my kind of person
Chapter 31
On the seats for two in the hot pot restaurant, the mandarin duck pot was bubbling with bubbles, and the cooked beef had faded and was rolling in the pot.
Xie Zixin never took the initiative to start a topic, Xiao Yi always talked to him casually, and he just agreed.
It was almost time for evening self-study after eating, Xiao Yi had to go back to school first, so he said to Xie Zixin: "I'll go back to evening self-study first, you eat slowly, my aunt said that your assessment results will come out within ten days , don't worry too much, it will be fine."
Xie Zixin nodded.
Xiao Yi: "After school starts, you can find anything about your study and life..."
"Xiao Yi."
Xie Zixin interrupted him, and said quietly: "Whether I can pass the exam or not, I don't need to bother you after this. I am really grateful to you and Aunt Xiao for helping me during this time. You arrived last month I have calculated all the things my family bought for me, and the money from the barber shop last time, and I will transfer them to you together."
When Xie Zixin uttered the first sentence, Xiao Yi understood the purpose of his words.
Xie Zixin wanted to make a clean break with him.
Although Xiao Yi had a premonition that he might be like this, what he didn't expect was that Xie Zixin could be so ruthless. He didn't want to be friends with him at all, and he had to settle every dollar with him. He might even hope that even if they Will go to the same school, and never contact again.
Xiao Yi's heart fell to the bottom of the valley, he was puzzled, how many uncontrollable partings had Xie Zixin experienced in the past, to be able to say these words so resolutely, his expression was so calm, and he tried hard to pretend that it was not painful, but from him From the tight hands and the eyes that don't look at himself, you can see the reluctance in his heart.
Xie Zixin is still like this, as always, he never thinks about himself, he just regards himself as Xiao Yi's trouble, and desperately wants to pull himself out of his life.
However, Xiao Yi was also sad, even angry, thinking that everything he had done to help Xie Zixin out of his own will had become futile.
"So you agreed to have hot pot with me today just to say these things?" Xiao Yi said coldly, "Are you serious?"
Xie Zixin seemed startled by Xiao Yi's voice, his lips parted slightly, and finally he said in a low voice, "En."
The fire in Xiao Yi's heart "噗" came up, and the wooden chopsticks in his hand were almost broken by him.He claims to be a good-tempered person, and Xie Zixin can make him stretch out with a few words, so he is really capable.
Xiao Yi still can't figure out how he feels about Xie Zixin, this anger cannot be directed at Xie Zixin.He has beaten Xie Zixin several times. Although it was not from the heart, Xie Zixin's sad eyes are always like knives in front of his eyes.
Xiao Yi didn't have an attack in the end, he stood up, his eyes were very cold: "It's up to you."
Xiao Yi didn't look at Xie Zixin's face again, turned around and left the hotpot restaurant.
After Xiao Yi left, Xie Zixin slowly ate the food left in the pot. After eating, he looked at the bill on the table, calculated the money after AA, plus the money for shopping and hair dyeing before, and gave it to Xiao Yi The account was transferred.
After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Xie Zixin went home directly.
He took a shower early, changed the clothes that smelled of hot pot, and put them into the washing machine together with the clothes he changed two days ago. Then he turned on the TV and sat on the sofa for an hour, waiting for the washing machine to wash the clothes good.
After washing the clothes, Xie Zixin carried the basin to the small balcony to dry the clothes.
The wind was very strong tonight. Xie Zixin heard the rustling of the clothes hanging on the balcony upstairs and downstairs. He unfolded the clothes and hung them on the hangers. His eyes suddenly itched. Go in and go in.
Xie Zixin's eyes were sensitive, and tears would flow when he felt a foreign body sensation. He frowned and rubbed gently. After rubbing for a long time, he didn't get the dirt out, and tears flowed out uncomfortably.
He put down his things and walked into the bathroom, rinsed with cold water, and tried to blink again. The foreign body sensation seemed to disappear, but his eyes were still a little red.
However, the tears still didn't stop, as if they finally found an excuse by external force, they could finally flow out without any scruples.
Xie Zixin lowered his head, tears fell drop by drop into the sink, he reached out to wipe, but still wiped more and more, until he felt a convulsive pain in his dull chest.
He has no right to feel happy or sad because of Xiao Yi, let alone shed tears because he forced himself not to contact him anymore.
Even though Xiao Yi still worries about him and gets angry for him now, as long as the contact fades away, Xiao Yi will gradually forget him in a short time.
From a long time ago, Xie Zixin understood that some things, no matter how hard he squeezed his palms to grasp, would be futile, like sincere friendship, a mother who loved him deeply, and his vain love.
It's okay, it'll pass, just like it never did.
At this moment, the mobile phone on the coffee table rang suddenly. Xie Zixin wiped his eyes, came to the living room, and picked up the mobile phone.
It was a WeChat call, and the caller was Xie Mingkuan.
After seeing the caller clearly, Xie Zixin was taken aback for a moment, then slowly frowned.
Since Xie Mingkuan left last time, he has never contacted Xie Zixin during this period. Xie Zixin accepted the 8000 yuan he gave, but kept it there and did not tell his aunt and father about finding him again.
After a long time, Xie Zixin picked it up.
"Xiaoxin," Xie Mingkuan said, "it's me, Dad, what are you doing, didn't I bother you?"
"dry clothes."
Xie Mingkuan agreed, and exchanged casual greetings with him, as if he really just called to ask about his recent situation. Xie Zixin's response was calm and unwavering, as if he was talking to a stranger.
"By the way, Xiao Xin, I'm going on a business trip to the old town next Sunday to meet a client." Xie Mingkuan said, "Are you free that day? Dad will take you to have dinner. When I see you that day, you I've lost a lot of weight, so I should eat well."
Xie Zixin was silent and did not answer for a while.
Xie Mingkuan was also silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice was a bit painful and hoarse: "Xiao Xin, it's like this, last week you had a distant uncle who passed away, so I went back to my hometown. Your uncle is in the countryside of your hometown. There is a small one-story house over there. When you were in primary school, you took you to live there for a week. I don’t know if you remember it, but you even took pictures. I helped my family tidy up the house, and I found the place where you and your mother stayed at that time. I haven’t lost the photo there, I think you miss your mother a lot, so I brought it back, I plan to find a chance to give it to you, if you don’t have time to take it, I’ll take a photo and send it to you.”
Xie Zixin moved slightly in his heart, and finally replied: "I have time that day, please give me the photo."
Xie Mingkuan's voice eased a little: "Okay, then I will pick you up at Linshui Road, around 05:30, do you have anything to eat?"
Xie Zixin: "Anything is fine."
Xie Mingkuan then said that he would find a good restaurant and let Xie Zixin rest early, and then ended the call.
Xie Mingkuan seemed to have indeed started to try to be a qualified father in front of Xie Zixin, but it was too late, even if it was earlier, Xie Zixin might not be as calm as he is now.
In the past, he had lost his hopes too many times. Disappointment was the normal state of his young life. Even if Xie Mingkuan repays him a hundred times from now on, the most Xie Zixin can do is to treat him as a stranger.
On Sunday afternoon, Xie Zixin received a call from Xie Mingkuan early on. Xie Mingkuan said that his business trip ended sooner than expected, so he could come here earlier and take Xie Zixin out to the mall to buy what he wanted.
Xie Zixin really wanted to add some daily necessities to the house, and Xie Zixin agreed. He met Xie Mingkuan again at Linshui intersection, probably because he was on a business trip, and Xie Mingkuan was dressed quite formally today.
Seeing Xie Zixin, Xie Mingkuan said: "Xiaoxin, you have newly dyed your hair, it's ok, it's very pretty, children of your age should learn to tidy up more."
Xie Mingkuan drove the white Honda from last time, and Xie Zixin sat in the back seat. Xie Mingkuan took out the photo from the glove box in the front seat and handed it to him.
In the photo, Chen Yun hugged Xie Zixin, who was only seven or eight years old, and smiled happily while looking at the camera. That smile did not contain the forbearance and pain of torture, but pure joy, which made Xie Zixin's eyes slightly hot.
Xie Zixin took the photo and was fascinated by it. He couldn't help stretching out his fingers to touch his mother's face. In his memory, his mother had always looked young and gentle.
Xie Mingkuan drove to a shopping center in the city center, and took Xie Zixin to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities and ingredients.There are several floors of the shopping center dedicated to shoes, hats and clothing stores. Xie Mingkuan asked Xie Zixin to go shopping as well, to see if there is anything he likes, and he can buy it.
Xie Zixin doesn't have any special preferences for clothes and shoes. In his opinion, it is enough to wear them comfortably. The pair of red canvas shoes on his feet were given to him by his aunt on his birthday last year. Although they are very common and cheap, they are comfortable to wear Very comfortable.
After shopping around, Xie Mingkuan helped him choose a set of summer clothes and a set of autumn clothes, as well as a pair of sneakers and new canvas shoes, all of which are brands and styles that boys of his age often wear.
When trying on clothes, Xie Mingkuan saw that the styles and sizes were suitable, so Xie Zixin didn't need to change them back, just put on new clothes, and packed up the old clothes and shoes.
The top of the new clothes is a casual white T-shirt, and the bottom is a pair of slim black slacks. The clothes and pants are from the same trendy brand, with very unique side zippers.
The trousers were a bit tight, and Xie Zixin preferred looser styles, but the clerk kept praising them for their fit, and Xie Mingkuan was quick to pay, so he didn't bother to try new ones.
After coming out of the shopping mall, it was almost time for dinner. Xie Mingkuan put the big and small bags on the car, and took Xie Zixin directly to the restaurant he had booked in advance.
The car slowly parked in the parking lot of a well-known high-end star-rated hotel in this city. The hotel is magnificent and expensive. There is a famous Japanese restaurant on the second floor.
Xie Zixin has almost never been to such a high-end place, and after getting out of the car, he felt uncomfortable.
Xie Mingkuan led him to the second floor, during which time he answered a phone call. The other end of the phone seemed to be someone like a customer. Xie Mingkuan answered the phone with a warm and polite tone, very attentive.
Moreover, from the lines of Xie Mingkuan's words, Xie Zixin noticed that they seemed to be more than the two of them for dinner today.
"It's a client my father visited on a business trip. He is a very powerful boss who has been taking care of my father's business recently." After hanging up the phone, Xie Mingkuan explained, "This restaurant was recommended by him, and it happens that he is free tonight. Yu Li has to invite him to dinner, Xiao Xin, just be considerate and call Uncle Wang when the time comes."
Xie Zixin felt a little disgusted by the presence of strangers, let alone a business dinner between adults, but since he was here, he could only nod his head.
After taking a seat in the private room of the Japanese grocery store, Xie Mingkuan asked Xie Zixin to look at the menu first, and then went to the bathroom in the private room.
He walked into the bathroom, locked the door, took out his mobile phone, and opened a chat interface with the note "Wang Sheng Wang". There were many messages between them, but most of them were brief.
Xie Mingkuan flipped through the chat history as if to confirm something, and finally stopped at nine o'clock in the evening on the day he saw Xie Zixin last time.
In the chat history of that day, Xie Mingkuan sent a photo to Wang Sheng. The photo was of Xie Zixin when he left that day.
Xie Mingkuan: Mr. Wang, this is my son I mentioned to you earlier
Mr. Wang Sheng Wang: Your wife is very beautiful, right?
Mr. Wang Sheng Wang: My son looks very good-looking
Mr. Wang Sheng Wang: How old are you?
Xie Mingkuan: Turned sixteen
Mr. Wang Sheng Wang: Good
Mr. Wang Sheng Wang: I am free on July 7th, you can arrange it
Xie Mingkuan: Good Mr. Wang
Xie Mingkuan: I will trouble you to take care of me after this
Mr. Wang Sheng Wang: No problem, small matter
Xie Zixin never took the initiative to start a topic, Xiao Yi always talked to him casually, and he just agreed.
It was almost time for evening self-study after eating, Xiao Yi had to go back to school first, so he said to Xie Zixin: "I'll go back to evening self-study first, you eat slowly, my aunt said that your assessment results will come out within ten days , don't worry too much, it will be fine."
