little thing about marriage

Before Xin Rong was discovered, she retreated into the staff corridor, leaned against the wall to calm down, and then returned to the playground.

The whole afternoon, the children at the birthday party played like crazy. Before being taken away by their parents, every child came to hug Tangtang.Seeing a bunch of three- and five-year-old cubs huddled together, the parents on the side were very happy.

Xin Rong and Tang Tang were the last to leave.Holding the child in one hand and a big bag of birthday presents in the other, Xin Rong hailed a car to go home.

After getting in the car, Tangtang hadn't recovered from the excitement, her little face was blushing, she leaned on Xin Rong, and asked him, "Brother, are you tired? Are you happy?"

Xin Rong scratched her loose hair and said, "Happy."

"The birthday cake is delicious, and it's my favorite strawberry sandwich." Tangtang rubbed her arms into Xin Rong's arms as she spoke, feeling a little unsatisfied.

Xin Rong laughed at her, "Let's take home the remaining half of the cake, you can still eat it tomorrow."

Tangtang raised her head again, and continued to recall her birthday party, "Today there is a big bear, brother, do you remember? It looks like the one on your bedside table."

Xin Rong was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, it was bought by my uncle."

Since breaking up with Shao Chengyun, Xin Rong hardly mentioned him in front of Tangtang.

It's not that I'm avoiding it deliberately, but I just don't know how to explain it to my children.Tangtang is also smart and sensible, Xin Rong doesn't mention the big villa they used to live in and the owner of the villa, and she rarely mentions "uncle".

Tangtang's voice suddenly became softer, and she lowered her head, saying, "... I miss Uncle a little bit."

Xin Rong looked at the little hair spinner on top of her head, and said nothing.

The night I left the villa was in a hurry, and there were only a few things I could take with me.Xin Rong basically kept all the presents that Shao Chengyun bought, except for the Winnie the Pooh and a set of board games the size of poker cards that he bought at Disneyland in France.

These two things represent the sweetest memories of that relationship.Xin Rong kept them as a souvenir.

Winnie the Pooh is always on the bedside table in his bedroom.Sometimes Tangtang would hug and play for a while, and would put it back for Xin Rong thoughtfully when it was over.

Tangtang has enough dolls, and there is no shortage of this bear.Occasionally, she would say to Xin Rong, "So my brother also has a sleeping toy, I know, it's a bear."

Xin Rong couldn't deny it, so she could only smile helplessly and let her speak.

Originally, before seeing the real body of Winnie the Pooh, Xin Rong planned to send a message to Shao Chengyun to say thank you after the birthday party.

After all, it is true that children have fun, even if the relationship between them is not the same as before, it is still polite.

But now seeing Shao Chengyun resting with his head down in the backyard of the playground, Xin Rong was a little confused.That night, I picked up the phone several times to send a thank you without pain, but finally put it down again.

He knew that Shao Chengyun didn't want him to find out about this, he just did it silently in private.But sometimes it is like this, and the truth that is inadvertently broken is the most poignant.

Shao Chengyun taught him the routines before, but Xin Rong could still be tense and indifferent.He is indeed not the person who had never even been in love a year ago, and he has a clear understanding of the relationship itself.

But now Shao Chengyun doesn't come up with any tricks, he just does some small things seriously, and he doesn't even want to let Xin Rong know.This made it difficult for Xin Rong to resist.

After the birthday party was two weekends, Xin Rong went to Haoli to work overtime for a half-day, and stayed at home with Tangtang for the rest of the time, and never contacted Shao Chengyun.

On Monday night, he sent a photo to Shao Chengyun's mobile number, which was a snapshot of Tangtang blowing birthday candles in the playground.

Within a few minutes, Shao Chengyun replied to him: "It's a very good shot, very cute." ——I didn’t reveal at all what I meant by being there.

Then Xin Rong asked straight to the point: Are you free recently?I want to meet you.

Shao Chengyun returned quickly: If you are free, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will do.

The second young master of the Shao family may not really be free, but with Xin Rong he must be.

Before Xin Rong could reply to the message, Shao Chengyun directly called.

is his style.Shao Chengyun seldom sent more than three messages with someone, since they all said they were going to meet, it was more convenient to talk directly.

Xin Rong picked it up, and Shao Chengyun asked him where he wanted to meet.

Xin Rong didn't have those meandering things, saying that you are usually busy, so why don't I go find you.

Shao Chengyun paused for a moment, then his voice slowed down, and he said, "I was a little flustered when you came to me so suddenly."

Xin Rong's tone was still calm, "I want to chat with you."

Shao Chengyun didn't ask him what the matter was, as long as we could meet each other.He also wanted to see Xin Rong.Talking in person is always better than talking on the phone.

So the two made an appointment to meet after Xin Rong got off work the next afternoon.This time it is not in the remote parking lot at the side entrance of the hotel, but in the cafe on the second floor of Haoli.

Xin Rong said that he would invite Shao Chengyun to have a cup of coffee, and Shao Chengyun agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Shao Chengyun threw the phone on the desk, stood up and walked to the window.

The windows are double-layered. He opened the inner layer and left the outer screen to let the night breeze in.

There was a pack of cigarettes on the window frame, and the lighter was also there.Shao Chengyun has been in the habit of smoking a bit recently, and occasionally smokes one or two at night.

He himself knew it was inappropriate, but smoking would divert his attention when he was upset.

What would Xin Rong say?

Shao Chengyun didn't have much clue, and he could vaguely guess something.Certainly not that they can get back together.

Breaking up is a matter of character.

Xin Rong is so young and handles it so maturely. He seems to have a sense of what to say in person and what not to say.

Shao Chengyun felt that he had grown too much, and he didn't look at the youthful and sensitive look on the cruise a year ago at all.

Of course, Shao Chengyun has to bear a lot of responsibility here, but at the same time, he also admitted that he was really tempted this time.

Maybe he had feelings for Xin Rong as early as on the cruise ship. Signing an agreement at the request of his elders was actually an excuse. Shao Chengyun was never the kind of person who would obey his family's arrangements. In essence, he wanted to keep Xin Rong.

After the breakup, Shao Chengyun found himself flustered and confused, restless all day long.Every time Xin Rong told him that he had an appointment, even if Shao Chengyun knew it was an excuse, he still felt the same.

There is no other explanation, just jealousy.Air vinegar is also vinegar.

Thinking about the various things that happened in the two months before Xin Rong left, Shao Chengyun himself was rude and unreasonable.But just now the two of them were able to talk calmly on the phone, it was all due to Xin Rong's tolerance.

Shao Chengyun thought to himself, at Xin Rong's age, he might not be able to do better than him.He is also in his thirties, so he should take good care of his wife in the future.

The next afternoon, Xin Rong got off work a little late.Shao Chengyun sent him a message, saying that he arrived first and was waiting for him at the booth, and told him not to worry.

On a weekday evening, there were not many customers in the cafe.As soon as Xin Rong entered, she saw the man sitting by the window.

Xin Rong didn't let the waiter take the seat, and walked over by herself.

This was their first formal meeting since they separated.Xin Rong first said sorry for being late.

Shao Chengyun smiled faintly, "Don't be so polite to me, um."

Although she had already made a decision in her heart, Xin Rong still felt her heart beating fast when she saw Shao Chengyun for the first time.Hearing the man's low voice again, Xin Rong unconsciously touched his ear, the voice was too foul.

He took off his coat and sat down, took off his badge and put it aside.

Shao Chengyun asked him, "Is Tangtang in charge?"

Xin Rong nodded, and said "Yes", "The aunt in the same courtyard will take care of me."

Shao Chengyun looked at him, took a sip of water after he sat down, and then calmly and gently persuaded him, "You can't take care of your children like this, too little time and lack of parental companionship, and Tangtang can't grow up well." , isn’t it. Let’s discuss this matter when we have time, and you should take some pressure off your shoulders.”

What Shao Chengyun said are pertinent and true.Xin Rong also knows that her abilities are limited. It is indeed unrealistic for a 22-year-old to take care of a 5-year-old girl.

But with his current relationship with Shao Chengyun, he couldn't talk about children.

He didn't answer the question, but just pushed the menu to Shao Chengyun, "What do you want to drink?"

Shao Chengyun pressed one finger on the list, "I ordered just now, I ordered a cup of hot drink for you, okay?"

Xin Rong didn't pick these things, and said, "Yes, thank you."

Shao Chengyun could tell that Xin Rong was very nervous, and he couldn't bear to see him like this.

Even if he guessed seven or eight percent of what the other party was going to say, it was nothing more than a reason for rejecting himself, and he still didn't want to embarrass him.

So Shao Chengyun found a topic for him to relax, and asked him, "How is work? Are you still used to it?"

Xin Rong said it was okay, and it was relatively easy to do.

Shao Chengyun didn't doubt this point, Xin Rong was capable, but the disadvantage was that his qualifications were still young and restricted.There is always a lot to do in the future.

Later, the waiter served them coffee and tea, and Shao Chengyun also ordered a few snacks, and put them all in front of Xin Rong, asking him to choose a few to eat.

Xin Rong was really forced to do nothing by this warm atmosphere.First he buried his head and smiled, then raised his eyes to look at Shao Chengyun, and asked, "Do you know what I want from you?"

Shao Chengyun put a shrimp on his plate and said, "I probably guessed it."

Xin Rong sighed softly, leaned back in the seat, with complicated eyes, "Then you're still here?"

Shao Chengyun also laughed now, and said, "Come on, I'll definitely come if you let me." Then he interjected, "Eat something first, don't get a stomachache from being hungry."

Xin Rong felt a little lost, and stuffed a piece of shrimp into his mouth.

Shao Chengyun said again, "It's okay, don't worry. We are not short of rejection once or twice. You can say whatever you want, and I will sit here and listen carefully."

This attitude is really no one else.

Xin Rong was afraid that he would come with her.

A person who is usually high on the top always puts his posture so low now.Xin Rong hesitated, and finally called out his name, "Shao Chengyun, I really have many things to thank you for."

"If you hadn't appeared, I would still be just an ordinary employee on the cruise ship, and I wouldn't see opportunities outside." Xin Rong's expression became deeper when she said this.

Nearly three months later, when Shao Chengyun heard him call his name again, his heart ached a little.

When he asked Xin Rong to change his words, Xin Rong chose to call him by his first name.Shao Chengyun suddenly understood now, this kid has a tough bone, he wants an equal relationship, why didn't he figure it out earlier.

"So you don't owe me anything, and you don't have to be so nice to me." Xin Rong put one hand on the table, and rubbed the rim of the warm teacup with her fingertips, "I met you this time to make it clear You make it clear. We are not people from the same world. There may be novelty if the difference is too great, but it is difficult to overcome those obstacles."

"With Mr. Shao's position, I don't have to worry too much. But I have a lot of insecurities, and I don't think about climbing high."

When Xin Rong said this, she paused for a few seconds, and finally lowered her voice, "Please don't contact me again."

After he finished speaking, he stuffed a piece of purple potato cake that Shao Chengyun put on the plate into his mouth, took his badge, and picked up the coat on the back of the chair. He didn't say goodbye, just bowed and left.

Shao Chengyun watched him go all the way to the counter, took out his mobile phone and paid.Finally shook his head helplessly and smiled.

How many times have you been rejected in the past two or three months?Shao Chengyun was too lazy to count.

Xin Rong has broken too many records with him.Even being invited to drink coffee by his ex was the first time in Shao Chengyun's life. In the past, he was always the one who paid for it.

Children are so kind and responsible for themselves.Rejection must be made clear in person.

Shao Chengyun thought to himself, if you chase after him again, you can't let go.This child deserves it, and he is not wronged.
