pick a peach essence

I want... the man's life.

Now Tao Tao really understands the meaning of Xiao Qiong's eyes.

Is this... really the result of his deliberation?
Tao Tao pursed her lips, then looked to the side at the man who didn't have a very good expression.

"When are you going to..."

"Let's pass tonight."

Tao Tao nodded, in fact, she also saw the hesitation in Jiang Jinchen's eyes.

Jiang Jinchen actually wanted to give Xiao Qiong some more time to reconsider.

"Then I'll go back first, don't worry, I'll be fine soon."

Jiang Jinchen hugged the girl, then kissed her gently on the cheek.

"Well, well, I believe you."

Tao Tao smiled at the man, signaling him not to worry about himself, the most important thing right now is the company's affairs.

Then the two separated.

Tao Tao was walking aimlessly on the road, at this moment, she suddenly saw Xiao Lan who was greeting her happily.

Tao Tao was stunned for a moment, looking at Xiao Lan's smiling face, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable, as if something had stabbed her heart hard.

"What a coincidence, little Taozi, where are you going?"

Xiao Lan looked at Tao Tao with a smile, then walked over and took her arm.

Tao Tao suppressed her sad expression, and smiled at Xiao Lan pretending to be relaxed.

"Walk around casually, how about you, senior?"

"its me!"

When Xiao Lan said this, she suddenly became happy, as if she had just heard some good news.

Tao Tao felt more and more uncomfortable...

"My brother called me just now and said that we will have hot pot at home at night."

"You know, this is the first time my brother has offered to have dinner together."

Xiao Lan's eyes were narrowed when she smiled, but in Tao Tao's eyes, her smile was like...

It's like taunting.

A good family may be completely destroyed tomorrow, which is too cruel for a girl.

and……

I knew about this a long time ago, but I still have to try my best to control myself and not tell this girl.

Tao Tao almost cried.

"Little Taozi, why don't you accompany me to the supermarket!"

Xiao Lan was in a state of excitement, she didn't notice the abnormal look on Tao Tao's face.

As she spoke, she took Tao Tao and walked towards the supermarket not far away, giving the girl no room to refuse.

So it was like this... Feeling guilty, Tao Tao went to the supermarket with her senior sister.

It's also possible that the two of them ended up together.

The senior sister kept talking to her along the way, looking as happy as she could be.

Tao Tao suddenly remembered that this might be... the happiest time since she met her senior.

"Sister..."

The two girls put the big and small bags into the trunk. The moment Xiao Lan opened the car door, Tao Tao stopped her.

"Eh? What's wrong, little Taozi."

Xiao Lan turned her head and looked at the girl tenderly.

Suddenly Tao Tao couldn't hold it anymore, she pursed her lips, and took a deep look at Xiao Lan.

"sorry."

Then she turned around and ran away without looking back, leaving only Xiao Lan standing there with a puzzled expression.

This child...is something wrong?

Xiao Lan just wanted to catch up worriedly, but at this moment she suddenly received a call.

It was Xiao Qiong who called, Xiao Lan hesitated for a while, and finally opened the door and sat in the car.

"Hello? Brother, what's the matter?"

"Ask where you have been."

Xiao Lan couldn't help grinning when she heard her brother's voice.

"I've finished my shopping and I'm going back soon."

Xiao Qiong nodded after hearing this.

"Okay, I see, be careful on the road."

"Ah yes."

Xiao Lan suddenly remembered something, she tentatively asked the man on the phone.

"You... have you seen Tao Tao today?"

"Tao Tao?"

Xiao Qiong raised her eyebrows, hesitated for a while, but finally did not tell Xiao Lan about the matter.

"No."

"Eh? No? That's weird..."

"what happened?"

Xiao Qiong was a little puzzled, why Xiao Lan would suddenly ask herself this question, did she...know something.

"Ah, it's like this. I just met Tao Tao and asked her to accompany me to the supermarket."

……

The man fell silent after hearing this, and he covered his eyes helplessly.

Why is it such a coincidence, he should have already guessed how guilty Tao Tao would feel when facing the very happy Xiao Lan.

"But she just said sorry to me suddenly, and ran away..."

Sure enough... the man sighed softly.

"It's okay, she may feel tired, so she will go first."

"Is that right?"

Xiao Lan expressed deep doubts, and Xiao Qiong hurriedly said to her upon seeing this.

"Come back soon, let's have dinner together."

Only then did Xiao Lan walk out of her own world. She responded happily, hung up the phone, started the engine and went home.

When Xiao Lan got home, she saw her brother looking at the pot in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"Are you struggling with which pot to use?"

The girl suddenly appeared behind him, but this time Xiao Qiong was taken aback.

Xiao Lan suddenly felt that he was not frowning just because of this incident.

"Ah, yes."

Xiao Qiong looked at his younger sister's suspicious eyes, and quickly adjusted his emotions. He pulled Xiao Lan in front of him.

"Just see which one you like and use it."

After the man finished speaking, he went to take out the ingredients in the bag and prepare.

Xiao Lan looked at his brother's back with some doubts, always feeling that he was acting weird today.

Soon, the brother and sister opened the pot and waited for the water to boil.

"You seem very happy today."

The man raised his eyebrows, looking at the girl who couldn't control herself and curled her mouth.

"Of course."

Xiao Lan smiled sweetly at her brother.

"Because this is the first time you took the initiative to ask me to have dinner with you."

Xiao Qiong suddenly fell silent after hearing her sister's words.

"sorry."

"Eh? Why are you apologizing to me?"

Xiao Lan couldn't laugh or cry.

"I know you're usually busy, and I don't blame you."

Seeing that the water was boiling, the girl carefully put the ingredients into the pot.

It was only at this time that Xiao Qiong realized that what she put in was what he liked to eat.

The man suddenly felt a little unbearable.

"you……"

Xiao Lan looked at her brother's hesitant to speak, and blinked at him.

"Are you going to say something? It's okay, just tell me. I have nothing to hesitate."

The man pursed his lips, thinking in his heart that maybe only this matter would keep him a secret from you.

"It's okay, let's eat first."

In the end, Xiao Qiong still didn't organize his words well, and he didn't know how to speak.

Maybe... Tao Tao was in the same mood just now.

Then the siblings started eating, but Xiao Qiong was still silent, while Xiao Lan happily told her brother the interesting things that happened around her in the past few days.

She finally found her own happiness... But after tonight, she will be destroyed by her own hands.

Xiao Qiong originally thought that he would be ruthless, but this time, seeing his sister's beautiful smile, he finally hesitated.

"Xiao Lan."

Xiao Lan heard her brother who had been silent for a long time speak suddenly, she quickly stopped and looked at him expectantly.

"What's wrong brother?"

"if……"

The man withdrew his gaze from looking at his sister, and then stared at the balls that Xiao Lan made for himself just now on his plate.

"If I was the only one left around you, wouldn't you feel sad?"

Xiao Lan was stunned when she heard it, she didn't expect her brother to say these words to her suddenly.

"I haven't thought about it."

For some reason, she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

"I'm just saying if."

Xiao Qiong saw that his younger sister deliberately avoided the topic, so he emphasized it again.

"If..."

Xiao Lan put down her chopsticks and pursed her lips.

"Of course I'd be sad."

"But... I should be happy too."

This is... what answer?
Xiao Lan looked at his brother who didn't know what he was thinking, and smiled brightly at him.

"If you are sad, it is because, after all, it is a relative who is connected with you by flesh and blood. If you suddenly lose it, of course you will be sad."

"But... when it comes to being happy."

The girl suddenly reached out and took Xiao Qiong's cold hand on the table.

"I will feel that even if I lose everyone, there is still a you by my side..."

"I'll be very happy."

Feeling the warmth on the back of her hands, Xiao Qiong suddenly remembered that girl, and gave herself strength with the same warm hands.

So, this indifferent man hesitated again.

Then the two finished the meal in silence.

Xiao Lan went to wash the dishes, she looked at the motionless man sitting on the sofa in the living room, and sighed softly.

So... What exactly does my brother want to tell me today?

Look at him hesitatingly.

The girl decided not to ask, because she knew that her big brother was a very independent person since she was a child, and every decision he made would be verified later.

That is correct, as long as it is the decision made by brother, it is correct.

For so many years, the girl has always believed in this.

"It's already packed, brother, you should go and rest soon."

Xiao Lan heated up a glass of milk and put it in front of Xiao Qiong.

The man raised his head and took a deep look at his sister, his favorite sister.

"what happened?"

Xiao Lan was taken aback by his brother's eyes.

"It's okay, you go to sleep."

The girl sighed helplessly after hearing this, knowing that his brother was going to work again.

"Don't be too busy."

After Xiao Lan finished speaking, she turned around and went back to her room.

"Ah, that's right."

When the girl was about to close the door, she suddenly said to the man who was watching her quietly.

"Good night, brother."

The man's eyes suddenly filled with sadness.

He was really familiar with this sentence, because Xiao Lan would say good night to himself every time before falling asleep since he was a child.

Every time, every time.

The man knows that her sister is now alone.

Xiao Qiong couldn't bear it, he still couldn't bear it, and cut off his sister's happiness with his own hands.

"Hey?"

As expected, Jiang Jinchen received a call from Xiao Qiong. Looking at the strange number on the phone, he seemed to have guessed something.

"Your takeout has arrived."

"Okay... I see, I'll let someone pick it up."

"thanks……"

After saying thank you over there, I hung up the phone.

Jiang Jinchen smiled helplessly, Xiao Qiong finally relented.

Before leaving, he told Xiao Qiong that if he regretted it, he would call himself and say that the takeaway had arrived.

If he accepts it, it means that we can talk again.

But if he doesn't accept it, it means that everything is still going according to the original plan.

"Hey……"

Jiang Jinchen held his forehead and looked at the materials Xiao Qiong gave him today.

It seems that no matter what Xiao Qiong has experienced, he is still an ordinary person with flesh and blood and feelings.
