half thorns, half joy

"Bye-Bye."

"Why, why don't you even say that you come to play often when you have time?" Cai Jinyu resisted the door that Xiao Zihan was about to close, and said shamelessly.

Xiao Zihan remained expressionless, "Because I don't want you to come and play often."

"Hmph!" Cai Jinyu gave Xiao Zihan a sharp gouging look, "You are a guy who values ​​sex and despises friends. Once you have a girlfriend, you will forget your brother!"

"Well, you're right." Xiao Zihan pushed Cai Jinyu away, and slammed the door behind him.

Outside the door, Cai Jinyu was furious and wanted to knock again.

Jiang Wan'er grabbed Cai Jinyu and persuaded her, "My dear, forget it, you just saw Tang Xuan like that, there is no way she would let Young Master Xiao go out with us."

"Cut." Hearing what Jiang Wan'er said, Cai Jinyu was furious.

He didn't like Xiao Zihan like this, very much.For people like them, it's fine to play casually, and it's too serious to be tempted.

Being serious means getting hurt, and he really doesn't want to watch his brother get hurt.

"This Tang Xuan is really powerful. I don't know what method she used to keep Young Master Xiao in check." Jiang Wan'er saw that Cai Jinyu's expression was not good, and added on purpose.

Cai Jinyu took a step back and looked at the door coldly, as if looking at the people inside through the door.

"Let's go." Cai Jinyu said after a long time.

The corners of Jiang Wan'er's mouth curled up into a triumphant arc. Tang Xuan did have scheming skills, but she was not a vegetarian either!
If she dared to offend her best friend, dare to ride on her head, she must give Tang Xuan some color!
After seeing off Cai Jinyu and Jiang Wan'er, Tang Xuan took the newly purchased things to the bedroom, took off the tags, and tidied up the closet.

Xiao Zihan walked into the bedroom with his hands in his trouser pockets, leaned against the door, and said sullenly, "You don't use the money I gave you."

"what?"

"You haven't used the money I gave you, nor the card." Xiao Zihan's tone sounded very disappointed.

Tang Xuan's hand for picking up the tag stopped. She looked at Xiao Zihan, her tone pretending to be brisk, "I still have some in my hand for the time being, and I will use it when I don't have any."

"Really?" Xiao Zihan obviously didn't believe it.

"..." Tang Xuan pursed her lips. Jiang Wan'er first asked this question, and now Xiao Zihan asked it herself. She couldn't avoid it anymore.

"Why don't you use my money?" Xiao Zihan asked again before Tang Xuan could answer.

Tang Xuan gritted her teeth and replied, "Because I don't want others to think that I'm with you for your money."

Xiao Zihan frowned, "No one would think that way."

"Everyone thinks that way." Tang Xuan threw her clothes on the bed, stood up and confronted Xiao Zihan, "You heard what Jiang Wan'er said just now in the living room. There are definitely not a few people who think the same as Jiang Wan'er."

"Jinyu wouldn't think that way." Xiao Zihan's first reaction was to refute his good brother.

Tang Xuan smiled and shook her head, "Zihan, people's words are scary, and people's hearts will be affected. Maybe today is Jiang Wan'er, tomorrow is Cai Jinyu, and the day after tomorrow, even you will doubt me, thinking that my love for you is based on Greed over material things. I don't want that to happen."

"How could I miss you that much?" Xiao Zihan looked hurt, "Why do you think of me like that?"

Tang Xuan was taken aback for a moment, she realized that she had spoken too seriously.

Accidentally, I spoke my mind.

But now that the words have been spoken, they cannot be taken back.

"I'm sorry..." Tang Xuan supported the wardrobe and lowered her head, her voice was depressed, "It's not that I don't believe in you, it's that I don't believe in human nature."

"What do you mean?"

Tang Xuan laughed miserably, "You know, I've lived alone for so many years, what is the thing I don't like to hear the most? Oh, it's people saying that I depend on others for my living."

Xiao Zihan had never seen Tang Xuan like this before, so he didn't know how to react.

"Children from ordinary families, even if they take food, drink, and red envelopes from others, they won't feel much. But if I take it, I will be asked to keep it in my heart. If I am not grateful, I will be told It's ungrateful, it's lack of tutoring."

"Do you know what's even more ridiculous? It's during the Chinese New Year. At that time, I still longed for family affection and family. I didn't want to spend the New Year alone, so I went to my relatives' house with the cheek and refused to leave. I wanted to have fun with them." Chinese New Year. But in their eyes, I went to ask for New Year’s money, and it was for money. They gave me the money with a black face, and sent me to the next house, so, later I..."

"Xuanxuan, stop talking." Xiao Zihan stepped forward and hugged Tang Xuan into his arms, "The past is over, it's over."

Tang Xuan closed her eyes and lay in Xiao Zihan's arms.

She belatedly discovered that she was already in tears.

These old childhood events are like thorns in the depths of her heart, usually invisible, but as long as they are mentioned, they will still make her so painful that she can't breathe.

Just now, she just wanted to show weakness to Xiao Zihan, but unexpectedly she was really moved and told these things that she had never told anyone.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have brought up this topic." Xiao Zihan's heart ached, he had a golden spoon in his mouth since he was born, and he had never encountered such a thing.

He couldn't even imagine what would happen to him if these things happened to him?

Can he have Tang Xuan's determination and work so hard to become a good person?
"Zihan..." Tang Xuan's voice choked up, "It's not that I don't trust you, I'm just afraid that you won't trust me, that I'm afraid of losing you."

"No, I won't be like those people."

Tang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned against Xiao Zihan's arms, feeling weak all over.She was becoming less and less able to control her emotions in front of Xiao Zihan, which was not a good sign.

If you boil a frog in warm water, the frog will be scalded to death.

She felt that she was about to become that frog.

The two hugged each other for a while before their emotions calmed down.Xiao Zihan sat on the bed surrounding Tang Xuan, looked at the several paper bags, and asked Tang Xuan, "Why did you buy so many clothes all of a sudden?"

In Xiao Zihan's impression, Tang Xuan was not a person who was keen on shopping.He was already very surprised to see Tang Xuan bought a whole set of cosmetics today.

"Because... I don't want to make you lose face by being too ugly." Tang Xuan replied half-truthfully.

Xiao Zihan smiled slightly. In fact, he had already thought of the answer.

"Since it's because of me that you need to spend money to buy these things, then you should swipe my card." Xiao Zihan followed the temptation, "All these expenses should be counted on my head. Don't waste your money yourself."

Tang Xuan was amused by Xiao Zihan's sophistry, and burst out laughing.

Xiao Zihan saw Tang Xuan smiled, and continued, "I'm right, when you're not with me, you don't buy such expensive cosmetics, but after you buy them with me, I have them too." Responsibility, isn't it? You dress up beautifully for me and for my friends, so should I do my part?"

"Okay, stop talking." Tang Xuan's face was about to turn red.

It seems that these words should be taught by girls to their boyfriends. Why did they come to her and become Xiao Zihan's education for her?
She is too hypocritical.

"No." Xiao Zihan retorted earnestly, "I found that you have a lot of thoughts in your little head, and I will tell you clearly what I have to say in the future, lest you think about other things again."

Tang Xuan's face turned red up to her ears. She never knew that she had such a thin skin.

And Xiao Zihan, so provocative.

"Next time you buy something, swipe my card, you know?" Xiao Zihan's tone was commanding, "You and I are so clearly distinguished, I feel very upset."

Xiao Zihan made it so clear that Tang Xuan couldn't hold on to her position any longer, so she could only respond weakly, "I was wrong, I'll do it later."

"Don't make me angry, or I'll buy something for you on my own." Seeing Tang Xuan obeying obediently, Xiao Zihan was in a good mood, and said playfully, "What brand-name bags and cosmetics, I bought them and piled them up at home to anger you. "

"Pfft... You really burned a lot of money." Tang Xuan laughed angrily.

"Hmph, you know it's good."

Tang Xuan stopped bickering with Xiao Zihan, she nestled in Xiao Zihan's arms, calming down bit by bit.Thinking of the quarrel between herself and Xiao Zihan, she suddenly wanted to laugh.

What she did today, and the quarrel with Xiao Zihan, if Jiang Wan'er knew about it, they would definitely scold her again.

After all, a man who is rushing to spend money for himself, even taking Joe as a no-go, in the eyes of Jiang Wan'er, is both hypocritical and pretentious.
