Croissant and Gao Gao on the balcony saw Hong Xiqi pointing at them, standing in front of the door, leaning on the door with their front feet, calling to them in a pitiful voice. Tao You couldn't bear it. It was very windy outside today, so he said, "Otherwise, let them come in."
"Aren't you afraid anymore?" Song Yimian asked. He had already guessed Tao You's reaction when he saw Croissant and Cake Cake.
Tao You hesitated and said: "I, try to overcome it?" She was not sure what would happen if she really put them in. Now she was just overflowing with love, and she didn't know if she would regret it.
"Were you bitten by a dog when you were a child?" Gu Yi asked. When Tao You shook his head, he didn't understand. "Then why are you afraid of dogs?"
Tao You was a little embarrassed, touched his nose, and said, "Why? Fear is just fear. How come there are so many whys?"
She didn't know why she was so afraid of dogs. When she was a child, she stayed at her grandfather's house in the countryside every day during the winter and summer vacations. Almost every household kept a few watchdogs. Regardless of whether they were ferocious or not, Tao You would take a detour if he saw one from a distance, unless there was someone nearby. Accompanying and blocking the side with the dog, even my own dog was a little scared, maybe it was the shadow left by that time.
"They are so cute, just put them in," Gu Yi looked at Tao You and begged, "Since there is no reason, believe me, you won't be afraid in a few minutes. If it doesn't work, lock them up then." Go out, it’s so windy outside today, it will get cold later.”
Tao You couldn't bear it, so he agreed.
As soon as Gu Yi opened the door, Croissant and Gao Gao ran in quickly with their tongues hanging out, spinning around Tao You's legs and sniffing hard.
Tao You stood stiffly, not daring to move. She looked straight ahead, not daring to look down. Their breath hit her legs, arousing goosebumps.
"Why are you still there?" The fear that Tao You had finally suppressed came back again, and his tone became anxious again.
Hong Xiqi came out of the kitchen, carrying fruits. Hearing Tao You's words, she stepped forward to drive them away.
Tao You quickly hid behind Song Yimian, pulled him to block the croissant and cake, and slowly moved to the sofa.
"Where should we learn?" Tao You asked while sitting on the sofa. He had not yet relaxed his vigilance to the croissant and cake beside him who were eager to try. His body was tense and his fingers were tightly twisting Song Yimian's clothes.
"You can have it in the living room or at the dining table. The table is as big as you want, so you can do whatever you want." Hong Xiqi said, "Chen Lian won't come today because her home is too far away from here and it's inconvenient."
After finishing speaking, he leaned into Tao You's ear and said, "What's going on between you and her? When will things get better?"
Tao You also whispered to her in a low voice: "How do I know? Shouldn't you ask her? Oh my god!" As she spoke, her voice suddenly increased. From the corner of her eye, she saw Gao Gao walking towards her again, lowering his head to her legs. Smell up.
Tao You threw off his slippers, stood up on the sofa, and squeezed behind Song Yimian, not forgetting to tug on his clothes with his hands. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated: "I was scared to death."
Not only was she frightened, but even Gao Gao was so frightened by her actions that he took a step back and froze there, looking at her blankly.
Song Yimian patted Tao You's hand and motioned for her to let go of his collar. He could hardly breathe, his face was red from holding back, and the veins on his neck popped out.
"You try to touch them, they are very well-behaved." Hong Xiqi said, reaching out and touching Gao Gao a few times.
Song Yimian also encouraged her: "It's just psychological. I'm blocking your way, just reach out. Hong Xiqi is also holding it, so it's even less likely to bite you." After saying that, he also leaned forward to touch Gao Gao.
Tao You was so moved by what he said that she stretched out a hand from behind Song Yimian, curled her fingers and tentatively touched the cake, but she retracted the moment it stretched out its head and the tip of its wet nose touched her fingertips. : "No, no, no."
"Don't be afraid." Song Yimian patted Tao You with his backhand to express comfort, "I'm standing in front of you, trust me."
Tao You took a deep breath, stretched out her hand again, her fingers trembled slightly, and murmured to herself: "The long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain." She closed her eyes, and with a cruel heart, she slapped the cake on the head. The furry touch under her hand was a very novel experience. She slowly opened her eyes, and the other hand holding Song Yimian's clothes relaxed, and her movements to touch the cake became larger.
Gao Gao also came closer, sticking out her tongue, and sat down in front of Tao You. Croissant who was lying beside also rushed over to join in the fun. Tao You came out completely from behind Song Yimian, sat down cross-legged, touched one with each hand, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Don't forget the business, hurry up and study." Song Yimian reminded others, took out his homework and put it on the coffee table, sat down on the ground, and prepared to do his homework.
Tao You also retracted his hand, sat next to Song Yimian, took out his homework book, and before he started doing his homework, he said, "Wait a minute, there is a physics question, please help me look at it first."
"This is about to begin." Hong Xiqi hugged the cat, half-lying on the sofa, scrolling through her phone, "I'll wait a moment."
Gu Yi sat on the sofa on the other side, staring at his mobile phone playing games, and said, "I'll finish this game later."
"You guys," Tao You said helplessly as he looked at the two lazy people, "didn't you agree to come here to study?"
"Hong Xiqi, what do you think when the time comes for liberal arts and sciences to be divided into classes?" She said bluntly, "Even if you are in a key class now, with your current grades, no matter what subject you choose, you will be placed into a key class. Do you think the possibility is high? It’s better to study hard for a year, the chance will be better.”
Hong Xiqi put down her mobile phone, patted her forehead, and said, "How could I forget that I still have this problem, Xiaoyou, I rely on you to supervise me this year." After saying that, she got off the sofa and put on noise-canceling headphones. , took out the exercise book, opened it religiously, pointed at the question with a pen, read word by word carefully, and instantly entered the state.
"Are you going to choose science or liberal arts?" Song Yimian continued the topic and asked Tao You.
Tao You pursed his lips and shook his head: "I don't know, no matter which one you choose, you must enter the key class, otherwise my mother will be nagging about it for who knows how long. You must choose science, right?"
Song Yimian leaned back on the sofa, raised his eyebrows and asked, "That's not necessarily true. I'm not bad at liberal arts. Maybe I'll choose liberal arts."
Tao You looked at Song Yimian and curled his lips, not believing what he said.
"What, Brother Mian, you want to choose liberal arts?!" Gu Yi stared at the phone and said in surprise, "Don't you want to learn computers? How can you learn this if you choose liberal arts?! Don't be impulsive!"
Sure enough, only one of Song Yimian's ten sentences was true. Tao You squinted his eyes, glanced at Song Yimian with disdain, hummed, and lowered his head to do his homework.
Song Yimian raised his leg and kicked Gu Yi. Gu Yi didn't pay attention and was kicked down on the sofa, shouting: "Oh, I'm going to lose, I'm going to lose!"
"That's one of the wishes." Song Yimian explained to Tao You, but he seemed weak.
Tao You nodded perfunctorily: "Whatever you want to learn has nothing to do with me. Computers are pretty good."
"Then which university do you want to go to?" After a while, Tao You couldn't control himself anymore and leaned over to ask Song Yimian.
Song Yimian stopped writing and answered seriously: "Yanda."
Tao You nodded in understanding, admiring his determination in his goal. When he was a child, he heard him say that he wanted to be admitted to Yanda University, and she silently considered her own strength in her heart. It was an ambition that she could not reach.
"With your current grades, you will definitely not be able to pass the Yanda University exam, but if you work hard in the past three years, it is still very possible." Song Yimian looked at Tao You's somewhat disappointed look and encouraged, " You still have a lot of room for improvement, and you can't predict what will happen in the future. If you keep your feet on the ground and learn each knowledge point solidly, the college entrance examination will test these knowledge points in different ways. Once you understand the principles thoroughly, it won't be difficult."
Tao You looked at Song Yimian gratefully, feeling encouraged, but she didn't want to take the Yanda exam.
"Gululu." A discordant voice sounded in the quiet living room.
The four of them looked up. You looked at me, I looked at you, but they didn't even admit that it was their own fault.
"Is that you?" Hong Xiqi pointed at Gu Yi and asked suspiciously.
Gu Yi didn't answer and turned to look at Song Yimian. After looking at Song Yimian, he instantly felt that it couldn't be him and turned to look at Tao You.
"It's not me." Tao You quickly denied.
The sound of "Gululu" sounded again, louder than the one just now.
The three of them looked at Hong Xiqi. She pursed her lips, blinked innocently, and said in defeat: "Okay, it's me."
"I didn't eat breakfast. I spent so many brain cells on my homework just now. What time is it now? It's time to get hungry." She pouted to defend herself, took out her phone and said, "What are you eating? I’ll order takeout.”
"Just keep an eye on it." The three of them were not picky eaters, and there was nothing they couldn't eat, so they let Hong Xiqi get it. With her level of advanced foodie, they completely believed in the restaurant she was looking for.
The takeout was delivered on time. Song Yimian and Tao You finished solving the problem at hand before heading to the restaurant.
"I grabbed it first!" Gu Yi held a piece of braised pork between his chopsticks.
Hong Xiqi also held on to the piece of meat, stared at him and said, "I was the one who took off the chopsticks first!"
Tao You sat aside and watched the farce silently, not understanding their elementary school students' behavior: "There is still so much meat, why are you staring at this piece? Isn't it very special?"
"No, but this is what I was interested in first." Hong Xiqi said through gritted teeth without relaxing her grip.
Tao You bit his chopsticks and said to Gu Yi, "Gu Yi, then you can just eat something else."
Gu Yi was not to be outdone: "Why didn't she take the place?" He didn't care about women being given priority now. Gentlemen were courteous. What should be his was his.
"Childish." Song Yimian's clear cold eyes casually glanced at the two people in front of him, curled up the corners of his mouth, and said casually. He sat next to Tao You and casually changed the positions of several dishes when the phone rang.
"Brother, where are you?" Song Xiaoan had just finished tutoring and returned home in a wonderful mood, only to find that the house was empty, there was no one there, and even lunch was not left for her.
Song Yimian said while eating: "At your classmate's house, you can order takeout for yourself."
"Is Sister Xiaoyou here too?" Song Xiaoan guessed that where Song Yimian was, there was a high probability that Tao You was also there. She had previously said that she would recommend some good mystery novels to her, but she forgot to ask for her last meal. On WeChat, she asked Song Yimian several times but was rejected. Even Gu Yi was contacted by Song Yimian. Finally, she had a chance to meet. Of course, she had to seize every possibility.
Song Yimian glanced at Tao You, who was eating seriously next to him, and hummed.
Song Xiaoan raised his voice excitedly: "Then can I go find you?"
"What are you doing here? Do your homework at home and I'll go back to check." Song Yimian frowned and refused ruthlessly.
"Tsk," Song Xiao'an thought for a while, suppressed his words, and acted coquettishly to Song Yimian through the phone: "Oh, my dear brother, can you bear to leave such a lovely sister of yours alone at home? I can go there. You must be studying while doing homework, right? I can't learn anything at home alone. If I encounter a problem, there is no one to ask. You can still teach me over there, right? Our teacher said that if there are problems, we must solve them in time without delay. I promise to do my homework obediently and not disturb Sister Xiaoyou."
"Don't even think about it, just do your homework at home." Song Yimian didn't follow her lead and said calmly, "Why don't I usually see you with so many problems? Let me go back and explain it to you. I won't miss this moment." , play less with your mobile phone.”
Song Xiaoan stopped talking. If the phone hadn't still displayed the call, Song Yimian would have thought she had hung up. She just put the phone back to her ear and wanted to say something more. Song Xiaoan's sharp, high-pitched voice carried a subtle electric current. The sound reached the ears of the four people: "Sister Xiaoyou, can I come to you?" Song Yimian immediately removed the phone, frowned, and rubbed his ears.
Tao You suddenly heard Song Xiaoan's voice and swallowed the potato slices in her mouth before she could chew them. She beat her chest and swallowed with difficulty.
"Who is it?" Hong Xiqi didn't know Song Xiaoan. Seeing Tao You's reaction, she asked curiously, and her hands relaxed unconsciously.
