Chapter 846: Chapter 848: Warm Heart

Actually, the love that Father has for Tang Rong is still the same as before. He takes her out to play every week, and brings her gifts when he goes on business trips. On the surface, the family seems unchanged, but many underlying things have quietly transformed.

Tang Rong no longer hears the cheerful laughter at the dinner table like before, nor does she actively ask her father to watch TV with her after dinner. She fears he’ll refuse her, even though he has never rejected any of her requests.

Suddenly, she thought of her good friend, that little girl must be lonely, even though she can play outside until dark every day and has more pocket money than Tang Rong envied. She remembers going to that girl’s house once, and she took out a tin box filled with lots of money. The largest denomination was a hundred, which Tang Rong had never used before.

She took out the money, laid them out one by one, and said to Tang Rong, "Look, I’ve saved so much money now, probably another year of saving and I’ll have enough to buy two train tickets to Province Q. Then I’ll leave with my grandma and we’ll never see each other again."

"Why do you want to leave? Isn’t it nice to stay here? I’ll miss you if you go." Tang Rong asked, puzzled. Her words were beyond Tang Rong’s understanding.

"I don’t want to see my parents and their children anymore, but if I’m in this city, I have to see them every week. Don’t be sad, I’ll come to see you when I have money in the future." said the little girl, in a mature tone.

So after such things happened in her own home, she somewhat understood the kind of life her good friend was leading. There’s a term called empathy, but in fact, there’s no real empathy in this world. If the needle doesn’t pierce you, you can’t feel the pain.

Perhaps the life we envy in others is exactly what they are striving to escape from. So don’t easily envy others, and don’t underestimate your own life. Tang Rong realized this truth long after, but she had already experienced such things when she was young.

Maybe many adults don’t realize how important a harmonious and loving family is for a child. Kids in unhappy families more or less have a guarded heart towards everything around them, which essentially boils down to a lack of security.

So Tang Rong is particularly cautious about feelings, always telling herself not to invest too much in a relationship, since ultimately she’ll lose it. She doesn’t trust anyone.

After meeting Xiao Yifei, that feeling seemed to ease. Being with Xiao Yifei, she always felt calm. She didn’t have to repeatedly ask if he loved her, which was an experience she never had with previous boyfriends. Maybe Xiao Yifei inherently has such a quality, like a wanderer finally finding a home.

Because there wasn’t much going on at the company the next day, Tang Rong got up late. When she woke up and opened the door, she found a piece of white paper on the floor, densely covered with words written by Xiao Yifei: "Rong’er, the hospital will be very busy today, so I won’t have time to contact you. I’ll come home at six in the evening to pick you up and take you somewhere."

There were also some other corny sweet nothings. Although Xiao Yifei’s handwriting was nice, it was quite sloppy. Perhaps that’s common for doctors, as only a few people could read the writing. But it was evident that Xiao Yifei was trying hard to write neatly. Despite that, Tang Rong read it several times before understanding it.

Unexpectedly, in this day and age, someone would still use such old-fashioned methods to communicate with their girlfriend. It’s quite romantic, better than chatting via QQ or WeChat, much more heartfelt.

Shi Miaomiao came out of the bathroom and saw Tang Rong standing at the bedroom door, holding a piece of paper and looking at it with a serious expression. Occasionally, she showed the smile of a woman in love. No doubt, it was written by Xiao Yifei. So she quietly approached Tang Rong and snatched the paper from her hand.

Tang Rong immediately chased after her, trying to get it back. Shi Miaomiao ran faster and dashed back to her room, locked the door, and began reading with interest. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yifei’s way of wooing girls was still stuck in the past decade.

Looking at the things written on it, all flirtatious sweet words, Shi Miaomiao chuckled and teased Tang Rong through the door, "Didn’t expect my ’Brother Xiao’ would still use techniques from ten years ago to win your heart, but it’s quite touching."

Locked outside the room, Tang Rong was helpless against Shi Miaomiao and could only stand quietly outside without saying a word.

"Sister Rong, are you shy now? Why aren’t you talking? Quick, tell me what happened after I left last night. Was there anything adult-unfriendly?" Shi Miaomiao said, as her restless gossiping instinct finally asked the question, thanks to Tang Rong being outside and unable to come in.

"Shi Miaomiao, if you don’t open the door, I’m going to raise your rent. You little girl, why are you so nosy? I should find you a boyfriend, otherwise, you’ll be bored to death every day." Tang Rong was really helpless with her.

Upon hearing about the rent increase, Shi Miaomiao immediately opened the door. She was just an ordinary office worker, and her monthly expenses were planned. Any expenses beyond the plan made Shi Miaomiao worried.

In fact, Shi Miaomiao’s parents used to send her a few thousand yuan every month when she just started working. But after working for a while, she felt embarrassed to spend her parents’ money. So she told them, "Mom and Dad, you don’t have to send money anymore; my salary can support me."

Under her strong insistence, her parents stopped supporting her financially. Initially, Shi Miaomiao’s days were pretty good. She had some savings, not much, but enough to buy snacks daily.

But money is hard to earn, working hard all month for just a few thousand yuan salary, yet spending it feels like water flowing away. A shopping trip for a few clothes could cost half a month’s salary, so Shi Miaomiao’s days are tight now, and she hasn’t gone shopping in a while.

However, she feels embarrassed to ask her parents for money again, as it would be too humiliating. Back then, she had resolutely refused her parents’ support, so now she has no face to bring it up. Although her parents could easily afford the money, she’s an adult and can’t keep asking them for money.

"Sister Rong, we’re loving and caring sisters, how can we talk about money which hurts our relationship? I’ll pretend I haven’t seen what’s written on this paper. There you go, enjoy it slowly, and I’ll go back to my room to catch up on sleep." Shi Miaomiao meekly returned the note written by Xiao Yifei to its owner and then sheepishly retreated to her bedroom.

"Come back! Since you’ve seen the contents on the note, tell me, what should I wear tonight? Where is Xiao Yifei going to take me?" Tang Rong was already thinking about the evening date, but Xiao Yifei didn’t clearly say where he was taking her, so how should she dress! Tang Rong was a bit worried.
