Anyway, anyway, now that the two of them are out together, at least they won't be sarcastic and hostile to each other, and they can already have normal exchanges on some small issues.

Regarding the easing of the relationship between himself and Liu Xiaomei, Hong Tao didn't feel it, or didn't feel it at all, he didn't have the heart to think about other people's affairs, and now he himself has a big problem, that is, Zhou Xiaoli.

It has been 1 week since Liu's father and daughter moved to Lao Gaier's house, and during this time, although Hong Tao finally moved back to Zhou Xiaoli's house on the weekend, he no longer lived in the same room with Zhou Xiaoli, and was arranged in a separate room.

The relationship between the two people is not as harmonious as it used to be, Hong Tao is not so careful, he originally thought that this is a woman's nature, after a few days of vinegar, once the sourness passes, there will be nothing. But this is not the case, Zhou Xiaoli's attitude towards him has changed significantly, the tone of her speech, her eyes and everything are different, she is more polite but more distant, and she also began to avoid physical contact with Hong Tao, let alone any intimate actions.

Hong Tao was puzzled by this change. A woman's heart is a needle in the sea, and it is difficult to find out what they are thinking. Women are emotional thinkers, and men are rational thinkers, so ordinary men can't use their own logic to judge women's minds. Hong Tao is not a grandmaster in this regard, so he can't figure out the truth of the matter, but he doesn't want the relationship between the two people to be easily broken because of such a trivial matter, in his mind, the most willing to get close to Zhou Xiaoli is still Zhou Xiaoli.

Men chase women across the mountain, and women chase men across the veil. If Zhou Xiaoli deliberately distances herself from it, Hong Tao, as a man, has no way at all. And Hong Tao himself is not such a romantic person, he can't say those words that are fleshy and numb to please Lu, and he can't say the tricks to please women. I don't want to do it from the bottom of my heart.

In his mind, normal interactions, real relative, is the most reliable relationship between men and women, if you have to use those bells and whistles to please the girl, then this girl will not be so cute in his mind, and there is no need to please her if she is not cute.

Since Zhou Xiaoli deliberately distanced herself, Hong Tao made several efforts and made her attitude clear, but she no longer made any statements. He felt a little bored at the moment, since people were no longer willing to stay with him, then if he was so reckless and wasted here, it was really not a good temper, but a better face.

Now Hong Tao's only entanglement is that he is abroad and lives in Zhou Xiaoli's house, and the current situation makes him very difficult. You said that if you are unhappy, you should buy a ticket to return to China, but you are really unwilling. The domestic epidemic is at its peak at this time, and it is better not to come out if you go back now, if you don't have to do it, Hong Tao doesn't plan to choose this path.

Find a place to rent a house and live alone. It's not impossible, at least Old Gail, Pavey and even Zhou Dajiang and Sister Zhou can help themselves with this, and it's not difficult, but in this way, even if there is a complete break between himself and Zhou Xiaoli. As a last resort, Hong Tao didn't want to do this, for the friendship between the two. Hong Tao still cherishes it very much, if you can't be a husband and wife, you can still be friends, even if you can't be friends, it's best not to be enemies.

Continuing to pretend to be a troublemaker without mentioning anything black and white, it hurts Hong Tao's self-esteem a little, as if he was suddenly abandoned in a strange environment, and his heart is very unpleasant.

As for Liu's father and daughter, Hong Tao doesn't care too much, although Boss Liu is good, the two of them can talk about it, and it seems that Boss Liu is quite willing to associate with Hong Tao, but that Miss Liu is really hateful, in Hong Tao's opinion, the reason why she and Zhou Xiaoli are like this this time, although it can't be said that it is all the credit of this eldest lady, but she can't pick it so cleanly.

If there is something in the heart, there will be a change in the person. No matter how deep the city is, it can only pretend to be for a while, deceive outsiders, and for these people who live together almost every day, they will soon find out that there is a problem. Old Gail was the first to ask Hong Tao directly, these foreigners are generally reluctant to ask other people's personal questions, they think it is interfering in other people's lives, even if it is their own children, they will not ask too much. So after getting Hong Tao's answer that he had nothing to do, Old Gail didn't ask, but just told him that if he had any questions, he could talk to him directly.

Boss Liu is a good person, but he has been pretending to be stupid on this issue, pretending not to see it when he sees it, and every day except for talking about where to go fishing and where to go to watch the game when eating together, he didn't say a word about Hong Tao.

Liu Xiaomei should be the last person to feel Hong Tao's changes, she used to ask Hong Tao to accompany her out to the mall, to the beauty salon, to the restaurant, Hong Tao sat in the co-pilot seat and stole joy alone. Either he is holding a map and pondering, or he is lying on the car glass to see the Western scenery, he beckons to people for every car that passes by, whether people see it or not, he is happy, if he catches up with a beautiful woman who drives and gives him a response, he can be happy for a long time.

But these days, Liu Xiaomei found that Hong Tao was becoming more and more silent, he didn't look at the map, he didn't say hello, and as soon as he got in the car, he sat in the co-pilot's seat, as if he was dozing off.

This kind of day lasted for another week, Liu Xiaomei couldn't bear it anymore, she no longer asked Hong Tao to accompany her out, and returned the rented car. If she wanted to go anywhere, she would call a taxi directly, and in the words she snorted at dinner: the taxi driver knew everywhere, and would rather wait for a taxi on the road than go shopping with a mute.

Hong Tao's goal has been achieved, he is actually pretending to be most of it, although he is a little unhappy, and he has a little worry, but it has not reached the level of being depressed all day long, not thinking about tea and dinner, he has seen the things between men and women in his previous life, and he will definitely not have the kind of passion of teenagers in this life, and he can't meet a woman who can make him think about it.

His purpose in doing this is very simple, that is, to get rid of Liu Xiaomei's burden, but this matter is not easy to say, so what should I do? Let's play yin, I put on a dead face all day long, half-dead, see which of us can consume whom!

Sure enough, the hot-tempered Liu Xiaomei couldn't help it at first, and took the initiative to stop asking Hong Tao to accompany him, so Hong Tao was finally liberated, and the first thing he did the next day was to make a phone call to Pa Wei and ask him if he had time to shoot the target, and after getting Pa Wei's affirmative answer, he immediately called a taxi, and then said hello to Old Gale, saying that he would not come to dinner at night, let them solve it by themselves, and then got in a taxi and ran.

Old Gail and Boss Liu, a pair of old guys, have now become good playmates, when Hong Tao accompanied Liu Xiaomei all over the city to suffer, the two of them actually secretly went to the shooting range to shoot targets, and also went to a small lake in the north to fish twice, but they didn't call themselves to go with them, this is a naked betrayal, so Hong Tao doesn't plan to call them to do things together, let's play their own games.

Pavey was glad that Hong Tao could come to play with him, he and his wife were at home with nothing to do, and the children were no longer around, and they were just waiting for the marijuana he had grown all day, which was really boring, so he and his neighbors went to Lake Simco in front of their house to go fishing.

Fishing is boring to play alone, and now Pavey can't look down on his neighbors anymore, since he has the 2 bags of special effect bait that Hong Tao gave him, his fishing level is like a rocket jumping into the air, and the fishermen who used to be able to play with him don't like to fish with him anymore.

The reason is very simple, who wants to play with someone who catches more fish than you everywhere and doesn't want to teach you a little fishing trick, that's not just to make fun for yourself. In addition, Pavey's mouth and Hong Tao belong to the same master's teaching, the more angry you are, the more he talks, and he won't be finished if he doesn't get angry with you.
