Li Xiang felt warm in his heart after receiving the gift.

He followed his secretary's advice and put it on immediately when he returned to the office.

He looked at himself wearing a tie in the mirror with a somewhat proud smile, and from time to time he praised Zhang Ling for her good taste and said that the color of the tie matched him very well.

He also fantasized about role-playing, standing in front of the grooming mirror and playing two roles.

Zhang Ling: I have chosen this tie for you for a long time. Do you like it?

Li Xiang: I like it!

Zhang Ling: (pretending to be angry) Your reaction is so bland.

Li Xiang: (smiling with full emotion) I like it, I really like it!

At this point in the performance, he felt that the context was wrong.

So, he tried several more contexts but felt there was something wrong.

What went wrong?

He fell into a brief thought...

The office door made a muffled sound.

Li Xiang's thoughts were interrupted and he turned his head to look over. Chen Jian rushed in with an unhappy look on his face.

He didn't care why Chen Jian was unhappy, and continued to admire himself in the mirror and said:,

"You don't recuperate in the hospital, and you always run away. Alas, I think your injury may not be cured for a while."

Looking at Chen Jian's posture, he looked like he was here to ask questions. Maybe the two of them would have a friendly exercise in the office to relax each other's muscles.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jian was standing next to Li Xiang, looking at Li Xiang in the mirror and saying with a somewhat appreciative smile:

"Hey, this tie is quite beautiful!"

"You think so too?" The happiness in Li Xiang's smile became even stronger.

Chen Jian nodded and said:

"Well, that's right! It makes me feel itchy, and I want to buy a pair of the same style for myself."

"Then buy it! No one can stop our Mr. Chen from being free and happy." Li wanted to say.

Chen Jian said:

"Who gave it to me? Can you tell me where I bought it?"

Li Xiang was a little shocked when he heard Chen Jian's answer.

Because in the past, if he used words such as "chic and happy" on Chen Jian.

This guy must be furious and argue with him.

"You're wrong!" Li Xiang looked sideways at Chen Jian and questioned.

Chen Jian pretended to be calm and said:

"I'm still the same me as usual, what's wrong?"

Li Xiang took two steps sideways, looked carefully from top to bottom for a while and said:

"Nothing is right."

"Oh?!" Chen Jian thought he had disguised himself well.

I didn't expect that Li Xiang would see something.

Li Xiang continued:

"First of all, your sudden return is by no means an accident. You must have received some news before you came back. Secondly, with your ability as Chen Jian, you don't know where I can buy my chest tie? You don't even bother asking me for my address.

.Finally..."

Li wanted to stop talking at this point.

He turned around and walked to the rest area of ​​the office, sitting on the sofa with a calm expression and sipping tea.

Chen Jian then sat aside, unable to wait for Li Xiang's last message, and eagerly snatched the tea cup from Li Xiang's hand and asked:

"What's the last thing? You should tell me quickly!"

Li Xiang's hand that originally held the tea cup reached out to Chen Jian's forehead, touched it and said:

"It's weird, you don't have a fever! It makes no sense that you don't know what I'm going to say next. Hmm... It seems that this Yan Yuan has really damaged your brain."

Chen Jian impatiently pushed Li Xiang's hand away from his forehead and said:

"Screw you. Forget it, if you don't want to tell me, I don't want to know now."

There are some things that should never be said explicitly between brothers.

Because the content of some words may touch the other party's bottom line, and speaking out will cause cracks in the brotherhood between them.

Chen Jian guessed that he had deliberately refused to cooperate, and the purpose of causing the snail noodle incident had been known by Li Xiang.

I would like to ask, which man can tolerate his brother sparing no effort to beat the mandarin ducks?

Even if he knows that his brother does not covet the person he loves, he still cannot bear to have his brother do this.

Only the feet know whether the shoes fit, and only the person involved knows whether the lover is suitable for each other.

Therefore, Chen Jian's behavior, which Li Xiang did not express clearly, gave them an opportunity to maintain their brotherhood.

If Chen Jian wasn't a brainless person, he would naturally understand Li Xiang's painstaking efforts.

Li Xiang smiled in relief, it seemed that Chen Jian understood his intention.

He conveniently placed the tea cup that Chen Jian had taken on the coffee table in front of him. At the same time, he took out an empty tea cup, poured two cups of tea into it, took one for himself, and motioned to Chen Jian with a smile:

"Would you like to have a drink together?"

This is obviously a way of letting go of grudges by looking at each other with a smile.

Chen Jian also picked up the tea cup, touched it lightly like a drinking ceremony, and drank the tea in the cup with a smile.

After drinking tea, the two of them were speechless and sat quietly for a while.

Chen Jian was the first to speak: "I heard that Zhang Ling gave your tie to you?"

"Haha, why don't you pretend not to know now?" Li Xiang said in a somewhat teasing tone.

Chen Jian's face turned slightly red and he continued:

"I told you the meaning of a woman giving a man a tie. Since you have accepted Zhang Ling's gift, buddy, you must give a gift in return. Otherwise, it will be too unmanly."

Li Xiang listened to Chen Jian and was very moved by the tone of his words.

I couldn't help but feel a little jealous again that Zhen Lixiang could have such a good buddy.

Li Xiang hesitated slightly and said:

"Oh, I know! It's just..."

His first thought was to hold flowers in hand and deliver them in person, just like in the movies.

Chen Jian once said that when a man gives a gift to the woman he loves for the first time, he should never give flowers.

He ignored Chen Jian's point of view.

Not long ago, I just sent it away on the pretext of making amends for my grandma.

After sending it off, he deeply regretted it when he saw Zhang Ling's reaction.

It makes sense to realize that Chen Jian is a pseudo-emotional expert.

Because many girls are highly sensitive and have social anxiety, giving them such big and shiny things will only make them feel very stressed in front of everyone.

At that time, Li Xiang felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he saw Zhang Ling who was under pressure.

Chen Jian continued naturally:

“I just don’t know what to give?”

"Yeah!" Li Xiang nodded slightly, "Do you have any better suggestions?"

This time he felt that Chen Jian must have really come up with the idea.

Chen Jian looked at the empty teacup in front of him and gestured with a bit of pride:

"Is this how you ask for help?"

Listening to Chen Jian's words, Li Xiang felt angry in his heart.

This kid actually took it easy.

However, he had the failure experience of sending flowers last time, and now he is really at a loss to give gifts.

I could only suppress the anger in my heart, force myself to put on a professional smile and say:

"Okay! You are right, when asking for help, you have to look like you are asking for help."

As he spoke, he personally filled the cup in front of Chen Jian with teacup, held it in both hands and delivered it to him and continued:

"Brother, if you have any good ideas, just tell me."

Chen Jian took the tea cup from Li Xiang's hand, drank it in one gulp with great enjoyment, then smashed his mouth and said:

"Well, it turns out that tea tastes really good when you drink it like this."
