Chapter 32

"Young Master, the Madam is back."

Qiu Yi showed no expression, as if he didn't hear anything. Tao Luanxi side-glanced at Qiu Yi, who looked calm and even a little cold. Wei Bo stood aside for a long time without getting a response, and there was no embarrassment on his face. After a few minutes, he naturally bowed and retreated.

After the two of them finished their meal, Qiu Yi wiped his mouth and turned to look at Tao Luanxi: "Are you going home?"

Tao Luanxi nodded. Just when he was having dinner, Tao's father had sent him several messages asking him when he would be back. He had wasted quite a bit of time here, so it was time for him to go back.

Coming out of the restaurant, they saw a beautiful woman sitting on the sofa in the living room opposite, sipping tea from a cup. Wei Bo was standing next to her. When she felt someone coming over, the woman slowly raised her eyes and glanced at the two of them coldly.

Tao Luanxi subconsciously clenched his fists slightly, and was surprised at the indifference and disgust in the woman's eyes. Moreover, this look was not directed at him, but at the person beside him.

Tao Luanxi glanced at Qiu Yi. Qiu Yi was able to ignore the woman's sharp gaze, as if he was used to it.

According to what Wei Bo said just now and his current attitude, no matter how stupid Tao Luanxi was, he could tell who the woman opposite him was.

Seeing that Qiu Yi had no intention of greeting her, Qiu Yunzhi raised her voice and said, "Dad always thinks of you, his good grandson, in everything. Why did he leave you alone at home when he went out this time?"

While Qiu Yunzhi was talking, Qiu Yi had already opened the shoe cabinet to change his shoes. Hearing her words, Qiu Yi slowly straightened up, tilted his head and smiled coldly at Qiu Yunzhi: "Why don't you ask yourself? Aren't you staying in the country like me?"

Just these few words made Qiu Yunzhi's face turn pale and her chest heaved violently. She wanted to say something, but Qiu Yi didn't give her the chance and pulled Tao Luanxi out the door.

It snowed a few days after the New Year, and there were still patches of melted snow on the green ground in front of the house. Qiu Yi put on a sweater for home wear, and his hands became cold after walking for a while, but he insisted on holding Tao Luanxi's hand, and his straight back showed no sign of bending.

"I'll take you to the bus."

Tao Luanxi originally wanted to say no, but when she glanced at Qiu Yi's frosty profile, she thought, forget it, if he wants to give it to her, then let him give it to her!

The two walked in silence for several minutes, and Qiu Yi suddenly spoke up: "That person just now was my mother."

"...Oh." Tao Luanxi's heart tightened. Are we going to start talking about this now?

"I have a bad relationship with her, as you can probably tell."

"kindness."

Qiu Yi let out a long breath, like a sigh and a sigh: "She is probably the person in the world who wants me to die the most."

Tao Luanxi lowered her eyes and pursed her lips: "It shouldn't be that serious, right?"

Qiu Yi turned around and smiled at him: "If the birth of a child ruins the mother's marriage or even her life, no one would like this child! I understand her on this point."

Tao Luanxi was a little shocked, staring blankly at Qiu Yi's desolate smiling eyes, but still holding a glimmer of hope, she asked, "What about your father?"

"Do you remember my last name is Qiu?"

Tao Luanxi nodded.

Qiu Yi shrugged and said helplessly, "So I don't have a father."

Tao Luanxi remained silent. Perhaps he shouldn't have said too much. After all, it was not a pleasant thing to let others open up his scars.

Qiu Yi said casually, "Do you remember my promise to answer any questions you have? I am willing to tell you what you have to say."

In the cold wind, Qiu Yi's fingers had turned slightly red, and they were cold against the skin of Tao Luanxi's wrist. Tao Luanxi blinked, turned his hand in a circle silently, and put his palm against Qiu Yi's palm. By interlocking their fingers, he was able to share some of the power in his hand with him.

The two of them walked all the way to the subway exit. After Tao Luanxi got her ticket, Qiu Yi's palms finally felt a little warmer.

"I'm leaving."

"Let's go!" Despite saying this, Qiu Yi never let go.

"I'm really gone."

"Let's go!" Qiu Yi smiled.

Tao Luanxi was speechless. He raised his arm and shook their clasped hands.

Qiu Yi let go and put his hands back into his trouser pockets: "Go back!"

"Go back, don't catch a cold."

Tao Luanxi got in the car, leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside that was quickly moving away, then took out his cell phone and sent a message to Qiu Yi.

【See you at the beginning of the new semester. 】

The days of winter vacation passed quickly. After visiting every household during the Chinese New Year, it was almost time for school to start. Usually on the first day, Tao Luanxi would go to school a little earlier to deliver the winter vacation homework that she had prepared long ago to the students in need, and to get some compliments at the same time.

Qiu Yi stepped into the classroom as the bell rang, and walked in with Shen Tan. He stared at Shen Tan's glare with a calm face, sat down in his seat, put down his schoolbag, turned around and smiled at Tao Luanxi: "See you again, deskmate!"

Tao Luanxi ignored him, but Shen Tan on the podium said in a sinister tone: "We meet again after a winter break, and some of you are still so annoying!"

When there are no activities, there are boring classes and self-study. Tao Luanxi and Qiu Yi still maintain a relationship of caring about money and not talking much. Tao Luanxi listens to the class seriously, while Qiu Yi sleeps in the morning and plays with his mobile phone in the afternoon.

During the last class in the afternoon, Qiu Yi hadn't listened to any messages on his phone. Although the teacher couldn't hear much because the guy had turned on the vibration mode, Tao Luanxi, as his deskmate, probably heard every message clearly.

Qiu Yi lowered his head and replied to messages quickly under the table, and occasionally made two impatient clicks. Originally, Tao Luanxi was listening to the class with a clear mind, but every time Qiu Yi spoke, he could draw Tao Luanxi's attention. After this happened so many times, Tao Luanxi couldn't help but feel a little impatient, and turned his head to stare at Qiu Yi dimly.

This guy seemed to have eyes on the side. Whenever Tao Luanxi looked at him, Qiu Yi raised his head, smiled at him, picked up a pen, quickly wrote a line on the paper, and pushed it between the two desks.

"Are you going to Sister Xiang's place for dinner tonight?"

Tao Luanxi took a glance at it while listening to the class and seriously put a tick behind Qiu Yi's words.

Qiu Yi raised his lips and added: "Then walk faster when the class is over. I'm hungry."

When it was time to go home from school, when no one else had moved yet, Qiu Yi urged Tao Luanxi to leave quickly. However, the teacher kept talking for a long time before letting them go. When the teacher finally finished talking and left, a tall and strong boy was already blocking the door outside, looking at Qiu Yi with a smile.

"Fuck!" Qiu Yi had already jumped up and was about to leave, but when he saw the people outside, he cursed under his breath and sat down on the chair again.

Tao Luanxi glanced outside. The person who came was called Xing Xing. As his name suggested, he looked like a gorilla. He was the captain of the current basketball team. They had met at the last dinner, and Tao Luanxi also knew him.

"Finally we caught you? You still want to run? Can you run?" Xing Xing walked in with a smile and sat on the table in front of Qiu Yi: "What are you fighting for? Just obey us and we'll be done with you!"

Qiu Yi rolled his eyes, and it was rare for him to look so bad in school: "No!"

"Tsk! Don't you like playing basketball? Come to the team, there will be plenty of people to play with you every day!"

"I also like boxing and fighting. Do you want to practice with me?" Qiu Yi glanced at Xing Xing coldly.

Xing Xing smiled and said, "Goodbye, no one can beat you, Master Qiu, in this. Hey, just agree to it. I'm going to kneel down and call you daddy! Can you have a little sympathy?"

"I can't give birth to a son like you!"

"Tsk! He's just a nobody!" Xing Xing turned to look at Tao Luanxi. Xing Xing had seen Qiu Yi's condition during the last competition. Maybe this guy could help.

"I can't persuade this man anymore. Tao Luanxi, can you help me persuade him? We are brothers. Can you please help me?"

Qiu Yi glared at Xing Xing with an ambiguous look: "You really know how to find people."

"Me?" Tao Luanxi was a little at a loss when being cueed for any reason. He turned his head and stared at Qiu Yi.

"You don't want to join the basketball team?"

Qiu Yi touched his head and said, "It's too much trouble."

"What's the trouble? Since you came, I've caused trouble to others. Can't you just focus on practicing basketball?" Seeing that Qiu Yi's attitude softened a little, Xing Xing thought that this trick was indeed useful, so he turned around and focused on Tao Luanxi.

"Brother Tao, do you think Qiu Yi is very handsome and manly when playing basketball?"

"Uh..." Tao Luanxi frowned, but Qiu Yi was also looking at him expectantly. The two of them were flanking him from both sides, so Tao Luanxi gritted her teeth and said, "He is quite handsome."

"Isn't it?" Xing Xing clapped his hands. "You have skills and a handsome face. How cool would it be to run back and forth on the basketball court? Who wouldn't like that, right, Brother Tao?"

Tao Luanxi wanted to cover his mouth. Forget about praising Qiu Yi, but can you please not drag him into this? !

Qiu Yi raised his eyebrows, smiling: "Sa?"

Xing Xing made faces at Tao Luanxi, almost nodding her head to say yes.

“Is that so?”

Xing Xing applauded Tao Luan: "Brother Tao still gave me face." Then he raised his chin and looked at Qiu Yi with a proud look: "The people have spoken, are you coming?"

Qiu Yi pretended not to hear what he said, and stared at Tao Luanxi: "Come on, someone said I'm cool, so of course I have to come."

The matter was settled. Before leaving, Xing Xing really called him "Dad" and waved to Tao Luanxi: "Brother Tao, thank you for what you did today. I'll treat you to dinner some other day!"

Qiu Yi stretched out his hand and grabbed his neck: "Why call me Brother Tao? Call me Daddy Tao!"

The next day, Qiu Yi went to report to the basketball team. Xing Xing was overjoyed to welcome the powerful newcomer and did not forget to bring Tao Luanxi along as well.

"Our basketball manager from last year is going to retire this year. Why don't you come over? You know everyone on the basketball team anyway. You can just deliver water, watch the training, and follow the team to watch games."

Tao Luanxi refused, mainly because he had already agreed to be an assistant teacher for the biology teacher's biology experiment class two days ago, and coupled with the work of the Youth League branch, he was really too busy to handle it.

Within two days, Tao Luanxi heard from Xing Xing that a new basketball manager had been appointed. It was a new girl from Class 2 who was pretty and had a good temperament. On the first day of her application, she replaced all the players with a pair of ADs. Under financial pressure, Xing Xing nodded and agreed to this matter. At the end, she reminded Tao Luanxi in an ambiguous way: "This girl is here for people."

Tao Luanxi nodded perfunctorily and said that he understood, but in fact he didn't take it seriously at all. The biology experiment class had started in the past two days, and he was already exhausted preparing materials with the teacher. How could he have the mood to care about other things?

This afternoon was the first class. Tao Luanxi took the prepared materials to the laboratory. When she opened the door, she saw that the teacher had not come yet, but a tall girl had already arrived.

Seeing Tao Luanxi coming in, she was not shy and took the initiative to approach and asked with a smile: "Are you Tao Luanxi?"

Tao Luanxi nodded: "Hello."

The girl smiled and held out her hand: "I'm Mo Xiahan, please give me your guidance."
