Xu Shanlan

Cong Zhanyi hesitated for a while, bowed his waist and asked Boss Tang to lean on his back. The pungent smell of alcohol mixed with the smell of perfume made him frown, but he didn't say anything, and walked into the room with Boss Tang on his back.

Boss Tang lives in a house of nearly [-] square meters. She is single and only has a nanny. When she returns to her home at night, the room looks empty and cold.

Boss Tang threw himself on the leather sofa, groaning impatiently as his alcohol surged.Cong Zhanyi went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water, put it on the coffee table in front of Boss Tang, and said, "Miss Tang, I have nothing to do, I'm leaving first."

Boss Tang looked at him with drunken eyes.The young man in front of her showed a vigorous breath of youth that she once had, but now she has long lost, and also had the unique tenacity and sincerity of young men.Cong Zhanyi is tall and big, with broad shoulders and broad chest. Because of his martial arts training, his muscles are tight and strong, which seems to contain infinite strength.

Boss Tang was a little confused, she stretched out her hand involuntarily, wanting to caress that kind of strength, that kind of masculinity.Cong Zhanyi flashed slightly and said, "Sister Tang, you rest first, I'm leaving."

"Peel an apple for me before you leave." Boss Tang suddenly wanted Cong Zhanyi to accompany him for a while, and he didn't know whether it was because his calm and calm demeanor made him feel at ease, or because he couldn't bear the loneliness of the night alone.

Cong Zhanyi went to the kitchen to wash his hands, took an apple from the plate on the coffee table, and slowly peeled it with a fruit knife.No matter what he says or does, he is not impatient and mature far beyond his years.

Boss Tang watched quietly from the side, watching the blushing apple skin flow down slowly between Cong Zhanyi's fingers like a thin thread.For some reason, playing with the small apple in Cong Zhanyi's generous palm made her feel extra soft.She asked gently: "Zhan Yi, do you have a girlfriend?"

She had never talked about such a personal topic with Cong Zhanyi, she thought Cong Zhanyi would feel embarrassed, but no.He said, "No." The voice was still ordinary, as if Boss Tang was asking him some insignificant questions such as whether he had eaten.

Boss Tang smiled, and she said, "You are not young, why don't you talk about one? Your vision is too high?"

Cong Zhanyi shook his head: "There is no time."

Boss Tang would not be surprised by any excuses he used, but he did not expect him to say "no time".Boss Tang covered his mouth with his hands and laughed out loud: "Oh, you mean I always make you work overtime, too busy?"

"No." Cong Zhanyi said honestly: "I have to go to work during the day, and I have to practice martial arts when I get home." He handed the peeled apple to Boss Tang, and said again, "I'll leave first if I have nothing to do."

"What's the rush?" Boss Tang smiled softly, "Is there anyone waiting at home?"

Cong Zhanyi hesitated and nodded.

"Ah, you live with your parents."

"No, it's my brother." Cong Zhanyi raised his wrist and looked at his watch, obviously no longer wanting to continue the conversation, "Sister Tang, it's really too late, my brother is still waiting for me..."

"Okay, let's go." Boss Tang thought for a while and said, "We haven't touched the cake we brought back from the hotel. Go and give it to your brother. Children love this."

Cong Zhanyi wanted to refuse, but when he thought about it, Xu Shanlan likes sweets, maybe he likes it, so he changed the words to: "Then thank you, Sister Tang." He turned to pick up the cake.Boss Tang suddenly called out, "Zhan Yi, come here."

Cong Zhanyi looked at her in surprise, Boss Tang waved: "Come here."

Cong Zhanyi approached Boss Tang hesitantly, just about to ask: What's the matter.But Boss Tang stretched out his slender fingers, pulled out a long hair from his clothes, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "This can't be taken home, it's not good for my younger brother to see it." On Zhan Yi's shoulder, he said softly: "Okay, let's go."

This kind of action, this kind of tone, is really too ambiguous, not to mention Boss Tang Yingying's gaze has never moved away.Cong Zhanyi looked indifferent and said, "Okay, see you, Miss Tang."

Boss Tang watched Cong Zhanyi push the door away, picked up the peeled apple, and took a bite.

Cong Zhanyi went out and took a deep breath before suppressing the restlessness in his heart.He has never been a good-tempered person, and he has no patience. In fact, he has completely inherited his father's violent temper in his bones, but he has suppressed it since he was a child.Just now when Boss Tang picked up the hair on his shoulders, Cong Zhanyi had a very strong urge to slap this shameless old woman, but he held back in the end.Because she is a woman after all, and she is also her own boss.

Cong Zhanyi threw the cake on the back seat, the car drove fast in the middle of the empty road, and returned home in just over ten minutes.

Xu Shanlan hasn't slept yet, just drank milk and watched TV on the big sofa.Hearing the sound of a car sliding on the road in front of the door, he jumped up like a rabbit and ran to open the door.

"How is today?" Cong Zhanyi stroked the boy's soft hair.The fresh aroma of the shampoo and the aroma of milk floated over together, sweeping away the decadent smell left by Boss Tang, making people very warm.

"Absolutely complete the task." Xu Shanlan grinned, "Practice Changquan, swordsmanship and spearmanship once."

"Yes." Cong Zhanyi was noncommittal, and gave the cake to Xu Shanlan.Xu Shanlan's eyes lit up: "Did you buy it for me?"

"Sister Tang brought it back from the hotel at night." Cong Zhanyi said as he walked upstairs.

"Oh." Xu Shanlan wrinkled her little nose, glanced at the kitsch pink box with disgust, picked it up and threw it into the trash can.

"I don't like that Sister Tang at all." He caught up with Cong Zhanyi and muttered, "You look so old, and you still have to put on makeup, like an old goblin—I threw the cake away."

Throw it away and throw it away, Cong Zhanyi didn't care about that, and said, "Women are like this."

"That's why girls are in big trouble." Xu Shanlan thought of those girls in his class who were very loud and violent, and would pinch boys at every turn. "It's scary."

Cong Zhanyi looked at him winking and couldn't help laughing: "How many women do you know? What do you know at a young age?"

"Why don't I know." Xu Shanlan pursed her lips, "My mother is very powerful. I heard her scolding her employees on the phone, and she scolded her staff terribly. And... and Aunt Feng..." Aunt Feng It was Xu Shanlan's stepmother, the female graduate student who turned other people's marriages upside down.Xu Shanlan couldn't continue, and finally concluded, "Anyway...it's not very good anyway."

Parents have the most profound influence on their children, even when they are not around.Cong Zhanyi only thought of him as a child, and didn't take it seriously, so he took a big bath towel to take a bath.

Xu Shanlan scratched his head and said in a low voice, "Brother, my dad is coming to see me."

"Huh?" Cong Zhanyi paused.This is the tacit understanding of living together for a long time. The other party only needs to say a word, and there is no need to say more, and the other party already understands the hidden meaning.Since Xu Shanlan was in the fourth grade, his father came to see him, and he still loved the only son very much.But both Xu Shanlan and Cong Zhanyi knew that Xu's father would put a lot of pressure on Xu Shanlan every time he came, and would make him unhappy for several days.

Cong Zhanyi walked back, patted Xu Shanlan on the shoulder comfortingly, and pulled his neck close to him: "Okay, it's only two days, bear with it and it will pass."

Xu Shanlan smiled slightly, with a bit of bitterness in his smile: "What can I do if I can't bear it?" He looks lazy on the outside, but his heart is extremely fragile and sensitive, and even the slightest disturbance will make him uncomfortable for several days.Cong Zhanyi didn't want him to think too much about such unchangeable things, so he asked casually, "What else?"

"Ah, that's right." Xu Shanlan acted as if he had just remembered. Seeing that Cong Zhanyi had turned around and walked into the bathroom, he hurriedly raised his voice, "Our school is going to sweep the grave tomorrow, so you can't be absent."

The door of the bathroom was closed, and there was the sound of rushing water, and then Cong Zhanyi's voice: "Okay, I got it, let's go."

Xu Shanlan raised the corners of his lips, his mood jumped up, he secretly raised two fingers to gesture a victory gesture he had just learned, and shouted: "Brother, I'll get you clothes." The voice was so loud that I was startled, Pursing her lips to hold back a smile, she slipped away lightly.

Cong Zhanyi got dressed and walked out of the bathroom, wiping his hair with a towel.Xu Shanlan got under the covers, played Tetris with a game console, frowned and pouted, as if his whole body was trying to follow those gadgets.

The phone rang suddenly, and Cong Zhanyi picked it up: "Hello."

"You haven't slept yet." Yin Yi's indifferent voice came from the phone, "I heard from your father that you are driving a female boss?"

"En." Cong Zhanyi put down the towel in his hand, he knew in his heart that Yin Yi's call was definitely not just because he changed jobs.

Yin Yi sighed: "Zhan Yi, when can you come to help your father? It's not easy for him to maintain a school." Yin Yi paid great attention to the address of Jungle in front of Cong Zhanyi. When he said "your father", in fact Cong Zhanyi himself has not called Jungle Dad for nearly 20 years.Yin Yi is working hard on all the little things, trying to bridge the relationship between the father and son as much as possible.

Cong Zhanyi said: "Having Haiping to help him is enough."

"That's different, you are his son." Yin Yi earnestly said.

Cong Zhanyi smiled inexplicably, like irony, and said, "Master, what can you do?"

Yin Yi was silent for a while, the father and son were equally irritable and stubborn, but one showed the other was forbearing, so he had no choice but to change the subject: "There will be a provincial martial arts competition in a while, I want you to participate, give it to the martial arts school Get famous."

"Is Haiping not going to participate?"

"Participate, but one more person is more sure. Now there are many martial arts schools in S City, and there are public sports schools. The competition is fierce. This is a good opportunity to create a reputation."

Cong Zhanyi snatched the game console from Xu Shanlan's hand, raised his jaw to signal him to get into the bed quickly, and said, "The sea level is good, and I can get a good grade." Xu Shanlan stuck out his tongue, lay down obediently and pulled it up Quilt.But he was also curious about the phone call between the senior brother and the senior uncle, showing his eyes rolling around.

"But not as good as you." Yin Yi tried to persuade Cong Zhanyi, "Your foundation is solid, your temperament is stable, and you can play your due level in the competition."

Cong Zhanyi thought for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Uncle Shi, did Master ask you to persuade me?"

"No, no." Yin Yi thought for a while, but still told the truth, "I think..."

"I'm not a student of a martial arts school, so I'm not qualified to participate." Cong Zhanyi put down the phone, and Xu Shanlan quickly closed his eyes.Cong Zhanyi saw it, and slapped him on the buttocks, "Quickly go to bed, and get up tomorrow morning to practice."
