half thorns, half joy

Xiao Zihan has a kind heart and a soft personality, but he is also very stubborn. Once he decides on something, he must do it.

So he stayed with Cai Jinyu all the time, vented all his negative emotions, kept his thoughts in his heart, and only returned to Xiao's house after he could act as if nothing had happened.

Before going home, he called Xiao Mingyuan.

When the phone was connected, Xiao Mingyuan's kind and stern voice came.

Xiao Zihan cleared his throat, "Dad, will this be over?"

"Well, I'm done, what's the matter on the phone?"

"It's okay, it's just the invitation card I chose with my mother yesterday. I can't make up my mind again, so I want to ask you and my mother for their opinions."

Xiao Mingyuan said in a flat voice, "You and your mother can choose this together, I won't choose."

"Hey, I'm so confused. Is Mom by your side? If you are, you can ask her for me."

"No, she's gone to take a shower. I'll ask her to call you back after she finishes taking a shower."

Xiao Zihan hummed, and Xiao Mingyuan hung up the phone.

Listening to the beeping sound coming from the receiver of the mobile phone, Xiao Zihan couldn't tell what he was feeling.

Sure enough, after a few minutes, Zhao Suizhi called.

"Xiao Han, your father just said that you are looking for me?" Zhao Suizhi sounded in a good mood, "Didn't we all decide on that invitation?"

"I'm still a little tangled, hey." Xiao Zihan turned off the car and got out, and went home step by step, looking at the brightly lit villa, his heart was filled with sadness, "Mom, what are you doing now?"

Zhao Suizhi paused, and then said: "I didn't do anything, I plan to blow dry my hair later, pack up and go to sleep, it's getting late at this time, and you, you are still outside right now."

"No..." Xiao Zihan pressed his mobile phone tightly to his ear, did not speak, gestured for the nanny not to speak, and walked not far behind Zhao Suizhi, "I came to see you."

Zhao Suizhi turned his head when he heard Xiao Zihan's voice, his face was full of shock.

Xiao Zihan slowly lowered his hand pinching the phone, looked at Zhao Suizhi's hair that wasn't damp at all, and smiled wryly.

The moment he called his father, he vaguely guessed something.

Some things, if you don't think about it, you won't find the clues.He has always taken it for granted that his parents are happy and in love with each other, but he has never thought that maybe this happiness is for him to see.

Or he was kept in the dark from beginning to end.

"Xiaohan... why, why did you come here suddenly." Zhao Suizhi's usually elegant and restrained face showed panic for the first time, an unprecedented panic.

Xiao Zihan smiled awkwardly, and asked Zhao Suizhi, "Mom, you just told me that you will blow your hair later, are you kidding me?"

Zhao Suizhi was not sure why his son appeared suddenly, and he was also not sure what his son was trying to do, so he had to lie as much as possible, "This... I was wrong just now, I was going to wash my hair and pack up. sleeping."

"That's it." Xiao Zihan lowered his eyes, not daring to look at his mother's concealed eyes, which contained too many things he didn't want to see.

"Oh, what are you doing standing up, come and sit down quickly." Zhao Suizhi pulled Xiao Zihan to sit down, "Come here so late, have you eaten yet?"

Xiao Zihan nodded, "Eat."

"Oh, then you're here, where is Tang Xuan?"

"Tang Xuan is at home, I'll go back later."

"..."

Silence, embarrassment.

Faced with such a mother who was trying to hide it, Xiao Zihan suddenly couldn't ask all the questions. He suppressed all the turbulent emotions, and asked Zhao Suizhi with a smile, "Mom, where is Dad, isn't he at home?"

"Ah... He, he has a dinner tonight. He has an appointment with your uncles. He may play mahjong after the end. I don't know when he will come back."

Those who lie are not only fathers, but also mothers.

Zhao Suizhi saw Xiao Zihan's face change again and again, afraid of revealing something, asked nervously: "What's the matter? Do you have something to do with your father?"

"...No, it's okay." Xiao Zihan shrugged, "I just want to ask about the invitation, I can't make up my mind."

"Really?" Zhao Suizhi obviously didn't believe it.

Xiao Zihan gritted his teeth, the original question came to his lips, and everything changed, "Actually, I miss you, Mom, and I'm getting married soon, so I can't bear to part with you."

Zhao Suizhi's eyes turned red instantly, she sniffed, and fondled Xiao Zihan's hair, "Silly boy."

"Mom..." Xiao Zihan closed his eyes and hugged Zhao Suizhi.

"Silly boy, what a silly boy, hey." Zhao Suizhi also hugged Xiao Zihan tightly, repeating the word "silly boy" over and over again.

After a while, the two separated.

When we parted, there were tears on each other's faces.

Zhao Suizhi was also reluctant to part with Xiao Zihan, and Xiao Zihan was because he loved his mother.

Distressed at this moment, but still hiding from mother for father.

"Okay, don't cry." Zhao Suizhi wiped away the tears from Xiao Zihan's face, "They are all big men who are going to start a family, why are you still so childish?"

Xiao Zihan pursed his mouth and said coquettishly: "With my mother, I will always be a child."

Zhao Suizhi's tears welled up again, she couldn't help hugging Xiao Zihan again, patted Xiao Zihan's back lightly, and said with emotion: "Yes, you will always be mother's child, mother's good child, mother will always Love you and protect you."

"Mom..." The words were the same as usual, but Xiao Zihan heard more and deeper meanings.

"When you get married, you should treat Tang Xuan well, you know?"

"Yes, I know." Thinking of Xiao Yu, Xiao Zihan bit his lips tightly, "I will definitely not let Tang Xuan down."

Zhao Suizhi smiled gratifiedly, "That's good, mom trusts you."

……

In the end, Xiao Zihan didn't ask Zhao Suizhi about Xiao Yu, he didn't even mention it, he flirted with Zhao Suizhi for a while, and after saying something in his heart, he left the Xiao family.

He knew that he couldn't say anything for the time being.

Xiao Zihan is extremely gentle to the person he truly loves.If this kind of thing falls on someone else, they must vent first, ask questions first, and curse first.But Xiao Zihan was not like this. The first thing Xiao Zihan considered was his mother's feelings.

Seeing her evasive look, she must know, but why didn't she say it?It must be because there is no way to tell.

Sitting in the car, Xiao Zihan clenched his fists tightly.

In this matter, he had to start with Xiao Yu.

Although it can be basically concluded that Xiao Yu is his father's illegitimate son, Xiao Zihan also decided to keep quiet and get the DNA test report first, and then proceed step by step.

He must figure out this matter, and on this basis, minimize the harm to his mother.

No matter how this matter develops, he can't hurt his mother.

This person who has been swallowing his anger and protecting him.

At this moment, Xiao Zihan was full of hatred for his father Xiao Mingyuan.He gritted his teeth angrily when he thought of his father's high-sounding rhetoric and his gentleness towards his mother who acted in front of him.

Why, why is father such a person!

No wonder his mother always taught him that he must be responsible to the one he loves, he must not disappoint the one he loves, and he must be loyal to love.

It turned out that this was the reason.

Xiao Zihan leaned heavily on the back of the chair and closed his eyes.

A ding sound came from the phone, Xiao Zihan touched the phone and opened the text message.

The text message was from Tang Xuan, asking when he would be home.

Family?
Yes, he has his own home now too.

Xiao Zihan's heart instantly warmed up.He shook his fingers, turned back a horse, then started the engine and drove home.

After Tang Xuan got home, she was anxious all the time. She took a shower, dried her hair, and finished all the things that should be done. She cleaned the house inside and out.

Seeing that the hour hand turned to ten, Xiao Zihan still had no news.

She couldn't bear it anymore and texted Xiao Zihan back.

Originally, she thought that Xiao Zihan should still be worrying about Xiao Yu's affairs at this meeting, so he would either not reply to her, or tell her that he would not come back tonight.

But what Tang Xuan didn't expect was that Xiao Zihan said that he would go home immediately.

Tang Xuan's face was filled with a smile.

She guessed that Xiao Zihan was so angry and sad that he probably hadn't eaten, so she immediately put down her phone, went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and turned on natural gas to boil water.

After the water boiled, Tang Xuan put the noodles in and began to chop side dishes.

Before the noodles were cooked, Xiao Zihan came back.

"You're back." Tang Xuan greeted her warmly, pretending to be unhappy and complaining, "Why are you back so late?"

Xiao Zihan replied half-truthfully, "I met that guy Jinyu, he dragged me around for a while, and just let me go back."

"Cai Jinyu? Didn't he have a new girlfriend? Why is he still pulling you around?" Tang Xuan said, squatting down and putting the slippers in front of Xiao Zihan.

"That guy has that kind of virtue, you know." Xiao Zihan pulled Cai Jinyu on his back without any psychological burden, and glanced at the lit kitchen, "Are you cooking?"

Tang Xuan hummed, and went back to the kitchen. After washing her hands, she continued to chop vegetables, "I accidentally fell asleep when I came back from get off work today. I just woke up. I'm hungry, and I plan to eat next time. How about you, have you eaten yet?" ?”

Xiao Zihan wanted to say that he had eaten, but smelling the aroma of noodles, he really felt hungry.Hearing that Tang Xuan didn't eat, he didn't try to be brave any more, and said honestly, "No, give me some too."

"Okay." Tang Xuan snorted unhappily, "That guy Cai Jinyu is really serious. He dragged you out and didn't let you eat. Next time he comes to our house, I won't cook for him."

Xiao Zihan's originally extremely heavy mood was relieved by Tang Xuan's ridicule, and he followed suit, "You shouldn't have cooked for that guy, but you're addicted to it, and you're calling out every day to come .”

Tang Xuan smiled slightly, "Go and wash your hands, the meal will be ready soon."

"Hey, okay." Xiao Zihan responded and went into the bathroom.Turning on the faucet and looking at himself in the mirror, Xiao Zihan swore to himself that he would treat Tang Xuan well in his life.

In this life, he must be responsible for this woman who cooks for him and cares about him.
