after running with the ball

The scorched fish was not thrown away in the end. After all, it took them several hours to catch it, so it was a pity to throw it away.Zhuo Yang threw away the paste on the outside, but the inside was still edible.

However, for the sake of their stomachs, Zhuo Yang, who is more experienced, was finally replaced to bake, and Xi Chen helped pass the seasoning.

After the two had a barbecue, it was already dark.The entire resort area was lit up, and a bonfire was lit in the distance. Many tourists gathered around, and it was very lively.Zhuo Yang and Xi Chen didn't join in, they sat by and watched for a while, then went back to the hut.

After Zhuo Yang took a shower, he checked the time and made a video call to Zhuo's mother.Zhuo's mother told him that her younger sister, Zhuo Qian, would be back in about half a month. Seeing if there was time, the family would have a meal together.

"Is it the weekend?" Zhuo Yang said in embarrassment, he had no rest on weekends.

"No." Zhuo's mother said, "It seems that the company came here to discuss the project, and she went on a business trip with her."

Zhuo Yang said: "Then I will take a rest depending on the situation."

After the two finished talking about Zhuo Qian, Zhuo's mother handed the phone to Ning Ning who had been waiting beside her.Ningning called her father, then looked around in the camera, as if looking for something.

Zhuo Yang turned around on the spot, "Ning Ning, what are you looking for?"

Ning Ning said, "Where is my Uncle Xi?"

Zhuo Yang was amused by Ning Ning's familiar tone, "Your Uncle Xi is not here."

There may indeed be strange perceptions between blood relatives. Ning Ning is very close to Xi Chen, an uncle who has only met a few times, and Xi Chen is also very patient with Ning Ning. The big and small talk every time Very happy.During the video call between Zhuo Yang and Ning Ning, Xi Chen also appeared several times. Every time, Ning Ning would happily greet Xi Chen, and Xi Chen would chat with Ning Ning.Now Zhuo Yang feels that Ning Ning seems to be more looking forward to chatting with Xi Chen than his father.

Zhuo Yang didn't feel any displeasure in his heart, he felt that this could be regarded as a kind of compensation for them.

When Xi Chen was not there, Ning Ning frowned and sighed deeply, and counted on her fingers to Zhuo Yang, "Dad, I haven't seen Uncle Xi for three days!"

Although Zhuo Yang felt that it was okay for Ningning to get in touch with Xi Chen, he also selfishly did not want Ningning to have too much expectation and affection for Xi Chen. He said: "Uncle Xi has a lot of work to do, and he You also have to spend time with your own family, so of course you can’t see him often.”

Ning Ning asked curiously, "Does Uncle Xi have any babies at home?"

"Yes." Zhuo Yang said.

Ning Ning gave a half-understood oh, Uncle Xi has a baby at home, and he will definitely be like her father, calling his little baby every day.Ning Ning said with a bit of regret: "I'm already Daddy's little baby." It would be great if she was also Uncle Xi's little baby, then she would be able to see him often.

Zhuo Yang knew what was going on in her little head at a glance, and couldn't help laughing.

The father and daughter chatted for half an hour, and it was time for Ningning to go to bed.After hanging up the phone, Zhuo Yang read the book he brought for a while and found that he was still not sleepy, so he simply picked up his phone and went downstairs.

In fact, as long as he stays with Xi Chen, Zhuo Yang is always very nervous. He will involuntarily pay attention to Xi Chen's emotions and his own reaction when facing him, which is a bit tiring.At this moment, he was sitting alone on the deck chair by the pool, watching the starry sky with the night wind blowing, and his spirit was very relaxed.

Upstairs, Xi Chen opened the door and came out. In the room just now, he heard Zhuo Yang's voice coming downstairs. He went to Zhuo Yang's door and knocked, but got no response, then walked to the window and looked down. To Zhuo Yang who was lying with his back to him.

Xi Chen also went downstairs with one hand in his pocket.

Zhuo Yang was looking at the starry sky in a daze, when he suddenly heard footsteps, looked up and saw Xi Chen walking beside him, and lay down on the chair next to him.Xi Chen followed Zhuo Yang's example, with his hands resting on the back of his head and his legs crossed. He asked, "Haven't you slept yet?"

In the place where they stayed, there was only light in the swimming pool in front. Zhuo Yang couldn't see Xi Chen's expression clearly, so he didn't feel so nervous. He replied: "I can't sleep, Mr. Xi didn't sleep anyway."

"Same as you." Xi Chen said.

Zhuo Yang smiled, and then they didn't speak any more, the two of them looked at Man Tian Xing Zi silently.

Later, when Xi Chen felt that the night wind was a bit cold, he got up and said to Zhuo Yang, "It's getting late, go to sleep."

But he didn't get a response, he approached Zhuo Yang, only to find that Zhuo Yang was breathing long, and he had fallen asleep at some point.

Xi Chen's brows moved slightly, he pushed Zhuo Yang, and raised his voice to wake Zhuo Yang up, but Zhuo Yang seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep for a while, and there was no sign of waking up at all.

When people fall asleep, they will feel that the surrounding temperature will become lower, and they will easily feel cold.Xi Chen touched Zhuo Yang's hand, and there was a cool touch, and if Zhuo Yang slept here, he would definitely catch a cold and get sick tomorrow.

Xi Chen could go to Zhuo Yang's ear and wake him up loudly, but he couldn't bear to disturb Zhuo Yang's sleep.Once a stranger and second acquaintance, Xi Chen hugged Zhuo Yang horizontally. The young man was a bit heavy, but in Xi Chen's opinion it was still light, and it was not difficult to carry him up the stairs.

Put Zhuo Yang on the bed in his room, Xi Chen covered him with a quilt, adjusted the room temperature, poured another glass of water and put it on the bedside table, then stood by the bed and stared at Zhuo Yang's sleeping face for a while, then Turn around and go back to the room.

When Zhuo Yang woke up the next day, he didn't feel anything wrong. It wasn't until he remembered the scene of watching the stars with Xi Chen last night that his heart skipped a beat and he sat up hastily.His last memory last night was the boundless starry sky above his head, and he had no memory of how he went upstairs or how he went back to his room to sleep.He was startled, and looked down, but luckily the clothes were still there.After rejoicing, Zhuo Yang couldn't help covering his forehead. He was actually worried about what happened to Xi Chen six years ago.

Zhuo Yang felt that he was too defensive against Xi Chen in his heart. Even though there was that night, Xi Chen was also affected by alcohol at that time, and there was actually his active cooperation that time.Xi Chen is not a scourge, he is a bit frightened now that he is like this.

The mobile phone on the bedside table rang, Zhuo Yang picked it up and saw that it was a message from Xi Chen, asking him if he was awake, and went downstairs for breakfast.

Zhuo Yang adjusted his mentality, replied "immediately", and then went to wash up.

Downstairs, Xi Chen was holding a tablet in his hand. Seeing Zhuo Yang coming downstairs, he put the tablet on the table and looked at Zhuo Yang, saying, "Morning."

"Morning, Mr. Xi." Zhuo Yang opened the chair and sat down opposite Xi Chen, he said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xi, I overslept a bit."

Ordering breakfast should have been done by his assistant.

"Don't worry about it." Xi Chen said, "We are here to relax."

Zhuo Yang picked up a small bun for Xi Chen's full Chinese meal, and was too embarrassed to ask Xi Chen about last night.

Xi Chen took the initiative to say, "Last night you slept too deeply, I called you several times and you didn't wake up, and I didn't want to interrupt your sleep. It's cold at night, and you'll catch a cold when you sleep outside, so I'll take you back to your room, don't you Do you mind?"

Hearing Xi Chen say "hug", Zhuo Yang felt his face was burning hot, he grabbed the bun skin, blushed and shook his head, "I don't mind, thank you President Xi."

Xi Chen smiled, and pushed the bowl of porridge at hand to him, "I heard that the seafood porridge here is a must, try it."

"Okay." Zhuo Yang took a sip, nodded and said, "It's really good."

The atmosphere between Zhuo Yang and Xi Chen was generally quiet. When eating, Zhuo Yang would occasionally pretend to glance at Xi Chen casually, and then quickly look away before Xi Chen found out.Sometimes he felt that Xi Chen was looking at him, and he could muster up the courage to look back at him at first, but every time he met Xi Chen's eyes, he had the illusion of being burned.After that, he didn't dare to look any more, and kept his head down to eat.

By afternoon, their trip to the resort was over.The next day, Zhuo Yang started his not-so-busy work life again.

A week later, Zhuo Yang received a call from Zhuo Qian.Zhuo's mother said before that she would come here for a business trip in half a month, but she didn't know the exact date. This time, Zhuo Qian called and said that she would come back next Monday. She was busy working with the company for the first two days, and she was going back to the company on Friday. She can take half a day off on Thursday.

So Zhuo Yang reported to Xi Chen that he wanted to take a vacation on Thursday, and Xi Chen agreed.

On Wednesday night, Xi Chen was going to attend a business reception, Zhuo Yang was asked by Xi Chen to follow as usual.

After arriving at the reception venue, Zhuo Yang unexpectedly met Zhuo Qian here.

Zhuo Qian is two years younger than Zhuo Yang. She has graduated from university for a year and works in the next city. She comes back basically once a month.Zhuo Qian was obviously surprised and happy to see Zhuo Yang, but because of work, she couldn't leave for the time being.She secretly pointed to the balcony next to Zhuo Yang, signaling to meet Zhuo Yang there later.

Zhuo Yang smiled and nodded, indicating that he knew.

Xi Chen turned his head to talk to Chen Ze, seeing Zhuo Yang looking away with a smile on his face, he followed Zhuo Yang's line of sight, and saw a beautiful young girl standing over there, looking at this side, He just took back his smile.

Xi Chen lowered his eyelids, and when he lifted them up again, his eyes became a little colder.

After that, Zhuo Yang, who had been paying attention to Zhuo Qian's movements, didn't notice that he was also being watched by Xi Chen.When Zhuo Yang saw Zhuo Qian walking into the terrace with a wine glass, he also told Chen Ze and walked to the terrace.Xi Chen, who was talking with other people, turned his gaze over there.

On the terrace, Zhuo Qian hugged Zhuo Yang's arm and said in surprise, "Brother, why are you here?"

Zhuo Yang smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you before, I changed jobs temporarily."

Zhuo Qian wondered: "But didn't you say that you are working as a life assistant for others?" Do life assistants also need to come to this kind of business occasion?

"Life assistant is to provide the boss with all the services that can be provided." Zhuo Yang said, "But you are also an assistant to others. Are you adapting well?"

Zhuo Qian's job is the same as Chen Ze's, both are the boss's assistant, but the rank is not as high as Chen Ze's.

Zhuo Qian briefly talked to Zhuo Yang about work. Of course, there are troubles at work, but she feels that there is no need to tell her family about these things.Zhuo Qian said that she would ask for leave from twelve o'clock tomorrow, and Zhuo Yang said that she would buy vegetables in advance and prepare them for her to eat when she came home.

Zhuo Qian began to order dishes without politeness, the brother and sister were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.When Xi Chen came over, he saw this "ambiguous" scene, and his eyes focused on Zhuo Qian and Zhuo Yang's arms.

Xi Chen didn't know Zhuo Qian, so he misunderstood.He kept tightening his hand holding the wine glass, and quickly relaxed it when Zhuo Yang found him.Then he suppressed all his emotions, walked over naturally, looked at Zhuo Qian and asked Zhuo Yang, "Who is this?"

Being stared at, Zhuo Qian suddenly felt a chill down her back.
