Chapter 54

The midterm exams and the parents' meeting were a good coolant, diluting Tao Luanxi's excitement about her first love. She still studied hard at school. In addition, Shen Tan was also very strict with her, so the two of them basically had no chance to be alone together.

Two days ago, Class A replaced a few broken desks, and they all organized themselves to go to the warehouse on the first floor to get them. Tao Luanxi happened to pass by, and seeing that they were all girls, she felt obligated to step forward and help move them.

Although Tao Luanxi is always a lazy person who doesn't do anything in private, whether at home or in front of Qiu Yi, but now they are in school after all, and she is a good student after all, so she will definitely help if she can.

"Sorry to trouble you." Several girls felt embarrassed.

"It's okay." Tao Luanxi smiled at the girls soothingly: "You guys take the matching chairs up, I'll move the table."

"Thank you so much." A blush appeared on one girl's face. The girl looked at Tao Luanxi's profile and wanted to say something, but was stopped by a figure who suddenly passed by and stretched out his hand.

Tao Luanxi was concentrating on the road ahead, and caught a glimpse of a dark shadow appearing behind him. Then the table in his hand loosened and fell into the hands of that person.

Qiu Yi had no expression. He held the desk that he had just snatched from Tao Luanxi in one hand, then stretched out his long arm to take another one and placed it upside down on the table.

Several girls were completely blocked behind Qiu Yi and their expressions could not be seen, but Tao Luanxi no longer had the heart to care about them.

"Where did you escape from?"

When they first met, Qiu Yi would often suddenly appear and scare Tao Luanxi. Now thinking back, how could it be possible that Qiu Yi would run into him by such a coincidence every time? Could it be that this guy was following him secretly?

"I walked here normally!"

At an angle that the girls watching could not see, Qiu Yi pointed to his forehead and whispered, "I have an eye that is specifically for you."

Tao Luanxi pursed her lips and wanted to smile, but then she thought of the other people here, so she coughed twice and said, "Hurry up and go up."

"Come with me and help me watch the road." Qiu Yi turned his body and blocked the girl who wanted to stick her head out to talk.

“…”

Tao Luanxi blinked and looked at Qiu Yi's eyes carefully. She was a little surprised that this guy could be so serious about being jealous.

"I'll move two too. I won't have to make another trip if I finish moving them all at once." Tao Luanxi suggested.

Qiu Yi snorted lightly: "Can your weak arms and legs carry two at a time? Anyway, I have nothing to do, so it doesn't matter if I make another trip."

Before Tao Luanxi could say anything, the girl behind Qiu Yi quickly interrupted, "She's not thin. Tao Luanxi has a perfect figure, a well-proportioned frame, and a nice body."

Tao Luanxi always liked to hear people praise him, and was about to roll his eyes at Qiu Yi in a haughty manner, but after hearing this, Qiu Yi immediately looked at the girl behind him and grinned, showing his sharp white teeth: "Do you like it?"

The question was too direct. The girl blushed and stammered, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Then she lowered her head and left with a few of her companions.

Tao Luanxi's face was full of black lines: "Why are you teasing her?"

Qiu Yi shrugged, nonchalant and confident: "Eliminate the love rival."

"I don't like her, so how can I be a love rival?"

Qiu Yi stretched out his hand and pinched Tao Luanxi's cheek. His handsome face against the light was tinged with a hint of obscure gloom and paranoia, but he still smiled: "Of course you don't like her. You can only like me."

Tao Luanxi was not willing to be outdone, so she stood on tiptoe and pinched Qiu Yi's face: "You too!"

Such things happened more often after that. Although they were both busy with their own things and didn't communicate much, every time such a thing happened, Qiu Yi would always be the first to rush out and do it for Tao Luanxi. For a whole month, Tao Luanxi didn't even carry her own schoolbag twice. Tao Luanxi looked at Qiu Yi's back as he carried her schoolbag, and in a trance she had the illusion that she saw a boyfriend carrying his girlfriend's bag on a date.

Tao Luanxi found it difficult to accept this feeling of being cared for and treated as the weaker party at first. He always felt that his male self-esteem was hurt. For a while, he refused to let Qiu Yi help him no matter what. Qiu Yi did not rush to explain, but just followed Tao Luanxi obediently. Once, when he went to the archives to get a few gray folders for the teacher, Qiu Yi followed behind him to "kindly remind him."

"You've got dust on your sleeves."

"A spider seemed to have just come out of the box. Did you see it?"

"There's a little ink on the side. Be careful not to get it on your clothes."

What bothered Tao Luanxi the most was that his white shirt was stained with something, ruining his handsome appearance, so he quickly gave everything in his hand to Qiu Yi.

Qiu Yi was still happy doing the hard work, and turned to smile at Tao Luanxi: "As expected, I am more suitable for this kind of thing. Isn't it good for you to be beautiful alone?"

Tao Luanxi finally understood. It made sense. He had always seen clean young men doing these things in TV dramas. Anyway, there was a ready-made "coolie" here, so why not use it?

Tao Luanxi gladly accepted it and no longer cared about his own male dignity. Qiu Yi was also very happy as he invisibly blocked many girls who wanted to talk to Tao Luanxi more for reasons of continuing their work.

"Sister Xiangxiang sent me a message asking why I didn't go to her place for dinner during this period."

In the badminton class, Qiu Yi was teaching Tao Luanxi how to swing while chatting. Tao Luanxi then remembered that since the last time she confessed to Qiu Yi, the two of them had never been to "Jibei" again. No wonder Mi Xiangxiang sent a message to ask.

Thinking of her current relationship with Qiu Yi, Tao Luanxi felt a little guilty. Holding the badminton racket, she turned to look at Qiu Yi: "Do you want to go?"

Qiu Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Go ahead. I'm tired of eating in the cafeteria lately."

"……good."

"Xixi." Qiu Yi continued to practice the reason for swinging the racket, holding Tao Luanxi's wrist and almost holding her in his arms: "Don't feel guilty, we are just following our hearts."

Tao Luanxi frowned and thought seriously for a moment. Qiu Yi was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he lowered his head and kissed his hair gently. Their place was relatively remote, with few people paying attention to them. Tao Luanxi pushed him and whispered, "I have never thought that this is wrong, but let's tell her about this matter slowly first!"

"good."

Mi Xiangxiang's "cups" still smelled of milk tea. The curtain leading to the back kitchen was open, and Mi Xiangxiang could be seen cooking something in her apron. Seeing the two people coming over, Mi Xiangxiang didn't deliberately greet them, but pointed upstairs and said, "Sit down first, it will be ready in a while."

There was a small staircase on the second floor leading to the rooftop balcony. Tao Luanxi had nothing to do, so he went up to take a look.

Grapes were planted on both sides of the balcony, and a rack was built with pillars in the middle. The grape vines hung along the rack to form a semi-arc balcony roof. The grape leaves were stacked and intertwined, with flower spikes dotted on them.

"That's great." Tao Luanxi looked down at the small tomatoes planted in a large flower box on the ground and sighed, "It's a pity that my family already has a dog, so we can't grow plants." He added in his heart that he had recently raised a second dog.

The "second dog" hugged Tao Luanxi from behind, and his warm breath swept over Tao Luanxi's neck. The orange sunset brought warm light, which heightened the ambiguous atmosphere to a higher level.

Qiu Yi lifted Tao Luanxi's chin with his index finger, coaxing him to turn his head. The other party's intention to get close was too obvious, and Tao Luanxi's scalp tingled: "This is in someone's store."

"She's downstairs cooking."

"What if it comes up..."

"Wooden stairs. We can hear it when we come up."

"That won't work either."

"Xixi." Qiu Yi gently stroked the tender flesh on Tao Luanxi's chin with his thumb, racking his brains to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Tao Luanxi blocked his mouth.

The kiss was quick. Tao Luanxi pursed her lips and pushed it away a little. The blush on her face was against the sunset glow. "I want to take the initiative."

Qiu Yi smiled: "Then I'll wait for you."
