She reached out to push the car door, but stopped after hearing a click.

Her face was as pale as snow, and her heart was burning like a raging fire. When the man in the front seat got into the driver's seat, she reached out and grabbed Cheng Xiao.

The strength in his hands deepened little by little, and he gradually lost his strength looking at those black and white blind eyes.

"Ah!" Let go like a roaring lion.

"Why do you treat me like this?" Zhao Xiran complained, "Cheng Xiao, I hate you, I hate you to death!"

He wanted to break free but couldn't do anything. He wanted to leave and retain his last dignity, but he insisted on keeping her.

"I don't love you anymore! What good is it for you to keep someone who doesn't love you in your body? Your mother..." Zhao Xiran couldn't hold back anymore because of her grievance, and burst into tears with a 'poof'.

"I will take care of everything!" Cheng Xiao said, "For our family, and for the silence that is looking forward to your return day and night."

It wasn't until this moment that Zhao Xiran remembered what she had promised when Cheng Mo left in the morning.He raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "I'm going to school! I said I would pick him up, you can't make me a dishonest mother."

A sharp turn, the car changed direction.

"Dinglingling..." A burst of melodious music sounded, and the quiet Wisdom Elementary School instantly became noisy.

Groups of children trotted towards the school gate.

Zhao Xiran stood at the gate of the school and stared closely, afraid that his eyes would be lost in a blink of an eye.

A boy in a blue and white school uniform and an orange schoolbag walked out slowly.As he walked, he looked outside the school gate, and saw a woman in a dark green woolen overcoat, with a smile on her face, running fast.

"Mom!" The joy was beyond words, and the boy threw himself into his arms like a snowball.

"Momo, are you tired today?" Zhao Xiran reached out and took off the bag on the boy's back, and carried it on one shoulder.

"Not tired!" The boy looked up and saw a silver-gray car parked not far away, "Dad came with you too?"

"En." Zhao Xiran hummed lightly.

Seeing Cheng Mo running fast, Zhao Xiran quickly followed.

There is a lot of chaos outside the Wisdom Elementary School. When running, there are always a few cars that do not obey the traffic rules. Of course, some people pick up the children and are ready to start at any time.

"Didi...beep..." The ringing kept ringing in my ears, and a bicycle appeared out of nowhere and rushed towards Cheng Mo's running direction.

"Momo, watch your way!"

The running boy stopped and waved his arms towards her, "Mom, hurry up, hurry up!"

Zhao Xiran was out of breath when he ran to the silver-gray car, standing on the side of the road with his hands on his waist, panting heavily.

A bottle of mineral water suddenly appeared in front of him. Zhao Xiran glanced at Cheng Xiao who was expressionless, and then turned to look at Cheng Mo who was sitting in the car, and said, "Thank you!"

"Mom, why are you still saying thank you to Dad?" Cheng Mo said dissatisfiedly, "I haven't seen you in four years, shouldn't you have a lot to say?" The boy's eyes rolled around Zhao Xiran and Cheng Xiao, "Shouldn't you Could it be a quarrel?"

"No!" Zhao Xiran blurted out.

"That is……"

"Momo, are you hungry?" Cheng Xiao interjected, "Think carefully about what you want to eat!"

"Dad, can you do anything?" Cheng Mo's eyes lit up.

Suspicion clouded up in Zhao Xiran's heart.It seems that Cheng Mo has been subject to many restrictions during the few years she was away from City D.Just thinking about the few words Ren Yun said in the early morning, Zhao Xiran can no longer turn a blind eye!
"Of course!" Said before Cheng Xiao could speak.

"I want to eat small snails from Beiqiao Old Street!"

Cheng Xiao frowned, but soon relaxed, "Then go to Beiqiao Old Street."

Zhao Xiran faintly sensed a sense of disharmony, but if he wanted to talk about it carefully, he couldn't explain it, so he had to pick up what he knew, "It seems that Beiqiao Old Street is being demolished? Will our passage be blocked?"

"No!" Cheng Mo said, "It's only been demolished to the east section. The one we're going to is in the west section. It will take some time to be demolished. And the small snails are the most famous in the old street. Mom, after you eat Will definitely fall in love!"

Zhao Xiran grinned, and glanced at Cheng Xiao who was sitting in the row in front of him. The small snails in Beiqiao Old Street didn't sound like his favorite at all.

The car stopped when it reached the old street. Zhao Xiran and Cheng Mo got out of the car and asked as they walked, "Momo, how did you find this place?"

"I have a friend who lives here!" Cheng Mo said, "He said the small snails here are very delicious, so he brought you here!"

"Why doesn't it sound like it! Then I'll ask your dad later?"

"No," Cheng Mo lowered his head, "It's just that Xiaoduo and his family live not far from here. I want to come here to try my luck, maybe I can meet you!"

Zhao Xiran didn't know what else to say for a moment.

She remembered that Ren Yun had said before that he would not allow Momo to associate with Xiaoduo.She thought that the old lady just said that because she hadn't figured it out for a while.But she didn't expect that she would actually isolate Momo from Xiaoduo, it's hard for them to see each other!
"Mom, you can't tell grandma about this, she will be angry if she finds out!"

She knew Ren Yun's attitude.only……

"What about your father? Are you not afraid that he will know?"

Cheng Mo sighed, "The old man already knew about this! Several times, I wanted to see Xiaoduo, but he made an excuse to come here!"

Zhao Xiran did not expect this.

She thought Cheng Xiao was very strict with Mo Mo, and she didn't see Cheng Mo say a few words to him in the car.

Once the curiosity started, he couldn't stop anymore, and asked Cheng tacitly, "Mo Mo, how has your father been these past few years?"

Cheng Mo scratched his head, "Except that at night, he always locks himself in his room to drink, everything else is fine!"

"drink wine?"

Cheng Xiao doesn't like to drink, even if it's for entertainment, he always tastes it lightly.Never expected him to be so greedy!
"Not only that, but he also hides a lot in the room! When he's drunk, he always likes to say your name." Cheng Mo whispered, "Mom, Dad, he really misses you!"

"What are you two talking about?" Cheng Xiao strode towards the two of them.

Zhao Xiran hurriedly said: "I didn't say anything!" After looking at him with his head, "Have you parked your car?"

"Ah."

Cheng Mo stepped into the small snail first, while Cheng Xiao and Zhao Xiran were one step behind.

Zhao Xiran scanned quickly, and every table was full of people.

He looked back at the few people standing at the bar. They all held number plates in their hands, and they were probably waiting for a table.

"It seems that there is no place!"

Just after finishing speaking, a middle-aged man came out from the back room and said with a smile, "Mr. Cheng, this way please!"

The middle-aged man led the three of them inside.

Zhao Xiran followed closely behind Cheng Xiao, "Do you often come to this place?"

"Not many! Only two or three times a month." Cheng Xiao said lightly.

Two or three times, Cheng Xiao, who is very picky eater and afraid of spicy food, is already inconceivable.

Zhao Xiran watched in astonishment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, "Cheng Xiao, you really have changed!"

Cheng Xiao stamped his feet.

Zhao Xiran thought he had something to say, but after waiting for a while, he walked away again.

The middle-aged man led the three of them into a temporarily separated box. In the corner of the room, piles of vegetables were piled up, and on the wooden embroidered steel frame next to each other, there were several pots of snails spitting water. It looks more like an operating room in a store!

"Mr. Cheng, this was moved out just now, and I have wronged you for being here today!"

"No problem!" Cheng Xiao waved his hand.

"Is today the same as usual?"

"Ah."

Cheng Xiao looked down at Cheng Mo who was sitting on the bench, "Take another two bottles of soy milk!"

As soon as the small snails were on the table, Zhao Xiran smelled a pungent peppery smell.Taking a closer look, except for the small snails, all the rest on the big plate are red peppers, and there are also a few bunches of green peppercorns mixed in.

"Cheng Xiao, do you have such a strong taste now?" Seeing the delicious food, Zhao Xiran couldn't help it, and took the chopsticks eager to try it.

A piece of screw meat is so spicy that the whole person will fly.

"So spicy, so cool!"

Zhao Xiran couldn't help but pick several.

Cheng Mo didn't take a few bites after sitting at the table, and went out with soy milk.

At this time, only Zhao Xiran and Cheng Xiao were left in the box.

"Cheng Xiao, this snail is really extraordinary!" Zhao Xiran said while eating.

"Eat more if you like it!" Cheng Xiao made some more for her.

"Well, you eat too!"

Not long after, Zhao Xiran was submerged in the snail shell.

Inadvertently looked up at the man sitting across from him, and he ate it mixed with mustard.

Seeing that he swallowed it without chewing much, he said dissatisfiedly: "You can't taste the taste of snails if you eat like this!"

"Then what should I eat?" Cheng Xiao put down the water glass.

"Chew it bite by bite like me!" Zhao Xiran did not hesitate to demonstrate it himself, and after swallowing, he said: "This way you can taste the taste."

Cheng Xiao took the chopsticks again, picked up a snail, slowly picked out the snail meat, and slowly put it into his mouth.

After chewing a few times, he was sweating profusely, and the tip of his nose and ears became as red as his face.

"Is there a particularly comfortable feeling?"

Cheng Xiao swallowed the foam in his mouth forcefully, drank his saliva and nodded.

He picked some more and ate them like she did just now, drinking a big mouthful of water with every bite.

Zhao Xiran looked at it quietly, and her memory went back to a few years ago, when she went to eat hot pot with Cheng Xiao, she specially ordered the spiciest one, and even dipped it in dried chili peppers for him to eat.At that time, Cheng Xiao was as hot as he is now, and his face was as red as a monkey's butt.

It's just that she didn't ask Cheng Xiao to do anything today, and she didn't want this hot pot of small snails.

Obviously I can't eat it, but I often order here, and I eat it with the spiciest mustard.

Zhao Xiran couldn't help but look up at the man sitting across from him again, "Cheng Xiao, I heard you like to drink now? Have you hidden a lot in the room?"

Cheng Xiao remained silent.

"Tell me, what are you hiding? Is there anything I like to drink?"

What Zhao Xiran likes to drink the most is homemade fruit wine. In the past, she would always drink with Yao Lingling behind Cheng Xiao's back.

"At that time you always wouldn't let me drink it. You always said, you have a bad stomach, so you're going to die if you drink like this?" Zhao Xiran laughed thinking of those things in the past.

After speaking, she calmed down and moved to Cheng Xiao's side, "It would be great if we could go back to that time!"

"I can't go back!" Cheng Xiao picked up the water on the table, looked at the bottom of the porcelain white cup, and put it down suddenly, "Boss, here are two bottles of wine!"

"Mr. Cheng, we only have liquor and beer here, which one do you want?"

"Whichever is more exciting!" Cheng Xiao said.

Soon, the middle-aged man came over with two bottles of Laobaigan. Cheng Xiao lifted the caps and blew on the opposite bottle.

Zhao Xiran watched his Adam's apple roll every time, and his heart sank a little. When Lao Baigan was halfway there, he suddenly shot, "Cheng Xiao, Cheng Xiao, you don't drink wine like this!"
