“…”
Xu Danhua couldn't help but turn around and glance at Zhang Hechen. Well, Zhang Hechen rarely called her Dandan. It wasn't that he didn't call her that, he called her all sorts of things, like 'Xiao Xu', 'Dandan', 'Huahua', etc., but the ones he taught her most were 'Danhua' and 'Leader'.
He is more serious in front of outsiders and likes to call him "Danhua", while in private he likes to call him "leader".
But the "Dandan" just now seemed a little different, as if it carried a hint of extra possessiveness.
Zhang Hechen felt Xu Danhua's gaze and turned to smile gently at her.
"Dandan, who is this?" The young man finally noticed Zhang Hechen and turned to look at him, his eyes narrowed slightly, full of threat.
Zhang Hechen felt obvious hostility, but he did not change his expression. Instead, he smiled, but a sense of pressure seemed to be rising from him.
The two men stared at each other closely, their eyes like the flash of swords. If looks could kill, they would have probably fought for dozens of rounds.
Xu Danhua saw the two men staring at each other inexplicably. Although they were both smiling, their eyes were hostile. He quickly introduced them to each other: "Zhang Hechen, this is Yao Cheng, our neighbor who grew up in the same compound. Yao Cheng, this is my boyfriend, Comrade Zhang Hechen."
Object? Speaking of this, the young man named Yao Cheng across from him was obviously stunned, his peach blossom eyes showing a dazed look.
Zhang Hechen, standing next to him, had a smile on his face, a bit proud, but he extended his hand pretentiously: "So it's our neighbor, hello!"
The neighbor enunciated the words very clearly, as if he did it on purpose.
Yao Cheng came back to his senses, and his gaze on Zhang Hechen became particularly sharp. "Hello, I'm Danhua's...neighbor."
He emphasized the words "Grow up together." As he spoke, he extended his hand, and their hands clasped together, tightening in an instant. They stood straight, their hands exerting force, though their faces didn't show it.
Zhang Hechen's eyes flickered as he smiled, "Neighbors who grew up together. In our countryside, in and around the village, there are people who grew up together. Some are familiar, some are not. The familiar ones are usually brothers and sisters, and the unfamiliar ones are just acquaintances."
Haha, who is this really mocking?
Yao Cheng smiled, a bit of a scoundrel on his face. "Brother Zhang and Chen, there are quite a lot of people who grew up together. You're right, some people are familiar with each other, and some are not. But Dandan and I are really close. We even slept in the yard together when we were little!"
Zhang Hechen's expression faltered for a moment, but it was only for a moment. He quickly composed himself and said with a smile, "It's normal for children. We used to play in the fields together when we were little. Now that we've grown up and have our own families, we don't have time to chat about our childhoods anymore."
"Really?" Yao Cheng smiled. "That's not necessarily true. There are always some who have a particularly good relationship, right? Dandan."
Xu Danhua glanced at the two of them and said, "It's been so long since we last saw our childhood that I don't remember much. Yao Cheng, let's go home and say hello to our parents first. I'll talk to you another day."
Yao Cheng's face suddenly changed, losing his stern look and becoming extremely silent. He stared at Xu Danhua closely.
Zhang Hechen exerted force on his hands and said with a smile, "Comrade Yao Cheng, we'll go home first. I'll talk to you after I greet the elders."
