win or lose game

Shao Yigui had only ever had the experience of dumping people, which caused him to spend several seconds digesting what happened.This is simply incredible.

"I know it's like crossing the river and tearing down the bridge." Across the dining table, Tang Hexiao hesitated to speak, seemingly hard to say, but at the same time with a firm expression, "But, I can only do this."

This situation made Shao Yigui very depressed.

If it hadn't been for Tang Linwen's sudden stop that day, he would have broken up a long time ago.Shao Yigui couldn't help thinking resentfully.With Shao Yigui's competitive spirit, at this moment, he wished he had no choice but to care about the other party's reasons, first chase him back, and then let him dump him.To be honest, according to Shao Yigui's past temperament, Tang Hexiao's behavior of "crossing the river and tearing down the bridge" seriously damaged his face, and he was bound to retaliate, but for some reason, at this moment, he thought of Tang Linwen once said What I said earlier—the statement that courage consists in daring to do some things, not everything.In the same way, winning or losing should not be flooded in everything.The real victory is not in who dumped whom, but in dealing with the breakup with a mature attitude.

"May I know why you made such a decision?" Shao Yigui asked as calmly as possible.

Tang Hexiao naturally planned to explain everything, and he should have already typed up the draft and rehearsed the conversation. At this time, he fluently elaborated from the beginning: "Yesterday, I went to see my brother."

Shao Yigui's heart tightened subconsciously.He couldn't help thinking desperately, what does it have to do with Tang Linwen that Tang Hexiao broke up with him?If Tang Hexiao had paused for a longer period of time, he would have lost his mind.

Fortunately, Tang Hexiao quickly continued: "Brother told me, there is a birthmark on your mermaid line."

Shao Yigui didn't understand what this sentence meant for a while.There seemed to be a birthmark on his mermaid line, but he didn't know what it meant?

"My brother said," Tang Hexiao added word by word, "you had sex with him that night at the bottom of the mine."

This sentence completely stunned Shao Yigui.

Tang Hexiao quietly observed Shao Yigui for a while, and finally said slowly, "It seems true?"

It was only then that Shao Yigui realized that not refusing was tantamount to acquiescing, but he couldn't figure out why he had to refute. "This, how is it possible!" He was obviously not guilty, but for some reason, his tongue was inexplicably tied, and he almost stuttered in a sentence, "He Xiao, how could you believe such an outrageous thing?"

Compared to Shao Yigui's indignant attitude, Tang Hexiao was unusually calm. He nodded and said, "Yeah, I also think that even if you cheated, you shouldn't be the elder brother of your date."

Shao Yigui, who was getting angry, wanted to add "and I don't like your brother", but for some reason, he didn't say it in the end.

Tang Hexiao continued: "At that time, I was sure to tell my elder brother that this was not true. Do you know how my elder brother answered?"

Shao Yigui said angrily: "I don't know what he answered. After all, I'm not as good at lying as he is, and I can convince you to believe such outrageous things."

"He didn't try to convince me," Tang Hexiao shook his head, and said slowly, "On the contrary, he told me that maybe he did lie, but it didn't matter. Do you believe me or not?"

After hearing these words, Shao Yigui gradually calmed down.

He hated being framed or wronged, but when he heard this, he suddenly realized that this might not be framed.This has nothing to do with what happened between him and Tang Linwen. The key is that Tang He Xiaoxiang doesn't believe him.

——The key is whether he is worthy of being trusted by Tang Hexiao.

Tang Hexiao stared at Shao Yigui, with sadness and sadness in his eyes for a while. "I think you also know the answer to the question of whether I believe you or not."

Shao Yigui nodded slowly and said, "You don't believe it."

Tang Hexiao corrected his words: "I can't believe it."

Shao Yigui laughed lightly at himself, and said, "It seems that I have failed as a lover."

"I also failed." Tang Hexiao lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Actually, I shouldn't agree at all from the beginning. I know who you are and what will happen in the end. But I made a wrong decision."

In the beginning, how could Tang Hexiao know what kind of person Shao Yigui was?Shao Yigui thought slightly puzzled.Immediately, he suddenly recalled what Tang Linwen had said.He thought he and Tang Hexiao met for the first time in a cafe, but in fact, this was not the first time they wanted to meet.

"You knew me? Before we met?" The sudden realization made Shao Yigui blurt out in surprise.

Tang Hexiao nodded and admitted frankly: "When I was in high school, I once visited a possible university and accidentally watched a performance by that university's drama club. This made me firm up my determination to go to that university. In fact, I knew what to do It doesn't make sense because, when I entered school, the senior who fell in love with me at first sight had already graduated. But I still joined the drama club. I always asked about the legendary senior there. I heard a lot about that senior. For example, that senior has the same sexual orientation as me, or for example, that senior is very romantic. In fact, none of these have anything to do with me. I never thought I would see that senior again, and only regarded him as a lover in a dream— ——At that time, I could never have predicted that one day a few years later, when I accidentally walked into a cafe, I would meet that senior again.”

Shao Yigui suddenly realized.

That's why Tang Lin asked to defend his brother.Tang Hexiao easily associates with Shao Yigui, that's not rash and casual.It turned out that he was the object of Tang Hexiao's crush for many years.

"Didn't you happen to ask me to share the table at that time?" Shao Yigui asked for confirmation.

Tang Hexiao replied calmly: "I walked over specially. Of course, I didn't plan to say anything to you, I just wanted to sit there quietly for a while. I didn't expect that you took the initiative to ask for my mobile phone number."

Shao Yigui, who finally learned the truth, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the encounter between people is really wonderful.He thought for a while, then asked: "You said you once visited the university that your brother wanted you to study with, was that one time?"

This question came out of nowhere and had little to do with the logic of the whole topic. Tang Hexiao unconsciously glanced at Shao Yigui in confusion, then nodded: "That was the time."

"I didn't expect that my intersection with your brothers was so long ago."

Tang Hexiao was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "So at that time, I thought it was destined, and my head got hot for a while."

"It's as if I'm a fire pit." Shao Yigui deliberately dispelled Tang Hexiao's heavy expression, and joked that he was at a disadvantage.

Fortunately, Tang Hexiao held the field and smiled lightly.Immediately, he raised his head and cheered up a little: "However, it's not a bad thing to know you. Although you are not a good lover, I think I have at least made a good friend. You have helped me so hard with my brother and me."

Shao Yigui felt very guilty about this. He did not help so much because he wanted to help the other party. It should be said that he liked challenges more.Of course, it is really inconvenient to say this kind of thing directly. He was hesitating how to answer, but Tang Hexiao quickly said by himself: "I know, you are not completely helping me, but anyway, you are really reliable and responsible. Brother Leaving the 'Tang Dynasty' all of a sudden, I don't know what to do, and my uncle is also at a loss. Fortunately, you gave me a lot of suggestions. These are not your business, and it has nothing to do with your victory or defeat, but you still think of reminders Me. At least you are the most serious and trustworthy person among the friends I know."

Shao Yigui was ashamed of accepting it, he couldn't help chuckling and said: "Then it seems that you have either too few friends or not much."

Tang Hexiao followed suit, and nodded in agreement: "That's right, a dude like me only makes friends with a bunch of dudes."

"Don't belittle yourself," Shao Yigui said with a somewhat serious smile, "You are not an ordinary dude, at least you are a motivated dude."

"I'm not motivated. For so many years, I haven't done anything seriously."

"Who said that? At least you are taking life seriously." Speaking of this, Shao Yigui couldn't help admiring Tang Hexiao.Tang Hexiao has been working hard to live out his pure self. No matter right or wrong, at least he responds to his heart seriously every time, and is willing and daring to be responsible for his actions.

Faced with such "commendations", Tang Hexiao raised his eyes slightly in surprise and looked at Shao Yigui: "This is not like what you would say."

After Tang Hexiao mentioned it, Shao Yigui also realized that this was not his way of thinking.He couldn't figure out why he would suddenly pull away from the profit-based reality to think about an unrealistic philosophy of life. After a while of unsuccessful research, he decided to bring the topic back to another important branch of the current topic.

"You said you went to see your brother, aside from this matter, how did you talk?"

When asked this question, Tang Hexiao's expression darkened immediately.

It could be seen that the two of them were not talking happily.That's right, Tang Hexiao took the "Tang Dynasty" from the other party, and Tang Linwen deliberately claimed that he had a problem with Shao Yigui in order to stimulate Tang Hexiao. Of course, they couldn't have a happy talk.

"Anyway," Tang Hexiao didn't hesitate for too long, and soon he said with clear determination and fighting spirit, "Brother is right in at least one sentence. Since I took the 'Tang Dynasty' from him, I will be responsible .I want him to see if I have the ability to keep the 'Tang Dynasty' well."

This is different from Shao Yigui's imagination.He didn't believe that Tang Linwen gave up "Tang Dynasty" so easily. "Do you think your brother will deliberately admit defeat, but he is secretly planning to take back the company?"

Tang Hexiao said in a low voice, "Brother went to Taizhou... He probably won't come back." Perhaps even he himself could hear the uneasiness and sadness of an abandoned child in these words.

Shao Yigui didn't hear it, because he was busy digesting this illogical information. "Your elder brother went to Taizhou? Why?"

Tang Hexiao replied with a straight face without thinking: "I don't know. Big brother never tells me why he does anything."

"Then how can you confirm that he went to Taizhou?"

"He consigned some things there, things that he would take with him when he moved."

The dishes they ordered were served one after another at this time.Shao Yigui glanced at the delicacies that made him lose his appetite, and decided to improve his efficiency. He turned to Tang Hexiao and said, "You said that I am not a good lover, but I will be a good friend. I hope you can treat me as a friend in the future."

Tang Hexiao looked back at Shao Yigui, his expression was stiff for a moment, but soon, he showed a light and relieved smile, and said: "You must be better at making friends with ex-lover than I am, but I can also try .After all, the friends I know are 'not so good', I should know some reliable and responsible friends."

"As the one who is better at making friends with ex-lover, I have a trick to teach you - when you are confused or in trouble, just ask your friends for help. Take care of each other, this is the real friend." Shao Yi Gui gave the final conclusion of today's conversation, he stood up, "I still have something to do, I have to go first."

In fact, Shao Yigui is fine.

If it must be said that he has something to do, it should be a person thinking quietly.

Shao Yigui, who came to the parking lot, was not in a hurry to start the car. He sat in the driver's seat and reviewed his entire plan repeatedly, imagining what he would do if he were Tang Linwen.He felt that no matter what, he would not leave far away at this time.He tried his best to find out the motive of Tang Linwen's actions, and tried to find out the way of thinking and behavior of Tang Linwen from the actions he had seen in the past few days.

Suddenly, he remembered something——

At that time, Tang Linwen told him that he would still try to separate Tang Hexiao and Shao Yigui if he had the chance.A few minutes before he said this, he was inexplicably tempting Shao Yigui to take off his clothes. At that time, he saw the birthmark on Shao Yigui's body, which he used as evidence afterwards to say the most ridiculous Lies, in order to successfully make Tang Hexiao take the initiative to break up.

— This is obviously no coincidence.

When Tang Linwen designed Shao Yigui to take off his clothes, it was actually to check the hidden features of Shao Yigui's body.At that moment, he had already planned the whole plan.He wants Tang Hexiao to face the fact that he can't trust Shao Yigui at all, so that he can figure out how to break up with Shao Yigui.And he did that to protect his younger brother.He also knew that Tang Hexiao couldn't trust Shao Yigui, and shouldn't trust Shao Yigui, so he used special means to force Tang Hexiao to accept the facts.This is better than Tang Hexiao getting deeper and deeper, and being abandoned by Shao Yigui, who has no long-term character, when he is unable to extricate himself.

In this way, when Tang Linwen lied to Tang Hexiao that he had a one-night stand with Shao Yigui, he didn't intentionally use this lie to stimulate and hurt Tang Hexiao because he was angry.Instead, he said it for his own brother.After Tang Hexiao colluded with his uncle to snatch the "Tang Dynasty" from him, he still acted for his younger brother's sake.

Tang Hexiao once complained that Tang Linwen was not a good brother. Perhaps Tang Linwen was too autocratic to care for his younger brother with tenderness and meticulousness. But at least, he wanted to be a good brother in his heart and fulfill his responsibilities. I want to protect my younger brother from getting hurt.

For such an elder brother, he would naturally not try to fight for the family property with his younger brother.The conversation that Tang Hexiao thought was unpleasant, from this point of view, Tang Linwen should have done it deliberately.Tang Hexiao is not really a mediocre person, but he needs someone to spur him on.At that time, Tang Lin asked about something like "Even if you take away the 'Tang Dynasty', how long do you think you can hold on?"This is not a provocation or a slander out of anger, he is just stimulating Tang Hexiao's fighting spirit.

Taking all the factors into consideration, the conclusion is obvious——

Shao Yigui had been pondering for so long about Tang Linwen's back move, it really didn't exist at all.Tang Linwen gave up easily because he had no intention of fighting with his younger brother.

He went to Taizhou, perhaps preparing to start a new life there.

In short, no matter what Tang Linwen planned to do, he would not harm Tang Hexiao, and likewise, he would not win the current battle.

In other words, Shao Yigui no longer needed to guard against Tang Linwen.

This win-lose game is over.It ended with Shao Yigui winning.

... However, Shao Yigui always felt that there was no end.

Before starting the car, Shao Yigui called a friend he knew who had many ideas.

"Find someone for me."

"Young Master Shao still has a number that you can't get, and someone who needs someone to help you look it up?"

"I want to check the whereabouts of a person and where he is now."

"You better not tell me what you're going to do."

"I'm not going to tell you." In fact, Shao Yigui didn't even know what his plan was.

"Okay, who do you want to check?"

"Tang Lin asked."

"That Tang Lin from 'Tang Dynasty' asked?"

"Yes."

"You are so well informed, you should know that he was kicked out of the 'Tang Dynasty' by his younger brother, right?"

"I know."

"Then you still check him?"

"Yes, I'm still checking him."

"...You really can't get his mobile phone number, do you need me to look it up for you?"

It was obviously not the case at all, but Shao Yigui was suddenly curious about the answer to this question. "Do you think that if I ask Tang Lin for my phone number, I won't be able to get it?"

The friend's answer was affirmative without hesitation. "I can't."

For this judgment, Shao Yigui is absolutely not convinced.Not to mention that Tang Linwen should be gay, even if he is not, Shao Yigui is confident that he can win over him.

The friend obviously understands Shao Yigui's temper, and at this moment vigilantly added a warning: "Yigui, I just said it casually, you must not try it seriously just to prove that you can do it."

"I won't do that." Shao Yigui replied instinctively, this was not a lie.Speaking of it, he didn't think there was any change in himself, but he thought that unless it was sincere, he would never try Tang Lin to ask.
