Mao Shibai was stunned for a moment, what did Shilan's words mean, did he want to use means to have something to do with him, or did he really want to say something to himself.

After Shi Lan said this, she felt a lot more relaxed, for so long, Shi Lan has always felt a huge stone pressing on her heart, and every breath feels like a pain in her heart. Well, now, it's like a condemned prisoner who hears a gunshot at noon, and it's over.

Mao 18 turned around, Shi Lan's big eyes were looking at him, and at that moment, Mao 18 felt his heart move, and he couldn't say it. Quickly lowered his head, sat down in the chair, and moved the chair back again.

Shilan said, is it okay to give me a cigarette?

Mao 18 glanced up at Shilan and said, You can smoke.

Shilan smiled bitterly and said, how many bad women can't smoke.

Mao Shibai was speechless, quietly waiting for Shilan to speak.

The room was very peaceful without a single sound.

Mao 18 felt something tormenting flowing.

Grabbed the half cup of herbal tea on the table and drank it with a clatter.

Shilan spat out a puff of cigarette and began his story.

Once upon a time, in a small village, there was a boy named Mao Mao and a girl named Shi Lan.

Mao Mao lives at the east end of the village, and Shi Lan lives at the west end of the village. Mao Mao is two years older than Shi Lan.

Shilan has not had a father since she was a child, she doesn't know why she doesn't have a father, and her mother never talks to her.

The children in the village laughed at Shi Lan, saying that Shi Lan was a fatherless child. Shi Lan was six years old that year.

Shi Lan cried and ran home to ask her mother why she didn't have a father, and that no one else had a father.

Mother said that your father went to a very distant place, which was full of flowers, and his father was waiting for us there.

Sooner or later, our family will return to that place for a reunion.

Shi Lan said that her mother lied, why didn't other people's fathers go to that place and wait, why did my father.

The mother also cried. No more talking.

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door, and a chubby little boy walked in. In his hand he held a bamboo basket full of large, yellow apricots.

The mother touched a handful of tears and said that Maomao had come.

Mao Mao smiled and said, Auntie, I'll bring food to Shi Lan.

Shi Lan was still young after all, and when she saw such a tempting Huang Xing, she forgot about her mother, touched a handful of tears and followed Mao Mao directly to eat apricots.

Mao Mao said, Shi Lan, I will protect you in the future, be your father, and see which of them dares to bully you.

Shi Lan looked at Mao Mao innocently and said, Dad seems to be old, you can't do it.

Mao Mao said, then I will be your brother. Shi Lan nodded.

Since then, Mao Mao has fought with others for Shi Lan, and the deep scar next to her nose has not gone down to this day.

Shi Lan's mother is very independent, because she has never married, in the summer of the year Shi Lan was admitted to high school, in order to earn tuition for Shilan, her mother went up the mountain to collect medicine and fell into the ditch.

When everyone got home, there was only one breath left.

Shi Lan's mother took Shi Lan's hand, and tears flowed down.

Shi Lan knew that her mother couldn't rest assured of herself, and she couldn't do without her mother.

Mao Mao said on the side, Auntie, you can rest assured that you will take good care of Shi Lan.

Shi Lan's mother looked at Mao Mao and closed her eyes.

After the funeral, school will start in a few days, but Shi Lan has no thoughts at all.

Her father is gone, her mother is gone, and what she will do in the future, Shi Lan doesn't know.

Crying has cried enough, Shi Lan feels that God is too unfair, why does God treat herself like this.

Just when Shi Lan was in a daze, Mao Mao came over and said that you go to school, and I will provide for you.

Shi Lan's mouth opened wide in surprise. After a long time, Shi Lan said, no, you still have to go to school, I can't drag you down.

Mao Mao said, I can't study well anyway, and it's not interesting if I can't go to school. Just don't go, you have a chance, you can pass the test in the future, don't forget to come back and see me when the time comes.

Just when the two of them were talking, Maomao's mother came, slapped Maomao in the mouth, pointed at Shi Lan and scolded, fox spirit, you have the same virtue as your dead mother, and you will seduce people at such a young age.

Maomao got into an argument with his mother and left.

In the middle of the night, Maomao came over again and said, tomorrow you go first, and I will go to find you when you go to school.

Shi Lan said, forget it, you better go by yourself, I'll leave tomorrow, but not with you, I'm going to work, how can people live this life, why force yourself.

Mao Mao said, if you don't go to school, I will die directly. As he spoke, Mao Mao didn't know where to take out a dagger and put it on his arm.

The sharp dagger was placed on the arm, and the blade sank into the flesh.

Shi Lan cried in fright all of a sudden, pulled Maomao's arm and said, Brother, I promise you, I promise you.

Mao Mao smiled and said, aren't you done like this earlier, okay, I'll go back to sleep, and you will wait for me at the bus station in the town tomorrow.

The next day, Shi Lan came to the bus station and was very conflicted.

Maomao is good to herself, how can she repay it, marry his mother, Shi Lan doesn't have that feeling for Maomao, it's more of a family affection, or a dependence on her father.

But Mao Mao was able to sacrifice a qiē for himself and sacrifice his future, which is simply a heavy burden.

Mao Mao's results are not as good as he said, but they are not as good as Shi Lan.

Shi Lan has always been the first in the class, Mao Mao is always behind her, second or third is not necessarily.

But boys have potential, and who knows what it will be like when they go to high school.

Maomao came over, Maomao's mother kept nagging beside him, Maomao looked a little impatient, and said, okay, you go back. I know it all.

Mao Mao got into the car and waved his hand to his mother, along the way, Mao Mao did not talk to Shi Lan, and when they arrived at the county seat, the two of them got out of the car, and Mao Mao handed an envelope to Shi Lan. And then it was gone.

Shi Lan shouted a few words in the back, but Mao Mao had already walked away.

Shi Lan opened the envelope, and inside was money, a thick wad, which should be the tuition fee that Maomao's mother brought to Maomao, as well as living expenses.

Underneath the money is a very short letter, and he is elegant and handsome.

Shi Lan, don't feel like you owe me anything, what I promised you was at the beginning.

Shi Lan cried, feeling full of happiness when she sat in a strange county town.

Shi Lan dragged a big luggage and came to school, and secretly swore in her heart that she must be admitted to college, find a good job, marry Mao Mao in the future, and give him a chubby son. Just like when he was a kid.
