within Temptation

Chapter 221 Confession to Tang Xiaoru
At 3000:[-] in the evening, I came to a place called Qingxin Tea House near Shi Shanshan's home.I made an appointment with her on the phone in the morning, and we will meet here at eight o'clock in the evening, and I will return the [-] yuan I owe her.

This is a tea house that is not too big, but the environment is OK.After going up, I chose a seat near the stairs and sat down so that Shi Shanshan could find me when she came.

The waitress came to greet me, and I ordered a pot of Pu'er tea.Then, I lit a cigarette and waited slowly for Shi Shanshan's arrival.

Shi Shanshan was not late. A few minutes later, I saw a familiar figure walking up the stairs.Although she was wearing a thick coat, her figure looked slender and thin.It is none other than my ex-girlfriend Shi Shanshan.

As soon as I saw her, I stood up immediately.He raised his hand and called softly, "Shanshan!"

Hearing my cry, Shi Shanshan turned her gaze, and when she saw it was me, she walked over with a blank expression.I watched her sit down across from me silently. I didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking about it, I said, "I just ordered a pot of Pu'er. What do you want to drink? I'll order it for you."

Shi Shanshan put down the bag in her hand, shook her head when she heard the words, and finally said: "No, Pu'er is just Pu'er. Anyway, I can't stay much longer, I have to go after sitting for a while."

My heart felt cold, I could only say oh, and then I had nothing to say.It's only been more than a month since we broke up, has your relationship with me become so estranged?
I sighed softly, grabbed my cigarette case from the table, lit a cigarette and smoked.Shi Shanshan on the opposite side still looks the same, but really... is already a stranger!

After a few puffs of cigarettes, the Pu'er tea I wanted was delivered.The waitress poured tea for us, and then left with a sense of humor.For several minutes, Shi Shanshan and I were silent.

Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore.After coughing, he opened the topic and asked, "Shanshan, recently... how are you?"

Shi Shanshan picked up the teacup and blew on the hot air, but didn't drink it.After thinking for a while, he replied: "It's okay, that's how I live."

I forced a smile and said, "Really? Listen to me, you are going to work in a company run by a classmate of yours. How are you doing now? Have you started working?"

Shi Shanshan smiled faintly, and said: "It's a small company, it's still my old business of finance, there's nothing you can't get started with."

I said oh again, and then I wanted to ask her something else, but I didn't know which ones to ask.After holding back for a long time, I couldn't find a topic, so I had to continue the original topic and ask: "Your classmate... male and female? Did you have a good relationship with you before? Working under him, will you..."

Shi Shanshan suddenly raised her head and gave me a strange look in her eyes.I was stunned for a moment, thinking that I had said something wrong, and hastily explained: "Don't get me wrong, I have no other meaning, just a random question."

After Shi Shanshan glanced at me, she immediately lowered her head again, took a sip of tea while breathing.After pondering for a while, he replied: "That classmate of mine liked me when he was studying. After so many years, he said he still hasn't forgotten me. I think, since he still likes me, I should work under him. , should not suffer any grievances."

My heart trembled again, and a burst of nameless sadness rushed into my heart immediately.Shi Shanshan left me so resolutely, could it be because of her classmate?

When I thought of this possibility, I suddenly lost my mood.He grabbed the teacup and drank it vigorously, but he couldn't ask her any more questions.

Shi Shanshan put down the teacup slowly, raised her head and looked at me carefully.After a while, she said softly, "How are you? After I left, did you confess to Tang Xiaoru?"

I could only smile wryly, took another sip of tea, and said, "Shanshan, it's not like you don't know, I never thought of pursuing Tang Xiaoru, how could I confess my love?"

"is it?"

Shi Shanshan sighed lowly, remained silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Dai Yong, the more you dare not confess your love to her, the more you can't forget her in your heart. Do you really plan to have such a secret love for the rest of your life? Doesn't she want to free herself?"

I was stunned, looked at Shi Shanshan in confusion, and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Shi Shanshan looked directly into my eyes, and slowly said: "Dai Yong, I had a crush on you before, so I bravely confessed to you. Although being with you is not pleasant, I have worked hard, so I have no regrets. I don't regret it. But what about you? You obviously like Tang Xiaoru so much, but you just bury it in your heart and don't show it at all. This kind of repressed feeling will only get deeper and deeper as time goes by, and it will become harder and harder to forget. You For the rest of my life, I will be influenced by her and worry about her. I just foresaw this, that's why I broke up with you, do you understand? "

I stayed for a long time, but still didn't understand the meaning of Shi Shanshan's words.Want me to confess my love to Tang Xiaoru?Are you kidding me?Knowing that it is impossible, why should I lose that person?Besides, she is the boss of my company, unless I don't want to do it anymore, otherwise how can I hang around in the company after this confession is rejected?
So, I shook my head, smiled wryly, and said, "Don't talk about such an impossible thing. Shanshan, this is the 3000 yuan I owe you. Now, I will pay you back."

As I said that, I touched my pocket and took out a thick envelope that I had prepared long ago.Shi Shanshan didn't look at the envelope in my hand at all, she looked straight at me and said, "You still don't understand? It's because it's impossible, so I have to confess my love to her!"

My hands stopped, and I looked at Shi Shanshan who seemed anxious for no reason, and was about to speak. Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice, which seemed to come from the stairs in front: "There is no need for a box, just sit outside Bar."

This voice... Could it be...

I couldn't help but tilt my head, looked through Shi Shanshan's body, and looked in the direction of the voice.Sure enough, I saw a man and a woman just coming up from the bottom of the stairs.The man is about 30 years old, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and looks like a successful person.The woman is very young, with a petite figure, but has ample breasts that are out of proportion to her smaller figure.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, where are you looking?"

Shi Shanshan, who was sitting opposite me, frowned, and finally couldn't help turning around, and saw the man and woman who just came up.But she didn't know each other, so she turned her head and said to me: "What's the matter? Do you know those two people?"

I smiled wryly, and said to myself that I don't know this man, but that woman is Zhang Wen, Tang Xiaoru's best friend.

I haven't seen her for over a month. Even she...does she have a boyfriend?
