Tao Fengche even began to doubt whether Sui Yuesheng had written the item "checking Tao Fengche's homework every night" into his own daily schedule.

The burden on Sui Yuesheng is definitely not easy for him to manage the huge Tao family and also take care of the Tao family's secret business.

On Tuesday night, until two o'clock in the morning, Sui Yuesheng was still working overtime in the study. Tao Fengche stood at the door for a while, with mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't bother, and tiptoed back to the room. Sui Yuesheng did reach home one step ahead of Tao Fengche for the first time.

As soon as Tao Fengche entered the door, he felt that something was wrong. When the servant put the shoes in the shoe cabinet, he glanced casually, not to mention several pairs of slippers were missing, even Sui Yuesheng's pair was gone.

With a thought, he asked, "Is he back?"

This is a simple personal pronoun, but at this moment, both the person who asks and the person who listens know exactly who it refers to.

Xu Song was checking the dishes in the restaurant, and he didn't listen to such a question, and smiled: "Master Sui came back at early five o'clock in the afternoon, and arrived with Mr.'s lawyer team one after another, and is still having a meeting up there."

Xu Song said so, then pointed upstairs.

Tao Fengche glanced at the amount of food on the table, and said, "Then, Uncle Xu, please go up and ask them to come down and eat together."

When Sui Yuesheng arrived home very late, it was understandable for the two of them to eat separately, but now that he is at home, it would seem a bit weird if he deliberately divides meals into two groups.

Tao Fengche felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said, but Xu Song didn't know where he was thinking. He looked at Tao Fengche with kindness and approval for a long time, then turned and went upstairs.

Tao Fengche, who was stared at all uncomfortable, sat at the dining table and played with his mobile phone. After a while, Xu Song went downstairs again and shook his head at him: "Master Sui and the others are still in a meeting, let me just deliver the food up later , Young Master, you eat first, and I will ask the kitchen to make some more."

After Xu Song finished speaking, he left in a hurry. Tao Fengche, who was sitting alone at the dining table, suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.This is what I said in a meeting. I was so busy that I didn't have time to eat. Is it really necessary to forget food and sleep to this point?

He completely forgot his anger when he mistakenly thought that "Sui Yuesheng ignored Tao Shi", he finished his meal in silence, and went back to his room to do his homework as usual.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Sui Yuesheng showed up in Tao Fengche's room on time. After receiving the reply that Tao Fengche had finished his homework, he lowered his head and looked at Tao Fengche's homework for today.

He stood by the desk with his head down, concentrating on checking his homework, and Tao Fengche was also watching him.

—— Sui Yuesheng looked very tired, with a layer of tiredness covering his brows.He is a foreigner, his skin is extremely fair, and his pupils are also light blue-gray, so the light blue-black under the eyes is particularly obvious, which is very dazzling.It's like a crack suddenly appearing on a precious white porcelain, which makes people feel a little regretful about being wasteful.

He looked... not sleeping well.A thought suddenly popped up in Tao Fengche's heart.

But yes, last night I was still working at two o'clock in the morning, and I don't know when I fell asleep. When I got up at seven o'clock, this person went to work again. Dark circles, no bags under the eyes.

Tao Fengche suddenly wanted to persuade Sui Yuesheng to go to bed earlier, otherwise he would not only have dark circles under his eyes, but also be prone to baldness.The gossip shared by Wang Yuan two days ago, "A certain middle-aged alpha went bald in the Mediterranean because of drinking all night long" came to my mind.

His eyes unconsciously glanced at the top of Sui Yuesheng's head, but this omega with an extremely irregular schedule not only has amazing hair volume, but also has light gray curly hair that is soft and shiny, and looks like he could be photographed in a shampoo commercial.

So Tao Fengche swallowed back the words that came to his lips.He couldn't think of a suitable entry angle, and he didn't know what kind of identity he should use to remind the other party. It was so strange to say such a sentence so suddenly.

It wasn't until Sui Yuesheng checked and recited and signed his dictation homework that Tao Fengche finally said, "Are you going back to the meeting later?"

"Hmm." Sui Yuesheng nodded, and drew a circle somewhere with a red pen, "Here is a typo, you made a mistake, and you will correct it later."

Tao Fengche: "..."

He really wanted to tell Sui Yuesheng that "one mistake and three corrections" is a popular way of correcting mistakes only among elementary school students. There is no such saying in high school. In such a situation, it is usually corrected next to the typo.But maybe because the atmosphere tonight was too harmonious, long-standing memories crept up again, and Tao Fengche remembered what he once taught Sui Yuesheng to read.

Ever since a tutor made suggestions on Tao Fengche's teaching methods, Tao Fengche humbly accepted and made corrections, and added an after-class spot check after dinner every day.As long as Sui Yuesheng made a typo, he would circle it with a red pen, and then ask Sui Yuesheng to rewrite the typo on the back of the page as the teacher asked him to do. Again, and finally take the exam again.

After years of separation, Tao Fengche wasn't sure whether Sui Yuesheng remembered these details from many years ago like him, or whether he forgot but was still affected to a certain extent, or whether he just said it casually.

But driven by a certain inexplicable thought, he not only nodded in agreement, but also honestly took the notebook back, and then, under the supervision of Sui Yuesheng, carefully wrote the fake characters with pens of different colors three times.

He selectively ignored Feng Hui's mood when he received this elementary school student's correction tomorrow.

"If you use false characters, you should write down what you mean, and the meaning of it." Sui Yuesheng stood behind his stool and pointed in the air.

Tao Fengche patiently followed suit, and in the huge room, apart from the shallow breathing of the two of them with a steady frequency, there was only the rustling sound of the pen tip passing across the paper, as if spring silkworms were gnawing on mulberry leaves.

The room was too quiet, Tao Fengche had nothing to say, "Is the legal team still waiting for you in the study?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Fengche wanted to swallow those words back.What kind of idiotic question are you asking?If it's not in the study, can it be somewhere else?

"Well, I asked Uncle Xu to bring some food in." Sui Yuesheng was obviously a little surprised, "Do you have anything to do with any of them? I'll let him come over later."

"...No." Tao Fengche shook his head, and handed him the corrected homework.

He actually wanted to ask Sui Yuesheng, didn't Xu Song deliver dinner two hours ago, why is he delivering food again now, is it because he was too busy and didn't have time to eat, or was he hungry again because of too much mental work?

But it always feels weird to ask this way.

Sui Yuesheng didn't know these twists and turns in Tao Fengche's mind, he was fully focused on Tao Fengche's homework, after checking again, he nodded with satisfaction, and instructed: "Go to bed early. "

It looks like I want to put an end to today's meeting.

"Hey!" Tao Fengche hesitated for a long time, but finally stopped him, then pulled open the drawer and looked inside.

The adolescent alpha always feels hungry frequently, and he thinks it is troublesome to go downstairs to look for food every time, so he simply puts some snacks in the drawer. After Xu Song knows this, he fills it from time to time Over time, it became a fixed food storage point, just like the tree hole where squirrels store food in winter.

Eat it at night, and you will be so hungry again... Tao Fengche searched for a long time, finally picked out two bags of biscuits, took some beef jerky and chocolate, grabbed them in his hand, and handed them to Sui Yuesheng, pretending to be casual: "You take it to eat."

Sui Yuesheng couldn't help but laugh.

To be honest, when Tao Fengche just opened the drawer, he thought he was going to draw a gun again.Who knew he was going to get food for himself.His heart felt sweet, and he was about to reach out to take it, when he heard Tao Fengche add another sentence.

"Don't give them points."

The tone is fierce, like a puppy protecting food.

"Okay, I won't give them any." Sui Yuesheng's heart was as soft as cotton candy, and after taking the snacks, he found that the chocolate still tasted like milk, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

After Sui Yue gave birth to the door, Tao Fengche lowered his head and stared at the drawer for a while, then took a piece of beef jerky and put it in his mouth, humming a song that was not tuned very much, went downstairs to exercise.

···

There is a saying in psychology called "21-day effect", which means that it takes at least 21 days for a person to form and consolidate a new habit or idea, and thus there are many "21 days to develop a good habit" chicken soup , but here with Tao Fengche, it doesn't even take a week to form a habit.

Starting from Monday, Sui Yuesheng came to his room to check his homework every night. Although the time was early and late, the day was not over.On Friday night, after Sui Yuesheng supervised Tao Fengche's endorsement as usual, he suddenly informed him that he was going on a business trip tomorrow and would not be back until next Tuesday, so he had to study hard for the next few days.

Tao Fengche: "..."

Sui Yuesheng's words didn't sound wrong, but Tao Fengche always felt that he was implying "even if I'm not at home, you kid, don't think about copying your homework", but compared to the anger caused by Sui Yuesheng's distrust, it was more What came to Tao Fengche's heart was a subtle discomfort.

No way, could it be that he really got used to it?

Tao Fengche immediately wanted to talk back, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them and nodded politely.

Sui Yuesheng was very satisfied, and added: "I will ask Uncle Xu to check your homework every day."

Tao Fengche: "?"

How come after one supervisor left, another one came?He is 17 now, not seven, is it necessary?

But now that Sui Yuesheng was on a business trip, and he was still thinking about his studies, Tao Fengche vaguely felt that he seemed to be really valued by the other party.

He was a little happy for no reason, so he nodded again.

The next morning, when Tao Fengche got up at eight o'clock, Sui Yuesheng was no longer in the house.

"I went to Taiqing on a business trip with the young master." That's what Xu Song said.

Taiqing...?That must be the northernmost part of Kyushu, one north and one south of Jingpu, why did Sui Yuesheng go there suddenly?

Tao Fengche was a little curious, but he didn't take it seriously. The Tao family had a big business. Tao Zhixing often flew between several continents during his lifetime. He was used to it, so he nodded and sat down. While eating porridge, Xu Song answered the phone, hurried to the door, and put a red invitation card in front of him.

"Young master, the old man of the Zhu family has sent us an invitation card for his [-]th birthday tonight." Xu Song looked distressed.

Tao Fengche has never attended these banquets very often. In the past, when Tao Zhixing was around, Tao Zhixing would only take him with him when invitations were sent by close relatives. Following this habit, Sui Yuesheng went alone to show his face at the birthday party of the youngest son of the Yu family some time ago.

But Sui Yuesheng will definitely not be able to attend the banquet tonight.

The Zhu family made their fortune in bathing, and they have nothing to do with the Tao family, and they are slightly lower than the Tao family in terms of size. Logically speaking, they can find any reason to push it away, but Sui Yuesheng went to Taiqing today.

If this matter were known to outsiders, it would be inevitable that some people would gossiping and say that no one in the Tao family would attend the banquet if Sui Yue was born in Jingpu. It is presumed that Tao Zhixing's only son was put under house arrest.

By mistake, this invitation turned out to be a temptation, but if it is used well, it might as well be an opportunity...

Tao Fengche pondered for a moment, then made a decision: "I'll go."
