Xinman's Collection
Chapter 23
Xin Man found it a very pleasant thing to see the art exhibition with Tantai Buddha, because Tantai Buddha's knowledge is indeed profound, and he also knows a lot about art. If you like it, Tantai Buddha will explain it in a soft voice.
This trip to the art exhibition can be said to be enjoyable, so that when meeting with Wei Yan and Shen Rui, Xin Man still had a happy smile on his face.
"Hey, how do you look?" Xin Man hugged Tantai Meng and greeted him. The little guy was tired, so he acted like a baby and let Xin Man hug him.
Wei Yan raised his eyebrows, "I won't talk about it, you seem to be very happy to visit."
Xin Man pursed his lips and smiled, his shy look made Wei Yan even more surprised, while Shen Rui's eyes were deep.
"Here, a gift for the children."
Wei Yan took out two spring bears. The bears were brown-gray. The springs connected the bears to the wooden sticks. They were easy to hold and cute to look at.
Tantai's eyes lit up, and Xin Man took it to him.
"Thank you uncle." Tantai Meng said softly.
Wei Yan rubbed his nose, how could Xin Man be an older brother, but become an uncle here?Well, he knew that Xin Man's face had reached a certain level of tenderness.
At this time, Shen Rui also came over. He had something for Xin Man, "It's a small gift specially made by the Academy of Fine Arts."
This gift is completely handmade, and there are not many things. Shen Rui only got one thanks to his teacher's relationship, and now it is given to Xin Man.
The gift was a bird’s nest, which was done by hand from construction to painting. It was complete and beautiful. Inside was a variety of forest animals with interesting and cute poses. Xin Man fell in love with it at first sight.
"Thank you, Shen Rui." Tantai Meng was carried by Tantai Buddha, and Xin Man took the gift.
Take it as an apology gift, Shen Rui thought.
I thought today was a lucky day, but Xin Man cried before leaving the gate of the Academy of Fine Arts. It should be said that it was the physiological saline that was forced out of pain.
A small cart of paint buckets brought in was knocked over. Xin Man was not the one who hit him, but the one who was unfortunately affected. The heavy paint bucket rolled down and hit his ankle, knocking him down. , Tantai Buddha hugged Xin Man from behind, and the little nephew was also frightened.
"It's all right, brother is all right." Xin Man endured the pain and tried to comfort his tearful little nephew.
"Wow, it's bleeding." The little nephew cried out, pointing at Xin Man's ankle.
The people who hit the car apologized, the people pushing the car apologized, and they were still picking up the fallen paint buckets.
Xin Man was busy comforting his little nephew, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."
It really didn't hurt. Although it was bleeding, it was just a small wound. Fortunately, the paint bucket was small. Although the edge was a little sharp, it was only scratched and a small cut was made.
"Stand up and have a look." The little nephew had been put on the ground a long time ago, and now he was pulling on Tantaifo's pants to cry or not. Tantaifo supported Xin Man's arm and asked him to try to stand up and have a look.
"Hiss." When he stood up, Xin Man realized something was wrong, with a mournful face, his ankle was probably swollen again.
"There is a clinic nearby, go there and have a look." Shen Rui said.
So, after Xin Man finished taking the medicine and put on the Band-Aid, they went home separately. When they returned, Tantai Meng sat next to Xin Man, looking at Xin Man's ankle without blinking.
It was red and swollen, and it was obvious.
"It's okay, the medicine has been sprayed." Xin Man patted his little nephew's head.
Without saying a word, the little nephew hugged Xin Man's arm silently. After a while, as if he remembered something, he raised his head and looked at Xin Man.
"what happened?"
Xin Man lowered his head and approached suspiciously, Tantai Meng pursed his lips and kissed Xin Man's face with a smack, and said softly, "Kissing doesn't hurt anymore." That's how his mother comforted him.
Xin Man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled happily, and smacked his little nephew's face, making him laugh too. The two were playing happily in the back seat, and Tantai Buddha watched from the rearview mirror. , Slightly raised the corners of his lips.
When they got home, Tantai Yan was already waiting at the door, Xin Man jumped out of the car, Tantai Meng held him carefully, and didn't let go until he was in front of his father.
Tantai Yan took his son's hand, nodded to Xin Man, "I'm sorry for your trouble." I also knew that when they were together, Xin Man should take care of Tantai Mengdo.
"No trouble, Mengmeng is very cute." Xin Man was taken aback, and quickly waved his hands and said.
Tantai Yan also noticed that Xin Man's ankles were red and swollen, and it was inconvenient to stand at the moment, so he took Tantai Meng away without saying much.
Supported by Tantai Buddha, Xin Man jumped into the room.
"Phew." Sitting on the sofa, Xin Man breathed a sigh of relief. His ankle was really unlucky. After being swollen once, it swelled up again this time. That's right, it was the same ankle both times.
"There's paint on the arm."
At this time, Tantai Buddha came over and touched Xin Man's arm with his fingertips.
"Huh?" Xin Man swung his arm and looked, there were indeed several spots of paint splashed on it.
Not only on the arms, but also on the clothes on the back. At that time, a paint bucket was broken, and it should have splashed on the body at that time.
"Go take a bath." Tantai Buddha suggested.
Xin Man was about to nod, when Tantai Buddha said the next sentence naturally, "Do you want me to help?"
"Ahem." Xin Man choked on his own saliva, "No, no, I just have a swollen ankle." His hands were fine.
Tantai Buddha just pressed Xin Man's head, "Remember to spray medicine after washing."
"Yeah, yeah." Xin nodded with a warm face.
He thought he should have taken a perfect and quick shower, but today must not be his lucky day. When he came out, Xin Man accidentally exerted force on his ankle, and the red and swollen area immediately hurt, causing him to hold the things on the side As a result, the things on it crackled and fell.
"Full, what's wrong?"
And Tantai Buddha came in at this time, Xin Man thought, fortunately I have already put on my pajamas, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
"I accidentally knocked it down." Xin Man pointed at the things on the ground resentfully.
He bent down to pick it up, but his ankle started to hurt, and he couldn't squat down on one foot.
Tantai Buddha came over, "I'll come, Manman, you go out first."
"Okay." Xin Man scratched his cheek, went out and leaned against the door frame of the bathroom to watch, he felt that he was causing trouble to Teacher Tantai.
When Tantai Buddha turned around, he saw Xin Man blushing but frowning, "Does your ankle hurt?"
Xin Man nodded. When he put on his trousers just now, his ankle hit the ground lightly and it did hurt.
"Take you to spray the medicine." Tantai Buddha helped Xin Man into the room and found out the medicine.
The cold liquid medicine was sprayed on the wound, and Xin Man also inhaled softly.
Tantai Buddha put the lid on, but did not get up to leave, but looked up and said with a smile, "Do you want me to kiss you?"
Xin Man opened his eyes, suspecting that he was hallucinating.
But Tantai Buddha approached at the next moment, and a gentle kiss fell on Xin Man's face. When he left, his eyes became softer. Xin Man only heard him say, "Isn't it painless to kiss?"
Xin Man thought in a daze, isn't that what the little nephew said, and it was all grown-up nonsense... The little nephew believed it, how could you believe it, Mr. Tantai?
"I, I..." Xin Man felt that his head was smoking, and he didn't know what to say.
"Aren't you going to return one?" After a while, Tantai Buddha said with some disappointment.
"Back, back to what?" Xin Man asked stupidly, his head froze.
"No, it's nothing." Tantai Fo rubbed Xin Man's head, stood up and prepared to leave, "Take a good rest, Man Man."
After Tantai Buddha left, Xin Man sat by the bed for a while, then suddenly his eyes widened, realizing what Tantai Buddha said.
Kiss back?
Xin Man thought, because the little nephew kissed him, he returned it, so Teacher Tantai kissed him, and he also returned one?
"No way!" Xin Man covered his face and lay down on the bed, thinking that he must have lost his mind.
"Hmm... go to bed, and continue reading tomorrow." Xin Man muttered and climbed onto the bed, and covered himself with the quilt. However, after tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, he didn't feel sleepy, and his mind was full of Tantai Buddha's kiss just now.
"Probably the same as the little nephew, just want to comfort me." Finally, Xin Man consciously came up with a satisfactory answer, and then fell asleep.
"Does it still hurt?"
In the dream, he heard Tantai Buddha's deep voice, right next to him, the feeling of ear-to-eye contact, hair intertwined, and breath blending.
"It hurts." He heard himself reply in a low voice.
"Kiss...it doesn't hurt anymore." Approaching himself as if sighing, the words gradually disappeared in the lips that touched the two, eager and powerful, hotter than his heart.
Xin Man opened his eyes wide, and felt the heavy breathing of the person in front of him, so provocative, and the moist and hot touch from his lips made his scalp tingle, and his whole body seemed to be immersed in the breath of Tantai Buddha, making him feel People go limp all over.
Xin Man only felt that one of his legs was weak, and the feeling of weightlessness appeared, and he opened his eyes the next moment, and woke up.
He lay on the bed in a daze, and it took several seconds to distinguish between reality and dream, and then blushed and dripped blood, and ran into the bathroom...
Tantai Buddha took a sip of the white porridge made early in the morning, paused with his hand, and looked at Xin Man, "Manman...have you changed your taste?"
"what?"
Xin Man raised his head absent-mindedly, met Tantai Buddha's sight and immediately avoided it, "What, what changed?"
"White porridge." Tantai Fo put down the spoon with some doubts, "It's sweet."
"Sweet?"
Xin Man was taken aback, then took a bite, put down the spoon and said, "I put the sugar as salt..."
Stimulated by that dream, he was still in a trance in the morning, and Xin Man didn't know how to make this breakfast.
"There is also sweet porridge, Mr. Tantai, if you are not used to eating it, I..."
"It's okay, the sweet ones are delicious." Tantai Fo didn't care, and continued to eat.
Holding the spoon, Xin Man secretly looked at Tantai Buddha, watching his every move, his expression was indifferent, but his eyes were filled with joy and happiness. He hid all his emotions in his heart, and he could only see a little bit from his eyes.
After washing the dishes, Tantai Buddha was still standing in the living room. He was very self-disciplined. Even if he was resting at home, he would put on strict shirts and trousers. He probably felt the heat at this moment, and he was undoing them one by one slowly. Roll up the cuffs, followed by a few buttons on the neckline, revealing a little of the chest.
Xin Man looked intently, he wanted to move his eyes away, but couldn't, for some reason, Teacher Tantai's movements were so ordinary but so attractive.
"Many." Xin Man heard him say, "Will you go to the third floor to read with me?"
"...Okay." Xin Man nodded.
The third floor has large bright windows, surrounded by bookcases, and a soft sofa in front of it. The tranquility here is undisturbed, making people feel soothed.
The warm sunshine was shining, not dazzling and very comfortable. Xin Man sat on the sofa, stepped on the comfortable carpet, and read seriously with a book in his hand.
Time passed unknowingly, and Xin Man had already read most of the book, and this was one of the few times he was completely immersed in his studies and did not feel irritable yet.
"What to eat for lunch?"
Hearing Tantai Buddha ask him suddenly, Xin Man raised his head and thought for a while, "Would you like to eat pot stickers?"
Tantai Buddha had no objection and nodded.
Xin Man burst out laughing.
"What's wrong?" Tantai Buddha raised his eyes in doubt.
"It just occurred to me that when we were in college, the first thing we said after class was what to eat for lunch?" Xin Man was overjoyed, "And what to eat in the morning and what to eat in the evening." Probably these three sentences are the most common Said.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Tantaifo's mouth, "What did you often eat when you were in college?"
Xinman: "Many, the cafeteria in our university is very good. There are four floors in total, which are very large. Most of the first floor is for breakfast or snacks. The second floor is for noodles, rice or other things. We walk every time after class. It's all very fast, and I'm afraid I have to queue up in the cafeteria, but I remember that I like stir-fried vegetables the most in college, and there is a restaurant that is particularly good..."
After talking excitedly for a long time, Xin Man clutched his stomach, saying that he was hungry, got up and wanted to take Tantai Buddha's hand downstairs to cook.
"Teacher Tantai..."
Xin Man held his dry and warm hand. He had relaxed before, but now his hands were clasped together. Only then did Xin Man react, blushing and let go.
Tantai Buddha had already stood up, and after being let go, he just looked at Xin Man strangely, "Aren't you going down?"
"Go down." Xin Man nodded to calm himself down.
When a person's thoughts are confused, it's better to find something to do for himself. Xin Man thinks that cooking is quite calming. After all, if you think about it, you won't have lunch.
After eating, the two returned to the third floor. I don't know if it was because they were full, or the summer afternoon just made people drowsy. Xin Man only felt that the surroundings were warm and sleepiness gradually rose. Falling aside, he leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The thin white gauze curtains blocked the glare of the sun, but it didn't make the room dark. The warm light shone softly on Xin Man's face. The fine dust slowly fell, and the air became quiet.
Tantai Buddha had been sitting opposite Xin Man, reading with a book spread out on his lap. When Xin Man's book fell on the sofa beside him, he raised his head and slowly closed the book.
The person who slid down on the sofa closed his eyes and slept peacefully, with a slight blush on his face. Tantai Buddha knew that it was just because the sun was too warm.
After reading for an unknown amount of time, he gently put the book on the round table beside him, stood up and walked to Xin Man's side.
He stood at an angle that would not block the light at all, but the tall figure seemed oppressive. Even though he was asleep, Xin Man moved his arms subconsciously, but the next moment, Tantai Buddha leaned over and gently held his hand Hands, gradually squat down, and sit on the soft carpet.
Xin Man didn't move, only the sound of shallow breathing, sleeping very well.
Tantai Buddha rubbed Xin Man's palm, it was soft, and there was some dry flour on the tip of his ring finger, which was stained during cooking at noon. Tantai Buddha saw the corners of his lips curled up, and laughed silently, like this He also thinks Xin Man is cute.
Then, he looked up, and saw that Xinman's cheeks were rosy, and his lips were also red. When eating potstickers at noon, he poured vinegar and chili into the bowl. Although he couldn't eat too spicy, he put a lot of chili, bit by bit. with.
After shaking hands again, the person sitting on the carpet couldn't help leaning forward, and a soft kiss fell on his lips, hot and forbearing.
When Xin Man woke up in a daze, Tantai Buddha was still sitting on the sofa opposite, but he was already reading a different book.
"I, how long have I been asleep?" Xin blushed and scratched his hair, falling asleep on the sofa.
"Less than an hour." Tantai Buddha looked at the time and replied.
"Oh." Xin Man nodded in a daze. It turned out that it was only so little time. He thought he slept until evening, but when he looked at the sky outside, it really didn't change much.
A little thirsty after waking up, Xin Man unconsciously licked his lips. When he wanted to drink water, he found that there was no water in the glass. He wanted to go downstairs to pour water, but Tantai Buddha picked it up first, "I am go."
"Thank you, Teacher Tantai."
After Tantai Buddha left, Xin Man picked up the book on the sofa and read it for a while, only to find that Tantai Buddha hadn't come up yet, it took a long time, and it wouldn't take so long to pour water.
Xin put down the book in doubt and walked towards the stairs.
Before reaching the second floor, he heard the voice of Tantai Buddha and a female voice at the same time, so he stood on the stairs leading to the second floor and looked down.
"Teacher Tantai?" Xin Man said, and the two who were talking raised their heads together.
Looking up from the living room on the first floor, you can also see people. Xin Man found that the person who spoke was Li Yingyue, a student of Tantai Buddhist School, who had been here before.
The moment Li Yingyue saw Xin Man, there was still a smile on the corner of Li Yingyue's mouth, but when she saw where Xin Man was standing, her eyes widened slightly, her face became stiff, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was barely maintained.
Seeing her weird expression, Xin Man just scratched her face in puzzlement, but Li Yingyue adjusted herself and asked Xin Man with a smile, "Did you just come down from the third floor?"
Xin Man nodded naturally, he looked at the water cup in Tantai Buddha's hand, and licked his lips again, feeling very thirsty.
"You go out." Tantai Buddha said to Li Yingyue.
Li Yingyue knew what he meant by saying that he refused. She didn't want to give up, but she couldn't find a reason to continue. Suddenly she looked up at Xin Man on the stairs, "I've met you several times, but I still don't know your name." .”
Xin Man was debating whether to go down for a drink of water, but he was taken aback when he heard this. He didn't know Li Yingyue well, but when a girl asked his name, Xin Man would of course answer, "Xin Man."
Li Yingyue returned with a smile, and then said playfully, "Xin Man, my birthday is in a few days, and my home is in T City. Can I invite you and Professor Tantai to my birthday party?"
Xin Man didn't notice Tantai Buddha's expression turned cold, he thought, no wonder this girl appeared here, so he was going to invite Teacher Tantai, so he should just incidentally.
Xin Mangang wanted to refuse, but Li Yingyue seemed to see his thoughts, put her hands together hurriedly, and said please, "My birthday is during the summer vacation, and some of my classmates and friends have gone home. There are not many people invited, but I really want to be lively and lively." , can I ask you to go with Professor Tantai?"
It's not good to refuse now.
Xin Man scratched his cheek, and looked at Tantai Buddha uncertainly.
"You can decide for yourself." Tantai Buddha's voice was flat, unable to hear any opinions.
Xin Man felt sensitively that Teacher Tantai seemed a little unhappy...
Over there, Li Yingyue was still urging Xin Man, unfamiliar with her and still a girl, Xin Man couldn't refuse, so she nodded indiscriminately, thinking that she would give a gift when she thought it was time to leave.
"Thank you so much, Xin Man." Li Yingyue smiled, "Then you and Professor Tantai must come."
She turned her head to see Tantai Buddha's expression, but when she touched his indifferent eyes, she slowly withdrew her smile, said goodbye to Xin Man and left.
"Teacher Tantai... are you unhappy?"
When Tantai Buddha went upstairs with a water cup, he passed by Xin Man, who grabbed him and said.
But Tantai Buddha drew his hand away and approached Xin Man, holding a water glass in one hand, and stretched out the other hand over Xin Man's side, propping it on the handrail of the stairs.
Xin Man opened his eyes, this posture is equivalent to being surrounded by Mr. Tantai in his arms, but the water glass is close in front of him, and he is afraid of spilling the water if he moves.
"No." Tantai Foo paused, then added, "Nothing to you."
Xin Man grasped his meaning, "You are not unhappy with me, but you are unhappy with that Li Yingyue, are you?"
Tantai Buddha nodded, but Xin Man was even more puzzled.
"Why? At school... uh, she's disobedient, isn't she a good student?" Xin Man asked tentatively.
Tantai Buddha smiled, "This is not elementary school, but junior high school."
"Why is that?" Xin Man felt that he knew, "Is it... about her birthday party? Teacher Tantai, you don't want to go, but I agreed."
Tantai Buddha didn't say it clearly, but rubbed Xin Man's head, "This is your freedom, Man Man, but there are some things that even if you ignore them, you will still block your eyes without self-knowledge. I just want to solve them." one time."
Xin Man felt that his comprehension ability was reduced and he did not understand.
He tentatively asked, "...is it troublesome?"
"No trouble, let's go up." Tantai Buddha smiled and took Xin Man's hand to go upstairs.
Xin Man glanced sideways at Tantai Buddha, and found that he was laughing more and more during this time.
····································
This time, the redness and swelling on the ankle subsided quickly, and even the scratches had scabbed over. Xin Man wore jeans with ankles exposed, a pair of white shoes, and an ordinary T-shirt on his upper body.
"Is this okay to wear?"
Xin Man couldn't help asking Tantai Buddha that the invitation for Li Yingyue's birthday party had already been sent, and it was in a big hotel. Xin Man checked and found that the prices of the hotel were very expensive. He thought it was just a birthday party. You can have a meal in any restaurant.
Tantaifo was wearing a white shirt, black suit pants, tall and tall, and he was also wearing ordinary clothes, buttoning his cuffs, "It looks good."
Xin Man was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was praising himself, so he blushed and replied, "Teacher Tantai is prettier than me."
Even wearing a white shirt and black pants without any decorative pattern is very handsome.
"Thank you Manman." Tantai Buddha raised the corners of his lips again, his voice was low and sweet.
"No, you're welcome." Xin Man scratched his face.
When they arrived at the hotel, Li Yingyue was standing outside in a white dress. When she saw the two of them, she greeted them with a smile, "Xin Man, you are here."
"Well, happy birthday to you, this is a gift from Teacher Tantai and me."
Xin Man handed the two gift boxes to Li Yingyue. Teacher Tantai had no interest in choosing gifts, so Xin Man bought both gifts.
"Thank you."
Li Yingyue took it over with a smile, she glanced at Tantai Buddha casually, then looked down at the two gift boxes, both wrapped in delicate flower paper, without signature, "Which one is from you? Xin Man." Li Yingyue said asked naturally.
Both were given by him. Xin Man touched his nose and pointed to one casually.
Li Yingyue hugged both of them tightly, and brought Xin Man and Tantai Fo into the hotel.
She reserved a lobby, and there are already people there, most of them are the classmates Li Yingyue invited before, and some of her other friends, some students recognized Tantai Buddha, and when the two came in, they couldn't help looking here , some secretly, some aboveboard.
"It's really Professor Tantai, Li Yingyue was really invited."
"...I didn't expect Professor Tantai to come, Li Yingyue, she is not..."
"Shh, you care so much, but who is that person next to Professor Tantai?"
"I don't know, but it's also very beautiful..."
……
"Yingyue." At this time, a friend of Li Yingyue came over. She was not a student of T University, but she knew Tantai Buddha. She looked at Li Yingyue with a playful look, "Yo, I really invited you." The last sentence was in Neither Xin Man nor Tantai Fo heard what Li Yingyue said.
Li Yingyue smiled, and said instead, "I have to go to the door to pick up someone, please entertain me."
"Do not worry."
Li Yingyue left with peace of mind, but before that, she carried the gift from Xin Man to the small room in the inner room, where all her birthday presents were placed.
Li Yingyue took out the gift box in her left hand and put it aside casually, and put the gift box in her right hand in the most conspicuous place. Xin Man was referring to the gift box in her left hand just now.
After the release, she went out again.
The birthday cake that Li Yingyue ordered was a big three-tiered cake. On the top was a little figure in the shape of a princess with a crown. Xin Man belatedly discovered that Li Yingyue's family was probably very rich.
After making a wish, Li Yingyue distributed the cake to everyone, and when it came to Tantai Buddha, she suddenly smiled playfully, "I almost forgot, Teacher Tantai doesn't like sweets, so I'll keep this one .”
After speaking, people around laughed. Xin Man was holding a small plate of cake, and suddenly felt that the eyes of the people around him were so weird, as if they wanted to make a scene, but held back.
Tantai Buddha has been standing quietly beside Xin Man, with one hand in the pocket of his trousers, tall and straight, indifferent to everything here, Xin Man suddenly thought, even if Li Yingyue really handed the cake to Teacher Tantai In front of him, Teacher Tantai would not accept it either.
The crowd scattered around, Xin Man saw that Tantai Buddha hadn't eaten since he came here, so he couldn't help but said, "Teacher Tantai, do you want to have something to eat, there are sushi and salad over there. "
Tantai Buddha shook his head, "Not interested."
Xin Man thought about it, Teacher Tantai bought him some sweets last time, and the two of them ate together, it didn't look like he didn't like it, so Xin Man dug out a small spoonful of cake and handed it to Tantai Buddha's mouth, " Do you want to eat?"
He hadn't eaten the cake yet, so he gave Tantai Buddha the first bite.
Tantaifo looked at Xinman, and sure enough, he lowered his head and ate the cake. The cake was well made, and the cream was not greasy. Tantaifo didn't frown, and pulled Xinman to leave after eating.
"Xin Man, wait a minute." At this moment, Li Yingyue's voice came from behind.
Xin Man turned her head and found that her face was a little ugly, the cake paper plate she was holding was crumpled, and a little cream was rubbing on her hand.
Li Yingyue pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed, "I didn't expect Professor Tantai to want to eat cake too, how about me..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered that all the cakes had been distributed, and the cake in her hand... She still had self-knowledge, knowing that even if she gave it to her, Tantai Buddha would not take it.
"Ah, no need, Teacher Tantai and I can eat one." Xin Man thought it was Li Yingyue's self-talk just now, and now she is more embarrassed and regretful, so she hurriedly waved her hands.
Li Yingyue glanced at Xin Man, and suddenly asked, "Do you and Professor Tantai often eat dessert together?"
The action of feeding the cake looks familiar and dazzling.
Xin Man was stunned. He only bought dessert once. Although the quantity was a bit large, it was not too often. So he shook his head, "No."
As soon as Li Yingyue was relieved, Xin Man continued, "Teacher Tantai doesn't like desserts very much, he bought me a lot that time, and I was afraid that I couldn't finish it by myself, so I asked Teacher Tantai to eat with me... "
What Xin Man meant was that even as Li Yingyue said, Teacher Tantai doesn't like desserts, but a little bit can still be eaten.
But after he finished speaking, Li Yingyue's face turned ugly again.
Xin Man was stunned, he didn't know what was going on, he didn't have many female friends, the one he knew best was Xin Xin, but Xin Xin was his older sister, he really couldn't deal with a girl like Li Yingyue.
Li Yingyue smiled dryly, "I bought some desserts for Professor Tantai last time. The professor said he didn't like it, so he threw it away."
"Ah? Oh, that's it..." Xin Man smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.
Li Yingyue took a deep breath, and suddenly turned to Tantai Buddha, "Professor Tantai, can I talk to you? Just for a while." She spoke in a very low posture.
Xin Man didn't know why he turned his head, and met Tantai Buddha's eyes.
When Li Yingyue spoke again, Tantai Buddha turned and walked outside, Li Yingyue hurriedly followed, and put the cake in his hand on the corner of the table.
After the two went out, Li Yingyue's friend walked up to Xin Man and said worriedly, "I don't know if Yingyue's birthday wish will come true."
"What?" Xin Man turned his head in doubt.
"It's nothing." Li Yingyue's friend shook her head with a smile, and then asked Xin Man, "I heard that you live in Professor Tantai's house. Is he easy to get along with?"
"Well, Teacher Tantai is very kind." Xin Man nodded.
He will care about him, buy him red dates and walnuts to nourish his body, carry him on his back, accompany him home to visit his grandma, and patiently teach him to learn...
There are many, many, and Xin Man feels in a trance that Tantai Buddha's attitude towards him is tolerant and relaxed.
"So it's different at school and at home?" Li Yingyue's friend's eyes lit up, "I thought he was as cold and unkind at home as he was at school."
Xin Man opened his mouth, wanting to say that Teacher Tantai is not cold or unkind, he just...
What is he?
Xin Man was a little stunned, and suddenly found that after getting along for so long, Tantai Fo seemed to be only treating himself and his family, but whether it was his own family, or even Teacher Tantai's family, he always felt that there was something wrong with him. So alienated.
"do you know?"
At this time, Li Yingyue's friend said again, mysteriously, "I heard that Professor Tantai suffered from emotional deficiency disorder since he was a child, and he was very indifferent to everything, even to family affection. People with this disease can only Relying on a lot of care from my family since I was a child, and correcting bit by bit..."
Li Yingyue's friend wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Xin Man hastily, "No, it's impossible."
Facing Li Yingyue's friend's stupefaction, Xin Man pursed his lips and said, "Teacher Tantai is not like this now."
Li Yingyue's friend shrugged her shoulders indifferently, "That should be fine, but it's also good, the success rate of Yingyue's confession will be higher."
"What?" This time it was Xin Man's turn to be stunned, "Confession?"
"Yes."
"But, but they are a teacher-student relationship..." Xin Man said with difficulty.
Li Yingyue's friend looked at Xin Man with a strange expression, "What age is this? Besides, Yingyue was only temporarily transferred to help Professor Tantai do experiments. After this is completed, she will be transferred back, and she will graduate in half a year. What."
"Oh." Xin Man nodded blankly.
He thought, no wonder he always sees her at home, so...
And Li Yingyue followed Tantai Buddha to the outside, she pointed to a corner, "Let's go there."
Tantai Buddha had no objection and walked over.
Facing Tantai Buddha, Li Yingyue involuntarily became nervous, but now that the matter had come to an end, she mustered up the courage to speak out her feelings.
"Our two families know each other well. My father took me to your house when I was a child. I...I liked you very much at that time, Professor Tantai." Li Yingyue said with a red face.
At that time, Tantai Buddha had just grown up, and Li Yingyue fell in love with her at first sight, but at that time, Tantai Buddha was even more indifferent and alienated, and ignored her, and went abroad within a few days.
At that time, Li Yingyue only had superficial feelings, and naturally she would not do anything to pursue her abroad, she just thought about it for a few days, and then went about her life step by step.
When she was in college, Tantai Buddha actually came back and was still teaching in the college she attended. At that time, Li Yingyue's heart became warm.
"I thought I was very obvious." Tantai Buddha said indifferently.
"But you are the same to everyone, I..." Li Yingyue suddenly stopped, no, there is one person who is still different.
Her face was ugly, and she chose to ignore the past, "And we knew each other when we were young..."
"I don't know you at all, and I don't remember you." Tantai Fo frowned, a little impatiently.
Li Yingyue shut up with embarrassment, Tantai Buddha was already an adult at that time, and she even said a few words, but she didn't get any response, now he said that he didn't know her, didn't it mean that he never took himself seriously.
"If that's what you want to say, then I'll go back, don't do any more useless things, I've transferred your file back." Tantai Buddha said indifferently and wanted to leave.
Li Yingyue suddenly felt powerless, she exchanged her hard work for the opportunity to stay with Tantai Buddha as an assistant, but now for some reason, after the experiment, Tantai Buddha returned her to her former teacher, even that teacher I secretly asked her if she offended Tantai Buddha, because even after the experiment is over, the transferred students can stay.
She has done a lot of things, either being ignored or ignored, that is a clear rejection, but Li Yingyue always has illusions in her heart.
She stopped Tantai Buddha, summoned up her courage and said, "I know your illness."
Tantai Fo's eyes darkened, but he didn't speak.
Li Yingyue continued, "You have a lack of emotion, no matter what you are indifferent to, and you are indifferent to feelings, but I will work hard, and I will..."
"I don't need you to work hard." The indifferent and emotionless words sounded.
Li Yingyue turned pale, and continued, "But you brought a gift today..."
"That's full of picks." Tantai Fo already had an impatient tone, "Don't get close to Xin Man again."
Li Yingyue's face was pale, as if she understood something, she twitched the corners of her mouth as if she wanted to laugh, "The first time I saw him that day, I felt that you treated him differently, and the last time I went there, he was able to go to your third floor, as expected. You are different..."
After chasing for so long, Li Yingyue inquired secretly and learned a lot, and naturally knew that no one was allowed to go up to the third floor of Tantai Buddha's house.
Tantaifo looked at her indifferently, turned and left.
Li Yingyue shouted from behind unwillingly, "Your illness will never recover, and one day your feelings for him will also fade away, and you will always be alone without anyone to accompany you."
Tantai Buddha's footsteps paused, but only for a moment, and then left.
Xin Man didn't take a bite of the cake left in his hand, he looked at it from time to time
This trip to the art exhibition can be said to be enjoyable, so that when meeting with Wei Yan and Shen Rui, Xin Man still had a happy smile on his face.
"Hey, how do you look?" Xin Man hugged Tantai Meng and greeted him. The little guy was tired, so he acted like a baby and let Xin Man hug him.
Wei Yan raised his eyebrows, "I won't talk about it, you seem to be very happy to visit."
Xin Man pursed his lips and smiled, his shy look made Wei Yan even more surprised, while Shen Rui's eyes were deep.
"Here, a gift for the children."
Wei Yan took out two spring bears. The bears were brown-gray. The springs connected the bears to the wooden sticks. They were easy to hold and cute to look at.
Tantai's eyes lit up, and Xin Man took it to him.
"Thank you uncle." Tantai Meng said softly.
Wei Yan rubbed his nose, how could Xin Man be an older brother, but become an uncle here?Well, he knew that Xin Man's face had reached a certain level of tenderness.
At this time, Shen Rui also came over. He had something for Xin Man, "It's a small gift specially made by the Academy of Fine Arts."
This gift is completely handmade, and there are not many things. Shen Rui only got one thanks to his teacher's relationship, and now it is given to Xin Man.
The gift was a bird’s nest, which was done by hand from construction to painting. It was complete and beautiful. Inside was a variety of forest animals with interesting and cute poses. Xin Man fell in love with it at first sight.
"Thank you, Shen Rui." Tantai Meng was carried by Tantai Buddha, and Xin Man took the gift.
Take it as an apology gift, Shen Rui thought.
I thought today was a lucky day, but Xin Man cried before leaving the gate of the Academy of Fine Arts. It should be said that it was the physiological saline that was forced out of pain.
A small cart of paint buckets brought in was knocked over. Xin Man was not the one who hit him, but the one who was unfortunately affected. The heavy paint bucket rolled down and hit his ankle, knocking him down. , Tantai Buddha hugged Xin Man from behind, and the little nephew was also frightened.
"It's all right, brother is all right." Xin Man endured the pain and tried to comfort his tearful little nephew.
"Wow, it's bleeding." The little nephew cried out, pointing at Xin Man's ankle.
The people who hit the car apologized, the people pushing the car apologized, and they were still picking up the fallen paint buckets.
Xin Man was busy comforting his little nephew, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."
It really didn't hurt. Although it was bleeding, it was just a small wound. Fortunately, the paint bucket was small. Although the edge was a little sharp, it was only scratched and a small cut was made.
"Stand up and have a look." The little nephew had been put on the ground a long time ago, and now he was pulling on Tantaifo's pants to cry or not. Tantaifo supported Xin Man's arm and asked him to try to stand up and have a look.
"Hiss." When he stood up, Xin Man realized something was wrong, with a mournful face, his ankle was probably swollen again.
"There is a clinic nearby, go there and have a look." Shen Rui said.
So, after Xin Man finished taking the medicine and put on the Band-Aid, they went home separately. When they returned, Tantai Meng sat next to Xin Man, looking at Xin Man's ankle without blinking.
It was red and swollen, and it was obvious.
"It's okay, the medicine has been sprayed." Xin Man patted his little nephew's head.
Without saying a word, the little nephew hugged Xin Man's arm silently. After a while, as if he remembered something, he raised his head and looked at Xin Man.
"what happened?"
Xin Man lowered his head and approached suspiciously, Tantai Meng pursed his lips and kissed Xin Man's face with a smack, and said softly, "Kissing doesn't hurt anymore." That's how his mother comforted him.
Xin Man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled happily, and smacked his little nephew's face, making him laugh too. The two were playing happily in the back seat, and Tantai Buddha watched from the rearview mirror. , Slightly raised the corners of his lips.
When they got home, Tantai Yan was already waiting at the door, Xin Man jumped out of the car, Tantai Meng held him carefully, and didn't let go until he was in front of his father.
Tantai Yan took his son's hand, nodded to Xin Man, "I'm sorry for your trouble." I also knew that when they were together, Xin Man should take care of Tantai Mengdo.
"No trouble, Mengmeng is very cute." Xin Man was taken aback, and quickly waved his hands and said.
Tantai Yan also noticed that Xin Man's ankles were red and swollen, and it was inconvenient to stand at the moment, so he took Tantai Meng away without saying much.
Supported by Tantai Buddha, Xin Man jumped into the room.
"Phew." Sitting on the sofa, Xin Man breathed a sigh of relief. His ankle was really unlucky. After being swollen once, it swelled up again this time. That's right, it was the same ankle both times.
"There's paint on the arm."
At this time, Tantai Buddha came over and touched Xin Man's arm with his fingertips.
"Huh?" Xin Man swung his arm and looked, there were indeed several spots of paint splashed on it.
Not only on the arms, but also on the clothes on the back. At that time, a paint bucket was broken, and it should have splashed on the body at that time.
"Go take a bath." Tantai Buddha suggested.
Xin Man was about to nod, when Tantai Buddha said the next sentence naturally, "Do you want me to help?"
"Ahem." Xin Man choked on his own saliva, "No, no, I just have a swollen ankle." His hands were fine.
Tantai Buddha just pressed Xin Man's head, "Remember to spray medicine after washing."
"Yeah, yeah." Xin nodded with a warm face.
He thought he should have taken a perfect and quick shower, but today must not be his lucky day. When he came out, Xin Man accidentally exerted force on his ankle, and the red and swollen area immediately hurt, causing him to hold the things on the side As a result, the things on it crackled and fell.
"Full, what's wrong?"
And Tantai Buddha came in at this time, Xin Man thought, fortunately I have already put on my pajamas, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
"I accidentally knocked it down." Xin Man pointed at the things on the ground resentfully.
He bent down to pick it up, but his ankle started to hurt, and he couldn't squat down on one foot.
Tantai Buddha came over, "I'll come, Manman, you go out first."
"Okay." Xin Man scratched his cheek, went out and leaned against the door frame of the bathroom to watch, he felt that he was causing trouble to Teacher Tantai.
When Tantai Buddha turned around, he saw Xin Man blushing but frowning, "Does your ankle hurt?"
Xin Man nodded. When he put on his trousers just now, his ankle hit the ground lightly and it did hurt.
"Take you to spray the medicine." Tantai Buddha helped Xin Man into the room and found out the medicine.
The cold liquid medicine was sprayed on the wound, and Xin Man also inhaled softly.
Tantai Buddha put the lid on, but did not get up to leave, but looked up and said with a smile, "Do you want me to kiss you?"
Xin Man opened his eyes, suspecting that he was hallucinating.
But Tantai Buddha approached at the next moment, and a gentle kiss fell on Xin Man's face. When he left, his eyes became softer. Xin Man only heard him say, "Isn't it painless to kiss?"
Xin Man thought in a daze, isn't that what the little nephew said, and it was all grown-up nonsense... The little nephew believed it, how could you believe it, Mr. Tantai?
"I, I..." Xin Man felt that his head was smoking, and he didn't know what to say.
"Aren't you going to return one?" After a while, Tantai Buddha said with some disappointment.
"Back, back to what?" Xin Man asked stupidly, his head froze.
"No, it's nothing." Tantai Fo rubbed Xin Man's head, stood up and prepared to leave, "Take a good rest, Man Man."
After Tantai Buddha left, Xin Man sat by the bed for a while, then suddenly his eyes widened, realizing what Tantai Buddha said.
Kiss back?
Xin Man thought, because the little nephew kissed him, he returned it, so Teacher Tantai kissed him, and he also returned one?
"No way!" Xin Man covered his face and lay down on the bed, thinking that he must have lost his mind.
"Hmm... go to bed, and continue reading tomorrow." Xin Man muttered and climbed onto the bed, and covered himself with the quilt. However, after tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, he didn't feel sleepy, and his mind was full of Tantai Buddha's kiss just now.
"Probably the same as the little nephew, just want to comfort me." Finally, Xin Man consciously came up with a satisfactory answer, and then fell asleep.
"Does it still hurt?"
In the dream, he heard Tantai Buddha's deep voice, right next to him, the feeling of ear-to-eye contact, hair intertwined, and breath blending.
"It hurts." He heard himself reply in a low voice.
"Kiss...it doesn't hurt anymore." Approaching himself as if sighing, the words gradually disappeared in the lips that touched the two, eager and powerful, hotter than his heart.
Xin Man opened his eyes wide, and felt the heavy breathing of the person in front of him, so provocative, and the moist and hot touch from his lips made his scalp tingle, and his whole body seemed to be immersed in the breath of Tantai Buddha, making him feel People go limp all over.
Xin Man only felt that one of his legs was weak, and the feeling of weightlessness appeared, and he opened his eyes the next moment, and woke up.
He lay on the bed in a daze, and it took several seconds to distinguish between reality and dream, and then blushed and dripped blood, and ran into the bathroom...
Tantai Buddha took a sip of the white porridge made early in the morning, paused with his hand, and looked at Xin Man, "Manman...have you changed your taste?"
"what?"
Xin Man raised his head absent-mindedly, met Tantai Buddha's sight and immediately avoided it, "What, what changed?"
"White porridge." Tantai Fo put down the spoon with some doubts, "It's sweet."
"Sweet?"
Xin Man was taken aback, then took a bite, put down the spoon and said, "I put the sugar as salt..."
Stimulated by that dream, he was still in a trance in the morning, and Xin Man didn't know how to make this breakfast.
"There is also sweet porridge, Mr. Tantai, if you are not used to eating it, I..."
"It's okay, the sweet ones are delicious." Tantai Fo didn't care, and continued to eat.
Holding the spoon, Xin Man secretly looked at Tantai Buddha, watching his every move, his expression was indifferent, but his eyes were filled with joy and happiness. He hid all his emotions in his heart, and he could only see a little bit from his eyes.
After washing the dishes, Tantai Buddha was still standing in the living room. He was very self-disciplined. Even if he was resting at home, he would put on strict shirts and trousers. He probably felt the heat at this moment, and he was undoing them one by one slowly. Roll up the cuffs, followed by a few buttons on the neckline, revealing a little of the chest.
Xin Man looked intently, he wanted to move his eyes away, but couldn't, for some reason, Teacher Tantai's movements were so ordinary but so attractive.
"Many." Xin Man heard him say, "Will you go to the third floor to read with me?"
"...Okay." Xin Man nodded.
The third floor has large bright windows, surrounded by bookcases, and a soft sofa in front of it. The tranquility here is undisturbed, making people feel soothed.
The warm sunshine was shining, not dazzling and very comfortable. Xin Man sat on the sofa, stepped on the comfortable carpet, and read seriously with a book in his hand.
Time passed unknowingly, and Xin Man had already read most of the book, and this was one of the few times he was completely immersed in his studies and did not feel irritable yet.
"What to eat for lunch?"
Hearing Tantai Buddha ask him suddenly, Xin Man raised his head and thought for a while, "Would you like to eat pot stickers?"
Tantai Buddha had no objection and nodded.
Xin Man burst out laughing.
"What's wrong?" Tantai Buddha raised his eyes in doubt.
"It just occurred to me that when we were in college, the first thing we said after class was what to eat for lunch?" Xin Man was overjoyed, "And what to eat in the morning and what to eat in the evening." Probably these three sentences are the most common Said.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Tantaifo's mouth, "What did you often eat when you were in college?"
Xinman: "Many, the cafeteria in our university is very good. There are four floors in total, which are very large. Most of the first floor is for breakfast or snacks. The second floor is for noodles, rice or other things. We walk every time after class. It's all very fast, and I'm afraid I have to queue up in the cafeteria, but I remember that I like stir-fried vegetables the most in college, and there is a restaurant that is particularly good..."
After talking excitedly for a long time, Xin Man clutched his stomach, saying that he was hungry, got up and wanted to take Tantai Buddha's hand downstairs to cook.
"Teacher Tantai..."
Xin Man held his dry and warm hand. He had relaxed before, but now his hands were clasped together. Only then did Xin Man react, blushing and let go.
Tantai Buddha had already stood up, and after being let go, he just looked at Xin Man strangely, "Aren't you going down?"
"Go down." Xin Man nodded to calm himself down.
When a person's thoughts are confused, it's better to find something to do for himself. Xin Man thinks that cooking is quite calming. After all, if you think about it, you won't have lunch.
After eating, the two returned to the third floor. I don't know if it was because they were full, or the summer afternoon just made people drowsy. Xin Man only felt that the surroundings were warm and sleepiness gradually rose. Falling aside, he leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The thin white gauze curtains blocked the glare of the sun, but it didn't make the room dark. The warm light shone softly on Xin Man's face. The fine dust slowly fell, and the air became quiet.
Tantai Buddha had been sitting opposite Xin Man, reading with a book spread out on his lap. When Xin Man's book fell on the sofa beside him, he raised his head and slowly closed the book.
The person who slid down on the sofa closed his eyes and slept peacefully, with a slight blush on his face. Tantai Buddha knew that it was just because the sun was too warm.
After reading for an unknown amount of time, he gently put the book on the round table beside him, stood up and walked to Xin Man's side.
He stood at an angle that would not block the light at all, but the tall figure seemed oppressive. Even though he was asleep, Xin Man moved his arms subconsciously, but the next moment, Tantai Buddha leaned over and gently held his hand Hands, gradually squat down, and sit on the soft carpet.
Xin Man didn't move, only the sound of shallow breathing, sleeping very well.
Tantai Buddha rubbed Xin Man's palm, it was soft, and there was some dry flour on the tip of his ring finger, which was stained during cooking at noon. Tantai Buddha saw the corners of his lips curled up, and laughed silently, like this He also thinks Xin Man is cute.
Then, he looked up, and saw that Xinman's cheeks were rosy, and his lips were also red. When eating potstickers at noon, he poured vinegar and chili into the bowl. Although he couldn't eat too spicy, he put a lot of chili, bit by bit. with.
After shaking hands again, the person sitting on the carpet couldn't help leaning forward, and a soft kiss fell on his lips, hot and forbearing.
When Xin Man woke up in a daze, Tantai Buddha was still sitting on the sofa opposite, but he was already reading a different book.
"I, how long have I been asleep?" Xin blushed and scratched his hair, falling asleep on the sofa.
"Less than an hour." Tantai Buddha looked at the time and replied.
"Oh." Xin Man nodded in a daze. It turned out that it was only so little time. He thought he slept until evening, but when he looked at the sky outside, it really didn't change much.
A little thirsty after waking up, Xin Man unconsciously licked his lips. When he wanted to drink water, he found that there was no water in the glass. He wanted to go downstairs to pour water, but Tantai Buddha picked it up first, "I am go."
"Thank you, Teacher Tantai."
After Tantai Buddha left, Xin Man picked up the book on the sofa and read it for a while, only to find that Tantai Buddha hadn't come up yet, it took a long time, and it wouldn't take so long to pour water.
Xin put down the book in doubt and walked towards the stairs.
Before reaching the second floor, he heard the voice of Tantai Buddha and a female voice at the same time, so he stood on the stairs leading to the second floor and looked down.
"Teacher Tantai?" Xin Man said, and the two who were talking raised their heads together.
Looking up from the living room on the first floor, you can also see people. Xin Man found that the person who spoke was Li Yingyue, a student of Tantai Buddhist School, who had been here before.
The moment Li Yingyue saw Xin Man, there was still a smile on the corner of Li Yingyue's mouth, but when she saw where Xin Man was standing, her eyes widened slightly, her face became stiff, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was barely maintained.
Seeing her weird expression, Xin Man just scratched her face in puzzlement, but Li Yingyue adjusted herself and asked Xin Man with a smile, "Did you just come down from the third floor?"
Xin Man nodded naturally, he looked at the water cup in Tantai Buddha's hand, and licked his lips again, feeling very thirsty.
"You go out." Tantai Buddha said to Li Yingyue.
Li Yingyue knew what he meant by saying that he refused. She didn't want to give up, but she couldn't find a reason to continue. Suddenly she looked up at Xin Man on the stairs, "I've met you several times, but I still don't know your name." .”
Xin Man was debating whether to go down for a drink of water, but he was taken aback when he heard this. He didn't know Li Yingyue well, but when a girl asked his name, Xin Man would of course answer, "Xin Man."
Li Yingyue returned with a smile, and then said playfully, "Xin Man, my birthday is in a few days, and my home is in T City. Can I invite you and Professor Tantai to my birthday party?"
Xin Man didn't notice Tantai Buddha's expression turned cold, he thought, no wonder this girl appeared here, so he was going to invite Teacher Tantai, so he should just incidentally.
Xin Mangang wanted to refuse, but Li Yingyue seemed to see his thoughts, put her hands together hurriedly, and said please, "My birthday is during the summer vacation, and some of my classmates and friends have gone home. There are not many people invited, but I really want to be lively and lively." , can I ask you to go with Professor Tantai?"
It's not good to refuse now.
Xin Man scratched his cheek, and looked at Tantai Buddha uncertainly.
"You can decide for yourself." Tantai Buddha's voice was flat, unable to hear any opinions.
Xin Man felt sensitively that Teacher Tantai seemed a little unhappy...
Over there, Li Yingyue was still urging Xin Man, unfamiliar with her and still a girl, Xin Man couldn't refuse, so she nodded indiscriminately, thinking that she would give a gift when she thought it was time to leave.
"Thank you so much, Xin Man." Li Yingyue smiled, "Then you and Professor Tantai must come."
She turned her head to see Tantai Buddha's expression, but when she touched his indifferent eyes, she slowly withdrew her smile, said goodbye to Xin Man and left.
"Teacher Tantai... are you unhappy?"
When Tantai Buddha went upstairs with a water cup, he passed by Xin Man, who grabbed him and said.
But Tantai Buddha drew his hand away and approached Xin Man, holding a water glass in one hand, and stretched out the other hand over Xin Man's side, propping it on the handrail of the stairs.
Xin Man opened his eyes, this posture is equivalent to being surrounded by Mr. Tantai in his arms, but the water glass is close in front of him, and he is afraid of spilling the water if he moves.
"No." Tantai Foo paused, then added, "Nothing to you."
Xin Man grasped his meaning, "You are not unhappy with me, but you are unhappy with that Li Yingyue, are you?"
Tantai Buddha nodded, but Xin Man was even more puzzled.
"Why? At school... uh, she's disobedient, isn't she a good student?" Xin Man asked tentatively.
Tantai Buddha smiled, "This is not elementary school, but junior high school."
"Why is that?" Xin Man felt that he knew, "Is it... about her birthday party? Teacher Tantai, you don't want to go, but I agreed."
Tantai Buddha didn't say it clearly, but rubbed Xin Man's head, "This is your freedom, Man Man, but there are some things that even if you ignore them, you will still block your eyes without self-knowledge. I just want to solve them." one time."
Xin Man felt that his comprehension ability was reduced and he did not understand.
He tentatively asked, "...is it troublesome?"
"No trouble, let's go up." Tantai Buddha smiled and took Xin Man's hand to go upstairs.
Xin Man glanced sideways at Tantai Buddha, and found that he was laughing more and more during this time.
····································
This time, the redness and swelling on the ankle subsided quickly, and even the scratches had scabbed over. Xin Man wore jeans with ankles exposed, a pair of white shoes, and an ordinary T-shirt on his upper body.
"Is this okay to wear?"
Xin Man couldn't help asking Tantai Buddha that the invitation for Li Yingyue's birthday party had already been sent, and it was in a big hotel. Xin Man checked and found that the prices of the hotel were very expensive. He thought it was just a birthday party. You can have a meal in any restaurant.
Tantaifo was wearing a white shirt, black suit pants, tall and tall, and he was also wearing ordinary clothes, buttoning his cuffs, "It looks good."
Xin Man was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was praising himself, so he blushed and replied, "Teacher Tantai is prettier than me."
Even wearing a white shirt and black pants without any decorative pattern is very handsome.
"Thank you Manman." Tantai Buddha raised the corners of his lips again, his voice was low and sweet.
"No, you're welcome." Xin Man scratched his face.
When they arrived at the hotel, Li Yingyue was standing outside in a white dress. When she saw the two of them, she greeted them with a smile, "Xin Man, you are here."
"Well, happy birthday to you, this is a gift from Teacher Tantai and me."
Xin Man handed the two gift boxes to Li Yingyue. Teacher Tantai had no interest in choosing gifts, so Xin Man bought both gifts.
"Thank you."
Li Yingyue took it over with a smile, she glanced at Tantai Buddha casually, then looked down at the two gift boxes, both wrapped in delicate flower paper, without signature, "Which one is from you? Xin Man." Li Yingyue said asked naturally.
Both were given by him. Xin Man touched his nose and pointed to one casually.
Li Yingyue hugged both of them tightly, and brought Xin Man and Tantai Fo into the hotel.
She reserved a lobby, and there are already people there, most of them are the classmates Li Yingyue invited before, and some of her other friends, some students recognized Tantai Buddha, and when the two came in, they couldn't help looking here , some secretly, some aboveboard.
"It's really Professor Tantai, Li Yingyue was really invited."
"...I didn't expect Professor Tantai to come, Li Yingyue, she is not..."
"Shh, you care so much, but who is that person next to Professor Tantai?"
"I don't know, but it's also very beautiful..."
……
"Yingyue." At this time, a friend of Li Yingyue came over. She was not a student of T University, but she knew Tantai Buddha. She looked at Li Yingyue with a playful look, "Yo, I really invited you." The last sentence was in Neither Xin Man nor Tantai Fo heard what Li Yingyue said.
Li Yingyue smiled, and said instead, "I have to go to the door to pick up someone, please entertain me."
"Do not worry."
Li Yingyue left with peace of mind, but before that, she carried the gift from Xin Man to the small room in the inner room, where all her birthday presents were placed.
Li Yingyue took out the gift box in her left hand and put it aside casually, and put the gift box in her right hand in the most conspicuous place. Xin Man was referring to the gift box in her left hand just now.
After the release, she went out again.
The birthday cake that Li Yingyue ordered was a big three-tiered cake. On the top was a little figure in the shape of a princess with a crown. Xin Man belatedly discovered that Li Yingyue's family was probably very rich.
After making a wish, Li Yingyue distributed the cake to everyone, and when it came to Tantai Buddha, she suddenly smiled playfully, "I almost forgot, Teacher Tantai doesn't like sweets, so I'll keep this one .”
After speaking, people around laughed. Xin Man was holding a small plate of cake, and suddenly felt that the eyes of the people around him were so weird, as if they wanted to make a scene, but held back.
Tantai Buddha has been standing quietly beside Xin Man, with one hand in the pocket of his trousers, tall and straight, indifferent to everything here, Xin Man suddenly thought, even if Li Yingyue really handed the cake to Teacher Tantai In front of him, Teacher Tantai would not accept it either.
The crowd scattered around, Xin Man saw that Tantai Buddha hadn't eaten since he came here, so he couldn't help but said, "Teacher Tantai, do you want to have something to eat, there are sushi and salad over there. "
Tantai Buddha shook his head, "Not interested."
Xin Man thought about it, Teacher Tantai bought him some sweets last time, and the two of them ate together, it didn't look like he didn't like it, so Xin Man dug out a small spoonful of cake and handed it to Tantai Buddha's mouth, " Do you want to eat?"
He hadn't eaten the cake yet, so he gave Tantai Buddha the first bite.
Tantaifo looked at Xinman, and sure enough, he lowered his head and ate the cake. The cake was well made, and the cream was not greasy. Tantaifo didn't frown, and pulled Xinman to leave after eating.
"Xin Man, wait a minute." At this moment, Li Yingyue's voice came from behind.
Xin Man turned her head and found that her face was a little ugly, the cake paper plate she was holding was crumpled, and a little cream was rubbing on her hand.
Li Yingyue pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed, "I didn't expect Professor Tantai to want to eat cake too, how about me..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered that all the cakes had been distributed, and the cake in her hand... She still had self-knowledge, knowing that even if she gave it to her, Tantai Buddha would not take it.
"Ah, no need, Teacher Tantai and I can eat one." Xin Man thought it was Li Yingyue's self-talk just now, and now she is more embarrassed and regretful, so she hurriedly waved her hands.
Li Yingyue glanced at Xin Man, and suddenly asked, "Do you and Professor Tantai often eat dessert together?"
The action of feeding the cake looks familiar and dazzling.
Xin Man was stunned. He only bought dessert once. Although the quantity was a bit large, it was not too often. So he shook his head, "No."
As soon as Li Yingyue was relieved, Xin Man continued, "Teacher Tantai doesn't like desserts very much, he bought me a lot that time, and I was afraid that I couldn't finish it by myself, so I asked Teacher Tantai to eat with me... "
What Xin Man meant was that even as Li Yingyue said, Teacher Tantai doesn't like desserts, but a little bit can still be eaten.
But after he finished speaking, Li Yingyue's face turned ugly again.
Xin Man was stunned, he didn't know what was going on, he didn't have many female friends, the one he knew best was Xin Xin, but Xin Xin was his older sister, he really couldn't deal with a girl like Li Yingyue.
Li Yingyue smiled dryly, "I bought some desserts for Professor Tantai last time. The professor said he didn't like it, so he threw it away."
"Ah? Oh, that's it..." Xin Man smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.
Li Yingyue took a deep breath, and suddenly turned to Tantai Buddha, "Professor Tantai, can I talk to you? Just for a while." She spoke in a very low posture.
Xin Man didn't know why he turned his head, and met Tantai Buddha's eyes.
When Li Yingyue spoke again, Tantai Buddha turned and walked outside, Li Yingyue hurriedly followed, and put the cake in his hand on the corner of the table.
After the two went out, Li Yingyue's friend walked up to Xin Man and said worriedly, "I don't know if Yingyue's birthday wish will come true."
"What?" Xin Man turned his head in doubt.
"It's nothing." Li Yingyue's friend shook her head with a smile, and then asked Xin Man, "I heard that you live in Professor Tantai's house. Is he easy to get along with?"
"Well, Teacher Tantai is very kind." Xin Man nodded.
He will care about him, buy him red dates and walnuts to nourish his body, carry him on his back, accompany him home to visit his grandma, and patiently teach him to learn...
There are many, many, and Xin Man feels in a trance that Tantai Buddha's attitude towards him is tolerant and relaxed.
"So it's different at school and at home?" Li Yingyue's friend's eyes lit up, "I thought he was as cold and unkind at home as he was at school."
Xin Man opened his mouth, wanting to say that Teacher Tantai is not cold or unkind, he just...
What is he?
Xin Man was a little stunned, and suddenly found that after getting along for so long, Tantai Fo seemed to be only treating himself and his family, but whether it was his own family, or even Teacher Tantai's family, he always felt that there was something wrong with him. So alienated.
"do you know?"
At this time, Li Yingyue's friend said again, mysteriously, "I heard that Professor Tantai suffered from emotional deficiency disorder since he was a child, and he was very indifferent to everything, even to family affection. People with this disease can only Relying on a lot of care from my family since I was a child, and correcting bit by bit..."
Li Yingyue's friend wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Xin Man hastily, "No, it's impossible."
Facing Li Yingyue's friend's stupefaction, Xin Man pursed his lips and said, "Teacher Tantai is not like this now."
Li Yingyue's friend shrugged her shoulders indifferently, "That should be fine, but it's also good, the success rate of Yingyue's confession will be higher."
"What?" This time it was Xin Man's turn to be stunned, "Confession?"
"Yes."
"But, but they are a teacher-student relationship..." Xin Man said with difficulty.
Li Yingyue's friend looked at Xin Man with a strange expression, "What age is this? Besides, Yingyue was only temporarily transferred to help Professor Tantai do experiments. After this is completed, she will be transferred back, and she will graduate in half a year. What."
"Oh." Xin Man nodded blankly.
He thought, no wonder he always sees her at home, so...
And Li Yingyue followed Tantai Buddha to the outside, she pointed to a corner, "Let's go there."
Tantai Buddha had no objection and walked over.
Facing Tantai Buddha, Li Yingyue involuntarily became nervous, but now that the matter had come to an end, she mustered up the courage to speak out her feelings.
"Our two families know each other well. My father took me to your house when I was a child. I...I liked you very much at that time, Professor Tantai." Li Yingyue said with a red face.
At that time, Tantai Buddha had just grown up, and Li Yingyue fell in love with her at first sight, but at that time, Tantai Buddha was even more indifferent and alienated, and ignored her, and went abroad within a few days.
At that time, Li Yingyue only had superficial feelings, and naturally she would not do anything to pursue her abroad, she just thought about it for a few days, and then went about her life step by step.
When she was in college, Tantai Buddha actually came back and was still teaching in the college she attended. At that time, Li Yingyue's heart became warm.
"I thought I was very obvious." Tantai Buddha said indifferently.
"But you are the same to everyone, I..." Li Yingyue suddenly stopped, no, there is one person who is still different.
Her face was ugly, and she chose to ignore the past, "And we knew each other when we were young..."
"I don't know you at all, and I don't remember you." Tantai Fo frowned, a little impatiently.
Li Yingyue shut up with embarrassment, Tantai Buddha was already an adult at that time, and she even said a few words, but she didn't get any response, now he said that he didn't know her, didn't it mean that he never took himself seriously.
"If that's what you want to say, then I'll go back, don't do any more useless things, I've transferred your file back." Tantai Buddha said indifferently and wanted to leave.
Li Yingyue suddenly felt powerless, she exchanged her hard work for the opportunity to stay with Tantai Buddha as an assistant, but now for some reason, after the experiment, Tantai Buddha returned her to her former teacher, even that teacher I secretly asked her if she offended Tantai Buddha, because even after the experiment is over, the transferred students can stay.
She has done a lot of things, either being ignored or ignored, that is a clear rejection, but Li Yingyue always has illusions in her heart.
She stopped Tantai Buddha, summoned up her courage and said, "I know your illness."
Tantai Fo's eyes darkened, but he didn't speak.
Li Yingyue continued, "You have a lack of emotion, no matter what you are indifferent to, and you are indifferent to feelings, but I will work hard, and I will..."
"I don't need you to work hard." The indifferent and emotionless words sounded.
Li Yingyue turned pale, and continued, "But you brought a gift today..."
"That's full of picks." Tantai Fo already had an impatient tone, "Don't get close to Xin Man again."
Li Yingyue's face was pale, as if she understood something, she twitched the corners of her mouth as if she wanted to laugh, "The first time I saw him that day, I felt that you treated him differently, and the last time I went there, he was able to go to your third floor, as expected. You are different..."
After chasing for so long, Li Yingyue inquired secretly and learned a lot, and naturally knew that no one was allowed to go up to the third floor of Tantai Buddha's house.
Tantaifo looked at her indifferently, turned and left.
Li Yingyue shouted from behind unwillingly, "Your illness will never recover, and one day your feelings for him will also fade away, and you will always be alone without anyone to accompany you."
Tantai Buddha's footsteps paused, but only for a moment, and then left.
Xin Man didn't take a bite of the cake left in his hand, he looked at it from time to time
