Chapter 54: Get Out
"First?" Dai Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, catching a seemingly normal, but somewhat abnormal keyword in Fang Yuan's sentence, "Do you have any other things or arrangements after that?" ”
"No, don't ask." Fang Yuan felt that his blood might not be able to flow into his brain, otherwise he would not have felt that his mind was swollen now, but his thoughts were not clear at all, considering that there was still Zhao Yinghua's sister in the car, she waved her hand a little embarrassedly, signaling Dai Xu to get into the car, and didn't say anything.
Dai Xu didn't have the intention of asking, just glanced at Fang Yuan a few more times, didn't say anything, nodded, got into the car, and the two of them drove Zhao Yinghua's sister back to the guest house. Zhao Yinghua's sister was not in a high mood, probably because she didn't feel very good during the banquet before, and she didn't talk much on the way back to the guest house, so she leaned back on the chair, tilted her head, and silently looked at the lights and street scenes that quickly crossed by the window, in a daze.
When they arrived at the door of the guest house, Zhao Yinghua's sister thanked Dai Xu and Fang Yuan listlessly, and walked into the door of the guest house without saying a word, and only when they were sure that she had returned to her residence safely did Dai Xu and Fang Yuan drive in the direction of home. When he got out of the car, Dai Xu also deliberately looked at Fang Yuan who was sitting in the co-pilot, Fang Yuan was distracted, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't say anything, until he was halfway through, Fang Yuan still looked absent-minded, and his mood was not too high, Dai Xu couldn't help but open his mouth: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Fang Yuan hadn't even heard what Dai Xu said to her at first, until Dai Xu called her a few times in a row. She finally came back to her senses, and turned her head to look at Dai Xu in a bit of a daze.
"What's wrong with you? Is there something going on? Seeing her like this, Dai Xu asked again.
"Let's get back to it. I can't tell. Fang Yuan waved his hand in distraction, unwilling to talk more.
Dai Xu raised his eyebrows, and did not reluctantly ask her, but instead talked about the various performances of Yao Xiangyang and his wife after Fang Yuan left: "After you left, we listened to Yao Xiangyang's wife explain their family's history for a long time, of course. On the surface, it sounds like Yao Xiangyang is not working hard, and his career has started very hard, but it is not difficult to hear it if you listen carefully. In the final analysis, what she wants to say is how much she has paid for so many years in exchange for her current hardships, and by the way, she also showed off how much Yao Xiangyang cares about her family and what kind of conditions she has created for her children. What kind of return did she make? Even before Christmas, I gave her a necklace with diamonds, which cost more than 10,000 yuan or something, and Zhao Yinghua's sister and I could hardly interject, so we could only listen, and I was still thinking at that time, it's actually good that you have something to go. ”
Fang Yuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, in this world, it has always been difficult to buy money. If she really knew, she couldn't tell if she would choose to stay and listen to Yao Xiangyang's wife say these unnutritious words. I would still be willing to go to Bai Ziyue's appointment.
What is more interesting is that although Yao Xiangyang was a little embarrassed by his wife's performance, he never stopped a word from beginning to end, and he also stubbornly helped to echo it, and until everyone was ready to leave, Yao Xiangyang never mentioned the 50,000 yuan of economic pension he promised before, as if there was no such thing at all, Zhao Yinghua's sister opened her mouth to talk to him, wanting to thank him for his hospitality, and before she could speak, she scared Yao Xiangyang first. It felt as if she was afraid that she would accidentally tell her about giving some money. Dai Xu also saw that Fang Yuan was absent-minded, but he still told everything before, "I think the performance of these people is also quite interesting." ”
Dai Xu's narration, Fang Yuan actually listened to it, but it was too much to hear, her heart was chaotic, there was a faint impulse, and at the same time, the only remaining reason kept ringing the alarm bell for her on the side, making her upset and in a dilemma. There are some things, timing is very important, but when is the best time, no one knows, keep not mentioning it, it may not be a good thing, but once some things are opened, that is, there is no turning back, no matter what the outcome is in the future, you can only move forward, not backward.
After meeting with Bai Ziyue tonight, Fang Yuan found that he was a little out of breath, but she still lacked a little bit of courage to kick in the door, and finally a little bit of desperate momentum.
When they got home, the two of them parked the car and walked home, Dai Xu's phone rang, he took out his mobile phone unhurriedly, and before he could answer, he found that Fang Yuan on the side was tense, staring at the mobile phone in his hand with a serious face, so he smiled, handed the phone to Fang Yuan, and said to her: "Tang Hongye." ”
Fang Yuan glanced at the name of the caller flashing on the screen, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then a face burned, needless to say that she also knew how obvious her performance was, but there was no way, the moment Dai Xu's phone rang just now, she felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and her heart was full of regret at that moment, she was afraid that the phone was called by Bai Ziyue, if Bai Ziyue said something to Dai Xu on the phone, Dai Xu didn't know how to react, I obviously wanted to say something to Dai Xu, but I couldn't open my mouth slowly, if it was really because of my own procrastination and hesitation, I missed the opportunity to speak clearly, and I was also preempted by others and made myself very passive, then Fang Yuan felt that she would definitely hate her indecision.
Although it was not Bai Ziyue who called, but Tang Hongye, the purpose of calling Dai Xu was also related to work, Fang Yuan's heart was finally put back in her stomach, but she also made up her mind at that moment, no matter what was embarrassing or not, no matter what the bow was open or not, she was out of the way today, what should be said clearly must be made clear, and the future will be talked about later, at least for now, there can be no regrets.
She secretly clenched her fists and swallowed a mouthful of saliva vigorously, as if to cheer herself up. I am afraid that the courage that I mustered up just now in a hurry will be lost again because of the passage of time.
The two men went upstairs and entered the house. Fang Yuan took off his coat, folded it casually, and put it on the sofa, then sat down himself, looking at Dai Xu, Dai Xu looked at her like this, knowing that she had something to say. He also took off his coat, took Fang Yuan's one and put it away, and then sat down opposite Fang Yuan.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? "Sit down. Dai Xu asked Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan nodded, she had already taken out the courage, but it was really two people sitting in the living room facing each other, staring at each other with such big eyes. She still can't help but feel a little like a drum. The throat and eyes were dry, the saliva of Fang Cai, and even the water in his body, seemed to have been evaporated by someone all of a sudden, dry and hot, a little uncomfortable. So she got up and poured a glass of water, thought about it, and poured another glass for Dai Xu. He walked back and handed it to Dai Xu's hand, and took a sip to moisten his throat. That's when he spoke.
"I just wanted to talk to you and ask what you think." She said to Dai Xu, as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt that her voice sounded so strange at this moment, saying hoarse is not hoarse, saying low is not low, as if the entire vocal cords have been flattened by something, and the voice has become different from the usual voice.
Dai Xu was stunned for a moment when she asked this, his expression was slightly dazed, and then he nodded and said, "Oh, no problem, my thoughts, of course I can tell you, this kind of thing is meant to be communicated." I went to Yao Xiangyang's appointment tonight, I just wanted to see which one he wanted to sing, but I didn't expect his wife to run away, and after such a performance, it was much more exciting than I expected......"
"No, I'm not asking about your case, it has nothing to do with work." Fang Yuan felt a little embarrassed at first when he saw that Dai Xu had agreed so happily, and when he really opened his mouth, he heard it, it turned out that he would be wrong, thinking that she was asking about Zhao Yinghua's case and Yao Xiangyang's thoughts, so he hurriedly interrupted.
When Dai Xu heard her say this, he also stopped talking and looked at Fang Yuan with a little puzzlement.
Fang Yuan was stared at by him, his face was hot, his heart was drumming, and his tongue was a little knotted, but a little timidity just came out of his heart, his eyes swept to the mobile phone next to him, and the courage that was slowly ebbing suddenly came up again, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Dai Xu's mobile phone, and said to him: "Before the two of us finish talking, unless it's a work-related call, none of us will answer other calls, let's finish things first, okay?" ”
"Okay, no problem, I can guarantee that." Dai Xu nodded and agreed without hesitation.
"That'...... I actually want to ask you......" Fang Yuan said to Dai Xu with a heart, careful not to be bitten by himself, "I want to ask you about the incident you told me before, what you think now. ”
"The thing I told you before......" Dai Xu scratched the back of his head with a still slightly confused expression, "You can give me a little more hint, I find that I have told you a little too much." ”
Fang Yuan glared at him, his face flushed a little: "That's it...... Didn't you tell me how you remembered me in the first place? I just want to ask you now, what do you think or feel after such a long time...... Has there been any change, is it still the same as it was then? ”
Dai Xu's face showed an expression of sudden realization, he nodded, sat up straight, as if he had deliberately corrected his attitude because of this topic, and finally nodded solemnly to her under Fang Yuan's nervous gaze, and said, "I'm actually a bit of a dead eye, I don't know if you have such a feeling since we got along for so long." Basically, I don't make any hasty decisions, but once I have made up my mind and recognized the facts, I will never change easily. If I hadn't been so sure I wasn't on the spur of the moment, I wouldn't have spoken my mind. Let's put it this way, at least until I have worked hard and been rejected by righteous words, it is absolutely impossible for me to change my mind, of course, even if the final result is rejection, I am definitely not the kind of person who is stalking and pestering. ”
After finishing speaking, he also stopped, looked at Fang Yuan carefully, and asked, "You suddenly asked me about this matter today, do you already have an idea and want to give me a clear answer?" It's okay, you don't have to be so nervous, just be true to your heart, I won't put any pressure on you, although I don't dare to boast of being a gentleman or something, but I believe that after getting along for so long, you should be trustworthy about my character. ”
"Then since that's the case, then the idea hasn't changed before, and it won't change in the future......" Fang Yuan tried very hard to say his thoughts bravely, but the gap between the ideal and the reality was that she was almost already shouting in her head, and her voice sounding weaker and weaker, "Because I like you too." ”
Dai Xu was already with a happy expression almost after he knew the words Fang Yuan muttered at the end, although he didn't have a very exaggerated expression, he looked relatively calm, but his two eyes became crooked, full of smiles, and the expression muscles that were originally slightly tight on his cheeks were now relaxed again, but he didn't immediately jump up from the chair excitedly like a silly boy, but after secretly raising his eyebrows, he tried to restrain his emotions and asked Fang Yuan: " Have you thought about it? ”
"I've thought about it." Fang Yuan nodded, she originally thought that it would be very difficult to admit this matter, and it would take a lot of courage and confidence, but now under the urging of courage, she finally confessed her heart, only to find that in fact, it was not as difficult to accept this matter as she imagined.
"Fang Yuan, I told you my thoughts before, because you had to accept the arrangement of the family and go on a blind date with others, so out of a little selfishness, I hope that I can also be used as the object of reference, but after that, I have never tried to put any pressure on you, what kind of reply I have urged, because I know that the changes in your family make you insecure about your relationship, and you are also a good girl, seriously investing in a relationship, what it means for a girl, even if I am a man, I can imagine. So I hope you can really clarify your mind and truly accept me. (To be continued.) )
