A woman like Ode to Joy

I'm afraid the lethality of the old man's words is not stronger than today.

Mr. Tan was ill for a short period of time and lived in the villa. Naturally, Tan Zongming was taking care of him.When he was young, he spent more time with Mr. Tan. In terms of temperament, Mr. Tan grew up watching his changes.

Maybe Tan Zongming's emotions are not obvious to outsiders, but the old man is too familiar with him, how could the old man not see his silence and patience.And the old man saw it, it was not silent comfort or explanation, he always opened his mouth and stabbed the knife directly, which was his style as always.

At night, watching someone get into Tang Qiu's car very gracefully, thinking about today's special day, sour water bubbling from the bottom of my heart.The old man stabbed him in the heart one after another, how could the old man not see that he was more patient than usual?

"I have never interfered with your juniors' love affairs. You can do whatever you like. I didn't say a word when your younger brother married Yufu... Sigh, there was already a grievance in your father's time. What else can I say. You can do what you like, but you just can't see how useless you are, and you are moaning..."

Seeing Tan Zongming stop feeding the porridge, the old man glanced at him, and took the porridge by himself. There was no need for Tan Zongming to feed it, he did it himself.

Seeing his eldest grandson stunned, looking stupid, he shook his head, "Your parents..."

Suddenly a conversation started, talking about Tan's father and mother, but he hesitated to speak, and finally heaved a long sigh, with a helpless smile on his face.

"They're all old antiques..." Sighing, he changed the subject again, "You're a man with ideas, and all the men in the Tan family are the same, so you have ideas."

Hearing what old man Tan said, Tan Zongming quietly raised his head to look at the face of the old man who had been recuperating for many days, and then thought of the seemingly incompatible parents at home.

"But you are already in your thirties. When you grow up, you will lose something if you lose it." He pointed at Tan Zongming with his finger. Although his face was old, he was more than 80 years old. The wrinkles in the eyes are the stories left by the years, and the eyes are quiet, very similar to Tan Zongming.

The old man sighed.

"You have been up and down for so many years, and you must know the truth. In terms of business, you are much better than your brother, but when it comes to dealing with objects, you don't know much worse than your brother..."

She thought she was trying to talk about the great principles of life, but she didn't realize that she just stabbed him in a different way.

Tan Zongming lowered his head with a dumb smile.

"Well, Xiaofan probably already dated that, their boss..." Mr. Tan guessed, but he didn't think he was right, and continued: "I have long thought that the boss of their hotel is interested in her."

It's almost impossible to listen to it.

Tan Zongming's dumb smile turned into a wry smile.

"Okay, grandpa, I know what you mean, don't try to get in the way with me, okay?"

He stood up.

Seeing him walking towards the door, the old man frowned, "If you don't eat with me, where are you going? Do you think I talk too much?"

Tan Zongming turned around helplessly, "Isn't your porridge bottomed out, do you still need me to serve you?"

Mr. Tan lowered his head to look at his bowl, oh, it's really going to be gone.

"I'm not full yet, so you leave, and I have to have another bowl." The old man said.

Tan Zongming no longer looked at his grandfather's face looking at the joke, "Okay, I'll ask Mama Liu to serve you a bowl."

Then he went out the door.

The old man in the room behind shouted: "Stinky boy, did you forget that the doctor didn't let me eat more?"

Regardless of what happened to the grandparents of the Tan family, Fan Shengmei, who was far away in the French restaurant in the city, felt like sitting on pins and needles when facing Tang Qiu's gaze.

She didn't know when she became so attractive...

Fan Shengmei smiled helplessly.

"Didn't you not say it? Then why..." Did you choose to say it again?

"I never think that love is a simple matter, and I don't want to tell you casually, and I'm afraid you will have a psychological burden." Tang Qiu explained.

"It's just that Felix is ​​doing his best now, so it doesn't make much sense to hide it anymore, but I still hope you don't have any burdens." Seeing Fan Shengmei's silence, Tang Qiu changed his previous style and explained a lot.

"I like you, that's my sincerity, I want to pursue you seriously. I hope we can get along like before."

Get along like before?

Fan Shengmei was silent, knowing that it was impossible.

Looking at her fair face with an extraordinarily quiet appearance, Tang Qiu unconsciously felt nervous in his heart.

I know in my heart that today's confession is inappropriate, what I said is not the right time.

"I..." Fan Shengmei took a long time to speak, but Tang Qiu looked over immediately.

"I didn't think about these..."

Looking at Tang Qiu quietly in the dim lights of the restaurant, he looked hesitant.

I don't know how to face it, how to say something, so that the current situation can be alleviated.

Her mind was a little confused, and she couldn't digest this information for a while.

"I didn't mean to force you to accept it, nor did I mean to put pressure on you." Tang Qiu knew that she was in trouble, but it was not his intention to make her difficult.

"Today is your birthday, it's not for you to be distressed." He gestured to Felix who had been watching from a distance.

Just now that guy just kept shaking a cake after picking it up, insisting on sending it over.

Seeing his gesture, Felix happily delivered the cake in person.

Fan Shengmei's hospitality was hard to come by, Felix apologized to her in English again, which made Fan Shengmei feel embarrassed.Facing Tang Qiu, who was looking at him silently, Felix's enthusiastic voice of singing the birthday song was next to his ears.

"Ho, we know this old man is finally impulsive! Van, I have to sing you a happy birthday song!"

Felix ostentatiously walked to the center of the restaurant, clapped his hands as a gesture, and encouraged other guests to sing a Chinese song with him in broken Chinese, and then repeated it in English.

For a moment, the eyes of everyone in the restaurant turned towards the table where Fan Shengmei was. Many people smiled kindly, and nodded without refusing.

Fan Shengmei was looked at by the crowd, feeling a little embarrassed, but saw the man opposite him with a gentle smile, picked up a candle prepared by the side, put it in the center of the cake, and lit it.

Felix smiled at Fan Shengmei's table, raised his hand to the waiter at the other end, and nodded.

Suddenly, the lights in the restaurant dimmed, and Felix stood where he was, singing in English.

"Happy Birthday to you..." He started.

All of a sudden, people in the restaurant followed one after another, and the voices became more and more louder.In the dark restaurant, only Fan Shengmei's table had candles on the cake, flickering slightly.

Everyone sang birthday songs for her, and the whole restaurant was very solemn.Especially Felix's voice made Fan Shengmei feel warm and very funny.

I don't know how such a Felix became friends with Tang Qiu...

People sang and clapped for her.

Fan Shengmei couldn't help smiling, her heart was soft and warm, her nose felt sour unconsciously.

And Tang Qiu's face was also in the candlelight, sometimes clear and sometimes blurred.It's just that his voice was very close. He sang the birthday song with a low voice, as if he was trying to confuse people, and the smile on his lips was shocking.

Such a gentle Tang Qiu...

Such a gentle voice...

It was probably the most solemn and unexpected birthday in this life. Fan Shengmei made a wish and met Tang Qiu Yingliang's gaze, and heard his hoarse voice whisper happy birthday to herself, with a completely different level of tenderness from before.

If before the confession was the politeness between the boss and the subordinates, and the words were somewhat concealed, after the confession, it was as if the shackles were untied, the subtle expressions were infinitely magnified, and the deep meaning in the eyes was intimidating.Only a few girls who control the face will definitely scream when they see it.

Now there is no cover at all.

Tang Qiu looked at her uncomfortable expression, as if he didn't dare to look at himself, and suddenly felt that there might be nothing wrong with this.

On the other hand, Felix generously gave each table of guests a new dish for free.

Tang Qiu didn't pay attention, he focused on helping Fan Shengmei cut the cake and handed it to her.

Of course, whether these "free" new products are really free afterwards, you have to ask Tang Qiu's pocket.

—————Boundary line—————

No matter how Fan Shengmei should face Tang Qiu's confession, tonight's birthday greeting will undoubtedly move her deeply, perhaps, it can be remembered for a lifetime.

The car stopped at the entrance of Ode to Joy community.

Fan Shengmei got off the car and was about to enter the community, but Tang Qiu suddenly stopped her behind him and handed a long gift box to her.

"This is, what?" she asked, but didn't take it in her hand.

Tang Qiu didn't have such scruples, he took her hand and stuffed it into her hand, and said lightly: "Birthday gift. It's not a valuable item, nor is it a jewelry. You are learning French, and you will definitely learn calligraphy. Then you can use this A pen to write."

The current meaning is that you should not be so careful not to accept it.

Pen?

"What pen?"

"The pen, I thought I'd give it to you someday when you'd be successful in learning French, and use it to practice cursive calligraphy." It didn't work out, but there was some accident today, so I had to put it on temporarily.As for other gifts, he wasn't sure if she would accept them.

pen……

Looking at the simple and exquisite gift box in his hand, one can tell that the price is expensive. What kind of things can he give away that are not valuables?

Even if it is a pen, I am afraid it will not be an ordinary pen.

"I'm just beginning to learn French, I'm afraid..."

"There is always a time when it can be used." Tang Qiu forcefully interrupted her refusal.

Fan Shengmei was silent for a while, then thanked her in a low voice, and accepted it without any further excuses.

Only then did Tang Qiu secretly heave a sigh of relief, fearing that she would not accept even this.

If Fan Shengmei knew, she would have to smile wryly.

She is not that noble, she just knows what to accept and what not to accept.It's just that Tang Qiu undoubtedly gave her a big problem.

He took the small gift box and thanked him again, and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Tang Qiu frowned and hugged her suddenly, scaring her to death.

A man's hoarse voice came from his ear, saying, "Happy birthday."

But she let go after a while, Fan Shengmei was still in a daze, but saw Tang Qiu's face with a slightly happy smile, which dazzled people's eyes.
