Chapter 12 Xiao Zhier: I can explain! Xiao Zhier was in a panic...
Xiao Zhier murmured with lowered eyebrows, his eyes were gentle, and he felt that the bow on his arm was much more pleasing to the eye.
A burnt smell rushed into Xiao Zhier's nose, and he was slightly startled. He looked up and saw smoke coming out of his kitchen. Xiao Zhier suddenly opened his eyes wide: "My fried egg!"
After a period of chaos, Xiao Zhier looked at the black frying pan, hesitated for a few seconds, and then poked the charcoal-black round cake inside with a spatula.
There was a slight "click" sound.
A circle of cracks appeared inexplicably on the bottom of the frying pan.
Xiao Zhier: "..."
His eyes widened in disbelief, he put the spatula aside, and lifted the frying pan by the handle.
Then Shui Lingling looked at the bottom of the pot.
The bottom of the pot was still on the induction cooker, and Xiao Zhier was holding the edge of the pot, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Like a racket without strings.
Staring at the edge of the pot in his hand, Xiao Zhier thought with a smile on his face.
Xiao Zhier shook his head helplessly, threw the pot into the trash can, and then watched the stringless racket shatter into pieces.
"……OK."
Xiao Zhier chose to give up the fried eggs so that he could just eat the bread.
After simply packing up his breakfast, Xiao Zhier now had three days of vacation. He struggled to put all the things he had moved in the past few days in order with one hand, and wiped everywhere diligently with a rag.
When he had almost finished cleaning up, Xiao Zhier looked up and it was already noon.
The ringtone was melodious, and Xiao Zhier raised his eyebrows slightly: "Chi Yan? Why are you calling me suddenly?"
The video was connected, and the young man on the other end of the phone was still as sunny as ever. Chi Chan was originally greeting Xiao Zhier with a smiling face, but as soon as he waved his hands twice, the world spun around, and Xiao Zhier stared in amazement as the camera went straight to the ground.
With a crisp "pop" sound, the video call that had just been connected disappeared in an instant. Xiao Zhier subconsciously shrank his neck and squinted his eyes. Oh, it felt like someone's camera was broken.
A few minutes later, Xiao Zhier's phone vibrated for a few seconds. He picked it up nonchalantly, and was about to laugh at the tragedy of Chi Zhen breaking his phone, but the screen flashed a few times, and a familiar yet unfamiliar face appeared in front of Xiao Zhier.
Xiao Zhier was stunned for a few seconds, and the person opposite him greeted him first: "Brother Xiao, I'm Chi Yuze."
Xiao Zhier: “!!!”
He took a deep breath, and the fingers holding the bottom of the phone trembled violently. Before Xiao Zhier could react, he heard a familiar "pop" sound, and when he looked down, he saw that his phone had fallen to the ground.
The corners of Xiao Zhier's lips twitched slightly.
Good, very good. It turns out that there will be retribution for making fun of others.
He carefully picked up the phone, checked it over and over again, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no obvious scratches on the surface of the phone.
Xiao Zhier had just bought a new phone not too long ago. If it was broken like this, he would be heartbroken.
This phone is quite tough. Even after all that trouble from Xiao Zhier, the video call was not interrupted. When Xiao Zhier just picked up the phone, he heard a particularly arrogant laugh coming from the other end of the video.
Chi Jian's voice has always been exceptionally clear, and he is the most recognizable one among Xiao Zhier's friends. His laughter is extremely flamboyant: "I told you, Xiao Zhier would smash his phone as soon as he saw your face. You didn't believe it yet, but now you believe it, right? It has to be me!"
Xiao Zhier turned over his phone and reached out to wipe the dust off the camera: "What are you so arrogant about?"
Chi Tong's arrogant laughter subsided in an instant. The video screen shook a few times, and Chi Tong popped up from the video screen. He smiled and waved at Xiao Zhier: "I wanted to ask just now, what's wrong with your arm? It's only been a few days since we last saw each other, how come you have become a one-armed hero?"
Xiao Zhier sighed: "This is really hard to describe..."
Chi Yan has always been a smart person. Seeing that Xiao Zhier was unwilling to elaborate, he immediately changed the subject: "I'm taking a day off today. I wanted to ask you out to play, but your arm is so injured, I guess you can't come out, right?"
Xiao Zhier lowered his eyes and looked at his arm which was tightly wrapped by Xu Ze. He shrugged in agreement. He winked at Chi Ting, who understood immediately. He turned around and handed the phone to Chi Yuze beside him, with a gloating look in his eyes: "Brother, Xiao Zhier wants to talk to you."
Chi Yuze was slightly stunned.
Looking at Xiao Zhier's expression just now, he thought he didn't want to see him.
Chi Yuze took the phone obediently. The man had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes with a deep gaze. The moment he looked into Xiao Zhier's eyes, even though there was a screen and radio waves between the two of them, Xiao Zhier could see that Chi Yuze's eyes had become noticeably gentler.
"Brother Xiao."
Chi Yuze's voice was also gentle. He stared into Xiao Zhier's eyes with a tender and gentle look.
Xiao Zhier was silent for two seconds. He did not avoid Chi Yuze's gaze and said softly, "Didn't you say you would come back next month?"
His voice was extremely calm, without the slightest hint of accusation, but whether it was due to distortion in the video transmission or the emotions created in Chi Yuze's own mind, Xiao Zhier's words sounded like sheer dissatisfaction to Chi Yuze's ears.
Chi Yuze panicked slightly, his throat moved slightly, and the fingers holding the phone tightened for a moment, looking at Xiao Zhier with a little nervousness in his eyes: "I had something urgent to deal with, so I changed the flight ticket... Is Brother Xiao blaming me?"
Xiao Zhier frowned slightly. For a moment he didn't understand what Chi Yuze meant.
The two of them were not even close friends. In Xiao Zhier's heart, from the moment Chi Yuze went abroad without saying a word, leaving him alone to face the inexplicable message, this person could only be an acquaintance who nodded to each other when they met. Now that Chi Yuze said this, it could even be regarded as an offense to Xiao Zhier.
It's just that Xiao Zhier was taught by Mr. Xiao and Ms. Ling Chunhua to be sensible and polite since he was a child. When they are not close friends, he will not say things that will embarrass the other party. Therefore, apart from frowning subconsciously, Xiao Zhier did not show any obvious disgust.
He just smiled lightly: "No, you are overthinking, I am just asking a question."
Chi Rong has always been teased by Xiao Zhier as having the instinct of a wild beast. He lay on his brother's shoulder to look at Xiao Zhier's expression. At a glance, he felt something was wrong. Chi Rong looked at Xiao Zhier, then leaned down, turned to look at Chi Yuze, and shook his head gently.
It’s over. If the current situation continues, this guy will never be able to catch up with Xiao Zhier in his lifetime.
After Chi Yan gave his brother a diagnosis, he immediately lost interest in observing Chi Yuze's emotional reaction. He leaned lazily on Chi Yuze's shoulder, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Xiao Zhier.
Chi Yuze usually dislikes close contact with people, especially people like Chi Ting who are used to being unruly. Chi Yuze felt displeased when he saw Chi Ting's actions, but because he was in front of Xiao Zhier, Chi Yuze restrained himself and did not push Chi Ting away forcibly, but his expression became much worse.
At this moment, Xiao Zhier's phone vibrated. He glanced at it out of habit and saw a message pop up on WeChat.
[AKA Xiao Chi will teach you how to piss off your boss: Thanks to you, I can finally make things difficult for him without restraint. 】
There was a hint of smile in Xiao Zhier's eyes. He seemed to put the phone on his legs unintentionally, reduced the call interface, and typed a reply to Chi Chan with one hand.
【AAA Breaking off all feelings and love Xiao Moumou: Don’t involve me, I am not prepared to cooperate with you. 】
[AKA Mr. Xiao Chi will teach you how to piss off your boss: Do you still need to cooperate? Just watch the show! 】
The moment this message popped up, Chi Zhen in the video call interface sat up straight. The two seemed to be in a place like a coffee shop. Chi Zhen picked up a tender pink macaron casually, with a sly smile on the corner of his lips, and stuffed the macaron into Chi Yuze's mouth in the blink of an eye.
The moment he stuffed it in, Chi Yan said seriously: "Brother, try this, it's delicious!"
As we all know, domineering CEOs generally don’t like sweets, and Chi Yuze is especially so.
Almost at the moment he was forced to bite the macaron, Chi Yuze's face turned dark.
Xiao Zhi'er and Chi Yuze have known each other for many years. In the early years, their relationship was so close that it could be said to be ambiguous. Of course, he knew Chi Yuze's habits. Seeing that Chi Yuze's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, Xiao Zhi'er silently pinched his thigh and barely controlled himself from laughing out loud with gloating.
He couldn't control the strength of his hand, and the pinch made Xiao Zhier shiver in pain. A layer of physiological tears welled up in his eyes uncontrollably. Xiao Zhier hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe away the tears, but when he looked up, he met Chi Yuze's surprised gaze.
Xiao Zhier: "..."
He looked at his own small window in the corner of the video call interface, stared at the young man with red eyes in it for a long time, then looked down at the tissue in his hand, looked up and looked at Chi Yuze for a few seconds. Xiao Zhier was rarely speechless.
Xiao Zhier threw away the tissue in his hand: "I, I can explain, it's not what you think..."
Chi Yuze's eyes were filled with deep pity and apology almost instantly. He looked at Xiao Zhier, raised his hand and put his index finger against his lips: "Shh..."
Xiao Zhier closed his mouth helplessly.
Chi Yuze smiled: "I was in a bad mood just now and scared you. I apologize. To express my apology, please don't reject me, Brother Xiao. I will treat you to a meal next week, okay?"
Although Chi Yan was sending messages to Xiao Zhier to laugh at Chi Yuze's embarrassment, his ears were perked up. When he heard Chi Yuze's words, he felt something was wrong. Chi Yan immediately raised his hand: "I want to go too!"
Xiao Zhier had a smile on his face. He was about to agree when he saw Chi Yuze push Chi Yu off the screen. The man remained calm and stared at Xiao Zhier with deep eyes: "Just the two of us, okay?"
