Peach Branch Bubbles - Chapter 64
In the ice and snow, his palm carries a scorching temperature, like the only heat source.
The warm feeling was conveyed to the brain by the nerve endings of the skin on the wrist, and Tao Zhi was inexplicably trembling with the extremely warm touch.
She turned her whole body, her drooping eyes lifted, and her brain slowly turned one by one, trying to understand the meaning of what he said.
I haven’t seen him in a few years, but he hasn’t changed at all. The straight shot is clean and neat, just like the straightforward question he had when he noticed that he liked him.
After confirming that she was not self-sufficient, she smiled: “I started in high school, no matter how late I go home, I take the night by myself every day.”
Jiang Qihuai held her fingers loose.
“Later, someone accompanied me for a short walk, but that has passed, Jiang Qihuai, I followed your words and moved forward,” Tao Zhi’s voice was flat, without any emotions, “You can’t always Look back again.”
His hand holding her wrist has lost its strength before, Tao Zhi gently twitched his hand, and glanced at the car that had been waiting for a while on the side of the road.
She turned and walked over, without looking back.
Sitting in the back row, the car door slammed shut, and the driver confirmed the number with her.
Tao Zhi let out a “um”, only to realize that his voice had become choked.
Tao Zhi didn’t look back. She was afraid that if she turned her head and looked at him, she would fall short if she persisted.
She didn’t want to wait for Jiang Qihuai to come back.
She didn’t even think that she would see him again.
I didn’t fall in love at university just because I never met someone I like again. After graduation, I didn’t develop a relationship with the opposite **** except friends because I was busy at work and found it troublesome. The teenager I liked when I was young is just a beautiful and absurd dream. Amazing time is enough. When the dream is over, it is time to return to reality.
Tao Zhi originally thought it was just that.
But why when I met him again, at the moment I saw him, there would still be fireworks exploding in my heart and then blooming.
Why did she hear him talking, the moment she touched her, and the transmission of her body temperature would make her eyes seem to be immersed in warm water, so sour that she couldn’t control it.
She turned her head and glanced through the rear window until the car was far away.
Jiang Qihuai was still standing still, his tall and thin figure was stretched and lonely by the warm light in the white snow.
Tao Zhi lowered his head and covered his eyes, and his tears glided silently across his palms along his fingers.
Tao Zhi never felt that Jiang Qihuai did something wrong. When she grew up and learned more and learned more about the world, she clearly understood that the difference in personality between them was doomed to meet the two people. Go a different way.
Jiang Qihuai has always been a prudent perfectionist. He would consider the results before he habitually do things in the environment of his childhood. He would not irresponsibly lead her down the road that he is not sure where he is going. .
They were too young at the time, he and she were too young, they could not solve any problems, even objectively speaking, Jiang Qihuai’s choice at the time was the right one.
He sent her back to a safe and secure way home.
But Tao Zhi didn’t believe in evil, she didn’t want to think about the result first, even if the thorns on the road ahead were entangled with blood, she still wanted to rush through with him.
He was right.
He just underestimated how much she liked him.
Tao Zhi slept not peacefully this night.
His mind is full of chaotic dreams. Who is chanting the verses in a cold and gentle voice? Who is walking through the wall and the classroom with yellow curtains flying over it overlaps now? Who is holding it under the dark and narrow desk? Her hand said, for our sake.
When she woke up, she didn’t remember anything.
Sunlight penetrated into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains. Tao Zhi stood up straight on the bed, rubbed his painful head, got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
The warm water washed away the sleepy dazedness, and when she came out wrapped in a bathrobe, the phone buzzed on the bed.
Tao Zhi grabbed a handful of dripping hair with a towel, walked over and leaned over to pick up the phone.
As soon as I connected: “Well! After playing it three times, you won’t be up yet? What time is this?”
Tao Zhi stretched his hand out half of his arm, and Ji Fan’s roar could be heard from this distance: “Get up quickly, what time is this, you will be upside down day and night if no one cares about you at home, right? ——It’s okay. It’s too late to have lunch. You pack up and wait for me at home. I will pick you up later.”
Tao Zhi rolled his eyes. This person used to play games every day until four o’clock in the morning, and he didn’t know where he was. Now he has learned to teach others not to stay up late.
She threw the towel on the bed casually: “Are you back?”
“Well, I just got off the plane.” Ji Fan’s voice was very loud, and there was a faint voice from the airport. After graduation, he co-founded an independent sports fashion brand with a few friends, and he was busy with various factory channels every day. And the fashion shows of various countries, the sky is flying, and there is often no one for ten and a half months.
“Lao Wan came back from Spain for some fun this time. When the drawings come out, I will send them to make a sample,” Ji Fan said. “If it works, you can take pictures.”
Tao Zhi simply said, “No time.”
“Don’t, there are people in the family who don’t need it for nothing,” Ji Fan prolonged, “rest assured, knowing your price will benefit you.”
Hearing the benefits, Tao Zhi was a little moved: “What benefits?”
“Fresh beautiful man!” Ji Fan said excitedly, “My new foreign friend and friend in Spain is an amateur photographer. When I mentioned you to him, he was very excited, saying that he had seen one of your exhibitions. Son, I adore you very much.”
After two seconds of silence, Tao Zhi hung up the phone.
She slowly wiped her hair, blow-dry it, patted skin care products on her face layer by layer, put on a light make-up, and Ji Fan arrived when she chose lipstick.
Tao Zhi opened the door for him, took two lipsticks and blocked the door, and asked, “Which color is good.”
Even if Ji Fan is dealing with the fashion industry every day, he can’t tell the slight difference between women’s lipstick, and he just pointed out: “This, it suits you, this shell is expensive at first glance.”
While talking, he squeezed her into the door and swept around in the living room: “Where is Fu Xiling.”
“This weekend, people are going home.” Tao Zhi drew his lips into the small mirror in front of the entrance, and squinted him. “Drunkard doesn’t mean to drink?”
“What kind of drunk man, what kind of alcohol, I don’t drink well,” he murmured and urged her, “Hurry up, are you finished, Lao Tao is waiting at home.”
Tao Zhi’s house is not too far away from his home, and it takes more than ten minutes to drive past without traffic jams.
After picking up Tao Xiuping, Ji Fan opened a navigator and drove to the reserved Chinese restaurant.
Tao Xiuping was too hard when he was young, but now he is a lot of Buddha, unless he rarely travels, he held the tablet when he got in the car and watched the popular old father watch his daughter fall in love with a variety show.
Four or five female celebrities’ fathers sat in the studio and commented while watching the trivialities of their daughter and boyfriend’s daily routines.
Tao Xiuping is very addicted to watching this recently. Not only does he have to watch it, but he also has to substitute himself to express his testimonials with his fathers. He put his hand on the car window frame and wringed his eyebrows. He listened to one of the fathers inside after spitting out and agreeing. Said: “Indeed, this young man is not good at first sight, so hurry up and divide it.”
Waiting for the red light, Ji Fan stretched his head and took a look: “What’s so interesting about this variety show?”
Tao Zhi held the computer one by one and screened the photos taken by the peony flower fairy one by one, and answered without raising his head: “It can resonate, and now old men love to watch this.”
Tao Xiuping said leisurely: “My daughters and daughters are not looking for a partner. Can’t I see other girls and talk about boyfriends?”
“…”
Ji Fan shut up immediately, Tao Zhi struggled to sink himself into the back seat of the car, pretending not to exist.
It was noon when I arrived at the Chinese restaurant. As soon as Tao Zhi jumped out of the car, he saw Jiang Hesheng standing at the door.
Seeing her coming down, the man gave her a smile and walked over to greet Tao Xiuping.
Tao Zhi was stunned when he saw him, turned his head to look at Ji Fan, and squinted his eyes.
Ji Fan threw the car key in his hand to the parking man next to him, looked up at the sky, and whistled innocently.
This is a Chinese-style courtyard with a classical and quiet environment. It bypasses a winding path in a courtyard. There are two rows of bamboo forests in the entrance room, and a square wooden table can be vaguely seen behind.
Tao Zhi and Ji Fan walked at the back, passing through the elegantly furnished corridor, she whispered: “What do you mean? Why did Jiang Hesheng come?”
“I don’t know anything, I just listen to Lao Tao,” Ji Fan said in a low voice, “and, he is not the only one here.”
Tao Zhi hadn’t had time to savour what he meant by this sentence.
The waiter wearing a cheongsam to lead the way opened the door of the box with a smile, and there was a man sitting inside.
Tao Xiuping saw him and smiled: “Old Jiang!”
Father Jiang also raised his head, smiled and patted him: “I’m hungry when I wait for you. I haven’t seen you for a long time. Come and sit down.”
Tao Zhi: “…”
Even if the reaction was slow, she understood what was going on.
She stood by and called Uncle Jiang obediently.
Father Jiang responded with a smile: “Come on, sit down and see what you want to eat.”
Tao Zhi sat down next to Ji Fan and raised his eyes to meet Jiang Hesheng’s gaze. The man also looked a little embarrassed. He raised his hand to touch his nose and smiled helplessly.
Tao Zhi sighed inwardly.
Tao Xiuping had always wanted to match her with Jiang Hesheng. The two parents were familiar with each other and knew each other. The Jiang family had been doctors for three generations. Jiang Hesheng himself was also a top student of the Second Medical University.
Before Ji Jin’s matter, he also ran up and down to help a lot.
While waiting for the dishes, Tao Zhi listened to the two old men talking to each other in business.
Father Jiang poured a cup of tea and said with a smile: “I heard that Zhizhi is also a rising star in the photography industry now. He Sheng told me that some time ago, he won a very powerful award. “
“It’s a domestic water award.” Tao Zhi said modestly.
Father Jiang smiled and joked: “It’s a good thing to be able, and young people should be a little arrogant.”
It’s not too big for Ji Fan to watch the excitement next to him, and then he said, “My sister is a relatively low-key person.”
Tao Zhi quietly stomped his foot under the table.
No one mentioned anything about this meal, but it was tacitly understood. After the meal, Ji Fan sent the two elders back. When getting in the car, Father Jiang also specifically mentioned: “There is a teahouse next to here. We old people can’t keep up with your topics. You young people take care of yourself. Let’s talk, ah.”
Tao Zhi smiled and drove the people away. When the car disappeared, she let out a long sigh of relief: “The smile is stiff.”
Jiang Hesheng looked at her amusedly next to her: “Is it that exaggerated?”
“Of course, I’m an iceberg person,” Tao Zhi took it for granted. She turned her head dissatisfied and looked at him, “Doctor Jiang, when do you plan to find someone? My father and your father will keep us together every day. Pull, you are not too tired.”
“Huh?” Jiang Hesheng said with a smile, “How tired is this? Isn’t it fun?”
He pointed to the teahouse next to him: “Go, let’s talk about young people?”
Tao Zhi nodded, and walked over there and said, “I really can’t talk about young people’s topics with you. When you taught me as a tutor, the shadow left on me was too deep. We really got together. Son, it feels like a teacher-student relationship.”
Jiang Hesheng didn’t speak, the smile on his lips faded.
They walked into the teahouse, Tao Zhi watched him order a pot of Maojian, and asked the waiter for a large glass of rock candy.
Jiang Hesheng watched her pick up several pieces of tweezers and threw them into the tea cup, and shook her head: “You drink the tea like this and the taste itself is gone.”
Tao Zhi took a sip, adding sugar or bitterness, she wrinkled her face and stuck her tongue out: “Old Tao likes to drink tea at home every day, what’s the drink of this thing?”
The girl’s expression became very vivid at this moment, with a little childishness, and it made people unable to help but think of her girlish happiness.
Jiang Hesheng couldn’t help but laughed.
The two have known each other for many years and have been very familiar. There is nothing to worry about in chatting with each other. They can talk about everything from Jiang Hesheng’s patient to Tao Zhi’s local anecdotes that he met in various places to collect stories. Passing the corner of my eye, the welcoming guests at the door sounded softly and softly at the same time: “Welcome, are you one?”
Tao Zhi inexplicably glanced at the door subconsciously.
They didn’t go to the box. They sat at the table of individual guests by the window on the first floor. Tao Zhi’s position was facing the door. She just happened to see the person standing at the door.
She uttered a voice.
The man was wearing a dark overcoat, a loose gray cashmere scarf, short black hair, neat and clean, straight lips, and his eyes looked at her unblinkingly.
Jiang Qihuai’s eyes fell on her, and after a few seconds, he saw Jiang Hesheng sitting opposite him.
Last second, when she was still smiling and talking, Jiang Hesheng listened quietly, holding a teacup in one hand and helping her to add tea to it.
Two people talked and listened to each other, and the atmosphere was so harmonious that they couldn’t blend in and the third went in to disturb.
Jiang Qihuai resisted the urge to walk past regardless, he looked away and walked through the hall, into the first private room beside the corridor.
After sitting at the tea table, Lu Jiaheng heard the door sliding: “Quite soon.”
Jiang Qihuai pursed his lips, walked to the side and sat down, throwing his coat aside, and let out a dull noise: “How did you meet?”
Lu Jiaheng raised his eyebrows: “Is there no one I’m looking for? Isn’t the Japanese food store in the corner of the corner can find it for you.”
“But today is a coincidence,” he pointed the tea table with his fingertips, “I opened this restaurant for my wife.”
After a pause, his hand pointed out again: “The private kitchen opposite, from Cheng Yi’s family, by the way, I can tell you by the way that the two families had a meal over there today. The kind with the parents, don’t thank you.”
Jiang Qihuai said nothing again.
He lowered his eyes, and his tight jaw moved slightly, as if trying to restrain his emotions.
When Lu Jiaheng looked at him like this, his mood immediately became happy, but he still said kindly: “But I helped you observe it. It should be temporarily unsuccessful, and the atmosphere between boy and girl friends is completely absent.”
His voice was not clear yet, Jiang raised his eyes sharply.
Lu Jiaheng gave a “tsk”: “Why do you guys meet a girl one by one? It’s such a virtue. One doesn’t make money and becomes the editor-in-chief of some comics, and the other Wall Street doesn’t want to be like a stalker every day. “
He put his arm on the tea table, leaned forward, and said unhurriedly: “You are like this, brother.”
Jiang Qihuai: “?”
“If you can trust me… how to say, the skill of a happy love life chasing a girl, my brother will give you a trick.” Lu Jiaheng said.
Jiang Qihuai: “…”
