Peach Branch Bubbles - Chapter 43
Tao Zhi’s bulging cheeks were thrown out in one breath, and some did not react.
She originally thought she was straightforward enough, but she didn’t expect Jiang Qihuai to be even more straightforward than her, asking straightforwardly.
Although she has been quite obvious recently.
But he was a little caught off guard to ask so straightforwardly.
Tao Zhi held his breath, raised his drooping head quickly, and looked at him under the street lamp.
In the next second, she was like a cat running away in the corner just now.She almost sprinted in place, and then took two steps back, leaning on the cold wall with her back, her dark eyes looking at him roundly. .
It’s almost exactly the same as the cat that frightened away just now.
Tao Zhi is not a question of “Do you want to be my girlfriend?”, but “Do you like me?”.
For interrogative sentences, she can have two answers.
If she says she likes it, Jiang Qihuai also has two answers.
I like you too. Or, I don’t like you, and please don’t cause trouble to me and don’t continue to like me.
Tao Zhi actually had such a bias in her heart, as to which of the two answers had a greater chance of winning, but she didn’t particularly want to admit that she would be rejected.
But to make her deny that she likes him, Tao Zhi is not willing.
At least looking at it now, she really likes this person in her heart. Tao Zhi doesn’t want to deny this fact even if she just talks about a lie.
Like is like.
She frowned and looked at him, racking her brains for a long time before she said with some difficulty: “It’s hard to say.”
“…”
Jiang Qihuai’s voice was flat: “How can it be difficult to say.”
“That’s hard to say,” Tao Zhi touched the wall with his fingers, tangled at the wall, and said hesitantly, “I have to think about it. I’ll give you a reply in a few days.”
Jiang Qihuai: “…”
After a question, she was turned away from the guest in an instant, and her sullen emotions were held back there again. Jiang Qihuai was angry and wanted to laugh. He calmly took a step forward slowly: “You are happy If you don’t like me, you still have to think about it?”
Tao Zhi looked at him and licked his lips nervously.
He took another step forward: “You want me to ask you before you start thinking about it?”
The hutong was originally narrow, and the distance between two or three people was wide. Tao Zhi was close to the wall, watching him walk step by step, and a long shadow surrounded her.
Jiang Qihuai circled her between the wall and her body, leaned her upper body, bowed her head and looked down at her, the breath enveloped her for a moment: “What the **** are you here for today, show off your senior tutor to me?”
The young boy’s breath was warm, in sharp contrast with the cold outdoor air. Within a short distance, his voice was lying beside her ears, and his warm breath thumped on her ears. Tao Zhi’s breathing was a little messy, his fingertips It numbs and the brain begins to short-circuit.
no.
I want to come and ask for a hug.
Tao Zhi lowered her eyelids, her heart beating fast and fast, and her voice was so loud that she felt it was banging in her ears. She moved suddenly, and she took a small step forward.
Jiang Qihuai continued to lean over, and Tao Zhi suddenly raised his arm and moved around his neck.
The soft body was pasted through the coat, her forehead pressed against his shoulder, and she gave him a light hug.
The tip of her nose was lingering in the sweet smell of shampoo in her hair.
Jiang Qihuai froze in place.
Tao Zhi rubbed his head, rubbed it on his shoulder, and whispered, “I’m here to do this.”
After she finished speaking, she instantly released her arm and re-stretched her distance, followed the gap between him and the wall, and jumped out of his enclosure, and ran out without looking back.
One end of the alley was dimly yellow, and the other end was a brightly lit night.
Her back turned the darkness away, like Xiandu Rila who was ringing at midnight, and fled away in a panic against the light.
Jiang Qihuai stood for a long time, until Tao Zhi’s shadow had completely disappeared from his sight.
He raised his arm, put his fingers on the back of his neck, which was bare outside his jacket, and rubbed his fingers lightly.
Her fingers were just gathered there, and the fingertips were cold, with soft strength, through the skin and remaining in the body.
When Tao Zhi escaped home, it was just a good dinner at home. Tao Xiuping sat on the sofa holding a laptop to handle work emails, while Ji Fan lay down on the sofa holding a comic book to read.
Tao Zhi took off his bag, took off his coat and threw it aside, stepped on slippers and walked into the living room. When he raised his eyes, he saw the father and son looking at her together.
Ji Fan’s eyes were exposed from the comics, Tao Xiuping lowered his head slightly, his gaze came from above the gold-rimmed glasses.
Ji Fan: “Where have you been?”
Tao Xiuping: “Don’t come back for dinner?”
“…”
Tao Zhi scratched his nose with some guilty conscience, and said casually: “I’ll go find Xianyu to eat.”
“Oh, that’s all right.” Ji Fan relaxed and continued to read the comics.
Tao Xiuping saw at a glance that she was talking nonsense and didn’t say anything. He pushed her glasses and continued to work.
Tao Zhi heaved a sigh of relief, walked over and dropped his schoolbag on the sofa, sat down beside Ji Fan, and pulled out a workbook.
She bent her leg and stepped on the sofa, resting the exercise book on her leg to read.
Tao Xiuping cracked and typed without looking up, and asked casually, “What’s the name of the little boy you like.”
Ji Fan looked at the comic book, turned a page, and lazily said, “Little beast.”
Tao Zhi raised his hand and slapped his head.
Ji Fan let out a cry, clutching his head: “Jiang Qihuai! Let’s go.”
Tao Xiuping agreed: “The last name is Jiang? It’s a good name.”
“The main reason is that my father’s surname is good,” Ji Fan said with a curled lips. “Look at this one in our house again. He has a fruit name.”
After Tao Zhi’s writing pen was reminded by him, he remembered what happened in the kitchen this afternoon.
Jiang Qihuai is allergic to peaches.
Then her surname was Tao.
It was as if in the dark, the two were destined to not match so well.
Why must she have the surname Tao?
Can’t she have a pear or apricot or grape or something?
Tao Zhi frowned, a little unhappy. She raised her head and looked at Tao Xiuping: “Dad.”
Tao Xiuping raised his head: “Huh?”
“I don’t want to be called Tao Zhi.” Tao Zhi looked at him and said seriously.
“Then what do you want to be called?” Tao Xiuping also respected her wishes, and asked, “Tao Xiaozhi? Tao Meimei? Or should you call it Dafaang Tao, you were quite fat when you were a kid.”
“It doesn’t matter what you call it, you can call it whatever you want,” Tao Zhi was a little melancholy, and sighed, “I mainly don’t want the surname Tao.”
Tao Xiuping nodded: “You mainly don’t want the surname Tao, I think you want to go to heaven.”
“You can be called Ji Shangtian with the surname Ji,” Ji Fan said. “Let’s isolate Lao Tao.”
“Okay, you two, it’s endless, right?” Tao Xiuping glanced at him, then at Tao Zhi, “Tell my father, why didn’t you want to be called by this name suddenly? Who said your name? Doesn’t sound good?”
“No one said,” Tao Zhi didn’t want to admit that he was so naive, “I just suddenly didn’t want the surname Tao.”
“She just wanted to go to heaven suddenly.” Ji Fan said vigorously.
Tao Zhi grabbed a sofa cushion and pressed it on his face.
Ji Fan struggled to pull the cushion down.
Tao Xiuping put the laptop next to him, leaned over and took a sip from the tea cup on the coffee table: “Our princess has a lot of whimsical ideas recently.”
“Girls in unrequited love are like this, there is no way.” Ji Fan said, holding the cushion.
Tao Xiuping sighed, “Dad will not be the most handsome man in the world in two days.”
Ji Fan: “I will start turning my elbows out in a while.”
“Women’s college is not staying.” Tao Xiuping said.
“You can’t keep it,” Ji Fan said leisurely.
“…”
Tao Zhi didn’t want to hear these two people sing and play harmoniously here, and there was a mess in her mind. She couldn’t do the problems, so she went upstairs to the room with the workbook.
The bedroom was quiet, Tao Zhi stood by the bed holding the exercise book, and then fell straight forward and fell on the bed with a muffled noise.
She buried her head in the quilt and rubbed it with her horn.
Tao Zhi suddenly regretted that he was too persuaded before and missed a great opportunity to show love to Jiang Qihuai.
But Tao Zhi didn’t want to confess so hastily, and then was rejected.
She had to think of a way so that even if Jiang Qihuai disagreed, she would not say rejection.
Tao Zhi didn’t mention it for several days.
Zhao Mingqi has been very active recently. Usually he goes out and finds people to chat. It is not a matter of business. He only knows to play. The recent sports meeting is close at hand. He has a reason to do everything. Playing is to keep fit and prepare for the next sport. Chat It was a painstakingly persuaded classmates to sign up for the competition.
The students in the first class are all well-known for their academic performance. Sports and various extracurricular activities are average. Except for a few boys, the rest are lacking in interest. Zhao Mingqi even entertains and seduces with snacks, and finally took it. The number of applicants for all the events was gathered, and the registration form was handed in to the physical education teacher.
Tao Zhi also reported two projects under his soft and hard foam.
The sports meet was in mid-November, because the outdoor stadium in the school was being expanded, so I temporarily borrowed the site of the Second Imperial Medical University next to it.
Tao Zhi checked the map the day before and found that the school was not far from Jiangqihuai’s home, and it was just right to pass by her home.
The next day, she woke up early, got up and washed Ji Fan and Tao Xiuping directly after washing, and went out half an hour earlier.
The father and son yawned and hit one after another. She sat at the back vigorously, carrying a pile of snacks in her bag, and her lips pressed nervously.
The car drove up the street from Jiangqi Huai’s house.
Tao Zhi’s eyes brightened, he straightened up and patted the driver’s seat: “Dad, stop the car.”
Tao Xiuping drove gently to the side of the road, stopped, and turned his head: “What’s the matter? Something forgotten?”
“No, I’m going to find my classmates,” Tao Zhi opened the door and got out of the car, then turned around, “You go first, I’ll go with classmates later!”
Before Tao Xiuping had time to speak, the little girl had already ran to the front sidewalk with her small bag on her back. It happened to be the green light. She ran across the road and then ran all the way forward, and soon disappeared.
Tao Xiuping turned his head and glanced at Ji Fan: “What’s the matter with this kid?”
Ji Fan yawned, winked his eyebrows and said, “What else is going on? I’m looking for someone to go there.”
In the early morning of late autumn, the frost is heavy, the weather is gloomy, and the clouds cover the sun.
Tao Zhi ran all the way to the alley of Jiangqi Huai’s house, stopped, bent down with his hands on his knees, gasped in small mouths, and adjusted his breathing.
The heartbeat is fast, I don’t know if it’s because I just ran all the way or some other reason.
Tao Zhi stood at the entrance of the alley, straightened up and leaned against the wall, took a deep breath, and adjusted his breathing.
The streets were no longer busy at night, the whole street was empty, and the sky above the alley was pouring into light, illuminating the dark and narrow road.
Tao Zhi rubbed his stiff fingers and stood there waiting for a while.
About ten minutes, a figure was turned out at the end.
He walked forward wrapped in mist until the two people were a few meters apart, and he stopped.
Tao Zhi raised his head and looked over. Through the morning mist, she looked at him faintly.
Jiang Qihuai walked forward slowly.
Tao Zhi stood on the spot, watching him get closer and closer, his heartbeat began to accelerate again, and his salivary glands instantly became active until he walked in front of her.
He seemed to have just taken a shower, his hair was not dry at all, and his body smelled like a faint shower gel.
Tao Zhi swallowed his saliva, looked up at him, then lowered his head: “I thought about it, I like you.”
“like you very much.”
Her voice slammed into the eardrum along with the air conditioner.
Tao Zhi rubbed her toes on the concrete floor, and her fingers gripped the sleeves of her jacket tightly. Whether it was cold or nervous, she felt that her voice was trembling.
He is such a good person.
The grades are good, the sports seem to be okay, and he looks the best in the world.
The only flaw is that the personality is a bit horny.
But it doesn’t matter. She has a good personality. She can make up for his innocuous little shortcoming. The only problem is—
Tao Zhi lowered her eyes, and a little inferiority complex that she had never felt before suddenly surged in her heart. She felt a little bored, and her mood was just like this weather, without seeing the sun.
She said quietly: “But I can’t get 700 points now.”
Jiang Qihuai looked at her.
The tip of the little girl’s nose was red, her long eyelashes drooped and trembled, looking down and sad.
People can’t help but want to touch her head again.
He stood with his hands down, didn’t move, and just asked, “So.”
“So,” Tao Zhi licked his lips, gathered up the courage to raise his head, blinked as he watched him, and said tentatively, “Can you let me take the test more times?”
