dear tiger tooth boy

01

With the end of the final exam and graduation ceremony, Yunho's elementary school career is completely over.And the graduation trip with friends that is being prepared is more like a little bright color for the perfect end of these six years.

Jiang Ning and Zhizhi's final exams also ended smoothly—or not so smoothly for Zhizhi.When the last exam was handed in, the air in the whole school seemed to have turned from a piece of solid ice into a cheerful stream, and the children's hearts were full of songs.

It's a holiday. It's a holiday.It doesn't matter whether it is good or bad in the exam, anyway, the New Year's holiday is indispensable.

Many private cars have already parked at the gate of the school, and parents are standing at the gate waiting for their children who have "returned from battle".

The younger children rushed into their mother's arms, while the older children responded impatiently to the parent's answer of "how did you do in the exam".

The hearts of parents all over the world are like this.Jiang Ning was used to such scenes when she was in China.

But getting used to it doesn't mean she will no longer be lonely.

Especially now, in this country that I don't know how to define.

It can't be called her hometown. Although she can speak the language of this country, she knows almost nothing about it.

But it can't be said to be a foreign country - this is the country where my mother was born and raised, and my body also has blood and genes belonging to this country.

The embarrassment of unfamiliarity and intimacy only adds to the deeper loneliness.

Standing not far away, smiling and telling the children after class to run slowly, is someone else's mother.

Jiang Ning suddenly thought, if her mother were here, she would definitely be prettier than each of their mothers.

In Jiang Ning's memory, her mother was a very, very beautiful woman.

A beautiful woman can be mysterious, and she deserves to be forgiven for making mistakes.

Jiang Ning is too young to know anything yet.

She didn't know why her mother left her, she didn't know why her grandmother didn't even want to tell her her mother's name, she didn't know that she had no worries about food and clothing, and the emotion in her heart was called the deepest loneliness and sorrow.

But she seems to understand many things without a teacher.

She understands that no one will give her answers to these things she doesn't know.

There will be no response, and naturally there is no need to ask.

But, even so, she still couldn't help thinking about it when she was little.

If my mother is here, she must be prettier than everyone's mother, right?

"Jiang Ning! Here, here, hurry up!"

The dazed Jiang Ning was awakened by a burst of enthusiasm.She looked forward to the right, and Zhizhi was happily waving at her.

Standing next to Wisdom are Yunho, Cho Seungbin, and... grandma?

Jiang Ning walked over without knowing why: "Grandma, why are you here?"

Grandma smiled and held up a big bag of food: "I want to celebrate the exam today."

Jiang Ning's eyes lit up all of a sudden: "Ah, this is it!"

The wise eyes around her were brighter than Jiang Ning, and she almost rushed to answer and raised another big bag: "Chinese food is delicious! Grandma and brother went to Chinatown to buy it!"

Wisdom and the others had always called Jiang Ning's grandma the neighbor's grandma, but since they got acquainted with Jiang Ning, they began to call her grandma after her.

Jiang Ning went to see Yunhao and Zhao Chengbin.The two boys shook the things in their hands triumphantly.

Whoa!So much to eat!

The little sentimentality in Jiang Ning's heart just now was washed away in an instant.

"You're so slow, I'm so hungry. Dad is on a business trip, and my mother took the school's orchestra to perform outside. I thought I could only go back to eat the instant noodles cooked by my brother after the exam today!"

"The instant noodles I cook are also delicious!" Yunho said, "Who used to beg me to let me cook them!"

"Hee hee, it's different." Wisdom said with a smile, "In the past, grandma could only eat it during Chinese New Year... Oh no, grandma, the Chinese food I cook, I didn't expect to be able to eat it now!"

It was the first time Jiang Ning heard that her grandma could cook Chinese food.

On weekdays, grandma is no different from other Korean old ladies, she never leaves kimchi, which makes Jiang Ning despair.Even if Jiang Ning's bad appetite has become obvious, she can at most buy more beef, or make some kimchi cakes and rice sausages in different ways.Jiang Ning never knew that she could cook authentic Chinese food.

After a long time, Jiang Ning found out that her grandmother had worked in Korean Chinese restaurants for decades.And his mother was his father whom he met there.Because his late father was the son of the Chinese restaurant owner.

While grandma was busy in the kitchen, the children sat in the living room watching TV and chatting.

The comedians on TV are doing their best.Jiang Ning didn't care to appreciate it.

The reason for not cooking Chinese food is not because it costs money.The beef my grandma bought is not cheap at all.

Wisdom suddenly asked: "Jiang Ning, is grandma actually Chinese?"

Jiang Ning was taken aback: "Huh? I... I don't know, it should be Korean."

do not know?

Zhizhi obviously didn't expect Jiang Ning to answer this way.She looked at Yunhao and Zhao Chengbin in some confusion, then turned to Jiang Ning and wanted to ask something: "But..."

"It's normal not to know about the elders." Zhao Chengbin interrupted suddenly, "It's like I don't know that my father and my mother were drinking with others at that dinner party again! I was left alone and cheeky Waiting for food at other people's homes."

"Hahahahahaha," Zhizhi's attention was indeed attracted by Zhao Chengbin, and she laughed loudly, "Brother Chengbin, you also know that you are thick-skinned."

Jiang Ning glanced at Zhao Chengbin and smiled gratefully at him.

Zhao Chengbin raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, and blinked exaggeratedly at Jiang Ning.

"Crack!" Yunho suddenly reached out and patted Zhao Chengbin's head.

Although he was familiar with this place, Zhao Chengbin was still baffled by Yunhao's blow: "Hey, brat, why did you hit me?"

Yunho clapped his hands nonchalantly: "It's nothing, just check if your scalp is as thick as your face."

"Hahahahaha." Wisdom laughed instantly and fell to the ground, "Brother, you can be a comedian on TV hahahaha."

Jiang Ning also laughed.But the second she met Yunhao's gaze, she suddenly understood why Yunhao slapped Zhao Chengbin on the head.

Jiang Ning's face turned red again.

The graduation trip is coming soon, but Yunho suddenly can't talk to Zhao Chengbin.

Yunho has always been a person who pays attention to promises, so it is obviously not in his character to break an appointment like this.Zhao Chengbin pressed Yunho a few times, but he just kept saying sorry and didn't explain the reason.

Zhao Chengbin has never seen such a mother-in-law as Zheng Yunhao.

"Then there is only one possibility." Zhao Chengbin knocked on Jiang Ning's door, "Jiang Ning, what did you do to Yunhao?"

"What?" Jiang Ning, who just opened the door, was at a loss. What is this senior Zhao Chengbin doing so early in the morning?

"I've been thinking about it all night, and this is the only possibility." Zhao Chengbin said seriously, "Jiang Ning, did Yunho confess to you?"

"what?"

"And you turned him down?"

"Ah? What..."

"Why did you reject him?"

"I……"

"You don't need to explain, let me tell you." Zhao Chengbin suddenly grabbed Jiang Ning's hand, "Actually, you like me, right...ah, it hurts... Jiang Ning why did you hit me..."

Jiang Ning blew the gunpowder smoke that didn't exist in her hand like a female gunman: "Because Senior Zhao, you are in a trance early in the morning or you haven't woken up yet. I'll let you wake up."

This Zhao senior, when I first met him, I thought he was handsome and rich, and he was designed by a nobleman, but it turned out to be a complete joke.

Zhao Chengbin rubbed his head: "I'm just kidding you... But, Yunho really didn't confess his love to you."

"Hush!" Jiang Ning glanced nervously into the room, and pushed Zhao Chengbin away, "Don't keep talking nonsense, my grandma is in the room."

Really, early in the morning, she kept talking about Yunho confessing his love to her, and her face was going to have a fever again.

Jiang Ning looked at Zhao Chengbin: "You stand here and don't move. I'll get a coat, and I'll follow you to find Senior Yunhao right away."

This person can't stay here, and it's hard to explain the nonsense that grandma heard him.Or follow him as soon as possible, and invite this Bodhisattva away.

Zhao Chengbin poked his head into the room: "Ah, it's so cold, don't you feel guilty for not inviting your senior into the room for a drink?"

Jiang Ning smirked at Zhao Chengbin indifferently, and closed the door ruthlessly: "No."

When the door opened, Jiang Ning saw a slightly tired Yunhao.

Yunho was a little surprised to see Jiang Ning. "Why do you..." After seeing Zhao Chengbin behind him, he instantly understood, "Chengbin, why did you bring Jiang Ning here?"

Jiang Ning noticed a trace of complaint in Yunhao's tone.Obviously, he didn't want Jiang Ning to see that he was unhappy now.

Zhao Chengbin would not be frightened by the little dissatisfaction in Yunhao's tone, he naturally pushed the half-closed door open, and walked into Yunhao's room with ease: "I thought you were confessing your love and being rejected by Jiang Ning She refused to go on a graduation trip with us because she was in a bad mood, so I asked her to confirm."

Jiang Ning was standing at the door of Yunhao's room with some hesitation. Hearing Zhao Chengbin continue to say such words nonchalantly, she didn't know whether to advance or retreat.

Although there is no such thing as a "boudoir" in the boy's room, it is Jung Yunho's room after all.Jiang Ning had inexplicable expectations and nervousness, and was embarrassed by her expectations and nervousness.

Yunho was already used to Zhao Chengbin's nonsense, he said flatly: "How could this happen."

How can this happen?What's the meaning?

Does it mean that it is impossible for him to confess his love to Jiang Ning?Or is it impossible for him, Zheng Yunhao, to be rejected?

No matter what kind of understanding, it sounds a little arrogant.

Jiang Ning was still pondering this sentence in her heart, and Yunhao who was following behind had naturally supported her shoulders, and said softly, "Go into the house."

Yunho's voice came from the top of his head, and it seemed so gentle again at this time.

Jiang Ning sat down beside Zhao Chengbin in silence.

Zhao Chengbin crossed his legs and pretended to be a judge: "Okay, tell me the truth, why don't you want to go on a graduation trip?"

Yunho looked at Zhao Chengbin, then at Jiang Ning, and sighed softly.

"Because I need to confirm one thing, otherwise I can't go out to play."

Zhao Chengbin started messing around again: "Confirm? That is to say, you haven't confessed yet? Well, choosing a date is worse than bumping into the sun, so just confess now. Do you need me to avoid it?"

Jiang Ning just wanted to sew up Zhao Chengbin's mouth with a needle.

Today Yunho is not in the mood to argue with Cho Seungbin at all.He looked at Jiang Ning, then looked away, and said faintly: "I suspect that my father has cheated."
