Chapter 41 The Moon and 6pence

The close body made Xu Jiangtong's breathing heat up quickly, his head was buzzing, and when he heard the doorbell shaking, he held his hand: "Come down first, we'll talk when we get home."

"Okay." Tao Xihong also deliberately glanced at the door, and slowly stood up straight, his raised eyes wrapped around him, as if to say: You can't run away anyway.

Xu Jiangtong tested the temperature of his cheeks, got up and straightened his clothes: "These days we get off work early, let's drive back."

Tao Xihong said yes, and followed him to the parking lot.Xu Jiangtong pressed the remote control button, and the unlocking sound sounded. It was a white off-road vehicle.

Tao Xihong knew a thing or two about the car industry, and when he saw the ordinary car in front of him, he was relieved and got into the passenger compartment with peace of mind.

"I didn't expect you to be able to drive." Tao Xihong curiously played with the roly-poly doll on the car seat.

"Going out alone, you can't know nothing." Xu Jiangtong started the car while talking, "What about you?"

"Six thousand for one exam," Tao Xihong complained, "If I have so much money, I might as well buy myself a computer."

"Don't you have a computer yet?" Xu Jiangtong captured the key information at once.

"I..." Tao Xihong was suddenly speechless in embarrassment.Obviously Xu Jiangtong still remembered the lie he made up that day.

After being silent for a few seconds, he hastened to be soft and behaved, and cast an aggrieved look at Xu Jiangtong: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you for the sake of face."

Xu Jiangtong shook his head: "I don't blame you, but I hope we can make this matter clear."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Tao Xihong's black down jacket. The seams of the needle and thread had long been worn white, and the fabric of the cuffs was also pilled, and it had shrunk a lot, almost exposing half of his arm.

Tao Xihong knew what he was looking at, pulled down his sleeves a little, and forced a smile: "Don't buy me a computer. The quality of life has improved too fast, and I won't be rated as a very poor student next year."

"It's also social assistance, why can't you accept mine?" Xu Jiang gave him a glance.

"You are not an outsider, you are my wife."

"Since we are family members, we should help each other even more, shouldn't we?"

"Maybe." Tao Xihong turned his head to the window, trying to end the topic.

Although he has never mentioned his life experience to others, the students can also see that his family background is ordinary.Appearing in school in a sudden change of outfit will definitely attract criticism from the people around.

No matter how strong the ability to resist pressure is, Tao Xihong still cannot face such remarks calmly, and it will kill the relationship between the two of them.

Similarly, Xu Jiangtong also considered this point.He knows that people's words are scary, but he still can't accept that Tao Xihong's life can't be improved even though he can do everything he can.

The two walked back home without a word.As soon as Xu Jiangtong sat down on the sofa, Tao Xihong rushed over eagerly.

Xu Jiangtong pressed his hand: "Let's talk about business first."

Tao Xihong withdrew his paw resentfully, and muttered softly, "I just can't accept that suddenly someone treats me so well. Taking your money will make our relationship look unequal."

"But for couples, the time spent with each other is far more valuable than personal wealth." Xu Jiangtong said as if standing on a podium to give a lecture, "Your care has made my life much easier, so I also want to change your life."

"You are still a student, and I help you financially out of identity considerations. If you really feel ashamed, you can pay me back after work." Xu Jiangtong clapped his hands as he said, "If If you can love for a lifetime, what does it matter if you wait for a few years? It's just a short period of time in a long life."

He held Tao Xihong's hand, but the temperature burned to his face.He clasped Xu Jiangtong's hand under his palm, feeling a little embarrassed: "Teacher, you really know how to talk."

"So, am I clear?"

"Of course." Tao Xihong quickly leaned over and pecked him lightly on the cheek, "Thank you, Teacher Xiao Jiang."

Xu Jiangtong pulled out his hand, took out a computer from the study, and put it on the table: "This is an old computer I bought four years ago. Because the memory is too small, I can't run the software I want to use, but it is more than enough for homework. Yes. Do you need it?"

Tao Xihong's next semester is almost full, and he signed up for a business competition in order to get a scholarship. He has to train at night, so he basically has no time to go to the library.

This will indeed be much more convenient.Tao Xihong was moved, leaned over to open the computer cover, and found that there was still a faint fragrance on the keyboard, just like the smell of Xu Jiangtong's body.

Immediately, the cold feeling of being hit by money disappeared, and Tao Xihong happily wrapped his arms around Xu Jiangtong's neck: "Mr. Xiao Jiang, why does your computer even have a scent?"

Xu Jiangtong was puzzled: "This is the smell of dehumidifier."

"I don't care." Tao Xihong sniffed his nose vigorously, "Everything from my wife smells good."

Xu Jiangtong turned his head away and coughed a few times.Tao Xihong looked around and was attracted by the treadmill behind the screen.

"Mr. Xiaojiang, I want to run for a while."

"Go." Xu Jiangtong waved to him.

"Not together?"

Xu Jiangtong has already lay back on the sofa: "I don't want to move today."

"Don't want to move?" Tao Xihong raised his eyebrows slyly, "Then rest well first, and let you move enough later."

Xu Jiangtong raised his eyes angrily and snorted resentfully.Seeing the tattered pair of sneakers on Tao Xihong's feet, he tentatively said, "Xiao Tao, let's go shopping for shoes together when the new spring models come out. Running shoes are not only practical, but also not obvious."

Tao Xihong heard that he was taking care of his feelings, and couldn't help feeling: "Mr. Xiao Jiang, you are so kind to me."

Xu Jiangtong picked up a book casually, flipped through a few pages, and slightly pursed the corners of his mouth.

The heating in the room was like a steamer, and the sweat quickly soaked his hair. In the end, Tao Xihong couldn't help tearing off his short sleeves.

After jogging for five kilometers, the muscles are in a relaxed state, which is when the body is most active.Xu Jiangtong saw him walking towards him shaking his head full of sweat, and before he had time to put the book away, he was thrown down on the sofa by a ball of hot air.

Tao Xihong was wearing a washed-out sweat vest, the fabric was soaked in sweat and stuck to his chest, showing off everything that belonged to him without hesitation.

Beads of sweat dripped down Xu Jiangtong's face from his hair.Tao Xihong raised his sticky hands, along the contours of his face, wiped away the sweat little by little, and stroked his ears, scratched his Adam's apple, and hooked the obstructive button above his collarbone.

Like a newly grown lion cub, he marks his territory solemnly and gracefully.

The huge heat source confused Xu Jiangtong's body sensation, as if he had returned to the summer when he was 18 years old.

During that summer vacation, he came to the suburbs alone and rented a simple bungalow.In a studio mixed with dust, sawdust and turpentine, he took off his shirt and daubed the canvas without restraint.

He heard the lingering voices of the couple upstairs, the creaking and shaking of the wooden bed, the people outside the house talking with a strong accent, and the dull crash of equipment in the road construction in the further blocks.

But Xu Jiangtong didn't think these voices were a sign of dilapidation.

Here, he doesn't need to deliberately modify himself, as long as he closes his eyes, the world can be included in his paintings.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw Tao Xihong.The boy's bright eyes were hidden behind his hair, like the broken shadows cast by the moon on the ground, and he also tried his best to stand up and respond to this primitive beauty.

Tao Xihong is the same as the summer at that time, simple, beautiful and enthusiastic.
