Although he had eaten the steak countless times, Xue Rin felt that tonight's piece was particularly tempting, and he couldn't wait to cut a piece and put it in his mouth.

Yao Zhixia looked at Xue Rin expectantly, Xue Rin chewed for a while and closed his eyes, and shook his head slowly.

"Does it taste bad?" Yao Zhixia hurriedly spoke.

Xue Rin opened his eyes, neatly cut a large piece of meat from his steak, and handed it to Yao Zhixia with a fork.

"Ah, open your mouth. ”

Being fed like a child was the first time for Yao Zhixia, she hesitated for a moment, and slowly opened her mouth in embarrassment.

Xue Rin curled the corners of her mouth in satisfaction and shoved the meat into her mouth.

Yao Zhixia chewed a few times, and was wondering what was wrong with this taste, but heard Xue Rin say: "This taste!

Receiving Xue Rin's praise, Yao Zhixia smiled happily, and she immediately opened the conversation.

"When I was in the third grade of primary school, I began to learn to cook, at that time, my mother had to go out to work every day, and came back very late, I cooked the rice first when I came home from school, at that time I was short, and I had to move a small bench under my feet every time to be able to get a rice cooker......

Yao Zhixia said as she spoke, but her smiling eyes were shining, she bit her lip, stopped talking, and then lowered her head and took a bite of the beef, chewing hard.

Yao Zhixia hates herself the most when she cries, as if she should be a child who doesn't cry when she falls, and is silent when she is bullied, she has always looked down on herself who shows her fragile side, because she thinks that she has long lost the capital to ask others for care and protection.

Yao Zhixia's hand holding the table knife trembled uncontrollably, but in the next second, it was wrapped in a warm big hand.

Her reddened eyes met the other pair of resolute eyes, her eyelashes couldn't help but tremble, and her clenched teeth relaxed in an instant.

"Your hands are not suitable for holding knives, and I will do it in the future. ”

Xue Rin spoke gently, and gently pulled out the dinner knife in Yao Zhixia's hand.

Although he was not sure if the person in front of him understood his mind, he was sure in his heart that he would be her shield and her spear in the future, and she just needed to be herself in peace.

Yao Zhixia touched his red nose and laughed, "The knife was confiscated by you, how can I eat meat!"

Xue Rin moved Yao Zhixia's plate in front of him, and shook his head helplessly, "It's the same!"

Seeing Xue Rin cutting the steak seriously, Yao Zhixia swept away the haze just now, remembered the red wine in the glass, she picked up the wine glass and smelled it.

"Can I drink this wine?"

"Drink, a little bit, how much do you drink?"

"I don't know, I haven't drunk much. Yao Zhixia shook his wine glass.

"Then drink a little bit first, eat some meat and drink it later. ”

Xue Rin said and handed a piece of meat to Yao Zhixia, Yao Zhixia, who had no plate, was hesitating how to take it, and was despised by Xue Rin again.

"Either with your hands or with your mouth, those who have experienced strong winds and waves, are not informal. ”

Yao Zhixia was embarrassed to be fed by Xue Rin again, so he reached out to take the meat, Xue Rin sighed, and continued to bow his head to cut the meat.

"Xue Rin, what are you going to do?" Yao Zhixia suddenly remembered the topic of the previous preparation of the meal.

"Oh! Yao Zhixia can take the initiative to care about me, it's really the sun coming out in the west!"

Xue Rin took the opportunity to complain, he was quite dissatisfied with this Yao Zhixia who did not dare to understand and intervene in his private life.

Yao Zhixia felt a little apologetic when she heard this prickly counterattack, and she didn't know how to respond for a while, so she had to be silent.

"Hey, it's to be the assistant to the general manager of the operation department, an ordinary staff. Seeing that the other party was a shrinking turtle again, Xue Rin had no choice but to surrender.

"What kind of company is it?" Yao Zhixia wanted to know what Xue Rin liked.

"Hotel Management, Thousand Directions Group. Xue Rin replied fluently.

"Qianxiang Group? The supermarket chain where I work is owned by Qianxiang, and The Mall is also developed by Qianxiang Group, it seems that this group is involved in a lot of industries and businesses, congratulations to you!

Although Yao Zhixia knew that Xue Rin was from a wealthy family, since he chose to start as an ordinary employee, it showed that he wanted to make a difference, and if he could achieve his wishes, she would also be proud of him.

"Yao Zhixia, are you kidding me?"

Xue Rin frowned and raised his head, but the emotions he wanted to attack were broken after seeing Yao Zhixia's red face and neck.

He glanced quickly at her glass, which was only half left.

"How do you ...... How can you drink so fast!"

"Hurry? I just drank a little bit. Yao Zhixia innocently compared his own wine glass with his hand.

"You're all red and turned into shrimp! don't you feel dizzy?" Xue Rin said, and put the back of his hand on Yao Zhixia's forehead.

"It's not very uncomfortable, it's just very hot. Yao Zhixia thought that the temperature of the air conditioner in the house was set too high.

"Is this wine good?" Xue Rin asked in a low voice.

"It's delicious, not astringent or bitter. Yao Zhixia felt that she was light, but she felt a little comfortable.

"Okay, from now on, you are not allowed to take another sip, and if I find out that you are secretly drinking, I will confiscate the steak. ”

Xue Rin snatched Yao Zhixia's wine glass and put it on his side as he spoke.

"Why are you only allowed to drink it, but I can't drink it? ”

For some reason, Yao Zhixia felt a little lazy in her body, and all the usual caution and caution were completely gone, she supported her face with her hands, and looked at the wine glass that was snatched away by Xue Rin with dissatisfaction.

Looking at Yao Zhixia's flushed face and slightly pursed lips due to dissatisfaction, Xue Rin's throat couldn't help but roll up and down.

He immediately withdrew his gaze and took a long sip of wine with his head held high, but when he put it down, he realized that it was not his own, but the one he had just confiscated.

He pursed his lips and said, "The first is because you drink too badly, and the second is because you are pretending to be stupid with me." ”

"You can say that I drink badly, but you can't say that I am pretending to be stupid with you!" Yao Zhixia straightened up and asked aggrievedly.

"You actually congratulate me on my employment in the Qianxiang Group, isn't this pretending to be stupid? Liu Piaopiao looks like a big mouth and a gossip girl, how could she not tell you?" Xue Rin was a little dissatisfied with Yao Zhixia's insincerity.

"What does this have to do with Piaopiao? What does she know?" Yao Zhixia was puzzled.

"Didn't Gong Yan tell her?" Xue Rin was also a little puzzled.

"Tell her what?" Yao Zhixia came to her senses instantly, and a sense of foreboding rose in her heart.

"Gong Yan is the director of the sales department of The Mall, you know this, right?"

"Yes, so what?"

"I'm a little hair, you know, right?"

"Well, I know, Piao Piao told me when I was in the hospital. ”

"That'...... You know...... What is my relationship with the Qianxiang Group?" Xue Rin felt a little nervous.

"You, and Qianxiang Group?" Yao Zhixia didn't dare to think deeply.

"My father, his name is Xue Huaiyuan, he ......"

He is the co-founder of Qianxiang Group and the current chairman. Yao Zhixia added with a hollow look in his eyes.

This name was repeatedly mentioned by the head of the training department when she was on the job, and it was impossible for her not to know what a meritorious presence this person was for the entire group.

"Hmm. ”

Xue Rin suddenly became very lost, he didn't expect that he would let Yao Zhixia know him further in such a surprise way.

"What about Director Gong?" asked Yao Zhixia nervously.

It's not that she doesn't know Liu Piaopiao's careful thoughts, during her hospitalization, Liu Piaopiao will always mention Gong Yan intentionally or unintentionally, although she may not even be aware of it, but the delicate Yao Zhixia can feel that Liu Piaopiao is definitely more than grateful to Gong Yan.

"His parents are my godfather and godmother, and my godfather is also the co-founder of Qianxiang Group, in charge of the affairs of the shopping mall, but don't worry, Gong Yan I still understand, he has been kind-hearted since he was a child, and he is also an upright person, and he never copied my homework, he is serious about Liu Piaopiao. ”

Xue Rin saw Yao Zhixia's worried expression and knew what she was worried about.

Yao Zhixia nodded, but didn't speak again, and the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Xue Rin was both surprised and aggrieved, he and Yao Zhixia had known each other for so long, she had never taken the initiative to ask him about it, he originally thought that she would behave very well because she knew all this, but now that he learned the truth, he didn't dare to think that they would be able to talk like this in the future.

At this time, Yao Zhixia rewarded herself with a loud slap in her heart, even though she didn't care what kind of eyes others looked at her, but she didn't want others to casually talk about Xue Rin, who wanted to be friends with people like her, at this moment, she made a decision.

----

"This summer, so quickly. ”

Liu Piaopiao was lying on the bed, looking out through the window that had been washed by the rain, and the weather was a little cool after the heavy rain.

The juice bottle that had been drunk was ordered to be placed on the windowsill and became a vase.

"What will he do?"

Liu Piaopiao took her eyes off the withered daisies in the juice bottle, rolled around the bed again, and wrapped herself in a burrito.

When they parted that day, she faintly felt that Gong Yan wanted to say something, she was curious, but she was afraid that he said something but not what she wanted to hear.

But until the end, Gong Yan didn't speak, she had to hold the bouquet of daisies he stuffed to her when he left, and watched his car gradually disappear in the traffic downstairs.

Liu Piaopiao, who was confused, was rolling in the quilt, and suddenly heard the sound of the door lock turning, she immediately got out of the quilt and ran out of bed barefoot.

"Sister Zhixia, you're back!" Liu Piaopiao leaned against the door.

Yao Zhixia's mood was a little light, and she replied softly "um" while changing her shoes.

"You told me three hours ago that you had finished the exam, so where did you go in the three hours?" Liu Piaopiao naturally knew who Yao Zhixia was with, but she was curious about how she and that person were progressing.

"Didn't I tell you before, Xue Rin lives on the other side, and he invited me to his place for a meal. Yao Zhixia's tone was a little cold.

"Then, did he say anything to you?" Liu Piaopiao eagerly wanted to know if Xue Rin, who had bad intentions at first glance, had confessed to Sister Zhixia.

"That's it. Yao Zhixia curled up on the sofa, feeling cold all over.

"Tell me, tell me, if he has some secret secrets!"

Liu Piaopiao immediately came to the momentum, it seems that the summer is gone, but Sister Zhixia's spring is coming.

"Piaopiao, we're all so stupid. Yao Zhixia closed her eyes, regretting her recklessness and couldn't help it.

"Huh?"

"Xue Rin is Xue Huaiyuan's son. Yao Zhixia's tone seemed to announce the end and end of everything.

"Xue Huaiyuan, why is this name so familiar! I think I've heard it somewhere...... Ahh

After a moment of brain downtime, Liu Piaopiao suddenly covered her mouth with her hands excitedly, recalling the scene when she first saw Xue Rin's parents in the search and rescue center, she hit her head a few times in annoyance, obviously she heard others call that Mr. Xue "Huaiyuan", but blamed herself for being anxious and scared at the time, and didn't pay attention at all.

"That, that, that, he told you that?

"Hmm. A tear slipped from the corner of Yao Zhixia's eye.

"Sister Zhixia, don't cry, even if he is Xue Huaiyuan's son, so what? You are also a kind and excellent girl, why can't you ...... What about being friends?"

Liu Piaopiao knows Yao Zhixia's past, including the fact that she was sentenced to prison, although she doesn't mind this at all, but she also knows that this society is cruel, and there is no hiding place in fairy tales, in the final analysis, even she herself does not believe in love beyond the world.

"I only hope that he can be happy, that he will no longer feel helpless and lonely in the future, and that as for me, I should go my own way. ”

Yao Zhixia also said this to herself, she knew very well that if she continued to indulge in this whirlpool that made people lose their minds, in the end, the predictable outcome would only make her and him lose.

"Sister Zhixia, are you willing?" Liu Piaopiao sadly grabbed Yao Zhixia's hand, trying to give her some warmth.

"My life has never given me a choice, let alone reluctance?"

I thought that I had long been accustomed to parting with life and death, but when I thought of separating from Xue Rin's life from now on, Yao Zhixia's iron heart was still stabbed coldly.

----

Xue Rin slumped on the sofa, pouring red wine one after another, just now he was still laughing at Yao Zhixia for drinking without measure, who would have thought that he would also become a senseless practitioner.

"Yao Zhixia, you coward!"

He raised his arms and gestured towards the ceiling, as if the longing face was right in front of him.

"It's me who wants to be with you, it's not my dad who wants to be with you, who is he so important!"

Recalling the appearance of Yao Zhixia running away just now, he couldn't help laughing, whether it was laughing at her or laughing at himself, in short, this encounter and entanglement absurdly made him hopeless.

"I'm still not feeling well! You're not feeling well! I didn't move a bite of the steak I cut for you! My mind has been ruined by you!"

What made Xue Rin angry the most was Yao Zhixia's clumsy reason for running away, he just couldn't understand where her deep inferiority complex came from, she didn't steal or rob, why couldn't she straighten her waist without planting?

Wow......

"Damn!"

The mobile phone under him suddenly rang, and Xue Rin rolled off the sofa with a frightened body, and he climbed onto the sofa with a curse and grabbed the phone.

"What are you doing!" now he is bombed.

Gong Yan on the other end of the phone was taken aback by Xue Rin's reaction, and his tone immediately became cautious, "Ah Rin, it's you Brother Gong Yan." ”

"What's the matter?" Hearing Gong Yan's soft tone, Xue Rin immediately eased up.

"Well, care about you, how are you doing these days? Didn't you say you were going to look for a job, how did it turn out?"

Gong Yan originally wanted to persuade Xue Rin to plan a date of four, so that he and Liu Piaopiao could make some progress, but he didn't expect that the situation on Xue Rin's side seemed to be worse, so he had to appease him first.

"I found a job, but I was very upset about other things. Xue Rin didn't bother to elaborate.

"Which company? What do you do? Then you and Yao Zhixia ......?"

"Stop! you don't have to worry about work, I have my own plans, don't mention Yao Zhixia to me, I will be angry when I mention her, why do you say she is so unlucky!" Xue Rin said, stretching out his index finger and poking the sofa fiercely.

"Don't you want to be angry, you dislike her?"

"It's not that I dislike her, it's that she dislikes me! I admit, I used to be a fucking asshole, but now, I just want to be a good person. Xue Rin picked up the cup aggrievedly and took another big sip of wine.

"Then you go and tell Yao Zhixia to see if she lets you be a good person. Gong Yan held back a smile and forced himself to continue.

"She just didn't plant it! When she was on the island, the act of killing chickens and slaughtering fish was called a neat one! Now that she's good, she's learned to use the social standard to divide her rank. ”

"What are you talking about?level?Why don't I understand?Is this a term you two will use when you are in love?" Gong Yan was confused by Xue Rin's words, but when he heard the tone, he knew that Xue Rin had already drunk high.

"Anyway, in her place, I am not a person of the same level as her, she has to stay away from me, she didn't say it directly, but I know that she means that! Her eyes can't deceive me!" Xue Rin slammed the wine glass on the coffee table after speaking, and wiped his mouth again.

"Hey, what do you say is the fate of our brothers! Other rich second generations are routined by all kinds of girls every day, let's do it well, and we rush to post it every day!"

Gong Yan couldn't help but feel sorry for himself, and began to wonder if he had a tendency to shake M.

"his Yao Zhixia! I won't go to see her! She loves to be lonely and old age! Anyway, I, Xue Rin, announced that I am single today, and the girl who wants to marry me tomorrow will line up outside the gate, and let her regret going when the time comes!" Xue Rin said as he pushed his feet into the sofa fiercely.

"Xue Rin, you really drank too much, I think you are useless today, I will talk to you about the enemy situation another day, you want to surrender, I don't want to, don't do stupid things yourself!"

Gong Yan hung up the phone, and calm returned to the empty room, squinting during the day, he formed himself into a ball at the other end of the sofa, and Ding Man was crowded in front of it, already falling asleep.

Xue Rin squirmed on the sofa and suddenly pounced on Pengpeng, the innocent Pengpeng didn't know what this guy was going to do, so he kept sniffing nervously.

Xue Rin squinted and pulled out one of the hooves hidden in the fur and held it in his arms, while his head rested directly on the buttocks of the fluffy flesh.

He closed his eyes, and after a while, he muttered, "Brother Peng, you are still sensible." ”
