Chapter 494 Marking
That night.
It was Tao Shuxin who took Xiao Yangzhi home together, while Xu Mingyuan came back late and arrived home at eight o'clock in the evening.
"Have you eaten?" Xu Mingyuan asked as soon as he entered the door.
"I ate it. Sister Tao Tao took me to eat beef ramen."
Yang Zhi stood up, took the bag from Xu Mingyuan, and went to pack her things.
"What's going on? Xiao Taotao, who messed with you again?"
Seeing Tao Shuxin rolling her eyes at him with her mouth raised high, Xu Mingyuan asked with amusement.
"Hum hum……"
Tao Shuxin tilted her head and didn't want to pay attention to him.
"Stop complaining. I brought foie gras and beef stewed in red wine, as well as your favorite caramel pudding." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Oh~ We're going to have French food? How romantic." Tao Shuxin said, shaking her head.
"Ha, I'm having a meal with the senior executives. I ordered a la carte. I saw you eat in the cafeteria all day, so you have to cook a special meal for yourself, right?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Not greasy, I want to lose weight."
Tao Shuxin glanced at the two large bags of lunch boxes and turned her head to the side, as if she had made up her mind not to eat.
"Then you should lose weight. Xiao Yangzhi and I will eat."
As soon as Xu Mingyuan saw Tao Shuxin pouting her lips, he knew she was in a bad mood. If nothing unexpected happened, it was because of Xiao Yangzhi.
This is not a easy problem to solve. It is impossible for Xu Mingyuan to scold Xiao Yangzhi in front of her together with Tao Shuxin. This would be too inhumane. He can only wait until they are alone and then ask Xiao Taotao why.
“Ah… hehehe…”
Seeing that Xu Mingyuan ignored her, Tao Shuxin started howling.
"Haha, what's wrong with you? It's just thunder without rain. Come on, let's go eat something together."
After Xu Mingyuan helped Xiao Yangzhi pack the lunch boxes, he went to pull Xiao Taotao, feeling both amused and helpless.
Tao Shuxin obviously didn't want Xu Mingyuan to succeed easily, so she struggled on the sofa to prevent him from touching her.
After playing around for a while, Tao Shuxin was finally tired. Xu Mingyuan picked her up and carried her to the restaurant, where he threw her onto a chair.
"Ouch! You bastard! You did it on purpose!"
The chairs in the restaurant were made of solid wood, and it hurt quite a bit when Tao Shuxin fell on them.
"The caramel pudding won't taste good if it gets cold. Hurry up and use your chopsticks."
"The pudding is cold, you bumpkin." Tao Shuxin rubbed his little butt, and seeing that Xiao Yangzhi was sitting at the table and not eating, he asked, "Why don't you eat?"
"I'm waiting for my brother."
Yang Zhi has been very annoyed by Tao Shuxin these days, and she must give her some sympathy, otherwise she will not be able to relieve her discomfort.
"whispering sound……"
This time, Tao Shuxin didn't act sarcastic. She just curled her lips and picked the beef from the lunch box to eat.
Foie gras doesn’t taste good when it’s cold, so in order to keep it warm, we didn’t cut it into thick slices after frying.
Yang Zhi didn't know how to clean it, so seeing him cutting it with a knife and fork, she followed his example and clumsily cut the foie gras into strips.
"Is it tasty?"
Seeing Xiao Yangzhi frowned after taking a small bite, Xu Mingyuan asked with a smile.
“Not tasty, a bit greasy.”
Yang Zhi forced himself to swallow the goose liver in his mouth, then put it down and stopped eating.
"Don't eat it. The more authentic these things are, the worse they taste." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
Usually, Xu Mingyuan would bring some alternative food from TV home whenever he had time, just to let Xiao Yangzhi try something new and satisfy her sporadic curiosity.
"Not tasty? Not bad, you'll get used to it." Seeing the two chatting sweetly, Tao Shuxin grabbed Xu Mingyuan's fork and ate a few pieces in a row. He felt a little sick of it, so he said to him, "Eat it, don't waste it."
"You don't like it either, but you want my brother to eat it..." Yang Zhi said in a low voice.
As soon as Xiao Yangzhi's green tea flavor came out, Xiao Taotao couldn't stand it on the spot. With a twisted look on his face, he kicked Xu Mingyuan under the table.
Xu Mingyuan looked at Xiao Yangzhi helplessly and told her to eat her food.
After dinner in the evening, Xu Mingyuan mainly brought back some desserts. Xiao Yangzhi didn't like to eat too sweet things, so she tasted a few pieces of meat and drank juice on the side.
Tao Shuxin will be very happy as long as she has something to eat.
The dishes Xu Mingyuan brought back were not very good, but the desserts tasted very good. Tao Shuxin was happy with the food and even hummed a few lines of a little song. But when she thought that she had not finished venting her little emotions, she would angrily vent her anger on the dessert and scratch the dessert spoon hard.
However, Tao Shuxin's little emotions were easy to deal with. She couldn't just let Xiao Yangzhi get well after a good night's sleep, but it was no problem at all for Xiao Taotao.
After watching the TV series until 10:30 in the evening, Xu Mingyuan dragged Tao Shuxin, who was still throwing a tantrum, back to the room and taught her a lesson.
After a long time, Tao Shuxin softly took the water cup handed over by Xu Mingyuan, took a big gulp, and patted his back hard, asking him to put the cup back.
Xu Mingyuan touched the numb handprint on her back, and seeing that she still had the strength to fight, he pushed her over again.
After that, Tao Shuxin had no other ideas. She fumbled for her phone beside the bed and opened it. She found that it was already early in the morning. She was sleepy and tired and just wanted to go to bed early and wait for class tomorrow.
Alas, Xu Mingyuan, that bastard, will definitely be in low spirits in class tomorrow...
"Hey, what's wrong with you today?" Xu Mingyuan pinched her face and said.
"Oh, are you annoying me? I want to sleep."
Tao Shuxin wrapped herself in a quilt like a dumpling and refused to let him touch her anymore.
"You haven't made your point yet? Why are you sleeping?"
"I have classes tomorrow, don't move around, go to bed quickly..."
Tao Shuxin hummed very listlessly and shook her head continuously, trying to avoid his hand.
"How can I sleep if you don't explain it clearly?"
"We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything..."
Tao Shuxin was a little regretful for being so emotional. In the end, she was the one who suffered. This bastard refused to let her sleep. It was so annoying...
"No, we must make it clear today. Was it Xiao Yangzhi who offended you?"
"Oh, she didn't provoke me." Tao Shuxin said with a sigh.
"What's the reason? Are your classmates bullying you?" Xu Mingyuan asked knowingly.
"Oh, no, I asked Xiao Zhizhi today what she wanted to do in the future, and she said she wanted to stay with you." Tao Shuxin said speechlessly.
"That's right. It's not in vain that I raised her." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Can she stay with you forever?" Tao Shuxin asked.
"We'll talk about the future later. No one is taking care of her now. Are we going to let Xiao Yangzhi live alone?"
"Alas, her mother doesn't care, and your father can't do anything about it either. When I think about it, Xiao Zhizhi is quite pitiful."
"Her mother wants to take care of her now. She wants Xiao Yangzhi to go to college in Xincheng."
"Go to college in Xincheng? She's already finished the college entrance exam, how can she transfer?"
"If she wants to transfer, there must be a way. If not, why not go to a junior college? But look at Xiao Yangzhi like this. Do you think she can live on campus?"
"Going to a junior college? And living on campus? Oh my god, there are so many bad things in our school. Xiao Zhizhi will definitely be bullied to death if she goes to school in another province."
Tao Shuxin knew what college was like. Just by listening to Sun Hongwei bragging about the fights and dormitory-smashing disputes in their school, and his girlfriend's stories about the girls' dormitory, Tao Shuxin felt like they were people living in two different worlds.
Gee...
"Yes." Xu Mingyuan nodded.
"Hey, will she also go to school as a day student there?" Tao Shuxin asked.
"What's the point of going to school part-time? How can her mother control her? You can do it, Xiao Taotao. You don't really want Xiao Yangzhi to leave, do you?"
"I'm not that bad. I'm just curious why her mother wanted to look for Xiao Zhizhi now?"
"Maybe he saw that Xiao Yangzhi was pretty and wanted her to hook up with a rich young man or something."
"You are really making things up. That's her mother." Tao Shuxin said.
"It's hard to say. Xiao Yangzhi has been raised like this by her mother since she was a child. Also, although most people in this world are good people, we shouldn't think too highly of human nature," said Xu Mingyuan.
"Damn, is that true?" Tao Shuxin was stunned for a moment, then squinted his eyes and said, "Huh? Aren't you a rich young man? Why would she have to go far away to find someone else?" Tao Shuxin said with squinted eyes.
"I'm not a rich young man, so how could I be fooled so easily? So in order to prevent Xiao Yangzhi from learning bad things, we can't let her go." Xu Mingyuan said guiltily.
"Tsk, I don't think she has learned anything well from being with you..."
Tao Shuxin was so sleepy that she complained and didn't want to talk anymore.
If this continues, I'll have to be on guard against Xiao Yangzhi in the future...
