Girlfriends

Zong Ying couldn't remember how long ago it was the last time she went to bed without saying goodnight to Xiao Yezi.

There are still lights in the corridor, but when you really enter the house, it is completely dark, even the faint but warm little night light that usually lights up at night is not turned on.

With the help of the light from the phone screen, Zong Ying crawled to the sofa in the living room, dropped all her belongings, walked lightly into the bedroom to get a change of clothes, and went back in the dark after taking a shower, putting her movements on hold. Going to the bed and lying down lightly, listening to the well-proportioned little leaves in my ears, which should have been in a deep sleep state, I couldn't help but sigh silently in my heart.

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: Tonight, she didn't hear Xiao Yezi say good night to herself.

Perhaps because of this, Zong Ying didn't sleep well all night.

When I woke up the next morning, I only felt a little more tired than I hadn't slept all night.

Fortunately, the scent wafting from the kitchen as always seemed to heal the hollowness in my heart in a moment.

Running all the way to the door of the kitchen, she saw the back of Xiao Ye Zi who was busy. It was an all-too-familiar scene, but she suddenly felt warm in her eyes.

Almost uncontrollably approaching her, Zong Ying stretched out her arms and hugged Ye Xiaohan's shoulders from behind. Her breath was filled with the fresh fragrance of shampoo in her hair, which made people feel like they would never want to The urge to let go.

After half a minute passed like this, Zong Ying took a deep breath again, and Zong Ying said in a coquettish tone, "It smells so good, what did you make today?"

Ye Xiaohan pointed to the chicken strips that were about to be fried in the pot, "I still have some chicken and lettuce at home, so I made chicken rolls, you go wash up, and you can eat them in a while."

Zong Ying, who was immersed in her emotions, didn't notice that Ye Xiaohan's body stiffened like a conditioned reflex at that moment, nor did she notice her unprecedented, flat tone.

Everything seems to be the same as before, eat breakfast, clean up the kitchen, then organize the things they need to bring, pack the lunch that has been prepared in advance, and then go out to the magazine office together.

However, everything seemed to be different again. Xiao Yezi didn't pour milk for her when she was having breakfast, and didn't remind her to pack her things when she packed her backpack. To the station, from the bus to the magazine office, almost didn't say a word all the way.

No matter how dull Zong Ying was, she also sensed something was wrong with Ye Xiaohan.

She is not a soft person. In such a situation, her first reaction is to "ask directly".

But at the same time, she knows Ye Xiaohan too well. That girl Xiao Yezi will be bored in her heart. Before she thinks clearly or adjusts her emotions, no matter how much she asks, she will only get "It's okay." "s answer.

only……

It's really strange to be so silent all the time.

Zong Ying sighed silently in her heart for the [-]st time when she was not working.

Hey, let's chat with her at noon.

Thinking of this, I glanced at the lower right corner of the computer monitor, and found that it was only 15 minutes before the lunch break.

The time management of the magazine is not strictly strict, and there are already groups of colleagues gathering together to study what to eat for lunch.

While they were in a daze, they heard someone ask them, "Where are you two, Ye Zi? Are you still in the office today?"

Zong Ying just wanted to nod, but Ye Xiaohan said first, "I'll go out to eat with you, Xiao Yingzi... I guess I'm going to stay."

Not to mention Zong Ying, other colleagues were a little puzzled when they heard the words, "You two are like conjoined twins every day, what's going on today?"

The uncomfortable feeling in Zong Ying's heart has almost turned into "very uncomfortable". She looked straight into Ye Xiaohan's eyes, trying to see something from her eyes.

However, nothing.

Ye Xiaohan quickly looked away and turned to look at the door of the office.

Everyone took advantage of the trend to look over there, only to discover the "mystery" - there was a person standing there, holding a lunch that should have just been bought in one hand, and a small pot of delicate succulents in the other hand, Seeing that Zong Ying also saw her, she just smiled softly, "I suddenly wanted to come over to see you, but I didn't say hello in advance, so I won't delay your work, right?"

Lu Fan has always been measured, this is probably the first time he has been an "uninvited guest" since we met, but obviously it is not "presumptuous", nor is it a kind of "interruption", at least in the eyes of others, it is so of.

Amidst the friendly clamor of everyone, Lu Fan was "pushed" to Zong Ying's desk.

He put the things in his hand on the table, "I came here uninvited, didn't I bother you?"

Zong Ying's first reaction was not to respond to him in any form, but to turn her head to look at Ye Xiaohan—however, at this time, Ye Xiaohan's back was facing her, so she couldn't see the expression.

The colleagues looked around the pot of succulents for a while, and after coming to the half-joking conclusion that "it is more tasteful than giving any roses", they exited collectively in a very "understanding" manner, leaving space for the two of them.

Zong Ying didn't even have time to perfunctory Lu Fan, her eyes still stayed on Ye Xiaohan.

She walked out of the office with her colleagues.

Her figure was a little stiff.

Her steps were slow.

She lowered her head slightly...

Zong Ying found that even if it was just a back view, she seemed to be able to see all of Xiao Yezi's emotions.

"What's wrong? Was it too late yesterday and didn't have a good rest?" Lu Fan obviously saw that her mood was wrong, and his tone was more gentle and caring.

"No, it's okay." Zong Ying came back to her senses, and smiled like a cover-up, "The magazine is quite far from your company, isn't it?"

Lu Fan opened the bag he brought and took out the takeaway lunch box, "The company has opened a new tea restaurant downstairs. It is said that the owner is from Hong Kong and has been a chef for decades, so the taste is very authentic. I went back to work today just in time When the meal was just opened, there were not too many people, so I packed some and brought it here to give you a taste."

As he spoke, he pushed the opened lunch box towards Zong Ying, "But it's been left there for almost an hour, so there must be nothing fresh and delicious."

Zong Ying picked up the chopsticks at hand, but did not move for a long time, "Lu Fan..."

Lu Fan waited for a long time, but there was still nothing to say.He seemed to know what Zong Ying was thinking, "I know, maybe it's still a bit abrupt after all, but...it's been so many years, I don't want to wait any longer...so..." He paused for a moment, and waited until Zong Ying's gaze met him Only then continued, "At least give me a chance to seriously pursue you..."

The author has something to say:
