When he saw the man's face clearly, Zhong Yi instinctively blurted out, "It's you—"

At the same time, the other party's clothes scraped a flower branch and brought down a glass vase.

The glass ballast shattered to the ground, but the other party's reaction was very blank, and it took a while to realize what had happened.

Zhong Yi keenly sensed that something was wrong, so he didn't squeak.

And the man only frowned, paused, and tried to bend down.

There was also a small cubicle behind him, and the young woman ran out when she heard the sound, grabbed his arm, and said hurriedly: "Brother Chen, stand still, I'll come." ”

He retracted his movements and said lightly, "Thank you, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

After he said this, he turned his head in the direction of Zhong Yi and asked, "This young lady, do you want to buy flowers or drink something?" ”

Zhong Yi guessed that he didn't recognize himself, so he saved a little embarrassment, and let out a sigh of relief.

And at this time, the three roommates who were supposed to come in with her were late.

Duan Xiaolu walked first, pushed the door and saw that she was still at the door, and asked puzzledly: "Zhong Xiaoyi, why don't you go over and sit first?" ”

"Oh, something." Zhong Yi looked at them and asked, "What about you, why did you come here?" ”

"I'm going to buy a cake, your favorite one." Sister Bao is still loud.

Duan Xiaolu saw Xia Linchen standing there and said hello: "Boss, hello." ”

Xia Linchen curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a shallow smile: "Hello." ”

At this time, Wen Luo cleaned up the mess on the ground, walked over and asked, "What do you want to drink?" I'll do it. ”

"I want milk tea!" Sister Bao jumped up first.

Each of them ordered something different, and Wen Luo responded one by one and beckoned them to sit by the window.

Zhongyi walked at the end, feeling something gently tug at her trouser leg. She looked down and saw that it was a cat with a silver tabby pattern.

A man and a cat looked at each other quietly for a few seconds, and wanted to squat down and touch it, but who knew that it suddenly screamed.

Zhongyi was almost scratched by it, and the cat that was not easy to get along with even threw a demonstrative look at her.

Xia Linchen scolded lightly: "Orange peel, come here." ”

Orange Peel let go of his favorite trouser leg, turned his head proudly, and walked gracefully towards the source of the sound.

"I'm sorry." Xia Linchen squatted down, groped and touched the back of the orange peel, and gently soothed, "It doesn't like to be touched by strangers." ”

Zhong Yi smiled casually and said, "It's okay." ”

Zhong Yi sat down, and Sister Bao immediately came up and asked, "How is it, is it the best in the world?" ”

Zhong Yi glanced at Xia Linchen, who was sitting there quietly, and nodded.

"It's just a pity that I can't see it." Duan Xiaolu sighed.

"Indeed." Zhong agreed, she didn't discriminate against the visually impaired, but it just happened to him, which made people feel particularly sorry.

Xia Linchen sat at the table, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he could still touch the flower branches that had been trimmed messily by him.

When Wen Luo was delivering a drink, he saw him answer a phone call, and his brows furrowed deeply.

"Okay, I'm in the flower shop, you come pick me up." He replied.

Wen Luo walked back again, saw that his face was not good-looking, and asked, "Something?" ”

"Well, I'll go home, just close the store when you leave."

Xia Linchen walked out of the store early, stood on the side of the road and waited, on such a hot day, he was still fresh and clean in the sun.

It's like a tall tree.

Zhongyi stared at his back through the glass, his fingers unconsciously rubbing against the wall of the cup.

A black car slid in front of him, stopped steadily, and saw Xia Linchen bend down to say something to the people in the cab, and then pull the door and get into the car.

The sedan drove away quietly, and Zhong Yi suddenly remembered that it seemed that he had also been in this car yesterday.

***

Xia Yunshen has always been punctual, picked up the inconvenient brother, and returned to Xia's house together.

When the two brothers of the Xia family walked into the living room one after the other, their common father, Xia Shibang, was sitting on the sofa with a cane on one side.

Xia Linchen sat down opposite him, and after hearing his brother's footsteps gradually disappearing, he spoke slowly and asked, "You called me back to inform me about my engagement to the He family?" ”

"It turns out that you already know, that's just right, take some time this week to meet with the daughter of the He family." Xia Shibang's sideburns were white, but he did not lose his majesty, perhaps it was habit, and his tone of voice was strong and could not be refused.

Xia Linchen was not afraid of him, raised the corner of his mouth, and said calmly: "I won't go." He didn't give any reason, as if what he was doing now was not to do it against his father, but to make small talk.

Xia Shibang's face sank and said, "Reason." ”

"I love life now." "I don't want to change, and there's no need to change." ”

"Your life?" Xia Shibang sneered with mockery, "Is it just to raise a daughter for someone else?" ”

"I'd love to." After Xia Linchen finished speaking, he planned to stand up with the armrests of the sofa.

"I disagree!" Xia Shibang was furious, "Xia Linchen, I sue you, if you don't want to get engaged to this marriage, you have to get engaged to me!" ”

The Xia family is also a wealthy family, but in such a special situation as Xia Linchen, no daughter wants to marry in. Finally, there is a daughter of the He family who does not dislike it, and she can't make her regret it. As for Xia Linchen's personal wishes, they were not within his consideration.

"Daddy." Xia Linchen stood on a high place, but his attitude suddenly became respectful, and he said with a light smile, "I advise you to explain things clearly to the He family as soon as possible, without the engagement banquet of the male protagonist, both families will be embarrassed." ”

"Get out!" The crutches slammed into the coffee table, shaking people's eardrums.

Behind him was Xia Shibang's angry gasps, Xia Linchen turned a deaf ear and walked straight out.

Xia Shibang is very talented in business, but as Xia Linchen's father, he is a complete failure.

The only truth that Xia Linchen learned from Xia Shibang's father is to be a real man with responsibility.

He took a deep breath, exhaled a cloudy breath, and left this empty, detached home.

***

When Xia Linchen returned to the flower shop, he liked that their bedroom hadn't left yet.

Wen Luo was also taken aback when he saw him, and subconsciously asked, "Aren't you going home?" ”

Orange Peel smelled his master's breath and quickly rushed to his feet, Xia Linchen bent down to pick it up and sat on a chair in front of the flower stand.

Sister Bao was appreciated by a beautiful man, and the foot she wanted to walk was retracted, and she lowered her voice and said to the other three: "Quiet beautiful man." ”

Xia Linchen was really quiet, holding the cat silently, occasionally raising his hand to tease the cat, the flowers behind him were delicate and colorful, which made his eyebrows picturesque.

Zhongyi was also looking at him, her gaze probing, her gaze falling on his.

That's a pair of good-looking eyes, a few points better than ordinary people, even compared to the stars on TV, it's not much better.

But she could also see that these obsidian-like eyes, in addition to the emptiness of the eyes because they were not focused, were not full of emotion, just like the original perfect gem, and now a part of it was missing.

There is a contradiction in his body that is highlighted, I don't know why it attracts her, makes her curious, makes her itch, and unconsciously wants to set aside the things that are covered on it, take a look, take a look.

Sister Bao looked at it for a while, her stomach screamed, and she couldn't hold it anymore.

Male color currently, or not if the abdomen is important.

Zhong Yi and Cai Xiaotan glanced at each other, both smiled and shook their heads, planning to pay the bill and go to dinner.

At this time, Xia Linchen, who had been silent, moved.

In this awkward position of hugging Orange Peel, he touched the dial on his left wrist with his right hand, and then patted Orange Peel on the back and made it jump to the ground.

Then he pulled open the drawer behind him, took out the folded blind cane, and slowly clicked to the ground, exploring the way for him.

Orange Peel meowed, and followed closely at his master's side.

Xia Linchen walked a few steps, suddenly turned his head and smiled at their table, and said, "Thank you for coming, come often in the future." ”

His voice was polite and polite, but there was a hint of detachment.

Zhongyi only felt that his heart was more itchy.
