Chapter 181: Then wait a while
As we chatted and walked along the river embankment, Tang Xiaoru and I had walked more than a hundred meters along the river embankment. Although summer had passed long ago and the weather had cooled down. However, there were still many people coming here for a walk or a trip in the park by the river.
Of course, most of the people who come here at this time are couples in pairs. This kind of park and riverside is definitely the best place to talk about love. Now it is night again, and through the darkness, those couples who are in love can express their passion and love without any scruples.
Just in front of Tang Xiaoru and I strolled, a young couple was sitting by the river embankment. I wonder if they had just made a sworn of sworns, they stared at each other affectionately. Soon, their faces got together and kissed them as if no one was around.
I didn't laugh at them, but instead envy their feelings. It can be seen that the young couple fell in love with each other deeply. At the moment they kissed, there was no one else in this world except them.
I turned around and looked at Tang Xiaoru beside me, and found that she also saw the little couple kissing. In a daze, I hurriedly turned around and refused to look, as if the one who should be shy was not the little couple, but herself.
I smiled softly. At this moment, I suddenly wanted to stop. Like the little couple, I hugged her in my arms, said to her, I love you, and then kissed her deeply.
But my reason told me that if I really did this, I would definitely be crazy. Tang Xiaoru would definitely give me a big slap and push me into the Shuangxi River next to me.
I don’t know which lucky man in this world can love and kiss her. The man who can be favored by Tang Xiaoru must be an excellent person in all aspects, which is beyond my reach, right? I really regret not studying hard at the beginning, so that I am such a futile person now. Even if I love this woman so much in my heart, I feel ashamed and have no courage to pursue her.
Turning my head and looking at the couple who were still kissing affectionately, I couldn't help but sigh softly. It's hard to become Tang Xiaoru's friend. It's already a blessing I have cultivated in my previous life. Don't be unsatisfied, so as not to be able to do nothing in the end.
My love for her will be buried deep in my heart in the future.
In order not to disturb the couple, Tang Xiaoru and I took a lighter pace and passed them quickly. After we were about twenty meters away from them, we returned to our original speed. I turned to look at Tang Xiaoru again. I found that she was looking at me too. When we met, she and I smiled.
Under the moonlight, Tang Xiaoru's smile was like a flash of cereus blooming, making people feel excited.
It seemed like I wanted to find the topic again. After Tang Xiaoru took a few steps, she suddenly asked me softly: "Dai Yong. I just heard Wenwen say that day's concert. You... saw that Ferena also came?"
I stayed for a while and answered truthfully: "Yes. That day, we saw her and a few people watching the concert together."
"Wenwen...How do you know that her surname is Fei? Did you talk to her?"
"Well, there are a few K-Di students who are with us. Ferena and they all know each other. So she came over and said hello. Ferena and I knew each other too. When she came over, she also chatted with me."
"That day...didn't she see me with you? I seemed very angry when I saw her. I didn't know what she said to you?"
I smiled and said, "I didn't say anything. At that time, so many people were there, it was impossible for Ferena to have an attack on the spot, right?"
"Oh, that's true. After that... have you met her?"
Now I know what Tang Xiaoru is worried about. Maybe she is uneasy and suspicious about Ferena going to Zhang Wen’s clothing store?
Although, I am a person who doesn't like lying. In order not to worry too much, I decided to hide from her the meeting between Ferena and me during this period.
"I haven't seen it since, what's wrong?"
"No... nothing. Just ask."
I deliberately smiled and said, "Do you feel scared? Ferena is there at the concert that day, but fortunately she didn't let her see you."
Tang Xiaoru suddenly stopped and looked at me with anger and said, "What? Do you still doubt that I have any affair with Ferena's father?"
I also stopped quickly, thinking that Tang Xiaoru was too sensitive. As soon as I said that, she thought I still suspected that she had an affair with Fei Jiahui.
I had to curl my smile and said seriously: "No, I'm just worried about you. Fortunately, Ferena didn't see you that day. If she saw it, you wouldn't be able to wash it even if you jumped to the Yellow River, right? Mr. Tang. I really don't want to see you being suspected and misinterpreted by others. I don't want to hear those ugly rumors anymore. If you have no feelings for Fei Jiahui, don't take that kind of risk to meet again. OK?"
Tang Xiaoru bit her mouth, remained silent, and did not respond to my topic for a long time. After a while, she sighed softly and said, "I can't explain some things to you. I know that if I don't explain them clearly, you will always have doubts in your heart. But... I have my own difficulties, the matter between Mr. Fei and I, I... I have sworn that I will never talk to anyone. Dai Yong, believe me, Mr. Fei and I are definitely not the kind of relationship you think, okay?"
Seeing Tang Xiaoru's sad and anxious expression, I had even more questions in my heart. Tang Xiaoru and Fei Jiahui had three kinds of relationships, either lovers, subordinates, or friends. Since Tang Xiaoru firmly denies that it is a lover relationship, no matter which of the remaining two relationships, it seems that they don't need to swear that they don't say that serious to others, right?
What oath did Tang Xiaoru make? To whom did she make? What is the relationship between her and Fei Jiahui?
With so many questions, Tang Xiaoru didn't say anything, even if I wanted to break my head, I couldn't guess it. In desperation, I could only smile bitterly and said, "Mr. Tang, I said it, I believe you. Because you are my friend, you won't lie to me, right?"
"Yeah!" Tang Xiaoru nodded vigorously, with an excited expression, as if she was inexplicably moved. She looked deeply for a long time, and suddenly took a step forward, and her body was almost about to stick to me.
Such a close distance suddenly made my heart beat violently. My thoughts flashed, thinking that she was going to pounce on my arms?
Immediately afterwards, I smelled a faint fragrance like orchids and musk in my nose. Tang Xiaoru did not snuggle into my arms, but gently pressed her forehead against my shoulders, and seemed to be sobbing.
I was stunned for a while and said in surprise: "Mr. Tang, what's wrong with you?"
"I want to cry, let me lean on you and cry for a while, okay?"
She wants to cry? In my impression, the strong female boss would have such a fragile side?
I immediately understood again. No matter how good Tang Xiaoru was, she was still a girl. She was suspected by almost everyone that she had an affair with a married man. How could she not feel sad and painful? Moreover, for some reason, she could not explain or clarify. How could this grievance be withstood her, a innocent woman?
Tang Xiaoru is already very strong. She silently endured those rumors and doubts alone. She also had to face the blame and humiliation from Fei Jiahui's family. Not only did it not collapse, but she continued to live and work tenaciously. What courage and perseverance does this require for a woman? But who can know the pain in her heart?
At this moment, Tang Xiaoru finally vented because I said I believed her. She could no longer bear the grievances that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time.
When I heard Tang Xiaoru sobbing in a low voice and felt her body trembling slightly, my heart was filled with tenderness. For a moment, I forgot that she was my boss and my own identity. For a strange reason, I stretched out my hands, gently placed her body with one hand, and held her head with the other hand, slowly moved it from my shoulders to my arms.
"Cry, cry, and you will feel more comfortable when you cry."
Tang Xiaoru's body stiffened slightly, but immediately, she relaxed again. She tilted her neck and buried her face in my chin and started crying.
I smiled and gently stroked her hair, comforted the woman I loved deeply with my arms and tenderness.
A dark cloud floated over from somewhere to cover the moon in the sky. The sky and the earth suddenly became even darker. The Shuangxi River water behind me was still flowing silently, as if it was taken away by the tears of everyone in the world.
In this way, I don’t know how long it took, the woman in my arms was still crying, but gradually, the voice became weaker. Suddenly, I heard a slight vibration in my top pocket.
I am very familiar with my voice. It should be that my phone received a text message from someone. But at this moment, I don’t want to pay attention to it. The woman in my arms is everything to me, nothing is more important than her.
However, Tang Xiaoru seemed to hear this voice. After sobbing, she whispered: "You have a text message."
I was still gently stroking her hair, smiling, and saying, "I know!"
"Then don't you look?"
"Don't worry."
"I...I'm fine, I don't want to cry anymore."
"Is that so? Then are you... in a better mood? If not, I don't mind... let you rely on it for a while..."
Tang Xiaoru suddenly raised her face and looked at me with a strange expression. I felt guilty and hurriedly looked up at the sky, not daring to contact her gaze.
After about two seconds, Tang Xiaoru said softly: "Not yet, then... let me rely on it for a while..."
I felt hot in my neck and felt her face burying in again. For some reason, I suddenly lost the calmness and peace I had just now, and I felt my heart begin to beating violently.
Plop! Plop! Plop! Plop...
