Chapter 17: Hugs

After calming Wenwen to sleep, Zhang Xiaoxiao used a pen to record the things he was going to buy in the supermarket tomorrow. Tomorrow's schedule is already full, accompany Huang Tingting to the beauty clinic in the morning, take Wenwen shopping in the afternoon, how can you take Wenwen to eat a good meal in the evening, and then go to the playground to play, the day after tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, Wenwen has to go back to Feng Sen, can not be delayed any longer. After a busy day during the day, she used her brain casually at night, and she felt so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, she put down her things and was about to turn off the lights to sleep, but the phone rang unexpectedly, she picked it up and saw that it was the phone of a thunderstorm.

"Xiaoxiao, hello, didn't disturb your rest, right?"

"Mr. Lei, hello, no. ”

"Excuse me, can you go find Mr. Huang, I can't contact him!"

"Didn't he go to England?"

"I haven't been there yet, it's tomorrow's plane. ”

"Oh, that Huang is always not resting early, so ......"

"Probably not, something happened to his family, and I'm worried about him...... I called for more than an hour, and no one answered. ”

"Mr. Lei, don't worry too much, can you wait any longer, I think Mr. Huang has always been a maverick, maybe just to catch tomorrow's plane and go to bed early." Moreover, it is just me and the child at home, and the child has already slept, and I want to watch him. Otherwise, I'm sure I won't say a word, Mr. Lei, what do you see?"

"Okay, I'll see if there's anyone else, excuse me. ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiaoxiao began to fidget, and after more than half a year in the company, although Lei Yu did not substantially help her, he said a lot of good things for her on occasions and occasions. Besides, he is also his own leader, he has never opened his mouth to let himself do anything, the first time he opened his mouth, he was bluntly rejected, and he really couldn't bear it, and the moment he finally hung up the phone, he already felt that he was actually a little unhappy. I used to think that I would work hard after the year, be a good leader, and strive for the opportunity to be promoted, but this opportunity to perform was in front of me, but I was rejected like a fool. After thinking about it, she picked up her mobile phone and called back, but the other party was busy, so she sent a message and asked him to send Huang Zixuan's house number, saying that she would go immediately.

Children must not be left at home alone, although Wenwen sleeps from night to dawn, but five or six-year-old children, if they wake up, find that there is no one at home, the consequences are unimaginable. I hurriedly put on his clothes, picked up the keys and mobile phone, and went downstairs with the child in my arms.

Zhang Xiaoxiao can roughly find Huang Zixuan's house, when she arrived at the door, she took out her mobile phone and checked it, and after confirming that it was right, she began to knock on the door, knocked for a long time and no one paid attention, and called again, but still no one answered, because she was holding the child, she was already tired and sweating, she began to get a little angry, knocking on the door a lot louder, seeing that no one opened the door, the anger began to be mixed with panic, she began to knock on the door hard, while shouting Huang Zong, shouting Huang Zixuan in a hurry. Suddenly, the door opened, and Zhang Xiaoxiao just shouted out the three words Huang Zixuan with all his strength, and his facial features were still hideous and stiff.

didn't care about the embarrassment, because Huang Zixuan just glanced at her, then walked crookedly to the sofa and collapsed on the sofa. If you complain in your stomach, you can't say anything when you look at this situation. Although the room is full of alcohol, except for the coffee table, the rest of the place is still very clean and tidy. Zhang Xiaoxiao brought Wenwen, who had woken up, to the sofa and asked him to sit down. I started to clean up the coffee table, boiled some boiling water, and rummaged through the refrigerator, but the refrigerator basically didn't have anything, so I had to go to the kitchen to get some vinegar and a little warm boiled water, ready to relieve Huang Zixuan's hangover.

After helping Huang Zixuan to sit up, Zhang Xiaoxiao motioned to Wenwen to bring the water cup over, and after Wenwen brought the cup over, he directly fed Huang Zixuan, Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing. Huang Zixuan saw Wenwen dimly, struggled to sit up straight, picked up the water, took a sip, and frowned.

"It's vinegar-soaked water, it tastes a little worse, but the hangover is good. ”

"I'm going to get drunk, what kind of drink?"

said no, but the body was very honest, and Huang Zixuan drank it all.

"What's wrong with you, Lei is always worried about you, just now he sent me a message to tell me that he will take the first bus to come and see you tomorrow morning. We called you a lot, but you didn't answer, do you know how worried everyone is about you, if you don't open the door just now, I'll call 110 to call the police, you know?" Zhang Xiaoxiao said, emotional, with a harsh tone in her tone.

"Are you worried about me?" he looked at her with red eyes.

What did he mean by that, was it the most ambiguous one? Or did he drink too much and couldn't tell who he was? She looked at Wenwen in a panic.

"Go to bed and rest, lie down and sleep somewhere. She hurriedly distracted from the awkward situation, and then, without waiting for him to respond, she stood up and helped him. She felt that he could walk on his own, but he still obediently let her hold and did not shake her off as before. After she helped him lie down, she covered him with the quilt.

"I have to send the child back to sleep, if there is anything, you can call me, but you don't don't answer the phone, otherwise, next time I won't come by myself, I'll just call 110." ”

"Xiaoxiao, she is already gone, and I plan to go to see her tomorrow, but I can't catch up. ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao had already walked to the door, and when she heard Huang Zixuan's words, she wondered: Gone? Who is leaving? She slowly turned around and saw that Huang Zixuan had already sat up, with a sad face, the corners of his eyes drooping, and tears had come out of his eyes. She gradually came to her senses, and her brain was buzzing like a blow to the head, and her whole body suddenly became heavy as if she had been infused with something. Zhang Xiaoxiao stood in place, unable to think of any words of comfort for a long time.

After a long time, Zhang Xiaoxiao made up her mind and slowly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down.

"I know that you regret it in your heart, and it is very uncomfortable, it turns out that I have been very worried, but I didn't expect it to really become a regret. However, what you should do now is to quickly pack your things and go to see her one last time. ”

"What's the point, what's the point of going now!" he replied with his head down and a hoarse voice.

She took him by the shoulders and took him into her arms, her right hand rubbing his hair. He was the second man she had ever cuddled. At this moment, he is like an aggrieved child, waiting for others to give him comfort, this hug has no other meaning, only to represent comfort.

"You're her child, and you deserve to give her one last ride. If you say what you don't say, she can hear it, and if she hears it, she will be very happy. ”

In fact, she is an atheist, people are dead and nothing, these sensational words, she is just comforting Huang Zixuan, the dead are a hundred, but the living must unload their burdens and forget their sorrows. Huang Zixuan was originally depressed for more than 30 years because of this knot, but now for such a regret, he is almost about to collapse now, if he doesn't make amends in the end, I'm afraid he will be sad for the rest of his life.

Hearing the ringing of his mobile phone in the living room from afar, Zhang Xiaoxiao gently pushed Huang Zixuan away, took out a piece of tissue paper and wiped it for him. Then go to the living room to answer the phone. The call came from a thunderstorm, and he actually booked a flight from Beijing to the provincial capital half an hour later, and if the flight arrived on time, it would arrive two hours before Huang Zixuan's flight took off. Zhang Xiaoxiao told Lei Yu that he would arrange Huang Zixuan's itinerary, please rest assured. hung up the phone, she sighed in her heart: Lei Yu really spared no effort to be good to Huang Zixuan, people say that the same sex is true love, Feng Sen has one-tenth of Lei Yu's intentions, and they will not come to this point today.

"Have you packed your things, Lei always said that he will arrive two hours before your flight, and he asked me to help you pack up. ”

"I don't have anything to pack. ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly, looked around, found a boarding suitcase, and began to pack things for Huang Zixuan, and found that Huang Zixuan was looking at him, she smiled and said softly and hard: "If you don't sleep for a while, or go take a shower and change your clothes." Huang Zixuan was stunned, then got up and went out. Zhang Xiaoxiao counted the change of clothes that were about enough for three or four days, and carefully folded them and put them in the box to prevent her from being disliked, and then went to the bathroom to get some toiletries, and when she got to the bathroom, she realized that Huang Zixuan was not taking a bath.

When he walked to the living room, Huang Zixuan was sitting on the sofa, and Wenwen, who was asleep, was lying in his arms, and when he felt Xiaoxiao coming, he opened his half-squinted eyes. The two of them didn't speak, they just looked at each other. Zhang Xiaoxiao had a strange feeling in her heart, which was indescribable and unclear.

"I'll carry him to sleep. Zhang Xiaoxiao opened her arms and wanted to hug Wenwen.

Huang Zixuan stood up, hugged Wenwen, walked into his room, put the child on the bed, took off his coat for him, and gently and carefully covered the quilt. Zhang Xiaoxiao followed behind and watched him settle the child, and then came to the living room with the box.

"You see what's missing, remember to bring your passport and ID card, I'll cook you some food now, and you can set off when you're done, I'll drive you to Nanjing later, do you have coffee here, I'll make a little bit, and I'll refresh you on the way later." ”

Huang Zixuan didn't answer, he went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water, sat on the sofa and drank it.

There was nothing to eat in the refrigerator, so I finally pulled out a steak from the freezer layer below, added an egg, fried it and brought it to the table. Huang Zixuan pulled down the beef that had been fried in a hurry with a fork, sighed, cut a piece, and found that it was too old to swallow, Zhang Xiaoxiao knew in his heart that his cooking skills were not good, so he hurriedly diverted his attention.

"Mr. Huang, you can take the passport and ID card. There is also a mobile phone you want to ring, remember to answer Mr. Lei's call. Also, if you arrive first, you have to check in first, in case Lei can't catch up, he must find a way to arrive later, you can go first, you can't miss this opportunity again, otherwise Auntie will be very sad. ”

"You...... Is it nagging?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled wryly and stood up: "Are you still taking a bath, if you don't wash it, I'll go to dress the child now, it will take more than two hours to get to the airport, and we can leave now." ”

Huang Zixuan grabbed her hand and whispered, "Sit down!" After a while, he continued: "You let the child sleep a little longer, and I'll go to the airport by myself." ”

"No, I'm afraid you'll run away again, and then Ray will have to blame me. The big truth blurted out from Zhang Xiaoxiao's mouth.

Huang Zixuan didn't speak, chewing vigorously on the steak that was too old to speak. Zhang Xiaoxiao wanted to persuade him not to eat if he didn't want to eat, but after thinking about it, it was estimated that his mind was not eating at all, and he had been sad in his heart. However, did he cry just now? Now his mood is stable and his state is much better. She looked at his face, and suddenly wanted to touch the cheeks that were full of tears just now, and then, she was amused by her own obscene thoughts, and actually laughed softly. Huang Zixuan rolled his eyes at her.

"I don't want you to go, in fact, you're very happy in your heart, right?" Huang Zixuan hit the nail on the head.

"You underestimate the sense of responsibility of your employees, I especially want to do something for you, really, Mr. Huang, if it weren't for Mr. Lei to accompany you, I would like to accompany you. ”

"yes, then give you this chance"

"No problem, I'm afraid that Mr. Lei will be unhappy when he finds out. Of course, Zhang Xiaoxiao knew that it was too late to book a plane ticket now, and he also knew that Huang Zixuan just wanted to scare him, so he was relieved to accept it boldly.

Huang Zixuan carefully chewed the last piece of beef, gently put down the knife and fork, and wiped his mouth. Then he looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao intently. Zhang Xiaoxiao's heart was empty, and she wanted to slip away when she picked up the plate. Huang Zixuan motioned for her to sit down with his hand.

"Do you think there's something between me and Thunderstorm?" he began to interrogate.

Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't answer, and had already asked ten thousand questions in her heart: Is there nothing wrong?

"And when you talk to others, especially in private, can you not use the word you. It sounds very harsh to me. He continued to interrogate.

I often use the word you in the original unit learned, the previous unit was a state-owned enterprise, her leaders pay more attention to these, but in Huaiqing dialect, there is no N sound, so you are not needed when speaking, but every time she sends a message to the leader, she must use the word you to show respect. Now after arriving at this Xinjing Group, she usually communicates with her colleagues in Mandarin, so she also began to use the word "you" when speaking to the leader.

"Isn't it, shouldn't a gentleman like you pay more attention to this?" Zhang Xiaoxiao was a little incredulous.

Huang Zixuan got up and left, leaving a sentence: "You probably have watched too many harem dramas." ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao took a taxi online for Huang Zixuan, and the car arrived quickly, and Huang Zixuan, who walked outside the door, turned around and went back to the house, put the key to the house on the table, and left it for Zhang Xiaoxiao. Zhang Xiaoxiao took the key and returned it to him. He hesitated to put the key in his pocket, turned his face sideways, and said, "Thank you today, you go and rest for a while, wait for the child to wake up before leaving, don't make any more noise about the child sleeping." ”

On the fast-moving taxi, Huang Zixuan's mobile phone rang. Huang Zixuan squinted and was unmoved. After a long time, I picked up my mobile phone and looked at it, and the text message was sent by Zhang Xiaoxiao: I sent a video in your mailbox, watch it when you have time.

Huang Zixuan opened the mailbox and clicked on the video. The video is the video of Zhang Xiaoxiao and her mother's WeChat connection that day.

At a glance, the mother in the video is much older, with no makeup on her face and only lipstick. He was wrapped in a turban, and there were no irregular bulges under the thin turban, as if he had lost his hair after chemotherapy.

"Auntie, let me tell you one thing, in fact, Mr. Huang didn't have a meeting today, but because he didn't dare to see you, he added a meeting temporarily, you say, is he a coward? He is not ready to meet you, do you know why? He does not want to see you, on the contrary, he ...... You mean so much to him. He has always regretted the angry words he said to you the last time he saw you when he was a child, and he is also sad that you have not been able to see him, Auntie, is your son very innocent and cute?"

After listening to Zhang Xiaoxiao's words, Huang Zixuan's mother couldn't control her sobbing for a while, and under the comfort of the people around her, her emotions gradually settled down, and she said word by word: "In my life, I am too strong, I regret it very much now, if it didn't matter whether his father loved me or not, it would be good for Zixuan to stay and be by his side." After leaving him, I was a walking corpse every day, but I always refused to look back, and I was angry with a child, and you said I was confused. ”

"That's all in the past, Auntie, you will be happily reunited in the future. ”

"You help me tell Zixuan, I especially regret leaving him, you tell him that my mother loves him, and he is my only favorite in this world. It's me who is wrong, there is nothing wrong with him, and if there is an afterlife, I must love him well. I'm waiting for him in England and I really miss him. As she spoke, Huang Zixuan's mother became excited again, and the man next to her said goodbye to Zhang Xiaoxiao apologetically, suggesting that they talk again next time, and hung up the phone.

Huang Zixuan closed his eyes and bit his lip to prevent himself from crying.
