Nan Xiaonan tidied her clothes, sat upright in the back seat of the car, and asked seriously: "Uncle, do I look energetic?"
He was so looking forward to it at noon today that he couldn't take a nap.
"The young master looks very energetic."
"Does my dress look good?"
"Yes, it's very cute. The little master, the eldest master and the second master's friends will definitely like it very much."
“Will they like the snacks I’ve prepared?”
"Will do."
"The friends of the eldest brother and the second brother must be very good people, right?"
"It should be possible."
Because Nan Xiaonan was nervous, he always felt that he had done something wrong. The housekeeper patiently answered every question for Nan Xiaonan, which reminded him of how nervous his wife was when she went to meet his parents.
The butler couldn't help but laugh at the similarity.
"There shouldn't be anything funny about me, right?" Nan Xiaonan continued to ask.
"Yes, young master, you are perfect, there is no need to worry."
Nan Xiaonan felt a lot more at ease now. She put her two small fists on her legs and raised her head to look out the car window at the school gate where there was no one there so far. Her heart was full of expectation.
The housekeeper looked at the time. Because Nan Xiaonan was too excited today, they left the house nearly an hour early. Even though he had already slowed down a lot on the road, there was still a lot of time after school.
"Young master, you don't need to be so nervous. I think your friends will also like you very much."
"No." Nan Xiaonan suddenly shook her head seriously, "Friends of friends, if they don't play together, they are not my friends."
The housekeeper was suddenly suppressed by the truth that emerged from Nan Xiaonan. He looked at the nervous child through the rearview mirror in surprise, wondering if this child was too transparent.
Nan Xiaonan is very nervous. He has never met his eldest brother's friends. He doesn't know what kind of person his eldest brother's friends are, what kind of personality he has, what kind of things he likes, and whether he has the things he likes.
Making friends is difficult. Every time Nan Xiaonan accepts a new friend, he almost has to reorganize the relationship within his circle of friends, because... among his friends, there will always be people who don't like other children.
Nan Xiaonan still remembers that when he was in the countryside, a new kid came to him. He was a slug and looked dirty. His clothes were covered with dust and dirt. The kid didn't like to talk and was always shrinking. Why did he
When he talked to him, the child ignored him.
He was ugly and dirty. None of the children in the countryside liked him. No one wanted to take him to play with him. Nan Xiaonan approached the child first and used his snacks. Everyone disliked snacks. Nan Xiaonan has always tried everything.
, the child indeed took his snacks, and after several repetitions, the child finally talked to Nan Xiaonan.
"Xiaonan, don't play with him." His friend held his hand to prevent him from looking for the child. "His mother ran away with someone else and his father always beat him. We don't play with such people. We don't play with him."
If we play, his father will also beat us!"
At that time, the child was standing by the wall, listening to their words, lowering his head and saying nothing.
"But he is my friend, and my friend is your friend?" Nan Xiaonan always spoke with weight, and the other children hesitated.
But another little fat man pulled Nan Xiaonan's clothes: "His father always beats people. Mom said that children who are always beaten must also like to beat people. He doesn't beat us now because he can't beat us!"
"Nonsense!" Nan Xiaonan retorted at that time, "I was beaten too, why didn't I beat you? Can you beat me?"
The other children were also stunned for a moment: "You are lying, your grandma is so kind to you!"
"I'm serious! If you don't believe me, ask my grandma. Before I got to grandma's house, I was beaten all the time!" Nan Xiaonan's words made other children stunned and looked at each other, "I won't beat you, you are my friends.
, I won’t hit you, he is also my friend and your friend, he will definitely not hit anyone!”
Nan Xiaonan was not directly raised by her grandmother. Because of He Xuanwan's depression, Nan Xiaonan had a nanny. After He Xuanwan recovered, she would often go out. Nan Xiaonan would only cry when the nanny took care of her at home.
, once there was no one at home, the nanny would beat Nan Xiaonan because he was in a bad mood for crying. At that time, his body was covered with bruises. Because of He Xuanwan's slackness, it was not discovered until a long time later. Later, grandma got angry and beat Nan Xiaonan.
Xiao Nan took it back.
Nan Xiaonan didn't remember this incident. Most of it was told by her grandma. While she was talking, her grandma scolded He Xuanwan, "A mother can't even look at her own son, so what kind of child can she have?"
At that time, it took him a long time to let the slug integrate into his small group. He insisted on taking the slug to play with him despite the rejection of other friends. After that, his friends were not so repulsive.
The housekeeper fell silent after hearing Nan Xiaonan's words, and then he could only comfort him: "At least now that... um... slug... kid should be playing well with the young master's friends. This is a good result.
.”
Nan Xiaonan shook his head: "At that time, the slug only followed me to play. He didn't like to talk, but he liked to eat. Every time I gave snacks to everyone, he ate the fastest, and he was gone after a while, which really hurt me.
I had to secretly leave some more for him."
The butler's smile was a little bitter. Although he was just listening, he probably had a guess in his mind. I'm afraid that the child had lost too much and was afraid that if he didn't finish the snacks as soon as possible, others would take them away. In such a simple and honest place,
You can't let your guard down in the countryside, so the child will definitely have a hard time.
"Once I had a quarrel with the village boss of the next village. The village boss was very unreasonable. We found a bird's nest. He climbed a tree and couldn't climb me, so he hit my hand. All the eggs were broken. I was angry.
I got into a fight with the village boss. Many of us started fighting at that time. The slug was really fierce at that time. It was the first time I saw a slug fight and it was very fierce. After that, my other friends thought he was really good at fighting.
We have become good friends.”
The housekeeper could imagine a group of brats of several years old fighting together. He didn't expect that the young master would be so naughty. Children's friendship is very simple. Fighting is an opportunity. The slug kid should be doing it for the young master.
He vented his anger, but somehow got into a small group.
I suddenly want to meet that slug kid with a miserable life experience. He must be a good kid if he can get special treatment from the young master.
"So in the end, the reason why Slug became friends with other children is because Slug himself is very powerful and has nothing to do with me." Nan Xiaonan lowered his head, so if he couldn't work hard and make friends with his eldest brother's friends, then
The eldest brother must also be very embarrassed, "I think it must be because Slug doesn't dress well and doesn't have good food, that's why my friend doesn't like him."
"Maybe... it's not like that?" the butler said hesitantly.
"Anyway, I want to dress well and have food ready. Should I also have a fight?" Nan Xiaonan lowered her head and chin and began to think seriously, "But I can't beat my eldest brother's friends. He is so powerful.
, Big brother’s friends must also be very powerful.”
The housekeeper didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Young Master, you don't need to fight...school is over, Young Master, do you want to get out of the car and wait?"
Nan Xiaonan quickly unbuckled his seat belt, jumped out of the parking space, subconsciously arranged his clothes, reached out from the seat and picked up the snack bag he had prepared, and looked towards the school gate with burning eyes.
Qu Zhiming himself is very considerate of others. At least he thinks he should get along with many people, but Nan Qinse is not included among these many people.
Is Nan Qinse a nerd? No one says he is a nerd. After all, he is not only good at studying, but also good at sports. He has a prettier face than others and is very tall. In any case, he meets the standards of today's high-quality students, even if
Even he felt inferior, not to mention that there were rumors that Nan Qinse's family was very well off.
Occasionally, he would wonder why there is such a person around him who is a 'model for other people's children', but even people like Nan Qinse have weaknesses. For example, he doesn't like to socialize with other people, and basically
Focusing on his studies, Qu Zhiming believed that he was better than Nan Qinse at least in this aspect.
But when a person who is stronger than you in every aspect suddenly comes to you and asks you to be your friend, and forcefully moves him to his deskmate, and starts to search him all over the place every time after class, it's like a forced training by the police.
, which made Qu Zhiming feel that he had barely revealed all the graves of his ancestors.
He also felt that it was strange that Nan Qinse asked clearly like this. Every time he felt uncomfortable and wanted to refute, he lost all courage after meeting Nan Qinse's eyes. He didn't know why Qu Zhiming felt that he was
Instinctively fear the classmates in front of me.
but……
"Let's go back together." When Qu Zhiming finally let go of his studies, he looked pleased and planned to return to his small group, but was patted on the shoulder by Nan Qinse. The fear at this moment was really indescribable. Nan Qinse himself was too high.
He was very stressed due to his height, and it actually made him feel like a demon was pressing down on his back.
"Nan Qinse..." Qu Zhiming looked back with a bitter look on his face, "I have appointments with other friends today."
Nan Qinse was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the small group: "Do you have an appointment with him?"
The small group looked at each other in confusion and met Qu Zhiming's eyes asking for help: "Ah...well, we have an appointment."
"In that case, let's do it together."
"Together? Where to go?" The small group was stunned.
"Do you have a car?" Nan Qinse glanced at the crowd. It seemed that there were not enough cars.
"Car? What car?"
"No?" Nan Qinse nodded in understanding, "I understand, I will ask someone to send a car over, and I may ask you to wait a moment."
Nan Qinse was not opposed to bringing a few people to play together. Anyway, it would be enough to tell Nan Xiaonan that her only friend was Qu Zhiming.
"No... no, it's not an important matter. If you have something important to do, we can make another date."
Qu Zhiming:?
"Yes, I have something very important." Nan Qinse looked serious.
"Then make an appointment for another day." The small group on the side smiled and passed by Qu Zhiming, "Okay, brother, even Nan Qinse looks at you differently. In the future, when we get to know each other, he will introduce you to us!"
Qu Zhiming looked helpless: "What are you talking about?"
He really didn't know what the hell happened to this young master today. Not only did he inquire about his eighteen generations of ancestors, but he also told him a lot of his personal privacy.
In the end, Qu Zhiming could only sigh deeply: "If there is anything you need my help with, can you at least let me hear what it is? If it is something within my ability, I will do my best to help."
"There is nothing that requires your best efforts." Nan Qinse didn't have much dislike for a good old man like Qu Zhiming, not to mention that he was indeed asking for something from him now, "I just need you to be my friend, even if it is temporary.
I hope that at least you can successfully fill the position of my good friend. Of course, if you need to ask for compensation later, I can also pay you according to the normal hourly rate."
Qu Zhiming twitched his lips. How much is the hourly wage of a good friend? He has never understood the market price.
Qu Zhiming followed Nan Qinse out. He felt a little awkward along the way. Nan Qinse was really not someone he could chat with. Although he didn't know what he was going to do, he should do it after school, so just follow him.
Just when Qu Zhiming was still in the sky, his body was suddenly stopped by Nan Qinse. When he lowered his head, a small and cute baby doll suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. The child raised his head to look at him.
At that time, his big eyes were all filled with his shadow, full of curiosity and expectation.
"Hello!"
"Hello, little kid." Qu Zhiming bent down, "Do you have anything to ask big brother?"
"Hello, big brother, my name is Nan Xiaonan." Nan Xiaonan straightened her back, "I'm really, really happy to meet you, big brother!"
Huh? Very happy to see him? Why? Qu Zhiming had a question mark on his head.
"Xiaonan." Qu Zhiming turned around and saw the very tall classmate bending down and dragging the child's armpits, picking the child up. At this moment, Qu Zhiming's eyes seemed to be coated with a layer of light.
After the light, the cold atmosphere softened in an instant. He raised the corners of his mouth, and Qu Zhiming almost had the illusion that he was blinded by the flash. "This is my eldest brother's good friend in school, his name is Qu Zhiming. You
You can call him Qu Zhiming."
"Hello, brother Qu Zhiming. I am the eldest brother's younger brother. My name is Nan Xiaonan!" Nan Xiaonan then struggled to break away from Nan Qinse's arms. "Brother, let me down. It's very rude to do this in front of others!"
"Is there anything impolite about the elder brother hugging the younger brother?" Nan Qinse had a rare close contact with Nan Xiaonan when Nan Heming was not around, and was unwilling to let go.
Nan Xiaonan thought for two seconds: "No."
"That's right." Nan Qinse smiled. It was different from the smile that was rarely seen in the class. It was warm when you looked at it.
"Brother Qu Zhiming, today I agreed with my eldest brother that I wanted to meet my eldest brother's friend, but I didn't tell you in advance. Will it trouble you a lot?"
"No." Qu Zhiming raised his eyebrows and had a suspicion about the situation in front of him.
"Big brother has always been troublesome for you to take care of in school. Thank you very much for being friends with big brother. I am really happy to see that big brother has such an outstanding friend."
"I'm also very happy to be good friends with your eldest brother." Qu Zhiming smiled, probably knowing the current situation, probably because he was suddenly asked to watch his good friend Nan Qinse catch a duck and pull him over. Unexpectedly, the always cold and hard-hearted person
Classmate Nan Qinse is actually a senior disciple control.
The housekeeper on the side covered his mouth and laughed secretly. The long sentence Nan Xiaonan just said had been practiced for a long time on the TV series. For this meeting, Nan Xiaonan almost memorized the TV series directly, and she was worried that she would forget to keep repeating it.
"Eldest brother's friends are indeed very good. Brother Qu Zhiming, you are so good-looking!"
"The children are also very pretty."
"Then can I also be friends with brother Qu Zhiming?"
"Of course." Since Qu Zhiming claims that he can be kind to anyone, he can do the same to children.
"That's great. Brother Qu Zhiming, you are a very good brother. I feel so relieved to have such a friend in school!"
Qu Zhiming couldn't stop laughing. This child was indeed too cute. Every sentence was praising him.
"Brother is also very pretty when he smiles." Nan Xiaonan hugged Nan Qinse with both hands, "I'm sure many girls will like her!"
Qu Zhiming's eyebrows relaxed. The strange mood that he had been inexplicably caused by Nan Qinse all day today was dispelled by this strange sunshine child. The child made a milky voice and grinned at him. Qu Zhiming couldn't help but
I really appreciate this child's good-looking face. You can see the exquisite facial features of this child now. He will definitely be a beautiful boy in the future, but he doesn't feel like Nan Qinse.
"Child, are you here to take your eldest brother home today?"
"Yes, I come to pick up my eldest brother every day. Every time I see him coming out alone, I am also worried that he has no friends at school." Nan Xiaonan blinked and looked at this good-looking and well-spoken eldest brother.
My brother is very fond of me, "But I feel relieved when I see my eldest brother. He seems to be a very good person."
"How do you know I'm very good?" Qu Zhiming couldn't help teasing.
"My intuition is very accurate!" Nan Xiaonan opened her eyes wide, but when she occasionally looked at Qu Zhiming, she had a somewhat unfamiliar look.
The butler coughed on the side, attracting attention: "Hello, Master Qu Zhiming, I am the butler of Master Nan Qinse, and I will be the driver of the young masters today."
Qu Zhiming was stunned, Young Master? This was the first time in history that he was called Young Master, a title that could only be seen on TV. Unexpectedly, someone actually called him that today. Rumor has it that Nan Qinse’s
The family's financial situation is very good, and it doesn't seem to be fake, but the extent to which they need to hire a housekeeper is beyond imagination.
Nan Xiaonan hugged Nan Qinse, blinking her eyes, paying full attention to every change in Qu Zhiming's expression.
"You three young masters, please get in the car."
"Oh, okay, thank you." Qu Zhiming was a little dazed, watching the housekeeper open the car door for him, and got into the car despite the strange looks of the classmates around him.
"I was in a hurry today, so I didn't prepare a better gift for brother Qu Zhiming, but these snacks are very delicious. They were carefully selected by the eldest brother and the second brother. You can eat and see." Nan Xiaonan took it out from the back of the car.
A large bag of snacks was placed on Qu Zhiming's lap. When climbing on the back of the car, Qu Zhiming noticed that Nan Qinse's hand was always on Nan Xiaonan's waist, for fear that something would happen to him.
"Thank you." Qu Zhiming looked at the snacks wrapped in a beautiful box and took one out. He didn't recognize a word on it. It must be a snack imported from abroad. The packaging alone showed that it was worth a lot of money.
"Try it?" Nan Xiaonan was held on Nan Qinse's lap, and she spared no effort to take care of Qu Zhiming.
"It tastes good." It's not just good, it can be said to be very good. Both the texture and taste are very different from the snacks he usually eats. So in fact, is Nan Qinse's family really rich? Qu Zhiming's heart
Extremely surprised, he turned around and met Nan Xiaonan's eyes.
"Just like it." When she noticed that Qu Zhiming was looking at him, Nan Xiaonan immediately smiled and said, "Today, I asked the cooking uncle to prepare delicious biscuits. I will eat them with my second brother and his friends later. The cooking uncle's
The craftsmanship is very good, very good...well..."
Nan Xiaonan seemed to be searching for words to praise, but found that she was not very good at describing it.
"The Nan family's chef has a special first-class chef qualification certificate. He has been in the industry for thirty-one years. He has studied in different countries for a total of ten years. Although he is not top-notch, his skills are excellent." The butler immediately gave Nan a message from the front.
Xiaonanyuan dialect.
"Yes, he is a very good cook. His snacks are very delicious. I can eat a lot more of the food cooked by the cook!" Nan Xiaonan looked at Qu Zhiming longingly, "Brother will also do the same in the future.
You can come home to play often, you can eat the food cooked by your uncle, and eat delicious food, you will become very happy, and you will definitely like your big brother more!"
Qu Zhiming felt funny in his heart. Is this bribing him? In this child's mind, Nan Qinse is a person who has a hard time making friends?... That seems to be the case. Qu Zhiming suddenly felt that this child's intuition was indeed terrifyingly accurate.
.
"Are you embarrassed?" Nan Xiaonan asked.
"Of course not. Thank you kids for the snacks. I didn't expect to receive so many snacks. The kids gave me snacks. Do you still have them?"
"These are the snacks prepared by the eldest brother and the second brother. As long as you are friends with the eldest brother, you will also have a lot of snacks!"
Nan Qinse looked helpless on the side. She really didn't know how Nan Xiaonan's view on friendship was formed. Bribery was so easy.
Qu Zhiming was a little embarrassed at first. He looked at Nan Qinse, who looked doting on her face, and felt funny in his heart: "I'm very happy to be good friends with your eldest brother, don't worry."
Nan Xiaonan was stunned for a moment, a little dull, and immediately asked: "Brother, where do you usually go to play? Can I go with you today?"
Qu Zhiming's eyes were empty and he looked at Nan Qinse: "Go, go, where do we usually go?"
