Qiu Qiu successfully passed the semi-finals, and his family members were sincerely happy for him.
Teacher Dong, who is far away across the ocean, sent the video of his son's competition to all the students, and also brought the official 200-word draft for extra-curricular reading for foreign students, marking the pronunciation of the words that he could not understand .
Teacher Qiu sent out a red envelope in the family group very stylishly, but Uncle Shang snatched it quickly, only to find that there was only thirty cents in it.
Qiu Qiu couldn't stand it anymore.
Autumn is the autumn of autumn: Mr. Qiu, you are too stingy, only thirty cents...
I'm Lao Qiu: Thirty-two cents was enough to cut a catty of pork in our time.
I'm Lao Qiu: You are still a student, and you should focus on your studies. Although we won the first singing competition, we must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and don't forget our own mission. Old Wang Ke told me that you will hand in two papers next week.
Qiu Qiu is now in the second semester of his junior year, and he has completed all the elective and compulsory courses in these three years, so that his senior year does not need to go back to school, and he can concentrate on practice.
In fact, he has good grades and is smart. When he was in elementary school, the head teacher discussed with his parents to let him skip a grade, but Qiu's father just didn't agree.
So when other gifted children struggled to skip grades and learn to adapt to the social rules of older children, Qiu Qiu read it slowly, because there was no pressure on study, and he had time to explore other hobbies, and learning to play the guitar was one of them. .
However, everyone in the family (including Qiu Qiu himself) put playing and singing after studying. From their point of view, participating in talent shows is the same as participating in school performances, and the focus is on participation.
For example, Qiu's father is very good at playing the erhu. Every year at the New Year's party of the publishing house, he would go on stage to show his skills, but he never thought of becoming a professional Bing instead of being the editor-in-chief.
Entertainment? superstar? That world is too far away from their family.
Although competitions are important, the approaching exam month is even more important.
Qiu Qiu went to the library to write his thesis on the second day after the semi-finals. He was still wearing a T-shirt, jeans and a backpack. On the table was a ThinkPad computer and a thermos bottle with the words "Success in no time" printed on it. Except that the canteen aunt would secretly give him half a spoonful of extra food, Qiu Qiu didn't feel that participating in the competition brought any changes to his life.
During this period, Xiaoli approached him several times, saying that she would discuss with him about ordering new support uniforms. Qiu Qiu hides when he sees her now, and asks Da Xiong to help him perfunctory if he can't. Da Xiong adores her, and he pulls her to discuss her new work with her, and asks her whether the article about "Qiu Qiu" that she cheated on is a pregnant omega will be filled in.
... Just listening to them talking about the outline of the story, Qiu Qiu felt that he was going to be a big uncle.
…
After another week, the busy Fu Ruien finally had time to meet Qiu Qiu.
Qiu Qiu finished his part-time tutoring work before the exam month, and his parents paid him off one by one for this semester, and the little squirrel's treasury suddenly had a few golden melon seeds.
Qiu Qiu has collected many specialty shops in the gourmet app, but he can't find anyone to taste them with him. Finally got the chance this time, he shared more than a dozen shops in the WeChat dialog box at one go, this one serves Hong Kong food, that one serves Hunan cuisine, Qiu Qiu was dazzled by the choice.
Qiu Qiu asked distressedly: "Godfather, what dish do you want to eat? I treat you."
Fu Ruien was videoing with him, while lowering his head to instruct the documents, and said casually: "Nothing is as delicious as your cooking."
Oops, the little squirrel quickly covered its red face with its tail.
Because Xiangjiang Villa is far away from the city, it takes a whole day to go back and forth, and Qiu Qiu is in the review period, so he really can't spare so much time, so Fu Ruien thought about it for a while, and asked the driver to deliver the keys of an apartment to Qiu Qiu's on hand.
Only then did Qiu Qiu know that his godfather owned such a high-rise mansion in the city center. He stood on the top floor and looked down through the French windows. Most of the city was at his feet, and the most prosperous financial world was within reach.
Such a good location and such high-end decoration, Qiu Qiu likes it to death. This place is much better than Xiangjiang Villa. Although it is big, it is empty. Moreover, there is a subway here, and there is a supermarket downstairs, so I no longer have to travel thousands of miles to buy vegetables from the city like ants moving house.
When Fu Ruien came home from get off work, he found that the world inside the gate was full of the atmosphere of home for the first time. There was an extra pair of sneakers in the shoe cabinet, a hoodie with the school name on the hanger, a backpack on the sofa in the living room, and a few notebooks scattered on the coffee table and on the floor.
Just a few small changes made the air in this house warmer.
The aroma of creamy soup wafted from the open kitchen. Qiu Qiu was wearing a colorful apron left by the nanny, and was savoring his own creation with a spoon in his hands.
Fu Ruien stepped on the wooden floor with bare feet, walked around behind Qiu Qiu, put one hand on his side, and at the same time naturally poked his head over, asking of course: "Give me a bite."
Qiu Qiu was taken aback by his sudden appearance, but he obediently took a spoonful, brought it to his mouth and blew it twice, and then fed it into Fu Ruien's mouth.
Qiu's father doesn't like western food, so every time Qiu Qiu cooks something foreign at home, he can only eat it by himself. Fortunately, the godfather doesn't dislike it, as long as it is made by Qiu Qiu, he can eat every bite.
The two of them stood by the stove and guarded the pot, they couldn't even remember to take the second spoon, you take a bite, I feed you, the atmosphere is sweet and just right.
Fu Ruien tentatively put both hands on Qiu Qiu's waist, and gently rubbed his palms against his sensitive waist. The waist under the palm was slender and flexible, so that Tang Zi completely fell into his embrace.
Fu Ruien swallowed the sweet and greasy creamy soup in his mouth, rubbed his chin against Qiu Qiu's cheek, and hinted at him meaningfully: "Qiuqiu, don't you think we... look like an old couple?"
"Ah?" Qiu Qiu blurted out, "It should be 'old husband and young wife'?"
"..."
The "old man" was so angry that he almost suffered from geriatric disease.
Before meeting Qiu Qiu, Fu Ruien had always been very confident. He felt that he was in his prime, full of energy, rich experience, and always alert. He was the most attractive person in this world.
But his precious son is only half his age, the gap between the two of them is no longer a generation gap, it is the Mariana Trench, all the advantages that Fu Ruien is proud of, in front of Qiu Qiu, there is only one "rich man". "It can still be taken out to taste.
Although he knew that the age difference between them was real, Fu Ruien was still worried about it.
Angrily, he left Qiu Qiu to change clothes. When he came out, Qiu Qiu was obediently lying on the coffee table reading a book.
Qiu Qiu put a bowl of freshly made black pepper beef tenderloin fried pasta in his hand. He stared at the book, picked up one of the chopsticks in his hand, and fed it to his mouth. Chew it twice, swallow it with a "gudong", and then eat with the next stick.
... Fu Ruien suspected that Qiu Qiu had cast a curse on him, otherwise why would he think Qiu Qiu was super cute when he ate noodles
Seeing Fu Ruien coming, Qiu Qiu was finally willing to put down his textbooks. He took out five stacks of thick renminbi from his backpack, and put them in Fu Ruien's hands like a treasure.
The money looked like it had just been taken out of the bank. It was stacked neatly, tied up with ties, and fell together like five pink bricks, heavy.
"It's the first time I've made so much money." Qiu Qiu was particularly proud of himself.
Fu Ruien smiled and said, "That's enough? If you pass the regional finals, you can get another 100,000."
Qiu Qiu was full of longing: "In that case, I only owe you 29.92 million."
His life is like a dictionary of commendatory words, in which there is no such thing as "Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains" or "Idiots Talking about Dreams", only "Slow and Steady" and "One Step at a Time".
Fu Ruien suddenly felt a sense of urgency. He desperately wanted to spend some more money for Qiu Qiu, and it would be best if he could not pay it for the rest of his life.
"By the way, godfather, the environment here is good and the transportation is convenient. It's only three stops away from our school. We should have met here before. It saves me from wasting a day every time I go back and forth to the villa."
Fu Ruien was at a loss for words.
Qiu Qiu is very dull. Even though Xiangjiang Villa is far away from the urban area, every time he enters and exits, he is picked up by a driver, and he has never got the key to the villa... He has never realized that the villa is Fu Ruien's special place for the golden house to hide his beauty .
Fu Ruien went there every time to vent his anger, but Qiu Qiu was so lucky that he met Fu Ruien five or six times in the past three months, and every time Fu Ruien would be called away because of company affairs before getting to the point.
As a result, the two of them wandered around for so long, and the first key that the sugar son got actually belonged to the sugar daddy's private residence.
Fu Ruien is a fine person, he deliberately pushed back the topic: "If you like this place, why don't you just stay here? I have a big bed and fast wifi."
Qiu Qiu is not stupid, he knows what his godfather is thinking in his head, so he won't be fooled.
In the past, when two people slept in the same bed, it was called Huangxiang Wenxi, but now they slept in the same bed, that was called mandarin ducks crossing necks.
Qiu Qiu said firmly: "Unless the bed in my dormitory collapses, I won't stay overnight."
Fu Ruien was not angry when he was contradicted, and suggested with a smile: "How about I go to live in your dormitory tonight, let's work hard, collapse your hard bed, and just come back to live tomorrow."
Qiu Qiu was frightened by him: "...but, but there is still a big bear in my dormitory."
"Since it's a bear, I believe he's very good at hibernating."
Qiu Qiu: /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
…
The calendar on the phone skipped another week.
Early one morning, Qiu Qiu went to the library to take up a seat with his schoolbag on his back as usual, but he received a call from Da Xiong before the bench was warmed up.
As soon as the call was connected, Big Bear let out a cry. At any rate, he weighed more than two hundred catties, but he spoke in a distorted manner, and several minutes passed without uttering a word clearly.
Qiu Qiu was extremely anxious: "Don't cry, what happened?"
Big Bear sobbed and said, "Qiu, you... come back and have a look, our dormitory is gone!"
What do you mean the dormitory is gone
Qiu Qiu didn't understand, but he felt that this matter was not simple. He rode his bicycle at a speed like that of a hot wheel, and he rushed to the downstairs of the dormitory in a short while.
In fact, he noticed something was wrong when he was 300 meters away—looking from a distance, he saw thick smoke billowing in the sky, and the place where the fire was located was the fourth male dormitory building! Half of the walls on the fourth floor of the male building were blackened, the fire truck was parked downstairs, and the firefighters on the ladder were spraying water guns at the fire.
Da Xiong and a dozen other students were wrapped in blankets and sat on the flower bed at the entrance of the dormitory building. Da Xiong was full of tears and looked at the ground in a daze, looking like a Winnie the Pooh that had been robbed of honey.
Seeing Qiu Qiu approaching, Big Bear seemed to have found his backbone, and the bear hugged him, shaking and shaking non-stop.
It turned out that someone in the dormitory used a high-power electric kettle in violation of the regulations, and the cable was caught after a short circuit. Next to their dormitory was the power distribution room. The weather was dry and everything was dry, and the fire spread quickly. The big bear slept soundly, and almost became a smoked bear.
He came out in too much haste, he didn't bring anything, he didn't even bother to put on his slippers, and the two big bear paws were scalded with a layer of skin off.
After the fire was extinguished, Qiu Qiu and several other students who were not injured went into the dormitory to pick up personal belongings. Others picked up a lot of things in bits and pieces, only Qiu Qiu's dormitory was burned like a hanging stove for roast duck, and it was full of black ashes as far as the eye could see.
The school arranged for the students to live in nearby hotels, but due to the limited number of rooms, the local students did not arrange accommodation. The school issued a notice, suggesting that everyone go home and rest.
... But Qiu Qiu's mother is far away in Europe, and Qiu Qiu's father went to other places to attend a lecture, and his house keys were burned into iron lumps by the fire.
He stood downstairs in the dormitory thinking for a long time, and hesitantly dialed the phone number at the top of the address book.
The exclusive phone rang in the meeting room on the top floor of Enrui Group. Fu Ruien immediately stopped the meeting, got up and walked out with his mobile phone.
Fu Ruien's voice is always calm and reliable: "What's the matter Qiu Qiu?"
Qiu Qiu: "...Godfather, can I live with you recently?"
Fu Ruien was taken aback for a moment, then teased with a smile: "What's wrong, your bed collapsed?"
"No..." Qiu Qiu looked back at the half-burned dormitory building behind him, and said in a dazed, pitiful tone, "...my dormitory has collapsed."
"???"
