Chapter 36

Tong Mingyue just finished the meeting and seemed to be in a bad mood.

Xu Can thought so, and was going to say something witty to make her happy. Before taking two steps, she heard her tone become very gentle again:

“Did you just finish class?”

Xu Can said “um” and saw that she was holding the computer and holding such a thick document.

“Give me half of the information,” Yang Rui had nothing to hold, but now Tong Mingyue came to take it, Xu Can immediately felt distressed, “I only have so much…”

She wanted to reach out to share, but Tong Mingyue let her go.

“not heavy.”

The tone was inexplicably cold.

Not a few steps to the teaching building, the two camphor trees crossed and shaded, and the light spots scattered and flickered with the wind. Stepping on the broken light between the shaking tree shadows, he quickly entered the building.

Xu Can was stunned, “Are you hungry then?”

As he spoke, he thought that he was already a day student. I still live next door to Tong Mingyue, so I don’t have to go to the cafeteria to make an appointment. I changed my mind and said, “Do you have anything else to do?”

“Well, I’ll be busy later.”

Tong Mingyue helped her deliver the materials to the classroom.

Academic conferences, academic reports, and swarms of projects. There are also students in the research group to worry about.

Xu Can thought for a while: “What time do you go home at night?”

After she finished speaking, she felt that the words sounded unusual, and there was a feeling that she couldn’t speak. She was heartbroken and looked at her eagerly.

“Probably, more than ten o’clock,” Tong Mingyue also bent her lips, “you have to eat by yourself.”

His tone was soft, and he didn’t know who he was talking about in the second half of the sentence.

Xu Can pursed his mouth and looked at her face, his expression as usual. She obviously intends to pass the incident a few days ago as an episode.

And teasing her again.

A little resentment. She deliberately said happily: “Well, I’m going to play with my classmates. Xiaoya just said that she will take me to the bar to play at night.”

Tong Mingyue: “…”

Tong Mingyue: “Guo Xiaoya?”

Xu Can nodded innocently and said, “I’ve never been to a bar. I’ve always heard that it’s fun. Some people sing, dance, perform, etc. Well, and drink.”

A few kilometers away, Guo Xiaoya, who was taking a Japanese class at an educational institution, sneezed.

Tong Mingyue: “…”

She seemed to think for a long time what to say.

Finally, he spoke with three simple words: “Don’t go.”

Xu Can smirked when he heard the words.

After a pause, he raised his tone and said with doubt: “Why, I’m an adult. Xiaoya rarely said that she wanted to show me the world.”

Guo Xiaoya, who copied her katakana name, sneezed again.

Tong Mingyue didn’t speak, her eyes swept over from behind the lens and looked straight at her.

“…”

Silence for a few seconds.

Xu Can lowered his head, sipped his dimples and chuckled: “Okay, I won’t go.”

so fierce.

I’m afraid.

—

Less than half past ten at night.

The lights outside the window were brilliant, and the moon, which was originally blocked by the haze, became clear and soft again after a while. The haze and shadows drifted away.

Xu Can looked at the time and guessed that Tong Mingyue should be back.

She was busy in the kitchen for half an hour, preparing a snack lunch box suitable for a late-night snack. Half of it was a low-calorie greens and fruit salad, and the other half was a mini burger I made last time.

This time, of course, it’s still that small.

She knocks on the door.

Tong Mingyue had indeed returned.

Xu Can put down the beautiful food box with his hands, raised his dimples, and said generously, “Look, there is a love bento.”

“Please come in…” Tong Mingyue let her in without expressing any opinion on this.

Just bowed his head and chuckled.

“Are you hungry now,” Xu Can asked, knowing that she must be busy, “What time do you have dinner?”

Tong Mingyue thought for a while: “…forgot?”

Bento boxes are placed at the bar.

Xu Can noticed that she was wearing different clothes during the day, and her long hair was still pulled up. Probably not long after taking a shower.

“Isn’t it because she didn’t eat at all?” Xu Can looked at her expression carefully, and was a little unhappy, “Who told me in the afternoon that I would eat by myself.”

Tong Mingyue smiled and said nothing.

Open bento box.

She was particularly cheering today, and said in a very sincere tone: “Wow, on the way back, I was still thinking about how long it would take to make a wish when I want to eat the neighbor’s signature small burger next time.”

“What signature little burger…” Xu Canming knew that she was exaggerating on purpose, but he was still amused, and muttered, “When did you say you wanted to eat it?”

With a stern face: “It will lie to me.”

Tong Mingyue did not refute.

She finished cutting the hamburger with a knife and fork and was busy eating.

The burger looks the same as last time, with a cartoon bear with ears and a cute smiling face. Only the chicken inside was replaced with beef. Fried fragrant, sizzling oil.

While Tong Mingyue was eating, Xu Can looked at her silently.

She was very happy.

At the same time, he carefully scolded her with his mouth shape and said, “run away after kissing someone…excessive…hooligan…”

Don’t even think about who is the rogue.

Tong Mingyue didn’t raise her eyes, she was eating, and suddenly said without warning, “Xu Can, you are not allowed to drink in the future.”

Xu Can: “…”

She was quite serious.

Xu Can was immediately aggrieved: “Why!”

“What’s wrong with drinking?”

“What’s the matter,” Tong Mingyue asked slowly while eating vegetable salad with a smile, “Is wine good to drink? Or…is it fun to be drunk?”

Xu Can: “…”

Her Adam’s apple moved slightly, swallowed, and remained silent for the first time. The so-called enemy does not move me.

After a while, Tong Mingyue stopped talking.

Xu Can felt unwilling again, and asked nonchalantly, “…that day, what happened to me… what happened to me?”

“If you really like drinking so much,” Tong Mingyue didn’t answer, she just gave her a deep look, “I’ll have to find someone to watch and drink in the future.”

Xu Can was delighted: “Then who should I go to?”

Xu Can: “I’m not looking for you, you still don’t let Xiaoya take me to the bar.”

She puffed up her face, lowered her eyes and said with a very aggrieved look: “No, I want to be free myself.”

Tong Mingyue: “…”

Tong Mingyue lowered her head and said dully, “…find me.”

Xu Can tried his best to hold back his smile: “Well, look at me.”

I’ll kiss you next time.

have eaten.

Tong Mingyue had to go back to work, so Xu Can casually asked what she was busy with. After listening, he frowned and asked, “Can’t these be sent directly to students to do?”

Tong Mingyue smiled: “They also have their own things to do.”

Xu Can suddenly thought of Senior Sister’s complaints, and sent a group message to tutor A, who was saturated with the same courier for him. Mentor B, who helped the students move the house and was afraid of being ripped off by them immediately.

Xu Can said, “Then I’ll help you. I’m idle, and I’ll do these things too.”

Tong Mingyue was not polite to her.

A stack of documents was directly handed to her: “Please, Xu Can.”

…

Xu Can sat in the study, beside Tong Mingyue.

Shoulder to shoulder, less than five centimeters away, help her work. She is willing to do this for the rest of her life.

After she was done with her own work, she turned her face to the side and looked at Tong Mingyue naturally.

The light shone on the desk from the side, outlining her face, half bright and half dark, with a contemplative face. Take a pen and circle the places that need to be considered and modified from time to time.

Tong Mingyue had also done her hair a few times before, and they were all tied neither too high nor too low, neat and refreshing.

He may be busy with things now, and he has **** a little, a little bit of hair, and scattered around his ears. Showing off a white, slender neck. Dignified and elegant a little light, actually vibrant.

The older generation always said that girls with high hair are good-looking.

Xu Can didn’t feel it at first, but seeing Tong Mingyue like this, he suddenly felt that what he said made sense.

She just wanted to say something.

Tong Mingyue met her long gaze, her eyes softened, and suddenly asked, “What’s wrong with your face?”

Xu Can: “Huh?”

Tong Mingyue pointed to her cheek: “What is it?”

Xu Can touched his face, but felt nothing.

Tong Mingyue found a mirror and handed it to her.

Xu Can took a photo and found that there was really a small cut on his cheek, which should have been accidentally scratched by a piece of paper, a little broken and scratched.

It was so subtle that she didn’t feel it.

“I don’t know when I got it,” Xu Can saw his hair loose in the mirror. Suddenly remembered, he deliberately tugged his hair and said, “Long hair is so troublesome.”

“Would it be better to get up?”

Very natural: “Would you help me Wanwan?”

Tong Mingyue recovered from the project, and when she heard the last sentence, she bent her lips, “Okay.”

As always, he graciously agreed.

She opened the bottom drawer, took out a rubber band and a small comb, and then remembered to say, “What does it look like?” She stood behind her.

Xu Can’s heart was pounding, and he tried to be calm: “Just like you.”

“it is good.”

From above her head, she responded with a smile.

Xu Can pursed his lips.

In front of him was a mirror the size of a quick slap, and the small one in the upper right corner reflected Tong Mingyue’s body.

Xu Can gently lowered his eyelashes and moved the angle of the mirror, and the mirror was full of her.

Tong Mingyue was very attentive to helping her with her hair.

I didn’t notice this little move.

As if she was afraid that it would hurt her, she moved very lightly, her slender fingers wrapped around her soft long hair, but after tying it several times, it was not properly tied.

Xu Can could feel his hair tighten and loosen several times.

After a while, Tong Mingyue finally hooped the cowhide tendon and wrapped it up. She didn’t seem to be satisfied, she didn’t speak, she tucked her hair into it to adjust her appearance.

Xu Can smiled and asked, “Are you okay?”

In the mirror, she saw Tong Mingyue’s eyes drifting down, her tone a little weak, “I didn’t help other little girls tie their hair.”

Obviously a little embarrassed.

“So, it doesn’t seem to be very good-looking…”

Xu Can looked in the mirror.

She also looked at Xu Can from the mirror, as if observing, looking at the front to see if the piercing was good, and looking at each other in the mirror. After a few seconds of silence, Tong Mingyue curled her lips into a silent smile.

“Well, people are still beautiful.”

Xu Can: “…”

She also said solemnly: “I have to practice again by myself.”

Xu Can: “…”

“Why are you blushing,” Tong Mingyue said, touching her cheek with her fingers, seemingly unintentionally.

“I didn’t,” Xu Can’s ears were almost red, and he fanned the air with his hands pretending to be calm, “…it’s a little hot.”

“Oh,” her voice seemed to be smiling, “it’s a little hot.”
