It was fast to late April.

On Saturday morning, Ning Xin went to the hospital to visit Ning's mother.

After two months of professional treatment, Ning's mother's condition has improved, and she has regained her basic self-care ability, but she still doesn't recognize people and talks nonsense.

In the afternoon, Ning Xin went to make up lessons for He Dongfan.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she was stopped by Aunt Qin, saying that He Dongfan's father was here and wanted to talk to her alone.

Aunt Qin took Ning Xin to the tea room.

He Dongfan's father didn't talk nonsense, and directly put out He Dongfan's midterm exam math test paper: "Teacher Ning, take a look." ”

Ning Xin picked up the roll.

With a perfect score of 150 points, He Dongfan scored 78 points.

Ning Xin still remembers that at the end of last semester, he scored 72 points in the math test.

The difference of six points is less than the score of two multiple-choice questions, and if you are lucky, you will not only improve by six points.

Obviously, He Dongfan's father was not satisfied with this.

Ning Xin flipped through He Dongfan's test papers, and she found that he made a lot of mistakes in the multiple-choice questions, but he got full marks in the first three major questions.

Looking at it this way, there is still progress.

He Dongfan's father suddenly spoke: "Teacher Ning, Xiao Fan was reluctant to go home at that time, I was in a hurry to find him, and you didn't accept the money you gave you, which means that you are an upright person." And Xiaofan's grades did improve by leaps and bounds with your help during the high school entrance examination. ”

Ning Xin put down the test paper and waited for his next words.

"That's why I agreed to let you be this tutor." He changed his words and raised his eyes to look at her, "But now that half a semester has passed, Xiaofan's grades can't be improved, so it seems that we can't do the original agreement to pass the passing line." ”

Ning Xin sensed his intentions and frowned slightly: "Are you planning to take him home?" ”

He Dongfan's father didn't hide it: "It's indeed this plan." ”

Ning Xin was a little anxious, and straightened her waist: "You can't do this." ”

"I have to do this!" He Dongfan's father's words were suffocating and could not be resisted, "Xiao Fan is about to end his sophomore year of high school, and I can't let him go on like this." ”

Ning Xin retorted reasonably: "But at that time, it was said that the passing line was passed at the end of the semester, and it was only half a semester." ”

He Dongfan's father put his fingers on the test paper a little heavier, reminding her of the facts: "Half a semester, this is the result of half a semester!" How many more semesters can he waste?! ”

Ning Xin was speechless when questioned.

He Dongfan's father slowed down his tone slightly: "You have a good relationship with Xiaofan, I can see it, but you are obviously not suitable to be his tutor anymore, you don't have this ability." ”

Ning Xin was slapped on the head.

She took a deep breath, bit her lip, and looked at him very firmly: "Mr. He, it's my problem, it's my own limited teaching level, you can change He Dongfan to a senior tutor." ”

He was direct: "I will." ”

Ning Xin was not cowardly: "However, this is not a reason for you not to keep your promises. ”

Regarding Ning Xin's direct rebuttal, He Dongfan's father was obviously surprised: "What did you say? ”

Ning Xin: "At that time, the time limit was one semester, and now that half a semester has passed, then He Dongfan will not be considered to have failed to complete the specified goal, if you force him to take him back now, it will be a broken promise." ”

“……”

Ning Xin clenched her fingers slightly, and her tone was aggravated: "As his father, you have expectations, expectations, and requirements for him, but what about yourself?" Shouldn't you yourself lead by example and keep the most basic promises to your children? ”

As soon as this question fell, the tea room was silent.

After a few seconds, there was a sarcastic laugh: "Huh-"

He Dongfan's father said in a straight tone: "This is my family matter, it's not your turn to speak!" ”

Ning Xin was tough: "But what you're doing is wrong!" I ...... as He Dongfan's teacher"

He Dongfan's father raised his hand to interrupt: "You have been fired." ”

In a word, completely deprive Ning Xin and He Dongfan of their contact.

That's the case, she no longer has any reason or position to say anything to him.

Ning Xin stood up with some temperament, bowed politely to him, turned around and took two steps, and paused.

She thought of getting along with He Dongfan in her head, and remembered his kindness and help to her.

She suddenly felt that she and He Dongfan were not only a teacher-student relationship, but also close to friends.

Then as a friend, she can't sit idly by.

Ning Xin didn't vomit or be unhappy, and turned around: "Mr. He, as a father, you gave him life, but this doesn't mean that you can control everything about him." You feel like you're expressing love, but your father's love doesn't even have basic care and understanding. You don't know why he doesn't want to go back with you, and you don't care why he doesn't, but the word 'unwilling' is wrong for you, right? ”

He Dongfan's father didn't want to listen to any preaching at all, and pointed to the door in an aggravated tone: "You can leave now." ”

"I'm not done yet." Ning Xin didn't flinch, "Mr. He, if freedom and explanation are rebellious and back-talking to you, then you will never be a good father." ”

"Smack-" He Dongfan's father was angry, slapped on the coffee table, the tea was shaken out and slipped down the eaves, he was angry, "You can leave." ”

At this moment, the half-covered door of the tea room was suddenly pushed open.

He Dongfan strode in, in the direction of Ning Xin.

He walked with the wind, grabbed her by the arm, and pulled her out.

Before she could react to anything, he shoved her and pushed her out of the tea room.

His lips pursed: "You go to the study and wait for me." ”

Then, the door to the tea room was slammed shut.

Ning Xin stood in front of the closed door for two seconds and walked towards the study.

Ning Xin went to the study and put down the schoolbag.

She stood by the window, and the three peach trees in the courtyard had already borne small fruits.

For about ten minutes, Ning Xin heard He Dongfan's footsteps.

She turned her head to stare at the door of the study.

As the footsteps approached, He Dongfan walked in, still holding a fruit bowl in his hand.

He looked natural, not angry at all.

As the episode just now never happened.

He approached, stretched out his hand to her to support the fruit plate, and slightly showed his tiger teeth to share with her: "Try it, Aunt Qin bought it early in the morning." ”

Ning Xin was in the mood to eat fruit, her face was worried: "What did you say to your father?" ”

"That's it." He put the fruit bowl on the desk, leaned against the desk slightly, and put the fruit into his mouth with a small fork. ”

"A hundred?" Why did you add 10 points to the chips?

He Dongfan lowered his eyes, picked up another piece of fruit and put it in his mouth, and looked at Ning Xin with a slight puff of cheeks: "Didn't you say, believe me?" ”

Ning Xin was choked.

She couldn't say that those were the teacher's encouraging words she learned, and she didn't have any sincerity.

She changed the subject: "Are you really willing, whatever he says is what he says?" ”

"I don't want to." He Dongfan took another piece of fruit in his mouth, and his dark eyes were very firm, "So Teacher Ning, next, it's up to you." ”

"Rely on me, rely on me?" Ning Xin was obviously shocked, feeling that a big mountain was thrown over by him. She frowned and thought for two seconds, reasoning with him, "You have to rely on yourself to learn." ”

Her cautious 'shirking responsibility' made He Dongfan laugh.

He nodded: "Okay, I work hard, you work hard, okay?" ”

Ning Xin felt a kind of pressure to be forced to go to Liangshan, and she could only close her eyes and nod.

The next moment, he shook his head again: "No, your father has already fired me just now." ”

He Dongfan threw the small fork into the fruit bowl and copied it by hand: "I heard everything, I heard everything you and my father." ”

“……”

"So just now I negotiated the conditions with him, and you continue to help me make up for the class, and I will get more than 100 points at the end of the semester." He raised an eyebrow slightly, "I trust you." ”

I believe you.

These four words carry too much weight.

He Dongfan chuckled lightly and raised his hand: "Happy cooperation." ”

Ning Xin looked at his raised palm, slowly raised his hand, and didn't slap it for several seconds.

I always feel that this shot is up, even if I bet on this 'gamble' with him that the odds of winning are not high.

It's not that she can't bear the pressure, and the faint retreat in her heart now is because of what He Dongfan's father said just now.

- You are obviously not fit to be his tutor anymore, you don't have the ability.

In terms of objective and fair self-examination, she is indeed inferior to professional and senior teachers.

If He Dongfan chooses himself because he gets along well with him, he will lose this 'gamble'......

Seeing that Ning Xin didn't move for a long time, He Dongfan held back a smile, and took advantage of her stunned to directly grab her wrist and slapped it on his palm.

He said happily: "Forge an alliance!" ”

Ning Xin's palm was slightly touched.

She withdrew her hand, picked at her palm, and reminded him: "He Dongfan, you can find an experienced tutor, your chances of winning are greater." ”

He Dongfan raised his eyebrows and sat down: "But I have confidence in you." ”

Ning Xin didn't quite understand where his confidence in himself came from, did he improve by six points in half a semester?

He Dongfan: "What you just said to my dad, no second teacher would do that." ”

He raised his eyes, and his dark eyes were bright: "You said I could, and I thought you could." ”

Ning Xin couldn't answer this.

He Dongfan looked at Ning Xin, frowned slowly, and even sat upright: "Teacher Ning, you say I can all day long, my ears can hear calluses, you won't just say it casually, right?" ”

“！！！” Ning Xin turned around abruptly, opened the zipper of her schoolbag to take the textbook, and denied it stiffly, "Of course not!" ”

He Dongfan turned his head sideways to look at her expression, and couldn't help but laugh.

After this, He Dongfan really cared.

In the past, Ning Xin assigned a little more practice questions, and he yelled that he couldn't finish them.

But now, he even buys his own practice book.

Even Aunt Qin told Ning Xin that He Dongfan was sensible, and he studied late in the study at night on weekdays, and only went back to sleep after calling a few times.

At the end of May, Ning Xin participated in a tournament and only won the bronze medal.

She obviously felt that her physical condition was not as good as before, and when Coach Xu talked to her, she honestly explained that she felt more powerful than before.

Since her mother was admitted to the hospital, all kinds of expenses have been pressed on her shoulders, and even the high salary for He Dongfan's tutoring is only a drop in the bucket.

She had to find a few more part-time jobs.

She is too busy, too tired, that is, she is just young.

But sports are too demanding on the body.

Coach Xu also felt sorry for her, but he couldn't change her situation: "Ning Xin, what are your plans for graduating next year?" ”

"I want to be a coach."

Coach Xu nodded and pointed to her cheek that was bruised by the game: "Pay more attention yourself, it's hot." ”

Ning Xin nodded: "I will." ”

Ning Xin is right cheek is abrasion, red and swollen, there are blood stains inside, and it looks quite serious when applied to the yellow potion.

On Saturday, Ning Xin went to visit the hospital.

As soon as she entered the ward, she obviously felt that her mother looked at her differently.

There is God, there is focus, there is emotion.

Ning Xin's heart beat faster with excitement, and she actually forgot to move forward.

Mother Ning slowly raised her hand and called her name very clearly: "Xinxin." ”

Ning Xin's eyes were hot at first, and then she ran over, grabbed her mother's hand, squeezed it gently, and then hugged her.

She was speechless, and first shed tears.

Mother Ning patted her on the back distressedly: "We are Xinxin, why do we love to cry." ”

Ning Xin hadn't heard her mother's thoughts so clearly for a long time, she was excited, and Ning's mother spoke again: "When your father gets off work, I'll ask her to buy you ice cream to eat, don't cry." ”

Ning Xin woke up instantly, and her mother was not well.

In the afternoon, Ning Xin went to make up lessons for He Dongfan.

She entered the study and saw He Dongfan sitting with his back to the door.

He wore a loose black and white striped long-sleeved sweatshirt and was writing papers.

Ning Xin was already surprised, and walked over to put down the schoolbag first.

She sat down next to He Dongfan and took the exercise book he had placed in the prescribed position and flipped through it.

He Dongfan will mark the problems that can't be done, and wait for Ning Xin to help her figure out the ideas for solving the problems.

Ning Xin flipped through the folded pages, and there was a test paper sandwiched inside.

She opened it for some reason, and it was the math paper of the final mock exam.

The red pen on it reads: One hundred and three points.

Ning Xin's eyes widened instantly, and she was so excited that she couldn't express it: "I'll just say that you can, I'll say that our strategy is effective, you see!" ”

She patted He Dongfan on the shoulder excitedly.

He Dongfan had already laughed.

And because she was so excited, she smiled even more proudly.

He put down his pen and tilted his head, arrogant.

But in the next moment, the smile on his face stiffened.

He leaned in, his hand raised to her right cheek.

I didn't touch it, and I retracted it.

He gritted his back molars, slapped his desk and stood up, his temper corrupt and righteous: "Who beat you?!! ”
