Chapter 452 Happiness
Chapter 452 Happiness
On Saturday and Sunday, Xu Mingyuan accompanied Tao Shuxin back to Nanxi.
Perhaps influenced by little Yangzhi, Tao Shuxin became a little more gentle and soft-spoken when chatting with her little sisters, and was not as noisy as before.
Compared with Tao Shuxin, Xiao Yangzhi is more like a lady from a noble family.
Xiao Yangzhi always speaks softly and a little slowly. Even her usual movements are very light and graceful. She exudes a light and elegant scent all the time.
This is exactly what Tao Shuxin has in mind. She thinks that this is the kind of girl she should be.
But people cannot be compared. Tao Shuxin tried to sit upright like Xiao Yangzhi, but she could not last more than ten minutes before she slouched to one side.
Xiao Yangzhi gave people the outward impression of being too quiet, which was totally incompatible with Xu Mingyuan's temperament. This was one of the reasons why Tao Shuxin did not doubt her.
Xu Mingyuan is always in a state of disarray. How could Xiao Yangzhi, with her elegant personality, like someone like him?
Tao Shuxin felt that she was the only person in the world who was compatible with him. After all, she and Xu Mingyuan were both a little bit hypocritical.
However, Tao Shuxin was wrong. Xiao Yangzhi's usual behavior was educated by her mother, and now it has become a habit.
In private, Xiao Yangzhi is definitely not so quiet and has a girlish side.
Occasionally, little Yangzhi would swing around with her toes hooked in her slippers, suddenly humming an out-of-tune song, and then ask Xu Mingyuan if she sang well.
The most wonderful thing about a girl is her fleeting childishness and her seemingly smart and clever but actually silly little thoughts.
Xiao Yangzhi also has the same nature as Tao Shuxin, but she is unwilling to show it, or only shows it in front of Xu Mingyuan.
But Xiao Yangzhi's influence was ultimately limited, and Tao Shuxin grew from a little girl into a young woman.
Tao Shuxin's birthday happened to be during class time. Apart from a few familiar people who sent her blessings and some who sent her birthday wishes in advance, even her roommate didn't know that she had a birthday today.
However, Su Muqing, who has a high emotional intelligence, knew about this and wanted to come and celebrate Tao Shuxin's birthday together, but was sent away by Xu Mingyuan.
This little girl will shine brightly if she is given a little sunshine. It's enough if the intention is there. Why do you want to come over and cause trouble?
Tao Shuxin went shopping for a weekend and received quite a few gifts, but she didn't open them and put them all in a small cardboard box.
This was something Tao Shuxin had not dared to imagine before. With her curiosity to get to the bottom of things, it would definitely be a problem for her if she didn't open the box as soon as she got it.
But Tao Shuxin held back and waited until the day of unboxing.
The gifts given between little girls are nothing more than small things like dolls and hairpins. They are not very valuable, but they are all put into practice with some thought.
"Xiao Zhizhi, come here. This box of hairpins is for you."
Tao Shuxin was sitting in the restaurant, counting the gift boxes. After filling the table with them, she said to Xiao Yangzhi in the kitchen.
“I don’t wear hairpins.”
Yang Zhi didn't even look at it and continued to clean the ingredients she had just bought.
"This was given to me by Tang Lin. We have a very good relationship, so she won't say anything if I give it to you."
The hairpin boxes given by her little sisters are all cute. Tao Shuxin used to like them very much, but now she feels that they are a bit inappropriate, so she thought of giving them to Xiao Yangzhi.
"No." Yang Zhi replied.
"Or rather." Tao Shuxin continued.
"Do not."
"It looks really nice. Try it on for a try."
"Don't wear it."
"Wear it."
"Do not."
"Put it on for a while, put it on for a while..."
Tao Shuxin was a person who would not give up until she achieved her goal. Seeing Yang Zhi washing vegetables, Tao Shuxin picked out a hairpin and walked forward.
Yang Zhi was packing her things and had already tied her hair into a bun.
Tao Shuxin was the type who became a bit shameless when she got to know people well. Seeing Xiao Yangzhi busy, she stood on tiptoe to take off her hair tie.
Yang Zhi was helpless. He straightened his back and looked at her with a frown.
But how could Tao Shuxin be scared away by that look?
Tao Shuxin, whose face had been trained by Xu Mingyuan to be as thick as a wall, didn't even look at Xiao Yangzhi, but just rolled up half of her hair and fastened it with a hairpin.
"It looks good. You usually dress too plainly. It's good to wear some small accessories." Tao Shuxin nodded with satisfaction and asked Xu Mingyuan beside him: "Brother Xiaoyuan, look at Xiao Zhizhi, isn't she prettier now?"
"Well, it's beautiful."
Xu Mingyuan, who was brushing crabs, answered casually.
Tao Shuxin was so focused on opening the presents that she didn't even bother to help. Little Yangzhi was afraid of getting her hands pinched, so she didn't dare to help either. Xu Mingyuan had to do the small task of catching the crabs by himself.
"Wow! Do you dare to be more perfunctory? How do you know it looks good when your back is turned? Xiao Zhizhi, look at your brother, he is like this!" Tao Shuxin accused.
"Xiao Yangzhi is pretty, so what does she wear make a difference?"
"It's different!" Tao Shuxin angrily pulled Xu Mingyuan away from the pool and said confidently, "Look carefully, when Xiao Zhizhi puts on the hairpin, does she look less cold?"
"Yeah, it's nice, it's warm and nice."
Seeing Xiao Yangzhi with half of her hair pinned up, revealing her fair forehead, Xu Mingyuan nodded and said.
"Right! That's what I told you." Tao Shuxin said proudly.
"Do you want to take it off?" Yang Zhi asked Xu Mingyuan.
"Don't take it off, just wear it." Tao Shuxin interrupted.
"Hey, come over and work quickly. You just sit there and play. How shameless of you." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Wait a moment, I'll thank my sisters first." Tao Shuxin replied.
"Hurry up, let's talk after you've cleaned up."
"Okay, okay, since you're having such a hard time catching crabs, let me do it."
Tao Shuxin rolled up her sleeves with great vigor, snatched the brush from Xu Mingyuan's hand, and started fiddling with it in the sink.
Xiao Yangzhi is too delicate and is very slow in washing vegetables.
Xu Mingyuan rarely does these little things, so he seems a little impatient.
Tao Shuxin loves to eat the most and is a little expert in the kitchen. With her joining in, the cooking speed almost doubled.
After covering the steamer, Tao Shuxin felt that she had finished her work and ran to the study to call and send messages to her sisters.
Dinner was not difficult to prepare. I made a shabu-shabu hotpot and ordered two dishes to go, filling the table.
"It's time to eat, stop talking."
Xu Mingyuan stood at the door of the study and knocked.
"Just wait a moment. It will be soon."
Tao Shuxin was chatting enthusiastically and didn't want to get up at all.
Xu Mingyuan wanted to say something else, but was pulled back by Xiao Yangzhi and pressed against the wall.
Hearing the sound of chairs rubbing against each other on the other side of the wall, Yang Zhi tiptoed away slowly.
You're not working and you're just being lazy, right?
hum~
Yang Zhi was not seeking excitement, but liked to see Xu Mingyuan look helpless when he was caught off guard.
Because there was only a wall between them, Xu Mingyuan was afraid of making noise and did not push himself away.
Occasionally taking advantage of Xu Mingyuan was one of Yang Zhi's few joys.
