A woman like Ode to Joy

"Why didn't you answer the phone?"

Turning around, I saw the figure of the visitor, slowly approaching from a distance, with one hand holding his pocket, wearing a suit and leather shoes, his face like sinking water.He stared at Fan Shengmei, saw her sitting on the small steps with a long skirt on, and stepped forward to give her hand.

Staring blankly at Tan Zongming standing in front of him with a tall appearance, looking down at herself, and offering her palm, Fan Shengmei blinked at this scene, and quietly looked at the man's face turned away from the light.

Never thought he would show up.

"Aren't you going to get up?" He waved his palms to signal, "Come."

Seeing her looking at him silently, Tan Zongming said.

The palm of his hand was spread out in front of his eyes for a long time, but there were still familiar lines.

Fan Shengmei looked at the palm in front of her, hesitated for a while and gently put it on, the next moment she was immediately grabbed and gently lifted her up.Just as she was about to straighten her body, she didn't want to sit for too long and her legs would be numb, and she would fall forward when she stood up. Fortunately, Tan Zongming quickly grabbed her waist and brought her into his arms.

"Be careful." Tan Zongming said.

Fan Shengmei supported his shoulders and tried to lift his feet to ease the numbness, but seeing Tan Zongming staring at her all the time, she was a little at a loss.

Lower your head and don't look.

It's just that she wants to avoid some problems, but Tan Zongming may not be willing.Since the morning, she has been in a bad state, from lying to him on the mobile phone, to the way she tried to avoid talking about it in the car.It seems that what happened is very unusual, and I really don't want him to know, even avoiding seeing myself, depressed, irritable, and the whole person looks decadent.

Seeing her hiding and staying alone again today made Tan Zongming very uncomfortable.

"How are you doing, are your feet okay?" Tan Zongming asked, still steadying her body, when she saw that she was no longer lifting her feet.

Fan Shengmei nodded, "Okay." He said and let go of the hand that supported his shoulder, but Tan Zongming didn't intend to let go at all.

He then asked, "Is the medicine good today?"

"I haven't eaten dinner yet."

Tan Zongming frowned, "Didn't eat?" Looking at her face, he had a guess in his heart, "You haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

Being guessed right again, Fan Shengmei was used to it, so she just nodded truthfully.

"I haven't eaten yet, I just plan to go to dinner."

"Let's go." Tan Zongming suddenly let go of her waist, took her hand and walked to the other side.

"Where are you going?" Fan Shengmei was puzzled.

Tan Zongming said without turning his head, "Take you to dinner."

"Then the banquet you..."

"Let's go eat."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he interrupted.

Fan Shengmei fell silent, and quietly let him lead her, watching him walking slowly ahead, bowing her head, it was still the two of them holding hands.And Tan Zongming always wears a watch on his right wrist, which she knows is his personal habit.

I just don't know why, looking at the scene that I have seen countless times before, this time her eye sockets involuntarily became hot and wet, and her nose became tangled and sore, making her want to sniff her nose, but I was afraid that he would find out, so I held back.

She raised her head, tried to hold back her tears, breathed a sigh of relief, and blinked desperately.

Touching the tears in her eyes with her fingertips, she dared not look at Tan Zongming's back again.With great difficulty, the tears welling up were finally wiped away.Secretly fanning the wind with the palm of his hand, he finally held back.

"You wait for me here, I'll go pick up the car." Tan Zongming suddenly stopped walking and turned around to look.

"Oh." Fan Shengmei nodded with her head down.

Fan Shengmei nodded and waited for the other party to pick up the car, but she didn't see him move for a long time, so she looked up at him, not wanting to meet his eyes, and stared at her motionless.

"What's the matter?" Fan Shengmei felt uncomfortable when he looked at her.

Tan Zongming was calm for a moment, didn't say anything, nodded, "I'm going to pick up the car, you stay still until I come back." He stroked her hair and looked at her carefully and repeated it.

"it is good."

Now Tan Zongming walked away to pick up the car.Fan Shengmei knew that this man had thought of everything, she had been wearing high heels all day today, and the shoes looked exactly the same as the ones she wore last night, he knew it right away.He always thinks of everything.

Without making Fan Shengmei wait too long at the wind, Tan Zongming quickly drove the car in front of her, and Fan Shengmei walked to the other side and got on the car.

This place was very close to the place where they used to eat. Tan Zongming arrived at the intersection after turning a few intersections. He got out of the car and took Fan Shengmei's hand, and walked all the way to the private room they used to go to.

Some small dishes and porridge had already been served in the private room at the other end. When Fan Shengmei and Tan Zongming arrived, they could already move their chopsticks.

As soon as Fan Shengmei sat down, Tan Zongming handed the porridge in front of her eyes, "I'm hungry, eat quickly." Then he asked her how the porridge at noon was.

This time Fan Shengmei didn't tell the truth, she only said that she had finished eating, but she didn't say that she didn't eat much, and even the side dishes were taken care of by others.After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and drank the porridge. Tan Zongming on the other end didn't have any suspicions, but just kept picking side dishes for her.

The serving speed is very fast, and the waiter will serve two or three dishes one after another.Tan Zongming had already had dinner, and there were six dishes on this table, all of which were prepared for Fan Shengmei alone.

After the waiter delivered the last dish, Fan Shengmei had lost her appetite.

Tan Zongming kept adding vegetables to her, she ate most of it, and most of the porridge in the bowl was gone.I don't have much appetite today, and these levels are about the same.So when Tan Zongming pretended to bring food for her, she hurriedly stopped him.

"Full?" Tan Zongming frowned and looked at the remaining half of the porridge in her bowl, and still firmly handed the chopsticks to her plate.

Fan Shengmei unconsciously stirred the remaining porridge, gave a low hum, and knew in her heart that she ate too little today, not the usual amount at all.

"No appetite?" Tan Zongming didn't force it, put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the glass jug beside him, poured boiling water into the glass, and put it aside to cool.

"Well, I can't eat anymore."

After Tan Zongming put the glass pot aside, he didn't say anything, and looked at her quietly with his head sideways.

Fan Shengmei kept stirring the poor bowl of porridge, but she knew that someone was looking at her, but she still didn't dare to look back and stared at the porridge as if avoiding it.

"Did you think I didn't come out to look for you just now?"

It's finally time to start asking.

Fan Shengmei lowered her eyebrows and didn't answer.

"I've been following you, but you haven't noticed." He continued.

Seeing her keep stirring the bowl of porridge but refusing to look at him, Tan Zongming suddenly got up and approached her, startled Fan Shengmei, and raised his head suddenly, at least he was looking at him.

With a dumb smile, "Why don't you dare to look at me?" Pushing away from the bowl of porridge, he took her hand and rubbed it in his palm, "Is it a family matter?"

Is it a family matter?

Fan Shengmei suddenly looked up at him, "You know?"

Looking at his face very surprised, he knew...

The next moment, he suddenly remembered something and turned his head to chuckle, "Oh, yes, how could you not know." The expression on his face became more and more strange, and he nodded frequently, "Yes..."

Tan Zongming quietly looked at her with a slightly sarcastic smile, and his brows became tighter and tighter.

He knew in his heart that she was getting into a dead end again, but he didn't rush to explain.

"I should have thought of it a long time ago, why, how could you not know?" The more Fan Shengmei said, the more she felt funny and stupid.Even people like Qu Xiaoxiao can check people's details, and people like Tan Zongming probably checked out their backgrounds when they approached Andy.

She thought he didn't know anything. He probably knew all about the mess in her house long ago, and she didn't know how to think about it.

She really asked a stupid question.

This is probably Fan Shengmei's natural weakness. Once she feels that this weakness of hers is being grasped, she will be like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. , but also to sting others.This habit has long been a reflection.

At this time, there was a feeling of being seen through by Tan Zongming, as if standing naked in front of him, there was no escape, which made her afraid of this feeling, wanting to escape, wanting to attack to arm her fragility.

Even if the other party is Tan Zongming...

"Since you know all about it, why are you asking me why?" Fan Sheng smiled and slowly pulled his hand out of his palm.No need for him to say anything, she has already made a conclusion about him, and his non-denial is tacit consent, making her feel more and more ridiculous as she looks at him.

After pretending for a long time, the other party always knew what he was pretending, and endured it for so long without revealing it, and watched the play for so long.

She is nothing short of a joke.

And she has been struggling with a 5000 yuan today, which is probably even more of a joke.

The more Fan Shengmei thought about it, the more she felt absurd and ashamed. She felt that she was so ugly that she had shown so many ugly faces in front of Tan Zongming in such an embarrassing family.

"You really know everything?" You asked again without giving up, but Tan Zongming's expression was still silent.

Looking at the other party quietly for a while, Fan Shengmei smiled coldly, turned her head away, picked up the clutch bag on the table with her left hand, stood up straight, and left the private room quickly, ignoring Tan Zongming who was sitting behind her.

It's like running away.

"Wait a minute." He said anxiously.

Tan Zongming didn't know how things turned out like this. He quietly glanced at the table of dishes and rubbed the space between his brows.

Her reaction was more violent than he expected.

Stand up and stride out.

"Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan!"

Fan Shengmei half-ran and half-walked, ignoring Tan Zongming who was chasing up behind her, and left the hotel in a blink of an eye, but was stopped by Tan Zongming halfway.

"Fan Shengmei!" He grabbed Fan Shengmei's arm and stopped her from moving forward.

Fan Shengmei struggled to break free from the grasped arm, but the more he struggled, the tighter he was bound.

"Let's find a place to talk, not here." Tan Zongming stared at her closely.

Fan Shengmei was speechless and didn't agree, but he was forced to look at the other party, and she couldn't leave if she wanted to leave.

"Mr. Tan, I can't talk to you now."

"It's easy for you to get into a dead end by yourself. We'd better talk about it."

Fan Shengmei pulled her arm away suddenly, turned around, her voice was still so stubborn, "There is nothing to talk about."
