Chapter 31: Gu Yan
When he finally came to his employer's house, he waited for Xia Lichen to knock on the door, but after waiting for a while to open the door, he was a child.
Looking at the age of about ten years old, but he is a very beautiful little guy.
When he looked up at Xia Lichen, she finally saw the whole picture of the other party, she could see how good-looking his silhouette was even if she lowered her head just now, but what surprised her even more was that the other party was still a foreign child?
"Are your parents here, little friend?"
He has chestnut curly hair, very fluffy, aqua blue pupils, and even more snow white skin all over his body.
She thought that the child she was going to teach today should not be him, but when the child spoke Mandarin fluently, Xia Lichen was simply stunned.
"You're my English teacher, Dad has already told me in advance, please come in."
Although he is young and still a foreign child, his Mandarin is really good, and his tone and demeanor are also very mature.
Xia Lichen nodded quietly, and then walked in with the other party, thinking that as long as there was money to be made anyway, she could teach even a foreign child.
When she walked into the house, the huge villa was pitch black, and she simply looked around to find that every window was covered by curtains, and not only that, even the monotonous furnishings did not look like someone had lived in it for a long time.
She followed the other party to the second floor, but it was still more or less dark, Xia Lichen couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart, how could it be a bit like a vampire living place?
It wasn't until I walked into the child's room that the vision was finally lit up by the chandelier inside, although it was quite strange, but I have to say that the child's room was really luxuriously decorated.
"Let's just start like this, don't we need to tell your parents?"
Because she works part-time at an English-speaking agency, she doesn't know who the employer is, but in order to make sure that there are no problems at the end of the job, she asks one last time.
"I'll tell Dad when he comes."
replied in a cold tone, Xia Lichen sighed that the other party was not like a normal child at all.
"Okay, but let's introduce ourselves first, my name is Xia Lichen, you can call me Teacher Xia in the future."
"Gu Yan."
Xia Lichen thought that the other party would be a foreign name, so she was immediately stunned, why didn't she think that he might be a mixed race? Then it all makes sense to ask for an English tutor.
Although Gu Yan was very indifferent throughout the whole process, he had to say that he was quite serious in his studies, and he was not proficient in English at all as Xia Lichen thought, but he couldn't speak at all.
It's really strange this child, she muttered in her heart, but she was not lazy at all during the lecture, even the adults of this family did not appear until the end of her morning class.
"Gu Yan's class is here first, you can review it in the evening, and we will continue to study tomorrow."
Assigned him some after-school homework, Xia Lichen was finally able to activate his muscles and bones, I just hope to see each other's parents when I come tomorrow, after all, there are some things that can only be explained to parents.
Gu Yan nodded, there was still no expression on his face, but when Xia Lichen went downstairs alone, looking at the entire empty home, it was really scary, it was really weird to say that such a family should have a special housekeeping aunt.
When he got home, he saw the message sent by Chen Shaohua to himself, he said that he would come to her when he was not busy in a few days, Xia Lichen told him to rest assured, it was actually quite easy for him to be a tutor today.
Although the two are also in love, the sweetness between each other is still there.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that Chen Shaohua, who put down his mobile phone, was lying in the ward of a private hospital, while his cousin Chen Jiawen was standing next to him.
They hadn't spoken for a long time, of course, the reason was for Xia Lichen, Chen Jiawen's dislike for her still did not subside, but became stronger and stronger with time.
"Listen to Shaohua, I don't want to say something disheartening to you, but I really think your current situation is very dangerous! Why can't you just cut off contact with women and take care of yourself? You know you're ...... now."
"I don't remember my mom calling you over today, I know my body, as long as I keep it good and wait for the operation, I will be able to completely recover my health."
Chen Shaohua didn't care about Chen Jiawen's words at all, but looked at his mobile phone by himself, he didn't welcome him in the first place.
"Don't be too confident in yourself, even if your aunt and uncle don't say it, even if it's appropriate...... I haven't found it, so if you get sick next time, lie in bed and die! ”
He knew that he shouldn't be so hysterical, but the more he watched him happy over the years, the more uncomfortable he became, and it was because of the relationship between the two since childhood that he was so nosy.
The next day, Xia Lichen came over on time, and it was Gu Yan who came to open the door, and the house was still dark.
"Gu Yan, are your parents usually busy?"
Although she shouldn't ask these questions as a tutor, but in the end she couldn't resist the drive of curiosity, and after the morning class, she took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask, anyway, she has to come to teach Gu Yan homework this holiday.
"My mom is abroad, my dad is somewhere else, and I've always lived by myself."
When his parents were mentioned, Gu Yan's cold face finally had a hint of gloom.
"You're living alone?"
Xia Lichen was stunned when she heard this, so there are still some things that need to be asked, right, otherwise she wouldn't know that there would be such an irresponsible pair of parents after a holiday.
"Then who is responsible for your usual meals, schooling, etc.? You're still so young, you can't live by yourself from childhood to adulthood. ”
Who knew that Gu Yan actually stretched out his finger and pointed to the table next to him, like half a piece of bread and half a carton of milk that he hadn't eaten in the morning.
"My aunt comes to clean the house once every two days, and when I am hungry, I have bread and milk, and I have never been to school."
She couldn't figure out what kind of family was so rich, but why did she do this to her children! said that they didn't care, but anyway, there was a housekeeping aunt who came over every two days, but in addition to this, he actually let him nibble on bread and drink milk all day long?
It seems to be a similar experience to the other party, so Xia Li Chenguang suddenly reached out and touched his head with complicated eyes, fortunately, when she was at the lowest point in her life, she and Li Xin could still be each other's dependence, I didn't expect this child to be so pitiful.
Gu Yan was also puzzled by the other party's behavior, and it was the first time he had been touched like this since he had grown up.
"You really suffered the child, obviously you are only so young, even if the family has money, how can you not go to school? You still need to have more contact with people from the outside world. ”
"Don't touch me like that, and I'm fifteen years old today."
It seemed that someone felt that Xiao was offended, so Gu Yan was very unhappy and patted Xia Lichen's hand away.
"Ten...... Fifteen years old? ”
Getting such an explosive message again, Xia Lichen felt that her worldview seemed to be reversed, not that her eyes were bad, but that the other party looked really thin! It's a far cry from when Li Xin was fifteen years old.
However, when she looked at the bread and milk next to her, she could only choose to believe this sentence with great difficulty.
"Do you think I'm pitiful? Think I'm just a kid that no one wants? ”
Looking at the shock on Xia Lichen's face, Gu Yan sneered that his appearance was not immature at all, to be precise, it was also very suitable for his age.
"No...... No, the teacher thinks that no matter how busy your parents are with work and how rich the family is, you are fifteen years old and have not been to school yet. ”
"My dad has always helped me find a tutor, and he said that I am different from other children and that I don't have to go to school."
Hearing the other party's tone of complete indifference, Xia Lichen originally wanted to say something but only kept her mouth shut, after all, the salary of this job is not low, so she doesn't want to annoy the owner yet.
Come to think of it, not every rich person's family is as good as Shaohua's family atmosphere.
Still, she looked down at her bag, took out the rice balls she had made in the morning, and handed it to him.
"This is a rice ball made by the teacher himself, there are vegetables and meat and eggs in it, you can eat it hot in the microwave, I hope you don't dislike it, you can't just eat bread and drink milk all day long."
Gu Yan took the rice ball and didn't make a sound, just looked at Xia Lichen silently and got up and left after smiling and admonishing him.
It's not that she's nosy, it's really a little empathetic......
Thinking of a certain period of time when his parents died unexpectedly, at that time, Sister Yu Tong had not yet appeared, and his brother was busy with his studies and family, so sometimes he really couldn't take time to take care of them, so Xia Lichen himself learned to make something simple for Li Xin to eat.
In such a big family, Gu Yan has never been to school like a normal child until he was fifteen years old, and he usually has no family to accompany him, only the housekeeping aunt who comes every once in a while, which is really pitiful.
After returning home, her gaze at her brother was also more complicated, fortunately, Li Xin had herself, no matter how tired and bitter she was, the two had never been separated.
"Sister, you said that I will be admitted to A University like you in the future, is it almost okay? Today, the cram school teacher also praised me for my good homework, saying that I should work hard in the future. ”
Ye Da is the number one school in their city, and A University is second, but Xia Lichen shook his head.
"I think I support your ideas no matter what university you go to, as long as you work hard, this person should do things at his age no matter what."
"Sister, I understand everything, but why are you speaking a little weird today? Is it your tutor student who you off? ”
What was said earlier was quite normal, but the last sentence made Xia Lixin hear it in a fog.
Xia Lichen hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I just suddenly sighed, my student is very obedient and takes his homework very seriously." ”
almost said that she missed her mouth, and she didn't plan to tell Li Xin about Gu Yan yet.
