People are in high spirits when they have something good to do. Tomorrow is Saturday, so there's no need to get up early. All the students in the class are full of energy, and the teacher's voice is much louder than usual.
In the back area of the classroom, some students were sleeping, while others were engrossed in playing games on their phones.
Fu Shaosi rested his chin on his hand and stared at Qi Shen, his tone casual, "You've become more and more mysterious these past few days." After speaking, he habitually touched his hair, only to find nothing.
"......"
This is fucking infuriating!
Fu Shaosi grinned, took a deep breath, and told himself: Forget it, he's his own brother, he'll just have to bear it, it'll pass.
"My dad just bought a new horse farm, shall we go for a ride this week?"
Qi Shen glanced lazily at Fu Shaosi and uttered two words succinctly, "I'm not going."
His schedule is already full this week.
Fang Zhi's English foundation was too poor, so he had to take advantage of his days off to watch her memorize words and correct her pronunciation.
"What are you up to behind my back?" Fu Shaosi grumbled, clearly annoyed. "You haven't waited for me after school these past few days, and now you won't even come when I ask you to go out and have fun during the holidays?"
Qi Shen did not intend to hide it from him.
Among his childhood friends, Fu Shaosi always seemed easygoing and cheerful.
But when he gets serious, he's the most difficult one to deal with.
Like his father, he was ruthless and wolfish, with keen insight and sharp shrewdness.
Because they have a good relationship, he always presents a friendly and easygoing image.
"Something's up." Qi Shen stared at the pen in his hand, his voice indifferent. "I need to keep an eye on the younger generation in the family doing their homework."
Fu Shaosi was stunned. "You can tell corny jokes?"
How could such a beast in human form have the heart to offer guidance to the younger generation in his family?
Qi Shen said he tutored his own brother, but he didn't believe it, let alone that his brother had gone abroad with their mother.
Who would believe that Qi Shen is helpful and cares for younger generations? He'd laugh at them for ages.
Just as Fu Shaosi was about to retort, he noticed that Qi Shen's expression seemed genuine.
"You're serious!" He stroked his chin, genuinely surprised. "Which of your cousins is so influential?"
Are you out of your mind? You dare to let Qi Shen tutor you?
Qi Shen lowered his eyes and smiled.
His cousins didn't have that kind of face, but Fang Zhi was different; she belonged to him alone, so naturally he had to care.
Seeing that his brother was unwilling to say more, Fu Shaosi pursed his lips and didn't ask any more questions. Qi Shen was like a clam spirit, very tight-lipped.
You can't get anything out of him if he doesn't want to talk.
......
In Class 3 of Grade 1, the excitement of the group of little ones was even more evident, as they talked about what they would do on their day off.
"My mom promised to take me to the amusement park tomorrow."
"I want to have piano lessons and ballet lessons."
Liu Siyi turned her head to look at her deskmate who was correcting her mistakes. The girl had a fair and clean face and a serene expression, as if she were protected by a natural barrier, completely unaffected by the surrounding discussions.
Desperate to be friends with Fang Zhi, Liu Siyi took the initiative to ask, "Fang Zhi, what are you planning to do tomorrow?"
"Huh?" The girl who was called looked up, met her deskmate's gaze, and said softly, "I'm taking English tutoring at home."
"Is he a tutor?"
"No." Fang Zhi shook her head, then smiled slightly as she thought of her brother. "It was my brother who tutored me."
"Your brother is so good to you." Liu Siyi clicked her tongue. Thinking of her brother, she complained, "Unlike my brother, who only knows how to trick me out of pocket money and make me take the blame for him and get scolded by our parents."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhi immediately thought of the relationship between her and her sister Fang Zhen, and couldn't help but worry about her deskmate's situation.
Her delicate eyebrows furrowed. "Are you very sad?"
"Don't worry." Liu Siyi laughed heartily. "Although my brother can't compare to your brother, I'm still his sister."
“He can be very protective of me sometimes. If someone else bullies me, he'll be the first to object.”
Fang Zhi smiled shyly, "That's good."
Her brother wasn't her biological brother, but according to Liu, he treated her even better than a biological brother.
"Fang Zhi," Liu Siyi suddenly leaned closer to Fang Zhi with a serious expression, "Do you have any hobbies or interests?"
Fang Zhi was startled when her deskmate suddenly zoomed in with his face, causing her to blush involuntarily. "I don't know."
Liu Siyi gestured with her hands, "It's something like singing, dancing, and playing musical instruments."
Fang Zhi's raven-feather-like eyelashes fluttered gently. Thinking of her younger sister watching TV, with women dancing gracefully on the screen, her cherry lips moved and two words escaped her lips: "Dance."
She remembered the lightness and grace of the dance; the dancers were so immersed in it that they seemed to have cast aside all the troubles of the world.
At that moment, she was extremely envious.
“Then you can tell your parents,” Liu Siyi said, cupping her face in her hands. “Tell them you want to learn dance.”
Fang Zhi's eyes flickered, as if he was somewhat troubled.
She's already troubled her brother so much, why should she bring up learning to dance again?
Does she really want to learn to dance?
Liu Siyi started daydreaming about the future, "If you've decided where you want to learn dance, you can tell me, and I'll sign up too!"
Then she can spend more time with Zhizhi.
Fang Zhi met his deskmate's bright eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then made up his mind, "I'll go back and discuss it with my brother."
"Yay, that's great!" Liu Siyi excitedly hugged the girl around the waist.
Fang Zhi was touched by Liu Siyi's enthusiasm and reached out to hug her back and pat her gently.
The subtle connections between the children's playmates are now interwoven, forming a cohesive whole.
......
The high school section was closed for the week, and the usually spacious interior was unusually congested, prompting a large number of traffic police to be deployed.
This was the third time Qi Shen had caught Fang Zhi secretly watching him; she had been absent-minded ever since she got into the car.
Qi Shen's eyes shifted, revealing a vast and boundless depth. He smiled slightly, "Zhizhi, is there something you want to tell me?"
"How did you know, brother..." Before she could finish speaking, Fang Zhi covered her mouth, somewhat annoyed. Why did she have to say it out loud?
Qi Shen leaned back against the car, his posture both noble and nonchalant, "Your eyes are practically glued to your brother."
Fang Zhi felt embarrassed by what was said and muttered softly, "Brother, I want to learn to dance."
This was the first time she had made a request of him, and Qi Shen's eyes softened as he replied, "Okay."
Fang Zhi was both surprised and delighted, unable to believe that her brother had agreed to her so easily.
Qi Shen observed her discreetly. Shedding her gentle and delicate demeanor, the girl's beautiful features became more lively.
They are as lively as a cat, expressing their affection for their owner with the slightest gesture, which brings joy to the owner as well.
Qi Shen composed himself well and asked calmly, "What kind of dance does Zhizhi want to learn?"
Fang Zhi was taken aback. Do dances really have different categories?
"I......"
"It's okay if you haven't thought it through yet." Qi Shen could tell that she had only brought it up first and didn't have much knowledge about dance.
He suggested, "After dinner, how about your brother helps Zhizhi choose?"
"good."
