Hua Tao cooked the noodles and was too lazy to pour them into the bowl, so she simply brought the whole pot to the table.

She ate two bites, suddenly became playful, took out her mobile phone and took a selfie, then clicked on WeChat and sent it to Xia Sheng, and then attached a line of text: Losing weight is eating a whole pot of noodles by one person.

Within two minutes, the mobile phone rang, Hua Tao was overjoyed, and quickly picked up the phone, but when she looked at the screen, she found that it was not Xia Sheng who called, but her mother.

"Mom?"

"Little Peach, don't you have to go to work today?"

"A little uncomfortable, took a leave of absence in the morning. Mom, how do you know I'm not at work? ”

"The background of your picture looks like you're at home."

"...... photos?" Hua Tao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Oh, I sent it to you?" ”

Hua Yunruo laughed: "I guess you must have made a mistake." ”

The little man in Hua Tao's heart jumped up and down, holding his head and screaming: Why did you make a mistake!

"Slippery hands for a moment." Hua Tao calmly said to Hua Yunruo on the other end of the phone.

Hua Yunruo asked, "Where are you uncomfortable?" I happen to be nearby, so let's go up and see you. ”

Hua Tao said: "It's okay now, you don't have to come up on a special trip." ”

Hua Yunruo said, "I'll see you later." ”

Hua Tao: "......" was the signal bad just now?

Ten minutes later, Hua Yunruo really came.

After Hua Tao opened the door and invited her in, she remembered a question.

"Mom, you don't have to go to work today?"

Hua Yunruo walked to the dining table, glanced at the pot of noodles that still had more than half left, and said slowly, "Today is Saturday." ”

Hua Tao pointed to the pot of noodles and asked, "Have you eaten it?" Would you like to come some? ”

"I haven't eaten yet." Hua Yunruo said, "You actually learned to cook?" I'll taste it. ”

So Hua Tao went to the kitchen to get chopsticks.

The two mothers and daughters ate very heroically around a pot.

"Is it delicious?" Hua Tao looked up at Hua Yunruo.

Hua Yunruo said that he had to think about it before he could answer.

"Okay, needless to say, I got it." Hua Tao thought to herself, I shouldn't have asked.

"Actually, it tastes okay." Hua Yunruo hurriedly said.

Hua Tao nodded: "I think so myself." ”

Hua Yunruo: "......"

"Xia Sheng will finish all the food I cook." In order to show that she is not narcissistic, Hua Tao immediately cited living examples, "Xia Sheng is quite picky in eating, which proves that the dishes I cook also have a certain level." ”

Hua Yunruo was caught off guard and was shown off by her daughter.

"Okay, I got it." Hua Yunruo said, "Xia Sheng really loves you very much. ”

Hua Tao: "......" How unpalatable is the food I made?!

After eating the noodles, Hua Tao took the pot to the kitchen, poured some water into it and soaked it, and then turned around and came out.

Hua Yunruo was already sitting on the sofa, looked at Hua Tao and pointed to the empty seat beside her, and motioned for her to sit down. The peach bird swooped down.

"Tell me, what's going on with your eyes?" Hua Yunruo asked.

Hua Tao subconsciously wanted to raise her hand and rub her eyes, but was stopped by Hua Yunruo.

"Still rubbing, isn't it red enough?"

"Very red?" Hua Tao blinked.

"You quarreled with Xia Sheng last night?" Hua Yunruo had a worried expression on her face.

Hua Tao knew that she would definitely be cranky, so she didn't want her to come over on the phone just now.

"There was no quarrel." Hua Tao quickly considered whether she should tell Hua Yunruo the truth of the matter in her heart.

"Then why are you crying so much that your eyes are still puffy?" Hua Yun expected that Hua Tao must have something to do with her, and she must ask for a reason.

Hua Tao felt that even if she told her something, she and Xia Sheng were going to get engaged, and when they got married, they would be a family, and there was no need for any secrets.

So Hua Tao told Hua Yunruo about Xia Sheng's parents, but she didn't say anything about Xia Sheng sobbing in his dream.

If Hua Yunruo is a sentimental person, watching Qiong Yao dramas can consume several packs of tissues.

But this time she behaved a little strangely, frowning and dazed.

Peach nudged her shoulders slightly, and her eyes widened as if frightened.

"What's wrong, Mom? Have you listened to me? Hua Taohu stared at her suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong with her, "Why are you so pale?" ”

"It's a little cold." Hua Yunruo rubbed her arm, "I sneezed twice when I went out today, so I may have caught a little cold." ”

Hua Tao said, "Why didn't you say it earlier, I'll go get a thicker coat for you." ”

They are of similar stature and used to wear each other's clothes a lot.

Hua Yunruo stood up and said: "No need, I've been out for a long time, I originally asked your dad to have lunch together, but he seemed a little unhappy when he released his pigeons, I went back early to boil the soup he liked, and coaxed him at night." ”

Hua Tao: "......" That man seems to be unhappy at all times, right?

"You're leaving?" Hua Tao also stood up.

"Well, I'm going to the market to buy ingredients." Hua Yunruo turned around and walked towards the door, walked to the door, stood again, looked back at Hua Tao and said, "The past is over, you also persuade Xia Sheng, let him not think too much, people should look forward." ”

Hua Tao knew that Hua Yunruo was talking about Xia Sheng's parents, so she nodded and said, "I will persuade him." ”

Hua Yunruo left, his steps a little hasty.

……

Tao Sihua lay on the sofa in the living room and did cross-stitch.

She is now serving as the administrative director of Jinsheng Group and has a very effective assistant, so the workload is not large, and she can basically rest when she should rest, unlike Tao Shenglei, who has to work overtime on weekends.

The maid was cleaning the room upstairs, and when the doorbell rang, she couldn't hear it at all, Tao Sihua stood up, stretched, and went to open the door.

"Aunt Yun? Didn't you have lunch with your father? Tao Sihua was a little surprised.

"Ah, no......" Hua Yunruo flicked the bangs in front of her forehead, and gently pressed her temples again, "I'm a little uncomfortable, so I'll be back......"

Tao Sihua hurriedly took her arm and helped her to sit down on the sofa.

"Headaches? I'll pour you a glass of boiling water. ”

"Thank you." Hua Yunruo's eyes fell on the spread cross-stitch, and smiled, "It's so beautiful." ”

Tao Sihua handed the water cup to Hua Yunruo, and also smiled: "Some female colleagues in the company play this during their lunch break, I look at it interesting, and I also buy it to play, who knows that it is so tiring." ”

"Embroider slowly, don't worry, you won't be tired." Hua Yunruo drank a little water and put the cup aside, "I'll go back to my room and rest." ”

"I'll help you up."

"No, it's okay, maybe I just caught a cold."

After Hua Yunruo returned to the room, he never came out again.

When it was almost time for dinner, Tao Shenglei came back.

Tao Sihua was still playing cross-stitch, lying on his stomach all day, and had a little back pain.

"Father, when Aunt Yun came back at noon, she said that she had a headache and locked herself in her room all afternoon, so go and see her." Tao Sihua said.

When Hua Yunruo hadn't moved in yet, Tao Shenglei rarely went home, so the time that the two fathers and daughters could talk to was very limited, and they couldn't speak ten words a month on average. But since Hua Yunruo came to Tao's house, Tao Shenglei began to go home on time at half past six every day, and his always cold and serious expression has also changed, with more smiles and more words.

"I'll take a look." Tao Shenglei frowned, handed the briefcase to the maid, and walked quickly towards the bedroom.

He was worried that Hua Yunruo was still sleeping, so he didn't knock on the door, but gently pushed the door open.

The bedroom was very dimly lit, no lights were turned on and the curtains were drawn.

Hua Yun didn't sleep, so he sat at the dresser, staring blankly at a comb.

Tao Shenglei walked over and gently pressed his hands on his shoulders.

"Isn't it uncomfortable, why don't you have a good rest?" There was a hint of reproach in his tone, but more of a distress.

Hua Yunruo didn't come back to her senses until this time, and turned her head to look at Tao Shenglei: "You're back?" Ah, it's so late. ”

"What were you thinking?" Tao Shenglei gently hugged her from behind, leaned over and whispered in her ear.

Hua Yunruo turned around and buried her face in his arms.

"I ...... I don't know what to do. ”

Tao Shenglei was taken aback, he had always been calm and calm, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, but Hua Yunruo's action, a word, could affect his thoughts and make him chaotic.

She was his nemesis.

"What's going on?" He stroked her head and frowned.

Hua Yunruo thought about it in the room for a long time, but she couldn't figure it out anyway, and the more she thought about it, the more chaotic it became.

"You've got to tell me what's going on so I can help you with an idea." Tao Shenglei said in a coaxing tone.

If people who know Tao Shenglei hear him speak in such a tone, they will definitely suspect that Tao is not possessed by something strange.

Hua Yunruo hesitated for a moment, but finally told Tao Shenglei about Xia Sheng's parents what he heard from Hua Tao.

When Tao Shenglei heard the end, he said coldly: "Their experience is indeed sympathetic, but people are dead, and after so many years, they have long since returned to dust and dust." You're sad and stupid. After speaking, he touched her hair again.

Hua Yunruo shook her head and said sadly: "It shouldn't have been like this. ”

Tao Shenglei didn't comfort anyone, so he could only say bluntly and gently: "It's already over, don't think about it." ”

Hua Ruoyun left his embrace and looked up at him, the dim light blurring the expression on her face.

"They could have escaped." Hua Yunruo choked up and said, "If it weren't for me, ......"

She couldn't go on anymore.

It was a long, long time ago, so long that if Hua Tao hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten it.

Tao Shenglei frowned and wiped the tears from her cheeks with his fingertips.

"What the hell is going on? How can their affairs have anything to do with you? ”

Hua Yunruo tried to calm down her emotions for a while, and then said slowly: "I hadn't found a job in a kindergarten at that time, I worked as a cashier in a supermarket, and I rented a house nearby for the convenience of work. ”

Tao Shenglei lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Hua Ruoyun ran away from home in order to be with him, but later he married someone else and left her, he originally thought that she would return to her parents, but who knew that she didn't.

For so many years, she had stayed in Cloud City, living in the same city as him.

But I never met by chance.

Hua Yunruo continued: "The house opposite me has been unoccupied, and suddenly one day, a family of three came. ”

"Is that them?" Tao Shenglei couldn't help but ask.

"Well, that lady is a foreigner, her eyes are emerald green, but she speaks Chinese very well and is kind to people. Their child was about the same age as Xiao Tao, and he was very sick at the time, and I advised them to take the child to the hospital as soon as possible. ”

"Actually, I only have two sides to them, the first time was when they moved in, and the second time was when they moved out."

"I was on the night shift that day and I met them in the hallway when I came home. They took a lot of luggage and knew at a glance that they were going to move away. I didn't see their children, so I asked casually, and they said that they had let go of their relatives. ”

"I got along with the lady and talked a little more, but the gentleman urged her that it was almost too late. The lady told me apologetically that they were in a hurry to catch the train and then left in a hurry. ”

"Not long after they left, I heard someone knocking on the door across the street, so I went out to see what was going on."

Tao Shenglei was a little helpless: "In the middle of the night, how can you just open the door and go out?" ”

Hua Yunruo said: "Yes, I regret going out at that time. ”

"There were two young men knocking on the door, very gentle, and when they saw me, they pulled out a photo and asked me if I had seen anyone on it."

Needless to say, the photo is naturally the family of three.

Tao Shenglei didn't need her to go on to know the follow-up development.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, even if you don't say anything, they have already arranged for people to guard the airport and train station."

Hua Yunruo said: "But I said it, I told those two people that they had just left and went to the train station." ”

Tao Shenglei sighed: "Whether you say it or not, the result of the matter is still the same." It's only a matter of time before they can still find them. ”

Hua Yunruo shook her head: "I said ......"

Tao Shenglei held her shoulder, bent down to look at her at eye level, and said word by word: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to feel guilty at all, they have laid a net, even if there is no word from you, the Xia family and the couple still can't escape." ”

Hua Yunruo said stubbornly: "But I said it!" ”

"So what?" Tao Shenglei hugged her into his arms, "You don't mean it." It can only be said that it was their fate. ”
