Jigsaw puzzle

When Han Yicheng heard Qi Dongqing thank him, a strange and strange emotion surged in his heart. He stood stiffly for a while, then ran back to the shop as if to escape, and patted Qi Xin to signal that she could go back.

Qi Xin had grown her hair for less than half a year. Usually, her hair was loose and long enough to be waist-length, but now it was braided so that it reached a lot below her shoulders.

It wasn't for nothing that the little girl pestered Chen Xian all day long, and Han Yicheng had to admit that, in terms of braiding hair alone, Chen Xian's ability was much better than the three men in the room.

No matter how much Han Yicheng studied before, he only learned how to weave the most rustic braids, but was rejected by Qi Xin in embarrassment but politely.But now, Chen Xian gave the little girl a new look by pawing it with his hands twice casually. Several strands of hair were coiled together and finally neatly tied into a bun. The former tomboy now looks a bit like a little lady.

Qi Xin seemed very excited along the way, she didn't know if it was because of her new haircut, or because she was expecting Han Yicheng to tell her something, but in the end she hummed a song.

Han Yicheng looked up at the smug little girl in the rearview mirror, and poured a basin of cold water in a very inappropriate way: "Have you finished accumulating the wrong questions this week?"

Qi Xin paused for a moment: "This week isn't over yet..."

"The monthly exam papers have been distributed?"

"Well, it's almost eighty."

Han Yicheng nodded: "I'll accompany you to correct your mistakes when you go back."

"Ah? I already asked my dad to sign it," Qi Xin drooped her head in frustration, "I finally finished my homework at school today, and I still want to watch TV for a while."

"No." Han Yicheng refused straight away, "I'll read it after editing."

Li Ran looked at these two "dumb and cute" people and found it very interesting. Qi Xin has changed a lot since he first met, and she has become more courageous when she talks too much. She was so cautious in the past that Han Yicheng would learn to act like a baby regardless of her personality. cheating.

When Qi Xin got home and took out the test paper, Li Ran almost didn't laugh out loud. He looked at Han Yicheng frowning, stared at the big "70" on the scroll for a long time, and then asked Qi Xin: "Isn't it almost?" Eighty?"

Facing Han Yicheng's face-to-face questioning, Qi Xin was still a little guilty, she quickly turned the paper over, pointed to a wrong question and said: "Well, if this question is correct, you can get [-] points."

Han Yicheng stopped arguing with Qi Xin on the score, found a red pen from her pencil case, took the paper and helped her write the steps to solve the problem bit by bit.

Qi Xin herself is very smart, but it's a pity that she hasn't focused on her studies since she was a child, and her grades have never been very good.Before Han Yicheng took over, Qi Xin had been stable among the bottom five in the class, and had never performed exceptionally well.Later, Han Yicheng often accompanied her to do homework and correct mistakes bit by bit, and only then did her score reach the middle position.

If Han Yicheng's requirements were stricter, there would still be a lot of room for improvement in Qi Xin's grades, but Han Yicheng's tutoring for Qi Xin was limited to writing homework and correcting mistakes, and occasionally taking her through the knowledge points twice before the exam. He saw that Qi Xin was really not interested in the English class of Mathematical Olympiad class, and he didn't force it.

Before, Han Yicheng saw Qi Xin often watching Li Ran dance from outside the dance room through the glass, so he enrolled her in dance lessons. However, Qi Xin's enthusiasm for hip-hop dance was only limited to his hobby, and Li Ran even coaxed her to participate in a competition. Cheat only barely went once.But he himself, not only ran to the dance room every day, but also fell in love with other dance teachers.

Thinking of this, Han Yicheng glanced at Li Ran unnaturally, and found that Li Ran was also looking at him with a smile.

"Have you finished writing?" Han Yicheng coughed lightly to cover up, and turned his attention back to Qi Xin's paper.

"I want to take another look at what you wrote." Qi Xin blinked and begged.

"No," Han Yicheng refused again indifferently, "You try to figure it out yourself first."

After finishing speaking, Han Yicheng grabbed a random book from Qi Xin's desk, walked to the living room, opened it and stared at it, not sure if he was really reading it, or if he was just trying to cover up the panic of being caught by Li Ran just now.

Li Ran followed him out and sat on the sofa. While Qi Xin was writing quickly in the room, Li Ran wrapped Han Yicheng and stuck to him, like a big koala hugging a tree trunk.

"Is the report going well today?"

"Ah."

"Tomorrow's appointment with Director Qian is coming in the morning and afternoon?"

"morning."

"Ah," Li Ran pretended to sigh relaxedly, resting his head on Han Yicheng's shoulder, "I can't sleep in anymore."

Han Yicheng looked sideways at Li Ran, and squeezed his chin with one hand: "I'll send Qi Xin off in the morning, and we'll go together after you wake up."

"Let's go see her off together, and it won't take half an hour." Li Ran keenly noticed that after Han Yicheng came back from the bar, he was always in a daze, immersed in his own thoughts and unable to get out.

"What's the matter?" He raised his head and asked Han Yicheng, "I'm in a bad mood? Why do you feel bored?"

Han Yicheng saw that Li Ran didn't speak, stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms for a long time, and finally said: "I'm nervous."

"What are you nervous about?"

"tomorrow."

"Hey," Li Ran pushed Han Yicheng away helplessly, and flicked his forehead lightly, "Why are you struggling like squeezing toothpaste, didn't you learn it before? You can't even say a few words to me now ?"

"I don't know what I'm nervous about, I'm just afraid that I won't perform well."

"You are going to see a doctor, not for an exam. How can there be any performance? In other words, even if there is, it is the performance of our doctor."

Han Yicheng nodded, his eyes were still confused, and he didn't know if he had listened to Li Ran's words.

"Even if it's really an exam, you don't have to pay too much attention to it. Look at Qi Xin who only scored more than 70 points in the exam. Will you be angry because of this?"

"No." Han Yicheng finally understood the meaning, picked up Li Ran's waist again and hugged him tightly from behind, probably because he felt more secure.

"That's right," Li Ran saw that Han Yicheng had listened, and took Qi Xin's textbook from his hand, "Everyone has his own aspirations, look at this little girl, although the test scores are not high, this little manga... It's really interesting."

At first Han Yicheng thought that Li Ran was joking, he curled his lips and said nothing, after a while, he found that Li Ran was really staring at Qi Xin's textbook seriously.

"looking at what?"

Li Ran handed a certain page of the textbook to Han Yicheng: "Look at this little painting, it's so funny."

Recently, Qi Xin has become more and more like a little girl in all aspects, but the textbooks are still the same, with black and white scribbles.Han Yicheng knew before that Qi Xin had a bad habit of drawing in textbooks, and she didn't correct it after several times, so Han Yicheng didn't bother to repeat it.

But this time when Li Ran reminded him, he discovered that Qi Xin seemed to have a special liking for "painting small paintings". Almost every blank space in the textbook was filled with villains, and even the textbooks printed illustrations of images of ancient people. They were all changed beyond recognition by Qi Xin.

Li Ran pointed to a portrait of a scientist painted as "Mecha Warrior" in a corner, and asked Han Yicheng with a smile: "Don't you think this painting, just, has a special imagination?"

"Look at this..." Han Yicheng searched his brains but couldn't find a suitable word to praise him, "It's quite, quite thick."

Li Ran couldn't hold back his laughter after hearing this adjective, just in time for Qi Xin to come out of the room, and saw the two hugging each other on the sofa, still holding his textbooks with a playful smile, and blushing stand up.

"Don't read my textbook," Qi Xin ran over and snatched the book from Han Yicheng's hand, rolled the textbook and hid it behind her, "You are violating my privacy!"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Li Ran quickly restrained the smile on his face, and admitted his mistake with a serious look, "We saw that your paintings are very interesting, and we couldn't help but stop after seeing them."

Qi Xin was originally a very sensible child, even if she was rebellious in adolescence, she was easy to coax. As soon as Li Ran apologized, her tone weakened: "That, that must be told to me in advance."

"Did you hear that!" Li Ran stabbed Han Yicheng pretending to be a lesson, "Isn't it all your fault! The next time you take something from my old sister, you have to get permission from others."

"Oh," Han Yicheng apologized obediently, "I'm sorry."

Qi Xin's petty temper was originally a matter of the superior, and she knew in her heart that she was making trouble for no reason, but now that Han Yicheng apologized so formally, she became flustered instead.

"Uh no, don't say I'm sorry," Qi Xin hadn't dealt with this kind of situation before, he couldn't speak a complete sentence, and finally pouted with the culprit Li Ran, "What are you doing..."

"Alas," Li Ran was delighted, and stood up from the sofa, sighing with pretended sorrow, "You know to blame me, my elder brother met me later, why don't you kiss me like uncle."

"No, it's obviously you who always take the initiative to bully people." Qi Xin laughed seeing Li Ran like this, and handed the textbook back to the two of them, "You can read it if you want, anyway, it's nothing."

"How can you say it's nothing? I thought you only had one copy of this textbook. The whole school couldn't find a second one. It's cool!"

"I drew blindly, some classes are really boring."

"Listen carefully in class." Han Yicheng couldn't listen anymore, and cast a reproachful look at Li Ran, telling him not to teach the children badly.

Qi Xin replied on the surface, but in fact she lowered her head secretly and made a face with Li Ran beside her.Li Ran also winked at Qi Xin, and then said seriously: "Old Han is right, forget about painting after class, and listen to the lecture when it's time to listen. I didn't study hard when I was in school, and now I regret it!"

"Besides, you are so lucky to have such a master of science as a free tutor. When I was in school, despite my parents' enthusiasm, I actually couldn't do a single question."

Li Ran crazily instilled great principles into Qi Xin here, but Han Yicheng couldn't get in, so he took Qi Xin's textbook and looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly asked her: "Do you want to learn to draw?"

"Uh," Qi Xin was taken aback, "I don't know either."

"You can enroll in a class and learn systematically, if you don't hate it." After Han Yicheng finished speaking, he stood up and returned the book to Qi Xin, "I'll tell you something."

"what's up?"

"...", Han Yicheng looked at Qi Xin staring at himself with staring eyes, his expression was even a little expectant, he suddenly didn't know how to talk to Qi Xin.

Han Yicheng silently looked at Li Ran beside him, with a helpless expression.Li Ran guessed that Han Yicheng was going to have a showdown with Qi Xin, so he reached out to hold his hand and started a fight for Han Yicheng.

"What about your uncle? He's not feeling well recently. I'm going to accompany him to the hospital tomorrow. For a while...maybe I need to concentrate on raising him for a while. So you..." Li Ran saw a smile on Qi Xin's face after speaking halfway. child disappeared.She looked at Li Ran and then at Han Yicheng, as if wondering if Li Ran was joking with her again.

After confirming that the two of them were serious, Qi Xin's eyes gradually revealed a look of fear. Han Yicheng saw that the little girl's eyes were red, and he was afraid that she would cry, so he quickly added: "It's not serious, don't worry."

"What's the matter with you?" Qi Xin asked Han Yicheng, his immature face showed a maturity that didn't match his age, "You are not allowed to lie! I can tell."

"...just depression, nothing else."

"Depression?" Qi Xin calmed down a little when she heard that Han Yicheng was not suffering from a fatal injury. The fear on her face gradually turned into confusion, and she tried to understand with her 13-year-old limited knowledge, "Are you... Are you unhappy? Is it because I behaved badly? Why do you have such a disease? Aren't you... happy this time?"

"It's getting better now," Han Yicheng explained, "but if I want to get better soon, I have to go to the hospital often to cooperate with the treatment."

Qi Xin nodded half-understood, she was silent for a while, then asked Han Yicheng in a low voice: "Then...are you feeling uncomfortable now?"

"It's not uncomfortable now, but sometimes I'm very unhappy, and it's very uncomfortable at that time."

"So you need treatment?"

"Well, so it needs treatment."

Qi Xin looked at Han Yicheng up and down several times, as if looking for signs of his illness, "You've lost weight." Finally, she sadly concluded, "I insist on coming here today, so it makes you feel uncomfortable too."

"It has nothing to do with you," Han Yicheng said to Qi Xin seriously, and while speaking, he patted her shoulder with his free hand very gently, "Sometimes I can't control myself, I'm afraid it will affect you, I just told you."

"Then what should I do to help you?" Qi Xin asked him.

Han Yicheng glanced at Li Ran again, and Li Ran hooked his lips with encouragement, before he continued to talk to Qi Xin: "I may, but I can't always be with you these days, can you stay with your dad for a while longer?" ? Don't run around alone like before, if your dad is really noisy, call Aran and ask him to accompany you. "

Qi Xin nodded hurriedly: "Is this all right?"

"Well, that's fine, be good."

"Then I'm going to brush my teeth, wash my face and go to sleep now." After Qi Xin finished speaking, she immediately ran to the bathroom, brushed her teeth and washed her face quickly, and then ran to the door of her own room, "I'll go straight back to my dad's place after school tomorrow."

"Little girl is so good," Li Ran sighed, leaning on Han Yicheng and asked, "Do you also have to go to bed early?"

As if he didn't hear it, Han Yicheng continued to sit on the bed staring at Qi Xin's door in a daze, his fingers unconsciously twisted together.

When Li Ran saw this, he knew that he was starting to think wildly again, so he had to drag Han Yicheng to the bedroom until he was wrapped up in the quilt, and then asked, "Are you nervous again?"

"Hmm. Kind of."
