my friend

On Saturday afternoon, Lin Xiao worked overtime until four o'clock as usual.The mobile phone rang at the right time, and it was Joyce, the senior sister.Invite Lin Xiao to celebrate the festival with him at home.Lin Xiao said that he was too busy with work, so he did not agree.

After hanging up the phone, he changed into a navy blue sweatshirt and wanted to play with a few students on the basketball court in the building.

After a while, there were two more young girls in the auditorium next to the stadium.One is Tan Jialin, and the other is Li Shiyuan, who is hugging the thermos tightly.

"Mr. Lin, come on! Teacher Lin, come on!"

Although I see Lin Xiao every day, but at this moment, after all, my mood is different, and Li Shiyuan is a little too enthusiastic.

Although Lin Xiao didn't stop, he smiled at Li Shiyuan.

Li Shiyuan hopped her feet in satisfaction.

Neither she nor Tan Jialin noticed that Marvin was already standing behind them.

"What's the point of playing halftime? Do you want to play together? Let's play the whole game!" Marvin took off his jacket and rolled up his shirt sleeves.

"Ah! Marvin!" Tan Li and the others noticed Marvin behind them.

Lin Xiao heard the voice, stopped, and looked outside.

Marvin seemed to have a natural appeal, and several young men who had been on the sidelines responded one after another.

The sleeves of Lin Xiao's sweatshirt had been pushed back to his elbows. After running for a while, his face was slightly sweaty, with a slight blush.

He didn't speak, he took two shots of the basketball and threw it to Marvin's side.

Marvin took it with one hand, dribbled back and forth a few times, and joined in. At this moment, the scene became a five-five battle.

"Is this how busy you are with work?"

Marvin brushed past Lin Xiao and said.

"You also need to know how to relax... Seeing that it's spent, how to do things..."

Lin Xiao took the ball from his teammates and jumped up to shoot with one hand, but unfortunately the distance was too far and he missed.

The ball is intercepted by Marvin.

"How is Sixth Brother?" Lin Xiao asked.

"It's very good, I'll forget about you." Marvin turned his back to Lin Xiao, his hand has a kind of attraction to the basketball, and it is difficult to intercept it after he has it.

After being transported to the basket, Marvin jumped up to shoot, and Lin Xiao jumped up at the same time. The two bodies collided violently. Marvin was deflected by Lin Xiao, and the ball missed.

"Okay..." Marvin gasped loudly.

"It's my shoes that are wrong!" Marvin looked at the leather shoes on his feet and stomped his feet vigorously.

"Hehe..." Lin Xiao was noncommittal.

Half an hour later, there was still no winner.

After another half hour, everyone was out of breath.

"Let's end here today." Lin Xiao threw the ball into the hands of a young man, who was his student.

"Come back next time."

Everyone dispersed in twos and threes.

"Go, go to my office."

Lin Xiao saw that Marvin was sweating on his forehead, and two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned.

"Wow, wow!" Li Shiyuan responded holding the thermos on her chest.

"Ah...you are, Shiyuan's roommate!" Marvin noticed that the tall beauty beside him was just seen at Li Shiyuan's house.

"Hi, I'm Marvin." He wiped his hand on his shirt indifferently, and reached out to Tan Jialin.

"Hello, I'm Tan Jialin." Tan Jialin looked generous.

The four of them arrived at Lin Xiao's office together, and Lin Xiao took out Coke to greet everyone.

"Ms. Lin, drink this." Li Shiyuan raised the thermos.

"What is this?" Lin Xiao asked.

"This is... This is..." She couldn't help but look at Tan Jialin, and replied as if she had made up her mind.

"This is the pork heart soup I made, specially brought for you."

"Ah..." Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Shiyuan's sincere face, he could only say:

"Thank you..." Lin Xiao took the thermos, opened it and took a sip.

"Mr. Lin...you just...you were so handsome just now..." Li Shiyuan was very close to Lin Xiao at this time, so close that she could feel the heat radiating from Lin Xiao's body, she felt dizzy, her face was more than just now After playing the ball, the two will still be red.

Marvin drank his coke, looked at Tan Jialin, and looked at Lin and Li playfully.

"Ahem..." Lin Xiao accidentally choked, and Li Shiyuan hurriedly stood on tiptoe and patted Lin Xiao on the back.

"Be careful..." she said with concern.

Such an obvious move made sense.

"..." Lin Xiao pressed Li Shiyuan's hand, looked at the two people opposite him, then looked at the thermos, and said:

"You did this?"

Li Shiyuan nodded, then shook her head again.

Lin Xiao couldn't help laughing, and raised his hand to touch Li Shiyuan's head.

"It's the first time I've tasted his pork heart soup, but the beef noodles in their shop are amazing."

The lie was exposed, Lin Xiao was not angry, and a big stone fell from Li Shiyuan's heart.

"Are you hungry, please go eat noodles." Lin Xiao suggested.

"it is good!"

"Hurrah!"

The other three agreed.

Two cars drove out of the museum, Lin Xiao naturally carried Li Shiyuan, and Marvin's co-pilot was Tan Jialin.

"Shiyuan is enlightened." Marvin said to Tan Jialin seemingly unintentionally.

"Shiyuan is still young." Tan Jialin replied.

"Lin always said that too."

"So the two of them are quite suitable in a certain way."

"Really?" Marvin looked at Tan Jialin and smiled meaningfully.

He didn't believe that Lin Xiao would like Li Shiyuan.

As for Li Shiyuan, she is a little girl, and Marvin won't bother to care about it.

The four had a full meal at the restaurant led by Lin Xiao, and Marvin suggested going to the bar for a sit down.

Li Shiyuan really wanted to stay with Lin Xiao for a while, after all, there was still a lot to say, and Lin Xiao obviously didn't want to go.

Marvin cast his eyes on Tan Jialin, and Tan Jialin smiled and said, "Today is the weekend."

If Tan Jialin is willing to go, Li Shiyuan is naturally willing to go. As long as Li Shiyuan goes, Lin Xiao will definitely accompany her.

So the four of them went to the bar Marvin was familiar with again.

Marvin is a frequent visitor, and many fashionable girls come to say hello after entering the door.He has female companions by his side tonight, and those people don't seem to care. It seems that bringing girls to the bar is in line with Marvin's usual style.

After taking his seat, Marvin couldn't help secretly watching Lin Xiao's face.Lin Xiao's face was calm, without any disturbance.

The four played a game, and the loser had to drink as a fine.

Li Shiyuan naturally had a great time playing, but she could win everything, and kept shouting that she was very lucky today. Marvin and Tan Jialin knew that it was Lin Xiao who kept letting her go.

"Drink slowly." Marvin couldn't help telling Lin Xiao.

"It's okay." Lin Xiao drank the wine in his glass with a smile.

Tan Jialin stared at Marvin intently, as if she cared about Lin Xiao very much, a switch in her heart was suddenly flipped.

Marvin approached Lin Xiao repeatedly and said something, but Lin Xiao laughed it off.After several unsuccessful attempts, Marvin had no choice but to turn to Tan Jialin.

"Where did Miss Tan get rich?"

The music in the bar was very loud, Marvin whispered to Tan Jialin.

"I'm doing insurance sales." Tan Jialin's waist-length wavy curls slipped on Marvin's shoulders, looking very ambiguous.

"Oh? Then you must be making a lot of money." Marvin looked Tan Jialin up and down, thinking that beauty is her unique weapon.

Tan Jialin smiled lightly and shook her head.

"What kind of job does the boyfriend do?" Marvin continued to ask.

"I'm still single." Tan Jialin lightly brushed her long hair, brushing her elbow on Marvin's shoulder.

"Miss Tan really likes to joke."

"Heh...the family has a heavy burden, no one dares to approach."

After Tan Jialin finished speaking, she drank the wine in her hand.The pointed chin was raised, revealing the fair neck line, making one unable to bear looking down.The dress she is wearing today has a V-neck, and the undulating breasts are faintly visible.

So far, Tan Jialin's intention has been very obvious.

How could a veteran like Marvin not understand?Just seeing Li Shiyuan standing on tiptoe and saying something in Lin Xiao's ear opposite him made him feel very uncomfortable.

So Marvin stretched out his long arms, supported Tan Jialin's shoulders, let her come closer to him, and said in his ear:

"That's because they don't understand appreciation."

Tan Jialin pushed Marvin away with a smile, and sat upright, with complicated eyes.

She opened the small bag she was carrying with her, took out a cigarette box, and picked one out from inside to hold it to her mouth.

Marvin took the cigarette in his hand very naturally, looked at the light lipstick stains on the filter, and put it on his lips.

"Thank you." Marvin bit his cigarette, put his head close to Tan Jialin, and said vaguely.

Tan Jialin froze for a moment, then lit the cigarette for Marvin understandingly.

"Jialin!" Someone came over to greet Tan Jialin.Obviously familiar with Tan Jialin.

"This is Peter, the bartender at the bar. Tan Jialin introduced it to everyone."

"Hello!"

Peter greeted the other three people, then whispered something to Tan Jialin, and Tan Jialin immediately got up and said:

"Excuse me, I'm going to chat with my friends."

Tan Jialin and Peter walked to the corner, took a few puffs of the cigarette handed by Peter, and laughed at themselves, "I'm afraid it's going to be a waste of time."

"He used you as a weapon."

Tan Jialin nodded, "It should be."

"I think he's good too." Peter glanced in Lin Xiao's direction.

"You? There's no chance." Tan Jialin bit her lip and sucked a cigarette hard.

"Don't be so depressed!" Peter touched Tan Jialin lightly.

"I think there is still a chance."

Peter analyzed: "I've met this Marvin before. He's quite smart, and he's not stingy. It depends on how you handle it!"

He took Tan Jialin's hand, as if encouraging her.

Tan Jialin felt a small glass bottle being stuffed by Peter in her hand.She hurriedly held it, looking at Peter inexplicably.

"Do you want him to really fall in love with you?" Peter looked directly into Tan Jialin's eyes.

"How come..." Tan Jialin shook her head.

"Then try your best. It doesn't matter if you win or not." After Peter finished speaking, he pushed Tan Jialin's waist.

"But..." Tan Jialin took a step forward, but couldn't help turning back.

"Go!" Peter waved at him.

Tan Jialin hesitated again and again before finally making up her mind and walking in the direction of Marvin again.

"Jialin Jialin." Li Shiyuan threw herself on Tan Jialin and accompanied me to the bathroom.

"Okay!" Tan Jialin quickly grabbed her small bag and accompanied Li Shiyuan to the bathroom. While waiting, she put the small glass bottle that Peter stuffed into her hand into the bag, thinking about how to get rid of Peter's kindness. Safe to use on Marvin.

"Jialin." Li Shiyuan walked out of the bathroom and asked Tan Jialin for advice while washing her hands.

"Why do I feel that Teacher Lin is not very happy?"

"Really?" Tan Jialin responded, and suddenly rolled her eyes, thinking about it.

"He might not like the atmosphere here. Why don't you let him take you home first?"

"But I haven't played enough, it's rare to come here..." Li Shiyuan couldn't catch the point at all.

"You two get along alone, won't you?" Tan Jialin enlightened.

"Is that okay? Would it be embarrassing..."

"How will you know if you don't try. You haven't confessed your feelings yet."

"right!"

After accepting Tan Jialin's encouragement, the two returned to their seats again. Marvin was playing with the cup in his hand boredly, seeing Tan Jialin seemed to see a savior.

The four of them had another round of drinking, Tan Jialin winked at Li Shiyuan, and Li Shiyuan immediately understood.

"I feel a little tired... Jialin, will you accompany me home?"

After hearing this, Tan Jialin looked at Lin Xiao and Marvin with a look of embarrassment.

"Is it still early?"

"It's not too early." Lin Xiao responded first.

"Shiyuan, why don't I take you home first."

"I'll take it off, I'll be back soon!" Marvin stood up hastily.

"It's okay, you can play for a while." Lin Xiao picked up Li Shiyuan's coat.

"Come back later? I have something to tell you." Marvin grabbed Lin Xiao's hand holding the coat.

"Call again if you have something to do." Lin Xiao retracted his hand.

"Let's take our leave first." After speaking, he accompanied Li Shiyuan and left the bar.

"I'll see you off." Seeing this, Marvin didn't care to put on his coat, and chased after him.

Tan Jialin was left alone at the table.She switched the bag from left hand to right hand, and from right hand to left hand.

do my best!She gave herself a shot in the arm and reached into her bag.

After a while, Marvin returned to his seat with a slightly calm expression.

"Do you feel disappointed?" Tan Jialin asked.

"How come!" Marvin put on a smile.

"Come on, let's toast!"

"it is good!"

Tan Jialin watched Marvin drink up the wine in the glass, and then slowly drank the wine in her hand.

Lin Xiao drove the car steadily, while Li Shiyuan beside him was rare and quiet.

"Shiyuan, what are you thinking?" Lin Xiao broke the silence.

"It's nothing..." Li Shiyuan suddenly recovered from her thoughts, her big eyes were dull.

"Heh..." Lin Xiao smiled slightly.

"Is there an older brother in Shiyuan's family?"

"No, I'm the only child in the family." Li Shiyuan replied honestly.

"Will Teacher Lin be your big brother?"

"Ah?" Li Shiyuan couldn't help opening her mouth wide.

"No, no, no."

"What's the matter? Think Teacher Lin is too old?"

"No, no." Li Shiyuan shook her head quickly, but she forgot that she was wearing a pair of long earrings of Tan Jialin today, because she shook her head so fast that the earrings hit her face.

"It hurts!" Li Shiyuan couldn't help rubbing her face.

"Haha..." Lin Xiao was amused by Li Shiyuan.

Li Shiyuan was so embarrassed that she buried her head deeply, not daring to speak out.

"You just... have nothing to say to Teacher Lin?" Lin Xiao asked casually.

"Yes!" Li Shiyuan suddenly raised her head, remembering Tan Jialin's earnest teaching.

"that..."

"what..."

"Ms. Lin, we... can we get along well?" Li Shiyuan expressed her feelings carefully.

"Hmm..." Lin Xiao wasn't surprised when he heard that.

"Does Shiyuan like Teacher Lin?"

"I like it!" Li Shiyuan emphasized her tone with a nod.

"But Teacher Lin treats Shiyuan like a little sister."

"Ah..." Hearing what he said, Li Shiyuan couldn't help but think that if Lin Xiao was really his brother, he seemed to be quite happy.

"But..."

"But what? Still don't like Teacher Lin as your big brother?"

"No, no..." Li Shiyuan quickly defended.

"Shiyuan, what does it feel like to like someone?" Lin Xiao also began to cast a net.

"I can't tell..."

"Shall we make an analogy? Like Marvin."

"What's the matter with Marvin?" Li Shiyuan began to play tricks.

"Marvin is funny and generous, do you like him?"

"..." Li Shiyuan fell into deep thought.

"Every time he asks you out, you are willing to come out to play, are you also interested in Marvin?"

"That's not called liking... That's called... That's called having a good impression." Li Shiyuan thought of Tan Jialin's persuasive guidance to her.

"So, Mr. Lin and Marvin are both Shiyuan's good friends?"

"Well, that's right... No, it seems to be different."

"What's the difference?"

"This... oh... I can't tell." Li Shiyuan couldn't think of an answer, and couldn't help frowning.

"Heh..." Seeing that Li Shiyuan had almost taken the bait, Lin Xiao said in relief:

"You are still young, and the environment in the museum is relatively simple. I think... I think if you really like someone, then you don't need to think like this, and you don't need others to remind you, you will have the answer yourself."

"Is that so?" Li Shiyuan raised her face.

"That's right." Didn't Sewon fall in love when she was studying?

"I went to a girls' school..."

"Haha...so. Teacher Lin hopes that you will take the initiative to tell me in the future that you like someone and want to associate with him."

"Really? Teacher Lin is not angry when I like someone?"

"Of course not. Mr. Lin regards you as his younger sister, and will only be happy for you. But this person, Mr. Lin, needs to investigate carefully."

"Ha!" Li Shiyuan couldn't help laughing because she didn't know what picture she thought of.

"Ms. Lin, you look like my father!"

"Hahahaha...is Mr. Lin that old?" Lin Xiao laughed out loud.

"Not anymore...that's... just like the elders. Hahahaha..." Seeing that Lin Xiao was not angry, Li Shiyuan also laughed.

Lin Xiao sent Li Shiyuan home, said goodbye to her, and then went straight back to his home.

In the bar, Marvin was drunk and his eyes were hazy, watching Tan Jialin beside him gradually appear double.

"Lin... Jialin..." Marvin shook his head, "Today... let's end here today."

"go home?"

"Okay...back...back to your house..."

Tan Jialin stared at the stumbling Marvin, and slowly opened her mouth, "Okay."

When Marvin opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning.

"Hmm..." Marvin clenched his fist with his right hand and gently hung his forehead.

"You're awake." Someone said.

"Hmm..." Marvin closed his eyes again, suddenly turned over and sat up suddenly, and saw Li Shiyuan sitting beside him with a cup.

"Where is this place?" Marvin was startled.Touching his body again, he changed into a large T-shirt at some point.

"This is my home." Li Shiyuan put down her glass and looked at Marvin with research eyes.

"How could I...how could I be at your house?"

"You are so angry that you want to come in, you can't even drive away." Li Shiyuan's eyes widened, and she pointed her finger at the tip of Marvin's nose unceremoniously.

"Jialin for a while, and Lin for a while... Your home is so comfortable..." Li Shiyuan imitated Marvin's tone with her waist in her hands.

"I have to wear earplugs to sleep!"

"I slept here last night?"

"Yeah, it's just one room, can it be let out for you to sleep in? It's a good idea!"

"..." Marvin scratched his head, but couldn't remember how he got to Li Shiyuan's house last night.

"Where is Tan Jialin?" He only remembered that he was with Tan Jialin at the end last night.

"Karin is going to the pharmacy."

"Go to the pharmacy?" Marvin didn't know why for a moment.

"You...huh!" Li Shiyuan stood up and ignored Marvin.

At this moment, the door of the room opened suddenly, and Tan Jialin walked in with a cold air.

"Hey! It's really cold today."She has changed into casual attire.Walked in and handed Li Shiyuan a paper bag.

"This is breakfast, I apologize to you, please go to the room to eat."

"It's not too bad!" Li Shiyuan grabbed the breakfast bag without any hesitation.

"Hmph! I won't give you food!" After speaking, he turned and went back to his room.

"Are you awake? Do you drink water?" Tan Jialin put down the things in her hands, turned around and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water.

But Marvin didn't answer, and turned his head to look at Tan Jialin for a while, but there was no special expression on Tan Jialin's face.

"Sorry, I was too drunk last night... Are we okay?"

Seeing this, Tan Jialin sat down on her own, took out a pill from the plastic bag she brought, and swallowed it with water.

"what are you eating?"

"Medication after the event." Tan Jialin stopped talking after finishing speaking.

"You mean what happened to us yesterday... what?"

Tan Jialin nodded naturally.

"Impossible!" Marvin didn't believe it.

"Heh..." Tan Jialin smiled.

"It doesn't matter." She looked calm.

"What do you want to eat? I bought it...and soy milk..." She stopped talking about this topic and checked the contents of the plastic bag.

"Tan Jialin, what do you want?" The more calm Tan Jialin was, the more annoyed Marvin felt.

"What do I want?" Tan Jialin took out the soy milk and took a sip, "Then please take care of me at work." She extended her hand friendly.

Marvin hesitated for a moment, and held Tan Jialin's hand.

"You come to our company tomorrow, and Secretary Qin will receive you."

"That would be very much appreciated."
