Yo Yo, it took several days to realize that he forgot to give the gift to brother Yue Ming himself.
She originally wanted to ask the other party if he liked this little gift, but she realized later that it seemed that she rarely saw brother Yueming at home.
When Yoyo woke up in the morning, Yueming had already had breakfast, and it was said that he was going to go to cram school.
During the daytime, Yoyo had classes at home, and when it was time for dinner, Yue Ming and Aunt Zhang didn't eat at the same table as them, but at the small table in the nanny's room.
When Yoyo has eaten and practiced the piano for an hour, and finally has time to find him—
Yue Ming fell asleep.
A child in the fifth grade went to bed before nine o'clock.
Yoyo thought at first that Yueming didn't want to play with her on purpose, but one morning when she took Mianmian to watch swans by the Swan Lake in the villa area, she saw Yueming practicing English in a secluded place in the community.
"... what are you doing here?"
Yue Ming was so absorbed in his studies that he didn't notice the person behind him at all, and was so frightened that he shivered violently.
He was embarrassed and flustered, as if what he was looking at was not an English word, but a sexy beauty.
"It has nothing to do with you!"
Yue Ming's tone was unconsciously a little fierce.
The little girl leading the lamb was not frightened at all, she was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed again:
"I know! You are studying, right!"
Yueming pursed his lips, his ears and neck turned red, but he pretended to be calm and packed his things without saying a word.
"Are you leaving?" Yoyo stretched out her head to look at him curiously, "Why? You studied so hard just now, my mother always said that I don't concentrate on my studies, if only I could be like you."
Hearing this sentence, Yue Ming froze.
"...it's not good for me to be like this..."
He glanced at the little girl's beautiful pea green skirt, which was made of soft fabric visible to the naked eye. Before Yueming came, he had seen the little girl next door get beaten up by her mother for buying a hairpin on her head.
However, for Yoyo, this is just one of her many beautiful hairpins.
Yueming watched the sun shine on his old trousers that didn't fit well, and he shrank unconsciously.
next second—
He was hugged by the little girl.
"...?"
The little friend who was as clean as an expensive and exquisite doll in the window opened his arms and hugged him violently. Without warning, Yue Ming was completely taken aback, and almost pushed her away subconsciously.
But fortunately, the incident that caused her to bump her head last time was still vivid in her memory, Yue Ming withdrew the strength of her arm, and only slightly struggled to break free, distanced herself from this inexplicable little friend.
"What are you doing!"
Yoyo chuckled: "I'm hugging you!"
"W-why hug me!?"
Yue Ming blushed, not used to such intimacy.
"Because you want me to hug you." Yoyo tilted her head and explained to him clearly, "You lowered your head just now, like a puppy that no one wants. That way, you look like you are waiting to be hugged. Hug."
The little girl has a baby voice, innocent and straightforward, and she also has an expression of "it's strange whether to hug or not to hug you".
Yueming's expression went blank for a moment.
Did he just... look like she said
"...I'm not a puppy nobody wants!" Yueming retorted her.
Yoyo: "Well, you are a vicious kitten!"
"...I'm not a cat either!"
The two argued for a while without nutrition, and it took a long time for them to remember their mother's instructions.
He saw that the little girl he knew was already sitting next to him, flipping through his English textbook, feeling a little uneasy.
... In this way, it shouldn't be considered that he took the initiative to provoke her, right
"Just now, you mispronounced a word!"
The little girl sat on the bench, dangling her little feet.
"It's Christmas! Nian Rui, not Li, Christmas!"
Although Yoyo doesn't know these words, when she is at home, Gu Qizhou will consciously talk to her in English occasionally, so her daily communication in English is no problem.
Yue Ming is exactly the opposite of her.
The reason why Aunt Zhang's monthly salary in Gu's family is so high, and they are still struggling, is because Aunt Zhang sent Yueming to a private school with expensive tuition.
The private school has been teaching bilingually since elementary school. Yueming’s English scores are good, but his oral and listening skills are very poor. He often cannot understand what the teacher is saying in class. Gotta stutter.
At this time, a three-year-old girl pointed out his non-standard pronunciation, and Yue Ming tensed up all over.
The roar of laughter in the classroom.
Discuss behind the back of classmates.
Even the teacher told him that he should consider transferring to another school if he continues to fail the class.
The little boy's self-esteem was violated, and he was once again like a kitten with fur, raising its paws on guard, always ready to attack the enemy who wanted to hurt him.
Then he heard Yoyo turn the English book over and asked him:
"Brother Yueming, do you know all of these?"
Yue Ming paused, and hesitantly replied: "... I know."
"Wow-"
She put down the book, looked at him with longing eyes and applauded.
"You are awesome."
She sat upright, applauding like a disciplinary committee member who can be a model student in elementary school.
"These tadpole characters are so difficult to recognize. I can't even remember the letters my father taught me. You actually know so many words."
"..."
It turned out that she didn't know the words yet.
Yueming didn't say anything, but he was very envious of Yoyo for having a father who could teach her English.
When his father got home, he would only watch TV and play on his mobile phone, and when he was doing his homework, he would watch those noisy short videos and laugh like no one else was there.
His father would not be like this, talking to him in English and teaching him to remember these awkward words.
Yoyo doesn't know Yueming's complicated mood, her little head is full of troubles that Yueming doesn't understand.
"... Everyone is so smart, only Yoyo can't do anything, the teacher even sued my mother that I can't count...but I just can't!"
My mother said that she just doesn't have enough pressure, and people are forced to do everything.
But you can't do the math, you can't do the math, you just can't tat
Yueming at the side looked at the little girl who dared to shine like a little sun just now, and suddenly his head was downcast, as if the top of his head was covered by dark clouds, and he became listless all of a sudden.
"...Don't be sad." Yue Ming hurriedly said, "I, I can teach you."
Yoyo looked up at him, then imitated the adult sighing and said:
"It's useless, just give up."
I don't know why, seeing Yoyo so dejected, Yueming felt inexplicably anxious. He fumbled in his pocket and took out a box of pencil refills.
"Come here, I'll teach you."
Yo Yo, I don’t think I can learn it. After all, my brother has taught it, my sister has taught it, and the teacher my mother invited has taught it many times, but she just can’t.
However, she still squatted obediently.
"...Look, we have ten pencil leads now..."
The two fluffy little heads got together and looked at the pencil lead on the chair seriously.
Mianmian, who was nibbling on the grass in the flower bed, also stretched her head over curiously, watching the two human cubs concentrating on discussing... addition and subtraction within ten.
"...what is seven plus three?"
"… ten?"
"...what is five plus two?"
"... six... no, no, no! It's seven!"
Yoyo's eyes are shining like stars.
"Am I right!?"
As if infected by her joy, Yueming also showed his first heartfelt smile after coming here.
"That's right!"
"Yeah!" Yoyo was so moved that tears were about to fall, she turned to look at Mianmian, "Mianmian, I'm not an idiot! I can count! I know five plus two equals seven!!"
Mianmian also seems to be happy for her, and wants to rub Yoyo's face with her head.
However, just as it was about to approach, it was waved away by a powerful little hand.
"Go away!"
Yueming's small face suppressed the smile just now, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and an extremely disgusted expression appeared on his beautiful face.
He stared.
Resisting, abhorrent.
"Don't bully Mianmian!"
Yoyo stretched out her soft arms to hug the little lamb that was pushed away.
She said with great embarrassment:
"If you bully Mianmian, I won't be able to play with you. Don't bully Mianmian, okay?"
Yueming endured and endured, but he didn't hold back, and lowered his voice and said:
"It's not a lamb, it's a monster."
Yoyo: "Then, then I am also a monster! Mianmian is my friend! What is it and what am I!"
"..."
Yue Ming thought she was so stupid.
How can someone say that he is a monster
He could tell that Yoyo was not a monster at all, she had an aura similar to his.
Yueming couldn't tell what it was, but he didn't mistake her for a monster.
Seeing Yoyo standing in front of the little monster like an old hen protecting the calf, Yueming didn't continue to argue with her, packed up his things, carried his schoolbag and walked towards the far, far away bus station alone.
—
After returning home, Yoyo quickly put this matter behind her, and ran all over the room to show off that she knew how to count.
Shen Jingchuantou, who was tortured by Yoyo's arithmetic talent, was the only one who didn't believe it.
"What is one plus eight?"
"Nine!" Yoyo replied confidently.
"What about three plus four?"
"Seven!" Yoyo smugly circling in circles.
so smart
Shen Jichuan thought for a while, then asked again:
"Then nine plus two...?"
Yoyo's confident expression is stuck.
oops!
This question is beyond the outline!
Seeing that her smug little expression was about to droop like a deflated ball, Shen Jichuan put it away as soon as it was good, and comforted her:
"It doesn't matter if you don't, it's too difficult, it won't be normal."
Shen Jichuan didn't expect that one day, he would make too difficult comments on addition and subtraction within twenty.
He felt that he was very calm after being tortured by Yoyo.
Yoyo regained her self-confidence, emphasizing:
"Hmm! This is so difficult, you haven't learned it yet!"
Shen Jichuan wondered why Yoyo suddenly became enlightened, and when he asked her about it, Yoyo said happily:
"Brother Yueming taught me! I taught him English, and he taught me counting!"
... As long as you can't remember the twenty-six letters, can you teach others English
Shen Jichuan expressed doubts about this.
Yoyo was still immersed in his own strength, and by the way, he blew a wave of rainbow farts:
"Brother Yueming is amazing! He talked for a while, and I understood it now!"
"He will also recite many, many words, and he will remember them all!"
"I also saw that he has a bunch of little stars sent by the teacher! There are so many! The teacher must like him very much!"
After Yoyo, who was in high spirits, ran to show off to Yu Lan that she had become smarter today, Gu Miaomiao, who was collecting water in the kitchen, came out, apparently hearing Yoyo's voice like a small trumpet.
Aunt Zhang also heard it clearly, she said shyly:
"Miss Yoyo is smart, not because of Xiaoming, Miss Yoyo is just too kind..."
Hearing Aunt Zhang belittle Yueming subconsciously, Shen Jichuan frowned.
Gu Miaomiao was even more direct.
"Why isn't it his fault?"
The six-year-old girl looked at her with clear eyes.
"Aunt Yu invited a Ph.D. in foreign education to teach, and Shen Jichuan, the teacher said that he can even solve the sixth grade Mathematical Olympiad, but he didn't teach it."
Shen Jichuan, who was inexplicably cueed, felt Gu Miaomiao's ridicule.
The little girl still said calmly and seriously:
"If it's Yoyo from Brother Yueming's church, then he's really amazing."
Aunt Zhang looked at Gu Miaomiao in surprise.
She didn't communicate much with this precocious little girl, so she didn't expect that she would suddenly become more and more familiar with her.
"...ah, oh..."
She stammered in response.
Judging by her appearance, she must have not taken this word to heart.
Gu Miaomiao was as benevolent as possible, so she didn't say any more.
On the other hand, Shen Jichuan hesitated for a while, and couldn't help persuading him:
"Aunt Zhang, some things that adults are used to are cruel to children."
For children of this age, when the teacher asks them to write down who they want to be in the future, they will also write down the innocent and romantic dreams of becoming a scientist and an astronaut.
They don't have the concept of class yet, they believe that they are standing under the same starry sky as other children, and they believe that they can reach out for the stars when they grow up.
However, Aunt Zhang killed his innocent and beautiful world view in the most gentle way.
What she is planting now will be the inferiority complex buried deep in the child's heart.
Aunt Zhang still looked foggy, as if she didn't understand what he was saying.
Shen Jichuan sighed, unable to say any more.
—
Yoyo, who learned how to add within ten, got a new jar of sugar balls by accident.
Yu Lan: "If you can also learn the subtraction within ten, then mom will reward you with a piece of chocolate."
chocolate! ! !
Yoyo's desire to learn is unprecedentedly strong.
Although it's not like she hasn't tried temptation with snacks before, but because she really can't learn it, even if she hangs a candy in front of her with a pole, if she can't learn it, she won't learn it.
But now it's different!
She now has a gold medal counselor, Teacher Xiaoyue!
Yo Yo, practice English with Teacher Xiaoyue, and Teacher Xiaoyue takes her to learn addition and subtraction!
She wants sugar and chocolate!
Duck! ! ! !
The high-spirited child gets up early every day, and goes to Swan Lake to study early in the morning according to Yueming's schedule. After school, Yueming goes to cram school, and she walks sheep in the villa area.
"...do you remember what I taught you today?"
Yoyo nodded and asked:
"Do you remember what I taught you today?"
Yue Ming also nodded.
Two little teachers and elementary school students completed another day's study tasks, and both sides were very fulfilled.
"Then I'm going to class."
Yue Ming packed his schoolbag, turned around and wanted to leave, but he suddenly thought of something and stopped.
"that… "
Yueming lowered his head in embarrassment, his slender eyelashes were curly, beautiful like angel's feathers in the sunlight.
He was a little uneasy and said:
"Thank you."
"I, I like the gift you gave me last time, but because of me, I accidentally broke it."
"I asked my mother for pocket money, and I will buy glue to stick it together. Will you...will you give birth... give birth..."
Yueming is not a eloquent child.
Although he is older than Yoyo, in many cases, he is not as graceful as Yoyo.
"It's okay!" Yoyo interrupted him cheerfully, "I'll buy you a new gift next time!"
Yue Ming was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled.
"good."
The stingy Yoyo added:
"But, but I don't have any money... Don't dislike my gift!"
With her money, she bought a violin for her sister, and ice cream for her pretty brother—although she ate them all—but she is really poor now, and the red banknotes are turning green!
Yue Ming still smiled happily.
He would not despise her gift.
Watching Yoyo lead the lamb back, Yueming turned and walked in another direction, thinking:
Yoyo treats him well, and he also treats Yoyo well.
Although his mother didn't want them to get too close, but...he really liked being with Yoyo.
Moreover, as long as you protect her well and don't let her cry, mother shouldn't be angry, right
Just as Yue Ming was about to leave the villa area, a sports car with a roaring engine rushed into it from the outside.
The sports car drives fast and crookedly, not following the prescribed route at all.
Yueming didn't pay much attention to it at first, but he took two steps before thinking of Yoyo behind.
Usually, the roads in the villa area are wide, and the vehicles drive very slowly. Youyo is too young to pay attention to the road, not to mention that she is leading an eye-catching sheep. Usually, the car will actively avoid her when it sees her. .
But the one just now—
Yue Ming was startled, and immediately turned around and ran back.
After running along this road for less than a minute, he saw Yoyo fell in the grass beside the road and didn't get up for a long time. The sheep was lying next to her, licking a slightly deep tooth on her wrist. print.
It was left behind by Mianmian to get her off the road.
"YoYo!"
Youyou, who tied her head tightly to the lawn, didn't know what happened. When she sat upright with her head on the grass, she saw Yueming running over in a panic, and pushed Mianmian to the ground.
"You are not allowed to eat her!!"
Unsuspecting, Mian Mian was pushed to the ground, whimpering in grievance.
Yoyo was taken aback, her first reaction was to pounce on Mianmian on the ground, hugging it and patting the dirt on her body.
"Mianmian, are you alright!?"
There was a cry in the little girl's voice, and she felt extremely distressed.
But Yueming's eyes were fixed on the marks on Yoyo's wrist that were bitten by continuous teeth.
bright red.
There was a layer of skin on the white and tender arm.
Yueming's mind was full of the monster he saw for the first time in the countryside when he was three years old, it was a very vicious wolf.
The wild wolf stared at him with a pair of dark green eyes, as if looking at his own food without warmth.
—Then swallowed the little yellow dog standing in front of him in one gulp.
The little yellow dog is his closest friend.
It was eaten by monsters like this.
Yueming looked at the marks on Yoyo's wrist, and deep anger and fear surged in his beautiful pupils.
Monsters can eat people.
So, Yoyo, will it be eaten one day
—
Gu Miaomiao soon discovered that Yoyo and Yueming, who had been inseparable every morning before, seemed to be arguing.
"He pushed Mianmian!" Yoyo said angrily, "He pushed too hard! One click! Pushed Mianmian down! Mianmian hurts!"
Gu Miaomiao was a little surprised by Yueming's behavior.
After all, in her eyes, Yueming is just a stubborn kid with a bit of introversion and low self-esteem, who would take the initiative to push Yoyo's favorite pet, which is not something that Yueming would do.
That afternoon, Yueming, who had always stayed in the room and never went out, took the initiative to knock on the door of Yoyo's room.
"Yo Yo, I'm sorry."
Yueming's voice softened, coupled with his soft and beautiful facial features, it was easy to soften one's heart.
"I shouldn't have pushed Mianmian today. I was wrong. I just thought Mianmian bit you, so I pushed it."
The little boy who looks like an angel has clear and sincere eyes, and his eyes are full of apology.
He gently placed a small bag of sugar bought with pocket money outside Yoyo's room door.
After waiting for a few seconds, a fluffy head protruded from the door.
The little girl's eyes were a little red, and she looked at him suspiciously:
"… Really?"
Yueming nodded vigorously.
"I really know I'm wrong!"
Yoyo looked at him for three seconds, her expression softened, but she still emphasized:
"Don't apologize to me, you have to apologize to Mianmian, if Mianmian doesn't forgive you, I can't forgive you either."
Yueming smiled slightly and promised very well.
"Then I'll feed the cotton grass! Apologize to it—this one is for you!"
He stuffed the candy into Yoyo's arms, turned around and ran quickly towards the yard.
Seeing the back of Yueming leaving, Yoyo was suddenly a little lost in thought.
Just now... Was it an illusion
I always feel that Brother Yueming's smile seems a little scary.
—
trot all the way.
Yueming came to the yard next to the sheepfold that Yoyo built for Mianmian.
It was almost evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped the thin figure of the little boy.
Mianmian in the sheepfold blinked, looking curiously at the little boy who had never approached him.
The boy who was smiling obediently and gently in front of Yoyo just now looked at him expressionlessly, and there was no smile at all in those beautiful eyes like glass beads.
suddenly.
A small stone fell on its head.
"Stay away from Gu Youyou."
The little boy frowned tightly, looking disgusted and hateful.
"You monsters, pretending to be cute little animals, are actually bad things!"
Mianmian took a step back, as if frightened by the stone he threw.
"If you dare to eat her, I will not let you go!"
After intimidating the little lamb that had just reached his chest, Yue Ming turned around and ran away with a cold face.
But he ran two steps, as if he didn't feel that he hated enough, his eyes lingered on the ground, he picked up another stone, and turned around to throw it at Mianmian over there.
His hand drew an arc in the air, just about to throw a stone—
"What do you want to do?"
Suddenly, a voice appeared behind him.
It is like the clear voice of spring water.
"lay down."
The young man said in a low voice.
"Otherwise, I promise, a bigger stone will fall on your head."
