compassion

Thank you boss starfish!One day off tomorrow~

After arriving at the restaurant they reserved, Shen Heng's negative emotions brought about by Shen Ancheng's appearance disappeared.It was easy for him to become happy in front of Xie Zhang.

This restaurant is located in the most expensive part of the city center, overlooking most of the city, and can also see the river view. The opposite side of the river is the place where the electronic fireworks show is held every New Year's Day and Spring Festival.

Xie Zhang also celebrated the New Year here the year he took charge of the Xie family. At that time, Yuan Zheng was still alive, and Xiaodou Sprout was not yet born. The whole restaurant.

Then he tasted the solitude of the whole night.

Later, Xie Zhang never ran a private restaurant again, which seems a bit funny to him now.

So there are many people in the restaurant today, most of them are couples, and there are also some families of three and families with three or even four generations living together.

Shen Heng followed Xie Zhang, and when he walked a certain distance, Xie Zhang suddenly looked back and reached out to him: "From now on, you must walk side by side with me, don't make yourself look like my assistant or follower."

Shen Heng looked at the palm spread in front of him, with slender fingers and round belly, he only took a second to make a decision, stepped forward to hold Xie Zhang's hand, and told himself silently in his heart, today It was New Year's Eve, and he was very sad today, and Xie Zhang also took the initiative to hold his hand-he had three reasons before he had the courage to hold Xie Zhang's hand.

Their location is at the place with the best view in the entire restaurant. Xie Zhang had already ordered the dishes in advance, so the dishes were ready within 5 minutes after they were seated.

But Xie Zhang didn't bring the driver, and Shen Heng didn't have a driver's license, so he couldn't drink.

Apart from this, the time, place, and people are all too good to be true, so that Shen Heng always has the illusion that they are dating.

But this imaginary beauty lasted less than half an hour.

Xie Zhang received a video call from Xiaodou Sprout.

The little girl was wearing a very beautiful floral dress, combing a pair of tunics, her milky little face was smiling sweetly and cutely, and shouted to Xie Zhang: "Dad, Happy New Year!"

Shen Heng stopped picking up the food, but he couldn't pick it up.

He thought of a very inappropriate metaphor, he was a fake Cinderella, he couldn't even wait until midnight, and the imaginary date was in vain.

Xie Zhang put on the earphones, smiled softly, and asked Xiaodou Sprout if she had listened to her mother, and if she had eaten well.

The person who was so scary in front of Shen Ancheng just now is so gentle in front of the little girl that Shen Heng envies.

Shen Heng didn't understand what kind of woman was going to divorce after having such a good man as Xie Zhang and such a lovely daughter as Xiaodou Sprout.

After a while, Xie Zhang's call ended, Shen Heng was distracted, he didn't quite hear what Xie Zhang said to Xiao Douya'er later, it was Xie Zhang's hand shaking in front of his eyes that made him come back to his senses.

Xie Zhang had put away his mobile phone and asked him, "Why are you in a daze?"

Shen Heng shook his head, lowered his head, took a bite of his meal, and said another nonsensical topic: "I'm going to take the college entrance examination soon."

Xie Zhang took his words naturally: "Are you nervous? Have you thought about which university you want to go to?"

Shen Heng looked at Xie Zhang, and suddenly felt the urge to cry.

He was indeed not brave enough, but he didn't cry very much, except when his mother passed away, Shen Heng never shed tears.

He just felt that when he finished college, there would be no reason to stay with Xie Zhang, but he really didn't want to leave Xie Zhang.

He didn't answer, so Xie Zhang didn't ask him any more. He was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about how to speak, and after a while, he said again: "Heng."

Shen Heng raised his head and looked at Xie Zhang.

Xie Zhang glanced at his mobile phone, and said, "There is one thing... I think I can tell you. Xiaodou Sprout's biological father is a good friend of mine. He is a policeman. Sacrifice at the age of one."

The truth was far from Shen Heng's own wild thoughts. Shen Heng was surprised and shocked, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Xie Zhang added: "I have never had an ex-wife, nor have I ever had a lover."

Shen Heng was still in a daze, not quite understanding why Xie Zhang suddenly mentioned this to him.

Or in fact, he also had some conjectures in his subconscious, but Shen Heng didn't dare, so he didn't make this conjecture concrete, and only secretly gave birth to some unexplained happiness in his heart.

Shen Heng didn't respond, but Xie Zhang didn't intend to say more, so he put a piece of fish maw to Shen Heng's mouth, and said with a smile, "I'm being stupid again."

Shen Heng waited for a while before his thinking began to function normally.

He couldn't tell if Xie Zhang was sad. Xie Zhang was strong and reliable, and he rarely showed negative emotions.

But he guessed that Xie Zhang cared about Xiaodouya'er's biological father very much, so he deduced that Xie Zhang might have missed his old friend because he received a video call from Xiaodouya'er at such a special time as New Year's Eve.

Shen Heng pursed his lips, propped his elbows on the table, leaned closer, and racked his brains to come up with a joke: "Brother, a medium-rare steak and a medium-rare steak met on the road, but They didn't say hello, do you know why?"

Without waiting for Xie Zhang to answer, he said to himself, "Because they are not familiar with each other!"

He couldn't hold back his own smile, and then saw that Xie Zhang didn't smile, and looked helplessly at him, so he was embarrassed: "It's not funny..."

He failed to make Xie Zhang laugh, a little frustrated, he found a place for himself: "Then I will think of another one."

Xie Zhang seemed to react a little too late, but now he suddenly laughed again, raised his hand to stroke Shen Heng's stiff hair, and said to him, "Little fool."

He also just wanted to explain, he didn't want Shen Heng to misunderstand the matter of Little Bean Sprouts, Liu Tang was right, just in case.

But this little fool didn't seem to understand what he meant.

So Xie Zhang had no choice but to say: "I'm not sad, hurry up and eat well."

He is very good at deceiving people, he can play around with everyone in the Xie family, so of course he can easily deceive Shen Heng.

——Shen Heng may leave him soon, and he doesn't know anything about his thoughts, Xie Zhang is still a little sad.

But it doesn't matter, Xie Zhang has a strong self-emotional regulation ability.
