Chapter 270 Scheming
Chapter 270 Scheming
The buzzing sound of the hair dryer echoed in the small bathroom.
Xu Mingyuan gently pulled the black hair and patiently helped blow it dry.
Xu Mingyuan was no longer a young man, and what he lacked the least was patience. Without any impatience, he carefully observed the girl's hair, rubbing her hair tips that had no split ends and represented youthful vigor.
This kind of calm and patient behavior of focusing all attention on the hair is very popular among little girls, especially those like Tao Shuxin who have a silly love-brained mind.
Tao Shuxin carefully applied the mask. She saw Xu Mingyuan fiddling with his hair through the mirror, so she leaned back, her back against his chest, and said softly, "Xiaoyuanyuan, tell me, we live together, will my mother find out?"
"what?"
Xu Mingyuan didn't hear what she said clearly and turned off the noisy hair dryer.
"Oh, I wonder if mom will know that we live together."
The peaceful atmosphere was broken, and Tao Shuxin repeated it again with a pout.
"Haha, you should know." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"What? No way!"
Tao Shuxin was startled and turned around suddenly.
The little girl with the facial mask on only showed her facial features, her mouth was open and her eyes were wide open.
"What do you think?" Xu Mingyuan asked back.
"Don't scare me! Mom will beat me to death!"
Tao Shuxin's heart was pounding.
"Why should I scare you? The mentality of being a parent and a child is different. The child has grown up, and you can let go just like that. Do you still think of yourself as a child?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
The silly girl is too guilty to hide the truth, and she will reveal it herself even if her mother doesn't want to find out.
"Impossible! My mother is very strict with me. She only allowed me to date after I graduated from university!" Tao Shuxin said seriously.
"You haven't even started college yet, but you're still dating?"
Xu Mingyuan hugged her and took a deep breath of the fragrance.
"That's different."
Tao Shuxin's delicate neck felt itchy from being rubbed, and she shivered involuntarily and quickly dodged.
"What's the difference?"
"Because, because... Oh! I'm a girl." Tao Shuxin said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Think about it, didn't Teacher He often tell you to protect yourself?"
Xu Mingyuan helped the little girl smooth out the facial mask that was wrinkled due to panic, but he was not so careful and almost tore off her mask.
"Hmm...no? It seems like I haven't said that in a long time."
Tao Shuxin turned her head to look at Xu Mingyuan and didn't notice herself in the mirror.
"Really? You said it a long time ago? When was the last time?" Xu Mingyuan said with some surprise.
Tao Shuxin rolled his eyes and said thoughtfully, "Oh, at least two months..."
"Haha, that's almost certain. Teacher He discovered it a long time ago, but he just couldn't say it out loud."
Xu Mingyuan smiled, turned her body towards him, and kissed her rosy lips.
"You're just talking nonsense. If my mother knew about this, she would have rushed to Jiangda to find me!" Tao Shuxin said in panic.
"You underestimate Teacher He. She has been working in the school for more than 20 years. What has she not seen? With your cunning mind, you can find out everything with just a phone call."
Xu Mingyuan pulled Tao Shuxin out, and the little girl was foolishly pulled away from the mirror.
"Ah? Mom knows that we have a house outside?"
"I don't think you know this, but since I'm a day student now, I definitely know that you'll come and stay here on Saturdays and Sundays. But from Monday to Friday, Teacher He didn't expect that you would be so bold as to skip the dormitory and stay out all night." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"It's all your fault. You've forced me to come here every time!"
Tao Shuxin became so angry out of shame that she punched him on the back.
It's like this every time. Before I even agree, this bastard calls my counselor and forces me to come out and spend the night with him.
Xu Mingyuan did not expose this little girl who said one thing and meant another, but if he told Tao Shuxin, "Aren't you happy with it?" Then she would definitely move herself to another bedroom in a way that would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt herself by eight hundred.
Tao Shuxin herself was also thinking about the accuracy of Xu Mingyuan's words, wondering if her mother had already agreed to live together. Before she knew it, she was imprisoned in his arms.
"Oh, look at what you've done to the mask."
Tao Shuxin finally discovered that the facial mask on her face was pulled crooked by Xu Mingyuan, so she had to push him away and take out a small mirror to adjust it.
"Your face is delicate and tender, do you need to use a facial mask?"
Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh. Now there was no way he could take the silly little girl back to her room.
Once Tao Shuxin puts on a facial mask, she can't move for half an hour. Then she applies a toner treatment, and it takes an hour just to be beautiful.
She is not like Xiao Yangzhi at all, who would wash her face with soap and then run out, afraid of wasting a single minute of their time together.
"What do you know? Girls need to protect their skin and moisturize it regularly. This is the seaweed mask that Linlin brought me. It's imported from abroad. It's very valuable."
Tao Shuxin carefully smoothed the wrinkles on the mask, and was very unhappy with Xu Mingyuan's perfunctory attitude. Isn't it because of you that I do this? You don't care at all, huh!
Tao Shuxin turned on the TV and let him use him as a pillow. She pouted and whined, "Don't move around. If you mess it up again, I'll be angry."
"Your skin is so good. I haven't seen many girls with more delicate skin than yours." Xu Mingyuan shook his head and said.
"You're kidding me. I'm not talking about the girls in school. I'm just looking at your sister's face. Wow, it looks like she doesn't even have pores!" Tao Shuxin said seriously.
"You are already beautiful enough, why are you looking at Xiao Yangzhi? She is naturally beautiful. You know what, her mother looks quite young. She is almost 40 years old, but she looks like she is only 27 or 28 years old."
"Really? Then don't I need to be protected more? Hey, what does your sister usually do? It's impossible that she is born with this condition." Tao Shuxin turned her head and asked. "Well, she doesn't like to exercise much. Maybe she eats light food. She likes to eat clear soup noodles and crispy pickles all day. She doesn't like to eat meat much, doesn't eat any snacks, and eats at most two apples a day." Xu Mingyuan thought for a while and said.
"Ah? You don't even want to eat snacks? That would make it less fun..."
Upon hearing this, Tao Shuxin was immediately conflicted. After all, one of her biggest hobbies was to satisfy her appetite.
"Xiao Yangzhi is a bored little girl. She eats little and moves little. She is like a little turtle, hiding at home every day as if preparing for hibernation." Xu Mingyuan smiled helplessly.
"How could you say such bad things about your sister behind her back?" Tao Shuxin said with eyes wide open.
"Evaluation? Besides, didn't I learn it from you?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"You're just talking nonsense. Oh, by the way, let me tell you, something happened in our class group again..."
Inspired by Xu Mingyuan, Tao Shuxin also became interested. With excitement in her eyes, she started talking about class gossip.
In a class with more girls, there are endless trivialities to talk about, especially after a year of getting along, everyone is familiar with each other and their true nature is almost completely exposed.
With Xu Mingyuan's care, the little girl no longer grows up as independently as she used to. Without the soil to cultivate her maturity, she continues to maintain her innocent and lovely character.
Although he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, Xu Mingyuan felt that being heartless and happy was good enough.
Of course, he also had selfish motives. He wanted the little girl to remain innocent and cute so that nothing could be seen.
Sometimes Xu Mingyuan also felt that he was quite worthless...
"Hey, why hasn't your sister called you yet?"
Tao Shuxin saw that it was already half past ten and there was no call, and suddenly she felt a little strange.
"Didn't we fight in the afternoon?" Xu Mingyuan said casually.
"Isn't that right? Didn't you say that if you don't call her to urge her to rest, she will study until late at night?"
"Well, she won't listen even if I tell her." Xu Mingyuan laughed dryly.
"Really? How about I call and ask?"
"No need. She's already grown up and she knows when to rest." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Oh, that's right. She is already in her second year of high school." Tao Shuxin nodded.
Xu Mingyuan didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he leaned close to her ear and said with a smile: "Hey, we should take a break too."
"Get out of the way, I won't!"
When Tao Shuxin saw the evil smile on his face, she knew something bad was going to happen and struggled to get up.
Xu Mingyuan didn't move either. He just watched her toss and turn without getting up. Until her ears and lips started to turn red, he knew he shouldn't tease her anymore and simply picked her up.
"Get up, get up. Don't hold me. I still need to wash my face..."
Tao Shuxin was like a fish that had jumped onto the shore, kicking and struggling non-stop to show his unwillingness. He forced him to do everything.
Xu Mingyuan accompanied her in acting. Although he had seen the little girl's reluctant look countless times, he still couldn't help laughing.
……
A few days later, when Tao Shuxin returned to his home again, he suddenly found something different in the room.
"Hey, Xu Mingyuan, when did you hang the bell?"
Today, all the windows were opened for ventilation. When Tao Shuxin heard the crisp sound of wind chimes, he noticed a small bell hanging on the wooden partition.
"How is it? The colors match very well. You haven't seen it for so long." Xu Mingyuan said casually.
"Yeah, not bad."
Tao Shuxin stood on tiptoe, trying to touch it, but couldn't.
She was shorter than Xiao Yangzhi, and her arms were shorter, so she couldn't reach it. Seeing Tao Shuxin jumping and poking the wind chime, Xu Mingyuan was stunned.
Did the little Yangzhi hang so high on purpose? Just to prevent Tao Shuxin from touching it?
"hiss……"
Xu Mingyuan took a breath of cold air. If this was true, this little girl was quite scheming.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Mingyuan frowned, thinking that Xiao Yangzhi deserved to be beaten, so he frowned and wanted to untie him.
"Hey! What are you doing untying the rope?"
Seeing Xu Mingyuan unbuttoning his clothes, Tao Shuxin grabbed him.
"Hang lower, aren't you tired of jumping around?"
"Oh, it's hanging right in the middle now! It won't look good if it's hung somewhere else."
Tao Shuxin reached out and stopped the careless guy.
"Is it?"
Xu Mingyuan took a few steps back and watched the wind chimes swaying in the wind. It seemed that this was the case.
Little Yangzhi is still very well-behaved and shouldn't be so scheming.
Xu Mingyuan nodded and chose to let Xiao Yangzhi go.
Yang Zhi, who was writing the test paper, suddenly sneezed and felt a little strange because it was very warm today.
But she didn't know that her little action was noticed...
