When he arrived at the hotel, Bai Shutong settled Tao Min and called Shao Yuanguang. "Mr. Tao has already stayed in the hotel, there is nothing else, I will go home first."

Shao Yuanguang had just dispersed for a while, and when he received Bai Shutong's news, he thought about it and said, "Let's have a meal together in the evening, Jiangcheng is familiar to you, just find a restaurant near the school." ”

Bai Shutong didn't want to agree, the two of them reminisced, and it was inevitable that she would be awkward in mixing in it. But Shao Yuanguang didn't give her a chance to refute, and quickly hung up the phone.

Bai Shutong had no choice but to find a relatively light restaurant near the school, and when Tao Min cleaned up, he took their mother and daughter over together-

When the three of them arrived at the restaurant, Shao Yuanguang was already waiting. Although it is an ex-boyfriend and girlfriend, the two seem to be ordinary when they meet, and they simply greet each other about their experiences along the way.

Compared with Tao Min's calmness, Dudu was so excited that he saw Shao Yuanguang pounce all of a sudden, and called him in a milky voice: "Chris!" ”

Shao Yuanguang hugged Dudu up, a rare smile bloomed on his face, and even a few teeth were faintly exposed.

He let Dudu sit on his lap and took her pink and tender little hands to tease her, the little girl jumped up and down happily, and her little hands touched Shao Yuanguang's face one by one.

Tao Min couldn't help frowning, and she called her daughter in disgust. Seeing her mother's expression, the little girl shrank into Shao Yuanguang's arms, as if she had a backer, and refused to come down.

Shao Yuanguang didn't care, and persuaded Tao Min in general: "I haven't seen you for a long time, it's rare once." ”

Shao Yuanguang's connivance made Bai Shutong, who pretended to look down at the menu, a little moved, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous of the little girl. It may be only when he treats children that he will be tolerant and even smile without scruples.

Bai Shutong flipped through the menu, but his mind was not on ordering. The waiter next to him waited impatiently and asked, "After watching it for so long, have you chosen it?" ”

As soon as she reminded her, Bai Shutong came back to his senses, casually reported a few vegetarian dishes, and subconsciously looked up at Shao Yuanguang after reporting, as if asking his opinion.

Shao Yuanguang was also looking at her at this time, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he glanced at Tao Min before saying, "Add two more Jiangcheng specialties." ”

The characteristics of Jiangcheng are either heavy oil or heavy spicy, Bai Shutong didn't think about it, and said to Shao Yuanguang in a low voice: "Teacher Shao, those dishes are not healthy, you'd better not eat them." ”

Shao Yuanguang was stunned for a moment, didn't speak, and secretly glanced at Bai Shutong.

Bai Shutong thought about it, and then realized the meaning of Shao Yuanguang's words. Adding dishes is not for herself, but for Tao Min, she is not distinguishing between host and guest, which is really rude. Bai Shutong thought about it and glanced at Tao Min, feeling a little sorry.

Tao Min drank water on the side, looked at the two of them, and couldn't help laughing: "What Shutong said is right, those dishes are too heavy and bad for the stomach, so let's eat less." ”

If Tao Min was relieved, Shao Yuanguang couldn't insist anymore, so Bai Shutong added two more light meat dishes, and quickly placed an order-

Chatting effort, hot dishes are served.

While eating, Tao Min and Shao Yuanguang were discussing academic topics, and Bai Shutong couldn't interject at all on the side, so he had to eat with his head bored. On the other side, Dudu was also bored to hear it, so he pulled Tao Min's hand from time to time, as if he was looking for a sense of zài.

Shao Yuanguang glanced at the child, Yu Guang glanced at Bai Shutong again, coughed lightly, and stopped the conversation first: "Okay, I'll talk about this tomorrow." As he spoke, he waved his hand at Dudu and asked her, "Uncle feeds you, okay?" ”

When Shao Yuanguang said this, his tone was rarely gentle, and Bai Shutong couldn't help but raise his head when he heard it.

The little girl and Shao Yuanguang have been separated for a long time, and when they heard him mention yì like this, they naturally clapped their hands, smiled and drilled into his arms.

Shao Yuanguang hugged her to his lap, half a spoonful of rice with half a spoonful of vegetables, changed the color and pattern of dishes, and patiently fed the little girl.

The little girl ate attentively, her eyes kept staring at the rice spoon, and she ate it very deliciously.

Shao Yuanguang looked at her well-behaved appearance, and couldn't help laughing, and the side dishes were even more attentive, and he teased and teased from time to time when feeding.

Bai Shutong couldn't help but put down his chopsticks when he looked at it. Shao Yuanguang's gentleness, Bai Shutong has seen it, his gentleness is quite limited, and it is very subtle, if you don't feel it, it will be difficult to find it. Perhaps because of this, Shao Yuanguang's thoughtfulness from time to time is even more precious.

At this time, Bai Shutong didn't expect that he was a cold person on weekdays, but he treated his children meticulously and cared for him, as if he was willing to take out all his love for her. It's just that I don't know if Shao Yuanguang is like this to all the children, or just to Tao Min's children?

Bai Shutong bit the tip of the chopsticks, pondering the answer in his heart, and Tao Min suddenly said in his ear: "You like children so much, it's time to think about your own affairs." ”

Tao Min's meaning couldn't be clearer, and Bai Shutong seemed to be very concerned about this issue. Shao Yuanguang has good looks and knowledge, and there are many ambiguous people inside and outside the school, but he has always been so lonely, and he doesn't seem to have even moved such a mind.

Bai Shutong wanted to know the answer, but he was afraid to know the answer. Her eyes unconsciously became wandering, she looked at Shao Yuanguang, looked away again, lowered her head and poked and teased in the rice bowl with the tips of her chopsticks.

Listening to Tao Min's words, Shao Yuanguang smiled, but the action of feeding the rice in his hand did not stop. He fed Dudu a mouthful of food, and then said, "Let this matter go, I'm not interested in it now." ”

Not interested? If he is really not interested, why did he go on a blind date with a woman on Valentine's Day?

I'm afraid it's just Shao Yuanguang's excuse to prevaricate Tao Min, or her?

Shao Yuanguang's words made Bai Shutong's movements pause. Tao Min saw it in her eyes, smiled and said, "There's nothing to put in it, you ......" She was halfway through her words, and when she saw Shao Yuanguang glaring at her, Tao Min paused, swallowed back the words on his lips, and said, "It's good for you to put it down, but it's hard for the girls of Jiang University." Right? ”

Her last sentence was asking Bai Shutong, Bai Shutong had something in her heart, and she responded with hindsight and squeezed a smile.

Indeed, his lack of interest was like pouring a basin of cold water, which directly shattered Bai Shutong's hazy fantasy-

The four of them had dinner and came out of the restaurant at about nine o'clock in the evening. The restaurant was not far from Tao Min's residence, and Bai Shutong followed Shao Yuanguang to send Tao Min's mother and daughter back to the hotel first.

Dudu was full of food and refreshed, and ran back and forth on the road. Tao Min only said a few words, and then let her run around.

The road in Jiangcheng was uneven, Bai Shutong looked a little scared, and accompanied Dudu every step of the way.

In recent days, spring has begun, and the evening breeze has eased a little, and there is a hint of early spring in the wind.

Shao Yuanguang walked beside Tao Min, and his steps were not hurried or slow. The two of them had their own thoughts, and they didn't say anything along the way, and when they were bored, his eyes followed Bai Shutong's figure in all directions.

Tao Min looked at his daughter, looked at it, and his eyes fell on Bai Shutong. She didn't look at Shao Yuanguang, but asked leisurely, "How long have you been in Jiangcheng?" ”

"Two or three months." As soon as the words came out, Shao Yuanguang realized that it had been so long since he came to Jiangda. He was completely unfamiliar with the environment in Jiangcheng, two or three months have passed, and the people and things around him have gradually become familiar, and Bai Shutong has also changed from unbearable at the beginning to now accustomed to it.

Shao Yuanguang thought about it and smiled, then looked up and looked for the familiar figure again.

Shao Yuanguang's love is good, Tao Min speculated and said: "I heard that my uncle is ...... in Jiangcheng" She stopped and turned her head to look at Shao Yuanguang, "Did you go to see him after you settled down?" ”

Listening to Tao Min's words, Shao Yuanguang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his previous kind expression was swept away, replaced by anger and dissatisfaction. "It doesn't matter to me where he is."

It's been a long time, and Tao Min didn't expect Shao Yuanguang to still mind this. "After all, it's father and son, there's no need to ...... for a little thing"

Before Tao Min's words of persuasion were finished, Shao Yuanguang snorted coldly: "A trivial matter? You think it's a small thing, but I don't think it's necessarily. ”

This topic seems to have touched Shao Yuanguang's minefield, making his attitude change abruptly. Tao Min was unwilling and wanted to persuade again, but was scolded back by Shao Yuanguang: "Are you very idle?" You don't have to worry about my business. ”

His attitude was not good, and Tao Min didn't care about him, but smiled: "It's my decision to take care of things, and you can't care about it." She said, took out an envelope from her bag, and handed it to Shao Yuanguang.

"What?"

Shao Yuanguang didn't answer, and Tao Min stuffed the envelope into his hand: "What Chu Heng helped you find, my uncle's current address and contact information are all written in it." ”

Hearing this, Shao Yuanguang returned the envelope to Tao Min, Tao Min said that he would not take back the envelope, only said: "I won't take back what you gave you, just tear it up if you don't want to see it." ”

The two stood in the middle of the road and argued, and Bai Shutong had already run away with Dudu. After running for a while, Bai Shutong turned around and found that the person behind him was gone, and looking further away, the two were standing in the moonlit night and talking something.

Bai Shutong pulled Dudu and straightened up, Shao Yuanguang and Tao Min's figures stood opposite each other, intertwined in the night, that is, alienated and intimate, and more importantly, there was a sense of equality between the two that Bai Shutong couldn't ask for.
