When he heard the end, Xiao Siluo was surprised. Feng Beichen actually told her such a private matter. This was considered his personal privacy. After all, for so many years, all the outside world knew about Feng Beichen was this.
The president of the Feng Group has never had any reports on his family background.
Xiao Siluo looked at Feng Beichen's painful and sad expression, especially his clenched fists. Even though she was sitting across from him, she could faintly sense the pain in this man's heart. Xiao Siluo hesitated for a moment and asked.
"are you OK?"
For Feng Beichen, these are probably not sad things that he wants to mention. Xiao Siluo doesn't want Feng Beichen to stay stuck in painful memories.
But just as Xiao Siluo finished asking, Feng Beichen shook his head, raised his head, showed an almost undetectable smile at the corner of his mouth, and said.
"It's okay, I just suddenly want to talk to someone. If you don't want to listen, then I won't talk."
"No, that's not what I meant. I just don't want you to think of unhappy things."
Xiao Siluo hurriedly explained that to be honest, she was quite interested in Feng Beichen's affairs, just like an adventure, and Feng Beichen was like a mysterious treasure hiding many secrets.
After Feng Beichen heard this, the pain on his face dissipated a lot, and then he continued.
"It's been a long time, and I can't say I'm unhappy. It's just that today at Ouyang's, he tried to give me hypnotherapy, which reminded me of some things I thought I had almost forgotten. In fact, my situation was not so serious before, and not everything
I was not allowed to have contact with the opposite sex, but after my mother left, my situation became more and more out of control, so that in the end, I felt like I was about to become a monster. I was afraid of appearing in crowded places and contacting outsiders.
To close yourself off, even if you want to go out, you have to be protected by people inside and outside. Sometimes I hate myself like this."
Feng Beichen did not say specifically what happened at Ouyang Jie's place today, but it could be seen from his expression that today was probably an unpleasant treatment.
Feng Beichen said and began to rub his hands. Xiao Siluo took a look and immediately stretched out his hand to hold Feng Beichen's hand.
After several contacts with this man, Xiao Siluo also observed some details. Every time Feng Beichen was nervous, he would keep rubbing his hands, just like now.
"Beichen, please relax. Next time, I will accompany you to Dr. Ouyang. You may not have received treatment for too long, so you are so nervous. Take a deep breath."
Xiao Siluo comforted him softly and gently. She didn't know what Feng Beichen had experienced, but she could guess from the few words just now that his childhood must have been unhappy.
Xiao Siluo is a child who has felt the warmth of her family since she was a child and has been pampered by countless people. She cannot understand Feng Beichen's pain, but this does not prevent her from caring about this man.
The voices of Xiao Siluo and Feng Xiaoyu came to his ears. Feng Beichen took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.
After a long time, Feng Beichen finally came to his senses, but there was a hint of embarrassment on his face. It seemed that he had not lost his composure in front of outsiders for a long time, and he was still in front of a woman he had only met a few times.
Seeing the embarrassment on Feng Beichen's face, Xiao Siluo smiled slightly and said in relief.
"Don't worry, sincerity is the most important thing between friends. If you always have to wear a mask and show off to others, how tiring it would be."
Hearing this, Feng Beichen's eyes flashed, and he looked at Xiao Siluo with dark and burning eyes. After a long silence, he spoke.
"Friends? So, we are friends now, right?"
Feng Beichen asked excitedly, Xiao Siluo frowned slightly and asked in reply.
"Aren't we? Or is our relationship not up to your standards for friends?"
Xiao Siluo's definition of a friend is very simple, just treat each other sincerely, so a long time ago, she classified Feng Beichen as a friend.
When Feng Beichen heard this, he nodded repeatedly.
"Of course, Silo, thank you."
"What's there to thank you for? Thank me for being your friend, or thank me for being here to listen to you and talk about your affairs. Feng Beichen, don't thank you so much among friends. I'm sorry, just be polite."
Xiao Siluo said cheerfully, Feng Beichen's mood improved a lot after this back and forth.
Dinner was finished, and Feng Beichen was busy cleaning up the kitchen again, washing dishes and pots. Originally, Xiao Siluo wanted to politely ask him to leave it alone, but before he opened his mouth, Feng Beichen had already spoken.
"Si Luo, I am a person who starts well and ends well."
Well, having said that, Xiao Siluo couldn't bear to see her kitchen in a mess and having free labor. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, seeing that Feng Beichen was cleaning up quickly, she stopped talking.
"Coffee?"
While Feng Beichen was cleaning up, Xiao Siluo sat at the bar, looked at the coffee machine next to him and asked.
"Thank you, no sugar or milk."
Feng Beichen said, and then Xiao Siluo made two cups of coffee, one with nothing added, and one with two sugars and two spoons of milk.
"your."
The coffee was brewed, and Feng Beichen also happened to clean up the kitchen. Looking at the strong coffee, Feng Beichen was about to pick it up, but Xiao Siluo took a candy and threw it into the coffee in front of Feng Beichen, and then said
Finished sentence.
"It's late at night, don't drink such bitter coffee, try the one I brewed specially for you."
As he said this, Xiao Siluo was afraid that the candy would not melt, so he picked up the spoon on the side and stirred it before pushing the cup of coffee in front of Feng Beichen.
Feng Beichen hesitated for a moment. He always drank coffee without adding anything, but seeing the expectant expression on Xiao Siluo's face, he thought that he had already made many exceptions in front of this woman, so he picked up the cup.
coffee.
After taking a sip, the taste seemed less sour than the pure coffee he drank before.
"How's it going? It's not as bad as you thought! As I said, sugar is a good thing. When you are in a bad mood, eating something sweet will make you feel much better immediately."
Feng Beichen didn't speak, but responded to Xiao Siluo with practical actions. He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
At this time, Feng Beichen suddenly noticed an oil painting of people on the background wall of the living room, which looked like a family portrait. There were four people, two men and two women. One of the women was somewhat similar to Xiao Siluo, but she was just the girl in the oil painting.
He looks younger.
"Is that your family?"
Feng Beichen asked, pointing to the oil painting. He knew that many people now don't like to take family photos, but prefer to use oil paintings to show the warmth of the family.
Xiao Siluo nodded and said.
"Well, this was drawn by my mom. It should have been drawn when I graduated from high school. That was my brother, who is three years older than me."
Feng Beichen stared at the painting intently, because the smiles on everyone's faces attracted him. In his memory, it seemed that his so-called family members had never seen such smiles on their faces.
Feng Beichen was a little envious. Let alone this oil painting, just from his several contacts with Xiao Siluo, Feng Beichen could feel that Xiao Siluo must live in a loving family.
"The relationship between your family is so good. Your parents must love each other very much."
In the oil painting, Xiao Yingxi's head is nestled on Mas Nian's shoulder, and Mas Nian's eyes also fall gently on Xiao Yingxi's body.
At this time, Xiao Siluo had not yet felt the sadness in Feng Beichen's heart, so he nodded and said.
"Well, my dad and mommy grew up together. They have a really good relationship. Even now, my dad still dotes on my mommy like a child. Sometimes my daughter is a little jealous.
"
When talking about his home, Xiao Siluo's face was full of happiness and sweetness.
Suddenly, Xiao Siluo realized something and turned to look at Feng Beichen. Seeing him looking at the oil painting with a dark expression, his brows immediately knitted together.
"Sorry, I said a little too much."
When Xiao Siluo said this, Feng Beichen immediately withdrew his eyes, then looked at Xiao Siluo and smiled slightly.
"Who just said that friends don't need to say thank you, sorry, etc., Silo, I can't just let my own family be unhappy and not be able to see the warmth of other people's families, right? To be honest, the warmth emanating from this oil painting is me
I’ve always longed for it, and I’m envious of it.”
Well, Xiao Siluo once again didn't know how to comfort him, because in front of a person who has experienced pain, no amount of words of comfort are so powerless.
"Okay, I asked this on my own initiative. Don't think there's anything wrong with it. To be honest, after meeting you, I feel like my life has become a lot more exciting, so I feel very relaxed when I'm with you, really.
"
"Then if you come to me when you are in a bad mood from now on, if I can make you happy, it means that I am a good friend."
"Very competent. Okay, it's getting late. It's time for me to go back. You should rest early."
Although Feng Beichen still wanted to stay here for a while, it was almost nine o'clock, and being alone had a bad influence on girls.
Xiao Siluo didn't use any courtesy to persuade him to stay. He was about to stand up to see him off when he was stopped by Feng Beichen.
"Your leg is still injured, please take care of yourself. Can I still come to your place to see you in the future?"
"Of course, it's thanks to you today, otherwise I would have to eat those takeaways that don't taste good. Oh, by the way, when will you go to Dr. Ouyang next time? Anyway, my recent work has been postponed. I will accompany you.
You together."
"Friday, is it convenient for you?"
Feng Beichen asked, Xiao Siluo thought for a moment and nodded.
"It's convenient. That's settled. But I have to trouble you to come pick me up."
Xiao Siluo pointed to his leg holding the gauze. Feng Beichen was of course very happy and said directly.
"Then it's settled. We'll be in touch on the phone then. I'll go back first. Good night."
After saying that, Feng Beichen reluctantly walked to the door.
After sending Feng Beichen away, Xiao Siluo lay on the sofa with her legs crossed. On the coffee table was the fruit plate that Feng Beichen had just cut for her.
