Got it...... The life of a man.

Tao Tao really understood the meaning of Xiao Qiong's eyes now.

This...... Was it really the result of his deliberations?

Tao Tao pursed her lips, and then looked at the man on the side who didn't have a very good expression.

"What are you going to do, when are you going to ......?"

"It's past tonight."

Tao Tao nodded, in fact, she also saw the hesitation in Jiang Jinchen's eyes.

Jiang Jinchen actually wanted to give Xiao Qiong a little more time and let him rethink it.

"Then I'll go back first, don't worry, I'll be fine soon."

Jiang Jinchen hugged the girl, and then kissed her lightly on the cheek.

"Well, okay, I trust you."

Tao Tao smiled at the man, signaling him not to worry about himself, the most important thing at the moment is the company's affairs.

Then the two were separated.

Tao Tao walked aimlessly on the road, and at this time, she suddenly saw Xiao Lan who was happily greeting her.

Tao Tao was stunned for a moment, she looked at Xiao Lan's smiling face, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable, as if her heart had been poked hard by something.

"What a coincidence, little peach, where are you going?"

Xiao Lan looked at Tao Tao with a smile, then walked over and grabbed her arm.

Tao Tao forcibly endured his sad expression and smiled at Xiao Lan with a relaxed smile.

"Just take a walk, what about you, senior sister?"

"Me!"

Xiao Lan suddenly became happy when she said this, as if she had just heard some good news.

Tao Tao's heart became more and more uncomfortable......

"My brother just called me and said that we would eat hot pot at home together in the evening."

"You know, this is the first time my brother has offered to eat together."

Xiao Lanxiao's eyes narrowed into a slit, but her smile was like a ...... in Tao Tao's eyes

It's like a mockery.

A good home may be completely destroyed tomorrow, which is too cruel for a girl.

And......

I already knew about it, but I still had to try to control myself and not tell this girl.

Tao Tao almost cried.

"Little Peach, or you can accompany me to the supermarket!"

Xiao Lan's whole person was in excitement, and she didn't notice the abnormal look on Tao Tao's face.

As she spoke, she pulled Tao Tao towards the supermarket not far away, giving the girl no room to refuse.

And so it was...... Tao Tao felt guilty and went to the supermarket with her senior sister.

It's also possible that the two of them ended up together.

All the way, my sister kept talking to her, looking how happy she was.

Tao Tao suddenly remembered, this may be ...... It's the happiest she's ever since she met her senior sister.

"Senpai......"

The two girls carried large bags of things and put them in the trunk, and Tao Tao stopped Xiao Lan the moment she opened the car door.

"Huh? What's wrong little peach. ”

Xiao Lan turned her head and looked at the girl gently.

Tao Tao suddenly couldn't hold back anymore, she pursed her lips and glanced at Xiao Lan deeply.

"I'm sorry."

Then she turned around and ran away without looking back, leaving only Xiao Lan who was standing there with a puzzled expression.

This kid ...... Is something wrong?

Xiao Lan just wanted to catch up worriedly, but she suddenly received a call at this time.

It was Xiao Qiong who called, Xiao Lan hesitated, and finally opened the car door and sat in the car.

"Hello? Brother, what's wrong? ”

"Ask where you've been."

Xiao Lan heard her brother's voice, but she still couldn't help but grin.

"I've finished my shopping and I'm going back soon."

Xiao Qiong nodded after hearing this.

"Okay, I see, be careful on your way."

"Ah, yes."

Xiao Lan suddenly remembered something, and she asked tentatively to the man on the phone.

"You...... Have you ever seen Tao Tao today? ”

"Tao Tao?"

Xiao Qiong raised her eyebrows, hesitated, and finally didn't tell Xiao Lan about it.

"Nope."

"Huh? Didn't you? That's weird......"

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Qiong was a little puzzled, why did Xiao Lan suddenly ask herself this question, was she ...... Got something.

"Ah, that's right, I just met Tao Tao and asked her to accompany me to the supermarket."

……

The man was silent when he heard the consequences, and he covered his eyes helplessly.

How could it be so coincidental, he should have guessed how guilty Tao Tao would be when he faced Xiao Lan, who was very happy.

"But she just said sorry to me and ran away......

Really...... The man sighed softly.

"It's okay, she might be tired, so she'll go first."

"Is that so?"

Xiao Lan expressed deep suspicion, and Xiao Qiong hurriedly said to her when she saw this.

"Come back quickly, let's have dinner together."

Xiao Lan came out of her own world, she answered happily, hung up the phone and started the engine and went home.

When Xiao Lan arrived home, she saw her brother looking at the pot in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"Are you struggling with which pot to use?"

The girl suddenly appeared behind her, but this time she startled Xiao Qiong.

Xiao Lan suddenly felt that he was not frowning because of this incident just now.

"Ah, yes."

Xiao Qiong looked at her sister's suspicious eyes, and quickly adjusted her emotions, and he pulled Xiao Lan in front of him.

"You can use whichever you like."

After the man finished speaking, he went to take out the ingredients in the bag and prepare them.

Xiao Lan looked at her brother's back with some doubts, and always felt that he was weird today.

Soon, the brother and sister opened the pot and waited for the water to boil.

"You seem to be having a good day."

The man raised his eyebrows, looking at the girl who couldn't control herself and curled the corners of her mouth.

"Of course."

Xiao Lan smiled sweetly at her brother.

"Because this is the first time you've offered to ask me out for dinner."

Xiao Qiong suddenly fell silent after hearing her sister's words.

"I'm sorry."

"Huh? Why are you apologizing to me? ”

Xiao Lan couldn't cry or laugh.

"I know you're busy, and I don't blame you."

The girl saw that the water was already boiling, so she carefully put the ingredients into the pot.

Xiao Qiong only found out at this time that what she put in was what he liked to eat.

The man suddenly felt a little unbearable.

"You ......"

Xiao Lan looked at her brother's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and winked at him.

"Are you going to say something? It's okay to say it, what else is there to hesitate with me. ”

The man pursed his lips, thinking in his heart that maybe this was the only thing that would keep it a secret from you.

"It's okay, let's eat first."

Xiao Qiong still didn't organize his language in the end, and he didn't know how to speak.

Possible...... Tao Tao's mood just now was the same as herself.

Then the brother and sister ate it, but Xiao Qiong was still silent, while Xiao Lan happily told her brother about the interesting things that happened around her in the past few days.

She finally found her happiness...... But after tonight, it will be destroyed by his own hands.

Xiao Qiong thought that he would be ruthless, but this time, he looked at his sister's beautiful smile, and finally hesitated.

"Xiaolan."

Xiao Lan heard her brother, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly speak, and she quickly stopped and looked at him expectantly.

"What's wrong, brother?"

"If ......"

The man withdrew his gaze from looking at his sister, and then stared at the balls that Xiao Lan had just clamped for himself on his plate.

"Wouldn't you feel sad if you were the only one left with me?"

Xiao Lan was stunned when she heard it, she didn't expect her brother to suddenly say these words to her.

"I didn't think about it."

I don't know why, she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

"I'm just saying if."

Xiao Qiong saw that his sister deliberately avoided the topic, so he emphasized it again.

"What if......"

Xiao Lan put down her chopsticks and pursed her lips.

"Of course I'll be sad then."

"But...... I should be happy too. ”

This is...... What answer?

Xiao Lan looked at her brother who didn't know what he was thinking about, and smiled at him.

"If it's sad, it's because, after all, it's a relative who is connected to one's flesh and blood, and if you lose it suddenly, of course you will be sad."

"But...... Speaking of having fun. ”

The girl suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Qiong's cold hand on the table.

"I would feel that even if I lost everyone, there was still one of you by my side......"

"I'm going to be very happy."

Xiao Qiong felt the warmth on the back of her hand, and suddenly remembered that girl, and also gave herself strength with the same warm hands.

So, this indifferent man hesitated again.

Then the two of them finished the meal without saying a word.

Xiao Lan went to wash the dishes, she looked at the motionless man sitting on the sofa in the living room, and sighed softly.

So...... What does my brother want to tell him today?

Look at his hesitant look.

The girl decided not to ask, because she knew that her brother was a very assertive person since she was a child, and every decision he made would be verified later.

That's right, as long as it's the decision made by my brother, it's all right.

For so many years, the girl has always believed this.

"It's already cleaned up, brother, go and rest."

Xiao Lan warmed a glass of milk and put it in front of Xiao Qiong.

The man looked up and took a deep look at his sister, the one he loved the most.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Lan was stunned for a moment by her brother's eyes.

"It's okay, you go to sleep."

The girl sighed helplessly, knowing that her brother was about to start working again.

"Don't be too late."

After Xiao Lan finished speaking, she turned around and returned to her room.

"Ah, yes."

The girl was about to close the door when she suddenly said to the man who was watching her quietly.

"Good night, brother."

The man's eyes suddenly overflowed with sadness.

He is really familiar with this sentence, because since he was a child, every time Xiao Lan fell asleep, he would say goodnight to himself.

Every time, every time.

The man knew that her sister was now only herself.

Xiao Qiong couldn't bear it, he still couldn't bear it, and cut off his sister's happiness with his own hands.

"Hello?"

Jiang Jinchen unexpectedly received a call from Xiao Qiong, he looked at the unfamiliar number in his mobile phone, and seemed to have guessed something.

"Your takeout has arrived."

"Good...... I see, I'll let someone pick it up. ”

"Thank you......"

After saying thank you, he hung up.

Jiang Jinchen smiled helplessly, Xiao Qiong, and finally relented.

Before leaving, he told Xiao Qiong that if he regretted it, he would call him and say that the takeaway had arrived.

If he accepts it, it means that it can be revisited.

But if he doesn't accept it, it means that everything is still going according to the original plan.

"Hey......"

Jiang Jinchen held his forehead and looked at the information that Xiao Qiong gave him today.

It seems that no matter what Xiao Qiong has experienced, he is still an ordinary person with flesh and blood and feelings.
