Tao Wan brought the dishes to the table and the two people quietly finished their dinner. Du Yi offered to help wash the dishes, but Tao Wan refused and told him to hurry up and do his homework.
Du Yi was a boy who was not even ten years old. He used to be a pampered young master. He lived with the original owner for less than a year, but he seemed to have grown up a lot and became very sensible.
It was not because the original owner was not good to him. The original owner's personality was cold to everyone. Although he didn't have much to say to this half-brother of his, he had never given him any face or scolded him.
After the original owner's mother passed away, his father remarried and gave birth to Du Yi with the original owner's stepmother. This stepmother passed away two years ago because of an accident. The original owner's father was a little superstitious. He felt that he had jinxed his wife, so he did not plan on remarrying. However, although he did not plan on remarrying, he jinxed himself to death. Because of the failure of his business, he went bankrupt and was diagnosed with a terminal illness. He did not leave anything for his two sons and passed away like this.
Before the original owner's father died, he asked the original owner to take care of his little brother. The original owner promised that he would take care of him personally and would not give him to others to raise. The original owner's father then passed away in peace. The original owner felt that his father had raised him up and treated him very well. He did not have time to repay his father's kindness before he passed away. So he took care of his half brother in his father's stead. Just treat it as repaying his father's kindness.
Although his little brother looked like a healthy child, he actually had a serious heart disease. Usually, he could not leave his medicine.
The original owner not only had to find a way to pay school fees, he also had to live and buy medicine for his little brother. The pressure was very big. In the face of Xu Shaoyan's seemingly caring but actually provocative actions and words, the original owner was able to hold back and not expose him. He could be considered a very saintly person. But Tao Wan was not like this. If anyone dared to make things difficult for him, he would repay them double.
Tao Wan finished washing the dishes and cleaning the room. He walked into the room and closed the door. After lying down on the bed, he closed his eyes and opened the system. He looked at the bare peach blossom branch in the system. There was only a little bud on it. He sighed, wondering how long it would take for this peach blossom branch to be filled with peach blossoms.
Before Tao Wan crossed over, in his original world, he was an actor who had just graduated from a film school. He was only two or three years older than the original owner.
He had just won the Best Newcomer Award. When he returned home after the award ceremony, he suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. He got up and wanted to drink a cup of water to calm his nerves, but he found that the peach blossom tree in the backyard of his house had bloomed brilliantly overnight. It was not the season for peach blossoms.
Tao Wan walked into the yard, puzzled. He stood under the peach tree and looked up. He thought to himself, "This peach tree has been planted for so many years, but it has never bloomed. Could it have become a spirit?" Otherwise, why would it bloom overnight?
Just as he was wondering, a peach blossom suddenly fell down and smashed into his forehead. Then, his vision turned black and he fainted just like that. Before he completely lost consciousness, he was still thinking that he had been knocked out by a peach blossom …
When he woke up again, he was not on his bed, nor was he in the hospital. Instead, he was in an illusory and formless space.
A voice told him that he had been smashed by the Peach Blossom System and that he would be the owner of the Peach Blossom System from now on. As long as he could make that peach blossom branch bloom with peach blossoms, he would be able to have the Peach Blossom System forever. Furthermore, he would be able to cultivate to become an immortal.
The way to make the peach blossom branch bloom with peach blossoms was to go to a different world and develop a relationship. As long as the relationship was complete, a peach blossom would bloom.
Tao Wan had no interest in immortality or cultivating to become an immortal. He felt that it was a dream that only ancient emperors had. As a modern person, he wanted to do what he wanted to do and then live a peaceful life for a few decades. What was so fun about immortality?
However, the Peach Blossom System told him that he had disappeared from his original world and could never return. If he did not go to a different world to complete missions, he would have to stay in the system forever. However, in the system, he would not age or die. It was up to him.
Tao Wan did not know how long he had been in the system. It might have been a short time, or it might have been a long time. In any case, he was so bored that he could not stay any longer. He felt that he was about to go moldy. Other than the moving space and a bare peach blossom branch in the system, there was nothing else.
The system told him that if he did not go to a different world, he could not activate any of the system's functions.
Tao Wan felt that after looking at the peach blossom branch for a long time, its bare appearance was very pitiful. It made him feel very sad. Hence, he thought that since he would only be bored to the point of going moldy in the system, he might as well follow the system's instructions and go to a different world to complete missions. Then, he would let the peach blossom branch bloom with peach blossoms and leave the system space.
He felt that since he was a professional actor, he might as well treat every world as a movie. Then, he would participate in the movie and hone his acting skills. After thinking about it this way, Tao Wan began to look forward to going to a different world to complete missions.
The sky was about to darken. Tao Wan got out of bed. After taking a shower and changing his clothes, he told Du Yi that he could read or watch TV at home, but he could not go out alone. He had to go out to work.
Du Yi obediently agreed and sent Tao Wan out the door. After watching him get into the elevator, he closed the door.
The place where the original owner worked was an ancient tea house. It covered a large area and had five or six courtyards of different grades. It was specially provided for guests to drink tea and listen to the zither. The original owner's job here was to play the zither for the guests.
"Manager Wu." Tao Wan was about to go to the changing room when he saw the manager coming out of the lounge. He greeted him.
"You're here, Qing Yu." Manager Wu looked at Tao Wan. He thought for a moment and said, "Today is your last day playing the zither. I know you're short on money right now, but you offended Boss Zhang. I can't let you stay here any longer. Otherwise, the next time he comes and sees that you're still here, he might find trouble with you again. It'll be difficult for us. "
"I know. I won't make it difficult for you. After today, I'll find another place." Tao Wan said.
Manager Wu nodded. "I'll give you more of this week's salary. Your father used to be a regular here. For his sake, I'll give you a little more tip. "
"Thank you, Manager Wu. I don't like to owe people favors." Tao Wan said, "You don't have to worry about me. I'll find a new job soon."
"You're such a stubborn child." Manager Wu said helplessly, "Look at you. Boss Zhang is a bit of a jerk, but he just touched your hand. It'll be over after a while. You splashed water on his face. Fortunately, it wasn't hot water. Otherwise, you'd be in big trouble."
"I thought that people who come to the tea house to drink tea, no matter how dirty their hearts are, should at least behave properly on the surface. People like Boss Zhang should go to those kinds of hotels to pass the time, not to the tea house. The tea house can't satisfy his desires. "
"Boss Zhang is a famous pervert. He rarely comes here to drink tea. Usually, he comes with customers. But when he comes here, he's already restrained himself." Manager Wu looked at his delicate facial features and tender skin. "It's probably because you're too good-looking that he couldn't control himself. He also didn't think that you would dare to splash water on him. It's just a touch. Most people will tolerate it. "
"I'm sorry, Manager Wu. I've troubled you." Although Tao Wan said this, he knew very well that Boss Zhang did have a desire for the original owner. But he deliberately touched him in a place like the tea house to provoke him. The reason why he did that was because someone had ordered him to do it. That person was Xu Shaoyan's boyfriend, Liu Xiujie.
"It's already happened. There's no need to say these words. But in the future, you should change your temper." Manager Wu sighed, shook his head and left.
Tao Wan went to the dressing room to change clothes. After changing, he stood in front of the dressing mirror and tidied up. Looking at his face in the mirror, Tao Wan also felt that such a peach blossom face would attract the desires of those perverts. The original owner had received many hints that people wanted to keep him. Some people even went to the manager and directly said that they wanted to keep him. But the original owner fiercely refused.
The courtyard where the original owner played the zither was in this tea house. The expenses were lower than the other courtyards, so it was a large room that could seat ten to twenty tables. High-grade private rooms were generally invited to senior zither players. The price was also quite expensive.
The original owner's zither skills were not bad, so he could enter this tea house to play. But compared to a real master, his zither skills were still very far away.
Tao Yuan sat cross-legged in front of the screen. He was dressed in an ancient costume with a white base and sleeves, which looked very elegant. It made his peach blossom face even more charming and outstanding, making people unable to take their eyes off him.
Although the original owner's zither skills were lacking, Tao Wan had the system. It was not difficult for him to play at the level of a master.
He used his fingers to pluck the strings. The simple and melodious sound of the zither came out. Not long after, it was like a cool breeze suddenly blew, and a clear spring was drawn into the heart. Sitting in the room, those who pretended to be elegant suddenly felt that they had finally learned to listen to the zither. They really became elegant.
The old customers who used to only care about admiring the original owner's face could not help but close their eyes at this time, feeling the trickle of the zither, as well as the cool breeze and the bright moon. As if in an instant, the impetuousness in their hearts calmed down. The pressure and fatigue of the day slowly receded. Even the tea on the table became more attractive.
Manager Wu personally came to the entrance of the tea house and welcomed the guests inside. He chatted and laughed with them as he led them inside. One of the guests suddenly stopped in his tracks. The others also stopped and looked at him in confusion.
"Boss Chen?" Manager Wu called out in confusion.
Boss Chen raised his hand to stop Manager Wu from speaking. He carefully identified the direction of the sound. His hearing was shockingly good. He could often hear sounds from very far away. So he was very sure that the melodious zither sound that was faintly entering his ears was not his imagination.
Boss Chen did not speak and suddenly walked in the direction of the sound.
The others looked at each other, and with a puzzled heart, they hurriedly followed him. Boss Chen was the main character tonight. It was not easy for them to invite him here. Of course, wherever he went, they would follow.
"Boss Chen … Fufeng Courtyard is this way. Where … where are you going?" Before Manager Wu could finish his words, the guests had already left. He had no choice but to catch up with them.
The zither sound became clearer and clearer. Boss Chen could not help but quicken his steps.
After the others heard the zither sound, they finally understood why Boss Chen insisted on walking in this direction. Boss Chen was famous for being a zither fanatic and having good hearing.
In order not to disturb the others, they quietly walked in and sat down at an empty table.
Manager Wu quickly asked someone to serve tea. Then, he stood behind and waited for them to finish listening before taking them to the prepared private room.
These were all big bosses. Among them, Boss Chen was the oldest. He was almost 50 years old. Although the others were only a few years younger than him, in terms of background and business, they were far from President Chen's. Therefore, the few of them worked together to invite Boss Chen. They wanted to please him.
They started listening to the zither from the second half. The mellow and continuous zither music still made them feel that it was melodious and pleasing to the ears. These were all people who truly knew how to play the zither. Before they came in, they thought that the person playing the zither must be a high-level zither player. High-level zither players were usually not young.
After seeing Tao Wan's fair and young face, they were surprised. At the same time, they could not help but sigh in their hearts. It was really rare to have such good zither skills at such a young age.
Manager Wu was also very surprised. He thought to himself, when did Du Qingyu's zither skills improve by leaps and bounds to such an extent? He also guessed in his heart that he might have hidden his zither skills before. Because he could not play the zither after tonight, he showed his true skills.
After the song ended, Tao Wan retracted his hands. After sitting quietly for a few seconds, he got up and left through the door behind the screen.
"Shaoyan, happy birthday." Several female classmates walked in together and put their gifts on Xu Shaoyan's table.
"Thank you." Xu Shaoyan smiled and thanked them.
"Happy birthday. This is a gift for you." Another male classmate walked in and put a gift on his table.
"Thank you."
"Happy birthday, Shaoyan."
"Thank you."
After the last incident, although Xu Shaoyan's bad reputation had spread, it did not affect the class much. This was because these classmates had benefited from him. Moreover, they felt that based on their usual interactions, they were more willing to believe that Xu Shaoyan was a good person.
Xu Shaoyan told them that those things were done by his family behind his back. If he had known, he would not have agreed. He also felt very guilty, and then the classmates believed him.
Xu Shaoyan would give a gift to each of his classmates on their birthdays. Today was his birthday, so the other classmates also gave him gifts in return. He just liked to enjoy the feeling of being welcomed by everyone.
"What gift did your boyfriend give you today?" The girl sitting behind Xu Shaoyan whispered. The other classmates also looked at him, waiting for his answer. Because the class had not started yet, they could not help but gossip.
"He didn't tell me. He said it was a surprise for me." Xu Shaoyan said with a smile.
Liu Xiujie had asked him what gift he wanted. He said he hoped that he could give him a surprise, so Liu Xiujie arranged it himself.
"What gift will it be?" A girl said. "There must be something like a candlelight dinner, right? It's so romantic just thinking about it. "
"You must tell us tomorrow. What surprise did he give you?" Another girl said.
Xu Shaoyan looked at them with a smile.
Tao Wan stayed out of it. Because he was bored, he looked at the scenery outside the window in a daze.
After the class, when the teacher left the classroom, the students also packed up their things and walked out of the classroom one after another.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. A girl ran back and stood at the door of the classroom. She lowered her voice and said excitedly, "Shaoyan, come and see!"
Xu Shaoyan was stunned. Seeing her excited expression, he did not even take the painting box and walked out quickly.
Xu Shaoyan stood in the corridor and looked down. Next to the flower bed below, there was a rose fragrance car.
The so-called rose fragrance car was filled with perfumed roses and a small rotating fountain. It was a very luxurious way to send flowers.
"Look, look, there's a rose fragrance car. It's so beautiful!"
"It's so romantic! Who is it for? "
"It's really a rose fragrance car. I've only seen it on TV. I heard that it's very expensive. I can't believe I can see it in real life!"
"I've only seen it when celebrities proposed to rich people. Is someone proposing?"
"Who is it? Who is it? Why hasn't he shown up yet? "
The students who had finished class stopped when they saw the rose fragrance car. They all stood not far away to watch, waiting to see who would sign for this super luxurious rose fragrance car.
"Shaoyan, is this a surprise from your boyfriend?" The girl looked at Xu Shaoyan excitedly.
"Well, it should be." Xu Shaoyan could not help but smile. Today was his birthday. Liu Xiujie promised to give him a surprise. Until now, no one had signed for it. So it should be for him.
"Then quickly sign for it and give me a bouquet of roses, okay?" The girl grabbed Xu Shaoyan's arm and asked.
"I'll go downstairs and sign for it first." Xu Shaoyan walked downstairs quickly.
Xu Shaoyan went downstairs and looked at the rose fragrance car in front of him. He felt it was more beautiful and luxurious when he looked at it closely. It was a European-style carriage with at least hundreds of roses on it. The carriage was made of metal and looked like it was plated with gold. There was also a luxurious revolving fountain above, spraying fine splashes of water. People who were far away could smell the pleasant fragrance of roses.
Most of the students in the National Academy were from rich families. Because the tuition was very expensive, it was difficult for ordinary families to afford it. But even these children with families rarely had the chance to see the Rose Fragrance Carriage, because it was not something that could be bought with money.
The roses on the rose fragrance car not only had a tempting sweet smell, but also had golden patterns. This kind of rose was very difficult to cultivate. The number of roses that grew every year was very limited. It was said that the rarer something was, the more expensive it was. This kind of rose was expensive because of its scarcity.
Xu Shaoyan was excited and walked step by step to the delivery man. Although Liu Xiujie promised to give him a surprise, he did not expect him to be so generous. Even if he was trying to make Du Qingyu jealous, his happiness didn't diminish in the slightest.
"Hello." Xu Shaoyan walked to the front of a delivery man.
The delivery man looked at his face. "What's the matter, classmate?"
"I'm here to sign for the rose fragrance car." Xu Shaoyan said.
When the students saw him signing for the rose fragrance car, they discussed excitedly.
"Is it him? Is the rose fragrance car for him? "
"It should be him. Otherwise, why would he go to sign for it?"
"Ah, ah, ah! I'm so envious! "
"I'm in the same class as him. It's his birthday today. His boyfriend said that he wanted to give him a surprise. The rose fragrance car must be for him."
The praises and envious voices around him greatly satisfied Xu Shaoyan's vanity.
"Are you Du Qingyu?" The delivery man thought to himself. Why does he look different from the photo? Then, he lowered his head to look at the photo in his hand.
When he heard the three words "Du Qingyu", Xu Shaoyan immediately froze. He did not know how to react at all.
"I'm sorry, classmate. You don't seem to be Du Qingyu, right?" The delivery man carefully compared the photo in the information and found that the person in front of him was completely different. "Our rose fragrance car has to be signed by the person in question."
Seeing that Xu Shaoyan was frozen and did not move, the delivery man waved his hand in front of his eyes. "Classmate?"
Tao Wan unhurriedly packed up his things and walked out of the classroom slowly. He walked slowly downstairs, expressionless the entire time.
Another delivery man beside him, who had been paying attention to the staircase, patted his companion's shoulder and said, "The person going downstairs over there should be Du Qingyu. Hurry up and confirm it."
The delivery man walked around Xu Shaoyan and jogged to Tao Wan. He asked, "Excuse me, are you Du Qingyu?"
Tao Wan looked up at the person in front of him and asked expressionlessly, "What's the matter?"
"We are delivery men from Rose International. Here is a rose fragrance car for you. Please sign for it."
The delivery man turned sideways, and Tao Wan saw the rose fragrance car not far away. It was quite a visual impact. He asked curiously, "Who is this from?"
"There's a bouquet of golden roses over there. There's a card on it. You'll know who sent it after you see it," the delivery man said.
Tao Wan bit his lips. He was a little worried. What if it wasn't the person he was thinking of? He had gained a lot of rich fans recently. They all wanted to buy his paintings and get close to him.
Tao Wan still decided to see who sent it, so he walked over. When he passed by Xu Shaoyan, he looked at him curiously. He didn't know why he was standing there so straight.
Tao Wan took the golden roses. It was quite heavy in his hand. He took off the card and saw Wei Shicheng's name on it. He couldn't help but smile.
He put the card in his backpack. There was a love poem on it. He was going to read it when he got back. Tao Wan continued to ask with a straight face, "Where do I sign?"
"You just need to sign your name on this tablet computer and this bill of goods," the dispatcher said.
"So it's for him. He's so lucky. Someone actually gave him a rose fragrance car."
"Why did the person in front run over there? It's not for him. It's too awkward for him to stand there. "
"It's really awkward. He probably thinks it's for him."
"Who's that person? Why does he think it's for him? Did he get tricked? "
