Volume 1 Chapter 17
"Turn your head away, don't peek!"
Xie Chutao picked out his clothes, turned his head and glared at Xiao Chenan, but saw that he was bored flipping through the wrong question book.
"Didn't I say, you've been picking for half an hour, do you have any clothes that fit?"
"Fit? Will the fit work? I don't understand aesthetics! ”
It was another scolding that split his head and covered his face, Xiao Chenan was already very accustomed to Xiao Tao's "although it is always cloudy and uncertain", but he couldn't accept the four big words "I don't understand aesthetics", which was almost a crazy test of his bottom line.
"I don't understand aesthetics? Come on, come and put on a few sets you choose, I'll pick them for you, and see who doesn't understand aesthetics? ”
Xiao Tao looked at him seriously, so he didn't say anything.
After trying a few sets, Xiao Chenan also really picked out a set of NO.1 in her mind, but I didn't expect the aesthetic similarity of the two - this is a set of Korean-style clothes, white and gray color scheme, fake two sweatshirts with wide-legged loose slacks, and a pair of small white shoes, a whole Korean drama campus heroine, and the waist line ratio of three or seven points is very long legs, even Xie Chutao, who is 165, can easily control it.
After Xiao Chenan read the dress guide seriously, he also deliberately strengthened the words "165" and "easy to control".
"Who said I'm 165? I'm 170, 170! ”
"Okay, 170, anyway, you can go out now."
"Well, the vision is not bad, give a 70 points for shallowness."
"Thank you for the gift of the eldest lady, if you wear a 70-point dress on a 120-point body, you can achieve a high score of 95."
The two of them talked to each other without saying a word, Xie Chutao listened to the straight man in science and engineering calculating the scores, and unconsciously laughed aloud, which couldn't help but remind her of an unscrupulous novel "Who Says Science and Engineering Don't Understand Romance".
Finally, at three o'clock in the afternoon, they walked out of the door of the black cat water bar - don't ask why it is done from morning to afternoon, women, makeup is also a "practice", and it is still a compulsory practice, everyone understands it.
Interjecting here, Qingqing watched the two of them go out, and reminded him to "come back early".
Having said that, Xie Chutao is really beautiful today, how to describe it, even the hard-hearted Xiao Chen'an saw it, and he admired it from the bottom of his heart, Xiao Tao originally belonged to the naturally beautiful Cinderella type, took off her school uniform and changed into casual clothes, which was upgraded several grades at once, plus a little bit of pseudo-makeup rendering, it was definitely Ju Jingyi from the perspective of passers-by.
No, the return rate is directly full along the way, whether it is walking alone or accompanied by a girlfriend, you can't help but look back for two more seconds, Xiao Chenan experienced this treatment for the first time, and he was a little uncomfortable, he felt that he was pasted with a grimace behind his back, which became the focus of public ridicule.
"Hey, do you see what's behind me?"
"Ah, what?"
Xiao Tao noticed that Xiao Chenan looked flustered, as if social phobia was about to attack.
It's no wonder, after all, it turned out that she was in this situation when she went to the street alone, whether she was the same or not, she was used to it for a long time, but now there is more of the opposite sex around her, some people will bless the talented woman, and some people will spray this person is not worthy or something.
"It's okay, just go normally, don't tell me you're really scared!"
"Ahh
Two words, yes, just two onomatopoeia, it's not that he doesn't want to say more, but under the baptism of thousands of eyes, he feels that he is about to ascend to heaven, and his head is like a Cupid's halo, conspicuous, dazzling, dazzling, piercing, incompatible with the outside world, a thorn in the eyes of the world, a thorn in the flesh.
"Don't be sentimental, it's not you who they want to see, you're just a glass vitrine around the model, and you have to look through the glass if you want to see the model."
Good guy, this basin of cold water poured on Xiao Chen'an was just right, he immediately understood and had an epiphany, he was just a dispensable little decoration around the big beauty, the spotlight hitting him was just a mistake by the gaffer, and even passers-by who took a photo of Xiao Tao wanted to deduct himself from the P picture.
"Hey, you're very sharp."
Xiao Chenan protested quietly.
"Yes, not only sharp, but also objective."
Letting down their guard, the two of them chatted again, talking and laughing, really like a shy couple who didn't dare to hold hands, which couldn't help but cause a commotion among passers-by.
While chatting, the two of them walked to a tavern and said "this is it" in unison, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked in together.
Seeing the two sitting facing each other, the waiter also understood very much, with her many years of work experience, the man and woman sitting like this must have just come out of the quarrel, so she said meaningfully:
"Two, please choose slowly."
After speaking, he left a standard and slightly charming smile.
After the waiter left in a timely manner, Xiao Chenan opened his mouth first:
"Eh, you like Japanese food, too!"
Xie Chutao didn't rush to order, took a sip of the free tea on the table, and was obviously very happy with the tacit understanding just now:
"yes, I didn't expect you to like it too."
"In Asia, compared to the sour Korean food and the unique Thai food, Japanese food is still more in line with our taste, such as sushi, takoyaki, sukiyaki pot or something, it's really amazing!"
Xiao Chenan explained seriously, and his words were very cautious, for fear that a little mistake would poke a nerve in the eldest lady and cause a severe beating.
Unexpectedly, Xie Chutao frowned, and came to this sentence:
"Can you ......?"
"If you have something to say, don't do it outside."
Without waiting for her to finish, Xiao Chenan hurriedly reminded him "out of kindness", he was really afraid, he was afraid that he would not have a chance to stop the slap that would come at any time after she finished speaking.
"Isn't it that scary?"
This time it can be regarded as amusing Xie Chutao, she has always agreed that she is the ceiling of pure desire, with a little sweet girl attributes, and the family spoils her like a little princess, and the evaluation of the outside world is also the same, how can she be completely distorted when she comes to Xiao Chenan?
As soon as Xiao Chenan heard the secret way, it was not good, isn't this a proposition, he was ready to slap and buy one get one free, he quickly waved his hand and replied very "sincerely":
"You, uh no, not terrible, not terrible."
"Really?"
Xie Chutao deliberately put his face towards Xiao Chenan, the table in the Japanese restaurant was not big, so when he squeezed it like this, the faces of the two people were almost pasted together.
Poor Xiao Chenan thought that she was going to fight when she came up, so she hurriedly dodged back, but she didn't expect that there was a decorative wooden pillar behind her, and the "bang" sound was very crisp.
Xie Chutao covered her mouth and smiled "haha", if there were no other guests in the restaurant, it is estimated that she would be so debauched that she didn't even bother to cover her mouth.
"You're really interesting."
"You're embarrassed to say, if you hadn't ...... every time"
"Huh?"
With the word "um" in an upward tone, Xiao Chenan heard the smell of gunpowder, and quickly changed the conversation:
"Uh, I said you dress up pretty every time......"
"It's okay, you say, I won't hit you this time, I promise!"
Xie Chutao looked at the man in front of him who was cramped and uneasy and didn't dare to tell the truth, and laughed so much that tears were about to flow out.
Xiao Chenan still doesn't believe her, a woman's mouth is a deceitful ghost!
"You swear!"
"Good, good, I swear!"
Seeing that Xiao Tao had done this, Xiao Chenan slowly said what was in his heart, but while speaking, he still noticed any subtle changes in her expression.
"Do you remember the first time you came to look for me in the dormitory, it was raining heavily outside, I didn't notice your feelings for a while, I said something very excessive, and then you ran away, and I didn't know you at that time
You, so, since that day, I've been asking about you, including grades, classes, just to find you and apologize to you. ”
"After that, I was abducted by your sister to the water, and I miraculously saw you there, and I was too surprised at the time, so I didn't say anything, and then later, you came to me several times, and you hurriedly finished talking about you and left, I was stupid, I couldn't answer, and it was the perfect ending not to make you angry, and this matter has been put on hold."
"So, it just so happened that you asked me out for dinner today, so I thought I would take this opportunity to apologize."
Xie Chutao listened very carefully - although the two of them had indeed only known each other for a week, but for her, she had been helping her sister secretly investigate Xiao Chenan for two years, from the seven candidates of the original "White Tiger" descendant, to the end only one was left, and the others were either of bad character or incompetent, only he met all their requirements and became the destined Xiao Chenan.
In the past two years, she has known Xiao Chenan well, and every day of the past two years has been recorded and filed in detail.
Therefore, which dress she will choose and which restaurant she will enter is not a coincidence, but an inevitable choice made by Xiao Tao after knowing the bottom line for a long time - similarly, the solid wood decoration used in the living room of the apartment and the performance-grade grand piano on the side are undoubtedly not the trade-offs and concessions she made after learning Xiao Chenan's preferences.
In the past, in order to fulfill her sister's wish, she wanted him to stay in this collective; Now she wants him to feel the warmth of home in the 'Black Cat Water Bar', and wants him to stay by her side forever.
However, what she knows is limited to these, she doesn't know Xiao Chenan's character, she doesn't know Xiao Chenan's dreams, and she doesn't know Xiao Chenan's true thoughts, she can't see through it, she doesn't have her sister's ability to read minds, in the social field, she will always be the princess who is held in the center of the stage, but she has never understood the thoughts of the audience.
When she thought of this, she realized how helpless she was, what the eldest daughter of the Xie family's genius, what bullshit Empress of the Five Palaces, all fake, name? Gimmick! None of them worked! She is not frustrated yet, she is not a child in front of her feelings, she can't wear a pair of pants, and she only knows how to cry when she loses!
She cried, she complained about her incompetence, regretted her arrogance, and reflected on her ignorance - yes, she knew everything about Xiao Chen'an, but a few days ago in Xiao Chen'an's eyes, she was just a strange classmate who handed over a challenge book, why did she ask him to be satisfied with everything he did, and why did she compare her own efforts with him unreasonably?
Xiao Chenan handed her a tissue, he made a woman cry for the first time, and he was a little overwhelmed, but in fact, he didn't know why Xiao Tao was crying, the power of this "apology" was so great.
Xie Chutao took the tissue, gently wiped her tears, suddenly got up and sat next to Xiao Chenan, and didn't give him a chance to react, and directly leaned her head on Xiao Chenan's shoulder.
Coincidentally, the height of the two is such a match, Xiao Tao can lean comfortably without effort, and Xiao Chenan will not feel a strong sense of falling.
"Are you alright?"
Xiao Chenan asked with concern, he thought that Xie Chutao was here to slap him twice, and he was ready to be beaten, but he didn't expect her to make such a move, which surprised Xiao Chenan.
She didn't respond, burying her head deeper.
Xiao Chenan looked at the crying pear blossom with rain girl in front of him, she was so close to him, the fragrance of cherry blossoms on the tips of her hair diffused around her, every sobbing of her seemed to hit Xiao Chen'an's heart, Xiao Chenan couldn't help but gently wipe away her floating tears with his hands, the moment the skin of the two touched, as if a powerful electric current penetrated the body, shaking him numb, he secretly promised in his heart that he wanted to really protect her like a senior and a big brother, and he must not let her suffer a little more grievances, even a little, and never tolerate it.
