Su Cheng's lover's name is Han Tao, who works in the administrative department of the imperial capital government and is a department-level cadre of the unit. In order to make further progress, Han Tao took the initiative to apply for a temporary post in a poor county called Zhuxi in Hubei.

Sioux City was vehemently opposed to this decision. Their nine-year-old daughter is in the fourth grade, and she has a lot of schoolwork to take care of, and although her parents live in Sioux City to help them, the elderly have diabetes, arthritis, and low back and leg pain, and it is a bit difficult to take care of them in life, not to mention their studies.

According to Su Cheng, he is a lawyer, his work is busy and irregular, while the work of civil servants is stable and regular, not to mention that he is still in a not very important administrative department, and the family responsibility of taking care of the old and the young should be shared more by Han Tao, and the work can take care of the family.

But helplessly, Han Tao actively asked for progress, and the administrative department full of talents can get to the position of Zhengke, which is enough to show a certain ambition and ability, in this case, if you don't have a particularly outstanding ability or a strong network background, it is really difficult to go up, especially for women over forty.

It is conceivable that this opportunity to take a temporary position is also extremely difficult to fight, and the temporary position means promotion, so even if she feels a little guilty about the child, even if Su Cheng strongly opposes it, she resolutely took office as scheduled, and since then it has completely angered Su Cheng.

You can go home on a temporary job, there are a few days of vacation a month, and Sioux City can also go over to reunite at any time, but more often, one is too busy to return, and the other is too busy to leave. Middle-aged marriage is like the ice surface that is warm and cold in early spring, fragile and fragile, and a stone smashed directly into an ice cave that is broken with points and surfaces. It was also at this time that Su Cheng met Su Xia, or Su Xia's appearance just made up for the resentment and vacancy of that feeling.

Of course, these plots were all pieced together by Su Xia from solemn words. Su Cheng was reluctant to mention it more often, and only when Su Xia took the initiative to ask, of course, Su Xia didn't ask much, because it had nothing to do with her. What is the specific relationship between husband and wife, and whether the other party is competitive or not is only one side.

Despite this, Su Cheng and Han Tao are a "model couple" in the eyes of others, and Su Cheng is not only a good lawyer, but also a "good man" in the eyes of outsiders.

At least that's what Zhuang Zhuang commented, "Su Cheng is a good man in a hundred." You said that he was busy as a lawyer, but he didn't leave behind his family to clean and cook and take his daughter. His daughter-in-law is a strong woman at work, and she has risen all the way, so she is not going to other places again, so behind the successful female official is a successful male lawyer, haha. This is still what I said in the previous chat with Zhuang Zheng.

Su Xia only smiled lightly when she heard this, as if she was the only little boy who saw through the emperor's new clothes, and only she clearly knew the empathy of this good man in the eyes of others.

But this did not affect Su Xia's evaluation and favorability of Su Cheng in the slightest.

Su Cheng has never talked about the family, only said that only the responsibility left in the marriage is left, so he will not divorce, it is this kind of anti-routine that deeply attracts Su Xia.

If Su Cheng is also the kind of complaining about how bad his wife is, how he lives in the swamp quagmire of marriage, and promises to a scumbag and stealing man in marriage, maybe Su Xia and Su Cheng will not have a start, or they will leave early.

In Su Xia's opinion, Su Cheng's honesty just proves that he has a sense of responsibility. Because Chen Xuan's derailment and various irresponsibilities after the divorce gave Su Xia fatal trauma and injury, she now feels how important a sense of responsibility is to a man, and it has become an important indicator for her to re-examine and measure a man. In this era, it is even more difficult to meet a reliable and responsible man than to win the lottery, even if it is an extramarital affair partner.

"The derailment of the body doesn't mean anything, and I don't want anything, just the warmth and comfort of each other." Su Xia thought to herself, comforting herself. Su Xia's plain and bitter life really hopes for a little passion and spice, but Su Xia ignores that he is not the spice in someone else's marriage.

"Today she comes home." Sioux City said during a routine phone call from work on Friday.

"Who?" Su Xia, who was still immersed in the sweetness of answering the phone, asked, because according to the usual practice, the two of them could meet in about an hour.

"my girl." This is Su Cheng's title for Han Tao in front of Su Xia, perhaps to emphasize that they have no feelings, only children's fucking affection.

"Oh." Su Xia's mood suddenly dropped to the freezing point, and he responded in a talkative manner. Of course, the tone is bland, today is a weekend date, and Su Xia planned to go to a couple's movie together, a music tavern dinner, and go home to linger. She likes to sit in the last row of the movie theater the most, in the dim light, two people snuggle under the big screen, holding hands, and drinking a bottle of drink together is sweet enough, not to mention the kiss in the depths.

"Not happy?"

"Aren't we going to the movies?"

"Another day, next week. Today I have to go home early to buy groceries and cook. ”

"Okay." Su Xia said yes on her lips, but her heart was full of resentment. From the beginning of dispensable, no desire, I don't know when it evolved into full possessiveness.

"I'll watch you whatever you want next week."

But today is Valentine's Day......

Xibao, who was on summer vacation, went to her grandmother's house, and the rare tryst time became a lonely person.

Su Xia decided that she couldn't waste this rare free time, and decided to trim her hair, which was already out of shape, get a manicure, and comfort herself for a "big meal" by the way.

The barber shop and nail salon are located in the business district of a landmark commercial street in the imperial capital not far from home. Su Xia got home, parked the car, went upstairs, put down his backpack, changed into a pair of comfortable flat shoes, and walked towards the business area alone.

Looking from afar, the pedestrian street has been covered with a sea of sparkling flowers, as well as giant heart-shaped lanterns, only to see a couple of lovers shuttling under the neon lights flashing, Su Xia who is alone looks particularly abrupt, and even a large number of old ladies and children who come out of this kind of festival every time they are holding bouquets of roses and selling hard disdain to look at her, as if to say: "It's pitiful to be single, and there is no one who even buys a 10 yuan rose." ”

In the past, Susha disdained this kind of holiday, the so-called Valentine's Day, Christmas...... It is full of marketing routines full of copper smell of merchants. But the more a person lacks something, the more he wants something, the unmarried Su Xia lacks the love and lover that belongs to her.

After cutting her fluffy and neat hair and doing her pink and gorgeous nails, Su Xia was not as interested and excited as she had repeatedly admired in the past, and even her interest in "big meals" had disappeared.

"How ironic it is to really be someone else's 'lover' but no one has ever accompanied 'Valentine's Day'!" Su Xia thought to herself, smiled bitterly helplessly, and the carnival of men and women with the lanterns and feasts behind her gradually drifted away.
