In the last night of self-study, before get out of class ended, Ning Xingzhou
packed up his schoolbag and rushed out of the classroom as soon as the bell
rang.
Lu Yuan noticed his movements, closed the book, and handed him an inquiring
look.
"I found a tutor on the part-time platform and 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 the parents find it?"
Ning Xingzhou stiffened for a moment. He touched his nose and smiled
awkwardly, "No, I live alone."
Lu Yuan was silent for a while, and 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 meaning of
concern, but he didn't quite understand, "What do you mean? Do you want to
live with me?"
He thought for a while, and then said, "That's pretty good too."
"..." Being misunderstood as another meaning, Lu Yuan didn't feel disgusted at
all, instead he tightened his body and felt a little embarrassed, "I mean,
meet the tutor with you."
His roommate was a little stunned, and he lived alone, and he didn't know
where he got the tutor. What if he ran into a bad guy.
"You don't need to be so troublesome, you and I are not on our way. If you go
back home after a long circle, I will be worried instead."
Ning Xingzhou shook his head, suddenly remembered something, his eyes
flickered, his face was deliberately sullen, his tone seemed to complain, "And
I don't have your contact information, so I can't confirm whether you have
arrived home safely."
Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't have the embarrassment to
tell the other party the actual situation. He frowned slightly, leaned back,
and looked down at Ning Xingzhou, "It's been at the same table for so long,
it's alright to stay at your house for a day, right?"
His voice was rare and casual, showing some pretending to be relaxed, but in
fact he was embarrassed and nervous, for fear that the same table would say
rejection.
Taking the initiative to ask to go to someone else's house really doesn't seem
like something he would do. But if you don't go, you won't be worried.
"Of course, you are welcome anytime~" Ning Xingzhou smiled, happy but also
disappointed.
He didn't ask for the contact information, he also wanted to learn from the
online teaching to send good morning and good night every day to deepen his
relationship. But...the other party is willing to be a guest at his house,
indicating that he has been regarded as a friend, right?
Thinking of this, the corners of Ning Xingzhou's mouth couldn't help turning
upwards. He rested his chin in his hands and tilted his head to observe his
deskmate.
Love still has a cold face, but the hostility between his brows has dissipated
a lot, and he occasionally smiles, and even cares about him around the corner.
This should be... the result of his hard work for so many days, right?
Thinking of the influence value of the other party's steadily increasing, Ning
Xingzhou felt quite a sense of accomplishment. Although Lu Yuan was the target
of his mission, after so many days of contact, it was difficult for him to
purely treat him as a paper man.
He has flesh and blood, and his indifferent temperament is just a shell that
pretends to be strong. I feel that the other party is a good and hard-working
boy, and when I think of the other party's original ending, I will inevitably
feel unbearable.
In any case, he sincerely hopes that he can lead the other party on the right
path and have a bright future.
While thinking about it, the get out of class bell rang. Lu Yuan stood up
silently, and seeing Ning Xingzhou's eyes flying into the sky, he stretched
out his hand and waved in front of him, "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 greenery, well-organized public security, spacious, clean and tidy
rooms are completely different from his cramped and damp home.
He lowered his eyelids, hiding the inferiority and unwillingness that flashed
in his eyes. Sure enough, a good enough family would bring up a bright and
innocent child like Ning Xingzhou.
"Want something to drink?" Ning Xingzhou said, opened the refrigerator, and
fell into deep thought while looking at the rows of strawberry milk. In the
end, he took a bottle and handed it to Lu Yuan in embarrassment.
Because he has always lived alone, he bought everything at home according to
his own taste. In addition to ready-made strawberry milk, the refrigerator is
the raw material for handmade strawberry milk.
"Thank you." Lu Yuan took the strawberry milk and took a sip. Sure enough, it
was very sweet. The same table seems to be a sweet tooth, and even the drink
is so sweet. No wonder, there is always a sweet taste on the same table, he
thought a little distracted.
"The tutor is estimated to be here in a while, do you want to attend the class
with me?" After he finished speaking, he felt that what he asked was a bit
redundant, so he asked himself and answered: "Forget it, today is all about
junior high school courses, don't you? need to be heard."
"It's okay, I'll accompany you to listen." By the way, let's observe the
behavior of the tutor. Because of his embarrassing background, he was exposed
to the complex society prematurely. Therefore, he has a very accurate 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 show you my home first."
"There is a guest room on the side of the entrance, which has been unoccupied.
I will tidy it up for you after making up the class. Then, this is the study
room. I am going to make up the class with the teacher later. Next to it is my
bedroom. I happen to have another one in my room. Desk, if you don't want to
attend class, you can do your homework there..."
He was chatting non-stop when the door intercom bell rang at home. After
connecting, you could see the delicate face of the tutor from the monitor,
"I'm going downstairs in the community, please unlock the unit door."
The tutor is a good-looking male college student, wearing a pair of frame
glasses, and looks polite. The voice is very magnetic, the kind of Susu tone
that little girls love very much.
The teacher's surname is An. When he saw Ning Xingzhou's appearance, he was
instantly amazed, but he didn't show any emotion. He just smiled gently and
politely extended his hand to Ning Xingzhou, "Are you classmate Ning?"
There were two people who opened the door for him, one smiled sweetly, the
other stood coldly, with eyes full of scrutiny and vigilance. You can tell at
a glance who came into contact with him on the tutoring platform.
"Well, Mr. An is good." Ning Xingzhou nodded, pointed to Lu Yuan who was
beside him and introduced, "This is my friend, I will listen to the class with
me today."
"Okay, then we won't be verbose, let's go straight to the topic. 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 Several textbooks were handed to
Ning Xingzhou.
"It doesn't matter, one copy is enough." Ning Xingzhou walked into the study
with his tutor and greeted the cold-faced monster Lu Yuan. He sat in a row
with Lu Yuan, and Teacher An sat opposite.
Teacher An is very good-natured and patient. He asked many questions no less
than three times, and the other party still took the trouble to explain it,
but the progress was really not fast.
Lu Yuan watched from the side, feeling more and more upset. Several times,
Ning Xingzhou and the surnamed An were close to each other's heads. He also
deliberately pressed his voice to speak, when he couldn't hear it!
During the whole lecture, Lu Yuan had a stinky face. He didn't say hello until
Ning Xingzhou sent the tutor away.
Ning Xingzhou noticed that Lu Yuan was in a bad mood and smiled embarrassedly,
"It's rare for you to come to my house and ask you to accompany me in class,
I'm sorry~"
"It's alright, I volunteer." Lu Yuan paused, "You don't have to be so out of
touch with me."
"Haha, it's fine if you don't mind." Ning Xingzhou frowned, remembering the
original intention of Lu Yuan coming to his house today, and said, "How is it,
Teacher An is not bad, right? There's nothing to worry about."
Lu Yuan had the urge to speak ill of people crazily, but in fact, although he
disliked the other party very much, he had to admit that the other party
should have no bad intentions.
As for those who didn't pay attention to distance, they were all his
subjective feelings, which were untenable, and speaking out would make Ning
Xingzhou feel that he was petty.
He was silent for a moment, his light-colored eyes stared straight at the
other party, and his tone was extremely slow, "Actually, if it's just this
level, I can also help you with tuition."
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 while, not understanding why the other
party suddenly competed with the tutor, but still nodded, looking very
trusting, "Well, I believe you can, but you are also a student, time is very
short. Don't worry, it's okay to ask you once or twice, I'll be embarrassed to
take up your time every day."
"..." Lu Yuan was silent, wanting to say that he didn't mind, but his
situation was different from that of most students. In addition to studying,
he had to keep training and prepare for irregular competitions. Time was what
he lacked the most.
Ning Xingzhou was afraid that he would feel embarrassed, so he quickly changed
the subject, "Would you like to... come and play a few games?"
land:"?"
Sometimes the other party's escaping thinking really makes him unable to keep
up.
"Two games?" Ning Xingzhou took out the two gamepads under the TV, eager to
try.
"Okay."
They are playing fighting games, and they each operate a character for pk. Lu
Yuan obviously hadn't played this kind of game much, so he was in a hurry for
a while.
In the first game, Ning Xingzhou won a big victory. When he defeated the
opponent's character, he still had more than half of his health remaining.
"Haha, I'm too strong!" As soon as he started playing, Ning Xingzhou no longer
had any thoughts of letting the other party down, and all kinds of great
tricks fully satisfied his long-standing desire to abuse vegetables. He
laughed exaggeratedly into a ball, stammering.
"Another round." Lu Yuan was caught by himself and did not want to leave the
impression of "not great" in Ning Xingzhou's mind.
"Hahaha, I really like playing this kind of game. If only I could play the
holographic version of the online game in my lifetime." Ning Xingzhou said
while playing.
"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, the operation has become
more and more proficient, and he even has the awareness of avoiding the
ultimate move.
By the third round, Ning Xingzhou could only be considered a narrow victory.
He has no doubt that in another round, he will be overturned by the opponent.
This amazing learning ability is also too scary.
He coughed reservedly, put down the gamepad, and said earnestly: "Tomorrow we
have to get up early for class, let's play here today, and play next time~"
Lu Yuan didn't know what his tablemate was thinking, he turned his head
slightly, and a smile unconsciously appeared in his eyes, "Well, I will
definitely win you next time."
