half thorns, half joy

That night, after dinner, several people left one after another.

Although there are enough guest rooms in the Xiao residence, after all, everyone is an adult and has their own nightlife and things to do, so no one stays overnight.

Even Xu Yang, who used to live in Xiao's house, hitched a ride with Cai Jinyu and left.

Of course Cai Jinyu was still reluctant, but Fang Yu took the initiative to invite Xu Yang to get in the car, no matter how reluctant Cai Jinyu was, she would not say a word.

After seeing off the guests, Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan returned to the house.

Because today was a special day, Zhao Suizhi didn't go back to the bedroom early. She sat in the living room and waited for Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan to send the guests into the house before getting up and going upstairs.

In this way, Tang Xuan and Zhao Suizhi inevitably met each other. Zhao Suizhi moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he still didn't say anything.

Seeing Zhao Suizhi return to the bedroom and the bedroom door shut, Tang Xuan's tense nerves relaxed for a moment.

"It's been a day of tossing around today, you're tired, let's go, take a bath and rest." Xiao Zihan squeezed Tang Xuan's shoulder and said with concern.

Tang Xuan nodded and hummed lightly.

At this time, Xiao Yuebai and the baby had both fallen asleep, and the nannies were cleaning up the mess after the daytime party. The house that had been bustling all day suddenly became quiet, just like the night outside, making people drowsy.

Tang Xuan took a shower and went to bed. She thought she had something on her mind, but she struggled for a while before falling asleep. Unexpectedly, she fell asleep within a few minutes after lying down.

A night without dreams.

When Tang Xuan opened her eyes the next day, the quilt around her was already empty.

She changed into home clothes and went downstairs to have breakfast. Xiao Zihan was also at the dining table, but because he was neatly dressed, he even tied his tie.

"Going to work so early today?" Tang Xuan asked as she sat down on a chair.

Xiao Zihan put down the tablet in his hand, reached out to shake Tang Xuan's hand, and explained gently: "There is a meeting this morning, I will go over to check the materials in advance, and the company has some big decisions to make recently, I have to keep an eye on them. .”

Tang Xuan nodded half understanding, "Okay, but don't work too hard."

"I know, I'll come home on time for dinner." Xiao Zihan finished his breakfast, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, leaned over and kissed Tang Xuan's mouth, and then got up and left the restaurant.

Tang Xuan was having breakfast, Zhao Suizhi also came in from the dining room with the help of the nanny, his eyes met, Tang Xuan felt a sting in her throat.

After Xiao Yuebai's birthday yesterday, she felt that the relationship between her and Zhao Suizhi couldn't go on like this anymore.

It's okay for her to feel uncomfortable, the problem is that the child also feels uncomfortable in his eyes.

The wish that Xiaoyue Bai made yesterday really stimulated Tang Xuan.

"...Morning." Tang Xuan's chest swelled for a while, finally made up her mind, and said a word to Zhao Suizhi.

Zhao Suizhi was startled at first, and then a look of joy flashed across his eyes.

"Morning." After she finished speaking, she was helped by the nanny to walk over and sat on the dining table.

Obviously this is the house where Zhao Suizhi has lived for many years, strictly speaking Zhao Suizhi is the hostess here, but at this moment, Zhao Suizhi is like a guest, he doesn't know where to put his hands and feet, his face There is also a slightly flattered expression on the face.

It's just that Tang Xuan only said the word "morning" and there was no other reaction.

She lowered her head, quickly finished the porridge in the bowl, left the restaurant with stiff steps, and went upstairs to see the two children.

Even so, the corners of Zhao Suizhi's mouth were still slightly upturned, and he seemed to be in a better mood.

Tang Xuan was not the only one who loved the two children, Zhao Suizhi was the same. Hearing Xiaoyue Baixu's birthday wish yesterday, Zhao Suizhi only felt that his heart was hurting, it was more painful than someone gouging out flesh with a knife.

She didn't sleep well last night, and she was always in a state of self-blame. She sighed all night, turned over all night, and kept blaming herself.

So, I got up a little late this morning.

From the looks of it now, Tang Xuan probably also felt bad about Xiao Yuebai's birthday wish yesterday, so she took the initiative to greet her.

As the saying goes, children are the bond between husband and wife. It seems that in the Xiao family, children are the bond between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Conflicts between adults cannot be resolved, that is the business of adults, for the sake of children, no matter what, we must act harmoniously.

On this point, it can be said that Zhao Suizhi and Tang Xuan have the same views.

……

In this way, another period of time passed, and at the end of September, autumn entered.

The life of the Xiao family seemed to be the same as before, returning to the normal track.

Xiao Zihan goes to work in the company every day, and occasionally gives himself a vacation to eat and have fun with his family.

Tang Xuan stayed at home, spending half of her time with her two children, and the other half of her time busying herself with her career.

She has made new progress in her career recently, and several formal and well-known charitable organizations are contacting her, wanting to cooperate with her to promote several activities together.

As for Zhao Suizhi, her previous fall injury has basically healed, but her life has not changed much. She spends most of the time with her two children every day.

The doctor said that her depression has been effectively relieved, but it is still mild, and she needs to continue to take medicine and need someone to watch her.

It's just that the relationship between Tang Xuan and Zhao Suizhi still hasn't made any progress. In front of the two children, they would chat with each other with a smile, say hello, and ask each other to eat.But when they are alone together, they can hardly say a word.

The standard face does not match the heart.

However, if this is the case, in Xiao Zihan's view, it is already very rare. He has sighed in front of Cai Jinyu more than once that life is impermanent, and the world is impermanent.After all, after learning that his father had killed Tang Xuan's parents, Xiao Zihan had long been prepared for Tang Xuan's departure.

He even felt that even if Tang Xuan killed him to avenge his parents, it would be reasonable.

But Tang Xuan didn't do that. Even though Tang Xuan didn't let go of her hatred and didn't intend to forgive Zhao Suizhi at all, judging from Tang Xuan's willingness to create a peaceful atmosphere for the sake of the two children, Tang Xuan did, It's good enough.

Sometimes, people don't have to have no grievances between people. They have to say everything clearly, and don't plan to forgive or take revenge. Let's just go on like this. This is Tang Xuan's current state.

Originally, this state would continue until the children grew up, until decades passed, until time made everything inexplicable.

If there are no accidents.

If Xiao Zihan hadn't gone to the office early that morning, if the baby hadn't suddenly developed a high fever, Zhao Suizhi and Tang Xuan hadn't taken him to the hospital together, and Xiao Yuebai hadn't followed...

As long as any one of them is missing, the accident will not happen.

But life is full of accidents one after another, and there are no ifs.

Tang Xuan will always remember that it was Monday, and she slept well the night before, so she woke up at the same time as Xiao Zihan in the morning. After breakfast, Xiao Zihan went to the company, and she also decided to see the new recruit Charity profile, decided no problem to start working together.

However, not long after she arrived in the bedroom, before she finished reading the stack of materials, the nanny knocked on the door in a hurry, saying that the baby suddenly started to vomit after waking up in the morning. She had just taken her temperature, and it was 38 degrees five, and she already had a fever.

"Did you call the doctor?" Tang Xuan quickly put down the computer, put on her slippers and walked outside, asking as she walked.

The nanny shook her head, "The doctor has something to do in his hometown. He went home last night and came back this afternoon."

Tang Xuan frowned after hearing this, and walked quickly into the baby's room. The baby lying in the crib had a flushed face, and her fists were tightly clenched, looking very uncomfortable.Next to it, another nanny was carrying a small basket of emergency medicine prescribed by the doctor earlier, and was anxious and didn't know what to do.

"You didn't give the baby medicine, did you?" Tang Xuan asked.

"No, the doctor didn't get through on the phone, so we dare not give the baby medicine casually."

Tang Xuan touched the baby's forehead, and immediately said, "Don't dawdle, ask the driver to prepare. I'll take the baby to the hospital."

"Yes." The nanny ran out hastily.

Tang Xuan wrapped the baby in a blanket and picked up the baby. Before she could walk over, Zhao Suizhi stumbled in.

She was obviously washing up, her hair was all messed up, and she hadn't taken care of it. "What's the matter, the baby is sick?"

In this situation, Tang Xuan could no longer keep silent.

She replied concisely: "The baby seems to have a fever, and the doctor can't be reached. I plan to take the baby to the hospital."

Zhao Suizhi was stunned for two seconds, then nodded in agreement, "Then hurry up and go to the hospital, and I will go too."

Tang Xuan originally said that she didn't want Zhao Suizhi to go with her, but Zhao Suizhi was the baby's grandmother after all, and she had always been very careful. Now that the baby was sick, it seemed inappropriate not to let her go to the hospital with her.

After all, she was going out. Tang Xuan went back to her bedroom and quickly changed into a set of casual clothes before heading out to get in the car.

After getting in the car, she was shocked to find that Xiao Yuebai was also in the car, sitting beside Zhao Suizhi, with one hand uneasily grabbing Zhao Suizhi's sleeve.

Seeing her looking over, as if guessing what she was going to say, Xiao Yuebai took the lead and said: "Mom, I'm worried about my brother, I want to go together. Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for you and grandma."

Hearing what her baby said, Tang Xuan didn't want to drive the baby out of the car, so she could only reluctantly say to the driver, "Then let's go."

On the way to the hospital, Tang Xuan called Xiao Zihan.She knew that Xiao Zihan was supposed to be having an important meeting at this time, and she just wanted to try her luck and tell Xiao Zihan the situation on this side of the phone.

Sure enough, Xiao Zihan's phone was busy and he couldn't get through.

At this time, Zhao Suizhi spoke.

Seeing Tang Xuan's anxious face, she comforted her, "Don't worry, it's just a common fever, go get an injection and drink some medicine, and you should be fine."

"...Mmm." It was useless to worry, Tang Xuan could only sigh lightly.

For some unknown reason, she suddenly felt extremely flustered. It had been a long time since she felt this feeling. A gloomy atmosphere enveloped her. She couldn't explain why, but she just couldn't get rid of it.

It was a bad premonition that made her very uncomfortable.

Perhaps it's because of the superimposition of coincidences. Tang Xuan doesn't like coincidences. Every time there is a coincidence, something bad will always happen.

As things went on like this, Tang Xuan had a stress reaction.

She closed her eyes and prayed silently in her heart, this time it should be just an illusion, it's okay, it's okay.
