CHAPTER XVIII

"Here, let me see if the dress I chose is beautiful."

Listening to Ling Zesheng's joking words, Tong Yan was instantly stunned in place.

After a few seconds, she finally blinked blankly, lowered her head and looked at the small dress with a blue V-neck lace backless back that she was wearing, and then a few big words flashed in her mind: This is Ling Zesheng's choice!

I couldn't tell what I was feeling for a while, Tong Yan walked two steps into the living room with stiff steps, looked up at Ling Zesheng who was stretching out and sitting on the sofa, and asked a little stammering: "This, isn't this what Li Jie brought here?" ”

"I asked him to send it to you." Ling Zesheng looked at her disapprerovingly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his tone suddenly became a little emotional: "Time flies so fast, the little girl who followed me back then has become a big beauty." I'm old too, tsk. After saying that, he stood up and walked towards Tong Yan, who was completely frozen.

Tong Yan stood in place, her brain seemed to be knotted, but she saw Ling Zesheng walk up to her, reached out and touched her head, and said to her with a smile on her face: "Okay, go change your clothes." I went to wash my hands and wait for dinner. With that, he turned around and went into the bathroom.

"Oh." Tong Yan was stunned for another two seconds before she agreed, but her voice was diluted by the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

――

A busy day.

It wasn't nearly half past ten until the time of eating, Tong Yan set up the dishes and chopsticks and called Ling Zesheng, who was watching TV, to come over for dinner.

"Okay."

Listening to an idle response from the living room, Tong Yan suddenly felt a little dazed, and suddenly remembered the situation when he was a child at home-

At that time, although there was a cook in the family, my mother still liked to cook for herself.

Especially when my father was at home, my mother was always used to cooking my father's favorite dishes, and only after a table was filled did she laugh and call my father and father to eat. Then I heard my father's lazy but happy response, and then I saw him hurrying to the restaurant, regardless of Tong Yan, who was already waiting next to him, and hugged his mother directly and kissed him.

It was a scene that was deeply ingrained in Tong Yan's heart when he was a child, but later Yan Jingdong moved in with them because of school, and after seeing such a situation once, he lost his temper with his father and said a lot of ugly things. So since then, Tong Yan has never seen his father and mother warm in the restaurant, instead of being dead at the table, and even later, as long as he eats at home, Tong Yan has never spoken at the table.

Oh, thinking about it this way, Tong Yan may have hated Yan Jingdong from that time.

But why do you think of him at such a time?

It's really unlucky.

Tong Yan pursed her lips and looked up, only to find that Ling Zesheng had already pulled the chair behind her and was standing opposite her, holding the back of the chair and looking at her.

"What do you think?" He asked.

Tong Yan suddenly felt a little embarrassed, shook his head lightly and sat down, "It's nothing, I just remembered what happened when I was a child, but the originally warm scene was destroyed by Yan Jingdong." As she spoke, she pursed her lips and smiled, changing the subject, "Try the dishes I cooked, it should look good." ”

Ling Zesheng looked at her with a smile in his eyes, reached out and stuffed a piece of Dongpo meat into his mouth, and nodded slightly while eating: "It looks good, and it tastes good." He took a bite of rice, "I'm really sorry for Yan Jingdong, if I don't invite such a good sister to see me, naturally I won't be able to eat such a delicious dish." ”

Tong Yan knew that Ling Zesheng was comforting her in disguise by saying this, so he sandwiched two pieces of meat in his bowl and said with a smile: "Yes, then you eat more, you will be angry with him." ”

Ling Zesheng was also amused by her, and didn't say anything more after saying "um".

The room was very quiet, except for the occasional soft sound of chopsticks colliding with the dishes, Qi Zijin was bored with her head picking up her food, and occasionally looked up to see Ling Zesheng sitting in front of her, and her mind gradually ran away.

This feeling is so amazing, although there are no words, it always makes Tong Yan's heartbeat a little uncontrollable, after all, for her, being able to sit at the same table and eat with Ling Zesheng after many years is something she never dared to imagine.

At this time, her dream came true, and she was really a little flattered, but under that sweet feeling, a trace of bitterness slowly oozed out.

"Tong Yan." Ling Zesheng suddenly spoke, shaking Tong Yan's mind back, she looked up at him with a blank expression.

"Just now in the venue, I saw you talking to a member of the media, is that your friend?" Ling Zesheng asked.

Tong Yan was stunned, thought about it carefully, and knew that the person he said should be Xu Bolin, and his face suddenly stiffened, "No." It's not a friend, it's just a classmate from college, and I haven't been in touch for a long time. ”

After speaking, Tong Yan shuddered unconsciously, and there was an indescribable nausea in his heart.

Ah~~~ Not to mention classmates, now let her admit that she knows Xu Bolin enough for her to write a letter of repentance, not to mention that they were almost together after graduating from college, and now it feels unbelievable when she recalls it, and it makes her feel like she wants to break a boulder in her chest.

But then again, who was not brain-dead when he was young, and it is reasonable for him to be lame and look at a scumbag, well, Tong Yan can only comfort himself like this now.

"Huh." Tong Yan sneered at himself and swallowed a mouthful of rice.

Ling Zesheng was startled by her sudden sneer, and was stunned for a moment before asking a little tentatively: "What, he has a relationship with you?" ”

The corners of Tong Yan's mouth twitched, not knowing how to answer. She didn't want to share her previous brain-dead experience with him. So he chattered for a long time, but he only stammered out two words: "No, no." ”

"No?" Ling Zesheng raised his eyebrows slightly and shook his head slightly: "I don't believe it." He paused, then took another piece of food and put it in his bowl, "Did he chase you when you were in school, and you met you today?" After speaking, his face instantly changed to a "I understand" expression.

Tong Yan was really speechless, she lowered her head and poked the rice in her bowl, fought for a long time, and finally prepared to tell him the truth: "Brother Zesheng, you really think too much, me and him are just simple classmates, even if there was a chance to develop in the direction of impurity, in the end, he was nipped in the bud in time." As she spoke, she took a deep breath and forced down the nausea that had reached her throat.

"That's right, in the end he dumped me, don't ask me why. Anyway, I really thank his whole family now. Tong Yan finished holding his breath, took the water cup and poured a glass of water.

Now it was Ling Zesheng's turn to be speechless, he looked at Tong Yan quietly for a while, and chuckled: "Idiot."

Tong Yan was stunned, idiot? What the heck? Who does he scold?

As a result, before she could figure it out, Ling Zesheng spoke again.

"Well, don't be upset. This kind of stupidity is why he is sick. Our children's words naturally deserve to be cherished by better people. As he spoke, he reached out and rubbed the top of Tong Yan's head, "Wait until I'm free to introduce you to a good one." ”

I'll introduce you to a good one when I'm free

Until Ling Zesheng left, this sentence had been lingering in Tong Yan's mind.

The moment he closed the door, Tong Yan looked down at the slippers that Ling Zesheng had changed just now, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart. The shoes were bought by Tong Yan after he came for the first time, and they were the same style as the ones she wore on her feet

At the time, she was rejoicing for a while because of this little snickering, but now she feels that it is ridiculous for her to do so.

So I really laughed.

――

Time flickered, and it was the day of the launch conference.

Tong Yan responded to Ling Zesheng's mention before, and did not attend the scene, but hid in the nanny's car and chatted with Xia Qi, who came over as a family member to join in the fun.

"Mowgli." Xia Qi pushed Tong Yan who was crooked in the chair next to him and closed his eyes to recuperate, "How was the battle a few days ago?" ”

Knowing that she wanted to know about the media meeting that day, Tong Yan lifted her eyelids, didn't move, and pretended to be stupid and asked, "What is the battle situation?" ”

"It's a press conference." Xia Qi looked excited, and bumped her arm with his elbow again: "I heard Cheng Yuan say that Ling Zesheng took the time to order a small dress for you that day, is it really fake?" ”

Tong Yan narrowed his eyes and glanced at her, and coldly uttered a monosyllable: "Hmm." ”

"Damn, Tong Yan Wuji, you actually lied to me!" Xia Qi suddenly pulled Tong Yan up from the seat, pointed at her nose and began to crusade, "Didn't you say that you didn't have much to do with Ling Zesheng, then how could he know how big the clothes you were wearing?" ”

“？？？” Tong Yan's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Xia Qi with a confused expression, ""

"Oh, you're going to pretend garlic with me?" Xia Qi saw that it was useless to ask harshly, so he put on a wicked smile, took Tong Yan into his arms, and activated the Huairou policy: "Just tell me, don't worry, I won't sue others." ”

Tong Yan reflexively reached out against her shoulder, twisted and came out of her control, turned her head and glanced at her, but did not make a sound.

Looking at the scenery outside the window calmly, Tong Yan's heart was actually in a mess, she took a few deep breaths quietly, and then began to carefully recall the situation that night, but the result was no different from the previous few days, she still didn't remember anything.

I want to die

Xia Qi looked at Tong Yan and didn't speak for a long time, and slowly put away his smile. After a long pause, she sighed lowly, reached out to Tong Yan's shoulder, and whispered: "Wuji, did you vomit that night?" ”

Tong Yan turned his head to look at her, but still didn't speak.

Xia Qi was a little hairy by her, coughed lightly and withdrew his paws, and said calmly: "Actually, it's nothing to vomit." Of course, this is also the most reasonable explanation for him to know what size of clothes you wear. But" she deliberately dragged out the last note, squinted at Tong Yan, and her tone became much stricter than just now, "But this situation is not good for you~~~"

After speaking, she winked at Tong Yan and asked, "Do you understand what I mean?" ”

Tong Yan was stunned, thought about her words carefully, and finally understood.

So the shy smile on the corner of her mouth slowly cooled down, and finally turned into a sigh of joy.
