Chapter 73 That Glass of Water

Then Meng Yuqian gently pressed Tao Tao's face in while thinking.

However, Tao Tao only felt a burst of suffocation.

this woman...

Meng Yuqian ignored Tao Tao who was still thumping, and nodded with satisfaction while holding the towel, and then continued to exert force with her hands.

After a while, Meng Yuqian gently lifted her out again.

"Come on, wipe off quickly, don't catch a cold."

Meng Yuqian put the towel on Tao Tao's hand with a smile.

Tao Tao rolled her eyes, she was really awake now, and almost left this beautiful world.

So the child spent the whole morning arrogantly ignoring himself.

Meng Yuqian thought it was time to give her a profound family education.

The morning class is over quickly, and Tao Tao will go to Xiao Qiong's office in the afternoon to do the final proofreading.

"Cough cough."

Seeing that the two of them were about to part ways, Tao Tao coughed twice on purpose.

Meng Yuqian rolled her eyes in her heart.

"What?"

"Well, everything went according to plan."

Tao Tao once again arrogantly dropped this sentence, turned around and left without looking back.

She thought she was very chic, but in Meng Yuqian's eyes, she really deserved a beating.

Meng Yuqian clenched her fists and stared viciously at the woman's back, but she was still guarding her phone really sweetly at night, worrying why Tao Tao hadn't come back yet.

"Knock down."

Tao Tao knocked on Xiao Qiong's office door.

This familiar scene made Tao Tao so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry...

"Enter."

Tao Tao pushed the door open and walked in, unexpectedly saw another person sitting in Xiao Qiong's office.

This back...

Why are you so familiar?

Tao Tao looked at the gray hair of the person in front of her, but she still had a very tall and straight figure.

Then she called out his name the moment the man turned his head.

"Professor Jiang?"

When Tao Tao saw his smiling eyes, she was even more sure that this person was Professor Jiang Shangcheng who was invited by the school last semester.

Such a coincidence?
"Eh? Isn't this the girl Jiang Jinchen likes?"

Relying on his self-confident memory over the years, Professor Jiang said a word loudly in front of everyone.

Tao Tao, who was about to close the door in fright, almost caught her fingers.

"Ha, ha, it's me."

Tao Tao laughed awkwardly, then quickly walked up to Professor Jiang and greeted him.

"Hello, Professor Jiang."

"Oh, well, well, speaking of it, we are really destined, this kid Jiang Jinchen is really..."

"professor."

However, before Professor Jiang could finish speaking, Xiao Qiong who was sitting in front of him stopped him.

"The materials have all been printed."

As he spoke, he put a dozen materials in Professor Jiang's hand, and then stood up.

"Let's go to a meeting."

"Ah, yes, I'd almost forget if you didn't tell me, my memory is getting worse and worse..."

Professor Jiang shook his head while stroking the beard on his chin.

Tao Tao twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment.

She suspected that Professor Jiang was unrivaled in remembering gossip.

"Then I'm leaving, remember to come to my house for dinner with Jiang Jinchen in the future."

Professor Jiang patted Tao Tao's shoulder with a smile, giving his final instructions.

Tao Tao was speechless listening to Professor Jiang's three words of Jiang Jinchen's, and just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

She raised her head to look at Xiao Qiong's darkening face, and swallowed.

It's not my fault, is it?
Then she watched the two big Buddhas go out with a helpless expression.

"I'll be right back."

The moment Xiao Qiong closed the door, he threw these words at Tao Tao.

Tao Tao sighed, and then sat on Professor Jiang's chair just now.

She took out the manuscript and planned to perfect it now.

It's just that when she looked at it, her attention was accidentally attracted by Xiao Qiong's desk.

In fact, there is nothing superfluous except for a few books, except for a photo frame.

Tao Tao had sat here several times before, but she hadn't observed the table carefully. Now when she looked at it, she found that wooden thing that was out of place with the surroundings.

That is a picture frame.

Tao Tao gently picked it up curiously, and what caught her eyes was a photo she was very familiar with.

I saw it in Li Huan's circle of friends a while ago.

Photos of their family of four.

Mom, sister, younger sister, and himself.

Tao Tao was very puzzled, why did he put this photo on his desk?
So out of place.

She thought that Xiao Qiong would not love anyone except her sister Xiao Lan, but now she felt that she was wrong.

Xiao Qiong is also a person with flesh and blood and feelings.

Although they are said to be using each other, but...

Tao Tao believes that Li Huan took care of the two children for several years when they were most desperate and lonely, and they will never forget this feeling and companionship.

After all, they were just three poor and stubborn children.

Tao Tao sighed and put the photo back to its original place.

It is said that people's feelings are the most inexplicable, and she really believes this sentence.

She could imagine what it was that made the three children what they were.

Finally she summed up a word, love.

It was love, the missing love, that changed them.

But... these have nothing to do with me.

Tao Tao felt that she was neither the Holy Mother nor the Bodhisattva of the world, so she had no need to pity them, not to mention that they might not need pity from others.

Just take care of myself.

Tao Tao sighed and continued to read her manuscript.

"Buzzing."

At this moment, Tao Tao's cell phone rang, this time she did not turn it to silent, because she was afraid of missing Jiang Jinchen's news.

"Hey?"

Tao Tao smiled, put down her pen and picked up the phone.

"what are you doing?"

Jiang Jinchen's gentle voice came from the phone.

"Preparing for the game."

Tao Tao said to Jiang Jinchen.

"Thank you, my Miss Peach."

"Hahaha, what are you working hard for?"

No matter how Tao Tao heard it, she felt that Jiang Jinchen was acting like a baby. This man...

"What would you like to eat tonight?"

Jiang Jinchen's main purpose of making this call was actually to ask her what to eat.

"Um……"

In fact, Tao Tao really didn't have anything in particular he wanted to eat.

"Or you can decide, I don't have anything in particular to eat."

"OK then."

Jiang Jinchen nodded over there.

"Would you like to try my handicraft?"

"Eh?"

Tao Tao was really scared this time.

"Can you cook?"

She never thought that Jiang Jinchen could cook.

"Of course."

Jiang Jinchen laughed very badly.

"That's settled then."

"Um, okay."

Tao Tao couldn't restrain her happiness and laughed.

Now she can imagine Jiang Jinchen cooking, and she is really afraid that he will blow up the kitchen.

"are you……"

Hearing Tao Tao's strange laughter, Jiang Jinchen felt something was wrong.

"No, I believe you can do well."

After Tao Tao heard it, she quickly waved her hands and explained, but Jiang Jinchen didn't believe it.

"Okay, you don't believe me."

Jiang Jinchen clicked his tongue twice.

"You will regret this."

Listening to Jiang Jinchen's arrogant voice, Tao Tao couldn't help laughing anymore.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, I believe it, can't I believe it?"

Jiang Jinchen fell silent.

"You wait."

Then he finally said a harsh word, and there was no more sound.

Tao Tao finally suppressed her laugh, and then tentatively gave a feed.

"what?"

So cute.

This is the first time Tao Tao thinks that Jiang Jinchen is really a treasure.

"Okay, okay, I believe you can't do it."

Tao Tao finally compromised.

"Okay then, I'll come pick you up tonight."

"Know it."

Tao Tao nodded, agreed, and then hung up the phone.

"Really are……"

Tao Tao shook her head helplessly, but couldn't stop the smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Finished?"

"Well, it's over."

Tao Tao answered happily.

Eh, wait...

She belatedly realized something was wrong, she turned her head and saw Xiao Qiong leaning on the door with her arms folded.

Then she felt a murderous aura.

It’s over.

She was so absorbed just now that she didn't hear the sound of the door opening.

"You, you are back."

Tao Tao stood up from the chair all of a sudden, and then showed a smirk.

Xiao Qiong frowned.

"It's been a long time since I came back."

"Uh……"

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

Fortunately, the murderous aura on Xiao Qiong disappeared quickly, and then he smiled at Tao Tao, and walked back to the table.

"sit down."

Tao Tao wiped the cold sweat off her forehead, and looked at Xiao Qiong's sudden expression suspiciously.

She feels that Xiao Qiong has become more and more strange recently...

Can't tell the feeling.

"Manuscript."

"Ah, here it is."

Tao Tao hurriedly handed him the manuscript after hearing it.

Then the two fell into silence, and the sound of footsteps back and forth in the corridor could be heard in the quiet surroundings.

After a long time, Xiao Qiong finally spoke.

"very good."

He nodded and returned the manuscript to her.

"There is no need to change it anymore, you can just follow this."

"Ok."

Tao Tao took the manuscript and put it on the table.

"Then I'll tell you some tricks."

Xiao Qiong poured Tao Tao a glass of water again and placed it in front of her.

Tao Tao remained motionless.

Xiao Qiong smiled indifferently, then took out a book and asked her to come closer, and explained it to her softly.

The two quickly fell into it.

This rare and beautiful atmosphere was broken by Tao Tao's call.

Tao Tao was so frightened that she became alert, and then she quickly glanced at Xiao Qiong with apologetic expressions, then turned around and answered the phone.

"Little Taozi, where are you, come back quickly, our water pipe is broken, I don't know how to fix it..."

Meng Yuqian's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, and it kept echoing in the quiet office.

Tao Tao quietly glanced at Xiao Qiong, only to see him smile knowingly, then put away the books and walked to the bookshelf.

"Okay, I'll be right back."

"that……"

Tao Tao looked at Xiao Qiong's seemingly lonely background, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Go back."

"it is good……"

Tao Tao packed up her things, then turned around and walked out.

Just when she was about to turn around, she suddenly saw the glass of water that was already cold on the table.

She glanced at Xiao Qiong's back, then hesitated for a moment, and still took a sip from the cup.

Xiao Qiong turned around only after hearing the sound of closing the door, looked at the gently shaking water in the cup, and lowered her head.
