Rebirth: Pick up the attack and run

The environment inside the store is very elegant, the area is small, but the decoration is very chic, with Phnom Penh Chlorophytum hanging on the wall, and dense asparagus bamboo placed on the table, forming a natural barrier.

Zhao Bihua is wearing a light-colored cheongsam, a retro orange silk scarf around her neck, and carrying a small Kun bag. She is exquisite and elegant. She looks a little tired, but with light makeup, she still looks very energetic.

Xie Shi pulled out the chair for her.

Zhao Bihua thanked politely, bowed Yingying, and sat down gracefully.

Xie Shi sat down opposite her, glanced at her hastily, and paused for a while on the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes.

"What do you want to eat?" Zhao Bihua asked softly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, flipping over the menu with his hand.

"Whatever." Xie Shi glanced at the ring on her finger calmly, and said calmly, "Long time no see."

Zhao Bihua stopped moving, looked at Xie Shi with wet eyes, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Xie Shi leaned back, looked out the window expressionlessly, and said, "That's it."

"Okay." Zhao Bihua nodded, looked away, and asked again: "What do you want to eat?"

Xie Shi still replied: "Anything."

Zhao Bihua smiled and said, "I'm a vegetarian, but you are growing up, how about some meat?"

Xie Shi held the rim of the cup tightly with his fingers, and said calmly: "The days of my growing body are long gone."

Zhao Bihua didn't answer, but forced a smile and said, "You can't eat without meat."

Xie Shi said "oh" and said, "Chinese is not bad. After all these years, I thought you could only speak English."

Zhao Bihua took a deep breath, as women are getting older, their necks are the first to age, and she is no exception, fine wrinkles can be seen faintly under the silk scarf, she frowned slightly, and said: "Do you have to talk to your mother like this? "

After two rounds of confrontation between the two, she lost her patience.

Also, she has never been impatient with others.

Xie Shi lowered his eyes and did not speak. After a while, Zhao Bihua sighed and took a sip of tea. The tea was very bitter, and she couldn't help frowning.

Zhao Bihua has always been extremely elegant. When other people's mothers go to the kitchen to wash clothes, she babbles and sings to Kunqu opera in the house. The cicada sound will be longer.Even if she doesn't go out, she must be well-dressed.

When Xie Shi was young, his parents were at odds and often quarreled. People like Zhao Bihua usually spoke in a soft voice, and they couldn't do anything to quarrel loudly. In this world, he didn't even bother to give Xiao Xie a comforting smile.

The two were silent for a while, then Zhao Bihua called the waiter to order, flipped through the menu, and said, "What do you like to eat..."

Before she finished speaking, she herself felt embarrassed. How can a mother not know what her son likes.

Xie Shi pretended not to hear, took the menu, and ordered by himself.

Zhao Bihua took out a small mirror from her bag, wiped off her lipstick, and suddenly froze when she heard what Xie Shi ordered. She pursed her lips and raised her head to ask, "You ordered all the dishes I like, what can I do?"

Xie Shi said with no expression on his face: "Let's eat, I'm hungry." He paused, and then said: "It's my own opinion. You have been abroad for so many years, and your taste must have changed long ago."

"No, no, mom likes everything you ordered." Zhao Bihua laughed, with a few fine lines in the corners of her eyes inadvertently.

Xie Shi looked away a little annoyed.

Zhao Bihua put a bamboo shoot in Xie Shi's bowl and said, "Eat more."

"Why did you go back to China suddenly?" Xie picked up his chopsticks and poked in the bowl, feeling that he couldn't eat.

Zhao Bihua smiled and said, "I happened to see your news when I came back to China for a trip, so I stopped by to see you."

"Oh, by the way." Xie Shi nodded, raised his chopsticks expressionlessly, put them down again, and asked, "When are you leaving?"

Zhao Bihua thought for a while and said, "I will stay in China for a while, and I will leave next month. During this time..." She paused, then lowered her head and said, "If you miss me, you can come and see me .”

Xie Shi finally couldn't help it, and said word by word: "I won't."

He repeated again: "I won't miss you."

Zhao Bihua raised his hand and stroked his delicate hair. With a bitter smile, he said, "Why are you doing this? It's not easy for us to meet again. Let's have a good meal together. Don't mention those unhappy things, isn't it good?"

Xie Shi held his breath in his chest and couldn't say anything. For a moment, he almost wanted to lift the table and walk away.

Xie Shi raised his head and stared into Zhao Bihua's eyes, and slowly said: "I finally know who I am following my withdrawn temperament. I never dare to solve problems when I encounter them, and I only leave a lot of things to others."

He said, "Yet you are more hateful than I."

Zhao Bihua took a heavy breath, frowned and said, "Xiao Shi, don't talk to mom like this."

Xie Shi said: "Do you remember that when you were young, you quarreled with him, and he didn't come back at night, so you ran into my room in the middle of the night and woke me up?"

Zhao Bihua didn't remember, and looked at Xie Shi in bewilderment.

Xie Shi smiled with the corners of his mouth, and said: "I seemed to be ten years old at that time. You couldn't cry enough by yourself, but you ran to my room, turned on all the lights, and cried with your arms around me..."

Zhao Bihua remembered, but she didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this. She pursed her lips and said, "Yes, I was very sad at that time. Although you are young, you are very calm. When you saw me crying, you patted my back." comfort me."

"Ha, calm? Do you know what I was thinking at that time?" Xie Shi stared at her intently, and said, "In the middle of the night, your face was still wearing makeup, washed away by tears, like a female ghost, You ran in and woke me up, hugged me and cried, I thought, why do I have such a selfish mother? Can’t I cry quietly by myself? Why do you drag me in, I really want to drive you out, Hide under the quilt and sleep alone. I'm only ten years old, what do I need, what's on my mind, but you never think about it for me! You don't care! You don't care! Do I deserve it? "

Zhao Bihua's face turned pale.

Xie Shi said expressionlessly: "Yes, I don't want to share your so-called pain with you at that time."

Zhao Bihua looked at him incredulously.

Xie Shi added: "Later, that incident happened when I was 15 years old. As expected, you left everything and left. Guess what I did after you left?"

Zhao Bihua stared at him blankly.

Xie Shi's eyes were red, he clenched his fist tightly, but with a smile on his mouth, he said: "I am the same as you, I did the same thing, and I ran away. At that time, I realized that I am actually the same as you in my bones." , cowardly and selfish."

"Don't talk about it anymore." Zhao Bihua covered his face in pain and said, "You clearly know that your father and I have no feelings for each other. Even if we had feelings, they would have been wiped out by him long ago! What's wrong with me leaving? I I was only 39 years old at the time, and people said I didn't look more than [-] with makeup. He was going to spend the rest of his life in prison, but I was still young for the rest of my life. Why couldn't I just walk away? I cleaned up the mess for him, You've done your best! Do you think it's good for me to hear you say these words now?"

"What about me? I'm included in the mess you cleaned up?" Xie Shi asked coldly.

Zhao Bihua choked, and tears trickled down from her fingertips. After a long time, she choked up and said, "Back then you had already grown up."

Xie Shi laughed numbly, and said, "Yes, in your eyes, since when was I a child?" After a while, he said again: "After all these years, you still haven't changed at all, yes? I expected more, Mom."

Zhao Bihua raised his head suddenly, but was so startled by the last word that he didn't dare to move.

Xie Shi tiredly picked up the chopsticks in front of Zhao Bihua, handed them to her, and said, "Eat, I'll go back to City A after this meal, I shouldn't have come to see you, you have your own new life anyway, If you miss me in the future, just look through the photos and don't call me."

Zhao Bihua tried her best to keep calm, but still couldn't. She went to the bathroom to tidy up her appearance, and when she came back, she was that delicate and elegant woman again.

Zhao Bihua looked at Xie Shi, sighed, and said, "You didn't want to come see me."

"Yes." Xie Shi replied without hesitation.

Zhao Bihua smiled bitterly, and said, "But you still came. You came here just to say this, to make me feel uncomfortable and to make me suffer. That's your purpose, right?"

The redness around Xie Shi's eyes had dissipated. He stared at Zhao Bihua for a while, his expression returned to indifference, and he said after a while: "Did you know that I would say such a thing, and you would not come? You should have thought in your heart all these years What kind of person will your son grow up to be? Are you disappointed to see me?"

Zhao Bihua shook his head and said, "No, I'm very happy."

Xie Shi frowned.

Zhao Bihua carefully looked at his face, Xie Shi was very delicate when he was a child, now his facial features are wide open, he is unbelievably handsome, even though his expression is cold, Zhao Bihua remembered the little Xie Shi who was like a bun when he was a child, she I really want to reach out and touch it, but I hold back after all.

Zhao Bihua sighed, and said: "You are much more cheerful than before, and you have your own ideas. You used to not talk much in front of me, and I don't know you very well. It is my fault that the relationship is alienated."

She sighed: "It's too late to make up for the mistakes of the past."

Xie Shi mocked: "Besides, you don't have any intention of making up for it, do you?"

Zhao Bihua stared at him, smiled, and said: "I hope you can find someone in the future. In front of her, you don't have to work very hard. You can laugh when you are happy, cry when you are sad, and express your emotions. This way you Not too lonely..." She paused, and then said: "When I was young, I loved you very much, but I always transferred my feelings towards Xie Changhua to you. This is wrong, and I regret it too...Now you With such a big change, you will get angry in front of me and say that you are unhappy, but in fact, I am very happy..."

Xie Shi closed his eyes and did not speak.

Zhao Bihua looked around his face, and said: "Since this is the last meal, you have to be happy, come, son, eat this." She picked up a chopstick and put it in Xie Shi's bowl .

Xie Shi disliked her words very much, but after struggling for a long time, he still picked up the chopsticks.

The two were silent and had a very heavy meal. Suddenly, Xie Shi's cell phone rang.

Xie Shi looked at the caller ID, then looked up at Zhao Bihua, walked away a few steps, stood beside a bamboo tree, and answered the phone.

Shen Xun asked over there, "Where are you now?"

Xie Shi was silent for a moment, unable to explain to him, chose to lie, and said in a low voice, "Dinning with friends outside."

Shen Xun's voice seemed to be frozen, and he said, "It seems that I also know this friend."

Xie Shi was stunned for a moment, then panicked. As soon as he turned his head, he was caught off guard and saw Shen Xun getting off the car on the opposite road, holding the phone in his hand, slamming the car door hard, and walking towards this side in big strides.

"Why don't you introduce me." Through a layer of glass, Shen Xun's expression looked extremely cold.

Xie Shi: "..."

The last thing he wanted to see happened.

Just as Xie Shi was about to say something, Shen Xun pushed the door open and came in. The clerk lying behind the counter saw his eyes light up and leaned over to guide him, but Shen Xun pushed the man away and walked straight towards him come over.

He should still be abroad at this moment.

Xie Shi's heart skipped a beat, and just as he turned around to stop him, Shen Xun walked past him without looking sideways.

When the two passed by, Xie Shi tensed up.

Shen Xun stood opposite Zhao Bihua, his tall figure cast a long black shadow on the table, Zhao Bihua felt his eyes dim, and raised his head inexplicably.

The atmosphere was tense, Zhao Bihua narrowed his eyes, and asked softly, "Are you..."

Shen Xun sneered: "You don't remember?"

Zhao Bihua was stunned for a moment, looked at him carefully, took a breath in his heart, and immediately his face changed slightly.

Shen Xun saw it in his eyes, and there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Xie Shi came over to stand in front of Shen Xun, and said in a low voice, "No." There was a hint of pleading in his voice.

Shen Xun looked back at him, his expression softened.If he is angry again, Xie Shi came out to see Zhao Bihua alone and deceived him, no matter how much he hates Xie Changhua and Zhao Bihua, he must calm down now.

If the gap between him and Xie Shi is not mentioned, it does not mean that it does not exist. Zhao Bihua is one of them. If he turns his face in front of Xie Shi at this moment, the road between the two of them may not be able to go on in the future.

Now that Xie Shi has already walked so many steps towards him, it is not impossible for him to walk the rest of the way.

Shen Xun turned his head, his expression became cold again, he took out a piece of money, and said coldly to Zhao Bihua: "You take a taxi back by yourself, I'm afraid Xie Shi won't be able to see you off."

Zhao Bihua was a little displeased, and put the hair from her sideburns behind her ears, and said, "I'm his mother, and who are you?"

"Pretending not to know each other, isn't it interesting?" Shen Xun sneered, ignored her, pulled Xie Shi to the door, and paid the bill at the front desk.

Zhao Bihua caught up and seemed to have something to say.

Shen Xun turned around directly, with a tall and slender figure, naturally a bit taller, he lowered his head, looked at Zhao Bihua condescendingly, and said: "Xie Shi's business is my business, and what right do you have to take care of my business?" ?”

Zhao Bihua frowned.

"Let's go." Shen Xun said to Xie Shi.

Zhao Bihua looked up at Xie Shi, took him by the arm, and said, "I have something from back then that I must tell you. This time I returned to China to..."

Shen Xun dragged Xie Shi behind him, and said coldly to Zhao Bihua, "I'm sorry, he doesn't want to hear it."

Zhao Bihua: "..."

Xie Shi took the coat from the waiter at the door, stopped in place and paused.

Shen Xun's eyes turned cold, and he stared at him firmly: "Aren't you leaving?"

Zhao Bihua hurriedly said to Xie Shi: "Next time we meet..."

Shen Xun glanced at Xie Shi, his eyes became colder and colder, he turned and walked out the door, with a murderous aura on his body, his back was indifferent and decisive.

Xie Shi panicked and hurried to catch up.
