Time passed quickly, and soon it was noon.

After finishing the morning's work, Duan Zilian immediately went upstairs, changed out of her work clothes, went to make lunch, and chatted with Luo Xinyan and Luo Lingling, who had already gotten up, from time to time.

It didn't take long for lunch to be ready, and he went downstairs to call someone, but saw that there were only Xu Ying and Li Nan in the café.

"Huh? What about Aunt Qiao? "I didn't see Qin Qiaoyun, Duan Zilian was a little strange.

"The coffee beans are running out, so the owner went to buy coffee beans, and it is estimated that he will not be back until the afternoon." Li Nan replied while looking at his phone.

"Oh." Duan Zi replied with pity, and looked at Xu Ying with some weakness.

"Xu Ying, lunch is ready, you can come up and eat together."

"Well, I'll go change my clothes." Xu Ying nodded, went to the lounge to change out of her work clothes, and changed into her own clothes.

"Brother Nan, why don't you come up and have lunch together." Seeing that Li Nan was the only one in the store, Duan Zilian asked him to come up for lunch together.

Li Nan shook his head: "No, I still have to look at the store, and besides, I asked Mengmeng and Orange to help me buy food and come back, they went out for lunch, and they are probably coming back soon." ”

"Okay then." Shrugging his shoulders, Duan Zilian didn't force it, went back upstairs, beckoned Luo Xinyan and Luo Lingling to come over for lunch, and took a bowl of rice.

When he finished the meal, Xu Ying had already changed into her own clothes and came upstairs.

Today, she wears an ordinary casual suit, a short sleeve and a pair of trousers, of course, the clothes must be more loose and conservative.

Because Qin Qiaoyun was not there, only Xu Ying came up to eat together.

Eating with Xu Ying, Duan Zilian became even more nervous, and yesterday's events surfaced uncontrollably in his mind, making him very uncomfortable.

Therefore, in the process of eating, Luo Xinyan noticed that something was wrong.

She noticed that Duan Zilian seemed to be a little nervous, just buried her head in the rice, and didn't dare to look at Xu Ying, but she would still sneak and cautiously peek at Xu Ying, but she didn't know if it was because she was weak or something, she would immediately look away in a panic, and after a while, she would peek again.

As for Xu Ying, although she didn't have such a strange reaction as Duan Zilian, she was also a little abnormal, looking at Duan Zilian slyly, especially when she found that Duan Zilian was peeking at herself, her smile became even stronger.

"There's weirdness."

Noticing Duan Zilian and Xu Ying's unusual performance, Luo Xinyan couldn't help muttering.

Thinking of Duan Zilian's strange reaction after she came back, she was sure that when Duan Zilian and Xu Ying went out to play yesterday, something unknown must have happened.

However, because it was none of her business, Luo Xinyan didn't bother to pay attention to so much, and directly ignored their strange behavior and fed Luo Lingling by herself.

In a nervous mood, Duan Zilian quickly finished eating, and then went to sit on the sofa, watching TV, distracting himself, calming himself down, and easing his mood.

When Xu Ying, Luo Xinyan and Luo Lingling finished eating, he went to clean the dishes and chopsticks, clean up the table, and after he was done, he continued to sit on the sofa to rest, and when he saw Luo Xinyan taking Luo Lingling back to the room, he also went back to the room to rest.

It's just that when he entered the room, he found that Xu Ying actually followed.

"Uh...... Is there something wrong? He looked at Xu Ying suspiciously, and his mood became nervous again.

"I'm tired and want to sleep.

Biting her lower lip gently, Xu Ying said to Duan Zilian.

"Huh?" Duan Zi was stunned for a moment.

If you're tired, go to sleep on the sofa in the living room as usual, and come to my room to do something?

However, without waiting for Duan Zilian to ask, Xu Ying crossed Duan Zilian, took two steps forward, turned her back to Duan Zilian, took a deep breath, and then lay on Duan Zilian's bed.

Immediately after, feeling quite hot, she turned on the electric fan placed at the head of the bed, blowing the wind with a pleasant expression.

"Forehead ......" turned around and saw that Xu Ying was already lying on his bed, Duan Zilian couldn't help but think of last night's dream again, and his heart suddenly jumped, and his mood became even more nervous.

At the same time, he was also vigilant, Xu Ying lay directly on his bed, maybe he wanted to do something again.

"It's a little uncomfortable to fall asleep on the sofa, and I'm afraid of falling to the ground when I turn over, so I want to sleep with you, okay?" With a lazy yawn, Xu Ying said to Duan Zilian.

“…… Then you can take a break. Duan Zipian touched his nose, a little overwhelmed, but it was impossible to drive Xu Ying out, right?

So, just in case, he decided to go outside himself and sleep on the couch.

However, Xu Ying lay on the bed, tilted her head to look at Duan Zilian, and then, moved her body inside, gave up a person's seat, reached out and patted the bed, and asked Duan Zilian, "Aren't you coming?" ”

"What did you do in the past?" Duan Zilian became more vigilant.

"Of course you came to sleep, you didn't sleep well last night, and the dark circles under your eyes came out, don't you want to sleep?" Xu Ying said as a matter of course.

"Uh...... You can sleep here, I'll just sleep on the sofa in the living room. "Duan Zilian doesn't want to pass.

Moreover, he made up his mind that Zhong Yi's room next door was still empty, anyway, Zhong Yi was lying in the hospital, and he didn't know when he would wake up, so he simply found a time to clean up and make that room a guest room, so that if Qin Qiaoyun and Xu Ying or others were tired, they could also go to that room to sleep and rest.

Hearing that Duan Zilian was going to sleep on the sofa, Xu Ying rolled her eyes and patted the bed again: "Come here, I won't eat you again." ”

"Uh......" Duan Zilian didn't pass, but thinking of what happened yesterday, thinking about it for a while, and feeling that now is a good opportunity to explain things, so he walked over slowly in a nervous mood.

Seeing Duan Zilian coming over, Xu Ying panicked, her eyes wandered, and her eyes dodged, but soon, she forced herself to calm down.

Walking to the side, Duan Zilian sat on the edge of the bed, feeling like sitting on a needle carpet, looked at Xu Ying nervously for a long time, and said hesitantly: "Xu Ying...... Last night...... That ......"

"Oh, yes, that......"

As if she suddenly remembered, Xu Ying looked at Duan Zilian with a smile: "When we separated last night, you confessed to me, and I haven't agreed yet." ”

"Huh? No, how did it turn out that I confessed to you? Duan Zi looked at Xu Ying in surprise.

"After watching the movie last night, when I was about to separate, you confessed to me and kissed me." After Xu Ying finished whispering, she hugged Duan Zilian's pillow and buried her face in the pillow, as if she was shy.

Listening to Xu Ying's words, and looking at Xu Ying's shy performance, Duan Zilian couldn't help but be in a trance, and for a moment, he really doubted whether he remembered it wrongly, could it be ......

Did you really confess to Xu Ying last night?

The next moment, he reacted and shook his head vigorously, how could this kind of thing be possible

Mistake remembering!

Obviously, Xu Ying is playing tricks on herself!

"Xu Ying, don't be joking, it was you who confessed last night, and you kissed me, that was my first kiss......

Knowing that Xu Ying was playing tricks on herself, Duan Zilian was a little unhappy, but as she spoke, she couldn't help but think of the picture of Xu Ying's "sneak attack" on her last night, and she felt very embarrassed, and her voice became smaller and quieter.

"Last night was my first kiss too...... This is just right, no one loses ......" Knowing that last night was Duan Zilian's first kiss, Xu Ying was ecstatic, glanced at Duan Zilian, and shyly buried her face in the pillow again.

"......" blinked, and Duan Zi thought about it for a while, it seems that this is indeed not a loss.

No, that's not what I'm talking about!

After reacting, Duan Zilian remembered the matter, took a deep breath, and became serious.

"No kidding, Xu Ying, I have something serious to tell you, about last night...... You also know about me, and you should be able to understand my current situation, so ......"

"So, you want to reject me again, don't you?" Putting the pillow away, Xu Ying stopped joking, sat up, with a serious expression, and looked directly at Duan Zilian.

“…… I'm sorry. Not daring to meet Xu Ying's gaze, Duan Zipian couldn't help but bow his head.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Ying bit her lower lip and asked seriously, "Pity, let me ask you, do you like me or not?" You have to answer the question, and, you don't lie, I'm going to listen to you. ”

“…… Like. Nodding, Duan Zilian honestly said his thoughts.

After all, at the age of puberty, he, like many boys, also wants to have a sweet love that makes everyone else just lemon.

And Xu Ying is beautiful, has a good figure, and has a gentle and virtuous personality, which is a very ideal object, generally speaking, no boy will not like such a girl, and Duan Zilian is no exception.

After last night's scrutiny, Duan Zi asked himself in pity, and made sure that he already liked Xu Ying in the accumulated relationship, and it seemed that he still liked it very much, otherwise, he wouldn't have dreamed like that last night.

After listening to Duan Zilian's answer, Xu Ying seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, smiled slightly, and then said: "Since I like you and you like me, then why do you still reject me?" Why can't we socialize? ”

Looking up at Xu Ying, Duan Zi smiled bitterly: "Xu Ying, I really like you and want to date you, but my current situation does not allow me to fall in love or something." ”

"Why? You're going to destroy the Xenobiotes and fight the dark giants, but does that have anything to do with your relationship? Xu Ying bit her lip and asked puzzled.

"If I associate with you, when I go to fight, you will worry about my safety, and if I die on the battlefield, you will still be sad, I don't want you to worry about it."

"Also, if I were to associate with you, the chances of you being in danger would be greatly increased. For example, if you want to blackmail someone, do you want to arrest that person's ordinary friend, or do you want to arrest that person's girlfriend? Out of ten people, it is estimated that eight or nine will choose to catch a girlfriend. ”

"Now, if I have a relationship with you, if one day, that Tao Hongyu wants to blackmail me, he will arrest you and put you in danger, then what should I do?"

"I don't want you to be scared, and I don't want you to be in danger, I want to take your safety into account, so, I'm sorry."

Duan Zilian said the concerns in his heart in one breath.
