Tao Yingnan smiled over there: "Why? ”

"I don't know, I used to look at him like a god, and the closer you get, the farther you go."

Tao Yingnan asked, "What about now?" ”

"Now?" Tao Ting held up her mobile phone, turned her head to look at the man sitting on the carpet in the living room, and said, "Now I look like a person." ”

Xu Linyue looked up and asked blankly, "Are you talking about me?" ”

Tao Ting held back a smile and shook her head, refusing to admit it.

"Fill in all the volunteers, right?" She asked Tao Yingnan.

"Fill it out." Speaking of this, Tao Yingnan's mood went down, "Mom still doesn't agree, let me think about it again." ”

"You have already thought about it, do whatever you want, and I, and your aunt and uncle will support you." Tao Ting glanced at the people in the living room and added, "And your brother-in-law." ”

The weather is changeable in summer, and the news says that the typhoon is about to pass through, and there will be heavy rainfall in the coming week, so the general public is requested to travel and be prepared.

Originally, there was a flash mob event outdoors this month, but the date had to be postponed due to bad weather.

Dark clouds weighed down the city, the sky was splashed with ink, there was a muffled boom, and the air was filled with the damp smell of earth.

Tao Ting waited in the parking lot for 15 minutes before she saw Xu Linyue come out of the elevator.

Every rainy day, the old wound on his hand would ache faintly, and Tao Ting drove him to and from work these days.

The air conditioner sends out cold air, blowing away the fog on the glass, and the wipers tick and tick, and it is no surprise that today's evening rush hour will be stuck in traffic again.

Tao Ting grabbed the steering wheel, her fingers tapped the beat, the congested road conditions made people impetuous, she punched the steering wheel, and sighed impatiently.

Xu Linyue raised his head from the screen of his phone and asked, "What's wrong?" Get up on the wrong side of the bed? ”

"It's okay, the growth period is almost here." Today should be the day when Tao Yingnan issued the admission notice, but she has not replied to the message sent by Tao Ting in the afternoon, and the phone cannot be reached.

Xu Linyue only thought that she was irritable because of the traffic jam, and deliberately teased her: "Let's ride a shared bicycle to work tomorrow, right?" ”

Tao Ting laughed: "Okay, ride." ”

When Tao Zejun's phone call came, she happened to turn at the intersection of the ten-word intersection, and Tao Ting said to Xu Linyue, "You pick it up." ”

Xu Linyue stretched out his hand and pressed the answer button on the screen, and Tao Zejun's voice sounded in the carriage through Bluetooth: "Hey, daughter." ”

"Dad." Tao Ting straightened her waist and asked, "Is there any news from Nan Nan?" ”

"Yes, your aunt just called to report the good news, Nan Nan was admitted to Nanjing Normal University and studied English as a teacher."

Tao Ting was stunned: "How can it be Southern Normal University?" ”

"Be careful." Xu Linyue reminded loudly.

She was stunned and didn't notice the pedestrians at the intersection in front of her, Tao Ting hurriedly stepped on the brakes, and her heart hit her chest hard.

"Are you driving?" Tao Zejun said, "Let's not talk about it yet, you concentrate on driving." ”

Waiting for the pedestrian to cross the road, Tao Ting restarted the car, Xu Linyue looked at her, a little worried: "What's wrong?" It's okay, right? ”

Tao Ting shook her head, and the more she thought about it, the more strange she felt: "I went to see the score line of Huazheng two days ago, how can it be that it is only Southern Normal University?" Huazheng can't do it, and there are two schools below. ”

Xu Linyue had no idea about China's university rankings and college entrance examination system, but he also heard that something was wrong, and he asked: "Is that a voluntary fill-in?" ”

"No way, I've been with her one by one." Tao Ting glanced at her mobile phone and said to Xu Linyue, "You help me dial Nan Nan, and I'll ask her." ”

Still didn't get through, the mechanical female voice read out for the third time, "The user you dialed is temporarily unreachable", Tao Ting sighed: "Forget it." ”

Xu Linyue put down her phone and comforted her: "Nanjing Normal University is also very good." ”

Tao Ting couldn't listen to anything now, she turned a corner at the intersection and said, "You go home first, and I'll go to my parents." ”

Xu Linyue couldn't rest assured: "I'll accompany you." ”

"It's fine." He also worked for a day, and Tao Ting didn't want Xu Linyue to follow her, "You go home first, don't wait for me." ”

Xu Linyue nodded: "Then if you have anything, just call me." ”

"Okay." Tao Ting glanced at the people around her and didn't speak, but her eyes were soft, and she was much more down-to-earth with him in her heart.

It was just after seven o'clock when the car drove downstairs, but it was already dark outside, with thunderstorms and heavy rain.

Tao Ting was too lazy to open an umbrella, ran into the corridor in the rain, the living room at home was lit up, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw her parents sitting on the sofa, both of them looking solemn.

Tao Ting sighed in her heart and asked, "Did you two quarrel?" ”

"Nope." Yang Fangting got up and took her bag, "Have you eaten?" ”

"Not yet."

Tao Zejun also asked her: "What about her boyfriend?" ”

"I told him to go home first." Tao Ting changed into slippers and entered the house, and took out a tissue to wipe her hair, "How can Nan Nan only go to Southern Normal University?" Are they mistaken? ”

Tao Zejun lowered his head, picked up the purple clay pot on the table, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her: "Make no mistake, it's Nanjing Normal University." ”

Yang Fangting went to the kitchen to have a hot meal and said to Tao Ting, "Let's see if you are free for the weekend at the beginning of next month?" Your aunt said that she was going to hold a college banquet for Nan Nan, so you should go too. ”

"Hmm." Tao Zejun continued to tinker with his tea sets, "Didn't Nan Nan say that she wanted to go out and play?" Zeming gave her a thousand and said that he would leave in two days. ”

"No wonder I haven't heard back." Tao Ting took a sip of tea, but her hanging heart still couldn't fall, "They are quite happy." ”

Tao Zejun said: "Can my daughter be unhappy if she was admitted to a good school? ”

"But she could have gone better." Tao Ting put down the teacup, took out her mobile phone from her bag and said, "I still feel that something is wrong." ”

"Tao Ting." Tao Ze lowered his face.

I hadn't seen him speak to himself in this tone for many years, and Tao Ting froze in place, not knowing what she had done wrong.

"Not everyone can be the same as you, don't worry about it, Southern Normal University is also very good." Tao Zejun said.

This is the second time she has heard this sentence tonight, all the doubts and worries have accumulated at this moment and turned into nameless anger, Tao Ting clenched her fingers and roared: "What is it good to call it?" So what's the point of me spending so much effort to help her fill out the volunteer these days? So what's the point of her getting up at six o'clock every day and going to bed for that one or two points for the past three years? ”

"What's wrong?" Yang Fangting heard the movement and ran out of the kitchen in a panic, looking at her frowning daughter and her silent husband on the sofa.

"You know what, don't you?" Tao Ting took half a step back, and asked patiently with anger, "Whose idea?" Shen Chun or Tao Zeming ? ”

"Tao Ting!" Tao Zejun slapped on the coffee table, pointed at her and said, "You don't have big or small." ”

Yang Fangting hugged Tao Ting's arm and pushed her back into the room: "You go in first, this shouldn't be your business." ”

"Why shouldn't I care?" Tao Ting looked at her indifferent parents and only felt strange, she almost collapsed her faith, and shouted desperately, "Does Tao Yingnan know? Who the hell did it?! ”

It was just the couple left and right, Tao Ting broke free of Yang Fangting's hand, the mobile phone smashed on the tile and snapped, and she was about to go out the door: "I'll go find them to settle accounts." ”

"Tao Ting!" Tao Zejun walked over and grabbed her, and said in an accentuated tone, "You can't control it." ”

"I can handle it!" Tao Ting's chest rose and fell, and she retorted stubbornly with her eyes staring.

The ringtone of the mobile phone pierced the tense atmosphere in the room, Yang Fangting picked it up and handed it to her, and whispered, "Xiao Xu called." ”

Tao Ting wiped her face and took a deep breath before putting it to her ear: "Hey." ”

Xu Linyue asked, "Are you home?" It's okay, right? ”

Tao Ting lifted her eyelids and looked at her parents in front of her, suddenly lost her mind, her throat tightened, she opened her lips with difficulty and said, "It's okay." ”

"Where's my sister? Volunteering, right? ”

Tao Ting whispered, "No." ”

Every home has an unspeakable ugliness, and the moment she took off her mobile phone, she lost all her arrogance, and suddenly understood her parents, why they stood by and watched, and understood that they also had their own helplessness.

She had only one question: "Does Tao Yingnan know?" ”

"We didn't ask, your uncle and aunt also feel sorry for her, and we will try to meet her any requests in the future."

Tao Ting sneered: "Then thank them." ”

The rainy days lasted for a week, and the gray sky was covered with a thick layer of fog after looking at it for a long time.

Xu Linyue clearly felt that Tao Ting was depressed in the past few days, and she couldn't be interested in doing anything, so she went to bed early every night.

"Isn't it uncomfortable?" He put down his phone and took the person next to him into his arms, "Stomach hurt? ”

"Sort of." Tao Ting pillowed on his arm with her eyes closed.

Xu Linyue gently rubbed her lower abdomen with the palm of his hand, kissed her forehead and said, "Go to bed early." ”

Tao Ting turned her back to him, sniffed, and buried her face in the quilt.

At three o'clock in the morning, a white line flashed through the sky, followed by a thunderous explosion.

Tao Ting opened her eyes in a daze, the nerves of the Taiyang acupoint were beating, she held her swollen and aching head, and touched the mobile phone next to the pillow to see the time.

"Hey." When she saw the call prompt, Tao Ting immediately pressed the connection.

"Sister." Tao Yingnan shouted over there, her voice trembling.

Xu Linyue turned over and said in a dumb voice: "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm here." Tao Ting sat up and touched Xu Linyue's arm in a panic, which made her feel a little more steady.

Tao Yingnan sobbed and asked, "Can you come and pick me up?" ”

Xu Linyue realized that something was wrong, turned on the night light at the head of the bed, squinted his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Tao Ting lifted the quilt and turned over to get out of bed, unbuttoned her pajamas and said, "I'll go to Jiangbei, you can sleep first." ”

"Huh?" Xu Linyue suspected that he was dreaming and hadn't woken up yet, "Now?" How do you get there? ”

"Drive." Tao Ting changed her clothes neatly.

Xu Linyue rubbed his face and sat up, his sleepiness still dissipated, and he instinctively said, "I'll go with you." ”

Chapter 63

Tao Ting didn't want to bother him, so he tossed with him: "I have to go to work tomorrow." ”

Xu Linyue opened the wardrobe and took out a T-shirt: "I can't rest assured that you will go alone." ”

After washing, he felt much more sober, Tao Ting took two bottles of mineral water from the refrigerator and handed one to Xu Linyue.

Xu Linyue asked, "My sister called?" ”
