Chapter 75 Your Dad Gave It To Me
Chapter 75 Your Dad Gave It To Me
"Let's eat together at noon. You can order whatever you want."
Xu Mingyuan ordered two dishes and gave the menu to Tao Shuxin.
"Aren't you going home to eat?" Tao Shuxin asked.
"If you don't want to eat here, just pack it up and take it away." Xu Mingyuan said.
I didn't have anything to do today, so I sent a text message to Xiao Yangzhi, asking her to wait for me at noon and I would bring her lunch.
Thinking that Tao Shuxin was not a particular person, instead of letting Xiao Yangzhi come down, it would be better for them to go back and eat together.
"Okay, I'll have some... stir-fried shredded potatoes."
Tao Shuxin hesitated for a long time and chose the cheapest dish.
"You don't have to pay. What happened to you today?" Xu Mingyuan asked puzzledly.
"What do you know?"
Tao Shuxin turned her head away proudly, which showed that she was a thrifty and good girl.
Seeing that she was determined to act reserved, Xu Mingyuan ordered her favorite braised pork trotter.
Tao Shuxin was very satisfied, but also a little conflicted. Wasn't it too unpresentable to gnaw bones in someone else's home?
"Where is your home?"
"It's the building in front."
Xu Mingyuan was holding some fruit in his hand and nodding.
"Ah? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Tao Shuxin exclaimed and quickly exchanged the bag in her hand with Xu Mingyuan.
He was still thinking about what to do just now, but now he was almost at the destination. Tao Shuxin barely calmed himself down and walked forward resolutely.
"You are really weird." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"be quick."
The fruits weighed more than ten pounds in total. It was very difficult for Tao Shuxin to lift them and she had to change hands from time to time.
Although she walked very slowly, she kept urging Xu Mingyuan.
When they got downstairs and saw him take out his key, Tao Shuxin asked, "What address is your home?"
"301, what? You want to sneak into my house in the middle of the night and throw paint at me?"
"Humph, I'm not as bad as you. Do you know why I'm here?"
Tao Shuxin pretended to be calm and looked at Xu Mingyuan provocatively.
"At first I thought you were here to play, but now who knows what you want to do?"
"Humph, home visit!"
Tao Shuxin said this with all his might and rushed into the corridor.
"Home visit? Can't you just tell me and it's over?"
"What's the use of telling you? I'll complain to your father that you don't study hard."
"Damn, did Lao Gao ask you to come?" Xu Mingyuan was surprised.
"Why do you care? You're going to have a hard time today anyway."
"Then you miscalculated. My father is not at home. What's the point of you coming here?" Xu Mingyuan laughed.
"What? Not home?"
There was a loud bang on Tao Shuxin's forehead.
"Yeah, we won't be able to come back in the short term." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Isn't today Sunday? My dad is home, how can your dad not be home again?"
Tao Shuxin felt like the sky was falling.
I planned so carefully and prepared myself mentally, but in the end I forgot to ask the most important thing.
Seeing Xu Mingyuan laughing so hard, Tao Shuxin felt a stuffy feeling in her chest and a sweet taste in her mouth. The blood that had been brewing in her chest was about to burst out.
"Let's go. Now that we're here, why don't we have a meal before leaving?" Xu Mingyuan said.
"You carry it!"
Tao Shuxin stretched out his hands.
"I've been carrying it for so long, it won't take me two more steps."
"Good for you!"
Having lost both his wife and his army, Tao Shuxin wanted to chase after him immediately, but unfortunately he couldn't run fast with the things he was carrying.
Xiao Yangzhi had already seen the two of them at the window. Standing at the door, she said to Tao Shuxin who had caught up with her, "Sister Taotao is here?"
"Little sister, didn't you go out to play?"
Tao Shuxin said hello and stopped chasing Xu Mingyuan.
"No."
Yang Zhi shook his head.
She usually didn't go out, but today she knew Xu Mingyuan would go home early, so she bought what she needed in advance.
Xu Mingyuan even bought the rice and put it in the bowl for her to eat. Tao Shuxin originally wanted Xu Mingyuan to take her around, but since they had already sat down and asked her to eat, she had no choice but to sit opposite him out of curiosity.
Xiao Yangzhi usually sat apart from Xu Mingyuan, but this time when Tao Shuxin came, she gave up her seat to her.
"Why don't you sit with your sister?"
Tao Shuxin felt a little uncomfortable with no one around her.
On the other hand, the arms of the two people opposite were almost touching.
"What's the relationship between us? Who are you? How dare you pick on me as a guest? Go and eat your meal." Xu Mingyuan said.
When Tao Shuxin heard this, she wanted to strangle him to death, but because Xiao Yangzhi was there, she had to hold back.
Yang Zhi pursed her lips and happily put a piece of vegetable into Xu Mingyuan's bowl.
After eating, Xu Mingyuan naturally didn't clean up. He threw down his chopsticks and lay down on the sofa to digest the food. He also picked a banana and took a bite.
Well, it really looks good but tastes bad, and has no sweetness at all.
Tao Shuxin was not as shameless as Xu Mingyuan. After humiliating him for only bullying little sisters, she helped to clean up the mess.
Three bowls and two plates were cleaned up in two minutes.
Tao Shuxin couldn't bear to see Xu Mingyuan being so comfortable, so she wet her hands and flicked two drops of water on his face.
Seeing him eating the bananas she bought, Tao Shuxin joined in.
It was difficult to take back the gifts given to others, so Tao Shuxin could only eat as much of her own pocket money as possible. However, she ate too much and felt a little full after a few bites.
"Get up and take me for a walk."
Tao Shuxin pulled his arm.
"It's a small place, you can see whatever you want."
"Do you think this is my home?"
"It's okay, you can be it."
"Hey, what are you talking about..."
Tao Shuxin bit her lip and scolded him, her cheeks turning red, and she hit him lightly.
"What are you thinking? I mean you don't have to be polite. If you want to steal something, go ahead."
"Get up!"
Tao Shuxin dragged him up from the sofa with great effort.
The house was renovated by Xu Jun. It is simple and elegant, and the overall feeling is pretty good.
Of course, Tao Shuxin didn't want to see the living room. What she wanted most was to see what Xu Mingyuan's room looked like.
Xu Mingyuan also understood and opened the bedroom door directly.
"what?"
Tao Shuxin looked around curiously before walking in.
"what happened?"
"I thought your room was a mess with posters all over it and smelly socks everywhere."
Tao Shuxin was very surprised. The bedroom was about ten square meters and there was nothing cluttered inside. There was just a bed, a wardrobe for clothes, and a small cabinet beside the bed with a desk lamp on it. There were only a few newspapers and a cup on it.
To be honest, it's much tidier than my own room.
"You think I'm you?"
"Tsk, your sister must have helped you clean it up."
Tao Shuxin said something guiltily that she didn't even believe herself. A room like this could be cleaned up in less than a minute and no one's help was needed.
In fact, she was right. Xu Mingyuan just got up, lifted the quilt and left him alone.
It was also the first time that Yang Zhi encountered a classmate coming to her house. She didn't know what to do, so she just followed them for a stroll.
After asking Xiao Yangzhi if she could visit her room, Tao Shuxin was silent for a moment and then walked out feeling ashamed.
No wonder my mom says every day that her room is like a pigsty. It turns out that’s indeed the truth.
Tao Shuxin would study for a while after returning home every day. After washing up, he would fall asleep as soon as he touched the pillow. When he woke up, he would get dressed and go to school. Naturally, he was not as meticulous as Xiao Yangzhi.
When Tao Shuxin walked into the study, the first thing he saw was not the computer, but the cigarette box and lighter on the table.
"Xu Mingyuan, you still dare to smoke? I'll tell the teacher!" Tao Shuxin frowned.
"Who are you trying to scare? This was given to me by your father, and I haven't touched it."
Xu Mingyuan doesn't have any addiction now. Apart from going to Jiangcheng for social events and meals, he only lights one when he is upset and anxious. But he hasn't had any worries in the past few months. He eats well and sleeps well.
"I don't believe it! How could my dad make... Eh? This lighter really seems to belong to my dad..."
Tao Shuxin picked up the silver lighter. There was a scratch on the ZIPPO logo on it, which was caused by her accidentally dropping it on the ground.
"Wow! Dad actually gave cigarettes to my classmate! I'll tell my mom when I get home!"
Tao Shuxin was filled with grief and indignation. She had been working hard to pay attention to Xu Mingyuan's every move, fearing that he would not learn his lesson again, but she did not expect to be stabbed in the back by her own father.
