Unrequited Love

The 11th Golden Week is coming vigorously. Luo Zhi did not go home, but stayed in Beijing to continue working as a tutor and work part-time to make money. On the night of September 30th, I stayed up all night and finished the translation of more than 10,000 words. From conscientious work to concise handling, I finally made it to the end, stumbled and sent it to the designated mailbox, and immediately collapsed on the bed unconscious.

She only woke up at night. She was so hungry that she had a stomachache, and she was struggling to unpack the bread bag. The phone buzzed and vibrated on the bed.

"Mother Tiffany calls."

Luo Zhi started tutoring in her freshman year, but her tutoring job was a bit special. To put it bluntly, she was the little nanny who looked after the children—two Chinese-American children, a pair of siblings. I just returned to China a year ago and studied at an international school in Shanghai for a year, and then moved to the Beijing branch with my mother to continue her studies.

A driver drove a Porsche Cayenne to the school to pick her up that day. It took an hour and a half to reach the Shunyi villa area. Tiffany's home is as refined as a candy house in a fairy tale. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw a boy with a beautiful golden retriever open the white fence of the yard and ran towards her, and a little girl chased it out, white and tender and sweet, like a loli from a Japanese cartoon.

Then they stopped in front of her, and the girl showed deep dimples when she laughed.

"I’mTiffany, andwhoareyou?"

The corners of Luo Zhi's mouth twitched, and he was frightened. Everything in front of her seemed to be the frame of an idol drama, perhaps she was lonely and ignorant of her little family, but everything in life suddenly appeared in front of her, and no one was able to relax.

No matter how shocked, she still pretended to be calm on the surface, lowered her head, smiled sweetly and said kindly: "I’mJuno."

Then he raised his head and nodded to the beautiful pale mother standing in front of the rose flower wall.

The children's music teacher played a pull-style (referring to Rachmaninov) concerto in front of the pure white grand piano. She was dragged by the children to throw a frisbee on the big grass with the golden retriever. Sitting in the yard at night on the BBQ (outdoor barbecue), the Filipino maids circled around the family.

It turns out that the lives of those senior officials and rich second generations in the novel are really not covered.

Luo Zhi sighed, thinking this might not be too ridiculous, at least she hadn't seen the manor castle and the British butler.

In the afternoon, she spoke in a mixture of Chinese and English, helping the children correct the composition grammar, explaining to them the meaning of the Tang poems arranged by her mother, practicing the violin with Tiffany, and most importantly, playing with them.

In fact, Luo Zhi is not close to his children. She has a phobia of babies, and she can't handle any children over three years younger than her. Coaxing intimately is not what she is good at, let alone how to mingle with them. In fact, the children liked her very much, but they only liked her instead of being close. They would look at her with timid and curious eyes, carefully hand her a piece of fruit, listen to the story around her, and then pounce on others to act like a baby.

But she had to work hard to please the two children, hoping they would like her. This is a high-paying job, but the technical content is not high. She hopes to get the job, so she has to "unintentionally" show her talent and affinity to the hostess who has been quietly observing around.

Later, it is said that she defeated more than 20 candidates and became a glorious "rich tutor"...

Luo Zhi didn't know if he should put this pen in his resume.

After more than half a year, she and Tiffany brothers and sisters got closer and closer, and there was no need to pretend to be lively and kind in front of them like the first day. She slowly returned to what she was, still trying her best to teach them, but she was always a little absent-minded when playing with them.

Now she has become accustomed to the feeling of the gap, and she will not feel lost every time she returns to the dilapidated dormitory building from Tiffany's house, feeling filled with emotion, as if she had just traveled back.

Tiffany's mother called from the United States, and the other party asked Luo Zhi if she could take her two children to Happy Valley tomorrow. Luo Zhi Dodges, there must be a lot of people in Happy Valley during Holiday. The two children have played in Disneyland in the United States, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, China. They should not have much interest in Happy Valley. Not to mention insecurity, she is afraid of accidents. .

Luo Zhifang felt a little strange when he repeatedly requested on the phone.

"Auntie, what happened?"

Luo Zhi felt awkward every time she called her "auntie". She looks too young to be mortal.

"Luo Zhi, in fact, Jake was a little awkward with us. He was about to run away from home and was discovered by us. Recently, he has been very fierce to classmates and his sister. It's okay. You don’t need it these days. Come here, I brought them to the United States, but he wouldn’t go with me. Now only Jya is watching them at home, I am sorry to trouble you every day. You accompany them out to play and relax, okay? Come to Beijing for a year Well, they haven't gone out much yet."

No matter how strange Luo Zhi felt, he was ashamed to refuse.

"Then tomorrow morning, let's leave at eight o'clock. I remember Happy Valley should open at around nine o'clock. The sooner you go, the better, otherwise you can't play anything, you can only queue."

"Okay, Xiao Chen will pick you up at the east gate of your school at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Let him accompany you, so you can take care of you. Actually, Jake doesn't want to take his sister with him, just wants to come out alone with you. They are always quarreling now, you can persuade me a little bit."

"I try my best, don't worry."

Early in the morning, Luo Zhi stood dazedly at the east gate blowing cold wind. At night, it was a little too much to sleep. I was originally just looking through the "Thirteenth Story" I just bought, but I didn't expect to be hooked.

The car lights flashed twice, Luo Zhi opened his eyes and saw Tiffany's little hand waving on the back seat.

"Juno, here (Juno, here)!!!"

A couple standing not far from Luo Zhi followed Tiffany's call and looked at her with surprise, and she quickly lowered her head and got into the car.

Luo Zhi tried his best along the way, trying to know what the two children were awkward. No matter how you look at it, Tiffany is a mischievous look just like normal, but Jake is silent a lot. , Rarely reply.

"Juno, Franzisca said that red bean double skin milk is very delicious, next time you come and make it for us? Brother likes it too, right?"

Jake looked out the window and muttered vaguely: "Yeah."

Without traffic jams, you can see the tall rockery and various high-altitude amusement facilities of Happy Valley from the car window in less than half an hour. The driver Xiao Chen went to the car. Luo Zhi took the two children out of the car first and told him to wait for him under the red balloon at the main entrance. Jake suddenly said loudly, "Uncle Chen, if you follow in, I won't play."

Bringing Xiao Chen was originally the result of a compromise between the two children and the adults in the family, but Jake turned his face temporarily. Anyway, Xiao Chen is not his mother, so it's nothing to use them. Luo Zhi coaxed left and right, he just didn't let go.

In the end, Luo Zhi winked at Xiao Chen—you could just follow it slowly in the distance, anyway, they must have spent most of their time in the queue today.

After entering the door, Luo Zhi took them straight to the "Ant Kingdom", where there are relaxing rides, children's restaurants and 4D cinemas that children like.

Children seldom complain about each other like adults, and the two smashing Disneyland children are still extremely excited in Happy Valley. Jake's interest also rose, and Tiffany sat on the little frog Lele and screamed, waving his hands to let Luo Zhi take pictures of them underneath.

So tossing until noon, after watching a 4D children's movie called "The Kingdom of Ants" that puts Luo Zhilei on the body, they sat down in the small restaurant and prepared to have lunch.

Luo Zhi left them in their seats, picked up their wallets and went to line up. Jake still yelled vigorously from behind: "I want vanilla and chocolate mixed for ice cream!"

"Damn, you really want us as a group to squeeze with the kids to eat together, to destroy humanity!"

Luo Zhi, who was in the line, looked back at the yelling man with a little impatiently, but he heard a familiar voice answer.

"Is there any way, there are fewer people here than there just now, and there are more types of lunch. You are so temperamental. When the siblings just said that the ant train was cute, why did you whisper and say you want to sit?"

Everyone was booing, and many parents were already watching the group of young people who had suddenly entered with guard and surprise.
