Tao Qing's cooking skills were beyond Qi Yan's expectations. The fried sweet and sour pork was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and paired with the sweet and sour sauce on the outside.
Tao Xi also ate quite a lot, and Qi Yan was not idle either. Chef Tao Qing, on the other hand, didn't eat much. He just took a few bites of the green vegetables next to him and spent most of his time watching Tao Xi and Qi Yan eating.
Qi Yan was embarrassed at first, but after struggling, he took a piece of sweet and sour pork and put it in Tao Qing's bowl. Tao Qing was flattered and just about to say a few words of courtesy, the sweet and sour pork in the bowl was taken away by Tao Xi's shadowless hand.
"My brother doesn't like eating meat, so brother Qi Yan, we can share the sweet and sour pork." After saying that, he looked at Tao Qing provocatively, stuffed the meat into his mouth with chopsticks, and chewed it.
Tao Qing regretted bringing Tao Xi here for the first time tonight. It was so... annoying, this girl!
Cleverly avoiding the adjective "light bulb", Tao Qing finished his dinner in three bites.
After the meal, Qi Yan went to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Tao Qing who looked unpredictable.
"Don't go, you're injured. Tao Xi likes washing dishes the most. Tao Xi, go wash the dishes!"
Tao Xi, who was studying the books on Qi Yan's bookshelf, looked over with a confused expression and pointed at himself in disbelief: "Me?"
"That's right, don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't wash the dishes at home?" Tao Qing curled her eyes with an expression that said, "I'm thinking of you more. Go wash the dishes. Alas, there are not many dishes. I don't know if I can do it." Let you enjoy washing..."
"WTF—?!" Tao Xi made a black question mark expression: "Tao Qing, are you trying to trick me?"
Qi Yan knew what was going on after listening to the conversation between the two brothers. He tried to put away the dishes while holding back his laughter: "I'll do the cleaning."
"Hey, don't!" Tao Qing stopped him again: "Tao Xi likes to wash the dishes. If she doesn't wash the dishes, she won't be able to sleep well tonight!"
After saying that, Tao Qing glared at Tao Xi and gave his sister a look. Tao Xi took a few deep breaths, stared back at Tao Qing, then his expression suddenly changed, and he narrowed his eyes and smiled at Qi Yan.
"Hehe, yes, what my brother said is very! Very! Yes!" Tao Xi emphasized the last word with a hint of gritted teeth: "Brother Qi Yan, please rest while I go wash the dishes. I like washing the dishes the most!"
Qi Yan: "..." Do you really like washing dishes? What a strange hobby...
Tao Xi obediently went to wash the dishes, while Qi Yan washed up in the bathroom, and then prepared to unload the sofa for Tao Qing and others, and went to lie down on the bed. Otherwise, Tao Qing and Tao Xi would have to sit on the floor. As a master, he would be doing a bit wrong. unacceptable.
I lay down on the bed, and happened to face the sofa outside through the door, so it would be convenient to chat or something.
"I'm going to lie down on the bed." Qi Yan smiled and then warned: "Be sure to tell me when you are leaving. I'm afraid I'll fall asleep lying on the bed."
"If you really fall asleep, we won't call you." Tao Qing pointed to the sticky note on the table: "Just leave you a note."
Qi Yan thought for a while and nodded in agreement. Although it was a bit rude not to give it to others, but on the other hand, it felt bad to let others wake me up while sleeping.
"Xiao Xi and I are not people who go to bed early. It's okay to chat for a while. If you don't want to chat, I will take her away immediately, so as not to disturb your rest with her whirring." Tao Qing glanced at Qi Yan's butt. : "How about you listen to me and ask the school for a few days off."
"... I still don't want it. My academic performance is not very good. If I ask for leave and delay classes, I won't be able to understand it even more."
"It's okay, I can help you!" Tao Qing's eyes lit up: "Have you forgotten, I am a college graduate, and I can handle high school projects easily!"
"Isn't this bad?" Qi Yan looked downcast: "You have helped me so much, how can I let you take care of me again and again? Even if we are friends, we don't have to do this... "
Qi Yan's words caused the room to fall into unprecedented silence.
After a while, Tao Qing's somewhat dry voice quietly sounded: "Are you tired of me..."
"Huh?!" Qi Yan suddenly raised his head and met Tao Qing's aggrieved gaze: "No, no, I just feel... I'm too annoyed..."
It’s me that’s annoying, asking you to take care of so much; it’s annoying that you’re thinking about me; it’s annoying that I’m asking you to help me like this even though we’ve only met each other a few times...
So, the person who is more annoying is me!
Tao Qing noticed Qi Yan's depressed expression. He lowered his head and looked at the boy lying on his arm, and suddenly felt a pang of distress.
Tao Qing didn't know what Qi Yan's family situation was like, but now it seems...
One person lives in a small apartment with one bedroom and one living room. Although the apartment is in a luxurious area and is a new building in recent years, it still reveals loneliness and loneliness. Who are his parents? Why did he leave himself here? As well as his obscurity and fondness for women's clothing, Tao Qing felt that he could make up a bloody drama, but this time it was a real story around him.
Looking at those bloody plots around me, really, they are not bloody at all, and even have a sense of sadness.
His fear, timidity, and cowardice were all seen through by Tao Qing.

"Don't think so." Tao Qing said in a gentle voice, "I am your friend. I help you because I recognize you. If you make me feel bored, I will not help you."
Qi Yan raised his head and looked at him, then lowered his head again without saying a word.
"Okay, I know what you are worried about." Tao Qing did not force it: "Don't worry that I sympathize with you. Xiaoxi is right. I am very accurate in judging people. I can't guarantee what will happen in the future, but I will Every step I take, I hope to be seen by you.”
Such a promise is more like a request, waiting for Qi Yan to answer.
"I… "
"Hey, why don't you stop talking so much about yourself? What I'm saying is that I'm a good judge of people! Who said you're a good judge of people?" Suddenly, Tao Xi's merciless slap in the face came from outside the house: "Qi Yan Brother, I am attracted to this person, Tao Qing, please stop trying to rob me!"
The moment he said those words, the atmosphere in the room changed.
Qi Yan first looked outside the room, then looked at Tao Qing's shit-eating face, and burst into laughter.
—Tao Xi is definitely Tao Qing’s nemesis!
"Tao Xi, pack it up quickly and go home!"
"Ouch! What are you doing? I haven't spoken to Brother Qi Yan yet!"
"Say what you say! Qi Yan needs to rest!"
"You domineering villain! Oh, my truth makes you feel ashamed, right? Hehehehe!"
"How dare you say that! Come and follow me!"
"Hey, how do you behave in such a rude manner! Brother Qi Yan, please wait until I come over after school tomorrow! Wait for me!!"
The sound of the door closing blocked all sounds, and Qi Yan could still vaguely feel the bickering between the brother and sister in the corridor.
Qi Yan smiled and sighed, his mood as bright as bathing in the sun.
