Despite the chatter and laughter during the meal, the atmosphere was too lively. But as soon as he finished eating, Fang Zhuo was obviously a little nervous. His eyes kept rolling on Xiao Xiao.

Su Siqi took advantage of Xiao Xiao's bowl into the kitchen and asked him quietly, "How is it?" Did it succeed or not? ”

Fang Zhuo shook his head: "I guess she won't agree." ”

"Don't worry, this matter is on me, and I will definitely help you take Xiao Xiao down."

Fang Zhuo laughed and patted Su Siqi's shoulder: "Thank you, buddy." ”

Su Siqi said: "I will definitely help you, but you have to be smart yourself, don't go in and wash the dishes quickly." ”

Fang Zhuo said: "Shen Mengqing was like this when he chased you? ”

"That's not it, he does all the cooking and washing dishes, and he is not willing to let me do anything at all, as long as you insist, even if Xiao Xiao's heart is made of ice, she has to cover it."

Fang Zhuo nodded, got up and went into the kitchen, and saw that Xiao Xiao was about to pour dish soap into the sink, and stepped over and snatched the things in her hand: "I'll come, you go out to rest." ”

Xiao Xiao was embarrassed to let him wash the dishes and snatch the dish soap back, but he was in the wrong shape and actually threw himself into Fang Zhuo's arms, the man took advantage of the situation and hugged her with a strong arm tightly around her waist, but he quickly let go, because Xiao Xiao's face had sunk.

Xiao Xiao was about to get mad, but when he saw that he let go, he gave up and said lightly: "If you want to wash it, wash it." After saying that, he turned around and walked out, but his face was faintly clouded with suspicious red clouds.

Fang Zhuo watched the faint blush spread, spreading all the way to the root of her ears and neck, the whole person looked like a blooming camellia, extremely pretty, and his throat tightened a little.

Su Siqi saw Xiao Xiao come out with a red face, and couldn't help but squeeze her eyebrows at her: "How is it?" It's a good performance, okay or not, give me a good word! ”

Xiao Xiao knew that she had overheard the conversation between herself and Fang Zhuozhuo, and patted her angrily: "Su Siqi, do you hate it?" ”

"The two of you are my best friends, if you can be together, that is: the two honeys are combined, and the world is invincible!"

Xiao Xiao listened to her nonsense, and couldn't help but laugh again, "What kind of double honey merge, it's a mess." ”

"Really, give me a word, can you do it?" Su Siqi asked.

Xiao Xiao didn't say anything, and shook his head after a while.

Su Siqi knew that this matter was a bit hanging, and she was a little worried about Fang Zhuo. But Xiao Xiao's personality is a little similar to her, the more she persuades, the more stubborn she becomes, so she can't push too hard, she can only take her time.

Fang Zhuo came out after washing the dishes and stood in the living room, in front of Su Siqi, he couldn't chase Xiao Xiao for an answer, so he said goodbye to the two beauties.

Xiao Xiao said, "I'll send you down." ”

Fang Zhuo's heart jumped, knowing that Xiao Xiao had something to say to him, so he nodded hurriedly: "Okay." ”

Su Siqi looked at the man's hopeful eyes, and it was difficult to give a hint, so she could only sigh in her heart.

When they went downstairs, neither of them spoke, and they didn't speak until they walked to Fang Zhuo's car, Xiao Xiao stopped and looked at Fang Zhuo with a serious face: "Now I can answer you." ”

Fang Zhuo looked at her cold gaze, had a bad premonition, and hurriedly said, "The time is too short, you should think about it for a few more days before replying to me." ”

"Fang Zhuozhuo," Xiao Xiao's voice was loud: "Whether it is now, a few days later, or a few years later, my answer is the same." I can't accept you, it's okay to be a friend, but it's not okay to be a lover. ”

Fang Zhuo had never been rejected by a woman like this, or that a woman had never rejected him, he froze there for a while, his expression looked very solemn. He is a free and easy person, he wanted to smile indifferently, but he couldn't.

In the end, he didn't say anything, and got into the car silently.

Xiao Xiao stood by the car window, looked at him with some concern, and whispered, "I'm sorry, Fang Zhuozhuo." ”

In Fang Zhuozhuo's opinion, this sentence is a bit more fuel-fueling. He smacked the gas pedal and sped away.

Fang Zhuo drove the car like a headless fly on the road, and he didn't know where he was going. Finally, I drove to the river before stopping.

There was no one by the river on a winter night. He got out of the car, lay on the guardrail, and looked at the quiet river under the embankment in a daze.

In fact, he and Xiao Xiao didn't meet many times, and they happened to meet so many times, but I don't know when he had a special feeling for this woman, and he didn't know it at first.

It's just that once, he and Jiang Puliang were standing on the side of the road waiting for someone, and it happened that Xiao Xiao passed by them with Ono, so they said hello, chatted a few words, and teased the child, in his opinion, this was a very ordinary encounter. But that night, he was in a very good mood, so good that Jiang Puliang's eyes were a little wrong when he looked at him.

In the end, Jiang Puliang hooked his neck and asked him if he liked Xiao Xiao, how could he have seen her, and the state of the whole person was different.

It was only then that he suddenly realized that he was in love with Xiao Xiao.

As Su Siqi's best male and female girlfriends, he has known Xiao Xiao a long time ago, in his impression, Xiao Xiao can make more trouble than Su Siqi, such a woman is okay to be a friend, but being a girlfriend is a trouble, so he rejected Su Siqi's proposal to match the two of them.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, after going around and around, he himself fell in love with her.

What do you like about her? At this time, she has not gotten better than a few years ago, but has more identities that are not tolerated by the world's eyes: an older unmarried mother.

In the past, Fang Zhuo couldn't even look at such a woman, and the girls around him were all tender and fresh, as if they could pinch out the water with a slight pinch. And Xiao Xiao, thirty hangs zero, has a two-year-old son, the hardships of life make her no longer as glamorous and beautiful as before, but time has left a kind of simplicity and bloom in her. Although every time he saw her, he was plain-faced, but her clear eyes, bright smile, and the calm expression between her eyebrows made him quite excited.

The first time he was moved by her, he remembered it very clearly. That day, he went to help a little girl who had just caught up with him buy egg tarts, that century-old shop, every day is limited to a limited number of supplies, so if you want to eat delicious egg tarts that are still steaming, you have to go to the queue early, even he has no privileges, can only obediently line up in the line.

He rarely queues up, so he is a scoundrel in every way, and when he looks around, he sees Xiao Xiao holding a little boy at the back, he knows about her and Ah Ye, guessing that the child should be Ah Ye's son, who looks very cute. He sympathized with the orphans and widows and wanted them to get in front of him, but in front of everyone, he couldn't call her, so he said hello to the people behind him and ran to the back to call her.

Xiao Xiao listened to his explanation, smiled and thanked him, but did not appreciate it.

Why, he asked?

Xiao Xiao looked down at his son and said that he wanted to set a good example for his child.

He was a little speechless, the child is so young, what do you know! persuaded her again, but Xiao Xiao insisted on refusing, so he had no choice but to give up and go back to the front. But there was a faint unhappiness in his heart, he didn't expect Xiao Xiao to be so stubborn, he couldn't help but look back at her, the woman standing behind her lowered her head, talking to the child, her smile was so clear and quiet, almost everything around her lost its color.

At that moment, he visibly felt his heart skip a beat.

The next thing is to meet again and again, and greet him naturally again and again, and soon, he got acquainted with Ono, and asked Ono to call him godfather, and the child liked him very much, and he didn't twist at all, and called him crisply. Hearing the sound of the godfather, he was excited and excited, and almost forcibly took the mother and son to dinner.

It was the only time the three of them had eaten together, sitting around a small table full of cartoon paintings, and they felt like a real family of three.

Ono was very happy, and called "godfather" one by one, but after listening to it for a long time, he hoped to remove the word "dry" and be Ono's real father.

It was the first time he had eaten with a mother with a child, and it was amazing, and he tried to act like a father, taking care of Ono and taking care of her. Maybe for Xiao Xiao, it was just an ordinary meal, but for him, that meal made him discover his heart.

After a long time, he still remembers it vividly.

He has always been accustomed to chasing the wind and the moon, he slowly stopped, and began to think about his future, whether to continue to be an optimistic playboy, or like Shen Mengqing in the past, stay by the side of a certain woman and live a peaceful and peaceful life.

In the past, he didn't understand Shen Mengqing, and he didn't understand how he could give up the entire forest for the sake of a Su Siqi, so many watery, tender girls, beautiful faces, and fresh bodies...... But he understands a little, because he is in love, he can't tolerate another person in his eyes, this is love!

So he gradually withdrew from those drunken and gold-obsessed lives, told him to drink and he went, and the women were spared, and even Jiang Puliang laughed at him for changing to a vegetarian diet now.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong, even if there was a watery, tender and beautiful little girl next to the men in the audience, only he was alone, he didn't feel envious, because she was in his heart!

He called her under the pretext of asking either Ono or Su Siqi, and only said lightly when he was about to hang up the phone:

You pay attention to the body.

Don't get too tired.

Call me for something.

And so on.

Only he knew that what he really wanted to say on the phone was the last sentence. Because I was afraid that she would see it, I used a lot of dispensable words to cover it up.

I endured it for so long, but when I heard that Ono was sick, I finally couldn't help it.

He can imagine that a woman with a bag on her back and a child in her arms, squeezing around in the crowded hospital, queuing, paying fees, taking medicine, getting injections, so many tedious things, she can only rely on her alone.

He was very distressed, so he came and came to her for a showdown. He wants to take care of Ono with her and also take care of her.

He knew her feelings for Aye and was mentally prepared, but her blunt refusal was nothing more than a blow to him.

Fang Zhuo stood in the cold wind, his distant gaze on the black river, where the neon colors on both sides of the river were reflected, sparkling and shining, and the light was strange.

He kept thinking, why didn't Xiao Xiao accept him? Why? Is he really that bad?
