shine on her star

As she expected, after Zhao's father found out about this, he just said "it's okay, it's okay".

How could he blame Zhao Xi?

Those who do not know are not guilty.

What's more, according to Zhao Ni, Zhao Xi has been busy taking care of her these two days, and it's too late to thank her.

But Zhao Ni was still scolded by Zhao's father.

"If you know you can't eat peanuts, don't be greedy. Have you forgotten the severe allergies you had when you were young?"

Speaking of that time, Dad Zhao was really scared to death.

At that time, his wife was seriously ill, and his daughter had allergies at home. He was busy at both ends, and his head was "buzzing" and hurting.

Zhao Ni lowered her head: "I'm sorry, Dad."

While apologizing, she secretly raised her eyes to look at Zhao Xi.

It just so happened that the other party also looked at her.

The two just exchanged a look.

It was as if there was a secret that belonged exclusively to the two of them.

After the allergy incident was over, life returned to its usual calm.

After Zhao Ni went to class normally, she was still so nervous about studying, and Zhao Xi also came to give her tutoring when the time came, as she had agreed before.

As if nothing had happened to him, he got along with her and still maintained the relationship between tutor and student.

However, Zhao Ni didn't think so.

Occasionally lying on the bed at night, she thought of his princess hug, his holding hands and his light kiss on her forehead.

Thinking about it, I couldn't sleep.

Tossed and turned in bed all the time.

Then he sat up, touched his hot cheeks, and thought about him.

Zhao Ni is a person with a sense of propriety.

Probably because my biological mother was gone when I was very young, and there were always a few people around who were gossiping.

She didn't understand it at the time, but she understood it when she grew up.

The general meaning is that when the mother is gone, no one will care for the girl.

Later, Papa Zhao and Yang Xuemei got married, so I thought the gossip would stop.

Who knows that the gossip has changed again.

"This stepmother is definitely not as good as my real mother."

"Tsk tsk, that girl is pitiful. The stepmother must have done the same thing in front of her face, but behind her back."

"It's not my own, the feeling must be different."

As it turns out, it's just bullshit.

At this time, Yang Xuemei treated her wholeheartedly, at least she didn't have bad intentions.

In Zhao Ni's view, although she is not a biological mother, she has done what she should do, and she is no different from a biological mother.

It's just that I got used to calling "Auntie" when I was a child, and I can't change it for a while.

Fortunately, Yang Xuemei didn't mind, so she asked her to call "Auntie" all the time.

Perhaps the sense of proportion is developed in this way.

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and the first half of the third year of high school ended.

The results of the final exam last semester made Zhao's father happy from ear to ear again.

Zhao Ni entered the top [-] of the whole grade.

According to the head teacher, if it can be stabilized at this level, the undergraduate score must be met.

After returning home, Zhao's father kept praising her.

In fact, Zhao Ni knew in her heart that she was able to get such a result in the test because Zhao Xi bet on her the night before.

She really admires him.

Taking her textbooks and the practice papers she made, she can click on several questions by flipping through them casually.

The way he holds the pen and draws the key points is all too good-looking.

"Here, here, and this one are all compulsory questions. You said that this final is based on previous years' college entrance examination questions, so you must read these questions."

"In addition, in English, listening comprehension may be tested in this section, and reading comprehension has a wider range. It is hard to guess. The final composition, I guess, is probably one of the college entrance examination questions of last year and the year before. It is not ruled out that it will be slightly modified. In short, there are some example sentences, you can memorize them, no matter what proposition it is, you can use it.”

"There's nothing to say about Chinese. You can't lose a single point when you recite the text. Do you understand?"

After saying this, he wrote a long string of English words in his notebook.

Write it down and read it out.

Zhao Xi's oral pronunciation is standard, and he enunciates words clearly. Listening to him speak English is simply an auditory pleasure.

During the exam, Zhao Ni unexpectedly discovered that he had won most of the questions.

At that moment, she thought, why didn't he buy a lottery ticket, so accurate, maybe he could win a big prize.

She muttered these words during tutoring.

Zhao Xi's hearing is very good, and he heard him whispering: "Buy a lottery ticket?"

Zhao Ni was startled by his sudden words: "Huh? Oh, yes, I want to say that you are so accurate in betting, why don't you buy a lottery ticket?"

"Why do you think so well?" Zhao Xi didn't raise his head, "Betting on questions is based on experience, while lottery tickets are based on luck. I'm not very lucky, but my experience in solving questions is not bad."

So you can only be a top student, not a rich man.

When Zhao Ni put the results of the final exam in front of Zhao Xi's eyes, his expression was calm as if he hadn't seen anything.

She was a little nervous.

You've made progress, so why isn't he happy?
"Take out the test paper and let me have a look."

Zhao Ni said "oh", and spread all the test papers in front of his eyes.

Zhao Xi took a pencil out of her pencil case.

The teachers of each subject have already said that in the test questions, the mistakes were corrected with red pens.

Holding the pencil, Zhao Xi took notes behind the red pen: "Here, you can't make mistakes next time, and here, I will focus on it for you after two days of tutoring..."

With a "crash", he turned the test paper over.

This is a math paper with big questions on the back.

He was looking at the part she revised.

"This, actually, you don't need to explain it this way. You can remember it more clearly if you use a simpler method." After speaking, Zhao Xi wrote down the steps in the blank space next to it.

Zhao Ni leaned over to look.

Just at this moment, Zhao Xi raised his head.

The little girl's fair cheek was next to her, and the distance between them was so close that they could hear each other's heartbeat.

He froze for a few seconds, froze.

There was a pleasant smell in her hair, like the scent of lily-of-the-valley.

Zhao Xi swallowed subconsciously.

Zhao Ni was still reading the questions, but didn't pay attention.

By the time she realized it, Zhao Xi had been staring at her for a long time.

The little girl's face turned red in an instant.

She was born fair, and when she was shy, the redness on her cheeks spread to her neck, and even the roots of her ears were red.

"Yes, yes, sorry!" Zhao Ni wanted to dig a hole in embarrassment.

Zhao Xi was relatively calm.

When she was not calm, she didn't see it.

"What are you apologizing for?"

He stopped Zhao Ni from asking.

Yes.

Why is she apologizing?
Doesn't an apology mean that there is something wrong with you?

At this time, Zhao Xi took out a box from his pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it to Zhao Ni.

He raised his chin: "For you."

The little girl looked over suspiciously.

Okay, why do you want to give her a gift?

Zhao Xi was very uncomfortable being stared at by her like this.

Coughing lightly, he explained: "You did well in the final exam this time, so it's a reward."

Girls in this age group will be very happy as long as they receive a gift.

Especially the box looks very delicate.

"Thank you," Zhao Ni thought for a while, and added a title to him, "Teacher Zhao."

Zhao Xi frowned, dissatisfied with the word "Teacher Zhao".

Call him old.

But he will self-regulate.

Although I don't want to be her teacher, what I'm doing now is the job of a teacher, so let's just listen first.

I still want to tease her: "You didn't call me that when you were young."

Zhao Ni was stunned, when she was a child?
We were not very close when we were young.

"Just to remind you, you called me Brother Zhao Xi when you were young."

Zhao Ni: ...

This, very shy.

But he didn't think: "Call out now, teacher? Too old for me."
