Continuation: Honesty
Lan Zhixin did not immediately refute Tong Fei's decision. Thinking about it carefully, Tong Fei said something. The most important thing about getting married is not appearance and money, but whether you and the other party are likely to be together. Like Du Cheng, you have a fiancée. It is too difficult to turn the situation around, but Chen Yao is different. He is single and good to Tong Fei, mature and steady. Just about these, you can really consider it.
"But... Tong Fei, are you willing to do this? Actually, I think Du Cheng might be interested in you?" Lan Zhixin was a little anxious.
When Tong Fei heard this, she trembled slightly, a light flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled bitterly: "Sister Lan, how could he be interested in me? If you were a man, would you like Fang Kailin or me? Tell the truth."
Lan Zhixin was stunned and thought for a moment: "Well... Although I have never met Fang Kailin, after hearing your description, it is true that if I were a man, of course I would be interested in a woman like Fang Kailin, but there are exceptions in everything. Aren't you and Du Cheng good before? Hanhan and I thought you had a chance..."
"That's right, most people are visual animals. Who would like to face me like a fat man all day long? Fang Kailin is a beautiful woman, and she looks pleasing to the eye. What should I compare with people? She and Du Cheng stand together are handsome men and women. I stand together with Du Cheng, like a flower in that, and he is a flower... He used to be my best friend, but now he has a fiancée, I have to keep a distance from him. This is the minimum morality and principle. I can't be foolish just because I am pregnant. He has his life, I have my life, and I don't disturb each other, and silent blessings are enough."
"Then Chen Yao, isn't he an exception? He likes you and doesn't dislike you for being fat. Why can't there be other men who like you too?" Lan Zhixin was still wronged for Tong Fei and tried to give her some motivation.
But Tong Fei's mentality is very different from before. Her fantasy and persistence about love have been wiped out. She once dreamed that getting married must be in love with each other, but now she feels that it is really a luxury, like a scenery hanging high in the clouds, you can only look up to it, but you can't have it. It's better not to dream anymore and face the reality.
Tong Fei held Lan Zhixin's hand, and there was a hint of desolation in the smile on the corner of her mouth. This was a kind of compromise and concession to reality after a violent struggle.
"Sister Lan, I know you are doing it for my own good, but a woman marrys her husband. In fact, as long as the other person is a reliable person, he will be nice to me. As for feelings, there is no one now. You can slowly cultivate them in the future. Maybe over time, you will become a habit and have feelings..."
Lan Zhixin was speechless for a moment. Even if she was eloquent, she could not find a suitable word at this moment. Feelings and marriages are all major events and private matters. No matter how much a good friend comforted her, the only one who made the decision in the end was the parties involved.
"Hey... Since you said that, I can only bless you. I hope that Chen Yao will not disappoint us. However, if he minds the child in your stomach, don't be discouraged. Take care of the baby and give birth to the child. We can find a father for the child in the future. If it is difficult to find an unmarried man, at worst, we can find a man who has divorced and children. Wouldn't the two sides be even? In short, Tong Fei, you have to believe that there will always be a man in this world who knows how to love you and cherish you." Lan Zhixin gave a consolation, and finally did not forget to cheer Tong Fei up, just because she was afraid that she would really lose confidence in love.
Tong Fei's heart was originally very heavy, but after Lan Zhixin said this, she felt a little relieved. Suddenly, she felt that the future might not be as dark as she imagined... She has family, best friends, and unborn children in her belly. No matter what, she must cheer up and grit her teeth to overcome this hurdle.
"Okay, Tong Fei, I won't eat dinner. Don't you have something to say to Chen Yao? If I'm here, it's inconvenient... I'll withdraw first. You can call me anytime if you have anything. Don't be alone, do you know?" Lan Zhixin said gently, really with the style of an older sister.
Tong Fei had to go from a tomboy to a little sister in front of her, holding Lan Zhixin's arm intimately and sending her to the door. She couldn't help but say a few more words of gratitude, which made Lan Zhixin glar angrily...
After seeing Lan Zhixin off, Tong Fei's mood was much more relaxed than when she first returned home. Finally, she didn't have to keep the secret alone. There was someone to complain. Listening to her nagging, it was always better to feel this way than to hold it in.
In the kitchen, Chen Yao was wearing an apron and was busy getting the dishes out of the pot, but he didn't pay attention to the fat figure behind him for a long time.
The man's back is not as tall as Du Cheng, his hairstyle is not as good as Du Cheng's, and his figure is a bit fat, but somehow, Tong Fei was fascinated by the sight... Perhaps it was because Chen Yao's busy working in an apron that gave the kitchen a vitality, warmth, and faint warmth.
The man in her heart didn't know what he was doing now, maybe he was with his fiancée, and the man in front of her could see and touch, and was cooking for her. The man in her heart seemed to be far away, and the man in front of her was so close that she could grasp whether it was body or mind... The gap between the two men in many conditions became blurred at this moment, and only a ray of the most real warmth was flowing.
"Chen Yao..." Tong Fei called out softly and walked slowly over.
When Chen Yao heard the sound, he did not look back immediately. He was busy, but just smiled and said, "Are you hungry? You can have dinner soon, for one minute!"
Tong Fei looked at the dishes on the plate and the man's busy figure and honest expression. Some things that could not be let go seemed to have become lighter... In fact, it is her blessing to have a man treat him so carefully and considerately. It is not okay to always think about things that are out of reach. Wouldn't it be better to be pragmatic?
Three dishes and one soup, simple home-cooked dishes, one of which was fried by Lan Zhixin. Chen Yao's skills are also quite good. The dishes made of them look very appetizing, especially the dishes tonight are light, which is specially selected by Lan Zhixin for the ingredients suitable for Tong Fei to eat now, so Tong Fei rarely has a little appetite after suffering for a few days.
Chen Yao was wondering why Lan Zhixin left without eating, and she didn't taste the dishes she cooked. Tong Fei smiled but didn't say anything, but just picked up the dishes into Chen Yao's bowl and then buried her head in eating.
Chen Yao looked happy. He didn't expect Tong Fei would take the initiative to pick up food for him. He didn't have such treatment before. Tong Fei feasted on dinner several times and ate very generously. He usually did what he did when he picked up food.
Chen Yao held up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, put a bowl of soup for Tong Fei, and said softly: "You should eat more, it is best if we both can finish the dishes on the table today, otherwise it will be a waste."
Tong Fei was slightly moved. Chen Yao’s job was very good, and he was the company’s management. He had a high income and was really rare to be able to be frugal.
Chen Yao might have thought of something, and evoked some kind of memory, holding a spoon in his hand but showed a look of remembrance: "When I was as old as you, I didn't have three dishes and one soup. I could only eat boxed lunches every day, and it was difficult to eat three dishes and one soup like this all year round, so I personally oppose waste, but it is not very important. If I really can't finish it, put it in the refrigerator, and you can still eat midnight snacks at night."
"Oh? Are you very poor before?" Tong Fei subconsciously said it with a vegetable in her mouth, then waved her hand embarrassedly: "I don't mean to discriminate against you, don't get me wrong."
"It's okay, I know, you're right. I used to be really poor, just like you are in your twenties now. I still work in this city. I live in the basement. I live a day and it's a day without a day..." Chen Yao's expression was calm and his tone was as light as the wind, but the bitterness contained in it was moving.
Tong Fei couldn't help but feel stunned. If it weren't for Chen Yao's personal words, he wouldn't have thought that Chen Yao, who now has an enviable good job and a high salary, had such a difficult past. From this point of view, he has experienced an unknown process and is not easy to get it. No wonder he always feels kind of kindness and kindness in him. Perhaps it is because his own background is very ordinary that he can get along so easily.
"Chen Yao...the food you cook is delicious."
"If you like it, I can cook it for you every day." Chen Yao was not vague and took the conversation without hesitation.
Tong Fei paused with chopsticks, swallowed the dish in her mouth, and a complicated light appeared in her round eyes... Since she had said this, she should just be a little bit more.
Tong Fei put down her chopsticks and looked at Chen Yao calmly, with a slightly solemn expression, which made Chen Yao a little surprised. In his impression, it was rare to see Tong Fei as serious.
"Chen Yao, I have something to tell you."
Chen Yao nodded, with a faint joy in his eyes. He hoped that Tong Fei could say what he had been looking forward to for a long time.
Tong Fei's sincerity was written on her round face, and her tone became softer involuntarily: "Chen Yao, I won't beat around the bush. To be honest, I remember your kindness to me in my heart. I know you really hope I can agree to your pursuit, but now what I want to say is a crucial thing... I am pregnant and it has been almost two months, but the father of the child doesn't know that he and I will not become husband and wife, and I decided to give birth to this child and raise it myself. This is my current situation. I told you all, will you still want to chase me?"
