Peach Branch Bubbles - Chapter 82
The absurd breath in the bedroom was gone, and it was full of silence.
Tao Zhi hung his head and didn’t speak. He played with Jiang Qihuai’s hand, from the tip of the finger to the slender fingers with distinct joints, the back of the hand with clear metacarpal bones to the thin wrist, and then he grabbed his wrist bone.
For Tao Zhi, things in the past are in fact the past, there is no need to mention it again. There have been grievances and complaints, but more of them are still distressed and reluctant.
People seem to be like this. I can go on persistently and firmly when I am injured, but once my own reason indirectly affects important people, I will start to question, I will be confused, and I will not know what to do for a while. Going on, I don’t know if my choice is right or wrong.
Tao Zhi even put himself in and wondered if she was Jiang Qihuai at the time, would she have made the exact same choice as him.
She didn’t want him to be imprisoned in the past. What she was looking forward to was the future and the future that they would walk together.
“That’s how it is to fall in love,” she said softly, “would cry and be unhappy. Two people have different personalities and different thoughts, but they have to run in. The gears need to be bitten bit by bit, but more often they are still happy. “
“Moreover, why do you take all your faults on yourself, it was not entirely your problem,” Tao Zhi raised his head and looked at him dissatisfied. It was completely right at the time. I was also a little impulsive at the time.”
She reluctantly said reluctantly: “I felt that I was betrayed by you for a while. I knew you were the kind of **** character who couldn’t get a fart without asking you, and I knew you were. Why did you say that? I still didn’t ask anything because I was angry for a while.”
When Jiang Qihuai was a teenager, she lacked a sense of frankness, but she was actually a little more impulsive.
It is too difficult to be a perfect person.
It is because it is difficult, it is because it will run into a wall, will do something wrong, will regret it, will be unwilling, so talents will continue to grow up.
No one can be perfect in every aspect from birth.
She held his wrist and lifted it slightly, her fingers digging into his fingers, her ten fingers intertwined, and the warm palms pressed together: “Look, we both obviously had faults and misses, but in the end I’ve come to the present, this thing is rare enough, it shows how much I like you.”
She repeated: “Jiang Qihuai, I like you very much.”
Jiang Qihuai’s eyelashes trembled slightly and looked at her deeply.
She has been living thoroughly and soberly.
Don’t stick to the things that have passed, don’t entangle the unimportant people, just follow your purest desire all the way forward.
Because of this, she is like an inextinguishable firework, always warm and bright.
He didn’t speak, Tao Zhi shook his hand and said, “Why don’t you say that you also like me?”
She shook her hand and turned around, raised her hand to grab his ears, and said dissatisfiedly: “Hurry up, don’t you like me?”
Jiang Qihuai let her pinch her ears, and her ears stood up, looking like a big dog.
He was squeezed and pulled forward by her, lowered his head along the way, his slightly cool lips pressed against her forehead, and he paused, his voice was as soft as he was about to melt into the air: “I love you very much.”
Tao Zhi was quiet for a moment.
She lost her mind for a moment, and she had an illusion that she hadn’t even heard. After reacting, she opened her eyes and looked at him: “You say it again.”
Jiang Qihuai twitched the corners of his lips: “What are you talking about?”
“Just the sentence just now! Don’t pretend to be stupid.” Tao Zhi flopped out of his arms, straddling his long legs, pulling on his thighs, sore.
She yelled “Oh”, relieved her strength, and lay on him again softly.
Jiang Qihuai sighed and leaned into the quilt to help her rub her legs without rushing: “Can’t you be honest for a while.”
“Whose fault is this?” Tao Zhi said depressed.
Jiang Qihuai said in a leisurely tone: “Mine.”
Tao Zhi raised his head and charged with expressionlessly: “Jiang Qihuai, every time you admit your mistakes, you are very insincere, especially when you say’mine’-these two words are not serious at all. .”
“…”
Jiang Qihuai wanted to take back her previous thoughts about her not sticking to the past. This little girl has always been grudges and loves to turn over old accounts.
“It’s not very serious, it was originally mine.”
He lowered his eyes and laughed: “The princess will never be wrong.”
Tao Zhi fell asleep the next day. When it was light, she felt the movement of the people next to her getting up. She opened her eyes and glanced to the side subconsciously.
Jiang Qihuai sat on the side of the bed, noticed that she was awake, leaned over and kissed her: “I’m going to work, and you will sleep for a while.”
Tao Zhi retracted into the quilt and nodded dazedly.
Jiang Qihuai continued: “I’ll cook a porridge for you later. If it’s cold, warm it up and drink it.”
She buried her head in the pillow, so sleepy that she didn’t want to talk, shook her head twice to indicate that she had heard it, and fell asleep again.
It was almost noon when I woke up.
She sat up with a yawn, looked at the strange bedroom and the quilt on her body, and took a few seconds to reflect where she was and what happened last night.
Tao Zhi decided to give himself a day off in bed.
She sent a WeChat message to Xu Suinian and told him that she would not go to the studio today, then she wriggled down, got into the bed again, and clicked on Fu Xiling’s WeChat.
[Grapes]: I’m asleep.
[Fu Xiling]:?
[Fu Xiling]: It’s good to sleep, is it cool?
Tao Zhi didn’t know how to describe it, and only sent one word.
[Grapes]: Ah…
[Fu Xiling]: Okay, no need to say more, I understand.
Tao Zhi was in a good mood. She played with her mobile phone and lay in bed comfortably for a while, got up and got out of bed to wash, went to the kitchen to have a bowl of tomato egg porridge, and drank slowly.
After drinking, she went to the Jiang Qihuai bookshelf to pick a few books and lay down on the sofa to read them.
When I am free, time flies extremely fast.
After ordering the takeaway at noon, Tao Zhi received a call from Jiang Hesheng.
She picked it up while reading, and lazily responded, “Hey.”
“The call was answered quickly,” Jiang Hesheng said, “Why didn’t WeChat answer?”
“I didn’t look at the phone,” Tao Zhi turned the pages of his book. “Why Dr. Jiang is free to find me today?”
“I’m going to study in City A tomorrow. I don’t know when I will meet next time. I want to tell you something,” Jiang Hesheng said, “have a meal at noon?”
Tao Zhi: “I’ll be leaving tomorrow? Isn’t it all about the New Year.”
“Well, I won’t be back during the Chinese New Year. I have to be on duty and the holiday is not a few days away.” Jiang Hesheng smiled, “How can a doctor have a year?”
“Thank you,” Tao Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at his watch, “I have eaten at noon. If you are not on duty tonight, I will treat you to dinner, and I will send you your address later.”
Jiang Hesheng responded.
Tao Zhi restaurant was chosen near Jiang Qihuai Company. Jiang Qihuai has to work overtime today. She calculated the time and just went to his company to pick him up from get off work after finishing the meal at night.
She went home and changed her clothes and put on some makeup. When she arrived at the restaurant, she just stepped on the appointment time.
Jiang Hesheng has always been the kind of person who arrives ten minutes early. When Tao Zhi arrived, he was already sitting there and waiting.
The two ordered a good meal and chatted about the current situation casually while eating.
Jiang Hesheng has a strong ability and a good personality. He was sent out for further training when he was less than 30 years old. Waiting for a year or two to return is also very promising. Tao Zhi teased him: “Doctor Jiang Jingui, he is handsome and works well. The little girl is chasing, you also find someone you like to save Uncle Jiang urging you every day.”
Jiang Hesheng laughed: “There are so many little girls chasing after them, there are really no one.”
Tao Zhi took a sip of watermelon juice and said solemnly: “Lao Tao has recently studied the blind date market too thoroughly, and now there are two of the most popular in the blind date market, female teachers and male doctors. I even know about them every day.”
“So, didn’t you have taken me to meet you before?” Jiang Hesheng glanced at her and said jokingly, “My dad talked to me about you as soon as he got home, saying he saw you as a daughter, and compared you with you. I don’t have any status at all in my own life.”
“This is a very normal thing, just get used to it,” Tao Zhi said with a smile, “After all, I’m pretty cute.”
“He also asked me what I think of you.” Jiang Hesheng said.
“Huh? What do you say,” Tao Zhiman said casually, “you said that when I asked you to be a tutor in high school, I could get four hundred points on the test?”
Jiang Hesheng: “Is it four hundred? Three hundred and five, I remember.”
“…”
Tao Zhi looked at him expressionlessly and warned: “Doctor Jiang, I advise you to cherish our friendship.”
Jiang Hesheng laughed.
He watched her lower her eyes and curled her mouth. The little girl had long and thick eyelashes, like two small brushes, which made people tickle.
His smile faded, and he said softly, “I told him, I think you are good.”
Tao Zhi waved his hand: “Of course I am fine.”
Jiang Hesheng continued: “It’s just that I’m a little courageous. After waiting for many years, I didn’t dare to confess it once.”
Tao Zhi’s chopsticks paused and raised his head.
Jiang Hesheng smiled and looked at her with a serious look: “At first, I thought you were young, so I can barely be your teacher. I think these will always be a little guilty. Later, after you finished the college entrance examination, you went to college because you knew you for too long. It’s not easy to speak.”
He lowered his head and smiled bitterly: “I always feel that something is said, is it even a friend can’t do it.”
Rao is a person like Tao Zhi who is extremely insensitive to this aspect, and he fully understands what he means.
She stared at him blankly, a little surprised, and a little frightened.
They have known each other for so many years, and Jiang Hesheng has never been ambiguous to her. The two people don’t even contact her very often. Sometimes they chat on WeChat and sometimes make appointments for a meal.
He is like a gentle big brother who will solve her troubles and listen to her patiently.
Tao Zhi put down his chopsticks, a little at a loss.
“After dinner some time ago, I told my dad about this,” Jiang Hesheng continued, “I think we know each other in our family, and we know each other in terms of character. I don’t have any bad habits. I have no bad habits. It should not be bad, the character is not bad, and I always…like you.”
He took a deep breath and said as if he had made up his mind: “I won’t be in the imperial capital for a long time after I leave. I’m just thinking, if I don’t say anything, it might be too late in the future.”
Tao Zhi put his fingers on the edge of the table and gently rubbed them, and said at a loss: “I…”
Seeing her reaction, Jiang Hesheng smiled again: “Why are you so nervous? I just think this should be told to let you know. If you don’t meet someone you like, or you just think about me a little bit?”
Tao Zhi lowered his head and licked his lips, his voice was very soft: “I have a boyfriend.”
Jiang Hesheng was startled.
Tao Zhi has always refused to people who are unfamiliar, but when faced with friends for so many years, she suddenly felt that she couldn’t even organize her words smoothly.
“I have always regarded you as a very good friend. Just, one of my best friends, I will want to tell you what I can’t figure out,” Tao Zhi said slowly, “When my mother had an accident , You and your uncles and aunts have helped a lot, I always remember, thank you very much, but…”
Tao Zhi paused, and said with some difficulty: “I have someone I like. I liked him in high school. I like him for many years, and I have met him again recently.”
When she said this, Jiang Hesheng suddenly remembered inexplicably many years ago, at a certain sports meeting when she was still in high school, the teenager made no secret of the hostile cold eyes and the vague figure holding her and walking away.
“Ah…” Jiang Hesheng quickly concealed his momentary gaffe, and laughed again, “Is that right? We Zhizhi also met someone we like.”
Tao Zhi pursed his lips, like a child who has done something wrong, without speaking.
“It’s okay,” Jiang Hesheng waved his hand and looked at her amusedly, “Don’t look so serious, right? It’s not a big deal, confession is rejected, this is so common, you will still treat me as your brother and friend in the future. , You can tell me anything, it’s no different from before.”
Tao Zhi nodded.
He said so, and she didn’t say anything, but both people knew clearly that some relationships would be different.
After the meal, Tao Zhi’s mood was obviously lower than before, but Jiang Hesheng was still like a okay person. Tao Zhi didn’t want to show what he should do. He cheered up and finished the meal.
Because what happened at the dinner table ended much later than expected. During the period, I didn’t check the phone. Jiang Qihuai sent her several messages, but Tao Zhi didn’t see it.
When I left the restaurant, it started to snow. Two people stood at the door. Tao Zhi pulled the scarf up, thinking about it separately.
She looked at him and stopped talking.
“Oh, I’m really fine,” Jiang Hesheng laughed, “I’ll be leaving tomorrow. I guess there won’t be many chances to see each other afterwards. Give me a hug?”
He watched her open his arms and said jokingly: “The kind of friend nature, just as a comforting end to my relationship that hasn’t had time to start.”
Tao Zhi hesitated, before taking a short step forward.
His movements were polite and measured. He kept a little distance. His arm touched her arm vainly. He lightly patted her back twice, and said warmly: “Okay, I’m complete, I wish Xiaotao From now on, I will do what I want to do, and I will always be with the person I like.”
“Thank you,” Tao Zhi said in a low voice, “I hope you can find someone you like, and I will give you a big red envelope when you get married in the future.”
Jiang Hesheng let go and took a step back.
Tao Zhi said goodbye to him, did not say anything else, turned and walked forward.
She didn’t look back, but she always felt that someone behind her had been watching her. She uncomfortably pulled her phone out of her coat pocket and saw the message that Jiang Qihuai had sent her.
There are also two missed calls, the most recent one was two minutes ago.
Tao Zhi didn’t know why, he didn’t do anything, but suddenly he felt a little guilty.
She just wanted to go back when the third phone rang.
The phone suddenly shook in her hand, Tao Zhi shook his hand, and quickly picked it up, she cleared her throat and said, “Hello?”
Jiang Qihuai said nothing.
Tao Zhi: “Hello? Mosimosi? Savadika?”
“Look back.” Jiang Qihuai said.
Tao Zhi “cocked” in his heart.
She turned her head and saw Jiang Hesheng standing in front of the restaurant. He stood with his head down for a few seconds, then turned and walked to the car next to him, got in the car and drove away.
“I didn’t let you look at him,” Jiang Qihuai said without emotion, “look at the other side.”
Tao Zhi turned around again tremblingly.
Jiang Qihuai’s car was parked on the side of the road diagonally across from the entrance of the restaurant. Others were standing by the side of the car leaning on the body. From this distance, they couldn’t see their expressions clearly, only seeing him holding the phone and looking over.
Tao Zhi’s heart suddenly began to panic.
She said cautiously: “Are you off work?”
Jiang Qihuai said nothing.
Tao Zhi was so flustered that he suddenly jumped and said, “Then why don’t you call me when you are off work?”
Jiang Qihuai gave a very cold smile.
Tao Zhi thought of the missed calls on her mobile phone, and she became even more guilty. She didn’t know when he was here. She didn’t see anything, although the moment she held Jiang Hesheng just kept a safe distance. He touched his arm symbolically.
She softened her tone and asked tentatively: “Have you been waiting for a long time?”
Jiang Qihuai didn’t answer her directly, only said: “Look at the snow falling on my head.”
Tao Zhi: “…”
Jiang Qihuai: “Did you see it.”
“I saw it.” Tao Zhi said dryly.
“Do you see what color it is?” Jiang Qihuai continued.
Tao Zhi: “…”
“You can, Tao Zhi,” Jiang Qihuai’s voice came over the phone, as cold as a ball of ice could fall in this cold winter and snowy weather, “Get out of bed and plan to turn your face and deny you?”
