Xu Zuoyan, who was immersed in eating, finally felt something was wrong after taking a few bites. When he raised his head, he saw everyone looking at him. The strange scene made Xu Zuoyan almost choke on his rice. . But he didn't know that in the eyes of the people around him, the real weird thing was Xu Zuoyan himself.
"What are you doing?" Xu Zuoyan asked confused. Why didn't he suddenly stop eating and didn't say anything? He was looking at himself. Is there anything on his face
Thinking this, I reached out and touched my face, but there was nothing.
"Yanyan, you have finally grown up." Xu's mother said with a happy face, and Xu's father and sister on the side also meant the same thing.
If Xu Zuoyan picked up food for them, it was because he was a member of the family. This kind of thing was perfectly normal. It's just that at home, Xu Zuoyan is the youngest, so others have to pick up food for Xu Zuoyan. When will it be his turn to pick up food for others. And this time he didn't pick up food for them, but for Ye Kaicheng. You know, his attitude towards Ye Kaicheng has never been friendly. So when they saw this ordinary scene, the parents of the Xu family couldn't help but feel that Xu Zuoyan had really made some progress after staying with Ye Kaicheng for a while, and at least he knew how to take care of others.
As for Ye Kaicheng, he was equally astonished. After all, Xu Zuoyan had never taken care of him like this. Is this considered an improvement? So after the shock, there was a gentle smile on his face.
"What? Ye Kaicheng is a guest. Isn't it right to pick up food for him?" Finally understanding what went wrong, Xu Zuoyan couldn't help but blush a little and said with erratic eyes.
In fact, in Xu Zuoyan's heart, his actions just now were somewhat to please Ye Kaicheng. Because he knew that Ye Kaicheng was not in a good mood, Xu Zuoyan thought it was his fault, so he subconsciously wanted to please Ye Kaicheng.
After explaining here, he glanced at Ye Kaicheng secretly. But he saw Ye Kaicheng looking at him with a smile on his face.
Ye Kaicheng made eye contact with Xu Zuoyan, and did not avoid it anymore, giving Xu Zuoyan a gentle smile. Then he turned his head, picked up the dish Xu Zuoyan had given him in the bowl, put it into his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
Seeing this, Xu Zuoyan immediately felt happy. He stopped paying attention to the looks of Xu's parents and happily ate his food.
"Hey, Xiaoyan, is your hand injured?" Xu Shiyun asked suddenly.
"Okay, it's been healed a long time ago." Xu Zuoyan said and stretched out his hand to show Xu Shiyun. There was only a pink scar left on the wound on his arm.
"Then will you continue to work at the newspaper in the future? Why don't you quit?" Xu Shiyun coaxed Xu Zuoyan and said, wanting Xu Zuoyan to quit his job at the newspaper. She really couldn't bear to see her baby brother working so hard outside all day long. of running.
"Why do you want to resign? I have done a good job, and I have made great achievements in the past few days. I have made a lot of headlines. The editor-in-chief even called me to praise me." Xu Zuoyan immediately looked anxious as he was not willing to do anything. I want Xu Shiyun to prove her ability.
"What's the use of praising you? How long do you want to work like that? Sooner or later you will be exhausted, so why not take this opportunity to resign? My parents also mean the same thing." Xu Shiyun said. Xu's father and Xu's mother listened and did not express any opinions. They let the siblings fight on their own. If Xu Shiyun could really defeat Xu Zuoyan, that would be the best.
"How can I be tired? I think it's great. You are not in my profession. You don't know how interesting and exciting this job is." Xu Zuoyan became anxious, put down his chopsticks, and looked at the three of them while talking, thinking It takes three to convince him.
"Is it exciting to be chased around? Is it fun to offend people and cause trouble everywhere?" Xu Shiyun also put down her chopsticks and argued with Xu Zuoyan.
"It's not all like that. Look at the news on TV and the news in newspapers. If we hadn't run like this, where would you have gone? Besides, I've been doing this for a long time, and it's not that dangerous. It's fine, isn't it?" Xu Zuoyan said angrily.
"That's because Kai is protecting you from behind, otherwise you would think so." Xu Shiyun directly broke through this layer.
"Then, just don't help me anymore, Kai. I can do a good job myself and show you." Xu Zuoyan was so anxious that he even forgot to call Ye Kaicheng by his full name. The sound of "Kai" made Ye Kaicheng beside him look slightly sideways.
"I asked you, why can't you make sense? Why don't you just calm down?" Xu Shiyun also frowned in anger at Xu Zuoyan.
"This is a matter of attitude towards work. Didn't Dad say that no matter what you do, as long as you do it right, you must be loyal to the end? Right, Dad." Xu Zuoyan quickly pulled out Xu's father to testify.
"Eat, eat, the food is cold." Xu's father greeted Ye Kaicheng to eat, ignoring the fight between Xu Zuoyan and his brother. Mother Xu couldn't stand it anymore, so she stopped her.
Xu Shiyun and Xu Zuoyan calmed down, but Xu Shiyun still stared at Xu Zuoyan. Xu Zuoyan, on the other hand, moved towards Ye Kaicheng. He didn't want to eat anymore, so he thought in his mind that it would be better to go to work early so as not to hang around in front of his sister all day long and be talked about by her all the time.
So after dinner, Xu Zuoyan couldn't sit still at home. From time to time, he secretly pulled Ye Kaicheng, who was talking to Xu's father, and wanted to go back quickly.
Finally, Ye Kaicheng finally opened his mouth to leave. As soon as Xu Zuoyan heard this, he rushed to the door, opened the door for Ye Kaicheng and waited. After being glared at by Xu Shiyun for a few times, Xu Zuoyan pretended not to notice, and then pulled Ye Kaicheng and ran away quickly as Xu Shiyun sighed, "My brother is too young to stay."
"Being a reporter isn't that bad. I can exercise and support myself. Why do you keep asking me to stop doing it?" On the way home, sitting in the passenger seat, Xu Zuoyan kept his head down and frowned. , obviously still hasn’t recovered from Xu Shiyun’s blow. After being bored for a long time, when I was about to arrive home, I couldn't help but start talking to Ye Kaicheng.
After waiting for a while, Ye Kaicheng, who was driving, didn't respond to him. Xu Zuoyan looked up at Ye Kaicheng dissatisfied and wanted to ask why Ye Kaicheng didn't respond to him. And immediately, he thought that it was not just his parents who prevented him from pursuing a career as a reporter, but Ye Kaicheng was also one of them, because among the people Ye Kaicheng hated the most were reporters, and he always thought about it. He secretly dug up his background, so if there was a vote to decide whether he should continue to work in this industry, Ye Kaicheng would definitely be the first to vote against it.
Thinking of this, Xu Zuoyan suddenly felt discouraged and found that no one supported his efforts.
"You are all big shots, and you are good at everything you do. I am just a scumbag. I have no use except for running errands because of my good physical strength. It is rare that I find a job as a reporter, and my work is not bad, but I just can't join you." Eyes. I'm just an ordinary person. I'm not like you, doing anything with great success. I just want to do what I like and what I can do. Is there anything wrong with that?" Xu Zuoyan's face looked a little sad. , tilted his head, as if talking to Ye Kaicheng, or talking to himself.
He doesn't have any lofty ideals. He just wants to do something he likes and can do. But if he is blocked again and again, even if he is heartless, he will still feel a little bit sad.
"You can do whatever you like. If not, you'll still have me." Ye Kaicheng didn't look back at him, but responded lightly but tenderly. This simple sentence was what Xu Zuoyan wanted to hear the most and what he felt most secure at the moment. Xu Zuoyan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I can do it on my own without you." Xu Zuoyan moved his body without concealing his obvious joy and muttered proudly.
In response to his words, Ye Kaicheng smiled and said nothing.
After his mood improved, Xu Zuoyan remembered the topic that made Ye Kaicheng unhappy before, and was about to explain to Ye Kaicheng that he didn't mean to irritate him. But by chance, Ye Kaicheng's phone rang, so he shut up.
"What's the matter?" Ye Kaicheng, who had returned to the apartment parking lot, parked his car and then answered the phone.
"Boss, we found the goods." The person on the other end of the phone said obviously excited.
"Very good, don't make any mistakes, I'll be there right now." Ye Kaicheng's dark eyes flashed, and he responded, then hung up the phone, turned to Xu Zuoyan, who had already unbuckled his seatbelt and was about to get off, and said: "Zuoyan, do it yourself Go up, I have something to take care of. I probably won’t be back tonight, so remember to get some rest early.”
"You're not coming back?" Xu Zuoyan was stunned and asked.
"Well, the company has important matters to deal with." Ye Kaicheng explained, and when he saw Xu Zuoyan looking at him with gleaming eyes and about to speak, Ye Kaicheng had already guessed what he wanted to say, and clasped the back of Xu Zuoyan's head with one hand and kissed him Touched Xu Zuoyan's lips.
"Good boy, go home. It's not convenient for me to take you there this time." After leaving a trace of moist water on Xu Zuoyan's lips, Ye Kaicheng let go of Xu Zuoyan and coaxed.
"Oh." Xu Zuoyan agreed without thinking about it. When he got off the car, he couldn't help but blush. He was so easily settled by Ye Kaicheng with a kiss. He was really worthless.
Turning around and watching Ye Kaicheng wave to him and drive away, he obediently went upstairs.
When he returned home, he was alone again, with all the headlights turned on, and then he walked in and sat down on the sofa. I turned on the TV and turned to many channels, but I couldn't stand it. I always felt something was wrong. Finally, he stood up in a hurry, ran into the bedroom, opened the closet, and found a set of more casual clothes. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "It's up to you. We'll do it tomorrow." Live, stay away from loneliness and all that."
Yes, he felt lonely. Without Ye Kaicheng by his side, he felt very bored. Ye Kaicheng is usually at home. Even if he has been working in the study and not talking, Xu Zuoyan feels good and looks quite comfortable watching TV. But now when he thinks about Ye Kaicheng not coming back at night, he can't help but feel lonely. In view of Xu Shiyun's intimidation, he decided to go to work tomorrow. If he was busy, he would not feel bored.
Putting the clothes beside the bed and looking at the oversized bed, Xu Zuoyan raised his hands, stared at his feet, and fell on the bed.
Closing his eyes and smelling the familiar smell of someone on the bed, Xu Zuoyan involuntarily moved closer, hugged a corner of the quilt, and called out "Ye Kaicheng" in a low voice. The thin voice disappeared from the room in an instant, as if it had never been there before, but it did exist, with a touch of longing.
