Chapter 403 Taste

A small noodle restaurant not far from Shuyuan New Mansion.

Yang Zhi slurped the ramen in the bowl. She usually ate noodles by biting off a piece in small bites, chewing it carefully and swallowing it slowly, looking very peaceful.

But today she deliberately made a slurping sound just to tell Xu Mingyuan that she was full...

Xu Mingyuan, who was sitting next to Xiao Yangzhi, knew that she couldn't eat, so he took the bowl of noodles in front of her and took a sip of the soup with a spoon.

"Oh my god! You're so sour."

Xu Mingyuan swallowed it reluctantly with a grim look on his face, then scooped a handful of noodles from Xiao Yangzhi's bowl and rinsed it in his own bowl.

It still tastes like vinegar even when eaten this way.

"Sour food is appetizing."

At this moment, Yang Zhi no longer felt embarrassed. She just pursed her lips, and tried to hold back a smile with curved eyebrows.

"Since it's appetizing, why don't you eat more?"

Xu Mingyuan didn't force her to eat the cold beef anymore, and he cleaned up the remaining cold dishes by himself.

"I'm already full. If I eat more, I won't be able to digest it."

Yang Zhi rested her elbows on the table through a napkin, rested her face on her palms, and tilted her head to the side, staring blankly and quietly at Xu Mingyuan eating noodles.

In those eyes, which were usually cold at that time, there was now a hint of warmth.

Ramen tastes good, but Yang Zhi doesn’t particularly like it. She still prefers soft and fluffy noodles.

Because boiled noodles will be digested completely after a while.

Having a bloated stomach is so uncomfortable, Yang Zhi doesn’t like this feeling.

Xu Mingyuan used to force her to eat everything, but now he doesn't care about her anymore.

Because Xiao Yangzhi had already revealed a lot of her worries to Xu Mingyuan, and explained the whole cause and effect clearly, and he also understood why she didn't want to eat too much.

The main reason is that the experience of hunger in childhood was too unforgettable. Whenever little Yangzhi had food to eat, he would fill his stomach to the brim in order to prepare for the next experience of not having food to eat.

Of course it would be uncomfortable to have a full stomach. Xiao Yangzhi doesn't like to be hungry, but she also doesn't like to have a full stomach. She only likes the feeling of neither being full nor hungry.

Little Yangzhi was also silly. Her grandmother didn't like her granddaughter in the first place, and when she saw that she ate so much at every meal, she didn't want to raise her even more.

But how old was little Yangzhi at that time? She was just a child of three, four, five or six years old. How could she understand the thoughts of adults?

This practice is simply a survival measure and an animal instinct.

After Xu Mingyuan learned about this, he never forced Xiao Yangzhi to eat again.

Everyone has their own experiences, which, together with the nature they are born with, make up their view of the world.

Just like Yang Zhi's worldview, she never cared about destroying the relationship between Xu Mingyuan and Tao Shuxin. She also understood that this was an immoral behavior, but she did not feel a bit of guilt on a psychological level.

Because Yang Zhi's experience also told her that morality cannot fill the stomach, it is only real when it is eaten.

Yang Zhi, who looks timid, also has bold ideas.

Yang Zhi picked up a piece of smashed cucumber that Xu Mingyuan hadn't cleaned up, put it into his mouth and chewed it in small bites.

Being told she is skinny all the time, Yang Zhi is also trying hard to gain weight. Although she doesn't like to eat too much, she can just eat small meals more frequently.

"Brother, does that sister just now like you?" Yang Zhi asked.

"Which one? Su Muqing?" Xu Mingyuan said.

"Ah."

Yang Zhi's clear eyes blinked and she nodded.

"She? Haha, she likes the business I do and thinks I'm awesome... well, very awesome. If I go bankrupt one day, she will definitely run faster than a rabbit." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Well... so, she likes you a little bit?" Yang Zhi asked curiously.

"Well, maybe there is. How would I know? In fact, Su Muqing is a very capable girl. What you can see on the surface may not be true. Maybe she is showing it on purpose. Besides, there are so many girls who like your brother. Who does she count as?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Yes, Sister Taotao said that you are very popular with girls in school, and girls often come to you." Yang Zhi said with a chuckle.

"Haha, you're just listening to her nonsense. How can it be so often? Occasionally, one or two girls would be rare. Although college students have a lot of free time, they still have their own things to do. In my two years of college, it seems that no more than five girls have approached me on their own initiative."

Xu Mingyuan smiled and shook his head. With Xiao Taotao staring at him all day long, how many girls would have the confidence to come to him?

Even those who came to see Xu Mingyuan were not very reliable girls whose looks were barely above average. They simply wanted to test him and see if they could earn some pocket money.

However, there are not many people on the surface, but there are quite a few friend requests on the classmates’ network. After all, the virtual network can better reveal the true face.

It’s just that Tao Shuxin’s eyesight is a little blind and she can’t see the little Yangzhi right under her eyelids.

Of course, it was also because Xu Mingyuan and Xiao Yangzhi were hiding too deeply under her nose.

After all, Xiao Yangzhi is such a delicate girl, she knows very well where Tao Shuxin's gaze will fall.

"Brother, do you like her?" Yang Zhi continued to ask.

"Haha, how could I like her? It's impossible," Xu Mingyuan laughed.

"Why? She's so pretty."

"No matter how pretty she is, can she be as pretty as you? I only like well-behaved little girls."

Xu Mingyuan pinched her smooth and moist face and wiped the soup on his fingers. Yang Zhi looked at Xu Mingyuan helplessly, not understanding why her brother liked to do such childish things and always liked to say that she was childish.

Oh, it’s so difficult…

Yang Zhi, who was a little bit of a germaphobe, couldn't stand having the sticky soup on her face, so she took a tissue, dipped it in boiled water, and gently rubbed it off.

Then he squeezed it into a ball, but he couldn't bear to hit Xu Mingyuan, so he just threw it on his desk and looked at him with pretended resentment.

Seeing that he was about to pinch her face, Yang Zhi took the initiative to grab his hand, wiped it clean with a wet tissue, and then wiped his mouth.

"You just wiped my hands and you're wiping my mouth now?" Xu Mingyuan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"It's not dirty, wood..."

Yang Zhi leaned forward and gently touched Xu Mingyuan's lips, but in the presence of others, she did not dare to go too far.

The noodle shop owner, who is in her forties, looked at the flirting between the young men with satisfaction, as if she was recalling her past experiences.

Xu Mingyuan was too embarrassed to look the proprietress in the eye, so he just packed up a small cold dish to eat with noodles the next morning.

I made a note that I won’t bring Xiao Taotao with me next time I come to this store.

From now on, I would take Tao Shuxin to eat at the store on the left after exiting the community gate.

Turn right and take the small poplar branch with you.

Let’s divide the land between the two of them first.

Hiding here and there every day, Xu Mingyuan was exhausted...

Fortunately, the newly built community has become a society of strangers, and the neighbors do not interact with each other and are not familiar with each other. Otherwise, Xu Mingyuan would not dare to take Xiao Yangzhi around.

After parking the car in a designated parking space, the two took their belongings and returned to their home.

As usual, Xu Mingyuan took a shower when he got home to get rid of the summer heat he brought back from outside.

Yang Zhi first put the things she brought back in order, and after Xu Mingyuan walked out of the bathroom in a few minutes, she threw the clothes they had just changed into the washing machine.

After Yang Zhi has washed everything clean, she will mop up the water stains on the bathroom floor. At this time, the clothes in the washing machine will also be washed.

The drum washing machine has a drying function, but Yang Zhi always felt that it would be uncomfortable to wear clothes if they were not hung out to dry overnight, so she took the warm clothes to the balcony and hung them up.

Using clips to hold the clothes to prevent them from being blown away, Yang Zhi was dazed for a while, feeling relieved.

Every time Yang Zhi sees the house inside and outside tidy, he feels a sense of fulfillment in his heart.

Xu Mingyuan had nothing to do at home, so he basically kept his notebook in his hand all day long. He spent a small part of his time on work, and then he looked up news to clarify his future path. The rest of his time was spent on entertainment.

Yang Zhi seldom blows her hair. She prefers to let her slightly damp hair air dry naturally.

The snacks she eats on a daily basis are just some dried fruits and she rarely eats processed snacks.

Perhaps it is because Yang Zhi lives very close to nature that her skin always remains clean, fresh, delicate and smooth.

Yang Zhi walked slowly to the living room, glanced at the laptop screen, and saw Xu Mingyuan was browsing the short jokes on his classmates' website, so he knew he was just killing time.

Why don't you do something else to kill time? Why do you have to surf the Internet? It's so boring.

Yang Zhi gently bumped into his arms and knocked him down.

Xu Mingyuan did not resist. He fell on the sofa as Xiao Yangzhi wished, then hugged her. He picked out a strand of hair that was rubbing his neck and put it in front of his nose, sniffing the slightly moist fragrance.

Yang Zhi rubbed her cheek against his cheek gently, enjoying a relaxing moment together before resuming the topic that had not been finished just now.

"Brother, what about Lin Jing? Does she like you?" Yang Zhi asked.

"Lin Jing, she definitely has some. But she is a person who values ​​interests very much. Feelings like love are not important at all in her eyes. And she has a strong sense of self-esteem, like a pressure cooker. She might explode one day. Just think about it, how scary is that? Tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Xu Mingyuan said with a sigh.

"Is it?"

Yang Zhi carefully recalled the scene when he met Lin Jing, and then thought about the content of the conversation between his brother and her, and scratched his head in confusion.

To be honest, Yang Zhi didn't have any feelings of good or evil towards Lin Jing, and felt that she was easier to get along with than Su Muqing.

Perhaps it was because Su Muqing was too delicate, which made Yang Zhi feel a natural sense of distance.

Lin Jing was a girl from an ordinary family, but she was admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, the dream universities of countless students. Yang Zhi felt that she was so amazing.

"Yeah, how could I lie to you?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Of course my brother won't lie to me."

Yang Zhi rubbed his face gently.

No matter who it is, they will take up my brother's free time, which is annoying...

Xiao Yangzhi is much more clingy than Tao Shuxin. She just likes to cling to Xu Mingyuan and won't let go.

As long as they were at home, Yang Zhi would hug Xu Mingyuan anytime and anywhere, chat with him for a while, be in a daze for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she would touch his lips as gently as water.

However, Yang Zhi, who had not learned how to kiss for a long time, could only take the initiative a little bit.

In order to give up his initiative and transfer it to Xu Mingyuan.

When Xu Mingyuan took over, Yang Zhi could concentrate on savoring the kiss...
