【31.】

  The next morning, I had a sumptuous breakfast at Tao's house. Rubbing my round belly, I sighed: "Oh dear, Auntie, if you gave birth to a boy, it would be great! I'd marry into your family and have big meals every morning."

  Tao Hao looked at me with disdain: "Look at your little conscience, you were bought off by just one meal."

  "Come on, let's eat!" said Mom Tao, patting Tao Hao's hand.

  I looked at Tao's proud smile, she glared at me: "Eat your meal!"

  She is just like her mother, these two people are sometimes exactly alike in their demeanor and tone of voice, they really deserve to be called mother and daughter.

  I rarely mention my mother, but actually she's been very good to me. It's just that after I went to college, she thought I was an adult and could handle many things on my own, so in daily life, she doesn't restrict me much.

  When I returned to school, I saw Du Bin and Jin Tongtong at the entrance. They got out of a car, and we met each other's eyes, feeling extremely awkward.

  "What's going on here?!"

  Du Bin was calm and composed, seeing me and Tao he nodded in greeting: "Good morning."

  I nodded: "Good morning."

  Those around Tao are good at pretending, she has always been like this, with clear-cut love and hate, and even the superficial skills are too lazy to do.

  Jin Tongtong had just recovered from a serious illness, her face was very pale. Tao Hao glanced at her lightly and said seemingly unintentionally: "Oh, were you ill?"

  Before Jin Tongtong could respond, she continued: "Even when you're sick, you don't forget to flirt with people, how refreshing."

  After finishing speaking, he pulled me away. I'm not a kind person either. Moreover, if I showed friendly attitude towards these two people at this time, wouldn't that be ruining the good show?

  She quietly followed Tao Hao, letting this queen show off her high-profile personality.

  As I walked to the corner, the silhouettes of those two people gradually blurred. I looked at her: "Alright, you! Full firepower from early morning."

  "Cut!" Tao waved his hand "I'm going to get into the coffin now, just seeing these two people. I'll definitely be able to shine again. Do you believe me?"

  "Go go go, no need to mention these unreliable things."

  She shrugged: "Just saying, didn't really die."

  "Great, you're still going on since early morning!"

  I was scolding her for speaking out of turn, just about to seriously rebuke her, when I saw Tao Hua's eyes fixed straight on the dormitory door.

  I heard her gasp: "My god! What a masterpiece!"

  "Yao Jia!"

  Tao looked at me with an unbelievable expression, and I responded with a helpless look: "Shen Zhong."

  She let out a low hum, but I still heard it, and I glared at her: "Hmph!"

  "Such a treasure has already been claimed by someone else, I'd rather die."

  Hey! These three words can't be separated from death. I didn't say anything, too lazy to care about her again.

  Shen Duan walked over, looking a bit tired. I looked at him and asked: "How did you come?"

  He furrowed his brow and asked me with a bit of distress: "Did Gege look for you?"

  I remained silent, unsure of how to respond.

  After all, this is a matter between me and Gege. No matter how boring or unreasonable she is, it's entirely up to me whether I can tolerate her. She just loves Shen Dang, that's all, there's nothing particularly pitiful about her. If at this moment I were to tell on her to Shen Dang, I would despise myself.

  "No."

  Tao Hao was intently staring at Shen Dong, who felt a bit embarrassed. I didn't respond to him, this was one of the rare times he was at a loss for words.

  "But she obviously..."

  I interrupted him: "Is this all you came here for?"

  He was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

  I couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Shen Zhong, this is entirely my personal matter, what reason do you have to intervene? You're really laughably childish. Please don't try to control everything, okay?"

  He also got angry: "Liu Jia."

  When Shen Duan gets angry, he is like this. He knows that I clearly know which sentence will provoke him, so he won't quibble with me over words, but just shout my name.

  Tao Hao pulled me gently and asked in a low voice, "Is the handsome guy angry? Should I coax him?"

  "Wait for you."

  "How about livening up the atmosphere?"

  Shen Duan kept staring at me, even Tao Hao's humorous words couldn't thaw his icy expression. Du Bin and Jin Tongtong, who had just been left behind by me and Tao Hao, walked over.

  What a mess!

  I just feel tired of so many exhausting relationships.

  "Shen Duan, you go back first. Since you came to ask me, it must be that you already know what you want to know, why bother me repeating again?"

  He gazed at me stubbornly: "I want to hear you say it, if you say you're unhappy..."

  "What about you?" I asked helplessly. "You're a man, and for me, you go to find trouble with Gege? Can't you be more mature?"

  Du Bin walked up to me and looked at Shen Dang. His left hand was still holding Jin Tongtong, but he showed a concerned expression: "What's wrong?"

  Shen Dang gave him a cold glance, his eyes full of murderous intent, and I couldn't help but shiver.

  "Mind your own business, don't ask."

  Du Bin looked at me and I smiled back: "It's okay, thank you."

  Jin Tongtong pulled him, he took a step back and looked around three times.

  "I went in."

  He grabbed me: "Liu Jia."

  "What's going on?"

  He stared at me without saying a word, I shook him off: "You're so childish!"

  This sentence seems to have hurt him more than any of mine. He stood there, speechless for half a day. I don't know why a sense of loss surged up in my heart.

  This feeling is both strange and sad, I pulled Tao into the girls' dormitory door.

  He stood there with his body sideways.

  "Pot's good, am I very heartless?"

  "She sighed: 'Go ahead and mess with you then. What a good person! If you don't want him, give him to me!'"

  "Can you have a romantic relationship with someone three years younger than you?"

  "That sentence is too childish and said too harshly." Tao pushed me "It's just that he likes you, otherwise I think that young master would have gotten angry earlier!"

  "I pointed outside: 'Isn't this exactly what's going on now - being angry and sulking?'"

  "With his temper, this degree doesn't even count as being angry, right? Look at him, does he dare to say a harsh word to you?"

  When she said that, I softened. Someone so proud is willing to put aside their dignity for you, what's more touching than that?

  "Stop hesitating and get out quickly."

  "Hey!" I looked at her "How are you so smart?"

  I knew it long ago, Tao Hao is such a sly and cunning guy!

  Although I said so, I still ran out.

  Shen Diao still stood there, his calm profile indicating that he had yet to dissipate his anger.

  "Ah."

  He looked over.

  "Is finding me the only thing you want?"

  He puckered his mouth and shook his head.

  Girls who had just eaten breakfast and returned to the dormitory couldn't help but stare at him. Shen Zhong has always been so eye-catching, I have an inexplicable sense of pride in my heart.

  "I want to come and see you."

  It was just this one sentence that finally softened my heart.

  He smiled at me with his tall and slender figure. Although he was a strong-willed person, he always made me feel heartbroken.
