Sister Zhao raised her head and moved lightly, standing in front of Lao Tan and looking at him.
"Hug sister." she said.
Lao Tan hugged Sister Zhao into his arms and held her tightly.
Sister Zhao hugged Lao Tan's waist, pressed her face into his chest, rested her head on his chin, and closed her eyes.
At this moment, the world was quiet, the sea breeze caressed the waves, and the sea became gentle.
"Thank you for coming to accompany me." Sister Zhao said without raising her head and still had her eyes closed.
Lao Tan said nothing and stroked Sister Zhao's hair, his heart full of love.
To be honest, he enjoyed this moment very much and was also very confused.
Sister Zhao at this moment is not a sister, but a woman.
But there is another voice in my heart - she is a sister, just like my sister at home. She can hug her but can't think about anything else.
But the reality is that he is a man and Sister Zhao is a woman. Men and women have feelings together, not to mention they are two people who have a very deep friendship and an extraordinary relationship.
If we could go back to twenty-four years ago and start all over again, the two people might break through the age limit and come together to become a family, because there were no Yaru and Lin Yan at that time.
It's just that the fate of the two people was intertwined. They were separated for ten years and lost news of each other. They were completely separated.
Sister Zhao raised her head from Lao Tan's arms and looked at him, saying softly: "Sister, I have been looking forward to your coming."
"Isn't this coming?" Lao Tan said.
"I don't know why, but after your brother-in-law left, I felt very unhappy. I didn't even have anyone to talk to, so I was just waiting for you to come - now you are the only one I know - my daughter.
That’s fine, but there are some things you can’t say to her, and she won’t understand them even if you say them.”
"Tell me."
"It's not like you're always with me - I miss you very much, and I'm always thinking about you. I didn't know that your Xin'er was just like that, and my heart died. Since I found out, I've been working hard to make things happen.
, I keep thinking in a mess, I hope you will get well soon, nothing will happen, and you will be healthy ------"
Sister Zhao burst into tears as she spoke. She wiped it with the back of her hand like a child. After wiping it, she continued: "I always nag you, so much so that your brother-in-law is jealous. I can just go and see it if I want to. It's okay."
People stopped me.
I knew what he was thinking, and I stopped mumbling in front of him. He was a good man, honest, not too talkative, and he was kind to me. I thought I had to walk in front of him.
Who would have thought that he would leave first, hey——"
Lao Tan wiped the tears from Sister Zhao's face and said, "He is also a good person over there."
"I cry in front of you, but I won't cry in front of others - you protect my sister, and I feel at ease when I am by your side."
Lao Tan hugged her arms tightly in distress, conveying warmth to Sister Zhao.
He said: "That's good, it proves that I didn't come in vain."
Sister Zhao couldn't help but raised her head again, took out her hand from Lao Tan's waist, stretched it upward, put it around Lao Tan's neck, and then looked at Lao Tan passionately.
Lao Tan had a premonition of what would happen next, struggled internally, and subconsciously avoided Sister Zhao's eyes.
"Why--"
Sister Zhao's long sighs drifted into the rising temperature, wrapped in the gentle sea breeze and melted away.
Lao Tan couldn't help but regret - he should have given Sister Zhao a gentle response and comfort, instead of such a hypocritical and sanctimonious avoidance. At this time, Sister Zhao was just like when Lao Wu left, lonely, helpless and in need.
Comfort, companionship, care.
He turned his eyes back and saw the tears on Sister Zhao's face.
His heart trembled, and he hugged Sister Zhao tightly again, lowered his head and kissed her cheek.
As if waiting for this moment, Sister Zhao responded eagerly, like an injured child waiting for the care and comfort of an adult, shedding tears of grievance.
The two people seemed to be avoiding and dodging lip contact intentionally or unintentionally, but they were both eagerly searching for it amidst contradictory excitement.
When the four lips finally touched together, they suddenly separated, as if they had touched something very taboo, leaving a beating heart.
The embracing arms subconsciously parted as if they realized they had made a mistake, and the two pairs of eyes flashed with anxiety, not knowing where to look.
A moment of embarrassment occurs, which is very embarrassing.
It seemed that the sea breeze was no longer gentle, and it felt chilly on my body.
The two of them didn't speak for a long time, standing awkwardly with their faces red and their hearts beating.
After a long time, Lao Tan first broke the awkward silence and said, "It's cold, let's go back."
"Yes." Sister Zhao lowered her head and agreed softly with a red face.
The two people turned around and walked back, following each other but with a tacit and undetectable distance.
Lao Tan's heart was still beating wildly, but he was glad that he had not crossed the threshold. His heart had stopped talking. It would have been so embarrassing if it had not stopped, and he would never have the face to see anyone in the future.
Sister Zhao seemed to have thought the same thing. She felt embarrassed and did not take the initiative to cross Lao Tan's arm as she did when she arrived. She walked forward silently with her head lowered along the way.
After walking for a while, Lao Tan's heart gradually calmed down. Once his heart calmed down, his head also became clear. He felt that this was not good and made Sister Zhao feel a little cold.
Then she smiled and took the initiative to hug Sister Zhao's waist.
When his hand touched Sister Zhao's waist, Sister Zhao's whole body stiffened for a moment, but soon softened, and she raised her head and looked at Old Tan eagerly, then immediately lowered her head.
Neither of them spoke, but their behavior was natural and harmonious. Sister Zhao hugged Lao Tan, and Lao Tan half hugged Sister Zhao. Those who didn't know it definitely thought they were a happy couple.
When he returned to his residence, Lao Tan told Sister Zhao that he was sleepy and wanted to go to bed, and then returned to his room.
Sister Zhao stood on the floor and smiled, then went back to the room to change clothes, then came out in pajamas, first went to the wine cabinet to get red wine, then sat on the sofa, opened the red wine and poured a glass.
"Brother, come out and have a drink with sister." She knew that Lao Tan would not sleep, so she shouted towards the door.
Old Tan came out with a cigarette in his mouth.
Sister Zhao smiled and raised her glass to Lao Tan and said, "Red wine helps you sleep. Have a drink before going to bed."
"You are really a drinker now." Old Tan said and sat down next to Sister Zhao.
Sister Zhao poured a glass for Lao Tan and handed it to him and said, "You have developed a habit. You must have a drink before going to bed."
Lao Tan took a sip and said, "I'm not used to drinking it. It's not as good as white wine." Then he smiled and said, "Heh, it's a bit of a luxury."
"It's a luxury. I don't drink it all the time. I just have a drink before going to bed."
"Can't you sleep without drinking?"
"Well------when I'm lying in bed, my head is always full of random thoughts. Thousands of years of millet and thousands of years of chaff. Drink some wine and drift into the lake. I'll fall asleep quickly and still smell good."
"Don't drink too much."
"Hey, it's better to drink too much. The main thing is not to drink too much------"
"You are alone and it would be nice to have someone by your side."
"That being said, how easy is it to find someone? You can't find someone who doesn't have the right mindset, doesn't have the right personality, or has different living habits - I don't look very good at my age, and I'm almost an old lady.
There are still many shortcomings, it’s hard to choose.” Sister Zhao smiled after saying this, with a bit of sadness in her smile.
"The main reason is that I have too much life experience and most people don't take it seriously," Lao Tan said.
"Oh no." Sister Zhao shook her head and said, "Actually, sister, I am just like you. You are afraid that your illness will relapse one day and you don't dare to find someone to live with you. You are afraid of trapping others."
Then she spread her hands to show Lao Tan and said: "Sister, I am a hard-nosed man. I will kill every one I look for. I don't dare to look for him now, for fear of sending him away again ------"
"You are superstitious." Lao Tan said: "A person's lifespan is fixed, and a dead well cannot be drowned in a river. Lin Yan still has her hands cut off, and she and I haven't done well in these years."
