Chapter 20: Earning Money (2/2)

In fact, his dad didn't know that he came to work in an Internet cafe.

He doesn't know.

In April, the weather in the northern part of town was still cold. Except for a few buds from the willow trees by the lake, the surrounding area was still covered with snow.

Xia Ye rode his bike all the way to the school against the wind, dropped the bike and ran into the teaching building, almost hitting the class teacher when he almost entered the classroom by the time the bell rang. Both of them stood at the door, and Xia Ye shouted: ”Report!”

The head teacher stood at the door and looked at him, ”What did you do, why were you almost late?”

Xia Ye face didn’t change and said, ”Uncle Tang helped me correct the wrong question at home.”

The head teacher immediately nodded in kindness and said: ”It's the right thing to work so hard, go back to your seat, try to be as early as possible next time, don't make Mr. Tang tired, you know?”

”Yes!”

Tongzilou, Tang Family.

Tang Jinyu is playing the piano at home. He can play a complete nursery rhyme now, and his posture is quite standardized. Teacher Xia, who was next to him when he played the last note, immediately stood up and applauded him, seemingly more happier than him.

Teacher Xia said: ”Xiaoyu performed very well today. We can end class early today.. How about teacher takes you out to play basketball?”

The kid sitting on the piano stool, with his feet hanging in the air, tilted his head and thought for a while and said, ”I don't want to play.”

Teacher Xia asked: ”So what does Xiaoyu want to do?”

Tang Jinyu: ”I want to go to my teacher's house to learn to play the harmonica~”

Teacher Xia was particularly moved. He felt that the child was so hardworking and serious. He used to hug the child down the piano bench and originally planned to put him on the sofa, but the child subconsciously hugged his neck with his hands and looked over with his big eyes.

Teacher Xia was reluctant to put him down immediately, and carried him next door, smiling while walking: ”We can't study all the time, can we? Do you want Teacher to take you to play and then read you a story?”

Tang Jinyu shook his head: ”I want to learn the harmonica.”

”You like the harmonica that much?”

”Brother said…”

”Say you played well, right?”

”It's ugly.”

”…”

”Don't listen to him talking nonsense, Xiaoyu can play a lot better than him. He didn't play in the elementary school preliminaries. He just doesn’t know how to appreciate it. This person has no sense of music!”

But anyway, Teacher Xia was not as good as Xia Ye's way of doing things. Tang Jinyu decided to study hard and played the harmonica all afternoon.

In the evening, Xia Ye went home from school. Before entering the door, he heard several clear harmonica sounds at home.

Tang Jinyu was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He was very happy to see Xia Ye coming in. He dropped the harmonica and ran over, ”Brother!”

Xia Ye leg was held on by him. Before he could speak, he saw the child sniffed twice like a puppy with his wrinkled nose.

Xia Ye calmly grabbed the back of his collar, and lifted the child up and put him on the sofa.

Tang Jinyu didn't understand what that meant, so he climbed down from the sofa and wanted to go over it. This time Xia Ye took a few steps backwards, as if he was avoiding him.

His ”dislike” was so obvious that Teacher Xia couldn't stand it anymore, ”Hold him!”

Xia Ye paused, and said vaguely: ”Next time, I was sweating and dirty from playing basketball.”

He took a change of clothes and took a shower, and walked away quickly.

Teacher Xia felt sorry for Tang Jinyu, and he personally hugged him and sent him next door. When the child asked if he could come and eat an orange at night, Teacher Xia repeatedly agreed.

Xia Ye took a bath, changed clothes, and came out. The food at home was also ready. He glanced at the living room, and the little figure on the sofa was gone.

Teacher Xia brought the food and couldn't help laughing at him: ”It's late, Xiaoyu went back.”

Xia Ye went to help. Teacher Xia was still talking about him. Xia Ye whispered: ”I don't dislike him, Xiaoyu is very funny, but he’s too soft, I don’t want to hurt him.”

Teacher Xia laughed and shook his head and said, ”Nonsense, where can you hurt him. You were the same size as him when you were young, and slowly grew so tall.”

Probably because Xia Ye refused to hug the child. For the next few days, the child was so behaved and didn't take the initiative to jump over and hug his legs.

On the contrary, Xia Ye felt a little uncomfortable. He lacked a leg pendant. It seemed that the relationship between the two was not so close. When he didn’t smell like smoke, he would pick up and tease the child, but the child honestly stayed in his arms. If it weren't for the sweet smile, he would think that the child was unfamiliar with him.

Xia Ye felt like he owed him and wanted to do something for him.
