cast a peach

Zhao Guangshui was lying on the sofa reading a book with his head propped up.

What she was reading was the books on Tan Mingli's bookshelf. Tan Mingli used to draw circles casually when reading, and when he had thoughts and opinions, he would write them on the headers and footers.

Zhao Guangshui specifically picked up the notes written by Tan Mingli.When she saw the short sentences written by the woman in the book, she felt as if she followed Sister Li's thoughts and shuttled between the pages of the book.She likes this feeling.

This made her feel as if she was getting closer to Sister Li.

This is the "Book of Songs" published by Zhonghua Book Company, and Zhao Guangshui found "Papaya" at random.

"Throw me a papaya, and repay it with Qiongju. The bandit repays it, and it will always be good."

Vote for me with Mu Tao, and repay it with Qiong Yao.Bandit newspapers are also always considered good.

Vote for me with wood and plum, and return it with Qiong Jiu.It is always good to report to the bandits. "

Ah... this is it.

Zhao Guangshui read out softly: "Throw me a wooden peach..."

Throw a peach and return it with a plum evolved from here.

Zhao Guangshui learned the Four Books and Five Classics from her grandfather when she was a child, but she was too young at that time, and she didn't really understand the meaning of many contents, and she just memorized them wholeheartedly and memorized them in her head.

Now I suddenly re-read it from Sister Li, and she is still quite curious, and can't help being slightly distracted.

Zhao Guangshui lightly stroked the row of typefaces, stopped on "Forever Thinking Good", and stared silently for a long time.

Forever.

What a wish.

After so many years, she seemed to understand the sincere and warm feelings behind these lines of poems.

She wants to be friends with Sister Li forever, is that okay?

Probably not.

Zhao Guangshui quickly came to his senses and sighed with his chin propped up.

But staying with Sister Li for a little longer, longer, sounds more realistic, not impossible... Zhao Guangshui thought seriously.

Tan Mingli seems to be used to writing down the date and weather of the book purchase on the title page of each book, and also records a few recent developments at that time.

This book also has it, and on the title page it says:

On March [-], [-], it was sunny and sunny.Recently, I am still learning Chinese, and I don't understand ancient Chinese very well, which makes me very distressed.

Another: Grandpa gave me a copybook, asking me to meditate. Unfortunately, I am not good at calligraphy, and the more I practice, the more annoying I become, and I get into a mess.

There is also a line of small characters below, which seems to have been added later, and the writing is a bit more scribbled than the words above, making people feel the deep unhappiness contained in it through the handwriting:

Can't read ancient Chinese!angry.I don't want to read ancient Chinese anymore.

Seeing this childish statement, Zhao Guangshui frowned and couldn't help secretly laughing.

Miss Pear is so cute.

She caressed the line of characters lightly, imagining how Tan Mingli would sigh because of the ancient prose when she was a girl, and how she finally wrote this line of words in annoyance, announcing that she would never read ancient prose again, feeling soft in her heart, like The grass is as soft and warm as spring.

After calculating the date, Sister Li should be... um, 16 years old at that time?Still very young, younger than she is now.

I feel that Sister Pear is cute even at a younger age.It would have been nice if she had known Sister Li back then.

Zhao Guangshui fantasized about how the girlish version of Sister Li would call herself Sister, and couldn't help but smirk, hugging the pillow excitedly to ease his pounding heart.

Immersed in the fantasies of some youthful campus love dramas in my mind for a while, such as talking about school girls, love at first sight, holding hands shyly and nervously, clumsily hugging and kissing... Wait, etc., Zhao Guangshui finally realized what , using his hands to fan his hot cheeks to physically cool down, and force himself to come back to his senses.

Hmm... always feel...

When Sister Li was young, she seemed to be different from what she is now.

How should I put it, although I can still feel that I am the same person, but my temperament and behavior seem to have changed a lot.

To be more specific, before, Sister Li was high-spirited, lively, and her emotions were more exposed; now, Sister Li is much quieter. Although she is smiling, she is not genuinely happy, and what she is thinking in her heart is like a mist. It's as unclear as looking at flowers.

Although from her point of view, no matter what Sister Pear looks like, she likes it very much, but she always feels that Sister Pear like before seems cuter and happier...

Zhao Guangshui closed the book and hugged it to his chest, thinking wildly by himself.

What exactly did Sister Li go through to transform from that radiant young girl into the gentle, dignified, calm and appropriate mature woman she is now?

She put her face on her face and thought seriously.

Ah, I can't figure it out.

His head ached from thinking about it but he couldn't come to a convincing conclusion. Zhao Guangshui rubbed his hair and lay down on the sofa in a daze.

Perhaps people sometimes change a lot as they grow up, right?

However, it doesn't feel very appropriate to use this phrase of panacea to explain Sister Li...

Maybe because of some very special experiences?Zhao Guangshui guessed.

But she actually doesn't know about Sister Li's previous life. Sister Li's past is a mystery to her, and the Tan family is only a vague impression to her. She has always respected people and won't inquire unless others take the initiative to talk about it. Inquire, even if you are curious, you will endure it.

so annoying!

Zhao Guangshui groaned, turned over, covered his face with the doll, only showing a pair of dark eyes looking at the ceiling.

If only she could act like a normal girl at this age, she is so soft-hearted and kind, even if faced with some abrupt questions from her, she would probably just smile softly and helplessly, lower her eyes, and say, "Those There is nothing to talk about," and then she still couldn't bear the pleading eyes of her expectant eyes, and indulged in telling her the past that she wanted to know in a gentle voice.

Immediately afterwards, she thought in despair: this is what Sister Li would do before, probably now, Sister Li will not treat her like this.

The last time I was gently touched by Sister Li was last Friday night. To comfort and encourage myself, Sister Li gently stroked her in the car on the side of the road.

Judging from her level of confusion at the time, Zhao Guangshui suspected that if she was a puppy, her tail would have wagged out afterimages.

She covered her hot face half ashamed and half annoyed, the shame was because she recalled the scene at that time, and the annoyance was to herself——

She is so worthless.

Is it because no matter what happens, when she meets Sister Li, she tends to get dizzy and has no bottom line?

Zhao Guangshui sighed, thinking, I'm afraid it is.

There was no more physical contact after that.

It's not so much physical contact as it is -- barely any contact.Sister Li seems to be busier at work this week, plus she has to prepare for today's snow feast, except that she can see Sister Li for a short time in the morning, have breakfast with her, and then obediently send her out to work, she even There are very few people who can see Sister Pear.

Even the short time together every morning seems to be stolen, which is especially cherished and nostalgic.

In the evening, because Tan Mingli sometimes has social gatherings, the time of her return is uncertain, so Tan Mingli asked the girl not to wait for her, and just go to bed early.

Zhao Guangshui agreed, but he would still wait quietly in the room, reading with a small night light while paying attention to the movement outside the door. When the door opened, it meant that Sister Li was back, and she would hastily turn off the light, and then Glancing at the phone, write down the time when Sister Li comes back tonight, so as to judge whether she comes back early or late.

Tan Mingli's movements were very light, and the room was well soundproofed. Sometimes she pricked up her ears and listened carefully, trying to figure out what Sister Li was doing now from the sound of footsteps outside, but she couldn't hear anything.It's just that once the door of her room was not closed properly, Sister Li gently covered the door for her, after that there was no sound from outside the door for a long time, Zhao Guangshui didn't know whether the woman left or not.

She probably left, but she didn't hear her.After all, Sister Li must have worked hard all day. She must be very tired. She just wants to rest. What are you doing standing at her door in a daze?

Ugh.

Zhao Guangshui buried half of his face in the fluffy doll in frustration.

What's the use of thinking about it all day?Sister Li should not like herself or not.

By the way, what is sister Li doing now?I don't know if the banquet will be interesting. When will she come back?

I hope my sister will not drink too much tonight.

Zhao Guangshui thought silently.

Sister Li's stomach is not very good. Although she can drink well, she will feel uncomfortable if she drinks too much.

"Don't drink too much."

Tan Mingqing stood beside Tan Mingli, without looking at her at all, and whispered under the cover of the piled wine glasses.

Tan Mingli looked at her cautiously like an FBI connector, couldn't help laughing, and replied in the same voice:

"Ok."

She smiled softly again: "Actually, I didn't drink much...it just looked too much. And I can drink too much."

"..."

Tan Mingqing was so choked by her that she couldn't speak, and glared at her angrily: "Be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs!"

"I'm leaving!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and left, her high heels slammed loudly, for fear that others would not know that she was angry with Tan Mingli again.

She could see that the gentle, dignified, talkative and temperless Tan's parents and daughters were all fake, obviously Tan Mingli was a hard-hearted, black-hearted thousand-year-old fox!Every day without smiling and choking, she felt uncomfortable after saying a word or two.

In other words, she has been targeting Tan Mingli secretly in the past few years, but she has not received any feedback. It is definitely not because Tan Mingli is a weak and incompetent fool as she thought back then. Children lose their temper and are too lazy to vent their anger on themselves.

...the thought of it just made it even more irritating.

Tan Mingqing was annoyed when suddenly her phone vibrated, she picked it up and looked, it was her dear cousin Tan Mingli:

[Baidu Knows] What harm does anger do to the body?There are mainly the following types: [-]. When angry, it will cause shortness of breath in the human body...

Depend on!

Tan Mingqing was so angry that she gave Tan Mingli a hard look.

Just post it, even the symbols pasted from Baidu Encyclopedia are not deleted!Did she mean it!

Tan Mingli received the eye knife from Tan Mingqing, and ignored it without blushing and heartbeat. Instead, he toasted her with a smile. Tan Mingqing was so angry that the top of his head was about to smoke. How could he pick her up? He was a foot long, turned around and left with a stinky face.

Ah, I was pissed off.

Tan Mingli had just been washed away by Xiao Shui's sadness and boredom, and didn't care about her temper, just let her go, shook her head with a smile, lowered her eyebrows and calmly finished her glass of wine.

But when this scene fell into the eyes of everyone, it was not the case. It was like a silent and secret contest between the new prince and the old vassal. Tan Mingli toasted to show his favor, while Tan Mingqing didn't give her sister any face, turned around and left with a cold face. .

Fortunately, Tan Mingli was very well-bred, and even when he was humiliated in public, his expression did not change. He remained calm and finished drinking by himself.

It seems that Tan's parents and daughters really are not in vain, and everyone secretly nodded in their hearts, deeply convinced.

Tan Mingli naturally took in the different expressions of everyone, but smiled lightly, not paying much attention to it.

Mingqing hit the right way, which was exactly what she wanted.Now the fact that Tan's two daughters were not in harmony was brought to the table from the rumors, and it became a reality in people's hearts.

She raised her eyes slightly and looked towards the second floor.

There, Second Uncle Tan was chatting and laughing with the people, and seemed to know nothing about everything in the hall, but Tan Mingli knew that more than half of his thoughts were on himself. Everything was reported to him as it was.

Tan Mingli smiled, and stopped looking at him, but tapped the wine glass lightly, staring at the bright red and clear liquid in the glass.

Jiang Taigong was fishing, and those who wished would take the bait.I just don't know when she has been baiting for nearly a month, when will there be real fish to bite?

It seemed that he was going to be more patient with her.

But the second uncle seems to have forgotten one thing, what Tan Mingli lacks most is patience and self-control.She was able to marry at the expense of self-destructiveness to get rid of the Tan family back then, and of course she can wait for a long time to catch a big fish now, enduring his constant hesitation, wandering and temptation.

—and then close without hesitation when the fish finally took the bait, ending a confrontation that should have ended a decade ago.

Probably the most unbearable thing in this half of her life is her love for Xiao Shui...

Tan Mingli thought about this, propped his forehead, and smiled wryly.

Other than that, she has no weaknesses.
