Soon the coldness washed away from Zhang Haidong's body.
Maybe it was almost time to get off work, so there were fewer people taking the bus to the city, allowing Zhang Haidong to sit in a very comfortable seat.
With the warm air-conditioned wind blowing on his face and looking at the scenery slowly passing by outside the car window, he kept organizing in his mind what he wanted to say to Huang Wenying later.
In any case, he hoped to penetrate Huang Wenying's heart and open a hole in her.
When the bus was about to arrive, he received a call from Huang Wenying.
"I'm in Baicao Bookstore. I'm in private room No. 7. You can just come in and find a private room. By the way, what kind of coffee do you drink?"
Huang Wenying asked on the other end of the phone.
"Whatever. Just warm up. I'm almost there."
Zhang Haidong replied.
"Ok, I will wait for you."
…
After a while, the swaying bus finally stopped at the station.
Zhang Haidong wrapped up his clothes before walking down.
The warm air has been blowing in the car for a long time, and when it encounters the cold wind, my whole body shivers with cold.
After a few hesitations, he quickly walked towards the cafe not far away.
This is the most famous cafe nearby, known as an antique cafe.
But every time Zhang Haidong sees this name, he will think of the article in the junior high school Chinese textbook: From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore. I wonder if the boss used these two names when he chose the name.
Usually couples and office workers nearby like to come here to sit. I heard that sitting here is much more comfortable than Starbucks.
Today is just the time to feel it.
As expected, Zhang Haidong was shocked by the antique decoration here as soon as he entered the door.
The luxurious mahogany table is made into a classical octagonal shape, with an ancient Song style loft on the top. In the center of the hall, there is a female artist wearing Hanfu and playing the pipa. Listening to the song, it seems to be "Pipa"
OK".
Everything makes this place look so stylish.
No wonder everyone said yes.
True to its name.
The lovers sat on the table, listening to pipa music, drinking coffee, and chatting quietly.
From time to time, you can see girls giggling.
At this time, the waiter came over.
"Hello sir, may I ask who you are?"
"Oh no, I'm here to see a friend. My friend opened private room No. 7 here."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
…
There is a small square table in the private room. The difference is that there are many patterns on it, all of which are sweet and cute patterns between couples. It seems to be used to stimulate the atmosphere between couples.
There is a large fish tank directly opposite, and a small red goldfish is swimming happily inside.
Huang Wenying sat across from the small table, gently stirring the coffee.
When Zhang Haidong saw her, his eyes immediately widened.
I don’t know if it was because she was in love with Liu Shan, but Huang Wenying, who has always been aloof and likes to wear formal clothes, actually wore pink clothes for the first time, which made her originally somewhat domineering and cold workplace femininity disappear completely.
On the contrary, it seems to add some cuteness.
Does love really make a person younger?
Seeing Zhang Haidong frozen in place, Huang Wenying immediately pursed her lips and smiled.
"Why, you haven't seen me for a few days and you have forgotten what I look like? Or maybe you saw me change my clothes and became cute, and now I like me a little bit more! This dress is the latest sweet pet outfit from Gloria Company, you
how do you feel?"
"Okay...it looks pretty..."
Zhang Haidong replied.
"Just good-looking?"
"Uh... looks cute?"
"That's right! It's just cute! The sweet pet costume is specially designed to make people love you!"
Huang Wenying said with a smile.
Only then did Zhang Haidong sit down.
"I ordered you original coffee. You can order whatever you want, don't you mind."
"It's okay, I'm not picky about food. I can drink any kind of coffee."
Zhang Haidong stirred it with a spoon, then took a sip.
A sweet, warm smell suddenly came over me.
The air conditioner was still blowing in the private room, so Zhang Haidong took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.
"You look like you're okay. After Liu Shan went back, he was so drunk that he was unconscious. He lay there groaning and couldn't move. It took me a lot of effort to remove his body.
Take off his coat so that he can sleep better. By the way, if you have anything to talk to me about, just say it."
Huang Wenying said with a smile.
Zhang Haidong gritted his teeth, gently stirred the coffee in the cup, and then said: "This is between Liu Shan and you."
Upon hearing this, Huang Wenying was startled.
But she seemed to have expected it, and then nodded and said: "You tell me."
is a wise man.
In Zhang Haidong's eyes, Huang Wenying has always been a super working woman, extremely smart.
People who can thrive in the workplace are smart people.
Now it seems that it is indeed the case.
She already knew what she wanted to talk about, that's why she was so calm and collected.
In this way, the conversation between the two parties may be better carried out.
"He has a wife and children, and he is not divorced yet. His wife has been in love since high school, and I have been watching him pursue her. She is a very dedicated woman who has been with him for ten years. The children are like them
The fruit of years of love, I was born just last year, just one year old."
After going through the organized language, Zhang Haidong said slowly.
"..."
Huang Wenying fell silent.
The solemn look on her face represented her mood at this time.
The movement of quickly stirring the coffee in her hand represents her state of mind at this time.
After taking a long breath, she said: "I know, I have known it from the beginning. He has not lied to me. He has confessed to me since the beginning of chasing me. But he explained to me seriously.
It's over, he doesn't love you anymore, you have to let it go. Those are all his housework, and he will definitely handle it."
Huang Wenying said solemnly.
"..."
Zhang Haidong was stunned for a moment, and then said quickly: "Then since you know that he has a wife and children, why did you agree to be with him? His wife doesn't know that you are with him. If his wife knows, you
Do you know how sad it will be? Do you know what the fuss will be like?"
"I don't know. I have never forced him. I let him solve everything by himself. I can't participate in these things. Since he is frustrated, he should deal with those things instead.
Leave it to me to handle it. You don’t have to come to me to ask for my opinion.”
Huang Wenying made a splash.
Zhang Haidong was stunned.
There is nothing wrong with what I said.
After all, it was Liu Shan who took the initiative to pursue him, and others just passively accepted it.
People who take good care of themselves are always much better than taking good care of others.
Because all these matters were handled by Liu Shan.
But then he understood immediately.
Huang Wenying did not answer her question directly, as if she was escaping from something.
It seems that I must increase my efforts to talk to her in order to achieve the results I want.
Thinking of this, he said directly: "You should know that a married person, especially a man, has a heavy sense of family responsibility on his shoulders.
Whatever he does, he must consider his other half and his children.
If he has lost even the most basic sense of family responsibility, do you think that such a morally corrupt person will have a chance to shoulder the responsibility of the family again?
Yes, that's completely impossible.
Family responsibility is an obligation. Only when a person is willing to shoulder the responsibility for a long time can he become a responsible and responsible man. I think that since you have chosen marriage, you should do it from beginning to end."
In fact, Zhang Haidong also felt a little guilty.
Despite his righteous words, he actually lied.
At least the previous "self" also cheated on me.
Strictly speaking, he was not qualified to say that.
But only such righteous words may be able to convince Huang Wenying.
"Moreover, it is extremely immoral for you to be with Liu Shan now. In the eyes of everyone, your current status is that of a mistress. You know that the title of mistress has always been a reviled title.
.You wouldn’t want such a title to be with you all the time. Whether it’s legal or moral, you are untenable.”
Having said this, Zhang Haidong looked at Huang Wenying and said seriously: "So, I hope you can leave Liu Shan and find a better husband. Is that okay? The world is so big that you can't find a husband you love.
?”
After saying that, he stared at Huang Wenying closely, waiting for her answer.
Huang Wenying remained silent.
After hearing Zhang Haidong's last request, her face finally darkened.
Looking at Huang Wenying's somewhat unkind expression, Zhang Haidong asked doubtfully: "Can't I leave? Is there any trouble?"
"No trouble! I just don't want to!"
Huang Wenying's voice was so loud that she finally broke out.
"You will only look at problems from your own perspective. Have you ever thought about it from my perspective? Have you ever thought about it from Liu Shan's perspective? You haven't! You only want to think about what you think is right.
Force it on others!"
Huang Wenying's voice was very harsh, and Zhang Haidong could only listen.
"Have you ever really cared about Liu Shan? He is very tired, he is almost out of breath! Every night when he comes home from get off work, he has to cook for his wife and children! If he is not satisfied with what he does, or If you are too tired and don’t want to do anything, order takeout. There will be quarrels and even groundless accusations! If you want to lend some money to a friend, your wife will lose her temper. If you want to socialize with the boss, your wife will also make a fuss! Apart from losing tempers and arguing, there is no normal communication between husband and wife! Do you think it is necessary for such a marriage to continue to exist? Is it necessary?"
Huang Wenying asked loudly.
"As a friend, have you ever put yourself in my position and help me think about the problem! I am already 29 years old! Do you know that I am 29 years old? 29 years old is such a desperate age for a woman! No more
In one year, I will be classified as a leftover girl! I will be classified as an advanced maternal age! No one of my peers is living with a child of several years old, except me! My parents fought for me all their lives, until they died of exhaustion.
You didn’t see me bringing my boyfriend home! Now my mother is also terminally ill. Do you want me to watch my mother leave this world with regrets? Why! Why do you!"
