Peach Branch Bubbles

Tao Zhi didn't stay with Jiang Qihuai for too long.

After she learned about those things, she just wanted to see him, watch him, and tell him that she would always be here.

When people saw it, Tao Zhi hesitated and felt that there was no need to tell him these things. She didn't want to bring any unnecessary and useless pressure to Jiang Qihuai.

She just pretended that she didn't know anything.

Tao Xiuping's reaction was within her comprehensible range.

Tao Zhi has a lot of confidence that he can convince Tao Xiuping, after all, since childhood, no matter what it is, Tao Xiuping will almost follow her thoughts and acquiesce in any decision she makes.

She wore Jiang Qihuai's coat and went home. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Ji Fan jumping back and forth repeatedly at the gate of the community, bouncing everywhere.

She closed the car door, and Ji Fan just raised her head.

The young man frowned and looked impatient: "Why is it so slow after waiting for you for a long time."

Tao Zhi glanced at him: "Why did you come out?"

"Dad asked me to come out to find you. He wanted to come out by himself, but he didn't want to fight with you again today because of this." Ji Fan glanced back and forth at her coat that obviously didn't belong to her, raising his eyebrows. "Secretly informed?"

Tao Zhi raised his eyebrows: "Why didn't I follow you when I was so afraid of telling the news?"

Ji Fan waved his hand and walked to the community: "I am not interested in making light bulbs, although I probably know where his house is, just where you suddenly got off the car during the last sports meeting, right?"

Tao Zhi paused: "Does Dad know that too?"

"...Lao Tao is not a fool," Ji Fan sighed. "He just took out Jiang Qihuai Laoder. The details are just like the job resume and life. Do you know this little thing, and The house seems to be rented too. His family has no money to buy a house in the Imperial Capital."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Tao Zhi.

The girl looked indifferent, and Ji Fan continued: "Anyway, you think, as long as our family has the money to buy it."

"It's probably going to be a protracted battle with Old Man Tao," Tao Zhi finished, and suddenly tugged Ji Fan's neck down, and asked uneasy: "Ji Xiaofan, just in case, I'll still ask. , Are you on my side?"

Ji Fan was dragged down by her and bowed, and said honestly: "To be honest, I plan to stand on Dad's side."

Tao Zhi grinned and strangled his neck: "You again! Say it again!"

Ji Fan coughed twice, and struggling to drill down: "I'm telling the truth! Although I don't deal with Jiang Qihuai for some reason, but fair and objectively speaking, he is indeed good. If his family is just Be poor, then I don’t think it’s okay for you to talk to him. It’s forced to work like this, and the conditions will not be bad in the future."

"But after reading those things today, I actually don't support it anymore," Ji Fan broke free from her clutches, rarely being a little more serious, looking at Tao Zhi and said, "Lao Tao's thoughts are a bit cruel. A little selfish, but there are reasons for him. To put it bluntly, how capable is our family? It's just an ordinary family with relatively better conditions. You said Jiang Qihuai, the scumbag who suffered a thousand swords, Can Lao Tao regain his power or let him evaporate silently from the world? I can't do it. Isn't it not acting in a TV series, and let him disappear from the world within ten? This is impossible."

Tao Zhi lowered his eyes and said nothing, Ji Fan continued: "So the only thing Old Tao can do now is to protect you as much as possible and keep you away from such uncertain factors. Jiang Qihuai is innocent and a victim. , But everyone’s first consideration will not be the children of other people’s families, but only their own relatives. This is human nature."

"The child I love when he grows up likes the son of an old murderer, think about it, can you support it if you replace it? He just respects your ideas no matter how selfless, replace this kind of thing with anything It's impossible for a parent to accept it."

"Also, Lao Tao was originally a rationalist, don't you know that for so many years."

Ji Fan's voice suddenly lowered: "He liked his mom so much. Back then, his mom and career. He didn't choose a career in the end. For him, love is not a necessity in life. You expect this to be replaced by the protagonist. With you, can he suddenly change his mind?"

impossible.

Tao Zhi couldn't think of a rebuttal.

What Ji Fan was talking about was the fact that Tao Zhi’s temperament had a personality, and he would go ahead regardless of what he had spotted. This character was completely inherited from Tao Xiuping. Ji Jin used to jokingly said before that that the boys in the family are not like their father, but the girls are.

Whether it was firmness or stubbornness, since a decision was made anyway, Tao Zhi had to cut a path in the mountain even if there was a mountain in front of him.

Tao Zhi had already decided to fight with Tao Xiuping for reasons, and he typed the draft three thousand times in his heart, but Tao Xiuping didn't come to her to talk about it.

What should he do as if nothing happened, Tao Zhi was a little disturbed instead.

After racking my brains, I couldn't think of what other magic tricks the old agent was brewing.

She simply put aside the matter for the time being and devoted all her energy to the exam.

At the beginning of January, the exam came out.

The overall test paper this time is a bit more difficult than last time. Tao Zhi's total score is still unchanged at 580, but his ranking during the school year was slightly raised by a dozen.

Before the exam, she was obviously too anxious, as if every exam was a battlefield, and every battle she had to rush to prove something, but now Tao Zhi suddenly calmed down again.

Compared with some things, the results are really the simplest and the most honest and magnanimous thing.

It will give you as much as you give it back, fair and calm, unlike everything else.

In this world, you have worked so hard, but you still can't see any rewards and light. There are so many things.

Jiang Qihuai has been struggling with such facts unbelievingly, day after day.

Tao Zhi's nose suddenly became sour, she turned her head and looked at the young man sitting at the back table.

Jiang Qihuai raised his head when he noticed her turning around.

Tao Zhi propped his head and looked at him quietly, not knowing what he was thinking, a little distracted.

Jiang Qihuai closed the test paper.

A slight noise made Tao Zhi come back to his senses. After a brief daze, she showed a smiling face, lowered her body, lying on his desk lazily, looking at him.

Jiang Qihuai was stared at by her for a while before asking, "What to look at."

"Look at my handsome and handsome first boyfriend." Tao Zhi said openly.

"..."

Ji Fan couldn't stand this blatant show of affection. He rolled his eyes, held a knife in his hand, hung over his neck, and wiped his neck.

Tao Zhi completely regarded him as non-existent. She stretched out her hand from under the table, surreptitiously and concealedly tapping on his knee with her fingertips.

Jiang Qihuai also stretched out his hand.

Everyone in the classroom is discussing the results that have just come out. Because Li Shuangjiang painted the wrong answer sheet twice because of sloppy, he was roaring and rushing in the aisle between the two rows of tables. The little movement under the table was almost non-existent. People pay attention.

Tao Zhi fumbled, and slowly grabbed his finger.

She held his fingertips and squeezed lightly, then blinked at him.

Jiang Qihuai pursed his lips.

During this period of time, even though Tao Zhi had tried his best to make himself look the same as usual, the girl was obviously quieter than before.

No longer the way she was tossing and tossing before, more often, she just watched him for a while.

Jiang Qihuai's anxiety spread little by little.

He is actually a very selfish person, probably by nature or instinct. Since childhood, he doesn't seem to have the quality of "kindness", no matter what the situation, as long as he and Jiang Qinghe are not involved, he can stand by with cold eyes.

And Tao Zhi, even if he knew this was wrong, even if she had seen such a scene, he still didn't dare to tell her anything.

Jiang Qinghe is his relative, his family, and a bond of blood, but Tao Zhi is not.

Since she can approach, she can also choose to leave.

A little sinful and gloomy mentality is at work. Jiang Qihuai does not have the confidence. Tao Zhizai knows everything. After knowing that he and the **** mess behind him, he is willing to be like this again. , Smiled at him.

He has very few things, so even if it is a little bit possible, he doesn't want to take this risk.

He wanted to be a little selfish one last time, desperately trying to hold on to the light that squeezed in through the crack.

Tao Xiuping didn't just stop asking about it on the surface. After that night, he not only didn't mention it, he didn't even restrict Tao Zhi in his actions, except for the access control at night.

Tao Zhi tried to tell him about this several times, but he couldn't speak up.

Speaking of it, there is a high probability that it will be opposed.

But if you don't talk about it, it's buried there like a bomb. I don't know if it will explode when the lead is pulled.

On Saturday night, the tutor dismissed get out of class, she sent a message to Jiang Qihuai in advance.

He also had a tutor on Saturday, and it was late to go back. Tao Xiuping was not home that night, and Ji Fan also had a meal with his friends from the attached high school. No one was watching, Tao Zhi couldn't be idle alone. She was going to Jiangqihuai's house to accompany Grandpa Jiang to dinner.

The old man stays at home alone during the day, Jiang Qihuai is a boring gourd with that kind of personality, and no one is chatting with him and is boring.

She greeted Aunt Zhang, picked out a brightly colored coat, and took a taxi.

When I got off the bus, Grandpa Jiang hadn't started cooking at this point. Tao Zhi ran to the small supermarket next to him and bought some beef and fruit. He carried a bag and turned into the small alley.

There is a very different gap between Jiang Qi’s Huai’s house and the scenery near Tao Zhi’s house. The buildings are not high, five or six storeys, and every few stores on the street have a long two-person wide alley. .

Crystal ice ballast hung on the wall, and old bicycles and cardboard boxes piled high were covered with thick snow and buried underneath.

Tao Zhi walked through the long alley into the downstairs of the community, and heard a sparse noise in front of him.

She walked around the bicycle shed probe and saw two figures in front of her.

The gray-haired old man fell and curled up on the snow, and another person next to him was squatting in front of him.

At first glance Tao Zhi seemed to think that someone had fallen and another person was helping, until she recognized that the old man was Grandpa Jiang.

And the other squatting next to him was the previous man in a black down jacket. The man was swearing and swearing in his mouth, and his frozen hands kept rummaging inside and out of the old man's body.

Tao Zhi almost subconsciously took a small step back.

The soles of the shoes made a slight "crunch" sound when they stepped on the fluffy snow, and the man instantly turned his head, his eyes gloomy under the street lamp.

It's different from the usual fights in school, and it's completely different from the little troubles that cause trouble. Tao Zhi realized this in an instant.

In front of him was an adult criminal. In his eyes, Tao Zhi could not even feel anything called human nature, only crazy and paranoid desires.

She seemed to be frozen in place, her blood coagulated, and her teeth trembled uncontrollably.

She put her hand in her pocket calmly, her fingers shaking so hard that she could barely touch the phone in her pocket.

Jiang Zhi looked at her with interest, and for a few seconds, he recognized her: "Are you the little girl last time?"

Tao Zhi bit his lip fiercely, trying to make his voice sound calmer: "I have called the police and the police are coming. You will leave now."

"Oh," Jiang Zhi sneered, and said coldly, "I'm afraid to die."

"You can just say what you want," she tried to delay a little bit as much as possible. "There is no need to hurt people."

"What does it have to do with you when I deal with housework? Little girl, don't be okay and try to be a hero."

In the snow, Jiang Qinghe let out a very weak, painful groan, he was holding on to the ground to get up, struggling very weakly.

Jiang Zhi turned his head back again. He put his knees against the old man's arms to restrict his movement, and covered his mouth with his hands, his voice hoarse: "You old immortal, it's not over if you don't die!"

Jiang Qinghe bit his hand in one bite.

The man let out a painful scream: "Ah—"

In the dim environment, Tao Zhi could not see his movements clearly, and could only hear the muffled noise of the down jacket colliding with his flesh.

Jiang Qinghe turned his head laboriously, and Tao Zhi saw his eyes clearly the moment his eyes met her.

He was crying.

Grandpa Jiang, who is gentle and kind, can cook delicious chicken wings for her, laughs as she speaks, likes to read books, and also likes to play chess.

He is the most precious person in Jiang Qihuai's life.

Tao Zhi bit her teeth hard, and she didn't care about delaying time. She ran over almost without thinking through her brain.

The two bags in her hand were thrown on the ground, and she rushed straight over, kicked the man away with the greatest strength, and then ran to the old man, struggling to help him to move forward.

Jiang Zhi was unprepared and was kicked to the ground by her. He fell into the snowdrift, struggling to stand up with a series of swear words in his mouth. Tao Zhi couldn't afford the weight of two people alone. She fell to the ground and watched the man approaching step by step.

He looked at her condescendingly: "I'm only looking for this old man. I don't want to cause trouble. Don't bother me and get out of it."

Tao Zhi tightly hugged Jiang Qinghe, threw himself on top of him, shielded him under him, and stared at him motionlessly.

Jiang Zhi gave a "tsk," he seemed to suddenly become irritable, his whole body began to lose control, he raised his foot and said viciously: "How do you look in your eyes with that dead child——"

Tao Zhi closed his eyes.

"It's exactly the same—"

The sharp and heavy pain hit the back and the back of the head with the curse, her arm was being pulled, but she didn't let go, like a solid wall, stubbornly blocking the old man motionless.

The fruits in the bag were all spilled out, big and bright strawberries were crushed, the juice mixed into the snow, and the snow was dyed into small pieces of light red.

The sweet smell of blood spread in his mouth like rust, Tao Zhi gritted his teeth, counting the time every minute.

At a certain moment, she vaguely heard the messy footsteps coming from the hutong, the sound of police sirens coming from far and near, the man's lost reason seemed to suddenly return to the cage, he backed two steps, and then ran out hurriedly.

Shouting, struggling, police sirens, footsteps, and all the messy sounds were all mixed together. Tao Zhi raised his head laboriously and saw someone running towards her.

The man moved her very gently, carefully hugged her, the familiar breath enveloped him, Tao Zhi sniffed, his fingers gripped his sleeve tightly, and said anxiously: "Grandpa, grandpa..."

"Grandpa's okay," the boy was hoarse, breathing a little bit quickly, his warm palms pressed against her face, and his fingertips trembled uncontrollably, "Branches are all right."

Tao Zhi relaxed and let out a long breath. She smiled, and the corners of her mouth twitched, her ears tingled with pain, "I've said that, I will protect you."

She said quietly and softly: "A Huai and those who are important to A Huai, I will protect them."
