Chapter 184 Voice of the Heart
The lady of the board told Ling Xiao to take Wang Yan to dinner, because this is a mid-range restaurant, without losing face and no expense. Ling Xiao was really moved at that time, and moved the lady of the boss to think so thoughtfully for him. He knew that he, a young man who came to work, had no savings on his savings. Going to a higher-end place was a huge expense for him, and going to a lower-end place could not show his sincerity.
Bibo Hotel is very famous in Mingdao. What is famous is not his high-end style, but his low consumption and high enjoyment.
The two of them chose a seat in the lobby on the first floor and sat down. It was not that Ling Xiao didn't want to go to the private room to spend, but that it was really too lively. Their current seat was still Ling Xiao who was booking in advance after listening to the boss's instructions. The private room had been booked the day before. Ling Xiao looked at the lively lobby and some consumers waiting for meals in the news area. His first thought was that this was not for eating, it was just for applying for a job.
After the two of them politely turned around, Ling Xiao ordered a few dishes. After these days of chef experience, he was already a little familiar with these dishes. He knew which dishes were real, which one looked good and had a gimmick.
While waiting for the food to be served, Wang Yan spoke. After the digestion of this time, she had already accepted the fact that Ling Xiao was an orphan. "How did you live through these years? Can you tell me?" After saying that, she felt that the question was a bit abrupt and hurriedly continued, "Is it a bit... If you don't want to say it, forget it, sorry!"
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just a person's experience, nothing can't be said." Ling Xiao thought for a while before he started talking slowly. As he spoke, Ling Xiao felt that he had returned to that time, "I was an orphan since I was a child and grew up in an orphanage. I don't know who my parents are and what they are. Even my name was given to me by a staff member in the yard. When I was a child..."
Ling Xiao spoke unmoved, there was no fancy language, but just a normal mentality to describe his experiences. However, what is most touching in the world is not those fancy languages, but often those ordinary and simple words. When Ling Xiao mentioned that when he was in high school, Wang Yan was already deeply attracted by Ling Xiao's experience. What kind of life is this? Compared with Ling Xiao, her experiences seem too ordinary. It is hard to imagine how a high school student who is studying must support himself and insist on completing his studies.
The waiter interrupted Ling Xiao's narration when serving the food. Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Haha, these things have passed, nothing good. You are hungry, let's eat it."
Wang Yan didn't move her chopsticks immediately, but just looked at Ling Xiao. She found that Ling Xiao's smile was still so bright, and she had no trace of such vicissitudes. What kind of optimistic attitude is this? You can treat these experiences that she simply cannot imagine as very ordinary things. "I find that you are optimistic, and your mind is an alternative among orphans. After most people have experienced these, they will have some barriers or hatred for this society and other people in this society, but you don't. From the outside, you can't tell that you will be an orphan. Even if I know the situation now, I still don't have such thoughts."
Wang Yan really admires Ling Xiao very much. It is because she has experienced a drastic change in her family that she has left a little bit of distrust towards others, especially men. It can be said that she has not had the intention to truly date a man. In her heart, men cannot withstand temptation. If you don’t have the assets that others are greedy for, you may be able to live a peaceful life. Once you have the assets that others will greedy for, others will try every means to tempt you. At this time, men will always be unable to control themselves and even abandon their relatives behind their heads.
With such an idea, how could she have even a slight favoritism towards men? However, after listening to Ling Xiao’s narration today, her ideas changed a little. It turned out that men could be so strong. If it were her, she knew that she might not be able to persevere like Ling Xiao.
Of course, Ling Xiao's words only opened a knot in her heart, and there were still a few knots that had not been opened. Men could be so strong, but that was when a man was in a difficult time. Her father had this, although it was not as good as Ling Xiao's ups and downs, it was also a reflection. And her other knot in her heart was whether men could still have such character without wavering when they owned some assets. She didn't know that Ling Xiao didn't say that if Ling Xiao could really tell all his experiences so far, or
The knot of her heart will be completely opened. Unfortunately, the time is wrong. If Ling Xiao didn't continue to talk at this time, Wang Yan would not have the chance to untie her knot now.
Finally finished serving the dishes, Wang Yan raised her glass and said to Ling Xiao, "Come on, I'll give you a cup, for your yesterday, for your day, and for your tomorrow." "Cheers! Thank you." Ling Xiao also raised her glass and clinked Wang Yan.
People say that women are emotional animals, and Ling Xiao doesn't know it, but Wang Yan and Ling Xiao think that this sentence makes some sense, because Wang Yan has already begun to describe the things she has experienced that made her feel painful. "Aunt Fang may have told you that our family also opened a hotel. At that time, our hotel was one of the best-in-class restaurants, and the income was naturally much more than others..." Wang Yan's narrative was basically no different from the boss's words. The difference was some evaluations of his father.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on Wang Yan. When she was experiencing these things, she was just a child. It was impossible for an adult brain to think about these problems. She just felt that she had changed from being originally happy to being envied by others to being pointed at. How could a young mind treat these changes with a normal attitude? Therefore, her opinions on her father took root in her heart from that time, and every time she was pointed at, it deepened a little, so that it became a knot now.
Ling Xiao wanted to unravel. At first, their relationship had not reached that level. Wang Yan might not be able to listen to some words he said now. Secondly, these have been accumulated in Wang Yan's heart for too long. Ling Xiao felt that it might not be effective, or that there would be some reaction. Therefore, Ling Xiao just comforted Wang Yan. Some things, especially knots in his heart, must be completely untied by himself. What others can do is just provide the parties with such an opportunity to untickle the knot.
After these time of conversation, the two of them had a feeling of falling into the world at the same time. Of course, Ling Xiao's feeling was lighter, while Wang Yan's feeling was heavier. Therefore, the relationship between the two was also rapidly escalating invisibly, and there was no longer the feeling of just meeting him, especially Wang Yan, who felt that Ling Xiao was one of her friends, a friend who could tell him that the secrets buried in her heart for many years.
Such a friend has surpassed ordinary friends and has reached the status of good friends.
It only took a few hours to meet, and it was impossible to imagine such development. At least Ling Xiao could not imagine it, and Wang Yan could not imagine it even more.
Ling Xiao came from the beginning with a look and talk, and was ready for failure. Wang Yan was forced by her mother, saying that she would not go is unfilial to her. In Wang Yan's mind, her mother is the person she trusts the most and is closest to. How could she go against this? So she had the idea of leaving when she met. If her mother hadn't repeatedly emphasized that she had to finish her meal, she probably might not have come to eat with Ling Xiao.
Of course, Ling Xiao’s orphan words were also a reason why Wang Yan was willing to have a meal with Ling Xiao.
It can be said that both of them had a happy meal, especially Wang Yan. Once the secret buried in her heart was revealed, she felt much more relaxed, and even had the urge to continue talking with Ling Xiao. However, when she saw those who were waiting for dining in the information area looking at her, she was embarrassed to sit down here again.
"Pay the bill!" Ling Xiao raised his hand to the waiter, and a waiter quickly picked up the menu on their table and went to the front desk to check out.
"I'm very happy to know you, Ling Xiao, you let me know that I'm not the only one who has such an experience in this world. I know that I'm not the most miserable one, and I also know what kind of mentality to face these sufferings. Thank you. Ling Xiao!" Wang Yan was moved. The few hours today made her feel that she had lived for several months more meaningful than before. Although she still had some knots in her heart, it made her happy.
"What's there to thank for? Are we not friends?" Ling Xiao said with a smile. Perhaps, this is the person he should look for in his life. Some of them have experienced similar experiences and can understand him and give him help and support. Ling Xiao also feels a little lucky. It is indeed a blessing to be able to meet such a person on his first blind date.
Perhaps this is another chance God gave him, but I just hope that it will not be a joke like last time. ()
