You chased me back

Xiang Huailin stood up and went into the bathroom, Zhang Jian felt a little uncomfortable hearing the sound of water rushing from the bathroom.

When Xiang Huailin came out of the bathroom covered in moisture, Zhang Jian followed him into the bedroom carrying the medicine box, sat by the bed, and said:

"Turn around, I'll give you some medicine..."

"Don't wipe it, it's not that serious."

Xiang Huailin waved his hand without raising his head, lifted the quilt and lay down.

He felt that Zhang Jian sat by the bed for a while, then got up and left with a sigh.Zhang Jian came back after a while, turned off the light and got under the quilt, wrapped Xiang Huailin in his arms from behind, pressed his forehead against Xiang Huailin's cervical spine, and said softly:

"sorry."

The two were silent for a long time, Zhang Jian asked:

"You knew he was back, didn't you?"

"Ah."

"When?"

"Half a month ago."

"How did you..."

"You said that there was something wrong with your new case, so I asked someone to investigate."

Although she guessed it, she couldn't help feeling sad when she heard Xiang Huailin admit Zhang Jian.Xiang Huailin already knew that he had met Ning Xiancheng, so what kind of mood did he have to pull him to pick supplies for his new home?No wonder that night Xiang Huailin suddenly asked if he liked him or not, no wonder Xiang Huailin always looked at him with depressed eyes these two days, no wonder...

If Xiang Huailin hadn't asked, Zhang Jian would have forgotten that he still owed Xiang Huailin a lot of explanations, like does he like Xiang Huailin?Like does he still love Ning Xiancheng?

Before Ning Xiancheng appeared, these problems were irrelevant, because it didn't matter whether he loved him or not, and Xiang Huailin was doing well.Everyone has already passed the age of taking love as food, why must we be obsessed with such meaningless questions as whether I love you or not?Anyway, Zhang Jian didn't think it was necessary, so he took it for granted that Xiang Huailin didn't care.

Early the next morning, Xiang Huailin opened his eyes. As usual, there was a slight sound of kitchen utensils colliding in the kitchen.

Xiang Huailin rubbed his eyes and staggered into the kitchen, Lai stared at the pot on Zhang Jian, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Daughter-in-law, what do you have for breakfast today?"

As always, it seems like nothing happened yesterday.

After breakfast, Xiang Huailin asked Zhang Jian lazily on the seat:

"It's finally a weekend, let's pick out the carpet in Xinwo today, and we can move in next month."

Zhang Jian paused when she cleaned the dining table, hesitated for a long time before saying:

"I...have to talk about a case today."

Xiang Huailin's originally bright expression turned gloomy for an instant. He wanted to make his expression look more natural, so he curled the corners of his lips stiffly, stared into Zhang Jian's eyes and asked:

"You mean... you still have to see Ning Xiancheng today?"

"Um"

Zhang Jian avoided Xiang Huailin's gaze and pretended to lower his head to clean up the table.After a long time, he heard Xiang Huailin chuckle:

"OK then."

Xiang Huailin got up and went into the cloakroom. Soon after, he changed into a casual outfit, took the car keys and went out.Before going out, he hooked Zhang Jian's neck as before and let out a loud babble near Zhang Jian's mouth.

"I'm going to drink tea with Li San'er, Qin Yang, and they may come back later at night." No tone, no expression.

Zhang Jian suddenly grabbed his wrist: "I will take care of it."

Smiling to Huailin, she turned around and kissed Zhang Jian fiercely, who caught Zhang Jian off guard.

He said he'd take care of it, not "I'll give you an answer".The former is responsibility, the latter is choice.It turned out that he would not leave.
