Chapter Seventy-Three: The Glass of Water

Then Meng Yuqian thought as she pressed Tao Tao's face very gently.

However, Tao Tao only felt suffocated.

This woman ......

Meng Yuqian ignored Tao Tao, who was still fluttering, took the towel and nodded with satisfaction on the side, and then continued to exert force in her hands.

After a while, Meng Yuqian gently took her out again.

"Come on, wipe it, don't catch a cold."

Meng Yuqian smiled and put the towel on Tao Tao's hand.

Tao Tao rolled her eyes, now she was really awake, and she almost left this beautiful world.

So the child didn't pay attention to himself all morning.

Meng Yuqian thought that it was time to give her a profound family ideological education.

The morning class passed quickly, and Tao Tao was going to Xiao Qiong's office in the afternoon to do the final proofreading.

"Ahem."

Seeing that the two were about to separate, Tao Tao coughed twice deliberately.

Meng Yuqian rolled her eyes in her heart.

"What?"

"Well, everything is going according to plan."

Tao Tao once again arrogantly threw down this sentence, turned around and left without looking back.

She thought she was very chic, but in Meng Yuqian's eyes, she was very underwhelmed.

Meng Yuqian clenched her fists and stared at the woman's back viciously, but she still kept her phone at night, worried about why Tao Tao hadn't come back.

"Buckle up."

Tao Tao knocked on the door of Xiao Qiong's office.

This familiar scene made Tao Tao uncomfortable and wanted to cry......

"Enter."

Tao Tao pushed the door and walked in, and saw that there was another person sitting in Xiao Qiong's office.

This back......

Why is it so familiar?

Tao Tao looked at the gray hair of the person in front of him, but he was still very tall.

Then she called out the man's name the moment he turned his head.

"Professor Jiang?"

When Tao Tao saw his smiling eyes, he was even more sure that this person was Professor Jiang Shangcheng Jiang, who was invited by the school last semester.

Such a coincidence?

"Huh? Isn't this the girl Jiang Jinchen likes? ”

Professor Jiang relied on his memory, which has been very confident for many years, and said a sentence out loud in front of everyone.

Tao Tao, who was so frightened that he was about to close the door, almost caught his fingers.

"Ha, haha, it's me."

Tao Tao snorted awkwardly, and then quickly walked in front of Professor Jiang and greeted him.

"Hello Professor Jiang."

"Oh, it's good, it's really fateful to say it, Jiang Jinchen, this kid is really ......"

"Professor."

However, before Professor Jiang could finish speaking, Xiao Qiong, who was sitting in front of him, stopped him.

"The materials have been printed."

As he spoke, he placed a dozen materials in Professor Jiang's hand and stood up.

"Let's go to a meeting."

"Ah, yes, yes, if you don't say it, I'm almost forgotten, my memory is getting worse and worse......"

Professor Jiang shook his head as he stroked the beard on his chin.

Tao Tao pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment.

She suspected that Professor Jiang was unbeatable in keeping gossip.

"Then I'll go, remember to come to my house for dinner with Jiang Jinchen in the future."

Professor Jiang patted Tao Tao's shoulder with a smile and made a final admonition.

Tao Tao listened speechlessly to Professor Jiang, who really didn't leave Jiang Jinchen for three sentences, and just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

She raised her head to look at Xiao Qiong's increasingly dark face, and swallowed her saliva.

Don't blame me, do you?

Then she watched helplessly as the two big Buddhas walked out.

"I'll be right back."

The moment Xiao Qiong closed the door, she threw this sentence at Tao Tao.

Tao Tao sighed, and then sat down in Professor Jiang's chair just now.

She took out the manuscript and planned to perfect it now.

It's just that she looked at it, and her attention was accidentally attracted by Xiao Qiong's desk.

There is actually nothing superfluous on it except for a few books, except for a picture frame.

Tao Tao had sat here several times before, but he hadn't looked at the table closely, but now when he looked at it, he found the wooden thing that didn't fit in with the surroundings.

It was a picture frame.

Tao Tao picked it up curiously, and what caught her eye was a photo she was very familiar with.

I saw it in Li Huan's circle of friends a while ago.

A photo of their family of four.

Mom, sister, sister, and himself.

Tao Tao was puzzled, why did he put this photo on his desk?

So out of place.

She thought that Xiao Qiong would not love anyone except her sister Xiao Lan, but now she felt that she was wrong.

Xiao Qiong is also a person of flesh and blood and feelings.

Although they say that they use each other, they ......

Tao Tao believes that Li Huan took care of the two children for a few years when they were the most desperate and lonely, and they will not forget this affection and companionship.

After all, it's just three poor and stubborn children.

Tao Tao sighed and put the photo back in its place.

It is said that people's feelings are the most inexplicable, and she really believes in this sentence.

She could imagine what had made the three children what they were.

In the end, she summed up one word, love.

It was love, the missing love, that changed them.

But...... None of this has anything to do with me anymore.

Tao Tao felt that she was not a Virgin, nor was she a savior bodhisattva, she had no need to pity them, not to mention that they might not need the pity of others.

I'd better mind myself.

Tao Tao sighed and continued to look at his manuscript.

"Buzz."

At this moment, Tao Tao's mobile phone rang, and this time she didn't turn her phone to silent, because she was afraid of missing Jiang Jinchen's news.

"Hello?"

Tao Tao smiled, put down the pen and picked up the phone.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Jinchen's gentle voice came from the other side of the phone.

"I'm preparing for the game."

Tao Tao said to Jiang Jinchen.

"Thank you, my Miss Peach."

"Hahaha, what's the hard work." 123 Literary Network

No matter how Tao Tao listened, how did she feel that Jiang Jinchen was coquettish, this man ......

"What do you want to eat at night?"

Jiang Jinchen's purpose in making this call was actually to ask her what she was eating.

"Hmmm......"

Tao Tao actually doesn't really have anything special to eat.

"Otherwise, I don't have anything special to eat."

"Okay then."

Jiang Jinchen nodded over there.

"Would you like to try my craft?"

"Huh?"

Tao Tao was really scared this time.

"Do you know how to cook?"

She never thought that Jiang Jinchen would be able to cook.

"Of course."

Jiang Jinchen laughed very stinkingly.

"Then it's decided."

"yes, okay."

Tao Tao couldn't hold back her happiness and laughed.

She can now make up the way Jiang Jinchen cooks, and she is really afraid that he will blow up the kitchen.

"Are you ......?"

Jiang Jinchen listened to Tao Tao's strange laughter and felt a little wrong.

"No, no, I'm sure you can do it well."

Tao Tao quickly waved his hand and explained when he heard it, but Jiang Jinchen didn't believe it.

"Okay, you don't believe me."

Jiang Jinchen snorted twice.

"You'll regret it."

Tao Tao listened to Jiang Jinchen's arrogant voice, and couldn't help laughing anymore.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, I believe it, can't I believe it?"

Jiang Jinchen was silent.

"You wait."

Then he finally let out a cruel word, and there was no more sound.

Tao Tao finally held back a laugh, and then fed it tentatively.

"What?"

It's so cute.

Tao Tao felt for the first time that Jiang Jinchen was really a treasure.

"Okay, okay, I'm sure you can't do it."

Tao Tao finally compromised.

"Alright then, I'll pick you up in the evening."

"Got it."

Tao Tao nodded, agreed, and then hung up the phone.

"It's really ......"

Tao Tao shook her head helplessly, but she couldn't stop the smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Finished fighting?"

"Well, it's over."

Tao Tao replied happily.

Eh, wait......

She finally realized that something was wrong, she turned her head, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Qiong who was leaning against the door with her arms crossed.

Then she felt a murderous aura.

Finished.

She was so engrossed that she didn't hear the door open.

"You, you're back."

Tao Tao suddenly stood up from the chair, and then showed a smirk.

Xiao Qiong frowned.

"It's been a long time coming."

"Uh......"

Tao Tao's embarrassed hands and feet didn't know where to put them.

Fortunately, the murderous aura on Xiao Qiong's body disappeared quickly, and then he smiled at Tao Tao and walked back to the table.

"Sit down."

Tao Tao wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and looked at Xiao Qiong's sudden face suspiciously.

She felt that Xiao Qiong had been getting stranger and stranger recently......

I can't put it into words.

"Manuscript."

"Ah, here it is."

When Tao Tao heard it, he hurriedly handed him the manuscript.

Then the two of them fell silent, and the sound of footsteps could be heard in the corridor all around.

After a long time, Xiao Qiong finally spoke.

"Good."

He nodded, then returned the manuscript to her.

"There's no need to change it anymore, you just follow this."

"Okay."

Tao Tao took the manuscript and put it on the table.

"Then I'll tell you some tricks."

Xiao Qiong poured Tao Tao a glass of water again and put it in front of her.

Tao Tao didn't move.

Xiao Qiong smiled absently, then took out a book for her to come closer, and explained to her softly.

The two of them quickly became immersed in it.

This rare and beautiful atmosphere was broken by Tao Tao's call.

Tao Tao was frightened, and then she quickly glanced at Xiao Qiong apologetically, turned around and picked up the phone.

"Little Peach, where are you, come back quickly, our water pipe is broken, I don't know how to get ......"

Meng Yuqian's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, echoing in the quiet office.

Tao Tao glanced at Xiao Qiong quietly, only to see him smile knowingly, then put away the book and walked to the bookshelf.

"Okay, I'll be back right away."

"The ......"

Tao Tao looked at Xiao Qiong's background, which seemed to be a little lonely, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"You go back."

"Good ......"

Tao Tao packed up his things, and then planned to turn around and walk out.

Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly saw the glass of water that had long since been left dead on the table.

She glanced at Xiao Qiong's back, then hesitated, but still picked up the cup and took a sip.

Xiao Qiong turned around after hearing the sound of the door closing, looked at the water in the cup that was still gently shaking, and lowered her head.
