In the era of rebirth, breaking off the engagement and marrying the toughest man

Chapter 48 48 Huo Xuan Is He a Substitute?
·
After eating, everyone went to Dongjiao Cemetery together.

Xie Mingzhu's mother was buried there.

Xie Mingzhu took out a wet towel and gently wiped off the dust on the tombstone.

Xie Shaoli brought the brazier, and Xie Shitong lit the paper money in front of the tomb.

"Su Rong, we came to see you." Xie Shitong said softly, "boss and Mingzhu are back, the second child is doing well in the army now, and the children are doing well, if you know it, you can feel at ease."

Xie Mingzhu also burned a stick of incense for her mother, and said with a choked voice, "Mom, I will make snacks in the future, so that my father and brothers won't worry about it."

Several people stayed in the cemetery for a while, then came down from the mountain.

Because Xie Shitong had to go to work again in the afternoon, he left directly from here.

Xie Shaoli left with him.

Before leaving, ask Gao Siyu to take them to the city in the afternoon and buy some new clothes for Xie Mingzhu.

Gao Siyu asked Xie Mingzhu for his opinion.

Xie Mingzhu only said that she wanted to go back and rest.

Gao Siyu didn't say anything, and took her back.

When he got home, Huo Xuan got up to say goodbye and prepared to go back.

Seeing this, Xie Mingzhu quickly stood up and said aloud, "I'll go back with you too, and I just happened to go to see Mama Hu."

Huo Xuan turned his head and glanced at her, then smiled lightly and said, "Running all the way, you should take a good rest first, it's not too late to go after resting."

Xie Mingzhu nodded slightly.

You always have to bring something when you come to the door. You can’t go there empty-handed. It’s better to prepare first, and it’s not too late to go when you’re ready.

Xie Mingzhu sent Huo Xuan outside the door.

Huo Xuan glanced inside, then stretched out his hand to stroke Xie Mingzhu's head, and said with a slight smile, "Have a good rest, and I will come to see you again when I have time."

Xie Mingzhu paused for a moment, then nodded in response.

In the kitchen, Gao Siyu came out with a thermos pot, saw the actions of the two, paused in his footsteps, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a clear smile.

Huo Xuan was facing the kitchen, and naturally saw Gao Siyu at a glance, and immediately withdrew his hand guiltily.

Seeing this, Gao Siyu turned around and walked into the living room, pretending not to see it.

Huo Xuan didn't say anything else, and said softly, "I'm leaving, you can go back."

Said, waved to Xie Mingzhu.

Xie Mingzhu watched his back disappear into the corner of the street before turning back.

Gao Siyu in the living room looked at her with a teasing expression on his face.

"gone?"

Xie Mingzhu blinked twice, frowned and asked, "Why do you have that expression?"

Gao Siyu poured her a glass of water, put it in front of her, coughed lightly, and then asked, "What's going on with you and Huo Xuan?"

Xie Mingzhu pursed her lips slightly, sat beside her, and said angrily, "What's going on? It's nothing!"

Gao Siyu took a closer look at her expression, and it became clearer on her face.

"Before I was worried that you would be overwhelmed, so we are relieved."

Gao Siyu continued, "However, are you serious? Huo Xuan is a good boy, don't take him as spiritual comfort just because you lost your relationship."

Xie Mingzhu paused for a moment and didn't speak.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Gao Siyu continued, "I took a psychology class for a while, and I heard a term called 'empathy effect'."

To put it simply, in the process of emotional frustration, in order not to hurt yourself, you transfer your emotions to another object or another person.

Usually this person is a companion by your side.

Gao Siyu has seen the case before, and he was crying to death one second, but he was able to put away his tears in the next second, turned around and appeared in the crowd with Xinhuan.

In fact, this is just an illusion, an illusion of self-deception.

"Are you serious about Huo Xuan?" Gao Siyu asked again, "Did you really not regard him as a substitute?"

A substitute is the best way to let yourself give up.

Forced to put the original feelings on another person.

"When someone comes out to comfort you when you are hurting in your heart, you will feel that you are valued and have a sense of belonging to him, which will also make you suddenly love him."

Gao Siyu looked at her very calmly, analyzing step by step.

"Be the companion of the substitute, treat you very well, pour out your heart for you, you see that he treats you well, keep him by your side, and accept him. When the time comes, you can further deceive yourself and say that you are not Then you failed, that man was blind before, and you found true love again."

Xie Mingzhu didn't speak.

She was sure she didn't regard Huo Xuan as any substitute.

Huo Xuan is Huo Xuan, he is not anyone.

However, as Gao Siyu said, her relationship with Huo Xuan came too fast and too suddenly.

During the period of time with Huo Xuan, there were only the two of them.

Getting along with single men and women, coupled with accidents, physical touch, and ambiguity came up again.

The atmosphere has already been enhanced to that point, she doesn't dislike Huo Xuan, and it seems reasonable that she will fall.

Now that she thinks about it, she doesn't even know if she really has feelings for Huo Xuan.

It's just a normal physiological reaction.

"It can be seen that he likes you."

Seeing that she was lost in thought, Gao Siyu continued to say to her, "Since you also have feelings for him, why don't you wait for you to calm down, calm down, and think about your relationship with him."

The love in Huo Xuan's eyes cannot be hidden, it is earnest and strong.

I heard that it was just a dream, dreaming that Mingzhu was in danger, and immediately dropped everything to find her.

Such feelings cannot be fake.

However, it is also such strong feelings that make people lose themselves.

Xie Mingzhu raised her lips slightly and nodded lightly: "I will think about it carefully."

Seeing her serious expression, Gao Siyu knew that she took her words to heart, so he didn't say anything else, he just stretched out his hand to pull her up: "Aren't you going to see Hu's mother tomorrow? I'll take you to buy some gifts now. Don’t come to the door empty-handed.”

Hearing what she said, Xie Mingzhu also stood up.

The two dressed up and took the bus to the department store in the city center.

The department store is still the same as before, with people coming and going, very lively.

Compared with when she left, there are many more buildings around, tall buildings everywhere, and extremely prosperous.

Xie Mingzhu looked at everything familiar and unfamiliar around her, and her thoughts were full of emotions.

In another ten or twenty years, the place will be even more prosperous than it is now.

Dozens of floors of buildings can be found everywhere.

The two entered the department store and bought a lot of things.

In addition to going to see Hu's mother tomorrow, Xie Mingzhu is also going to see her adoptive parents.
