Paying the Bullies in Kind Chapter 10

Five days before Linhai University started, Nathan Tao moved into Liam Zhao's house. He didn't have many things, and they could only fit in two suitcases. Liam Zhao pulled one and he pulled the other, and the two of them walked through the red light district and got on the bus as before. After taking the bus for more than 20 stops, he changed to another bus and passed by Linhai University. A banner welcoming new students had been put up at the school gate. Nathan Tao was very curious and looked at it on the glass for a long time.

Liam Zhao said, "I'll take you out for a walk after school starts. I heard that the food at Linhai University is pretty good. Maybe if you're lucky, you can meet your brother."

Nathan Tao pursed his lips and smiled: "Thank you so much, Mr. Zhao, but I wouldn't recognize him even if I met him. He was still a child when he left me. I really don't know what he will look like."

After getting off the bus, he walked more than 100 meters to his new home. Liam Zhao first went to the property management company to record a face code for the unit door for Nathan Tao. When he arrived at the door, he recorded his fingerprints. Nathan Tao had never been exposed to these novel gadgets, so he curiously Follow the instructions and say: "It's so advanced. I've only seen it on TV."

After entering the door, there was another smell of dust. Liam Zhao glanced forward and said, "I haven't been here for three or four days. I forgot to close the window when I left last time."

Nathan Tao immediately answered: "It's okay, I'll clean the house as soon as I put the things away."

Liam Zhao said: "Don't worry, take a rest first."

Together, they placed all Nathan Tao's things and made the bed. Liam Zhao went to the public bathroom and came out and said, "The water pipe in that bathroom is broken. You can use the wash basin and toilet, but you can't take a shower. I haven't been able to take a shower these days." I'll find someone to fix it some time soon. You can use the master bedroom bathroom until it's done."

Nathan Tao said, "Would that bother you too much? If you are resting."

"Our time basically coincides, so don't interrupt."

Nathan Tao only felt that Liam Zhao was really good, so after making the bed, he took the initiative to start working. Liam Zhao wanted to help, but he refused to give in. He only said: "I will do it quickly, you go and rest." "

Liam Zhao didn't say much. After a while, he took out a smartphone from the bedroom and said, "This is the mobile phone I used in high school. After I was admitted to college, I replaced it with a better one. I haven't dealt with this old one. Just use it, your phone is too inconvenient."

Nathan Tao didn't dare to answer. He wiped his wet hands on his apron: "No, no, I can do it. You're too polite. I really don't want it."

"Mobile phones are changing generations too fast. I have been using this one for three years. Now I can't even sell it for 100 yuan. If I don't use it, it will be the same as a brick. You can take it."

Liam Zhao no longer asked for Nathan Tao's consent, but directly picked up Nathan Tao's elderly phone and removed the communication card. The old SIM cards were all large, so Liam Zhao took scissors and trimmed the large card into small cards bit by bit. , Nathan Tao saw it and knew he couldn't refuse, so he had to mop the floor harder, lowered his head and said, "It's really troublesome for you."

"It's nothing. I can sit here just because you are cleaning, right?"

Liam Zhao opened his mobile phone and did some operations, and said: "I will register a WeChat account for you. We will use this to keep in touch in the future. You can also add other colleagues and friends. This is much more convenient. I won't teach you how to operate it. You can do it yourself." Just play around and you'll get it."

Although Nathan Tao had never used a smartphone, he was not ignorant. He nodded repeatedly and heard Liam Zhao say: "I will give you another recruitment software. You can check it out when looking for a job in the future."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome. There's nothing that needs to be taken care of in this house. I can do my best if I can, but I can't cook, so I have to trouble you in this regard, but I may only come back one or two days a week."

Nathan Tao hurriedly agreed: "What are you talking about, classmate Zhao? This is what I should do. Just tell me what you like to eat, and I will definitely make it full for you."

"Okay, thank you for the hard work."

The two of them were cleaning and playing with their mobile phones. Although they didn't talk much, the atmosphere was harmonious. When Nathan Tao was doing the finishing work, Liam Zhao spoke again. This time, his tone was a little different.

"By the way, there are two things."

Nathan Tao straightened up. The two of them looked at each other first. Then Nathan Tao was keenly aware of what Liam Zhao wanted to say. He immediately said, "Tell me, classmate Zhao. It's okay. If you want me to help again, It's okay to do something."

"I'm not asking you to do anything." Liam Zhao put the phone on the table, glanced at the window, and said, "I don't like any smell in the house, so I often open the windows and doors for ventilation, and never close the door when I sleep. You live in the second bedroom. , I also hope it can be ventilated so that the air is better."

Nathan Tao said "Oh": "It's normal to leave the door open. It's too hot in the summer and we all sleep with the door open. Moreover, the air circulation is good for the body, so it's okay."

In fact, Nathan Tao really didn't care about whether the door was closed or not. He also felt that people in the city were very particular, so he urged the next thing without thinking: "What else is there?"

Liam Zhao focused on Nathan Tao this time: "The second thing is that I don't like water on the floor, so every time you take a shower, wait until your hair is dry before you come out, okay?"

Is it okay? These four words were spoken very softly. Nathan Tao was stunned, subconsciously touched his hair and said, "It's time for me to cut my hair."

Liam Zhao said: "Sorry, I have many problems."

Nathan Tao couldn't agree with this statement. In his eyes, Liam Zhao was his best friend, the kindest, smartest and best college student. What's wrong with a little problem? Isn't this normal? Everyone has their own concerns.

So Nathan Tao quickly comforted Liam Zhao: "Don't say that, I can understand it. My hair is short, and it will be dry after just wiping it a few times. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."

"Thank you." Liam Zhao said, "Me too, I won't leave the bathroom dripping."

"It's okay, it doesn't matter at all."

Nathan Tao felt that these were just two trivial things. If he made it difficult for Liam Zhao to do such trivial things, then his friend would be too unqualified. Later, Liam Zhao briefly taught Nathan Tao the basic operations of the smartphone. It was very simple, and Nathan Tao mastered it in two or three attempts. He kept saying, "It's so advanced, it's really amazing."

Nathan Tao wanted to cook at noon, but there was only one bag of quick-frozen dumplings in the refrigerator. After cooking, he asked Liam Zhao about the nearby fresh food supermarket --- of course, he asked about the vegetable market, and then After carefully interrogating Liam Zhao about his tastes, he wrote down everything he liked and didn't eat in a small book. Finally, he felt a little emotional and said, "You are just like my brother. You are busy outside, but you are still a picky eater when you come home." "Head boy."

Liam Zhao said nothing.

Tao Zhicai suddenly remembered that they had talked about this topic before. He suddenly panicked and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that you are my brother."

"fine."

Liam Zhao did not continue the topic, but Nathan Tao always felt that he had offended him invisibly, and he secretly blamed himself for not being able to speak, but Liam Zhao had already carried the dishes to the kitchen.

In the afternoon, Nathan Tao was going to go to work. Liam Zhao said that he would not go to work from today on and was going to buy things to start college life. Nathan Tao thought about using some of his savings to buy Liam Zhao one to start school. Gift.

After the accommodation was settled, Lucas Zhang's harassment disappeared, and the start of school also meant that Caleb Tao would be found soon. Therefore, Nathan Tao was in an unprecedented good mood, and he worked hard. The landlady joked to him: "Little Tao's face is red, this is Are you in love?"

Nathan Tao smiled and waved his hand: "How could that be? You are thinking too much!"

The landlady also laughed: "You are so handsome, so many customers love to look at you. I have noticed it several times. It would be fine if you really find a suitable place."

Nathan Tao knew his situation, so he could only say: "Yes, I have a suitable place, but I am too poor, so I'd better save up for a few years before considering this matter."

The boss's wife asked about Liam Zhao again: "That young man is about to start school. Will he stop coming in the future? He is so handsome. I really like him."

"Haha, he's about to start school, and I probably won't see him much in the future. He's such a nice guy. He's really good at both character and learning."

The two of them praised Liam Zhao to the highest level with their words. Finally, the proprietress suddenly said: "My niece is in the university next door. Although it is not as good as Linhai University, it is still one of the top ten good schools in the country. Xiaotao, Can you give me Xiao Zhao's contact information?

Nathan Tao was stunned. He didn't know why the topic turned in this direction. He thought for a while and said, "I'm quite embarrassed. I'll ask him later, but they are still young, only eighteen years old. You are too anxious." "

The landlady blinked at Nathan Tao: "It's too late and someone else will take it away!"

Although this matter was a trivial matter, it really put Nathan Tao into a bit of a dilemma. Classmate Zhao looked like he was not a womanizer. How could he say this? Is this question too personal?

But Nathan Tao had already agreed, so he had to put the matter on the agenda. He quietly returned home at around two o'clock in the morning, thinking about wiping himself with a towel and going to bed first, but as soon as he entered the door, he heard Zhao Depth of field's voice: "Back?"

Nathan Tao walked in from the entrance: "Did I wake you up?"

"No, I haven't adjusted my schedule well enough. I couldn't sleep for a long time."

Footsteps sounded from the bedroom, and in Nathan Tao's blink of an eye, Liam Zhao had already reached the door of the bedroom, holding on to the door frame and saying, "Go in and take a shower, I'm not sleepy at all."

This was an ordinary scene, but it was unusual. Liam Zhao was wearing only boxer briefs. The yellow bedside lamp reflected from the bedroom blurred Liam Zhao's facial features, but made his outline extremely clear. Nathan Tao didn't know why he saw someone's crotch at a glance. His face immediately turned red, his eyes turned to the side, and he hurriedly put on his slippers: "Okay, okay."
