Chapter 29: Maple Leaf Diagram
It's the day of the weekly weekend again, Pei Yuanqian has been back for five days, but Tao Tao hasn't seen him in person, although he has been constantly news these days, but that is also from the newspaper......
In the past, she would always be the first to know his news, and sometimes it was so detailed that what he saw, what he ate, and what he said, Chengyu would tell her in a joke.
But now, it's really different......
After school, Tao Tao ran into Meng Ruihua as soon as he came out of the classroom, and Ruihua knew that she would go home at this time of the week, so he didn't wait for her to eat together at this time......
"Ruihua ......" Tao Tao saw that she was talking to the people around her and shouted.
"You haven't gone back yet?" Ruihua waved his hand with the classmates around him.
"I'm going back...... What are you doing here? ”
"Eating ......"
"Why don't you go back with me...... Didn't you say you wanted to meet my second brother? Tao Tao invited Ruihua.
"I ......," Meng Ruihua hesitated......
"Let's go...... Let's go......" Under Tao Tao's repeated invitations, Meng Ruihua finally agreed. The two of them ran out of the school building happily holding hands.
Not far away, Chengyu was waiting for her outside the car, Tao Tao was in a happy mood today, and before Chengyu opened the door, she took the initiative to push open the car door, sat in, and waved at Meng Ruihua outside the car, "Come up......"
But as soon as the words came out, she felt that something was wrong, and when she turned around, Yuan Qian tilted his head to look at her.
Tao Tao sat up straight and called out, "Second brother." ”
Chengyu opened the co-pilot's door for Meng Ruihua, and as soon as she got into the car, Tao Tao introduced, "Second brother, this is my classmate, Meng Ruihua." ”
Meng Ruihua also turned around and shouted, "Second Young Master." ”
Yuan Qian responded with a "hello...... and then fell silent.
Meng Ruihua's palms were sweating even more nervously, this was the first time he had seen the real Pei Yuanqian, although it was not real because it was dark, but this unreal illusion was like a dream.
Tao Tao didn't know what to say, but she hadn't seen her for so long, she always felt that she had something to say, but what could she say? Ask him how he has been doing in the past few months? Is there anything new happening? None of this seems to be necessary.
After a long time, Tao Tao said to Chengyu who was driving, "Ruihua and I went back to the mansion directly." Then he turned his head to Yuan Qian and said, "Second brother, I will explain it to my second sister-in-law." ”
"Good ......," Yuan Qian said lazily.
The atmosphere was silent again, Tao Tao felt that it was too stuffy, and deliberately opened the topic.
"Ruihua, how is the repertoire rehearsed by your art club?"
"Pretty skilled." Meng Ruihua's voice was low.
"Is there a single track for you in this New Year's event?"
"There is ......"
"That's great...... Second brother, Ruihua's singing is very good, but it's a pity that you weren't there at the second sister-in-law's birthday party, it's really amazing. ”
"Oh......" Yuan Qian only responded simply.
Later, Tao Tao chattered all the way, all of which were related to school, and he didn't ask a word about Pei Yuanqian......
When they arrived at the Pei Mansion, Tao Tao and Meng Ruihua went in first, and Cheng Yu carried Tao Tao's things and followed behind Yuan Qian.
After Yuan Qian entered the house, he saw Tao Tao on the phone, and his voice was low and Yunhe said sorry. "Second sister-in-law, I took Ruihua back to the mansion, and I'll see you tomorrow."
I don't know what Yunhe said, she said "second sister-in-law bye-bye......" and hung up the phone.
When he came in, Meng Ruihua got up from the sofa, Tao Tao walked over, took her hand, and said to Yuan Qian, "Second brother, I'll take Ruihua up first." ”
Yuan Qian nodded. After Tao Tao and Meng Ruihua went upstairs, Yuan Qian sat down.
Seungwoo walked in with a bag of tight things, and Wonqian asked, "What?" ”
"The painting that Miss brought back, let me help her go to the frame tomorrow."
"Open Me and Look ......"
Chengyu unveiled the packaging layer by layer, thinking that Miss was quite a baby, and she had wrapped so many layers.
After uncovering the last layer of packaging, Chengyu stopped talking, and he didn't even have the courage to take a look at Yuan Qian.
The picture in the picture is the maple leaf picture that Zhao Kangping took Tao Tao to Xiangshan to see that day.
Yuan Qian looked at it for a long time, "I haven't seen any progress in these years...... and then motioned for Chengyu to wrap it up again.
Chengyu hurried away as if he had been amnestied. still remembered the newspaper that Tao Tao gave him that day, he didn't have time to deal with it, and he didn't know how Yuan Qian saw it, so he asked him where he came from. He was hesitant and said that it was given by the young lady.
Later, he managed to get a negative of that photo. This matter is still done by him, you must know that this matter is not easy to do, and the newspaper office of the person he wants to talk about will not give it. Because of this negative, the major newspapers rushed to buy it, and finally he reported to his family, saying that their young master wanted to keep a souvenir for himself, hoping that the newspaper would be completed.
Anyway, in the end, it took a lot of money to get this thing done......
Regarding Tao Tao and Zhao Kangping, he didn't ask a word these days. He thought he would ask a few words when he saw the maple leaf picture, but he still didn't. The hanging heart is still hanging, Seungwoo is about to go crazy, and when he is fine, he chats with Jiming and asks him what to do.
"Act on the opportunity...... these four words, it's better not to say it......
Meng Ruihua woke up early, and as soon as he went downstairs, Pei Yuanqian was already sitting in front of the fireplace drinking tea.
She was a little nervous, and after following Tao Tao upstairs last night, the two of them didn't come down much. She also asked Tao Tao if she wanted to go down to accompany him, and she decisively refused.
"No...... After sitting for a while, he went back. We just read our books. ”
But how could she have the heart to read? A heart is all on the outside.
Tao Tao had a piano in her bedroom, and she was bored, standing for a while, sitting for a while, and finally sitting on a piano bench to study the score.
Tao Tao thought she was interested, so he got up from the bed and played the piano to her.
She had to envy Tao Tao, she was involved in everything, and she did everything well, so she couldn't care about anything.
Later, she said that she wanted to teach her to play the piano, but she couldn't tune it out, and I don't know if the people downstairs heard it.
It seems that he shouldn't have left last night, thinking of this Meng Ruihua's face turned red, didn't he listen to the out-of-tune tune last night?
"Good morning, Miss Meng." It was he who opened his mouth first.
Meng Ruihua also responded, "Second Young Master is early." ”
"Tea or coffee?" He politely consulted her.
"Tea is fine."
The maid quickly brought tea, and she sat not far from him, so that many times she could see his face.
She felt that it was a wonderful thing to just look at him so quietly.
"Thank you for taking care of Tao Tao......"
"No, it should be, are we friends?"
He smiled slightly, looking very good-looking, "She often follows her own temperament, and she doesn't consider the feelings of others, if she suffers any grievances, tell me." This child is spoiled by us, in fact, the closer she is, the more she is like this. ”
"Hmm...... She's really self-reliant, not at all with the temper of the eldest lady......"
Yuan Qian smiled slightly, and Meng Ruihua could see that it was a relieved smile.
"What do you say?" Tao Tao rubbed her eyes and went downstairs, she was still wearing pajamas, her hair was still loose, she was as cute as a doll when she got up early.
Yuan Qian coughed, Tao Tao cut his hair, and smiled, "Second brother, you didn't leave last night......"
Tao Tao knew that if Meng Ruihua wasn't there, she would definitely be punished by him when she came out like this, when she was at home before, she always looked for him like this, and then he said that everyone should be beautiful, and everyone should be beautiful.
Now, before he could speak, she took the initiative to bow her head.
"Go wash and wash, come down to eat, and I'll take you back to the villa in a moment. Didn't you tell your second sister-in-law last night that you wanted to go over? ”
"Oh...... Got it, and here it goes. Tao Tao disappeared at the top of the stairs.
Tao Tao and Meng Ruihua stayed in Pei's Mansion for two days, and Yuan Qian hadn't seen since he had dinner with them and Chen Yunhe that day. I went back to school or sent it by Chengyu.
Tao Tao's painting had already been listed, and when they were going to see Chen Yunhe that morning, Chengyu sent it.
Tao Tao clearly remembered that Meng Ruihua said, "This is the painting you promised to give to Young Master Zhao?" ”
"Oops...... Let's go, just let the peaches be collected for me. ”
Tao Tao pushed Meng Ruihua and inadvertently raised his eyes, Yuan Qian's face that was still smiling just now was already covered with frost. Tao Tao once thought that he had seen it wrong, but when he looked up again, he had recovered as before.
She didn't know what was the reason for his sudden change? Is it because she and Zhao Kangping are too close? How can it be!
When he got on the bus, Meng Ruihua also said to Yuan Qian, "Tao Tao's paintings are among the best in our college, and the principal has praised her many times in front of all the students." ”
"What's the ...... thing," Tao Tao urged her to get into the car.
"Really...... But I've seen that over the years, her paintings haven't improved much. ”
Pei Yuanqian dropped this sentence, and then got into the car, he drove alone, driven by Jiming, she and Tao Tao, or Chengyu drove.
Tao Tao was not happy in the car, "I always say that I haven't improved, everyone is the same as him?" ”
"The second young master can also draw?"
"Not only will I know, but I am very diligent. I started learning at the age of three. How can I have that kind of foundation......"
"Maybe he's encouraging him in disguise?"
"Oops...... My second brother won't ......." Tao Tao has been angry because of this incident......
The two of them were also busy, and his father sent a telegram asking him to go to Nanjing about his eldest brother Yongqian.
Yongqian's matter, after he came back, he listened to what Ji Ming said, he took a telegram to Yongqian, the eldest brother admitted the matter between him and Chu Yunyi, about this matter, the two brothers did want to talk about it face-to-face, but before he could spare time, his father came to the telegram urging him to go to Nanjing.
Yuan Qian arranged the company's affairs and took a boat to Nanjing, and this time both Jiming and Chengyu came with him.
On the boat, Seung-woo told him what Yongqian and Cho Kang-pyeong had said that day when they were drunk.
After hearing this, Yuan Qian was furious. blamed Chengyu for not reporting his knowledge, and hated himself for only worrying about being angry with Tao Tao these days, delaying a lot of things......
