Chapter 428 Sooner or Later
When Xiao Yangzhi pulled away the refracting telescope in front of the rocking chair, Tao Shuxin finally realized what was happening and opened his eyes.
Tao Shuxin shyly pushed Xu Mingyuan away. Although they would kiss each other in front of Xiao Yangzhi, they never hugged each other and nibbled each other without thinking...
Why is Xiao Yangzhi walking without making any sound? She is like a ghost...
Tao Shuxin was very restless, and the rocking chair made a creaking sound as it rocked.
The maximum load that a wooden rocking chair can bear is only about 200 kilograms. It's no problem to rock it gently, but with Tao Shuxin's jumping style, it will be shaken to pieces sooner or later.
Tao Shuxin just used swaying to relieve her embarrassment, humming a little tune, as if nothing had happened.
And Yang Zhi wanted to roll her eyes. It turned out that Tao Shuxin knew all of her little tricks!
I don’t know if she knew how to do it herself or if her brother taught her. Anyway, Yang Zhi felt very uncomfortable…
Yang Zhi no longer paid attention to the two people in the rocking chair and began to fiddle with the telescope in front of him.
Since buying this refracting telescope, Yang Zhi has only taken a look at it and never used it again.
After all, compared to gazing at the stars, Yang Zhi still prefers to stay with Xu Mingyuan. Even when she comes to the balcony to enjoy the cool air, she likes to stay in his arms and play mobile games together.
The effect of the entry-level refracting telescope is already very good for novices who are just getting started with the starry sky. The craters on the moon are clearly visible.
Normally only half of the crescent moon is visible to the naked eye, but it is hidden in the darkness because of the light.
Yang Zhi was a little curious. The photos he saw on TV were definitely not as interesting as those he saw with his own eyes.
Tao Shuxin swayed in Xu Mingyuan's arms for a while, and seeing Xiao Yangzhi standing motionless in front of the telescope, she jumped off the rocking chair and squeezed away from her.
"Xiao Zhizhi, let me see what you are looking at? Are you looking at the moon? Oh, what's there to see in the moon? Let me teach you, this is an equatorial mount, you can find the positions of the nine planets by adjusting the button on it. Eh? I think it was changed to eight planets some time ago? Tsk tsk, I have been studying for more than ten years, why did it suddenly change? Sigh..."
Tao Shuxin kept muttering to herself, and inadvertently expressed Xu Mingyuan's feelings about the passing of time.
This entry-level refracting telescope was nothing new to Tao Shuxin. She had seen it in the Children's Palace when she was a child, and had also visited the observatory, where the view was much clearer.
Tao Shuxin is very smart. Even Xu Mingyuan didn't understand this telescope, but the little girl studied the instruction manual for a while and figured out how to use it.
"Xiao Zhizhi, come and take a look. This is Saturn. Can you see Saturn's rings? Hey, there's not much to see with an entry-level telescope. Only Saturn is pretty. Even Jupiter's spots are not clear. Tell your brother to buy you a better one..."
Tao Shuxin adjusted the angle of the telescope and gave the position to Xiao Yangzhi.
"I don't want it, this one is fine." Yang Zhi said.
"Hey, are you reluctant to let your brother spend money? How about I give it to you?" Tao Shuxin asked with a smile.
"It's too expensive, let's convert it into gold bars." Yang Zhi said without hesitation.
"Wow! Xiao Zhizhi, I never see you spending money normally. Why are you saving so many gold bars? Are you afraid that your brother won't support you in the future?" Tao Shuxin asked.
"No, my brother will not abandon me." Yang Zhi said lightly.
"What's the reason?" Tao Shuxin asked in confusion.
"Well... there's nothing else I want."
Yang Zhi scratched his hair. He used to think that if his family fell into poverty again, he would not panic if he had extra food.
Although Yang Zhi no longer had such an idea, she did not have any material needs.
Her psychological needs were also met. She could meet her brother every day and this kind of life could be maintained, so Yang Zhi was very satisfied.
The only regret may be that I am not old enough now. In two years, I can have children and then complete the family.
What about future needs?
Yang Zhi hasn't thought that far ahead. She just takes things one step at a time and living a good life in the present is her biggest need.
"Ah, Xiaozhizhi, your life is so boring. What if you get bored at home?"
Of course, Tao Shuxin couldn't understand Xiao Yangzhi's thoughts. She just felt that life doing nothing was the most difficult. She really didn't understand how she managed to persevere.
But what Tao Shuxin didn't know was that Yang Zhi's life was very interesting now, and her greatest pleasure was to get entangled with Xu Mingyuan every day.
"Don't worry, I won't hold it in."
Yang Zhi glanced at Tao Shuxin and complained in his heart: I will be bored if you stay at home all the time...
"Okay, I don't know what you want."
Tao Shuxin scratched his head and felt that a girl like Xiao Yangzhi was very suitable to become a nun.
When Tao Shuxin heard Xu Mingyuan say this before, she didn’t believe it. But after spending more time with Xiao Yangzhi, she became more and more convinced of his words.
"Sister Taotao, this is for you."
Yang Zhi took out a small box from his pocket and put it in Tao Shuxin's hand.
Tao Shuxin was in a daze when she suddenly found a small gift box stuffed into her hand.
"Wow! What is that? Xiaozhizhi! You actually gave me a present!"
Seeing that the miser was finally willing to give up, Tao Shuxin was very surprised and also very happy.
"I didn't buy it. Su Muqing gave it to me. I don't need it, so I'll give it to you." Yang Zhi said.
"Oh, is it from Sister Qingqing? Since it's for you, it's yours, so I'll just treat it as a gift from you. Xiaozhizhi, what's inside?" Tao Shuxin didn't care. She looked around and saw that the ribbon on the box hadn't been opened yet.
"do not know."
Yang Zhi shook her head. Apart from being interested in Xu Mingyuan, she had no interest in anything else.
"Didn't she tell you?" Tao Shuxin asked curiously.
"I didn't ask." Yang Zhi replied in a flat tone.
"Then should I open it and take a look?" Tao Shuxin asked with great interest.
"Tear it down, they're all yours." Yang Zhi said nonchalantly.
"Haha, it's mine now. Let me see, what is it? Eh? It's a bracelet... Cartier? Wow, what an expensive brand..."
The box contained a very slender gold and diamond ladies' bracelet, which looked quite delicate and beautiful, but gifts should be returned in return, and Tao Shuxin would never accept such an expensive gift.
"Keep it, it's a gift from Xiao Yangzhi to you." Xu Mingyuan said.
"How can I do this? It would be embarrassing if Sister Qingqing saw it, tut tut..." Tao Shuxin said with a smack of her lips.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. When Su Muqing wanted to give it to me, I told Xiao Yangzhi that she wouldn't want it. She also knew that it would end up in your hands. You can wear it if you want to, and throw it away if you don't want to." Xu Mingyuan said casually.
"Hey, it's so expensive, how can I just throw it away?" Tao Shuxin untied the bracelet and wrapped it around her wrist, looked at it and said, "It looks pretty good with the watch, but the strap is a bit old and looks like a fake brand."
"Okay, I'll give you a watch on your birthday."
As soon as he heard what Tao Shuxin said, he immediately solved a small problem for Xu Mingyuan.
This year I'll give her a watch, and then take out a crystal ball that has been prepared long ago from Nanxi's home warehouse as the little girl's birthday present.
"Hey, how can you say that? It doesn't feel like a surprise!" Tao Shuxin pouted and accused.
Yang Zhi was also very tired today. She didn't stay upstairs for long before giving her seat to Tao Shuxin.
When the two returned to the room, Tao Shuxin was still fumbling with the bracelet. Most little girls prefer exquisite little gadgets, but Xiao Yangzhi is an exception.
"Okay, stop looking at them. If you like them, go pick some out when you have the day after tomorrow off."
Xu Mingyuan pulled the little girl's raised hand back, untied her bracelet and watch, and threw them on the bedside table.
"It's not like I don't have any. I have a lot of bracelets. Hey, why do I feel like there's no difference between branded goods and street vendor goods?"
Tao Shuxin raised her head and asked Xu Mingyuan to help her take off the four-leaf clover necklace around her neck.
"There is no difference, it's just a brand premium. My company also has it. Isn't the Starry Sky Plus version available in pink? It costs an extra 200 yuan just for that color."
"Oh, is that the phone called Yunjin Pink? The name is so weird, but it also sounds kind of nice. So strange." Tao Shuxin muttered.
"Doesn't it sound high-end and classy?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Well...it's about the same. It'll cost an extra two hundred to change to pink? You're such a rip-off." Tao Shuxin said with a little disdain.
"How can this be called cheating? It's a pink tax. As soon as you take out the phone, people will know that it was bought at a premium. This is called emotional value. Like this shabby bracelet, when you wear it, people don't know what brand it is. It's purely an IQ tax." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"What? It depends on the person. Look, even if Sister Qingqing wears a fake brand, everyone thinks it's real. Alas, I don't have her temperament."
Tao Shuxin touched his chin, a thoughtful look on his face.
"What's the matter with temperament? You are already very good, and now you have the air of a scholar." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Of course, I grew up in a scholarly family..."
A look of pride appeared on Tao Shuxin's face. She was very satisfied that Xu Mingyuan had discovered this about her.
"Yes, you are the most beautiful." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Then tell me, am I prettier than Xiao Yangzhi?" Tao Shuxin turned her head and asked.
"Of course. Do you even need to ask?"
Xu Mingyuan boasted about the little girl without hesitation and without any guilt.
"Hey, I knew you would say that... Hey, what are you doing? Don't bother me, I ate a lot today, I don't want to move..."
Tao Shuxin laughed foolishly for a while, and suddenly realized that Xu Mingyuan had not left her neck since he untied the necklace. Then she angrily pulled the mischievous hand out of her collar and threw it aside.
Xu Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, hugged the little girl and said, "Then go to bed first. I'll take you to school tomorrow."
"Then remember to pick me up tomorrow night. Both of our cars are parked in the community. If you don't come, I won't have a car to drive." Tao Shuxin reminded.
"Okay, wait for me to pick you up."
Xu Mingyuan turned off the lights and prepared to end the day.
However, the little girl said not to move, but how could she let him go easily after her desire was aroused?
The little girl always fell asleep quickly, but at this moment she was rubbing against him gently, and Xu Mingyuan suddenly realized that tonight would not end like this.
I can't go on like this, I have to start exercising starting tomorrow.
It’s okay now while you’re still young, otherwise when your physical strength declines in the future, sooner or later you’ll be worn out by two difficult girls and can’t leave the house…
