Suddenly changed the subject, Tong Yan said "Huh?", his eyelashes were still wet, and there were thin layers of tears in his beautiful eyes, a little dazed, but undeniably cute, Zhuo Xiangming helped him wipe away the tears : "If the pheromone is not well covered, and you can't control yourself well now, it may be a little dangerous."
Tong Yan stammered: "Did you come out?"
Zhuo Xiangming hummed, moved a little closer, smelled it again, and said, "It smells like gardenia."
After finishing speaking, he immediately looked at Tong Yan's expression.
This sentence is actually not very polite. It is easy to appear rude and offensive to comment on other people's pheromone taste casually, whether it is praise or belittling.
Originally, Zhuo Xiangming was not someone who would make such low-level social mistakes, but holding the crying child in his arms and smelling the sweet fragrance, these words slipped out of his mouth naturally.
Fortunately, Tong Yan's attention is clear: "I don't know... Gardenia?"
After the gonads recovered to normal secretion of pheromones, he himself had smelled it many times, but he could only describe it as a certain kind of aroma, so he didn't know the details.
"Gardenias in Jiangdu are indeed not common." Zhuo Xiangming said, "There are many cities a little south."
"Oh."
But just after the end, he hiccupped, this time Tong Yan was really ashamed, his ears and neck were flushed, he got off Zhuo Xiangming, he was embarrassed to look at Zhuo Xiangming, so he could only look down for his slippers, and said: "I'm going to take a shower."
Zhuo Xiangming got up and said, "Remember to call my mother after washing."
Tong Yan turned around, a little confused, Zhuo Xiangming picked up the cell phone he had thrown away from the bed, and turned on the screen to show him: "When you were crying just now, she called you."
"You saw it all, why didn't you tell me then." Tong Yan said unreasonably after taking the phone and looking at the two missed calls.
As soon as Zhuo Xiangming coaxed him, he subconsciously grew upright. But pushing the pot is always unkind to Tong Yan, he thought he was very powerful, but in Zhuo Xiangming's eyes, he was no different from a kitten waving its paws, a kitten with its nails clipped.
Zhuo Xiangming still had that serious expression: "I'm afraid that if you answer with red eyes, my mother would think I'm bullying you."
Why does he keep mentioning what he cried just now? Tong Yan stuffed the phone back into Zhuo Xiangming's hand, and went into the bathroom indignantly.
After coming out, Zhuo Xiangming had already left, but before he left, he closed the windows and drew the curtains, and turned on the lights and heating. He thought again, brother Zhuo Xiangming is so kind.
After crying for a while, the emotions quickly disappeared. Whether it was the sadness of leaving home or the embarrassment of losing his composure in front of Zhuo Xiangming, they were all evaporated by the heat, leaving only some sleepiness.
Tong Yan blows her hair and goes to bed, looking at the empty schoolbag on the bedside table, she is still a little dazed, and finally decides to tidy up after calling Lin Yuehua.
The phone was running out of battery, so he dialed it with the tablet, and Lin Yuehua answered quickly: "Tongtong?"
"I'm sorry, auntie, my phone is on silent, so I didn't hear it."
He felt that he wasn't lying, but that he was hiding part of the truth.
Lin Yuehua smiled and said: "It's okay, Auntie just got off work, remembering that you told Brother Ming that you would go to school tomorrow, so she called to ask. Have you packed your things? Is there anything missing?"
Tong Yan said: "The book will be picked up at school tomorrow, just bring some documents for resuming school."
"That's great. Are you still used to living there? Come to eat at home when you have time. Auntie will cook for you whatever you like."
Tong Yan said: "Okay, Auntie."
Lin Yuehua paused, and said, "What's on your bedside table?"
Tong Yan tilted the camera a little, facing the bedside table, so that she could see more clearly: "Schoolbag."
"Oh..." Lin Yuehua said, "How many schoolbags did Zhuo Xiangming buy? These are not the ones he asked me before... even the brands are different."
"?" Tong Yan asked suspiciously, "Did Brother Xiang Ming buy me a schoolbag?"
Lin Yuehua was also stunned: "No?"
Lin Yuehua recalled: "Last week... What day of the week is it? He sent me a photo and asked me. At first I didn't know what he was doing with the schoolbag, but in the end he said it was you who started school next Monday."
"He just asked me about it. I only knew about it when I went to the store last time. I heard from the boss." As she spoke, she laughed again, as if thinking of something funny, "He didn't even buy these things for himself. The heart of things, I only told people to buy school bags for children. The boss personally took three or four books of pictures and samples to his office, and then said that he didn’t know that there were so many styles of school bags. So many, I recommended a few to him, and he sent me a question."
"Okay..." Tong Yan said with difficulty, "I'll ask my brother later."
"Is he home?"
"exist."
"Then why didn't you stay together?" Lin Yuehua said, "Does he usually ignore you?"
Tong Yan quickly said: "No, no, the one who came to see me in my room just now, brother left because I needed to take a bath."
"Okay. Brother Xiang Ming is a bit bored, but he's not fierce, and he cares about you." Lin Yuehua looked at him kindly from the other side of the screen, "At first he promised to take care of you, so he asked you to move in. So I'm sure I won't be irresponsible. If you have something on your mind, I'm sorry to tell him, if your brother Tong Yang and your father are both busy, you can tell your aunt, okay?"
Tong Yan sensed that Lin Yuehua should have found out that he had cried, but he was not sure. He nodded again and said, "Okay."
"Brother didn't bully you, did he?"
"No aunt, brother is very good to me."
Lin Yuehua liked him very much when he looked obedient, and smiled even more.
After talking for a while, Lin Yuehua said: "Okay, you should rest early, Auntie won't bother you anymore."
After saying good night to each other, Tong Yan put down the tablet and started packing her schoolbag.
All the documents were put away, the warning sign was hung on the schoolbag, and only the piece of paper that required Zhuo Xiangming's signature was placed outside.
After getting married, his guardian became Zhuo Xiangming, and now the contact person in the school system has been automatically changed, and the report card will be sent directly to Zhuo Xiangming in the future.
Just as Tong Yan was about to look for him, Zhuo Xiangming knocked on the door. This time Xuan Gui also came in together, and put the heated coconut milk and mashed potatoes on the bedside table.
Zhuo Xiangming walked to the bedside, took a good look at Tong Yan as if observing, and then said: "You didn't cry anymore, did you?"
Tong Yan said anxiously: "I'm not that good at crying... I don't usually cry."
Zhuo Xiangming was noncommittal, and sat down beside his bed: "I received the email from the school two days ago, you come back today, let's check it now."
Tong Yan knew what it was. Usually before school started, the school would send an open letter on home-school cooperation to the parents, but before Tong Yang and Tong Liqin just told him verbally and never really took care of it.
"I… "
"Mobile phone." Zhuo Xiangming said.
Tong Yan still wanted to struggle: "Brother... I will abide by the school rules."
"Mobile phone." Zhuo Xiangming said, "I need to set up screen usage time and website browsing permissions for you during the school day."
Tong Yan had no choice but to hand over the phone.
He was not very willing, of course Zhuo Xiangming could see it, but Zhuo Xiangming was also beating the drums in his heart, he followed the advice of "don't pay any attention to any guarantees and excuses from them, repeat your request", but this way did not affect him. He was a stranger to Tong Yan, Zhuo Xiangming did this, but he didn't feel very comfortable.
After setting it up, he returned the phone to Tong Yan. Tong Yan was reluctant to return, but he didn't have any more intense emotions. After taking it, he said, "Thank you brother."
"Are you angry?" Zhuo Xiangming asked after he couldn't last long.
"No." Tong Yan was fiddling with the phone at first, wanting to see what was different, but raised his head upon hearing this, "I can't be angry because of this kind of thing, you just did what you should do."
His being so sensible made Zhuo Xiangming feel even more "sorry" for Tong Yan.
Zhuo Xiangming didn't know that he was a bit aggressive: "Can't be angry, or can't be angry?"
Tong Yan said: "I won't be angry."
But Tong Yan paused, and then said: "I just thought you would trust me more." He explained: "I thought you would believe that if I said I would abide by the school rules, I would definitely not knowingly break the law."
Speaking of trust, Zhuo Xiangming realized that he couldn't always face all the questions about Tongyan according to the questions and answers on the webpage.
Tong Yan is indeed a teenager, in adolescence, but his tutor is very good, and he knows how to control himself better than most children.
Every teenager has problems, but Tong Yan's problem is obviously not Internet addiction or lying, and he shouldn't use routines to discipline Tong Yan.
Tong Yan was about to start school, and Zhuo Xiangming felt like a student who was about to take an exam, a little flustered. It's just that the loss in the first battle was not so bad because of Tong Yan's acceptance and indifference.
He is an adult after all, Tong Yan didn't see the frustration, and the two finished the rest of the school rules.
In the end, Zhuo Xiangming helped Tong Yan sign the absence notification letter for the physical fitness class. Tong Yan suddenly asked, "Brother, did you buy me a schoolbag?"
"Why do you ask that?" Zhuo Xiangming's pen stopped for a moment, and he stood up straight after signing, without denying it, he just said, "I see that you already have it."
"Auntie said it." Tong Yan smiled, "Thank you brother."
Zhuo Xiangming thought that when he laughed, his eyes were always crooked. very nice.
"Can you give it to me?" Tong Yan said, "I can use it instead."
Zhuo Xiangming didn't seem to have thought of this, and he was taken aback for a while before saying, "Of course, it's for you."
They went to the garage, Zhuo Xiangming opened the trunk of the car he drove for the children's banquet on Friday, for some reason, he was inexplicably nervous: "I planned to take you out for dinner on Friday. Congratulations on your start of school."
There are not only schoolbags in the trunk, but the big storage box stacked under the three schoolbags takes up the most space. Tong Yan opened it, and it was full of notebooks, pens and other stationery.
How much homework does Zhuo Xiangming want him to do
Oh no, probably since the third or fourth grade, Tong Yan hasn't handed in any paper homework in school, let alone notebooks, which may only be used in the company office.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhuo Xiangming asked, "Did I buy it wrong?"
Tong Yan said with difficulty: "No, no."
But as soon as he got down from the heart attack caused by a large box of stationery, he accidentally glanced at the logo of the schoolbag, thought of the unit price, and thought of Lin Yuehua's "almost all of them", Tong Yan felt that he was not well.
He would not be intimidated by the money, but Zhuo Xiangming confused him.
He acts like a very mature adult most of the time - no, he is, but sometimes, he seems clumsy, different from the adults in Tong Yan's cognition, whether it is Tong Liqin or Tong Yang, or something like that The teachers I have met over the years, Zhuo Xiangming is different from each of them.
Tong Yan thought he was clumsy, and then thought he was clumsy and cute.
"Do you like it?" Zhuo Xiangming asked.
"I like it." Tong Yan said.
