16. Night Road (5)
Zhuang Wanhua looked at Xia Shibang's calm face, and suddenly felt that it was right to file for divorce, and this marriage was meaningless if it persisted.
Xia Linchen didn't expect Zhuang Wanhua to say such a sentence, and the whole person was stunned.
"Mom......" he called, his voice bitter. In the past, he didn't persuade him, but Zhuang Wanhua insisted on refusing to divorce, but now he doesn't know why he figured it out.
"Shibang, go back." Zhuang Wanhua said flatly, "Next time you come, find a lawyer, bring the agreement, and we will sign it." β
Xia Shibang didn't agree immediately, but asked, "Why?" β
"Why, you ask?" Zhuang Wanhua was also aroused, she pointed at Xia Shibang and laughed self-deprecatingly, "I heard about you wanting to marry Linchen, it's not enough for you to embarrass me alone, and now you have to drag my son into the water." β
Xia Shibang denied, "I didn't. β
"No?" Zhuang Wanhua laughed angrily, "You dare to say that you pushed a girl he didn't recognize to him for his own good?" Linchen is my son, not your business bargaining chips, you can use it however you say. β
"Wanhua, calm down, we'll discuss the details of the divorce next time." Xia Shibang turned his back on his hand, as if he had been poked in the sore spot, and his face was ugly. β
Zhuang Wanhua stood up on the edge of the bed, so that she didn't need to look up at him, "No need, there's nothing to discuss." Our mother and son don't want anything, you can leave the money to whoever you want, I just ask you not to dictate my son's life. β
Xia Shibang was shocked, "He is also my son." β
"No," Xia Linchen walked over, asked Zhuang Wanhua to grab his hand, and then helped her sit down on the bed, "A person who has not given me and my mother basic care, and who is always absent in my life, is not qualified to be my father." β

For several days, He Chuchen took leave and did not come to class, and he liked to hear Cai Xiaotan say that she was confined by her family.
She leaned her face to the side and looked out the window, thinking about Xia Linchen in her heart, not knowing how he was doing now, whether he was scolded or not. But before clarifying his thoughts, he was afraid of seeing him and disturbing his mood.
She felt a mess in her mind, and she wanted to cut them off and see what was hidden underneath.
Two days ago, when Sister Bao shouted that she was going to the flower shop, she didn't agree, ignored Cai Xiaotan's meaningful eyes, and found an excuse to go to the library to read books.
On the third day, she couldn't resist Sister Bao's stubborn fighting, so she had to hide behind Cai Xiaotan and not let them call her name.
On the fourth day, Xia Linchen intentionally or unintentionally walked a few steps to their table, and was scratched twice by the orange peel, so he went back to play with his flowers, and did not come to say hello.
Zhong Yi always felt that he frowned at this side, and a burst of irritability surged in his heart, and he even put down the milk tea he had always loved.
On the fifth day, Zhong saw Xia Linchen and hid, but Cai Xiaotan knew it, and even Duan Xiaolu saw the clues, only Sister Bao didn't understand, and laughed stupidly.
was swept around by Duan Xiaolu's shrewd gaze a few times, Zhong Yi was a little unbearable, and handed Cai Xiaotan his gaze for help, and was thrown back by the other party's "fawn-style" pouting shrug.
No matter how big Sister Bao was, she also noticed that something was wrong, and asked bluntly, "What's wrong with you two?" Sister Fox, you owe the fawn money and haven't you paid it back? β
"Poof-" Cai Xiaotan leaned on the back of the chair and laughed, "Sister Bao, your brain circuit is really ...... Unique. β
"Because the fawn has an honest expression on your face." Sister Bao said innocently.
Duan Xiaolu rolled her eyes at her, "It's obviously to let her confess and be lenient." β
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, they were willing to surrender, and they explained the key points, from the life-saving grace of four years ago to the impulse last weekend.
"Wow." Sister Bao's mouth opened into an "O" shape, "Little fox, they all ran to his house to seduce him......"
Zhong Yi helplessly held his forehead and corrected: "I didn't seduce me, okay, I justγThat's when I especially wanted to ask him that question." β
"The point is," Cai Xiaotan took over the topic, "He asked you to make a personal promise, will you do it?" β
Zhongyi was stopped by her question, grabbed his hair irritably, and said frankly, "I don't know." β
"Not knowing is not necessarily, that is, there is a half chance of being or not being willing." Duan Xiaolu groaned for a while, and said the truth, "Zhong Xiaoyi, you just have a good impression of him at all." β
Zhong Yi was stunned, and lowered his eyes in contemplation.
Good feelings, there should be one, otherwise she wouldn't have had a special attention to him from the beginning, and her heart would be touched when she saw his tall and lonely figure.
"What...... Sister Bao shouted, startling the three of them, "When we were before, Sister Fox looked like she was lacking in interest, but I didn't expect to really be moved and like someone." β
"I don't like it yet." Cai Xiaotan and Duan Xiaolu said in unison, then looked at each other and smiled, and Cai Xiaotan came to explain Sister Bao's doubts, "She still has more kindness now." β
Sister Bao suddenly realized that she liked this person, who was about to grow up with a wealthy family and was much loved, and was relatively indifferent to things like fame and fortune, but basically a person who was happy and hateful.
If she wants to have a grudge against someone, she must not be good, she will definitely return the salute to the other party, and she will pick on the pain points of others, just like Song Yaling's clothing design competition.
And if others treat her well, she must spare no effort to repay, not to mention that Xia Linchen has a life-saving grace for her, she must be thinking about how to repay him with her heart and lungs.
In her eyes, the current Xia Linchen is more than a man, and she exists as a benefactor.
Sister Bao let out a long sigh and asked, "So what are you going to do?" β
"Let's take one step at a time." Zhong Yi looked sideways, greeted the sunlight outside the bedroom window, stood up and walked to the window, and looked downstairs.
The sun outside is so good, the sky is blue, and people come and go. Some people laugh and play, some people walk alone, some people have smiles on their faces, and some people are full of sadness.
Zhong Yi pressed the stirring voice in his heart, turned to look at the three friends, and said word by word: "I want to cure his eyes." β
The world is so good, and a person as kind as him should be in the company of light, not with darkness.
Standing against the light, they couldn't see her face and look clearly, but she was clothed in infinite light, and she said such a sentence, which made them believe for no reason that she could do it.
Duan Xiaolu laughed first and complained to her: "Then you are still hiding from others." β
"yes."
