In her previous life, Xia Rou and Cao An were as close as her own brothers and sisters. Xia Rou naturally wanted to get close to Cao An in her heart. However, this kind of thing is not what she wants.
She thought about it again, facing Cao An who treated her like a stranger, she could only hold back.
Cao An and He Chengzhe ate and lived together, went in and out together. It is said that they are helping He Chengzhe find a house while starting to build their studio. The two often come back very late, so even though they are neighbors who live on the same floor, the chances of Xia Rou meeting Cao An are limited.
After dinner with Cao Xiong, Xia Rou took a rest and changed into sportswear.
The hottest part of the day is over, and she's back to running. Although swimming is also good, she still enjoys being outdoors.
Back then, it was Cao Yang who thought she was too weak and forced her to run, which led her to love outdoor sports.
She put on her earphones and listened to the upbeat music, greeted the guard at the door, and ran out of the Cao's mansion all the way.
She ran along the avenue through two intersections, turned a corner and ran in the direction of the ecological park, and stopped slowly after a few steps.
In the halo of evening yellow, there is a familiar car parked in the shadow of the roadside buildings. Through the windshield, one can vaguely see the figures of two people in the car overlapping and entangled.
Look at them choosing this place! How bold, Xia Rou thought.
She hesitated for a moment and walked over.
The sound of knocking on the glass startled the two handsome men who were kissing inseparably. After seeing the faces of the people outside the window, the expressions of both of them were very subtle.
Cao An wiped his mouth, tidied up a bit, and then pressed the glass on the side of the co-pilot, and asked with a smile through He Chengzhe in the middle, "Xia Rou, why are you here?"
"I'm out for a run." Xia Rou said.
She warned Cao An very seriously: "Brother Cao Yang will run with me sometimes. We will go this way to the ecological park." So, you two, pay attention!
The expressions of the two men could not be more subtle.
On the contrary, Xia Rou was very calm and said, "I just want to tell you this, nothing else. Okay, I'm going for a run. It's for nothing."
Cao An gritted his teeth and waved to her with a smile.
Xia Rou is very funny.
Looking at that expression, it's like being caught and raped in bed.
Isn't it just that a man and a man are in love? She has helped him cover it up for ten years, so there's nothing to make a fuss about.
The high school girl with white skin like a porcelain doll ran away calmly.
The two men in the car were not calm anymore.
After a strange silence, He Chengzhe burst out laughing.
"Little girl, it's interesting!"
Turning around and seeing Cao An's expression, the smile on his face faded.
He lit a cigarette, took two puffs, stretched out the car window to flick the ash, and said flatly: "Don't think too much, since she kindly reminded you, she probably won't tell your dad."
The passion and lust that filled the car before dissipated invisible in the smoke.
Cao An glanced at He Chengzhe, didn't say anything, started the car, put it in gear and started.
Back to Cao's house.
Xia Rou took a shower and was lying on the sofa reading a book with half-dried hair when someone knocked on the door.
Opening the door, Cao An leaned against the door.
"Sleep?" he asked.
"Reading." Xia Rou said, stepping out of the way.
Her movements were natural, and Cao An, who was about to say "Can I go in and have a chat with you", was stunned for a moment.
"Aren't you coming in?" Xia Rou wondered. Then why is he knocking on the door
Cao An was speechless, turned around and walked in.
Xia Rou closed the door casually.
"Xiao Rou..." Sitting down on the sofa, Cao An made love first.
"About, the one you saw today..." He only spoke in half, looking at Xia Rou with a smile on his face.
Xia Rou knew that he must have come for this matter.
His stinky manner of talking and putting on airs is really exactly the same as in her memory.
Neither Cao Yang's fortitude, nor Cao Bin's flexibility, nor Cao Xing's uprightness, but sometimes he still loves to be eccentric, playful, and flirtatious! It's really infuriating.
But Cao An himself knew all kinds of bad things about him, so he didn't care.
"There are big brothers and second brothers who support the family. Even the third brother is not bad. It is enough for my father to be proud of. Me? I am a youngest son, and I don't have such a big responsibility. As long as I live happily, my mother is gratified in the spirit of heaven."
That's how Cao An chattered with her while smoking a cigarette, completely acting like a dude.
But in those years, was he really happy
Xia Rou couldn't help but sighed.
The little girl is from every family, and she sighed in a cold and old-fashioned way, looking so weird, Cao An thought to herself.
I heard Xia Rou say: "I know, I won't say it."
Cao An: "..." Is that the way to go
Xia Rou paused, and then said: "If you don't want your family to know, just be careful."
Having been taught a lesson by the little girl, Cao An rubbed his nose, a little puzzled, feeling that there was something wrong with the painting style.
"As long as you don't talk nonsense, it's fine. Thank you, brother. Be good, tell me, what do you want? I'll buy it for you." Cao An showed the expression of a big bad wolf abducting Little Red Riding Hood, and stretched out his wolf paw to rub her Rubbing Xia Rou's hair.
The hair is almost dry, the newly washed hair is a bit astringent, thick and dense. Touching it... feels good!
Xia Rou brushed away his wolf paws speechlessly: "I don't lack anything. If I need something, I will tell Brother Cao Yang."
"Hey, use my brother to suppress me?" Cao An smiled coquettishly.
Among the four brothers of the Cao family, he is the best-looking, especially attractive.
Unfortunately, Xia Rou is completely immune to his coquettish energy.
She knew that she was not familiar with him yet, and there might be some things that she shouldn't have said. But she was close to him from the bottom of her heart, and it made her angry to see him talk to her in this manner of speaking.
"When are you going to tell uncle about you?" She asked knowingly.
Cao An's smile stiffened.
"That's not something you kid should worry about." He was a little annoyed.
Xia Rou pouted.
Cao An's personality has always been immature. Compared with Cao Yang, Cao Bin, and Cao Xing, he doesn't look like a child of his parents.
However, it is precisely because of this that he and Xia Rou can get together.
Being looked down upon by a girl, really makes me angry!
Cao An gritted his teeth, and said with a straight face: "You are still young, you don't understand. There are some things that you can't do if you want to do it! Okay, it's getting late, go to bed early! In short, you help me keep the secret, Thank you."
He stood up and was about to go.
Xia Rou looked at him, he was tall, but... he had no courage...
Xia Rou always feels that since she was reborn, she sees people differently than before.
In fact, in her previous life, she also knew what kind of person Cao An was, but because she was close to him, she subconsciously always excused him. But after rebirth, she seemed to be able to separate herself from all the things she was trapped in before. When she looked at the people and things she had experienced, she was much clearer than in her previous life.
Fourth brother, I have never been able to become a responsible man like my eldest brother.
She looked at him, disappointed.
She stood up to see him off, but couldn't help but said: "Isn't it unfair to brother Chengzhe like you?"
Although he said that as long as he had a good time, he would be fine. But in the next ten years, Xia Rou felt that he did not get the happiness he wanted.
And all his unhappiness, in the final analysis, is rooted in the fact that he dare not confess to Cao Xiong. To put it bluntly, he is cowardly! No guts!
When He Chengzhe was with him, he could only cover up and hide. So in those years, He Chengzhe was also very unhappy. The two have been on and off.
Like Xia Rou, He Chengzhe also came from an ordinary family. He later wanted to break up with Cao An several times, but... If the most capricious fourth young master of Cao Siling's family disagreed, He Chengzhe would not be able to break up if he wanted to.
Later, Cao Xiong felt that Cao An was not young, and because of his status, he knew the major policy directions of the upper echelon earlier than others. He understood the future development prospects of the four provinces under his jurisdiction, and saw the huge benefits, so he arranged for Cao An to intervene in the real estate industry.
Cao An also resisted at first, so Cao Xiong suppressed his and He Chengzhe's clothing company.
The Cao family has a lot of businesses in the open and in the dark. For Cao An, the clothing company is half of interest and half of entertainment. For He Chengzhe, it was years of hard work.
Fortunately, Cao An bowed his head to Cao Xiong, and Cao Xiong let them go.
But He Chengzhe was hit hard. There was the most serious break between the two.
If the two of them can end here, maybe they can also be separated from each other, and each will be happy.
However, Cao An just refused to let go.
These two people are actually twins, and they each had boyfriends or girlfriends later. However, Cao An himself is not serious with anyone, but as long as he knows who He Chengzhe is serious with, he will definitely find a way to destroy it, regardless of whether the other party is a man or a woman.
In order to avoid him, He Chengzhe even moved the company to Yushi.
He later met a very nice woman who knew about his past and still accepted and loved him. He finally decided to marry this woman.
Even Xia Rou thought it was a good marriage.
Unfortunately, it was still destroyed by Cao An.
Xia Rou received a call from He Chengzhe and drove to Yushi to pick up Cao An who was drunk.
Before leaving, He Chengzhe said to her dumbly: "Ask him, is it because he just can't see me happy?"
In view of Cao An's black history, Xia Rou felt ashamed to answer even if she got close to him.
Later, He Chengzhe did not marry that woman in the end. He and Cao An were always entangled in this way until Xia Rou died.
At that time, Xia Rou had already moved back from Cao's house to the apartment where she and Cheng Wan used to live, regardless of Cao Yang's objection. With Cao An like this, she was afraid that she would send him home and let Cao Xiong know, and give him a belt, so she dragged him back to her apartment.
The next morning, Cao Yang suddenly knocked on the door of the apartment.
She thought he was looking for Cao An. It turned out not, he said he had something to talk to her about.
In the end, before he could tell what was going on, the hangover Cao An came down from upstairs wrapped in a bath towel, with half-wet hair, and asked Xia Rou loudly if he had anything to eat to fill his stomach.
Xia Rou has never seen Cao Yang's face so ugly.
He left without saying anything. Leaving Xia Rou and Cao An behind, they looked at each other.
In the end, Xia Rou didn't know what Cao Yang was going to talk to her that day.
It took her half a month to find out that Cao Yang was officially divorced that day.
