Chapter 329 He is not that kind of person
"Oh, you're taking so long. Why did you just open the door?"
Tao Shuxin watched the electric door creak open slowly and wanted to go up and give it a push.
"I'm still asleep, it's good enough that I can come down and open the door for you."
In such a short time, it was difficult for Xiao Yangzhi to clean up the room, so Xu Mingyuan pulled the girl in front of the car and did not let her enter the yard.
"Huh, now you know how annoying it is to ask someone to get up and open the door, right?"
Of course Tao Shuxin had no idea what Xu Mingyuan was planning. She just thought that he wanted to get intimate with her, so she raised her head and acted very proudly.
"I see you look quite happy when you eat potato pancakes." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Of course I'm happy to have food. Hey, why are you the one opening the door? Where is the nanny you hired? Is she not here?" Tao Shuxin asked curiously.
"It's New Year's Day, so take two days off. Tell your aunt to come this afternoon." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Oh, your dad isn't here either?"
Seeing that only Xu Mingyuan's car was parked in the carport, Tao Shuxin asked curiously.
"No, I had a dinner party at the end of the year, so I didn't come back yesterday."
There was not even a tire mark on the snow in the yard, so Xu Mingyuan had to tell the truth.
"Well, you said last night that you would come back, so I took a gift from home to give to your father."
"What did you take? Let me take a look." Xu Mingyuan asked.
"Cigarettes, alcohol, tea, what else could it be? You are not allowed to smoke! I am giving this to my uncle."
Tao Shuxin stared with her eyes wide open and reminded him. Although she knew that Xu Mingyuan seldom smoked, Xu Mingyuan would still light up if an elder handed him a cigarette.
She was also afraid that Xu's reputation would spread around him, and if he became addicted to smoking, it would not only be unpleasant to the smell, but also bad for his health.
"Why would I need your junk if I have nothing to do?" Xu Mingyuan took out cigarettes and alcohol from the trunk. Seeing that the bag was similar to the one he gave to her father, he asked, "Hey, you didn't take the cigarettes and alcohol I gave to your father again, did you?"
"How is this possible! I have so many at home, how could I have picked the ones you sent?" Tao Shuxin said with wide eyes.
"What's impossible? Look at what's written on the bag: Jianfa Tobacco and Liquor Store. That's where I bought it last time." Xu Mingyuan said while holding the bag.
"Ah? No way..." Tao Shuxin flipped through the book awkwardly, but couldn't tell whether it was sent by Xu Mingyuan, so she could only say nonchalantly: "Who cares who sent it? It's good enough as long as the thought is there. It would be a waste of money to buy another one."
"You unlucky child, did you embezzle the gift money your father gave you?" Xu Mingyuan said with a helpless smile.
"Nonsense, it was obviously given to me by my mother."
Tao Shuxin blushed and said stubbornly.
"Isn't that the same?"
"How can it be the same?" Tao Shuxin felt a little guilty, so she had to say, "Hey, Xiaoyuan, don't tell your dad. You give me gifts, I give you gifts, and in the end it's still gifts. It's great to save money to buy delicious food, it's not like you don't get a share."
"You only know how to eat. Why don't you come in? Why are you standing here like an idiot?"
Thinking that Xiao Yangzhi should have cleaned up her room, Xu Mingyuan didn't block Tao Shuxin's way. He got into the car and drove into the yard.
Silly Tao Shuxin didn't think that she couldn't walk into the door because she was being held by Xu Mingyuan. She thought it was her own fault, so she took the bag of cigarettes and alcohol and ran up the stairs.
Seeing Tao Shuxin standing by the door without entering the house, just poking the little snowman on the corridor handrail waiting for him, Xu Mingyuan asked casually: "What are you doing? Aren't you cold?"
"This snowball is so round, did you make it?"
Tao Shuxin poked the palm-sized snowman, which had been frozen solid overnight, and was not afraid of breaking it.
"I have nothing to do with my time, so I can do this? This was made by Xiao Yangzhi." Xu Mingyuan replied.
"By the way, your sister is at home, right? It was just you two here last night?" Tao Shuxin asked, looking up.
"Yes."
Xu Mingyuan rubbed the snow on the carpet and led her into the house.
Tao Shuxin put on Xu Mingyuan's slippers first, and asked him to find a pair of disposable slippers. She looked around and saw no one, so she couldn't help asking, "Aren't you afraid to live in such a big house?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of."
"It's empty. Even the housekeeper isn't here. It's so scary to get up to go to the bathroom at night. Tsk tsk, I don't dare to do that anyway."
Tao Shuxin likes big houses, but when she thinks about two people living in it, she is afraid that if she has to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, she will ask Xu Mingyuan to help guard the door.
"There's a bathroom in the bedroom, why go out?"
“That’s scary too.”
"Look at your little courage, you are not as good as Xiao Yangzhi." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile. After chatting for a while downstairs, Tao Shuxin warmed up. Seeing that Xiao Yangzhi did not come downstairs, she asked casually: "Hey? Where is your sister? Hasn't she gotten up yet?"
"I don't know, I should be up now."
Xu Mingyuan was also a little confused. In the past, when she learned that Tao Shuxin was coming home, she would have run over to act as a light bulb.
It has been at least ten minutes since I went downstairs. This time is enough for me to clean the room, let alone wash up.
"It's okay if you don't get up. I also want to sleep for a while, ah..."
Tao Shuxin slapped her lips and yawned, then stood up and wanted to go to Xu Mingyuan's room to stay for a while.
Xu Mingyuan hugged her and asked, "Wait, have you eaten?"
Tao Shuxin hugged Xu Mingyuan and pouted, "You've only eaten half of it. You don't know how annoying my mom is. She's always nagging. I was thinking of coming to your place for a meal, but I didn't expect that you don't have an aunt to cook. If I had known, I would have bought some breakfast and brought it with me."
"That's great. Please heat up some food for me. I'll go wash up first." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Hey! I'm a guest here, and it's ok that you don't want to cook for me, but you actually asked me to cook for you!"
Tao Shuxin didn't expect that she had to cook before she could even eat hot meals, and her mouth immediately curled up to the sky.
"Hey, we're family, so we shouldn't have different opinions. Besides, who told you to come so early? If you came a little later, wouldn't you have been able to eat the food ready?"
"Come on, you only know how to order people around. It's even difficult for you to boil water." Tao Shuxin groaned in dissatisfaction.
"I'm busy, aren't I?" Xu Mingyuan pulled the reluctant Tao Shuxin up to the second floor, opened the freezer and said, "Look, there's your favorite pork rib jelly. Just cook some porridge and you can eat it. It's not a big deal."
"Humph, you only know how to use delicious food to please others." Tao Shuxin didn't even pick up the chopsticks. He stretched out his hand to grab a piece of pork ribs and put it into his mouth. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He sucked the bones clean before saying contentedly, "It's really delicious."
"Eat less. This is cold. If you eat more, you'll have a stomachache. There's rice in the cupboard. Cook some."
Xu Mingyuan simply threw the stall to her and ran upstairs in two or three steps.
Tao Shuxin's eyes rolled around, and after she leaned her head out to watch him leave, she decisively took out the bowl of pork rib jelly, scooped out a plate of pork ribs and started eating.
But the kind little girl would not eat alone, and making porridge was not difficult. Tao Shuxin ate the ribs while pouring the rice, filling the pot with water, and plugging in the power.
As soon as Xu Mingyuan returned to the room, he saw Xiao Yangzhi making the quilt. Her hair was messy and draped over her shoulders. It was obvious that she had just got up.
"Hurry up and pack up and have dinner." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Oh."
Yang Zhi leaned his head and looked back, and saw that Tao Shuxin didn't catch up. He breathed a sigh of relief, but seemed a little discouraged.
But I didn't hesitate for long, as Tao Shuxin came up with a plate. It was very simple to cook porridge, just pour water and wait for it to boil. There was no need to watch it all the time.
"Go, go back to the house and wash up. I need to go to the bathroom."
Xu Mingyuan pushed her out of the room and locked the bathroom door.
"it is good."
Yang Zhi felt a little discouraged, and moved step by step away from the room which was more familiar to him than his own.
Tao Shuxin was still eating pork rib jelly with her eyes wide open. When she saw Xiao Yangzhi opening her door with the key, surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Xiao Zhizhi, are you a little... um... too wary of your brother? Don't worry, he's not that kind of person."
Tao Shuxin thought for a long time before speaking in a troubled tone.
"No, I'm on guard against outsiders." Yang Zhi said calmly.
"Oh." Tao Shuxin pretended to be enlightened, but there were only two people at home, and she obviously didn't trust them, so she continued to ask without much emotional intelligence: "Who are you guarding against?"
Seeing Tao Shuxin followed him into the room without any tact, Yang Zhi frowned slightly and said, "Auntie Nanny."
"Is that so? Then you don't have to lock the door as soon as you leave the house." Tao Shuxin was eating ribs on a plate. He felt that it was not good to just focus on eating, so he passed it to Xiao Yangzhi and said, "You eat too."
"No, Sister Taotao, can you go out for a while? I need to change my clothes." Yang Zhi said calmly.
"Oh, it doesn't matter, we are all girls."
Tao Shuxin waved his hand carelessly, indicating that she shouldn't mind it.
One of them went to the bathroom and the other went to change clothes. Tao Shuxin felt very bored staying there.
"I'm not wearing any underwear." Yang Zhi said with a frown.
"Ah? You're just wearing pajamas. You're too careless about your brother!" Tao Shuxin's eyes widened immediately, but after looking him up and down, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It doesn't matter. Your pajamas are quite thick. He can't see it."
Yang Zhi opened her mouth. She had always thought that her emotions were quite stable, but now she had the urge to rush up and tear her hair apart...
