Chapter 74
Tao Fuxin didn't seem to notice the sarcasm in Lin Anxia's words, Shi Shiran sat across from him, his movements were very elegant, as full of temperament as before.
"What would Xia Xia want to drink?" Tao Fuxin flipped through the list in her hand and said, "Mom hasn't been back for a long time, and I'm not very familiar with everything here. Does Xia Xia have a good introduction?"
Lin Anxia raised her eyelids slightly, took the order in Tao Fuxin's hand, and said calmly, "Let me order for you."
Tao Fuxin was a little surprised, she was stunned for a while, then nodded and said, "A cup of coffee is fine."
Lin Anxia didn't say yes or no, she stood up and went to the counter to order two things, then went back to her seat and sat down in silence.
Tao Fuxin looked at the child in front of him with a calm expression. He has grown up and is no longer what he used to be. He has changed from a child to a young boy.Lin Anxia was silent for a while, before saying, "Why are you still wearing sunglasses."
Tao Fuxin's thoughts stopped, and she heard Lin Anxia say again: "This way I can't see your eyes..."
Obviously Lin Anxia acted very calm and calm, but Tao Fuxin inexplicably felt sore in his heart.Her white fingers lightly caressed the frame of the mirror, and then hooked off the dark sunglasses.
The two looked at each other, speechless for a while...
After a while, Lin Anxia suddenly asked blankly, "Why don't you ask me how I've been doing these years?"
Tao Fuxin was taken aback for a moment, and then gave an ugly smile. Even the bright lipstick couldn't cover her gradually pale lips. Before Tao Fuxin could answer, Lin Anxia said again, "Aren't you afraid to ask?"
Tao Fuxin rested his hand on his forehead, turned his face away slightly, and said in a pretentious manner after a long while, "An Xia is very outstanding, I heard that he is already a famous painter. You are indeed a child of Xici, your father and you Must be proud of you."
"What about you." Lin Anxia asked, "Are you proud of me?"
Tao Fuxin pursed her lips and nodded slowly: "Of course..."
"Have you seen my paintings? Aren't I proud of being a famous painter? Have you seen my paintings then?"
The forced smile on Tao Fuxin's face froze at the corner of his mouth, "I... heard about it. An Xia's painting style is very attractive."
Lin Anxia smiled lightly, and her tone became extremely soft: "Why don't you see it for yourself? If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, how can you know how good I am?"
Tao Fuxin closed her eyes in embarrassment. The grown-up Lin Anxia made her feel more at a loss than before. When she was at a loss, the waiter brought two cups of coffee and came to the two of them.
Lin Anxia didn't continue the topic just now, but slowly pushed one of the cups of coffee to Tao Fuxin who was opposite: "Try it. This is the coffee taste that the owner of the shop figured out by himself. Anyone who likes it likes it very much." .”
Tao Fuxin seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, and hurriedly picked up the cup of coffee, trying to ease the stagnant atmosphere.The rich and sweet taste of the coffee immediately soothed her anxious heart. She never thought that just after taking a sip, the extremely bitter taste would spread in the cavity. Tao Fuxin couldn't hold back for a moment and spit out the coffee.
Tao Fuxin looked at Lin Anxia incredulously, but saw Lin Anxia on the opposite side calmly picked up the cup in front of her, took a sip, and remained expressionless.
Tears welled up in Tao Fuxin's eyes uncontrollably.Lin Anxia used to be her sweetheart, perhaps because the two are mother and son, and they are also very similar in terms of likes and dislikes.Tao Fuxin loves coffee very much, but she can't stand the bitter taste, she can hardly touch it at all, and because she really likes the sweet and strong taste of coffee, it took her a long time to get used to it, but until now she still can't Adapt to the taste of pure black bitter coffee.
Lin Anxia was almost exactly like her when she was young, she couldn't bear any bitter taste, seeing that she was constantly adapting to that bitter taste in order to taste the sweetness of coffee, the once caring child would quietly go to her coffee cup when she was making coffee. Add a spoonful of sugar to the quilt, and now...
Tao Fuxin looked down at the cup of bitter coffee in front of her, and saw her son on the opposite side still drinking the same taste, but she couldn't feel any discomfort in him, Tao Fuxin The heart that was originally full of cracks suddenly shattered completely.
She took out a few sheets of tissue from the cardboard box on the side of the table, and gently wiped away the coffee stains on the corners of her mouth.At this time, Lin Anxia said: "I'm sorry, I forgot to remind you just now. Although people who like this kind of coffee like it very much, those who are not used to it...are like snakes and scorpions."
Tao Fuxin took a deep breath, trying to restrain her slightly trembling voice, and said, "Xia Xia, mom knows you hate mom. Mom didn't come here this time to ask for your forgiveness. What did mom do? Mother is very clear about the matter, but no matter you are my child, mother still wants to remind you that you are a promising painter and cannot be shackled by private life issues. Qin Ruihe is a good child, you can do friend, but..."
"Enough!" Lin Anxia stood up excitedly, and looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief. At this moment, his heart was so painful that he seemed to be having difficulty breathing. Although he didn't want to admit it, Lin Anxia really did There is still a secret desire, Tao Fuxin came to see him because she still loves him in her heart, or...she will take this opportunity to recognize him, his mother will return to him, Because of a little guilt in my heart, I still love him as before...
But now Lin Anxia understood that this woman might really no longer have any feelings for him. Lin Anxia said coldly, "Are you here to be a lobbyist for your son?"
"What, what?" Tao Fuxin was taken aback by the question.
Lin Anxia supported the table with both hands, approached Tao Fuxin, and said softly, "Isn't it? Because Zhou Lin also likes Brother Rui, you know he's with me, so you come to persuade me not to make your precious son sad. Let go! Let me tell you, don't dream! Brother Rui is mine, and I won't let anyone snatch him away! You also put away those glamorous words, why take your private life into consideration for my future? It's bullshit!"
"Why do you look at Mom like that?" Tao Fuxin's soft eyes reflected unbelievable sadness: "Mom, Mom really thinks about you..."
"Come on!" Lin Anxia waved her hand, interrupting Tao Fuxin's words, suppressing the tears that were about to burst into her eyes, Lin Anxia choked up and said, "I will never, never trust you, never have any hope for you again. It doesn’t matter if you don’t love me anymore, I won’t care about you from now on. You can live happily with your current husband and his son with other people forever!”
Lin Anxia took a breath, and said sarcastically, "Goodbye, Ms. Tao Fuxin, and I wish you happiness."
After speaking, Lin Anxia left the coffee shop without looking back.
Tao Fuxin sat slumped on the seat, looked at his son's thin back, pressed his forehead, and murmured to himself in tears: "You misunderstood me, Xia Xia, you misunderstood mother..."

Lin Anxia returned home in a trance, slumped on the sofa, saw Xuesong lying quietly on the carpet, Lin Anxia called out softly: "Xuesong..."
Xue Song moved his ears when he heard the sound, but he didn't run over happily to be intimate with him as usual. Lin Anxia didn't care too much, but just went over and shook the dog food box on the feeder, "How did Xue Song eat so much recently?" Fewer and fewer?"
In fact, from a while ago, Cedar has started to eat less. It used to be less than a week for a box of dog food, but now a week has passed, and the dog food has not decreased much.
Lin Anxia got close to Xuesong, and Xuesong spontaneously climbed onto its lap, Lin Anxia shook the box in his hand in front of it again, and sighed: "Why don't you eat something? Hmm? Are you picky eaters? "
Xuesong hummed aggrievedly, and Lin Anxia hugged it in her arms, "Is there something uncomfortable?" She gently touched Xuesong's back with her hand, Lin Anxia leaned her head on Xuesong, looked at the silent hall, and passed for a long time. After a while he said, "I think I'm going crazy."
Lin Anxia's eyes were very empty. Xuesong, who was lying in his arms, got up and looked at him quietly with his head tilted. Anxia said: "But I still have reason, Xuesong, do you know me? I still have reason... ...I not only know that what I am doing now is mediocrity, but I also know that more helpless and tragic things will happen in other corners of the world. The people who suffer from those hardships may be more painful than me, but they They are still living so well. Why do things that others can do become so difficult for me? What if one day I can no longer control myself? What if one day I really become A real lunatic...isn't that ridiculous?"
Xuesong stretched her neck and rubbed against Lin Anxia's cheek, giving him silent comfort. Lin Anxia hugged it affectionately, and whispered: "Fortunately, I have you..."
At this time, Lin Anxia's phone rang, he took out his phone and saw the caller ID, and smiled slightly, "And Brother Rui..."
Lin Anxia hugged Xuesong with one arm, while talking on the phone with Qin Ruihe. Qin Ruihe would call Lin Anxia freshman at a fixed time every day, and report to each other what they did during the day. Very bland.Lin Anxia has never found this way of talking on the phone boring, because for him, what he needs most right now is someone who cares about him in every possible way.
After hanging up the daily phone call, Lin Anxia touched the cedar in his arms, went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles, and ate casually, anyway, no matter what he ate now, it was the same.Lin Anxia suddenly remembered Tao Fuxin's appearance when he drank that cup of bitter coffee during the day, and couldn't help laughing.In fact, he has not changed, and he is still afraid of suffering as before, but now the ups and downs are meaningless to him.
When the night fell completely, Lin Anxia went back to the room, covered the quilt and wanted to fall asleep quickly, but unfortunately, he failed...
As in the past many years, he is completely caught in the emotional quagmire of his own creation, unable to extricate himself.
