Be in low spirits

He put away his sworn hand, approached her, lowered his voice and said, "Wife, can we go home and talk? There are so many people watching here."

"Then swear an oath. Whatever I ask you when we get home, you will answer the same question." She didn't believe in swearing at first, but now it seemed inappropriate for her to act unreasonably here, so Li Li swore along the stairs.

The spicy hotpot doesn’t taste the same as before. She said: “I haven’t been here since that year because the owner changed and it doesn’t taste the same as before.”

"No wonder I didn't wait for you." Li Li was also a little disappointed.

After they finished their meal, they drove back home. Li Li helped her carry her bag and entered the elevator. The zipper of the bag was not zipped up, and when she wanted to zip it up, she saw the contraceptive pills inside.

When he got home, he took it out and asked her, "What is this?"

"The birth control pill." She answered matter-of-factly. "This thing is very bad for your health. Don't you want to have a child?"

"I don't want to." She still answered as a matter of course, with a blank expression. He hadn't explained the matter of Malatang clearly yet, and now he was questioning her again.

Although I guessed the answer with a high probability, I still felt a little disappointed when I heard her say that. "You can tell me if you don't want it. Taking medicine is not good for your health."

Kong Zhixi pulled a stool and placed it opposite the sofa, then sat on it. She patted the stool and asked Li Li to sit on it. "Let's talk about the accident."

He hopped onto the stool and explained, "It was such a surprise. I didn't know you would show up."

She didn't respond, just looked at him. "Really! Then...then you had a chance to leave, but you went back, so I just took advantage of your situation."

"I'm not asking you this. I'm talking about what happened before this." She wanted to ask much more than that.

"Before... before, honey, I can't tell you. Please don't make it difficult for me." He started to act like a spoiled child again, grabbing her hand and resting his head on her shoulder.

"Be serious! If you continue like this, I'll really get angry." She shrugged.

"I received a message from Fu Yan. He asked me to meet him there and then gave me some wine. I didn't know there was medicine in the wine. When you came, their car was just opposite. If we had gone to the hospital, Fu Yan's identity would have been exposed. But I didn't ask you to send me to the hotel, and... you did, but you went in again for the second time, then I..." As he spoke, he felt aggrieved.

"Are you blaming me?" Kong Zhixi tilted her head and looked into his eyes.

"No! I just feel that we are destined to be together. It's magical." He said it in a mean way, pulled the stool and leaned back on the sofa.

Kong Zhixi was amused by his appearance, "You start talking nonsense again, and you're investigating me."

"I just asked around, I really didn't check." He began to lean his head on her shoulder again.

"Then let me ask you, Accountant Tian, ​​what is the relationship between Jia Jia's father, Fu Yan, Chang Shi, and Dean Jiang? What about the explosion case? What are Uncle Qi and Uncle Jiang here to investigate?" She straightened him up and asked him to answer her questions directly.

He was embarrassed. He couldn't reveal too much about the criminal police team. The more he knew, the more dangerous she would be. "You can't tell me. You know that."

"What about Xiao Zhao?" She knew that Xiao Zhao died in the bombing, so as one of the victims, she should have the right to know. "We're investigating. Didn't someone from the criminal police team come to see you?" He also became serious. "So you're not going to tell me anything, right?"

"No, I really don't know! Uncle Qi and Uncle Jiang just came here together to investigate the case. I don't know anything else, really." He began to imitate her and looked at her innocently.

Kong Zhixi knew that she would not get anything out of him this way. Besides, he had to undergo rehabilitation and go to psychological counseling. He must be exhausted after a day. So she stopped forcing him, found him some medicine, poured him some water, handed it to him and said, "You must be exhausted today. Take a shower and go to bed."

He looked at the medicines and didn't take them. He started to act like a spoiled child to her, "There are too many medicines. Can you take less?"

"No, the doctor said I have to take it every day." She flipped through the clothes in the closet to see which one would suit her. Li Li leaned against the door and looked at her, saying, "Then I'll finish taking it. Will there be any benefits?"

"The benefit is good health." She took her pajamas and wanted to go to the bathroom to take a shower. Li Li stood at the door and hugged her, asking, "My parents are urging us to have children. Do you really not want children?" Here we go again! One of them is a criminal policeman and the other is a policeman. Let alone having a child, the reason they can meet now is because he is only half alive. By the time the child is born, he probably won't even remember what his parents look like. "No, it will be very hard."

He didn't really want to have a baby, but he felt that she didn't want to have his child, which made him feel empty inside. "Then hire a nanny, a confinement nanny, or go to a confinement center?"

Kong Zhixi knew that her reason was not sufficient and he would not let go, so she had to soften her attitude, put her hands around his neck, looked at him and said, "It's not about these hardships."

"What is that?" If these couldn't solve the problem, then he really couldn't think of anything else. She hesitated and wanted to laugh, thinking that if she really said this, she probably wouldn't be able to escape tonight, but if she didn't say it, he wouldn't know how long he would pester her. "Take the medicine and I'll tell you!"

Li Li held her waist, refusing to give in, and continued, "You speak first, and I'll solve it." She was a little amused and didn't know whether to speak or not. She made up her mind and kissed him on the lips, telling him, "It's hard to endure." As if receiving some signal, Li Li smiled and wanted to push her to the bed. She quickly stopped him and shouted, "Take the medicine first and take a shower."

He had no choice but to take the medicine obediently, handed the bath towel to her and said, "Let's take a shower together." Thinking of last night, Kong Zhixi still felt blushing and her heart was beating fast. She didn't want to take a shower with him, "If you continue like this, I will have to sleep in a separate room." Li Li immediately backed down and could only take a shower by himself.

When she came out of the shower, he was already lying on the bed. There was a box of condoms on the bedside table. She sat on the edge of the bed and tried to change the subject: "Why is there this thing at home? Have you used it before?"

"No! This was placed here when we got married. I haven't opened it yet, really." He was obviously panicked and felt a little guilty.

"We agreed on this when we got married, it was just for show, and you've even prepared this? You're telling me you haven't used it?" She didn't really want to dwell on the question of whether it was useful or not, she just wanted to take advantage of the situation to get out of the way.

Li Li pulled her into his arms, whispering in her ears as he explained, "I'm just preparing for the worst. Do you believe me? Besides, I've really been waiting for you for a long time. I'm just afraid... afraid that I won't be able to control myself."

......

Although his injury had not healed yet, his energy made Kong Zhixi exhausted. When he woke up in the morning with back pain, he took some time to return to the team. He also saw the autopsy results of Accountant Tian and learned some of the specific details of the explosion.

The kindergarten reported the activity, and the agency arranged for Kong Zhixi to go and take a look. She went there with the intercom in hand. The children were chattering, and many of them surrounded her and asked her questions, which made her feel overwhelmed. She had to answer them patiently and not get angry.

Li Li called her to discuss going home for dinner in the evening, saying that the things he bought had arrived, as well as the things his parents sent.

"What?" She didn't understand. Which house?

"It's a gift for my parents. I didn't tell them about it when I got married. As a son-in-law, I should have brought the gifts to meet them before the wedding." He counted the things in front of him, fearing that something was missing.

"Meet my parents?" The stools in the kindergarten were really small. She looked at the activities outside and thought that nothing should happen.

"Yes, do you think I should prepare something else? Two bottles of Moutai, two sets of cosmetics, a box of tea, and my mother sent me a can of dried tangerine peel. Don't you think it's a little less?" He was still looking forward to this meeting, but the two boxes of seahorses and deer antlers sent by his mother were a bit of an eyesore.

No one told her about meeting for dinner, why was it always so sudden? She didn't want to get involved in these formalities.
