half thorns, half joy

Tang Xuan was stunned. Before she had time to say anything, she saw Xiao Zihan enter the bathroom.

So, does Xiao Zihan's words have other meanings?
Is it...

Tang Xuan shook her head in embarrassment, threw out all her wild thoughts, quickly climbed onto the bed, and got under the covers.

Listening to the sound of dripping water in the bathroom, her heart was in a mess.

"Sister Qianqian..." Tang Xuan murmured, her eyes gradually becoming moist.Although she is much more rational and calm than her peers, in the final analysis, she is just a girl in her early twenties.

Also like everyone else, make mistakes, regret, and be vulnerable.

Tang Xuan sniffed, wiped away her tears, and forced herself to close her eyes to sleep.She's been through a lot tonight and doesn't want to go through anything else.

Xiao Zihan turned off the shower, wiped his body clean, and left the bathroom.

On the big bed, Tang Xuan was sleeping on the other side, with her back facing him, as if she had fallen asleep.

Xiao Zihan couldn't help but lighten his steps, and stood at the foot of the bed. While wiping his hair, he stared at Tang Xuan's back on the bed in a daze.

She must be exhausted after a day of tossing around.Xiao Zihan thought to himself.

After wiping his hair, he lightly turned off the light, lifted the quilt and climbed onto the bed.The bed was big and the quilt was wide enough for him and Tang Xuan to sleep on one side.

But after Xiao Zihan lay quietly for a few seconds, he turned around and put his arms around Tang Xuan.

He can resist doing nothing, he can solve it by himself, but the person he likes is by his side, he can't pretend not to see it, and don't even hug him.

"Hmm... have you finished washing?" Tang Xuan was awakened by Xiao Zihan's movements, and turned her head to ask Xiao Zihan in a daze.

"After washing, go to sleep." With a hoarse voice, Xiao Zihan got up slightly and kissed Tang Xuan's forehead, his tone extremely gentle.

Tang Xuan didn't speak any more, and continued to fall asleep. After a while, there was the sound of long breathing.

Listening to the shallow breathing, Xiao Zihan also slowed down his own breathing.

Tang Xuan woke up early the next morning.

She yawned a lot, felt that there was a heavy weight on her body, and looked down to see an arm wrapped around her, and then she remembered her current situation.

Originally, she thought that she must not be able to fall asleep, but she did not expect to sleep so deeply.

As soon as Tang Xuan moved, Xiao Zihan opened his eyes.

"you're awake?"

Tang Xuan turned around and met Xiao Zihan. She bit her lip and nodded without saying a word.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Xiao Zihan asked again.

"It's good." Lying beside Xiao Zihan, Tang Xuan felt a little awkward. She sat up on the bed and pretended, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Xiao Zihan saw that Tang Xuan was uncomfortable, so naturally he didn't say much. He didn't slap himself on the forehead until Tang Xuan entered the bathroom and heard the sound of the bathroom door closing.

He didn't sleep all night.

The nerves were inexplicably excited in the first half of the night, and the second half of the night was over, and she couldn't fall asleep no matter what. When the sky was about to dawn, she finally felt sleepy, but Tang Xuan would wake up after thinking about it. Silk drowsiness was also scared away.

"Why are you acting like a brat?" Xiao Zihan patted his forehead, talking to himself bitterly.

At this time Tang Xuan came out of the bathroom and heard what Xiao Zihan was saying, so she asked, "What did you say?"

Xiao Zihan was startled by Tang Xuan's sudden voice. He looked up at Tang Xuan and saw that Tang Xuan was already dressed, so he asked sullenly, "Will you stop sleeping?"

"I usually start at this point." Tang Xuan smiled nonchalantly, "I see that this hotel provides breakfast. I'll go to the restaurant to buy breakfast. You can lie down later."

"I'll go with you." Xiao Zihan lifted the quilt and was about to get up.

Tang Xuan shook her head and stopped Xiao Zihan, "No need, I'll go alone. You don't seem to have slept well, so you can sleep again."

"...Okay then. My wallet is on the table, you can take the money."

"It's okay, I've brought the money."

Tang Xuan smiled and waved to Xiao Zihan, and went out to buy breakfast.

Xiao Zihan lay discouraged on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.After being dazed for a few seconds, he stood up abruptly and strode into the bathroom.

Sure enough, he saw two big dark circles under his eyes in the mirror.

Hey, we just got together and lost our image.

Xiao Zi beat his chest and stamped his feet coldly, sighed for a while and began to wash and tidy up. He had lost all appearance. He could no longer let Tang Xuan think that he was a lazy bastard who liked to stay in bed.

"Breakfast is here, are you up?"

Tang Xuan swiped the door card and entered the room. When she looked up, she saw Xiao Zihan standing in front of the window. Her hair was wet and seemed to have been styled.

Obviously, it was carefully cleaned up.

"Come and eat when you wake up." Tang Xuan thought it was cute, but she still held back her smile. She put the porridge and buns in her hand on the table and asked Xiao Zihan to eat them.

"Thank you." Xiao Zihan walked over to sit on the sofa, and ate face to face with Tang Xuan.

He noticed that Tang Xuan's eyes were full of smiles, and her mood immediately improved a lot.

When they were about to finish eating, Xiao Zihan told Tang Xuan that he had already contacted Cai Jinyu, and that Cai Jinyu would deliver the shoes in a short while.

"Huh? Can you tell him that the shoes I wear are size 37?" Tang Xuan asked.

Xiao Zihan leaned back on the sofa, "I forgot, I'll tell him now."

He was about to dial the phone when the doorbell rang suddenly.

Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan looked at each other, Xiao Zihan stood up, "I'll open the door."

Opening the door, Cai Jinyu stood outside with two shoe boxes.

"I was just about to contact you, come in quickly." Xiao Zihan turned sideways to let Cai Jinyu in, and said with emotion: "How long has it been, you are so fast."

Cai Jinyu poked his head around and looked inside, without turning his head, he replied casually, "Fortunately, I happen to be nearby."

"Nearby?" Xiao Zihan began to feel that something was wrong, "What are you doing nearby?"

Cai Jinyu didn't answer Xiao Zihan anymore. He coughed lightly, walked quickly to Tang Xuan, and stretched out his hand in a gentlemanly manner, "Hi, we meet again."

"...Hello." Second monk Tang Xuanzhang couldn't figure it out, so he could only get up and hold it.

Before he could grasp it, Xiao Zihan opened Cai Jinyu's hand, and sternly yelled at Cai Jinyu, "Speak well, what are you doing so weirdly?"

"Ahem, I'm excited, I'm excited." Cai Jinyu handed the shoes in his hand to Xiao Zihan, and looked at the bed with teary eyes.

Xiao Zihan knew what Cai Jinyu was thinking, but in front of Tang Xuan, he couldn't say any more words of reproach, so he could only warn Cai Jinyu with his eyes, took out the shoe from the shoe box, and handed it to Tang Xuan.

It was a pair of white sneakers, very similar to Tang Xuan's stolen pair.

Tang Xuan turned over and took a look at the size on the sole, she was a little surprised and said, "Size 37, the size is just right."

"I can tell what size shoes you wear just by looking at your height." Cai Jinyu chuckled, her eyes wandering.

Tang Xuan immediately looked at Cai Jinyu with admiration, "At my height, most girls wear a size 38. I didn't expect you to be able to guess so accurately."

"Hehe, hehe." Cai Jinyu smiled without saying a word.

"Thank you."

"it's okay no problem."

Tang Xuan lowered her head to put on her shoes, not caring about Cai Jinyu guessing the shoe size.But Xiao Zihan was different. With Cai Jinyu's speed and the right shoe size, he had already determined who that boring shoe thief was last night.
