Tao Zhi felt that his move was perfect.
Afraid that Tao Xiuping would not believe it, she struck while the iron was hot, propping up the door of the cupboard to do two more, and said solemnly: "It's too tiring to do it lying on the floor, I can't stand it up, and it's said on Weibo that it can also exercise the muscles of the upper arm. There are also video tutorials."
Tao Xiuping was still stunned. He felt that the strange performance art of children nowadays was incomprehensible, so he nodded dubiously: "Okay, there is nothing else to be unhappy about?"
Tao Zhi shook his head like a rattle: "No, how can I be unhappy."
Tao Xiuping continued to nod, and he glanced away, pointing to the coat that Jiang Qihuai had just put on on the sofa.
Tao Zhi followed his line of sight to look over, his heart skipped a beat.
After all the calculations, he forgot to hide Jiang Qihuai's coat.
She didn't think of this when he took off his coat. She didn't feel anything at first, but when she realized that she was in a puppy love, she felt guilty.
She held on tightly to the cabinet door, wanting to get the coat, but she was afraid that Jiang Qihuai would fall out of it if she let go of her hand.
"Hang up the coat," Tao Xiuping didn't linger on it too much, "Your room was tidied up today, why are your clothes still lying around?"
Tao Zhi nodded abruptly and remained motionless.
Tao Xiuping looked at her with some amusement: "Okay, don't hold on to your closet door. How about being your father's housekeeper? Come down for dinner later, huh?"
"..."
Tao Zhi dryly responded.
Tao Xiuping walked out of the bedroom and closed the door smoothly.
Tao Zhi pricked up her ears and listened quietly for a while, until the faint footsteps disappeared, she let out a long sigh of relief, slipped her arms down, and opened the door of the large wardrobe.
The closet smelled of laundry detergent and jasmine aromatherapy. Rows of long skirts and coats were hanging on the upper rails. Jiang Qihuai sat on the folded trousers, surrounded by plush toys. In the pile of sweaters.
He leaned back into the arms of a brown teddy bear, with the sweater she just threw in this morning on his left hand, a pair of sweatpants wrapped around his legs, Peter Rabbit in his arms, and a pile of snacks at hand.
Hearing the closet door being opened, Jiang Qihuai raised his head, his eyes immersed in the darkness of the closet met the light outside, narrowed his eyes slightly, got used to it, and asked, "Is this your secret base?"
Tao Zhi: "..."
Jiang Qihuai squeezed the rabbit's ears in his arms and threw them aside, then picked up a bag of potato chips at hand, the yellow packaging bag made a clicking sound, Jiang Qihuai slipped the bag of potato chips in front of his eyes, stared at After a moment, say unhurriedly: "Do you like to eat in the closet?"
Tao Zhi looked down at him expressionlessly, raised his arm, and slammed the closet door shut again.
She walked to the bed, then sat down, almost throwing herself into the bed.
You always have to pay back when you come out to hang out.
Tao Zhi didn't know what was the use of tidying this room up early today.
There was a slight sound from the closet, Jiang Qihuai got out of the closet, took off the sweater on his head and hung it back again, then squatted in front of the closet, and took all the plush toys and snacks inside Pick it out.
There are a lot of them, there are more than a dozen dolls alone, there are a lot of snacks, and there are some small rags like hand-made figures in the corner of the wardrobe.
Jiang Qihuai turned his head and looked at the girl on the bed: "Do you have a bag?"
Tao Zhi buried his head in the pillow and refused to raise his head, his legs were dangling from side to side of the bed reluctantly shaking.
Meaning no.
As a scavenger, he still has to do it in the end.
With a stretch of his long arms, Jiang Qihuai swept out all the rags under her cupboard, looked around, walked to the side of the chest of drawers by the bed and placed them neatly on the top of the chest, and then from the corner Pull out a small, squashed cloth storage basket, throw the snacks in and put it in the corner.
Then, he walked to the bed with his arms full of plush toys, and looked down at the girl lying on the bed.
Jiang Qihuai placed the dolls in his hand on her body one by one.
There was a rabbit on her head, a bear on her back, and smaller ones on her legs. A dozen or so were placed neatly all over her body.
Even though the plush toys are very light in weight, Tao Zhi still feels a little stuffy when laid out like a tablecloth.
She turned over, and the doll fell off her body, lying beside her in a circle.
Tao Zhi lay in the pile of dolls, feeling that since she got to know Jiang Qihuai, her persona might have collapsed into pieces.
She closed her eyes peacefully: "Just treat me as dead."
Jiang Qihuai stood by the bed and said leisurely: "My girlfriend made me a widow after a week of puppy love."
"Don't wait for me," Tao Zhi said wearily, waving his hands, "If you meet a good girl, marry her. Don't waste your wonderful youth on a dying person like me."
Jiang Qihuai seemed to be thinking about her proposal very seriously, he paused and said, "That's fine."
"Fuck!" Tao Zhi opened his eyes with a "swish", jumped up from the pile of dolls, picked up a small kangaroo and threw it over, glaring at him: "I knew it, you are not Heart."
Jiang Qihuai grabbed the little doll that was heading straight for his face, and threw it back on the bed: "Get up after cheating, go down to eat, and come back to read your math paper that you can't even write with your feet."
Tao Zhi reluctantly stood up, thought of something, then turned his head: "Have you had your lunch yet?"
"No."
Tao Zhi nodded, walked to the desk and sat down: "Then I won't eat for now."
She patted the chair next to her: "Sit?"
Jiang Qihuai walked over and sat down next to her. This chair was probably the chair Jiang Hesheng had been sitting on when he was giving her extra lessons. In front of him was the paper he had just finished grading.
Jiang Qihuai lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on it, he frowned, a little annoyed.
He raised his hand and swept all the papers aside, drew a new one, and pushed it to her: "Do it."
Tao Zhi blinked: "Did you stop talking about that just now?"
"Your tutor told you, why should I join in the fun?" Jiang Qihuai said without emotion.
Tao Zhi nodded, and said "Oh" obediently.
The two people really have different methods and styles. It would not be good if Jiang Hesheng knew that the homework he assigned to her had someone else do it, as if she didn't trust his level very much.
Tao Zhi picked up a pen and worked on the questions honestly.
When she was doing the paper, Jiang Qihuai had nothing to do, so he picked up an English composition book on the table and read it.
When he pulled it out, he felt a little familiar.
The book was probably often read by people, and the corners were already a little worn out, with a little rough edges from friction. Jiang Qihuai opened the cover and glanced at the title page.
A black gel pen wrote a word in the blank space.
-Jiang.
Jiang Qihuai paused.
After Tao Zhi finished a question, he raised his eyes and saw him staring blankly at the book.
She followed his gaze, her eyelids twitched, she dropped the pen in an instant, stretched out her hand, and covered the word with her palm.
Jiang Qihuai raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows.
Secretly hiding other people's books was discovered by the person concerned, Tao Zhi looked away uncomfortably, and muttered: "I'll give you a copy that is exactly the same."
Jiang Qihuai remained silent.
At that time, she was secretly hiding.
But it's different now, she can own it openly.
Tao Zhi pursed her lips, slowly grabbed the edge of the book and took the composition document out of Jiang Qihuai's hand, and spread it out in front of her eyes.
She picked up the pen, thought for a while, and began to write on the title page.
Their handwriting styles are very different. After Tao Zhi finished writing, he held up the book to appreciate it, and then pushed it in front of him as if offering a treasure.
Jiang Qihuai lowered his eyes.
There was only one word "Jiang" on the title page, but she just added three more characters in front.
— Zhizhi’s, Jiang
Jiang Qihuai rolled his Adam's apple, raised his eyes, and his eyes sank deeply.
Tao Zhi looked at him with her head propped up, her eyes curled up: "I've finished reading this book too," she said imitating what he said before, "If you want, I can give it to you."
Pointing to the word "Zhizhi" at the front of the title page, she lowered her voice suddenly and softly, and whispered, "This one belongs to you too."
Jiang Qihuai stayed until the afternoon.
Basically, the whole afternoon, the two of them were doing the papers of various subjects. After Tao Zhi finished writing one, Jiang Qihuai would explain one to her, without being distracted to think about other things.
After several hours of mind spinning continuously, Tao Zhi finally started to feel hungry. She put down her pen and rubbed her eyes, then leaned back on the chair and stretched.
Downstairs was quiet, Tao Zhi secretly pushed open the bedroom door, took a look down the handrail, and there was no one in the living room.
Tao Zhi waved his hand towards Jiang Qihuai, and whispered, "No one is here."
Jiang Qihuai picked up his coat and was about to go out when Tao Zhi stopped him.
Tao Zhi looked at him suspiciously: "Why are you going?"
Jiang Qihuai was also puzzled: "I'll go back."
"Are you going back without eating?" Tao Zhi pulled the coat in his hand, stood at the door and threw it on the sofa far away, "Every time I go to your house, Grandpa Jiang will cook so many delicious food for me , I can't let you go home hungry, just wait."
Jiang Qihuai looked at Tao Zhi, who was half-casually bent, scanning both sides of the corridor vigilantly, while sneaking away from Tao Zhi: "What are you doing?"
"Keep your voice down, what if you get caught?" Tao Zhi glared at him dissatisfied, and whispered, "I'll go downstairs and steal some food for you."
Jiang Qihuai: "..."
She did use the word steal.
Jiang Qihuai didn't know why she acted like a burglar in her own home, and he didn't know why he came here today.
What did he do? This afternoon, apart from giving her lectures, making papers, and using them as paperwork, he seemed to have done nothing.
Very pure and positive puppy love communication.
Standing at the door, he watched Tao Zhi go downstairs almost silently and slipped into the kitchen with his vigorous and agile movements. After a while, he brought two buckets of instant noodles.
Tao Zhi quickly returned to the bedroom, closed the door, held a bucket of instant noodles in one hand, and respectfully asked his preference: "Do you want seafood or braised beef?"
Jiang Qihuai sighed: "Do you have ribs?"
"Yes, but you have to steal it now," Tao Zhi said seriously. "The risk is very high. You can choose one of the two and make do with it."
Jiang Qihuai reluctantly made do with it, and chose braised beef noodles.
Tao Zhi packed up the papers on the desk and put them in the noodle bucket. After the two of them finished eating, Tao Zhi also poured the remaining noodle soup into the toilet to destroy the corpse.
Jiang Qihuai felt that this little girl was acting a little bit over the top, and was already deeply immersed in the "puppy love blocked by her parents" and couldn't extricate herself.
He patiently cooperated with her.
The winter light is getting shorter and the two barrels of instant noodles are finished, and the sky is almost starting to darken. Jiang Qihuai thought about staying like this, and he would have to continue playing with Tao Zhi for a dinner time.
He got up and picked up his coat again, ready to go.
Putting the coat on his arm, he paused: "Uncle thought it was your coat?"
Tao Zhi waved his hand nonchalantly: "He might not even be sure what grade I will go to this year, so how could he know what coat I have?"
They walked to the entrance, Jiang Qihuai was about to put on his shoes.
Tao Zhi looked at the shoes he had placed so openly beside the shoe cabinet, and suddenly stopped.
Ji Fan's shoes are the same as his personality, almost all of them are very gaudy and bright colors, with all kinds of exaggerated accessories on them, Jiang Qihuai's clean white sneakers look very out of place.
I'm afraid someone with a good brain would not think that these shoes are Ji Fan's.
Jiang Qihuai probably thought of her together, he also paused, and said in a low voice, "Where are the shoes?"
"..."
Tao Zhi raised his head and looked at him with a pale face.
The lights on the first floor were not turned on, only one was lit in the entrance, the light was dim, Jiang Qihuai turned his head to look at her, the corners of his lips were slightly curled up, and the corners of his eyes were raised.
"Think about it," he comforted her without sympathy. "Uncle might think that your feet are size 43."
Tao Zhi: "..."
