Chapter 169: Whoever wants to be tempted first loses

He wouldn't do that kind of thing anyway.

Song Yu didn't speak again, and a little sadness swelled up in his heart. A marriage where interests are paramount, what can be maintained is only the network of interests. Once the interests collapse, the net will also fall apart. Where does the affection come from?

In such a marriage, whoever is the first to be tempted loses.

Tang Chengen is the same as Xue Zhaoying, and she is the same as Tang Xu. It may even be something that will never be crossed.

was obviously thinking about Tang Chengen, but I didn't know how to think of this. Song Yu was powerless to contain the sadness spreading in his heart, so he had to let it overflow. She sat motionless, as if the grief would completely envelop her if she moved.

Tang Xu lit a cigarette and smoked it, saw her sitting motionless, and asked, "What?"

Song Yu didn't speak immediately, and only said in a low voice after a while: "It's not much." ”

This was the end of the conversation between the two, and neither of them spoke again for the rest of the day. He sat in silence. After a long time, Song Yu got up and went back to his room to sleep.

Although she went to sleep, she couldn't sleep at all. The grief that had calmed down in the darkness returned, and she could barely breathe. The body was lying motionless under the quilt.

Even if you pretend to be nothing, it is only superficial.

But it's actually good, at least to be able to live in peace on the surface. Originally, it was she who broke the rules.

She opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling in the darkness.

Song Yu got up early the next day, made breakfast early as before, and Tang Xu got up. Pretending to be indifferent, this way of getting along with each other probably made Tang Xu quite satisfied, and sat down at the dining table and said: "Auntie has something at home and can't come for a few days, go out and take the clothes to the dry cleaner by the way." ”

He commanded rather casually. In the past, Song Yu also did this kind of thing from time to time, and now he nodded his head.

Tang Xu had a meeting in the morning, and left after breakfast. Song Yu took his clothes to the dry cleaner after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

She hadn't found Xue Zhaoying yet, so she called at noon and asked if Song Yu was at home. said that it was rare to be free today, and the last time I said that we would go out together, I asked her if she was free. If she is free, she will call Wen Yi again.

Song Yu also happened to want to see her, so he said that he was free.

Xue Zhaoying asked her to wait at home, saying that she would drive over to pick her up later.

She didn't know where she was when she called, but she came quickly, in less than half an hour. She was the only one in the car, and there was no warmth.

As soon as Song Yu got in the car and wanted to ask, Xue Zhaoying said with a smile: "I called my sister-in-law, but she is not available." It's not easy to get everyone together, so I'll call her together later. ”

I don't know if she was premeditated like this, but she has already gotten into the car, and she can only be covered by soldiers. Song Yu nodded and smiled in response.

Xue Zhaoying skillfully played the steering wheel and said with a smile: "Today, the two little guys are under the care of their grandmother, and I can finally rest for a day." After having a little one, I have no personal freedom at all. ”

When she said this, she looked sideways at Song Yu and asked, "By the way, you haven't asked your brother and sister where you want to go?"

Since she came prepared, she must have already set a predetermined place. Song Yu said at this time: "You can go anywhere, you can do it, second sister-in-law." ”

Xue Zhaoying smiled and said, "Then I'm welcome." I studied the travel guide you sent me carefully, in fact, we have a lot of places to play here. Let's go to one place casually today, and when my sister-in-law is free, we'll go to other places together. ”

Song Yu smiled and agreed.

Sure enough, everyone is an acting school, Tang Chengen and Tang Xu have already torn their faces, but she can still go out with Song Yu casually.

Xue Zhaoying's car went around in a circle, and the last place she stopped was Tianjing Lane, which was the place where she photographed Tang Chengen trading with someone, and it was also the place where the girl was killed.

She really wanted to test something.

Tang Chengen was promoted, and the higher he was, the more he couldn't make any mistakes. It's perfectly normal that they'll try it again.

I don't know if Tang Chengen told Xue Zhaoying and Pan about it, her performance looked similar to usual, and she said with a smile: "I heard that there is a claypot rice here that is delicious, I have long wanted to come and eat it." Let's try it today, and come back later if it's delicious. ”

It's like he's just here to have fun and eat and drink.

Song Yu smiled and said yes.

There are all kinds of snacks on both sides of the alley during the day, Xue Zhaoying was born superior, and she has never been willing to touch things on the side of the road, but now she made a very interested look. bought a little bit of everything, beckoning Song Yu to eat together. And ask this and that from time to time.

She rarely comes to such a place, and she doesn't even know about many of the local snacks. It's all up to Song Yu to introduce her.

The alley was long and narrow, and it was not very convenient for Xue Zhaoying to walk in high heels, and after walking for a while, she saw a teahouse in front of her and said to Song Yu: "Let's go in and sit down." ”

Song Yu responded, and the two entered the teahouse together.

The environment of the teahouse was elegant, Xue Zhaoying was not so disgusted now, and found a place to sit down.

There was no one at this time, and after sitting down, a waiter came over and asked the two of them what they wanted to drink. In addition to a variety of teas, there are also a variety of sweets that go well with tea.

Xue Zhaoying naturally ordered the most expensive tea, and also ordered a few plates of dim sum. After finishing at the point, he looked at Song Yu and asked, "Brother and sister, you and the third brother are preparing to have a child, is there any news?"

She had a look of concern.

In the past, Mrs. Tang and Tang's mother were urging to have children, but I don't know if Tang Xu said something or what, but they haven't urged them anymore recently.

Song Yu didn't know why she would ask about this, but it would never be a concern. She smiled faintly and said, "Let it be." ”

As soon as she finished her words, a waiter wearing an apron brought tea and rich snacks. She helped put the snacks on the table.

After the things were put on the table, the waiter went down quickly, Xue Zhaoying's eyes flashed, and he squeezed his eyes towards Song Yu, and said: "You have been married for so long, how can you not have children if you really want them?"

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Song Yu to speak, and then said: "Do you not want your younger brother and sister or do you not want the third brother?"

Her question was followed by a barrage of questions, the last of which was particularly concerning.

I don't know why she asked about this, Song Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said vaguely: "Where did the second sister-in-law go, we didn't want it." It's just that this kind of thing can't be rushed, and it has to go with the flow. ”

Xue Zhaoying blinked her eyes as if she hadn't heard her words, and said, "It's because the third brother doesn't want it, right? We women all like children, as long as we are married, there are very few who don't want children." ”

She seemed to have to get an answer.

Song Yu made a helpless look and said, "We really don't want it. He didn't want it. ”

Xue Zhaoying completely ignored her words, and said slyly: "I knew that the third brother didn't want it, and you shouldn't cover it up for him when my brother and sister are here." Rest assured, I promise to keep it a secret. ”

The more they explained, the more they seemed to be empty-minded, although they were indeed just perfunctory to their elders. Song Yu just smiled helplessly at this time, and didn't argue and explain anything.

Xue Zhaoying didn't continue to stare at and ask, and said, "Do you know why the eldest brother and sister-in-law have never had children?"

She had a mysterious face.

Song didn't know about this, but she didn't have the habit of gossiping behind her back. It's just that before she could speak, Xue Zhaoying said: "The eldest brother and sister-in-law have been married for so many years and have no children, and many people will definitely guess that they can't give birth." She paused deliberately, and after a few tens of seconds, she continued: "Actually, it's not. I heard that the eldest brother and sister-in-law did not want children because they had an agreement before marriage. That's why it's not good. I heard that my father also knew about this, and later my father seemed to have asked my eldest brother and sister-in-law to have a long talk, but I don't know what they talked about, and then no one in the family urged them to have children. ”

She said and winked at Song Yu and said, "The eldest brother and sister-in-law are so affectionate, I can't see it, right." Affection can also be pretended, if it is really affection, how can you not have children? I just don't know if the eldest brother doesn't want it or the sister-in-law doesn't want it. ”

Song Yu didn't know how she could gossip with her, but he smiled faintly and picked up the teacup and drank the tea.

If she didn't speak, the gossip would be meaningless, and Xue Zhaoying would not continue. took out his mobile phone and called the two children at home.

Song Yu looked at the smile on her face and couldn't help but be a little distracted. She is here chatting about other people's gossip, I don't know if she knows, although she has given birth to children for her husband, but for her husband, she is just an outsider.

This is undoubtedly tragic.

Song Yu's heart also swelled with sadness, and he quickly retracted his gaze and began to drink tea.

The two rested for a while, drank tea and ate snacks and continued to walk around the alley, Xue Zhaoying seemed very interested, and asked this and that for a while, Song Yu answered one by one.

After walking for a while, she suddenly looked sideways at Song Yu and asked with a smile: "My brother and sister are so familiar with this side, why don't you come over?"

Her eyes were staring straight at Song Yu, not letting go of the slightest expression on her face.

Song Yu knew that this was the purpose of her asking her out today. The expression on her face did not change in any way, she smiled and said, "Since I came to work in the company, I am quite familiar with the streets and alleys of most of the city. ”

She couldn't find the slightest mistake in this answer, Xue Zhaoying laughed dryly, and said, "I knew that you were so familiar with this place, so I won't come here today." You're not impatient, are you?"

"No, the second sister-in-law thinks too much. I'm here to run the news, so how can I have time to shop like this. ”

Xue Zhaoying sighed and said, "How did you think of being a reporter? Reporter is really hard enough, and he doesn't go out to work overtime at night, right?"

There was a tentative in her tone.

"Fortunately, if you are not in a hurry, you rarely go out to run at night. But the class is not less, and there are a lot of other things to do besides running out. Song Yu's tone was casual, and when he saw a very cute porcelain cup on the side, he stopped and looked at it.

Xue Zhaoying was obviously not satisfied with such an answer, but it was not good to try it any further, so she had to stop the topic and said, "It's not easy to go to work. She glanced at the cheap porcelain cups on the stall, rolled her eyes, and asked, "It's so hard to work outside, brother and sister, you never thought of going to work on the third brother's side? ”

Song Yu smiled faintly and said, "I'm quite satisfied with my current work." ”

Xue Zhaoying laughed dryly and didn't continue the topic.

probably hadn't thought of a better way to test Song Yu yet, and before he finished walking in the alley, Xue Zhaoying said that he was tired. She didn't bother to come to such a small place, where could she stay.

Song Yu didn't go any further, and returned the same way with her.

Xue Zhaoying still remembered going to eat claypot rice, and reluctantly went to eat in the small restaurant with Song Yu and left in a hurry on the grounds that she had to take care of the children.

She didn't send Song Yu back, but mentioned it casually. Song Yu asked her to go first on the grounds that she was not on the way, and she drove away without being polite.

Although I walked around, it was only a little more. Song Yu didn't know where to go for a while, so he stood on the side of the road for a while before getting on the bus.

Tang Xu didn't know where she got the news, she just got in the car when he called and asked, "Where are you?"

Song Yu replied that he was on the bus.

Tang Xu was silent on the other end of the phone for a moment, and asked, "Xue Zhaoying asked you out?"

Song Yu didn't ask him how he knew, knowing that he was busy, he said after a sigh: "It's nothing, go home and say." ”

Tang Xu didn't say anything more, and hung up the phone directly.

had already said that it was okay, she thought that Tang Xu would come back late, but who knew that he would already be at home when he got home.

His brow furrowed slightly, and when he saw her, he asked, "Why did she remember to ask you out?"

Song Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know." But she mentioned this matter last time, but she just said that she was calling her sister-in-law together. Today she also called her sister-in-law, but her sister-in-law had something. She paused when she said this, said everything Xue Zhaoying asked her, and then continued: "I can handle it myself." ”

Her tone was very serious.

Tang Xu's frowning brows relaxed, walked to the sofa and sat down, and said with a smile: "Where did Mrs. Tang think of going? Every step of her action was instructed by Tang Chengen, and finding out what she wanted to do was to find out what Tang Chengen wanted to do. ”

Oh, it turned out that she was self-inflicted. People don't come back so quickly because they care.

Song Yu touched his nose at this time, said a word to change clothes, and hurried back to the room.

Tang Xu didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't even rush to leave, he closed his eyes on the sofa and didn't know what he was thinking.

Song Yu was a little thirsty, so he went to squeeze the watermelon juice he had just bought yesterday. also poured a cup for Tang Xu and put it in front of him.

Hearing the sound of putting the cup, Tang Xu opened his eyes, saw the watermelon juice put on it, took a sip, and said thank you without any sincerity.

Song Yu met Kong Fan on the first day of returning to work, she didn't seem to have changed as usual, she didn't go in and out of the office by herself, she was pushed by someone. At the elevator entrance, I saw Song Yu greet with a smile on his face as usual: "It's a coincidence, I met Miss Song again." ”

She looked the same as ever, but her smile was condescending. It seems to be reminding Song Yu of something.

Song Yu also smiled slightly, and said lightly, which was quite a coincidence.

Naturally, there was nothing to say on such an occasion, Kong Fan didn't say anything more, and they separated after going upstairs.

Peng Xi was a little surprised to see the two of them coming out of the elevator together, and said, "She hasn't been to the company for a long time, and it's really a coincidence that the two of you came up together today." ”

She said and looked over at Kong Fan's office, she hadn't been here for a long time, and she didn't know what she was doing today.

Song Yu just smiled faintly and didn't speak.

She hadn't been here for a long time, but she came so early this morning. This shouldn't be a coincidence, I'm afraid it's special.

Peng Xi was still puzzled, and said, "What is she doing here so early?" Editor-in-Chief Xie hasn't arrived yet. ”

It wasn't just Peng Xi who was puzzled, but also other colleagues in the office. No one knew what Kong Fan was doing so early, but no one asked.

When he first came, Kong Fan was like a little sister next door, approachable and generous. It's not like a delicate girl born in a privileged environment at all. But that was only for a while, and she didn't interact with anyone in the office since. I rarely come back again. The occasional greeting was just a detached smile.

There are a lot of people who are in a hurry, but people don't sell it, so they are alienated.

There are a lot of things piled up, and it doesn't matter if people come or not, and soon they will be busy with their own things.

Song Yu had not yet been assigned a specific job when he first came, so he still followed Peng Xi as before.

Peng Xi had an appointment to go outside to run the news, so he only stayed in the office for a while and left. When he came back, Kong Fan didn't know when he was gone.

This year's weather is somehow colder than usual, although it has only passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the temperature has dropped. The weather is gloomy and often drizzling, and some people even turn out their cotton clothes early.

The club has not been very busy during this time, and it is very punctual to get off work, and Song Yu has not worked overtime much since he came back.

When she got home from work, she had nothing to do, so she began to pick up the half-knitted scarf that she had learned from Sister Du.

She had never done such a thing, and when she was knitting a scarf, she subconsciously took advantage of Tang Xu's absence.

She was so focused on knitting that night that she didn't even notice when Tang Xu came into the house.
