On Wednesday night, in the kitchen of Xiao Qiao's house, Lin Er wore an apron and poured a plate of washed shrimp into a pot with a thick soup with a blank face.

Xiao Qiao diligently handed over the plate, Lin Er glanced at her, and said lukewarmly: "No need for you, you can go out and stay." ”

"I'm afraid you're tired. ”

Lin Er neatly put out the braised shrimp, and then pushed her with his free hand: "I haven't seen you so attentive when I cook for you every day...... It's just one more person, I'm still busy, don't make a mess. ”

She paused, and then said, "If you really feel sorry for me, take someone home without asking me." ”

Xiao Qiao scratched his head weakly: "Beauty is wrong, I was tricked, hehe." ”

She coaxed Lin Er again, and when she walked out of the kitchen, she inexplicably felt like a scumbag. And the culprit who seduced her, a scumbag, was sitting on the sofa, as if he was in his own home, and Baozi was lying at his feet wagging his tail. Seeing Xiao Qiao come out, Zhou Guangjin beckoned to her.

"Come and stay with me. ”

Xiao Qiao: "...... Okay, here we go. ”

She just walked to Zhou Guangjin's side, and he was hugged and sat on the sofa, he buried it in her neck and bit it gently: "You kept your distance from me in the company, and when you returned home, your friend kept pestering you, I was jealous." ”

Xiao Qiao blushed a little, selectively forgetting the fact that she was pestering Lin Er, and then became indignant: "It's just that she stares at me all day long, and she can't fall in love well, and her dogs are probably looking forward to it." ”

Zhou Guangjin frowned suspiciously: "Dog...... Son?"

"Well, Lin'er's boyfriend, she talked about it when she was in college, because she often made Lin'er angry, so I called him a dog. ”

Lin Er's craftsmanship has always been good, in the past few months that the two have lived together, Xiao Qiao has been visibly mellow with the naked eye, and after the three of them had dinner, Xiao Qiao took the initiative to brush the bowl, and then sat back to her boyfriend like a little daughter-in-law.

Lin Er put the fruit plate on the coffee table heavily, and looked fierce: "Eat the fruit." ”

Xiao Qiao was a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly broke free from Zhou Guangjin's embrace and stood up: "I'll go get the little fork." ”

There were only Zhou Guangjin and Lin Er left in the living room, there was no program on TV, and advertisements were being played lively, Zhou Guangjin turned his head and looked at Lin Er meaningfully: "...... Do you have a boyfriend?"

Lin Er looked at the advertisement expressionlessly and asked, "What if there is, do you have any opinions?"

Zhou Guangjin did not react to Lin Er's cold words, and was still gentle and polite: "When I first saw you at Xiao Qiao's house, I didn't recognize you...... Now that I think about it, we should have met when we were in college, and you were a good friend of Little Joe at that time, and you took good care of her, thank you. ”

Lin Er snorted coldly: "...... Are you showing me something?"

The man sat back and made his posture more comfortable: "It's not to show off, it's just a hint, I'm dating Xiao Qiao, so it's best not to be too obvious about your hostility towards me, otherwise she will be embarrassed." ”

"Knowing that I am hostile to you, what else are you doing here. ”

"How do I know that you are really a competent friend, didn't you break up with your boyfriend a long time ago? In order to stay by Xiao Qiao's side, tell this kind of lie, you really are-" Zhou Guangjin's words stopped at seeing the woman standing at the kitchen door with a few forks.

She opened her mouth slightly, her expression was still confused, but her eyes were already red: "Lin'er...... What do you mean by Mitsujin's words, didn't you want to come and work because your boyfriend was in Kyoto?"

Seeing the obvious sorrow on Xiao Qiao's face, Zhou Guangjin's usually cold face showed a trace of annoyance.

Lin Er glanced at him sarcastically, mocking him that a big man would reveal the secrets they all wanted to hide because of his quick tongue.

"What are you crying about, don't cry first, come here, I'll tell you. ”

Xiao Qiao followed behind Lin Er, and the two women went to the balcony one after the other, through the glass door, Zhou Guangjin pursed his lips and sat on the sofa, his back slightly stiff.

Xiao Qiao tugged at the corner of Lin Er's clothes: "You and the dog...... No, you broke up with Wang Duoduo?"

“…… Well, it's the old yellow calendar. ”

"Then you came to Kyoto because of me? I lied to me to say that there are better job opportunities here? I should have thought that you would have worked in the local art museum in your hometown. ”

Lin Er paused, and a hint of irritation appeared on her face: "I didn't want to tell you. ”

She sighed: "Auntie didn't want you to return to China at the beginning, they have all settled abroad, and there are no other relatives in your family, originally she wanted to stop you." Later, I told her that I would also develop in Kyoto, and that we had been neighbors since we were children, and that my aunt would be relieved when I was there. ”

"Then we can also discuss, I didn't ask you to lie for me, and I don't want you to give up your original life for me! The more Xiao Qiao spoke, the more he felt justified, and in the end, he became arrogant, put down his hand, and stuck his waist, "Don't you treat me as a friend!"

"I told you that I quit my job at an art museum to start a business in Kyoto for you, would you agree? Besides, you didn't tell me about the vain return. ”

“……”

“……”

Silence, silence at the extreme. Xiao Qiao rubbed over, tugged at the corner of Lin Er's clothes, and looked at her with blank eyes: "...... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have killed you just now, I just ......"

I just don't want anyone to stand up for me, no matter what.

You too, and so do you return to the night.

Xiao Qiao's words were not spoken, but Lin Er understood, behind her, she rubbed Xiao Qiao's head: "Xiao Qiao, we are friends, it's good if you remember this, I will not only protect you, I can also protect myself." ”
