She parked the car on the side and got out of the car with me. Today was New Year's Eve after all, and there were no people here to eat at all. However, when we sat down, the boss immediately greeted us warmly, "Officer Tong,
Today is the Chinese New Year, why do you come to my place for dinner?"
Tong Yao smiled and said, "Isn't it possible?"
The boss said repeatedly: "Okay, okay."
Tong Yao ordered: "Here are some of our favorite dishes. Then go and do your own work. I will call you if something happens."
The boss agreed repeatedly and went. At this time, Tong Yao said to me: "Feng Xiao, try the taste here, you must like it."
Soon, the boss brought the dishes, and the soup in the pot was boiling quickly. I picked up a piece of tripe and boiled it. Well, it tasted really good.
What I didn't expect was that this hotpot restaurant would later become the place where I would meet her in an emergency, because only the two of us knew we had been here.
The wine Tong Yao took from my car was a bottle of Wuliangye. She smiled and said to me: "I want to be corrupt today too."
I laughed immediately.
In fact, I have already felt that she called me out today not just to drink with me.
She raised her glass to me and said to me with a smile: "Feng Xiao, happy Spring Festival."
I went to clink glasses with her, with a smile on my face, "Tong Yao, I also wish you a happy Spring Festival, and I wish you all the best, health and happiness in the new year."
She laughed, "As a mayor, you are better at talking than me."
I said, "I can't speak, okay? This is my sincere blessing to you."
We drank together, and I hurriedly went to fill the small wine glass in front of her, and then mine. While scalding the dishes, I said: "Tong Yao, Fang Qiang is not able to come to celebrate the Spring Festival with you tonight, so tomorrow would be the best
You'd better go to his house. Festivals like the Spring Festival have different special meanings, and it's not good for you to keep delaying them like this."
She glanced at me with a strange look in her eyes. I hurriedly said: "Tong Yao, I don't mean anything else. Since you don't choose me, I don't blame you, because I know where my problem is and how big it is.
.However, I should wish you happiness, and wish you happiness from the bottom of my heart. So, what I just said is completely from the bottom of my heart."
A touched look appeared on her face, and then she raised her glass and drank it all. I drank too. She picked up the wine bottle and filled her own glass, and then poured it for me.
She drank it again.
I looked at her doubtfully, "Tong Yao, what's wrong with you today? Have you encountered anything unhappy? If possible, tell me and let me listen. Maybe I can help you."
But she shook her head and said: "There is nothing unhappy, I just feel very upset. Come on, Feng Xiao, let's drink. Maybe we won't be upset when we get drunk."
I looked at her and said, "Tong Yao, let's not drink in such a hurry, okay? Please tell me why you are upset? What are you upset about?"
She shook her head slightly and said, "I don't know either. I'm just upset."
I immediately connected what happened today and seemed to understand a little bit. After pondering for a moment, I said to her: "Tong Yao, you are worried about your marriage, right? You told me before, if
You won’t get married until you solve Tong Yangxi’s case. In fact, I think your idea is wrong, because whether you get married or not has nothing to do with solving the case. I know that you want to express yourself in this way.
Determination, but also to express my inner apology to the deceased Tong Yangxi. But have you ever thought about whether this will work? If Tong Yangxi’s soul knew in heaven, he would not let you do this. You guys
This job is always facing danger, and sacrifices may occur at any time. This is determined by the nature of your profession. However, this has nothing to do with your marriage, and I think the more this situation happens, the more difficult it is for you and Fang Qiang.
The sooner you should get married. Also, if your mother is so anxious, you should also understand her feelings as a mother."
But she was still shaking her head, then picked up the glass and drank it. I said to her hurriedly: "Tong Yao, don't drink like this. What's wrong? Can you tell me?"
She said: "Let's have a drink. I think after drinking, I will feel less upset. Are you not willing to drink with me?"
I hurriedly said: "Yes, of course I am. But Tong Yao, I feel very uncomfortable when I see you like this."
She glanced at me and said, "Feng Xiao, where do you talk so much? Eat and drink. In my eyes, you are always my friend, not the mayor. You won't be angry if I say this, right?"
I shook my head, sighed and said, "I'm never really angry with you. You know that."
She was stunned, looking blankly at the hot pot soup that was boiling in the pot in front of her. After a while, she also sighed, "Feng Xiao, you are good at everything, but your life is too disorderly. You are like this
It’s a problem that no woman can accept.”
I smiled awkwardly, "Tong Yao, can you please stop talking about this matter? Some things have passed and become facts, and I can't erase them. I am a weak-willed person and indulge myself too much. I don't care about this.
I know. But now I am trying my best to correct it. I know that I was wrong in the past, but those things have become a fact. What can I do?"
She sighed softly, "I know, I know it's pointless to blame you too much now. But, Feng Xiao, have you ever thought about my feelings? Now the person I feel most sorry for is Fang Qiang.
.What you just said is right, Tong Yangxi’s matter has nothing to do with my personal marriage. But I feel that I am sorry for Fang Qiang...Hey!"
I immediately understood why she was upset. Because of the relationship I had with her, she felt guilty about Fang Qiang in her heart. This was why she had been unable to get along with Fang Qiang.
The real reason for forced marriage.
I felt very guilty about this, "Tong Yao, I'm sorry..."
She shook her head, picked up the glass and drank again, "Don't say sorry to me. We are all adults, and we have the ability to discern what we do for ourselves. It's just that I feel very tired and in pain now. In fact, I am
You know, the person I really like is still Fang Qiang, and I also have some feelings for you. Feng Xiao, tell me, what should I do now? "
I couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and drink it, "Tong Yao, I still say the same thing, if you can accept me, I will truly correct and correct all my shortcomings. Really. You know your place in my heart.
How important it is.”
She shook her head, "Feng Xiao, I know. But I really can't accept your past. I can accept your previous marriage, including your children. In fact, I also like your son very much, and he likes me too. But
I just can't accept the fact that you have had so many women. Although I believe you will not make that mistake again in the future, I dare not completely trust my judgment. You are the mayor and have a high position.
, maybe you will have more power in the future. I can’t completely believe that you will never make that mistake again. Feng Xiao, can you promise me that you will definitely not make that mistake again in the future?
You made a mistake and will never have the slightest entanglement with those women from your past?"
I immediately said: "I can guarantee it. Really, I can guarantee it."
But she was still shaking her head, "Feng Xiao, you can't guarantee it. I don't know you yet? Yes, you can guarantee it in front of me now, but what about the future? In the future, when our feelings fade over time, can you still
Guaranteed? You know it yourself. Ultimately, you are a weak-willed person. Therefore, I am not willing to gamble my life."
I immediately fell silent because her words touched upon the most essential part of who I am.
She was looking at me, "Feng Xiao, maybe I take some issues too seriously, but a person's views and concepts on some things cannot be changed, so it is impossible for us to get together. In fact, we
Our personalities are not suitable for each other. You give up to me in everything now because you like me. If we have been together for a long time and the relationship between us has become indifferent, you will feel that my personality is no longer suitable.
It’s unbearable. That’s for sure.”
At this moment, my heart suddenly felt dull, and a faint sadness suddenly surged from my heart. Although I no longer had any hope for our relationship, her previous words ignited my hope again. And now.
, my glimmer of hope was ruthlessly extinguished by her again.
I also started drinking.
We finished the bottle of wine quickly, and I asked her: "Do you still want to drink? If you want to drink, I will get another bottle."
She shook her head and said: "Don't drink. You might get drunk again... Feng Xiao, we can't make that kind of mistake again. If we make a mistake again after we know it's wrong, then that's not right. Let's go back."
I nodded. Actually, I had no intention of continuing to make mistakes with her, but when she said this, I still felt a little sad.
I went to pay the bill, but Tong Yao said to me: "I'll do it. I'll pay for the food today, and you'll pay for the wine."
I ignored her and went directly to the boss to pay. It was very cheap, less than a hundred yuan.
After we went out, she looked at me and said, "You have more money anyway. That's fine. By the way, take the car keys and drive it yourself."
I looked at her in surprise, "Why didn't you open it?"
She shook her head and said, "I don't feel like that anymore."
I shook my head and sighed in my heart. I knew that she might be struggling with that matter in her heart, but I didn't know how to comfort her. At the same time, I also knew in my heart that this matter could only be solved.
It was up to her to figure it out and untie the knot in her heart.
I drove out of the alley, and when I reached the main road, she suddenly said to me: "I don't want to go back right away, let's go to the riverside in the suburbs. We will spend the New Year there."
May I?"
My heart suddenly stirred up, and I nodded immediately, "Okay!"
Immediately, I stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the suburbs.
Soon, I drove the car to the riverside in the suburbs. There were no city street lights here, but there were still lights from afar reflecting on it, and everything in front of me was hazy.
We found a dry place and sat down. The river breeze blew across our faces, and I suddenly felt a chill. She sat there quietly next to me, looking at the hazy river surface. I took off my clothes.
He took off his coat and put it on her body.
She said: "I'm not cold."
I said to her softly: "I know you are cold. Put it on."
She suddenly said quietly: "Feng Xiao, don't be so nice to me. Okay?" (To be continued)
