Chapter 2005: What Do You an
Zhai Hua rolled down the car windows and smiled at Tian Dong. “How about it? Do you want to give you a lift?”
Tian Dong didn’t react for a while. When he spoke, he refused. “No need. Go and do what you have to do. It shouldn’t be too difficult to hail a taxi here. I shan’t delay you.” He was willing to let go of so things, but this didn’t an that when he was facing them, he wouldn’t feel uncomfortable in his heart at all.
Zhai Hua felt that she was busy and thus didn’t manage to find a chance to have a al with Tian Dong. However, Tian Dong knew it in his heart that he didn’t want to have this al at all. Even if there were this ti and opportunity, he would pretend that he didn’t know about it and just miss it ti and ti again.
He had already missed out on that most important ti. The interaction that shouldn’t have been missed out now had already beco the existence of a mistake.
Zhai Hua rolled her eyes. “Are you pretending to be a fool deliberately? At this age, Zhai Sheng’s eyesight and listening are still good. No wonder he always thinks about getting married and having children. He told that your car broke down. Initially, I thought he was joking. Alright, get in the car. I deliberately drove to send you to the airport. Are you not going to give face? You sent Jiajia to the hospital. How big a matter is it that I send you to the airport? Don’t be as wishy-washy as when you were young.” How unlike a big man.
“When I was young?” How rare it was that Zhai Hua still rembered what happened when they were young. It was a pity that she didn’t rember those that she should but rembered those that she shouldn’t. “Sure. I’ll trouble you then.”
Putting the luggage into the trunk of the car and then sitting next to Zhai Hua was a huge test for Tian Dong. He was married for ten years and his son was already eight years old. It was only now that he felt that everything he thought he had forgotten was actually deeply carved into his bones.
He was feeling so uncomfortable, but the woman next to him was still smiling. Tian Dong smiled lightly. “Zhai Hua, you’re really a heartless person.”
Zhai Hua’s behavior made Tian Dong understand that he should really let it go. “My wife’s a great woman. She’s very gentle and helps take care of the elderly and children at ho. She cares a lot about too. She deserves better treatnt and a better life.”
Zhai Hua felt like her heart was pricked. Her facial expression was inexplicable. “But of course. You have already married her. Of course, you have to treat her well. This is what a man should do. You shouldn’t just say them but do them. Seeing that you’re so tall and muscular now and that your figure is comparable to the soldiers in the army, I thought you beca a real man. Listening to your words, I realized that you’re the sa as before, so wishy-washy. To think that we joked when we were young that when you grew up, I would marry you.”
“...”
“...”
After Zhai Hua’s words, Tian Dong didn’t say anything. The atmosphere imdiately beca quiet. After a long while, Tian Dong broke this awkward silence. He smiled very faintly and said, “Is that so? Did you say this when you were young? I don’t rember it.”
No matter how slow Zhai Hua was, she also felt that the atmosphere was strange now. “Brat, you have such a bad mory. That’s true as well. So many things happened after that, and so many years have passed. It was just a joke made in the past. It’s pretty normal to forget about it.”
If it wasn’t that she chatted with Dongzi today by chance, she herself could hardly rember the words that were said during their childhood tis.
“Yes, it has been so many years. It’s pretty normal to forget about it.”
Tian Dong repeated Zhai Hua’s words as confirmation. Although Tian Dong was obviously agreeing with what she said, Zhai Hua didn’t know why but she felt that his words sounded strange. There seed to be another aning to them. “Dongzi, since when did you start to speak in circles with ? Is your skin itching for a fight?”
In the face of her childhood playmate, Zhai Hua was like the past. She felt that the best way to improve relationships was to fight. She was like that when facing her younger brother, Zhai Sheng, as well.
Seeing the look of helplessness on Zhai Hua’s face, Tian Dong really smiled this ti. “Childish. Don’t forget that I’m in a rush. You have a daughter and I have a son. My son is undergoing surgery and waiting for to return.” A fight? Ten years ago, he really wanted to have a fight with Zhai Hua. He wanted to knock her on the head and ask if she really treated the words she had said previously as rubbish.
However, Tian Dong felt that everything was over now. He didn’t even have the energy to argue or fight with Zhai Hua anymore. So things were over and should be left at that. Even if Zhai Hua was divorced, Zhai Hua had her own life and he had his own family. It was good to forget about it. Things that were forgotten shouldn’t be ntioned again, lest they hurt each other again.
After Tian Dong finished talking, Zhai Hua nearly couldn’t continue the conversation. It was at least twenty minutes away to the airport. How awkward was it if they didn’t say anything the entire ti? There was no choice. Zhai Hua asked, “Didn’t you say you have an eight-year-old son? What’s his na?”
“...” Tian Dong closed his eyes and seed to be resting. “Tian Huaguang.”
“What does it an?” Zhai Hua’s heart skipped a beat. Tian Huaguang. Both their nas had the sa character, Hua. How coincidental.
“The light of China.” Tian Dong said, “No matter what, I haven’t forgotten that I’m Chinese. My son has been learning Chinese since primary school. My generation might not be able to return and make a coback, but I believe my son will return to the country to develop and beco the light of China.”
Great. Zhai Hua felt that she was slapped in the face. That short mont when she felt her heartbeat race had completely disappeared. “It turned out to be this aning. The light of China. That’s a good na. It’s particularly aningful. I believe your son, Xiao Guang, can do it in the future.”
“I think so too.” Seeing that Zhai Hua looked embarrassed, Tian Dong felt a little happier. This was the first ti he realized he was actually quite petty. That was true as well. Not only was the promise he had kept and cherished deeply in his heart for more than twenty years forgotten, but the other party even fell in love and got married behind his back. Even a saint would get angry in that case.
As they chatted, the twenty-minute journey wasn’t considered especially slow. After sending Tian Dong to the airport, Zhai Hua secretly heaved a sigh of relief. When Dongzi was young, he was like a girl as he was very good-tempered. How did he change so much after growing up? She almost didn’t know how to talk to Dongzi anymore.
Damn. Thankfully, they had already arrived at the airport. Otherwise, she was already prepared to be a mute.
As he brought down his luggage, Tian Dong looked deeply at Zhai Hua.
