Chapter 357 Gift
Chapter 357 Gift
Is Xu Mingyuan superficial?
Certainly not.
There are plenty of pretty girls in the college, and I haven't seen him say more than a few words to any of them.
Although I am quite pretty, and maybe Xu Mingyuan just likes girls like me, but what if I get into a car accident in the future and my pretty face is disfigured?
Tao Shuxin didn't dare to think too much about the unfortunate plots in Korean dramas. She shivered and shook off these melodramatic plots in her mind.
However, Tao Shuxin also felt a sense of crisis in her heart. After all, a pretty face couldn't stay at eighteen forever, but there would always be beautiful eighteen-year-old girls appearing.
For this reason, Tao Shuxin began to struggle.
Xu Mingyuan's head has become bigger because of Tao Shuxin's nagging these days. Although Xiao Yangzhi is more nagging than her, she is much more noisy than Xiao Yangzhi.
After all, Xiao Yangzhi was just following quietly, determined to smooth out the edges in his heart. And Tao Shuxin was like a clockwork robot, chirping and chattering seemingly without stopping.
I don't know what's wrong with this silly girl's brain. She always asks herself when she has nothing to do whether she will still like her if she becomes ugly.
Generally, girls all over the world would ask this kind of question. This is a false question, and no matter how you answer it, it is wrong. Xu Mingyuan couldn't think of a better way except to answer "yes".
Then the little girl's questions became more and more varied.
"What if I become an ugly monster with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes? Will you still like me?"
"You like this? You are lying! Well, let me ask you, what if I turned into a thermos? A hot water bottle? A plastic bag..."
Tao Shuxin searched everything around her, trying to find out whether there was any crack in Xu Mingyuan's love for her.
……
"Okay, let me ask you one last question. What if I turned into a caterpillar?"
Tao Shuxin procrastinated tirelessly.
"Why is it a caterpillar?" Xu Mingyuan finally couldn't help asking.
"Because I hate caterpillars the most! The hairy ones are so scary!"
Tao Shuxin rubbed the goose bumps on her arms and said with a shiver.
"That's fine too, because you will turn into a butterfly, just like you are now."
Xu Mingyuan held her little face and gave her a kiss. It seemed that she had finally finished asking questions.
"Tsk, you only know how to say nice things, then what do you dislike the most?" Tao Shuxin asked again without getting tired of it.
"Me? I am full of kindness towards this world. I think everything is beautiful and I like everything." Xu Mingyuan said helplessly.
"What a bullshit! Stop talking nonsense! Tell me, what do you hate the most?"
Tao Shuxin pulled his arm and shook it left and right, insisting on getting to the bottom of things.
"Uh, baby fly."
Xu Mingyuan was so annoyed that he had no choice but to make something up.
"Baby fly? What is this?"
Tao Shuxin, who had never heard of this word before, had a lot of question marks on her face.
"Maggots, have you never seen them?" Xu Mingyuan raised his eyebrows and said.
"Hey, you're disgusting!"
Tao Shuxin let go of his hand in disgust.
"Haha."
"Okay, what if I turn into a baby fly?"
Again.
Xu Mingyuan sighed and said, "Then I will become a baby fly like you, and we will roam in the manure pit together. I will save the best food for you and make you plump and white."
Tao Shuxin was stunned for a moment, and immediately her face turned red as if she was vomiting.
"Ugh! Ugh! Get out of here! Go to hell! You're so disgusting..."
Before Tao Shuxin could finish her words, she immediately jumped up and went to settle the score with Xu Mingyuan.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Xu Mingyuan's headaches were finally over.
After all, Tao Shuxin is a greedy girl, and what she fears most is making her feel uncomfortable when it comes to eating.
For several days afterwards, Tao Shuxin had no appetite.
It’s not that because Xu Mingyuan disgusted her once, she no longer cared about delicious food, but that Tao Shuxin suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Even though she has a physique that makes her unable to gain weight, she still eats when she has nothing to do. Her belly is bulging every day. If she continues like this, she will become as fat as a ball sooner or later.
Xu Mingyuan didn't eat with her every day, but he would notice something was wrong once in a while.
"what happened?"
Seeing her chewing the lettuce with a bitter look in her mouth, but staring at the scallion chicken on the plate, Tao Shuxin picked up a piece of chicken leg for her. "Slurp." Tao Shuxin sucked the lettuce she had been chewing for a long time into her mouth and chewed it vigorously. She also put the chicken leg in her bowl into Xu Mingyuan's bowl and said with a hum, "I will never eat chicken legs again..."
"Is it not tasty?" Xu Mingyuan ate a piece and thought there was nothing wrong with it, so he asked curiously, "The chicken leg is well cooked, with good color, aroma and taste. Hey, today is really strange, the sun is rising from the west, and you won't eat the chicken leg?"
"No, I want to lose weight."
Tao Shuxin took two big bites of vegetables, wishing she could fill her stomach.
"Losing weight? Haha, don't fool yourself. Come on, take a bite first and see how it tastes."
Xu Mingyuan didn't believe that this greedy girl would lose weight. If she really wanted to lose weight, she should have explained the situation when ordering the food. Why did she wait until now?
Xu Mingyuan shook his head and put a piece of chicken leg into her bowl.
"I'm serious, I'm really trying to lose weight!"
Tao Shuxin hummed as she looked at the chicken legs in the bowl, then struggled to move her eyes away.
"Are you crazy? Why are you losing weight for no reason?" Xu Mingyuan asked with a smile.
"I've gained weight! Look, my face is round." Tao Shuxin said while pinching her cheeks.
"You have a small round face, isn't that cute?"
"I want to be thin and have an oval face."
"Oval faces are not good looking."
"You're just talking nonsense. Your sister is so pretty."
"Everyone has their own characteristics. Why change them randomly? Just eat faster. If you really want to lose weight, just eat less snacks on a regular basis."
"Ah, okay."
Tao Shuxin finally let himself go and picked up the meat in the bowl and ate it in two or three bites.
She hadn't eaten meat for three days, and when she ate a chicken leg, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but she was too embarrassed to eat it, so she had to look at Xu Mingyuan from time to time, signaling him to make a decision that went against her will for her.
Xu Mingyuan pretended not to see it. Tao Shuxin stared at him for a long time, and was almost discouraged before she came over and added a few chopsticks of chicken to her bowl.
Xu Mingyuan could only laugh at the little girl's behavior, but there seemed to be nothing he could do to change anything.
She has a wild imagination and she would do something weird every now and then. Xu Mingyuan has long been used to it and just treats it as a show.
Tao Shuxin, who was very satisfied with the meal, breathed a sigh of relief happily.
But while rubbing her belly, she suddenly felt a little depressed. The suffering she had endured for a few days was easily interrupted by Xu Mingyuan.
What a bad guy...
However, Tao Shuxin did not do the stupid thing of scolding the cook after eating. Instead, she changed the subject and said, "Is your sister's birthday on Friday?"
"Friday? Isn't that the 10th?"
Xu Mingyuan took the tissue in front of Tao Shuxin and wiped his mouth, then rolled it into a ball and put it on her head.
"The 10th is Friday, what are you thinking about?"
Tao Shuxin sometimes felt that Xu Mingyuan was quite childish and insisted on doing some boring tricks, so she grabbed the paper ball above her head and threw it back.
Seeing the paper ball fall on his head and then bounce away, Tao Shuxin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Why would I think about this? She'll call me and tell me when her birthday comes."
"Is there any brother like you? Isn't Xiao Yangzhi already 18 years old? You can't even remember this?"
"She still has to go to class, so just have a meal. Didn't you do the same thing back then?"
"Yeah, it's miserable to be in high school. I can't even go out to play. By the way, did you buy her a gift?" Tao Shuxin asked.
"Not yet. I'll go to the bank when I have time and buy a gold bar as a gift." Xu Mingyuan said casually.
"What about me?"
"If you want to give it as a gift, just buy a gold bar." Xu Mingyuan said indifferently.
"What size do you want?"
"Let's buy one kilogram. Gold bars are heavy and too small won't look good."
"One kilogram! Where can I get so much pocket money?"
It was no problem for Tao Shuxin to buy ten grams. He could buy thirty grams if he gritted his teeth. If he wanted more, he would have to borrow from Xu Mingyuan. But what was the difference between that and what he gave her as a gift?
"Then you can give her a red envelope. Xiao Yangzhi just likes to save some pocket money. Buying gold bars is to beat inflation and prevent her pocket money from depreciating." Xu Mingyuan said.
Xiao Yangzhi was a nostalgic girl, and Xu Mingyuan bought her many toys, but she still liked the first teddy bear he gave her, and would hug it when she went to bed at night.
Now the whole teddy bear is filled with the scent of the little poplar twigs. She uses the dolls that were given to her later as decorations. She doesn't move them for ten days or half a month, and only touches them during the general cleaning.
"Then buy her a small pure gold doll. Isn't she born in the year of the rabbit? I'll give her this."
Compared to Xu Mingyuan, Tao Shuxin is still very good at giving gifts. If she can't afford gold bars, then she can just give a small ornament...
