3.

By the time he finished his math problems and was going to rest, it was already five or six o'clock. The sky was already slightly bright, and every house was lit up, and Ningxuan looked out of the window, and the city was brightly lit. The window glass was well insulated, so she stayed in the room and couldn't hear the outside. Ningxuan rested next door to Tuo Huai, which was still requested by Tuo Huai himself. At that time, the tone of his speech with himself in arranging a place to live was both a little commanding and a little pleading. He looked like he was afraid that Ningxuan would leave quietly. Ning Xuan thought that this should be regarded as a manifestation of a serious lack of love and care, probably because he was a lonely child living here, so he attached so much importance to himself.

In fact, Ningxuan can't sleep a little now. The mere fact that she recognized the bed was enough to explain why she had stayed up for so long, but she still didn't feel sleepy after lying down. What's more, so many things have happened today, which makes it difficult for her to calm down for a long time. Ningxuan didn't continue to look out the window, she turned over a little irritably, covering her head with the quilt, trying to force herself to fall asleep. However, she couldn't sleep at all, and she always remembered the smile of Tu Huai in her mind. The eyes that would sparkle in the dimness seemed to be engraved in her mind, and she could remember them as soon as she closed her eyes. Ning Xuan thought that it must be the most beautiful pair of eyes she has ever seen, which can really be described as a sea of stars. After thinking about it for a while, Ning Xuan felt that it was wrong, now it was bedtime, why did she want to be pregnant? Ningxuan quickly drove those thoughts about Tu Huai out of her brain, and then began to hypnotize herself to sleep for the second time.

Ning Xuan finally fell asleep, but before she could start dreaming, she was forcibly woken up by Qu Luyi. She got up with a drowsy head and walked out of the room while secretly scolding Qu Luyi. Yuan Huai and Qu Luyi were already waiting for her in the living room for lunch. Ning Xuan said "morning" thoughtlessly, and then sat down next to Yan Huai. She's not fully awake yet, and she looks dull and cute, but it's quite cute. Qu Luyi looked at it for a while before saying, "You are really good, you don't get up at noon." Ning Xuan heard Qu Luyi's deep voice and under-beaten tone, and her brain immediately sobered up. She rubbed her eyes and glared at him, "I didn't sleep all night yesterday, okay?" Qu Luyi said: "Then why can you get up, but you can't?" Ning Xuan said: "I admit that I am not as good as Huai. Qu Luyi said: "What value do you think your life has? Poor math, few advantages, never enough sleep, proper sleep. Ning Xuan shook his head in two: "That's better than a person like you who runs a train with a mouth." Qu Luyi: "......" If he can scold in front of Huai, he must go home and bring his Xinhua dictionary with him.

After arguing with Qu Luyi, the three of them began to eat. The food was very hearty and tasted good, Ning Xuan was busy fighting with the food, and she didn't have time to think about other things for the time being, so she and Qu Luyi finally stopped. Qu Luyi didn't take this meal as seriously as Ning Xuan, he came to the Fu family too much, he had already eaten too many of these meals, and he was immune to these tastes. He was talking to Huai. Talking about when Yao Huai was tutoring with Ning Xuan in mathematics, Qu Luyi couldn't help laughing, and the chopsticks in his hand were almost not steady: "Tut-tut, isn't Ningxuan here to be your tutor?" Why is this asking you to help with tutoring with her now? Ning Xuan's mouth was full of food, and she didn't have time to talk to him, so she could only glare at him fiercely. In contrast, he was very calm, and he took a slow sip of milk before saying, "You are not as good at math as me." Qu Luyi's face was blackened by Huai's words, and it took a long time before he said: "Then I'm not as bad as Ning Xuan, I still know how to do elementary school mathematics." He said, "Then you can only do elementary school math, which is nothing to be proud of." ”

I have to say that Tuo Huai's words are really in one step, and Qu Luyi was so intimidated by Tuo Huai that he had to change the topic. Ningxuan finally understood why Huan Huai swore to herself last night that he could promise not to let Qu Luyi laugh at her. Because Qu Luyi can't speak of Huai, the two of them are not at the same level at all. Tuo Huai fundamentally suppressed Qu Luyi, so that he couldn't find suitable words to refute. Seeing Qu Luyi's deflated appearance for the first time, Ningxuan was in a very happy mood, not to mention how cheerful this meal was. Qu Luyi was still sitting there confused, he couldn't understand why Qu Huai would suddenly scold him, and he didn't leave him a chance to refute.

Ning Xuan talked to Yan Huai at Fu's house again, and then left with Qu Luyi. When he left, he was obviously reluctant to let Ning Xuan go, and asked for the first time: "When will you come again?" Before Ning Xuan could answer, Qu Luyi shouted unbalancedly: "Okay, Tuo Huai, your partiality is too obvious, right?" Why don't you ask me every time I go? How long have you known Ningxuan? "It's so good to her. He looked at the white stuffed bear in Ning Xuan's hand again, with a wounded look on his face. This Xiong Ningxuan didn't plan to take it away, but Tuo Huai forced it into her. Yuan Huai didn't reply to Qu Luyi, he was waiting for Ning Xuan's answer. Ning Xuan said: "Tomorrow, I will come over tomorrow, and I will come once a day in the future, do you think this is okay?" Yuan Huai thought about it, and finally nodded hesitantly. Ning Xuan smiled sweetly at Yuan Huai, then changed her face like flipping through a book, looked at Qu Luyi with a different expression, and said, "Do you know why Qu Luyi didn't ask you when you would come again?" Because he knew from the first time he saw you that you must be a reli, and even if he didn't ask, you would definitely come back in the future, and it was the kind of uninvited. Ning Xuan's words successfully made the corners of Yu Huai's mouth hooked, but the two of them were busy arguing now, and no one noticed. Qu Luyi was speechless by Ning Xuan's words for a while, and after a long time, he said, "You are really, don't let go of any opportunity that can hurt me." Ning Xuan laughed: "The first strike is the strongest, you know this truth, right?" Besides, even if I let you go this time, can you promise to let me go in the future? Qu Luyi pretended to think seriously for a while, and then said matter-of-factly: "No." Ningxuan said, "Isn't that right?" I'm justified in self-defense. Qu Luyi: "Okay." "You win, and even the word "justifiable defense" is used.

Qu Luyi sent Ning Xuan home, and he also went into the house to sit for a while and said a lot to Qiao Yu. It was almost dark, and Qu Luyi left after eating. Ningxuan looked at his back as he left, and wanted to rush up and beat him. He can pretend, and he is not polite to talk to her, but when he talks to her father, he looks like a gentleman, I don't know, I think he is a quiet scholar. Of course, the idea of rushing up and beating him up can only be thought of in her head, her father has always liked Qu Luyi tightly, she doesn't dare to do it in front of her father. Besides, even if she really had a chance to beat him, she might not really be able to do it. In short, it boils down to not taking this idea seriously.

Qiao Yu lay on the bed and watched Ningxuan stunned for a while at the back of Qu Luyi leaving. He didn't know what Ning Xuan was thinking, but he simply thought that Ning Xuan must have taken a fancy to Qu Luyi's kid. Ningxuan has grown up, and she has also reached the age of the beginning of love, and it is normal to have someone she likes. It's good to like that kid, Qiao Yu sighed, after all, they are people who grew up together, and they know the roots. He is indeed good enough to be worthy of his family Xuanxuan.

When Ning Xuan came back to her senses and didn't look at Qu Luyi anymore, Qiao Yu spoke to her: "You rested at Lu Yi's house yesterday, didn't you cause trouble to others, right?" Ningxuan said, "How is it possible." Besides, she didn't rest at Qu Luyi's house. Of course, Qiao Yu can't know about this matter, otherwise how should he explain it to him at that time? Qiao Yu said: "I dare to let you stay in his house to rest because you two grew up together, Lu Yi is a good person and an upright person, and I can rest assured that you are in his house." Ningxuan said, "Okay? Dad, where do you see that others are good? Tell me, let me check it out next time. Qiao Yu glared at Ning Xuan: "You girl, you don't speak lightly." If others are bad, can I keep you awake at night? Ning Xuan said, "Anyway, I don't know what's good about him." She rolled her eyes at Qiao Yu, and then continued, "Dad, are you so relieved that I will stay at his house?" Qiao Yu asked rhetorically: "Why don't I worry?" Ning Xuan said, "Aren't you afraid that he will kidnap your daughter one day?" Qiao Yu said: "The legs are on you, and I can't stop you if you want to run." ”

Ning Xuan was obviously dissatisfied with Qiao Yu's answer, she gave Qiao Yu a roll of the eyes again, and then continued: "If I am abducted, who will give you a pension in the future?" Qiao Yu said: "I have a pension and can hire a nanny." "Qiao Yu was a university professor before he got sick, and he was quite famous in that school. Ningxuan said: "You want them to take care of you, I'm not at ease yet." Haven't you heard the news, that is, the nanny is greedy for money, taking care of the elderly and children is not concerned at all, and some even abuse those empty nesters. Qiao Yu's eyes widened: "You girl, clean nonsense." Ningxuan stuck out her tongue: "It was originally so." "She didn't talk nonsense, there was an old saying in ancient times, how to say it, you don't know your heart. Her father was kind, and she couldn't bear to watch him suffer. Qiao Yu has no way to take this daughter. Although she sometimes speaks out of tune, she genuinely cares about him and has always been very good to him.

Qiao Yu looked at her eyebrows and didn't speak for a while. In fact, as long as you look at it a little closely, it is not difficult to find that their father and daughter do not look like each other at all. The eyebrows, eyes, contours, and the whole physiognomy are not different at all. Someone told Ning Xuan before that he was not Ning Xuan's biological father, but Ning Xuan didn't believe it at all. Because Ningxuan knew that he had single-handedly brought her up, she also felt that there was nothing wrong with her daughter not looking like her father. Over time, even he himself felt that Ning Xuan was his biological daughter.

"Dad, Dad? What are you thinking? Ning Xuan looked at the middle-aged man who suddenly fell into deep thought, and she didn't know what he was thinking. She shouted several times before Qiao Yu came back to her senses, looked at her in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?" What are you calling me for? Ningxuan said: "I still want to ask what you are doing, I called you several times, and you ignored me once." Qiao Yu laughed heartily: "This person is old, so he loves to be in a daze." Ningxuan said: "You are only in your forties, where are you old?" Qiao Yu smiled and didn't speak, with an unfathomable expression on his face.

Ning Xuan looked at him, puffed out her cheeks like a child and shouted, "I'm not your student, don't give me this set." I haven't figured out your expression since the first time I saw it. Qiao Yu suddenly asked, "Do you know what reverse thinking is?" Ningxuan said, "What? Qiao Yu asked, "I'm your father, right?" Ningxuan said, "Are you talking nonsense? Qiao Yu said: "In ancient times, there was a saying that one day is a teacher and a father is lifelong?" Ningxuan asked, "And then?" Qiao Yu said: "According to reverse thinking, since I am your father, it can also mean that I am your teacher." Ning Xuan thought about it, as if there was really nothing wrong with what Qiao Yu said, and she couldn't find the words to refute it, so she nodded confusedly. Qiao Yu smiled, and then said: "There is another sentence, which says that parents are the first teachers of their children, right?" Ningxuan nodded again. Qiao Yu continued: "So, it can be inferred from this that you are my student. ”

After going around in such a big circle, it turned out that Qiao Yu was just trying to tell her this, and Ning Xuan suddenly pouted speechlessly. Seeing Qiao Yu stretch out her arms, she walked over and sat down behind him and rubbed his shoulders: "But you haven't taught me a lesson, have you?" Qiao Yu said: "Who said that class must be in the classroom?" I raised you, and the process itself is teaching you a lesson. Have you forgotten, when I was a child, who asked me to take her to the classroom as an auditor? Ning Xuan didn't know what to say, and thought for a while before continuing: "Since you are my teacher, why is my math so bad?" Qiao Yu said serious nonsense: "Who said you are bad at math?" Do you count addition and subtraction within a hundred? Can you memorize the ninety-nine multiplication table? Tell me, what's wrong? When Ning Xuan heard this, she was immediately happy. yes, that seems to make sense, why didn't she think of it?

is worthy of being a master of literature, Ning Xuan can't say Qiao Yu, so she can only give up this topic. Qiao Yu knew her unwillingness, and laughed again: "Don't you hear, am I showing you what it means to use your thinking flexibly?" Ning Xuan said: "I only found that your thinking is quick and your eloquence is excellent, I can't talk about you." Qiao Yu pretended to be serious: "You girl, don't praise me." Then he changed his tone and said, "Don't you notice that you talk to me more often, and more and more words that can be picked up later?" This is a sign that your mind is slowly becoming active. Ning Xuan didn't know Qiao Yu's intention to do this, but she thought of another aspect: "Haha, Dad, according to what you say, will my thinking be active in the future, and Qu Luyi will also have a day when I can't answer the words?" Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What, that kid Lu Yi bullied you?" Ning Xuan nodded aggrievedly, and then reacted, Qiao Yu couldn't see it, and spoke again: "Yes, don't you see it?" He's a terrible person. She didn't know how many times she had been dumbfounded by him. Qiao Yu said: "I think that kid is quite talkative." ”

When Ning Xuan heard this, she immediately became anxious: "Dad, how can you praise him?" Don't you know, when he didn't talk to you, that mouth was poisonous, and I guess none of those debaters were his opponents. Qiao Yu asked, "Is it so powerful?" Ningxuan said, "Of course." Why don't I record it for you the next time I talk to him? Qiao Yu said, "That's not necessary." Ningxuan said, "I'm your daughter, you have to believe what I say." Qiao Yu was noncommittal: "I see that your mouth is sometimes quite powerful." Ning Xuan said: "No matter how powerful you are, you can't catch up with half of Qu Luyi." "He's a master at making you cry every minute. Qiao Yu laughed and didn't take these words to heart. It is normal for children to fight and fight. Besides, they are still people who grew up together. Besides, if his daughter likes him, she will definitely think how he is. Whether it's good or bad, Qiao Yu thinks that this is a sign of liking but being embarrassed to speak.

Ningxuan didn't know what her father was thinking. It is estimated that if she knew, she might really fight with her father for 300 rounds in order to make it clear that she didn't like him, and she could sleep without her eyes for a few days.

The next day, Ning Xuan went to Fu's house to accompany Tuo Huai as promised. On the way, she met an old man who sold rock sugar gourds, so she sold several strings of sugar gourds and took them to Fu's house.

When he was still five years old, he went out once in the first grade, and after being found to have autism, he was locked up at home by Mr. Fu and never went out again. So when he saw the rock sugar gourd, it still felt quite fresh, and he couldn't put it down when he held it in his hand, but he just didn't want to stutter. Ning Xuan looked at him like this, and she couldn't figure out whether he liked to eat this or not, so she asked, "Yao Huai, do you like to eat rock sugar gourds?" He glanced up at her, then shook his head. Ningxuan said, "You don't like it? He continued to shake his head. Ningxuan asked, "Is that what you like?" He shook his head again. Ningxuan was confused: "So, do you like it or not?" After a while, he said, "I haven't seen it." ”

Ning Xuan was a little surprised, her eyes widened, and she looked at him a little incredulously: "You haven't even eaten rock sugar gourds?" Yuan Huai nodded, and finally ate one in Ning Xuan's stunned expression. A little smile gradually crept up on Huai's face, and Ning Xuan could see that he actually liked to eat this thing. He said, "It's delicious. "It's sweet. Ningxuan chuckled, "You haven't eaten the hawthorn flesh wrapped in sugar film." When you finish eating the whole rock sugar gourd, you will evaluate it? Yuan Huai nodded, speeding up the speed of eating the sugar gourd. Unable to wait for the sugar film to melt, he bit the entire flesh with his teeth. A trace of sourness suddenly wrapped around the tip of his tongue, and Tuan Huai was unprepared, and his mouth unconsciously inhaled a breath of cold air. Ning Xuan laughed again after seeing the change in Huai's expression: "How is it?" Isn't it a little sour? Do you still like rock sugar gourds? Tuo Huai has adapted to this taste, the whole flesh has been broken, the sugar film and hawthorn are mixed together, sweet and sour, he still likes this taste: "I like it." ”

Ning Xuan said: "So you're not afraid of sour? She said and divided two strings of sugar gourds to Yan Huai: "If you like it, eat more, of course, it's best not to eat it all at once, it's not good for your teeth." "I know that I brush my teeth every time I finish eating. Ningxuan shrugged, feeling that she was too worried. But she didn't continue to dwell on this matter, when she saw Aunt Qian coming out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit, she took the initiative to help, took the fruit in Aunt Qian's hand and put it on the table, and then took a sugar gourd and handed it to Aunt Qian: "Aunt Qian, do you eat sugar gourd?" Aunt Qian was obviously not interested in these things, she smiled and refused, "No need, I'm so old, I don't eat these things for a long time." You better keep it for Yu Huai, I think he likes to eat these things. Ning Xuan said: "There is still Huai, I bought a lot today, even with you and Qu Luyi's share, this thing will melt in a few days without release." So you should eat one and treat it as fresh. Aunt Qian took the string of sugar gourds.

When Tuan Huai was playing a brain teaser game with Ning Xuan, Qu Luyi's belated figure finally appeared in the Fu family villa. He should have run over, the sweat on his face had not been wiped off, and the hair on his forehead was obediently attached to his skin, but it didn't look obstructive at all, but it made his skin whiter, and he looked more and more like a cynical rich and noble boy. Where there was discord with his face were the two large black plastic bags he was carrying. Before Ning Xuan could ask him what was in the bag, Yuan Huai had already sat down at the table, put the two bags at his feet, and took the initiative to explain while opening them: "Yuan Huai, today my dad went to the beach to fish and caught a lot, and then he transferred a few big ones after he went home and asked me to send you a few, and let Aunt Qian stew soup to replenish your nutrition." He added, "My dad also asked me to send several messages to Uncle Joe, and I came from Uncle Joe." ”

He looked at the fish that were still swimming in the plastic bag and said nothing. On the contrary, Ning Xuan looked at the fish and became interested, but what she cared about was not what kind of fish it was, but: "Is this what you brought back with your bare hands?" Qu Luyi said: "Otherwise, I ran all the way with several large plastic bags, and the pedestrians were scared by me." "It is estimated that most of those people thought that he must be holding something unsightly in his hand, and there were people to grab it behind, so he ran so fast. Ning Xuan said: "After mentioning it for so long, won't your arm lose strength?" Qu Luyi said: "I am still confident in my physical fitness, just a few fish, it can't affect me." Ningxuan said, "You are indeed quite powerful." But I want to tell you one thing, you better be mentally prepared. Qu Luyi looked at her with a malicious smile, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, he suddenly became vigilant, leaned back, and tried to stay away from Ning Xuan: "If you have something to say, don't look at me with this expression." Ningxuan said, "Then I can say it." Qu Luyi, you and I have been neighbors for so many years, don't you know that my dad and I don't eat fish? Qu Luyi vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a stubble.

However, he was very excited to catch the fish at that time, and he only thought about showing off his achievements, and by the way, he gave them a few unnutritious ones, so he forgot about it. Qu Luyi's expression instantly became very bad, looking at Ning Xuan's gloating expression, he had the urge to beat her. But impulse is impulsive, and he still didn't do it, because he didn't think he was the devil. When Ning Xuan had laughed enough, Qu Luyi gritted his teeth and said, "Joe! Lemon! Day lily! Didn't I just run for nothing? At most, you won't laugh like this, right? Interesting? Ning Xuan said: "Of course it's interesting, it's not easy to see you make a fool of yourself, no matter how I say it, I can't easily miss this opportunity to laugh at you, you say yes." Qu Luyi said helplessly: "Then aren't you afraid of losing me?" Ningxuan said: "If you can be the one who goes, then it will not be my friend." Qu Luyi: "......" He was so depressed.

Ning Xuan laughed so hard that her stomach hurt so much that she couldn't stand it before she stopped, and pretended to be serious and said, "Later, you can go to my house again and take those fish away, otherwise I will release them." Qu Luyi said: "If you release it, release it, I don't want to waste my efforts again." "The consequence of bringing it home must have been that his father wanted him to eat the fish until he had eaten them all. He didn't want to live a life where he had to deal with fish all day. Ningxuan said, "Okay, then I'll deal with this matter when I go back later." ”

Seeing that Ning Xuan and Qu Luyi finished speaking, Yuan Huai then spoke: "Lu Yi, I've been tired of eating fish recently, so you better take these with you." Qu Luyi couldn't believe it: "What? What were you talking about? Can you say that again? The smile that Ning Xuan had finally suppressed came up again, and she tried very hard to hold back her laughter and help repeat her words. Qu Luyi instantly looked at the ceiling in a bit of despair. Look, look, what friends he has met, all of them have built their happiness on his pain. With him, he is busy working for half a day today? When he caught the fish at that time, he thought that Ning Xuan and Yuan Huai would be grateful to him after seeing the fish. Unexpectedly, reality and his imagination came to a reversal, which shows that what he thought was always just what he thought. There is a sentence that says, the imagination is very full, and the reality is very skinny.

Qu Luyi felt sorry for his physical strength for a while, and then left with the two plastic bags. Before walking out of the door, he didn't forget to look back at the two of them and said, "I have written down this account, don't expect me to be good to you in the future!" Someday I'm going to give you a taste of kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs. Ning Xuan didn't know if he was angry or not, in short, before she could say anything, Qu Luyi's figure had already disappeared.

Ning Xuan and Yu Huai glanced at each other, and then continued to play the game of brain teasers as if nothing had happened.
