Chapter 449: Beat Her Twice

Chapter 449: Hit Her Twice
Since going back home once at noon, no matter whether Xu Mingyuan was at school or not, Yang Zhi would beg Tao Shuxin to take her home to rest for the afternoon. It was very convenient to drive there, and half an hour was enough for a round trip.

The lunch break in college is very long. Tao Shuxin has a dormitory, but Yang Zhi doesn’t. She doesn’t want to go with her, so she might as well go home and take a nap.

Xu Mingyuan tried his best to let Xiao Yangzhi experience the fun of college life, but his idea was half-failed.

Xiao Yangzhi had no interest in university, but was very interested in Xu Mingyuan being in university.

November has just arrived, and it is Tao Shuxin's busiest time.

Bills like water, electricity, and heating need to be paid by yourself. The only thing you don’t have to pay for is the property management fee that will be collected at your door.

It would be great if water and electricity bills could be settled in this convenient way, regardless of day or night or holidays.

These days, without online payment, daily expenses for people’s livelihood are so troublesome.

But Tao Shuxin enjoyed it very much and was willing to queue up to pay the fees. He even found some free time in the afternoon to take Xiao Yangzhi to experience skipping classes.

"Have you come to pay the fees?" Tao Shuxin asked.

"No, it was my brother who paid for it all. He paid for a year's expenses and it was not enough to use up all the money," said Yang Zhi.

"Ah? He's too lazy, isn't he? There will be a deposit receipt when you pay the bill. You can check if there is any abnormality in the water and electricity at home. If there is a water or electricity leak, you can check it out by taking a look at the receipt."

Tao Shuxin answered carefully, this was the experience she learned from her mother over the years.

"Oh."

Yang Zhi was also quite curious about how to pay the fees. She didn't dare to come alone, but she was not afraid if someone was with her.

"You don't know. The last time I went to pay the bill, the water fee more than doubled. I went home and checked inside and out but couldn't find the leak. Then I remembered that you like to keep clean, so it must have been you who used it." Tao Shuxin said.

"Then I'll save some of it..."

"It's okay, you're not wasting electricity. Your brother is a bastard. He likes to go out on time and always forgets to turn off the air conditioner and computer. The electricity he wastes in a day is enough for you to use water for half a month." Tao Shuxin complained.

"Is it?"

"Yes! He has a very convincing argument! He said that increasing electricity use and raising the salaries of the power company employees can boost market consumption. What kind of nonsense is this? You'd better not learn from him!" Tao Shuxin said seriously.

"Ok."

Yang Zhi nodded. Nowadays, school guidance and public service advertisements are deeply rooted in people's minds. No matter what, waste is wrong.

The first few days without heating were the hardest.

The wind is strong during the change of seasons, and it is easy to catch the flu. Yang Zhi wears a mask every time she goes out these days, for fear of being infected by others.

There are people like her who are aware of the risks these days, but they are generally older retired ladies. There are really few young people who wear masks when they go out.

But Yang Zhi didn't care. After all, once she put on the mask and hat, only her eyes were exposed. No one could recognize her, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Xu Mingyuan originally wanted to find Tao Shuxin for class, but after making a phone call he found out that she had skipped class with Xiao Yangzhi and went outside the school to pay tuition.

Little Yangzhi was not so obedient now. She ran out of the school gate with Tao Shuxin without saying a word and did not inform Xu Mingyuan in advance, causing him to make a wasted trip.

"Brother, I thought Sister Taotao told you..."

As soon as Yang Zhi entered the room, he explained in a low voice without even taking off his hat.

"Why do you care about him? Just do whatever you want. Can he control us?"

Tao Shuxin really wanted to complain, "You can't use the two hours you've been away from home after paying for it. Are you a kindergarten kid? You have to report when you go out..."

"Is it so cold outside? Why are you still wearing a hat?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"There are so many people with colds, I'm afraid of being infected."

Seeing that he had no intention of blaming her, Yang Zhi replied happily.

"You are just too weak. Just go upstairs and run a few more laps."

"..."

This time Yang Zhi was too embarrassed to respond, so she just took off her coat and went to wash her hands.

The air conditioner in my house has both cooling and heating functions. Although the seasons are changing outside, the house is very warm.

But Yang Zhi still cut a few slices of ginger, threw in a few pieces of rock sugar and boiled a pot of ginger soup.

"Xiao Zhizhi, are you so afraid of catching a cold? Look at me, I'm in great shape and I definitely won't catch a cold."

Tao Shuxin patted his chest, causing a wave of excitement.

It was not cold in the afternoon. The temperature outside was about 12 or 13 degrees, which was just right for wearing a windbreaker. It was even a little hot.

“Nip problems before they happen.”

Yang Zhi took three porcelain cups, filled them with water, and held the cups to warm his hands.

"Uh, you look like my mother." Seeing her putting on this health-preserving posture, Tao Shuxin scratched his head and said.

"Oh."

"If you were my mother's child, I would be very worry-free. I wouldn't even need to call you to remind you, you would just know to wear long johns."

Tao Shuxin smacked her lips. A girl as sensible as Yang Zhi must be someone else's child in the eyes of her parents.

"I'm afraid of the cold."

Yang Zhi held the slightly hot porcelain cup in her hands, not in a hurry to drink, just to warm her hands.

During the days of spring and autumn, Yang Zhi's soles and insteps were also cold. It was a pity that Tao Shuxin was at home, otherwise she could ask Xu Mingyuan to help warm them up. I believe he would be happy to do this kind of good job that kills two birds with one stone.

"Eh~ It's hard to drink. Brother Xiaoyuan, you should drink it."

Tao Shuxin took a bite reluctantly and didn't want to touch it again. As a picky little girl, what she hated most was eating shredded ginger in her food.

Ginger tastes like shredded potatoes when put into shredded potatoes, and tastes like meat when put into meat. Every time Tao Shuxin eats it, she feels like the sky is falling, and she loses half of her good mood for eating.

"Drink some to enhance your resistance." Xu Mingyuan said casually.

"I'm in better health than you, do I still need to drink ginger water?"

Tao Shuxin lay down on the sofa carelessly, pushed aside by Xu Mingyuan and occupied most of the good seats.

When the three of us are at home, the sofa in the living room is where we spend the most time. We usually watch TV and play poker here. It's not much fun, but it's relaxing and comfortable.

……

As expected, within two days, Tao Shuxin became the first person in the family to catch a cold.

The little girl has a good resistance, but the change of seasons caused others to catch a cold, and her resistance dropped when her period came, so she was infected by others without being careful.

Although Yang Zhi has a weak constitution, she is a girl who pays the most attention to her own health.

If Yang Zhi notices that she coughed a few times or felt a little uncomfortable, she would put a few hot packs on her waist, legs and insteps. She also wears a mask on weekdays and avoids students who cough from a distance.

Even when in class, Yang Zhi was reluctant to take off her mask, and she even wore gloves when sketching, for fear of catching a cold.

Because I have a cold, I can't go and get close to Xu Mingyuan. How uncomfortable that is.

And since Xu Mingyuan has Xiao Yangzhi's caring care, naturally nothing will happen to him.

But Tao Shuxin is different. This girl is very stubborn and she insists on proving her resistance.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Xiaozhizhi, I'm about to poop... Quick, make me a bowl of ginger soup..."

Tao Shuxin, who was patting his chest to make promises a few days ago, was now groaning under the quilt, and he didn't even have the mood to eat his favorite snacks.

"Haha, you deserve it. How many times have I told you? I told you to wear more clothes. Teacher He even called you to remind you twice. You're still playing tricks. Wait until I tell Teacher He and let her beat you up."

Xu Mingyuan reached through Tao Shuxin's collar and took out the thermometer from her armpit.

"How many degrees is it? Has it reached 40 degrees? I feel dizzy. Is there no hope?"

"It's only 37.6. You're really good at pretending. When you were in high school, I never saw you get sick after just coughing a few times." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"That's high school, how can it be the same?"

Tao Shuxin didn't have a big problem, but she still felt a little uncomfortable. Now that someone was waiting for her, she should have some fun. Otherwise, she would have no chance...

"Take your medicine first."

Yang Zhi didn't rush to boil water, but just found some cold medicine and put it on the coffee table.

"Wow~ Shit~ Xiaozhizhi, are you really that serious? I'll live in the dormitory tomorrow..."

Seeing Xiao Yangzhi wearing a mask and not only spraying alcohol around herself with the alcohol spray bottle, but also spraying it into the trash can in front of her four or five times, Tao Shuxin couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

"Well... isn't this a good idea?"

Although Yang Zhi really wanted to agree, she still had a bottom line.

"Hehehe...Brother Xiaoyuan, no wonder you always bully her. Is she like this to you too? Go and beat her up a couple of times."

Tao Shuxin didn't expect that Xiao Yangzhi actually had such an idea, and immediately went to Xu Mingyuan to settle the score with tears.

"Haha, you're done. Who told you not to pay attention? If you continue to pretend, I'll take you to the hospital for an injection." Xu Mingyuan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Forget it then, hum."

Tao Shuxin rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Little Yangzhi is really timid and cowardly, no wonder her breasts can't grow...
