Peach Branch Bubbles - Chapter 60

Tao Zhi never cried.

She felt that her tear ducts were sufficiently developed during this time, like a tap that had been unscrewed. She would cry at Tao Xiuping, she would cry when she saw Ji Jin, and the only time she saw Jiang Qihuai, she didn’t want to cry. .

She was very sure, and felt confidently that she understood what he meant.

She listened to what he said, felt his breathing and temperature, the lingering breath of the tip of her nose, the residual touch on her lips, and the sound of her eardrum echoing like a conductor of a symphony orchestra, setting the final chapter of the relationship between them. .

Tao Zhi always thought that between the two of them, the dominant power was always in her hands, but it was not.

He watched her approach cautiously, racked his brains, rushed forward, and then chose to stay away calmly and silently.

He is always the one who occupies the dominant position.

Tao Zhi suddenly felt like a joke in the past few months.

She never doubted whether Jiang Qihuai liked her. She knew very well that he liked her. He was not the kind of person who would wrong him. If he really didn’t like it, he would not give her any chance.

It’s just that his liking for her, and her to him, probably have never been of the same magnitude.

She actually had a lot of things that she hadn’t said yet. She wanted to ask him why, refuse, and refute. Like every time before, she harassed and acted like a baby, and then looked at him helplessly with joy.

She wants to tell him that I can stick to it, so you can’t and don’t compromise.

She stood on the edge of the cliff holding her broken self-esteem, trying to restrain so many thoughts and anger, and finally put them together, and then squeezed them all back into the body.

She is a proud princess.

The princess should come vigorously, and leave simply.

Stalker has never been her character.

I do not want it.

I don’t want to like this kind of mood, and the you who I like.

She lowered her head and smiled laboriously: “Okay.”

The moment the voice fell, before Jiang Qihuai hadn’t reacted, she suddenly raised her arm and hooked his neck.

The distance that had been stretched was pulled back again, Tao Zhi tilted his head back and bit his lip heavily.

The lips were tight and the teeth were grinded, until the **** and sweet smell spread in her mouth, she was relieved.

The young boy’s lips were stained with scarlet blood, which was a bit more coquettish, and he looked down at her.

Tao Zhi licked the remaining blood on his lips, his eyes raised in pitch black were as clear and bright as they were when they first met: “My dad said that adults are facing some temporarily unsolvable things. I always choose to compromise,” she said softly, “Congratulations, you have grown up early.”

Tao Zhi dropped his hands, jumped out of the bed, and walked to the door without looking back.

When she opened the doorknob, she paused: “I wish you an open road ahead.”

The door of the ward was closed with a soft click, and the room fell into silence again.

There was a faint sound from outside the closed doors and windows, the water vapor in the kettle had dissipated, and the hot temperature dropped little by little and gradually cooled.

Jiang Qihuai stood by the bed, watching the little bit of collapse on the snow-white sheets. There were people sitting there a minute ago, and there was even her remaining temperature and breath on it.

He raised his hand and touched the folds of the bed sheet lightly with his fingertips, reluctant to smooth it.

When Tao Zhi fell asleep in the hospital, Tao Xiuping came to him and talked a lot.

He told him about her when she was a child, in her childhood, she learned to speak for the first time, went to school for the first time, got a perfect score in the school for the first time, and had someone she liked for the first time.

Ji Fan was right. She was the baby held in the palm of the hand by the whole family. She grew up carefree, but why should she be wronged by him.

Tao Zhi knows everything.

His selfishness, his ugliness, he didn’t want to be peeped into those dark messes, she knew it all too long ago. What he concealed, what he avoided, she accepted all of it.

He is actually not worthy of her.

But in those days when she smiled at him, even the weather was so good to shine.

He was originally a selfish person, unable to give up the deep-rooted greed, he didn’t want to let go, and would never let go.

Jiang Qihuai is not afraid of the darkness, he has been feeling the darkness since he was born, understanding the darkness, and breaking away from the darkness. He can work a little harder, he can struggle to death, and he can never recover.

But his roses are not good, she should have been protected by a strong glass cover, blooming in the greenhouse.

He can wait, he has a lot of patience and time to spend. No matter how long it takes to get rid of all this, no matter what the price is.

No matter which way you choose, I will follow you and I will find you.

So you don’t come again.

I will flatten the barren mountains and lonely ridges, and flow through the rolling glacial rivers.

I will become bright enough until I can touch the light one day.

And you just need to go forward and bloom to your heart’s content.

Tao Zhi has never been to 603 again, nor has he ever been to the small alley on that lively street.

Except for going to the hospital every weekend to accompany Ji Jin, her life has not changed.

He still wakes up half an hour earlier than before to listen to English, then wakes up Ji Fan in the beautiful and noisy female voice, and the two go to school together.

Song Jiang would visit her from time to time in the first class. After half a semester of harassment, Song Jiang and Li Shuangjiang had already become familiar with each other. The boys were self-familiar, and later they often went to play ball or games together.

Wang Zhuangzi still likes to make stern jokes with a stern face. From time to time, Zhao Ming was so angry that Wang Er was holding his chest and said that sooner or later he was about to have a heart attack. Fu Xiling became more courageous, and would be when Ji Fan grabbed her pen. Angrily patted him on the head.

The little girl had little energy, and her little soft hands clapped up like a massage. Ji Fan was not annoyed, and smiled and apologized before returning it to her.

It’s just that Jiang Qihuai’s position is always empty, and no one has ever been here.

His desk was clean and tidy, as if it had been in this position for six months.

At the beginning, Li Shuangjiang probably wanted to ask a few times, but was stopped by Fu Xiling’s eyes and stopped mentioning it.

No one is at a loss because of the sudden disappearance of a classmate, the earth is still turning, and life continues.

Only occasionally, Li Shuangjiang habitually turned his head and stretched his neck in the morning before finishing his homework and shouted: “Brother Huai, let me copy the physics homework.” , And then turned around while muttering “My brain”, and then looked at her carefully.

Tao Zhi lowered his head to write the paper, and didn’t respond as if he hadn’t heard it.

Everyone knew what happened between them, but no one asked what happened.

Tao Zhi seems to be okay every day, but very occasionally, when she is eating or reading a book on the sofa, she will be in a daze for a long time.

She never asked Tao Xiuping how Jiang Qihuai is now, whether he has transferred schools or where he has transferred, Tao Xiuping will not take the initiative to talk about this to her.

Only at a certain dinner time, he asked Tao Zhi if he wanted to transfer.

Tao Zhi poked the rice, raised his head blankly and asked, “Why?”

Tao Xiuping looked at her distressedly, without speaking.

She actually knows why.

The teaching building, canteen, water room, classroom, and stadium in Experiment 1.

In front of the glass counter of the commissary, the honor wall in the lobby on the first floor, the school doctor’s room full of the smell of disinfectant water, secretly, the bottom of the desk holding hands.

His shadow is everywhere.

After a long silence, Tao Zhi slowly asked, “Where are we going?”

Seeing her let go, Tao Xiuping also let out a sigh of relief: “Will you go to the third middle school? When the final exam is finished, the next semester will be over. I asked someone to inquire about it. The teaching staff is slightly stronger than the experiment.” He specifically avoided the option of High School Affiliated and said, “Not far from home, and on the way to the experiment, you can still go to school with Xiaofan every morning.”

Ji Fan raised his head upon hearing the words: “Am I not going?”

“Just leave me in the experiment and be honest,” Tao Xiuping raised his hand and knocked on his head. “You have to check your grades when you transfer to the third middle school. Look at your score. You didn’t get too high in the exam. When will you be able to take the test of five hundred, I will put it in for you.”

Ji Fan curled his lips: “Then I’m still experimenting. At least I have more friends, so it’s a bit fun.”

The matter of transferring school seems to be settled in this way. Tao Xiuping took the time to help her contact her and prepare to deal with various procedures. Tao Zhi was always very cooperative throughout the process.

At the end of January, after the final exam, it was a long winter vacation in the north.

Tao Zhi’s final exam results dropped by nearly 100 points compared to the previous monthly exam. The original top-notch English was also terrible this time. After the parent meeting, Tao Xiuping came back, but said nothing.

Tao Zhi sat in front of the sofa and was dragged by Ji Fan to play mobile games. He watched Tao Xiuping make a cup of tea and put it on the coffee table, then sat across from them with his notebook, and asked carefully: “What will happen to the parents?”

“Huh?” Tao Xiuping raised his head, “Very good, your teacher Wang also specially asked me to chat alone, saying that you are going to move away next semester, he is very reluctant to bear you.”

Tao Zhi pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “My total score this time is nearly 100 points lower than the last time.”

Tao Xiuping was happy. He straightened his face and suddenly said solemnly: “Dad was also shocked when he saw it.”

Tao Zhi said nothing.

Tao Xiuping continued: “My daughter can now get more than 400 points in the test. How can I keep my dad from learning to become so good?”

Ji Fan rolled his eyes and said quietly, “Don’t worry, even if you block the toilet with constipation in the toilet someday, Old Tao will say–” He paused, learning Tao Xiuping’s tone and eloquently said:” My daughter can block the toilet now? It’s too awesome!”

Tao Zhi slapped him on the head, and Ji Fan exaggeratedly exclaimed: “Old Tao! Your girl beats me every day! Is she violent?”

Tao Xiuping: “Don’t talk dirty.”

Ji Fan dropped the phone and sighed bitterly, “I can understand it. I don’t have any status in this family.”

Tao Zhi couldn’t help pursing his mouth, and raised his hand to squeeze his hair, Tao Xiuping also followed.

He looked at the two children hustling together on the opposite sofa, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, “Xiao Fan, you can come back. Dad is really happy.”

Ji Fan’s hand was still in Tao Zhi’s squeaky nest. He paused when he heard the words. He looked away uncomfortably: “Why are you doing these sensational all of a sudden…”

“I was probably afraid of being poor before, and I felt that economic conditions are more important than anything else. I have a family, a wife and children. I want to make money and give you the best life. I have the ability to do it.” Tao Xiuping sighed. He said, “But now, maybe because you are old, people will change their minds when they are old. The money is not too much, it is enough to spend. Dad is now, I just want to watch you grow up happily.”

Ji Fan looked at him suspiciously: “Lao Tao, are you really going to go bankrupt, and put it here to vaccinate us in advance? Then I have to ask for money. I just took a pair of limited edition sneakers outside the Internet. Woolen cloth.”

Tao Xiuping: “…”

When I was in school, I always felt that life was too slow, and in the winter vacation, time would always go very quickly.

Tao Zhi’s school files and various procedures have been completed one after another. Next semester, she will start a new life in a new environment.

The night before school started, she sorted out all the study materials, papers and notes that she had used for six months in the room little by little.

Her previous papers were always blank, and almost a few of them could write, and most of what she wrote was copied. Now, almost every one is full of words.

The answer written in two-color pens, the black one is flying with phoenixes, and the red one is simple and elegant.

She stared at the red handwriting for a while. This was the first time in months that she had seen the traces he actually left.

They all speak like their own words.

Tao Zhi always felt that Jiang Qihuai’s words had a contradictory introversion and madness.

So she never felt that he was the kind of person who would succumb to fate. The only reason for compromise was probably because he didn’t like him enough.

She lowered her eyes, stacked the test papers one by one, knocked them together, pushed the thick stacks to the corner of the table, and then went to sort out the information books.

The data books full of Dangdang were piled up one by one by her, and the last mathematics handout was opened, revealing the following English composition selections.

Tao Zhi’s fingers paused.

She originally intended to give it to him that day, but then she hid it secretly like a thief, and both of them forgot the book.

This forgotten, I never remembered it again.

Tao Zhi dragged the book in front of him, remembering the night the boy gave her the book.

The bedroom is small and tidy, the desk lamp is bright, the strawberries are placed on the plate, and the pictures on the wall tell the secrets they don’t know.

The room that had hidden and clarified too many thoughts about her teenage years was no longer a field that she was qualified to set foot in.

Tao Zhi sucked the sour tip of his nose and slowly opened the worn book cover, revealing the title page inside.

There are four words on it.

Once she was serious, contented and reverent to write her heart on it.

She enthusiastically cut open all her almost overflowing likes and held them in front of him, and now it seemed that every word seemed pale and absurd.

Tao Zhi clutched the edge of the book tightly, lowered his head, his eyes opened wide and he looked at the row of characters that seemed to be written only yesterday. After holding back the tears for several months, he was finally completely out of control. Large pieces fell off.

Tears fell on the thin paper, and she took out the pen, trying to cross out her self-righteousness, but the tip of the pen was hanging on the paper, and she was reluctant to fall on it for a long time.

She raised her hand and wiped her eyes, stroke by stroke, and slowly wrote a few more words in front of the four words.

The handwriting fell on the damp paper, which was a little difficult to write. She went back and forth, following the last handwriting over and over again, as if to force herself to recognize some fact.

Until the last time, the page was fragile and overwhelmed, and the sharp tip of the pen penetrated the page, making a blunt stroke on her heart.

She only added three words to the front.

——Doesn’t belong, branch, Jiang
