It's hard to extricate yourself from the wrong love of the president

"Are you coming to eat dessert again?" Pulling out the chair and sitting on it, Gu Xiaoxia pushed the dessert in front of the person opposite, and said with a smile, "I heard from our waiter that you come every day, and you have to pack a portion before you leave. Going back, if all the customers are like you, we will be so happy."

Taking advantage of the opportunity to speak, Gu Xiaoxia secretly looked at the person in front of her for a while. Although she was over 50 years old, her whole body was still shrouded in a sense of elegance, especially those eyes, which were always gentle when looking at others. And, let people have no sense of distance.She thought, if the time goes back another 20 years, he will definitely be very popular with girls today, and he will definitely be a mature and attractive man.

"Cough cough..." Clenching a fist to her lips and coughing, Gu Xiaoxia was a little embarrassed, she always felt that the person opposite gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if she was born with a connection.This kind of familiarity is not because she finds out that he is the one who will follow her these two days, nor is it formed by him coming to Slow Shake Book Bar every day to report.She couldn't say it, but she couldn't ignore the feeling in her heart.

Just when she was about to escape in embarrassment, the man opposite finally opened his mouth slowly, his voice was like his own, elegant and gentle, even kind, "The desserts in your store are delicious, very similar to the desserts in my memory. What's more, the name of your store is also quite nice, let's shake the book slowly, it reminds me of a past when I was young."

This is the first time Gu Xiaoxia listened to him. She was stunned at the beginning, and then she was pleasantly surprised, "Listen to the accent, are you from City H?" Seeing him smiling and nodding, Gu Xiaoxia was even happier. This is the first time in City S that I met fellow villagers in recent years, except for Huo Fan.

Because of being a fellow villager, Gu Xiaoxia was less vigilant at the beginning, and spoke more casually, "Well, are you here for tourism? City S is also a city that people like. "

"Xia, my surname is Xia." The man didn't answer her, but just stared into her eyes and said again, "Xia in Xia Tian, ​​call me Uncle Xia."

"Oh." Gu Xiaoxia nodded, and didn't ask why she had to tell her her last name, it was just out of politeness, "Well, Uncle Xia, my surname is Gu, you can call me Xiao Gu."

The man's eyes dimmed suddenly, but it was only for a moment, and he returned to normal after a while, but when he looked at Gu Xiaoxia, he was still caught in the memory, "Xiao Gu, I think of my daughter when I see you. , if she grew up beside me, she should be as old as you, right? I haven't seen her for more than ten years, and I don't know where her size has gone, and I don't know how her mother treats her all these years OK……"

"Uh..." To be honest, Gu Xiaoxia doesn't quite understand this person who can be said to have just met, why should she tell herself these things?After thinking for a few seconds, she was relieved again. Didn't they say that she thought of her daughter.

"Then why don't you go and see her?" With a glance, she saw that the man seemed to be having a hard time, Gu Xiaoxia wanted to comfort her but didn't know where to start, so she subconsciously asked that question tentatively.She thought, maybe for a father who misses his daughter, someone to share his miss is the best comfort.

"You don't know, she has been with her mother since she was a child, and her mother has always refused to forgive me and never let me see her..." The man suddenly lowered his head, his lips pursed tightly, as if he was very sad, even in pain.When he looked up again, his complexion was not very good, but he smiled again when he spoke, "I just remember that when she was just born, I stood outside to watch her secretly, although I was in the nursery. There are many newborn babies, but I recognized her at a glance, because her eyes are the most like mine. I saw her jubilant by herself, sucking, sucking her own little hand. She is so big, but she is weird I can't bear to leave, but I know her mother will hate me even more if she finds out."

Gu Xiaoxia listened quietly, for some reason, she seemed to empathize with the sadness of the man, and even that sadness surrounded her tightly, making her a little breathless.

The man seemed to be caught in the memory again, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth all the time, that was what she saw on Gu Jiangtian's face all the time, every time Gu Jiangtian looked at her and Gu Xin like that, it was the same Doting smile.Perhaps, when parents all over the world think of their children, there is one place that is always soft.

"I didn't have the opportunity to be born with her, I didn't have the opportunity to grow up with her, and I couldn't even hear her call me daddy. I think I am the most irresponsible father in the world, but I still miss her very much, my only daughter. ..." At the end of the talk, the man's voice began to choke, and he even lowered his head, his shoulders trembling a little.

All of a sudden, Gu Xiaoxia was at a loss, so she had to rack her brains to think of some comforting words, "Uncle Xia, don't be sad, I think your daughter will be very happy if she knows that you have missed her so much for so many years. Are you to blame? Uh... Let me use an analogy, if my father is like you, I..."

Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxia suddenly stopped talking, and then involuntarily pulled out a self-deprecating smile, is there still an analogy?Didn't he have a so-called biological father whom he had never met?
Originally, the man was full of joy after hearing Gu Xiaoxia's words, and there was a small jump in his heart, but suddenly the words didn't continue, which made him scared instantly.When he looked up and saw the expression of the person in front of him, he blamed himself even more.But it was not easy for him to have this opportunity to say these words. If it is the next time, he might not be able to say it again, right?
After a pause, the man continued bitterly, "Before she was ten years old, I would sneak back to see her every year on her birthday. She didn't know, but every year I prepared a gift for her. Some little girls like it. Dolls, trinkets, but none of them were given away because her mother refused to let me, and her mother never forgave me and never let me see my daughter again."

Hearing every single word in her heart, Gu Xiaoxia couldn't help but think, what about her biological father?Has there ever been a time like this?However, in the next second, she shook her head almost invisible, what happened to herself?Gu Jiang is the father who raised her, so why would he have such thoughts about a person he has never met?

"Little Gu..." Just as she was trying to avoid the sudden and inexplicable sentimentality in her heart, the man opposite grabbed her hand without warning, his eyes filled with eager anticipation, "If you It's my daughter, will you forgive me?"

"Uh..." Gu Xiaoxia was startled at first, and then began to break free from the grasped hand, and her small face began to sink a little.

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Seeing this, the man hurriedly let go, apologizing again and again, "I'm sorry, Xiao Gu, I was too excited, I didn't mean it, I miss my daughter so much, I really hope she can call me Dad herself , I don't want to hear it before I close my eyes, I have too many regrets..."

Ben was a little displeased, but seeing the man's sincere apology and the sadness that could not be concealed, Gu Xiaoxia's heart softened again, and the inexplicable sense of familiarity in her heart was also throbbing uneasily. After thinking about it, she said, "Since you miss her, go find her. After all, blood is thicker than water, and family affection cannot be erased."

"Is that really the case?" Suddenly, the man seemed to see hope, and the previous sadness was swept away on his face, and he became a little radiant.

Gu Xiaoxia seemed to be infected by this change, and couldn't help but smile sincerely, "Well, I think so."

The man was overjoyed, he couldn't help but leaned forward, and said with eagerness and anticipation, "Then, Xiao Gu, you..."

"Xiao Xia." At this time, Huo Fan's voice suddenly appeared, interrupting what the man wanted to say, and then gave the man a warning look at a place where Gu Xiaoxia couldn't see.

Perhaps it was because Huo Fan's gaze was too harsh, the man subconsciously swallowed back the words in his throat, and bitterly changed back to another sentence, "Then Xiao Gu, I'll go first, let's talk another day."

Although Gu Xiaoxia was a little surprised that she was about to leave when she saw her suddenly, and she obviously didn't want to say that before, but she didn't ask any more questions, she just stood up politely, "Okay, Uncle Xia, goodbye."

"Are you familiar with him?" After the man left, Huo Fan naturally sat down opposite Gu Xiaoxia, pointed to the door, and asked leisurely.

"Not counting." Gu Xiaoxia shrugged, ordered a cup of refreshing drink for Huo Fan, and then sat down again, "Well, he comes to the store to eat dessert every day, just now he told me how he misses his daughter, It sounds pathetic."

"His daughter?" Huo Fan narrowed his peach eyes, seemingly carelessly, "It's someone else's business, so you should stop meddling, you know?"

"Well, I know." Nodding her head, the sadness lingering in her heart has not completely dissipated, so Gu Xiaoxia was not very energetic when she spoke, "Is your company not busy? Are you wasting time by running here every day? "In fact, her subtext is, don't come to me anymore, we can't go back.But for some reason, every time she wanted to make it clear, as soon as she met Huo Fan's eyes, her heart softened helplessly, and she couldn't say anything.In the past, it could be said that it was to hide the so-called secret, but now, when both he and she knew the truth, the relationship became delicate again.

What's more, Huo Fan stayed here during this time, never mentioning what happened in the humble garden that night, as if he came here every time to say a few words to himself, which really gave her a headache.

"I'm not busy, I don't need to do everything myself." Huo Fan couldn't see her careful thinking, avoided the sensitive topics of the two, pondered for a while, and finally said one of the reasons for today's visit, "I'm here to tell you something, it's about you."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxia raised her head in doubt, her eyebrows were also knit together, "Is it related to me? What's the matter?" She knew Huo Fan better than anyone else, and knew that he would never say meaningless words.

Glancing at the woman across the way, Huo Fan sighed slightly in his heart, and after considering his words, he said, "Your biological father has returned to China, and came to S city."

As expected, Huo Fan caught a glimpse of her in a daze for a while, and an indescribable smile slowly emerged from the corner of her mouth. Looking down, the little hands on the table had already clenched into fists.

"What is he doing back?" After a long time, Gu Xiaoxia heard her own voice, resentful and indifferent.

Huo Fan knew Gu Xiaoxia as well as she knew herself, so she didn't surprise her reaction, "What are you doing here? Isn't it to see you? But I heard that someone went to America to find him, so he decided to come back."

"So? What do you want to tell me?" Gu Xiaoxia raised her eyebrows, swallowed the bitterness in her heart, and asked indifferently, "I don't know you yet, and I never talk nonsense."

"You still know me as well as before." The corner of his mouth raised a smile that was not a smile, Huo Fan never saw Gu Xiaoxia's forced smile, "According to the news received, someone will use your life experience to make a big fuss, yes Your influence is not good. After all, you and Zhong Youhe just got rid of the negative news not long ago, right? Moreover, I heard that the old lady of the Zhong family is about to return to China. If there are any bad rumors at this fork, you should be able to imagine the consequences Yes." When he said these words, his heart was actually very sour.

"you……"

"You want to ask why I told you? Are you still thinking about you and Zhong Youhe?" Huo Fan backed away from the chair, and laughed at himself, "You and Zhong Youhe are fine no matter what, in my heart, as long as If you don't get married for a day, I still have a chance, don't you? The only thing I care about is you, and I don't care about the rest, don't you know? "

Gu Xiaoxia choked and couldn't speak for a while.How could she not know?
"You don't need to be nervous, just do what you want, but don't meet strangers recently, even Uncle Xia just now, don't talk too much, you know? Even if you sympathize with him, take it to heart, of course it's best What you need is to take care of your own business." Holding the drink to his lips, Huo Fan took advantage of the gap to stare at the person in front of him for a while.

In fact, he is also selfish, he knows that the person behind those actions is basically Huo Feng, and he also knows that he has to deal with himself to a large extent, so he has to take the lead and tell Gu Xiaoxia to be careful.But as long as he thinks that maybe she will be hurt, and thinks about her entanglement with her biological father, he can't bear it.It's right for Zhong Youhe to be by her side, but it's also his promise to protect her all the time, isn't it?

Thinking of this made his heart ache.Gu Xiaoxia never said how much harm she caused on Jiang Man's birthday, she always forgave herself like this, but what about herself?He didn't have the ability to find out the truth three years ago, missed the best time to find her again, and hurt her so much. Is he really the person who solemnly promised to protect her back then?
Also, do you want to tell her that the so-called Uncle Xia is actually her biological father Xia Xuecheng?Want to tell her what happened to Xia Xuecheng in the United States?Can she accept it?
Huo Fan's eyes dimmed and dimmed, and the right hand holding the cup began to tremble slightly, if one looked carefully.

Sensing Huo Fan's sudden silence, Gu Xiaoxia raised her head slightly, unexpectedly seeing the flash of annoyance on his face.

At this moment, Gu Xiaoxia suddenly realized that she still felt sorry for Huo Fan, what should she do?I don't want to see him frowning, he should be motivated, and I don't want to see him feel guilty about himself, that's not suitable for him.If it was because of those misunderstandings before, what about now?Is it a habit?
This discovery made Gu Xiaoxia also silent.She even felt that the more Huo Fan appeared in front of her, the more she could not be cruel to him.

Alas... Sighing silently, Gu Xiaoxia lowered her head, twisting her fingers to pass this embarrassing time.

"Let's go." After a long time, Huo Fan seemed to have recovered, slowly stood up, stretched out his hand, and signaled Gu Xiaoxia to stand up too.

Gu Xiaoxia didn't speak, but asked with her eyes.

"Heh..." He let out a helpless breath, and Huo Fan's voice carried some sadness that shouldn't belong to him, "Xiao Xia, have you forgotten? It's my birthday today...can you accompany me?"

With a "boom", Gu Xiaoxia was stunned on the spot. After she came to her senses, her little head was running fast, and finally found out in frustration that today was really Huo Fan's birthday, but she forgot, Intentionally let myself forget for three years.

Before meeting Gu Xiaoxia, Huo Fan almost never had a birthday.In the Huo family, his mother, Huo Ran, basically didn't love him very much, and Mr. Huo, who wanted to train him, only focused on training him. No one remembered things like birthdays at all.And this kind of missing family affection or birthday, after meeting the girl named Gu Xiaoxia, everything changed.

He still remembers that in the first year when we first met, Gu Xiaoxia hugged himself tightly and whispered in his ear, "I will accompany you to celebrate your birthday in the future, and there will be many more every year in the future. Do you have me, even if others leave you, I will always be in your world." She never knew that that time was the first time since he was sensible that his nose was sore and his eyes were red...

During those three years abroad, he never remembered that he had a birthday. The only thing that was engraved in his mind was to go back as soon as possible and ask her why...

"Where are you going?" The voice was buzzing, but at the same time it was pitiful. At this moment, Gu Xiaoxia suddenly didn't dare to look at Huo Fan, even though she told herself more than once, what are you afraid of if it has nothing to do with love?

With deep eyes, Huo Fan lowered his voice and said, "Accompany me to watch a movie? I heard that there is a good open-air movie in the west of the city. Don't you always like it? Just this one, okay?"

"Okay, then just wait for me, the store will close soon." She always couldn't refuse.

"Okay, the convenience store next door is still open, let me go and buy you something. After a busy day, you must not have time to eat, right?"

"Well, okay, I'll get in the car when I pack it up."

"Well, I'll wait for you."
