Mr. Shen's little boyfriend

The gentle cool wind blows the broken hair on He Qiutong's forehead and the hem of Shen Chao's shirt, like an invisible silk thread connecting the two together.

Shen Chao walked ahead unhurriedly, stopping from time to time to look back to see if the children had followed.

Neither spoke, but did not appear embarrassed.

This cobblestone path is not long, and it took a while to reach the main road.Not far away, some children were playing with mud in the shallow sandpit.

The noisy human voice entered the eardrums of the two, and the quiet night that belonged to each other was mixed with secular noise.

For no reason, some regrets.

He Qiutong thought about it, but didn't want to understand what he was regretting.

There is a leisure chair under the tree in front for people to rest. It seems that people often sit on it, and the surface of the chair is very clean.

He Qiutong walked over and took Shen Chao to sit down with him. The street lamp was dimly on next to him. Shen Chao's deep facial features were divided into light and dark sides by the light, like a perfect sculpture model in black and white in the sketch.

He Qiutong stared blankly, and it took a while before he turned his gaze to the bunker not far away.

Some small colorful things can be vaguely seen in the sand, half buried and half exposed. If you look carefully, you can distinguish some small model cars, small sand shovels and sand buckets.

The children playing in the mud were squatting or sitting in groups, with happy smiles on their faces, which suddenly reminded him of the Li Hangyu he met today.

Li Hangyu is completely different from these children, there will be no such innocent smile on his face, the only bit of happiness is reserved for his favorite motorcycle.

"I wanted to tell you about that kid I met as a tutor this afternoon, but you were in a video conference. I'm going to tell you now—"

Shen Chao's eyes fell on the child not far away, he raised his eyebrows, and signaled the boy to continue talking.

He Qiutong propped his chin on the back of his hand, tilted his head to look at the man sitting beside him:

"That kid is obviously very smart, but his math grades are a mess. I asked his mother, this kid is really only bad in math, Teacher Shen can give me some advice, how to teach this kind of kid who is serious ah?"

The ancients said that looking at a beauty under the light, the more beautiful you look, Shen Chao glanced at a certain classmate whose collar had slipped off without knowing it. His white collarbone looked skinny and beautiful in the boundary between light and dark, and further down was in the blurred shadows Not too obvious matte...

Shen Chao was inexplicably angry, and pulled He Qiutong back by the collar.

"Put on your clothes, do you want me to teach you these little things about life?" The voice was slightly cold.

He Qiutong was stunned, and didn't do anything else for a while, as if he was stunned by Shen Chao's sudden anger. After a while, he lowered his head belatedly, and started to lift his collar.

It looked pitiful.

Shen Chao closed his eyes and opened them again, exhaling heavily, the unknown anger in his heart was mostly dispelled by He Qiutong's aggrieved appearance.

Shen Chao stretched out his hand to help the man button the top button of the collar, pinched the boy's slightly fleshy cheek, and rubbed the short hair on the back of the boy's head.

"Sorry, did I offend you just now?"

"No, no." He Qiutong raised his head carefully, glanced at Shen Chao's expression, saw that it had calmed down, he was relieved, and gently tugged on the man's sleeve: "Mr. Shen, I was wrong. I shouldn't Keeping your collar open for the cold shouldn't make you angry."

Shen Chao: "..." All right, Tan Liang.

But the beautiful scenery under the young man's collar suddenly flashed through Shen Chao's mind.On the contrary, He Qiutong's apology gave Shen Chao a step down. The man sighed secretly, thinking——

Why is this little thing so soft-hearted.

Shen Chao didn't want to be entangled in this anymore, so he changed the subject.

"What did you ask just now?"

"It's the kid who makes up lessons. He's partial to subjects and only poor in math. How should I teach?"

Shen Chao pondered for a moment, tapped his fingers a few times on his thighs, and then replied:

"Generally speaking, if someone is particularly poor in a certain aspect, there are no more than two reasons. First, his sensitivity to this aspect is very low, which is natural, just like most boys are more sensitive in science and girls are mostly liberal arts. His thinking is more sensitive; second, he hates things in this aspect very much, which is acquired, for example, if a student hates his math teacher, then his math is likely to be bad."

After listening to Shen Chao's words, He Qiutong felt that he had opened his mind. After thinking about it carefully, he said: "I explained a few knowledge points to him, and he understood it very quickly. It should not be the first case." After a pause, Thinking of something again, he continued in a low voice: "He said he didn't hate mathematics, but he didn't like me..."

"No way, he can't learn math because he doesn't like me? I'm so unlikable." Is the first tutoring job so difficult?

Shen Chao felt that most of the children's brains were not working well, so he reached out and knocked on He Qiutong's small forehead.

"When you went to be a tutor, he was already bad at math. You can't blame him if you want to. It should be because he doesn't like the math teacher at school."

"..." It seemed to be stupid again.

One thing to say, he felt that Shen Chao deserved to be a professor of psychology—the reason for Li Hangyu's poor math performance should be the reason Shen Chao analyzed.

However, He Qiutong has nothing to do with it. After all, he is only a private tutor for the summer vacation, and he can't control the regular math teacher in other people's schools.well--

But do your best to teach Li Hangyu well in this month.Children have a high level of comprehension, so I will speak faster this month and make up for him more.

Shen Chao's voice pulled him out of his contemplation, and the top of his head was rubbed several times. The man's big palm was warm and dry, and his fingertips ran across the broken hair, making it very comfortable to be rubbed.

"I didn't expect Teacher He to be quite serious and responsible."

"I didn't expect that. I was very serious and responsible!" He Qiutong was not convinced, and raised his head to retort.

But he bumped into a pair of eyes that looked like the deep sea.

The dim light of the street lamp passed through the shadows of the mottled trees, and lightly landed on Shen Chao's shoulder.

backlight.

But the man's eyes are very bright, like the calm sea before sunset, not wrinkled by the wind, and the rest is infinitely tolerant.

In fact, Shen Chao knew in his heart that He Qiutong was just looking at the child's heart on the surface.

Most of the young man behaves out of tune outside, but if you really ask him to take on something, he will definitely do it for you seriously.

Shen Chao's breathing suddenly stagnated.

It's only been a few days since we got along, and I actually feel that I have a little understanding of the boy's mind, and I have become more and more proficient in getting along with the boy...

He shook his head. In fact, he didn't know this kid very well.There are still many secrets hidden in the child, and he has been waiting for the boy to tell him.

To this day, his thoughts have not changed.

No, it has changed a little.

He hopes that the boy can share secrets with him, but he is a little afraid that the boy will share secrets with him.

Shen Chao had a premonition.The secret that the boy has hidden for many years may be heavy, and it will be very painful to tear open the scabbed scar.

If there is a day to share secrets, their relationship should be considered very close, right?

Shen Chao has always been able to handle tasks with ease, but now he is a little uncertain—not sure if he has the ability and the determination to share the boy's thoughts.

……

It may be that the wind blows just right tonight, and the atmosphere has just arrived.

They sat in the love chair for a long time and talked a lot, until the light in the sky gradually dimmed until the white moonlight fell.

He Qiutong didn't talk about his family—the past that he didn't want to mention in his heart.

This actually made Shen Chao breathe a sigh of relief.

He was actually a little afraid that He Qiutong would deliver something to him at this moment.

Fortunately, it was Shen Chao who overestimated his position in the young man's heart.

He thought he had studied psychology fairly thoroughly, so he searched the knowledge base to find out what his current state of mind was.

No fruit.

Pinching the bridge of his nose, Shen Chao smiled self-deprecatingly.

Physicians do not heal themselves, and the ancients did not deceive me.

-

That night, Shen Chao had a rare insomnia.

The summer night wind carried a little heat, adding a touch of dryness for no reason.

He dug out the confiscated children's cigarettes and smoked two on the balcony.

Tonight's moonlight is hazy, and the bright white moonlight is slowly slanting down like silk and satin, and the outlines of the stars are more clear, dotted one by one on the dark night.

Shen Chao exhaled a puff of smoke, and the smoke curled up, blurring the stars in Shen Chao's eyes.

Although this cigarette is a women's cigarette, it has a lot of stamina.

Shen Chao, who had quit smoking for a long time, coughed several times when he took the first puff before he got used to the long-lost taste.

It was only at this time that Shen Chao truly realized how sophisticated the "younger smoking veteran" is.

What kind of family would raise a boy who smoked this kind of cigarette at the age of 19?

……

He Qiutong also got up early today, and when he walked to the living room, Shen Chao didn't come out before him.

"Ding Dong—" Suddenly the doorbell rang.

Who would come to Shen Chao's house at this time?

He Qiutong pulled on his slippers and went to open the door—it turned out to be a delivery guy from Meituan, and he was very conspicuous in his yellow clothes.

The gift is a box of functional sports drinks.

Quite heavy.He Qiutong struggled to carry a large box into the living room and put it down.

Just when He Qiutong looked at the box of drinks and didn't know what to do, Shen Chao came out.

Shen Chao looks quite energetic, but the dark circles under the eyes of Man Jun's face are a bit heavy.

This has never happened before.

Although Shen Chao fell into a light sleep near three o'clock, his biological clock woke him up at six o'clock every day.His eyes were a little sore, so he rinsed himself with cold water to make himself look more refreshed.

The child's voice diverted his attention.

"Shen Chao, did you stay up late last night to catch up with work? I'm sorry, I wasted a lot of time dragging you downstairs for a walk yesterday."

He Qiutong looked at the tiredness in the man's eyes, and the guilt in his heart overflowed in an instant, and he felt a little distressed.
