After dinner…
Dilireba took Mantou to the living to watch TV.
Qi Weilan and Yue Yingque took care of the dishes while Lu han went upstairs to take a bath.
It was a very peaceful night ...for Dilireba.
At night, Dilireba was drinking milk with mantou.
"Reba jiejie, why are you also drinking milk? Doesn't adults don't drink milk at night?"
Dilireba laughed and pet mantou on the head.
"Who said that?"
"Uncle han said so."
"Humph, he must have done that on purpose knowing I drink milk at night. Mantou, drinking milk at night help you sleep better and is helping you get the nutrients to stay healthy. So drinking milk is a good thing as long as you drink an hour or 2 before you go to bed."
Mantou nodded and his eyes sparkled under the light. [Reba jiejie is so wise. I want to be just as smart as her when I grew up.]

Author 2: I don't really want to agree with you but this time I agree.

Author 4: [Stomps his feet] Humph, just you wait. I will get you next time.

----------------------------
Mantou tugged on Dilireba's shirt lightly and asked, "Reba jiejie, can you tell me a story tonight?"
Mantou stared at Dilireba.
Dilireba cannot reject with his eyes giving her the look, awakening her motherly instinct.
She sighed and nodded.
The little bun who thought she would say no, brightened and his eyes lit up and give her a bright smile.
At this moment, Dilireba felt an arrow shot through her heart. [So...so cute.]
Dilireba hold Mantou's hand as they walk toward Mantou's room.
As they sit on the bed, Dilireba settled herself next to the little bun and tuck him in.
"Mantou, what story would you like to hear me tell? The monkey king? The Princess and the frog?"
"Reba jiejie, I don't want to hear them it is so boring hearing them over and over again. Can you tell me… a story that nobody can tell except you?"
"Hmmm… okay. As you wish. The title of the story is… the girl and the demon."
"There was a girl name Xiao Di."
"Sister, why does the little girl has the same name as you?"
Dilireba stroke the little bun's head and said, "You want a story that can only be told by me, so I am sharing with you what nobody can tell, except for me, it is my life experience and story."
Mantou replied with a "oh." and decided to listen more closely to the story.
Dilireba began again, "There was a girl name Xiao Di. She was born into a happy and wealthy family. She loved her parents and lived up to their expectations and they doted on her a lot. She had always played with a brother and sister since they were young and are very close to each other. They would always stick together even though elementary and middle school. However, during high school they went separate ways, but they are always in touch with each other. On the first day of school, she is running late because she was lost, luckily she bumped into a guy that helped her. The guy turns out to be one of the delinquines or the bad student at school, however, the two became friends very quickly. Later, she found out that he was actually very smart and kind but was mistaken because of his playful look and family troubles. Throughout highschool they helped each other and was able to stay in touch even when the guy was a year older than her. Whenever she had a problem or a situation, he would always be there to help her.
However because of an emergency, Xiao DI had to go to America for 3 months then England for another 4 months. Because the trip is so sudden and she doesn't want the boy to feel sad so, the girl didn't tell the boy. They don't have each other's contact because Xiao Di's parents don't want phones to influence Xiao Di and would usually send Emails to her computer. Although she did want to send the boy an email, his account was blocked and become unavailable. Xiao Di learn music and martial arts aboard before returning home.
However on the day she got home, she found out that she is going to get married the next day. Xiao Di's mother and the groom's mother are good sisters and arranged a marriage on the day they found out that one is a girl while the other is a boy. Although Xiao DI knew that she could tell her mother she didn't want the marriage then she would do her best to cancel the wedding, however Xiao DI doesn't want her mother to fall apart with her friend because of unsuccessful engagement, so she told her mom that she would take the wedding and divorce 2 months after. Although Xiao DI wanted to ask why did her mom only tell her now, she understands that her mom doesn't want her studies to be affected by anything.
The groom and the bride married and exchanged their vows. Although this is luxurious and beautiful, deep down Xiao DI wasn't very happy and knew this was a fake marriage. She wants nothing more but to run away, however she couldn't. Right after their wedding, the two signed a contract and said to never interfere with each other. However, Xiao Di neer knew that the groom was a devil in disguise, everytime she went out and did something wrong, no matter how small it is she would be scolded and punished. She wanted to tell him she had her own temper too, but dare not to fight back in case her mother would hear and worry about her and cause a line between her mom and sister. Nevertheless, the devil's family treat her well and dote on her as if she is their daughter. Nevertheless, she wanted nothing more but don't have anything to do with the devil. However she knew that she only need to endure a few more days."
Dilireba sighed and looked at the little bun besides her and was taken back.
"Mantou… are you okay? Is anywhere uncomfortable?"
The little bun besides her was quivering and his eyes were moist. Then suddenly he rubbed his eyes and look at Dilireba in determination.
"Reba jiejie, you are going to break up with that bad guy right?"
Dilireba nodded.
"Then… Reba jiejie wait for me, when I grow up I will marry you and make that bad guy regret!"
Dilireba look at the little bun and didn't take the word seriously since he was but a child.
But because of his words she felt warm inside.
Soon after, the little bun felt drowsy and fall asleep.
Dilireba quietly and softly step out of his room and silently closes his door not wanting to disturb him. She went back to her room.
She sighed and looked at her phone and noticed how many messages there are. After reading them, she replied to each one except.. Deng Lun.
