In the previous life, the IF line was cultivated

The child lay on his stomach in front of Ning Chen's bed, holding Ning Chen's fingers with one hand and resting his soft face on the back of Ning Chen's hand.

The child whispered, "Peaceful."

He said again: "Brother."

It seemed like he only knew how to say these two words. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to wake Ning Shen up, but he was also afraid that he would wake Ning Shen up by speaking too loudly.

The moment Ning Chen moved seemed like an illusion, and there was no sound after that.

The child seemed to be extremely tired. His breathing slowed down after a while and gradually became regular.

Ning Shen opened his eyes with great effort, then turned his head with some difficulty and saw the child sleeping beside his arms.

The hospital gown was draped loosely on the child's body. He fell asleep with his head resting on his peaceful hands. After many days of treatment, the injuries on his body had almost healed.

But with sharp eyes like Ning Chen, he was still able to distinguish the new wounds on the child's face and body.

One of the child's hands was in a plaster cast hanging on his chest. He didn't dare to move, so he had to bend over, move over, and put his face against Ning Chen.

Like a wounded little animal coming together for warmth.

Ning Chen saw the plastered arm and immediately understood what had happened.

That beast must have beaten him again.

Ning Chen suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. He wanted to throw off the quilt and get out of bed to settle the score. However, Ning Chen forgot that he was also a patient who found it difficult to get out of bed and move freely. His injuries were even more serious than those of the child. As soon as he moved, he felt a crushing pain coming from all parts of his body and froze in place.

The movement instantly woke the child up. He raised his head suddenly and saw Ning Shen opened his eyes. He was conscious and even angry. He widened his eyes in disbelief.

Ning Chen met the child's dark eyes and was inexplicably stunned.

Then he saw the child with red eyes, circling his neck, avoiding the wound, and then burying himself in it silently.

The sobbing sound spread from deep in the chest, and Ning Shen heard the child choking and saying, "I'm sorry."

"sorry……"

Ning Chen's heart was completely soft.

He raised his hand and pressed the child's head, rubbing it soothingly, and said hoarsely, "Alright, alright, stop crying. I'm blessed with a good life and I won't die."

"It's all right."

He said nonchalantly, "I don't blame you. I put him in the sack once anyway, so it's not a loss. Don't take it to heart."

"Did you hear it?" Ning said threateningly, "Hurry up and say you heard it."

The child said with a nasal voice: "...Yeah. I heard it."

After a while, he whispered, "I feel at a loss."

Ning Chen: “…”

It's more than a loss, it's a huge loss.

Ning Chen had never suffered such a loss in his life.

I want you to say it!

Ning Chen used the only hand that could move to rub the child's head fiercely, then pressed the bedside bell and asked the nurse to come and punish the child who did not listen to the doctor's advice.

The child who was forced to lie back on the bed: "..."

While the two were recuperating in the hospital, the child's biological father was also detained.

The video of the child being beaten and covered in blood with a broken arm was uploaded to the Internet by someone, causing a huge public outcry. A kind-hearted lawyer contacted them and said that he could provide free legal aid. The child was silent for a while, and then thanked the lawyer many times when he came to visit him with a fruit basket.

After all, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. My mental state is not as good as moving forward. Sometimes, I would suddenly fall silent while chatting with my children.

At this time, the children would hold their breath, stare at Ning Chen's profile as he fell asleep silently for a long time, and then hold Ning Chen's hand with peace of mind.

When Ning Shen woke up again, he could always feel the child's breathing against the back of his hand.

Very light and regular, a kind of sweetness that makes one's heart melt.

The child's biological father's lawsuit went smoothly. Thanks to the efforts of a kind-hearted lawyer, the beast was successfully sentenced to eight years in prison.

The news of domestic violence spread widely in the local area, and the child's biological mother's reputation became notorious. Under pressure from public opinion, the company fired the child's biological mother, and no one in the local area dared to hire her.

The child's mother lost her job and her husband was in jail. She had no source of income and couldn't even pay the rent for the next month. It was said that not long after, someone saw her running madly onto the street and was hit and killed by a car that couldn't dodge in time.

Due to public opinion and the attention of their superiors, the police managed to catch the driver who caused the accident and sent him to the police station together with the rich young man who hired the murderer behind the scenes.

Ning Chen didn't have a good childhood. He ate at other people's houses, and after graduating from junior high school, he went out to work and support himself. He has been doing pretty well in the past few years. At least he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. Most of the money for this hospitalization was paid by the rich young master, and Ning Chen paid the rest by himself without any pressure. In addition, the expenses for the child's hospitalization were not much, so Ning Chen didn't feel bad about it anyway.

Money is just a material possession, the most important thing is that you are healthy.

But the child obviously didn't think so. He wanted to be discharged from the hospital after only a few days, but Ning Chen and the doctor forced him to stay for a month. The food in the hospital was not bad, and the child gained a few pounds.

Ning Chen was very satisfied.

By the time Ning Chen was discharged from the hospital and brought the child home, the child had regained some semblance of a human form. At least he was no longer as skinny as before, with bones all over his body trembling when he asked for a hug.

The school had known about this for a long time, so the children were considered on leave during the days they were in the hospital.

After this incident, Ning Shen returned to her normal life, while her child only came home once every two weeks due to his busy high school studies.

The first thing the child did when he came back from vacation was to talk to Ning Chen about changing his name.

Ning paused for a moment, didn't ask why, just said: "What name do you want to change to?"

The child looked into Ning's eyes and said, "I remember you said that people should live like clouds, free and unfettered."

Ning Chen raised his eyebrows: "Yeah."

The child chose a surname for himself, Xie, and then wrote two words on a piece of paper: "Tingyun."

"..." Ning Chen slapped the child on the back of the head and said bluntly, "Are you against me?"

Child:"……"

The child covered his head, which didn't hurt much, and complained softly, "No. I'm not trying to offend you, I just wanted to call it that."

Ning Chen: “…”

Ning Chen: "Okay."

The child held the piece of paper with his new name in his hand. He was silent for a while, and then said in a barely audible voice, "But the free-flying clouds still stopped."

For him.

Ning Chen was stunned.

The child folded the paper and put it away as if nothing had happened, then began to take out today's lunch from the bag.

Ning Chen can't cook, and usually he just eats casually at home. But since there was one more mouth to feed in the family, Ning Chen started to eat a little more seriously every day, since the two of them wouldn't starve to death anyway.

Since Ning Shen was hospitalized and had difficulty moving, Xie Tingyun has learned simple cooking skills from the aunties in the neighborhood. However, he doesn't seem to have any talent for cooking, and everything he cooked at the beginning was a mess.

So Xie Tingyun mastered how to buy delicious and affordable meals from outside.

It's much better than Ning Shen, who spends money lavishly, never looks at the bill, and only requires enough food to keep from starving to death.

The name change process was rather complicated. After completing the formalities, Ning Chen took someone to apply for a bank card and transferred tens of thousands of yuan into it. Xie Tingyun was shocked on the spot and refused to accept it.

Ning Chen patted his shoulder and said solemnly, "You are really good at cooking."

Xie Tingyun: "..."

Xie Tingyun frowned: "But I only have a holiday once every two weeks, and each time is only two days."

Ning Chen then groaned, took the man away, and said nonchalantly: "The rest is your commission."

Xie Tingyun: "..."

Xie Tingyun protested quietly: "You are such a spendthrift. You will go bankrupt if you do this."

Ning Chen raised his hand and pinched Xie Tingyun's cheek, manually telling him to shut up, and said coldly, "Shut up."

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Tingyun lowered his head and whispered, "Thank you."

Ning Chen suddenly became interested. He rubbed Xie Tingyun's head and said, "You're welcome. I want to ask you, do I have the final say in this family?"

Xie Tingyun didn't quite understand why he asked this question, after all, the answer to this question was obvious.

Xie Tingyun nodded.

Then Ning Chen said, "Well, I'm going to make a house rule now. You're not allowed to say thank you at home. Is that okay?"

Xie Tingyun was stunned for a moment, then confirmed: "...Is it not possible to just say thank you?"

Ning Chen nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, no."

Xie Tingyun looked at him hesitantly for a few seconds, and couldn't help but whispered, "So domineering."

Ning Chen stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of him: "The second rule of the house is that you are not allowed to say that I am overbearing."

Xie Tingyun: "..."

When Xie Tingyun was at home, there would never be clothes or socks flying around the house. When the trash can was full, Ning Chen would not even have time to empty it. By the time he went to the living room to get a glass of water, the trash can would have been emptied by itself.

Ning Chen thinks that when he is alone at home, his house will not be messy. He just has a small habit of placing things in random places, which is not a big deal.

However, in comparison with Xie Tingyun, Ning Shenwuxing actually felt a little embarrassed.

As a result, many more rules were added to the family rules:

You are not allowed to finish your housework without saying a word.

You are not allowed to hide in a corner and act like a invisible person when eating.

I have to sleep for eight hours when I go home on weekends...unless I have too much homework to finish.

The weekly spending on yourself must not be less than 300 yuan. You must take photos of your three meals a day at school and send them to him for inspection. If he finds out that you spend less than 10 yuan per meal, you are doomed (ps breakfast must not be less than 5 yuan)

Don't say I'm a spendthrift.

Don't say that I'm a loser with too much money and nowhere to spend it.

Ning Chen had caught the wave of a hot industry and made enough money to live a worry-free life for the rest of his life. He had originally wanted to live a completely carefree life, but now he had a child to raise.

Although Ning Chen knew that this was not his obligation, Ting Yun had mentioned it to him many times, intentionally or unintentionally, that he was already an adult and could work part-time during the holidays to earn a living. He would have three months of summer vacation after the college entrance examination, which was enough to pay for his tuition.

Then Ning Chen slapped him on the back. From then on, Xie Tingyun never dared to mention this matter in front of Ning Chen again.

Ning Chen did not say it explicitly, but he did express clear and extremely strong opposition to Xie Tingyun's part-time job.

The high school Xie Tingyun attended was quite strict and students were not allowed to leave the school on weekdays. Xie Tingyun had no choice but to sneak out to work part-time during holidays and then tell Ning Chen that he was going to play at a classmate's house for half a day before going home.

Ning Shenyi didn't believe it at all. He asked for the location on the phone, and then went over to bring the man back and scolded him.

Xie Tingyun had never seen Ning Chen angry before, but this time he did. He let Ning Chen scold him for half an hour with a groan. Then, when Ning Chen repeatedly emphasized for the umpteenth time that studying was not more important than washing dishes, what should you do if your grades drop because of your part-time job?

In front of Ning Chen, he took out the mock exam paper that he had just taken this week.

The lowest score was 93.

Ning Chen choked: "..."

In the dead silence, Xie Tingyun raised his head, stretched out his hands to him, and whispered, "Hug?"

Ning Chen: “…”

Was this child sent by God to bring bad luck to him? !
