Chapter 217: Too bold

If Xiao Yangzhi continues on this path, she will definitely become a stay-at-home girl who never leaves the house for the rest of her life.

Xiao Yangzhi's way of staying at home is different from that of ordinary people. She is a deep homebody. Even if someone takes the initiative to ask her to be friends, she is unwilling to acknowledge them.

Xu Mingyuan was very suspicious that Xiao Yangzhi was usually very attentive just because she was afraid of being kicked out of the house, which would prevent her from becoming a senior stay-at-home girl.

It would be fine if she just stayed at home, but she had no interests or hobbies, which gave Xu Mingyuan a headache.

What would he do if he got sick one day?
In fact, Xu Mingyuan was confused by the situation, and Xiao Yangzhi also had her own interests, such as sneaking around and taking advantage of her cheap brother...

"Xiao Yangzhi's junior high school classmate? Who is she?"

Seeing Duan Shihan being called away, Tao Shuxin asked curiously.

"Yes, she is her classmate, Duan Jianhe's daughter."

"Really? Then should I get to know her?"

Tao Shuxin chewed something and looked at Xu Mingyuan, wanting to get an answer from him.

"There's no need for that. People of your generation don't need to build connections like your father did. It's enough to just go to your father when you have problems." Xu Mingyuan said.

Tao Shuxin once worked in a financial institution, where there were many people with connections who were just trying to get by. But she eventually chose to return to Nanxi to be a teacher. She must not have liked the life plan her father had given her.

If Tao Shuxin wanted to work, she might as well come and work for Xu Mingyuan. If she wanted to advance, she could manage a department. If she felt tired, she could do some reporting. She would be free and worry-free.

Xu Mingyuan originally planned to make such a life plan for Xiao Yangzhi, but she made it clear that she wanted to be a tea waitress and not leave home, so it depends on whether Tao Shuxin is willing.

"I want to pack a portion of beef ribs to eat at home. Look, the buffet over there doesn't even have a bite. What a waste."

Tao Shuxin wiped his hands and glanced at the food rack not far away, his eyes showing an eager look.

"Then you go."

"But it's a bit embarrassing."

Tao Shuxin looked up at Xu Mingyuan.

Nowadays, people pay special attention to face in social occasions. As a little girl, I was embarrassed to do such a thing, so I thought of instigating Xu Mingyuan.

"You've already eaten it, are you still afraid of being embarrassed?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"How can that be the same? It would be ugly to eat and take at the same time."

Tao Shuxin knew everything in her heart, she was not a child anymore. Those rich young men and women saw that these two people came in just to eat. Even if they didn't show their disdain on their faces, they might be criticizing them behind their backs.

"Just tell the waiter what you want to eat and ask her to pack it up for you to take out."

"Hey, you're really smart!"

Tao Shuxin nodded vigorously, with praise in her eyes.

Tao Shuxin did it right away. She ran to say hello to her father, then waved at Xu Mingyuan, asking him to come out quickly.

Tao Shuxin was still very proud, so she called the waitress in cheongsam to the side and gestured for a long time before she finally told her what she wanted to eat.

After a while, the waiter came back with two large food boxes and handed them to Tao Shuxin.

"You packed so much, can you finish it? And you said that Tang Lin didn't come with you because she was embarrassed. It would be strange if she would have the nerve to do that for a girl who cares so much about her reputation." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

Tao Shuxin's childish nature has not faded away. If she wants to eat, just tell him and he will cook for her. Xu Mingyuan was amused to see that she had dragged him here just to have a full meal.

"It tastes better when pie falls from the sky. If you eat it, your whole family will not be hungry. Bring some back for your sister. Am I being nice?" Tao Shuxin said proudly.

"Okay, okay, let's go."

As soon as Xu Mingyuan took a step, Tao Shuxin grabbed him and took him all the way to an elevator in a remote place. He went downstairs like a thief, hiding from people.

After getting in the car, Tao Shuxin breathed a sigh of relief.

This greedy little girl was also afraid of bringing shame to her father.

After sending Tao Shuxin downstairs in the community, Xu Mingyuan saw her stuffing the lunch box into her arms and asked in confusion, "What kind of show are you performing?"

"My mom saw it and beat me up. I wanted to save it for a midnight snack."

"You haven't eaten enough yet?"

"I'm full, but I want to eat a little more at night. If my mother finds out, she won't let me eat." Tao Shuxin said as a matter of course.

"You're almost eaten like a pig."

"I did want to, but you don't know, I've lost weight in the past two days, and my stomach is flat." Tao Shuxin sighed lightly.

My mother has been on vacation these days and has been controlling her diet. Now she has no fat or water in her stomach. Why don’t I find a way to replenish it?
"Eat less. My stomach is upset."

"It's okay, just treat it as a snack. Go back quickly, or I'm freezing to death!"

Tao Shuxin held her bulging belly, which looked like she was seven or eight months pregnant. She made a phone call gesture with her hand to her ear and hurried into the apartment building.

Xu Mingyuan wanted to remind her, how could Teacher He not see this act of covering one's ears and stealing the bell? Then her life as a teacher would be in vain.

He shook his head helplessly. If Xiao Yangzhi's appetite was half as good as Tao Shuxin's, she wouldn't be so thin that she would be blown down by the wind.

……

January is the coldest month, and Yang Zhi seldom goes out except for some necessary things.

The winter vacation of her first year in high school lasted for more than 40 days. She took advantage of Xu Mingyuan's absence to finish her homework, wanting to save up all her spare time and try not to miss any opportunity.

Given her seriousness, she can finish all the massive homework assigned by the teacher in ten days at most.

Yang Zhi was very surprised to hear the door open. She thought her brother would be back very late.

Seeing Xiao Yangzhi trotting over in her cotton slippers, Xu Mingyuan handed the lunch box to her.

"Brother, you're back."

"Have you had dinner tonight?"

"have eaten."

"Noodles again?"

"Well, I heated up the dishes. I ate a lot and I didn't just eat noodles." Yang Zhi explained.

"Eat some more. Taotao brought this for you."

"Oh……"

Yang Zhi bit her lip, took the lunch box and put it aside, then considerately took the coat and hung it on the hanger at the door, then took out her cell phone from her pocket and put it on the coffee table.

He picked up a few tea leaves with his fingers, poured a cup of hot water, then carried the lunch box to the dining room and cleared the books on the table.

When Xu Mingyuan came out of the bathroom, Xiao Yangzhi had already finished everything and was waiting for him to come over for supper. Recently, Xu Mingyuan liked staying at home more and more. This little girl was more attentive than a professional housekeeper, and Xu Mingyuan's quality of life had not only not declined, but had improved.

This is also why Xu Mingyuan did not have the idea of ​​forcibly changing Xiao Yangzhi when he was worried about her future.

At best, I am only a half guardian, why do I have to change her?
As for little Yangzhi's future, Yang Hongyu had already moved her household registration to Xu Jun's name, leaving it to her adoptive father to worry about. Xu Mingyuan didn't want to care about it anymore.

And now, just get by.

Xu Mingyuan felt very good watching Xiao Yangzhi tidy the house.

"Brother, you didn't go drinking?"

"No, haven't I told you many times? It's not something to be happy about. Do you think I'm willing to drink?"

"Brother, are you happy now?" Yang Zhi asked in a low voice.

"It's OK. Let's try some beef ribs. Taotao ate a table full of them. She said they were delicious..."

Before Xu Mingyuan could pick up some food for her, Xiao Yangzhi took out a bottle of Lao Baigan and placed it on the table with a crisp sound.

Xu Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "Why did you buy wine?"

"I, I want to try what it tastes like. I don't understand why so many people like to drink it..." Yang Zhi kept raising his eyes and lowering them, and whispered nervously: "Brother, didn't you say you wanted to try something new?"

"Okay, you're not a kid anymore, it's okay to drink a little. Don't drink this stuff, wait until tomorrow to buy a can of rice wine, it's sweet and sour and tastes good, just like drinking a beverage."

Xu Mingyuan smiled. It seemed that Xiao Yangzhi was bored at home and had many ideas.

No wonder she kept asking me whether I wanted to drink recently. It turned out that she wanted to try it. Xu Mingyuan thought she was worried that she would become an alcoholic like her father.

You have to fight for the opportunity yourself!

When little Yangzhi saw that he was not beaten, he clenched his fists.

He hurriedly fetched two small teacups, opened the bottle cap with great effort, and poured two full cups of white wine.

"52 degrees? Just take a sip. Drinking too much will give you a headache."

Xu Mingyuan took a sip, then frowned and put it aside, not planning to drink any more.

"okay……"

Yang Zhi nodded, sniffed the pungent smell, frowned, and took a sip while suppressing the discomfort.

Then she was stimulated by the spicy taste of the white wine, and her little face began to turn red before she could swallow it.

"Okay, just vomit now."

Seeing her face twisted into a bun, which looked harder to swallow than Chinese medicine, Xu Mingyuan took the cup from her hand with a helpless look.

"Hiss...ha..."

A line of fire rushed from Yang Zhi's throat to her stomach, and she choked to tears.

"Haha, didn't I tell you to vomit? Hurry up, is it delicious?"

Seeing that she has a stubborn temper, Xu Mingyuan smiled.

"Ahem, this is so hard to drink..."

Yang Zhi covered the corner of his mouth and quickly ran to pour a glass of cold water. After drinking two glasses in a row, he finally let out a breath.

I was just a little bit away from vomiting on the table.

"Still drinking?" Xu Mingyuan asked with a smile.

"I don't want to drink anymore..."

Yang Zhi shook his head repeatedly. If he drank another sip, he would definitely fall on the table and not be able to get up.

The packed food was a little cold, but Yang Zhi felt dizzy and didn’t even think about heating it up, so she just ate it.

"Brother, how much can you drink?"

"Mostly half a bottle, it should be fine." Xu Mingyuan said, pointing at the bottle.

"So many?" Yang Zhi was a little surprised.

"It's not much, it's okay."

"Like This……"

Yang Zhi felt so stupid. She became dizzy after taking a small sip. It was simply a fantasy to want to give her brother more.

If you can’t get your brother drunk, you can get yourself drunk…

Yang Zhi took another sip secretly while Xu Mingyuan was not paying attention.

When Xu Mingyuan went to the living room to get his cell phone, he saw Xiao Yangzhi lying on the table.

"Damn it, Xiao Yangzhi! Are you allergic to alcohol?"

Xu Mingyuan was startled and ran over quickly. Looking at the empty teacup, it must have been at least one or two cups.

"I, I couldn't taste it, so I took another sip..."

Although the effects of the alcohol came on quickly, they were not that fast. Yang Zhi just felt a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look up to see anyone.

Xu Mingyuan hurriedly rolled up her sleeves and examined her carefully.

The redness on Xiao Yangzhi's cheeks had spread to her neck, and her wrists also showed a beautiful blush, which disappeared into her clothes.

Seeing that there was no rash on her skin, Xu Mingyuan was relieved. He flicked her head speechlessly, picked her up and threw her on her bed.

Xu Mingyuan was worried that she would wet the bed, so he didn't dare turn on the electric blanket for her and just covered her with an extra quilt.

After he left, Yang Zhi opened her eyes and stared at the closed door in a daze.

After a while, the door opened again.

At this time, Yang Zhi was a little nervous. He stared at each other for two seconds before he remembered to close his eyes.

"You are so bold. I will settle the score with you tomorrow."

Seeing that she looked afraid of being beaten, Xu Mingyuan smiled and stuffed a hot water bottle into her quilt.

"..."

Yang Zhi didn't say anything.

Normally, her answer would be that she would never dare to do it again. But today, with the courage of the alcohol, she did not say it...
