Summer Lemon Hearts

Chapter 23 Little Anning ran away from home (1)
1
Regardless of whether Hetu or I like it or not, the process of Xiao Anning's adoption is still proceeding in an orderly manner.

Early on Sunday morning, foreign friends who wanted to adopt Xiao An Ning came to the orphanage as scheduled.

With the help of me and Le Xiaoxiao, the dean's mother dressed up Xiao An'ing in good spirits early in the morning.Blue down jacket, brand new jeans, the dean's mother dug out all the clothes from the bottom of the New Year's suitcase and put them on for Xiao An Ning.And Gu Yan, who came to the orphanage to be a volunteer, even gave Xiao An Ning his brand new blue and white striped scarf to wear.

The little person who was originally like a jade carving, under the dress of a group of us, is more and more beautiful, handsome and cute.Almost from the first sight, foreign friends fell in love with Xiao An Ning.

After a whole morning of playing and communicating harmoniously with An Ning, the foreign friends made the decision to adopt An Ning.As long as the adoption procedures are completed in the relevant departments, it will be a certainty for Xiao Aning to be adopted.

After seeing off the foreign friends, I found that Xiao An Ning's expression was very calm.There is neither the joy of ordinary children being adopted nor the strong rejection of individual children when they are adopted.

In this regard, he behaved as if he was mature beyond his peers.If you don't look at his appearance, but just look at his reaction, no one will believe that he is still a child who is only 6 years old.

"Squad leader, what should I do? Why do I feel so reluctant to part with Xiao An Ning." Le Xiaoxiao sniffled her nose, pursed her mouth, and looked as if the rain was about to come.

"Little fool, there is no permanent feast in the world. Don't be sad!" Before I could say anything, Gu Yan who was beside me had already reached out and rubbed Le Xiaoxiao's hair. There was affection and pampering in those jade-like black eyes. Looming, "Just think about it, this is a good thing for Xiao An Ning, there is nothing you can't think about."

Uh... It seems that Gu Yan's treatment of Le Xiaoxiao is also a little unusual.

I've known Gu Yan for so many years, but I haven't seen him look at any girl with such eyes!

Maybe, our little girl, Le Xiaoxiao, is so hot with a shaved head...

"Xiao An Ning will go abroad in the future, will she miss Miss Sui Sui?" Le Xiaoxiao's actions made me feel a little sore nose, hugging Xiao An Ning into my arms, I was once again annoyed by my meager strength .

When will I have enough strength to protect the person I want to protect?Only then can I have the ability to keep them all by my side without experiencing the pain of parting?

"Sister Suisui, don't be sad. I will remember you, the dean's mother, my mother Sun, brother Hetu, brother Gu Yan, sister Xiaoxiao, and all my little friends..." It seems that I have noticed my feelings Sad, Xiao An Ning reached out and touched my cheek, her tone was more mature than children of the same age, "Sister Sui Sui remember to tell the friends, don't miss me too much, I will come back one day, back to our orphanage When the time comes, Miss Sui Sui must remember to wait for me here."

"Yeah." I choked up and almost burst into tears, "Sister Suisui won't go anywhere, just wait here for our little An Ning to come back."

"Why don't we take Xiao An Ning to the amusement park today?" Seeing our solemn atmosphere, it seems that even the air is permeated with the sadness of parting, Gu Yan suddenly proposed, but his eyes fell directly on Le Xiaoxiao .

"Okay, okay!" Hearing that she could go to the amusement park with Gu Yan, Le Xiaoxiao almost raised her hands and feet in agreement with Gu Yan's proposal, "Sir, let's go to the amusement park."

"Then what are you waiting for? Take the children from the orphanage, let's go!" I agreed without thinking.

Although I can't grow up with Xiao An Ning, at least I can leave him some beautiful memories, can't I?

So, under Gu Yan's leadership, the children had a great day playing in the amusement park.Especially with the crazy girl Le Xiaoxiao taking the lead, the children were going crazy.

But because of the adoption of Xiao An Ning, I was a little bit down all day.

At night, I lay on the bed after taking a shower, still tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

So, the next day, I went back to school with a big panda eye.

Although I felt uncomfortable, I still solemnly thanked my friends in the class for the donation, but what I got in return was contempt from them.

They said one after another that Ye Suisui is really not suitable for taking the route of a gentle lady, or the route of a domineering female man is suitable for me!
I know they heard about Xiao An Ning's adoption from Hetu, and they knew that I was in a bad mood, so they deliberately tried to comfort me.So he forced a smile on his face, not wanting to worry them.

Looking at He Tu again, it seems that he is also full of preoccupations. Several times our eyes met in class, and we staggered at the same time...

I just absent-mindedly went to class all morning, and when I saw that I could finish school after half a class, my mobile phone rang suddenly.

I looked at the name on the caller ID on the mobile phone, ignored the math teacher's darkened face, and hurriedly connected the call.

"Hey, Dean's mother, what are you talking about? Xiao An Ning is missing!"

2
Little Anning is missing!

The dean's mother's words blew me away like a bolt from the blue.

I hung up the phone and rushed out of the classroom.

The math teacher's roar sounded in the classroom: "Ye Suisui, what are you doing? It's class time, and as the head of class ①, you actually skipped class..."

"Teacher, I'm sorry. I have something very important and I have to leave. If you don't understand, you can punish me as you like when I come back from the business." I know I'm in class now, but I can't care less.

After nodding apologetically to the math teacher, I sprinted out of the room before his next rant began.

After a long corridor, the math teacher's angry growl came again: "Ye Suisui, come back to me! What's wrong! Hey, and you, stop..."

I covered my ears and pretended not to hear his voice.

"Ye Suisui, wait for me. Hey, Ye Suisui..." Faintly, Hetu's familiar voice came from the air.

I thought it was my auditory hallucination, but when I turned around, I saw the figure of Hetu galloping towards him.

Why did this guy run out?
No wonder the math teacher is so angry!

"Hetu..." I frowned, and before I had time to figure out how to persuade him to go back, he had already interrupted my words.

"Ye Suisui, don't say anything, the most important thing is to find Xiao An Ning!"

"But He Tu, I went to Xiao An Ning because he is my younger brother. This is my unshirkable responsibility! Teacher, even if there is blame and punishment, the punishment will not be too severe."

To be honest, I didn't expect Hetu to violate the school rules for Xiao Aning.Although the school spirit of Jincheng School is enlightened and radical, some rules are frighteningly strict.

"But if the two of us skip class together, the situation will be much more serious."

"Xiao An Ning is not just your younger brother, he is also my younger brother." A complicated light flashed in his eyes, Hetu pursed his lips, as if he had made up his mind, and his tone was as firm as a rock, "So this is not just you It's my responsibility, and it's my responsibility."

"That's right, Squad Leader, this is the responsibility of all of us!" The corridor was filled with people at some point.

As I looked around, almost all the students in class one (1) of high school ran out of the classroom.They looked at me with concern, their eyes full of concern.

"Master Squad Leader, let us help you find Xiao An Ning together! There are many people and strength is great, I believe we will find Xiao An Ning soon."

"What are you doing? It's just nonsense!" I suddenly had a headache.

These little ancestors, do you still think things are not messy enough?
"Hurry up and go back to class for me. Do you want us to appear on the school's punishment list tomorrow in class one (1) of high school?"

"Squad leader, don't blame them. This is all my idea." Seeing my dark face, Le Xiaoxiao quickly stood up and said timidly, "Besides, we also explained to the math teacher just now that he has to After knowing that a child was missing, he readily agreed to our request, so we dared to come out."

It's no wonder that the always rigid and pedantic math teacher would readily agree to this kind of authority being ignored!

I can almost imagine the helpless expression of the little old man blowing his beard and staring.

"It still doesn't work." I was actually moved to death in my heart.

Unexpectedly, this group of guys who used to be incompatible with me will one day be able to stab me in the ribs and treat me with sincerity.But when I thought about the seriousness of the matter, I still rejected their request cruelly.

"If you still think of me as the class monitor, you should hurry back to the classroom and go to class. I will find a way to find someone. As long as you take good classes obediently and don't make trouble for me, you will be the greatest help to me. "

Due to my coercion, everyone had no choice but to return to the classroom.Only He Tu seemed unmoved by my threat at all.He didn't even lift an eyelid.

It's really annoying when this person becomes stubborn!
"Hey!" I frowned while walking, and gave him a dry look, "It seems that I, the class monitor, don't have much authority in your eyes, student Hetu."

"Absolutely nothing." Hetu shrugged his shoulders, with a look of reluctance, "Believe me, sir, bringing me with you will definitely help you find someone."

He spoke very firmly, and I really didn't have time to toss with him, so I snorted coldly and quickened my pace.

Seeing that I acquiesced in his existence, He Tu hurriedly followed behind me step by step, and asked as he walked, "Okay, why did Xiao An Ning disappear?"

"To be exact, this nasty brat ran away from home." Speaking of this question, I felt a headache, rubbed the center of my brows, and sighed, "The dean's mother said that someone came to the orphanage this morning. Xiao An Ning. And this person is likely to be the person who abandoned Xiao An Ning at the gate of the orphanage back then. Well, to be precise, she is very likely to be Xiao An Ning's biological mother."

"Who is that person?" Hetu's face changed again and again during my narration, he looked at me a little strangely, and asked cautiously after a while.

"Uh... are you talking about Xiao An Ning's biological mother?" I was stunned for a moment before I understood what he meant, then I shook my head and said, "I don't know too well. Anxious, and didn't explain it clearly to me. I only know that Xiao An Ning suddenly became emotionally unstable after seeing that woman. Later, he sneaked out by himself while the dean's mother was not paying attention..."

Although I don't know the exact process, but thinking about it with my toes, I can also guess that the person who is suspected to be Xiao An Ning's biological mother must have said something that should not be said to Xiao An Ning, which caused Xiao An Ning, who has always been precocious and sensible, to be so big. mood swings.

How much was the child who was able to calmly deal with knowing that he was about to be adopted and brought to live abroad, to leave home?
I am a little worried, but more afraid.

The world is so chaotic now, there are so many bad guys, and Xiao An Ning is only 6 years old, what if she is abducted by the bad guys?
Even if he was lucky and didn't meet any bad guys, what should he do if he was accidentally knocked down by so many cars on the street?
"Damn it!" Hetu cursed and said, "Anyway, let's call the police first."

"Student Hetu, you must be in a hurry. Can the police register a missing person 24 hours later?" I rolled my eyes at him and said angrily.

"Then what should we do?" He Tu frowned and said, "We can't waste a day!"

"Jincheng is so big, we can't run around like headless chickens." After thinking about it, I pursed my lips and said, "I want to call the dean's mother first and ask her about the woman who is suspected to be Xiao Anning's biological mother. I don’t know what clues may be found from the information. What do you think?”

I looked up at Hetu, only to find that his face was pale and in a daze, as if something was on his mind.

"Ye Suisui..." Hetu opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, as if he was worried about something.

Is it...

Reminiscent of Hetu's abnormality these days, my heart moved.

Does this guy know what not to do?

"Huh?" I raised my eyebrows, looked at him calmly, my eyes were quiet and composed, "You seem to have something to say to me, classmate Hetu."

"I..." Hetu lowered his head, not daring to meet my gaze.

I know that as long as I calm down and activate my mind-reading ability at this moment, I will instantly know the secret in Hetu's heart that he doesn't want to tell me.

But for some reason, at this moment, I am very reluctant to do that.

So I just looked at him quietly and said nothing.

There was an eerie silence all around.

I don't know how long it took before Hetu raised his head from the silence, and said slowly, "I think, maybe I can tell you about that woman..."

"Huh?" My heart beat suddenly.

I know that Hetu is finally willing to share his secrets with me.I don't know why, but at this moment, I felt a little secretly happy.

"So you know her?"

"It's more than acquaintance!" With a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, He Tu lowered his eyes and smiled, "To be precise, I have been with her day and night under the same roof for 6 years, and we are very familiar with each other!"

"Oh!" My heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly remembered the secret that Le Xiaoxiao wanted to keep for He Tu even though she was misunderstood.

Is it...

"She's my stepmother." Hetu raised his head and met my eyes straightly, "Didn't expect that? Actually, before I met Xiao An Ning, I didn't think that things would be like this..."

"Your stepmother is Xiao An Ning's biological mother? So, after seeing Xiao An Ning for the first time, you knew the truth of the matter?" No wonder this guy takes good care of Xiao An Ning these days and pays special attention to her!
I naively thought that it was Xiao An Ning's handsome and well-behaved that made him like it, but I didn't expect there to be such a complicated reason.

"I wasn't sure at first." Hetu shook his head and said, "I once saw a photo that my stepmother treasured by accident. That photo was probably taken when Xiao Anning was 3 years old. I was very surprised at the time because Seeing how much the stepmother attaches importance to that photo, she seems to care about the child in the photo. But I have never seen him. But I didn't take it seriously at the time, until I saw Xiao An Ning in the orphanage that time. I found that , He looks too much like the child in my stepmother's photo. So... I became suspicious and went to a private detective to investigate quietly. "

It's too scary for a child from a rich family to go to a private investigator to investigate.

I rolled my eyes to show my serious displeasure at this.

Hetu didn't seem to see my dissatisfaction, and continued: "It's okay if you don't investigate. After investigating, I suddenly discovered that in the past few years, my stepmother has been secretly donating to your Sunshine Orphanage without telling my father. And An Ning, he is not only The child in the photo is my stepmother's illegitimate child!"

"Illegitimate child!" Even though I was always calm, I couldn't help being overwhelmed by my explosive gossip, "Could it be that your stepmother... did something wrong to your father?"

Isn't that how it's played on TV?
I thought it was just art, but I didn't expect art to come from life, and such bloody cases happened around us...

"It's not what you think!" He Tu threw me a "don't be so bloody" expression, and said dumbfoundedly, "Actually, I can't blame my stepmother completely for this matter. Although An Ning is my stepmother's illegitimate child, But this was before I married my father. Over the years, my stepmother and my father have been in a stable relationship. Uh, how should I describe the relationship between them? There is a word called mutual respect, what I want to say is the relationship between them condition of the room."

He Tu tilted his head, as if caught in a distant and long memory.
