When he was brought to Li Rucan by his parents who were about to go abroad, Zhao Lijie's first reaction was - did this person owe his parents a naked loan? Why else would he agree to take care of him?

Today's children are exposed to a lot of things. Although Zhao Lijie is only in the first year of junior high school, he has already been exposed to a lot of things on Guanglu's bizarre Internet. He can't help but think about it, but when he thinks that his parents are serious university professors, Li Rucan He is also his father's student, a genius who graduated from college at the age of twenty. His father talks about him every day as someone who wants to learn from him, so he gave up this boring fantasy.

He clumsily carried a lot of luggage
and was pulled to Li Rucan by his parents. The other things had already been moved into Li Rucan's room by them. Because Zhao Lijie attended the junior high school where he usually stayed, so although he had heard about Li Rucan for a long time, he even learned how to do it. After writing these two complicated Chinese characters, this was the first time he saw Li Rucan in person. He wore silver-rimmed glasses, a simple white sweater, and short black hair.

He had the simplest appearance, a pair of narrow foxes. His eyes made him look a little evil, but this evil spirit was offset by the eyes that were listening intently to his father's words. He looked like a good student, but Zhao Lijie's sixth sense told him that Li Rucan was not a good person get along.

Although he was almost ten years older than him, Zhao Lijie was actually a little taller than Li Rucan. In order to make himself look less tall, the polite Zhao Lijie lowered his head slightly to look at him levelly. His parents talked a lot in front of him. He would have to trouble Li Rucan a lot in the future. He didn't listen to a word of Zhao Lijie's words to be obedient. He only remembered a hint of impatience in the man's eyebrows. In response to his parents' words, the corners of his mouth didn't even raise slightly. One can't wait to shudder.

His parents' flight is tomorrow and there is no way to stay for a long time. His father seems to be very relieved about Li Rucan. As a professor of paleontology, Li Rucan is the first doctor he has received. Although he plans to drop out of school in the end, seeing his father's appearance, He didn't seem to blame him. He grabbed Zhao Lijie and kept talking for a long time. Zhao Lijie only remembered the sentence "Elder brother is like father".

Do you want to call the person in front of you daddy in the future? Zhao Lijie couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

"Come with me." Li Rucan said the first words to Zhao Lijie after his parents got in the car. After that, he walked straight forward without any intention of taking care of the underage children and helping Zhao Lijie drag two huge suitcases.
Zhao Lijie dragged two suitcases bitterly to follow Li Rucan, feeling very worried this man looked so fierce, would he throw him out of the house while his parents were away?

Fortunately, it didn't happen. On the contrary, Li Rucan brought Zhao Lijie to a sports car. Zhao Lijie's eyes, which were originally depressed, suddenly lit up - boys all like cars, and Li Rucan's car is quite cool. A cool convertible red sports car, although it doesn't look like a match for Li Rucan.

"If I had known you still had luggage, I wouldn't have driven." This was the second sentence Li Rucan said to him. He and Zhao Lijie worked together for a long time to stuff the luggage under Zhao Lijie's feet, and then Zhao Lijie almost sat cross- legged. On top of a pile of luggage, he faced the cold wind all the way to Li Rucan's house. This made his original desire to ride in a cool sports car disappear, and he just wished he could get to Li Rucan's house as soon as possible.

Li Rucan's home is located in the bustling city center. It has four bedrooms, one living room and two bathrooms on a large flat floor. Before Zhao Lijie stepped in, he was afraid of staining the shiny floor. When he followed Li Rucan to his room, he was still thinking about it. When did paleontology become so rich? Is it possible that his father is also a hidden rich man?

No, not at all. Zhao Lijie knew that his father was forced to go abroad because the school wanted to ban this unpopular major in paleontology. He had to go abroad through irregular channels, so there was no way to take him away. It was good to just make a living, let alone buy it. I bought such a high-end house.

Looking at Li Rucan, who changed into slippers as soon as he got home and looked more lazy and world-weary, Zhao Lijie felt that he was a little more mysterious.

"This is your room," Li Rucan leaned against the door and watched Zhao Lijie drag his luggage in. "The room on your left is the study room. You can do your homework there. You cannot enter the other two rooms without my permission."

He was like an emotionless robot. He divided the house into two parts fairly and completely. Two rooms and a bathroom belonged to Zhao Lijie, and the other places belonged to him. However, given that Zhao Lijie had already done what Li Rucan had done, very "terrible" preparation, so this division made him relieved. He responded obediently, and now he became Li Rucan in embarrassment.

He looked at the child in front of him, not knowing what to say, and he jumped out after a while One sentence: Go to bed early."

Zhao Lijie saw the still bright sky outside, and looked at each other with Li Rucan, then watched Li Rucan turn around and walk out of the room expressionlessly, closing the door for him.

Zhao Lijie suddenly felt sore in his eyes when he was really left alone - now he was really alone. Although he felt that he was a real man and could not cry casually, but he was homesick. The emotion and fear about the future still made the little man's eyes red. He rolled on the soft and comfortable big bed, huddled up, and buried his face in the pillow.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a knock on the door. Zhao Lijie woke up from his sleep and hurriedly went down to open the door, only to find that the door was not locked at all. Li Rucan was standing outside the door, wearing a ridiculous sunflower apron. The cartoon flowers with smiling faces on them looked completely out of place with the cold expression in front of them: "Eat."

Zhao Lijie responded vaguely and followed Li Rucan out.

There were three dishes and one soup on the dining table. Zhao Lijie glanced at it and knew that it would not taste bad - because the label of the semi-finished cooking package was still on the tin foil box containing the dishes, and the only soup was in an enamel bowl. Zhao Lijie I just took a simple sip and tasted the soup packet.

Well, it's a perfect meal, although the MSG may be a little too high. Zhao Lijie's family is in Hubei, and it's heavy on oil and spicy, but these dishes are a little too bland for him. He can eat them, but. Not really like it

Li Rucan sat down opposite him, picked up the bowl and started eating. As he was eating, he suddenly put down his chopsticks and said to Zhao Lijie, "Do you have a mobile phone?"

Zhao Lijie was stunned. His parents were very strict with him. He only had a little genius phone watch, which could only be regarded as half a mobile phone. He shook his head.

"I'll buy you a mobile phone, and then the money will be put on your card, and you can buy your own food," Li Rucan said confidently to the kid in the first grade of junior high school in front of him, "I don't know how to cook."

When Zhao Lijie swallowed his last mouthful of instant soup, he didn't know that it was the first and last meal he had ever eaten cooked by Li Rucan.

The next morning without incident, when Zhao Lijie got up, he found a McDonald's takeout on the table and an uneaten wrapping paper in the trash can. He knew it was reserved for himself. Li Rucan was nowhere to be seen, and the two The door that belonged to him was closed tightly, and there was no chance for Zhao Lijie to peek. Zhao Lijie returned to his room after dinner. He packed up his things and did some homework. It was already noon., the door was knocked again.

This time Zhao Lijie finally understood that Li Rucan was not knocking on the door because it was locked, but a kind of upbringing. This was the first time that Zhao Lijie, who grew up in a Chinese-style parental environment, felt this kind of respect. He quickly opened the door and was flattered. Li Rucan leaned against the door, his eyes half-open and half-closed, and his eyelashes cast heavy shadows in the direction of the sun.

"Let's go, I'll take you to buy a mobile phone."

Li Rucan changed into a black sweatshirt today, which made his already fair skin among men look even paler. His whole body felt like it was about to become transparent under the sun. His laziness was even heavier. This time, even his eyes seemed Not even bothering to open his eyes, Zhao Lijie responded obediently, and then said, "Can I go change my clothes?"

He was still wearing a giraffe cartoon pajamas that his mother bought for him, with a half-long but not short tail on the back.

Li Rucan seemed to be willing to open his eyes and look at Zhao Lijie. After seeing Zhao Lijie's funny cartoon pajamas and the long tail trailing behind, he finally couldn't help but smile. The moment he raised the corners of his mouth, his whole body seemed to be filled with laughter. It came alive, and Zhao Lijie was almost stunned.

It is difficult for children to have a clear concept of beauty and ugliness, but for the first time, Zhao Lijie understood what the teacher said in class.

"Go quickly." Li Rucan said.

Zhao Lijie quickly changed his clothes and followed Li Rucan. Li Rucan drove the red sports car and took him to eat Haidilao, and then bought Zhao Lijie the latest iPhone without blinking an eye. The moment Li Rucan swiped his card, Zhao Lijie's heart almost jumped out of his chest. Li Rucan became extremely charming in his heart. Although his expression was light and even a little cold from beginning to end, Zhao Lijie discovered that he was not only interested in him This may just be a matter of personality.

Li Rucan threw the phone to him and watched quietly as Zhao Lijie fiddled with it for a while to log in to WeChat. Then he suddenly said: "Add my WeChat account."

Zhao Lijie approved Li Rucan's WeChat request and discovered that his avatar was actually a little fox holding a rabbit. The whole avatar was cartoon-like and looked nothing like Li Rucan.

So what should Li Rucan be like?

Zhao Lijie didn't know either, but he had something vague in his heart. When he went back to school, he suddenly became interested in the composition class that he usually hated most, because he wanted to find some words to describe Li Rucan.

Later, his composition was marked by the teacher as the most improved composition, and there was a sentence in it that said this.

--"He is like raindrops falling on the face in winter, with a slight coldness."

This is Li Rucan in the eyes of thirteen- year-old Zhao Lijie.

Zhao Lijie and Li Rucan lived peacefully like this. Zhao Lijie lived on campus in junior high school and only went home on weekends. It was also difficult for him to find Li Rucan on weekends, except for the occasional two mysterious doors that he was not allowed to enter. The slight noise from inside the door made Zhao Lijie realize that Li Rucan was not at home, and they hardly appeared in the same space.

Li Rucan called Zhao Lijie a large amount of money. Zhao Lijie learned from the video call with his parents that this was more than the living expenses they gave Li Rucan. He mustered up the courage to mention this matter to Li Rucan - only in On WeChat, Li Rucan took a long time to reply to him.

"Take the flowers."

After a while he replied again.

"If it's not enough, ask me for more."

Zhao Lijie's curiosity led him to ask his

father why Li Rucan was so rich and whether he was the second generation of rich people. However, his father only said that Li Rucan's family was just an ordinary family. There was an older brother and an older sister, and his parents lived with his older sister. It can't be said that he is very rich, but Zhao Lijie described how expensive Li Rucan's car, house and daily necessities were. Their parents only thought that the child was exaggerating. As long as Zhao Lijie was not abused, it would be fine.

Zhao Lijie didn't know what kind of job Li Rucan did. It was like a room that he didn't allow Zhao Lijie to enter. A dark door closed Zhao Lijie's curiosity. However, when Zhao Lijie occasionally got up late at night to go to the toilet, he could see something inside the door. Light shines through.

It was already three or four o'clock in the morning, and Li Rucan was still awake.

At the end of the semester, the teacher said that a parents' meeting would be held. Zhao Lijie's grades had always been pretty good. The head teacher and math teacher pulled him over with a smile: "Ask your parents to come and receive the award."

Zhao Lijie looked at his information and saw that the name of the guardian had changed to Li Rucan, and he felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to talk to Li Rucan about this, so he could only manage: "Teacher, I...the parents are a little busy, so I should come." No."

He didn't know who Li Rucan was to him.

"What about your mother?"

My mother is far away abroad, but Zhao Lijie has been told by his parents not to talk about this matter. He can only think about Li Rucan, and Li Rucan may not even have a female mosquito around him, let alone any "female".

"...I'd better ask my...Dad."

Saying this word was not as difficult as imagined. It may also be because Li Rucan was not with him. Zhao Lijie returned to the dormitory and secretly took his mobile phone and sent a message to Li Rucan: "We have a parent-teacher meeting on Friday afternoon. You can come and help me attend." Just for a moment."

When the message was sent, Zhao Lijie was already prepared to be rejected, but he didn't expect Li Rucan's reply to come quickly this time: "What time?"

"Five o'clock."

"Send me the address."
