half thorns, half joy

"Tang Xuan..." After several minutes of silence, Xiao Zihan finally spoke.

Tang Xuan didn't respond, but looked at Xiao Zihan suspiciously.

Xiao Zihan lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, he was silent for a while, then got up suddenly, "Go to rest early, I still have work to do, so I'm going out first."

Tang Xuan: "...OK."

Xiao Zihan really walked out and gently closed the door for Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan looked at the closed door, threw the computer on her lap aside, buried her head in her knees, and fell into entanglement and contemplation.

She could feel that Xiao Zihan wanted to say something just now, but maybe like her, Xiao Zihan didn't know what to say.

Hey……

Tang Xuan let out a long sigh.

Xiao Zihan strode back to the study, sat down in the president's chair, covered his eyes with the back of his hands.He was so upset that he was breathing a little faster than usual.

Just now, he actually wanted to tell Tang Xuan whether they should try to start from scratch.

But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

After so many things, good, bad, forgivable, and unforgivable, can they really start from scratch?
Xiao Zihan didn't know, so he couldn't say it.

His father was still in prison. Once Xiao Zihan thought of this, he couldn't get close to Tang Xuan.Although his father betrayed his mother, and has been deceiving himself, he has long lost his glorious and great image, but his father is his father after all, and he is the most important relative in his life.

If he and Tang Xuan started from scratch, wouldn't it be a kind of betrayal to his father?If father knew that he still liked Tang Xuan and couldn't give up on Tang Xuan, would father be disappointed with him?
These thoughts hindered Xiao Zihan's feelings for Tang Xuan. He could forgive Tang Xuan for having someone else's child, and he didn't need to care about Tang Xuan and Zheng Yifan's affairs.

But because of his father, he couldn't be with Tang Xuan peacefully.

He can't get past his own level.

"Hey..." Xiao Zihan smiled wryly, and sighed heavily like Tang Xuan in the bedroom.

……

Cai Jinyu drove Cai Lin home first, and then sent Lin Qiaoer back.

Because Lin Qiaoer had the idea of ​​using Cai Lin, she was also friendly to Cai Jinyu. No matter what Cai Jinyu's attitude towards her was, she was kind.

"Okay, thank you." The car stopped downstairs, and Lin Qiaoer untied the safe with a smile, and bid farewell to Cai Jinyu.

"Wait." Cai Jinyu stopped Lin Qiaoer.

Lin Qiaoer withdrew her hand that was about to open the car door, and looked at Cai Jinyu in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Cai Jinyu paused, and tried to ask Lin Qiaoer in a less aggressive tone, "Did you say anything to Linlin?"

"Huh?" Lin Qiaoer was surprised.

"About Tang Xuan." Cai Jinyu looked closely at Lin Qiaoer, "Linlin didn't know anything about these things before she returned to China, but now she suddenly knows, did you tell her?"

Lin Qiaoer hesitated for a while, seeing that she couldn't hide it, she had to pretend to admit it, "Yes, I told her, but what I said was the truth, and I didn't wrong Tang Xuan."

Cai Jinyu's expression turned serious, "There's no need for you to talk too much, Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan's matter, they will handle it themselves, you are just an outsider."

Being ridiculed like this, the smile on Lin Qiaoer's face couldn't hold back, "I know I'm an outsider, so you don't need to remind me, Linlin asked me what happened today, so I will tell the truth, I don't understand why you say that about me .”

Cai Jinyu was silent. Hearing what Lin Qiaoer said, he really didn't seem to have any reason to blame Lin Qiaoer.

"Besides, Linlin is an adult. Even if I don't tell you about Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan, she will ask others, and she will find out sooner or later." Lin Qiaoer saw that she had bluffed Cai Jinyu, and continued: "Originally, Xiao Zihan and Xiao Zihan Tang Xuan's relationship is very embarrassing, so if I don't tell them, won't they be embarrassing?"

Cai Jinyu remained silent.

Lin Qiaoer felt that she had the upper hand and gave Cai Jinyu a blank look, "I know you are interested in Tang Xuan, but in fact you are an outsider just like me."

"..."

Cai Jinyu was too lazy to explain that his feelings for Tang Xuan were just friends. He glanced at Lin Qiaoer angrily, just in time to see Lin Qiaoer's ankle tied with gauze.

"That of yours..." Cai Jinyu looked straight at Lin Qiaoer's ankle, "It must have been intentionally cut."

Lin Qiaoer didn't expect that Cai Jinyu would point out her feelings directly, and she was a little panicked, "What did you say?"

This reaction fell into Cai Jinyu's eyes, and Cai Jinyu immediately confirmed her guess.

"I was walking next to you at the time, and you bumped into it on such a wide road and scratched your foot."

Lin Qiaoer bit the bullet and retorted, "I was looking at other places at the time, and I didn't look at the road under my feet..."

Cai Jinyu laughed, "Okay, that's fine. After you scratched your foot, you didn't agree to go to the hospital. You said you wanted to go to a nearby house. Actually, you already planned it long ago. You know that the villa is not far from there, so you want to go to Tang Xuan." .”

Lin Qiaoer's complexion completely sank, "Don't spout blood, I didn't think about it that much at the time."

"Really?" Cai Jinyu smiled, and continued, "When we were at school, you planned to go to the villa to find Tang Xuan. After all, you were the one who suggested going up the mountain."

Lin Qiaoer looked at Cai Jinyu without saying a word.

Cai Jinyu also restrained her smile, her face was full of seriousness and vigilance, "At first, I thought you were just a little girl with a small mind and a bad personality, but looking at it like this today, you are quite serious. Well."

Lin Qiaoer, who was exposed, had panic in her eyes, but she remained calm.

She swallowed, but still refused to admit it, "I don't understand what you're talking about, but since you have a problem with me because of Tang Xuan, you should think of me a little bit more, I can't help it. "

"Really? You're pretty good at shifting the focus." Cai Jinyu usually looks like a fool, but he's actually very smart.

He just likes a simple life and doesn't like to use his brain. It doesn't mean he can't understand many things.

Now that her face has been torn apart, Lin Qiaoer no longer continues to curry favor with Cai Jinyu. She smiled sarcastically and asked Cai Jinyu, "Didn't you realize that you really like Tang Xuan?"

Cai Jinyu shrugged, "Sorry, I really didn't find out."

"Really?" Lin Qiaoer asked back, "If you don't like Tang Xuan, why would you care about her? Why do you care about her so much? If you were just ordinary friends, you wouldn't care so much."

Cai Jinyu's eyes widened, "Listen to what you said, don't you have no friends, and you don't care about your friends?"

"I don't care about that." Lin Qiaoer said firmly to Cai Jinyu, "You have a desire to protect Tang Xuan, and the desire to protect is a sign of liking."

Cai Jinyu nodded and shook her head again, "The analysis is quite thorough, you continue."

"Heh." The corners of Lin Qiaoer's mouth curled up in a disdainful arc, "The more you show indifference, the more ulterior motives you have in your heart. But I'm really puzzled, what's so good about that Tang Xuan that makes you and Xiao Zihan both Treat her so well and protect her like this."

Cai Jinyu finally got serious. He said to Lin Qiaoer solemnly, "We treat Tang Xuan well because she is good. She deserves the kindness."

It doesn't matter if Tang Xuan betrayed Xiao Zihan or not, and it doesn't matter what happened between Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan.All the things Tang Xuan did for Xiao Zihan were sincere.

There was also Tang Xuan's tolerance and comfort after Cai Jinyu broke up with her.

People are emotional animals. No matter how cynical they seem on the surface, they will remember those who really cared about themselves and treated them well.

This is reflected in the minutiae, and it needs to be felt with heart. Lin Qiaoer, who likes fast food relationships, will not understand.

"Really? She's just that good?" Lin Qiaoer sneered, "I really wonder if Tang Xuan tricked you into defending her like this."

Cai Jinyu was too lazy to discuss these things with Lin Qiaoer anymore. He said in a casual tone, "What kind of relationship we have with Tang Xuan, it's our business, you don't care about it. Let me warn you, don't touch those things again." You can't win against Tang Xuan."

"Oh?"

"Zihan won't like you." Cai Jinyu said intentionally, "The reason why he took you back before and acted close to you was because he deliberately showed Tang Xuan."

Lin Qiaoer gritted her teeth, "What did you say?"

Cai Jinyu became angry with Lin Qiaoer when she saw the success, and she became happy, "Didn't you find out? Now that Zihan and Tang Xuan have reconciled, naturally I don't need you. But I have to thank you, if you didn't call Tang Xuan to the reception Humiliation, they will not reconcile so quickly."

"..." Lin Qiaoer was so angry that she almost bit her lips. In fact, she had thought about what Cai Jinyu said a long time ago, but out of her love for Xiao Zihan and her self-esteem as a woman, she forced herself not to believe it.

Now, being said by Cai Jinyu in such a contemptuous and contemptuous way, Lin Qiaoer seemed to feel that her true heart was trampled on the ground.

Cai Jinyu didn't want to look at Lin Qiaoer's distorted face. He turned his head to look at the streetlight ahead, and said coldly, "Get out of the car, I'm going back to sleep."

Lin Qiaoer stared at Cai Jinyu bitterly for a while, then smiled abruptly, and she said every word, "Cai Jinyu, you are really cruel."

"Cruel?" Cai Jinyu said lightly, "I don't think I can compare to you. You can hurt yourself to achieve your goal."

"Oh, say whatever you want." Lin Qiaoer opened the car door, "But let me tell you something, I, Lin Qiaoer, am not someone who can play whenever I want, or throw away whenever I want."

With a bang, the car door was slammed shut.

Cai Jinyu suddenly felt a chill on his back, he shook his body to dispel the chill, stepped on the accelerator, and the car slid out.

Lin Qiaoer stood on the side of the road, staring at Cai Jinyu's car as she turned the corner, out of her sight.

Her hands hanging by her sides were tightly clenched into fists, and the crystal nails almost sank into her palms, and her shoulders were shaking from the pain.

As Lin Qiaoer, who was spoiled and raised since she was a child, she wanted the wind to get the wind, and the rain to get the rain. Even her pursuit of Xiao Zihan was based on her own happiness, so she rushed forward enthusiastically.

It was just a game that I thought was fun, but unknowingly, it was played out of gunpowder.

If she withdraws at this time, all the grievances she has suffered will be in vain.

Lin Qiaoer pinched her nails into her palms, bit her lips and smiled in the dark night.

"It's not the end yet, let's wait and see."
