Excessive exposure

It was night, and the two of them came home from their evening self-study. As soon as they reached the gate of the villa, they saw the butler waiting there.

This is a bit abnormal, usually he is standing under the eaves.

The chatting and laughing of the two stopped immediately, and Shi Annan stepped forward: "What's wrong?"

"Madam is back." The housekeeper replied.

Shi Annan was silent for a moment, and said to Zhou Bingwen; "Go back first tonight."

The lively atmosphere just now suddenly turned cold. Zhou Bingwen wanted to ask him, but he didn't know what to ask, so he could only look at him worriedly.

Shi Annan's tone was a little slow: "Go back, see you tomorrow morning."

"Well, good." Zhou Bingwen grabbed the strap of his backpack, and finally he could only say, "Then I'll go back first, and I'll send you a message after I finish my homework."

"En." Shi Annan waved his hand.

Zhou Bingwen glanced at him, then turned and went home.

Shi Annan and the housekeeper entered the house together. It was rare that there was an extra person in the living room, a strange yet familiar woman.

She has a big perm and wears it lazily, with a cigarette in her left hand and a mobile phone in her right hand answering messages.She was half leaning on the sofa with a lazy posture.

Hearing footsteps, she raised her head and looked towards the door: "Oh, I'm back."

Shi Annan threw the things in his hand on the table, poured himself a glass of water, and waited for her to speak.He knew that she would go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, and would only return to this empty villa when she had something to do with him, otherwise he would never remember his dispensable son.

The mother and son have a face with a similarity of at least 7 points, but the relationship is not very good.

Ruan Xiqing was not angry at her son's ignorance. She lay on the back of the sofa and said softly, "I heard you made the old man angry?"

Shi Annan was noncommittal.

Ruan Xiqing is nearly 40, but the years are not willing to leave any traces on this beautiful face, so she has always lived arrogantly and freely.It's just that no matter how good the day is, it's inevitable that there will be some unhappiness. Her son is always too disobedient.

"The old man doesn't seem to like you playing with that new kid from the Tang family."

Shi Annan put down his water glass, his eyes were cold.

Ruan Xiqing knew that he was listening, and continued, "I heard that you had an unpleasant affair with that little girl from the Mi family."

Shi Annan waited impatiently: "Let's get to the point."

"Who is that girl?"

"Nothing to do with you."

"Oh, it's still my dress."

"so what?"

"She has been here, and the background in the photo is your room. I have asked the housekeeper and the nanny, and no girl has come to the house."

Shi Annan had a bad premonition in his heart.

Ruan Xiqing said: "I seem to have found out your little secret by accident."

Shi Annan squeezed the water glass tightly, his eyes were so cold that a layer of frost could form.

After Ruan Xiqing finished speaking, she stopped talking and played with her mobile phone on her own.

The entire villa was silent, and even the housekeeper and the nanny didn't know where to hide.

After a long time, Shi Annan finally said, "Tell me, I promise you."

Ruan Xiqing was suspicious, and looked him over seriously: "You admitted it?"

Shi An was silent.

Ruan Xiqing still couldn't believe it and asked him, "Is he worth it for you?"

"I said, it has nothing to do with you."

Ruan Xiqing snorted and said, "Don't you think it's funny? How old are you? You can just play with these romantic things. You should think about your identity and your future."

"So you have only been liked, not loved."

Ruan Xiqing roared angrily: "Shi Annan! Do you have to do this every time?"

Shi Annan looked calm and unmoved.

Ruan Xiqing bit the nails she had just made: "I am your mother anyway, so can't you talk to me in a better tone?"

Shi Annan said with a sneer: "It's hard for you to think that you have such an identity."

Ruan Xiqing turned her face away, and after a moment of silence, she said, "No matter what, I hope you are well. If you just let go, I will pretend that I don't know anything."

"Just say something, or I'll go up."

Ruan Xiqing stood up from the sofa, showing her tall figure completely, like a delicate blooming flower, very aggressive: "Okay! Since you are so stubborn, I'm not welcome, I want your second uncle Xin [-]% of the company's shares." Her husband would no longer satisfy her greedy demands, so she could only beg for her son.

"I just had a falling out with Shi Hanying."

"That's your business."

Shi Annan stopped talking and walked upstairs.

Ruan Xiqing stood at the same spot and looked at his taller and taller back, in a trance, she remembered his cute way of babbling and toddling when she was a child. Year after year, in the Shi family, a family with mental illness, she finally couldn't bear it anymore. She drifted away from her husband and son, watching him grow from a child to a teenager, from green to mature, and could no longer touch him.

When Shi Annan's figure was about to disappear at the corner of the second floor, Ruan Xiqing couldn't help calling out to him: "Nannan."

Shi Annan stopped, but did not turn around.

Ruan Xiqing said: "Your temper should be changed, not everyone can bear it."

Shi Annan stepped forward, and his slender figure finally disappeared in the dark corridor on the second floor.

Ruan Xiqing turned around and walked into the vast night without any hesitation.

……

After Zhou Bingwen returned home, he once again did his homework by himself. Like the previous two nights, he always felt that something was missing.

He knew very well that what was missing was the familiar people around him, what was missing was the faint aura of that person, and his guidance.

I don't know what he is doing now. I heard from the housekeeper that his mother is back. Does he have a bad relationship with his mother?His expression was not happy at all.

Why on earth did his mother suddenly appear?

Did he just come back to see him, or did Mi Xin's incident affect the relationship between the two families?

Thinking so endlessly, when he came back to his senses, the draft paper was full of messy lines.

"Hey..." Zhou Bingwen picked up the phone, clicked on the WeChat interface, stopped his finger on the input box, retracted and clicked on it, and repeated several times.

Fortunately, there wasn't much homework today, and he finished it in a hurry. He fulfilled the promise he made when he parted and sent him a message after finishing the homework.

"My homework is done, how about you?"

There has been no new news coming in.

"Are you asleep?"

Still no reply.

Zhou Bingwen had no choice but to put down his phone, stood up and stretched, packed his clothes and went to the bathroom.

The boy took a shower very quickly. Ten minutes later, when he was buttoning up his pajamas and walking towards the bed, he suddenly saw someone sitting beside the bed, and he was almost scared to death.

Shi Annan waved to him: "Come here."

Zhou Bingwen was still standing there in shock, his hand buttoning his clothes almost tore off the buttons: "Why are you here?"

"Come here if you want, you don't welcome?"

"No..." Zhou Bingwen let out a long breath: "It's just that you should call first or something. By the way, I sent you a text message and you didn't reply."

"I came back, but you didn't, so I came here."

"No, when did you come back?" Zhou Bingwen quickly picked up his phone to check, and sure enough, not long after he put down the phone, the other party sent a message: "Then you can wait a little longer, why did you come here directly? What a hassle at this late hour."

"I don't mind the trouble."

Zhou Bingwen saw that his mood was not right, and asked, "Did something happen?"

Shi Annan didn't answer, but fell silent while looking at the sparse branches outside the window.

Zhou Bingwen sat beside him and said, "You seem to be in a particularly low mood tonight."

"is a bit."

"Can you tell me something unhappy, maybe it's good to say it."

Shi Annan smiled: "You know, you have a very good personality."

Zhou Bingwen scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Is it okay? My mother once said that I have a good personality, but I am too soft. This is not good, and it is easy to suffer."

"No."

"what?"

"You don't know what your kindness means to some people."

Zhou Bingwen looked at him puzzled.

Shi Annan twirled the hair on the top of his head, but was slapped away by the owner of the hair. He withdrew his hand and said: "Simple and kind, considerate of others, even willing to sacrifice oneself to meet other people's requirements, willing to compromise , willing to make do with, willing to give in.”

Zhou Bingwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The more you talk about it, the more I feel that I'm so weak, like a limp person with no temper."

Shi Annan leaned her head on his shoulder and said, "I like the feeling of being overwhelmed by you."

"Then I'll give you a little more in the future."

"I also like the feeling that you have repeatedly compromised in order to meet my request."

Zhou Bingwen was surprised: "That's because you are very kind to me, and I have no ability, so I can only treat you even better. I owe you a lot, and I don't know how to pay it back."

"Then you just remember it, remember everything one by one, and don't forget it until you die, you still don't know it."

"Your words are terrifying." Zhou Bingwen thought he was joking, pushed his shoulders away, and stood up: "It's already this time, do you want to eat something first? I'll get it for you."

"no need."

"Then do you want to go back?"

Shi Annan shook his head: "I don't want to."

"Then you can sleep here tonight. I'll find pajamas for you. Let's take a bath first." Then he went to open the closet to find clothes.

"Zhou Bingwen."

Zhou Bingwen turned his head and looked at him suspiciously.

"Nice to meet you."

Zhou Bingwen smiled: "Me too."

……

Campus life has returned to peace and tranquility again. A few days ago, Mi Xin was forced to kiss, Shi Annan announced his girlfriend, surveillance video exposure and other incidents were all diluted by the heavy schoolwork.

The students put their focus back on the class, but they would occasionally pick up their phones to swipe Shi Annan's never-updated WeChat page, discussing what Mi Xin would do next.

Time is passing in this busy and fulfilling campus life, and the mid-term exam will soon be ushered in.

During this period, Zhou Bingwen had a conflict with Shi Annan because of a trivial matter.

One night after the two finished their homework, they talked about Mi Xin while chatting.

Shi Annan said that his "girlfriend" hadn't appeared since he uploaded a photo last time, and heard that Mi Xin was still relentlessly looking for the whereabouts of this "girl". Zhou Bingwen had a bad intuition when he heard it.

At this time, Shi Annan took out a set of autumn dresses from the cabinet that he didn't know when he bought it, and said that he wanted Zhou Bingwen to put it on and take pictures to post on Moments. Zhou Bingwen turned around in anger and went home.

Seeing that the mid-term is coming, this month, the study time has been reduced due to the National Day holiday and the sports meeting. In addition, Xie Chengjun’s birthday party has caused a series of incidents and delayed a lot of courses. , He can't wait to break 1 minute into 2 minutes, how can he have the time to do these messy things.

As a result, when the conflict arose, it came directly to the day of the exam.

This time the exam was more nervous than the first time he took the monthly exam, because it was related to class placement.

When Zhou Bingwen entered the examination room with his seat number, he saw Shi Annan who was already sitting inside at first glance. He turned his head and thought it was a coincidence.

Shi Annan was also surprised when he saw him.

The exam started quickly, and the invigilator came in and handed out the test papers after reading about the order of the exam room and obeying the rules.

The rhythm of the exam is also the same as last time, Chinese and Mathematics, English and Science, and then Wenwen. After the exam, it happens to be Saturday morning, and then there will be a day and a half off.

This time the midterm exam was more difficult than the last monthly exam. Zhou Bingwen had a hard time doing it, and he couldn't help suspecting that he had been studying for nothing in the past two months.

At first, he brazenly told Shi Annan that he wanted to be admitted to Class [-]. He felt really good about himself. According to this posture, he would be suspended if he could enter Class [-].

The last time the English test was difficult, this time the math is particularly difficult.Earlier, Shi Annan had bet on the test for him, but this time the two had a quarrel and didn't even bet on the test.

But it doesn't matter if you don't bet on the questions, you can't bother Shi Annan every time, and the results obtained by betting on the questions are not interesting.

Ahhhhh, so annoying!

Zhou Bingwen was so annoyed that he almost pulled out a bunch of hair.

And I don't know what's going on with the weather. It was cool for two days a while ago, but now it's hot again, and I'm very annoyed when I'm doing the questions.

Amid the anxiety and apprehension of all the students, the two-and-a-half-day exam finally came to an end. Zhou Bingwen struggled until the last second of the exam. When the teacher came to collect the papers impatiently, he walked out in a daze.

His mind was completely empty, he didn't know when he was going down the stairs, and when he was about to go back to the teaching building, he was stopped by someone.

Shi Annan stood by the sink at the corner of the first floor. He washed his hair with cold water, and the tips of his hair were still dripping.

Zhou Bingwen looked at him, this was the first time Shi Annan took the initiative to call him after their conflict.

"Why do you look unhappy, you failed the exam?"

Is there even a question?Zhou Bingwen felt that his frustrated expression was so obvious: "I didn't pass the exam..."

"I didn't pass the exam this time, try harder next time." Shi Annan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and handed him a half-drunk bottle of iced black tea, "Drink something?"

Zhou Bingwen was very happy with his initiative to show his kindness and comfort, and the little lump in his heart was washed away immediately after the past few days and the nervousness of the exam.He took the bottle, the cold touch relieved the hotness of his body, he raised his head, and when the mouth of the bottle was about to touch his lips, he paused, remembering Shi Annan's obsession with cleanliness, so he didn't send it any further, and poured it slowly go down.

Shi Annan's eyes sank slightly, his brows were lowered, but he quickly calmed down.

"Thank you." Zhou Bingwen handed the bottle back.

Shi Annan didn't answer: "You drink, I just drank too much, my stomach is a little bloated."

Holding the bottle of Bingqin, Zhou Bingwen lowered his head and was not in the mood to speak.

Shi Annan said: "The next day and a half will be a holiday, where do you plan to go?"

"Play?" Zhou Bingwen said in frustration: "My grades are so poor, I should do two more sets of papers, and stop going out to play."

"It's because you didn't pass the exam that you have to go out to relax." Shi Annan patted him on the shoulder: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"I feel ashamed..." I feel sorry for my parents and the elders of the Tang family.

"I remember you said that you want to get into Class Five in the midterm exam?" Shi Annan asked him.

Zhou Bingwen's face turned red and he was extremely embarrassed.

"At that time, you just came to the No. [-] Middle School, and you didn't know the situation. There is nothing to be ashamed of. You have done a good job." Shi Annan: "We can stretch the goal a little bit, and strive to enter the fifth grade in the second year of high school. Ben, how is it?"

Zhou Bingwen thought about it along his line of thought, and thought it was still possible, but he had to work harder.

"Don't worry too much, don't you still have me to help you?"

Zhou Bingwen suddenly felt much better, and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Shi Annan said: "After the exam today, let's relax and go to the movies tonight?"

Zhou Bingwen was startled, a little moved, and he was really tired after studying for two months, but... the thought of the unsatisfactory results...

"Go, I'm bored by myself. Someone gave me two coupons. If you don't use them, it's a waste." Shi Annan took out two tickets from his pocket, took out one and handed it to him: "Take it, don't mess with it." Lost, 80 yuan for one card."

80 yuan is not expensive, but for Zhou Bingwen, even if the standard of living has improved a lot now, some deep-rooted concepts are still difficult to change. He has only seen a dozen movies, and an 80 yuan movie ticket is very important to him. It is indeed more expensive.

Facing Shi Annan's dominance, he took the movie ticket subconsciously as usual, only to realize that it was a bit hot, and he couldn't help but think of what Shi Annan said that day, treat you to dinner, give you extra lessons, and take you When talking about a boyfriend who is traveling or something, his face is so ashamed that he stammered, "This, it's not very good... No, it's too expensive..."

Shi Annan shrugged indifferently: "I won't go if no one will accompany me, you should lose the coupon."

"No, don't be angry..." Zhou Bingwen looked at the beautifully designed exchange voucher in his hand, full of emotions, Shi Annan took the initiative to find him to reconcile, it was very rare, and sure enough, he still couldn't refuse him: "I'll go with you. "

Shi Annan hooked her lips: "Okay then, go back to the classroom to pack things first, and then we'll go have dinner together." After finishing speaking, he walked towards the opposite teaching building on his slender legs.

"Oh, okay." Zhou Bingwen carefully put the exchange voucher in his pocket, thinking that Shi Annan had already taken the initiative to invite him to watch a movie, so he should say something: "Then let me treat you to a big meal, do you want to go?" Where to eat?" Zhou Bingwen had to speed up his pace to keep up with the other party's long legs and height.

Shi Annan turned around and looked back at his up-looking face slightly, with a hint of meaning in his eyes: "You know, there is something about your character that I like very much."

Zhou Bingwen hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

Shi Annan said: "Etiquette is always reciprocated, what goes back and what is returned."

Zhou Bingwen looked at him suspiciously, but Shi Annan just smiled and continued walking towards the teaching building.

……

After the afternoon holiday, Zhou Bingwen and Shi Annan went home first, because after the exam, it does not mean that the teacher will let you take a good vacation, and there will be a lot of homework assignments, so they have to write the thick paper first. Bring back.

Tang Leyou told him yesterday that he was going to attend a classmate's birthday party after the exam today, and he would come back very late at night.

Zhou Bingwen told him to send a message every hour to ensure safety.

When Zhou Bingwen packed up everything and went out, Shi Annan was already waiting at the door of his house with a big bag in his hand.

"What are you taking?" Zhou Bingwen asked him, "Did you even bring a bath towel?"

"Secret." He said with a smile.

Zhou Bingwen got goosebumps from his English and smile: "Why do you have a bad feeling?"

"Illusion." Shi Annan said and walked towards the parking lot: "Let's go, let the driver take us to the place first."

Under Shi Annan's trickery, the original plan was to go to the movies at night, but it turned out that he also went out to play in the afternoon.Zhou Bingwen was helpless, as long as Shi Annan said something nice to him, everything would follow him.

Because the weather is a bit hot, Shi Annan suggested going to the beach to play, eat barbecue, and swim.

"Let's go to the mall to buy swimming trunks for you first. Those shops by the sea have ugly styles, poor quality, and are expensive."

"I have to buy a swimming ring, I can't swim."

Shi Annan stared at him for a while.

Zhou Bingwen was taken aback by him: "Why, look down on people who can't swim."

"No..." Shi Annan cleared his throat and said, "I can teach you."

"Really, that's pretty good." Zhou Bingwen couldn't help looking forward to it, and he said, "I heard from Youyou that Yuze brother is very good at swimming, such as butterfly, breaststroke, backstroke, etc. He is super good, and he has won many prize."

"..."

"Youyou also said that he is very good at playing basketball, badminton, tennis, and golf. He is obviously a medical student with so much homework, yet he knows so many things. He is almost decathlon."

"..."

"However, he is so good, but he also has shortcomings. Youyou secretly told me that Zhang Yi taught him how to cook, and he could fry the dishes, hehe."

"Tsk, it's really useless."
