The sofa in the living room is in an "L" shape, and there is a transparent coffee table in front of it. Duan Jiaxu and Sang Yan sat side by side, with a distance of two people in between.
The remaining position is empty.
Sang Zhi just sat there subconsciously, right next to Duan Jia Xu.
At this moment, because of this sudden situation, Sang Zhi's mind went blank. She even forgot to put away her phone, she was still pointing at Duan Jia Xu, and she looked uneasy and nervous.
Seeing her appearance, Sang Yan threw the gamepad aside, frowned and asked, "Little devil, what are you shooting for?"
Sang Zhi didn't know how to explain, so she looked up.
Noticing the direction the phone was pointing, Duan Jia Xu raised his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth curved up. After that, he leaned forward slightly, leaned closer in Sang Zhi's direction, and said with great interest, "Huh? Shoot me?"
Sang Zhi shrank back, and immediately put the phone screen on the pillow to block it: "No, no."
"No?"
"… "
"Why are you filming my brother?" Duan Jia Xu dragged his tone with a few laughs, "Is my brother so good-looking?"
Hearing this, Sang Yan immediately sneered: "Can you point your face?"
He seemed to have thought of something, and looked sideways at Sang Zhi: "You don't mean to take pictures to tell—"
Before he could speak, Sang Zhi stood up abruptly, without looking at the two of them, he said very quickly: "I told my classmates that I have a handsome brother."
Sanyan's voice stopped.
Her cheeks were a little red, and she moved towards the bedroom as she spoke. It seemed that he really couldn't think of any other reason, and after holding it for a long time, he said, "—but I'm embarrassed to show them your photo."
Sang Yan: "..."
After speaking, Sang Zhi immediately ran back to the room, leaving a silence.
The living room fell silent in an instant, so silent that it seemed awkward for no apparent reason. The two men sat at one end of each other, the expressions on their faces were very different, and there was a sharp contrast in emotion.
After a while, Sang Yan turned to look at Duan Jia Xu, her lips straightened, her face gradually lost her expression, and a gloomy anger surged in her heart: "I thought she was going to take a photo to complain to my parents."
Duan Jia Xu restrained the curvature of the corners of his lips, pretending to be calm and humming.
As if recalling Sang Zhi's words again, Sang Yan slowly exhaled, trying to control her temper, but her anger still ignited: "It's better to complain."
"… "
Another few seconds of silence.
"Fuck." Sang Yan couldn't take it anymore, and suddenly stood up, "You wait here first."
The next second, Duan Jia Xu followed him and stood up, his behavior meant to stop him. His chin was slightly restrained, and he chuckled softly: "Brother, don't worry about this with children, right?"
Sang Yan: "?"
Duan Jiaxu: "Children are ignorant, there is no need."
Sang Yan looked at him blankly.
"Children of this age," Duan Jiaxu patted his shoulder, his voice stopped for a few seconds, as if to hold back his laughter, "It will indeed be a bit of a shame, do you understand her?"
Want, face, son.
Understand, understand, one, next.
"… "
Sang Yan's brows twitched: "I understand your mother."
Sang Zhi stayed in her room for a few minutes, squatting by the door listening to the movement outside. She could faintly hear what Sang Yan and Duan Jia Xu were saying, but because of the distance, she couldn't hear it clearly.
She thought about the excuse she just said.
It still seems very reasonable.
Waited a while longer.
Sang Zhi bored out the "booty" just now.
Pixels are not sharp. From the angle of Sang Zhi's shooting, only Duan Jiaxu's profile can be seen clearly, three-dimensional and yet soft. The corners of his lips were slightly curved, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Sang Zhi suddenly felt that everything just now was worth it.
She couldn't help laughing, touched the pad of her finger on the screen, and quickly retracted it.
Sang Zhi took a few more glances, and suddenly turned off the screen, holding the phone and stomping her feet. She barely calmed down, pretended not to care at all, got up and looked in the mirror.
When he felt that there was no flaw, Sang Zhi coughed twice and hid the phone under the pillow. She quietly opened the door and glanced outside. Then quickly ran to Sang Yan's room and sat down at the desk.
Sang Zhi opened the physics workbook and deliberately started to find something to do for herself.
All attention was on the living room.
Not long after, someone walked in.
Sang Zhi didn't look up, but she could guess that it was Duan Jia Xu. She scratched her head, pretending to be doing a question.
Duan Jiaxu sat down beside her, leaned his face with one hand, and glanced at the exercise book she was working on: "Child, show me your final exam paper."
Sang Zhi nodded, flipped out the test paper from the physics book, and put it in front of him. She looked back at the original topic again, and the tip of the pen stopped quickly. She hesitated and asked in a low voice, "Brother, can you stop calling me that."
Hearing this, Duan Jiaxu raised his eyes, as if he didn't understand her words: "Huh?"
Sang Zhi looked at him, but didn't answer.
Duan Jia Xu reacted, "Child?"
Sang Zhi looked away and nodded silently.
Duan Jiaxu: "Don't you like your brother shouting like that?"
"No." Sang Zhi muttered, "That's right, I'm not a child anymore."
"Isn't it a child?" Duan Jia Xu felt amused, "Then you think you are a big child?"
"… "
Sang Zhi pursed her lips and ignored him.
Duan Jiaxu didn't think it was a big deal, and didn't care too much: "Brother, this is not a habit."
Sang Zhi's position was firm: "Then you have to change this habit."
"Okay, then how do you call it?" His voice shifted, "Little Sangzhi?"
Sang Zhi moved her lips, a little dissatisfied.
Can't we get rid of the word "small"
No matter what, she is small.
never mind.
Sang Zhi decided to endure.
At least it's better than the original anyway.
She didn't bother with him, and nodded reluctantly.
Hearing her mention this, Duan Jia Xu recalled how he looked when he first saw her, and reached out and rubbed her head: "It seems that she has grown a bit taller."
Sang Zhi said solemnly, "It will continue to grow."
"Yeah." Duan Jiaxu's tone was condescending, not sounding serious, "At that time, he will be taller than my elder brother, so I will protect my elder brother."
"..." Sang Zhi imagined the scene and muttered, "It doesn't need to be that high."
Duan Jiaxu just smiled and continued to read her exam paper: "Child, you haven't attended the class, have you?"
I said it just now, and now I call it that again.
Sang Zhi didn't hear it.
Duan Jiaxu said lazily, "Did you hear what brother said?"
Sang Zhi felt aggrieved, but still didn't dare to pretend that she didn't hear it, and leaned in to defend herself: "I have heard it, but I just don't understand it."
"Why did you choose the wrong question about state change?"
"Oh." Sang Zhi pointed, "I wrote too fast, I wanted to choose A."
Duan Jiaxu said with a half-smile, "This question is B."
"… "
The eyes of the two met.
Sang Zhi felt a little embarrassed, but also felt that he couldn't lose his momentum, so he simply said confidently: "Anyway, I just don't understand. I listened to the class, but I was too stupid to understand."
"Big brother asked you to listen to the class before." Duan Jia Xu said, "Forgot?"
"How long ago was that..."
"Then you want my brother to remind you once a day?"
Sang Zhi hesitated for two seconds, then said warmly, "Alright."
"..." Duan Jia Xu was angry and funny, "Bring me the textbook."
Tutoring time is set for two hours a day, three times a week.
It was supposed to start on time at nine o'clock and end on time at eleven o'clock. As a result, Sang Zhi slept until ten o'clock, plus her time to wash up and eat breakfast, the two of them didn't officially start tutoring until eleven o'clock.
There was an hour break for lunch on the way.
Duan Jiaxu didn't seem to be busy, and when the time came, he still watched her do the questions. After she was done, he checked them one by one, and casually mentioned this morning's events: "You don't want to ask for a tutor?"
Sang Zhi said vaguely, "I don't want to study."
"At your age," Duan Jia Xu chuckled, "what else do you want to do besides study?"
Sang Zhi choked and puffed out her cheeks: "You don't understand."
Duan Jiaxu pointed to the wrong question and asked her to read it a few more times, then said, "Okay, brother doesn't understand. You can do whatever you want, but you have to spare time, at least don't delay your studies."
Sang Zhi: "I know."
"Go back and digest it yourself." Duan Jia Xu closed the textbook, "That's it for today."
Sanji nodded.
When the class was over, Duan Jia Xu leaned back in his chair again. Soon, his eyelids moved, as if he suddenly remembered something, and he stretched his tail and said, "Child—"
"… "
How used to shouting like that
Can't it be changed
Sang Zhi was about to accuse.
He heard him say again: "I heard, do you think your brother is handsome?"
"… "
She instantly choked back the words in her mouth.
Duan Jiaxu approached her slowly, and let out a long laugh, "Let's show brother what it was like just now."
Sang Zhi didn't want to show it to him, and at this time, she was extremely thankful that she didn't bring her cell phone. She pretended to touch her pocket and said calmly, "The phone is in the room."
result.
Duan Jiaxu said naturally, "Go and get it."
"..." Sang Zhi said stiffly, "I don't want it."
"Aren't you going to take a few more pictures?" Duan Jiaxu raised his face in profile, with a bit of ridicule in his voice, "However Xiao Sangzhi wants to take pictures, my brother will cooperate with you. Then pick the best one and show it to your children, and show it to us. Xiao Sangzhi is fighting for face."
Sang Zhi said uncomfortably, "...No need."
"Is that so—" He seemed to feel a little regretful, "That's a pity."
"… "
"Don't think about it anymore?" Duan Jia Xu smiled, "Child, don't you think it's a waste?"
Sang Zhi was a little annoyed by his teasing, but did not respond, jumped out of the chair, silently picked up her belongings and went back to the room. She packed her things, stared in the direction of the pillow, silent.
Maybe brainwashed.
At this moment, when Sang Zhi was furious, she actually felt a pity.
There is even the urge to go back.
After that, Sang Zhi didn't hear Duan Jia Xu's departure.
Listening to the voice outside, Duan Jia Xu and Sang Yan seemed to be playing the game again, but they just moved the battlefield to Sang Yan's room. Sang Zhi was a little depressed, but in fact, even if Sang Yan was not around, she couldn't bring herself to bring up this matter again.
Sang Zhi flipped through the photo on her phone, and felt that this one was enough.
She is no longer greedy.
Sang Zhi thought about the past, and felt that she had no reason to disturb them.
Suddenly remembering that when guests come, Li Ping will cut some fruit to say hello. Sang Zhi didn't want to count on Sang Yan, and felt that she couldn't treat Duan Jia Xu badly. She hesitated and walked out of the room, went to the kitchen to open the refrigerator, and came out with a watermelon.
Putting the watermelon on the counter, Sang Zhi picked up the fruit knife, feeling a little clueless. She scratched her head and simply took a tray and put the watermelon and fruit knife on it.
Then, with great effort, he moved into Sang Yan's room.
Noticing the movement, Sang Yan and Duan Jia Xu shifted their gazes subconsciously.
Duan Jiaxu: "…"
Sang Yan: "..."
Sang Zhi put the watermelon next to them and said thoughtfully, "I'll give you fruits to eat."
"..." Sang Yan's forehead jumped, "If you want to eat, just call, and I'll go out and cut it for you, so you don't have to work so hard."
Duan Jiaxu was sitting on the sofa, watching Sang Zhi's behavior, he couldn't help laughing.
Sang Zhi was very unhappy when his purpose was distorted: "I didn't want to eat it, I just gave it to you."
Sang Yan: "Just bring in a whole watermelon?"
"..." Sang Zhi lost his confidence, "Then I can't cut it."
Sang Yan stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly got up, lifted the tray again, and walked towards the kitchen: "I'm done, how long have I been playing this game? I have to serve you again."
"… "
Being scolded, Sang Zhi also felt unhappy, but did not dare to talk back.
The next moment, Duan Jiaxu waved to her, pointed at Sang Yan's gamepad and said, "Come and play games with my brother."
Sang Zhi walked over and sat down in Sang Yan's place.
They were playing "The King of Fighters". Although Sang Zhi didn't like to play very much, he used to play with Sang Yan a lot, and it was pretty good. She couldn't concentrate a little bit, and she pressed the buttons on the handle, and didn't hit hard.
After a while, the characters in her game lost most of their blood.
Duan Jiaxu stopped and asked, "Can you play?"
Sang Zhi nodded: "Yes."
"That's why you don't like playing this?"
"Um."
Duan Jiaxu loosened the handle, pointed to the game cassette in front, and said casually, "Go and change your favorite one."
"Oh." Sang Zhi turned around and changed to a Super Mario, "Play this."
"Row."
Not long after, Sang Yan came in with a plate of watermelon. He didn't know whose text message he received, but he looked at his phone and said, "I'll go out and be back soon."
Sang Zhi: "Why are you going?"
"You bastard, take it easy." Sang Yan shook her phone, "Go eat your watermelon."
Afterwards, he took his wallet from the drawer, and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered someone like Duan Jiaxu: "Hey, are you going with me or stay here?"
Duan Jiaxu's eyes were still on the screen, "Let's be later. I'll have a part-time job later, so I'll go straight from here."
"Okay." Sang Yan said, "I guess I'll be back before you leave."
Soon, the two of them were inexplicably left in the house.
This round was played by Duan Jiaxu first. Sang Zhi was a little bored, so he started to talk about the topic: "Brother, do you know why my brother went?"
"Huh?" Duan Jiaxu said informally, "Maybe he wants to get rid of the single before Valentine's Day."
"… "
Sang Zhi suddenly remembered that this year's Valentine's Day just happened to be the first day of the new year.
It's just a few days away.
She turned her head to look at Duan Jiaxu, thinking of his charming personality and appearance, she asked unintentionally, "What about you?"
Duan Jiaxu: "Huh?"
Sang Zhi was silent for a few seconds, then inexplicably held her breath: "Brother, are you going to fall in love?"
Duan Jia Xu's eyes twitched, "Me."
"… "
"It depends." He smiled.
Sang Zhi suddenly remembered what he had said before, that after graduation, he would go home and work there, and then contact him now. Her chest seemed to be pressed by a large stone, and she felt extremely powerless.
It happened to be her turn, and Sang Zhi discussed the topic on the bento and played the game quietly.
in this silence.
Sang Zhi suddenly had a very selfish thought.
He felt that when he said it at this age, he could still treat it as a childish talk, and treat it as a joke. When she grows up, it should be impossible for her to open this mouth again.
Only now is it time to speak.
Staring at the screen, Sang Zhi's heart beat like a drum, she licked the corner of her lips nervously, and summoned the courage to ask, "Brother, can you not fall in love?"
Duan Jia gave her a pause and looked sideways at her, as if he thought he had heard it wrong.
"what."
"Don't fall in love." Sang Zhi's face was expressionless, as if it was a matter of course, "It's better to study hard."
Duan Jiaxu stared at her for a long time. He seemed to think it was absurd. Instead, he laughed: "Child, be reasonable. Why didn't you tell your brother not to fall in love?"
The author has something to say: Sang Zhi: It's none of my business if my brother finds a man to fall in love with.
