pick a peach essence

Time passed by like this bit by bit. Except for Meng Yuqian and that boy who had been chatting, Tao Tao and Jiang Jinchen were very peaceful.

They still eat together every night, and Tao Tao will also go to Jiang Jinchen's company to handle some simple tasks for him on weekends.

In the blink of an eye, it was the week before the competition, and she also received a text message from Xiao Qiong that night.

Xiao Qiong said in a text message that starting from the next day, she would spend three hours a day studying with him.

Tao Tao replied a good one.

Meng Yuqian has been telling herself about the two of them for a while.

One of the protagonists is the peach-eyed boy.

Tao Tao learned the boy's name from Meng Yuqian, Su Mosheng.

Then the two of them sat together and lamented crazily that this is really a very meaningful name with a deep meaning.

However, student Su's explanation was a blow to the two of them.

"Because when my mother was giving birth to me, my grandma happened to be washing clothes, and the water was full of white foam."

Well, now the two of them no longer have such beautiful fantasies.

Meng Yuqian told her that Su Mosheng belonged to the school's basketball club and was a year younger than them.

Tao Tao narrowed her eyes and looked at Meng Yuqian, then said.

"A wave of sibling love?"

"What! We are the same age."

It was only later that she found out that this junior who was the same age as the two of them was admitted after a year of repetition. I heard that the school he first wanted was one of the best universities in the country.

"So, which department is he from?"

"Department of Mathematics."

Yep, another miraculous science master.

But what puzzles Tao Tao is that the science master still likes to play basketball.

Meng Yuqian said that the two of them had talked a lot these days, all about things around them.

Like a friend.

However, Tao Tao expressed his disapproval.

Just wait, that classmate Su will show his feet one day.

Tao Tao said goodbye to Meng Yuqian after class on Monday and went to Xiao Qiong's office.

Since the competition will be held next Monday, there is exactly one week to prepare.

However, the first thing Xiao Qiong said when he saw Tao Tao was.

"You should have nothing special to prepare."

Listen, listen, is this a human language?

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"What? Can't I call you over if I have nothing to do?"

Tao Tao was speechless.

"Teacher Xiao."

Then she called out these three words on purpose, wanting him to straighten his position.

Turns out she overestimated Xiao Joon.

"Here, is there something wrong, Classmate Tao Tao?"

never mind.

Tao Tao resigned herself to her fate and sat on the chair.

"So you have other plans, don't you?"

"You guessed it right."

Xiao Qiong nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and then took out a few books from the bookshelf.

"bring it on."

Xiao Qiong suddenly picked up the glasses on the table and put them on.

Is he nearsighted?

Then Tao Tao was surprised to find that it turned out to be a plain mirror...

Tao Tao looked at the man in front of her, and suddenly four words appeared in her mind.

Sven scum.

"I'd better take advantage of these few days to tell you more about skills and expand your knowledge. The rest depends on your luck."

Ok.

Tao Tao nodded clearly, she is also in charge of Teacher Xiao today.

But in the end, Tao Tao was really immersed in Xiao Qiong's cultural strategy.

She sighed once again, Xiao Qiong is not very normal, but his literary quality is still very high.

"Okay, let's go here today."

Xiao Qiong tidied up the books, and then threw one of them to Tao Tao.

"Take this back and take a look at it casually."

"OK, all right."

Xiao Qiong nodded and continued.

"Okay, let's go, don't delay your date."

Tao Tao stood still for a moment, then ran out holding the book without looking back.

"But it's only been a few days."

Xiao Qiong whispered these words behind his back.

The next few days were repeated, and on Wednesday, Tao Tao suddenly received a call from Jiang Jinchen.

"I'm sorry, Miss Taozi, I'm going on a business trip abroad tomorrow."

Jiang Jinchen's guilty voice came from the phone.

"It's okay, you can go, but you have to work hard again."

Tao Tao thought distressedly.

"But in this way, I may not be able to make it back when you play."

Tao Tao finally understood what Jiang Jinchen was worried about.

"Really, what are you thinking?"

"It's not just this time, I will continue to participate next time, so I'll come back when the time comes."

Jiang Jinchen finally curled up his mouth and smiled when he heard it.

"Well, it's a pity, I'm going to miss this time."

"If you miss this time, there are still so many times in your life waiting for you."

"Hahaha."

Jiang Jinchen laughed out loud.

"Okay, I'm waiting for our countless times in the future."

"That's right."

After Tao Tao hung up the phone, she sent several messages to Jiang Jinchen, telling him to wear more clothes, eat well, and not be too tired.

Jiang Jinchen laughed at when she became an old lady like him.

"It's not for your own good!"

Tao Tao arrogantly tapped on the keyboard.

Meng Yuqian on the side watched Tao Tao's grin reaching behind the ears and the corners of her mouth never coming down.

Gee tut.

woman in love.

Meng Yuqian continued to chat with classmate Su while thinking about it.

Jiang Jinchen left the city on the plane that night, Tao Tao thought regretfully that he should go see him off, but Jiang Jinchen refused decisively.

He said it was too dangerous at that late hour.

Tao Tao had no choice but to give up.

So the next day, Tao Tao came to Xiao Qiong's office again after class.

Still everything is normal.

However, the only abnormal thing was that Xiao Qiong suddenly stopped Tao Tao when she was about to leave.

"Let's have a meal together."

Tao Tao turned her head in doubt.

"Oh no, I'm still with Jiang..."

"Isn't he on a business trip?"

Xiao Qiong pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at her leisurely.

"I, I'm not very hungry."

Tao Tao pulled up the corners of her mouth and smiled awkwardly.

"It's okay, you'll get hungry after you eat."

Xiao Qiong stood up from the chair, and before Tao Tao agreed, he pulled her into his car.

"Teacher Xiao."

Tao Tao looked at his locked door, turned her head and emphasized those three words again.

"Don't stress, I know I'm your teacher."

Xiao Qiong turned his head and stared at her inexplicably.

"But I also said that I can change my identity in your heart at will."

Tao Tao seemed to see a slight reflection in his glasses.

Very dangerous.

Xiao Qiong took her to a western restaurant.

Then he thoughtfully ordered the dishes, and watched Tao Tao remain motionless.

"What are you staring at me for?"

Tao Tao was very uncomfortable being looked at by him, she just wanted to end the meal quickly.

"beautiful."

Xiao Qiong suddenly said this sentence without beginning or end.

"You, what did you say?"

Tao Tao frowned, trying to see a little joke in his eyes, but she failed.

"I am telling the truth."

Xiao Qiong smiled at him.

"Better than when you were a child."

Sure enough, Tao Tao heard him mention things about her childhood.

"Thank you."

She tried hard to control her emotions, and squeezed out these two words from between her teeth.

"You're welcome."

Sure enough, this man would never let himself suffer.

"No wonder Jiang Jinchen never forgets you."

"Don't mention him."

Tao Tao hated hearing Jiang Jinchen's name from Xiao Qiong's mouth, and felt strange for no reason.

"Arguing? No way."

"we are doing well."

Tao Tao looked at Xiao Qiong expressionlessly.

"Oh, do you want to say, we are fine, don't worry about it?"

Sure enough, he was a smart man.

Tao Tao curled her lips, but in the end she still didn't dare to provoke him.

Fortunately, the food was served soon.

Xiao Qiong took the steak in front of Tao Tao, then carefully cut it into small pieces, and handed it to her.

Tao Tao held the knife and fork in a daze, not daring to move.

"Eat it, it's not poisonous."

Xiao Qiong continued to cut the steak on her plate, then raised her head and glanced at Tao Tao.

Tao Tao inserted a piece into her mouth without a soul.

"Why can't you just look at me?"

"What, what?"

Tao Tao frowned and looked at the man who was cutting steak with his head down, and was shocked by his words.

What does he mean?
Then Xiao Qiong shook his head when he heard it, and didn't say another word.

The two finished the meal in embarrassment.

Xiao Qiong thoughtfully sent Tao Tao back to school, driving very slowly along the way.

Tao Tao has been leaning on the chair, watching the scenery outside the window.

Xiao Qiong stopped the car.

Tao Tao unbuckled the seat belt, and waited for a long time, but he didn't open the lock.

"you……"

Tao Tao turned her head and was about to speak when she was suddenly stunned by Xiao Qiong's gaze.

I saw Xiao Qiong was staring closely at the girl's eyes, with an expression that could not reveal any emotion.

"I obviously appeared two years earlier than him."

"You, what are you talking about?"

Tao Tao tried to open the car door with her hands, but found it was useless.

"Why can't you just look at me more."

"Don't do that."

Now Tao Tao actually saw...remorse in Xiao Qiong's eyes.

Her heart was pulled hard.

After that, Xiao Qiong was silent again, but Tao Tao felt that this time he seemed to hesitate to speak.

Xiao Qiong stretched out his hand suddenly, wanting to touch Tao Tao's hair, but Tao Tao avoided it all at once.

Even she herself was stunned.

Xiao Qiong's hand stopped in place in embarrassment.

"I……"

"You go."

Xiao Qiong put down her hand, then turned her head and said to Tao Tao.

Tao Tao pursed her lips, but before she could say a word, she opened the car door and walked out.

She quickly walked back to the dormitory, but she couldn't control herself from turning her head. Sure enough, she saw the man who was looking at her through the car window.

The two were too far apart to see their expressions clearly.

So Tao Tao didn't see that Xiao Qiong's dark pupils were full of loneliness.

Tao Tao returned to the bedroom in a low voice.

Meng Yuqian suddenly noticed that her emotions were wrong.

"What's wrong with you, little Taozi."

She quickly walked to her side and sat down.

"flourishing……"

"Well, I'm here."

Tao Tao leaned gently on Meng Yuqian's shoulder.

"You said, if there is no child who grows up in love, isn't it very pitiful?"

Meng Yuqian was stunned for a moment, she thought for a long time before she knew how to answer.

"Yes, compared to normal children, they lack the innocence of childhood."

"I think they will still lack this love until they grow up."

"So, we should try to care for these people."

After Tao Tao heard it, she nodded slightly.

"Why did you suddenly remember to ask this question?"

Meng Yuqian felt something was wrong, very wrong.

"I was thinking, if such people make mistakes, should we forgive them."

Meng Yuqian nodded.

"If that's the case...then you can try to understand why they made mistakes."

Tao Tao suddenly understood something this time.
