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

October 7th, evening.

Lixia, who had returned to school, was watching a movie on her laptop in the dormitory when she suddenly received a text message from Cheng Qiqi.

The other party didn't say anything else, just a brief notice:

We are dating.

After reading the news, Lixia felt no emotion at all. She even wanted to laugh, so she actually laughed twice.

She had long lost the feeling between men and women for Xiao Si. She deliberately showed the strawberries grown by someone a few days ago just to make Xiao Si give up on her and stop contacting her on QQ in the future. She never thought of helping her best friend Qiqi. In fact, she did not have the ability to do so.

Did Xiao Si give in this time and officially date Cheng Qiqi because he had no chance with her? Or was it because he felt he owed Qiqi? If so, that was ridiculous.

It’s not impossible to love out of a sense of indebtedness.

But you can't feel guilty about not getting the person you want. That would be too much of a scumbag.

In Lixia's eyes, Xiao Si is such a scumbag, ten times worse than the scumbag who stole her heart!
So besides laughing at Qiqi, she was also laughing at herself. She was so blind at the beginning that she failed to recognize Xiao Si and treated him as a treasure.

After laughing, she continued watching the movie without replying to her best friend.

Unless there are special circumstances, such as attending a class reunion, she doesn't want to meet those two people again.

After having dinner with his grandparents and sharing his learning experience with his little cousin from his aunt's family, Chen Tao drove home.

Halfway through, in addition to receiving a call from Yi Yao asking him where he was and when he could return home, he also received a text message from Lixia.

He called back.

Lixia laughed and joked: "You actually called me? It seems that you are not with Yi Yao right now! Where are you? Did you do anything bad?"

Chen Tao smiled and asked back: "Since you would say such things, you certainly can't be in your own dormitory, right? Where are you? Are you very sad because they are dating, so you went out to relax? Or..."

Lixia interrupted: "No, you should go home and be with her! I don't want a scumbag like you to be with me!"

"Humph, I'm a scumbag, only Xiao Si is a good man!"

"Don't be jealous! I really don't have any feelings for him anymore."

"Then will you accompany me?"

"I'll accompany you, but it's so late now, it's not convenient. I'll have lunch with you tomorrow at noon!"

"Just eating? Can I take a nap at the same time?"

"Can't!"

As we all know, saying no doesn't mean it's really impossible.

At exactly ten o'clock in the evening, Chen Tao stepped into the house.

After changing shoes, I went straight to the master bedroom.

Unfortunately, the door to the master bedroom was locked by someone again tonight.

Chen Tao was in no hurry. He first went to the guest bathroom to take a long shower. Then, adhering to the principle of a naturist, he rummaged through his bag naked and successfully found the new key.

Afterwards, under Yi Yao's surprised and puzzled gaze, he opened the door and walked in with his head held high.

Xiangxiang, who was sitting by the window, also showed a look of shock on her face.

Didn't Yaoyao say that the only two keys were in her hands, so this scumbag in front of her would definitely not be able to get in? How should this situation be explained?

While the two girls were shocked, Chen Tao said nothing. He just walked to the bedside and lay down between them very naturally, watching the 35th episode of the Taiwanese version of "White Tower" which was being broadcast on Shanghai Satellite TV.

Ten seconds later.

Yi Yao finally came back to his senses. He first elbowed him and then asked, "How did you get in?"

She was strong, and Chen Tao, who weighed 180 pounds, was very weak, so he fell into Xiangxiang's arms.

Xiangxiang didn't despise him, instead she reached out and hugged him.

Yaoyao was very upset and punched her boyfriend twice on the buttocks, saying angrily, "Tell me now!"

Xiangxiang guessed with a smile: "The key is in the bedside table. He must have made another one without telling you, right?"

Chen Tao rubbed his hands and praised: "Xiangxiang is really smart! Even if I can transform into 72 different evil spirits, I still have no chance to escape from the palm of Xiangxiang Bodhisattva's hand. I will be controlled by you for the rest of my life!"

When Xiangxiang heard this, she immediately laughed out loud with joy.

Yaoyao snorted, "Xiangxiang is the only one who can control you? Are you underestimating your real girlfriend?"

As he said that, he took control of Brother Tao.

But Brother Tao hadn't mastered the Iron Shirt, so how could he resist? He immediately begged for mercy:
"Yaoyao, we have early classes tomorrow, let's all go to bed early and stop making trouble."

Yi Yao stretched out her right hand and said, "Hand over the key you gave me, then go to the second bedroom and reflect on yourself for a night."

Brother Tao had no choice but to nod in humiliating agreement.

Yi Yao was very proud of herself, but just when she let go, Brother Tao subdued her like a tiger descending from the mountains.

Ninety kilograms versus ninety pounds, the advantage is on Brother Tao.

How could Yi Yao give in? While the conversation was still going on, she quickly asked for help: "Xiang Xiang, help me!"

Just like decades ago, on a tram, the one-in-a-million martial arts genius Ah Xing asked his companion Fatty Cong to help him deal with an innocent clerk wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

Of course Xiangxiang couldn't imitate the barking of a dog to scare Brother Tao, and she didn't help either. Instead, she took the opportunity to run away. How disloyal!
Unfortunately it's too late.

Brother Tao had wrapped Yaoyao up in a quilt like a caterpillar. She couldn't break free in a hurry, but he freed his hands to deal with Xiangxiang calmly.

As for how to deal with it, no one is interested, so there is no need to elaborate, it is enough for you to know it from a distance.

The next morning, Yi Yao still went to school alone.

Although she changed her major to Chinese, it was not difficult for her. She had already made plans to pursue a master's and doctoral degree simultaneously. It would be even better if she could go straight to a doctorate like her boyfriend.

Chen Tao will definitely be able to pursue a doctorate degree directly in the future. During this period, he wrote some articles about the subprime mortgage crisis. Although even the authorities had expressed concern as soon as there were signs of the crisis.

But before next year, before the crisis breaks out completely, who has the ability to accurately predict like Chen Tao, give some of the possible processes of the crisis, and at the same time come up with ways to deal with the crisis?
He will continue to publish articles. With these articles in hand, it will not be difficult for him to graduate early and pursue a doctorate degree.

It's not like after you've developed a nuclear fusion device, you'd want to ask if there are any colleges or universities that would hire you, right?
noon.

Chen Tao had something urgent to do and couldn't have lunch with Xiangxiang, so he went to Tongji University next door to pick up Lixia, and then went to the Western restaurant at the Bund Mall together.

Due to the impact of Typhoon Rosa, heavy rain fell today, so it was not convenient to enjoy lunch on the terrace.

But choosing a seat by the window and looking at Huangpu in the rain is also quite interesting.

Lixia sighed sincerely: "The money I spent on this lunch is enough for me to eat in the school cafeteria for two and a half months. It's too extravagant."

Chen Tao laughed: "Having two lovely girlfriends is also a luxury."

"Scumbag! Shirou!"

Lixia grumbled, then forked a piece of steak to block his mouth, forbidding him to say such things again. Chen Tao ate it, and also fed her shrimp, then smiled and said, "I agree with the evaluation of the scumbag, but I'm sorry that I cannot agree with the last sentence."

Lixia was very interested: "Why don't you agree? You must be Shilang, otherwise you already have a girlfriend, why do you still love me?"

Chen Tao smiled and explained: "Objectively, I may be lustful, but subjectively, I have always been a gentleman. It's just that I am in good health, so I can't control myself. This is determined by the objective instinct of living things, and it can't be stopped by mental will. If you don't believe it, you can check the data of the Olympic Games over the years to see how much that the athletes consumed during the Olympics."

Lixia's eyes widened, as if her worldview had been shattered. She couldn't believe it: "Is it really like this?"

"Fake!"

Chen Tao said seriously: "I don't know about other people, but I won't love someone just because of instinct. What I love most is Lixia's interesting soul, not just her appearance. I believe Lixia is the same, she won't love Xiaosi just because he is handsome."

Lixia burst into laughter and said deliberately:

"You are just jealous. You are jealous that Xiao Si is more handsome than you!"

Chen Tao was immediately jealous: "First of all, he is not as handsome as me, his figure is not as good as mine, whether it is academic performance or badminton, which he is particularly good at, he is far inferior to me. Why should I be jealous of him? Secondly, his character is much worse than mine. Although I am fickle, I will definitely give a practical response to those who love me and whom I love. And what about him? He has failed Li Yanran's love, Cheng Qiqi's love, and even your love. He is a pure scumbag and is completely good for nothing! How can a person like him be qualified to compare with me?"

These words were well-reasoned and did not slander Xiao Si at all. After hearing them, Lixia naturally nodded repeatedly and rubbed Tao Ge's leg to express her apology.

As everyone knows, this alone is not enough to calm Brother Tao down, so after dinner he has to go to the river view room again.

****
Good times always pass quickly.

The beginning of winter has passed.

During this period, in addition to studying, students can also participate in many activities such as the Freshman Cup, School of Economics Cup, and School Sports Meet.

Mr. Chen declined to participate in any of them.

Without Xiao Si and the Qi Ming brothers to serve as his background, he simply couldn't muster up any motivation.

However, on the evening of the 12th, at Xiangxiang's request, he reluctantly signed up for the college's top ten singers competition, which immediately attracted the attention of many classmates.

After all, the previous song "There Are So Many People in This World" was so popular that it even spread beyond the school.

So everyone is looking forward to it.

But this time, our Tao Ge does not intend to sing an "original" song.

Instead, he chose to sing the old Pa version of "Women Are Fickle" to show off his tenor that was enough to destroy the whole world.

Under the spotlight, he looked at Xiangxiang with a smile on his lips, and sang affectionately with a high note that made several judges drop their jaws:
"…Women are so fickle, they keep changing their minds. They look cute, crying one moment and smiling the next, but only a fool would believe them~"

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know Italian.

Subtitles have been displayed on the projector screen so that students who are not familiar with the song can understand it.

You are the fickle and philandering one!

Although Xiangxiang secretly complained, she was really moved. Who wouldn't be confused when this scumbag confessed his love to her in opera?
Yaoyao doesn’t even get this kind of treatment!

So she diligently played the role of a woman who was bewitched by him. Not only did she look at him with eyes of genuine admiration, she also did not forget to pour him a glass of water. This meant that she was already fascinated by him and asked him to moisten his throat so that he could continue singing to her.

Chen Geshen held the glass of water, glanced at Gu Li and the other four sisters who had sneaked in with a smile, and continued singing.

When he sang the last word "edipensier" in an extra-long high note, the whole audience was boiling with excitement.

Tao Ge's fan Tang Wanru even jumped up.

But it’s not over yet.

Xiangxiang was wearing a white dress. When she threw herself into the arms of Chen Tao, who was wearing a formal suit, and they danced a waltz passionately to the accompaniment of music, that was the end!
The cheers got louder!

How can this be a singing competition?

It's clearly a wedding scene.

If Yi Yao saw this, she would probably bite the handkerchief to pieces.

But there was nothing she could do, since she couldn't come to Fudan!

back row.

Tang Wanru sighed: "If I also have a boyfriend like him, how happy would I be?"

When Gu Li and the other two heard this, they looked at her in disbelief.

what's the situation?
Is the end of the world coming?

Tang Wanru, a real man, actually showed the symptoms of a young girl in love? This is impossible!
The three of them looked at each other, and finally Gu Li asked:
"Wanru, you are not kidding, do you really want to find a boyfriend?"

Tang Wanru said dissatisfiedly: "From the tone of your words, do you think I can't find it or can't find it? Am I still a man in your eyes?"

Gu Li waved his hands quickly: "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask if you have this plan? If you really do, we have to help you!"

Tang Wanru curled her lips and said, "I don't want your help. I'll find it myself."

Really looking for it? ! ! !
The three sisters were all stunned, as if they saw a Tyrannosaurus Rex not biting a child, but instead chasing a woman in high heels, and couldn't even catch up with her.

Gu Li wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by Nan Xiang:
"If, I mean if, your boyfriend in the future is also like him and doesn't get along well with Gu Li, who would you help?"

Tang Wanru said without hesitation: "Of course I will help him. I'm not a fool, how can I not help my boyfriend?"

Gu Liren was numb.

Lin Xiao was also in a difficult situation.

Nan Xiang complained: "You're not stupid, but you value women over friendship! Gu Li won't be able to rely on you when he fights with her in the future!"

In fact, she has no right to say this.

Her boyfriend Xi Cheng is not very nice to her.

But she was quite mean, as if she was wearing a hat of forgiveness. She always chose to forgive Xi Cheng again and again, even though she had angrily asked him to die many times, but when he stood in front of her again, she softened her heart.

Xi Cheng has not contacted her in the past few months, but according to the schedule, he will contact her next month, and she will naturally forgive this scumbag.

Of course he is a scumbag.

Even if the mother died, it is understandable that the temperament changed drastically, but the behavior of those scumbag men is still objectively scumbag.

If Yaoyao and Xiangxiang knew what Xi Cheng had done and all the ways Nan Xiang had forgiven Xi Cheng, they would definitely hope that Chen Tao's adopted mother could live a long life.

Because the changes of male characters in Xiao Si's novels seem to require the sacrifice of a mother.

Lu Zhiang's change was because his mother got cancer and died early.

Xi Cheng's change was also due to her mother's depression and her choice to commit suicide.

If Tao Ge's cheap mom or dad really met with misfortune, and he also openly lingered among the women like Xi Cheng, then how green would Yaoyao and Xiangxiang be?
Even so, they still have to forgive Brother Tao just as Nan Xiang forgave Xi Cheng.

It's too ridiculous. (End of this chapter)
