Life With You

Yuan Bao would not mention what happened back then in front of Dang Zhen, and certainly not behind his back. During the meal, Dang Yi called. Dang Zhen got up and said hello to the two of them, and went out to pick them up. Only Yuan Bao and Xia Zhao were left in the private room. , Xia Zhao lowered his head and said nothing, Yuan Bao asked: When did you come back?

Xia Zhao said: Six months ago, when you entered the game during the Chinese New Year.

Yuan Bao said: Have you met Brother Sheng and Tong Hao?

Xia Zhao shook his head slightly, No.

Yuan Bao said: Yes, if Tong Hao saw you, would you still be sitting here now?

Xia Zhao lowered his head and said repressedly: Brother Bao, I'm sorry for you...

Yuan Bao said: Okay, I'll let it go. You saved Dang Zhen today, you don't owe me anything.

Xia Zhao, a grown man, had his eyes red with tears in his eyes. He had a lot to say, but when he said it, it was just like what Yuan Bao said. It was all over. What was the point of mentioning the past now?

Yuan Bao said: Fortunately, you are here today, otherwise I wouldn't have to live if Dang Zhen was taken away from me.

What he said was that he didn't have to work, not that he didn't have to hang out. Xia Zhao mustered up the courage to look up at Yuan Bao opposite, and whispered: Brother Bao, my sister-in-law is a party member. What happened today... the party family won't blame you, right?

Yuan Bao replied half-truthfully: I can't tell, her dad treats her like a pearl.

Xia Zhao was anxious, What should we do?

Yuan Bao looked at Xia Zhao intently, until Xia Zhao's back was stabbed with pain. He lowered his gaze in embarrassment. After a few seconds, he heard Yuan Bao's voice: When do you plan to leave?

Xia Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't know whether his face was white or red, because the blood seemed to have been drained all of a sudden. It was not just embarrassment that could be summed up.

His hands had nowhere to rest under the table, and his fingertips were trembling. Opposite him, Yuan Bao said, It's not a matter of anger to let you go. Now, here in Ye City, we see the general trend. In fact, the undercurrent is surging, and you are only in danger here.

Xia Zhao immediately raised his head and said, Brother Bao, I won't cause you any trouble.

Yuan Bao said calmly: It's okay to let Tong Hao see you. The most he can do is scold you and drive you out of Night City. If others catch you, I will find a way to redeem you.

Xia Zhao said with red eyes: Brother Bao, I know I was wrong, please give me another chance.

He doesn't seek glory and wealth, he only seeks comfort in his heart.

Yuan Bao naturally knew what kind of person Xia Zhao was, so he said calmly: It's not whether I will keep you or not. You know the rules of the Qiao family. Once you are unfaithful, you will never be used again. I thank you for saving Dang Zhen, so I I don’t care about what you did to me, but you still caused Brother Sheng and Song Xi to suffer, and I have no right to forgive you for them.

Yuan Bao said the decisive words in an almost gentle tone. Xia Zhao was instantly stung and felt ashamed, almost crying.

Dang Zhen didn't go in immediately after making the call. Instead, she sent a text message to Yuan Bao outside and asked them to have a good chat.

Yuan Bao received the text message and said to Xia Zhao: What a big man, why are you crying? Dang Zhen thinks I've done something to you. Put your tears back and have a good meal. This is my farewell meal for you.

Hearing the word farewell, Xia Zhao couldn't help it anymore. He covered his face with his hands, exposing the blue veins on his forehead. Yuan Bao gave him half a minute to calm down, and then said: You have a sister, don't let anyone know that you If you still get mixed up in this muddy water, you can go anywhere without Night City, start a small business, start a family, and retire early.

Xia Zhao was trembling all over, and he resisted crying. This was his last line as a man. Yuan Bao threw the tissue box in front of him and said loudly: You don't have to do things with me. We can still eat and chat when we meet. , it’s not like we’ve been together forever, my girlfriend is still standing outside waiting, she hasn’t eaten all night, so don’t waste your time here.”

Everyone who is familiar with him knows that Yuan Bao has a kind face and a cruel heart, and will never show mercy to what he wants to say. However, in the past, he used to be venomous and just talk about things, but now he is saturated with love, and inexplicably there is a bit more human fireworks.

Xia Zhao lowered his head and took out a tissue to wipe his tears. Yuan Bao had already stood up, I'll go find her and give you a minute to dry your tears.

Yuan Bao came out of the private room, looked around and found Dang Zhen sitting at a table in the hotel lobby, eating noodles with his head down, eating very seriously, with the corners of his lips raised, he walked over and said, Miss, can you Sharing a table?”

Dang Zhen raised her head and found it was Yuan Bao, and asked, Why did you come out?

Yuan Bao sat next to her and said with a smile: You can come out of the police station, but you can't come out of the private room of the hotel?

Dang Zhen looked around, Where is Xia Zhao?

Yuan Bao said: Inside.

Dang Zhen said: Then go and accompany him.

Yuan Bao couldn't help laughing again, Aren't you jealous anymore?

Dang Zhen was speechless, holding her chopsticks and saying, I can't finish the noodles.

Yuan Bao suddenly came closer and asked in a lowered voice: Which one is better, am I or the noodles?

Dang Zhen scolded him and lowered her head to eat the noodles. Yuan Bao snatched her chopsticks away, picked up the bowl, stood up and said, Let's go.

Dang Zhen was surprised, Where are you going?

Yuan Bao said: I am eating in a private room with others, and I leave you outside to eat noodles alone. Is this considered domestic violence in disguise? Go in and eat.

Dang Zhen said sheepishly: Then don't go in with your face.

Yuan Bao asked: What's wrong?

Dang Zhen said: I ordered a bowl of noodles right now, what do people think of me?

Yuan Bao laughed and said, Other than thinking you are hungry, what else can I think of you?

In full view of everyone, Yuan Bao took Dang Zhen's noodle bowl and returned to the private room. Just as the waiter was serving the food, Yuan Bao said, Eat more.

Xia Zhao said with red eyes: Sister-in-law, don't mind me, just eat quickly.

Dang Zhen said: Everyone is welcome, let's eat together.

Yuan Bao picked up the chopsticks and gave Dang Zhen some food. It was something she liked to eat. Dang Zhen took a bite and asked, How was it?

Dang Zhen said: It's okay, but not as delicious as yours.

Yuan Bao smiled and said, The chef is about to give up his pick after hearing this.

Dang Zhen said: I didn't tell him anything.

Xia Zhao listened and felt that the Yuanbao in front of him was familiar yet strange. He used to be gentle and treated women very gentlemanly, but that was only polite and had nothing to do with pampering. Xia Zhao once felt that Yuanbao would not want to find him in ten or eight years. For a girlfriend, now it seems that love is like a tornado.

After dinner that night, the three of them parted ways in front of the hotel. Dang Zhen also said goodbye to Xia Zhao, but Xia Zhao knew in his heart that it would be difficult to say goodbye this time.

Yuan Bao and Dang Zhen got into the same car and were about to take her home. On the way, he asked aloud: Are you afraid of being alone at home at night?

There was a third person in the car, the driver sitting in front. Dang Zhen replied in a normal voice: My dad asked me to call him when I got home. He came to see me.

Yuan Bao said hmm in a neutral tone and said no more.

After a while, Dang Zhen took the initiative and said, Wait for him with me. I think he also wants to say a few words to you.
