Chapter 64: The Rebellious Period
Duan Weiyu was ten minutes earlier than the agreed class time today, and asked her to sit in the living room downstairs for a while, telling her that she couldn't go up because it wasn't time yet.
"Okay." Duan Weiyu was speechless, this family still attaches great importance to the concept of time, and it is not possible to work until the agreed time.
Wang Yu is not at home today, Duan Weiyu looks at the exquisite and tasteful decoration everywhere and knows that most of the decoration of this home is designed by the hostess, but speaking of this, she suddenly became a little curious, why didn't she see Shen Tangqiao's father? Even the few picture frames on the floor-to-ceiling decorative shelves did not see the male host.
Could it be that the child's rebellion and depression also have something to do with this? Duan Weiyu stared at the photo frame, calling her twice, she didn't hear it, and waved her hand in front of her a few times before Duan Weiyu suddenly came back to her senses: "Huh? What's wrong? ”
"Teacher Duan, what's wrong with you?" He asked with a concerned face.
"Oh...... It's okay, I just wanted to think of something...... Is it time? Then I'll go up. ”
"Okay, the young master is already waiting for you."
Duan Weiyu was a little surprised when she heard this, the little ghost who played hide and seek with her when they met for the first time yesterday can still take the initiative to wait for her at her desk today?
When she stepped into Shen Tangqiao's room, she found that the child was indeed wearing a white shirt and looking clean, sitting at the table playing with a gel pen waiting for her.
"Good afternoon, Xiao Shen, how are you doing today?" Duan Weiyu greeted him warmly.
Shen Tangqiao didn't expect Duan Weiyu to ask himself this in the first sentence he spoke, he thought that this tutor would definitely ask if he remembered yesterday's words and grammar first, so that he could say out loud that he didn't remember, and then look at her unhappy expression.
"Okay." Shen Tangqiao paused for a while and said.
"I'm very happy today, on the way here, I bought a strawberry snow tower from the dessert shop downstairs, which is limited to fifty a day, and brought you one."
Duan Weiyu took out two desserts from her bag and put them on the desk, the strawberry dessert sprinkled with a layer of powdered sugar and almond slices exuded an alluring aroma in the sunlight.
"Do you want to eat it first? Or do you want to learn first? ”
"Let's learn." Seeing Duan Weiyu asking this, Shen Tangqiao said without hesitation that she wanted to study, which was great, so that she could feel frustrated for a while.
Duan Weiyu felt a little surprised, this kid was quite well-behaved, so she took out her lesson plan and vocabulary book and handed it to Shen Tangqiao: "You review it first, and I'll test you in a few minutes." ”
After a while, Duan Weiyu casually asked a few simple words, and Shen Tangqiao shook his head and said that he didn't remember it.
"Why can't you even remember such a simple word as 'r', you did it on purpose, right?"
Shen Tangqiao didn't speak, he thought that she was finally angry and was about to change her face, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows began to carry some anger that should belong to this age.
"Don't you understand it? Then I'll tell you about it. Duan Weiyu marked all the words that Shen Tangqiao didn't remember with a triangle next to him and said.
"You see, not only does the word have the notion that 'crushed, crowded' sounds so bad, but it also means 'infatuated, eager,' and the leading sentence is 'r,' which means 'I was briefly and passionately infatuated with you.'" Isn't it very romantic to look at this word in this way, so that if you look at the annotation of its first word 'crushed', you can also understand it as 'crushed by a heavy liking', is it not that you can remember its multiple meanings at once? ”
The sun poured a large warm breath on Duan Weiyu's body without hesitation, and a strand of long inky black hair pinned behind her ear fell on the table in front of her chest with the movement of her head, Shen Tangqiao saw such a picture, he sat in the dark covered by the curtains, looked at Duan Weiyu who was not far from him, and spoke English with a patient and playful expression.
The characters who he thought would take him far away from home were not so annoying at the moment.
So he looked at Duan Weiyu's mouth shape and nodded.
"You're still smart!" Duan Weiyu nodded with satisfaction and began to tell him the next word.
Shen Tangqiao looked at the girl in front of him who worked hard part-time, six or seven years older than herself, right? It doesn't look like it at all, like a young man in his early twenties, full of expectations for life, how did this positive energy do it?
"Duan Weiyu." After Shen Tangqiao answered a few knowledge points of her own test, she suddenly called her name.
"Well, what's wrong Xiao Shen?"
"Why are you so short of money? I want to hear the real reason. ”
Duan Weiyu didn't expect him to be interested in this, and hesitated in her mind whether to tell the truth, she thought that Shen Tangqiao had finally shown a little sign of opening her heart today, so don't lie to him, even if this matter is a scar on herself.
"When I was about to graduate from college, I found that my dad was secretly gambling, and when the creditor came to the door, my dad had been arrested and put in prison, and the money on my bank card and my mother had already been quietly transferred away by my dad, and we had no money, so we could only take the house we lived in to pay off the debt, but then I still owed tens of millions, so I had to work hard to make money, so that my mother would have a stop life."
Duan Weiyu's tone was relaxed as if she was telling someone else's story, and after she finished speaking, she asked boastfully, "Am I very powerful?" ”
"What did you do in your house?"
Duan Weiyu didn't speak, just looked at Shen Tangqiao.
"It won't be...... It's the same as my family, right......? Shen Tangqiao was a little incredulous.
"It's a little ashamed to say, after all, when I lived in such a house, I thought it was already a matter of my previous life haha! But I used to be a rich second generation that everyone envied, but now I am a position that hates the rich like the broad masses of the people, so I feel a little more at ease. ”
“……”
Shen Tangqiao was a little speechless, he didn't expect Duan Weiyu's story to be so complicated, no wonder she played the violin so well, and she had also gone to Austria for further study.
"Do you hate your dad?"
"Doesn't it seem fake when I say I don't hate? I hate, but I hate it now. The reality is in front of you, if you want to live, you have to work hard to make money. ”
Originally, Shen Tangqiao still felt miserable and miserable because of his family's situation, but after listening to Duan Weiyu's story, he felt that he had nothing to be hypocritical about for a moment.
"When I wanted to go abroad to further my violin studies, my family was in the middle of it, and I was forced to pay back the money because of a messy contract my father had signed."
Talking about this, Duan Weiyu opened one of the strawberry snow tops, scooped a large piece with a spoon and stuffed it into his mouth: "Although I have to accept my fate now, I believe that the worse has happened, what could be worse than this?" ”
Looking at Duan Weiyu's bulging mouth, Shen Tangqiao actually smiled rarely.
"And no one is robbing you, what are you doing eating so fast?"
