Chapter 423 Settlement
Chapter 423 Settlement
After they changed into their home clothes, held hands and snuggled together and returned to the room, Tao Shuxin couldn't help blushing when she saw the mess in the room.
The black leather sandals on her feet had actually been kicked off by Tao Shuxin more than two hours ago, and were now lying quietly on the ground, one on each side.
However, the light pink quilt with floral patterns was still scratched with several marks, destroying the girlish room into pieces.
Although Tao Shuxin knew that she was already a young woman, not a girl, she still had a sincere girlish heart...
"You go wash up!"
Tao Shuxin pushed Xu Mingyuan angrily and went to pick up the sandals on the ground.
"Just wash it. We have a washing machine at home. It's not a hassle."
As Xu Mingyuan spoke, he went to help Tao Shuxin clean up the house.
"Look at my skirt, it's all wrinkled!"
Tao Shuxin still likes this pleated skirt very much. Every time she wears it, she feels like a literary young woman. Now she should take a book to the lakeside, enjoy the breeze, and express her feelings.
However, before the enthusiasm of this literary young woman had faded, she was overturned by the bastard Xu Mingyuan.
"It's just a torn skirt. I'll buy you ten more, one for the morning and one for the evening. We can wear them in different styles."
Xu Mingyuan smiled without raising his head and continued to clean up the garbage on the ground.
"No, I don't want to. The skirt isn't broken, I just need to iron it. It's such a hassle."
Tao Shuxin pouted to express her dissatisfaction.
Change one in the morning and evening?
You think beautifully!
"Then throw it to the dry cleaner." Xu Mingyuan said.
"No, who knows if the dry cleaner is clean and hygienic? I won't let anyone wash my underwear." Tao Shuxin replied.
"Then why do you let Xiao Yangzhi wash you?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Oh, it's not a big deal to throw it into the washing machine. Xiao Zhizhi loves cleanliness so of course she washes it hygienically." Tao Shuxin said speciously.
After seeing Xu Mingyuan always feel at ease throwing his coats and other clothes to Xiao Yangzhi to wash, Tao Shuxin, after getting familiar with her, sometimes asked her to help throw her clothes into the washing machine.
Although it is not a troublesome thing, it is always easier if I don't have to do it myself.
"Ha, you are just lazy." Xu Mingyuan laughed.
"You are lazy..."
Tao Shuxin felt a little embarrassed. In fact, she realized that she was the laziest person in the family.
Xu Mingyuan usually has something to do, not to mention that he often goes out. Even when he is at home, he often looks at reports, writes plans, etc.
Little Yangzhi just doesn't go out, but she is very diligent. When she has nothing to do, she will wipe the table, the wardrobe, etc. She is more diligent than a little bee.
Only Tao Shuxin herself would lie on the sofa whenever she returned home, then pull the trash can to her side and start stuffing snacks and fruits into her mouth...
Tao Shuxin knew very well that apart from studying, he had no self-awareness in anything else.
If I stay at home for too long, sooner or later they will turn me into a useless person.
Although this kind of life is very comfortable, Tao Shuxin still has some pursuits.
Although she asked Xu Mingyuan to wash the sheets and quilt covers, Tao Shuxin still chose to do it herself.
Because she knew that Xu Mingyuan lived a rough life and even used a handful of detergent when washing clothes.
After doing this several times, the water still couldn't remove the remaining detergent on the clothes. He insisted that this was the only way to wash them clean, without any of Xiao Yangzhi's meticulousness.
"Eh? Why was the lounge chair moved to the balcony?"
Tao Shuxin, who came up with clothes, asked casually to Xu Mingyuan who was hanging up bedding.
"Xiao Yangzhi will come up in the evening to look at the night sky." Xu Mingyuan also said casually.
"Wow! Watching the stars? Isn't she so stylish?"
Tao Shuxin opened her mouth wide, realizing that compared to Xiao Yangzhi, she was the literary girl, while she was just a flash in the pan and could not look at the night sky calmly.
The evening TV dramas are the best to watch. It’s good enough that Tao Shuxin doesn’t sit in front of the TV. How could she think of looking at the stars?
"Haha, she just simply likes to daydream." Xu Mingyuan replied with a smile.
"Alas, I also want to come up here at night to look at the night sky. I haven't had a close look at it since I bought this house."
Tao Shuxin was very melancholy. Xiao Yangzhi was studying painting and gazing at the stars. Wasn't she a typical literary girl?
At this time, Tao Shuxin finally came to his senses. It turned out that he was exactly the same as Xu Mingyuan, a complete vulgar person.
Oh, I don't want to admit it...
"Look, who is stopping you? If you feel bored, I will come and hold you in my arms at night." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"I won't let you hold me. The recliner is about to collapse. Humph..."
Tao Shuxin rolled her eyes pretentiously. Xu Mingyuan's suggestion was definitely not a good thing.
"Haha, wouldn't it be better if you just don't move around?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"I'm just afraid that you'll move around!" Tao Shuxin said unhappily.
"How could that be?"
Xu Mingyuan smiled and continued to bicker with the little girl.
"How could that be? Huh? You bastard, you never say a word of truth, I don't believe you!" Tao Shuxin said angrily with a puffy face.
"What have I not done that I promised you? How can you go back on your word?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"How dare you say that!" Tao Shuxin's eyes widened immediately, and then she showed a shy look of a little girl, muttering softly: "You forgot after just a while? You clearly promised me to take off my shoes..." "Didn't I take them off for you?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"That was so long ago! You don't keep your word!"
"Okay, isn't it just a little fun? I see you're quite happy." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Get lost! You're talking nonsense! You're making things up! You're framing a good person! How can I be happy?"
Tao Shuxin jumped up suddenly. She would never admit this!
"Okay, okay, it's okay for me to not keep my word, right?"
Seeing Tao Shuxin talking about little things one after another, Xu Mingyuan knew that she was very embarrassed, so he had to smile and give her a way out.
The little girl was a stubborn person and Xu Mingyuan would never argue with her. After all, since he actually gained some benefits, he had to make some concessions in words.
"Look, look, you admit it, right?" Tao Shuxin immediately accused.
"Yes, I admit it. I don't keep my word." Xu Mingyuan nodded and smiled.
"Humph~"
Tao Shuxin raised his head triumphantly, extremely proud.
The innocent heart of the little girl could not understand that she was the one who was bullied the most. Even if she was sold, she would still count the money for Xu Mingyuan in various ways...
"Oh, by the way, how about we buy a telescope for Xiao Zhizhi? How far can she see if she only relies on her eyes?" Tao Shuxin said suddenly on a whim.
"I've asked before, but Xiao Yangzhi doesn't want it. She just simply likes to daydream." Xu Mingyuan said casually.
"If she doesn't want it, why don't you buy it for her?" Tao Shuxin asked with wide eyes.
"Then why buy it? She doesn't like it." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Really, Brother Xiaoyuan? If she doesn't want it, that means she doesn't like you? How can you be a brother?" Tao Shuxin complained with a frown.
"If she doesn't like it, she doesn't like it. There's no need for her to lie to me." Xu Mingyuan said helplessly.
"What do you know? How can you know that you don't like it if you haven't experienced it? You don't understand girls' minds at all..." Tao Shuxin looked at him with disdain, and then asked in surprise: "Hey, you don't give Xiao Zhizhi gold bars every time you give her a gift, do you?"
"That's about right. Give her some pocket money or something. She loves saving money the most, and I can't tell what she likes." Xu Mingyuan said.
Xiao Yangzhi doesn’t have many hobbies and interests, and basically spends all day around Xu Mingyuan.
If Xiao Yangzhi really likes something, even if she doesn't say it, Xu Mingyuan will definitely be able to see it.
"You really are... Alas, I am too tired to complain about you! You can save enough money, okay? It's not like I haven't saved money before. It's meaningless to save money that is not earned by yourself." Tao Shuxin said speechlessly.
"That's true. I didn't expect you to be so smart." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"How dare you mock me? Let's go shopping in the afternoon and buy some painting supplies for Xiao Yangzhi on the way." Tao Shuxin said.
"Aren't you tired?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"Not tired! If you're not tired, why should I be tired? I'm telling you, you're not allowed to make excuses!"
Tao Shuxin, who loved jumping around, grabbed Xu Mingyuan and went to change clothes, not even planning to eat lunch at home.
Tao Shuxin, who had been feeling depressed for a long time, wanted to have a shameless time with Xu Mingyuan all day long.
But after being satisfied physically and mentally, I no longer think so. After all, there is still time tomorrow. If I don’t go out today while I am in a good mood, I may not want to move tomorrow.
Of course, the little girl can't stay idle at home. If she has the chance to go shopping, she will definitely not miss it. It just so happens that Xu Mingyuan is free today.
The two of them shopped until the afternoon, and after visiting two large shopping malls, they finally bought an entry-level refracting telescope from an optical instrument store.
Xu Mingyuan bought a whole set of painting supplies that Xiao Yangzhi needed, including supplies for sketching, Chinese painting, and oil painting, which was enough for at least one semester.
When the two of them came to pick up Shanshan and arrived at the south gate of Jiangda University, Xiao Yangzhi was already waiting by the guard.
"I'm sorry, Xiaozhizhi, we went to buy you a drawing board. We ran a little far, hehe."
Tao Shuxin, who was sitting in the driver's seat, leaned out and called out to Xiao Yangzhi, who was walking towards the car, with a little embarrassment.
"It's okay, I just disbanded not long ago."
Yang Zhi, dressed in camouflage uniform with a sunburned blush on her face, opened the back door and sat in.
"It's all your brother's fault. He always likes to step on the spur of the moment."
Tao Shuxin, who was sitting in the driver's seat, put the blame on Xu Mingyuan without even thinking about it.
It's Xu Mingyuan's fault, because he kept saying there's no need to rush...
"Time is money. It's good to step on the right track so as not to waste time."
Yang Zhi glanced at Tao Shuxin from the rearview mirror in the car and said in a flat tone.
"Haha, actually I was delayed a bit because of buying groceries."
After hearing what Xiao Yangzhi said, Tao Shuxin immediately smiled with joy.
"Try to come earlier next time. I don't like waiting either."
Yang Zhi could accept waiting for her brother, but she was unwilling to accept waiting for others.
You still want to put the blame on my brother? You must be dreaming...
"Uh, okay..."
The smile on Tao Shuxin's face became stiff, and he didn't feel comfortable talking to her anymore.
Xiao Yangzhi is so bad that he even sets a trap!
How could a simple girl like her know this? It must have been taught by that bad guy Xu Mingyuan...
