Chapter 404 Eavesdropping
Yang Zhi was having a very happy time.

Tao Shuxin has gone back to Nanxi to visit relatives recently, and she hasn't seen Xu Mingyuan for more than a week.

When she heard that she would go traveling for ten days or half a month, Yang Zhi was even more happy, and even the smile on her little face seemed to brighten.

It would be best if you don’t come back for the entire summer vacation.

Although this is impossible, what if a low-probability event occurs?
However, Yang Zhi did not have any dark thoughts, because she knew very well that if something really happened to Tao Shuxin, Xu Mingyuan would never be able to overcome this hurdle in his heart.

The best thing would be to wait until my brother gets tired of Tao Shuxin, so that I can have him all to myself.

But if my brother is tired of Tao Shuxin, will he be tired of me too?

When he thought of this, Yang Zhi felt a little conflicted again.

Girls' thoughts are always changing.

"Xiaoyuanyuan, do you miss me~~~"

Tao Shuxin was on the other end of the phone, asking Xu Mingyuan in a sweet voice.

The little girl's voice was soft to begin with, and when she was hiding in the quilt and talking on the phone, she subconsciously added a little choke to it, which made it sound even sweeter.

Xu Mingyuan's bones softened after hearing this, so he smiled and asked, "Do you think I've thought about it?"

"Hehe, if you don't want to, I'll beat you." Tao Shuxin said with a grunt.

"Haha, I must have thought about it. Do you need to ask?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Just ask, then let me ask you, how much do you miss it~" Tao Shuxin asked relentlessly.

"Think as much as you can."

"Me too~ But I miss you a little more than you miss me, hehehe..."

Tao Shuxin smiled foolishly.

Xu Mingyuan heard the rustling sound over there, and he knew without a doubt that she was rolling back and forth on the bed holding the quilt.

Yang Zhi, who was listening to the laughter nearby, shuddered deliberately. When she saw Xu Mingyuan looking at her, she looked back with a twisted face.

Xu Mingyuan felt embarrassed by her gaze, so he grabbed Xiao Yangzhi's soft and elastic buttocks.

Yang Zhi tried hard to hold her mouth and not make any noise. She waited until he had pinched her enough before continuing to eat the apple in her hand, deliberately making a "crunching" sound when she bit it.

"What's that sound? What are you doing?" Tao Shuxin asked for the sake of conversation.

"I'm eating an apple." Xu Mingyuan looked at Xiao Yangzhi helplessly and said.

"I want to eat too~" Tao Shuxin said with a pout.

"Get out of bed and get it." Xu Mingyuan said.

"I want you to feed me." Tao Shuxin said reluctantly.

"Here, open your mouth and I'll feed you." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

“Ah…mmmm, muah muah muah…I got it!”

Silly Tao Shuxin smacked her lips intentionally, as if she had really tasted it.

After all, she is a love-brained girl, so it is inevitable that she likes to do such childish things to ease the pain of missing someone.

When Yang Zhi heard the conversation between the two, she didn't even hesitate. She immediately took a piece of the apple and fed it to Xu Mingyuan herself.

You can feed apples to me through the air, right? I can feed them to me in person.

Yang Zhi looked resentful, but still felt a little proud in her heart. Then her mouth movements became more frequent. After eating an apple, she took out another apple from the fruit basket without hesitation and continued feeding the baby.

"Hey~ Xu Mingyuan! Stop eating!" Tao Shuxin on the other end of the phone was very resentful and said angrily: "Why do you always eat when you are on the phone recently?"

"Can't I just eat something?"

Xu Mingyuan stroked Xiao Yangzhi's back and felt a little guilty towards Xiao Taotao.

However, after Xiao Yangzhi gave him two kisses, Xu Mingyuan's remaining sense of guilt disappeared.

Because little Yang Zhi is the miserable one. She has been miserable since she was a child, and now she has to listen to Xu Mingyuan having a sweet phone call with Tao Shuxin.

After all, even if Xiao Yangzhi didn't mind what Xu Mingyuan did outside, she couldn't help feeling a little sour in her heart.

"You know I'm greedy. When I hear you eating, I want to eat too." Tao Shuxin accused with great resentment.

"Then just go ahead and eat it. Who's stopping you?" Xu Mingyuan said.

"I just brushed my teeth and my mother wouldn't let me eat." Tao Shuxin said resentfully.

"You eat less after brushing your teeth? Why are you pretending? Just rinse your mouth more after eating, it's okay." Xu Mingyuan said.

"No, no, if mom sees us, she will definitely scold me. How can we still make a phone call then?" Tao Shuxin said with a sigh.

"Then you won't try to prevent Teacher He from seeing it? You'd better be careful and go secretly." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Don't tempt me, I can't stop once I start eating." Tao Shuxin said very temptedly.

"Go ahead, go ahead. Stealing food tastes better."

Xu Mingyuan took the food from Xiao Yangzhi and said to Tao Shuxin.

"Yes, yes! No, I want to steal a plate of pig's trotters from the refrigerator too!"

Tao Shuxin could not resist being encouraged, not to mention the desire for food.

Yang Zhi listened to the conversation between the two, frowned and looked at Xu Mingyuan, wanting to see if he said that on purpose.

When Yang Zhi saw a hint of mischief in Xu Mingyuan's smile, she knew that he said that on purpose.

They did it right in front of me, how can this be called stealing? Tsk…

Yang Zhi put Tao Shuxin in the position of mistress without thinking, because she was the real wife in the family.

"It's almost ten o'clock, and you're still eating pig's trotters? How can you digest it? No wonder Teacher He doesn't let you eat it, you should be more careful."

Although Xu Mingyuan's bad taste can never be satisfied, he still reminds Xiao Taotao considerately.

"Do you think I'm stupid? I won't eat much, otherwise mom will find out there are fewer pig's trotters in the bowl tomorrow!" Tao Shuxin lowered her voice and said with a strong sense of stealth.

However, Xu Mingyuan could still hear the crisp "tapping" sound of the silly Tao Shuxin's slippers through the receiver of the mobile phone.

Nine forty is not early, but it is certainly not very late. At this time, He Qiong is usually reading in the living room.

As expected, Xu Mingyuan heard faint sounds of conversation coming from the other end of the phone.

Although I couldn't hear what Teacher He said clearly, Tao Shuxin's words were very clear: "I'm hungry, what's wrong with eating something... I don't want to, just eat it... Oh, okay, mom, I can eat an apple, right?... Okay, okay, I'll just eat one..."

Tao Shuxin kept talking for a long time, but in the end she didn't get the braised pig's trotters she wanted most.

I am already a 21-year-old girl. If I want to have some snacks at night, I still need to ask my mother for permission...

However, this is also a common problem in teachers' families. All the big and small things in life will be lectured.

Perhaps it was because Tao Shuxin was controlled too strictly that the rubber band in her heart finally broke. Later, her stubborn temper came up and she just refused to listen to her mother.

How to make Tao Shuxin make the rubber band in his heart become fully elastic is the most urgent thing Xu Mingyuan is facing now.

"Hehehe, although I only took one apple, I also took two peaches~~~"

After Tao Shuxin returned to the room, she didn't even lock the door and showed off to Xu Mingyuan.

"Teacher He just doesn't want to bother with you." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Yeah, you know, my mom cooks delicious food. I ate a lot for dinner, so I can't have snacks. Sigh..."

Tao Shuxin now had something to eat. Although it was not as delicious as the food she stole, it was at least something to chew in her mouth.

Otherwise, Tao Shuxin would almost drool just listening to Xu Mingyuan eating.

Every time Yang Zhi heard Xu Mingyuan talking on the phone, she ate a lot, but she couldn't always feed him with her mouth.

After all, this was a bad thing. Every time Yang Zhi saw Xu Mingyuan's eyes a few centimeters away from her and looking at her with a teasing look, she always felt a little shy.

However, Yang Zhi still found some peanuts and melon seeds, picked up the kernels with her fingers, and continued to feed snacks to Xu Mingyuan, determined to make Tao Shuxin on the opposite side jealous to death.

After staying with Xu Mingyuan for a long time, Yang Zhi felt that she was becoming more and more like him, just liking to do naughty things...

"Xiao Yuanyuan, you really don't want to travel with me." Tao Shuxin complained.

"I even turned down business trips because I was too busy at work and didn't have time to go."

As Xu Mingyuan spoke, he rubbed the little willow branch vigorously twice.

Yang Zhi bit her lips and endured Xu Mingyuan's kneading. Her face flushed slightly and her eyes curved.

It seems that my brother cares about me the most, otherwise why couldn’t he find time for me?

"Alas, I will be organizing a tour to Ling Province the day after tomorrow, and I won't be able to see them for a long time. Hey! Do you really not want to go and see the elephants?" Tao Shuxin said tearfully.

"I don't want to. Hey! Stop pretending to cry." Xu Mingyuan said.

"You bastard! It's fine if you don't comfort me, but you even said I was pretending to cry! Huh, hh, hh..." Tao Shuxin said crying.

"Haha, you are going there to have fun, not to suffer. Do you need my comfort? Then don't go." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Ah, actually I don't want to go either. I didn't go during those two years in high school. I really want to go out and have some fun, but now I feel it's better to stay at home. You don't know, last year my family went to climb Mount Tai to watch the sunrise, but I was exhausted and got mosquito bites all over my body. I'm never going again..."

Once Tao Shuxin started complaining, she never stopped.

Xu Mingyuan just listened quietly. When she was thirsty and went to drink water, he said, "Then you won't go. What's there to do?"

"I've bought the tickets, I have to go. Anyway, I won't go again next year. I've almost been to every corner of the country. Being a teacher is pretty leisurely. At least I have time to travel, which is not bad when I think about it." Tao Shuxin said.

"Then you will become a teacher in the future," said Xu Mingyuan.

"I don't want to be a teacher, I want to play all the time, hehehe..." Tao Shuxin said with a silly smile.

"Then you stay at home and go wherever you want to travel in the future. I will support you." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Oh, no, that won't work. Wouldn't I be like Xiao Zhizhi? I would be out of touch with society and my mother would beat me to death."

Tao Shuxin did not hesitate and rejected the conditions that were very tempting to Xiao Yangzhi.

"You little girl, you're secretly saying bad things about Xiao Yangzhi behind her back, right? Hahaha..."

Xu Mingyuan glanced at Xiao Yangzhi, and seeing her resentful look, he couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at? It's just like that. Xiao Zhizhi isn't here, so why should I be afraid? Besides, your family is really something. Xiao Zhizhi never leaves the house and doesn't even have any friends. What if she gets sick?"

How could Tao Shuxin know that Xu Mingyuan was using the speakerphone and that Xiao Yangzhi was not only eavesdropping, but was also eavesdropping in his arms.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're fine, she just stays at home a little bit, how could she get sick from being unable to hold it in?"

In the past, Xu Mingyuan was just like Tao Shuxin, always thinking about letting Xiao Yangzhi go out for a walk, otherwise she would have psychological problems sooner or later.

However, Xiao Yangzhi's psychology had been damaged for a long time, otherwise she would not have stayed by Xu Mingyuan's side and eavesdropped on his phone call with Tao Shuxin.

How could a normal person do such a thing?

"Well, it doesn't matter. Your family is rich anyway, so it's not difficult to raise a little sister. It's just that Xiao Zhizhi is too soft-hearted. If she gets married, she will probably be bullied." Tao Shuxin said with emotion.

"My brother won't bully me."

Yang Zhi couldn't help but mutter to herself as she listened to Tao Shuxin saying bad things about her.

"Eh? Why do I hear someone talking over there?"

Tao Shuxin on the other end of the phone scratched his head and asked curiously.

"Oh, I was watching a movie on my laptop." Xu Mingyuan made up an excuse.

"Hey! Can you please concentrate a little? I'm talking to you on the phone and I'm not doing anything else. How can you still have the nerve to watch a movie?" Tao Shuxin pouted and complained resentfully.

"Didn't I miss the chance to call you?"

Xu Mingyuan kneaded Xiao Yangzhi's smooth face and couldn't help but kiss her...
