cold lover

In the study room, the lights were not turned on, and there was only a little scarlet fire that flickered on and off, indicating that someone was immersed in the darkness.

In fact, Tan Jizhong doesn't smoke much at ordinary times, and only occasionally lights up a loose thinking when writing a book is not going well, but no matter how much he smokes tonight, it won't help.

Leaning against the window, through the weak light of the wall lamp in the living room, Tan Jizhong could clearly see the tightly closed door on the opposite side, that was Xiao Nuo's room, at this moment it was like Xiao Nuo's closed heart, he could see clearly but couldn't get close .

Unexpectedly, after a few days of painstaking efforts, he was beaten back to his original shape in an instant.Tan Jizhong took a deep breath to expel the stale air in his lungs, wringed out the cigarette butt, took out his mobile phone and dialed the number.

"Hello, brother, why are you calling so late?" The call was connected, and Tan Qingchen's hoarse voice sounded sleepy.

"What happened to your throat?"

"It's too dry here, there's no water to drink."

"Well, pay attention to yourself." Tan Jizhong turned around and looked out the window, "Xiao Chen, how much do you know about Xiao Nuo?"

"Why did you ask suddenly? Actually, I don't know much. He never tells others about himself. But once I peeked at his resume, he didn't fill in the information of his parents. Although he filled in his home address, But I haven't seen him back for such a long time, and the phone calls are rare, so I thought his parents might..."

Tan Qingchen groaned, did not say anything, hesitated for a while and continued: "Brother, Nuonuo is quite big, you can see, he dropped out of high school. There is one more thing, when he was a freshman , Someone came to him, and I overheard their conversation... Nuonuo, Nuonuo seems to have been in prison, maybe I heard it wrong, because there is no such thing in Nuonuo's file."

Tan Jizhong pursed his lips and said nothing, but his eyebrows furrowed and deepened.

Tan Qingchen thought that his brother had a grievance in his heart, and raised his voice anxiously, "Brother, Nuonuo is a very nice person, you have been with him for more than ten days, you should be able to feel it, no matter what happened before, you can't represent the present."

"Don't get excited, you just want to know more about him because you know he's good." Tan Jizhong comforted him.

"Oh." Hearing what his brother said, Tan Qingchen sat up from the bed and lay down again with peace of mind. "Actually, Nuonuo is cold on the outside, but he is very warm inside. No matter what he does or says, he will think about it first." other people."

"En." He also expected Xiao Nuo to be like this.And Xiao Nuo's indifference is not because he rejects others, but just to close himself off.

"Well... brother, it may be a bit strange to say this, I always think that the two of you are very suitable to be friends. Although you behave differently, you feel very warm. It's just that Nuo Nuo is a let down compared to you. A person who is at ease but not at ease, I am always worried that he will disappear without a trace in the next second."

Tan Jizhong understood Tan Qingchen's concerns very well, because he actually experienced it once today.

"Don't worry, he won't disappear, and I won't let him disappear."

"Yeah!" Tan Qingchen laughed. Although it was just a sentence, his brother's words made him feel very at ease.

Tan Jizhong was a little amused, "Tan Qingchen, so you are not so heartless."

"Go, I despise you, it's rare for someone to say something emotional and pour cold water on it."

Tan Jizhong chuckled, "Okay, it's late, go to bed quickly, I will take good care of Xiao Nuo."

Hearing that it was late, Tan Qingchen realized that he was sleepy. He yawned and said, "Well, brother, you should stay up less late, and go to bed quickly, good night."

After hanging up the phone, Tan Jizhong lost his expression, his brows gradually furrowed.

What kind of past did Xiao Nuo have that led to such a depressing life, it was like living while hating himself.

With a faint sigh, Tan Jizhong looked up at the dark night sky, deep in thought.

Xiao Nuo's tutoring work started today, he arrived at Fang's house early, even though it was still [-] o'clock in the morning, his back was wet with sweat.After the heavy rain a few days ago, the temperature has risen a few degrees significantly.

Xiao Nuo adjusted his breathing and pressed the doorbell. It didn't take long for someone to answer the door. It was a middle-aged man in his 40s, neatly dressed, and he seemed to be ready to go to work.

"Morning, Mr. Fang." Xiao Nuo spoke first.

"It's Teacher Xiao, good morning, please come in." Fang Zhiming greeted him kindly.

Xiao Nuo smiled politely and walked in, and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy sitting at the dining table, who should be Fang Zian who he wanted to tutor.

Fang Zian pretended not to hear the noise, and just kept his head down to eat breakfast.

Seeing this, Fang Zhiming smiled embarrassedly and said, "This kid has just finished the exam, and he hasn't recovered yet." Then he turned to Fang Zian and said sharply, "Xiao An, come here quickly, I have seen Teacher Xiao."

Fang Zian stood up reluctantly, and said weakly, "Hello, Teacher Xiao."

Fang Zhiming was slightly annoyed, but it was hard to show it when there were outsiders, so he could only sigh softly, "You have to study hard at home, and Dad is going to work first." Seeing Fang Zian nodding, he smiled and said to Xiao Nuo, "Mr. Xiao, work hard in the future." is you."

Xiao Nuo nodded and smiled lightly.

After Fang Zhiming left, Fang Zian sat back at the dining table with his head down, not knowing what he was doing.

Xiao Nuo ignored him, and went straight to the sofa with the bag.

Fang Zian is obviously a self-respecting and arrogant child in the rebellious period, Xiao Nuo didn't want to start accommodating him at the first step.

Originally the class time was set at nine o'clock, but it was almost halfway through and there was no movement from Xiao Nuo, Fang Zian couldn't bear to wait, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you going to class?"

Xiao Nuo looked down at the courseware and said, "I'm waiting for you to get ready."

The lukewarm tone made Fang Zian feel angry, and his tone became harsh, "Tch, what is there to prepare for the last class, it's not like I haven't attended it before."

Only then did Xiao Nuo raise his head and look at him, "It's good to have this confidence."

It sounded like praise, but there was no expression of praise on his face. This contrast made Fang Zian feel underestimated. He snorted softly and entered the study.

Xiao Nuo frowned slightly looking at that arrogant figure.

The tutoring time is only one and a half months. According to common sense, it should target the weaknesses and blind spots of the students.

But Xiao Nuo believes that Fang Zian himself is a top student in a first-class high school, and there is no weakness or blind spot for him. Mistakes in answering questions are nothing more than a lack of comprehensive way of thinking, or some knowledge points are fixed in thinking and go astray. If the time is free, it can definitely be solved.Therefore, he wanted to learn about Fang Zian's thinking mode through some simple content in the first few lessons.

An hour later, Fang Zian's sense of superiority soared. Seeing Xiao Nuo's air, he thought that the lectures would be different, coming and going were the same simple things that were taught in the previous classes.

Fang Zian lost interest and leaned back in his chair to yawn.Xiao Nuo still lectured calmly, not paying attention to his small movements.

Unexpectedly, it was such a ignoring attitude, Fang Zian was so provoked that he was mad, and angrily lifted his foot directly on the table.

Xiao Nuo put down the textbook, with a serious expression, "Put your feet down."

Finally getting Xiao Nuo's attention, Fang Zian circled his chest and continued to provoke, "It's so comfortable."

"Say it again, put your feet down." Xiao Nuo's face was expressionless, and his voice was as cold as ice.

Feeling a strong icy breath, Fang Zian's throat twitched, then he thought that Xiao Nuo was just a tutor hired by his family, and he didn't dare to do anything to him, so he raised his chin and looked back at Xiao Nuo and said , "don't..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Nuo's clenched fist was already swung at him, the speed was too fast, before Fang Zian could see it clearly, he felt that his body suddenly lost its center of gravity, and his whole body was thrown backwards.He screamed in panic, and grabbed his hands unconsciously. Just when he thought he was going to hit the ground hard, his hand was grabbed and pulled back forcefully.

"There will be a next time, and the consequences will be borne by yourself." Xiao Nuo said coldly, let him go out of the study.

The whole process took place within a few seconds. Fang Zian was still in shock, panting with his mouth slightly open.

When he came back to his senses and stood up and wanted to question him, he found that the back of the chair fell where he was about to bump into at that moment. Fang Zian was so surprised that he couldn't speak. How much force did he use to break the solid wood? Damn, if that punch hit him just now... Thinking of this, Fang Zian's heart would start pounding again just after he regained his composure.

Suddenly, I thought of the last sentence Xiao Nuo said, which meant that next time, would it really be me who was lying there?Fang Zian swallowed his saliva, and his tone didn't sound like a joke.

After being taught a lesson, Fang Zian was even threatened in the end. Losing face, Fang Zian rushed into the living room and saw Xiao Nuo was about to open the door with his bag on his back, so he sneered, "It's not time for get out of class to end yet, Mr. Xiao."

"Today's tutorial is over, the rest of the time is self-study." Xiao Nuo didn't turn his head.

"Hmph, are you going to leave after being dismounted? You are very good at establishing dignity."

Xiao Nuo turned around and looked at Fang Zian who was squinting at him, "Feel embarrassed?"

"..." Fang Zian was speechless, and his face flushed with anger.

"The embarrassment is all given by yourself. If you don't learn to think from the perspective of others, what kind of response do you expect from others, except those around you who care about you, who will tolerate your self."

No one had ever given him such a straightforward criticism, Fang Zian looked away in embarrassment.

"You should think carefully about what you bring to others when they pay for you." Xiao Nuo said indifferently, then opened the door and walked out.

Fang Zian stood in place, staring at the closed door, his ears filled with Xiao Nuo's words, he gradually became agitated, raised his hand to wipe his face, but saw some dried blood on the back of his hand.
