within Temptation

Chapter 238 Questions
Although Tang Xiaoru had an interested expression on her face, she didn't seem very happy.Listening to me talking, she didn't even have an expression of interest, she just frowned, as if she was full of displeasure.

I also felt that her expression was wrong, so I couldn't help but stop talking and asked him with concern: "Mr. Tang, what's the matter? Are you tired?"

Tang Xiaoru snorted coldly, and said, "I'm a little tired, but it's okay, you can continue talking. How did that beautiful woman whom you praised so rare in the world make you so enchanted that you couldn't help yourself?"

I hesitated for a moment, and was alert to find that her tone seemed to be in a bad mood.what's wrong?Didn't she ask me to tell something about my sweetheart?Why does it sound like she's a little impatient now?
Suddenly, I seemed to understand it all at once.Just now... I kept comparing her with my sweetheart, because Tang Xiaoru and the woman I mentioned were the same person.Although I deliberately made her believe that I was talking about someone else, but with Tang Xiaoru's intelligence, she wouldn't... feel something, right?
My cold sweat came out all at once.No wonder Tang Xiaoru's face turned cold when she heard this, maybe she already guessed that the sweetheart I mentioned was her.Oops, this is really too much to say, and it's self-defeating.

I immediately regretted it in my heart, how could I have the heart to continue talking?So, I immediately said: "Since you're tired, why don't you talk about it? It's late, and I should go back. You should sleep well at night, and you will recover quickly when you are refreshed."

Tang Xiaoru really didn't intend to keep me anymore. She just hummed lightly when she heard that, and said, "That's okay, I'm really sleepy. When I'm leaving, turn off the lights for me, and check when I close the door." , see if it is tightly closed."

I agreed, and quickly stood up to turn off the ceiling light in the bedroom.Turning around, I saw Tang Xiaoru lying down on the bed and sleeping soundly, and closed her eyes.I was apprehensive, and I didn't dare to say goodbye to her again, so I left her home just like that.

By the time I got back to my home, it was almost midnight.My mother has already come back and slept with Yingying.I lay down on my own bed, but I couldn't fall asleep for a long time.I kept thinking wildly in my mind, wondering whether Tang Xiaoru had understood what was on my mind.

well!If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have taken the opportunity to confide my feelings to her.I thought I could secretly express my love for Tang Xiaoru, but I forgot that Tang Xiaoru is an extremely smart woman!What should I do now?In case she really guessed something, how can I get along with her in the future?

All night, I was regretting and complaining about myself.In the panic, I don't know when I fell asleep in a daze.So much so that I woke up late the next morning, almost late for work.

Tang Xiaoru came to the company around ten o'clock in the morning. When I saw her, I found that although she was still a bit haggard, her expression was normal, and she didn't look like she was still having a fever.

When I saw Tang Xiaoru, logically, I should of course go over to take care of her and ask her if she is recovering.But I have ghosts in my heart, but I can't muster the courage.Moreover, Tang Xiaoru seems to be avoiding me too.When we met in the aisle, she turned sideways, didn't even say hello, just passed me by without paying attention.

My heart suddenly felt cold, knowing that what I was most worried about had indeed happened.Tang Xiaoru definitely guessed that the woman I like is her.Otherwise, she wouldn't have avoided me so deliberately, not even saying a word to me.

Probably, she just wanted me to understand that it was impossible for me and her.Stop thinking about it, and keep in touch with each other less in the future, so as not to embarrass each other, right?

I sighed and had to accept this reality.But fortunately, I didn't confess my love to her explicitly. Although she and I knew each other well, at least we still saved each other's face.Anyway, I didn't even think about pursuing her in the past, and I didn't feel any discomfort in my heart.

So, Tang Xiaoru and I managed to reconcile with each other for one night, and returned to the state of indifference and avoidance again.Everything that happened that night was like a dream. When I woke up, nothing existed.My life has returned to the original track.It's plain, commuting to and from get off work on time every day, and living a cookie-cutter life.

My nephew Liangliang's illness was completely cured the next day.As a child, illness comes and goes quickly.Tang Xiaoru continued to catch a cold for two days, but she recovered quickly after taking medicine slowly.

Before you know it, Saturday is here.Later, during my call with Feleina, I had already discussed with her that I would not attend the birthday party of that classmate of hers.After all, I'm an outsider, and I don't know any of her classmates, so it's not interesting to go there.But Ferena said she would come out early and go to karaoke with me.I don't have any objection to this, anyway, I haven't seen her for more than a month.It was a rare opportunity for her to come out this time.Although her mother has begun to loosen her supervision over her daughter, Fei Leina is a wealthy daughter after all, unlike us ordinary children who can come out to play whenever they want.

On Saturday, the weather was getting colder and colder.People were walking on the street, wearing thick coats and fluffy scarves, still shivering from the cold.

The weather forecast said that there would be a heavy snowfall today, but until the evening, the first snow of this year was still gone.

After dinner, I helped my mother clean up the dining table, and sat by the brazier in the living room to warm up the fire.It's still early, and it will be at least eight or nine o'clock in the evening when Fei Leina comes out after attending her classmate's birthday party.It's cold, my house doesn't have an air conditioner, and I only have a brazier to keep warm.

Yingying also sat quietly next to me. She was wearing a thick down jacket, and her face was flushed. I don't know if it was because of the freezing weather or being roasted by the brazier.

It has been more than three months since she came to my house after her biological mother passed away.Unknowingly, from the strangeness and rejection at the beginning, there is now a strong family affection.In my heart, I already regard her as the most important family member in my life.Yingying's eyes are invisible, and she doesn't talk much.As long as I am at home, her favorite thing to do is to sit quietly beside me and listen to me silently.

I don't know why, but whenever this happens, I always feel happy and happy, as if I don't have the worries and anxieties that made me worry.Today was the same as usual, I turned my head and saw her peaceful little face, and my heart felt warm and happy.

So, I stretched out a hand, and slowly held one of her little hands into the palm of my hand.

Yingying felt it, and moved her face slightly to my side, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said softly: "Brother!"

I hummed, feeling her little hands were a little cold.I knew that since she couldn't see, she couldn't put her hands near the brazier.Because if any sparks splashed, she would easily get burned if she didn't know how to avoid it.

I was thinking that this winter will be very long. There is no air conditioner at home, and the brazier alone seems to be unable to solve the problem of heating.Yingying can't get close to the brazier when no one is looking after her.In case there is an accident or something, a large pot of charcoal is no joke.In the past two months, I have also saved thousands of dollars.Isn't it... buy an air conditioner first and put it in my mother and Yingying's room?
