The water was rattling, and there was no residual foam left in the laundry in the basin.

Ning Xin closed her eyes and took a heavy breath.

She opened her eyes again, turned off the faucet, and turned her head sideways to Lao Liao Pi without smiling: "Do you want to hug me?" ”

Lao Liao was flattered, and his obscene facial muscles began to shake uncontrollably because of excitement.

He didn't pay attention at all, Ning Xin raised his hand and grabbed a strip of cloth on the sink and wrapped it around his hand.

He just wanted to hug it right away, right here.

He raised his hands and threw himself forward.

Ning Xin flashed sideways, bowed her waist slightly, and directly greeted Lao Liao's liver position with her right fist.

Lao Liao fell to the ground instantly, speechless in pain, covering his side waist and rolling left and right.

Ning Xin took apart the strips of cloth in her hand one by one, stepped forward, and squatted: "You know that I am short of money, I know that I am a college student, and I know that there are no adults in my family, so do you know my college major?" ”

Lao Liao was out of breath in pain.

Ning Xin stared at him coldly, and his tone was slight: "Unfortunately, boxer, it's easy to solve you." ”

She threw the wet strip of cloth at him and stood up: "This punch is a bit heavier for you, but it is also what you deserve for harassing me for two years." ”

After speaking, Ning Xin planned to twist the clothes in the basin with water.

But she noticed that the person not far away, his body stiffened, and he slowly turned his head to the right.

He Dongfan stood there with his sleeves rolled, as if he had lost his soul.

Ning Xin blinked, glanced at Lao Liao on the ground, and then at He Dongfan.

Her lips moved, but she didn't speak.

He Dongfan had already come back to his senses, strode closer, pointed at the people on the ground, and was furious: "He has been harassing you for two years?!!! ”

Ning Xin didn't answer immediately.

He Dongfan was upset for her: "Just a punch?" ”

Ning Xin glanced at Lao Liao and explained that this punch was not simple: "This position, five points of strength, is enough for him to hurt." ”

The rolling old Liao's body stiffened, five points? Just five points? He felt his internal organs shift.

Without waiting for He Dongfan to speak again, Ning Xin turned around and wrung the clothes into the water, and her tone was flat as if she were talking homely: "Why are you here?" I'm going to help you ask the battery car after I'm done with my laundry. ”

"No need to ask." He Dongfan stared at Lao Liao on the ground fiercely, "I've already taken it back." ”

Ning Xin let out an 'oh': "Then did you come to me for something?" ”

"I—I have something to tell you."

Ning Xin glanced at He Dongfan suspiciously: "Okay, you wait for me." ”

Ning Xin put away the things and held the basin: "Let's go." ”

At this time, Lao Liao, who had relieved himself a little, half-sat up from the ground, his face was a little pale: "Stop!" You, you have to accompany me for medical expenses! ”

Ning Xin turned his head: "......"

Lao Liao pointed to his waist: "I'm going to the hospital for a checkup!" Money!! ”

He Dongfan let out an unhappy 'tsk', and just took a step forward, he was blocked by Ning Xin with a basin.

She walked forward, the basin resting on her waist: "How do you prove that I hit you?" ”

Old Liao bared his black teeth: "Don't admit it, right?" ”

Ning Xin looked at He Dongfan with an innocent face: "Did I beat him?" ”

He Dongfan raised his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulders, and was very cooperative: "No." ”

Lao Liao was so angry that his fingers trembled: "You! You know! You see what the police believe or not what he says!! ”

"Police, huh?" Ning Xin's tone was leisurely, "Then let's go to the police station to talk and see who can prove that I hit you, and who can prove that you have been harassing me." ”

Lao Liao has a bad character, and everyone who lives here knows about Ning Xin's verbal harassment.

Especially a few aunts, who can't get used to his behavior, usually scold him with a few words.

So it's really hard to say if you go to the police station.

Ning Xin knew that Lao Liao didn't have the courage to go to the police station, so she turned her head to look at He Dongfan with a basin: "Let's go." ”

The two ignored Lao Liao and walked forward.

He Dongfan didn't understand: "How can you be harassed by him for two years?" This kind of person should beat him up the first time he calls you Daddy! ”

Ning Xin glanced at He Dongfan speechlessly, and took over: "You think I don't want to beat him?" ”

“… So how do you endure two years before you do it? ”

"I'm not usually at home, only my mom is." She said in a weak tone, "What if he takes advantage of my absence to trouble my mother?" ”

He Dongfan thought about it, too.

Two seconds later, he asked, "So, your mother... And are you moving away? ”

Ning Xin shook her head: "In two days, my mother will be hospitalized, so she won't live here." ”

"What about you?"

"Of course I still live here."

He Dongfan looked around, and still felt that it was not good for her to live here: "Why don't you live in another place?" ”

"That's the plan." She said.

Speaking of which, He Dongfan didn't know what else to say.

When the two entered the house, Ning's mother was leaning against the wall in a daze, with words in her mouth, but she couldn't understand them.

Ning Xin twisted the clothes in the basin again and hung them on the hanger at the end of the bed, facing the little sun.

He Dongfan saw that she was busy and asked, "I texted you yesterday, did you receive it?" ”

"Well, you said you were home."

"Then why didn't you reply to me?"

“… I don't have any more to say. ”

"Okay." He Dongfan turned his face away, "I thought it was the wrong person." ”

Ning Xin licked her lips and diverted the topic: "He Dongfan, you just said that you have something to tell me, what is the matter?" ”

"Ahh He Dongfan turned around and propped his elbows on the table, "I want to say, do you want to help me make up for the class on Sunday?" ”

“？？？” Ning Xin was silent for a while.

It's not that she's unwilling, she's a thousand willing.

She just didn't understand.

He Dongfan turned his face away again and said to himself: "Aren't I worried that my grades are not up to standard and I will be forced to go back to my father?" ”

"Don't worry." Ning Xin walked to the door with the basin and splashed the remaining water out, "I'm sure you can." ”

"So, you're willing?"

"Of course I do."

He Dongfan pulled the corners of his mouth and took out the money from his bag: "By the way, I returned the money to you." ”

Ning Xin walked over and didn't understand: "Pay me back?" ”

"Well, didn't you invite me to instant noodles when I was at the Internet café? And more than once. ”

Ning Xin refused with a smile: "Those don't have to be returned, I work the night shift there, and the boss provides a meal of instant noodles, so I don't need money." ”

He frowned slightly: "Then I'll eat it, you won't have to eat." ”

"If you don't eat it, I can't eat it, we athletes are not allowed to eat those."

He Dongfan nodded and put the money directly on the table: "That day, you invited me to have breakfast outside." ”

Ning Xin picked up the money and handed it to He Dongfan: "I originally said that I would invite you to eat, you take it back." ”

He Dongfan didn't reach out to take it.

Ning Xin shook the money and urged: "Hurry up." ”

He Dongfan reached out and took the money back.

When Ning Xin sent He Dongfan away, she discussed with him that the make-up class time on Sunday would be adjusted to the morning, because she had a part-time job in the afternoon.

He Dongfan readily agreed.

He Dongfan didn't let Ning Xin send it far, he said that he knew the way, so he rode the little electric donkey and left.

Ning Xin returned home and cleaned up her things, and accidentally caught a glimpse of a stack of money on the table, pressed by a water glass.

Ning Xin counted it, and there were more than two hundred pieces.

It must have been left by He Dongfan.

She sighed and put the money in her bag, intending to return it to him next time.

It was also at this time that she realized that He Dongfan really wanted to make up the class on Sunday, or did he understand her plight and pity her, and be kind to her?

In the evening, Sheng Yu came to Ning Xin after work, and he brought four thousand yuan over and gave it all to Ning Xin.

Ning Xin was taught by him yesterday that he didn't distinguish between each other, so he didn't say anything and accepted the money.

By the way, I told him about He Dongfan's coming to me today, and I also said that He Dongfan seemed to be asking for more make-up classes out of kindness to himself.

Sheng Yu saw Ning Xin's entanglement and comforted her: "Xinxin, even if this matter is out of his kindness to you, you don't have a sense of indebtedness, you do your best to make up lessons for him and let him improve his grades, which is your reward." ”

Ning Xin's mood after a day of entanglement suddenly brightened.

She was so afraid of indebtedness that she unconsciously locked herself in a dead end.

Sheng Yu is right, what she has to do now is to help He Dongfan improve his performance.

On the tenth day of the first month, Ning Xin took a part-time leave to accompany her mother to the hospital.

That day, she ran up and down the hospital to go through various procedures, and in the evening, the attending doctor came to Ning Xin to explain the general treatment procedures and visiting rules, and asked her to sign.

Before Ning Xin put down the pen, she hesitated: "Can I only visit at most twice a week?" ”

Doctor: "It's the rule, all family members are the same, you don't have to worry." Mentally ill patients are not as complicated as other patients, and our management and care will be more complicated, and the family members should try to cooperate as much as possible. ”

Ning Xin nodded and signed, "I'm sorry for you." ”

Sheng Yu called Ning Xin when he got off work and learned that she was still in the hospital, so he went directly to the hospital after work.

Ning Xin just came out of the hospital and saw Sheng Yu running over from a distance.

She hugged him: "It's all done, my heart is empty." ”

Sheng Yu probably knew what she was feeling: "Auntie, let's pick her up together." ”

She nodded, "Okay." ”

She comforted herself in her heart, don't worry, her mother is being treated here, the environment is better than the shantytown, there is a nurse to take care of her 24 hours a day, she really doesn't have to worry.

But thinking like this, she still couldn't sleep at night.

Saturday morning is the hospital's designated visiting time.

That day, Ning Xin and Sheng Yu arrived at the hospital early in the morning.

Although Ning's mother still doesn't recognize people and talks nonsense, her spirit seems to have improved significantly.

Ning Xin was relieved.

At noon, Ning Xin and Sheng Yu simply finished lunch outside and separated.

Ning Xin is going to make up lessons for He Dongfan, and Sheng Yu is going back to write a thesis.

When Ning Xin arrived at the courtyard, the old lady was there.

It's only been two years since the last time we saw her, and her hair has completely turned into silver strands.

The old lady said a few words to Ning Xin, and then went back to the house to rest.

Ning Xin felt that such a thing as time was always particularly obvious in the elderly.

And for teenagers, there is no trace at all.

Compared with how Dongfan, Ning Xin looked at him as if he was a first acquaintance, a pheasant, fearless, and vibrant.

The cold air in the northern capital gradually faded, the sun began to shine, the branches of the trees sprouted, and the flowers began to bloom.

Ning's mother's condition is visibly getting better, Sheng Yu's thesis is only waiting to be defended, and her work has also been recognized by the company, Ning Xin really feels that 'everything is getting better'.

But she wasn't doing well today.

She came to make up for He Dongfan's lesson, and received an unsolved problem from him.

After reading the question, she pouted: "You do your homework first, and I'll solve this problem." ”

He Dongfan didn't say anything, and took out the homework book to do his homework.

As the saying goes, spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking.

Covered by the warm sun and the gentle breeze, He Dongfan quickly became sleepy.

He glanced at Ning Xin vigilantly, and saw that she was holding a piece of paper and making auxiliary pictures, so he quietly took a nap.

He held his temples with palms of his hands, covered his eyes with broad palms, closed his sleepy eyelids, and his heart squinted for two seconds... Just two seconds......

Suddenly, his head tilted and lost his center of gravity, and the feeling of falling made him realize that he was back conscious, and he immediately went to see Ning Xin vigilantly.

She's still doing that.

The sunlight refracted by the glass window imprinted on her cheeks, and her skin was white and delicate, and fine hairs could be clearly seen.

Her facial features are stretched, the tails of her eyes are slightly upturned, her eyelashes are curled like small brushes, the bridge of her nose is straight and moderate, and her lips are slightly plump.

It's a very indifferent, very cold look.

He Dongfan's head was still a little sleepy and drowsy.

His gaze fell downwards to her lips, and moved up and down an inch before finally resting on the tail of her eyes.

Unconsciously leaned closer.

He noticed that there was a small mole at the end of her right eye.

The corners of Ning Xin's mouth hooked, sketched twice on the paper, and suddenly turned his head sideways.

She looked at him, her eyes smiling into crescent moons: "The answer is root number three." ”

He Dongfan collided with her gaze, his whole body leaned back suddenly, his gaze moved up and down, and finally settled on the scratch paper: "Yes, yes?" ”

Ning Xin nodded, and moved the question book to He Dongfan's side: "Come here, I'll give you a detailed explanation of the solution ideas." ”

He Dongfan didn't move.

Ning Xin held the pen and redrew the auxiliary drawing.

After the painting, she saw that he was still sitting far away.

She twisted her eyebrows slightly, and tapped the desk with her pen cap: "He Dongfan, where did your soul go?" ”

He Dongfan moved a little closer.

She carefully and carefully explained the idea of the question to him.

But he quietly went out of his mind.

He tilted his head slightly, looking at her very close profile.

He thought she was a little pretty.
