Meng Xiaozhi Sugar Core

"Teacher, let's continue the class... I seem to understand it, and it doesn't seem difficult." She said again.

"okay."

There is something more painful than studying.

……

Two hours later, at 10pm, I waved goodbye to Liu Lanlan, watched her close the door, and walked out of her neighborhood.

Tang Xin's car had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Teacher Li, are you off work?" She rolled down the car window and looked at me with a smile on her face.

"Well, it's time to get off work. Let's go home." Although I was feeling depressed, I didn't want to bring negative emotions to Tang Xin. I forced a smile and got in the car.

"How is it? Is everything going well?" Tang Xin lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the car slowly started and drove out of the community.

"It's OK. He's just a kid. He'll be obedient soon." I said with a wry smile, "It's not an easy job."

"Hmm, are you hungry? Don't you want to get a midnight snack?"

I was happy when I heard that. It's been a long time since you went out for a midnight snack? Ever since I got together with Tang Xin, how could I have time to go out for a midnight snack? Roasted lamb, roasted beef, roasted eggplant, no, no, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

"Go, go, go! It's your treat!" It doesn't seem like a big deal to occasionally yell at a rich woman if she's hungry, right?

"Let's go! It doesn't matter how late we are! The dorms are never closed!"

Tang Xin drove me to the night market stall near the community. At 10 o'clock, the barbecue stall was doing a booming business. The store was already full, and the sidewalk outside the store was already full of tables for customers to use. Although this is indeed immoral and affects the beauty of the city, fortunately there are few pedestrians in this place, and most of them are here for entertainment, so naturally they don't care about this.

After Tang Xin and I parked the car nearby, we found an empty table and sat down. The table was a little dirty. The boss probably just wiped it casually after the last round of customers used it, and there were still sticky oil stains on it.

"Will you wipe it with some napkins?" I picked up a few napkins from the table and helped Tang Xin wipe the stool before she sat down.

"It's okay, I'll do it myself."

"Isn't it a bit too messy?" I looked at the customers sitting at the surrounding tables. They were all big and strong men. The two of us seemed a bit out of place.

"It's okay, it's okay. Xiaomeng, didn't you say that the real delicacies are found in the streets and alleys of the city? Maybe that's why there are so many customers here?" Tang Xin disagreed and sat down happily.

"Okay." After wiping the table and chairs, I sat down aside.

"What would you like to eat?" A plump waitress came over with a menu.

……

After ordering the food, Tang Xin held her chin and looked at me, smiling with interest.

"Why are you staring at me like a child?" I felt a little frightened by her gaze.

"Oh? The students you teach also look at you?" Tang Xin looked suspicious.

"speak nicely."

"Tsk, so stingy. You won't even let me look at you? Then I'll go look at other handsome guys." Tang Xin turned her head and looked at the tables next to her.

"If you dare to look at me, I will..." I was furious. When did this little girl learn how to provoke others?

"What about you?" Tang Xin turned around and asked curiously.

"I will, I will!"

"Ok?"

"..."

"Should I dig out my eyeballs and make a necklace for you?"

I was deflated. I admit that I couldn't say such terrible words. I was afraid that Tang Xin would melt even if I held her in my mouth.

Tang Xin laughed so hard that her body shook, "Xiao Meng, you are so lame. You can't even say harsh words."

"Aren't you bullying the honest people?" I said resentfully.

"But, I like it..." Tang Xin suddenly leaned over and blew air into my ear.

Damn, how can it be so tempting? My face burned from my cheeks to the back of my ears. Saying these sweet words of love in public always caught people off guard.

"The food is served, let's eat the skewers first!" Unable to stand Tang Xin, I quickly pushed her away and turned my attention elsewhere.

It was at this glance that I saw a familiar figure. I saw a man hugging a woman, stumbling to a table not far away and sitting down. The man was drunk, his face flushed, and his hands were wandering dishonestly on the woman's body.

"Miss Liu?" I was so surprised that I was speechless. She was dressed particularly charmingly at night, with blood-red lips and thick smoky makeup. Her enchanting figure under the low-cut neckline told others about her charm.

"Ms. Liu?" Following my gaze, Tang Xin looked over and naturally revealed a look of contempt, "Do you know her?"

"Yes." I nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, then he is the parent of my student. In other words, he is my employer."

"Ah!?" Tang Xin opened her mouth wide, "Not really, right?"

"I think I'm not wrong."

"Forget it, this is someone else's life, you can't interfere." Tang Xin retracted her contemptuous gaze and continued to look at me, "My Xiaomeng is still so pure and innocent."

"Pure as ice and jade? I have long been dyed your color." I rolled my eyes at her. Obviously, the word pure as ice and jade does not suit me at all. For example, the word King of Filth might be more appropriate.

"Hey." Tang Xin smiled foolishly and did not forget to stuff a piece of fish tofu into her mouth.

The sound of a beer bottle smashing broke the noisy environment, and everyone fell silent for a moment and looked towards the source of the sound.

"I spent so much money to support you and asked you to go home with me tonight, why are you so ignorant?"

Tang Xin and I were startled and naturally looked over there. We saw the man grabbing Miss Liu by the collar and speaking viciously.

"Damn it, you're selling yourself and still trying to be a virtuous person." It seemed that the man was drunk and was yelling at Miss Liu.

As soon as these words were spoken, people around her naturally wouldn't have much sympathy for Miss Liu. Most of them might just think that it was all her own fault.

The stall owner immediately ran over to mediate the fight, and when a few burly waiters approached, the man naturally became a little scared, left a few hundred yuan bills and walked away without looking back. Miss Liu was left alone sitting at the barbecue stall, sorting out her clothes.

Perhaps because they had seen this kind of thing so many times, no one paid much attention to it. Except for some men who would steal a few glances at the plump Miss Liu, everyone ate and drank and continued what they were doing.

"What do you think?" Tang Xin turned and asked me.

"I don't know. When I met her before, I had the impression that she was a woman who loved her children very much and was very successful in her career. This is the first time I've seen her like this." I still couldn't believe my eyes. The gap between these two people was too big.

Just as I looked away, several men sitting nearby walked towards Miss Liu.

"Let's have a few drinks together?" said the man with a Mohawk hairstyle as he pulled Miss Liu's hand.

"Stay away from me." Miss Liu almost cried out.

"What? Why are you screaming so loudly?" Several men obviously did not intend to let her go and sat down next to her.

"Aren't you going to help?" Tang Xin looked at me with understanding, and gave me a look, "The Xiao Meng I know won't just sit there and do nothing, right?"

I stood up and walked to her side with Tang Xin: "If you continue like this, I will call the police."

The smiles of the people who were still arguing froze on their faces. "Who are you, little brat? Why are you meddling in other people's business? Get out of here as soon as you can before we lose our temper."

"Do you want to stay and play with us?" The others were even more rude.

I pressed 110 on my phone and held it up in front of me: “Molesting women will result in administrative detention, and serious cases will result in criminal detention.”

"I recorded everything you did. Guess what the police will say when they get here?" Tang Xin shook her phone, which contained the video from just now.

Chapter 3: Tutoring ()

"Are you okay?"

After rescuing Sister Liu from a few hooligans, she sat quietly at our table, wiping her tears, without saying a word.

The tissue that Tang Xin handed to her was almost used up before she spoke to me in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, Teacher Li."

Her voice no longer had the heroic tone it had when she first met me, and was replaced by the weak and feeble moan of a woman.

"Ms. Liu, you..." I was about to ask the question in my mind, but Tang Xin grabbed my hand and stopped me.

"Do you need me to take you home?" Tang Xin said.

"Thank you. Wait a moment. I don't want Lanlan to see me like this." Miss Liu smiled bitterly. "Teacher Li, you must have a lot of questions to ask. It's okay. I will tell you everything. Just please don't be reluctant to teach Lanlan because of me. She has been much better since you first taught her. I really thank you."

Looking at Miss Liu in front of me, there is an indescribable sense of tearing apart from the charming and enchanting her before, as if she was not the same person at all.

She took a deep breath and slowly began to narrate: "Actually, all of this is my fault. It's because I don't know how to do anything and can't make Lanlan happy."

"When I was young, I knew nothing. I came from the countryside to work, and I had never seen much of the world as a teenager. But I could vaguely feel that men seemed to be particularly good to me, and gradually I learned to use my capital. Later, I met my first boyfriend. I had already learned a lot about dealing with men. As long as you make them feel vain and comfortable, they will naturally bow down to you. He is very rich and treats me very well. Unfortunately, I misjudged him. A woman like me who only knows how to seduce men thinks that I will be relieved if I can get along with a rich man. At that time, I didn't know so much."

She took out a cigarette and lit it silently: "You don't mind?"

Tang Xin and I looked at each other and shook our heads to show that we didn't mind.

"If a beautiful woman has no time for learning and no brains, then her beauty is a sin. After he had enough fun, he naturally threw me away. It was then that I had Lanlan. But fortunately, I also had a trick up my sleeve and snatched a few pieces of meat from him, so the house is his." Miss Liu said calmly, "Am I a bad person?"

I don’t know how to comment, so I just remain silent.

"You don't need me to tell you. I know I'm a bad person, a very bad person. I sold my body, blackmailed and cheated, smoked and drank. I did everything. But they forced me to do it. I just wanted to come to the big city to find a job and live an upright life!" Miss Liu became a little emotional. "It was them. They sold me."

"Sorry..." Tang Xin took a tissue from the side and handed it over again.

"Lanlan is everything to me, but I have no money. Tuition, living expenses, daily necessities, I have never had any contact with these things. I have no choice but to come out and do this." Miss Liu said self-deprecatingly.

"Why don't you get a normal job?" I asked.

"How could I not look for a job? But that salary is not enough for us to live on. Lanlan's tuition is 130,000 yuan a year. Where can I find a normal job with such a high salary?"

"Why don't you choose a public school?" Tang Xin couldn't help but ask, "Compulsory education in public schools is free, right?"

"No, my Lanlan must get the best education. She can't be like me. She must stand out." When she said this, she became very emotional and her face became a little ferocious.

"But, have you asked Liu Lanlan's opinion? Is she happy there?"

She was stunned and shook her head with difficulty. "I haven't talked to her for a long time. It seems that there is a gap between us after entering junior high school. I don't know why. She used to be very close to her mother, but suddenly there seems to be a generation gap. Her grades are getting worse and worse..."

Suddenly, Miss Liu grabbed my hand and explained to me: "Teacher Li, don't worry, the money I give you is all earned from my normal work during the day, and it's not dirty at all."

She became nervous again, as if she was worried that I would look down on her and her money.

"Don't be like that. Since I've received the money, I will teach everyone equally. I will be responsible to the end, Liu Lanlan, but I think the fundamental problem of Liu Lanlan lies with you."

"Me?" She was stunned.

"Children are very sensitive, and children from single-parent families need more adult company." I nodded.
