Chapter 74 I have a feeling that the two of us will have a very happy family...

Ye Man was dragged back to the room with an empty mind.

Xu Huaiting asked him to sit on the bed for a while and went to the closet to get clothes for him.

"Are pajamas okay?"

"Um."

After a few seconds, Xu Huaiting felt the corner of his clothes falling gently.

The person who was originally sitting on the bed came over at some point and was pulling at the corner of his clothes from behind.

Xu Huaiting stopped and turned to look at him. He noticed that the surroundings were quiet. The other person looked up blankly, as if asking what was wrong.

Xu Huaiting was touched at once. He let go of the clothes in his hands, turned around and hugged him, kissed him, and rested his chin on his head, sighing helplessly: "What should I do with you? The more I look at you, the more I like you. I like you so much that I want to find a chain to tie you to me and take you with me wherever I go."

"......" Ye Man tugged at his sleeve and said in a muffled voice, "Sure."

Xu Huaiting wanted to laugh, "Now that you say that, I'm really moved."

Ye Man thought to himself, this guy is not smart, wouldn't that make him even more troubled? He seems to enjoy doing such a hard job, he is the dumbest fool Ye Man has ever seen.

Ye Man held out her hand to him, "You tie it."

Xu Huaiting put his hands into his arms and sighed as if admitting defeat: "How could I bear to do that?"

He held him and rocked him gently: "Xiao Man, I have a feeling that we two will have a very happy family in the future."

"we?"

Xu Huaiting said with a smile: "Can you give me a chance to propose?"

It took Ye Man a while to realize that he was talking about proposing to her.

This makes others look even dumber.

After thinking it through, he said in a panic, "I've never been in love before, I don't know, do I need to be given a chance for this as well? What should I say now?"

"Say yes." Xu Huaiting reminded, and thought seriously, "If you say no, then I can only ask again in a few months."

Ye Man blinked rapidly: "Okay."

Xu Huaiting laughed softly.

Ye Man blushed at his laughter and muttered, "Isn't it too fast?"

"No, there are still several months until summer, not fast at all," Xu Huaiting said, "Before that, I still have some problems to solve, and Ye Guowen also..."

And he had his own problems.

Xu Huaiting also has some past that needs to be settled.

After that, he would hold his hand and stride forward, never letting go, and would keep walking like this for the rest of his life.

Ye Man leaned in his arms, nervously tightening her fingers: "Ricardo..."

Xu Huaiting: "Don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side. All your problems will be solved smoothly."

Ye Man nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

"This pajamas looks nice. Do you want me to help you change?"

The sudden change of topic made Ye Man unable to follow and he was stunned for a moment. He was still thinking about the previous topic, how did it end up being about changing clothes?

Taking advantage of the fact that he couldn't see, Xu Huaiting did not hide his teasing smile at all.

My original intention was just to tease him, but Ye Manyun nodded.

The smile on Xu Huaiting's face gradually took on a different meaning. He touched his ear and said in a much softer voice, "Do you really want me to help you change it?"

"Didn't you say...?"

The places touched by his fingers turned red and hot, and Ye Man turned her head away.

Since her boyfriend had already said so, there was no reason for Xu Huaiting to refuse.

But there was really nothing they could do, as the Chi family was still waiting for them, and this was not their home.

He quickly helped Ye Man take off the clothes that were soaked by the cold wind and put on pajamas. Then Xu Huaiting went to the bathroom and wet a towel.

“Mmmmm!”

"Hold still, wipe your face."

Xu Huaiting lifted his face and wiped away the tears with a hot towel.

He changed Ye Man into soft and comfortable pajamas and helped him put on slippers. He then took off his ugly coat, rolled up his sleeves casually, and quickly rinsed his head with the water. He wiped his face, casually combed his wet hair back, took out his cell phone, thought for a moment, and sent a few messages to Secretary Chen.

When Xu Huaiting came out, Ye Man was still standing there waiting for him. As soon as he saw him, Xu Huaiting's eyes softened.

He walked over and said to him, "Let's go."

Then he took Ye Man downstairs to eat.

When they went downstairs, there was a large table full of hot food. Everyone else was waiting for the two of them before they started eating. When they saw them coming down, they quickly called them over.

Usually, the two brothers sat next to Ye Man and took care of him, but today it was Xu Huaiting who sat next to him.

During the dinner, everyone tried every possible way to make Ye Man happy.

Grandma Chi sat on the other side of Ye Man, paying attention to what he liked to eat and constantly picking up food for him.

Ye Man ate something he liked, and at the table full of people, he raised his chin towards Xu Huaiting and said, "I want more of the one I just ate."

He only needs to speak out and someone will meet all his demands. He doesn't need to take care of the emotions of the people around him.

After the meal, Ye Man still felt that it was a little unbelievable.

By the way, the system hasn't spoken for a long time.

He immediately called out "Brother Tong" several times in fear.

The system didn't want to respond to him at first, it was shutting down on purpose, but Ye Man would get anxious if it didn't respond, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and start talking.

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaa——!”

Ye Man's brain was paralyzed by the continuous piercing alarm sounds.

"Tong, Tong-brother..."

"I said I couldn't turn on the microphone, but you forced me to do it! I was afraid I might make you deaf!"

This guy is really good at hiding things! How can he keep so many things in his heart and still smile to others every day?

How could he brush aside so many painful things in such a joking tone?

When I thought about this, the system's whistle became more and more intense and could not be stopped at all.

"......" Ye Man rubbed his ears silently

Brother Tong is so thoughtful.

I am indeed almost deaf.

Ye Man also said considerately: "Then you should just turn it off."

“Just wait until I finish singing, then…!”

My ears suddenly became clear.

Ye Man raised the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Chi Jue left in advance. After the meal, he came back with a big bag, looking cold.

Gao Xing said, "Xiao Man, I bought some fireworks. Do you want to go out and have some fun?"

Ye Manteng sat up straight with joy: "Fireworks!"

Xu Huaiting held him down: "It's cold outside, I'll get you some clothes."

Just as he finished speaking, Chi Yan had someone send over a thick and long down jacket and handed it to Xu Huaiting, asking him to put it on. "Just play for a while. Don't stay outside for too long. It's cold."

Only when he saw Ye Man nodded in agreement did he feel relieved.

After getting dressed, Xu Huaiting took Ye Man to the yard outside to watch the fireworks.

Several elders and Chi Yan stood on the balcony on the second floor. Xu Huaiting and Ye Man sat on the steps. Chi Jue put out the fireworks in the yard. "I'm going to light them."

Ye Man sat up straight: "Yeah!"

Chi Jue lit the fuse.

After the sizzling sound, there was a second of vacuum, and then dazzling colors rose into the sky.

“Whoosh—bang—”

Xu Huaiting took out a fairy wand from the bag, asked Ye Man to take it and light it, and he also took one and lit it.

Children's stuff.

As he watched, he began to laugh and looked towards the young man beside him. The golden fireworks illuminated the joyful smile on his face.

This person is very beautiful when she cries.

It makes people's hearts break along with him.

Her smile is even more heart-warming.

Xu Huaiting felt that he must have never told him that he was very cute when he smiled. He had never seen anyone with such a curve at the corner of his mouth that made people want to touch it.

He really liked him, so much that he didn't know where to put his heart. He wanted to give him his heart so that he would be less sad and smile more like he is now.

“Ahh—”

It was too cold outside. Ye Man stayed for a while, then was forced back indoors with a sense of unfulfilled desire. She also drank a bowl of red date and ginger soup to drive away the cold.

Xu Huaiting paid special attention, fearing that he hadn't seen enough and would start to feel sad in secret again.

The mouth on his body is just a decoration, as if talking less can make his mouth more useful two years longer than others.

But Ye Man was different this time.

Xu Huaiting couldn't help asking, "Haven't you seen enough? Aren't you unhappy?"

Ye Man shook her head, and walked up to him with great interest and said, "No, let's watch it together next time when you want to watch it. It's not like this is the only chance in our lifetime, right?"

His face looked shabby after crying, but there was a burst of vigor and vitality coming from it.

Xu Huaiting moved his fingers and touched his head: "Yes."

Ye Man narrowed his eyes: "Hehe!"

......

After dinner and play, the family sat in the living room.

Xu Huaiting held Ye Man's hand tightly and soothed his anxiety.

"There is something about Xiaoman that I think I should tell you."

Feeling the hand he was holding clenched into a fist, Xu Huaiting held it even tighter, "Regarding Xiaoman's previous adoptive father, Mr. Chi Jue's biological father..."

This is what Ye Man is most afraid of having others know.

When he was unable to tell the truth he knew, he became Ye Guowen's accomplice.

A secret that cannot be told at the beginning will become more and more difficult to tell later.

Ye Man had no doubt that the system called him a vicious cannon fodder, because he felt that he had indeed done something bad. If the Chi family knew about this, what would be their reaction? Would they kick him out? Would it be the ending the system said?

To this day, he still can't say it out loud. He only dares to say it in front of Xu Huaiting.

Xu Huaiting sorted out the matter for him and told him the whole story, cause and effect.

"It's a big holiday, and I really shouldn't be talking about such a heavy topic, but I think this matter can't be delayed, it must be resolved as soon as possible, and I must let everyone know the specific situation as soon as possible."

Because Ye Man needs it.

Otherwise, how long would he have to worry about this matter?

After a long silence.

Bang!

Ye Man was startled. What a familiar voice!

"Brother Tong, are you back?"

Brother Tong didn’t speak, so he wasn’t Brother Tong.

Chi Yanrong, who slapped himself, bent down and covered his face. In an instant, he seemed to have aged ten times. Qin Fangrui's face was already covered with tears.

Chi Yan's face turned slightly pale, and Chi Jue stood there in a daze, unable to speak.

The three elders of the Chi family looked at Ye Man who was sitting next to Xu Huaiting with pity.

Chi Yan said in a hoarse voice: "So, Xiaoman, how did your eyes become like this?"

"You have been reluctant to tell us, can you tell us now?"

Ye Man adopted an evasive attitude whenever Ye Guowen was mentioned. There was nothing wrong with his eye problem itself, but when it came to Ye Guowen, he didn't want to mention it.

But more often than not, maybe they feel that there is no point in bringing it up.

Ye Man seldom thinks back on the past. What has happened has already happened. Why bother talking about those things endlessly? How can you live your life from now on?

If you keep thinking about it...if you keep thinking about it...a little resentment will suddenly arise from the bottom of your heart.

If only...

This thought was too tormenting. Ye Man felt that he would not be able to live like that. People always have to look forward. If you are blind, you can just live blindly. What else can you do?

At least he was proud when he kept his 30,000 yuan, and he was not a loser.

"I was fighting with Ye Guowen for money that night. It was the money I saved to pay off my debts. I didn't want to give it to him, so he grabbed it. Then we started fighting. He kicked me, and the wine bottle on the table broke and stabbed my eye..."

His face was covered in blood, but he was smiling, and his eyes flashed with a light that was too bright to look at for the last time.

He told Ye Guowen to either beat him to death or get out.

Ye Guowen did not beat him to death. He was still his father at that time. This man was a strange one. He loved Ye Man briefly when Ye Man was very young.

He gambled and committed domestic violence, but he was willing to spend the only fifty yuan he had on him and take Ye Man, who had scored full marks on the exam, out to a restaurant. He would let him ride on his neck and take him around to play.

So he bet that he would not kill him, and the cowardly guy did not dare to kill him.

Ye Man won the bet.

He raised his head proudly like a victorious king and laughed at Ye Guowen's fleeing back. He defended his property at all costs.

A burst of suppressed crying broke out all around, and I didn't know who it came from.

Xu Huaiting held his hand tightly all the time.

Chi Jue's face lost all color, he staggered and fell to the ground.

But Ye Man was very calm.

Easier than ever before.

It turns out that when these things are said out loud, that's just how it is.

The warmth on the back of his hand continued to spread to Ye Man's body, and he let out a breath.

Eyelashes drooping.

He said softly, "That sounds so pitiful."
