Chapter 147: Childhood Friends 2

After Zhou Ying and the little boy entered the house, Li Lijun also entered and closed the door.

"Guoguo, mom and dad are back." Zhou Ying waved at Chen Ye, "Come, come here."

Chen Ye walked over and smiled at the boy, but the boy avoided his gaze and quickly turned his head away.

"This is Brother Duan Xu."

Chen Ye and Duan Xu looked at each other, staring at each other expressionlessly.

"You have seen Brother Duan Xu. He is the son of my mother's friend. Call me Brother."

Chen Ye: "Brother."

Duan Xu was probably one or two years older than Chen Ye, and taller than Chen Ye. He opened his mouth and said, "Brother."

Zhou Ying smiled and said, "Brother will live with us from now on, okay?"

Chen Ye glanced at the progress bar above Duan Xu's head, which showed 0, and nodded, "Okay."

At the dinner table, Chen also figured out what was going on.

Duan Xu's mother Hu Bing and Zhou Ying were friends who grew up together. Hu Bing fell ill not long ago and went abroad for recuperation. She was worried about leaving Duan Xu to his irresponsible father, so she asked Zhou Ying to take care of Duan Xu.

Compared to Duan Chenglin, Zhou Bing trusts his good friend more.

After dinner, Duan Xu took the initiative to help Zhou Ying wash the dishes. Zhou Ying was surprised for a moment, this child was so sensible.

Zhou Ying handed all the dishes to Li Lijun. She said to Duan Xu, "Xiao Xu, you don't have to wash the dishes. When you and Guoguo are ten years old and start to be independent, you can wash your own dishes."

Li Lijun also softened his heart when he saw him like this. He said to Chen Ye: "Guoguo, take your brother to watch TV for a while, then go back to bed. You have to go to school tomorrow."

Chen Ye pulled Duan Xu to sit on the sofa. Ultraman was playing on TV. After watching Ultraman for half an hour every night, Zhou Ying would drive him back to the house to sleep.

Staring at the TV, Chen felt a little bored. He was no longer old enough to watch cartoons and had no interest in television.

Duan Xu sat upright, looking both reserved and proper.

He was wearing a white cotton short-sleeved shirt and light-colored jeans. Although the style was simple, the logo on it showed that it was a famous brand.

I heard that Duan Xu's father is very rich, but unfortunately he is always flirting with other women. Even after marrying Hu Bing, he still doesn't restrain himself. There are red flags flying at home and colorful flags fluttering outside.

"Brother, what grade are you in?"

Duan Xu said: "Second grade."

"Are you in my school too?"

Duan Xu shook his head, then quickly nodded, "I was originally in the capital, but now I've transferred to your school."

"Great, then we can go to and from school together."

Duan Xu smiled, and his stiff back relaxed a little.

Before he came, his mother told him to listen to Aunt Zhou and get along well with the children in Aunt Zhou's family.

Duan Xu has a cousin who is a bully. He demands to be given whatever he wants and every time he comes to Duan's house, he makes a mess of his room.

So Duan Xu didn't like children younger than him, and was worried that Chen Ye would be difficult to get along with, but now it seems that Chen Ye is nothing like his little bully cousin.

Duan Xu saw Chen's smiling face and smiled too, "Okay."

After the cartoon was over, Chen Ye and Duan Xu took a shower and were sent back to the bedroom together. The Li family had two bedrooms and a living room, so only Chen Ye and Duan Xu could sleep together.

Fortunately, they are young and small, so they don't feel crowded at all sleeping in one bed.

Not long after the bedroom door was closed, Zhou Ying pushed it open and came in with two glasses of milk in her hands.

"Guoguo, Xiaoxu, drink your milk and brush your teeth before going to bed."

Chen Ye stood up from the bed, took the milk and drank it in two sips. Duan Xu took the milk and thanked him before drinking it.

As Zhou Ying went out with the empty cup, he told them to go to bed early and get up at seven o'clock the next day.

After brushing their teeth, the two went to bed again.

The overhead light was turned off, and Chen also turned on the bedside lamp.

"Brother, let's chat."

Duan Xu stared at the ceiling. When he heard Chen Ye calling him, he turned his head and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Do you have any friends in your old school? How many points did you get on your last final exam?"

Duan Xu thought for two seconds and said, "A few of my friends got full marks."

Chen also exclaimed, "How amazing."

Chen Ye's eyes widened again. He was now an elementary school student. Wouldn't this be a dimensionality reduction attack on other elementary school students?

Who hasn’t imagined suddenly traveling back to elementary school and becoming a top student?

[Don't do it, just follow the normal situation. If you suddenly become an elementary school student who can do advanced mathematics, you will probably be sent to the junior class. When you are 18 years old and studying for a doctorate, how will you capture the mission target who is still in high school? ]

[Also, are you sure that your future path is not to be a genius in elementary and middle school, but become a "Zhongyong" in high school? ]

Chen Ye's bright eyes suddenly dimmed, and his dream of being a top student was shattered.

Children are easily sleepy and do not have any problems with insomnia. Chen was sad for a few seconds about the collapse of his dream of becoming a top student, and soon fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Chen was also awakened by the suppressed crying.

He frowned and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

Chen Ye looked at Duan Xu who had his back to him and confirmed that it was Duan Xu who was crying.

Chen Ye reached out and patted Duan Xu's shoulder, "Are you crying?"

Duan Xu's shoulders visibly stiffened for a moment, and he quickly wiped away his tears, "No."

Chen also sat up, "Are you homesick?"

Duan Xu actually didn't have much attachment to his parents. His mother was usually busy with work and hardly ever met him, and his father was even worse. Duan Xu almost forgot what he looked like.

But he was only eight years old after all, and he couldn't help feeling sad when he suddenly left his familiar environment and went to someone else's home.

It was as if he had been abandoned by his parents.

Although his uncle and aunt were very nice and his brother was very well behaved, he still felt very hurt.

Duan Xu turned around and looked at Chen Ye, his eyes reddened, "I'm sorry to wake you up, go to sleep."

"It's okay," Chen Ye said, "You just left home, it's normal to miss home."

Chen Ye took a piece of paper from the bedside and wiped it on Duan Xu's face, "I will accompany you from now on and will not let you be alone."

Duan Xu looked at Chen Ye with a serious expression, and felt warm in his heart. Sometimes it is good to have a younger brother.

He slept until dawn, Zhou Ying had already prepared breakfast, but Chen Ye was still lying in bed.

Zhou Ying pushed open the door abruptly. "Guoguo, your brother has already washed up, why are you still sleeping? Hurry up and get up. After dinner, your dad will take you to school."

The quilt didn't move at all. Zhou Ying walked over and pulled it back. "Li Guo, get up right now and put on your clothes and pants. Hurry!"

Chen was also startled by the cold. He opened his eyes and dreamed of his mother calling him to get up when he was a child.

Duan Xu came out of the bathroom and walked into the house, "Auntie Zhou, I'm here to call Guoguo, you go out and do your work."

They chatted until quite late yesterday, so it was normal that Chen was still sleepy.

Zhou Ying still had to pack up her teaching materials. She smiled kindly at Duan Xu and said, "Okay, Xiao Xu, tell him to pack up quickly."

After Zhou Ying went out, Chen Ye and Duan Xu looked at each other with half-closed eyes.

Looking away, Duan Xu opened the door of the closet, and there was a clear dividing line between the two.

The black and white clothes and pants hanging on the left belong to Duan Xu, and the colorful clothes with cartoon patterns on the right belong to Chen Ye.

"What would you like to wear today?"

Chen also yawned, "It's all right."

Duan Xu stood on tiptoe and took down a light yellow sweatshirt, then found a pair of blue jeans.

He placed the clothes in front of Chen Ye and said, "Put them on."

Chen nodded and took off his green dinosaur pajamas, then put on a hoodie and jeans.

After walking out of the bathroom, Chen also went into the bathroom to wash up. He stood on the bench and brushed his teeth carefully.

The toothbrush is in the shape of a whale and is placed together with Duan Xu's elephant-shaped toothbrush.

The orange-flavored children's toothpaste blossomed on Chen's taste buds. He spit out the foam in his mouth, wiped his mouth, and went out to eat.

While eating, Zhou Ying gave Chen Ye several glares, but the rice in Chen Ye's bowl did not move at all.

When he got up in the morning, he always felt like he couldn't eat anything.

"If you don't finish eating, you will be late. If you are late, Teacher Liu will make you stand in the corner as punishment." Li Lijun said.

Chen Ye sped up his eating speed. After eating half of it, Chen Ye wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "I'm full."

"You're full, what? How much did you eat? Huh? You always say that Sun Xiaoxiao in your class is taller than you. How can you be taller than him if you don't eat more?"

Chen also sighed secretly. It seemed that the gentle impression Zhou Ying gave him yesterday was just an illusion. Perhaps Zhou Ying was so gentle because he was sick yesterday. In fact, Zhou Ying was as irritable as his mother.

After taking two more bites, Chen Ye said, "I'm really full."

Zhou Ying didn't force him to eat. She took the schoolbag and asked Chen Ye to carry it. She turned to Li Lijun and said, "Drive slowly. Call me when you drop off the child."

Li Lijun held a few books in his hand and said, "No problem."

After going downstairs, Chen Ye and Duan Xu sat together in the back row. Li Lijun in the front row fastened his seat belt, took out two one-dollar bills from his wallet and handed them to Chen Ye and Duan Xu in the back row.

According to Zhou Ying's rules, Chen Ye can have one yuan of pocket money every day.

"One dollar per person, you can buy water and bread, but you are not allowed to buy junk food."

Chen Ye took the money and gave one to Duan Xu, "Don't worry."

Duan Xu stared at the money for two seconds and put it in his pocket.

The car quickly stopped in front of the school gate. After seeing Chen Ye and Duan Xu enter the school, Li Lijun turned the car around and left.

The school where he and Zhou Ying taught was not here, but because the teachers in this school were better than those in the school where they taught, they sent Chen Ye to study here.

Entering the school, Chen Ye asked Duan Xu: "Can you find the classroom?"
