half thorns, half joy

There were two high stools connected together on the karaoke table. Lin Qiaoer saw Xiao Zihan passing by, and immediately pulled Xiao Zihan to another seat and sat down, leaning on Xiao Zihan's shoulder affectionately.

Xiao Zihan struggled a few times, but he didn't struggle to move away, and seeing Tang Xuan looking towards him, he simply stopped moving.

"What song do you want?" Lin Qiaoer stopped after singing, and asked Xiao Zihan with her head raised.

Xiao Zihan poked his fingers back and forth on the karaoke stand, without any thoughts in his mind.

"How about, let's sing a love song duet." Lin Qiaoer also stretched out her finger, clicked a few times, found the love song duet page, and asked Xiao Zihan to choose a song.

"I can sing most of the songs here, just pick the one you like, well, for me, English songs are the best, but it's up to you."

Xiao Zihan had no interest in love song duets at all. He watched Lin Qiaoer turn the page indifferently. After seeing a familiar song title, he suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

"Huh? Which one should I order?" Lin Qiaoer was puzzled.

Seeing the title of the song that had appeared in his memory, Xiao Zihan stretched out his finger and clicked it.

Lin Qiaoer frowned her exquisite eyebrows, obviously a little dissatisfied, "Well, this song was written a long time ago, and no one sings it now."

Xiao Zihan remained silent, staring up at the screen.

"Hey, that's fine, I'll sing with you if you like." Lin Qiaoer took another microphone and stuffed it into Xiao Zihan's hand, swaying her body following the prelude.

"I'm still looking for/a cling and a hug/who prays for me/worries for me/is angry and makes trouble for me/"

Tang Xuan didn't look at Xiao Zihan at first, but tilted her head to chat with Cai Jinyu. When she heard Lin Qiaoer sing the lyrics, she was stunned.

She couldn't help looking at Xiao Zihan, who was half behind her with a microphone in his hand.

After Lin Qiaoer sang the female part, she held Xiao Zihan's hand with a happy smile, and put the microphone to Xiao Zihan's mouth.

Xiao Zihan didn't know what he was thinking, or he didn't think about anything, when he saw the lyrics, he sang it.

Tang Xuan tightly squeezed the hands hanging by her side. She never expected that Xiao Zihan and Lin Qiaoer would sing this song together.

At the beginning, she deliberately used this song to slap those present who looked down on her in the face, but now, the chorus of Xiao Zihan and Lin Qiaoer undoubtedly slapped her in the face.

Cai Jinyu didn't remember the story of this song at all. Seeing Tang Xuan's expression changed, he thought Tang Xuan was jealous, and complained, "What's wrong with Zihan? Why are you singing such an old-fashioned love song with that woman? I'm going to be nauseated."

Tang Xuan's heart was so sad that it was almost numb. She sneered and said softly, "No matter how old-fashioned the song is, if it is sung by a sweet couple, you will feel it."

"No." Cai Jinyu interceded for Xiao Zihan, "That idiot Zihan is being stupid again, so please bear with me."

Tang Xuan smiled lightly, "He's not stupid, he's smart."

Smart enough to know to slap her in the face with memories, smart enough to deliberately sing this song they sang together for the first time with another woman in front of her.

This way of hurting three thousand people without a trace is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Seeing Tang Xuan's expression, Cai Jinyu was obviously really angry. He wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know how to persuade him. He could only beat his chest and stamp his feet, angry at Xiao Zihan's stupidity.

"Ah, I'm so mad, I'll order a song." Cai Jinyu got up anxiously and asked Tang Xuan, "Do you want to sing? I'll order it for you."

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

"Don't you sing a song?"

"Ah."

In other people's places, what kind of songs to sing, isn't it to spoil people's interest.

Cai Jinyu slammed down a glass of red wine, stepped forward and deliberately squeezed between Xiao Zihan and Lin Qiaoer with her own body, separating them abruptly.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Zihan asked Cai Jinyu puzzled.

Cai Jinyu didn't respond angrily, "I still want to know what you are doing, you are good at singing love songs."

Xiao Zihan raised his eyebrows, "Why, are you speaking for Tang Xuan?"

"I'll give you a mallet!" Cai Jinyu directly pushed Xiao Zihan off the high stool, "Get out of the way, I want to sing, you go away."

Xiao Zihan didn't want to sing at first, but came here because he saw Cai Jinyu and Tang Xuan getting together. Now that Cai Jinyu came over, there was no need for him to stay.

Xiao Zihan went back to the sofa and sat down. Tang Xuan's seat was far away from the karaoke stand. Xiao Zihan's brain twitched and he walked directly towards Tang Xuan.

Just when he was about to reach Tang Xuan's side, he realized suddenly and stopped in his tracks.

After reacting, he suddenly felt how embarrassing he was in now.If he sat next to Tang Xuan, he would definitely feel embarrassed, but if he didn't sit next to Tang Xuan, he could only turn back.

It took Xiao Zihan [-] seconds to make a quick decision.

He strode forward, passed by Tang Xuan, opened the door of the box, and walked out.

Cai Jinyu, who watched Xiao Zihan do this series of snake skin operations from a distance, almost fell off the high stool in surprise.What is this guy suffering from?

Of course, Tang Xuan would not pretend to be sentimental and think that Xiao Zihan wanted to sit here with her. She saw Xiao Zihan walk out without looking sideways, without even glancing at her, and her heart became more and more desolate.He simply took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the nanny.

Right now, only the baby can make her a little happier.

Only the baby is her future sustenance.

Xiao Zihan went out, closed the door, and let out a long breath.It's not like him to be so stupid.

You are so worthless!

Xiao Zihan clenched his hands into fists and punched the wall hard.

The passing waiter didn't know that Xiao Zihan was the boss, and he kept casting strange glances at Xiao Zihan like an idiot.

Xiao Zihan felt uncomfortable being seen, so he could only put away his fists, put his hands in his pockets, walked forward a few steps aimlessly, walked to the stairwell, and hid in it.

He took out the cigarette case irritably, took out a cigarette from it, lit it against the wall, and took a deep breath.

It's no wonder that Cai Jinyu didn't understand what Xiao Zihan was thinking, because even Xiao Zihan himself couldn't understand himself.

He knew that he should hate Tang Xuan. Tang Xuan lied to him and his family like that. Even if he humiliated Tang Xuan and took revenge on Tang Xuan, he would not do anything wrong to Tang Xuan.

But...he couldn't get that hand down, he couldn't use that ruthless force.

In the past, Xiao Zihan heard people say that if you love someone, you just can't bear, beat or scold him. Now he finally understands this feeling.

Even he himself did not expect that his love and liking for Tang Xuan would be so deep.It was so deep that Xiao Zihan once thought that as long as Tang Xuan gave in, he could forget those hatreds. As long as Tang Xuan apologized and admitted her mistakes, he would forgive Tang Xuan.

However, Tang Xuan did not.

Not only did he not, but he was so cold and ruthless to him.It's as if, the sweet love in the past, the sincere relationship in the past, were all pretended, it was all his dream.

How can he be willing!

Xiao Zihan knew that Cai Jinyu and Tang Xuan were fine, but when he saw Tang Xuan who was so indifferent to him, smiling at Cai Jinyu, he couldn't help feeling angry.

I can't help but want to get angry, and I can't control what I do.

"Huh..." Xiao Zihan snuffed out the cigarette butt, held it in his hand, closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

He was so distracted that someone walked into the stairwell before he came back to himself.

"Zi Hanhan, what are you doing here? I can't even find you." Lin Qiaoer pouted her bright red lips, twisted her body and walked to Xiao Zihan's side.

The anticipation in Xiao Zihan's eyes immediately dimmed the moment he saw Lin Qiaoer clearly.

Lin Qiaoer took Xiao Zihan's arm, sniffed, raised her head and asked in a low voice, "Smoking, why, are you in a bad mood?"

Xiao Zihan lowered his eyes, looked at Lin Qiaoer's small face and exquisite makeup, looked at it for a long time, and then asked, "Why are you pestering me?"

"Ah?" Lin Qiaoer obviously didn't expect Xiao Zihan to ask this. After a moment of astonishment, she pursed her lips and smiled, "Why, of course it's because I like you."

"Really, then what do you like about me?"

Lin Qiaoer's eyes overflowed with a smile, and she got closer to Xiao Zihan, "You want to know?"

Xiao Zihan nodded, "Yes."

He wanted to know what Lin Qiaoer liked about him as a woman.Why, as a woman, Tang Xuan doesn't like him.

At this moment, Xiao Zihan had doubts about his self-knowledge.

"This question has a very long answer." Lin Qiaoer leaned against Xiao Zihan and said ambiguously, "Are you ready to listen?"

With a cold face, Xiao Zi was puzzled and said: "No, please speak briefly."

Lin Qiaoer burst out laughing, "Look, you are so cute. Even your sense of humor is different from other men."

Xiao Zihan had an expression of are you okay, sense of humor?This is called a sense of humor?

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Seeing that Xiao Zihan was about to get angry again, Lin Qiaoer quickly brought the topic back, showing off her charm to the greatest extent with a sweet smile, "I like it, you take things seriously, and your appearance You look cold, but you are actually delicate and soft inside, and most importantly, you are very dedicated."

Listening to Lin Qiaoer's words, Xiao Zihan fell into deep thought.

What Lin Qiaoer said sounded like advantages, so why couldn't these advantages attract Tang Xuan?Why couldn't Tang Xuan see it?

"Hey, I also have a question to ask you." Lin Qiaoer shook Xiao Zihan's arm, pouted and asked Xiao Zihan.

Xiao Zihan answered Lin Qiaoer's words in a rare way, "What's the problem?"

Lin Qiaoer looked into Xiao Zihan's eyes seriously, and asked word by word: "I want to know why you just refuse to accept me. Is there something wrong with me?"

"..." After a while, Xiao Zihan replied, "There is nothing wrong with you, it's just that I don't have the heart to like others right now."

"Ah... what do you mean by not thinking..."

Xiao Zihan looked away and said nothing.

After all, Lin Qiaoer was the one who had been chasing Xiao Zihan for more than half a year. Seeing Xiao Zihan like this, she was not discouraged. Instead, she plucked up her courage and said, "You said you don't have any thoughts now, but after that, you will have thoughts, right?"

Xiao Zihan: "..."

Lin Qiaoer narrowed her eyes happily, "It's okay, I can wait! Let me tell you, if you like this kind of thing, don't talk too hard, maybe you will fall in love with me when you wake up tomorrow?"

Xiao Zihan smiled wryly, "Really, if that's possible, it would be fine."

If he could forget about Tang Xuan and fall in love with Lin Qiaoer, he wouldn't suffer so much, and wouldn't have to struggle so much.

However, he knew very well that he couldn't do it.

Even though Tang Xuan now regards him as a scourge and doesn't see him at all, he still doesn't want to let go, and still can't let Tang Xuan go.

"Of course." Lin Qiaoer was close to Xiao Zihan, looking at Xiao Zihan's handsome face and well-shaped lips, she swallowed, and moved closer to Xiao Zihan, "Some things, if you don't try it, how do you know whether you like it or not?" I like it."

However, just when her lips were about to touch Xiao Zihan's, Xiao Zihan pulled her away.

"We've been out for a while, it's time to go back." Xiao Zihan returned to his cold look, deliberately keeping a distance from Lin Qiaoer.

Seeing the ducks she got fly away, Lin Qiaoer was extremely unwilling, but she was afraid of angering Xiao Zihan again, so she could only pretend not to care, and followed Xiao Zihan back to the box.

In the box, Cai Jinyu screamed while holding the microphone, while Tang Xuan sat quietly, looking at the screen.

Seeing Xiao Zihan, Cai Jinyu pressed the pause button, and complained displeasedly, "Zihan, what are you doing, you haven't come back for so long."

Lin Qiaoer took Xiao Zihan's arm affectionately, blinked at Cai Jinyu, and said deliberately: "Guess, guess, what are we doing?"

Cai Jinyu frowned at such an intimate gesture, and quickly looked at Tang Xuan.

Sure enough, Tang Xuan's complexion also changed.
