half thorns, half joy

The room lit up, and he could see clearly the mysterious man who was walking around with him.

That is--

"father!"

Xiao Yuebai looked in disbelief at Xiao Zihan who hadn't had time to go out, her face was full of shock and disbelief, "Dad, why is it you!"

Xiao Zihan was even more shocked than Xiao Yuebai, he never expected that his son was not asleep, but awake!
Oops, it's embarrassing.

Xiao Zihan, who was caught, didn't know how to explain to his son, so he deliberately darkened his face and said seriously: "Go to sleep!"

This time, Xiao Yuebai fully realized it, his eyes were red with anger, and his voice was raised a lot.

"Dad, why are you so bad!"

"What happened last night? It was noisy, what happened?" Zhao Suizhi asked Xiao Zihan at the breakfast table.

Xiao Zihan replied without changing his face: "It's okay."

After hearing this, Xiao Yuebai cut coldly.

He couldn't understand his father's pretending to be nothing, so he turned to Zhao Suizhi and said, "Grandma, dad is a big bastard."

Zhao Suizhi looked surprised, "What? Honey, why are you talking like that?"

After all, the Xiao family is a rich family, and the tutoring of the children is very strict. Before this, Xiao Yuebai had never said such derogatory words as bastard.

This is the first time.

But Xiao Yuebai was not afraid at all, he stared straight at Xiao Zihan, his eyes were full of anger, "Dad, do you think you are a big bastard?"

Xiao Zihan: "..."

This little brat has learned to ask back questions.

Xiao Zihan ate the sandwich on the plate in a few bites, stood up and wiped his hands, opened the chair and touched the top of Xiao Yuebai's head, and said earnestly: "Baby, don't be so narrow-minded, Dad will teach you a lesson today, you have to learn tolerant."

After all, he didn't wait for Xiao Yuebai to fight back, and immediately said: "You guys eat, I'm going to the company."

Then slip away.

The angry Xiao Yuebai took a bite of the sandwich, but there was nothing she could do.

For the scene in front of him, Zhao Suizhi looked at it in a cloud of fog, and didn't understand what happened at all.

But Xiao Yuebai made it clear that she didn't want to talk about it, and Tang Xuan, who seemed to know the truth, had been eating breakfast in silence without raising her head, and Zhao Suizhi was too embarrassed to ask.

There was no other way, Zhao Suizhi could only wait for Tang Xuan to go back to her bedroom after lunch and quietly asked Xiao Yuebai what happened the night before.

At first, Xiao Yuebai was unwilling to say anything, but after Zhao Suizhi exchanged two new comic books, he confessed everything.

After hearing this, Zhao Suizhi was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

She laughed so hard that tears flowed down her cheeks.

Xiao Yuebai thought her grandma was laughing at her, so she blushed, pouted and turned her back to Zhao Suizhi, ignoring others.

"Oh, you father and son are too funny." Zhao Suizhi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, pulled his grandson over, and hugged him into his arms, "Don't be angry baby, grandma is not laughing at you, but at your father .”

"Really?" Xiao Yuebai asked doubtfully.

Zhao Suizhi nodded seriously, "Of course it's true. When did grandma lie to you? After you finished talking, grandma felt that your father was too stupid. How old is he, why is he still playing with you? Kind of a trick."

When Xiao Yuebai said this, Xiao Yuebai's heart was touched, and Xiao Yuebai stomped her feet, "That's right, Dad is so old, he pretends to be serious on the surface, but he is doing such small tricks behind his back, what a shameless old man!"

"I'm not ashamed hahahahaha..." Zhao Suizhi was amused again, "My good grandson, where did you learn these words hahaha..."

Seeing grandma laughing so happily, Xiao Yuebai's mood inexplicably improved, he hadn't seen grandma laugh like this for a long time.

Now, even though he committed a stupidity and was bullied by his father, he is also very happy that this stupid thing can make grandma laugh so happily.

"Grandma, don't tell me, dad is old and not ashamed." Xiao Yuebai grabbed Zhao Suizhi's hand and smiled coquettishly.

Zhao Suizhi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, your father is."

The laughter downstairs did not reach the upstairs. Tang Xuan sat in the bedroom, staring blankly at the flickering computer screen, her mind was in a mess.

The sudden death of her good friend made her understand the fragility and unpredictability of life, and made her think a lot more.

Even though she had seen Huang Tingting's body with her own eyes and personally experienced the cremation of Huang Tingting's body, she still couldn't believe that Huang Tingting had just left.

A living person just disappeared like this.

From then on, I never heard Huang Tingting's voice, never saw Huang Tingting's smiling face, and everything was only memories.

Just thinking about it made Tang Xuan feel very uncomfortable.

She was still young when her parents left, and although she was sad at that time, her feelings were not as rich as they are now, and she didn't lament so much about the impermanence of the world.

In the past few days, she has been asking why, why Huang Tingting took the leap, why she was so decisive.

If you die, there is nothing left.

She also wanted to ask Huang Tingting, did she regret her choice at the moment when she jumped off the ground before the person landed on the ground?

One wrong step, one wrong step, then at the last step, before she died, did she get relief or endless regret?

These questions circled in Tang Xuan's mind, but unfortunately, no one could answer her.

Tang Xuan sighed, clicked on the assistant's small window, and began to discuss this week's manuscript with the assistant. Originally, what she was going to do this week was a public welfare manuscript about interviewing people with disabilities, but now that Huang Tingting's incident happened, Tang Xuan Suddenly wanted to change the topic.

She wants to write an article to discuss how people who have made mistakes should continue to live.

Although people often say that life is worse than death, people often conceitedly think that if something happens to them, they must have some coups and how to overcome difficulties.

But the fact is not always the case. A person's ability to bear is limited. When something really happens, most people can't bear it. At this time, the pressure and oppression caused by the people around him is even more fatal.

Tang Xuan didn't want to appeal to everyone to make mistakes boldly, what Tang Xuan wanted to appeal to was to be the people around us, what should we do when our relatives make mistakes.

It is true that people who are trapped in the mud are hateful, but if those who stand on the shore watch them getting deeper and deeper, and treat each other with all sorts of ridicule, it would be too heartless.

Tang Xuan knew very well that if she wrote this article, she would definitely attract a lot of abuse and criticism because of her position.

But even so, Tang Xuan also wanted to write this article.

A flame was burning in her chest. Before Huang Tingting died, she did nothing. When Huang Tingting was most desperate, she was eating crayfish with Xiao Zihan, talking and laughing. Thinking of this, Tang Xuan blamed herself.

Although Huang Tingting has left and she can't do much anymore, it is her apology to do something for those who are still alive and struggling.
