does he love me that much

The little guitar brooch was still not found in the end. Chi Ning asked the people who attended the class with him if they saw it, and they all said no.

He took out the music score from his schoolbag, and chatted with Song Xiaoyi regretfully: "I don't know where I lost it, I like it very much."

"Look for it, maybe you can find it." Song Xiaoyi moved the stool away, squatted down and checked around.

"I just looked for it." Chi Ning moved the stool back to its original place and asked her to sit down.

Song Xiaoyi frowned slightly, and said in a disapproving tone, "How can you just throw away such an expensive brooch?"

Chi Ning didn't know the specific price of the brooch, but felt that such a small thing would not be much more expensive, "Is it very expensive?"

He remembered how Liang Xingye helped him find earrings, and said, "You can check the surveillance."

Song Xiaoyi: "The monitoring is broken."

Chi Ning looked at the monitor in the corner of the ceiling. It was dark and dusty, and it seemed to have been broken for a long time. "Then there is no way."

A few minutes before the start of class, the short-haired man rushed into the classroom, propped his hands on the table, and jumped into the seat with one step, causing the tables and chairs to rattle.

Chi Ning supported the table, and helped Song Xiaoyi pick up the pen that was knocked down, and said casually: "I came back last night to look for it. There seemed to be someone in the classroom, but no one answered me when I knocked on the door."

Song Xiaoyi flicked through the music score, her hands paused, she lowered her head, her bangs covered the emotion in her eyes, "You heard it wrong, maybe it's a rabbit raised in the backyard."

Cen Mingsen has designated an area in the backyard to raise small animals. Rabbits like to run around, and they are often seen in the corridors, with several fluffy clumps.However, it is cold at night in early winter, and rabbits should be more inclined to shrink into thick nests.

Just as Chi Ning was about to respond, when he saw Cen Mingsen coming in, he corrected his posture and got ready for class.

The Sunday vocal class is arranged in the morning.Unlike other students, Chi Ning stayed here almost all day. If Liang Xingye didn't pick him up to eat outside, the driver would deliver the meal on time.

When others were on their way home for dinner, Chi Ning was already full.He is not used to taking a nap, so he strolled to the backyard of the villa with a glass of juice in his hand.

The backyard covers a large area, half of which is rockery and flowing water, dotted with evergreen bushes, and the other half is a small fish pond, where fish and turtles are raised. The rabbit nest is a little farther away from the water, and is built in the tool room at the corner of the path.

The tool room was open, and the rabbit poked out its white fluffy ears from the crack of the door. Chi Ning was pacing closer, biting on a straw.

The rabbit is not afraid of life, anyone can hug it, and he is merciful like a scumbag.It was stained with grass from the nest, Chi Ning cleaned it up, and sat on the bench to bask in the sun.

The weather was fine, dry and warm. Chi Ning's fingers sank into the soft long fur of the rabbit, and he scratched gently intermittently.

At this point in time, those who came home came home, those who got off work got off work, and there was no one in the backyard. Chi Ning basked in the sun for a while, and when he touched the juice, the wall of the glass became slightly warm, and the taste of the drink seemed to have changed.

The trash can was at the corner, and when he came back after throwing away the juice, he saw a little girl sitting on the bench, hugging a chubby little rabbit, her calves were dangling back and forth, her twisted braids were shining brightly in the sun.

Standing next to her was a young woman with a round face. She clasped her hands and her eyes stayed on the little girl for a long time.Looking at this match, Chi Ning recognized Xie Nuo and her nanny.

Xie Nuo likes to come to Cen's house to feed fish and turtles when he has nothing to do, and sometimes chases rabbits all over the villa. Chi Ning has bumped into her many times, and because of Xie Xin, he avoids her whenever he can.

On the bench, Xie Nuo dragged his voice, "Don't follow me."

"But the young master won't allow..."

"Brother listens to me, and you listen to me." The nanny followed her wherever she went, not allowing this or that, Xie Nuo raised her eyebrows, "I told you not to follow me."

The nanny's expression was determined, because Xie Nuo was lively and energetic, he liked to have fun and run around, he was smart, like a ghost, and he got rid of her several times.

It's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, the young master will have to skin her.

Chi Ning dropped his phone on the seat, strode forward, picked it up and was about to leave.Xie Nuo raised his head when he heard the movement, and gave a curious "huh", and then recalled the scene when Chi Ning chatted with her that night, helping her straighten her hair and make hairpins.

Xie Nuo's grape-like eyes were watery, "I've seen you before, and Brother Liang came to my house."

"I've seen you too." Chi Ning responded perfunctorily.

Children can keenly perceive other people's emotions, Xie Nuo asked: "Brother, do you hate me?"

The sound of milk is milky, the baby's fat cheeks are plump, and the eyebrows are inexplicably happy. It is the cutest human cub that Chi Ning has ever seen.

"I don't hate you." Chi Ning looked around, but Xie Xin was nowhere to be seen, and added the second half of the sentence in his heart, "I hate your brother."

After getting a negative answer, Xie Nuo jumped off the bench and warmly invited him, "Then let's feed the little turtle together."

She jumped in a hurry, stumbled with her left foot and fell forward with her right foot. Chi Ning stretched out his hand to catch it, but she couldn't stand still and was led to sit on the grass by her.

After Chi Ning's buffer, Xie Nuo only touched the grass with her palm, and she showed Chi Ning, "It's dirty."

Chi Ning patted her clean and helped her stand up straight.

Xie Nuo got up, saw Xie Xin at the intersection, and shrank into Chi Ning's arms, and said anxiously: "Hide me quickly, my brother will scold me when he sees me jumping around."

Xie Nuotian is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid that his brother will find her jumping from a high place.Last month, she watched cartoons, deliberately avoiding the nanny, and jumped down the steps like small animals. She thought it was fun, and gradually increased the height, and finally fell and suffered a concussion.

Her brother got angry with her for the first time, and then she was strictly forbidden to jump around, and she had a serious psychological shadow about it.

Chi Ning was even more psychologically shadowed by Xie Xin's arrogant and rigid character, and immediately let go of Xie Nuo.

Chi Ning didn't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting her. Seeing Xie Xin's face darken, he walked over quickly and urged Xie Nuo in a low voice, "Let go, or your brother will get angry."

Xie Nuo stomped his feet anxiously, covering his ears and burying his bells in front of his chest, "Hurry up, hurry up, hide me quickly."

……

The two pushed and shoved each other, seeming very intimate. When Xie Xin approached, Xie Nuo almost hid his head in Chi Ning's coat. The nanny tried to pull her away at a loss, but to no avail.

He frowned and looked at Chi Ning, "What are you doing?"

Chi Ning raised his face, and preemptively said in a cold voice, "She fell down, I just helped her up."

"you……"

A gentle greeting came from behind, interrupting Xie Xin, "Xiao Xin, what's the matter?"

Xie Xin turned his head and saw Cen Mingsen emerging from the path next to the bushes, "Uncle Cen."

Under normal circumstances, Xie Xin would not respect someone of Cen Mingsen's status too much, but Cen Mingsen and his uncle are good friends, Xie Xin values ​​his family, and loves Wu and Wu respect him three points.

Cen Mingsen picked up the little rabbit that was gnawing on the bushes, smiled and said to Xie Nuo who was buried in Chi Ning's arms, "Nuo Nuo, why are you hiding?"

Xie Nuo secretly glanced at Cen Mingsen, then covered his eyes and looked at her brother.

Xie Xin showed dissatisfaction, and tore her from Chi Ning's arms, "Uncle Cen, it's time for Nuonuo to take a nap, I'll take her back first."

Cen Mingsen is less than fifty and wears glasses. Unlike Xie Chuan, who is fat in his middle age, he maintains a good posture, has a refined and easy-going appearance, and is quite exquisite in his clothes, with the temperament of a musician.

He bent down to pull Chi Ning, and explained for Xie Xin, "Xie Xin is a particular person with a strong sense of boundaries. If you roll on the grass with Nuonuo in your arms, he will inevitably get angry when he sees it."

Chi Ning had already experienced Xie Xin's character. He was grateful for Cen Mingsen's rescue, so he stood up with his strength and thanked him politely: "Thank you, Teacher Cen."

Cen Mingsen smiled gently, sat on the bench, asked him if he had eaten, and asked him about his recent studies.

Chi Ning stood and answered questions one by one like in class.He and Cen Mingsen seldom interacted with each other, and only greeted each other when they bumped into each other after class. At this time, they chatted face to face, and even the atmosphere became stiff.

Cen Mingsen patted the seat and asked Chi Ning to sit down.

He didn't know Liang Xingye well, and his friendship was based on Xie's family. When Liang Xingye sent Chi Ning over, he said that he was a child in the family and asked him to take care of him.But looking at them getting along, they look like relatives but not like them. Cen Mingsen can't figure out the relationship between Liang Xingye and Chi Ning.

"What are you doing standing there?" Cen Mingsen said with a smile, "Are you so afraid of the teacher?"

Chi Ning sat next to him, Cen Mingsen touched the rabbit, and chatted with Liang Xingye, but Chi Ning always avoided the conversation at critical moments, turning around without a trace.

Cen Mingsen was a little surprised. He glanced at Chi Ning. His eyes were clean and sincere. He didn't know whether it was smart or pure.

His impression of Chi Ning is that he is very talented in music and has an outstanding appearance. Even if the classroom is full of people, he can be seen at a glance.Too bad it's a boy.

Cen Mingsen ignored Liang Xingye and talked about music knowledge with Chi Ning. His rich experience and knowledge reserves made Chi Ning concentrate on listening.

Suddenly, a small stone fell from upstairs and fell into the bushes. There was a "thumping" sound, and the rabbit was frightened, and kicked away in a panic.

Chi Ning looked up, and Song Xiaoyi's face flashed by the pearly white lattice window.Cen Mingsen took a step back, only saw the open window, and showed dissatisfaction on his face, "Fortunately, no one was hurt by someone throwing an object high in the sky."

Chi Ning looked at the pearly white lattice window and helped to conceal it, "Someone might have accidentally knocked it down in the corridor."

He stood up, said goodbye to Cen Mingsen, and returned to the classroom.

The classroom was empty, Chi Ning thought about it, and walked to the stairwell.Sure enough, Song Xiaoyi was there, wearing a gray down jacket and earmuffs, sitting on the steps, basking in the sun coming in from outside.

Chi Ning wondered: "Song Xiaoyi, didn't you go home for dinner?"

"Eat, I have guitar lessons in the afternoon, so I came here early." Song Xiaoyi took off her earmuffs and looked up at him, "What are you and Teacher Cen talking about?"

"Talk about the songs he composed, the concerts he held abroad, and some of his experiences in the music industry..." Chi Ning picked out a few things and said, he started, and Song Xiaoyi could follow the sentence accurately.

"How do you know this?" Chi Ning looked surprised.

Song Xiaoyi: "He's my cousin, I've heard him say it before."

After being exposed to the sun for a long time, her cheeks became dry and her lips were dry, with dimples like dry springs.

"Teacher Cen is excellent." Chi Ning boasted, but he was a bit gossip, always asking about Liang Xingye's private affairs.

Song Xiaoyi played with the sun spots on the hem of her clothes without saying a word.

Chi Ning said: "The next time you come to me, just call me. Throwing stones is very dangerous."

Song Xiaoyi twirled her fingers around the edge of the light spot, and suddenly said, "I did it on purpose."

"why?"

Song Xiaoyi didn't answer the question instead, as if she wanted to confirm: "Is Liang Xingye from the Liang family your brother?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Liang Xingye told him this on the first day he sent him to class.

At that time, Chi Ning didn't understand, and it took a long time to realize that there are circles here. In addition to getting together, there are also mild or severe bullying.

He was a new face, and when someone asked him when he arrived, he said that Liang Xingye was his brother.Few people believed it at first, but the driver picked him up and dropped him off all day long, and Liang Xingye would show up sometimes, so his identity was confirmed.

Since then, he has been insulated from bullying, and at most he is teased and played without malice.

The sunlight in the stairwell was shining brightly, the gray down jacket absorbed the heat, Song Xiaoyi took off her hat and piled it up with earmuffs.

She hugged her knees and looked at Chi Ning, "I ran into your brother at a banquet."

Her father works in the glass industry and has a strong business acumen, but he is good at playing.Her mother was just one of the lovers. Before she died, she tried her best to stuff her into the Song family.

Mrs. Song has both sons and daughters. Knowing that her father has raised many illegitimate children, he took his anger out on her.Her father knew it well, but based on the principle that more things are worse than less things, he turned a blind eye.

They were going to a dinner that day, Mrs. Song seized the time to scold her, her father might be thinking about her mother's death day, so he couldn't bear it, so he brought her by his side.

She was very impressed with Liang Xingye, because her father, with his eyes above his head, flattered him ridiculously in front of him.And the domineering Mrs. Song was even more smiling, holding her eldest daughter who had just graduated, speaking cautiously to please her.

The Liang family is powerful, and Chi Ning is a member of the Liang family and a man, so there should be no danger.

Song Xiaoyi was distracted, Chi Ning blew off the dust on the steps, sat with her, and chatted a few words about Liang Xingye.

Seeing that she just listened and seldom spoke, Chi Ning changed the topic: "By the way, Teacher Cen praised you just now."

Song Xiaoyi's whole body tensed up, and the chill spread rapidly from her tailbone, "Why did he mention me?"

"He knew we were friends."

"what did he say?"

Chi Ning thought about it carefully: "I praise you for being patient and serious about studying. Besides you, I also praised Lu Xu, Lai Yuchen and the others..."

Song Xiaoyi loosened her clenched fingers, lowered her eyes, and answered vaguely.

"Teacher Cen actually cares about the students." Chi Ning said.

Song Xiaoyi turned her head to look at Chi Ning, her eyes were sincere and respectful, not a lie.

Chi Ning is three years older than her, but he has a naive innocence, as if he grew up in a sterile environment. He has never been in contact with anyone, let alone make malicious speculations about people.

Her eyes stopped on Chi Ning's face, her eyebrows were exquisite and agile, and her smile was inexplicably touching. No matter how many times she looked at her, it was hard to look away.Even those bad-tempered boys like to strike up a conversation with him on purpose to tease him.

Chi Ning is so beautiful.

"Hey, stay away from my uncle," Song Xiaoyi pushed Chi Ning with a raised tone, "I told you that he is my idol, otherwise I would throw you away."

It's rare for Chi Ning to see her so lively and energetic, now she's smiling, her threatening tone is full of cuteness.It seems that it is entirely out of the small mind of an adolescent girl. Seeing others getting close to her idol makes her heart sour.

Chi Ning also smiled, "I know."
