Volume 8: The Romantic Season (12)

Accompanied by Chen Zhao's faint breathing, the calm voice from Yang Xiaoru's phone was evident in this secluded alley, but it was a little deafening and heavy when it came to his ears...

Seems... She had already guessed many outcomes, and she had the worst possible outcome.

But fortunately, it was autumn, and a person stood in silence at the mouth of this alley, and it was not as hot as summer. Autumn is the season when Chen Zhao's favor is second only to spring, it is not hot, but it is not a cold evening, and the wind is so mild.

"She said that she 'loves' Zhang Jun as much as you do. I don't quite understand what it means, but she asked me to tell you, and you'll understand. ”

“...”

There was a dead silence on the other side of the phone for four or five seconds.

It's not that silence is more appropriate. Not the slightest breathing could be heard, as if time had frozen at that moment.

Chen Zhao knew very well that there must be some meanings in these words that he didn't understand, but on the premise of not understanding, he also didn't understand why this sentence had a special meaning.

"Really... Such. Zhang Jun is really open-mouthed, he can say anything, dare to say anything, what... It's all spoken. Yang Xiaoru replied with a smile: "You don't know the meaning of this sentence, do you?" ”

“...”

Chen Zhao didn't speak, but seeing that Yang Xiaoru had no intention of continuing to speak, he continued, "I don't understand." ”

Actually, it didn't mean much to make me unhappy. I was silent for a few moments, just thinking about something strange. Actually, this is a relief for me, and it is a good thing. Of course, there may be some injustices mixed in. But I'm not sure if it's unfair... I'm very complicated inside.... Well, do you understand what I'm saying? ”

“...”

Yang Xiaoru's string of inexplicable words, kept in the dark, how can Chen Zhao, who knows nothing, understand?

It's hard for the strong...

But it was for these reasons that Yang Xiaoru dared to say such a bunch of words that made him feel inexplicable.

"It's just a pity... There are some things he didn't tell you. I won't tell you either. With the passage of time, these secrets, which are not secrets, will slowly rot in the long river of time like the roots of a tree. ”

Yang Xiaoru sighed with emotion, "But this is life." Nine times out of ten, life is not satisfactory, life can not always develop according to their own pursuit, in life... Some people are happily grinding by life, and some people are suffering from life. It's sad... But this is not a problem of society, not of the world. It's just a matter of what people have by themselves. ”

This is the last sentence that Chen Zhao does not understand.

She finally smiled mildly, "Then I'll hang up the phone." I'm sorry for the strange things you heard.... You should be, well, as if I was whining. ”

However, Chen Zhao couldn't just listen to her like this, not express his opinion, and let these questions hover in his mind.

He called out to Yang Xiaoru, "Wait... That, what should I say, that secret? And what does that mean? ”

Yang Xiaoru was stunned, and seemed to smile, "Chen Zhao, do you want to live an uncomfortable life?" ”

"I don't want to..."

"Then why ask. You're a very happy person..."

...

The call came to an end.

In Chen Zhao's eyes, this autumn is surprisingly long.

It was only a dozen or twenty minutes back and forth, and he felt as slow as walking all day.

He tried his best not to let himself think about Yang Xiaoru's strange words, but his curiosity lingered. What's more, in her own heart, a woman with some special feelings, a family of good friends in her heart.

But he really couldn't figure out what the reason was, when he got home, he saw Xia Qing cutting vegetables and the daughter she brought home, Chen Zhao temporarily discarded his troubles.

"Where?" Xia Qing asked curiously.

"I went to Yu Yazhi and told me something, it was Yang Xiaoru who asked me to ask..."Chen Zhao didn't hide it at all, and then said, "I met a friend on the way, and she asked me to invite her to dinner... I can't excuse myself. ”

"Ate outside?"

Xia Qing frowned, and then smiled bitterly, "I've cooked your portion." ”

"Tomorrow at noon, I'll fry it myself, and it won't be bad if I leave it for one night." Chen Zhao said with a smile.

"Hmm... That's it. ”

This is the end of the bland conversation between husband and wife.

"By the way, the company starts tomorrow, and it may be a little busy. As I said, I'm busy on weekends, so these days, I may not be able to come back in time to cook in the evening, can you take Xiaole out to eat after you take her home in the evening? ”

Xia Qing stopped what he was doing, looked at Chen Zhao, and added, "You don't have cash, and it's troublesome to get it from me every time." I've left a few hundred drawers at home, so you can use them if you want... If it's too troublesome, I'll give you a bank card..."

"You don't need a bank card. What am I doing here? A few hundred yuan is enough, and it's not good to eat. Chen Zhao understood: "Will work be tiring?" ”

As he spoke, he touched his daughter's head who was doing homework, and looked at Xia Qing with some concern, "If you're tired, you shouldn't be able to work overtime." It's okay if you don't want overtime pay... The body comes first. ”

Xia Qing smiled, "I'm not tired, it's just a little troublesome, there are a lot of documents, and I have to deal with it late, you don't have to worry." ”

“...”

Chen Zhao didn't ask any more.

In fact, for Xia Qing, Chen Zhao didn't even know what her most basic profession was, and he didn't dare to ask, for fear of leaking flaws, so he had been so ignorant.

Of course, he did not feel too tired. When I go home at night, I just deal with a lot of documents and contracts, my skin is not rough, and my hands are as tender as a little girl, not rough work.

In this way, Chen Zhao made the decision not to consult as much as possible.

Naturally, Chen Zhao also guessed, maybe it was some secretary or something, but it wasn't very similar, and he didn't usually see Xia Qing answer any calls, if it was a secretary, the phone wouldn't be without one for a long time.

didn't think much about it, he shifted his gaze to his daughter, and changed from thinking to doting.

In the past few months, Chen Zhao has indeed seen his daughter grow taller and gain a lot of weight. Xia Qing has plans to let her eat less, and the little girl with a set of sets in her mouth was fat when she was a child, and she got these when she grew up.

Chen Zhao, who didn't care much about this, was always persistent in working against Xia Qing. He loves his daughter very much, his eyes, face, and mouth are more and more similar to himself, only the nose is like Xia Qing's...

It's the New Year, when you take her to see her parents, they will love her as much as they do, right? Even if you don't want to see yourself...

"Daddy..."

"Huh? What's wrong? Chen Zhao was stunned for a moment and asked with a smile.

"Teach Xiaole to do homework."

"Okay!"

Chen Zhao responded with a smile on his face.

....

It was late at night.

It was 9:30.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, and several black clouds shuttled in this dark night sky, covering the moonlight and the shadows underground...

Chen Yi stood at the door of Yu Yazhi's house, the hesitation in her eyes in the evening still did not disappear, she was not a decisive person...

In this contemplation, she gritted her teeth and rang the doorbell.

"Who?"

Yu Yazhi was still a little vigilant in the middle of the night, and it was better to open the door at will as casually as during the day.

"Me, Yazhi!"

"Chen Yi?" Yu Yazhi was a little stunned, but opened the door instead, and said curiously, "Why did you come to me?" Aren't you going to go to work early tomorrow? ”

Asked, she stepped out of the way, "Come in and sit." Is there something going on? ”

"I want to come to you in the evening... I just ran into Zhang Jun at the door and said that you were taking a bath, so I won't bother you. I wanted you to invite me to dinner..."Chen Yi took a deep breath and smiled, "but in the end, because he destroyed it, he asked him to invite me to dinner." ”

“...”

Yu Yazhi couldn't cry or laugh, she said, "You came to me to talk about this?" ”

"I want to discuss something with you..."Chen Yi turned to the main topic.

"Things?"

Yu Yazhi was a little puzzled: "What's the matter?" And I'm so polite, just say it..."

She then threw a bottle of juice to Chen Yi.

"It's about Chen Zhao, some... Special. ”
