Chapter 37 Sweet and sour oranges

Yuan Qian smiled and agreed, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the picture disappeared...... Shook his head helplessly, laughing at his innocence.

Just as he was leaving, the lamp under the porch suddenly turned on, and his shadow was reflected in the shadow of the lamp, pulling the old man. At the same time, Momoko walked out and saw him and called out in surprise, "Second Young Master." ”

Yuan Qian nodded, "It's so late..... Tao Tao hasn't slept yet? ”

"I slept, but I woke up in pain, and I didn't dare to speak out for fear that my wife would worry. I thought, go to the kitchen and get her some supper, I don't have much to eat tonight. ”

"Oh......" Yuan Qian asked, wanting to turn around and leave, but Momoko stopped him again, "Second Young Master...... Why don't you go in and talk to Miss for a while, she always has nightmares these days, and there is no one around at this time, I'm afraid she will be afraid. ”

"Always having nightmares? Why didn't you report it? Yuan Qian's tone carried some reproach.

"Miss won't let me say it."

"If she doesn't let her say it, she won't say it? Isn't there still me in this house? Yuan Qian said and climbed the stairs. Momoko opened the curtain for him, and when she saw him enter, she turned around to get supper with confidence.

Tao Tao unkempt his hair, crooked on the bed, holding a book in his hand, one hand still wrapped in a bandage, a little haggard. Hearing the sound, she didn't look up, "You're back so soon?" ”

There was no response, she raised her head and saw Yuan Qian staring at her, with a look in his eyes that she couldn't read. The sentence "second brother......" choked in his throat.

Yuan Qian moved a stool and sat beside her, "Does it still hurt?" There was an orange on the bedside table, and Yuan Qian held it in his hand and peeled it off little by little.

Tao Tao watched him focus on peeling oranges, just like in the past, she was sick, and the first person she saw when she opened her eyes was always him, and he did it like now, also peeling oranges in his hands. When she woke up, he handed over a petal and put it in her mouth, and said with a smile, "It's really timed, I just peeled ......."

She frowned, "sour...... he put one in his mouth, "a little...... Then don't eat it. ”

She shook her head, "I want to eat ......" and he put it in her mouth one by one, at first it was sour, but then it became sweeter and sweeter.

This time he peeled it, but it didn't reach her mouth, and he looked at the peeled orange and was silent for a long time. Then he looked up at her and asked for her opinion, "Do you want to eat?" ”

She shook her head, not because she didn't want to eat, but because they had all changed today. Before, he wouldn't have consulted her, and he wouldn't have been so polite......

He tore off a petal and put it in his mouth, sour...... It's really sour. And a hint of bitterness. Just like his heart.

He put the peeled orange back in its place, and after a while he slowly spoke, "Didn't you always want to go to Yenching University?" It just so happens that I have some connections with their school leaders, and if you want to go, I'll help you go back and go through the transfer procedures......"

"Didn't you agree with me going to Beijing at the beginning?"

"...... then"

"What made you change your mind? Is it the meaning of the big brother? ”

"It's not...... It was my idea. ”

"I finally got used to life there, and I finally got into that atmosphere, and now you say let me leave, just leave?" Tao Tao glared angrily, a little hysterical.

"Tao Tao ......" Yuan Qian regretted that he really shouldn't have mentioned it at this time, or he shouldn't have had this idea from the beginning. What if she did agree? He didn't know what he was tempting.

But her big reaction was beyond his expectations, and the Tao Tao who blew up Mao was the most powerless for him.

"I don't want to see you anymore." Tao Tao knelt on the bed and began to chase people.

Yuan Qian stepped forward to appease her impulse, but Tao Tao grabbed the pillow behind him and smashed it. But because of the excessive force, she pulled her arm and grinned in pain.

Yuan Qian threw away the pillow and rushed over, "...... Show me. ”

Tao Tao's tears fell, "I don't want you to care about ......"

Ignoring her resistance, Yuan Qian took her into his arms, "I'm sorry...... It was my fault...... I didn't consider your feelings. Let's not go...... Won't go anywhere....."

Tao Tao hammered him with one hand, but the fist that turned into anger was as light as cotton, and it had no effect. But for Yuan Qian, it was as heavy as a boulder. He was helpless and powerless......

Later, he waited for her to fall asleep before going back. Tao Tao has always been his unspeakable sorrow......

The war in the south is the focus of many people's attention, and even more so for the Pei family. The newspaper Mrs. Pei must read every day, and she always tries her best to find news of Yongqian from it.

On the day that Yuan Qian and Yunhe left for Shanghai, news of a great victory came from the south. Yongqian's 19th Division and 19th Brigade conquered Hunan and took the lead in the first victory of the Southern Campaign.

This is exciting news for Nanjing, but for Mrs. Pei, she wants her son to be safe and sound. Yongqian was directly promoted to major general because of this battle. This year, his soaring speed is like a rocket, which has caused many people to be dissatisfied. However, due to the obstacles of all parties, they dare not speak out.

Tao Tao has been recuperating at home because of an arm injury, and the agreement with Zhao Kangping can only be temporarily abandoned.

On the day of school, Yuan Qian sent Chengyu to pick up Tao Tao. Along the way, I heard Chengyu and Momoko say that Mingsheng's first steamer has been officially launched.

Peaches danced happily, "Miss, the second young master has succeeded." ”

Tao Tao was silent, this was his dream, he had said very early on that he wanted to let Chinese ships go to the world, and he only took the first step. The road behind is still long, long...... She didn't know what he would go through, but she always believed that he would succeed one day.

The first thing Tao Tao did when he returned to school was to find Meng Ruihua, and after a winter vacation, he missed her.

Meng Ruihua went back to school early, and the two girls hugged happily as soon as they met, Ruihua asked her how she was doing, and also mentioned Yongqian's wedding to her, and she read the report in the newspaper.

She said, "Tao Tao, I really envy you, the two sisters-in-law are so beautiful." ”

Tao Tao asked her how she was doing, and she flickered and didn't say much.

The days are still the same, and the life of the students is simple and repeated. It's the day of the weekend again, Tao Tao didn't mention it to Yuan Qian before, and Yuan Qian didn't ask, so she didn't plan to go back according to her own thoughts.

However, there was still a car to pick her up on the day of school, but this time, it was not the Pei family who came to pick her up, but the Chen family.

The driver pulled her to the Chen Mansion, Tao Tao knew that it was Yunhe's meaning, she thought Yuan Qian was also there, but she didn't expect him to be there.

"Thinking that you have been on vacation for the past two days, Yuan Qian may also be busy, so I will take you back on my own initiative, and my mother misses you too."

Tao Tao smiled slightly: "Thank you, second sister-in-law." ”

As soon as she entered, Mrs. Chen greeted her and hugged Tao Tao, "Oh, this girl is getting more and more beautiful." Chen's mother expressed her admiration from the bottom of her heart.

At this time, there was a sound, Chen Zhihe came down from upstairs with a group of friends, and Zhao Kangping was also among them, looking at Tao Tao with a smile on his face.

Tao Tao smiled and said hello......

I don't know if Yunhe did it on purpose, arranged her seat with Zhao Kangping's, and Zhao Kangping also gentlemanly pulled a chair for her. Tao Tao smiled slightly, which was considered a return gift.

As soon as he sat down, he asked her in a low voice, "Is your arm alright?" ”

"Much better......"

"I was going to find your ...... when I was done"

"Oh, what are you talking about, Kangping, you are talking to each other." Yunhe looked at the two in front of him with a smile.

Zhao Kangping thought that Tao Tao would be embarrassed, but she didn't, and said to Yunhe very calmly, "The second sister-in-law is really getting more and more nosy." ”

After eating, Zhao Kangping personally drove Tao Tao back, "I will stay in Shanghai for a while......

"Oh..... That's not great. Tao Tao responded to him.

Zhao Kangping stopped the car and walked over to help Tao Tao open the door, "I haven't had a chance to ask, I want to ask today...... I asked you a question in Beijing, I don't know if you have thought about it? ”

Tao Tao didn't expect it at all, he suddenly asked this question, in fact, she had thought about it, but then a lot of things happened, in fact, she didn't have to think about it, and others made a choice for her.

"I ......," Tao Tao looked at her, not knowing how to answer him.

"Tao Tao," he interrupted her, "I don't want to put pressure on you, I don't want you to be burdened, and I don't want you to promise me anything else, I didn't exchange any conditions with anyone, all I like is that your people have nothing to do with anything else." ”

He said something so true that she was a little bit of a villain, and she said, "I'm sorry...... My heart is in turmoil right now, I really don't know how to answer you, I know I should promise you, but it seems to be unfair to you......"

Tao Tao saw that he didn't react, so he turned around and was about to leave, but just a few steps later, he was pulled into Zhao Kangping's arms, "It's enough for me to like you......"

Tao Tao didn't react for a while, so she let him hold it like that, she was very confused in her heart, and she wanted to refuse, but she couldn't refuse.

Yuan Qian came to the school to pick up Tao Tao to eat together, and had a meeting in the afternoon, so it was a little late to come here, and he didn't want to see Zhao Kangping who sent Tao Tao back as soon as the car drove into the campus.

He didn't speak, and Chengyu didn't dare to squeak, hoping that Zhao Kangping would leave early, but what he didn't expect was that Zhao Kangping actually hugged Tao Tao, and Tao Tao didn't have any intention of resisting.

He didn't dare to look at Yuan Qian's face anymore, and after a while Yuan Qian said, "Go back." ”

Chengyu started the car, and through the rearview mirror, he clearly saw the two people hugging each other, and he said, "Young master, where are we going?" ”

"Let's go back to Mingsheng."

The second young master hasn't eaten yet, and it seems that the restaurant he specially ordered him to book today can only be canceled......

Tao Tao returned to the dormitory, feeling irritable, so he went to find Meng Ruihua, but came to her dormitory and was told that he was not there. She could only come back dejected, thinking to herself where she had gone so late?
