In an instant, my whole mind was taken away, and I looked at Mr. Xia's face with a dazed expression. Just, just now——he, he kissed my face?

"Xia, Mr. Xia, you, just now...why did you kiss me on the cheek?" I couldn't help feeling shy, and even tied my speech.

Mr. Xia pretended to think, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, I can't help but see your cute expression."

I lowered my head and asked, "Is Mr. Xia teasing me?"

Mr. Xia propped his hands on the back of the sofa, and kept leaning over, "I don't know...but does Tong Ling think I'm teasing you?"

I blinked and tried hard to understand the meaning of this sentence. If he was really teasing me, why did he ask me if he was teasing me?He himself should know this best, and I was so embarrassed when he asked me that I didn't know how to respond.

Or, asking me this question is actually trying to tease me...

I sneaked a glance at Mr. Xia, and looked at his "enjoyed teasing me" expression.

I sighed lightly, then smiled and said, "Well, since it's really a teasing, then I don't care about it with you." Although I always felt that he might not be teasing me, but in order to resolve the embarrassment, I thought it was best to play dumb Methods.

"Then what if it's not?" He said suddenly, and my mind suddenly went blank, and it took me a long time to recover.

"No, isn't it... What does Mr. Xia mean by this sentence?" Saying that he wants to like someone else, and then suddenly kissed me on the cheek, isn't this just teasing?

"I just want you to like me." He said so firmly that I had no time to react.

I tried my best to calm down, sneered, and said, "How can I like Mr. Xia, haha..."

Mr. Xia suddenly smiled and said, "Of course I know."

"Because you like your brother?"

I froze for three seconds, thinking that Mr. Xia's words were really...fast, ruthless, and accurate, which caught people off guard.

I pretended to be calm, tried to show a bright smile, and asked, "Xia, Mr. Xia, why do you think so?"

"Just say you have everything written on your face," he said, pointing to my face.

After seeing my sluggish reaction, he went on to say, "Fool, isn't your brother the only person beside you who is 'not allowed to fall in love with you'?"

I suddenly realized that I had told Mr. Xia and Mr. Xia vaguely the answer before I knew it!Tong Ling, you are such a hopeless idiot, I will kill you to get rid of this idiot's personality!

"Tong Ling." Mr. Xia suddenly called me, and I looked up at him, only to see that his brows were deeply furrowed, and he hesitated to speak.

"I should have said that I saw your photo in Zijie's photo album..." He mentioned the "maid outfit" he mentioned in the car that day, and I couldn't help but feel awkward thinking about it.

"In the beginning, Zijie's photos occasionally captured your back, and even some inconspicuous shots, which were often scenes of you arguing or fighting with Li Peiyu, looking at me like...every time I see you That funny face will make you smile, and I even hope to see more of your expressions."

I opened my eyes wide and froze for a long time.

Why... seems to be confessing.

No, no matter how it sounds like a confession... What's worse is that I'm speechless at the moment, and I don't know how to respond.

"I was really happy to see you unexpectedly at Lianyi that day." As the words fell, Mr. Xia's hand touched my face. I looked at him in astonishment, and his eyes were looking at me affectionately. At this moment Avoidance is not, and neither is Zhengshou.

"Xia, Mister Xia..."

He raised an eyebrow, "Huh?"

"Why did you suddenly tell me this, these..."

He lowered his head thoughtfully, closed his eyes, and asked, "What? Does saying this now make you feel uncomfortable?"

I immediately shook my head in denial, "No, no! I was just thinking... Mr. Xia told me, what is it..."

Mr. Xia opened his mouth and was about to answer.

My heart skipped two seconds, I couldn't think, and my mind was in a mess. Just as I was thinking about what to do, the phone rang suddenly. I took out the phone from my pocket in a panic, and said sorry to Mr. Xia apologetically, He ran outside to answer the phone.

In fact, running out was just to resolve the embarrassment... I could have picked up the phone in front of Mr. Xia, but I didn't have the courage to continue to face him.

I looked at the caller ID, but I had no memory of the number, so I hesitated and put the phone to my ear.

"Hey?"

The other party was stunned for a while before asking: "Excuse me, is this Tang Haoling?" When I heard this name, my whole head was instantly emptied.

I vaguely remember... Someone once called me that, someone once called me "Tang Haoling..." But that name has long since disappeared from my life, and now it reappears, making me feel inexplicably at a loss.

After thinking for a long time, I finally recognized the other party's voice.

"You..." I don't know how to address her, after all, I think I have nothing to do with her.

"Excuse me, did I dial the wrong number?" The other party's voice was softer than it was years ago, which made me a little unaccustomed.

"No, I'm Tang Haoling, that's right, where did you get this phone number?" I don't remember telling her my mobile phone number, and I was even more suspicious of her sudden call.

"You don't recognize me? I'm mom, this phone is given to me by your adoptive mother." I frowned deeply, mom...?Perhaps it would be more appropriate to be called Aunt Tang. After all, I don’t think a mother who can’t stand her child and abandons her can justifiably ask her child to call herself “mother”.

I sighed and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

In the past few years, I have never heard her voice, and I don't want to hear it. Although others say that children should understand the word "filial piety" from childhood to adulthood, I always feel that I don't trust my child because of a man, and in the end I even put my child away. To the woman who sent it away...it's really not worth me...sigh.

Maybe I was wrong, but since you threw me out, let me stay outside, don't wait to come to me after regretting it.

"Mom just... suddenly wants to see you, to see how you are doing recently." She said it very sincerely, and I couldn't help but feel a little guilty about my original thoughts.

I sighed again, and said, "If you really think so, then you shouldn't have kept calling me these few years and ignored me."

Her tone was a little crying, and she said, "It's not that I don't fight...your adoptive mother hopes that I will not have any contact with you until I reach high school."

I can't help but feel astonished, adoptive mother...?

But it wasn't her fault, and I really didn't want to see my mother at the time.

"So you're making this call now to fuck? I'll tell you the truth...it's impossible to go back, and I don't want to go back and endure that life!" I thought of the time her boyfriend punched and kicked me. During the process, he even got drunk once, and when his mother was working overtime, he frantically took the shards of the wine bottle and said that he would blind me.

He also said that I am my father's seed, so I must also be a piece of garbage.

That kind of man...why would mother trust him?

"Hao Ling, I know I did something wrong... But he also said that he wanted to apologize to you, and hoped that you could come back and have a meal and chat with us."

Having said that, I can't help being a little angry.

Apologize?Many people only find out after doing something wrong, so what?Find out and apologize, so what?Will the shadow cast on me just disappear?

Why do you always think that an apology can cover up and make up for everything?

"I...don't want to see that man," I said.

She was silent for a while, and then said: "Then it's for my mother... come back to have a meal, okay?" The voice seemed to be about to cry. Although she felt a little resentful towards her, she still felt a little distressed.

I thought about it for a long time, sighed many times, and finally made a painful decision.

"Hmm..." The answer was helpless.

On the other end of the phone, she seemed a little happy, and said thank you with a smile.

"Is this Saturday okay?" she asked.

I rubbed my temples, said yes with some headaches, and hung up the phone.

As soon as I promised her, I regretted it. I had the right to refuse, but I couldn't do it... Maybe I was a coward from the beginning.

I squatted down, looked at the floor with some distress, and kept sighing.

What an idiot...

Suddenly, someone behind me put my shoulders on my shoulders. I was startled, and I stood up and looked back at the person behind me.

It was Mr. Xia who appeared in front of his eyes, and he frowned when he saw my face, "Tong Ling, your face..." I knew that my face was quite embarrassing, but I didn't want to tell Xia what happened just now Sir, he shook his head and said, "Is there? Haha... I'm fine, just a little dizzy."

Mr. Xia put his hands on my shoulders and leaned me into his arms. I immediately held my breath and lowered my head shyly.

"Xia, Mr. Xia...I think I should go back." I looked at my watch, thinking that Tong Zheqing should be leaving school soon.

Mr. Xia nodded and said, "I'll take you back."

※※※

I stood in front of the door, looked at my watch, and made sure that Tong Zheqing hadn't come home yet, so I opened the door with a sigh of relief.

As soon as I got home, I took off my coat, and when I was about to go back to the room, I suddenly found someone lying on the sofa at some point. My whole body tensed up, thinking that Tong Zheqing should, shouldn't he be back already?

With a feeling of fear, I quietly walked to the sofa, and after a closer look, it was true. Tong Zheqing was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, but I suddenly felt that something was wrong. I always felt that his complexion...was a little pale.

"Zhe Qing, what's the matter with you?" I knelt down and watched him gasping for breath. When I touched his forehead with my hand, I realized that his face was completely icy.

Tong Zheqing opened his eyes slightly, and said with difficulty, "I'm fine..."

At this time, I suddenly remembered something... Tong Zheqing used to feel uncomfortable asking for leave, and I didn't seem to care much about it.

I was a little impatient, seeing Tong Zheqing coughing continuously and showing a distressed expression, I immediately picked up the phone, dialed 110 impatiently, and told the address of the hospital.

I rushed back to Tong Zheqing anxiously, at a loss, Tong Zheqing suddenly stretched out his hand, I was stunned for a moment and then understood his meaning, I held his cold hand, and his face gradually turned cyanotic, and his breathing rate also increased significantly.

I couldn't help but frowned, and said, "Yes, I'm sorry... I will stay with you."

But Tong Zheqing's condition still didn't improve, I even felt that he was going to pass out.

All of a sudden, there was the sound of a whistle outside, and I opened the door immediately, and saw the medical staff rushing in pushing a stretcher, and carried Tong Zheqing onto the stretcher. I watched his condition worriedly, and the medical staff came over.

"Excuse me, are you his family?"

I nodded earnestly.

"Then please come with us to the hospital."
