How many times in a person's life can they really make up their minds?

For him, he originally planned to spend his past life so casually, but on that snowy winter night, he was changed by the stubbornness and determination shown by a girl.

…… Perhaps, it should be said that there are two.

In short, from that moment on, he made up his mind.

True.

He knew that when he walked out of that house with his luggage and came to San Francisco, a harbor city on the Pacific coast of the United States, with a purpose that only he knew, the ordinary and happy old days might be gone.

With ambition, the world slowly walks through the thorny path to ascend to the throne!

His ambitions are big and small, no matter what, for him who is short of time, everything has just begun.

When people are in a foreign country, the emotion of longing is always unavoidable.

Especially, when you have so many shadows in your heart.

Finishing school, working part-time, and planning their immature dreams with a group of like-minded friends...... The fast-paced and busy life has made a huge change compared to when he went abroad, but the busier he is, the more he longs for a breath of fresh air in the rushing water.

Mama Zheng is that breath of air.

Without his point of view, no one could have imagined how important this beautiful woman had been to him who had given him the care of his elders during these months.

A request for help with homework may be a simple excuse.

He understood what the thoughtful aunt was thinking, but he just smiled silently and readily agreed, and didn't say anything else.

Because there are so many things to hesitate about, because ...... He doesn't know if he's ready.

The spacious and airy living room on both sides is very well lit, and a large amount of light and soft sunlight spills in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and reflects a bit of dazzling luster on the neatly arranged beige sofa and clean and transparent glass tabletop.

The carpet made of wool is very comfortable to sit on, and a soft pillow is placed between your back and the base of the sofa, feeling the warmth of the sun bathing your body, and your heart has a feeling of laziness and relaxation for the first time in a long time.

"Okay, math, that's pretty much it, let's talk about ......."

It's just that the timing is not good.

The pencil in his hand paused on the scratch paper, and his explanation stopped.

Because the person who should be listening is not listening, then the person who speaks naturally has no need to continue.

Quietly staring at the petite figure sitting beside him with his hands in his face and hollow eyes, he blinked and hooked the corners of his mouth for no apparent reason.

"Smack-"

A domestic textbook was photographed in front of this girl lightly, just to attract her attention from the outside.

Immediately after, a clear male voice that was always gentle and unchanged came into her ears, as if there was a slight unknown smile.

"In South Korea, you will be criticized for being impolite for such behavior. ”

He spoke in pure Seoulese, not because he wanted to get close to her, but because of Mama Jeong's request.

It is said that the girl next to him will go back to South Korea to live next year - it may not be appropriate to use the word "go back", after all, he heard that the other party has lived with her family in the United States since she was a child, and she is an out-and-out American girl except for her skin color.

“…… You don't need OPPA to teach me these things. ”

was reminded by someone who was quite euphemistic, but Zheng Xiujing's face did not show any embarrassment, she put down her hands holding her cheeks without changing her face, and then casually flipped through the textbook that he put in front of her, her soft eyebrows suddenly frowned, and she turned her head to meet his gaze.

"I'm actually quite aware of the situation in China. But...... If I know what I know, why should I change myself because of what others think?"

With that, she pushed her textbook back in front of him.

His expression suddenly looked a little surprised and surprised, and he just stared intently at the beautiful little face in front of him that seemed to be even more cute and moving in the sunlight.

He was surprised in many ways, not only because she could say such a thing at her current age, but also because of the name she called herself in the words.

In South Korea, the term "OPPA" is so common that it has become the standard for girls of almost every age to refer to boys older than them, but he has never heard it from anyone since arriving in the United States.

When Zheng's mother was there before, she thought that the girl had to bow to herself because of her mother's strong aura, and her heart should be full of unhappiness.

Unexpectedly, even if the two of them are alone now, Zheng Xiujing still hasn't changed the name she called him.

Is it because you forgot?

How can it be.

For an American girl who is used to speaking ABC, the word "OPPA" should be quite awkward.

So...... Is it because of politeness?

Thinking of this, and then thinking of the sentence he had just educated her, as well as her various performances when he first met her, while he was looking at Zheng Xiujing, the strange mood in his heart couldn't help but become more and more intense, and in addition, it seemed that he had squeezed in a trace of interest.

Even if you are angry, is it only temporary?

Polite, or impolite, arrogant, or soft-tempered.

That's really ......

“…… It's an amazing character. ”

"What?"

He smiled slightly mysteriously and shook his head, "Nothing. ”

Zheng Xiujing frowned unconsciously, looked at him, and did not shy away from his gaze, and after thinking about it, he said, "To be honest, I don't like OPPA's sudden arrival today." ”

"Why? Is it because of my visit that you get a beating that you shouldn't have suffered?"

"When, then, no, yes!"

Tengdi blushed slightly, and Zheng Xiujing glared at him fiercely with some shame and pretending to be innocent.

A little girl at this age has long known how to be shy, not to mention that the incident mentioned by someone is too challenging for the girl's thin skin.

However, after showing a look of annoyance, Zheng Xiujing unexpectedly calmed down quickly, just pursed her lips, and said angrily: "I don't think my mother needs to ask OPPA to be my tutor!"

He spoke Korean, and Zheng Xiujing insisted on using English back after Zheng's mother left, which was originally a headache, but because of the childish and cute tone that a certain girl would bring from time to time when she spoke and bitten words, listening to her ears, people didn't have much willingness to correct it.

Well, isn't that "OPPA" a good call?

That's enough.

"But I heard from my aunt, Xiujing, your situation doesn't seem to be to the point where you don't need a tutor, right?"

He changed his sitting position, put down the pencil in his hand, and tilted his head to look at the girl in a more comfortable position, and there was no slightest impatience on his young and handsome face, more like a feeling of interest.

"But not to the point where I need a tutor!

Facing his slightly squinted eyes and silent suspicious looks, Zheng Xiujing puffed out her mouth, and then her eyes fell on the pencil he had placed on the table and the scratch paper that had been partially scribbled.

"In that case, I'll prove it to OPPA!"

After hearing this confident sentence, he was slightly stunned, and after a moment, a smile that appeared frequently today once again vaguely appeared on his lips.

No matter what I said just now, I was just going my own way, but now I'm learning inexplicably?

Looking at the girl in front of him, who had already picked up a pencil and was working on a few example questions he had written on scratch paper with high spirits, he silently added an item to the impression he had given her.

Well.

It's, a very cute, proud ...... Tsundere little girl!

……

"How's it going?I'll tell you that I'm studying well~~"

After spending just a few minutes, Zheng Xiujing shook the scratch paper with the answers to each question written in front of his eyes rather proudly.

The small black mole on the snow-white cheeks is more obvious by the slightly upturned lips, which is pleasing to the eye.

He glanced at the straw paper, well, it's all right, and he has a clearer understanding of this girl in his heart.

Because it is a question used as an example, I don't expect her to answer it, and the content of students in the United States should be different from that in South Korea, but I didn't expect Zheng Xiujing to be able to do it so quickly.

That wasn't enough to make him change his mind, though.

Seeing that he didn't speak, as if he understood his inner thoughts, Zheng Xiujing's small brows immediately twisted again, she didn't think about it, so she said very unceremoniously: "OPPA, no matter how much you please my mother, I can't agree to the matter of you staying at my house!"

He swept the girl's head when he heard this, and then, instead of being angry, he chuckled lightly and asked in a curious tone, "Don't you think that saying this will make the situation worse?"

"I'm just telling the truth! I hate to hide my true thoughts, so I don't want to lie to you unless I have to. ”

Zheng Xiujing's green little face showed a more serious expression, and she looked faintly indescribable.

"Why do you want to do useless things when you know the outcome? I hope OPPA doesn't have meaningless expectations. ”

This was said a little more heavily, but his face did not show the angry look that Zheng Xiujing expected, and he still looked at himself with a smile.

"It's because it's what I really want to do, so ...... Even if you know the outcome, you still have to do it, don't you?"

Softly said something that stunned the girl, he took the pencil and scratch paper in her hand with a smile on the corner of his mouth, turned it over, wrote and drew on it, and continued in his mouth: "You will go back to Korea next year, of course you are good at math, but now I don't seem to be very good at your Korean accent?"

"I—I'm not only good at math, I'm also good at science!"

"You don't speak good Korean. ”

“…… I'm also familiar with social science! I'm familiar with world history and everything!"

"You don't speak good Korean. ”

“…… That's all you have to say?"

"You don't speak good Korean. ”

"I, I...... Hey, I speak English very well!"

She was stunned by the strange gaze in his eyes, and then reacted instantly, understanding the meaning in his eyes, and couldn't help but lower her face in shame.

A look of crying and laughing flashed in his deep eyes.

He blinked and thought for a moment, finally focusing on an issue he hadn't paid attention to before.

"Speaking of which, why do you want to go back to South Korea next year? Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng ...... Aren't you going to stay in the United States?"

Zheng Xiujing glanced at him, lay on the table sickly, waited for a few seconds, and still muttered impatiently: "Didn't my mother tell you? I'm almost old, and it's time to go back to China to fulfill the contract with the company." ”

"Contract, what contract?"

"I'm going to work as a trainee in an entertainment company, and I'm going to make my debut as an artist. ”

Suddenly, Zheng Xiujing didn't see it, and after hearing his casual answer, his face was stunned, and his expression seemed to suddenly become deep......
