Boss, your dragon!

The room was pitch black, Xu Tan opened his eyes and blinked before realizing that he had finally returned to reality.

The dry corners of the eyes were stained with cool moisture, and soon, a pair of warm hands stretched out from the darkness, and gently wiped away the barely traceable tears.

Through the dim moonlight, he saw clearly the half-kneeling youth beside the bed.

Xu Nuo said softly, "You are crying."

Xu Tan didn't speak, but thought in his heart, this tear was already five years late.He should have cried bitterly, but after waking up, the memories related to Zhu Yu were far away from him again, like watching flowers in the fog, a big dream.

Like a restless little beast, Xu Nuo buried his head in his arms and called out in a hoarse voice, "Brother——"

Xu Qin wrapped his arms around his back through the quilt, and opened his eyes to look at the geometric pattern of light and dark on the ceiling.After a while, he said, "So, you are not my brother."

The warm shoulders under his hands stiffened instantly, Xu Nuo suddenly raised his head, and the darkness couldn't hide his pale face.

"No." Xu Nuo's voice trembled slightly, "It's not like that. You don't need anyone else, as long as you have me, as long as you have me..." He murmured and repeated, touching Xu Tan's palm, "You No younger brother, no parents. Only I will not betray you, and I will always protect you."

Touching the short hair in his hand, Xu Tan suddenly felt like laughing, obviously he had deceived him, but he made a fuss as if he was the one who betrayed his heart.He half stood up and turned on the desk lamp.

Xu Tan leaned halfway on the head of the bed, a few locks of soft black hair hung down on his collarbone, the hair was slightly messed up, adding a bit of bohemian beauty.Xu Nuo knelt under the edge of the bed, raised his head to look at him, his heart was beating like thunder, as if he was waiting for the final judgment.

Xu Qin raised his hand to pinch his chin, forced him to look at him, and said slowly: "Five years ago, about Zhu Yu, why did you lie to me?"

Xu Nuo's pupils contracted indiscernibly, and he lowered his gaze as if being scalded: "I..." He struggled, and finally whispered, "I just... don't want to see you sad."

Xu Tan looked at him for a while, then let go of his hands and stood up.

"Brother—" Xu Nuo hastily chased after him two steps.

"Do you know that since childhood, when you lie, you have always dared not look at me," Xu Tan said in a normal tone, as if nothing had happened between the two of you, "It's getting late, go to sleep."

Xu Nuo bit his lower lip lightly, stood where he was, and watched him push the door away, without saying anything to stop him.

The lights in the living room and dining room were turned off. Xu Tan walked into the bathroom in the dark, and wiped his face with a handful of cold water.The clear water in the washbasin rippled, he propped his hands on the countertop, looked down at the ripples, and suddenly recalled the scene from a long time ago in his mind.

One day, when my father came home, he took a boy with an expressionless face and said it was his younger brother.

Mother broke down hysterically, her graceful and graceful demeanor collapsed, she rushed up like a shrew, scratching and scratching at father.The father remained silent, and took the initiative to hand out his forearm.

Without hesitation, she bit his arm, weeping.The father patted her trembling back, and after a while, he picked up the stupid wife and went upstairs.

In the messy living room, only Xu Tan and the new boy were left.

Xu Tan didn't dislike this younger brother. On the contrary, he was a little curious, and slowly crawled out of his hiding place and walked to the boy.

"What's your name?"

"No." The boy's pronunciation was a little weird, like someone who hadn't spoken for a long time, struggling to adapt to the vocal cord pronunciation skills.

"Promise?"

He nodded and added, "A promise." As he spoke, a gleam of light flickered in his estranged eyes, and he looked expectantly at Xu Tan: "Do you know how to write it?"

At that time... how did I answer?Xu Tan pushed back his half-wet hair, faced himself in the mirror, and suddenly gave a low laugh.

——When he was young, he took his younger brother's hand, opened the palm of the other's clenched palm, and wrote the word "promise" stroke by stroke.

"A promise is a promise, remember?"

Xu Nuo clenched his fists and smiled at him for the first time: "Yes."

It turns out that I named you... Xu Tan raised his hands to cover his face, and was in a state of confusion for a moment.

——They are not brothers, but they are more inseparable than brothers.Even now, he still can't get angry with Xu Nuo, or even question him.

However, there are some things that cannot be easily forgiven because of the close relationship between the two, or simply by saying "I am for your own good".He could forgive the promise that lied to him, but he couldn't forgive himself who had easily forgotten Zhu Yu.

There was a light sound from the entrance, Xu Tan walked into the living room to take a look, and sure enough, the bed was empty, Xu Nuo had disappeared.

"He's gone." A cold voice sounded behind him.

Xu Tan lightly pressed the neatly folded pajamas and was taken aback for a moment.In the darkness, the young man who was too beautiful to be real was lazily leaning against the wall, his blue eyes shimmering in the light, looked a little strange.

"It's fine to leave." Xu Qin lowered his eyes: "This is his choice."

Bai looks easy-going, but he is not a talkative person.After getting along for a long time, Xu Tan has long noticed that Bai's attitude towards everyone except Zhu Yun is even indifferent.

However, Bai did not leave immediately.He paused, and said softly: "The world is impermanent, don't wait until you miss it, and then..."

Xu Qin was slightly startled: "What?"

Before Bai could finish the second half of his sentence, he turned around and left him alone in the dark living room.

Even if Xu promised to leave quietly at night, the shared life in the apartment has not changed, but has resumed the previous rhythm.

On the contrary, Zhu Qiutian talked about Brother Nuo, sucked his saliva and missed him when he was eating, and thought about him with tears when he practiced the piano. After the promise was gone, Xu Tan's ghost animal second personality became more and more serious, and he practiced with him every day. Let him play for eight hours a day.

The effect of devil training is very obvious.Now Zhu Qiu feels sick when he sees the piano, so he ruthlessly throws his Prince Qianqiu and other piano movies and TV shows into the trash can.

Zhu Yun was very relieved at first, thinking that it was a good thing for children to quit TV dramas, but one day when they came home from get off work, they found Zhu Qiu spread out on the sofa, watching the live broadcast of toys unboxing, giggling happily.

These unboxing videos are also very rich in content, from Transformers to play house, everything.Zhu Qiu's children were decisively addicted, like a cat stuck in a catnip garden, unable to extricate itself.The second-generation young masters were all shocked, and they couldn't do anything about it—after all, they couldn't understand the pleasure of watching other people play with toys.

Seeing that Zhu Qiu was about to turn into a fat house boy addicted to live broadcasting, Zhu Yun had to make a difficult decision. After the Chinese New Year, he had to send this brat to school.

But where to send her to is another big headache. With Zhu Qiu's height and appearance, she will definitely not be able to send her to elementary school, but if she goes to middle school, her knowledge background in the culture class of the little lizard will be blank.

Middle school is no different than elementary school, and has high basic requirements for cultural courses.It is difficult to get into a good school, and he looks down on a poor school, worrying that he will spoil his child.

Zhu Yun, who was a new father, was so worried that his hair fell out a lot. He traveled all over S city to get a relationship, and finally settled on a private international school with reluctance.I plan to clean up this unlucky child and pack it into crooked nuts for a try.

Chinese is too bad?It's okay, it's not your mother tongue. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Too bad at math?It's all because Wai Nutren doesn't pay attention to mathematics education.

Don't know anything about science?Forget it, anyway, he can play the piano, so he can be regarded as an art student...

Zhu Qiulu's eyes are small and her nose is upturned. She said she is of mixed race, but it really looks like that.Trusting relationships to blow rainbow farts and stuff money, the school finally let go and asked Zhu Qiu to take an academic test.

So the little lizard's nightmare officially began.During the day, when Zhu Yun went to work, Xu Tan supervised the piano practice. When Zhu Yun came home at night, he had to make up for the problems.The students of language, foreign affairs, history, geography, and chemistry took turns beating him up. Zhu Qiu stared at his mosquito-repellent eyes, wishing he could slip out of the ventilation duct, grab the train and flee back to the mountains.

Of course, he can only think about it.Whenever he intends to be a demon, Bai will take the initiative to take Zhu Yun's place.He was leaning against the window expressionlessly playing with Snake, but Zhu Qiu had no doubts that as long as he dared to hand in a blank paper, this person would be able to swallow himself into his stomach on the spot, chewing and chewing to become a part of Snake.

What a crime—the little lizard continued to memorize the alphabet with tears in his eyes.

The international school is on Christmas holiday, so the test is arranged two weeks before the holiday, and Bai personally escorts him to take it.

Bai has been at home recently, too busy to panic.The last episode of the TV series has been completed, and he has officially transferred to Zhu's name.The new manager, Qian You, was sorting out resources and was busy with setting up the company, so he simply gave him a few months of vacation.

On the other hand, after the high-profile comeback of "Poison Fang", there was a lot of thunder and rain, and it seemed to disappear again.Lu Guangchen, who was related to this matter, made several harassing phone calls to Zhu Yun in the name of knowing the situation.Zhu Yun was overwhelmed by the disturbance and complained to Bai.Bai thought about it, and directly passed Officer Lu's personal contact information to Section Chief Lin.

Section Chief Lin has been talking about wanting to make an official relationship, and after getting the phone call, it is like a treasure.As a result, the person who was harassed every day lost his figure.I don't know what method Section Chief Lin used to find out the detailed employment information of Lu Guangchen.After the other party refused to answer the call, the real person simply ran to the branch office of the other party and reported in on time every day for tea.

Contrary to Bai, at the end of the year, Zhu Yun was busy with the company's settlement, so the burden of taking the little lizard to do the test naturally fell on Bai's shoulders.

With tears in his eyes, Zhu Qiu pawed at the door: "Woooooo, can you not go!" He racked his brains to find excuses, and finally had an idea, "I, I, I haven't practiced the piano today!"

Xu Tan turned out of the kitchen with an exquisite teacup, and said in amazement, "Why don't you usually love studying so much? You were supposed to be on leave today, so let's make it up after dinner."

Zhu Qiu choked: "I didn't mean that—"

With a blank expression on his face, he pulled the little lizard off the door frame.He thought for a while, and said patiently: "Take the exam well. Zhu Yun relied on a lot of connections to get the chance. If you fail the exam..."

Zhu Qiu trembled, tears streaming down his face: "What will happen if you fail the exam?"

Bai didn't speak, but showed a very gentle smile, his sharp canine teeth gleamed in the sun, everything was self-evident.

Zhu Qiu hiccupped tears in fright.

Dr. Xu on the side didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.He was embracing the listless Chen Mochen, feeding chicken porridge to someone, when he heard this he showed a meaningful smile: "Stupid children who don't study well will be eaten by bad guys."

Zhu Qiu howled, turned his head and ran towards the ventilation duct, but was dragged downstairs by Bai's collar and shoved into the car mercilessly.

Private schools are full boarding and located on the outskirts of the city.The buildings are hidden under evergreen trees, with red bricks and black tiles, winding paths leading to secluded places, very delicate and beautiful.According to Zhu Yun, the school was founded in the early period of the Republic of China. It was originally a German-funded medical school. Later, it was abandoned due to the war. After the reform and opening up, it was sold to Starlight Education Group, and then changed into a private international school.

When Zhu Yun said this, she was lying on the bed and flipping through the spread of promotional coloring pages. The soft pajamas had an exaggerated curve at the waist, which made the buttocks fuller.At that time, Bai's attention was all focused on the imaginative curve, and he didn't hear what he was saying at all.

It wasn't until he entered the campus that Bai realized that the school was indeed very beautiful. Looking far away, he could even see an old clock tower in the center, and white pigeons fluttered down from time to time.

The upright birch forest stands on both sides of the stone steps like soldiers waiting for inspection, and the fallen leaves are covered with a thick carpet, which is soft and warm to the touch.

Zhu Qiu, who had been clamoring to go home, also silenced, opened his mouth slightly, and leaned on the window to look out.

In the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, there were a lot of luxury cars parked in the corner in a low-key manner. After greeting the guard, he led Zhu Qiu up the stairs to the teaching area.

The college's garden is obviously well tended by someone specially assigned to it, and the scenery changes from time to time. Even in the bleak winter day, it is not empty.Zhu Qiu seldom goes out to play, and now she is so curious that she wants to touch everything she sees.

During class time, the grove was empty.The two passed by an exquisite marble fountain, and Zhu Qiu immediately went crazy, throwing his hands away to play in the water, like a happy dog.

He leaned forward and stretched out his hand, carefully touched the mouth of the fish that spewed out spring water, and turned back with a smile: "Brother Bai! It's really spouting water!"

With his hands in his pockets, Bai stood not far away, quietly watching him having fun, his attitude could be called indulgent.He was wearing a short khaki windbreaker today, and his long legs were wrapped in black slacks, which made him look extraordinarily straight. Half of his face was hidden behind a thick gray scarf, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but Zhu Qiu keenly felt that white Doesn't seem very happy.

The desire to survive made his scalp tense, he moved back to Bai's side in small steps, and whispered: "Oh, I, I was wrong."

The white drooping eyes looked at him without saying a word, and there was no expression in the blue eyes.Zhu Qiu tremblingly thought that he had taken the pill this time, but unexpectedly, his wet hand was held.

Bai took out the handkerchief from his pocket, shook it off, and patiently wiped off the cold drops of water between his fingers.After wiping, Bai still had a calm expression on his face, and he took him and turned around: "Let's go when you've had enough fun, the teacher is waiting for you." He paused, and then added: "If you haven't played enough, I'll bring you here after the exam later." .”

The exceptionally gentle tone made Zhu Qiu's hair stand on end, and he couldn't help but peek at him, tremblingly thinking about what he had done wrong.After walking quietly for a while, Bai suddenly stopped.

"You keep looking at me...what's wrong?"

Zhu Qiu shook his head violently.

Looking at the winding stone steps behind the two, Bai frowned slightly: "Tired?" Before Zhu Qiu could deny it, he suddenly said something frightening: "If you can't walk, do you want me to carry it on your back?" you?"

This sentence blurted out, not only Zhu Qiu, but also Bai himself was taken aback for a moment.

Zhu Qiu's hair stood on end, and he shook his head like a rattle, almost wondering if he was hallucinating.

However, Bai ignored him, and his thoughts seemed to drift far away.He took a deep look back at the endless mountain road under his feet, and after a while, he turned around and said, "Let's go."

The school's academic ability test requirements are quite high, and the knowledge of nine courses is crushed and stuffed into one paper.The topic of literature and history can be vaguely written, but when it comes to chemistry English tadpole essay, Zhu Qiu scratches his head, wishing to screw his head off.

But Bai was standing guard at the door of the office, and he couldn't even hand in the paper in advance to end this long torture.

In fact, Bai was also being tortured. As a "parent", he was chatting with the dean at the door.

Director Mo is a black-clothed woman who is nearly forty years old. Her makeup is so heavy that it can't hide the stern nasolabial folds on her lips. At first glance, she looks like a strict teacher who frightens students—the kind of math teacher who can get along with bald heads. Together with the group director, they are honored as the type of "male and female" by the students.

However, Miss "Female" is now smiling so hard that she can't see her teeth, her bright red lips spit out witty words, and she desperately sells the private Starlight Park to Bai.

The principal said earlier that the mixed-race transfer students who came to take the test today are from very wealthy families.The parents even hinted that if they can successfully enter the school, donating a laboratory building or something will be nothing.

Looking at it again, he and Zhu Qiu are similar in appearance, but if they are father and son, it seems that the age is not right, then they are probably brothers.Director Mo looked at this exceptionally handsome "kid from a rich family" lovingly, and smiled like a chrysanthemum: "Yes, our school has also built a new gymnasium, do you want to visit it?"

As she spoke, her eyes moved down and stopped on Bai's chest and abdomen muscles: "The equipment can be experienced on the spot!"

White shook his head.

She didn't give up, and said: "Then, there is also a swimming pool..." If you want to go, you can also give swimming trunks for free.

Just as Bai wanted to continue shaking his head, the bell rang for the end of get out of class.A group of students rushed out of the classroom laughing and joking, and when they saw Director Mo with a dark complexion, they all flinched.But soon, the sharp-eyed girl caught a glimpse of Bai standing behind her, and several little sisters who were close to each other quickly gathered around and bit their ears:

"God, is that white?"

"I can't see clearly, what is he doing here, going to school?"

"You think so beautifully! How could he be a high school student!"

Although the teaching director was watching, the newborn calf was not afraid of the tiger, and a bold girl mingled in the crowd and shouted: "White!"

Bai heard the sound and turned his head, and there were gasps one after another in the corridor.

"It's really him!!"

"Absolutely! I just followed the edited version for two days and three nights last night!"

"Signed signature! Where's my photobook postcard? Oh, don't worry, let's go first!"

Even though everyone here is considered a famous lady, they are only girls in their teens.When they met their idols, their eyes were shining, and they rushed forward waving their small notebooks in a hurry.

Director Mo's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he shouted sharply: "What are you doing?! Do you want to punish me for copying school rules?"

The girls looked at each other in blank dismay, stunned for a few seconds, and then rushed forward, squeezed away the hook-nosed director without hesitation, and rushed to Bai's side.

With his back against the wall, he was surrounded by the army of soft girls.The girls chirped and asked him, why did you come to school?Can you sign it?There are even bold fish in troubled waters, eager to reach for his buttons, trying to pull one off as a souvenir.

Bai struggled to sign seven or eight notebooks, and finally when the office door opened, Zhu Qiu walked out with drooping shoulders.The dean's hair was all loose, and he didn't know where the strength came from. He squeezed away the crazy girl, grabbed Zhu Qiu with one hand, and Bai Bai with the other, and dragged them out of the encirclement.

Running all the way to the side of the quiet playground, Director Mo put on his glasses again and coughed dryly: "It is not convenient to go back to the teaching building for the time being, there is about an hour before the end of the paper marking, do you want to take a look around?" After that, she began to hint frantically again : "The gymnasium is really fun, there are many items to experience..."

Zhu Qiu was stunned: "Is it fun?" His big innocent eyes were filled with anticipation, and Director Mo nodded hurriedly: "Yes, it's super fun!"

Zhu Qiu quickly turned her head: "Brother Bai, I think..."

Seeing that he really wanted to go, Bai reluctantly nodded, wrapped his face a little more tightly with a scarf, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

The three of them entered the gymnasium.It happened to be club training time, and people in twos and threes were scattered in the stadium, participating in different sports.

Zhu Qiu has no playmates of the same age, and everything he sees is very novel, so he casually pointed: "What is that?"

"This is Starlight's school basketball team! It has won many honors! Is Xiaoqiu interested?"

A group of people snatched a ball covered in stinky sweat, and after finally grabbing it, they still had to throw it out.Zhu Qiu looked at it for a long time, but didn't understand the rules, so he curled his lips in disgust.

Soon, the players also noticed the three of them.Zhu Qiu was lying on the side of the stands, with fair skin and big eyes, soft chestnut hair a little too long, wearing bright winter clothes, she looked like a pretty little girl from a distance.

The players below immediately boiled over and competed more fiercely, wishing to shoot a few three-pointers in front of the little beauty.It's a pity that King Xiang was interested in Goddess but not in heart, Zhu Qiu still couldn't understand, only knew that the people below were acting more rudely, and suddenly lost interest.

He straightened up: "Is there anything else?"

"There are some!" Director Mo hurriedly led the way, and led people to another indoor court, "There is a badminton hall! It is also an ace club. Has Xiaoqiu ever played badminton?"

"Feather?" Zhu Qiu became excited, "I have shot birds!" @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Bai silently looked away.Director Mo laughed dryly: "Hehe, you are so humorous."

After several people entered the badminton court, Zhu Qiu realized that the so-called badminton has nothing to do with birds.He sighed sadly, and began to miss Miss Bailu and the three brothers Sparrow in the villa in the mountain.

Badminton is not the only sport in the gymnasium, there is another club next to it, warming up around several tall walls.Zhu Qiu was quickly attracted by the raised wall: "Teacher, what is that?"

Seeing that Zhu Qiu was not interested in the two major clubs on campus, Director Mo was also a little disappointed. He raised his eyes and said casually, "Oh, that's the rock climbing club."

Rock climbing is considered an unpopular sport. It has just been included in the national college entrance examination this year. There are not many students participating in it. Even the venues are under the fence and forced to share with the badminton club.

Zhu Qiu looked at it for a while, and his eyes slowly widened: "Will you win as long as you climb up?"

"Yeah," Director Mo said perfunctorily, took out his phone to check, and made an apologetic gesture, "Wait a minute, the results seem to be out."

She dismissed the two of them and went to the corner of the venue to make a phone call.This phone call lasted for a long time, and when she came back, her face was very bad.

"What's wrong?" Bai had a bad feeling in his heart.

Director Mo smiled awkwardly: "Ah, about Zhu Qiu's cultural class..." The only subject with a correct rate of more than 80.00 was Geography, and [-]% of them were multiple-choice questions. .Even if the headmaster said hello in advance to open the back door, this result is too exaggerated!What's more, only the first volume of junior high school was used for the test!

"May I ask, Zhu Qiu...has he really graduated from primary school?"

Bai: "..." The truth must not be told, so Bai evasively said: "He was educated at home before, maybe, um, it's more academic."

Director Mo choked speechlessly: You have to get good grades in one of the partial subjects!What kind of partial subject is failing at all? !

At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from the corner.Director Mo heard the sound and looked, and saw that the head coach of the rock climbing club, who had always been low-key and indifferent, was holding a stopwatch high, his face flushed, as if he had been beaten.

Not only them, but even the members of the badminton club who were training on the side were attracted.

"what happened?"

"What happened?" @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

"Won't someone break their leg again..."

"Should I call for an emergency?"

The only person in the stadium who needs first aid is probably the coach himself.His lips were pale, and he trembled for a long time before he calmed down, muttering: "Damn ten seconds, ten seconds!"

Director Mo frowned and walked over: "Coach Cui, what happened?"

Coach Cui was stunned, and murmured: "Genius, what a genius!" He came back to his senses, his eyes lit up: "The world record for women's rock climbing is just over eight seconds, and this kid climbed easily for ten seconds!" !" Without warming up or powdering, if it wasn't for his insistence, the kid didn't even want to tie the rope, so he just climbed casually, and broke the club's highest record.

Everyone looked up in horror, only to see the forgotten Zhu Qiu holding on to the top of the wall with one hand, looking down, and said boredly: "Hey, can you come down?"

"All right, all right, let's jump off." The coach held on to the safety rope tightly with trembling hands, as if he was holding his ancestors.

Zhu Qiu didn't just let go and jump off like other contestants. Instead, he "climbed" down again with his head down and his feet up.

He climbed so fast and furiously that the first belay had no time to let go of the rope, and was almost dragged up by the belay rope connecting the two at his waist.

Everyone: =o=

When he stood on the ground again and patted his trouser legs with his head down, the coach was so excited that he almost fainted: "Have you ever competed before?"

Zhu Qiu didn't blush or pant, and said lightly, "Oh, no. But it looks fun."

Comparing people to people, it makes people mad!Everyone in the rock climbing club who has been training for many years is almost crying.

With tears in his eyes, the coach slapped him on the back: "Practice hard! This year's youth competition women's champion is definitely yours. Oh no, maybe the speed records of all age groups belong to you!"

Hearing this, the seniors of the rock climbing club didn't care about their grief, and gathered around like hungry wolves: "Hey, have you joined the club yet? Come to our rock climbing club! You are our new goddess! Goddess!!"

Junior contest?goddess?A group of people were crying and laughing around him, Zhu Qiu was a little confused, and turned to Bai for help.

"Ah," Bai finally spoke and clarified, "He's a man."

"Boys are fine, and boys are fine too! No, no, boys are better!" Director Mo's eyes lit up, and he laughed coquettishly, "Hey, this kid has special skills, let me tell you earlier, what kind of culture class do you still have to take? Hahaha! Next semester, oh no, come and practice during the winter vacation! Donate the building? No, no, no, we will give you the full reward!"

The author has something to say:

Xu Xiaonuo's sickness and tenderness: My brother doesn't need anyone else, I want to lock him up so that he can only see me, hug me, and kiss me... Ugh!

Xu Tan whispered: Is that so?Um, do you like it?

Xu Xiaonuo blushed.
