dear tiger tooth boy

01

Probably because each year is divided into two semesters, and each semester is divided into dozens of short weeks, the time of being a student always slips away quickly.

The courses in the upper grades have become a little difficult, but Jiang Ning has a solid foundation, so she doesn't have to worry about mathematics and English.After several semesters, the language gap with Korean natives is gradually narrowing.

Classes five days a week.In the activity class every Wednesday, I press the playground with Yunhao, Zhizhi, and Zhao Chengbin.Every evening, I finish my homework in the classroom, and then go home with Yunho who has finished dancing after school.On weekends, I will watch the latest dramas and animations with Zhizhi, visit jewelry stores, and gather at Jiang Ning’s house to eat meals cooked by my grandmother.Jiang Ning is now also trying to cook.She has a talent for cooking, although it occasionally leads to taste bud tragedies like salt being mistook MSG.

Playing around with friends, slowly learning about popular things, I started to fall in love with eating desserts like many little girls, and I started to paste full body photos of long-legged brothers in my notebook.

Every day, every week, every month seems to be in a dull cycle, but Jiang Ning doesn't feel monotonous at all.

Jiang Ning was always in a state of inexplicable panic because of her father who had been busy working in other places and died early, and her mother who was seriously absent from life.

The children's feelings are intense and straightforward. Little girls always like to get together and speak ill of others. Jiang Ning doesn't like that, so she didn't make any friends in China at that time.

But now, after school, I can sit with a few friends at a stall on the side of the road, eating spicy rice cakes and hot stewed rice cakes, while sharing fun stories about school.Jiang Ning really felt very happy.

Of course, life is not all smooth sailing.

Ding Caijing still sends a small sum of money every two months.The family also often receives anonymous gifts, and you don't have to think about who sent them.

The money is still kept by grandma, and most of it is still kept intact.The gift Jiang Ning sent was not thrown away, but she was not in a hurry to open it.When the rooms couldn't be piled up, she took them apart one by one, took a brief look at them, and took a chance to send them to the local orphanage.

They're all beautiful dolls and things that girls like.Jiang Ning actually likes it too.

However, such a large number of presents are given in vain precisely because Ding Caijing is not sure what her daughter likes.

She doesn't know anything about me.Jiang Ning thought sadly, with a sadness that didn't match her age.

And now Jiang Ning is not ignorant of Ding Caijing.

After buying a computer at home, the first thing Jiang Ning did was to search for "Ding Caijing".

She knew that her curiosity would inevitably cause her pain, but she still couldn't help being curious.

Everything can be found.Birth date, height and weight, awards won, past rumored objects, favorite food...

Sure enough, the whole world knew his mother.Except myself.

Regarding Ding Caijing's first marriage, more than ten years have passed, and with the use of public relations methods, there is not much information that can be found on the Internet.

Just like what Jiang Ning had heard from Wen Genying, the reports she could find only mentioned her flash marriage and divorce.

"There was a period of immature and ridiculous years." These are the original words of Ding Caijing in the interview.

immature.ridiculous.

Jiang Ning stared at these words silently.

I was originally a product of absurdity.

Little is known about what happened to this big star during the "ridiculous years" of the three years in China.After the divorce, Ding Caijing went directly to the United States and completely disappeared from the public's sight.

Ding Caijing appeared in the public eye again, on the stage of drama and stage play.

The Korean entertainment circle is updated very fast, and the "national goblin" has changed for several generations.

The reappearance of Dante's colorful mirror still triggered a small upsurge of reports.

Her face is not old, and her acting skills are still superb. Her comeback on the big stage has made many middle-aged people exclaim that their youth has been revived.

The most striking thing is that Miss Ding from back then has once again become someone else's wife.

This time, it was a wealthy Chinese-American businessman who was also the largest shareholder of XXX Entertainment Company.The two have a daughter together.

With an indescribable mood, Jiang Ning entered the words "Ding Caijing's daughter" in the search bar.

The one who appeared was naturally not her Jiang Ning.

The little girl is called Candy.There are very few photos online, it seems that Ding Caijing and his wife are very protective of her.

But from those few high-definition photos, it can still be seen that she inherited her mother's beauty.

"It's so cute." Jiang Ning thought.Sure enough, it is as sweet as Candy.

In the corner of the page, you can see small related searches.

Jiang Ning opened "Ding Caijing's illegitimate daughter" blankly.

"It's nonsense." Ding Caijing replied to the reporter, "My ex-husband and I have no children. I dared to admit that we were married at the time. Is there any need to hide it?"

"I only have one daughter, Candy."

Jiang Ning stopped holding the mouse.

"Clap. Clap." Something dripped onto the keyboard.

Suddenly there was a burst of cheerful footsteps outside the door.Before Jiang Ning had time to react, the door of the study had already been pulled open with a hula.

"Jiang Ning!" It was a wise and clear voice, "Have you thought about it, whether to go to the beach or the amusement park next week... Jiang Ning...you..."

Wisdom froze.

Behind Yunhao and Zhao Chengbin were about to raise their legs to enter the room, and they couldn't help but froze.

Jiang Ning, who turned around, burst into tears.

The 20th century is coming to an end, and Jiang Ning's primary school career is also coming to an end.The world is about to enter the next millennium.

Various New Year's Eve carnivals will be held across Korea.What Yunhao and Jiang Ning are going to attend is a grand fireworks show held by the lake.

In order to grab a good spot, Yunho and his group came to the park where the party was held early to grab a good spot.

A picnic cloth was laid out on the grass, and Wisdom was taking snacks out of the bag in the same way: "It's great, it's perfect to welcome the new millennium with Jiang Ning."

"Ah, Wisdom, give me a can of juice, I'm thirsty." A rude female voice suddenly came from my ear.

Wisdom frowned, took out a can and threw it to Zhao Enfei, and muttered in a low voice: "If she doesn't come, it will be perfect."

Zhao Enfei also frowned: "I don't drink grapes."

Wisdom ignored Zhao Enfei.

Zhao Enfei raised the volume: "Wisdom, I'm talking to you! You don't have ears!"

Wisdom turned around: "You obviously have it in the bag at hand! Didn't you bring it with you!"

Zhao Enfei was dissatisfied: "oppa! Look at her!"

Not to be outdone, Wisdom shouted: "Oppa! Look at her!"

Zhao Chengbin covered his eyes with a handkerchief, lay on the grass and pretended to be dead: "Yunho, someone is calling you!"

Wisdom squinted at Zhao Chengbin: "My brother has already left." Otherwise, Zhao Enfei wouldn't be so bossy talking to Zhihui.

"Oh..." Zhao Chengbin responded casually, "Where did he die?"

Wisdom said: "It should be to find Jiang Ning. Didn't Jiang Ning just say to go for a walk in this park, it's been a long time."

"That's right, maybe, the two of you are walking hand in hand sweetly now." Zhao Enfei said sourly.

Zhao Chengbin sat up with a "whoosh", but the handkerchief over his eyes was hanging lightly on his mouth.

Zhao Enfei smiled: "Why, oppa is in a hurry?"

Zhao Chengbin hesitated for a moment, then lay down again, and said in a lazy tone, "You should be more anxious than me, right?"

Zhao Enfei took out a can of peach-flavored soda from the bag beside her, shook her head with a smile and said, "No, Yunho oppa is nothing more than grape juice to me."

Zhao Chengbin put the handkerchief over his eyes again: "What kind of grape juice, Yunho should be white water for you." Although you don't like it, you really want it, just like wanting some insurance.

Zhao Enfei raised her eyebrows: "Whatever you say."

Wisdom was dissatisfied and said: "Don't say it casually. Yunhao's own sister is still panting."

Cho Seung-bin laughed loudly: "Wisdom, you are so cute. I really envy Yunho for having such a cute little sister."

Zhao Enfei snorted: "I also envy Zhizhi for having a good brother."

"So, did you really cry like that that day because you watched anime?"

Jiang Ning was sitting on the big rock by the lake in a daze, when she heard a voice in her ear, she turned her head in surprise.

"Yunhao, what are you doing here..."

As soon as Jiang Ning said it, she found that this question was a bit strange. Everyone came to the park together to wait for the fireworks show.

"Why, you are now remembering... Roosevelt, just like my grandfather?"

"What Roosevelt?" Jiang Ning was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Fool, it's the dead like a husband."

Yunho sat down beside her: "Is the person who will cry like that because of an anime is a fool?"

The smile on Jiang Ning's face stopped.She turned her head and didn't look at Yunhao, and continued to stare at the vast mist in a daze.

Yunho didn't speak, just watched the lake quietly with Jiang Ning.

"I didn't cry because of the anime," Jiang Ning said.She lied to Wisdom at the time, but when facing Yunho alone, she didn't want to lie.

Although she was not ready to tell the truth.

"I know." Yunho said.

"Yeah." Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

Then the two of them stared at the lake in silence.

As dusk fell, the lake was shimmering with golden light, and several couples cuddled up to each other and took a leisurely walk by the lake.

Jiang Ning looked at a group of old couples who were supporting each other and pacing slowly not far away, and said quietly: "There is also a lake beside my grandparents' village, although it is not as big as this. Sometimes I feel a little unhappy At that time, I will stare at the lake in a daze, and my mood will be much calmer."

Yunho teased her deliberately and said, "Ah, at such a young age, you really like the mood of 'wretched and sad'."

Jiang Ning really smiled: "This sentence is not wrong, I didn't say 'out of breath' like last time, otherwise Li Qingzhao would have been pissed off by you."

Yunho looked at Jiang Ning: "That's right, just smile like this."

"Eh?"

Yunhao shifted his eyes to the lake: "You are really, really ugly when you cry, it has nothing to do with the sister Lin you told me, it's more like the...that...Liu what you said?"

Jiang Ning tilted her head: "Grandma Liu?"

Yunho was serious: "I didn't say it, you said it yourself."

Jiang Ning punched Yun Hao with a smile: "I'm looking for death."

Yunho also laughed.

The dark lake water was especially gentle in the eyes of the two children.

"Just tell me that." Yunho said suddenly.

"Huh? What?"

"Your affairs." Yunho replied softly, "The lake next to your grandparents' village, the puppy you raised at home, the boy you thought was good-looking in kindergarten. Anything else about you. "

Yunho looked at Jiang Ning: "Just like today, when you want to talk, tell me slowly."

Jiang Ning looked at Yunhao silently.Her eyelashes were trembling slightly.

Yunho smiled at Jiang Ning, and looked at the lake again.

Jiang Ning also silently turned her gaze back to the lake.

After a long time, the boy heard the girl's soft but firm answer.

"okay."
