you are so tender

The night before leaving for Wuhan, Xu Man left the hotel where Xiao Chunan lived at almost ten o'clock and returned home.After washing up and getting ready for an early rest, Xu Man lay on the bed and said to Tian Xiaohui: "This time I went to Wuhan, I only planned to go back to the headquarters to report on my work. Now there is an extra case, and it happens that the key witness's hometown is Enshi, Hubei, so I have to go there Enshi is looking for this person. So how long this trip will take, I can't say for sure."

"What does that matter? Work is important, and I'll come back when I'm done. I'll wait for you, and I will miss you." Tian Xiaohui said.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you, Xiaohui."

"What's the matter? Xu Man, it's just a business trip, don't make it look like you are parting from life and death, look at your seriousness!"

"Am I serious?" Xu Man couldn't see his expression, but Tian Xiaohui did.Xu Man continued: "This time when I return to Wuhan, I plan to ask Wu Xiaolan to meet Xiao Chunan and introduce them to each other. Wu Xiaolan's hometown happens to be in Enshi, and I may let Wu Xiaolan go to Enshi with me."

"Oh. I see. Are you afraid that I will be jealous?" Tian Xiaohui said.

"Whether you're jealous or not, I don't know. Anyway, I think I have to tell you." Xu Man said.

"Xu Man, I will be jealous. But I will only be jealous of you alone, and I will not be jealous of others. I don't care who you meet, as long as you are loyal to me."

"Xiaohui, don't worry. Not only will I be loyal to you, but I will also defend you like a jade." Xu Man swore.

"Then I'm relieved." Tian Xiaohui said, "However, Xu Man. Do you need to show your utter loyalty?" Tian Xiaohui gave Xu Man a look, and you understand what that means.

"Necessary." Xu Man understood, "However, Xiaohui, you get up and make breakfast tomorrow morning, and let me sleep a little longer."

"Hmph! Look at what you mean, are you going to do your best tonight?" Tian Xiaohui asked.

"Otherwise?" Xu Man replied.

The next morning, Tian Xiaohui sent Xu Man and Xiao Chunan to Zhongshan North Station, where they will take G72 to Wuhan.Seeing Xu Man's high-spirited attitude, Xiao Chunan was very moved.Because she found that this kind of Xu Man is the partner she can deal with freely, she and her don't need to hesitate, and don't need to be ashamed.Not long after boarding the G72 from Guangzhou South Railway Station, Xu Man stood up and said, "Wait, male sister, I'll go buy two cups of hot coffee."

"What are you in a hurry for? Xu Man, someone will come to sell it later." Xiao Chunan said.

"Don't wait, I want to drink now." After speaking, Xu Man went to find the catering service compartment.

"Xu Man, I didn't expect you to set up a branch office so quickly." Xiao Chunan said while drinking coffee, "You join the measurement, I have picked up a treasure, and I feel even more powerful! By the way, Xu Man, the male sister is like this Speaking of which, don't you think it's too boastful?"

"Where will it be? It's obviously worthy of the name. The male sister is more than a tiger... she is a super tigress." This is the first time Xu Man joked with Xiao Chunan, "I told the male sister that I am a soldier under your command. With you Such a commander-in-chief, I am willing to lose my mind."

"Okay, Xu Man. Why did you express your determination to me?" Xiao Chunan then asked, "By the way, have you told Wu Xiaolan when you return to Wuhan this time?"

"I sent her a private message. I will call her after reporting to the office. Male sister, I would like to ask you to spare some time. I will arrange to have dinner with Wu Xiaolan." Xu Man said.

"No problem. Just make arrangements. Just let me know." Xiao Chunan agreed.He also said: "I don't think you should go back to the institute in the afternoon. You didn't go back to Wuhan during the Chinese New Year. You should go home early and have a look. I am also very tired. I want to take a rest. I will go back to the institute tomorrow for a meeting, and then you can start working on it." It's about the case."

"That's good. When I arrive in Wuhan, I won't have lunch with the male sister anymore. I'll go home directly." Xu Man said.

It was past one o'clock when Xu Man returned to her parents' house in Wuhan University, and a table of dishes was prepared to welcome her back.Xu Man was very moved.I had a phone call with my father a few years ago, originally to ask for warmth, but I let my own temper hurt the hearts of the two old people severely.The parents, with their usual kind faces, obviously ignored their daughter, and Xu Man couldn't help but feel ashamed of herself for being so disobedient.Of course, Xu Man is Xu Man, shame is shame, Xu Man can't give up her principles, she just feels that she shouldn't be so arrogant and mean.But whenever she tried some kind of tactful way to communicate with her parents, she always felt powerless, so she gave up before trying.Xu Man was very annoyed by this, thinking why couldn't I do it?She couldn't think of a trick, and finally threw herself a conclusion: Hey, there is no way, I am not Tian Xiaohui.

The parents have gained a lot of wisdom, not to mention they have suffered a lot. When they met Xu Man this time, they didn't say a word about the issue of their daughter's remarriage.But they asked about the situation of their granddaughter, and they felt that this was not a taboo and should be taken for granted.Xu Man replied: "I met Jiaojiao once a year ago, and she looked good. Jiaojiao doesn't recognize me anymore, and it's not convenient for me to see her during the Chinese New Year."

"Xiaoman, let me tell you that you have a big heart to be a mother!" The mother couldn't help but scold Xu Man, "If your biological daughter follows the stepmother, can you have a child?"

"What can I do?" As soon as Xu Man opened his mouth, he immediately realized that no, no, why did I talk like this again.So he explained to his mother gently: "Mom, you don't have to worry. Really, I have seen it with my own eyes. I met Yang Guangzhi's family in the park. His mother was holding the little one, and his wife was leading him. Jiaojiao, it seems that Jiaojiao is closer to her stepmother than to her biological father. Besides, Mom, I can't take care of Jiaojiao by myself now. Anyway, I will return to Jiaojiao's side. In case she What happened, don't you still have me?"

"It's a crime." The mother sighed, "You're divorced, you just lose your man, why don't you even recognize your own daughter."

Xu Man once again felt the violent fluctuation of the emotional curve. Fortunately, before she could express anything, her father had already said: "Old woman, please stop talking. Do you have to make Xiaoman not even recognize you, so that you can get out of bed?" Is it going to stop?" The father didn't try to dissuade the mother, he clearly meant that Sang scolded Huai to add fuel to the fire.However, the sons and daughters of the Chinese people are so ambitious, Xu Man turned around instead.She stood up, walked over, hugged her mother with both hands and said: "Now I have an old man and a young man, and the young ones don't recognize me. I want to hold on to the old ones. Mom, you definitely won't deny me as a daughter." , I know my dad won't either. I didn't come here to make amends to you two old people. I came here on a special trip, really. My daughter is not filial, and my daughter has a daughter herself. I want you to worry about me, and my heart is about to break Yes. Mom, why do you think I don’t let you worry so much? I promise you, when I recognize Jiaojiao, I will bring Jiaojiao back to Wuhan to visit you.”

Xu Man's sincere confession really gave his parents great comfort.It sounds especially useful to my father, because Xu Man has never been able to spit ivory out of a dog's mouth, and has never said a decent word of warmth to his parents. "Xiaoman, you don't need to pay too much attention to what your mother said. She is old-headed, and she is afraid that Jiaojiao will suffer with her stepmother. According to what you said, Jiaojiao is very lucky, and this child is blessed. You don't have to worry, your own You can't lose your daughter, it's always yours. Your mother and I are getting older, so worrying about it won't help. In the future, you should pay more attention to your own affairs. If you want to talk about it, just tell us. If you don't want to talk about it, tell us. Let's report that we are safe," said the father.It was only then that Xu Man discovered that it was not impossible to have a peaceful relationship with his parents.

Xu Man happily had lunch with his parents, and then let them take a lunch break, saying that he would go out to do some errands in the afternoon.She dialed Wu Xiaolan's phone number. This was the first time she had contacted her by phone after leaving Wu Xiaolan.

"Xiaolan, I want to meet you. Is it convenient for you this afternoon?" Xu Man said.

"Sister Man..." Wu Xiaolan paused, "Come to the cafe near our company and let me know before you leave."

After putting down the phone, Xu Man suddenly became a little nervous.Meet Wu Xiaolan, what did she say to her?What would Wu Xiaolan say to her?Xu Man was unprepared and unable to speculate.Different from her own job, Xu Man never makes preparations when it comes to dealing with people and the world, and only does what should be done.She made an appointment with Xiao Chunan, but felt that it was necessary to have a private meeting with Wu Xiaolan first, both emotionally and rationally.Xu Man couldn't predict the result of her farewell and goodbye not long ago, but no matter what the result was, she couldn't avoid it.

After Xu Man set off, he sent a private message to Wu Xiaolan halfway to say he was leaving.Wu Xiaolan sent a location map of the cafe, and Xu Man also knew which one was where.When Wu Xiaolan appeared, Xu Man was already waiting in a semi-open private room in the corner. This cafe does not have a separate private room.Xu Man was somewhat surprised, but she would be surprised when any kind of Wu Xiaolan appeared in front of her.But what surprised her was that Wu Xiaolan was the same as before.She is still so soft, no matter how sharp the light and shadow are, it will be transformed into a warm color when it comes to her, adding a warm feeling to the world.Wu Xiaolan is actually very fair, her skin is smooth and flawless, but she does not have any reflections. Her beauty is not stunning and dazzling, but just like returning to her hometown to relive the vaguely dreamlike feelings.Wu Xiaolan's situation was an unsolvable pantomime played by God's will, and almost no one could explain why there could not be a returning ship moored in her warm harbor.Xu Man is undoubtedly the closest person to Wu Xiaolan. She met Wu Xiaolan's serenity that surpassed her physical body, and she didn't fail in front of this shield of tranquility like countless suitors did.Relying on her innate vigor and courage to pierce the clouds and fog, Wu Xiaolan allowed Wu Xiaolan to release the contained enthusiasm to the maximum extent.It's a pity that she left in a hurry and did not grasp the code of Wu Xiaolan's fate.It's not that Wu Xiaolan lacks enthusiasm, but on the contrary, this enthusiasm clarifies Xu Man's love.In the final analysis, she couldn't let go of another harbor, and her heart had already been given to another person, Tian Xiaohui.

Wu Xiaolan sat down opposite Xu Man, and they could have a clear view of the old couple.Xu Man didn't need to feel uneasy because of her defection. Wu Xiaolan met her just like dating a daily friend.Xu Man didn't need to give any explanation, besides, she had already confessed honestly.However, Xu Man still didn't know how to speak, but it was the quiet Wu Xiaolan who spoke first: "Sister Man, I thought you would never see me again. It seems I was wrong, and I should never underestimate your nobility quality."

"Xiaolan, don't say that, it makes me feel ashamed. I'm sorry for you, even if I want to express my apology solemnly, I will find a chance to see you again." Xu Man said.

"Sister Man, even though you left me, you are still the most important person in my life." Wu Xiaolan said.

"Xiaolan, thank you for valuing me so much. Please believe me, the most important person in your life hasn't appeared yet, but it will definitely appear. It is precisely because I can't be that person that I have to leave."

"Sister Man, it was you who helped me break the curse of 'Miss March', even though I became alone again. It was you who made me a real woman and let me taste the sweetness of love. Although you left, you still The aftertaste is endless. Sister Man, you have nothing to do to me, and there is no need to apologize. "

Xu Man's eye sockets became moist all of a sudden. "Xiaolan, please sit down, I want to rely on you."

Wu Xiaolan walked over, sat on the double sofa with Xu Man, gave her hand to Xu Man, and leaned her head on Xu Man's shoulder.She didn't speak, and let the tears flow silently.

"Xiaolan, I won't say sorry anymore. But please promise me that you will be my best sister for the rest of your life." Xu Man said sincerely.Wu Xiaolan didn't speak, just nodded. "I'm going back to Wuhan on business this time. I'll stay for a few more days, and I'll meet you again. You're still at work, so we won't talk much today. Do you think it's okay?"

"Okay, Sister Man. Then I won't see you off either. Call me anytime you're free." Wu Xiaolan said.
