ML Chapter 12

This scene was really headache inducing. Tao Xiao couldn’t help but raise his hand to press his forehead and secretly grinned.

 

Zhou Yamin was stunned for a while, looked at Tao Xiao suspiciously, frowned slightly, and then quickly relaxed, smiled and said to Shen Qiaohan: “Why are you here? Otherwise, come to our bar and sit down? It’s not open yet, it’s quite quiet inside!”

 

Shen Qiaohan said nothing, glanced at Tao Xiao who was reluctant next to him, and said: “No, I have something to do, let’s meet again another day.”

 

Zhou Yamin was just being polite, and when he heard him refuse, he didn’t think much, and nodded with a smile: “Okay, when are you free, let’s make an appointment again!”

 

Shen Qiaohan nodded slightly, raised the car window, and the special car drove away quickly.

 

There was no one else present, Zhou Yamin’s face immediately stretched long, turned his head to look at Tao Xiao, and there was no suppression of anger in his eyes.

 

“Oh, you’ve become more capable.” He gritted his teeth, “Did you ask for Shen Qiaohan’s phone number or add him on WeChat at the hospital? You didn’t go to get together with him just to piss me off, did you?”

 

He stretched out his hand and tugged at Tao Xiao’s collar, “Hey, you’re dressed like a decent person, who are you trying to seduce?”

 

Tao Xiao had guessed that Zhou Yamin would ask this, but when he really heard this, he couldn’t help but feel a little sad.

 

He didn’t say anything, just lowered his eyes, intending to listen to whatever Zhou Yamin said.

 

Seeing that Tao Xiao didn’t deny it, Zhou Yamin’s anger rose in his heart: “I say, are you a cheap person! Who is Shen Qiaohan? Who are you? How dare you go to him? Ah? I tell you, he only talked to you for my sake! Do you really think he likes you?”

 

From Tao Xiao’s expression and Shen Qiaohan’s performance just now, he could see that nothing should have happened between the two of them last night. At most, Shen Qiaohan just let Tao Xiao stay at home for one night.

 

Thinking of this, Zhou Yamin couldn’t help but curse, and then snorted and laughed, but his tone gradually softened: “Well, it’s my fault too, I shouldn’t have let Xiao Rui come to the bar to find me. I know you’ve been in a bad mood recently and can’t stand stimulation, but if you’re angry, you can beat me or scold me, just don’t bother Shen Qiaohan…”

 

Tao Xiao didn’t say anything.

 

Every time he responded to Zhou Yamin’s scolding with silence, it meant that he didn’t think he did anything wrong. This habit was known to everyone around him.

 

So, seeing that he didn’t say a word, Zhou Yamin also understood that he didn’t want to admit his mistakes and give in.

 

Zhou Yamin had a bad temper, but he really couldn’t bear to do anything cruel to Tao Xiao. After all, they were buddies who had been together for five years, and he couldn’t really beat someone up for Shen Qiaohan.

 

At this time, the anger in his heart couldn’t be extinguished, but he had no choice. In the end, he could only reach out his hand and rub Tao Xiao’s head hard.

 

“Hey, you’re so pissed off!” He hooked his arm around Tao Xiao’s neck and pulled him to his side. “You didn’t tell Shen Qiaohan about me, did you? Ah?”

 

Hearing this, Tao Xiao knew that the matter was over. Zhou Yamin would not continue to ask questions. The secret of his soul swap with Shen Qiaohan was hidden.

 

Tao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Zhou Yamin: “I don’t say a few words to him, why would I say bad things to him…”

 

Of course, Zhou Yamin sold himself out during the soul swap, which was not his problem.

 

As for Zhou Yamin’s suspicion and reprimand, to be honest, Tao Xiao had seen a lot and basically didn’t take it to heart. The group of buddies in the bar had a close relationship. They would stab each other, scold each other, and dislike each other whenever they had something to do. When they were drunk, they would even poke at each other’s heart, but it didn’t affect their friendship.

 

It’s better to vent your anger in front of others than to do something behind their backs.

 

“Wait a minute,” Zhou Yamin suddenly raised his voice again, stretched out his hand to grab Tao Xiao’s wrist, and pulled it in front of his eyes, “What is this? Oh, you went to the amusement park? You are rich now!”

 

On the back of Tao Xiao’s hand, there was a stamp of the Yanhu Amusement Park bungee tower.

 

Tao Xiao: … Oops, I forgot that I haven’t wiped this thing off.

 

His mind was working fast, and he made up a lie with a calm face: “I was in a bad mood. I said I wanted to go to the amusement park this morning, and he accompanied me… I guess he also wanted to find inspiration for writing songs.”

 

Zhou Yamin slapped Tao Xiao on the back of the head, “Tsk”, “You are really a character! Is that what he calls writing songs? It’s artistic creation!”

 

Tao Xiao scratched his hair and smiled, pretending to be stupid: “Isn’t it that I am not knowledgeable…”

 

“Okay, you know it too.” Zhou Yamin sneered, “You go back to the dormitory, I have something else to do, I’m leaving.”

 

Watching Zhou Yamin leave, Tao Xiao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

 

Well, the soul swap problem was solved, and everything was back on track. Just think of it as having fainted and dreamed for the past two days, and it didn’t matter.

 

Tao Xiao walked back to the dormitory slowly, just in time for everyone to get a full discount for lunch. He casually ordered a bowl of chopped pepper, bamboo shoots and shredded pork rice – Shen Qiaohan’s taste was too bland. Since yesterday’s lunch, there was no spicy food in dinner and breakfast, and his mouth was almost choking.

 

After placing the order, Wang Jie glanced at Tao Xiao and asked, “Did you just meet Yamin at the door?”

 

Tao Xiao was stunned: “How did you know?”

 

Wang Jie smiled and said, “If you didn’t see Yamin when you came back, you would have asked us where he went. You didn’t ask, so you must have seen him and known that he won’t eat with us at noon.”

 

Tao Xiao didn’t comment, paused, and asked, “Did he go out with Li Yanrui again?”

 

Wang Jie nodded.

 

Tao Xiao didn’t say anything, got up and took off Jason’s shirt, then opened the closet, and took out his own T-shirt.

 

Jason said casually, “Please throw it in the washing machine for me.”

 

Tao Xiao responded and found the yellow amulet bag that Shen Qiaohan had mentioned in the corner of the closet.

 

The small purse contained a talisman paper folded into a square. The talisman was painted with cinnabar and the words on it were completely unrecognizable. It felt… nothing magical.

 

Tao Xiao curled him lips, thinking that his mother must have been deceived by the temple. If a piece of paper could lead to a good marriage, there would probably not be so many people in the world getting divorced or having love murders.

 

But Tao Xiao didn’t throw away the talisman in the end. After thinking for a while, he raised his hand and pulled down the pillow on his bed, stuffed the talisman in, and threw it back on the bed.

 

“It seems that there are a few clothes in the washing machine.” Xu Lei was playing games on his mobile phone, and said, “Taozi, if it’s almost done, wash it.”

 

“Oh.” Tao Xiao picked up Jason’s shirt, picked up a few scattered clothes from the top of the cabinet and the bed frame, took them into the bathroom together, and didn’t seperate by color, but stuffed them all into the washing machine.

 

~~~

 

“Hello, these are the clothes you sent for washing, please check and confirm.”

 

In the laundry shop, the service staff smiled and handed two clothes to Shen Qiaohan politely.

 

A suit and a silk shirt were placed in a transparent dust bag. Each button was carefully wrapped with translucent paper. The neck of the hanger was printed with the logo of the laundry shop. The hanger was a gift for washing clothes here. Although it was not exquisite, it was a wide-shouldered model with rounded curves, which would not cause bulges on the shoulders of the clothes.

 

After taking out the clothes and carefully checking them, Shen Qiaohan said that there was no problem. The waiter patiently put the dust bag back on.

 

This laundry shop was just downstairs from Shen Qiaohan’s community, which was very convenient. Shen Qiaohan walked home, hung up the clothes, and started to prepare lunch.

 

There were not many fresh vegetables left in the refrigerator. Due to the unexpected hospitalization, the few green leafy vegetables reserved were not eaten in time. They were a little wilted and did not look very fresh.

 

Shen Qiaohan frowned, took them all out, threw them into the trash can, and took out two corns and a piece of beef brain, preparing to have a simple steak for lunch. He thought he would go to the supermarket before dinner and buy some vegetables.

 

He has been living alone since returning to China. There is no aunt at home, so he has to worry about everything by himself, which sometimes makes him feel troublesome.

 

After a simple meal, Shen Qiaohan took the sheet music book, sat in front of the piano, turned on his mobile phone, listened to the recordings in it several times, and began to play and modify them on the piano.

 

After playing several times and modifying a few details, Shen Qiaohan suddenly closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

 

After a long time, he opened his eyes and sighed dejectedly.

 

It still doesn’t work.

 

Although he recorded the inspiration with his mobile phone at the time, the emotion at that time had long disappeared, just like holding a handful of fine sand in his hand. The more he wanted to hold them tightly, the more they flowed away.

 

Shen Qiaohan looked at the music score he recorded in the book, and felt that all the notes seemed to have lost their life, and it was completely impossible to interpret what he felt at the time.

 

Could it be… I need to go bungee jumping again?

 

As soon as this thought came to mind, Shen Qiaohan immediately shook his head.

 

No, the key is not bungee jumping, but… a smiling face suddenly appeared in his mind, the facial features blurred, but the eyes lit up by the smile were shining, as if they could illuminate everything, dispel the haze, and make anyone full of vitality and incomparably brilliant.

 

Shen Qiaohan couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth, revealing a rare smile.

 

He closed the sheet music, paused his composition, raised his hand and pressed a series of notes on the piano keys, and began to practice playing other music scores.

 

~~~

 

“Top Road Tower Top Road Tower! It’s going to fall! Someone, come!”

 

Tao Xiao spread his legs and lay on the bed in a straight line, holding his phone and playing games.

 

There were pop songs playing in the dormitory, and he swayed unconsciously to the rhythm, his waist was as soft as a snake, and the wooden boards of the low-quality bunk bed creaked under the pressure.

 

On the lower bunk, Wang Xiaobin rolled his eyes, raised his hand and punched the bed board: “You have ADHD, you can’t even play games properly!”

 

Then he turned his head and shouted at Jason: “Turn off your song, Tao Xiao is a cobra, he twitches when he hears music.”

 

Hearing this description, Tao Xiao laughed, retracted one leg and crossed it in front of him, bent forward and lay on the edge of the bed, and smiled: “How fresh! If I didn’t have this talent, I wouldn’t be able to do this job!”
