Pavlov's dog

Another restaurant not far from where Fang Wei and Zhou Ruiyun were located was experiencing a strange scene.

Tan Xiyuan was on a blind date with the girl, but there was a man sitting beside him who came in halfway.

Xie Hengshi calmly sat down, interrupted other people's conversations and dinners, and pretended to be pleasantly surprised by the chance meeting: "Lynn, are you eating here too?"

Tan Xiyuan watched his performance with cold eyes. They had only met at the door of his company an hour ago. The other party was entangled and asked him to have dinner.

Tan Xiyuan flirted with this scoundrel for a while, took advantage of his unpreparedness, found an opportunity to stop a taxi and slip away, but he didn't expect that Xie Heng could follow Xie Heng to the restaurant in the congested and chaotic evening traffic.

Xie Heng leaned over and whispered, "I almost lost you."

Tan Xiyuan smiled but didn't smile.

"This is..." Xie Heng turned to the woman at the table, "Your girlfriend?"

"No." The girl on the opposite side was lively and cheerful, smiling so hard that her teeth couldn't be seen, "It's a blind date."

"Oh, that's it." Xie Heng raised his eyebrows, "I've been let go tonight, is it convenient for me to get a seat here?"

"Of course you can." The girl said, a blind date is already somewhat awkward, adding one more person can adjust the atmosphere, not to mention that Xie Heng looks young and handsome, "Are you Mr. Tan's friend?"

"Yes, friend." Xie Heng blinked at Tan Xiyuan, then said to the girl, "I'm Xie Heng."

"My name is Xu Meiran." The girl introduced herself.

"The name sounds nice, beautiful and natural." Xie Heng said in a playboy tone.

Tan Xiyuan smiled bluntly, and wanted to drive him away, but the other party had a good chat with the girl, so he had to call the waiter to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Tan Xiyuan was the only one who had a boring meal. The other two chatted from work to movies to luxury goods. Those who didn't know it thought they were the protagonists of this blind date banquet.

"Do you want to go see a movie?" Xu Meiran said after leaving the restaurant after dinner, "There is a theater on this floor."

"Now……"

Tan Xiyuan was about to speak, but Xie Heng said first: "Okay, there is a movie that is very popular these two days, and I haven't watched it yet."

"I didn't watch it either, but the lecture was pretty good." Xu Meiran said with a smile, "Where's Mr. Tan, let's go together?"

Tan Xiyuan could tell that Xu Meiran had obviously taken a fancy to Xie Heng, her eyes were all around him.He wanted to laugh a little, and said, "Well, let's go together. I'll go buy tickets."

"Then I'll go to the bathroom first." Xu Meiran said.

"I'll buy tickets with you." Xie Heng followed Tan Xiyuan.

"Hey, why don't you talk tonight?" Xie Heng asked in a low voice, "Are you mad at me? Seriously, this girl is not suitable for you."

"Young Master Xie and I probably haven't gotten to know each other well yet." Tan Xiyuan answered indifferently.

"Why aren't you familiar? You haven't even kissed him yet?" Xie Heng said with a playful smile.

Tan Xiyuan's face darkened, and he didn't go around in circles with him: "I'm serious, Xie Heng, stop pestering me like this, you don't have much sincerity, and I don't have time to play with you patiently. What do you want? , don’t catch me teasing you.”

Xie Heng paused, then bent down to touch the corner of his mouth: "I teased you? Are you angry that I kissed you at the bar last time? I drank too much at that time, and I couldn't control myself. Did I bite your lip? Let me see, it seems that there are still marks."

Tan Xiyuan waved his hand away, his expression worried.It was rare for him to express his emotions so bluntly. Even if Xie Heng didn't know him well, he knew that he was really angry at this time.

Xie Heng straightened his back and said sternly, "Are you still mad at Liu Chen for beating you? Then I apologize for him. He is a generous guy with a bad temper. He lost his mind after drinking a few cups of horse urine. Was his face swollen afterwards? I didn’t find you when I went back the next day, and I only found out after asking the manager that you had ended your short-term employment.”

This matter is Xie Heng's fault.The last time he took a friend to a bar, he said bluntly that he was chasing a bartender here.When Tan Xiyuan went to deliver the wine, the group booed together.After drinking two glasses of wine, Xie Heng was also a little bit smart, so he grabbed Tan Xiyuan and kissed him after being picked up by his friends.

Tan Xiyuan didn't expect that at the time, when he was kissed straight on, his lips were bitten while dodging, and the smell of blood permeated the noses of both of them.

Xie Heng was pushed away, but he chased after him again. Tan Xiyuan got stronger and pushed him against the pillar.

Xie Heng grinned his teeth in pain. Among this group of cronies, Liu Chen was the one who was the most sycophant, so he immediately grabbed Tan Xiyuan to make an apology.The tone was not harsh, and he said with a smile: "Hurry up and help Young Master Xie up, and then apologize with a French wet kiss."

Tan Xiyuan's mouth was full of blood, and he also lost his temper. He didn't speak, but smiled sarcastically.

Xie Heng recovered from the pain and rushed forward again, touched Tan Xiyuan's face, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I like this."

But was pushed away annoyed.

Xie Heng hadn't had an attack yet, but Liu Chen raised his hand to teach him a lesson.There was a crisp "snap" in the commotion, and Tan Xiyuan turned his head away from the slap.

–tbc–

Clay figurines also have a three-point temper, let alone Tan Xiyuan.After being slapped by Liu Chen, he turned ugly, gritted his teeth and looked directly at the other party.With a cigarette in his mouth, Liu Chen casually reached out and nodded him, saying, "Why? Not convinced?"

Tan Xiyuan frowned, his eyes overflowing with anger.Xie Heng pulled Liu Chen down with a smile, smoothed things over and said, "You are not allowed to bully him."

Liu Chen then smiled, and said in a strange way: "Young Master Xie is very protective."

Xie Heng took a good look at it, and didn't say anything, Liu Chen hit him right away, it's impossible to teach a friend a lesson just because of a little waiter.

This group of playboys all looked at Tan Xiyuan with mocking smiles on their lips.Xie Heng waved his hand to let him go, and said impatiently: "It's alright, alright, I won't play anymore, what should you do?"

Tan Xiyuan saw his arrogant and commanding appearance, he was angry and funny, but he didn't let it out, suppressed his anger and left.

That night, Xie Heng broke up with his friends to find someone, but he couldn't find him. The bar manager said that Lynn left work early.Liu Chen then pulled Xie Heng out, and leaned into his ear with a lewd smile and said, "I have some new products from my place, Young Master Xie, go and try them out, don't worry about them for now."

Xie Heng was serious about having fun, so he nodded immediately, and went with the others to the Gold-selling Cave, where he spent the whole night intoxicated.But two days later, he woke up and missed Lynn again. Unfortunately, when he came to the bar again, he was gone.

If Young Master Xie wants to find someone, he only needs to give a one-sentence order.But he weighed Lynn's attraction to him in his heart, thinking that it was unnecessary, but he hadn't made a decision yet, he didn't expect that it would take no effort at all - he could meet this person when he was looking for Fang Wei for dinner , and also revealed Lynn's true identity by the way.

Xie Heng thought to himself, this is probably fate.

When Xu Meiran came back from the bathroom, Tan Xiyuan bought a movie ticket for the latest show, and checked in within a few minutes.Xie Heng was very thoughtful and walked behind Tan Xiyuan, so he naturally sat next to him.

When watching a movie, Xie Heng was restless, relying on the darkness of the venue, he used his hands and feet, touching his legs and grabbing his hands.Tan Xiyuan, who was annoyed by the harassment, almost lost his temper.

At the end of the movie, only Xu Meiran was excitedly talking about the plot, and the two men could only respond with modal particles, after all, they didn't watch the movie.

Xie Heng wanted to send the two of them back, and it was getting late, so Xu Meiran naturally did not refuse, and Tan Xiyuan, who adhered to the principle of sending the girl home, also got into the car.

When she arrived at the parking lot, Xu Meiran's eyes lit up when she saw Xie Heng's car. She had very sharp eyes and could tell it was a luxury car at a glance.

After getting into the car, Tan Xiyuan and Xu Meiran sat in the back seat, while Xie Heng drove.The two chatted happily, and Tan Xiyuan interjected a few words from time to time.Xu Meiran obviously took a fancy to Xie Heng, and the topic kept sticking to Xie Heng, asking about his family background, hobbies, and past love history in a roundabout way, and the two even exchanged mobile phone numbers.Tan Xiyuan didn't even exchange numbers with Xu Meiran.

After going back, she will definitely be talked about by sister Zhang, Tan Xiyuan thought.The man introduced his partner with good intentions, but he was cut off halfway. Sister Zhang must scold Tan Xiyuan for his lack of understanding and only knows how to make money by working.

After seeing Xu Meiran off first, the girl got out of the car, and Xie Heng asked Tan Xiyuan to take the co-driver.Tan Xiyuan didn't want to, Xie Heng lashed out at him: "Are you treating me as a driver?"

"Didn't you do it voluntarily?" Tan Xiyuan said.

Well, it really is.But Xie Heng didn't want to drive, so he was forced to sit in front.Xu Meiran saw it from the corridor, turned back and asked them why they still didn't leave.

Xie Heng said sweetly: "Don't you live on the fifteenth floor? I have to wait until I see the light is on before I can leave in peace."

Xu Meiran blushed, ran into the corridor again, and waved: "No, let's go."

Xie Heng didn't give up until he achieved his goal, Tan Xiyuan didn't want to continue to grind with others, so he opened the car door and got into the passenger driver.

Xie Heng started the car contentedly, the sound of the engine was pleasant and brisk.

The night in the city is very lively, Tan Xiyuan leaned on his seat to watch the streamer and crowds flashing past the window.Xie Heng beat the beat to the music, and he was in a good mood.

"Your name is Tan Xinyuan?" Xie Heng asked, "What's new in the news? Which original?"

"The west of the northwest, the principle of the original."

"Oh, it sounds good. Nishihara."

"We're not that familiar yet." Tan Xiyuan said coldly.

"Well, I'm more used to calling you Lynn." Xie Heng changed his words, "So you are not a waiter, so what do you usually do? Fang Fang is in design, and you are his boss, so you are also in design? "

"Fang Fang?" Tan Xiyuan caught a strange focus.

"Fang Wei."

Tan Xiyuan smiled: "You call him Fang Fang, what does he call you? Thank you?"

"..." Xie Heng discovered for the first time that this person actually had this side, "No thanks."

When the car drove into the second ring road, Tan Xiyuan looked around and said, "Don't you ask me where I live?"

Xie Heng suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, I forgot. I almost went straight back to my house."

Tan Xiyuan's heart was like a mirror, and he didn't reveal the real purpose behind his forgetfulness, but only reported his address.

Xie Heng hummed slowly, turned around and changed direction.This person is really not easy to deceive, nor is it easy to get started.

The address reported by Tan Xiyuan was really his home. The neighborhood was old and ivy covered the entire wall.When they got downstairs, Tan Xiyuan wanted to get off the car.

"Thank you." He thanked him while unfastening his seat belt.

Xie Heng always felt that these two words were weird, but Tan Xiyuan looked serious, he didn't seem to be teasing his own name.

"No thanks." Xie Heng grinned, "As long as you don't get angry about that night."

Tan Xiyuan obviously didn't want to mention that night, so he said perfunctorily, "Well, I'll go first, be careful on the way."

"Aren't you really angry?" Xie Heng confirmed again.

Tan Xiyuan went to open the door, but he didn't open it, so he turned to look at him: "Open the door."

Xie Heng approached and pressed his body forward: "You first say that you are really not angry?"

"Is it important?" Tan Xiyuan was helpless.

"Of course it's important." Xie Heng raised his eyebrows, "If you really lose your temper, do you mind if I kiss you again?"

Xie Heng looked so serious, the sporadic lights outside the car window were gathered into his pupils, radiant and bewitching.

But Tan Xiyuan was unmoved: "Mind."

Xie Heng stepped back, unlocked the car door, and said generously, "It's fine if you mind. By the way, which floor do you live on?"

"Sixth floor." Tan Xiyuan didn't stop after speaking, turned his head and got out of the car.Xie Heng looked at the sixth floor, there were lights on, he raised his eyebrows, and drove away.

Tan Xiyuan walked into the corridor, but was suddenly grabbed by the arm, he thought it was Xie Heng who chased him down.

"What? I told you I mind."

"Brother." The person behind him clutching his arm said.

"Zhuang Yue?"

The sensor light in the corridor was broken, and it was pitch black. It took Tan Xiyuan a long time to recognize the blurred outline of his brother.

"Why did you come back so late?" Zhuang Yue asked.

"I went to dinner with my friends. What time is it? Are you studying by yourself next night?" Tan Xiyuan took out his mobile phone to check the time, worried that his brother would skip class.

Zhuang Yue refused to let go, and asked again: "Is it your friend who sent you back just now?"

"En." Tan Xiyuan went upstairs in the dark.

"Are you in a good relationship?"

"What are you asking so much for?"

Zhuang Yue paused: "It's nothing...he drives a good car."

Tan Xiyuan chuckled lightly in the dark: "Did you like it?"

"No." Zhuang Yue replied vaguely, he followed Tan Xiyuan up the stairs, his brother's unique smell lingered around his breath.

There was light when he got up to the fourth floor, and he stared at Tan Xiyuan's straight back, the shoulder blades were clearly reflected in his shirt, he wanted to touch it, but he didn't dare.Thinking back to the scene I just saw in my mind - the man was holding Tan Xiyuan's shoulder, getting very close, as if he could kiss him just by lowering his head.

Tan Xiyuan spoke from the front: "Uncle Zhuang is probably asleep, so be quiet when you enter the door later, you take a bath first..."

Zhuang Yue clenched his fingers and lowered his head to cover his gloomy eyes.

The road was congested, and I drove in the wrong direction again. It was almost twelve o'clock when I got home.Lying on the bed after taking a shower, he made a phone call.

Fang Wei was about to go to sleep, but was awakened by the phone call, and asked confusedly, "Xie Heng?"

"Fang Fang, you are really mean." Xie Heng preemptively complained.

"What?" Fang Wei didn't turn the corner.

"Lynn, you are the boss and you have been keeping it from me."

Fang Wei was powerless to argue: "..."

Xie Heng said again: "By the way, who are you dating in a hurry at night? That tall and cold big sister?"

The topic jumped a bit quickly, Fang Wei hesitated for a moment, and in just two seconds, Xie Heng took advantage of the loophole and got a glimpse of the truth.

"Sure enough, it's all developed to the point of dating. Did you ask her out? Is it going to happen? Or has it already happened?"

Fang Wei is not good at lying, and he has a lot of entanglements that need to be solved, so he picks and chooses and tells about the confession at night: "I confessed, and he said to think about it, and reply to me before next week."

"That's a rejection." Xie Heng hit the nail on the head, and said bluntly, "I want to be tactful for you, after all, it's too ugly to refuse in person."

"Don't hit me!" Fang Wei didn't worry, he told Xie Heng about this, and he wanted to hear comfort from the other party - even if it was false.It's not for listening to dejected words.

"How can you call it a blow to you? This is a clear fact." Xie Heng was not convinced.

"Stop talking, go to sleep." Fang Wei said firmly.

"Don't worry." Xie Heng asked him to stay, "Have you asked about Lynn yet? By the way, what's his phone number?"

"Can't you find out yourself?"

"It's disrespectful to investigate other people's privacy." Xie Heng said with a human face, "Also, is he your direct boss? What does he usually do?"

"I'm going to sleep." Fang Wei politely refused him.

"Godmother has asked me several times whether you are in a relationship or not. Next time I ask, I will say that you recently fell in love with a woman in the company and ask her to check..." Xie Heng changed the subject casually.

"What do you want to ask? I don't know much about Brother Tan." Fang Wei raised his hands in surrender.

Xie Hengzhi smiled complacently: "Tell me as much as you have."

Fang Wei talked about some trifles about Tan Xiyuan, Xie Heng yawned and was tired from listening, and said: "That's enough, that's enough, go to sleep."

Fang Wei wanted to laugh, but knew that Xie Heng didn't have any serious intentions to chase after him: "Well, I'm asleep."

"Yeah." Before hanging up the phone, Xie Heng added a word of consolation, "Actually, if someone has to think about it for a few days, it may not necessarily be a rejection. It may be to take a Joe and make you suffer a little bit anxiously. Think in a good direction and point out If not, I agree."

"...Thank you." Fang Wei didn't thank you sincerely at all.

Disturbed by Xie Heng's phone call, Fang Wei stared at the lines on the quilt in a daze.Zhou Ruiyun said that he would give an answer before next week. Today is only Tuesday, and there are still five days before the end of this week.The numbers can be counted on one hand, but it seems to be an unimaginably long time.

Wait, five days?Fang Wei sat up abruptly, opened the phone calendar, and found that the weekend was her birthday.

God, he didn't want to be rejected on his birthday.That was too miserable.
