half thorns, half joy

"Me? I have nothing to do. I just want to see what you are doing. It's morning over there." Cai Jinyu cast a teasing look at Xiao Zihan who looked nervous, "Xiao Zihan went to take a shower, I just want to use his mobile phone to make a call." I'll call you."

Xiao Zihan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, how is the baby recently?" Cai Jinyu said lightly, "When I go back this time, give the baby a big gift."

"Yes, it's really busy. Zihan and I came out to talk about the project together, mainly because he talked, and I was helping."

"I know that. You should take good care of yourself. It's getting colder and colder recently. Whether it's you or the baby, don't catch a cold and get sick."

Cai Jinyu was chatting happily, but when she turned her head and saw that Xiao Zihan's eyes were about to burn, she quickly said to Tang Xuan, "Ah, Zihan came out of the shower, you two should have a chat."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Tang Xuan's reaction, she handed the phone to Xiao Zihan.

Xiao Zihan held the phone like a hot potato, he was surprised for a few seconds before slowly putting it on his ear.

On the phone receiver, Tang Xuan didn't speak, but Xiao Zihan could hear the slight sound of breathing.

Xiao Zihan listened silently for a while, then gave a soft feed.

Cai Jinyu rolled her eyes at Xiao Zihan, danced and directed Xiao Zihan, and silently suggested.

"..." Xiao Zihan looked away, sat up straight, and asked Tang Xuan after a while, "How is your part-time job doing recently?"

With the computer on her lap, Tang Xuan, who was searching for a new part-time job, was stunned for a moment before replying, "It's pretty good, keep working."

Xiao Zihan: "Well, that's good."

Again speechless.

Xiao Zihan had a lot of things he wanted to ask, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.The closer the nostalgia, the more timid, this poem describes Xiao Zihan at the moment.

"International calls are quite expensive, why don't you just go and get busy." Tang Xuan waited for a while, but before Xiao Zihan's voice came, she spoke first.

Xiao Zihan's heart sank, "Well, take good care of yourself."

Tang Xuan nodded, "Understood, you too."

After hanging up the phone, Cai Jinyu finally couldn't bear it any longer, and roared angrily, "Hey! My friend! You're just wasting your chance like this!"

"..." Xiao Zihan fell heavily on the sofa and closed his eyes weakly.

Cai Jinyu slapped Xiao Zihan hard, "I said, why do you cherish your words so much, you will die if you say a few more words. If you really don't know what to say, do you want me to write it down and read it to Tang? Listen, Xuan."

"..." Xiao Zihan remained silent.

"Zihan, I'm not talking about you. You can't do this." Cai Jinyu felt that she was going bald because of Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan's time. "Tang Xuan is a girl. Girls are shy and embarrassing, so we have to take the initiative." , be thick-skinned, you know?"

"..." Xiao Zihan opened his eyes, looked straight at Cai Jinyu, his tone was half teasing and half serious, "It's a pity that I'm not as thick-skinned as you."

Cai Jinyu was taken aback for a moment, stood up and kicked Xiao Zihan, angrily said get out, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Xiao Zihan lay on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

In fact, he was quite envious of the atmosphere in which Cai Jinyu chatted with Tang Xuan just now, it was so harmonious, relaxed and happy, just like they used to be.

But envy is envy, he opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Although he and Tang Xuan reconciled and got along better little by little, the gap between them has never been bridged.

The crux of the problem is that Xiao Zihan doesn't know how to get over it.

……

A week later, Xiao Zihan and Cai Jinyu returned home after discussing the project, and Cai Lin picked them up at the airport.

"Oh, no one cares about you these days when I'm not here, have you been playing wild?" Cai Jinyu happily hugged Cai Lin's shoulders and said as she walked.

Cai Lin did not refute or even sarcasm Cai Jinyu like in the past, but lowered her head and replied sullenly: "Why, I have been staying at home and not going anywhere."

"Really?" Cai Jinyu obviously didn't believe it.

"Of course it's true." Cai Lin pouted, "If you don't believe me, go back and ask your mother and the nanny. I've been obediently staying at home."

During the conversation, the three walked out of the airport and got into the car. Cai Jinyu smiled while fastening his seat belt, "Really? Are you here with 300 taels of silver, or are you just some new moth?"

"I didn't..." Cai Lin replied lazily.

Cai Jinyu felt strange, turned her head and looked at Xiao Zihan who was sitting in the back row, Xiao Zihan also showed a surprised look in his eyes.

Cai Jinyu put away his playful thoughts and started the car. After the car drove for a certain distance, he asked Cai Lin again, "Linlin, you must have quarreled with that boyfriend of yours, right?"

"No..." Cai Lin's voice was still muffled.

"Don't pretend to be you, I can tell what's wrong when you look like this." Cai Jinyu patted Cai Lin's shoulder with one hand, "It's okay, young couples, arguing is healthier and more conducive to intimacy relation."

"..." Cai Lin lowered her head, twisted her seat belt with both hands, and said nothing.

She couldn't tell her brother who loved her so much that she slept with a man she didn't know after getting drunk.

Although this is not a big deal in this circle, it is a big deal to the elder brother who has always treated her like a little princess.

Although Cai Lin has been talking hard against Cai Jinyu, she really cares about Cai Jinyu's opinion in her heart.Cai Jinyu has always treated her like a baby, how dare she tell her brother that this baby is like those women outside, who have sex after drinking.

Maybe it's about Lin Qiaoer, and she just patted her butt and left without even thinking about it for a second.

But on Cai Lin, it was a bit serious.After that incident happened, she didn't feel embarrassed to go out again for a week, and stayed at home every day.

Cai Lin was filled with guilt every day during the video chat with her foreign boyfriend, but she didn't have the courage to tell her boyfriend about the mistakes she made.

All kinds of chaotic emotions weighed on Cai Lin, which naturally suppressed Cai Lin, who was originally lively, cheerful, and stern.

If Cai Jinyu hadn't asked Cai Lin to pick him up on the phone, Cai Lin would still be unhappy at home right now.

"Well, there's nothing wrong here anyway." Cai Jinyu racked her brains for a while before she spoke again, "If you miss your boyfriend, I'll buy you a plane ticket later, and you can fly over to find him .”

"...No." Cai Lin choked out a sentence.

Cai Jinyu had nothing to say now, so she had to look at Xiao Zihan in the rearview mirror and ask for help with her eyes.

Xiao Zihan understood what Cai Jinyu meant, and shook his head lightly. The meaning was very clear, so don't press Cai Lin for now.

"Hey." Cai Jinyu sighed and could only shut up.

The car drove to Xiao's Group, Xiao Zihan got out of the car, and said goodbye to Cai Jinyu and Cai Lin.

Cai Lin looked at Xiao Zihan aggrievedly, opened her mouth several times, but finally said nothing.

Xiao Zihan stretched his arm through the car window, stroked Cai Lin's hair, and said softly, "Be happy, don't be so sad."

"Brother Zihan..." Xiao Zihan's gentle voice instantly softened Cai Lin's heart, and her eyes turned red.

Xiao Zihan bent down slightly, looked at Cai Lin and Cai Jinyu, "Why don't you come to my office first, and let's go have dinner together after I'm done with the important things at hand."

"Okay!" Seeing that Cai Lin wanted to confide in Xiao Zihan, Cai Jinyu quickly made a decision and pulled Cai Lin out of the car.

The three of them went upstairs together, and Cai Lin followed Xiao Zihan absent-mindedly, holding Xiao Zihan's lapel like a child, attracting the attention of all the employees of the company.

Taking the elevator upstairs, before reaching the door of the president's office, Lin Qiaoer appeared.

When Cai Lin saw Lin Qiaoer, she subconsciously hid behind Xiao Zihan in embarrassment.

"Mr. Xiao, you are back." Lin Qiaoer smiled decently at Xiao Zihan and nodded, waving the folder in her hand, "I have a little question here, and I want to ask you for advice."

Cai Jinyu hadn't seen Lin Qiaoer in the Xiao Group's company very much, and she was not used to seeing such a polite and respectful Lin Qiaoer for a while.

Cai Jinyu, on the other hand, opened the office door without any surprise, and said calmly, "Come in and sit down."

The assistant had already received the news of Xiao Zihan's return, and quickly made coffee for several people, and reported on all the things that happened in the company in the past week.

"Okay, I got it." Xiao Zihan took out a stack of printed documents and handed them to the assistant, "This is a new project, please print out a few more copies and send them to the person in charge of the department below, and tell them to familiarize themselves with it as soon as possible, and have a meeting tomorrow morning I have questions to ask."

"Yes." The assistant put the file away and hugged it to his chest, but instead of leaving immediately, he glanced at a few people sitting on the reception sofa not far away.

Seeing this, Xiao Zihan asked his assistant, "What else can I do?"

The assistant nodded.

Xiao Zihan: "Speak."

After getting the approval, the assistant no longer hesitated. Although he lowered his voice, he still said clearly and forcefully: "Mrs. Xiao called a few times and said that she has something to talk to you about."

"My mother called here?" Xiao Zihan was surprised.

"Yes."

Xiao Zihan was slightly dazed, and waved his hands after a while, "Understood, go down and get busy."

"Yes."

After the assistant left, Cai Jinyu stepped forward, leaned over Xiao Zihan's desk, and asked in a deep voice, "Did Auntie call your cell phone when we were going out?"

Xiao Zihan lowered his eyes, "I called, but I didn't answer."

"Why didn't you answer?" Cai Jinyu was puzzled.

"I don't want to take it." Xiao Zihan replied, "Because of my dad's matter, she and I have more and more differences. I can't agree to some requests, and I don't know how to deal with her."

Cai Jinyu was helpless, "Then you call her back now? She is looking for you so urgently, there must be something important."

Xiao Zihan took out his mobile phone, and put it back again, "The nanny will call me if there is something important, I'll call when I go back at night."

As soon as he talked to his mother on the phone now, Xiao Zihan was in an extremely bad mood, so he couldn't make a call if he couldn't make a call, it was purely evasion.

"That's fine, you decide." Cai Jinyu understood Xiao Zihan's difficulties, so he didn't force Xiao Zihan.

Xiao Zihan got up and walked to Cai Lin and Lin Qiaoer.

Hearing the conversation between Lin Qiaoer and Cai Lin, Xiao Zihan and Cai Jinyu frowned together.

Lin Qiaoer seemed to be comforting Cai Lin, but those words contained a lot of speculative information.

"Don't take it to heart, you didn't mean that this kind of thing happened, don't think too much, okay?"

"Okay, I promise I won't tell anyone, okay?"

Lin Qiaoer's voice was very soft, as if she was talking to Cai Lin alone, but Cai Jinyu and Xiao Zihan heard them all.
