Chapter 18: Zhang Xiaoyu's Dilemma
After Zhang Hanhai left, Zhang Xiaoyu collapsed on the sofa.
Lan Yingying saw something, but it was hard to say, let alone ask, so she could only wait for her to say it herself. After sitting on the sofa for a while, Lan Yingying got up to make breakfast and lunch.
Facing a table full of dishes, this was the first time Lan Yingying saw that she couldn't raise her appetite, and she was a little worried: "This thing makes you so embarrassed?" ”
"Hmm." Zhang Xiaoyu took a deep breath and looked a little more relaxed, "Eat, don't think about those unhappy things." ”
Both of them began to move their dishes and chopsticks.
During the meal, Lan Yingying looked at Zhang Xiaoyu from time to time, which made her a little embarrassed, and asked, "Why do you always look at me?" ”
"I'm thinking about you and Chen Guang." Lan Yingying quickly changed the topic.
"What can I do with him." When Zhang Xiaoyu heard Chen Guang's words, he bowed his head to eat with a weak heart.
"You can see that you like each other. Have you been refusing to accept him because of family matters? ”
Zhang Xiaoyu nodded, still not daring to look directly into Lan Yingying's eyes, for fear that she would guess something in the next second.
"Chen Guang came to a strange city for you, working in a small police station, and you can definitely see his dedication. If you don't like him or really can't be with him, just say no, don't let him have unnecessary expectations. Or just be brave and face the adversity together. ”
After a while, Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes began to redden, and he looked up at Lan Yingying: "Yingying, my predicament, maybe I can't solve it myself." I don't want to hurt Chen Guang, let alone him. ”
"Only you know how powerful this is. So you can't drag it out like this anymore, it's just going to hurt each other all the time. Seeing Zhang Xiaoyu's red eyes, Lan Yingying was also a little sullen, but she still wanted to help these two people, just like the two of them helped themselves unconditionally.
"I'm like standing on a single-plank bridge now, with tigers in front and wolves in front of me, and crocodiles in the water, and I'm in a dilemma."
"Don't forget, you have a gun, don't let worry dictate your decisions, sometimes you need some uselessness to break your fear."
Zhang Xiaoyu shook her head: "Yingying, you are really strong and brave, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." ”
Looking at Zhang Xiaoyu, who was about to cry, Lan Yingying patted her back with her hand: "Let's eat, don't think too much." ”
After eating, Zhang Xiaoyu felt a little uncomfortable and lay on the bed again.
When Lan Yingying came out after washing the dishes, she found that she had fallen asleep. Walked lightly to the balcony, looked at the clear sky outside, and muttered alone: "No matter how strong and brave I am, the regret in my heart is irreparable." I hope you don't have these regrets. ”
Thinking of Zhang Xiaoyu with red eyes, Lan Yingying felt a little sad in her heart, and secretly made up her mind: no matter what hardships there are, she will definitely help her.
After standing for a while, Lan Yingying sat down, thinking about what happened just now: Xiaoyu's father asked her to go to the city bureau, but Xiaoyu was so repulsive. The reason why Zhang Xiaoyu didn't dare to be with Chen Guang was because he was afraid of hurting him.
These questions came together, and Lan Yingying probably knew something. Zhang Xiaoyu's father wanted her to enter the city bureau, definitely for his convenience. And Zhang Xiaoyu's rejection of his arrangement shows that she already knows what her father did.
Lan Yingying shook her head vigorously, not wanting it to be like what she imagined. Look into the distance, let yourself go, and don't think about things that bother you.
The continuous vibration of the mobile phone pulled Lan Yingying's thoughts back, and her eyes changed from empty to focused. As soon as I turned on my phone, Chen Guang swiped the screen in the group again, all of which were photos of him holding food, and only wrote a sentence at the end: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival with two beauties!
Looking at the photos, and then at Zhang Xiaoyu, who was asleep, Lan Yingying sighed deeply, walked into the house, took the key on the shoe cabinet, and then quietly went out.
Buy some mooncakes with different flavors at a nearby pastry shop. When Lan Yingying entered Zhang Xiaoyu's house yesterday, she found that she bought a lot of food, but there were no moon cakes.
Carrying the moon cakes back to Zhang Xiaoyu's house and putting the moon cakes on the table, Lan Yingying just sat down when she heard Zhang Xiaoyu shouting: "Hurry up!" ”
Frightened, Lan Yingying immediately stood up again and looked towards Zhang Xiaoyu. I saw her sitting on the bed with her eyes blurred, and there were tears rolling in her eyes.
Lan Yingying walked over lightly and sat on the edge of the bed.
And Zhang Xiaoyu had a nightmare, a little frightened, and looked at Lan Yingying sitting beside her for a while. Finally hugged her and cried loudly.
Lan Yingying gently patted her back and whispered, "Cry, just cry." ”
After crying for a while, Zhang Xiaoyu let go and said in a choked voice: "I dreamed that my father was going to kill Chen Guang, what should I do?" ”
"It's just a dream, it's not real, don't think about it too much."
"But ......" Zhang Xiaoyu was a little excited, and raised his hand in the air a few times, "What if it comes true?" ”
"No, it will, it will be, it will be, it will be, it will be!" Lan Yingying said it word by word.
And Lan Yingying's firmness seemed to have infected Zhang Xiaoyu, and she began to slowly calm down with excitement.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoyu's spirit had eased up, Lan Yingying got up and poured her a glass of water. When handing over the water, he said by the way: "Look at the group, go back to him." ”
Zhang Xiaoyu took a sip of water, picked up his mobile phone again, looked at the photo Chen Guang posted today, looked at it and laughed unconsciously, and sent a proud expression.
At night, the moon in the sky is especially round.
Lan Yingying moved the small table to the balcony, set up the mooncakes she bought at noon, and pulled Zhang Xiaoyu to enjoy the moon and eat mooncakes together.
Holding the bean paste-flavored moon cakes, Zhang Xiaoyu took a bite, the glutinous taste and sweet taste made her enjoy this moment a little, and the festival with her friends was also unexpectedly comfortable, and she couldn't help but say what was in her heart: "Since my parents divorced, I haven't had the Mid-Autumn Festival again." However, I found it nice to spend time with you. ”
Lan Yingying turned her head sideways and looked at Zhang Xiaoyu, who was eating moon cakes in the moonlight: "As long as you want, you can live together in the future." ”
"Really?"
Lan Yingying nodded.
"You're so nice!" Zhang Xiaoyu gave Lan Yingying a flying kiss, "I think, we can all spend the festival together in the future!" Your craftsmanship is so good, don't waste it, I'll help you eat! ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, turned their heads to look at the moon together, and continued to eat moon cakes.
Lan Yingying opened the strawberry-flavored mooncakes, put them in the corner of the table, and silently thought in her heart: Mom, this is the mooncake I bought for you.
Seeing Lan Yingying's movements, and then seeing the strength in her eyes, Zhang Xiaoyu also silently decided: You must be strong and protect what you want to protect.
