After Aunt Chen left, the two of them sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room to play a game of color matching, and let him find pairs in several pairs of wooden blocks of different shapes and colors, Tan Man took the opportunity to teach him some concepts of "symmetry" and "order", and tried to get him to open his mouth to respond to his questions. The child likes this game very much, and it just so happens that almost all the things in Gu Mochen's 'obsessive-compulsive disorder' house appear in pairs, and Xiaobei is given ready-made conditions for practice.

Tan Man looked at the clock several times in one night, until nine o'clock, Gu Mochen hadn't come back yet, maybe it was the past month, she was used to the presence of another person in this huge house, and tonight's coldness made her a little uncomfortable.

She lowered her head and said to Xiaobei: "It's nine o'clock, I have to go to bed, Xiaobei is trying to sleep by himself tonight, okay, my sister is in the living room and doesn't leave." ”

Xiaobei frowned, and the orange light on the ceiling of the living room fell on his little face, sad and pitiful.

Tan Man also frowned at him, pursed his lips and said aggrievedly: "But today my sister is so tired and has no strength." ”

"You sleep here!" Xiaobei dragged her into the room and pointed to his small bed.

Manman snorted and laughed, and had to admit that in the face of this child's coquettish skills, she had no ability to parry, pinched her little face, and compromised: "You, hurry up and brush your teeth, come back and lie down, and I'll tell you a story." ”

When Xiaobei was brushing his teeth carefully with a children's toothbrush, Manman leaned against the bathroom door and looked at him, and the text message on his mobile phone suddenly rang.

"I'm still in a meeting, if Xiaobei sleeps, you can go back first, you don't have to accompany me all the time."

Sender: Gu Mochen.

Tan Man stared at the screen three times, as if it was the first time he had texted her.

Tan Man didn't think about it, and quickly replied: "It's okay, I'll wait for you to come back before leaving." ”

When she was revisiting the message she had just sent, the other party replied almost instantly: "Then I'll be back as soon as possible." ”

The first thing that noticed the smirk on her face was the large mirror on the sink.

The downlight above her head shone appropriately on the side of her face, and in the mirror, she saw a stupid and beautiful girl, and at this moment when the temperature and light were just right, she seemed to hear the sound of a seed sprouting.

"Vine is sick!"

Xiaobei's sudden voice woke her up from her intoxication, she stood up straight, like a child who had done something bad and was discovered, and her black and white eyes blinked weakly: "My sister is not sick!" ”

"Blushing, feverish!"

She looked up at herself in the mirror again, she was obviously white just now, when did she get a layer of redness? She subconsciously covered her face with two palms, and hastily defended: "No." ”

But when she thinks about it, in front of a six-year-old child, what is her heart empty?!

"It is a force that may seem harmful on the surface, but in fact it teaches you how to fulfill your destiny and cultivate your spirit and perseverance. Because on this planet, there is a great truth: no matter who you are, no matter what you do, when you desire something, you will eventually be able to get it, because that desire comes from the soul of the universe. That's your mission on earth......"

"Xiaobei is asleep, still reading?!" Before Gu Mochen spoke, he had been standing by the door and listening for a while.

Tan Man turned his head suddenly, Gu Mochen was leaning against the door, holding the dark blue tie that had just been untied in his hand, and the top two buttons of his white shirt were loosened. Through the dim light, his eyes, which had become soft because of exhaustion, were sexy and lazy, and fell on him, and the blood in his body seemed to suddenly become a bubbling spring, boiling unrestrainedly.

It is undeniable that since receiving his text message, Tan Man has always been in a state of absent-mindedness, so much so that even Xiaobei has fallen asleep, and she is still reading the storybook mechanically.

Pretending to be calm, she folded a corner of the book and put it on the bedside table, and she got up calmly: "You're back." ”

He nodded, turned off the wall lamp and walked out of the room: "Is Xiaobei good today?" ”

"Hmm!" She nodded vigorously, mentioning Xiaobei, she forgot the embarrassment just now for a while, and said to him excitedly, "Do you know, Xiaobei took the initiative to greet me when he saw me today, you don't know how surprised I was at that time." ”

At this moment, Tan Man was naïve and reckless, and Gu Mochen's gaze couldn't help but stay on her for two more seconds.

"I play a color matching game for him, and the house happens to be full of pairs......" She followed behind Gu Mochen, walked to the bar and sat on the high stool, with her hands on her cheeks, and reported Xiaobei's progress endlessly, while Gu Mochen poured a glass of water on the side, and looked at her seriously while drinking, neither of them noticed, and before they knew it, the relationship between them was as natural as a young couple who were raising children together.

"Xiaobei likes you very much."

Gu Mochen looked at her and smiled gently.

This was the first time Gu Mochen had smiled at her so closely.

Tan Man was stunned for a while, she didn't know how to describe this smile, his lower eyelids bulged because of a slight smile, and the lying silkworm was full of temptation.

She has never been a supporter of love at first sight, so this heartbeat must be because the other party has a criminal appearance.

Lowering his head and jumping off the barstool, Tan Man stammered a little and said, "Eh, it's not early, I, I'll go back first." ”

"Wait, I'll send you!" His wallet and car keys were in the shoe closet, as if he were ready to go.

"No need, you just came back after a busy day."

"It doesn't matter, a day in the office is just a good time to go for a ride."

Sitting in the co-pilot, her mood became inexplicably nervous.

"'Whoever you are, whatever you do, when you desire something, you will eventually get it,' do you believe it?" Suddenly, the person next to him spoke, and the content was unexpected.

This is one of the descriptions in the story that Tan Man read to Xiaobei tonight.

Tan Man thought for a while and said, "There is a spiritual inspirational book called "Secret", which also says this, 'When you really desire something, the whole universe will unite to help you complete it'. ”

Gu Mochen smiled lightly and shook his head: "I never look at chicken soup for the soul." ”

"Hehe, if you say that you have read me, you are surprised, in addition to legal documents, you probably can also see some of Tolstoy's old people."

He frowned: "In your eyes, am I so old?" ”

"You are eight years older than me, and according to the three-year generation gap, we are almost three generations apart." Tan Mantou finished speaking, and did not forget to tease, "So, you are more conservative, I can understand." ”

"Eight? Three generation gaps? He seemed to be talking to himself, and there was a light of thought in his eyes, and after a moment, he sneered, "So what, if I want to, thirty generations can be filled!" ”

She froze.

"It's you who say, 'When you crave something, the whole universe will come to you.'" He added.

Tan Man didn't quite understand, did he want to say that the entire universe would come to help him and fill the generation gap between them?

There was a brief silence in the carriage.

At this moment, the radio just happened to broadcast a soft love song for the occasion, and the atmosphere was just right.

"When you go home at night, don't take the bus, I'll send you."

Tan Man was once again shocked by his light breeze, but his words were amazing, and he sat stiffly and didn't know how to answer.

Yu Guang caught her sluggishness, and Gu Mochen explained indifferently: "Recently, I have heard the news of the disappearance of young girls, you are for Xiaobei, so you increase the chance of danger, and I have an obligation to protect you." ”

She smiled heartily, trying to hide the tension and excitement in her heart: "Thank you, I decided to give you one more point!" In the future, don't call me Miss Tan, just call me Manman. ”

Gu Mochen looked very happy, and the lines of his side face were slightly pulled up, as if he was smiling.

Tan Man turned her head and looked out the window, the night was like a tide, and the beautiful night scene of the city turned into a melodious song in her eyes, rippling in her heart......

……

Early the next morning, Tan Man walked to the school gate and saw the doorman take a broom and vigorously brush the propaganda board outside the school gate, sweeping the advertising paper all over the ground, one of which was a relatively complete A4 paper that attracted her attention.

"Justice Served: He Li, a former teacher at Bo'ai Special Education School, a ten-year-old mentally handicapped girl, was detained for half a month, but was acquitted because of a tough backstage, and after the little girl suffered an attempt, her personality changed greatly, and she cried all day long......"

She hesitated, but tucked the paper into her bag.

During the internship, she used to be an assistant life teacher for third-grade students, and she came into contact with this little girl, who looked smart, if she sat quietly and didn't speak, she couldn't tell that she was an intellectually disabled girl, and she was also a child who was transferred to a special school last semester.

"Manman, I have sorted out the plan you made last time, and I have made an application for special funds, and you can hand it over to the Finance Department for approval and sealing."

"Okay, Sister Ling." After taking the papers from the director, Manman went to the finance office.

At that time, Mr. Zhang, who handed over the information to the finance department for approval, happened to see Xiaoqing's withdrawal application, and it was estimated that she was going through the financial process, she couldn't help but want to inquire about Xiaoqing's situation, so she said euphemistically: "It turns out that you have to drop out of school, and there are so many processes to go." ”

Teacher Zhang smiled helplessly: "No, it's the end of the month again, and I'm already busy, hey, this student is still subsidized for admission, and the procedures are more cumbersome." ”

"How long does this withdrawal process take?"

"I can't say, it depends on the speed of each leader's signing, this student's situation is quite special, so it's more troublesome."

"Then if you go halfway through the process and suddenly don't want to drop out, can you cancel it?"

"As long as you don't get to the last procedure, you should be able to do it, but I haven't encountered it, and those who can make up their minds to submit their applications are all thoughtful."

Tan Man nodded silently: "Teacher Zhang, our fund application, let's put it here first, please deal with it when you are free, thank you." ”

On the way back to the office, I saw Lemon who had just finished class: "Vine, what are you doing, you have a lot of worries." ”

"I'm thinking about Xiaoqing, I always feel that she is too wronged, did you see the things posted on the propaganda board at the school gate this morning?"

Lemon nodded: "It was all removed from the school early in the morning." Hey, what's the use of them making a fuss like that, they have to go through legal channels or expose him on the Internet. ”

yes, why don't they go to court?

Tan Man suddenly thought of Gu Mochen, maybe you can ask him if there is any way to solve it better.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lemon asked, "Vine, are you trying to stand up for them?" ”

"Me? I just happen to know a lawyer, or I can help ask. ”

"I advise you not to wade into troubled waters, after all, you are a newcomer who has just passed the internship period, and it is not good if you accidentally offend someone."

Manman smiled: "Don't worry, I'm measured." ”
