Chapter 122: A Brief Residence of Solitude
"Xiao Youyou, I'll help you watch it, you eat it quickly."
After changing his clothes and returning to the classroom, Tao You hid behind Hong Xiqi, bent down, and hid under the table to eat the rest of the breakfast.
Fortunately, Tao You was not the only one in the class who was rushing for breakfast, and it was not too abrupt when everyone was reading in the morning, and someone even closed the front door to prevent the head teacher from raiding, if she was caught, she would not be the only one who was scolded.
"The bell is about to ring, today is Mrs. Shi, and it will be miserable to be caught." Hong Xiqi reminded that he did not forget to pay attention to the movement at the door.
Song Yimian was still reading the magazine, and there was a Chinese book on the table blocking his view, and he handed the soy milk to Tao You: "Eat slowly, don't choke, don't eat if you can't eat." β
"How did you get out and buy breakfast today?" He asked.
"I think so," Tao You, with the principle of not wasting food, finished eating the cold xiaolongbao with some hard skin, drank soy milk, and said, "My parents went out early in the morning and didn't make breakfast. If I wait until I get up and burn it myself, I don't have to participate in today's morning training. β
Song Yimian stared at the same page of the magazine for a long time, others still thought that the content of that page was so profound and difficult to understand, only Song Yimian knew that he didn't read a word.
"Next time this happens, you can come to my house to eat." Song Yimian said, "Just send me a message in advance." He said, gesturing to the corner of his mouth.
Tao You saw his reminder and wiped the oil from the corners of his mouth, "There is such a good thing?" Wouldn't it be too much trouble. Her eyes lit up for a moment.
When he was a child, Tao You spent a period of time at Song Yimian's house, and Song's mother used to like to study recipes, and she didn't have time to cook complex dishes during the day, so she often turned over the breakfast recipes. The breakfast she makes, in addition to a lot of variety, does not repeat it for a week, and the taste is also a must. Tao You always wanted to rub it again, but after moving, he didn't have a chance.
Song Yimian hooked the corners of his mouth, "Don't worry, my mother can't wait for you to come." β
"Okay, I'll definitely go next time." Tao You said, snapping his fingers.
As he spoke, there was a knock on the back door. The figure of the head teacher appeared quietly.
There was a sound of collecting things in the class, the sound of plastic bags rubbing was particularly obvious, and the sound of chatting disappeared in an instant, leaving only the sound of reading.
Song Yimian also quickly put the magazine back on the desk, put down the vertical language book, and leaned back to block Tao You's appearance of still drinking soy milk.
"What time is it, and you haven't finished breakfast yet? The pancakes you eat, they are so fragrant," the head teacher stood next to a boy and greeted him 'cordially', "Have you eaten enough?" Would you like to give you some more time? β
The boy wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, nodded, then shook his head, and quickly took out the language book and read it aloud.
"How long has it been since the morning self-study bell rang, and I haven't heard it?! Didn't you eat enough for breakfast, if you have weak energy, be louder! β
The head teacher continued to walk forward, and wherever he walked, the sound of reading aloud would automatically increase by a few decibels. w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m
With a serious face, she put her hands around her chest, slowly walked to the front door, opened the lock, and pushed it open, "How many times have I said it, don't close the front door!" Who locked it up?! She habitually twisted her eyebrows, and even the word 'Chuan' that appeared between her eyebrows was a little deeper than others.
The sound of reading fell silent, and the students all looked at each other, and no one came out to recognize them.
"Didn't anyone see it?"
The head teacher didn't really want to punish him, and turned around and walked to the podium table: "This is the first time, I won't pursue it, I'm reminding you again, except for evening self-study and school, the front and back doors must be open." Also, it's okay to have breakfast in the classroom, but you have to put it away when the bell rings. β
"The windows next to me are open, and when you walk in, you can see the smell of breakfast."
- Luckily, I've eaten them all.
Tao You stroked his chest happily.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Tao You never expected that the opportunity to go to Song Yimian's house for breakfast would come so soon.
After school, when Tao You returned home, the house was still empty.
- It's so late, why didn't you come home.
Tao You cut half of the watermelon, turned on the air conditioner, half lay on the sofa, and called Tao's father: "Hey, Dad, why don't you go home yet?" β
"Xiaoyou, we are still in the hospital, we have to go back later. (More exciting on the next page!) )
, you do your homework first, don't stay up late, go to bed early. Mother Tao's voice came, and her tone was full of exhaustion.
Tao You sat up and said in surprise: "You guys have been in the hospital all day?!" Who the hell is sick? Tao You always felt that something was wrong.
She intuitively felt that Tao's mother and Tao's father had something to hide from her, and the person who went to the hospital when she was sick must be very important. w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m
"Shujiang! Come over here! Daddy Tao's shout came from the other end of the phone.
"It's coming!" Tao's mother responded to the harmony, and said to Tao You, "Xiaoyou, I'll hang up first, and I'll give you back to the past after a while." β
Listening to the sound of the phone being hung up, Tao You let out a faint 'oh', not knowing who he was talking to.
ββββββββββββββββββββββ
It was close to midnight, Tao You was lying alone in bed, unable to sleep, his ears pricked up to listen to the movement outside.
The door opened, the light in the living room was turned on, and the footsteps of Tao's mother sounded, and the movements were deliberately lightened a lot, but in such a quiet environment in the middle of the night, Tao You still heard it instantly.
Tao You immediately turned over the quilt and got out of bed: "Mom, you're back, where is Dad?" β
"You haven't slept so late?" Tao's mother was startled by Tao You's sudden voice, she patted her chest, and pulled her soaked collar to relieve the heat, her face was full of tiredness.
Tao's mother poured a sip of water to quench her thirst, "Your father is still in the hospital, and I will go over to pack some clothes." Tomorrow for breakfast, I will tell Aunt Tingwan that I will go to their house to eat. Your dad and I are expected to be away from home a lot in the next few days, can you take care of yourself alone? Do you want to go to Xiao Song's house for a few days, or go to your aunt's house? β
Tao's mother kept talking, and while walking towards the room, she took out a small suitcase from the cubicle, quickly packed a few clothes, and went into the bathroom to pack up the toiletries.
Tao You took the fan and followed behind Tao's mother, following wherever she went, "Are you going to accompany you in the hospital?" β
"Yes." Tao's mother washed her face and closed her suitcase, "Why don't you go to your aunt's house for a few days?" I'll give her a call tomorrow. β
Tao You calculated the distance to and from school, and shook his head decisively: "It's too far." β
Mother Tao finally stopped and took a breath, "Then go to Xiao Song's house to live for a few days, it just so happens that you can ask in time if you don't know anything about studying, isn't it about to take the midterm exam." β
- Go to Song Yimian's house to live.
Tao You thought about this option.
If you really go to Song Yimian's house to live, you can stay with him 24 hours a day, eat together, go to and from school together, train together, and do homework together, which seems to be pretty good. A beautiful picture flashed in her mind.
But after thinking about it, doesn't this also mean that the embarrassing image of getting up every day, not brushing his teeth and exploding his head, and wearing the pink cartoon pajamas bought by Tao's mother will be seen by Song Yimian, and he still needs to be tense all the time, sitting must be sitting, standing must be standing, and he must always pay attention to eating. Although she hadn't seen anything embarrassed when she was a child, Song Yimian is now the person she likes, and in front of the person she likes, she still wants to keep this good image for a longer time.
Also, when a person is doing homework at home, he can still touch the fish for a while, if he writes his homework with Song YimianΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β· μ·
Tao You didn't even dare to think about that picture, it felt like she had found a private tutor to supervise her studies after school, or the kind that was word-by-word and non-negotiable. Thinking of this, Tao You remembered the painful scene of Song Yimian two days ago when he dragged him to memorize ancient poems and went home in the middle of the night.
After weighing the pros and cons, Tao You decisively gave up the opportunity to share a room with Song Yimian: "I won't go." β
"I'm a sophomore in high school, so I can take care of myself."
Mother Tao sneered distrustfully, "Can you get up by yourself in the morning?" Can you make your own breakfast? What about dinner? You can't eat takeout every day. And you're home alone, and we don't feel at ease, what if something happens. β
Tao You didn't listen to anything at this time, only yawned and waved: "How old am I, don't worry." I'll call you if there's something, and Aunt Tingwan and they are all there, don't worry. β
"Bye-bye, I'll go to sleep first, I'm too sleepy." She took the opportunity to sneak back into the room and begin the period. (More exciting on the next page!) )
For the rest of the short solitary life.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
It has been several days since Tao You's solitary life, and Tao's mother and Tao's father are either at work or in the hospital, occasionally coming back to get a change of clothes, and their feet are so busy that they don't touch the ground. Even the messages sent by Tao You, and the phone calls he made in the past sometimes go to naught.
Tao You's life during this period is comfortable, he sleeps when he is sleepy after doing his homework, and orders takeout when he is hungry, fried chicken, skewers, spicy hot, roadside stalls... μ·Β·Β·Β· But everything that Tao's mother usually forbids Tao You to eat, she tried to eat it as much as possible.
Learning, the head teacher also stood in front of the podium to assign homework: "There is not much homework on the weekend, these two papers are done, and I will come back on Monday to correct the answers, and I will check the wrong questions that you are asked to do on Monday." The midterm exam is coming soon, and the class time is tight, so I will continue to teach the new class, and other teachers should be like this. A week before the exam, I will take time to talk about the key content of the exam, and you will find time to review the rest of the content yourself. \./Hand\./Machine\./Edition\./First\./Hair\./More\./New~~"
Tao You recorded his homework on the notepad, and the pen was windy, and the words were about to fly out of the notebook. Listening to the ticking sound of her watch, she shook her legs anxiously.
"You're in a hurry?" Song Yimian felt his desk shake inexplicably, and there was a tendency to get more and more serious, he put down the magazine impatiently, and looked down to find the source.
Tao You quietly stuffed the books into his schoolbag one by one under the nose of the head teacher, "Huh? No, I don't. β
"Then what legs are you shaking?"
Tao You immediately put down the leg that was stepping on the foot of the table and continued to pack his schoolbag, "You go back first in a while, and I'll go with Hong Xiqi." β
Song Yimian guessed in her mind where she might go, and still asked, "Where to go?" I'll go along. β
Tao You glanced at him, paid attention to the head teacher's movements, and said softly: "Tsk, what do you big boys always do with girls." As she spoke, she poked Hong Xiqi and motioned for her to start sorting out her schoolbag first.
Song Yimian pointed to the dark sky outside: "It's too late, it's not safe." Your parents specifically told me that they wanted to go home together. β
"Just this time, you go back first, and I'll report your safety when I get home." Tao You saw that Song Yimian didn't let go, and began to worry, why didn't things develop in the direction he wanted, "I'll go with Hong Xiqi, it's okay." β
The bell rang just after class, and after the head teacher packed up his book and left, the classroom began to boil, and Tao You pulled Hong Xiqi and ran, for fear that if his movements were slow for a second, he would be caught up by Song Yimian.
"Where are you going so fast?"
