Tao Jia's vacation is only four days.On the afternoon of the fourth day, he flew back to Nancheng.The airport where Zheng Qin sent him to had been watching him board the plane.

After a brief reunion, there was a long separation between the two places.

Zheng Qin's college life is on the right track, while Tao Jia is still struggling for his college entrance examination.Although Zheng Qin's tutoring plan was hindered to a certain extent after he went to city A, but fortunately, there is not much new knowledge to learn in the third year of high school, and the main thing is to consolidate and review, so even without Zheng Qin's hand-in-hand teaching, he was severely caught Tao Jia, who has passed the basics, managed to stabilize her grades in the top 100 of the grade.But he also knows that if he wants to get into University A, he is still not [-]% sure with his current grades.

Once Tao Jia had a goal in mind, Tao Jia became extremely self-aware, and she didn't need others to chase after her, and she would voluntarily indulge in the ocean of knowledge.

Especially after the National Day, after seeing Zheng Qin's popularity in school, Tao Jia became even more determined to study hard.He is really worried if he doesn't tie people to him!

In mid-December, the tenth school entrance examination for the third grade of senior high school.Tao Jia squeezed into the top [-] of the grade for the first time, broke the glasses of all his classmates and teachers, and even himself was a little confused.

Ming Nan happily shook his arm: "Jiajia, you are so amazing! You made it into the top [-] in one fell swoop! There is great hope for you to get an A!"

Tao Jia was still a little dumbfounded, and subconsciously hummed.

This was the first time he was admitted to the top [-] of the grade by his own ability without the help of Zheng Qin.Tao Jia was a little complacent looking at her grades, and thought to herself, could she still be a hidden top student?

Ming Nan was also happy for him, and kept praising him on the way back to the classroom.To praise Tao Jia is a little flattering.

As soon as the two of them reached the door of the classroom, the head teacher hurried over, looked at Ming Nan with a solemn expression, "Ming Nan, come here."

Ming Nan responded and followed the class teacher into the office.

Tao Jia recalled the head teacher's expression just now, and felt a little uneasy for some reason.

About 5 minutes later, Ming Nan came back. He hung his head and said nothing. He sat back in his seat and began to pack his schoolbag.

Tao Jia felt something was wrong and ran over to him and asked, "Nan'er, what happened?"

Ming Nan raised his head, his eyes were reddish.He clenched his teeth and said with a sob: "Jiajia... I... my father... is gone."

……

"Ming Nan... are you okay?" At night, Zheng Qin learned about this from Tao Jia, and his expression was a little heavy.

Tao Jia was lying on the table, and put the phone aside with the speaker turned on, and said in a low voice, "I went to see him at night, and my eyes were swollen from crying. I must be very sad now."

Zheng Qin didn't speak.

Tao Jia wiped his face and said, "Zheng Qin, I want to be with Nan'er these few days, so I may not be able to take care of you for the time being."

Zheng Qin hummed understandingly, and said, "It will be better if you are with me."

The next two days happened to be the weekend, so Tao Jia woke up early, packed a few clothes and went to Ming Nan's house.

Wang Meili and Tao Jianguo heard about Ming Nan's family, and let their son go without saying a word.

"Comfort Nan'er, and your Aunt Ming." Wang Meili stood at the door and told her.

"I know." Tao Jia carried her schoolbag and entered the elevator without looking back.

When they arrived at Ming Nan's house, Tao Jia stood at the door and took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell.It was Ming Nan who opened the door. His mental state was better than last night, and his eyes were not so red. When he saw Tao Jia, he reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Jia Jia, why are you here?"

Looking at the shallow dimple, Tao Jia felt distressed, stretched out his hand to poke it, and said, "I'm worried about you, so I want to stay with you for two days."

Ming Nan smiled, brought him into the room, and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't come, I'm not as fragile as you think."

Tao Jia changed his shoes and entered the room, the room was quiet.He asked, "Are you alone at home?"

"Well," Ming Nan said, "Mom is going to accompany grandparents."

"Why don't you go?" Tao Jia asked.

Ming Nan said: "I stayed with you all night yesterday, and I just came back. My aunt and uncle have already rushed back this morning, and I can't help, so my mother asked me to come back first."

Tao Jia couldn't hide the worry on her face: "Nan'er, are you okay?"

Ming Nan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Actually, ever since I was ten years old, when my parents told me that they were anti-drug policemen, I was mentally prepared for them to sacrifice at any time."

Tao Jia felt sore and aching in her heart.He gently stroked the back of Ming Nan's head, thinking of comforting words when he came, but he couldn't say the first sentence when he came.

Tao Jia stayed with Ming Nan at Ming's house all day long.On the way, Ming Nan's mother came back. Although she was a little haggard, she was unexpectedly strong and perfectly concealed her grief.Come to think of it, as a policeman, like Ming Nan, she was mentally prepared early in the morning.

Ming Nan's mother came back to see her son specially, and she felt a little relieved after knowing that Tao Jia was here to accompany him.She patted Tao Jia on the shoulder and said, "Jiajia, Auntie still has things to deal with, Nan'er will be counting on you these days."

Tao Jia nodded: "Auntie, go get busy, Nan'er is here with me."

Ming's mother smiled, although she tried her best to pretend to be strong, but the grief in her eyes could not deceive anyone.

Tao Jia thought a little out of place, fortunately, Ming's mother was transferred from the post early, otherwise, if in case...he meant in case, she would be like Ming's father...what should Nan'er do?

When he thought of Nan'er becoming an orphan, his heart ached so much that he couldn't help hugging Ming Nan tightly.

"What's wrong?" Ming Nan was a little surprised by his sudden action.

Tao Jia gently stroked his back, and comforted him softly: "Nan'er, don't be afraid, you still have a brother, Zheng Qin and Ji Xu. We will always be with you."

Ming Nan let him hold her in a daze, her eyes were red again.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Ming Nan's mother did not come back, so Tao Jia locked the door and prepared to go to bed.

Tao Jia went to take a shower first.Ming Nan stayed in the bedroom to make the bed, when the doorbell rang hastily.He goes out and opens the door.The door opened, but Ji Xu was standing outside the door panting, with disheveled hair.

"Ji Xu?" Ming Nan's heart stopped, "Why are you back?"

Ji Xu suddenly hugged him in his arms.

"Nan'er." Her voice was hoarse, with obvious distress.

Ming Nan's tears flowed out without warning, he stretched out his arms to hug Ji Xu, and cried loudly for the first time: "Ji Xu, I don't have a father anymore."

Ji Xu hugged him tightly, kissed the top of his hair, and comforted him: "You still have me."

In return, Ming Nan suppressed sobs.

Tao Jia came out of the shower and found Ming Nan was nowhere to be found.The door that was originally locked was wide open at this moment. He was a little worried, and he put on his coat and was about to go out.

As a result, as soon as he stepped out of the gate, he ran into Ming Nan who had just stepped out of the elevator.

"Where have you been? Why didn't you say anything when you went out?" Tao Jia nervously went up to him.

Ming Nan grabbed the hem of his clothes and said falteringly, "I, I'm going to buy you a toothbrush."

Seeing that his hands were empty, Tao Jia asked, "What about the toothbrush?"

Ming Nan glanced around: "When I got to the store, I realized that there were new ones at home, so I didn't buy them."

Tao Jia had no doubts, and took him back to the house: "You go take a bath, and go to bed after washing."

Ming Nan hummed, and was about to get her pajamas when she was pulled back by Tao Jia.Tao Jia tilted his head and stared into his eyes for a while, frowning: "Have you cried again?"

Ming Nan shook his head frantically, and denied, "No, I washed my face just now, probably water got into my eyes."

This is clearly the appearance of crying.But he refused to admit it, and Tao Jia had no choice but to let him take a bath.While Ming Nan was taking a shower, Tao Jia had a brief phone conversation with Zheng Qin.

Tao Jia briefly explained Nan's situation to Zheng Qin. After Zheng Qin had a general understanding, he changed the subject and asked, "Has Ji Xu been here?"

"Ji Xu is back?" Tao Jia was surprised.

Zheng Qin said: "I told him about Ming Nan, and he booked a plane ticket back to Nancheng at night, and it should be here by now."

"He hasn't been here before. He came here just for Nan'er?" Tao Jia asked.

"Ah."

Tao Jia was silent for a while, thinking of the conversation with Ji Xu at the airport before, and thinking of Ming Nan who had suddenly disappeared for a while just now, and his eyes swollen from crying, a thought flashed in his mind.

"Zheng Qin, the person Ji Xu likes is Nan'er, right?"

"Ah."

Tao Jia gasped, and hurriedly asked: "What about Nan'er? Does Nan'er know about this? Or are they already together?"

Zheng Qin replied unhurriedly on the other end of the phone: "Didn't you say that Nan is still young, so you can't let him get in touch with these things too early?"

Tao Jia asked: "So, you mean Nan'er doesn't know yet?"

"Yes." Zheng Qin said narrowly, "Ji Xu is afraid that you will hunt him down with a knife."

Tao Jia smiled lightly: "He's a smart guy."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Zheng Qin spoke up again, with a sour tone: "You really care about Ming Nan."

"That's no nonsense," Tao Jia said, "Nan'er is my best brother."

"what about me?"

Tao Jia was stunned, and asked with a smile, "You are not jealous, are you?"

Zheng Qin admitted frankly: "Well, I'm jealous."

Tao Jia couldn't laugh or cry: "Fool, what are you doing with Nan'er's jealousy. I treat Nan'er like a younger brother, a pure brotherhood."

"what about me?"

Tao Jia sat cross-legged on the bed, picked the quilt and whispered: "You are my boyfriend, socialist brotherhood."

Zheng Qin doesn't understand what socialist brotherhood is, but he can roughly guess what it means by contacting the boyfriend in the first half of the sentence, laughing silently, and continued to tease: "Pure?"

Tao Jia's thoughts were immediately drawn back to that rainy night, her face burned with a bang, and her voice became softer than before: "Pure or not is up to you to judge."

Since getting together with Zheng Qin, Tao Jia's thick skin has been worn down more and more thinly by Zheng Qin. He used to be able to endure a few bouts of shyness and forced teasing, but now it is often just a word from Zheng Qin that can make him ashamed. He searched for cracks all over the floor.

Before Ming Nan came out from the shower, Tao Jia finished talking on the phone with Zheng Qin, and got under the covers to play a game console.

Ming Nan also climbed onto the bed from the other side, saw the game console in Tao Jia's hand and asked casually, "New?"

"No," Tao Jia said, "Zheng Qin's, didn't Ji Xu give him a new one last year, he doesn't want to play with the old one, so I'll play with it."

Ming Nan leaned on the bedside to watch him play games, and sighed: "You two have such a good relationship."

Tao Jia paused slightly for operating the buttons, he dared not look at him with a guilty conscience, and hummed indiscriminately.Ming Nan didn't pay attention to it. After watching him play for a while, she felt bored, so she took the test paper by the bedside and started to do the questions.

Tao Jia played the game absent-mindedly, turned off the phone hastily before the end of the game, and said to Ming Nan: "Go to bed first, and do the homework tomorrow. If you don't sleep, the dark circles under your eyes will mop the floor."

Ming Nan let him take away the paper and pen, got into the quilt, and lay on his side facing Tao Jia.

Tao Jia turned off the light and lay down.

Neither of them felt sleepy.After a while, Ming Nan grabbed the quilt and said, "Jiajia, I didn't actually go to buy a toothbrush just now."

Tao Jia had a general understanding in her heart: "Is it Ji Xu who came to look for you?"

"you know?"

"Well, Zheng Qin told me."

"Zheng Qin? When did he tell you?"

Tao Jia pondered for a moment, and finally decided to confess: "Nan'er, there is something I haven't told you."

"what's up?"

"Actually, I'm actually dating Zheng Qin."
