Baby

It's just that fate seems to be playing with him.Lan Shijing's Shangcheng company once again sent her to accompany the manager on a business trip to Jiang Ye's company to discuss cooperation.

During the business meeting, when Jiang Ye opened the door and saw Lan Shijing in business attire sitting next to the boss, his vision suddenly went dark, and the word "embarrassment" floated in his mind.

There are flags everywhere in life.

After work, Jiang Ye ordered a cup of coffee from the vending machine in the office building, took a sip and sighed while holding the cup, wondering how to bring this matter up to Tang Li.Lan Shijing happened to walk over in high heels, looked at him and smiled and said, "It's a coincidence."

Jiang Ye nodded, then sighed again.

Lan Shijing chuckled: "Why are you still worried? Didn't we have a good conversation at work just now. Our two families may develop a long-term cooperative relationship."

Jiang Ye shrugged: "It's pretty good."

"Right." Lan Shijing approached Jiang Ye and whispered to him, "Guess what our boss told me?"

"Ok?"

"He said he admired you."

Jiang Ye now understood what Lan Shijing meant.No wonder Lan Shijing came to chat with him so actively as soon as the conversation was over.He held the paper cup and smiled, "You want to poach a corner?"

"I didn't say anything," Lan Shijing cleared her throat, "You have my number anyway."

Jiang Ye was not very interested, so he just smiled apologetically: "I have no plans to change jobs in the near future."

"Okay then." After the business talk, Lan Shijing stretched her waist, and also bent down to buy a bottle of juice from the vending machine, and asked while drinking, "Then why are you worrying?"

Jiang Ye was silent for a while, then sighed softly.

"Tang Li..."

"Huh? What?"

"That person in front of the specialty store that day was really Tang Li." Jiang Ye coughed lightly, "He saw us."

Lan Shijing smiled nonchalantly, "Oh, just see it if you see it, it's nothing."

"He seems a little... angry."

"Angry?" Lan Shijing couldn't figure it out, "Why?"

Jiang Ye smiled awkwardly, and Lan Shijing fell into deep thought.

In her impression, Jiang Ye's younger brother did have some hostility towards her when she was young.But that was a long time ago. It is understandable for children who are ignorant to feel that outsiders have robbed their elder brother and come here to compete for favor.But now that it's been so long, it stands to reason that he won't be as jealous and angry as a child anymore, but why does he still seem to have an obsession?Lan Shijing began to seriously reflect on herself, what did she do wrong before to offend this young master?

But in fact, Jiang Ye and his younger brother have no real blood relationship, and when she was with them before, she always felt that the way the two brothers got along was very strange... Even now, the strange way Nothing has changed.Generally speaking, would an older brother be so clingy to a younger brother, and would a younger brother dominate his elder brother like this?

The conditions of the two people are obviously good in all aspects, but they have been single so far, and their relationship experience is almost zero.In modern society, this is either celibacy or...

Lan Shijing is a smart and sensitive woman, she guessed two or three points in a daze.

real or fake?

They wouldn't be, would they?

Lan Shijing pursed her lips, a little surprised on her face.Jiang Ye was still in a daze, and she thought for a while in silence.

"I used to always feel that something was wrong, but now it seems..." Lan Shijing drank the juice, threw the cup into the trash can, and smiled at Jiang Ye, "Maybe my instinct is right."

Jiang Ye didn't understand: "What intuition?"

"Let's talk about it next time." Lan Shijing waved her hand, "My boss urged me to go back first. I'll talk to you in a few days after the meeting time, bye~"

"Ah."

Jiang Ye watched Lan Shijing leave, then frowned, and threw the empty paper cup into the trash can.

On this rest day, Jiang Ye was lazily nestling on the sofa, eating snacks and watching TV.After seven o'clock in the evening, Tang Li opened the door of the house in a sportswear.There was a lively sound at the door, as if Tang Li had sent the goat back to his parents' house next door.

"Oh, I'm back." Jiang Ye was still staring at the TV screen, when he heard Tang Li open the door and walk in, he opened his mouth to greet casually, "Why are you so early these days? You still have time to go out for a walk with the dog when you come back."

Today, Tang Li took the goat from his parents' house next door to play with him. He just came home from a walk with the dog, sweating all over his body.He smiled and said, "The business in the store is good. I want to hire some helpers recently, so that I don't have to go to the store often."

Some time ago, the store had just been renovated, and now it is planning to hire a few new people.Tang Li's small business is booming, and the task of carrying forward his master's craftsmanship is just around the corner. Jiang Ye is also happy for him.

Jiang Ye used the remote control to turn down the volume of the TV, "That's pretty good. In the future, you can take more rest and be a little boss who counts money."

Tang Li walked up to Jiang Ye with a smile, and handed him the milk tea in his hand: "Brother, I saw it while walking the dog and thought you would like it, so I bought it."

Jiang Ye took a look at the long-lost red bean pudding.He smiled and took a sip from the straw.Although it is not the same shop as when I was a child, the sweet taste is very similar.

After Jiang Ye took the milk tea, Tang Li took off his coat and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Ten minutes later, Tang Li walked out wearing short sleeves.Jiang Ye was a little apprehensive, so he decided to speak: "Cough, Tang Li."

"Huh?" Tang Li wiped his hair with a towel while sitting beside Jiang Ye.The goat came over with its Mao Mao shaking its head, lying on Tang Li's chest and sticking out its tongue.

"I saw Lan Shijing again recently."

As soon as the words came out, Tang Li's movements froze.Jiang Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately became nervous.But he had already learned the lesson from last time, ever since he knew Tang Li was so sensitive about Lan Shijing's affairs, he no longer had the idea of ​​hiding Tang Li from meeting Lan Shijing.

Jiang Ye decided to be more frank.

"It's because of work—our two companies have long-term cooperation intentions."

Tang Li slowly put down the towel and became silent.Jiang Ye gritted his teeth and was about to explain, but before he could speak, the phone rang suddenly.

Jiang Ye glanced at the caller ID on the screen, and he would call whatever he was afraid of.Sighing, he still connected the phone, "Well, it's me."

"Manager Jiang, the next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, is that okay?"

It's about work.Jiang Ye glanced at Tang Li, and suddenly took the phone away from his ear, as if to prove something, he resolutely switched on the speakerphone.

Lan Shijing's voice suddenly resounded in the air exponentially: "Hello? Manager Jiang?"

"Well, I'm here." Jiang Ye responded into the microphone, his eyes drifting towards Tang Li's direction, "No problem, it will be three o'clock in the afternoon next Wednesday."

Tang Li's face became hot, but he didn't move away.

"Then I'll bring the contract and book a seat in advance next Wednesday. By the way, Mr. Liu has a picky taste and can't eat seafood. Does Manager Jiang have any taboos for his guests?"

Jiang Ye looked at Tang Li and said, "I'll arrange it when the time comes."

"Well, good. That's your hard work."

"You're welcome."

That look seemed to be saying, "Praise me quickly, she and I are really just a purely working relationship, and we will never be selfless." The haze in Tang Li's heart gradually dissipated, and seeing Jiang Ye's expression like asking for credit, he couldn't help but feel He pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled.

However, Lan Shijing's next words quickly brought the warm atmosphere back to freezing point again.

"Okay, I'm done talking about work now. I also want to ask you, are you free now? Our two old classmates haven't seen each other for more than ten years. How about going out for a drink and catching up? "

Reminisce?Didn't the meeting on the first day of meeting be well discussed?Jiang Ye didn't know why Lan Shijing suddenly asked this question, but what caught people off guard was that she directly said, "I'll wait for you at the bar next to your company. I'm treating you today. See you soon." scattered."

Immediately afterwards, he hung up the phone without any hesitation.

"..."

"..."

Jiang Ye was still in a daze, but the busy tone came from the phone.Look up again, cough——

Before he could react, Tang Li suddenly asked, "Brother, are you going?"

Jiang Ye paused and fell into serious thinking.In fact, now he and Lan Shijing really have no personal relationship, and Lan Shijing asked her out so strangely, it doesn't look like she is courting her for nothing.Maybe, is there really something important to say?But if you go to the appointment, Tang Li...

Before Jiang Ye could come up with a result, Tang Li suddenly turned around and left.Jiang Ye looked up in astonishment, just in time to see Tang Li's back going to the bedroom.

Why!This vinegar radish!

Jiang Ye hurried to catch up, and squeezed his palm into the crack of the door a second before Tang Li was about to close the door.Tang Li hesitated for a second, but Jiang Ye took advantage of the space and sneaked in.

When Jiang Ye came in, he closed the door behind him.The door lock made a clear sound, and Jiang Ye had a naughty smile on his face.

"Why are you angry? I haven't promised her to go yet."

Tang Li blushed, sat on the bed with his back to Jiang Ye, and turned away without saying a word.

Jiang Ye locked the door, smiled with one corner of his mouth, and walked towards Tang Li, "Look, as soon as she called just now, I immediately turned on the speakerphone. I trust you so much, which is enough to prove that I am Are you clear?"

Tang Li still didn't respond, so Jiang Ye sat next to him cheeky again, stretching out his hand to shave Tang Li's temples lightly, and coaxing him softly: "She and I are working together. relationship, so it is inevitable that we will come into contact. Don’t be angry, okay?”

Tang Li hesitated for a few seconds, then slowly stretched out his feet.

Jiang Ye blinked, and there were a few question marks written on his face, but he didn't understand what he meant.Tang Li's movements paused, and then he lifted his trousers again. Without turning his head to meet Jiang Ye's eyes, he suddenly said in a muffled voice, "While walking the dog just now... I accidentally sprained my foot."

Sprained your ankle?Jiang Ye frowned, and reached out to lift up some of Tang Li's pants. His ankle looked normal under the light, and it didn't look like he was injured.But Jiang Ye was still a little worried. After all, Tang Li's leg was bruised a few days ago due to a car accident. This issue cannot be ignored.

"Where does it hurt?" So Jiang Ye patiently swept Tang Li's ankle and sole of his foot with his palm, and rubbed it carefully when he reached the joint, "Here? Here? Why did you tell me? How did you twist it just now?" ? Do you want me to get some medicine for Tutu?"

Tang Li's face turned red again, and he turned his head so that Jiang Ye could not see his expression.Jiang Ye didn't stop massaging for him, the strength was just right, Tang Li was massaged very comfortably, and gradually opened the gap between his brows.He snorted a few times, loosened his grip on the bed sheet, and slowly spit out what he wanted to say from his lips.

"Brother, I need you now too." So, "Can you not go to her..."

Jiang Ye was in a daze for a few seconds, and the surprise on his face was gradually replaced by warmth.

Speaking of which, this was probably the first time that Tang Li made a seemingly "willful" request to him.

In the past, Tang Li would accept his badness or his goodness without saying a word.When Tang Li was a lonely child who was overwhelmed by the shadow of his childhood, he rarely expressed his inner thoughts actively.Good or bad, like or dislike, all hidden in the heart.For this reason, the family usually adopts the method of "guessing" to give Tang Li the care they think is appropriate.

But the child's emotions couldn't be hidden after all, and Jiang Ye's meticulous observation made him become Tang Li's little friend who "knows him best" and was inseparable from him every day.But little Jiang Ye is a boy after all, he is not so thoughtful and often careless.Little Tang Li's many obscure and unpredictable emotions gradually melted into time.

Tang Li never said that he wanted it, Jiang Ye just guessed that he might like it, and every time he guessed right in the end.This seems to have become a fixed pattern for the two brothers to get along with each other.

After so many years of absence, Tang Li has grown a lot in the blink of an eye.When I got home again, it was already the same as before.Now Tang Li is a mature man who is considerate and caring for his family, trying his best to give the whole family the best happiness, and taking care not to cause trouble to the family.Have your own career goals, live an independent and sunny life.This was a very good thing, but even so, Jiang Ye still felt like something was missing in his heart.

So today, when Tang Lihong said these words slowly with his nose, Jiang Ye was instantly enlightened.

It turned out that what they lacked was the courage to break through that barrier.

In the past, although I was ignorant and loved to play around when I was a child, I covered the quilt at night, and the two of them lay face to face and chatted quietly, and the two hearts were tightly attached.But now, although he would habitually climb onto Tang Li's bed once in a while, his younger brother just said "good night" politely, then turned his head and closed his eyes and went to sleep.Although Jiang Ye understands that their brotherhood is still there, and Tang Li still loves his family simply, he always feels...there is a little gap between the two of them, and Tang Li has many words in his heart that he does not want to accept. tell him.

But now Tang Li is trying to speak to him.

The love is expressed, the wall of separation is broken, and the flood of emotion seems to be broken since then.

It turns out that "I love you" is not the end, but a new beginning, bringing both of them closer.

Eyes were stained with ecstasy, Jiang Ye couldn't restrain his excitement and reached out to grab Tang Li's feet, pulling him into his arms.Tang Li lost his balance in astonishment, and when he opened his eyes again, Jiang Ye had already held his legs in his arms.

Tang Li's face was blood red, and he subconsciously flapped his hands trying to break free.Jiang Ye hugged him even tighter, and kissed Tang Li loudly on Tang Li's knee: "You are really my little baby."

His younger brother was jealous because of him.She was also acting like a baby to him in order to keep him.

His heart is going to soften.

Tang Li was stunned for a second before slowly realizing that his request was affirmed.He buried his flushed face in his arms, unwilling to say a word.

His younger brother always brings him various surprises.

Jiang Ye rolled his eyes with a smile, bent down again, and kissed Tang Li's ankle with a "boo".He raised his eyes, looked at his younger brother happily, and showed a silly smile: "I won't go. I won't go to see her. Tonight, I will stay with you at home and rub your legs."

Tang Li's eyes were gentle: "Yes."

Tang Li really changed a lot, which surprised and delighted Jiang Ye.Today he realized for the first time that his younger brother also had a desire to possess him, and it was much stronger than his own.

Tang Li didn't even want to let him meet Lan Shijing.

Jiang Ye laughed foolishly, and Tang Li's brows and eyes gradually softened.Looking at the side face of his brother who was meticulously massaging his toes, Tang Li couldn't hold back after all, and leaned forward to kiss Jiang Ye's cheek lightly.

Surprise flashed across Jiang Ye's eyes for a moment, but soon, his face was filled with a sweet smirk.
