Except for going to school, Namanting stayed at home every day, hiding in her room alone. She never went out for spring outings with her classmates, never participated in social activities organized by the school, and never went to bars and discos for entertainment.
The only large-scale banquet she attended was her sixteenth birthday party.
At that birthday party, a group of guests who had never met and had various connections with the family came to congratulate her with precious gifts. When she felt that countless eyes of amazement, admiration, and obsession were focused on her,
, Na Manting was shy and nervous, feeling almost suffocated. Before the birthday cake was pushed up, she ran back to her room with a blushing face, and despite her parents' persuasion, she never showed up again.
Na Manting's life circle is too narrow. Except for a few close relatives in that family, she has no close friends. She seems to be detached from the world. Na Gudao and his wife sometimes feel very distressed when they talk about their daughter.
I thought about how my daughter would be able to survive in this world where the jungle is strong and the human heart is treacherous when my husband and I grow old.
For the sake of his daughter's future, Na Gudao even thought that if there was a man who could get along with his daughter and knew how to care for her, then as long as the other man's conditions were not too bad, he would hand his daughter over to him as a lifelong support.
But my daughter doesn’t like to go out to participate in social activities and can’t meet men... After much deliberation, Na Gudao still adopted the idea.
The third brother, Shouma, suggested that Shouma take his daughter for a walk on the streets in the city when he has nothing to do, and get in touch with more people in society. Maybe his daughter will be able to watch it.
Any man who catches your eye will be taken home for "examination". As long as there is no problem with his identity, he can be groomed as a future "son-in-law".
Although this method is absurd, it is also the best solution.
Many things in the world are all about fate, and the same is true for love between men and women. Men and women who are destined to see each other will fall in love with each other and regard the other person as someone worthy of trusting them for life;
Even if they meet every day, there won't be any sparks or intersections between men and women.
Although Na Manting is a "home girl", it does not mean that she does not understand or care about anything. She also has her own thoughts and feelings in her heart, but she never shares them with others.
Na Manting is seventeen years old this year. Most girls of this age group are already in love and ignorant of love. For example, in Na Manting's class, many girls already have boys they like and have a crush on.
A few girls have made "little boyfriends" openly and openly.
Namanting's reluctance to socialize and talk to strangers does not mean that she is a heartless girl. She is just born with an excessive self-protection instinct and awareness. She will feel nervous when encountering strange people and strange things.
She is afraid, and her face will turn red when she is nervous, and she will lower her head when she is afraid. In the eyes of others, she becomes a very shy girl.
When facing strangers, Na Manting will automatically form a "defensive shell" in her heart to keep the other person out. The other person's words and deeds will have no impact on her, but when she is face to face with Xue Tianyi
At the same time, she had a very strange feeling in her heart. It seemed to be a kind of spiritual induction and resonance, which made her feel that Xue Tianyi was a trustworthy person and a person worth talking to, so for Xue Tianyi
, Namanting was undefended.
Seeing that Xue Tianyi was about to finish reading the book, Na Manting's inner emotional fluctuations became more and more intense. When these fluctuations accumulated to a certain extent, they were actually released to the outside, causing fluctuations in the air in front of her. This fluctuation
Like invisible ripples, they surge towards Xue Tianyi.
Xue Tianyi's eyelids twitched, and his mind was moved by it. He subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Na Manting. Seeing that her expression was a little strange, he couldn't help but asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No..." As soon as Xue Tianyi opened her mouth, Man Ting's uneasy heart calmed down a bit. She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that her courage would become much bolder in front of Xue Tianyi.
For the first time in my life, I took the initiative to talk to someone, "What...are you reading?"
Xue Tianyi smiled, without saying a word, and straightened up the book in his hand, with the cover facing Na Manting.
"The world's top ten geological wonders..." Na Manting read softly word by word, with a bit of confusion in her eyes. She didn't understand why Xue Tianyi liked reading such books. These books were not like novels and were not entertaining.
Usually it lies in the corner of the picture, and few people care about it.
"Well, the geological wonders mentioned in this book are all magnificent, wonderful and fascinating! I plan to visit these scenic spots when I have time in the future and enjoy the immersive feeling!"
Xue Tianyi understood the confusion in Na Manting's eyes and explained casually with a smile, but of course he would not say that reading such books would be related to his own practice.
"These ten geological wonders are distributed all over the world. If you want to see them all, it's like traveling around the world. It's great..."
Na Manting said with some envy, thinking that if it were her own words, she would not dare to travel alone. Even if there was someone accompanying her, she would not be in the same mood. She would feel most at ease staying at home.
"What about you? What are you reading?"
Xue Tianyi asked rhetorically, his eyes lingering on Man Ting's pretty face, thinking that such a shy and reserved beautiful girl full of classical flavor should like classical prose with elegant style and beautiful artistic conception.
Facts have proved that his guess was correct. When Namanting followed his example and turned the cover of the book towards him, it turned out to be a book on the study of ancient poetry and ancient novels.
When Xue Tianyi was in Qiankun Mountain, the cave where his master lived contained countless books, most of which were dry and difficult to understand ancient texts. Even the exercises he learned were all recorded in ancient texts. Originally, Xue Tianyi read
I don’t understand, but over the past ten years or so, under Master
With his guidance and hard study, he could easily read those ancient texts. When he read the book in Manting's hand, he suddenly felt a sense of intimacy and started talking more. He simply closed his book and said,
I was interested in discussing ancient Chinese prose with Namanting face to face.
"It turns out that he also likes ancient Chinese literature. I thought that no one else in the world likes to read the literary knowledge left by our Chinese ancestors like me!"
Na Manting was extremely happy in her heart. Although she talked to Xue Tianyi with her eyebrows lowered most of the time, she occasionally dared to look up at Xue Tianyi, but when she met Xue Tianyi's pair of eyes, it seemed that she could see through her.
When she looked into her soul's eyes, she would feel panicked for no reason, and then her eyes would quickly move to the side, her lips pursed slightly, and her pretty face became dizzy.
