Zhutian: Since I was a child, I have been happy to be a father

Monday morning.

Chen Tao clearly felt that Lixia was not paying attention and was absent-minded. In just one class, he looked at Cheng Qiqi and Xiao Si many times, intentionally or unintentionally.

A steady drizzle.

There was no need to do exercises during the break, and the math teacher didn't delay the class. After he left, Lixia lay on the table, covering her face, looking autistic.

Chen Tao stretched out a yang finger and poked Lixia on the back, but the other party twisted around like a loach and didn't want to talk.

Chen Tao did not continue poking, but fell into thinking and observation.

The objects of observation are naturally Cheng Qiqi and Xiao Si, who are the most suspicious.

Generally speaking, Chen Tao couldn't see through Xiao Si's foggy eyes, but it was easy to grasp the facial details of Cheng Qiqi.

After looking at each other for ten seconds, Cheng Qiqi smiled reservedly.

Chen Tao glanced at Xiao Si, then looked back at her.

She looked shy and nodded slightly.

Everything is silent.

But Chen Tao still sent a text message to Cheng Qiqi to confirm: [Are you and Xiao Si already dating? ]

It was a very simple question, but Cheng Qiqi found it difficult to answer. In short, having done it does not equal dating.

A week has passed and she has not talked to Xiao Si about their relationship, and Xiao Si has also avoided talking about it.

To normal people, Xiao Si just doesn't want to admit his mistake. But Cheng Qiqi is a character in a youth novel, not an ordinary person, and his thinking is a little different.

She also has a filter for Xiao Si, and thinks that she is taking advantage of Xiao Si's misfortune. She shouldn't use this kind of thing to force him to date her, but should only use it as an opportunity to get closer to him.

Therefore, the current embarrassing situation has been created.

The corridor west of the toilet.

Chen Tao looked at Cheng Qiqi a few times, which made her feel frightened, and then pretended to be surprised:
"You and Xiao Si have done it, right?"

Cheng Qiqi was stunned for a moment, then hummed: "I actually know that the person he likes is Lixia, and I also know that he feels uncomfortable because Lixia is close to you. But I just like him. On the night of the 14th, I drank a lot with him, and then I didn't go home."

The fourteenth was the Sunday when Xiao Si lost to Qi Ming, and it was also the day when Chen Tao took the opportunity to celebrate the beginning of summer.

It seems to be Mother's Day...

Chen Tao subconsciously looked at Cheng Qiqi's belly and asked with concern: "Did Xiao Si use that?"

Cheng Qiqi said awkwardly: "Is it necessary to ask so much in detail? Have you ever done it with Lixia?"

"No."

Chen Tao suppressed his laughter and said, "I already have a girlfriend, how can I mess around with Lixia? Even if I want to, she won't agree."

"I don't believe it. I think Lixia likes you too, and you are obviously not a quiet boy. As long as you want, she can't escape from your palm."

"As long as I am willing... Haha, I understand. Do you want me to continue to pester Lixia to prevent her from affecting your relationship with Xiao Si in the future?"

"..."

Cheng Qiqi nodded in agreement.

Chen Tao sighed softly, "You don't have to worry about Lixia. In her heart, Xiao Si has always been very clean, but now? He actually did it with you so easily. His actions have ruined his image in Lixia's heart. He is not worthy of Lixia's love."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Qiqi's face showed ecstasy.

Chen Tao poured cold water on her again: "This also proves what I said about Lixia that Xiao Si is a scumbag who doesn't take the initiative, doesn't refuse, and doesn't take responsibility. Don't be so happy. If Li Yanran gave it to him for free, he would have taken it. Can you have the last laugh? I don't think so."

Cheng Qiqi said unhappily: "You have a prejudice against Xiao Si, he is definitely not that kind of person."

Chen Tao laughed and said, "I'm just reminding you. It's up to you whether you believe it or not."

After saying that, he turned around and went downstairs to buy some fried chicken for Yi.

By the way, how do you pronounce chicken chop in Shanghai dialect?
After the third class, Lixia finally returned to normal. She turned around and wanted to talk to Brother Tao in private.

Facing the puzzled look on the face of his female classmate, Chen Tao said, "I've already looked for Qiqi."

When Lixia heard this, she couldn't help but look at Qiqi.

The latter nodded in greeting.

She looked at Xiao Si again.

Xiao Si did not avoid it. And those unfocused eyes were still filled with the thick fog that never dissipated all year round, probably much thicker than the fog in Silent Hill!
Seeing this, Lixia no longer felt that he was clean as before, and could only think of the scene of him sleeping with Qiqi.

Lixia admitted that she was also at fault for being succeeded by Brother Tao that night.

But compared with Xiao Si and Qi Qi who got together that night, she was so pure that she was not stained by the mud and was clear and pure without being coquettish.

Why?

Why is Xiao Si really the "three no's" scumbag that Brother Tao said? Why does he, who looks so clean, actually accept everyone who comes to him?
If Cheng Qiqi can succeed, Li Yanran can definitely succeed, and of course other girls who like him can succeed too!

Anyone can be a wife.

What a contrast!

Lixia really couldn't accept Xiaosi's image, so she quickly looked away and started chatting with Brother Tao, who was obviously a scumbag but seemed clean and cute, and never paid any attention to Xiaosi again.

In the evening, before evening self-study.

Outside the music classroom, the rain was falling lightly.

Lixia sat next to Brother Tao and listened to him playing the piano.

As I listened to it, it felt like I was listening to a song on NetEase Cloud Music. Tears started to flow and I couldn't stop crying. My shoulders were twitching, and I looked extremely sad.

But Brother Tao remained indifferent. After the song ended, he pretended to be helpless and said:
"Am I right? It's not good to listen to such sad music on a rainy day. I won't play it for you anymore."

Lixia wiped her tears and hummed:
"Since you promised me, you must keep your word. I want to listen!"

Chen Tao didn't say anything, but just looked at her with gentle eyes.

She was confused at first, but then she realized something, her face turned red and her eyes avoided.

Chen Tao lowered his head.

Only two lights were on, so the room was not bright and the atmosphere was hazy.

You can neither avoid the beginning of summer nor do you want to avoid it.

Just close your eyes.

As for Brother Tao, he already has a girlfriend...

Sorry, Lixia doesn’t have time to think about these things right now. She just wants to sink into Brother Tao’s arms and never wake up again.

Even though she was wearing a skirt and Brother Tao's hands were restless, she didn't care.

It was not until a little wild cat hiding from the rain suddenly jumped onto the windowsill and meowed at her several times in an unromantic manner that she came to her senses. Like a kitten caught stealing food, she hurriedly let go of the arms that were holding Chen Tao, and patted him lightly a few times to make him let go as well.

Chen Tao did not refuse.

Lixia walked aside, tidying up her clothes, panting softly:
"Forget it this time, but never do this again!"

Chen Tao smiled and nodded.

Lixia blushed again and said angrily: "Don't laugh like that!"

Chen Tao laughed and argued: "I only laugh like this when I'm happiest. If there's nothing that makes me so happy, then even if I want to laugh, I won't be able to."

"If you can't laugh, forget it! Anyway, I will never be fooled by you again."

After saying that, Lixia moved to sit next to Chen Tao again, and urged him with a smile: "Don't just stare at him, keep playing!"

"Still listening to sad things?"

"No, be cheerful!" "It seems that comforting like that is quite effective!"

"Scumbag!"

Twelve o'clock at night.

Chen Tao, who switched from good boyfriend mode to sage mode, shared with Yi Yao the fascinating story of how Cheng Qiqi violated martial ethics and took advantage of Xiao Si's opportunity.

Yi Yao snorted, "Are you envious of Xiao Si? Envious of the fact that he has a beautiful girl throwing herself at him?"

Chen Tao joked, "Hearing you say that, it seems like I really don't have any pretty girls throwing themselves at me. I have to work hard in the future and not lose to Xiao Si."

"No effort!"

Yi Yao took a bite and said, "I'm not paying for you. You waited for me every day with flowers in your hands after school, and even fought for me. You pursued me hard!"

This is a fact.

Chen Tao held her in his arms and said with a smile:

"I kind of regret it. I should have stayed single. Then I would have a garden full of flowers waiting for me to pick. Now? I can only keep you!"

"Humph, isn't it too late to regret now? You have to know that there is no regret medicine in this world!"

"But there is medicine to avoid bad luck. I have a vague feeling that Cheng Qiqi might be pregnant with Xiao Si's child."

"Ah, this, this..."

Yi Yao became more energetic, and all the tiredness in her body was swept away. She analyzed:

"That night, she and Xiao Si just acted on impulse, so it's normal that they were not well prepared. But didn't she take any precautions afterwards? Even if she didn't, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, right?"

"There's no coincidence in the world! Besides, since she's so proactive, doesn't it mean that she might be in a period of disorder?"

"That makes sense! Haha, I now have someone to take over my legacy!"

"..."

Brother Tao is too tired to complain.

That's what youth novels are all about.

Among the four sisters in Tiny Times, Nan Xiang, who was supposed to be the most beautiful, had already been made pregnant by her boyfriend Xi Cheng.

The next day, evening.

Chen Tao held a birthday party for Yi Yao at a restaurant outside the school. In addition to the Gu siblings, Qi Ming was also invited.

Lixia refused to participate, after all, she couldn't face Yi Yao.

As for Xiao Si and Cheng Qiqi, Chen Tao did invite them, after all, Yi Yao was willing to see their strangeness, but they didn't come. Their relationship was not that close, and there was even a rift between them, so they could only be superficial friends.

At the dinner, Yi Yao also tried to bring Gu Senxiang and Qi Ming back together, but failed.

Because Gu Senxiang was still wearing the jade pendant given by her boyfriend, and she even occasionally dreamed of her boyfriend at night.

***
Time passes day by day.

With the breakthrough in their relationship, Lixia is now more interested in listening to music and occasionally asks Brother Tao to play the piano for her.

In return, she would let Brother Tao take advantage of her a little bit every time.

This is of course very immoral, and she felt secretly ashamed of it, but sometimes, one can only feel ashamed after the fact.

What else could she do? She really couldn't refuse Brother Tao. It was already very difficult to hold on to her bottom line.

Soon it was June.

The senior high school students naturally have to prepare for the college entrance examination nervously, and the sophomores such as Chen Tao are not idle either, after all, the final exams are just around the corner.

June 6th is Grain in Ear. Although the college entrance examination does not begin until tomorrow, the school must first vacate the room for the examination, so all students in the first and second year of high school must leave school and return to school on the 10th.

During these few days off, Yi Yao of course planned to review carefully and strive to be in the top 100 in the final exam, so she proposed to Gu Senxiang to hold a study session so that she could ask the other party for help if she encountered any problems.

Gu Senxiang agreed.

Gu Senxi is still a dog-licker, how could he not want to see Yi Yao? I agree with both hands!
Chen Tao had no objection either.

After all, he doesn't need to participate, so he might as well find a place to go fishing in the wild when he has time.

In the afternoon of the 7th.

Chen Tao returned home carrying two mandarin fish bought from the market and other various ingredients, and prepared a sumptuous dinner for his girlfriend, his future girlfriend, and his future brother-in-law who coveted his girlfriend.

"Really delicious!"

In fact, this was not the first time that Gu Senxiang visited Brother Tao's house, and every time she praised his cooking skills.

As for the fact that the second bedroom was converted into a study, and that Yi Yao and Brother Tao lived together and shared the same room, it shocked the two of them who came here for the first time.

I have to say that Qi Ming did a really good job of keeping the secret; the two of them didn't even know that Yi Yao had been pregnant.

While eating dinner, the four of them discussed the Chinese composition topic "I want to hold your hand" that they had taken this morning.

Yi Yao said firmly: "This kind of question must not involve love, otherwise a lot of points will be deducted!"

Chen Tao laughed and said, "Nonsense, if you can't fall in love early, where does love come from? Most people don't have experience, so even if they want to write about this aspect, they can't write about it."

Yi Yao snorted, "Yeah, how can I understand love? Only a scumbag like you with a rich love history can easily write a perfect love essay!"

How dare you expose my secrets?

Chen Tao also snorted: "You talk as if you don't like Qi Ming. Is secret love also love? Xixi's secret love for you can also be considered the budding of love."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Senxi, the person involved, couldn't hold back and said, "I didn't! I don't have a crush on Yaoyao!"

Yi Yao followed closely behind and lied with her eyes open: "I have never had a crush on Qi Ming!"

Gu Senxiang said with a headache: "Let's stop talking about feelings for now, let's talk about this composition seriously! After we finish eating, we will each write a composition."

This proposal was passed unanimously.

Of course, Chen Tao himself would definitely not write this essay. If he had to write one, he would write the essay for next year's college entrance examination.

Gu Senxi didn't want to write either. He wanted to read the historical novels that Brother Tao was carrying more. However, with Gu Senxiang, who was like a mother to him as an older sister, under pressure, he could only study hard.

a quarter past eight.

Chen Tao made a cup of tea and posted a sharp comment on Tianya.com under the nickname "Top Scorer in Liberal Arts".

A dormitory at Fudan University.

Tang Wanru, who had strong limbs but a simple mind and graduated based on her sports performance, shouted loudly:
"Gu Li, Gu Li, your lifelong enemy is scolding you again!"

Before she spoke, Gu Li was in a very good mood today, but now she was very crazy.

Gu Li leaned over and saw with trepidation that the post [Refuting Gu's Article 7 in the Dangyue Shijing] openly read:

The content of this issue is basically like cat pissing on dog shit. It is completely insincere. It is obvious that he was scolded by me and became stupid. He gave up on himself and talked nonsense. It is obvious that Gu is still a college student who has not entered the society. He is full of naivety and fantasy. He always picks on useless details and cannot think rationally about the essence of things. It is not worth refuting. There are only eight suggestions as follows:

……

Gu Li clenched his fists, but loosened them after reading the suggestions.

As a top student majoring in accounting, she has always been proud to write review articles for the magazine that Tang Wanru reads as "Menstruation at that time."

Even the most critical editor would not criticize her like this.

Rather than being her lifelong enemy, it would be more accurate to say that she was her natural enemy. Ever since she set her sights on her two months ago, she had shown no mercy and had criticized her to the point of being worthless.

She really didn't want to write anymore. But the magazine wanted to attract more traffic, and she herself didn't want to admit defeat, so she had to continue.
