The atmosphere returned to calm. Chang Sanxi was so nervous that his mouth was dry and his eyes were not focused.
The TV channel was very lively, with laughter and crying. Her palms were hot and sweaty: "Um... what do you usually do?"
If you understand his preferences, you can start from there and slowly approach him.
She didn't just rush over here rashly, she had thought of many ways behind the scenes.
Xiao Wensheng noticed that there were only two of them in the room, so he naturally asked him this question.
"There's not much work at work. At home, besides doing some work, I usually take the kids out."
Chang Sanxi nodded: "Do you like reading? Or do you have any other hobbies?"
She has no topic to talk about when it comes to taking care of children, after all, she doesn't have any children.
Xiao Wensheng is mostly quiet and a man of few words. He is a man of action: "I don't have any hobbies."
The topic is stuck here again.
Chang Sanxi pursed his lips helplessly, thought for a while, and took out two movie tickets from his pocket: "You saved me in front of the cinema yesterday. These are three tickets given to me by my friend. I'll treat you and Xiangdi to a movie."
After saying this, the hands holding the movie tickets were shaking.
Even the most dull-witted man could sense the deeper meaning behind Chang Sanxi's enthusiasm.
Xiao Wensheng's expression turned serious. "Thank you, but no thanks. Xiangdi is still young, and I don't want to take her to the movies too often, lest she study hard."
"Also, Comrade Sanxi can set his sights on gay men with similar conditions to you. We are not really suitable."
He is a divorced man with children. He wants to find someone to live with, and he plans to find someone who is divorced or widowed. They don't talk about love, just want to live together.
Chang Sanxi wanted to say no, no...you misunderstood...
But she didn't misunderstand me. She came here just to talk about love.
"Why?"
Chang Sanxi clutched the movie ticket tightly, tears welling up in his eyes: "Is there something wrong with me? You can tell me."
"Do you dislike me because I'm small, bad-tempered, or something?"
She had already thought about how to ease the awkwardness if she was rejected, and then faced the challenge head-on.
But not now.
She still has a lot of things to do, it's too sudden.
His rhythm was suddenly disrupted, and Chang Sanxi spoke without thinking.
Xiao Wensheng's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little guilty. "It's not that you're not good enough, it's that we're not suitable. You should know about my relationship with my ex-wife. I don't have any thoughts on love."
"Also, you may not really like me that much. You want to be with me because I helped you when you were wronged. That's not love, it's just gratitude."
"Neither of us has much emotional experience, so you can't tell whether you like it or not."
Chang Sanxi showed his liking for her and did not deny his guess. To be honest, it was beyond his imagination and preparation.
Chang Sanxi turned his head, forced back his tears, and looked directly into Xiao Wensheng's eyes.
"I can tell the difference and I can handle it clearly."
"Comrade Xiao, I'm not a three-year-old child, nor am I a recent graduate. I'm already the team leader of the pastry class at the food factory. I'm even older than Zao'er."
"I haven't gotten married in all these years because I can clearly tell the difference between liking you and disliking you. I also understand your experience and know that after you've been hurt in a relationship, it would be difficult for you to like someone again. But what I pursue is not just love, but also family."
"Although you have a child, she seems very well behaved and cute. I like her very much. I think you should consider the child when you remarry. You should know what kind of person I am. Only by being her stepmother can she feel the love of her mother."
"Do you think you can treat her well by just changing a woman?"
This sentence stumped Xiao Wensheng.
Yes, changing a woman would guarantee that she would be good for Xiangdi, right? But letting Xiangdi live a normal life was his selfish desire.
Chang Sanxi saw that he was thinking seriously and felt that there was a chance. He clenched his fists and continued to attack: "Besides wanting to see it, there is also your mother. She is a very gentle and easy-going person. If I had married you, what happened last night would never have happened."
"And your sister-in-law Jiang Zao, she's my good friend. If we were together, I could go to and from get off work with her every day, and we could look after each other."
"After listening to me, do you still think that I was acting on impulse and can't distinguish between love and life?" Of course I am very clear-headed, okay?
Xiao Wensheng looked a little strange, and looked at Chang Sanxi doubtfully: "You don't like me, and you simply want to be Jiang Zao's sister-in-law?"
I still like it.
Chang Sanxi did not rush to admit it, but thought about it in her mind. What if Xiao Wensheng did not agree if she told the truth?
"That's about right. I just think marrying you is a good fit. And think about it, your ex-wife bullied you like that, but you didn't do anything to her. This indirectly proves that you don't have the potential for domestic violence like that man last night."
"Taking all factors into consideration, I think you're a very suitable choice. I hope you'll seriously consider it. I can cook, wash clothes, and earn money. I also like your daughter. If I treat your daughter poorly, I won't be able to hold my head up in front of my friends. Given all the constraints, I will treat you well."
