half thorns, half joy

Zheng Yifan's face suddenly darkened.

"I know it's difficult for you, and I don't want to force you to do this, but... my family is really curious..." Seeing Zheng Yifan's face change, Ye Nan felt a little uncomfortable.

She knew that Zheng Yifan didn't want to see her friends and family, which meant that Zheng Yifan didn't want to get too close to her, whether it was as a friend or as a developmental object.

The deep-seated reason is that Zheng Yifan is avoiding suspicion.

Although Zheng Yifan couldn't be blamed for this, and Zheng Yifan didn't do anything wrong, but Ye Nan just felt uncomfortable and panicked.

"Hey..." Zheng Yifan sighed.

In fact, Ye Nan's feelings are correct. The reason why Zheng Yifan rejected Ye Nan outright last time was because of this reason.

In Zheng Yifan's view, bringing friends of the opposite sex to meet friends and family is no different from introducing his boyfriend to these people. Of course, he is not with Ye Nan, and he is not narcissistic enough to think that Ye Nan means it.

He just couldn't pass the test in his heart.

Seeing that Zheng Yifan was so entangled, Ye Nan could only surrender to reality, she lowered her head, quickly picked up the last porridge in the bowl, and whispered: "Forget it, forget it, I will tell my family about it myself, no It’s so embarrassing for you, Brother Zheng.”

"..." Zheng Yifan looked at Ye Nan who was pretending to be strong, and was speechless.

"It's getting late, Brother Zheng, hurry up and go to work!" Ye Nan finished drinking the porridge, put down the bowl and raised his face, and the nonchalant smile returned to his face.

Zheng Yifan felt awkward looking at it, but he hummed anyway.

Obviously he didn't do anything bad, but why did he feel so uncomfortable seeing Ye Nan's forced smile, why did he feel that he was sorry for Ye Nan.

This emotion, until Zheng Yifan went out and drove to the company, still lingered in his heart.However, the company had a lot of work after all, and he didn't have time to think about it all the time, so he focused on his work.

After the morning meeting, he turned on his phone and saw the WeChat message from Ye Nan.

Ye Nan: Brother Zheng, I finished cleaning up. Just now I took the oranges to the clinic and got anti-inflammatory injections. They said that the oranges are recovering very well, so don’t worry!
Ye Nan: Then Brother Zheng, I'll go home first. I've already made the oranges. I wrote down the preparations and posted them on the refrigerator!

The last piece of news is a photo of Tangerine sleeping peacefully.

Zheng Yifan looked at the small ball, and the corners of his mouth turned up. He never thought that one day he would raise a cat, and it was an adopted cat.

Fresh and warm.

Suddenly, Zheng Yifan changed his mind.

He sent back a good letter to Ye Nan, and then typed: You can arrange your time, I work during the week, and I have been working overtime recently, and I only have time on weekends.

Ye Nan sent a question mark: What time is the arrangement?
Zheng Yifan: The time to meet and eat with your family members.

On the WeChat side, Ye Nan settled down everything about Zheng Yifan, and took a taxi home. While sitting in the taxi and scrolling through Weibo, she received a message from Zheng Yifan.

When Zheng Yifan said that she was having dinner with her family, Ye Nan was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed happily, almost jumping on the spot.

She couldn't even jump off the spot, she was in a taxi after all.

She took a few deep breaths, the phone flew up, and tapped on the screen of the phone: OK, then I'll go back and ask my brother and sister-in-law to see when they have time.

Zheng Yifan: Yes.

Ye Nan: Thank you, Brother Zheng!Brother Zheng, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble!
Zheng Yifan looked at Ye Nan's exclamation mark and smiled slightly.

When facing Ye Nan, he always has a feeling that he is an uncle and is already old.Ye Nan is lively and cute, sometimes a little witty, while he is like a middle-aged man, boring and old-fashioned.

No, no, he used to be boring and stuffy, nothing interesting.

Otherwise, they would not clearly like Tang Xuan to death, but still pretend to be Tang Xuan's friend, and just stay by Tang Xuan's side like that.

If he could be more interesting or more aggressive, would it change the ending between him and Tang Xuan?

Thinking of this question, Zheng Yifan's mood, which had been happy for a few minutes just now, became extremely depressed again.He lowered his face, put his phone aside, and continued to work.

Only by devoting himself to work can he forget these things.

……

Ye Nan bounced back to the villa, and greeted every nannies she met with a sweet smile. Her enthusiasm scared the nannies to look at each other, not knowing what happened.

She ran to the kitchen to squeeze a glass of juice by herself, and then went upstairs humming a song. She was not a person who could keep things in her heart. As soon as she went upstairs and entered her room, she sent Tang Xuan a WeChat message.

Ye Nan: Sister-in-law, there is progress!

After 2 minutes, Tang Xuan replied: What's the progress?
Ye Nan: My pursuit has made progress!

Tang Xuan: Smile.JPG, is this the reason why you didn't come back last night.

Ye Nan: Shaking my head. JPG, no, no.

Tang Xuan: That's it?
Ye Nan: I went to see him yesterday, and then he brought home an injured kitten. I went to the pet hospital with him, bandaged the kitten, and slept with him when it was too late.

Tang Xuan: Then?
Ye Nan didn't tell himself: Then nothing happened, he lives in the master bedroom and I live in the second bedroom, sister-in-law, don't think too much about it.

Tang Xuan: (*￣︶￣) I didn't think much about it, you said it yourself.

Ye Nan: Maybe my performance made him feel good. I told him to meet you this morning, and he agreed hahahaha.

Ye Nan: Sister-in-law, please tell my brother, prepare for a time, and you two will meet!
Tang Xuan: Okay, no problem. I'll tell your brother when I get back tonight.

Ye Nan: Thank you sister-in-law! mua! (*╯3╰)
Tang Xuan: Mua, I'm going to work first.

Ye Nan: Okay, sister-in-law, you are busy!
After chatting with Tang Xuan, Ye Nan hugged the quilt and rolled around on the bed several times. She didn't know what was wrong with her. Zheng Yifan just agreed to have a meal together, and she was already happy to take off.

I really can't believe that if Zheng Yifan agreed to be with her, would she die happily?

"what……"

After rolling, Ye Nan looked at the chandelier and let out a sigh.

Although I haven't started falling in love yet, when I really like someone, this feeling of happiness that fills my whole heart is really wonderful.

She really didn't expect that after she was 20 years old, she would still have the feeling that teenagers in adolescence would have.

But suddenly, she was sad again.

She was a little scared, afraid that if Zheng Yifan would not like her, if all her efforts would be in vain, if no matter what she did, she would not be able to win the person in Zheng Yifan's heart.

If that was the case, she was really afraid that she would cry to death then.

Hey……

Love really makes people happy and sad...

……

In the evening, near the end of get off work, a colleague came over and patted Zheng Yifan on the shoulder: "Yifan, let's go out for a drink tonight."

"You know I don't go out for drinks..." Zheng Yifan refused with a smile.

"I don't want to go to the bar. I want you to eat sushi and drink some sake. I heard that there is a new Japanese restaurant in the square. It's very authentic. Let's try it."

Before Zheng Yifan answered, the phone rang several times.

He picked up his phone and saw that it was a WeChat message from Ye Nan.

Ye Nan: Don't work too late, remember to go home early, Orange is waiting for you at home!

Ye Nan: Also, when you get home, remember to change the water for the orange and shovel the cat litter for it!

Only then did Zheng Yifan realize belatedly that he is not alone now, and there is still a baby waiting for him to go back home.

So, he turned to his colleague helplessly and apologized, "No, I have to go home."

"Who are you going back to? I think you're dating a woman. Hmph, you're a guy who values ​​sex more than friends." The colleague teased deliberately.

Zheng Yifan smiled helplessly: "Stop talking nonsense, what a date..."

Just as he was talking, his colleague snatched the phone from him, and instead of looking at the chat history, he clicked on the profile picture.

"Wow, big beauty."

"Wait, isn't this the last time we went to the bar, the girl sitting with you, and you said it had nothing to do with that girl, you big liar."

Zheng Yifan snatched the phone back from his colleague, and glared at him unhappily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Hurry up, Yifan, you're in a hurry, which means I'm right!" The co-worker sighed exaggeratedly, "Hey, you're so lucky, I'm so envious of you, when will I Only then can there be such a beautiful girl. Forget it, I'm going to date someone else, and have a sad drink tonight."

The colleague said that he went to find someone else, Zheng Yifan lowered his head and looked at the profile picture of Ye Nan opened by the colleague on the phone.

Ye Nan changed her new profile picture again, it was a selfie of sitting in a taxi, with makeup and hairstyle, not a co-worker bragging, but really beautiful.

Although Zheng Yifan doesn't like girls with heavy makeup, he has to admit that Ye Nan's facial features are very good, not the Xiaojiabiyu type, but the European and American type.

Realizing that he stared at Ye Nan's photo for too long, Zheng Yifan tapped his phone uncomfortably, switched back to the chat interface, and replied to Ye Nan's message.

Zheng Yifan: Got it, I'm going home now.

As soon as he sent it, Ye Nan replied.

Ye Nan: Alright, on the way back from get off work, be careful.

Zheng Yifan didn't know if the tone of such instructions was too intimate, he just felt a little overwhelmed.

But after thinking about it, I still replied to the message.

Zheng Yifan: Got it.

The message was very simple, which completely failed to reflect the turbulent waves in Zheng Yifan's heart.

After going back, Ye Nan didn't reply.

Zheng Yifan packed up his things and drove home after get off work.

While waiting for the red light, he ordered a takeaway for himself.According to the time calculation, the takeaway will arrive in about ten minutes after he arrives home.

Zheng Yifan has done this many times. His life is simple, and he doesn't pay much attention to food, so he wants to take it easy.I never thought there was anything wrong with living like this.

But today, inexplicably, the image of having dinner with Ye Nan yesterday kept flashing in his mind.

Warm and lively...
