Inferior by Nature

After resting for two days and recovering from the hand injury, I resumed teaching the young master.

When he got up in the morning, Ran Qingzhuang had already gone out, the weather was gloomy, it seemed that it would rain anytime.In the afternoon, the wind was already strong, blowing the crown of the tree and crushing the branches.Clouds thickly covered the sky, as if it was night in a blink of an eye.

The security checks on the island have always been strict. You have to check when you go to the island, you have to check when you enter the entertainment city, and you have to check when you are teaching the young master.

It started to rain on the way, and there was only an umbrella in the car, and Chen Qiao supported it for me, and I carried the piano on my back. When the two of them ran quickly into the gate under the eaves, they were a little wet.

Chen Qiao sent me off and left, telling me to call him after class.

According to the usual practice, the piano case passed the security inspection machine, and I raised my hands to the side for a full-body inspection.

And just when I was halfway through the inspection, another car came outside the door. I have only seen this car on TV so far. Looking at the style and specifications, I know that the person sitting inside must be of extraordinary status.

Soon, the driver got off the driver's seat holding the black umbrella, respectfully opened the rear door, and fully tilted the umbrella towards the passengers.

A slender white foot with a stiletto heel stepped out, and I couldn't help but go all the way up curiously, following the white sequined skirt, until I saw the other person's face.

With a small face, bright eyes, and a signature sweet smile on her lips—it turned out to be Ami.

A Mi got out of the car, and instead of going straight in, she bent down and carefully helped out a middle-aged man in his 60s and [-]s from the car.

The man had gray and silver hair combed back neatly, revealing his thin and stern facial features. He had two exquisite mustaches on his lips, and the tails of his beard curled upwards.He is also very well dressed, with a tuxedo, white gloves, a civilized staff in his left hand, and polished leather shoes.

After he got out of the car, the driver held the umbrella, and Ami held his arm, and walked into the rain eaves with great momentum.

"Mr. Jiang, my master has been waiting inside for a long time, this way please..." Butler Feng walked out quickly from the door, bowing his waist, accompanied by a smiling face, and led the way for the mustache.

The mustache didn't lower his head, let alone communicate with him, and walked straight into the door with a cane, not to mention the security check, he didn't even have the intention to stop and raise his arm.

When the two of them were about to disappear from sight, Ami suddenly turned her head and winked at me playfully, obviously she had spotted me early in the morning.

I couldn't help but also smiled at her as a greeting.

After the security check, I carried the piano on my back and was led by the maid to the young master's study room. After 10 minutes of preparation, the young master jumped in.

"Teacher, were you sick two days ago?" He consciously hugged his qin and sat on the stool.

"Hmm..." I looked up at him, and suddenly saw Jin Chenyu's shadow flashing across his face, and the smile on the corner of my mouth couldn't be maintained for an instant.

"I accidentally caught a cold before, but now I'm fine." Adjusting my mentality and discarding distracting thoughts, I walked over to correct his posture and started today's teaching.

Before, I kept telling myself that the dangerous island is the one that is sick, and the sick one is Jinchenyu. The young master is just a child, and all the dirty things have nothing to do with him.

But I suddenly realized just now that it can't be unrelated.Sooner or later he would be part of the island, sooner or later he would grow up.

He is still young now, like a pure and harmless deer, he has no evil intentions, no worldly desires, and is mischievous and cute in everything he does.

But his father is a lion, his elder brother is a fox, and he is surrounded by snakes, insects, rats and ants. How could he be innocent all his life?After a while, the deer will grow sharp horns and become aggressive and ferocious.He will inherit his father's property, become his brother's right-hand man, and rule the empire of money.

In such an environment, even if he can't be a lion king, he can never be a weak deer.

At the end of the course, it was raining and windy outside. Chen Qiao turned the wiper to the maximum, but still couldn't see the road ahead, so he could only drive very slowly.

The dead branches and leaves were blown up by the wind and supported by the rain, flying around like hidden weapons, hitting the roof window at every turn, and there was an illusion of driving in the center of the tornado in a trance.

I remember once before, when I was a sophomore in high school, it was raining heavily, and Ran Qingzhuang and I were trapped in the classroom, neither of us had an umbrella.

I was worrying about how to go back, when Ran Qingzhuang's grandma came to deliver an umbrella.

The old man brought one and supported himself. He thought it would be enough, but he didn't expect me.

"Oh, I didn't know that you didn't bring an umbrella either." The old man looked at his grandson, "Brat, you and I have an umbrella, and let him hold the other one back?"

"No, no, I'll just wait for Yu Xiaodian to go back by myself!" I quickly refused.When he came to Ran Qingzhuang, he was very tall, and his grandmother only reached his chest. There was a huge difference in height between the two of them, and it was not easy to accommodate anyone's height to hold an umbrella.Secondly, the umbrella is too small to support two people. If you give me one of the umbrellas, the two of them will definitely get wet after such a long walk home.

"Take it if you tell me, why are there so many nonsense?" Ran Qingzhuang grabbed the umbrella from his grandma and stuffed it into my arms, then looked at the continuous rain falling from the sky, raised his schoolbag and put it on his head On, took a deep breath and rushed into the rain.

"Grandma, I'm leaving first, you walk slowly!" The sound of the rain muffled his voice, he ran very fast, and in a blink of an eye he reached the school gate.

He paused for a while, shook off the water on his body, and waved to us from afar.

"Ah, you bad boy, why don't you put the book on your head, give it to me anyway!" The old man cursed and walked into the rain holding an umbrella.

I stared blankly at the umbrella in my arms, and then at the tall figure at the school gate.Soon, after resting, Ran Qingzhuang rushed into the rain again with his schoolbag on, and disappeared from my sight in a blink of an eye.

The next day, when the weather turned fine, I went to Ran Qingzhuang's class to return the umbrella, and happened to meet Lin Sheng at the door.He asked who I was looking for, I looked in the classroom, and I didn't see Ran Qingzhuang, so I gave him the umbrella and asked him to pass it on.

After school, Ran Qingzhuang appeared in the empty classroom as usual. I asked him if he had received the umbrella. He was a little slow to respond, and it took him a long time to say "Oh", nodded and said: "Yes, Lin Sheng gave it to me." After finishing speaking He was lying on the table, not looking energetic.

"Thank you yesterday," I said.

He was still lying on his stomach, and waved the hand hanging in front of him weakly, which should mean "you're welcome".

I put some rosin on the strings, tried to play a few notes, and then finished the "Napoli Dance" in one breath.

Looking at Ran Qingzhuang again, there was still no movement.

I want to talk to him, but I don't know what to say.Although he and I are in the same grade, we belong to different classes, and we don't usually meet each other.

Racking my brains, I suddenly thought of something I could say.

"Do you have a good relationship with Lin Sheng?" Lin Sheng is a grass-level figure with excellent grades and a good family background. He has always been the focus of everyone's eyes. The protagonist in the topic, but I regard him as a bridge to establish a connection with Ran Qingzhuang.

Hearing the familiar name, Ran Qingzhuang reacted a bit, raised his head, rested his chin on his arm, and said lazily: "It's okay, he was pestered by a gangster once, and I saw it, so I supported him. The other party didn't want to make a fuss and left."

"The little bastards are entangled?"

"He dated the little gangster's younger sister, and within two days he dumped her again, and was targeted by the little gangster."

Ran Qingzhuang spoke the astonishing truth in a flat tone, and I was stunned for a moment, wondering if we were talking about the same "Lin Sheng".

"It's a bit deserved, but he's not bad, and it seems to have been resolved in the end." Ran Qingzhuang said again, "Why, there is a girl in your class who has a crush on you and asked you to hand over a love letter?"

I came back to my senses and quickly shook my head: "No, no."

"That's good." He leaned back again, and said in a nasal voice, "This guy...although he's not a bad person, he's very bad. He likes things...you can't get."

Back to the red building, when he entered the door, he found that there was light under the door of Ran Qingzhuang.

After taking a hot bath to warm up my body, I caught a glimpse of the bedside table and remembered that the silver ring was still with me, so I knocked on the door of Ran Qingzhuang's room and gave it to him.

After a while, Ran Qingzhuang came to open the door.Even with the windows open, the room still smelled of smoke and was cold.

I just took a shower, and my hair was still a little damp. When the wind blows, I tremble unconsciously.

"What's the matter?" Ran Qingzhuang looked down at me.

Rubbing the silver ring with her fingers, she held it up to Ran Qingzhuang.

"This ring, when you were not around, I asked the maintenance worker to take it out and return it to you."

Ran Qingzhuang obviously didn't expect to be waiting for him here, and stood there in a daze, his eyes widened slightly, as if he even paused for a moment to breathe.

He raised his hand hesitantly, took back the ring from me, and stroked it over and over again with his thumb, as if he was comforting a puppy who had finally returned to its owner after going through all kinds of hardships and was crying in grievance.

It's a completely different attitude from treating my ring.

"What do you...do you like about Lin Sheng?" It wasn't until I heard my own voice that I realized how impolite and abrupt the question was.

From Ran Qingzhuang's point of view, this is tantamount to a hypocritical and artificial questioning, a ridiculous and ignorant investigation.

He was like a beast whose territory had been offended, and his eyes immediately became dangerous.

I hurriedly added: "I'm just curious, and I don't mean to offend."

Ran Qingzhuang put away the ring and said impatiently: "If you like it, you like it, just like flying insects like light, there is no reason."

I frowned slightly, not quite agreeing: "Flying insects also like light for a reason, he always has some... something that makes you particularly excited, right?"

Ran Qingzhuang's face was full of absurdity, with an expression of "how can there be such a ridiculous person".

"He will fight for me, take care of me when I am injured, and prepare breakfast for me every day in case of hypoglycemia. I am thirsty and he will give me water. I am lost and he comforts me. My grandma is not in good health. Life, thanks to him, makes me feel less difficult. Is it specific enough?” He finished speaking in one breath, staring at me, with a flash of sarcasm in his eyes, “He is different from a person like you who only knows about money. "

If words can be weapons, his mouth must be a weapon of mass destruction.Praise your ex and belittle me by the way, am I just going to annoy him?

Lin Sheng is different from me, he doesn't love money, because he already has it, of course he doesn't need it.

Who doesn't want to live a decent life?I also want to be as fairy-like as Lin Sheng, who can live by eating flowers and drinking dew, but unfortunately I was born as a common man, and I am doomed to run around for money until I die.

After freely uttering malicious words, people will always enter a relatively calm state.After teasing me, Ran Qingzhuang's tone returned to calm: "But these are all things in the past, Ji Ning, don't mention him again. If there is anything I need you to do, the first thing is...don't mention the past again Otherwise, it will be of no benefit to us, do you understand?"

I was still feeling tight in my chest when he said "you are different from Lin Sheng", so I didn't answer in time.

Ran Qingzhuang frowned, opened the door further, and said in a more serious tone: "Ji Ning, are you listening to me?"

I took a step back abruptly: "Oh... well, I see." Responding in a low voice, I turned and walked towards my bedroom. While holding the doorknob of the bedroom, there was the sound of the door closing behind me.

Lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling for a while, he opened the drawer and took out the ring he bought, holding it in front of his eyes for a closer look.

Because I am different from Lin Sheng, even if Lin Sheng gave him a broken ring, he would treat it as a treasure, and no matter how expensive I bought it, he would not care about it.

I feel ashamed of Ran Qingzhuang and want to make amends, but it doesn't mean I have no temper, and I won't feel hurt when I hear any belittling.

The ring was firmly pressed into my palm. I turned over and buried my face in the pillow. I didn't let go of my five fingers until my palm hurt with all my strength.
