Chapter 409 Worry
Chapter 409 Worry
The easiest way to get closer is over a drink, which is much simpler and quicker than giving gifts or having a heart-to-heart talk.
Xu Mingyuan is a seasoned man. Even if Su Muqing has a high EQ, she is still a girl of 23 or 24 years old, and she is still too young in front of him.
And to be honest, Su Muqing's acting skills are far, far worse than Xiao Yangzhi's.
After all, Xiao Yangzhi can do it quietly, while Su Muqing can only do it on the surface.
Some things that are innate cannot be learned.
"Sister Qingqing, goodbye."
Tao Shuxin waved her hand lightly.
"Goodbye Taotao, goodbye sister, goodbye Mingyuan, goodbye to you too."
Su Muqing drove the three people to the community, then got into the car that came with them and left.
The wine had a strong aftereffect, so I didn’t feel anything while eating, but when I went to the hotel to sing for the second show, I felt a little dazed.
Tao Shuxin was relatively okay. When Su Muqing was first taken away, her steps were a little unsteady. She drank the most today.
Although Su Muqing has been trying hard to please, she is showing her sincerity.
Xu Mingyuan also cooperated well and acted out the scene. After all, Su Muqing worked for free without receiving any salary, and her abilities should not be underestimated. She must be the boss's darling.
"Xiaoyuanyuan, you are so enthusiastic."
As soon as Su Muqing left, Tao Shuxin curled her lips and started to speak in a sarcastic tone.
Tao Shuxin had seen Xu Mingyuan and Su Muqing meet before, but he usually ignored them.
Today he suddenly changed his personality. He responded to every word Su Muqing said. Could it be that Xu Mingyuan thought she was pretty?
"My brother is just pretending to be enthusiastic."
Yang Zhi, who was following silently, saw Tao Shuxin putting half of her body weight on Xu Mingyuan, so she explained for Xu Mingyuan.
Tao Shuxin is now acting like a spoiled brat under the influence of alcohol. If she continues to act like that, we won't be able to go home in twenty or thirty minutes.
Yang Zhi, who had been impatient of staying outside for a long time, just wanted to lie down for a while.
"Fake enthusiasm? How come I didn't see it?" Tao Shuxin continued to speak in a rhythmic manner.
"Because he is my brother." Yang Zhi said lightly.
"Uh, okay..."
Tao Shuxin was choked and felt that what she said made a lot of sense.
In fact, Tao Shuxin was not jealous, she just wanted to find an excuse after drinking to test whether Xu Mingyuan was tired of her.
Because from the ambiguous period in high school to the two of them about to face their junior year, this long-distance relationship has lasted for almost three years.
Young girls are always a little worried and anxious, especially after drinking, they are more likely to show their truest side.
Xu Mingyuan's career was of such high level that Tao Shuxin had seen what he was doing before, but it seemed as if in the blink of an eye, he had suddenly achieved his current scale.
In the past, Dad could still cooperate with Xu Mingyuan, but now he can’t help much and can only watch him move forward.
If things continue in this trend, Tao Shuxin is afraid that she and Xu Mingyuan will have nothing in common in the future.
In the past, Tao Shuxin thought that with Xu Mingyuan's ability, it would be great if he could do the same as her father.
Even if Xu Mingyuan couldn't do it, Tao Shuxin thought it would be nice for the two of them to be ordinary people together. They just went to get off work and came home. Their family was not short of money, so at worst they could get some money from their parents' home to support their family.
After fooling around with Xu Mingyuan for a long time, he was also willing to play with me.
This was the way they got along every day, and Tao Shuxin didn't feel that Xu Mingyuan was any different.
But today, after seeing the online press releases about Xu Mingyuan and everyone's discussions, Tao Shuxin suddenly came to his senses. It turned out that he had already reached a position that he could hardly have imagined.
Tao Shuxin's childish thoughts became increasingly dim, and she suddenly felt a sense of unreality in her heart, as if something was visible and tangible, yet far away.
Tao Shuxin is a very average drinker and he makes a lot of noise under the influence of alcohol.
She wanted Xu Mingyuan to hug her and hold her, and it took her five or six minutes to go up the stairs.
Fortunately, Xiao Yangzhi hadn't drunk a drop of alcohol, otherwise Xu Mingyuan would have been really troubled.
The family always has hangover remedies on hand. Although Xu Mingyuan rarely attends social events now, the thoughtful Yang Zhi still brings back a few boxes from Nanxi's home as a backup, in case he drinks too much and can't take it one day.
However, Xu Mingyuan can no longer use it, so it is given to Tao Shuxin first.
"I don't drink. I'm not drunk..."
Tao Shuxin muttered and slapped Xu Mingyuan's hand away.
"If you don't drink, I will."
Xu Mingyuan bit open the hangover remedy. Although he was not drunk, drinking this stuff after drinking was less harmful than alcohol.
"No, I want to drink too~"
Seeing that Xu Mingyuan really didn't care about her anymore, Tao Shuxin reached out and snatched the half-drunk hangover remedy from him and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Haha, what are you doing today? You didn't drink as much as the last time we had a barbecue on the balcony. Just pretend here. I won't pay attention to Su Muqing next time, okay?"
Xu Mingyuan held her little face in his hands and shook it, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, trying to shake the water out of her head.
"I've drunk too much. My head is spinning. Please stop shaking."
Tao Shuxin struggled several times and finally escaped from his hands.
"You said you weren't drunk just now, but now you're drunk?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"I just drank too much."
Tao Shuxin knew very well that she couldn't hide this little bit of her from Xu Mingyuan. But she was already halfway through pretending to be drunk, so she couldn't give up halfway.
So he didn't care whether Xiao Yangzhi was there or not, he just crossed over Xu Mingyuan's legs, hugged his neck, and started biting him. Yangzhi finally couldn't stand it anymore, even if she was brave, she wouldn't dare to treat Xu Mingyuan like this.
Tao Shuxin, you are so shameless...
Yang Zhi left the living room in disgust, took a quick shower without even washing today's clothes, and went back to her room to stare blankly.
The girl was very proactive today. Not only did she take Xu Mingyuan to wash up, but when she returned to the room she seemed like a different person. She changed from her usual shyness and took the initiative to press him down shamelessly.
Finally exhausted, Tao Shuxin fell limply to the side, hugging Xu Mingyuan skin to skin. Without saying a word, she just stared at him with her big eyes that sparkled in the night.
"What's wrong with you? Is it because of Su Muqing? At worst, I will just ignore her in the future. I mean what I say and I didn't lie to you." Xu Mingyuan said.
It is easy to guess what the little girl is thinking, but Xu Mingyuan is not a god, and it is impossible for him to guess everything.
Xu Mingyuan didn't think it was Su Muqing's fault, but he couldn't think of why. Could it be that Xiao Yangzhi had eaten seafood today and peeled too many shrimp shells for him?
It's not like they haven't eaten shrimps at home before. Although Xiao Yangzhi doesn't peel shrimps for Tao Shuxin, the little girl will still snatch them away.
"No, it has nothing to do with her."
After calming down her blushing and heart-pounding emotions for a while, Tao Shuxin, who was completely sober, muttered softly.
"Why is that?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"Alas, I'm afraid that we will have nothing in common in the future." Tao Shuxin said with a sigh.
A little girl will never keep her thoughts to herself for long. When she feels uncomfortable, she will speak out.
"Are you stupid? I thought it was something else. Why are you thinking about this when you have nothing to do? I thought when you were taking a shower just now, the water flowed through your ears and into your head."
Xu Mingyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he pinched the little girl's ears to see if there was water in her brain.
"..."
Tao Shuxin didn't say anything and just let him torture her.
Now Xu Mingyuan was puzzled. The little girl did not retort this time. It seemed that she really cared about this matter.
"How could we have no common language? Haven't you noticed? You, a little girl, have grown up, but I haven't changed at all from the beginning to the end. I have always been the same person." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Yes, that's why I'm worried that if you change, what should I do?"
Tao Shuxin's slightly cool lips gently touched Xu Mingyuan's chest, and she wrapped half of her body around him.
"Impossible, I will always be consistent." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"But what if?" Tao Shuxin asked relentlessly.
"How should I put it? There's really no such thing as a what-if. My senior year of high school was the year when I changed the most. My entire character was determined that year, and it's been very difficult to change myself. In fact, I have tried to change, but I am just the same person. No matter how much I change, I can never become a different person," Xu Mingyuan said with some emotion.
"That's right. You changed so much during your year in high school that I almost didn't recognize you." Tao Shuxin nodded in agreement.
"Have I become worse or better?" Xu Mingyuan asked with a smile.
"Hmm...what do you mean?" Tao Shuxin scratched his head and thought for a while before saying with certainty, "Yes, it has improved. I feel like you have become mature all of a sudden."
"Haha, is that so?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Yes, is it because of something that happened in your family that you changed?" Tao Shuxin asked.
"That's about the same." Xu Mingyuan said.
"So you and I have nothing in common? I also want to put myself in your shoes, but I can't fully understand you, alas..."
Tao Shuxin sighed again subconsciously. She was a little girl who had lived a very happy life since childhood. How could she understand Xu Mingyuan's experience?
Little Yangzhi was even more miserable. Tao Shuxin was an emotional girl. Every time she heard Xu Mingyuan telling her story, she would cry and want to cry.
But this only felt that Xiao Yangzhi was pitiful. Tao Shuxin knew very well that this was not understanding.
"What's so hard to understand about this?" Xu Mingyuan smiled and kissed her and said, "Everyone has their own way of living. We should look forward to the future."
"I'm just afraid of the future. You and Su Muqing are having a great conversation about career, and I don't know how to interrupt them."
Tao Shuxin swayed her body with a look of resentment, whining and feeling jealous.
"Isn't it because of her? Then I will ignore her in the future." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Oh~ No, I'm just afraid that you will have less and less to say to me in the future, and your heart will fly away. There are so many beautiful girls out there, they are so tempting. Can you guarantee that you can resist it for the rest of your life?" Tao Shuxin said with a snort.
Tao Shuxin's greatest strength is that she can't hide her thoughts. She just says whatever she wants to say, and Xu Mingyuan doesn't have to guess.
Seeing the little girl spill her heart and return to her old self, Xu Mingyuan smiled and said, "Just keep it to yourself. Don't you realize it yet? When did I ever look at someone's appearance? Like that Qin Man, did you ever pay attention to her? And the little girl named Yu in high school, what was her name? Didn't I ignore her as well?"
"Humph, her name is Yu Caiwei."
Tao Shuxin called out her name reluctantly.
"Haha, you remember it quite clearly. I even forgot what she looked like." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"How could I not know? I always flirt with you. You are still a naughty boy but you still don't learn your lesson. Huh, hhh..." Tao Shuxin said angrily.
"It's not as exaggerated as you say. At most, she would take a look at him if they met on the road." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Look, look! You still say you didn't remember it! I think you remember it very clearly! Isn't that called a wink? I think her eyes are about to shed tears."
Tao Shuxin left Xu Mingyuan's arms, propped herself up on her elbows and stared at him.
"Are you looking for trouble? What I meant is that I don't remember her appearance clearly, but I can't forget all the things that happened to me, right?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Hehe, you'd better do this. If you dare to mess around outside, I'll cut it off for you..."
Tao Shuxin placed her palm on his chest, then slowly slid down and stopped.
You bastard, why don't you take the initiative? I don't even have the energy to take the initiative anymore...
