After casually taking a taxi, Tian Xiran returned home in a leisurely manner.
Although the first half of today's noon was all garbage time for Tian Xiran, the second half was still a success.
Moreover, until she entered the door, there was still a red mark on her face that had not faded away.
"too hot!"
She touched her face with both hands to manually cool down, and she did not forget to say, "I lied to myself."
"Why don't you go wash your face if it's hot?"
But a voice suddenly came from the room. If this voice wasn't so familiar, Tian Xiran would definitely be frightened.
"Chen Xi, you damn girl! You're going to scare people to death!"
Tian Xiran almost jumped up, and quickly covered his thumping heart again.
That's right, "again".
"There are too many surprises, but it's just a shock, you know, Chen Xi?"
Tian Xiran rolled his eyes at her and complained.
"Too many surprises? Do you have any other surprises today?"
Chen Xi, who was wearing slippers, asked.
"I, um, why are you here?"
After hearing this question, Tian Xiran turned to business.
"What's wrong? I can't come?"
As if he had regained some strength, Chen Xi sat down on the soft sofa as he spoke.
"Don't forget, I lent you half of the down payment!"
She leaned against the back of the sofa and said lazily.
"Yes, yes, I have not forgotten. How could I dare to forget Miss Chen's great kindness?"
After making a joke with her best friend, Tian Xiran also threw down her bag and lay down on the sofa.
The two of them have really been best friends since childhood. It is common for them to borrow money from each other and vent their anger on each other. However, it was precisely because Chen Xi lent Tian Xiran a large sum of money at "zero interest rate" that year, so
, Until now, Miss Chen still holds a key to Tian Xiran’s house.
"Um, why did Miss Chen remember to come to give guidance today?"
After waiting for a while and taking a sip of water on the coffee table, Tian Xiran asked.
"Humph, if I hadn't heard from auntie that you went out to eat with them, you would have been beaten by me today."
Chen Xi raised his fist and said very violently.
"Pfft, you're so awesome?" Tian Xiran laughed out loud, "You blame me for not hanging out with you on the weekend?"
"What do you think? I'm eating instant noodles alone at your house. Well, you go wash the dishes later!"
"Hey!"
Do I still have to wash the dishes for you?
Pointing at the other person's nose, however, looking at the other person's confident expression, Tian Xiran finally bent down.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault for not calling you, okay?"
But after finally giving in, she chose to add another sentence.
"Are you okay?"
Soon enough, Chen Xi threw a pillow at her.
"Go and wash the dishes for me first!"
…
Because the weather was too hot, the two of them chose to turn on the air conditioner and stay in the bedroom.
"What else can I do? I was wrong, and so was he. Or, to put it another way, actually, I was right, and so was he, but."
"It's wrong to be together, right?"
Tian Xiran glared at her.
"I'm not talking about the lyrics! This is the truth!"
Chen Xi snatched away her best friend's big bear doll and held it in her arms.
"Anyway, I have to accept this outcome even if I don't accept it! They have made greater sacrifices than me, so why should I blame them?"
Lying half-ly on the bed with her best friend, Tian Xiran could only nod after listening to her words.
"Oh, yes, of course, well, you know, I am a person. Anyway, I must have done something bad to you some time ago. I can't think of anything at the same time. That is, you must not..."
"Okay, okay, okay." Tian Xiran interrupted quickly, "Can I still not understand you? With your brain, let alone taking care of two people at the same time, you may not be able to handle one thing, right?
"
"Yeah." Chen Xi nodded bitterly, "Anyway, don't take it seriously, I--huh?"
Suddenly, she looked up again: "Are you hurting me?"
"Okay, okay, okay, I understand what you mean, okay? Now that you have figured out Bai Yu's matter, it is the best news for me. You don't have to worry about me. I will get along with you.
After all these years, if I had been more petty, I would have been pissed off by you. So, by the way, to celebrate you being happy again, let’s cheers!”
Tian Xiran took two bottles of soda from the bedside and handed one to the other person, Tian Xiran said with a smile.
However, when Chen Xi put down the big bear pillow, she just wanted to raise her glass, but after thinking about it, she put it down again.
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot. In fact, I came here today to care about your affairs."
"My, my business?"
With fear on his face, Tian Xiran suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Oh, don't be like this! I know, I was really a bit uninterested before. I didn't care much about a lot of things about you. But, well, otherwise, you just treat me as a punching bag, what do you have
Whatever you want to say, whatever you want to complain about, just come at me. Anyway, right, half the troubles and half less!"
Although at that moment, Tian Xiran was indeed afraid of this best friend who might be of no help, but after hearing what she said, Tian Xiran still showed a little touch.
"you……"
"Yes, that's what I mean. Just like when I was a child, although I may not be able to solve it for you, if you tell me, at least you will feel better, right?"
Holding the soda in her hand, Tian Xiran stared blankly at the person across the bed.
"Miss Chen, you have finally grown up."
…
"So what you're saying is that you still get angry when he does those show effects, right?"
Chen Xi sat upright on the bed, crossed his legs, and placed his hands in front of Tian Xiran's eyes, as if he was waving them all the time.
"Then did you tell him?"
"How do I tell him?"
Holding her hand down, Tian Xiran said melancholy.
"He has already explained this project to me in detail. Now, his program is so good, I, I, besides, I don't want him to stop!"
"Huh? Aren't you angry?"
"I, I must be angry when I'm angry. Those sisters are so good at talking and their voices are so nice. When they play games, you don't know how to protect them so well! But, if not like this, where would the show be?
What’s the effect?”
"Oh, I get it."
At this time, Chen Xi finally nodded.
"So, you hope he can make money, but you are really jealous when you see him surrounded by monsters like this."
"Who, who, who is jealous? Me, me, me and him, no, ahem, it's nothing."
"Isn't it? You are still not boyfriend and girlfriend with him?"
Chen Xi's words seemed to finally hit the point.
Even though the two of them seem to be very close, from the woman's perspective, she really can't admit something openly. After all, there is indeed a missing link between them.
"Well, it's really awkward, huh? You and him seem to be very close, but not that close. Some things go very naturally, but some things always seem weird. Hey, this kind of thing is neither better nor worse.
The feeling of not coming or not is just uncomfortable!”
"Hey, yes!"
Tian Xiran sighed.
But, "Huh? What nonsense words did you use?"
"Did I make a mistake? Isn't that what it is? Either you tell him that you can't stand it anymore and ask him to stop. It's good for him and it's good for you. Or, stop pestering him and let him go away.
Go and save yourself. Not only will you have no identity here, but you will also be tortured!"
