Seeing how nervous he was about the pen, Lu Shaohuai knew that it was definitely not a gift from an ordinary person. He sat back on the sofa, opened the takeout bag, and asked with interest: "Did Shen Xiaoxiao give this to you?"
Zheng Chuyang sat next to him, "Yes, thank you for my gift when I go back to continue helping her."
"This is quite expensive." Lu Shaohuai said as he flicked the skewers and squinted his eyes.
Zheng Chuyang said: "I know. I was just thinking about what to give her as a gift in return."
Hearing this, Lu Shaohuai laughed twice, opened two cans of beer, handed him one, and said: "Of course I'm giving girls things they like, lipstick, bags, clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc. Okay? Let me tell you, giving something to a girl is the best thing to give."
"Superficial." Zheng Chuyang took a sip of wine, "She gave me a pen so thoughtfully because she wanted me to use this pen to write good recipes and cure more patients. My return gift cannot be casual, I must also be careful. ."
"You two, let me see how long you are going to keep tossing." Lu Shaohuai said: "Let me ask you, do you have no feelings for her at all?"
Just when Zheng Chuyang was about to deny it, Lu Shaohuai followed up: "Hey, let's think about it before we talk."
He subconsciously closed his mouth and really thought about it seriously.
"It's not that I don't have feelings for her. After getting along for a long time, I think she is quite cute." Zheng Chuyang thought for a moment and said seriously.
Lu Shaohuai handed him a skewer and said: "Is it as simple as just thinking it's cute? You didn't know what you were like when you picked up the pen just now, did you? Oh, that precious one, tsk tsk."
"I have to cherish this new thing that someone gave me."
"Just make excuses." Lu Shaohuai chuckled, "Anyway, I think you like her. If you don't like her, can you go back again? If you don't like her, how can you treasure this pen so much? You, you just don't want to admit it. I don’t know what you’re afraid of!”
The brother's words hit the nail on the head, leaving him unable to fight back.
Zheng Chuyang picked up the beer and took another sip, and said: "Shao Huai, you also know that I haven't been in love for a long time, and my perception in this area has deteriorated. As for me, I do have a crush on Shen Xiaoxiao, you have to ask me I can't tell when it started. But now I don't know what she means to me. It's not good to be sentimental, don't you think?"
"You're just afraid that you're being sentimental, so you don't dare to admit it, right?" Lu Shaohuai looked at him with disdain, "I'm not telling you, why have you become so cowardly now? Were you hurt so badly by your ex-girlfriend? ?”
"Don't mention her, we can still have a good chat." Zheng Chuyang rolled his eyes at him and said.
Lu Shaohuai said: "What I mean is, if you like someone, then pursue them. The worst case scenario is that they will be rejected. What can you do?"
Zheng Chuyang said: "It's not that I'm afraid of confessing and being rejected. What I'm worried about is that I might not even be able to be friends in the future."
"No, Shen Xiaoxiao is not that kind of person. Let's just say that in her current condition, you are the one who created a second life for her. No matter what, she will not be a stranger to you. Confession If they fail, they will just laugh it off. We are all adults and not so childish." Lu Shaohuai said with certainty.
"You said that I am the one who created a second life for her. She will not ignore me no matter what I do?" Zheng Chuyang asked tentatively.
"If it's not a matter of principle, it probably won't happen." Lu Shaohuai caught a hint of something strange, "Huh? What did you do to her?"
"I didn't do anything, I just asked." Zheng Chuyang avoided his gaze and said guiltily.
"No!" Lu Shaohuai smiled and hugged him, "There must be something wrong! Tell me quickly!"
Zheng Chuyang couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't ask, it has nothing to do with you!"
"Kiss, right?" Lu Shaohuai asked laughing.
When Zheng Chuyang heard this, he stopped making excuses and admitted: "Yes!"
"I'll go! You've already kissed me, why are you still here acting worried about gains and losses? She didn't refuse?" Lu Shaohuai asked gossiping.
Zheng Chuyang pushed Lu Shaohuai down who was lying on top of him, sat up straight, and said to him: "Don't ask, it's not what you think."
"It's not what I thought?" He smiled unkindly and said, "Did you forcefully kiss her?"
"As a grown man, can you please stop being such a gossip? Just stop right there. I can handle my own emotional affairs myself."
"Are you so confident?" Lu Shaohuai asked in a weird voice, "If you want me to tell you, you'd better tell me. After all, I have more experience in love than you, and I understand a woman's heart better, and you can better grasp her.
Psychological dynamics, isn't it? I also want to see you find a home as soon as possible and stop being so single."
"You make it sound like you have a girlfriend. If you are single, who will be your military advisor?" Zheng Chuyang said unconvinced.
These words seemed to pierce Lu Shaohuai's heart. He sighed, took another sip of wine, and said sadly: "I can't do it anymore. It's not as good as every year. I could still have a girlfriend in the past years.
It’s already May Day this year and there’s not even a movement, I’m screwed!”
Zheng Chuyang didn't know if he was just pretending or if he was acting out his feelings. Anyway, he had no intention of persuading him, and his own feelings were just like feathers.
He looked at the time and said, "I have to go out with my employees tomorrow morning. If I get up early, I won't be with you. I'll finish my meal and clean up by myself."
"Look, you run away when it comes to the critical moment. What on earth are you thinking?"
Zheng Chuyang ignored him and waved his hand.
This night, he and Shen Xiaoxiao were destined not to sleep well.
The next morning, while Shen Xiaoxiao was still sleeping, she heard her father say to herself in her ear: "Xiaoxiao, I'm going to pick you up at the airport, Uncle Chen. You should get up and pack up quickly."
Uncle Chen is the old guy that Father Shen always mentioned before.
Shen Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and asked confusedly: "Dad, what time is it?"
"We landed at half past ten. I can't go early." Father Shen touched her head and said, "Get up when you wake up. Mother Wang has already prepared breakfast."
"I know." She said and put the quilt over her head.
After breakfast, Shen Xiaoxiao was idle in the living room and started working. Suddenly she heard a sound in the yard. She looked up and saw Father Shen and his old friend and his family of four walking in laughing.
"Wang Ma, they are back." Shen Xiaoxiao put down the tablet and was pushed to the entrance by Wang Ma.
When everyone walked in, Shen Xiaoxiao greeted them with a smile: "Hello, Uncle Chen, hello, Aunt Chen."
Then he looked at two men and a woman who were similar in age to him and said, "Hello, welcome."
