after running with the ball

Xi Chen's expression is always very light, he hardly smiles at ordinary times, even if he smiles, it is usually not obvious.This was the first time Zhuo Yang saw such an obvious smile on Xi Chen's face, the smile came into his eyes, making Xi Chen look very gentle.

Zhuo Yang stood very close to Xi Chen. He faced Xi Chen's gentle gaze at close range, and felt as if he was suddenly attacked. His heart beat faster and his breathing became difficult.

Xi Chen was stared at by Zhuo Yang in a daze, he bent slightly, and brought his face closer to Zhuo Yang, with a low voice, "What are you looking at?"

Zhuo Yang turned his head quickly, lowered his eyes, blushed, and said in a low voice: "I didn't see anything."

Xi Chen looked at his red ears, curled his lips and stood up, "Let's go."

Xi Chen turned around, Zhuo Yang stopped at the spot and took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly, before following Xi Chen's footsteps.

The two left the company and drove to the restaurant that Zhuo Yang had reserved.

According to Xi Chen's request, Zhuo Yang ordered a western restaurant, which was located on the top floor of a shopping mall, facing the window, where he could see the star curtain and city lights in the distance, and the night view was very good.When people face open scenery, their emotions will generally be affected.Zhuo Yang sat by the window and looked down, his mood brightened up a little bit.

The soft and pleasant sound of the violin sounded in the dining room, Xi Chen took out a small box and handed it to Zhuo Yang, "This is for you."

Zhuo Yang reached out to take it, "Give it to me?"

"Open it and have a look." Xi Chen said.

Zhuo Yang opened the box as promised.Inside is a silver bracelet, the chain is shining under the light, and in the luster is a pendant shaped like a button.

Zhuo Yang has seen this bracelet many times, and it is very similar to the one Xi Chen wears on his left hand.He cast his eyes on Xi Chen's left hand on the table, and saw that the wrist of Xi Chen's left hand was empty, and the previous bracelet was gone.

Zhuo Yang closed the box, "Mr. Xi, this is..."

Xi Chen saw the doubt in his eyes, his eyes darkened for a moment, and then said: "You can take it as a gift, I hope you wear it, but it seems not now."

"Mr. Xi..." Xi Chen's words made Zhuo Yang very confused, why did you give him a gift?And this gift is still the bracelet that he used to wear every day that looks very cherished. Why do you want him to wear it but not now?

However, Xi Chen was unwilling to say more, so Zhuo Yang could only let go of his doubts first, and gave him the birthday present he bought for Xi Chen, "Mr. Xi, happy birthday."

"Thank you." Xi Chen took the gift and put it away without opening it.

Because of Xi Chen's emphatic tone and Yan Kai's words about the two-person world on the phone, Zhuo Yang had some expectations for the dinner tonight. It's just the same meal as usual.

Zhuo Yang was still a little disappointed in his heart, and after this emotion came out, he felt that he was hypocritical, because it seemed that he who rejected Xi Chen six years ago was pretending to be reserved.

After returning to the villa at night, Zhuo Yang took out the bracelet given by Xi Chen again.This bracelet was worn on Xi Chen's hand before, and he could only glance at it every time. It was not convenient to look at it carefully in the restaurant before. Now he faced the light and found that the pendant shaped like a button was not similar in shape. The only one is a very common and common resin button.

"Why is it a button?" Fingertips unconsciously twirling the thin chain, Zhuo Yang stared blankly at the chain information found on the computer, this chain is expensive, how could Xi Chen use an ordinary button as a pendant? ?

The most important thing is why give it to him?If you can't wear it now, when can you wear it?Zhuo Yang really couldn't understand what Xi Chen wanted to express.After pondering for a while and still having no idea, Zhuo Yang had no choice but to put away the bracelet, and went to wash up full of doubts.

……

It rained lightly in the morning of the next day, so Zhuo Yang and Xi Chen moved their running place to the gym, and after the end, they went back to their rooms to wash up.

When Zhuo Yang went downstairs, Xi Chen was already sitting downstairs. He was wearing the clothes Zhuo Yang had matched for him, but the tie he was wearing was not Zhuo Yang's matching, but it was Zhuo Yang's birthday yesterday. The one that was given to him as a gift.

Xi Chen's own tie is the same color as his clothes, both in cooler tones, but the tie that Zhuo Yang gave him is a blue background with gold stripes, which is very ostentatious in his cool-toned outfit.

But this bit of publicity did not overwhelm the guests, instead it highlighted Xi Chen's low-key and restrained temperament, making him look more dignified, and there was a bit of romantic taste in it, making him very eye-catching.

When Zhuo Yang chose this tie, although he thought it was very suitable for Xi Chen, judging from the color of the clothes in Xi Chen's cloakroom, he didn't think Xi Chen would wear this tie, but he didn't expect to see it the next day. The way Xi Chen wore it.

When Aunt Wang brought out the dishes, she also noticed that Xi Chen's collocation was different today, so she said with a smile: "Mr. Xi's tie looks good today."

Xi Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Zhuo Yang, and said, "From Zhuo Yang."

Aunt Wang praised Zhuo Yang, "Mr. Zhuo has a good eye."

Zhuo Yang sat down at the dining table and said softly, "It's Mr. Xi who looks good."

"Thank you." The corners of Xi Chen's mouth rose, as if he was very happy.

Zhuo Yang immediately wanted to bury his face in the porridge bowl in front of him, why did he feel so nympho when it came out of his mouth to praise someone's appearance?

After breakfast, Xi Chen gave Zhuo Yang a task. Next month is the birthday of Xi Chen's second aunt. He asked Zhuo Yang to help choose a birthday present.

For this birthday gift, Zhuo Yang worked hard for more than half a month before handing over the alternative items he had selected to Xi Chen, who then decided on the final gift.When Zhuo Yang got the address and started booking air tickets, he found out that the second aunt Xi Chen was located in the old city where he used to live for more than ten years.

Because of Ningning's special background, in order to prevent others from discovering the abnormality, after Zhuo Yang gave birth to her, she moved out of the old city with Zhuo's mother and settled in the current city.The best and worst of Zhuo Yang's past life happened in the old city, but the bad outweighed the good, so Zhuo Yang didn't miss that city.

When he moved away, Zhuo Yang hypocritically packed up all the memories to say goodbye, including all the memories related to Xi Chen.At that time, he thought that he would never have anything to do with Xi Chen again in this life, so he was about to start a new life, but he didn't expect that fate would take a few turns and they would meet again.

……

Two days later, Zhuo Yang and Xi Chen landed in the old city, and the person who came to pick them up was Yan Kai, and Xi Chen's second aunt was Yan Kai's mother.

When Yan Kai saw them, seeing that Xi Chen was still treating Zhuo Yang in a businesslike manner, he clicked his tongue and looked at Xi Chen rather speechlessly, "Brother, can you do it!"

"Can you talk?" Xi Chen glanced at Yan Kai, threw his and Zhuo Yang's suitcases to Yan Kai, and continued walking with Zhuo Yang.

"I'm not in a hurry for you!"

Yan Kai said bitterly, handed the suitcase to the driver to chase after him, stuck it to Zhuo Yang's side, and began to babble, "Assistant Zhuo, do you think my brother is cold?"

Zhuo Yang said: "Boss Xi just doesn't like talking very much." Xi Chen just appeared indifferent because he showed less emotion and talked less, but his real temperament was not actually indifferent.

Yan Kai was surprised and said: "This is still called 'not too'? You don't know that when I first met him, I thought he was practicing closed-mouth meditation!"

Zhuo Yang said with a sullen smile, "Mr. Yan, it's not that exaggerated."

"That's because you don't know him before." Yan Kai snorted, "According to my grandfather, my brother didn't know how to laugh when he was three years old, and he didn't cry when he was unhappy. He hummed twice at most. That stupid look frightened them."

Listening to these, Xi Chen's expression was still calm, and Zhuo Yang felt that if he was like this since he was a child, it would be quite scary.

When he got to the car, Xi Chen opened the door and let Zhuo Yang get in the car.Yan Kai excitedly followed Zhuo Yang into the car, but was pushed away by Xi Chen with his back collar, and sat in by himself.

"That's not very smart." Yan Kai muttered, and sat in the co-pilot honestly.

On the way to Yan's house, Yan Kai never stopped talking about Xi Chen.So Zhuo Yang knew for the first time that Xi Chen had actually been living abroad before he was 15 years old.Because his feelings are too indifferent, Xi's family has always been worried. In the end, the family adopted Grandpa Xi Chen's advice and sent Xi Chen back to China, allowing him to leave his original environment and enter a more public life. Increase his perception of emotion.

Then Xi Chen was sent to Yan's house to study with Yan Kai.For Xi Chen, Mrs. Yan also worried about it. Mrs. Yan organizes Xi Chen's birthday party every year, and there are other large and small gatherings. Every time, Xi Chen's classmates are invited for the purpose of Enrich Xi Chen's emotions.

Zhuo Yang didn't know if Xi Chen's emotions were rich in the end, but he felt that at that time, Xi Chen was going in and out with Yan Kai, a chatterbox all day long, and he must have improved in the number of words he said. At least he felt that Xi Chen was talking now. The frequency is still quite high, much higher than when I was studying.

After arriving at Yan's house, Zhuo Yang met Mrs. Yan, a very approachable and gentle lady.

"You are Xiao Zhuo." Mrs. Yan looked at Zhuo Yang and said with a smile, "Thank you for taking care of us, Chen Chen."

Zhuo Yang hurriedly said: "Madam Yan, you are being polite, this is all my duty."

"You are humble. It is not easy for people who can stay with Chenchen to do things." Mrs. Yan said with a smile.

Zhuo Yang smiled embarrassedly, he thought his skills were quite simple...

This time is Mrs. Yan's 50th birthday. Not only relatives from the Xi family, but also many from the Yan family came to celebrate Mrs. Yan's birthday.When Zhuo Yang and the others arrived at Yan's house, there were already many people sitting in the Yan's living room, but most of them were young people.

Zhuo Yang didn't go in with Xi Chen, he went to the bathroom first, and sat down next to Xi Chen after he came out.

Then he noticed that the people sitting around the sofa suddenly cast their gazes at him. There were shock, surprise, and admiration in those gazes.

Zhuo Yang looked back puzzled.

Aunt Yan's family brought some fruit plates, and Xi Chen pushed a pineapple fruit plate that Zhuo Yang liked to eat in front of him, "Zhuo Yang, eat pineapple."

"Thank you, Mr. Xi." Zhuo Yang looked away, picked up a small fork and ate a piece of pineapple.

This directly shocked the jaws of a group of people.
