Tang Ming resettled her on the bed in the guest room, turned and walked into the living room, and came back a moment later with a small dining cart in his hand.
Pushing the dining cart to the side of her bed, he lifted the golden lid of the dining cart, revealing the hot porridge and a few light side dishes.
"Come, have something to eat, and let's chat while we eat."
Tang Ming helped her fill a bowl of porridge with his own hands and blew it to cool down carefully. Tang Ming brought the porridge bowl to her, filled the porridge with a spoon and put it to her mouth.
"I'll do it myself." Xu Pei raised his hand to hold the bowl.
Tang Ming didn't insist too much. He watched her take a few mouthfuls of porridge and then asked, "Do you really like Zimo?"
"Don't you know this best?" Xu Pei looked down at the porridge in the bowl and gently supported it with a spoon.
Tang Ming, like Huangfu Ao, Shen Yizhou and Tong Ya, all grew up in the compound with Leng Zimo and Xu Pei.
But later, the Huangfu family, the Shen family, and the Tong family moved out of the compound one after another due to transfers. However, Xu Pei and Tang Ming had the same problem, and they also left the compound because of their family's downfall.
Fortunately, Xu Pei was taken in by the Leng family, but Tang Ming was not so lucky.
After his father committed suicide by swallowing a gun for unknown reasons, his mother took him out of the compound and later took him to get married.
Because of the similar experiences between the two of them, although Tang Ming was not very close to Leng Zimo and the others, he kept in touch with Xu Pei. Although one of them was in the United States and the other in Europe, they actually communicated by email from time to time. When Tang Ming went to the United States for business, the two of them would play and eat together.
It is precisely for this reason that Xu Pei, who has always been strong, never tells Shen Yizhou and Tong Ya about his difficulties, but is more willing to share his own affairs with Tang Ming.
The two encourage and help each other. It can be said that Tang Ming has been Xu Pei's best friend for so many years. Including her feelings for Leng Zimo, she has hidden it from everyone, only to Tang Ming, she has revealed it Some.
Taking the empty porridge bowl from her hand and filling her with another bowl of porridge, Tang Ming raised his hand to take off his glasses and wiped the moisture from them with a handkerchief, "Xiao Pei, I know, I'm like this You may not like to hear it, but things like feelings cannot be forced. Since Zimo has someone he likes now, why are you still so obsessed?"
"Because Luo Xiaoqian is not worthy of me!" Xu Pei gritted his teeth, "Besides, I won't give in!"
Tang Ming raised the corners of his lips very gently, "The latter reason is the most important, right?"
"That's right, I'm just not willing to give in!" Xu Pei squeezed the spoon in his hand with his fingers, "It's been ten years. I've been working hard for him for ten years. I've been waiting for him for ten years. How could he change just as he said? Betrayal is betrayal, have all the consciences of you men been eaten by dogs?"
Tang Ming was startled.
"I'm not talking about you!" Xu Pei sighed, "I know that you are different from them. Whether it's Huangfu Ao or Yi Zhou... they can't understand us because they are always at a high place and never know. They will never understand how painful it is to fall from a height, and they never know how much effort it takes to climb up again."
"In this case, you can't be so decadent. After so many years of hard work, do you give up so easily?!"
