After Hong Yunxi walked out, Zhu Tingxiao looked at Hongxiu with affectionate eyes and said softly: "We haven't been alone together for a long time."
His attitude made Hong Xiu feel uncomfortable. The corners of Hong Xiu's lips were slightly raised, and he said with some caution:
"We are not friends, and it is not appropriate to be alone together... Besides, I am getting married to Guan Beilin, and I don't want to be too friendly with a man who has thoughts about me."
Although her marriage to Guan Beilin has not been confirmed yet, she thinks that for this reason, if Zhu Tingxiao is smart, he will understand what she means and won't bother her anymore, right?
However, when Zhu Tingxiao heard this, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
But he was no longer so angry, and he laughed softly, with a somewhat sad feeling in his laughter.
"In the end, it was too late for me to meet you... Hongxiu, it would be great if I could have met you earlier. If you had been by my side at that time, maybe I wouldn't be like this now."
As Zhu Tingxiao spoke, tears began to fall.
When Hongxiu saw this, her eyes opened wide.
Is she crazy? A man is crying in front of her?
She never thought that something like this would happen.
Hong Xiu rubbed her temples, and then said: "Um... Zhu Tingxiao, don't cry first, please speak well. Really... I ask you to speak well."
Don't cry when you disagree, okay?
Will she die speechless?
Zhu Tingxiao knew that no girl could stand a man crying, and Hongxiu was just an ordinary little girl.
Then, Zhu Tingxiao continued to say: "Hongxiu, I have never told you my story, right?"
Hongxiu rubbed her temples, and then said slowly: "No matter what story you have, don't cry yet, I'm so scared when I see it."
How terrible it was for a tall man, who was about 1.8 meters tall, to suddenly cry in front of her.
She really couldn't accept it.
Zhu Tingxiao picked up a tissue, wiped the corners of his eyes, and then said in a guilty tone: "I'm so sorry, Hongxiu, for making you laugh."
Hongxiu smiled and said nothing, but thought it was too weird for a man to cry.
Maybe the men around her are tough and have never cried before. Anyway, seeing Zhu Tingxiao crying like this, Hongxiu couldn't stand it.
After about a while, Zhu Tingxiao sorted out his image.
At this time, Hong Yunxi also came back with wine.
"Auntie, I personally selected this wine. You can also drink it when you are in Tianfang Thirteen Cities." Hong Yunxi handed the wine to the waiters and asked them to help Hong Xiu and Zhu Tingxiao pour the wine.
Immediately afterwards, I heard Zhu Tingxiao say: "Kid Yunxi is probably really destined to me. When he knows that I have a story, he must choose this kind of wine."
Hong Xiu rubbed her temples, and then said: "I won't drink more, just one cup is enough. It's a thank you for taking care of Hong Yunxi."
"Okay, whatever you say is fine, I respect your decision." Zhu Tingxiao said softly.
Then, he saw the waiter hand over the drink, then Zhu Tingxiao raised the glass, took a few sips, and then slowly spoke:
"Hongxiu, you may not know that the reason why I treat many girls badly is because I was hurt when I was just an adult."
Hong Xiu hummed. She really had no interest in opening other people's wounds.
But seeing that the other party was staring at her, with an expression that seemed to tell her clearly immediately, Hong Xiu did not interrupt.
He just casually picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine.
Opposite me, Zhu Tingxiao saw her drinking, his eyes darkened, and then he said: "Hongxiu, I was not a prodigal in love before. I was very passionate and simple towards many people and many things."
"But then... when I just became an adult, I met a woman. She was like the sun at first, shining brightly on me. And I just admired her because she was older than me, so to speak, she was at the age of my mother.
"
Hongxiu raised her eyebrows slightly, she really didn't expect that Zhu Tingxiao would encounter such a thing when he was young.
Immediately afterwards, I heard Zhu Tingxiao continue to say: "She is getting closer to me little by little, sometimes like an elder, sometimes like a sister. I like the feeling of getting along with her very much."
"Until that night, she suddenly controlled me with a drug, and then locked me in the basement of her villa... You should be able to imagine what happened next, right?"
Hongxiu held her forehead. It was really unexpected. Does that mean Zhu Tingxiao was bullied?
If this is the case, then Zhu Tingxiao is really pitiful as a man.
But poor people must be hateful, and this is not the reason for them to hurt other people.
"For seven days, I was locked up in that basement like an animal. I couldn't get any light at all, and I couldn't see the future... I was going crazy."
"I told her to let me go. As long as I let me go, I can fall in love with her like a normal person. But she doesn't need it. She just enjoys this process."
"In the end, when she let me out, she chased me out like a dog. My life completely changed because of her."
"I think women will always be more hostile because of her, and even can't help but hurt those people...until you appear."
"You are like a light that just shines in my world... I don't want to lose you and then use some wrong methods to pursue you."
"Now I know I was wrong, and I don't want you to be unhappy... So, Hongxiu, I will let go. I support you to follow Guan Beilin, and I will keep my feelings for you in my heart."
After saying that, Zhu Tingxiao raised his head and drank a glass of wine, asked the waiter to add more wine to him, and then took a deep breath before continuing:
"Hongxiu, are you willing to clink glasses with me? For my sad past?"
Hong Xiu did not refuse. She only had one idea now: finish the glass and leave with Hong Yunxi.
Because some topics are really not suitable for children to listen to.
No matter what Zhu Tingxiao thinks, it is inappropriate for Hong Yunxi to listen to her like this.
So the two clinked glasses.
Hongxiu raised her head and drank all the wine in the cup.
But when she was about to leave, she suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if something was moving around, almost driving her crazy.
The moment she was about to lose control, Zhu Tingxiao came over, quickly supported her, and said softly: "Hongxiu, do you feel uncomfortable? I feel uncomfortable too, let's... why not go to the hospital?"
Hong Xiu felt that her breathing was a little heavier. She pushed the man away and said coldly: "No, I can just take Hong Yunxi back."
Seeing that Hong Xiu was clearly reacting and still wanted to take her back, Hong Yunxi said she didn't understand, "Auntie, you're already feeling uncomfortable, why don't you stay?"
