Previous | Table of Contents | Next

After a night of calming down, Tao Mingzhuo was actually not that sad anymore.

Although every sentence he said was full of anger, such as "I'm still angry" and "Since you don't like me that much, then I don't like you anymore", as long as you think about the content of these sentences carefully, you will understand. You will find that these sour words actually come from his concern for Jing Ci.

When Tao Mingzhuo went to Tao Xue's house to get kitchen utensils this morning, Tao Xue himself went back with him.

On the way, Tao Xue thought of something and said to him: "By the way, you still have to say thank you to Jing Ci for me." Only then

did Tao Mingzhuo know that Jing Ci had hired a lawyer for Tao Xue a few days ago. , from a well-known law firm in this city, with very deep qualifications, and the consulting fee alone is expensive.

Their parents still felt that Tao Xue was angry and her decision was too hasty, so they advised her to wait and think about divorce, but Tao Xue no longer cared about their thoughts.

"My life is for me, not for my parents, so I still have to leave." Tao Xue said, "My own comfort is the most important thing in this life."

Tao Mingzhuo: "I understand the truth. But is this the reason why your parenting guides are gathering dust and you read these romance comics every day?"

Tao Xue coughed: "It is indeed a comic, but it is not a romance comic... By the way, I brought it to Sister Li's house. I've just finished reading those books. Please give me a hand and help me move two more piles over."

Tao Mingzhuo: "..."

Tao Mingzhuo flipped through a few books and found them unsightly. He felt that there would be a certain time in the future. If Tao Xue and Yang Kening could meet, they would definitely have a lot to talk about.

Tao Mingzhuo was still a little sour in his heart. After coming out of Tao Xue's house, he finally calmed down and could think rationally about his relationship with Jing Ci.

He knew that Jing Ci cared about him.

There are indeed many people who can devote themselves to their lovers in love, but there are very few people who can love each other and be so thoughtful about the other person's family.

If Jing Ci didn't care about himself and just wanted to eat with him, then a while ago, there was no need for him to hide his condition from himself after being hungry for so long, just so that he could concentrate on Tao Xue. thing.

It's one thing to know that Jing Ci cares about him, but Tao Mingzhuo is an insecure person. He still wants to ask him directly, "Do you care about me?", and also wants to ask him, "Do you have any feelings for me?" How much do you like me?" He just wanted to hear Jing Ci admit that he cared about him.

In fact, Tao Mingzhuo now feels more ashamed.

Because in his eyes, misunderstanding that someone else has a crush on him... is really too shameful and shameful.

So Tao Mingzhuo decided to act aloof for a few days. Even though he knew that Jing Ci actually cared about him, he wanted to see how much Jing Ci cared about him.

Tao Mingzhuo brought back a bunch of kitchen utensils from Tao Xue. Most of the machines were useless and their functions were complex and difficult to understand. Tao Mingzhuo was still figuring it out.

Only the small oven seemed easier to operate, and Tao Mingzhuo also bought a bag of ready-made egg tart crusts when he was buying vegetables in the supermarket, so he planned to bake a few egg tarts in the small oven for breakfast.

However, the power of the small oven was very subtle. After baking for a long time, the egg tart barely turned golden. When Tao Mingzhuo cut it open, he found that the inside was still sticky and moist, and looked half-cooked

. Tao Mingzhuo said: "...Bake it for a while longer." "

Jing Ci said, "Okay."

When they opened the oven again, Tao Mingzhuo and Jing Ci both fell into silence.

Of the ten egg tarts, seven were a little burnt on the edges, one was baked like a volcanic eruption and exploded, and two were as black as charcoal, making it difficult to eat.

Jing Ci hesitated and said: "It smells very fragrant."

Tao Mingzhuo: "...it smells like a fire scene."

Tao Mingzhuo was quiet for a while and suddenly asked: "How do you usually watch me eat... before I can eat it?" Go down?"

Jing Ci was startled and looked into his eyes: "As long as you sit in front of me and eat normally,"

Tao Mingzhuo asked, "As long as you watch me eat, you can eat anything. , or can you only eat the dish I'm eating?"

Jing Ci: "Theoretically, it's the first case, but generally I will choose the same dish as you. The effect will be better."

Tao Mingzhuo was silent for a moment and nodded.

He suddenly remembered that the day the two of them talked for the first time in the cafeteria, he had eaten a large plate of tom yum shrimps, and when Jing Ci came to him with the dinner plate, there happened to be only tom yum shrimps on his plate. was eaten.

Tao Mingzhuo breathed out and said, "Let's eat."

A few egg tarts and two glasses of milk were definitely not enough for a breakfast. Tao Mingzhuo cooked two more bowls of quick-frozen wontons. The two sat face to face at the dining table and started. Eat in peace.

Tao Mingzhuo was a little absent-minded. At first, he inhaled at the same speed as before. Halfway through eating, he suddenly remembered that the situation was different now, and the food in his throat immediately choked.

He glanced at Jing Ci who was sitting opposite him, hesitantly put down the egg tart in his hand, decided to have a more balanced nutritional intake, and ate the wontons in front of him instead.

She was also afraid that she was eating too fast and Jing Ci could not keep up with her, so she silently slowed down her chewing speed, chewing a mouthful of rice ten times before swallowing it hesitantly.

While he was lost in thought, he heard Jing Ci call out his name,

"Tao Mingzhuo." Jing Ci said, "I'm sorry."

He said, "I thought that concealing it could solve the current problems, but I neglected to do so. It will also hurt your feelings."

Tao Mingzhuo said nothing.

Jing Ci said gently: "I know you may not have heard it yesterday, so I want to tell you again. Eating is indeed an opportunity to get closer to you, but it is not the reason why I like you."

"I like you, yes. Because you are special and warm, which is a feeling that no one else has given me." He said, "Even if the person who ate deliciously in the cafeteria was not you, I believe that as long as we can meet one day in the future, I will still be the same. The whole world will be attracted to you."

"No matter whether I am sick or not, no matter whether my illness will be cured or not," he said, "I will still like you."

Tao Mingzhuo's hand shook slightly.

Then Jing Ci saw him suddenly lower his head, picked up the remaining egg tart on the plate, and swallowed it directly into his mouth.

Jing Ci looked at his bulging profile quietly: "Can you forgive me?"

After a while, he heard Tao Mingzhuo say in a hoarse voice: "You have never done anything wrong, so between us... …There is no such thing as unforgiveness.”

This sentence is sincere.

In fact, Tao Mingzhuo was no longer angry for a long time, but he finally heard Jing Ci say these nice and heart-wrenching words. For a moment, he was so happy that his tail was about to go up to the sky, and he just wanted to greedily listen to more.

Then the words on his lips took a sour turn: "Actually, I've always been self-indulgent, and emotionally... I'm relatively insecure."

"So I want to be alone for these two days and think about our relationship by myself, okay?" he asked.

Tao Mingzhuo actually enjoyed being retained by Jing Ci and feeling needed by him.

What he meant was "Actually, I'm not angry anymore. If you praise me more and let me feel your love more, I'll forgive you!".

If it were Jing Ci from before, maybe you could hear the hidden meaning in his words.

But since last night, Jing Ci has been feeling uneasy. Looking at Tao Mingzhuo's expression, he thought that Tao Mingzhuo was still angry with him, so what he heard in Jing Ci's ears was, "I'm still angry, and I don't want to listen to you. Can you please stop disturbing me?" " means.

Jing Ci felt that no matter how he explained it, Tao Mingzhuo couldn't seem to understand it.

He thought Tao Mingzhuo was eager for some personal space and some time to calm down alone, so he hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Okay, except for meal time, I won't disturb you for a while.

Tao Mingzhuo: "...?" Tao

Mingzhuo suddenly realized that he might have performed too hard just now.

His mouth opened slightly, anxious to say something immediately, but he realized that those words were just spoken by him, and he couldn't bear to explain for a while.

He originally thought that after he said such words, Jing Ci would be at a loss and would continue to say some sweet words to comfort him. Maybe he would take the initiative to kiss and hug him, and then he would keep pushing and pulling, and he would say it in two days. Maybe it can develop to a depth that the two of them have never reached before...

Tao Mingzhuo felt like he was sweating.

He didn't expect that the first time he played hard to get, he got away with it. Jing Ci didn't take the initiative to get close to him to comfort him. He even thought about avoiding him for a while in the future.

He began to think crazily about how he could not only show that he didn't care, but also prevent Jing Ci from "disturbing" him for a while.

Recalling the few comics he had glimpsed at Tao Xue's house today, he raised his head and suddenly had an idea.

Tao Mingzhuo coughed loudly: "...but it suddenly occurred to me that you need to look at me to eat, so you need me more now, far more than I need you, right?"

Jing Ci looked at him and nodded after a moment: "Yes."

Tao Mingzhuo said "hmm" and said, "But why should I show it to you in vain?"

Jing Ci: "...?"

"Neither did you. I asked if I would like to be seen by you, and if I show it to you... what benefits would I gain?" Tao Mingzhuo asked.

Jing Ci didn't expect Tao Mingzhuo to ask questions from such a tricky angle, and he was startled.

Tao Mingzhuo cleared his throat: "So..."

Jing Ci stared at his face blankly.

"So from today on, if you want me to eat with you..."

Tao Mingzhuo paused subtly for a moment, then raised his head and said stumblingly: "Just... just use your own body to eat with me. The exchange is ready!”
