Peach Branch Bubbles

Tao Zhi hesitated for three seconds between "pretend not to hear and leave without seeing him turn around" and "turn around and face the pain". He felt that the former was slightly deliberate and more embarrassing.

She stood still against the glass window for two seconds, and then turned her head back frame by frame. She even felt her body was so stiff that she could hear the "click" sound of her bones as she turned.

Tao Zhi turned his head and looked at Jiang Qihuai, with a smirk: "Come on?"

Jiang Qihuai looked at her with no emotion.

Tao Zhi maintained his smile and forced the corners of his stiff mouth, raised his arm, patted his shoulder twice, and said naturally: "Do it well, ah."

"..."

Jiang Qihuai thought she was the owner of this convenience store.

Tao Zhi subconsciously wanted to slip away. All the loneliness and impulses just above were completely scared by him. She didn't know what she hadn't fully understood, right? Find someone, look at him and decide what to do.

It's all because he looked so good when he changed her composition.

It's all his fault.

Tao Zhi thought a little furiously.

Before she moved her feet, Jiang Qihuai walked over to an old man.

The old man was in his sixties and looked very energetic. He looked at her with a smile and smiled, and asked, "This is a classmate?"

Jiang Qihuai let out an "um".

Tao Zhi reacted and hurriedly said hello to the old man: "Hello, Grandpa."

"Hey, hello," the old man looked at her kindly and said, "Are you here to play with Ahuai?"

"..."

No, I just came to see his work progress.

Grandpa Jiang's words caused Tao Zhi to be in a dilemma again. After thinking about it, she nodded slowly.

Seeing her nodding, Grandpa Jiang seemed very happy: "Come and have fun, Ahuai has also made friends in the new school."

Tao Zhi glanced at Jiang Qihuai subconsciously.

The boy lowered his eyes, his cold breath disappeared, and he looked very quiet.

I don't know if it is an illusion. When standing next to the old man, he will give people a feeling of converging the sharp shell and becoming soft.

The lone wolf became a little golden retriever.

Tao Zhi is a little strange. She is used to pleasing old people. She smiled and said, "Grandpa, Jiang Qihuai is very popular in school, and everyone likes to play with him."

In the morning when self-study copy homework.

Grandpa Jiang was even more happy: "Ahuai has a good temper and has been likable since he was a child."

"..."

Tao Zhi didn't know what to say for a while, she couldn't associate Jiang Qihuai with the words "good temperament" and "pleasing".

Jiang Qihuai raised his eyes, and he knew what she was thinking as soon as he saw her expression that was difficult to explain. He sighed, "It's windy outside, let's go back first."

Grandpa Jiang nodded, then looked at Tao Zhi: "Did the little girl have dinner tonight?"

"not yet."

Grandpa Jiang: "Let's go, go up and have a meal and then play with him. Grandpa will cook for you."

Tao Zhi: "Huh? Ah..."

Ah? ? ?

Jiang Qihuai’s family lives on this street. Turning into a small alley from the convenience store, the old-fashioned residential building has vermilion paint on the walls, and the cement ladder is covered with small advertisements, and the storey is slightly lower. The corridor is narrow and cramped.

His house is the last one on the third floor. Tao Zhi stood at the door watching Jiang Qihuai open the door with the key, and walked in at the end, but he still didn't realize why things had developed like this.

Jiang Qihuai stood at the door and turned on the light.

The ceiling lamp in the living room is warm yellow, the living room is small and you can see the head at a glance.

Tao Zhi only glanced, then didn't look at it randomly, and obediently lowered his head to change his shoes.

She went in and took off her coat without leaving it littered. She folded it and set it aside, and then sat on the sofa with her hands on her knees.

Like an honest pupil.

Grandpa Jiang washed his hands and asked her if she had any diet, and then went into the kitchen.

Jiang Qihuai followed in behind and poured a glass of water for her.

Tao Zhi took over and said "thank you" in a low voice.

The water was warm, dispelling the coldness just standing outside, Tao Zhi sipped his glass and took a sip, and secretly glanced in the direction of the kitchen.

The door was not closed, Jiang Qihuai was standing in front of the sink, washing the vegetables with his hands hanging down, and then took out a piece of red meat from the refrigerator.

He closed the refrigerator door and looked out.

Tao Zhi quickly retracted his head and looked down at the water in his glass.

There were voices from time to time in the kitchen.

Tao Zhi hesitated, put down the cup, walked to the door and poked his head: "Do you want me to help?"

Jiang Qihuai pulled out the cutting board and was cutting vegetables: "Go back and sit down."

"You also go out, such a big man occupies the ground," Grandpa Jiang drove him reluctantly, "People came to play with you. Today, the old man will show you his hand. Don't be here to steal my limelight."

Tao Zhi let out a laugh.

Helpless, Jiang Qihuai put down the things in his hands and washed his hands out of the kitchen.

Tao Zhi leaned against the wall and looked at him with a smile.

"What are you laughing about."

"It's nothing," Tao Zhi still smiled, "I just didn't expect that His Highness, who we usually drag to the sky, is a good baby at home."

Jiang Qihuai couldn't hold back a "hiss" sound, raised his hand and knocked her on the head, and walked inside.

Tao Zhi clutched his head and followed him: "Why do you always knock on my head! You will knock stupidly!"

"I hit gophers."

Tao Zhi became unhappy, and followed him silently making faces with teeth and claws.

Jiang Qihuai suddenly turned his head.

Tao Zhi immediately stopped moving, his expression stretched, and he looked at him calmly.

Jiang Qihuai silently curled the corner of his lips, walked to the bedroom door, opened the door and gave way to the side.

The bedroom belongs to a relatively private place. Tao Zhi stood at the door, hesitated for a moment, did not go in: "Can I go in?"

"Do you still want me to invite you?"

"Is it impossible?" Tao Zhi said seriously.

Jiang Qihuai ignored her and went straight in.

Tao Zhi followed him in.

The space in his bedroom is not large. There is a bed by the window, a desk at the head of the bed, and a wardrobe by the wall. On the opposite wall stood a huge bookshelf full of books.

Compared with Tao Zhi's full of tattered bedrooms, his room looks neat, clean and unremarkable.

The only bright spot is the full of photos on the wall next to the desk.

Tao Zhi didn't expect Jiang Qihuai to have such a side.

She said touchedly: "I didn't expect that the indifferent and lonely young man of our Highness would also have such a delicate and fragile heart of a young literary and artistic youth."

"Don't get sick." Jiang Qihuai walked to the table, rummaged through the piles of papers and books piled on the table, then took out a copy and handed it to her.

"What's this?" Tao Zhi took it over and took a look.

"Wang Qianxiong 365 Series-English Composition Collection"

Tao Zhi: "..."

Tao Zhi raised his head, looking at him as if he was looking at a devil in hell: "I come to your house to play, you make me a collection of essays?"

"Do you still have time to play?"

"..."

alright.

Tao Zhi walked to the desk and sat down, and opened his selection of essays.

Jiang Qihuai left the bedroom.

Tao Zhi couldn't stand it. When she thought of sitting in front of Jiang Qihuai's desk and staying in his bedroom, she felt itchy in her heart. She pretended to turn over two pages, put the book on the table, and stood. stand up.

She walked to his small wall with pictures.

The photos he chose are a bit strange. Half of the puzzle, the remote control of the toy car, the tabby cat lying on the fence and sleeping in the sun in the small alley.

In the photo with a light background, you can see a few small words written with a black pen in the lower left corner. You can see it only when you look closely. She didn't look at it. She always felt that this was his secret.

A row of night sky is posted at the bottom.

Tao Zhi recognized the photo taken on the Ferris wheel the last time they went to the amusement park.

At that time, Fu Xiling posted a bunch of more than a dozen photos in the group, including the one that was secretly photographed of her.

Jiang Qihuai only picked one and posted it. Through the glass windows of the Ferris wheel cabin, a grand and splendid ceremony was held in the sky. In the clear night, a large bright flower bloomed, and the night sky was stained with dazzling spots of light and sparks. shine.

Other than that, there is nothing else in the lens.

He didn't choose the one with her.

Tao Zhi lowered his eyelashes and pursed his lips.

Although this was a matter of course, although she expected it, she still felt a little bored when she confirmed that this person did not like her.

It seemed that a tiny thorn pierced the tip of the heart lightly. It was not obvious or even fleeting, but the tiny little pain spread in the body, making people sad from head to toe.

She really has nothing to like about him.

His character is not cute, his grades are not good, he looks okay, but he looks so good, probably in this world, appearance is the thing he doesn't care about the least.

Other than that, she didn't have anything that could make him admire.

Tao Zhi walked back to the desk again, opened the chair and sat down, looking down at the English composition book lying in front of him.

Letters passed by before her eyes, but she suddenly didn't recognize them. It was as if Jiang Qihuai was standing tall in front of her, looking at her coldly, mocking her overpowering.

The bedroom door was pushed open, and when Jiang Qihuai walked in, he saw the girl lying on the table, flipping through the book in front of him.

Hearing the sound, she raised her eyes lazily and glanced at him.

There was still a little chill on the boy. He probably had just left the house. Tao Zhi did not ask, but he withdrew his gaze and continued in a daze.

A small plate of strawberries was placed on the desk in front of me.

Tao Zhi was stunned.

The bright red strawberries are placed in a transparent glass compote, with transparent drops of water hanging on them. They are full and bright red. You can feel the sweet and sour juice spilling in your mouth just by looking at it.

She likes strawberries very much, and she often buys strawberry-flavored candies and milk in school.

She blinked and raised her head: "Did you go out to buy strawberries?"

Jiang Qihuai let out a "huh", sitting on the bedside and pulling a book casually, glanced at the composition in her hand: "It's been ten minutes, or this one?"

Tao Zhi didn't pay attention to what he said, only felt that the small wooden thorn that had just been pierced in his heart suddenly took root, and then slowly grew a small, tender green bud, and then trembled.

The sadness that made people feel bored just now slowly dissipated little by little.

She put down the book, pinched a strawberry and bit it into her mouth.

Cold sweetness.

She ate two of them, but did not eat any more. She pushed in his direction against the plate, and continued to read.

There was a bright table lamp in the bedroom, and the two people leaned together under the lamp to read each book. They didn't speak for a while, and the atmosphere in the bedroom was quiet and quiet.

Tao Zhi was a little sleepy after reading the two essays and the review paragraph by paragraph. She propped her head and yawned, and secretly looked up at him.

She took his place, so he sat on the edge of the bed with his long legs stretched forward, his eyes lowered, and he looked at what was in his hands intently.

Sure enough, it's still pretty.

He just looks good.

It's especially beautiful when you focus on doing things.

Tao Zhi retracted his gaze and thought silently.

The small print on his photo is his secret, and she now has a secret of her own, a person.

It's as if two people have one more thing in common.

This recognition made Tao Zhi happy again.

After a while, Jiang Qihuai and Yu Guang didn't even see her taking strawberries again.

He looked up: "Not delicious?"

Tao Zhi lay on the table, "Um", and realized what he was saying.

She glanced at the beautiful plate of strawberries and reluctantly said: "It's delicious."

Jiang Qihuai thought it was because she was about to have dinner or something.

"But this is very expensive," Tao Zhi raised his head, looking at him with dark black eyes, his eyelashes raised softly, and said slowly, "I want to keep it for you."
