The room was filled with the aroma of braised pork ribs, and the loud chatter and laughter of Chen Jiajun and Ye Xiaozhen came from the kitchen.

Min Hui put the key on the table, and Jia Jun heard the sound of "crashing" immediately: "Sister, are you back? The dishes are almost ready, and there is one last soup."

"Okay. I'll take Quanquan and wash my hands." Min Hui said, and was about to hug Su Quan, who was sitting on the sofa watching anime, when Jiajun's voice came from the kitchen again: "His hands have been washed. ."

"Sister Min Hui, do you eat coriander?" The curtain moved, and Ye Xiaozhen stuck his head out, "Can you put some coriander in the soup?"

Her voice sounded intrigued, and Yin Xu probably hasn't had a showdown yet.

"Hold on, I'll eat everything." Min Hui took off her windbreaker and hung it behind the door.

The soup will be ready soon, the radish stewed with oxtail, the fragrance is overflowing.

Ye Xiaozhen skillfully arranged the bowls and chopsticks, and everyone came to the table one after another, with six dishes and one soup, chatting while eating, in a friendly and friendly atmosphere. Min Hui's first impression of Ye Xiaozhen is very good, largely because Ye Xiaozhen looks very calm and can quickly integrate into the environment around her. She can quickly transform into your acquaintance with just a few acquaintances.

"Sister, please persuade Jiajun." Ye Xiaozhen handed a piece of braised pork ribs to Su Quan, and said, "Brother Xin Qi found a refresher class for Jiajun in Beijing, from the School of Journalism. He studied full-time and concentrated for two years. There is also the opportunity to go to a major newspaper for an internship. Everything is arranged for him, and he lives in Brother Xin Qi's own apartment. What a great opportunity, it is much better than tutoring, he just won't go!"

Xin Qi mentioned this to Min Hui. He thinks that Qian Zhi's team is too low, the so-called "social news" is also full of entertainment style, many of which are of a soft and broad nature, and the reporters are "title party": "Do you want to do it? The woman is dancing pole dancing on the ferry", "The signature dish was too fragrant and was stolen by the customer." "The man complained that the health care product was cheating, and he was kicked out of the group of relatives and friends by his father." If Jiajun wants to achieve success in his career, he must put in effort to train his basic skills. As soon as Min Hui heard it, of course she said yes, and went home and told Jia Jun, but he firmly disagreed, saying that she was very happy working here at Qian Zhi and had a sense of accomplishment. Rather than sitting down as a student listening to a lecture and an endorsement exam, he prefers to run outside—practice gives true knowledge. Jiajun didn't want to, and Xin Qi couldn't force it, so he had to tell him when he didn't do well or encountered a bottleneck, and let him know that he was willing to help.

Thinking about it now, Jia Jun refused to leave, probably because he was unwilling to leave Ye Xiaozhen, right? The way the two were joking just now looked like they were a couple of boyfriend and girlfriend. A tutor wouldn't care so much.

"It's better to stay in Bincheng. There are many opportunities for further study, and there will be more in the future." Min Hui concentrated on eating and said perfunctorily.

"Sister, you don't know, the journalism school is awesome! I want to go there for the postgraduate entrance examination in my senior year. If Jiajun is also there, it will be very convenient. Brother Xin Qi is also working hard. Who else has this ability except him? It's too disappointing for Jiajun not to go. Sister, please persuade him again."

So - Min Hui thought - did you even like Xin Qi?

He didn't answer the call at the moment. Seeing that she was still wearing the tennis suit from yesterday, he deliberately asked, "Xiaozhen, is there a sports meeting at the school today? Dressed so energetically?"

"No. This dress was given by Jia Jun. I wore it specially to show him." After saying that, he stood up, turned around in front of Jia Jun, and put on a heart-to-heart pose.

Jiajun smiled and nodded: "Xiaozhen is learning tennis. I happened to be running the sports line in the past two weeks. I am familiar with the brand and got a discount, so I gave her a set."

Min Hui was speechless in her heart. This Ye Xiaozhen would really plan to ask Jia Jun to pay for clothes, which she wore to seduce Yin Xu. He didn't reveal it at the moment, and continued the awkward chat until after dinner, Ye Xiaozhen said goodbye, and Min Huicai said, "I'll go down with you and take out the trash by the way."

After leaving the door of the apartment, Min Hui said there was something she wanted to tell Xiao Zhen, and dragged her to a nearby cafe. The two sat down and ordered two lattes. Min Hui didn't bother to go around in circles and told the whole thing about the parking lot.

Ye Xiaozhen's first reaction was actually a faint smile: "Sister, you are seeing the wrong person."

"I read that right, and you are wearing yesterday's clothes today. Later, I asked Yin Xu specifically, and they admitted it."

She remained calm: "A 40-year-old man is close to a 21-year-old college student, taking a little advantage, that's all. I don't care, sister, why are you too serious?"

"I see that you are also very proactive. Would you like to send a bargain to your door?"

"That's just a show." Ye Xiaozhen pouted, "The woman in his family is old, ugly, and grumpy. God knows how she got together? She actually gave birth to two children? The man does laundry and cooks at home every day. , My God, how did he survive these days when the world was upside down? Marry her, and his bowels are regretful, right?"

"The tennis club's annual card in your hand is worth 7,500 yuan. It was given to you by that old and ugly woman. You turned around and went to seduce someone's husband. What about your conscience? Was it eaten by a dog? Min Hui said angrily, "Ye Xiaozhen, do you know that your behavior is very immoral?"

"Immorality is also his immorality, isn't it, sister? What do I know as a little girl? He said sweet words to me, and I just believed it." She looked at her nails as she said, "Of course, I He's not the kind of person who destroys other people's families. If he really wants to be with me, he has to get a divorce, so I won't be secretive with him."

"..."

"Sister, don't get involved in this."

"Ye Xiaozhen, I called you here to tell you that you were fired." Min Hui said word by word, "From today onwards, don't come to Jiajun or Yin Xu. Don't do it. What kind of tutoring, this profession is too unsafe because of you."

Ye Xiaozhen's face turned blue with a "swoosh": "Why should I listen to you?"

"If you want to continue like this, I'll have to expose you." Min Hui sneered and stirred the coffee in her cup.

"Do you want to piss me off?" Ye Xiaozhen raised his brows, "Min Hui, you talk to me about morality? Don't think I don't know who you are. Didn't you seduce your boss Cheng Qirang back then? Don't admit it after seduction. , I'm still going to file a lawsuit and play fairy dance, right? Why, I think people are giving less money?"

"..."

"I'm from the journalism department. It's not that easy if you want to mess with me. If you deal with me, I'll deal with you."

"..."

"Do you know what the classmates in my dormitory are doing? Watching movies. I am the only tutor, because my family is poor and I have to make a living by myself. I'm not afraid of you! My starting point is zero, the big deal is to return to the original . For me, there is nothing to lose!"

Min Hui frowned and looked at her silently: "Ye Xiaozhen, you are really capable. The bad makes sense."

"By the way, Yin Xu's food channel, without my plan, can he get 500,000 fans?" Ye Xiaozhen snorted coldly, "Sister, you haven't tasted enough of being drowned in saliva, you need me to add more fans. Did you throw it in once?" She said as she stood up: "Is that the woman who asked you to come to me? Since I was fired, please pay me a lot of money this month. As for Yin Xu, as long as he is willing to leave that woman, I will marry him, and I will do what I say. You must come on the wedding day! Bye!"

After she was about to leave, she was blocked by Min Hui. She sighed and took out her mobile phone: "Ye Xiaozhen, since you don't repent, then I'm welcome. I recorded everything you said just now. The excellent tutor recommended to me by the 'Work-study Center', then I will send this recording to your leader, and copy a copy to your department chair, asking him to educate you well. Also, your university On the tutoring website, isn't there a score for each tutor? I will write a few comments and recommend you well."

Ye Xiaozhen's face suddenly turned red: "Despicable, I didn't expect you to play this kind of trick!"

"Goodbye, good to go!"

Back at the apartment, Min Hui told Jia Jun about Ye Xiaozhen, and after listening to the recording, Jia Jun was shocked: "Why didn't you tell me earlier, it made me cook so many dishes?"

Min Hui spread her hands: "I don't have any evidence in my hands, I'm afraid you won't believe it."

In fact, she was afraid that Jiajun would get angry. This Ye Xiaozhen is not a good boy. If there is a commotion, Chen Jiajun has already been jailed once and can no longer enter.

Out of curiosity, that night, Min Hui simply packed a bag and carried Su Quan to Block A of Qingteng Garden.

She and Zhou Ruji had lived in Block E for more than three years and were very familiar with this community. As soon as you go out, it is a commercial area, and the surrounding educational facilities are all top-notch in Bencheng. There are green trees and flowers in the community, each building is equipped with its own swimming pool, sauna, gym, and there is also a huge park and children's playground.

Min Hui took out the key and took a closer look. It had A-3201 written on it, and knew that it was the same penthouse as Yao Zizhu's, but the decoration was completely different. The floor is hand-scratched, the key areas are covered with white carpets, and there are several post-modern oil paintings on the walls with colorful colors - adding a bit of messy tension to this quiet space.

Excited to see the "new home", Su Quan looked from room to room and opened all the drawers curiously. With a smile, he said, "Mom, mom, the house is so big, we can hide and hide."

"This is the house Dad prepared for you, do you like it?"

"I like it, will Dad come to live with us? Will he send me to kindergarten?"

"Dad is in Beijing now, and he will call often."

"I want to call Dad right now." Su Quan clapped his hands and smiled.

"Dad has been very busy lately. Let's fight tomorrow, okay?" Min Hui touched his face, "Good, it's eight o'clock, so I have to brush my teeth and go to bed."

After washing the child, Min Hui escorted her son into the bed. The two chatted one after another, and Su Quan soon fell asleep.

After working overtime for a month in a row, Min Hui was seriously sleep-deprived. She slept less than four hours a day almost every day. She coaxed her child to the point of falling asleep. Thinking of the imminent deadline, I was frightened and climbed off the bed again. Su Quan was timid. She didn't dare to go far. She hugged the computer, covered with a blanket, and started to write programs cracklingly on the single sofa beside the bed.

After three hours of concentrated work, she stretched and yawned. At this moment, a deep voice came from somewhere in the room: "There is a coffee machine in the kitchen, make yourself a cup of Espresso."

She was startled, looked around and saw that the sound was coming from the ceiling.

"It's me, Xin Qi." The tone was light, but the voice was very clear.

Min Hui thought it was an intelligent voice assistant at first, but suddenly remembered that Deng Chen had said that Su Quan's bedroom was equipped with a high-definition camera. She didn't pay attention when she came in, and she didn't know where to hide it.

"I was shocked, I thought I had met God." She looked in the direction of the voice, and sure enough, there was a camera hidden in the crystal chandelier above her head: remote control, 360-degree rotation, and audio output. She searched again carefully: there were a bunch of minions on the cabinet opposite the bed, each doll had big eyes, and she didn't know which doll the camera was installed in. The electronic desk clock opposite the sofa flashed a strange red light, and there was probably a camera hidden as well.

Min Hui put down the computer and went to the kitchen. After a while, she walked in with a large cup of coffee and a Band-Aid on her finger.

"What happened to your hand?" Xin Qi asked.

"It was hot," Min Hui said, "I used steam to froth the milk, but it didn't work very well, and the steam sprayed on my fingers."

"You only use a capsule coffee machine, Min Hui."

She ignored him and typed on the keyboard angrily. The scalded area hurt so much that she scolded in a low voice, "Damn it!"

"How is Jiajun?"

"That's good. By the way, let me tell you something weird..." Not knowing if it was because of the cup of coffee, Min Hui woke up completely and was still a little excited. Thinking that Ye Xiaozhen was hard to guard against, he might go to Beijing to find Xin Qi in the future, or it would be better to give him a vaccination in advance. So I told him everything about Ye Xiaozhen, and finally he couldn't help but sighed: "Do you think I have a letter on my forehead? Why do I always meet unreliable people?"

"Because you're unreliable yourself," he teased, "these sharks came over just by smelling it."

"Take it down." Min Hui looked at the ceiling, "If you try to persuade Jiajun to go to Beijing again, maybe he will agree."

"He didn't agree. He just finished talking to him and said that he still prefers to stay in Bencheng."

"Xin Qi," Min Hui asked as she lowered her head to type, "do you have the latest news from Su Tian?"

"Nope, what about you?"

"nor."

Suddenly the two fell silent at the same time.

After a while, Min Hui asked, "You said, is Su Tian still alive?"

"Alive." His tone was very certain.

"how do you know?"

"I've had a fortune teller. The fortune teller said she's still alive and I'll find her."

"You? Believe in fortune-telling?"

"You can't live without people, die without a corpse, and don't come to dream, what else can you do other than fortune-telling?"

Min Hui sneered.

"Min Hui."

"Um?"

"If Su Tian is still alive and I find her, are you willing to give Su Quan to me to raise him?"

"I don't want to."

"Why, you owe Su Tian a life."

"If you find Su Tian, ​​and you can have a dozen children, why do you have to rob Su Quan from me?"

"Because he's my son too."

"I still don't want to."

"When the time comes, what are you going to do?"

"Go ahead and find a new father for Su Quan if it suits you. I think you are quite reliable, and I think you know quite a few reliable people, so please introduce me to one. If you are lucky, we will live in the same city. , you can see him often."

"You just don't give me this son, do you?"

"Actually, there is another possibility. If Su Tian is no longer in this world...you...I..."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Then don't talk about it."

He changed the subject: "I have installed three cameras in this room. If you feel uncomfortable, you can go to work in the study next door. I don't want to disturb you."

"I don't mind." Min Hui smiled at the camera, "Your coffee cup is so weird, why is it shaped like a toilet? Taste is very special!"

He froze: "How do you know?"

"If you can see me, I can see you. Who told me to work on computers?"

"Good night, Min Hui."

"Good night, Xin Qi."

Min Hui continued to work, and after two hours, she said to the ceiling, "Xin Qi, are you asleep?"

"No," his voice was a little tired, "I'm working overtime too."
