Reverse Approach

【18】

Su Beimo didn't stay in the town much, he didn't even go home.Not long after dinner on Sunday afternoon, I received a call from Xu Yuanming, asking if it was convenient for him to go back to work overtime.The return ticket for the weekend was only available in the evening, so Su Beimo was delayed for a day.He works with a laptop at Liao Nanqing's home, and when he looks at his work documents in front of the computer, he wears a pair of thin metal-rimmed glasses.

Liao Nanqing sat beside him and did his homework, collecting up questions that he didn't understand.

When Su Bei Mo is empty, tell him and draw the key points carefully.Su Beimo used to push his glasses when giving lectures, and Liao Nanqing's eyes overflowed with soft light from the side face, dimly entering the present world.

Liao Nanqing was easily distracted and could not concentrate.Especially when Su Beimo was tutoring him, his mind-wandering was multiplied a hundred times.This progress is not as good as his own review, or ask Xu Yanyan to help with the lecture.

Originally, Su Beimo always tutored Liao Nanqing through his mobile phone, so he didn't see any clues.But as long as they face each other, he can find that Liao Nanqing's eyes are in a daze, and his brain seems to stop functioning.

"Liao Nanqing." Su Beimo tapped his forehead with a ballpoint pen, "I will charge you if you get distracted again."

"Then I'll write you an IOU."

"...and the eyes are on the nose." Su Beimo tapped the test paper with his fingertips, "I'll say it again, listen carefully."

Liao Nanqing sat upright, wrote down the equation while listening, and recited it twice.He digested Su Beimo's teaching in the most stupid way. Fortunately, Su Beimo was careful and explained every question.

His voice is calm and gentle, it sounds good on the phone, but it is even more interesting in real life.

"I bought you some dumplings and wontons and put them in the refrigerator. Don't eat instant noodles all the time. I think the price of the stir-fry restaurant downstairs is not expensive." Su Beimo tidied up and saluted briefly, rubbing Liao Nanqing's head.

Being together for a short time is not enough for each other.

Liao Nanqing reluctantly followed behind him and whispered, "I won't go downstairs to eat."

Su Beimo immediately understood the reason, Liao Nanqing is a 'celebrity' in this area.He changed the phrase: "Next time I come back, I will teach you how to cook."

"Is that going to wait for the winter vacation?"

"Maybe."

Liao Nanqing lowered his head and said sincerely, "It's too slow, I will miss you."

Su Beimo's heart warmed up. He stood at the entrance without putting on his shoes for a long time, and looked at Liao Nanqing with a smile in his eyes: "The mid-term exam class improved by ten, I will give you a gift."

But Liao Nanqing didn't want gifts, and Su Beimo's return was the best gift.

He nodded blankly: "My grades are poor, but I don't want a gift either. You can come back to see me, or let me find you..."

"No, you have to work hard. You are already in the third year of high school." Su Beimo looked like a little parent when he said this.He really hoped that Liao Nanqing could do well, make progress, and realize his wish.

He didn't know that Liao Nanqing's wish was to come to City B to find him. If he knew that this was Liao Nanqing's only wish this year, Su Beimo would probably jump up proudly.Look, the person I like has his heart toward me.

People in the period of crush, no matter how old they are, have a naive little mind.Secretly hiding, lest the other party find out.

Liao Nanqing would never refute Su Beimo's words, so he had no choice but to agree: "This year, can I celebrate your birthday with you?"

Fearing that Su Beimo would refuse, Liao Nanqing acted like a child: "I'll buy you a big cake, and we'll blow out the candles together."

His birthday memories will always remain on the big cake and blowing out candles when he was a child. After his mother remarried, it is his brother's big cake and blowing out candles.Liao Nanqing stubbornly believed that these two things were the greatest extravagance and the best aspect of a birthday.He thinks that Su Beimo should have these good things, and he wants to live with him.

He wanted to participate in Su Beimo's birthday, and this thought infiltrated into his brain unconsciously.

Take root gradually.

Liao Nanqing was frightened by his own thoughts, and raised his eyes timidly.

"Okay, I'll look forward to it." Su Beimo said.

Liao Nanqing was instantly happy. He sent Su Beimo to the station, and couldn't help talking a lot along the way.As before, after Su Beimo entered the station, he stood still outside the glass door. Through the glass door, he was still like a little quail that had lost its nest, obsequious and very distressing.

Before the ticket check, Su Beimo couldn't help but walk out again, and gently pushed his forehead: "Study hard."

"Ah."

"Stop eating junk food all the time."

"Ah."

"Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Liao Nanqing thought for a while and said solemnly, "I will miss you."

Su Beimo raised the corner of his mouth: "I will miss you too."

With a ray of sunshine, the pace of youth is approaching. Liao Nanqing's ears are slightly red, and the two inconspicuous dimples at the corners of his mouth carry the beautiful longing for autumn.

--I will miss you.

—I will miss you too.

Su Beimo thought to himself: I must be thinking about you more.

In November, Su Beimo's company entered a busy overtime season. Xu Yuan, who was in the same department as him, complained every day that he didn't have time for blind dates or dates.Faced with the computer for a long time, my hair is so greasy that I don't have time to wash it.Female colleagues in the office even put on facial masks while working overtime.

The so-called apply the most expensive mask, and work the latest shift.

Fortunately, overtime wages are also considerable. Su Beimo went to the mobile phone store to pick out a mobile phone that young people like now, and planned to give it to Liao Nanqing when his studies improved.

Recently, Subei Mo Association received a performance report from senior high school student Liao Nanqing.His base is weak and his progress is slow, but it feels like he's trying.The normal atmosphere of the school and the momentum of learning make people have infinite yearning for the future.

But in the mid-term exam, Liao Nanqing only improved nine places in the class.

One ranking difference is a lot worse.Obviously he studied very hard, but he was still one step away.

He lay down on the table dejectedly, Xu Yanyan and Ge Yun made eye contact, but nothing was communicated, and the two switched to their mobile phones.

[What's up with him? ]

[Failed in the exam? ]

[No, he improved nine places in a month, and the old class just praised him! ]

[You ask. ]

[Why didn't you ask? ]

[I'm a girl, so I'm more reserved. ]

Xu Yanyan snorted, and took out a lollipop from the drawer to poke Liao Nanqing's head: "Xiao Nannan, do you eat candy? Your favorite strawberry flavor~"

Liao Nanqing muffled: "I can't eat."

What do you mean by that?Xu Yanyan and Ge Yun knew that he had been bullied before, so they became very concerned, and almost dragged a small bench to ask him if something happened to him again.As a result, Liao Nanqing's eyes were red, and he sniffed desperately.Xu Yanyan couldn't help holding his face: "Good boy, what happened, tell brother."

Ge Yun: "Gays are gay."

Ge Yun's silent deskmate also glanced at Xu Yanyan and Liao Nanqing, pushed his glasses, and acquiesced in the gay air in this sentence.

"I want to improve by ten places." Liao Nanqing rubbed his eyes, "One place is missing."

Xu Yanyan said dumbly: "So you are so ambitious, I underestimated you."

"Xu Jianjian, that's called self-motivation." Ge Yun had a rare good temper, "Liao Nanqing, you have improved by nine places in your class this time, and by fifty places in the whole school, which is actually very good. The head teacher praised you just now, and your grades You have to climb up step by step, don't worry."

Liao Nanqing nodded, he knew it too.But it was an agreement between him and Su Beimo to improve ten places, and he was very sad that he couldn't keep it.So much so that I didn't speak much all day, and the whole person was listless.

Liao Nanqing was very frustrated when he sent the report card to Su Beimo, and Su Beimo was still working overtime, so he didn't have time to reply him.The female colleague Qiu Lu sitting next to him handed Su Beimo a cup of instant coffee provided by the company, and took advantage of the break to test him: "You work overtime every day, so you don't have time to date your girlfriend, do you?"

"I don't have a girlfriend." Su Beimo thanked her for the coffee and looked at the data carefully.

Qiu Lu snickered, sat back and typed the form.Like Su Beimo, she is a senior who came to this company as an intern. She had noticed Su Beimo as early as the first day she joined the company.It's just that Su Beimo would go to the tea room to call or send messages during his lunch break, making people think he had a girlfriend.

Asked boldly today, Qiu Lu got a satisfactory answer.

Qiu Lu's secretly delighted expression was seen by Xu Yuanming. He passed by and took a photo of Su Beimo who didn't know the situation, and sighed: "Small fresh meat is always more popular than old bacon."

Su Beimo looked puzzled.

Xu Yuanming will not easily poke Qiu Lu's small thoughts, and changed the subject: "There is a business trip at the end of November, and he is with Mr. Li. He seems to want to pick a few interns to go with him. There will be training before going. , a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Su Beimo hurriedly asked, "Is that the project brought by Mr. Li himself?"

"Yeah, you and Qiu Lu must be in there. Among the interns, you two are the only ones working overtime. Mr. Li is paying attention."

Qiu Lu's eyes lit up: "That's great, I just went out to study."

Mr. Li is especially good at leading people, and he can learn a lot when going out to do projects with him.Su Beimo has always wanted to go out with President Li, but he didn't want to choose November. He agreed to go back to see Liao Nanqing on his birthday.But this matter has not been settled yet, and Xu Yuanming can't believe everything he said.

Just Qiu Lu was quietly having fun by herself, Su Beimo wiped his face and saw the message on the phone.

It was from Liao Nanqing: [I have only improved by nine places, and there will be a quiz at the end of the month, and I will try my best to advance to ten places.At that time, wait until November 11th, I will come to you, okay?I want to spend your birthday with you. ]

Su Beimo couldn't help him: [Okay, but if you come, you must tell me in advance, I will pick you up. ]

At this point, Liao Nanqing was still studying at night, so he probably didn't have time to reply to the messages.

Su Beimo then sent another message: [But I want to come to you more. ]

Walking, running, impatiently coming.What he said was very explicit, but unfortunately that little idiot Liao Nanqing couldn't understand.Su Beimo was also thankful that he was foolishly unable to understand his own mind, only in this way, Liao Nanqing would approach him carefully.Only he can be a 'good guy' who doesn't scare Liao Nanqing away.

Ding.

Unexpectedly, Liao Nanqing replied at the time of evening self-study: [Can you send me your address, I will check it every day, so I will be motivated to study. ]

[Evening self-study is not serious, how to improve? ] Having said that, Su Beimo still attached his address at the end of the message by the way.

Liao Nanqing sensibly did not reply.

Su Beimo put down his phone with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Qiu Lu paid attention to him for a long time, and glanced at his phone many times, but couldn't see what he was typing.

Xu Yuanming cheerfully accosted: "It's that brother of yours again? It's not easy for your brother to do it."

"He has made progress in his studies, which is to be praised."

Qiu Lu answered immediately: "How old are you?"

"High school senior."

"That was the critical time. I have a younger sister who is also in the third year of high school, but she is always playful and doesn't like studying." She tried her best to find a topic, and wanted to chat with Su Beimo, but Su Beimo dismissed her with few words.The three of them returned to the enthusiasm of working overtime, Qiu Lu pouted unhappily, and Su Beimo didn't care too much.
