The warm yellow firelight illuminates the kitchen, and a dark shadow hits the wall, swaying from time to time. An extremely faint smell of burning came from inside, and Xiang Nuan Yang came to the door suspiciously, and heard a low cry inside.

"What's wrong?" he walked in, his phone flashlight shining on the stove.

Qi Xiaoran heard his voice, turned around at a loss, pinched the earlobes with the fingers of both hands, and whispered: "The batter is over." ”

For the first time in her life, she cooked noodles in the dark, and she cooked them for the male god in her heart, she was too nervous, and her highly tense nerves made her brain collapse for a while, and when she came back to her senses, the noodles had already stuck to the bottom of the pot.

"It's my first time cooking paste, and I've never missed it before. She looked nervously and carefully at the man with the light on his back, fearing that her impression of him would plummet as a result.

Xiang Nuanyang glanced at the stove that had been turned off, because of the light, he couldn't see the situation in the pot clearly, but Qi Xiaoran was at a loss, adding a few touches of color to the not bright kitchen, evoking a very faint smile, and reaching out to pull her out.

"Mr. Xiang......" She sat upright on the sofa, her hands folded on her laps.

"You have frequent power outages here?"

"Well, it's a lot, but it's going to be back up soon. The building she lives in and the buildings next to it are all old buildings, which have been renovated a few years ago and re-leased and sold.

"There used to be a temporary backup generator in this community, but after changing property companies, it was not used much. ”

She had planned to contact the property, but she hadn't had time to save the property's phone number in her new mobile phone communication channel.

Xiang Nuanyang frowned in the dimness and tilted his head, "Usually the power goes out, how do you go out?"

"Take the stairs. ”

"The sixteenth floor just walked up like this?"

Qi Xiaoran nodded, tilted his head to meet his gaze, and smiled faintly, "It's just a workout, but when it rains, it's a little scary." ”

Xiang Nuanyang bowed his head and muttered for a moment, "Then let's go down." ”

"But you ......"

"Use this. Raise your hand and shake it twice, and the light projected by the phone will shake with it.

Qi Xiaoran didn't say anything anymore, took the key and walked out with him, and as soon as he opened the security door, the sensor light in the corridor suddenly turned on.

The two were stunned for a moment, looked at each other and smiled. After the elevator resumed normal operation, they took the elevator downstairs, and happened to meet Chen Fangning, who had not been seen for a long time, outside the door downstairs.

"Yo, where are you going?" Chen Fangning saw the two of them coming out of the gate side by side, approaching with a smile and teasingly, shrugging and raising her eyebrows, "Did I miss any good news?"

"Fang Ning, don't joke. Qi Xiaoran glanced at her with disgust, stepped forward and tugged at her arm, "Where have you been lately?"

"I ...... I'm just going to catch up with my friends. Chen Fangning's eyes flickered, her expression scratched her ears uncomfortably, her eyes glanced at Xiang Nuanyang, who had a cold face, and said with a smile: "Hehe, cousin." ”

"Hmm. Xiang Nuanyang glanced at her lightly, noticed the abrasion on her right wrist with sharp eyes, and frowned, "What's the matter with your hand?"

When Chen Fangning heard this, he immediately hid his hand behind him, "Oh, I fell and rubbed a little on the floor." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Eat. He glanced behind his side, his hands folded behind his back.

Qi Xiaoran suspiciously glanced at Chen Fangning's hand hidden behind her, and found that she was not in the right state, and because the current scene was not suitable for detailed discussion, she had to give up.

"Fang Ning, why don't you come along?"

"What am I going to do? Do I want to be a light bulb for you?"

Hearing this, she gently pinched the hand holding Chen Fangning's arm, lowered her volume, and said, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Chen Fangning took a quick look at her and Xiang Nuanyang's bodies, leaned close to Qi Xiaoran's ear, and whispered, "What the hell is going on with the two of you?"

"Not what you think it is, anyway. ”

"Is there any progress on that?"

Qi Xiaoran pursed her lips, shook her head, and let go.

Chen Fangning thought for a moment, walked quickly in front of the two, raised his hands, and shouted into the air, "Hurry up, I'm going to eat Hyatt's Western-style buffet!"

This dinner was a lot more lively because of Chen Fangning's joining, but Qi Xiaoran couldn't help but feel worried when she saw her overeating and drinking a lot of wine during the period.

"Xiao Ran, why don't we go to the bar now?" Chen Fangning lay on Qi Xiao Ran's shoulder, burping from time to time.

"What are you doing at the bar? Fang Ning, are you drunk?"

She pouted, shook her head and said, "I eat so well, go to the bar to dance, I can eat!"

Qi Xiaoran looked at the people at the table next to him in embarrassment, apologized to them apologetically, and when he saw Xiang Nuanyang who came back from the checkout, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at him expectantly, "Mr. Xiang, Fang Ning ...... her"

Xiang Nuanyang walked slowly, those bright eyes full of expectation and tenderness, coupled with her delicate voice, made him have the illusion that she was coquettish to herself, he almost imperceptibly pulled the corners of his mouth, cleared his throat, and said, "I'll help her, you take the good things." ”

"Uh-huh, okay. Qi Xiaoran nodded again and again, raised his hand and took off Chen Fangning's arm hanging on his shoulder, just broke off one hand, and the other hand climbed up again.

"Hmm...... Xiao Ran, don't move, I'm dizzy....."

Xiang Nuanyang couldn't stand it, and bent down to pull her away from Chen Fangning's armpits, but who knew that she was like an octopus and clinged to Qi Xiaoran, and even took Qi Xiaoran to be dragged and shook unsteadily.

"Forget it, or I'll help her out. Qi Xiaoran was dragged uncomfortably, biting her lip and raising her eyes to look at him.

He lowered his eyes and looked at it intently, then withdrew his hand, "Okay." ”

Qi Xiaoran handed him Chen Fangning's backpack and his key, and stood up on the dining table, but because the drunk person shook restlessly, her body was extremely unstable, and she was about to fall to the side before she could stand still.

Xiang Nuanyang took advantage of the inertia to pull Chen Fangning's arm away from her, and reached out to support Qi Xiaoran.

And Chen Fangning directly tilted his body and fell to the ground.

After Qi Xiaoran stood firm, he let go of his hand, stepped forward to help Chen Fangning up, walked towards the door of the restaurant with an indifferent expression, and when he passed her, he handed over the backpack and key that she had given him, "Let's go." ”

Qi Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed after taking the things.

"Mr. Xiang, I'm really bothering you today. She sat in the back seat, one hand holding Chen Fangning, who was lying on her shoulder and sliding down from time to time.

Looking back at Nuanyang, the afterglow fell on Qi Xiaoran's blushing face, "It's not troublesome." ”

"Fang Ning is not usually like this. ”

"It has nothing to do with me. ”

Qi Xiaoran was slightly stunned, his eyes glanced out of the car window, there were only a few pedestrians on the sidewalk at night, and he recalled everything that happened today in his mind, and felt that everything today was terrible.

Bad time always flies so long, she obviously wants to leave a good impression on Xiang Nuanyang, but she is frequently embarrassed, maybe she is destined to only look up to him from afar, once she gets closer, it seems that everything will lose gravity and lose control.

A certain inferiority complex hit her heart, and her chest was stuffy, making her sigh involuntarily.

Although her sigh was as thin as a mosquito's groan, Xiang Nuanyang still noticed that as soon as they arrived under the Dongjiang Bridge, he suddenly hit the steering wheel, stepped on the brakes at a temporary parking spot, put his right hand on the back of the seat, turned half of his body, and called softly: "Qi Xiaoran." ”

Qi Xiaoran was in a depressed mood, and when she heard his call, she just raised her head slowly, her melancholy look had not faded from her face, and there was helplessness and helplessness in her sparkling eyes, making her whole person look pitiful.

"Do you want to get out of the car and take a walk?"

Her dark eyes shone strangely, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked with a charming smile she had never seen before, and she felt her heart beat more violently and forcefully than ever before.

Xiang Nuanyang waited quietly, without waiting for her answer, the lights in the car were not bright, and she lowered her head, and she couldn't see what kind of expression her face was on at this time, he turned his head helplessly, "Don't you go?"

“...... What about Fang Ning?"

After a moment, Qi Xiaoran slowly raised her head, and then glanced sideways at the person who was still asleep on her shoulder.

Xiang Nuanyang glanced at Chen Fangning, and saw that a trace of transparent liquid was left on the side of her slightly open mouth, which dripped onto the white shirt on Qi Xiaoran's shoulder, and frowned unhappily, "Throw her in the car, leave her alone." ”

"How can that be done?" Qi Xiaoran didn't want to argue, and didn't notice his stiff and condensed tone for a while, and then realized that he was arguing too quickly, so he said softly: "It's not safe to leave Fang Ning here alone." ”

"And ......" she tilted her head slightly, paused for half a second, and said, "You are also tired from the day today, you should have rested early." ”

"If you really want to go for a walk, can I accompany you another day?"

As soon as the words came out, she thought about it instead, and if she said "another day", it seemed to be far away, so she quickly changed her words and said, "Or tomorrow, are you free tomorrow?"

Xiang Nuanyang saw her troubled appearance, and suddenly felt that she couldn't cry or laugh, only to see that she was in a bad mood, so she temporarily decided to take her to the riverside for a walk and relax, but she refused herself without thinking about it.

If she refused, she asked seriously if she could take a walk with him another day, is this a rake?

He raised his hand to his forehead with a smirk.

"Mr. Xiang?" Qi Xiaoran tilted his head and looked over, "If you don't have time tomorrow, you can do it the day after tomorrow." ”

Xiang Nuanyang withdrew the hand on the back of the seat, straightened his body, and said lightly, "Tomorrow's business, tomorrow's talk." ”

Qi Xiaoran blinked her eyes and thought secretly: Is this a refusal? So what should I do? Do you want to ask him out for a different reason?

She quietly glanced at Chen Fangning, her cherry lips pursed slightly, and the only "military advisor" who could guide her was drunk at this time.

Before she could come up with a reason to continue the invitation, she heard Xiang Nuanyang's low and cool voice coming from the front: "Get the mobile phone card done tomorrow, and I'll look for you when I'm done." ”
