cohabitation life

Life is almost the same. Xiao Lang is also a tutor and a nanny. He goes to Liu's house every day, and occasionally meets Liu's father who is about to go out. After exchanging a few words of greetings, he stays at Liu's house for three hours.In addition to math tutoring and accompanying reading, sometimes it is necessary to accompany students to go out to buy labor materials or snacks for midnight snacks.

Liu Xiaoyu turned off the TV in the living room, had enough rest, and went back to the Japanese room to recite English words. Teacher Xiao will test him later.

"Ms. Xiao has become so handsome recently."

"It's useless for you to infuse me with soup. I'll give you another 10 minutes."

Liu Xiaoyu pouted, "I have to take the exam again...it's very annoying."

"Tsk, don't lie to me. Exams mean nothing to you." The longer he got along with him, the more he suspected that Liu Xiaoyu was too smart.Since passing the Duan exam, no matter which subject he took in class or assessment, the boy's academic performance has averaged above 95 points, which makes people question whether he failed the exam on purpose.

Liu Xiaoyu stacked up two cushions, grabbed a textbook, and recited English words while lying down.

Xiao Lang squinted at him, "You are very comfortable, you have already dared to show your true nature in front of me, right?"

Liu Xiaoyu covered his face with a textbook, shook his head, and smiled with crooked eyebrows.

"Old fried dough stick..." Xiao Lang curled his lips.

After 10 minutes, Liu Xiaoyu wrote 25 English words verbatim, showing his extraordinary memory.

He was born to be a piece of material for reading, Xiao Lang said: "Don't be so stupid in the future, let Liu's father think that you are not as good as other people, it will not be good for you."

"That's not true. I'm dumber than my brother. Grandma said that, and Dad thinks so too."

Xiao Lang was stunned, "Do you want to attract attention?"

"Hmm..." It's over.Liu Xiaoyu pursed his lips and refused to admit it.

Xiao Lang carefully looked at him with a childish face, no matter his appearance or movements gave people a clumsy impression, compared with his brother who had received a wall full of awards, it is no wonder that he was not taken seriously.

"I don't know how smart my brother is, but I can tell you with certainty that you are the smartest student I have ever taught."

"Oh, how many students has Mr. Xiao taught?"

"Uh... Let me count eighteen... Just wait for me, I'll go to the bathroom."

"Oh."

He hurriedly left the Japanese room with a hot face, and told a white lie in order to build up the students' confidence.In fact, he has only taught ten students, and most of them last for one or two semesters, and the tutoring ends when the students graduate.

Finding the back in the dark, turning on the light switch in the bathroom, the stairs on the left lead to the upstairs, and the kitchen on the right. Xiao Lang looked into the kitchen after going to the toilet, and saw a figure standing by the gas stove.

The old woman turned her face away, staring at him with a pair of dead fish eyes.

scare!His face turned pale, Xiao Lang walked back to the Japanese room, and sat down on the tatami.

"Teacher Xiao?"

"That... your kitchen..."

Liu Xiaoyu was surprised: "Did you see grandma?"

"Ah, grandma..." Xiao Lang widened his pupils, and suddenly remembered the posthumous photos hanging in the living room.

"Yes." Liu Xiaoyu rolled over and got up, kneeling in front of Teacher Xiao, "Let me tell you, grandma will walk back and forth in the kitchen and upstairs."

Xiao Lang gasped, "Really...?"

"Really!" He finally met someone who could see grandma, and immediately shared, "Maybe grandma was reluctant to leave her brother, and stayed here after she passed away, not going to heaven."

"You see it often?"

"That's right. Since my grandma passed away, I have often seen grandma, but my father didn't believe me and thought I was a liar."

Xiao Lang was startled, "Do you have yin and yang eyes?"

Liu Xiaoyu didn't understand: "What is yin and yang eyes?"

"I can see ghosts..."

"Oh, I only saw grandma, unlike my brother who said that he saw ghosts every time he went crazy, and there were a lot of ghosts, and that ghosts were watching him."

The corner of Xiao Lang's mouth twitched, his face turned dark.

"Mr. Xiao doesn't believe it?"

He wanted to hit the wall, why would he be reduced to discussing with the students how many ghosts there are in this room...

"what time is it now?"

Liu Xiaoyu looked up at the clock on the wall, "It's ten forty."

"I'm leaving!" Xiao Lang grabbed the backpack, and before he could escape, Liu Xiaoyu threw himself on him.

"What are you doing?"

"Mr. Xiao, don't you want to wait for Dad to come back with me?" He put his arms around Teacher Xiao's feet.

The two seemed to be pulling carrots, the more Xiao Lang wanted to pull his foot back, the tighter Liu Xiaoyu's grip was.

"You let go, I should go!"

"Don't go, okay?"

Xiao Lang shouted angrily: "Why didn't you tell me that there is a ghost in your house earlier—"

Liu Xiaoyu suddenly felt aggrieved, "Because I like Teacher Xiao to teach mathematics, every time I deliberately say no, you will not be angry, and you will teach me many times. If I tell you that the dead grandma is in the house, I am afraid you will not dare coming."

Xiao Lang was stunned, "You always use this trick to scare away your former tutor?"

He blinked his big watery eyes and nodded.

"Are you hiding anything?"

Liu Xiaoyu shook his head, "Not anymore."

"You really didn't lie to me?"

"Really do not have."

"Okay, I believe you. Let go of my feet, I will accompany you and wait for Liu's father to come home."

"Oh." Still holding onto it, he blinked and asked, "Will Teacher Xiao still come in the future?"

As if being kidnapped, Xiao Lang gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! I need this salary!"

Before going to bed, Xiao Lang lay beside Ajie and whispered, "Did you know that my student Liu Xiaoyu's house has ghosts."

"Oh, what's going on?"

Xiao Lang told what he saw, and couldn't help but squeeze Ajie, "I was almost scared to death. You don't know how terrifying the old woman's dead fish eyes are, they seem to be full of resentment."

Shen Shijie patted his back, "Don't think about this before going to bed, lest you have nightmares."

"I also want to restrain myself."

He knew that he shouldn't make a fuss when he saw the ancestors in other people's homes, but the presence of the old woman just made him very uncomfortable, unlike the lonely ghosts he saw on the road, he would not take it to heart soon.

"Tomorrow morning, I will draw an amulet for you to carry with you, so you don't have to worry about ghosts."

"Like the charm you put on the door of the room?"

"Well, the effect is good. So far, I haven't seen the little black cat scurrying into the room. Tomorrow morning, you have to wear a coat when you go out. There is a high chance of rain these days. Do you have a raincoat in the glove box of the motorcycle?"

"Yes...you're quite wordy..." Xiao Lang yawned when sleepiness hit him.

Shen Shijie plucked the hair on his forehead, kissed his brow, and was satisfied with his old dependence; like a cat, sometimes baring its teeth and waving its claws, and when it was docile, it was as clingy as maltose—only when it was afraid of ghosts .

"Ring, ring, ring—" the alarm clock on the bedside continued to ring.

Xiao Lang raised his hand and got up lazily. After taking a shower, he ran downstairs with his backpack and threw the sofa casually.

Shen Shijie delivered breakfast, Xiao Lang sat on the high chair, picked up a fork, and poked a piece of green onion pie into the mouth. Two pieces of bacon, a poached egg, and after a while, Ajie brought two glasses of juice.

"This is freshly squeezed orange juice. In the future, don't buy beverages. It's healthier to drink more natural foods."

"Oh."

Shen Shijie stood opposite him enjoying breakfast, happy to see him eating with satisfaction.

"Meow." The little black cat jumped onto the high chair in an instant, raised its face, and its dark green eyes were watery.

Xiao Lang turned his face away and waved away: "Get out of the way, don't bring me any more bad luck!"

The little black cat rubbed against his waist, acting coquettishly.

"Hey--"

"Don't be angry with it." Shen Shijie chuckled.

Xiao Lang was still displeased, "Don't you feel that since it appeared, a series of unlucky things have started to happen."

"You drag."

"That's not it." Xiao Lang snorted.

"It's spiritual and can play with my pool ball."

"The four balls you threw in the study were for it to play with?"

"Well. In addition to playing with it, I also combined the numbers of the four balls and found some coincidences."

"How?"

"My car number and Lin Peiyu's have the same number, and the date of Zhulin's murder is also related to these four numbers, and the date of the wedding photo you saw is no exception."

Xiao Lang was taken aback, "What a coincidence..."

"Well, I went to the library to check the old news. The Zhulin murder happened at around 12 pm on March [-] [-] years ago. The little black cat only responded to the four balls three, four, six, and seven. What do you think? What means?"

"It means bad." Xiao Lang curled his lips, "What's the number of that dead [-]'s car?"

"3647-SU."

"Hmph, that's right, no wonder I was hit by her car and blackmailed by her. You should draw this little black cat away with a talisman, don't let it degrade me again, as for the murder case, it has nothing to do with us, It has nothing to do with Grandma and Xiaosheng, you went to investigate because you were full and too free."

Shen Shijie raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who made me too idle?"

"Ah, what do you mean?"

"When you run away from home, can I not find something to do for myself. Now, tell me, when you meet the ghost hitting the wall in the country, what exactly did you hear it say?"

"You want to give me nightmares?"

"I don't think these things happened by accident. The little black cat seems to have given us a clue."

"You think too much! I don't want to be haunted by ghosts anymore."

Shen Shijie reminded: "Don't forget what happened during the summer vacation. The two of us will not have supernatural powers for no reason. It fulfilled what Grandpa said. When the time comes, the Bodhisattva will naturally guide you."

scare!As if five thunders had struck the top, Xiao Lang shuddered all over, remembering the solemn face of the Bodhisattva and that voice from beyond the sky, a banner that did something...

Shen Shijie raised his eyebrows, "Are you willing to say it?"

Xiao Lang compromised: "The female ghost said: 'Take me home.' Who would want to bring a ghost home? How scary..."

Shen Shijie poked a piece of bacon for him, and at the same time reminded him: "Finish breakfast quickly, rest for a while, and then go out. The charm is on the table in the living room, don't forget to take it."

"Hmm..." He nodded while eating.

"Do you have enough money?"

Xiao Lang almost choked, took several sips of fruit juice, and put it down heavily. "The more you control the more, don't overdo it."

He was confident, "The V[-] we shot that day stored the evidence that I forced you, and I can't deny it in this life. I should take care of you. Don't you think so?"

Xiao Lang shouted dissatisfied: "Don't threaten me with that matter again!"

Shen Shijie smiled and asked, "Do you want to sue me?"

He opened his mouth wide, and there was no sound for a moment.

There is a big bill in his pocket, and Xiao Lang goes shopping in the magazine section of a supermarket near the campus. He no longer has to worry about how to use the money, he can buy it back home if he likes it.However, he controlled himself not to squander, no matter whether the money was given by Ajie or not.

Taking advantage of his spare time, he flipped through computer magazines, and saw three familiar figures not far away, sitting in a supermarket eating oden, reading magazines, and discussing hairstyles.

Lin Peiyu said: "I want to perm my hair and dye it blonde."

"Do you want to have the same hair color as Shen Shijie?" Jiang Xiaojie asked.

"I'm not for him." Lin Peiyu took the powder box to touch up makeup and put on lipstick, "I have someone else."

Wang Minyu was surprised: "Who?"

Lin Peiyu wanted to show off, "Guess what."

"It's hard to guess." Wang Minyu flipped through hair magazines and wanted to dye her hair.

Jiang Xiaojie asked, "Are you from the school?"

Lin Peiyu was immersed in love, with a happy smile on her face, "My boyfriend and Shen Shijie are studying in the same department."

Wang Minyu asked straightforwardly: "Did you deliberately do it for Shen Shijie?"

Jiang Xiaojie envied her for being beautiful, and changing her boyfriend was like a routine.

Lin Peiyu chuckled, "You're right."

"This is not good." Wang Minyu couldn't help but frowned, and said worriedly, "Aren't you afraid that your boyfriend will be jealous or dump you if he finds out?"

She shrugged indifferently, "It's just for fun, if you don't get along, break up. I'm not worried about not being able to find another partner."

Jiang Xiaojie and Wang Minyu looked at each other.

Lin Peiyu continued, "I'm not married yet, so I'll have enough fun before marriage. If you want to choose a husband, the other party must meet the three criteria—high education, high income, and tall stature. Otherwise, don't marry indiscriminately."

Jiang Xiaojie said angrily: "You are realistic enough."

"It's called reality. Are you two willing to marry someone from a poor family who doesn't have basic living security?"

Wang Minyu commented: "Love is hard to say. As long as the two see each other right, there are still many women who marry this kind of man and share the joys and sorrows."

Jiang Xiaojie also agrees: "That is to say. Who can guarantee that the future marriage will be happy if you choose the three tall men?"

"Oh, you two are short-sighted. May I ask whether you like the historical drama of the Eastern Wang Baochuan who has been guarding the cold kiln for 18 years, or the Western fairy tale Cinderella?"

"..." The two of them were speechless.

Lin Peiyu laughed wildly, "Actually, the CEOs in idol dramas are more attractive to me. As for the elopement scene, I'm not that stupid. I cut off ties with my family for the sake of a man." She held a black wheel and said Lick it to the tip in your mouth, and bite down lightly.

Turning his head to glance at the surname Xiao, he had already noticed him standing behind him reading a magazine.

Xiao Lang rolled his eyes and thought to himself that if the school held a nympho selection contest, Lin Peiyu would be the winner.Putting the computer magazine back, he went to the counter and took a stick of chewing gum to pay the bill.

After leaving the supermarket, he stuffed a piece of chewing gum into his mouth, and immediately rode his bicycle to Xiaosheng's home.

Inside the supermarket, Lin Peiyu is still chatting with her friends. After her boyfriend finishes class, he will go to the restaurant to have dinner and celebrate his birthday...

And indoors, Liu Xiaoyu was lying on the tatami, yawning frequently.

Xiao Lang was busy preparing for the exam, concentrated, and in the blink of an eye, it was nearly ten o'clock.

As soon as he looked up, he realized that Liu Xiaoyu had fallen asleep.Xiao Lang leaned over to shake him, and shouted, "Xiaoyu—"

"Hmm..." He blinked confusedly.

Xiao Lang urged: "Go back to your room and sleep. There are no quilts here. Be careful not to catch a cold."

"Wait a moment……"

"You'll fall asleep later, get up now—"

"Oh, don't..." He turned over, slurring his words, "Ms. Xiao... so noisy..."

Xiao Lang frowned, picked up the textbook and put it on the table, got up and left the Japanese room.

Glancing at the kitchen, it was the same as usual. He stood at the stairs, staring straight at the dim upstairs, quite nervous whether there would be ghosts or not... It would be great if Ajie was there...

Xiao Lang walked up the stairs with trepidation, felt the wall to find the power switch, the "click" light came on suddenly, he looked left and right, there was a bathroom next to the stairs, a balcony behind, and two doors on the right.

Xiao Lang opened the door of the nearest room and came out with a quilt in his arms. When he went downstairs, the voice of the old woman sounded behind him——

"My grandson has been stupid since the car accident..."

scare!Stumbling under his feet, Xiao Lang almost fell down the stairs, and broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

His heart was pounding, and he glanced at the slight shaking of the stair railing.

Suddenly, the old lady appeared in front of her eyes, holding on to the railing, and staggered down the stairs.

Xiao Lang's hands and feet were weak, and he watched the old woman walk into the kitchen.He returned to the Japanese room as if escaping, covered the student with a quilt, and looked back slowly to make sure he didn't see the old woman again, which gradually dispelled some of his fear.

Finally, when Liu's father came home, Xiao Lang packed up his books, notes, and signature pens, forced a smile on his face, said hello, and left Liu's house.

Cycling around to the entrance of the alley, he caught a glimpse of a man and a woman hugging and kissing by the car door. Xiao Lang looked back at the woman with waist-length hair. It was Lin Peiyu...

During the holiday, Xiao Lang and Shen Shijie went shopping in large supermarkets to buy their daily necessities.

"Ajie, you'd better find an opportunity to mention something to Chen Min. It would be better to change your girlfriend as soon as possible." He really doesn't like talking about women's gossip and privacy—especially Lin Peiyu's.

"What do you know?" Shen Shijie picked up the fruits and vegetables and put them into the cart.

Xiao Lang deliberately lowered his voice and said, "That woman is a witch..."

He hesitated, "Witch?"

"That's right. I won't harm Chen Min, lest you will be difficult to be a man in the future." He grabbed the plastic bag in Ajie's hand, picked a few apples, and put them directly into the cart.

"What else do you want to buy?"

Shen Shijie didn't answer and asked instead: "Do you want to eat lamb stove tonight?"

"Okay, anyway, you cook, I have no objection, and I'm not picky."

"I'm a picky eater."

"No way." Xiao Lang retorted: "When you were in the country, no matter what your grandmother cooked, I don't think you ever disliked it, so you just ate it."

"There is a difference between eating at the table and eating in bed, do you understand the meaning?"

Xiao Lang squinted at him, gripped the handle of the cart with both hands, "Shut up..."

"Can't you say it?" He had a narrow expression, trying to tease him, "Since I'm used to driving a car with manual transmission, I found that I can control the performance as I like, which feels good."

"It's a bad game, don't even think about driving it!" Hmph, Xiao Lang fought back, very upset.

"Oh," he took advantage of the topic: "To maintain good performance, you must pay attention to maintenance; car beauty must be done, the sheet metal must be repainted if it is scratched, and parts must be replaced in the factory if they are broken. In case the vehicle crashes violently and you have to clean up the mess, it is safer to buy an insurance policy. What do you think?"

"Wow, you're getting better and better!" Xiao Lang yelled at him regardless of the fact that this is a public place.

"Is the cart malfunctioning?" Shen Shijie lowered his head to check, "It seems that there is no lubricant, and the four wheels underneath are stuck."

"I'm stuck... I'm stuck on your big head!"

He chuckled, trying to tell Xiao Lang not to care too much about other people's eyes, since the two are together, it doesn't matter if people find out that they are a couple.Life can be simple, and the secret language between lovers can be spoken in such a way that others may not understand it.

He pulled the cart and walked to the food freezer section, browsed through the various products on display step by step, and picked and bought some dumplings, hot pot ingredients, omelet skins and the like.

"Just the two of us eating mutton stove seems a bit deserted, do you want to please the students?"

Xiao Lang asked angrily, "Which one?"

"How about we visit Xiaosheng's house as a guest?"

He asked in surprise, "What exactly do you want?"

"What do you think?" Shen Shijie took out his mobile phone, searched the address book, found Xiao Sheng's home phone number, pressed the call button, and handed it to Xiao Lang, "Here, the prophet will speak."

"you……"

Xiao Lang took the phone, and there was no room for him to refuse.Hearing that the call was connected, his tone immediately softened: "Grandma, I'm Teacher Xiao..."

As soon as he entered the elevator, Shen Shijie pressed the button leading to the seventh floor. Xiao Lang stood beside him, watching the elevator door close.

In the corner of the confined space, the little girl turned around slowly with her doll in her arms.It tilted its head, stretched its neck curiously, and stared at the two strangers without blinking.

"Can you see me?"

Xiao Lang's face changed drastically, and his gaze fell on a pair of pink doll shoes on its feet.

Shen Shijie looked at it intently, about ten years old, wearing a pink lace dress with lantern sleeves.

It pressed the button on the third floor, and the whole person retreated to the corner, his feet gradually lifted off the ground, and the floating spirit body changed from clear to transparent.

There is a ghost in the elevator... Xiao Lang let Ajie lead him out of the elevator.

"Silly?"

"Nonsense...how can I not be stupid!"

With great difficulty, he came back to his soul, and he was so angry that he yelled angrily, "I won't dare to take the elevator anymore, and I have to go up the seventh floor to climb the stairs!"

Shen Shijie was taken aback, "Aren't you tired?"

"It's no wonder you're not tired! It's all about you, you really know how to pick your day!" Xiao Lang thumped him.

Shen Shijie was indifferent, "Now we finally know who was pressing the floor switch of the elevator indiscriminately."

Xiao Lang's face darkened, and he recalled that among the residents of this building, there was once a little girl who could see ghosts, but was beaten by her mother.

Shen Shijie turned his head to look at the elevator, wondering how long it had existed?

Xiao Lang remembered that the amulet given by Ajie was effective, and he was not possessed by the old lady when he was in Liu's house. "Ajie, do you know where I put the amulet?"

"Coat pocket. I pick it up and put it on top of the locker before I do the laundry."

Please, Xiao Lang: "Before going out in the morning, you must remind me to wear the amulet."

"Hmm." Shen Shijie leaned into the corridor and asked intimately, "Can you go?"

Xiao Lang squinted, "Are you kidding me?"

"No." He turned his head and pecked his cheek lightly. The unexpected move made Xiao Lang blush.

"What are you doing……"

"That's what I would do, understand?"

Xiao Lang nodded and warned: "It's okay to steal a kiss, but you are not allowed to have an affair!"

He was startled, "How do I treat you normally? Are you insensitive?"

"No, I'm worried that you're going to mess around?" He already knows how to ask, because Ajie has a lot of love.

"Then you'd better keep an eye on me, so that I don't even have a chance to cheat."

Xiao Lang stared blankly, "Which trick are you playing?"

Shen Shijie raised his eyebrows, and instead of answering, asked, "What do you think?"
