After seeing Wang Rui four more times like a wandering soul, Ding Nan decided to give up on his hard work and listen to Teacher Zhao's suggestion. He first went to work at the art academy and waited for his fate two years later.
When the summer vacation arrived, the roommates all had their own homes. Li Ying, a Beijing girl, went to a children's palace to be a teacher. Wang Han, a good girl, went to an art gallery. Zhang Lili, a talented girl, failed her PhD exam and returned to a university where she was born to be a teacher with her boyfriend. With the help of his mentor, Chen Bo also signed a teaching contract with a certain high school.
Half a month before the third-year graduate students left school, Ding Nan brought his son, Hang Hang, over to Beijing to have some fun. The little guy was getting more and more sensible. In the three years she was in graduate school, every time she called home, the last thing he said was always,"You're not allowed to marry anyone else!" However, this time, when he saw his mother bring him to stay in a shabby hotel and listened to his mother haggle with the waiter, he, who had not seen his father for six years, said,"Mom, if you think it's too hard, find another man!”
Ding Nan would never forget these two sentences that he had said at different stages. Moreover, every time he thought of them, tears would almost flow out of his eyes.
When she held the seven-year-old Hang Hang's hand and strolled around the campus, she attracted the surprised gazes of her acquaintances. Chen Bo stared blankly at the handsome and cute little boy beside her and asked,""Who did you bring?" She raised her head proudly and looked at Chen Bo with a smile."My son. You didn't expect this, did you?" "Really?" Chen Bo widened his eyes and asked. I'm not joking." "Of course it's true," she said seriously.”Back in the dormitory, Li Ying looked at the mother and son for a long time and said,""I always thought you were like us.”
During the ten days that he had brought Hang Hang to visit Beijing, Hang Hang had loved Beijing so much. Every time he went to a new scenic spot, he would cheer and sing," I love Beijing's Tian 'anmen. The sun rises on Tian' anmen…" Ding Nan suddenly felt very powerless in those moments. She had a strong desire to keep Hang Hang and never send him back, but she felt that she had no time to care about herself.
Li Shi's regular text messages gave her a bold idea.
A long time ago, she had read an article. She had forgotten whether it was a novel or a documentary. A single mother had divorced and lived alone with her son. The child was seven years old and had never seen his father. His mother always told him that his father had gone on a business trip far away and would only be back for a long time. Therefore, his son looked forward to it with hope. One day, someone knocked on the door. The little boy opened the door and saw a tall and strong stranger outside. The man picked up the little boy as soon as he entered the door and said,"Son, daddy is back. Daddy has returned from a very, very far place. Daddy will never leave you!”The little boy was stunned for a moment before hugging the stranger intimately and calling him daddy. The stranger and his mother looked at each other and smiled. In fact, the strange man was not the child's biological father. He was her mother's long-time boyfriend. It was her mother who had designed such a scene. From then on, the three of them lived happily together.
It was a story as beautiful as a fairy tale. Ding Nan sighed. The background of the story was so similar to her reality, but she did not have a ready-made boyfriend. Therefore, when Li Shi's regular greeting messages arrived as scheduled, she thought of imitating him. She decided to talk to Li Shi for the sake of the child and for the sake of reality.
For her son, she decided to go all out. After Sun Guowei, she no longer believed in love. She thought that perhaps finding a suitable partner would be enough. Compared to Wang Rui, Li Shi was much more interesting. Even if she did not love him, her life would not be dull and boring.
The two of them arranged to meet at a Sichuan restaurant near the National Normal University. After Ding Nan entrusted Hanghang to Chen Bo, he went to the appointment.
After sitting down, Li Shi smiled and looked at her for a long time. Finally, he said,"Little Yu 'er, long time no see! Why did you suddenly ask me out?”
"How have you been recently?" Ding Nan asked. Do you have a fixed partner?"
Li Shi placed the bowls and cups in front of the two of them one by one and raised his head."If I did, I wouldn't send you messages often. I don't have the energy. What about you? I heard that it ended with that soldier. How is it now? Is there another suitable one?"
Ding Nan leaned closer and said half-probingly and half-jokingly,"No, according to your logic, I wouldn't have asked you out if I did. Hmm…Do you think we're suitable for each other?”
Li Shi was stunned for a moment before he recovered and smiled."Of course I think it's suitable. The key is you. Do you think we're suitable?”
Ding Nan leaned back slightly and leaned against the back of the chair. He pondered for a moment and said,"It seems very suitable. You're divorced, and so am I. You have a son, and I have a son.”
Li Shi looked into her eyes and lowered them. He quickly raised them and said,"And then? Continue."
"Do you dare to try it with me?" she asked, raising her eyebrows. Let's try our marriage for a year. I'll take our son and live with you, and you'll take our son. After a year, if we're harmonious and happy, we'll get our marriage certificate and continue. If we're not happy, we'll separate. Do you dare?"
Li Shi seemed to be surprised, but after a moment of silence, he said seriously,"Of course I dare. If a woman like you dares, why wouldn't I dare?”
Ding Nan thought to himself,'I'm being forced into a corner.' He immediately said,"However, I have a condition. It can also be considered a plan. I need your cooperation. My son has never seen his father since he was a year old. I need you to be his biological father.”As he spoke, Ding Nan told Li Shi the story he had seen in detail and told him how to cooperate.
Li Shi's expression was sorrowful. After a while, he said with emotion,"Sigh, the child is really pitiful. Children are all innocent. I promise to fully cooperate with you! "In addition, we can take things one step at a time. In order to not make our lives so messy all of a sudden, I can leave my son with my mother first and let her take care of him. We can rent a room or two outside and live with you and your son. What do you think?”
Ding Nan did not expect this man to be not only interesting but also so attentive and considerate. He nodded repeatedly and said,"Yes, yes. When I start work in September, we can officially start, okay?”
"No problem." Li Shi nodded. I'll make all the necessary preparations, including the house, daily necessities, and help the child contact the school.”
At the end of August, Li Shi finished everything and called Ding Nan to bring Hang Hang to the newly rented house to meet. Ding Nan avoided Hang Hang. After exhorting Li Shi repeatedly, he finally held his son's hand uneasily and arrived at their new home.
