After dinner, Su Wenyan sat leisurely at the table, carefully tutoring Ming Xi with his homework.

Suddenly, Ming Xi put down the pen in his hand, looked at him with guilt, and said softly:

"Uncle, I'm sorry."

Su Wenyan raised her eyes slightly, her gaze as gentle as water, and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you apologizing suddenly?"

"I was wrong today." Ming Xi said and lowered his head in shame.

"Oh?" Su Wenyan raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's wrong?"

"I shouldn't be picking up trash on the street and getting dirty, but I really just want to share some of the pressure for my uncle."

Ming Xi finished speaking and sighed in self-blame, "And the questions that uncle taught me, I always forget as I learn. I'm so stupid, you must be disgusted with me... wuwuwu..."

Su Wenyan looked at his sad face and couldn't help laughing. He coughed lightly to hide his emotions, then took a tissue to wipe his tears and said slowly:

“You pick up trash on the street because you have a kind heart and know how to care for others. I am only touched by your understanding.

As for learning, everyone has their own pace. No one can memorize all knowledge in one go. You are not stupid, you are just still on the road of growth.

I believe that as long as you keep working hard and being serious, you will be able to overcome all the difficulties one day. Moreover, I see every bit of your progress, and you are much better than you think. "

Ming Xi raised her red and swollen eyes and looked at Su Wenyan, sobbing and asking, "Really?"

"Yeah." Su Wenyan nodded in response.

Mingxi smiled brightly, "Thank you, uncle. I'll go pick up more plastic bottles and broken cartons tomorrow and sell them to buy a gift for you!"

"Uh... I think we should just give up."

"Why?" Ming Xi looked confused.

“Because in the society we live in, the distribution of resources is often uneven. You see, some people have huge wealth and abundant resources and live very comfortably.

However, there are some people who can only rely on meager income to make a living. For people at the bottom of society, trash cans may be their last hope of survival.

When some people are really desperate, they will pick up trash as a way to get a chance to continue living.

If we already have enough to eat and drink, but we still fight for these resources, what will happen to those who really need these resources?"

Mingxi suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly, "I understand, uncle."

"Ding dong..."

There was a noise outside the door.

Su Wenyan opened the door and saw the young man standing outside. He called out in surprise, "Xiao Xiang."

Su Xiang, who was standing outside the door, was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, which was simple and stylish. He was wearing military green overalls with multiple pockets to show his personality.

He wore a pair of cool Martin boots with the shoelaces tied casually. Under the slightly messy hair, his eyes were firm and handsome, as if he had an unruly style, which attracted attention.

"Hello Uncle Xiaoyan~"

"Okay, come in quickly. Why didn't you call me in advance? It's so dark now, so I can pick you up." Su Wenyan said as he welcomed him into the house.

"No need to be so troublesome, I'm not a child." Su Xiang looked around the living room and asked:

"Uncle Xiaoyan, where is Brother Mingxi?"

Su Wenyan pointed to the study and said, "Mingxi is doing his homework in there. Go play with him. I'll go to the kitchen to cut some fruit for you."

"Yeah, thank you Uncle Xiaoyan."

Su Xiang took off his backpack and took the doll inside in his hand. Then he ran to the door of the study with brisk steps and pushed it open.

"What a blessing~" Su Xiang raised the doll in his hand and said with a smile.

Ming Xi stopped what he was doing and looked up at the door, "Why are you here?"

"What? Aren't you welcome?"

Ming Xi quickly waved his hands, "No, no, I was just too surprised."

"Hey, I don't think you'd dare. Here! I threw your doll away last time, so I'll give you a new one this time."

Su Xiang stuffed the doll in his hand into Ming Xi's arms, "Do you like it?"

"I'm not a child anymore. I don't need this..."

Su Xiang's eyes widened: "No matter what! If I say you are who you are, you are not allowed to resist, or I will beat you up!"

Hearing this, Mingxi immediately hugged the doll obediently and stopped talking.

Su Xiang curled his lips in satisfaction, slowly walked towards him, then leaned close to his ear and whispered ambiguously.

"Be good~Tell me the truth, have you missed me during this period?"

Mingxi took a step back, distanced himself from him, and shook his head, "No."

"Lie~" Su Xiang smiled evilly, then moved closer to him, "Look, you miss me so much, why don't you tell me?"

Mingxi pursed her lips and looked speechless.

"Oh, no, no, my broken heart needs your comfort. Come, kiss me, and I will forgive you."

"Ouch! You're so annoying."

Ming Xi couldn't bear it anymore and pushed him away. Su Xiang fell to the ground, holding his chest and screaming exaggeratedly.

"Ouch! It hurts so much. I can't take it anymore. Mingxi, come and give me artificial respiration."

"Stop pretending, it's too fake!"

Mingxi rolled his eyes and exposed him mercilessly.

"Click~!"

Su Wenyan walked in with a fruit plate and saw Su Xiang lying on the floor with a painful expression on his face. He hurriedly helped him up.

"Xiao Xiang, what's wrong with you?"

"Uncle Xiaoyan, let Brother Mingxi push me!" Su Xiang opened his eyes wide and said aggrievedly.

Hearing what he said, Ming Xi immediately became angry: "You are talking nonsense! You clearly fell down by yourself."

Su Xiang blinked his eyes, revealing an innocent expression: "Huh? You clearly pushed me, how come I fell down by myself?"

Ming Xi snorted coldly: "Just talk nonsense."

"Mingxi, your brother has come all the way to play with you, so you can't bully him, okay?"

"No, uncle, he really fell down by himself! I saw it all just now."

"Okay, okay, brother fell down by himself. Come and eat some fruit." Su Wenyan smiled and changed the subject.

Su Xiang sat on the sofa obediently, and did not forget to add, "Okay Uncle Xiaoyan, for your sake, I forgive Brother Mingxi."

"Have you forgiven me?" Ming Xi pointed at himself and asked in surprise.

"Mingxi, stop arguing with your brother and come and eat some fruit together."

Mingxi pouted and sat down silently.

"Xiao Xiang, it's getting late. You can stay here. I'll go tidy up your room."

"Don't bother Uncle Xiaoyan. Brother Mingxi and I can sleep in the same room. I'm afraid he'll get scared in the middle of the night."

"I won't sleep in the same room with you." Ming Xi refused with a look of disgust.

"Oh ~ okay! Then I will sleep in the same bed with Uncle Xiaoyan."

Upon hearing this, Mingxi became obedient. As everyone knows, Su Xiang is a little teddy bear with no bottom line. This guy has been coveting Su Wenyan for a long time.

Even though he calls Su Wenyan Uncle Xiaoyan affectionately now, when they are alone, Su Wenyan will definitely not be able to escape his clutches!

Thinking of this, Ming Xi couldn't help but shudder, and then quickly changed his words: "You should sleep in the same room with me!"
