    The man seemed to have changed.

    But Xue Xue couldn’t tell exactly what had changed.

    “You just stay here with me for now, and we’ll talk about it later when He An moves back.”

    The next morning, after the housekeeping aunt prepared breakfast and left, Zhao Heping said this to Xue Xue, who had just gotten up and still looked confused.

    “Huh?” She yawned while rubbing her eyes.”Is it okay? This would be too much trouble, big brother.”

    “You call me eldest brother, are you still like me?”

    Xue Xue looked at Zhao Heping with a confused look on his face.

    Even though I had washed my face, I still felt sleepy for some reason, and my eyelids were so heavy that they felt like they would fall off at any moment.

    Zhao Heping also saw it.

    “Not enough sleep? Go sleep for a while?”

    “No, no, no.” Xue Xue sniffed.”It’ll be fine in a moment.”

    “Then come over and have breakfast together first.” Zhao Heping put his hand on her shoulder naturally.”You can try to see if the food cooked by this aunt is to your liking. If not, just find another one.”

    Hearing this, Xue Xue trembled.

    She finally knew something was wrong.

    Zhao Heping’s attitude was very different from before, and she always understood it to be due to guilt.

    After all, in Xue Qi’s memory, although Zhao Heping was not close to him because of his status, he was actually a very good person.

    Even if he is psychologically rejected, he will still lend a helping hand and help.

    But the boundaries between them are clear and cannot be crossed.

    Invisible high walls stand in between.

    But now, that invisible wall has disappeared unknowingly.

    Using Zhao Heping’s guilt to help him, and preventing the other party from being careless and falling into the trap that Zhao He’an would set in some form or another, was to kill two birds with one stone.

    So far, Xue Xue is quite satisfied with his plan.

    I didn’t encounter much problems in implementation.

    But Zhao Heping’s current performance…

    “Are you looking for a job?”

    “Huh?”

    “If necessary, I can help introduce you. You probably want to stay in Jingnan, right? I heard Aunt Wang means the same thing.”

    “Uh… um.”

    “Or do you plan to continue studying?”

    “No, let’s work first.” Xue Xue cheered up and replied seriously: “Accumulate experience and then decide whether to further study based on the situation.”

    “Not bad.” Zhao Heping gracefully cut open the golden and crispy poached eggs and put them on the whole wheat toast.”But there’s no rush in this matter. You’ve just graduated. It’s good to rest and plan at the same time.”

    “If you need any help, just tell me directly and don’t be polite to me, okay?”

    This time, Xue Xue was no longer polite.

    “Okay.”

    Zhao Heping tilted his head.

    “Progress.”

    Xue Xue didn’t know why.

    “I finally didn’t say thank you to me this time.” Zhao Heping stared at her with a serious look.”Every time you talk to me like this, it makes me feel like we are inferior.”

    “It’s like deliberately drawing a clear line.”

    “…Haha.” Xue Xue laughed awkwardly after her little thoughts were discovered.”Brother, you think too much.”

    She paused and explained in a joking tone: “Maybe it’s because I’m a very polite person, so I’m used to saying thank you to others.”

    “Indeed.” After hearing her words, Zhao Heping also smiled.”Brother Ze said the same thing.”

    Mentioning Yue Ze, Xue Xue thought of how many times the other party had helped him.

    Especially that time at the bar.

    “I should treat him to a meal.”

    Zhao Heping’s movements paused.

    He put down his fork and asked calmly: “Why do you suddenly want to treat him to dinner?”

    “It’s not sudden, it’s just that he helped me a lot, and I even ate and drank a few times for free, but I didn’t even say anything, so I didn’t feel very good.”

    The nightmare had troubled Xue Xue for a while, but thanks to Yue Ze, the situation got better.

    “It’s okay, Brother Ze won’t care.” Zhao Heping said calmly: “If you really invite him to dinner, he might be sad and feel that you don’t treat him as a friend.”

    “Is that so?”

    “Well, and you are in Jingnan now. If you really want to ask me, please wait until next time when you go back.”

    “Hmm.” Xue Xue thought for a while and felt that what he said made sense.”Then let’s talk about it then.”

    Zhao Heping’s tense nerves relaxed.

    Looking at Xue Xue, who was eating as obediently and quickly as a little squirrel, his eyes darkened.

    “I’ll go back with you in a while.”

    “Huh?”

    “You have to pack your clothes. If you don’t mind, it’s okay to buy new ones. When I get out of the company in the afternoon, I can take you to the department store in the city to pick them up.”

    Zhao Heping’s words came one after another, making Xue Xue almost unable to react.

    “Wait, wait a minute!” She put down the glass still filled with milk, almost choking because of her anxiety.”I, cough, cough, I haven’t said I want to live here yet!”

    “Do you want to go back to live?”

    Zhao Heping’s expression changed, and the majesty of the older man was revealed, making people feel the pressure unconsciously.

    In the past two years, he has really worked hard.

    He is obviously only in his twenties, but his aura is already unmatched by his peers.

    Not to mention Zhao He’an.

    But in the end, the winner was not Zhao Heping.

    What went wrong?

    Xue Xue’s dazed moment made the man misunderstand.

    “Do you really want to go back and live there?”

    He suppressed his voice, and his beautiful voice was like the splash of water when a big wave falls into the sea, full of depressing power.

    “No.” After coming back to his senses, Xue Xue explained: “I just thought, well, I didn’t mean to go back and live there.”

    At first, she hesitated to tell Zhao Heping about her plan to rent a house outside, but then she thought, everyone would know about it sooner or later, and there was no point in hiding it.

    So Xue Xue told the truth.
