She Belongs To Me

"How long do you have to be busy? What shall we eat later?" Huo Zhenzhen asked Jiang Ci on the phone with a cigarette in her mouth.

Jiang Ci: "It's almost over."

The two made an agreement that night in the video that they would meet today, Jiang Ci would give those skin care products and makeup to Huo Zhenzhen.She has been eating lightly for several days, and now she just wants to have something heavy: "Let's have hot pot later."

Huo Zhenzhen: "No problem....Call Mr. Lu?"

Jiang Ci: "No need."

Huo Zhenzhen: "Why are you being polite to me, there are so many people eating hot pot, let alone I take so many things from her."

Jiang Ci: "I'm not being polite to you, she's busy."

Busy is of course an excuse, the moment they entangled and collapsed on the sofa, Jiang Ci's embarrassing illness had occurred, and she hadn't recovered after a few days, she was consciously avoiding being with Lu Xingxue—but she didn't get along with Huo Zhenzhen Plan to share these.

Huo Zhenzhen had no doubts about him: "The CEO is really hardworking... By the way, I'll ask little A to eat with us."

Jiang Ci: "Little A? You——"

"What? I want to ask if Xiao A and I are a couple?" Huo Zhenzhen giggled and said, "Because I invited your Mr. Lu, so you think that Xiao A must be my partner? Your logic I am convinced."

"..." Jiang Ci said speechlessly: "Why are you so sensitive, I didn't think about it at all."

Huo Zhenzhen laughed even louder: "Yes, yes, I am sensitive. Little A gave me a sigh of relief, I solemnly invite you, and take him by the way."

Jiang Ci: "Why did he get angry with you?"

Huo Zhenzhen told Jiang Ci: "I was busy in the store two days ago, I was busy with him after dinner, and I didn't want to eat takeaway, so we went out to eat together, and met Gu Xiaowei and his wife. I guess it was Xiaowei. A showed his tattoo, and his wife said that we are a good match, saying that we have a pot with a lid. I saw that she had a big belly, so I didn't bother with her."

Jiang Ci: "...huh?"

Huo Zhenzhen: "And here comes the important point. Not only did Gu Xiaowei not pull her wife, but instead questioned me, suspecting that I had cheated on him early in the morning and had an affair with little A. Little A has a bad temper and rushed up to Gu Xiaowei They scolded and beat him, and beat him severely."

Jiang Ci felt suffocated just listening to it: "...When you and Gu Xiaowei were in love, I didn't think he played too much. How could he be so irritating after breaking up?"

Huo Zhenzhen: "Hey, don't talk about being in love anymore, I feel sick when I think of him now."

When Jiang Ci finished her work and went to the hotpot restaurant to meet Huo Zhenzhen, Huo Zhenzhen and Xiao A were eating a piece of sugarcane each.Jiang Ci saw that there was a bruise on the corner of Little A's mouth, and said while sitting, "Is there still a medal on it?"

Little A smiled and showed two rows of white teeth: "Careless."

Huo Zhenzhen pointed at the sugarcane, and spit out the dregs in her mouth: "If you want to eat, take it yourself."

Jiang Ci hesitated for a moment: "No."

The three of them were chatting while cooking hot pot, Xiao A described to Jiang Ci the process of beating Gu Xiaowei again, he focused on imitating Gu Xiaowei's appearance of jumping in anger after being beaten, making Huo Zhenzhen lie on Jiang Ci's back Smile on the shoulder.

"If it wasn't for Gu Xiaowei's wife who came up to fight and Xiao A was concerned about her stomach, Gu Xiaowei might not even touch a hair of Xiao A's hair."

After laughing, Jiang Ci asked Huo Zhenzhen: "Are they really married?"

"It's over, even if it's not over, it's definitely a date, I can't wait." Huo Zhenzhen thought of Wen Nian who was also pregnant: "How is Wen Nian? I think she was not in a good state last time, is she still vomiting now?" ?”

Jiang Ci's smile faded: "...the child is gone."

Huo Zhenzhen's eyes widened, but she didn't ask any more questions, she just patted Jiang Ci on the shoulder, picked up a spoonful of fat beef for her, and said to Xiao A: "Hurry up, there are a lot of food today, don't waste it. "

At the end of the day, Huo Zhenzhen received a call from a stranger, and without saying a word, she pulled her face down: "Gu Xiaowei! Are you still going to finish!?"

After hanging up the phone, Huo Zhenzhen frantically complained to Jiang Ci: "I blocked his number, so he borrowed other people's mobile phones. He's such a grown-up, it's not too embarrassing to show his face!"

Jiang Ci: "What did he ask you for?"

Huo Zhenzhen: "You're not asking me why I want to green him."

Jiang Ci took it.

After a hot pot meal, Huo Zhenzhen was still not satisfied, so she insisted on going to the bar to drink some more, but when Jiang Ci said that she had a job early the next morning, she didn't insist, she let go and went with little A son left.

Jiang Ci took a taxi home, got off two streets earlier, and strolled all the way back.

Passing by the fruit shop, she glanced into the shop, originally wanted to see the puppet cat, but unexpectedly saw Lu Xingxue at a glance.

Lu Xingxue was chatting with the clerk, Jiang Ci lowered her head and walked past quickly.

Not long after Jiang Ci arrived home, Lu Xingxue also came back.Maybe it was because of the light in Jiang Ci's room, so she came and knocked on her door: "Jiang Ci."

Jiang Ci dawdled to the door and opened it, her face as if nothing had happened: "What?"

Lu Xingxue: "Mom called me and told me to have dinner tomorrow, are you free?"

Lu Xingxue had agreed to go before, and it was normal for Jiang Lin to contact her.Jiang Ci didn't want to go, but if Lu Xingxue went to eat alone, Jiang Lin would inevitably come and nag her again.Jiang Ci was afraid of trouble, so she could only nod obediently: "I'm free."

Lu Xingxue smiled: "Where do you work tomorrow? I'll pick you up."

Jiang Ci: "No need."

Lu Xingxue: "..."

Jiang Ci also realized that her refusal was too straightforward: "...the rush hour after get off work, the road is blocked, and you don't want to go along the way. I can just go there by myself, and I will be there around 06:30."

Lu Xingxue didn't insist, and lifted the bag in his hand: "I squeezed a cup of sugarcane juice for you at the fruit shop."

Jiang Ci watched Huo Zhenzhen and little A eating sugar cane at the hot pot restaurant, because she thought it would not look good to eat sugar cane directly, even if she wanted to eat it, she didn't eat it, but Lu Xingxue squeezed a glass of juice for her when she turned around.

What a coincidence.

"Thank you." Jiang Ci reached out to take it.

Lu Xingxue looked at her, raised the corners of her lips, turned around and went back to her room without saying anything.

Jiang Ci closed the door and took a sip of sweet sugarcane juice through a straw. ...Feeling like 80% of my embarrassment has been cured.

……and many more.

Fresh fruit juice can't be kept, so you can only drink it as you squeeze it.Lu Xingxue was particular about things, if she hadn't been sure that Jiang Ci was at home, she probably wouldn't have brought juice back.

Jiang Ci immediately figured it out, she was seen by Lu Xingxue as she hurried past outside the fruit shop.

I saw it when I saw it, it was nothing, but under normal circumstances, if I saw it, I should call her to stop, just like the last time I bought an apple, but Lu Xingxue didn't this time.Recalling the smile when Lu Xingxue gave her sugarcane juice——

Ginger Ci that is seen through: 80% → 0%

The next evening, when Jiang Ci arrived at No. 3 Songling Road, it was already close to 7 o'clock.Lu Xingxue hadn't arrived yet, Jiang Lin wasn't at home, and Tong Zhenni was nowhere to be seen.Tong Tingkai sat on the sofa and stared at Tong Junhao's homework. Only the kitchen aunt came in and out, very busy.

"Sister is here!" Tong Junhao jumped up: "Sister plays games with me!"

Tong Tingkai pinched his ear: "Sit down!"

Jiang Ci: "..."

It seems that Tong Junhao made a lot of trouble in school. Tong Tingkai, who dotes on him so much, has started to discipline him.

Tong Junhao groaned in pain, covered his ears and drew ghost symbols on the homework again.

"Your mother has something to do, she should be back soon." Tong Tingkai raised his wrist and looked at the time.

Jiang Ci: "Oh."

Tong Tingkai asked about Jiang Ci's work again. Their father and daughter rarely met, and Jiang Ci's feelings for him were also very complicated. On Tong Junhao.

Tong Junhao, whose ears were still aching, straightened up involuntarily.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before the sound of a car engine came from the yard, and Jiang Lin and Lu Xingxue entered the house one after the other.

Tong Tingkai stood up from the sofa and greeted Jiang Ci: "Everyone is here, let's eat."

He patted Tong Junhao on the back of the head again: "You brat, write after dinner."

He didn't mention Tong Zhenni. It seems that Tong Zhenni did not participate in today's dinner.This is nothing unexpected, what surprised Jiang Ci was that Lu Xingxue and Jiang Lin appeared together.

When she was seated, Jiang Ci took the initiative to talk to Lu Xingxue, and asked her softly, "Why did you come with your mother?"

Lu Xingxue leaned close to her ear, warm breath on her ear: "I'll tell you later."

Jiang Ci was a little itchy, but she didn't scratch it.

Several people sat around the dining table to eat, Jiang Lin opened Tong Tingkai a bottle of health wine given by Ning Shuyue, and the topic naturally turned to Wen Nian's miscarriage.

"Shuyue has shed tears every day these days, tidying up the baby's little clothes and crying when she sees the pregnancy recipes. It feels like she has never been so sad in her life." Jiang Lin said with a sigh.

Tong Tingkai: "Wen Nian is still young, why is she in a hurry."

Jiang Lin: "Yes, take good care of your body, and you will have children in the future. That's how I persuaded her."

When Tong Tingkai and Jiang Lin said this, they stopped talking in a tacit understanding.

Jiang Ci glanced at them calmly.

Jiang Lin looked at Lu Xingxue with a smile: "Xiaobai, how is grandpa?"

Lu Xingxue: "He is in good health, but his personality doesn't like to communicate with others, and he always stays alone."

"As you get older and have a lot of experience, it's inevitable that you will be withdrawn." Jiang Lin paid attention to Lu Xingxue's expression, and seeing Lu Xingxue nodded slightly, she said again: "I think, if there is a small child If you can act like a baby around him, maybe he can be more cheerful?"

Jiang Ci: "..." Mom, can you be more direct?

Lu Xingxue naturally understood, and responded, "Well, I'm thinking about it."

Jiang Lin breathed a sigh of relief visibly, and smiled at Tong Tingkai. Tong Junhao hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth: "Where did the little kid come from? Are you going to send me to Grandpa Lu?"

Tong Tingkai was amused by him and laughed, Lu Xingxue also pursed his lips, and Jiang Lin touched the baby son's round head: "Fool, where did the little kid come from? Of course it was born by your sister!"

Tong Junhao plunged into Jiang Lin's arms: "Don't worry! Anyway, you are not allowed to send me away!"

Jiang Lin: "Of course I won't send you away, you are mother's baby bump."

……

The heavy European-style dining chairs were placed very close, and Jiang Ci was next to Lu Xingxue, feeling really restless, speechless and embarrassed.

A perfunctory "consideration" exposed Jiang Lin and Tong Tingkai's thoughts.

Jiang Lin kneaded Tong Junhao for a while like kneading dough, and looked at the entrance and exit of the restaurant: "Aren't the crabs steamed yet? Let me check in the kitchen."

Jiang Ci: "I'll go."

Before Jiang Lin could say anything, she pushed away the chair and went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Aunt Wu was paying attention to the steamer. When Jiang Ci came in, the steamer had just finished counting.

"Okay?" Jiang Ci asked her.

"A Ci", Aunt Wu greeted her with a smile: "Are you in a hurry? It will be ready soon."

"No rush." ​​Jiang Ci walked to the window and opened it wide.

The night wind blew in, bringing with it the fresh smell of the lawn outside the courtyard, and the depressed mood was much calmed down.

Aunt Wu took out the crabs one by one and put them on the plate: "A Ci, I will serve the crabs to the table first, please bring some dipping sauce."

Jiang Ci responded, "Okay."

Aunt Wu went out with a whole plate of hairy crabs, and met Lu Xingxue at the kitchen door.Aunt Wu smiled at Lu Xingxue, and Lu Xingxue smiled back.

After Aunt Wu walked away, Lu Xingxue stepped into the kitchen and asked Jiang Ci, "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong? I don't think you look well."

Lu Xingxue got closer and closer, Jiang Ci didn't say a word at first, then took a long breath and looked directly at her: "Why don't you reject them directly?"

Lu Xingxue didn't answer, Jiang Ci lowered her voice: "You shouldn't give them hope, we still have more than a year to-"

The sound stopped abruptly.

Lu Xingxue's fingertips slid across Jiang Ci's face, and picked her hair that was blown by the wind behind her ears.Then it seemed that Jiang Ci had just realized that Jiang Ci had spoken, staring at Jiang Ci's eyes warmly, and asked her softly: "I'm sorry I was a little distracted, what did you just say?"

Jiang Ci heard her own heartbeat, and there was a "bang".

Lu Xingxue waited for several seconds, but Jiang Ci never spoke again, so she picked up the dipping sauce on the cooking table: "Let's go out, they are waiting."

After Lu Xingxue sat down, Jiang Ci's heartbeat gradually returned to normal.

She turned her head to look at Lu Xingxue beside her. Lu Xingxue was skillfully peeling the crab shells, as if she had eyes on her head, knowing that Jiang Ci was looking at her. She compared the crab in her hand and turned to ask: "Do you want it?" ?”

Jiang Ci: "...I will do it myself."

Lu Xingxue put the peeled crab into the dinner plate in front of Jiang Ci.

Jiang Lin's face was full of unconcealed relief and joy.

The people at the table ate dinner with their own minds, until the door was slammed open.Tong Zhenni walked like flying on high heels, and she was still far away from the dining table, so she threw her bag over!

The small light-colored sachet was smashed into the crab dipping sauce impartially, the sauce splashed and the basin was overturned.

Tong Zhenni screamed hysterically: "Why did you do such a disgusting thing! Are you my father!?"
