Wildfire

It is said that brother does not eat ginger.

Lao Lin smiled and nodded, "I see."

He was tossing about the decoration recently, so several small rooms were not opened, so he brought them to a room with a small round table. Lao Lin didn't follow in, and went directly to the kitchen behind.

The small round table is not easy to sit on, and it is awkward to be far or close. In the end, Tao Xiaodong took a chair across from Tang Suoyan, and there was an empty seat between them.

There was no one around, only two people left. When Tao Xiaodong was walking just now, someone held his back and listened to some words, but now he suddenly became quiet, and he didn't know how to answer.

Tang Suoyan said it just now, and he is not afraid to say it again now. Tao Xiaodong knew all about that, and there was nothing to hide.

"Tangning and I have been together for thirteen years from the age of twenty-three to this year." Tang Suoyan just came in and there was no tea on the table. Tang Suoyan tore off a wet towel and wiped his hands slowly, "When we were together I never thought that one day we would be divided, this is the truth, at least I didn't think about it."

"It's divided now, but these years still exist, no matter whether it is good or not, and what the final result is, it still exists."

He leaned over and took a wet wipe from the other side, threw it at Tao Xiaodong to wipe his hands, and continued, "If I said today that Tangning no longer exists with me, and that I don't know this person, I would be lying."

Tao Xiaodong opened his mouth and said, "That must exist."

Tang Suoyan's fingers are very long, and he kept wiping his hands while he was talking. Tao Xiaodong's eyes fell on his hands, and he heard Tang Suoyan say: "So you will hear a lot of things between me and him. Although I won't I'm telling you these things, but you can also hear other people's mouths, including last time Tangning told you about my hands. There are still, even many, such things."

The little girl knocked on the door and came in to deliver refreshments, her movements were slow and demure. When they came in, Tang Suoyan didn't speak, only the crisp sound of the porcelain plate falling on the marble table. Tao Xiaodong said "thank you" when people went out.

The door closed again, and Tao Xiaodong took the initiative to say, "You don't have to tell me this, Brother Yan."

Tao Xiaodong also started to wipe his hands, bowed his head and smiled: "I'm lost when you say this, I feel like you want to explain to me, I really don't need it."

Tang Suoyan's cell phone rang, he took it out and took a look, then put it aside.

"I'm a nervous person, I don't have that much thought, and I'm already at this age, I really don't care about it like a young child." Tao Xiaodong said to him, "I really don't care, the past is the past and the future is the future. , There is a difference between yesterday and today, and it is meaningless to pay attention to these."

Tang Suoyan took a sip of tea and looked at him, "I just want to tell you that no matter how you and I develop in the future, it's between you and me. No matter what happens in the end, it's not because of Tang Ning's love." effect. Do you know what I mean?"

Tao Xiaodong understood this, and understood it instantly. After I understood it, I felt a little bit emotional, because today's conversation sounds too close.

Tang Ning and I are in the past, and you and I will not be affected by him. "With him" and "with you", these words can't be heard to be closer to anyone, but the "before" and "after" in the voice sound very clear.

Tangning approached Tang Suoyan twice, both times in the hospital. Every time he was smiling, Tang Suoyan seemed lukewarm. Tangning was not as sharp as before, and her temper was much restrained.

The second time I also took the initiative to mention "Xiaodong".

Tang Suoyan didn't answer his words very much, nor promised his meal, and the two of them haven't made an appointment yet.

After having dinner with Tao Xiaodong this time, the atmosphere between the two of them seemed to be a little more entangled for no reason. Not crisp, not easy, always sounds a little different from other people when speaking.

Tao Xiaodong was able to sit for a while after delivering the meal at noon, but he couldn't sit for a few minutes and was still struggling to leave.

Tang Suoyan asked him why he was so anxious.

Tao Xiaodong laughed furiously: "I'm just here to deliver food, and I didn't want to use the pretext of delivering food to chat with you. If you want to chat with me, you have to make an appointment with me alone."

Tang Suoyan then smiled: "Why are you so thoughtful?"

"Shouldn't I stop talking? It's enough when I'm all focused on one person." Tao Xiaodong opened the door with a lunch box in his hand, then turned around and said, "I'll come back tomorrow."

Tao Huainan had heard of him rushing to the hospital like this.

In the evening, Tao Xiaodong came back from the shop quite late, while Tao Huainan was still awake, sitting on the sofa listening to music. Tao Xiaodong opened the door and came in, Tao Huainan called "Brother".

"Not asleep yet?" Tao Xiaodong looked at the thin pajamas he was still wearing, and asked him, "Is it cold?"

"It's not cold." Tao Huainan moved to his brother's side and grabbed his hand. Tao Xiaodong avoided it, saying that his hands were dirty, so Tao Huainan grabbed his wrist and walked along with him.

Tao Xiaodong glanced at him, thinking he was short: "I was almost 1.8 meters when I was your age."

"That's not much difference?" Tao Huainan now almost reached his brother's chin, "I think this is enough, and if you are taller, you will not be able to play with me."

"You are so old, who still plays with you, and treats you as a child? I carry you and hug you every day?" Tao Xiaodong touched his ear after washing his hands, "Where is Brother Bitter?"

"Brother Ku is listening to English." Tao Huainan stood at the bathroom door of his brother's room, listening to his brother take a bath. Ask later: "Did you have dinner with Dr. Tang this week?"

"Eat." Tao Xiaodong asked him after finishing speaking, "Do you really like Dr. Tang?"

"I like it, you two should be together quickly." Tao Huainan said with a smile, "Can you handle it? How long has it been?"

Tao Xiaodong was a little stunned, and he was taken aback by his words: "What do you think about every day?"

"It's a lot of thinking." Tao Huainan knocked on the door of the bathroom with his finger, which looked quite beautiful.

In Tao Xiaodong's heart, Tao Huainan is just a child, with a lot of thoughts, but they are all children's thoughts. It's really surprising that such a sentence came out of nowhere. After being surprised, I thought about it again, yes, when he was this age, he had changed several girlfriends.

When Tang Suoyan asked about Tao Huainan, Tao Xiaodong told him about it.

He leaned his arms on his face to watch Tang Suoyan eat, and said Tao Huainan's words with a smile.

Tang Suoyan paused, looked up at him, and then asked, "Yes, Xiao Nan has already asked you, can you handle it?"

"Yes, yes." Tao Xiaodong nodded twice, "I'm working hard."

"Then work hard," Tang Suoyan smiled and continued to eat, with soft arcs at the end of his eyes, "President Tao."

Tang Suoyan ate slowly, he ate bite by bite, and Tao Xiaodong watched slowly.

It was Friday, and Tao Xiaodong asked him, "Will you work overtime tomorrow?"

"No, I just wanted to ask you out. Are you free tomorrow?" Tang Suoyan followed his words.

"Yes." Tao Xiaodong said.

"Tomorrow, I will have dinner with a few people. If you are free, come with me?" Tang Suoyan raised his head and said to him, "They are all doctors, my college classmates."

"Okay." Tao Xiaodong answered happily, "Then I will pick you up tomorrow."

Originally, Tang Suoyan thought that Tao Xiaodong had to hesitate, but he might have thought more about it. I didn't expect him to say it without thinking, a little surprised.

Tao Xiaodong knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Mr. Tao has never shown any timidity. This is an opportunity. I can't say no."

In other words, this is Tao Xiaodong's character.

Tao Xiaodong picked up people at the gate of the community on time early in the morning. When he got there, he said, "I'm here, Brother Yan. Come down after you pack up."

He arrived half an hour early. Tang Suoyan had just finished exercising and was about to take a shower. He looked at the time and said, "Why don't you come up and sit for a while."

"How about this?" Tao Xiaodong said deliberately, "I'm not too embarrassed."

"I want to take a shower, you can come up and sit and listen, if you are really embarrassed, just wait for me, soon." Tang Suoyan told him on the phone.

Tao Xiaodong wanted to answer something that was not serious, but he swallowed the words and said, "Then I'll wait for you downstairs, don't worry."

With their current relationship, Tao Xiaodong might still feel uncomfortable when he actually went up to listen to Tang Suoyan take a bath, and they are not that familiar yet. And it's pointless for him to go up and sit for a while while taking a shower, tossing about.

Meals have to be eaten at one bite, and the relationship is a little bit.

Every time Tang Suoyan dresses casually, Tao Xiaodong finds it very fresh and good-looking. Of course, it's the same for him wearing a shirt and a white coat. This man can wear everything, but his temperament is a bit different depending on what he wears.

Tao Xiaodong is well-dressed today, and he is well-groomed. After all, he has to go out to meet people.

When they arrived at the hotel, the car was handed over to the parking boy at the door, and the two of them got on the elevator. Tang Suoyan said: "These few are very close friends, so don't be too polite."

Tao Xiaodong said he knew.

When they went upstairs, the door opened and Tang Suoyan went in. The person who spoke first inside was Chen Lin, "Yo" said: "Here we come."

Tao Xiaodong also followed in. There were only three people inside for the time being, and the others hadn't arrived yet. The people inside were a little surprised to see him, not the one they expected. Tang Suoyan put Tao Xiaodong on the back like last time, led him inside, and said, "My friend, Xiaodong."

Chen Lin was extremely enthusiastic. He could crack any jokes on an adult's table, and he was not afraid to ask. He deliberately raised his tone and asked, "What friend?"

Tang Suoyan smiled: "What friend do I have to explain to you in detail?"

He turned his head to introduce to Tao Xiaodong, Tao Xiaodong smiled and nodded, Chen Lin said: "Come on, you two sit in the front seat, and the birthday star is the host."

As soon as he said "birthday star", Tao Xiaodong immediately looked at Tang Suoyan.

"It's unreasonable to hide from drinking on my birthday, and I won't go to work tomorrow." Chen Lin moved a person here, came over and sat down next to Tang Suoyan, looked past him and landed on Tao Xiaodong, and asked, "Xiaodong drink wine?"

Tao Xiaodong happily said "drink".

"Good job," Chen Lin said "Tsk", "It's a joy."

There were a total of eight people, it was a rare gathering, they were all busy people, and today was just in time for Tang Suoyan's birthday to get together.

The people in this room do look different, they all have their own aura, and a step into this room with an average education and a Ph.D. can't stop them. But Tao Xiaodong has all kinds of friends, and even more doctors.

In the past, Tangning seldom drank alcohol when they went out to eat together. After all these years, she still didn't know anyone well. That kind of coldness made people dare not even talk to him, for fear that if they talked too much, they would be disgusted.

Tao Xiaodong is different, although he doesn't know what kind of relationship these two are now, what kind of friends they are. But Tao Xiaodong has been playing around in the social arena, and he can quickly integrate himself into a circle, enthusiastic but not attentive.

Chen Lin saw that he had met his eyes, and the more he watched, the more comfortable he became.

I asked what Xiaodong did.

Tao Xiaodong said something about a craftsman.

Chen Lin filled his glass with wine and asked, "How did you two meet?"

"Don't tell him," Tang Suoyan said to Tao Xiaodong from the side, "he owes too much."

"Drink if you don't talk, drink if you don't let talk." Chen Lin has always been the most jubilant.

"I'll drink." Tao Xiaodong stopped with a smile, "I'll come."
