After listening to Ling Xiaolei's definition of happiness, Zhang Ning was also thinking about his own happiness.

"My mother was not home when I got out of school. I didn't have any brothers or sisters. I couldn't solve the problems, so I had to wait until the teacher explained them in class. Xiaomao, it turns out I was not happy."

"How can you be unhappy? Your clothes and shoes are always clean and smell good. Aunt Qingqing will bravely protect you when you are hurt. You can see your mother at school all the time."

“Isn’t this also a kind of happiness?”

Ling Xiaolei's "happiness" was like a seed that was planted in Zhang Ning's heart, took root and sprouted in Zhang Ning's heart, and used happiness to hold up an umbrella for himself.

"It turns out that I am happy too." Zhang Ning murmured.

Suddenly, Zhang Ning seemed to have thought of something and stood up abruptly: "Xiao Mao, do you think my stepmother can really treat me better than my biological mother? If my mother wants to find me a stepfather in the future, what should I do?"

"My father has married me a stepmother and gave birth to a younger brother. But when I went to his house to pay New Year's greetings, he never looked at me straight in the eye. All his love was only for my younger brother..."

Thinking of the grievances he had suffered at home before, Zhang Ning felt unhappy again.

The reason why Zhang Ning asked Ling Xiaolei was that after all, Ling Xiaolei was an expert and his family had had two stepmothers, so asking Ling Xiaolei was something he had thought about a long time ago.

However, Ling Xiaolei had no way to answer this question: "Although I can't control what kind of people adults like, I know that everyone likes a well-behaved child."

"But I see that Aunt Qingqing treats you so well, you don't have to worry about these things, right? If Aunt Qingqing really finds you a stepfather, he will definitely ask Mom to treat us well, just like my dad did."

……

After the children have gone to bed, all that remains is the adults' night talk time.

Li Luo applied a facial mask and gave one to Xu Qingqing as well.

Xu Qingqing found it interesting, so she followed Li Luo's example and put the entire mask on her face, feeling what Li Luo said, the feeling of skin drinking water.

"Luoluo, actually this time, besides coming here to apologize to you, I also have something else I want you to help me with." Xu Qingqing spoke while wearing a facial mask, and she always felt like she couldn't open her mouth.

"Shh." Li Luo made a gesture to keep quiet: "Don't make any noise, the mask will crack."

After applying the facial mask, Xu Qingqing felt that her skin had improved by two degrees when she looked in the mirror.

"Luoluo, no wonder your skin is so good, you actually know how to take care of yourself!" Xu Qingqing said excitedly.

"As a woman, of course you have to take good care of yourself. Not only should your mentality be young, but your face should also be young. Only by pleasing yourself can you become more and more confident."

"Okay, now you can tell me what you want me to do for you." Li Luo pulled the quilt and patted the seat next to him.

Xu Qingqing sat next to Li Luo, feeling a little embarrassed.

"It's like this. Didn't I take the college entrance examination? While I was in the examination room, I met the man I had dated before. Later, we went to dinner together and he told me that he still wanted to be with me."

"If I were still a virgin, I would definitely be with him without saying anything. But although I am single now, I already have Zhang Ning, and I don't know how to tell her about this."

"It would be a lie to say that I don't have any feelings for him, but if you want me to hide Zhang Ning's existence and be with him, I can't do it."

"So I hope you can help me get rid of him." Xu Qingqing took a deep breath and made up her mind before saying this.

Li Luo was confused: "Why did you think of asking me to help you? You can explain it to him yourself. I also think that we should not hide the existence of Zhang Ning. If he chooses to let you give up Zhang Ning, will you really leave Zhang Ning?"

"Based on the way you protected Zhang Ning today, I don't think you can do such a thing." Li Luo said firmly.

Xu Qingqing was struggling with this kind of thing, so she had not accepted the other party's invitation for a long time. But today, seeing Zhang Ning's aggrieved and pitiful look, she felt distressed. She could not abandon Zhang Ning for her own happiness.

Moreover, she had already felt sorry enough for Zhang Ning. She couldn't give Zhang Ning a complete family. She didn't even know whether Zhang Ning would accept that she would have a stepfather in the future.

"I think you should take the initiative to bring up this matter with Zhang Ning. First, you need to know Zhang Ning's attitude towards the matter of stepfather, and then you can discuss the specific personality and companionship issues."

Xu Qingqing thought about it and suddenly realized: "I was always worried before. Zhang Debiao has remarried and has a child with his second wife, so Zhang Ning rarely comes back to the Zhang family."

"Before, Zhang Debiao's grandparents often looked forward to their grandson's return, but since they had the boy, they never mentioned it again."

"Hey, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. Luoluo, not all stepmothers can do as well as you do. Most stepmothers, like Zhang Debiao's current wife, will not treat their ex-wife's children as their own."

"So I'm afraid that I will put Zhang Ning in such a situation. No matter which side Zhang Ning chooses, he will be the only one who will be sad in the end."

Xu Qingqing finally opened Zhang Ning's heart and didn't want to hurt Zhang Ning again.

"Being sincere with each other will be good for both sides. If you only rely on hiding your true feelings to maintain a relationship, the lies will be exposed one day." Li Luo suggested sincerely.

Xu Qingqing also thought that what Li Luo said made sense, and thought that when she met him, she would confess everything to him.

"I just don't know when the results will be released. I looked up the answers and I think I should be able to get into a local university this time. As for Beijing Youth University, I'm afraid there's no hope." Xu Qingqing felt a little depressed.

But as long as she gets into university, she will have more opportunities to earn more money for Zhang Ning, and allow Zhang Ning to receive a better education. This is enough for her.

Even if she continues to teach in the village in the future, she doesn't have to worry about the school dismissing her.

"I'm not worried about your grades, but I still need to take care of your happiness. Qingqing, you are an excellent woman. Even if you have a child, you are still an excellent woman."

"You have to distinguish whether others are attracted to you because of your charm or because you are you. You have to find someone who truly loves you, not someone who is old enough or who is looking for a stepfather for Zhang Ning..."

"None of these can be a reason for you to make a hasty decision."
