poplar eyes

Chapter 111 Small Garden

After leaving the small cafeteria, Chen Haoran did not continue to follow Tang Xiaoya and her father.

He was a little lost, and went to the bamboo forest path alone.

The bamboo in this season is no longer so emerald green, and the color is slightly darker, losing its luster in summer.

The north wind was blowing violently, and the entire bamboo forest was shaking.Can Xue was blown up, flying everywhere, and it was very cold on the face.

Chen Haoran pulled a leaf and put it in his mouth, recalling the little things with Tang Xiaoya.

He firmly believed that Tang Xiaoya liked him, but he was ashamed to express it, but what happened just now made him lose his confidence, and he felt extremely conflicted.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Tang Xiaoya's voice startled Chen Haoran.

I saw her passing by at high speed on a bicycle, and laughter followed.

Chen Haoran spat out the leaves, hurriedly got into the car to chase, and only took a short while to block Tang Xiaoya in the middle of the road.

The two looked at each other and smiled silly.

"Xiaoya, what are you laughing at?"

"Then what are you laughing at?"

"Seeing you smile makes me laugh."

Tang Xiaoya bit her lip, glanced at Chen Haoran, and then took out a bulging bag from her backpack.

"This is for you, take it."

"what?"

"See for yourself."

Chen Haoran opened the bag impatiently.

It turned out that it contained beef jerky, boneless chicken feet, and small snacks such as duck necks, miscellaneous, everything.

He took a piece of beef jerky, tore open the package, and shared half with Tang Xiaoya.

The bad mood just now dissipated like this.

The two of them pushed the cart and walked along the bamboo forest path while eating and chatting with each other.

"Xiaoya, your father..."

"I've already gone back, and I have to go to work tomorrow."

"Oh, so! Did you say anything?"

"Of course I did, let me...let me...not tell you, who told you to sneak past, hahaha."

Chen Haoran got the answer from Tang Xiaoya's laughter, so he stopped asking.

In fact, there is a tacit understanding between them.

For example, Tang Xiaoya knew that Chen Haoran would definitely sneak to the small cafeteria; she even knew that as long as she came to the bamboo forest path, she could find him who was depressed.

Tang Xiaoya also knew that the stir-fried noodles on the tray were not finished, and the seaweed soup was not eaten in one mouthful.

Like Chen Haoran, she was apprehensive and nervous during the whole process.

The night is dark, and the high-speed train is driving fast...

Tang Guodong drank the tea his daughter bought, feeling warm in his heart.

Although the tea is not considered high-quality, the taste is slightly worse.

He came to X City this time because of his wife Li Lifen's intention.She missed Tang Xiaoya very much, but because of her motion sickness, she had to let her husband go for a trip in the severe cold.

The carriage was very quiet, and as more and more people were eating, the aroma of instant noodles also wafted into their nostrils.

Tang Guodong took out the sandwich his daughter had prepared for him from his bag, and tasted it carefully, his eyes filled with relief.

He didn't eat a few mouthfuls of dinner, he was really hungry.

Not long after, his wife Li Lifen called.

"Are you in the car?"

"Well, the car has already started."

"Okay, okay, then I'll make dumplings for you in two hours."

"No, I already ate it at school."

"That's fine, we'll talk about it when we get home, hang up."

After putting down his phone, Tang Guodong continued to eat his sandwich and drink his tea.

It is often said that a daughter is the little padded jacket of the parents.

In fact, Tang Xiaoya is quite filial and caring.She knew that her father was too busy picking up vegetables for herself, picking peppers, and was not full at all.

She was worried that her father would be hungry on the way, so she found a reason to spend the whole money, bought sandwiches and tea eggs, and forced them into the bag for her father.

This is the concern for my father, and it is even more reluctant.

After all, there is still more than a month before the winter vacation, and I won't be able to go back for a while.

She is like this, she understands it in her heart, but she is not very good at expressing it in words.

School of Foreign Languages, small garden gazebo.

Wang Duoduo and Wu Haibo sat facing each other, one eating fried skewers and the other peeling oranges.

Eye to eye, very ambiguous.

After Tang Xiaoya and Chen Haoran returned to the School of Foreign Languages, they just stored their bicycles in the garage and planned to go for a walk before going back to the dormitory.

I happened to pass by and saw this scene, so I quickly hid and started eavesdropping.

"It's quite cold today, you... what..."

"It's ready."

"There is no class tomorrow, do you want...to go there?"

"Hmm... good!"

"Is it enough, do you need to buy some more?"

"Maybe not enough, let's go now."

"walk."

Both Wu Haibo and Wang Duoduo have naturally loud voices, and their conversations can be heard clearly even if they are several meters away.

It's a pity that Tang Xiaoya doesn't have a high EQ.

Although she heard all the content of the chat, she was still confused and didn't understand why.

Chen Haoran has no interest in eavesdropping.

His thoughts were all on Tang Xiaoya, gesticulating the length of the braids for a while, sniffing the scent of Tang Xiaoya's down jacket for a while, without stopping for a moment.

"What a mess, I didn't understand a sentence, like a code."

Tang Xiaoya frowned, feeling extremely depressed.

"Xiaoya, have you... changed the laundry detergent?"

"Well, that's right. Li Jing said that my original one didn't taste good, so she changed it for me. How do you know?"

"Let's use the original one, this one is too fragrant."

"Well, I think so too."

Gradually, calm returned to the small garden.

Chen Haoran took Tang Xiaoya's hand and walked slowly along the winding path.

He was very confused and always hesitated to speak.

Unknowingly turning around, the two returned to the small garden pavilion.

Chen Haoran stopped and cleared his throat.

"Xiaoya, can I...can I hug you?"

When Tang Xiaoya heard this, she quickly freed her hand from Chen Haoran's coat pocket.

Her little face was flushed red, her eyes were wide open, and her head was shaking vigorously, like a drum.

Chen Haoran had expected such a reaction a long time ago.

He knew Tang Xiaoya very well, and he knew that haste makes waste, so he asked tentatively in advance so that everyone could be mentally prepared.

"Just give me a hug, okay?"

Seeing Chen Haoran's smiling face, Tang Xiaoya took a step back, and said timidly, "But my mother said that a girl can't be hugged casually, unless...it's her husband, otherwise it won't affect her."

Tang Xiaoya's words amused Chen Haoran, and hearty laughter followed immediately.

"What else did Auntie say?"

"It's said that you can only drink drinks at parties, you can't drink alcohol, and you can't go on a trip with your classmates secretly. If you are playing locally, you have to go back to the dormitory on time no matter how late, you have to make a phone call once a week, and there is..."

"Okay, okay, stop, I got it."

"Just be content with it. In fact, you can't hold hands. If you are found out, you have to scold me to death."

"Well, then stop talking."

It was a cold night and the little garden was very still.

The leaves of the poplar trees had already fallen, and under the illumination of the street lamps, they appeared taller.

Chen Haoran took Tang Xiaoya's cold hand, put it to his mouth, took a few breaths of hot air, then rubbed it lightly, and put it in his jacket pocket to warm it up.

He knew that Tang Xiaoya had her own in her heart, since she did, then wait a little longer.

"Xiaoya, don't ask Wang Duoduo when you go back."

"Don't ask what?"

"What you overheard in the small garden just now, don't ask when you get back, just pretend you don't know anything."

"Oh, well, but why?"

"Listen to me, that's right, just remember."

"Oh, I know."

The two chatted like this, walked, and walked towards the small courtyard of the dormitory step by step.

It's just walking slowly and lightly.
