MTL - Wildfire-Chapter 20
Now that the figure was mentioned, Tao Xiaodong had to go crazy, patted his legs: "Long legs?"
"Long." Tang Suoyan answered very happily, after all, he had a clear view that day, and he could clearly see the proportions of people's figures. Usually Tao Xiaodong always dresses poorly, overalls, casual pants, and sports pants, without showing his legs.
Tao Xiaodong glanced to the side, his eyes followed Tang Suoyan's legs. In fact, he knew Tang Suoyan's legs without looking at them. Tang Suoyan didn't wear slacks, so it was too obvious what his legs looked like.
Seeing his eyes, Tang Suoyan deliberately took a step back and asked, "What are you doing?"
Tao Xiaodong smiled and shook his head: "Look."
The two of them hadn't chatted very seriously during this short period of time, and they also intentionally resolved the embarrassment, and they both put up and said they were joking with each other, so it wasn't embarrassing anymore.
Let’s talk about the serious ones after the unserious ones. I’ve been talking about Tao Xiaodong before, but now Tao Xiaodong called “Brother Yan”, Tang Suoyan looked over, and Tao Xiaodong asked, “You and Dr. Tang…are separated? "
Tang Suoyan probably didn't expect him to ask in this direction, and was a little surprised.
"Don't talk if you don't want to," Tao Xiaodong put his hand on the railing, "Anyway, I'm just chatting."
Tang Suoyan thought for a while, then nodded, and replied "Yes".
Tao Xiaodong also nodded: "I see."
In fact, Tao Xiaodong had already seen it. He didn't believe Xia Yuan when he said this at first, but last time he sent Tang Suoyan back to meet Tangning, Tao Xiaodong knew at a glance that the two were probably for real. Later, before going up, Tangning said "the house is in chaos". If she hadn't lived there for a long time, she wouldn't have blurted out "home" so naturally and habitually. Tao Xiaodong is such a sociable person, he can almost understand what's going on with a glance.
According to Tao Xiaodong's personality, he would never mention Tangning at all, and he would not bring it in a direction that people would not want to mention. However, for some unknown reason today, Tao Xiaodong actually asked another question.
"May I ask why?"
Tang Suoyan never talked about Tangning with others. He didn't like to talk about personal matters about his relationship with others. Today Tao Xiaodong asked such a question, it was more or less rash, Tao Xiaodong has always been a comfortable person, this question is not like him.
However, Tang Suoyan did not refuse to talk about this, probably because he was already very familiar with Tao Xiaodong. Like Tao Xiaodong, he put his arms on the railing, looked downstairs, and said slowly: "There are many reasons. I may not be a very good lover emotionally."
"You don't look like it." Tao Xiaodong said directly, and then looked over: "Doctor Tang feels tired?"
"It's nothing different. I told you that there should be a big gap between me and what you think I am."
A little brother who delivered food came downstairs, his electric car was parked downstairs, and he was walking with a paper bag while talking on the phone. Tao Xiaodong didn't ask Tang Suoyan about his resemblance, and said after a while: "It's a pity, you two are a good match."
"That's what you say." Tang Suoyan smiled self-deprecatingly, with his hands folded, and there was a very small mole on the exposed wrist.
Tao Xiaodong saw that mole on him, it was so small that it looked like a small mark that the tip of a pen hadn't noticed. It was only because it was on the edge of the white cuff that it stood out.
"From the beginning when we were together, the word I heard the most was 'good match', and I thought it was a good match at that time." Tang Suoyan smiled very lightly, but the slight smile did not reach his eyes , "Actually, what kind of matching are you talking about? It's all conditional matching."
Tao Xiaodong retorted: "That's not it."
"Isn't it?" Tang Suoyan looked at him, "Then tell me."
Tao Xiaodong said a lot, too much, Tang Suoyan and Tangning, they were the same kind of people. It has a pattern and a temperament. It's nothing to say that they are all doctors. Other than that, they are all of the same kind.
After he finished speaking, Tang Suoyan smiled again, raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this a condition? What about merging similar items?"
Tao Xiaodong was choked back by him, and couldn't find anything to say for a while.
The little brother who was delivering food just now came back running, got on his car and left again. Tang Suoyan was still looking at that place, and said, "We are all too cold. We have flaws in our personality, which may come from the so-called 'good match'. We are all the same kind of people, with a little pride in our bones and a temper .When I was young, I had the heat of love, and I didn’t feel anything. When the heat is gone, I feel cold.”
Tao Xiaodong was an outsider after all, he had never participated in that relationship, he hadn't even seen it with his own eyes, so he didn't have any right to speak at this time.
Tang Suoyan and Tangning have been together for more than ten years, from the youngest and most dazzling time together, to their thirties now. Although it was still the best time for a man, compared to the past ten years, he still lost a lot of energy.
In any case, this is a pity. No relationship of more than ten years will take away only the relationship itself, and it will take away many, many at the same time. Tao Xiaodong said, "Actually, you should talk about it. I don't think so."
Tang Suoyan shook his head: "Draw a circle."
No matter how you talk about it, if you repeat the process that has been repeated in the past few years, you are drawing a circle. Besides, Tangning didn't want to talk about it either.
It's rare for Tang Suoyan to say so much. It may be that the atmosphere today is really suitable for chatting, or Tao Xiaodong is a very down-to-earth person. Tao Xiaodong also talked about Xia Yuan's pursuit of Tang Ning back then, and said with a smile, "Actually, I've known Dr. Tang for a long time. When I was in school, a friend of mine wanted to chase Dr. Tang, but you chased him away before you even started. "
Tang Suoyan was quite surprised, smiled, and said, "I'm sorry."
We've talked to this point, so let's go on. Tang Suoyan talked about things when they were young, not just about their relationship, but also about what happened in these years that they remember more deeply. Tao Xiaodong listened to him very carefully.
Whether a person has feelings or not can be detected from the voice and eyes.
After listening to Tao Xiaodong, he said: "We have lived together for more than ten years, and the traces are too heavy, isn't it uncomfortable?"
Tang Suoyan didn't deny it either: "It would be too fake for me to say no."
It was already dark, and the lights in the building were lit, and the moon was high and bright above our heads. Tao Xiaodong hooked the corners of his lips, turned his head to look ahead, and asked, "What do you want to look for next time?"
Tang Suoyan also looked ahead, neither of them looked at the other, Tang Suoyan pondered for a moment, and said frankly: "I haven't thought about this yet."
"Do you still miss Dr. Tang?" Tao Xiaodong asked with a smile.
Tang Suoyan shook his head slowly, with his arms resting on the railing like this, his upper body leaning forward slightly, the lines of his mandible and side face were particularly obvious and tough under the light. He only said: "I just ended a long relationship, and I don't have the space to think too much for now."
Tao Xiaodong nodded, and Tang Suoyan asked him: "Have you ever had this kind of emotional experience."
"No." Tao Xiaodong stood up straight, and said with a smile, "There are a lot of stories, all of which are short, and nothing that stands out. I've been busy for the rest of my life, and I don't like the bad ones, but I'm afraid people will look down on me if they are good .”
Tang Suoyan laughed: "I don't like you? How much more do you want to find?"
This is the end of the day, and we chatted for three hours without knowing it.
The two went back together and said goodnight to each other. When Tao Xiaodong opened the door and entered, Tao Huainan sat cross-legged on his bed and talked to Chi Cheng on the phone.
Hearing the door knock, he called out, "Brother?"
"Well," Tao Xiaodong responded, "Let's talk about you, I'll take a shower."
"Okay." Tao Huainan said to the phone, "Brother is back."
Tao Xiaodong took a shower for a while, and when he came out, Tao Huainan had already lay down and finished talking on the phone. Eyes open, blinking.
Tao Xiaodong went over and flicked his forehead: "Why are you blinking here if you don't sleep?"
Tao Huainan grinned, "Brother, did you go to Dr. Tang's room just now?"
"No," Tao Xiaodong said "tsk", "what am I doing in my room?"
"Then what did you guys do?" Tao Huainan was curious, "Walk for several hours."
Tao Xiaodong sat back on his bed, brushing his hair wildly with a towel: "Just chat in the corridor for a while."
Tao Huainan said "Wow", "What are you talking about?"
Tao Xiaodong paused, and said, "Let's talk about Dr. Tang and his boyfriend."
Tao Huainan's eyes widened, he couldn't see and he was surprised and stared: "Boyfriend? Doctor Tang has a boyfriend?"
"We separated." Tao Xiaodong laughed, "Why are you so surprised?"
"Scared me..." Tao Huainan breathed out, and asked his brother, "Can you stop panting so much?"
"Understood." Tao Xiaodong still smiled, leaned over and touched his head, "Don't think about it, go to sleep."
"Yes." Tao Huainan nodded, and lay down again.
In the next two days, Tang Suoyan was going to give lectures and guidance, leaving early and returning late, so they didn't see each other very much.
On the return flight, the three of them still sat together, and Tang Suoyan and Tao Xiaodong chatted as usual.
It's different when I go back. Tao Xiaodong is very busy when I go back, let alone Tang Suoyan. They probably won't see each other for a long time.
The chat that night was a tacit exploration and infiltration between adults. Many things don't need to be said too clearly. You and I understand each other. This is the decency of an adult, the chat is very good, and no one is embarrassed or embarrassed after the chat.
Same as last time, Rhubarb came to pick him up, and sent Tang Suoyan back by the way.
Last time Tang Suoyan didn't want Tao Xiaodong to see him off, but Tao Xiaodong said no, so Tang Suoyan got into the car.
This time Tang Suoyan got into the car naturally, but Tao Xiaodong said, "We have to go around a long way to get you off."
"What's the matter? I'll go down again?" Tang Suoyan sat firmly on the co-pilot, buckled his seat belt, "Let's make a detour."
The relationship became quite obvious, Huang Yida said with a smile: "Listen to his nonsense, just turn a corner."
After Da Huang finished speaking, he looked in the rearview mirror, and said "Yo", "Why is Xiao Nan's face knocked?"
"It's not just the face." Tao Huainan touched his arms and legs, "I fell several times."
"You can really sue." Tao Xiaodong sighed, "If you don't come back again, your resentment will be too much to contain."
Tao Huainan "hummed" twice, without denying it.
No one slept in the car this time, but there wasn't much chatting. Tao Xiaodong and Tang Suoyan had talked enough these days.
Tang Suoyan arrived at the community, the car stopped at the door, Tao Xiaodong got out of the car to help him get things, Tang Suoyan said: "I won't keep you, go back and rest quickly."
Tao Xiaodong said: "You should also take a good rest, you have to go to work tomorrow, right?"
"Well, I have to work overtime for a while."
"Anyway, you pay attention to rest. Do you still have the medicine I gave you last time? Call me if you don't have any." Tao Xiaodong told him.
Tang Suoyan nodded.
The two said goodbye, one turned around, and the other got into the car.
It seems serious is a very good friend.
When they got home, the Chicheng noodles were all cooked. Tao Huainan loves to eat noodles. Chicheng has cultivated all kinds of noodles for so many years, and the boiled noodles are delicious.
As soon as the door opened, Tao Huainan smiled and shouted, "Brother Ku!"
"What are you shouting for?" Chi Cheng was right by the door, took the thermos in his hand, and frowned, "What's wrong with your face?"
"I called you the other day and told you about the fall." Tao Huainan changed his shoes and moved over there, "Am I black?"
Chi Cheng said, "Catch up to me soon."
"Impossible." Tao Huainan touched his face, "Who can make you black."
"It sounds like you've seen it before." Chi Cheng took the things in Tao Xiaodong's hand and said, "Wash your hands and eat."
After putting away his things, Chi Cheng dragged Tao Huainan to wash his hands and face, and asked him while washing his hands, "Where did it break?"
Tao Huainan shook his head, he hadn't wiped off the water after washing his face, this time shaking his head, the water was everywhere, Chi Cheng made a "tsk", Tao Huainan said, "It's gone."
Chi Cheng frowned and asked him, "Do you want me to follow you next time?"
Tao Huainan stopped talking, just "hehe" happily.
Before Tao Huainan went out this time, he was full of thoughts every day, silent and melancholy. After going out to the wind and sun for a while, I became cheerful when I came back, and I started to be happy every day again.
Tao Xiaodong said that he is like a flower that lacks the sun, and if he is exposed to the sun and suffers a little crime, all problems will be cured.
Tao Xiaodong spent a lot of money on medical aid these two times, and worked overtime after returning this time. The shopkeeper asked him, "Why is Brother Dong so hardworking all of a sudden?"
Tao Xiaodong raised his hand to cover his heart and said, "My flesh hurts after the money is spent."
After all, it's a trick, and the human design cannot be broken. The client in his hand sighed: "Your brother Dong is really good. I asked him to wipe the last half an hour of my job of more than 200,000 yuan, but he just didn't do it."
Di also passed by, and laughed with a "chi": "You still don't come here too often, and you don't even open your mouth when you come too much."
There was an old client of Tao Xiaodong's here, and they all laughed when they heard this, and Tao Xiaodong laughed too, and said: "You all have a big business, why do you care about such a small amount with me?"
"You have reached new heights," said the customer.
Huang Yida was drinking tea beside him, and said, "It's good to get used to it. At first, it was annoying, but after you watched it a lot, you would think that we Xiaodong cut it out so cutely, it's so rare, isn't it?"
The tattooist next to him laughed out loud, "Our Uncle Da and Brother Dong locked each other up."
"That's for sure. We've been strong for more than ten years. After more than ten years, most couples will start to divorce." Huang Yida said.
Mentioning the word more than ten years, Tao Xiaodong suddenly thought of the more than ten years he had chatted with Tang Suoyan that night.
More than ten years have allowed him to bring Tao Huainan from a small radish to such a big one, and have allowed him to go from having nothing to being rich and powerful now.
The young man who can make the two teenagers shine with pride has now become a mature and courageous genius doctor in their respective fields.
There are too many things that can be done in ten years.
Tao Xiaodong finished the last stroke and stopped the machine. The chair slid back a little, and he lowered his eyes and said, "It's over."
