small tutor

Do you really want to know?

At around five o'clock in the morning the next day, before it was very bright, the people at the villa finally dispersed, and Zhao Fang came to the hotel to pick them up.

Zhao Fang worked in Li Chengye's company in the middle of the night, her eyes were black and blue, and the red blood in her eyes was clearly visible.

Li Tian called out "Auntie" in a trembling voice, Zhao Fang stroked his hair distressedly, and sighed while frowning.

When he lowered his head, he saw a circle of black stains on Zhao Fang's white suit trousers, and his heart suddenly felt sore.

The entire small courtyard in front of the villa was messed up by a group of people yesterday.The landscape and the lawn were trampled down, several potted plants were smashed, black soil was scattered all over the ground, and broken ceramic pieces were everywhere.In the room on the first floor, there were red paint painted circles with unknown meaning on the two panes of glass, and one of the panes of glass was smashed, and there were cracks spreading from a certain point like a spider web.

Fortunately, it was not affected.

As soon as he got back to his room, Li Tian immediately took out a piece of paper, intending to write a letter to his father.

Although we can't meet face to face, it is a way of communication anyway.

In the next room, Qin Fei was cleaning Ju Youjin's food bowl, filling it with clean water and cat food.Cats are easily frightened, and it took Qin Fei a long time to find it hiding in the corner between two boxes under the bed.

Not long after settling down, the two were called out by Zhao Fang.Zhao Fang called them to the balcony on the third floor, pointed to the distance, and said with an uneasy expression, "Look over there."

The direction she pointed was the gate of the community, where three or four black cars of the same model were parked.

"Living here is too conspicuous, and it's easy to be troubled by others." Zhao Fang paused, "Maybe we have to consider moving..."

Both of them were taken aback.

Seeing Li Tian's pale complexion, Zhao Fang comforted her, "I just moved away temporarily, and I can come back after your father comes out, but the situation is special now..."

No need for her to explain, Li Tian knew that this was the right decision.He knows who the "troublesome people" Zhao Fang refers to are.

It's just a heavy heart hanging high again.

He originally thought that after returning here, he could temporarily settle down for a while, even for a day, at least it would give him some room to think and relax.

Unexpectedly, one thing after another came to the door.

"Xiao Li, you..." Zhao Fang thought about it, her eyes fell on Li Tian hesitantly, "Your father wants you to go back and live with your grandfather."

Li Tian bit his lip, subconsciously glanced at Qin Fei, and said softly: "Then you—"

Zhao Fang shook her head and sighed: "Your father and I probably won't be able to get married..."

Li Tian opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

He understood Zhao Fang, and believed that Li Chengye probably thought the same way.

He didn't want to interfere with the adult's decision, but for some reason, his heart was so blocked that he could hardly breathe.

Back in the bedroom, Li Tian collapsed on the bed, his eyes fell on the ceiling, slightly out of focus, he was so tired that he couldn't even move a finger.

Is he going to leave this place where he has lived for seven or eight years?

When can I see his dad?

Is he going to separate from Qin Fei?

Countless questions flooded into his mind, causing a dull pain in his head.

The mobile phone was buzzing and vibrating on the side of the bed, Li Tian used his last bit of strength to fish it over and looked at it, and found that Yuan Licheng and Xie Jiuzhang had sent him many WeChat messages.

But he didn't even have the strength to reply, he just glanced at it and threw it aside, then closed his eyes heavily.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, it was already dark.

He heard the sound of the wheels of the suitcase next door rolling on the ground, grunting, as if it was running over his heart.

Probably Qin Fei was packing up his things and preparing to leave.

Li Tianhou bewilderedly thought that he would only see Qin Fei at school in the future.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and Qin Fei came in and sat down beside his bed.For a long while, neither of them spoke.After a while, Qin Fei said slowly, "We'll probably leave tomorrow morning."

Li Tian was stunned for a while.

"So fast?" After speaking, he realized that his voice was a little hoarse, like a frosted board.

"Well, I plan to go back to the old house." Qin Fei's voice was very calm, and he couldn't hear any emotional ups and downs. "What about you? When are you leaving?"

Li Tian grabbed a corner of the pillow, stacked it up and put it down again, silently said: "I don't know..."

He twitched the corner of his mouth, and then showed a wry smile: "I don't even know how to tell my grandpa, for fear of scaring him."

The two sat in silence for a while, and suddenly Li Tian thought of something: "Then what about your cat, Nanfeng? Does your mother allow you to take it back?"

"Probably not." Qin Fei lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I want to send it to the Animal House."

"Ah."

"Do you need me to help you pack your things?"

Li Tian shook his head.

He didn't want to bother Qin Fei in the end, after all Qin Fei...not even his brother.

"You—" Qin Fei looked at him, his eyes fluctuated, and hesitantly asked, "Do you want to live with me?"

Li Tian was stunned for two seconds before realizing the meaning of his words, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"My hometown is far away from the city, so I want to rent a house near the attached middle school. If you want, you can..."

Qin Fei paused, looked at Li Tian, ​​stopped talking, but waited for his answer.

His expression remained the same, but his heart became inexplicably nervous.

"Did Auntie agree?" Li Tian couldn't believe Qin Fei's proposal.

Qin Fei nodded.

Li Tian was like a person who had been floating on the sea for a long time, suddenly caught a piece of wood, and finally found a little comforting thing among a bunch of bad things.

-

Qin Fei's mobility is very strong, and it didn't take long to see a small house of about [-] square meters in a community with a good environment around the attached middle school.

The room has two bedrooms and one living room. It used to be a family who accompanied their children to take the college entrance examination. The house is complete with all kinds of furniture and electrical appliances.

After Li Tian packed his things, he asked Qin Fei how much the rent was, and wanted to transfer it to him, but Qin Fei refused.

"My mother paid for it. She told me not to charge you."

Li Tian was speechless for a long while.

After tossing and moving in, Li Tian planned to sort out his funds.

The cards on which he saved the most money were all under Li Chengye's name, and they have been frozen now, and he can't withdraw the money.

There was only one card left in his own name, which contained 5000 yuan, plus the balance in Alipay and WeChat, and only 1 yuan was scraped together.

This is all his savings now.

There is no news from his father yet, he has to find a way to live on his own.

He took out his mobile phone, called Xie Jiuzhang, and asked him if he would like to accept his previous piano.

"The Steinway triangle?" Xie Jiuzhang was surprised, "You don't want it?"

"Well, there are many students at your mother's place, please help me to ask if anyone wants it."

"Before I let you go out, you were still reluctant, why do you suddenly want to go out now?"

Li Tian was silent for two seconds: "It's a long story..."

After hearing his story, Xie Jiuzhang was so shocked that he didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he hesitated and said: "Okay... I'll help you ask."

"The piano is stored in a piano store. If I find a buyer, I can take him to see it."

After Li Tian finished speaking, he was about to hang up the phone, when Xie Jiuzhang said suddenly: "If you need money, you can borrow it from me, don't rush to get the piano, just in case..."

"There's nothing else to do." Li Tianxin said, "That's it."

He has figured it out.

His current physical condition can't take the professional route at all. Even if he wants to pick it up again, it's a waste to use such an expensive piano.Besides, this road is too expensive, and there will probably be no chance in the future...

His father doesn't know when he will be able to come out, and whether the company can continue to operate is also a problem. He will probably need money at that time, and he has to find a way to help his father prepare some.

After removing the most expensive item, the only things left to sell are two old mobile phones, an Apple computer and a tablet.Li Tian was ruthless, and hung these, along with a bunch of new shoes he hadn't worn much, on Xianyu.

He never thought that he would have the courage he has today.

The first thing to sell was his tablet. After pushing and pulling with the seller for a long time, he finally sold it at a price of 5000 yuan.

As soon as he got the money, he took out two thousand and called Lao Li.If he remembered correctly, Li Chengye usually pays Lao Li's living expenses at the beginning of the month, but he doesn't know how much his father pays each time, and he only has such a small deposit now.

Lao Li refused to accept it.

He had already heard some news from other relatives, so he called Li Tian to ask where he lived.After learning that Li Tian lived near the school with his friends, he was relieved, and in turn comforted Li Tian, ​​telling him not to worry too much about his father, eat well, sleep well, he still has a pension, and he is not short of money at all. .

After hanging up the phone, Li Tian's mobile online banking reminded that someone had transferred 3 yuan to him, and the name of the transfer user was displayed as Lao Li.

He couldn't speak for a moment, and a sour hot stream surged through his nostrils.

He even considered himself lucky.

After Li Chengye's accident, all the people he met were gentle and kind, the nanny who made the last meal of sauerkraut and fish before moving, the neighbor who was willing to help them take care of a yard of flowers and plants, Zhao Fang and Qin Fei who took him in, and There is Lao Li who transferred all his pension to him...

Too many things happened these days, Li Tian tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep all night.

The body is extremely tired, but the nerves are still tense.

Strange room, strange bed, strange smell.

He heard the chirping of birds starting at four o'clock, the grunt of vendors pushing carts passing by downstairs, the sound of wheels rolling over gravel on the road beside the street...

Then the person next door got up and came out to wash.

Li Tian couldn't fall asleep, so he simply got up.Qin Fei was a little surprised to see him get up so early: "Don't sleep for a while?"

Li Tian shook his head with black eyes under his eyes.

"Didn't sleep well."

"Yeah, I'm a bit skeptical." Li Tian said lightly.He knew that even if he went back to the villa now and slept on his familiar bed, he might not be able to sleep.

Qin Fei made two bowls of oatmeal with hot milk, and took eggs from the egg cooker and handed them to Li Tian: "Eat whatever you want. There is no pot for cooking porridge here. I'll go to the supermarket after school."

Li Tian tore open the shell of the egg, took a bite, and found that Qin Fei's egg was boiled as he liked it to be runny.

"Teacher Qin." Li Tian called out in a low voice.

"Ok?"

"I just want to ask..." Li Tian hesitated for a while, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, lowered his eyes, fiddled with the oatmeal in the bowl with a spoon, and said in a low voice, "You are no longer my brother, why do you still want to ask?" Take me to rent a house together?"

He added the landlord's WeChat yesterday, and only then did he know that Qin Fei had already started looking for a two-bedroom apartment with a desk a few days ago, which means that Qin Fei probably planned to...

Qin Fei looked at him quietly for a while, and after a while, he said calmly: "Do you really want to know?"

Li Tian let out a "hmm".

Qin Fei raised his eyes, the emotions in his dark and deep eyes were dim.

"Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?"

Li Tian was startled for a moment: "What is the lie?"

"Because I feel sorry for you."

Li Tian bit his lower lip: "What about the truth?"

Qin Fei was silent for a while, then said softly, "I... don't want to be separated from you."
