Xiao Family Courtyard

Chapter 6

Chen Ze rubbed his stomach, thinking angrily why he felt uncomfortable even though he hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls.

Because Xiao Chengcheng said he was going to eat hot pot, Chen Ze had no choice but to let him go.

But I didn't expect this kid's soup base to be extra spicy. I really can't tell, it should be a kid's taste if it is a kid.

Chen Ze wanted to risk his life to be with the gentleman and eat it once.

The result is now such a tragedy.

Seeing Chen Ze's little actions, Xiao Chengcheng was secretly annoyed that he shouldn't let Mr. Chen eat hot pot with him.Just as he was regretting, he suddenly felt a pat on the head.

"What do you keep in your head all day, kid?"

Chen Ze scolded with a smile.

"Eh...me."

Xiao Chengcheng didn't know what to say!He wanted to say that I regretted it and shouldn't let you eat hot pot with me.He also wanted to ask Chen Ze if he was uncomfortable?But he dared not.

So he just shook his head.

"Nothing." Xiao Chengcheng said.

Soon arrived at the place where Chen Ze worked part-time.

"Please come in." Chen Ze pushed open the glass door of the cake shop and let Xiao Chengcheng behind him come in.

"Thank you." Xiao Chengcheng just finished thanking him and entered the store.

Then I heard a strange cry, "Oh, what time is it, why don't you come to work at night." "Xiao Chen, what did you do?"

Hearing this sound as soon as he entered the door, Xiao Chengcheng shook his shoulders, and goose bumps came out.

"What is your setting? It's a bit like a mother." Chen Ze teased.

The person who spoke just now is the owner of the cake shop where Chen Ze works part-time. "Isn't it because you delayed my appointment? Since you are here, I will leave first."

After all, the boss immediately went out with his bag.

"You can take a look in the store first. Or take a rest first." Chen Ze handed Xiao Chengcheng a glass of ice water and a wet towel. "Wipe your face first."

After walking outside for a long time, both of them were sweating.

Originally, Chen Ze was going to call over, but Xiao Chengcheng refused, saying that he would just be the same as Chen Ze.

Chen Ze couldn't resist him, so he had no choice but to walk over with him.Therefore, it was later than the time agreed with the boss, but Chen Ze would not tell Xiao Chengcheng about these things.

Chen Ze was thinking of Xiao Chengcheng, he didn't want the child to be too tired, and it was hot outside.

But Xiao Chengcheng was eager to stay with Chen Ze for a while longer.

Even in the dog days of the sun.

It would be better if the road was longer.

Chen Ze didn't know what the child was thinking. If he knew, he might think that the child's mind could not be turned around.Wouldn't it be better to take a taxi here earlier and turn on the air conditioner in the cake shop? !Why bother to walk outside for so long!

It's just that Chen Ze selectively forgot that he himself usually came to work part-time because he cared for others.

Look at Xiao Chengcheng's little face flushed from the sun.

Looking at Xiao Chengcheng's flushed face, Chen Ze couldn't bear it.

I really shouldn't have come here just now.

"Chengcheng, does your face hurt? Does it look sunburned?" Chen Ze asked cautiously.

"Oh. It's okay." Xiao Chengcheng touched his face, "I don't go out much in summer, so my face is more..." In fact, Xiao Chengcheng was very conflicted. On the one hand, he felt that Mr. Chen thought him too weak, and on the other hand On the other hand, he liked Chen Ze very much and worried about himself.

"Well, yes, for boys, it's healthier to have a tanned face." Chen Ze laughed at himself, what a strange logic.

Although Xiao Chengcheng didn't know why Chen Ze laughed suddenly, he also laughed.

The whole afternoon, the two of them spent the whole afternoon in the cake shop with the air conditioner on and reading a book.

There were very few customers in the store, so Chen Ze was at leisure.Not only did he take a book to read, but he also gave Xiao Chengcheng a copy.

"This book is for you."

"Give it to me?" Xiao Chengcheng reached out to take it.

"I didn't mean to give it to you, but to show it to you." Chen Ze explained.

"Oh." Xiao Chengcheng took the book.

"Brett's wish list."

Xiao Chengcheng took the book and read the title.

"Yes, it's a good story." Chen Ze looked at Xiao Chengcheng and said with a smile, "I borrowed this book from the city library, so I can only show it to you, not give it to you."

Xiao Chengcheng curled his lips and opened the book.

I didn't say I wanted it.

Chen Ze picked up another book and read it with relish.

Occasionally, guests would come into the store, and Chen Ze would get up to entertain and see off the guests.

Chen Ze stretched his waist and looked at the boy sitting in front of the glass window.The boy sat quietly, with his head slightly lowered, looking at the book in his hand. The afternoon sun shone through the window on the boy's face, and the boy's long eyelashes left a beautifully shaped shadow on his face.The eyelashes that flutter from time to time flicker like a fluttering butterfly.

Chen Ze thought, if I can draw, I can keep the scene in front of me.

"Rest your eyes." Chen Ze stepped forward and took the book from Xiao Chengcheng's hand. "You can't read very fast."

Chen Ze looked at the page number of the book, thirteen.

This speed...is too slow.

Xiao Chengcheng looked at the thin pages opened in Chen Ze's hands, and suddenly felt embarrassed.

He...he just...was so focused on looking at Chen Ze, how could he have time to read.

Chen Ze was so absorbed in reading that he didn't notice being "peeped" at all.

After flipping through a few pages of the book, Xiao Chengcheng felt upset, because he suddenly remembered that Chen Ze had told him that the course would end at the end of this month, which meant...

Can't see you again?

Xiao Chengcheng was startled, and quickly raised his head to look at Chen Ze.He found that Chen Ze was concentrating on reading, not paying attention to the movement on his side.

Furthermore, can he know his tangled contradictions and hesitation in his heart?Will he know?Xiao Chengcheng was not in the mood to read the book. After flipping through a few pages, he began to focus on Chen Ze.

Looking at it, I was fascinated.

Slowly, my heart calmed down.

It was only later that a customer came into the store, and Chen Ze got up to greet the customer, and Xiao Chengcheng looked away.

That's why Chen Ze saw that Xiao Chengcheng only read the whole process of these few pages.

Xiao Chengcheng would not tell Chen Ze that he didn't pay attention to reading just now, but... Chen Ze only thought that he was reading slowly, to a certain extent.

"Your reading speed is too slow, you need to strengthen it. Otherwise, you will suffer from reading questions in the future exams."

Chen Ze's setting is probably to be a good teacher. ╰(￣▽￣)╭

"Yes." Xiao Chengcheng nodded in agreement. "I'll pay attention."

"Good evening everyone. I'm back." The cheerful voice of the cake shop owner came from far and near.

"It's only five o'clock, Boss." Chen Ze said helplessly, "It's not dark yet, why is it evening."

"I said good evening is good evening, what are you talking about. Hurry up and collect your things and leave. What's the matter, you don't want to get off work an hour early." The boss didn't wait for Chen Ze to answer, and immediately said, "Hurry up , take brother Xiao to have a meal and send him home."

When Xiao Chengcheng heard this, he immediately waved his hands, "No, no, no need. I don't need Mr. Chen to send me. I can go home by myself."

"Then I'm leaving, thank you boss."

Chen Ze was also polite, he pulled Xiao Chengcheng and left.

Xiao Chengcheng was quite embarrassed and was dragged away by Chen Ze.

"Mr. Chen, I can go home by myself."

"Oh, the boss let people go early, I have to seize this opportunity to get off work quickly." After walking for a while, Chen Ze responded to Brother Xiao.

"Oh, I see."

Brother Xiao foolishly understood.

"Go to dinner now, and then I'll take you home." Chen Ze made a decisive decision and arranged the next thing.

"I don't need you to send it, I can..."

"Okay, don't talk about it. You can, you can do anything, let's see what you can do."

"Chengcheng, Xiao Chengcheng, do you know how old you are? You're only 15 years old, you're not even of legal age, how can you?!"

Chen Ze noticed that his tone was harsh, and seeing Xiao Chengcheng's bewildered face, he wanted to make amends, "Look at this age, it's not safe for a boy to be alone at night."

"I'm just worried about you."

"You keep rejecting me again."

Chen Ze's tone became aggrieved. Hearing this, Xiao Chengcheng suddenly felt that he was too sensitive, but he was sent home by someone, let alone that person was Teacher Chen.

And Mr. Chen is doing it for me.

I can stay with Teacher Chen for a while longer.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Chen. Then, I will trouble you." Xiao Chengcheng looked at Chen Ze.

"Then let's go eat first." Chen Ze responded.

After dinner, when Chen Ze sent Xiao Chengcheng home, it was just dark.

"See you tomorrow, Chengcheng." Chen Ze waved his hand.

"Goodbye, Teacher Chen." Xiao Chengcheng waved his hand.

"You go in."

"Ah."

Chen Ze turned around and left when he saw Xiao Chengcheng enter the cave.

It's just that when he turned around, he didn't see it. A small head poked out from the edge of the stairs, and Xiao Chengcheng didn't turn his head until he disappeared from his vision, and then went upstairs.

Xiao Chengcheng returned home and coped with Xiao's mother's cross-examination, but he almost failed to repeat what he said outside today. "Mom, I'm a little tired. Go back and rest first."

Xiao Chengcheng bypassed Xiao Ma and walked towards the room.

"There are still hot dishes in the kitchen, reserved for you."

"No, I've eaten. Thank you, Mom."

Xiao Chengcheng was very tired.I had a great time playing with Teacher Chen outside today, although I didn't seem to play much.

But when he was lying on the bed, he felt exhausted, and after a while, Xiao Chengcheng fell asleep.

In the early morning, Xiao Chengcheng was awakened by a nightmare.

After Xiao Chengcheng got up, he was stunned for a long time, and he wiped his head and sweated his hands.Xiao Chengcheng didn't have the slightest impression of what he dreamed of, but he felt flustered.

This flustered feeling was not until Mother Xiao told him——

"Teacher Chen is not coming."

Xiao Chengcheng was taken aback when he heard the news, and he didn't hear the reason behind why Teacher Chen didn't come.

Why don't you come?

what happened?Obviously it was fine yesterday.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Xiao Chengcheng collapsed, what happened? !Why don't you come and don't come!
