"Xiaobei, on New Year's Eve, will my brother take you to Disney?!"

Tan Manmin smiled, is he trying to please Xiaobei's rhythm?

"Do you want to be together?!" Xiaobei sat up and blinked his dark and translucent eyes, "Brother, Manman, Xiaobei, the three of you go together!" ”

She was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at his back.

At this time, the car was already firmly parked in the parking lot of the book city, Gu Mochen turned out the fire, turned his head and said to Tan Man: "New Year's Day holiday, if it's okay, let's go together." ”

Xiaobei suddenly stretched out his little hand and broke her face to herself, like other children, she actually learned to be coquettish: "Manman go with us, okay?!" ”

Originally, she wanted to take advantage of the holiday to go home, but the little guy's look of anticipation and enthusiasm made her heart melt instantly and hesitate.

"Are you selling cuteness to me?" She pinched his little face.

Xiaobei pouted, and sure enough, he sold cuteness, winked at himself, and nodded seriously, Tan Man smiled bitterly, where does this child look like an autistic child, he is obviously a master of flirting with girls.

Gu Mochen had already gotten out of the car, he opened the rear door, took Xiaobei down, and then turned around, put his other arm on the car door, bent over slightly and tilted his head, raised his eyebrows at Tan Man and asked, "Do you have other arrangements for the holiday?" ”

Looking at his good-looking face, which suddenly zoomed in, Tan Man was a little caught off guard, and she swallowed her saliva.

"Could it be that you and your brother are both good at beautiful men?"

Gu Mochen didn't seem to expect her to say this, and was slightly stunned, but soon, a wicked smile appeared in his eyes: "I'll give you a promise, get out of the car!" ”

"Hey!" Tan Man looked at the back of a tall and short beautiful man in front of him, and said indignantly, "My time also has to be reserved!" ”

"Then I'll make an appointment for Xiaobei first!"

“……”

There was a book signing party in the book city today, and it was crowded, so it was so lively, Gu Mochen simply held Xiaobei in his arms and walked briskly in the direction of the escalator.

Tan Man followed closely behind, as she walked, she couldn't help but look curiously towards the stage set up at the event site, and didn't notice that on the other side of herself, several female fans were rushing towards the front team, and when she turned around, she saw that she was about to be rushed into the crowd by them, and a solid and powerful long arm grabbed her into her arms at once.

Tan Man realized that he had escaped a mess, but he was startled by this sudden intimacy, and the whole person shrank motionless in Gu Mochen's arms, looking at him with big black eyes, like a frightened bird.

"Look at the road!" Gu Mochen looked down at her panicked appearance, scolded in a low voice angrily, and then let go of his hand and let her walk in front of him, his body slightly closer to her, as if he wanted to protect her.

At this moment, Tan Man found that the crazy and enthusiastic cheers and shouts of the fans around her could not hide the heartbeat in her chest, and she became more and more convinced that she was walking towards an unrequited love that she couldn't extricate herself from.

Absentmindedly walking to the children's area, Tan Man took out his mobile phone, ready to buy things according to the list, Xiaobei couldn't wait to break free from Gu Mochen's arms and ran towards the cars placed on the toy shelves.

"Or you look at Xiaobei, I'll look for materials." She lowered her head and pretended to rummage through the handmade material bag in front of her.

"You can see him here, too, let's come along."

Gu Mochen's tone was resolute, she didn't insist, and continued to bow her head and choose.

"What books are you going to buy?"

Tan Man was stunned for a moment, and almost forgot about himself: "Oh, the review materials for the graduate school entrance examination." ”

"Preparing for graduate school?"

She nodded: "Read more books, I'm afraid it's useful, anyway, when I go back from work every day, I'm idle." ”

"When I graduated from my bachelor's degree, why didn't I continue studying? I have the impression that the first degree seems to be more meaningful than the highest degree. ”

"Because I don't want to delay my dad anymore." She raised her lips and smiled, seemingly shrugging her shoulders briskly, "I am a child of a single-parent family, when I was seventeen years old, my mother died, he was a father and a mother, everything was for my sake, sacrificed a lot, I was afraid that it would affect my college entrance examination, and refused many opportunities to remarry, if I continued to study in graduate school, he would never let me go out to work, in that case, I would have to delay him for several years, I don't want to see him save money for me to go to school, my dad is a middle school teacher, and his income can make him live well in his hometown." ”

This is the first time Gu Mochen has heard her talk about her family, originally thought that Tan Man, a girl as hot and cheerful as the sun, must have a happy and complete family, a collection of thousands of loves, so she can grow up without a trace of gloom, but hearing her words, she was very surprised and shocked.

Tan Man saw that he hadn't spoken, and looked at herself thoughtfully, so she grinned at him: "So, you are simply a living Bodhisattva, recruiting part-time jobs with high salaries, so that I am preparing for the graduate school entrance examination a year earlier than expected." ”

After saying that, he continued to walk forward, without looking at him again.

Gu Mochen followed behind, there was no superfluous response, looking at the pure and flawless shadow in front of him, he had the idea of wanting to be grateful for fate for the first time, he was very lucky, three months ago, he met Professor Zhang on a business trip in Beijing, and he was even more glad that she brought Tan Man to him, no matter what his identity was, at this moment, he felt that even if he was abandoned by his mother at the age of six and lived in exile with his father, fate would still favor him.

"Your father is great, and you are good." After a moment of silence, Gu Mochen said slowly.

Tan Man chose a material pack and turned around and gave it to him: "You take on the responsibilities that don't belong to you without complaint, and take care of Xiaobei alone, isn't it great?!" ”

He shook his head: "You and I, as well as Xiaobei, we are all growing up in an incomplete family, but your father taught you well, so that you always maintain your enthusiasm for life, full of expectations for the future, optimistic and kind, and rush to this point, which I can't compare, these years, I have not been so much taking care of Xiaobei, in fact, it is just to meet his economic needs as much as possible, so that he can eat and drink without worry, and my own life, in addition to working day and night, is helpless entertainment, I really don't know, such me, except for money, What else can it bring to Xiaobei. Sometimes when I look at you, I wonder if I'm missing some of the most basic human emotions. ”

Gu Mochen said casually, but behind the habitual tenacious and powerful aura, there seemed to be a trace of vulnerability.

"'Everyone is trekking their own life road, there are losses or regrets that others can't understand, no matter what, don't complain about the world, don't despair about the future, always stay strong and optimistic', this is the truth that my father taught me by practice, when I gradually formed my own world view and outlook on life, I looked back and found that my father's subtle influence is so powerful." Tan Man raised his eyes and looked at him, pious and sincere.

"In my eyes, whether as an elder brother or as a man, you are very good, very dazzling, you have the tenacity and hard work of a man, and the calm and responsible of your brother, these are the most needed qualities for Xiaobei to become a man who stands up to the sky, and you are also influencing him by your actions at this moment, so you have done a good job."

Tan Man said very sincerely, and Gu Mochen sank into those bright and deep eyes like Qingtan.

At this moment, he sincerely believed that the smart, kind and energetic girl in front of him would definitely be able to heal Xiaobei and even change his boring life.

After selecting the materials they needed, the two turned around and walked towards the toy shelf, where they found Xiaobei studying with a sample of a Thomas Locomotive.

"Do you like it?" Gu Mochen asked.

Xiaobei looked up, his shining eyes honestly revealing his heart.

"Hello!" Gu Mochen turned around and beckoned to the staff, "Is there a new one for this, help me get one!" ”

The other party said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, this Thomas train is out of stock, and there is only this sample left, but the door of this train is broken, and the closure is not very tight, if you need it, you can get a 5% discount." ”

Gu Mochen frowned, turned his head to Xiaobei and said, "It's broken, let's pick a new one." ”

Xiaobei, who was originally overjoyed, lost his temper when he heard this, and held his favorite toy: "I want this!" ”

"This toy is broken, we don't want it, pick a good one again." He picked up a larger one next to him and handed it to Xiaobei, "This one, this one is bigger and more beautiful!" ”

"Don't!" Xiaobei slapped the toy in Gu Mochen's hand hard.

Gu Mochen didn't seem to want to compromise, and patiently picked up the train on the ground: "Then let's go to another place to pick it, maybe there will be the same." ”

Xiaobei stubbornly shouted loudly: "I want this!" ”

Seeing a trace of anger rising in Gu Mochen's eyes, Tan Man immediately said: "Why don't you buy it, anyway, it's just that the door is not closed tightly, and it's not a big problem, you have already agreed to buy it for him, Xiaobei likes it again, why are you so persistent, maybe you can fix it when you go back to Xiaobei." ”

"Bad is bad, and I won't pay for a defective product."

After speaking, he resolutely took the Thomas train from Xiaobei's hand and put it back on the shelf, led Xiaobei to turn around and leave.

"Wow", Xiao Beida cried, struggling hysterically, but he couldn't break free of Gu Mochen, and could only look back at his beloved toy step by step.

"Manman, Manman......" Xiaobei cried as he shouted and threw a look of help at her.

Although she didn't quite agree with Gu Mochen's inexplicable insistence, but his face was resolute and angry, she didn't dare to say anything, she could only watch the little guy cry hoarsely.

"Xiaobei, that Thomas was broken just now, you may not like it when you buy it home, don't cry if you are obedient?"

"Don't, just that!" Xiaobei choked and insisted.

"Leave him alone, naturally he won't cry when he's tired of crying, it's not what he wants, he has to satisfy him." Gu Mochen said in a calm voice and irritably.
