Chapter 210 Warmth
Tao Shuxin knew that Xu Mingyuan was brave, but she didn't expect him to be so brave.

With only ten or twenty minutes to spare, he could sneak over and get into bed with me. What else could he not dare to do?
The most annoying thing is that he is always very humble and polite in front of his mother, but in front of his father, he seems to be disrespectful, but he is actually very serious.

In addition, Xu Mingyuan has a handsome appearance and a sanctimonious look, which gives people a good first impression and makes it easy to deceive people.

Tao Shuxin rested her elbows on the mattress, supported her face with her hands, and looked at him with narrowed eyes and unfriendly expression.

Only I know how bad this bastard is.

The worst thing about Xu Mingyuan was that his perfect image fell apart in front of his mother.

Every time he was the one who started the trouble and then he had to take the blame.

Although every time it was an accident, the annoying thing is that he always hid it well. If what happened today was discovered, it would definitely expose his positive image!

Tao Shuxin was sulking, so she gave him a kiss on the face and got up to look for clothes.

She was only wearing a thin autumn shirt under her pajamas, nothing underneath. Her mind was in a daze today and she didn't even think about this incident. She won't do it again next time!
It was past nine o'clock before Xu Mingyuan was pushed up by Tao Shuxin.

The curtains were drawn back, and the sky became bright.

Xu Mingyuan yawned and saw that the little girl had changed her clothes and was sitting cross-legged beside him, staring at him with resentment on her face.

"what happened?"

"How dare you ask me what's wrong?! Is this your home or mine? You slept more soundly than me!"

When Tao Shuxin saw that he had woken up, she wanted to settle the score with him.

Before Xu Mingyuan could say anything, the cotton pillow came over.

The pillow was snatched away, and then he was hit on the head.

Tao Shuxin was so angry that she jumped off the bed immediately, tiptoed to open the top cabinet, jumped up, pulled out a spare pillow, and started a pillow fight.

After fighting for a while, the quilt fell to the ground and the mattress and sheets flew to the side. After Tao Shuxin lay on the mattress for a while, she angrily asked Xu Mingyuan to help her make the bed smooth again.

When I arrived in the morning, the sky was gray and the curtains were drawn, so I couldn't see what her room looked like.

Now you can see clearly that the little girl's room is very clean, but there are all kinds of small dolls placed everywhere, and a pair of socks balls thrown on the floor, making it look a little messy.

On the desk was a pile of textbooks she brought back from school. She didn't put away the books carefully when she got home last night, so her skin care products were piled on the desk.

"You are not allowed to rummage through my cabinet." Tao Shuxin said vigilantly.

"Why would I go through your cabinets when I have nothing better to do? Do you think I am you? You come to my house and do nothing but search through boxes and cabinets. Why are you so curious?"

There are also some world classics and girls' comics on the bookshelf. Xu Mingyuan picked up a book at random. It was published in 98 and was the most popular girls' comic in the late s, "Cardcaptor Sakura".

There was a crooked drawing of a little cartoon girl on the title page, with "Baby Taotao" written on her headscarf and a line of words written in the circle: Please give me the power of a girl!
The handwriting was much more immature than Tao Shuxin's now. Xu Mingyuan smiled for a while with his shoulders shrugged, and said, "Teacher He is very good to you and even lets you read comics."

"I was allowed to read them when I was a child. Later, when I entered junior high school, my mother gave away a box of extracurricular books and only left me a few as souvenirs. Alas," said Tao Shuxin.

"It's not too late for you to see it now. Teacher He can't control you anymore." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Who would like to watch it now? I'm busy catching up on TV series."

Tao Shuxin pushed Xu Mingyuan aside and applied skin cream in front of a small mirror. She smeared the excess on his face. Seeing that he did not resist, she giggled foolishly.

Tao Shuxin took out her childhood photo album and told him where the photos were taken and what happened.

When Xu Mingyuan was a child, he played in the mud. The family was headed by men, so there are very few photos left. It was good if he could take five or six photos a year. And they were all taken before he started elementary school. It is far less than the rich photos of Tao Shuxin.

There are very few photos of little Yangzhi, and they were all taken after she came to the Xu family. There is not a single photo before the fifth grade of elementary school. It's like she suddenly popped out of a stone.

Tao Shuxin found a set of checkers and asked Xu Mingyuan to play.

Xu Mingyuan hadn't played checkers for many years and had almost forgotten the skills, so naturally he couldn't beat her.

Looking at the little girl cheering, he could only shake his head helplessly to admit defeat.

Only then did Xu Mingyuan realize that in the past one or two years, he seemed to have never done anything with Xiao Yangzhi, except playing computer games that she didn't like.

Xiao Yangzhi really likes playing badminton, but it’s a pity that it’s too cold to go outside to play.

Xiao Yangzhi was weak and his fingers would be cold for a while after grabbing a snowball, let alone making a snowman.

From Tao Shuxin, I learned some games for little girls to pass the time, such as chess, checkers, and Gobang. They can exercise your brain and not be too tiring.

When Xu Mingyuan goes out, he shouldn't let Xiao Yangzhi stay at home alone.

If she doesn't like reading magazines and comics, you can buy her some balls of wool and let her do some handicrafts when she's free.

I remember Xiao Yangzhi once said that when she was a child, she felt uncomfortable at home, so she learned to cut paper and weave flowers. Xu Mingyuan didn't take it seriously at the time, but now he thinks that he can let her continue to do it.

Due to years of inertia, Xu Mingyuan is naturally careless about some small things in life.

He felt that since Xiao Yangzhi was in high school, she should focus on studying like other students. As for entertainment, since she was not interested, Xu Mingyuan could rest assured.

After spending a long time in contact with Tao Shuxin, Xu Mingyuan suddenly realized that what he was doing was quite outrageous.

Although Xiao Yangzhi is not interested in anything, she must be forced to do something to pass the time, otherwise she will be distracted all day long and it would be strange if she doesn't get stuck in a dead end.

Xu Mingyuan covered his forehead in embarrassment. It had been almost two years, and he only discovered this today.

Seeing his annoyed look, Tao Shuxin said very proudly: "Isn't it just that I beat you a few times? Are you unhappy? Can't you afford to lose?"

"Yes, yes, I can't afford to lose." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Hey, you said I was narrow-minded, you are narrow-minded too."

Now Tao Shuxin was happy. He played chess with Xu Mingyuan a few more times and was finally satisfied.

"Will Teacher He come back at noon?"

"I don't know. I'll call my mom to ask." Tao Shuxin leaned forward to get her phone, then said softly, "Do you want to stay and eat with us?" "I'm fine with that."

"Ok."

Tao Shuxin agreed and said that it was already noon, so she could just say that Xu Mingyuan had just arrived.

But soon, Tao Shuxin threw away her phone and said to him, "Mom is not coming back, so she asked me to go to grandpa's house for dinner. I agreed to it yesterday, but I almost forgot. Do you want to go?"

"I won't go. Teacher He isn't leading you. Your grandpa's house isn't far from here, right? I'll take you there."

During their casual conversations, Xu Mingyuan had heard Tao Shuxin talk about family matters. Her grandfather was an old leader of the Nanxi Municipal Education Bureau. He had held the position and refused to retire in the past two years, most likely to gain more opportunities for his children.

If nothing unexpected happens, He Qiong should become the vice principal of No. 3 Middle School this year.

"It's a bit far, on Xingye North Road. Do you know how to get there?"

"It should be in Xicheng District. Where in Nanxi have I not been?"

"Tsk, I don't believe it. Where is the community in the garden?"

Tao Shuxin put on her cotton coat, packed her small bag and put it on her shoulder.

"It's on Heping Road, there seems to be a department store opposite?" Xu Mingyuan said casually.

Tao Shuxin was surprised, and asked several place names in a row, and then said suspiciously: "Have you followed me? How come you know where my relatives live?"

"What's the train of thought in your head? How would I know you were talking about a relative's house?" Xu Mingyuan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

“But you remember it too well.”

"If you walk around more, you'll remember it."

"I can tell from the looks of it that you have nothing to do, just wandering around all day."

Although he also thought it was impossible, Xu Mingyuan really knew himself too well.

Tao Shuxin occasionally had a feeling that Xu Mingyuan saw through her. He knew exactly what she liked to eat and what she was thinking, except for what she looked like under her clothes.

"You're right. Hey, are you still going to take the test for your ticket?"

"Take the test. I haven't passed the second test yet. Please teach me. There are not enough cars in the driving school. I need to queue up. I can't even touch the steering wheel a few times..."

After chatting along the way, Xu Mingyuan sent Tao Shuxin to her place. Xu Mingyuan had nothing to do today, so he had a simple meal downstairs at his home.

When he returned home, he saw the little cotton shoes neatly arranged on the carpet.

Xiao Yangzhi puts the shoes she takes off every day in the shoe cabinet, making the house look clean and tidy.

The slippers that Xu Mingyuan left behind when he went out were also neatly arranged, but Xiao Yangzhi's slippers were missing, and her down jacket was hung on the hanger at the door.

Xu Mingyuan didn't expect that Xiao Yangzhi would go home at noon. She also told him in advance, otherwise he would have taken her out for dinner.

The door of her room was open. Seeing that there was no one inside, Xu Mingyuan went to the door of the south room and gently turned the doorknob.

Little Yangzhi had her hair loose, her little face was peaceful and comfortable, and she was sleeping soundly.

But her sensitive ears heard the sound of the door opening, and she opened her eyes blearily, and saw Xu Mingyuan lying at the door looking into the house.

"During the day, it's warm in this room, brother..."

Yang Zhi's cheeks suddenly turned red. She didn't expect Xu Mingyuan to suddenly come home at this time. She thought he went to Jiangcheng.

"Ha, you're not stupid. You know there's sunlight in this room. Have you had lunch?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"have eaten."

Seeing that he didn't care, Yang Zhi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Noodles again?"

"Well, I didn't just eat noodles, I bought some chicken liver." Yang Zhi explained quickly.

"Okay, take a nap. I'll take you to school in the afternoon."

"Thank you, brother." Yang Zhi said, and lifted a corner of the quilt, "Brother, do you want to take a nap?"

"Go to sleep, I'm not sleepy."

After sleeping for about two hours while holding Tao Shuxin in my arms, I no longer felt sleepy.

The door was closed, which made Yang Zhi feel a little disappointed.

She turned off the alarm, tidied up the room, and followed Xu Mingyuan to the study.

"Do you really want to be a tea girl?"

Seeing Xiao Yangzhi coming in with a thermos, Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Is that okay?"

Yang Zhi poured a glass of water steadily, raised his eyes and asked in a low voice.

"Haha, okay."

"hey-hey……"

Yang Zhi happily pulled out a small stool and spent the remaining half an hour of lunch break.

Before he knew it, the armrest of the boss chair had been tilted to one side due to the long-term pressure of Xiao Yangzhi's elbow.

If Xu Mingyuan wanted to sit comfortably, he could only let Xiao Yangzhi lean against him...
