MTL - Girlfriend Needs To Be Coaxed Every Day-Chapter 30

Back at Xiaobeimen, Lin Zheng helped Gu Nanzhi put his things in the trunk, and reluctantly said, "Teacher Gu, be careful on the road."

Gu Nanzhi was arranging the things in the trunk, but he didn't look up when he heard the words, "You come with me."

Together? Lin Zheng suspected that she was hallucinating, and the evidence was sufficient, "Mr. Gu, what did you say?"

Gu Nanzhi straightened his body, held a box of small cakes in one hand, and closed the tailgate of the car with the other, "I said, you come home with me."

"Huh?" The words sounded familiar, "Which home do you want to go back to?"

"Go back to my house." Gu Nanzhi stuffed the cake into Lin Zheng's arms, walked around her.

Lin Zheng hurriedly hugged her, and followed Gu Nanzhi to confirm repeatedly, "Your home?"

Gu Nanzhi opened the passenger door, put his arm on the door and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't sell you."

Lin Zheng wasn't worried about being sold, "But what are you going to do at your house?"

"Make dinner for you, do you really have to wait for you to learn how to make it for me in a few years? Then we both have to starve to death." Gu Nanzhi smiled in his cool eyes, looking into Lin Zheng's eyes , Joy suddenly overflowed from the eyes.

Lin Zheng was holding the cake box in both hands, and was at a loss for a while, "Will it disturb you?" She often went to other people's homes for dinner, and she had been to several people's homes, after all, they had childhood sweethearts Gu Nanzhi is just a teacher, at most... a teacher she likes, and has no obligation to take care of her until now.

Gu Nanzhi probably knew Lin Zheng's concerns, his smile became lighter, but his tone was softer and softer, "I invited you to help me solve the little trouble that I want to eat but can't finish it, I should be the one to thank you, How could you bother?"

"Really?" Lin Zheng let go of the doubts in his heart, and his expression suddenly brightened, "Mr. Gu, I can eat very much. Give me what you can't finish!"

Gu Nanzhi laughed, "I don't want to keep a small trash can by my side, get in the car quickly, and I'll have dinner until tomorrow."

"Yeah!" Lin Zheng hurried into the car.

Gu Nanzhi waited at the side, and after confirming that she was seated, he reminded, "Eat some cake first, dinner will take a while."

Lin Zheng raised her head and looked at her with bright eyes, "Okay!"

Gu Nanzhi rubbed the child's obedient hair, with a gentle smile infected by her optimism, "Seat belt."

—

Gu Nanzhi's house was really close to Lin Zheng's house, and the two arrived at the door in less than ten minutes.

Gu Nanzhi opened the door and turned sideways to let Lin Zheng go in.

Lin Zheng took off his shoes and walked in, looking cautiously at this not-so-spacious apartment—a simple pastoral style, with rattan, bamboo, pottery, and wood, without finely carved decorations, everything is naturally and properly stored and comfortable.

Lin Zheng took a deep breath with her eyes closed, and the scent of flowers lingered on the tip of her nose, which was very similar to the smell of Teacher Gu.

It seems that where there is Teacher Gu, even the air is gentle.

Gu Nanzhi came in a few steps later, took Lin Zheng to identify the place, and finally arranged her in the study room, and asked, "Do you like memorizing vocabulary or poetry?"

Lin Zheng didn't quite understand the meaning of Gu Nanzhi's words, so he thought for a while and said, "Words." Each one is not long, and if you memorize it quickly, you will feel more fulfilled in terms of quantity.

"Okay." Gu Nanzhi took a vocabulary book from the bookshelf behind him and put it in Lin Zheng's hand, then found a pen and paper and said to her, "Recite the vocabulary here obediently, and I will ask you to eat in half an hour."

"Ah?" Lin Zheng had a headache, pulled Gu Nanzhi's clothes, blinked his big eyes, and bargained softly with her, "Mr. Gu, can you not memorize it? Just be lazy this time."

"Once?" Gu Nanzhi put his hand on top of Lin Zheng's head, and forced her head to turn to the table, "Why do I feel that some young students will engage in side jobs outside of study?"

sideline? Lin Zheng was surprised, did Teacher Gu know that she was doing a live broadcast? No, Mr. Gu is so busy, why would he watch those unnutritious live broadcasts, yes, no!

Lin Zheng lay on the table with her hands stretched forward, her forehead pressed against the table and hummed, "There is nothing to love in life."

Gu Nanzhi knew that Lin Zheng did it on purpose, so she didn't want to eat this set at all. She took a pen casually, put it on Lin Zheng's ponytail, twirled it around, and then looked away. A cute ball appeared on Lin Zheng's tail the back of the head.

"Don't scratch your head, don't act like a baby, and memorize your vocabulary carefully." Gu Nanzhi explained carefully.

Lin Zheng sat up and touched the fur ball on the tip of the pen, grinning, "Okay."

After Lin Zheng was settled, Gu Nanzhi hurriedly went out to cook. It was already past nine o'clock, and it was almost tomorrow before the meal was eaten.

Lin Zheng stayed in the study alone, holding a vocabulary book in his hand, leaning against the door panel to listen to the movement outside.

Well, I can't hear anything. The sound insulation of Teacher Gu's house is really good, but she really wants to watch Teacher Gu cook.

A good-looking person should be eye-catching even if he wears an apron.

"Explode, explode." Lin Zheng recited the words, and suddenly sighed, "If I knew it, I would say that I like to recite poems, and I said that I like English in front of my Chinese teacher. What kind of pig brain can say such a thing."

Lin Zheng was so stupid that she couldn't memorize the words just by reading them. She walked back and sat down depressed, planning to copy and memorize them.

The paper that Gu Nanzhi gave Lin Zheng was clean printing paper. Lin Zheng touched it and put it down, squatting next to the trash can to find a few pieces of waste paper as drafts.

The draft is full of words, and the content looks like reading notes.

Lin Zheng read a few sentences, but didn't quite understand, and her mind was soon occupied by the beautiful handwriting on the paper.

Gu Nanzhi's handwriting has been well practiced, and he is accustomed to using Xingkai when writing official materials. It is elegant and rigorous, and it is correct and chic. Lin Zheng likes it very much.

She laid out the paper on the table, picked up the pen, and traced them little by little, and also followed the traces of Gu Nanzhi's pen.

"Knock, knock!" Soon, there was a knock on the door outside the study.

Lin Zheng hurriedly folded the paper and stuffed it into his pocket, and shouted outside, "Here!"

Gu Nanzhi pushed open the door, leaned against the door frame and said, "Wash your hands and eat."

Lin Zheng nodded exaggeratedly, then hurriedly arranged the things on the table and ran out.

Passing the door, Gu Nanzhi saw the corner of the paper protruding from Lin Zheng's pocket, and asked casually, "What good things are hidden in the pocket?"

"It's nothing!" Lin Zheng denied it flatly, covering his pockets with both hands, grinning and rubbing against the door panel.

Looking at Lin Zheng's furtive expression, Gu Nanzhi concluded that her actions were unreasonable.

However, most girls' minds are pure and sensitive, so it's okay to give them enough space to enjoy the fun brought by those innocent little secrets.

When Lin Zheng went out, Gu Nanzhi turned off the light in the study and followed her to the dining room.

Dinner is already on the table, three dishes and one soup, two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and a plate of after-dinner fruit.

Lin Zheng and Gu Nanzhi sat facing each other, restrained, casual, and quietly eating each other made the food lose their original taste, leaving only the choking and astringency that could not be swallowed cleanly.

Gu Nanzhi's craftsmanship is not outstanding, but the ordinary taste can catch people's hearts the most.

That is the taste of home, and it is also the taste that Lin Zheng has not tasted for a long time.

"Mr. Gu, thank you." Lin Zheng lowered his head to eat, and Gu Nanzhi could see the corner of her mouth raised, but could not see her gloomy eyes.

There is an unknown secret hidden in every teenager’s heart. Lin Zheng’s is very simple—back to the second year of junior high school, one family, two generations, three meals, four seasons of spring, she wants to go home every day like today Some people urged her to do her homework, some prepared dinner for her, some laughed and scolded her for being disobedient, and some felt sorry for her studying hard.

This is what a home should look like, and Lin Zheng even dreamed of getting it back.

Gu Nanzhi smiled, added a piece of ribs and put it into Lin Zheng's bowl, "If you really want to thank me, I will eat two more bites. You are counting rice grains one by one with chopsticks. I thought it was hard to eat something made by myself." pharynx."

Lin Zheng shook her head hastily, and stuffed a big mouthful of rice into her mouth.

After a few simple chews, Lin Zheng swallowed the rice abruptly, raised his head and said, "It's super delicious! I was so delicious that I cried!" Lin Zheng said with tears in his eyes.

Gu Nanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and quickly smiled and took out a piece of paper and pasted it on her eyes, "I almost believed what I said."

Lin Zheng covered her eyes through the paper, tilted her head back, and let the tears soak into the paper unscrupulously, "It's really delicious!"

Gu Nanzhi leaned against the back of the chair, without a smile on his face, "I believe you, eat quickly after expressing your feelings."

"Hmm!" Lin Zheng wiped away tears, crumpled the paper and put it in his hand, grabbed the chopsticks and stuffed something into his mouth.

Gu Nanzhi didn't move his chopsticks anymore. Most of the cooks smelled of oily smoke, and she was no exception. Then there was Lin Zheng's reaction. The child obviously didn't cry because of the delicious food, but she still pretended to be smiling.

Gu Nanzhi had never experienced the pain in Lin Zheng's heart, and she didn't understand what it was like, but just as a bystander, she still felt that this scene made people feel distressed.

Gu Nanzhi pushed the juice that had been warming in the palm of his hand to Lin Zheng, and reminded her: "Drink the juice, don't eat."

Lin Zheng picked up the cup with a smile and drank most of it in one go.

The coolness of the juice was very light, and the taste was sour and sweet, and it forcibly washed down the mouthful of rice that was stuck in Lin Zheng's heart.

It hurts so much that the words that Lin Zheng kept in his heart ran out one after another.

"Ms. Gu, I haven't eaten such a delicious meal for a long time." Lin Zheng pursed his lips, and the eyes that looked at Gu Nanzhi had a burden beyond his age. When I go home, I’m the only one in the family. They give me money, a lot of money, but I don’t like to eat outside. I’d rather be hungry than go out all the time, because the boss will remember me if I eat too many times. I don't like the feeling of being recognized by them at a glance, or even called out by name, and I don't like the feeling that they always say behind their backs, "Look, that kid is here again, what are his parents doing, why are they always away?" ’, and then, I accidentally starved myself into the school infirmary.”

Lin Zheng was always smiling, and the brighter the smile, the more sad it was that others couldn't understand, "Mr. Gu, did you tell my mother about my fainting?"

Gu Nanzhi didn't know how to answer the sudden question. She had an illusion that her own admission would become an "accomplice" to some people, and together with them touched Lin Zheng's sensitive heart, but she was clearly Lin Zheng's teacher. Should be on her side.

Gu Nanzhi's silence failed to break Lin Zheng's smile. She took a big sip of juice from the cup, then lowered her head and said with a smile: "After you finished speaking, my mother booked a small dining table for me downstairs that day. I heard that the food is pretty good and tastes like home, but I didn’t eat it.”

"Why don't you go?" Gu Nanzhi asked, the words came out of his mouth, Lin Zheng's fainting was still vivid in his memory, now that there was a place to eat, Gu Nanzhi naturally wanted her to go.

Lin Zheng raised his head and looked at Gu Nanzhi with dark eyes, "That's not home, why should I look for the taste of home in someone else's place?"

A perfectly normal rhetorical question left Gu Nanzhi speechless.

Lin Zheng's rhetorical question is not wrong. Those who spend this kind of money are not gods at all, but noble "begging".

Gu Nanzhi stood up, walked around the table, bent his legs and leaned on Lin Zheng's side and asked her, "Do you want me to comfort you, or do you want to hear the truth?"

Gu Nanzhi spoke in a calm tone. She is not a sentimental person, and she can't empathize with her, so why should she put on a pose.

In Lin Zheng's story, no matter how clearly she sees, no matter how close she is, she is just a bystander. She is destined to only listen to her narration as a bystander, and at most give advice, and cannot be influenced.

Lin Zheng frowned, and asked back, "Listen to the truth?" If words of comfort were helpful, she would probably have annoyed herself long ago.

Gu Nanzhi laughed, "It's the same as I thought."

Gu Nanzhi turned sideways, pinched a piece of cantaloupe and handed it to Lin Zheng's mouth.

She didn't speak, and Lin Zheng didn't resist, she obediently opened her mouth and bit it.

Seeing this, a smile appeared in Gu Nanzhi's faint eyes.

It’s good if you are willing to eat. If the child is uncomfortable, it is easy to coax. If you give it food and drink, she will laugh at you.

Now that Lin Zheng is still willing to eat, there is still room for coaxing.

"Lin Zheng, we are all ordinary people. We may be insufficient in comparison, but it is appropriate to say more than enough in comparison to the inferior." Gu Nanzhi's lazy voice was full of tenderness, "There has never been anything perfect in this world."

"I know." I know it all the time, so I never extravagantly ask for it, and only hope that I can get what I want occasionally.

Gu Nanzhi pulled the water tray to Lin Zheng, and gave her a fork, "When you go out, you will hopefully find a way forward, and when you turn around, you will have a place to go back. When you are troubled, you will have friends, and when you are in trouble, you will have a teacher. Lin Zheng, besides seeking Worry, your life is actually good."

Lin Zheng didn't know what to say, and grunted in a low voice, poking at the cantaloupe with a fork.

Gu Nanzhi couldn't laugh or cry at her childish behavior, and he flicked the back of her hand with his fingers.

"Hiss!" Lin Zheng felt the pain, and put down the fork to rub the back of his hand.

Gu Nanzhi picked up a fork casually, forked a piece of cantaloupe and fed it to Lin Zheng's mouth, and then continued to preach, "Of course, the teacher said that it is very disrespectful for your feelings to ask for trouble. That is your home, and the home is all you love. Those who have lost their family affection for no reason, nothing is more sad than you, these teachers understand, but the teacher still has something to say."

"What words?" Lin Zheng looked at Gu Nanzhi and had difficulty pronouncing it.

The current teacher Gu is like a feeding machine without emotion, her mouth is almost full of cantaloupe.

Gu Nanzhi realized that he was feeding too frequently, put down the fork and said, "The difficulty is not that you worry about it today, it won't come again tomorrow."

"Then what should I do?" Lin Zheng said sullenly. After a short silence, she began to laugh again. The corners of her mouth could no longer be raised when she smiled. She took out the phone from her pocket, tapped the screen a few times, Show Gu Nanzhi a photo in the private album, "Mr. Gu, I can't face this difficulty."

Gu Nanzhi took the phone, and his heartbeat sank when he saw the content in the photo.

The photo is only half of the content, Gu Nanzhi can't see the densely packed text, all senses are occupied by the bright red seal below - confirming that there is no blood relationship.

"Lin Zheng..." Gu Nanzhi didn't know how to comfort Lin Zheng. She poked a large piece of cantaloupe with a fork and bit her mouth. When she heard her calling her, she raised her head, her eyes were bright, and the sadness just now was gone. What kind of self-healing ability is this that doesn't even take time.

Lin Zheng blinked slowly, and stuffed the remaining half of the cantaloupe into her mouth.

The child's cheeks were bulging, and his speech was vague, "This is the result of the paternity test between me and my father. It turns out that I am not his child, and my mother is his wife, but I am not his child, Mr. Gu, Why do you say this is?"

Gu Nanzhi didn't know how to answer, the answer seemed ready to come out, before she could confirm it, she heard Lin Zheng speak again, her voice was very delicate, and she was vaguely shy, "Mom and Dad were married in a flash, and they lived very poorly at first. Even buying new clothes is a waste of money throughout the year, but even so, my mother never thought of giving up. She loves her father very much, the kind of love that can be seen in adversity, very deep. One birthday, my father asked my mother what gift she wanted, She said it was very big, Mr. Gu, do you know what the gift is?"

Gu Nanzhi shook her head silently, there were thousands of words of comfort on her lips, and she couldn't open her mouth when she saw Lin Zheng's bright eyes.

The child is praising her parents' love with all her heart, but she can only see the heartache behind this praise.

"Mom said she wanted Dad's next life." Lin Zheng smiled brightly, as if she had a share of that happiness, but in a blink of an eye, she was excluded again, "Mr. Gu, I'm sure Mom loves Dad and won't be sorry About her, then, where did I come from?"

Gu Nanzhi couldn't answer. When she saw this result, the first reaction in her mind was that Feng Haian had cheated in marriage, but when Lin Zheng finished speaking, she was at a loss. There was no possibility of cheating. Lin Zheng and Lin Jie's parents and children Why is the identification result like this?

"Mr. Gu, I have read many books, and the books always say that love makes people clumsy, and I think my parents are the same." Lin Zheng's deep voice contained a little bit of resentment, "They are all famous schools. The graduates are very smart people, but when love suffers setbacks, they choose to escape, maybe they are exchanging not seeing each other for a change of time, I don’t know if this will work, before, I thought it would be okay, now ...It's been too long, and I'm sure they won't be reunited, so why bother to drag on to make each other uncomfortable, and I'm at a loss for what to do."

"Maybe they were also reluctant, so they broke up like this." Gu Nanzhi said, the reason was so far-fetched, Lin Zheng believed it, she scratched her hair, and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Gu, do you think I am very innocent?" Use it? You know everything, but you don’t do anything.”

The child's doubts are so thick that it makes people feel distressed. Behind the doubts is not escape. Her parents want to use escape to exchange for a chance to clear the sky. She wants to exchange escape for a deserted but complete home.

Her evasion was so humble that Gu Nanzhi couldn't breathe.

Gu Nanzhi pressed the phone off, and put it on the table behind her, "Yeah." She said, with a smile on her lips, and said Lin Zheng's 'useless' all the same, "No noise, no fight, no fight, even Sad and sad, we can only pretend to be serious, our classmate Lin Zheng really can't do anything, but there is one thing, she can do it better than anyone else."

Lin Zheng was puzzled, and asked her softly, "What?"

The corners of Gu Nanzhi's mouth rose, and the smile in his eyes deepened, "I met a good teacher."

Lin Zheng was stunned for a moment, and a smile quickly crept into her brows, "Yes!" Teacher Gu is very nice, so nice that she is willing to tell her all the things on her mind.

Gu Nanzhi stared at Lin Zheng's unusually bright eyes after falling into the light, and his voice softened a bit, "Lin Zheng, remember to look forward if you feel sad in the future?"

"Forward?" What's ahead?

Gu Nanzhi leaned over, approached Lin Zheng, and filled her clean pupils with a smile, "Did you see it?" she asked.

Lin Zheng shook his head stupidly.

Gu Nanzhi touched the child's head and said softly, "I'm in front."

Lin Zheng suddenly realized. In an instant, she seemed to walk from the misty forest to the sea of ​​flowers on the other side. What she saw was the warm sun she longed for, and when she looked back, she was the person with the sharpest heart.

Gu Nanzhi, how can this person be so good?

Gu Nanzhi stretched out his hand, pulled out the pen stuck in Lin Zheng's hair, and said to her, "Stretch out your hand."

Without any hesitation, Lin Zheng stretched out her hand obediently.

Teacher Gu is going to coax her with candy again. I don't know what it tastes like this time? It doesn't matter if the process is sour, as long as it is sweet in the end. Lin Zheng thought to himself.

Unfortunately, this time Gu Nanzhi didn't have any sugar in her pocket. She pinched Lin Zheng's fingertips and brought it in front of her. She opened the cap of the pen with one hand, leaned over, and wrote a series of numbers in Lin Zheng's palm intently.

"Do you know what this is?" Gu Nanzhi asked.

Lin Zheng nodded, "Teacher Gu's phone number." She remembered it after seeing it once.

"Well, do you know what I mean by writing it in your palm?"

Lin Zheng looked at the numbers on his palm and thought carefully.

After a while, he shook his head, "I don't know."

Gu Nanzhi supported Lin Zheng's wrist, with his palm against the back of her hand, letting her fist make a fist with her own movements, and then spread it out, "Look, when you make a fist, it's in your palm, spread your hand , it is in front of you, within reach. So, are you still afraid?"

Teacher Gu is by your side, within your reach, so what is there to be afraid of?

Lin Zheng raised his head, his firm eyes sparkled, "Don't be afraid!"

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

weekend in a few years.

Lin Zheng went home from playing, dangling in front of Gu Nanzhi who was busy at work.

Tired of shaking, Gu Nanzhi stopped working and asked Lin Zheng, who had been laughing non-stop since he came in, "What happy event happened today?"

Lin Zheng ran over, spread his hands in front of Gu Nanzhi, turned over and said, "I'm going to do hand protection."

Gu Nanzhi raised his eyebrows, "And then?"

Lin Zheng blinked and lowered her voice, "Doesn't Teacher Gu like my hands the most? Try it at night? I won't write this time."
