Peach Branch Bubbles - Chapter 77
Just after Jiang Qihuai watched WeChat for a while, in less than ten minutes, there were many more messages in his circle of friends.
This person usually can’t wait for people all over the world not to talk to him. I didn’t expect that the circle of friends would be quite lively.
The corners of Tao Zhi’s lips curled downward, and he pointed to the cover of the circle of friends he had just set up and said, “Director Jiang, are you so ostentatious?”
An innocent look who hadn’t done anything publicly just now.
Jiang Qihuai stared at the cover, flashed the screen twice with his fingertips and said, “I think they are all like this.”
Tao Zhi didn’t react, “Who?”
Jiang Qihuai: “I have a girlfriend.”
When he said this, he was serious and plain, as if it was about dating, what he saw from others and thought it was correct, so he began to study meticulously.
Tao Zhi held back his smile and nodded solemnly: “Indeed, and there are a few more words to add to this.”
Jiang Qihuai looked sideways and looked at her: “Huh?”
Tao Zhi pointed to the blank space above the photo and said, “Here is a P-up-don’t look at my boyfriend’s circle of friends.”
Jiang Qihuai: “…”
The two of them were there, you said and I said, seeing Ji Fan’s eye sockets swell up, he really couldn’t help rolling his eyes: “I’m so idle that I have to come to eat such a meal.”
“Fortunately, you are here. I don’t particularly want to eat with the two of them alone,” Fu Xiling whispered next to him, “I have to be a light bulb alone.”
After eating this meal, several restaurants liked it, and the others vomited. Ji Fan’s eyes were almost blinded by nausea, and the meal was finally finished.
The man made the meal, Tao Zhi and Fu Xiling packed up the dishes and brought them to the kitchen to wash the dishes. After the bottles and jars were washed, they came out of the kitchen and saw Ji Fan and Jiang Qihuai sitting on both ends of the sofa. One person occupies half of the country, one watching TV and the other playing mobile phones, and the atmosphere is quiet and solemn as if sitting in the Great Hall of the People.
Hearing people coming out, Jiang Qihuai put down his phone and raised his head. Tao Zhi glanced at his screen accidentally when he walked over.
Although he cut the screen very fast, Tao Zhi still vaguely saw the selfie of himself flashed past.
That’s it.
Tao Zhi raised his eyebrows, feeling that he had found something new again.
Fu Xiling washed the fruit and brought it over. Tao Zhi’s work was not finished yet, so he was busy holding the computer next to him.
Ji Fan sat on the sofa as if glue was glued under his butt, watching the soap opera blankly, as if he had made up his mind. As long as Jiang Qihuai didn’t move, he would not leave.
Tao Zhi tossed for a while in the later period, but he still had no inspiration. He thought that Ji Fan’s soap opera was too noisy, so he hugged the computer and went into the bedroom.
Not long after she went in, Jiang Qihuai went to a bathroom. Just after she was together, Ji Fan reacted instantly and looked at him warily: “Why go?”
“…”
Judging from Tao Zhi’s face, Jiang Qihuai felt that he could bear him for two more minutes.
He pointed to the toilet door and indifferently invited him: “Want to be together?”
Ji Fan choked, turned his head and sat back again.
Looking at his series of miraculous reactions, Fu Xiling said incomprehensibly: “You have to watch when someone is in love.”
Ji Fan leaned into the sofa and said nothing.
He didn’t know why he wanted to be like this.
Probably because he vaguely felt Tao Zhi’s ups and downs in that relationship that year, because of Jiang Qihuai’s departure.
Looking at her again after many years, it seemed that he finally found the most vivid piece of soul that had been lost for a long time because of his return.
He didn’t deal with Jiang Qihuai very much at first, but it was because of Tao Zhi’s face that he reluctantly accepted him. Later, after a long time, the two people got along with each other in harmony. Although Ji Fan has never said it, he actually regards Jiang Qihuai as a friend.
I treat you as a brother. You seem to hook up with me, brothers, but when you turn back, you become my brother-in-law again.
You used to make her so sad.
Ji Fan racked his brains and thought about it, but he didn’t think of any suitable words to explain to Fu Xiling. There were some things he said, the old man, that seemed hypocritical.
For a long time, he spit out a few words with a sullen face: “I just can’t see Jiang Qihuai happy.”
“…”
Fu Xiling flashed in his mind a hundred small Nashua stories about taking arrogant love and killing overbearing presidents torturing me and so on.
Fu Xiling murmured, “I don’t know if it’s you or me.”
At around nine o’clock in the evening, Ji Fan and Jiang Qihuai left. Before leaving, Ji Fan specially reminded Tao Zhi to remember to go home and have dinner with Tao Xiuping on the weekend.
Ji Fan did not move out, but when he was busy on business trips, he would be away from home for several weeks. When he was not in the imperial capital, Tao Zhi would usually go home three or four times a week to chat with Tao Xiuping for dinner. When he comes back, Tao Zhi will return to family dinner at least once a week.
When Ji Fan said this, Tao Zhi answered, while subconsciously glanced at Jiang Qihuai.
She originally wanted to take Jiang Qihuai back this year for the New Year, but she had no other ideas, but she didn’t want him to be alone on such a day.
He already has her now.
However, seeing the parents and going back to the New Year will bring an invisible pressure to people.
Tao Zhi has not had time to discuss with Jiang Qihuai, nor has he talked to Tao Xiuping.
Tao Xiuping didn’t even know that Jiang Qihuai had returned.
…
Tao Zhi kept thinking about this in his heart, and was a little absent-minded for the next few days.
On Friday night, she drove home from the studio directly. Aunt Zhang quit her job and returned to her hometown a few years ago. The newly invited aunt Tao Xiuping didn’t talk much, but cooking was just as delicious.
When Tao Zhi arrived home, dinner was almost ready. Tao Xiuping was sitting on the sofa watching his new variety show with a tablet.
Several single men and women live together in the same house for a period of time, cook together, do housework and chat, and then pair up.
Tao Xiuping watched with interest, holding a purple clay pot in one hand and pouring tea, his eyes were reluctant to leave the screen, and regretted: “Why no one chooses number three, the little girl is so good.”
Tao Zhi took off his coat and sat down, then stretched his head and took a look: “You are entering old age ahead of schedule, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the company is not busy?”
“How can I be busy every day, this is not a combination of work and rest,” Tao Xiuping said, “I haven’t watched this show for two weeks. It’s not easy to be a bit empty.”
“The last time you watched that dad’s symposium.” Tao Zhi asked.
“It’s over, the pair didn’t make it, but one was divided,” Tao Xiuping gloated, “I saw that young man was not good.”
When the music was over, he said leisurely: “I watched this show and changed a few other girls, but I don’t have one girl yet.”
Tao Zhi was waiting for his words.
Before she could speak, Ji Fan came downstairs, rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and said with a throat: “Don’t worry, she has it!”
Tao Zhi: “…”
Tao Xiuping was silent for a few seconds, turned his face, looked at Tao Zhi and asked, “What are you doing?”
“…I have a boyfriend.” Tao Zhi said honestly.
After she finished speaking, she saw Tao Xiuping faintly relieved.
Tao Xiuping’s heart fell back from his throat again, and he nodded and continued to watch the variety show.
No one spoke for a while, Tao Zhi stayed with him for five or six minutes. Tao Xiuping suddenly turned his head and said: “Actually, Dad thought about it for a while, you are still young, and you are not so worried about falling in love. “
“…”
Tao Zhi blinked: “Then you keep pushing.”
Tao Xiu spread his hand and said, “Then I am not idle and all right.”
Tao Zhi nodded, grabbed a grape from the fruit tray of the coffee table, and said with his legs folded: “Then, do you have anything to ask about my new boyfriend?”
“What can I ask, what can I ask?” Tao Xiu said with a wave of his hand, “It is your business to fall in love, I am curious about what your partner is doing?”
Tao Zhi: “You really don’t ask?”
Tao Xiuping: “How old are you, where are people, what do you do? What do your parents do?”
“…”
Tao Zhi didn’t want to betray him anymore, but said in a real way: “Dad, you know him.”
Tao Xiuping said, “Huh?”
“I, I grew up like this and only ever had a boyfriend,” Tao Zhi said slowly, looking at him, “Yes, there is always only that boyfriend.”
Tao Xiuping understood her meaning almost instantly.
He seemed to know it for a moment, and he didn’t even have much unexpected emotions, but his expression was obviously lighter than just before: “Or that young man?”
Tao Zhi pursed his lips: “Boss Tao, how old are these years, don’t you still sit down because of your family?”
Tao Xiuping looked at her amusedly: “This is the beginning? I haven’t said a word yet, did I let you break up or what?”
Tao Zhi curled his lips: “You wouldn’t tell me to break up, you would stubbornly stumble on me.”
Tao Xiuping let out a “hey”, put the tea cup in his hand on the coffee table, raised his hand and knocked her head: “Dad is not a mess, I just ask you, what can you promise me, his family and growing up environment are right? His character is not affected? How can you guarantee that he will not have the bad side that you don’t know?”
“Zhizhi, Dad has always known that you are a child with a very warm personality,” Tao Xiuping sighed, “but you are my daughter, and I also have my own selfishness. Dad hopes that you will be with a boy who can give you warmth in the future. Together, instead of letting you share your temperature with him.”
“I am willing to share it with him,” Tao Zhi bit the flesh on his lips and said stubbornly, “Moreover, he changed me first, because it is him that I want to learn, work hard, and become a better one. People, I earned it no matter how you look at it.”
Tao Zhi didn’t know why everyone thought Jiang Qihuai was not good.
He is obviously warm and powerful.
Even in those years without him, the temperature he brought is still firmly and permanently affecting her. When she is lazy, when she wants to give up, when she feels hard, when she can hardly go on.
Tao Zhi once stood alone on the top of the mountain, thinking that he would never find her end.
It wasn’t until many years later that she understood that Jiang Qihuai was never her end point. He was always the mountain that silently lifted her up and supported her all the way up.
He didn’t say a word or said a word, but silently and heavily, he became all her strength.
Tao Zhi understood that without him, there would probably be no mountaintops for the rest of her life.
After Tao Zhi said this, Tao Xiuping didn’t answer any more, until the dinner was almost over, the father and daughter were so in a tacit understanding that they never talked about the topic again.
It wasn’t until Tao Zhi put down his chopsticks and opened the chair to go upstairs, Tao Xiuping suddenly said: “I have time to bring back for a meal.”
Tao Zhi’s movements were set in place, she turned her head in a daze, and slowly understood what he meant.
Then, she pursed her lips and looked at him with a strained expression trying her best.
“Don’t hold back, those eyes are almost bends out of sight,” Tao Xiuping sighed, “Don’t be too beautiful, I am not expressing my position, then I must not get in touch with and understand first.”
Tao Zhi squinted his head twice, then suddenly ran around the dining table, stretched out his arms and put his arms around Tao Xiuping’s neck heavily.
Tao Xiuping was so strong that he almost didn’t hold his breath.
“Daddy is the best!” Tao Zhi said happily, hugging him, then let go and ran upstairs.
Tao Zhi went back to the bedroom happily, lay down on the bed and opened WeChat at the place where he couldn’t wait to find Jiang Qihuai to play.
Tao Xiuping hadn’t remembered until the little girl’s shadow had disappeared on the stairs.
He turned to look at Ji Fan: “She hasn’t been like this in a few years?”
“It’s been twenty years,” Ji Fan said.
Tao Xiuping touched his neck for a while and recollected his lovely girl’s enthusiasm. He suddenly regretted: “You said this, should I agree to it sooner?”
Ji Fan: “…”
Jiang Qihuai added a few days in a row.
Various industries are already busy near the end of the new year, and the office is still brightly lit at ninety o’clock in the evening for several weeks.
When Tao Zhi sent the message, Jiang Qihuai was in a meeting.
Lin Suyan stood in front of the projection screen and gave a passionate speech to the PPT. Jiang Qihuai’s mobile phone vibrated several times in his pocket.
At first, he didn’t respond. The other party waited for a few minutes, probably because he didn’t wait for his response and started to continue the earthquake frantically.
At this frequency, basically there will be no other people except a certain princess.
Jiang Qihuai took out the phone calmly, clicked on the message and looked down.
What catches the eye is a wave of self-portrait shots of someone in a row.
And it continues to play.
Self-portraits with different gestures and expressions constantly swiped his chat interface screen, wearing long skirts, coats, and jeans.
The latest one is a picture of a swimsuit by the sea. The little girl is lying on the beach wearing a white split swimsuit, with a piece of light-colored gauze wrapped around her body, the semi-wet yarn is attached to her body, and the curve of the waist is looming.
Jiang Qihuai: “…”
In the front, Lin Suyan analyzed the data in a serious tone, and the secretary next to him was crackling on the keyboard, and the professional jargon and serious atmosphere filled the entire conference room.
And their investment director secretly looked at his girlfriend’s wet swimsuit photos under the conference table.
Jiang Qihuai’s eyelids twitched, and finally couldn’t help but knocked on a question mark.
Seeing his reply, Tao Zhi finally stopped posting his photos.
[Branches of grapes]: peaches and peaches! You are awake!
Jiang Qihuai digested the name for three seconds, then glanced at his new WeChat name, and it became clear.
He has not had time to type.
[Branch Grapes]: Next time, if you want to see your girlfriend’s photos, you don’t have to just stare at that one. There are 13,000 photos in my album. You can see as many photos as you want.
[Branches of grapes]: Some wear clothes.
Jiang Qihuai is still understanding this sentence.
Tao Zhi continued to send.
[Branches and grapes]: There are also those who don’t wear clothes.
Jiang Qihuai: “…”
