So for Zhang Ling, the dark side she had deliberately hidden for many years was exposed to the sun.
If the scorching sunshine cannot revive her from the ashes, then she is likely to perish.
Everyone who enters society today has at least two personalities.
A kind of work personality, acting as a professional worker with ease in order to survive;
Another kind of life personality, when there are no outsiders, hide in a place where you feel at home, take off the tiring mask, and completely relax your body and mind.
And Zhang Ling also has a first love personality.
With this personality, she regards her first love as the most important treasure in her life.
The loss of her first love severely damaged her body and mind.
Her father became haggard and lost a lot of weight because she didn't think about food or food.
Once when she was out walking, her father, who had been following her, was trying to protect her from a speeding motorcycle, but in the process of protecting her, a cut was made in the fabric of her back.
Her father didn't care about the blood stains oozing out from the torn hole. He took the lead and eagerly asked her where she was injured.
At that moment, she realized that there can't be only love in a person's life.
There are also family ties, friendships, classmates...
In order not to worry her only relative, her father, she could only hide her first love personality temporarily.
She would even look for a similar substitute using her first love as a mold.
Thus occupying the dry heart that has been closed for a long time due to first love.
Her heart was like a dead tree blooming because Li Xiang was gradually recovering.
Experience the happiness brought by love again.
Could it be that she was ruined because of her negligence and saying something she shouldn't have said?
fine!
She didn't see anything wrong in his eyes so far.
"Of course, you are from here..."
As he spoke, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
That was his rejection of the current situation with Zhang Ling after learning what he thought was the truth.
Zhang Ling obviously guessed that the purpose of his getting up was to emphasize that she was the owner of this place.
But he failed to stand up and was pushed back to his seat by her.
During this process, she vaguely felt that he seemed to be too polite than usual!
We are already old acquaintances with her, but it is completely unnecessary to stand up when talking.
"Li Xiang, you don't have to get up. You cooked this meal. You can treat this place as your own home."
His deliberately distant and polite behavior made her guess that he had indeed heard something at the bathroom door just now.
She wants to use the method of raising the other party's status to make the other party ignore it or mistakenly think that she heard it wrong.
"My own home?"
If these words had been put aside before, he would have been elated.
Now he vaguely felt that her statement was sarcastic.
It was ironic that he should not regard this place as his home, but shamelessly come to make breakfast for her often.
"Yeah!" Zhang Ling nodded in affirmation.
Li Xiang did not relax because of her words. Instead, he became even more uncomfortable and continued:
"this……"
When he saw Zhang Ling had arrived at the table, Yan Yuan started to eat happily.
It doesn't look like a woman eating at all.
It feels more like ordinary workers on early construction sites scrambling to eat from the big pot.
When I heard the two of them grinding their chopsticks all the time.
Yan Yuan spoke immediately before swallowing a mouthful of food:
"Hey! I say you two are acting strange today. We sit at the same table to eat not once or twice. Why are you so polite today?"
This question speaks to the essence of the current phenomenon.
The two of them looked at each other awkwardly for a moment.
None of them wanted to share their guesses.
Just by looking at each other, it seemed like they had already agreed.
At the same time, they looked at Yan Yuan and said:
"I want you to take care of it? You should just eat your own food quietly. Don't get into trouble!"
Yan Yuan was completely shocked by the scene before her.
For a moment, he was like a wooden sculpture sitting on a chair and temporarily motionless.
I thought she could bear Zhang Ling talking to her in this tone.
But Li Xiang, who had always wanted from her, did this, which made it difficult for her to accept it for a while.
What's even more terrible is that their divine synchronization has already explained the problem.
She, Yan Yuan, is afraid that her life will no longer be easy in the future.
A few moments.
Yan Yuan woke up and looked at them looking angry and said:
"Okay, you guys..."
I wanted to vent my complaints to them, but thought about the turmoil of breaking up the relationship and gave up.
What's more, Yan Yuan clearly saw that Zhang Ling completely accepted Li Xiang.
In the past, when encountering this kind of situation, Zhang Ling would be domineering and scold others for her sake.
He said that Zhang Ling was the only one in the world qualified to criticize.
However, Zhang Ling did not respond at all this time.
Yan Yuan knew that if she offended Li Xiang now, she would undoubtedly plant a thunderbolt for herself.
Therefore, I can even imagine in my mind the scene of the couple targeting her together.
She was so miserable that she could only drink a bowl of porridge every meal, and she worked as a servant doing all the housework every day...
"What do you want to say?" Li Xiang looked at Yan Yuan with interest and asked.
Yan Yuan glanced at Li Xiang in panic, and at the same time felt Zhang Ling's threatening eyes, and explained tremblingly:
"It's okay, it's okay. I just want to say that if you're not hungry, please continue to be polite. Oh, the breakfast today is really rich. Say no more, I'm going to start."
Zhang Ling saw that Yan Yuan had just finished speaking, so she lowered her head and continued stuffing food into her mouth.
It feels as if if I don’t take another bite of the delicious food in front of me today, I will never have the chance to eat it again in the future.
The two of them looked away from Yan Yuan, smiled at each other, and then sat back to the dining table.
Zhang Ling complained in her heart that Yan Yuan's behavior really embarrassed her.
In her mind, she even fantasized about scolding Yan Yuan to eat in the kitchen like a servant of a wealthy family.
Li Xiang realized that Yan Yuan's words and deeds just now were flawed because of Yan Yuan's "pleasant" words.
Worried that his eavesdropping behavior would be brought to light by her.
By then, he will no longer be shameless as a man.
So he decided to say something to change the subject, so that she had no time to investigate the reason for being polite.
"Zhang Ling, I promised Xiaodouzi that I will take the children out for an outing together after you try on the dress. Do you have any good places you can recommend?"
He always thought that Xiaodouzi was the daughter Zhang Ling cared about most.
He even cares about it far more than a normal mother-daughter relationship.
"XX Park!" Zhang Ling thought thoughtfully after hearing this.
She seemed to have guessed his intention.
I'm considering whether or not to take up the conversation with him.
Li wanted to see that his idea worked, so he continued to guide:
"Yan Yuan and the others want to go to XX Park. It is said that there is an artificial lake surrounded by mountains on three sides, with high green plant coverage and pleasant scenery. Many Wuchuan people will choose to go there for outings."
Zhang Ling did not answer Li Xiang's words.
She thought that if he didn't want to mention it, she just wanted to continue pretending to be confused.
She suddenly thought of an important matter at present.
Go to the place where she died last time and continue trying on dresses.
If you don’t go, you must not go.
Ten thousand reluctances suddenly welled up in my heart.
So she said with a somewhat painful face:
"It's not urgent. What I want to say is, do I really have to wear that dress to attend Shangguan Aoxue's birthday party? But wearing that thing will make me uncomfortable."
She thought the dress was really beautiful just by looking at it.
Maybe wearing it to a birthday party can really become the biggest focus of the party.
Because the dress was personally customized by an internationally renowned fashion designer invited.
For Zhang Ling, it was not about wearing a dress, but about competing with Shangguan Aoxue through suffering.
So as to satisfy the entertainment needs of those gossip watchers.
Maybe Muzi guessed Zhang Ling's character wrong.
In order to please Zhang Ling, I made this arrangement specially.
By the way, it also helped Li Xiang get rid of Shangguan Aoxue's entanglement.
"Oh, are you uncomfortable? Then don't wear it. If you really don't want to go with me, you don't have to go either."
Li Xiang himself didn't want Zhang Ling to go.
At that time, she agreed to go because she listened to Muzi's suggestion, saying that Shangguan Aoxue had bullied Zhang Ling more than once.
Thinking of letting Zhang Ling steal all the limelight at the birthday party.
So that Zhang Ling can vent her anger.
After hearing what the stand-in said, he felt that this outcome was normal.
He kept reminding himself to be a man of backbone.
No matter how much I feel sorry for her, I can't let myself lose my dignity again.
Trying to keep a woman whose heart has never been with him by throwing a tantrum.
"Really?"
Zhang Ling looked at him excitedly.
Li Xiang tried his best to maintain a calm smile and nodded "Yeah".
In his opinion, she was preparing to end the relationship.
Whatever!
The so-called outing plan to cultivate feelings has not only lost its meaning.
And it’s very likely that it won’t go on.
She also made it clear that she did not want to accompany him to the birthday party.
At this moment, he was actually half expecting her to say that she would not go to any of the Li Xiang family's sacrificial activities.
Then he can be relieved.
He felt that it would be good to end this relationship without leaving any trace.
Zhang Ling clearly heard the answer from Ying Yuan.
But what she saw clearly was Li Xiang's smile at this moment, but it felt like a huge stone had been pressed down on her heart, giving her a feeling of breathlessness and depression.
At the same time, she also clearly felt that the depression was mixed with a little panic.
Then the excitement on her face completely disappeared.
"Li Xiang, look at you, am I embarrassing you by doing this?"
He followed the sound and saw a worried look on her face.
He was sure that this worry was not a deliberate act at all.
That true love is like the spring breeze blowing on the face, making people feel extremely smooth both physically and mentally.
I temporarily forgot what I said in the bathroom.
"Ah, haha, don't think too much, it's nothing to be embarrassed about. In the past, Chen Jian would do this for you. This time..."
Li Xiang hesitated to speak but stopped talking.
He wanted to say that this time was originally for you to defeat Shangguan Aoxue.
Since the heroine doesn't want to go, it doesn't matter whether he goes or not.
So when he thought about her "substitute" words in the bathroom again.
He felt there was no need to say anything more.
"What's wrong? Keep talking!"
She could tell that Li Xiang had something more to say.
Eager to know what he will say next.
Before she could hear his answer, Yan Yuan suddenly interrupted without raising her head:
"Chen Jian, are you going again this time?"
Zhang Ling's heart skipped a beat and she turned to look at Yan Yuan in surprise.
Judging simply from the tone of his voice, Yan Yuan has an eager expectation to go.
Hasn't Yan Yuan forgotten Chen Jian?
She wanted to ask, but it was a little late and she followed the voice to him.
Li Xiang glanced at Yan Yuan, then his eyes fell on her and said:
"If Zhang Ling doesn't go, Chen Jian will go on behalf of Zhihua Technology. It depends on her."
"I?"
Zhang Ling had already expected the answer.
But I was still a little surprised when I heard it with my own ears.
Yan Yuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang Ling, with a somewhat pleading look in his eyes and said:
"Zhang Ling, if you don't plan to go, I will go for you."
Li Xiang knew Chen Jian's persistence.
The hospital after the blind date that night.
Originally, he wanted to scold Chen Jian for being too ruthless towards Yan Yuan.
I never thought that Chen Jian would be like a monk who has seen through the world of mortals.
He said all this because Li Xiang didn't want to have too much to do with Yan Yuan.
Chen Jian even said that he fell in love with Muzi at first sight.
Naturally, I want to say goodbye to my former self from now on.
At that moment, he really had the urge to tell Chen Jian.
Speaking of Muzi, he actually already had a real idea in his mind.
Idiot Chen Jian probably doesn't stand a chance.
"Two good friends fell in love with the same woman at the same time. Alas, these three people have such a bad fate!"
He was really worried that the two good friends would turn against each other.
I originally thought that Yan Yuan was completely disheartened because of Chen Jian's ruthlessness and no longer wanted to see Chen Jian.
That's why he, like Zhang Ling, looked at Yan Yuan in surprise and asked:
"you go?"
When Yan Yuan heard that the two of them had such a tacit understanding, he raised his head and explained with a smile:
"I heard that the woman with two surnames always invites celebrities from all walks of life in Wuchuan to her birthday party. I also want to go there and see the world."
This explanation made her a little confused.
In the past, she had many opportunities to invite Yan Yuan to see the world together.
But Yan Yuan was either using the excuse that his status would cause bad influence, or he was using the excuse of saying what fun would there be in such a party?
A group of brightly dressed people, wearing so-called elegant and noble masks, gathered together and exchanged flattery with each other.
It would be even more uncomfortable for Yan Yuan to learn the words and deeds of people like this than to kill her directly.
"No, Yan Yuan, are you sure you are serious?"
Zhang Ling wanted to hear Yan Yuan's definite statement with her own ears again.
"Yeah!" Yan Yuan nodded towards Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling just wanted to ask why she made such a decision.
Li Xiang said to Yan Yuan with an indifferent smile:
"I can't decide this. If you really want to go with Chen Jian, I suggest you contact Chen Jian privately."
"Okay, okay! Brother-in-law, please tell me Chen Jian's phone number. I'll contact him right away."
Yan Yuan excitedly picked up the phone, stood up and approached Li Xiang.
Zhang Ling was a little confused!
I wonder if Yan Yuan has recovered his emotional memory for Chen Jian?
She clearly remembered that Chen Jian's contact information was stored on Yan Yuan's cell phone.
Because the number was copied from her.
Now I am asking Li Xiang what he means?
Zhang Ling stared at Yan Yuan entering the number, thinking in her mind how to explain, Yan Yuan already has a phone number on her phone?
Yan Yuan dialed the number immediately, and her anxious heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Yan Yuan stared at the screen with curiosity for a while before speaking:
"Oh my God, I have already saved Chen Jian's phone number on my mobile phone. I actually have no memory of it." After thinking for a while, he suddenly looked up at Zhang Ling with a smile and said, "Zhang Ling, this is your help.
Did I store it? Sister, it’s great to have you!”
Yan Yuan, what kind of imaginative thinking mode is this?
How could he find an explanation for her like this?
