Chapter 377: "Growing Pains"
Chu Tianmian dragged his wrist and walked towards the school gate.
Her nervous attitude made Su Chengyi start to reflect for a while, whether he was a little cruel to himself.
Although the murder weapon was a razor blade, it was more than sharp and not lethal.
However, in order to cover up that little bite mark, he shot very steadily and ruthlessly, like a Sakura Country samurai fighting in the gladiatorial arena, so that the wound is still a little painful.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and walked against the crowd to the intersection, but Su Chengyi saw an unexpected person.
Uncle Gao in a suit and leather shoes was leaning against the door of the Maybach with his arms crossed, and insisted on wearing his semi-permanent sunglasses at night.
Uncle Gao's tense face relaxed a little without a trace when he saw him coming, and nodded slightly.
"Uncle Gao."
Seeing him, Su Chengyi was a little happy and smiled slightly.
He rarely treats anyone with such a positive and good attitude, so even if he is as cold as Uncle Gao, he has to cooperate with him symbolically pulling the corners of his mouth, and then turn around and pull the car door.
"Well, get in the car and say."
For Su Chengyi, Uncle Gao's identity is not simply "the driver and bodyguard of the eldest lady's family", but a reliable and secure elder.
Under the cold appearance of 007, he is actually careful and gentle.
And he's still taciturn, and he won't talk to you.
In addition, the professional skills are also excellent, and the car drives sassy and stable. And the part-time job of a bodyguard doesn't need to be said, this man knows that he is super strong just by standing there.
For Su Chengyi, for Miss Chu, of course.
Chu Tianmian obviously regarded Uncle Gao as a real uncle, and this guy would only act like a childish ghost when he treated people close to him.
"Trunk trunk!"
Chu Tianmian reached out and took off Uncle Gao's semi-permanent sunglasses.
"Don't pretend to be cool at night!!"
Uncle Gao's ice cube face showed a little helplessness, but he could only obey the command, turned around and opened the trunk.
Miss Chu rummaged in the trunk and brought out a portable medical kit.
"It's not necessary, is it?"
Su Chengyi leaned behind the car and tried to stop it.
"You see, the wound has actually healed."
He pulled down his mask and leaned closer to show Chu Qianmian.
Hearing the word "wound", Uncle Gao immediately turned his face away, with an inquiring look in his eyes.
I guess I thought he had been beaten.
Su Chengyi coughed and quickly explained:
"The razor was accidentally scratched, and the disposable one sent by the hotel before is not very easy to use."
"Then we have to deal with it, what if I get a scar?"
Chu Tianmian hugged a bunch of medical supplies and glared at him angrily.
"Get in the car, get in the car."
Inside the car.
Uncle Gao's eyes looked at the wound through the rearview mirror, and it was very oppressive.
Su Chengyi was really a little afraid that he would see any clues.
On the other hand, I was a little glad that I had temporarily thought of such a trick to hide from the world.
If you don't do anything about the luck of the past, even if you can fool the eldest lady, you can't fool the uncle who happened to come to the capital.
What's going on, an experienced person like him can know it at a glance.
However, at this time, Uncle Gao obviously did not delve into the direction of suspicion.
He only confirmed that the source of the wound could not be a fight or a deliberate handiwork by someone else.
After relieving himself, Uncle Gao withdrew his eyes.
Su Chengyi followed with a sigh of relief.
"Why did Uncle Gao come to the capital too?"
He asked the right question.
"What the boss means."
Uncle Gao turned the steering wheel, and then realized that this answer was too perfunctory, and added:
"Miss's school and Awakening Entertainment are all here, and it's not convenient to run around, so I just let me come over."
In fact, when he said the first half of the sentence, Su Chengyi had already guessed the latter paragraph.
And the reason why he consigned his Aston Martin to the capital is actually for this reason.
X1 Studio is officially up and running, and it's not unclear what the situation will be after that.
However, it can be expected that this summer, he and Chu Tianmian will probably have to be busy.
After all, the first project of the two is in full swing, and everything is always the hardest at the beginning.
"Hey, don't move."
Chu Tianmian poked his face as a warning.
Su Chengyi lowered her eyes and looked at the cotton swab dipped in the potion in her hand.
"I didn't move, what are you shaking?"
I didn't tremble! I guess it's Uncle Gao driving around. ”
Uncle Gao in the front row who was inexplicably backing the pot: "."
And Chu Qianmian took advantage of the confidence of this sentence, and the cotton swab in his hand finally fell.
The soft cotton head was dipped in a purple potion, which was applied to the wound with a bit of coolness.
It doesn't hurt, but it's a little itchy.
"Where to eat?"
Su Chengyi couldn't help but speak, to restrain the urge to reach out and scratch his chin.
"My dad said that there is a Japanese food that is not bad, go try it."
"Your dad is too?"
Su Chengyi's tone was very vigilant.
"Of course not."
Chu Tianmian smeared as if he was painting, and made sure that he hadn't missed any part before putting down the cotton swab.
"He wanted to come."
The eldest lady angrily put the cotton swab into the paper bag.
"Su Chengyi, you don't know what I went through last night!! It's all because he said that he is an old classmate, and I can't push off other people's dinners.
The director also said he was going to invite me to play golf, please, do I look like I can play?! ”
Chu Tianmian looked helpless.
"Well, not really."
Su Chengyi objectively evaluated, she looked like the type of person who would wrestle herself when swinging.
Chu Tianmian, who had completed the treatment task, leaned closer and carefully examined his face again.
With the purple potion, the wound looked more conspicuous.
She looked at it for a while, then staggered her eyes and muttered to her:
"Su Chengyi, how old are you, why can't you even shave! I almost broke my phase.
Besides, aren't they all electric shavers now, how safe are they? ”
"Get used to it."
Su Chengyi is not lying.
The first time he shaved, it was around the second year of high school.
At that time, Yang Liu and Su Zelang had already divorced, and he had been living alone for a long time.
In my previous life, I had a much worse relationship with my parents, and I hardly had any connection with anything other than the need to pay tuition.
By chance, when he looked in the mirror while washing up in the morning, Su Chengyi suddenly noticed a few sparse beards popping out of his face.
He was stunned for a moment, realizing that this was a sign of puberty, the result of the beginning of the secretion of male hormones.
In fact, it is not obvious, and if you don't look closely, you can't actually see it.
But he found out again.
As a person with deep obsessive-compulsive disorder, Su Chengyi has been struggling with the matter of his beard almost all day long.
So when it was broken, he went to the supermarket and bought a razor after school that night.
In order to save money, it is an old-fashioned pure manual razor that you buy and need to install your own blades.
By the way, I also took away the shaving foam sold on the side.
This is thanks to Su Zelang, and Su Chengyi has a vague memory of his shaving in his mind.
When he was young, Su Zelang boasted of being a handsome guy, and he always attached great importance to that face, which is also one of the important reasons why he was able to catch up with Yang Liu.
But now I don't care at all, and I've become an ordinary greasy fat uncle.
After returning home, Su Chengyi read the instructions carefully, and then blindly and confidently began to rub foam on his face, and then directly started.
The results, of course, were tragic.
Unlike mathematical formulas, which can be applied without brains, manual manual can play a very limited role in manual work such as shaving.
And Su Chengyi is a tough seed again, although he felt a hot pain on his face, he didn't stop, and he scraped himself.
In the end, of course, it hurt with bared teeth and didn't sleep well all night.
When I woke up to school the next day, it happened to be facing the cold winter wind again, and it felt like someone had been holding a steel wool ball for brushing the pot and shaving your ears.
Thinking about this now, Su Chengyi still remembers it vividly.
However, with the experience of this time, he learned this skill, so that in his previous life, he was still used to using a manual razor until he was almost thirty years old.
After listening to Su Chengyi's explanation, Chu Tianmian's burning fire of education was immediately extinguished.
Instead, compassion began to flood.
If Uncle Su can grow up with Su Chengyi, he can teach him.
He doesn't have to mess around at home by himself and get hurt.
And in an entire adolescent without parental companionship, this must be just the tip of the iceberg.
Chu Tianmian suddenly felt a little understood, why he looked like everyone else owed him money all day long.
The most sensitive and fragile adolescence, no matter what is faced by himself, it is very good that he is not crooked.
Although his face stinks a little now, it's just fierce, at least he's kind-hearted.
And Miss Chu, who felt that Su Chengyi was very pitiful, didn't realize a problem, that is, she actually grew up lonely like this.
Chu Yuanjiang is a good father, but he is busy with work and can't do it; Not to mention Wei Peilan, after being diagnosed with postpartum depression, she completely disappeared from Chu Qianmian's life for a long time.
There are a lot of people in the family, many of whom treat her sincerely, but there is no blood relationship, and in the final analysis, it is also an employment relationship, after all, there is a delicate distance.
When Chu Tianmian was a child, since he learned to walk, his favorite thing was to run around the big house in shoes that would creak when he stepped on them.
It's like playing with the air, and you have to brush a lot of presence.
Running like this, she slowly grew up, and puberty quietly came.
Although many things can be taught in physiology classes, they are actually very general, and at most people have a corresponding concept.
But when I really experience it myself, I will still be ignorant and unclear about the situation.
Therefore, when Chu Tianmian had his first menstrual period, he thought that he had a terminal illness, and even wrote a suicide note quietly.
These include the ownership of her bunch of named dolls "Nicole", "Anna" and so on, as well as her great wish to donate all the New Year's money to the children in the mountains.
The nanny aunt who found out afterwards was careful and comforted on the surface, "Oh, our young lady has grown up", and laughed for a long time with the pastry chef aunt behind the scenes.
And now, Su Chengyi knew what this guy was thinking just by looking at her, and he immediately reached out and pinched her cheek flesh to block her divergent sympathy.
"Stop, Miss Chu."
Chu Tianmian blinked, smoothly covering up his emotions, and looked a little well-behaved.
It doesn't matter, she thought.
Those lonely days are gone, and they have all grown up.
That's just the "growing pains" of adolescence.
For the rest of their lives, they will be with each other, and that's enough.
There was a bit of traffic jam on the road, and the original half-hour journey was more than an hour away.
The two people in the back seat chatted with each other.
Su Chengyi was accustomed to her whimsical thinking, and didn't care that many of her questions were answered in the wrong way.
For example, inexplicably, the topic changed from tomorrow's morning class to her childhood nanny.
"You said that you took care of Ling when you were a child, not this aunt now?"
The man in his arms buried his face in his chest and let out an "um" sound.
"Auntie is gone."
"Why did you leave?"
With the treatment of the Chu family, no one should take the initiative to resign, Su Chengyi sniffed the fructose smell in her hair, and thought casually.
"Because Auntie has other things, Auntie herself has children."
Chu Tianmian replied even more quietly.
Uncle Gao in the driver's seat listened to the conversation between the two, and his eyes sank under his sunglasses.
He grew up watching Chu Tianmian, so he naturally knew what was going on.
When she was a child, Chu Dumping was a clingy and crying person, so she naturally relied on the aunt who had taken care of her since she was a child.
But the nanny is just a nanny, the Chu family pays the salary, and she pays a little care and care.
Miss likes her, and the Chu family naturally gives her a generous reward, and she thought that she would be more conscientious because of this, but the result was a torrent of brave retreat.
When she proposed to resign, the Chu family expressed understanding, but hoped that she could stay for a while and give the young lady a buffer period to accept the newcomer.
But such a request was also denied.
She may have feelings for Miss, but not much.
When you earn enough money, you naturally leave.
At that time, Chu Tianmian, who was only three or four years old, knew that the aunt who could sing lullabies to put herself to sleep was leaving, and she would never come back.
It was really sad for a while.
Since then, Chu Qianmian may have learned to look at money and feelings separately, or maybe not.
Uncle Gao glanced at the red navigation route and recalled with a calm face.
It was probably when the young lady was in the second grade, the money was spent, and the nanny actually found her back, and she begged the old club to accept her again.
In the end, of course, he was driven away by Steward Han with a cold face.
The nanny didn't give up, and actually squatted at the school gate, wanting to play the emotional card with the young lady directly.
Uncle Gao knew that if she was allowed to achieve her goal, the young lady would be soft-hearted, and even if she was not allowed to return to work, she would definitely help.
So directly from the root prevents such a possibility.
Miss is kind-hearted, but there are many ruthless people around her.
Never give anyone who hurt her a second chance to approach her.
"You must have been crying for at least two weeks."
Su Chengyi asked.
When Miss Chu was a cub, she must have been a tearful slime.
Uncle Gao turned a corner and entered the mall, while silently retorting in his heart.
- It's two months.
Even though he was only forty months old at that time, he spent one-twentieth of his time grieving about it.
"Not really."
Chu Tianmian's mouth was stiff.
"How long was that?"
"Hmm"
Su Chengyi originally thought she was reminiscing, but she didn't wait for a response, and lowered her head to find that she had fallen asleep in her arms.
Only then did she find that her eyes were flushed with blue, thinking that she had been busy lately, and she didn't sleep well when she caught a plane last night.
The impression of the small squad leader is always full of vitality, like a little sun.
It seems that there are few times when you are so tired.
At this point, Maybach turned into the parking lot, and the mall's lights were refracted through the windows.
Su Chengyi raised his hand to block it, preventing the pillar of light from falling on Chu Tianmian's face and disturbing her clear dream.
Growing pains.
Growing pains.
Su Cheng imagined that in the medical definition, it is explained as physiological pain caused by the rapid growth of long bones during puberty and the lack of coordination with the growth and development of local muscles and tendons.
But people often say "youth pain literature", so growing pains don't just refer to physical pain.
It's rare that the same word is used to describe it, both in literature and in medicine.
At the age of the fastest growth, the unsolvable confusion and confusion that suddenly came out of the bottom of my heart, the collision and rise of spirit and soul again and again.
All this is embodied in the flying white test papers, the sound of the bell after class and the chalk rubbing against the blackboard, the mist in the early morning and the street lights at night.
Adults may feel hypocritical, but only those who are experiencing it or have just experienced it can understand this feeling.
But it's okay, too.
Su Chengyi thought so, his gaze fell on the shadow cast on his face by Chu Tianmian's lowered eyelashes.
A razor can be used without being taught, and sooner or later those who should leave will leave, puberty is like a long, damp drizzle, and growing pains will stay at the age of eighteen.
