evening tide

A month passed without incident, and Chao Xin thought that Paipai should have achieved some success in the piano art, but Paipai told her with difficulty that she had lost her fandom.

Papai's path to school was very honest, she didn't have any nymphomaniacs after class, and she didn't talk about being a girlfriend fan anymore. Chao Xin thought she was obsessed with studying and changed her ways, but she told Chao Xin a few months later that she had taken off. Powdered.

On a sunny Friday, Paipai finished his after-school class early, and when he returned home, amidst the increasingly strong smell of rice, he picked up the water glass on the coffee table and drank it all in one gulp.

"Auntie, let me discuss with you, can I stop my Guqin class?" The little dumb voice was moistened, but it was still not enough.

"Why?" Chao Xin put the fish on the steamer, not taking it seriously.

"I can't take it anymore." Paipai sat on the chair astride his back, pulling the back of the chair with his hands.

"Ok?"

"You don't know, Teacher Xiang..." Paipai hesitated.

Then start pouring the beans.

"At the beginning, she is still normal, she just sits and teaches the piano, fingering the piano score and so on, and she is quite patient."

"Starting from the third week." Paipai walked to Chao Xin's side, lowered his voice, and spoke in a suspenseful tone.

"There's something wrong with her." She shook her head.

"Something wrong?" Chao Xin frowned.

"One day I crossed my legs and dangled my feet. She was not happy. She said that I didn't respect her. She also told me very seriously, 'One day is a teacher and a lifetime is a father', let me treat her like a father."

"That's what she said," Papai cleared his throat, "Well, since I have become your master, you should listen to me, and you should not be rebellious in your actions, and respect your teacher."

Wen Crapei's voice was up and down, Pa Pai was about to cry, and he said to Chao Xin, "You know what? It's like Xiao Long Nu."

Chao Xin couldn't believe it, but after thinking about it, the corners of his mouth twitched again.

"In the fifth week, she took my transparent ruler and used it as a ruler, and walked back and forth behind her hand. If I played a wrong one, she asked me to reach out and hit me." up.

"I told her it was corporal punishment! It was corporal punishment!"

"She said, I don't understand!"

Paipai was so angry that he lost his voice, wiped away his tears, and wanted to drink some more water.

Chao Xin comforted her: "Teacher Xiang...isn't like someone who punishes corporal punishment."

It looks very gentle.

"Save your life! You've all been deceived by her appearance!" Paipai really wept, her eyes clenched with aggrieved little fists, "In the eighth week, she asked me to recite "Shi Shuo."

She was crying and hoarse with her little milk voice: "I learn a guqin, and I have to recite "Teacher's Talk". I'm only ten years old..."

His throat was trembling, and his tremolo trembled for a long time.

Without waiting for the warm embrace she had imagined, she heard an uncontrollable gasp, then she raised her head with red eyes, and saw Chao Xin with his back to her, with his hands resting on the edge of the pool, his shoulders heaving together, and finally Trembling with high frequency.

She was laughing, and laughing.

"Chao Xin, you've really gone too far." Pa Pai wiped away tears with the back of his hand, never believing in this world anymore.

"I will run away from home, I will." She wept bitterly, sobbing.

"Don't." The trembling back gave her a sigh of relief, squeezed out the word from his throat, and smiled.

Chao Xin stretched out his hand to support his forehead, and in the midst of Pa Pai's whimpering, he added weakly: "Don't."

"I... I'll talk to her." The voice distorted.

"You, poof, you go out first."

Papai howled "Wow", blushed, and walked out tearfully.

Her mouth was dry from crying, and she poured herself water as she squeezed her tears.

After the two of them calmed down, they had a meal without saying a word, and then Chao Xin called Xiang Wan.

"Hi, Wan Wan."

She has been calling her Wanwan since last month.

Xiang Wan seemed to be washing the dishes, holding the mobile phone between his head, the sound of this action was not too crisp, a little sticky: "Teacher Chao, what's wrong?"

"Well," Chao Xin is not used to lying, and raised his hand to cover his mouth slightly, "Tomorrow there is something at the Papai school, so the class will be cancelled."

"Okay." Xiang Wan remembered it, thinking about what to do tomorrow.

Chao Xin didn't hang up the phone, maybe because she was a little embarrassed because of the temporary change, so she asked her, "Do you have any plans for tomorrow?"

"I... probably want to make an appointment with an intermediary."

"intermediary?"

"I started school in September, and now it's June. It just so happens that the house is due, so I don't want to continue." After washing and drying his hands, Xiang Wan took the phone and went to the living room persistently.

Hearing the sound of her light slippers, Chao Xin waited for her to sit on the sofa before asking, "Why don't you want to continue?"

"I'm going to Jiang University to study at the beginning of school, but I don't want to live in a dormitory, because I still have a job, and I often go back at night, which may disturb my roommate's rest, and I also often guest star in some non-studio-recorded dramas, and occasionally record a few at home. The dormitory environment is not very convenient.”

"My house is too far away from Jiangda University. If I take the subway, it will take me an hour and I have to change trains three times."

Jiang Da was near Chao Xin's house, and she knew the distance. The last time she drove to Xiangwan by herself, it took more than 40 minutes one way.

"Then are you planning to rent one near Jiang University?"

"Yes. But..." Xiang Wan hesitated.

"Near Jiang University, the rent is very high," Chao Xin said.

In fact, getting along with Chao Xin is very comfortable, because she is not sociable, usually straightforward, and she doesn't have too many hesitating moments.

He also didn't consider whether Xiang Wan was in short supply, or whether he should save face for her or not.

"Yes," so Xiang Wan also said kindly, "I am an adult self-study exam. There is no education subsidy for the tuition fee, which is already a lot of money. Now I am really shy in my pocket. Maybe, I can share the rent with others."

Chao Xin smiled and paused for a while, as if to pour a glass of water.

Then he said in the soft sound of running water: "It's better to live in my house than renting with others."

Xiang Wan knew that Henghu International bought a school district house for Papai. Since it was very close to the primary school near Jiang University, it was only two streets away from Jiang University, and Chao Xin’s home had a small recording studio with soundproof cotton, and even a Xiang Wan had visited the small foley room before, and was quite interested.

The environment of Chao Xin's home is very suitable for schooling and recording.

In addition, it is much more convenient for her to be a tutor of Papai now, and to take classes with foreign teachers together.

But... everything is going too smoothly, and she is a bit difficult in terms of human relations.

In fact, Xiang Wan didn't hesitate much about this opportunity, which was as smooth as "arranged by God" or "meeting a pillow while dozing off", just like receiving the help from Su Chang and Yu Zhou back then.

It's just that when she moved out of Yu Zhou's house, she went through a powerful desensitization process, and she didn't want to live with her friends anymore.

She also has bad roots, because she is a floating weed in this world, she is too easy to be greedy for the warmth of the family, she is afraid, afraid that after experiencing the excitement that she thought she was stable, she will be forced to separate again.

She can't even keep a cat.

Hearing that Xiang Wan remained silent, Chao Xin said again: "I didn't let you live in vain. You can pay me the rent according to your current rent price, or your shared budget. I will also..."

She also subsidizes a little mortgage.

The house was bought big because there were no small apartments in this community, but because of the license plate, it was inconvenient for her to rent the empty bedroom to strangers.

Therefore, if Xiang Wan lives in, he can kill two birds with one stone.

Xiang Wan understood what she meant, and Chao Xin's tone was very similar to Xiang Wan's saying that he would trade guqin lessons for foreign teachers.

They all need money equally.

Xiang Wan said, "Let me think about it, or I'll go to the surrounding neighborhoods first."

"Then, I'll accompany you. I just happen to be free tomorrow." Chao Xin said.

"Ah."

"Do you want to go tomorrow in the morning or in the afternoon?"

"Morning, I want to see more."

"Then I..." Chao Xin raised her wrist again, and looked at her watch habitually. Actually, she didn't need it. She just made such a subconscious movement when thinking about the time.

"Then I'll be downstairs at your house at 09:30, and you should make an appointment with the agency in advance."

"Okay, thank you Teacher Chao."

"You're welcome." Chao Xin smiled, and Xiang Wan helped her a lot. She accepted Peng Houzhi's radio play, and knew that it was Xiang Wan's call.So the one who should say thank you is myself.

"Go to bed early, see you tomorrow." Chao Xin said again.

"okay, see you tomorrow."
