Chapter Twenty-Three: Untitled.
Xiao Tu was indeed a little too silent tonight, not like him at all.
Lin Nanshu watched him quietly, trying to see the expression on his face.
At this time, the hall lights suddenly dimmed.
Only the white light on the raised platform in front of him was still on.
A man and a woman stood up arm in arm.
The handsome man and the dignified and beautiful woman, the two stood side by side, smiling at each other, eyebrows and eyes, as beautiful as a picture scroll.
"That's my eldest brother Xiao Yunting and his fiancΓ©e, Miss Huo Sisi." Xiao Ming didn't know when he came to Lin Nanshu's side, he looked at the people on the high platform, and said with envy: "Big brother and Miss Huo have walked side by side for twenty years from acquaintance to love, and now they have finally achieved positive results. This kind of unchanging love is really enviable, and I don't know if I have the blessing of my eldest brother, meeting a confidant and meeting him to the white head. β
Lin Nanshu didn't know how to answer his words, so he had to smile and stare intently ahead.
Seeing that she didn't mean to respond, Xiao Ming's eyes darkened slightly, and then smiled freely: It seems that she has really grown up.
Xiao Yunting and Huo Sisi finished speaking, and the lights in the hall were turned on again.
Lin Nanshu subconsciously turned his head to look for Xiao Tu, but Xiao Tu was gone, the place where he was staying was empty, and he searched around, but he still didn't see him.
I don't know when he left, and he didn't say hello. Lin Nanshu muttered in his heart, and his face also showed a little loss, at this time, Xiao Yunting and Huo Sisi came over to toast, Lin Nanshu had no choice but to put away his thoughts and follow Ms. Ji to raise a polite smile again.
At this time, the open-air garden on the top floor is lonely, in contrast to the lively hall below.
Xiao Tu straddled the railing alone, holding a can in his hand, and drank it one sip after another.
The wind gently blew the broken hair on his forehead, revealing good-looking eyebrows and eyes, and his red hair hung listlessly for some reason.
Mrs. Xiao walked up to him, clasped her hands, leaned against the pillar, and snorted coldly, "See, this is the reality, everyone looks down on our mother and son." Do you think you can be safe without fighting or grabbing? β
Mrs. Xiao smiled mockingly: "Huh...... You're dreaming! β
"Fate is such an injustice, some people can have everything without doing anything, and some people even if they do everything, no matter how hard you try, you may end up with nothing ......"
Xiao Tu couldn't help but interrupt her: "Since you also know, then why bother ......"
"Why bother fighting for it, right?" Mrs. Xiao shook her head, her eyebrows and eyes similar to Xiao Tu were a little cold, and she said, "Xiao Tu, you are too stupid and naΓ―ve, and there are some people who can only wait for death if they don't do anything." β
"You are my son, and we were born to be grasshoppers on a boat. Do you think you can get rid of this identity by arguing with me every day? Will other people look up to you? Impossible, in this world, only our mother and son are the only ones who rely on each other. β
"So Xiao Tu, mom won't hurt you, don't be willful, be obedient, coax your dad well, get everything you can get, do you want anything then?"
Xiao Tu pinched the can in his hand and threw it into the trash can, then looked back at Mrs. Xiao and smiled, "Don't say it so nicely, you're just for yourself." I don't care what you want to do, and you don't care what I do. β
After finishing speaking, she got up and left, Mrs. Xiao was half angry and half dead, and said that she had used all the soft and hard things for a long time, why didn't this kid listen.
She roared angrily: "Xiao Tu, are you going to wait for your father to leave, and after Xiao Yunting is in charge, you will be happy to drive our mother and son away and show them on the street?" β
Xiao Tu suddenly stopped, turned his back to Mrs. Xiao, and clutched the edge of the door frame, his fingers slightly white.
After a long time, he was hoarse and said, "Even if he drives us away, won't I be able to feed you?" Stop doing those annoying things. β
Mrs. Xiao: "I'm not doing all this for our mother and son. β
Xiao Tu: "You are for yourself." β
He sighed, didn't answer again, let Mrs. Xiao shout behind him, and left firmly.
