XXVII. Confession
"Mr. Huang, what is your biggest trouble? ”
Huang Zixuan was stunned and didn't know how to answer. Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing: What troubles can he have? Everything is at his fingertips, if there are really troubles, it must be too much, too little needed, so there are too many burdens.
Huang Zixuan asked rhetorically: "What is your biggest trouble?"
"I have a lot of troubles, and it's a bunch of them when you think about it. ”
"And what about the biggest annoyance?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and asked Huang Zixuan: "What do you think my biggest trouble should be?"
"No money, you love money!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head.
"Relationship problems?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao still shook her head.
"Kid?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao laughed, with a hint of sadness.
Actually, my biggest worry is panic, and I am surrounded by a kind of panic all day long, and I can't live in fear. ”
"Fear, fear, what?"
"Over 30 years old, nothing has been accomplished, love is frustrated, family affection is weak, friendship is drifting apart, face is aging, everything seems to be irretrievably going downhill, and these things are like dominoes, as long as one day, one thing is hit hard, I will quickly associate with other aspects, and then the confidence that other aspects have been built up will collapse together. ”
Huang Zixuan was silent when he heard this, these contents need to be digested well, and he has not had time to find a suitable language to comfort him, or any language is too weak. The carriage quieted down, and after Zhang Xiaoxiao said these words, her heart relaxed, hugged Wenwen, who had already fallen asleep, and closed her eyes to rest.
woke up again and saw that the car had stopped in the service area, Zhang Xiaoxiao gently put down Wenwen, got out of the car and moved his muscles, Huang Zixuan came back from the bathroom, he couldn't see his expression clearly from a distance, but his steps were tired.
"You're awake, I'm feeling a little sleepy, go wash your face. ”
"Then I'll have a meeting!"
Huang Zixuan smiled, shook his head, slowly approached, hugged him gently, and then, sighed heavily, and said softly: "Let me hug it, I feel sorry for you, but I don't know what to say." ”
Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't know why, but she didn't have time to ask, and as soon as she came back to her senses, she subconsciously broke free from her embrace.
"I, I'm going to the toilet too. Zhang Xiaoxiao stumbled and finished speaking, and ran to the bathroom as if she were running away. After passing the sink, she subconsciously looked in the mirror, and her face in the mirror was crimson, so red that she couldn't see her facial features clearly.
Back in the car.
"Talk to me, aren't you afraid that I will fall asleep?" Huang Zixuan said to Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was pretending to be asleep.
"Oh, I'm still a little sleepy, or you say, I'll listen!"
"Why don't I tell you something that keeps you awake?"
"Hmm. Zhang Xiaoxiao had a hunch that he would say something funny, but she still tried to suppress her laughter.
"Shall we try to date!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao felt that her face that had finally cooled down instantly turned red and hot, and she knew that Huang Zixuan must be observing her expression in the rearview mirror, so she gently leaned her face inside.
"You said that we are both lonely, two people together, we can always warm each other, there is someone to talk to, don't you notice, we can talk to each other?"
The reasons are quite clumsy!
"It's me who is lonely, it's me who is miserable and pitiful, even if we are together, it's me holding you as a big tree, don't talk so ...... about sympathizing with me"
"If you have to say that, it's all the same, and the result is the same anyway. ”
Zhang Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
Huang Zixuan looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao from the rearview mirror and asked tentatively, "So, do you agree?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, sat up straight, and straightened his thoughts slightly.
"Mr. Huang, do you know who is the eldest of us?"
"It's the same size!"
"No, I'm a few months older than you!"
"Is this the problem?"
"It's not a problem! The problem is that although I'm only a few months older than you, I'm about ten years older than you in terms of stage of life and mental age. I don't have one condition to surpass you and make up for the gap. If I were with you now, what would others say, they would say, I don't know what means I used to catch you, and they would even say that I abandoned my family. ”
"Why do you always care what other people think?"
"We are in the same circle, can we be separated from the eyes of others?"
"Then what are you going to do?" Huang Zixuan asked rhetorically.
"That's it, it's good!"
"I mean our relationship, what are you going to do?"
"That's it...... Superior-subordinate relationship, or friends if you need it...... Ordinary friends. ”
Huang Zixuan didn't respond, Zhang Xiaoxiao looked in the rearview mirror, his face was extremely ugly. On the dark road outside, the lights of the road signs flickered sporadically, and the occasional car coming from the opposite lane would be very dazzling. Zhang Xiaoxiao was a little worried about Huang Zixuan's emotions and couldn't drive well.
"Mr. Huang, don't think about this matter for the time being, can you drive well?"
"That's enough, if you insist on such an idea from the beginning, why do you want to send me home? Why do you want to give me a hug? Do you talk about other leaders like this? Let me tell you, not everyone can hug me, let alone colleagues, friends, and good friends! Finally, let me tell you again, don't call me Mr. Huang in private, I don't like it very much when you talk to me, the left one is you, and the other is you!"
It's been a long time since I've seen Huang Zixuan get angry with her, and it's the first time I've been angry in private. Zhang Xiaoxiao bit her lip, tears fell, she hugged Wenwen and moved directly behind Huang Zixuan, not wanting him to see her tears. After all, her tears were not because of his anger, but because of pie falling from the sky, but because of her own ability, the feeling of powerlessness that she couldn't catch.
"This is on the highway, you can't let me wipe your tears here, right?" Huang Zixuan's tone softened a lot.
"I'm sorry!" she didn't know what to say other than those three words.
"I'm the one who says I'm sorry. Originally, I took you out today to make you happy, but I actually got angry with you, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. ”
"It's me who is bad, it's me who doesn't have the courage to ......"
Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't go on, she couldn't say that she was too inferior and injured because she was hurt, so she didn't dare to accept a new relationship bravely.
"Otherwise, let's get along privately first, if I really don't meet your standards, then let's act as if nothing happened, okay?" Huang Zixuan asked tentatively.
How can it be that nothing happened, once you are really in love, she can only be hurt in the end, can she do nothing and still be an assistant by his side? But his proposal is also more reasonable, at least in this way, you can not take into account the eyes of others.
"It's okay, you don't have to rush to answer me, you can reply to me by Monday morning!"
"I'll sleep first, you drive carefully!"
Huang Zixuan smiled slightly when he heard Zhang Xiaoxiao's answer, after all, there was no strong opposition, and it could be regarded as a concession.
When the car got off the highway from Huaiqing, the sky was already slightly bright. In the suburbs near the expressway, there is a famous restaurant street in Huaiqing, and many people in the urban area will stop by for breakfast. Although it was still early, the breakfast shop was already bustling. Huang Zixuan slowly stopped the car and looked back at Zhang Xiaoxiao. After running all night, Zhang Xiaoxiao was already hungry, but it was always uneasy to put the child in the car and eat by herself.
Huang Zixuan pulled over and looked back at Zhang Xiaoxiao for advice. Thinking that he hadn't slept all night, Zhang Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Huang, hurry up and take a bite, it's been a hard night, I'll go back and eat with Wenwen later." ”
"What do you call me?" Huang Zixuan stared at her, his eyes blazing.
Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled wryly, Huang Zixuan's expression softened a little, and he turned around and got out of the car. After a while, I came back with my packed things.
After arriving home, Huang Zixuan asked Zhang Xiaoxiao to take breakfast, holding Wenwen in one hand and Wenwen's backpack in the other, and strode in front. The child was actually awake, but he was still lazily lying on Huang Zixuan's body. Zhang Xiaoxiao walked behind, her heart was warm, it seemed that this was like a family of three.
In the past, their family of three had also been like this, but in recent years, Feng Sen has gradually been absent, and Wenwen is already almost fifty pounds, Zhang Xiaoxiao has a hard time holding him, and he can't walk a few steps at all. Every time a child falls asleep in the car, he must first shake the child awake, and then carry a large bag and a small bag to lead the sleepy-eyed child upstairs together.
After Zhang Xiaoxiao took the child to wash his hands, Huang Zixuan had already set the breakfast. Looking at the soup and water on the table, Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't know how to start.
"This bowl without coriander is yours, this one without chili is Wenwen's, and there is porridge here, he can eat whatever he wants. This steamed bun is yours. Huang Zixuan skillfully divided the meal while muttering in his mouth.
Zhang Xiaoxiao ate thoughtfully, glancing at Huang Zixuan from time to time.
"What's wrong, it's not appetizing!" asked Huang Zixuan without raising his head.
It turned out that everything was in his hands.
"I was thinking, when did I tell you I didn't eat coriander?"
"You didn't tell me, but I think I did. What's the matter, don't think about it, I just have a good memory. ”
Zhang Xiaoxiao put down her chopsticks, felt heavy, and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that everything has a fixed number!"
"What do you mean? You mean me?"
"It's not. I've been married for six or seven years, and I've told my in-laws about not eating coriander, and I think I've said it many times. Until finally I compromised myself. They don't eat spicy food, so I never cook spicy food. He didn't know what I liked to eat, he didn't know what songs I liked to listen to, there were many things I wanted to share with him the most, and as a result, until the divorce, I didn't know why I didn't find a chance to share it with him. Zhang Xiaoxiao's tone was flat, but she was very angry in her heart.
"It's all in the past. Let's not talk about the past. ”
Zhang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and asked hesitantly: "Am I like a resentful woman?"
"No, you still think about the past, my heart is just a little sour!"
When Zhang Xiaoxiao heard this, she couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoxiao was in a good mood, Huang Zixuan's brows also relaxed.
"You are so happy to hear that I am jealous, are you sure you don't care about me?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao was embarrassed, but she couldn't stop smiling. I was secretly anxious, obviously not happy, and wanted to deny it, but I couldn't stop laughing.
"Mr. Huang, can you speak seriously, just like the first time I saw you, I ignore it, so I'm more used to it. You make me think it's funny. ”
"Did you get picked up?"
"The child is here, don't talk nonsense!"
When Wenwen heard him, he raised his head and smiled, so the two adults also laughed.
