Chapter 90 Chapter 90 Who flirted with whom?
After the performance, Zhou Yu pushed Zhou Jinghan backstage to congratulate Tao Siyun.
Tao Siyun bent down and hugged Teacher Zhou, just like he used to hug his aunt after every competition when he was a child.
Her little coquettish gesture made Zhou Jinghan feel a long-lost intimacy.
When Qin Ru first brought Tao Siyun to him, she had just finished her high school entrance exam and was a very shy girl.
The first impression he gives is that he is quiet and shy.
Teacher Zhou doesn't talk much, and he speaks even less since he lost his legs. Apart from the few hours of teaching Tao Siyun two days a week, he hardly ever speaks and has no chance to communicate with other people.
It was just her duty to accept this little girl who had been rejected by Qin Ru repeatedly but whom she unexpectedly accepted because she passed her strict assessment. That was all.
At the beginning, their relationship was the same as that of most students and teachers, and he did not relax his attitude towards her just because he knew her aunt.
Tao Siyun has a strong ability to comprehend. If this can be called a "talent", then every time before class, when Teacher Zhou checks her homework, Tao Siyun never misses a note. This is the result of her diligent practice at home.
She had a solid foundation and was diligent and hardworking, which made Professor Zhou very satisfied. Therefore, he was very optimistic about the girl in front of him and his requirements for her were even stricter than those for his previous students.
However, Professor Zhou, who appeared cold but was warm-hearted and spoke little, also made Tao Siyun, who was not familiar with her at first, a little scared.
The little girl was very reserved when facing her alone. She was very focused during study, but rarely took the initiative to get close to her after class.
The relatives who take care of her don't come over on weekends, but they will buy food in advance and put it in the refrigerator.
One evening after class, Teacher Zhou opened the refrigerator to look for ingredients. As she was thinking about what to eat, she suddenly remembered the jar of honey that Tao Siyun had given her before she left...
In a sealed glass jar are fresh lemon slices and passion fruit pickled in honey.
Filled to the brim.
There are also cartoon stickers on it. The little girl used colored markers to draw a lemon and a passion fruit, connected by a plus sign in the middle, and the VC content of a glass of water is after the equal sign.
Thoughtful and cute.
Zhou Jinghan was instantly touched by the little girl's attentiveness and felt soft in his heart.
There is a bottle of vitamins on her desk, which she always forgets to take. She usually only notices it when she is teaching Tao Siyun.
The last time Tao Siyun was practicing the piano alone, Zhou Jinghan took a glass of water as usual. After opening the bottle, she found that the vitamins that were due to expire in two months had been eaten up by her without her knowing it.
Professor Zhou had the same mentality as most people, thinking that at least it was not wasted.
However, this seems to have become a habit of hers. Every time Tao Siyun starts practicing the piano by herself, Teacher Zhou will go to get a glass of water and then subconsciously reach for the corner of the table.
It was only when she realized she had finished her vitamins for the second time that she threw the empty bottle in the trash.
This scene happened to be discovered by Tao Siyun again, and her observation skills were immediately in place.
Teacher Zhou always forgets to take his vitamin tablets, but likes to drink water.
Tao Siyun is a little girl. She usually doesn't show off, but in fact, she is more thoughtful than anyone else.
Professor Zhou hummed a song while making himself a cup of sour and sweet lemon passion fruit honey water. After drinking it, he went to make dinner.
…
Zhou Jinghan patted her on the back and said gently, "It's really, really great."
This sentence is not only an affirmation to her as a teacher, but also a comfort and encouragement to her as an elder.
“The performance went well.”
Seeing her hesitation, Zhou Yu was visibly embarrassed for a moment, then smiled and said, "One of these two bouquets of lilies is from my aunt, and the other is to congratulate you on behalf of Zhao Yiran. Before she left on her business trip, she specifically asked me to order one for her when I ordered flowers. I'm just responsible for delivering it."
Tao Siyun felt a little embarrassed, but he took the flowers from Zhou Yu generously and said "thank you".
"Let's take a photo together?" Zhou Yu took out his mobile phone, turned on the front camera, and half-knelt down.
Tao Siyun was hugged by Teacher Zhou with his face close to hers.
"Okay, I won't waste your time. We'll celebrate together another day." Zhou Jinghan patted her hand, "We'll go back first."
"Thank you, Teacher Zhou. Goodbye, Teacher Zhou."
…
The open trunk was filled with flowers. Tao Qian leaned against the car door, looking expressionlessly at the two people holding hands not far away.
Tao Siyun wore a white T-shirt on the upper body, Chrome Hearts denim shorts on the lower body, and Xu Ji's shirt tied around his waist.
I don't know what she is whispering to her boyfriend, and she can't even walk properly.
"Can you guys go any slower?"
"Where's my sister?"
"I went to buy milk tea for someone."
Tao Qian took the bouquet of sunflowers worth 520 yuan from the trunk and stuffed it into Tao Siyun's arms. He glanced at Xu Ji, who was standing next to him with two bouquets of lilies, with an extremely unnatural expression. Then he opened his phone and started taking pictures of her. "Stand still and don't move. Try to finish the photo in ten minutes. Mom and Dad are waiting to post it on WeChat Moments."
“…”
Tao Qian's straight-man photography skills made it difficult for Tao Siyun to pick out a satisfactory one from dozens of photos.
Either it's overexposed or out of focus.
Tao Siyun refused to let him take pictures of her again no matter what and insisted on waiting for Qiao Ying to come back.
Tao Qian was completely despised.
"Okay, okay, okay, okay, your boyfriend and I both have low skills, okay? Just ask her to take a picture of you. I'll see if she can take a picture of a flower for you later."
As it turns out, it really works.
Sure enough, only girls in the world understand girls.
Tao Qian used close-ups, near shots and long shots, and after a lot of messing around, he was still not as good as Qiao Ying's casual shot.
It took less than five minutes to do.
The two men said they had suffered an unprecedented blow.
***
"An An, does your boyfriend always flirt with your brother?"
"ah?"
Tao Siyun was diligently helping Xu Ji prepare the condiments in the seasoning area. When he heard Qiao Ying's words, his hands trembled and he subconsciously looked towards their table.
Tao Qian actually sat with Xu Ji for the first time, and no one knew when they secretly reconciled behind her back.
It seems quite intimate.
Tao Siyun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more relieved. "That shouldn't be the case. They used to have a good relationship. Last time, my brother took someone else's suitcase by mistake, and I borrowed all my clothes from him for the past few days."
Before Tao Qian discovered her and Xu Ji's affair, the two of them were as close as a pair.
and……
Whether it is underwear or outer pants, you can wear the same pair.
Thinking of this, Tao Siyun couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, followed Qiao Ying's gaze and looked over again, asking with some concern: "How did he... flirt with my brother?"
"Your boyfriend and I ordered flowers from the same flower shop. The sunflowers cost 519, and he asked your brother to send him 520."
“…”
"They do look quite similar." Qiao Ying pinched her stunned face, looked at her carefully for a few seconds, and consoled herself by saying, "Maybe I'm overthinking it."
Tao Siyun followed Qiao Ying's line of thought and naturally came up with an extremely absurd idea...
I was speechless immediately.
I wondered what was wrong with Xu Ji. She couldn't possibly treat her brother as her substitute, right?
What are you flirting with all day long?
She lowered her eyes awkwardly and said in a low voice without any confidence, "It could also be rounding..."
The seafood buffet that Tao Qian ordered had very fresh ingredients. At this time, there were not many people. Tao Siyun returned to his seat with a bowl full of coriander and pushed the bowl in front of Xu Ji.
"Brother, go get the seasoning and some fruit."
"Why don't you take it?"
"It's too cold over there. I feel cold."
Tao Qian glanced at the black shirt tied around her waist and said sourly: "If you feel cold, just wear your boyfriend's clothes. You won't feel cold if you put them on."
“…”
After sending Tao Qian away, Tao Siyun hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but said, "Can you please stop teasing my brother?"
Xu Ji: “?”
"You can't flirt with him, he's already married." Tao Siyun picked up the cilantro that he had accidentally picked up from his bowl and put it into his bowl one by one, adding hesitantly, "Someone will mind..."
Xu Ji stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed softly.
Deliberately ask: "Who minds?"
Tao Siyun had an expression that said, "Don't pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth." He found a legitimate excuse to hide his thoughts, "Who would mind if you asked a married man to send you 520?"
Xu Ji said "Oh" lightly, ignoring her deliberate hint of a roundabout way, and said casually: "I don't care what others think of me. I thought you would mind."
“…”
Tao Siyun hesitated several times to speak, and she couldn't say the words "I mind".
After Xu Ji teased her, he wanted to tease her some more, so he sat over with his bowl full of cilantro and took the initiative to give her a chance.
I asked lazily, "When did I flirt with your brother?"
Tao Siyun raised his eyes and saw that he finally had the chance to speak. He looked at him calmly, as if he had all the evidence.
It's clearly there, but you still refuse to admit it.
"Then why did you ask him to send you 520? Sunflower is clearly 519, why are you taking advantage of him?"
Xu Ji raised an eyebrow, his expression somewhat intriguing. "I'm saying, could you please stop relying on your brother to highlight your possessiveness towards me?"
“…”
Xu Ji tapped the table with his fingertips, observing her reaction as he spoke softly, "Besides, it's not like he hasn't sent it before."
“…”
here we go again.
That happened so long ago! Why is he bringing it up now?
Seeing that Tao Siyun started to pretend to be dead without saying a word, Xu Ji took out the evidence directly in front of her.
He opened WeChat, clicked on the chat box with Tao Qian, swiped up, found the transfer record from last year, and leaned closer to her, "Look carefully, who flirted with whom first?"
When he said this, he was very close to her and his tone was very ambiguous. Tao Siyun was like a child who had done something bad and was afraid to admit it. She didn't even dare to glance at his phone screen out of the corner of her eye.
She glanced around, never daring to respond directly, and simply lied with her eyes open, "My brother is flirting with you, okay, please stay away from me..."
Xu Ji slowly curled his lips, quietly pushed her in, lowered his voice, and repeated the question: "Is it your brother who flirted with me?"
"……Um."
"Tao Siyun." Xu Ji called her, and took her hand and reached forward without anyone noticing. He found the knot and fiddled with it for a while. Just when Tao Qian and Qiao Ying took the fruit and walked towards them, he suddenly pulled lightly, and the sleeve of her shirt tied around her waist immediately loosened.
Tao Siyun was startled and quickly held his hand, "What are you doing..."
Xu Ji looked at Tao Qian not far away without changing her expression. The hand under the table that she had held through her apron had changed its position.
"Does your brother know that you are framing him like this? Huh?"
Tao Siyun's ears flushed, he shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Xu Ji's hands were rubbing and tickling her waist through her thin cotton T-shirt, and he continued to ask, "Tell me, who teased who?"
Now she had to admit it.
"I……"
"Dorothy, why are you teasing me?"
Weren't you the one who flirted with me first? You're asking for exorbitant prices: 500 for carrying me, 20 more for hugging you. Have you forgotten everything?!
Of course, Tao Siyun only dared to think about these words in his heart and did not have the courage to say them out loud.
Seeing Tao Qian and Qiao Ying getting closer and closer, Tao Siyun became anxious, "Sit over there and keep some distance from me. Don't get so close..."
The more anxious she acted, the more excessive Xu Ji's hands became.
"Who was the first to try that rounding trick on me? Why, you can round up and add an extra dollar, but your brother can't?"
