In the first story, she talks about Marina Castelblanco, a four-year-old girl who dreams of her ideal vacation, which is to the Amusement Parks in Los Angeles; But, due to things in life and the Coronavirus that has left several people without work, including his family, they will not be able to grant him his vacation.

	Then, Marina, begins to devise a plan to raise money and thus help her family and so does her sister, Laura.

	The Castelblanco family, seeing what Marina and Laura have done, are moved by her sweet gesture and do everything to make Marina's dream come true, who is the only one who has not traveled.

	In the second story, he talks about the dreams of Oscar who, dreams of being a chef and his mother, helps him to begin to realize his dream.

	In the third story, she talks about how Bianca who dreams of being a make-up artist and masseuse and how her family helps her realize her dream.

	Three stories, in which children, give us a strong lesson in strength, love, desire to move on and how you always have to make dreams come true; especially the dreams of children.

Jackie Walker Fox glanced over at her children peering eagerly out the window as their Air Canada flight touched down in Tampa.  Eight-year-old Grant and six-year-old Emma had chattered excitedly during the entire three-hour flight from Toronto.  

Seeing them so happy thrilled Jackie.  Grant and Emma were generally happy children, truthfully, despite the fact that their father had left the three of them a few years earlier.  David Fox hadnt appreciated the remoteness of Lake Miranda Lodge, the family-run northern Ontario guest lodge where Jackie and her brother Blake had been raised.  

Of course, both Jackie and Blake had grown up and left Lake Miranda, going their own ways.  But when their father Jim had suffered a stroke, Jackie had volunteered to return to run the place, so their parents could retire to Florida.  She and her now-ex-husband David had made it work for a while, but hed missed his suburban lifeand his girlfriend, shed found out later.

Fiercely independent and determined though she was, raising her children solo while running the day to day operations at the lodge had proven nearly beyond her ability, so when Blake had given up his job as a wilderness counselor and returned home to help, shed been more than grateful.  Together, along with a small staff, they were slowly bringing the family business into the twenty-first century.  

Not that the lodge was always booked to capacity.  There were times when Jackie worried whether theyd be able to stay afloat.  But with Blakes help, theyd expanded the property to include several remote cabins, accessible by Blakes bush plane.   

As the airliners aisle began to clear, Jackie stood and reached into the overhead bin to retrieve her black carry-on.  Get all your things, she instructed the children.  Lets go see Grandma and Grandpa.

Even before the children saw them, Jackie spied her parents waiting just beyond the secure area.  She grinned broadly and waved, alerting Grant.  

Grandpa!  Grandma! he shouted, running to meet them.  

Emma, not to be outdone, was right on his heels, launching herself into her grandfathers arms.  

Hi, sweet stuff, Ann Walker said, hugging her grandson tightly.  Im so happy to see you.

Grandma guess what? Emma squealed, releasing her grandfather.  Were going to Disney!

Eyes wide, Ann clapped her hands together.  I know!  I heard your exciting news.  But Im so glad youre going to visit with us for a little bit first.  We live on the beach.

Emma frowned.  You live on the beach?  Doesnt your stuff get all sandy?  What do you do when it rains?

Grant rolled his eyes.  They dont live on the beach, dummy.  They live in a condom on the beach.

Thats condo, there, chief, Jackie laughed.   How are you, Mom and Dad?  She hugged each of them affectionately.  

Were just fine, beautiful, her father said.  Months of therapy had done wonders, Jackie saw.  While the stroke had been mild, Jim Walker had undergone intensive rehabilitation, regaining his speech and the near-unlimited use of his right side.  He had only a slight limp to remind them of the stroke that had prompted the couples retirement.  

What do you say, we go get your bags, and on the drive home, well stop for ice cream? Ann was saying as she took a child on each hand.

Yes!  Ice cream! Emma shouted, pumping a fist in the air.

Jackie laughed, slipping an arm around her fathers waist.  These kids are going to be so spoiled by the time we get back to Lake Miranda.

Jim winked at her.  Youre welcome!

Su Wan sat in the passenger seat of the Koenigsegg Agera R. She opened the window to get some fresh air, but she suddenly saw Xu Ziyao standing at the door, watching the Koenigsegg disappear into the distance.
Su Wan froze slightly. When she was talking to Jiang Haoxuan earlier, Xu Ziyao had clearly gone in with Luo Xiuxiu and the others.
She did not expect Xu Ziyao to actually come out to see them off again. That woman was no longer young. Her face was still dignified and beautiful, but her usually cold eyes were now filled with reluctance and longing.
A trace of emotion flashed across Su Wan's almond-shaped eyes, even though Xu Ziyao played a role in the heart of Jiang Xuecheng that he did not like.
However, she had to admit that Xu Ziyao's love for her children was very strong, enough for her to be called a qualified mother.
Her concern for Jiang Xuecheng was real. Perhaps her actions were sometimes a little inappropriate, but it was only out of a kind of mother's love and protection for her children.
Putting herself in Xu Ziyao's shoes, Su Wan couldn't guarantee that she could do better than Xu Ziyao if her son had a strange disease.
A trace of absent-mindedness appeared in Su Wan's eyes. When she recalled how Xu Ziyao had told Jiang Haoxuan that it was fine as long as he was happy, she suddenly had some respect for Xu Ziyao.
How many parents in this world could prioritize their children's wishes in their marriage?
Su Wan could tell that Jiang Xuecheng actually didn't have too deep a prejudice against Xu Ziyao. It was just that the shadow of his childhood made it difficult for him and Xu Ziyao to be as close as a normal mother and son.
She hoped that one day, Jiang Xuecheng's and Xu Ziyao's relationship could be slightly eased and not be as cold and distant as it was now.
A tree wishes for quiet, but the wind does not stop. A child wishes to be nurtured, but the family does not wait.
The things that she had experienced over the past few days had made Su Wan deeply realize how good it was to have a family member by her side who cared about her.
The bonds between family members were so wonderful. If the other party was truly treating you well, it was a blessing from God. Never wait until you lose it to regret.
When you have it, you should cherish it the most.
...
Probably because it was a Sunday, many roads in S City were crowded. Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng had just driven out of the Jiang family's old mansion for a short distance when they were blocked on the road!
Su Wan supported her chin with one hand and looked out of the window in boredom.
A female traffic policeman in uniform was directing the traffic. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, but the sun was still a little hot, and the temperature in the air was shocking.
Su Wan sat in the Koenigsegg and looked at the female traffic police officer from a distance. A hint of respect flashed in her heart.
From such a distance, she could see that the sweat on the female traffic police officer's face was like rain, and beads of sweat kept coming out.
It was not easy on such a hot day...
As the provincial capital city, S City was developed relatively early. The roads in the old city subdivision were not very spacious, and when it was time to go to work, it was common for traffic to be blocked.
For example, the new city subdivision where Fontainebleau was located was much more reasonable in terms of road planning than the old city subdivision. The roads were very spacious, and there were many overpasses. They often led to the same destinations, which could produce many kinds of travel options.
It was said that the old city subdivision would also speed up its transformation, but the specific planning was still under discussion, and there were no relevant regulations.
Su Wan looked at the various scenery outside the window out of boredom, and suddenly saw a large sign of The City Hospital of S City.
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat as she recalled Luo Xiuxiu's previous question.
Although she and Jiang Xuecheng had not been married for long, the two of them spent almost every night together.
They still did not have any children. Could there really be something wrong with their bodies?
Su Wan had been persuaded by Lin Fei'er before. She said that a person with a visceral dysfunction like her should go and find an old Chinese medicine doctor to take a good look and recuperate.
Unlike Zhao Hua Hospital which specialized in western medicine, The City Hospital of S City was more specialized in the field of Chinese medicine, and there were several famous old Chinese medicine doctors in charge.
Su Wan's almond-shaped eyes flashed. She stared straight at the sign of The City Hospital of S City, wondering if she should find a time to ring up an expert and carefully check her condition.
Just as Su Wan was lost in her thoughts, the congested traffic gradually dispersed. Jiang Xuecheng started the engine and drove the car to slowly accelerate.
Seeing the sign of The City Hospital of S City disappear in front of her eyes, Su Wan was startled and suddenly woke up.
"Wan Wan, what happened to you? What were you looking at just now?"
Jiang Xuecheng glanced at Su Wan casually, and his voice was as light as the spring breeze.
Su Wan thought about her words for two seconds. She looked at Jiang Xuecheng quietly, and her voice was a little panicked.
"Xuecheng, don't you think that we've been married for so long but have no children? Could it be that one of us has a health problem that makes it difficult for pregnancy?"
Hearing Su Wan's anxious words, Jiang Xuecheng raised his eyebrows, and a hint of mockery appeared on his face.
"Wan Wan, you're worrying too much. How could there be a problem between the two of us in this aspect? Are you afraid because of grandmother's words?"
Seeing Su Wan nod her head, Jiang Xuecheng smiled in understanding and then shook his head helplessly.
"Wan Wan, don't listen to grandmother's theory. She's just anxious to have a grandchild. Most couples only have children within a year. There are very few like Haoxuan and your friend."
Although Jiang Xuecheng was so optimistic, Su Wan still did not feel relieved. She pursed her lips and asked hesitantly.
"What if... what if we don't have children within a year?"
Jiang Xuecheng was stunned and shook his head subconsciously. He took a deep look at Su Wan, and his handsome face looked like he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Wan Wan, how is that possible? Don't worry too much..."
The more confident Jiang Xuecheng was, the more worried Su Wan became.
"Xuecheng, I'm not joking. I'm really scared..."
If there was something wrong with her and Jiang Xuecheng's bodies, which meant that they would not have any children in the future, what kind of regret would that be?
When Su Wan thought of this, she could not help but feel uneasy.
Su Wan had always thought that she hated naughty children, but ever since she married Jiang Xuecheng, she had been looking forward to giving birth to a pair of twins.
If not twins, it would be good if they could have a son and a daughter. The boy would be like him and the girl like her. Whenever Su Wan thought of this, she would be so happy that the corners of her mouth would curl up into a smile.
Women were born with the ability to give birth, but having a child that she was willing to give birth to and was looking forward to giving birth to must be because she loved that man deeply.
Seeing Su Wan's extremely serious expression, Jiang Xuecheng's forehead twitched, and his deep voice sounded even more helpless.
"Alright, then let's find some time to go for a checkup together. Chinese medicine and Western medicine, we'll take a look at each, how about it?"
"That's great!"
Hearing this, Su Wan let out a long sigh of relief. The corners of her lips curled up, and the dimples on her cheeks were shallow.
She believed that after the checkup, the haze in her heart would disperse.


After being betrayed by her fiancé and her cousin sister, she accidentally rescued an elegant but indifferent young master.  Never did she expect to marry him and surprised many!
“Sir, Young Madam took a fancy to an expensive jade.” 
He looked up and replied with a casual air, “No matter the price, buy it for her!”
“Sir, Young Madam is fighting with others!” 
His face darkened and he immediately ordered, “Get her a few more men.  Make sure she doesn’t lose.  How dare they bully my wife?”
“Sir, Young Madam has been reported having an affair with a man!” Upon hearing this, he could bear no more and dashed out without a second thought.

On the streets of the market of Dragnof´s capital, Aversia and Zeldairs were looking at the different wares that were sold there. It ranged from exotic fruits, to carpets, to weapons and armor. 
They didn´t have many chances to come to this place, since they didn't have much free time and in their free time were they most of the time playing with other children, watched Vulcan at his work or were shown many places or things by either Challot, Emrissen, Irene or Belserian.
But, the two of them still loved the market the most, because of the different things that were sold here and that there was always something new to see.
Challot, Emrissen and Vulcan followed the two half dragons from behind and were watching the two as they were looking at ethery thing that was displayed at the stalls.
Aversia was interested at the weapons, armors and accessories made from metals.
She was really interested in her father´s work and forging in general.
Zeldaris was also interested at the weapons and armors, but not as much as Aversia and was more interested at the different kind´s of food and magical objects.
He found the art of enchanting and Irene´s and Vulcan´s art of enchantment very interesting and even more by Vulcan´s try of combining forging and enchantment.
Both also had a love for books, they read almost every day and about almost everything.
Of course, Challot and Emrissen made sure that the two wouldn´t get their hand on mature books.
They continued like this, until they were at the last and most important stall, were books were sold.
The merchant at the stall was an old man, who was always smoking on a pipe.
"Ah, if it isn´t the two half dragons. How can I help you today?" asked the old man as he saw the two.
"Old man do you have anything new?" asked Zeldaris.
"Or something you would recommend?" asked Aversia.
"Let me think, I believe there was something interesting in the new books."
He looked trough the piles of books.
"There they are. I have two books that should be interesting for you. The first is an encyclopedia about humanoid races and the second is about celestial magic."
Both Aversia and Zeldaris were immediately interested and looked at their parents with puppy eyes, who all had a wry smile on their face.
Vulcan paid for the books, but didn't gave Aversia and Zeldaris the books, because he noticed that the two exhaled warm air.
He turned around and looked at Challot and Emrissen, who in turn looked very concerned because they knew what this meant and that this was really the worst timing possible.
The two half dragons didn´t notice anything strange, except that is got a little hot, but were more concerned that Vulcan didn´t gave them their books.
The two dragons quickly grabbed their children, used their magic to form their wings and flew of with the two half dragons, who were to surprised at their mother´s actions to react.
And a few seconds later came a two-meter-long grey flame out of both half dragons' mouth.
The surprised merchant looked at Vulcan and asked, "What was that?"
Vulcan, who looked at the fast disappearing Challot and Emrissen said, "A close call and really bad timing."
"For what?"
"They are developing their dragon´s breath and as far as I know dragons can´t control their breaths at the beginning and become walking flamethrowers who spew constantly fire and burn down everything in their vicinity."
The old merchant and Vulcan imagine what would have happened if Challot and Emrissen hadn´t reacted so fast.
The whole market area and a good part of the city would have been burned down.
And imagine this image, both were sweating bullets.
In the meantime, Challot and Emrissen arrived at one of the castles courtyards with the two flamethrowers, who in turn where overwhelmed by everything that happened.
The dragons were sighing in relief, made their wings disappear and sat down on a nearby bench and watched as Aversia and Zeldaris were continuing to spew flames, with a nostalgic look on their faces.
A few moments later and the two half dragons were finally able to work through everything that happened and realized that they were spewing flames from their mouths.
Initially overjoyed that they finally developed their dragon´s breath, but they soon realized that they couldn´t stop and started to panic.
"Don't worry, your body´s need to adjust to your breath and you will be able to stop spewing flames. Although that may take a while. For example, Challot needed one hours before being able to stop and mine was one and a half hours. So good luck and hopefully your jaws won´t hurt too much."
Both Challot and Emrissen started to laugh and thought back to the time of their first-time breathing fire and their parents laughing at them.
Although they were concerned over the grey flames that the two were breathing.
They felt ancient and felt as if they had no element, but at the same time had.
Was this magic at in its purest form and if so why were Aversia and Zeldaris able to wield it?
Questions upon questions were filling their heads, to which they knew none of the answers, but they were pulled out of their thoughts as they felt someone approaching.
It was Irene and Belserion and as they saw the situation the two half dragons were in and laughed.
"Ah, I can finally understand why parents find it so funny when their children develop their dragon´s breath."
"I was always wondering how it looks like when a dragon develops their dragon´s breath. But isn't it a little too small?"
"Well, they are only half dragons and most of their power´s are sealed, so I am not surprised that their flames are so small. But I have to say that I was worried, those two are after all their children and I feared that they would burn down half the city."
"Really, how big are the flames normally for the first time?"
"About 10 Meters for a normal dragon."
Belserion looked at Challot and Emrissen who were discussing something and continued," When it comes to stronger dragons, like those two monsters, I can´t say for certain."
"They are late bloomers and are going to surpass you and who are you calling monster?" yelled Emrissen.
"Since when is the length of the flame important and why are you concerned about it. Also, for us normal dragons are you two monsters."
And just after he finished, he was hit by Emrissen´s fist and was lying on the floor.
"Just because we were from birth stronger, doesn´t make us monsters and even if we are, you haven't seen the true monsters of the dragon race."
(He really needs to watch his words around those two)
Vulcan arrived after about 30 minutes and smiled wryly at what he saw.
Challot and Emrissen were grilling some food with Aversia´s and Zeldaris´s flame, Irene was mending Belserion, who was lying on the floor, with a fist mark on his head.
(He really needs to watch his language around them.)
"So, they are still at it, by the way can´t they just close their mouths to stop breathing fire."
 When Aversia and Zeldaris heard this, they rolled with their eyes as to say, "Thank you, captain obvious".
 "Thank you, captain, obvious, but it is not so easy, because if they do, the fire will go another route and that is to the most part unpleasant and most importantly if they did, we wouldn´t be able to grill right now." Said Challot holding a grilled fish.
"You two really are sometimes too much, you know that?"
"Isn´t it part of why you are together with Emrissen. Oh, and could you do as a favor and bring two vases with water. I think they are almost finished."
Surprised, Vulcan looked closer at the flames and indeed, they were getting weaker.
Vulcan ran of in order to find some water, while the two half dragons grew exited that it was almost over.
Five minutes later and Vulcan brought two huge vases and placed them besides the two.
The flames were almost out, and smoke began to come out of their mouths.
The second the flames were completely out, drank the two half dragons the water in the vases and drank almost all the water in them.
Steam came out of their mouths the moment they finished drinking and they started to massage their jaws.
"Congratulations you have successfully developed your dragon´s breath and took a very important step. Now go on, show us what you can do." Said Challot.
Aversia and Zeldaris continued to massage their jaw for a minute.
After their jaws didn´t hurt so much anymore, did they strongly breath in and breath out and breathed out a four-meter long grey flame.
This time the flame was much stronger and more brilliant.
"So, they finally show their strength."
"What did you expect Emrissen, they are our children."

I suck at writting a synopsis, so I am going to explain the premis of the story.
The story has two Mc´s Zeldaris and Aversia, both of them are half dragons and are born a few years before the dragon king festival and the creation of the dragon slayers.
They will travel with Natsu and the other dragon slayers into the future and will also join Fairy Tail.
This is my first time writing, so iwould appriciate if you could point out my mistakes.
Updates will be 1 chapter a week.

CHARLOTTE

I look through old papers, riffling through, seeing snatches of words, phrases...´Ward of the court´...´, ...taken into care...´, ´...single parent deemed unfit...´

...and stapled to the paper, an old photograph, tiny, curled up at the corners and badly creased.

A woman looks out at me; young, pale-skinned and red-haired. Her eyes are badly shadowed. She looks ill. On the back, a name, “Michelle Conners.”

-----

ELIZABETH

After a few minutes of talking quietly with Richard, Will turns back to Charlotte.

“Charlotte... Miss Conners?

She holds a small, very dog-eared photo in her hand, her eyes glossy. “Yes, Mr Stanton? And it´s okay. It´s ´Charlotte´.” Her former antagonism has vanished.

Will hesitates, looking at the photo in her hand. “Thank you, Charlotte. And it´s ´Will´.”

She nods, smiling. He continues. “Charlotte. I can´t give you that file, but there´s no reason I can´t have it scanned and copied for you, including the photo, if you would like?”

She sucks on her lips, her voice small. “Yes. Please.”

“Do feel able to talk some more?”

She nods. I notice Richard nodding, discreetly, to Ross, a quiet gesture telling him to fill Charlotte´s wine glass. Michael´s hand, I notice, is back, holding hers.

James said that he´s her Rock...

Will speaks. “Charlotte. You have mentioned that sometimes, the children you knew at Blessingmoors would simply disappear, taken away. Can you tell me any more about that?”

“All I really know is that at about fourteen or fifteen, we just didn´t see them anymore. We were told that the older ones were moved on, to another home, for seniors, but we never ever heard back from any of them.”

“None of them?”

She shrugs. “Not that I ever saw.”

“So, for your purposes, the older teenagers simply vanished?”

She nods, then stares at the ground.

“What about the younger ones? Did they ever disappear?”

“Sometimes, usually if they´d been beaten hard. We´d be told they were taken from the Infirmary to a hospital, but sometimes, they didn´t come back.”

James interrupts. “You told me Charlotte, that you were in the Infirmary on one occasion?”

“Yes, I´d run away, again. I was always caught sooner or later, and the Police would bring me back...” She stares at Will for a moment, who blushes and looks down. “... We were always beaten for running away. That time, yes, I ended up in the Infirmary. They told the Social Worker I´d been drinking and taken a fall down the stairs...”

“Did children ever disappear from the Infirmary itself?”

“Well, the kids would go in there sometimes, and we wouldn´t see them again, if that´s what you mean.”

“And you have no idea where they went?”

Charlotte is silent, staring down. Her breathing is quickening, her face pale. At first, I think we have lost her, but then, her words visibly being forced out...

“You know there were cellars there, right?”

“Yes, we know about the cellars. The whole premises were, of course, searched at the time, before it was demolished.”

Richard interrupts. “When we took the building down last year, the cellars were filled in and covered over, as part of the rebuilding program, both of them.”

Charlotte looks up. “Both of them?”

“Yes, both of them.”

“Richard, there were three cellars in that place...”

-----

MICHAEL

“Charlotte, you don´t have to do this.”

“I think I do.”

I hold her hand as we stand together at the demolished site of the old Blessingmoors institution. Now a wasteland of rubble awaiting redevelopment in the new City Project, the only pointers to the old buildings are the road layout and a few hard to identify pillars and gateposts. Nonetheless, we believe we are standing on what was once the threshold of the Blessingmoors building.

Charlotte is pale, even more so than usual, and her hand, as I hold it, is clammy. James is here, his face a mask, as he stands, hands in pockets, simply watching, but his eyes follow her everywhere as she steps over the rubble.

The others; Haswell, Stanton, and a variety of investigators in white paper coveralls, also stand by, watching.

“I´m sorry,” she says. “I just don´t recognise any of it. There´s nothing here to recognise.”

“Perhaps with your eyes closed?” I suggest. “Start at some known point and see if you can walk in the dark? Keep hold of my hand. I won´t let you stumble.”

She doesn´t speak, simply nodding as she licks her dry lips. She turns to Haswell. “This was the front entrance?”

“Yes.”

Then, closing her eyes, gripping my hand tightly, “I´ll try. I was smaller then, of course. And it was a long time ago.”

Stepping forward. “There were three steps, up into the hallway.” I steady her as she walks.

She continues. “There was a door here.” She indicates ahead. “Then a corridor and another door.” Eyes still closed, she opens invisible doors, walking through unseen halls.

She waves to one side. “That´s a staircase, up to the dorms.” Stanton is beside us now, examining some old document. I glance at him, not liking to ask. He holds up the sheet; a tattered floor plan. As Charlotte speaks, he is comparing her words with the plan, nodding agreement.

We walk a little further. She indicates the other way. That´s the corridor to the kitchens. Two of the cellars came off from there. I think one was an old coal cellar. The other was just general storage.”

Stanton nods. “Yes, we know about those.”

She hesitates, her face churning.

“What´s wrong?”

“I can smell it... It´s got to be just in my head, but I can smell the place.”

“What does it smell of?”

“... dust, the children, disinfectant, cabbage... I don´t know. It´s just how it smelled. I´d never thought about it before, but it feels like...” She pauses, swallowing hard.

“You okay?”

“Yes.”

“Want to take a break?”

“No. I want to do this.”

We keep walking. Everyone is with us now, walking quietly behind us as Charlotte continues her blind walk in the dark.

She waves vaguely ahead of her. The main stairs were here. Upstairs was the staff area, where they lived. I was never up there. I think they had bedrooms and a common room, but I never saw it.” She veers to one side. “But there was another door here, by the side of the stairs.”

Stanton looks puzzled, looking at his plan. “Are you sure of that, Charlotte? It shows a blank wall here.”

She nods, vigorously. “I´m sure. The door was sort of under the stairs. You would only see it if you knew it was there. But it led to another cellar, the one they used as a punishment room.”

“Alright,” says Stanton. “You´ve done enough.” Then he turns to me. “Get her out of here.” Waving over to the white coveralled technicians. “Geophys, over here.”

I pull Charlotte away, nodding James to join us. “C´mon, we´re leaving.”

Charlotte resists. “You´re not staying here,” I say. Still, she hesitates. “Charlotte, I´ll drag you off if I have to. You´re not staying here.”

“And I´ll help him,” says James.

Reluctantly, she comes with us.

“Let´s go to the Centre,” I say. “You can have a swim, and I´ll give you a massage.”

Finally, she nods, really looking as though she agrees.

“I´ll join you in a while,” says James. “I want a word with Haswell and Stanton.”

Si Yehan silently stared at the screen full of messages from Ye Wanwan, especially at the "We've slept together and we have a five-year-old child!" part. 
We have a five-year-old child…
Heh, if that was the truth, it would probably be the most blessed thing that had ever happened to him… 
Back then, in the thick of their passion, he once casually said: "If we have a child in the future…" but was interrupted by her before he could finish. He could clearly remember the panic and rejection in her expression as she said she didn't like children at all and definitely wouldn't have any… 
It wasn't that she didn't like children; she merely didn't want to have children with him, right? 
Ever since then, he had never brought up this topic again. 
…
Ye Wanwan had no idea that Si Yehan had sunken into a deeper and sourer sea of vinegar by this point. Instead, she was flipping through the missions she accepted last time to see which one she could finish in the shortest amount of time and obtain her honor points. 
Right now, she urgently wanted to recover her memories, especially the ones with Si Yehan. 
In her previous hypnosis sessions, she truly didn't recover many memories related to Si Yehan. 
Last time, she finished an S+-rank mission and an S-rank mission and broke two records, earning 45,000 honor points. 
Five thousand more honor points and she could request a third hypnosis session from the headmaster. 
However, what was tragic was that she still owed the headmaster 20,000 honor points, and that old fox probably wouldn't get tricked so easily this time and allow her to have an outstanding account again.
So she probably needed to get her hands on more honor points first. 
In other words, combined with the 20,000 honor points she owed, she needed 25,000 honor points. 
Finishing one S+ or S rank missions would be enough, but that was easier said than done. 
She couldn't trick her way through all of the high-ranked missions. 
"Eh, which one should I do? These lousy missions are too difficult…"
Ye Wanwan was going to turn bald from her worry. "What's this? Steal back Scarlet Flames Academy's school monument? Huh? What does stealing back Scarlet Flames Academy's school monument mean? A school monument can be stolen?"
"That thing is such an old and big piece of rock. It wasn't worth anything nor was it engraved with any secret martial techniques. It was only engraved with the words 'Scarlet Flames Academy' and the academy's rules and motto, so who would be so bored as to steal such a thing?" 
Seven Star replied, "Seven years ago, the school monument at the entrance of Scarlet Flames Academy vanished without a trace. The next day, someone discovered the culprit leaving behind the name of Heavenly Hatred's leader, Jiang Lihen." 
"People say Jiang Lihen used to be a student at Scarlet Flames Academy and was also an SSS-rank mercenary. In the end, he was expelled from Scarlet Flames Academy due to seriously violating the rules. Jiang Lihen nursed this grievance in his heart, so…"
"So he stole Scarlet Flames Academy's school monument?" Ye Wanwan finished. 
"Yes," Seven Star responded.
"This person's way of thinking is truly odd!"
This revenge was seriously revolting. I won't attack you or kill you; I'll just directly take your school monument with the school rules!
This was an extraordinary source of shame and humiliation to such an ancient and well-known academy!
Seven Star elaborated, "Because of this, the higher-ups at Scarlet Flames Academy were furious and issued this S-rank mission to all the students. This mission is open to everyone in the Independent State, not just members of the Academy. As long as they can help retrieve the school monument, Scarlet Flames will give a generous reward. Unfortunately, it's been seven years but not a single person was able to retrieve the school monument."
Ye Wanwan rubbed her chin, realization dawning on her. "Tut tut, no wonder it's worth so many honor points…"


“How perverted is Si Ye Han's taste? He still wants me like this?” Waking up, she looked at her reflection in the mirror: explosive wig, tattoos, and demon-like makeup. Any normal person’s eyes would burn if they looked at her for more than a second.
Before her rebirth, she was in love with a different guy, so all she wanted to do was escape from Si Ye Han and hated him to his core after being locked up by him. 
After her rebirth, she looked differently at him, thinking that maybe he changed for the better?
In the past, her mind was muddled. She let go of a stunning husband, was hurt by a scumbag and backstabber and most of all, was brainwashed by her most trusted friend. In the end, she was utterly alone.
In her current lifetime, there are evil people scheming and eagerly waiting for her downfall. Sorry, but this girl won’t fall for the same tricks twice! 

The next day, Wang Hao got up early to exercise, and then came back to take a shower. After finishing it earlier, Zhang Xin and Zhang Nan walked out with sullen eyes.

"Early, get it ready, you hurry to eat, today to fill out the volunteer, I will go first." Wang Hao said to the two.

"Brother, goodbye." Zhang Xin and Zhang Nan nodded and said.

After being separated from the two, Wang Hao walked towards the school and stepped into the school gate again. He found that other people were looking at themselves with the same eyes as rare animals. He suddenly had a bitter smile on his face. He is now experiencing Lan Wei. The treatment last year.

Even he was already on the character column, saw his own picture and a brief introduction, juxtaposed with Lan Wei.

"Wang Hao." Wang Hao, who was about to lift his foot, suddenly heard a crisp female voice ringing behind him.

"Squad leader." Wang Hao nodded gently. For Ma Ling, he did not have any offensive feelings. Any beautiful and responsible squad leader who is so responsible can hardly make people feel sick.

"Wang Hao, listening to Ma Ye said, are you going to Yanda?" Ma Ling walked a few steps with the newspaper and walked with Wang Hao, asking curiously.

"Yes." Wang Hao nodded softly. He had decided to go to Yanda. While walking in the mountains, Zhao Chun and Wang Hao had a lot of conversations. The views on the university and Yanda's culture all let him have A trace of interest, there is an urge to take a look at Yan Da.

"You are really hidden." Ma Ling's eyes expressed some emotion. When she saw the newspaper in her hand for the first time, her heart was shocked, but more touched. She never thought of it. People of her similar age actually have such feelings.

She was able to save money and thrift and wanted to do something for the children in the village. At this time, she really understood the other party. Why did she never participate in the weekend activities of the class since the first grade of high school. She thought that she was resting on the weekend. When the students went shopping together, Wang Hao was already in the mountains.

Teaching those children, carrying very heavy books for the children into the mountains, only for those children to have better reading conditions, she did not expect that Wang Hao was actually Lan Wei 's teacher, Wang Hao .. A more responsible young man, this is Ma Ling's assessment of Wang Hao.

"What's wrong." After listening to Ma Ling's words, Wang Hao thought he was talking about the reasons for hiding his achievements in the past three years.

"Here, see for yourself." Ma Ling passed the newspaper in her hand.

Wang Hao took it and looked at it. When he looked at the front page headline, he suddenly froze and read it carefully. The title was his name. The eighteen-year-old was Wang Hao's talent.

"Wang Hao, an ordinary and ordinary name. After a college entrance examination, people who paid attention to the college entrance examination all over the country recognized Wang Hao, the champion of Xijiang Province. Today we say that it is not Wang Hao's achievement, but Wang Hao did since he entered high school Thing.

An unexpected encounter brought the author to Wang Hao, who had just participated in the college entrance examination. It also gave the author a clear understanding of what Wang Hao has done in the past three years, as well as Wang Hao, who was hidden in secret and dedicated. An eight-year-old boy has a responsibility that most people do not have. "

"In order to make the children in the mountains have better reading conditions, Wang Hao took out most of his living expenses, and bought books for the children in the deep mountains with extremely poor conditions.

In order to allow children in the mountains to enjoy normal education, Wang Hao rides a bicycle for three hours every weekend and walks for another three hours on the mountain road. It takes six hours a day, just to allow children in the mountains to be treated with External education is no different.

Maybe everyone will have questions, can a high school student teach these children well Remember last year's Xijiang province, the blue champion called a miracle? Wang Hao is Lan Wei's tutor ...

The last thing I want to say is that Wang Hao 's support for all the children in the mountain village is given by Wang Hao 's parents. For Wang Hao 's specific content, you can watch the CCTV Documentary Channel at 8pm, a documentary, and the Chinese youth. . "

Wang Hao finished reading the newspaper seriously and laughed helplessly in his heart. He could describe his life in such a detailed way. He did n't even need to think about it because it was written by the CCTV reporter Sun Yan, and he did n't expect it. It was a short film, but now it has become a documentary.

"Wang Hao, I want to tell you, sorry, I misunderstood you before, but why didn't you say it." Ma Ling said with a shameful face.

"It's not necessary." Wang Hao shook his head, not only the answer that the other party said sorry, but also the answer why he didn't say, "Let's go, time is coming."

Ma Ling's tone was dull, and his face was a little depressed. He glanced at Wang Hao and walked towards the classroom. If someone else was willing to talk to her, she met Wang Hao. UU reading books www.uukanshu.com

At this time in the CCTV building, the chief editor's office in the documentary channel area.

"Sun Yan, you did a very good job this time, and actually let you discover something with such positive energy." The editor-in-chief looked at the huge impact of Wang Hao, and countless people were talking about caring for children in poor mountain areas. .

This is still the case for an 18-year-old boy, not to mention these grown-ups. When he first saw the report written by Sun Yan, he couldn't believe it all over his face. After many studies, he tried his best This report spread through multiple channels.

"Editor, I also found it by accident." Sun Yan was a little excited on her face. She also hoped that more people would join in so that children in poor mountain areas could get a good education.

If Sun Yan is a harmonious place, then the office of the Mayor of Gan City is furious.

"Look at what you are doing, you are saying that there are no more poverty-stricken mountain areas in Gancheng, and the education of the children has been properly resolved." The mayor put the newspaper on the table, he was not angry that the city he managed was Report such things.

Several middle-aged men bowed their heads and reprimanded silently. There was the director of education in Gancheng and the leaders of various departments.

He has always attached great importance to children's education. The reason why he is angry is that no one has reported this matter, and the content reported to him is all good.

"Check if there are similar villages in Gancheng. In addition, a special project is drawn from the municipal government. This fund is only for solving the education problems of children in mountain areas." The mayor of Gancheng is somewhat ashamed. This is his responsibility. He will not go. Dodge, but find a way to remedy.

"It seems that I have to go down and walk often, and seeing is believing." The Gancheng Mayor sent a few people to leave with emotion.

“Hao Brother … I failed …” A young man stood in front of Wang Hao, his face lost his soul.

“I don’t understand in business. This is a database made in my spare time. You can use it .. It can accommodate one million players.” Wang Hao said lightly.

“…” The young man looked demented .. His face couldn’t believe it.

A research and development center located in the old forest of the deep mountain has gathered the eyes of everyone around the world. Just because there is a result from time to time, it has attracted the nerves of the world and technology has changed lives, and Wang Hao is only studying one technology at a time.

Sunday, continued …
Officer Kang having hit a sensitive point decided to press his advantage "Mr Lu we have been generous to you and your lawyer. We have statements from both police officers, CCTV footage and Madam Hou's statement that confirms your admissions as to being involved in that matter, telephone logs and even a statement from a Lu Corporation employee that confirms that you made a telephone call."
"It is a lie. I had nothing to do with that incident."
Officer Kang, decided to push, and drive him a little crazier, "Mr Lu, you are lying. You admitted to Madam Hou that you made statements that ended up in her assault."
"It is a lie; she was the cause of her own assault."
"Mr Lu, even your son admits you were involved. He …"
"He is an idiot and would not know the truth even if it was right in front of him. He is just like a little child lashing out at its parents because he did not get his own way."
"So, there is no doubt despite your denials Mr Lu you will face charges from the assault on Madam Hou."
"How in the world can you charge me based on lies." Screamed Lu Jingho.
"Mr Lu just because someone's version of events differs from yours it does not make it a lie." Officer Kang realised that they would not get the results they needed, so changed tack on questioning. "Mr Lu can you tell us whether you were present at the event at the Key Plaza Hotel late last year where the president was in attendance?"
"Absolutely. It was horrendous to get into the hotel, given the levels of security screening to protect the president."
"When you got through the screening what did you do?"
"Headed into the reception room on the ground floor and remained there for the event, until I left the hotel. I think that I left around midnight with my wife and we returned home."
"Mr Lu, I am putting it to you that you are lying."
"My wife and son will confirm that I never left the room as they were there all night."
"Mr Lu, your son cannot confirm that. We have clear evidence that he spent at least some of the night on the terrace outside the reception room talking to Miss Yao. She, her father Yao Tan, and at least six other witnesses all put him out there. Those same witnesses all know that you disappeared from people sight for at least thirty minutes."
"My wife and son, who I was in the sight of all night will confirm I did not leave the reception. Your witnesses are lying," spat out Lu Jingho.
"Mr Lu, we have footage, which shows you leaving the reception venue at approximately 9:30pm and heading onto the terrace area outside the reception room before you head into the Key Plaza Hotel Gardens. Following you into the gardens was your friend Rong Jingye following your son and Miss Yao."
"What in the f*ck are you about to accuse me of."
"Mr Lu, we have evidence to support the fact that you sexually assaulted, if not raped the sixteen-year-old Miss Yao."
"F*ck you, who is telling you those lies. I do not have s*x with children."
"Mr Lu, that is a complete and utter lie. We have sufficient evidence to charge you with having s*xual intercourse with five seventeen-year-old girls, eight sixteen, four fifteen and two fourteen -year-old girls. …"
"A damn lie, I do not have s*x with children, and any s*xual encounter I have is always be consent." Screamed Lu Jingho
"Mr Lu, we have confirmed their ages …"
"That is a lie. I do not s*x with children. To the best of my ability, I conform their age as I am not stupid. It is all lies" screamed Lu Jingho.
Grabbing a photograph from the folder, along with a copy of a Lu Corporation Entertainment division contract, a birth certificate, a still image and half a dozen photographs from the folder. Officer Ho handed one photograph over which was a headshot. Officer Kang continued "Mr Lu, do you know this person?"
"What the … Why are you handing me a photograph? What f*cking trick is this." spat out Lu Jingho.
"Do you know this person?"
"Why would I know a child. I do not know this person?"
"Are you certain of that Mr Lu?"
"Are you so stupid that you have to repeat questions that I have already answered. No, I do not know her?"
Office Ho laid out the next five photographs, and Officer Kang said, "Do you wish correct that answer?"
"I may have met her, but I do not know her," he spat.
"Mr Lu, that is still a lie. Here is her contract of employment with Lu Corporation's entertainment division and her birth certificate. You signed the contract personally and agreed to be her guardian for her parents who along with her signed the contract six months ago. You clearly understood at that time she was only fourteen years old, but she has now turned fifteen."
"I often to that to reassure parents but leave the care to managers. But I do not know here that a few meetings in passing."
"Are you really certain on that answer?"
"You are a idiot, I have only met her in passing, I do not know her."
"Mr Lu that is a complete and utter lie," said Officer Kang. Meanwhile Officer Mu laid out the surveillance stills and pulled from the folder a tablet and started to play the surveillance footage of him having s*x in the club with her. As the footage started to play, Lu Jingho's face started to drop realising that there was clear evidence catching him having s*x with a fifteen-year-old.
