Chapter 80: I Thought You Knew

Feng Jianxiong hung up the phone with Tian Haimo, and in a blink of an eye, he sent another text message to his sister Feng Yiji: inform her not to do his share for dinner, and not to go home for dinner tonight.

Feng Jianxiong also put down other things, drove to buy some small gifts to comfort his sister, and then found her residence early according to the address Tian Haimo left for him.

Although he knew the address, Feng Jianxiong came to the door for the first time.

After all, this is just a single apartment for girls, and it is small, and it is not very convenient to visit, so I always feel a little embarrassed.

In order to get closer to work, Tian Haimo rented a house in the west of the city, not far from Ahri Baba Company. It is a single apartment of only about 20 square meters, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom.

The "hall", which combines a living room and a dining room, is so small that it can only fit a narrow dining table and a refrigerator, and it is more like an elongated version of the entrance.

When Feng Jianxiong arrived, it was about 6 o'clock in the evening. On the day of April, it was not yet completely dark.

When Tian Haimo came to open the door, he could see that his expression was slightly embarrassed and haggard, but his demeanor was still very decent and kind, and he smiled at Feng Jianxiong shyly and apologetically. It makes people have the illusion that they can't understand who owes whom in this layer of misunderstanding and human affection.

Feng Jianxiong is not very good at buying gifts for girls, and he is not very good at comforting people.

He bought a bouquet of flowers, only knowing that he could not buy roses, so he was fooled by the florist owner into matching a bouquet of lilies and tulips.

In addition to flowers, he also brought some delicate trinkets, the material is not necessarily vulgar and expensive, but the sense of design must reflect ingenuity.

Tian Haimo was wearing a home dress, but she seemed to be cooking just now, so she put on a maid apron with a little Japanese style outside, like the style of the Gothro maid COS in Japanese comics. She took the gift and let Feng Jianxiong inside.

There are only four refreshing dishes on the table, shredded eel, cherry meat, mushroom choy sum, cress lily, and a soup of whitebait tofu, which has not yet been served in the pot.

Although it is simple, at least it looks like she made it herself, and there is no takeaway.

The garbage in the kitchen had not been emptied yet, and although the garbage bags were tightly tied, the room was so small that the smell of the eel's internal organs could still be smelled three or four paces away in the dining room—it seemed that she had killed two eels herself and made the ringing eel silk.

Feng Jianxiong originally thought about some other topics first, but after looking at the delicacies on the table, he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that your cooking skills are also good, it looks better than Nicole's, and you usually make it yourself?"

Tian Haimo brought the soup to the table, took off the Japanese apron, and said freely: "I guess there is something better than Nicole, and I am not humble with you." But I don't usually cook much, annoying. Eating alone, who is patient to cook, the company will save trouble when you come back after eating. ”

"Then how did you practice your craft?" Feng Jianxiong was a little curious, so he crooked the building.

"Didn't my family open a homestay inn in Zhouzhuang, and my mother originally asked a cook to specialize in Supai specialties. When I was in middle school, I was idle, and I watched and learned. ”

Tian Haimo explained while serving rice, "Sometimes during the winter vacation before the year, the cook takes leave to go home for the New Year. It's just in time for the tourist season, and there are many guests, so I'll go up and help with the cooking - let's eat first, and then talk after eating. ”

Feng Jianxiong took the bowl with a smile, picked up the chopsticks and tasted the yellow eel, his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously praised: "Well, the cooking skills are very good, who will ...... in the future"

He originally wanted to say, "If anyone marries you in the future, it will be his fate", but he immediately realized that it was a little too abrupt, and quickly held back the second half of the sentence.

A complicated look flashed in Tian Haimo's eyes, and she pretended not to hear.

Both of them well abided by the ancient precept of eating and not sleeping, and looked very personable, and Feng Jianxiong basically didn't say anything other than politely praising each dish for good cooking.

After chewing and eating slowly for 20 minutes, Tian Haimo made a pot of oolong tea that was clear and delicious, and wanted Feng Jianxiong to go to the room to drink tea and sit for a while.

Feng Jianxiong took advantage of Tian Haimo's tea making time to put on gloves and wash the dishes first.

In fact, he doesn't wash dishes at home, his sister used to wash it, but now that he has a maid, his sister and brother don't have to wash it. However, it is better to be a guest in someone else's home.

"What are you doing, put it down. I'll wash it when you're gone at night. Tian Haimo put down the tea and persuaded without being humble or arrogant.

Although this sentence is only a few words, it is a lot of information, which shows her maturity in dealing with people: first, she does not let the guests work, and second, it implies that the other party must not be ambiguous, because he will be driven away at night, don't think crookedly.

"There were only three or four bowls in total, and they were almost finished. I have something important to tell you, so let's get down to business as soon as possible. Feng Jianxiong didn't listen to the young lady, and washed the last two dishes with a few brushes.

The yellow eel and cherry meat were not finished, so the dishes to be washed were not too greasy. Tian Haimo sighed, took out plastic wrap from the cupboard, covered the leftover meat vegetables, put them in the refrigerator, and prepared to cook noodles for herself with eel silk tomorrow morning.

……

There is only one table in the hall, and there is the smell of food, which is really inconvenient to chat.

Tian Haimo could only lead Feng Jianxiong to the bedroom - after she finished making tea just now, she put it directly on the desk.

There is only one bed, a bedside table, plus a wardrobe and a desk and chair in the bedroom. A single apartment of more than 20 square meters can only be like this.

Tian Haimo gave up the chair in front of the desk to Feng Jianxiong, and he could only sit on the bed.

"Sister Momo, what kind of friendship we have, I don't want to say more, you have always been very helpful to me. On the phone just now, I also understand your concern. No matter how right and wrong celebrities are, it is normal to be broken behind people's backs.

However, I don't want to let this worry affect our friendship or not dare to say anything. What else is there to hide from each other? If you tell me the truth, I am measured, and I will not spread it out. ”

Feng Jianxiong took a sip of tea and considered the entry point of the topic, starting from the perspective from which both parties had the most common feelings.

In fact, before he intersected with Feng Jianxiong, Tian Haimo himself was already a person who paid great attention to his personal public image and gossip.

After all, she was already a member of the school debate team at that time, the vice president of the school's student union, and the number one beauty among the small group of girls in the school's student union. If you don't pay attention to being gossiped behind your back, it's just commonplace.

And Tian Haimo's most nostalgic thing in the past few years is that she is obviously very hard-working, very capable, and has achieved so many achievements, but there must be people behind her who are jealous of her, and legend has it that she needs to sell her hue to get opportunities.

How depressing is this pressure?

Imagine a comparison:

For example, Wang Xcong may not be as good at reading as a true scholar, but in his heart, looking at his resume, even if the BUFF bonus of elite education is removed, this person still has the ability to learn in the middle.

However, just because he later became a topic of conversation, and others speculated that "even if this kind of person is bad at studying, his father can buy him a prestigious school", this has become the most irritated point in Wang Xcong's life: Ya Laozi is obviously "richer than you and work harder than you at the same time", why is there only "richer than you, and everything else is bought by money"?

The situation faced by Tian Haimo is the same.

She is the kind of person who is very involved in the world and wants to prove herself, but public opinion always overestimates the role of her beauty in the process of success.

And the key to Feng Jianxiong's communication with her is to eliminate a concern: that is, Feng Jianxiong knows that she is not the kind of person who sells favors. Tian Haimo could be afraid that outsiders would misunderstand, so he didn't dare to say it to the outside world, but he shouldn't hide it from him Feng Jianxiong.

There are not many words between the two, but because they are too smart and mature in dealing with each other, a few words are very informative.

However, these words made a trace of confusion flash in Tian Haimo's eyes.

She knew that Feng Jianxiong's insight was amazing, but as far as she knew, the original Feng Jianxiong didn't put much thought into taking care of the girl's feelings.

This could not help but surprise her:

"When did Xiaoxiong suddenly become so aware of girls' concerns? He used to be so bold in his work. There are so many jealous girls in the school who are jealous of Nicole and say bad things about Nicole behind their backs, saying that Nicole's methods of seducing Xiaoxiong are too bitch and shameless, and I haven't seen Xiaoxiong solve the siege for Nicole. If he had such a delicate observation of girls' emotions, how could I not dare to tell him?"

Tian Haimo pondered the words and said this question euphemistically.

Feng Jianxiong was stunned: "You...... Have you already seen that I didn't care much about girls' feelings?"

Tian Haimo admitted with a wry smile: "Yes, in my eyes, you are very loyal to Nicole and very responsible for your feelings.

However, you are only responsible, and you don't bother to speculate about Nicole's feelings. You give her money to spend, give her family a good material condition, spend time with her, and be faithful to your sexual partners - but you don't have the heart to speculate on the girl's heart.

So, I can't understand how you're suddenly so delicate now. I have to admit that if I had known that you were such a delicate person, I wouldn't have hidden it from you, at most I would have told you the truth and then asked you to stop spreading it to the outside world. ”

"It turns out that in your eyes, I didn't care enough about Nicole at the beginning, and I thought that only Nicole herself felt this way...... Frailty, thy-name-is-oman!" Feng Jianxiong suddenly felt a little frustrated, and couldn't help but say a famous quote from Shakespeare.

Vulnerable, your name is a woman. Hamlet's even your old English thy. (You corresponds to thee, and your corresponds to thy)

Why are the girls he meets so sensitive and vulnerable, even if he works hard to earn money to support his family, spend time with him, and be loyal to his sexual partners, they are still not enough?

As a straight man, Feng Jianxiong himself can't guess the difference between being distracted and not being distracted.

Especially as a cold law student straight man, Feng Jianxiong's dictionary only has "subjective and objective unity", objective behaviors are loyal, can there be disloyalty in subjective motives?

Tian Haimo didn't know why Feng Jianxiong suddenly felt gaffe and frustration. She subconsciously retreated a few inches from the bed and comforted, "Did I say something that shouldn't have been said? Why did you suddenly feel so emotional?"

Feng Jianxiong took a sip of bitter tea and sighed, "Don't you want to know why I suddenly became able to figure out the worries of the girls around me? Because, because I didn't care about Nicole's face and inner pressure, she broke up with me—oh, by the way, do you know that I broke up with Nicole? I discussed it with her, and finally on the small station broadcast, Todin Lihui played a double reed. You shouldn't have heard it, but Sister Xiaonan should have talked to you, right?"

"What? You broke up with Nicole?"
