The rare weekend holiday finally arrived, and Xue Rin, who had been working overtime for several nights in a row, fell asleep in bed.

The bedroom was quiet, the thick blackout curtains blocked all the sunlight that wanted to break in, and Peng Peng walked slowly to Xue Rin's bedside, panting with his mouth open.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that Xue Rin didn't react, it stood up, put two heavy big paws on the edge of the bed, and stretched out another paw to slap Xue Rin's arm.

"Get out!"

Xue Rin commanded with his eyes closed, his voice low and hoarse.

When he heard this, he seemed to be encouraged, and immediately put his head on the bed excitedly, and jumped up and down on the ground on his hind legs, trying to pick up the edge of the bed.

"Pengpeng, it's a felony to disturb my sleep, do you hear?" Xue Rin pressed Pengpeng's excited front paw and pushed it down from the side of the bed.

Xue Rin just turned over and was about to continue sleeping, but suddenly felt the mattress sink, and he shouted in his heart, "It's not good!"

In the next second, a wet tongue invaded Xue Rin's cheek, Xue Rin was so frightened that he immediately opened his eyes, pushed Peng Peng aside, and then burrowed the whole person into the quilt.

"Puff pun, you just spare me! You just let me sleep a little longer, just a while, okay?"

But what greeted this humble begging for mercy was not a moment of peace, but a heavy blow from Pengpeng.

"Ahh

A miserable howl echoed through the old house, disturbing the birds resting in the plane trees in the courtyard, and in an instant, the birds and beasts scattered, and everything fell silent.

----

"Have you had breakfast?"

Yao Zhixia was standing on the balcony reading in the morning, but her mobile phone rang suddenly, she picked up the mobile phone and saw that it was Xue Rin's message.

She thought that Xue Rin, who stayed up late last night to write documents, would sleep until three o'clock in the morning today, so she never contacted him, but she didn't expect that it was only eight o'clock, and he got up.

"Not yet, why did you get up so early? don't you sleep for a while?" Yao Zhixia closed the book in his hand and typed intently.

Just as she was about to ask Xue Rin what she wanted to eat for breakfast, Yao Zhixia was startled by the sudden knock on the door, and she walked to the door vigilantly and asked, "Who?"

There was no response outside the door, Yao Zhixia felt a little scared, because she was the only one in the family at this time, and Piaopiao had already gone out to work in the bubble tea shop early in order to earn more money.

She quietly put her face on the door and quickly messaged Xue Rin on her mobile phone, "There is someone outside my door, come quickly." ”

Yao Zhixia listened to the movement in the corridor outside with bated breath while staring at the mobile phone screen, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see another word coming from there.

She nervously searched around for something to defend herself on, and finally found a dusted tennis racket on the side of the shoe cabinet.

Feeling that there was no movement outside the door, Yao Zhixia slowly opened the door a small crack, she looked out vigilantly along the crack in the door, and found that there was no one at the door and stairs as far as her eye could see.

But as soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, the door was suddenly pulled open forcefully, and Yao Zhixia immediately raised her tennis racket and smashed it hard at the figure that flashed out from behind the door.

----

Yao Zhixia took out two small porcelain bowls, divided the hot purple rice porridge into the bowls, and took some of her own pickled kimchi from the innermost small jar in the refrigerator and put them in the small plates.

After arranging the food on the coffee table, she sat down carefully on the side of the sofa with a guilty expression on her face.

Xue Rin tilted his head, held the towel wrapped in ice cubes in his hand, and pressed it motionlessly on his forehead.

"Your ice cubes were specially prepared for me, right?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he pulled his forehead and had a pain, and he couldn't help but let out a "hiss" sound from his mouth.

Seeing this, Yao Zhixia immediately reached out and wanted to grab the towel in Xue Rin's hand, but Xue Rin flexibly avoided it.

"You eat yours, and if you don't eat it, you won't even have any residual warmth left. ”

Xue Rin pointed to the large pile of breakfast he had specially bought before he came, and urged Yao Zhixia to eat it quickly.

"Xue Rin, I'm really sorry, I've always caused you trouble. Seeing Xue Rin's embarrassed appearance, Yao Zhixia felt very guilty.

"You can get it, I can learn a lesson this time, next time I won't have any surprises for a loving breakfast, just drag you home." Xue Rin said as he picked up an egg from the take-out box and handed it to Yao Zhixia.

"To compensate me, you peel me. ”

Yao Zhixia took the egg with a smile, and asked Xue Rin while peeling the skin, "What else do you want to eat?"

Xue Rin swept the table and said like an emperor: "Well, you are sensible Xiaoyaozi, I want to eat a mouthful of steamed dumplings first, and then drink a mouthful of purple rice porridge." ”

Hearing Xue Rin's words, Yao Zhixia smiled and replied, "The little one obeys." ”

After that, Yao Zhixia picked up a steamed dumpling with chopsticks in one hand and handed it to Xue Rin's mouth, and with the other hand, he hung under the steamed dumpling with his palm upward, for fear that the oil would drip onto Xue Rin's clothes.

But Xue Rin didn't open his mouth for a long time, he looked at Yao Zhixia, his eyes flashed with tenderness that he had never had for others, and after a while, he raised his hand to hold Yao Zhixia's hand hanging in the air and pulled it to his chest.

"Yao Zhixia, let's live together!"

----

The morning of the weekend is the time when the traffic begins to be dense, and young people come out to party and eat, but Xue Rin, who is sitting in the car, is not happy at all.

Not only because he still had a project plan to draft today, but also because the "project plan" he submitted to Yao Zhixia in the morning was rejected by her, and as for the reasons, in Xue Rin's eyes, they can all be classified as "neither sufficient nor necessary" reasons.

Liu Piaopiao needs someone to accompany him, he is used to living with Liu Piaopiao, for fear of disturbing his rest, these bad reasons can only mean one thing in Xue Rin's eyes, Yao Zhixia doesn't love him enough, he hasn't completely conquered her heart, as soon as he thinks of this, Xue Rin is so bored.

Yao Zhixia, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was also in a very low mood, and the words that Xue Rin blurted out this morning kept echoing in her mind, in fact, when she heard the word "we", a corner of her heart that had been frozen for many years was melted in an instant.

For more than ten years, she never expected that there would be a "he" into her life, let alone that there would be a "he" who didn't care about her past and identity who was willing to hold her hand.

But now, she is still the Yao Zhixia who is trying her best to survive, and Xue Rin is still the pride of the sky who does not need to worry about tomorrow, although she decided to follow her heart and try to love Xue Rin, but after all, she is just an ordinary person, an ordinary woman who has been tightly bound by secular prejudice for more than ten years.

Every time she goes out with Xue Rin, she will still have low self-esteem, she will still be timid, and she will still worry that others will laugh at her standing next to him, and the reason why she will not dare to accept the proposal to live with Xue Rin is because she still has no confidence in herself in her bones.

But the common problem between lovers seems to be like this, the words that hurt each other can be shouted out in front of each other uncontrollably, but the true words of loving each other are hidden and dare not confide half a word, Yao Zhixia is no exception.

The two people in the car were silent for a long time, until a sudden sudden brake, Yao Zhixia, who was turning her head to look out of the window, turned her head in horror to check whether Xue Rin beside her was okay, but unexpectedly saw Xue Rin's arm straddling in front of her.

"Are you alright?"

"Are you alright?"

The two of them asked each other in a panic at the same time, and settled down after finding that everything was okay with the other party.

And the culprit just now, a delivery motorcycle that ran a red light, has long since left.

Xue Rin sighed, but didn't say anything, and restarted the car.

----

Xue Rin will take Yao Zhixia out today, in order to take her to a newly opened café for a date.

The reason why he knew about this café was recommended by Secretary Liu in the office, when he got off work on Friday, Secretary Liu was just about to leave, but suddenly accosted him, "I heard that The Mall has recently opened a new coffee shop, the environment is very good, and the desserts are also very exquisite......

When Xue Rin heard the word "dessert", he immediately asked, "Yes, it seems that I have time to try it." ”

Secretary Liu immediately smiled when he heard this, "Are you free tonight......?"

"I'm not available tonight, I have a project plan to revise, but I have time to ...... tomorrow weekend."

"That's great! Then we can go to that coffee shop tomorrow and try his desserts, we'll ......."

"It just so happens that my girlfriend is on vacation tomorrow, you can take her to try it, Secretary Liu, thank you so much, you gave me such a good suggestion, I will take out lunch on Monday." Xue Rin politely finished speaking, then lowered his head and continued typing.

The smile on Secretary Liu's face was like a flower bone smashed by hail, and before it could bloom, it lost its color, and she pulled the chain of her brand-name bag angrily, turned around and walked out of the office.

After a while, Xue Rin raised his head and said to himself, "I haven't bought hawthorn cheese for a long time, and I have to go there before I go home tonight." ”

However, when it comes to dating, it's actually just a matter of overtime and study, but in Xue Rin's opinion, it's worth it to let Yao Zhixia, who has never had the opportunity to enjoy life, relax.

When Yao Zhixia followed Xue Rin to the front of the café, she involuntarily slowed down, and through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, she silently observed the various people sitting inside.

A few people were sitting around the table discussing things enthusiastically, looking at the excitement and seriousness in their hands and eyes in the air, a strong desire erupted in Yao Zhixia's heart.

Two women who looked about her age sat opposite each other, they were wearing delicate makeup, with bright smiles in the corners of their eyes, the girls' straight backs and hair-stirring movements made Yao Zhixia unable to take her eyes off, and the confidence that flowed from her bones was like an invisible bullet hitting her heart.

"What's wrong?"

Yao Zhixia came back to her senses and saw that Xue Rin was holding the door with her hand, staring at her suspiciously, she withdrew her gaze, a lonely smile on the corner of her mouth, and followed.

"You wait for me here, I'll go buy coffee. ”

Xue Rin found two comfortable sofa seats in the corner, he put the computer backpack on the seat, wiped it on the top of Yao Zhixia's head and left.

Yao Zhixia looked curiously at the decoration and design of the café, everything here was so interesting and fresh in her eyes.

At this moment, the figure of a woman appeared in her sight, and the woman walked towards Yao Zhixia while making a phone call.

"Mom, how many times have we talked before, can you stop urging me to get married and have children! This is my life, whether to fall in love or not, to get married or not, to have children or not, it is up to me to decide, I don't want to quarrel with you on this meaningless issue anymore, I have to work overtime, hang up first." ”

The woman hung up the phone, sighed helplessly, and casually put her backpack on the table next to Yao Zhixia.

Yao Zhixia put the book she was going to read on the table, while secretly looking at the woman, and since she hung up the phone, she has been holding the phone tightly and looking down to think about something.

The sensitive Yao Zhixia caught a little sadness and loneliness in her eyes, presumably it was the feelings she had experienced that made her unforgettable, so she would escape like this.

"What are you thinking? What's going on with you today, you're not paying attention at all on a date with me!"

Xue Rin, who suddenly appeared behind him, startled Yao Zhixia, who was secretly looking at others.

"No, nothing, how can I not be attentive. Yao Zhixia hurriedly opened the book and rummaged through the pencil case.

Xue Rin squinted, disdainful of exposing Yao Zhixia's lie that she had never been perfect, but enjoyed watching her panic.

"You've been secretly staring at that woman just now, what, do you know?" Xue Rin said, sweeping his gaze to the woman next door who hadn't looked closely just now.

"I don't know, it's ......"

Yao Zhixia was halfway through his words but found that Xue Rin's expression was a little strange, he frowned slightly, and was looking at the woman carefully.

"Do you know her?"

"Seeing that she is familiar, it seems that she is the operation director of Dahua who came to the company for a meeting last time, and she only remembers her surname You, but she can't remember her name, and she has very few words. Xue Rin touched his chin and recalled.

"Oh, that's right. ”

The two were thinking about each other, but Xue Rin's phone rang suddenly, and he picked up the phone and said, "Mr. Yue." ”

"Xue Rin, I have seen the project plan you sent me last night, no problem, you can send it to Dahua on Monday, and I will explain the specific implementation details at our regular meeting on Monday. ”

Yue Qun is like a machine running 24 hours a day, and in his heart, it seems that there is never a weekend.

"Okay, I know Mr. Yue. ”

"Listen to the voice, are you outside? You kid brought his girlfriend out to play again?" Yue Qun quipped.

For this young man in his early twenties, sometimes he is really envious, envious of his enthusiasm and persistence in life and love, which he once had but has long been consumed by life.

I just took my girlfriend to the newly opened café on the first floor of The Mall to try his desserts and coffee, I brought my computer, and I will continue to work overtime for a while, you can rest assured, although I didn't go to the office to work overtime with you, but the spirit of overtime will never fail. ”

While Xue Rin was talking on the phone, he habitually grabbed Yao Zhixia's hand and played with it.

Yao Zhixia, who had never dared to behave too closely with Xue Rin in public, shyly put his other hand in front of his forehead, and secretly tried to escape from his clutches.

"Hey, don't be nervous, I never ask my subordinates to work overtime on weekends, if this rumor spreads, I'm afraid I won't be able to take off my hat as an 'overtime maniac'. ”

"Mr. Yue, haven't you considered changing places to work overtime on weekends? This coffee shop has a good environment, and that Dahua Director You is working overtime here, just next to me, it seems that this place is quite popular." ”

When Yue Qun heard the words "Director You", he felt a little strange in his heart, he still can't forget the way the other party stood in front of the vegetable stall and picked radishes that day, and he didn't know what the reason was.

"Mr. Yue?"

"Well, I know, don't talk about it, you can accompany your girlfriend well. ”

Hanging up the phone, Yue Qun took off his glasses and stood up, he walked to the office window with a water glass, and looked out at The Mall not far away, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The glass of water in his hand, from beginning to end, did not move a sip.
