The wind blows north, you chase south

Chapter 8 It's Really Difficult to Coax Him to Sleep

On the way back to the hotel, Sunan didn't say a word the whole time, but Zhou Chengguang, who had nothing to say, chatted with me.

"Sister, City C is pretty good. If you're free this afternoon, I'll take you around."

Sunan, who was sitting on my left, said coldly, "She's not free."

Zhou Chengguang glanced at Sunan: "You're not a senior, how do you know she's not free?"

Sunan turned to look at me, staring at me indifferently, obviously with a calm look, but I just saw the threat from his eyes.

Sunan asked me: "Are you free this afternoon?"

I knew in my heart that if I answered that I was free, Sunan would let me understand the consequences of saying the wrong thing, so I replied politely: "I'm not free this afternoon, I'm sorry, Zhou Chengguang."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Zhou Chengguang's eyes, but soon he regained his composure: "It's fine, as long as you have time at night."

Sunan didn't even bother to open his mouth this time, he glanced at me lightly from the corner of his eye, and I was shocked, remembering what Sunan said to me last night.

After their exams, they will have dinner at the hotel where they stayed, and every contestant can bring their family members. I am honored that I became a family member of Sunan, and I can eat and drink for free.

So, this time without Sunan's reminder, I immediately refused: "I'm not free at night, I'm sorry Zhou Chengguang, or after I go back, I'll treat you to dinner as an apology..."

Before I finished speaking, I saw Zhou Chengguang smiled: "It's okay, senior, you don't have to worry about it."

Teacher Xu and Ye Yan, who had been serving as background boards, finally found their lines.

Teacher Xu suddenly realized: "You...you are also a student of our No. [-] Middle School?"

"Yes, teacher. My name is Zhou Chengguang, and I'm in Class [-], Senior High."

"It's a freshman in high school, no wonder I'm not familiar with it. Do you want to study theory or literature in the future? If you study theory, then you can ask Sunan, a senior."

I cover my face.

I understand Teacher Xu's good intentions, but Teacher Xu did something bad with good intentions, knowing that they were not in the right order, and forced to join in. Whether it was Sunan or Zhou Chengguang, they felt uncomfortable.

I was hesitating about how to answer the conversation, when Ye Yan at the side said, "Actually, Hu Le is also pretty good. Last time I saw Hu Le teaching juniors in the library, they get along very well."

"Yes, yes, yes." Teacher Xu nodded, "Hu Le has made great progress recently. In fact, Hu Le, you are quite smart, but you lack some certainty. I heard from Teacher Chen that you did well in the math test this time."

I scratched my head embarrassingly: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, it was actually a fluke."

"Then, can I ask senior sister to be my tutor?" Zhou Chengguang went down the steps to answer the question. As soon as the words came out, everyone's expressions changed suddenly, and their thoughts were different.

I looked at Zhou Chengguang in surprise, but he looked at me without blinking, without avoiding his eyes.

I coughed lightly, and subconsciously looked at Sunan, only to see his face livid and silent.

I looked at Ye Yan again, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Teacher Xu, who couldn't understand, simply remained silent.

I'm not judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but Ye Yan pointed the finger at me with a few words of understatement...

Embarrassed, Sunan suddenly spoke.

"Let's talk about the future." Sunan said.

I looked at Sunan gratefully, but he didn't even look at me, his face was stern, I knew he was angry again.

Zhou Chengguang didn't chase after me and hit me hard, but smiled lightly: "That's right, we'll talk about it when we go back, but senior sister, you have to think about my proposal carefully, I'm serious."

I looked at him and laughed dryly.

The hotel arrived quickly.

Because Sunan and Ye Yan still had an exam in the afternoon, after lunch, they went back to their rooms to rest, while Teacher Xu called to report their progress to the school leader, and Zhou Chengguang and I were left alone in the hotel lobby staring at the sofa.

I got up early in the morning, and after lunch, my blood flowed to my stomach, and I felt a little weak. I flipped through a magazine for a while, and my eyelids began to fight.

Half awake and half asleep, Zhou Chengguang's voice came: "Sister, if you are tired, take a rest."

I forcefully opened my eyes, yawned, and asked him, "Why did you really come here? Did you come here alone? You are not in good health, why are you running around..." I said, Unable to hold back, he yawned again.

Zhou Chengguang's eyes were watery, and when he looked at me, there was a smile in the corner of his eyes. He didn't care about my criticism, or rather, he enjoyed it instead.

After I finished speaking, he said, "You can come, and of course I can come too."

I sighed, "I'm here for a reason."

"Me too." He looked into my eyes and said word by word.

"Ah?" I was puzzled, and the sleepy bug disappeared, "You too... and what?"

Zhou Chengguang supported the sofa with one hand, put the other on his lap, and leaned slightly closer to me.

As soon as he approached, I subconsciously backed away.

I took a step back and said, "You can just talk, my ears are pretty good, you don't have to get so close to me."

Zhou Chengguang was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, patted my head, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, you are so funny."

I instantly turned black.

The Chinese language is extensive and profound, fun and interesting can sometimes be replaced, but sometimes they can’t. The difference between one word and the meaning is very different. He said that I am funny, as if he was teasing his pet.

This made me very uncomfortable.

But even so, I didn't take it to heart, only because he had been abroad for too long and was not familiar with the use of vocabulary.

Fortunately, Teacher Xu came back soon, so I found an excuse to avoid Zhou Chengguang for the time being.

Teacher Xu gave me a task to wake up Sunan in the afternoon.

I immediately felt bitter and bitter.

It's not that Sunan is angry for getting up, or anything else, but that Sunan is very angry. He was angry because of Zhou Chengguang's arrival just now, and I leaned over at this time, didn't I bump into the muzzle of the gun?
But the teacher's order cannot be violated, so I can only bite the bullet.

The afternoon exam starts at 03:30, and the hotel is not far from the exam center. I just need to wake him up before three o'clock.

I leaned against the door of the room, counting the time boredly, lamenting that seconds seem like years.

While sighing, the door opened with a creak, and I fell back on the ground unexpectedly. When I recovered, I saw Sunan standing in front of me, looking at me with her head slightly lowered.

Sunan was only surprised for a few seconds, then asked me with a straight face: "What are you doing?"

I got up and hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu is afraid that you may oversleep, so let me wake you up according to the time."

Sunan looked devastated. I thought he didn't do well in the morning exam, so I hesitated for a while, and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "A wise man who worries a lot will lose something; a fool who thinks a lot will gain something. You Don't worry too much, or it will affect the afternoon exam."

Sunan glanced at my hand sideways, I quickly moved it away, and turned to push his back: "It's still early, you can sleep peacefully, I will call you later."

He suddenly turned around and staggered away from me. I staggered, stepped on my left foot and stepped on my right foot, and my center of gravity was unstable and I fell towards the big bed.

I grabbed Sunan's arm subconsciously, but because of inertia, the two of us fell on the bed together.

Sunan was pressed down by me, only to hear him grunt, his complexion changed suddenly, his sword eyebrows were twisted into pimples, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

I came to my senses and was about to get up when Sunan wrapped his arms around me and held me tightly.

He used seven points of strength, which made me gasp and grin my teeth in pain: "Hey, hey, what are you doing, Sunan?"

Hearing my cry of pain, Sunan really reduced his strength.

I was like a prey under the jaws of a tiger, and I was finally able to breathe. I put my hands on his chest, and I was extremely wronged: "I didn't mean it either."

Sunan didn't speak, and stared at me with black agate eyes, turning a deaf ear to what I said, and after a while, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Why did you let Zhou Chengguang come here?"

I froze for a moment, and asked him cautiously: "Are you still struggling with this matter? Actually..."

"Actually what?" He pressed on step by step.

At close range, Sunan's pupils are deep and dark. I was bewitched by his eyes, and I honestly said, "I didn't send Zhou Chengguang here."

Hearing this, Sunan seemed relieved, and the next moment, he was stern again: "Then how does he know you are here?"

I sighed: "It's my mother's fault. I told him my whereabouts. I guess my mother didn't expect him to come here to look for me."

Hearing this, Sunan's expression was a little strange. After a long time, he sighed: "Forget it."

I struggled, and asked him with a bitter face: "Then can we change the way we talk?" My waist was almost broken by him.

Only then did Sunan notice our posture, he let go of me, I got up quickly, and rolled aside.

Sunan on the side flipped over, stood up neatly, brushed his hair casually, turned his head and asked me with some awkwardness: "Are you going to have dinner that night?"

I patted him, and there was a bang, which was a little hard.

Seeing him narrowing his eyes dangerously, I smiled and withdrew my hands, and nodded frequently: "Go, go, why not go! There are delicious food, how can I, Hu Le, not be there?"

Sunan supported the bed with both hands, raised the corners of his mouth, and cursed with a smile: "Food."

Foodie is foodie, foodie has no worries.

I looked at him quietly for a while, then yawned: "Do you want to sleep? After resting, I will have the energy to fight in the afternoon."

He looked at me, and I quickly suppressed my half-yawned yawn.

He was a little helpless: "I'm not sleepy, if you are sleepy, just lie down here."

"Ah, how can I do that, Teacher Xu gave me the task, I must do it well."

I pressed his shoulders with both hands and forced him to lie down, but there is a huge difference in physical strength between men and women. I tried hard for a long time, but he didn't move at all. I was a little discouraged.

"Are you going to sleep or not?" I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I just want to complete the tasks assigned to me perfectly.

However, Sunan did not cooperate.

He stared at me, his eyes were dark and bright, with a trace of water vapor floating, and the corners of his eyes were curved, like a beautiful half moon.

Then, he slowly approached me, leaned close to my ear, and said in a low voice: "I can't sleep, why don't you coax me?"

His voice was low and deep, and I shivered for a while, and hurriedly avoided it, covered my ears, and my voice became high-pitched: "Speak as soon as you talk, why are you so close to me?"

He ignored my complaints and still looked at me with a smile.

I think that Sunan's frequent switching of the four emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy recently has made me a little confused by Monk Zhang Er. Let's attribute it to him being temporarily abnormal due to the exam.

Just coax it.

I asked, "Then do you have any bedtime songs that you like to listen to?"

"Bedtime song?" He froze for a moment.

"Yes." I urged him, "You decide quickly."

He coughed unnaturally, turned his head away, but his neck was a little red: "Whatever."

I looked at him with a wooden face: "Sorry, there is no such song."

He was a little impatient: "I don't know either."

I sighed: "Why don't I sing "Insects Fly" for you?"

""Insects Fly"?" He rarely showed a puzzled expression.

I had an expression of "Aren't you?" "When we were young, your mother often sang this song with us, have you forgotten?"

He shook his head honestly: "I don't remember."

I cleared my throat and got ready: "But I remember, you lie down."

Sunan glanced at me uncertainly, then lay down, and then looked at me fixedly.

I was flustered by his look: "Close your eyes!"

Sunan closed his eyes obediently, and I breathed a sigh of relief. After going through the tune and lyrics of "Cong Er Fly" in my mind, I began to sing slowly.

I don't sing very well. In Fang Xiaojing's words, not being out of tune is already my best performance.I don't have the singing voice of Fang Xiaojing who was kissed by an angel, and I don't have the musical talent of idol Wei Sen. I can only try my best to sing this song well and give it to my only audience.

Halfway through singing, Sunan opened his eyes and looked at me tenderly.

I was a little embarrassed, and asked very rigorously: "How is the singing?"

"Average." He commented quickly and accurately.

Although I don't expect him to praise me, it's too perfunctory. I leaned over and groaned: "Is it really normal? I feel pretty good."

"That's your feeling." Su Nan raised his lips and smiled, "When people look in the mirror, they will beautify their appearance by 30%."

I:"……"

What does he mean, I'm intoxicated?
I slapped him on the chest, and he snorted, gritted his teeth and stared at me: "Hu Le!"

"What's your name? Since you said that I sing badly, then I won't coax you. Go to sleep slowly." As I said that, I climbed out of bed, but Sunan didn't stop me, just watched me close the door and leave .

After the lunch break, we tidied up everything and set off to the examination room.

Once in the car, Sunan looked at the scenery outside the window in a good mood.Seeing him in high spirits, I was relieved a lot.

Ye Yan glanced at Su Nan, then at me, and asked, "Where's that primary school boy?"

I just remembered Zhou Chengguang...

I left him alone in the lobby of the hotel and let him fend for himself. If Ye Yan hadn't mentioned it, I would have really forgotten about it.

When Zhou Chengguang was mentioned, Sunan, who was originally in a happy mood, suddenly glanced at me.

He pursed his lips and stared at me dangerously. I swallowed and said, "Well, nothing will happen to him. There are people following him."

Ye Yan smiled and stopped talking.

Teacher Xu, on the other hand, was a little worried: "Who is following? He is running around by himself, so it's not safe after all. Hu Le, do you have his phone number? Call and ask."

With Sunan Taishan pressing down my eyes, I said weakly: "Mr. Xu, I...forgot to bring my mobile phone."

Teacher Xu said "Oh" and patted himself on the head: "Look at my memory."

"Use mine." Ye Yan gently handed me the phone.

I hesitated for a moment, then took the phone.

To be honest, I'm not sensitive to numbers. So far, I haven't remembered my home phone number, but I remember Zhou Chengguang's phone number.

There is no way, his string of 888, Fafafa, it is difficult not to remember.

I bite the bullet and press the phone number. Not long after, the call is connected, and the voice on the other end is soft: "Hello."

I said, "Zhou Chengguang, where did you go?"

His voice was a little hoarse, as if he was awakened in his sleep, with a hint of confusion: "Hu Le?"

"Of course it's me. Where have you been? Teacher Xu told you not to run around and come home with us tomorrow."

There was a chuckle on the other end of the phone: "Are you worried about me?"

Under tremendous pressure, I laughed dryly: "Why don't you worry, we are good friends."

"Good friend..." Zhou Chengguang drew his voice, and finally smiled again, "I'm fine, I'm taking a lunch break at the hotel. You have activities tonight, I'll wait for you at the hotel."

It is waiting for you, not you.

I said a few perfunctory words, and hung up on the grounds that the phone belonged to someone else and I couldn't waste other people's money.

After the phone call, I breathed a sigh of relief and touched my back, which was wet a lot.

It's a really nerve-wracking call.

I returned the phone to Ye Yan and said thank you, Ye Yan shook her head: "It's okay."

She looked at Sunan and smiled slightly, which was different from the polite smile she gave me. When she faced Sunan, she smiled from the bottom of her heart.She asked: "After today's National Physics Competition, the organizer had a grand dinner party. It was a small dance. Sunan, can I invite you to be my dance partner?"

The air froze for a moment.

I looked at Sunan, thinking that he would agree, after all, Ye Yan is a master of learning and a goddess, with countless halos on her head, who would refuse?

Sunan glanced at me, then said to Ye Yan, "We'll talk about it tonight."

Tonight?

Ye Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Let's talk about it tonight." Then, she pointed the finger at me again, "Hu Le, since the elementary school brother is still here, let him go too."

I said "ah", "Isn't that good?"

After all, I am already eating and drinking by myself, and now I have to bring someone to eat and drink with me. Although I am thick-skinned, I still have a bottom line.

Teacher Xu, who has been unable to find a sense of presence, can finally insert the topic: "Then Zhou Chengguang will participate in the name of my family."

As soon as Teacher Xu opened his mouth, everyone fell silent.

The afternoon passed quickly, maybe I was too nervous in the morning, but now I am much calmer, so when Sunan came out along the crowd, I stood where I was and looked at him with a smile.

He approached me and nodded to the teacher again: "Mr. Xu, I kept you waiting for a long time."

I looked left and right.

Sunan reached out and straightened my head naturally: "What are you looking at?"

I was curious: "Where's Ye Yan?"

"Her parents are here." Sunan stated lightly.

I said "ah": "Ye Yan's parents are here. It's great. They put down their work and came all the way to encourage her..."

But the more I talked, the quieter I became, because I thought of Su's father and Su's mother.

During the Sunan exam, one of the husband and wife was training in another place, and the other was busy with surgery, so they couldn't even send him the most important exam admission ticket.

With such a comparison, I always feel that Sunan is not their own.

"Is the question in the afternoon difficult?" Teacher Xu is a teacher after all, and he just asked the test paper.

I thought to myself, I have already passed the test, and I was worried that the facts would not be changed, so I added: "It's okay, even if you fail the test, your image in my heart will not change."

Teacher Xu frowned: "Good or bad, Hu Le, you better stop talking."

I bow my head and shut up.

Sunan patted my head: "Oh, what image do I have in your heart?"

I replied without thinking: "The omnipotent mutation master."

Sunan: "..."

Teacher Xu:"……"

Sunan said that Ye Yan would return to the hotel on time, and the three of us returned to the hotel with peace of mind.

When we got in the car, Teacher Xu suddenly remembered Zhou Chengguang, and handed the phone to me: "Hu Le, call Zhou Chengguang and let him get ready, the party is about to start."

I hesitated to take the phone, and looked up at Sunan. He folded his arms around his chest, leaned on the seat and closed his eyes to rest, as if he hadn't heard Teacher Xu's words at all.

I took a breath and made a phone call.

I faltered about the purpose of this call, and Zhou Chengguang said he understood that he must dress up tonight. After hearing this, I couldn't stop laughing.

I returned the phone to Mr. Xu, and took another look at Sunan. He kept his original movements and remained motionless.

Alas, I think I may have run out of food tonight.

Although the party was just a small gathering, because it brought together top students from various cities, the Director of the Education Bureau and several leaders of City C would go there.

Therefore, the party suddenly became extremely grand.

The general manager of the Junyu Hotel branch issued an order to refuse foreign guests tonight, and even hung a banner at the hotel gate to welcome the students back.

When I heard this news, I was in trouble.

I came here in a hurry, without any clothes, smelling the smell of the clothes on my body, it seemed a bit rotten.

Am I going to the party in this dress?
I can completely imagine that when I appeared in this outfit, the disgusted expressions that everyone could not avoid.

I was running around in a hurry in the room, not only reluctant to eat delicious food, but also afraid that I would spoil everyone's mood, and most importantly, I would hurt Sunan.

You know, it depends on a person's taste, the key is the friends he associates with. I don't want Sunan to be seen as having no taste and bring a poor and sloppy person to the party.

Thinking of this, I can only reluctantly give up.

Sunan came to the room to look for me, and I sighed: "Su Nan, I won't go tonight. You see, all the people who go tonight are big shots. How dare I show up for such a small screw."

He looked at me fixedly and said, "Tell the truth."

I sighed again.

This is the disadvantage of growing up together, I can't lie to him at all.

So I simply told the truth: "I have no clothes to wear, and the clothes on my body are still smelly. If I go down, what if a large number of people are smoked to death? And why don't you remind me, Sunan? Your nose is Isn't it broken? I smell so strong, why don't you react at all?"

I finished speaking without a break and looked straight at him.

Sunan froze for a moment, very serious: "I'm used to it."

I:"……"

After he finished speaking, he passed me and stepped into the room.

I was stunned for a moment, said "Hey", and chased after me relentlessly: "What do you mean by that? What are you used to? Are you used to the smell of pickled vegetables on me, or are you used to my sloppy appearance?"

He turned around, stuffed a paper bag into my arms angrily, and said angrily: "There's so much nonsense, go and change it."

"What is this?" I opened the paper bag suspiciously, and found a bright yellow dress inside, with a generous and simple style, and no extra decorations.No matter how careless I am, I am a girl after all, and no girl will refuse a beautiful skirt.

I was a little flattered: "Are you going to send me off?"

"No." he replied.

"Ah?" It wasn't for me, why did you give it to me, to tease me?

"It's just borrowed, and I have to return it to the store after wearing it." Sunan said lightly.

Happiness comes quickly and goes faster, I gave a faint "oh".

But even so, Sunan is a timely help, I grinned at him: "No matter what, thank you."

I stood on tiptoe and patted him on the shoulder in a friendly way.

Sunan shook my hand away in disgust, and urged: "Hurry up and change, the party is about to begin."

I smiled and took the skirt into the bathroom.

I washed my hair in the bathroom, took a shower, washed the pickle smell off me, put away the dirty clothes, and put on the dress religiously.

There is a full-length mirror in the bathroom, and when I look at myself in the mirror, it always feels like I'm looking at another person.I tilted my head, and the girl in the mirror tilted her head too, her slightly damp hair stuck to her exposed shoulders, bringing a bit of coolness.

At this moment, I finally understand why girls like to wear skirts.

I used to watch Disney cartoons, and what impressed me the most was that Cinderella, with the help of the magic fairy, put on the princess dress and became the object of much attention.

And who is my magic fairy?
Thinking of Sunan waving the fairy wand expressionlessly, I burst out laughing.

When I was overjoyed, someone knocked on the bathroom door, and Sunan's voice came through the glass: "Are you all right?"

"Okay, okay." I replied, holding the hem of the skirt with one hand, and the wet end of my hair with the other, and opened the door with difficulty.

As soon as I went out, I ran into Sunan's eyes.

He was originally impatient, but when he saw me, he froze on the spot without saying a word, just looking at me straight.

I waved my hand in front of him, "What are you doing?"

Sunan reacted, clenched his fist and coughed lightly, turned around awkwardly, his tone was a little unstable: "dry your hair, hurry up."

I let out an "oh" and found the hair dryer. The whirring hot wind made me squint my eyes.Through the flying mess of hair, I saw Sunan looking at me motionlessly.

I half-dried my hair and scratched it randomly.

After I finished tidying up, I walked up to Sunan, turned around in front of him, and asked nervously, "How is it, how is it? Is it okay for me to do this?"

Sunan's reaction tonight always seems to be a little slow, and he paused for a long time before answering: "Normal."

I said angrily, "Is it your proper noun? Everything is average. Is your vocabulary so lacking?"

"It can catch your eyes." He said again.

I:"……"

Forget it, I waved my hand helplessly, what is the truth between me and him, if you want to dig out a compliment from this iron mouth, it is really harder than looking at the moon for nine days.I recite silently in my heart, don't force, don't force.

When Sunan and I were ready, we took the elevator down together.When Zhou Chengguang was there, Teacher Xu said he would be notified.

I think I have another important task besides eating tonight, which is to separate Sunan and Zhou Chengguang.After all, one of these two people is sodium and the other is water, and when they meet together, they react violently.

By the time we arrived at the hotel lobby, the crowds had almost arrived. Several adults in suits and leather shoes toasted and chatted, while those young and mature academic masters were still discussing rigorous academic issues.

I glanced at Sunan, who naturally took two glasses of fresh orange juice from the waiter, handed me one, and then looked around slowly with that glass of fresh orange juice.

I admire Sunan for this.

Sometimes, a master of learning is equal to a nerd, because he focuses on studying and leaves everything else behind.

But Sunan is different.

He didn't study 24 hours a day, he just played when he wanted to. Although he was a top student, when it came to basketball, he looked good.He loves Kobe, he loves watching sports, he loves playing games...

I remember he liked skateboarding for a while, and then I got itchy hands and begged him to teach me until I broke my head on a skateboard.Since then, Sunan has pressed the skateboard to the bottom of the box and never took it out again.

When I think about it, it's like I'm holding back a rising star in skateboarding.

"Su Nan." I called him.

He let out a "hmm", subconsciously bent down and approached me, matching my height.The hotel lobby is very noisy and he did this so he could hear me clearly.And I don't have to talk to him at the top of my voice.

In fact, sometimes, Sunan is very gentlemanly and careful.

The corner of my mouth was slightly curved, and I was about to speak, but out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ye Yan walking towards us with her skirt in hand.

My words suddenly stuck in my throat.

As soon as she appeared, it immediately caused quite a commotion.Although the top students are all focused on their studies, they have not lost their aesthetics. Ye Yan has a protagonist aura, and everyone's eyes are attracted to her.

But Ye Yan ignored everyone's eyes, and walked towards Sunan with her skirt up her skirt without looking sideways. She didn't smile until she reached his side, smiling like a flower.

She said, "Su Nan, can I invite you to a dance later?"
