"What misunderstanding? Tell mom."

Tang's mother had a serious expression on her face and was extremely concerned about her daughter's school life.

"I was bullied at school."

"But, but the person who bullied me was not him, but someone else."

"He stood up for me when I was being bullied and saved me."

"Then..."

"Then..."

Having said this, Tang Manman began to stutter and couldn't say the rest of the words.

"Then what?"

Mother Tang asked anxiously.

Suddenly, Tang's mother's heart tightened, and she couldn't control her voice and asked loudly:

"Is he threatening you to be his girlfriend?"

"No la!"

Tang Manman blushed and shook her head. She glanced at her mother with some shame and resentment, and continued to explain:

"There were a lot of people around when I was being bullied. He said that from now on I would be under his protection and that no one else was allowed to bully me anymore."

"Maybe it's because of this sentence that many people misunderstood our relationship."

Chapter 31 Could it be that he was being retaliated against?

"That's it."

Tang's mother breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that things had not yet reached the worst point.

However, looking at Manman's condition, she obviously had different feelings for that male classmate, which made Tang Xin, as a mother, very worried.

She would never allow her daughter to fall in love during her senior year of high school, the most critical time, in order to prevent her from losing interest in studying, causing her grades to drop, failing to get into a good university, and suffering like herself in the future.

Besides that, Tang Xin didn't know how to face that little guy Kai.

He is Manman's childhood sweetheart, who grew up together. He is sensible, well-behaved and has good academic performance.

After entering high school, he often came to his barbecue stall to help when he had nothing to do. Although he didn't want anything given to him, his feelings were obvious and he was obviously in love with Manman.

I have always regarded him as my future son-in-law, but Tang Manman suddenly has a crush on someone else. How should I tell him?

Mother Tang felt so worried that she felt choked up.

Suddenly, a question flashed through her mind. She looked at Tang Manman, who lowered her head and even her ears were bright red, and asked doubtfully:

"Manman, you said you were bullied at school. Doesn't Yu Kai know about this?"

Yu Kai and Manman are classmates in the same class. According to common sense, if Manman was bullied, he would not have failed to notice it.

Now that he has discovered it, why would he let someone else take on the responsibility of saving the beauty?

When she heard her mother talking about Yu Kai, the blush on Tang Manman's face faded a lot, and was replaced by her watery eyes that began to turn red.

he does not know?

How could he not know?

He was just standing aside and watching the show!

How could he not know!

The grievances buried deep in her heart burst out at this moment. Tang Manman wiped her tears and said with a sob:

"he knows!"

"He just stood there and watched when I was being bullied!"

"what?"

Tang's mother exclaimed in surprise, obviously not mentally prepared for such an answer.

"How could this be?"

"He was standing by when you were being bullied?"

"did nothing?"

Tang's mother asked in disbelief.

Tang Manman sobbed. Even though she felt inexplicably wronged in her heart, she still said honestly:

"No, after I asked him for help, he stepped forward to help me, but was beaten back by the group of people who bullied me."

"Isn't that it?"

Mother Tang let out a breath of relief, looked at her daughter with a reproachful look and said:

"It's not that Xiao Yu doesn't want to help you, it's that he has no other choice."

"At least he stood up for you, didn't he?"

Tang Manman didn't say anything, she just lowered her head and shook her head. She didn't know how to explain the situation to her mother.

Yu Kai has been hiding in the crowd, watching everything happen silently but not daring to show up.

But after I asked him for help, he could no longer hide and came out.

If I hadn't seen him, he would have continued to hide!

Moreover, Tang Manman never wants to experience the feeling of being abandoned by her only hope before falling into the abyss again in her life!

Seeing Tang Manman's paranoid look, Tang's mother sighed softly. She sat down next to Tang Manman, stretched out her hand and gently hugged her into her arms, and said in a gentle voice:

"Manman, you can't blame Xiaoyu for this."

"Everyone will feel scared when facing bad guys. This is normal."

"And Xiao Yu also stood up in the end, didn't he?"

"Put yourself in their shoes. If the person you like is surrounded by a group of bad guys, would you dare to step forward and help without hesitation?"

"Will you hesitate for a long time..."

Before Tang's mother could finish her words, Tang Manman suddenly broke away from her usual gentle attitude and loudly retorted:

"Of course I dare!"

Tang Manman's eyes were determined, and what happened that night emerged in her mind.

Wasn’t Lin Yu also bullied and hunted by bad guys that night?

Wasn't it very brave of me to save him by myself?

...

...

As she recalled more, Tang Manman suddenly remembered that she seemed to have hesitated for a long time across the street that night. Only after she made up her mind did she go and bring Lin Yu back.

Could it be...

Am I the same person as Yu Peng?

Or...

Is this true for most people in this world?

Tang Manman's tearful eyes dimmed little by little. Her mind was in a mess, and her thoughts were like countless headphones tangled together, so tangled that she couldn't make sense of anything.

Seeing her daughter's emotions suddenly become excited and then lost, Tang's mother didn't know what to do.

The thoughts of adolescent girls are the most difficult to guess, so she simply ignored it and made a serious request:

"Tang Manman, I don't care what you think of Xiao Yu, or what you think of the classmate who helped you. I only have one request."

"That means you absolutely cannot fall in love now."

"Did you hear that?"

"You are now in the most critical period of your senior year. You must focus all your energy on studying."

"As for who you like, mom won't interfere, but you have to wait until after the college entrance examination!"

"If you dare to fall in love before the college entrance examination, I will show you how I will deal with you!"

As she spoke, Tang's mother put on a fierce look, but she tapped Tang Manman's smooth and white forehead with her index finger as a reminder.

Tang Manman pouted her lower lip slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with her mother's attitude.

I clearly didn't do anything bad.

Why did my mother make me feel like I was going to become a bad kid who would skip classes, drop out of school and run away with someone else in the next second?

"Did you hear that?"

Seeing that her daughter didn't answer, Tang's mother tapped Tang Manman's forehead a few times in anger, this time using a little more force.

"I heard you."

Tang Manman said aggrievedly.

After getting her daughter's promise, Tang's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up, and just as she was about to pack up her things and get ready to go out to set up the stall, she suddenly noticed something strange.

its not right.

What was the first topic between Manman and I?

Thinking of that title, Tang's mother sat down next to Tang Manman again and asked suspiciously:

"Manman, does the person who helped you like you?"

"do not like."

Tang Manman shook her head decisively without even thinking.

Are you kidding? Who would treat the person they like like that?

It seemed that Lin Yu not only disliked himself, but also hated himself a little.

Thinking of this, Tang Manman felt an inexplicable sense of grievance in her heart.

He hates himself, so why does he help himself again and again?

"do not like you?"

"Then why didn't he come out to stop and clarify when your classmates at school called you that?"

Tang's mother still maintained a suspicious attitude. She had a lot of experience and was not as easy to be fooled as those older kids in high school who had not yet entered the society. This might very well be the legendary playing hard to get!

They specifically try to deceive young girls like Manman who are inexperienced in the world!

"Mom~"

Tang Manman looked at Tang's mother speechlessly, her beautiful eyes filled with helplessness and resentment of not being trusted.

"Okay, okay, Mom will just ask this one last question."

Mother Tang held up a finger and said in a half-coaxing, half-pleading tone:

"the last one!"

Tang Manman looked at Tang's mother helplessly and said:

"Because he was injured the same night he saved me, and he didn't come to school until yesterday. He doesn't know what happened in school, so how can he stop others?"

"He was injured the same night I rescued you?"

"How did you get hurt?"

"Is the injury serious?"

Tang's mother asked in surprise.

Listening to her mother's questions that came out one after another like a machine gun, Tang Manman felt a little annoyed.

Didn’t we agree that the question just now was the last one?

Why are there so many problems all of a sudden?
