small beast

"You praise him too much." Zhao Xin never attended any activities related to Zhao Xiaobao, which doesn't mean he doesn't care about Zhao Xiaobao.On the contrary, he has always been well aware of Zhao Xiaobao's movements.

What bothered him the most was Tan Jin's forced entry.Without Tan Jin's great help, Zhao Xiaobao would not be held in such a high position by the outside world.

Zhao Xin was faintly worried.It was then that he couldn't hold back anymore, he couldn't wait for the so-called one-year agreement, and wanted to have a showdown with Zhao Xiaobao as soon as possible.

"The higher he stands, the farther he can see." Tan Jin replied calmly, deliberately not revealing another layer of meaning in Zhao Xin's words.

"Xiaobao is a person who values ​​friendship." Zhao Xin's face was sleepy, and he tried to maintain an aura comparable to Tan Jin's, but unconsciously weakened.

I think so, Tan Jin is the one who wholeheartedly assists Zhao Xiaobao to go to a new field and occupy a new height.As for himself, he only wanted the child back.His selfishness still hopes to have a very obedient and well-behaved child like in the past.

It's just that when he saw that even he himself felt that he couldn't go back to the past.

Tan Jin picked up his own cup of coffee, took two sips, and then put it down.During this brief process, he carefully observed Zhao Xin's expression, and then he said, "Xiaobao has a big stage in the future, and you will not be on this stage. Or do you think you have the ability to make him give up this stage, Are you willing to stay by your side in an ordinary way, shackled in a small apartment?"

Zhao Xin stared at Tan Jin.He hated such a young man who had to show his sharpness, pretending that everything was under control.This made him extremely disgusted.Yet irrefutable.One thing Tan Jin said was right, he really didn't like the feeling of Zhao Xiaobao standing on the stage, it could even be said that he hated it.Just like that, after Wen Hengyuan became famous when he was young, he had to withdraw from the circle in order to be with him and stay in the country with peace of mind.

He is too possessive.Let Zhao Xiaobao learn piano from the beginning not for fame or anything else, just because he likes it, nothing more.He likes to see the dancing rhythm of those beautiful hands on the piano, and he likes to listen to a piece of soothing music after work.He can give Zhao Xiaobao everything he can, although this may not be what Zhao Xiaobao wants.But he will try his best to give, but now, it seems that even he has become pale and powerless in front of Zhao Xiaobao.

Maybe, you can try to change yourself for Zhao Xiaobao, "I won't let go because of this, I can try to adapt to this kind of life."

Tan Jin shook his head and remained silent.

The words have already been said for this sake, it seems that there is no need to continue.Neither of them would back down, and Zhao Xiaobao had to choose in the end.

Tan Jin looked at the half-closed bedroom door, the corners of his lips pursed slightly.

At the same time, Zhao Xin looked over.

Knowing that he had been discovered, Zhao Xiaobao opened the door and walked out.Her little face was frighteningly pale and stubborn, making people feel distressed.He didn't sit next to anyone, and went to the other side and sat alone.He heard all the conversation just now, and he raised his eyes to look at Zhao Xin.

"I'll take care of you."

"I raised me for 14 years, and I raised you for the rest of your life. I won't make you short of what my son did."

"I can let Wen Hengyuan go, as long as you let me go."

"Let's do it."

Before Zhao Xiaobao scolded him and beat him, he could not restrain his emotions and let him go.It's not as good as these few plain and heart-breaking words.

Zhao Xin shook his head and tried his best to deny Zhao Xiaobao's words, "I don't need you to take care of me. I don't need you to do anything for me."

Zhao Xiaobao raised his head weakly to signal him not to speak, "Wait for me to finish first. You just want an obedient person to accompany you to the end of your life, and I will return Wen Hengyuan to you. His reputation is ruined now, and he will not quarrel with you like he did back then. , he will live with you with all his heart, and with your ability, your life will only be better."

He spread his hands, "Look, I won't take revenge anymore, I wish you all happiness. Otherwise, if you say that I owe you something, I will pay you back together. Let's settle it."

The father and son, Tan Jin squinted his eyes, only feeling melancholy.Although he had never personally participated in this incident, he also knew what happened after the follow-up understanding.It was nothing more than Zhao Xiaobao's insistence on letting Wen Hengyuan repay the debt, while Zhao Xin tried his best to keep Hengyuan warm, and finally a father-son quarrel broke out.Now, firstly, Lao Tzu doesn't keep Wen Hengyuan warm, and then his son doesn't take revenge on Wen Hengyuan.On the contrary, it is the same as returning to the starting point.

Zhao Xin had never experienced such humiliation in his life, and it was still from his beloved child.Beg yourself to let him go?

This is not a bloody soap opera, he can pinch his waist and stalk his neck and yell with a blushing face, you eat and drink from me, why should I let you go, you spit out everything that I have fed you these years.

Zhao Xin felt that sitting here was ridiculous.Being ridiculed by a young man, he can still fight.He really couldn't stand being ridiculed by his son again.

He gritted his teeth fiercely and stared at Zhao Xiaobao, "Are you determined to leave?"

He thought that Zhao Xiaobao would at least hesitate for a while, but Zhao Xiaobao's nod was as fast as lightning.Zhao Xin was stimulated by that eagerness to get rid of it.Zhao Xin can endure scolding and beating, can endure Zhao Xiaobao's strange agreement, can endure cooking and doing housework, but he can't bear the current situation.

With a newcomer, Zhao Xin couldn't help but want to do something by pulling out the old man to humiliate and ruin him.He resisted this impulse and stood up, "Someone praised you, think I'm old, don't you? Do you think this person can be relied on, and someone who has only known you for a few months is more worthy of you than the old man who has raised you for more than ten years?" Believe it? I was really blind back then, why did I raise such a beast like you!"

After cursing a few words, Zhao Xin was still frustrated, and continued, "I'll wait for you to come and beg me."

***

The loud sound of closing the door has been echoing in Zhao Xiaobao's ears.

Zhao Xiaobao sat for a while, then turned and went back to the bedroom.

After the celebration banquet, Zhao Xiaobao had a few days off and fell asleep in this suite.Every day, someone brought him meals on time. Tan Jin came twice in the middle of the day, didn't say anything, just stared at him and left after eating.

Later, when he heard that Zhao Xin had moved out of the apartment, Zhao Xiaobao took a car back to his apartment.The things inside seemed to have not been changed. He looked around the room and found that an erhu was missing.The only thing he brought out when he came out from the Zhao family was now taken away by Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xiaobao was very anxious, he didn't expect Zhao Xin to take the things away.After hesitating for a while, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhao Xin's number.

The notification tone on the phone is out of service area.He could only stop and call again after a while, looking for a chance to get his things back.Anyway, Zhao Xin doesn't like that thing, so it's useless to keep it.

Later, Zhao Xiaobao never called Zhao Xin again.

Zhao Xin seemed to have evaporated from the world, no matter how much power other people searched for, they couldn't find any clues.

***

one year later.

"You're busy, aren't you?" When Zhao Xiaobao returned home from the performance, Tan Jin was cooking soup in the kitchen.Because of the time difference, it was already midnight when he came back.

There was no sleepiness on Tan Jin's face, and he poured out a bowl for Zhao Xiaobao.In the end, after waiting for love all night, Zhao Xiaobao ridiculed him instead.

Tan Jin was not annoyed, he sat across from him, propped his chin and watched Zhao Xiaobao finish his drink, and went to serve Zhao Xiaobao another bowl.

After Zhao Xiaobao finished drinking, he turned and went to the bathroom to take a shower.Tan Jin stayed in the kitchen to clean up the dishes.In his own home, he is too lazy to clean up these things, and he rarely even cooks.But this is Zhao Xiaobao's place, if it is not cleaned up, Zhao Xiaobao, who has a cleanliness habit, will not let him in again.

After Zhao Xiaobao came out of the shower, Tan Jin also cleaned the kitchen.

Zhao Xiaobao greeted Tan Jin and said, "I'm going back to China to spend the Spring Festival with Uncle Wu this year." Last year he was too busy to go back in time, but this year he has to go back no matter what.Uncle Wu couldn't leave the country because of his status. If he didn't go back and have a look, he would be really sorry for Uncle Wu's love for so many years.

Tan Jin's expression darkened, no matter how unhappy he was, he didn't show it on his face, and he replied briskly, "Okay. Do you want me to go back with you?"

Zhao Xiaobao shook his head, "No need." No name, no place, followed what to do.How to explain it at that time is a problem.It would be easier to go back alone.

Tan Jin's face darkened a bit, but he still pretended to be calm, and said softly, "Go to bed early. I've been busy for so many days."

"OK, good night."

Zhao Xiaobao didn't think about anything else, got up and went back to his bedroom.

The apartment was bought by Zhao Xiaobao after selling the original one.Tan Jin has been the guest of honor here for half a year, but the relationship between the two still hasn't made the slightest progress.

Tan Jin passed by the door of Zhao Xiaobao's room, took a look, and thought, I can bear it.

What else can I do but endure.He has already come to this point, he can't be impulsive and cause everything to lose, he can only be patient.

There are still four days until New Year's Eve.Zhao Xiaobao lay on the bed thinking about his time.During this year, he has been flying around, rarely resting.But no matter when he comes back home, Tan Jin always waits for him to come back like the master of the house.

Sometimes he thinks, why not just go on like this.There is such a person, you can talk to, you can rely on, what more do you want?

What more do you want?

But, I always feel like something is missing.

Sighing, Zhao Xiaobao closed his eyes, unwilling to worry about such things any more.Just let it happen.

Zhao Xiaobao got up to make breakfast the next day.All his cooking skills were learned from the servants at home since he was a child.He likes to cook.If his old man didn't let him learn the piano back then, he could have gone to get a chef certificate and come back.It's a pity that he has lived with Zhao Xin for more than ten years, and Zhao Xin has never tasted his craft.Just because Zhao Xin said that his hands are for playing the piano, and he is not allowed to do other things.

After breakfast, the two were discussing where to go to relax when Zhao Xiaobao's cell phone rang crazily.As the person in charge of the foundation, Lu Shi really worked hard this year to lay a good foundation for the foundation.Ordinary things, he never bothered Zhao Xiaobao.

But this time, Lu Shi's own voice trembled a little, "Xiaobao, let me tell you something. Tell me first, is Tan Jin by your side now?"

Zhao Xiaobao's breathing became short of breath, "Tan Jin is here. Tell me."

"Three days ago, the foundation received a sum of money. The donor is Zhao Xin."

"Go back!" Zhao Xiaobao's attitude was very firm.

Lu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "Listen to what I have to say first. I also said that I would refund it. But the money cannot be refunded, it is a transfer of inheritance."
