"Go to your house?" Qiao Shao never thought of this possibility, he said, "No, no, it's too embarrassing."
Although he and He Shen were already familiar with each other, it was too strange to see his parents.
He Shen solved his troubles in one sentence: "I live alone."
Qiao Shao's little heart swayed, a little moved.
Qiao Shao asked, "Why do you live alone?"
He Shen said: "I don't want to live on campus, so I rent a house around."
Qiao Shao wondered, "Aren't your family with you?"
He Shen felt that Qiao Shao's words were a bit strange, shouldn't they be called parents under normal circumstances
But Qiao Shao used his family.
He said: "I am very busy with work, and it is very inconvenient to live here."
"That's it," Qiao Shao said, "you are so amazing that you even live alone."
What he thought was that He Shen's family was really big enough to let a high school student rent a house outside.
After thinking about Qiao Shao again, he thought: Probably no one cares, so this guy let himself go and stayed up late at night to play games and sleep the next day
Hey... still a pitiful deep.
Qiao Shao felt a little distressed that he was at the same table as the scumbag.
Seeing that he didn't make a sound for a long time, He Shen added another yard: "The fifth floor is for four people, and on weekends, there will be no one on the whole floor."
International classes don't have to sneak out to play on weekends, not to mention rest days.
Qiao Shao: "!"
He Shen said again: "Chen Fu also wants to go home?"
Qiao Shao had asked for a long time: "Yes... He will return too."
He Shen said in a very gentle tone: "Actually, you won't be too bored, maybe it's all ghosts when you turn off the lights."
Qiao Shao: "!!!"
He Shen smiled: "What, stay with the ghost, or play with me..."
Qiao Shao immediately said, "Please take it in!"
Satisfied, He Shen said reservedly, "Okay."
Qiao Shao called Qiao Zongmin at noon: "Dad, I won't go back on weekends."
Qiao Zongmin was still in jet lag, and when he heard his son's words, he instantly became refreshed: "What's the matter? Isn't it a holiday?"
Qiao Shao dared to say that he had a sprained foot. He was afraid that if he went back, he would not be able to come back, so he had to find a reason: "Just rest for one night, it's too much trouble going back and forth."
Qiao Zongmin said: "Your grandfather was talking about you yesterday, waiting for you to come back and cook something delicious for you."
Qiao Shao didn't dare to go back anymore, let his grandfather know that he had a leg cramped while running.
"I just came to the new environment and want to spend more time with my classmates." Joe
When Shao mentions the word "new environment", it is particularly useful.
Qiao Zongmin hesitated for a moment: "Can you stay in the dormitory by yourself?"
Qiao Shao didn't want to hide it from him, and said expectantly, "No, I'm going to go to my classmate's house."
Qiao Zongmin was obviously stunned: "A classmate's house?"
Qiao Shao said in a relaxed tone: "Yes, I am at the same table, a boy who has no shortcomings except that he is not very serious in his studies."
Oh, maybe he still likes to fight with people, but he won't tell Da Qiao about this, so that he can check He Shen upside down.
Qiao Zongmin asked again, "Is it appropriate for you to go to his house?"
Qiao Shao said again: "There's nothing inappropriate, he lives alone,"
Qiao Zongmin thought: "It's quite independent."
Qiao Shao said, "So I want to go and see how he is doing alone."
Qiao Zongmin no longer objected. He asked, "Do you want to bring something? Dad will prepare it for you."
Such as a complete home improvement or simply a change of home or something.
How dare Qiao Shao let his father take action, he said: "No, the classmates don't pay attention to these things, I will find a way to help him with tuition."
It's like helping Lou Xiao with his homework and paying for his meals.
Qiao Zongmin smiled and said, "It seems that you have learned well this week?"
"That must be," Qiao Shao said proudly, "I not only learned well, but also experienced a lot of things, by the way..."
He told Da Qiao about what he had told and about the fact that he had to pretend to be a poor student temporarily.
Qiao Zongmin raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "It's good."
Qiao Shao instructed him: "So you must help me keep it a secret."
Qiao Zongmin said, "Understood."
Qiao Shao still trusted his father, he said, "That's about it, you don't have to worry, and let Grandpa and Grandpa not worry, I'm all right, I'll send them a WeChat message when I have time."
Qiao Zongmin said again, "Call me if you feel uncomfortable."
Qiao Shao looked at his feet and said a little guilty: "It's okay, my roommate is back, I'll hang up first."
After hanging up, Qiao Shao went to discuss the morning physics problem with Chen Fu.
On the other side of the phone, Qiao Zongmin stared at the phone for a while, then dialed another number.
"Dr. Zhang," Qiao Zongmin said in a low and restrained voice, "Xiao Shao is doing well at school, he doesn't plan to go home this week..."
A soothing voice came from the microphone: "It's best to come out on your own, Mr. Qiao, what you need is to let go."
Qiao Zongmin's voice was filled with grief: "How can I let go, his mother..."
Zhang Guanting said warmly: "The child has to grow up, and you don't want him to be unhappy for the rest of his life."
After school, Qiao Shao stuffed a bunch of test questions into his schoolbag.
He Shen picked it up and said, "Are you done?"
Qiao Shao said: "Of course!"
Although the accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
He Shen wanted to say that there were no more questions to do, it was more important, but he didn't say anything after thinking about it.
He has bankrupt his reputation here in Qiao Shao, and he doesn't believe anything about learning.
He Shen's house was really close to the school, just across the street.
Qiao Shao asked him, "How many floors do you live in?"
He Shen said: "Don't worry, there is an elevator."
Qiao Shao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great."
It's such a blessing to not be able to climb stairs with a lame leg.
He Shen lived on the 13th floor. It was an ordinary apartment building. Qiao Shao had never been to such a place before and looked at it curiously.
There is no access control in the community, the elevator is unprepared, you can order any floor, and... This elevator is too small! Also post ads!
Master Qiao has really learned a lot.
He Shen took him into the house, and Qiao Shao was surprised when he entered.
Visually, it was a two-bedroom apartment. It was clean and neat, and everything was neatly placed, so it was not messy at all.
"So good..." Qiao Shao couldn't help but admire.
It's not easy for boys who live alone to maintain this cleanliness.
Anyway, Qiao Shao can't do it. If he leaves the cleaning aunt, he will be a salted fish swimming in the garbage.
He Shen smiled: "What is this? An old and dilapidated small apartment."
The little dwarf can only say good if he has never seen the world.
Qiao Shao knew that he had misunderstood, but it just so happened that he was not a poor person.
Dinner surprised Qiao Shao: "You actually know how to cook?"
He Shen said: "Don't expect too much, you can only order home-cooked dishes, and the taste is average."
Qiao Shao was very enthusiastic: "This is also very powerful."
He can't even tell the difference between salt and MSG.
He Shen was in a good mood, and decided not to order extra takeout, but to cook more delicious food for the little boy: "Wait, I'll call you."
"Well." After Qiao Shaoying came down, he looked around He Shen's "home".
The living room is a sofa and a coffee table, in cool black and white colors, two bedrooms, one becomes a study, and the other has a double bed.
Qiao Shao went to the study to have a look, and was quite surprised.
There is a row of bookshelves facing the north, which are full of books, many of which are in pure English.
Qiao Shao's English is good, but he can't understand it.
Can He Xuezhu understand these original texts
Maybe the original owner? Qiao Shao can only think like this.
In front of the bookshelf is a computer with a curved display. Although Qiao Shao doesn't know much about it, it looks like it has a good configuration and is a high-end computer.
"Well..." Qiao Shao said to himself, "I guess this is the little goblin who haunts He Shen every night."
He strolled around and went to the kitchen to probe his brain again.
He Shen knew that he was here without looking back: "The computer password is also 0101, let's play."
Qiao Shao pursed his mouth: "I don't play games, I'll do the quiz."
He Shen curled his lips: "Alright, go to the dining table and write."
Qiao Shao wrote half of the test paper, and He Shen's meal was on the table.
It's really homely, and it doesn't look very appetizing, but when I think about it, it's made by a seventeen-year-old...
Qiao Shao praised unceremoniously: "Brother, you can do it!"
He Shen glanced at him: "What brother, it's called brother."
Qiao Shao's cannibalistic mouth was short, and he said honestly, "Brother Shen is awesome!"
He Shen was originally joking to tease him, but he didn't expect that he would really scream, and for a while...
His Adam's apple twitched, and he sat down and said, "Eat."
Ears are a little itchy.
In fact, Qiao Shao is not picky about food at all. Although Qiao's family has tried their best to make him eat more, in fact, as long as he can taste the food, he will eat happily.
Maybe the new environment really gave him a good mood. In short, since he came to Donggao, he has eaten well at every meal.
If you keep at it like this, maybe you can really grow taller!
After eating, Qiao Shao couldn't help wash the dishes because he was half lame.
After finishing everything, Qiao Shao started to do the questions again, and He Shen went to "play games".
The room was very quiet, but because the study door was open, there was a faint sound of the keyboard, which made Qiao Shao very reassured, and the efficiency of doing the questions improved a lot.
It's about half past ten, it's time to go to bed.
Qiao Shao didn't plan to fight for the bed with He Shen, he said, "I'll just sleep on the sofa."
He Shen got up and moved his shoulders and said, "Go to bed."
Qiao Shao: "What about you?"
He Shen asked back, "Is the bed not big enough, or we haven't slept together?"
Qiao Shao couldn't answer the words, he was very embarrassed. Sleeping at night was no better than a lunch break. The lunch break was only so short, and he just made do with it.
At night...
He can't do it without headphones.
But it's too strange to sleep with headphones on. He Shen will ask, but he can't answer.
Qiao Shao struggled for a while and said, "I really don't need to squeeze together. The sofa I sleep on is very spacious."
He Shen teased him: "Don't worry, I sleep very honestly, I don't have any quirks, let's talk about you..."
Qiao Shao's heart tightened, and his face was a little flustered.
He Shen noticed it, but he didn't ask anything: "Okay, go to sleep, I still want to play games."
Qiao Shao was stunned: "Aren't you going to sleep?"
He Shen looked at him: "I live in American time, and now is a good time to work."
Qiao Shao said helplessly: "Do you want to play games all night again?"
"Well," He Shen went to the study, "Go to bed early."
Although Qiao Shao didn't agree with his behavior of reversing day and night, he couldn't say more.
He slept on He Shen's bed and found it quite comfortable.
The bed was clean and smelled of sunshine.
Although the tablemate is a scumbag, but his self-care ability is really strong, and he seems to be living a good life.
Qiao Shao put on his headphones and fell asleep after a while.
At two o'clock in the morning, He Shen, who got up and rested, went back to the bedroom and glanced at Qiao Shao.
The dwarf lay on his side and slept well, with his hands under the pillow, his facial features became more delicate in the cold moonlight.
"Don't forget to take off your headphones when you fall asleep."
He walked over and lightly took off his headphones for Qiao Shao.
He Shen yawned, ready to go back to work...
With a squeak.
He Shen turned back and found the sleeping boy sitting up.
Under the cold moonlight, he opened his eyes but did not focus at all, his pale lips trembled slightly, as if he had been caught in a nightmare.
"Have a nightmare?" He Shen walked over and called him softly.
As he approached, Qiao Shao's eyes became bright, and he turned to look at He Shen, as if trying to distinguish something.
"What's wrong?" He Shen asked him.
Qiao Shao was finally able to speak: "No... nothing."
He Shen asked again, "Did I wake you up?"
"No," Qiao Shao shook his head and swallowed dryly, "... I dreamed of something not very good."
"It's okay," He Shen coaxed him warmly, "Go to sleep."
"Well..." Qiao Shao responded while looking around, "My..."
He didn't say the word earphone, and He Shen said, "I put your earphones away, it's not good to wear them to sleep."
Qiao Shao's face suddenly turned pale again.
He Shen thought that he was afraid of ghosts, and said softly: "I'm teasing you during the day, how can there be those weird things, don't think about it."
Qiao Shao's lips moved.
He Shen simply said: "Well, I'm tired too, let's sleep together."
He couldn't help but put Qiao Shao down on the bed, and took off his shoes himself.
Qiao Shao clenched the quilt tightly and opened his eyes wide.
He Shen was really tired. If it wasn't for rushing orders, he would have gone to bed early.
- Squint for a while, and accompany this poor little one.
Qiao Shao was in a panic, and the huge fear came like a tide, almost taking away his ability to breathe.
He needs headphones, he can't be so dark and quiet...
"Sleep, sleep~" He Shen sang a lullaby in a playful tone, "My dear baby..."
Qiao Shao: "..."
Miraculously, the feeling of suffocation that had haunted him for countless days and nights faded away like the sea at ebb.
"It's noisy."
He really found his voice and complained about He Shen.
He Shen stopped: "Aren't you afraid anymore?"
Qiao Shao muttered: "Sleep!"
He didn't wear headphones, he didn't listen to music, and once again fell asleep to the sound of the other person's even breathing.
Realizing that Qiao Shao was asleep, He Shen got up reluctantly.
If you don't sleep, you don't have to sleep. If you don't hurry up and rush out, you won't be able to collect the balance.
He Shen pressed his temples and got out of bed carefully.
He had just walked to the door, and was about to push the door out when he heard that squeak.
He turned his head, and sure enough, the child woke up again.
He Shen's pupils shrank and walked back quickly: "Why..."
"Don't..." Qiao Shao trembled and grabbed his hand tightly, "Don't go."
His palms were covered in cold sweat, and his voice sounded like he was about to cry.
