Chapter 70
If Tao Luanxi knew that the bus was the last time they would see each other during the entire summer vacation, he would definitely pull Qiu Yi aside to talk to him for a few more words.
After returning from the summer camp, Qiu Yi disappeared without a trace as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, and he only replied to my messages sporadically.
Tao Luanxi knew that Qiu Yi was abducted by his grandfather to work in the company, but she didn't expect that this guy would be so busy that he was not in the country most of the time.
Sometimes when Tao Luanxi woke up in the morning, she would send a message to Qiu Yi while brushing her teeth, and soon after, she would receive a call from him.
Qiu Yi's voice was tired: "Awake?"
"Yeah." Tao Luanxi spit out the toothpaste foam: "Just woke up, how about you?"
Qiu Yi smiled bitterly and said in a half-asleep state: "I haven't slept yet. I can rest after I finish dealing with things. I have to get up early tomorrow morning to catch a flight back home." Yu Xituan left.
"What time is it there?"
"It's almost two o'clock."
"Teacher Shen will be crazy again if he knows you. You have never studied so hard before." Tao Luanxi wiped her mouth and was about to go downstairs when Qiu Yi called. Tao Luanxi held the phone in one hand and took the pig doll next to the pillow with the other hand and hugged it in her arms.
"Oh, I'd rather study and take exams now. These jobs in the company are not suitable for human beings." Qiu Yi sighed: "Xixi, I miss you so much."
The deep and magnetic voice penetrated Tao Luanxi's eardrum through the receiver. The ear that was pressed against the phone felt slightly hot. Tao Luanxi hummed twice: "No entertainment when you go out to work?"
"Yes," Qiu Yi laughed softly, "The service at the bar here is quite rich."
Tao Luanxi ruthlessly rubbed the doll's face: "So you still experienced it, right?"
"Hmm? Lemon?"
"I'm not jealous," Tao Luanxi snorted, "I'm going to hook up with the girl next door tomorrow! You've been passed over, you dog Qiu Yi!"
Qiu Yi laughed even louder: "Last time you told me that your neighbor's 10-year-old girl was making a fuss, and now you want to pick her up?"
"It's none of your business!"
"It's none of my business!" Qiu Yi lowered his voice: "Do you miss me, Xixi?"
"If I were to say I thought about it, it seems I didn't think much about it."
"Oh," Qiu Yi said with a smile, "Does Xiao Xixi miss me?"
Tao Luanxi was stunned for a moment before she reacted, and her face immediately turned red.
"Anyway, I miss it a lot. Please let me know when I want to go and reminisce about it."
"Old rascal!" Tao Luanxi cursed, and even Xiao Xixi felt a little uncomfortable.
"I have four hours before my flight, so I have to hang up. Xixi, say something to cheer me up."
"What do you want me to say?"
"Think about it yourself. Do you need me to teach you how to coax your boyfriend?"
Tao Luanxi was silent for a long time. Although she had heard Qiu Yi say many obscene or perverted love words up to now, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she opened her mouth.
"Rest early and come back early."
Qiu Yi said disappointedly: "That's it? It's too perfunctory!"
"Go to sleep." Before hanging up, Tao Luanxi quickly added: "I miss you, Xiao Xixi misses you too."
Tao Luanxi hung up the phone. He heaved a long sigh and patted his hot cheeks. It turned out that Qiu Yi had led him astray!
The hot summer days were gradually passing, and the school was about to start. Tao Luanxi prepared her summer homework and excitedly went to school with her schoolbag on her back.
"So early today?" Mr. Tao was still eating breakfast and was a little surprised to see Tao Luanxi stomping downstairs.
"When has our Xixi not been the first one to arrive at school on the first day of school?" Tao's mother smiled and served Tao Luanxi porridge: "Get to school early and hand in homework early, right?"
Tao Luanxi paused with her chopsticks in her hand, nodded vaguely, lowered her head to drink her porridge, and didn't dare to look at the two parents.
In fact, if Mother Tao hadn't said that, Tao Luanxi would have completely forgotten about her homework. The reason why she went there early today was simply because she wanted to see Qiu Yi earlier.
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen you go out much during the summer vacation. Isn't your girlfriend angry?"
Tao Luanxi had a mouthful of porridge stuck in his throat and coughed for a long time. The silly girl who was eating next to him kept looking up at him.
"What girlfriend? What nonsense!" Tao Luanxi said unhappily, "Exam results are my girlfriend. No one can replace her."
Mr. Tao smiled and said, "Okay, okay, if you don't have it, then don't have it. Eat it quickly, and we'll have another one after you finish eating."
Tao Luanxi was very excited all the way to school. When they were almost there, Tao Luanxi reminded them, "Stop at the back door. I have something to do."
There weren't many people going to school at the back door of the school at this time. Tao Luanxi got off the car, looked around, then looked down at the time. It was most likely that Qiu Yi hadn't left the house yet.
After saying goodbye to Mr. Tao, Tao Luanxi slowly moved towards the door. When she saw Mr. Tao's car driving away from the corner of her eye, Tao Luanxi immediately turned around and trotted towards Wenxinyuan.
Tao Luanxi still remembered the location of Qiu Yi's house. As soon as he entered the door, he was about to turn left, but he was suddenly grabbed by the back of the collar and a voice with a smile said: "Where are you running to? Don't you even look at the road?"
Even after half a summer vacation, the voice was still as deep and a little lazy as before, which was familiar to Tao Luanxi.
If it weren't for the students and parents who often passed by, Tao Luanxi really wanted to hug Qiu Yi, she missed him so much!
Tao Luanxi resisted the urge to jump on Qiu Yi, and instead grabbed Qiu Yi by the collar, looking at him with bright eyes, expressing clearly with his eyes what he wanted to say. He knew that Qiu Yi would understand.
"I missed you so much!" Qiu Yi hugged him, gently touched his forehead, and said in a very gentle voice: "It's great to see you."
Tao Luanxi thought so too.
This really wasn't the place for intimacy, so the two of them were intimate for just a dozen seconds before they separated. Tao Luanxi was a little reluctant, so she reached out and grabbed the strap of Qiu Yi's schoolbag. The two of them couldn't hold hands, so holding this wouldn't be too conspicuous.
"Have you finished your homework?"
"No, I haven't touched it since I got it back. I'm going to copy yours later. I won't hand it in if I don't have time for Chinese."
"Why didn't you tell me to write it for you?"
Qiu Yi turned around and gave Tao Luanxi a meaningful smile: "Are you so proactive in wanting to help your boyfriend with his homework?"
Tao Luanxi pulled Qiu Yi's backpack strap hard, and the strap tightened instantly, hitting Qiu Yi's shoulder with a snap.
Qiu Yi didn't take it seriously and didn't adjust his clothes, letting the bag strap be tied around his shoulders.
"Forget about the homework. It's tiring and boring and I can't bear to let you do it. You might as well help me do something else with your energy."
Qiu Yi turned his head, stretched out his long hand and gently brushed off the fallen leaves on Tao Luanxi's shoulders. He bent over and whispered in Tao Luanxi's ear: "Didn't you say that Xiao Xixi missed me? I miss it too."
