Xue Chen has been very busy recently, and Xue Nan was in a car accident just a few days after leaving the country and broke a bone. Xue Fu and Xue Mu were really worried, so they went abroad together to take care of their daughter and left the company to Xue Chen to manage.
It stands to reason that Xue Chen has never intervened in the company's business, and it is very unwise to suddenly give him full power. But Father Xue didn't want to wait any longer, and took advantage of this opportunity to force him to come to the company.
It didn't take long for Xue Chen to agree. One was forced by the situation, and the other was a little tired of the days he always liked.
Xia Zhen has a boyfriend, so he doesn't want to face her anymore.
His thoughts on Xia Zhen were actually a bit complicated. When he first met her, he just thought she was like a boy, but she was better than those shy and thoughtful girls. After getting along for a few years, the two of them became very familiar with each other, and many beautiful and gentle girls pursued him, but he found that getting along with Xia Zhen was more comfortable. He also didn't remember when he had the idea of marrying her in the future. He always thought that everything would fall into place, but he never expected that a Pei Chengan would suddenly appear in Xia Zhen's body.
He felt that something was wrong, but he knew that he had no position to interfere. Disturbed, he diverted his energy and devoted himself to learning and managing the company. He was tired every day, so he didn't have so much time to think about it.
He didn't sleep last night, he was tired only at dawn, and he slept for half a day.
He was woken up by Xue Nan's phone call. He looked at the time and said to Xue Nan: "You don't sleep in the middle of the night?"
Xue Nan could hear the sleepiness in his voice, and asked, "Then what do you sleep in during the day?" Xue Chen didn't have the habit of taking a nap, so as an elder sister, she naturally knew it.
The two of them stopped talking about this boring topic, Xue Nan went straight to the point and asked, "Did you and Xia Zhen not develop smoothly? That's why you changed your gender and went to work in the company?"
The siblings have a good relationship, but Xue Chen is cold-tempered, Xue Nan is also busy, and they are separated from each other, so they don't communicate often. Recently, because Xue Nan was injured, and his parents were not worried about the company, he would call Xue Chen every day, and the call would be transferred to Xue Nan.
But with her parents by her side, Xue Nan couldn't ask. She slept too much during the day and couldn't fall asleep when she woke up in the middle of the night, so she called to care about her dear brother.
Xue Nan also asked about him and Xia Zhen a few days ago, but Xue Chen kept silent.
"She has a boyfriend." Xue Chen's voice was flat.
"Huh? Boyfriend? Could it be the one who called Xia Zhen the night before I left?"
Xue Chen was silent, Xue Nan understood, sighed, and said, "If that's the case, then you can give up." They already have boyfriends, so it's not something they would do to intervene at this time.
Xue Chen was still silent, he was still not reconciled, and felt in his heart that the friendship he had with Xia Zhen for so many years could not be compared to a man whom he had known on a blind date? And even if they become a couple now, they may not necessarily become a couple in the end.
He refused to give up, but he didn't know what to do. He really never thought about taking love with a sword.
"What kind of man is that? No matter what, he can't be better than you, right? But if he is gentle and considerate, he can be regarded as better than you." Xue Chen actually asked for this to happen.
Xue Chen didn't want to comment on Pei Chengan, "I just hung up the phone if I had nothing else to do."
"You treat your injured sister who cares about you like this?" Without waiting for Xue Chen to speak, she said again: "Tell me, maybe I can give you advice? You always keep everything in your heart like this , No one said anything, that's why it became like this and I was frustrated in love before it started. Let me tell you, if you change a little now, you may still have a chance. "
Xue Chen remained silent, but did not hang up the phone.
Xue Nan, who was holding the mobile phone, curled his mouth and asked softly: "What does that man do? What does he look like?"
"Working in the research institute, I don't know about biology." Xue Chen answered this time, but he still didn't want to comment on his appearance.
"Sounds good, what about the looks? Handsome?"
Xue Chen said impatiently, "Is this important?"
"Of course it's important! Xia Zhen is the only woman I know who doesn't like handsome men." Otherwise, Xue Chen would have been thrown down long ago. So she was curious about what Xia Zhen's boyfriend looked like.
"You look okay." Xue Chen said reluctantly.
"What's your name?" Xue Nan asked casually.
"Pei Chengan."
"What did you say?" Xue Nan raised his tone once.
Xue Chen was suspicious, "What's the matter? Do you know each other?"
"You mean... Pei Chengan?" Xue Nan suppressed his voice.
"Yes."
"Of course I know him." Xue Nan's tone was cold.
"Is he the one..." Xue Chen didn't continue, but he already understood in his heart.
I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
Xue Nan lost interest in chatting. She was in a more complicated mood now, and so was Xue Chen. The two hung up the phone tacitly.
When Xia Zhen received Xue Chen's call, she and Pei Chengan were sitting on a bench on the viewing platform by the river. There were many couples beside them. Everyone else was close, and they were the only two who respected each other like guests.
Pei Chengan looked completely unaffected by the environment.
In a blink of an eye, Xia Zhen saw other people kissing, hugging, embracing, and even groping... Her mind couldn't help but recall the scene when she was practicing with Pei Chengan in the martial arts gym. At that time, she didn't think there was any problem. , She suddenly felt very problematic.
Distraught, she was very happy to have a call, so she forgot to care about Xue Chen's indifference and alienation these days. "Xue Chen." Because of his joy and cheerful tone, Pei Chengan looked sideways.
Hearing her jumping voice, Xue Chen was also a little surprised. According to her character, after he ignored them for a few days, she would usually not have a good tone. But soon he thought of the reason, and the good mood that had just floated suddenly fell. "Where are you? With whom?"
Xia Zhen did not avoid Pei Chengan when she answered the phone, she turned her head to look at him, and said truthfully into the phone: "We are by the river with Pei Chengan."
Xue Chen took a long breath, and then said, "When are you free? Let's have a meal together."
"Aren't you busy?"
"Even if you're busy, there's still time for dinner."
"You didn't say that a few days ago." A few days ago, Xia Zhen wanted to ask him if he wanted to have a band, but he always used the excuse of being busy. Xue Chen was choked by her and had nothing to say.
Xia Zhen didn't want to blame him either, she knew he had no choice but to. She smiled sweetly and said, "I don't know when I'll be free now. I'll contact you when I'm sure."
"good."
"Then I hang up..."
"etc."
"Huh? What else is there?" Xia Zhen asked.
Xue Chen was silent for a moment, and then said with difficulty: "You don't know him well enough, don't be taken advantage of easily."
Before Xia Zhen could answer, Xue Chen hung up the phone. Xia Zhen's phone is still close to her ear, she is a little confused now.
She seems to have been taken advantage of a lot. Although they are all grandiose behaviors, they are actually similar to being taken advantage of.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Pei Chengan asked.
Xia Zhen came back to her senses, but when she saw Pei Chengan, her mood was complicated. She was speechless.
At this moment, a couple passed by in front of them. Xia Zhen, who was sitting on the chair, looked at the past, and clearly saw the man's arms around the girl's waist move up a little. At the same time, the man bowed his head and said to the girl, "It's fine anyway, let's go to the hotel."
Xia Zhen stared angrily at their leaving figures. Naturally, Pei Chengan also saw and heard it. Seeing Xia Zhen's contemptuous eyes at this time, he felt quite helpless. It seemed that there was nothing important on the phone.
When Xia Zhen called out Xue Chen's name, Pei Chengan's heartstrings suddenly tensed. He knew that Xue Chen was a threat to him, but he also knew that he and Xia Zhen were friends, and he shouldn't interfere. He restrained himself from listening to what they said, but seeing Xia Zhen's stunned expression, his heart ached again.
I didn't expect her attention to be diverted so easily, which means nothing happened.
However, he was wrong, Xia Zhen's face was worried, and her tone was also a little angry, "I want to go home."
This sentence was said suddenly, Xia Zhen added: "I have something to do."
"Well, then let's go." Pei Chengan didn't know what happened to her, she was fine before, he didn't know the reason, and she didn't want to say more, so he could only follow her.
All the way without words, Xia Zhen kept thinking. She felt that the price she had paid was a bit high, which made her panic.
The car parked outside the community, it took Xia Zhen a while to realize, "Are you there?"
"Here we are." Pei Chengan was wondering what went wrong, was it his problem or the phone call, or was it the passing couple
"Then I'm leaving, goodbye." Xia Zhen's tone was much better than before, she reached out to open the door as she spoke, and then turned to get out of the car.
However, she was pulled back to her original position by the seat belt, and she forgot to unbuckle her seat belt because of her confusion. She smiled awkwardly at Pei Chengan, then reached out to unbuckle her seat belt.
Pei Chengan grabbed her wrist and stopped her movement.
"What?" Xia Zhen asked in panic, grabbing his wrist reflexively. Today, I have done too much of this kind of action, and it has become a habit.
Pei Chengan seemed to be used to it too, remembering that he was still embarrassed last week, now grabbing her hand was like grabbing a wooden stick.
Feeling her resistance, he has already determined that her unhappiness has something to do with him, after all, even if she was unconvinced when she was practicing in the martial arts hall, it is not what she is now. "May I know why you are unhappy?"
What is the reason for her displeasure? She couldn't say it herself.
"I'm not unhappy." She opened her eyes and said nonsense.
Pei Chengan pursed his lips and remained silent, knowing that this was not true, but he couldn't refute her. Falling in love is really a profound and difficult knowledge.
I don't know why, seeing Pei Chengan's downcast look, Xia Zhen's heart softened, and she also knew that he had been teaching her very dutifully today, which was different from the pervert I saw just now.
"Okay, I'm really in a bad mood, but it has nothing to do with you."
Seeing Pei Chengan's disbelief, Xia Zhen went all out and said, "Women have those days every month, don't you know?"
Pei Chengan quickly understood, and immediately said seriously: "You can't do strenuous exercise during your menstrual period, you should tell me."
"Every month there are a few days or ten days when you are unhappy for no reason, that's what I mean." Brother, you are overthinking.
Seeing Pei Chengan's reddened ears, Xia Zhen's mood suddenly improved.
Since she suffered a little from him, then it would be good to get it back slowly in the future.
