After the little singer marks the big sister Gao Leng

"That night at Quexian Bridge, I made you laugh." Tao Xiaoyu ignored Tang Manchun's urging, and smiled at Yuan Xitong with a little apology.

"No, on the contrary, I think it's great to meet you that night." Yuan Xitong's eyes were still as soft as water.

"Hey, you two are really too much! Do you treat me like air?" Tang Manchun pretended to be angry.

Tao Xiaoyu had no choice but to tell her about meeting Yuan Xitong in Quexian Bridge.

"So, that night, Xitong—" after Tao Xiaoyu finished speaking, Tang Manchun pointed to the sky and said, "Did you see my sister too?"

"If you mean the elder sister who went to pick up Xiaoyu." After Yuan Xitong finished speaking, she nodded, her eyes always stayed on Tao Xiaoyu.

The three women chatted for a while, with constant laughter. The scene was like an incomparably bright spring, the unique vitality of young women, and the incomparably sweet voice made the surrounding air brighter.

In the end, Yuan Xitong followed Tang Manchun to send Tao Xiaoyu outside the gallery.

"Goodbye." Tao Xiaoyu, who was walking in the front, looked back and waved his left hand to the two women who were standing still behind him.

"Xiaoyu—" Yuan Xitong stopped her, "I'm really happy to see you again, will we have a chance to hang out together in the future?"

Tao Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Okay, if the time is convenient, of course there is no problem."

Tang Manchun gave Tao Xiaoyu a meaningful look, and said, "Hey, some people are either in love or on the way to love. When will it be my turn to have a sweet love?"

Tao Xiaoyu didn't pay attention to his friend's teasing, and just smiled and said, "When you are willing to spare some time for the person who is chasing you! Seriously, Manchun, I want to have more relationships when I am young, I am always busy. Don’t you think it’s a waste to just keep doing things?”

"Look at her proud look!"

Yuan Xitong stared at Tao Xiaoyu, thinking who was so lucky to be liked by this beautiful woman like a sunflower?

Ever since Tang Manwen took the initiative to say that she was in Shanghai, Tao Xiaoyu often couldn't help sending her messages during busy breaks, or every morning, or even at night.

"Sister Manwen, this evening, the sunset glow on Ludao is pink (attached photo)."

"Morning, Sister Manwen, the pylons I planted are blooming well (attached photo)."

"It's thundering... It's raining. It's so comfortable to sleep listening to the sound of rain (a short recording)."

"We're going to the concert tonight."

"It's so hot today, summer is coming soon."

"Sister Manwen, when are you going back to Ludao?"...

Most of the time, Tang Manwen did not reply to messages.

Therefore, Tao Xiaoyu often just sends some messages that don't require a reply.

She knew that on the surface, there was no substantive progress between the two of them, but after that night and the subsequent Cai Chengmin incident, inexplicably, she felt as if she was always being pulled by an invisible force, making her I always think of Tang Manwen.

Tao Xiaoyu understood that that emotion was different from gratitude.

Among adults, sometimes silence can have another interpretation, so she continued to let herself fall without Tang Manwen's rejection.

Time passed quietly, and on the afternoon of a Tuesday near May, on the way home, Tao Xiaoyu saw a shouting graffiti on the wall by the side of the road——

Don't think that likes are inexhaustible! !

The white lettering was painted on the dark blue wall, as sad as the pale clouds in the sky.

What kind of bewildered voice is this?It must be young and boring, and it must be trapped in the quagmire of not being able to love.Tao Xiaoyu stopped, staring at the words on the wall again, thinking of herself, suddenly felt sad, so, when will my love for Tang Manwen be exhausted?

That's how she is, oscillating between hope and despair.

In fact, she has no self-confidence, Tang Manwen may not care at all, and she does not care about her wishful liking.

So, on this day, she decided not to send Tang Manwen those messages that never came back.

Late at night, when tossing and turning, Tao Xiaoyu picked up the phone and was about to watch a movie, but found a new message from Tang Manwen floating on the screen——

"I am back."

A lonely, very short sentence.

Click in and take a look, there are no redundant words, and no redundant feelings.

Tao Xiaoyu thought, maybe, she was replying to a message from many days ago.But seeing that the message was sent at 12:30, she felt even less sleepy now.

Questions such as "Are you home?", "Are you tired, is the road going well?", "I'll treat you to dinner when you're free" flashed through her mind, but she didn't want to wait until the news was sent. I couldn't sleep until dawn because I was waiting for her reply. What's more, her message was not the type that had to be replied.

So, Tao Xiaoyu decisively swiped open the WeChat interface and opened an old movie.

After watching "Breakfast at Tiffany's", she shared "Moon River" by Audrey Hepburn with the text "The battery is full again".

Then, she had the most solid sleep she had had in recent times.

The next day, after finishing her work in the company, when she picked up her phone, she found another message from Tang Manwen.

She stared at the phone screen, thinking at the same time, why does she always appear when she wants to stay away from her? !

"Didn't you invite me to dinner before?"

Unlike last night in the middle of the night, this time it was a compulsory question.

Tao Xiaoyu checked the time. The message was sent two hours ago. Although she didn't want to reply, she couldn't be cruel, and she owed Tang Manwen two favors, so she couldn't ignore it.

"When did I say that?"

"Of course it's fine."

"Well, I remember."

Every reply, including pretending to forget, wanting to be free and easy, and trying to be well-behaved, was deleted by her after typing.

In the end, she decided to be as natural as possible—

"So, now do I have a chance?"

After the message was sent, Tao Xiaoyu received a reply from Tang Manwen before the screen of the phone went black——

"Well, you have a chance today."

Today you have a chance, you are really arrogant!Tao Xiaoyu was not annoyed by the other party's benevolent tone, but one thing that made her feel uneasy was that she had never gone out with Tang Manwen alone.

"That's fine, let me see what to eat?"

"It's up to you."

"Sister Manwen, can I call Manchun?" Tao Xiaoyu suddenly felt timid.

"what ever."

Tao Xiaoyu immediately called Tang Manchun, but she ruthlessly refused, "Xiaoyu, please, please, please, please seize this hard-won opportunity! I am a busy man , Moreover, I don't want to continue to be caught between the two of you.

"It doesn't matter if you want a candlelight dinner or a drink under the moon. In short, if you still like my sister, I have a very good suggestion. You can invite her to cook at your house. Apart from work, my sister's biggest Her hobby is cooking, if you can persuade her to cook for you, then I congratulate you, it means that she is about to open the door to you, and then you can—"

"Manchun, don't you think this kind of invitation is very abrupt? Also, what does it mean to be caught between the two of us, please pay attention to your wording, we have never been 'two people'."

"Since you find it abrupt, it means that you have not had such thoughts in the short period of time after listening to my suggestion. Listen to me, don't care whether it is offensive or not, just send out the invitation boldly. The worst result is going out to eat. Isn’t it? Let me tell you a little bit more. Recently, my aunt is forcing my sister to bring her back to see her within the year, regardless of whether her partner is a man or a woman. Therefore, she took the initiative to ask you to invite her to dinner. It's a good sign-"

"oh I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Tao Xiaoyu hesitated for a while, then sent a message to Tang Manwen——

"Sister Manwen, if it's convenient for you, can you come to my house? Although my cooking skills are not very good, the taro steamed steak I cook is okay, and I can cook soup quite well."

"your home?"

"Oh, forget it, let's go out to eat." Tao Xiaoyu felt that he shouldn't be obsessed with ghosts, and always listen to Tang Manchun's bad ideas, which is embarrassing.

"It's not impossible."

"Outside? Or, my house?"

"Since you want to cook, I'll give you one more chance."

"Thank you Manwen, I'll send you the address when I get home."

Tao Xiaoyu felt that she was so humble, but the fast overflowing happiness instantly obliterated that feeling of humbleness.

"No, I know where your home is."

That's right, Tao Xiaoyu forgot again, Tang Manwen was here.

Based on the friendship between the two of them for so many years and the premise that she has helped him a lot, it is indeed appropriate to invite her to dinner at home, and the abruptness I was worried about just now must be because I am afraid of being rejected.She cheered herself up in her heart.

"Okay, it's six o'clock. I'll be home in half an hour. Sister Manwen can arrive after seven o'clock."

"Okay, see you later."

After that, Tao Xiaoyu cleaned up in a hurry and rushed out.

"Xiaoyu, are you in a hurry?" Xi Huixin had never seen Tao Xiaoyu in such a hurry, and in the hurry, her expression clearly showed happiness, and her gossiping heart was instantly ignited.

"Yes, Miss Xi, see you tomorrow."
