The sofa in the living room is in an "L" shape, with a transparent coffee table in front of it. Duan Jiaxu and Sang Yan sit side by side, with two people's distance between them.
The remaining end position is empty.
Sang Zhi just subconsciously sat down there, right next to Duan Jiaxu.
At this time, due to this unexpected situation, Sang Zhi's mind went blank. She even forgot to put her phone away and was still facing Duan Jiaxu, looking uneasy and nervous.
Catching a glimpse of her appearance, Sang Yan threw the game controller aside, frowned and asked, "Kid, what are you taking pictures of?"
Sang Zhi didn't know how to explain it and raised his head nervously.
Noticing the direction in which the phone was pointed, Duan Jiaxu raised his eyebrows and curved the corners of his mouth. Then, he leaned forward slightly, moved closer to Sang Zhi, and said with interest: "Huh? Take a picture.
me?"
Sang Zhi shrank back and immediately put the phone screen on the pillow to block it: "No, no."
"No?"
"..."
"Why do you take pictures of brother?" Duan Jiaxu drawled, with a few laughs in his words, "Is brother so good-looking?"
Hearing this, Sang Yan immediately sneered: "Can you please have some face?"
He seemed to have thought of something, and turned his head to look at Sang Zhi: "You don't want to take a photo to accuse——"
Before he could speak, Sang Zhi stood up abruptly, without looking at the two of them, and spoke very quickly: "I told my classmates that I have a very handsome brother."
Sang Yan's voice stopped.
Her cheeks were a little red, and she moved towards the bedroom as she spoke. It seemed that she really couldn't think of any other reason, so she held it in for a long time and then said: "——But I'm embarrassed to show them your photo."
Sang Yan: "..."
After saying that, Sang Zhi immediately ran back to the room, leaving a silence.
The living room instantly became quiet, so quiet that it seemed inexplicably awkward. The two men sat at each end, with completely different expressions on their faces, and a sharp contrast in emotions.
After a while, Sang Yan turned to look at Duan Jiaxu, her lip lines straightened, her face gradually lost expression, and a ball of depression welled up in her heart: "I thought she was going to take a photo to complain to my parents."
Duan Jiaxu tightened the curve of his lips and pretended to hum in a calm manner.
As if recalling Sang Zhi's words again, Sang Yan slowly exhaled, trying to suppress his temper, but his anger still ignited: "It's better to file a fucking complaint."
"..."
It's quiet for a few more seconds.
"Fuck." Sang Yan couldn't bear it anymore and stood up suddenly, "Just wait here."
The next second, Duan Jiaxu stood up after him, with the intention of stopping him. His chin was slightly lowered, and he chuckled: "Brother, don't worry about this matter with children, right?"
Sang Yan: "?"
Duan Jiaxu: "Children are not sensible, so there is no need."
Sang Yan looked at him expressionlessly.
"Children of this age," Duan Jiaxu patted him on the shoulder, his voice paused for a few seconds, as if he was trying to hold back his laughter, "it is true that she is a bit concerned about face. Can you please understand her?"
Want noodles.
Reason, solution, one, next.
"..."
Sang Yan's eyebrows skipped a beat: "I understand your mother."
Sang Zhi stayed in her room for a few minutes, squatting by the door and listening to what was going on outside. She could vaguely hear what Sang Yan and Duan Jiaxu were saying, but because they were not close, she couldn't hear clearly.
She thought about the excuse she just said.
It still seems very reasonable.
Waited for a while.
Sang Zhi dug out the "trophies" he had just found out of boredom.
The pixels are not clear. From the angle Sang Zhi took the photo, we can only see Duan Jiaxu's profile, which is three-dimensional and clear, but also looks soft. The corners of his lips are slightly curved, and he seems to be in a good mood.
Sang Zhi suddenly felt that everything just happened was worth it.
She couldn't help laughing, and touched the screen with her fingertips, then quickly took it back.
Sang Zhi glanced at it a few more times, then suddenly turned off the screen, holding the phone and kicking her feet. She managed to calm down, pretending not to care at all, got up and looked in the mirror.
When she felt there was no flaw, Sang Zhi coughed twice and hid her phone under the pillow. She quietly opened the door and glanced outside. Then she quickly ran to Sang Yan's room and sat down at the desk.
.
Sang Zhi opened the physics exercise book and deliberately started to find something to do for herself.
But all his attention was focused on the living room.
Not long after, someone walked in.
Sang Zhi didn't look up, but she could guess it was Duan Jiaxu. She scratched her head and pretended to do the questions.
Duan Jiaxu sat down next to her, supported his face with one hand, and glanced at the exercise book she was working on: "Child, show me your final exam paper."
Sang Zhi paused, took out the test paper from the physics book, and put it in front of him. She looked back at the original question, and her pen tip quickly stopped. She hesitated, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, can you please stop reading?"
You called me that."
Hearing this, Duan Jiaxu raised his eyes, as if he didn't understand what she said: "Huh?"
Sang Zhi looked at him but said nothing.
Duan Jiaxu reacted: "Child?"
Sang Zhi looked away and nodded silently.
Duan Jiaxu: "Don't you like my brother shouting like that?"
"No." Sang Zhi muttered, "It's just that I'm not a child anymore."
"Isn't he a child?" Duan Jiaxu felt funny, "Then you think you are a big child?"
"..."
Sang Zhi pursed her lips and ignored him.
Duan Jiaxu didn't think this was a big deal and didn't care too much: "Brother, this isn't something I'm used to."
Sang Zhi's stance was very firm: "Then you have to change this habit."
"Okay, then how do you shout?" His voice twisted, "Xiao Sangzhi?"
Sang Zhi moved her lips, feeling a little dissatisfied.
Can't the word "small" be removed?
No matter what, we must emphasize that she is small.
never mind.
Sang Zhi decided to endure it.
Anyway, at least it's better than the original.
She didn't argue with him and nodded reluctantly.
Hearing her mention, Duan Jiaxu recalled how he looked when he saw her for the first time, reached out and rubbed her head: "She seems to have grown taller."
Sang Zhi said seriously: "It will still grow."
"Yeah." Duan Jiaxu said in a casual tone, not sounding serious, "When the time comes, I will grow taller than my brother, so I can protect him."
"..." Sang Zhi imagined the scene and muttered, "It doesn't have to be that high."
Duan Jiaxu just laughed and continued to read her test paper: "Kid, you haven't listened to the class yet, have you?"
We just said it, and now we call it that.
Sang Zhi pretended not to hear.
Duan Jiaxu lazily said: "Did you hear what brother said?"
Sang Zhi felt aggrieved, but she still didn't dare to pretend that she didn't hear anything, so she leaned over to defend herself: "I heard it, but I just don't understand it."
"Why did you choose the wrong question on the change of state of matter?"
"Oh." Sang Zhi pointed, "I wrote too fast. I originally wanted to choose A."
Duan Jiaxu smiled half-heartedly and said, "Choose b for this question."
"..."
Their eyes met.
Sang Zhi felt a little embarrassed, and felt that she could not lose her momentum, so she simply said confidently: "Anyway, I just don't understand. I took the class, but I was too stupid to understand."
"Brother asked you to listen carefully to the lecture before." Duan Jiaxu said, "Forgot?"
"How long ago did that happen..."
"Then you still need brother to remind you once a day?"
Sang Zhi hesitated for two seconds and then said warmly: "That's okay."
"..." Duan Jiaxu was angry and funny, "Bring over the textbook."
Tutoring time is set at two hours a day, three times a week.
Originally, it was supposed to start on time at nine o'clock and end on time at eleven o'clock. But it turned out that Sang Zhi slept until ten o'clock, plus the time for her to wash up and have breakfast, so the two of them didn't officially start tutoring until eleven o'clock.
We took another one-hour break for lunch.
Duan Jiaxu didn't seem to be busy, and when the time came, he was still watching her do the questions. When she finished, he took them and checked them one by one, and casually mentioned what happened this morning: "You don't want to find a tutor?"
Sang Zhi said ambiguously: "I don't want to study."
"At your age," Duan Jiaxu chuckled, "What else do you want to do besides studying?"
Sang Zhi choked and puffed out her cheeks: "You don't understand."
Duan Jiaxu pointed to the wrong question and asked her to read it a few more times, and then said: "Okay, brother, I don't understand. You can do whatever you want to do, but you have to find time after school, at least don't delay your studies."
Sang Zhi: "I know."
"Go back and digest it yourself." Duan Jiaxu closed the textbook, "That's it for today."
Sang Zhi nodded.
As soon as the class ended, Duan Jiaxu leaned back in his chair again. Soon, his eyelids moved, as if he suddenly remembered something, and he said in a long voice: "Child——"
"..."
How accustomed is he to shouting like this?
Is it impossible to change it?
Sang Zhi was about to accuse.
I heard him say again: "I heard that you think my brother is handsome?"
"..."
She instantly suppressed the words in her mouth.
Duan Jiaxu slowly approached her and gave a long breath of laughter: "Let me see what you just took."
Sang Zhi didn't want to show it to him, and was extremely glad that she didn't bring her cell phone. She pretended to touch her pocket and said calmly: "The cell phone is in the room."
result.
Duan Jiaxu said naturally: "Go and get it."
"..." Sang Zhi said bravely, "I don't want it."
"Why don't you take a few more pictures?" Duan Jiaxu tilted his face and said with a hint of ridicule in his voice, "Xiao Sangzhi wants to take whatever pictures he wants. Brother will cooperate with you. Then pick the best ones to show to your children and to us.
Little Sangzhi is fighting for face."
Sang Zhi said uncomfortably: "...No need."
"That's it-" He seemed to feel a little regretful, "That's a pity."
"..."
"Don't think about it again?" Duan Jiaxu smiled, "Kid, don't you think it's a waste?"
Sang Zhi was a little annoyed by his teasing and didn't respond. She jumped off the chair and silently picked up her things and returned to the room. She packed her things and stared in the direction of the pillow, silent.
Maybe he was brainwashed.
At this moment, when Sang Zhi was so angry, she actually felt very sorry.
There was even an urge to regret it.
After that, Sang Zhi didn't hear Duan Jiaxu leaving.
Listening to the sounds outside, Duan Jiaxu and Sang Yan seemed to be playing a game again, but they just moved the battlefield to Sang Yan's room. Sang Zhi was a little depressed, but in fact, even if Sang Yan wasn't here, she couldn't bear to mention it again.
this matter.
Sang Zhi flipped through the photos on her phone and felt that this one was enough.
She is no longer greedy.
Sang Zhi wanted to go there, but felt that there was no reason for him to go there and disturb them.
Suddenly, she remembered that Liping would cut some fruit to greet guests when they came. Sang Zhi did not expect Sang Yan, and felt that she could not treat Duan Jiaxu badly. She hesitantly walked out of the room, went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took out a watermelon.
Putting the watermelon on the counter, Sang Zhi picked up the fruit knife, a little confused. She scratched her head and simply took a tray and put the watermelon and the fruit knife on it.
Then he moved it up with difficulty and walked into Sang Yan's room.
Noticing the movement, Sang Yan and Duan Jiaxu's eyes subconsciously moved over.
Duan Jiaxu: "..."
Sang Yan: "..."
Sang Zhi put the watermelon next to them and said, thinking she was being considerate, "I'll give you some fruit to eat."
"..." Sang Yan's forehead twitched, "If you want to eat, just shout and I'll go out and cut it for you. You don't have to go to such trouble."
Duan Jiaxu sat on the sofa and couldn't help laughing when he saw Sang Zhi's behavior.
Sang Zhi was very unhappy because the purpose was distorted: "I didn't want to eat it, I just gave it to you."
Sang Yan: "Just bring a whole watermelon in?"
"..." Sang Zhi lost her confidence, "Then I don't know how to cut it."
Sang Yan stared at her for several seconds, then suddenly got up, moved the tray again, and walked towards the kitchen: "I'm done, how long have I been playing this game? I have to serve you again."
"..."
Sang Zhi felt unhappy after being scolded, but she didn't dare to talk back.
The next moment, Duan Jiaxu waved to her, pointed at Sang Yan's game controller and said, "Come play games with my brother."
Sang Zhi walked over slowly and sat down in Sang Yan's seat.
They were playing "The King of Fighters". Although Sang Zhi didn't like to play very much, she used to play with Sang Yan a lot, and the game was pretty good. She couldn't concentrate a bit, and pressed the buttons on the handle randomly, not paying attention.
beat.
After a while, the characters in her game lost most of their health.
Duan Jiaxu stopped and asked, "Can you play?"
Sang Zhi nodded: "Yes."
"Does that mean you don't like playing this?"
"Um."
Duan Jiaxu let go of the controller, pointed to the game cartridge in front of him, and said casually: "Go and change it to one you like."
"Oh." Sang Zhi flipped through it and changed to Super Mario, "Play with this."
"OK."
Not long after, Sang Yan came in with a plate of watermelon. He didn't know who he had received a text message from. He looked at his phone and said, "I'm going out and I'll be back soon."
Sang Zhi: "Why are you going?"
"You brat, you're too lenient." Sang Yan shook the phone, "Go and eat your watermelon."
Then, he took his wallet from the drawer, and when he was about to walk out, he suddenly thought of Duan Jiaxu, a powerful person like him: "Hey, do you want to come with me or stay here?"
Duan Jiaxu's eyes were still on the screen: "It will be later. I have a part-time job later, so I will go directly from here."
"Okay." Sang Yan said, "I'll probably be back before you leave."
Soon, they were inexplicably the only two people left in the house.
This round, Duan Jiaxu played first. Sang Zhi was a little bored, so he started to talk about the topic: "Brother, do you know what my brother did?"
"Huh?" Duan Jiaxu said without formality, "Maybe you want to be single before Valentine's Day."
"..."
Sang Zhi suddenly remembered that this year's Valentine's Day happens to be the first day of the Lunar New Year.
It's only a few days away from now.
She turned to look at Duan Jiaxu. Thinking of his charming personality and appearance, she asked as if unintentionally: "What about you?"
Duan Jiaxu: "Huh?"
Sang Zhi was silent for a few seconds and held her breath inexplicably: "Brother, are you planning to fall in love?"
Duan Jiaxu raised his eyes and said, "Me."
"..."
"It depends." He smiled.
Sang Zhi suddenly thought of what he had said before, that she would go back home to work after graduation, and then related to what he said now. Her chest felt like a big stone was pressing down, and she was so congested that she felt extremely powerless.
It happened to be her turn, so Sang Zhi just finished the topic and played the game quietly.
In this quietness.
Sang Zhi suddenly had an extremely selfish idea.
She felt that if she said it at this age, he would still treat it as childish talk and a joke. When she grows older, she should not be able to say this again.
Only now is the right time to speak.
Staring at the screen, Sang Zhi's heartbeat was beating like a drum. She licked her lips nervously and mustered up the courage to ask: "Brother, can you not fall in love?"
Duan Jia nodded and looked at her sideways, as if he thought he heard wrongly.
"What."
"Stop falling in love." Sang Zhi's face was expressionless, as if it were natural, "It's better to study hard."
Duan Jiaxu stared at her for a long time, seeming to find it ridiculous, and instead laughed out loud: "Child, be reasonable. Why don't you tell your brother not to fall in love?"
The author has something to say: Sang Zhi: It’s none of my business if my brother finds a man to fall in love with.
It has arrived on the tail end of eight o'clock.
Sorry, it's late again today.
