Tao Ye's anger did not subside, the computer completed the steps of booting, the screen lit up, he snapped the computer shut again, and looked at the computer sulking.

Tao Ye noticed that Xiaoting had bought a new table lamp and put it on the corner of the table, and the label was still hanging on the lamp. The table lamp has an extended boom, the boom is divided into two sections that can be retracted and folded and rotated, and the front end is a small iron lampshade, which looks like a work lamp, making the small space of the desk look more studio.

Tao Ye saw a model of a Harley motorcycle next to the lamp, he took the model in his hand and looked at it, the model was actually a piggy bank, and there was a password, very childish for a little girl. Tao Ye felt a little funny in his heart, his face was not so tense, he looked a little smiling, and then shook his head and sighed with self-reproach.

。。。

Xiao Ting sobbed and ran out of the door, the cold wind of winter made her angry nerves sober up a lot, she quickly zipped up the down jacket, in fact, she didn't know where she was going. There is a university near the community, she once went for a walk on the playground with Tao Ye after dinner, Xiaoting walked through the community, crossed the road, and walked into the university gate.

At five o'clock, it was getting late, it was the time to get out of class, the broadcast of the school radio station resounded throughout the campus, and the female announcer of the student union reported the school events in a sweet and impassioned voice. There are crowds of people going to the canteen and dormitory from the direction of the teaching building on all roads in the school, and Xiaoting walks aimlessly against the direction of the crowd, constantly passing by these college students of her own age.

The college students talked and laughed, but Xiaoting looked sad. As she walked, Xiaoting found that she was a little bit of a head turner, and even a few boys whispered about themselves after walking past her. Xiao Ting couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy in her heart, and an unconscious smile appeared on her face, and the confidence that had just been hit by Tao Ye seemed to be the heat of her body returning.

However, Xiaoting suddenly felt a little embarrassed to go against the crowd like this, and she saw a supermarket on the first floor of the roadside dormitory building, so she hurriedly walked in.

The supermarket is full of goods, crowded with people, all of them are college students who have just gotten out of class with schoolbags and water cups on their backs, and there are several couples who are in love at first glance. Xiaoting was empty-handed, and there was nothing to buy, she suddenly felt a little at a loss, she wandered around the middle of the shelves twice, and finally only bought a few ice creams, and quickly settled the bill and left the supermarket.

At the door of the supermarket, she overheard a boy calling his girlfriend, the boy was tall and thin, very handsome, but his face was immature, and he was complaining aggrievedly.

"I didn't do my linear algebra homework, so I went to the movies with you, can't you forgive me once, I swear to go to the library every day to help you occupy a seat, okay!"

"Childish."

Xiao Ting couldn't help but laugh secretly and whispered to herself.

It was already completely dark, as if the tide had receded, and the crowd that had just been surging on the school road had receded, and the campus radio had turned into soft music.

Xiaoting's mood improved, as if she had forgotten the grievances she had suffered in Tao Ye just now, and while eating ice cream, she walked towards the school with relaxed steps.

In the corridor of Tao Ye's house, Xiaoting was climbing the stairs, and WeChat came in on her mobile phone, she stopped and looked at it, it was sent to her by Tao Ye, writing "Where have you been, come back quickly." ”

Xiao Ting immediately happily almost jumped up to the sixth floor, and walked to the door of the house, and the naughty drums like drums knocked on the door intensively.

Before going to bed at night, Tao Ye leaned on the head of the bed and played mobile games, and Xiaoting sat at the table doing facial skin care.

"I know why you... Xiao Ting suddenly said to Tao Ye.

"What, why?"

Tao Ye stared at the phone screen and asked absentmindedly.

"You are used to being alone, lacking no one to care about and no one to love."

Tao Ye was noncommittal, his eyes were still fixed on the game, and he sneered self-deprecatingly.

"You're thinking too much!"

"Yes, so I'll forgive you, in fact, I came back on my own initiative, and I only received your message when I got to the door."

Tao Ye deliberately asked knowingly, "Is this important?" Non-scoring is a first-come, first-served! ”

"Of course, it proves that I'm not the kind of girl you call and linger."

"You're pretending to be strong too much, it's not the place to be strong."

"Whatever you say, you can't hit me. Who am I afraid of, I am young and beautiful, and you will only get older and older in the future. ”

Xiaoting was smearing night frost on her face in the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help showing off, trying to hit the "old" man in front of her. Tao Ye's eyes were still staring at the game, and when he heard Xiaoting say this, he pretended to laugh disdainfully twice.

At the end of a game, Tao Ye turned his head to look at Xiao Ting, he saw the piggy bank on the table again, so he asked, "Why did you buy a piggy bank?" ”

"Save money, how is it, is it good?"

"Well, okay, how many passwords?"

"I won't tell you!"

"You're afraid I'll steal your money, right?"

"If you have money, you have to put it in, and it will add up to a lot."

"Who still uses cash now, isn't it the same as putting it on Alipay and WeChat?"

"That's different, there is no sense of ritual at all, and besides, this money must be used for a special purpose, and it can't be misappropriated casually."

"What are you going to do with it, when you run away from home and run away?"

Xiao Ting glared at Tao Ye: "Are you still a little serious?" ”

"Okay, I was wrong, I was wrong."

A new round of the game has started again, and Tao Ye is busy again.

After a while, Xiaoting suddenly said, "When you save enough money, go buy a motorcycle, I haven't ridden in your car yet." ”

It turned out that Xiaoting was saving money to help herself buy a new car, Xiaoting's tone of voice seemed to be relaxed and unintentional, Tao Ye was very moved when he heard it, but he deliberately pretended to be indifferent to cover it up.

"You can't save much money for such a small thing."

After turning off the light and lying down, in the dark, Xiaoting suddenly said seriously and affectionately: "Let's stop arguing in the future, okay?" Good together! ”

Tao Ye said "um", he stretched out his arm, Xiao Ting snuggled over, and rested her head in the crook of Tao Ye's arm.

"I'll get you a key tomorrow." Tao Ye said.

"Yes, yes." Xiaoting became happy, "I also peeked at your household registration book." ”

"Just look at it, why do you still peek, if you want to see it, you can look at it generously."

"Poor boy!"

Xiaoting's motherhood is overflowing, and her words are full of pity.

。。。

In the lively vegetable market, in front of the booth with keys, Xiaoting and Tao Ye were choosing the key base material, and the boss took a few aluminum and iron blanks to show them.

"That's eight bucks."

"Why is it so light?" Xiaoting weighed the embryo and put it down, and picked up a handful of copper ones and weighed them in her hand, "This is good, heavy." ”

"It's expensive!"

"Which one do you think is better?" Xiaoting handed the embryo to Tao Ye.

"It's pretty much the same."

"Then you want copper, the feeling of aluminum will break after a few twists."

The boss was turning the blank on the lathe, listening to the harsh noise of the lathe planing and milling metal, and watching the metal chips splash with some sporadic small sparks, Xiaoting couldn't help but be happy.

。。。

There are new changes in the house every day, the girls' clothes are colorful, so the bright warm colors in the home are more, all kinds of gadgets and small ornaments are more, there are more bottles and cans of cosmetics, a wide variety of snacks and all kinds of bread and pastries.

Xiaoting came back from school from the art examination class, like a hard-working little bee, and began to clean up at home again, and today's goal is the kitchen. Tao Yejia's refrigerator has been around for many years, and the freezer layer is always thick with ice, and the storage compartment is frozen and solid, and it takes a lot of effort to pry it open every time. Xiaoting poured out all the contents of the refrigerator, then turned off the electricity, waited for the ice to melt slowly, and took advantage of this time to start cleaning the stove and range hood again.

Tao Ye's work is irregular, as long as this single job is not completed, it is basically on call. The crew who sent him a few days ago has not contacted him again, his expenses have not been settled, and there has been no reply to the WeChat message to the assistant director. He was very happy to see Xiaoting busy in the kitchen, and he was embarrassed to stare and stand by, so he decided to go to the crew.

。。。

Tao Ye came to the express hotel where the crew was located, but he didn't expect that the crew had already left the room, and another film crew was recruiting actors here. Tao Ye immediately understood what was going on, the crew was yellow, and he was maliciously owed wages.

Tao Ye walked out of the hotel helplessly, thinking about how to get back the money that the crew owed him, he saw Wen Hao, Wen Hao and a middle-aged woman in her forties walking towards the hotel together, the woman was dressed professionally, dressed exquisitely, looking shrewd and even ruthless.

"Hey, why are you here, so coincidentally."

Wen Hao also saw Tao Ye, stopped to talk to Tao Ye, and the woman walked into the hotel first.

"There's a job ... How did you get here? ”

"I made an appointment with an employer to talk about my project."

"Yo, found the money?"

"Let's talk about it first, if there are dates or not, let's hit a shot first."

"How did you get here? There are a lot of scammers here, so be careful. ”

Tao Ye has developed a certain prejudice against the art of cinema that originated at the Express Hotel.

"What can I be fooled of! How long are you going to do this job? ”

", don't mention it, I guess I can't prepare for it."

"Huh? How so... ”

"You still owe me money, run away, you idiots." Tao Ye was angry and disdainful.

The woman who came with her was waiting for Wen Hao in the hotel lobby, with an anxious look on her face, Wen Hao saw it and hurriedly said goodbye to Tao Ye.

"I'll go over first, and we'll talk later."

Wen Hao hurriedly entered the hotel.

。。。

In the kitchen, Xiaoting took a bottle of perfume and sprayed it in the air a few times, and fanned it with her hand to let the aroma spread. The kitchen has been spotlessly cleaned up by Xiaoting, and the stove is polished.

Xiao Ting returned to the room, collapsed on the sofa, let out a sigh, and stretched her limbs comfortably. There were a lot of snacks and fruits piled up on the coffee table in front of him. After a while, Xiaoting picked up an orange, picked up the orange peel, clicked on the computer, and replayed the suspended Japanese drama.

Xiaoting gently put the orange petal into her mouth, chewed it contentedly, twisted a piece of orange peel with her fingers and squeezed it in the air, and the juice in the orange peel was squeezed into the air.

At this moment, there was a sound of opening the door, Tao Ye came back, Xiao Ting happily greeted him, and jumped on Tao Ye at once, Tao Ye hurriedly hugged Xiao Ting, and the two of them were tired for a while, and Xiao Ting jumped down.

Tao Ye sniffled and asked, "Why is it so fragrant?" ”

"Yes, it's fragrant and sweet, doesn't it feel like you're in a flower?"

"It's getting more and more like your boudoir, and it has nothing to do with me anymore." Tao Ye sniffed again, "It seems that there is something else." ”

Xiao Ting spread out her hand and had two pieces of orange peel in her hand, "The smell of orange peel." ”

Xiaoting put all the remaining orange peels on the coffee table in her hands, walked over and put them on the windowsill, where some orange peels were already stored.

"You are not allowed to smoke in the room in the future, otherwise I will smell of smoke all over my body, but it will smell bad."

Tao Ye asked puzzledly: "Why are you saving so many orange peels?" ”

"Make tangerine peel, you can soak in water and drink it to cook in the future." Xiaoting carefully spread out the orange peel and laid it out.

"Wait for your tangerine peel to be cooked, then it will be the Year of the Monkey."

"Tangerine peel is the longer the better, symbolizing beautiful love, isn't it!"

Tao Ye was shocked by Xiao Ting's metaphor and got goosebumps, pretending to shiver a few times.

"What are you doing, hateful!" Xiao Ting glared at Tao Ye angrily.

Xiaoting dragged Tao Ye to the kitchen again, opened the refrigerator door, and showed off the fruits of her labor.

"Look, I've cleaned all the fridges, you used to be really dirty."

The refrigerator was neat and tidy, full of food and drink, and a few bottles of beer, and the kitchen was also neat and tidy, Tao Ye couldn't help but sigh.

"Yo, I didn't see it, you're quite good at working, I thought you were pampered."

"Happy, with such a good girlfriend as me, it's still an assistant type." Xiaoting took out a bottle of beer again, "Do you want to drink beer?" ”

"Drink!"

Tao Ye took it and bit the cap directly with his teeth.

"Oops, there's a bottle driver!"

Tao Ye hurriedly poured a big sip on his neck, and walked back to the bedroom while drinking, Xiao Ting followed behind.

Xiaoting suddenly said again: "Let's raise a puppy." ”

Tao Ye was startled, and the wine squirted out of his mouth at once.

"No, I'm scared like this, I like a little teddy, it's just over half a year old, it's fun."

"You won't cut it again again," Tao Zhi was apprehensive.

"Almost."

"Buying a dog is not like buying a bed, a dog is a life."

"That's why I discussed it with you."

"Forget it, you're as energetic as Teddy, and you're enough."

"You're not at home, I'm too bored." Xiaoting does not give up.

"The dog has to be skated several times a day, if you are admitted, the dormitory, who cares about the dog."

"Why do you say the same thing as my dad, they won't let me raise it at home."

"You're here to take the exam, not to live." Tao Ye didn't think twice and cut it to the chase.

"What do you mean? I'm going to have to move out after the exam, right? Xiaoting's eyes were red.

"I mean, you have to concentrate on reviewing, have no distractions, have to have that kind of pre-exam state, get up early, be greedy for sleep, forget to eat, and can't wait to comb your head and not wash your face...

"What if I don't pass the test?"

"Don't talk nonsense, no!"

"Actually, you don't love me, at most you do, don't you?"

"Now I'm talking about studying for exams."

"You never said you loved me, and that day I knew you didn't sleep...

"What do you mean?" Tao Ye was a little confused.

"It's the day I bought the bed, I'll tell you... Then you pretend to be asleep and don't speak. ”

"What, what did you say? How I don't remember. Tao Ye seemed to remember, but he still denied it.

"Then you say it now." Xiaoting did not give up.

"Say what?"

"Say you love me!"

Tao Ye hesitated and didn't open his mouth.

Xiao Ting stared at Tao Ye's eyes, chasing after her: "Is it so difficult?" Is it so strenuous? ”

"No, there has to be an atmosphere."

Xiaoting sneered: "Forget it!" ”

Xiaoting turned around and walked away, sat on the sofa, and sulked. Tao Ye walked over, stood in front of Xiao Ting, and looked at Xiao Ting condescendingly.

"Let's not quarrel again for two days, okay!"

Xiao Ting ignored him, Tao Ye looked at Xiao Ting helplessly, and the atmosphere was tense. At this time, Tao Ye's mobile phone rang suddenly, someone called him, and Tao Ye picked up the phone. Xiao Ting was a little nervous, and looked at Tao Ye as if nothing had happened, and couldn't hear what was said on the phone.

Tao Ye hung up the phone and pretended to be entangled in work, "Wen Hao asked me to have dinner and talk about something in the evening, I have to go out." ”

Xiaoting pretended not to care, "Go." ”

Tao Ye put on the coat he had just taken off again, and asked flatteringly, "Do you need me to bring you some back." ”

"No!"

"Then I'm leaving."

Tao Ye was just about to leave, Xiaoting suddenly asked, "Don't you want to be good with me at all?" ”

Tao Ye sighed helplessly, "Don't think nonsense, read a book at home." ”

Tao Ye left, Xiaoting's eyes were red, and she forced herself to hold back.

Tao Ye quickly walked downstairs, walked out of the door, and let out a long breath, relieved, it was completely dark outside.
