half thorns, half joy

After dinner, several people returned to the living room.Cai Lin intentionally asked Xiao Zihan to stay for a while, so she spared no effort to enliven the atmosphere, making everyone forget that Xiao Zihan was going back.

However, no matter how hard she tried, time would still pass, the sky would still get dark, and Xiao Zihan would still have to leave.

At nearly nine o'clock, Xiao Yuebai called Xiao Zihan's cell phone, and Xiao Zihan answered the phone in front of everyone.

"Hello baby?"

"Father." Xiao Yuebai called out crisply.

"Well, Daddy's here, what's the matter baby?"

"Father, aren't you coming back tonight?" Xiao Yuebai asked, "I want to spend time with grandma tonight, can you tell mom about it?"

Xiao Zihan hummed, then turned to Tang Xuan and said, "Yuebai said she wants to stay there tonight, so let me tell you."

Tang Xuan stretched out her hand, "Call me."

She took the phone from Xiao Zihan's hand, coughed softly, "Baby?"

"Mom." Hearing Tang Xuan's voice, Xiao Yuebai immediately froze a lot.

"Well, baby, you can stay if you want. Grandma is hurt and in a bad mood. You can talk to grandma well, don't mess around and don't let grandma bother to coax you, you know?"

Xiao Yuebai hummed, "Don't worry, Mom, the baby knows."

Tang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, she knew in her heart that her baby was sensible, but she still wanted to tell her that since she couldn't see Zhao Suizhi, let Xiao Yuebai take good care of her, she wasn't considered disobedient.

In essence, Tang Xuan was too kind.

After finishing her warning, Tang Xuan didn't know what else to say. After thinking about it, she returned the phone to Xiao Zihan.

As soon as Xiao Zihan picked it up, he heard Xiaoyue asking with a smile on the phone: "Dad, why are you with mom? Are you going to live with mom over there tonight?"

"Ah?" Xiao Zihan sneaked a glance at Tang Xuan, seeing that Tang Xuan was hanging her head, as if she was thinking about something, but didn't hear this sentence, so he replied, "No, Dad will be back later."

Xiao Yuebai let out an oh, sounding disappointed.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zihan sat for a while, then got up to leave.

He knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, some things had to be done slowly, Tang Xuan couldn't be forced, unless Tang Xuan took the initiative to let him stay today, otherwise he would force others to stay.

It is very rare to have such progress today, and he can no longer be ruined because of being unable to hold back for a while.

Hearing Xiao Zihan said that he was going back, Tang Xuan did not try to keep him, but sent Xiao Zihan out together with a few others.

Since Xiao Zihan was going back, Cai Jinyu naturally left together.As for Cai Lin, she has lived with Tang Xuan most of the time recently, so she will naturally not go back tonight.

"Be careful on the road, you guys! Go back and rest early!" Cai Lin put her hands on her waist and urged loudly.

Xiao Zihan smiled slightly, took a deep look at Tang Xuan, and got into the car.

As the car drove away under the moonlight, Tang Xuan looked at the end of the straight road with mixed emotions, a bit indescribably sour, but more relaxed.

The cause of her parents' death hit her and Xiao Zihan hard, but now that she could sit down with Xiao Zihan and think about the future, Xiao Zihan was willing to promise her that she didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Even if something big happens, even if the sky falls, as long as Xiao Zihan stands side by side with her, as long as their hands are still tightly held together, even if there is purgatory ahead, she can grit her teeth and walk through it.

As long as she and Xiao Zihan's hearts are still together.

"I've been tossing back and forth all day today, and you're all tired." Tang Xuan looked gratefully at the two friends who were with her, and said softly, "It's getting late, you guys go to rest."

Looking at Tang Xuan's tired face, Cai Lin nodded heavily, "Okay, sister, go to bed early, don't worry about us anymore."

Tang Xuan nodded, and the three of them returned to the house together, and she went to the bedroom to wash up.Huang Tingting and Cai Lin also went back to their bedrooms.

Huang Tingting returned to the bedroom, carefully closed the door, leaned her back against the door, and took out the small plastic box in her trousers pocket.

Because she was always nervous about the thing Bai Xin gave her, she would reach into her pocket from time to time to check if it was still there.

After being wiped back and forth by the sweat in her palm all afternoon and night, the small plastic box was rubbed slippery and not dry at all.

Huang Tingting stared at the box for a long while, only looking at the outside of the box, she couldn't see anything at all, it was just an ordinary small white plastic box, it looked like it was sold in MUJI, the kind of small box for packing medicines when going out.

After taking several deep breaths, Huang Tingting opened the box.

Dozens of white pills, the size of half a pinky fingernail, lay quietly in the box. At first glance, they looked like the colds prescribed by doctors in pharmacies.

However, Huang Tingting knew very well that this could not be a cold medicine at all.It took Bai Xin so much effort to hand this thing into her hands, this thing is by no means simple.

Huang Tingting's palm was hot, and she wanted to throw it out, but she didn't dare.

She stood like a wooden stake for a long while before she took out her cell phone from her pocket and sent a text message to Bai Xin with only one hand trembling.

"What is this."

Bai Xin didn't reply right away, waiting was hard, Huang Tingting stood there blankly for a while, feeling her calf trembling, she could only go over and sit down on the bed.

After sitting down for a few minutes, Bai Xin's phone call came in.

Huang Tingting glanced at the door reflexively. Seeing the closed door, she relaxed a little and picked up the phone.

"Hello." Her voice was dry and tense, with some fear.

Bai Xin was the complete opposite. She looked like she had just taken a hot bath, and even her tone of voice was lazy.

"Why, it's time to look at what I gave you."

Huang Tingting replied concisely, "I've been staying with Tang Xuan all the time, so I didn't have a chance to watch it. What did you give me?"

Bai Xin told her in a nonchalant manner, as if she was playing with a pet, and smiled lightly, "Guess what it is?"

Huang Tingting was already in a hurry and couldn't stand being teased like this. She ignored Bai Xin's sneering sneer, and continued to ask stubbornly: "What the hell is it? What are you giving me this for?"

"Cut, it's boring." Bai Xin's voice cooled down, as if it was filled with ice balls, and the cold wind was blowing, "I forgot the name of that thing, the English name, anyway, it's hallucinogenic, as for its use, Of course, I asked you to use it for Tang Xuan. Otherwise, do you want to drink it yourself?"

Huang Tingting couldn't breathe almost instantly. She heard her own voice trembling on the phone: "Give...after giving Tang Xuan a drink, will...what will happen?"

"It's hallucinogenic, what reaction do you think it will have?" Bai Xin explained impatiently.

But Huang Tingting's attention was not on this right now. From the first day she was driven back by Bai Xin, she knew that Bai Xin was going to use her to attack Tang Xuan, but she never thought that she was to drug Tang Xuan.

Huang Tingting felt that she was so terrified that she could barely hold the small medicine box. She swallowed desperately for a few mouthfuls before she asked, "Then... will Tang Xuan die?"

"Ah?" Bai Xin became more and more impatient, as if she was going to hang up the phone in a second.

Huang Tingting was frightened, and hurriedly explained: "I...I mean, if the dose of this medicine is too heavy to cause death, it will be very troublesome, and a private doctor will come to check Tang Xuan's body every week. If there is any clue, then Xiao Zihan will definitely investigate thoroughly."

After hearing Huang Tingting's words, Bai Xin became less impatient.She replied seriously: "You don't have to worry about that. Although the drug is hallucinogenic, it doesn't have that much effect. You can find a way to give Tang Xuan a drink every week. She only takes one tablet a week. There will be symptoms of drowsiness, even if the doctor goes to it, it will not be visible."

Huang Tingting didn't dare to ask further, she hummed, and hung up the phone before annoying Bai Xin.

Even if she didn't ask further questions, she could still guess the indelible damage that such medicine would cause to the body if taken for a long time.Those who are mild may become more and more sleepy and lose energy, while those who are severe may lose their minds and finally lose their thinking ability.

Bai Xin's vicious Huang Tingting had tried it herself, that woman definitely wouldn't just bring some drowsiness medicine.

and……

Huang Tingting spread out her palms and looked at the white pill that was no different from ordinary sleeping pills. She thought, maybe Bai Xin was just lying to her by saying that the effect of this medicine was so slight.

Once she gave it to Tang Xuan and something happened to Tang Xuan, then the first person Xiao Zihan would go to would definitely be her.

At that time, even if she confessed to Bai Xin and everything, let alone Bai Xin, Xiao Zihan would definitely not let her go.

However, when Huang Tingting thought of the reason she had fallen into Bai Xin's hands, she became afraid again. She was afraid of Bai Xin.

How to do……

What should she do……

Huang Tingting fell backwards and collapsed on the mattress. The mattress was so soft that she fell down as if she was trapped in a ball of cotton, soft and comfortable.

But when she closed her eyes, she seemed to be able to feel that the mattress that surrounded her was covered with spikes. If she didn't pay attention, she would be stabbed in pain.

……

It was already late when Xiao Zihan and Cai Jinyu returned to Xiao's house.

At this point in time, most of the people in Xiao Zhai have already fallen asleep, including Zhao Suizhi and Xiao Yuebai.Cai Jinyu didn't go back to her own residence, and went into Xiao's house with Xiao Zihan, intending to sleep in the guest room overnight.

He came to Xiao's house often, and he was used to living in the guest room, so he went to sleep consciously without Xiao Zihan's arrangement.

"I have a meeting at the company tomorrow morning, so I won't chat with you tonight." Cai Jinyu waved his hand at Xiao Zihan, "Don't think too much about what you have. Go to bed early and get up to work tomorrow."

I thought he would enter the room after saying this carelessly, but when he reached the door, he stopped and turned his head, looking at Xiao Zihan.

"Zihan, you bear the fate of the entire Xiao family on your shoulders, not just the love of children."

This sentence really didn't seem to come from Cai Jinyu's mouth, Xiao Zihan was taken aback, and before he could reply, Cai Jinyu had already entered the room.

Xiao Zihan stood there for a while before going upstairs.
