Chapter 395 Open

Chapter 395 Open
Early July, afternoon.

As the last few days of Jiangnan University’s summer vacation approach, Tao Shuxin’s busy final semester is also about to come to an end.

If Tao Shuxin had not signed up for so many subjects, Xu Mingyuan would have finished the exams long ago and gone wherever he wanted.

The second semester of the sophomore year is the busiest semester of the entire college career. Although the subjects in the junior year will be more difficult, there are not many courses.

This was also the only semester in which Xu Mingyuan and Tao Shuxin did not leave Jiangnan University early in the four final exams they experienced.

Xu Mingyuan finally figured out Xiao Yangzhi's true thoughts.

Although Xiao Yangzhi may feel a little uncomfortable, it is not intolerable.

Because Xiao Yangzhi was always the one who gave in, she had long been accustomed to Xu Mingyuan's behavior. Coupled with her experience and weak character, she had basically gotten used to it.

It was good to talk it out, and Yang Zhi was no longer so anxious.

What Yang Zhi had always worried about was that Xu Mingyuan didn't like her that much, and only treated her as a little sister with a strange way of getting along with others, who would be abandoned sooner or later.

Xu Mingyuan clearly told Yang Zhi that he not only liked her, but was also afraid that she didn't like him.

After getting a definite answer, Yang Zhi no longer had to do anything sneaky.

Normally when she was alone with Xu Mingyuan, Yang Zhi could lean towards him with peace of mind, waiting for him to kiss her, instead of trying to sneak up on him and ask for a kiss.

Now that she understood Xu Mingyuan's intentions, Yang Zhi could stay at home with peace of mind again.

Yang Zhi has been to Jiangda many times. She is very familiar with the cafeteria, supermarket and other places she often goes to in the school.

Now that you are familiar with it, there is no need to change it again.

Yang Zhi returned to her previous life, staying in her small home in Jiangcheng every day without going out, and looking forward to Xu Mingyuan coming home after finishing his work.

Whenever Xu Mingyuan comes home, it is the happiest thing for Yang Zhi.

At this moment, Yang Zhi no longer had to be so cautious and guess Xu Mingyuan's psychological activities. She could greet him openly and wait for him to hold her and walk around the living room for a few laps.

Yang Zhi was very happy to be free, and she smiled more and more often, which made Xu Mingyuan stunned every time.

This is also the little thing she is most proud of.

The way of getting along with Xu Mingyuan has also become more natural.

Yang Zhi now wanted to lie in his arms, so she lay down.

When I get tired of lying down, I sit beside him and lean on him for a while.

Yang Zhi completely gave the most real scene in her heart to Xu Mingyuan.

Even outside, Yang Zhi still couldn't bear the gazes of everyone and always wanted to hide behind him.

Xu Mingyuan sometimes laughs at himself for being useless, but Yang Zhi can now respond positively.

"If I have no future, then I have no future... Anyway, my brother doesn't need me to have any future, right?"

Every time Yang Zhi said this, Xu Mingyuan would touch his head with a smile.

Yang Zhi couldn't guess what emotion he was feeling when he said this. It seemed like he was a little relieved, but more like he was sighing.

Since Yang Zhi couldn't guess it anyway, he decided not to guess.

Using your brain is very tiring, as long as my brother is happy...

……

The heat was unbearable. On a bench next to the artificial lake of Jiangda University, Tao Shuxin held a popsicle stick in her mouth, but her big, round eyes were fixed on a box of ice cream that did not belong to her.

"Brother Xiaoyuanyuan, have you noticed that Xiaozhizhi's mood has improved?"

Tao Shuxin smashed the popsicle stick and did not try to snatch the ice cream from Xu Mingyuan's hand. Instead, she scooped out her own box and ate it.

Ice cream tastes best when it's soft and chewy.

But the distance from buying snacks at the supermarket to walking to the artificial lake is not far. The ice cream just taken out of the freezer has not melted yet and is still hard when scooped.

But the greedy Tao Shuxin couldn't wait any longer. Even if the popsicle stick was broken, she would still lick it and finish it.

"Has she changed for the better? Wasn't she like this before?"

Xu Mingyuan answered casually, leaning back in his chair comfortably.

The willows in July have no annoying catkins, and the drooping willow branches exude a fresh light grass scent.

The air was very hot, but it was just right here on the artificial lake. The lake water had the ability to absorb heat, and the breeze was a bit humid, making people drowsy.

"How could it be the same? You are too careless. I can see Xiao Zhizhi smiling every day now. Wow! You don't know, I took her for a walk for more than half a month, and I never saw her smile!" Tao Shuxin said seriously.

Tao Shuxin seldom saw Xiao Yangzhi smile, and the few times she smiled were always for Xu Mingyuan, which made her feel very resentful.

But now it’s different. Sometimes when Tao Shuxin says something to Xiao Yangzhi, she will occasionally chuckle in response.

Tao Shuxin could also see that Xiao Yangzhi was being perfunctory, but compared to before when she had a cold face as if she didn't pay back the money she owed, she was much better now. At least Tao Shuxin no longer felt like she was talking to the air.

Although she still seemed very dull compared to others, even a girl like me who didn't have much observation skills could notice this. One could imagine the changes that had taken place in Xiao Yangzhi.

No one can stand cold violence. Even the enthusiastic and cheerful Tao Shuxin would feel a little discouraged when facing such a little Yang Zhi every day.

On what day did the change occur?
Tao Shuxin thought about it carefully and felt that it seemed that after drinking that day, Xiao Yangzhi's mood gradually became cheerful.

Could it be that she vented her unhappy emotions after drinking?
It doesn’t seem so.

Tao Shuxin noticed that day that Xiao Yangzhi became more and more depressed the more she drank. At the end, she took the initiative to open the beer can and drank quietly by herself.

Could it be that it was because that bastard Xu Mingyuan shamelessly tortured me that morning that Xiao Yangzhi accepted me as her sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart?
This is incredible...

"Maybe you just do nothing but laugh all day and affect her." Xu Mingyuan said casually.

In fact, only Xu Mingyuan and Xiao Yangzhi knew all the changes that had taken place in her.

No one likes to be deceived, Xu Mingyuan is like this, and Xiao Yangzhi is the same.

Xu Mingyuan didn't allow Xiao Yangzhi to lie, but he treated her as a child all the time and rarely told the truth in front of her.

It would have been fine if Xu Mingyuan didn't want to tell Xiao Yangzhi some things, but he still had to put on an attitude of self-deception and deliberately hide things from her.

In Xu Mingyuan's eyes, it is true that Xiao Yangzhi is a child, but her understanding of the world is idiotic. However, this does not mean that she is a little fool who knows nothing.

Little Yangzhi is very smart and good at observing people's expressions.

She was honest with herself, but Xu Mingyuan was secretive from her. How could Xiao Yangzhi feel at ease?

In the following days, Xu Mingyuan basically opened his heart to her completely and would not hide anything from her.

When hearing some interesting things that happened between her and Tao Shuxin, Xiao Yangzhi would also show a little jealousy, but she would try to understand why Xu Mingyuan cared so much about Tao Shuxin.

The two people were honest with each other, and their relationship instantly became relaxed and comfortable.

When Xu Mingyuan was with Xiao Yangzhi, he no longer had to consider Tao Shuxin's influence and could just focus on dealing with her.

Even when he was talking on the phone with Tao Shuxin, Xu Mingyuan would not deliberately avoid Xiao Yangzhi. Whether Xiao Yangzhi wanted to come over to answer the phone or go to the side and be in a daze, Xu Mingyuan didn't care about her and let her move around.

However, she rarely left because she wanted to listen to what Xu Mingyuan and Tao Shuxin were talking about.

Sometimes when the conversation with Tao Shuxin became too cheesy, little Yangzhi would frown her entire face, even her pretty eyebrows would be furrowed, and she would look at Xu Mingyuan with an unbelieving gaze.

He acted as if he couldn't believe his brother was this kind of person.

When Xu Mingyuan felt embarrassed by being stared at, he would clamp the phone between his shoulders, hold her down and give her a good beating.

At this time, Xiao Yangzhi just smiled and didn't resist too much.

After the commotion was over, Xiao Yangzhi would launch a counterattack, deliberately waiting for the moment when Tao Shuxin was talking to kiss Xu Mingyuan, trying to draw his attention back to her.

In the tacit relationship between Xu Mingyuan and Xiao Yangzhi, the person who feels most sorry must be the silly and naive Xiao Taotao.

I was kept in the dark and was happy all day long.

If life could go on like this, Xu Mingyuan felt that it would be perfect.

"You just laugh foolishly all day long!"

Tao Shuxin rolled her eyes in annoyance and half leaned against Xu Mingyuan. She was wearing denim shorts, revealing her well-proportioned calves as white and crisp as lotus roots.

Infected by Xu Mingyuan's comfort, Tao Shuxin put her legs on the edge of the bench, and her little feet kept shaking in the air.

"Yes, you are not stupid."

Xu Mingyuan smiled and noticed that the ice cream in Tao Shuxin's hand was almost gone, so he opened his own portion, inserted the popsicle stick and took a bite.

"I'm optimistic and cheerful, what do you know?"

Seeing that Xu Mingyuan was finally willing to open the ice cream and eat it, Tao Shuxin moved her body and moved closer to him, almost getting into his arms.

"Yes, you are the most optimistic and cheerful one." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Right! Xiao Yangzhi must have been influenced by me, so she became happy..."

Tao Shuxin finished her ice cream in just a few bites. While Xu Mingyuan was looking into the distance and answering, she scooped out a large piece of ice cream from his bowl and hurriedly stuffed it into her mouth.

After doing this, Tao Shuxin looked up at Xu Mingyuan, and seeing that he didn't notice, she began to happily taste the vanilla ice cream in her mouth.

Xu Mingyuan opened the ice cream at just the right time, and the soft and fluffy texture was delicious.

In fact, Tao Shuxin is already a 21-year-old girl. Although she is still under the discipline of her mother, her mother only nags her and does not give any substantial punishment.

But the ones that come from secret love are the sweetest, and the interactions between young lovers are the most interesting. Tao Shuxin just likes to do this and doesn't think she is stupid at all.

"Yes, I was influenced by you. Who made you so likable?"

What Tao Shuxin did was just short of robbing. Xiao Yangzhi's methods were two levels more advanced than hers. How could Xu Mingyuan not notice that she was cheating?

But Xu Mingyuan pretended not to see it and continued to stare at the swan in the distance in a daze.

"Isn't it? I'm just likable. Hum, why do you always say that I can't speak..."

Tao Shuxin replied while quickly digging into Xu Mingyuan's ice cream, almost finishing all of it.

Xu Mingyuan also came back to his senses at the right time, pushed her away with a "tsk" sound, and said with a frown: "Hey! Tao Shuxin, how come you ate all my ice cream?"

"You're not eating, so what's wrong with me taking a few bites?"

Tao Shuxin wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth and answered confidently.

"How do you know I don't eat? It's so hot, can't I just eat slowly?" Xu Mingyuan said.

"It's almost melted! It will be wasted if I don't eat it!"

Tao Shuxin found a reason to defend herself.

"You're not even through with your period yet and you're eating so many cold foods? When you get a stomachache, stop whining. Wow, I'll tell Teacher He." Xu Mingyuan said unhappily.

"Hey! Can you please stop telling tales? Look how grown up you are, and yet you want to do such a shameful thing!" Tao Shuxin immediately accused.

"It's not that I don't want to do it, but I will definitely do it. Just wait for Teacher He to call." Xu Mingyuan threatened with a sneer.

"Hey! Don't tell on me!"

Tao Shuxin got so angry that she grabbed his collar and pulled it back and forth.

But Xu Mingyuan ignored her and let her pull him. He took the popsicle stick and started eating the less than half of the remaining ice cream.

"Hey, hey, hey! Leave some for me!"

Tao Shuxin suddenly became anxious and immediately started to fight for the ice cream in Xu Mingyuan's hand.

The thing that the greedy little girl could not tolerate the most was that others were eating in front of her while she had nothing in her hands.

What's more, Xu Mingyuan was still smacking his lips and tasting it, as if he was deliberately tempting him.

"If you don't give it to me, you'll have nothing to eat. This is mine."

Xu Mingyuan dodged Tao Shuxin's little hand that was trying to snatch the food away and took another big bite.

"No, no! That was paid for with my meal card!"

Tao Shuxin said as she scrambled for it.

"You used the money you borrowed from me to buy your meal card. There's a portion of my money in it."

Xu Mingyuan continued to reply evasively.

"It's because you're lazy and don't want to use your meal card. How can I afford to buy you a meal?"

Tao Shuxin found the reason with great resentment.

"Don't come here too much. I usually eat in the cafeteria. How much can it cost you?"

However, Xu Mingyuan decisively chose to expose it.

"You just lie with your eyes open! Look at what you are eating now? Is it the plate from the cafeteria? Shut up..."

They fought for it for a long time, and even the ice cream stick that Xu Mingyuan put into his mouth was snatched back by Tao Shuxin.

If passers-by saw this, they would definitely quicken their pace in disgust and quickly leave this place full of sour and smelly troubles.

Oh~ disgusting...

Tao Shuxin, who grabbed most of the remaining ice cream, finally wiped her mouth with satisfaction.

Seeing that Xu Mingyuan seemed a little discouraged, Tao Shuxin's tail was almost up to the sky.

But since I won the final victory, I should also comfort the losers.

Tao Shuxin gave her sweet little mouth full of vanilla flavor to Xu Mingyuan to taste for a while...
