Chapter 291 The Simplest Thing
Chapter 291 The Simplest Thing
What Xu Mingyuan hated most was having dinner with a group of little girls.
It would be fine if there were other boys, but in an occasion where there are more girls than boys, a group of young girls drank a few sips of beer and talked about more fancy topics than the boys.
If Xu Mingyuan was seen to be embarrassed, the topic would definitely revolve around him, from top to bottom, inside and outside, and everyone would talk about how much he blushed.
However, Xu Mingyuan's indifferent attitude was enough to deal with a girl in her twenties. If it weren't for Tao Shuxin being around, he could have chatted with her.
Every time he has a holiday, he has to attend several gatherings of Tao Shuxin and her sisters. Xu Mingyuan has become accustomed to these things.
In another two years, all of her little sisters will have gone their separate ways and left, and they will all have their own lives, and it will be difficult to get together again.
School is about to start, and Tao Shuxin has money in his pocket. He starts to act like a rich man and even goes to the KTV next door to sing after dinner.
However, it is not as convenient to have a party in Jiangcheng as it is in Nanxi. Everyone has to go to school, so the party was arranged at noon for this reason. They are all young girls, so they definitely don’t have the freedom that boys have, and safety is also a factor that must be considered.
Although I couldn't resist Tao Shuxin's enthusiasm and went to KTV, there were only young girls there, so they didn't drink that much, and everyone just tried it lightly. When we got to the karaoke bar, we didn't order any more drinks, but just some drinks and fruit plates, cracked melon seeds together, and howled a few times to vent our feelings for the new semester.
It wasn't even evening yet and everyone was busy with a lot of things to do at school in the new semester. They didn't plan to eat or drink in the evening, so Tao Shuxin sent them to a taxi and reimbursed them for the fare back to school.
In fact, Tao Shuxin came here today mainly to bring her best friend Tang Lin to play, as well as her classmates.
"Tang Lin, you're going to school tomorrow, but you didn't take your suitcase?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"Linlin always mails her luggage, why is she taking a suitcase?"
Before Tang Lin could answer, Tao Shuxin spoke first.
"You're capable of this. You're worthy of being a young lady. You don't even carry your own luggage?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"How can I be considered a young lady? How much money does my family have? I can't even compare with you, let alone Taotao." Tang Lin replied with a smile.
"Not as good as you? Among the people in our class seven, I think you live the most carefree life." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
Tang Lin, who was raised in luxury since childhood, returned to the nature of a rich girl when she went to university. Her clothes and shoes were all relatively niche light luxury goods. She had enough pocket money every month, and when she ran out of money, she would ask her family for it. She was much freer than the honest Tao Shuxin.
Every family has a different way of education. Tao Shuxin's mother is engaged in education, so she naturally educated her to be a hardworking and frugal child, and she also has a stronger character.
Tang Lin's life was very happy. She never experienced a life of lack of food and clothing, and her life was always smooth. When she reached the age, she obeyed her family and married a rich man with good character. She continued to be a rich wife who didn't have to worry about anything, and spent her life eating, drinking and having fun.
"I'm cool? Stop making fun of me. You guys are cool. You've been dating since high school all the way to college. You're more enviable than Li Siqi and Jiang Ping. Hey! I heard from Taotao that you guys bought a house? Take me to see it quickly. You guys hid it so well that you didn't even tell me." Tang Lin complained.
"Didn't I tell you? I'm telling you, you're the first one among us to know this, so you mustn't spread it around. If my mom gets wind of it, I'll be finished!"
Tao Shuxin pulled Tang Lin's collar and reminded her nervously.
"Don't worry, I'm keeping my mouth shut!"
Tang Lin patted his chest and made the promise.
"You'd better be strict!"
As a good sister who had grown up with her, Tao Shuxin knew that Tang Lin was a big mouth, but she still trusted her on some things.
In fact, Tao Shuxin was secretly looking forward to it, thinking that there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. She was too embarrassed to say it out loud, but it would be nice if her sisters could spread it. There would always be such a day anyway.
When Tao Shuxin got up in the morning, she cleaned the house.
The room wasn't dirty to begin with, she just swept the floor and put away the scattered pillows, and the room looked very clean.
"Tao Shuxin, you guys are amazing. You're already living together? When are you planning to get married?"
As soon as Tang Lin entered the house, she forgot to call Tao Shuxin by her nickname and just called her by her full name. She thought it was just an ordinary house, but she didn't expect the decoration to be so girly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We haven't even started yet." Although Tao Shuxin said this, he boasted proudly, "How is it? Not bad, right?"
"Yeah, that's pretty good." Tang Lin nodded in praise, then said to Xu Mingyuan, "I didn't expect you to be so good at coaxing a little girl. No wonder Tao Tao couldn't forget you when she was in high school."
"What do you mean by coaxing? This is called mutual affection." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Tao Tao is stupid to begin with, and you're still trying to coax her. Now she's hopeless."
Tang Lin spread his hands and shook his head with emotion.
"You are stupid!"
It would have been fine if Xu Mingyuan had always said that he was stupid, but when Tao Shuxin saw that the little sister was still talking about him, she immediately grabbed her and wanted to settle the score.
Although Tao Shuxin is not tall and looks petite and cute, she is much stronger than the pampered Tang Lin. She was pushed to the edge of the sofa and pinned down.
The two little girls were fighting and playing. Some called him to help, while others asked him to take care of their young wives, but Xu Mingyuan ignored them and went off to play on the computer.
After getting tired of playing around, Tao Shuxin took Tang Lin around for a tour.
Tao Shuxin, who was almost suffocating, could finally share her happiness, so she grabbed Tang Lin and kept nagging her.
"No way? Write both of your names?"
When Tang Lin saw the real estate certificate, her mouth opened wide.
"Yes." Tao Shuxin nodded.
"This, we found it right away. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by your uncle?"
Tang Lin read it several times and confirmed that it was true, then asked in astonishment.
"Alas, I was so distracted at the time that I was tricked by Xu Mingyuan into signing. Afterwards, there was nothing I could do."
Tao Shuxin pursed her lips and sighed. She was indeed fooled into signing. But she went to register voluntarily. How could she say this?
"We have known each other for more than ten years, and I just realized how brave you are." Tang Lin said with a strange look on his face.
"How could I have the courage? It was all Xu Mingyuan's instigation." Tao Shuxin said.
"That's right. When we first went to No. 3 Middle School, Xu Mingyuan was not an easy person to deal with. I think you have been led astray by him!"
"Nonsense, what's wrong with him?"
"Oh oh oh, now you're protecting Xu Mingyuan? You're forgetting your loyalty for the sake of a beautiful woman, right?" Tang Lin said sarcastically.
"So what? Are you not convinced? If you are not convinced, then find someone else."
Tao Shuxin raised his head proudly, snorted lightly, and looked very proud.
Tang Lin seemed a little speechless. Looking at the little sister who had played with her since she could remember, she suddenly felt as if she didn't know her. Wasn't she a smart girl before? How did she suddenly become love-brained?
It is said that girls who are in love will turn into fools, but Taotao is so silly that it is a bit outrageous. Looking at her eyes sparkling with little stars, Tang Lin couldn't help sighing.
When she was in high school, Tang Lin had no feelings towards Xu Mingyuan. At most, he was a bit popular among the passers-by, and she treated him no differently than any other classmate.
It was just because Xu Mingyuan always caused trouble for Tao Shuxin that Tang Lin paid more attention to him.
Moreover, Tang Lin felt that Xu Mingyuan was too much of a troublemaker. He was always doing bad things with his classmates. Although he had never bullied honest students, he was a mean person and not a good student.
After one year in high school, he suddenly changed his personality, started to study seriously, and suddenly became great and glorious.
The most important thing is that he has the ability to make such a big noise without making any noise.
On the surface, everyone only knew that Xu Mingyuan had created the Classmates.com, but Tang Lin's family was also connected with Xu Mingyuan. Knowing that he not only created the Classmates.com, but also wanted to invest heavily in building a factory was simply unbelievable.
Believe it or not, Xu Mingyuan is right in front of you. Although he looks no different from an ordinary person, he is ultimately an extremely smart person.
Compared with such a shrewd man, the silly girl Taotao will definitely be taken advantage of and will even have to help them count the money.
"Xu Mingyuan, what are you doing? I finally came to be your guest, why don't you come and entertain me personally?"
When Tang Lin opened the door, she saw Xu Mingyuan playing on the computer and couldn't help but complain.
"We are so familiar with each other, why not let Taotao receive us?" Xu Mingyuan said casually.
"How can that be the same? Come on, let me see what you are doing?"
Tang Lin is also a very outgoing person. Regardless of whether Xu Mingyuan is working or not, she would seize his computer.
I right-clicked my computer and was surprised to see the configuration list: "Wow, it still has 2G memory! Your computer configuration is so high, my computer at home only has 512M."
"It's okay, it's just a computer, right?"
Tao Shuxin seemed to be joining in, but the pride in her tone could not be hidden.
This is our space for two people, so we must choose the best things from home...
Xu Mingyuan found it a little funny. The little girl only knew about the memory size, but she still insisted on pretending that she knew a lot.
Tao Shuxin's arrogant look made Tang Lin speechless, so she grabbed her and started to play with her. "Some classmates in the class group found out that you had the same IP address. I asked you if you lived together, but you kept it a secret from me. You are not good sisters anymore!" Tang Lin grabbed her and tickled and pinched her.
"What are you doing? Didn't I bring you here? Hey, let go!"
Tao Shuxin was so angry that she wanted to beat her up, but when she saw Xu Mingyuan watching her, she couldn't tear her clothes off and could only endure the bullying.
Xu Mingyuan had no choice but to leave the seat to them and go somewhere else.
There were two bottles of red wine at home, which Tao Shuxin bought on a whim. At that time, she said she wanted to experience the atmosphere of a candlelight dinner, but she lost interest after the first time.
Tao Shuxin was not a particularly diligent girl, and she became even lazier after spending a long time with Xu Mingyuan. She would light candles and arrange flower petals, and then clean up after herself. It would be better to just eat something and have fun.
Tang Lin happened to be here today, so there was no need for Tao Shuxin to go downstairs to buy wine. He simply opened the bottle and insisted on getting the little sisters who were against him drunk.
"Let's go to the balcony and have a barbecue?" Tao Shuxin suggested.
"Well... it's good, but it's too hot. It must be over 30 degrees outside. If you want to eat barbecue, just order some skewers and eat them back."
Tang Lin was rather delicate and didn't want to suffer any punishment, so she spoke with some hesitation.
"Yeah, that's right. Xu Mingyuan, what do you think?"
Tao Shuxin is a girl with a strong opinion and she likes to come up with some bad ideas, but when she saw that her younger sister was unhappy, she looked at Xu Mingyuan.
Unconsciously, every time something happens, I know that he has the best ideas, so I let him make the decision.
"Let the restaurant deliver the food. If you want kebabs, order them after you finish eating."
Xu Mingyuan was too lazy to make any effort and just wanted to make do with the meal. They had been playing outside all day and didn't feel tired.
Tao Shuxin's best friend Tang Lin was inseparable during school. However, they went to college and lived in different places. She felt a little lost every time they parted.
I had originally been thinking about secretly getting Xu Mingyuan drunk, but after he took a few sips, I ignored him.
The topics the girls talked about were all about makeup, beauty, clothes and bags. Xu Mingyuan couldn't get a word in, so he just watched the two of them chatting, and occasionally when they called him, he would make some comments.
As the alcohol took effect, the girl became more open-minded and started chatting about some school gossip.
The university Tang Lin attends is just an ordinary one. There are terrible things happening on campus one after another, and the conflicts in the dormitory are no less than those in Tao Shuxin's.
However, Tang Lin has a strong personality and is not as friendly as Tao Shuxin. She also uses her financial advantage and is considered a big sister in her small circle. She is much more popular than Tao Shuxin.
"Xu Mingyuan, have you ever had an argument?" Tang Lin suddenly asked while chatting.
"No." Xu Mingyuan replied casually.
Tao Shuxin is just a lovely little girl, at most she just shows some little emotions of a love-stricken girl.
Xu Mingyuan had long been tamed by Xiao Yangzhi to become a calm and patient person, so he did not feel annoyed by Tao Shuxin's girlish nature. He only felt that his mentality had become as young as hers.
"How not!"
Tao Shuxin immediately became unhappy and accused Xu Mingyuan of lying.
"Is there?" Xu Mingyuan wondered.
"Yes! Linlin, let me tell you, he is so bad. If I eat some snacks secretly, he will complain to my mom."
Tao Shuxin seemed to be talking to Tang Lin, but her eyes were staring at Xu Mingyuan, accusing him of telling tales.
"How did I complain? Teacher He called me and asked me, how could I not tell the truth?"
Xu Mingyuan was speechless. How could this unfortunate child still remember this? He was almost dying of greed.
"You should say you don't know!"
"How dare you put it in your mouth in front of Teacher He's phone call? How can I lie to you?"
"Why don't you just say I'm not here?" Tao Shuxin said with a specious argument.
"Your mom heard you chewing potato chips, how can I say you weren't there?"
Xu Mingyuan shook his head. This unfortunate kid was just looking for trouble. It looked like he deserved a beating.
"Hey, hey, hey, you two can stop by. I'm still here. If you want to flirt, go away. Hey, why don't you stay away from people?"
Watching these two people chatting with each other, filling the air with the sour smell of love, Tang Lin felt a little toothache and his face became distorted.
"This is my home, you should go away." Tao Shuxin said sarcastically.
"Okay, Tao Shuxin, you're awesome. I'll leave now." Tang Lin pointed at her and said.
When Xu Mingyuan saw this scene, he left the place and let the two little sisters play by themselves.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, seeing that the two of them were still chatting, Xu Mingyuan said hello, washed up, and went to the side room.
But he didn't sleep either. He kept listening to the noise outside, fearing that the two girls would get drunk and act crazy.
Fortunately, Tao Shuxin had a good tolerance to alcohol. Although he was staggering, he was better than the confused Tang Lin.
Hearing that they had finished their work, Xu Mingyuan stood up and walked out.
"Do you need my help?"
Seeing that Tang Lin was just laughing foolishly and looked dazed, Xu Mingyuan said with amusement.
"No, I can do it myself. I'm not drunk yet."
Tao Shuxin burped. Red wine has a strong aftereffect. He didn't feel anything at first, but now he felt a little dizzy.
Xu Mingyuan held Tang Lin's arm and carried her to the bedroom. He turned on the air conditioner to 26 degrees. This temperature was not low, and she would not catch a cold even without a quilt.
"Go out, I want to take off her coat."
Seeing that Xu Mingyuan had not left yet, Tao Shuxin reminded him.
"It doesn't matter, let him sleep with me." Tang Lin said with a smile.
"You're going to die."
Tao Shuxin pressed her waist and tickled her.
"Hey, be careful, don't make her vomit."
Xu Mingyuan grabbed Tao Shuxin and pulled her up. It was okay that Tang Lin vomited, but it was a problem that she vomited on her own bed.
Seeing that Tao Shuxin could handle it on her own, Xu Mingyuan went to pour a glass of water and stopped caring about it.
At most they drank a bottle and a half of red wine, and nothing would happen.
But Xu Mingyuan still waited in the living room for a while. Seeing that there was no sound in the room, he turned off the lights and returned to the room.
Before Xu Mingyuan fell asleep, the door opened and a dark shadow pounced over.
Xu Mingyuan was very familiar with this scene. Xiao Yangzhi had performed it for him countless times, but this was the first time for Xiao Taotao.
Before Xu Mingyuan could say anything, Tao Shuxin's little mouth, breathing out the hot smell of alcohol, hit his face like raindrops.
"You unlucky child, do you deserve to be punished?"
Xu Mingyuan held Tao Shuxin's little face, fearing that the drunk girl would vomit all over him.
"Hmm~"
Tao Shuxin hummed reluctantly, broke free from Xu Mingyuan's hand, and tried to kiss him under the influence of alcohol.
Xu Mingyuan was so confused by her that he simply pulled at the hem of her clothes.
Tao Shuxin cooperated and raised her hand, threw the clothes aside and said, "Brother Xiaoyuan, I like you so much."
"Yeah, I know." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"You have no idea how much I like you."
"how come?"
"Humph, you definitely don't know that liking you is the simplest and easiest thing I've ever done in my life..."
Tao Shuxin forced herself to finish saying this, and as if she had used up all her strength, she lay on Xu Mingyuan and began to snore softly.
The little girl is very thin-skinned and never says sweet words...
