The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 277 My best friend, don’t burn! (I went into the small dark room in the previous chapter)

As the night deepens and Christmas Eve and Christmas approach, Shanghai, a city dominated by fashion trends, is now filled with Christmas elements.

At Jian Xi's home in Puxi JA District, Lin Xiao and Lin Quan, both wearing red coats, were sitting together for dinner.

The two of them chatted casually, their minds already drifting somewhere else.

Lin Quan, who was eating in small bites, raised his eyelids and glanced at Lin Xiao opposite him. From time to time, the black lace panties he saw in the other's closet that day flashed in his mind.

This item was completely opposite to Lin Xiao's style, so Lin Quan didn't even have to think about what the other party was going to use it for.

Moreover... Lin Quan recalled that the underwear suddenly disappeared two days ago, and when he called Jian Xi and Lin Xiao, they both did not respond...

Although she had already prepared herself mentally for this kind of thing, she still felt a little upset when she thought about it.

I miss the time when I was a mistress!
At least at that time, I would only have a feeling of secret joy, unlike now, when I start to worry about gains and losses.

Lin Xiao, who was sitting opposite her, was also thinking about other things.

Ever since I asked my best friend Nan Xiang for advice last time and put on the same underwear she recommended, I thought that Jian Xi would be completely charmed by her. However, although Jian Xi was surprised, I always felt that she was not charmed at all.

In order to verify this idea a few days ago, Lin Xiao once again asked Jian Xi to break up, still dressed the same way. The result was just as she guessed, Jian Xi smiled and said that she looked better before.

When she thought of this, Lin Xiao felt a little discouraged. She had even gone to Nan Xiang to learn from him, but in the end, it was all superfluous.

Yesterday she complained to Nan Xiang about this matter, but she didn't expect that her best friend who had confidently recommended this kind of dress to her suddenly changed her tone.

What about perfume theory, compatibility, etc., as if she hadn't recommended them to me before.

But after coming to her senses, Lin Xiao had to admit that what her best friend said made sense and that she was indeed a little out of her mind.

Moreover, with your own strength, there is no need to do anything fancy.

I am not like my best friend Nan Xiang, who usually looks like a cool goddess, but in private, the clothes she wears are more and more popular.

I guess Nan Xiang thinks the style of underwear she wears can arouse men, so she wants herself to wear it like that too. But unfortunately, I am different from her, and Jian Xi is also different from other men!
That’s it... Lin Xiao also glanced at Lin Quan secretly.

What exactly is Jian Xi planning? Once when he came here, he found that Lin Quan was not there. He thought that he was planning to live in the school, but when he saw him opening the door and coming back the next day, his whole spirit and energy were different.

Of course she knew what was going on with this change!

At that time, Lin Xiao, who was eating breakfast, suddenly felt a loss of taste in his mouth.

What's the difference between this situation now and when Jian Xi cheated on me without telling me?
No, now he is basically sleeping with other women openly. From this perspective, the nature of the matter is even worse!
But...Jian Xi and I have already broken up.

When Lin Xiao thought of this, he felt a little headache. What kind of breakup was this?
It's obviously just talk, at most I just changed my sleeping place from home to the hotel!

But if I really break up with Jian Xi, I won't be happy about it.

Especially since Lin Quan had remained silent the whole time, if I really broke up with Jian Xi, wouldn't that be a direct benefit to Lin Quan?
Maybe the other party is just waiting for me to become unable to bear it and leave Jian Xi on my own initiative!

When he thought of the current stalemate, Lin Xiao sighed deeply.

It’s even worse than when Jian Xi cheated on me without telling me!

At least, Jian Xi and I are officially boyfriend and girlfriend. If I didn't know about Lin Quan's existence, I wouldn't have such worries.

Although escaping is shameful, it can indeed make you feel better.

"Why are you sighing?"

At this time, Lin Quan, who had almost finished eating and was drinking soup, saw her suddenly sigh and asked curiously.

Lin Xiao raised his head and looked at the other person. His lips moved slightly. After hesitating for a while, he said directly: "I miss Jian Xi a little bit."

"..."

The sudden appearance of this name, which they usually tacitly omitted, instantly made the atmosphere at the table feel strange.

Lin Quan stared at her blankly for a few seconds, then slowly placed the bowl of soup on the dining table and said casually, "If you miss him, just give him a call. What's the big deal?"

Having said that, Lin Quan's wandering eyes betrayed that she was not so indifferent in her heart.

Lin Xiao's words just now were of course just a slight test. She herself was too embarrassed to call Jian Xi in front of Lin Quan to say that she missed him.

What if Lin Quan also said that he missed him?
If I don't fight with Lin Quan, wouldn't that be tacitly approving Jian Xi's two girlfriends?
How is this possible? !
"Forget it. I'll stay over there after dinner."

Lin Xiao put down his chopsticks, poured himself a bowl of soup and replied in a low voice.

"..."

What do you mean? Are you trying to contact me without telling me?
Lin Quan felt a little depressed. The current atmosphere made her feel very uncomfortable, but she couldn't say it.

After staring at the other person's face for a while, Lin Quan slowly lowered his gaze, and then asked inexplicably:
"Lin Xiao, do you like lace?"

"?"

Lin Xiao, who was drinking soup, froze in his tracks, and the look he showed when he looked at Lin Quan opposite him changed from confusion to shock.

After a long while, Lin Xiao stammered, "No, I don't like it. I like men, I like Jian Xi."

"..."

Lin Quan was stunned for a moment, then realized from her eyes that the question he just asked was wrong, and quickly said: "No, I mean, do you like lace underwear?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head: "No, I don't like it very much."

"Then why do you have a set of black lace in your closet?"

"..."

After her little secret was discovered, Lin Xiao's face immediately began to turn red. Facing her rival's aggressive gaze, she argued, "What's wrong with me wanting to change my style?"

"Really?" Lin Quan curled his lips, then asked, "Does Jian Xi like it?"

"He..." Lin Xiao stopped talking immediately when he was about to answer. He rolled his eyes at Lin Quan and said, "What do you care?!"

"Hmph, I do want to care." Lin Quan wrinkled his nose, wanting to say, "I didn't expect you, Lin Xiao, to like this tune." But after the words turned around, he said, "I don't care about these."

Hearing her say this, Lin Xiao frowned and asked back: "If you like it, I will buy you one too.

"I don't like these." Lin Quan snorted. She didn't want to be the same as Lin Xiao. They only had the same surname, but not anything else.

Besides... I have other plans.

At this time, Lin Xiao looked at the other person for a few seconds, suddenly took out his mobile phone and called Jian Xi, then put the phone on the dining table.

Seeing this scene, Lin Quan's eyes suddenly widened, and then he asked curiously: "Didn't you just say that you wouldn't fight Jian Xi?"

"I've changed my mind now. I want to ask him if he wants to stay here tonight. If he does, I won't go back to that place."

The tension between the two women that had disappeared for a long time suddenly showed signs of reappearing. Lin Quan clenched his fist slightly, then snorted and said, "Ask, I want to know too."

Although Jian Xi is unlikely to come, it would be a good idea to let Lin Xiao ask. If Jian Xi really agrees to come, they can make other plans at that time.

"You mustn't make a sound."

Lin Xiao gave her a warning, and Lin Quan nodded and said "hmm".

After a while, the call was connected. As Lin Quan watched silently, Lin Xiao shouted into the phone: "Hello? Jian Xi!"

"Lin Xiao, what's wrong?"

"Lin Quan said you have another woman outside!"

"Ah?" Lin Quan cried out in a low voice, then quickly covered his mouth. There was instantly some anger in his eyes as he looked at his rival.

This bad guy wanted to ask but had to use me as an excuse. Suddenly, a strange groan came from the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of Jian Xi coughing lightly, and then he smiled and said:

"Outside? Which outside? According to the current situation, you are also my outside, right?"

Golden bachelor Jian Xi answered like this, while Lin Xiao looked at Lin Quan and signaled her to stop talking, and then said to the phone: "Who is your outsider? I want to ask, besides me and Lin Quan, do you have other women in Pudong? This is what Lin Quan asked me to ask before."

"..."

Lin Quan, who was sitting across the dining table, silently watched this bad woman continue to ruin his reputation and would settle the score with her after the call was over.

At this time, Jian Xi's voice came from the phone.

"Why? Do I look like a promiscuous man?"

It wasn’t like that before, but now… the two girls looked up at each other in tacit understanding.

After Lin Xiao adjusted his mentality, he skipped the topic and asked, "Will you come back tonight?"

"No return."

Jian Xi's answer was very straightforward. After saying these two words, he waited for two seconds and added: "I have something else to do here. I'm still in the company!"

"Still in the office? It's already so dark, and you're the boss and you still want to work overtime?"

"The company is just starting out, so there's a lot to do."

"Ok."

Lin Xiao's tone was a little regretful, but also a little relieved. If Jian Xi really came and saw Lin Quan there, he would probably sleep in the guest room, and he would have to find a way to sneak over in the middle of the night.

Let Jian Xi choose?
I have to lie in the same bed with whoever he chooses!
Lin Quan also had the same idea as her at this time. It was a pity that Jian Xi didn't come. If she really came, she would have to sneak over... It would be best if Lin Xiao could hear it and then leave...

The little green tea girl is still determined to clear the situation, and Lin Xiao has the same idea.

At this time, Jian Xi on the other end of the phone suddenly said, "By the way, Lin Xiao, I suddenly remembered that I asked you why you suddenly wore that lace underwear and you didn't tell me the reason. Can you tell me now?"

"..."

Lin Xiao's face was instantly embarrassed. Although Lin Quan had mentioned this matter just now, she could pretend that she didn't care and fool Lin Quan. But when Jian Xi mentioned this matter again in front of Lin Quan, she couldn't hold it back.

Sure enough, Lin Quan on the opposite side immediately had a playful expression, and he deliberately pursed his lips, rolled his eyes and made a face, making Lin Xiao want to crawl under the table.

After making a few "uh" sounds, Lin Xiao said angrily, "Didn't I say I just suddenly wanted to change my style? Why are you still bringing this up?"

"I don't believe it." The dog man's cheerful voice continued, "You didn't change it earlier or later, but suddenly changed it. Did someone give you some advice?"

After a pause, the man over there said with a smile: "Is it Lin Quan? Or your good friend Gu Li? Or..."

"Don't guess blindly!" Lin Xiao quickly interrupted him, and the smile in Lin Quan's eyes became more unscrupulous.

"Then tell me!" Jian Xi's voice became a little strange, "I can tell if you are lying."

"..."

Lin Xiao's expression was a little tangled when she heard this. After a two-second ideological struggle in her mind, she still told the truth: "Yes, it was Nan Xiang who suggested it to me."

"Whoo~"

For some reason, Jian Xi exhaled, and then he said with a smile: "Really? Wasn't Nan Xiang a cold goddess before? Why would she suggest you wear this kind of clothes? Is she deliberately playing a trick on you?"

"How could that be?" Lin Xiao first defended her friendship with Nan Xiang, "She wouldn't play tricks on me on purpose!"

Then she looked at Lin Quan, who was listening attentively and calmly, and said to the phone: "I told you not to tell others. In fact, Nan Xiang only looks aloof. In private, she is... well, quite contrasting."

Knowing that the first half of Lin Xiao's sentence was also a reminder to him, Lin Quan pursed his lips and nodded as if to make a promise, and when he heard the latter part, he smiled and raised his eyebrows.

Jian Xi on the other end of the phone responded in a skeptical tone: "Contrast? Is that true? You're not lying to me, are you? You mean Nan Xiang only looks like a cool goddess, but is actually a bitch who likes to wear sexy lingerie?"

"What do I mean? Don't talk nonsense, that's not sexy lingerie, it's just a little sexy, Nan Xiang is not a hottie!"

Lin Xiao continued to defend her reputation as a good friend, and then she added: "It's just a different style of dressing. What's wrong with Nan Xiang liking it?"

"Nothing, nothing. I like it too."

"You like..." At this point, Lin Xiao frowned and subconsciously said, "Jian Xi, don't think too much, and don't have any ideas about Nan Xiang."

"What are you talking about?! We have known each other for such a long time, how could I possibly have any intentions towards her!"

The dog man's tone was very firm. Although Lin Xiao relaxed his brows after hearing it, he still felt weird.

But Lin Quan, who was sitting opposite her, frowned at this moment. She remembered the scene when she saw Jian Xi and Nan Xiang together at school.

Although Jian Xi said at the time that he felt Nan Xiang did not meet his aesthetic standards, Lin Quan still did not take it completely lightly. When she suddenly heard Jian Xi talking about Nan Xiang, ripples began to appear in her heart.

"That's good." Lin Xiao thought about it and it was true. Jian Xi had known Nan Xiang for such a long time and had never had any thoughts about Nan Xiang. Besides, Nan Xiang only had Xi Cheng in her heart. How could they have any emotional connection?

"Okay, let's stop here for now. I still have some work to finish here."

Jian Xi's voice came, Lin Xiao hummed and said goodbye to him before hanging up the phone.

"Lin Xiao, do you think that woman outside the senior class is your good friend Nan Xiang?"

At this time, Lin Quan, who had listened to the entire phone call, suddenly spoke softly.

……

"Tsk, Nan Xiang, it turns out that your best friend also said that you are a contrast!"

Inside the office, Jian Xi said with a smile as he looked at Nan Xiang, who was lying naked in his arms.

The other person's hand, which had been covering his mouth, was put down and placed on his waist when he hung up the phone.

After hearing what the bastard said, Nan Xiang, who was exhausted all over, no longer had the energy to speak. This bastard, after receiving Lin Xiao's call, he turned on the speakerphone directly and deliberately directed the topic to her.

The most annoying thing is that during the call, the other party’s hands never stopped moving!

She was already a little overwhelmed, and now she was even more unbearable.

Seeing that Nan Xiang didn't answer him, the dog man smiled, then weighed his legs, sighed and said, "My pants are completely ruined. I'll deduct the money from your salary to compensate me for my pants."

What a beast! What a beast!
Nan Xiang, who had been squinting her eyes and had no strength, suddenly widened her eyes when she heard this, raised her head and looked at this dog man in disbelief who was still refreshing the lower limit of her cognition.

How could a man say such a thing?

"Why are you looking at me? Isn't that right?" Jian Xi said confidently, "Now you're sacrificing my clothes, and I'm only asking you to pay for a pair of pants. Isn't that generous enough? I haven't asked you for any other expenses, so just be happy!"

"..."

Nan Xiang opened her mouth slightly, but couldn't utter a word. She could only continue to stare at this bastard with a slightly dull look in her eyes.

It was not until the dog man suddenly moved his hand again that she came back to her senses with a light snort.

After the familiar feeling returned, Nan Xiang stretched out her hands and hooked them around Jian Xi's neck. She pressed her head against the other's suit chest and moved upwards until her forehead touched Jian Xi's chin. Then she rubbed and kissed Jian Xi's neck and chin like a cat.

"It's my duty. I'll compensate you, Boss. Please kiss me~"

……

December 25th, Christmas in the West.

It was also the day when Gu Yuan and Yuan Yi held their engagement celebration.

Today, the snow in Shanghai is as heavy as it was that night when Yuan Hua arrived.
