Chapter 3: The Dark Tide at the Dinner Table

I don't know when he became familiar with everything about her, understood everything about her, every movement, every look, he knew what she was thinking and what she would do.

He took a step faster than her, grabbed her hand, and Song Tong stopped and looked up into his gaze.

His eyes were full of pain, but he squeezed out a wry smile and said this with his mouth, "I owe her a pair of legs." ”

Song Tong's eyes moved slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said a thousand words, and in the end, there was only one sentence left, "I'm going back to the room." ”

In the evening, Song Tong helped his mother cook together.

When I went to throw away food scraps, I didn't expect to see the health shoes I bought for Su Li in the trash.

The new, shiny shoes were covered in dust and stains.

"Forget it."

Song Tong stared at the shoes for two seconds, pulled his lips, threw the leftovers in, and turned to leave.

At dinner time, because of the extra sister-in-law Su Li, the atmosphere at the dinner table was completely different from the warm and pleasant in Song Tong's memory.

"Husband, eat more food, you like this the most."

"Husband, I want to eat pork ribs, you clip it for me."

"Thank you husband~~"

Su Li's sweet and greasy voice sounded one after another, making people have no room to divert from the topic at all.

Father Song and Mother Song, looked at Su Li and Song Xu, and then at Song Tong, their expressions were full of embarrassment that could not be concealed, but they could only remain silent.

Song Tong seemed to be completely undisturbed, eating with vegetables elegantly and calmly.

Song Xu always responded to Su Li's request with a gentle smile like a mask, constantly sandwiching the dishes she wanted to eat and eating the dishes she sandwiched.

It's just that every time Su Li shows affection like this, the strength of his grip on the chopsticks becomes tighter.

Especially when his gaze catches a glimpse of someone he cherishes and bows his head because of him.

His little sister should have greeted all the favors proudly, but because of him, because of his past mistakes, she was inferior again and again in this family that belonged to her.

Su Li saw the small movements in Song Xu's hand, and then looked at Song Tong, completely calm, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

What to pretend, she doesn't believe it, Song Tong doesn't mind at all?!

She hooked her lips, pulled Song Xu's hand like a coquette, and said to Song Xu with a little arrogance: "Husband, why don't you pick up vegetables for your little sister, don't you love her the most?" ”

"My little sister has grown up, and now you need me to take care of you even more." Song Xu smiled softly, sandwiched a piece of her favorite bamboo shoot for Song Tong, and put it on her plate.

Su Li took in his reaction, and in his heart, he was so angry that he exploded.

Why?

Why?

Even if it was the same smile, when facing her, his smile was only forbearance, accommodation and hypocrisy like a mask.

But it was just a moment of turning his head, and his gaze at another woman was so affectionate and gentle, like the warm sun in winter.

What's even more ridiculous is that what she loved was his smile at the beginning.

Song Tong quietly took in Su Li's reaction, and suddenly felt very tired and sad, the warm home she longed for was gone in the original mistake.

Taking a deep breath, she put down the dishes and chopsticks, attracting the attention of the whole table.

Song's father, Song mother, and Song Xu, looking at her eyes, were a little nervous, after all, between Tongtong and Ah Xu, they used to ......

Su Li looked at her eyes, but there was some expectation and eagerness.

Her heart has long been scarred in this marriage, she feels that she needs to vent, she needs a fierce war to vent, otherwise she will be driven crazy by Song Xu.

He plays such a perfect husband role, and he is so impeccable that people only feel powerless, just crazy about to go crazy.

Song Tong raised his head and looked firm, "I'm getting married." Just tomorrow. ”

"What?!"

The whole table asked in unison, looking at her eyes, full of incredulity.

"Tongtong, who are you marrying?"

"Marriage is a big deal, this can't be a joke!" Song's father and Song's mother looked at Song Xu nervously and helplessly.

"He's a person I like and love very much." Song Tong grabbed Song's mother's hand on the side and exerted himself slightly, "I have been looking forward to marrying him for a long, long time." ”

Song Xu's hand holding the chopsticks burst with green tendons, and his gaze was as heavy as mountains and rivers, like fire, scorching every skin on Song Tong's body.

He looked at her with a clear expression of his anger.

But in an instant, the anger vanished, and the habitual disguise, even if it was broken for a moment, the mask would quickly heal.

He lowered his head and continued to eat, he knew all his questions, someone would help him ask.

Su Li looked at Song Tong in disbelief, a little excited in her heart, and when she saw that Song Xu was wrong, she was full of jealousy and hatred, and instantly destroyed that excitement.

She knew that after being married for so long, Song Xu still couldn't let go of Song Tong!

But Song Tong is going to get married, what else can he do, does he dare to stop it!

Would he dare to leave her!

Su Li glared at Song Xu angrily, suppressed the emotions tumbling in her heart, squeezed out a smile, and said to Song Tong: "Little sister, what is that person's name, where does he live, what profession he does, how long have you known him?" If you don't make it clear, I'm afraid your brother will have to worry about not sleeping well! ”

Song Xu's action of eating slowly stopped, staring at the gentle eyes at a certain point on the table, as if condensed with a layer of indifference, and as if it was on the verge of breaking out, the last depression.

Song Tong looked at his brother, who was quiet and a little scary, and then at his sister-in-law who looked fearless, took a deep breath, and replied calmly.

"His name is Lian Shaokang, he is a group executive, we have known each other for a long time, and he is a very reliable person."

Song's father and Song's mother said uneasily: "Bring it back first, and your parents will help you check it." ”

Su Li couldn't remember when there was such a person by Song Tong's side.

But when Song Tong talked about this person, he was happy and trusting, not like a disguise, and Song Xu beside him was obviously more and more concerned, and couldn't help but be a little worried, no matter how much he stimulated Song Xu, he would really let him leave her regardless of it and prevent Song Tong from getting married.

Maybe after so many years, Song Xu still can't let go of Song Tong, just because Song Tong is still single, if she really wants to tie up Song Xu forever, it is better to take this opportunity to help Song Tong quickly become a family person!

She smiled, and immediately said to Song's father and Song's mother: "Parents, it's rare for my little sister to want to get married, why are you still holding back?" The household registration book is in Dad's study, and I'll help my little sister get it. ”

As she spoke, she turned her wheelchair and headed up the stairs.

However, Song Xu did not follow up as usual.

Su Li turned his head and saw him sitting there motionless like a sculpture, his face instantly turned cold, but a fire began to burn in his heart.

"Husband, aren't you coming to hug me? Do you want me to climb upstairs and get it for your sister? ”

She asked with a smile, and Mother Song immediately pushed Song Xu and said reproachfully, "Don't help Xiaoli yet." ”

Song Xu clenched his fists, stood up, and when he walked to Song Tong's side, his plain and gentle eyebrows had already been cracked, and they were overflowing with heaviness at the moment.

He strode up to Song Tong, grabbed her wrist, and forcibly took her away.

"Brother!"

"Song Xu! You give me back! ”

"Ah Xu!"

Different voices sounded at the same time, but Song Xu didn't look back.

Su Li screamed angrily, moved her wheelchair and hit the wall, trying to attract Song Xu back, but Song's father and mother were afraid that she would hurt her, so they hurriedly went to stop him.

"Why?"

He pulled her to the balcony, facing the cold wind, the cold wind blew for a long, long time, blowing the unwillingness and the burning hatred in his chest, he turned to face her, stared deeply into her eyes, and asked seriously and seriously.

Song Tong looked at his bloodshot eyes, and could imagine how tortured he was at this moment, but even if she said an answer that he didn't want to hear and wouldn't believe it, she still had to tell him the truth.

She stared into his eyes and said to him seriously, "Because I like that person, brother, I want to start a family with him." ”

"Don't lie to me, okay? There has never been anyone named Lian Shaokang around you! If you have, there's no way I'm not knowing! ”

Song Xu looked at her distressedly, hugged her tightly into his arms like he did when he was a child, and protected her, his voice was already choked: "Tongtong, it is me who owes Su Li, you don't need to rush into marriage for the sake of guilt!" Even if you owe her anything, you paid it off three years ago! ”

"Brother." Song Tong grabbed his hand that imprisoned him, slowly and forcefully broke away from his control, and looked directly into his eyes rationally and soberly, "Brother, you understand me, I am not a tolerant and great person, you are." Except for you and your parents, I will not wronged myself because of anyone, including Su Li. ”

"So, why?" He was puzzled, he wanted an answer.

"Because I love him, I want to enter into marriage because of love."

"You and him, it's because of love?" The night wind was abusive, and Song Xu chewed bitterly word by word, "What about me?" ”

If you are telling the truth, then what is all that we have endured over the years?

This is the first time since returning home that Song Tong feels powerless and guilty.

She looked at him, memories of the flesh and blood, of her past with whom she had been so close, and of the promises made under the trellises.

"Past ......" was silent for a long time, the noisy wind messing up her hair, and her merciless words smashed on his heart, smashing one bloody scar after another.

She said, "In the past, it was me, so immature. ”

He shook his head in disbelief as he retreated in embarrassment, until he grabbed her shoulder as if he was awake, "Tongtong, don't lie to me, don't lie to yourself, let's go, let's get out of here together......"

"Well said!" Su Li pushed the wheelchair and entered the balcony, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth and applauding.

"It's really a brother and sister. Since you are so inseparable, then I will simply give up this position! Just when my leg was broken for a bastard! When I'm asking for my own misery! Become a cripple! ”

Those legs, it's because of a pair of legs!

He stared at Su Li, and Su Li was suddenly frightened.
