single stab

"what?"

Jiang Xue's puzzled voice didn't have much warmth, as if he just said a bad joke casually.

Yan Ge sighed quietly, as if he had expected his reaction long ago, and there was not much frustration on his face.

"I'm serious, if you don't believe me, you will suffer in the future."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"It has nothing to do with you, but it has something to do with Li Zheng."

Jiang Xue paused suddenly, remembering Yan Ge's weird behavior and demeanor at the dinner that night, and finally re-faced his words, but still asked with doubts.

"Are you really not lying to me?"

Yan Ge raised four fingers to point to the sky, and said sincerely.

"I like you so much, how can I be willing to lie to you."

Yan Ge stared at him intently, and before he said it, a malicious thought flashed through his mind - it would be better to break up the two of them, and then he and Yan Sheng could get Jiang Xue and Li Zheng respectively.

But in an instant, he glanced at Jiang Xue's tense back with a calm face, and her tense slightly curled fingers.

Sure enough, I still care.

I'm used to working hard to clean up Yan Sheng's mess, and even wanting to be a bad guy once in a while would feel guilty.

Hey.

"My other personality is Yan Sheng, a little brat who likes to cause trouble very much. Friendly reminder, he is extremely obsessed with Li Zheng."

Jiang Xue's lips were pursed tightly, as if a little unhappy, but she still asked patiently.

"Has he been to my house?"

Yan Ge was startled, and said with a half-smile.

"I don't know what he did when he showed up, but no matter where Li Zheng lives, sometimes I wake up outside his door."

Hearing this, Jiang Xue's face seemed to have quickly condensed a layer of frost, and her heavy brows showed a bit of displeasure and disgust.

"Can't you take care of him?"

Yan Ge shook his head helplessly, and was also very distressed by the paranoid Yan Sheng, but he had to endure it because he was a part of himself.

"Sorry, there's nothing I can do about it."

He sighed softly.

"After all, I am a celebrity, and public image is very important, so Yan Sheng often threatened me that if I refused to agree to him to go to Li Zheng, he would make trouble for me, and secretly take some weird scenes while I was not paying attention, which is really annoying. no way."

Jiang Xue's originally condensed expression gradually eased after hearing his complaints. After pondering for a while, he continued to ask.

"When does he usually come out?"

"Not necessarily, that's why it makes people more worried."

Yan Ge gave a wry smile, waved to summon the waiter in the restaurant, and broke the stagnant atmosphere with a smile.

"I'm hungry after talking so much, let's eat first."

Jiang Xue was still immersed in silent thinking, her lowered eyes were filled with deep and shallow light, before she could say anything, she was interrupted by the sudden ringing of the phone.

Yan Ge seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and clicked his tongue in disappointment.

"Where have you been, daughter-in-law? I've been waiting at home for a long time."

Li Zheng's dissatisfied voice came out of the microphone, Jiang Xue glanced at Yan Ge, who had been looking over for a long time, put the phone close to her ear, and said in a low voice.

"I'll be right back."

"Where are you? I'll pick you up."

"no need."

As if realizing that the tone of refusal was a bit blunt, Jiang Xue paused, and then added in a gentle voice.

"It's not far from here. I'll be home in about half an hour."

"Ah... well then, be careful on the road, if you haven't come back in half an hour, I'll go find you right away, do you hear me?"

Li Zheng babbled uneasy for a long time, and after Jiang Xue thanked her several times, she hung up the phone, and then nodded and apologized to Yan Ge with a playful face.

"Sorry, I have to go."

Yan Ge crossed his hands regretfully against his chin, his gaze was like a deep and charming ocean.

"I never force others to be difficult, so I have to see you next time."

His polite attitude made Jiang Xue feel better, so she smiled politely.

"Thank you for what you told me, I'll keep an eye on it."

Yan Ge nodded and kindly reminded.

"Don't underestimate Yan Sheng's nervousness. I will never intervene, but if he really snatches Li Zheng away, then I won't show mercy to you."

Jiang Xue glanced at him lightly, her eyes were calm and her tone was peaceful.

"It won't happen."

It's impossible to be robbed of this kind of thing.

As soon as there was a knock, the door opened from the inside. The man whose height almost blocked the entire door eagerly stretched out his arms to embrace him, rubbed his chin against his shoulder, and his aggrieved voice was full of accusations.

"Two minutes and 17 seconds late, you lied."

Jiang Xue rubbed his stiff hair smoothly, as if she was coaxing a cuddly and enthusiastic dog, her low voice revealed imperceptible tenderness.

"There is a traffic jam on the road, I didn't mean to."

Li Zheng turned his head, quickly kissed his lips and showed a satisfied smile, took the bookbag from his hand, smiled and hugged him and walked into the house.

"I'm just kidding, my daughter-in-law is so good, how can I be willing to blame her?"

After putting down the bookbag, he turned around and asked as he walked to the kitchen.

"I've already made a meal, and you can eat it after you wash your hands."

"kindness."

Jiang Xue looked in the direction of the kitchen silently for a while, then looked away.

During dinner, Li Zheng glanced at the clock on the wall and asked suddenly.

"Is it time for you to go to the retest soon?"

Jiang Xue didn't know why he asked, so she raised it unconsciously.

This was the first time that Li Zheng brought up this matter in person. He couldn't imagine what he would hear next, whether he would be strangled by an understatement or threatened by harsh words.

"Well, next Wednesday."

Jiang Xue stared at him without blinking, even holding back her breathing slightly.

Li Zheng smiled instead, with a relaxed tone.

"Don't worry, I'm just asking, and it's best to book tickets early."

A look of astonishment flashed across Jiang Xue's face, she hesitated for a moment as if she couldn't believe it, and then said tentatively.

"It's... quite far from here."

Li Zheng picked out a piece of fat and lean braised pork from the plate, put it in his bowl, and said in a relaxed tone.

"I know, but it just so happens that the company is going south for development, so even if you go there to study, I can follow along."

The casual words made Jiang Xue froze, and he unconsciously curled up with the knuckles holding the chopsticks, as if he was very confused, and he was a little bit at a loss.

Li Zheng seemed to see that he was hesitating to speak, and his raised eyebrows showed a bit of playfulness. He leaned forward and pinched his white greasy side face. His burning eyes were stained with an intimate smile, which was natural said.

"I'm afraid that you will run away if you go far away, so I will go wherever my daughter-in-law goes, and I will feel more at ease when I see you in person."

Jiang Xue lowered her eyes and muttered shyly.

"How can I be so uneasy."

"There are."

Li Zheng rubbed his pointed chin with his rough fingertips, as if he was seriously reviewing, and then said unhappily.

"You have learned to lose weight these days, and next time I will make a big tonic soup."

Jiang Xue opened her eyes slightly, looking helplessly at the table full of dishes.

"These are enough, don't worry about it."

"Who said it's enough, look at you, you're so skinny you'd be sick to hold."

Li Zheng continued to hold vegetables for him stubbornly, and soon, the bowls in front of Jiang Xue piled up like a hill.

Hearing this, Jiang Xue was stunned, and secretly squeezed her arms and abdomen, with uncertain hesitation in her brows and eyes, and her voice was so gentle that it was almost waxy.

"Understood, I will eat more."

"Good daughter-in-law."

Li Zheng's eyes were filled with joyful and gentle light, and he focused on the person who was quietly eating with his head down, wrapped in heavy love and affection.
