The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

Now, not only is Tangtang looking forward to the end of get out of class, but Tiantian is also curious about what Mengmeng wants to say to Tangtang.

Jingle bell~

As soon as the bell rang and Teacher Yue announced the end of get out of class, the students rushed out of the playground in a flurry.

Tangtang rushed to Mengmeng's side, grabbed her arm, and asked, "Mengmeng, can you tell me what the secret I told you this morning is now?"

Mengmeng glanced around; her classmates were still nearby.

There are some things you can tell Tangtang, but you can't let anyone else know.

Mengmeng stopped in her tracks, not wanting to wait until everyone around her had left.

Tangtang understands Mengmeng well, so she stopped and stood quietly beside her, waiting for her to speak again.

"Tangtang, let me see your fingers," Mengmeng said.

Tangtang's expression immediately darkened.

Her injured fingers were always a source of pain for her, and she would hide them whenever possible, not wanting anyone to see them.

"Mengmeng, your injured finger is scary. You shouldn't look at it anymore," Tangtang said, hiding her hands behind her back.

When she first lost half a finger, she had nightmares every night. The nightmares only stopped after she completely got used to it and accepted the loss of her finger.

She was worried that Mengmeng would have nightmares after seeing this, and that it would make her no longer want to be her friend.

"Mengmeng, you really shouldn't watch this. You'll have nightmares if you do." Tangtang said, then lowered her head insecurely.

"Why would Mengmeng have nightmares? Tangtang is Mengmeng's best, best friend. Even if she has a dream, it's a happy one." Mengmeng said as she reached out and took Tangtang's hand, which was hidden behind her back.

The missing finger is the ring finger, which does not hinder the use of the hand, but the missing half is more wrinkled than the rest of the skin because of the stitches.

Tangtang saw Mengmeng staring at her hand without saying a word, so she immediately pulled her hand back, put it in her pocket, and prepared to leave.

"Not scary at all!"

Mengmeng's words made Tangtang stop in her tracks, and she turned to look at Mengmeng.

"It looks really unique!" Mengmeng said, walking towards Tangtang. "Tangtang, don't you think so?"

Having experienced having a perfectly intact finger, and then losing it in a car accident, Tangtang always felt that she had gone from being healthy to being disabled, and she didn't want to see her injured finger.

She sniffled, unable to hold back her tears any longer.

"So cute~ Waaah~"

"My sweetie~ Don't cry, don't cry~"

Mengmeng imitated the adults, reaching out to hug Tangtang and gently patting her trembling back as she cried.

This was the first time Tangtang had received comfort from anyone other than her family. Tangtang, who had always appeared strong, suddenly broke down, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

This was the first time Tangtang had cried in front of Mengmeng, and also the first time she had cried outside of home.

Seeing her crying so sadly, Mengmeng's heart ached.

"Tangtang, if you don't like Mengmeng talking about your fingers, Mengmeng won't say it anymore. If you're unhappy, you can scold your little sister, just don't cry anymore, okay?"

Mengmeng kept wiping Tangtang's face with her hands, but it didn't work after a long time. Instead, her tears stained other parts of her face.

In the end, Mengmeng couldn't comfort Tangtang, and Tangtang started crying too. The other students on the playground saw the two of them hugging each other and sobbing.

Someone told Teacher Moon about this scene, and before she even got back to her office, she turned back halfway and returned to the playground.

She looked at the scene before her, which was exactly the same as what the students had told her, and rushed forward to ask, "What happened?"

Sweetie sat under a tree not far away, enjoying the cool shade and watching them like it was a show.

Mengmeng choked back tears as she replied, "Meng... Mengmeng... doesn't want Tangtang... to cry... to cry..."

Teacher Yue was completely confused. She didn't want Tangtang to cry, so she should be comforting her. Why was Tangtang crying even harder than Tangtang?

"Tangtang, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Teacher Yueyue squatted down in front of Tangtang and asked with concern.

Tangtang lowered her head, her loud sobs turning into quiet whimpers. She didn't want to tell anyone that she was crying because of her finger.

"Teacher Moon." Mengmeng composed herself and reached out to tug at Teacher Moon's hand. "Teacher Moon, please don't ask Tangtang anymore. We didn't fight, and we weren't hurt."

"Why is that?" Teacher Moon was completely confused and started to get anxious.

As the teacher in charge of the class, if her two students were crying uncontrollably on the playground and this got back to the principal, and she still claimed to know nothing about it, she would be criticized.

"Because we miss our mom!" After thinking it over, Mengmeng could only come up with this somewhat unbelievable reason.

"Really?" Teacher Moon confirmed.

"Mmm." Mengmeng nodded.

Tangtang stood blankly to the side, watching Mengmeng lie to Teacher Yue Liang.

She knew that Mengmeng did this so that Teacher Yueliang wouldn't know about her finger.

Teacher Moon turned to Tangtang and asked, "Is that so?"

While Teacher Yue wasn't looking, Mengmeng winked and made faces at Tangtang.

"Mmm." Tangtang nodded.

With both of them giving the same answer, Teacher Yue's anxiety subsided.

"It's good that you're alright. The teacher thought you were being bullied by students from other classes."

Countless possible scenarios flashed through her mind along the way, making her so anxious that she wished she could fly to their side.

"We're sorry, Teacher Yue Liang. Mengmeng and Tangtang will be more careful next time. If we miss Mommy again, we'll go to Teacher Yue Liang's office to get her phone and call her," Mengmeng said.

Seeing their sincere attitude, Teacher Yue stopped talking. She gently ruffled their hair and said softly, "Alright, go to the classroom now, the next class is about to start."

"Okay, Teacher Moon."

The two spoke in unison, then held hands and ran towards the classroom together.

Sweetie was extremely bored as she watched the matter end like that. However, her sixth sense told her that the ancient tree branch Mengmeng mentioned that morning was very likely related to Tangtang's missing finger.

She watched the two figures disappear into the distance and quickly followed after them.

"Mengmeng, why didn't you tell Teacher Yue Liang the truth just now?" Tangtang asked.

"Mengmeng knows that Tangtang doesn't want anyone to know about Tangtang's finger problem, so even though it was Teacher Yue Liang who asked, we couldn't just tell her the truth directly." Mengmeng looked at Tangtang and explained seriously, "We didn't do anything bad, what we just said was probably a white lie."
