Ning Wan didn't know how much effort she had to put in to stop herself from screaming.
but!
Why is Aman sleeping in her bed?
Why is he hugging his own waist?!
Looking at that sleeping face so close to hers, Ning Wan admitted that she felt a pang of panic.
No, this is a dream.
This must be a dream!
She forced herself to close her eyes and counted down from three.
Three seconds later, she felt even more desperate.
What on earth is she doing?!
Right now, Aman is just a child who doesn't understand anything.
Although this child is a bit taller, bigger, and stronger.
But his immature mind made him clearly different from an adult like Ning Wan. How could she...?
Beast!
...
After calming down, Ning Wan began to check the two people's clothes.
Fortunately, they are all intact.
The top button of the clothes was also neatly fastened.
Thankfully, nothing happened.
Otherwise, she really wouldn't know how to face Aman next.
Ning Wan slowly stood up.
Using her thumb and forefinger, she gently pinched Aman's arm, which was resting on her waist, and moved it away, then carefully got off the bed.
They planned to pretend they knew nothing.
However, the next second, Ning Yanshu pushed open the door and entered: "Mom, the sun's already high in the sky, why aren't you up yet!~"
In the blink of an eye, their eyes met.
Aman, who had been woken up, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "Good morning, Wanwan."
Ning Wan: "..."
No, Wanwan is not good...
...
Because of being drunk, I was unable to open the shop the next day.
Ning Wan then decided to take a day off.
I ate lunch at home.
During the meal, Ning Yanshu's gaze kept falling on Ning Wan's stomach, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
The gaze was far too intense.
Ning Wan, unable to bear it any longer, put down her chopsticks and asked, "What exactly are you looking at?"
"Is there already a younger sister here?" Ning Yanshu asked, surprising everyone.
Ning Wan was glad she hadn't eaten a mouthful of food, otherwise she would have either choked to death or spat it out.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Ning Wan asked angrily.
But I wasn't really angry.
It's mostly a sense of shame that's at play.
“Wang Zihao said that his parents sleep in the same bed every day, so he has a little sister now.” Ning Yanshu bit her chopsticks and said, “My mom also sleeps in the same bed with Aman, so Xiaoshu is curious whether I will have a little sister too.”
Ning Wan couldn't answer this soul-searching question.
So she could only resort to her old trick, using bloodline suppression: "Children shouldn't pry into adult matters... Wait, you mean, Wang Zihao's mother is pregnant with her second child?"
"Yes. Wang Zihao told me secretly after the last sports meet."
Ning Yanshu lowered his head, picking at the rice in his bowl, looking somewhat unhappy: "Mom, please give me a little sister too. I don't want to lose to Wang Zihao."
Ning Wan: "..."
No appointment.
Thank you for the invitation.
goodbye……
...
Ning Wan had always known the terrifying power of gossip and rumors.
But she never expected that the first person to gossip would be her son!
Ning Wan had only rested at home for one day.
When I went out the next day, I was met with pairs of curious, gratified, and inquisitive eyes.
That burning passion for gossip was almost numbing her.
Xu Xiufeng subtly inquired about Ning Wan's recent relationship with Aman.
Ning Wan could only smile tactfully and reply that everything was fine.
Sun Wen and Jiang Zhiruo mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, that having only one child at home is inevitably a bit lonely.
Ning Wan hurriedly congratulated Sun Wen on the birth of her second child.
Even Ning You jokingly said, "Aman is a bit silly, but he's an honest person. I'm very satisfied with him."
Ning Wan: "You're the stupid one, your whole family is stupid."
It wasn't until the afternoon that Chen Limin came to find her.
Ning Wan then realized just how terrifying the rumors Ning Yanshu had spread in just one day were.
“Xiao Shu is telling everyone you’re going to give birth to her little sister, and that you’ll be done in a few days.” Chen Limin covered her mouth, laughing openly, “I knew something was wrong as soon as I heard that. Giving birth isn’t like cooking, how can you say you’ll be done in a few days?”
Ning Wan's clenched fists were rock hard.
"Wait till school's over, I'll teach him a lesson!"
After laughing and joking for a while, Chen Limin sighed and said, "Actually, children's thoughts are simple. They just hope that the whole family is doing well. It's normal for Ning Yanshu to want a little sister to keep him company since Aman has been gone for so long."
It was only at this point that Ning Wan suddenly realized something.
Ning Yanshu seemed to have not asked about Shen Fu for a very long time.
He now seems to have fully integrated into his current life and has come to regard Aman as his father.
"Don't always treat them like children; kids these days are very clever."
"When problems arise, we need to communicate properly. The method of education that involves hitting and scolding is outdated... Don't end up like me, raising your child astray, and it will be too late to regret it later."
After saying that, Chen Limin lowered her eyes and sighed softly.
Has he come back to ask you for money recently?
Chen Limin shook her head: "Actually, I've always felt that our experiences are quite similar. But back then, I didn't have someone like Aman who would wholeheartedly protect me, and I didn't have any friends I could turn to for help..."
Ning Wan was about to pat her on the shoulder to comfort her when she heard her say, "But I don't have your weird parents either."
Ning Wan: "..."
That was a good comforting remark; please don't do it again next time.
Chen Limin smiled with relief and said, "Yesterday I mustered up my courage and called my brother, whom I hadn't contacted in a long time. He said he missed me a lot..."
“Although my parents are gone, as long as my brother is here, home is still home. He said I can come home anytime,” Chen Limin said. “I plan to go back and visit in a while. After wandering for decades, I miss home.”
The word "home" can bring tears to the eyes of anyone far from home, just by uttering it.
Ning Wan comforted her, saying, "It's good to be home. You have a home and family. Everything will get better slowly."
Chen Limin nodded, then took out a set of keys: "These are the keys to the shop. I'd like to ask you to keep them here for the time being."
The shop's rent won't expire until the end of the year.
There are still many things that haven't been moved yet.
"If... if he comes looking for me and can't find me, he might cause trouble at your shop..."
In fact, Chen Limin was also hesitant, as she knew Chen Zhuoyang's personality.
If I leave, and he comes to ask for the money but can't find me, will he cause trouble at Ning Wan's shop?
But after living in Longshou Village for so many years, she really couldn't find anyone to help her.
Ning Wan took the key and comforted her, "It's okay. Don't worry about it. We'll take care of it. Even if things get really bad, we still have Aman."
Thinking of how fierce Aman looked when he wasn't stupid, and Chen Zhuoyang's bullying and cowardly nature.
Chen Limin nodded with a sigh of relief...
