Peach and Plum Do Not Speak

Yan Xi is Tao Zhenzhen's roommate. She was originally one year later than Tao Zhenzhen. When she first entered the school, she heard that a senior sister in the same dormitory was pregnant before marriage. On college campuses, gossip always spreads quickly, especially a peach-colored gossip about a young, beautiful and talented girl.

When she was in her sophomore year and changed dormitories in the department, she found that she and this senior sister had become roommates.

They have different majors and different class times, but after a long time, they found that Tao Zhenzhen is a proud and hard-working person. Her return to school also brought a lot of gossip, and some people who watched the fun with bad intentions used it to stab her. She ignored it, and every day was like a peacock with her head held high, showing her beautiful talents proudly and coldly in school. Study, go to the library, participate in speech competitions, participate in debate competitions, participate in student council selections.

Yan Xi admired her, and in the same dormitory, the two gradually became close friends.

Yan Xi is not a person who is easy to make friends with others. She feels that friends are about fate, but even the best friends must draw a clear line and respect other people's privacy. She felt that she and Tao Zhenzhen had a better friendship than roommates, and the friendship between gentlemen was as light as water. So she never asked.

After sending the materials to Tao Zhenzhen, she had planned to leave. The men and women accused and scolded each other, which made the faces of the two beautiful young men a little hideous. She has no intention of interfering in other people's affairs. Unexpectedly, when he turned his head, he met Tao Anzhi who had opened a crack in the door.

The little girl, wearing an overly long skirt, clawed at the door, not even as high as the door handle.

I don't know how long she's been listening.

Yan Xi walked over without thinking.

She was well-educated since she was a child, and she never saw the suffering of children and the elderly.

The little girl has a pair of Wu Yingying eyes, pure and early wisdom.

The hand held in the palm of the hand is like a small fudge, giving people a feeling that they must take good care of the gravity.

Yan Xi thought that her mentality and age were just stuck on an embarrassing scale. She had just passed 21, and her personality did not hate children, nor did she like it very much. Nor was she mature enough to be motherly to any child.

Fortunately, her eldest brother has a pair of twin boys who are in perfect condition and go to the house every day, which gives her a little experience in dealing with children.

That is... buy food.

Not too clever.

Especially after she bought an ice cream for the little girl, she realized later that a child of this age can't seem to give her ice cream, right?

I haven't changed my deciduous teeth yet, and it's not summer that has to be hot enough to eat ice, what should I do if I have diarrhea?

However, I could see that the little girl was very happy. When she opened the package, she looked at the fish-shaped ice cream with a small "wow", took a curious bite, and her eyes were bright.

Maybe not eaten?

That happy look made Yan Xi dissipate the inappropriate behavior of "should not buy ice for little girls" just now.

She asked softly, "Is it delicious?"

The little girl's mouth was bulging, and she vigorously nodded her head. She smiled coyly at her after swallowing, sinking into a lovely dimple on her right cheek. Then she ate like a hamster, moving her cheeks slightly, and with one bite, her lips were covered in chocolate.

Yan Xi's eyes were full of dense smiles, and she took out a tissue and wiped it for her.

She seemed a little unhappy when asked about her age. No matter what age a woman is, she is a little emotional when asked about her age.

As a child, she was afraid that others would call her too young.

Six years old, looks a little over four years old. Does she know that the two adults in the house, her parents arguing over her custody, don't want her?

Adults seem to be extremely cruel things. I hope she doesn't understand?

Yan Xi's gaze stayed on the little girl's sleeves that had been rolled up several layers for a while, then withdrew.

Sigh, children are sensitive, how can they not understand?

The phone in her pocket vibrated several times. Today, Yan Xi took a half-day leave from the TV station to go back to school to report some school-leaving procedures. By the way, she sent some information to be filled out to Tao Zhenzhen. She never thought this would happen. thing.

She should go back.

Forget it, just wait.

The little girl was peeking at her. Yan Xi pretended not to see it and turned off the phone.

She turned back, scratched her fingers, and sat there, quietly and tenderly. She's as good as a little animal waiting to be claimed.

Suddenly, the little girl's back straightened and she jumped off the chair.

Yan Xi glanced over, Tao Zhenzhen and Chen Muqi came over, Tao Zhenzhen's face was determined, and Chen Musi slumped his shoulders.

Looking at this, it should be discussed. This scene, after all, is someone else's family affair, so I'm a little embarrassed here.

Yan Xi hesitated for a while, but didn't say "I'm leaving first".

Approaching, Tao Zhenzhen had a small schoolbag hanging on his arm, in the shape of a rabbit, with two long ears dangling and shaking.

An Zhi's face suddenly turned white.

Yan Xi also understood. She frowned.

Tao Zhenzhen took a deep breath and said to Chen Muqi, "...I'll have a few words with her."

Chen Muqi acquiesced.

"Anzhi..."

An Zhi let her lead her over, she thought blankly: She finally led me, but it came at a price...

Tao Zhenzhen turned the car around a few times in his heart. As soon as her name was called, she stopped. She took a few deep breaths and decided to say straight: "You will live with Dad in the future..."

The expression on the face of the man who was a few steps away was very unnatural when he heard these two words, and he coughed dryly. This Tao Zhenzhen is really interesting. When speaking to a child, he must put the words "your father" in it, and he doesn't even think that he is "mother".

Tao Zhenzhen bit her lip for a few seconds, took off the schoolbag hanging on her arm, and squatted down to put it on her back.

An Zhi didn't pick it up, her face was pale, and she felt that something was twisting and tingling in her heart. Her little head was also blank, and she didn't know what to say.

She was dumbfounded and suddenly thought, did I know too few words? Another thought came out, I should go to kindergarten. Thoughts like this snowballed, one after another: But I couldn't go to kindergarten, my grandfather died. If she dies, she will never come back. Grandpa won't come back, so no one wants her.

The woman in front of him doesn't want her, and neither does the father's man.

Huge grief swarmed, like a knife, cutting, stabbing, and she was young and had no ability to deal with it. At that time, An Zhi didn't know that it took her almost half her life to calm down the pain.

The three adults around were silent, and Yan Xi silently looked away.

They are all waiting for the reaction that the child should have, such as splashing, such as falling to the ground and howling.

nothing.

Tao Anzhi stood for a long time, and then she took the schoolbag stiffly and slowly, like a puppet with a string, and put it on her back.

His face was ashen pale.

Tao Zhenzhen finally couldn't help it. She shook her small shoulder and said, "I'm sorry for you!" As soon as these words came out, her tears rolled down one by one, and she choked and said, "I didn't do it." Getting ready to be a mom…”

She murmured again: "I'm not ready yet..." As if to strengthen her resolve.

"I just graduated. I managed to win this place to study abroad. I only have this chance... You know, grandpa, my father is gone, and I have no one else to rely on... Do you understand?"

"Anzhi, your father...Chen Muqi is different. He doesn't need to work hard. He still has parents. His family is rich, so it's no problem to support you..."

Tao Zhenzhen trembled as he spoke, "Don't worry, he is already your guardian, and you are protected by law. If he dares to abuse you...you can sue him..."

All her life, she wanted to leave that small village and get rid of that impoverished primitive family. The so-called bow does not return the arrow, she has no other choice but to move forward.

She said so much, but Tao Anzhi just lowered his head and grabbed the strap of his schoolbag with his little hands. He didn't cry or speak. Instead, Tao Zhenzhen's pear blossoms brought rain, and he couldn't cry himself.

Yan Xi frowned, hesitated, and sighed softly.

This adult is like a child, and the child has to behave like an adult.

Chen Muqi said impatiently: "Okay, don't cry, isn't everything up to you? You are wronged, don't worry! I won't abuse her."

He just felt aggrieved. Not knowing how to explain to his parents at home, he said irritably: "I'm done? I'll leave after I'm done... Don't pretend that the mother and daughter are deeply in love..."

"Chen Muqi!"

He sneered: "I said wrong? That's good... You said that you want to study abroad, no more than three or four years, even if you are five years, you will graduate and work in five years, will you come to pick her up? You dare to say that. ?"

Tao Zhenzhen was stunned.

Chen Muqi sneered.

Tao Anzhi raised his face and looked at her.

Tao Zhenzhen couldn't resist her gaze, and couldn't say "I'll come pick you up".

Tao Anzhi's eyes dimmed little by little.

Chen Muqi urged her: "Let's go."

Tao Anzhi suddenly unbuttoned her schoolbag, opened the zipper, and took out a book. She opened it, and it was a photo of one side. She flipped her little hand, took out one, and handed it to Tao Zhenzhen.

Tao Zhenzhen took it with trembling hands.

She packed her schoolbag again, turned around, followed behind Chen Muqi, and walked away.

Tao Zhenzhen glanced at the photo and couldn't help covering her mouth and crying. It was her father holding An Zhi, and the two smiled brightly at the camera.

She cried so sadly that she could barely stand. Yan Xi, who witnessed everything by her side, had to reach out to support her.

Yan Xi did not comfort her, nor did she express her opinion. She even regretted why she chose to ask for leave today. If she didn't ask for leave, she would not go back to the dormitory, nor would she see the form on Tao Zhenzhen's desk, nor would she send it to her.

She would not have seen such an embarrassing and cruel scene.

She's an outsider, and she can't help but talk. The immature figure of the little girl lowered her head and followed behind the adults step by step. She carried a bunny schoolbag on her back and drooped her pair of long ears. Following her steps, she moved and moved again.

A strand of hair floated over to cover Yan Xi's sight, and she raised her hand and brushed it away.

At this moment, the little girl in front suddenly stopped and looked back gently towards them.

Yan Xi was startled.

The little girl wasn't looking back at her mother, she was looking at her.
