Chapter 43

Tao Zhi's bulging cheeks were scattered all over the place, and he didn't react.

She originally thought she was straightforward enough, but she didn't expect that Jiang Qihuai was even more sloppy than her and asked straight to the point.

Although she has been quite obvious recently.

But his questioning was caught off guard by a bit of a sudden.

Tao Zhi held his breath, raised his head with his lowered bow and looked at him under the street light.

The next second, she was like a cat just now running away from the corner, almost running away on the spot, then took two steps back, leaning against the cold wall, and looking at him with dark eyes wide open.

It's almost exactly the same as the cat who escaped after being frightened.

Tao Zhi is not a question like "Do you want to be my girlfriend?", but "Do you like me?"

She can have two answers in the question.

If she said she liked it, Jiang Qihuai also had two answers.

I like you too. Or, I don’t like you, please don’t cause trouble to me and don’t continue to like me.

Tao Zhi had probably had such a bias in her mind. Which of these two answers has a higher chance of winning, but she didn't particularly want to admit that she would be rejected.

But Tao Zhi was unwilling to let her deny that she liked him.

At least now, she likes this person very much. Even if she just talks about lyingly, Tao Zhi doesn't want to deny this fact.

If you like it, you like it.

She frowned and looked at him, racked her brains and thought for a long time before she spoke with some difficulty: "It's hard to say."

“…”

Jiang Qihuai's voice was calm: "Why can't you say?"

"That's right, it's hard to say," Tao Zhi pressed his finger against the wall, and hesitated, "I have to consider it, I'll give you a reply in a few days."

Jiang Qihuai: "..."

A question was instantly turned against her. She was suppressed by her and was retorted by her. Jiang Qihuai was angry and wanted to laugh. He slowly walked forward without hesitation: "Do you like me or not, do you still have to consider it?"

Tao Zhi looked at him and licked his lips nervously.

He took another step forward: "You only started to think about it if I ask you?"

The alley was narrow, two or three people wide, Tao Zhi was close to the wall, watching him walk over step by step, and her deep shadow surrounded her.

Jiang Qihuai surrounded her between the wall and the body, leaned her upper body down, looked at her with his head down, and his breath instantly surrounded her: "What are you here for today? Show me off your senior tutor to me?"

The warm breath of the boy was in sharp contrast with the cold outdoor air. With a distance of a few feet, his voice fell in her ears, and the warm breath swelled on the ears. Tao Zhi's breathing was a little messy, his fingertips were numb, and his brain began to short-circuit.

no.

I want to have a hug.

Tao Zhi lowered his eyelids, his heart beating quickly and quickly, and the sound was so loud that she felt that it was already pounding in her ears. She suddenly moved and took a small step forward.

Jiang Qihuai was still leaning over and leaning over. Tao Zhi suddenly raised his arm and surrounded his neck and came up.

Her soft body was pressed against her coat, and she pressed her forehead against his shoulders and gently hugged him.

The tip of her nose was surrounded by the sweet smell of shampoo between her hair.

The river rises and the Huai River is in its original place.

Tao Zhi rubbed his head, buried it on his shoulder, and whispered: "I'll do this."

After she finished speaking, she instantly let go of her arms and stretched the distance again, and jumped out along the gap between him and the wall, running out without looking back.

There is a dim end of the alley and a brightly lit night at the other end.

Her back looked out of the darkness, like the midnight bell sounding, and she ran away quickly against the light in a panic.

Jiang Qihuai stood for a long time until Tao Zhi's shadow completely disappeared from sight.

He raised his arms and covered his fingers naked. The back of his neck exposed outside the coat, and gently rubbed his fingertips.

Her fingers were just around the corner, her fingertips were cold, and they were soft and penetrated through the skin and the remaining body.

-

When Tao Zhi escaped home, she had just had dinner at home. Tao Xiuping sat on the sofa holding a notebook to process work emails, while Ji Fan lay on the sofa holding a comic book.

Tao Zhi picked up the bag, took off his coat and threw it beside him, and walked into the living room with slippers. When he raised his eyes, he saw the father and son looking at her together.

Ji Fan's eyes were exposed from the comics, Tao Xiuping lowered his head slightly, and his gaze was seen from above the golden wire-framed glasses.

Ji Fan: "Where have you been?"

Tao Xiuping: "Don't you come back for dinner?"

“…”

Tao Zhi scratched his nose with some guilt and said casually: "I'll go find Yu to eat it in time."

"Oh, that's all right." Ji Fan felt relieved and continued reading the comics.

Tao Xiuping could tell at a glance that she was talking nonsense, and didn't say anything, but pushed her glasses and continued to work.

Tao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and threw his schoolbag on the sofa, sat down next to Ji Fan, and drew out the exercise book.

She bent her legs and stepped on the sofa, and put the exercise book on her legs to read.

Tao Xiuping was typing, without looking up, and asked casually: "What's the name of the little boy you like?"

Ji Fan looked at the comic book with his eyes, turned the page, and said lazily: "Little beast."

Tao Zhi raised his hand and slapped him in the head.

Ji Fan let out a "ah" and covered his head: "Jiang Qihuai! It's OK."

Tao Xiuping agreed: "Secret Jiang? His name is good."

"The main reason is that my father's surname is good," Ji Fan said with a lip of his lips, "Look at the one in our family, he has a name for fruit."

Tao Zhi's pen was reminded by him, and when he was reminded of what happened in the kitchen this afternoon.

Jiang Qihuai is allergic to peaches.

Then her surname was Tao.

It was as if the two of them were destined to be so compatible.

Why does her surname must be Tao?

Can't she have the surname Li, Xing, and Grape?

Tao Zhi frowned, a little unhappy. She raised her head and looked at Tao Xiuping: "Dad."

Tao Xiuping raised his head: "Hmm?"

"I don't want to call him Tao Zhi anymore." Tao Zhi looked at him and said seriously.

"What do you want to call me?" Tao Xiuping also respected her wish and asked, "Tao Xiaozhi? Tao Meimei? Why don't you call him Tao Dapang, you were quite fat when you were a child."

"Whatever you call is not important, you can call it whatever you want," Tao Zhi sighed a little melancholy, "I mainly don't want my surname Tao."

Tao Xiuping nodded: "You mainly don't want your surname Tao. I think you want to go to heaven."

"You can have Ji's surname, and your name is Ji Shangtian," said Ji Fan, "Let's isolate Lao Tao."

"Okay, you two, you two never end, right?" Tao Xiuping looked at him and looked at Tao Zhi again, "Tell me, why do you suddenly don't want to call this name? Does anyone say your name is bad?"

"No one said that," Tao Zhi didn't want to admit that she was so naive, "I just suddenly didn't want the surname Tao."

"She just suddenly wanted to go to heaven." Ji Fan said enthusiastically.

Tao Zhi grabbed a sofa cushion and pressed it on his face.

Ji Fan struggled to pull the cushion off.

Tao Xiuping put the laptop next to him, leaned over and picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took a sip: "Our princess has had many wonderful ideas recently."

"This is how a girl in unrequited love is, there is no way." Ji Fan said, holding the cushion.

Tao Xiuping sighed: "In two days, my dad will not be the most handsome man in the world."

Ji Fan: "After a while, I will start turning my elbows outward."

"A woman is not a big one." Tao Xiuping said.

"You can't even keep it." Ji Fan said leisurely.

“…”

Tao Zhi didn't want to listen to the two of them singing and performing together here, and her mind was in a mess and she couldn't do the questions. She carried the exercise book and went back to the room.

The bedroom was quiet, Tao Zhi stood beside the bed with the exercise book in his arms, then fell forward straight, and fell on the bed with a muffled sound.

Her head was buried in the quilt and rubbed it against the corner of the quilt.

Tao Zhi suddenly felt a little regretful. He was too timid before and missed a great opportunity to show love to Jiang Qihuai.
