When Zhou Shutong saw me trotting over, he twisted his waist and came towards me. Her boots left deep footprints in the snow.
Her little face turned red from the cold, and I was about to speak when she suddenly came close to me, sniffing me like a kitten, and raised the corners of her lips, "Hey, you drank too much! Are you trapped in love?" "
A wry smile appeared on my lips, "We poor people only shed tears for money."
"Come on, come and have something to eat with me! I haven't had dinner yet! I want to eat hot pot."
I touched my stomach, feeling a little regretful, and sighed, "If I had known better, I wouldn't have eaten the skewers."
Zhou Shutong showed a naughty smile, "Then I'll eat and you pay."
"Damn it! Then I have to take a few bites."
In a hotpot restaurant.
There was ice and snow outside the window, and inside the house, a hot pot was steaming faintly.
Heat continued to rise in the air, and an elegant fragrance filled the air. My depressed mood was instantly cured.
Winter goes best with hot pot. In my heart, gathering around a hot pot with a few friends on a cold night and sleeping at home on a rainy day are the two top enjoyments in life.
I feel a little sad. In this city, I have fewer and fewer friends with whom I can eat hot pot.
Zhou Shutong picked up a thin piece of meat and tossed it back and forth in the boiling water. She picked up a piece of cooked meat and I handed the bowl over to her with a swipe, but she turned a blind eye.
She held the pieces of meat, dipped them lightly in the sauce dish, and then put them into her mouth gracefully.
"Aren't you full?" She rolled her eyes at me.
"Of course I have to give you face."
"Tch! Catch it yourself!" Zhou Shutong rolled his eyes.
I wasn't hungry at first, but seeing her eating so deliciously, I suddenly had a little appetite again, so I started using my chopsticks.
Zhou Shutong took the initiative to open the topic, "You and Feifei just quarreled, so why did you run away from home?"
"I can't stand this naughty kid! Since Feifei doesn't agree to let him leave early, then I'll leave! Out of sight, out of mind."
I said it calmly and looked as if nothing had happened, but my heart had long been occupied by helpless emotions.
In fact, I had no intention of complaining to Zhou Shutong, otherwise I would have told her that I "ran away from home" as soon as possible.
The life of an adult is never easy. You are so busy taking care of your own mood that you have no energy to care about others, not to mention that there is never any real empathy in this world.
Zhou Shutong smiled and said, "Come on! Stop pretending to be calm in front of me. Don't I understand you? On the surface, you look calm and relaxed, but in your heart, you don't know how many episodes of sadomasochism dramas you have acted in." "
I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Zhou Shutong is indeed the person who understands me best. My heart is indeed in chaos, and my mind is occupied by emotions.
I stared at her beautiful face and felt filled with emotion. I would never have to wear a mask in front of her.
"Okay! I admit, my mind is full of this matter right now. This naughty kid is too annoying. He has messed up our family's life." I took off my "disguise" and complained. ap.
Zhou Shutong smiled sweetly, and an intriguing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I can't help it, you and Lin Feifei have different attitudes towards relatives. Your attitudes towards naughty children are actually a reflection of your attitudes towards your relatives. You I feel like I have to keep a distance from my relatives, but Lin Feifei thinks relatives are very important. If you two can't agree on this matter, it might be very troublesome if you get married in the future."
I was speechless, and my mood seemed to fall into the cold winter with the change of seasons.
I don't understand what she said. Marriage will not solve the problem, it will only amplify it. If these conflicts are not resolved, we may have to face these problems every winter and summer vacation in the future.
I suddenly felt that the beef in my mouth no longer tasted good, so I smiled bitterly and said, "I know all this. I didn't expect that Lin Feifei has a bad relationship with her mother, but she is so good to her relatives."
I shook my head helplessly. The naughty child really made me depressed.
But what depresses me the most is Lin Feifei's attitude. My status in her heart is not as good as that of a naughty child. This is what makes me most speechless.
I don't necessarily want her to hang around me, I just want to put our little family first, not those so-called relatives and friends. In fact, the appearance of the naughty child only exposed this contradiction.
Just when I was lost in thought, Zhou Shutong's voice floated over again, "Maybe it's because her mother doesn't care about her very much, and the naughty mother made up for Feifei's lack of family affection when she was growing up. What a pity! That’s why she insisted on keeping the naughty child. That day I went to your house with the cat in my arms. The naughty child really made me drunk. I only had contact with him for a short while, and I was enough. That’s right, besides, why don’t you bother seeing him every day?”
I felt like she was talking about it in my heart, and I thought that finally someone could understand me.
I took the initiative to raise my glass, clinked it with her, and said with emotion: "My soulmate! If only Feifei could understand me like this."
Zhou Shutong lazily picked up the beer cup and took a sip. She couldn't help spitting out a faint aroma of wine, "I think Feifei doesn't understand. I just went to your house to deliver something, and she looked at that naughty child. Her eyes are not as gentle as before. She may not be able to pass the test in her heart. In her heart, she must fulfill her promise to her cousin, otherwise she will lose face."
"Face, face again!"
I got very angry when I mentioned face. I put down my draft beer glass heavily and couldn't help but complain, "I think face is the most useless thing."
Zhou Shutong smiled, "But you also know that face is the hardest thing to let go of."
I opened my mouth, but suddenly I didn't know what to say. Is it worth it to have the small family that I have worked so hard to manage suffer an impact just to save face?
I have always adhered to an ideological principle: Instead of caring about other people's opinions, it is better to pay more attention to yourself!
No matter how important face is, it is not as important as my own small family. Unfortunately, Lin Feifei and I are always on the same page on this matter.
I took another sip of wine, and the bitter alcohol slipped into my throat. The depressed mood was washed away in an instant, and soon it shrouded my heart again like a dark cloud.
Putting down the wine glass, I looked at Zhou Shutong's pretty face that was slightly dizzy from wine, and a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in my heart, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet. You came to me. It was Feifei who asked you to be a lobbyist." ?」
Zhou Shutong shook his head, "Of course not, she just told me about it. She asked me to help her persuade you, but she didn't know that I asked you out to eat hot pot."
