"Do you want to go out and buy ice cream?"

Hearing this, Tao Zhou turned his head and looked at Qian Xi who had just come out of the bathroom.

"Don't blow your head?" She clipped the postcard that was originally in the book to the page she just read, and then closed the book.

Qian Xi casually wiped her hair with the towel around her neck, walked to her side, and looked down at the book she had just closed.

"Hedgehog elegance?"

"Huh? Have you read it?" Taozhou asked because there was no title on the cover of this book, and there was an oval-shaped painting in the middle of the pure white background. The painting showed a yellow cat squatting on a black next to the chair.

Qian Xi shook her head: "No."

Tao Zhou turned the book sideways, exposing the spine.From top to bottom are the original name of the author, the title of the book, the author's nationality, the author's translated name, and the publishing house.

"I saw it at your home, you put it on the bedside before." After confirming that she was right, Qian Xi stretched out her hand: "Can I have a look?"

Suddenly, Taozhou remembered that when he visited her home for the first time, it was indeed placed by the bedside.

Handed him the book: "Of course."

He opened it and took out the postcard inside.

There are many sentences written on it, which should be excerpted from the book.

He whispered the first sentence: "I am cold and unfeeling, but I am always polite...you are unfeeling?" He clipped the postcard back and carefully put the book back on the table.

Taozhou turned off the lamp and stood up.

"More or less."

Qian Xi was standing next to the chair. After she stood up, she felt as if she was about to stand in his arms, so she took a small step to the side.

Qian Xi pulled the chair back, and then stepped over with a big stride, and she really stood in his arms.

"You are easy to talk to today!" Qian Xi buried her head between her necks, "I thought you would reject me."

What he was talking about was that after dinner tonight, he said he would take her home, but he followed her in directly, and he had to act like a baby and said that he wanted to sleep with her.

He actually thought he would be driven to the guest room, but Tao Zhou agreed after only thinking about it for about two seconds.

"Emm," Tao Zhou avoided his gaze, "Actually, Bei Luo helped me book a flight home tomorrow afternoon."

"What?" Qian Xi let go of her.

Tao Zhou quickly cleared himself up: "Bei Luo booked the ticket, and he told me this afternoon!"

Qian Xi frowned: "He even cares about this?"

After all, Tao Zhou and Bei Luo have been friends for so many years. It is inevitable to mention Bei Luo in life. Restrain yourself.

However, ever since Qianxi knew from Tao's father that Bei Luo was not actually Tao Zhou's biological brother, and that his previous assumptions about Tao Zhou and Bei Luo's broken family were completely imaginary, he could no longer control himself.

"There's a reason," Tao Zhou knew what he was thinking, and even though she usually fights with Bei Luo, she still regards Bei Luo as her family in her heart, and she doesn't want Qian Xi to be so hostile to him , "I really need to leave quickly."

"what reason?"

"That's it, it's a long story." Seeing that his hair was still dripping, Tao Zhou asked him to sit down, and then took the towel hanging around his neck to help him wipe his hair.

It is rare to have such an opportunity. Qian Xi enjoys her gentle movements, and her heart is not so angry anymore, but she still wants to know the reason: "I am all ears."

"emmm, well, let me make a long story short," Tao Zhou summed it up a bit, "it's probably my grandma's birthday the day after tomorrow. If I stay in Beijing, I'll definitely have to go there, but the relationship between me and my grandma, how should I put it, Not good, so..."

Qian Xi turned her head and looked up at her, with some doubts on her expression: "So you plan to run away tomorrow?"

"Although it doesn't sound good," Tao Zhou pursed his lower lip, "but it's the truth."

Qian Xi looked at her helpless and resigned expression, and asked again: "Azhou, do you have a bad relationship with your grandma?"

"Well, so far it can be said that it is very bad." Tao Zhou smiled when he said this.

Qian Xi was not sure about the meaning of that smile, she said it was a wry smile, but she didn't seem to feel sad about it, but he didn't believe it, she was really happy about it: "That's your grandma, you are relatives, maybe What misunderstanding do you have, Ah Zhou, you don't look like someone who would have such an unpleasant fight with anyone."

"Just because I usually look good at talking, so I won't hate others?" Tao Zhou shrugged, "Don't forget, I am cold and unfeeling, I am just polite."

Qian Xi looked at her self-deprecating expression, and smiled: "No, you are indifferent, and you are not unfeeling, Ah Zhou, believe me, I can feel it."

"That's because I'm neither indifferent nor unfeeling to you." Tao Zhou leaned down and kissed him on the forehead, "Do you remember that I went to Hunan with you during the Chinese New Year? It's because I don't want to go back to Beijing with my parents Chinese New Year, because I don't want to see my grandma, and I don't want to wish her a happy new year."

Qian Xi recalled what happened before the Chinese New Year.Stars also have holidays during the Chinese New Year. He originally thought that he could go to Jiangnan to find her during the Chinese New Year, and visit her parents by the way, so as to get some extra points, but after telling her about the plan, she uncharacteristically said that she could come to him.

At that time, I just felt very happy, thinking that she liked his performance more, but it turned out to be like this...

Tao Zhou looked at Qian Xi's gradually sinking expression, and rubbed him: "What's the matter?"

Qian Xi turned around and sat down, in a low tone: "It's nothing..."

Tao Zhou leaned forward from behind him to look at him: "It doesn't sound like nothing..."

Qian Xi squinted at her, then looked away: "It's really nothing."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Tao Zhou didn't force it, straightened up, continued to brush his hair, and sighed casually: "Hey, my little boy has his own thoughts, he really grew up..."

She was just joking, she thought Qian Xi could hear it from his tone, but she didn't expect him to stand up all of a sudden: "I'm not!"

Tao Zhou suddenly changed from looking down to looking up, and took a step back: "I was just joking."

Qian Xi also realized that she had overreacted, and walked around the chair to hug her: "Sorry, I... I feel very insecure..."

Tao Zhou hugged him back: "No sense of security?"

Qian Xi's voice was muffled: "During the Chinese New Year, I thought you wanted to meet my family. I thought that you became fond of me. I just realized that I was actually being self-indulgent. This feeling is too much." Oh no……"

Recalling his reaction just now, Tao Zhou realized.

Tao Zhou let him go and let him look into her eyes: "Qianxi, I really like you, what you think is not wrong!"

"But you only came with me to escape your grandma. You didn't want to see my family members subjectively. I forced you."

"No one can force me!" Tao Zhou shook his head, "Qianxi, if I don't want to, I will tell you, I will choose to be with you because I want to be with you, not because I want to escape Only with you, do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood." Qian Xi lowered her head and approached her eyes suddenly, "It doesn't mean that you can only be with me, but you have other choices besides me? Who is it?"

Tao Zhou: "...Okay, I'm sure you don't understand what I mean."

Tao Zhou sighed and explained again: "I mean..."

The following words entered Qianxi's mouth directly.

"I get it, I'm just joking."

"..."

When the two were inseparable, Taozhou's cell phone rang.

Tao Zhou pushed Qian Xi, Qian Xi separated from her slightly, panting and said: "Leave it alone."

After speaking, I kissed again.

Tao Zhou responded twice, and then pushed him harder: "It's my father's call."

Qian Xi stopped, but was obviously not satisfied, hugged her and twirled all the way to the bedside while kissing her, then both fell on the bed, and rolled to the other side of the bed, Taozhou reached out and grabbed the phone, he Only then did he finally leave her lips, and instead gently kiss the tip of her nose, the bridge of her nose, her eyes and her cheeks.

"Father?" Tao Zhou pushed his face away when he picked up the phone.

When Qian Xi heard Papa Tao's voice on the phone, she also obediently stopped moving, just buried her head in her shoulder, inhaled slowly and listened to what her father said by the way.

"Xiaozhou, your grandma just entered the hospital, can you help dad to visit her?"

Tao Zhou froze for a moment, then said: "I will go."

"Thank you Xiaozhou, I'll send you the address later, it's too late today, go tomorrow morning."

"Well, I see," Tao Zhou responded, "Will you guys come over?"

"The air ticket at noon tomorrow will arrive in the afternoon."

"Do you want me to pick you up?"

"Bei Luo will come to pick us up, so don't bother."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Qian Xi raised her head and looked at her with concern.

"Is your grandma sick?"

Tao Zhou shrugged: "Probably, not very clear."

Seeing that she didn't care, Qian Xi felt a little uncomfortable: "Ah Zhou, you should try to untie your knot."

Tao Zhou looked at his serious expression and shook his head: "We have no knots, Qianxi, we just have different views."

"Then maybe you should talk to your grandma about your three views and tell her what you think?"

"How do you know I haven't?" Taozhou lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. "At first we could barely maintain the peace on the surface, but since..."

Qian Xi sat up: "Since?"

Tao Zhou also sat up cross-legged facing him, hesitated for a moment, saw Qian Xi's curious eyes, and said slowly: "Ever since I ruined my niece's wedding, she has gone completely crazy."

"You ruined your niece's wedding?" Qian Xi's eyes widened in surprise, "Why? How did you do it?"

Tao Zhou licked his lips: "I took the groom away."

"What?" Qian Xi was stunned, "Why did the groom leave with you? He doesn't want to get married himself? He begged you to take him away? Because he doesn't like your niece?"

Tao Zhou shook his head: "The action was planned by myself, and the groom didn't know it at first."

"Then he left with you?" Qian Xi's expression has gradually changed, with a kind of introspective doubt, "You two met before?"

Tao Zhou nodded: "Well, I've known him since high school."

"High school..." Qian Xi chewed these two words, and when she looked at her again, her eyes became very ambiguous, "Don't tell me that when you were 19 years old, that decision had something to do with him."

The decision at the age of 19: to become a painter, to fulfill the dream that Xin Fangjun could not realize.

"It's not related to him..." Tao Zhou spoke slowly.

Qian Xi didn't relax because of hearing this, and even became more tense. Sure enough, he heard her continue to say: "Instead, it's all because of him."
