Chapter 242 Anxiety

Chapter 242 Anxiety
The thoughts of adults are like a pool of water. As they become more mature psychologically, they become more and more dry and can never be filled.

But the young body is like a pile of dry firewood. It does not need any oil. Once it encounters the slightest spark, it will burst into flames.

Xu Mingyuan is not a perfect person, but if he were to start over again, he would always want to do everything to the best of his ability.

Having known Tao Shuxin for many years, Xu Mingyuan once had a place to spend time, but now he can only suppress his anxious heart.

"Can you help me pull it? You have no tact at all, huh."

Tao Shuxin turned her head and saw Xu Mingyuan standing next to her, staring blankly. She gave him a displeased look.
The little girl is very tactless and she even says that others are tactless.

The air conditioner blew warm air for half a day, and the perceived temperature in the room gradually became warmer and more comfortable.

The little girl was still doing the finishing work. She was only wearing a tight sweater and trousers. She was kneeling on the mattress, adjusting the sheets, and showing off her smooth curves as if no one was around.

After being with Xu Mingyuan for a long time, Tao Shuxin's vigilance had long been worn out. Little did she know that when Xu Mingyuan took away her first kiss, she was not prepared in advance.

Xiao Yangzhi has a gentle and slow personality. With day-to-day contact with her, Xu Mingyuan's mentality has become more peaceful, and his pursuit has not been so careless and frivolous.

The little girl kept mumbling to herself, as if she had endless things to say.

After making the bed sheets, he took out a newly bought quilt from the bag, asked Xu Mingyuan to help hold it, and jumped around to shake the cotton inside the quilt.

After finally tidying up the two bedrooms, Tao Shuxin bounced a few times on the Simmons mattress, then let out a long, contented sigh.

This bastard knows how to enjoy himself. He insisted on buying an expensive mattress, which is neither too soft nor too hard, just the right size. It is more comfortable than the one he has at home.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan also lying down, Tao Shuxin gave up half of her pillow.

"Which bedroom do you want to choose?" Tao Shuxin asked.

"It doesn't matter to me. Which one do you choose?" Xu Mingyuan answered casually.

"Then I'll take the one on the sunny side."

Tao Shuxin shook her head happily.

All the rooms are designed according to my own preferences, with warm colors, which look very pleasing to the eye. In fact, it doesn’t matter which one you choose, but this room is warmer.

"Okay." Xu Mingyuan nodded.

"You're going to live in the north room?"

"No, the north room is for the children." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Just go and die!"

Tao Shuxin's pretty face turned red. Xu Mingyuan was staring at her. She felt that the sunny smile on his face seemed to have a bit of a naughty taste.

It might be an illusion. Tao Shuxin used to like his naughty personality, but later she found that she actually liked his calm temperament more. It was quite comfortable to get along with him.

Suddenly seeing his naughty look again, her heart started pounding. Seeing him approaching, Tao Shuxin quickly closed her eyes.

The touch of the lips was light and soft, without any unnecessary movements.

Tao Shuxin relaxed, cooperated with his actions, and pursed her lips gently.

When Xu Mingyuan was leaving, he saw the little girl pouting and moving forward, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Annoying!"

Tao Shuxin was so embarrassed and angry that she didn't want to pay any more attention to him.

Why did you leave so early this time? I didn't even have time to react!
Xu Mingyuan hugged the shy little girl. After a busy day, both of them were exhausted.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan silent, Tao Shuxin, who had been talking restlessly, let out a long sigh.

"What are you worried about?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Alas, we are the only ones who know about this little home." Tao Shuxin said sadly.

"Do you want to promote it? I don't mind anyway, or I'll call someone we know right now."

"Oh, that's not what I meant!"

When Tao Shuxin saw Xu Mingyuan was about to take out his cell phone, she hurriedly tried to stop him.

But when she saw that he was also wearing a sweater without any pockets, Tao Shuxin realized that she was being teased and slapped him angrily.

"It's neither this nor that. What do you mean?" Xu Mingyuan asked in confusion.

"Hey!" Tao Shuxin turned around, looked at Xu Mingyuan seriously, and said, "We just moved into a new home. If we tell our acquaintances later, will they still give us money as gifts?"

Xu Mingyuan was stunned, stunned by her magical train of thought. This silly girl always thought of some weird things that made people laugh.

"Hahaha……"

"What are you laughing at? I'm serious!"

Tao Shuxin kicked her calves wildly in shame and anger because the way to make money that she had worked so hard to find was actually laughed at by Xu Mingyuan.

"How much can you charge for the membership fee? Or how about giving me a shoulder massage and leg pounding? Just make some pocket money from me."

"How can it be the same?" Tao Shuxin pushed his chest and said with a pout, "Tsk, I might as well ask my parents directly."

"We have enough food and clothing, so it's useless to keep thinking about these things." Xu Mingyuan shook his head and quietly changed the subject: "Hey, what are you going to eat tonight?"

Xu Mingyuan knew very well that the little girl felt a little pressured when she saw him doing things.

But Tao Shuxin's personality is not suitable for a career, and she is still in school, so she doesn't have the time to do these things.

Xu Mingyuan felt that even if she was assigned a management position after graduation, she would probably get bored after working for a while.

Isn't it good to be happy? One day she will be well behaved if she has a child.

"In the evening?" Tao Shuxin rubbed her stomach. She was a little hungry after working all afternoon. "Let's have hot pot at home? Buy some meat, seafood and vegetables, and cook them and we can eat."

Tao Shuxin thought about it and thought this was a very good plan.

"There's not even an induction cooker in the kitchen. How about we wait until tomorrow? Let's go to the restaurant and order some food today."

At this time, the small family lacked a lot of things, like there was a TV in the living room, but it wasn't even wired. The Internet cable was installed in advance, after all, the broadband service center was much faster than the TV station.

"Hmm..." Tao Shuxin hesitated for a long time before nodding and standing up and saying, "Okay, go put on your coat, and come back soon."

As they talked, they went downstairs to eat.

There were only lunch boxes but no bowls and chopsticks. The dinner on the first day of moving was indeed a bit simple. Seeing that Xu Mingyuan did not clean up the restaurant immediately after returning to his home, but went to the room to open his backpack to look for something, Tao Shuxin followed him curiously.

"for you."

Xu Mingyuan took out a bottle of red wine from his backpack and handed it over.

"Oh my god, why do you have wine in your bag?"

Tao Shuxin was shocked when she took it.

"Didn't you say I don't bring anything from home? Look, did I bring this?"

"Hiss...you have bad intentions, don't you?"

Tao Shuxin narrowed her eyes and looked him up and down.

"Don't pretend. This is just a 700-plus milliliters bottle of wine. Can I give you more?"

"Hey, you're not going to put something in there, are you?" Tao Shuxin asked suspiciously.

"Have you watched too many movies? How about I try the poison on you first?" Xu Mingyuan said helplessly and amusedly.

"Tsk, I don't think you dare." Tao Shuxin rolled her eyes, and when she saw that the degree of the candle was not high, she felt relieved, and then sighed, "It's a pity that there are no candles."

"Who said there isn't one?"

Xu Mingyuan threw over a small bag containing a few red candles that were always kept at home to prevent power outages.

"You've prepared very carefully. I'll give you a reward, okay?"

Tao Shuxin kissed him on the face, and could no longer suppress the smile on her face. Although it looked a bit crude, the feeling in her heart was countless times stronger than before.

The naive little girl just liked these useless rituals, so Xu Mingyuan had to try his best to satisfy her.

Tao Shuxin took out the oversized crystal glass she brought from home and poured two glasses of wine into them like she was pouring draft beer. Without evenly mixing the wine, she pushed the slightly larger portion to Xu Mingyuan.

The two chatted first, and after Tao Shuxin drank a few sips of wine, her face turned a beautiful red. When she was with Tao Shuxin, candlelight dinners were nonsense.

Not long after, Tao Shuxin pulled out the chair beside him and put his legs up, scratched himself with his hands in a very ungraceful manner, and played finger-guessing games with Xu Mingyuan while yelling at him. When there was no wine left, he gave him drinks, and filled his stomach with mineral water.

After dinner, the two of them played on the computer together for a while.

Tao Shuxin originally thought that Xu Mingyuan wanted to get her drunk and then do something bad, but she didn't expect that after the alcohol wore off, he still hadn't made any move.

This was not the first time that Tao Shuxin lived with Xu Mingyuan, but it was her first time in their small home and she felt the atmosphere around them was a little ambiguous.

Especially when Xu Mingyuan went to wash up.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan wiping his wet hair, Tao Shuxin glanced at him, made a "hush" gesture at the corner of her mouth, and continued to call home.

Xu Mingyuan did not disturb her. After seeing Xiao Yangzhi's text message, he called her and listened to her talk about what happened at school today.

Soon, both of them finished their respective tasks.

Xu Mingyuan continued chatting with her. Seeing that it was already half past eleven and the girl had no intention of ending the chat, he simply turned off the lights and picked her up.

"What are you doing?"

Tao Shuxin, who was carried in the princess's arms in the dark, was a little panicked.

"You got up early today and didn't take a nap. Aren't you sleepy?"

Then he threw her onto the soft mattress.

"You go to that room."

Tao Shuxin bounced twice on the mattress and pointed at the door angrily.

"Don't go."

"Then I'll go."

Tao Shuxin was about to get up, but was held back.

He gently touched her soft lips and tasted the faint sweet aroma of red wine. Seeing that she was quiet, Xu Mingyuan smiled and said, "You have gained more than ten pounds during this holiday, right?"

"You're talking nonsense! Where am I fat?"

When Tao Shuxin heard that she was fat, she immediately jumped up and down.

Although I gained two pounds during the Chinese New Year, I have lost it back a long time ago, okay? It's not as exaggerated as more than ten pounds!

"Look, my belly is swollen."

Xu Mingyuan pinched her belly.

"I ate a lot of dinner."

Tao Shuxin slapped his mischievous hand away.

"Really? Let me check, I'm really fat."

"Hiss!" Tao Shuxin pinched his hand fiercely and pulled it down, saying shyly and annoyedly: "Who asked you to check..."

His attitude was strong, but his tone gradually weakened.

As Xu Mingyuan's hand was placed in the safe area behind her, Tao Shuxin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the breath didn't last long.

With a 'click' sound in the silent environment, Tao Shuxin's chest relaxed, but breathing became more difficult.

"Get up, I haven't taken a shower..."

"You showered last night. That's the shower gel you usually use."

Xu Mingyuan's breath hit her delicate neck, making her tremble slightly.

Tao Shuxin kept saying words of resistance but she couldn't muster any strength. She just raised her legs slightly to cooperate with his movements.

Once the little girl's weakness is caught, she will be bullied miserably...
