Because Zhang Ling was allergic to the smell of snail noodles, she did not follow him upstairs. Only Li Xiangxiang took Chen Jian to Zhang Ling's house like a prisoner.
Walking in the corridor, Chen Jian estimated that Zhang Ling couldn't hear what he was saying at this time, so he said angrily: "I mean, Li Xiang, we are good buddies after all. In order to please women, you are cheating your buddies like this?"
Li Xiang was even more emotional than Chen Jian and said: "Speaking of cheating my buddies, how could I be as good at cheating as you? In order to protect you, I took the blame for you. It's better for you to let you deal with the consequences of the good deeds you have done.
, and you dare to say that you were tricked by me!"
"Really! Did you really take care of this for me?" Chen Jian felt a little happy and relieved.
Because I was worried that if something like this happened, Yan Yuan in Zhang Ling's house would go crazy again and be beaten as violently as in the company conference room.
"Listening to what you just said, my heart is extremely unbalanced. Forget it, you don't have to go up. I'll do it for you, and then I'll confess to Zhang Ling." Li wanted to say and pretended to go to Zhang Ling.
"Don't, don't, don't!" He quickly grabbed Li Xiang and said.
Chen Jian now knows that Li Xiang and Zhang Ling have already decided that they will never see each other again. It would be bad if the truth of this matter makes them at war with each other.
"Why not? I don't want to take the blame for you and be blamed for nothing. No, no, I have to make this clear today." Li Xiang said with an extremely angry expression.
"It's wrong, it's wrong, I'm wrong. Isn't it enough for me to admit my mistake to you? Good brother, you are my best friend, Chen Jian. It's my fault." Chen Jian quickly admitted his mistake.
"That's pretty much it." Li Xiang was secretly happy, but still didn't show it. After speaking, he looked at Chen Jian again, "Are you still planning to deal with the aftermath?"
Chen Jian considered that in the name of helping out, he would be able to eat and drink, and maybe get a lot of benefits in the end. He could do this no matter what he thought. He finally decided to nod in agreement.
As soon as Li Xiang entered the door, the supervisor's father asked curiously: "Li Xiang, why are you back? Where is my daughter?"
Yan Yuan, who was busy packing the boxes, got up excitedly after hearing this and said: "Li Xiang, you are so kind! Are you here to help me? This box is a bit heavy, come and help me."
The father held the feather duster in his hand and shouted: "Quiet!"
Li Xiang looked at Yan Yuan's aggrieved look and explained to his father:
"Zhang Ling and I met my good friend as soon as we went downstairs. He heard that you had snail noodles at your house and was so greedy that he couldn't move forward. He said that as long as he could give him some food to satisfy his craving, he would be willing to help his uncle and clean up the place as soon as possible.
The snail noodles.”
When Yan Yuan heard that a close friend was visiting, he looked behind Li Xiang excitedly and said, "Really? Where is it? Why didn't I see anyone?"
Because Chen Jian was afraid of Yan Yuan, his legs felt weak when he walked to the door, and he hid and did not dare to enter.
After listening to Yan Yuan's words, Li Xiang noticed that Chen Jian had not come in. He was afraid that Chen Jian would change his mind and run away, so he quickly chased after him and dragged Chen Jian in who was hiding at the door.
Chen Jian glanced at Yan Yuan timidly, then quickly looked at his father and said, "Hi, uncle, I am Li Xiang's best friend Chen Jian. I am very happy to come over and help today."
"Is it you?" Yan Yuan instantly lost the feeling of expectation.
Chen Jian looked at Yan Yuan, swallowed his saliva and said, "It's me!"
The father looked at Chen Jian's spirited appearance, and then looked at Yan Yuan's reaction, and felt from the bottom of his heart that these two were a perfect match. So, he had the idea of bringing these two together.
This is my father Zhang Pengtian.
When I see a suitable young man, I want to be a matchmaker.
"Okay, very good!" His father stepped forward with a smile, put a hand on Chen Jian's shoulder, and said with admiration, "Well, he's a nice young man. I like it. Are you married? He looks like our Yan Yuan.
It matches very well!”
Chen Jian and Yan Yuan were disgusted with each other when they met, so they said in unison: "Uncle, who wants to be a match for him (her)? Stop talking nonsense! Humph..."
When Li Xiang listened to his father's words, the scene was so strikingly similar that he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Uncle, you can't keep Zhang Ling waiting downstairs for a long time. I am the best friend who can endure hardships, so I will leave him to you."
After saying this, Li Xiang turned around and walked towards the door before his father could respond.
"Hey, Li Xiang, wait a minute..." Chen Jian had the idea of escape.
He didn't want his father to mess with him for no reason.
His father reacted and grabbed Chen Jian's shoulders tightly to prevent him from breaking free. He looked at Li Xiang's back as he disappeared through the door and said, "Okay, I will definitely not treat you badly."
Chen Jian fell into despair and looked at Yan Yuan, who was not far away, looking at him with hostility. A shiver ran through his body.
Before, Chen Jiangang had the idea not to provoke Zhang Ling anymore, but now seeing Yan Yuan's hostility towards him, he felt more and more that his previous decision was right.
Therefore, Chen Jian secretly made up his mind to break up Zhang Ling and Li Xiang at all costs, even if he was tortured by the curse, just to never see Yan Yuan again in the future.
"Young man must not have eaten yet. How can you work without being full?" His father looked at Chen Jian with a smile, "Yan Yuan, go quickly and help Chen Jian prepare a piece of snail noodles first."
"What! Why should I prepare it for him? No." Yan Yuan said harshly.
His father turned around and looked at Yan Yuan waving the feather duster and said, "You are looking for a fight, right? Just prepare when I ask you to prepare. Why is there so much nonsense? Do you not want to eat at my place anymore?"
Yan Yuan hoped that he could continue to make money in the future, so he could only accept the threat and said: "Yes, I will prepare it for him right now."
Chen Jiangang felt lucky to have someone like his father to support him. He accidentally saw Yan Yuan showing an evil smile as he was preparing snail noodles. He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
…
at the same time.
Zhang Ling watched Li Xiang walk out of the building, took the initiative to greet him with a smile and said: "Sent it up? Your friend Mr. Chen returned it?"
"Yeah!" Li wanted to answer.
Zhang Ling continued: "This friend of yours is really interesting! Judging from his elegant attire, he must be a playboy who hangs out in various high-end places, but he would take the initiative to come looking for trouble?"
Zhang Ling had long seen that there was something fishy between Li Xiang and Chen Jian. She even guessed that the snail noodles in the house must have something to do with Chen Jian.
It just depends on whether Li Xiang wants to talk about it, and she doesn't want to expose this matter. After all, she also hides things that Li Xiang doesn't want to talk about.
She mentioned it like this just to find an opportunity to talk.
"Superficial phenomena, what you see are superficial phenomena. In fact, Chen Jian is quite pragmatic." Li Xiang explained with a smile.
Zhang Ling showed a meaningful smile and said: "Oh, I wonder, little flea, are you different from what you appear to be, or are you the same as you appear?"
"this……"
This question is a bit too difficult for Li Xiang to answer!
His nature is the same as what he looks like, but because of his grandmother's illness, he has to be a substitute who is different from what he looks like.
It has to be said that living like this made him very miserable.
"Forget it, I won't force you if you don't want to answer." Zhang Ling saw Li Xiang's embarrassment, turned to look at the sky in the distance and said, "Actually, people are like the sky in front of them, they can never remain the same.
It’s a clear, transparent blue.”
"This metaphor is interesting." Li Xiang said with a long sigh of relief.
Zhang Ling continued: "It's a fact. Look at this blue sky. Just like people, sometimes it turns into misty blue, sometimes there are a few white clouds floating in it, and sometimes it's covered with dark clouds..."
Zhang Ling looked at the blue sky with great interest and spoke, a bit like a poet, expressing her thoughts at this moment.
Li Xiang was a little confused as to what Zhang Ling wanted to express by saying this.
At first it sounds like it's saying that people are just like the sky in front of them, ever-changing. But after listening to it, it sounds like it's saying that people are like the sky in front of them. No matter how the wind and rain change, it can still remain clear and transparent after the wind and rain.
of blue.
The latter is more like advising him to always remember his original intention by talking about the sky in front of him, so that he will not lose himself on the road of life.
No matter what meaning Zhang Ling wants to express?
At this moment, he was staring at the few strands of black hair dancing in the wind on her forehead with some confusion.
Zhang Ling's thoughts seemed to be burned by this affectionate and sweet look, and she had to stop her poetic expression.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" She smiled slightly with a bit of shyness.
At this time, Li Xiang stretched out his hand to gently help her, brushing the messy hair behind her ears and said: "Well, you are still the most clear and transparent beauty at this time!"
Zhang Ling seemed to have regained the feeling of getting along with her first love in an instant. She pursed her lips and said with a bit of anger: "It sounds like I was not pretty just now? Humph..."
Li Xiang explained calmly: "No, it wasn't that you were not beautiful just now. A few strands of black hair danced with the wind just now, giving you a mysterious hazy beauty. Relatively speaking, I prefer your clear and transparent beauty."
That's right, I'm afraid there aren't many men in this world who like women with complicated hearts.
If a woman with a complicated heart is like a cup of hot drink with various condiments added, then a clear and transparent woman is like a cup of pure water that seems to have no impurities.
Hot drinks can really stimulate the taste buds at first drink, and have an extraordinary sense of confusion, which can make people want to stop for a while.
Over time, the taste buds become paralyzed, and the previous feeling of being unable to stop has gradually subsided. No matter how much hot drinks you drink, you will not be able to get back the feeling you had when you first tasted it. Drinking a large amount may even lead to nausea.
This process is like the vast majority of newlyweds in today's society who pursue vigorous and true love.
When they were in love, they really couldn't stop being happy. After getting married, they found that they could never get back to the feeling they had when they were in love. Instead of continuing to torture each other every day, it would be better to get together and go their separate ways.
Purified water is indeed bland and tasteless at first, but only after tasting it carefully can you taste the slightest hint of sweetness.
As time goes by, the taste buds will become more and more sensitive, just to experience the short-term sweetness after the dullness.
This process is like only those who have endured hardships know how rare happiness is.
Therefore, only two people who have gone through such a process can go hand in hand for a longer time.
Therefore, true love and a long-term marriage do not necessarily have to be vigorous and vigorous in love. Often, happiness like a steady flow of water can ultimately allow two people in love to stay together for a longer time.
Zhang Ling thought of this and a happy smile appeared on her face.
She has determined that Li Xiang is indeed the best candidate for her first love substitute.
Because his views on finding a lover are exactly the same as those of First Love.
Facing Li Xiang's hot gaze, she lowered her head in embarrassment and said, "Little flea, don't look at me like that. It's embarrassing."
"Oh, because it's beautiful, I want to take a second look at it." Li Xiang's mood suddenly dropped, "Oh, if you don't like it, then I can only endure the love in my heart and stop watching it."
Men in love seem to be born with the ability to talk about love easily.
Li Xiang once expressed to her that she was his first love and would be his only one.
Now that she thought about it, the words he said back then were actually the most exquisite words of love.
Women, no matter when they like the one they love, will say some heart-warming love words in their ears from time to time.
As a woman, how could she not like it?
"No, it's not that I don't like it." She looked at the passersby on the road with some embarrassment, "It's just...it's just that I'm not used to hearing these words in public."
That’s right!
She met her first love in high school. Everyone was facing the college entrance examination, and the school was very strict about dating among students.
Therefore, their relationship has always been relatively private.
Even if the first love would say some love words from time to time, they would only whisper in her ear secretly. There would rarely be other people present.
"Really?" Li Xiang listened to Zhang Ling's answer and felt as excited as hearing that his grandma had recovered from the illness, "Then you must be ready."
Zhang Ling's face was a little blushing, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Li curiously and wanted to say: "What are you preparing for?"
"Be prepared to hear my true feelings for you anytime and anywhere in the future." He said with a smile.
"Disgusting!" It feels a bit like what the heroine An Jie said to Jiang Defu in "Parental Love".
But Li Xiang was not Jiang Defu, so he did not express that he liked hearing Zhang Ling say the word "hate" to her. He just continued to look at her with a smile and affectionately.
Aunt Zhang passed by at this time, and for the first time she saw Zhang Ling's shy look towards a boy. She said with a bit of provocation: "Lingling, what's wrong with you? Your face is as red as a red apple."
At this time, Li Xiang spoke as if he was afraid that others would not know his existence: "Hello, Aunt Zhang, I am Li Xiang. I am Zhang Ling's friend. I often heard her mention that you take good care of her. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you."
Express my sincere gratitude.”
Aunt Zhang listened to Li Xiang's expression and understood the meaning. She also saw that Zhang Ling did not deny this expression. It was not difficult for her to conclude that the man in front of her was Zhang Ling's boyfriend.
"That's right! Zhang Ling is just like my own daughter. She should take care of her." Aunt Zhang vaguely felt that Li Xiang looked familiar and continued, "You are Li Xiang, right? This is not the first time we have met. How do you think about you?
Does it look familiar?"
Li Xiang smiled and said, "Does it look familiar? Then maybe it was our fate in the previous life. Not to mention, I think Aunt Zhang is also very kind."
Li Xiang was not surprised by such words, because he had indeed been to Zhang Ling's place several times, and it was normal for Aunt Zhang to see him.
When Aunt Zhang heard these words, she instantly felt more favorable towards Li Xiang.
"Yes, yes! I like to hear this." Aunt Zhang looked at Zhang Ling again and said with a smile, "Lingling, you have found a good boyfriend. I really like Aunt Zhang, but I don't know when you will have a banquet and get married. ?”
