pick a peach essence

Meng Yuqian and Tao Tao returned to the dormitory after dinner, but Tao Tao was always restless.

She was very worried about Jiang Jinchen's side, afraid that something might go wrong.

But she didn't want to call him for fear of disturbing him.

Hey, so confusing.

Tao Tao was lying on the table in a dull mood, spinning her pen.

Meng Yuqian at the side finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"I said, little Taozi, if you're really worried, just give him a call."

"I, I'm afraid to disturb him."

Meng Yuqian patted her head hard.

"Do you want to bother me or not? Believe it or not, if you call him, he will be happier than anyone else."

Tao Tao hesitated.

"Otherwise, just send a text message."

Meng Yuqian pouted and continued to suggest.

"Well... that's fine."

Tao Tao finally nodded, then took out her phone and sent Jiang Jinchen a message.

"How's it going?"

After sending it, she put down her phone and waited quietly for a reply.

She thought that Jiang Jinchen would return to her after a long time, but Tao Tao just put down the phone when she called.

"Look!"

Meng Yuqian blinked at Tao Tao, motioning her to pick it up quickly.

"Hey?"

Tao Tao quickly answered the phone.

"How are you over there?"

Tao Tao clearly heard Jiang Jinchen sigh over there.

it's over...

The bad premonition in Tao Tao's heart became stronger.

"I'm still a step late."

There was an indescribable loss in Jiang Jinchen's tone.

Tao Tao didn't know what to say to comfort him, because she also knew this feeling.

When she was a child, the last time she saw her father was before she fell asleep. At that time, she didn't know that her parents were planning to divorce.

When she woke up, she found herself lying in her mother's arms, and her mother was crying secretly.

"Where's Dad?"

Tao Tao rubbed her eyes and sat up from her mother's arms, then asked.

That was the first time my mother was silent.

From that moment on, Tao Tao knew that she would never see her father again, she was one step late, and just that one step late, she lost him.

Tao Tao knew the pain, including until now, she still regretted it very much. Why did she have to fall asleep that day?

"What should I do, what should I do?"

Tao Tao seemed to choke up when she heard Jiang Jinchen.

"You still have me, Jiang Jinchen."

Tao Tao's heart was tugging all the time, she said it without thinking.

Jiang Jinchen suddenly fell silent.

In the next second, he finally burst out.

He softly recited Tao Tao's name while crying.

This man, this strong man, finally cried out to someone other than himself this time when he grew into an adult who could take care of himself.

Tao Tao was also driven by his emotions to shed tears.

Meng Yuqian sighed beside her, took out a tissue and put it in Tao Tao's hand, patted her on the shoulder, and walked out.

She knew the two of them needed a little space.

It took quite a while before Jiang Jinchen regained silence.

Tao Tao wiped the tears off her face, walked to the window and opened it.

At the same time, she also heard the whistling wind coming from the phone.

Tao Tao smiled.

In some things, the two people really have a tacit understanding.

"are you feeling better?"

Tao Tao asked softly.

"Well, better."

Jiang Jinchen smiled softly over there.

"It's really better after venting."

"Of course, I used to..."

Tao Tao stopped suddenly when she said this, it was already bad enough, why did she bring it up.

"Miss Peach, have you experienced such despair before?"

Jiang Jinchen heard Tao Tao hesitate to speak, so he asked.

"Well, yes, but it's over."

Tao Tao smiled indifferently, but only she knew the sadness in it.

"Do not lie to me."

Jiang Jinchen looked at the brightly lit street, closed his eyes and turned around.

"you……"

Tao Tao was stunned.

"Stupid child, how can the pain that a person has experienced that he will never forget for a lifetime pass away so easily."

"Maybe our memory will selectively forget them, but our heart will always reserve a place for them, and let it do whatever they want in our hearts."

What Jiang Jinchen said is right, human suffering will never die.

"However, we also cannot cling to the past."

Tao Tao said with a sigh.

"Yeah, we can't cling to the past, so let's use time to heal them."

"Nothing can withstand the passage of time. Over time, those wounds will heal."

But Tao Tao didn't agree with what Jiang Jinchen said.

"If time really heals everything, why do we still cling to the past?"

"Yeah, why?"

Jiang Jinchen curled his lips and smiled on the phone.

"But Tao Tao, if two people can heal each other, then we will get rid of these pains after all."

Heal each other?

Tao Tao suddenly realized what Jiang Jinchen said.

She understood what Jiang Jinchen meant. He hoped that the two of them could become each other's reliance and each other's good medicine.

"You're right."

Tao Tao smiled, got up and closed the window.

"Then Mr. Jiang, can I be your good medicine?"

Tao Tao asked with a smile.

"of course can."

Jiang Jinchen stretched out his hand and gently touched the photo of him and Tao Tao on the table, and smiled softly.

"you are my only."

The two chatted for a long time before hanging up the phone.

Tao Tao was very happy, she felt that her heart with Jiang Jinchen was getting closer.

Jiang Jinchen said on the phone that he would never miss it next time, Tao Tao nodded vigorously.

She felt that it was really not easy for Jiang Jinchen to get out of this shadow.

It's okay, next time, and next time.

He still has a next time, but with his persistence, there is no chance for a next time.

Tao Tao put down the phone and found the only photo of him and his father when he was a child in the phone.

She always believed that Jiang Jinchen's younger brother would return one day, but when would her father return to her side again.

Thinking of this, Tao Tao accidentally fell into a deep sleep.

"Hey, this kid."

As soon as Meng Yuqian came back, she saw Tao Tao lying on the table and falling asleep.

She glanced at Tao Tao's thin pajamas and sighed.

Not afraid of catching a cold.

While shaking her head, she picked up a piece of clothing and covered her body.

Then she stroked Tao Tao's hair, poured her a glass of milk and put it on the table.

"flourishing……"

After a long time, Tao Tao finally woke up.

"You've been asleep for hours."

Meng Yuqian recovered from the book, turned her head and looked at Tao Tao with concern.

"How's it going?"

"Well, it's all resolved, although...his brother hasn't been found yet."

Tao Tao saw the milk on the table at a glance, she turned her head and smiled sweetly at Meng Yuqian.

Meng Yuqian waved her hands pretending to be disgusted.

"Ahem, is his mood stable?"

"Well, it's stable."

Tao Tao nodded vigorously when she said this.

"Thank you for being here."

Looking at Tao Tao's hazy face under the light, Meng Yuqian sighed.

"Eh?"

Tao Tao looked at Meng Yuqian who was suddenly unpredictable.

"Don't you understand? The only one who can heal the pain of losing his brother is you."

"I……"

Tao Tao knew that Meng Yuqian and Jiang Jinchen actually meant the same thing, but...

She still has some concerns, she is afraid that she does not have the qualifications.

"Don't worry about Tao Tao anymore."

"You can be braver."

Meng Yuqian walked over and patted her on the shoulder.

"You have the same status in his heart as his younger brother. The person he cares most about is actually you."

Tao Tao stared at Meng Yuqian with wide eyes.

Meng Yuqian smiled and stroked her soft hair.

"Don't worry Tao Tao, time will tell, you are very important to him."

After Meng Yuqian finished speaking, she went back to continue reading.

"Calm down, little Taozi."

"it is good."

Tao Tao drank the glass of milk, looked at the desk lamp on the desk, and fell into deep thought by the dim light.

She originally thought that she could be Jiang Jinchen's good medicine to heal his pain, but she never thought that she could completely fill the vacancy in his heart.

"you are my only."

Tao Tao suddenly remembered what Jiang Jinchen said to herself after hanging up the phone.

Can I be his only one too?
Tao Tao thought suspiciously.

In fact, she felt that what Meng Yuqian said just now was right, because she too, after meeting Jiang Jinchen, seldom thought of her father.

People say that when a person is free, he will think wildly, but when a person is busy, he will stop thinking about those messy things.

But now Tao Tao is surprised to find that whether she is idle or busy, she always thinks about someone.

Jiang Jinchen.

Now Tao Tao finally understands that one person can really be another person's salvation.

It is not to replace someone as a substitute for that person, but to become the most important person to him.

It has nothing to do with any feelings, just because it's you.

"Get up soon, little Taozi."

The next morning, Tao Tao was still picked up from the bed by Meng Yuqian.

She thought about a lot of things last night, which led to her complete absence today.

"I said, little Taozi, I want you to think about the relationship between the two of you, not to... think about life."

Meng Yuqian watched Tao Tao staggered to the bathroom, covering her face helplessly.

It's over, this is the first time Tao Tao has experienced such a situation, and today she has to check the manuscript with Teacher Xiao...

"No! Tao Tao!"

Meng Yuqian rushed into the toilet, then grabbed Tao Tao's arm and let out the hot water in the pool she had just filled.

"What are you doing, Qianqian..."

Tao Tao blinked her eyes and looked at the woman who didn't seem to have a very good expression in doubt.

"You have to wake me up."

After Meng Yuqian finished speaking, she turned on the tap and filled it with cold water, then picked up the towel and looked at Tao Tao from the side.

"wash!"

"No, it's too cold..."

Tao Tao decisively refused.

"Impossible, you must be sober to see Mr. Xiao today."

Otherwise, it is easy to cause big trouble...

Meng Yuqian complained silently in her heart.
