Zhang Ling didn't find it strange that Muzi was grateful.
Instead, he deliberately asked:
"Muzi, tell me the truth. Is my decision indirectly helping you?"
Muzi looked at Zhang Ling in front of him in shock.
I don’t feel like my statement just now was revealing.
Could it be that she saw the clue from her expression?
This is indeed possible for him.
Because since becoming friends with Zhang Ling, his expression management has indeed become worse than before.
Everything you say and do, you can't help but leave it to Zhang Ling.
But he quickly came to his senses, nodded with a somewhat embarrassed smile and said:
"You saw it! Sorry, I do have some selfish motives. If you don't want to, you can regret it. I will never blame you."
Zhang Ling looked at Muzi's sincere look.
Even if you don’t look at the gift given by Muzi.
Don't friends help each other when needed?
That means you can help a friend if you have the opportunity.
She was still very happy.
"No need!"
She meant that there was no need to regret it.
Another meaning is that Muzi does not need to beat around the bush to express his need for help.
"It's necessary. Just because we are friends, we should be grateful even more."
"Oh?" Zhang Ling was curious.
Muzi actually said words that were different from her ideas.
"Thank you for showing respect. If you are a friend, you should be respected even more. The friendship established with a person who does not know respect is undoubtedly seeking the skin of a tiger and dancing with wolves."
According to Muzi's logic, we can indeed think so.
A person keeps saying that we are all friends, but he never respects you in his words and deeds.
Then it can only be said that such people have never regarded you as a friend.
If you really have to face a life-and-death trade-off, do you dare to expect so-called friends who don't respect you to still consider you a friend at this time?
Thinking about it this way, she began to agree with Muzi's concept.
It seems that there are indeed many popular sayings in the world, but because they are said by too many people, they are gradually regarded as the truth by those who hear them.
Little do they know that these words are lies that cannot withstand scrutiny.
"Oh." She nodded.
The stunning smile was followed by a hint of disappointment.
Zhang Ling thought that Muzi probably didn't think of another meaning.
When Muzi saw Zhang Ling's slightly disappointed look, he continued:
"And I know you are a straightforward person. You don't like people talking to you and being mean. I'm so sorry!"
"you know!"
How powerful is the person in front of you?
She hadn't even seen the tip of the iceberg of the other person clearly, but she seemed to have been completely seen through by the other person.
fortunately!
They are good friends with each other.
If it were an enemy, she would definitely be plotted to death.
Muzi nodded with a smile and continued:
"I promise I will ask you directly for help next time."
Zhang Ling was happy for a moment and blurted out:
"Don't worry, as long as I can, I will do my best."
Or maybe it’s because of Muzi’s advance preparation.
That's why he made a decision that went against his true wishes when it came to learning etiquette.
Fortunately, she woke up in time and escaped the pain caused by her wrong decision.
Of course, these were not enough to make her sleepless.
She recalled that at the end of the meal that night, Muzi made a scratching move that was confusing.
Because as long as a man does this action, the woman who sees it will definitely respond with the word "hooligan".
But by chance, she accidentally saw Muzi scratching happily.
Muzi may have realized that his actions were inappropriate.
Before Zhang Ling could ask, Muzi immediately put back his hand and stood up. He raised his hand to flick a strand of black hair beside his ear, lowered his head slightly with a shy smile, and excused himself to go to the bathroom.
Is it just internal anxiety?
Maybe Muzi is hiding something.
Zhang Ling even felt that Muzi's action was too strange.
I thought I would ask Muzi clearly when he came back.
When they met again, the somewhat mysterious Muzi pulled Zhang Ling and said that he would help a timid young man organize a romantic little ceremony to chase his girlfriend.
A flower, colorful balloons, a piece of music that can witness love...
The ceremony was romantic, and the young man successfully caught the girl.
Zhang Ling, who was so enthusiastic, forgot to continue questioning Muzi about his suspicious actions.
Zhang Ling is now undisturbed and has a very clear mind. She recalls the scene of helping a cowardly young man.
She felt more and more that there was something wrong with Muzi.
Muzi met the young man, and it was he who mentioned that he wanted to help the young man chase his girlfriend.
But after Zhang Ling agreed to help, it seemed like it was her job.
Muzi, on the other hand, was like a theatergoer, standing aside and watching the show doing nothing.
Especially the scene after successfully helping a young man chase his girlfriend.
Everyone present was happy to send blessings to the young men and women.
Muzi seemed to regard her as his lover. He looked at her longingly and smiled for a while and said:
"As long as you are happy, my friend, I will be happy!"
Is this something that can be said between friends?
The sentence structure is too familiar!
It was so familiar that she thought she had heard it wrong.
So she said to Muzi with a somewhat teasing tone:
"If you were a man, I would definitely think that your purpose of approaching me was impure because of your words."
After hearing this, Muzi first covered his face elegantly and smiled, then stopped his smile and said very seriously:
"If I were really a man, would I have a chance to win the heart of a beautiful woman?"
"No! And I will also pour the red wine in front of you all over you, then quickly stand up and leave gracefully. Let you sit here alone and calm down."
Zhang Ling answered without thinking.
It can be regarded as the subconscious fulfillment of loyalty, the emotional commitment between her and Li Xiang.
Although both sides were pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend at first.
She then clearly saw that Muzi looked like a lovelorn lover.
With a sad look on his face, he drank three glasses of red wine in a row without saying a word.
Although when Muzi drank her third cup, she realized that something was wrong with the current atmosphere.
She stood up and tried to grab the wine glass from his hand, but Muzi drank it all in one gulp.
When he put down the wine glass in his hand and raised his eyes to look at her, a burst of self-deprecating laughter suddenly sounded.
"I'm lovelorn, I'm lovelorn. I just fell in love."
Zhang Ling looked confused as she listened to Muzi's expression.
The first reaction was that Muzi must be mentally disturbed.
She was about to ask Muzi to explain her words and deeds.
Muzi suddenly stopped smiling, looked at her solemnly and said:
"Zhang Ling, my former lover. Do you believe it? I just fell out of love. A relationship ended before it even started. Alas, it seems that I am better suited to be a woman."
Lover, lovelorn, be a woman.
These words are combined together to create this paragraph. The amount of information seems to be too much, and it is difficult to accept it for a while.
First, her soul felt an unprecedented excitement.
Then she remembered that Li Xiang once said that Muzi looked very serious and trustworthy on the surface.
But Muzi is a funny person with a playful gene. Whenever he tells a joke, he can make you believe it.
Or maybe because of what Li Xiang said, she just took what Muzi said as a joke.
So she blurted out with a somewhat understanding attitude, feeling that Muzi was a little funny:
"A woman as feminine as you makes even me jealous when I look at her. But now you are talking as if you are not a woman."
"Huh? Are you jealous of me?"
Muzi was about to nod, but when he heard the word "jealousy", he was shocked again.
"Yes, it's jealousy!"
"But what if I'm really a man?"
Muzi looked serious when he said this, but Zhang Ling couldn't detect the slightest hint of a smile.
But she still didn't want to believe it and continued to smile and said:
"Muzi, don't be ridiculous! If you weren't a woman, I'm afraid there would really be no women in this world."
"Thank you!" Muzi finally said with a complicated smile.
This "thank you" almost made Zhang Ling stunned.
Zhang Ling temporarily understood that it was Muzi's reaction because of her praise.
But she didn't know that this "thank you" had two meanings.
First, Muzi thanked her for being his most suitable girlfriend;
First, Muzi thanked her for making him more determined in his plan.
Of course, this was also the main purpose of Muzi specially inviting Zhang Ling to have dinner together before parting temporarily.
Now when I think back to Muzi's smile at that time, I feel an embarrassing feeling that the conspiracy has been exposed.
There was also a sense of joy that she didn't want to believe that Muzi was a man.
illusion?
Every time Jianhe and Muzi meet, he exudes a femininity that is hard for her to achieve.
So I immediately came to the conclusion that it was an illusion.
She intuitively felt that Muzi's words and deeds at that time were somewhat inconsistent.
But she really couldn't figure out what was Muzi's problem?
The next morning.
She didn't know how long she had been entangled with Muzi.
It was already the usual time to get up, and her eyes were so sleepy that she couldn't open them.
At this time, Yan Yuan threatened in his ear:
"Lingling, aren't you getting up yet? Then I can only tell Li Yuan that you want to eat in the bedroom today and don't want to go out to eat, so let him help bring your breakfast in."
"don't want!"
Zhang Ling lost all sleepiness in an instant. She sat up from the bed and rubbed her eyes, looking at Yan Yuan who was all dressed up.
In her heart, she couldn't help scolding Yan Yuan for his bad intentions.
He clearly wanted to expose his ugly bare face in front of Li Xiang again.
"Haha, then get up quickly!" Yan Yuan urged with a smile.
Zhang Ling moved to the bed reluctantly, and suddenly realized another problem.
She looked up at Yan Yuan and said a little annoyed:
"Hey, I don't have to go to work this weekend, but you got up earlier than me. Looks like you're ready to go..."
Based on past experience, Yan Yuan must be happy with her boyfriends.
"nonsense!"
Yan Yuan predicted what Zhang Ling would say in advance, so he interrupted her.
"Huh?" Zhang Ling looked at Yan Yuan questioningly.
"Forget it, I'd better tell you in advance. It's your Li Xiang who is going to take us shopping today."
"Okay, I get it now."
She remembered that Li Xiang had said last night that the dress for the birthday party had been changed and he invited her to try it on today.
Her mind immediately recalled the embarrassing moment when she tried on a dress last time.
The hem of the dress was too long, and she was used to walking with long strides. She stepped on the hem of the dress and tripped, and she happened to fall directly at Li Xiang's feet.
The most terrible thing was not the wrestling, but that during the wrestling process, she subconsciously grabbed Li Xiang's pants.
There was a clear sound of tearing fabric.
One leg of Li Xiang's trousers had more than half torn off, and one leg was covered with hair...
Thinking of this, she shook her head suddenly, trying to shake off the embarrassing scene at that time.
"Do you know why you are still sleeping in?" Yan Yuan asked puzzledly.
Because Zhang Ling is also a woman who likes shopping.
Today, I seem to have obviously lost interest.
Yan Yuan became curious and wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Zhang Ling looked away with wandering eyes and explained:
"Because my dad is probably coming back soon. I want to clean up the house before he comes back. So I won't go out today. Or you can go."
She thought she had found a perfect reason.
Yan Yuan's eyes seemed to be able to examine her soul at this time, staring at her closely and saying:
"No! You didn't tell the truth. Looking at your current appearance, it looks a bit like..."
For Yan Yuan, dragging Zhang Ling to go shopping together was a task assigned to her by Li Xiang.
In order to allow Li Xiang to buy things for her openly in front of Zhang Ling.
This was a good way Yan Yuan thought of to make extra money last night.
Yan Yuan would not allow Zhang Ling to say no easily.
Zhang Ling knew there would be nothing nice to say, so she deliberately interrupted Yan Yuan and said:
"Don't talk about those things that are available or not. I just don't want to go today. What can you do to me?"
Yan Yuan let out a long sigh and said:
"Seeing that you insist on doing this, I won't force you. It's just that Xiaodouzi said that I want to give you a surprise today. Then I'll ask Li Xiang to inform Xiaodouzi that there is no need for a surprise, and the child will still be obedient in the orphanage.
Let’s play.”
"Surprise!" Zhang Ling, who was sitting on the bed, jumped off the bed and stood in front of Yan Yuan and asked, "Did Xiaodouzi say anything about the surprise?"
After she finished speaking, when she saw Yan Yuan's secretive smile, she felt a faint feeling that she had been cheated.
So he pushed Yan Yuan aside, rolled up his sleeves with a bit of anger and said:
"Okay, you dare to lie to me? Yan Yuan, I think your skin is itchy. You want me to give you a good scratch, right?"
Yan Yuan pretended to beg and said:
"Don't, don't, never! I promise I'm not lying to you. Li Xiang did inform you that he was going to bring Xiaodouzi. And I also heard that Xiaodouzi was going to give you a surprise. It's just..."
She looked at Yan Yuan's hesitant expression and asked curiously:
"Just what? Say it quickly!"
"It's just that I feel more and more that you and Li Xiang are definitely a perfect match."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because Li Xiang is definitely the man who knows you best besides your uncle. He said that as long as I mention Xiaodouzi, you will definitely have the desire to go out with me. I didn't expect it to be true!"
Zhang Ling also realized at this moment that Xiaodouzi's status in her heart had risen a lot.
There is even a vague possibility of surpassing Yan Yuan.
When did this start?
All this happened quietly after meeting Li Xiang.
When Xiaodouzi called him daddy, they formed a special family of three.
She also thought that she accepted the family of three because of Xiaodouzi.
The family of three unintentionally bound the three of them more tightly.
In other words, her subconscious has gradually regarded Xiaodouzi as her own daughter.
"Li Xiangzhen said that?"
On the surface, Zhang Ling looked displeased, but inside she was already full of expectations.
Well, it can even be said that I am happily looking forward to the definite answer.
