Jiang Qihuai found out that Tao Zhi had a thick skin on WeChat.
He leaned back in the chair and stared at the few lines on the phone with downcast eyes. Through the screen, he could imagine the expression of this fat man now.
Jiang Qihuai felt that he couldn't just spoil her like this.
He pinched the edge of the phone with his fingertips and turned it around, then grabbed it back, paused for a few seconds, and typed: [Only photos?]
Tao Zhi replied in seconds: [?]
Jiang Qihuai continued: [No face to face.]
Tao Zhi: [? ?]
Jiang Qihuai typed slowly: [I'll go there after get off work at night.]
[Zhizhi Grape]:? ?
[Zhizhi Grape]: Brother, I’m at home now, you should shake me.
Jiang Qihuai reacted, her home should be the Tao family's old house.
He glanced at her reply with "bow your head and admit your mistake" in her tone, put the phone on the table, and continued the meeting.
Tao Zhi originally just wanted to flirt with Jiang Qihuai, and waited for him to be mean or silent before teasing him, but he didn't expect that this person would just follow the lower limit she threw out, and there was a plum in his mouth. The sugar almost choked his throat.
She threw the phone on the bed, buttoned the small box of candy in her arms and put it aside, turned over and lay flat on the bed, thinking about picking up Jiang Qihuai from work on Monday.
There are some things that she would rather tell him in person than on WeChat.
As a result, the planned things were not implemented, not only Jiang Qihuai was busy, but Tao Zhi himself continued to be busy.
The cover photo of "SINGO" was a bit more grueling than she imagined.
I don't know if the tin foil is hot because of Jiang Qihuai's light, and his attitude is finally not so annoying. Tao Zhi is quite happy to cooperate with him. She combined the theme of the March issue with the cover model's makeup and hair style. Several photos of different angles and poses tried various post-processing, but I always felt that something was missing.
The cover photos of business magazines are different from other ones. Tao Zhi’s photos submitted to participate in various international photography competitions and exhibitions focus on the content and skills, and the vividness and moments recorded in the photos themselves. What business magazines need is The strong sense of impact that makes people unable to take their eyes off at the first glance must have an extremely aggressive tension that instantly dims all the magazines of the same type placed next to it.
The two are busy with their own business, and they haven't been able to see each other for nearly a week.
On Thursday night, Tao Zhi finally adjusted the most satisfactory post-production effects and sent out all the films.
She slid back the chair, stretched her arms high, yawned again, slumped in the chair for a while, and then picked up the phone to check the time.
Jiang Qihuai has been working overtime every day recently. Tao Zhi watched Lin Suyan's circle of friends yelling at Lin Suyan every day that financial migrant workers are not as good as dogs, and even took screenshots to show Jiang Qihuai.
Probably all the colleagues and bosses were blocked, but Tao Zhi was the only one who forgot.
Seeing that it was still early, Tao Zhi sat on the seat and turned around in a daze for a while, then slowly grabbed the car keys and went out.
At this moment, the evening rush hour has already started, Tao Zhi moved to Ruisheng's office building with the snake-like traffic flow, and an hour later, she parked in the underground parking lot. Send a message.
As a result, when he looked up, he happened to see him coming out of the elevator in front.
Tao Zhi let out a "huh" and tapped the horn twice.
Jiang Qihuai turned his head and saw her car and her little head poking out the window to look at him.
He walked over from a distance, went to the car window and raised his hand, put his index finger against her forehead and pressed her head into the car: "Why are you here?"
"Why do you leave work so early?" Tao Zhi said.
Jiang Qihuai glanced at her, but said nothing.
Tao Zhi looked at him with a smile: "Oh, do you miss me and plan to get off work early to find me?"
Jiang Qihuai's figure obviously froze for a moment, but there was no expression on his face, he paused and said, "Shall I drive?"
"No need," Tao Zhi was not distracted by his lame interruption at all, she continued, "Look, I'll come to you as soon as you think of me, isn't that what happens in the legendary sympathy?"
Jiang Qihuai laughed, walked around the front of the car and got on the co-pilot, pulled the seat belt and buckled it to death, watching her start the car.
Tao Zhi's driving skills are not very good.
It's not that she's unskilled, but she's very unsteady when she drives a car. She always likes to play some heavy metal rock BGM. When she listens to it, she can't help shaking, and people can't help shaking. Even if she shook her hands, she even shook the steering wheel.
Fu Xiling once sat in her car for an hour, and retched for ten minutes after getting out of the car.
Jiang Qihuai seemed to be someone who had seen the world, even if Tao Zhi drove the car into a snake shape, he would still be calm and calm, he didn't even ask her where she was going, just sat there obediently, whatever Let her run forward.
Tao Zhi threw off the steering wheel and got on the overhead, the traffic lined up in a row and crawled forward slowly, she turned her head to the side: "Why don't you ask me where I'm taking you?"
Jiang Qihuai raised his eyes and said flatly: "I can't sell it anymore."
"..."
Tao Zhi suddenly marveled at his sharpness.
She followed the car in front of her to a stop, turned her head, blinked twice, looked at him and called out: "Boyfriend."
Jiang Qihuai raised his head when he heard the address.
"Meet a parent?" Tao Zhi continued.
Jiang Qihuai looked at her, his expression still calm, as if there was no reaction, only his eyelashes trembled slightly.
He subconsciously licked his lower lip, and asked slowly, "Now?"
Tao Zhi nodded and said, "Let's do it now. I originally wanted to discuss it with you first, ask your thoughts, and then say hello to my dad and set a date."
Tao Zhi paused, and continued: "But I suddenly felt that it was unnecessary. It was just a family meeting for a meal, and I didn't want to be so fussy."
Jiang Qihuai's heart seemed to be gently touched by someone.
"I haven't prepared anything." He whispered.
Tao Zhi thought that he wanted to bring something, at least some fruit, so he nodded and said, "Then let's go back to the supermarket and buy something later."
The car drove to the area of Tao's old house. Jiang Qihuai took tutoring classes here for half a year when he was in high school, and he is familiar with this area.
The two first went to the nearest large supermarket to park the car, and then went upstairs.
The supermarket on the third floor has everything you need, such as fresh snacks, daily necessities, etc. Jiang Qihuai pushed the car and followed behind, watching Tao Zhi frantically put into the shopping cart on the grounds that it was "the first time I came to buy something" Throw away snacks.
She lost a lot of things like chocolate jelly and fudge, and she likes yogurt with high sweetness. She only took two packs of potato chips, and she ate very little puffed food.
As the new year is approaching, boxes of beautifully packaged New Year gift boxes are neatly stacked on the central shelf of the supermarket. Jiang Qihuai puts a few into the car, thinking that he will bring some formally when he visits next time. Things go by.
Tao Zhi walked over with a bag of caramel biscuits in his arms, and when he threw it into the car, he secretly glanced at his expression, and whispered, "Is this too sudden?"
"Huh?" Jiang Qihuai's gaze was still on the gift box on the shelf, "Why all of a sudden."
"That's right, I didn't say hello to you in advance," Tao Zhi said, "If you don't like it, or feel that you need to prepare, you can do it next time. I just had a sudden whim today, and I didn't plan it at all."
After she finished speaking, Jiang Qihuai turned his head and glanced at her: "This is not allowed."
Tao Zhi was stunned: "Why not?"
"On a whim," Jiang Qihuai raised his eyelids, looked at her, and said softly, "Is it the same for me?"
It took Tao Zhi a few seconds to realize the meaning of his words, she raised her head and said quickly: "Of course not, I mean taking you home today on a whim, if I treat you —”
Halfway through the explanation, she saw the man's silently curved lips and realized that she had been tricked.
Tao Zhi shut up instantly, rolled his big eyes at him, didn't bother to talk to him, and strode forward with his hands waved.
Jiang Qihuai saw that the teasing made her a little furious, he laughed, and pushed the car behind her.
The two of them bought a cart full of things. When they were queuing up to check out, Tao Zhi casually flipped through the contents of the cart and glanced at the top two rows of items on the next shelf.
When I went to the supermarket before, I saw this thing dozens of times and didn't feel anything. I don't know what went wrong this time. Tao Zhi felt a little embarrassed for no reason.
She hastily and inexplicably looked away guiltily, and just as she turned her head to the side, someone lightly scratched the top of her hair.
Tao Zhi froze for an instant, as if she had been caught for doing something wrong, she subconsciously shrank her shoulders slightly.
Jiang Qihuai's palm rested on her head, and his voice came from above: "I don't like it very much."
"..."
What do you like ah you! Don't like it, I didn't watch anything!
Tao Zhi panicked even more.
Jiang Qihuai continued: "But this time I really didn't prepare, I can only make up the next time I visit the door."
Tao Zhi was startled for a moment, then raised his face in a daze, raised his chin and looked at him from below.
Jiang Qihuai lowered his eyes, spoke calmly, and his voice was very low: "Zhizhi is willing to take me back, I am very happy."
When Tao Zhi led Jiang Qihuai home, Tao Xiuping was doing swan arms in the living room following the video on TV.
Both of them entered the door with their hands full, and saw Tao Xiuping standing on the yoga mat with his back facing the entrance, with his arms raised and stretched, watching the TV in front of him.
The magnetic female voice on the TV was gentle and gentle: "Adjust your breathing and move to my rhythm. Come on, let's say together—1234, 2234."
Tao Xiuping took a deep breath: "12... 34..."
Tao Zhi: "..."
Jiang Qihuai: "..."
Tao Zhi put the bag in his hand on the ground, walked over and tilted his head to look at him: "Dad, what are you doing?"
Tao Xiuping turned his head when he heard the voice, a little surprised: "Hey, why are you back? I thought it was Xiaofan."
As he spoke, he glanced back and saw Jiang Qihuai standing behind him.
Tao Xiuping almost choked on the saliva in his throat.
He still maintains the posture of standing on the yoga mat with one leg like a red-crowned crane, with his arms raised high and spreading his wings, and his balance, which was already a little stretched, was completely affected by the unexpected situation. Tao Xiuping landed on the other foot and almost didn't stand stable.
But he adjusted his expression in an instant.
After all, Tao Xiuping is the gene provider of Tao Xiaohua in the market. Tao Xiuping is handsome and has worked hard in the mall for so many years.
He looked at Jiang Qihuai calmly, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Jiang is here?"
Jiang Qihuai nodded: "Excuse me."
The woman in the video on the TV is still stretching her arm 1234, and Tao Xiuping didn't turn it off, as if it's a very normal and common thing for an old man in his forties to do swan arms at home when he has nothing to do.
He even looked at Jiang Qihuai nonchalantly, pointed to the TV and asked him, "Have you done this?"
"No." Jiang Qihuai said calmly.
Tao Zhi suddenly had a bad premonition, she took a step forward: "Father—"
Tao Xiuping looked over, the father and daughter did not speak, and had several rounds of dialogue with their eyes.
—Why did you suddenly bring people back without telling me
— Then who knew that you would fix these things at home by yourself every day
— Then who knew you brought someone back today
—You might as well continue watching variety shows like you usually do.
Tao Xiuping turned his head, refusing to make eye contact with Tao Zhi.
Then, he waved to Jiang Qihuai and said, "No, it's okay, it's simple, just follow the TV."
He seemed to have made up his mind not to embarrass himself alone tonight, and to drag Jiang Qihuai, the culprit, into the water. He looked at him kindly and said, "Come on, uncle will teach you."
Jiang Qihuai: "..."
