She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Zhang Tingyuan's words successfully made everyone turn their eyes to me.

"Sister, I'm fine, don't worry." Yuan Tianye didn't care about kicking Zhang Tingyuan anymore, and looked at my face worriedly, "Aunt Zhang, sister's face has lost all color, is she scared out of her wits? What should I do?"

"Xuxu, are you really scared? It's all Xiaoyuan's fault. He's so naughty." Mrs. Zhang Si's expression suddenly became nervous. She grabbed my hand and said urgently, "Xuxu, don't be afraid."

"Sister Meng, I was wrong. I will never scare you again." Zhang Tingyuan immediately put away his playful smile and apologized to me seriously. He then asked Mrs. Zhang Si in a panic, "Mom, do you want to send Sister Meng to the hospital?"

I was indeed quite scared. It's winter now and influenza and pneumonia are prevalent recently. Large-scale infections have occurred in many places and hospitals are overcrowded. I know how powerful the virus is, and just now I thought Yuan Tianye was also infected, so I was shocked and my expression changed so much.

But in fact, the moment Madam Zhang Si held my hand, my uneasy heart calmed down. Her warm fingers, gentle eyes, and kind voice were all my calming agents.

I breathed a sigh of relief, smiled again, and quickly said, "It's okay, I'm fine, I don't need to go to the hospital."

Yuan Tianye's eyes turned red and he suddenly reached out his hand.

I was caught off guard and was suddenly wrapped in a large and strong embrace. The boy's clear and clean breath enveloped me. I could hear his violently beating heartbeat and his muffled voice with a sobbing tone: "Sister..."

Yuan Tianye has always been a bright and outspoken person, and he seems to be indifferent to everything. Outsiders see his willfulness, recklessness, and pride. His world seems to be full of flowers and glory. But I know that even such a favored child of heaven can have moments of weakness.

This was the second time I saw him expose his vulnerability.

He was very tall, and my head was wrapped in his arms. I couldn't see his expression, so I could only pat his back to comfort him: "I'm fine, Xiaoye, you see I'm fine, nothing happened, don't cry."

"Sister, thank you. Today I realized how important I am in your heart and that you care about me so much." Yuan Tianye stopped crying, but his words made me silent.

Do I care about Yuan Tianye?

Of course I care, a lot.

We met by chance at first, and then we gradually got to know each other. I always regarded him as a colleague, friend, and a lively and cheerful younger brother. I used to feel that being with Xiaoye always made me happy, joyful, and full of energy, but I never realized that he had unknowingly occupied an important place in my heart.

We are very good friends. I care about him not because of various interests or politeness, but as a good friend, I can't help but care about him.

I was really nervous and guilty just now. The worry and self-blame really overwhelmed me. I blamed myself for not paying enough attention to his physical condition as a good friend. I was worried that he was in pain and uncomfortable.

But now that I know he's okay, I can relax a little. I was silent for a while, then patted his back again: "Of course it's important. You're my good friend, how could I not care about you? But Xiaoye, can you let me go a little, don't hold me so tightly, I... my breathing is a little difficult."

"Oh, I'm sorry, sister, I hugged you too tightly..." Yuan Tianye quickly let me go.

When I looked up, I saw his red face and his shy yet happy eyes.

Zhang Tingyuan next to him suddenly said, "Oh, it's over. Looking at Sister Meng's expression, Xiaoye has won this time, but I don't accept it. Xiaoye, you are the first to get Sister Meng's favor. If I could work in the same company as Sister Meng, I would definitely stick to her every day."

I felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and my face felt slightly hot. I quickly lowered my head and pretended to tidy up my hair to hide my embarrassment.

Do you have that kind of affection for Xiao Ye? I don’t know, I just feel a little confused at the moment.

Instead, Mrs. Zhang Si came over and helped me fix my hair with a smile, but didn't say anything.

"You're being quite sticky now. My sister and I just arrived at the horse farm, and you came here with Aunt Zhang right after us. It can't be a coincidence, right? You must have come here because of the smell, right?" Yuan Tianye's emotions had stabilized, and he retorted to him without any hesitation, "You came here to snatch my sister from me. Since you can't do it by yourself, you brought Aunt Zhang to assist you. Ugh!"

"Hey, I also have Coach Zhang's WeChat. When I saw him post a picture of the little white horse on his Moments, I knew that Sister Meng's pony was back. Today is the weekend, and I guessed that you would definitely bring Sister Meng to recognize the pony, so I followed you." Zhang Tingyuan did not hide anything and admitted it openly, "I did come to see Sister Meng. I also like Sister Meng and want to play with her."

But he denied another thing: "But I am not so unruly as to bring my mother here as an assist. My mother came here on her own initiative."

At this time, Mrs. Zhang Si had already tidied my hair, and her gentle and kind eyes were all on my face, full of appreciation and joy.

She smiled and said, "Yes, I heard that Xiaoye would bring you to the horse farm this afternoon, so I followed Xiaoyuan to see you. Seeing that Xuxu was in a good mood today, I felt relieved."

It turned out that Madam Zhang Si had always been concerned about me and worried that I was in a bad mood. She was so considerate and gentle to me.

"Don't worry, ma'am. I feel much better today. Thank you for your comfort and care for me yesterday." I felt a warm current surge in my heart again, and I was moved indescribably.

Zhang Tingyuan and Yuan Tianye were both curious: "Yesterday? What happened yesterday?"

I frowned slightly. I really didn't want anyone to know what happened yesterday.

Firstly, I don’t want others to see my emotionally vulnerable side, so as to avoid making my friends worry about me.

Secondly, the reason why I cried yesterday was that Lin Youde was stalking my aunt, and I just want to handle these things myself.

"Nothing, it's all trivial and it's all in the past." Mrs. Zhang Si seemed to see through my thoughts and brushed the matter off with a few words. Then she took my hand and said, "Xu Xu, last time you were at the horse farm, Xiao Yuan showed me a video of you riding a horse. You looked so heroic. Can you show me a live video of it today?"
