Chapter 222 Tried and tested
Tao Shuxin didn't have any intention of doing so. Xu Mingyuan saw that she was acting mysterious and thought they could find a good place to go. But who would have thought that she was taking Xiao Yangzhi to play ring tossing and air rifle shooting.

A few months ago during the National Day holiday, Xu Mingyuan took her to the amusement park, but she was not interested in those things. Even the bumper cars, which she liked to play, she would get bored after the third time at most.

Tao Shuxin spent more than 20 yuan and only won a palm-sized, chubby-looking rogue rabbit. He immediately cheered and showed off by raising his hand to the two men.

Yang Zhi stole a glance at Xu Mingyuan and saw that he had a helpless look on his face. He looked at Tao Shuxin as if she were a fool. He also kept a cold look and looked at the fool together.

Xiao Yangzhi was wearing a mask and a hat, with only a pair of clear eyes showing. Tao Shuxin could not see anything unusual.

He kicked Xu Mingyuan's calf, held the rogue rabbit in front of Xiao Yangzhi and said, "Isn't it cute? I've had my eyes on it for a long time. I'm giving it to you."

"Rogue rabbit? With that expressionless face, it looks a bit like Xiao Yangzhi." Xu Mingyuan interrupted and laughed.

"You're such a good judge of others. How cute! What kind of vision do you have?" Tao Shuxin complained, and then said to Xiao Yangzhi: "Don't listen to your brother. He never says anything good."

"Thank you."

It was not easy to refuse in front of Xu Mingyuan, so Yang Zhi put it in his pocket.

……

New Year, new beginning. I took Xiao Yangzhi out, mainly to buy her some new clothes.

Xu Mingyuan doesn't care whether he celebrates the New Year or not, but Xiao Yangzhi does. So, go out and buy it in advance, so as to avoid the crowds and buy it later.

In recent days, Xu Mingyuan accompanied Tao Shuxin to finish the second subject test and then sent her back to her grandfather's house.

Then I went to Jiangcheng to inform the company that the annual meeting must be kept simple. Give employees some money, draw some prizes, and end it as soon as possible. If the program leaders are willing to organize performances, they can go. If anyone wants to perform in front of the leaders, then let Yao Jianhui perform. Xu Mingyuan will not watch it.

He knew very well that the company's annual meeting with employees asking them to perform was not to promote corporate culture but to conduct obedience tests.

It would be better to just give out bonuses directly. It would benefit you, me and everyone. The factory works overtime all day long, and Xu Mingyuan also wants to be scolded less.

Yang Zhi let out a long sigh. She was finally happy.

It’s not that she doesn’t like going out, but she only wants to go out with her brother.

It’s a pity that her brother would ask Tao Shuxin to join him most of the time, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Yang Zhi understood why her brother asked her to come along, because he was afraid that she would be lonely without any friends.

In fact, some classmates asked her to go out and play, such as Jiang Xue who came to the city from the town. When Yang Zhi received the call, she just refused with a few simple words.

It would be better to spend more time in front of her brother. Even if Tao Shuxin is there, Yang Zhi doesn't have the leisure to wander around with her classmates.

In terms of safety, I am not as secure as having my brother around, not to mention that I see my classmates every day during school. The time spent with my brother is not as precious.

It was a rare opportunity to be alone outdoors, so Yang Zhi aimed at Xu Mingyuan's pocket and secretly took off his gloves, exposing his slender little hands completely to the cold air.

In less than a minute, his fingers had turned cold, and he quickly stuffed them into Xu Mingyuan's pocket.

"Why are your hands so cold?"

The back of Xu Mingyuan's hand was touched by the cold fingertips. He frowned and glanced at her. Seeing that her other hand was in her pocket, he was puzzled.

He had taken Xiao Yangzhi to several medical checkups this year, both at the city hospital and the Chinese medicine hospital. She had no serious illness except for a little anemia. Why was she so weak?

"Um……"

Knowing that he had gone too far, Yang Zhi shrank his head, hesitating and not giving a clear answer.

Fortunately, her brother did not dwell on this for long, and her cold little hand was soon held in a warm palm.

Yang Zhi liked the feeling of walking slowly and leisurely on the street.

It would be better if there were fewer people around, like last year, when we walked home together in the night under heavy snow and didn’t meet many people.

It’s a pity that I didn’t have the courage to do anything at that time, and I just got hit on the head by my brother.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhi inexplicably wanted to laugh.

Yang Zhi, with a smile on her face, came back to her senses and glanced to the side. She quietly retracted her slightly sweaty palm and walked to the other side silently.

Just like what happened ten minutes ago, he took off his gloves and stuffed them into his pockets.

"Eh? Your hand is quite warm, it's amazing."

Xu Mingyuan rubbed the soft and boneless fingers, then simply put them in his pocket and ignored them.

"Um……"

Yang Zhi bit her lips lightly, not knowing how to explain, so she just pretended to be stupid.

But I have already made a secret note of it in my heart, and I will not make such a stupid mistake again next time...

I found a beverage shop and ordered a full cup of hot milk tea for Xiao Yangzhi.

Junk drinks with high calories and lots of impurities are not good for the body, but for Xiao Yangzhi, any chance to gain weight must be given to her.

Yang Zhi took off half of her mask, bit the straw, sipped the milk tea in the cup, and occasionally sucked a black pearl into her mouth, chewing it carefully until there was no taste, and then swallowing it.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan staring at him and sipping milk tea, he seemed to be thinking about something.

Yang Zhi pursed her lips, pushed the milk tea over, and whispered, "Brother, do you want some?"

"Hmm? If you don't drink it, your saliva will become stringy."

Xu Mingyuan, who was thinking about something, was pulled back to reality by her and waved his hand and said.

"..." Yang Zhi was stunned, and explained with a rosy face: "It's not saliva, it's milk tea."

"Do you think I didn't see it? I was watching." Xu Mingyuan said.

Yang Zhi took back the milk tea and rubbed the straw with her fingers, then pushed it over and said, "Wipe it clean..."

"I don't dislike you, I just don't like drinking."

"Oh……"

Yang Zhi lowered his head.

Xu Mingyuan was somewhat speechless. He took a big sip, sucked a mouthful of tasteless pearls, and then returned it to her.

I don't know if Xiao Yangzhi wiped it clean or not, but he felt that the mouth of the straw was slightly wet. Yangzhi continued to hold the milk tea to warm his hands and take a sip from time to time.

But Xu Mingyuan no longer looked at her, but was looking at the passers-by around him.

"Brother, do you want to drink more?" Yang Zhi asked in a low voice.

"How much do you weigh now?"

Seeing that there was almost some of Xiao Yangzhi's milk tea left, Xu Mingyuan shook his head and asked.

"About 95 or 96 kilograms." Yang Zhi replied.

"Oh? You weigh more than 90 kilograms? Did you measure it while wearing clothes?" Xu Mingyuan said in surprise.

"Yes, I measured it while wearing a sweater and trousers."

There is a scale at home, and Yang Zhi measures herself from time to time.

"Then you must be at least 90 kilograms." Xu Mingyuan sighed, and continued, "It's so fast, I thought you were still around 80 kilograms. Okay, it would be better if you could gain another 10 kilograms."

Xiao Yangzhi is nearly 1.7 meters tall, and her weight should be kept at 120 kilograms. But she can't gain weight, so it would be great if she can gain another 10 kilograms.

At that time, Xu Mingyuan's mission was completed.

"You'll grow up eventually."

Yang Zhi was a little happy. She straightened her back and raised her head, looking around like Xu Mingyuan, and seemed to have some mature temperament.

"Yes."

Xu Mingyuan praised it verbally, but he felt inexplicably emotional in his heart.

"Uh-huh."

Yang Zhi nodded repeatedly to show her agreement.

"Hey, do you still keep the photos from last year? Show them to me." Xu Mingyuan said.

"Oh, okay. Brother, wait a moment, I'll look for it first..."

Yang Zhi quickly took out her cell phone. She had taken many secretly taken photos in her album, and she definitely couldn't let her brother find out.

After saving some photos in the memory card and leaving only the photos with his brother in the album, Yang Zhi handed over his mobile phone.

I am afraid that my brother will discover my little secret, but I am also looking forward to what he will do if he finds out?
Xiao Yangzhi didn't feel uneasy for long. Xu Mingyuan was not very curious and didn't think that such a well-behaved girl would have anything shameful in her cell phone.

I was just looking through photos of the two of them until I came across the first one.

I remember this photo was taken more than a year ago. It seemed like it was just after winter and little Yangzhi was still wearing a silly rabbit ear velvet hat.

At that time she was shy and didn't like to wear it, and later she didn't know where it was lost. Anyway, she didn't see it this winter.

Xu Mingyuan looked down at the photo, then looked up at the little Yangzhi in front of him, back and forth several times.

When Xiao Yangzhi's face was filled with confusion and puzzlement, Xu Mingyuan finally put down his phone and said with a sigh, "Girls really change a lot when they grow up. They change so much."

The phone only has 30 pixels, but the overall outline can still be seen clearly.

Because of the blurry pixels, Xiao Yangzhi at that time was as thin as a stick, and had a bit of immature and non-mainstream feel.

But now it is different. The pure and cold white face has a rosy color and a hint of elegant moisture. It is no longer as cold as before.

In fact, what Xu Mingyuan didn’t know was that Xiao Yangzhi was still the same, but she was much better in front of him.

"Really? Brother, have you become prettier or uglier?" Yang Zhi asked hopefully.

"Of course it's beautiful." Xu Mingyuan replied without hesitation.

"Uh-huh."

Yangzhi's smile is as beautiful as a flower.

"You are a grown-up girl now. Don't be ashamed to cling to others in the future." Xu Mingyuan said with a frown.

The delicate smile on Yang Zhi's face froze instantly. After struggling for a long time, she whispered, "Brother, there are only two of us at home. I can't do anything..."

"Let's go, I'll take you to buy a new phone."

Xu Mingyuan had a headache. He pinched her little face, threw away the milk tea cup in her hand that she had forgotten to throw away because she was in a daze, and took Xiao Yangzhi away from her seat.

"Brother, my phone is not broken, I don't need to buy a new one."

"It's been a year since I started using it. Nowadays, mobile phones are updated very quickly, so it's time to change. What style do you like? A slider, a candy bar, or should I continue to use a flip phone?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

Xiao Yangzhi's phone was well protected and had no bumps or scratches. But after all, it was made of plastic, so the buttons were worn out, the paint on the edges was peeling, and the battery was not durable.

Yang Zhi pretended to think, and after a long while he raised his eyes and said, "I want a phone with higher pixels."

"It's strange, why do girls like high-pixel mobile phones? Eh? I never see you taking selfies normally." Xu Mingyuan said.

“Sometimes I do.”

"Have you deleted them all?"

"I didn't think the selfie looked good, so I deleted it..."

Yang Zhi kept rubbing her fingers and responded in a low voice.

"It looks good, but you're so shameless? You're too embarrassed to take selfies? Let's go buy a phone with better pixels and take more pictures in the future." Xu Mingyuan said casually.

"Ah."

Seeing that he did not ask about this matter, Yang Zhi felt relieved, but also nervous.

I just heard my brother tell me not to bother him...

At this time, you need to do some small actions, such as making your hands cool.

It works every time and is very easy to use...
