evening tide

The air-conditioned car drove smoothly, and the scenery on both sides gradually changed from unfamiliar to familiar.

Paipai got up early to report, was fooled into washing the dishes at noon, and had a fight with Peng Yuzhi for a while, which was badly damaged. In addition, he didn't take his mobile phone out today, and his eyelids got into fights while sitting in the back row.

After a while, there was the sound of even breathing. Chao Xin glanced sideways, and Pa Pai was curled up in the back row, facing the back of the chair and fell asleep.

After driving for another ten minutes, she chatted with Xiang Wan.

"You have a good relationship with them."

Xiang Wanwan'er: "I don't have any family here, they are my family."

"But I think," Chao Xin pondered, "they may have misunderstood our relationship."

She spoke very euphemistically, but Xiang Wan understood, and paused for a second, then said: "I didn't know what Director Peng was going to say during the dinner."

She talked with Chao Xin and reached a consensus not to talk about the future, but she hasn't synchronized with her friends yet.

Xiang Wan's tone was a bit dull, and Chao Xin called her softly, "Wan Wan."

"Ok?"

"I don't exclude others from matching us up. On the contrary, I will be a little happy, because in the eyes of your friends, I am worth entrusting."

She smiled.

"But at the pace of the two of us, we still hope that we can do it by ourselves, what do you think?"

"I agree." Xiang Wan glanced at her and smiled.

"However, when I went to eat today, I thought of something else." Chao Xin stroked the steering wheel and said again.

"please say."

"Peng Yuzhi said, you let go of Yu Zhou, did you really let go?" she asked.

"Let it go." Xiang Wan said firmly.

"But I remember being on the rooftop before, you said, I don't know if it was because you lived with me that you wanted to kiss me, I thought..."

"You think," Xiang Wan frowned, "I have... an empathy effect on you?"

"Is there?" Chao Xin found himself a little nervous, and narrowed his eyes as he looked ahead.

Xiang Wanchun smiled like a snowflake: "I have talked with her a long time ago, we are just close friends and relatives, and it has nothing to do with whether she accepts me or not."

That was Chao Xin's overthinking, because Xiang Wan was very good, so when she leaned against him in front of Yu Zhou, for a second, Chao Xin wondered if she wanted to get closer to him in front of her friends, so that he could let her go. Rest assured to all who care about her.

"The only thing I'm not sure about is myself."

Xiang Wan sighed: "I have never started such a relationship before, it was a bit messy, when I wanted to kiss you, I didn't understand whether it was because I lived with you and regarded attachment as a good feeling, I was afraid that I would be in this world Like surviving drowning, the instinct is to grab a handful of driftwood."

"Then you and I were pressed the accelerator button again. Although we are intimate, we are not necessarily inseparable. Therefore, not only are you afraid, but I am also timid."

"From outsiders' point of view, maybe if two people are happy, they should stay together forever, so there is an act of persuasion. I don't reject my friend's kindness, but I always feel that if I want to love you, I should love you." be more free."

"More... free?" Chao Xin subconsciously asked this point of view, which was a little new.

Not firmness, not stability, but freedom.

"Freedom means taking your time and savoring every stage of our relationship, and being able to bear the consequences if a relationship fails."

"I can't, Teacher Chao," Xiang Wan said in a low voice, "I'm currently relying on you a little bit, so I can't accept the consequences of us going ahead at this moment, and eventually the relationship fails and consumes each other."

So let like, stay in like for the time being.

Chao Xin moistened the corners of his lips and suddenly smiled: "But do you know?"

"Ok?"

"Your words are so transparent, it makes me really want to fall in love with you."

The last few words were out of breath, but Xiang Wan was so disturbed that he couldn't control his breathing for a second. He turned his head in a daze and looked at her silently.

Chao Xin is also listening to her own heartbeat. What moves her most is that Xiang Wan has never stopped thinking about this relationship with her. Her thinking is very attractive, making Chao Xin feel that being with such a person is It must be very comfortable too.

It's more comfortable than kissing or making love.

"Teacher Chao," Xiang Wan held his face in his hands, complaining faintly, "Don't shake me anymore."

"what?"

"Because I didn't say just now, if you want to talk about rationality in a relationship, it is a paradox. Sometimes, I can't help myself and want to chase you."

Chao Xin opened his petal-like eyes: "Really?"

Want to... chase her.

"Yes, I want to get you." Especially when she was trembling in the arm, that feeling was the strongest. Wanting to get her was not just about her body.

Sometimes Xiang Wan also wondered what exactly is liking and what is love, and then she thought it might be possessiveness.

It was when she was sweating profusely and gently asked herself, can I react just because of me?Can you just let me see through your body and soul?Can you just call me and cry for me?Can you only allow me to enter?

entry in various senses.

Really greedy and really wanting.

The car stopped and slowly leaned against the side of the road.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Wan asked.

"It's nothing, I'm a little tired from driving, take it easy." Chao Xin brushed his hair.

It wasn't tiredness, it was a faint turmoil in her heart that made her flustered.

She glanced at the steering wheel slightly from the corner of her eye, then retracted it, and then looked at the steering wheel without making a sound.

How could anyone not be moved by Xiang Wan?She asked herself the question for the third time.

Both of them were distracted, one was looking at the center console, the other was looking at the weeping willows outside, not noticing the thin little girl in the back seat, facing the back of the leather seat, blinking her gradually clear eyes.

Possessiveness does not only appear in love.

It can often be seen in friendship and family relationship.For example, when we were in middle school, we would show faint hostility to the third person who went to the toilet after us, and it seemed that even parents would occasionally compare themselves in front of their children, repeatedly asking whether they loved their father or their mother more.

If there are two or three children in a family, some possessiveness will hide under the expression of "wanting to be fair", constantly measuring how much love is received.

Animals are inherently insecure, and fledgling chicks are even more so.

After Paipai woke up that day, he got up a little angry and clamored to go home with Chao Xin, so Chao Xin had to hurriedly put Xiang Wan at the school gate, and then went back to Henghu International with Paipai.

Chao Xin was too lazy to make dinner, so Pa Pai was considerate of her, and volunteered to heat two self-heating rice, one was her favorite beef with bamboo shoots, and the other was Chao Xin's favorite stewed beef brisket with potatoes.

"Is it delicious?" For the first time, she did not concentrate on eating, but carefully confirmed with Chao Xin.

"Delicious." Chao Xin nodded.

Paipai thought for a while and said, "I'll learn how to cook from you in the future, okay? If you like, I'll cook for you too."

Chao Xin frowned, thinking about it, since he just started school, there is no such thing as failing a test, and since he is with him all day today, there is no chance of committing a crime.

But she still asked, "What's wrong?"

"I washed the dishes with Aunt Peng today, and she told me to be more sensible." Pa Pai's voice became quieter, not used to lying.

Chao Xin was baffled, and felt a little funny: "You started Chao Pai Pai today. If you really want to show off, you will study hard in school in the future and invite your parents less often, and I will burn the incense."

"I caused you to be invited as a parent, you are not happy, are you?" Paipai frowned slenderly.

Isn't this nonsense, Chao Xin felt that she was abnormal, but couldn't think of anything, so he said patiently: "I'm not unhappy, but I'm quite busy, and I will probably be even busier next time."

I am going to work as a lecturer in the SC studio, and I am also busy decorating the studio.

Hearing that she was busy, Pa Pai seemed to be a little happy, and soon finished his meal and cleaned up the trash again.

Chao Xin let her act, and answered the work news by herself, sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.

After a while, Papai came over to watch TV together, leaned directly on her body, wrapped her waist softly, hugged her for a while, tired, and then pillowed on her lap again.

Look at her through the slit of the phone.

"Chao Xin, can you stop playing with your phone?" she asked.

"I'm not playing, I'm working." Chao Xin ignored her.

Papai put his hand in Chao Xin's arm and covered her face, Chao Xin turned his head to avoid it, and Papai's hand followed to cover her eyes.

"What are you doing?" Chao Xin was angry and funny, why did he suddenly become mischievous again.

Papai turned over, wrapped her arms around her waist again, and asked her childishly, "When you brought me out of the house, you told me that you would stay with me for the rest of your life, right?"

"Yes." Chao Xin patted her on the back.

Pai Pai is a little relieved.

She thinks she is disgusting, and obviously she also thinks that my aunt should have a little uncle or something, because my aunt is very tired and hard, if someone takes care of her, she will be very obedient, as long as he treats her well, she will never do it The kind of ignorant kid on TV.

But when she really heard that my aunt said she liked another person, her first reaction was not shock, shocked by that person's gender and identity, but fear.

Because Chao Xin is not her real mother, she actually has no obligation to discipline and take care of herself all the time. She can always pay for herself because she once said that Papai is the most important person in this world to her.

What should we do if this sentence is to be marked with a question mark, or to be smeared or revised?

It's scary.
