In the beginning, the conditions of the orphanage were not good, even bad. Coupled with the serious corruption in the relevant departments, more than half of the funds received by the orphanage were often withheld. It was difficult to even operate normally. Waiting for the child's target, it can be said that Xi'er's life in the orphanage should have been a painful memory.

But the fact is just the opposite. The time in the Cocolia Orphanage was the most precious and warmest time Xier spent in her life.

All this is because of the sudden appearance of a certain man.

Xi'er still clearly remembers every detail of the day the man appeared.

It was an ordinary afternoon, when everyone in the orphanage was hungry due to lack of funds, Cocolia, the dean, suddenly came back with a man.

"I didn't expect that there are so many cute little girls in the orphanage. Lori is a treasure in the world. Cocolia, I don't agree with you to use these cute little girls to do dangerous experiments."

Xi'er remembered that when a man spoke, there was always an unruly smile on the corner of his mouth, unrestrained and unrestrained like the wind, but it was unpredictable on the man's young face. The vicissitudes of the eyes of a wise old man who is prosperous in the world.

"I can't help it either!"

Cocolia, who always looks like a gentle and patient big sister in front of the children in the orphanage, is extremely irritable in front of men.

"Do you think that I let these children participate in the X-10 experiment just for the funds of the orphanage? Ye Ming, you must know that although these children in the orphanage have antibodies against Houkai, there is a limit to their resistance. If this continues , Their bodies will be destroyed by the ever-changing Houkai energy sooner or later, I let the children participate in the experiment, and I also want to find a way to make the children's bodies adapt to the Houkai energy, so that these children can survive!"

Cocolia, who said this, had a fierce look on her face, but her eyes were extremely painful: "This is the only way I can think of. In this cruel world, only such a sacrifice can make the orphanage The children survived, but once the experiment starts, the news that these children have stigmata will definitely not be concealed. There will definitely be organizations that want to peek at the stigmata to attack the children, so, Ye Ming, I would like to ask You, help me protect these children."

Speaking of this, Cocolia paused, remembering what Liesel had said about this man's lust, hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and promised: "As a reward, I promise, after finding a way to keep the children alive , I will marry you!"

"It doesn't matter if you get married. I already owe a lot to women. I don't want to owe another love debt."

Ye Ming rejected Cocolia's promise to marry without hesitation, "However, it is our duty to protect Lolita's healthy growth. I agree to your request, but I will never allow the experiment."

"Don't worry, I know a lot of friends in Tianming. I will solve the problem of funds. As for the matter of Houkai, I will also find a way. As for you, Cocolia, you can do it according to your own ideas." Work hard, I won't stop you, but I will never allow children from orphanages to participate in human experiments in the future."

"you!"

Cocolia, who was born in the military, was very angry at Ye Ming's tough attitude, "This is my orphanage!"

"No, in view of your dangerous thoughts, this orphanage is now mine."

Ye Ming gave Cocolia a gentle smile back.

The conversation in the living room ended here. After that day, Cocolia left the orphanage and did not return for a long time.This man who appeared suddenly became the new director of the orphanage so logically.

Xi'er remembered that on the first day the man took office as the dean, he had to gather everyone in the orphanage to give a lecture.

However, even though it was a lecture, the man always had a gentle smile on his face, without any airs at all.

"You, that's right, that's you, I'm you, what's your name?"

"Bronya, my name is Bronya Zajcek, uncle."

The little girl who was called by the man looked at the man curiously and replied.

"uncle?"

Hearing this address, the man frowned, walked up to Bronya, who was still a little girl, stared into the little girl's eyes, and said seriously: "Call me brother, I will call you brother in the future, do you understand? Little duck?"

Small duck?

Why did he call Sister Bronya Little Banya?

Seele, who was still young, didn't know why a man gave such a strange nickname to sister Bronya, but Bronya obediently changed the name of the man.

"And what's your name?"

After successfully correcting Bronya's address, the man walked up to another little girl.

"My name is Xing, Xing Maer, Dean."

The little girl replied loudly.

"Call me brother."

The man corrected again, and at the same time, he reached out and pinched Xing's small face: "Such a small girl, don't have such fierce eyes, or she won't be cute."

"Come on, smile a bit, smile cutely, my brother has a reward for you, just reward, um, as long as you smile cute enough, my brother will reward Bronya with a box of birthday cakes."

The reward for Xing, why is it a birthday cake for Sister Bronya?

Xing hates Xier and sister Bronya the most.

At that time, Xi'er, who was still young, didn't understand the man's intentions, but to Xi'er's surprise, after hearing the man's reward, Xing, who has always been fierce, hesitated for a while, and actually called brother, He also gestured with scissors and showed a sweet smile that was a bit awkward.

"It's so cute!"

The man touched Xing's head, then walked up to Xi'er.

"And you, what's your name?"

"Xier, my name is Xier, Xier Fleur."

Xi'er blushed and answered in a low voice, feeling that the man's smile was beautiful, and it seemed completely different from the smiling faces of those people she had seen before.

"Xie'er, that's a nice name."

The man silently spoke to Xi'er's head, "Come on, call for brother, and Xi'er call for brother, and brother will reward everyone in the orphanage with a piece of candy and cake."

The moment the man's voice fell, Xi'er noticed that the eyes of everyone in the orphanage lit up, and Rosalia beside her swallowed involuntarily.

Sweets and cakes are rare luxuries for a budget-strapped orphanage.

Why do we have to call him brother?

Xi'er looked at the man with a gentle smile suspiciously, and always felt that a person with such a beautiful smile should not be a strange person.

However, thinking of candies and cakes, Xier still blushed and called her brother in a low voice.

In the later days, men would often make similar requests, and each request would be followed by rewards. At that time, Xi'er, who was still young, did not understand the man's intentions at first.

Until a long time later, he, who had been isolated by everyone in the orphanage, realized that he had unknowingly become friends with everyone in the orphanage. After they became harmonious, Xi'er understood the man's painstaking efforts.

In short, the man lived in the orphanage just like this, and with the arrival of the man, the shortage of funds in the orphanage also disappeared, and the supplies such as candy, cakes, clothes, toys, and fairy tale books gradually increased. In the turbulent world, the small orphanage, as if isolated from the world, has become a paradise full of laughter.

"At that time, I, sister Bronya, Xing, Rosalia, and Lilia, you often told us stories, such as having a drink with the king of ancient Babylon, being the life mentor of the goddess of the underworld, and human beings. Evil to talk about love or something."

Xier tried hard to recall the warm past with the man in the orphanage.

At that time, Xier, who was still young, didn't understand the meaning of many stories told by men at that time. However, she liked the feeling of leaning on the man's legs and listening to the man's story, and through the man's story , She also saw many colorful worlds.

"Back then, your elder brother, that is, I, was also a general with golden arms and iron horses. He drove away the Roman invaders with the queen of Britain, conquered the great country of Great Britain, and captured the heart of the queen. To be honest, I was very popular, at that time, on the highest peak in Britain, under the starry sky at night, the Queen of Britain confessed to me."

"Skadi, do you know? It's not the C-level master craftsman, but the super cute Miss Killer Whale. To be honest, she and I also experienced an unforgettable adventure."

"Oh, by the way, you don't know who Titi is either."

"Then, does Otto, Bishop of Destiny know? My friend. The Kaslana family of the three major families of Destiny knows, right? The eldest lady of the Kaslana family is also my good friend."

"Ah? You don't know. In this world, they are all powerful figures, the kind who can cover the sky with one hand... Forget it, you just need to know that I have the determination and the ability to protect you."

"So, don't worry about how chaotic the outside world is. As long as I am here, this place will always be your home, a haven for you to grow up and rest. Before I leave, I will definitely arrange everything for you. So, my Little princesses, no matter what the future holds, don't lose the courage to live, and don't forget your smile today."

When he said this, the man's eyes were surprisingly depressed.

Xi'er, who was still young, didn't understand what the man's words meant. She only knew that after that night, the time the man stayed in the orphanage gradually decreased, and the time he spent outside gradually increased.

Then, the number of men who appeared in the orphanage became less and less, and the time they stayed became shorter and shorter. Every time a man appeared, it was like a festival for everyone in the orphanage.

However, even during the time when the man was away, the life in the orphanage was very peaceful, without any disturbance.

As the days passed, the little loli gradually grew into a little girl, and the number of men coming back became less and less, and his expression changed from relaxed at the beginning to hurried to tired, and then, when the man rarely came back That night, after the party ended, Xier, who had grown into a little girl, mustered up the courage to knock on the door of the man's room.

"Brother, why didn't you agree to Aunt Cocolia's marriage proposal?"

"Xie'er, you are still young, you don't understand the feelings of adults."

"Really, Xi'er has grown up, don't keep treating Xi'er like a child, okay?"

Seeing that the man still treats her like a child like a few years ago, Xier is very dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, our Xi'er is already a big girl. In a few years, when I reach the age of marriage, I can marry Bronya. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't see—"

Halfway through the conversation, the man's voice stopped abruptly, he just touched the top of Xi'er's head with a complicated smile on his face.

"Marry sister Bronya? Really, why does my brother keep saying strange things that Xier can't understand. Be careful that no girl likes such a brother."

Speaking of this, Xi'er bit her lip, summoned up her courage and said, "However, who told you to be Xi'er's elder brother? If, if my brother is never liked by girls in the future, when Xi'er grows up a bit, he will Marry brother and be his bride."

"Ha ha!"

Hearing Xier's words, the man laughed out loud, obviously not taking the little girl's words seriously.

Seeing the man's attitude, Xier pouted in dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, the man stroked Xi'er's hair, and said perfunctorily: "Okay, if my brother is really not wanted in the future, I will ask Xi'er."

"You make a statement!"

Xi'er took the opportunity to take out the blue notebook, opened the butterfly clasp on it, took out the pen, and asked the man to sign.

"Okay, sign, sign, I will sign."

The man didn't take it seriously at all, took the pen, and casually wrote his name on the blank title page of the notebook.

The contract is thus concluded.

The next day, the man left the orphanage in a hurry.

Since then, the man has never appeared again.

After the man disappeared, everyone in the orphanage also left the orphanage one after another. Only after leaving the orphanage did Xier know that the man had done so many earth-shattering things during this period of time.

The trip after leaving the orphanage was not smooth, and Xier also encountered a lot of pain and setbacks, but because of the existence of the notebook, she never gave up hope for the future.

At this point in her thoughts, Xi'er hugged the notebook in her hand tightly, and secretly glanced at Ye Ming beside her.

This notebook was originally a birthday present from Ye Ming. Now, in the notebook, not only the contract, but also her childhood memories and longing for the people around her were recorded, and she mustered up the courage to write confession letter.

Originally, she planned to give Ye Ming the notebook as a gift after she found Ye Ming, boldly expressing her heart.

Now, the person she likes is right in front of her, but she doesn't have the courage to give away the notebook.

Why did things turn out this way?

Recalling what Hei Xi and Ye Ming said just now, Xi'er's sad tears flowed down again.

Eh?Why is this girl crying again?

Seeing that Xier started to cry again inexplicably, Ye Ming was completely puzzled.

He raised his head and glanced in Hei Xi's direction over the air-conditioning unit, and found that the girl gave him a please look, and she had no intention of coming over at all.

Good guy, if you are capable of playing immoral games, you are not capable of bearing the consequences and just slip away when something goes wrong, right?

Seeing Hei Xi's attitude, Ye Ming gave Hei Xi a hard look, but in the end he could only look away helplessly, looking at Xi'er who was silently crying, thinking hard about countermeasures.

[Ye Ming, when you were in the Cocolia Orphanage, you already made a marriage contract with Xier. Xier said a long time ago that when you grow up, you will be your bride, and you agree, even if Now that you have lost your memory, you must never ignore your words. 】

At this moment, Hei Xi's words flooded into his mind again, and Ye Ming touched his pocket subconsciously.

In the pocket, there are three wedding rings.

Among the three wedding rings, one of them was chosen by him and Hu Tao. It was supposed to be Hu Tao's wedding ring, but because of too many accidents these days, Ye Ming never had the chance to give the ring to Hu Tao. .

Originally, Ye Ming planned to take advantage of this Monde banquet to find a chance to be alone with Hu Tao, avoiding the sight of other girls, and put the ring on Hu Tao.

As for the other two rings, they were prepared for Ke Qing and Gan Yu.

After all, this Monde banquet can be said to be a rare opportunity. Ye Ming had planned to give away the ring before there were not many girls, so as not to find a suitable time later.

But now...

Ye Ming touched the ring in his pocket, looked at Xi'er who was crying all the time, and took a deep breath.

"Xi'er, are you an adult?"

"Eh?"

Xi'er didn't quite understand why Ye Ming suddenly asked such a question, she hesitated while wiping away her tears, "No, she should be an adult."

Although her body didn't change much, Xier felt that her actual age should be much older including the time she spent in Quantum Sea. ,

Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"Then, Seele, can you hold out your hand? If you can, you'd better close your eyes."

"Eh?"

Xi'er looked at Ye Ming in surprise, after thinking about it, she closed her eyes and stretched out her hands.

Ye Ming took the opportunity to take out the wedding ring from his pocket, grabbed Xier's hand, and put the ring on Xier's ring finger.

This is the second time Ye Ming has given a girl a wedding ring. However, maybe because of the sudden incident, maybe because of Heixi's face, or maybe because of the strong typhoon, Ye Ming is still a little nervous.
