half thorns, half joy

Xiao Zihan rushed all the way to the door of the office, but the moment his fingers touched the doorknob, he stopped abruptly.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and then slowly let it out. After several repetitions, he opened the door and walked in.

"You're back?" Tang Xuan raised her head to look at Xiao Zihan when she heard the movement.

Xiao Zihan hummed, afraid that the anger on his face would not be wiped away, so he turned his back to Tang Xuan and said, "I'm back."

Tang Xuan: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Xiao Zihan turned his head and smiled faintly at Tang Xuan, "It's nothing serious if my dad said something indifferent."

When Tang Xuan heard this, she immediately worried, "Your father told you? Because of me?"

Xiao Zihan: "No, my dad always likes to preach, and his attitude is actually pretty good today."

Tang Xuan: "I'm sorry...to trouble you."

Xiao Zihan cut it indifferently, thinking that luckily he didn't say what that bastard Xiao Yu said, otherwise Tang Xuan would probably die of pain.

"If it's troublesome for you, then you'd better give me a little more trouble of this kind. I can't wait for it."

Seeing that Xiao Zihan's expression improved a lot, Tang Xuan felt relieved. She handed Xiao Zihan the compiled and printed documents, "These are some project plans selected and sent up below. I have already sorted them out. Take a look."

"Okay." Xiao Zihan took it in his hand, walked over to sit at his desk, and carefully looked through it.

After all, this is in the company and still needs to work. You can't just leave your work aside because of a small incident. This is too irresponsible to the company.

Since there were not many things to do in the morning, Xiao Zihan had to attend an extra meeting in the evening to finish what he had to deal with. As Xiao Zihan's secretary, Tang Xuan was naturally duty-bound to accompany Xiao Zihan.

"Let's go, let's eat. I've been busy for a long time, and I'm hungry." Xiao Zihan turned off the computer, grabbed the suit from the back of the chair, and said to Tang Xuan.

"Well, let's go now." Tang Xuan also turned off the computer, and her men neatly tidied up the desk, and followed Xiao Zihan out the door.

The two had just got on the elevator and were about to go downstairs when Xiao Zihan's cell phone rang suddenly.

"This guy, you're not just sober now." Xiao Zihan looked at Cai Jinyu's name on the screen of the phone and complained, then answered the phone angrily, and let out a vicious hello.

"Zihan...have you eaten yet?" Tang Xuan was close enough to hear Cai Jinyu's voice.The air is like a gossamer, as if it is about to die.

Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan looked at each other, and said helplessly, "You don't think you haven't eaten all day, right?"

"Well... I woke up in the afternoon and didn't want to move. I thought you should have dinner after get off work, so I asked you to have dinner with me."

Listening to Cai Jinyu's grievances on the phone, Tang Xuan was speechless and sympathetic, so she said to Xiao Zihan, "Why don't you ask him to come to our house for dinner, and I'll make something lighter for him to eat."

Before Xiao Zihan sent the message, Cai Jinyu had already heard it, and his excited voice was much stronger, "Okay, okay, give me the address, and I'll drive there."

Since his girlfriend is so virtuous, Xiao Zihan has no reason to reject a good friend, but thinking of Cai Jinyu tossing himself to death the first night, his tone is still a bit fierce, "I can tell you, come here after you wash up, If you smell of alcohol, I won't let you in."

Tang Xuan couldn't help reminding, "Why don't you come and take a shower, he hasn't eaten all day, what if he faints from hypoglycemia while taking a shower?"

"Sister-in-law is right. I'll come over to do the laundry. Send me a text message for the address. I'll get up and get dressed now!" Cai Jinyu hung up the phone immediately after a series of words, as if she was afraid that Xiao Zihan would scold her again.

"This guy is really not quiet at all."

As usual, Tang Xuan asked Xiao Zihan to go to the supermarket to buy meat, and then walked back to buy vegetables from the vegetable supplier in front of her house.Considering that Cai Jinyu was coming, Tang Xuan specially bought a few more dishes and planned to cook a good dinner.

As soon as Tang Xuan entered the community with a plastic bag of fresh vegetables, she saw Cai Jinyu leaning on the iron gate. Cai Jinyu was like a gecko, and was about to merge with the gate.

"You're so fast?" Tang Xuan asked in surprise as she walked over quickly.

Seeing Tang Xuan, Cai Jinyu let go of the iron gate and barely stood up straight, shaking the car key in his hand, "We live quite close together, I drove here."

"Xiao Zihan went to buy meat, let's go up first." Tang Xuan took out the door card and opened the iron door, and thoughtfully said, "I'll get you something to eat first, you can take a hot bath after eating."

"Okay...thank you..." Cai Jinyu's moved eyes were tearful, like a big discarded pet dog.

Back home, Tang Xuan changed into her slippers, and told Cai Jinyu to sit on the sofa, then went to the kitchen to make a cup of oatmeal for Cai Jinyu, "Have a drink."

"Thank you." Cai Jinyu, who was usually domineering, seemed to have no other words in the dictionary except for these two words.

He knew in his heart that he had shown a lot of hostility towards Tang Xuan at the beginning. Tang Xuan was a very smart person, so he should have felt it.Logically speaking, even if Tang Xuan didn't taunt him this time, she would at least treat him lukewarm.

But what I didn't expect was that Tang Xuan was so gentle and caring.

Cai Jinyu is a picky and fussy person. He never drank something tasteless like oatmeal, but after Tang Xuan handed it to him, he wondered whether there was something or not. When he realized it, he had already drank it. Finished with a full glass.

"Sit down and have a rest. I'll put some bath water for you. You just woke up from a hangover, so you can take a hot bath to soothe yourself." Tang Xuan went into the bedroom to get a new bath towel and towel, stuffed them into Cai Jinyu's hands, and Turn around and go to the bathroom to fill the bath water.

With a mournful face, Cai Jinyu followed Tang Xuan like a child who has done something wrong. She stood blankly watching Tang Xuan put the water in the bathtub, then turned her head and said to him, "Okay, let's soak for a while. Go cook."

As an only child, Cai Jinyu's parents have been busy since he was a child. The servants at home always support him. He has very little experience of family affection. From the bottom of his heart, he is more eager for this kind of thing.

On the surface, he looks fearless as a playboy, but in fact there is a soft and fragile place in his heart.For example, if he believes that Xiao Zihan is a friend, he can always get along with Xiao Zihan as a good friend.

What Tang Xuan did at this moment, like a big sister, warmed his heart that had just been hurt. Inexplicably, a feeling called moving rose up in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Tang Xuan saw that Cai Jinyu was standing still, thinking that Xiao Zihan didn't come and Cai Jinyu was embarrassed, so she hurried out and said as she walked, "Zihan should be back soon, you wash first."

Before he finished speaking, he went out and closed the bathroom door.

Cai Jinyu came to her senses and wanted to say thank you sincerely, but Tang Xuan was no longer in the bathroom.

Tang Xuan didn't have any extra thoughts about Cai Jinyu, so she didn't have any scruples. After coming out of the bathroom, she went straight to the kitchen. She had to cook a few more dishes tonight, so she had to hurry up, otherwise the meal would last into the night .

Washing rice into the pot, peeling and chopping vegetables, Tang Xuan's knife skills became more and more proficient, and her craftsmanship became better and better.Actually, it's not that I can't afford to hire my aunt, it's just that Tang Xuan enjoys the process of cooking and eating by herself more and more, which makes her feel like home.

As soon as Tang Xuan finished chopping the vegetables, Xiao Zihan bought the meat and came back.As soon as he entered the room, he was about to change his slippers, when he lowered his head, he saw an extra pair of men's shoes.

"Jinyu is here already?" Xiao Zihan asked Tang Xuan.

"Yeah." Tang Xuan took the plastic bag from Xiao Zihan's hand and pouted towards the bathroom, "I made him a bowl of oatmeal and drank it. He's taking a shower right now. Go over and have a look."

Just as he was saying this, the bathroom door opened with a bang, and Cai Jinyu came out wrapped in a bath towel with her wet hair on her head.Seeing Xiao Zihan, he pulled the towel around his waist, and said to Xiao Zihan: "Zihan, you are back, find me some of your clothes to wear."

Cai Jinyu often works out and has an excellent figure. Those eight-pack abs and mermaid lines that attract girls are all available, which is especially eye-catching.

Just because he suddenly appeared and took a glance, Tang Xuan felt embarrassed, "I'm going to cook first, you two can talk."

Xiao Zihan lowered his face, walked over and grabbed Cai Jinyu's shoulder, and dragged Cai Jinyu into the bedroom. He didn't want Cai Jinyu to hang around with his upper body naked in front of Tang Xuan.

"Put it on!" Xiao Zihan opened his clothes and found two clothes and pants that he was most dissatisfied with, and slammed them on Cai Jinyu's head.

Cai Jinyu pulled it off and put it on without any temper at all, and said with a playful smile, "Zihan, I'm an injured person now, please treat me better."

"Injured people?" Xiao Zihan complained, "I think you are a mentally handicapped person. You slept all day today, what happened to the company?"

"Please leave, what else can I do."

Xiao Zihan: "You are working under your father's hands now, if you don't take it seriously, your father won't scold you?"

Cai Jinyu still had an indifferent face, "Just scold me, I'm broken in love, am I still afraid of others scolding me, I'm not afraid of anything now, how do you say that, my heart is dead, I'm still afraid What, I have nothing to fear now!"

For Cai Jinyu's muddy attitude, Xiao Zihan sneered, "Isn't it just a lovelorn? Is it necessary to make it look like you can't live?"

Cai Jinyu sat on the bed with her legs folded, and looked sideways at Xiao Zihan: "Really? Have you forgotten all the stupid things you did when you broke up with my sister?"

Xiao Zihan was displeased, and retorted for himself: "At that time, I was too young, ignorant, and impulsive. If you compare my teens with your twenties, are you okay?"

"Okay, okay, let's not say you are a teenager. Let's use an analogy. If Tang Xuan dumped you, I bet you would be more depraved and depressed than me. Do you believe it?"

Cai Jinyu's tone was joking, but Xiao Zihan's face turned completely dark when he heard it. He frowned and warned Cai Jinyu solemnly: "I don't like this analogy."

"Look, look, you just don't want to imagine the possibility of breaking up. I really broke up, so you can put yourself in my shoes and sympathize with me, don't act like you despise me." Cai Jinyu said , lay sprawled on the bed, looked up at the ceiling, and said with emotion, "I suddenly really envy you. It's safe and sweet to have a girl as good as Tang Xuan by my side."

It was obviously a compliment, but Xiao Zihan heard it strangely with jealousy.

Realizing that his jealousy came too inexplicably, Xiao Zihan swallowed back the sarcasm he almost blurted out, and comforted Cai Jinyu awkwardly, "This is fate, you can't be in a hurry."

After finishing speaking, she still felt uncomfortable, so she added, "But with your kind of virtue, Tang Xuan definitely doesn't like it."

"Ah?" Cai Jinyu didn't realize that her previous words had stabbed Xiao Zihan, so she looked at Xiao Zihan without knowing, "What?"

"……nothing."

The smell of the food floated into the bedroom. Cai Jinyu rubbed her belly and sat up, "Wow, has Tang Xuan already cooked the meal? I'm so hungry. Let's go for a walk and eat. Xiaoxuan specially made it for me." comfort food."

Xiao Zihan: He really wants to beat this guy...
