tearful rose

"Chen Zhen, my sister is here. I will go out with her in the afternoon. Let's talk about our affairs next time we meet." Su Qiyang walked towards Su Cailan, hugged her shoulders, and wanted to send her back to the reception room.

"Where are you going?"

Su Cailan said casually, "My brother will accompany me to buy hearing aids."

Su Qiyang couldn't help but touch his forehead - he was trying to drive Chen Zhen away, so his sister gave him an excuse.as expected--

"Miss Su, can I go with you? I happen to have no interview arrangements this afternoon."

"Uh... that's fine, if Mr. Chen doesn't mind."

"Miss Su, just call me Chen Zhen."

"Okay, Chen Zhen."

"Blue Blue..."

Su Cailan blinked innocently: "Mr. Chen... Uh, did Chen Zhen fail to confess yesterday? Or did you two quarrel? Isn't Chen Zhen your boyfriend?"

When Su Qiyang heard the word "boyfriend", his expression twisted slightly.

"...not yet."

Whether it's the distant and vague past, or the present with frequent accidents, Chen Zhen has never seen a man who has always been gentle and calm with such an expression - Su Qiyang, who has broken the mask like this, seems more real than the perfect Mr. Su. More lovely.

He laughed amusedly and viciously.

"If Teacher Su says it's not, then it's not."

Seeing that Chen Zhen was so obedient, Su Cailan felt sad, and decided in her heart that the two had indeed quarreled, so she couldn't help trying to persuade her to make peace: "It's normal to have different opinions on things. It's good to have a small quarrel, don't hurt your relationship."

"you're right."

Chen Zhen immediately followed suit.

Where did the pheasant come from to add drama to himself casually?Does Oscar owe him a statuette!Su Qiyang gritted his teeth and glared at Chen Zhen.

"Okay, stop talking."

Su Cailan just shut up honestly when Su Qiyang became angry from embarrassment.

By the time Su Qiyang backed the car out of the parking lot, Chen Zhen had already had a good chat with Su Cailan—an investigative reporter, full of fascinating conversation material and self-cultivation.

"Stop talking, get in the car."

Chen Zhen opened the co-pilot's door for Su Cailan in a gentlemanly manner, but Su Cailan smiled and opened the rear door by herself.

"From now on, I will abdicate the passenger seat in the car to Xian."

Su Qiyang's expression froze.

"...Come up, it's cold outside."

Chen Zhen suddenly felt that his sister's character was really interesting.

The baby blanket is still there.

Su Qiyang warned: "The temperature of the air conditioner has not come up yet, cover your legs."

"understood."

Although Su Cailan quickly expressed her position, she was still a little uncomfortable with Su Qiyang's "feelings".If Chen Zhen were a girl, she would definitely take the passenger seat and make fun of her future sister-in-law-"A man's passenger seat only belongs to his wife", but suddenly she knew that the future "sister-in-law" was a Man, this kind of joke is not easy to take.

"Are you free this weekend?"

Su Cailan tried her best to reduce her sense of existence.

Su Qiyang endured it.

"What's up?"

"Isn't it just a matter of meeting you?"

Chen Zhen asked innocently.

Su Cailan heard that Su Qiyang's tone was not quite right, and she was afraid that they would really quarrel and hurt the peace: "My brother's studio has no appointment this weekend, and my brother will accompany my mother and me to the museum to see the Southern Song Dynasty cultural relics exhibition tomorrow afternoon. I want to see the embroidery stitches and patterns handed down from the Southern Song Dynasty."

Silly sister, why are you talking about everything...

Su Qiyang was speechless.

Chen Zhen immediately asked, "Is this the latest two-month exhibition of cultural relics from the Southern Song Dynasty in the Municipal Museum? Just right, I'm going there to interview and take photos and write a report."

Su Qiyang frowned: "Didn't you go to work? You can't be with us."

"As journalists, when we run social news, work is life, life is work, and the boundaries are not so clear." Chen Zhen seemed to have suddenly found a way to understand the difficult problem of "Su Qiyang", and became more comfortable.

He smiled softly.

"Miss Su, don't you mind if I go with you?"

"Chen Zhen, don't be so polite, call me Cailan." Su Cailan said kindly, "I don't mind, I'm just afraid of disturbing your work." She hesitated for a while: "But my mother was there that day. ..."

Su Qiyang had a headache.

"Next time."

"Mr. Su..."

Stop acting, buddy!Make it seem like you have been wronged a lot?Su Qiyang felt that his gentle personality was in danger of collapsing.

If Chen Zhen continues to "play" like this...

"Isn't it normal for ordinary friends to go to see the exhibition together?" Su Cailan couldn't bear it at first: "Anyway, Chen Zhen also wants to see the exhibition for interviews, isn't there a photo or something? Mom said so, she won't be suspicious. After watching the exhibition, we can have dinner together in the evening."

Quite a perfect arrangement.

Su Qiyang sighed secretly.

The problem is that when the mother hears Chen Zhen's name, she will become suspicious...

"Okay."

Su Qiyang: "...Okay."

"Don't you do in-depth investigations? Why do you still do this kind of small report on urban life?"

"Occasionally cameo." Chen Zhen smiled slyly.Of course he wouldn't say it outright - that would have been the job of the colleagues at the next table.

After returning home at night, Su Cailan chased Su Qiyang who was washing dishes to the kitchen.Xin Wanwan went to wash up, Su Cailan was not afraid of being hard to explain by her mother.

"Brother, are you angry with Chen Zhen?"

"I'm angry with you." Su Qiyang smiled helplessly at his sister: "You said everything yourself before he asked, and it's too sincere."

Su Cailan, who was eating fruit, stuffed a piece of orange for Su Qiyang as if flattering her.

"Isn't this afraid of you quarreling and creating opportunities for you." Su Cailan was a little curious: "Brother, how long have you known each other? How did you know each other?"

Su Qiyang paused while washing the dishes.

He was lost in thought—

Su Cailan didn't wait for Su Qiyang's answer for a long time. Seeing him wandering in the sky, she was immediately hurt: "Yesterday I brought roses home, and today I heard the name of my boyfriend, and I lost my soul—and even said it wasn't a boyfriend. Hmph, it's just a show of tearing openly and secretly! You can't do this when you abuse a dog! I'm angry."

Su Qiyang couldn't laugh or cry.

He had a lawsuit on his forehead, and the girl even made fun of him.However, such a carefree Su Cailan is what he and Xin Wanwan want to see.

"Hey, stop making trouble, go play with your phone, I'm here to wash the dishes."

"Tsk."

Su Qiyang thought to himself: Did he really meet Chen Zhen before?

When the phone rang, Su Qiyang had just finished washing the dishes and had just entered the bathroom, Su Cailan was nestled among the pillows on the sofa, watching the family ethics theater with Xin Wanwan.

"Lanlan, who's calling?"

"My brother's."

"Go pick it up, your brother is taking a shower."

Su Cailan stepped on the squirrel version of plush slippers, picked up Su Qiyang's cell phone and took a casual look - the caller's name was Chen Zhen.If it was different from normal times, Su Cailan usually would not answer Su Qiyang's calls, and would just say a word before hanging up.This time, when she found out who Chen Zhen was, she became a little mischievous.Anyway, her brother dotes on her very much, it's just a phone call, he won't really blame her for anything.

Her finger slid across the green scroll bar on the screen.

Before Su Cailan could speak, she heard Chen Zhen's voice on the other end of the phone, soft and deep like the night: "Mr. Su, do you really not remember me at all?"

ha?

Su Cailan was confused again.

"Five years ago, S City Evening News, Aibao International Chain Early Education Institution, summer vacation, part-time job for a day to watch social activities-you really don't remember me at all?"

"Uh……"

Su Cailan was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry...Chen Zhen, I'm Su Cailan. My brother has gone to take a shower. Do you have anything to do with him? When he comes out of the bathroom in a while, I'll ask him to call you back."

Chen Zhen was silent for a while.

He glanced back at his parents who were sighing opposite him in the living room: "It's nothing important, I just want to talk to him. Since he's inconvenient right now, forget it. Cailan, see you tomorrow."

Su Cailan regretted that she shouldn't be so cheap just now——

It's actually quite embarrassing.

"Oh, good."

Xin Wanwan turned her head to look at her daughter: "Who is looking for your brother?"

Su Cailan put down the phone, pretending to be casual and said: "Ah, my brother is a good friend, he is a reporter. By the way, Mom, he happened to be going to the museum for an interview tomorrow, so we can have a meal together."

Xin Wanwan nodded without doubting him.

"You young people like to be lively and play together. It's good. Don't ask others to treat you tomorrow. It's impolite. Tell your brother to book a restaurant early."

Xin Wanwan added: "Lanlan, you are not young anymore, you can start a relationship. Your brother should have a good friend with such a good friend. Is he single?"

"Don't think about it, people have masters."

Not only a friend, but also your son's boyfriend.Even if he is so handsome and shameless, a younger sister can't steal her brother's boyfriend!

Su Cailan laughed out loud.

When Su Qiyang came out of the bathroom, Xin Wanwan had already gone to bed.Su Cailan was nestled on the sofa playing with her mobile phone, and when she saw him coming out, she pointed to the coffee table without raising her head.

"Your family Chen Zhen called you."

Su Qiyang's movement of wiping his hair froze for a moment: "Did you pick it up?"

"Got it. Are you angry?"

"Can your brother be mad at you? What did he tell you?"

"I didn't say anything, I just wanted to talk to you. I said you were taking a shower, and he hung up." Su Cailan put down her phone, and repeated Chen Zhen's message to Su Qiyang from memory.

"what do you mean?"

Su Qiyang was taken aback when he heard that, in a blink of an eye, Chen Zhen's face matched a certain scene in his memory - no wonder he always thought Chen Zhen looked familiar.

It turned out to be the aggressive young reporter back then.

"By the way, I told mom that you have friends to accompany us tomorrow. Mom told you not to ask others to invite us to dinner, and you should book restaurants early."

"Okay. What would you like to eat?"

"I heard from my colleagues that there is a new Northwest-style restaurant opened near the museum, and the roast leg of lamb is very authentic. And the most amazing thing is that the salad and mashed potatoes there are very delicious. I want to go."

"it is good."

"By the way, Lanlan, don't call Chen Zhen's name in front of mom tomorrow." Su Qiyang suddenly reminded him as if he remembered something.

"why?"

"... Mom saw the name on the card in the bouquet of roses yesterday. Do you understand? I'm afraid Mom will suspect this when she hears his name."

"Wow."

Su Cailan asked again: "There is still a card? I didn't see it."

"...I put it away."

"Tsk, the cold dog food was slapped on my face indiscriminately. Okay, I will pay attention to it tomorrow, then I will just call him A-Zhen from now on."

Su Cailan went to take a bath contentedly.
