Chapter 40(1/2)
Tao Yu raised his eyebrows strangely, "Why are you laughing at?"
"Hmm?" He was in a mess around. He didn't hear what Tao Yu said clearly, so he couldn't help but walk to her side, and asked with his ears in his mouth, "What did you say?"
Although the young man's face is not as bright as adults, after several months of hard feeding by Tao Yu, his body has grown to most of his size, with wide shoulders and narrow waist, and very beautiful. Although he is still young, Tao Yu always forgets that he is still a minor.
Seeing him approaching suddenly, Tao Yu couldn't help but take a step back, and then smiled and scolded, "What do you think? Don't you know if men and women are not allowed to get along with each other? What are you doing so close?"
"...What can I do? Aren't you my sister?" Yue Linze said innocently.
Tao Yu blinked, and said without changing his expression, "Of course it's your sister, but even your sister, you can't get too close. Do you know if you don't match your etiquette like this?!"
"Okay." Yue Linze looked at her helplessly, and then he was about to walk forward.
Tao Yu hurriedly called him, "What are you doing?"
"Go home." Yue Linze replied.
Tao Yu glared at him, walked to him quickly, covered both of them with an umbrella, and then said, "It's raining, why don't you need an umbrella?"
"Didn't you say that men and women will not be close to each other?" Yue Linze said quietly.
Tao Yu choked for a moment and said funny, "You're just talking too much."
Yue Linze showed a slight smile, but was afraid that she would discover his secret. The smile only appeared for a moment, and he immediately pursed his lips, as if nothing had happened, and took the umbrella from her hand and blocked the heads of the two people.
The sky became foggy because of the light rain. Under the sky were all kinds of oil paper umbrellas, covering all kinds of people like mushrooms, slowly walking towards their respective directions.
Although it was not heavy, Tao Yu and Yue Linze were wet and sticky when they returned home. As soon as Tao Yu entered the door, he called Yue Linze to "go and boil some water, take a shower and eat."
"Yeah." Yue Linze nodded and walked towards the kitchen. Tao Yu paused for a moment, always feeling that this person was not obedient.
Is the rebellious period gone again?
Tao Yu hesitated for a moment, remembering what he said today that he might not be able to do well in the exam, so he went to the kitchen to find him.
Yue Linze was adding water to the pot, and when he heard the movement behind him, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'm afraid you're bored, come here to accompany you." Tao Yu smiled, then sat on the small stool in front of the ground pot, skillfully lit the fire and started to burn.
Yue Linze looked at her, silently filled the pot with water, covered the lid before sitting next to her, "Say whatever you have."
"...Can you put all your little cleverness into your studies? Don't always stare at me and ask for trouble?" Tao Yu complained, and realized that it was not appropriate to say that learning was now, so he immediately didn't dare to speak.
Yue Linze chuckled and said, "Okay, don't be careful. I'm just talking to you today. I'm so smart, how could I not do well in the exam?"
"Really or not?" Tao Yu looked at him and thought for a while, "No matter what is true or not, I don't have to do a very good job in the exam. You don't have to put pressure on yourself, do you know?"
Yue Linze nodded and responded in a low voice. Tao Yu smiled and saw the shadow of thick eyelashes reflected on his face because of the fire. This shadow would also jump with the size of the fire, which looked very fun.
... God really loves him, and even his eyelashes are outstandingly beautiful. Tao Yu suddenly felt bad and wanted to try to pull one down. Just as she was about to take action, Yue Linze suddenly looked up, and she unexpectedly met her pair of bright eyes as bright as the moon.
I don’t know if it was her illusion, but the atmosphere in the kitchen seemed to suddenly become sticky, making people feel difficult to breathe. Tao Yu blinked and said for a while, "There was a little bug on your eyelashes just now, but now it's gone."
Yue Linze looked at her calmly. Since the seed took root in his heart, his possessiveness for the woman in front of him became so high that he could not even control himself.
He wanted to possess her so much that he announced to everyone that this was his person.
Tao Yu faintly noticed a trace of danger. Her feet moved slightly, and the feeling of danger immediately disappeared. Looking at Yue Linze next to him, he was seriously adding firewood to the bottom of the pot.
...So it was an illusion. Tao Yu shook his head, thinking that it was time to take a break recently, otherwise how could he be so suspicious?
"What are you thinking?"
"I want to give myself a vacation."
"..." Yue Linze looked at her speechlessly, "You seem to have said before that you receive two or three patients every day?"
"Are there still fewer two or three? I'm just a slow job." Tao Yu said disgusted.
Yue Linze thought about it, and nodded immediately, "Then you can rest for a month. Anyway, the family is enough money now, so there is no need to work so hard every day."
"...It's enough to take a few days off, how can I take a month off? We are not the richest man now." Tao Yu glanced at him.
Yue Linze pursed his lips, "So what if you are not the richest man? Are you eating less or wearing less now? I think life is pretty good now. As for money, it may not be a good thing." If this woman is as rich as before, would she have to find a few more pet servants?
"Then you are quite satisfied," Tao Yu said hilariously, "But you don't think about it. You will have to take the exam in the future. Just a little money, what can we do? If it really doesn't work, why don't I find you a brother-in-law and let him raise it..."
As soon as she said that, Yue Linze stood up and looked at her with a gloomy face. "What do you mean? Do you want to get married?"
"...I'm just kidding, why are you so angry?" Tao Yu was speechless, always feeling that his temper came too quickly. As expected, the rebellious period was just a recurring thing.
Yue Linze didn't think she was joking. In his opinion, all the jokes were casual words without careful consideration, but often represented the person's true thoughts. So Tao Yu really had the idea of getting married?
"No!" Tao Yu knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw him standing there with his neck tampered, and impatiently dragged the person down, pressed him back to the stool and sat down, "What are you thinking about in your head? I've said nothing, why don't you believe me?"
"You swear." Yue Linze's face was cold, but his words were a bit childish.
Tao Yu had no choice but to see that he was really angry, so he had to raise three fingers, "I swear, I, Tao Yu, will never get married in this life, otherwise..."
Halfway through her words, Yue Linze covered her mouth with one hand. Tao Yu whined twice, looking at him unhappy and puzzled.
The palm of his hand was a soft touch, holding his heart all the time, and a hint of unnaturalness appeared on Yue Linze's face, but he insisted on saying, "If you change the oath, it's not that you can't get married, but that's the one who married. If Yue Linze agrees, if Yue Linze opposes, he will never marry."
He is still fine, how could she never get married in her life? It’s just that the person she wants to get married must be his consent, and the person he can agree to is only himself in this world.
Tao Yu rolled his eyes and nodded helplessly. Yue Linze then let go of his hand and stared at her seriously, as if waiting for her to speak.
Tao Yu raised his finger again, "I swear that if I get married one day in the future, I must find someone that Yue Linze likes. If he doesn't agree, then I will definitely not marry. Is that okay?"
Her words fell into Yue Linze's ears, as if she had heard some oath. A thin layer of redness flew out from Yue Linze's face, and he nodded with his lips.
Seeing that he was willing to give up, Tao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and refused to say more to him. After all, he was a person who talked too much and was unrestrained. Who knew when he accidentally got into trouble with this innocent young man, and then he would have to apologize again.
Yue Linze was thinking about something else, but he didn't take the initiative to talk to him for a while. The two sat in front of the ground pot and quietly burned the fire. Soon a large pot of hot water was boiled.
Tao Yu directed Yue Linze to take her to the room, thought about it before closing the door, and repeatedly reminded him, "I want to take a shower. If you have something to knock on the door, don't push the door directly, do you hear it?"
"Okay, it's enough to say this kind of thing once." Yue Linze looked at her impatiently, turned around and returned to his room decisively. Tao Yu sneered and then closed the door.
The water on her body had just been dried, but she still felt uncomfortable. She took off her clothes and jumped into the water. Tao Yu sighed comfortably.
Yue Linze, who was only a wall from her, heard her voice and the corners of his mouth slowly rose. From the first day he moved in, he found that the walls here seemed to be useless, and a little sound from the next door would be heard quickly. At that time, he deliberately relaxed his movements when he was in the room, so Tao Yu has not noticed this situation until now.
He quietly pressed against the wall. Although the sound of water was not very good, he occasionally heard other movements and knew what Tao Yu was doing now. When a slight shock came from the wall, Yue Linze curled the corners of his lips, knowing that she had finished washing and was lying on the bed that was only a wall from him.
Yue Linze also lay down, his back tightly against the wall, as if this would make him closer to her.
It would be great if there was no such wall... If not, there would be no barrier between the two of them at this moment. Tao Yu was so unhonest when he was sleeping, maybe he would turn over and get into his arms, and he could hold her and feel whether it was as fragrant as he imagined...
As soon as this thought arose, Yue Linze's throat tightened and his body became hot. Then, as if he had some guidance, he buried himself in the quilt. After a long time, he breathed out and breathed out. The thin face showed a sense of pleasure and panic.
When he was in Xinghualou, he had not eaten much full meal for many years and had lost a lot of money than his peers. Therefore, he had no normal physiological phenomena when he grew to 14 or 15 years old. However, he had disliked this kind of thing before, so he didn't take it seriously.
Later, he followed Tao Yu to this small town and began to go to the academy with others. He accidentally heard those despicable prodigal sons talking about this, and then he realized that men of his age should have done this for a long time, but unfortunately he didn't.
Since then, he has kept this in mind. Although he feels that revenge is not necessary, he is inexplicably worried. Now he has finally grown up completely inadvertently.
But I didn't know that the wolf cub next door was because of Tao Yu, who had grown up, turned over comfortably with his eyes closed, causing him to fall into a darker and sweeter dream.
Ten days later, Yue Linze was qualified for the exam with the first place in the academy.
Although the town is a small place, the academies here are well-known. The first twenty first place in the previous grades were all the top three in the scientific examinations that year. Therefore, everyone knows what Yue Linze's first place means now.
Such a young young man with no background but talent is the son-in-law who is needed by the noble family. So before Tao Yu could help Yue Linze celebrate, he was crossed by many matchmakers.
After seeing off the last matchmaker, Tao Yu took a few sips of water to moisten his throat. When she turned around, she saw Yue Linze standing there with an unexpected expression. She waved to him and smiled when she saw him coming, "When did you start eavesdropping?" If she hadn't eavesdropped, it would be impossible that she had just sent the person away and came out.
"No." Yue Linze looked at her and said unhappily.
Tao Yu was a little puzzled, "Why are you angry? Do you think these people are too noisy?"
"No," Yue Linze paused after saying that, and then said in a deep voice, "Why do you want them to come in?"
"It's all neighbors, so it's hard to drive them out. Besides, they're also telling you to kiss you. I'm a sister, so it's not a good idea to drive people out like this." Tao Yu smiled.
Yue Linze's heart became even more angry. He angrily said, "What, are you planning to find a marriage for me?"
"...I don't have this idea," he asked this question, which made Tao Yu stunned for a moment. After Tao Yu finished speaking honestly, he was afraid that he would feel that he had delayed him, so he quickly explained, "I just think you are too young now and are not suitable to talk about this. I will talk about this when you grow up."
Yue Linze was not so angry after hearing this, but after thinking about it, he was still a little dissatisfied. "I am not young, many of them are as old as me, and many of them have even children. Don't treat me as a child."
"Then what you mean is, do you want to get married?" Tao Yu's focus was successfully deviated. "Then you said it earlier, but it's not too late now. Fortunately, I didn't refuse anyone before, and there was room for negotiation. However, I didn't listen carefully to the situation of the girls in each family. I'm afraid I have to call people back to talk about it."
Yue Linze looked at her depressedly and said coldly, "I already have someone I like. If someone calls me a matchmaker in the future, you will just refuse it."
Tao Yu was stunned immediately, and there was a faint shock in his eyes when he looked at him.
Yue Linze was talking casually, but after seeing her reaction, a little hope suddenly rose in his heart, "You... don't you want me to have a lover?"
"... No, I'm just curious. We're often together, and I haven't heard you talk about any girl. Why do you suddenly say that you have a lover now? Did you fool me?" Tao Yu realized his disobedience and immediately became a little embarrassed.
Seeing her anxiously explaining, the secret hope that rose in her heart was shattered again, and he lowered his eyes and said, "What am I fooling you?"
"... Then who do you like and when will it happen? Let me tell me." Tao Yu felt completely complicated when he saw him affirming again.
Yue Linze looked at her and said calmly, "I can't tell you who she is, but I can say that she is the best woman in this world. Although she doesn't know my intentions yet, I won't marry her in this life."
"...You are still a secret love." Tao Yu said reluctantly. After saying that, he felt that his tone was strange, and he quickly raised his tone. "But you are so good, she will definitely like you too. Our family is now home and we are afraid of being disliked when we come to propose marriage. Do you have to study hard? When you have fame, we will come to visit us again."
By then, Yue Linze had the ability to stay with him. I believe that the first thing he had to do was to go to Xinghua Tower to take revenge. When the revenge was avenged, the hostility in his heart would disappear. Then the whole world would disappear. Then, see how he would come to propose marriage!
That girl is the best girl in the world, she is the best, so what is she? Tao Yu smiled on her face, but she was angry in her heart. She silently scolded the little ungrateful woman before she could relieve her anger.
He looked depressed and said, "I'll tell you what to do." After that, he turned around and left.
