within Temptation

Chapter 230 A Little Too Wide

I didn't expect that Tang Xiaoru would be interested in this question.When she suddenly asked me this question, I was stunned for a moment, and I didn't know how to answer it.

Tell her the truth, that the woman I can't forget is her?
How can this be?Unless I'm crazy or something.Seeing that because of her illness this time, I took the opportunity of taking care of her to explain the real reason why Shi Shanshan and I broke up.Tang Xiaoru's misunderstanding and indifference towards me in the past two months have disappeared, and the friendly relationship in the past is gradually being restored.It was absolutely stupid for me to suddenly confess to her at this moment.

Don't say that Tang Xiaoru will be shocked and embarrassed when she hears this, but once she finds out that the culprit who caused me to break up with Shi Shanshan is actually herself, with her kind personality and hope that Shi Shanshan and I can get back together The thought of her will definitely cause her to have a strong self-blame, and it is very likely that she will alienate me again and take the initiative to cut off all my unreasonable thoughts about her.

Although I don't really have any thoughts about Tang Xiaoru, but in this way, how can I have the face to meet her every day?At that time, don't say that you don't even have to make friends, and even this job may not be able to continue.

Therefore, at this time, I can't tell the truth even if I am killed.

But, if I don't tell the truth, how should I answer Tang Xiaoru's question?Make up a woman to prevaricate?What if Tang Xiaoru had a whim and asked carefully about this woman's background and the process of getting to know me?In such a haste, how can I weave it seamlessly without any flaws?

Seeing that I didn't answer for a long time, Tang Xiaoru, who was lying on the bed, probably knew that I didn't want to say anything.Gently turned over, turned his face to the other side, and said quietly: "This is your private matter, if it's not convenient to say it, then forget it. I'm just curious, just asking casually."

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief. It would be best if Tang Xiaoru didn't ask.Otherwise, I would have been forced to lie.At the moment, I was so happy that I quickly changed the subject and said, "Mr. Tang, I'm addicted to smoking. Can I smoke at your house?"

Tang Xiaoru still turned her back to me, as if expressing dissatisfaction with me, she snorted and said, "If you want to smoke, go to the living room outside, and don't make my room dirty."

I smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go outside to smoke and make a phone call. You can rest, and I'll come in later to take your temperature."

Saying that, I hurried to the living room outside as if fleeing.Just as I walked to the door of the room, Tang Xiaoru suddenly stopped me: "Wait a minute!"

I was in a daze, so I had no choice but to stop and turn around, saying, "What's the matter?"

On the bed, Tang Xiaoru had already opened her eyes, propped her upper body on her elbows, looked at me and pointed the other hand in the direction of the living room outside and said, "You can smoke, but don't flick the ash all over the floor. The living room There is an ashtray in the closet, you can take it out and use it. By the way, there are still a few packs of good cigarettes in it, you can smoke them all, and I will give it to you."

I was stunned for a moment, but I didn't realize it. Tang Xiaoru is a woman and lives alone. How could there be cigarettes and ashtrays at home?

Tang Xiaoru didn't wait for my reply, and then said: "I have already discovered that you, a senior employee of a dignified company, how do you smoke that kind of inferior cigarettes? Every time you get close to you, you always have an unpleasant smell of cigarettes. I give you so much salary and bonus a month, where did you spend it? Even if you don’t take care of your body, you still have to think about the company’s image, right? Let others see that our company is so poor that we don’t even have a salary They can’t even get it out, and employees can only smoke cigarettes that cost a few yuan a pack.”

I... I'm speechless, is Tang Xiaoru feverish and confused?How did you teach me what to smoke?You are not my girlfriend, you are too lenient, right?

Tang Xiaoru said such a long paragraph in one breath, but she seemed to be unable to hold on, and immediately lay back weakly again.I was stunned for a long time, speechless, I could only shake my head and gave a wry smile, then turned around and walked out of her bedroom.

When I came to the living room, I went directly to the closet on one side, opened the kitchen door, and sure enough, I saw a crystal ashtray on the middle shelf.Behind the ashtray is a soft shell Chinese cigarette that has been unpacked.

Now, I am even more surprised.Why do Tang Xiaoru really have these things at home?Is it for entertaining guests?What kind of guests do you need her to entertain at home, and also prepare a whole carton of high-end cigarettes?
Suddenly, I suddenly remembered that when I was watching Xu Shu's concert at the stadium that day, I met Tang Xiaoru and Fei Jiahui sitting together.Didn't Tang Xiaoru immediately persuade him to smoke less when he saw Fei Jiahui lit a cigarette first?

From this we can be sure that Fei Jiahui is a smoker, so Tang Xiaoru prepares cigarettes at her home just to entertain him, right?Otherwise, I really can't think of any other man who deserves Tang Xiaoru to buy cigarettes and prepare an ashtray at home?
After figuring this out, an unspeakable sadness filled my chest all of a sudden.Tang Xiaoru, that man obviously has a wife and daughter, why do you have to pay so much for him?Besides, Fei Jiahui may not be sincere to you.Judging from the situation I have so far, he is also reluctant to part with his family, wife and daughter.Fei Leina is getting happier every day. From the content of her calls with me every day, I can tell that Fei Jiahui and her wife are already back.If he really wants to be responsible to you, he should make up his mind to leave that family and give you a title and happiness, right?Don't you hate that kind of irresponsible man the most because of what happened to your mother?In this case, how could you fall in love with a married man and do such irresponsible things by yourself?

Thinking of this, the joy of reconciliation with Tang Xiaoru just now disappeared when the misunderstanding was resolved.At the same time, I also feel that I am more stupid than Tang Xiaoru.He clearly knows that she loves someone else, but he still likes her without complaint or regret.

Of course I don't want the cigarettes that Tang Xiaoru prepared for Fei Jiahui.I took out the crystal ashtray and put it on the coffee table in the living room. I took out my Blue Mountain cigarette, lit it, and smoked slowly.

Shaking my head, I don't think about these troublesome things anymore.He took out his mobile phone and dialed my sister's home number.

It was my mother who answered the phone, and she was indeed there to take care of her nephew.I explained my current situation to her, and asked Liangliang how her condition was.My mother said that after Liangliang came back from the hospital, he was normal all day long, and his body temperature has not changed until now.Now that he has fallen asleep, it is estimated that there will be no major problems.Since I am taking care of other patients, I will do my best to take care of them well, and there is no need to rush over to visit them.

Then, my sister also answered the phone and said a few words to me.She also said that Liangliang was fine, and she didn't want me to worry.Since I have something to do outside, there is no need to come here.

I thought that if Tang Xiaoru's fever persisted, I really couldn't leave her alone.Once it gets too late, even if I rush over, my sister and the others are already asleep.Since Liangliang is fine until now, I'd better stay here and take care of this patient.

So, I didn't insist.After speaking a few more words with my sister, I hung up the phone.

During the call, I finished a cigarette.After I finished smoking, I went back to Tang Xiaoru's bedroom to see how she was doing.

After walking into the room, I saw her lying quietly on her side on the bed, motionless, as if she had fallen asleep.I quietly walked to the bed and stretched out a hand to touch her forehead.At the beginning, it feels like it is hotter than before.

I was taken aback, thinking that it had only been a few minutes, did my body temperature rise again?No, you have to measure it quickly with a thermometer. If it exceeds 39 degrees, you need to use medicine to cool down immediately!
