"Yes, I was rebellious since I was little. I met a lot of kids there. Every time I got out of tutoring, I would sneak over there to play. That was probably the happiest time for me."
Xu Manxing recalled the past, with nostalgia flashing in his eyes.
She thought Rong Yuanhe was curious after seeing the photo, so she told the story without thinking too much.
"Look at this photo, isn't it very different from me?"
She took the photo off and handed it to Rong Yuanhe and continued.
"I used to really resist the ladylike status they gave me. I had to be careful about everything I said and did. It annoyed me so much that I ended up using the money I secretly saved to buy men's clothes, put on a wig, and hung out with the kids from the neighborhood every day."
"But one day I was discovered. My mom and grandma were so mad when they saw me dressed like that. Not only did they beat me for the first time, they also locked me up at home for a long time."
Speaking of this, Xu Manxing seemed to recall the disappointed looks of her mother and grandmother, who were already hitting her palms with a ruler, causing pain.
"I was so frightened that I developed a high fever. When I woke up, I forgot a lot of things. I only remember the photo album I secretly hid now thanks to the forest where I went for driving practice last time."
She had learned her lesson after that day. Although she had bodyguards around her, she still found a way to get rid of them and secretly buried her childhood memories there.
She also heard the rumors about the statue from there. That day, she knelt there for a long time, praying that the goddess would fulfill her wish...
Xu Manxing said it easily, not knowing how much impact her words had on Rong Yuanhe.
No wonder Xu Manxing has no feelings about his name.
It turned out that she had long forgotten his name.
Rong Yuanhe stared absentmindedly at Xu Manxing who was still flipping through the photo album.
He always thought that Pu Ye was the only one who supported, believed in and encouraged him.
But he himself had forgotten those brief few days of communication.
He also had some depressing things in the orphanage. In order to avoid being discovered by Pu Ye, he would sometimes sneak away to a nearby park in the evening to relax.
After a few visits, I thought I had met Xu Manxing, but unfortunately, Xu Manxing disappeared after a few days. He grew a lot later and gradually forgot that memory.
In fact, the contact with Xu Manxing during those days gave him no less motivation than Pu Ye.
But he never expected that the little boy he had always thought of would be Xu Manxing.
Rong Yuanhe looked at the bright smiles of the two people in the photo and couldn't help feeling upset that he had forgotten that memory.
"Okay, thank you for today, otherwise I wouldn't dare to go in. Now I'll have to trouble you one last thing, take me to Chaoyang Road, please~"
I don’t know if it’s because of the alcohol, or because I’ve resolved my worries.
Xu Manxing talked much more than usual.
Although she didn't remember the child's name after flipping through the pages, she was sure that she was Xu Manxing because of these memories.
But halfway through, he traveled to another world and experienced a free life.
Rong Yuanhe looked at Xu Manxing who closed the photo album, and hid the photos in his hand with his own thoughts.
"Let's go."
After he finished speaking, he took the lead and left.
After sending the person to Hao Rong Yuanhe, he found that this area seemed familiar.
This is where we had barbecue last time.
He had some idea of what Xu Manxing wanted to do, and if he did, he might choose to leave.
But... he thought of the photos he had hidden.
Finally chose to get off.
"Hey? Why are you still coming down?"
Xu Manxing looked at Rong Yuanhe who was following beside him with some confusion.
"I see you're in a bad mood today, so I'll walk with you."
"Haha, you're actually so nice to someone other than Pu Ye?"
She looked at the considerate Rong Yuanhe, and although she teased him, she did not drive him away.
"Drink?"
She had planned to go to a barbecue stall to eat some barbecue, but after getting off the car she realized that she was dressed too gorgeously.
Although she didn't care about the eyes of people around her, she was afraid that if she dressed too brightly, she would become a hot topic and be seen by Xu's mother.
At that time she was not as free as she is now.
She just picked up two bottles from a roadside fruit wine stall.
Rong Yuanhe looked at Xu Manxing who was blinking her bright eyes at him and took it without refusing.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. Since you've helped me so much, I'll treat you to a bottle of wine."
She took out some change from her bag, handed it to the vendor, and quickly left with Rong Yuanhe along a deserted sidewalk.
"Tiantian, the male and female protagonists of the novel have come into reality!"
The juice seller looked at the two people who looked so well-matched that she couldn't help but secretly take a photo of their backs and called her bestie to share it.
"Oh wow! I can tell they're a handsome guy and a beautiful girl just by looking at their backs. Tell me how they look?"
Her bestie couldn't help but giggle at the harmonious atmosphere, figures, and clothes.
"That must be absolutely beautiful! It's so beautiful that it would make even humans and gods infuriate you!"
"And they both look like rich people to me. It must be because the boss couldn't refuse his wife that he came to my stall to buy things."
The two of them became more and more excited as they talked.
In the end, this atmospheric photo was circulated, but because it was a photo of the back, it did not attract the attention of Xu's mother.
Xu Manxing herself didn't even know that she was being photographed that night.
That night she and Rong Yuanhe walked along the street drinking fruit wine.
Under the dim street lights, neither of them communicated with each other, but remained silent.
But Xu Manxing really enjoyed that feeling.
After drinking, Rong Yuanhe sent her back to the villa, ending their unexpected time alone.
"Just like that?"
Xu Yiran woke Xu Manxing up early in the morning and asked him for a long time, but it was just this simple thing. He didn't know whether he was disappointed or relieved.
