Text 0120. School uniform stained with aunt's blood
To be honest, Lu Xiu really didn't show a surprised look because he felt that this place was in tatters, the reason why he was slightly surprised was because the corridor where Zhong Ting lived was very similar to the corridor of Lu Xiu's previous home, with white walls and potholes that looked dilapidated. But Lu Xiu could guess that the more the family lived in this kind of dilapidated corridor, the more warm and warm it was.
Where would Zhong Ting know what Lu Xiu was thinking, she saw Lu Xiu standing there and didn't speak, so she gently pushed him and said, "Why are you standing stupidly, let's go up quickly." ”
Only then did Lu Xiu raise his footsteps and walk upstairs.
This corridor is really narrow, it can only accommodate one adult to walk, and it definitely can't accommodate two adults side by side, if it is changed to a body shape like Wanqian, Lu Xiu even feels that he can't walk an inch, Zhong Ting walks in front, and Lu Xiu follows behind her.
Zhong Ting's warm pants looked like stockings, and she was also wearing a small skirt, Lu Xiu accidentally looked up and saw something that shouldn't be seen, and suddenly felt a pang in his heart.
Soon, the two of them had already come to the third floor, Zhong Ting's house was in room 302, near the room on the right.
The door is not the kind of security door that is very common now, but the kind that is relatively old-fashioned and gradually phased out, and the kind that looks like a wooden door, with a couplet posted on the door: Home and everything is prosperous, auspicious for thousands of years. Half of the horizontal batch has already fallen, so I can't read the four words on it clearly.
"Wait a minute. ”
Zhong Ting opened her bag a little embarrassed and began to rummage for the key, I don't know if it was because Lu Xiu was about to go to her house, so she always felt that she was in a panic, how could she be so careless and wait until she went upstairs to remember to rummage for the key? Not to mention that she put a lot of messy things in the bag, and she usually has been in class 2 and has no time to tidy up, so it is so embarrassing to find a key now.
Lu Xiu couldn't help but say when he saw her hurrying: "You look for it slowly, and no one is urging you behind." ”
It took a full minute or two for Zhong Ting to finally find her house key from a knotted ball of headphone cables.
"Finally..."
Zhong Ting breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the key was lost.
When Lu Xiu opened the door, he suddenly revealed the true face behind the door.
The layout of Zhong Ting's house is very simple, it belongs to the house type that can be seen through at a glance - the kitchen is the kitchen when you enter the door, the kitchen partition wall is the bathroom, it used to be the living room, and the living room is filled with household appliances and other things, and then there is a curtain inside, and behind the curtain is the bedroom, of course, Zhong Ting has her own room, her room is on the opposite side of the kitchen, it is a more narrow space, it looks less than ten square meters, and there is only a desk and bed inside.
Zhong Ting didn't dare to look at Lu Xiu's gaze at her house, stuck out her tongue and said, "It's broken, it should be enough to help you with your tuition, it's a big deal, we're in the living room, the living room will be bigger, you... That's it. ”
Lu Xiu smiled: "I actually think that the room is small and not bad, and it is very convenient to go to the toilet." ”
Zhong Ting glanced at him and pouted, "Don't laugh at me." ”
"Do you want to take a break first, if you go straight to tuition now, maybe you won't be able to see it. Zhong Ting proposed.
Lu Xiu's eyes lit up: "Good idea." ”
Hearing Lu Xiu say this, and the way his eyes lit up as soon as he heard that he was going to rest for a while, Zhong Ting couldn't help but urge: "But don't think about being lazy, I will call you when I feel that the time is almost up in a while." ”
"Okay, Mr. Zhong, I understand, I must study hard every day. Lu Xiu pouted and said. He found that Zhong Ting is actually quite suitable to be a teacher, whether from a temperamental point of view or from another point of view, if she really becomes a teacher in the future, she will definitely be very good and gentle to students.
Zhong Ting saw Lu Xiu's strange expression, and suddenly couldn't help laughing. "I found your mouth really poor!"
"Really, do I have a flat mouth?"
Lu Xiu touched his mouth, and his action made Zhong Ting giggle again. "I mean you're poor! Poor is poor, not flat!"
Zhong Ting went to the refrigerator to look for it, and found that there was nothing else in the refrigerator except for a few cans of drinks, Zhong Ting's mouth was pouting, a little tangled. After she said something to Lu Xiu, she ran downstairs.
"Lu Xiu, you wait for me for a while, I'll go out. ”
Lu Xiu didn't have time to speak, Zhong Ting had already run down, leaving only a beautiful back. Soon, Lu Xiu knew what this Nizi was doing, and it turned out that she had deliberately gone down to buy some fruits, including apple dragon fruit or something.
"Whew. ”
Zhong Ting let out a sigh of relief: "There is no fruit at home, Lu Xiu, do you eat apples? Well, there is also dragon fruit." ”
Lu Xiu looked at her in surprise and said, "Are you... I went out to buy fruit for me?"
"That's right. ”
Lu Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Don't be so troublesome next time, I'm here to tutor, not to eat and drink." ”
Zhong Ting smiled and said, "It's okay, I want to eat it myself." ”
Zhong Ting said and went into the kitchen to wash the apples, and while washing the apples, she said: "My favorite food since I was a child is apples, and my parents have told me since I was a child that eating more apples will make me smarter." ”
I laughed quietly when I said it, and then said: "I really believed it at the time, am I so stupid." I still remember when I was a child, my father used to peel apples for me, one every two days, and the skin of the apple he peeled would not break, so amazing, I admired him very much. But, but when I grew up, he didn't cut me much. ”
Lu Xiu sat on the sofa in the living room and listened with relish, laughing from time to time. He found that Zhong Ting was as pure as her face looked, as pure as a blank piece of paper, and had not yet been colored by the big dye vat of the social environment, and because of this, she had a magic that people couldn't help but want to care for. If he could, Lu Xiu even thought that she would always be like this.
Zhong Ting washed the apples very carefully, cleaned the upper and lower two recessed places with edible dish soap, and after washing one, she picked up the other one and started cleaning, and then said: "Actually, I feel that the peeled apples are more delicious, because there is no skin, although I can also peel them, but I am very lazy, so just..."
Speaking of this, Zhong Ting stuck out her tongue.
"So you must miss the time when your father used to peel apples for you, right?" Lu Xiu asked with a smile.
"Of course. Zhong Ting turned her head to look at Lu Xiudao.
She found that Lu Xiu had already stood up from the sofa, and she suddenly wondered: "Lu Xiu, you can just sit down, I'll wash it and bring it to you." ”
As she spoke, Lu Xiu had already come from the living room to the kitchen. The kitchen was just that the size, and as soon as Lu Xiu came in, the space suddenly shrank sharply, and Zhong Ting only felt that there seemed to be an extra temperature behind her, which made her a little nervous.
Just when she was nervous, she found that the apple in her hand had reached Lu Xiu's hand, and she was slightly stunned, not knowing when she handed it to him. Lu Xiu's voice also came into her ears from behind: "Is there a knife, or I'll be a father today." ”
"Huh?"
Zhong Ting obviously didn't react.
Lu Xiu was helpless, so he could only repeat again: "I asked, is there a knife here?" ”
After all, this is Zhong Ting's house, Lu Xiu simply scanned the kitchen, but found no trace of the fruit knife, so he had to ask.
"Oh, there is!"
Although she doubted how Lu Xiu would think about cutting apples with a fruit knife, and had some doubts in her heart about whether Lu Xiu could really peel apples, she still subconsciously pointed to a place in the kitchen, where a small knife was lying, and this small knife was used to cut apples at home.
"You go out, the kitchen is a bit narrow. Lu Xiu said.
"Oh..."
Lu Xiu's voice seemed to have a kind of magic, which made her go out obediently for some reason.
Although Zhong Ting went out, her eyes never left Lu Xiu, and the distance between the living room and the kitchen was only so short, so she could clearly see Lu Xiu's movements.
Lu Xiu used his actions to show that he not only knew how to peel apples, but also was a master of apple peeling.
He first cleaned his hands, with a beautiful curve at the corner of his mouth, grasping the apple with one hand, and holding the knife elegantly with the other, squatting down, in front of the trash can, facing Zhong Ting. The knife slowly rested on Apple's body, and the other hand slowly turned the Apple up.
The knife was sharp, and the peel began to peel slowly away from the apple, like a woman who had taken off her coat, revealing the white and delicate flesh inside.
Zhong Ting was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
Lu Xiu him, he really knows how to peel apples?
She wasn't surprised by the simple peeling of an apple, because she could do it herself if she simply peeled an apple without skin, but the apple she peeled must be pitted!
On the other hand, Lu Xiu!
The peel of the apple continued to be connected into a ribbon and fell obediently into the trash can, but the apple in his hand still looked very round, as if it had been cut out by a machine. During the whole process, Lu Xiu's breath was very steady, with a faint smile, and the movements in his hands did not have any sluggishness or dragging. It looks ---- even somewhat elegant.
Zhong Ting didn't know what to say anymore, she just watched Lu Xiu peel two apples in a daze, and handed one to herself with a smile.
"What's the matter, is it because I'm not your father, so you don't accept the apples I peeled for you?"
"I... It's not!"
Zhong Ting finally came back to her senses and took the apple from Lu Xiu's hand.
As she saw, the surface of the apple was smooth, and the cutting marks were neat, which was really different from the machine, but what was wrong was that Zhong Ting was obviously watching Lu Xiu's hand cutting just now.
It's amazing!
This is Zhong Ting's inner thoughts.
"Lu Xiu, no matter how you peel an apple, you won't break the skin. After a long time, Zhong Ting finally asked the question in her heart. "I think you're better than my dad. ”
Lu Xiu couldn't help laughing: "What's so difficult about this, it's okay to cut it a few more times, or it's okay---- you call me Dad, and I'll help you peel apples in the future, how about it?"
Zhong Tingqing said: "You hate it, you want to take advantage of me, so a fool calls you dad!"
"Ah, I see something on your teeth. Lu Xiu suddenly said seriously.
Zhong Ting hurriedly closed her mouth and said crampedly, "Really?"
"Tell me. ”
Zhong Ting said "ah".
Lu Xiu immediately reached out and nudged her chin without hesitation, and then the clear word "Dad" came out of Zhong Ting's mouth.
"Huh. Lu Xiu laughed and hurriedly responded.
Realizing that she was rectified by Lu Xiu, Zhong Ting was suddenly embarrassed and wanted to fight.
"Lu-Xiu!"
Thinking that he was still talking about being a fool to call him dad just now, but now he was rectified by Lu Xiu, Zhong Ting suddenly felt embarrassed, and couldn't help but push Lu Xiu's arm. The latter stumbled directly and pretended to wrestle, which scared Zhong Ting a lot. "Ah, Lu Xiu, be careful. ”
Lu Xiu is very tall, and the space at home is relatively small, Zhong Ting is really afraid that he will hit the ceiling of the kitchen if he stumbles.
Lu Xiu couldn't bear to make a joke about this kind and simple Zhong Ting, signaled that he was fine, and at the same time pointed to the apple and said, "Don't you eat it yet, it's rusty for a while." ”
"That's right. ”
Gently biting the apple, the sweet and sour juice suddenly burst out in the mouth, and the crisp flesh continuously released sweet molecules after chewing, making Zhong Ting's smiling face release a satisfied smile, and at the same time, the small mouth let out "Well, so sweet." "A bang.
It seems that she had good luck today, and the apples she picked were all very sweet.
"Looks like you're really into apples. ”
"Of course. ”
Zhong Ting held the apple and chewed it carefully, looking at the posture, her apple would definitely be able to eat for a long time. Lu Xiu wished that she would eat more slowly, so that the tutoring would be later. Compared with Zhong Ting tutoring him, Lu Xiu was still more willing to chat with her.
***************************************************************************************************************
The happy hour is always so short, and in ten minutes, both of them have already disposed of the apple in their hands and thrown it into the trash can to wash their hands.
"Lu Xiu, it's almost time, don't think I don't know if you want to be lazy for a while, but it's not too late to play if we finish tutoring quickly." Zhong Ting said solemnly to Lu Xiu, who was fiddling with the bamboo gag in her house in the living room.
"Okay. ”
Lu Xiu knew that there was no reason not to tutor at this time, so he had no choice but to nod.
"Alright, then let's tutor in the living room. Zhong Ting said.
As she spoke, she had already pulled out her math textbook. and signaled Lu Xiu to hurry up and take it out, as the so-called one who gets math wins the world, look at the meaning of this Nizi, it is just thinking of starting with mathematics to help Lu Xiu practice.
However, the two soon realized that there was a downside to tutoring in the living room. That is, the light in the living room is too dim, which is also a bad part of Zhong Ting's house, this place faces the back, the sun can't shine in, and the light is insufficient, especially the living room is relatively large, and the light is very dark.
"What if it's too dark. ”
Zhong Ting had just written and was about to explain a topic to Lu Xiu, but she found that her eyes were a little uncomfortable, after all, the environment was too dim.
Lu Xiu spread his hands: "Don't look at me, I don't know what to do, this is your family's ---- otherwise, let's tutor another day, and forget it today?"
Zhong Ting immediately rolled her eyes after hearing his words, and knew that asking Lu Xiu was also asking in vain, and the latter had to think about tutoring, didn't she fall into his arms by asking like this?
**********************************************************************************************************************
Three minutes later.
Battlefield deviation.
Zhong Ting finally took Lu Xiu to her room.
Her room was across the kitchen from her, so she didn't have to think it was going to be a small space. Before, because the door had been hidden, Lu Xiu couldn't see what it looked like inside, but now that Zhong Ting took him to her room, Lu Xiu knew what narrowness was!
Zhong Ting's room almost only has a bed and a desk, and the ceiling above it is also relatively low, like a kitchen, Lu Xiu casually stretches out a hand and jumps a little to the extent that he can touch the ceiling.
"You're usually... Are you just sleeping here, it's so small!" Lu Xiu couldn't help but exclaim.
Zhong Ting stuck out her tongue, but she didn't think there was anything about it, she said, "Actually, it's good to get used to it." ”
Lu Xiu looked up at the ceiling fan again, this ceiling fan, isn't Zhong Ting afraid that if she stands up on the bed, she will clip her head? If you open the biggest block, will you clip half of your face and head down Lu Xiu couldn't help but think with some chills. Fortunately, it's almost winter now, so there is no need to turn on the ceiling fan. As for air conditioning, there is no air conditioning in this room at all!
"Lu Xiu, there are no extra chairs, you can just sit on my bed, fortunately, my desk is big enough to accommodate the two of us. Zhong Ting said with a smile, while putting her math textbook and other things on the desk.
At this moment, Zhong Ting's eyes froze.
She noticed that Lu Xiu was staring at the school uniform on the desk at this time.
This school uniform!
Oh my God, isn't this the school uniform that Lu Xiu lent her! The school uniform is still stained with her aunt's blood that hasn't been cleaned up yet!
Oops!
Zhong Ting's face turned pale in an instant.
She actually forgot to put away her school uniform today when Lu Xiu was about to come to her house!
