"We're almost there. They greeted you when they got off the bus. You were sleeping soundly and didn't pay attention to them." Shen Mochen reached out and tucked the hair behind her ears, and then pinched her pink face.
, smiled and said: "You are so good at sleeping. You have slept for more than an hour from the time you got in the car to now."
"Haha——" Taozi yawned in an inconspicuous manner, looked into Shen Mochen's deep eyes, and whispered: "I've been playing all day and I'm so tired. Don't you feel tired?"
"It's okay." Shen Mochen replied calmly, turning to look out the window. There was already a familiar scenery on the roadside, "We're here, let's get off the car."
After getting off the bus, it felt as if she had returned to the bustling city from a paradise. Tao Zi raised her head and glanced at the gray night sky. There were only a few stars hidden in the thick night. The bright lights on the roadside were shining along the long road.
The long road winds far away, lighting up the city and illuminating a dark red night sky.
"It feels like I have suddenly returned to reality from a dream." Taozi looked up at the night sky and murmured.
Shen Mochen turned to look at her eyes full of disappointment, reached out and grabbed her little hand, pulled her towards home and said lightly: "This is where we live."
"Hey..." Taozi sighed softly, and suddenly began to envy the living environment of the ancients.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when the two of them got home. After entering, He Yue, who was mopping the floor, was startled when she saw the two of them. She threw away the mop and hurried forward, holding Tao Zi's little face and looking at it carefully for a long time.
, and then said sadly: "Why was it that when I went out in the morning, I was still a fair and tender little girl, and when I came back at night, I looked like an African refugee?"
"Ah?" Taozi was shocked by her words and hurriedly ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror. Uh... I feel okay... How can it be as serious as the godmother said?
It's just that I spent a whole day outside in the sun without applying sunscreen. My skin is slightly red, and it does look darker than before, but it's not to the level of an African refugee, right?
In the next two days, Taozi fully realized how prescient her godmother was and an intellectual woman in modern society.
She had just been exposed to the sun that day, and she didn't look very dark yet. It was just because the melanin had not yet had time to form and precipitate. Over the next two days, the redness on Taozi's face faded, and she was indeed several shades darker than before.
Just seeing Shen Mochen's fair skin return to normal after two days, Taozi once again lamented the injustice of God. Some people were smarter, more handsome, and more likable than her. Why should they even have whiter skin than hers?
For the remaining days of this summer vacation, Taozi stayed at home very resolutely. She didn't leave the door or take a step forward. She stayed in her small room for more than a month like an old hen hatching eggs. Finally, she regained her original fair-skinned appearance.
Face.
By the time she was officially released, Shen Mochen's military training activities for high school freshmen had already begun.
Taozi looked at Shen Mochen, who was wearing camouflage uniforms. The well-fitting military uniform made him look energetic and upright. But when he saw the military cap he was wearing, Taozi became amused. Three words came out of his mouth without thinking.
