"Then... do you want to touch it? Bear." Miss Honey Xiang Ning said.
"Waist?" Xu Tingsheng said.
"Then... just touch it, just touch it." Little Xiang Ning tapped the anti-slip mat with her toes, turned around, lowered her head, closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, looking like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"I mean, waist." Xu Tingsheng said it again helplessly.
"Ah? Oh." Little Xiang Ning became very embarrassed, and said embarrassingly, "I thought you said yes."
Didi Liu turned back and said, "Hmph, I won't let you touch it anymore."
"It's not rare." Xu Tingsheng said.
"Say it again."
"Do not care."
"Still?"
"Do not care."
Just talking like this, Xu Tingsheng thought the bickering was just for fun, Xiang Ning's small mouth suddenly shrunk, her lips were trembling, and she cried and said:
"I knew you didn't care about me anymore, I knew that you were not like this before, and then you told me that you were going to fall in love... Then you became busy, stopped teaching me, and despised me... You thought I was Are you stupid? You just changed your mind."
Xu Tingsheng hesitated to speak.
During this period of time, Xiao Xiang Ning actually felt those changes, she said:
"Xu Tingsheng, even if I hate, don't understand, don't like, don't look pretty, it doesn't matter what I want, you don't want to look for me if you play hooligans... Then, you don't like Da Xiangning anymore? You don't care about Da Xiangning anymore. ,Yeah?"
"No." Xu Tingsheng raised his face so that Xiang Ning could not see it.
"Are you crying? Xu Tingsheng."
"No."
"Then you really don't care about me from now on?" Little Xiang Ning pushed Xu Tingsheng's shoulders one by one, and said, "Xu Tingsheng, you've already ignored me, do you know that? How can you ignore me?"
"Did you miss it? Is this... extortion?" Xu Tingsheng thought for a while with a wry smile, and said, "Don't worry, change the way of management. Do you remember the mobile phone number I gave you?"
"Keep the note, it's on the phone... I'll save it next time Mom returns it to me."
It seems that Xiang Ning thought that the new mobile phone that the uncle bought her was just confiscated by her mother, and Xu Tingsheng couldn't tell Xiang Ning that the mobile phone was already in his own hands. Be clear, and you can remember it anytime, anywhere. If you encounter something in the future, just call me, and I will come."
"Forever?"
"Until the day I die."
"Do you think that counts?"
"Not counting."
"Then what is it?"
"For example, if you were wronged or bullied..."
"I won't be bullied again, any more?"
"For example, when you grow up, one day... want to buy an island."
…
Xiang Ning didn't allow Xu Tingsheng to tear off the word "Xiang" on the back, and let him just send herself to the school gate, the reason was still the same: "You've seen me off."
Xu Tingsheng walked to the left, and Xiao Xiang Ning walked to the right. She was carrying her schoolbag and was holding his clothes by the hem with one hand.
If someone sees it from a distance, in the picture, the man, with the word "Xiang" stuck on the back of his clothes, walks beside him a cute girl with long hair.
It looks so beautiful, but it is actually a parting.
"Go slowly." Xiao Xiang Ning said.
"It's late." Xu Tingsheng said.
"No... oops, Dad."
Xiang Ning's father was standing at the school gate, maybe because Xiang Ning came home late, he was worried, so he came to the school. Then, it just hit. When they bumped into each other, little Xiang Ning was still holding on to Xu Tingsheng's clothes tightly.
Father Xiang pushed Xiang Ning aside first, turned around and walked in front of Xu Tingsheng.
"Uncle, I'm sorry."
Under Xishan Pagoda, Xu Tingsheng, the boss of Hucheng Education, a shareholder of Tianyi Media, and a member of the reincarnation band, Xu Tingsheng, is like a primary school student who has made a mistake, at a loss.
Dad Xiang didn't speak.
"I'm sorry, I promise this is the last time, I just give her another class, and then explain to her that I won't be tutoring her because I'm too busy. My class is also suspended, until today .” Xu Tingsheng said.
"I'm sorry." Xu Tingsheng said.
"Thank you. In another week, the school will start to make up classes. Then you can ask Teacher Xiao Li to come over. Xiao Ning actually likes her very much." After Xiang's father finished speaking, he turned and left.
Xu Tingsheng just stood there, not daring to let him see the word "Xiang" on his back.
…
In the following time, Xu Tingsheng made himself work like clockwork.
The Hucheng Education Platform expanded its business platform while retaining education as the main body, and officially changed its name to "Hucheng Tongcheng". The platform covered more than 30 cities during this period, basically covering most of the important cities in the southeast coast.
Hucheng people found that their boss, who used to be "fishing for three days and posting on the net for two days", suddenly became keen on meetings, began to participate in every detail, and began to get used to working overtime with night shift employees. Late at night, early in the morning.
Lu Zhixin was the person who was most happy to see such a Xu Tingsheng.
"Why are you so motivated all of a sudden?" she asked Xu Tingsheng.
"I hope one day I can afford an island," Xu Tingsheng said.
"An island?"
"Yes, an island."
"The target is a little small."
"Why is it so small? I still don't know what kind of island it is, that... Will Greenland be allowed to sell?"
"Puchi, Greenland is considering a referendum on self-government."
"Uh, I think too much. Anyway, it's a bit famous, and none of them are cheap, right?"
Lu Zhixin smiled and said, "That's right, I bought it. According to the share ratio, 10% belongs to me?"
Xu Tingsheng said, "Why are you dividing mine? Buy another one yourself."
Apple is trying to learn to do some things. It is beginning to be able to sleep alone, and it is beginning to get used to a busy Xu Tingsheng.
But he still cooks for her every day, runs with her in the morning and takes a walk in the evening every day, and goes shopping and watching movies with her from time to time. Occasionally, Xu Tingsheng also took her to participate in some meetings and taught her some things by himself.
Several of the flowers she planted have survived, and the small balcony outside the room has begun to have color, which is already remarkable. She began to be able to independently review the registration information, rejoicing and fighting high.
Xu Tingsheng didn't want to let himself be idle, he didn't dare to let himself be idle.
No matter how late he came home, the fatter and lazier Dongdong would lie down next to the sofa, look up at Xu Tingsheng, wag his tail, then bury his head and sleep peacefully.
Because of Xiang Ning's relationship with the third year of junior high school, the school also started summer tutoring.
The tutoring didn't stop, Li Linlin had already been there six times.
Xu Tingsheng found some time to ask her privately: "Well, how many times have you been here, do you think Xiang Ning is still happy? Is there any rebellious emotion? Does she work hard?"
Li Linlin said: "It's pretty good. I see her smiling all day long, very polite and hardworking."
"That's good. Thank you for your hard work."
"Don't worry, I will definitely help her get into No. 1 Middle School. Now that the tutoring has been changed to twice a week, and I have to go to class again, Hucheng's work will be delayed a lot."
Li Linlin was actually very puzzled, but she didn't ask why Xu Tingsheng cared so much about a tutor student... Maybe it was because it was his first student and he had feelings for him.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, we are recruiting people batch by batch now, and we have enough people." Xu Tingsheng hesitated for a while after speaking, and said hesitantly, "She, that student Xiang Ning, has she asked you about me?"
Li Linlin thought for a while: "It seems that there is no... yes, no."
"Oh, so... that's fine, anyway, you bother a lot." Xu Tingsheng didn't know whether he should be disappointed or happy because of it, maybe such a young child can easily forget everything, right? He spoke as calmly as possible.
"good".
Li Linlin turned around and walked a few steps, then turned around suddenly, and said, "By the way, one thing is quite strange, that is, when she was studying social synthesis, she suddenly became particularly interested in geography, and asked me every time, can the island be sold? The Caribbean, the Pacific Ocean, are there any small, beautiful, and inexpensive islands?"
"Okay." Xu Tingsheng grinned uncontrollably and nodded vigorously.
"Okay?" Li Linlin asked suspiciously, "Brother Xu, you are smiling like a child."
"Ah, it's not because she asked an interesting question." Xu Tingsheng explained.
"Well, I'm going to class then."
"OK."
Xu Tingsheng felt that he could finally relax, and then, one night, he suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number.
"Hello."
The other side didn't speak, only shallow breathing.
Xu Tingsheng knew who it was.
"Little Xiang Ning, did something happen to you?"
Xiang Ning still didn't make a sound.
The sound of quiet breathing lasted for a minute, two minutes, three minutes...
Xu Tingsheng listened quietly.
"Wow… "
There was a crying sound from the microphone, the kind of crying that had been held back for a long time with great difficulty. After crying for a long time, Xiang Ning choked up and said:
"Xu Tingsheng, uncle, uncle liar, I'm little Xiang Ning. I'm fine, I'm obedient and work hard. I just miss you very much."
