In the last evening self-study session, before get out of class was over, Ning Xingzhou packed his schoolbag and rushed out of the classroom as soon as the bell rang.
Lu Yuan noticed his movement, closed the book, and gave him a probing look.
"I found a tutor on the part-time platform, and I agreed to start making up lessons today." Ning Xingzhou explained in a low voice.
"You found it yourself?" Lu Yuan keenly caught the information point, and frowned, "Didn't your parents find it?"
Ning Xingzhou was stiff for a moment. He touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, "No, I live alone."
Lu Yuan was silent for a while, many guesses flashed in his mind, he silently packed up his things, and said, "I'll be with you."
His voice was thin and hoarse, but Ning Xingzhou could hear the concern in it, but he didn't quite understand, "What do you mean? Do you want to live with me?"
He thought about it, and said, "That's pretty good."
"..." was misunderstood into another meaning, but Lu Yuan didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, he tensed up, a little embarrassed, "I mean, I will meet the tutor with you."
His deskmate was a bit dull, and he lived alone, and he didn't know where to find a tutor. What if he ran into a bad person.
"Don't be so troublesome, you and I are not on the same road. If you go home after a long detour, I will worry instead."
Ning Xingzhou shook his head, suddenly remembered something, his eyes flickered, his face was sullen on purpose, and his tone seemed to complain, "Besides, I don't have your contact information, so I can't confirm whether you have arrived home safely."
Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't have the nerve to tell the other party the actual situation. He frowned slightly, leaned back, and looked down at Ning Xingzhou, "I've been at the same table for so long, so it's okay to stay at your house for a day, right?"
His voice is rare and casual, revealing some pretending to be relaxed, but he is actually embarrassed and nervous inside, afraid that his deskmate will say no.
Asking to go to someone else's house is really not something he would do. But if you don't go, you really don't feel relieved.
"Of course, you are welcome anytime~" Ning Xingzhou smiled, happy but also disappointed.
He didn't ask for contact information, he still wanted to imitate the online teaching and send good morning and good night every day to deepen his relationship. But... the fact that the other party is willing to visit his house means that he is considered a friend, right
Thinking of this, the corners of Ning Xingzhou's mouth couldn't stop turning up. He propped his chin with both hands, and tilted his head to observe his deskmate.
He still has a cold face, but the hostility between his brows has dissipated a lot, and he still smiles occasionally, and even cares about him obliquely. This should be... the result of his hard work for so many days, right
Thinking of the opponent's steadily increasing influence value, Ning Xingzhou felt quite fulfilled. Although Lu Yuan is the object of his task, after so many days of contact, it is difficult for him to treat him purely as a cardboard figure.
With flesh and blood and feelings, his cold temperament is just a shell pretending to be strong. I feel that the other party is a very good and hard-working boy, and when I think about the original ending of the other party, I will inevitably feel unbearable.
No matter what, he sincerely hopes that he can lead the other party on the right path and have a bright future.
While thinking wildly, the get out of class bell rang. Lu Yuan got up silently, seeing Ning Xingzhou's eyes flying into the sky, he stretched out his hand and waved in front of him with some amusement, "Let's go."
"Oh, good!"
…
Fifteen minutes later, Lu Yuan followed Ning Xingzhou to a high-end residential area. The residential environment with complete facilities and excellent greening, well-organized law and order, and a spacious, clean and tidy living room are completely different from his cramped and damp home.
He lowered his eyelids to hide the inferiority and unwillingness that flashed in his eyes. Sure enough, a good enough family condition can raise a sunny and innocent child like Ning Xingzhou.
"Would you like something to drink?" Ning Xingzhou said, opened the refrigerator, looked at the rows of strawberry milk and fell into thought. In the end, he took a bottle and handed it to Lu Yuan in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I only have this one, so I don't have to choose."
Because he has always lived alone, all the things at home are bought according to his own taste. In addition to the ready-made strawberry milk in the refrigerator, it is the raw material for making strawberry milk by hand.
"Thank you." Lu Yuan took a sip of the strawberry milk, and as expected, it was very sweet. The tablemate seems to have a sweet tooth, even the drinks are so sweet, no wonder, the tablemate always has a sweet taste, he was a little distracted thinking.
"The tutor will be here in a while, do you want to attend the class with me?" After he finished speaking, he felt that his question was a bit redundant, so he asked himself and replied: "Forget it, today's lectures are all junior high school courses, don't you Need to hear."
"It's okay, I'll listen with you." By the way, let's observe the personality of the tutor. Because of his awkward background, he came into contact with the complicated society prematurely, and because of this, he has a good eye for people.
"Eh?" Ning Xingzhou blinked, feeling that it was unnecessary, but he didn't want to reject Lu Yuan's kindness, "Well then, I'll let you get acquainted with my family first."
"This is the guest room at the entrance. No one has lived in it. I will tidy it up for you after the make-up lessons. Then, this is the study room. I plan to make up lessons with the teacher here later. Next to it is my bedroom. I happen to have another one in the room. Desk, if you don't want to attend lectures, you can do your homework there..."
While he was chattering non-stop, the door intercom at home rang. After connecting, he could see the handsome face of the tutor from the monitor, "I'm downstairs in the community, please unlock the door of the unit."
The tutor is a good-looking male college student, wearing a pair of glasses, with a gentle appearance. The voice is very magnetic, it is the kind of Susu tune that little girls love very much.
The teacher's surname is An. When he saw Ning Xingzhou's appearance, he was amazed for a moment, but he didn't show it. He just smiled gently and extended his hand to Ning Xingzhou politely, "You are classmate Ning, right?"
There were two people who opened the door for him, one smiled sweetly, and the other stood aside coldly, his eyes full of scrutiny and vigilance. You can tell who is in contact with him on the tutoring platform.
"Hmm, hello, Mr. An." Ning Xingzhou nodded, pointed to Lu Yuan who was beside him and introduced, "This is my friend. He will attend the class with me today."
"Okay, then let's stop rambling, let's get straight to the point. This is the textbook for you. I don't know there are other students, so I only brought one copy." The tutor smiled gently, and put the textbook in the bag. A few textbooks were passed to Ning Xingzhou.
"It doesn't matter, one copy is enough." Ning Xingzhou walked into the study with his tutor, and greeted Lu Yuan, the cold-faced monster. He sat in a row with Lu Yuan, and Teacher An sat opposite.
Teacher An has a good temper and is very patient. He asked many questions no less than three times, and the other party still explained them tirelessly, but the progress was not fast.
Lu Yuan watched from the side, feeling more and more upset. Several times, Ning Xingzhou and this surnamed An's head were almost touching each other, and they talked about the topic, and kept laughing at Ning Xingzhou for what. He also deliberately suppressed his voice, pretending that he couldn't hear it!
During the whole lecture, Lu Yuan had a stinky face. Until Ning Xingzhou sent the tutor away, he didn't say hello.
Ning Xingzhou noticed that Lu Yuan was in a bad mood, and smiled embarrassedly, "It's rare for you to come to my house as a guest, and let you accompany me to attend lectures, I'm sorry~"
"It's okay, I did it voluntarily." Lu Yuan paused, "You don't need to treat me like this."
"Haha, as long as you don't mind." Ning Xingzhou frowned, remembering Lu Yuan's original intention of coming to his house today, and said, "How is it, Mr. An is not bad, right? There is nothing to worry about."
Lu Yuan had the urge to crazily speak ill of others, but in fact, although he could not understand the other party, he had to admit that the other party probably had no ill intentions.
As for those who don't pay attention to the distance, these are all his subjective feelings, which are untenable. Speaking out will make Ning Xingzhou think he is petty.
He was silent for a moment, staring straight at the other person with his light-colored eyes, and said in a very slow tone, "Actually, if it's only to this extent, I can also help you with tutoring."
He paused, and couldn't help but want to prove himself, "Even, he can do better than him."
"Eh?" Ning Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the other party suddenly got into a fight with the tutor, but he still nodded with a trusting look, "Yeah, I believe you can, but you are also a student, and the time is short It’s tight, it’s okay to ask you once or twice, but I’ll be embarrassed to take up your time every day.”
"..." Lu Yuan was silent, and wanted to say that he didn't mind, but his situation was different from most students. In addition to studying, he had to keep training to prepare for the occasional competition. Time is what he lacks the most.
Ning Xingzhou was afraid that he would feel embarrassed, so he quickly changed the topic, "Would you like... to play a few games?"
land:"?"
Sometimes the other party's out-of-the-box thinking really makes him unable to keep up.
"How about two rounds?" Ning Xingzhou took out two game controllers under the TV, eager to try.
"good."
They were playing fighting games, and each of them controlled a character for PK. Lu Yuan obviously hadn't played this kind of game much, and was a little flustered for a while.
In the first game, Ning Xingzhou won a complete victory. When he defeated the opponent's character, he still had more than half of his HP left.
"Haha, I'm too strong!" As soon as he started playing, Ning Xingzhou no longer had the idea of yielding to the opponent, and all kinds of big moves fully satisfied his long-standing desire to abuse food. He laughed exaggeratedly into a ball, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's play another game." Lu Yuan was taken by himself, and he didn't want to leave the impression of "not good" in Ning Xingzhou's mind.
"Hahaha, I really like playing this kind of game. It would be great if I can play the holographic version of online games in my lifetime." While playing, Ning Xingzhou said.
"Well, yes." Lu Yuan seemed to respond casually, and Ning Xingzhou's casual mention was like a seed that took root in his heart.
In the second game, Ning Xingzhou still won, but it was not as easy as the previous game. The opponent has progressed too fast, becoming more and more proficient in operations, and even has the consciousness of avoiding big moves.
When it came to the third game, Ning Xingzhou could only narrowly win. He had no doubt that if he played another round, he would be overthrown by the opponent. This amazing learning ability is too scary.
He coughed reservedly, put down the game controller, and said earnestly: "Tomorrow we have to get up early for class, so let's stop here today and play next time~"
Lu Yuan didn't know the careful thoughts of his tablemate, he turned his head slightly, his eyes were unconsciously stained with a smile, "Well, I will definitely win you next time."
