Some people say that as long as men in love are willing, any word they say to their lover can be turned into symbols of deep affection, making the lover who hears it absolutely intoxicated.
Of course, in Li Xiang's view, this sentence requires a premise, that is, the woman in love happens to also love the man in love.
From Zhang Ling's pale red cheeks and confused eyes, he could basically confirm that she was feeling a little tipsy at the moment.
Or maybe it's because she happens to be in love with him too.
So she didn't explain to outsiders that the "young couple" was a misunderstanding, as if she enjoyed the feeling of being misunderstood just like him.
Before, I felt resentful towards the restaurant owner for not uttering those few words of confession.
Now he felt a little grateful to the restaurant owner.
Because he felt that "young couple" used at this time would be far more effective in expressing his feelings than the few confessional words he had prepared.
Usually when couples eat together, you can always see girls putting all the meat in their bowls into boys' bowls on the pretext of losing weight.
But Zhang Ling and the others clearly saw that they were different.
Perhaps because of her father, she developed the habit of being doted on by men and not taking care of others. She only focused on eating the food from her own bowl.
Especially when he watched her eating the meat from the bowl, his expression was like that of a poor child in the 1970s and 1980s who was as excited as her food had finally improved.
He liked to see how cute she looked at this moment, and he couldn't bear to let her happy smile disappear soon.
When she saw a piece of diced meat suddenly appeared in the bowl, the smile on her face became a little sweeter, and a similar scene with her first love suddenly appeared in her mind.
She picked up the diced meat with chopsticks and said, "Ah, I forgot that little fleas don't like mutton. I'm sorry, then I can only feel aggrieved. Give me all the diced meat in your bowl."
"
Don't like mutton?
That's something Li Xiang doesn't like to eat, but I really like it.
He did not explain this. Instead, he accepted her somewhat domineering statement and smiled at her: "Okay, okay, I'll forgive you and eat more."
He shook his head, with a hint of happy helplessness in his smile, and took the initiative to pick out all the diced mutton in his bowl and put it into hers.
There were couples at another table. The girl saw Li Xiang's behavior, pursed her lips and winked a little unhappily and said, "Hey, honey, look at them."
The boy looked up slowly and said, "Look what they are doing?"
"Humph, I don't think I love you as much as I do." The girl said coquettishly.
Although the boy looked confused and didn't know why, he still explained nervously: "It's impossible. My dear, don't worry. I love you deeply. Let's not say that, okay? It's very hurtful!"
"I don't believe it!" He turned around and glanced at the boy.
The boy asked: "Then how do you want me to prove it?"
The girl signaled to Zhang Ling and Zhang Ling again and said, "You didn't pick up some of my favorite dishes for me to eat like other boyfriends do? I was always the one picking up the dishes for you to eat."
The boy finally understood the girl's intention and imitated Li Xiang...
Zhang Ling heard the couple's conversation and looked up at Li Xiang holding meat cubes for her. The image of her first love once again appeared in her eyes.
She also added a piece of diced pork and put it in Li Xiang's bowl and said, "Little flea, you don't have to give me all the diced pork. Even if you don't like eating it, you should eat some appropriately for the sake of nutritional balance."
Li Xiang looked at the diced meat that was returned in the bowl, feeling like a warm current starting from his heart and flowing to his limbs.
If you just listen to these words and look down at the diced meat she brought in the bowl, you will be filled with joy.
But he looked up and saw her eyes, clearly feeling that the happiness brought by these words did not belong to him.
There was only a hint of displeasure on his face, and then he quickly returned to a happy smile.
Or maybe he was too greedy for the happiness that Zhang Ling brought him at this time.
So let him rather choose the facts he wants to believe.
Therefore, he ignored looking directly into her eyes, and just facing her voice and appearance was enough for him to convince himself that her words were meant for him.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you." He agreed with a smile.
The couple's noise echoed in my ears again because of Zhang Ling's words...
at the same time.
My father temporarily left due to trivial matters with neighbors, leaving only Chen Jian and Yan Yuan at home.
The snail noodles were packed up and almost all of them were sent to the car.
There is currently only one box left at home that has not been moved.
I don’t know why?
They left this box of snail noodles and didn't finish moving it quickly.
Instead, Chen Jian's back was stepped on by Yan Yuan's foot, and he lay on the ground shouting "shrew".
She held her father's bamboo itch with one hand and tapped his butt from time to time.
Although he knew that he had fallen into the conspiracy of Zhang Ling and Li Xiang.
But at this moment, he had to regret it very much. Why did he get so many snail noodles in the first place? It was really harmful to others!
What's even more disgusting is that Zhang Ling, his best friend, is a nightmare to him. He will be beaten up every time they meet.
"Swear, keep scolding, if you dare to curse, I will spank you. Today I really want to know whether your mouth is tougher or your butt is tougher?"
Chen Jian finally shouted "it hurts".
He silently prayed to God to show mercy and save him from suffering.
He can guarantee that he will accumulate virtue and do good deeds and never do bad things again.
It seemed that God really heard his appeal.
Yan Yuan used a little too much force this time, causing her father's bamboo tickler to break into two halves.
"Oops!" Yan Yuan looked at the broken other half in shock and itched.
This thing is what my father enjoys most when he has nothing to do.
Now that I have been ruined by her like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to even step foot in Zhang Ling's house, let alone any more money.
Chen Jian was really a bit mean. When he saw the other half on sale and scratched it, he said with some pride in his laughter: "It's folded, it's folded, great, it's finally folded."
Because Chen Jian's words stimulated Yan Yuan's panicked nerves, the fire in her heart suddenly rushed to her forehead, and she raised her foot and kicked his butt hard regardless of the consequences.
A scream like a slaughtering pig sounded.
"Do you still dare to gloat about others' misfortune?" Yan Yuan scolded Chen Jian and found that he was already lying on the ground and no longer said a word, "Haha, now you finally stopped swearing? You should continue!"
Her emotions were briefly released, and her brain returned to a sober state.
She suddenly realized that there was a problem with the focus of this foot. It felt like she was stepping in the air without stepping on her butt.
But Chen Jian's heart-rending shouts proved that her foot had obviously stepped on something.
She moved her eyes to the foot she stepped out to confirm that she really didn't step on his butt, but stepped on the middle of his thigh...
broken!
She quickly retracted her feet, nervously leaned over and shook Chen Jian's body, and found beads of sweat still flowing down his painful and pale face.
Only then did she realize that she was too reckless!
The relationship between Zhang Ling and Li Xiang has become a foregone conclusion.
Now I just need an opportunity to get a marriage certificate.
This guy happens to be Li Xiang's best friend...
It was over, Yan Yuan felt like he had caused a big disaster!
Not daring to think about it anymore, he grabbed the unconscious Chen Jian's arm, pulled her back suddenly, and hurried out of the door...
"Hey, Yan Yatou, you are so energetic. Where are you going with a man on your back?"
Yan Yuan had no intention of answering the curious neighbor's questions. She gritted her teeth and only wanted to send Chen Jian to the hospital as quickly as possible.
Bistro.
They put down their bowls and chopsticks and drank tea from the big teapot and chatted together.
"Li Xiang, I have prepared all the birthday gifts for grandma. I wonder if this birthday..."
Li wanted to understand what Zhang Ling meant and then said: "Oh, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow is grandma's birthday. I came here this time just to tell you personally. I will pick you up the day after tomorrow in the afternoon."
"No. Just tell me where it is and I will drive there by myself." Zhang Ling decisively refused.
She didn't want any more rumors to spread because of Li Xiang's insistence on picking her up.
"The place grandma chose is a little out of the way. I'm worried that you might get lost..."
Zhang Ling insisted on her idea and said: "Impossible! I have a navigation system in my car. Tell me, where is it?"
"Oh, I'll send the address directly to your mobile phone when you get back." Li Xiang shied away.
He really doesn't know if grandma sent the address?
"Give it to me now." Zhang Ling urged impatiently.
Li Xiang hesitated and replied: "Okay!"
Under Zhang Ling's gaze, he took out his mobile phone and saw at a glance that there was no message reminder on the screen.
He knew in his heart that this was going to be the end.
Grandma's address hasn't been sent yet, and she can't just make up an address. What should I do?
He could only pretend to open the text message and the chat app for a while, silently praying to God in his heart, just asking his grandma to send the address as soon as possible.
After not waiting for Li Xiang's response for a long time, Zhang Ling finally couldn't help but ask: "Um... Li Xiang, don't you know the address too?"
"How is that possible?" He suddenly raised his head and argued.
Zhang Ling said: "Where? You should send it quickly!"
"Okay, I'll send it to you right now." Li Xiang said with a lot of sweat dripping from his forehead.
Zhang Ling was just about to say "I'm waiting", but she never thought that their cell phone ringtones rang at the same time.
Li thought it was grandma's text message that came just in time.
He was delighted and immediately sent it to Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Yan Yuan, and she felt a bad feeling welling up in her heart.
Because in recent years, Yan Yuan usually sends a video request when contacting her. It seems that direct phone calls have been a long time ago.
"I've sent you the address." He also saw the caller ID on Zhang Ling's phone and said, "Why don't you answer Yan Yuan's call? Answer it quickly! Maybe there's something urgent."
Li Xiang didn't know why he said such words. Maybe he had a premonition of something bad happening like Zhang Ling.
"Oh!" Zhang Ling came back to her senses because of Li Xiang's words.
Only then did she answer the call in front of Li Xiang. Before she could speak, she heard Yan Yuan's anxious voice coming from the other side.
"Zhang Ling, something happened, something big happened. What do you think we should do?"
"Something happened!" Zhang Ling thought of her old father first and shouted with fear, "What happened to my dad? Tell me quickly!"
"No, it's not my uncle, but something happened to Li Xiang's friend Chen Jian. We are all in the emergency department of the Third Municipal Hospital. Call Li Xiang and come here quickly!" Yan Yuan's voice sounded very helpless at this moment.
No matter how Li wanted to ask about Chen Jian, Yan Yuan just kept muttering the words "something happened".
Hospital emergency.
Zhang Ling was the first to see the helpless Yan Yuan, with hair soaked in sweat and messy stuck to her cheeks. She looked like she was out of strength. She was hiding in a corner and slumped on the ground, with her chapped lips squirming.
A kind-hearted nurse was worried that something might happen to Yan Yuan, so she stepped forward to ask for help.
Yan Yuan held the phone in his hand as if he was in a daze, and kept repeating "something happened". Even the doctor who came out of the emergency room at this moment could not affect Yan Yuan's emotions.
Li Xiang stepped forward to ask the doctor about the specific situation...
Zhang Ling came to Yan Yuan's side distressedly, held Yan Yuan tightly in her arms, and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, I'm here. Even if something happens, I'll take it with you, don't worry.
."
Zhang Ling's voice obviously had an effect. Yan Yuan no longer kept mumbling about "something happened". Instead, she cried like a child in Zhang Ling's arms.
The hospital is a place that needs quiet.
Yan Yuan's uncontrollable crying did not attract anyone from the hospital to dissuade her.
moment.
Li Xiang, who was standing aside, heard that Yan Yuan's crying had become much quieter, guessing that his mood had stabilized, and then he came to their sisters' side.
"that……"
Zhang Ling looked back at Li with a serious expression and wanted to say: "If you have something to do, can't we talk about it later?"
"That's not the case, don't get me wrong. I think Yan Yuan might want to hear this good news the most. In that case, I'll talk about it later." Li Xiang explained aggrievedly.
When Yan Yuan heard Li Xiang's narration, he immediately raised his haggard face covered with tears, stood up from the corner, looked expectantly at Li Xiang, who was about to turn around and left, and wanted to say: "Wait a minute, what do you want to say?
?”
Li Xiang stopped and looked back at Yan Yuan and said, "The doctor just said that Chen Jian is fine for the time being and will be pushed out of the emergency room later. But..."
"But what?" Yan Yuan's mood suddenly became tense again.
Li Xiang continued: "However, his injury is a bit special. He still needs to be transferred to a general ward for observation for two days. If his condition is stable, he can be discharged. It's just that Chen Jian himself doesn't want to tell his family about this. This care..."
This is Li Xiang’s little idea.
He always felt that Chen Jian had always been prejudiced against Zhang Ling because of his emotional intelligence, so he kept causing trouble for him and Zhang Ling.
He felt that Yan Yuan might be the best candidate to control Chen Jian.
He tried to create opportunities for Chen Jian and Yan Yuan to be alone. See if he could get Chen Jian to shift his attention to Yan Yuan?
Yan Yuan knew that she had caused a big trouble. If Chen Jian's parents found out, they would definitely not give her any good things.
So before Li Xiang could finish what he said, Yan Yuan volunteered and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it! It's up to me to take care of Chen Jian. After all, his injury was caused by me. I must be responsible to the end."
Zhang Ling said with some doubts: "But this is not a matter of one or two days. Your company is not going to lay off employees recently. It is not a good idea to ask for leave rashly."
"It's okay! Even if I get laid off by my boss, I have no regrets. Besides, I don't want to do that frustrating job for a long time." Yan Yuan insisted.
After Zhang Ling listened to Yan Yuan's words, she accidentally saw Li Xiang's treacherous smile.
At this moment, the door of the emergency room opened, and Chen Jian was pushed out by the nurse. She was temporarily interrupted to ask Li Xiang what his intentions were.
