I felt uncomfortable even before we set off. But I had to go on this trip. There was no way around it.
Then I applied for a UnionPay card that can be used for overseas purchases, and also bought several martial arts novels, which I planned to read on the plane.
One day before leaving, Kang Demao called me. He asked me: "Feng Xiao, do you know that Ning Xiangru is in love?"
I immediately didn't know how to answer, because I didn't know his intention in asking me about this matter. So I had to use a vague language, "Really?"
He said: "It's like this. I also heard what others said. I haven't contacted her for a long time. Feng Xiao, you should pay attention to her."
I said: "Okay. I'll ask her."
He said: "Feng Xiao, after all we are fellow villagers. It is not convenient for me to contact her now, but I still care about her very much, so you should ask her and tell me if you have any news. Then we will
Let’s go and congratulate her together.”
I said, "Okay. I'll call you after I understand the situation."
After hanging up the phone, I suddenly felt a little awkward, because I suddenly realized something: there seemed to be a sense of distance between myself and Kang Demao.
What he just said made it very clear that he didn't want me to know about his recent relationship with Ning Xiangru. I understand him very well, because after all, I introduced Dingxiang to him. However, he and I are classmates.
?Didn’t I tell him everything before? Even though I have never told him about the relationship between Lin Yu and me, I feel that he should know it in his heart, but we are trying to avoid each other.
That's just the topic. Apart from that, he almost always knows about my relationship with other women. No, it seems that Chang Bailing's matter should be excluded.
However, I feel guilty about Ning Xiangru, so I didn’t dare to admit that I knew the specific situation in the phone call he just made. Therefore, the sense of distance between us should be that we
caused together.
After I understand this matter, the sense of distance disappears. In fact, the gap or sense of distance between people comes from the incomprehension of both parties. After people understand each other, the sense of distance disappears.
will become close to zero.
However, I feel that I still have to contact Ning Xiangru, because she and I must have a unified voice that can answer Kang Demao.
I don't think it's convenient to talk about this matter on the phone, because it involves her personal emotions and the development of her relationship with Kang Demao in the future. Such an issue is not a simple matter and should be discussed with her in person.
most.
I feel that this is not me being nosy, but entirely out of concern for my friends. In fact, I have already jumped out of this matter, so it is very necessary for me to do some work in it. In the words of Kang Demao
One thing I believe is true is that he is very concerned about Ning Xiangru's future.
After making the call, Ning Xiangru told me that she was in her office, and I immediately drove to her place.
When I entered her office, I saw Dong Jie. She was holding a folder and asking Ning Xiangru to sign it.
"Dong Jie, go and get your brother Feng a cup of tea." Ning Xiangru immediately ordered Dong Jie.
I hurriedly corrected her, "Mr. Ning, you are wrong. Xiao Dong should call me Uncle Feng."
Ning Xiangru smiled and said to me: "Ask her, what does she call me in private?"
Of course I wouldn't ask, and then said to Dong Jie: "No need to make tea, I want to talk to you and Mr. Ning about something, don't let other people disturb us."
Dong Jie's face was already red, and she nodded to me and went out, closing the door of Ning Xiangru's office.
"You..." Ning Xiangru sighed and said to me after asking me to sit down.
"Don't make jokes like that with her. Little girls can be easily misled." I said.
"I asked her, and she said she has a crush on you. Hehe! Of course, she answered me very coyly. Feng Xiao, I can see that this little girl likes you very much." She
smiled.
"You really shouldn't make such a joke, it might hurt a girl's heart. If something happens then it will be in trouble. You are also from her age, why don't you
Do you understand the mental state of a girl of her age?" I said to her seriously.
She asked me: "Feng Xiao, do you really not have that feeling for her? I think this girl is really good."
I waved my hand quickly, "Stop it. Why do you like to do this kind of thing? How old am I? If I really like a woman, wouldn't I pursue it myself? You are completely
It complicates a simple problem."
But she came to me in surprise and asked: "I like it too? Then who else has told you about this?"
I suddenly realized that I had accidentally let something slip. So I hurriedly said: "No. I just said that, and there was something wrong with my expression. Xiangru, don't talk about this matter. I'm here today."
I have another thing to ask you for."
She said: "Of course I know that you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Okay, tell me, what's the matter?"
So I asked her: "Does Demao know about the matter between you and Teacher Luo?"
She was silent for a moment.
I looked at her and continued: "De Mao asked me to find out about your recent situation. He said he cares about you very much."
She shook her head and then said softly: "He cares about me not because of my affair with Lao Luo, but because I refuse to see him again. You reminded me that day that I was right. If I continue to be with him, it will only affect
His family will also treat me badly in the future."
I nodded, "Yes. But, how do you think I should tell him about this?"
She didn't answer me, but asked me back: "Feng Xiao, do you think he really cares about me? Do you think he really likes me? No, right? He is just because of his wife's recent
She's pregnant, so he just needs a woman for him to vent. Do you think that's the case?"
In my heart, the answers to the questions she just asked were very clear, but I couldn't answer her directly because we were talking about Kang Demao. I said: "I don't think that's entirely the case.
After all, he still has some feelings for you."
She was still shaking her head, "Feng Xiao, I don't want to talk about this matter anymore. It's meaningless. Now when I think of him, I feel very uncomfortable. Feng Xiao, you and he are classmates and good friends. Originally,
I shouldn't say bad things about him in front of you, but since you asked me about this matter today, I think it's better to say some things. Kang Demao is a very capable and motivated person, but
He has his own weakness, that is, he was born in poverty since he was young, so he has extremely low self-esteem in his heart. But he tries his best to cover up the low self-esteem in his heart, and desperately wants to use his career achievements to eliminate the low self-esteem in his heart.
It's an inferiority complex. It's the same thing with him and me. He just wants to prove his excellence by getting me. I know completely in my heart that he has no real feelings for me at all.
It's a pity that I already had some feelings for him, so I almost couldn't help myself."
I hurriedly said: "Xiangru, maybe you are right. But I think it is completely natural, because none of us can escape the influence of various shadows of life before we become adults on our future.
Because those shadows have been deeply engraved in our hearts. This is something that psychological research has confirmed. But I think the biggest advantage of Demao is his fighting spirit. If he didn’t have such a
If he had been angry, he would not have achieved what he has today. As for the matter between him and you, I still believe that he has some feelings for you, otherwise he would not contact you at such a critical moment in his life.
.Have you ever thought about it? How difficult it was for him to get to where he is today, but he came to be with you at this time when he was about to go to a place to govern. Of course, there may be him showing you his excellent heart.
Thoughts, but you have to admit the fact that he has certain feelings for you. Because there is no need for a man to show anything to a woman he doesn’t care about. Xiangru, do you think so? However, this
Everything is over, and I think you did the right thing. By doing this, you not only achieved yourself, but also helped him. So, I want to thank you for Demao."
She shook her head, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.
I looked at her, sighed and stood up, "Xiangru, I'm leaving."
She was still sitting there, as if she hadn't heard anything. I left immediately. At this time, I already knew how to reply to Kang Demao.
After getting in the car, I picked up the phone and called Kang Demao, "De Mao, I just came out from Ning Xiangru's place. It's like that, she is now in a relationship with her child's teacher. I asked her, and she said they are now
The relationship is very good. Demao, you should be relieved now, right? I think our biggest concern for her is that we hope she can live a happy life in the future. Do you think that is the case? "
He said: "Oh...I know."
I said again: "De Mao, you are right to ask me to ask about this matter. After all, this is your most critical time. It will be troublesome if others maliciously gossip about you. So I think there are some things you
It’s better not to ask about it for now.”
Of course I am doing this to remind him. Moreover, I am still worried about another thing: what if he gets involved with that Tao Tao now? So I feel that it is particularly necessary for me to remind him now.
He said: "Well, I'm talking to someone else. Feng Xiao, that's it."
He hung up the phone immediately. I don’t know why, but I don’t think he was really talking to anyone about anything right now, but he might be feeling very lost. (To be continued)
