Chapter 37

Tao Zhi hesitated for three seconds between "pretending to not hear him and turning around and leaving" and "turning around to face the pain" and felt that the former was a little deliberate and more embarrassing.

She stood silent against the glass window for two seconds, then turned around one by one. She even felt her body stiff enough to hear the "click" sound of the bones as she turned.

Tao Zhi turned his head, looked at Jiang Qihuai, and showed a false smile: "Here are you here?"

Jiang Qihuai looked at her without any emotion.

Tao Zhi kept smiling and curled up the corner of his mouth, raised his arm, patted his shoulder twice, and said naturally: "Do it well, ah."

“…”

At that moment, Jiang Qihuai thought she was the owner of this convenience store.

Tao Zhi subconsciously wanted to escape. The little Gu Yong who was so impulsive that he was scared by him was completely gone. She didn't know what she hadn't understood completely, so she had to find someone, look at him and then determine what.

It’s all because he looked so good when he revised the composition for her.

It's all his fault.

Tao Zhi thought a little angrily.

Before she could step away, an old man came over Jiang Qihuai.

The old man looked in his sixties and looked energetic. He looked at her with a pair of smiling eyes and asked, "Is this a classmate?"

Jiang Qihuai said "hmm".

Tao Zhi reacted and quickly said hello to the old man: "Hello grandpa."

"Hey, hello," the old man looked at her kindly and said, "Are you here to play with Ah Huai?"

“…”

No, I just come to see his work progress.

Grandpa Jiang's words made Tao Zhi get in a dilemma again. She thought about it and nodded slowly.

Seeing her nodding, Grandpa Jiang seemed very happy: "Come on, come and have made friends in the new school."

Tao Zhi subconsciously glanced at Jiang Qihuai.

The boy lowered his eyes, his cold breath disappeared, and he looked very quiet.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but when standing next to the old man, he will give people a feeling of restraining his sharp shell and becoming soft.

The lone wolf turned into a little golden retriever.

Tao Zhi was a little strange. She was used to being able to please the old man. She smiled and said, "Grandpa, Jiang Qihuai has a very popular reputation in school, and everyone likes to play with him."

When copying homework during morning self-study.

Grandpa Jiang was even happier: "Ahuai has a good personality and has been likable since he was a child."

“…”

Tao Zhi didn't know what to say for a moment, and she couldn't connect Jiang Qihuai with the words "good-hearted" and "likable".

Jiang Qihuai raised his eyes, and when he saw her expression that was hard to describe, he knew what she was thinking. He sighed: "It's windy outside, let's go back first."

Grandpa Jiang nodded and looked at Tao Zhi again: "Did the little girl have dinner tonight?"

"Not yet."

Grandpa Jiang: "Then let's go, go up and have a meal and then play with him. Grandpa makes delicious food for you."

Tao Zhi: "Ah? Ah..."

ah???

-

Jiang Qihuai's family lives on this street. They turn into a small alley next to the convenience store. The vermilion walls of the old residential building are mottled, and the cement-made stairs are covered with small advertisements. The floor height is slightly lower, and the corridor is narrow and cramped.

The last household on the third floor of his family was standing at the door, and Tao Zhi stood at the door and watched Jiang Qihuai use the key to open the door. After walking in, he finally walked in, but he still didn't realize why things had developed like this.

Jiang Qihuai stood at the door and turned on the lights.

The ceiling light in the living room is warm yellow, the living room is very small, you can see the head at a glance, the dining table is placed at the door, the old mahogany coffee table, and the sofa is covered with white-washed sand.

Tao Zhi just glanced at him and stopped looking around. He bowed his head to change his shoes obediently.

She went in and took off her coat, and stopped throwing it away, folded it aside, then sat on the sofa with her hands on her knees.

Like an honest elementary school student.

Grandpa Jiang washed his hands, asked her if she had any food ban, and then went into the kitchen.

Jiang Qihuai followed behind and poured her a glass of water.

Tao Zhi took it over and said "Thank you" in a low voice.

The water was warm and dispelled the coolness that had just stood outside. Tao Zhi drank in a small sip with a glass cup and secretly looked in the direction of the kitchen.

The door was not closed, Jiang Qihuai stood in front of the sink and washed the vegetables, then took out a piece of red meat from the refrigerator.

He closed the refrigerator door and looked out.

Tao Zhi quickly shrank back his head and looked down at the water in his water cup.

The sound of speech comes from time to time in the kitchen.

Tao Zhi hesitated for a moment, put down the cup, walked to the door and poked his head: "Do you want me to help?"

Jiang Qihuai dragged out the chopping board and was cutting vegetables: "Go back and sit."

"You go out too, you have such a big man to occupy the land," Grandpa Jiang rushed him unhappily, "I'm here to play with you. Today, the old man shows you his skills. Don't steal my limelight here."

Tao Zhi burst out with a "pu" laugh.

Jiang Qihuai had no choice but to put down what he had in his hand and washed his hands and left the kitchen.

Tao Zhi leaned against the wall and looked at him with a smile.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing," Tao Zhi still smiled, "I just didn't expect that the Highness, who we usually dragged to the sky, was a good baby at home."

Jiang Qihuai couldn't help but "hiss", raised his hand and knocked her head, and walked in.

Tao Zhi covered his head and followed him: "Why do you always knock on my head? You can knock on my stupid ones!"

"I'll beat the gopher."

Tao Zhi was unhappy and followed him with his teeth and claws, making silent faces.

Jiang Qihuai suddenly turned his head.

Tao Zhi's movements immediately stopped, his expression tense on his face, and he looked at him calmly.

Jiang Qihuai silently curled the corner of his lower lip, walked to the bedroom door, pushed open the door and gave in to the side.

The bedroom is a relatively private place. Tao Zhi stood at the door and hesitated for a moment and did not go in: "Can I go in?"

"Do you still want me to treat you?"

"It's not impossible?" Tao Zhi said seriously.

Jiang Qihuai ignored her and walked straight in.

Tao Zhi followed him in.

The space in his bedroom is not big. There is a bed next to the window, a desk at the head of the bed, and a wardrobe by the wall. A huge bookshelves stand on the entire wall opposite, with books on it full of stuffed books.

Compared to Tao Zhi's ragged bedroom, his room looked neat and clean and ordinary.

The only highlight is the full photos on the wall next to the desk.

Tao Zhi didn't expect Jiang Qihuai to have such a side.

She said with emotion: "I didn't expect that our nobleman, who is indifferent and aloof, also has such a delicate and fragile heart for literary youth."

"Don't get sick." Jiang Qihuai walked to the table, searched through the pile of papers and books on the table, then took out a book and handed it to her.

"What's this?" Tao Zhi took it over and took a look.

"Wang Qianxiong 365 Series - Selected English Compositions"

Tao Zhi: "..."

Tao Zhi raised his head and looked at him as if he was looking at a devil in hell: "I'll come to your house to play, do you let me read the collection of essays?"

"Do you still have time to play?"

“…”

OK.

Tao Zhi walked to the desk and sat down, and opened his collection of essays.

Jiang Qihuai left the bedroom.

Tao Zhi couldn't stand it. When she thought of herself sitting in Jiang Qihuai's desk and staying in his bedroom, she felt very itchy. She pretended to turn over two pages, put the book on the table, and stood up.
