Listening to Gu Nian's words with a faint light, Xiang Zhuoyan's face always had an expression that was not mixed with a trace of annoyance. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, thinking of the-for-tat confrontation that Xia Wenting pointed at Gu Nian in "Yin Lane Restaurant" just now, Xiang Zhuoyan couldn't help but feel a faint worry for Gu Nian because of his impulsive behavior.

After all, it was because of the incident on the night of the birthday banquet that he and Xia Wenting further intensified the grudges that had accumulated over the years.

But if Gu Nian and Qin Lang are really the couple he imagined, then for Xia Wenting, her attitude just now is to clearly push Gu Nian to the other extreme.

For a while, I felt that it was really "not that enemies don't get together", and Xiang Zhuoyan couldn't have imagined:

He asked Gu Nian to come out this time just to make sure how Gu Nian's current physical condition was recovering on the night after he left.

Who knew that she chose a restaurant that was very close to the company and Gu Nian, and even involved her in the whirlpool of the chaotic cold war between their sister and brother for no reason.

In any case, it was the fault of his own oolong, looking at Gu Nian who knew nothing on the other side, Xiang Zhuoyan only felt that he owed her another protection for her.

***

After having lunch with Gu Nian in Joy City, Xiang Zhuoyan sent Gu Nian back to Cheetah International by the way.

I didn't go to work in the morning, and to put it bluntly, it was all because of Xia Wenting's lukewarm attitude towards him in the past few days.

It's like that autumn many years ago, no matter how eager she was to return home to fight side by side with her, she could only exchange for Xia Wenting's cold face and ruthless basins of cold water.

People's hearts are flesh and blood, but in Xia Wenting's eyes, only a heart made of stone can help him go further.

Over time, the relationship between the two siblings became more and more indifferent. It's like the kind of indifference that strangers you meet on the street have to be afraid of, and it makes people feel chilling all the time.

I don't know what kind of iron fist Xia Wenting used, since the accident at home, Xiang Zhuoyan has been restricted from freely entering and leaving the country.

Although five years later, Xiang Zhuoyan successfully completed his studies in the UK and regained the right to return to his home where he had lived for more than 20 years.

But some things are like yellowed photos with the passage of time, and although they exist, they have long lost their original taste.

All the way back to Xia Feng Investment from Cheetah International, Xiang Zhuoyan had just pushed open the door of the manager's office and saw Xia Wenting sitting in front of him.

The woman in the boss's chair had fierce eyebrows, if it weren't for the fact that the blood relationship between the two was clearly written in the household register, even most of the employees in the company couldn't believe that the two were "difficult sisters and brothers" living under the same roof.

"Shouldn't you explain to me what happened at noon today?"

The light light in her eyes slowly lifted, and Xia Wenting's expressionless face had a look of displeasure that made it easy to catch.

Pacing calmly to the sofa on the side and sitting down, since Xia Wenting wanted to talk about the noon matter, Xiang Zhuoyan simply decided to accompany her to the end.

So the corners of his lips curled up faintly, and Xiang Zhuoyan only said lazily and clearly: "Have a meal with friends, are you satisfied with this explanation?"

Regarding Xia Wenting's constant questioning, Xiang Zhuoyan has always replaced forbearance with quietness.

Although I still think of the good memories I grew up with since I was a child, I can't help but want to care about Xia Wenting.

But after being rejected by Xia Wenting again and again, he gradually learned how to keep a distance from injury.

It's just that the blood is thicker than the water.

It's as if what is sown in people's first memories is what is reaped.

So even in the face of more injuries from Xia Wenting, Xiang Zhuoyan still left a delicate softness for her in his heart.

Otherwise, Xiang Zhuoyan would not have deliberately rushed back with an early flight after the F-One schedule, and was so extravagant that he wanted to celebrate his 23rd birthday with Xia Wenting.

When Xia Wenting was unconscious because she was drunk, she secretly went to the kitchen to make sobering tea and sent it to her bedside in person.

Not to mention that he felt sad about Xia Wenting's indifferent and cold attitude in his heart, but he always had a smile on his face.

In Xia Wenting's five years of isolation from herself, Xiang Zhuoyan has learned to hide her concern behind indifference.

But slowly, the two of them were so far away that even a chance to speak well became Xiao Xiang.

Regarding Xiang Zhuoyan's use of the word "friend" to describe Gu Nian, Xia Wenting clearly felt very unacceptable.

So slowly getting up from the seat, Xia Wenting walked up to Xiang Zhuoyan domineeringly, and asked him coldly:

"Friend? For the sake of friends, you, the eldest young master who has no intention of family affairs, will go to be in charge of the public welfare activities of "Winter Warmth"? For the sake of friends, will you personally send Gu Nian to visit the "Children of Peace" welfare home? For the sake of friends, will you deliberately dye your white hair black?"

I will, the bracelet that was originally given to me, generously give it to her......

I don't know where I got such a big anger, as long as I think of Xiang Zhuoyan as my biological brother, I care more about Gu Nian than about myself.

The unwillingness and resentment in my heart are like a volcano that suddenly bursts and erupts, and there is no way to rest in peace.

However, after listening to Xia Wenting's rhetorical question, Xiang Zhuoyan only smiled faintly.

The long legs moved and stood up, and Xiang Zhuoyan suddenly turned his head to look at Xia Wenting and said, "Yes, what you said is right, she really doesn't look like an ordinary friend." ”

There was not a trace of flaw in his calm and clear eyes, Xiang Zhuoyan only stood in place and looked into Xia Wenting's eyes, but what he always thought of in his heart was all kinds of Gu Nian:

Because of a quarrel with Xia Wenting, I found a friend and went to "Storm Crossing" for dinner, and heard Gu Nian sing "Little Lucky" that weekend;

At the end of the race, I rushed back with joy and bumped into the moment when I was waiting for the plane;

At the event site of the "Winter Warmth" spicy wing competition, Gu Nian brought him the love that did not admit defeat;

On the F-One track, in order to channel the sorrow in his heart, after recklessly accompanying him to make a bet, Gu Nian's pale little face;

was "detained" by the police because of speeding without a license, and Gu Nian rushed to his aid as soon as possible, regardless of anything;

In "Slow Time", I enjoyed the warmth of family when I spoke freely with Gu Nian;

For a while, all the warm pictures seemed to fill the sweetness of the hollow in the heart, wandering like water.

All these concerns that can't be obtained from Xia Wenting have to make Xiang Zhuoyan coldly leave a sentence that will never enter Xia Wenting's ears:

"Yes, she's not just a friend. But it's not a relative, it's better than a relative. ”
