half thorns, half joy

"What's wrong?" In the clinic, Tang Xuan couldn't help asking when she saw Xiao Zihan staring at the phone screen in a daze.

Xiao Zihan came to his senses, put his phone back in his pocket, and said to Tang Xuan, "It's okay, Jinyu just sent a short message, he said he still has something to do, so he went back first."

"That's it." Tang Xuan could tell at a glance that Xiao Zihan was lying, but she could also guess what the truth was, so she didn't expose the lie.

The doctor applied medicinal wine to reduce swelling on Tang Xuan, and prescribed two more boxes of medicine. Only then did Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan come out of the clinic together.

Tang Xuan could smell the unpleasant smell of medicinal liquor on her cheeks, and she said in embarrassment, "I'm really sorry today, I told you to watch a joke."

"Don't say that." Xiao Zihan was serious, "I'm glad I'm here today, otherwise you don't know how you would be bullied by that person."

When mentioning the troublemaker, Tang Xuan suddenly remembered the loss of money, and quickly said, "Thank you very much today, I will return the money to you later."

"It's okay, you don't need to pay it back." Xiao Zihan said indifferently, and suggested: "Stop standing here and talk, let's go to eat first. You are so unlucky today, I invite you to eat to clear away the bad luck."

"Haha, that's fine."

The two walked into a private restaurant, Xiao Zihan asked the waiter for a private room with ease, as if he was an acquaintance.Tang Xuan knew about this restaurant. Among the stores around the school that mainly cater to students, this restaurant caters to high-end people with high consumption. Tang Xuan and her roommates just passed by and never went in.

"Just order whatever you want." Xiao Zihan pushed the menu in front of Tang Xuan, and said while drinking tea.

Tang Xuan opened the menu and glanced at it, she couldn't help but feel dumbfounded in her heart, it's really expensive.

But she didn't show it on the surface, she ordered the dishes with a graceful attitude, and she smiled shyly after ordering: "You helped me out today, I should invite you to dinner, why did you invite me to dinner. "

"You're being bullied and still treating you?" Xiao Zihan raised his eyebrows, "Then I...a friend...haven't been too bad."

"You're so kind." Tang Xuan's eyes flashed, she took a deep look at Xiao Zihan, and said seriously, "I'm very glad to have such a good friend like you."

Xiao Zihan's ears turned red suddenly, he touched his ears uncomfortably, his eyes dodged and he said it was nothing.

Tang Xuan was not stupid, she could understand what Xiao Zihan's uneasy little gestures meant, she ended it just right, stopped talking, and quietly drank tea.

Soon, the waiter came in with the prepared meals.The two chatted again about the dishes, and had a very happy meal.

"I didn't expect it to be so dark." Tang Xuan came out of the restaurant after eating, took a look at the pitch black sky, and said casually.

Xiao Zihan glanced down at the time on his watch, with a hesitant expression on his face.

Tang Xuan glanced at Xiao Zihan's expression from the corner of her eye, and guessed Xiao Zihan's psychological activities. After a second thought, she thanked Xiao Zihan sincerely again, "Thank you, whether it's helping me out today, or recommending good books and movies to me before, Thank you so much for sharing the video of your fireworks with me."

"You don't need to thank me for such a small matter..." Xiao Zihan concluded. He suddenly felt that he was a little too much. Tang Xuan treated him as a friend, but he had other thoughts about Tang Xuan.

"Then let's part here. I'm going back to school, so you should go home early too." Tang Xuan deliberately said goodbye, waved her hands and raised her legs before leaving.

Xiao Zihan gritted his teeth and stopped Tang Xuan, "Wait!"

"Ah?" Tang Xuan was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"I...you..." Xiao Zihan suddenly stuttered, staring blankly at Tang Xuan, unable to utter a complete sentence for a while.

Tang Xuan laughed, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Zihan took a deep breath and asked, "Do you want to go to set off fireworks? The beach where Jinyu and I went last time is very close, and it will take a short drive."

"Go to the beach? At this time?"

"Don't worry, the law and order in that area is very good, and there will be no danger." Xiao Zihan hurriedly explained.In fact, what he originally wanted to say was not this sentence, but he couldn't say that sentence of confession no matter what, so he could only make up such a sentence in a hurry.

Tang Xuan hesitated, "But..."

"Don't you want to go?" Xiao Zihan asked a little frustrated.

Seeing the disappointment in Xiao Zihan's eyes, Tang Xuan relaxed, smiled and nodded, "Then go and play, treat it as a relaxation."

"Okay, just stand here and wait, I'll pick up the car."

Watching Xiao Zihan trot away, the smile on Tang Xuan's face froze little by little. She could tell that Xiao Zihan really liked her.

But she also really wanted to use Xiao Zihan.

As for liking it or not, she didn't even think about it.

Tang Xuan stood there for a few minutes before Xiao Zihan drove over. He voluntarily got out of the car and opened the door for Tang Xuan, with a gentlemanly and elegant posture.

After getting on the bus, Tang Xuan took the initiative to ask, "You seem to be familiar with the route, do you often go there?"

"Jinyu and I often go there." Xiao Zihan replied with a smile while driving, "He can't be idle, and often asks a group of people to go there to play, and I went together when I had nothing to do. We are still there Been camping a few times."

"Camping?" Thinking of Cai Jinyu's girlfriends, Tang Xuan couldn't help asking curiously, "Did you bring your own tents for camping?"

Xiao Zihan nodded slightly, "Yeah, we all go by car, it won't be inconvenient, at first we both brought a tent to sleep, but later on he brings his girlfriend every time, so I and he each bring our own tents .”

"That's it." Tang Xuan didn't hear anything concealed from Xiao Zihan's tone, she just showed a little helplessness when mentioning Cai Jinyu's female companion.

"For three years in college, I'm used to this guy feeding me dog food every day." Xiao Zihan said again.

Tang Xuan could hear the self-mockery in Xiao Zihan's words, she laughed and teased Xiao Zihan, "Then next time you bring a girlfriend over there too, and feed him some dog food."

Hearing Tang Xuan's words, Xiao Zihan smiled unconsciously. He glanced at Tang Xuan quickly, and said inexplicably, "That makes sense. I'll do it next time."

The car drove for less than 10 minutes, and the two arrived at the beach.

Sure enough, as Xiao Zihan said, this area is not uninhabited. At this point in time, there are still many people on the beach.

"Let's go." Xiao Zihan parked the car and told Tang Xuan to walk down the path with him to the beach.

Tang Xuan originally came with Xiao Zihan with other intentions, but now feeling the gentle sea breeze blowing on her body and hearing the distant sound of waves lapping on the shore, her mood suddenly opened up.

She couldn't help taking a deep breath, and gently closed her eyes.

Xiao Zihan who was standing next to Tang Xuan saw this scene, pursed his lips, quietly took out his phone, typed a line and sent it.
