The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 348 Shocking Change
"Xicheng!"

At Jian Xi's home in Pudong, as Nan Xiang's voice fell, the cheerful atmosphere brought about by the opportunity for the reunion of the Times sisters disappeared in an instant.

It's like when a pot of porridge is about to be cooked, a rat dropping suddenly appears in it.

Quiet, silent, disgusting.

Nan Xiang subconsciously looked at Jian Xi, wanting to hang up the phone directly and then block the person on the other end of the phone again.

But as she held the phone and looked at Jian Xi, who had a calm expression, she didn't dare to hang up the call. She was worried that the other party would think too much. Would she appear guilty if she hung up the phone like this?

When she lowered her eyes and retracted them, she glanced at Lin Xiao and Lin Quan. The latter just frowned slightly, while the former's entire face was wrinkled.

"..."

Lin Xiao's look of disdain was basically undisguised.

I just don’t know whether she dislikes Xi Cheng on the phone or her best friend with whom she just reconciled.

Nan Xiang pursed her lips. She really didn't expect such an emergency to happen at this moment. Her mind suddenly became confused, so much so that she didn't hear clearly what Xi Cheng said on the phone.

It wasn't until the other party on the phone kept calling her name, and the voice was getting louder and louder, and even the other people at the table could hear it, that she came to her senses.

"What?" Nan Xiang responded coldly, and then continued, "I can hear you. You don't need to say more. I have blocked your contact information. What's the point of calling me from a new number?"

When people are in a panic, they are always eager to prove themselves, especially in front of the people they care about. They blurt out words just to prove their innocence.

After hearing Nan Xiang's words, Lin Xiao's expression did not change. The look of disgust seemed to be frozen on her face. At least she would not take back her disgust until the call was over.

Lin Quan, on the other hand, relaxed her frown. She shifted her gaze from Nan Xiang to Jian Xi, and an inexplicable look appeared in her eyes again.

The senior could still continue to eat calmly at this moment, but he had lost his appetite. He probably wouldn't be able to eat a single bite until Nan Xiang finished the call.

Nan Xiang unconsciously clenched her chopsticks with one hand. After hearing what Xi Cheng said on the phone, she replied, "It's meaningless to say it. I don't want to see you."

"Whether it's Jian Xi or Wei Hai, it has nothing to do with you."

"I said, I don't want to see you, and I won't go to see you."

"There's nothing more to say. I don't want to listen. I'm hanging up."

Nan Xiang hung up the phone decisively, personally demonstrating what it means that a woman who has changed her mind is harder to catch than a chicken in the mountains.

Perhaps she wanted to prove herself to a few people, or perhaps she really didn't want to have anything to do with Xi Cheng anymore, or perhaps it was both, she hung up the phone firmly and decisively.

After hanging up the phone, her depressed mood still did not calm down, and she did not dare to turn around to look at others, so now she could only sit on the chair with her head down and motionless.

It seemed as if he had not yet come to his senses, and as if he was waiting for something.

The atmosphere in the living room became subtle. The three women sitting at the dining table each had their own thoughts. Facing the table full of dishes, they did not pick up their chopsticks.

So for a while, the only sound in the room was Jian Xi eating.

Lin Xiao and Lin Quan both looked at Jian Xi, and seeing that he was still eating leisurely as if nothing had happened, they moved their lips but didn't know what to say.

Then they looked away and the two girls looked at each other. They were obviously rivals in love who always quarreled with each other, but at this moment they seemed to have a telepathic connection and were communicating intensely through their eyes.

But soon eye contact could no longer satisfy them, so the two girls put their hands down and began to communicate with their hands and feet under the table.

I don't know how much time has passed, let alone how the conversation went. I only know that when Jian Xi was serving his second bowl of rice, Lin Quan finally spoke:

"Senior, what are you thinking about? Don't you have anything to say?"

Jian Xi smiled when he heard that, poured himself a glass of wine and then said, "Yes, I was wondering how long it would take you to hold back before you spoke."

"..."

"By the way, the food is getting cold. If you don't eat it now, I'll just put it away after I finish eating."

After saying this with a smile, Jian Xi took a sip of wine and started eating some food.

Hearing this, Xiao Lu Cha wanted to say something else, but suddenly realized that something was wrong with Nan Xiang next to her. She moved closer to take a look, only to find that Nan Xiang, who was lowering her head, had started to drop little pearls without her knowing when.

"Nan Xiang, don't cry! It's okay." Little Green Tea quickly took out a tissue and handed it to her.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao hurriedly sat over and wiped her best friend's tears: "Nan Xiang, are you okay?"

"puff!"

Just as the two girls were comforting Nan Xiang, Jian Xi, who was drinking, suddenly sprayed the wine in his mouth back into the glass.

The two girls who heard the noise looked at him in surprise, and saw this bastard laughing for no apparent reason.

Little Green Tea was fine, she just felt a little confused, but Lin Xiao was suddenly filled with an unknown anger.

"You're still laughing!" Lin Xiao frowned, "Jian Xi, are you okay? You can still laugh?"

"Cough cough..." Jian Xi grinned and almost laughed again, so he had to quickly cover it up with a cough.

Seeing Lin Xiao glaring at him, he calmed down and said, "No, I didn't mean it. The main thing is that you don't say those words."

Lin Xiao was stunned and asked, "Which words?"

"A secret." Jian Xi raised his eyebrows. "You can find out slowly when you go back."

In fact, I didn't feel anything when I heard Lin Xiao say those words normally, but in the atmosphere just now, she suddenly said this, and I couldn't hold it back.

"You..." Lin Xiao suddenly felt his chest tighten again. Especially after seeing the raised eyebrows of this bastard, he rolled his eyes at him fiercely and said, "Nan Xiang is crying and you still have the nerve to laugh!"

"Why are you embarrassed?" Jian Xi asked back, "Is the food not tasty? Is the person ugly? Or is there another reason?"

"of course……"

Lin Xiao's words got stuck in his throat as soon as they came out of his mouth. Was it because of that disgusting Xi Cheng? Or was it because Nan Xiang was yours now?

After saying these words, she felt like she was disgusting herself.

So after these thoughts came to his mind, Lin Xiao reacted. He had just been treating Nan Xiang as a good friend and comforting her. Now he and she were still rivals in love.

So when a girl and her best friend get together with the same man, the relationship becomes extremely complicated.

In most cases, you will become enemies with your best friend. Only in extremely rare cases will the second possibility occur.

Moreover, the second possibility is often in an unstable state. After all, it is not so easy to overcome that hurdle.

Just like at this moment, Lin Xiao was speechless for a moment. He wanted to speak up for Nan Xiang and continue to comfort her, but he always felt something was weird in his heart.

Wouldn’t it be better if the other person broke up with your boyfriend?

If I help her now, wouldn't I be aiding the enemy?

Lin Xiao's mind began to struggle with each other. After the embarrassment spread in her heart, she had no choice but to look at Lin Quan, only to find that the other party was looking at her with a strange look. She had seen this kind of look in his eyes many times before...

Am I really a fool if I don’t study?
Just when Lin Xiao was doubting himself and was about to lose control of his sadness, Lin Quan, who was holding Nan Xiang's arm, spoke.

"Senior, Nan Xiang..."

"It's okay, let's eat first, the food is really getting cold." Jian Xi smiled and said softly, "And Nanxiang, don't just cry. Even if you have no appetite after crying, drink some soup. You can heat up other dishes before eating. If the soup is heated up, it will not taste fresh."

After a pause, Jian Xi served another bowl of soup and placed it in front of Nan Xiang, saying, "It's been simmering for a long time. It will be too late if you make it in the evening." After saying this, Jian Xi didn't say anything else and started to eat happily as before.

Lin Quan and Lin Xiao looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and no longer stood there stiffly. They nodded and picked up the chopsticks again.

What surprised the two was that Nan Xiang, who had just been wiping her tears, picked up the spoon and started drinking the soup in small sips after hearing Jian Xi's words.

"Lin Xiao, do you know which words you said just now made me feel funny?"

Seeing that the atmosphere at the table had warmed up a little but was still rather low, the dog man took the initiative to start a conversation to liven up the atmosphere.

Lin Xiao was stunned when he heard this, then frowned and shook his head.

"Think about it carefully." Jian Xi said with a smile, "I'll give you a hint from what you said before I laughed."

"what I said?"

"You just said two sentences, you didn't forget them all, did you?"

Little Green Tea's attention was also drawn to this, and upon hearing this, she began to think about what Lin Xiao had just said.

Lin Xiao's brows furrowed as she began to search her brain, but she soon looked at Jian Xi and asked hesitantly, "Are you okay?"

"Hehe, you guessed it right!"

So Jian Xi started laughing like he was having a seizure again, but Lin Xiao was speechless and confused when he saw this.

"Jian Xi, you are really sick. What's so funny about this?!" Lin Xiao said unhappily. Many things happened during the meal today that made her feel inexplicable, but Jian Xi was the one that left her speechless the most.

Even Little Green Tea was completely confused at this time. She looked at Jian Xi and asked, "Senior, does this sentence have any other meaning?"

"No, it's just what it means." After laughing, the dog man, who had completely calmed down this time, replied, "It's just that when Lin Xiao said it, I always think of a funny thing."

"What's so funny?" Lin Quan asked.

Lin Xiao immediately took over the conversation and said disdainfully: "Do we need to guess? What good things can he think of? Except for vulgarity, it's just vulgarity. It's definitely not a good thing."

"..."

Hearing Lin Xiao say this, Jian Xi's face turned black and he said, "I don't know who has no good ideas in his head. He always says to try the moves in the movie, right?"

"Cough...cough!"

As soon as Jian Xi finished speaking, Lin Xiao, who had just taken a mouthful of rice, suddenly turned red in the face. She quickly turned around and started coughing violently into the trash can, coughing out the rice.

"Eh~" Little Green Tea didn't understand at first, but when she realized what was going on, her nose and eyebrows immediately twisted up, "Lin Xiao, you are so shameless."

"Put it out..." Lin Xiao, who was holding the trash can, hadn't caught her breath yet and couldn't finish her words. When she turned her head to look over, Lin Quan just happened to see rice grains spraying out of her nose.

"Shameless and disgusting." Little Green Tea added with disgust.

"You are shameless and disgusting!" Lin Xiao, who had caught his breath, was furious. He put down the trash can and cursed at Lin Quan.

Little Green Tea was unmoved, and just sneered at Lin Xiao: "How dare you say that others are disgusting? Can you wipe your nose first? You are still eating!"

Lin Xiao's breathing stagnated and she quickly took the tissue to clean herself up. After returning to the dining table, she glared at Jian Xi again. It was all because of what the bastard had just said!
Jian Xi tried hard to hold back his smile but his eyes betrayed him. He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Why are you looking at me? Eat your meal quickly! And can you please not be so emotional while eating? It's easy to choke."

"What else are you eating? I'm already full of anger! You and Lin Quan are teaming up to make fun of me, right?" Lin Xiao stared at the couple, his teeth grinding.

"Yeah, what's wrong? Senior is on my side. We all laugh at you. Who makes you the funniest?"

"You green tea, you want to fight again, right?"

"Afraid of you?"

"..."

Seeing that Lin Quan took the initiative to take over the fire and started the daily quarrel with Lin Xiao, Jian Xi calmly ate the last bit of rice in the bowl.

When he looked up at Nan Xiang who had been silent, the other party happened to look over at him, and then he saw Nan Xiang retract the corners of his mouth that were slightly raised because of the excitement in front of him.

Two and a half seconds later, Nan Xiang put down the spoon in her hand and suddenly said, "My mobile number is bound to a lot of things, so it's not convenient to change it directly, so I asked him to change the number and call me."

As Nan Xiang spoke, the two girls who were fighting with each other immediately stopped arguing and turned their attention to her.

However, Nan Xiang just looked at Jian Xi. After seeing him nod, she whispered, "He asked me... whether you and that Wei Hai... harassed me."

Jian Xi looked a little strange, nodded again and asked with a smile: "Is that why you cried?"

"No." Nan Xiang shook her head and was silent for two seconds before speaking again, "I always thought I had gotten over the past, but when you didn't say anything just now, I felt..."

Nan Xiang couldn't continue talking at this point, and even tears glistened in the corners of her eyes.

"If you cry again, you will do what you did during your first overtime work again in front of Lin Xiao."

"..."

Nan Xiang's eyes were blank for a second, but after a second she hurriedly took a few deep breaths. Wasn't the thing her boss said she did during the first overtime job a strip show in the office?
If I were alone with the boss, I would naturally be happy to revisit the classics, but now that Lin Xiao and Lin Quan are here, I don't have the face to do so even if I am excited.

Besides, the two of them just comforted themselves, people can't, at least shouldn't...

Seeing that Nan Xiang regained her composure with just one sentence from Jian Xi, Lin Xiao looked at the two of them again and again, with more and more suspicion in her eyes, so she couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter? Why did you mention me specifically? Jian Xi, are you up to something again?"

"We're eating, could you please use polite language?" Jian Xi responded to Lin Xiao's eye roll with a smile.

When Nan Xiang was crying just now, he didn't comfort her because he really couldn't. What was there to comfort her for? Don't cry, I believe you? I feel bad when you cry? Don't cry, I'm here for you.
I haven't been infected by Lin Xiao, so how could I say such a mean thing?
What's more, he was comforting another woman in front of Lin Quan and Lin Xiao. It was already very good that he didn't tell her to just go away and cry if she wanted to.

Only Lin Xiao was a little slow to react. Little Green Tea understood it quickly and didn't say anything more.

Do you really think she would be happy to bring in a love rival?

Just now, when she heard herself say to Nan Xiang, "It's too late to make soup tonight," her lips pouted.

Maybe she brought Nan Xiang here today with the intention of diverting trouble away.

The atmosphere at the table gradually returned to calm. Lin Xiao was still angry. Although she couldn't eat anymore, she still poured herself a bowl of soup.

The little green tea girl quietly put the food into her mouth, but when she lowered her head, her big eyes kept drifting between Nan Xiang and Lin Xiao. When she saw the senior looking at her, she blinked her eyes and smiled sweetly.

The meal lasted more than half an hour. Although Jian Xi had finished eating long ago, he was not in a hurry to leave and kept chatting with them.

"Senior, I'll wash the dishes later, you go..."

"Dingling bell~"

Lin Quan had just finished drinking his soup when he was interrupted by a sudden ringing of the phone.

But this time, the owner of the ringing phone was no longer Nan Xiang.

"Gu Li called me." Lin Xiao, who was still sulking, picked up the phone on the table and answered the call directly.

"Gu Li, what's the matter?" Lin Xiao glared at the little green tea girl and said to the phone.

And the next second, an even more excited reaction appeared than when Nan Xiang answered the phone just now.

Lin Xiao suddenly stood up and screamed, "Wanru's mouth was cut?!"
