Baby, come to my bowl

Because the dishes were very homely, it didn't take long for the two of them to eat comfortably.However, it takes a long time to cook chicken soup, so Xia Chen's plan is to take Tao Yan to drink afternoon tea after dinner—no, afternoon soup.

Xia Chen hadn't put on his watch until now after washing the dishes, and Tao Yan, who was a bit unhappy because of this knowledge, flashed in his mind, so he was more in a bad mood when he was silent than usual when eating.

It wasn't until Xia Chen put his wet left hand in front of Tao Yan with a cheeky smile after washing the dishes that Tao Yan had a more moving smile on his face. He obediently helped him put on his watch and looked at the warm smile on his face Tao Yan suddenly felt that the warmth of these two days seemed to be able to withstand the coldness of these years.

"Do you have class in the afternoon?" The two were sitting on the bed watching TV, Xia Chen sat beside Tao Yan, half hugged each other, and whispered in Tao Yan's ear.

"No." Tao Yan felt that his ears were a little moist from Xia Chen's whole treatment, and couldn't help but feel hot on his face.

"Oh, that's good." Xia Chen put his chin on Tao Yan's shoulder and watched TV.

"What's the matter?" Tao Yan turned his head, seeing the perfect profile face in front of him getting hotter, he hurriedly turned his head back.

"Well, in this way we can cultivate our relationship!" Xia Chen said honestly.

"How to train?" Tao Yan asked subconsciously.

"I don't know!" Xia Chen replied bluntly, "Anyway, I want to stay with you."

Tao Yan smiled, letting the other person's face rub against his own.

"Which team do you think will win this game?" Xia Chen rubbed Tao Yan's smooth side face and asked.

"Team A." Tao Yan said.

"Why?" Xia Chen heard the affirmation in Tao Yan's tone, and asked curiously.

"The level is obviously higher than that of Team B," Tao Yan gave a look of "Can't you tell?", "But if you meet Team C, you can't be sure."

"You have a lot of research on football! I thought you only liked to read books!" Xia Chen suddenly wanted to sigh. He really didn't know this man very well. It seemed that he was obviously unqualified to be a boyfriend!

"I'm also a man." Tao Yan glanced at Xia Chen, because his face was pressed against him, if he turned his head...or he didn't.Men like sports more or less, but some people like to participate by themselves, while others just like to be onlookers. Tao Yan obviously belongs to the latter.

"Can you tell me what you like?" Xia Chen made up his mind to keep Tao Yan's preferences in his heart, but if he wanted to know the other person's preferences, asking directly was the best way.

"Huh?" Tao Yan was taken aback, Xia Chen's thinking jumped a bit, and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm, "What do you think?"

"Well, let me think about it," Xia Chen thought about the details of the two of them getting along, and concluded, "You like to read books, and you like to be alone quietly; Soup; you don’t care much about fruits; you like to wear dark clothes but light colors suit you better; you often wear casual clothes but you can’t hide your elegance; you are not good at words so you like to listen, and you get a headache when you listen to others It will be slightly tilted to one side; now... there are many things I don’t know, right? Tell me all about it!”

Tao Yan's face remained unchanged, but his heart was fluctuating because of Xia Chen's words. The two hadn't been together for a long time. How did he know so many of his own preferences, some of which he didn't even know clearly: "How do you know?"

"I noticed it before," Xia Chen shrugged, "Is there anything else I missed? Supplement!"

"..." Tao Yan really wanted to add a few words, but he didn't know what to add.

"Oh, that's right! Through yesterday and today, I also know that you like desserts and football..." Xia Chen thought of Chu Qiange's various provocations yesterday, and felt really upset. He spoke dully, but he didn't want to make it difficult for Tao Yan, Anyway, people are their own, as long as they don't marry her.

"..." Tao Yan thought for a while, but still didn't think he had anything to add, so he could only change the subject helplessly, "You don't have to go to work?"

"I don't need it recently! And I'm usually not too busy, Tony is mostly busy!" Although Xia Chen is famous for his seriousness at work, only Tony, his assistant, knows his willful characteristics, so every time Xia Chen relaxes Tony is always busy everywhere, what Xia Chen needs to do is to draw his thoughts when the inspiration comes, and look for inspiration when the inspiration is not there.There's really nothing to do recently, Xia Chen is also happy and leisurely, pestering the men around him can be said to be his most urgent task at present.

Tao Yan remembered that he had heard Qiange mention Summer's name before, and it seemed that he had spent a lot of effort in hiring Summer.It's just that if Qian Ge knew that the man she hired with a lot of money was such a lazy person... I don't know how she would feel?

When mentioning Xia Chen's work, Tao Yan would always think of another man, and after enduring it, he still asked: "You and Chen Hao..."

Xia Chen immediately straightened up and turned to Tao Yan, and explained with a serious face like a frightened bird: "We have nothing to do with each other!" Just kidding!The two of them just happened to be together, at this time, I can't let the scandal that has haunted me for three years spoil my good deeds!

Tao Yan looked at Xia Chen's nervous look, and chuckled lightly: "It's not this, it's about your jobs."

"Oh," Xia Chen relaxed, and leaned against Tao Yan like a boneless person, "What's there to talk about at work? I'll design him to go on a show!"

Tao Yan bit his lower lip, it felt like he was singing along.

"How do you work together?" Tao Yan asked clearly, with an unnatural color on his face.

"Eh?" Xia Chen could clearly see the expression on Tao Yan's face, as if... upset?There was a burst of joy in my heart, and I quickly explained my acquaintance with Chen Hao, and Tao Yan was very surprised by the first sentence he spoke.

"My acquaintance with Chen Hao is actually due to you."

☆, 28. Questions of doubt

"I was in graduate school at the time, but I started studying fashion design in the year I took a leave of absence after my senior year in high school."

"You dropped out of school?" Tao Yan frowned, "Why?"

"At that time, my parents asked me to study abroad first, and the visa was completed, but I didn't want to. I just came back after studying abroad for a year in fashion design that I was interested in. Fortunately, I still have my student status at A University, otherwise I It's really going to be a tragedy!" Xia Chen smiled and talked about his experience, as if it was a joke that had nothing to do with him.

"It's not easy for people who can stick to their preferences." Tao Yan commented seriously.

"Yeah, originally my dad asked me to go abroad because he wanted me to study management and return to China after finishing my MBA to help him manage the company, but I didn't want to. Fortunately, my brother is helping me secretly." Speaking of this, Xia Chen smiled and blinked.

"Well, next?"

"Eh?" Xia Chen realized that he seemed to have changed the subject, and after a sudden realization, he went back to the main line, "When I met Chen Hao, he was already a model. We met on the street. I will notice He is because his figure is very similar to yours, although your temperament is not the same, but I still took a few more glances."

"When I met again, I was looking for a male model. It must have been a psychological effect at the time. I still hope to find a male model with a figure similar to yours." Xia Chen coughed lightly, his eyes flickering with embarrassment.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Tao Yan finally had a deep smile on his face, and there was a different expression in the corners of his eyes and brows.

"Chen Hao was found by me at that time. Although he had been trained, he didn't have a good opportunity to catwalk because of his thin body. When I suggested him to be the male model of my first men's fashion show, he didn't even think about it. Agreed. In fact, he was not the only male model in my first men's fashion show. It may be due to empathy. I paid more attention to Chen Hao, and the number of times I contacted him for catwalks began to increase, and his own strength was also improving. There, it gradually developed into my exclusive model for men’s clothing.”

"As for the gossip reports from the gossip reporters, it was mainly caused by the mystery created by me not showing up. At the beginning, many people speculated that Chen Hao was Summer, but after it was officially confirmed, it was only after Tony made a public statement that this guess was suppressed. After we came down, it gradually became rumored that Chen Hao and I were actually a couple, and that Chen Hao was out of the closet. It is not unreasonable for the media to speculate like this. As for why they have not clarified..."

Speaking of this, Xia Chen gritted his teeth, and the voice of gnashing teeth sounded particularly crisp in Tao Yan's ears, "I don't want to show up, so that kid took the opportunity to use me as a shield, so as to reject those men who secretly seduce him!"

"Pfft!" Tao Yan couldn't help laughing. Xia Chen's words had completely wiped away the shadow that had shrouded his heart. It was as if the wet cotton was illuminated by the warm sun and the excess water evaporated, leaving only Nuan Nuan. Soft comfort.

"So..." Xia Chen said with a smile, "Don't be jealous!"

"I didn't." Tao Yan said calmly, but his ears were slightly red.

"No need to quibble," Xia Chen smiled like a sneaky cat, tapped Tao Yan's red spot with his fingertips and said with an evil smile, "You don't know it yourself, it will turn red when you are embarrassed!"

Tao Yan couldn't say anything to refute, as if confirming the other party's words, his ears became more and more red, and even his face seemed to be burning.

"You didn't bring a head teacher this year?" Xia Chen learned from Wen Jun that the final grades of the whole class at that time were unprecedentedly excellent. Logically speaking, it is impossible for such a teacher to be let go by the school!

"Not this year." Tao Yan shook his head, the class he led last year finally graduated, and he just took advantage of this time to rest.

"That's fine, you're good at everything, but you're working too hard, and you don't pay attention to your body, so it's better to rest with some burden." Xia Chen hugged Tao Yan with some distress, always feeling that this man's body was much thinner .

Tao Yan responded with a warm feeling in his heart.

"By the way, the soup should be ready, I'll go and have a look." After Xia Chen finished speaking, he let go of Tao Yan's tight arms and got off the bed.

After Xia Chen and Tao Yan finished drinking a bowl of soup each, Xia Chen resumed his previous posture, hesitated for a long time, and whispered in Tao Yan's ear: "Actually, I've always wanted to ask..."

"What?" Tao Yan asked strangely.

"Hmm..." Xia Chen turned Tao Yan to face himself, his cheeks were slightly red, his eyes were a little erratic, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't utter a single syllable.

"Huh?" Tao Yan was even more surprised.

Stared directly by Tao Yan's pure eyes, Xia Chen couldn't ask any more questions, scratched his head, asked Tao Yan for a pen and paper, wrote big characters on the paper and handed it to Tao Yan, the embarrassment in his eyes couldn't be ignored.

Tao Yan took the note, and after seeing the words on it, blood surged up, his whole body seemed to turn red, and he refused to lift his drooping head.

Seeing Tao Yan's reaction, Xia Chen relaxed a lot, and couldn't help asking with a smile: "How is it?"

Tao Yan raised his head abruptly, his flushed face and moist black pupils faced Xia Chen's already relaxed face: "What do you think?"

"I don't know..." Keke, do you still need to ask if you know?Xia Chen looked embarrassed, but what appeared in his mind were some imaginative images, so the embarrassment on his face became more obvious, well, he blushed again.

"You answer me..." Xia Chen said coquettishly after he collected his thoughts.

Tao Yan blushed and decided to ignore him.

A thought-provoking question was wrapped in the crumpled paper.

I have no experience, did you have any pain at that time?

☆、29. We will be fine

Chen Hao's return to China was just to give Xia Chen a show. Yilian Clothing mainly focuses on women's clothing, so it didn't take long for Chen Hao to fly back to Milan to participate in another show.This made Xia Chen really relieved.

Xia Chen didn't get bored with Tao Yan for a few days before he was urged to go home to draw sketches by Tony's urging phone call, and besides drawing sketches, he had to go out and walk more. Tony said that since Xia Chen has already appeared in front of the media, it is inevitable to sign in on many occasions.To this, Xia Chen just wanted to say: Ahhh!It's better not to show up!

I've been so busy lately!Xia Chen couldn't help but wryly smiled, recently he could only call and send Tao Yan occasionally, it felt really painful!

After working so hard for nearly half a month, Xia Chen finally finished what Tony specified, and looked at the time, it was early morning again!Xia Chen hurriedly checked the location of the movie theater online, wrote it down and happily fell asleep.

Xia Chen, who was able to get up early after staying up all night, got up very early the next morning and excitedly called Tao Yan, but he was a little embarrassed when he spoke: "Are you free tonight?"

"Yes, why?" Tao Yan's voice was clear, and there was an infinite smile in it.

"Let's have dinner together and then watch a movie at night?" Xia Chen suggested enthusiastically, and he specially checked it. Today is just the weekend, and there will be many movies shown in the cinema at night.

"...Okay." Tao Yan replied after a pause.

"Then when will I pick you up?" Xia Chen asked.

"What time is it?"

"Well," when it comes to eating... "Six o'clock?"

"I had classes at that time." Tao Yan said apologetically.

"Then just watch the movie! Let's meet at the entrance of the Dream Theater at 08:30 in the evening."

"Row."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Chen rummaged through the closet for a long time, and after trying on clothes for a long time, he finally chose his favorite black and white pairing, and put it by the bedside to change into it at night.With a happy face, he moved to the kitchen to look for something to eat. At this time, Xia Shi was still under the kitchen.

Xia Chen took an apple and gnawed it while asking, "Brother, didn't you go to the company today?"

Xia Shi glanced at the proud Xia Chen and smiled gently: "I also want to rest, I thought you wouldn't get up, and almost didn't do your part."

"Tsk tsk, brother, whoever marries you is considered lucky, what a skill!" Although Xia Chen can cook by himself, he ranks second to last in his family, and the last one is of course his own chef. Incompetent dad.

"You're not bad either." Xia Shi poured some cold water into the boiling water, "Tell me honestly, have you been in a relationship lately?"

"Brother, did you see it?" Xia Chen scratched his head, "Yes!"

"Is the other party a man or a woman?" Xia Shi asked sharply.

"Man..." It's still your buddy... Xia Chen didn't finish his sentence, he wasn't quite sure if he would bring too much impact to his brother.

"How is the other party?"

"He's fine." Xia Chen narrowed his eyes with a smile, and when he thought of Tao Yan, his whole body felt warm.

"Don't tell your parents in a hurry, tell them when you are stable." Xia Shi said without raising his head, his hands kept moving.

"Brother, thank you." Xia Chen really didn't expect that he could gain understanding, and for a while, he didn't know what to say except thank you.

"What can I thank you for? You are my brother!" Xia Shi smiled, "Pass me the salt."

"Oh!" Xia Chen obediently helped Xia Shi, and secretly learned the craft by the way.

Xia Chen came to the cinema an hour earlier, and watched several movies that will be screened tonight, all of which have a good reputation, one has been watched by himself, and the ending is quite touching, but the other three are not clear.While waiting, Xia Chen found that there were quite a lot of people coming today. Thinking that today is the weekend, he was afraid that there would be no tickets for sale after Tao Yan came, so he simply bought all the movie tickets for lovers seats, lazily leaning on the Columns and others in the corridor of the cinema.

Tao Yan, who was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and silver slacks, immediately grabbed all of Xia Chen's attention as soon as he appeared in Xia Chen's line of sight. Looking at the man walking slowly and gracefully, Xia Chen was suddenly glad that he was so lucky After hurting the opponent, there is still a chance to own the opponent.

"What do you want to see?" Xia Chen led Tao Yan to the poster and asked.

"What about you?" Tao Yan turned his head to the side, asking for Xia Chen's opinion.

"I'm fine," Xia Chen smiled, "You choose first, and I'll go buy some snacks next to you."

When Xia Chen returned to the original place with a bottle of juice, a bottle of Sprite and a bucket of popcorn, Tao Yan frowned slightly and said, "I asked the ticket office, all the movies are out of tickets."

"You just need to tell me which one to watch." Xia Chen smiled mysteriously.

"This one." Tao Yan glanced at the poster in front of him, he had never had a chance to watch "Brokeback Mountain", this time he might as well watch it together with Xia Chen.

"Oh? This? Okay!" Xia Chen rubbed his nose, it happened to be the one he had watched, and took out the ticket from his pocket, "Here."

Tao Yan glanced at the ticket in Xia Chen's hand, couldn't help laughing and said, "You bought them all?"

"Yes," Xia Chen shrugged, "Let's go, the time is almost up."

"En." Tao Yan responded with a smile, and walked in with Xia Chen.

When Xia Chen first found the seat, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the couple seat was a sofa for two people. He was so happy that he took the lead to sit aside, and after seeing Tao Yan sitting beside him calmly, he asked, "Which one do you drink?" ?”

"Sprite."

Tao Yan took the Sprite, unscrewed it, raised his head and drank a few sips, his Adam's apple slid up and down with the movement of swallowing, Xia Chen watched Tao Yan's movements and was about to say something when the lights of the cinema suddenly dimmed, leaving only The light projected on the curtain dimly illuminates the auditorium.

Tao Yan stopped drinking water, and then naturally screwed on the bottle cap and placed it between himself and Xia Chen.After Xia Chen finished drinking the juice, he also placed it in the same place. As the movie started, both of them focused their attention on the big screen in front of them.

When seeing some passionate scenes, Xia Chen's face became hot, and he looked at Tao Yan beside him with a guilty conscience. Isn't it weird that Iwako doesn't blink?

Tao Yan just looked at the camera in front of him, some memories came to his mind, his head was free to think about some things, the roots of his ears were so hot, when he turned his head, he realized that Xia Chen had been looking at him for some time, he was embarrassed for a second :"how?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Xia Chen rubbed his nose, picked up the water and drank it. The cool taste made him realize that what he drank was actually Sprite. Then he remembered that Tao Yan had drunk it just now, his face burned, his lips and teeth There seems to be some other flavor in the room.

Halfway through the movie, Tao Yan's cell phone screen lit up, as if it was a text message.When Tao Yan lowered his head to read the text message, Xia Chen inadvertently turned his head. Under the light of the phone's fluorescence, his already white face became even paler. For some reason, Xia Chen's heart sank.

With the development of the movie plot, both of them gradually dispelled those charming thoughts, and their mood gradually became heavy.Tao Yan's heart clenched little by little following the conflict between the two in the movie, and his hands suddenly felt warm. When he turned his head, Xia Chen's face was right in front of him: "We will be fine."

Tao Yan looked back at Xia Chen, held Xia Chen's hand for a long time, and nodded slightly.

☆、Thirty. Pregnancy

After the movie ended, the two of them were not in a very relaxed mood, but the hands they held did not separate, and they did not let go until they walked out of the movie theater.

Xia Chen drove Tao Yan back, when the two people in the car were sitting in the car speechless, Tao Yan suddenly said: "I have something to tell you."

"Huh?" Xia Chen asked casually.

"I still want to marry Qiange."

Before Tao Yan could finish his sentence, Xia Chen slammed on the brakes, parked the car on the side of the road, and turned his head with very dangerous eyes: "What did you say?" Who was it that promised himself not to separate from him a few minutes ago?

"Don't be nervous," Tao Yan chuckled, "The main reason is that my father is having a hard time. After marriage, I have a reason to transfer the company's shares and inheritance relationship to Qiange's name, and then just get a divorce."

"Okay." Since we have waited for each other for five years, why not wait?

A few days later, Xia Chen was sitting at home resignedly listening to Tony's order to screen the results of his previous battles. After receiving an invitation letter from Tony, after reading the contents of the invitation letter, he looked at him and smiled. With a treacherous face, Tony thumped his forehead: "Why should I go?"

This is obviously Chu Qiange's personal invitation!It is impossible not to go to a typical Hongmen banquet, but if you go, you may not be able to come back!

"How would I know!" Tony waved his hand and said innocently, "I just helped send an invitation, not sending you a red crest!"

This is more terrifying than Crane Crown Red!A drop of cold sweat oozed from the forehead of Xia Chen, thinking to himself.I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling...

Xia Chen came to the box of the coffee shop designated by Chu Qiange on time, Chu Qiange didn't look up, and slowly stirred the coffee and said, "Sit down."

Xia Chen sat down as he said, ordered a cup of his favorite latte and took a sip. Seeing that Chu Qiange on the opposite side had never spoken, he called out a little uneasy: "Qiange, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Xiaoyan told you that I still want to marry him, right?" Chu Qiange's voice was slightly hoarse, making Xia Chen puzzled.

"I told you." Xia Chen nodded, but the suspicion in his heart gradually increased.

"Since you agree that he is married, why continue to interfere with his life?" Chu Qiange asked, "Homosexuality is still not recognized in this society. Do you let him live in the dark?"

Chu Qiange finally raised his head, his glamorous face was covered with tears, which shocked Xia Chen, and quickly handed over the tissue next to him: "What's wrong with you?"

Do strong women cry sometimes?Xia Chen was really taken aback. After much deliberation, Tao Yan was the only one left between the two of them besides work. Could this woman be so reluctant to let Tao Yan go?Then he couldn't help laughing, didn't he not let go after five years?

"I," Chu Qiange wiped the marks on his face, choked up and said, "I'm pregnant."

"It's Tao Yan's child."

Xia Chen froze all over, the spoon in his hand slipped and hit the porcelain coffee cup, making a crisp and abrupt sound.After calming down, Xia Chen said hoarsely: "Does Tao Yan know?"

"He doesn't know. I didn't tell him the reason. Marriage is just a way for me to protect the child in my womb, so at least he doesn't have to be charged with being an illegitimate child." Chu Qiange smiled miserably, put his hand on his belly that was not visible, and opened his eyes But staring at Xia Chen firmly.

"I never knew that I would one day snatch my man from a man. It's incredible. You will bless us, right?" Chu Qiange had hope in his eyes.

right?Xia Chen didn't know either, he lowered his head, his mind went blank, somehow, remembering his promise to Tao Yan, his heart suddenly became more courageous, he raised his head and said, "Why don't you let Tao Yan know?"

Chu Qiange was taken aback before saying, "I don't want to burden Xiaoyan..."

"Then why are you so sure that my leaving him will lighten his burden instead of increasing it?" Xia Chen thought of the plot in the movie, and there was a layer of sadness in his eyes.

"That is to say...you won't give up?"

"It's not like I won't give up," Xia Chen said in a deep voice, "As long as Tao Yan chooses you, I will let go, but you can't stop me from loving him."

"Is that so..." Chu Qiange lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Enough is enough..."

Chu Qiange raised his head again, the smile on his face was as bright as the sunshine outside: "Oh, I didn't expect you to be so infatuated with my Xiaoyan!"

"Eh?" A drop of cold sweat dripped down the back of Xia Chen's head. Could it be that this girl was too frightened and lost her mind?

Chu Qiange's hand that had been hanging behind the table finally lifted up, holding a bottle of... potion?Xia Chen said that his understanding is limited.

"I won't tease you anymore, congratulations on successfully passing the test!" Chu Qiange laughed loudly, and the crisp laughter was more beautiful than Nightingale's singing.

"Ah? What?" Xia Chen scratched his head and suddenly understood, "Test?"

"Yes!" Chu Qiange was full of smiles, "Just now I have been brewing for a long time but I haven't burst into tears. If it weren't for this bottle of eye drops, I wouldn't be able to cry at all!"

"What's going on?" Xia Chen could vaguely guess something, but he was still confused.

"I'm not pregnant. I came here mainly to see what you think about my Xiaoyan. I'll give Xiaoyan to you because you are barely qualified!" Chu Qiange waved her slender hand, quite like a big sister. "As for saying I'm pregnant, it's just an excuse to test you. Don't worry, Xiaoyan and I are not even married, let alone getting engaged."

"Really?" Xia Chen said pleasantly, "Then before he..."

"That's because I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hide the matter, so I even lied to him, Ann!" Chu Qiange finally picked up the coffee in front of him and drank it beautifully, "It tastes really good! It's a pity that it's a bit cold!"

"..."

Although the process makes people feel unbearable, the result is still very beautiful, Xia Chen couldn't help but smile slightly.

☆, 31. Don't let me down

Xia Chen's face is full of red recently, and he is proud of the spring breeze. It feels so good to feel that the road to love is smooth sailing!Since getting Tao Yan's key, Xia Chen seems to regard Tao Yan's apartment as his own home, rushing to Tao Yan's place to chat with him from time to time, sometimes just stay there and watch him!For this reason, Xia Chen has met many teachers on the first and second floors several times, which made Tao Yan somewhat embarrassed.So the two discussed and tried to choose a more suitable time to meet. In most cases, it is better to go out to meet.

Chu Qiange did not know what method he used, but actually made the parents of the two families cancel their engagement, which made both Xia Chen and Tao Yan heave a sigh of relief.With Tao Yan's acquiescence, Xia Chen specially called a few close friends to announce his relationship with Tao Yan.result……

Tao Mengran was drinking fruit juice, but he choked on it, his little face flushed from coughing: "You, cough cough, you, cough cough!"

Tao Yan patted his old sister's back lightly, his thin lips tightly pursed into a line.That's right, he was afraid that Mengran wouldn't be able to accept it, but he didn't expect Mengran to say "Xia Chen, you've finally awakened!" after she calmed down.

When Tao Yan didn't know how to reply, Xia Chen leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Meng Ran knew I liked you five years ago."

"It's good if you can achieve a positive result." Len Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"That's right, Xia Chen, I really don't know what you thought five years ago, just left like this!" Tony hugged Len, "Five years, look at how sweet we are now, we can be considered an old couple, You were just together!"

"You all know?" Tao Yan asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, otherwise, why do you think we asked you to come and pick up Xia Chen in the middle of the night at that time, but it turned out to be unbelievable!!!" Tony had a look of resentment.

"Can we stop mentioning it?" Xia Chen smiled awkwardly, feeling a little weird that his background had been exposed, "The most important thing is your blessings to us, okay?"

"Wait, that Qiange..." Mengran complained as if remembering the point, "Xia Chen, could it be that you snatched sister Mengran's fiancé's mistress?!" It was just the smile in Tao Mengran's eyes that betrayed everything.

"..." Xia Chen was speechless, Mengran, who knows the truth, why do you have to stir up trouble here? !

During the conversation between several people, Xia Chen was called out of the box by Tao Mengran alone. Mengran's indifferent and defensive expression was exactly the same as before: "Xia Chen, are you serious this time? You have to know, my brother can't afford it."

"I'm serious," Xia Chen smiled. "Give me a chance to prove it. I was too cowardly before. I won't let go of his hand now."

"You know what?" Tao Mengran's eyes suddenly went blank, "During the few days you just left, my brother kept looking at his phone, and he didn't even take care of himself for eating and drinking. If I hadn't taken the time to look at him and found After his abnormality, maybe he will be like this..."

Tao Mengran's eyes suddenly turned red: "When I saw him, there was a lot of brilliance in his eyes that I had never seen before, but his complexion was very bad, and he was a little thin. I was worried about him, so I took him to my place. Anyway, he has a nanny who can take care of his daily three meals, but he still holds his mobile phone."

"After school started, my brother still had to go back to the school apartment. I was fine at that time, and I often went to his place to deliver some food." Own."

"I will never forget that time when I saw him, he was curled up on the sofa, holding his mobile phone, with tears in his eyes, as if...was abandoned by the whole world, I asked him what's wrong but he didn't know anything Said. In those few days, he obediently ate the meals I brought, but he was silent from beginning to end, as if...he didn't exist anymore. "

"For some reason, my brother suddenly became enlightened and began to force himself to go out. At first, he was very uncomfortable, but then he gradually got better. Just at this time, when my father returned to China, he said, 'You should start a family' and let my brother start. Blind date with those wealthy daughters. It’s rare for my brother to meet Qiange. Qiange is a warm and charming woman with a cold appearance, and she treats my brother very well and helps him a lot. It was more dazzling before, and I can see it all."

"Originally they were going to get married, friends, it doesn't matter if they don't interfere with each other after marriage, but I didn't expect the news of my brother's engagement to reach your ears, after all, you disappeared for five years," Tao Mengran said meaningfully , "Not even a little contact, for five years."

"The world is so small. You are actually working in Qiange's company now. After learning about your famous name, my first thought was: Why do you want to come back? I have to say, your three-year-old scandal made me feel very sad." Disgusted, I even think it’s good for my brother and Qiange to be together, because if you don’t put your feelings into it, you won’t get hurt.”

"But my brother hasn't let go. I can see it. It's just that I have resentment towards you and I don't want you to know, but I didn't expect...you are still together." Tao Mengran sighed deeply.

"Let's stay together, don't make my brother feel bad, you are my friend anyway, I really don't want to hate you." After Tao Mengran finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving Xia Chen with red eyes hanging down. He clenched his fist silently, pinching the palm of his hand with his nails, as if this could divert the pain in his heart.

When Xia Chen finally returned to the crowd, Tao Yan looked at Xia Chen who was shrouded in sadness, and called out in doubt: "Xia Chen?"

Xia Chen sat beside Tao Yan, and hugged Tao Yan suddenly, his strength gradually tightened, as if he wanted to integrate him into his own flesh and blood.

After all, Tao Yan was thin-skinned, and his ears turned red in an instant. He glanced at the ambiguous eyes of his friends and shouted, "Let go!"

"Don't let it go," Xia Chen raised his head, his red eyes met Tao Yan's embarrassing black eyes, "I won't let it go again!" As if to prove his words, Xia Chen's lips stuck to Tao Yan's. Rocky, light strength, contains a heavy commitment.

Tao Yan's face suddenly became hot, and he glanced at the other three people who had already turned their heads away, especially in front of his old sister, who always felt very embarrassed, right, old sister?

"What did Mengran tell you?" Tao Yan glanced at his sister, who was fine, she turned her face away and did not make any eye contact with him.

"It's nothing." Xia Chen's voice was slightly hoarse, "It's so comfortable to hold you like this!"

"..." Tao Yan couldn't help thinking, had he been molested?They looked at their own state, then at Len, who was also hugged by Tony's bear, and exchanged a helpless look, the warmth in their hearts could not be dissipated.

Thinking about it carefully, I grew up in an environment that lacked love since I was a child, so I don't need to mention my father, and that woman... Even if she wanted to, she was also repelled.He loves Mengran, and Mengran relies on himself, but dependence does not mean caring. Perhaps for him, care and love are the warmth that he lacks the most.

Tao Yan glanced at Xia Chen who was hugging him and refused to let go, and thought: Xia Chen, I've given you this chance, don't let me down.

☆, 32. Confession

Xia Chen is standing in front of his elder brother now, thinking of what he wants to say, he really doesn't know where to start.

Xia Shi patiently waited for his brother to speak, but Xia Chen's eyes wandered and his face looked weird, but his mouth just couldn't utter a single syllable.Looking at the time, Xia Shi had no choice but to remind: "Brother, it's been 15 minutes, if I don't say anything else, I'm going to the company!"

"and many more!
