Chapter 1835 First meeting

"will not."

Xiao Xiao's sudden words startled Gu Lao, who was lost in thought.

He subconsciously looked at Xiao Xiao who spoke.

".What?"

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up slightly.

“You don’t have to worry about the transportation costs.”

“There’s a subway that goes directly there.”

This time, since Mr. Gu was there, he naturally took a taxi.

But if he goes there by himself later...

Well, maybe he'd take a taxi, too.

After all, the monsters on his body don't like overly crowded environments.

Of course, there is no need to tell this to the old man whose brows and eyes are relaxed at this moment.

……

"oh oh."

Mr. Gu nodded repeatedly, "There is a direct subway."

"That's quite convenient."

The price is also much cheaper than taking a taxi.

However, even so...

"Xiaoxiao, save up your subway receipts every day and ask the child's parents to reimburse you when the time comes."

Gu Lao's words made Xiao Xiao laugh and shake his head.

"Grandpa Gu, no need."

How can a tutor ask the host to reimburse the travel expenses?
His tutoring is too expensive.

"Grandpa Gu-"

Xiao Xiao was about to say something when he noticed that the car was slowing down, so he asked, "Are we there yet?"

Ok?
Mr. Gu was stunned.

He turned to look out the window.

Then he nodded happily, "Yes, that's it."

……

Xiao Xiao got out of the car first.

Then he opened the car door for Mr. Gu.

Gu Lao bent down and got out of the car. He raised his face and narrowed his eyes. He said with a smile, "You are just polite, kid."

"It's not like I can't open the door myself."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

He opened his umbrella.

The old man opened his eyes wide, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, where did you get this umbrella?"

He didn't see the child holding an umbrella on the way here.

A very familiar question...

Xiao Xiao raised the little white fox in his arms slightly and said, "It was Jiu who helped me hold the umbrella before."

"……oh oh."

Old Gu was stunned for a moment, and then again.

Then an uncertain sound came out.

Ajiu knew it.

Such a beautiful fox.

When he first saw it, he watched for a long time.

Of course, even when he saw this little white fox now, he still thought it was a really beautiful fox.

Ah Jiu holds an umbrella...

The old man's eyes fell on the little white fox lying in Xiaoxiao's arms with its eyes slightly closed. How could such a fox hold an umbrella?
Xiao Xiao put the umbrella away and demonstrated to the old man how the little white fox held the umbrella.

"oh oh."

The old man's face showed a look of realization, "This is how you hold it."

"Alas, I am old and my brain is not as sharp as before."

The old man patted his head.

Xiao Xiao opened the umbrella again to block out the overly bright sunlight.

"Grandpa Gu, let's go."

"Oh, um."

The old man took a step forward.

After walking a few steps, he seemed to react and looked up at the black umbrella above his head.

"Xiaoxiao..."

The old man paused and said, "You are still holding an umbrella..."

In his memory...all he saw on the street were...girls holding umbrellas.

It turns out that boys can also hold umbrellas?

If it were someone else, he would have disdained it long ago.

Why is a grown man holding an umbrella?

But the person holding the umbrella is the youngster whom he has always admired...

The old man's words turned around and became much more tactful.

……

"Ajiu doesn't like basking in the sun." Xiao Xiao's explanation made the old man's expression suddenly become much more natural.

"Oh, it's Jiu who doesn't like sunbathing."

The old man didn't say anything about Xiao Xiao's behavior of taking the little white fox to tutor.

Not to mention that today is the first time, it’s more of a meeting and getting to know each other.

Moreover, with the little white fox around, it will be easier for the child to get close to the new tutor, right?
The child is introverted by nature, so it would be great if he could open up a little because of the little white fox.

After climbing up six floors, the old man was a little out of breath.

This is an old residential complex, and the highest floor is only the sixth, so there is naturally no elevator.

But there is a very famous primary school next to this community.

The surrounding facilities are also complete, so it is the preferred residential community for many parents.

Gu Lao waved his hand at Xiao Xiao who was looking at him with some concern, "It's okay."

“Although I can’t climb the sixth floor without getting out of breath, but...”

The old man stroked his chest and could feel his heartbeat was a little disordered. "It's not to the point of falling down like this."

"Don't look at my figure."

Gu Lao then touched his belly, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, "My physical strength and endurance are pretty good."

"Ding dong~"

Mr. Gu rang the doorbell.

A crisp ringing sound came from inside the house.

After a few breaths, Xiao Xiao heard the sound of hurried footsteps becoming clearer and clearer.

"I have an appointment with them."

Gu Lao rang the doorbell twice and then withdrew his hand. He turned to explain to Xiao Xiao, "They are waiting for us in the house."

"soon-"

Mr. Gu's unfinished words were interrupted by the opening door.

"Uncle."

The man called out with a smile.

Curious eyes fell on the young man behind the old man.

It looks...seems okay?
At least he looks like a college student with excellent character and academic performance.

They were a little surprised when the uncle said he was here to help find a tutor for the child.

I also shook my head and refused.

After all, family education is important, but it is not so important that the elders in the family need to step in.

Moreover, they have no idea about the level of tutor the elderly can find.

Or rather, I didn't hold out much hope.

But the young man in front of him was better than he had imagined.

"Please come in."

The man smiled politely at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao followed Mr. Gu into the living room.

What comes into view is a warm picture.

The child was lying on the ground drawing something.

The woman watched the child painting with a smile on her face.

The woman, noticing the movement, looked up.

Soon, she stood up.

"Uncle."

The woman called out with a smile.

Then his eyes fell on Xiao Xiao.

This is the tutor that my uncle highly recommended.

It doesn’t look like anything special?

I wonder if I can successfully become my child’s tutor?

"Linlin."

The man looked at the child who was half hiding behind his mother.

They told the children this morning, not long ago, that their great-grandfather would bring a new tutor to their house today.

He and the child's mother were worried that if they told the child the news last night, the child would not be able to sleep well because of all the worry.

"Why don't you call someone?"

The man looked at the child with some disapproval.

"Linlin."

The woman patted the child on the shoulder.

The lowered brows reveal a hint of gentleness.

"Don't call me Grandpa yet."

".Great grandfather."

The child called out softly.

"Hey."

Mr. Gu responded happily.

"Linlin, let me introduce you to you."

Mr. Gu didn't delay either.

He slightly turned his body so that Xiao Xiao, who was half a step behind him, could appear more clearly in front of everyone.
