wait, i'm chasing you

The station is not very far from Chen Yiran's mother's house. After walking for a while, he arrived at the gate of the community. Hao Chen pulled on the guitar strap, feeling a little nervous.

"Do you think I should buy something first before going up?" Hao Chen hesitated and stood there looking at Chen Yiran. This could be regarded as meeting his parents...

"Huh? What to buy?" Chen Yiran turned to look at him in doubt.

Hao Chen thought about the things he usually gave during the Chinese New Year: "Just... fruit, milk, etc..."

Chen Yiran pinched his face a little funny: "You are going to be a tutor, not to visit the elders, first figure out our purpose this time, okay..."

"I know..." Hao Chen turned his face away and muttered in a low voice, "That's to see your family too..."

"Come on." Chen Yiran rubbed his hair with a smile, "Shun Shun Mao, don't be scared, don't be nervous, Mr. Hao."

"I'm not nervous." Hao Chen patted his hand away, grabbed the guitar and continued to walk in. After walking two steps, he looked back at him, "Which building?"

Chen Yiran stretched out his hand and pointed: "Go to the right."

Chen Yiran followed behind Hao Chen, pointing him the way like a GPS navigator.

Strictly speaking, it should be the Xiao family.

Although this is the wedding room Xiao Hongwei bought for Qi Wei, and his mother lives here, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with him.

He told Hao Chen before that Xiao Hongwei treated him well, he was really good, and it could be seen that he once wanted to treat himself like his own son.

But Qi Wei didn't take him away, she left him to her biological father, Chen Xu, in that empty house, even though they were clearly in the same city.

"I have my life, and you will have yours. You will start a family sooner or later. There is no need to follow me all the time. I will give you the living expenses. If you really need it, you can come to me."

Outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, Qi Wei spoke very rationally, so rational that he didn't care about his crying and staying. To her, he seemed to be just a relative with some blood, not a child she was willing to shelter from the wind and rain.

Chen Xu was smoking a cigarette at the side, silently did not look at him, but only Xiao Hongwei persuaded Qi Wei for him with a little helplessness, and was willing to let him stay by their side.

But Qi Wei is very firm, she wants a brand new start.

So gradually, to Chen Yiran, Xiao Hongwei became the one who snatched away his only family member, almost a little angry, he didn't want to have any contact with them, even if Xiao Hongwei would come here after school When picking him up for dinner, he would deliberately avoid seeing him.

So even now, except for the New Year, he hardly comes here on his own initiative, not because he hates it, but because he is unfamiliar.

"How many floors?"

The elevator ding interrupted Chen Yiran's thoughts. Hao Chen walked in and pressed the elevator door.

"Fifteenth floor." Chen Yiran quickly adjusted his mood, and followed with a smile, "1501, remember it."

"Hmm..." Hao Chen glanced at him hesitantly, "Will I come by myself in the future?"

Chen Yiran raised his eyebrows: "Does Teacher Xiaohao still need a pick-up service?"

"It's not impossible." Hao Chen looked back at him calmly.

Chen Yiran smiled, and when he reached the fifteenth floor, the elevator opened with a ding.

"Okay, I'll think about it."

After speaking, he rang the doorbell.

An immature child voice in the room responded and shouted: "Here we come! Immediately!"

Hao Chen stood behind him, held the piano bag, and cleared his throat softly.

Seeing his reaction, Chen Yiran pinched the back of his neck and said with a light smile, "Steady, don't panic."

"I know..." Hao Chen whispered awkwardly.

When the door was opened, a seven or eight-year-old boy poked his head out, his eyes lit up instantly when he saw Chen Yiran, and he threw himself on him.

"elder brother!"

Hao Chen looked at this scene, and raised his eyebrows a little bit miraculously.

Relationship seems to be fine...

Chen Yiran caught Xiao Yueqi and patted him on the back: "Go in, your teacher is still watching."

"Oh!" Xiao Yueqi quickly stood up straight after hearing this, and bowed obediently to Hao Chen, "Hello, teacher!"

Hao Chen kept his usual composure, and nodded lightly: "Hello."

"mom."

In the living room, Qi Wei was sitting on the sofa reading a book. When she saw them entering the door, she just raised her eyes lightly and paused for a while on Hao Chen's body as a greeting.

"Hello Auntie."

Looking at Qi Wei, Hao Chen politely opened his mouth.

"Yue Qi has never learned a musical instrument, let's take it as an audition today, if he thinks it's okay, I will trouble you in the future." Qi Wei said bluntly.

"Yes, I know." Hao Chen simply agreed.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yueqi walking over with two glasses of juice, which should be orange juice in color.

"Teacher, I squeezed the juice, you should drink some first."

"Oh...thanks..."

Seeing him trembling every step, Hao Chen hurriedly picked him up, always feeling that if he took two more steps, he would have to spill the ground.

Another cup was delivered to Chen Yiran. After completing this important event, Xiao Yueqi started to chat with his two brothers about everything from fruit juice to why he wanted to learn guitar like a chatterbox.

Hao Chen looked at Chen Yiran, a little helpless.

This class hasn't even started yet, your brother is too enthusiastic...

Chen Yiran winked at him a little funny, reached out to take off the guitar for him, and stretched out his hand to scratch Xiao Yueqi's nose.

"Yueqi, let's go to class first, and then we'll talk after class."

After hearing this, Xiao Yueqi raised the corner of his mouth: "Brother, wait for me to finish class!"

"Well, I'll be waiting for you." Chen Yiran promised.

Seeing Chen Yiran looking over, Hao Chen smiled lightly and nodded, followed Xiao Yueqi to the study.

Chen Yiran sat next to Qi Wei, drinking juice with his head down.

He and Qi Wei have always been like this, just like strangers who happen to sit together, they don't have much to talk about, and they don't want to chat about anything.

But Qi Wei still took the initiative to speak today. After all, she brought someone to her home, so it is normal to ask.

"Is he your classmate?"

"No, it's my... my friend."

Qi Wei responded, and said in a firm tone: "You have a very good relationship."

"Yeah." Chen Yiran raised the corners of his mouth, "It's very good."

Qi Wei didn't speak any more, and continued to read her book.

In the study room, Xiao Yueqi looked at Hao Chen who was arranging the guitar, and asked tentatively with staring eyes: "Teacher, are you good friends with my brother?"

Hao Chen smiled and looked up at him: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yueqi leaned on the back of the chair as if he was relieved, and calmed himself down: "That's good, that's good, if that's the case, teacher, if you come to teach me in the future, maybe my brother will come with you, This way I can spend a little longer with my brother."

Hao Chen was a little surprised: "I like your brother so much?"

"That's right." Xiao Yueqi nodded heavily, and then depressed depressedly, "But I can count the number of times I saw him in one year, he seems to be always busy, anyway, it's hard to see him. "

"You can go to him."

Hao Chen looked at him as if I was too difficult, couldn't help smiling, and remembered how Chen Yiran took care of Er Ya before, that guy seemed to like children quite a lot.

"I've looked for it, but my brother always told me to study hard and not run around."

Xiao Yueqi sighed and said: "I am a primary school student, how can there be so much to learn, so after much deliberation, I decided to learn guitar, and then asked him to find me a tutor, so that I can see him again. He, he won't say that I don't study hard."

Xiao Yueqi seemed to feel that he had made a very wise decision, shaking his head and smiling happily.

Hao Chen raised his eyebrows: "So what you said about how much you like guitars outside, are all made up?"

"No." Xiao Yueqi sat down immediately, with a quiet and obedient appearance, trying to cover up the fact that just happened.

In the end, he still couldn't resist Hao Chen's attacking eyes, and said with his head bowed: "These two don't conflict...well, I was wrong..."

Xiao Yueqi is very cute. The child's face can't be described as handsome, but beautiful is really beautiful. After all, he and Chen Yiran are still connected by the same blood, and their eyes are surprisingly similar.

So he admitted his mistake with a bit of coquettishness, and it was easy for Hao Chen to think of Chen Yiran, and his heart softened in a mess.

Rare smiled softly, and handed Xiao Yueqi's guitar to him.

"Okay, class has started."

Since Xiao Yueqi had no foundation, Hao Chen simply explained to him the structure and playing methods of the guitar, and taught him some music theory along with the relatively elementary sheet music.

After one class, Hao Chen found that this little guy was quite talented in this area, basically he could understand what he was taught, and sometimes he could even make inferences.

Hao Chen had never been a teacher before, and he taught in his own way, but he and Xiao Yueqi were unexpectedly in tune.

"Even if you're not my brother's friend, I'd be happy to let you be my teacher."

It was Xiao Yueqi's evaluation to Hao Chen at the end.

So the part-time job of tutoring was given by Xiao Yueqi.

Xiao Yueqi was willing, but Qi Wei didn't ask any more questions. Her education method has always been like this, you decide your own affairs, as long as it's not too much, she never asks.

After simply setting the usual class time, Chen Yiran was dragged by Xiao Yueqi, reading his picture album for a while, and talking about his friends for a while.

Hao Chen sat on the sofa, quietly watching the chat between the two brothers.

Chen Yiran didn't dislike Xiao Yueqi, and even took care of him.

He would pour water for him when he talked too much, and would also hand him half of the peeled fruit. Of course, Hao Chen took care of the remaining half.

As if he was afraid that he would be embarrassed and bored waiting, he always glanced at him from time to time, and Hao Chen smiled at him faintly.

Qi Wei still reads her novel, like a built-in isolation system, not responding to the conversations between them, and sometimes glances at them when turning pages, but there is no substantive content.

It wasn't until dinner that Qi Wei asked if they wanted to stay for dinner, but Chen Yiran rejected them on the grounds that Hao Chen still had to go to school, so Qi Wei didn't say anything else, and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner by herself.

"Brother, can you come with the teacher when I am in class?"

Before leaving, Xiao Yueqi finally told Chen Yiran his intention.

Chen Yiran glanced at Hao Chen, who raised his eyebrows aside, and nodded with a smile: "If there's nothing else, I'll come here together."
