"Previously."
It was obviously a very important matter, but Shen Queyan's tone was as indifferent as talking about what the weather was like today.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the dazed girl in front of him. He had already finished the paper in his hand, and he tapped the knuckles of his fingers on the desk a few times to wake him up from his wandering mind.
"What are you doing asking about this, little brat?"
Xu Tang pursed his lips and said nothing.
She wanted to retort that there were many people in love in the attached high school, and she was a high school student who was about to graduate in half a year, not a brat, but she didn't say it.
Because she is well aware of things that violate secular rules, it is difficult for her to do them without burden like others.
"Are all college students like this? Where's my second brother?" Xu Tang seemed to have never seen Xu Chensi have any contact with girls of the same age.
"He." Shen Queyan sneered, "He has been single for ten thousand years."
After saying that, he lowered his head and glanced at the girl. The pair of bright almond eyes on his fair face still had the confusion of someone who had never stepped out of the ivory tower. The look on his face was a bit more serious.
"But in the future, when you fall in love, you should look like your brother, and don't look after me."
Xu Tang didn't understand. She raised her head and stared at his cold chin. She felt that Shen Queyan was better-looking than the members of the popular boy band some time ago, so she asked, "Why?"
His tone was unnaturally bad, and he seemed to be mocking himself, "Because I'm not a good person."
——
Xu Tang also has homework to do in other subjects, so tutoring is only done in the morning every other day.
But Shen Queyan was very stuck in time, and his schedule for the whole morning was basically full.
The two got along successfully and very efficiently.
The attached middle school has not announced when school will start. Fortunately, the homework left for each subject exam is many times that of a normal holiday, so there is no time to spare.
Xu Tang followed Shen Queyan for more than a week, and she could clearly feel that she was no longer so afraid of mathematics.
"That's it for today." Before each end of the banquet, Shen Que would take away a few papers that Xu Tang had done, making them more difficult each time.
Xu Tang took the opportunity to find out a physics question that had puzzled her for a long time. It had been like this recently, and Shen Queyan almost became her tutor for all subjects.
The two of them delayed for some time, going back and forth a little later than usual, and had just finished when Shen Man knocked on the door.
She came in and saw the two of them packing their things, "Xiao Shen will stay here for dinner today."
"If I can't help Aunt Shen, I'd better go back." Shen Queyan has not stayed at the Shen family for a meal since he moved out.
Seeing him reject her mother, Xu Tang seemed to understand the reason for Shen Queyan's rejection.
It's probably because he didn't want to trouble their family, so he refused to charge tuition fees. I couldn't tell whether it was because he was aloof and distant in his heart, or because he just couldn't adapt to such a warm family.
Shen Man glanced at the time and said, "Where can I go back and catch up with dinner? Besides, you give Tangtang tutoring for free, so you should eat here every day."
Xu Tang took advantage of the opportunity and spoke, holding the hem of the boy's clothes with his fingers, his drooping eyes looking pitiful, "Brother, I will feel uneasy about my conscience."
Shen Queyan's Adam's apple rolled up and down. Xu Tang grabbed his clothes and couldn't move. He laughed helplessly, "That's troublesome for Aunt Shen."
Xu Chensi, who had just come out of the bedroom, was sitting at the dining table with a messy hairstyle, and saw a familiar boy's face, "Why are you here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a slap on the back of his neck. Shen Man laughed and scolded him, "Why are you talking?"
Shen Man heard him talking when he came out of the kitchen and scolded Xu Chensi angrily.
Xiao Shen has been teaching Tangtang so early in the morning, and you, the older brother, have only just woken up from sleeping until now. Judging from the dark circles under your eyes, you may have stayed up late playing games again last night. "
Xu Chensi's eyes fell on a person who was in double queue with him yesterday and fought until three in the morning. Now he was eating in high spirits. He deliberately prolonged his tone and said, "Sleep more to avoid sudden death."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Man became more and more unhappy the more he looked at this person who came home from vacation.
"Mom, you like Shen Queyan so much, why don't you name her a godson? Anyway, both of you are named Shen." Xu Chensi teased Shen Man.
Shen Man didn't give in. Among the three children, Xu Chensi was the only one who could yell with her. The house was lively like this, "I'm definitely willing. I have to ask Xiao Shen's opinion. You think anyone is a dog like you." "
Shen Queyan, who had been watching the show quietly, smiled softly, his stern eyebrows melting away, "I am willing too."
Xu Chensi nudged the girl who was lowering her head to eat a few times with her elbow, and Xu Tang slowly raised his face.
With a grain of rice still stuck to the corner of her mouth, she looked at her confused second brother.
"Little thing, are you willing to let that man be your brother?"
Xu Tang shook his head violently, "I don't want to."
Xu Chensi was very satisfied and took out a tissue to wipe off the grain of rice for Xu Tang, and then heard the girl speak slowly.
"In this way, another girl will be harmed and become your sister. I will bear the responsibility myself."
Several people at the table laughed in unison, and the clear and cold laughter that belonged to Shen Queyan vibrated in Xu Tang's ears, as captivating as the fragrance on his body.
Xu Tang was stunned.
Xu Chensi's raised hand holding the tissue stopped in the air and said coldly, "Xu Xiaotang, you have food on your face."
Hearing this, she touched it for a long time without touching it.
It was Shen Queyan who reached out and took out a piece of paper towel, pressed it on the area where she had rice grains, rolled it up into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
Xu Tang suppressed a blush on his face and stared at Xu Chensi who was gloating about his misfortune, grinning and revealing a row of glutinous rice-like teeth.
"Second brother, you have food in your teeth."
After lunch, Xu's father and Xu's mother had to go to work, and there were only three people left at home. Xu Chensi didn't feel happy yesterday, and now he took the opportunity to have some banquets with Shen Que.
Xu Tang was about to go back to her room to write papers, but the screen of her silent mobile phone flickered. She was so disturbed that she simply unlocked it to see what the news was.
It turns out that the class group has exploded. The attached middle school has informed that the whole school will enter the winter vacation directly due to the influenza problem, and will notify the school after the start of the year.
This afternoon and tomorrow, in less than two days, students of all grades will go back to school in batches to take home their books and re-released homework.
Xu Tang is a senior in high school, and the time is this afternoon.
She knocked on Xu Chensi's bedroom door. The people inside were not annoyed that their game play was interrupted.
"The school asked me to go back and get my things. I can't carry them back alone." Xu Tang thought about the prank he had just played on Xu Chensi at the dinner table, and the more he talked about it, the more he felt less and less confident, but the books and homework for the senior year were many and heavy.
The school also requires parents to accompany them to sign an informed letter and safety advisory letter.
Xu Chensi glanced at the sky outside. The Affiliated High School always thought about what was going on, and the school's rules and regulations were rigid. He did not hesitate, "Go and change clothes. Put on more clothes."
Xu Tang nodded and went back to the bedroom to dig out his big schoolbag. The winter vacation was longer than in previous years. You can imagine how much homework there would be.
"What are you doing?" Shen Queyan, who was still playing games, was suddenly thrown in the face by his own coat. He pulled down his clothes and looked at the person who was already putting on his coat.
Xu Chensi sneered, "I want to warm myself up at home, dream, and go to the attached middle school with us to enjoy the cold wind."
