gentle reunion

Xiang Xiang leaned on the table and looked towards Xu Zan: "What kind of date? It can't be a date to talk about work, right?"

Xu Zan ignored him, and replied to Lan Tianran's message with a smile: "Okay, I'm talking about something with Lao Zhao, and the talk will be over soon, see you later."

"Who do you fancy? A man or a woman?" Xiang Xiang asked persistently.

Zhao Hong pushed his glasses.

Is Xu Zan's private life so messy?

"No one, don't guess." Xu Zan put down his phone and picked up the documents again.

Xiang Xiang leaned on the table and looked at Xu Zan: "I think you really have a crush on someone."

"Oh, just think what you think." Xu Zan flipped through the information quickly, and then looked at Zhao Hong, "Sun Zhe must continue to stare, Wang Ting and the Wang family can't relax."

Zhao Hong nodded.

He knew that Xu Zan's heart disease was actually mainly on Wang Ting, because the prosecution period for the intentional injury back then had not yet passed.

As for Sun Zhe, whether he attacked Xu Zan commercially or blackmailed Xu Zan online, neither of them attacked Xu Zan's vitals, and could not have a significant impact on Xu Zan.

"Brother, what enmity do you have with Wang Ting?"

"A small problem, I have already resolved it here." Xu Zan said, "But I'm worried that he won't be able to let it go."

"Looks like you made him miserable."

"Generally speaking, isn't he doing well now?" Xu Zan put down the information and said, "Wang Ting hasn't gone to Mantianxing anymore?"

Xiang Xiang shook his head: "No."

"Will Kong Xichen go to Mantianxing?" Xu Zan asked.

"You actually know an idol singer like Kong Xichen?" Xiang Qu was surprised.

"I know about the beam, he is one of the bosses of the beam."

"Oh. He came here with his friends just once last week. He was nice, not cold, and sang several songs for us."

Xu Zan didn't ask any more questions, and stood up: "I'm leaving. Lao Zhao, please take care of Xiang Xiang; Xiang Xiang, don't trouble Lao Zhao."

Zhao Hong: "Okay."

Xiang Xiang: "Got it!"

As soon as Xu Zan left, Xiang Xiang immediately complained about him: "He has said all the good things."

Zhao Hong looked at Xiang Xiang. He was not much younger than Xu Zan, but his mental age was really much younger.

"He didn't just say nice things, from what I saw, he was really nice to you.

Xiang Xiang smiled: "That's right, I'm a little sun, he's an iceberg, and I melted him too!"

Zhao Hong: "..."

Coming out of the office, Xu Zan saw a tricycle selling flowers parked on the opposite side of the road.

The nearby area is relatively old and lifelike, with low-rise buildings and narrow roads. Xu Zan looked around, found a space without cars, and crossed the road.

There are many jasmine flowers on the tricycle, all of which are small bunches, fresh and white, with a strong floral fragrance.

Xu Zan guessed that the small vase at Lan Tianran's house could hold two bunches, so he picked two bunches with a lot of flowers.

Upstairs by the window, Xiang often took a look outside, and happened to see Xu Zan walking back across the road with a bouquet of flowers - he was going to the parking spot to pick up his car.

Xiang Qian jumped to the window and looked down: "Old Zhao, come and see, my brother bought flowers!"

"Huh?" Zhao Hong got up, and Xiang Xiang lay down by the window and looked downstairs.

Xiang Xiang: "I just said he fell in love with someone! He won't admit it!"

Later, Xiang Xiang also went downstairs and brought back a bunch of small flowers for Zhao Hong: "It's quite fragrant. I heard that Jasmine can refresh your mind, so I brought you a bunch."

Zhao Hong: "...Thank you."

"Long time no see." Xu Zan walked towards Lan Tianran.

"I won't see you for a few days." Lan Tianran invited him in.

After entering the door, Xu Zan put down the flowers, filled the vase with water, and then arranged the flowers, without Lan Tianran intervening in the whole process.

After inserting the flowers, Xu Zan placed the flowers on the display rack, and then adjusted the position carefully from side to side.

Lan Tianran looked at him and said, "When a colleague got married, the bride took a long time to choose the bouquet, and the groom was devastated."

"Really?" Xu Zan didn't realize that Lan Tianran was actually talking about him, and asked, "What flower did you choose in the end?"

"A bouquet of many kinds of flowers mixed together, holding it in your hand is like holding a potted plant."

Xu Zan laughed, stopped tossing the bouquet of jasmine, turned to look at Lan Tianran: "I will think of your words when I see the bride holding a bouquet in the future."

The two went to the sofa together, Lan Tianran sat down first, Xu Zan did not sit down, but walked to his side: "Let me see how your injury is."

Lan Tianran was prepared for this, so he pulled up his trouser legs without hesitation.

The wound had scabbed over and looked like a black patch.

Xu Zan bent down to look at it, and said, "Don't touch it, wait for it to fall off by itself."

Lan Tianran: "Okay. Is Lao Zhao's injury healed?"

Xu Zan got up: "It's basically done. It just so happens that you and Lao Zhao were injured on the same day, and they were all related to me. My life is tough enough to overcome people."

Lan Tianran: "It's just a coincidence."

He didn't understand why Xu Zan would say such superstitious words.

Xu Zan looked down at him: "I know, but I'm still a little frustrated."

"Oh." Now Lan Tianran can understand, because he has felt this way before.

——Rationally, you know it’s not your fault, but occasionally you think, if it’s not my fault, then why did these things happen to me?

He held Xu Zan's hand: "I just know that if you weren't there, I would definitely be hurt more seriously."

Xu Zan took a step forward and leaned over. This suggestive movement made Lan Tianran hug him reflexively.

Lan Tianran's hand landed on Xu Zan's back, the firm texture and warm body temperature, a series of tactile sensations were quickly transmitted to his hand.

At the same time, the scent of jasmine, laundry detergent, and Xu Zan's own hormones rushed over.

Lan Tianran froze for a moment, pushed Xu Zan away, and Xu Zan retreated cooperatively.

Lan Tianran was at a loss, he was out of control again, and his symptoms were getting worse.

Xu Zan didn't do anything, he suddenly hugged each other, and suddenly pushed him away...

When Lan Tianran was in a trance, Xu Zan felt guilty, was he too deliberate just now?Is it already approaching the tolerance line of Lantianran?

Hurry up and turn the page, Xu Zan looked at the few beautiful boxes on the coffee table, and changed the subject: "What is this?"

Lan Tianran looked at those boxes, and said after a few seconds delay: "Some small things I bought when I was on a business trip - buy them first when you see something suitable as a gift, and when you need to give someone a gift in the future, you don't have to think about what to give. What."

It was a very practical life lesson for him, as he is very bad at dealing with such things.

Xu Zan: "Oh. Can I watch it?"

"Look."

Xu Zan opened a small box. The things inside looked like coins. The main body was silver, but part of the pattern on it was inlaid with gold. The carvings were very exquisite, and it was worth a lot of money at first glance.

"Commemorative coins?"

"A handicraft, I bought it when I thought the patterns engraved on it were good."

Xu Zan took a closer look and recognized it. The patterns on it were all fairy tales, such as the little mermaid, Snow White and so on.

"Who are you buying this for? Song Minmin?"

Xu Zan felt that Song Minmin was really a big threat, Lan Tianran bought her bags and these gadgets for her.

Lan Tianran: "Xiaotao can do it too?"

"Ah, yes, Xiaotao should like it."

Song Minmin's threat weakened.

As for Xiaotao, she has Li Yintian, so she is safe.

"Do you think it's suitable as a wedding gift?" Lan Tianran asked.

Xiaotao and Li Yintian will probably get married this year or next year.

Xu Zan: "It's ok, it's totally ok, you're too hardworking, and even bought a special gift. When I go to a wedding, I just wrap a red envelope."

"Really? But you will bring flowers here when you come to me."

"It's different." Xu Zan said with a smile, "How can coming to your place be the same as going to a normal friend's wedding?"

Lan Tianran looked at Xu Zan, and suddenly got up and walked away as if stabbed by the smile on his face.

Xu Zan was slightly taken aback, and then stood up.

"Do you want something to eat?" Lan Tianran walked towards the kitchen.

"You can figure it out, you know, I'm easy to raise, I can eat anything." Xu Zan followed up in the kitchen and asked, "Naturally, do you know anything about Xin'an City?"

He didn't want to find out about Sun Zhe through Lan Tianran, but just wanted to find a topic, and it happened that Xin'an City was floating on the surface of his brain's memory layer, so he brought it up for chatting.

"Which matter?" Lan Tianran stood in front of the open refrigerator, hesitating as if standing in front of a supermarket shelf.

"As for the resignation of Guo Xin, the chairman of Xin'an City, do you know the inside story?"

Xu Zan walked over and looked into the refrigerator with Lan Tianran. The ingredients were very rich. It should be that the aunt just bought fresh ingredients and put them in the refrigerator today.

Xu Zan got too close, Lan Tianran was a little tense, and his voice tended to be serious: "Guo Xin is the founder of Xin'an City, but he holds very few shares. In order to ensure his absolute control, in his Under the control, Xin'an City's equity has been highly dispersed."

Xu Zan: "This is very dangerous."

"Yes." Lan Tianran said, "For many years, he has been proud of his checks and balances, but in the end it got out of control. Qinrui Group secretly acquired a large number of shares in Xin'an City, snatched away the control, and wiped him out. out."

Xu Zan nodded, looked at the ingredients in the refrigerator and said, "Shall we eat hot pot?"

"Now?"

Xu Zan took it for granted, "That's right."

"...The hot pot is the main meal, let's have it at night."

"Listen to you." Xu Zan said with a smile, "Then what can I eat at this time? Milk, bread, oatmeal and eggs should not work. They are breakfast, not afternoon tea, right?"

Lan Tianran hesitated, Xu Zan seemed to be teasing him?

Xu Zan withdrew his smile under Lan Tianran's gaze, and said solemnly: "Then let's eat fruit, which is something that can be eaten 24 hours a day."

Lan Tianran was sure that Xu Zan was indeed teasing him.

He smiled: "You can eat other things if you want, milk, bread and oats are fine. If you really want to eat hot pot, you can eat it now."

Before he knew it, he relaxed again.

"No, I want to eat fruit right now." Xu Zan picked out some fruits and brought them to the sink to wash, as if he was the owner of the place.

Lan Tianran watched him busy, and found himself idle after a while, but he couldn't intervene, so he continued to tell Xu Zan about Xin Ancheng.

"In general, it is difficult to hide the fact that someone buys a large number of shares from Guo Xin, so there is a guess that he may have lured the wolf into the house by himself."

"Oh? Why did he lure wolves into the house?" Xu Zan washed the fruit, took out his phone, and checked the recipe.

He put the phone very low, so Lan Tianran could see what he was looking at, and was immediately puzzled: "Are you looking up how to cut fruit?"

"I'll cut a bunny for you."

"……what?"

"Look at it."

Xu Zan put down his phone and started cutting apples.

Cut an apple into eight petals, flatten the bottom, draw a V-shaped notch on the back of each petal, peel off the upper part of the V-shaped peel, and then lift up the two sharp corners of the peel to make rabbit ears, and the rabbit is cut. up.

Xu Zan sent the first rabbit to Lan Tianran: "How?"

Lan Tianran looked at it and said, "It looks like a rabbit."

Xu Zan went a step further and sent the rabbit to Lan Tianran's mouth.

Lan Tianran hesitated, Xu Zan said with a smile: "Eat, it's not a real rabbit."

It wasn't a matter of real or fake rabbits, but Lan Tianran still bit the apple.

Xu Zan withdrew his hand, stroked his fingertips, lowered his head and continued to cut the fruit.

The kitchen is very quiet, the blade is cutting on the chopping board one by one, like the brisk footsteps left by time step by step.

Lan Tianran watched Xu Zan cut the fruit and chewed the sweet and sour apple in his mouth, feeling very strange in his heart, as if what he ate was not the apple pulp, but the apple seeds——

This seed lives in the fast-moving footage of the documentary. The hour hand on the clock rotates rapidly, and the green shoots unsteadily push away the soil that buried it, and grow up slowly, while the roots also drill deep.

Lan Tianran had chest tightness and shortness of breath, and coughed.

Xu Zan stopped his movements and walked towards him: "It's all right."

Lan Tian then backed away: "...it's okay."

Xu Zan paused and backed away to the cutting board, but still looked at Lan Tianran with concern.

Lan Tianran: "It's really fine."

"Ah."

Xu Zan lowered his head and continued to cut the fruit, the blade fell heavily.

After a while, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lan Tianran taking a few steps towards him, stopping at a place closer to him than before, and the ups and downs of the blade in his hand became brisk again.
