I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

Tang Wenhao was alone in his room, staring at the quietly burning candle. As time went by, the candle flame gradually lost its initial brightness, becoming weak and swaying, as if performing a silent farewell ceremony. His eyes followed the gradually shortening wax tears.

Finally, when the last ray of light disappeared, the room was instantly swallowed by darkness. He sat quietly in the darkness. He no longer had the energy to think, so he just emptied his mind.

After a long time, Tang Wenhao stood up, walked slowly to the window, and pushed it hard. It was already evening, and the cold wind made him more awake. He looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and saw that he looked haggard, with deep fatigue and embarrassment in his eyes. He called the servant to bring hot water to wash his face, changed his clothes from the closet, tidied his appearance, and regained his elegant appearance, and walked out.

He did not forget his agreement with Tang Wenxin to take her out for dinner in the evening.

When he stepped into the orchid garden, his face was smiling as usual, "Your Highness, I'm here to pick you up."

When Tang Wenxin saw her second brother coming, she ran out quickly. After practicing the piano, she changed her clothes and took off the walking stick with bells. She was dressed very simply, looking fresh and unworldly, and was waiting for Tang Wenhao to take her out.

"Second brother has kept me waiting. If you don't come, I will go to the Bamboo Garden to find you!" Tang Wenxin deliberately frowned and pretended to be angry, but the smile could not be hidden in her bright eyes.

"Okay, okay, it's all second brother's fault. He kept my little princess waiting for a long time. Second brother was indeed dealing with some urgent matters just now. I didn't expect time to pass so quickly and I was late without paying attention. However, I have finished now and came to pick you up. Let's set off now." As he said this, he bent down, stretched out a hand, and made an exaggerated yet humorous waiter gesture.

Seeing this, Tang Wenxin burst out laughing, and the little dissatisfaction in her heart instantly disappeared. She followed Tang Wenhao out.

It was still Zuixianlou, and still the private room by the window. Tang Wenxin looked around and felt very fresh. It was no wonder that she was fresh. Zuixianlou was a newly opened restaurant. This was her first time here. She had to learn everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She would also ask a teacher to teach her to read. Her schedule was full and she rarely had the opportunity to go out and play.

Tang Wenhao knew his sister's preferences very well. He flipped through the menu and picked out Tang Wenxin's favorite dishes. After a while, the delicious dishes were served one after another. Not only were they exquisitely presented, but they were also delicious in color, aroma and taste, which completely met Tang Wenxin's appetite.

During the meal, Tang Wenxin chattered with her brother about her recent life. She mentioned the new song that Madam Yun taught her today, and asked Tang Wenhao to come home again when he is free recently, so that she could play the song for her brother herself.

Tang Wenhao listened patiently, picking up food for his sister from time to time. Seeing his sister happy, the haze in his heart seemed to dissipate a lot.

After dinner, Tang Wenhao sent Tang Wenxin back to the Tang family. Tang Wenxin was not used to her brother moving out at first, but now she is used to her brother not staying at home overnight. Although she didn't know about the conflict between her parents and her second brother, she knew that her brother had his own career and pursuits, and she should support him.

Watching his sister walk into the house, Tang Wenhao's smile finally fell. He turned and walked towards the carriage that had been waiting on the side, with a hint of imperceptible fatigue in his steps. The door was gently opened, and he stepped into the car, and then his whole body relaxed and leaned on the soft cushion, as if he wanted to integrate the fatigue of the day into this soft touch.

"Master, are we going back to the pastry shop?" At this time, the driver's voice broke the silence in the car. Tang Wenhao looked up and found that the driver had been replaced by Tang Xiaowu. Tang Xiaowu was a smart person who was good at observing people's expressions. Seeing that the master looked a little solemn at the moment, he asked carefully.

"Go to Shen's house."

Tang Wenhao uttered these three words, his tone revealed an unquestionable determination. Although Tang Xiaowu was puzzled as to why the young master was going to the Shen family so late, he did not ask much, but silently adjusted the reins and drove the car towards the direction of the Shen family.

The carriage moved forward steadily in the night. Only the sounds of rolling wheels and horse hooves broke the silence. Tang Wenhao closed his eyes to rest, but his mind was filled with thousands of thoughts.

He knew that Grandpa Shen was used to going to bed early and getting up early because he ran a noodle shop, and Grandpa Shen's house was outside, so he did not knock on the door directly. Instead, he went around to the back of Shen Xiao's house and imitated the cuckoo's call: "Cuckoo cuckoo, cuckoo cuckoo, cuckoo cuckoo." This unique code was an unwritten agreement between the two of them.

After a while, Shen Xiao opened the door and opened the main door holding an oil lamp.
