our castle

Although Tang Xiangxi said he was out to play, in reality he was just taking a walk around the family.After exercising with Wendy for a while, Tang Xiangxi led the two of them ahead.

Wen Zhenhua kept silent, he knew that Tang Xiangxi wanted to tell him something.Wendy liked this kind of walk very much after playing all day, and ran to the front after a while.

Seeing her daughter bouncing in front of her, Tang Xiangxi showed a warm smile.Glancing back from the corner of the eye, Tang Xiangxi saw that Wen Zhenhua was half a step behind him.

Unable to hold back his tongue, Tang Xiangxi stopped, and stretched out his hand to drag Wen Zhenhua to his side.Standing shoulder to shoulder, Tang Xiangxi said softly to him, "Stand by my side."

Wen Zhenhua raised his eyebrows in surprise, and instead of breaking away from Tang Xiangxi's hand, he showed a relaxed smile.Pointing forward with the empty finger, Wen Zhenhua turned his head and asked, "Are you going to bring us here?"

Hearing that Tang Xiangxi stopped, he realized that his family had arrived at the entrance of an old alley, and there were many families crowded in the alley.

"Daddy, I'm thirsty." Wendy played and made trouble along the way, blushing.

Tang Xiangxi touched Wendy's head gently, and pointed to a road on the left, "There is a store at the end of the walk, how about Wendy buying soda by herself?"

Wendy's eyes lit up when she heard that she could drink soft drinks, and she hurried towards the store.

Wen Zhenhua stood next to Tang Xiangxi, looking at this place with a somewhat melancholy expression, this place full of Tang Xiangxi's memories.

Tang Xiangxi also kept staring at the alley without saying a word, until a little boy came out of the alley to greet the two of them, then he turned his head and said to Wen Zhenhua, "This is where I lived when I was young."

Tang Xiangxi's eyes were full of clarity, as if she had made up her mind to reveal her past to Wen Zhenhua.

Wen Zhenhua tilted his head and smiled at Tang Xiangxi, "I know, I know. This is where you used to live, and I also know that you used to sit on that slope."

Wen Zhenhua seemed to be very familiar with Tang Xiangxi's childhood. He pointed to every place where Tang Xiangxi had a short memory, as if he had shared this memory with Tang Xiangxi.

Tang Xiangxi looked at Wen Zhenhua in surprise. Before he knew it, Wen Zhenhua was already so familiar with his life. "How much do you know about my past? Could it be that I told you when I got drunk again?"

Thinking that if this is the case, then the countless secrets he thought were not secrets long ago.Just thinking about Tang Xiangxi makes him feel hairy.

Seeing Tang Xiangxi's regretful expression, Wen Zhenhua nodded.Naturally, he wouldn't tell Tang Xiangxi that apart from the part he revealed when he was drunk, there are other things that Tang Yaoqun told him.

It's strange to say that Tang Xiangxi's wine can't be called bad, but it's definitely not good either.Of course this is relative.In the past, when Tang Xiangxi was drunk, as long as he was in front of others, he would just fall asleep and settle down.But in front of Wen Zhenhua, he would become... very childish.

When I first met him, I grabbed his sleeve and didn't let go. Later, I got to know him and became a close friend. When Tang Xiangxi got drunk, he would hug him directly, and then rubbed him back and forth, chatting about his memories. Share it with him, even if you fall asleep, you will never let go.

Since Wen Zhenhua was there every time Tang Xiangxi got drunk when he was in college, every time Tang Xiangxi woke up, he would see himself hugging Wen Zhenhua, which made Tang Xiangxi think that his wine quality was not good and he dared not get drunk in front of others.

But in front of Wen Zhenhua, as always.

Tang Xiangxi never asked, so Wen Zhenhua never explained, an inexplicable tacit understanding.

"Anyway, you know it all. But there is one thing, I don't think you know it all the time. I am an illegitimate child." Tang Xiangxi said it very easily, as if it was someone else's business.

Wen Zhenhua didn't say a word, he never knew about this matter.He had never heard of it, and no one had mentioned it to him. Tang Xiangxi lived the past 30 years as an illegitimate child.

Wen Zhenhua grabbed Tang Xiangxi's hand and wanted to support him. If Tang Xiangxi wanted to continue talking, he had to give him courage.

Tang Xiangxi clasped Wen Zhenhua's hand gratefully, "When I was young, I only saw that person occasionally, and then he gradually stopped coming. I just sat on the slope and waited for him, and kept waiting until later, he never came again. coming."

Tang Xiangxi's gaze gradually became distant, as if recalling the situation at that time. "Slowly I realized that he would never come again, and I could never wait for him again. From the beginning, he was not mine and my mother. It took me several years to tell myself that he was A person who doesn't exist. I don't have expectations because they don't exist."

This made Wen Zhenhua's heart ache unconsciously, "But he appeared, and he wants to get to know you." Wen Zhenhua had the urge to hug him, but he still held back the thought.

Tang Xiangxi just continued to stare at the slope, until Wendy ran to him holding a bottle of soda. "Daddy! Can you open a soda for me?"

Tang Xiangxi subconsciously reached out to take the soda, and fell into deep thought when he saw the soda bottle.In the end, Wen Zhenhua could only let him lead him to the side of the slope and sit down.

"Daddy..." Wendy's kitten-like voice came, and Tang Xiangxi escaped from the memory in some embarrassment.

"A long time ago, I was just a kid who needed my father to open a soda for me. Now I am a father. The world is unpredictable, and who can think of it?"

With a pop, Tang Xiangxi opened the soda before Wen Zhenhua could react.Just as she was about to hand the soda to Wendy, Wendy handed him the straw, "Daddy, the mother-in-law who bought the soda said, this soda is sweet, and it will make people happy after drinking it. Then Daddy will Happy."

Tang Xiangxi raised his eyebrows in surprise, he never thought that Wendy could also see his loss.Taking a deep breath, Tang Xiangxi choked accidentally.

Wen Zhenhua and Wendy were in a hurry.

"Daddy, does it hurt?" Seeing Tang Xiangxi coughing all the time and her nose turning red, Wendy panicked all of a sudden.

Tang Xiangxi made a gesture to cover his heart, "Baby Wendy, it hurts so much."

"Then I'll give you a whir." Wendy threw herself into Tang Xiangxi's arms and leaned closer to his heart.Tang Xiangxi suddenly felt warm in his heart, and without thinking, he hugged Wen Zhenhua who was still worried.

Seeing the soda being handed to his mouth, Wen Zhenhua was stunned for a moment, and finally grabbed Tang Xiangxi's wrist lightly, and took a sip of the soda with his hand.

They didn't go anywhere that day, they just sat on the small slope, embracing each other, laughing so hard that they couldn't straighten up because of some small jokes.

Although Wen Zhenhua has always been held in Tang Xiangxi's arms, even though Wen Zhenhua can see Tang Xiangxi's smile as long as he raises his head, he always feels that his smile is indescribably unreal.

It wasn't until the evening wind was blowing that Wen Zhenhua felt that his swollen head seemed to be more awake today.As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, Wen Zhenhua felt someone slap his buttocks.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Tang Xiangxi standing behind him with that unreal smile in his opinion and kept laughing.Wen Zhenhua didn't know what to say.

Wen Zhenhua has not shown a real smile so far, which shocked Tang Xiangxi.Tang Xiangxi involuntarily raised his hands to express his surrender.

"My God, why are you still like this? It's a good joke." Tang Xiangxi still doesn't know how to get Wen Zhenhua back to his original state.

Wen Zhenhua showed a seemingly white smile, "I was just thinking, why would you want to tell me this today, and even take me and Wendy to revisit your childhood secret place? If it was before, you would never this way."

Tang Xiangxi's smile froze all of a sudden, and he paused for a few seconds before readjusting his expression, showing a very relaxed look, "No."

Wen Zhenhua stared at him as always, Tang Xiangxi could only shrug his shoulders, "I just think that I have already told you so much when I was drunk in college, so I don't want to keep it."

Unexpectedly, Wen Zhenhua frowned all of a sudden, "Tang Xiangxi, please, I'm asking you very seriously, can you also be a little more serious and tell me the reason why you did this?"

Tang Xiangxi put his arms around Wen Zhenhua's shoulders directly. The strength was not strong enough for Wen Zhenhua to move around in his arms, but it was also enough to ensure that Wen Zhenhua would not run away.

"Because I think that if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't ask me." Tang Xiangxi said seriously, blocking all of Wen Zhenhua's struggles at once.

Tang Xiangxi hugged Wen Zhenhua even tighter with an expression on his face, "Although you don't know how to ask, you will always think and struggle in your heart, and then it will show on your face."

Hearing this, Wen Zhenhua's face froze, and his brows furrowed instantly.Tang Xiangxi pointed at his forehead with surprise, "That's the expression, frowning, please, I have enough wrinkles, don't make me older."

Is he worried about himself?Wen Zhenhua looked at Tang Xiangxi suspiciously. According to his past experience, Tang Xiangxi would definitely say something to piss him off after caring about him.

"Besides, if you are in a bad mood, the food in our family is not good. I can barely bear it, but our daughter is still developing. You don't want her to suffer, right? So I reluctantly tell you all these things Yes, so that you can feel at ease, and my stomach can also feel at ease."

Sure enough, heartless and mad!Wen Zhenhua slapped Tang Xiangxi on the head vigorously. Tang Xiangxi took this hard blow, and just let out a muffled grunt, but did not let go.

Seeing Tang Xiangxi showing weakness like this, Wen Zhenhua immediately looked at him worriedly, but was caught by Tang Xiangxi, "So I really hope you can understand my current position." Even if you still disagree with my approach, you still Hope you can understand.

Wen Zhenhua did not disappoint him, he nodded.

Tang Xiangxi did not let go of Wen Zhenhua's hand as he imagined, but pressed his forehead against his forehead and said something inexplicable. "Next time, I hope you can take the initiative to take a step forward."

Wen Zhenhua tilted his head puzzled, unable to understand it.But Tang Xiangxi seemed like nothing happened, and said with a smile, "I'll take Wendy to and from school tomorrow."

"Hey, that won't work! Wendy hasn't been late for a long time!"

"What do you mean! You hate me, don't you bet? If Wendy is late, she will take your surname!"

"Wen Wendy? That's weird."

"It's Wendy Tang, and then we will move abroad immediately, the little princess will still have my surname!"

"Tang Xiangxi, you deserve a beating!"

"..."

The author has something to say: At the end of the writing, I felt a faint sense of sadness. If Daddy didn’t say anything, wouldn’t Daddy take that step...
