Shen Xiaoxiao agreed with what he said, "Dr. Zheng, you are right."
She laughed self-deprecatingly, "When I first got into the accident, I thought he would come to see me immediately and comfort me. But I waited from sunrise to sunset, until dark, but I didn't receive a single message from him. I feel like I’m so stupid, I treat myself too much! I’m so pretentious.”
"Do you hate him?" Zheng Chuyang asked curiously while eating the cooked meat.
Shen Xiaoxiao put a piece of green vegetables on the plate, dipped it lightly in the sesame sauce, and smiled bitterly, "Hate! I hated him so much at that time! He and I were just about to break through the window paper, and everyone knew it. , it’s no different from a couple. When he saw me being a disaster, he just broke up with me. Anyone would be very angry if this happened to him, right?"
She paused for a moment, as if reminiscing, and then continued: "Later, during my decadent days, I locked myself in my room all day long without seeing anyone, and just thought about these things. It was better not to think about it, and the more I thought about it, The more angry I get, the more I feel like he is a big scumbag!"
Zheng Chuyang smiled, "I thought you had figured it out by locking yourself in the room."
"I figured it out after Dr. Zhang came." Shen Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After psychological counseling, I also figured it out. Why do people have to guard you, a person who can't stand up? A disaster is imminent. At that time, the husband and wife were still living separately, not to mention, he and I had no relationship at all, and there was nothing wrong with him cutting off contact with me."
"He contacted you because he was afraid, but he wanted to give you hope."
"Haha." Shen Xiaoxiao sneered, "Do you think I would have had any hope in that situation? He wanted to get rid of me, so why didn't I want to stay away from him?"
In fact, she has not gotten over this obstacle yet. Now when she talks about it, she is not only angry, but also sad, and her eyes are red.
"Hey, this hot pot is too spicy. It's really Chongqing." Shen Xiaoxiao picked up a tissue to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, and took another sip of sour plum juice.
Zheng Chuyang said: "Can you get used to it? Otherwise, let's eat at another restaurant."
Shen Xiaoxiao burst into laughter, "No, it's so exciting. I've ordered so many things to eat, I have to finish them all."
At another table in the distance, Shan Chenghao looked at the crowded lobby and said impatiently: "Why are there so many people in his house?"
Shan Sinuan said: "It's delicious."
"Eat quickly. You can leave easily after eating. The crowd makes me upset." Shan Chenghao said in a displeased tone.
Shan Sinuan took a piece of meat and put it into the hot pot to cook. She glanced at her brother and exposed him mercilessly: "Brother, I think you are upset because you saw Sister Xiaoxiao and felt guilty. .”
"What do I think she is guilty of?" Shan Chenghao glared at his sister, "Eat quickly, I won't be able to gag you even if you eat."
Shan Sinuan chewed the meat and said, "I'm not wrong. Don't you feel any guilt when you see Sister Xiaoxiao? After all, she is also someone you have liked!"
Shan Chenghao was stunned. Xiaoxiao's face just now flashed through his mind. She turned a blind eye to him and wondered if she was still angry with him. Those legs, after so long, still hadn't stood up.
"Why should I feel guilty? I didn't do anything sorry for her. When something happened to her, I stopped looking for her because I didn't want to cause any trouble in the future."
"Trouble? Are you afraid that Sister Xiaoxiao will get involved with you?" Shan Sinuan looked at her brother with contempt, "You are really capable."
Shan Chenghao's face darkened, "You don't need to dictate my affairs."
Seeing her brother's indifference, Shan Sinuan sighed, "I really don't know whether I should say you are sensible or cold. Do you think I am willing to talk about you? Sister Xiaoxiao didn't even look at you just now. That means you are cold." People have given up on you!"
"If there's someone around her already, she should have given up on me long ago." After Shan Chenghao finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Shen Xiaoxiao.
Shan Sinuan didn't notice her brother's little move, she curled her lips and lowered her head to eat.
Zheng Chuyang and Shen Xiaoxiao were sweating profusely as they ate. The more they ate, the spicier they became. By the end of the meal, their mouths and tongues were numb.
"It's delicious, but it's too spicy. Anyone who can tolerate spicy food can do it." Zheng Chuyang said as he waved to the waiter to pay the bill.
After that, he walked behind Shen Xiaoxiao, helped her put on her coat, and pushed the wheelchair out.
Shan Sinuan didn't eat well because her brother kept urging her. She ate in a hurry and came out. She happened to be walking behind Shen Xiaoxiao and the others, not too far or too close.
"Brother, do you think Sister Xiaoxiao's legs can still stand up?" she asked sympathetically.
Shan Chenghao looked at it, pondered for a moment and said, "Didn't she just say that she is doing rehabilitation training and can stand up?"
"Brother, do you still like Sister Xiaoxiao now?"
Shan Chenghao raised his hand and knocked her on the head, "You have too many things to do. It's impossible for me and her to be together."
Shan Sinuan covered her head, said "cut", rolled her eyes at him, and said nothing more.
After coming out of the store, Zheng Chuyang asked: "Do you want some milk tea?"
"No, I drank too much plum juice just now, and now my stomach is so bloated." Shen Xiaoxiao said, "Let's go back."
Zheng Chuyang nodded, took the elevator and went downstairs.
On the way back, Shen Xiaoxiao was obviously not as active as when he came here, and seemed a little preoccupied.
Zheng Chuyang didn't ask too much and just drove towards her house silently.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked out of the car window, thinking of her chance encounter with the Shan brothers and sisters at the hot pot restaurant. Although she didn't look directly at Shan Chenghao, she still saw his face from the corner of her eye - the face that she had longed for. He has not changed, he is still so handsome, she can only see it faintly from the corner of her eyes, and her heart will still tighten involuntarily. But she knows that the throbbing in her heart is just a physiological manifestation, and it does not mean that she still has any desire for him. She would no longer have any illusions about him, nor would she be stupid enough to think that he felt guilty about her. To her, he was just someone she knew.
"I will pick you up the day after tomorrow and we will go to the rehabilitation center together." Zheng Chuyang drove the car home and pushed her into the house and said.
Shen Xiaoxiao said: "No need to trouble you, Dr. Zheng, my father can send me away."
"Don't bother your dad. It's quite a long way to the rehabilitation center. My uncle has just recovered from a serious illness, so it's better to recuperate at home. I'm also on the way, so it's not troublesome at all."
To be honest, Shen Xiaoxiao actually didn't want to watch her father, who happened to be ill, drive her away. She said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you then."
"Don't be polite to me. You are Meiya's friend. Of course I have to take more care of you." After Zheng Chuyang finished speaking, he told her: "Don't do training at home, you know? Stay in a good mood."
"Well, okay. See you the day after tomorrow." Shen Xiaoxiao responded obediently.
