My green plums are very sour

"So you said you wanted me for something, and you called me out to help prevent the rotten peach blossoms?" I watched the girl sitting next to Tao Songnian leave the milk tea shop, and asked with a sneer.

The weekend after the half-term exam was over, the school did not arrange make-up classes. Tao Songnian sent me a message on Saturday afternoon, asking me to meet at a milk tea shop in a typhoon shelter in the city center, saying that he needed my help.

I just had a confrontation with Ning Ran in the first two days, and I was so bored. It happened that Tao Songnian came to me, so I agreed, and Quan Dang went out to relax.

When I went in, I happened to see a girl with long hair and a shawl sitting across from her. She had sweet features, a little shyness on her face, and seemed a little sour. She kept looking up at her.

My footsteps paused, a little hesitant whether I should go there or not, and I always felt that something was weird.The already depressed mood became more and more irritable.

Tao Songnian was obviously absent-minded, with peaceful but perfunctory eyes. He kept looking towards the door, and when he saw me entering the door, he immediately stood up and beckoned me to come over.

"Are you here? I've been waiting for you for a long time." She smiled with unusual enthusiasm, which made me a little confused. If I remember correctly, I just stepped on the spot.

I tilted my head slightly and cast a questioning look at her.

Tao Songnian received my question, but didn't answer, just winked her eyes and patted the chair beside her, telling me to sit down.

The girl who was originally opposite her was even more at a loss at this time. Seeing me, a stranger, sitting beside her, her eyes flickered and she forced a smile, and asked Tao Songnian in a charming voice: "This is...?" I turned around.

Tao Songnian looked at me and said with a warm smile: "Oh, this is my friend. I originally asked her out for a stroll in the afternoon, but I thought I had a little time, so I promised you to sit here for a while, just in time to wait for her .”

I saw something, and laughed secretly in my heart, but my face was tense and there was no reaction, I made up my mind and just watched the show.Listening to her blunt words, it is really difficult to connect with her usual gentle appearance.

Looking at the side again, the long-haired girl looked very embarrassed, her fingers unconsciously picked on the milk tea cup, and asked a little hesitantly: "Then, do you have anything to do later?"

"Well, that's right." Tao Songnian didn't seem to notice his face, and nodded with a smile.

Sure enough, the long-haired girl couldn't sit still any longer. She looked at us back and forth with a blushing face, and got up consciously to say goodbye. "In that case, I'll leave first, so I won't disturb you."

This is what Tao Songnian was waiting for, and he just went along with the flow and made a gesture of goodbye, sending him two words, "Bye bye."

I didn't make a sound the whole time, and watched the girl leave the milk tea shop with a blank face. After she left the milk tea shop, I stared at Tao Songnian clearly and questioned her with some dissatisfaction.

Tao Songnian didn't deny the rotten peach blossoms, but rather aggrieved, pouted, leaned back on the chair with a shrug of his shoulders, and called the boss.

"What do you drink? Order first, and then speak slowly."

Judging by her posture, she is planning to sit in the milk tea shop for a long time, but it's okay, the weather is so hot, it's much more comfortable to find a shop to use the air conditioner than to run around.

"A cup of Lemon Seven. Thank you."

While waiting for drinks, I was still thinking about the scene just now, and I couldn't help shaking my head and sighing: "You are really good at provoking girls." Including the ones who cheered her on at the stadium, I can't count on one hand .

Tao Songnian did not show any surprise or embarrassment at all, but raised his chin with a proud look, "Are you one of them?"

"..." I was stunned subconsciously for a second, then looked up into her eyes, those narrow eyebrows and eyes filled with a sly smile, and she spread our secret things naked on the table.

"Chi..." After being dazed for a moment, I twitched the corners of my mouth helplessly, as a tacit consent.

Tao Songnian is not stupid, I have seen too many girls who have mischievous feelings towards me, not to mention that I never thought about covering it up, she must have known what I was thinking long ago.

It's just that I didn't think to make it clear. She had really cooperated before and never said it clearly.When she mentioned it at first, I was somewhat embarrassed.

Tao Songnian raised his eyebrows, smiled knowingly, and didn't continue, turning the page.

I was aroused by her words, and I was a little distracted for a while.Both fell silent.

The silence was broken only after the boss delivered my drink order.

"Why don't you talk?" I inserted the straw in and shook the glass, the ice cubes floating on it collided with each other and made a muffled sound.

Tao Songnian leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table and supporting his chin, "Huh? I'm actually not good at finding topics."

I shook the cup for a moment, remembering the embarrassing conversations in text messages when I first met her.

Xu was dissatisfied with my reaction, Tao Songnian muttered, "What are you laughing at, I don't need to take the initiative to find topics at all, it's someone else..." As he spoke, he suddenly felt wrong, and then closed his mouth resentfully.

I glanced at her and drank my drink intently, as if I didn't hear what she was saying.

"Ahem." Tao Songnian dipped his index finger into a little drop of water on the outer wall of the milk tea cup, scribbled on the table, and then pulled back the conversation, "I can't help it, it's not me that I have grown up like this It's my fault. I have to find a suitable way to reject him. That girl asked me out many times today, and I really couldn't avoid it, so I called you together. "

"Otherwise, those guys on the school team always say that I delay people, and I can't take the blame for this." She was really wronged.

Obviously, her acquaintances all know that she is easy to provoke girls, and they have long been used to it.

I'm a little curious, how she always said to others, "That day...?"

Tao Songnian's eyes flashed, he hurriedly lowered his head and took a sip of his drink, his exposed earlobe was a little red, "I've been with you all the time recently, and then they tortured me..."

What she said was relatively cryptic, but I still understood, and my face became warmer.This feeling is very subtle, and it seems that something has been confirmed indirectly.

But Tao Songnian is much calmer than me, at least she can share with her friends openly, unlike me who is evasive and can't tell the truth to A Rui and Ning Ran.

"Hey, it's all right. Let's not talk about this." Tao Songnian knocked the cup on the table, changed his tone, and asked cautiously, "I heard that you didn't do well in the half-term exam. Did I affect you?" is you……?"

I sighed, not willing to mention this matter, and asked her instead: "Who told you? Ning Ran?"

"No." Tao Songnian shook his head inexplicably, and explained, "I ran into your friend on the stairs at the end of class on the night when the results were announced. They were Zhou Sirui and the others. They walked in front of me. I heard her say You didn't do well in the exam this time, and Ning Ran probably caught you talking about it again."

"Is it because we've been sending messages a lot lately, taking up too much time and disturbing your studies?" She had that gentle look again, with concern and guilt in her tone.

This made me even more irritable, and I frowned unconsciously.

"This is my own problem, and it has nothing to do with you." Although to some extent, the frequent contact with Tao Songnian distracted me, it still affected my study to some extent.But I don't want to attribute all the reasons to her. Everything is caused by my lack of concentration. The problem lies with me.

The reason why I couldn't help raising the bar when Ning Ran mentioned Tao Songnian was also because I knew that the root cause was not her, and there was no need to put the blame on an innocent person.

It's just that I was too hasty and my attitude was too hurtful.

"I think you were in a bad mood when you came today, and you were still thinking about your grades?" Tao Songnian heard my tone was a little stiff, so he didn't bother with the previous question.

I pondered for a while, then picked a part and told her, "I didn't think about grades. It's Ning Ran."

"After the grades came out, she came to me in class and asked me why I did so poorly in the exam. I was not in a good mood at the time, so I choked on her a few words, which made her angry."

For dozens of hours after that, Ning Ran didn't talk to me with a dark face. She probably didn't want to see me if it wasn't because they had to go to and from school together.

Tao Songnian leaned back and stuck to the back of the chair, crossed his hands on the table, and said in a low voice, "Ning Ran cares about you very much."

Of course I understand this very well. I raised my eyes and looked over with a serious expression on my face, "I know."

Tao Songnian stared at me for a while, with a different meaning in his eyes, shook his head slightly, then suddenly smiled with the corners of his lips, and persuaded me: "Speak nice words to her when you go back, and apologize. She Not really mad at you."

I heard it a little strange, and for a moment I couldn't figure out what she meant by that, I just thought it was for my sake, and I didn't want my relationship with Ning Ran to be damaged.I lowered my eyebrows and nodded, bit my lip and hummed.

"Okay, don't be too sad." Tao Songnian comforted me and said, "Go back early later. I'll see you off."

When I was approaching the gate of the community, I found that Ning Ran had just come out of the supermarket next door, and he looked at Tao Songnian and me at a distance of ten meters, and immediately turned away and prepared to leave.

I was a little timid by her actions, and stood there hesitantly.

It was Tao Songnian who couldn't stand it any longer. He patted me on the back and pushed me lightly, "Hurry up and apologize to someone."

I turned around subconsciously, she had already waved her hand and stepped back a little, and I couldn't see anything unusual.

"Go! I'm leaving." She pouted her chin again, turned around and strode towards the main road.

I pursed my lips and stomped my feet, trotted a few steps and followed Ning Ran's back into the gate of the community.
