"What are you doing? Why are you locking the door?" Mother Tao urged outside the door again, "What's going on with you today? I can't help you now, right? It's so difficult to ask you to run an errand."
"It's coming, it's coming." Tao You patted away the crumbs on his hands, twisted the zipper bag a few times, and stuffed it into his pocket, "I'll go right away."
"What are you doing mysteriously?" Tao's mother opened the door and saw a pile of walnut shell fragments on the desk that had not been cleaned. She reluctantly went in to clean them up and said, "You have to lock the door to eat walnuts. I usually don’t see you touching it at home, and I don’t even eat it after it’s been peeled for you, but now I’m going out, but I’m starting to eat it, and I’m eating so much at once, so I’m not afraid of getting angry, what’s wrong with me.”
"By the way, I also packed some chicken soup for Xiao An. She is at home today. I put it all in the bag. Take it and don't wander around when walking."
The thermos box on the table had already been filled with bags, and Tao You carried it out the door. While going downstairs, she carefully stuffed the small bag of walnut meat that she had finally peeled into the corner of the bag.
When she arrived at Song Yimian's house, it was Song Xiaoan who opened the door. Song Yimian had not returned home just as Tao's mother said.
Later, Tao You had no way of knowing whether Song Yimian drank the chicken soup and whether he ate the walnut meat, because she was too embarrassed to tell Song Xiaoan that she had prepared it for Song Yimian.
However, when having breakfast the next morning, the two thermos boxes had been cleaned and placed on the dining table. Mother Tao did not mention the bag of walnut meat, apparently not knowing its existence.
For some reason, Tao You's anxiety and fear of being discovered calmed down a lot when he saw Tao's mother who looked normal.
——————————————————————————————
Tao You felt worthless when he thought of the pitted edges of his nails that had become pitted because of peeling walnuts, and the cracks between his nails that had been hurting for a long time.
——Since she was a child, when has she ever suffered this crime because of outsiders?
——This one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer! What the hell is she worrying about here? As a result, I made myself look like a human being inside and out.
Tao You feels that she is no different from a clumsy clown now. The biggest difference is that she dresses better now.
The school bell plays over and over again, lingering throughout the campus. ..
Perhaps it was because the school had not been repaired for a long time, and the lights in the corridor were flickering on and off, but Tao You could still clearly see the boredom flashing quickly in Song Yimian's eyes.
The classmates passing by looked at them curiously.
"What's going on with Tao You and Song Yimian? They were fine just now. Why are they quarreling?"
"What good thing did I miss?!"
"Hey, is that Tao You? Let me go, are she and Song Yimian wearing couple's outfits today?! When did the two of them develop such a relationship?!" Students from other classes passed by, because Tao You and Song Yimian Yimian stood close to each other, and the similarity in their clothes could be seen at a glance, and many students couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
"Song Yimian is really handsome. Look at the way he covers his mouth. Holy shit, he's so domineering. I love him so much! Ah~"
Tao You turned his back to the classmate who was speaking and rolled his eyes silently.
——This blessing is for you, do you want it?
"Isn't Ding Dongyi a liberal arts major? Why do you keep running to the science building recently?"
"You are not well-informed. She is planning to transfer to science."
"Ah, why? I heard that the transfer exam is quite difficult."
"What else could it be for?" The classmate who answered raised his chin at Song Yimian, "Tao You, Song Yimian, Ding Dongyi. Tsk, tsk, tsk... If she really succeeds in transferring to Class 1, then... That’s wonderful.”
"...You know it again."
"Fuck, when you say that, why am I still looking forward to it!"
"My compatriots in Class 1, please be well-informed when the time comes. Share the blessings."
"No problem! We'll take care of it!" Class 1 students vowed, patting their chests.
「······」
——Ah, hello! Is it really okay to gossip so blatantly in front of the person involved?
Tao You heard their gossip clearly, and Song Yimian and Ding Dongyi must have heard it too, but one of them didn't have much expression on his face all year round, and the other lowered his head to see clearly.
She was ashamed. Today's students have so many unscrupulous gossips in their minds. They must have watched too many TV series. That's how the rumor reached the teacher's ears.
Song Yimian seemed to be afraid that Tao You would say something shocking again, so he kept covering her mouth.
"Puff, puff, puff." Tao You was furious. Knowing that Song Yimian had mysophobia, she spit into the palm of his hand without thinking.
——I disgust you to death!
As she expected, Song Yimian let go of his hand in the next second, spread his hands, looked down at the bit of saliva on it, his face instantly darkened, and his brows were tightly knitted into the character "Sichuan". With that look, he was probably thinking about what to do with his contaminated hands. Even if Song Yimian washes his hands until they are bald, Tao You will only feel that it is enjoyable and he deserves it.
Tao You relieved himself slightly, raised his hand to wipe away the saliva on his lips, glared at Song Yimian fiercely, pulled his schoolbag from his shoulder, and threw it on his back, "You want to leave or not! Who cares? cut."
After she finished speaking, she didn't intend to look at Ding Dongyi's expression. It didn't take much to guess that she must be secretly glad now, and it was annoying to see her hypocritical look.
Tao You turned around, pushed Song Yimian away, and prepared to go down the far away staircase on the opposite side.
"Wait for me, I'll be out soon." Song Yimian grabbed Tao You's schoolbag.
This time, before Tao You could reply, Hong Xiqi stood up, slapped Song Yimian's hand away, and glanced coldly at Ding Dongyi, who had an "I'm innocent, I don't know anything" expression on his face, and glanced at him. , said angrily, "Xiao Youyou has already said that her father has been waiting downstairs for a long time. You only have two choices, either leave now or go back by yourself. Who are you, with such a big face and such a cold weather? What time is it, why should you let her wait for you again!"
The students around him had almost left. Although Tao You felt embarrassed, he still held his head high and his chest stubbornly high.
Song Yimian thought for a while, then let go of his hand and said to Tao You, "Then you go back first and send me a message when you get home. Go down and change your clothes first."
After listening to Song Yimian's words, Tao You calmed down. His eyes were sore, but there were no tears, "You don't need to worry."
"Qi..." Gu Yicai came back from the office and saw Hong Xiqi's figure. He raised his hands and waved happily. As soon as he uttered a syllable in his mouth, he noticed the stalemate in the atmosphere between the few people.
"What, what's going on?" Gu Yi came over and carefully looked at the people with different expressions. His eyes turned back and forth on the people. Experience told him that it was better not to get involved casually at this moment.
He didn't have time to think too much. While entering the room, he shouted to Hong Xiqi, "Just wait for me for a minute. I'll clean up and come out! It'll be quick!"
"Tch. Let's go, little Youyou." Hong Xiqi curled her lips in disdain, pulled Tao You and walked away in a hurry.
It wasn't until Tao You's figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs that Song Yimian seemed to be awakened by the sudden strong wind.
The corners of his eyes moved, he put his hands in his pockets, rubbed his hair in embarrassment, turned around, his eyes were cold, and he urged angrily, "Do you have any more questions? Hurry up." He said, but did not go. Regardless of Ding Dongyi's expression, he just entered the classroom.
Ding Dongyi felt that Song Yimian's eyes were looking at him, which was more biting than the cold north wind, and it hurt his heart. She opened her mouth, but finally chose silence.
"Hey, where is the person?" Gu Yi hurriedly ran out of the classroom, knocking several tables upside down, but saw that all the people in the corridor had disappeared.
"Brother Mian, where are Tao You and Hong Xiqi?" He stood at the door of Class 1 classroom and asked inside, "Leaving? You didn't even wait for me!" He asked and answered his own questions, and there was no need for Song Yimian to speak.
"Hey, Brother Mian, it's so late, why don't you leave? You look so bad, are you angry?" He was no longer in a hurry, and lazily bent over
On the window sill, he asked with a playful smile. In a blink of an eye, he saw Ding Dongyi sitting opposite Song Yimian. The smile on his face froze for a second, and he nodded unnaturally to say hello.
"I'll leave in a moment." Song Yi replied calmly, and calmly raised his hand to look at the time, "Five minutes."
Gu Yi turned his head and glanced at the empty staircase, then glanced at the two people in the classroom, and a thought flashed through his mind.
He carried his schoolbag into the classroom, pulled out Tao You's chair, sat down carelessly, raised his feet, put his long legs with nowhere to rest on the table, put one hand on the back of the chair, and said lazily, "Sure, I'll wait for you to leave together. Ha," he said, yawning widely, "Hurry up, I'm so sleepy, I still have to pack my clothes when I get back. Brother Mian, have you packed them?"
Ding Dongyi kept his head down and listened silently. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of him putting his feet next to him, wrinkled his nose in disgust, and moved slightly to the side quietly.
"Yeah. It's almost done." Song Yimian nodded and said softly, "You should bring less things."
Gu Yi twirled his schoolbag strap in his hand and said with a cheesy smile, "Hey, I'm going to bring my ski suit. I've asked about it. There is a newly opened indoor ski resort next to the hotel. You can use it when there is no competition. Go there and play.”
"Daydreaming." Song Yimian dropped these words and looked at Ding Dongyi, who had been silent across from him. His tone returned to his original impatience, and he tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically, "What's the problem? Hurry up. , don’t say I’m going back.”
Ding Dongyi's heart that had just been put down for a while was raised again, and he stuttered, "This, this formula, no, it's not very clear, I understand." It's so fierce, it's better to go to the teacher directly.
Song Yimian pulled the book and looked down at the formula.
Gu Yi sat aside and said nothing, taking out his mobile phone to send a message to Hong Xiqi.
