Old Cannon's Infatuation

Zhang Xuan is actually a bit strange.If you say cowardly, you still have the strength to refuse to admit defeat in your bones; but if you say stubborn, it is easy to soften your heart often.

Just like now, facing Tan Xiaofei's sudden overtures, she struggled all the way, and finally chose to compromise.

It seems that it has been like this since before, she thought a little dejectedly, as long as Tan Xiaofei speaks kindly, it is always difficult for her to refuse him.

The car drove out of the school and headed towards an unfamiliar road.Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Zhang Xuan wasn't too worried about where Tan Xiaofei would take her for dinner.It's just that the place where the car stopped at the end surprised her a little.

Although Tan Xiaofei's car is not as good as that Ferrari Enzo, it is still worth several million.Now, such a supercar stopped at the entrance of a very crowded alley. Zhang Xuan didn't expect it.

"Go in, why are you standing there?" Tan Xiaofei said, walking towards the alley one step ahead of her.

"Where is this? What are you doing here?" Zhang Xuan followed him hesitantly.

"eat."

"Come here for dinner?"

"Well, you'll know when you go in."

After turning a few corners along the alley, I saw an ordinary-looking snack bar.Zhang Xuan was still confused when she sat down, watching Tan Xiaofei greet the boss seemingly very familiarly, ordered food, sat down opposite her, and then took out a tissue to slowly wipe the chopsticks and spoons.

"The rice noodles at their house are delicious." Tan Xiaofei put the cleaned tableware in front of Zhang Xuan, his voice soft.

"Pho?"

"Well. When I first came to Beijing, I searched for a long time and tried many stores. Although this place is small, its taste is the most authentic."

"..."

"When I first came here, I thought that I must bring you here in the future." As if caught in some kind of soft memory, Tan Xiaofei raised his eyes to look at her, and smiled slightly.

As if a light was gently turned on by a hand, Zhang Xuan's heart suddenly brightened.Before she could say anything, two bowls of rice noodles had already been served.Tan Xiaofei urged her to taste it quickly, Zhang Xuan picked a few and ate them into his mouth.In fact, pho is not a special feature of Nanjing, it can be found anywhere in the country, and it is hard to say whether it is authentic or not.But the amazing thing is that the hor fun here really tastes like the one she remembered.

Zhang Xuan always remembers the allusion of pho, after all, it is one of the few warm memories in her barren life.But what she didn't expect was that Tan Xiaofei could remember this inconspicuous little thing for so long.

It was Tan Xiaofei's third year of junior high school. As he was about to enter school, his homework began to increase, and exams became a common occurrence.The Tan family's parents did not reduce their work and come back to accompany their son because he was going to school, so the task of urging Tan Xiaofei to review still fell on Zhang Xuan's head.

On a certain Saturday afternoon, I supervised him to finish all the practice papers, and it was already past six o'clock.According to usual, Zhang Xuan should go back to school.Before leaving, she stood at the door and glanced at him.

Tan Xiaofei sat on the sofa with a blank expression on his face. He didn't turn on the TV and didn't look back at her.The halo of the setting sun shines on his side face through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and he is the only one in the huge house.

Just at this glance, Zhang Xuan stopped in his tracks.Suddenly, her heart sank a little. For some reason, she wanted to pat his head.

"Xiao Fei, what are you having for dinner?" Zhang Xuan walked to the sofa and asked.The nanny is on leave today, and no one will cook for him.

Tan Xiaofei looked up at her who was going back and forth, was stunned for two seconds, and then said: "Order takeaway. Do you want it? I invite you."

Think about it, it would be pitiful if he had no one to eat with him, so just stay with him.Zhang Xuan made up her mind and put down her schoolbag again, "... that's fine too."

"Then what do you want to eat?" Xiao Fei's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he got up immediately to look through the takeaway list.

"I want to eat pho."

"Huh? Don't be ridiculous, okay? I managed to treat you to a meal, but you actually said you want three yuan and five bowls of rice noodles?"

"But I want to eat pho right now."

"It's not on the takeaway list either."

Seeing that he was really looking for every list, Zhang Xuan laughed, took the stack of papers in his hand and put them on the coffee table, "I know that there is a restaurant that is particularly delicious, and it is just behind our school. Would you like to go there?" ?”

"Is it delicious?" Xiaofei said disbelief all over his face.

"It's delicious, come with me."

"Then this meal is yours and mine?"

"I invite you, okay? Let's go." As she spoke, she picked up her bag, pulled Xiaofei and went out.

That night they wandered around the entire snack street behind Nantah University, and Tan Xiaofei also ate the "extremely delicious" rice noodles in Zhang Xuan's mouth.Eating all kinds of snacks, walking on the brightly lit path, chatting and laughing, Tan Xiaofei has never felt like that, he is so happy that he can forget everything.

At that time, Zhang Xuan simply wanted to accompany Tan Xiaofei.Just because the moment he sat in the sunset reminded her of her former self.

If only it could always be the same as it was back then.Zhang Xuan lowered his head and took a mouthful of rice noodles, sighing silently in his heart.

------------

The night fell and the lights came on.The moment Tan Xiaofei parked the car downstairs at Zhang Xuan's house, Tan Xiaofei was really annoyed.

He must be crazy to bring up the agreement with Zhang Xuan to fight the sixth master!

They got on well all afternoon.After eating rice noodles, we visited Beihai Park and went for a drive.Although Zhang Xuan didn't talk much, fortunately he was not as resistant to him as he was at the beginning, and Tan Xiaofei's mood gradually relaxed from being cautious.Originally, he planned to go to a movie or something at night, but it ended up being a phone call from Hou Xiaojie.

When the phone rang, Xiao Fei was driving. He asked Zhang Xuan, "Help me see whose phone number it is."

Zhang Xuan picked up his mobile phone from the windshield, "...it belongs to Xiaojie."

"You press the speakerphone for me, I don't have a headset."

Zhang Xuan did as he said, and Xiaojie's anxious voice came immediately, "Xiao Fei, where are you?"

"Outside, what's wrong?" Tan Xiaofei resumed his lazy voice.

"Hurry up and come back! Uncle Gong didn't know from whom he knew that you were going to fight with Zhang Xiaobo's father, but he was very angry! He said he would come tomorrow and take you back to Canada directly!"

Hearing Hou Xiaojie's rapid-fire voice, Tan Xiaofei immediately changed his expression.Turning to look at Zhang Xuan, her unbelievable eyes have pierced over.

"What's going on?" Zhang Xuan asked in a hoarse voice.

"Hello? Xiao Fei, who are you with? Why do I seem to hear a girl's voice..."

Tan Xiaofei grabbed the phone, said coldly "I'll call you again", then hung up and threw it aside.Turning the steering wheel suddenly, he parked the car firmly on the side of the road and looked at Zhang Xuan.

"Axuan..."

"What's going on?" Zhang Xuan stared at him without blinking, and the previous Wen Jing was swept away.

"..."

"Tell me what it means to 'fight with Zhang Xiaobo's father'!"

Knowing that this matter cannot be concealed at all, Tan Xiaofei was also caught off guard when it was suddenly exposed in front of the two of them.After briefly explaining the ins and outs, looking at Zhang Xuan's pale face, he felt a chill in his heart.

"I want to go back." Zhang Xuan looked at the road ahead and said expressionlessly.

"...Where are you going?"

"The house I rented."

"……it is good."

All the way silent.When the car stopped at the entrance of the building, Zhang Xuan turned around without saying a word and pulled the car door to leave. When she found that the car door was still locked, she turned her head and glared at him angrily, "Let me go."

"Ah Xuan, don't be like this." Tan Xiaofei sighed helplessly.

"I don't want to be with you anymore. Let me down!"

"Didn't it be fine just now?" Xiao Fei also felt aggrieved, "You know the cause and effect, so is it my fault? Because it's your brother and your father, so my car deserves to be destroyed, right? "

These words were powerless to refute, Zhang Xuan stopped breaking the car door, and suddenly fell silent.The chaotic thoughts made her ears buzz, as if her stomach was hurting a little.

"Xiao Fei, what on earth are you thinking..." She lowered her head and scratched her hair, "I really don't understand what you are thinking."

Tan Xiaofei was also silent, opened the skylight, and lit a cigarette.After his anxious mood gradually calmed down, he took a puff of smoke and asked, "If I say, you will be my girlfriend, I will let Zhang Xiaobo go. I don't want the money, and forget about the arguing. Will you?" Will you agree?"

Zhang Xuan was stunned for a few seconds, then laughed, "...have you watched too many TV dramas?"

"..."

"Tan Xiaofei, I won't be with you." In the dark car, she stared at him with eyes like gems, shining brightly, "Even if I don't want the past, just because of Xiaobo, I won't either."

Hearing this sentence, Tan Xiaofei stared blankly at her for a long time, without noticing that the cigarette on his fingertips was slowly burning out.

At this moment, he seemed to suddenly understand why Romeo and Juliet had to die.

Different positions are sometimes scarier than death.

He was really not reconciled to her before, but now he is even more sad for himself.What is meant by "heart like ashes", he finally understood today.Thinking of him, Tan Xiaofei, when was he so mean?

After snuffing out the cigarette, Tan Xiaofei looked away, took out a paper bag from the CD case, and threw it into Zhang Xuan's arms.Then unlocked the car.

"Let's go, and take your one hundred thousand away."

"..."

"As poor as you are, you also want to stand out for others? You should see if your brother and your father accept your favor."

Hearing what he said, Zhang Xuan's face turned red and then pale, and immediately got out of the car and left, but his mood did not become relaxed as expected, but turned into a desolation.

Seeing her leave in a hurry, Tan Xiaofei lit another cigarette and sat alone in the dark, smoking.When he saw that the light was on in her room, he raised his head, stared at the light for a while, and finally started the car.

This is the last time, Tan Xiaofei told himself, in the future, he will not come to her again.

------------

When making the oath, Tan Xiaofei was really disheartened, so he forced himself to make a decision.But unexpectedly, it was broken that night.

In the early hours of the morning, Tan Xiaofei got drunk at a nightclub, and was picked up by his cousin Wen Qian's serial killing calls shortly after drinking.

"Xiao Fei, where are you? Come quickly, something happened to Zhang Xuan!"

Wen Qian's scream was full of tears, and Tan Xiaofei lost most of his drunkenness immediately.He stood up abruptly, grabbed his coat and car keys and walked out, "Cousin, don't worry, tell me clearly what's going on!"

"Xuan'er just called me and said that she had a very bad stomachache and asked me to accompany her to the hospital. But my car was driven away by your brother-in-law, and he hasn't come back after going out to socialize. I heard her voice seemed really good Seriously, I don’t even have the energy to walk out the door. I have no choice but to think of you.”

When the night wind blows on the side of the road, Tan Xiaofei's wine is completely sober.He remembered that Zhang Xuan had a stomach ulcer before.

After hanging up the phone, Tan Xiaofei took out the skills of the [-]th Young Master of the Third Ring Road and rushed all the way back to the community, rushing up the stairs.It took a long time to knock on the door before someone came to open it.

There was a small warm yellow light on inside the door, Zhang Xuan bent over and covered his stomach, his pale face was covered with cold sweat.

Tan Xiaofei felt pain in his heart, and quickly supported her, "Ah Xuan..."

Before the next words were spoken, Zhang Xuan suddenly frowned and coughed a few times, coughing up blood.

For a moment, Tan Xiaofei also turned pale with fright.

What happened after that is a bit blurry in retrospect.Speeding to the hospital, holding Zhang Xuan who was groaning in pain, he rushed all the way to the emergency room, reconciled with Wen Qian, and finally watched Zhang Xuan enter the diagnosis room.It wasn't until Tan Xiaofei sat down on the bench in the corridor of the hospital that he realized that the winter clothes on his body had been soaked in cold sweat.

With his heart still beating violently, he took out a cigarette with slightly trembling hands, but was stopped by Wen Qian.

"Stop smoking, the hospital won't allow it."

He was stunned for a few seconds before he could react.Putting away the cigarette, the scene of Zhang Xuan coughing up blood flashed before Tan Xiaofei's eyes.

"What did the doctor say?" he asked.

"It is said that an examination should be done first to see if there is a gastric perforation before deciding whether to have surgery."

"..."

"It'll be fine. It can be cured. Don't worry." Wen Qian patted him on the back.

Tan Xiaofei fell silent again, the panic, anxiety and remorse he had just endured gradually settled down, he raised his head, and looked at the wall lamp in the examination room, all his worries and heartaches condensed into one sentence in his heart.

"Zhang Xuan, it doesn't matter if you love me or not. As long as you get out of here safely, I will depend on you in everything from now on."
