Old Cannon's Infatuation

The moment Zhang Xuan followed Zhang Xiaobo into the courtyard, Zhang Xuan still felt as if he had passed away.

The winter sun was dim and pale.Across the yard, she saw several people waiting at the door of the house.There was Uncle Man Saner, Aunt Xia, and her father, Zhang Xuejun, standing in the front.

I don't know how to describe the emotions at this moment, maybe there is nothing, just like the light in this yard, it's just a piece of gray.

In fact, at this time, Liu Ye had the same idea.Nine years is not a short period of time. As for the memory of his daughter Zhang Xuan, he is still at the stage of that slightly cowardly girl in school uniform.After that, he did not participate in Zhang Xuan's growth, and there was no shadow of his daughter in his life.In this way, the estrangement was born, which was helpless and irreversible.

Chatterbox saw that they were all standing in the courtyard without speaking, so he hurriedly greeted them: "Oh, Xuan'er, I'm back! Why are you standing there, come in."

Before today, Huaxiazi had already told Liu Ye about Xuan'er's return.She didn't go into so much detail, she just mentioned that Zhang Xuan had been away for nine years and suffered a lot, and then she persuaded Liu Ye well, telling him that when his daughter came back, he must pay more attention to keep the child.Afraid that the father and son would not lose if they got into a fight, they found Men San'er who had a good relationship with Xuan'er, and at the same time brought Xiaobo to persuade him.Although Xiaobo, like his older sister, also had conflicts with Liu Ye when he grew up, the relationship between the siblings was very good.So to find Zhang Xuan to go home, we have to start with Xiaobo.

Standing like this was not an option. Although he knew that his sister probably didn't want to come back, Zhang Xiaobo touched Zhang Xuan's arm and said in a low voice, "Let's go in, sister."

But Zhang Xuan didn't move or speak. From the moment she stepped into the yard, after she nodded with Aunt Xia and Uncle San'er, she kept looking straight at Liu Ye with calm eyes.

After a few more seconds of stalemate, Liu Ye finally lowered his eyes, with a look of loneliness on his face, "...let's go inside, it's cold outside."

With that said, Master Liu turned around and went in first.Looking at his back, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt that her father was getting old.

Clenching and loosening her hands, she silently followed into the house.Most of the furnishings in the room have been changed, and they should be replaced. Before she left, many things were smashed by her father.There was a portrait of her mother in a conspicuous place in the living room. Zhang Xuan stared at it for a while, put the handbag aside, and went over to burn a stick of incense.

Sixth Master and Men San'er entered the next room, chatting quietly while smoking.Zhang Xuan didn't want to get involved, so she turned and went into her previous bedroom.It's quite rare, the layout of this house has not changed, and it is still the same as when she lived in it before.Of course, it is also possible that she packed it up now because she thought she was coming back soon, so there is no need to ask in detail.

Zhang Xuan sat down on her single bed, and Chatterbox followed her in, sitting next to her, and said earnestly: "Xuan'er, don't get angry with your father. I will stay for lunch later and listen to Aunt Xia. Have a good talk with your dad."

"..." Zhang Xuan lowered his head and stroked the lines on his palm, not knowing what he was thinking.

"You haven't come back for so many years, Xuan'er, your father misses you very much too."

"..."

"You have suffered all these years. About that matter... I didn't dare to tell your father. If he knew, he would have to kill that kid. He really cares about you, but he is like this, holding back everything In my heart, I don’t like to talk about it.”

"No." Zhang Xuan interrupted her suddenly, and turned to stare at her with calm eyes, as if she was just stating an ordinary fact, "Does he care about me, Aunt Xia, don't you know?"

"..."

"It's not that I didn't call him when I had an accident five years ago. He didn't even bother to listen. Concerned? He must be ashamed. He thinks it's wrong to kick me out of the house."

"Oh, there are so many things you don't know!" Chatterbox became impatient, and stood up and looked at her condescendingly, "You told me that in April five years ago, you called your dad, and I felt something was wrong Then I thought about it, guess what? It just happened to be a coincidence, your father was in a hurry to deal with him when you bored Saner uncle! Not only your father, but your uncles at that time The old man was also very anxious to death, every day he was brave enough to prevent people from coming to the door, but it was resolved by arguing. Your father was hacked several times, [-] stitches were stitched on the leg, and he was hit on the neck. Almost didn't make it through!"

"..."

Zhang Xuan looked up, staring blankly at the chatterbox.This is something that Zhang Xuan does not know.It's as if her father Zhang Xuejun didn't know about her sadness and despair back then, and Zhang Xuan didn't know that her father had walked through the gate of hell that year.

"So, Xuan'er, it's not that he doesn't care about you, it's just that he caught up with you. Your life is at stake with Uncle San'er. Your father values ​​affection and is a man. He doesn't care enough about the child, but You have to give him a chance to change, don't you?"

The situation after that seems to have become more logical.After many years, the family sat at the same table and had a meal again. During the dinner, Man San'er and Hua Xiazi said a lot of funny things.Especially Mensaner, he was really happy.

Man San'er has liked smart people since he was young. The word "smart" doesn't just refer to people who are smart like Chatterbox, but more importantly, they have a good brain.He couldn't go to school by himself, and later mixed with the sixth brother. Among the brothers, he envied the one nicknamed Glasses the most.Usually he doesn't talk much, looks listless, and is quite ruthless in fighting, but unexpectedly loves reading.When they grew up, they all became bastards, but Ren Jinger was admitted to university and is now the dean of a middle school in Chongwen District.

Oh, I almost forgot, now it's called "Dongcheng District".

Among the later juniors, Man San'er likes Zhang Xuan the most.This child was smart and good-looking since he was a child, very much like her mother Ma Juan, but with the same temper as Sixth Brother.Men San'er could tell that Sixth Brother valued Xiaobo's son more and neglected Xuan'er, so Men San'er has always been very kind to Zhang Xuan.

During the meal, Zhang Xuan was also very happy chatting with Uncle Mensaner.But her father was silent all the time, and she was not in the mood to rush to talk to Liu Ye.After the meal, Liu Ye and Men San'er sat in the canteen in front and continued to chat about something, and Hua Xiazi took Zhang Xuan to clean up the table.

Zhang Xiaobo was with his sister, and he didn't help Aunt Xia's persuasion, and he didn't question Zhang Xuan's relationship with Tan Xiaofei.It seems that except for his sister, other things have nothing to do with him.

But in fact, Zhang Xuan's mind is not so happy.From entering the door to now, her biggest feeling is embarrassment.

She has no way to enter this kind of life, as if she has been completely isolated for nine years.

Dad has become a stranger, and there are all kinds of unspeakable secrets between father and daughter.My favorite Uncle Men San'er only followed his sixth brother's lead. He always thought it would be good if Zhang Xuan came back, but he didn't ask her if she was happy.Aunt Xia seems to care about her, but from the beginning to the end, she is nothing more than looking forward to a family and prosperity.As for the younger brother Xiaobo, he was silent from the beginning to the end. Zhang Xuan guessed that he must be very confused about his relationship with Tan Xiaofei.

I really want to go.want to get out of here.Zhang Xuan sat on the stone steps at the door of the house, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, and began to miss Tan Xiaofei in his heart.

While in a daze, Zhang Xiaobo came over and sat down beside her.

"Sister, I have something to ask you."

Zhang Xuan was startled, and told herself in her heart that it was finally here.

"...Well, what do you want to ask?"

"What's going on between you and Tan Xiaofei?" Zhang Xiaobo turned to her, staring at her every expression seriously.

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Didn't you see it all?"

"...Are you crazy?" Zhang Xuan could feel his trembling through the thick winter clothes, "That's Tan Xiaofei!"

"I know him." Zhang Xuan turned his head and looked directly into his younger brother's eyes, "I knew him a long time ago."

As if a certain burning point had been triggered suddenly, Zhang Xiaobo stood up abruptly, glared at Zhang Xuan with an unbelievably angry eyes for the first time, and asked in a low voice: "Aunt Xia told me before that you were… ...Is that person Tan Xiaofei?"

"..."

"Is it Tan Xiaofei?"

Zhang Xuan raised her head and looked at him quietly, suddenly feeling as if she didn't recognize this person.Is this still her brother Xiaobo?Gouging out her scars like this, and questioning her blood dripping in front of her.Is this really her brother?

After being dazed for two seconds, she stood up, patted the dust on the coat, stared into his eyes, and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. I'll go first, that's all."

"and many more."

Before Xiaobo could open his mouth to stop him, a word came out of the oblique stab.Both siblings were stunned, and turned their heads to see Liu Ye coming out of the back room.The whole person is half hidden in the shadow of the eaves, and the eyes that look at him are indifferent but cold.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? As a father, I still have a few questions to ask."

"..."

"Come in, both of you."

After several people sat down in the living room, Liu Ye put on a posture that he insisted on speaking clearly.Chatterbox knew that he couldn't hide it, so he briefly talked about Zhang Xuan's past. Although it wasn't too detailed, it still made Men San'er red-eyed.Sixth Master lowered his eyes slightly, clasped the armrest of the Grand Master's chair tightly with his hands, his face was always indistinguishable from emotion.

The atmosphere condensed down, and Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.She is not afraid to confront her father Zhang Xuejun, after all, after so many years of neglect and hurt, the feelings for her father in her heart have been burned to nothing but a wasteland.She was only worried about Xiaobo.

When all the answers are revealed, will he hate her?Will you look down on her?

"You tell me the truth today, what is your relationship with that Tan Xiaofei?" Sixth Master said hoarsely, although he didn't call the name, but Zhang Xuan knew he was asking her.

Liu Ye was originally a fine individual, so at this age, why can't he understand?Before Xiaobo was sent back by Xiaoyu, he briefly mentioned Tan Xiaofei's reaction on the day Xuan'er sent the money, plus what he heard just now, Liu Ye already had a plan in his mind.

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Xuan looked at somewhere in the void, his eyes were calm and unwavering.

Enraged by his daughter's reluctance, Liu Ye slapped the table down and angrily said: "If you ask me, answer it carefully! Don't wait for me to turn my face!"

"What do you want to know?" Zhang Xuan looked at Liu Ye and sneered, "What's the matter, you see, Tan Xiaofei and I know each other, do you think we deliberately made buckles to cheat you and your son? ?”

Liu Ye hated women's provocation the most in his life, and it has always been like this from the past. Whether it is his daughter-in-law Ma Juan, his own daughter Zhang Xuan, or his lover's chatterbox, this is what makes him most angry.

"I'll beat you to death!" Anger surged up, and Liu Ye picked up the cup in his hand and was about to smash it at it.Men San'er and Hua Xiazi grabbed him quickly, and Xiaobo also quickly stood up and stood in front of Zhang Xuan.

"San'er, Xiaobo, get out of the way both of you! I must kill this bastard today!"

"You want to kill me? Heh, it's too late now." Zhang Xuan looked at Liu Ye like this, her heart shivered, and her expression also became cold, "You should have taken advantage of my mother's pregnancy with me in the first place. Kicking her stomach gave birth to my baby!"

"Okay! Xuan'er, don't say a few words!" Men San'er turned around and shouted at her, Zhang Xuan turned his head and stopped looking at them.

The Sixth Master was pressed down by Men San'er and sat down again, still angry, "You are a bitch? That little bastard Tan Xiaofei has ruined you, why are you still willing to follow him! I just figured it out." Now, how did your mother teach you back then? Taught you to be like this!"

Hearing such heart-piercing scolding, Zhang Xuan was suddenly a little rejoiced.Fortunately, she has no expectations for her father, her heart is wrapped in a heavy armor, which her father Zhang Xuejun has created for her over the years.

"How did my mother teach it? Heh, Liu Ye, don't you think it's funny what you said. How my mother taught me and you have something to do with it? Anyway, you didn't teach it. Yes, I'm a bitch. Tan Xiaofei If that’s the case, I’m still willing to be with him. Do you know why? Because he treats me well. Besides, can you control who I want to be with? Leave your son alone!”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xuan didn't listen to what Liu Ye had to say, since there was nothing nice to say anyway, Zhang Xuan picked up her bag and turned away.It was snowing again outside at some point, and the fine snowflakes seemed to float into her heart.

Walking out of the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt a little ridiculous.When she stepped here in the morning, she actually thought for a moment that maybe she would reconcile.

Oh, it's like a dream.

Zhang Xiaobo also followed, and the two walked to the entrance of the alley. Zhang Xuan stopped, looked back at him, and said, "Xiaobo, this is the end of this matter, you are fine. Don't cause trouble again, you know?" ?”

"Well, sister, where do you live now? I'll take you back."

"No, I'll just go back by myself, you go inside, it's cold outside."

"sister……"

"Go back, be obedient, ah."

Zhang Xiaobo looked at his sister hesitantly, but he didn't say anything in the end.Looking at the back of her leaving, I suddenly recalled the words she said just now.

"Tan Xiaofei is like that, I am still willing to be with him. Do you know why? Because he treats me well."

Is Tan Xiaofei really nice to her?Or is it because we have treated her too badly?

The courtyard is also not very peaceful.Seeing that Zhang Xuan had left, the chatterbox slammed at Liu Ye, "What the hell are you doing! Is there anything you can't say properly? The children are back, and you can still go away in anger!"

The sixth master was trembling with anger, and said in a hoarse voice: "When you fight in a few days, don't worry about any of you, that little bastard Tan Xiaofei, I must kill him."

He knew in his heart that his daughter hated him, but he couldn't ignore it.Maybe she won't appreciate it, but Liu Ye thought, this is the only thing he can do for Xuan'er.

------------

It was already dark when Zhang Xuan's call was received.Tan Xiaofei could tell that she was very depressed.As the speeding car drove over, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Xuan was able to find him the first time he was wronged, and did not leave again, I am really thankful.

The place where I found her was on an unremarkable bench in the pedestrian street of Wanda Plaza.Zhang Xuan sat there quietly, looking somewhere, with snow falling on her hair and shoulders.

"A Xuan!"

Hearing his voice, Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes and looked up at him.The emptiness and hopelessness in those eyes made him feel distressed.I couldn't help reaching out to brush the snow off her long hair, but I heard her ask: "...Why you?"

"..." His movements froze in mid-air.

"Why you?" Why is the person I love?

"..."

"It's all your fault. Tan Xiaofei." It's all your fault.You hurt me, and I fell into despair for a while.And now it's showing up again, leaving me in a dilemma.

"... Ah Xuan."

"I have nothing now. Just you."

Of course Tan Xiaofei couldn't hear the voice in her heart, but he seemed to be able to understand all her grievances, hesitation, and sadness.He pulled Zhang Xuan up, held her tightly in his arms, and kissed her cold face carefully.

"Ah Xuan, don't be afraid, I'm here."

"...Xiao Fei." She finally cried out, like a drowning person grabbing driftwood and hugging him with all her strength.

"Don't cry. If it's too sad, you hate me, as long as you don't leave me, you can do anything."

This is real.For Zhang Xuan, he would do anything.

And so is Zhang Xuan.Apart from Tan Xiaofei, she has nothing left.
