"Okay, old man, how long have you been crying?"

Ai Xin took a sip of wine boringly, feeling that it was not enough to be happy, so he picked up the bottle and dried half of the bottle in one go, before he looked at Tao Li helplessly and sighed.

"You know!"

Tao Li was still sobbing, scolding Ai Xin with a choked voice, her heartless appearance always made him angry.

"Yes, yes, I don't understand. ”

Ai Xin nodded, adjusted a comfortable position on the sofa, grabbed the cushion and put it on the back of her waist and half lay down.

"You say...... What the hell did my dad think, I can understand that he doesn't want me to do anything with him, he can say that I scold me, and even cut off my financial resources, but he goes to such great lengths to bring me down...... I really don't understand, what good is it for him to become a laughing stock in the eyes of others, to become a waste......"

"No good, so ...... Drink bars. ”

Ai Xin handed the wine bottle to Tao Li, and he quickly caught it, but the hand holding the wine bottle hung in the air, and he didn't drink, and continued to talk.

"Yes, you said it was no good, my dad couldn't have understood...... You say, why, why did he have to do it......"

“......”

Ai Xin realized that Tao Li at this time couldn't listen to any comfort and dissuasion at all, and was completely immersed in his own entanglement, so he had to hold the wine bottle and lean aside, quietly waiting for Tao Li to finish complaining, calm down, and then slowly sort out his thoughts.

"You know what?"

Tao Li suddenly raised his head to look at her, and his tone calmed down a little, which made Ai Xin can't help but look at him intently, waiting for what he was going to say next.

"When I was a kid...... I remember when I was about 12 years old, I graduated from elementary school, and I did well in the exam at that time, after all, everyone in elementary school got a perfect score. Then I wanted to surprise my dad, and asked the driver to take me to the company after school, and they all knew me anyway, and no one stopped me, so I secretly took the elevator upstairs by myself. ”

"Hmm. ”

Ai Xin responded, encouraging him to continue.

"After I went up, I went to my dad's office, and before I went in, the door was open and cracked, and I wanted to see what my dad was doing, so as not to suddenly go in and affect his work. ”

Ai Xin nodded, but he didn't expect Tao Li to be so discerning when he was a child, it seems that there was a problem with the follow-up education, and he cultivated such a wonderful flower of the motherland.

Then I saw my dad standing at his desk, and there was a woman standing next to him, and my dad's hand was on the woman's thigh...... Touching back and forth, and then the woman smiled and patted my dad on the chest......"

The story turned too quickly, and Ai Xin couldn't control her expression for a while, but quickly regained her composure. This kind of thing...... Even if Tao Li doesn't need to say it, Ai Xin can completely understand.

"Something else...... I don't care, I really don't care, I always think that even if my parents are acting for me, it doesn't matter, as long as they're together, I don't care. But...... The woman turned around and tried to close the door, and I saw that it was my dad's secretary...... I really felt terrible at that moment, that woman would happily give me snacks every time she saw me, touch my face and call my name, and often came to the house to deliver things to my mother, and was very affectionate with my mother, but now she is in a room with my father...... You know, I was really scared, I thought women were terrible......"

"Huh?"

Ai Xin listened carefully until Tao Li finished the last sentence, and was suddenly stunned for a moment, looking at Tao Li hesitantly, his lips moved up and down, and he still held back the sentence he wanted to ask.

"The most terrifying thing is not this...... It's that I'm so afraid of that woman, I think all women are terrible, and I think my dad is terrible...... But when I grew up, I felt that these things seemed to be normal......"

Tao Li seemed to be a little suspicious of his thoughts, his eyes fell on Ai Xin's face, seeking her approval: "Don't you think it's scary? When I grew up, I actually became the kind of person I was most afraid of......

"It's okay. ”

Ai Xin drank all the wine in the bottle, put the empty wine bottle back on the table, and took a new bottle, the wine on the table was already more than half drunk, and under the light of the light, it emitted the brilliance of showing off its might.

"You, as long as you have a little sympathy for others, you can be considered a normal person. ”

Tao Li looked at her still indifferent expression, and couldn't help but sigh: "Others don't know you, don't I know yet?" They all say that you are gentle and kind, and you can consider others at any time, even if it is an insignificant person's emotions, you can also take into account, but in fact, it is not at all. Because you don't have any sympathy at all, there is no such thing as empathy, everything is considered objectively, and you will treat everyone equally. You don't have people you hate, which means you don't have people you really like. ”

"Yo. Ai Xin laughed, glanced at the wine bottle in his hand, and then looked at the wine bottle in Tao Li's hand, and couldn't help but ask him, "Is what you drink the same wine as me? Why did you become so smart after drinking?"

"Hush. Tao Li snorted coldly, although Ai Xin's praise was mean, he was very useful, "I used to think that you had a cold personality, but later I found out that when you were also enthusiastic, you would also joke, you just treat everyone as outsiders, no one can get close to you, your friendliness is a sense of distance." Don't look at how close we seem to be now, if there is something really big in the future, you may be the first to run. ”

"Is there one?" Ai Xin smiled helplessly, "This time the company has an accident, didn't I rush back as soon as possible and solve it for you without sleep?"

"Are you doing it for me? It's not because you have a part in the company. If you don't invest a penny, you can't tell if you won't get it back. ”

"I can't say that, the last time you got into a fight with someone in a bar, I just got home, didn't I turn around and come back directly to help you testify?"

"That's not counted, after all, it's because you fought, if you don't testify, won't I be able to get out?"

"Then you are underestimating Lawyer Xie. ”

"In short, even if you don't compare with Tong Yu or anything, even if you compare it with money, you should think that money is more important than me. ”

"Of course money matters. Ai replied as he should, paused, and then looked at Tao Li and responded seriously: "To be honest, I'm not particularly good to you, but it's ...... It's special. I am always grateful to you for your efforts to make your family accept me and make me feel the warmth of my family. ”

Listening to Ai Xin's words, Tao Li couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces of his school days, to say that Ai Xin was not good to herself, it was actually very good, at least it was not easy for a person like her to maintain close contact with herself for many years.

"But I don't need you to be grateful to me......"

Tao Li lowered his head and muttered in a low voice.

Looking at him like this, Ai Xin could probably guess what he was talking about, and quickly changed the topic.

"By the way, I remember when you were in college, did you secretly investigate my parents' situation?"

"Well, what's wrong?!"

Seeing that Ai Xin diverted the topic and wanted to count herself, Tao Li couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and looked at her a little unhappily.

"It's nothing, I just remember, I told you about my mom before, did I tell you how my dad died?"

"Wasn't it a car accident?"

Tao Li thought for a moment, and quickly answered.

"Well, it was a car accident. Ai Xin nodded, "But ...... It was also one of the few car accidents that made the news at the time. ”

"Oh, your dad is still a celebrity? or is it ...... The car accident is serious, and if someone dies, it must be a big car accident, right?"

"Celebrities aren't counted. ”

Ai Xin lowered her head, smiled as if self-deprecating, filled the empty cup with wine, and held it up with a slight trembling.

"It's just that car accident that killed two people at once, my dad...... and another woman. ”

Tao Li's whole body shook suddenly, and he reacted immediately...... Ai Xin's father did the same thing as his own father, but he was discovered in a more tragic way.

"Specifically, I also slowly figured it out later. My dad is a small official in the local area, and my mom probably found out for a while and didn't want to affect me, probably because she still had the luck that my dad would change his mind, so she kept secretly observing. Later, when he got angry, he threatened my dad that if he had any more dealings with that woman, he would report my dad to the local government, and he was going to make up a little bit of a story about my dad's corruption and bribery to pull my dad down. ”

"That auntie is quite ruthless. ”

Tao Li smiled bitterly, took a sip of wine, and quietly waited for Ai Xin to continue speaking.

"Ruthless? I don't think so. Ai Xin shook her head and sighed, "Women are emotional animals, she didn't really plan to do this, she just wanted to use this kind of words to pull my dad back to the family and get back what little sanity my dad had left." Unexpectedly, my dad thought that my mom was really angry, he was also a person who couldn't take responsibility very much, and when he was scared, he thought about going away and flying high, and going directly away from me and my mom to a place where no one knew him was the most effective solution. ”

"But...... He's gone, but he's still taking the woman with him?"

"Hmm. ”

Ai Xin shrugged her shoulders, no expression on her face, as if she was just recounting a piece of news she had heard from someone else's mouth.

"I don't blame him, at that time, the house was like a mental hospital, none of us were emotionally normal, and there was definitely pressure. I just didn't expect him to take me with him without thinking about it at all...... Even if I didn't have a grudge for my mother, I was his only child, and he would rather run away with that woman than take me with him......"

Ai Xin's tone remained calm, and he couldn't hear a trace of ups and downs, even if he was complaining and aggrieved, he said it as if he was just talking about what he had for dinner.

Tao Li has looked at this expression for many years, and he already knows that the turbulent waves are suppressed under the calm sea, so he moved his body and sat down next to Ai Xin a little, ready to control Ai Xin as soon as possible when her emotions were out of control.

"I sometimes think it's really funny, the two adults in this family are like children, one only thinks about running when something happens, and only knows how to do what makes him happy according to his own heart, without thinking about the sense of responsibility and the responsibility of family. The other one, it's like being in love all his life, the man is dead or alive if he is gone, I don't know how long it has been premeditated, the child has just become an adult, and he will immediately leave it and run to the meeting...... Didn't the two of them think about themselves at all...... Didn't you think you had another child......

Ai Xin sighed, she has been close to numbness over the years, but every time she thinks about it, she still feels incredible, this emotion has even surpassed grief, and has become a mystery that she will never be able to solve over the years and in the future.

"You say blame, but in fact, I don't blame them at all these years...... I just feel sorry, really, my mom is really in a hurry, I've just turned eighteen and three days old...... I really, really just want her to wait a few more days, a little more than a month...... She didn't even see my acceptance letter at my university...... How anxious is she? What's wrong with me...... She was also conceived and born in October, breaking bones and tendons, how can there be no nostalgia at all......"

"Then you were ...... When I was in college, didn't I have any nostalgia for the world?"

Tao Li remembered the tragic situation at that time, and his panic when he saw Ai Xin commit suicide, and couldn't help but shake his head, trying to move those images out of his mind.

"Well, don't say it, at that time I felt that I could understand my mother a little bit, that is, I had no feelings for the world and no nostalgia for anyone, and I didn't even have a little bit of reluctance to support my own life. Really, I can't think of anything but death, my biggest dream is to die suddenly in my sleep, do you know how disappointed and painful it is to wake up every morning and find that I am still alive......"

There is no one left around you, but when your mother leaves, you are still with you...... Tao Li held back what he wanted to say, he knew such an obvious truth, Ai Xin understood more than her. But since she didn't say it, there was no need for me to say it to poke her sore spots.

"Look at me, how good it is to know me, not only to save you back, but also to make you so nostalgic for this world. If I hadn't carried you to the hospital back then, would you have a chance to fall in love with Tong Yu now!"

Tao Li pretended to be angry, touched Ai Xin's cup with his cup, and drank all the wine in the cup with a tilt of his neck.

"Well, so I'm very grateful to you. Ai Xin smiled, drank the wine, and looked at him again, "By the way, as soon as you say Tong Yu......"

"If you have something to say, say it!"

Tao Li didn't like her squirming and pinching, especially when the two of them had just finished a heart-to-heart conversation, and the mention of Tong Yu starting to babble again still made him jealous.

"When I saw him today...... Told me about my dad's death. ”

Ai Xin seemed to be a little weak-hearted, and after speaking, he quickly lowered his head to avoid eye contact with Tao Li.

But Tao Li didn't have the heart to look at her at all, and his mind had already become a pot of porridge. I have been friends with Ai Xin for seven or eight years, and I have to be lucky enough to hear her tell her story in today's heart-wrenching scene, but Tong Yu has only known her for less than half a year...... Has she opened her heart like this......
