pick a peach essence

Xiao Qiong brought Tao Tao to a cheap restaurant, and Tao Tao was so excited that she was about to cry.

Today Young Master Xiao seems to want to experience the life of a commoner.

Tao Tao generously handed the menu to Xiao Qiong, and then smiled generously.

"Order whatever you want."

Xiao Qiong raised her eyebrows, and then took it.

He ordered a few home-cooked dishes in a face-saving manner, and the two of them waited quietly.

During this period, Xiao Qiong never looked away from Tao Tao.

"I said Teacher Xiao..."

Tao Tao finally couldn't bear it anymore, she raised her head and looked at the glasses on Xiao Qiong's bridge of nose.

"Why do you keep staring at me?"

"Because you are beautiful and delicious."

Tao Tao suspected that her ears had misheard.

Is this Xiao Qiong himself?
However, Xiao Qiong continued to stare at her fearlessly.

Tao Tao had no choice but to compromise in the end, just look at it, and there will be no loss of meat.

Soon the waiters brought the dishes one after another.

Xiao Qiong gracefully picked up the chopsticks, then glanced at Tao Tao who was in a daze.

"Eat."

Tao Tao curled her lips, then picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

This is my own money, so I must eat more.

Xiao Qiong looked at Tao Tao who was frantically feeding food into her mouth, and suddenly felt that she was as cute as a little hamster.

"Eat slowly, no one will grab you."

Tao Tao raised her head and glanced at Xiao Qiong's plate full of food, and rolled her eyes in disdain.

Only fools believe.

Both of them seemed to be really hungry, or the food was too good, or maybe they ordered something else.

Anyway, two people ended up eating all the food on the table.

Tao Tao touched her slightly bulging stomach, wondering whether she would gain weight tomorrow.

Xiao Qiong took out a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth leisurely, then picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

"not bad."

Young Master Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

Tao Tao glared at him, then got up to pay the bill.

She originally thought that Xiao Qiong would pretend to be polite to stop her, but in the end...

"Be careful on the road."

I bother!

Tao Tao punched him in the air from behind, and then ran to pay the bill.

Tao Tao took the bill, and finally gritted her teeth and raised her phone to pay.

She looked at the three-digit number of successful payment on her mobile phone, and touched the screen distressedly.

It's okay.

Bankruptcy avoids disaster, bankruptcy avoids disaster.

Tao Tao comforted herself while walking back to her seat slowly.

At this time, the two of them were walking back to school, and Tao Tao kept her head down and wept silently in her heart.

She thought about a particularly beautiful dress she saw a few days ago...

I originally planned to buy it back if the speech was successful.

But now, it's all gone.

Tao Tao raised her head and glanced at the road ahead, and saw her beloved little skirt waving to her in a daze.

"Don't be dazed while walking."

Xiao Qiong at the side finally couldn't stand it anymore, he grabbed Tao Tao's hand, and then dragged her in front of him.

"Why, eat a meal and eat up your soul?"

……

Tao Tao looked at Xiao Qiong pitifully, but felt more and more that he deserved a beating.

"I'm paying homage to my lost little dress."

Xiao Qiong twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly.

"Exit."

After the man finished speaking, he walked out without looking back.

dog man...

Tao Tao cried silently in her heart while scolding Xiao Qiong hundreds of times.

She continued walking forward with her head bowed.

After walking for a while, an ice cream suddenly appeared in front of her.

Tao Tao looked up suspiciously, and saw Xiao Qiong holding two pink ice creams with an awkward expression, and held them up in front of her.

"You are..."

"Are you going to eat?"

Asking others to eat ice cream is still so overbearing?

"Eat, why not eat."

Tao Tao gritted her teeth and took the ice cream, put it near her mouth and took a bite.

"Delicious……"

Tao Tao's lips and teeth are filled with the fragrance of strawberries.

She glanced at Xiao Qiong quietly, and found that he was frowning and savoring carefully.

"You like strawberries too?"

She looked at the pink ice cream in the man's hand that was exactly the same as her own, and raised her eyebrows.

"It's the only flavor left in the store."

Xiao Qiong glanced at her speechlessly.

"I see."

Tao Tao decided not to expose him anymore.

In fact, I stayed with Xiao Qiong all day today, and I didn't have the awkward feeling before.

It may be because the two are familiar with each other, or it may be because...

A word Meng Yuqian said to herself that day.

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

Maybe she could try to get to know this man.

Maybe we can be friends too, can't we?
"Do you want to go for a walk in the park?"

Xiao Qiong glanced at the park not far away, and asked Tao Tao.

Tao Tao agreed without hesitation this time.

"Okay."

So the two walked towards the park while eating ice cream.

As soon as the two entered the park, they saw a bunch of children playing there.

At this moment, a little girl bumped into Xiao Qiong's leg suddenly, Tao Tao was startled, and then quickly reacted and wanted to help her up.

As a result, before she could make a move, Xiao Qiong made a move.

He gently lifted the little girl up and patted the dust off her skirt.

"Are you OK?"

He looked at her carefully, and when he saw that the girl was not injured, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Tao Tao stared blankly at the scene in front of her.

She thought Xiao Qiong would kick that child away.

Tao Tao helped her forehead in embarrassment, wondering if she was a little abnormal...

The little girl grinned at Xiao Qiong.

"I'm fine, brother."

Xiao Qiong nodded when she heard it, and then rubbed her hair.

"Be careful in the future and go play."

Tao Tao looked at the back of the little girl going away, and suddenly felt that Xiao Qiong was also a very gentle person.

only……

Why did he become what he is now?
"She looks like you."

"Eh?"

Tao Tao suddenly heard such inexplicable words from Xiao Qiong's mouth.

"I said, she looks like you."

"With you as a child."

Xiao Qiong turned to look at Tao Tao while talking, but this time Tao Tao actually saw a little fluctuation in Xiao Qiong's pupils.

His eyes... seemed a little gentle.

This time Tao Tao decided to try to hear about his past.

"Why do you say that?"

The two were walking and talking.

"Because it was the same when you were a child. Even if you fell down, you would stand up by yourself and say with a smile that I'm fine."

Tao Tao suddenly fell silent after hearing this.

Was she really a strong child when she was young?
In fact, Tao Tao knew that the reason why she did this was because she was afraid that if she cried after falling down, no one would come to comfort her.

That was really embarrassing, embarrassing, and she was afraid that others would laugh at her.

Therefore, she decided to show her indifference and strength every time she was hurt, to cover up the fact that no one comforted her.

"Maybe……"

Tao Tao raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.

"Actually, if I hadn't met you when I was young, I probably wouldn't have grown up safely."

Looking at the pedestrians in twos and threes in the distance, Xiao Qiong suddenly found that the world is really big, so big that even if two people are standing beside each other at this moment, their hearts are far away.

For example, himself, and his so-called family members.

"you……"

Tao Tao didn't know what she did at that time that could change Xiao Qiong's life?
"At that time, it was the time when I was most desperate."

"As a kid, I got hurt every day."

When Xiao Qiong said this, he suddenly smiled.

"I'm not just talking about the heart, but the body."

"Why? Did someone bully you?"

Tao Tao was puzzled, because according to what she knew, Xiao Qiong should have been born in a wealthy family, how could someone bully the young master of such a rich family?
"Yes, someone bullied me."

Xiao Qiong nodded.

"It's just...that person is me."

Tao Tao was stunned for a moment.

"From my birth until that time, my so-called father hardly ever came home, and my mother..."

"Also hardly talks to me."

"At that time, I was still foolishly trying to get their attention."

Xiao Qiong sneered.

"At the beginning, I studied hard and got the first place in the school. All the teachers in the school praised me. Later, I found out that they were just flattering me. Those praises and recognitions were all fake."

"But that didn't catch their attention."

Tao Tao suddenly felt that Xiao Qiong was really pitiful when she was young.

"Later, I gave up the plan and changed to another way that was completely opposite to this one."

"I caused trouble at school every day, bullied my classmates and contradicted my teachers."

"only……"

Tao Tao had already foreseen the outcome of this matter.

"Students dare not tell their parents. Even if they tell, their parents dare not come to the teacher."

"And the teachers didn't dare to criticize me, and they didn't even dare to talk to my parents."

"Because they are all jealous of you, aren't they?"

Tao Tao seemed to understand.

"Yes."

Xiao Qiong nodded, then took Tao Tao to a pavilion and sat down.

"So, every time I hurt myself in various ways, I went home and tried to get a look from my mother."

"result……"

"As a result, nothing changed at all."

Tao Tao sighed, then looked at Xiao Qiong with distress.

Now, she finally understood where this man's indifference came from.

From one's own relatives, one's own close relatives.

This is the most ironic.

Tao Tao felt that it was really not easy for Xiao Qiong to grow up healthy and safe.

"It was only later that I realized that every time I hurt myself like this, it only made my sister sadder."

"So, I'm going to take good care of myself for the only one who loves me."

Xiao Qiong turned to look at Tao Tao.

"You must have hated me before."

"I……"

Tao Tao didn't know what to say?hate it?Not really, it's just a little... annoying.

"I know, I've done a lot of wrong things in the past, but it's all because of..."

When Xiao Qiong said this, he suddenly stopped what he was going to say next.

"You said a word at that time, which completely changed me."

Tao Tao looked at him suspiciously.

"Because I believe that everything I do now can definitely change the future."

"This is what you said to me at the time, verbatim, and I remembered it for 13 years."

"you……"

Tao Tao was completely speechless at this time, she didn't know that she would say such a thing.

"It's this sentence that made me realize, so what if there is no one who loves me? After all, there is still myself, loving this lonely soul deeply."

"I want to be, a person who only loves himself."

Xiao Qiong looked at the sky dyed red by the setting sun, and fell into infinite memories.

"But what's ridiculous is that after you finished saying this, you ran to Jiang Jinchen's side."
