Weekends are the favorite days of office workers. There is no need to listen to the alarm to get up, rush to eat breakfast, catch the bus and subway, not to mention the need to face the complexity of the work to see the boss’s face. So, for those who are thirsty and sleepy because of their busy work schedule, the person who comes to ring the doorbell early in the morning on weekends to disturb their sleep – even if he is an angel, he should have his wings broken. But, what if the visitor is a devil? Should his devil horns be broken or his inverted triangular tail plucked?

A sleepy-faced Dumpling stared at the door for a few seconds at this point, then lowered her head to look at the hand she was gripping on the door handle, considering whether or not to fling the door shut.

The other party seemed to read her mind, coldly, “Don’t you dare.”

Tuanzi subconsciously shrank her shoulders, she was still afraid of this person, even if the person in front of her had already been taken in by her best friend, it didn’t mean that this person was any less dangerous.

“Looking for, looking for my family clip? He went to buy breakfast.”

Shan Yanxiu looked behind her, “Xiao Xiao, did she come here?”

“Xiao Xiao? Tooth?” the troupe wondered inexplicably, “Why would she be here early in the morning?”

Shan Yanxiu wrinkled his eyebrows and was about to wriggle out of the way when he was coldly dragged by that little nub.

“Tooth is missing? Can’t be found? How many days has it been? Did you guys have a fight? Or did she find out that you cheated on her? Bastard, did you hit her?”

Shan Yanxiu admired himself for not chopping this noisy dumpling over with one hand, perhaps it was because he had been cultivating himself for a while so his temper and patience had grown, “I didn’t hit her, I didn’t cheat on her, and we didn’t have a fight.”

Tuanzi felt that the other party’s attitude was still okay, so his tone was much softer, “She didn’t come to me and didn’t give me a phone call. The …… teeth won’t leave for no reason, either there is something urgent, or …… it’s just that her heart doesn’t feel good.” She looked at him oddly, “If she wants something, she likes to stay alone.”

Shan Yanxiu was a little uncomfortable by her look, rarely seen uncomfortable, his voice was also smaller than before, but still stubbornly emphasized, “We didn’t quarrel.”

“Who knows?” Tuanzi rolled her eyes, “Anyway, it’s always you who aggravates her before she leaves. Tooth never just loses her temper unless you’ve pissed her off too much.”

He persisted in his denial, “I didn’t.”

“What a tough-talking sandpig.” Tuan muttered in a small voice, “Why don’t you come in first, I’ll go make some calls and see if she’s run off to another friend’s house.” Although the chances of that were low, it was better to confirm.

A few phone calls turned out to be grainy. Disappointment was clearly written on his face, and he immediately stood up to leave, the group stopped him and said it’s useless for you to look for her like this without a clue, why don’t you think about where she might have been?

Where can she go?

There are only a handful of places in this city where she could have gone. Her former residence was the first place he went to look for her, and it was empty. Then there was her company, where there was only one receptionist on duty on weekends, and the office was empty. He couldn’t think of any more places she could have gone, her life was always fixed in so many places, most of the time she always stayed quietly by his side, the two of them spending time together. And now that she was gone, he couldn’t pinpoint her location in the first place, and he didn’t even know why she had left.

He was certain she wasn’t in distress or taken by anyone. Her departure was planned, with a few pieces of clothing missing and her wallet gone. It wasn’t impromptu or an accident, she had planned it.

The more he thought about it, the more his chest tightened.

At the moment when he was upset, Hua Xian came back. He was carrying a thermos bottle in one hand and a bunch of freshly fried fritters in the other, a very homely man’s look. When he saw him, he smiled and lifted the pancakes, saying that we should have breakfast together. The fried ones here are especially good, try them while they’re hot.

God knows how much effort it took him to restrain himself from flattening Hua Xian’s face into a doughnut, “No need, I’m in a hurry.” He and Hua Xian originally did not have any friendship, and the only few times they had come and gone were just for work matters. Shan Yanxiu is very clear that he and the other party whether in the temperament in or in the character are far apart, now but because the two hostesses of the family’s personal relationship is very good, so closer than before Xu, but the relationship between the two men is only stopping at the generalized.

Hua Xian didn’t get angry at his hard refusal, but just smiled slightly, “Relax, I think she just can’t figure it out, so why don’t you give her some time. As for you, think about it too.”

Shan Yanxiu’s eyes as black as ink and jade narrowed, he had always been a person with a strong aura and never hid his emotions, so at this time he looked not only hostile but also aggressive. He stared at Hua Xian for a long time before slowly saying, “What do you want to say?”

Hua Xian subconsciously glanced back, and Shan Yanxiu’s gaze also moved behind him. Only to see that Tuanzi was currently clinging to the side of the door, a pair of round eyes staring up at them with great concern. That tense expression was as if she would immediately pounce on Hua Xian the moment something happened to him.

He couldn’t help but have a moment’s lapse, he had seen such an expression on her face before. That concern, that nervousness, all because it was worrying about him. He remembered the brazenness with which she’d raised the ashtray to him, and the way she’d cried and cried so hard she’d nearly collapsed while Bailey held her hostage.

He didn’t understand why she had to leave without saying goodbye when they had been through so much together and the dust had settled by this point.

Some women are lions, she is strong and aggressive, unless they are also lion-like men, otherwise they can not conquer her. Some women are rabbits, supple and well-behaved, used to curling themselves into a ball of cotton and staying quiet. Occasionally there are also mischievous times, but only need a little soothing can be subdued.

Shan Yanxiu thought back to what Hua Xian had said to him, and the other man’s face was clearly written with mockery, without malice.

My family is a rabbit, Hua Xian spoke with a smile in his eyes, white and small, ears and long, likes to inquire about the east and west, chattering and noisy, but never tired of hearing. Your family, however, is a small civet cat, look at that look quite cunning, in fact, but some silly, belonging to the kind of recognition even if the wall will not turn back type. Against such, can not be tough, have to coax.

Single Yan Xiu heart is very unhappy, do not know how to remember the other day and she watched the DVD together, which has a line like this: you do not compare with me, I can not stand other people and I compare. Said the words at the same time also from the back of the draw up a machete to, cold light flash. At this time, he felt empathy, feel that he also can not stand some of the other side seems to analyze the problem in fact disguised show love practice, really want to cut people.

But must admit that the other party said very reasonable.

A few days ago his own behavior was impulsive and reckless, compared to his previous behavior is really out of shape, can even be said to be out of control. He admitted that he had been jealous that day, after watching that ill-intentioned man sit with her in such an intimate manner, and chatting with her, and she had even taken a hold of the food that had been handed to her. Maybe it was out of politeness, or maybe she really liked those white, soft pastries, but at that moment he was furious.

After that day’s intense **, she yelled at him for not being a thing, and said that she would have no face to see others. He did not think, said even if it was downstairs that pair of siblings heard to go and what’s the big deal, that pair of siblings themselves are not clean, but also care about them so much gossip. She was very excited to hear it and pounced on him, tearing and biting, scolding him for not knowing shame, OOXX was heard and still so proud. He was full of food and drink mood is just right, just listen to her so wailing quarrel for a night, from protest to the back of the aggrieved sobbing, finally she is exhausted before going to sleep. He assumed she was in a fit of anger, and that once she’d vented, she was fine. And now that he thought about it, maybe she had never swallowed that anger and just kept it bottled up until now.

It was indeed a mistake on his part to use the same tactics against a lion as he had used against an outwardly strong civet cat. But this is not his fault, in his decades of life experience, once worked together or spent time with only a few women. Only a few women, and all of them were lions. He was used to conquering and plundering, and never wanted to explain himself. In his mind, actions speak louder than words. He was too confident and strong, thus ignoring her feelings, which was indeed his fault.

But, wrong as it was, it was even more wrong for her to leave without saying goodbye.

The last place he looked was the small city they had been in before, and after hours of driving on the highway, he finally made it before the sun sank in the west.

When the silver-gray sports car pulled up in front of the old neighborhood, he saw her sitting under a tree not far away, chatting happily with a group of people and holding a half-eaten corncob in her hand. She laughed merrily, and her clear, loud voice choked into him like ice, freezing his lips, clogging his throat, and exasperating him so much that he couldn’t speak.

He was practically smoking out of all seven orifices right now, and all he could think about while he was driving earlier was her. Thinking about how she would be angry, how he should be coaxed, how to review himself. His head was so big from thinking about it all the way there, just trying to say all those mushy, cajoling words was enough to make him stop and throw up several times halfway through the trip.

He thought that when he saw her, she must be in bad spirits and her eyes were swollen like peaches from crying. How could he have imagined that she would look like this now, which can be regarded as a dragon’s vigor.

She is really a good person! He thought, he was worried for a night, and then look for a morning, and then and crazy like racing a afternoon, I do not know ate a few tickets. And here she was, laughing and chatting with people like nobody’s business, and having the nerve to nibble on corn on the cob. To know that he hadn’t eaten since last night and had been starving until now.

He watched as she laughed and laughed as she finished chewing on that corn cob, followed by another corn cob from her bag. He couldn’t sit in the car any longer, and with a huff, he pulled the door open and walked over with such vigor.

Ya Xiao knew it was only a matter of time before he found his way here, she just didn’t expect him to come so quickly. Moreover, it was also fierce. She knew it was wrong of her to leave without saying goodbye, but she could never swallow that breath. This man always did things according to his own preferences, without any regard for her mood. The bad news is that the selfish self-cum-bullying, typical chauvinism. To put it nicely,……, there are no good words to describe it.

She just looked at him full of huffing and puffing came over, but also do not move, just so sit. She planned, if he dared to mess with her here, she would never rest easily.

The closer Shan Yanxiu got the more he saw the expression on her face, from surprise to composure. While the surrounding crowd’s murmurings were from small to large, buzzing together – the gossiping masses never let go of a dogged scene.

Shan Yanxiu finally stood in front of her and lowered his head, his gaze just falling straight into her eyes. There was a slight reproach in his gaze, but it was more of a relaxation and relief.

She half tilted her head up to look at him, no fear in her eyes. Her lips pursed into a stubborn line, but the corners of her mouth twitched a little imperceptibly, still a little nervous.

The confrontation between the two lasted nearly two minutes. During this time, the buzzing chatter around them was still unending. Versions ranged from a husband who dumped his wife after getting rich and now regretted chasing after her to renew their previous relationship to a cold-hearted debtor who couldn’t force a debt and captured a person to cover the payment, and for thousands of years, the people’s imaginations have always been winged and have never flown without boundaries.

She had been tilting her neck and was finally feeling tired. So her body paused backward and asked, “What are you doing here?” Her tone was raw, but there was more of a gamble in it than a cross-examination. The man standing in front of her didn’t answer her right away, and she straight away felt that he was so angry with her that he couldn’t speak.

On the side of the second eldest mother is not hold a grudge, just wanted to say a word of persuasion and then was shocked by the situation in front of her, almost did not roll down from their own small horse.

Only to see the man in front of her slowly crouched down, and in the end even half kneeling. Even she was so shocked by this sudden move of his that she slurred her words.

“You, you …… what are you doing?”

The man’s hands dragged her, his head slightly tilted up just so straight into her eyes. His expression was soft and sincere, even his tone was soft beyond words…

“Xiao Xiao, don’t be angry. Come home with me, okay?”
