He didn't want to hurt her like this, but he was even more afraid that she would be so obsessed with it, spend ten or twenty years of youth in vain.

When Shan Shan woke up again, he was already in the hospital. The white ceiling greeted his eyes, and he heard small Chinese communication in his ears. He opened his eyes gently, and there were still two patients lying in the ward, surrounded by family members. Accompanying her, the kind old woman on the right side of the bed saw her open her eyes and looked at her blankly, and smiled kindly at her.
Shan Shan also returned her a smile, she turned her head, looked at the Chinese people in the room, listening to the friendly native language, everything made people feel so familiar and at ease, and suddenly felt relaxed all over her body. When she was in the United States, she always It's because she is very tense, the environment in a foreign land always makes her a little scared, and her different appearance makes her look so out of place. She always looks very kind and friendly in front of foreign friends, for fear of being rejected or bullied.
But here, she doesn't have to worry about these things. This is the first time she knows that she really wants to go back to China.
"Are you awake?" Shan Yi'an walked in from outside the ward, walked to the front and back of her hospital bed, bent down, put his hand on her forehead, wanted to take her temperature, and turned her head away unhappily, not letting him touch it. An was not annoyed, she forcefully pushed aside the bangs on her forehead, put her hand on her forehead, pressed it hard to keep her from moving, and just raised her hand and pushed his hand hard, but it didn't work at all, it could only wrinkle Frown angry.
Shan Yi'an felt it for a while, straightened up and said, "It doesn't seem so hot anymore, get up quickly."
Shan Shan shook off his hand annoyedly: "What are you doing?"
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and go to the lawyer to go through the equity agency procedures." Shan Yi'an urged.
Shan Shan lay still, looked behind him, and asked coldly, "What about him?"
"who?"
Just glared at him: "Shan Yutian."
Shan Yi'an replied, "Waiting for you at the law firm."
Just sighed, a little funny that he still expected him to come to see her, in fact, in his heart, she has long been a non-existent person, even a stain, the stain of abandoning his wife and daughter, crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, her existence Reminding him all the time, what an ungrateful man he is.
The procedures are actually very simple. The lawyer has already prepared two contracts, signed by the two parties, and then go to the court for notarization. The father never said a word to her from the beginning to the end, and he didn't even look at her.
Shan Shan didn't want to talk to him, and pretended to be more indifferent than him, and even more indifferent.
When it was over, his father waved to Shan Yi'an, handed him a key, and said softly, "Take her there."
The key should be the key to the Shan family's old house. The Shan family's old house is in the suburbs of S City. It is ancient and close to the wetland scenic area. It has a large area, but it is damp and dark. Only the yard has bright sunshine.
Before Shan Yi'an came to speak in a hurry, Shan Shan stepped forward, grabbed the key, and said with a sneer, "You don't need to take it, I know the way."
She held the key tightly, turned around and left, and no one behind her made a sound to hold her back, not even a polite word.
Shan Shan straightened his back, walked out step by step, his back was determined, and his steps were crisp, like a soldier rushing to the front line.
When she walked downstairs, she couldn't tell the direction, walked forward with a blank face and her head depressed. When she was tired, she sat down in front of the flower bed by the roadside, lowered her head, and stared blankly at the stones on the road. From time to time, people walked past her, people were coming and going, the sound of cars was noisy, and the bustle was more leisurely and lonely.
She didn't know the way to the old house at all, and she didn't want to go there at all. So what if there were traces of her mother's life there? My house in the United States is full of traces of my mother, and living in it is just a room of sadness and longing.
It's ridiculous to think about it. When I was on the plane, I secretly thought that she had helped him by giving the equity to her father as an agent. How would he react, would he thank her, would he say something apologetic? Woolen cloth
I'm such an idiot, I thought so much, but in the end, people really just asked her to sign an agreement, and she was inferior to strangers, who would shake hands after a happy cooperation.
(two)
Shan Shan found that she didn't feel sad at all, she was used to it, she was used to being treated like this, but she was still a little bit chilled, really just a little bit.
The night was getting later and later, the street lights on the street were turned on in the dark night, the neon lights decorated in the city were colorfully dotted around the city, the temperature was getting lower and lower, she was already frozen, her fever had just subsided The body began to feel uncomfortable again.
She was also hungry, and she only had two $10 bills and some scattered coins in her pockets, and there was no bank to exchange them at this late hour. She was sitting on a strange street, helpless and anxious, and there was only one person who could come to her rescue in her mind.
Shan Shan pursed her lips and finally stood up. Due to too much movement, her frozen body was suddenly pulled away, her painful legs cramped, and the sore feeling made her burst into tears. She bent down and held her hands. After standing on my legs for a long time, I finally regained my strength.
I walked two steps forward, stood on the street, and watched everyone who passed by her. There was a girl who walked alone. She looked very kind. She just walked over and politely asked her to borrow her mobile phone. The girl avoided her defensively and walked away.
Shan Shan tried to find several people in a row, but all failed. In the end, an old man lent her his mobile phone. When Shan Shan took it, he was so moved that he almost cried, and kept saying thank you.
With trembling fingers, she dialed the number that she memorized in her heart. When the phone was being connected, she was really scared, afraid that no one would answer the phone, and afraid that the number had changed.
Fortunately, the phone rang three times, and a crisp, magnetic male voice rang out: "Hello."
Just these two words alone, she couldn't tell if it was him, she opened her eyes wide, and asked cautiously: "Is it... Brother Xiaotian?"
"Single?" Tang Xiaotian on the other end of the phone called out her name accurately.
Shan Shan almost cried in an instant, she tried her best to suppress the sourness in her nose, raised her head, bit her lip, and said pitifully, "Brother Xiaotian, I'm so hungry and cold, can you help me?" Can't... treat me to hot pot."
When Tang Xiaotian heard her asking for help on the phone, his heart almost broke. He quickly agreed, and after asking for the address, he immediately put down what he was doing and drove there.
Shan Shan waited in place for another half an hour before Tang Xiaotian arrived.
When Tang Xiaotian came, it was snowing in the sky, and when he walked in front of Shan Dan, she was wearing a short white down jacket and a short pleated skirt with black and white flowers, squatting by the flower bed, curled up, He lowered his head and buried his whole face in the big red scarf.
Tang Xiaotian walked over and called her name softly: "Shan Shan."
The girl slowly raised her head, her big eyes were still full of tears, her cheeks were pale from the cold, her small lips were tightly pressed, her original student hair had grown a lot, and the long black hair was stuck to the white snow and scattered on the ground. chest.
Just looking at him in a trance, she didn't notice that it had started to snow, and he walked out of the snow and ice again, appearing in front of her like a knight, and for some reason, in front of her, Shan Shan seemed to have changed back into the snow again. The ten-year-old girl was helpless and could only reach out to him for help.
Tang Xiaotian didn't refuse her, he bent down, stretched out his hand to half pull and half hug her, Shan Shan fell into his arms, hugged him tightly with both hands, and pressed his cheek against his broad chest, listening to his familiar and powerful heartbeat , the masculinity on his body instantly drove away the chill on her body.
Shan Shan hugged him tightly and burst into tears.
This crying seemed unstoppable, the longing for him, the struggle in his heart, the unfeelingness of his father, the cruelty of Shan Yi'an, the physical discomfort, everything, all the grievances, excitement, emotions, all in this moment It exploded in an instant.
Tang Xiaotian was frightened by her crying. He knew Shan Shan, who had always been a person who would rather laugh hard than cry, but now that he was crying like this, he must have suffered a lot of grievances. He hurriedly patted Rubbing her back, he said, "Don't cry, don't cry, tell brother, who bullied you?"
Shan Shan shook his head vigorously, crying so hard that he couldn't speak, and it took him a while to fully say: "I'm so sad..."
"What's wrong? Are you sick?" Tang Xiaotian touched Shan Shan's forehead, and the temperature was terribly hot. He quickly pulled her and said, "It's so hot! Follow me to the hospital."
Shan Shan suddenly became very fragile, she looked at Tang Xiaotian pitifully: "I can't walk anymore, my feet are numb."
Tang Xiaotian didn't talk too much, turned around, carried the sheet on his back easily, walked forward with his long legs, walked to the parking lot after a while, and drove to the hospital.
The air conditioner in the car was turned on to the highest level, Shan Shan's cold and stiff body finally regained some consciousness, she leaned on the seat, looked at Tang Xiaotian who was driving beside her, slowly reached out her hand, and gently pulled his clothes, Tang Xiaotian felt her Turning to her tenderly and distressedly, she turned to ask her, "What's wrong? Is it hard? Bear with it, we'll be there soon."
Shan Shan didn't speak, but the hand holding Tang Xiaotian's clothes tightened even more...
She just wanted to pull him and touch him, so that she could feel at ease and truly feel that she saw him again, not in a dream, but for real, Shan Shan couldn't help but smile slightly , just because of this small touch and intimacy, she was satisfied until her whole heart was sweet, and she was so happy that all bad memories and all grievances were forgotten.
In the hospital, after Tang Xiaotian knew the reason for Shan Shan's return, he almost exploded with anger!
Is that human being? Is it a man? Is this how you treat your own sister, your own daughter? Even a strange little girl can't hurt her like this! What's more, it's my own child!
Just holding the fast food box with the IV drip in one hand and delivering food to her mouth with a spoon in the other hand, she has fully recovered, her beautiful eyes are rolling around, watching Tang Xiaotian get angry for her and fight for her injustice.
"You're still laughing, why are you smiling? When you're done, take me to your house and see how I can fix your stepbrother." Tang Xiaotian snorted.
"Okay." Shan Shan nodded with a smile, scooped up a mouthful of rice, and half of it fell off halfway to his mouth. Tang Xiaotian couldn't see it anymore, stepped forward two steps, grabbed the spoon in her hand, and didn't say a word , just fed her spoonful by spoonful. His movements were not gentle, and he fed her very quickly. Before he could swallow it, he scooped it up again.
But even so, Shan Shan still ate happily, and secretly raised his eyes to look at him, and his heart was full of sweetness.
Many years later, when Shan Shan recalled these things again, she thought, how could she not fall in love with Tang Xiaotian? At that age, the handsome, sunny, courageous and upright man appeared like a knight.
Even if he didn't even have a centimeter of her in his heart, even if he hurt her more and deeper than her father later.
But she still loves him and still doesn't regret it.
She still feels that no matter how many times she does it again, she will forget her mother's advice and choose the same path.

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight penetrated through the clouds and shone warmly on the earth. People on the road had already taken off their heavy cotton-padded jackets and put on thick coats in early spring. Girls who love beauty put on short skirts early, black The silk stockings wrapped her slender legs very tight and slender. A middle-aged woman was carrying a vegetable basket in her left hand and a shopping bag in her right hand. She got off the bus, crossed the road, and hurried into a family hall where outsiders were not allowed to enter. In the courtyard, after taking out the key to open the door, he called into the room kindly: "Dan Shan, come and see, what did Auntie buy you?"
A girl wearing a pink rabbit sweater popped out of the clean and simple guest room, looking at her with big beautiful eyes and a smile: "Aunt Tang, what did you buy for me?"
Since Tang Xiaotian took her back from the hospital last time, she has lived in the Tang family. The Tang family is in a unit building in a large courtyard. The house is not big, with only three bedrooms and two living rooms. The room she lived in was a study. After she got married, Tang Xiaotian helped her buy a single bed to put in it. Mother Tang bought her a lot of pink bedding, and even the curtains were replaced with fabrics with cherry blossoms on them. Father Tang was in the army and rarely returned But every time he came back, he would pass by the stewed vegetable shop and bring back a roast duck. In his eyes, children love to eat meat like roast duck. He only lived in the Tang family for more than a month, and his skinny face was raised. Her body is rosy and shiny, and even her body has grown a lot of flesh.
Shan Shan likes this place very much, likes this small house, just one step can step out of the door, just one step can meet people, maybe it's Tang's mother with a hearty smile, maybe Tang's strict and reticent father, maybe it's the exuberant Looking at the warm Tang Xiaotian, even if she doesn't have to go out, someone will call her name brightly outside the door, just like now.
"You child, what are you doing in a daze, come and try." Tang's mother also liked Shan Shan very much. She took out a small cloak coat and a pair of small leather shoes from the shopping bag with a smile on her face, and smiled. Said: "The day is getting warmer and warmer. I see that you are still wrapped in a down jacket and snow boots every day. Auntie just bought you two casually, and see if they fit or not."
Shan Shan was not polite, took it happily, and thanked him: "It fits, how could it not fit!"
"It's fine if you like it, but I'm afraid that you don't like the style I bought." Mother Tang said while helping Shan Shan change the clothes. Wearing it alone really fits well. The pink cloak coat, paired with a small black skirt, and small leather shoes exude a youthful and invincible sweetness.
"I like it! I really like it." Shan Shan said from the bottom of his heart.
Mama Tang couldn't help but praised: "Ah, it's so pretty! Shan Shan looks so good!"
Shan Dan was happy, and thanked with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Aunt Tang."
"Thank me for what, I haven't thanked you yet. If you hadn't taken care of Xiaotian in the United States, I really don't know if this kid will come back." Tang's mother couldn't help being long-winded when she thought of Tang Xiaotian's stupid things. : "Why do you think Shu Yawang took care of the family affairs so hard? Now it's over. Shu Yawang got divorced smoothly. As for him, he will be punished for serious demerits and forced to change jobs. He won't even be able to become a soldier."
Just thinking about Tang Xiaotian's appearance selling sweet potatoes, he couldn't help laughing out loud: "Auntie, don't think so, what's so good about being a soldier, it's not interesting at all, brother Xiaotian is also very good as a policeman now!"
Tang Ma said with a sad face: "Hey, it's not good or bad, it's because he has volunteered since he was a child to be a soldier, and he is about to be promoted to the battalion level if he is so young. How many people as young as him can get into the battalion level!"
"Auntie is alright, alright, don't be angry. Think about it, Brother Xiaotian is back from the army, so he will be by your side every day to honor you. What a wonderful thing, this is called a blessing in disguise." Shan Shan said with a smile: "We have to think better."
"You're the only girl who can talk." Tang's mother was coaxed by Shan Shan, and she held her hand reluctantly and said, "You have to stay at my house for a few more days, but you are not allowed to leave immediately."
"Okay, okay, I stay with you at your house every day, and you have to cook delicious food for me every meal." Shan Shan took Tang's mother's hand and hugged her affectionately, with the tenderness of a little girl on her face.
Tang Xiaotian happened to see this scene when he came back, and couldn't help but smile. In his memory, his mother was a very fierce person. When he was a child, his friends would ask his mother if he was at home when they came to play at their house. I won't go here, but I can be coaxed like a kind old lady here.
"Brother Xiaotian, you're back!" Shan Shan greeted with a smile.
Tang Ma gave him a blank look, ignored him, and went into the kitchen to cook. Shan Shan came over and whispered to Tang Xiaotian, "I'm angry."
"What did you say?" Xiaotian bent down and asked in a low voice.
"Say you ruin your future." Shan Shan replied truthfully.
Tang Xiaotian rubbed his nose and didn't say a word, but there was no regret on his face. Maybe he decided to smuggle to find Qu Weiran at that time. He was really impulsive and didn't think about the consequences. It was very sad, but when Yawang finally got rid of the relationship with this demon, he felt it was worth it.
He begged Yawang's mother, don't tell Shu Yawang that it was so smooth this time because of him. When Yawang's mother asked him why, Tang Xiaotian said softly: "I know, she doesn't want to owe anyone anymore. I don't want to add psychological stress to her." burden."
Yawang's mother sighed and nodded in agreement, looking at Tang Xiaotian with guilt and distress, but there was nothing she could do.
"Brother Xiaotian, why are you in a daze, Mama Tang is calling you." Tang Xiaotian said after shaking Shan Dan.
Tang Xiaotian woke up from his thoughts, walked into the kitchen, and said with a smile on his face, "Mom, what's the matter."
Mama Tang glared at him and said, "What else can I do? Last time your aunt introduced that girl to you, why didn't you go and see her? What a beautiful girl, she has a good-looking appearance, a good personality, and a good family background! So Where can you find good conditions?"
Tang Xiaotian's head got dizzy when he heard this: "Yeah, I'm afraid that she will look down on me, so I won't waste time."
"Don't give me and mud!" Tang's mother slapped the knife angrily and said, "Think about how old you are? Old men who are 27 or 8 don't even have a date! You said it was your high school classmates , which one is not married? Zhang Jingyu's sons are all born, don't you worry about it?"
Tang Xiaotian shook his head indifferently and said, "I'm not in a hurry."
"You are not in a hurry, I am in a hurry!" Mother Tang's voice became louder and louder, and even Shan Shan who was sitting in the living room heard her words clearly: "Tang Xiaotian, I know that you still miss the child of the Shu family! I told you You, you should die! Don't say that Shu Yawang doesn't want to be with you now, even if she is willing, you don't want to marry her in! Unless I die!"
Tang Xiaotian lowered his head and said nothing, with an ugly expression on his face.
"Tell me! Are you going on a blind date!" Tang Ma asked sharply.
"No." Tang Xiaotian refused straight away: "It's useless to go."
"If you don't go, right? If you don't go, I'll go to Shu's house to make trouble now! Why did the Shu family break the engagement! Why did she run away after harming my son! What is she, Shu Yawang!"
"Mom!" Tang Xiaotian said helplessly, "What are you doing at Shu's house?"
"Aren't you still waiting for her to come back? Don't you write to her every day and don't know where to send it? Let me help you get her out! Let her come out and speak clearly, don't always hide and hide. Now that you've made it clear, you're so determined!" Mama Tang took off her apron swiftly and walked outside the house.
"Mom! Mom! Don't be like this!" Tang Xiaotian quickly grabbed Tang's mother, and Dan Shan also came to persuade: "Auntie, don't be angry."
"How can I not be angry! My son doesn't even want to find a partner. This is to make our old Tang family lose his son!" Tang's mother shouted angrily: "No way! I have to go to the Shu family to explain it to them! Let them take my daughter Hand it over!"
"Auntie, forget it, Brother Xiaotian like you is very embarrassing." Shan Shan persuaded softly: "Besides, whether Brother Xiaotian finds a partner or not has nothing to do with the Shu family."
"I put him in trouble, and he still puts me in trouble! It's useless even if you stop me today, I have to go find them! Ah, I won't let Xiao Tian live in peace when people run away, so many good girls, introduce to them He doesn't even take a look, and it's all Shu Yawang's fault! If I don't go to her, who will I go to!" Tang's mother said angrily.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, you won't be able to do anything if you get angry." Shan Shan patted her on the back.
Seeing that he couldn't stop his mother today, Tang Xiaotian had to close his eyes and surrendered: "Okay, okay, I'll go see, I'll see all the girls you introduced, don't go to Shu's house to make trouble."
After getting this answer, Tang's mother was finally satisfied. She folded her arms around her chest and said, "You did it voluntarily, I didn't force you."
Tang Xiaotian nodded in compromise.
He knew his mother's aggressive personality, so he really went to Shu's house to make a fuss, Shu's father and Shu's mother's gentle personality would definitely suffer, he didn't want to make things serious, and didn't want to disturb Shu Yawang.
He hoped that she could slowly come out of the prison in her heart in a quiet environment.
(Four)
On Sunday afternoon, in a secluded coffee shop, melodious classical music was playing, and the aroma of mellow coffee was circulating in the air. This coffee shop was located in a secluded location, and there were not many customers. He sat upright on the sofa, exuding the charm of a tough and handsome man. The woman sitting opposite him was completely fascinated by him. There was a trace of blushing on her drooping cheeks. He couldn't help but burst into ecstasy at a glance!
This is Zhao Rong's 30th blind date. Compared with the ones he has seen before, this man is like a world apart, and he cannot be compared with each other at all! The first second she saw him, she finally believed in love again! This is simply the most handsome man she has ever seen since she was a child, and that figure is simply perfect. He is 1.87 meters tall, with a pair of super long legs, and powerful muscles wrapped under a well-fitting suit. I just want people to jump on me, be hugged tightly by him, and then feel the sense of security he brings to you!
This kind of man is very rare nowadays, a super perfect handsome guy who is commonly known as a tough guy~!
Zhao Rong couldn't help but peeked at it again, almost covered his face and shook it hard! As long as he is willing, he can get married tomorrow! It's okay for her to pay all the money when she leaves the house and car! As long as he is willing!
Tang Xiaotian smiled politely: "Hello, my name is Tang Xiaotian."
Zhao Rong shyly twisted the hanging tablecloth and said, "I know."
Tang Xiaotian continued: "I am a policeman now."
Zhao Rong continued to say shyly and gently, "I know."
Tang Xiaotian coughed lightly and said, "Actually, I have a lover, I'm sorry."
Zhao Rong was already dazed by Tang Xiaotian's face, he didn't even hear what he said, and still nodded his head and said in a nympho: "I know."
Woke up immediately after answering: "Ah? You have a lover?!"
Tang Xiaotian nodded.
Zhao Rong was enraged by this blow in an instant, and rushed out: "You still come on a blind date if you have a lover?"
Tang Xiaotian confessed honestly: "My mother forced me to come."
"Your mother told you to come and you come, your mother told you to die, do you go or not! Are you a mother's treasure? Do you listen to your mother for everything?" Zhao Rong could no longer control his lost heart and daughter. The essence of a man, she splashed a glass of cold water on Tang Xiaotian's face, picked up her bag and turned away, shouting as she walked, "I'm desperate for Chinese men! What's the use of being handsome! Mommy can't bear it!"
Tang Xiaotian was not angry either, but depressedly picked up the napkin on the table, wiped the water off his face, and walked over from the hidden booth next door, with a wicked smile on his face: "Brother Xiaotian, what is today's day?" It's the seventh one! I'll do the math for you, 3 cups of splashed water, 2 cups of coffee, 1 cup of lemon juice, 1 cup of milk tea, I think you can't have this suit."
"Thank you for helping me figure it out so clearly." Tang Xiaotian sighed and asked, "How many more are there?"
Just flipped through the notebook and said, "There are 7 more."
Tang Xiaotian looked desperate: "Why are there so many?"
Shan Dan smiled: "Aunt Tang is really awesome. She has found so many partners for you. I believe that at this rate, it is not impossible for you to have a look at all the young married women in the city."
Tang Xiaotian wailed in pain: "Stop making sarcastic remarks, I'm going to die if this goes on."
"If you continue to say this to every girl who comes, I believe that you will be beaten to death sooner or later." Shan Shan teased mischievously.
"Then what can I do, I can't deceive their feelings and waste their time." Tang Xiaotian frowned.
Shan Shan thought about it, wrinkled his nose and said, "Brother Xiaotian, I think it's wrong for you to do this."
Tang Xiaotian nodded and said: "I think so too, but otherwise my mother won't give up. After I offend the girl, no one will dare to introduce her to me anymore."
Just looked at him and said, "Then you won't be able to find someone in the future?"
"I didn't plan to look for it at all." Tang Xiaotian said.
Seeing his reply without hesitation for a second, Shan Shan lowered his head to hold the crystal cup on the table, looked up at him seriously after a while and asked, "Brother Xiaotian, if, I mean if , if you know you can't be with the person you love most, will you accept a person who loves you?"
Tang Xiaotian didn't speak, lowered his eyes, his face was downcast, the water droplets that were splashed on his face just now seeped out from his hair, slowly slid across his forehead, and flowed down from the corners of his eyes. There seemed to be infinite sadness hidden on that resolute face . He didn't speak, he didn't answer this question for a long time, maybe he didn't think about the answer, he couldn't bear this assumption alone.
Seeing him like this, Shan Shan quickly changed the subject and said, "I'll just ask casually, you don't need to answer."
Tang Xiaotian still didn't answer, and his smile became even more bitter: "Go back."
"Hey, you're missing the rest?" Shan Shan asked after Tang Xiaotian who had already stood up.
"I don't want to see you." Tang Xiaotian turned around and walked straight forward.
Just looking at his back, suddenly, I already knew his answer.
How could this man who surrounded his heart and the first love like a copper wall be willing to accept another person.
Even if that person loves him very much, it won't work.
Shan Shan lowered his head, followed his footsteps, and walked forward step by step. He didn't know why, why the obviously happy mood became so heavy.
In fact, think about yourself, how is it different from those women who are on a blind date with him? They are all deeply attracted by him, but they are not even willing to give him a chance to love him.
Shan Shan stopped and looked at his back. She waited, waiting for herself to be a little different in his heart, even if it was only a little bit.
Just closing her eyes, the sound of the wind passing by her ears, the sound of the coffee shop closing, and the jingling of the wind chimes on the door beam, a couple walked by her, whispering sweet words...
After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes, and she had lost his figure in her sight, just bit her lips lightly, and lowered her head heavily.
"Shan Shan." Suddenly, his voice came from the driveway in the distance, Shan Shan looked up quickly, and saw Tang Xiaotian had already driven the car, parked on the side of the road in front of the coffee shop, rolled down the window and looked at her and said: "Come on, don't you want to go home?"
Shan Shan pursed her lips, squinted her eyes hard and smiled, with a little tear in her smile, she ran towards him and shouted heartily: "Come back!"
Many years later, just thinking that she was really cheap at that time, just a little bit of tenderness, a little bit of goodness, and a little bit of hope made her cling to it and fantasize about it for more than ten years.
Until the end, until the last moment, I was unwilling to give up...
(five)
Tang Xiaotian and Shan Shan returned home downstairs, Tang Xiaotian first sent Shan Shan to investigate the firepower of his mother, Shan Shan crept open the door, and took a peek inside, Tang's mother really had a long face, like a volcano about to erupt It turned out that she had already answered six or seven calls in the afternoon, and the people who introduced her said something to Mama Tang: "What is your son? I saw that you begged for a long time before introducing him. He is fine, just say a few words Words offend people! She is the daughter of my leader, how do you tell me to behave!" What "you are crazy, your son doesn't tell me if he has a partner, and asks me to introduce him, do you know how long that girl went home and cried?" What?" "You don't want me to introduce you to your son again." The sister who has a close relationship said to her: "Our friendship is over!"
Tang's mother apologized all afternoon, her lungs were about to explode, she held a broom tightly in her hand, and was going to beat Tang Xiaotian bitterly to relieve her anger when he came back! But this kid was raised by his father, he has a thick skin, I'm afraid he won't know the pain! Mama Tang threw away the broom and replaced it with a thicker stick in her hand!
Shan Shan saw it outside the door, opened his eyes wide, ran down and said to Tang Xiaotian: "Wow, I saw Tang's mother was very angry, you should hide first."
Tang Xiaotian shook his head and said, "No, if I run away, my mother will have to go to Yawang's house to make trouble."
"You're going in now to find a way." Shan Shan hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Why don't I go in and comfort her first, and you can come in when she doesn't get angry."
Tang Xiaotian said: "Comfort? Is comfort useful?"
Shan Shan stared at him: "Why don't you believe in my strength!"
"Okay, okay, you go, I'll wait for your good news." Tang Xiaotian had no choice but to let her go upstairs first, and wait downstairs by himself. Some neighbors saw him standing at the entrance of the corridor, and asked kindly: "Little Tian'er, why don't you go up?"
"In a while, in a while." Tang Xiaotian fooled around vaguely.
In less than a cigarette, Shan Shan ran down with a smile on his face: "Let's go, the alarm is off!"
"Really?" Tang Xiaotian looked at her in disbelief.
Shan Shan nodded triumphantly: "If you don't believe me, go up and have a look."
Tang Xiaotian came home and saw that Tang's mother was humming and cooking in the kitchen with a smile on her face. Tang Xiaotian rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and after realizing that this was not a dream, he patted her on the shoulder in surprise and said, "Okay, you ! How did you do it?"
"It's very simple." Shan Dan smiled cheaply: "I told her not to worry, but it's useless to be anxious. Even if you are forced to find a girlfriend now, it's because you don't care, isn't it hurting other girls! So , I want to give you a little time, after three to five or seven years, you will let go, and by that time, if you can't find a partner, I can be your daughter-in-law!"
"Not bad, not bad! You're good at delaying the attack!" Tang Xiaotian smiled happily, and after a while, he suddenly turned around and asked, "But you were joking with the last sentence, right?"
Shaking his head alone, he denied it in a very relaxed and playful way: "No."
"..." Tang Xiaotian was stunned for a while, and then said with difficulty after a while: "This...isn't it good?"
"Why? You don't want to, why do you want to? Why don't you agree? I'm buying time for you. I'm going to get married at the age of 28, and it's almost 10 years before I turn 28. Your mother won't force you to go on a blind date for 10 years, so you can wait quietly for your Shu Yawang, how nice it is." Shan Shan raised his phoenix eyes, poked his chest, and said domineeringly: "But if you spend ten years You can't even wait, I think you should give up. By then, you will be old, and a poor policeman has no money. Who will want you? I think you have helped twice. , reluctantly accept you, you don't thank me, you are still unwilling, hey! You can say it."
"..." Tang Xiaotian was completely unable to get in his mouth after being accused by her in such a series. He felt that what she said seemed to be right, but it was wrong. Just as he was about to say something, he was robbed of the right to speak again: "Don't worry, I won't I’ll regret it, it’s such a happy decision!”
After speaking, turned around and ran away
Tang Xiaotian hurriedly said: "Hey! Shan Shan! It's not right for you to come back!"
Shan Shan just ignored him and ran away bouncing around. That cute back looked so heartless. Tang Xiaotian shook his head and smiled lightly. He didn't believe that this little girl who was eight years younger than him really She would wait for him for ten years. At that time, he thought she was just joking.
But he didn't see that when she turned around, that cute little face was flushed with excitement, like a little girl who finally got a happy number plate, running forward nervously and excitedly. Although this is a waiting card, there is only one person in front of her. She just believes that she can wait, and she will stay by his side, guarding him, and will not let anyone jump in line.
She knew that she had to wait for a long time, but it didn't matter, she could afford to wait, one day, she would wait until he completely forgot about that girl named Shu Yawang.
At that time, she was so young and so confident. She always thought that she could always get another one with her sincerity. She always thought that her time was so long and she would always wait until the day he turned back.
At that time, she was blindfolded by her yearning for love, and she loved Tang Xiaotian blindly and innocently. Even the way he loved Shu Yawang, she found it so charming, so exciting, so worth it.

Shan Shan has been in China for nearly two months. The American university returned her student status to her original high school because she did not register for the second semester. Shan Shan lives comfortably in China. The close relationship is like a mother and daughter, and they don't want to leave at all. Coupled with their obsession with Tang Xiaotian, let alone the United States, they don't even want to leave S City. Tang Ma said, "You might as well go back to college."
After hesitating for a second, he nodded and said, "Okay!"
Mother Tang hugged her happily: "Oh, that's great."
Tang's mother was naturally very happy. She liked her future little daughter-in-law to the bottom of her heart. She knew very well in her heart that it was impossible for her son to give up immediately, and she just wanted a little girl to keep chasing after her. Only then will the son change his mind!
And Shan Shan, beautiful and well-behaved, her small mouth is as sweet as honey, the more she looks at it, the more she likes it, and the more she looks at it, the more she is satisfied. Don't say that Tang Xiaotian and Shu Yawang are no longer playing, even if there is a play, she wants to tear them apart . Tang's father expressed a slight objection to Shan Shan's daughter-in-law, and was immediately suppressed by Tang's mother! Like his son, this dead old man still counts on the girl from the Shu family to be his daughter-in-law. Hmph, the men of the Tang family, one counts as the other, they are all stone-headed, they can't turn a corner, they just know how to wrong themselves because of their friendship!
Tang's mother is a vigorous and decisive woman. She was afraid that Shan Shan would repent, and she would have long nights and dreams, so she immediately asked Shan Shan to return to the United States to complete the school transfer procedures, and then forced Tang to find a relationship and send Shan Shan to the English Department of S City University as a special quota of international students. After everything was done, Tang Xiao didn't know about it until after only two weeks of classes in the university.
Only then did he realize that his mother and Shan Shan were not just kidding, they were going for real!
Afterwards, he began to avoid Shan Shan intentionally or unintentionally, Tang Xiaotian was such a man, he would not flirt with any woman, he was like a stone, or granite, without even a single crack.
Tang Xiaotian's criminal police team is already very busy, and it is not uncommon for him not to go home for three to five days. In addition, he deliberately hides. Tang Xiaotian was on duty in the team when he suddenly felt someone approaching from behind and blindfolded him with a swipe. His hand moved up habitually, and the silky touch in his hand made him guess that it was a girl. With the familiar smell on her body, he said without hesitation: "Single, don't make trouble."
Shan Shan pouted unhappily and said, "How did you guess it right away?"
Tang Xiaotian muttered: "Who else would be so naive except you."
Shan Shan snorted, and brought a large bag of clean clothes to his table: "Hey, Auntie asked me to bring you a change of clothes, and also told you to go home for dinner on weekends."
Tang Xiaotian smiled: "Thank you."
"What's the use of thanking you with just a mouth, this is just right, please treat me to dinner." Shan Shan pulled Tang Xiaotian's arm and said, "I want to eat hot pot."
"I still have something to do." Tang Xiaotian evaded.
"No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat." Shan Shan pointed to the wall clock whose hour hand was pointing to 6:30 in the evening: "It's more efficient to do things when you're full."
"Today is really not good, next time?"
"No! Just today!" Shan Shan became willful.
Tang Xiaotian sighed, looked up at her angry look, knowing that she couldn't hide, he could only say: "Okay, okay. But it takes too much time to eat hot pot, so let's go to the nearby restaurant to eat casually, okay?" ?”
Shan Shan pursed his lips, Tang Xiaotian quickly promised: "Next time, next time, I will definitely treat you to hot pot."
"Okay." Shan Shan compromised, as long as she saw Tang Xiaotian, she would be very happy.
The small restaurant next to the Public Security Bureau is where Tang Xiaotian often eats, and many colleagues in the bureau also like to eat here. Colleagues who know Tang Xiaotian saw that he brought a little girl in, and couldn't help but tease him: "Yo, Tang Xiaotian, what's going on!"
A female traffic policeman gossiped and asked, "Girlfriend?"
A male policeman had particularly poisonous eyes: "This girl looks so small, is she an adult?"
A person who looked like a leader pretended to be stern and said: "Tang Xiaotian, I'm going to criticize you, you are making a mistake."
"Hahahaha." Everyone laughed.
"No, no, it's my sister." Tang Xiaotian quickly denied it.
The gossip female traffic policeman asked sharply, "Are you a relative?"
"No, I admit it." Tang Xiaotian was honest.
"Hehehehe." There was tacit laughter in the restaurant, everyone looked at the two of them ambiguously, Shan Dan said calmly, looked at everyone with a sweet smile on his face, and greeted everyone politely: Hello everyone.
Tang Xiaotian regretted it to death, he should have taken her to a farther place to eat hot pot.
After this time, Shan Shan often ran to Tang Xiaotian's team, sometimes giving him things, sometimes looking for him to eat, sometimes passing by after school to see him, and soon, Shan Shan became one with the criminal policemen in Tang Xiaotian's team. The police are all good people, so how could they fail to see the little girl's thoughts, they always called Shan Shan Tang Xiaotian's little girlfriend half in jest and half in harmony.
"Tang Xiaotian, your little girlfriend is here to bring you something again."
"Tang Xiaotian, your little girlfriend is waiting for you outside."
"Tang Xiaotian, your little girlfriend came here just now, and you are not here to leave a note for you."
"Tang Xiaotian, your little girlfriend..."
"That's enough! She's not my little girlfriend. If anyone calls me that again, I'll turn against anyone else!" Tang Xiaotian was really angry. He slapped the table hard, stood up, and looked around seriously. Colleagues, this is the first time he got angry when he came to the police force. The colleagues all fell silent, and they all put away their joking smiles, feeling a little self-defeating.
Tang Xiaotian himself didn't know why he was so angry, but he really didn't like it. He didn't like that his girlfriend was called another girl, even if that girl was such a kind and simple person. When I heard this title, I felt ashamed and flustered, as if I had done something wrong to Shu Yawang! He can't take it anymore!

Tang Xiaotian turned around and was about to leave. When he raised his eyes, he saw Shan Shan standing outside the office. She stared at him blankly. When he walked towards her, there was a trace of fear and nervousness in her eyes. Tang Xiaotian walked up to her Beside him, he said in a deep voice, "Come with me."
"Oh." Just like the little daughter-in-law, she had to follow Tang Xiaotian forward. After a while, she arrived at the police training ground. There was no one around. Tang Xiaotian took a deep breath and said in a gentle voice: "Don't you Come to my unit."
"Why?" Shan Shan asked in a low voice.
Tang Xiaotian went straight to the point without concealing it: "I don't like it, and I don't want to be misunderstood."
Shan Shan squeezed her hands tightly, and argued in a very low voice: "Auntie always asks me to bring things..."
Tang Xiaotian sighed and said: "I will tell my mother, tell her not to let you bring things over."
Shan Shan lowered his head, feeling as if he had been poured with a basin of cold water, it was icy cold.
"Single." Tang Xiaotian said softly, his voice was so crisp and decisive: "Don't fall in love with me."
Shan Shan suddenly raised his head and stared at him! Feeling ashamed and angry! She wants to deny it for the first time, wants to shout who is in love with you for the first time! Smug! opinionated! But, she couldn't yell out...
Yes, she couldn't deny that her inexplicable behavior was not because she fell in love with him! She knew that if she confessed, she would definitely be rejected, and he didn't even give her the qualification to like her! Not allowed!
Shan Shan really felt ashamed and anxious, she bit her lips tightly, with tears of grievance in her eyes, and stared at Tang Xiaotian stubbornly: "You are so ridiculous, do I need your consent to love you? If you don't agree, I can't love anymore? Did you love Shu Yawang with her consent? If she disagrees, do you stop loving? You said you can! I can! "
Tang Xiaotian looked at her and said seriously: "If that's what she wants, I will do it, at least, I will do it. In her eyes, I don't love her anymore."
Shan Shan didn't speak for a while, turned his head vigorously, and asked in a cold voice: "Your subtext is that I should be like you, and silently roll aside, so that I don't appear in your line of sight, right?"
Seeing her sad look, Tang Xiaotian softened his tone: "No, I just don't want to see you get hurt."
Shan Shan sneered: "You really think too much! Am I hurt? I don't feel hurt at all! Who do you think you are? This level of hurt is like being bitten by a mosquito to me! I don't feel hurt at all. It hurts! Even if you don't love me all your life, I don't feel the pain! Tang Xiaotian, I love you! I just love you! Even if you don't allow it, I don't plan to change it!"
Tang Xiaotian looked at her and frowned slightly. He remembered that when he was young, all the girls who confessed to him were blushing, shy and timid. Only this girl, with almost With all the strength in his body, he confessed to him so fiercely and with tears in his eyes. At this moment, he suddenly missed Shu Yawang very much, because every time someone confessed to him, she would rush out to stop him and help him refuse.
But this time, she wasn't here, so he had to reject it himself, rejecting this straightforward and lovely girl.
Tang Xiaotian raised his eyes, looked at Shan Shan and said softly, "I'm sorry Shan Shan, I never intended to love others in the past."
Shan Shan said stubbornly: "I know, I can wait."
Tang Xiaotian shook his head: "But ten years is too short, I can't forget it."
Just staring at him, without giving in at all: "Then twenty years."
Tang Xiaotian stepped forward and patted Shan Shan lightly on the top of his head, just like he had done countless times before, his movements were still gentle, but what he said made Shan Shan feel so cold: "Shan Shan, go back, go back to the United States , don’t live in my house anymore.”
Shan Shan was stunned, looking at Tang Xiaotian stupidly, he drove her away, the only person in the world who gave her a safe haven, drove her away
The tears alone are like a faucet that has been unscrewed. They can no longer be controlled and flow out. The pain in my heart can no longer be suppressed, and small crying sounds rush out of his throat. Tang Xiaotian turned his head, unwilling to Looking at her, Shan Shan didn't speak, just held her breath, shed tears, turned around and walked out with difficulty, wiped the tears with the back of her hand when her vision blurred, and continued walking.
Tang Xiaotian slowly raised his head and looked at her back. He didn't want to hurt her like this, but he was even more afraid that she would be so obsessed with her, and spend ten or twenty years of youth in vain. He felt that for a cute girl like her, she should find a sunny and handsome boy and have a happy relationship, instead of crying heartbroken for a man who won't look back.
