It's just today, in our old shared home, the pain feels particularly intense. He greedily inhaled the air, missing her terribly.But he wouldn't go to her, nor could he. He only hoped that she would ta...I gave Tinglan one, and symbolically gave Lu Kuo, who was opposite, the same question.
Lu Kuò: No need at all!
"Just now, he said: "Tinglan, if you don't understand, just ask him. I have something to do, so I'll go first."
Fled the classroom with a backpack.
Tinglan was concentrating on her homework and didn't think much of it.
Zuo Yu'an's question was just like his lectures, clear and concise, each point connecting to the next. It was even more detailed than what the teacher explained. So as Ting Lan listened and worked through it, she suddenly understood.
Zuo Yu'an quietly accompanied her, his attention unknowingly drawn to her hands. They were beautiful, fair and slender. He recalled the feeling of their palms touching during the arm-wrestling competition that day, and the entanglement of their fingers in his dreams.
She turned her head slightly and took a sip of water, allowing her wildly beating heart to calm down a little.
How could a young boy possibly hide his thoughts He hadn't yet mastered the art of keeping his emotions in check, nor had he learned to control their expression. Fortunately, the girl beside him wasn't paying attention to these things and didn't notice the burning passion in his heart.
He is a goal-oriented person, carefully planning and working towards every step he will take in the future. She was an unexpected surprise to him, she was his first love, just one glance was enough to be drawn into her whirlpool, woven tightly, inescapable.
And yet she hadn't done anything, nor did she know anything.
She was so absorbed in doing the questions that her head was getting closer and closer to the desk. He couldn't help himself, he reached out with his palm and pushed her forehead.
“Sit tight, and watch carefully.”
Hearing Lan had just finished the last question, he raised his head with a strength from his palm, looked at him, his eyes sparkling like stars, and said happily.
“Ready.”
Today, because of his explanation just now and the accompanying exercises, everything that wasn't grasped in class is now digested, and he feels a sense of ease and joy.
Zhuo Yu'an suddenly looked at her face so closely, his heart rippled with countless waves. The ripples spread across the lake surface, and her smile was like a strong wind, pushing these waves higher and higher. At this moment, he desperately wanted to hug her, not for anything else, just wanting to hold her would calm the turbulent waves within him.
Restless youth, with nowhere to go.
I'd be afraid to move, scared of scaring her. Afterward, I wouldn't even be able to be friends with her. Just like how she treated the guy who confessed to her, after that, whenever they saw each other in school, she would avoid him completely, as if he were a dangerous beast.
A well-behaved and naive girl, both heartwarming and a little frustrating.
Zuo Yu'an took her homework and looked at it question by question. Seeing that all the answers were correct, he praised her.
"Great!"
Tinglan felt a bit embarrassed: "Thank you, I always trouble you with teaching me."
Then she glanced at Lu Kuo's desk, and the blank exam paper on it: "Is Lu Kuo angry"
"Hmm "
"You were supposed to be teaching him, but ended up teaching me instead. Isn't he angry" He looked like he was having a tantrum and just walked away without doing any problems.
“Oh, it’s the same if I teach him tomorrow.”
Tinglan took one look at the time and realized it was getting late. She hurriedly packed up her books and rushed home. If she got back too late, her mother would scold her. After walking a few steps, she suddenly remembered that her classmates had been helping her for half a day, and she just left like that. It seemed rather impolite.
So I stopped and said to Zhuo Yunan, "I'll buy you a drink."
Zhuo Yu'an was already used to her indifference, so when she suddenly responded, he was taken aback. He then chuckled and said:
“Okay.”
The two walked side by side to the school snack bar outside. Tinglan asked, "What do you like to drink"
To be honest, Zhuo YUAN doesn't drink beverages. He usually only drinks water, but after glancing at the carbonated drink in her hand, he said
“I’ll have this too.”
Listening happily took another bottle to the counter to pay.
Tinglan's family didn't allow her to drink it either, but she and Chengchen often bought some after school and finished it at home. So while waiting for the bus, she unscrewed the cap and took small sips, looking satisfied. When the bus was about to reach her stop, she still had half a bottle left. She didn't want to throw it away, so she just drank it all in large gulps, her cheeks bulging.
Soda, well, it's already prone to causing burps. Drinking so many gulps all at once caused bloating, and suddenly a big burp choked me, I coughed violently, and my face turned red from choking.
Just as she arrived at her stop, she coughed and bent down to get off the bus. Everyone on the bus looked at her, it was so embarrassing.
Zhuo Yu'an also rushed out of the car with her and patted her back. It took a while before she calmed down.
Tinglan felt both embarrassed and amused. As an adult, she almost choked on her drink! If Cheng Chen was here, they would definitely have laughed their heads off. In front of classmates she didn't know well, she toned it down a bit.
She chuckled, started hiccuping again, quickly said goodbye and then ran home.
Zhuo Yu'an also smiled, watching her back until she disappeared before taking the next bus home.
The drink in my hand remained unopened the whole time, clutched tightly. I had intended to put it in the fridge once I got home, but as soon as I opened the door, the nanny greeted me with a happy smile and said, "Yu'an, Teacher Cheng is back from his business trip."
His mother, Cheng Zhimin, saw him and said with a smile: "Why are you home so late today Go wash your hands and have dinner."
But the smile didn't last long. Seeing the carbonated drink in his hand, he immediately put on a stern face: "How can you drink this junk food Throw it away, throw it away."
When Cheng Zhimin came over to help him with his school bag, she also took his drink and threw it away.
Zhuo Yu'an dodged and switched the cup to his other hand, protecting it: "I haven't drunk."
"Why did you buy it if you're not going to drink it Throw it away! This junk food is bad for your health. Come on, throw it over here and eat your dinner. Mom made your favorite!"
Fortunately, Cheng Zhim in did not insist on throwing away the drink. After giving her instructions, she turned around and went to busy herself with other things.
He couldn't put it in the refrigerator, so he had to take it back to his room and put it beside his desk, then went out to wash his hands and eat.
This was the first time his parents had brought him to Qining, and the first time his mother appeared in the house and cooked a meal for him. However, her cooking skills were average and not as good as those of the nanny at home.
Cheng Zhimin saw her son, looking handsome and clean-cut. She was very pleased with him. At the dinner table, she mainly asked about how he was doing in school and if he was adapting to life in Qining.
Zuo Yu'an replied, "Pretty good." There's nothing to adapt to.
"That's good. Your parents came to pick you up because they wanted to spend more time with you, but as it turns out, their work has gotten even busier."
"Well, it doesn't matter." Zhu Yu'an was indifferent. Anyway, since he was a child, his parents were almost never around, so it was the same wherever he was.
He knew his mother wasn't truly busy with work, but chose to stay with his father. On the surface, it seemed like a harmonious marriage, a dutiful wife following her husband's lead. However, deep down, she was wary of other women potentially vying for his attention. Today is a good day to show preference.ce. As they waited for the elevator, Shu Tinglan turned around, put her hands on his neck and tiptoed up, giving him a kiss and saying, "Don't worry."Then let him go and enter the elevator.Zuo Yu'an s...
