Become a stepmother and save the male protagonist of the painful literary school

He didn't feel anything was wrong, as if he was a weird person and should be moody.

From the first moment she saw him, with that gentle smile on his face, she felt that one day he would suddenly turn hostile.

hypocritical.

"No, it's just that I don't like joking very much." Tong Ruixiao suppressed the turbulent thoughts in his heart and always showed his calm and gentle side to others.

I stretched out my hand and looked down at the time on my watch. It was half past ten.

He talked to her for a long time, more than he usually talked in two or three days. For some reason, he had something to talk about when he was with her.

"Is this a joke?"

She has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and when she smiles, she displays just the right amount of emotion, not too much. She often makes people intoxicated by her and ignore other parts of her.

"Mr. Tong is such a conservative person."

It's impossible to be angry with her.

How could I argue? I could only respond, "Yeah."

"I'm not kidding," she said logically, her cold eyes fell on him, gentle and firm, "Mr. Tong is still very likable."

If she was not his marriage partner, she would appreciate his self-discipline and return to propriety. Even if it was superficial, it would still make people feel like spring breeze.

But being in the middle of it, she was only worried that it was a wolf in sheep's clothing, and it seemed hypocritical no matter how she looked at it.

Of course, she couldn't say that.

How can you tell the truth when you are praising someone?

Tong Ruixiao fell into her eyes and lost his ability to think for a moment. In order to stabilize his emotions, he forced himself to withdraw.

I recalled what I had just heard in my mind.

She said "not all kidding", meaning -

Most of them were jokes, with two or three truths mixed in.

He instantly sobered up and calmed down.

With his eyelashes lowered, his expression was unrecognizable.

It was a joke...

Restraining his disappointment, he saw that her face was not very good, and couldn't help asking: "How do you feel now, is it still painful?"

Most of her words were meant to comfort people. "The pain is bearable. It's much better than last night."

"You can go back tomorrow. I don't like staying in the hospital."

Although this is a VIP ward, it is also a hospital.

Whenever she was in the hospital, she felt uneasy, as if she was about to be tormented and scolded. Because her memories of the past were not good.

"Let's observe it for a while. I'm afraid you might feel uncomfortable when you go back and won't be able to get medical treatment in time."

He said, "Also, if there is anything else you need to pay attention to about your health, tell me so that I won't be caught off guard if something happens."

Jian Yan thought about it seriously, and then gave a simple answer, "No more."

Feeling that his words were unreliable, he touched the tip of his nose and added: "In fact, this time it was because of drinking cold wine that it was so serious..."

"Next time he acts like a fool, call me. Don't be upset by yourself," he said gently. "It's harmful to your health."

"You didn't even ask Xiao Mu what happened, but you decided that he was just fooling around?" Jian Yan smiled softly, covering her lips with her hands. "Mr. Tong wasn't very efficient in listening to the class tonight."

Such open teasing gave him a slight illusion that the two of them had transitioned from strangers to ordinary friends.

Not only did he let her do whatever she wanted, he was even happy to accompany her, "How does Teacher Jian want to punish me?"

Jane Yan laughed in her heart.

You don't like to joke around, but now you're talking to her again. You're just kicking your own ass...

Tong Ruixiao is a very contradictory person.

"Then I'll punish you by making you listen carefully to Tong Huaimu's words tomorrow night. Rebut less, think more, and remember the six-word policy."

Her tone was gentle and cheerful, just like a kindergarten teacher who could say "Shut your mouth tight".

Tong Ruixiao laughed silently.

It even rhymes.

……

The next night.

Tong Ruixiao followed Jian Yan's method and had a tentative chat with Tong Huaimu for a while during the meal, and observed that the other party's emotional fluctuations were indeed as she said.

He was certain that Xiao Mu often said one thing and meant another.

I couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sourness.

Even an outsider who had only been in the villa for less than half a year could see that Tong Huaimu was not speaking the same words, but he just thought that the child was rebellious and disobedient during adolescence.

He was indeed derelict in his duty as a father.

Then they talked about the tutoring situation the night before, and he clearly felt that Tong Huaimu was more alert than before.

So I explained, "Because your stepmother is sick and in the hospital, I can't just ignore it now that I know about it. I just want to understand the situation."

The boy was visibly stunned when he heard Jian Yan was admitted to the hospital.

He had just returned to the villa and didn't know that Jian Yan was actually in the hospital. He only knew that she was not there today, but he didn't have time to hear any news. He thought she didn't want to come out because she had a fight with him.

He subconsciously avoided all possible attacks directed at him, "Why don't you just go ask her? You already know that I had a fight with her that night, why did you come to ask me?"

Tong Ruixiao thought back to what Jian Yan said. Xiao Mu hoped that his father would trust and favor him.

So he said, "You are my child, of course I will ask you first and then ask her."

These words really worked for the young man.

Tong Huaimu snorted, put down his chopsticks, and told him everything that happened that night.

Finally, one more thing to add.

"It's not a big deal, but I don't need her tutoring me."

Man: "So, she humiliated you?"

Tong Huaimu was about to say the word "right" but then felt that this was a bit too much. The words circled in his mouth and he swallowed them back.

"It's not a humiliation. She looks down on me anyway! If she looks down on me, why would she pretend to teach me?"

"That's true."

Tong Ruixiao hesitated for a moment and said, "How about this, I hire a tutor for you?"

The young man held his neck and couldn't breathe up or down.

He was afraid that the other party would say this.

"No! I can learn it myself..."

"I took a quick look at your previous grades, and your foundation is not very solid. If you take the time to study on your own, you won't be able to get it right. The teachers at school are in a hurry and won't help you rebuild your foundation. It would be better to hire a tutor for offline tutoring."

Tong Ruixiao told his son his idea.

The boy resolutely resisted: "I don't like strangers coming to the villa! Don't..."

He said half of the sentence, and felt humiliated when he thought that Jian Yan was also a stranger at the beginning, and now he was forced to accept it.

"I don't need a tutor anyway!"

Tong Ruixiao frowned slightly, "Don't you want to improve your grades?"

“……” The boy stopped talking.

"In fact, if you really don't want outsiders to come, you can communicate with your stepmother again. There may be some misunderstanding. After all, her academic qualifications are higher than most tutors on the market, so there will be no problem for her to teach you."

"..."

Tong Huaimu kept silent.

After a long while, he sneered, "She scolded me like that, and I still have to go up to her and beg her to teach me? Am I so cheap? It's not like I have to take extra lessons!"

"Stop using bad language." Tong Ruixiao was displeased, his voice slightly cold, "I've told you this once, right?"

The other party was stunned and then stopped talking.
