Chapter 33: Each other's names
As a result, as soon as he opened his eyes the next day, Jiang Jinchen saw the girl who was squatting in front of him and looking at him carefully.
Jiang Jinchen was taken aback, and then he bounced up from the ground and looked at her with a grim face.
"yes, I'm sorry, didn't I scare you?"
After the girl saw Jiang Jinchen's reaction, a guilty expression quickly climbed onto her face.
Then she stood up awkwardly and stepped back step by step, keeping a safe distance from Jiang Jinchen.
"I ......"
Jiang Jinchen didn't know what to say all of a sudden.
He felt that he should not treat her like this, because she was the one who gave him food, so he should respect her and thank her.
"That, yes, I'm sorry, I'm ......"
Jiang Jinchen stood aside and didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and then he looked up at the girl cautiously.
"Hahaha, did I scare you?"
When the girl saw Jiang Jinchen's appearance, she felt inexplicably cute.
"Hmm...... No no. ”
Jiang Jinchen quickly shook his head when he heard this, and then looked at the girl with a blank expression.
"Can I stay here with you for a while?"
The girl's big eyes looked at Jiang Jinchen without blinking, and then asked with burning eyes.
"Huh?"
Jiang Jinchen was frightened by the girl's words.
Is she willing to stay with me?
In fact, seeing that she did appear in front of him today, Jiang Jinchen was already very surprised.
And now she even says she's willing to stay with me?
The girl looked at Jiang Jinchen with her head down and was silent, so she smiled awkwardly.
"Haha, it's okay, then I'll go."
After the girl finished speaking, she put down the bun she had been holding in her hand and turned around slightly.
"Wait, wait."
Jiang Jinchen panicked suddenly, he quickly raised his head and whispered to stop the girl.
"Huh?"
The girl looked back at him in surprise.
"You, come and sit."
Jiang Jinchen coughed twice in embarrassment, then pointed to the ground and sent an invitation to the girl.
"Okay."
The girl grinned happily when she heard this, and then she immediately turned and walked to the cushion on the floor.
However, just as she was about to sit on the ground, Jiang Jinchen suddenly stopped her.
"Wait!"
"Huh?"
The girl looked up at him with a puzzled expression.
Jiang Jinchen stared at her snow-white dress, and then pointed to the cushion on the ground.
"You, sit there."
The girl was stunned for a moment, but she reacted quickly, she looked at Jiang Jinchen with a smile, replied yes, and sat down on the mat.
Jiang Jinchen hesitated, but still sat opposite the girl.
"That...... What's your name? ”
Jiang Jinchen suddenly remembered his plan last night, so he hurriedly asked the girl's name.
"Me, my name is Tao Tao."
The girl's smile was bright.
Jiang Jinchen looked at the smile on her face, and suddenly her heart fluttered.
……
Jiang Jinchen was silent.
"Hey, don't you even think my name is weird?"
Tao Tao looked at Jiang Jinchen, who was suddenly silent, and then whispered.
"Huh?"
Jiang Jinchen looked at the girl in front of him who seemed to be a little disappointed, with an unclear expression.
"You didn't even ask me what my name was."
Tao Tao pouted and looked at him with a disappointed face.
"Ah, I ......"
Jiang Jinchen reacted suddenly, and then he looked at Tao Tao at a loss.
"So, what are your names?"
Jiang Jinchen touched the corner of his clothes, and then asked.
"Hahaha."
Tao Tao nodded with great satisfaction after hearing Jiang Jinchen's inquiry, and then raised her chin proudly.
"Listen up, my name is very nice."
Jiang Jinchen looked at the girl's cute appearance, and suddenly smiled imperceptibly.
"The first pottery is Tao Yuanming's pottery."
As soon as the girl's voice fell, before Jiang Jinchen could react, she continued.
"Do you know Tao Yuanming, he is a very great poet, and I especially admire him."
Jiang Jinchen smiled and looked at the girl with a happy face, and then nodded.
"yes, I know."
"Yes, right, I especially like one of his poems, after a long time in the cage, I can return to nature."
"The teacher told us that this is Tao Yuanming's yearning for freedom and beauty."
"Actually, I am too, I also really want to be free, I really hope that one day, like Tao Yuanming, can live freely."
Jiang Jinchen looked at the girl in front of him who was smiling and talking about his ideals, and couldn't help but think of himself.
How could it be otherwise?
In fact, Tao Yuanming wrote this poem not only to express his yearning for a free and simple life, but also to express his disgust with the dark and corrupt life of officialdom.
Jiang Jinchen thought of himself.
Although he has been accustomed to seeing these darkness since he was a child, he never thought that this kind of thing would befall him one day.
So from now on, he is determined to take back what belongs to him, and then overthrow these glooms that are disgusting to the world.
"Hey, are you listening to me?"
Tao Tao looked at Jiang Jinchen, who had fallen into his own world in front of him, and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of him.
"Ah, I'm listening."
Jiang Jinchen reacted immediately, and then looked at the girl.
"Hahaha, then I'll continue."
Tao Tao smiled mysteriously at Jiang Jinchen, and then said.
"The second peach is the peach of the peach."
Jiang Jinchen was suddenly stunned when he heard it.
Tao Tao looked at the expression on Jiang Jinchen's face, and then narrowed his eyes.
"Well, isn't it cute."
Jiang Jinchen silently read Tao Tao's name several times in his heart, and felt that it was indeed very good.
It's also easy to remember.
If we meet again in the future......
Jiang Jinchen thought that if he could see her again in the future, he would definitely say to Tao Tao, your name is really cute, what are the two words.
"Okay, I'm done with my name, what about yours?"
Tao Tao looked at Jiang Jinchen, who lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and then asked.
"I ......"
Jiang Jinchen raised his head to look at Tao Tao, and suddenly found that it seemed that no one had asked his name for a long time.
"My name is Jiang Jinchen."
After Jiang Jinchen finished speaking, he looked at Tao Tao's eyes staring at him without blinking, and then he pursed his lips.
"The river is the river of the Yangtze River."
"Jin is Zhou Gongjin's Jin."
"Tatsu is the tainer of the stars."
After Jiang Jinchen finished speaking, he added another sentence in a whisper when Tao Tao was thinking about which words they were.
"That...... The first meeting, please, please take care of it. ”
Tao Tao was suddenly stunned when she heard his words, and it took her a while to react.
Then she said to Jiang Jinchen with a smile.
"Why are you so formal, since we all know each other's names, then we will be friends in the future."
After Tao Tao finished speaking, she happily stuck out her tongue at Jiang Jinchen.
Jiang Jinchen looked at the smiling girl in front of him in a daze.
I don't think I've ever had a friend.
Jiang Jinchen suddenly bared his teeth and laughed happily.
I'll have friends in the future.
However, Tao Tao didn't know what Jiang Jinchen was thinking at this time.
She shook her head and looked around, and suddenly saw the bag of buns placed next to Jiang Jinchen's pillow.
"You ......"
Tao Tao stared at the bag of buns for a while, and then raised his head to look at Jiang Jinchen.
"Are you...... Don't like to eat? ”
"What?"
Jiang Jinchen looked suspiciously in the direction that Tao Tao pointed to, and then saw the buns that he was not willing to eat yesterday.
"Oh, no, no, no."
Jiang Jinchen looked at Tao Tao's expression that seemed to be a little disappointed, and then quickly waved his hand to explain.
"It's not that I don't like to eat, I just ...... I can't bear to eat them all. ”
Jiang Jinchen lowered his head as he spoke.
Tao Tao heard Jiang Jinchen say this, and suddenly fell silent.
After a while, she picked up the bag of buns she had just bought today, walked to Jiang Jinchen's side, and then sat on the ground without mind.
"You, you get up, your skirt should be dirty......"
Seeing this, Jiang Jinchen suddenly held Tao Tao's arm and wanted to pull her up from the ground.
"It's okay."
Tao Tao smiled at Jiang Jinchen, then opened the bag, took out a bun and handed it to him.
"Come, let's eat together."
Jiang Jinchen took it in a daze, then looked at Tao Tao with a smile and picked up another one from the bag and stuffed it into his mouth happily.
"Isn't it delicious? I love his buns the most. ”
Tao Tao said vaguely while eating.
Jiang Jinchen was amused by Tao Tao's cute appearance, and then he looked down at the bun that was still a little warm, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"What kind of place is this?"
Jiang Jinchen and Tao Tao finished eating the whole bag of steamed buns, and then leaned against the wall together and squinted comfortably in the sun.
"Ah, here ......"
Tao Tao seemed a little hesitant.
"It's just an ordinary alley, there are usually no people, you don't have to worry."
Jiang Jinchen turned his head to look at Tao Tao's fair side face suspiciously, and then asked.
"It's strange why I didn't find out that there was such a place in the city before......"
"Oh, don't worry, I'm the most familiar with this place!"
Tao Tao pretended to frown in displeasure, and then pouted.
"Well, okay, I trust you."
Jiang Jinchen smiled, and then said.
"Well, it's time for me to go......"
Tao Tao looked at the sky.
"Now?"
Jiang Jinchen also looked up at the sky with Tao Tao's gaze, and found that it was still very early.
"Hmmm......"
Tao Tao seemed to want to say something, but in the end he only said one word.
"Well, then you go, be careful on the road."
Jiang Jinchen didn't ask anything in the end, he stood up and watched Tao Tao walk towards the light.
"The ......"
Jiang Jinchen suddenly stopped her behind her back.
"What's wrong?"
Tao Tao turned her head and looked at Jiang Jinchen with a smile.
"Thank you for being with me today."
Jiang Jinchen showed Tao Tao the brightest smile in his life.
Tao Tao was stunned for a moment, and after a while she reacted, and then grinned as well.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
So Tao Tao walked out of the alley under Jiang Jinchen's gaze.
Tao Tao was surrounded by the light of the sun for a moment.
I saw that she was in a barren environment at this time, with no grass growing around her, and there was no shadow of the city at all.
