Zhang Taotao couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard Su Tiannan's words: "Forget it. I helped you this time, we don't owe each other anything, and it's best not to see each other in the future."
"So decisive?" Su Tiannan asked.
"What can I gain from contacting you?" Zhang Taotao raised her head slightly and asked seriously, "What you want to do is more important than me, isn't it?"
Su Tiannan was silent.
"What are you talking about, you'll chase me when you don't have to run around anymore? Please, don't be so confident, my kids might be in love by then." Zhang Taotao raised her glass and said, "I wish you a safe journey and all your wishes come true. You drink water, I'll drink."
"Why are you so sour? This doesn't fit your image as a strong woman."
"I'm so jealous, who do you think you are?" Zhang Taotao drank the wine in the glass with a savoring expression on her face: "Comfortable!"
An hour and a half later, the two finished their dinner.
The two walked on the road paved with bluestone bricks in silence. The surrounding ancient European buildings looked mottled and old, but full of a heavy sense of history.
After walking for a while, Su Tiannan suddenly turned his head and said, "Hey, let's take a picture!"
"Are you sick?! You are a wanted criminal, why should I take a picture with you?" Zhang Taotao replied arrogantly.
"I've already finished taking the photos, and I'm not going to post them online, can't I just keep them for myself?" Su Tiannan approached her, put his arms around Zhang Taotao's waist, and took out his cell phone without giving her any time to explain.
"Where are you touching!" Zhang Taotao scolded with her eyes wide open.
"Hey, you won't die if you touch it." Su Tiannan raised his phone and urged, "Don't turn your head so far away from me, move closer to me."
"… You and I are not a couple, what the hell is that?"
"I'll pay you 200 yuan, and we can be lovers for two minutes, okay?"
"Okay." Zhang Taotao slowly leaned her head on Su Tiannan's shoulder, looked at the camera of the mobile phone, and smiled unconsciously.
Su Tiannan had gauze wrapped around his face and looked miserable, but judging from the degree of deformation of the gauze, he was smiling.
“Swish!”
The phone flashed with light and the picture froze.
Zhang Taotao immediately sternly ordered, "Send me one too, and I won't charge you."
"… Don't you want it?"
"I think I look pretty good in the photo." Zhang Taotao replied while stroking her hair.
As they were talking, they had already reached the end of the pedestrian street. Su Tiannan put his phone in his pocket, looked at her and said, "I'm leaving!"
Zhang Taotao held her bag in both hands and replied simply, "Let's go!"
"Hmm... Hmm..." Su Tiannan held it in for a long time, not knowing what to say. He just looked at her and replied, "Take care. I'll call you when I have time."
"No need to fight, thank you!" Zhang Taotao replied politely.
Su Tiannan turned and left, quickly disappearing around the corner of the street.
The moment his back left her sight, Zhang Taotao felt an extremely lost feeling in her heart.
She actually had an urge to cry! It was as if she had nothing at this moment, and negative emotions such as loneliness, emptiness, and reluctance were growing in her heart uncontrollably.
Zhang Taotao is definitely not a love-brained person. On the contrary, she is an extremely rational woman, otherwise she would not have said those words to Su Tiannan in the restaurant just now.
But at this moment, she couldn't help herself and couldn't control her emotions.
This was the first time in Zhang Taotao's life that she had experienced this feeling. It was the first time for her to really feel this way! After her parents died, she became indifferent to relationships between men and women. Fighting in the business battlefield, it was difficult for her to meet a close friend of the opposite sex. She had lived a lonely and withdrawn life over the years, but she had never felt that there was anything wrong with this because she was used to it.
However, after these two contacts with Su Tiannan, she seemed a little uncomfortable with this habit.
"call!"
Zhang Taotao stood at the street corner and let out a long breath. After a long while, she walked back the way she came, somewhat dazed. She didn't want to take a car and just wanted to be alone for a while.
Under the dim light, Zhang Taotao looked at the road ahead with a dull gaze, and no one knew what was going on in her mind.
“Bang!”
Just then, a hand rested on her shoulder.
Zhang Taotao turned around and looked back, her hair dancing in the wind. He was back, and the gauze on his face was even sweaty.
"You...!" Zhang Taotao was a little surprised.
Su Tiannan suddenly raised his hands, first pulled away the gauze around the corners of his mouth, and then held Zhang Taotao's pretty face.
"What are you doing?!" Zhang Taotao took a step back.
"Wave!"
Su Tiannan began his shameless attack. He leaned his head forward, pouted his lips and bit Taotao's lips hard.
Yes, he did bite! This shows that when he said he had been holding it in for two years, he was definitely not pretending to be pitiful!
“Woo woo…!” Zhang Taotao pushed Su Tiannan hard.
He completely ignored her and continued his attack, causing the wound at the corner of her mouth to crack slightly and even bleed.
Zhang Taotao looked at him, slowly stopped resisting, slowly raised her arms and hugged his neck.
On the ancient streets, the mottled stone statue of a knight holding a spear seems to have witnessed countless vows of love; the bronze statue of a child peeing next to it seems to have stood here for a hundred years and witnessed countless lovers kissing on the streets.
Su Tiannan almost ate Zhang Taotao. After kissing her for five or six minutes, he loosened his hand and said to her, "...Give me another chance, and I will save you!"
Zhang Taotao was stunned.
"I've come to this point, I can't help myself." Su Tiannan stroked her hair: "I still say the same thing, one day when I don't have to run around, I will definitely chase you! Marry you! At worst, I can kidnap you again!"
"Don't make me promises. I don't believe in them." Zhang Taotao touched his cheek and replied, "Take care of yourself."
The two hugged each other, and Su Tiannan turned around and left again, waving his hands with his back to her: "From now on, no one can touch you two sisters except me!"
"… Stupid!" A smile appeared on Zhang Taotao's lips.
…
At around four o'clock in the morning, Su Tiannan took a car to the suburbs and entered a very old apartment building.
The lights in the study were still on, and a group of people were having a meeting.
"Please sit here and wait for a moment." The driver said to Su Tiannan.
"Okay!" Su Tiannan nodded, walked around the room with his hands behind his back, and looked at the surrounding environment.
As he walked, Su Tiannan came to a bookshelf and suddenly noticed a group photo that looked quite old.
Below the photo it says: Group photo of the first congress of the Chinese Federation of Trade Unions.
Su Tiannan looked at the group of people in the photo curiously, and suddenly noticed that there was a man in the middle of the crowd who he was very familiar with...
Su Tiannan was stunned for a moment, then he immediately picked up the photo and looked at the figure carefully. After confirming that he had not made a mistake, his expression became very surprised, and his face turned pale under the gauze...
