Ten minutes later.
The three sat around the coffee table in Fu Qiran's office and ate.
Xu Yizhang distributed the bought fruit tea to the two of them.
Fu Qiran took a look and raised his eyes, "Did you buy it?"
"En." Xu Yizhang responded, and helped Qin Zhen unpack the sauerkraut fish, then lifted the lid of the lunch box.
Fu Qiran wanted to throw the lid away, but Xu Yizhang stopped him, "Don't throw it, use it to spit out bones."
Fu Qiran looked at Qin Zhen suspiciously, "Isn't this a pangasius?"
Pangasius has no spines.
"Yes." Qin Zhen responded, and then went to look at Xu Yizhang, "Basa fish don't have spines."
Xu Yizhang: "..."
The atmosphere was awkward.
She decided to stop talking and eat seriously.
Fu Qiran flipped through his phone, and began to ask Qin Zhen about his work while eating. Qin Zhen answered tremblingly, and Fu Qiran guided him.
It wasn't an easy meal.
At the end, Fu Qiran turned his head and asked Xu Yizhang, "Are you still used to it?"
"Very good." Xu Yizhang replied after swallowing the fish.
"How's the data?"
"Almost all remembered."
Fu Qiran was a little surprised, "Just remember it all?" Such a good memory
Xu Yizhang nodded, "I have a better memory." This is the truth, and she can remember it deeply after just one glance.
But talking to the boss like this is very suspicious of pretentiousness.
Qin Zhen heard that it was a fear, because she was afraid that her cousin would start to embarrass Xu Yizhang when he had a convulsion.
But Fu Qiran was still a bit humanitarian, just nodded, put down his chopsticks and left, and then told Qin Zhen, "Reimburse that fruit tea too."
Xu Yizhang bit the fish in a daze, then quickly said, "No need."
He invited them to eat pickled fish, and she just ordered fruit tea.
Fu Qiran said indifferently: "According to your request, what money is left in a month?" After finishing speaking, he took his mobile phone and went out.
Qin Zhen said: "The reimbursement is pretty good. Don't stop him. Three cups of fruit tea cost seventy-five yuan."
Xu Yizhang said helplessly: "It was originally agreed that I would invite you."
"It's okay, my cousin's family is very rich, he doesn't lack this."
Xu Yizhang thought to himself that it was one thing to have no shortage, but she said please and paid the bill later, which meant that she drank another cup of fruit tea from Fu Qiran, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she was a little embarrassed.

In the afternoon, I still read the materials.
At six o'clock in the evening, colleagues got off work one after another. Xu Yizhang packed up his things and said to Qin Zhen, "God, I'm going back to my house tonight, so I won't go to your place."
"Okay." Qin Zhen responded, and seemed to think of something, turned to ask her in a low voice, "Do you want to go back and confess?"
"Yeah." Xu Yizhang had a little anxiety hidden between his brows, "I always have to face it."
"Are you afraid they won't be able to bear it?" Qin Zhen wanted to persuade something, "You, do you want to think about it?"
In her eyes, Han Shen is very good. He is a top student in the law department of B University. He is good-looking and talented. He is completely the ideal object of a woman's dream. She really can't figure out why Xu Yizhang broke up
Perhaps thinking of his parents, Xu Yizhang said absently, "I'll tell you tomorrow."
In her current mood, she didn't want to say anything.
Turning around and leaving the company, she got on a bus.
It takes about seven or eight stops to get home.
She chose a place at random, looked at the window, her eyes gradually became loose.
Xu Shi was in a daze, and memories would emerge. Looking at the scenery outside the window, her memories turned like gears, and the past scenes reappeared in front of her eyes. When she got home, she was already in tears.
Wiping away tears with her fingertips, she put her hands in her pockets and got out of the car.
Both sides of the road were bustling, and she felt that her fate was about to end, so she sighed deeply.
As long as the parents pass the hurdle, this bad relationship will truly become a thing of the past.
Just looking at the building above her head, she was still a little timid.
Fear, anxiety, helplessness, unknown confusion...
All kinds of emotions were intertwined, making her hands and feet cold.
Finally, the elevator stopped at the 16th floor.
Xu Yizhang came out of the elevator, just imagining the scene of the confession, and her eye circles turned red involuntarily.
She couldn't imagine the reaction of her parents when they heard those words.
When turning the doorknob, she even felt that she had no strength.
She imagined what the first sentence should say.
Then, she saw Chu Huixin who was changing shoes at the entrance, that back was so thin.
She felt unfilial.
He bit his lip uncontrollably, and his voice was stuttering, "Mom..."
She wanted to ask: Is Dad there
But Chu Huixin spoke before her, "Are you back? There is no coriander at home, and Mom is going out to buy some."
Xu Yizhang tilted his head to calm down his emotions, and asked under his throat, "Why do you buy coriander?"
"I boiled chicken soup, and I found out that there is no coriander after cooking." Chu Huixin smiled happily, "Han Shen is here, talking to your father and your uncle."
Xu Yizhang was stunned for a moment, and his sadness suddenly turned into anger, "Why is he here?!"
They all said they were going to break up, so why are you here to join in the fun
"Shh! Keep your voice down." Chu Hui glared at her heartily, "Your cousin and his wife had a quarrel, and now they are going to divorce and fight for custody of the child. Isn't Han Shen a lawyer? Your father asked him to come over to your uncle." Talk about it."
"Oh." It turned out that Xu's father asked him to come, Xu Yizhang was a little embarrassed, and touched his nose, "Then are you in there now?"
"A few people are talking in the living room."
Xu Yizhang nodded, said nothing, changed his shoes and went in.
But I didn't expect that he would come today after she said such exaggerated things to Han Shen last night.
And she didn't reveal anything to her parents.
To be honest, this made Xu Yizhang's mood more complicated.
Wearing indoor shoes and entering, there were indeed several people sitting in the living room. Uncle, aunt, and cousin all came. Father Xu sat on the side, watching Han Shen proudly explaining legal knowledge to his cousin and them.
There were also some gift boxes and tea leaves on the table, probably for my cousin and the others to thank Han Shen.
Seeing this, Xu Yizhang yelled "Dad, Uncle, Auntie, Cousin" and went into his room.
Maybe because she had drawn a clear line, she didn't want to go to the living room to avoid further embarrassment.

dinner time.
Uncle and aunt all went back, Chu Huixin brought the chicken soup to the table, and called Xu Yizhang to come out to eat, "Yizhang, it's time to eat."
"Here we come." Xu Yizhang responded, and when he came out, he saw Father Xu and Han Shen standing at the door talking.
What Dad Xu meant was to keep Han Shen for dinner, he was very enthusiastic.
Han Shen pursed his lower lip, his eyes were unclear.
Judging from the reaction, it seems a bit tangled, isn't it because they are thinking about telling them about their breakup
Xu Yizhang suddenly became very guilty. It would be meal time, and she didn't want her parents to lose their appetite for the delicious food on the table.
If you want to say, wait until you finish eating before confessing.
"Yizhang, what's the matter with Ah Shen? You're so reserved when you ask him to stay for a meal. He's about to get married." Father Xu smiled kindly, and asked Xu Yizhang to persuade him.
