half thorns, half joy

After talking for half an hour, Tang Xuan changed from being anxious at the beginning to being serious. It wasn't until Officer Liu left that she realized how heavy the burden was on her.

It is indeed like what Coco said before, she can't have the slightest hesitation in doing this.Because once she makes a mistake, once she shrinks back, not only her, but everyone's efforts here will be in vain.

"Are you okay?" Ke Ke sent Officer Liu away, came in and sat back opposite Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan nodded, "Yes."

"Actually, you don't need to be too nervous. Officer Liu is a professional. He will arrange how to check and how to do it. Then you just need to do what he said. Essentially, this is much easier than you used to be."

"Ah."

Seeing Tang Xuan's still serious expression, Ke Ke asked suspiciously, "You, you must be worried about that Xiao Zihan, right?"

"No." Tang Xuan lowered her head, concealed her excess emotions, and changed the subject, "Well, I asked you to investigate Xiao Yu's affairs for me. How did your investigation go?"

Ke Ke picked up the milk tea and took a big sip. Instead of answering, she asked Tang Xuan first, "What's wrong with him, why do you want to investigate him?"

Tang Xuan told the truth about Xiao Yu's hostility towards her, Ke Ke pondered for a few seconds before she spoke.

"This Xiao Yu is said to be Xiao Mingyuan's nephew. He has been working with Xiao Mingyuan for the past few years. Xiao Mingyuan treats him very highly. It was rumored that Xiao Mingyuan loves this nephew more than his own son. As for...why does he To show hostility to you, I'm not sure about this, but I heard a gossip, saying that Xiao Yu has a good female friend who is interested in Xiao Zihan, but Xiao Zihan rejected it."

Tang Xuan grasped the point precisely, "You mean, the reason why Xiao Yu hates me so much is because I robbed Xiao Zihan, and he is fighting for his friend?"

Ke Ke shrugged, "Who knows, I'm not very familiar with him, but I heard from people in the circle that this guy is a ghost, not a good thing."

Tang Xuan thought for a while, then continued to ask Ke Ke: "Then you said that Xiao Mingyuan loves him more than Xiao Zihan, is it true?"

"I don't know. Only Xiao Mingyuan knows this kind of thing in his own heart. But in my personal opinion, this is impossible. No matter how Xiao Zihan is his own son, no matter how much Xiao Yu wins his heart, he is just an outsider." .”

"Then...can you continue to check for me, the details of Xiao Yu's female friend who likes Xiao Zihan? I want to know more."

Ke Ke raised her eyebrows, "Are you jealous?"

Tang Xuan quickly shook her head, "No, no, I just want to know myself and the enemy. Now that I am Xiao Zihan's secretary, I will have a lot to do with him in the future. I can't be led by the nose all the time."

"Okay, it's on me." Ke Ke said with emotion, "It's easy to inquire about women's affairs, this Xiao Yu hides too deeply, even I can't dig out many details about him."

Tang Xuan smiled when she heard this, and said ironically, "Isn't Xiao Mingyuan hiding very deeply? They really have a tacit understanding."

"That's right, you think they are..."

"Ok?"

"Forget it, forget it, I won't say it if it's too harsh." Ke Ke stretched her waist, yawned and said vaguely: "It's okay, I'm going back to catch up on sleep, and I'm going to Lao Deng's place tonight. You have to recharge your spirits before going.”

Tang Xuan seldom heard the name Lao Deng from Ke Ke's mouth. Now that Ke Ke said it so casually, she couldn't help being curious, "By the way, you have been busy with these things recently, and Lao Deng didn't notice anything. ?"

Ke Ke rubbed his eyes, "Of course not, he has so many lovers, he doesn't care what I'm doing, besides, if he notices me, can I talk to you here?"

"That's good." Tang Xuan heard Xiao Zihan mention it, and knew that Lao Deng was not easy to deal with, so she kindly reminded Ke Ke, "Anyway, be careful, don't show your flaws."

"Don't worry about that. I do things more appropriately than you." Ke Ke obviously didn't want to talk any more, stood up and pushed the chair away, and was about to leave, "If you still want to sit, just sit for a while, I'll go back first , really sleepy."

What should be said has already been said, and Tang Xuan has no need to keep Ke Ke, "Then you go first, I will leave later."

"Goodbye."

"Ah."

After Ke Ke left, Tang Xuan was the only one left in the small box. Tang Xuan sat blankly, staring at the cup of milk tea on the table in front of her. Officer Liu and her cup of milk tea didn't take a sip, only Ke Ke That glass is empty.

Tang Xuan spread her hands and looked at the USB flash drive left by Police Officer Liu in her palm. She felt mixed feelings in her heart, and thousands of feelings came to her heart.

After sitting there for an unknown amount of time, Tang Xuan's cell phone rang suddenly.She took it out of her bag and saw that the caller ID was Xiao Zihan.

Tang Xuan took a deep breath and answered the phone, "Hello?"

Xiao Zihan's warm voice came from the phone: "Jinyu and I finished our meal here, how about your comforting?"

"almost."

"Then are you ready to leave now? Where are you? I'll pick you up."

"No need, it's not far from here, I'll just take a taxi back." Tang Xuan didn't want to see Xiao Zihan immediately at this moment, so she quickly moved out of Cai Jinyu, "You should spend more time with Jinyu, otherwise he will be empty and lonely again .”

As soon as Tang Xuan finished speaking, Cai Jinyu's penetrating voice came over, "Thank you, sister-in-law! My sister-in-law understands me best!"

"Pfft." Tang Xuan was helpless, it was rare for Xiao Zihan to endure Cai Jinyu's fuss.

"Okay then, take a taxi back, or call me if you have anything to do, I can pick you up at any time."

Tang Xuan was moved by the gentleness of Xiao Zihan's voice, she felt warm in her heart, "Okay."

She didn't dare to say more, and immediately hung up the phone. Xiao Zihan was too gentle, so gentle that she couldn't bear it, made her feel guilty, and made her want to cry.

She was afraid that if she listened to it for a second longer, she would cry uncontrollably.

After sorting out her emotions a bit, Tang Xuan looked at the time. It turned out that it was already ten o'clock in the evening. No wonder Xiao Zihan called to inquire.

Tang Xuan didn't linger any longer, she immediately left the milk tea shop and took a taxi home.

The taxi stopped at the gate of the complex. Tang Xuan paid the car and got out of the car. Just as she was about to enter the complex, she suddenly smelled the aroma of food. Following the source of the scent, Tang Xuan saw a stall selling hand-cooked pancakes.

Only then did she remember that she hadn't had dinner that night.

"Hello, I want a finger pie."

"Okay, wait a minute."

The oil splashed from the machine making hand pancakes, Tang Xuan subconsciously took a few steps back, one of them didn't pay attention, and stepped on the foot of the person behind.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Tang Xuan immediately turned her head to apologize, but when she turned around, she saw an all-too-familiar face.

Tang Xuan was stunned.

"You didn't eat tonight?" Xiao Zihan glanced at the finger cakes that the master was making, and asked Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan nodded, then shook her head, "I've eaten, but I'm not full." After answering, she looked at Xiao Zihan suspiciously, "Why are you here, where is Cai Jinyu?"

Xiao Zihan said unhappily: "Watching TV at home, I think this guy is not going to leave."

Tang Xuan: "Then why do you..."

Xiao Zihan smiled, "I'll come down to pick you up. You're outside alone at night. I'm worried that it's not safe."

Looking into Xiao Zihan's eyes, Tang Xuan knew that what Xiao Zihan said was serious.

In fact, although it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, the community Tang Xuan rented was safe and secure, with many street lights, so there was basically no need to worry about safety issues.

Xiao Zihan put Tang Xuan on top of his heart, that's why he came down specially.

"Girl, your pancakes are ready." The master quickly put the pancakes in a paper bag, covered them with a plastic bag, and handed them to Tang Xuan.

"Thank you." Xiao Zihan reached out to take it, and took out a big red bill to pay.

The master habitually lowered his head to look for change, and when he looked up after finding something suitable, the two people who bought the cake had already walked away.

"Wait a minute, I haven't asked you for any money yet." The master shouted at the top of his voice.

Xiao Zihan turned around and smiled at the master, "No need to look for it, it's getting late, you should close the stall early and go back to rest."

The baker was stunned, and when he realized it, there was no one in sight.

Could it be that this is luck from heaven?

Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan walked into the community hand in hand. Tang Xuan joked about Xiao Zihan's behavior of a local tyrant just now, "If I were the uncle who sells cakes, I'll come here every day to sell cakes and make you poor."

"Stop making trouble, people have been selling cakes for a long time when they see that method, what kind of people and things they haven't seen before, they won't make such a fuss like you." Xiao Zihan's reaction was unusually flat.

Tang Xuan pouted, "Is that so? Why do I feel that your method is quite common, don't you often act like this?"

Xiao Zihan frowned slightly, "I feel like you are mocking me."

Tang Xuan smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that his sweetheart misunderstood him, Xiao Zihan immediately defended himself, "Actually, this is really not a trick, and I didn't think it was a big deal not to ask for money from others just now. In fact, I am quite picky."

"Really?" Tang Xuan obviously didn't believe it.

"Of course it's true." Xiao Zihan had a serious face, "You haven't seen me talking about a project, and the other party will collapse if I pick it up haha."

Tang Xuan was surprised, "You can't be lying to me, are you?"

Xiao Zihan shrugged, "If you don't believe me, just ask and you'll know. Those people are afraid to talk about projects with me now."

Tang Xuan knew that Xiao Zihan didn't need to lie about this kind of thing, but this approach was indeed very different from what he did to the peddler just now.

Although a little surprised, Tang Xuan understood after thinking about it for a while.

Xiao Zihan is lavishing the poor and picking on the rich. After all, for those who can cooperate with Xiao, millions or even tens of millions are nothing, but for those who are still selling their hands at ten o'clock at night. For the uncle of the cake, 100 yuan may allow him to finish work earlier and rest earlier.

Such a kind-hearted Xiao Zihan made Tang Xuan's heart move even more.

"Sister-in-law is back." Cai Jinyu leaned on the sofa carelessly, and when she saw Tang Xuan enter the room, she came forward to say hello with a playful smile, and when she saw the pancake in Tang Xuan's hand, her eyes widened as if she hadn't eaten, "Wow , What did you take, it smells so good."

"Finger cakes, I bought them downstairs."

"Is there any more for sale? I want to eat too!"

Tang Xuan nodded, "That person should still be there, at the gate of the complex, but you didn't eat tonight...are you full?"

"I'm full. Isn't this supper? I'll come back when I go." Cai Jinyu was also very resolute, and ran out wearing slippers before finishing her sentence.

Xiao Zihan's face darkened again, and he said coldly: "This guy, don't open the door for him when he comes back.

Tang Xuan burst out laughing. After laughing, she walked over to sit on the sofa. When she was about to eat, she saw Cai Jinyu's cell phone on the coffee table. She couldn't help saying, "When Cai Jinyu went out just now, she didn't bring her wallet."

Xiao Zihan: "Well, it seems... this idiot..."
