stray

He Nian looked at the boy who was eagerly talking to him.

Cheerful songs were playing in the supermarket. As a middle school student with thirst for knowledge, Xiaolu didn't know what his current identity was. He lowered his head and saw the shopping bag that He Nian had just returned from shopping on the second floor of the mall: "Nian Brother, why did you suddenly start buying this one? I think the other brand you wore before looks better..."

The "another brand" he mentioned was the one that He Nian worked so hard to turn an O into a C by himself in the room at that time.

Just as He Nian was about to explain a few words calmly, Xiaolu didn't notice that Yan Ruizhi was with him, so he went up and hooked his hand: "Then do you want to go together? I just bought something and went up..."

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of hand if he didn't speak, He Nian spoke up immediately.

"I know you like me as a teacher very much, but I really can't get away recently!" He Nian saw Xiaolu's eyes widened and was about to speak, but he didn't give him this chance, so he quickly grabbed the conversation, "Your brother will definitely find a better one." Tutor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately glanced at Yan Ruizhi.

Unexpectedly, the expected surprise or other emotions did not appear on his face, Yan Ruizhi didn't even hear the conversation between He Nian and Xiaolu clearly, and kept his eyes on Wen Huai.

He keenly sensed something was wrong.

As if aware of his gaze, Yan Ruizhi turned his head indifferently, glanced at Xiaolu, and asked He Nian: "Is this your former student?"

"No, I'm—"

Seeing that Xiaolu is going to be demolished, He Nian is serious: "Xiaolu!"

"Brother Nian!"

He moved to Yan Ruizhi's side and forcibly changed the subject: "Aren't you going to buy something?"

As he spoke, he showed the queuing code on his phone again: "Look, we've been queuing for an hour and we're about to arrive, so we'll go up first..."

Xiaolu's attention is easily distracted, and soon he didn't worry about being a New Year's student, and his tone became excited: "What a coincidence!"

"My brother and I are going to this restaurant too!" Xiaolu excitedly said, "We can share a table!"

He Nian's eyes darkened.

"If you don't want to go, you can change to another one." Yan Ruizhi said indifferently.

It's just that there is no emotion in the voice. It would be okay if it was normal, but He Nian is very guilty now, and sweat is about to come down: "Do you not mind?"

Yan Ruizhi pursed his lips: "It doesn't matter."

The small road on the side was happy, and he was about to follow the New Year: "Brother that year, shall we go up together?"

It's just that before his hand touched New Year, the other party hid back like Lin Daiyu, moved to Yan Ruizhi's right side, and said weakly: "...OK."

After watching the play for a long time, Wen Huai finally coughed and dragged Xiao Lu back to his side: "Then thank you, Mr. He, for saving us so much time in queuing."

He Nian didn't even have a chance to make eye contact with him, so he followed with the corners of his mouth twitching.

Except for Xiaolu among the four, the remaining three are full of thoughts at this moment.

He Nian didn't know why Yan Ruizhi agreed. It stands to reason that with his personality, he must be uncomfortable meeting two people he doesn't know at dinner.

When he got on the elevator, he deliberately took half a step back, took out his mobile phone at lightning speed, found Wen Huai's dialog box and entered three words.

【Reasonable: Help me】

Yan Ruizhi kept silent, showing no emotion.

Of course he doesn't like sharing tables with strangers.

It's just that it wasn't the first time he met Wen Huai, but only now did he know that He Nian's original tutor was actually this man's younger brother.

He didn't actually have any hostility towards Wen Huai, he just recalled the day when he semi-forced He Nian to quit his tutoring...

Was he chatting with this person at that time?

Will something happen again?

After all, I was really angry at the time, so I made a decision for He Nian.

I don't know if I will be embarrassed by this person in the future.

He thought so, and then said the phrase "it doesn't matter".

When I arrived at the store, there was a table for four in the corner that was just empty.

When entering, Wen Huai took out his mobile phone calmly, and glanced at the message on it: "You light it first, we go to the bathroom."

Then he couldn't help but dragged his younger brother out of the door first.

Finally, there were only the two of them left. He Nian and Yan Ruizhi sat side by side, feeling uncomfortable: "Mr. Yan, if you don't like it, let's change."

Yan Ruizhi looked up at him.

"It's okay." He said, "Is this the student you tutored before?"

Treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, He Nian nodded in fear, and hastily promised: "I haven't been there again since you said it last time!"

"Did his brother tell you to go?" Yan Ruizhi continued to ask.

Realizing that he might have misunderstood something, He Nian quickly said, "No, I only got to know Wen after I went there... I knew his brother."

Yan Ruizhi didn't speak immediately, but just stared into He Nian's eyes.

Before saying a few more words, Wen Huai came back with Xiaolu.

Now that everyone is here, He Nian bites the bullet and introduces: "This is Yan... Teacher, and also my boss during the internship."

He looked at Xiaolu again, but this time Xiaolu didn't chase after him to talk about things that he might slip up, and even learned to answer quickly: "Brother Nian was my former tutor!"

Xiaolu didn't mention Wen Huai, acquiescing that the current relationship between Wen Huai and He Nian is just a tutor's client.

Wen Huai waved his hand: "Since I used your account today, I will pay for it—"

"No need." Yan Ruizhi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted, "I heard from He Nian that you took good care of him."

Wen Huai didn't seem to understand what Yan Ruizhi meant, and he wanted to fight over: "It's okay, Mr. Yan, I have never entertained my family so many times during the New Year's greetings. It can be regarded as repaying him for teaching Xiaolu mathematics."

Yan Ruizhi's tone was light: "It's okay, as his new boss, I thanked you for taking care of me before."

Xiaolu on the side widened his eyes, but seemed to be charged a little hush money, and only dared to open his mouth slightly, not daring to speak.

He Nian concentrated on stirring the sesame oil in the bowl, but didn't speak.

But Wen Huai seemed to be very persistent: "Then you want to take care of our New Year's greetings, so I have to invite you this time!"

Hearing the words "Let's celebrate the New Year", Yan Ruizhi looked at him calmly, then raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The last time Mr. Wen took care of you in Holic?"

As soon as he said these words, Wen Huai was startled, only to realize that Yan Ruizhi recognized him.

Immediately cleared his throat: "This..."

Yan Ruizhi looked at him, wanting to hear what Wen Huai could say.

Just as the waiter brought the hot pot in, the two looked at each other through the hot Jiugongge, one was calm, the other hesitated to speak.

In the end, Wen Huai seemed to have finally made a decision, and heaved a long sigh: "Since Mr. Yan already knows..."

The remaining three looked at him.

"...That's right, I'm really interested in New Year greetings."

"..."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Xiaolu almost spit out Coke, looked at his own brother with a terrified look, and moved a little away tremblingly: "Wow, wow."

He Nian's face flushed red, he almost choked, and kept blinking.

"But Teacher Yan came in time that time." Wen Huai continued without any fluctuations on his face, "I can only use my brother's tutor as an excuse, and I just want to see him once in a while..."

Wen Huai was born gentle and soft-spoken, but now he sounds more sincere and sincere.

I just don't know what the person who was looked at more is thinking now.

He Nian's mind was numb, and a huge question mark was about to appear above his head.

"Later he rejected me, and he didn't even come to my house as a tutor." Wen Huai made up the story with reason and evidence, and even his tone gradually became low, then he patted Xiaolu on the head, "I'm sorry, Xiaolu, it's only now Tell you this."

Xiaolu looked at him with eyes like seeing a ghost.

Wen Huai even added a lot of embellishments, but the general idea was the same. He felt that it was because of himself that he squeezed out his brother's favorite tutor. He was not a good brother, and he was not very worthy of New Year greetings.

Yan Ruizhi listened calmly.

The hot pot was still steaming, but the meal was not finished.

He looked at the two brothers who were still sitting there, and said lightly: "Then I hope you can find a tutor that suits you."

After that, he stood up and walked out.

Of course, He Nian didn't dare to be negligent, he only had time to turn his head and gave Brother Yuanzhong an inexplicable look, and immediately chased after him.

After the two of them had left, Wen Huai started to rub his belly.

He moved freely, dipped his thin hairy belly into the hot oil and hot spicy hot pot, estimated the time to fish it out, and ate to his heart's content.

His younger brother, on the other hand, was not so calm.

Xiaolu was trembling, he hadn't recovered from the shock, and his voice trembled: "Brother! You won't really treat him!"

With a shake of Wen Huai's hand, another piece of hairy belly fell off.

He only felt that it was not easy for him to be a blame man, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Fart!"

After leaving the shopping mall, Yan Ruizhi didn't say a word to He Nian all the way from getting in the car to returning home.

When the two went upstairs, He Nian graciously opened the door and poured water for him, and bought a cake on the way to put it on the table. Yan Ruizhi just glanced at it coldly, not intending to move.

He Nian didn't know what to say, he wanted Wen Huai to save him, who would have thought that it would be this kind of rescue...

But the matter has come to this point, there is no other way, since the No. [-] actor has already given the script, if he doesn't want to expose his secrets, he can only follow along.

Sorry bro.

He Nian said silently in his heart, and then made enough mental preparations: "Mr. Yan!"

Yan Ruizhi raised his eyelids to look at him, but didn't speak.

"You know everything now, don't be angry," he knelt down in front of Yan Ruizhi to admit his mistake, "and it was indeed like what he said, that's why he wanted me to stay in the clubhouse..."

When Yan Ruizhi mentioned this, there was an unknown fire in his heart: "He told you to stay and you stayed. What if he asked you to do something else?"

"Didn't you come to take me away?" He Nian lowered his head, very obedient.

"And—" He Nian paused, and began to be good-looking, "It's just that he likes me and says he must, but he won't force me, but I didn't even give him a look!"

"..." Yan Ruizhi didn't know how things got to this point, and he always felt that something was wrong, "Why are you telling me these things?"

"Didn't you say at the time that as long as you follow me, you will be clean!" He Nian just had to engrave the word male virtue on his forehead, "He chased me hard! He kept confessing to me, but I didn't accept it!"

Seeing that the more he said the more outrageous, Yan Ruizhi looked at him with a headache: "So?"

"So," the pitfalls were all pitted, and He Nian concluded his statement, "The reason why I went with you was also because..."

He raised his head: "I only like you!"
