does he love me that much

Chi Ning took the conversation in the stairwell to heart, but Cen Mingsen never approached him in private, so it was impossible to say whether he avoided it or not.He still spends time in various classrooms all day long, and spends some time in the evening to live broadcast.

Since the platform intervened to reduce the popularity, his live broadcast career has been calm. Chi Ning attributed this to his lack of proficiency in playing, the monotonous music library, and he studied more seriously in class.

Before the live broadcast at night, he found a handy tool to grind the calluses on his hands.The phone buzzed and vibrated a few times. He opened it and saw that it was a message from Song Xiaoyi, explaining that he was asking for leave for vocal music class tomorrow.

He replied "OK" as usual, put the phone on the stand, and opened the live broadcast page.

After the live broadcast, Chi Ning put down the guitar and turned on the playback to check whether the plucking gestures and the tune were out of tune.Looking at it, I was attracted by the barrage, and exaggerated praises, all of which started with "cute and good boy".

Chi Ning is familiar with this appellation. The account name he chose for himself is "Ning Ning".

Later, I don’t know who created a "cute and good boy", and after several days of scrolling on the barrage, all kinds of nicknames gradually disappeared and reached a unified.

Chi Ning looked left and right in the mirror of the mobile phone, swayed from different angles, and carefully observed his face, which seemed a little cute.He felt disgusted, because he was not fierce at all, and had no deterrent effect.

Chi Ning frowned, grinning and approaching the screen...

He was so immersed in the role-playing that he didn't even pay attention to Liang Xingye pushing the door in. He was enjoying himself so much.

From the beginning of winter, my aunt used to warm Chi Ning with a cup of milk before going to bed.Liang Xingye minded that there were outsiders in the family, and he didn't hire a helper during the time he lived in Daping. After moving to the villa, his life scope expanded, and he hired a tutor for Chi Ning. Taking him out to eat every day was time-consuming and troublesome, so he asked the secretary to arrange I got an aunt.

The aunt is gentle and careful, and meets Chi Ning in the morning and evening. When Chi Ning is free, she will take the initiative to chat with her, chatting all over the place, and helping her with work.

Over time, my aunt cared more about him than Liang Xingye, her employer.He will remind Chi Ning to add clothes and reduce clothes according to the weather, talk all day to let him eat more and drink more soup, and feel sorry for the obvious height difference between him and Liang Xingye, and put a glass of milk every night on the agenda.

When Liang Xingye came back from the company at night, he happened to see his aunt carrying milk upstairs, so he took the hand and came to the study to find Chi Ning.

The milk cup was boiling hot, and the rich milk fragrance wafted away. Leaning against the wall, Liang Xingye couldn't help laughing as he watched Chi Ning stretch his teeth and claws in front of the mirror.

Hearing the sound, Chi Ning turned his head, looked at Liang Xingye's smiling eyes, and felt the embarrassment and embarrassment of being caught on the spot, "Why didn't you knock on the door?"

"Knock, you didn't hear it." Liang Xingye handed him the milk and asked with great interest, "What are you playing?"

Chi Ning took a sip from the cup, stuck out his tongue after being burned, and answered Liang Xingye: "Cat."

"A cat that roars?"

Chi Ning confessed guiltyly: "It's the tiger who lied to you."

Liang Xingye laughed. He deliberately controlled the volume at first, but then gradually lost control. His ups and downs of laughter echoed in the study, and Chi Ning sulked with his head down.

Liang Xingye laughed for a long time.The temperature of the milk cup was lost in his hand, Chi Ning said, "Don't laugh."

The laughter stopped for a moment, and then it started again.

"Watched it from Animal Channel?" Liang Xingye rubbed Chi Ning's head, "It's pretty similar."

Chi Ning became angry and knocked off his hand, then thought of something serious, hesitated for a few seconds, and put his hand back on his head.

Liang Xingye: "What's wrong?"

Chi Ning asked tangledly, "Why do I have to pay taxes?"

During his live broadcast, his traffic was low, and the platform did not pay his salary, mainly relying on rewards. Up to now, his income is still reasonable.But when the cash was withdrawn, it was shown that taxes would be deducted, so Chi Ning opened the personal center to show Liang Xingye.

His profile picture was taken by Liang Xingye casually. In the coffee shop, he rested his face on his hands while waiting for dessert, and peeked at the intricately decorated silver coffee spoon next to Liang Xingye's plate.

Chi Ning pulled out the reminder and muttered, "I'm a little bit reluctant to deduct a lot of money."

Liang Xingye said earnestly: "Chi Ning, paying taxes is the obligation of every citizen. Your mentality will not work. Taxes and fees can be used to improve people's livelihood..."

"citizen?"

It's too complicated for him to understand. Liang Xingye briefly summed it up, "It refers to everyone."

Chi Ning: "But I'm not human."

Liang Xingye paused, looked into his eyes, "Do you want to be a mermaid?"

"No," Chi Ning said, "well, I'm human."

After withdrawing the cash, under Liang Xingye's popular science, Chi Ning had a better understanding of tax payment behavior.He used the money he got to buy a cup for Liang Xingye and a pen for Song Xiaoyi.

When going to Cen's house for class, Chi Ning thought about giving it to her, but when he looked at the schedule, he found that she would only come for the vocal music class in the evening.

Song Xiaoyi is in high school, so she can only receive training in her spare time.Chi Ning's courses are different from hers, they are more complicated, they only overlap vocal music and guitar lessons.

In winter, it gets dark early, and in the evening, the setting sun has exhausted its light, leaving only a hazy silhouette hanging high in the sky.

After eating dinner, Chi Ning strolled to the backyard to hug the rabbit, saw Xie Nuo's jumping figure from a distance, and thought of her brother's cold face, Chi Ning turned a corner and walked to the corner of the rockery where few people go.

The rockery has sufficient water, moss grows, and contains tiny creatures. Ant nests are stationed in the hollow part. Chi Ning likes to watch the ants move, and often squats on the ground. It takes half an hour to see.

Approaching the rockery, Chi Ning slowed down, as if someone was crying, from choking to sobbing, accompanied by the sound of sniffling.

Chi Ning stopped by the bushes following the sound, and saw Song Xiaoyi squatting in the shade, her down jacket and hat covered her face, her shoulders shrugged slightly.

In the past, when she hadn't come at this point, Chi Ning squatted beside her, showing worry, "What's wrong with you?"

Song Xiaoyi ignored him, but her sobbing became quieter and her shoulders no longer shrugged.

Chi Ning squatted quietly, looking at the yellow and white dogtail grass in the gap of the wooden fence, shaking in the wind, suddenly bent down and fell to the ground, and continued to shake with the wind.

His legs were numb from squatting, Chi Ning took out the pen from his coat pocket, stuffed it into Song Xiaoyi's hand, and said softly, "Do you remember the live broadcast I told you? Someone rewarded me, so I bought it for you A little gift."

Song Xiaoyi clenched her pen tightly, but still didn't respond.

Like his brother comforting him in the sea, Chi Ning patted Song Xiaoyi's back lightly, rhythmically.

"Song Xiaoyi, don't cry," he said, "I'll buy you another pen tomorrow."

Tears splashed on the pen cap, one after another, the gray down jacket was soaked, and the sobbing that was finally suppressed intensified.

The setting sun was falling from the treetops, and there was a chill in the shade. Xie Nuo was probably chasing a rabbit, and his crisp smile was sometimes near and far away, occasionally mixed with an angry "Don't follow me".

He was talking to the nanny. Chi Ning hated Xie Xin, but he had to admit that he loved his sister from the bottom of his heart. He made people follow him every step of the way, and played with her whenever he had time.

He knew that Song Xiaoyi also had an older brother who was learning to play drums here, but he would only take the lead in bullying her.Chi Ning bumped into him and helped to block him. Her brother didn't dare to do anything to him, so he bullied him while he was away.

Xie Nuo seemed to be running this way, Chi Ning wanted to cover up her laughter, so she said to Song Xiaoyi: "You were bullied, right?"

Song Xiaoyi flinched subconsciously, raised her head, showing her wet face, "No."

She was very thin, with a hoarse voice, and there seemed to be a turbulent undercurrent hidden under her calm face.

Chi Ning looked at her, and the abnormal phenomenon of always asking for leave and the classroom door being locked several times appeared in his mind.He turned back at night and saw Song Xiaoyi squatting alone in the classroom crying, as if she had been beaten, asked her but refused to tell.

Trivial details are listed one by one.So Song Xiaoyi was always the last one to leave, even if she went out with him, she would go to the bathroom to let him leave first.

The vocal music classroom is at the end of the corridor, and there is a glass door at the end, which opens into the backyard, making it easy to enter and exit.Only that room on the first floor is used for class, and the rest are either empty or play musical instruments. After class, it is like a wasteland, and it has been specialized in sound absorption. It is a perfect venue for bullying.

Chi Ning speculated, "You were bullied in the classroom, so you don't want to..."

Song Xiaoyi interrupted him abruptly: "No, don't talk nonsense!"

Chi Ning was taken aback, and it took a while for his tensed back to relax.

The street lights came on one after another, Chi Ning moved his numb calf, and whispered: "If you don't resist, your brother will always bully you."

Song Xiaoyi was stunned, silent for a long time, and replied: "Understood."

After a pause, he said, "Let's go, it's time to go to class."

The two got up and went back to the classroom.Going around from behind the rockery, Chi Ning ran into Xie Nuo head-on, he quickly supported him, and at the same time vigilantly searched for Xie Xin's figure, but found nothing.

Chi Ning breathed a sigh of relief and told her not to run so fast that she would fall easily.

Xie Nuo's grape-like eyes were shining, and he called Brother Chi Ning and Sister Song Xiaoyi, asking what they were doing and if they could play with her.

Before they could answer, the nanny interrupted and told Xie Nuo that it was time to go back to Xie's house, and Xie Chuan was waiting for her to eat at home.

Xie Nuo has been staying at Cen's house for a long time these days. The last time her uncle brought her over to visit, he saw that a female rabbit was pregnant, and casually said that she would give birth to cubs.

Xie Nuo was overwhelmed with curiosity, afraid of missing the scene of giving birth to a baby rabbit, he ran straight to the backyard of Cen's house as soon as he came back from the kindergarten.Xie Xin got annoyed, said hello to Cen Mingsen, and brought the pregnant rabbit back to Xie's house.

Suddenly changed to a new environment, the rabbit had a stress response, Xie Nuo was so anxious that he had no choice but to send it back to the original place.

Xie Nuo talked about coming over to see the baby rabbit after dinner, the nanny agreed with a smile, coaxed her softly, and led her away.

Chi Ning and Song Xiaoyi stood on the steps and watched. Xie Nuo was wearing a pink sweater jacket with a lotus leaf skirt, and his short legs were bouncing around, which was very cute.

After a while, the pink and white sweater jacket was covered by the bushes, Chi Ning looked away and caught a glimpse of Song Xiaoyi in a daze, his eyes were empty and unfocused, like a puppet controlled by silk threads.

She turned and stepped into the corridor, walking like a puppet, Chi Ning followed, and continued the topic just now, "Haven't you thought about a solution?"

Song Xiaoyi lowered her head and stared at the constantly advancing toes, "What's the solution?"

"The way not to be bullied."

"What bullying? No one bullies me." Song Xiaoyi said.

Chi Ning stopped speaking. Liang Xingye taught him that when encountering problems, he must first find out the problem and then solve it.

He knew about Song Xiaoyi's family situation, and he didn't resist, perhaps because he was afraid of causing more serious bullying.Song Xiaoyi's brother Chi Ning also had the impression that he was domineering in private, but he was very obedient in front of Teacher Cen.

The identity of uncle and teacher seems to be able to suppress him. If Teacher Cen comes forward, Song Xiaoyi's situation will turn around.But in order to eliminate the source of being bullied, it is best to find strong evidence.

Chi Ning was sitting in the classroom, absent-minded in the vocal music class, looking around, his eyes fixed on the monitor that had been broken for a long time.

After class, everyone left one after another. After a while, only Chi Ning and Song Xiaoyi were left flipping through the music score.Chi Ning turned on the camera function, swayed to the window to pretend to watch the weather, and used the cover of the table to secretly jam the phone with a multimedia device.

Then she said to Song Xiaoyi, "I'll go first."

He went out and waited in the stairwell.He knew that Cen Mingsen had a habit of staying in the office late every day, and he was famous for being serious and responsible.As soon as the classroom door was closed, he went to find Cen Mingsen, and then broke into the door to get the evidence.

Chi Ning looked into the corridor from time to time, and was afraid of scaring the snake, so he lengthened the timeline.There is a window in the stairwell, and you can see the view of the front yard. He was a little nervous, resting his hands on the window sill, his eyes jumping.

He was about to inquire about the situation in the classroom, when he suddenly saw someone not far away wearing a familiar gray down jacket, hunching his neck and walking towards the door. It looked like Song Xiaoyi.

Chi Ning ran out of the stairwell, and when he passed the door of the classroom, he didn't notice that the door was closed, and the light was flowing out from the gap at the bottom.

He caught up with Song Xiaoyi by the flowerbed, Song Xiaoyi stopped in her tracks, her face was hidden in the down jacket hat, "Didn't you go home?"

"Where's your brother?" Chi Ning asked.

"I didn't come today, what's the matter?"

He wanted to tell Song Xiaoyi the plan, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up. Song Xiaoyi was introverted and less courageous than him, and would only increase his worry, so he found an excuse to evade it.

The plan fell through, and Chi Ning went back to the classroom to get his mobile phone. Liang Xingye sent him a message in advance, saying that he would pick him up at night, but it would be delayed for a while. Calculating the time, it should be here soon.

The classroom door was ajar, and Chi Ning pushed it open, stunned for a moment.

Xie Nuo fell asleep lying on the table in the first row, with flushed cheeks, holding the rabbit in his hands, as if he was tired from playing, but the nanny was nowhere to be seen.

This classroom is at the end of the corridor. The glass door at the end opens to the backyard. Rabbits like to run around. Maybe she got rid of the nanny and followed the rabbit to play here. Because the common classrooms are basically set up upstairs, only this room is used on the first floor. Vocal music class, the location is remote, no one found it for a while.

Chi Ning called Xie Nuo a few words but did not wake him up, so he went to the multimedia equipment to get his mobile phone.The camera was still shooting at the desk, Chi Ning pressed pause, clicked delete and accidentally pulled to the progress bar.

Cen Mingsen suddenly appeared in the screen, strode into the classroom, and locked the door behind him in a smooth manner.His eyes slid over Xie Nuo who was lying on his stomach, looking around as if looking for someone, and then showed dissatisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, Cen Mingsen turned his eyes back to Xie Nuo's flushed face, his expression was complicated, his dissatisfaction turned into hesitation...

Chi Ning sensed something was wrong and frowned and stared at the screen.

The video was stuck in circles due to insufficient memory, and the angle was not good. Cen Mingsen's face looked inexplicably weird. Chi Ning paused and opened it again, wanting to watch the follow-up. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a shadow appearing under his feet, approaching like a snake.

Chi Ning's fingers froze, and they were stretched infinitely in just a few seconds.

The small white and gray circles are spinning happily on the screen; the cold light of the white woven lamp is reflected by the mirror, which is vicious and dazzling; the wind that penetrates through the window crack brings a biting chill.

There was no sound in the classroom, and it was so quiet that the shadow approached step by step, devouring the tiles under his feet, biting the hem of the curtains, and climbing up.

The heart was beating violently in the chest cavity, coldness poured from Chi Ning's heart into his limbs, and the moment the shadow covered the top of his head, he quickly put the phone to his ear, controlling his voice not to tremble, "Hey, Liang Xingye, you are here to pick me up ?"

He turned around with his head down and walked away, passing by Cen Mingsen with a gloomy face. Chi Ning relaxed a little, took a step, and suddenly stretched out a hand in front of him, stopping him like an iron bar.

Chi Ning gripped the phone so hard that his knuckles turned white. He smiled and greeted him countless times before, "Hello, Mr. Cen."

Then he said to the screen where the video was stuck, "Yes, I'm in the vocal music classroom, come out right away."

The multimedia equipment is five or six meters away from the classroom entrance, and the eyes glued to his back are as real as they are. Chi Ning's heartbeat is like a drum, and his chest is about to be hammered. The hand in his coat pocket trembles slightly. Pretend to move forward calmly.

Walking to the first row at the door of the classroom, he saw Xie Nuo.

Xie Nuo was still sleeping, his pink and white sweater coat was crumpled, his cheeks were flushed, his eyelashes were as thick as a fan, and he was cute and innocent.

The distorted shadow under his feet seemed to move. Chi Ning suppressed his trembling voice and turned to the phone: "Are you with Xie Xin? His sister is here too."

The shadow suddenly approached.

With just one step, Chi Ning can step out of the classroom, the glass door is open, the backyard is empty, and there are plenty of places to hide.But he heard the sound of rubbing clothes in the video.

Subtle and malicious.

"Okay," said Chi Ning, "then I'll take her out."

He quickly bent down to hug Xie Nuo, but Cen Mingsen was faster than him, grabbed his neck and pressed it on the table, Chi Ning shook his hand, and the phone fell down.

Cen Mingsen scanned the screen, and his expression became fierce in an instant.

The moment the phone fell on the table, Xie Nuo was startled awake and rubbed his eyes blankly.Cen Mingsen subconsciously relaxed, and Chi Ning shouted: "Liang Xingye!"

When Cen Mingsen turned his head, Chi Ning took the opportunity to kick him away, got out of the classroom, and ran desperately to the backyard.

Chi Ning ran wildly, passing through the backyard like the wind, past the flower beds and bushes, and only dared to look back when he was approaching the gate of the villa. Cen Mingsen did not catch up.

He leaned on his knees to breathe heavily, wiped the sweat off his face, his hands and legs were shaking uncontrollably.

Almost all the people had left, the place was empty, and there was a full moon in the sky, exuding a cold air.He seized the time to run to the gate, but suddenly stopped.

Beside the security booth, stood Cen Mingsen, frowning and talking to several security guards, while constantly scanning the surrounding environment.

Immediately afterwards, the security guards scattered away, and one of them came towards Chi Ning.

Chi Ning turned around and ran away.

The security guard pointed at Chi Ning's back and shouted, "Hey, where is the person!"

Chi Ning's heart skipped a beat, and then he heard the chaotic footsteps chasing after him, and he gritted his teeth to speed up.

Compared with the backyard, there are more classrooms in the villa, and it will take a lot of time to search. Chi Ning rushed into the stairwell in a panic.

The sound of chasing was getting closer, and Chi Ning hid in the storage room with his head depressed.There are cleaning tools in the storage room, and the mop is still dripping, splashing on the porcelain white floor tiles, making it dirty.

He used his hands and feet to squeeze into the bottom of the cabinet in the corner. The bottom of the cabinet was narrow, and it seemed that he couldn't hide people, but he was thin and his body was soft, so he could hide just right.

He held his breath, listening to the footsteps walking back and forth outside the door, and then heard someone pushing the door open, "Hey, it's really strange, I saw him running this way, why is there nowhere?"

The man rummaged around, suddenly stopped moving, breathing heavily, "I saw you, come out."

Chi Ning pressed his face to the ground, watching the drops of water on the mop drip down, and slowly adjusted his breathing with the splashing movement.

Cen Mingsen's voice suddenly sounded outside, "Have you found it?"

"No, but I've searched all over the place, logically speaking, it's most likely hidden here..."

"Go look in the stairwell."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

The door was closed with a "creak", and the sound of chaotic footsteps and conversations gradually disappeared, as if the place had been abandoned.

But Chi Ning was still curled up and lying on his stomach, counting the falling water drops one by one, his cheeks were so frozen by the ground that he lost consciousness.

In the quiet storage room, he heard the heavy breathing finally rise and fall, and muttered, "Not really."

Open the door this time and really leave.

Chi Ning waited for a while before leaving the storage room.He turned around and walked around to the servant's room. After vigilantly confirming safety, he knocked on the door.

The fat aunt's face was exposed through the crack of the door. It was the aunt in charge of cleaning. Chi Ning had been helping her collect empty bottles.She recognized Chi Ning and said in surprise, "Ning Ning?"

Chi Ning was so anxious that sweat broke out on his face, "Auntie, can you lend me your mobile phone to call me?"

"Okay," the fat aunt smiled kindly, and took out the phone to him, "Just put it on the table after typing."

With her clothes and towels on her elbows, she turned and went to take a shower.

After getting the mobile phone, Chi Ning dialed quickly, and the few seconds it rang seemed to be endless.

Liang Xingye will answer. Few people know his private number, so he will definitely answer...

The phone is on.

Liang Xingye's deep and pleasant voice came: "Hello?"

Chi Ning squatted on the ground, his hands were shaking, his throat was tight, "Liang Xingye, hurry up..."

Someone quickly covered his mouth from behind, and then hung up the call.

Chi Ning tried his best to break free from the shackles, but was held tightly by Cen Mingsen without running away.

"I'm not afraid of you," Chi Ning leaned against the wall, scratching the wall with his hands, threatening, "Liang Xingye will come to pick me up soon!"

Cen Mingsen stared at him with an extremely ugly expression. Liang Xingye had a tough personality and was notoriously difficult to deal with.

Bai Hui stuck between his fingers, making his fingers ache, Chi Ning continued to threaten, "He'll be here soon!!"

The scene was deadlocked, and Cen Mingsen's eyes darkened like bloodshot eyes.

He suddenly laughed, his voice was gentle as usual in class: "Really? Then I want to see if Liang Xingye is faster or Xie Xin is faster."

He immediately called Xie Xin, and when he was connected, he spoke in a hurry, like a panicked elder, "Xiao Xin, have you arrived in the front yard? Something happened to Nuonuo."

Cen Mingcen's words pressed towards Chi Ning like cement - "Chi Ning molested her."
