Xu Jiangtong felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he suggested: "Mr. Song, why don't you deal with Sun Ran's matter, and I will take him out first."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Xu, you have to calm Xiaotao's emotions." Director Song's face was very ugly, "I'm really sorry for letting you see this kind of farce."

"It's okay, I will take good care of him." Xu Jiangtong shook Tao Xihong's hand and led him out of the office.He followed mechanically like a puppet whose soul had been sucked out.

Walking outside, Xu Jiangtong breathed in the fresh air, and said hesitantly: "Little Tao, you seem to have something very important that you didn't tell me."

"You didn't ask," Tao Xihong muttered, "Who keeps talking about such things?"

"Are you still playing word games with me?" Xu Jiangtong was also physically and mentally exhausted at the moment, "Let's find a place to sit for a while."

Tao Xihong had no objection and quietly followed behind him.Xu Jiangtong took him to the coffee shop and sat listlessly on the sofa.

"I'm sorry, I really don't know what to say about this." Tao Xihong sat on the other end of the sofa, but the distance of half a meter seemed particularly empty.

Xu Jiangtong also couldn't organize his words well, so he could only turn around to look at him first, showing his willingness and respect to talk to him.

To be honest, he doesn't know whether it is better to enlighten him as a teacher now, or to vent his temper caused by lack of trust from the perspective of a lover.The unexpected confession and the smooth friendship that night made the relationship between the two very delicate.

There are still many things that have not been discussed between them, but because of a wrong name, they became partners hastily.

Xu Jiangtong pressed his forehead, feeling that he was not as mature as he should be at this age.But was there any other option that night?He is not a character who compromises, if he likes it, he has to try it - that's right.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Little Tao, I won't look down on you because of this. The achievements you have achieved through your own efforts are enough to prove your strength."

"Don't fool me with counseling words." Tao Xihong looked up at him, "I know you're angry."

"Angry is inevitable." Xu Jiangtong couldn't pretend anymore, and complained all over the place, "I showed you the scars on my body, but you kept something so important from me. Could it be that we haven't reached the point yet? Is it the level of trust a lover should have?"

"But I don't have a chance to say it. Especially after knowing your family background, I am even more..." Tao Xihong, like a child who has done something wrong, took a long time to utter a word.

"Am I such a person?" Xu Jiangtong frowned, "I like you, not your family."

Tao Xihong shook his head: "But I feel inferior in front of you, you can't understand this feeling."

Seeing him shrinking pitifully on the sofa, Xu Jiangtong couldn't bear to blame him, and asked, "So, your parents?"

"Dead." He squeezed out two words coldly.

Xu Jiangtong made a judgment based on the context, and said in a straight voice: "Tao Xihong, don't speak angry with me."

"It's not angry words, they are dead in my heart." He gritted his molars and looked ahead dully, "When I was about one year old, I was abandoned in an old station in Jingzhou. The orphanage Adopted me until I was 19 years old, and there is no news about them."

That's why he hated abandonment so much when he was discussing stray cats that night.

Therefore, he didn't meet Ji Xiyun through public welfare activities, but the siblings who grew up with her.

From that chance encounter in the orphanage, Tao Xihong began to lie to himself.Xu Jiangtong recalled the special details in the process of getting along, and then pieced together these scattered things.

"How did you get through these years?" He even began to blame himself for not discovering the problem earlier, and drank the milk tea bought by Tao Xihong with peace of mind.

"I was sent to play basketball when I was very young. This is also a career for me. At least it can fill my stomach. After I was admitted to university, I lived on a scholarship. Counting the subsidy, I can get more than 1 a year. Just eating in the canteen is enough."

"The monthly food expenses are less than one thousand? You are still a sports student, how can you have enough to eat?" Xu Jiangtong couldn't imagine what happened to him at all, so he put his shoulders and said, "How about I give you more..."

"I don't want it!" Tao Xihong slammed his pride and threw him away, "I didn't stay with you just to eat soft food!"

Xu Jiangtong was already very tired, and was pushed so that he lost his center of gravity. He slid out along the sofa, and his back hit the armrest firmly.

He snorted: "You didn't even listen to my words?"

After finishing speaking, he put on his coat aggrievedly, and walked towards the door: "Forget it, we'll talk about it after you finish the exam."

Seeing him walking out without looking back, Tao Xihong ran over to stop him as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Teacher Xiao Jiang, I will take you home."

"No need," Xu Jiangtong sideways avoided him, pushed the door and left, leaving only one sentence, "Do your own thing well first."

The bell to see off the guests made a crisp sound, and the feathers of the dream catcher swayed gently, but they couldn't catch the puppy's dream.

He still screwed things up.

Maybe he shouldn't have lied to Xu Jiangtong from the very beginning, or maybe he shouldn't expect to be a partner with such an excellent person at all.

In this way, they can still play together and maintain a perfect image in front of Xu Jiangtong—a vigorous college student who has both literacy and sports.

If they hadn't inadvertently shouted out what was in their hearts, the two of them would never have come to where they are today.But he still doesn't regret going through this match with Xu Jiangtong.

They crossed into the sky together and saw the same scenery; they clapped together to celebrate and shared the same joy.

At that moment, Tao Xihong could forget all his troubles, the disparity in social status between the two, and the differences in concepts caused by different growth environments.

He is so completely his own.

Maybe Xu Jiangtong is right, liking someone is easy, but falling in love is a science.

After all, he crossed the line first, and there is a price to pay for fouling.
