"Did you hear that?" Song Yimian cleaned up, saw Tao You's distraction, chopsticks picked a few fried noodles and didn't put them in his mouth, dried his hands carefully, bent his fingers and knocked on the table, holding back a smile and reminding.

Tao You came back to his senses, and the variety show on his mobile phone didn't know when it had been automatically played, except for Song Yimian's talking, there was only the gurgling sound of boiling water in the kitchen

"yes, I hear you." She hung her head and blinked, picking a chopstick noodle and stuffing it into her mouth.

The noodles should be made by hand, they are very strong, and they taste quite good with fresh side dishes.

While the water was boiling, the 'ding dong' sound in Song Yimian's mobile phone never stopped, and finally he directly muted the mobile phone, but kept using the mobile phone to send messages without speaking, sometimes frowning, as if he was very busy.

"Is there anything else going on with you in a moment?" It was too quiet, Tao You was a little uncomfortable eating, drank the soup down, looked up at Song Yimian who was leaning on the table, and said, "What are you doing while sitting, standing."

The water in the kitchen was boiling, making a sharp sound of gas, Song Yimian put down his mobile phone, walked to the kitchen with the kettle, and replied, "It's okay, go to Tong Lin's place for a meeting."

When I went to Tong Lin, it should be to discuss the competition.

Tao You straightened his back and didn't dare to delay, "Then you go quickly, don't delay the time, I'll finish eating soon." As if trying to verify what she said, she tried to stuff the noodles and vegetables that had only a few bites left into her mouth and chewed quickly.

Song Yimian came out after pouring the water, stared at her quietly and directly for a long time, staring at Tao You's back numbly, and then said slowly, "Don't worry, there is time."

"Eat slowly."

"Why don't you eat some fruit?" Tao You pushed the orange that had just been poured into the fruit bowl in front of Song Yimian, "It's a waste of time to sit and sit."

Tao You has always felt that everyone's time is precious, especially a busy person like Song Yimian, spending time on eating with her is a bit worthless.

She thought of Daddy Tao's "earnest teachings" to her in the past few days, and she couldn't help it.

Song Yimian flipped out the page of his mobile phone and turned his hand to Tao Youdao, "I'm previewing the content of the next semester, so I didn't waste any time. You can eat yours in peace."

"And," Song Yimian paused for a few seconds, his head lowering as if he was thinking about how to speak to Tao You, "Didn't you say before that you didn't like to eat alone." As he spoke, his eyes quickly circled around Tao You's face and looked back at his phone.

- I don't like to eat alone?

"Huh?" Tao You was a little confused.

- I still said such a hypocritical thing?!

She sneered awkwardly, pretending to be busy wiping her mouth and hands again, "You remember the wrong person. I...... I don't think I said that."

Song Yimian's flush that slowly welled up on his cheeks flowed back in an instant.

He raised his eyes and glared at Tao You, as if threatening her: Think about it again, have you ever said this.

Tao You was suppressed by Song Yimian's eyes, and tried hard to recall.

With her unremitting efforts, a thread of related memories finally popped up in her mind.

Tao You can't remember exactly why he said this, but it is most likely to find a reason to talk nonsense.

She thought that she had said it casually, and as soon as others heard it, the matter would pass like this, but she didn't expect Song Yimian to remember it for so long.

No wonder every time Hong Xiqi didn't eat at school with her, Song Yimian and her always finished eating with their front and back feet, and packed up their plates and left.

- That's probably the reason.

Tao humorously guessed.

"Remember?" Song Yimian saw Tao You's suddenly realized look, and said with some complaints.

"Uh-huh." Tao You nodded, "I just said it casually, it's no problem for me to eat alone." What's more, there is electronic mustard to accompany me.

Song Yimian's face visibly darkened a little with the naked eye.

Tao You's indirect vision told her

It's better to be quiet now, and it's wrong to say more, although she doesn't know why Song Yimian is like this.

After two minutes of silence, the only thing left in the restaurant was the crisp tapping of chopsticks and bowls.

Song Yimian suddenly pulled out the chair and got up, and said with some anger, "Let's go."

Tao You was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Oh, goodbye."

Seeing that he didn't move, Tao You urged again, "You hurry up, I'll be late for the meeting in a while."

Song Yimian turned his head, stopped talking, pursed his lips tightly, as if holding a big breath in his chest, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, then sneered and walked quickly to the door.

"Bye-bye, stay safe on the road." Tao You took a bite of noodles and kindly reminded.

- I asked you to go back just now, it's too late.

"You eat slowly, I'll be back in a moment." Song Yimian pushed open the door and said another word before leaving.

"No need to ......" Tao You shook his hand, and before he could finish his refusal, he was intercepted by a "bang" sound of the door closing.

Tao You retracted his hand and stroked his heart, which was beating a few seconds faster, and then ate a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs to suppress his shock.

Waited quietly for a few seconds, and waited for the sound of the elevator door closing outside, then she turned on her phone, turned on the loudest sound, and continued to watch the electronic mustard.

Within two minutes, Tao You's unique hearty laughter came from inside the room.

- This variety show doesn't seem to be as ugly as I just thought.

——————————————————————————————————

Tao You finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned up the thermos box, took a pot of fruit, and lay down on the sofa directly with his clothes, ready to continue watching the unfinished variety show.

I don't know if it's because the New Year hasn't finished yet, and there is less sound of those children playing downstairs, it's very quiet, Tao You didn't look at it for a while and began to doze off.

In the afternoon, the sun is very good, and it is warm on the face, but it will still be hot and sweaty after a long time. Tao You's face was facing the balcony, and it didn't take long for him to wake up by the dazzling sunlight.

Her teeth were a little weak, and her mouth didn't taste anything, so she raised her hand to cover her eyes in a daze, and in this position, she touched a strawberry from the fruit bowl on the coffee table and put it in her mouth and took a bite.

In the next second, she was completely awake, the sourness filled her entire mouth, and even the corners of her eyes were so sour that she squeezed out two tears, and her whole body shook uncontrollably.

She gritted her teeth and curled up on the couch with a wrinkled face, waiting for the sourness to pass.

"Bang, bang." There was a rhythmic knock on the door.

"It's coming!" Tao You swallowed the strawberry in his mouth, smashed it a few times to remove the taste, and then got up and ran to open the door.

She reserved a little caution, only opened the slit, tilted her head to show a pair of eyes, and looked out the door.

"Why are you here?" She looked out of the door with some surprise, Song Yimian who was carrying a schoolbag and Song Xiaoan who was yawning with a lollipop in his mouth. Only then do you open the door completely and take a side step to let them in.

Song Yimian's face was not good, and he asked while changing his shoes, "You usually open the door like this?"

Tao You didn't react, "That's right."

- How else can you open the door? Open with your feet?

「······」

"Next time you open the door, take a look at who's outside the door." Song Yimian pointed to the cat's eye on the reddish-brown door and reminded, "If it's a stranger, don't open the door, don't hesitate, call the police immediately." There is no such thing as absolute security."

- I said this.

"Oh, got it." Tao You looked at his face and nodded along with his words.

"Xiao An, wait a minute." Tao You grabbed Song Xiao'an, who was walking into the house, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't Song Yimian go to a meeting?" How did you come back again? It also looks ...... Did someone mess with him?"

Song Xiaoan took a sip of the lollipop, tilted her head to Song Yimian's face, which seemed to have a normal expression, glanced twice, and thought carefully for two seconds and asked, "Is there one?"

"Yes." Tao You nodded affirmatively.

Song Xiaoan blinked vigorously and squinted again

Eye-catching, he carefully glanced around Song Yimian's face that had been seen for more than ten years, but he still couldn't see the kind of expression Tao You said, so he guessed, "Maybe, I can't think about it myself? He came back and went out again, but came back in two minutes, got me out of bed, gave me two minutes to change, and then we were here."

「......」

Tao You was immune to her answer that she didn't seem to answer, and guessed that Song Xiaoan probably didn't know Song Yimian's plan for the afternoon.

"There's hot milk, do you drink it?" Tao You helped Song Xiaoan pull out the chair and asked.

Song Xiaoan rubbed his cold fingertips and nodded, "Sister Xiaoyou, can I squint on the sofa, I didn't sleep until four o'clock this morning." She quietly stretched out four fingers, not daring to let Song Yimian know that she had stayed up all night playing games again...

"I finally lasted a morning, and I only slept for five minutes, and my brother woke me up." Song Xiaoan skillfully sold miserably.

Seeing this, Tao You directly pointed to his room, "You go to sleep in my bed, I'll call you later."

Song Xiaoan gratefully folded his hands in front of his head, "Thanksgiving!"

Just stood up, and was stopped by Song Yimian, "Why are you going?"

「...... I'm going to sleep for a while." Song Xiaoan peeked at Tao You with his afterglow and asked her for help.

Song Yimian pointed to the clock on the wall, "What time is it, still sleeping?" Don't take a lunch break of more than half an hour, you've been sleeping at home for more than an hour, and it's time to do your homework. If you are sleepy, go to the kitchen and wash your face with cold water."

"You haven't finished a single plan today."

- More than an hour?! Didn't you say five minutes?!

- This concept of time is not a little bit worse!

Tao You couldn't open his mouth even if he wanted to, so he widened his eyes and asked with his eyes.

Song Xiao soothed the silly hair on the top of his head and laughed twice.

I stayed up too long, and I fell into a deep sleep at noon, and I felt like I had only slept for five minutes......

Song Yimian took out a thin book with a few large characters written on it from his schoolbag, "Today's plan, I don't care about it in the morning, I will start doing it in the afternoon, and I will make up for it later if I don't finish it."

Song Xiaoan drooped his head, his mouth was so pouting that he could hang a pot of oil, and he pulled the book listlessly and opened it with all his strength.

Song Yimian looked at the footer that she turned over and folded, her eyebrows jumped, and she didn't care about her anymore.

"Stingy!" Song Xiaoan turned to today's page, pulled out the cover of the pen vigorously, and muttered.

Song Yimian seemed to be used to hearing her useless complaints, so she pretended not to hear it, and put the blank scroll in front of her with a faint emotion, and understood this sister's schedule thoroughly, "It's not you who stay up late to make up for sleep, you have to go to bed early at night, now is not the time to go to bed." You're full of sleep now, you can't sleep at night and stay up late, a vicious circle!"
