Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

What, so it's just moving house...

Lu Ming raised his eyes to confirm with him again: "Is it because of this, Xiao Jun?"

Xie Chenjun didn't speak, and didn't dare to look at him.

"Just because of this? Are you sure there is nothing else... No one else has bullied you?"

Xie Chenjun nodded, then immediately shook his head and said, "No."

Lu Ming felt relieved, and began to think about how to appease a child who was about to move... But why is it so sad to just move?Is it because I can't play with this three-year-old kid in the future?

But there is a ten-year age difference between the two of them. Is it really called "playing" when the two of them are together, instead of him unilaterally "raising the child"? ?

At this moment, Xiao Yu pawed his thigh again, and muttered: "Brother Xiao Jun has moved, so, he can't come to class with me."

"Oh, that's it..."

Lu Ming suddenly realized.After Xie Chenjun moved, he stopped being neighbors with Xiaoyu, so he naturally had no reason to accompany him to piano lessons.

Lu Ming looked at him strangely, and found that the child's face was blushing a lot.

It turns out that he quite likes coming here... Or is it just because he is worried about this little guy and wants to keep an eye on him all the time?

Lu Ming stroked his chin thoughtfully, but he could understand the young man's mentality.Think about it, if Xiao Yu wants to be alone with an adult man other than himself occasionally, I'm afraid not only him, but Lu Ming himself will not feel at ease at all, right?

Lu Ming nodded and patted Xie Chenjun on the shoulder.The boy blushed even more, and looked up at him in bewilderment.

"It's all right," Lu Ming said with a relaxed smile, "don't be so nervous. I'll pick you up when Xiao Yu goes to class, okay? Anyway, you usually do your homework alone at home, right? I'll let you Huai Ya Auntie told your parents that in the future, when they are not at home, let you stay at Xiao Yu's house."

Then Lu Ming asked him where his family was going to move, it was not far from Lu Ming's house, but it was almost half a city away from Xiao Yu's house.

But Lu Ming accidentally made serious preparations to fulfill what he promised - he went to take the driver's license test at the speed of light, and then bought a car.From now on, every time he goes to class on weekends, he will pick up Xiao Yu first, and then pick up Xie Chenjun.

The two children's weekend time also changed from staying at Xiao Yu's house to spending most of their time with Lu Ming, even when they were not in class.

Lu Ming wanted to say that this is all right, his house has completely turned into a "nursery", and there is nothing more exciting than a single man with two little kids.

But that's what he asked for, isn't it?

And he seems to be having fun with it.

Teacher Lu's young apprentice is growing very fast, and he can see his progress almost every time he comes to class, and at the same time, his stature grows a little bit.

Xie Chenjun also comes to his house every weekend, usually with homework or books, while listening to the piano played by one big and one small, while doing his own things quietly.

Lu Ming almost "dotes on" Xiao Yu.It's snacks and toys, and they depend on him for everything except practicing the piano, and the gentle appearance towards him doesn't match his slightly rough appearance.

And these were all seen by Xie Chenjun, and his sense of alienation from Lu Ming seemed to melt away little by little.

It's just that he still doesn't talk to Lu Ming very much. Lu Ming thinks that he hasn't found a good way to communicate with adolescent children.

·

In fact, Xie Chenjun is no longer wary of him since the incident of moving, and sometimes he can even show a very cute expression in front of him, such as when eating the delicious cake he prepared.

But Lu Ming always felt that the young man's face was gloomy from time to time. Apart from his natural quiet personality, Lu Ming naturally thought that he might be unhappy at school or be bullied.

So there were a few times when Lu Ming drove the car quietly to stay outside Xie Chenjun's school.He stopped at a place where he could see the school gate from a distance but he should not be noticed, watched Xie Chenjun come out of the school, and then walked shoulder to shoulder with a group of friends towards the bus stop.

The bus will stop right at the gate of Xie Chenjun's residential area, and nothing will happen after arriving there.Lu Ming drove behind and saw Xie Chenjun walking into the gate of the community from a distance before leaving in peace.

But when he was with his friends, Xie Chenjun didn't seem to be very introverted, sometimes he would even talk and laugh with them, showing a sunny side that Lu Ming had never seen before.

Lu Ming rubbed his messy hair, puzzled.If you want to say that this kid hates you, he comes to your house every weekend; but if you say that you don't hate yourself, why does he hardly ever smile at himself...

Lu Ming, a big man who claims to be rough, never thought that one day he would be trapped by this kind of problem.

But he couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.What to do in daily life, he is decadent when no one is around, and becomes a "super dad" when the two children arrive on weekends, and he has found a lot of fun in the peaceful life day after day.

When Xiao Yu started preparing for elementary school, Xie Chenjun also entered high school.The soft and cute little bun in the past has become a little devil in the world, and he has a passionate match with Lu Ming when he has nothing to do; and Lu Ming's home has officially changed from a "nursery" to a "self-study room". With the two children doing their homework, they are very responsible in all aspects.

Sometimes Huai Ya would come to his house to help tidy up, she felt really sorry to leave both children to him.

"It's really troublesome for you," Huai Ya said shyly, "but Xiao Yu just likes to stay with you, so it's useless to say anything about him..."

"It's okay." Lu Ming brushed back his slightly curly hair, which was longer than before, "I like children too, at least it's much easier than dealing with adults, isn't it?"

He was leaning on the sofa, with long legs, still dressed loosely and casually, with a lollipop in his mouth. He usually doesn't smoke when there are children around.

"Yeah, children are simple, but my family is naughty." Huai Ya glanced at Xiao Yu who was like a little monkey, "If you are as quiet as Xiao Jun, you will be more at ease, right?"

"It's okay, it's okay," Lu Ming smiled and waved his hands, "All kinds of children are cute. I like Xiaojun very much, and I like Xiaoyu too, as long as you don't yell so anxiously when you play the piano—ouch! "

He waved his hand in front of Xiao Yu, and was bitten by that brat.

"Why are you biting people again! Puppy you!"

Lu Ming shook off him, but Xiao Yu was still grinning at him.

"Xiao Yu! How could you bite Teacher Lu!" Huai Ya saw this scene for the first time, and was shocked, "Xiao Ming, on your hands, are these scars—"

There are a few faintly visible tooth marks on Lu Ming's arm. Huai Ya didn't ask about it at first, thinking that it was some "unspeakable" marks of an adult... It turned out that her son bit it? !

"Hahahaha, it's okay," Lu Ming laughed heartily, "It's just his small teeth, which don't hurt at all. Well, this mark was left when he was five years old, this one was last year, this one seems to be last month—"

"My God!" Huai Ya was stunned.

"This is Teacher Lu's military medal, hahaha," Lu Ming rubbed Xiaoyu's head lovingly, but he deliberately held him down so that he could not scratch himself, "You will get more trophies than these in the future Huh? Otherwise, teacher, I will give you a brain bang for just one tooth mark—”

Xiaoyu wanted to fight him again.When boys grow up, there are always moments when they want to rebel against males who are older than themselves.That's what Lu Ming thought. He felt that this "big disciple who opened the door" was very promising.

·

In contrast, Xie Chenjun was still so quiet.Recently, his studies have been heavy, and he is even more reticent than before.

No one noticed that Xie Chenjun's face was blushing a lot just now.He was doing his homework quietly at the side, while Huai Ya was still busy in the living room, preventing Xiao Yu from going to Lu Ming to fight, and at the same time tidying up the messy music score.

"Xiao Ming, have you thought about recruiting more students?" Huai Ya said suddenly.

"Huh? Recruiting students again? Why?"

He didn't really like little kids in the first place, except for the two sitting in his living room now.

"You teach Xiao Yu so well, the neighbors in the neighborhood are asking me which teacher you are looking for. They really want me to help you introduce them. If you have no objection——"

"Hey, I actually don't want to teach too many students," Lu Ming said, leaning on his arm. "Xiaoyu plays well because he is talented. It's the same with other teachers."

"But if you have more students, your income will be higher, right?"

"Hahaha, I'm not short of money~"

"..."

Lu Ming sat up, looked a little more serious, and said, "I can't teach more students, right? These two little guys are coming on weekends, and don't the kids have to go to class on weekdays? There aren't many times they can come, right?"

That's right, even Xiao Yu, after starting school, reduced the number of classes during the working day from three to two.

In this way, there are only three nights on weekdays where I can teach other students. Even if I want to bring more students, I can only have one or two more students.

"Actually, the children are fine," Huai Ya said, "Elementary school students don't have to go to class at night. Like Xiao Jun, he may have to study by himself in high school at night, so he really can't come to learn the piano at night..."

Huai Ya just said casually, but Lu Ming frowned.He asked Xie Chenjun, "Have you started studying by yourself at night?"

Xie Chenjun looked at him nervously, and nodded: "Yes. The next semester will start making up classes on Saturday, so..."

"so?"

Xie Chenjun shook his head and lowered his head to do his homework.

Lu Ming struggled at home for a long time, but he was still worried after thinking about it.

Ever since he heard that Xie Chenjun was going to study by himself at night, he began to worry.Although Xie Chenjun's stature has increased a lot in the past two years, and now it has reached his chest, but whenever he thinks of what happened a few years ago, he scratches his heart and lungs, fearing that the tearful appearance of that child will appear in his eyes again. before.

So he inquired about the time of Xie Chenjun's self-study next night from Huai Ya - she and Xie Chenjun's mother are still good best friends and keep in touch with each other often - and found out that he usually rides a bicycle home at night, because he takes the bus to go home It will not run until after ten o'clock in the evening.

But that's even more dangerous.Leaving aside that it is not safe to ride a bicycle at night, what if Xie Chenjun is such a handsome and handsome boy, walking at night alone, what if he is targeted by bad guys?What's more, there is a long road away from his home, with no street lights...

So Lu Ming decided to be a "flower protector" for a while, and he did so for several months.

·

In those days, when the school was about to end at night, Lu Ming would drive his car and stop not far away.Xie Chenjun was not riding fast, so he followed him unhurriedly, escorting him all the way back.

Several times he felt that Xie Chenjun might have found him, after all Lu Ming still had to turn on the headlights on those dark roads.But Xie Chenjun never sped up and ran away, as if he knew that the person in the car behind him was not a bad person.

But one day in September, Xie Chenjun looked back casually as usual, but still rode slowly—such a simple action made Lu Ming suddenly feel uneasy, and he suddenly had an idea: If he always secretly protects Xie Chenjun like this, will it weaken his vigilance instead?

What if it was not Lu Ming who followed him but someone else, and Xie Chenjun was so defenseless, would it be an opportunity for people to take advantage of it?

Lu Ming felt a chill in his heart.He remembered that when they were in the country a few years ago, they sat together and read a book every day. What was Xie Chenjun's impression of him at that time?Is it a seemingly "strong and terrible" adult male who is unexpectedly "gentle-tempered" with children?

Is it just this kind of experience that made Xie Chenjun let go of his guard against other grown men? ?

Especially Xie Lao Wu, who is his distant relative? ? ?

Lu Ming's heart beat faster.He never thought that maybe he was the "culprit" of that incident back then.

Although people should not be judged by their appearance, for vulnerable groups like children, there is always nothing wrong with being more prepared.

It's possible for ordinary-looking people to do bad things, but a tall and powerful adult man like him has to be on his guard.

He felt that what he should teach the children was this, instead of blindly protecting them and being good to them...

Lu Ming gripped the steering wheel and fell into deep thought, not noticing that a person was approaching his car not far away.

Someone knocked on the car window, and Lu Ming woke up suddenly.

Xie Chenjun's face suddenly appeared outside the window on the side of the co-pilot:

"Miss Lu—are you okay?"
