Chapter 295 How should I face him?
The topic of their conversation expanded from literary creation to daily life, and Su Ming was also happy that someone could share some of his inner pressure. Time passed unknowingly, and Jia Dongxu looked at his watch, "Oh, time flies, I have to go, I have to come back next time."
"Okay, thank you for the wine and takeaway, Dongxu. It really helped me a lot." Su Ming stood up and walked him to the door.
Jia Dongxu turned around and said with a smile: "You're welcome, you're welcome. You can always come to me if you have anything. By the way, how is Xiaodang doing recently? I heard that you couldn't contact her recently."
Su Ming smiled bitterly, "She always turns off her phone or doesn't answer the phone recently, and I'm a little worried. We were supposed to meet this afternoon, but she seems to have something to do."
Jia Dongxu frowned, "That's not like Xiaodang. She's not usually like this. Do you want me to give it a try? I have a good relationship with her."
Su Ming thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, if it's convenient for you, please help me try it. I'm a little worried that she has something bothering her recently."
"Don't worry, I'll call her right away." Jia Dongxu took out his cell phone and quickly dialed Xiaodang's number. After the phone rang a few times, Jia Dongxu's expression became a little serious. He glanced at Su Ming and said, "Xiaodang's phone is off. I'll try to send a message again."
Su Ming was getting more and more anxious. He prayed that Xiao Dang would be okay, and was grateful for Jia Dongxu's help. He quietly waited for Jia Dongxu's news, and silently prayed for Xiao Dang in his heart.
After a few minutes, Jia Dongxu looked at the reply on his phone and a look of relief appeared on his face. He looked up and said to Su Ming, "Don't worry, Xiao Dang said her phone is out of battery and is charging at a friend's house. She will call you back later."
Hearing this news, Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and the doubts in his heart slowly dissipated. "Oh, so that's how it is. Thank you, Dongxu, you really helped me a lot."
Jia Dongxu smiled and patted Su Ming on the shoulder. "You're welcome. Brothers should help each other. If you need my help with anything else, please let me know."
Su Ming nodded gratefully, "Okay, I understand. Be careful on your way. I won't see you off. It's so late."
"Okay, you should go to bed early too. Feel free to contact me if you have anything." Jia Dongxu waved his hand and walked out of Su Ming's hut.
Su Ming closed the door and gradually calmed down. He returned to his desk and continued his writing journey. Even though there were all kinds of accidents and troubles in life, he knew that he was not fighting alone. There were so many friends and family who really cared about him, and his heart was filled with gratitude and warmth.
Xiao Dang sat on the sofa at her friend's house, holding a cup of cold coffee in her hand, but she didn't take a sip. Her face was filled with deep worry and disappointment, and her eyes were full of powerlessness and heaviness.
In the past few days, she has been in such a mess that she can hardly live a normal life. Lao Jiang, her husband, has cheated on her. This news shocked her, angered her, and more importantly, caused her an unbearable heartache. They have been married for many years, and Xiao Dang has always believed that she has a loyal and reliable husband. But now, everything has collapsed.
She had imagined countless times what she would do if something like this happened one day. But when she really faced it, she was at a loss, her heart was empty, and she could not find any other feelings except pain and disappointment.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang, breaking the silence in her heart. She looked at the display screen and saw that it was Jia Dongxu's number. Xiaodang hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to answer the call or not, but she finally pressed the answer button.
"Hello, is this Jia Dongxu?" Her voice was a little low.
"Xiaodang, it's me." Jia Dongxu's voice came, sounding a little serious.
Xiaodang's heart moved. She didn't know why Jia Dongxu called her, but she knew that she really needed the company and comfort of a friend now.
"Um, what's up?" She said, trying to make her voice sound calm.
Jia Dongxu was silent for a moment, then said, "Su Ming couldn't find you and was a little worried about you. He had an appointment with you today, but your phone was turned off. He asked me to try and ask you what was wrong."
Xiao Dang felt a pang of sadness when she heard this. Su Ming, he still cared about her. Even though she was in a mess, he still cared about her. This feeling suddenly made her feel that she was not alone, at least there was such a friend who was willing to worry about her.
"I...my phone is out of battery, so it's turned off. I'm charging it at my friend's house and I'll be back soon." Xiaodang explained with some stuttering.
Jia Dongxu sighed softly, "Oh, so that's the case. Su Ming was relieved to hear that. He was really worried about you."
Xiao Dang nodded silently, but she didn't answer immediately. She couldn't easily share the turmoil in her heart with others, even her closest friends.
"What's wrong with you? What happened?" Jia Dongxu's voice was filled with concern.
Xiao Dang was silent for a while, but finally spoke out his inner pain, "Lao Jiang cheated on me."
Hearing this news, Jia Dongxu's expression suddenly became solemn. He knew how heavy a blow this was to Xiaodang, and he also knew that what she needed at this moment was not comfort, but a listening ear.
"I... I don't know what to do." Xiaodang's voice was a little choked. "We have been married for so many years, I thought everything was fine between us, but..."
Jia Dongxu listened quietly without interrupting her. He knew that Xiaodang needed to talk and needed a shoulder to lean on.
"How should I face him? How should I face my own heart?" Xiaodang's voice became increasingly low. "I feel as if I have lost my direction and all my faith."
"You don't have to rush to make a decision, calm down first." Jia Dongxu said slowly, "This matter is hard to accept, but you need to give yourself some time to deal with it. Maybe you can find a chance to have a good talk with Lao Jiang and listen to his explanation."
When Xiaodang closed her eyes, she could feel Jia Dongxu's warmth and understanding. Sometimes, you don't need others to give you answers, but you need someone to accompany you and silently support and encourage you.
"Thank you, Jia Dongxu. Your call made me feel less lonely." Xiaodang said softly.
Jia Dongxu smiled and said, "No, we are friends. If you need any help from me, please let me know."
"Okay, I understand. I... I'll hang up first. My friend may be waiting for me." Xiaodang said a little embarrassedly.
