You are my good friend
At the end of July, Lin Yu finished a period of work, packed some clothes, and prepared to return to Linjia Village to stay with his grandmother for a few days.
While waiting for the bus, Lin Yu was bored and looking at her phone when a white car slowly pulled up in front of her. Lin Yu thought it was coming to pick someone up, so she moved aside to make room.
The window of the white car slowly lowered, and Chen Zhuo took the steering wheel with both hands. "Get in the car, I'll take you home. The bus here doesn't come often."
"Need not……"
"No need." A loud male voice drowned out Lin Yu's voice. Looking in the direction of the voice, Tao Xingye, dressed in beige casual clothes, strode towards Lin Yu.
Tao Xingye hugged Lin Yu's shoulders and said, "You must be Lin Yu's new colleague, right? Hello, my name is Tao Xingye."
Chen Zhuo glanced at the car keys casually held in his hand, then glanced at Lin Yu. Finally, he smiled and nodded to Tao Xingye, "Then I'll be leaving first."
As soon as Chen Zhuo left, Lin Yu pushed Tao Xingye away.
How could Tao Xingye not understand her character? She just wanted to use her to drive away bad romantic interests, but he, Tao Xingye, was not someone who could be used for nothing.
"Where are you going? I'll take you there." Tao Xingye walked around behind Lin Yu without saying anything, pushed her shoulders and stuffed her into the passenger seat, "I also have something to ask of you."
He got in the car, and Lin Yu hadn't fastened her seatbelt yet, apparently not wanting to go with him. Tao Xingye wasn't in a hurry, and took a document from the back seat and handed it to Lin Yu, "Your dividends, bank cards, and everything are all in there."
When he opened it, he found not only a bank card, but also a house in an excellent location. Lin Yu took the bank card and returned the rest to Tao Xingye.
"This is what you deserve. You don't have to give it back to me." Seeing that Lin Yu was still unwilling to give in, Tao Xingye had no choice but to give in. "Okay, by the way, wherever you go, I'll go with you."
Lin Yu hesitated for a moment and still didn't fasten her seat belt. "Tao Xingye, I know you have a fiancée." She looked straight ahead. Tao Xingye stared into her eyes, but no emotion could be seen in his eyes.
"What kind of person do you think I am?" Lin Yu turned her head to look at him. "I know someone has a fiancée, but I still don't draw a clear line. I'm a shameless person? Or am I a shameless person who is blinded by money and will do anything for it?"
Lin Yu held up the bank card in his hand and said, "This is what I deserve. I set you up to make up for the mistake of leaking the information in the beginning, not for you."
She picked up the bag, pulled the car door and was about to get out. "We don't want to see each other again."
"I don't have a fiancée anymore!" Tao Xingye stepped forward and slammed the half-open car door shut. Lin Yu was completely trapped in his arms. "Lin Yu, my engagement with her is cancelled."
For some reason, Lin Yu actually heard some grievance and coquettishness in Tao Xingye's tone.
Tao Xingye was just a little above her, staring at her with wet eyes, like an abandoned kitten.
"You, why don't you bring your little white cat with you?" Lin Yu sat up straight. "I'm going to Linjia Village. If it's not on your way, just take me to the station."
Little white cat? Why did Lin Yu suddenly mention her? Tao Xingye stared at her in confusion. Just as he was about to ask, he saw her ears flush red and suddenly understood.
Linjia Village, that was where they had spent a lot of time together when they were little. Lin Yu must have wanted him to stay there for a few more days, but she was also worried that the little white cat would not be able to stay home alone.
"Hahahaha, I'll go pick her up now." Tao Xingye excitedly pulled out the seat belt for Lin Yu.
He ran up to the apartment building in a hurry, and when he came down in less than ten minutes, a furry little white cat was lying in his arms.
Tao Xingye passed it to Lin Yu through the car window. The kitten recognized her scent and kept rubbing against Lin Yu, happier than when she was with Tao Xingye.
"Hey, but I help you bathe and cook, how can you like Lin Yu more!" Tao Xingye said as he half squeezed his body into the car to take care of the kitten. Lin Yu quickly held the kitten away to prevent him from touching it.
"Hurry up and get in the car. We'll be on the road in the middle of the day and the kitten and I will be hungry." Lin Yu hugged the kitten and rubbed his face against it. "It's so soft and fragrant."
Tao Xingye's eyes froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He kept stealing glances at Lin Yu on the way to the driver's seat. He thought, that was the kitten he washed, how could it not smell good?
When Lin Yu praised the kitten's fragrance, he was praising him for washing well, so it was equivalent to praising him.
"You haven't named it yet? It's so big now, it's time for a name. Are we going to call it little white cat, little white cat every day from now on?" Lin Yu lowered his head and stroked the cat's fur, not noticing that Tao Xingye's ears next to him turned red instantly.
Tao Xingye started the car silently, his mind full of Lin Yu's words, "From now on, just call her Tao Damai."
He emphasized the word "later", but Lin Yu was so focused on the kitten that he didn't notice at all.
Tao Xingye reached out and touched the kitten, "Tao Damai, hello."
"What's Tao Damai? What a crappy name you came up with! Stop using wheat to tease others." Lin Yu remembered the nickname he gave himself, "It's as ugly as Lin Xiaomai."
"Hey, Lin Xiaomai, why are you being so unpleasant? Xiaomai is so beautiful, just as special as you." Tao Xingye blurted out.
As soon as the words fell, both of them were stunned.
Tao Damai was clamoring to get into Tao Xingye's arms. Tao Xingye stared at Lin Yu with burning eyes. Lin Yu lowered his head and hugged Tao Damai back, "Let's drive."
When the two returned to the village, Grandma Lin Yu was already waiting at the door. "Isn't this Xingye? And there's a kitten."
Grandma was teasing the kitten, tearing off a piece of bacon hanging from the eaves and feeding it into the kitten's mouth.
"Grandma, I hope the kitten doesn't eat bacon." As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, the kitten stuffed the whole piece of bacon into its mouth.
"..."Okay, she shouldn't have said that. Tao Xingye's laughter came from beside her. Without thinking, Lin Yu stepped on his clean white shoes and said, "Don't laugh!"
"Hey, grandma, please take care of her. My shoes are all dirty." Tao Xingye pulled his grandmother's arm and wailed.
"Tao Xingye, stop pretending! Get out of here!" Lin Yu pulled his clothes and tried to pull him out, but Lin Yu's grandmother protected Tao Xingye behind her.
"Xiaoyu, Xingye is a guest in our house. What's wrong with you?" Grandma said, then looked at Tao Xingye with a smile. "You and Xiaoyu go wash your hands. I'll ask her to clean you after dinner."
"Okay, okay." Tao Xingye thought, if his shoes don't get dry, he can live in Lin Yu's house and stay with Lin Yu forever. "Do you want to dirty the other one too?"
“…” Lin Yu glared at him and went to wash her hands while holding the kitten.
At the dinner table, Tao Xingye ate three bowls of rice in one go, which shocked Lin Yu. When he finished the third bowl, Lin Yu was afraid that he would choke to death, so she silently took a glass of water and placed it next to Tao Xingye.
Tao Xingye had a poor appetite that month. Too many things were weighing on him, and more importantly, he couldn't see Lin Yu.
Now that he saw Lin Yu, all his worries were solved and his appetite was as good as ever.
Grandma Lin Yu likes to watch others eat with big mouthfuls, and she looks extremely satisfied when she sees Tao Xingye.
After dinner, Lin Yu stayed in the kitchen to wash dishes, while Tao Xingye climbed onto the roof to repair the satellite dish of the TV for Lin Yu's grandmother.
Grandma Lin Yu quietly held Tao Damai in her arms and came close to Lin Yu. "I really like this Xingye. I agree with what you two are doing. If your parents have any objections, let them come to me."
"What's going on between us? He and I are just ordinary friends." How could grandma link her with Tao Xingye? There was no possibility that they were together.
"Can I bring ordinary friends home?"
"At most, we're just good friends."
"A good friend climbed up and down to fix our satellite dish, and even brought a kitten with him?" Grandma Lin Yu smiled as if seeing through everything, holding up the kitten in her arms. "Xiaoyu, grandma is not an old-fashioned person. I support your free love."
"What free love? He and I..."
"That's right!" Tao Xingye suddenly appeared from nowhere and jumped to Lin Yu's side, hugging her. "Grandma, to be honest, I am pursuing Lin Yu. But your granddaughter is very outstanding, and I am not worthy of her attention."
"Keep up the good work. I'll take the kitten for a walk. You two get busy." Grandma Lin Yu ran away as fast as her feet were greased, leaving only the two of them in the kitchen.
It was noon and the sun was shining brightly. Tao Xingye was sweating on the roof and his cotton and linen shirt was sticking to him.
"Find me some clothes, I need to change." Tao Xingye knew that he had gone too far just now, and begged her in a soft tone, pulling the corner of Lin Yu's clothes.
Lin Yu glared at him, "No clothes!" She slapped Tao Xingye's hand away. His beige clothes were already stained in many places.
"But you can go to the market and buy one." Lin Yu crossed his arms and smiled slyly, "Master Tao, if you don't go, you won't have anything to wear."
Lin Yu stared at him as if she was enjoying a good show. Didn't she understand Tao Xingye? Letting him run around in a filthy mess was just as embarrassing as letting him shout in the street.
"How about going or not?" Lin Yu clapped his hands. "Forget it if you don't want to go. I'm going to take a nap..."
"Who told you I won't go?" Tao Xingye grabbed Lin Yu's wrist and stared at her aggressively. "I'd love for you to go shopping with me."
He narrowed his eyes. Now it was his turn to tease Lin Yu. "Come on, take me there."
"Let's go." Lin Yu pouted and deliberately chose a small road to prevent Tao Xingye from driving.
Even if she had to die in the sun with Tao Xingye, she would rather he walked around in dirty clothes for a while and embarrassed himself.
There were many people dispersing in the afternoon market, but not many were buying clothes.
Tao Xingye had never seen such a clothing store, or to be more precise, a clothing stall.
The two large tents were connected together, and the surrounding areas were filled with all kinds of clothing that were wholesaled from somewhere unknown.
There are so many things on display, all so tightly packed together that you can't tell the style unless you get closer.
"I won't wear this dress, take me to the supermarket."
"The nearest supermarket is two kilometers away. It's too sunny outside. I'm not going there." Lin Yu picked up the pile of clothes. Actually, there was nothing to choose from.
Tao Xingye is a man of good qualities and looks good in whatever he wears.
But I always feel that these clothes are not satisfactory. There are too many loose threads and the tailoring is not good. They are indeed not worthy of him.
Do you want to walk another two kilometers to the supermarket to buy it?
Lin Yu was hesitating when Tao Xingye reached out and took out a pink T-shirt.
"I want this." Tao Xingye hugged the clothes lovingly. Lin Yu had never seen him love something so much.
"Let me see." She took the clothes. They were very ordinary, and even had a cartoon pattern printed on them. Why did Tao Xingye have a special liking for them?
"Let's go and check out." Tao Xingye picked up another pair of jeans and handed the two items to the owner.
The shop owner fiddled with the computer for a while, and then a robotic female voice rang out, "Eighty-nine plus forty-six equals one hundred and thirty-five."
"Round off the number and give me one hundred and thirty." The owner said to Tao Xingye.
"Give me the money." Tao Xingye stood behind Lin Yu with confidence, and the owner was amused by his appearance.
"Little sister, you are so beautiful, you can't look for a boyfriend like him. You have to pay for his clothes, no matter how handsome he is." The owner cracked melon seeds and teased them with a smile.
Tao Xingye took off the clothes rack and put it on the table. "Who told you that I'm just handsome? I have many advantages. Otherwise, why would my wife be willing to support me for free?"
His tone was ambiguous. Lin Yu half understood, but also knew that he had a deeper meaning. She took out the money with a red face. The owner looked at them both with understanding, which made Lin Yu's face blush even redder.
"Let's go, wife." Tao Xingye put his arm around Lin Yu's shoulders and led her out.
It wasn't until the sun hit her face that Lin Yu came back to her senses, "I'm not your wife."
If it’s not, then it’s not. It will be in the future.
"I'm sorry, I was just joking. I hope you don't mind." Tao Xingye bent down with a smile and looked up at Lin Yu.
His eyes suddenly became a little lonely, "I'm sorry, I'm really not good at dealing with people."
Can't get along with people? Lin Yu thought about how he had treated her before, and vaguely felt that his family was very complicated.
Is he also being ignored like me?
"No, Tao Xingye, don't think of yourself like that." Lin Yu took out the tissue he carried with him and handed it to Tao Xingye.
Tao Xingye took the tissue, stood up straight, and said seriously, "Lin Yu,"
Lin Yu looked towards him upon hearing the voice.
"How can you... be so gullible, haha ..."
Tao Xingye laughed so hard that his waist bent. Lin Yu swore that if she felt pity for Tao Xingye again, she would change her name to Lin Xiaomai!
"Get lost!" Lin Yu raised his foot to step on his other shoe and dirty it, then walked back with a stiff face.
"Lin Yu, don't be angry, you are my good friend."
"roll!"
"Lin Yu, seriously, I don't have many friends."
"roll!"
"Lin Yu, I'm really sad that you're doing this. Please don't be like this. I'm wrong, okay?"
"real?"
"Fake, hahahahahahaha."
