Taking advantage of Hong Xiqi's dazzling moment, Gu Yi quickly snatched the piece of meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and replied: "Song Xiaoan, sister Song Yimian."
"Sister Xiaoyou, can you?" Song Xiaoan's soft voice came again, "I just came back from cram school, but no one was at home, and no food was left for me. I'm still hungry." She said more and more The more I felt pitiful, the more I felt aggrieved.
Song Yimian was speechless about her acting skills and said: "You have the skills and feet, you can just buy a meal by yourself, there is a shopping mall next to it."
Song Xiaoan ignored Song Yimian's words and continued to say to Tao You: "Sister Xiaoyou?"
"This." Tao You couldn't decide. Song Yimian disagreed. This was not her home. She looked at Song Yimian for help.
Song Yimian turned off the loudspeaker, put the phone to his ear, and said in a serious voice: "Song Xiaoan, we are not at Tao You's house. It's useless no matter how much you ask. She can't make a decision. Don't make trouble unreasonably. We'll do it right away." It's exam time, and you coming here will only disturb her review. If she doesn't finish what she should review and memorize in these few days, she will fail in the exam and Aunt Shujiang will be angry. Are you responsible?"
Song Xiao'an became completely quiet and stopped answering. Song Yimian didn't say anything either. They waited for her answer while eating, neither of them willing to back down.
There was a stalemate between the brother and sister. Hong Xiqi and Tao You looked at each other and said to Song Yimian: "Hey, I am the owner of this family. Did you ask me for my opinion? You all know each other. I haven't met her yet. It just happened. Make a new friend, I agree. Xiaoyou?"
"Then, come." Tao You also agreed, but she didn't care, "Xiao An, what can you do to disturb me? My grades are not as good as yours. That's what I built on a little bit of foundation. There's no way it's going to go down. Downhill plane? Why are you so nervous?" She said and grabbed the phone, "Xiao An, come on, I will send you the address, and the other sister also agreed."
"Wait a minute." Hong Xiqi said before hanging up the phone, "Are you afraid of dogs?" She was afraid that Song Xiaoan was like Tao You, so it was safer to ask in advance.
"Don't be afraid, I really like dogs!" Song Xiaoan's excited voice reached their ears, "I'll go over now!" The moment the call was hung up, Tao You and the others heard the sound of the door closing.
Tao You returned the phone to Song Yimian and used his own phone to send the address to Song Xiaoan.
"Don't regret it if you don't finish your review." Song Yimian warned, disapproving of their approach.
Tao You and Hong Xiqi were eating their own meals and ignored Song Yimian's words.
Song Xiaoan arrived soon. After saying hello to Hong Xiqi, he started chatting familiarly and recommended several novels to Tao You.
"Have you eaten?" Song Yimian handed Song Xiaoan a glass of water and asked.
Song Xiaoan didn't even look at him, didn't pick up the water, and hugged the cat with his head down.
"Hey, you little brat." Song Yimian put down the water glass and gently pushed Song Xiaoan's head. There was nothing he could do to her.
Throughout the afternoon, Song Xiaoan surprisingly did not talk to Tao You. He quietly did his homework and was extremely efficient. Song Yimian was not used to her doing this, so he walked over from time to time to check on her homework, fearing that she would There was nothing wrong with holding it back, but every time he didn't wait for him to get closer, Song Xiaoan would either turn the pages or pull the notebook in front of him to block it from him, preventing him from reading it.
Song Xiaoan is still angry with Song Yimian. She thinks that Song Yimian doesn't want her to come because he is not afraid that she will affect their studies, but because he dislikes her young age and doesn't want to take her with him. She is obviously two years younger than them. Sui, it's not that she is unreasonable, she just wants to follow them, why do she always talk about how unreasonable she is.
Croissant, cake, cream and egg tart lay down together and took a nap quietly without making any noise. They would only lazily open their eyes and look here when they turned over books or made noise while discussing, and then closed their eyes to rest.
The afternoon happened in a blink of an eye. Tao You stood up from his homework and stretched. Today's plan was basically completed, and his efficiency was more than twice as fast as at home. She rubbed her sore eyes and drank some water to moisten her thirsty throat.
"Are you done?" She asked as she moved next to Hong Xiqi and looked at her homework book.
Hong Xiqi flipped through his notepad and replied, "I'm almost done with this question. I'll continue tomorrow."
Tao You picked up the egg tart and sat on the sofa, and Gao Gao followed her and lay beside her legs. She turned on her phone, not knowing what to read. She thought of the novels that Song Xiaoan had just recommended, and slowly shrank to the corner of the sofa, facing the other people, keeping an eye on their movements. She downloaded the reading software and searched for a novel with a good-looking title. Before reading a few chapters, Song Yimian suddenly came over to look at her phone: "What are you reading? You're so absorbed."
Tao You quickly pressed the power button, pressed the phone to his chest, and said in a panic: "It's nothing."
"Mysterious." Song Yimian was not particularly curious. He sat aside and looked at her and said.
Hong Xiqi and Gu Yi also finished their homework and sat on the sofa, rubbing their sore waists.
"What are your plans later?" Hong Xiqi opened the takeout page and asked, "Let's eat here? Let's go out to play together in the evening."
Tao You turned on his phone and looked at the time and said, "I have to ask my parents."
"Where are we going to play?" Song Xiaoan put down his homework and ran over, his eyes shining.
Hong Xiqi thought for a while, pointed out the window, and suggested: "There is a new game arcade next to it. It is said to be pretty good. Would you like to go together after dinner?" As she said that, she looked at the other three people.
Tao You had no idea about game arcades. When she was a child, her relatives took her there a few times during the Chinese New Year, but she never went there again. She never played games, so she couldn't help but be a little curious, but decided to get her parents' consent before answering: "I Just wait for my parents to reply to me."
"Okay." Hong Xiqi then asked Gu Yi and Song Yimian, "What about you two?"
Gu Yi packed his schoolbag and said, "I can do anything. Anyway, I'm the only one going home."
"My brother is waiting for me to go back together." Song Xiao'an answered first, blocking what Song Yimian was going to say in his throat, "I have done all my homework, there are no problems, I have done it all, you will know when you go home and check." , I have finished all my cram school homework tomorrow." Seeing her say this, Song Yimian had no choice but to nod along.
After dinner, Tao You received a reply from her parents. Tao's mother and Song's mother were shopping. Tao's father did not restrict Tao You's movements, as long as she arranged things by herself.
The weather was not very good, the clouds were thick, and the wind became stronger at night, blowing the leaves all over the ground. Tao You's hair was messy and covered her eyes. She put her hands around her chest to keep warm. She was dressed a little thinly and was blown by the wind. She got goosebumps all over her body and said that she was embarrassed.
"Qiqi, how far is it still?" Tao You turned to look at Hong Xiqi and asked a little loudly. Her lips were numb from the cold and her teeth were chattering up and down.
Hong Xiqi pointed to the front and said: "It's at the crossroads ahead." She said, putting her hands around Tao You's shoulders and hugging her tightly, "Keep on holding on, we'll be there soon. I didn't expect it to be so cold today. Next time You have to check the weather forecast before going out."
Song Xiao'an walked to the other side of Tao You, put his arm around her waist, and said with a smile, "A hug will make it less cold."
The moment her hand touched his, Tao You instinctively ducked to the side. Looking at the posture of the two of them, he smiled helplessly: "You are too exaggerated. Others have looked over."
Entering the game room, the heating inside was very strong. Tao You's frozen body instantly felt relieved. He put down his arms and looked around curiously.
Although it was newly opened, it was crowded with people and the colorful lights were accompanied by deafening jazz music. Tao You's heart ached from the shock and he felt a little uncomfortable. Gu Yi and Hong Xiqi went to the front desk to exchange game coins.
"Xiaoyou, what do you want to play? You've had enough fun today!" Hong Xiqi shook the small basket in her hand and said excitedly.
Tao You saw that Hong Xiqi's mouth was moving, but he could not hear her words clearly, so he put his ear to it and asked loudly: "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly, please speak louder!"
"I told you to open up and play today!" Hong Xiqi increased her voice.
The music stopped and changed to soft and soothing music. Only then did Tao You feel like he was alive again: "Which one is fun?"
Hong Xiqi pulled Tao You inside and said as he walked, "You have asked the right person."
"My favorite," Hong Xiqi walked to the racing area, patted the back of the chair and said, "Driving a racing car is exciting. Try it?"
Tao You watched the people next to her immersed in the game. On the screen, the racing cars were moving rapidly and the pictures were constantly changing. She was dazzled. Hong Xiqi put in the game coins, pushed Tao You onto the seat, and said, "Try it."
The screen showed that the game was about to start. Tao You hurriedly wanted to stand up. He thought about retreating and spoke faster: "I'll take a look again. You play first. I haven't played before and I don't know how to play. Please show me. "
"This thing is familiar again and again," Song Xiaoan stood on the other side of Tao You, holding her shoulders and comforting her, "We are here to guide you, what are you afraid of? We are here to play, everything has its own rules. Just once. Put your feet down, brake, accelerator, hold the steering wheel, and just listen to our instructions later."
The countdown started on the screen. Tao You clenched the steering wheel with both hands. Adrenaline began to rise. His heartbeat gradually accelerated. He couldn't help but take a deep breath. When the countdown ended, the car rushed out without giving Tao You any time to react: "What should I do now, where should I turn the steering wheel, and which step should I step on?" She asked a series of questions.
"Turn the steering wheel slightly to keep the car on the road and don't run outside. When turning, depending on the angle, you can turn the steering wheel as much as you intuitively feel. If you step on the accelerator, the speed can be faster." Hong Xi Qi chatted from the side, "Don't be nervous, I'm going to play nearby."
After saying that, he found a seat to sit down again and prepared to play. Song Xiaoan followed closely and found a seat further to the side.
"Don't go!" Tao You shouted anxiously, his eyes not daring to leave the screen, his hands on the steering wheel turned white, "You promised to watch over it for me?! Come back, what should I do next?! Hey!"
There was a big turn, Tao You couldn't react in time, the car hit the guardrail, and the game ended. Tao You breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the chair.
"Are you still having fun?" Song Yimian stood behind her at some point.
Tao You turned around and said, "I won't play anymore. I don't understand." She stood up and offered her seat, "Are you playing?"
Song Yi reluctantly sat down, put in the game coins, put his hands on the steering wheel casually, and said very relaxedly: "Watch it."
Tao You stood aside, watching the countdown, holding the back of the chair tightly with his hands, and immersed himself in it. Several times when she turned a corner, she almost screamed, her heart was in her throat, her face was red, and she looked nervous.
The car reached the finish line smoothly, Tao You clapped excitedly, and the onlookers also praised: "Young man is very skilled, do you play often?"
"Occasionally." Song Yimian glanced at the man, replied flatly, stood up and said to Tao You, "What else do you want to play?"
Tao You looked around and didn't know what was interesting. Seeing that there were many dancing robots at the door, he walked over curiously.
There were two people standing on the dance machine dancing to the music. The music was very passionate, and many people around them were videotaping it.
Tao You looked down and was eager to try.
"Xiao Youyou, shall I go up and play with you later?" Hong Xiqi also arrived here at some unknown time.
Tao You looked back at her and saw so many people watching, and said hurriedly: "I won't go, I won't."
"No," Song Xiao'an advised, "Sister Xiaoyou, you must have the spirit of bold innovation and experimentation. If you don't know how to dance, just press the arrow displayed above and step on the corresponding square."
"No, no, no, you go first, and I'll take a look later." Tao You said, pushing Hong Xiqi and Song Xiaoan to stand on the free dance machine. At the end of the dance, Hong Xiqi and Song Xiaoan were tied. They high-fived and walked down with smiles. Tao You didn't know that these two danced so well, so he applauded them excitedly.
"Song Yimian," a group of people came from the other direction and greeted Song Yimian, "Long time no see."
