He Yan obediently left the office and walked out of the school, but he didn't know where to go.
He didn't dare go home and didn't know how to tell his mother about this. He was fine at noon, but as a result, he couldn't perform on stage in the afternoon.
He regrets it very much.
When the teacher asked him to perform on stage, he should have agreed. If he had not shown his reluctance, the teacher would not have asked someone to replace him, and he would not have been replaced.
He Yan lowered his head and walked back and forth at the school gate, kicking stones from time to time, thinking about how to start the conversation when he returned.
But before he could come up with a plan, he heard Duan Xiaoying's voice: "Why haven't you gone back yet? What are you doing standing here?"
He Yan looked up at Duan Xiaoying, who was four or five meters away, with a hesitant look on his face.
In the past, when he saw a teacher he knew, he would take the initiative to walk over and say hello, but now he didn't want to say hello to Duan Xiaoying.
Although he knew that the reason he could not go on stage was his own fault, he could not control his emotions. He felt that his former good teacher was no longer so good.
After hesitating for a while, He Yan stopped and said, "I'll go back soon."
Duan Xiaoying didn't know what He Yan was thinking. Even if she knew, she wouldn't care too much. He was just a child. She just felt upset. If He Yan wasn't her student, she wouldn't care whether he came back or not.
But he happened to be her student, and they had just had an unpleasant conversation. If He Yan was upset and ran outside, whether he got lost or something else, she would be implicated.
So Duan Xiaoying said with a sullen face: "No, you have to go back with me."
He Yan pursed his lips, a hint of resistance revealed in his expression.
Seeing his reluctance, Duan Xiaoying walked up to him, bent down and said, "It's going to be dark soon, I'm worried about you being out here alone, Xiaoyan, you're a good kid, don't make the teacher worry, okay?"
In just half an hour, He Yan heard Duan Xiaoying say twice that he was a good boy. He couldn't help but think that if he could go on stage without being a good boy, he didn't want to be a good boy.
Seeing that he remained silent, Duan Xiaoying could only use her trump card: "If you absolutely refuse to go back with the teacher, then the teacher will have to go back and ask your mother to come find you."
After hearing this, He Yan finally moved: "I'll go back with you."
Duan Xiaoying breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's go."
Being stared at by Duan Xiaoying, He Yan had no choice but to walk towards the family compound.
The school was located outside the family area. The further you walked in, the busier the road in front of the gate became. The wives of soldiers who were out shopping or preparing to go to the cafeteria to eat were all surprised when they saw them: "Teacher Duan, why are you back with He Yan?"
Duan Xiaoying smiled and explained: "I came out of school and saw him standing at the door playing, so I asked him to come back with me."
After hearing this, the military wives praised Duan Xiaoying for being a qualified teacher, and Duan Xiaoying accepted the praise with a smile.
She always thought she was a competent teacher. Last semester, the second class she taught performed better than the next class in every exam. The average score in the midterm exam was a little lower, but the difference was only 0.5 points.
Duan Xiaoying thought that this was because there was a new poor student in the class. It was because of this idea that she had visited the He family's home before, but the effect of the home visit was average.
But Duan Xiaoying was not too worried. After Su Ting's reminder, she had already remembered He Yan's situation. If he couldn't keep up, he would most likely be held back in the next semester and would no longer be her student.
Without He Yan, she believed that her class would return to first place.
In addition to academic performance, she also cares about the children. Of course, she focuses on those students with good grades. She pays much less attention to poor students like He Yan and Li Xiaoming.
In fact, if the two families did not live close to each other and their family situations were not similar, she might not have been able to call out He Yan's name before the exam.
The same goes for Li Xiaoming. If he wasn't so naughty and Xu Fen so difficult to deal with, Duan Xiaoying wouldn't have had such a deep impression of him.
But even if she had an impression of Li Xiaoming, it was not a good impression, so when she was selecting people for the party this time, she didn't think of Li Xiaoming at all.
The subsequent development can only be described as a result of coincidences and there is nothing we can do about it.
Thinking of Li Xiaoming, Duan Xiaoying thought of Xu Fen, and then thought of Su Ting. She wondered if she would stand up for He Yan after knowing this.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Duan Xiaoying was indeed a little afraid of Su Ting.
He was afraid that Su Ting would go crazy, and he was also afraid that he would become the second Yu Hongzhi.
But she also felt that she would not become Yu Hongzhi.
The other military wives in the family compound all thought that Su Ting’s previous anger at Yu Hongzhi was because of He Yan, but Duan Xiaoying didn’t think so. She felt that Su Ting stood up because Yu Hongzhi spread rumors that she and He Dongchuan would divorce, which crossed her bottom line, and standing up for He Yan was just a coincidence.
Looking at what Su Ting did, Duan Xiaoying really didn't think she was sincere towards He Yan, so this time, she felt that Su Ting would not stand up for He Yan.
But even if Su Ting wanted to take the lead, it would be fine. As long as she insisted that He Yan didn't want to participate in the show before and that she did this for his sake, that would be enough.
Even if she brought this matter to the principal, she would still be right.
Thinking of this, Duan Xiaoying finally felt confident. She let out a long breath and separated from He Yan and turned into the courtyard of Building 65.
He Yan stood at the entrance of the yard, looking at his own door, unable to lift his feet for a long time.
So when Su Ting finished preparing the ingredients, washed her hands and walked into the yard, she was about to stretch when she inadvertently turned her head and saw the cat outside the yard wall, accidentally revealing half of its face. The little guy thought he was hiding very well.
Su Ting wanted to shout directly, but changed her mind when the name came to her lips. She walked to the wall with light footsteps, reached out and covered the black head hiding underneath, and laughed: "I caught you!"
He Yan was frightened by the sudden covering hand. He jumped up with a scream and turned back several steps until he saw the person behind the wall clearly. Then he shouted angrily, "Mom!"
As soon as he finished shouting, He Yan thought about the performance. The emotions on his face gradually faded and his eyes dimmed.
Su Ting saw this and asked, "Why are you squatting here instead of going home?"
"I'll be back soon." He Yan said with his head down, then walked around the courtyard wall and in through the middle of the door.
Su Ting walked up to him, grabbed his neck and said, "Come on, if I had a good eye and saw you, you would have to hide here for a long time. Tell me, what happened?"
He Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "...nothing happened."
Su Ting thought that just from your tone, it didn't sound like nothing had happened to you, but he didn't want to talk about it, and it was useless for her to ask, so she changed the subject and said, "Do you know what vegetables I bought today?"
"What?"
"Pork belly. Ask your dad to come back and roast it for us."
"Dad?" He Yan asked, looking up.
Su Ting: “…”
After saying that she wanted to secretly learn how to make braised pork from He Dongchuan, Su Ting tried twice when he was not at home at noon. As for the result, emmm...
Well, she failed.
In fact, she felt that it was okay. At least it had color and was edible. But He Yan was very dissatisfied. He said it was bitter the first time and too greasy the second time.
Su Ting didn't want to admit it, but the two times of eating braised pork really hurt her, so she gave up the idea of using her cooking skills to surprise He Dongchuan. She also made up her mind that as long as he didn't mention it, she would pretend that she had never said that she wanted to surprise him with her cooking skills.
In fact, even if he mentioned it, Su Ting was not going to admit it. There were no cameras in those days anyway, and she had been with him for a long time, so she had no pressure to tell lies with her eyes open.
He very calmly and shamelessly threw the blame on He Dongchuan.
…
As soon as He Dongchuan returned home, he found something wrong - He Yan was at home.
Because the rehearsal program compressed the play time, He Yan could be said to have found time to go out and play whenever he could. He was basically not at home half an hour before dinner, but today he did not go out to play!
Could it be that he scolded me yesterday and I learned my lesson?
He Dongchuan rolled up his sleeves, walked into the kitchen, picked up the iron pot and spatula, and asked while blanching the meat: "Why didn't Xiaoyan go out today?"
"Maybe he's in a bad mood." Su Ting said softly.
"He's in a bad mood?" He Dongchuan glanced sideways. "What's wrong with him?"
Su Ting shook her head: "I don't know either. He didn't tell me when I asked him." After thinking about it, she added, "I think it has something to do with the school. Why did he come home so early today?"
"No need to rehearse?"
"Yes," Su Ting guessed, "It should be related to the performance, but it doesn't seem like it. At noon, he said that the teacher praised him, and their music teacher planned to let him lead the singing."
He Dongchuan said: "That's what happened in the afternoon."
"What's going to happen this afternoon?"
"Did their music teacher change his mind? Or something else?" He Dongchuan took out the blanched pork belly, poured out the water in the pot, heated up the oil, added rock sugar and stir-fried it until it turned brown, then poured the pork belly in and stir-fried it, saying, "I'll ask him later."
"Um."
…
Although He Yan was in a bad mood, his appetite was not bad. He ate four pieces of braised pork alone, which was in stark contrast to the braised pork made by Su Ting.
Su Ting: “…”
After eating and drinking, Su Ting washed the dishes, and He Dongchuan called He Yan to go outside to talk.
He Yan was preparing to do his homework and wait for his parents to finish their tutoring for him when he was stunned. He pointed at himself and asked uncertainly, "Dad, are you calling me?"
"Besides you, who else in our family is called He Yan?" He Dongchuan asked back.
Of course not. He Yan put down his textbooks and homework and walked out of the second bedroom. When he passed the kitchen, he glanced inside and asked, "Aren't we waiting for Mom?"
He Dongchuan said, "We go first, she will come later."
He Yan said "oh" twice and walked to the scooter against the wall: "Can I take Xiao Huang with me?" Because the scooter was made of natural wood, he named it Xiao Huang.
"If you're not afraid of sand getting in your wheels, take it with you."
He Yan was of course afraid, so he quietly withdrew his hand and said, "Okay."
After leaving the yard, there was a small, long lawn outside. He Yan followed his father, bent down, pulled out a grass, and walked out while picking off the leaves on the grass. He did not stop until his father suddenly turned around and caught him. He quickly hid his hands behind his body.
He Dongchuan didn't say anything to him, but just asked, "I heard from your mother that you came home early today, so you don't have to rehearse?"
When He Yan heard this, his expression became uneasy: "I...I..."
"Me what?"
He Yan lowered his head and said, "I don't need to rehearse anymore."
"Why?"
"Because, because..." He Yan licked his lips and said, "The teacher found someone to replace me. I don't have to perform on stage anymore. The teacher said... I don't have to rehearse in the future."
His guess was confirmed. He Dongchuan frowned slightly and said, "Didn't you say at noon that your teacher praised you and wanted you to lead the singing? Why did you suddenly ask someone else to take your place?"
He Yan didn't want his father to think he was bragging, so he quickly explained, "No, it was our music teacher, Mr. Wang, who praised me, and it was Mr. Duan who asked someone else to take my place."
Although He Yan simply explained the situation without saying anything about the cause and effect, He Dongchuan was a battalion commander after all, in charge of more than a thousand people, so he quickly discovered the problem from his words.
Mr. Wang, who teaches music, is in charge of rehearsals and is a practical person.
Mr. Duan, the class teacher, is in charge of personnel and makes decisions.
Although there is a division of labor, it cannot be too clear. The military primary school is so small and there is only one music teacher, but there are more than ten classes that need to perform. She cannot just be in charge of Class 2, Grade 1. At most, she can take time out every day to see how they are practicing, but it is still the class teacher who is responsible for monitoring their progress.
Since the music teacher felt that He Yan had made great progress and sang very well, it was impossible for Duan Xiaoying to be unaware of it. Even if she did not understand music at all, the two teachers would have communicated with each other. Among the dozen or so people, the music teacher would definitely tell the class teacher who sang well and who sang poorly.
What's more, the music teacher planned to let He Yan be the lead singer. How could Duan Xiaoying be completely unaware of this?
If she knew, why did she let someone replace He Yan? Because the new kid was so outstanding? But no matter how outstanding he was, why wasn't he chosen in the beginning? Why would she replace He Yan, who could be the lead singer, because of him/her?
He Dongchuan asked: "Did your teacher tell you the reason why you asked someone to take your place?"
"Yes."
"What's the reason?"
He Yan lowered his voice: "Because I didn't want to perform on stage at first."
He Dongchuan was surprised: "You didn't want to go on stage at first?"
The day He Yan told them that they would be performing on stage at the party, he didn't see any reluctance from his son. Instead, he saw a smug look on his face.
"When the teacher first told me to take part in the show and said I would have to spend time rehearsing, I didn't really want to go," He Yan said, shaking his head guiltily.
"Then why did you go?"
He Yan recalled: "The teacher said that the program needed me and asked me to practice for a while, so I went..."
"Did you slack off during rehearsal?"
He Yan raised his head suddenly and denied it eagerly: "No!" But then he lowered his head again and said with regret, "If only I hadn't been reluctant in the beginning."
He Dongchuan believed in He Yan. Even though He Yan loved to play and spent every day thinking about how to find time to play, he was never vague when it came to being serious and would do his best to fulfill what he promised.
As for his initial reluctance, He Dongchuan didn't think it was his fault at all.
Were all the children who participated in the program willing to go on stage from the beginning? He Dongchuan felt that there were probably many children like He Yan who were persuaded by the teacher.
Since he was convinced and agreed to participate in the program, and in the subsequent rehearsals, he never slacked off and performed very well - the music teacher even wanted him to lead the singing, so what reason did his head teacher have to kick him out of the program without asking for his opinion again?
He Dongchuan reached out his hand, gently rubbed the boy's head, and said, "This is not your fault."
The younger the child is, the more he wants to be an adult. He Yan is like this. He always feels that he has grown up and can no longer be as crybaby as before.
So when he was told that he could not go on stage, he did not cry, and when he went home and saw his mother, he held back his tears.
But now, feeling his father's touch and listening to his gentle comfort, He Yan burst into tears.
He is so sad.
…
When Su Ting thought that the father and son had almost finished their talk and was about to go out to look for them, she saw He Dongchuan walking into the yard holding He Yan, who had cried so much and fell asleep in his arms.
Afraid that He Yan might be woken up from his sleep, Su Ting asked silently, "What's wrong with him?"
He Dongchuan did not answer, but just said: "I will take him back to his room first."
Su Ting nodded and stepped aside to watch He Dongchuan carry He Yan into the house, put him on the bed in the second bedroom, and cover him with a thin quilt.
After finishing these things, He Dongchuan left the room, closed the door and said, "I'll go to Han's house later."
"What are you going to do at Han's house?" Su Ting asked in surprise.
Even though their two families lived in neighboring buildings and Duan Xiaoying was still He Yan's class teacher, the two families were not really familiar with each other.
They were not familiar with each other, not only because Su Ting and Duan Xiaoying had a bad relationship. Of course, their discord did affect the relationship between the two families. However, if He Dongchuan and Han Bin had a good relationship, the two families would not have stopped interacting with each other even if the hostess was not on good terms.
From this we can see that the relationship between He Dongchuan and Han Bin is also average.
This is easy to understand. Although both of them belong to the Pingchuan Island Water Police District, they are from different branches of the military.
The Navy is composed of surface ship forces, submarine forces, aviation forces, marines, coastal defense forces, and other forces. It can be said that it combines the three services of the Navy, Army, and Air Force. [1]
He Dongchuan belongs to the Marine Corps, while Han Bin belongs to the surface ship force.
Therefore, although they knew each other, they had few opportunities to interact except for large-scale exercises, temporary missions, and meetings at the headquarters.
In addition, both of them have serious personalities and are not very friendly, so their relationship is mediocre. In fact, after He Dongchuan was transferred to Pingchuan Island, he won several victories in the competition and even led the team to participate in the military competition, which made him the most popular. There was a sense of competition between the two of them.
For all the reasons mentioned above, He Dongchuan suddenly said he wanted to go to Han's house, and Su Ting couldn't help but be surprised.
He Dongchuan said with a serious face: "Xiao Yan was kicked out of the chorus program. It was Han Bin's wife who made the decision."
The surprise on Su Ting's face faded, and her expression became serious: "What's going on? Wasn't he training well? Why did they kick him out of the show?"
"Han Bin's wife explained that when the show was first being planned, Xiao Yan was reluctant to participate. Now that someone has taken his place, she no longer wants to make it difficult for Xiao Yan to participate in the show."
Su Ting's reaction was similar to He Dongchuan's: "When did Xiao Yan become unwilling?"
"I asked him," He Dongchuan rubbed his brows, "When Han Bin's wife first approached him, he was reluctant, but was convinced later."
"Since he's convinced, and Xiao Yan has been performing so well recently, why would Duan Xiaoying kick him out of the show?"
If He Yan wanted to quit, Su Ting would not say anything, but at noon they were still discussing the support for the party, and after school in the afternoon, He Yan was always listless, and it was obvious that he still wanted to be on the show.
Just like He Dongchuan's words, He Yan was completely used up and thrown away by Duan Xiaoying this time, and was "kicked" out.
Su Ting remembered something: "By the way, Xu Fen went to see Duan Xiaoying today."
"Who is Xu Fen?" He Dongchuan didn't know many of the military wives in the family compound.
"She is the mother of a student named Li Xiaoming in Xiaoyan's class. Li Xiaoming should be the one who replaced Xiaoyan. I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something this morning and happened to see her bragging to others at the door about her son's performance."
Although Xu Fen said that Duan Xiaoying was afraid that Li Xiaoming was too outstanding and would undermine the self-confidence of others, the logic was inconsistent and it was obvious that she was bragging.
But Su Ting felt that the matter had nothing to do with her at the time. After all, it was normal to have one more or one less person in a chorus program, so she didn't say anything.
Who knew that Duan Xiaoying lost his mind and kicked He Yan out of the show for Li Xiaoming.
Don't tell her that these two things are unrelated. A new person was added to the program in the morning, and He Yan was kicked out in the afternoon. And then they say there is no connection between the two things. Su Ting doesn't believe that.
He Dongchuan also didn't believe that there was no cat poop in it, and frowned slightly: "I'm going to Han's house now."
"Who are you looking for at Han's house?"
He Dongchuan said: "Talk to Han Bin's wife, she is Xiaoyan's class teacher."
In fact, it would be best to discuss this matter at school, but he left early and came back late every day, and when he was on holiday, the elementary school would also be on holiday. Next Saturday was Children's Day, so this matter could not be delayed. And asking for leave specifically for the child's performance was a bit of an overreaction, so he could only go to Han's house to talk to Duan Xiaoying now.
These thoughts went through Su Ting's mind, and she decided, "You don't have to go to Han's house. I will go to school tomorrow to talk to Duan Xiaoying about this."
Su Ting believes that due to its special circumstances, the Navy Compound actually has a very clear division of labor: "Men work outside and women work inside."
If it was in another unit, Su Ting would definitely find fault, saying that women can also work and earn money, so why should women take care of household chores while men only need to work? But when the unit was changed to the military, she had nothing to say.
First there is a country, then there is a family.
These men in the family compound have heavy responsibilities, so it is understandable that they neglect their families. Otherwise, why do people say that being a military wife is difficult?
If you want to be a military wife, you must be aware and able to make choices, otherwise life will be too difficult.
Su Ting didn't have this awareness before, so she never thought about looking for a soldier. Now, in fact, her awareness is still not very high, but who made her a soldier's wife?
She is a person who is very tolerant in some aspects. If He Dongchuan's appearance and personality do not match her choice of partner, she will definitely stop at being a fake couple with him and find a way to divorce in the future. But he has a good appearance and personality, so his other shortcomings will not be a problem.
What's more, career is not his shortcoming.
Moreover, he was of a high rank, so Su Ting lived in the family compound when she came here, and they didn't have to live apart. He was also hardworking, so he cooked for her at home, and they could eat in the cafeteria when he was not at home.
So far, Su Ting has not had his career, and whenever he encounters something that requires him to make a choice, he just lives his life peacefully.
But Su Ting didn't think their life would always be so comfortable.
As long as He Dongchuan doesn't change his job, they will definitely encounter the same problems that other military families encounter. When he becomes busy, or when they have children, she will definitely need to give more.
Su Ting didn't think it was unfair. After all, they were a family, so how could they calculate so clearly? As long as He Dongchuan always treated her well, she was willing to return the favor.
From this we can see that her thoughts and awareness have not completely improved after traveling through time.
Let's get back to the point. Due to the clear division of labor in the family, there are some unspoken rules in the family courtyard. For example, if two children quarrel, the woman will definitely be the first to intervene. Only if there is no negotiation will the man intervene.
If the problem can be solved after the woman steps in, then it won't be a big deal. If it can't be solved and the man steps in, the two families will most likely have a grudge.
If a man directly comes forward on one side, if he wins, he will be accused of being stingy and fussing over a woman. If he loses, he will be accused of not being able to win an argument with a woman.
If a fight breaks out and both parties involved are women, the Women's Federation will do the ideological work, and the result is usually to make a big deal out of a small matter, or a small matter out of nothing. The worst that can happen is just verbal criticism.
Of course, this is the case when there are no moral issues such as improper thoughts or improper conduct. If there are such issues, then the problem is serious. At the very least, the person will be criticized and criticized, and at the worst, he will be labeled.
But it's different when the fight involves men. The military has strict discipline. Fighting can result in a demerit at the very least, or even demobilization, which will also affect the post-demobilization arrangements. If a man fights with a woman, that's even more serious. No matter what the reason, they will definitely be dealt with severely.
Therefore, if He Dongchuan directly handles He Yan's matter, he will be at a disadvantage regardless of whether they are right or wrong. It is not as convenient as having Su Ting to handle it.
However, the right degree of this needs to be communicated with He Dongchuan first.
Su Ting pondered for a moment and asked, "Xiao Yan wants to go on stage, right?"
"right."
"Then..." Su Ting paused for a moment as she pondered the wording and asked, "Have you ever thought about letting Xiaoyan transfer to another class?"
"Change class?"
"That's right. I think Duan Xiaoying is not very fair. If Xiaoyan is allowed to take the stage, I might fall out with her. In this case, I don't think it's a good idea to let him stay in Class 2."
Although the first grade of elementary school is not as critical as the third grade of junior high school or the third grade of high school, it is the beginning of his educational journey. Whether the teacher he meets is good or bad is very important to him.
In fact, Su Ting had considered transferring He Yan to another class long before the quarrel with Duan Xiaoying during the home visit.
It's just that He Yan's ranking in the midterm exam was indeed not good, so Duan Xiaoying's home visit was not too abrupt. It seemed too much of an overreaction for her to ask He Yan to transfer schools just because the conversation was not pleasant.
Moreover, she was not sure at that time that Duan Xiaoying would be so stingy towards He Yan, so she gave up the idea after consideration. But now Su Ting is sure that Duan Xiaoying is really so stingy.
It has come to this point. It is definitely unrealistic for Heping to persuade Duan Xiaoying to let He Yan return to the chorus program. If he wants her to bow her head, he can only use force, but this will inevitably offend her even more.
In this case, letting He Yan continue to stay in Class 2 after Children's Day is obviously not a wise choice.
You know, teachers in military primary schools usually teach from first grade to fifth grade. If He Yan doesn't repeat a grade next semester, he will study under Duan Xiaoying for the next four years.
After realizing this, He Dongchuan was inclined to change classes, but considering He Yan, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Let me ask Xiao Yan what he thinks first."
"good."
Su Ting nodded and looked at the closed door of the second bedroom: "Write him up to take a shower now?"
"Later, go wash first," He Dongchuan patted Su Ting on the back and said, "I'll call him after you're done."
…
He Yan was not opposed to changing classes because he had not been in the Military District Primary School for long, just over two months in total, and he sat in the back row of the class, his grades were not outstanding, and he had never received special care from the teachers, so naturally he could not develop much teacher-student friendship.
He did have good relationships with his classmates, including his deskmate Zhang Xiaokai, the classmate in front of him and the classmate across the aisle. They all got along well, and he really couldn't bear to leave them.
But his father also said that after changing classes, he can still play with his friends after class, but he can't talk secretly during class.
Hearing this, He Yan quickly said, "We didn't talk secretly during class."
Of course this was a lie. He and Zhang Xiaokai had often whispered to each other in class, but he couldn't admit it in front of his father because he was afraid of getting beaten.
He Dongchuan was not someone who could be easily fooled. Of course, he did not believe his explanation, but he did not argue with He Yan. Instead, he went with the flow and said, "If that's the case, then changing classes will not affect your friendship, right?"
What can He Yan say?
Of course I could only nod and say yes.
Therefore, the class transfer was confirmed. After hearing this, Su Ting had no more plans. She patted her chest and said, "I will take care of Xiaoyan's performance. You don't have to worry about it."
Because she was going to sleep, Su Ting did not wear any underwear. The soft and close-fitting pajamas were patted tightly against her body with two pats, revealing her curvy curves.
He Dongchuan's eyes changed immediately. He held Su Ting's slender waist with his left hand, turned her over and put her on top of himself. He reached up with his right hand to hold the back of her neck and pulled her towards him.
Su Ting: "...We are talking about business!"
He Dongchuan said calmly, "We're done talking about it." He raised his head and bit the girl's pointed chin.
