This snow in Cloud City is several days at a time.

The city, which has not had such a heavy snowfall for several years, seems to have entered a moment of shutdown because of this premeditated snowstorm.

Li Cang stayed at home for three days and did not go out.

Even her parents, who have always been diligent, had a rare day of rest at home because of this snow.

She sat on the small sofa in her room, enjoying the rare snow scene outside the window through the huge floor-to-ceiling window, while fiddling with the grotesque Rubik's Cube she had just picked up in the past few days.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Ms. Sun Wei came upstairs on time and knocked on her door, reminding her that she was ready to go out.

Li Cang stretched out as if he had no bones, and then got up from the sofa that had been nested for a day.

Like her parents, even if they are forced to rest at home because of heavy snow, they do not forget to seize the time to maintain their social interactions.

What Li Cang is going to go with them tonight is not somewhere else, but Tao Jingran's home, who lives in the same community.

A few years ago, due to the company's need to expand its business, Tao Jingran's parents were sent to Jiangcheng by the old man of the Tao family, and they stayed for several years, even with Tao Jingran and his two younger siblings, they also lived in Jiangcheng for a long time, and they just returned to Yuncheng in the last half a year.

After returning to Cloud City, all kinds of contacts and relationships are, of course, urgently needed to be re-maintained.

The Li family has a big business, and they live in the same manor community as the Tao family, so they are neighbors, so this meal is always a matter of time.

Li Cang changed his clothes, followed his parents, and took a car to Tao's house.

Before entering the gate of the Tao family's villa, she noticed that in the corner of the garden in the Tao family's vestibule, there was a bicycle that was not new, but could even be called very old.

The bicycle is well maintained, but the style is very old, so old that even if it was delivered to Li Cang ten years ago, she was too lazy to take a look.

But a quick glance.

Soon, her eyes fell on Tao Jiaming's brightly lit house.

As Tao Jingran's friend from childhood to adulthood, Li Cang naturally did not come to Tao's house for the first time, nor did it take the first time to meet Tao Jingran's parents.

The adults had something to talk about, and after Li Cang greeted them, he was told that Tao Jingran was in the upstairs room with her two younger siblings, and she could go upstairs to play with them.

Li Cangle is at ease.

Feeling the stairs all the way up, I found Tao Jingran's room with ease.

Knock Knock –

She knocked on the door twice.

No one in the house paid attention.

Thinking that Tao Jingran's room was also a relatively large suite, she thought that he might not have heard it in the back room, so she increased the strength of her hand and knocked it twice.

Still no one cares.

Li Cang could only take out his mobile phone and plan to call Tao Jingran.

Just as she turned on the screen of her phone, she finally heard a click in the back room, and then, there was a sound of footsteps from far and near, gradually approaching her.

She quickly turned off her phone again and waited for someone to open the door.

The moment the door opened, Li Cang's voice also sounded: "Do you dare to ...... again?"

Rub it a little.

The last four words were stuck in my throat and were not finished.

Because Li Cang saw that the person standing behind the door was not the familiar Tao Jingran she imagined, but the tutor Tao Jingran invited back for his younger brother Tao Mingcheng in the school-

Shao Qingyan.

Li Cang never thought that he would meet this person in the here and now.

Almost instantly, she remembered the worn-out bicycle parked in the Tao family's garden, as if everything suddenly had a reasonable explanation.

I see.

She stood quietly in front of the door, looking at Shao Qingyan.

Shao Qingyan also looked at her.

"What about Tao Jingran?"

It didn't take long for Li Cang to ask first.

Shao Qingyan's head turned back and glanced at the sofa in the room.

Soon, he opened the door completely, allowing her to see the whole room at a glance.

The sofa group placed next to the floor-to-ceiling window is lying on it with two sleeping figures, one large and one small, each covered with a blanket, which occupies almost the entire sofa position.

“……”

Li Cang didn't expect that the two people sleeping in the living room couldn't hear her knock on the door.

Her silence was once again deafening.

"Teacher Xiao Shao, who is here?"

In the study on the other side, Tao Mingcheng, who was still waiting for the teacher to go back to class, couldn't wait to stick out his head and look over after the teacher didn't come back after two minutes.

Li Cang looked at the little Tao Mingcheng.

Tao Mingcheng also looked up to her simply.

Although the Tao family has three brothers and sisters, in fact, only Tao Jingran is the eldest brother of the eight classics, and Tao Mingcheng and Tao Mingxuan are the brothers and sisters born later.

Because of the relatively large age difference between Tao Jingran and his younger siblings, Li Cang knew that since he was very young, Tao Mingcheng and Tao Mingxuan both liked to stick to him, and no matter what they did during the day, they liked to rely on him, the eldest brother's room.

"Sister Cangzong!"

Tao Mingcheng saw that it was Li Cang, and he was still very well-behaved.

Li Cang nodded, originally wanted to hide in Tao Jingran's place, but looking around his living room, it seemed that there was no place for him to stay.

She could only discuss with Tao Mingcheng and go to sit on the sofa in the study first.

"Of course I can, but the teacher may be a little noisy with me, Sister Cang, do you want to listen to the teacher teach me?"

Li Cang paused, and then remembered that when she went to the study, it seemed that she should ask Shao Qingyan's opinion again.

After all, now is the time for him to give Tao Mingcheng a lesson.

She was impartial and returned her gaze to the person standing next to her.

"I'll do whatever I want."

Shao Qingyan dropped a sentence lightly, and took Tao Mingcheng back to the study first.

Leaving Li Cang standing in place, looking at his back in a daze.

"I'll do whatever I want."

"I can do it all."

She remembered Lin Jiajia's answer when he asked him to take pictures a few days ago.

He has no temper and has never been picky.

With a soft snort, she followed them into the study, and gently helped to close the door.

—

The lectures in the study were a little boring and boring for Li Cang.

She was not naturally interested in math, and although she was able to maintain the high score she should have on every test, it was the result of her forcing herself out.

She sat in the far corner of the couch, trying not to disturb them, and trying not to let them disturb herself.

She had headphones plugged in one ear, just in case, but she kept one ear to listen to the movement outside.

Shao Qingyan's voice giving a lecture to Tao Mingcheng, and Tao Mingcheng's little milk voice that asked questions when he found that he didn't understand...... Although Li Cang didn't listen to it very clearly, he was more or less impressed.

She leaned back on the couch, occasionally glancing up at them.

"Whew, it's finally done."

By the time Tao Mingcheng completed the inspection of Shao Qingyan for him again, the hour hand hanging on the wall had slowly pointed to six o'clock.

Shao Qingyan finished reading the answer he wrote, and there seemed to be no problem.

"Then that's all for today's lesson, if you still don't understand something, you can write it in the notebook, next time I'll come over to explain it to you, or just ask your brother to send me WeChat, I'll reply to you when I'm free, this is just a few questions for you, finish writing before I come back next time......"

It's finally coming to an end.

Li Cang listened to their movements, and also took off his headphones and slowly moved his neck.

Tao Mingcheng's little face tightened, as if he was listening carefully to Shao Qingyan's speech the whole time.

But after listening to his words, he nodded his head and suddenly pulled out a game of multicolored marble checkers from a drawer.

"Teacher, are you leaving now? Can you play a game of checkers with me before you go? ”

“……？”

It had been a long time since there had been some wonderful expressions on Li Can's face.

Especially Tao Mingcheng's voice also has the sweetness that belongs to a child, which makes her look puzzled and inexplicably want to laugh.

She looked up curiously again.

"My brother said that you are very good, and I can play a game of checkers with you after you finish the class."

Tao Mingcheng looked up at his cheerful and tender little face, and was looking at Shao Qingyan with a sincere face.

Shao Qingyan didn't seem to understand his logic.

"Why do I have to play a game of checkers with me when I'm so good?"

"Because my parents don't have time to play with me, my brother can't play with me anymore, my sister can't play with me, and the nanny and aunt at home can't play with me...... None of them like to play checkers with me, and I haven't had an opponent for a long time. ”

Little Tao Mingcheng hugged the checkers in his arms and explained to him.

Shao Qingyan understood.

Li Cang also understood.

She saw Shao Qingyan get up and stand in front of the table and began to pack up her things.

"That can only be played for one game, I still have something to do tonight, and I can't stay with you for a long time."

"Good!"

The stars in Tao Mingcheng's eyes obviously lit up.

Li Cang chuckled silently, listened to their conversation, and continued to nest back on the sofa, intending to play with his mobile phone for a while.

"Sister Cang, are you playing?"

Who knows, Tao Mingcheng blinked his eyes and hit the abacus on her again.

A game of checkers hexagon can be played by three people at the same time.

Li Cang raised his eyebrows and looked at Tao Mingcheng.

"My brother said that you are also very good, and said that the next time you come to play at home, I can play with you."

Your brother is really ......

I can't do it myself, I can only draw the cake on others.

Li Cang really wanted to rush out now and pull Tao Jingran's collar up and roll his eyes at him.

But......

Her eyes, which had always been black and white, slowly fell on Shao Qingyan, who was standing, after listening to Tao Mingcheng's words.

He was really tall, and Li Cang noticed it from the first time he saw him.

He stood at the edge of the table, the flat table, almost knee-level.

He was sorting out his things, as if he was ready to finish the game and leave immediately.

When he heard Tao Mingcheng's words, he also followed him back to look at her.

Li Cang put down his phone, and finally turned his gaze back to Tao Mingcheng's face, and showed him a happy smile under the dazzling incandescent light.

"Play."

She said.
