Tao Zhi jumped off the bus, stood at the bus stop, and walked along the street.
At night, the bus brushed her and continued to drive forward. On both sides of the street, there was a 24-hour convenience store with lights on, illuminating the dim road.
When she got good grades in the past, she didn't remember much at first, but she might still get praise, but slowly, it seemed to become a matter of course.
On the contrary, if Ji Fan occasionally passes an exam, Ji Jin will be very happy.
No one told Tao Zhi that as long as he worked hard, even if he didn't get any grades, he could still be rewarded.
For her, everything in reality tells her that the result is always more important than the process.
Tao Zhi never thought that one day he would get a different answer from Jiang Qihuai.
I never thought that one day, she would get a little bit of affirmation because of this kind of thing and in this way.
Her heart was still throbbing in her chest, she stretched out her hand and patted her chest lightly, as if she was comforting a flustered little monster.
Jiang Qihuai just followed her words that "kindergarten teachers will teach children the importance of hard work", she didn't know what to do.
It's just that at that moment, at that moment, when he was looked at by his pair of glass-like eyes, his heart beat very fast.
The cold wind came to cool down the feverish mind, Tao Zhi took a deep breath, raised his hand and rubbed his cheeks again, the corners of his lips raised uncontrollably little by little.
She was humming a song, bouncing home in a good mood.
When he entered the house, Ji Fan was sitting cross-legged on the living room carpet with his mobile phone in his arms, calling 110 to call the police.
The door lock jingled, Tao Zhi opened the door and walked in, and heard Ji Fan's serious and solemn voice: "Yes, yes, sixteen years old, girl, she has been missing for four or five hours since school ended, I suspect it was assassinated."
"Why are you scaring yourself? It's definitely not the police uncle. She usually has an annoying personality and has made a lot of enemies."
Tao Zhi stepped on the slippers, stretched his neck and glanced into the living room.
Ji Fan's voice paused, and he looked straight at her: "I'm sorry, Uncle Policeman, I'm back, there was a misunderstanding, I'm sorry to trouble you, I wish you success in your career."
Ji Fan hung up the phone, threw the phone aside, and looked at Tao Zhi expressionlessly.
Tao Zhi also looked at him blankly: "What are you doing?"
"Call the police," Ji Fan said, "Call the police uncle and tell them that my sister has disappeared. It has been four or five hours. I don't know if she is still alive."
Tao Zhi: "...?"
"During the period, wechat did not respond to QQ and did not respond, and the phone was turned off when I called." Ji Fan continued.
The boy looked at her with a straight face, but his voice was quite calm.
"Then my phone was confiscated by Wang Er before it was confiscated, so I kept turning it off." Tao Zhi didn't bother to share his knowledge with him. He threw his schoolbag on the other side of the sofa and raised his hand to drink the coconut milk on the coffee table. I told Uncle Gu about it, I went to study with my classmates, and I will return later by myself."
"I know," Ji Fanren slammed into the sofa, "Uncle Gu said it was a boy."
Tao Zhi paused for a moment when he opened the tab of the can.
Ji Fan got up again and approached her, looking at her warily: "Did you make a new boyfriend again?"
Tao Zhi took a sip of coconut juice and almost splashed it out of his mouth.
"What does it mean to have a new boyfriend?" Tao Zhi raised his finger, poked the boy's forehead back, and poked him back on the sofa again, "I really went to study, you think I look like you ? There are piles of flowers and plants around you if you don’t do business.”
"It's not that I've transferred schools, it's also that I've lost everything." Ji Fan struggled to get up again, suddenly looked at her seriously and said, "Zhizhi, don't like men anymore, men don't have a good thing."
Tao Zhi: "..."
Tao Zhi didn't know why her younger brother suddenly went crazy.
"The best man I've ever met in my childhood is Comrade Tao, isn't that why I separated from my mother?" Ji Fan said casually, "There is always something more important than love in a man's heart."
This is the first time Ji Fan mentioned this matter.
He moved back for a week and never asked Tao Xiuping, nor did Tao Zhi mention Ji Jin.
There is probably still a little bit of telepathy between the twins, although the tacit understanding between her and Ji Fan has been appallingly low since she was a child, the boy glanced at her and said: "Mom is doing well now, she said she has been a little busy recently , take some time to see you in a few days."
Come see you in a few days.
It's like saying polite words to a relative's child.
Tao Zhi shrank his fingers holding the coconut juice jar, then put the coconut milk on the coffee table, got up with downcast eyes, and picked up his schoolbag: "I'm sleepy, I got up too early today," Tao Zhi yawned lazily. Said, "Go to bed early, you don't have nothing to do to torture the police, you are called a false police report, you will be arrested and educated."
Ji Fan lay on the sofa and made faces at her with big movements. Tao Zhi pretended not to notice, went upstairs to the bedroom, and closed the door.
She threw her schoolbag on the ground casually, walked to and then walked to the small sofa at the end of the bed, and lay down on it in a large size.
She didn't feel much when she was tossing outside before, but now she was lying down quietly by herself, so she felt tired.
Tao Zhi felt that his day was really full of twists and turns.
Holding the pillow, she took out her phone, clicked on it, and admired the half a million Happy Beans she had acquired again, then clicked on WeChat and sent a message to Jiang Qihuai.
[Zhizhi Grape]: Didi.
[Beautiful girl carrying the handle Jiang Qihuai]: 1
Tao Zhi raised his arms high, watching the phone screen light up for a while, and then turn off.
She threw the phone aside, turned over, and buried her head in the back of the soft sofa.
Inexplicably, the mood seems to be a little better than before.
Tao Zhi was woken up by the alarm.
The sound of soft music came faintly from under her body. Tao Zhi half-closed his eyes, stretched out his hand to touch it in a daze for a long time, pulled out the phone from under his buttocks, and turned off the alarm clock.
Throwing the phone aside, she turned over and planned to continue sleeping.
The early morning of the weekend was quiet, Tao Zhi's throat was a little sore from sleep, and her whole body was sore. She raised her arms and lifted herself up, only to realize that she had just slept on the sofa without a quilt all night.
Didn't even change clothes.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up. After a while, she walked into the bathroom barefoot.
The cold marble floor eased her drowsiness. She took a shower, changed into a set of home clothes, and walked downstairs a little top-heavy.
Aunt Zhang is cleaning with a vacuum cleaner. She usually sleeps in on weekends. She hasn't made breakfast yet. Seeing her come down, Aunt Zhang is a little surprised: "The branches are rising so early."
Tao Zhi said "hmm", her voice was hoarse and scary, and Aunt Zhang hurried over: "What's wrong with Zhizhi, do you have a cold?"
"It seems a bit." Tao Zhi said in a nasal voice.
"Then Auntie will cook porridge for you later, and you can take some medicine after eating.
She nodded, sniffed, went to the kitchen and took out a carton of milk from the refrigerator, poured it into a glass and stuffed it into the microwave.
While waiting for the milk, Ji Fan staggered downstairs.
The boy went into the kitchen with black eye circles to pour water, looking very energetic: "Why do you get up so early?"
Tao Zhi glanced at him, his throat was so sore that he didn't want to speak.
Ji Fan looked at her curiously: "You are so mentally weak, have you been playing games all night?"
The microwave oven turned on with a "ding dong", Tao Zhi turned around, and went upstairs with the milk.
Ji Fan was completely ignored. He yawned and looked at Aunt Zhang who walked into the kitchen next to him: "What's the matter with her?"
"I have a cold," Aunt Zhang said as she washed the pot. "I'll cook some porridge later and make some granules for her. Let's eat something light these days."
Ji Fan nodded and raised his hand: "I'll give it to her."
Tao Zhi was ill for several days.
I thought it was just because of the change of seasons that I caught a cold one night without covering the quilt, but I developed a high fever the next night.
Uncle Gu took people to the hospital overnight, and then he found a family doctor to hang up the bottle, and the fever subsided.
She rested at home for a few days, and Ji Fan became her dog for a few days.
In the bedroom, Tao Zhi huddled under the quilt and looked at the bowl of porridge on the small tray with distaste: "It's too hot."
Ji Fan scooped up a spoon and blew on her.
"It's cold," Tao Zhi said disgustedly, "Why don't you put it in the refrigerator and give it to me?"
Ji Fan: "..."
"I only have eight words in my mind now—bear humiliation and bear the burden, repay grievance with virtue." Ji Fan put down the spoon and said, "Do you still remember when I had a high fever when I was young, how did you treat me?"
Tao Zhi said with a hoarse voice, "I take good care of you?"
"You are afraid that I will infect you and you put on five masks for me." Ji Fan said while scooping up the porridge, "I almost suffocated the young master to death."
"..."
Tao Zhi wanted to laugh: "I was young at that time, didn't you ask for leave for me at school?"
"Please," Ji Fan said, "Wang Jizi still didn't believe me, so he called Lao Tao to confirm, this school is too perverted, why does it even care about those who don't study, Wang Er can't catch you now and start Come to torture me, let me go to the blackboard to do questions every day."
Ji Fan sighed sadly: "How are you doing these two days, come back quickly and help me share the firepower."
Tao Zhi didn't speak, just looked at him.
While talking nonsense, the boy carefully stirred the porridge with a spoon, his eyelashes drooped after the steaming mist, and he looked unusually quiet.
"Ji Fan." Tao Zhi called him suddenly.
Ji Fan didn't look up: "Huh?"
Tao Zhi asked him, "Will you leave this time when you come back?"
Ji Fan was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and smiled mockingly: "Who knows, am I right?"
"Don't go," Tao Zhi said in a low voice with half of his face huddled under the quilt, "Sister wants to watch us Ah Fan grow up."
She had never said such a thing before, and the tip of the boy's ears turned red instantly. He put the porridge bowl in his hand on the tray, and looked away unnaturally: "If you are only a few minutes older than me, don't pretend My lord, hurry up and drink your porridge! Otherwise, I will really put it in the refrigerator for you!"
Tao Zhi lay down at home for a few more days before he recovered, and went to school with Ji Fan on Friday.
The first monthly exam in Experiment 1 took place in the last two days before the November holiday, and Tao Zhi missed a week of classes. When he went to school again, the monthly exam seat chart was already out.
The examination room is divided according to the results of the final exam of the last semester. The students in class one are basically in the first few exam rooms. Tao Zhi almost fell asleep in the exam last semester. In the last exam room, Jiang Qihuai and Ji Fan are transfer students. , no grades, in the same examination room as her.
In the whole class, there were only three people in the last examination room, and it seemed a little out of place with the environment where such good students gathered together.
Li Shuangjiang opened his arms as soon as he saw her: "Boss! Long time no see, you've become pretty again."
Tao Zhi raised his hand and patted him on the back.
Li Shuangjiang was photographed so that he took a step forward, covered his chest and coughed: "Our boss is still so energetic, I don't worry, you don't know what kind of brother Fan you have been tortured by Wang's Shuangsha this week .”
Sitting behind him, Ji Fan waved his hands weakly: "My mother is tortured at school and will go home to be tortured by this patient. Our family Zhizhi is a princess when she has a fever. She has to go to heaven to pick stars for her." come down."
Hearing this, Li Shuangjiang ran to the last row to hug Ji Fan and give him a heartwarming comfort from a good brother.
Li Shuangjiang: "Brother Fan, you are the real man."
Ji Fan: "Old Li, you still understand me."
The two boys hugged affectionately there, and a large natural freezer sat next to them, without even looking at it, releasing air-conditioning without any influence.
Tao Zhi glanced at him.
The last conversation between her and Jiang Qihuai was still on the succinct "1" last time. She was not idle when she was at home, and they had a lively chat with Li Shuangjiang and Fu Xiling in the Pretty Girls Justice League. I didn't see this person say a word in it.
Li Shuangjiang hugged Ji Fan and felt disgusted for a while, finally let go, and asked Jiang Qihuai: "By the way, Brother Huai, are you not coming for the monthly exam tomorrow?"
Jiang Qihuai responded, "Yes."
Tao Zhi was stunned for a moment: "Can you still skip the exam so openly?"
"Brother Huai is going to the competition. There is a conflict of time. Wang Juezi said to let him come to school at night to make up the morning exam alone, it seems." Li Shuangjiang said.
Tao Zhi couldn't believe it.
There will be people who can skip the exam but can't, and have to come to make up the exam at night.
Just have to act like this.
This is also a kind of cultivation of a master.
Because Ji Fan had never fought Jiang Qihuai hundreds of years ago, he would become very narrow-minded when encountering him. To ridicule someone: "You think that everyone is the same as you. If you can get 300 points in the test, you don't take the 310. You have to fight for a point, understand?"
Tao Zhi rolled his eyes: "If you can pass the exam openly, will you escape?"
"One size fits one size," Ji Fan said with a matter-of-fact expression, "Of course I ran away."
Tao Zhi: "..."
After the division of arts and sciences, the monthly exams only take up one day. In the morning, there are Chinese and English exams, and in the afternoon, there are math and science exams. The exam time is a little later than the usual school arrival time, starting at 8 o'clock.
Tao Zhi and Ji Fan arrived in the classroom early, and the atmosphere of the last examination room was similar to any school. Ji Fan was tortured for half a month in a difficult environment in the first class, and finally returned to the familiar environment. We chatted in full swing.
Tao Zhi searched around according to the seat number. Her seat was in the middle of the penultimate row. A few people behind her was Ji Fan. The table behind Ji Fan was empty, so it should be Jiang Qihuai's seat.
Before the exam time, half of the seats in the classroom were empty, and many people hadn't come yet.
One of the invigilators was sitting in front playing with his mobile phone, and the other hadn't arrived yet. Tao Zhi took out a gel pen and a marker pen from his empty schoolbag, and took out another blank paper.
The invigilator looked up and said in a low voice: "Students who have arrived, please don't make any noise, hand in your mobile phone, the boy behind, stop chattering, I've been watching you jumping up and down all morning, you're a social butterfly ?”
Tao Zhi took out her phone from her school uniform pocket and opened it. She was about to turn it off, but after thinking about it, she clicked on WeChat first, intending to send some precious blessings to someone who had rewarded her.
[Zhizhi Grape]: I'm afraid that yesterday's blessing was too early, and I was afraid that the encouragement from the class bell was too late, because the invigilator will confiscate the mobile phone, so when that moment is approaching, I will send you the most sincere blessings, I wish you The competition results of the golden rooster are independent and stand out from the crowd.
Jiang Qihuai's side probably hadn't started yet, Tao Zhi's phone vibrated within two minutes.
[Beautiful girl carrying the handle Jiang Qihuai]: Look at the idioms you use, and then worry about your own Chinese test.
Still so mean.
Tao Zhi curled his lips and continued typing.
[Zhizhi Grape]: Worry about yourself, Your Highness, of course, the palace has been prepared.
She typed out a line and sent it out, thinking of the oolong caused by this title before, her head went blank, and she didn't know what she was guilty of, so she quickly explained it.
[Zhizhi Grape]: I mean my lord princess, and that's what princesses call themselves! I hope your thoughts are not so superficial.
She just wanted to help him popularize science by the way, but the title Your Highness also means His Royal Highness Princess. Her previous matter about Concubine Li Shu was just a distraction.
In fact, we are good half sisters.
I absolutely did not hide any other unreasonable thoughts.
Well, it makes sense.
Tao Zhi tapped the phone screen with her fingertips to turn it on. Just as she was about to continue typing, the phone vibrated slightly in her hand, interrupting her movement.
Tao Zhi moved his gaze upwards, looking.
[Beautiful girl carrying the handle Jiang Qihuai]: Well, do well in the exam, my lord princess.
