Chapter 3 Guilty

choice of nani was awakened by the children's dialogue.

"it's so beautiful here!" a short-haired girl couldn't help but sigh.

"did you see the pavilion we passed by? it looks like a place where fairies live!"

"madam, may i ask, is this your home?" the short-haired girl asked ran yunrou tentatively.

"well," ran yunrou introduced to them, "starting from the ginkgo tree, it is the manor of the rajput family."

"that ginkgo tree is so big and beautiful! it's golden!"

"that tree has a history of thousands of years. now, we have someone to protect me. mr. ruan and i got engaged under that tree." the corner of ran yunrou's mouth rose slightly, as if immersed in good memories: "so you have to remember, don't climb that tree. in addition, the design of the manor is complex and the area is relatively large. you must not run around without us, otherwise it will be bad if you lose it."

"okay, ma'am."

among the five children in the car, there are three girls and two boys. compared with the three girls, nani and the other boy were relatively calm to the scene in front of them. especially nani, he couldn't see the fluctuations in his heart from the outside, but in fact nani was shocked for a long time. and this shock was magnified several times when they arrived at the gate of the mansion, and even the always calm he couldn't help but open his mouth.

the exterior wall spliced ​​with granite and marble is designed to be as simple and stylish as possible. however, as the door of the style opened, nani understood what the difference between clouds and mud is.

the intricate crystal lighting exudes a dreamlike light, and the light spots are scattered on the precious porcelain that can be seen everywhere, dazzling. there are not too many luxurious carvings, just rely on the retro furnishings to show the owner's taste, which seems to be low-key, but is actually luxurious. standing in the ten-meter-high hall, nani felt as small as an ant. they were all just kids with an obvious curiosity about such a gorgeous building. the children followed ran yunrou forward while looking left and right. when the servants in maid costumes saw ran yunrou, they all stopped their work and saluted her respectfully. they stopped before the spiral staircase and were neatly lined up.

"mother, are they here yet?" a clear and melodious child's voice came from upstairs, and nani looked upstairs. i saw a child wearing a tiger head plush hat, holding a persian cat in his hands, and running downstairs with joy.

nani has never seen such a cute child. there was baby fat on his face, and his bulging cheeks made him soft and tender. the excitement made his fair skin a tinge of pink. his eyes were large and dazzling, shining with dazzling light. it is actually more beautiful than the persian cat in his hand.

"hello, my name is mangu, the whirring wind, xi, xi, xi," he seemed to be racking his brains, but he didn't think of what to say: "it's not the xi of the watermelon, and i don't know if it is. which one?" after speaking, he felt a little embarrassed, and he laughed out loud and giggled.

nani had seen many children laugh before, some were to please customers in order to sell biscuits, some were contemptuous smiles at other children who sold the most cookies, and some were forced smiles when facing the dean. but nani has never seen such a pure smile as contagious as the warm sun. he thought that if sunshine had a human appearance, it would probably be the appearance of the child in front of him.

ran yunrou squatted in front of mangu dotingly, caressed his face and said, "they will be here with the baby for a week. after a week, the baby needs to choose your favorite child from them and stay with you. growing up."

"can i only choose one?" mangu tilted her head and asked in confusion, "can't you just stay?"

"no, baby," ran yun softly said to him, "raising a child is not as easy as thinking about a baby. we have to apply, transfer the child's account, and wait for approval. it's a very complicated thing. so, ah, there is only one child left."

mangu pursed her lips, as if trying to digest what ran yunrou said. after a long while, he repeated ran yunrou's words: "you can only choose one child."

mangu put the persian cat in his hand on the ground and slowly approached the children in the orphanage. he stopped in front of each child curiously, observing each child carefully.

the children did not miss the opportunity to show themselves, because everyone knew that from this moment on, the key to changing their destiny had been placed in front of them.

the short-haired girl stood up first. she smiled confidently: "hello, my name is wang xiaotian, i am 7 years old this year. i am good at dancing." after speaking, she performed a dance generously. it can be seen that there is no professional study, but it is also very eye-catching.

"it's so beautiful to dance!" mangu couldn't help clapping for her, wang xiaotian raised his head and smiled proudly.

the second child is a girl with long hair. she introduced herself in a sweet voice: "hello, my name is wang xiaoyu, i am 6 years old. i like singing the most. what song do you want to listen to? let me sing you one. "

i want to hear two big tigers." mangu replied loudly.

"two big tigers? are they two tigers?" wang xiaoyu confirmed with mangu again that this nursery rhyme was very simple for her, and she sang it very easily. after a song was sung, mangu clapped her hands happily and kept praising her for her good singing.

wang xiaoyu was in a very good mood after being praised by him. he squinted at wang xiaotian, feeling that he was more popular than her.

the boy standing beside them is the eldest of these children. he is nine years old. after a brief introduction, he thought about it and said to mangu: "i have no talent, but i am very good at playing football. i can play football with you."

mangu was obviously not interested in playing football, but he politely praised: "everyone who can play football is amazing, unlike me, every time i can't even kick the ball, i just fall down."

his tone was a little bit aggrieved. when he said that he fell, he also made a move to fall, which was very cute and made the people around him laugh.

the fourth girl also stood up, she said in a very mysterious tone: "my name is luo ningning, i am eight years old this year, i am very good at telling good stories. i can tell you a lot every day. stories."

mangu was attracted by her tone, and hurriedly asked: "sister, what kind of stories do you tell?"

"that's too many, i can tell ali baba and the forty thieves, i can tell snow white, i can tell cinderella, promise, you can't finish listening to it for seven days and seven nights."

this was undoubtedly a fatal attraction for children, mangu immediately grabbed luo ningning's hand and asked her to tell a story. luo ningning thought for a moment and chose the story of princess pea. her story was told vividly, and mangu listened intently. at the wonderful moment, mangu's small mouth was so open that she forgot to close it, and saliva flowed down the corner of her mouth without knowing it.

nani was silent when he saw such a scene. he was not attracted by luo ningning's story, but was analyzing the child in front of him, thinking about what could arouse his interest.

finally, the story of luo ningning ended in the happy ending of the prince and princess. mangu gave thunderous applause, it can be seen that he likes this story very much, and also likes luo ningning very much.

finally, it was nani's turn. unlike other children, nani didn't come out to introduce himself directly, but walked up to mangu first and bent his knees to keep his eyes level with mangu. in this way, mangu doesn't have to lift his head when he sees him, it will be more comfortable.

ran yunrou, who was standing on the side, raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw this. the boy in front of him was indeed unexpected. from the sachet in the morning to the gesture of respecting mangu, every detail showed his excellence.

before nani could speak, he saw mangu put her little nose close to nani, sniffed his clothes, and her eyes widened: "wow! brother, you are so fragrant!"

nani patiently explained to him: "it's the scent of the sweet-scented osmanthus sachet. if you like it, i'll make it for you. would you like to make it a little less scented?

" she really has a special preference for fragrance, and she stands closer to nani. with enough intimacy, nani began to introduce himself: "hello, young master mangu, my name is nani, yuan means very slow, xian means small mountains, you can understand it as slow. the long mountain. the place where i was born is in the mountain. there are many little tigers there, and i am very good at being a cloth tiger."

"the cloth tiger! the cloth tiger! the cloth tiger!" mangu cheered: "i like it the most. tigers! i want to cloth tigers, i want a lot of cloth tigers, i want cloth tigers that can fill the whole house!"

seeing his reaction, nani's anxiety disappeared. from the hat on mangu's head and the song he just ordered, it can be seen that mangu likes tigers. and he is four years old now, which means that he was born in the year of the tiger, so the tiger must be a good choice.

as expected, mangu was jumping up and down, and he was in high spirits. he kept talking about the tiger, and looked at nani excitedly.

nani tried to smile back at mangu's enthusiastic gaze, but he hadn't made this expression on his face for too long. mangu was amused by him and laughed, and his soft little hand held nani and said to ran yunrou, "mother, i have made up my mind. he is fragrant, can be a cloth tiger, and is fun, so i want him."

ran yunrou asked in astonishment: "isn't the baby waiting for a week? don't you have more contact with other children?"

"yeah, i must be more fun than him!" another boy recommended himself.

"i'm a girl, i'm definitely more fragrant."

"yes, i'm better-looking than him." wang xiaotian said quickly.

the children started chattering, making mangu embarrassed. he took nani's hand to ran yunrou's side, and said to ran yunrou: "mother, i just like him very much. i've thought about it, if i can only choose one person, i don't want to be with everyone for a week. everyone here so awesome, i love them now. if i spend a week with them, i'll be sad when i choose after that week. i've made a choice now, and haven't played with the other people for so long. it's sad, but it's not it will be so sad."

"our baby knows how to think about the long-term, and mother is very proud of you." ran yunrou felt relieved: "then do as you said."

mangu saw her mother's agreement and looked back happily. nani, his eyes shone brightly, converging happy emotions into stars. nani was influenced by him and laughed too. it's just that the smile this time is completely different from the last time. it's the most sincere smile that comes from the heart.
