There were sparse whispers, and Cen Ning was a little nervous, but she wasn't afraid. Staying beside her words and deeds gave her an inexplicable sense of security.
And just now... he was protecting her.
Cen Ning has very little experience of being protected by others. She had no friends before, her father often went out to take pictures, and her mother who was the only one at home was always very strict with her.
She lacks so much warmth that when she feels a little bit of tenderness, she feels that that person treats her very well.
She turned her head to look at the words and deeds calmly, the latter was looking straight ahead, his exquisite profile was still extremely indifferent. But this time, she felt that he was not scary at all looking at him like this.
After more than ten minutes, Xue Xiaoxiao reluctantly came back with something.
"Here." With a cold face, Xue Xiaoxiao casually threw the camera onto Cen Ning's lap, "Give it back to you, that's fine."
The words were addressed to Cen Ning, but his eyes were half aggrieved and half pleasing to the words and deeds.
"Apologize." No one expected to throw out these two words lightly in words and deeds.
Xue Xiaoxiao stared slightly: "I paid it back!"
"One yard is worth one yard." The way of words and deeds, "Stealing other people's things for no reason, an apology will always work."
Xue Xiaoxiao has always been used to being aggressive and capricious. She didn't care about her words or deeds before, but this was the first time he said such harsh words to her. She felt extremely wronged, and couldn't get down in front of so many people.
"I don't apologize! What did I do wrong!" Xue Xiaoxiao's eyes were red, "Besides, others say you don't want her to appear here. I'm obviously helping you, but you still scold me! Brother Xingzhi, you are too Too much!"
Cen Ning lowered his head to carefully check if there was any problem with the camera, but when he heard Xue Xiaoxiao's words, his pupils visibly trembled.
"It's my business. It's none of your business." The words and deeds seemed to be a little funny, and he said after a moment of silence, "Study hard and stop watching so many eight o'clock TV series."
Xue Xiaoxiao: "I—"
"Okay, Xiaoxiao." At this time, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl stood up and walked over, "Stop making trouble, this matter was originally your fault, I apologize."
The shallow voice was neither sharp nor gentle, it sounded inexplicably cold and arrogant. Cen Ning looked up, and saw a girl in a short skirt approaching. She was very beautiful, much prettier than Xue Xiaoxiao.
Oval face, big eyes, fair skin than snow.
This is a girl who can make her feel inferior just by looking at her.
"You... hum!" It was absolutely impossible for Xue Xiaoxiao to apologize, and under all kinds of embarrassment, she turned her head and ran away angrily.
Meng Peiyan glanced helplessly, then turned her head and said to her words and deeds: "She has that temper, don't be angry."
Words and deeds stood up, expressionless said: "I won't be angry with a child."
With that said, he picked up the coat next to him and walked forward.
Tang Zheng was excited to watch the excitement, and when he saw this, he hurriedly got up: "Brother Yan! You don't want to fight anymore?"
"Stop fighting." After walking a few steps in words and deeds, he suddenly turned around, "Cen Ning."
Cen Ning, who was named, was stunned.
Words and deeds frowned: "What are you doing sitting here, go home."
go home
It wasn't her home, but he told her to go home.
Cen Ning snorted, and hurriedly followed behind him with the camera in his arms. For some reason, she suddenly felt extremely happy at this moment.
Thinking about it later, it was probably because of a sense of belonging.
**
One big and one small, walking in tandem.
Cen Ning really couldn't keep up with him at his usual walking speed, so he had to trot for two steps from time to time.
"Thanks."
A timid voice came from behind her, her words and deeds stopped, and she looked back at her: "Is the camera okay?"
Cen Ning was taken aback, and nodded quickly.
In words and deeds: "That's good."
Cen Ning let out a sigh of relief, and then said as if he mustered up a lot of courage: "She said you don't want me to be at your house, yes, is that true, am I causing trouble to you?"
His words and deeds looked down at her slightly, and he didn't speak for a while.
In fact, it was true that he didn't like being arranged for himself, and the absurdity in his heart when he saw her for the first time was also true. Still, it wasn't enough to bother him. Because he also knows that he can still control this kind of thing. What kind of fiancee is just a verbal promise between the elders, and it may not be true that he will be forced to do something in the future.
So her living in his house was nothing more than an insignificant existence to him, and it was too much to say that it was troublesome. And what Xue Xiaoxiao and those little brats have done has gone too far. The little girl in front of her is actually innocent, and even quite pitiful.
He doesn't like others to dictate his affairs, that's why he lost his temper with Xue Xiaoxiao and his group today.
"No."
"Really?" Cen Ning's eyes lit up.
"En." Words and deeds continued to move forward, "You don't want to be with Xue Xiaoxiao and the others in the future, they are spoiled, and you can't bear it when they quarrel."
Cen Ning: "... I didn't go with them."
"kindness."
The two quickly walked back home. After entering the house, Cen Ning looked at his back and said, "Yan, Yan..."
Turning back in words and deeds: "Why, do you still want to say thank you?"
Cen Ning pursed his lips, and it was true.
"I'm not here to help you, but I don't like those children making such a fuss, so you don't need to say thank you." Words and deeds said indifferently.
Cen Ning blinked and nodded obediently.
Words and deeds looked at her serious look and felt like laughing, nodding at everything, this child must be too obedient.
"Cen Ning, haven't you been able to call me by my full name once?" On the stairs, words and deeds.
Cen Ning didn't expect him to say this suddenly, so he could only stare blankly at him, letting his face turn red.
Words and deeds.
How many times has the name been around on the tip of her tongue, but she really can't seem to say it to him, and she can get stuck every time she speaks.
"I can… "
"But it's true, it's impolite for a child of your age to call me by my first name." Halfway between his words and deeds, he leaned on the armrest, as if he had thought about it seriously, "Just follow the group of children and call me brother."
"ah?"
Words and deeds are indifferent: "You still think you can call names directly."
Cen Ning hurriedly shook his head.
"Then call me brother."
"good… "
"Call it a try."
Cen Ning's heart suddenly thumped, and she looked at each other, she saw his eyes were bright under the light, for an instant, like a sea of stars.
Lowering his head, Cen Ning summoned up his courage and called out softly for his brother.
Whispering softly, the rareness of words and deeds that have always been cold-faced is tinged with a little smile.
"Go back, you should go to school tomorrow."
"kindness!"
Following his signal, Cen Ning turned around and walked towards Xiaolou, looking at her thin and small back, he slightly curled his lips in words and deeds.
Seeing her being so easy to bully, it's no wonder the group of kids would make fun of her.
**
Today was the first day of going to the new school, Cen Ning got up early, sat at the dining table and had breakfast.
"Ning Ning, you go to school on the first day, take a car with Xingzhi and let him take you to class." Yan Xingzhi's mother Xu Wanying sat opposite her and said kindly.
Cen Ning: "Uncle Gao said, send me to school."
"Old Gao is not familiar with the school. He has been studying there for five years. It would be nice to let him take you in."
The school that Cen Ning is going to this time is one of the best in the capital city, and many of the students in the school have more or less family backgrounds.
As for Xu Wanying, she said that she has been studying for five years because this school is a combination of junior and senior high schools, but the junior high school and high school are located in the north and south campuses, separated by a stone bridge.
Cen Ning didn't dare to say no to Xu Wanying, so he answered in a low voice.
Xu Wanying: "Then you will be with him later, it's still early, don't worry."
Cen Ning nodded and continued to eat breakfast.
After eating breakfast, Cen Ning sat in the living room for a while, but the time passed by, but he never came out of the room. On the first day of class, she didn't want to be late, but she was too embarrassed to rush.
"Oh, why hasn't Xingzhi come down yet?" At this time, Auntie Chen said while cleaning up the dishes, "Ningning, you can go upstairs and call him, this kid is lying in bed again."
Cen Ning stared slightly: "I... Me."
Aunt Chen smiled and said: "It's okay, I usually wake him up, he, he is often lazy on the bed when the old man is away."
Cen Ning stood up straight from the sofa, and asked in disbelief, "Me, shall I go upstairs?"
"You call for auntie, auntie washes the dishes first." Saying that, Auntie Chen hurried into the kitchen.
Cen Ning was silent, then glanced upstairs: "... oh."
A minute later, Cen Ning stood at the door of the room where words and deeds were spoken. She knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.
So with a sullen face, she cautiously pressed the doorknob.
Pushing the door open a little, along the door, she saw a spacious room, but the curtains were drawn tightly, and no light penetrated in, so the room as a whole could not be seen clearly.
"Yan..." Cen Ning pursed her lips, remembering that he said yesterday that he wanted to call her brother, so she changed her words and whispered, "Brother Xingzhi."
There was silence.
"Get up, get up."
Still no one answered, Cen Ning looked at the bulge on the big bed, and slowly moved over.
"Brother... yes, class is on."
brush-
The person on the bed suddenly turned over, and Cen Ning was startled, thinking he was awake. But after waiting for a while, it was discovered that the man had his eyes closed and was not awake at all.
The air conditioner in the room was turned on very low, but a little sweat broke out on Cen Ning's forehead. She stepped forward slowly, stretched out her hand and pulled his quilt: "Get up."
"Huh?" Finally there was a response, but it was probably because he was still asleep, and his voice was extremely low, especially hoarse.
Cen Ning blushed immediately, she turned around and wanted to leave, but when she remembered about the class, she gritted her teeth and stood still: "If you don't get up again, you must, you will be late."
When he is sleepy in words and deeds, he will feel very bad when he is awakened by someone, so the moment he opens his eyes is indeed a fierce light. So at the first sight, he saw the little girl who was standing at the head of his bed, gasping for breath in fright.
"..."
"..."
"Why are you here?" Because he just woke up, his eyes were slightly confused.
Cen Ning hurriedly said, "Aunt Chen asked me to call you to go to school."
Words and deeds frowned, glanced at the alarm clock, "Oh."
"Are you up?"
The look of words and deeds is still not good, but he still lifts the quilt and sits up.
"ah!"
Cen Ning suddenly turned around with a low cry, she was taken aback by his words and deeds, only after he realized that it was because he was not wearing any clothes on his upper body.
He coughed: "You go out first, I'm up."
Cen Ning didn't say a word, and quickly moved to the door of the room, but stopped when the door was about to close: "Brother, I'll wait for you downstairs."
Words and deeds, the hands of the clothes paused.
elder brother.
Quite obedient, let me remember.
But what is he waiting for
