A corner of ten years

Tao Xiaodong sighed when he learned from Bai Bing that Li Cheng was 28 years old this year, "This person must not have changed his face after 20 years old."

Bai Bing took Tao Xiaodong's hand and sat on the sofa, "Taozi, since you have made such a choice, don't think too much. It may not be a good thing for you. Forget the past and start a new life." For big things, he was worried that the child would get into the horns and not come out.

Tao Xiaodong lay on Bai Bing's lap, looked at the little brother who had been taking care of him, buried his face in his stomach, and whispered, "Got it."

He knows that now he has no knowledge and narrow vision, and it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in society in the future just by being a waiter in the Tang Club. In this game, as long as he is not emotional, he will not lose. Time grew, and after four years, he left immediately with a degree certificate from University B.

He used four years of his youth to pay for his tuition, and Li Cheng did not lose money.

In fact, Li Cheng doesn’t come here very often. He’s busy with work or has other people going there, and he doesn’t force Tao Xiaodong to do anything he doesn’t want to do after he comes. The opposite of Tao Xiaodong’s bedroom is Li Cheng’s room. Sleeping on the opposite side made Tao Xiaodong feel lucky. It seemed that he was not his lover, but just a relative who came to live with him. Tao Xiaodong, who had originally planned to be angry, gradually let go of his guard.

After Tao Xiaodong entered B University, he felt the profound cultural heritage of this century-old school. Whether it was the ruined lotus in the pool or the buildings with blue tiles and white walls on the other side of the lake, they all perfectly matched the university campus he was fascinated by. A dry sponge, anxious to absorb the full water of the knowledge in the ocean.

He was a transfer student, and there were only five boys in the class of thirty or so. Tao Xiaodong's arrival was unanimously welcomed by all the girls. Originally, there were not many boys in their department, and the ranking of the school was inversely proportional to the quality of his appearance. Then the few boys picked the best-looking one, just like Chen Handian who grew up in a fork.

So when Tao Xiaodong was led to the podium by the class teacher to introduce himself, he just opened his mouth, "Hi everyone, I am..."

There was a scream from below, covering his voice.

Tao Xiaodong smiled shyly, and said it again, "Hi everyone, I am..."

There was another scream.

The head teacher stood on the podium and said, "Can you let him finish the speech?"

Finally, the third self-introduction ended successfully.

Tao Xiaodong started his college life.

Tao Xiaodong has not passed the college entrance examination, his background is not good, and he is a transfer student. He can't keep up with the progress in this top university in the country, and it is very difficult to study. At this time, many enthusiastic sisters will come to help. When there is no class, he When he loves to spend time in the library, those sisters will sit around him, draw highlights for him, and secretly put snacks in his bag. Even Tao Xiaodong, who is not very gregarious, is gradually infected, and he gets along well with his classmates. It is harmonious.

After returning home in the evening, Tao Xiaodong washed the noodles in the bucket with boiling water, closed the lid and began to look at the notes he made today.

He doesn't know how to cook, so he eats at school at noon, and at night he either eats in the cafeteria or comes back to make bowls of noodles. He wants to save time and read more. He knows that opportunities are hard-won, so he is determined to make up for the missed homework before the final exam. When he came back, he didn't intend to live in the house that Li Cheng gave him, but it's really close to the school. It's meaningless to be awkward about these small things, so I simply brought Abao to move in.

Ah Bao sniffed the two noodles that Tao Xiaodong put in his bowl, and didn't have the slightest intention of trying them, so he meowed around Tao Xiaodong's legs.

"It's good to eat something, don't pick and choose, buy cat food for you tomorrow, and then tell me to scare you with Pippi Mouse." Tao Xiaodong put his legs on the sofa, pointed at Abao's nose with a pen tip.

Ding dong—the doorbell rang.

Tao Xiaodong got up to open the door, it was Li Cheng, he was holding a cake, Qimeng, Tao Xiaodong knew that cake shop famous for its high prices, but he knew that he likes to eat sweets.

"Why does it smell like instant noodles?" Li Cheng changed his shoes in the entrance and looked inside.

"I soaked it." Tao Xiaodong began to unpack the cake box.

"You eat this at night?" He pointed to the bucket of noodles on the table and asked.

"I don't know how to cook." Tao Xiaodong took out the cake, picked a piece of cream with his index finger, and put it in his mouth.

Li Cheng grabbed his hand, "Eating sweets on an empty stomach is not good for the stomach," he wiped his fingers with a tissue, "Clean up and let's eat outside."

Tao Xiaodong muttered and put on his coat, "Instant noodles are pretty good, why are there so many poor people?"

"What do you want to eat?"

"Beef!" Without thinking.

Tao Xiaodong opened the door and sat in. Li Cheng changed his car again. The last time he was skiing he drove a Land Rover. This time he changed to a black Audi. Tao Xiaodong secretly said corruption in his heart.

"Are you going to wear this?" Li Cheng, who came out to drive first, looked at Tao Xiaodong, who was wearing a home sweater and a large cartoon coat, with a look of surprise.

Tao Xiaodong looked down at Dingdangmao and said, "What's the matter, why don't we just have a meal."

Li Cheng didn't speak, and the car drove out.

When they got there, Tao Xiaodong realized why Li Cheng looked at him strangely at that time. The waiter in a tuxedo looked like Takeshi Kaneshiro's brother and helped them open the car door. Another brother of Chen Bolin came up and ignored Tao Xiaodong and asked Li Cheng, Is it the same place? Li Cheng nodded, and the little bastard immediately led them in. The surrounding silver tableware dazzled people in the brightly lit hall. The men and women here are all dressed up, making them look like they are in the upper class of Manhattan. dinner.

The eyes of the women were attracted by the tall and handsome Li Cheng in front of them, until their male partner coughed lightly to remind them not to lose their composure, and when they saw Tao Xiaodong behind him, he turned his face away slightly, but the mocking expression on his face was still there. In his eyes, he didn't want to eat this meal anymore. This place didn't belong to him. He came here purely to find no humiliation for himself. He was hesitating whether to go back when a big hand in front of him suddenly wrapped around it. Compatible, very warm, Li Cheng turned his head and smiled at him, making Tao Xiaodong instantly feel a sense of security transmitted from the palm of his hand to his heart, and the heart that was hanging just now landed gently.

The waiter ushered them into a private room, Li Cheng was a frequent visitor here, he was familiar with some things, and occasionally asked Tao Xiaodong for his opinion.

While waiting for the meal, Tao Xiaodong bit the corner of his mouth and said, "Next time you come to this kind of place, tell me in advance."

Li Cheng looked at him funny, it was still his fault.

"Are you nervous about studying recently?" The voice was not too fast, gentle and magnetic, like a brother who was asking about his younger brother's study status.

"It's okay, but the advanced math is a bit difficult to understand." Tao Xiaodong was playing with a rose on the table, and the petals were torn into pieces by him.

He has been bad at mathematics since he was a child, and his foresight points are not discounted.

"If it's really hard, I can hire a tutor for you." Li Cheng watched him twist the petals into a small pile, and thought to himself what a child.

"No, no, I just said it casually, my usual classmates will help me, just get used to it." Why do you just arrange things for yourself at will, do they live like this all day long?It seems that it is best not to talk casually in the future.

"Do you have a good relationship with your classmates?"

"Well, everyone is very enthusiastic."

"Most of your classes are girls."

"Well, there are six boys plus me." The child proudly raised his head to show off that the boys in the class were like national treasures, but met the sudden cold gaze on the other side, and only then realized their relationship.

Fortunately, the dinner was delivered, and Tao Xiaodong almost bit the tip of his tongue.

Li Cheng gave Tao Xiaodong a medium-rare steak. Tao Xiaodong was hungry and he didn’t dare to look up at Li Cheng. He hurriedly cut the steak with a knife and fork. He stuffed a piece of water into his mouth, but managed to choke. He beat his chest to grab the water on the table, and it turned into red wine. Before Li Cheng could stop it, Tao Xiaodong gulped it down.

Li Cheng's hand was hanging in the air, Tao Xiaodong stuck out his tongue, looked at him aggrievedly and said, "I took it wrong."

Li Cheng couldn't laugh or cry, he put the split steak in front of Tao Xiaodong, and brought Tao Xiaodong's portion over, "Eat slowly, no one will grab you."

Tao Xiaodong bit his fork and watched Li Cheng put his leftovers into his mouth one bite at a time, feeling very confused as to what exactly Li Cheng liked about him.

Li Cheng didn't raise his eyelids, and said slowly, "If I had known you only ate forks, I wouldn't have ordered meat."

Tao Xiaodong was so embarrassed that he quickly lowered his head.

After eating and returning home, Tao Xiaodong went upstairs to take a shower, making up his mind not to go out to eat with Li Cheng again next time.He came out wrapped in a bathrobe, and looked for clean clothes in the closet, but when he opened the closet door, he was stunned. There was not a single piece of clothing inside. He thought he had traveled through time, closed it and opened it again, but there was still nothing.

"Li City!"

"What's wrong?" Li Cheng poked his head out from the door.

"Where are my clothes?" Tao Xiaodong asked with round eyes.

"I threw it away." He said it as a matter of course, as if he was talking about throwing away a piece of garbage.

"Why did you throw it away, what should I wear?"

"Tomorrow I will send someone a new one, and you will be satisfied." Li Cheng smiled mysteriously at him at the door.

"Why are you throwing away my well-dressed clothes!" Tao Xiaodong didn't appreciate it.

"Are you referring to the pile of 150 sets of cloth on Taobao? I really don't like it, so I will help you deal with it. Boys have to learn to be tasteful."

"Who asked you to throw it away?" Tao Xiaodong was in a hurry. He made a decision without asking his own opinion, and still said that he had no taste, "who agreed, why are you so self-assertive? You throw it away." Where is it, quickly pick it up for me."

"Throw it away and throw it away, what else do you pick up?"

Tao Xiaodong looked angrily at the innocent Li Cheng, went to the door and pushed him away, "Go away!" Then he went downstairs, "If you don't pick me up, I will pick him up."

Tao Xiaodong stood in the living room with two large bags of clothes in his hand and stared angrily at Li Cheng, "Don't mess with my things in the future!" After he finished speaking, he ran upstairs, and the door was slammed shut on top. There was a loud "bang".

Li Cheng scratched his hair in the living room, is he so angry?
