It took Zhao Jianan a while to digest what Gu Ning said.
He took a deep breath, and his gentle and jade-like face returned to calm again, "No money."
Gu Ning, "What?"
"There is no charge for making up lessons." Zhao Jianan looked down at her and whispered.
The sun shines through the thick clouds and shines brightly on her face, making her skin more white and her features more picturesque.
Gu Ning was startled for a moment, "Then - how is that good?"
There is no charge for tutoring.
If it's an acquaintance, forget it.
Zhao Jianan's worth is indeed not low, and his time cannot be measured with money.
Not to mention, free tutoring.
Zhao Jianan smiled and said, "The teacher also gave me free tutoring before, just like it - a reincarnation."
Back then, the teacher gave him free tutoring lessons, and now he is tutoring the teacher's granddaughter.
Zhao Jianan is undoubtedly good-looking. When he smiles, his eyebrows are slightly curved, and his eyes seem to hide the stars and the sea, which are extremely transparent and beautiful.
It's that kind of clean and gentle temperament that makes people unable to take their eyes away.
Gu Ning was in a daze, she smiled brightly, "Then I'll trouble Teacher Zhao."
She is not a rude person to begin with, her style is to do things neatly and neatly, and having taken such a big detour before has already made her a little impatient.
Instead, it's better to go straight to the point.
And Zhao Jianan just likes Gu Ning's neatness and will not hesitate at all.
That kind of generosity made all his previous discomfort disappear.
Facing Gu Ning, he didn't feel like he was facing a little girl.
Rather like? Brother!
The two of them stood at the door of the courtyard with red walls and green tiles. The wooden door was open, and the snowflakes beside them were falling in the wind.
Zhao Jianan is as gentle as jade and extremely cheerful.
Gu Ning is bright and charming, with a bright smile and a carefree look.
It's really a perfect match.
However, standing behind the locust tree, Zhou Zhiyuan's heart seemed to be suddenly grabbed by a pair of big hands. He felt like a clown, hiding in a dark corner.
To take a peek at Gu Ning's life after leaving him.
Zhou Zhiyuan felt that this didn't look like him.
He strode out from behind the big tree, "Gu Ning——"
Zhou Zhiyuan had never been so impulsive. When he stood in front of Gu Ning, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have any position.
but--
It's already too late.
Gu Ning was originally chatting and laughing with Zhao Jian'an, smiling brightly, but when she saw Zhou Zhiyuan suddenly appeared, the curve of her lips instantly dropped and the smile disappeared.
She looked up at Zhou Zhiyuan, who was two meters away.
She hadn't seen him for a few days. He had lost a lot of weight, and his facial features had become more sharp and angular, like an unsheathed knife. Its sharpness could almost cut people into pieces.
but--
What does this have to do with her?
Gu Ning nodded towards him and said calmly, "Comrade Zhou!"
Three words.
Suddenly the relationship between the two people was completely separated.
Zhou Zhiyuan took a step back. He would rather Gu Ning scolded and yelled at him than see Gu Ning being polite to her like this.
Like——
The most familiar stranger.
Zhou Zhiyuan seemed to be nailed to the spot by a nail, and the Ning Ning who came to his mouth also turned into Gu Ning, "Gu Ning--" Don't be like this.
His voice was harsh, as if he had been pricked by a thorn, which hurt the heart.
Gu Ning didn't have the patience to say life and death with him, or rather, it was between you and me.
She is full of love and enthusiasm.
It had already been on the bridge pier, swallowed up by the wind, snow, and the waves of the river.
Some are just indifferent and strangers.
Gu Ning even had the mood to smile, "Comrade, what's the matter with you?"
Her smile is as bright as a blooming flower.
But the smile didn't reach his eyes, and his bright eyes stared at the other person closely.
Saying this, I even want to pretend.
From Comrade Zhou to this comrade, the relationship is more than a thousand miles apart.
Zhou Zhiyuan thought about many possible outcomes of meeting Gu Ning, but never thought of this.
He stood there, like a sculpture dried by the wind, "Loan usury——"
He opened his mouth, but was suddenly interrupted by Gu Ning. Her tone was cold, "If this is the case, I suggest Comrade Zhou not to speak, because -" She said every word, "I am not interested in this matter."
interest!"
These words suddenly shattered Zhou Zhiyuan's joy.
The loan sharking has come to an end and he has caught many people.
He wanted to say, Ning Ning, you are completely safe.
but--)
When he looked up, he saw Gu Ning's cold eyebrows and distant expression.
This made Zhou Zhiyuan subconsciously tighten his hands, "Okay - then I won't talk about this -" his tone slowed down a bit, and even had a low profile, "You said before that you had to make up lessons.
?”
He can help her with extra lessons!
Before he could speak the rest of the words, he was interrupted again by Gu Ning.
Gu Ning raised her hand and skillfully put her arm on Zhao Jianan's arm. She said calmly, "No need, I already have a tutor to make up for the class."
She spoke the word "tutor" very clearly.
Is he a tutor?
Or an object?
She didn't say anything, but Zhou Zhiyuan thought a lot at that moment. His face suddenly became a little colder, especially those eyes that were shooting at Zhao Jianan, as if they were hiding blades, and they were trying to kill Zhao Jianan.
Every piece of land was cut.
Zhou Zhiyuan is such a powerful person!
When you are so full of momentum and specifically target someone alone.
The pressure has almost doubled.
There was even sweat on Zhao Jianan's forehead for a moment, but he looked down at the pair of small, jade-white hands on his arms.
When he looked up again, there was even a slight smile on his gentle and jade-like face, "Uncle Zhou, training is your strength, but making up lessons is indeed my strength!"
After a pause, under Zhou Zhiyuan's almost murderous gaze, he pointed out specifically.
"After all, I graduated from Qingdao University, but Uncle Zhou went to the army before graduating from high school, right?"
This is the dark side of Zhao Jianan.
Compare his strengths with Zhou Zhiyuan's weaknesses.
At the beginning, the eldest son of the Zhou family died, and Zhou Zhiyuan was ordered to give up his studies in the face of danger.
He even gave up his excellent results in the college entrance examination and went directly to the army.
Start from scratch.
All the way from an ordinary soldier, to further training in the military academy, all the way to where I am now.
As long as Zhou Zhiyuan is willing, he can become the top leader in Anzhou City in the future if he changes his career and comes back.
However, Zhou Zhiyuan was unwilling.
Of course, Zhao Jianan did not mention any of this.
He only mentioned the other person's shortcomings.
He is brilliant, but at the same time, he also has his own dark side, looking for an opportunity.
Zhao Jianan originally thought that his words would hit Zhou Zhiyuan.
After all, as a man, if he is hit like this in front of the person of the opposite sex he likes, he will feel helpless and self-loathing.
But it disappointed him.
Zhou Zhiyuan's expression did not even change.
He raised his eyes, glanced at Zhao Jian'an lightly, and said calmly, "Jian'an, you have always been excellent."
After a pause, he raised his eyebrows and said in a cold tone, "But when it comes to evaluating a man, academic qualifications are not the only factor."
Calm and calm.
When facing the enemy, he not only praised the enemy, but also dug an invisible hole for the enemy.
really.
Zhao Jianan's face, as gentle as jade, stiffened for a moment.
However, Zhou Zhiyuan no longer paid attention to him.
Instead, it was transferred to Gu Ning.
Zhou Zhiyuan looked at Gu Ning persistently, as if he wanted Gu Ning's recognition, "Gu Ning, as a soldier, my academic qualifications are indeed not as high as Zhao Jian'an's."
Then, he changed the topic, "But I have been in the army for many years, I have studied at the local military academy, and I have graduated from the capital military academy. I think this is-"
He hasn't finished the rest yet.
But he was suddenly interrupted by Gu Ning.
She raised her hand and waved it neatly, and said calmly, "Comrade Zhou, does your past have anything to do with me?"
Just a few words.
But like a sharp blade coated with poison, it suddenly flew towards Zhou Zhiyuan.
Not only the physical pain, but also the mental pain.
Faced with Zhao Jian'an's silent conspiracy and attacks, Zhou Zhiyuan could calmly and calmly fight back.
In the face of academic shortcomings, he can be honest about his shortcomings.
but--
Gu Ning's attitude of setting aside the relationship.
But Zhou Zhiyuan stumbled a little, and he shook his body.
Rarely, a hint of astonishment and surprise appeared on his usually calm face.
"Gu, Ning,"
He shouted by name and surname, his voice was deep and astringent.
A gust of wind blew by, as if his whole body was about to be blown away.
Thin and lean, like a bent green bamboo, a little less straight and a little more sickly.
Only then did Gu Ning realize that Zhou Zhiyuan had not been seen for a while.
Seems to have lost a lot of weight.
Gu Ning's heart also shrank.
However, she soon adjusted her mood.
Has he lost weight?
What does it have to do with her?
They are strangers, aren't they?
Gu Ning hardened her heart and spoke coldly:
"Comrade Zhou, please call me Comrade Gu Ning. I don't think we can get to know each other well enough to call each other's names."
After a pause, "Besides, since we are already strangers, it's better not to meet each other? What does Comrade Zhou think?"
This sentence was originally spoken by Zhou Zhiyuan himself.
But now, when Gu Ning said it again, it seemed like the straw that broke the camel's back.
Zhou Zhiyuan's face tensed up instantly, and his throat had a fishy sweetness that he couldn't suppress, "I'm sorry, maybe,"
I shouldn't have come.
Zhou Zhiyuan said sorry.
This is something unprecedented.
Gu Ning looked up at him and quickly looked away.
He invited Zhao Jianan next to him, "Come in, the food at home will be ready soon."
In a simple sentence.
For Zhou Zhiyuan, it was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.
Come inside.
The food at home is almost ready!
This is treating Zhao Jianan as one of his own!
And treat him as an outsider!
Zhao Jian'an also noticed that the mood between the two seemed not right.
He was smart enough not to ask, but nodded in agreement, "It just so happens that I haven't thought about Aunt Liu's craftsmanship for a long time. I miss her so much!"
Masters compete with each other.
If you say it, it may be unremarkable.
But if you think carefully, you will know that the intention is sinister.
Zhao Jianan's common words were definitely not aimless. He had been prepared for it.
Moreover, some of them were targeted, and they were targeting Zhou Zhiyuan.
The meaning is revealed in the words.
During Zhou Zhiyuan's absence, he had become quite familiar with the Gu family.
Moreover, she is very familiar with Gu Ning's mother, Liu Shuzhen.
After all, missing Gu Ning's mother's craftsmanship means entering the palace.
It’s not that Zhou Zhiyuan doesn’t understand.
He just doesn't want to understand.
He could only watch helplessly as Gu Ning and Zhao Jianan entered the house together.
He clenched his fists tightly with both hands, and his throat felt fishy and sweet. He couldn't suppress it anymore, and he began to cough suppressedly and restrainedly.
He bent over and hunched over, as if he wanted to cough out his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.
I don't know how long it took.
There was a gray-and-white checkered handkerchief in front of Zhou Zhiyuan's eyes. A flash of surprise quickly flashed in his eyes, but when he saw the person coming.
His surprise can fade away like a tide.
"Uncle Zhou, wipe it!"
Gu Yao stood there and handed him a handkerchief. When she noticed the surprise that disappeared in an instant on the man's face, she felt extremely unwilling.
However, she didn't show any signs of it, instead her voice was as delicate and timid as ever.
Gu Yao wore a waist-cinched cotton jacket, revealing her plump waist, making her look even more delicate.
And the hands hidden under the cotton-padded jacket.
Only half of it was exposed, and it was vaguely visible, and the slender white fingers were holding a square handkerchief, showing a bit of pitifulness in the frailty.
When she looked up at the other person, it was as if she was looking at her own heaven.
Gu Yao was not pretending, and she really thought Zhou Zhiyuan was her face.
In Gu Yao's opinion, there is no better man than Zhou Zhiyuan.
Not only did he have great military exploits, but he also had an excellent family background.
He has a handsome appearance and sharp edges and corners.
Wearing a long black coat, he looks dignified in black, has short sharp hair, a tall and straight posture, and indifferent eyebrows.
When he was silent, his whole person exuded an air of calmness and dignity.
Just standing next to him is a kind of oppression.
Gu Yao suppressed her fear and showed her hospitality.
Zhou Zhiyuan followed the hands and looked up. When he saw Gu Yao's face, which resembled Gu Ning's, he was in a trance for a moment.
Gu Ning——
She has never been so weak, let alone so delicate and timid.
This is not Gu Ning!
And noticed that Zhou Zhiyuan did not speak, but focused his eyes on his face.
Gu Yao was confident in her face. She hated Gu Ning, but she had to admit one thing.
The only way she can get close to Zhou Zhiyuan is.
It's his face that looks a bit similar to Gu Ning's.
Moreover, this is also her only chance.
By catching Zhou Zhiyuan, she can make a comeback!
After realizing this problem, Gu Yao became excited.
She was so excited that she couldn't help trembling.
Gu Ning and Zhou Zhiyuan completely broke up!
Gu Yao handed the square handkerchief forward, feeling more and more proud in her heart, but her face became softer and more considerate.
"Uncle Zhou, don't be angry with me for being angry with my sister. She is just such a person. She always ignores her when her temper rises.
Never estimate other people's feelings.
Moreover, she has always been like this, arrogant and domineering since she was a child, unlike me, who is extremely timid and never dares to deal with others——"
Her voice was a little softer and intermittent, "Don't dare to lose your temper with others!"
After a pause, she looked up and noticed that Zhou Zhiyuan didn't look at her at all.
Instead, he stubbornly stared at the figure behind the door.
Gu Yao secretly hated her and spoke provocatively, "Uncle Zhou, please stop looking. My sister and Zhao Jianan have been hooking up for a long time. Even if you are looking, she won't look back. She is such a hard-hearted person!"
When Gu Yao said these words, Zhou Zhiyuan had been watching Gu Ning's leaving figure.
Finally, he condescended to look at Gu Yao for a moment.
Senran's indifferent gaze made Gu Yao's scalp numb immediately.
She endured the discomfort and fear.
He lowered his head gently, revealing his most beautiful profile, and his voice became more considerate:
"Uncle Zhou, I really feel sorry for you! You are so good, why doesn't my sister know how to cherish you?"
