mad dog and loyal dog

【22】

Zhang Ting glanced at Xia Ming's outstretched hand, and his next move was to put his hand directly into his trouser pocket, and turned around to leave first, "Let's go, how old is he, and I need someone to hold him."

Seeing that he refused so simply, Xia Ming's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his mood instantly fell to the bottom.It was normal for Zhang Ting to refuse, and he subconsciously felt that Zhang Ting would refuse.Not knowing why he would be unhappy because of such a trivial matter, Xia Ming kept his composure, stood up and chased after Zhang Ting.He felt that Zhang Ting's figure was much smaller than before. He used to think that Zhang Ting was tall, but now he is taller than Zhang Ting, and he can look down on Zhang Ting, "Zhang Ting, hold me." He didn't know where he came from The courage to say this, "Take me." He repeated it again, like a child who is too persistent.

However, as expected, he got an extremely impatient roll of eyes from Zhang Ting. He seriously thought about whether to respond to Xia Ming, after all, Xia Ming looked like he wanted to cry.But if this meeting is dragged, wouldn't that be too conniving to Xia Ming?He spent the whole night with Xia Ming in bed sheets last night, and even accompanied him to the orphanage, and now he still needs to hold hands, "Don't push yourself too hard." Zhang Ting warned in a low voice, "Let's go, you go talk to your dean call."

Xia Ming pursed his lips, not quite reconciled, he stretched out his hand again.Zhang Ting stared at his hand for a while, then stretched out his hand and patted Xia Ming's palm lightly, "That's enough, stop making trouble."

Don't make trouble again.

Xia Ming withdrew his hand, he didn't feel too embarrassed, it was just a little frustrated. "...Then I'll go and tell my mother that I'm leaving, you wait here for me."

"it is good."

When Xia Ming bid farewell, he also received a series of dried squid, dried oysters and other dried goods from the dean, all of which were dried by the dean himself.The dean can be regarded as half of Xia Ming's parents, and he also has feelings for the "mother" Xia Ming has called for so many years.When saying goodbye, I still stretched my waist and stood on tiptoe, tried my best to make myself taller, but I could only pat Xia Ming on the shoulder, "Come often, send me more messages, I am very worried about you... Ming Ming, this is also your home."

So Zhang Ting was not the only one who gave it to his family.Xia Ming's nose suddenly turned acidic, he nodded and said goodbye, he turned around very quickly.I was afraid that I would cry because of this warmth, Zhang Ting was too cold, like an iceberg that would never melt.But he actually wanted to find warmth from Zhang Ting, and wanted to get love from Zhang Ting.

Xia Ming came out with two bags of things, and saw Zhang Ting squatting down and joking with that little kid. He was holding the kid's hand, as if to say when he would come next time.When the child saw Xia Ming walking in, he let go of Zhang Ting's hand and ran away. He even bravely yelled at Zhang Ting, "Then tell me, you must come and play with us at the beginning of next month!"

"Okay, definitely come." Zhang Ting agreed, and waved to the child with a smile.

Xia Ming walked over with a sullen face, "Must you come?"

"Well, that kid is pretty cute. I promise to bring him some snacks next time." Seeing that he was carrying two bags of things, Zhang Ting didn't intend to help.He still walked ahead, with his hands in his coat pockets, looking idly by. "To be honest, I really like children. The kind that are obedient and not mischievous are the cutest." He said casually.

But Xia Ming remembered it in his heart, "Then you don't think I'm cute anymore?"

After Zhang Ting heard his words, he looked at him as if he had seen a ghost, "How old are you? You are about 1.9 meters tall, how cute are you?" Zhang Ting still disliked him, "You are not a child, you are so cute. Fart." Especially the burly and perfect figure, it's not cute at all.

After Xia Ming heard this, he became even more unhappy, and Zhang Ting often refused to make appointments with him, and he never promised him 'for sure'.Why is it that a child can get Zhang Ting's promise and hold Zhang Ting's hand.He was a little sour, he was actually jealous with a child.

Xia Ming will be extremely depressed, and his pace will be slower.Their orphanage is very remote, on the middle of the mountain.Now that there are few street lights at night, their car is parked behind the orphanage and they have to walk a short distance through the woods.But the street lamp there was still broken, flickering, and the light emitted was too weak.Zhang Ting had already passed by, but Xia Ming didn't. Xia Ming was carrying two bags of things, and felt that he was panicking just this short distance.

He is afraid of the dark, no one leads him, no one walks in front of him, he does not have a flashlight, he dare not go.

"Zhang Ting—!" He shouted, the place was empty, and there was an echo.

Zhang Ting naturally heard it, "Come here quickly, what are you talking about?" Zhang Ting was already standing by the car.

Xia Ming's heart sank. He is in his 20s this year, and he is about 1.9 meters tall. If others knew that he was so big and afraid of the dark, he would probably laugh so hard.Xia Ming just stood here where there were lights and looked at that section of the path, and he felt panicked in his heart.He switched hands, holding both bags in one hand, and he needed a flashlight on his phone.

But it will be a bit embarrassing, the phone seems to be stuck in the pocket and I can't get it out.I can only put the things down first, but Zhang Ting keeps urging, "Why don't you come over here, what's the matter?"

Just when Xia Ming was in a hurry, the dean hurried up from behind. She was not walking fast, but her pace was very anxious.She held a flashlight in her hand, "Mingming—" she called out, and she was relieved when she saw Xia Ming's figure.She picked up a bag of things on the ground, and took Xia Ming with one hand, "I forgot that the light here is broken. It has been broken for several months. If you don't see it, you will be afraid. I'll take you away." Xia Ming acted like a child, holding Xia Ming who was 1.9 meters tall, he didn't feel any sense of disobedience.She is already old, her waist can't stand straight anymore, her head is covered with white hair, but she still treats Xia Ming like a child.She is the most worried child.

Xia Ming was autistic when he was a child, and after finally recovering from it, he was adopted by a pair of bad parents and abused, and he has cast a lot of shadows since then.The dean naturally saw it, and he felt distressed and blamed himself all the time.During the years when Xia Ming and Zhang Ting left, she thought about him all the time, but after she couldn't contact Xia Ming, she went to look for him herself, but she couldn't find him.So it's great to be able to meet Xia Ming now. Xia Ming doesn't have parents, so she will take on this responsibility.

She is the only child in her hands who was sent out to be abused. She has been sad for more than ten years, and she is still blaming herself.So he took Xia Ming and brought him to Zhang Ting with his own hands.She looked at Zhang Ting with a condemning look, as if she was dissatisfied with him leaving Xia Ming alone and leaving first, "He is afraid of the dark, and he can't hold the flashlight with things in his hand, so you can't wait for him next time. "The tone of her words was not a little bit kind, instead of the previous style, it was even a little harsh.

Zhang Ting was choked up by her tone, Xia Ming was afraid of the dark, he seemed to know such a thing.But he didn't take it seriously, he knew before that Xia Ming was afraid of the dark, and even locked him in the toilet to scare him.

"...Okay." Zhang Ting blinked, and he didn't seem to be apologetic, but he still assured the dean, "I see, I will make up my mind next time."

"Take good care of him, please."

"Understood, I will take care of it." Zhang Ting replied, quite sincerely.

After listening to the sweet conversation between the dean and Zhang Ting, Xia Ming didn't realize what they had said until the dean left.The dean is too much like the parent who married him off, worried and worried about him, dissatisfied with Zhang Ting, but dare not say more.And he didn't expect that Zhang Ting would bow his head in front of the dean, and said he would take good care of him.

Xia Ming wanted to laugh a little, Zhang Ting actually gave face so much, he didn't lose his temper even after being scolded.Zhang Ting threw the car keys to Xia Ming, "Driving, you idiot, why are you standing there?"

"Oh." Xia Ming replied, and sat in the driver's seat.

Zhang Ting seemed to be thinking about something while sitting in the co-pilot. The orphanage was a little far from their home, and it would take three to four hours to drive back even if there was no traffic jam.Zhang Ting looked a little sleepy, he yawned, "Hey, are you afraid of the dark?" Zhang Ting asked him suddenly.

"...It's okay." Xia Ming didn't dare to tell the truth, he was afraid that Zhang Ting would laugh at him.

"You're just kidding. Before you were turned off the toilet and turned on the light, you were so scared that you screamed and cried pitifully." Zhang Ting exposed him, but he had always witnessed Xia Ming's growth.

"Then you still bully me."

Zhang Ting chuckled twice, looking out the window, he thought for a long time, as if he had used all his strength to think about this matter.He said to Xia Ming, "I don't know what's so good about falling in love, and I don't intend to fall in love with you wholeheartedly. But... taking care of you is the only thing I can do for you." Zhang Ting also thought I don't understand, he is subconsciously resisting the relationship of 'two people' being together because of love.

But these days, when he opened the door and saw that Xia Ming was at home, he felt an inexplicable sense of security.Even if he was reprimanded by the head of the orphanage who was Xia Ming's elder, he was not angry. "I don't understand either, but I will bully you less in the future." Zhang Ting said to him, "Don't mess with me, I won't beat you, and I won't bully you anymore. I will take care of you and treat you well. "He is eight years older than Xia Ming, he thinks it's natural to take care of Xia Ming, it's nothing.

Xia Ming was silent for a long time without speaking.

When the car reached the intersection and waited for the red light, Zhang Ting stretched out his hand and took Xia Ming's hand while driving, "Be good, baby, I know you're not happy because I held hands with that child and didn't hold hands with you. Just hold hands."

"..." Xia Ming remained silent.

"Why do you look unhappy?" Zhang Ting looked at Xia Ming and asked him seriously, "Are you really unhappy?"

"..."
