Rosette Section 53
Tao Ting straightened up: "Gone?" ”
She couldn't stand on her feet, and she was not allowed to be helped.
Xu Linyue and Xu Huaibin followed behind her, both worried, their hands raised in the air, ready to catch her at any time.
A few taxis stopped at the door, and Xu Huaibin said, "I'll take her home." ”
"I'll stop by, I'll come."
The two men were at a stalemate, and they both understood each other's thoughts, so neither of them intended to give in.
"Then you say, who will send it?" They threw this question to Tao Ting, who was yawning.
"I, I choose Xu ......" Tao Ting scratched her face and said vaguely, "I don't know." ”
"She said she chose Xu Linyue." Without giving the other party a chance to react, Xu Linyue had already grabbed Tao Ting and took the person to the taxi.
Chapter 40
Tao Ting scratched her head and asked suspiciously, "Did I say it?" ”
"Hmm." Xu Linyue opened the car door, blocked the roof with his hand, and stuffed Tao Ting inside.
After the two of them sat in the back row, Xu Linyue closed the car door and asked Tao Ting, "Where do you live?" ”
Tao Ting didn't seem to hear it at all, leaned on the window to blow the wind, and sighed comfortably.
Xu Linyue waited for two seconds and said, "Then go to my house." ”
"Yunhua Garden Phase II, Building 33, Building 20......" Tao Ting was covered by Xu Linyue before she could speak.
He said to the driver: "Yunhua Park Phase II." ”
Tao Ting broke free of his hand in exchange for a cold glance from Xu Linyue.
She was frightened and shrunk her chin to hide.
"Xu Huaibin also said that you have a good amount of alcohol." Xu Linyue sneered, "Can you just report your home address?" ”
Tao Ting stretched out a finger: "Actually, I seem to live in one phase." ”
Xu Linyue turned his head to the driver and said, "Master, let's go to the first phase." ”
Tao Ting suddenly laughed, pointed at Xu Linyue and said, "I've deceived you." ”
Xu Linyue looked at her dumbfounded, smiling dumbly, he grabbed Tao Ting's hand and asked, "Which issue?" ”
Tao Ting turned her head out of the car window: "I can't tell you casually." ”
"Handsome guy, where are you going?" The driver glanced in the rearview mirror.
"It's still the second phase." Xu Linyue added, "I'm sorry." ”
As soon as he turned around, he saw Tao Ting stretching his hand out of the car window, and hurriedly stopped: "Be careful." ”
Within three minutes of getting into the car, the two of them had so much movement that the driver had to glance in the rearview mirror for an average of three seconds, for fear that they would cause any more trouble.
Xu Linyue had no choice but to control Tao Ting's two hands, the woman's wrist was slender, and he could hold it completely with one hand, as if Tao Ting was in handcuffs.
After a while, she spoke up and said, "I'm not moving, you let go." ”
Xu Linyue didn't believe her.
"It hurts."
Xu Linyue immediately relaxed his strength and asked anxiously, "Does it hurt?" ”
Tao Ting smiled: "It doesn't hurt." ”
Xu Linyue was helpless and felt funny: "Really drunk and fake?" The wine is so bad today. ”
Tao Ting hung her head and didn't squeak anymore.
Thinking of the three people in the ward, Xu Linyue looked at the neon sign outside the window and said to himself: "You are still so lively, but you never do this in front of me." ”
"Xu Linyue."
Dare to call the name directly, Xu Linyue turned his head: "Huh? ”
Tao Ting leaned one leg on the seat, faced him sideways, leaned back against the left door, and said, "I always feel that you are far and near." ”
Xu Linyue didn't speak, he grabbed one of Tao Ting's index fingers and raised it, leaned his face over, and let her poke it on his cheek.
"Far away? It's not just a touch. ”
The taxi drove smoothly on the road, the light and shadow flowing, flickering and dimming, their eyes met, looking at each other in silence.
Tao Ting woke up first, withdrew her hand, adjusted her posture and sat up straight again.
Xu Linyue also sat back, his Adam's apple rolling, and he said: "That day was so sudden, I didn't know what to say all of a sudden, and I didn't think clearly about many things." ”
Tao Ting tightened her breathing, and her heart suddenly felt sour.
"You're wrong, I don't like you because you like me." Xu Linyue's voice was a little hoarse, and he trembled even before he noticed, "I have lived to this age, to be honest, in fact, no one will care about my emotions, let alone comfort me, everyone will only think, 'You are Xu Linyue, what is there for you not to be happy.'" ”
Tao Ting lifted her eyelashes and looked at him quietly through the street lamp and the moonlight.
"So with or without the latter words, things are already different when you say, 'I'm welcome,' or when you come up to me with your back to the light and smile at me, you're already going to my heart." Xu Linyue paused and said, "I don't know how to describe it, just that moment." ”
Tao Ting opened her lips and asked softly, "Is it the feeling of ten thousand years at a glance?" ”
Xu Linyue nodded: "Yes, a glance for ten thousand years." ”
Tao Ting lowered her eyes and hooked the corners of her mouth shallowly.
Xu Linyue said: "I actually know how to please a person, I didn't make you happy before, I went back and reflected on it, maybe what you need is not to please at all." ”
"Hmm."
"It's okay." He cheered himself up, "I'll think about it again and find a way." ”
After drinking too much wine, she was prone to thirst, so Tao Ting licked her dry lips and said, "I thought you had thought about it for so many days and figured it out." ”
"Want to understand what?"
"You don't really like me at all."
Xu Linyue smiled lightly: "I am thirty-two years old, I have seen all kinds of people, I know what I like and what I want, and I can also distinguish between impulses and good feelings, and I can distinguish between whim and like, and I have also been entangled for a long time to make actions, but compared with your so many years." ”
Tao Ting hugged her arms and tilted her head to the other side: "It's only three months, and then I forgot about you." ”
Xu Linyue just smiled: "Okay, then give me a little more time this time, and don't look at other men first." ”
Tao Ting whispered, "There are no other men." ”
Xu Linyue coughed and pretended to ask casually, "Have you talked to Xu Huaibin?" ”
"Nope." Tao Ting generously admitted, "Almost." ”
Xu Linyue raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean by almost?" ”
"It's kind of ambiguous, but then there was that little group, and everyone said they wanted to be best friends, and we all took a step back, and it was a few years ago."
Xu Linyue asked her, "Do you feel regretful?" ”
Tao Ting shook her head: "I don't know, no, if I didn't like it at the time, I wouldn't care about anything." ”
The driver stopped the car on the side of the road and said, "Yunhuayuan has arrived, go forward to the first phase, next to the second phase, you see where you go." ”
"That's it, I'll go back."
Xu Linyue was not at ease: "Do you live alone?" Or with Mom and Dad? Let them come down and pick you up. ”
"I'm not drunk." After saying so many words on the way, Tao Ting's wine woke up early, "I'll get off here, and you can go home early to rest." ”
Xu Linyue opened the car door and told her, "Send me a message when you get home." ”
"Got it."
"Good night."
Tao Ting nodded, clutching the strap of the shoulder bag and turning around.
When she got home, she picked up a glass and went to the water dispenser to get a glass of boiled water.
There are two WeChat messages in the mobile phone, both of which are sent by Xu Huaibin, one is: Are you home?
The other is: Does he like you?
Tao Ting only replied to the previous one: It's home, you rest early.
She clicked on Xu Linyue's chat box again and reported that she was safe.
The other party immediately replied: Okay, go to bed early, good night.
Tao Ting typed the word "good night", but she didn't press it for a long time.
She took a deep breath and finally said only one sentence: You go to bed early, too.
The hangover and drinking a lot of water before going to bed caused Tao Ting to be so swollen that her double eyelid folds were almost gone on the second day, she put on black-framed glasses again, and ordered a large glass of ice American style in the morning to reduce swelling.
Li Xie underwent surgery today, and at noon Tao Ting made a special phone call to express condolences on the situation.
"How's it going? Does it hurt? ”
"It doesn't hurt, it's still hanging water." Thinking of something, Li explained, "Oh yes, they changed me to the VIP ward after I had surgery." ”
Tao Ting drank coffee for a moment and asked, "Is it in line?" ”
"I asked yesterday and said that there is no single ward, and someone must have helped with the relationship."
"You mean, Leon?"
"Could it be that it could be you and Xu Huaibin?"
Tao Ting bit the straw.
"Remember to help me say thank you to him."
"yes, got it."
At the regular meeting on Wednesday, Tao Ting found that Xu Linyue was still using the mug with a broken mouth.
