Chapter 419 Being Liked
"Brother Xiaoyuan, have you noticed that Xiaozhizhi is a little different recently?"
The two of them were strolling under the shade of the tree with their fingers intertwined, and Tao Shuxin suddenly asked.
"Is it different? Why didn't I notice it? Hasn't Xiao Yangzhi always been the same?" Xu Mingyuan said.
"Eh~No, she doesn't seem as cold as before." Tao Shuxin retorted with a frown.
"Oh, that means I'm familiar with you," Xu Mingyuan said casually.
"No way, we've known each other for such a long time and we've only just become familiar with each other?" Tao Shuxin said with a twisted face.
"What else? Xiao Yangzhi lacks a sense of security. She is a girl who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Once she gets familiar with you, she won't be cold to you anymore," said Xu Mingyuan.
"Really? Why do I feel like she's becoming more and more distant from me?" Tao Shuxin asked puzzledly.
"You always touch her when you have nothing to do. Don't you see that she always wears long clothes and long pants when she goes out? She doesn't like others to look at her, let alone touch her." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Yes, she rarely wears short sleeves and she doesn't mind the heat. I always thought she was afraid of the cold because her hands and feet are always cold when I touch them." Tao Shuxin touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
"Why did you touch her feet?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"It's fun. She doesn't have any ticklish spots on her body. Her feet will tremble when you tickle them. Hehehe..." Tao Shuxin said with a silly smile.
"what……"
Xu Mingyuan was too embarrassed to answer. He just laughed awkwardly and shook his head. He was too embarrassed to say that he knew the matter clearly even if he mentioned it.
Xiao Yangzhi's school started smoothly. Xu Mingyuan had arranged everything in advance, so she didn't even have to go to the new student registration office. He also invited her counselor to dinner, and she didn't even attend the class meeting at the beginning of the school year.
Jiangnan University was originally an engineering school, but later merged with several universities to form a comprehensive university with a wide range of disciplines, offering almost any major.
Majors like art are all technical colleges, but the requirements are still very strict. The total number of new students admitted each year is less than 300, and you must have special skills.
It turned out that Qin Man was a dance student at Jiangda University, and her major had less than 20 students. And Xiao Yangzhi's painting major had even fewer students, maybe only a dozen.
This type of major was established by Jiangda specifically to support the faculty and staff who had nowhere to go after the merger. It is not advisable to recruit too many people, because they are worried about damaging the reputation of Jiangda.
It was my junior year.
Tao Shuxin finally felt that she was a grown-up girl and she couldn't be as naive as before when she was outside.
Tao Shuxin no longer wears half-sleeves with cartoon patterns, and she only wears her two cute little pigtails when she feels like it in private. She then stands in front of the mirror, looking left and right, to look cute and pink.
Based on previous school start experiences, Tao Shuxin should have explicitly told Xu Mingyuan that her birthday was coming up and that she should have thought about birthday gifts months in advance.
However, it is already September today and Tao Shuxin no longer mentions it.
Firstly, Tao Shuxin thought this behavior was quite childish, and secondly, she herself felt that always asking Xu Mingyuan for gifts was actually quite annoying.
Although Xu Mingyuan didn't care, Tao Shuxin herself felt a little embarrassed.
Second, Tao Shuxin realized that when he compared himself with the freshmen, the gap suddenly became apparent.
Wow!
It seems that my youthful time is about to end!
Girls are generally very sensitive about the issue of age. Thinking that their youth is coming to an end, Tao Shuxin wants to stay eighteen forever.
I still remember the years when I was eighteen, with tears and laughter, the confusion when I just entered the third year of high school, the quarrels and bickering with Xu Mingyuan, and of course the ambiguity and entanglement.
It is always difficult to guess what someone is thinking during an ambiguous period. Tao Shuxin remembers that her mood fluctuated greatly every day. Occasionally, she would hide under the quilt and secretly wipe away her tears, and she didn't know why she was crying.
Although Xu Mingyuan was partly responsible, it was not all.
Because when she was flirting with him, Tao Shuxin was still very happy.
Occasionally, if she accidentally rubbed her fingertips, Tao Shuxin's heart would beat for a long time.
Especially when that bastard deliberately found an opportunity to pull her hand, she felt a throbbing feeling of wanting to escape but being unable to. Now when Tao Shuxin thinks back on it, the corners of her mouth can't help but slightly rise.
Of course, Xu Mingyuan definitely accounts for a considerable part of the reason.
Thinking of his indifferent attitude towards everything in the world, Tao Shuxin now wanted to pinch him a couple of times to vent his hatred.
This bastard didn't even know how confused he was at the beginning. When he thought about the possibility of parting ways in the future, Tao Shuxin couldn't help feeling scared.
There is no need to think about these things now, because Xu Mingyuan may have expected that this day would come for them. He is such a smart man that he will definitely plan for the future in an orderly manner.
Thinking that Xu Mingyuan probably wanted to see her embarrassed on purpose, Tao Shuxin became angry and wanted to hit him.
But when Tao Shuxin was about to raise her hand, she found that her fingers were being held in a ring.
It turned out that she had long been accustomed to walking hand in hand with Xu Mingyuan, and almost forgot that they were holding hands tightly.
Tao Shuxin had a sweet smile on her lips. The little depression in her memories had long been thrown out of her mind. She just subconsciously squeezed his hand.
"Hehe..." Tao Shuxin couldn't help but grin after hearing a slightly forceful response from her hand.
"Haha, what are you laughing at?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
Hearing Tao Shuxin's silly giggle, Xu Mingyuan turned his head and saw the little girl's mouth was grinning so wide that even her two little fangs were exposed.
Tao Shuxin is dressed very elegantly today, in a brown pleated skirt, white sneakers and white over-the-ankle socks, with her long black hair draped over an apricot-colored outerwear.
This gentle and intellectual style of dressing seemed to bring Xu Mingyuan back to the past.
However, the reservedness she had just pretended to have was instantly destroyed by that silly smile.
"What do you care about me~"
Tao Shuxin quickly closed her mouth, then shook her head and rolled her eyes at him, but the smile on her face could not be wiped away.
"Do you want to drink juice? You look so happy?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"No, hey! Xiaoyuanyuan, am I that greedy in your mind? Can't I think of anything else except eating all day?"
Tao Shuxin said unhappily that Xu Mingyuan had ruined the atmosphere.
"That means you miss me, what else could it be?"
Xu Mingyuan gave the little girl a kiss on her pink and smooth face which was slightly hot from the scorching air.
“Not really, huhuhuhuhuhu~~~”
Tao Shuxin turned his eyes away, looked down at the spots of light under the shade of the trees, and hummed a soft little tune with his nasal voice.
"If you miss me, come home. I miss you too." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile and shook her hand.
"No, my aunt hasn't left yet..."
Tao Shuxin pouted and started shaking her arms along with him.
"Xiao Taotao, are you so naughty? I just want to hold you and sleep quietly for a night. What are you thinking about?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Get out of here! I'm not thinking about that! It's not like I haven't held you and slept quietly before when I didn't have my period!"
Tao Shuxin glared at him in embarrassment. Although little girls would have hormone disorders when they have their period and would want to do something naughty, she shouldn't think about these things in her mind. Otherwise, how could she do any serious work?
"Just apply for day study like me. I will cover for you with the counselor and you won't notify Teacher He." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Don't give me bad advice! If my mother doesn't hear my roommate talking while she's on the phone, she'll be discovered sooner or later. By then, I'll be surprised if she doesn't rush to Jiangcheng and beat me to death! Then how will you see me? Remember to burn incense for me every year!" Tao Shuxin rolled her eyes and said.
"Teacher He didn't agree with us being together at the beginning, and you were still disobedient, weren't you?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"That's different. Mom didn't oppose us dating at the beginning. She opposed dating because it would delay our college entrance examination. My family attaches great importance to family reputation. If I go home pregnant one day, even if my mother doesn't die of anger, my grandfather will definitely be furious..." Tao Shuxin said with his head shrunk.
"I'm very careful, what are you afraid of?" Xu Mingyuan said.
"No, no, we are now in our third year, which is the most important year in college. Many professional courses will be completed this year, and I still have to study hard." Tao Shuxin said very seriously.
"Hey, these are all tricks teachers use to fool students. You have been studying for so many years. Don't you understand these words that you have heard since childhood?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Do you think I'm a kid? Every year in junior high and high school is the most important year, okay? College is different. The junior year is really the most important year. It is a decisive stage that determines your future direction." Tao Shuxin said seriously.
"Why are you taking it so seriously? Just fool around with it." Xu Mingyuan said casually.
"Of course there's nothing wrong with you fooling around, you have something to do, but I can't, I have to work hard to pass the exam." Tao Shuxin said.
"What do you plan to do in the future? Become a teacher?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"No, let's pass the exam first. There are still two years left and there's no rush to think about these things." Tao Shuxin shook his head and said.
"Then just come to work in my company. Isn't it much more free than working in a classroom and being supervised by others?" Xu Mingyuan said.
"I'm not going. If I go to your place, you will definitely take me out to play. I'm lazy to begin with. If one day I don't like to go out, I will definitely get depressed. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
Thinking of Xiao Yangzhi's daily behavior, Tao Shuxin subconsciously smacked his lips.
"Forget it, since you have an idea, just do it yourself." Xu Mingyuan said.
Seeing that Xiao Taotao was becoming more and more familiar with Xiao Yangzhi, Xu Mingyuan really wanted to bring her home and give her a helping hand so that she could get more and more accustomed to Xiao Yangzhi's presence.
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? At worst I can just skip bedtime a few more times."
Tao Shuxin held Xu Mingyuan's arm, swinging it back and forth, letting him drag her along as she walked.
It feels so comfortable to be liked, especially when you are liked by the person you like, it is so comfortable...
