pick a peach essence

"Hahaha, you are here, Mr. Xiao."

Tao Tao finally rubbed her belly, then stood up while supporting the chair.

"Ah."

After hearing this, Xiao Qiong glanced at Tao Tao's hand holding the chair, and agreed.

"Well, you sit down first, senior sister and Qianqian are going down to order."

Tao Tao hurried to the opposite side, then pulled up the chair next to senior sister Xiao Lan, and motioned for Xiao Qiong to sit here.

However, Xiao Qiong just stared at her for a while, then walked over by herself, and stopped beside the chair Tao Tao was sitting on just now.

When Tao Tao was in a daze, he pulled up the chair beside her and sat down directly.

?

Tao Tao stared at Xiao Qiong with wide eyes.

And Xiao Qiong looked at her leisurely.

"Come and sit."

Xiao Qiong looked at Tao Tao without any response for a long time, then reached out and patted the chair she was sitting on just now, and motioned her to come over with his eyes.

This……

Tao Tao hesitated, when did she and Xiao Qiong become so familiar?She doesn't know it herself.

However, under Xiao Qiong's coercion, Tao Tao slowly moved to his side, sat down while supporting the table.

Seeing her movement, Xiao Qiong glanced sideways at her.

"Physical discomfort?"

Xiao Qiong looked at her pale face, then frowned.

"Uh...that's right, my stomach hurts a bit."

After Tao Tao sat beside Xiao Qiong, she actually felt her stomach hurt even more.

Is he born to beat me?

Tao Tao quickly rubbed her stomach again.

"What are you doing with your stomach hurting and covering your stomach?"

However, Xiao Qiong looked down at her movements and said something that made Tao Tao vomit blood.

"I……"

Tao Tao almost rolled her eyes.

Why am I covering my stomach?I'm happy!
Tao Tao almost didn't come up in one breath, but Xiao Qiong was so angry that she fainted.

"Hahaha, I, I am not, it hurts."

So Tao Tao casually said nonsense with no scientific basis to perfuse him.

……

This time it was Xiao Qiong's turn to be silent.

He may also think that I am hopeless.

Tao Tao supported his forehead.

However, in the next second, Xiao Qiong actually picked up the kettle on the table, and poured a full cup of hot water into the cup in front of Tao Tao.

Ok?
Tao Tao watched the man in front of him confuse him, and suddenly didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

"Drink some hot water."

Xiao Qiong ignored Tao Tao's embarrassment, he naturally pushed the steaming water glass in front of Tao Tao.

Tao Tao looked at the steaming hot water in front of her, she was afraid that Xiao Qiong would poison it.

"Thank you, Teacher Xiao..."

Tao Tao stretched out her hand tremblingly, then picked up the cup, carefully sipping the hot water inside.

Xiao Qiong nodded in satisfaction beside her, then he poured himself a glass and drank with her.

And this scene just happened to be met by Xiao Lan and Meng Yuqian who came back from ordering food.

Xiao Lan and Meng Yuqian looked at the two people who were sitting there holding cups and slowly sipping hot water, then turned their heads stiffly, and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

When did this become a health care bureau?
The corners of Meng Yuqian's mouth twitched. She was now considering whether she should go downstairs and replace all the dishes she ordered with medicinal food.

"Hey! Senior sister, you are back."

Just when Meng Yuqian was about to turn around and leave with her senior sister, she heard Tao Tao's soul-like voice in the room.

"Come in, come in, Teacher Xiao is here."

Tao Tao seemed to have a dog chasing her behind her. When she saw Meng Yuqian and Senior Xiao Lan, she jumped up from the chair and ran to them, grabbing their arms. Just pull them into the house.

……

Meng Yuqian looked at Tao Tao, who was abnormally excited, and blinked suspiciously.

Isn't this... the reaction of seeing the police uncle after being kidnapped?

Then Meng Yuqian suddenly reacted, recalling the scene in the room just now.

Well, there is a problem.

Relying on Meng Yuqian's soul of gossip that has been cultivated for decades, she clearly found that Tao Tao and Teacher Xiao had problems.

In a place as large as the entire table, the two people who were close together just now formed a sharp contrast with the wide distance between the seats next to them.

Meng Yuqian rubbed her chin with her thumb and forefinger, then stared at Tao Tao wretchedly.

It’s over.

Tao Tao's heart skipped a beat.

Is this little girl going to find trouble for me again?
As a result, the truth is that you can come to whatever you want.

"Come, come, since Mr. Xiao is here, let's hurry in and eat."

Tao Tao looked at Meng Yuqian and suddenly smiled evilly at herself, then greeted the rest of the people loudly.

Under Tao Tao's desperate gaze, Meng Yuqian pulled senior sister Xiao Lan who didn't know why, and quickly walked to Tao Tao and Xiao Qiong and sat down.

Wait, why is it opposite?

I……

Tao Tao wants to cry but has no tears, why is this little girl running?
Tao Tao looked at Meng Yuqian's smiling face, and then became even angrier.

My uncle can bear it, but my aunt can't bear it.

Then Tao Tao walked back to her seat with sonorous steps, picked up the bag on the chair next to her, and threw it to Meng Yuqian with the greatest strength in her life.

"Take your bag!"

Tao Tao gritted her teeth and roared.

"Hahahahaha, good!"

The bag landed in Meng Yuqian's arms in a perfect parabola, and Meng Yuqian took it with a very relaxed posture.

Tao Tao was so angry that she almost fainted again.

Look at it, look at it, even Bao is not willing to hit her.

Tao Tao thought that after she finished her meal and returned to her dormitory, it was necessary for her to give Meng Yuqian an in-depth family ideological education.

Then Tao Tao angrily sat back beside Xiao Qiong under Meng Yuqian's mocking gaze.

She's screwed.

Tao Tao was thinking about how to hammer Meng Yuqian's dog's head off.

However, what Tao Tao didn't know was that when she was confronting Meng Yuqian just now, Xiao Qiong, who was sitting next to her, had been holding her chin with her hands and looking at her with a smile in the corner of her eyes.

Neither of them noticed Xiao Qiong's change, only Xiao Lan who was sitting opposite Xiao Qiong was staring at his brother closely.

Xiao Lan sighed deeply after seeing the smile on her brother's face that hadn't appeared for a long time.

In fact, Xiao Lan has always wanted to know what his brother went through when he was 12 years old, which made him no longer smile.

That day was a very ordinary afternoon, ten-year-old Xiao Lan was still sitting by the window of her bedroom, leaning on the glass to watch the servants coming and going downstairs.

Will father come home for dinner today?

Xiao Lan pouted, then stared downstairs without blinking.

However, today she did not wait for her father, she did wait for her elder brother who was sneaking around at the gate of her house.

Um?What is brother doing?
After Xiao Lan saw this scene, she quickly wiped the hot air she exhaled on the glass with her sleeve, then rubbed her eyes and watched carefully.

That's right, that little figure is indeed his brother, but...

Xiao Lan looked at her brother's tattered clothes, dirty face and unkempt hair, and she suddenly panicked.

She knew her brother must be in danger.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Lan jumped down from the window sill, stepped on her shoes in a panic, and ran out of her room.

Xiao Lan stood panting in front of a door, that room in the corner of the house.

She tried her best to calm her breathing, then stood on tiptoe and knocked on the door.

……

As a result no response was received.

Xiao Lan was so anxious that she almost cried, and she knocked on dozens of times eagerly.

But there was still no sound in the room.

Xiao Lan's big eyes were filled with tears at this moment.

She stared closely at the dilapidated door, after a while, she lowered her hands as if giving up, then lowered her head and said two words in a very small voice.

"Mother……"

"Xiao Lan."

Eh?
At this moment, Xiao Lan suddenly heard her brother's voice, she turned her head quickly, and sure enough, she saw her dirty brother standing not far away from her, leaning on the wall.

"elder brother!"

Seeing her brother in distress, Xiao Lan finally couldn't help crying.

While crying, she quickly ran to her brother, and hugged the boy in front of her tightly.

"Don't cry, Xiaolan."

Xiao Qiong stretched out her already exhausted hand, and gently stroked Xiao Lan's hair.

"Brother, have you been bullied by bad guys? Why, how did you become like this..."

Xiao Lan has never seen a brother like this since she was a child. The moment she saw Xiao Qiong just now, she felt a burst of fear.

She was afraid that her only brother would leave her too.

Xiao Lan hugged Xiao Qiong and cried softly.

"I'm fine, Xiaolan, I'm really fine."

Xiao Qiong hugged her sister tightly in distress, and then whispered in her ear.

"Wuuuuuu, brother, I, I'm going to ask my mother to come and see you."

Xiao Lan seemed to remember something suddenly, she trembled and left her brother's arms, and then made a gesture to run back to the door just now and continue to knock on the door.

"do not go!"

Xiao Qiong who was behind her suddenly reached out to stop her.

"Don't go, don't go..."

Xiao Qiong seemed to have exhausted all his strength, but he still held Xiao Lan's hand tightly, not letting her pass.

"Xiao Lan, I'm fine, you, can you help me to stay in your room for a while?"

Xiao Qiong squatted weakly on the ground, then raised her head and spoke softly to Xiao Lan.

"Okay, brother, hold on, brother, I'll help you lie down for a while."

Xiao Lan looked at her brother's pale face, quickly wiped away her tears, then used her best strength to help Xiao Qiong up, and walked slowly towards her room step by step.

Xiao Qiong walked slowly with his sister bit by bit. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at the dilapidated door that was getting farther and farther away from the two of them.

He glanced at it coldly. That look definitely didn't look like the look a 12-year-old boy should have.

Soon Xiao Qiong regained his composure, he turned his head, followed his younger sister and walked away without looking back.

Just as they disappeared around the corner of the corridor, the door that was closed just now suddenly creaked open.

The end of the corridor is very dim, so it is impossible to see everything in the room through the small gap.

All that could be seen was the ring-wearing hand tightly gripping the edge of the door, and a corner of the dark green cheongsam that was accidentally exposed.

"Brother woo woo, are you alright?"

Xiao Lan finally helped Xiao Qiong back to her room. Once in the room, Xiao Qiong fell down on the bed.

"Brother, brother!"

Xiao Lan pushed her brother's body in panic, and found that there were some wounds on his arms and legs, and they were bleeding.

How to do how to do?
Xiao Lan sat on the ground and cried helplessly.

Who can she turn to for help?
She was afraid that her brother would die, and she was afraid that she would live alone in this world from now on.

Just as she was crying in despair, her brother lying on the bed suddenly moved.

"Brother, brother?"

Xiao Lan got up from the ground in surprise, then ran to the bed and held her brother's hand tightly.

"Brother, how are you?"

Xiao Qiong looked at the younger sister who was crying into a little cat in front of her, and then smiled softly.

"I'm fine Xiaolan, don't worry."

Xiao Qiong raised his hand tremblingly, trying to wipe away the tears on his younger sister's face, but he still let go of his hand.

"Brother woo woo!"

Xiao Lan cried even more fiercely.

"Xiao Lan, brother is fine, brother is just too tired and wants to sleep.

Xiao Qiong squeezed Xiao Lan's hand, then smiled at her.

"Brother woo woo, but you, but you are bleeding."

Xiao Lan hiccupped from crying and spoke intermittently.

"It's okay Xiaolan, I just accidentally fell to the ground when I was playing outside."

Xiao Qiong smiled, and then continued: "Didn't I often wrestle when I was a child, and I passed it with a straightening."

"Woooooooo..."

Xiao Lan listened to his brother's words seriously, and then asked: "Are you really going to sleep? Don't lie to me, brother."

"Well, I won't lie to you, Xiaolan."

After Xiao Qiong finished speaking, she finally fell into a deep coma.

"I'm sorry, Xiaolan, if my brother has done something bad, will you still forgive me?"

Before falling into a coma, Xiao Qiong finally did not say this sentence.

Xiao Lan was suddenly "disturbed" and pulled out of her memory.

"Everyone's dishes have been served, please take your time."

Hey, Xiao Lan came back to her senses, and then sighed imperceptibly.

Xiao Qiong raised her head and looked at the opposite sister who suddenly looked sad, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"Huh? Me, I'm fine."

Xiao Lan smiled at her brother, then hurriedly picked up her chopsticks, and greeted everyone: "Come, come, eat while it's hot, eat while it's hot."

Xiao Qiong looked at the strange Xiao Lan, then frowned, but still didn't say anything.

Feeling the sudden change of atmosphere, Tao Tao swallowed, and picked up her own chopsticks.

"Come, come, we have this meal today to thank Senior Sister Xiao Lan for helping us for so long, and to thank Teacher Xiao for his hard work this semester."

Fortunately, this little girl Meng Yuqian is still online at any time. She turned her eyes to look at the three people who were filled with embarrassment, poured herself a drink, and then stood up holding the cup and talking loudly.

"Come on, hurry up, let's have a drink!"

Meng Yuqian's sudden voice brought the atmosphere back to the right track, Xiao Qiong and Xiao Lan quickly reacted, and then they also picked up their cups and stood up.

Tao Tao looked at the meal that seemed to be getting old in silence, and then picked up the cup under everyone's gaze.

"Hahaha, it's also my honor to meet you two lovely girls."

Xiao Lan said with a smile when she heard it, then glanced at Xiao Qiong and winked at him.

"Well, indeed, it is my honor to meet such a lovely student."

After Xiao Qiong glanced at Xiao Lan, she also raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, and said this sentence.

I don't know if it's because she is being sentimental, but when Tao Tao heard Xiao Qiong's words, she seemed to feel Xiao Qiong's eyes looking over here.

I must have thought too much...

Tao Tao shook her head, shaking the thought out of her head, then raised her glass to toast with everyone.

So the four of them were talking and laughing while eating.

"Hey, Qianqian and Taozi, what are you going to do this holiday?"

While chatting, Xiao Lan seemed to suddenly remember something, then put down her chopsticks and looked at the two of them and asked.

"Well... I might go out and find a part-time job."

Meng Yuqian answered Xiao Lan with a smile without thinking for a while.

"Well, this is also very good, work-study!"

Xiao Lan smiled softly, then nodded in agreement.

And Tao Tao was speechless.

"What, senior sister, she is here to buy cosmetics and clothes."

Facing Tao Tao's merciless debunking of her, Meng Yuqian glared at the woman in front of her viciously.

Hmph, let you play me just now.

Tao Tao raised her chin proudly, then looked at Meng Yuqian who was on the verge of anger with the same mockery.

"Hahahahaha, so that's the case?"

Xiao Lan laughed hahaha upon hearing this.

"I……"

Sure enough, Meng Yuqian's small mouth, which has always been eloquent, can only open a few times now, unable to utter a word.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Tao Tao laughed wildly in her heart, you also have today.

"What about Little Peach?"

Sure enough, she still underestimated that woman.

Meng Yuqian raised her eyebrows, and then decisively threw the question to Tao Tao who was gloating.

amount……

Tao Tao choked.

"Well, me, I'm going to find a company for an internship."

Tao Tao thought for a while, and decided to speak out.

"Eh? Go for an internship. That's really good. You can exercise yourself. Aren't you guys graduating soon?"

Xiao Lan looked at Tao Tao after hearing this, and then nodded her head more appreciatively.

"Hahaha, yes, I thought so too.

Tao Tao stroked her hair and smiled.

"Where do you go for an internship?"

Xiao Qiong, who had been silent just now, suddenly asked.

Eh?
Tao Tao was startled for a moment, then froze.

I...how should I say this?
Tao Tao felt the gaze of the person next to her staring at her closely, and then swallowed.

"That...is me, the company of a friend I know."

Tao Tao didn't know where to put her awkward hands and feet.

Xiao Qiong next to her turned her head to look at Tao Tao after hearing this, and frowned.

Then Xiao Qiong didn't say a word in the following time.
