The difference between "can't" and "don't want to" is just one word, but the emotions contained in them are completely different. One is that the intention is more than enough, but the strength is not enough, and the other is that the strength is more than the strength but the intention is no longer.
Huang Jingming and Xiao Di were both silent, looking at Tan Xuan with their eyes gradually changing from confusion to sympathy and distress. People who have been baptized by society know what price it takes to have such an understanding. Of course, there are also people who don't know.
A reasonable person cannot tell Tan Xuan the meaning of these words.
"Then what's the matter? Whoever has the ability can get in. Why should you care about other people's opinions?" Xiao Yu said from the side.
Xiao Di glared at Xiao Yu and shouted in a low voice: "Stop talking, no one will treat you as a mute."
Xiao Yu stopped talking and just rolled his eyes.
Tan Xuan laughed at the side, "It's okay, they are all members of my family. Lao Huang is also a friend who has experienced life and death with me. There is nothing that should not be said."
"That's right." Xiao Yu felt that someone was speaking for him, and his attitude immediately changed.
Tan Xuan continued: "Xiao Yu has never been severely beaten by society. After she has seen the evil people's hearts, she will understand what I mean."
"Uh... I'm just a white sesame."
Xiao Yu's mood, which he had just recovered from, suddenly dropped again.
Huang Jingming nodded, sighed and said: "We lose our nature to the world and lose ourselves to things. This is also the reason why people like us in the mountains are unwilling to join the world."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Di with a confused expression, while Xiao Di had a similar expression to hers, and they were equally confused.
Tan Xuan smiled slightly, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. After putting down the tea cup, he said to Huang Jingming: "Old Huang, you don't have to say these words that don't convey what you want. It's very valuable that you have the thought. You can do whatever you want.
Do it, I don’t support it, but I won’t object either. After all, you don’t have any ties, and I still want to continue living in this city. If you really encounter any difficulties that require me to take action, then you can directly
Let me tell you, I am not a stickler for rules."
"Mr. Youtan's words are enough. You can look to me for the following matters." Huang Jingming took out the wine box in his arms and took a sip.
After dinner, Huang Jingming left. Because of his interference, the original plan of spending time was ruined. After seeing Xiao Yu off, Tan Xuan and Xiao Di also drove home.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Sitting in the car, Xiao Di looked at Tan Xuan and asked.
Tan Xuan chuckled, "How dare I hide anything from you."
Xiao Di didn't speak, just looked at Tan Xuan quietly. What does silence mean at this time? This silent question hits the heart more directly than the sound.
"Haha, I was wrong." Tan Xuan was timid, smiled bitterly and put the car on the side of the road, "Actually, I..."
"You don't need to explain." Xiao Di reached out and covered Tan Xuan's mouth, "I know you must have some hidden agenda if you don't continue to pursue the man behind the scenes. Since you are not ready to tell me, then don't tell me yet.
"
"I……"
Tan Xuan wanted to explain, but the more he spoke, the tighter Xiao Di covered his mouth and nose.
"Woooo..."
Tan Xuan used his strength to break Xiao Di's hand away. After taking two deep breaths, he said with a grimace: "Are you trying to murder your husband? Why don't you stop telling me, even though I'm hiding it from you?
But don’t cover me to death either.”
Xiao Di noticed that Tan Xuan's face turned red. This was when he realized that he had done something stupid again. He was about to explain, but when he spoke, he became angry again.
"I'll cover you to death. I'll get angry when I see you." Xiao Di waved his hand, and then wiped it on Tan Xuan's body.
"Don't be angry, okay?" Seeing Tan Xuan show his aggressive side, Tan Xuan felt relieved, but he also felt guilty for a moment, "Actually, I have always been quite conflicted in my heart. I didn't hide it from you on purpose, because I
I still don’t know how to deal with this matter. Although I have suspicions, I can’t figure out his purpose of doing this. After we chased him so much last time, he stopped for a while, and I thought he had stopped."
"It turns out that he is confronting us online again, so you want to give him another warning, don't you?" Xiao Di asked, staring at Tan Xuan's glasses with her big eyes.
Tan Xuan nodded, then shook his head, "I can't tell you what I was thinking. I wanted to catch him and question him face to face, and I thought he might also have his own reasons."
Xiao Di snorted coldly and said, "You still make it difficult. Is she a woman?"
Tan Xuan was stunned for a moment and then laughed out loud. He took Xiao Di's hand and said, "What are you thinking about? Didn't you see him last time? Do you think his running posture looks like a woman's?"
Xiao Di curled his lips and snorted angrily, "It's not a woman. What are you struggling with? I thought you were fascinated by some woman. Hurry up and drive. I won't argue with that guy this time. If
He still slaps his nose and his face, I don’t care who he is, I’m not done with him, and it won’t work if you don’t make a choice between me and him.”
"Haha, then I will definitely stand by your side. You don't have to choose. Even if the other person is a woman, she is completely incomparable to you in my heart."
What Xiao Di cares about is not who the person is, but the gender of the person. Since it is not a woman, it will not pose a threat to her life anyway, so she behaves very generously. After all, she understands Tan Xuan very deeply.
He's a normal man.
Tan Xuan's worries did not appear. The storm on the Internet quickly passed because Xiao Di did not update any other content. After the heat subsided, those noisy voices gradually died down, and the hiding person gradually died down.
The guy didn't make any more comments, and disappeared again, as if he came out just to take a bubble, and then disappeared after taking the bubble. Only Huang Jingming was still persistently investigating, and after that meal,
He and Tan Xuan never met again and only occasionally called to greet each other. As for the progress, he didn't say anything and Tan Xuan didn't ask.
It's almost the end of the year, and there's been a heavy snowfall in Jiangzhou. The pure white snowflakes have covered the filth in the city. Jiangzhou seems to be really clean. There are no scary or exciting supernatural cases. Even...
Small cases rarely appear, as if all criminals have entered hibernation. The busybody is very disappointed because there are no dramas to watch, and Xiao Di is also very uncomfortable because the society is harmonious and there is no suitable drama for her to play.
Others see it.
After the snow, Jiangzhou has completely entered the cold winter. People on the street are all dressed like penguins. People who want style rather than warmth are no longer seen. After all, the current temperature may not make them "fashionable", but it will definitely
It can make them "cry". If you want to enjoy the beauty of spring, you can only go to places where the enthusiasm is overwhelming. These people can no longer be kept in the streets and alleys. However, after the weather gets cold, Tanxuan's business does get better, because the weather is cold
The ground is freezing, so taking a car is the warmest way to travel, especially for someone like him who can be picked up and dropped off at his door.
"When did you come over? Didn't you promise to pick me up to spend Christmas Eve with Xiao Yu, my eldest brother, Sister Qin, and the others? Why haven't you come to pick us up at this time? Have you forgotten what I told you?
ah."
Xiao Di stayed at home for two days. After all, her relationship with Tan Xuan had not been officially recognized yet. Even if her family indulged her, there was a certain limit. At least she wanted to show her family that she was still a healthy and intact "person."
, nothing unexpected happened. After playing nice for a few days at home, she finally had the chance to come out of the cage again. However, Tan Xuan didn't come for a long time, which made Xiao Di very annoyed.
"I haven't forgotten." Tan Xuan on the other side of the phone was dumbfounded. He had promised those people to spend Christmas Eve together, and he hadn't forgotten either. It was just that he had forgotten which day Christmas Eve was. It had only been two days since he had been
Xiao Dier's advice made him feel confused.
Tan Xuan didn't dare to explain. He got up, cleaned up and hurried to the Xiao family. If this made those people feel neglected, then tonight's consumption would definitely make him feel heartbroken.
Tan Xuan handed the apple he just snatched from Qian Bo's house to Xiao Di as if it were a treasure, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I heard someone said that I wanted to eat Ping'an fruit today, but I found several places to buy it.
, and it’s the last one, this can be considered Fulgrim.”
Xiao Di looked at the apple and saw that there was a card on it that he had not yet picked up. After glaring at Tan Xuan, he took off the card and threw the apple to Xiao Yu behind him. "It's a foreigner's festival, but we still have to play domestic games."
Homophonic meme, you are so fashionable. Come on, don’t let brother and sister Qin wait too long. I don’t know how they chose their new house today."
"Okay." Seeing the card in Xiao Di's hand, Tan Xuan chuckled, kicked the accelerator and led the two sisters out of the community gate.
Tan Xuan doesn't know how foreigners spend Christmas Eve, because he has never been to foreign countries and has never had contact with foreigners, let alone discussing their customs with foreigners. Anyway, people in China spend a lot of time.
Yes, the shopping malls and restaurants were overcrowded, and they were all young people. They must have been holding back for a long time, and now they finally found a high-sounding excuse to indulge, not caring about the biting cold wind in the winter night.
Tan Xuan drove the car, but Xiao Yu pointed out the road. When they arrived at the destination, Tan Xuan was a little confused because they were coming to a KTV.
"No, shouldn't we have something to eat first? Why did we come directly to a place like this?"
Tan Xuan was very puzzled. After all, in his mind, eating, drinking and having fun came first. After all, having fun must be done after you have had enough wine and food.
"You're so old-fashioned, who told you that you can't eat here? Park the car quickly, I guess Brother Zheng and the others have already arrived."
Not only did Xiao Zheng and Qin Sixian arrive, but they also had some food. When Tan Xuan arrived in the private room, he discovered that hot pot was even available in this KTV, and it was also seafood hot pot.
"This..." Tan Xuan was a little confused. It was not that poverty limited his imagination, but that he had never thought about spending money like this. It seems that the last time he talked about a restaurant where you could sing, it was when he was a child. Tan Xuan
I don’t know whether society has progressed, regressed, or just stood still.
"Here we come, Si Xian and I looked at the house all afternoon and didn't eat a bite, so we ate a little first. You guys should sit down and eat too."
Xiao Zheng said hello to everyone and then bowed her head again. Tan Xuan did not pretend to be polite, as if someone had eaten. He would not be content with others.
The order of eating, drinking and having fun has not changed. You still have to eat and drink before you start playing, and it is seamless. There is no need to change places when you are drunk and crazy.
"Tan Xuan, what song do you like, I'll choose it for you." Xiao Zheng, who had drunk too much, took the initiative again.
Tan Xuan shook his head, "I can't sing, but it's good to hear them sing."
Xiao Zheng stared at Tan Xuan for a while, then took the bottle and took a sip, "You are so boring."
Tan Xuan laughed, but did not point out the fact that Xiao Zheng was also squeezed by several women. He took out his mobile phone and looked at it. There was no signal in this poor place. Fortunately, the account number and password of the wireless network here were posted on the wall.
Tan Xuan connected to the wireless network here, and the phone's notification tone kept ringing. It was all sent by Huang Jingming, and there were more than a dozen voice messages.
When he opened the chat software, Tan Xuan stood up immediately because all he received were Huang Jingming's distress messages.
