Watermelon-flavored wind and you

Since this year's Arbor Day falls on Sunday, the school arranged the planting day on Friday. Since the location is set at the school, it is logical that this year's high school students will lose one day of travel vacation.

During the morning reading class, even the students in the experimental class of the first year of high school were absent-minded. The head teacher was playing with his mobile phone on the podium. He understood the students' emotions very well and didn't intend to interfere.

Tao Shuran was stunned for the whole class. She supported her head, looked down at the textbook, and doodled on the draft with a pen in her right hand.

Last night's dream was long and did not end suddenly.

The day in the dream turned out to be November 11, her birthday.

After she picked up Ruirui, the driver drove them directly to the holiday villa that Jiang Hanqi had arranged. Jiang Hanqi was waiting at the door, holding out his hand to Tao Shuran with a smile on his face.

Before Tao Shuran put her hand on it, Ruirui hugged Tao Shuran excitedly, hung on her waist and began to shout: "Happy birthday, baby mom!! Ruirui is the first one to wish, today is better than Jiang Jiang Duo has held baby mother for a long time!"

"..."

Tao Shuran saw Jiang Hanqi smiled helplessly and looked at her.

However, Ruirui’s victory fruit didn’t last long. After eating, the family of three watched a classic movie in the open-air theater built in the small garden. The little girl didn’t like to watch this kind of thing, so she fell asleep from boredom at the beginning of the movie. Yes, Jiang Hanqi was very satisfied and asked the assistant to take her daughter upstairs to sleep.

In the cool night, only she and Jiang Hanqi were left.

Tao Shuran has never had the habit of celebrating birthdays since she was a child.

Mom and Dad don't like to remember the date, and they are usually busy with schoolwork. Birthdays are nothing more than sending gifts to friends and having a meal at most.

This is the first time Tao Shuran feels the importance of the sense of ritual.

From the moment she walked into this setting, her mood was ups and downs, and even the troubled thoughts of reality were calmed down.

……

"Ran Ran." Jiang Hanqi's smiling voice rang in his ears, "Help it a little crooked."

Tao Shuran was pulled back from the memories, and saw Jiang Hanqi squatting on the ground and looking up at her, her figure was clearly printed in her clear eyes.

"Oh." Tao Shuran was a little embarrassed, holding the tree seed upright on the soil, so that Jiang Hanxi could measure the size of the root ball.

"Ran Ran," Jiang Hanqi, who was working with his head down, said again, "I'm just a little worried, so I want to ask, if you feel offended, you don't have to say it——You seem to be in a bad state recently, and your mind is distracted today Many times."

Tao Shuran hid her face behind the branches and leaves of the sapling to prevent Jiang Hanqi from seeing her flushed face.

After waking up today, she has been a little out of mind. She is embarrassed to look at Jiang Hanqi, but her mind is full of her, but there is no important homework today, so she starts to go out of her body from time to time.

Jiang Hanqi was really too much, he ran to her dream to give her a surprise, and at the same time came to ask her if she was offended :)

"I, I, I, I didn't sleep well last night." I was still working too hard in my dream.Tao Shuran gave a reasonable explanation.

"Yes, didn't you sleep well this week?" Jiang Hanqi, who had measured the distance, began to do something on the ground, asking a little hesitantly.She couldn't be sure if this sentence was Tao Shuran's refusal or if she really didn't sleep well. If it was false, she shouldn't ask any more, but if it was true, she should do something.

Tao Shuran lowered her eyes, returning from the dream to reality, it was time to think about that question.

She was silent for a while, considering how to speak: "Jiang Hanqi..."

"Well, I'm here." Jiang Hanxi finished hitting, stood up, and supported the sapling.

The sense of weight in Tao Shuran's hand was split in half in an instant, and Jiang Hanxi's voice after letting it go was still very clear due to the closer distance: "No matter what you want to say, I will always listen to it."

Tao Shuran subconsciously picked the tree trunk, and said in a low voice: "Jiang Hanqi, I heard that your parents are returnees with Ph. Be the dragon and phoenix, and because they've done it, it's only natural that you should do it too, or even better."

"In the past two days, I will also recall the evaluations of you that I have heard from others before. People will say that Jiang Hanqi is so good, not Dr. Jiang's daughter. I think it is because you are very, very powerful , That’s why you can break out of this initial identity and become yourself. And you treat Ruirui… well, no.” Tao Shuran braked in time and tried to make up for it, “And you can do very well at difficult things, and you will definitely It can surpass your parents, so it will not be defined by others."

"You, did you hear something?" Jiang Hanqi frowned, looking a little displeased.

"That's what they said when I recommended the plan to the school youth league committee teachers last week. Probably, ah, I really deserve to be Director Tao's daughter, and so on. In fact, I have heard this kind of words a lot since I was a child. The teachers and classmates at the school all know that my mother is from the Education Bureau. The teacher will take extra care of me and give me a small position. It is indeed because of my mother; , Every step is taken by myself, but from time to time someone will say..."

Tao Shuran bit her lip, her voice became harsh, and continued: "People who say they have connections are different. They say that I stay in the experimental class because of connections, and some even say that the exam will give me a clear answer, haha."

Too many rumors can be spread wantonly without verification, like sharp sawdust, piercing into her heart one by one since ten years ago, small but hard to get rid of.

Jiang Hanqi's complexion became darker. She had the urge to hold Tao Shuran, but she looked at the hand wearing work gloves and holding the tree trunk, and could only remain silent.

"My parents have very high expectations of me—of course that's for me, Jiang Hanqi, don't laugh at me, they hope that I will be admitted to a university or apply for a university degree, and then I will either become a university professor, or become a politician and then Climbing high, haha." Tao Shuran paused before continuing, "It seems that if I can't achieve it, I don't deserve to be their daughter; and once I achieve something, the praise that should have been given will become The evaluation of 'you have finally fulfilled your due obligations'. But, why? It's so natural..."

Tao Shuran's voice gradually dropped, she stood there dumbly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Jiang Hanqi blinked her eyes, recalling something, she smiled lightly, waved her hand, and motioned Tao Shuran to start digging, then bent down by herself: "Ranran, you know the first time I heard Say what time are you?"

Tao Shuran seemed to know what she was going to say, and she became embarrassed: "Did you go to the experimental class last summer?" The students who were able to enter the fifth middle school had good family conditions, especially the double-excellent class in the fifth middle school. It's not surprising to know that there is a classmate who was stuffed in by the Education Bureau without meeting him.

Thinking of this, Tao Shuran's lips pursed even tighter.

"No." Jiang Hanqi smiled even more happily, as if recalling a very good event, "It was at the art performance in the district on the eve of Xiaoshengchu's graduation."

"You also came on stage that day, playing the second movement of the adapted Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. [-]. When the curtain was announced that day, I was thinking, is this a piece performed by elementary school students?" Jiang After Han Qi finished speaking, his brisk tone gradually calmed down, "As a result, the teachers who were chatting at the side started talking to each other, saying, 'This is the daughter of Director Tao', 'It's no wonder that Director Tao's daughter', "This kind of party must involve a few officials' children." From the beginning to the end of the chat."

Tao Shuran lowered her head and stared at Jiang Hanqi's lock of hair raised as she squatted slightly, and said in a low voice: "They are telling the truth. If it weren't for my parents, I wouldn't have learned the piano, and I don't have the courage to do so. When the program was being prepared, I recommended myself."

"I remember you were wearing a pure white dress that day. I sat too far back and didn't see your face clearly, but you played very well. The thunderous applause at the curtain call, I don't know how much of it was from the heart Yes, but mine must be for you, that's the only time I applaud."

Jiang Hanqi didn't stop his hands while talking, as if he was really just chatting while working.

After she dug the tree hole, Tao Shuran immediately hung the tree species on it so that she could compare the size.

Jiang Hanqi nodded to show that she was ok, and stood up. She was half a head taller than Tao Shuran, but Tao Shuran felt that she was looking at her: "So Ranran, in fact, what you think is not important. They are very clear. It’s money and power, but blindfolded and closed ears, that’s their regret.”

"You just talked about me, my parents, of course they expect something from me, but I don't know what it is, I won't listen, because it has nothing to do with me. I always just do what I want to do. "

"The world has barriers. Your parents are celebrities in the education field. When you have not left the education system, it is like standing in the shadow of a big tree. No matter what season, no matter whether you need shelter from the wind or summer, you have to pay interest. Yes. If I enter the medical field in the future, I will definitely live under the name of 'Dr. Xiao Jiang' for a long time. All adjectives are born for definition, and this has never been your problem."

"As for the expectations of your parents, you don't need to think about it. Just like it." Jiang Hanqi pointed to the roots that had been untied from the sackcloth and filled with soil, "We Dig a hole of a suitable size for it, fill it up, step on the soil, cover it with leaves, and water it, hoping that it will grow into a big tree. All expectations are just the feedback after investing the cost and the yearning for beautiful things. It shouldn't be you who should adjust your mentality."

"That's why you are talking to Rui..." After Tao Shuran was silent for a moment, she almost bit her tongue as soon as she opened her mouth.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Hanqi filled the soil for the last time, and her clear eyes looked at Tao Shuran quietly.

Tao Shuran shook her head like a rattle. After thinking about it, she didn't think it was a good opportunity to discuss children's education with Jiang Hanqi.

When others are alone, they are always flirting or falling in love, why does she and Jiang Hanqi always seem to be preparing sociology and psychology debates...

"Then, what are you willing to do?" Tao Shuran thought for a while before opening her mouth.

She felt that she had to work harder, and she would definitely not be able to catch up with Jiang Hanqi, but at least she could walk on the same road as Jiang Hanqi, even if she just watched her back.

Jiang Hanqi suddenly laughed. She looked carefully at the wooden hanging tag with her and Tao Shuran's names engraved on it, and motioned Tao Shuran to hang it up with her. She replied slowly: "I've been looking for it, too. Unfortunately, it has been a long time since I found it.”

Fortunately, I found it now.
