Ning Shu put the takeaway on the table, walked to the window, and swept the pile of scattered rose petals in front of the building.Looking at Ming Xi who deliberately lowered his head not to look at him, he seemed to understand something.

"Has anyone been here today?" Ning Shu asked, with a laziness in his voice, and put down the curtains.

"There is... a strange person." Ming Xi swallowed, as if he had glimpsed some secret that he shouldn't know, feeling at a loss, "I didn't let him in."

"Oh, did he say anything?"

"Yes..." Mingxi looked up at him, but his voice was still not normal, "He said he likes you..."

Ning Shu sat next to him, fixed his eyes on him, and said with a half-smile: "What are you talking about?"

"like you."

But at this moment, Ning Shu lowered his head and kissed the corner of Ming Xi's eyes, just for a moment, the kiss was extremely light.Caught off guard, Ming Xi froze there, and then heard Ning Shu chuckle in his ear, and said in a low voice: "I like Xiao Mingxi too."

The warm breath blowing against Ming Xi's ears made him forget to push Ning Shu away.

Ning Shu's captivating face was very close at hand, and the teasing expression in those eyes was extremely strong, Ming Xi stared blankly for a long time before suddenly pushing him away in a panic.

Rather than shrugging, she collapsed on the carpet, lying down and blinking at him.

This monstrosity... Mingxi was a little angrily.

Ning Shu still smiled, sat up and made a gesture to hug him again.

When Ming Xi fled back to his room in a hurry, Ning Shu was lying on the carpet laughing unscrupulously.

This kid, it would be fun to tease him like this every day.

Ning Shu didn't go out the next day, lying on the sofa waiting for something.Ming Xi is still doing her homework obediently, but secretly glances at Ning Shu from time to time.

Why is this person acting like nothing happened...

When the doorbell rang, Ning Shu lazily went to open the door.From Mingxi's perspective, he couldn't see who was at the door, so he lowered his eyes and flipped through the math book absently.

Gu Huai, who opened the door and entered, felt it was strange, except for these few people, Ning Shu's family never welcomed anyone, but what happened to this child who appeared out of nowhere?

He even took a step back to check the house number, pushed his glasses to make sure that he did not go to the wrong door, and then hesitantly glanced at Ning Shu.

Ming Xi sat on the side and wrote quickly, without looking at Gu Huai, since he didn't know him anyway.

Could it be the illegitimate child that Ning Shu messed up outside?

Gu Huai shook his head, no, even if he took ten thousand steps back and said that Ning Shu's brain twitched and became interested in women, this child is not too young, based on his age, he shouldn't be.

Gu Huai frowned, lowered his voice and asked, "Where did this kid come from?"

Ning Shu replied seriously: "I picked up a conch by the side of the road a few days ago."

"……what?"

"He turned into a boy after taking him home overnight, and he can help me clean up, and when he grows up, he will be able to cook." Ning Shu said with a serious face, "His name is Conch Boy."

Ning Shu's voice was not suppressed, Ming Xi who was sitting on the side heard it clearly, the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely, but he still lowered his head and did not speak to refute.

"Do you think I don't have a childhood? That's not how the story of the Conch Fairy was changed!" Gu Huai said angrily, "Talk to me!!"

"I really picked it up." Ning Shu shrugged, "Believe it or not."

Gu Huai followed Ning Shu into the kitchen, frowning and asked him, "Lately I like cultivating the department? Where did this kid get tricked?"

"I won't be so mad as to lie to the child." Ning Shu turned to look at him, with a righteous expression on his face, "The child did it voluntarily, and I don't have any dirty thoughts. I am protecting the motherland. Flower bone."

Gu Huai didn't really believe it, he didn't dare to say how much he knew Ning Shu, but at least he knew that this person would not easily let a stranger into his house.

Even, is a poor child.

Ning Shu followed Gu Huai's gaze, Ming Xi was still lying on the table doing homework, not paying attention to the two of them at all.

"That's just a child." Ning Shu muttered to himself, as if explaining to Gu Huai, but also as if trying to convince himself, "I won't have any weird thoughts about a child..."

Mingxi was only a 13-year-old child, and he helped him because of his great compassion, it should be, that's all.

What can I think?Ning Shu comforted himself like this.

Eating lunch was extremely weird, Gu Huai always looked at Ming Xi with a trace of inquiry, but Ming Xi just lowered his head and ate vigorously without speaking.As for Ning Shu, he still kept aloof from the matter, but he didn't know if it was just an act.

In the afternoon, Ning Shu didn't know what he and Gu Huai were talking about, Ming Xi sat in his room, couldn't hear clearly, and didn't want to know.He was afraid that if he knew too much, he would be kicked out sooner or later.

After the weekend is over, Mingxi will obediently go to school.It's almost the end of the term now, and I don't know if I can keep up with the progress, so that Ming Xi was a little nervous when he was having breakfast.

This time, it was Ning Shu who sent him there.

"Turn right out of the gate of the community, and there is a bus stop about 50 meters away. Bus No. 225 will take three stops to the school. Remember?"

Mingxi wrote it down silently.

However, it wasn't until the two of them got off the bus that Ming Xi discovered something different: "This is not No. [-] Middle School."

"Do you think Twelfth High School will still want you if you skipped classes for so long?" Ning Shu turned his head to look at him, but said bluntly, "Twelfth High School is too far away, but here is close."

"Thirteenth High School?" Ming Xi looked at the bustling students at the school gate, and suddenly glanced at Ning Shu with some hesitation.Although the names of the thirteenth middle school and the twelfth middle school are close, they are actually worlds apart, and the thirteenth middle school at the top of the pyramid is not easy to enter.

It's just that this person helped him finish all this in such a short time.

Ming Xi is actually confused, even if he owes money, but based on what Ning Shu paid, the debt is a loss no matter what.

This person doesn't say anything, but he is really kind.

Ning Shu didn't care, dragged him into the Academic Affairs Office, took him to the door of the classroom after receiving his school uniform.Patting him on the shoulder, he said earnestly: "Study hard." He left in a cool manner.

Mingxi stood in front of the classroom door and stared blankly at his back, his heart suddenly softened.

In fact, bullying new students is an inherent tradition in every school, even the [-]th Middle School, which is famous for its strict management.

They don't have much enmity with each other, but if they don't fight, they feel that something is missing, and they feel uncomfortable all over.Ming Xi was not a character who was willing to suffer at first, a 13-year-old boy was willing to do so at any moment.

Ming Xi has always had a fighting personality since he was a child. Recently, because he lived in Ning Shu's house and dared not make any moves, he restrained himself a little.It's just that when it's time to leave school, it's another matter to be cornered by people swearing.

As a result, Ning Shu did not wait for Mingxi to come back in the evening, but instead waited for a call from the school's academic affairs office.

Ming Xi waited for him silently in the hospital with bandages on. The smell of disinfectant on the tip of his nose made him feel even more irritable. When Ning Shu rushed over in a hurry, he didn't dare to look up at him.

This has been the case since I was a child. If you don't fight back when you are faced with a fist, but endure it silently, that is the bad luck of being bullied all the time.There are very few nurses in the orphanage, and they can't manage so many children. Besides, in their opinion, this is just a little joke made by the children.In order to protect himself, he almost wanted to fight back.

I always thought that there was nothing wrong with this, but this time it caused trouble.Ming Xi silently lowered his eyes, not daring to look into Ning Shu's eyes.

Would he feel disappointed... He would probably be kicked out mercilessly.On the first day of school, this kind of thing happened.

"Mr. Ning," the grade director said with a serious face, "Mingxi injured all three of his classmates on the first day of school. We decided to..."

"Which eye of yours saw Ming Xi take the initiative to hit someone?" Ning Shu finished examining Ming Xi's wound, then turned his head to stare at her, "My family Ming Xi is very obedient and never initiates trouble."

"what do you mean……"

"If you can't listen to those kids, it's Mingxi's fault." Ning Shu said with a smile, "Self-defense can't be used as a reason for demerit."

Ming Xi sat on the side and listened clearly, but still didn't dare to look up at Ning Shu, but the hand that had been clenched into a fist by his side was slowly loosened.

In the evening, Ming Xi sat at the dining table, and finally asked hesitantly, "Why aren't you angry?

Ning Shu handed him the chopsticks and said, "I also went through middle school. It's not uncommon to encounter such things."

"Are you forced to kneel down too?"

"No." Ning Shu turned to look at him and said with a smile, "I was forced to date."

"……Oh."

Ming Xi poked at the dishes on the plate, then asked in a hoarse voice: "Then why do you believe me? Why...are you willing to speak for me?"

Only this time, Ning Shu didn't respond.

Mingxi waited for a long time, and asked again unwillingly.

But Ning Shu just moved the food in front of him, coughed dryly and said, "Don't talk while eating."

Ming Xi knew each other so well that he didn't pursue further.Ning Shu didn't know what to do in his heart.

Why are you willing to believe him?Subconsciously, I think this child will not intentionally hurt others.It's just that I haven't known him for a few days, so how could I have such a strong desire for sex.

Ning Shu thought of Gu Huai's suspicious eyes, but suddenly felt a little uncertain in his heart.

Ming Xi is just a child... He muttered these words silently, as if as long as he did this, he could dispel the weird feeling in his heart.

It's just that this kind of behavior counts as self-deception?
