pamper her

Chapter 3 Can you be my teacher?
Yan Shinan lay down on the sofa angrily.

Li Mianmian looked back at him, then suddenly reached out and pushed the thermos cup towards him, then turned her head and continued to drink her glass of juice quietly.

Gu Yanci raised his eyebrows imperceptibly: "You don't want it?"

Li Mianmian shook her head, took out the salted duck eggs from her pocket, and said in a low voice, "I still have this."

"..." Yan Shinan sat up with a complicated expression: "This kid... is too good."

Gu Yanci chuckled lightly: "It's quite obedient."

Li Mianmian hung her head, her ears were slightly red.

Some people praised her for being cute before, but they never spoke in Gu Yanci's tone.

It made her feel an indescribable feeling in her heart, as if it was itchy.

Gu Yanci squatted down in front of her, took the duck egg from her hand, knocked it on the corner of the table, peeled off a small round hole, exposing the tender white egg white inside, and then handed it back to her.

Li Mianmian was a little puzzled.

"Brother, go get you a spoon."

Gu Yanci got up, quickly brought a small spoon over, and said to her, "Use this to eat."

"what……"

Li Mianmian gestured with the spoon, just enough to poke it through the hole.

"So that's how I eat..." she murmured.

"Huh?" Gu Yanci asked, "How did you eat before?"

"That's right, peeled off the shell." Li Mianmian said, "One bite at a time."

Gu Yanci laughed: "One mouthful?"

"Ah."

Li Mianmian said with some embarrassment: "I ate it secretly...for fear of being discovered..."

In fact, I ate it secretly that time, and it was not a duck egg, but a very small salted egg.

Because I was almost discovered, I swallowed it before I could chew it, didn't taste anything, and almost choked to death, so I never ate it again.

Li Mianmian didn't plan to say anything later.

She didn't have a concept before, but now she knows that she is pitiful and embarrassed like that.

She somehow didn't want her brother in front of her to know about her embarrassing things.

Fortunately, Gu Yanci didn't ask too much.

"Then don't take one bite at a time, you'll choke." He said, "You don't have to eat secretly from now on."

"..."

For some reason, Li Mianmian suddenly felt wronged.

Just after he said "don't eat secretly in the future".

From seeing her biological parents, telling them about her past life all the way, listening to them about her future life, and seeing her friendly brother at home, she has never been so wronged.

But now because of a little salted duck egg, because of a word of this brother, I feel extremely wronged.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yanci didn't expect that he would make people cry, and he was stunned for a moment: "Did brother say something wrong?"

He quickly took out a few pieces of paper, and gently wiped her tears: "Don't cry, brother apologizes to you, I'm sorry."

The more he behaved like this, the more Li Mianmian cried.

It seems that he wants to vent all the grievances accumulated for more than ten years.

Seeing that she was crying so hard, Gu Yanci simply bent one leg and knelt on the ground, leaned closer, and patted her on the back to comfort her.

Yan Shinan had never seen such a battle before, and stood up helplessly.

Then he seemed to raise his head and looked towards the door——

Lan Qingwan came over at some point, and was staring blankly at Li Mianmian who was breaking down and crying.

Yan Shinan was worried that she would blame Gu Yanci, so she walked over in two steps, wanting to explain.

"Okay, okay." Gu Yanci didn't notice the situation here, and was still comforting in a low voice, "It's all over."

Li Mianmian was dizzy from crying, and felt ashamed, eager to find a place to hide herself.

So she unknowingly buried herself in Gu Yanci's arms.

The girl is soft and looks fragile.

Gu Yanci is actually not very good at comforting people, Che Jilu said a few words, then simply remained silent, allowing her to rub her tears and snot all over her newly changed clothes.

At the door, Yan Shinan recounted what happened just now.

Lan Qingwan nodded thoughtfully: "Maybe you still have to be with your peers to relax."

Yan Shinan didn't understand what she meant, so he swallowed and said, "Then don't blame Gu Yanci...he was also kind in the first place..."

"I didn't blame him, how could I blame him?"

Lan Qingwan raised the corners of her mouth and patted Yan Shinan's shoulder, her voice choked with sobs: "I'm grateful to him...Mianmian has been depressed since the day we found her, neither crying nor making trouble...Obviously I have suffered so much. Wronged, but she just... just refused to say anything... Her father and I were worried all the way... It's good to cry, it's good to cry..."
-
When Li Mianmian had recovered, Lan Qingwan had already left.

Seeing the large wet stain on Gu Yanci's chest, she grabbed the hem of his clothes guiltily: "I, I'll wash it for you..."

"No, just throw it in the washing machine." Gu Yanci wiped her face meticulously, "Do you feel better now?"

Li Mianmian nodded: "I'm sorry..."

Gu Yanci didn't ask her why she was crying, but just stretched out his hand and said, "The duck eggs are already cold, brother go and warm them up for you."

When he entered the kitchen, he had just soaked the duck eggs in warm water when Yan Shinan stuck them in like a dog's skin plaster.

"Absolutely." Yan Shinan leaned against the wall and sighed, "When our Gu Yanci was still so good-tempered, our clothes were wrinkled like this and we wanted to warm duck eggs for others. The school belle fell in front of you before, didn't you still Too lazy to hold dirty hands?"

"It's okay for others to say that." Gu Yan resigned, "You say that like a heartless dog."

"Hey, why are you always swearing at people?" Yan Shinan clicked her tongue, "But I can actually understand why you are so kind to this little girl. First, the little girl is really pitiful. Second, when my aunt was alive, Aunt Lan has indeed helped a lot, and we are human beings who know that we will repay you—— am I right?"

Gu Yanci did not answer.

After a moment of silence, Yan Shinan suddenly thought of something, and said loudly, "Damn it! You treat me well because you are grateful, right? No, no, right? We are just pure brotherhood, right?"

"..." Gu Yanci covered his ears with one hand: "Go out if you are talking."
-
When it was completely dark, Gu Yanci sent Li Mianmian back home.

At this moment Li Yan had fallen asleep, and her parents were still sitting on the sofa waiting for her.

Lan Qingwan can also introduce this family to her daughter with peace of mind.

Li Mianmian was taken into her room.

This little house was even better than the room she had imagined in her dreams.

The big pink bed is spacious and beautiful, the bay window is filled with a row of plush dolls, and there are still clothes from childhood to girlhood hanging in the closet...

Whether it was in the old house or the current one, the parents never forgot to get her a room, even though they weren't even sure they could find her.

At this moment, Li Mianmian found a sense of belonging that is reassuring.

Lan Qingwan didn't go back to the master bedroom this day, and slept with her all night.

The next day, the couple started planning for Li Mianmian's study in the future.

Fortunately, she just happened to be a junior, and here is a school district room, so it is not difficult to enroll.

The trouble is that Li Mianmian used to live in the mountains, and her education level was not high, let alone her three years of junior high school were incomplete.

Li Changfeng was worried that she would not be able to keep up after school started, so he suggested finding a tutor for her to make up for it during the summer vacation.

Lan Qingwan was more concerned about Li Mianmian's emotions, and after thinking twice, decided to ask the child for her own opinion.

Li Mianmian is very willing to learn, but there are not many opportunities.

In the past, she was raised by a 70-year-old grandmother who treated her neither badly nor badly. She just gave her food and would not starve to death.

But the old lady is old, sometimes she is very confused, and her mood is uncertain.

When it is good, she can sit quietly in the classroom and attend class. When it is not good, the old lady will take her back from school and let her go to work in the field.

Also, during the autumn harvest season, most of the children are unable to study.

So when Lan Qingwan mentioned this, she immediately nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the couple searched for a teacher for several days while they were off work, but they couldn't find a suitable one.

Because what Li Mianmian needs is not to improve, nor is it to connect with the initial promotion.

She needs someone to explain the content of junior high school to her completely, and after the lecture, she has to help her with her homework.

This does not need to be talked about from morning to night, but it needs to be accompanied from morning to night, and then interspersed with talking for a while.

But outside tutors are billed by the hour, such a calculation is really not worth it.

Even if the family can afford the money, no one is willing to come and stay for so long every day.

"It would be great if I have an acquaintance." Li Changfeng said with a headache, "But this person has to be chosen. Mianmian is soft-tempered. I'm afraid that I will meet someone with bad character who secretly bullies her. We don't know..."

Inspired by his words, Lan Qingwan's eyes lit up suddenly: "Hey! Isn't there a suitable acquaintance living upstairs!"

"You mean Xiaoyan?" Li Changfeng was thinking, "Xiaoyan is really good, he knows everything, lives nearby, and has good grades-I heard that he has always been good at studying and the first in age? This is just right when he is on summer vacation. There is also time..."

"And Xiaoyan is short of money." Lan Qingwan sighed, "This child is really hard. Once he is a minor, how much money can he earn when he goes out to work? Let him come and teach Mianmian, it is much easier than outside."

The more she spoke, the more excited she became: "That's it, let's invite Xiaoyan over for a meal on the weekend, and then talk to him about it."
-
On Saturday, the couple started preparing meals from noon.

Lan Qingwan asked Li Mianmian to tell her brother upstairs to remind him to come over for dinner at night.

But she ran several times, and there was no one in the next room.

Later, she was worried about missing it, so she just sat on the stairs at the door and waited.

Gu Yan didn't come back until the evening, holding a white rabbit doll that was bigger than him.

The rabbit blocked his view so much that he only saw someone sitting next to him when he walked to the door.

Meeting his gaze, Li Mianmian immediately stood up and called out, "Brother..."

Gu Yanci suddenly stuffed the rabbit doll into her arms and interrupted her.

"As promised earlier, a birthday present."

The little girl was frightened by the huge toy rabbit and almost lost her footing.

Gu Yanci gave her a hand, bent down and said with a smile, "I don't know what you like, so I just bought this. When it's your birthday next year, brother will give you another one you like."

Li Mianmian struggled to lift the toy rabbit up, being careful not to let it touch the ground.

"This one, I like it very much." She said softly, "I will also hug it when I sleep at night."

Gu Yanci patted her head.

Li Mianmian looked up at him, and called again: "Brother."

In the empty corridor, Gu Yanci's voice seemed a little low: "Huh?"

Li Mianmian hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mom said, I want you to be my teacher."

Gu Yanci was slightly surprised: "What?"

Before, Lan Qingwan only asked him to come over for dinner. He thought it was to celebrate Li Mianmian's return home, but he didn't expect it to have other meanings?
"I don't study well, I can't find a suitable teacher...but I, I will be very serious..."

Li Mianmian lowered her head, pursed her lips and tugged at the hem of his clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Brother...can you be my teacher?"
