Everything was quiet, but the rooms in the old house were brightly lit.
Su La's problem was bound to cause him to have a sleepless night.
Lying on the bed, Xia Wan was upset. She remembered the depressed and heavy expression on her face when Tang Shaofeng came to find her, and she felt her heart ache.
After thinking about it, she decided to go and chat with Tang Shaofeng. Even if she couldn't do anything, she could still be a qualified listener.
After knocking on the door and hearing Tang Shaofeng say "Please come in", Xia Wan had barely taken a light step forward.
Seeing that the person who came was Xia Wan, Tang Shaofeng relaxed his eyebrows and relaxed a lot.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" Even though he was feeling bored, Tang Shaofeng still did not forget to take care of Xia Wan.
He felt warmth in his heart, Xia Wan sat down by the desk, his gaze following Tang Shaofeng closely, "Aren't you also awake?"
She carefully observed Tang Shaofeng's expression, afraid that he would refuse to talk about Su La, and hesitated to mention it.
"Can we be the same? You are already a mother, do you still want to stay up late? "Good girl, why don't you go to bed earlier?"
Hearing this, Xia Wan frowned, thinking that Tang Shaofeng was intentionally dodging and avoiding.
Therefore, she no longer hesitated and asked, "Are you okay?"
With a forced smile, Tang Shaofeng looked back at Xia Wan with his deep and gentle gaze, and said with a tired expression, "What's wrong with me?"
After getting up, Xia Wan walked to Tang Shaofeng with a serious face, "Tang Shaofeng, can you not be like this? I just want to worry about you. Don't push me away. "
Being hit by Xia Wan's words, Tang Shaofeng's eyelids drooped slightly, then sighed lightly, "Do you want to talk about Su La with me?"
Nodding his head, Xia Wan's eyes became clear, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Tang Shaofeng continue sighing: "I have not decided, what to do."
Understanding Tang Shaofeng's feelings, Xia Wan muttered to himself for a moment, then proposed tentatively: "How about you take the initiative to have a heart to heart talk with her, and change the location of the bell to someone else."
did not reject her suggestion, but Tang Shaofeng feebly replied: "I will."
When he turned around, he saw that Xia Wan was still worrying about him. He softly urged Xia Wan: "It's very late, go to sleep."
Helpless, Xia Wan could only get up and walk to the door, but she couldn't help but turn around. "Tang Shaofeng, she's actually very pitiful too."
She paused for a moment, her gaze pity could not bear it, and when she thought about what Xiao Hui had told her, she felt her heart ache, "Her mother said that she was depressed because of her feelings for you. Perhaps, it is precisely because she doesn't know how to retract her feelings for you that she is a little blind and extreme. So, when you're going to have a showdown with her, can you be more tactful and not provoke her? "
Stunned on the spot, Tang Shaofeng's eyes reflected her predicament for a long time.
However, when he looked into the eyes of the deep night, his gaze gradually became clear again. It seemed that he had already decided on what to do.
"Subtle? There was no need for that. I will show that I have no love for her at all, only the love of my brother for his sister, whether she accepts it or not. Xia Wan, you don't need to worry about this matter.
Hearing that Tang Shaofeng's tone did not contain the slightest bit of love, Xia Wan frowned in disagreement, "But don't you feel that it's a little cruel to do such a thing? Although she is your cousin, in reality, you are not related by blood. Are you disgusted with her feelings for you? "
With Tang Shaofeng's indifferent face and clear eyes, it was hard for Xia Wan not to make this conjecture.
In her opinion, Su La was not wrong, he was just in love with someone he shouldn't have loved.
Not expecting Xia Wan to think so much about him, Tang Shaofeng laughed bitterly and could not help but ask: "Cruel? Do you know what cruelty is? That is, I continue to love her, to spoil her, to let her continue to live in my fantasy. Xia Wan, it is not every time you face a problem, kindness is always useful. "
Unable to agree with Tang Shaofeng's logic, Xia Wan pursed her lips. Her eyes were no longer gentle, and they even carried a trace of anger.
She took a few steps forward until she was in front of Tang Shaofeng, her chest moving up and down slightly, "Tang Shaofeng, can you not always treat everything with the attitude of someone handling work? Your actions are decisive, so it doesn't matter whether you decide or not. But have you considered whether Su La has a history of depression? What if she couldn't accept it and wanted to die? Will you not regret it then? "
"Then tell me, what should I do?" and Tang Shaofeng obviously had different opinions when it came to handling of the matter with Su La.
After a moment of speechlessness, Xia Wan shifted his gaze away vexedly.
In such a complicated situation, even the calm Tang Shaofeng felt that it was a thorny problem, so how could she possibly have a constructive solution?
It was just that from a warm point of view, Tang Shaofeng's actions would easily cause Su La to overreact.
She was concerned about this matter because she wanted to solve the other party's problem, but she was ridiculed by Tang Shaofeng.
That was the reason why she left the room as if she was in a bad mood. She could not be bothered with it anymore and could only silently feel that Su La had wrongly paid the affection and was about to face an even greater blow and setback.
With different opinions, the two of them didn't understand each other and ended up in a bad situation.
Looking at Xia Wan's angry back, Tang Shaofeng shook his head and did not chase up to him to coax him.
Because he had his own opinions and decisions regarding Su La, and did not want to be shaken.
Even if Xia Wan treated him as a cruel person, even if Su La was his most beloved cousin, he still had to persevere and not show mercy. If that happened, it would only cause more pain for everyone.
After making up his mind, Tang Shaofeng walked towards the door of Su La's bedroom with steady steps.
"Cousin, you …" "I'm not asleep yet." The hesitating Su La was completely different from when he was hiding his feelings. Now that she had been punctured, there was no need for her to pretend to be careless and heartless.
This was the most genuine reaction she had when she was facing Tang Shaofeng alone.
"Let's talk." Walking into the house, Tang Shaofeng's eyes did not waver, he pretended not to notice Su La's abnormality.
Nodding his head, Su La frowned, as though he was worried about something, but also afraid of what he was going to face.
After a long period of silence, Tang Shaofeng glanced at Su La, and spoke first, "Su La, we grew up together, we really do have a good relationship with each other …"
"Cousin, don't say anymore, I don't want to hear it!" Suddenly interrupting Tang Shaofeng's conversation, Su La bit her lower lip with a face full of rejection.
As if guessing that Tang Shaofeng would straightforwardly reject her feelings, she tried to cover her tracks.
Seeing Su La's gloomy expression and eyes filled with pain, Tang Shaofeng slightly frowned, but did not obediently compromise.
"Su La, even if you don't want to hear it, the truth still exists and will not change. I only see you as a cousin, that's all. "
Hearing that, Su La laughed sadly, she looked back at Tang Shaofeng's cautious eyes, and sorrow was written all over her face: "Hehe, cousin? That's all? But I like you. I love you.
Quickly retracting his gaze, Tang Shaofeng maintained his indifferent look, but his heart felt a pinch.
He turned his back slightly and put his hand in his pants pocket, not knowing how to respond.
Seeing that, Su La clenched his teeth, and with a determined heart, he actually rushed forward and wrapped his arm around Tang Shaofeng's sturdy waist, "Cousin brother, no, little Feng ge, can you not take me as your cousin? We are not related by blood, and yet you think that I am an ordinary person who likes you?"
His body trembled, Tang Shaofeng's eyebrows knitted together.
He did not understand how Su La could have such deep feelings for him, and how it had developed to such an extent that it was hard to deal with.
He had clearly always seen her as a younger sister.
Pushing Su La aside, his tone was gentle, and there was not a hint of emotion in his eyes, only reason and determination, "Su La, no matter what kind of existence I am in your heart, you can only be a little sister to me. Furthermore, your sister-in-law and I already have children, are you still going to continue this false unrequited love affair? "
With a pained look in his eyes, Su La laughed. His eyes were filled with tears and his emotions were stirred up, "A mistake? Just because we are cousins, are you so disgusted with me and against me? Do you think I'm a complete pervert in your eyes? "
Breathing out a heavy breath, Tang Shaofeng helplessly closed his eyes.
Once he opened his eyes again, he diligently explained: "Su La, that is not what I meant. Even if I didn't consider you a relative, I still wouldn't be able to accept your feelings. Love is wishful thinking. If you don't want it, I have to give it. Su La, you aren't a child. Can you be a little more mature? "
Clenching her lips, Su La gazed up at Tang Shaofeng, the existence that no one could surpass in her heart.
Since young, she had relied on him, worshipped him, and enjoyed Tang Shaofeng's care and love.
Now that she had made a decision, Tang Shaofeng wanted to push her away. She did not accept, and even more so did not agree.
"Cousin, are you really going to do this to me? For you, I'm prepared to break off my mother-daughter relationship with my mother! In this way, I won't be her daughter, and I won't be your cousin! Cousin, please don't hate me, okay? "
"Nonsense!" Su La, you should know how much your aunt loves you! She has always treated you like her own daughter, how can you hurt her heart like this! "
Hearing this, Su La seemed to have been stabbed in the heart as he erupted without any warning.
Her eyes were red and filled with hatred, as if she viewed Xiao Qiang as her enemy.
Just like a young girl in her rebellious phase, she placed the worst of her emotions on the person who cared the most about her.
"Do I care that she loves me? Did I beg her to adopt me? If it wasn't for her! Our relationship now isn't that awkward! If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have doubted my own feelings.
Tang Shaofeng's expression was stunned, his pupils dilated slightly as a hundred mixed feelings surfaced in his heart.
He didn't think that Su La was already this paranoid.
"Enough, Su La. I have already expressed my attitude to you clearly. If you continue to persevere, and fail to live up to your aunt's painstaking effort to raise you, then we can't even be siblings! It will only be strangers! "
"Su La, people have a long life, there are many things that are more important than chasing after love, and there will be many meaningful people that they will meet. Rather than sticking with me, why don't you start again as soon as possible. "
Finished speaking, Tang Shaofeng left Su La's bedroom without looking back, leaving behind the other party who was riddled with wounds and wounds, staring stupidly at the empty door.
