When he went to the musical instrument store, Zhou Zekai did not expect that he found a job as a tutor for himself. That's right, the piano teacher was a third-year girl named Ruan Jingshu. This made Zhou Zekai a little strange. There are still many rich people.
Ruan Jingshu's mother, Ruan Mu, asked Zhou Zekai to teach her daughter the piano at the request of her daughter. She mainly asked the owner of the musical instrument shop. The boss had a good relationship with Ruan's mother. People are also completely stress-free.
It's strange to say that my daughter suddenly wants to learn piano for some reason. Ruan's mother just bought a piano from a musical instrument store. It cost 80,000 yuan, which is not too expensive, but the piano teacher is not easy to hire, and her daughter has to go to school. , can only study on Saturday and Sunday, and her daughter doesn't seem to plan to take the grade test, so Ruan's mother agreed to her daughter after Ruan Jingshu made this request.
She also proposed to Zhou Zekai that she wanted Zhou Zekai to teach her daughter how to learn piano. Knowing that the current price for a single teacher teaching is 100 yuan an hour, Ruan's mother was naturally not stingy and paid this price.
As for Zhou Zekai... He naturally wanted to refuse. He thought he could make a lot of money just by writing the manuscript, but after seeing Ruan Jingshu's appearance, he suddenly withdrew his rejection.
Ruan Jingshu is fourteen years old this year. She looks sweet and speaks softly, but it makes Zhou Zekai feel familiar for no reason. After thinking about it carefully, he can't think of anything. However, this familiarity also made Zhou Zekai agree to teach Ruan Jingshu the piano. Two days, six days a week, two hours a day.
In addition, Ruan's mother was even more happy when she found out that Zhou Zekai was a key class student in the best high school in Mengcheng. She thought it was a good idea to invite this little teacher, and planned to investigate Zhou Zekai's grades at school.
It was almost three o'clock before they separated from Ruan's mother. Zhou Zekai was still a little strange, because he always felt that Ruan Jingshu was a little too familiar with him, and the way she looked at him was not like the way other little girls looked at him.
No matter what, I still didn't think about it anymore. Zhou Zekai returned home and made several sets of papers to calm down, and drove Ruan Jingshu out of his mind before lying on the bed and going to sleep.
It’s another new week, Zhou Zekai who came to the school studied hard, and by the way, received a letter from the school on Monday afternoon, that’s right... the manuscripts he submitted to "Boys and Girls" were also replied, and two were selected. Because it was relatively long, there were 10,000 words in two articles, and the price offered was a bit higher, and the price was 160 for 1,000 words, which made Zhou Zekai very satisfied, and even picked up the school teacher's landline to help make a call.
The head teacher, Mr. Wang, was a little curious when he saw that the student seemed to have submitted some manuscript and got a reply.
"Zekai, what manuscript did you write?"
He never expected that the teacher would be so curious, but Zhou Zekai didn't intend to hide it, he said.
"It's just short stories in some magazines, the kind for little girls."
Teacher Wang felt even more amused when he heard this. After hearing Zhou Zekai say that he had adopted a pseudonym Zhou Xiaocute, and that he had voted for magazines that his daughter liked to read, Teacher Wang suddenly felt helpless.
"You are now in the most important stage of the third year of high school. Although the teacher does not exclude you from writing these things, you must really focus on your studies so that you can be admitted to a good university, you know?"
Zhou Zekai's grades were among the best in the class. Among the students led by Teacher Wang this year, Zhou Zekai was probably the best, so Teacher Wang had high expectations for him.
"Mr. Wang, I know. Thank you for your concern. I will definitely take care of my studies and not let my grades drop."
He is the one who wants to point his sword at the number one scholar in science in the country, so the grades and the like cannot be delayed at all.
After talking with Teacher Wang, Zhou Zekai returned to the classroom and entered a new round of study with his classmates, but he did not expect that the sample book of "Angel Meng" was delivered quite quickly. Zhou Zekai, who got the book from the courier at the door, couldn't laugh or cry.
After returning to the classroom with the book, he opened the book and followed the catalog to find his name. Two of his novels were printed on it this time, and it is estimated that the review speed of the new manuscript should be faster this time.
There are two manuscripts, one is called "Little Fox" and the other is called "I'm Waiting for You in Winter". These two manuscripts were written by Zhou Zekai. A few thousand words outline a short story. The pseudonym, Zhou Zekai, is fun. Thinking about it, if there is a chance to expose this news in the future, it will be a terrible thing for many people.
After class on Friday, Zhou Zekai sent Xu Shuyun home again. On the way, Xu Shuyun wanted to talk to Zhou Zekai many times, but she didn't open her mouth. When they finally reached Xu Shuyun's house, Xu Shuyun finally pulled Zhou Zekai's sleeve, and the two stopped. In place.
"I... I have already secretly asked my father, you, you are really my brother, right?"
Xu Shuyun's eyes were a little red, thinking of her father's sad appearance of smoking a cigarette when she was questioned by her that day, she also felt very sad, why is she not her parents' biological child
Why... Why did such a brother suddenly appear
"Yes." Zhou Zekai nodded, looking at the girl with red eye circles, he felt a little unbearable, but he still stretched out his hand to rub her hair and said.
"Shuyun, I tell you that I am your elder brother. I don't want you to do anything for me, or to recognize me. I just want to protect you for a short time. It's not peaceful recently. I know you have your own brother now. Your parents are very good to you, so you should also be very good to your parents. At the beginning, your brother was not good and fell ill, so your parents chose to sell you. This matter is very important to you. It may be unacceptable, but this is the fact, no matter whether you deny me and my sisters, you are still our sister, if there is anything that cannot be solved, please tell me immediately, and I will help you solve it."
The handsome boy in front of him is so gentle, but he said the cruelest words in the world to Xu Shuyun. Was she actually sold because of her brother in front of her? Do her biological parents dislike her that much? Is she not as important as her brother
All kinds of thoughts filled her mind, Xu Shuyun wanted to say something and wanted to accuse, but facing Zhou Zekai, she couldn't say a word, tears fell down, and finally she was held in Zhou Zekai's arms and took pictures of her back.
"I'm so scared... why did you show up? I'm really scared, afraid that my parents won't want me..."
The choked accusation made Zhou Zekai feel uncomfortable. He wanted to say comforting words, but he couldn't, because he had to protect this girl's life, no matter whether she would resent him in her future life or not.
At this moment, Xu's mother, who bought vegetables on the side of the road and was walking home with her hands, saw a girl who seemed to be her own daughter, who was hugged by a boy, and remembered what was wrong with her daughter these days Son, he ran over quickly, and when he came, Xu Shuyun raised her head from Zhou Zekai's arms embarrassingly, wiping her tears.
"Who are you! Are you bullying my daughter!"
When Xu's mother came over, she saw her daughter crying. She immediately felt that this boy must have bullied her daughter. Xu Shuyun was taken aback by the fierce look on his face. She didn't expect to meet her mother here.
"Mom, that's not the case. He didn't bully me."
Zhou Zekai finally understood that he had met Xu Shuyun's adoptive mother. Thinking of this, he knew that the best way was to confess everything, so he calmly looked at the mother who was protecting her daughter, and said.
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Zhou Zekai, and I'm Shuyun's biological brother. Shuyun has been taken care of by you all these years. I thank you on behalf of our whole family."
After speaking, he bowed to the woman, then raised his head, only to find that the woman was pale and looked frightened.
"You! You brat! What are you talking about! My brother, my family has only one daughter, Shuyun, and Shuyun is my own daughter. You evil-hearted, are you bullying Shuyun to be obedient! If you dare to talk nonsense, I will Just call the police!"
Mother Xu knew whether Xu Shuyun was her daughter, and because she knew it, she was even more frightened, fearing that her daughter would be taken away one day, but she knew that the reason why Shuyun came into their hands was because of Shuyun's My brother's hospitalization expenses were not enough, so the family had no choice but to sell Shuyun. Now that they have managed to raise Shuyun so much, could it be that this family is so brazen and wants to come and recognize Shuyun back! Do you want to sell it again! !
Xu Shuyun didn't expect her mother's reaction to be so strong. Being held by her mother, her eye circles were slightly red, knowing that her mother was reluctant to leave her, so why wasn't she like this? She also didn't want to leave her father and mother.
"Auntie, my parents don't know about the fact that I found Shuyun, and I will also hide it. Since Shuyun became your daughter because of your fate, she will be your daughter in the future. She didn't want to take her home, but because the school was not peaceful during this period, and she was afraid that Shuyun would be bullied, so she wanted to send her home. Don't worry, Shuyun is your daughter and will always be, She can deny my brother, because I was sold because of me, Shuyun. Aunt, I am very grateful to you and my uncle for raising Shuyun. You took good care of her. I am really grateful. "
Once again, she bowed to the woman in front of her. This time, Mother Xu finally calmed down. Maybe she was relieved when she heard Zhou Zekai say that he didn't come here to snatch her daughter, but she grasped the important point immediately.
"You said it's not peaceful here recently?"
Zhou Zekai saw that Xu's mother was also very concerned about Xu Shuyun, so he said.
"Recently, there are a lot of motorcyclists on the road near the school, and there are gangsters who don't know where they come from. Shuyun is a little girl. I am afraid that she will be bullied, so I send her home every Friday after school. Don't worry, I won't Let her suffer any harm."
When Xu's mother heard this, she also felt a little scared. Thinking of her daughter's appearance as a road idiot, she didn't want to blame Zhou Zekai anymore. Since her daughter already knew about this matter, it was best to tell her, so she invited Zhou Zekai to have dinner at home...
