big brother next door

"The pronunciation is 'yuan'" Ling Qiuyu paused when he saw the new English teacher holding the roster, and reminded him in a low voice.

However, although Ling Qiuyu is a girl, she is 1.6 meters tall and is ranked in the middle in a classroom where people from the north and the south are mixed. She needs to make a sound to remind the teacher on the stage. No matter how low the voice is, it is enough for other students to hear. arrive.

"Hahahaha—" Sure enough, the students in the first few rows laughed teasingly. Although there was no malice, the young English teacher's face turned a little red.

Alas, this situation has happened once or twice before. Fortunately, most people can still pronounce it directly if combined with the pronunciation rules.Is it because the first two characters of her name are so common that parents added complicated strokes to her name as if to compensate her?She thinks Ling Qiu is fine, and she often only writes the first two characters when writing her name in textbooks.

ah!It shouldn't be arranged like this for parents in heaven!Ling Qiu knocked himself regretfully, then put his palms together and silently said in his heart, thank you mom and dad for giving me life, thank you for caring for me and giving me warmth in the first 16 years of my life.Although you left me a year ago, I still thank you for remembering to leave me a way out, so that I still have assets and a home to return to.

Then I moved to the community where the villa you bought for me, my parents, was where I met...

Ling Qiu put down her hands, thinking of that person, it was a bit bitter but also a bit sweet, she pinched the corner of her uniform skirt nervously, subconsciously making the corner of the skirt a little wrinkled.Hey, mom, I seem to have someone I like.

A year ago, Ling Qiuyu's parents died in a car accident. At the age of 16, she hadn't even calmed down from the grief and shock, but she was even more exhausted by the behavior of relatives rushing to fight for the inheritance.Regardless of being sad, with the help of the lawyer my parents had befriended, I tried my best to deal with the property issues, but part of the working capital and shares were still taken away.The house that she and her parents had just bought in the city was also taken back by the bank.Fortunately, he basically paid the full price and had a villa near the outskirts of the city, not too far from the private high school he attended.Ling Qiu drew 20 from the money left to her by her parents, and after paying the balance, she moved from the city to the current community.

There are only 6 families in the Kukulu community (Ling Qiu always thought the name of the community was weird...), and because it is a villa, 3 of them have basically never lived in the house they bought here.Among the three families with residents, one of them is a rich second generation, according to the uncle security guard who is quite idle in the community.But because he is an illegitimate child, he lives here. The resident is also different from the rich second generation that Ling Qiu imagined. It is said that it is a dead house. Anyway, the family gave him money to support him, so he simply stayed in the villa all year round. .During the year when Ling Qiu moved here, he only occasionally saw him go out to take out the trash a few times, and Taobao, Tmall, Jingdong, and Amazon came to look for him more often... He was a gloomy and thin otaku, and his home was far away. Qiu and he basically didn't talk much.

Then there was the house next door to Ling Qiu who could be regarded as neighbors.The family next door is named Zuo, and there are many people in the family. The whole family lives together, so the villa is also the largest and most magnificent in the community, standing on a majestic backing.The Zuo family seemed to have a housekeeper and several servants, Ling Qiu saw that they seemed to have built a servant's dormitory next to the main house.Speaking of which, the property doesn't even care about it... Obviously Ling Qiu wanted to put a white fence around his house and was approved for nearly a month... Couldn't it be bullying him to be alone...?

Because of the nature of the community, Ling Qiu didn't expect friendly neighbors when he first moved in.But the time to move came in the last few days, after the people from the moving company left.Ling Qiu was informed by his current guardian that he still had some personal belongings, so he could only drag the few boxes that arrived later by himself.While slowly moving into the house, I happened to meet the grandfather of the Zuo family walking the dog. After the grandfather tied the dog outside, he enthusiastically helped her move the box into the living room.In fact, at first Ling Qiu put down the box with difficulty and said hello to the old man, he wanted to say that he moved here and the old man helped carry the other side.In the end, when he came back to his senses, the old man had already moved all four or five boxes in, and he moved them in one by one... Walking like flying without panting, Ling Qiu almost thought that the weight of those boxes just now was his own. Misunderstanding, no, is the grandfather some kind of master of ancient martial arts?

Although he was very curious at the time, but because his parents had just passed away, Ling Qiu didn't have the energy to ask. In the end, he only knew that his grandfather's family name was Zuo, and his name was Zuo Jie. Ling Qiuyu also told his grandfather his own name.I opened the box and picked out a few cans of high-quality tea, and gave it to my grandfather as a thank you gift, and then said goodbye to my grandfather.

There was also the dog that the old man was walking... When Ling Qiu sent the old man out of the house, the dog gave Ling Qiu a calm look, and Ling Qiu was so scared.I don't know what breed this dog is, but it's super big and very domineering.No, this is not an ordinary dog ​​anymore, this must be Wang Xing's emperor who came to the earth to observe human beings!

Grandpa called it Sanmao... Although the name is approachable, Sanmao seems to be a super dick.Occasionally, when I passed by the grandfather's house by bicycle, I saw Sanmao on the lawn with an expression of "I don't care for you", not even giving face to his housekeeper... Ling Qiu decided that if one day Sanmao let go of the rope and ran outside, After I meet her, I'll just do the big gift of throwing my body to the ground, maybe Master Sanmao is in a good mood to let her go...

Ling Qiu, who was distracted during class, took the time to glance at the blackboard. In fact, she has a very good mind, and she knows it herself.In class, you can think about things, listen to lectures and write homework at the same time.When her parents were still there, she often praised her for peace of mind, and said that if she continued to keep it going, she would be sent directly to the expensive Harvard Medical School after graduating from high school. main reason.But it's really impossible now, right?Ling Qiu turned her pen a little lonely, she is now in her third year of high school, although it is still the first half of the semester, but Ling Qiu has already decided that it is better to go to a domestic medical school.And, if you leave the country, you won't be able to see that person...

Ling Qiu clenched the ballpoint pen tightly, that person was the eldest brother of the neighbor Zuo's family.After Ling Qiu fell in love with him, it took a few more weeks before he found out from Zuo's younger brother that his name was Zuo Luyi.Ling Qiu casually chatted with that child about a lot of nonsense, and then pretended not to care and asked him and his brother's names.I heard from Zuo Luqi that there are five boys in his family, and he himself is the third, and that person is his elder brother.

Sure enough, he is as reliable as he looks, a gentle big brother next door!At that time Ling Qiu tried very hard not to let the excited tremolo sound on his voice.But Zuo Luqi seemed to have a bad tone when he mentioned his elder brother, Ling Qiu couldn't help but get a little angry, a seven-year-old boy doesn't understand how precious his elder brother's love is!Ling Qiu didn't give Zuo Luqi all the sandwich chocolates he just bought on the grounds that children shouldn't eat too much sweets or their teeth would be broken.What a brat!Zuo Luyi... Well, the eldest brother must have had a hard time taking care of his younger brothers.Ling Qiu silently read his big brother's name in his heart, blushing quietly.

When I can't teach in the classroom, I suddenly blush!Ling Qiu hurriedly tightened his face, lowered his head and stared at the past perfect tense in the textbook.But the face of the neighbor's big brother kept popping up in his mind.

When did you fall in love with big brother?

The first time I met my big brother was when I was jogging in the morning.Because the domestic college entrance examination requires physical education, but most of the students in the school have to go abroad, so physical education is always taken up.Ling Qiu could only do exercises like sit-ups after school every day, and then get up in the morning to run 800 meters on Saturdays and Sundays.Then there is still a week or two before the winter vacation, and the university should have been on vacation.One Saturday, when Ling Qiu went out for a morning jog, what he met was not the sleazy grandfather Zuo Jie, but a young man with short black hair.

It was a bit foggy that morning, the young man stood there, but the surrounding fog seemed to be isolated from him, which also made him stand out in the morning fog.Hearing Ling Qiu's footsteps, he turned his head, his short black hair was neatly combed, and his black eyes were also calm and unwavering.He was wearing a tracksuit, with a tall and straight body standing upright, with one hand in the pocket of his jacket, and the other hand holding a three-haired leash.Ling Qiu greeted him, and he nodded lightly, looking like a neat and tidy man.It didn't look much older than Ling Qiu, so as soon as they met Ling Qiu, they couldn't help but have a good impression of him.

"Oh, it's finally settled." At this moment, Grandpa Zuo Jie came over with his hands behind his back, took Sanmao's rein and said to the young man, "Thank you, I'll continue to play Sanmao."

"Well, I'll go back to Grandpa first." His voice was as cold as he gave off.But Ling Qiu thought it sounded like holding jade against his face in summer, it was cool and comfortable.Hearing his voice, the heart that seemed to be running a little impatiently felt the coolness and calmed down.

"Hey, little Qiuyu!" Grandpa Zuo Jie still looked healthy, and greeted Ling Qiu full of vitality. He looked at the young man who turned to leave, and casually explained to Ling Qiu, "Just now That is my grandson, he is back home after the university holiday, he is a very energetic kid!"

"Huh, a college student?" Ling Qiu also answered subconsciously, that's how the neighbor's big brother feels! "How old is big brother?"

"Oh, Qiuyu is going to take the college entrance examination too, how are you preparing?" Grandpa Zuo Jie turned around and asked.

"There is no problem with homework, but physical education needs to be exercised. Our school always takes up physical education and feels a little lack of exercise." Ling Qiu complained a few words, she liked the very energetic grandfather of the Zuo family. Yes, it may be a bit of empathy, but the old man is also a very good person!

"Haha, you have to work hard, I am an old man who insists on exercising every day and dare not slack off!" Grandpa Zuo Jie nodded approvingly, as if he attached great importance to the importance of exercise.

Ling Qiu recalled the vigorous figure of Grandpa Zuo Jie when he helped her carry the box.

"You're right...but aren't you some kind of heaven//martial arts master or something?"

"Little Qiuci really likes to joke, haha ​​I'm just an ordinary old man with a very strong body."

Whatever you say... Ling Qiu said that she planned to continue running for two laps, so Grandpa Zuo Jie enthusiastically pointed out a few movements for her to fully move her joints.

Hey, did Grandpa Zuo Jie completely avoid my question?After finishing her morning jog, Ling Qiu realized this belatedly when she returned home to take a shower.

Later, Ling Qiu met the elder brother of the neighbor's family several times during the winter vacation. He seemed to be very busy, basically going out every day, and only coming back in the afternoon or evening.How many times did Ling Qiu see that he looked very tired, and his clothes were a bit dirty, even Ling Qiu seemed to have scratched his neck once?But no matter what state he was in, he never showed a slack expression.There will be no more tired and angry expressions.When they met Ling Qiu, they also greeted him politely but alienated. There had never been a situation where Ling Qiu greeted him but ignored him and walked away. He is a very polite person.

This person seems to be unwavering from the beginning to the end. It gives people the feeling that once the goal is determined, he will be consistent and will not relax.Compared with the frivolous boys in the class, or in the school, the attitude of the neighbor's big brother is so good that he can't beat them!

But he is so serious, so reliable, and also very handsome, so he should be very popular, right?Could it be that I go out every day to date my girlfriend...! !Ling Qiu's heart seemed to miss a beat suddenly, she took a deep breath with some discomfort, and then exhaled slowly.It's none of my business even if he's dating a girlfriend, right?I, it's not that I like...him like...

He just had a good impression of the big brother of the neighbor's family, that's all Ling Qiu convinced himself at that time.

Later, when school was about to start, Ling Qiu looked out from a room on the second floor of his house when he was cleaning the entire villa every week (...), and saw the big brother of the neighbor's family standing in the courtyard of their house.Ling Qiu couldn't help but put down the broom, and concealedly took a rag and told himself that he was going to clean the window sill.Ling Qiu leaned on the window sill and looked out, the elder brother of the neighbor's family stood blankly under the tree in the courtyard, not knowing what he was thinking.Because it was winter, the grass in Zuo's yard was short and blue and yellow, and the hydrangeas planted around the house had not left a few leaves.He was standing under a big tree with sparse branches and leaves, and the breeze blowing from time to time was very cold. The elder brother wore a short jacket on his upper body and jeans on his lower body.Is he a little cold?Ling Qiu couldn't help being a little worried, if he caught a cold from the cold wind, he would be very uncomfortable!Ling Qiu frowned.

Ling Qiu stared at him intently, the eldest brother lowered his head and looked at the ground around the tree roots as if he was thinking, the back of his fair neck was exposed because of the movement of lowering his head, the lines were very beautiful, and the ends of his hair were blown by the breeze from time to time. Sweeping back and forth, Ling Qiu saw it, and his mood began to fluctuate slightly with the slight movements.Generally speaking, Ling Qiu shouldn't be able to see that much from such a distance, but she clearly recorded every scene she saw at that time.

She kept looking at him stupidly, but the person standing under the tree suddenly turned his head and met her gaze.So sharp? !Ling Qiu suddenly felt a little guilty of being caught, and hurriedly waved to the neighbor's big brother.The eldest brother looked at her for a few seconds, finally nodded to her, then turned back again, and continued to stare at the ground in a daze.

Ling Qiu watched him lower his head, the broken hair of bangs was blown by the breeze and scattered on one side of his cheek.He blinked lightly, raised one hand and pinned the broken hair behind his ears, the winter sun lazily shone on his exposed side face, and that small piece of skin was glowing with a very faint luster.

Ling Qiuyu let go of the hand that was holding the window sill, quickly turned his body 180 degrees and leaned against the wall, his two hands tightly grasped the front of his chest, and pressed them against his chest.

It turned out that it really only took a moment to fall in love with someone. She heard the sound of her own heart beating, and she also understood why others said that falling in love with someone was beating like a deer.The frequency of her heart beat was extremely flustered, like a wounded and fleeing deer, flustered and stumbling.She waited for a long time until her heartbeat slowly calmed down. When Ling Qiu carefully looked out again, the neighbor's elder brother was no longer there.

Ling Qiu glanced anxiously across the main house and courtyard of the Zuo family, but he still didn't see the figure of his eldest brother, he must have returned to the house.

I really want, I really want, I really want to see him.
