Chapter 112 Boldness
Chapter 112 Boldness
Tao Shuxin ran all the way home and climbed to the fifth floor without feeling tired at all.
After rummaging for a long time, Tao Shuxin finally took out the key from her small bag tremblingly. When she was about to open the door, she noticed that her breathing was rapid and her heart was beating faster.
After calming down for a long time, my face was still very hot when I touched it. But continuing to stand at the door was not an option. It would be even worse if my mother heard any noise outside.
I took a few deep breaths and felt that I was fine, but after trying to insert it into the keyhole for a long time, my hands were shaking and I couldn't get it in.
Click.
The door was opened.
Tao Shuxin took two steps back in panic.
Noticing her daughter's flushed face, He Qiong frowned and asked, "Have you been drinking?"
"Just a bottle of beer."
Tao Shuxin lowered his head and hurried into the room.
He squatted on the ground, untied his shoelaces, didn't even put on slippers, lifted his legs and ran.
"Why is your face so red?"
"I'm more attractive."
"is it?"
"hold head high."
Tao Shuxin didn't want to explain, nor did she dare to explain, for fear that her mother would notice something.
"The floor is cold, come back and put on your slippers!"
When He Qiong saw her daughter wanted to go to her room as soon as she got home, she reminded her.
"Oh."
Tao Shuxin hurried back and changed into slippers.
Seeing that her daughter came back early, He Qiong didn't care about her anymore and went to take care of her own things.
Tao Shuxin ran back to the room, locked the door immediately, picked up the rag doll on the table, jumped onto the bed, and started punching the doll in the face.
After fighting for a while, Tao Shuxin vented the last bit of strength in his body, buried his head in the quilt and didn't come out.
Bad guy, bastard, bastard!
How can you be like this!
Shouldn't we proceed step by step?
According to my own idea, he should confess his love in the first step, then hold hands in the second step, hug in the third step, kiss forehead in the fourth step, kiss cheek in the fifth step, and the next step is lips.
That's how TV dramas are played...
This bastard!
It would be fine if he just jumped to the third step, but how could he jump to the last step?
I haven't agreed yet!
My fingertips touched my lower lip, it was hot and there seemed to be a trace of warmth left.
Then he hammered the doll again, smashing the cute cartoon head crooked.
Tao Shuxin was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
After a long while, he reached out and lifted up the doll. Seeing his masterpiece, he reluctantly let go of some of his resentment.
But when he saw the doll's head began to bounce back, he angrily threw it into the air and kicked his favorite doll away.
The accident came so suddenly that I had no time to react. All I remember is that my mind went blank.
This is my precious first kiss, and it’s gone just like that?
The most infuriating thing is that I didn’t even taste the saltiness, and it just disappeared in a daze.
Tao Shuxin sobbed a few times, but unfortunately it was just thunder without rain, and not a single tear came out.
……
Thinking of Tao Shuxin's silly look of helplessness, Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but want to laugh.
When passing by No. 9 Middle School, I remembered that Xiao Yangzhi's evening study class should be over soon, so I strolled to the gate of No. 9 Middle School and waited for her to finish school with a group of parents.
Xu Mingyuan finished his self-study late and had no chance to pick her up. But there was one time when she came a long way to pick him up. Now that he thinks about it, she was quite courageous at times.
When the school bell rang, Xu Mingyuan did not rush to the door with the other parents, but continued to wait across the street.
When Xu Mingyuan saw Xiao Yangzhi, she had already run towards this side, but after running two steps, she greeted the classmates who came out with her, and then continued to jog towards this side.
Xu Mingyuan was very pleased to see that Xiao Yangzhi still had a few friends. She finally had some social life.
What made me even more gratified was that I didn't inform Xiao Yangzhi in advance, and she was able to see me in the crowd at a glance.
If it were Tao Shuxin, this unlucky kid with dull eyes, he probably wouldn't even be able to recognize her if he walked in front of her.
However, seeing Xiao Yangzhi's happy expression, Xu Mingyuan still sighed.
I guess this child hopes someone will come and pick her up every day.
Holding little Yangzhi in his arms, Xu Mingyuan rubbed her head. Seeing her classmates looking over here, he waved and said hello.
"Come on, I'll take you out for a midnight snack." "I'm not hungry."
Yang Zhi raised his head and looked at him eagerly.
"Eat more and gain weight."
"Ok."
Yang Zhi reluctantly let go of her arms, took his arm, and walked home together.
After finding a small restaurant near the community, Xu Mingyuan ordered two bowls of wontons and a plate of cold beef.
Yang Zhi folded open a pair of disposable chopsticks and rubbed the tips of the chopsticks against each other.
After shaving off all the burrs, he placed them on the plate in front of Xu Mingyuan, then folded another pair of chopsticks and continued to do the same thing.
"How is school?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"It's OK. There weren't many classes today. The teacher just asked us to write a test paper."
Yang Zhi put down the work at hand, put her legs together, leaned forward slightly, and sat up straight and elegantly.
Whenever Xiao Yangzhi goes out, she is not as relaxed as she is at home.
Xu Mingyuan was used to it. Xiao Yangzhi was like this at home before.
She must have been scolded a lot since she was a child, and now she has been fixed on it.
"It's okay, but it's not good. Next time, you should be a little lazy and learn more from your brother." Xu Mingyuan said.
"All right……"
Yang Zhi was conflicted and speechless.
My brother used to teach me to be good, but now he is teaching me to be bad...
The dishes were served quickly, and Xu Mingyuan tasted the beef, which tasted OK. But he was not very hungry, so he put two chopsticks into Xiao Yangzhi's plate.
"You eat more."
Yang Zhi was adding vinegar to the wonton bowl. After stirring it evenly, he picked up a wonton and blew on it. After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his hand and asked in a low voice, "Brother, do you want to try it?"
Xu Mingyuan didn't care. He swallowed it in one gulp and then shivered from the sour taste.
"You should eat it. I can't stand the sour taste."
After saying that, Xu Mingyuan added a little chili oil to his bowl, and scooped a spoonful of soup from Xiao Yangzhi's bowl to adjust the taste of his own bowl.
I tasted it and it was light with a hint of spiciness and sourness, which was pretty good.
"Then I won't add vinegar next time."
Yang Zhi's rosy little face wrinkled again, and she lost her appetite.
"Just eat yours, how can I snatch the food from your bowl?" Xu Mingyuan said speechlessly.
"Brother, well, can I have a taste of yours..."
Yang Zhi lowered her head, hid her eyes under her thin bangs, and looked at him quietly.
"If you want to eat, just eat. Do you even need to ask?"
Xu Mingyuan pushed the bowl forward.
"My spoon is covered in vinegar..."
Yang Zhi took out the spoon, a little hesitant.
"Tsk, you're such a slow-moving little girl, hurry up."
Xu Mingyuan tapped her little head.
"Oh……"
Yang Zhi scooped a spoonful of soup, sipped it gently, feeling a little disappointed.
Xu Mingyuan had already eaten his fill and just wanted to drink some soup.
Seeing that Xiao Yangzhi didn't even drink the soup in her own bowl and was trying to snatch it from him, he simply transferred the wontons in his bowl into hers.
Seeing the wontons almost overflowing from the bowl, Yang Zhi frowned. She couldn’t eat anymore.
Yang Zhi seized the opportunity, lowered his head and grabbed the wonton in the spoon into his mouth.
"Brother, I can't eat so much..."
Yang Zhi lowered his head and looked at the bowl, stirring it constantly and seemed to be sighing.
"Not too much, not too little, just right."
Xu Mingyuan took the bowl back, not noticing that she was pursing her lips, actually trying not to smile.
