half thorns, half joy

"..." Tang Xuan neither affirmed nor denied, she looked at Ke Ke and remained silent.

It is impossible to hide liking someone, and it is even more difficult to love.

It took a long time for Tang Xuan to speak calmly, and answered irrelevantly, "I promise to complete the task, you don't have to worry."

Ke Ke snorted, "Really? Can I trust you? What if you don't want to turn back at the end?"

"If I'm not determined, I won't give all the information to Officer Liu." Tang Xuan didn't like Ke Ke's eyes, and even less liked Ke Ke's tone, "Even if I do have feelings for Xiao Zihan, you don't want to give up all the information." You don't have the right to question me like that."

"Well, I'm really not qualified. I'm not someone like you, and I have nothing to do with you. But..." Coco changed the subject, "If you dare to mess up this matter, not only will I not let you go, You won't let Xiao Zihan go, he is Xiao Mingyuan's son, you have to know, no matter how much you love him, you won't be able to protect him."

Tang Xuan looked at Ke Ke incredulously, "What do you mean by that? Why did you suddenly stop trusting me? I'll do whatever you want. I haven't violated you in any way since the beginning. Why do you say that? Such ugly words."

Seeing that Tang Xuan was really angry, Ke Ke suddenly laughed again, "Oh, I'm just joking, it makes you nervous, you are so easily agitated, you can't hide from Xiao Mingyuan's nose."

Tang Xuan pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.

"I'm not worried. People must have superfluous emotions, and what they do is full of uncertainty. What I said just now is also my advice to you." Ke Ke put her hand on the back of Tang Xuan's hand as a gesture of goodwill. Come on, smiled and said: "I actually love you very much. It's really hard to hide from the one I love."

It's more than uncomfortable, it's heartbreaking.

But no matter how painful it was, it was Tang Xuan's business alone. She didn't expect Ke Ke to understand, and she didn't want Ke Ke, an outsider, to dictate her relationship with Xiao Zihan.

Tang Xuan paused, then looked at Ke Ke, "How's it going with you, has Lao Deng's case been investigated?"

"I can't find him." Ke Ke's face darkened, and she withdrew her hand in frustration, "Old Deng and Xiao's family were originally just a simple cooperative relationship, and there was nothing involved. This time, the main target is the Xiao family. "

"Then you..." According to Tang Xuan's guess, Ke Ke sold her body to stay with Lao Deng as a lover, and it must be for revenge. Isn't everything in vain?

Ke Ke said fiercely: "But even if he doesn't die, it's enough for him to shed a layer of skin. If he wants to protect himself, he has to let go of a lot of property, and the loss is not small."

Tang Xuan sighed.

No way, no matter how much they know, they still have to rely on the police at a time like this. People at the level of Lao Deng and Xiao Mingyuan can't move at all.

"And..." Ke Ke pursed her lips, "Old Deng already doubts me a little."

"What?" Tang Xuan was shocked.

Ke Ke: "I have this feeling, but I'm not sure. He hasn't contacted me for several days. When I went to him last time, he was discussing things with several giants, and he paid me out for the first time."

Tang Xuan became frightened. If Ke Ke was exposed, then...would she soon be exposed too?
Ke Ke seemed to see Tang Xuan's thoughts, and comforted Tang Xuan, "Don't worry, I meet many women every day, even if he sends someone to check on me, he won't suspect you. If he wants to lay hands on me, I will never confess you."

"This... No, don't think so desperately about the matter. Doesn't it mean that he can't be found out, then he shouldn't doubt the people around him." Tang Xuan couldn't think of anything to comfort Ke Ke. Can only talk nonsense.

Ke Ke didn't answer, just sat silently.

She suddenly thought, if Lao Deng could love her like Xiao Zihan loved Tang Xuan, then even if she was discovered, nothing would happen.

But how could that be possible, Lao Deng only regarded her as one of many lovers, and she also hated Lao Deng.

That's why Ke Ke doesn't understand or accept Tang Xuan, why Tang Xuan can fall in love with her enemy's son, and still love each other.

Isn't this looking for guilt?
Tang Xuan saw that Ke Ke had been silent, and thought about it for a while to give Ke Ke a suggestion, "Why don't you stop participating in this matter for the time being, and do something else to divert Lao Deng's attention, anyway, Police Officer Liu has already started the final closing of the net. Now, you should be still and not move."

"...I know how to do it." Coco restrained his emotions and said lightly: "You don't have to worry about me, you should think about how to deal with Xiao Zihan first. By the way, when is your wedding scheduled?"

Tang Xuan closed her mouth and shook her head.

Coco showed a sarcastic smile, "If it can be done before the storm comes, it will be interesting, then I will also participate."

"Really, let's see a joke." Tang Xuan smiled bitterly.

Ke Ke asked, "Otherwise, I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years. Do you think you and him have this possibility?"

of course not.

Tang Xuan knew it a long time ago, and she was not afraid of Keke's ridicule. If Keke said something to bless her, she would feel that Keke was really mocking her.

"It's nothing, I'm leaving." Tang Xuan stood up and looked at her watch, "I came out in a hurry today, and I didn't tell Xiao Zihan, I have to go back early."

"Huh?" Keke was puzzled, as if she didn't understand Tang Xuan's words.

Tang Xuan didn't intend to explain, seeing that Keke really had nothing to ask, so she said goodbye and left the milk tea shop.

Tang Xuan walked on the street, wandered aimlessly for a while, visited a flower shop, and walked in.

"Do you want to buy flowers?" The owner of the flower shop warmly greeted her.

Tang Xuan nodded, "Yes."

Shopkeeper: "Do you want to buy any flowers?"

Tang Xuan shook her head, "I don't know."

Shopkeeper: "Then who should I give it to? A boy or a girl?"

Tang Xuan: "Boy..."

The shopkeeper smiled: "Boyfriend?"

Tang Xuan looked down at the ring on her finger, "Hmm...fiance..."

The shopkeeper showed a professional and exaggerated smile, "My fiance, congratulations, what holiday is it today, are you giving it for the holiday, or do you just want to give it suddenly?"

Tang Xuan was already in a good mood, but she wasn't in a good mood when the shopkeeper said it in a false congratulatory tone. She flatly refused, "Forget it, I'll see for myself."

The shop owner didn't expect Tang Xuan's face to change in a second, but seeing that Tang Xuan's complexion was not good, he stepped aside knowingly and bent down to trim the new flowers.

Tang Xuan sniffed the fragrance of flowers in the air, and thought of the first time she saw Xiao Zihan. In the gymnasium, she was sitting in the auditorium, looking at him from a distance who was radiant and surrounded by everyone.

At that time, she never thought that she and Xiao Zihan would develop to where they are today, and she never thought that she would fall in love with Xiao Zihan, fell in love with Xiao Zihan.

Are human emotions really uncontrollable?
Tang Xuan stood upright for a while, then turned to ask the owner, "Do you... have any flowers that represent first love?"

The owner immediately put down the watering can and answered Tang Xuan: "Are you saying that the language of flowers is the flower of first love? Lilacs and lilies are both, and so are pink roses. These pink roses were just delivered, and they bloom very well. Take a look." ?”

Tang Xuan looked in the direction of the owner's finger, and she saw bouquets of pink roses quietly blooming, not as gorgeous as red roses, nor as proud as white roses.

It's in bud, it's shy like a girl, and it really smells like first love.

Tang Xuan smiled, "Then I want pink roses."

Shopkeeper: "Okay, how many flowers do you want?"

Tang Xuan froze, she frowned, "How many flowers should I buy? I seem to remember that different quantities have different meanings."

The shopkeeper hummed, "Would you like to buy nineteen roses? Nineteen pink roses represent eternal love, very romantic."

love forever?

Can her love for Xiao Zihan last forever?
Seeing Tang Xuan's hesitation, the shop owner hurriedly said, "21 flowers are also pretty good, 21 flowers represent sincere love, or 99 flowers, I hope it will last forever, both are good meanings."

Sincere love?

There was a wry smile on Tang Xuan's lips. Her love for Xiao Zihan can be used in other words, except sincerity, which is the most missing thing between her and him.

This implication is clearly mocking her.

99 flowers are not bad, but 99 flowers are too much to hold, and they are too eye-catching on the road.

Tang Xuan thought about it for a while, then said, "Then let's wrap nineteen flowers for me. The wrapping paper should be simple and elegant, not too fancy."

"Okay!" After making a deal, the owner happily went to pack it.

Tang Xuan repeatedly thought about the meaning of the nineteen pink roses, and smiled briefly and helplessly.

Since she can't be sincere to Xiao Zihan, let's be with Xiao Zihan forever.

Anyway, she has experienced so many messy things in her short life, and she has no strength to fall in love with other men anymore.

After leaving the flower shop, Tang Xuan didn't take the initiative to contact Xiao Zihan, but went directly to Xiao Zihan's new house.

Although Xiao Zihan gave her the key, she only followed Xiao Zihan downstairs, and never went up to see it.

Xiao Zihan was also mysterious, saying that he would show her after finishing it and not let her go up.

When she went to see Police Officer Liu just now, Tang Xuan didn't expect that the matter was not over yet, and she could go back and get along with Xiao Zihan. She actually regretted it at the time, regretting not being able to take a look at the home Xiao Zihan built for herself.

And God seems to have heard her heart, and bought more time for her.

That being the case, Tang Xuan had to take a good look.

Tang Xuan entered the community and took the elevator upstairs. Standing at the door, she could hear ding-ding-dong-dong knocking in the house. She took out the key, put the key back, and knocked on the door instead.

"It's efficient, it's delivered so soon?" The door was opened, and Xiao Zihan's voice came out.When he saw Tang Xuan standing outside the door, Xiao Zihan's expression collapsed, and he closed the door with a bang.

Tang Xuan stood still, dumbfounded by the terrified expression on Xiao Zihan's face.

The door opened again, Xiao Zihan coughed lightly, and asked Tang Xuan with erratic eyes, "You...why are you here?"

Tang Xuan smiled slightly, "Come over to have a look at the new house, didn't you say that it will be finished today?"

"Well, it's not close." Xiao Zihan turned sideways to let Tang Xuan enter the room. Seeing the rose in Tang Xuan's arms, his expression immediately changed, "Who gave you this flower."

"No one gave it to me, I bought it myself." Tang Xuan stuffed the flower into Xiao Zihan's arms, and said casually, "For you."

"Give it to me?" Xiao Zihan's eyes burst into surprise, he counted the number of roses with his head down, and the corner of his mouth turned up to the sky. "Pink roses... nineteen... Are you confessing your love to me?"

Seeing Xiao Zihan's appearance of knowing the language of flowers, Tang Xuan deliberately pretended to be stupid: "What are you talking about? I just bought it casually, so don't think too much about it."

Xiao Zihan let out a long sigh, "Really... I bought it casually..."
