The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

"That's right!"

Xu Nian belatedly realized what was happening.

Platform coupons are issued by the platform, and the money saved is paid by the platform.

He himself is the boss behind the platform.

I went to get the coupons that my company subsidized and gave me, and bought things from my company to save money for them.

The left and right hemispheres of the brain are fighting each other.

So he stopped hesitating and clicked the payment button directly.

After doing all this, Xu Nian put down her phone, hugged the girl beside her, and gently stroked the tips of her hair.

He had a strange feeling that Xu Xi was like a tiger with its teeth pulled out in front of him. Although he still looked fierce, he posed no threat to him at all.

What caused such a change in her personality?

Could it be that the little things she experienced with Xiaoxi during this period touched her in some way?

Or is this just her silence during a period of depression?

Xu Nian shook her head with a wry smile.

He didn't know either.

While thinking, Xu Xi struggled to turn over and curl up on the man's stomach.

She hugged her slender legs tightly and buried her head in her arms.

Like a little tabby cat that had been abandoned, it trembled pitifully, hoping to be taken in by its owner again.

A gentle breeze lifted her silvery-white hair, which rippled on the man's nose.

It smells nice and itchy.

Xu Nian placed her hand on her back and patted her gently, comforting her as if she were soothing a child.

After a while, the doorbell downstairs rang out crisply.

Xu Nian wanted to take the kitten off her belly and go downstairs to get takeout.

But two kitten paws gripped his trouser leg tightly.

"Don't go..."

Her eyes were red and swollen, and it looked as if tiny pearls were about to fall from the corners of her eyes.

"Uh... I have to go downstairs to get the cake."

Xu Nian scratched his head and said helplessly.

The tabby cat rolled over, moving from in front of the man to behind him, its four little paws wrapped around his shoulders and waist, securing itself to his back.

"No...this..."

Xu Nian was about to say, "I just went downstairs to get a cake, I wasn't trying to run away, is it really necessary?"

But then he thought that Xu Xi himself was a person with an extremely insecure personality, who had been suffering alone since birth and wandering through various dangers.

It's not easy to find someone you can trust, which is why you develop this kind of unhealthy dependence.

Even during manic episodes, he would be kept locked up by his side in a form of imprisonment.

Her thinking, especially when her symptoms flare up, cannot be understood in the way a normal person would.

After staring blankly for a long time, Xu Xi gently pinched the man's neck.

It seems to be saying, "Mantis shrimp, let's go."

Xu Nian shook her head with a wry smile, then carried the little tabby cat downstairs.

"Hello, your takeout has arrived."

"Okay, thank you."

The deliveryman handed the cake to Xu Nian and took out his phone to take a picture.

Since it's a high-value meal, it's necessary to take photos to keep complete proof of delivery, which can avoid any potential disputes.

When the camera panned to the man's body, the deliveryman's expression changed.

The man had one hand on the doorknob and was holding a cake in the other.

At the same time, two more hands reached out from the shoulders!

Nezha?!

The deliveryman's expression shifted between light and dark.

He didn't even dare to take a picture, hurriedly got on his electric scooter, and sped away.

Xu Nian was left bewildered, staring at his departing figure with a question mark on her face.

After closing the door, Xu Nian carried the cake and the little tabby cat on her back, and went to the second-floor restaurant.

"Okay, come down, let's eat cake."

Xu Nian gently rubbed the tabby cat's chin.

"No."

Xu Xi's voice carried a hint of grievance.

She turned around, moved from behind the man to in front of him, and sat on his lap.

It seemed that as soon as she broke physical contact with Xu Nian, her flame would be extinguished as if it had lost its fuel.

Xu Nian was both amused and exasperated.

Is this still the same Xu Xiyao he remembers as obsessive, crazy, and aloof?

He untied the ribbon on the cake lid, carefully lifted the lid, revealing the exquisite chocolate mousse cake inside.

The cake's surface was covered with smooth chocolate sauce, like a mirror reflecting the warm glow emanating from the pendant light.

At the very top of the cake, a striking "love" shape cast with chocolate sauce is prominently displayed.

It is like a meticulously crafted work of art, exuding an irresistible charm.

Xu Nian took off the "love" sign and held it to Xu Xi's lips.

Xu Xi opened her cherry-like mouth and gently swallowed the chocolate, savoring it carefully.

The chocolate was sweet, smooth, and melted in my mouth.

Seeing the black chocolate sauce left on the man's hand, she stuck out her little tongue and licked it clean, like a kitten licking its mother's breast.

When her tongue touched the man's fingertips, Xu Nian felt a jolt of electricity run through her body, a tingling, numb sensation.

He took out a plastic knife and cut the cake into even pieces.

He placed the largest piece of chocolate sauce onto a beautiful plastic tray and put it in front of the girl.

"Eat."

Xu Xi took out a cake fork and savored the cake in front of her.

She ate very elegantly, like a refined and gentle young lady.

This is the complete opposite of the stream.

When Xiaoxi saw delicious food, she was like a hungry wolf seeing fatty meat, eating with gusto that always prompted Xu Nian to lecture her.

"I'm stuffed."

After eating a piece of cake, Xu Xi put down her fork, hugged her knees, squatted on the man's lap, and buried her head in his arms.

"Aren't you going to eat more?"

Xu Nian brushed her hair aside.

Although he knew that Xu Xi's appetite would be particularly poor during his depression, he still couldn't help but try to persuade him to eat more.

After all, she hadn't eaten for a day and a night.

Xu Xi gently shook his head.

"Oh well."

Xu Nian cut herself three pieces of cake, and after filling her stomach, she put the rest of the cake in the refrigerator.

"Take a shower."

He rubbed Xu Xi's back, which was soaked with cold sweat and his shirt was sticking to his back.

Once in the bathroom, Xu Nian turned on the bathroom heater and adjusted the water temperature to a comfortable level.

He gently put the tabby cat down from his arms and prepared to leave the bathroom.

But his hand was being held tightly.

Xu Xi was holding his hand, her bloodshot eyes fixed on him.

"Let's shower together..."
