half thorns, half joy

Tang Xuan didn't think much about it at all. After chewing the Jianweixiaoshi tablet, she picked up the water glass and drank a couple of sips of water.

She was already full, and she put the water glass aside after only two sips.Huang Tingting glanced at the water glass intentionally, and sat back in her seat.

Soon, Xiao Zihan and Cai Jinyu came back.

"Tell Langyue and let's go back." Tang Xuan said, "I think his business here is pretty good. Let's not occupy the seats after we've finished eating."

Xiao Zihan pulled out the chair for Tang Xuan, "Okay, it's not convenient for you to drive like this, I'll see you off."

Before Tang Xuan said anything, Huang Tingting said first, "It's fine, I can drive."

What she said was so inexplicable and nonchalant that even Cai Jinyu, who had nothing to do with her, couldn't help but glance at Huang Tingting.

However, Huang Tingting stood there blankly as if unconscious.

Tang Xuan didn't want to see her good friend being so embarrassed, so she made a relief and said, "Yes, Tingting can just drive. You are so busy, and the child is still with you. You should go back and see the child."

Tang Xuan's attitude was firm, and Xiao Zihan couldn't say no.

After all, they were relatives and friends. Deng Langyue, who is now the owner of the hot pot restaurant, personally sent the group out and said goodbye to them at the door.

Xiao Zihan and Cai Jinyu came together and got into the car together.

Tang Xuan said that she wanted to take a walk around the neighborhood and visit the mall, so she sent Xiao Zihan off first.

"Be careful yourself, call me if you need anything." Before leaving, Xiao Zihan said this very seriously.

In front of Huang Tingting, Xiao Zihan didn't want to say much. Although he was worried, he knew he had to worry about Tang Xuan's face.

After Xiao Zihan's car drove away, Huang Tingting suggested to go to the nearest pedestrian street to eat.

Tang Xuan had no doubts about him, so she agreed casually.

After coming out of the hot pot restaurant, there is a food street on the left, and various fast fashion clothing stores and accessories stores on the right. Tang Xuan and Huang Tingting went shopping on the right.

Today's Tang Xuan seldom went out to buy things by herself. Whether it was clothes or jewelry, Xiao Zihan would ask someone to prepare them and send them directly to Tang Xuan.

Therefore, Tang Xuan hadn't experienced the thrill of shopping for gadgets for a long time.

She was stuffed and couldn't walk fast, but it was a novelty, and she had to walk around every store after entering, and she didn't want to let go of an inch of land.

Huang Tingting followed her step by step, looking around from time to time.

"Tingting, don't you think this little hat is cute?" Tang Xuan gestured on her head with a child's hat, even smiling happily.

"Well, cute, do you want to buy it for the two children?" Huang Tingting asked.

Tang Xuan showed a regretful expression and shook her head, "I want to buy it, but even if I buy it, the babies won't wear it. Zihan won't let the baby wear this kind of underwear that hasn't passed the high-standard safety and quality inspection. They use it and say it’s not safe.”

Huang Tingting gave a short smile, which was a bit awkward.

In the end, Tang Xuan put down the furry hat. She didn't really care about wearing street clothes, after all, that's how she came here, but Xiao Zihan didn't want children to use these, so she didn't need to compete with Xiao Zihan on it.

So even though Tang Xuan's shopping became popular, she still didn't buy anything. After visiting several stores, she just bought a few notebooks and a few ballpoint pens that she usually used.

"Tingting, is there anything you want to buy?" Tang Xuan took Huang Tingting's arm affectionately, "Is there anything you want to buy, I can accompany you to buy it. Anyway, I'm out today, let's go shopping more Digest."

Huang Tingting first said that she had nothing to buy, but suddenly changed her tone. She pulled Tang Xuan up and walked on the way back.

Seeing her stop at the door of the jewelry store she just visited, Tang Xuan was puzzled, "Didn't we come to this store just now? What did you like?"

When Tang Xuan said this, her eyelids drooped, as if she was tired.

Huang Tingting, who had been staring at Tang Xuan, naturally noticed it, but she just stared at Tang Xuan for a while without saying anything.

After entering the jewelry store, Huang Tingting started to choose without purpose.

From bracelets to necklaces, and then from necklaces to rings, she tried them on one by one, and chatted with the salesperson, tirelessly.

At the beginning, Tang Xuan was by her side helping her pick and giving her advice, but after a while, Tang Xuan got tired and seemed a little sleepy, so she sat on the chair by the door and waited for Huang Tingting to pick.

Huang Tingting took this pick for half an hour.

This jewelry store sells a certain style, and the price is not expensive. Huang Tingting bought a few as soon as she came up, so the salesperson didn't bother, and accompanied her to try one by one.

"Okay, that's fine, I want these five too, let's pay the bill." Huang Tingting looked at Tang Xuan who was almost so sleepy that she was about to fall off her chair, and handed the selected accessories to the salesperson.

The salesperson happily went to make an order, Huang Tingting also quickly paid, and walked towards Tang Xuan with the accessories.

"Xuanxuan." She called softly.

Tang Xuan let out an ah, raised her head and looked at it with her eyes blindfolded.

"Xuanxuan, are you sleepy?" Huang Tingting asked softly.

"Well, a little bit." Tang Xuan yawned and stood up, rubbing her sleepy eyes, "Maybe it's because I was too full just now, and I tend to get sleepy when I'm full."

Huang Tingting lowered her head and thought for a few seconds, then said, "Then let's go back."

"You're not going shopping anymore?" Tang Xuan didn't want to spoil her friend's interest because of her own reasons.

"How can I go shopping with you like this?" Huang Tingting acted like she was doting on Tang Xuan, rubbing Tang Xuan's hair, "Okay, let's go back."

Tang Xuan patted her cheek and tried her best to look sober, "It's okay, I can do it!"

Huang Tingting smiled, and patted the chair, "Why don't we sit down and rest for a while, I'm tired after picking for a while, let's take a short rest and then go shopping again. Take a little rest, and you should be more energetic."

"Well, that's fine." Tang Xuan really thought that she was sleepy because she was tired from walking, so she agreed to Huang Tingting's proposal, and sat on a chair in the jewelry store with Tang Xuan, chatting with each other.

Huang Tingting just bought thousands of things in the store, and the clerk's attitude was naturally excellent. Seeing them sitting there resting, not only did they not say anything, they even smiled warmly when they passed by.

However, Tang Xuan didn't regain her spirits. The more she sat, the sleepier her eyelids became. In the end, she fell asleep directly on Huang Tingting's shoulder.

Huang Tingting gently pushed Tang Xuan's body, and whispered in Tang Xuan's ear, "Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan, wake up."

Tang Xuan didn't respond in the slightest and fell into a deep sleep.

"She just gave birth, and she hasn't slept well recently. She is really tired." Seeing the store clerk looking over curiously, Huang Tingting explained with a smile.

The clerk nodded and sighed, "Having a baby is hard work. When I first gave birth, I was tossed and couldn't sleep all night. In the year I gave birth, I aged several years. "

Seeing that the clerk was about to continue chattering, Huang Tingting smiled friendly and helped Tang Xuan to stand up at the right time.

"She can't sleep here, let me help her back to the car."

"Hey, go, be careful."

Huang Tingting helped Tang Xuan out of the jewelry store. Right now Tang Xuan was almost in a coma, with her whole weight on Huang Tingting's body.

If it wasn't clear that Bai Xin should be watching nearby, Huang Tingting wouldn't have the strength to hold on.

With difficulty, she helped Tang Xuan back to the side of the car, opened the door of the passenger seat, and put Tang Xuan in. Tang Xuan fell heavily, and she was about to fall, so she quickly put on the seat belt for Tang Xuan.

"Huh..." After doing all this, she was so tired that she was sweating all over.

After closing the car door, Huang Tingting's cell phone rang in her bag.

With a sudden chill on her back, she frantically went to take out her cell phone, and took it out from her bag. Sure enough, it was Bai Xin's number.

Uneasy, she glanced into the car and saw that Tang Xuan was really fast asleep with no signs of waking up, so she swallowed and picked up the phone.

"Hello." She lowered her voice.

Bai Xin's voice came from the other end of the phone, very cold, with a look of scrutiny, "What's wrong with Tang Xuan."

Huang Tingting immediately raised her heart. She looked around nervously, guessing what Bai Xin would be hiding, and secretly watched her.

However, there are people coming and going on this street, and there are countless buildings beside the street. She can't find out Bai Xin's location just by looking around like this.

"Did you see it all?" she asked.

Bai Xin clicked her tongue impatiently, "Yes, I saw you were looking for me, don't look for me, you never thought I would be there, just answer my question honestly."

Huang Tingting couldn't help straightening her back. She gritted her teeth and said the words she had prepared a long time ago.

"She fell asleep again. Since I gave her the medicine you gave her, she has been snoozing. Every time she falls asleep, she feels like a coma, and she can't wake up when she screams."

"No other reaction?"

Huang Tingting replied nervously: "Yes, I have a headache, I've been talking about a headache."

"She's like this, Xiao Zihan didn't suspect it? Didn't he ask a doctor to see her?"

"Xiao Zihan doesn't know." Huang Tingting opened her eyes and said nonsense, "Nowadays, Xiao Zihan doesn't care that much about Tang Xuan. You just saw that Xiao Zihan left with Cai Jinyu after dinner, and didn't even say that he wanted to stay with Tang Xuan any longer. Yes. Tang Xuan is not in a good mood, that's why she dragged me shopping."

Bai Xin was silent, and the silence was like an invisible mountain, pressing down on Huang Tingting's heart.

If you look closely, you can see that her hands are trembling, and her face is terribly white.

Fortunately, this tortured silence ended soon. Bai Xin seemed to believe Huang Tingting's words, and ordered coldly, "Okay, you did a good job. Continue to give Tang Xuan the medicine. Don't think about following Huang Tingting's words." I'm playing tricks, otherwise, you know the consequences."

"I know." Huang Tingting nodded as if loyal.

"Hmph, you better know." Bai Xin sneered and nodded her head.

Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, Huang Tingting closed her eyes deeply.

As the cool wind passed through the street, she belatedly realized that her entire back was soaked in cold sweat.
