She Belongs To Me

Huo Zhenzhen pulled off her mask, without saying what she wanted, Xiao A refilled her water tacitly, and handed the water glass to her.Huo Zhenzhen drank the water with a smile, returned the cup to Xiao A, and said to Jiang Ci: "Wait, sister will take you to eat delicious food soon after finishing."

As he spoke, he put the mask back on and lowered his head to paint the rest of the customer's calf tattoo.

It took Jiang Ci a while to react, "Oh", and walked to the small sofa for receiving guests with frivolous steps, feeling drowsy.

When Huo Zhenzhen finished her work, washed her hands and came out, Jiang Ci covered her coat and leaned on the armrest of the sofa and fell asleep.

Huo Zhenzhen went up to touch her forehead.

"What's wrong? Sister Ah Ci is sick?" Little A leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Huo Zhenzhen tried her forehead temperature again, unsure: "You don't seem to have a fever?"

Little A: "When she first came in, I saw that she was not in a good condition and her complexion was very bad."

Huo Zhenzhen posted it up again to test the temperature, Jiang Ci opened her eyes in a daze: "...Zhenzhen?"

Huo Zhenzhen: "What's going on? What's wrong?"

Jiang Ci: "I didn't rest well at night, and I tuned two shows in the afternoon, so I'm a little tired."

Huo Zhenzhen: "Then wake up and get up, let's go out to eat."

Jiang Ci said "um", took a while, and put on her coat.After finishing cleaning, Huo Zhenzhen took Jiang Ci's arm affectionately and took her downstairs together.

"Little A and us—" Jiang Ci looked back at Little A.

Little A smiled with a row of white teeth, and the sun was shining brightly: "You go, I will guard the shop."

What else did Jiang Ci say, Huo Zhenzhen pulled her out: "Little A has good eyesight, don't disappoint his kindness."

Jiang Ci: "Huh?"

Huo Zhenzhen: "Are you still 'ah'? You look like this, since you're not sick, then you have something on your mind? He deliberately didn't go, so that you can talk to me about what's on your mind."

Jiang Ci didn't deny it either: "Oh."

Huo Zhenzhen imitated her: "Oh."

The two of them didn't go far, they went to the porridge shop not far from the studio, Huo Zhenzhen felt that the porridge was not tasty enough, so she asked the barbecue shop next door to send over a lot of skewers.

She drank beer, ate barbecue, and drank porridge with Jiang Ci, but Jiang Ci didn't speak, and she didn't rush.

The neon lights were on, and the small restaurant was buzzing with people, and no one was talking at their table, Jiang Ci's cell phone rang in his pocket first.She took it out and turned off the sound, and didn't answer until the brightness of the screen went out.

Huo Zhenzhen stretched her neck, wondering: "Wen Nian? Why didn't you answer?"

Jiang Ci put down the phone: "...I don't know what to say when I pick it up."

"Are you two having conflicts?" Huo Zhenzhen took a sip of beer, "Speaking of Wen Nian, I didn't know until I went to that party last night. It was a celebration party for her resuming singleness organized by her friend. But she didn't play It’s been a while since it disappeared, and we’ll be able to find it.”

The spoon in Jiang Ci's hand touched the mouth of the bowl, and in a crisp voice, she raised her head and said, "She came to look for me last night."

Huo Zhenzhen wondered: "Why are you looking for you? Didn't you say no, you want to see your mother with Lu Xingxue?"

"She..." Jiang Ci pursed her lips, speaking slowly and with difficulty: "She took me to Yushui Nanyuan, and she bought the house I lived in before."

Seeing her dazed appearance, Huo Zhenzhen thought more and more something was wrong: "Her? Buy the house you lived in before?"

Jiang Ci: "Yes."

Huo Zhenzhen stopped eating, and asked cautiously: "What does she mean?"

Jiang Ci lowered her eyes: "Didn't you guess it?"

Huo Zhenzhen sucked in a big breath of cold air: "...Fuck me!"

She leaned over and lowered her voice: "Is that what I think?"

Jiang Ci focused on what Wen Nian said to her last night to Huo Zhenzhen.Huo Zhenzhen opened her mouth wide the whole time, her face was full of "shit".

"No wonder you don't go home today, and you come here with a lot of thoughts. Wen Nian with your left hand, Lu Xingxue with your right hand... No, before I saw you, it seemed that you had completely let go of Wen Nian. When she turned around, you were shaken?"

"I don't know." Jiang Ci said: "I'm sure I like Lu Xingxue, but for Wen Nian... I can't tell how I feel about her now, I just feel so distressed, I can't breathe when I think about the past Get angry."

Huo Zhenzhen: "After all, it's the person you've loved for so many years.... If I were you, I'd bury my head in the sand and start for a month, wouldn't it be crazy?"

Although Huo Zhenzhen's statement is exaggerated, Jiang Ci is indeed escaping from reality.

The porridge in the casserole was steaming, and Jiang Ci's expression was a little fuzzy through the layer of steam.Huo Zhenzhen brushed away the leftover empty lottery and said hesitantly: "...Let me, let me say a few words, just listen to it if it makes sense, and forget it if you don't think it makes sense."

Jiang Ci cheered up and looked at Huo Zhenzhen: "Well, I'm listening."

Huo Zhenzhen: "Wen Nian...Wen Nian was able to abandon you in order to seize power at such a young age, it can be seen that she has a lot of scheming. Look at her methods, don't you think it's scary now? Marriage, pregnancy, miscarriage, divorce, that kind of thing After the process is over, she has already become a pivotal figure in the four seasons. Now she is on a firm footing, but no one can tell if she will give up on you again because of other things. No one can guarantee that, Right? And the relationship will change, you are not the you before, and she is not the her before, and you may not be happy if you are tied together, maybe it is just obsession."

Huo Zhenzhen drank a few sips of beer to moisten her throat, and then continued: "Lu Xingxue's side seems to be going smoothly, and they are simply the most perfect marriage partner, but you have a knot in your heart, you can't get it forever It is the best, and it is hard to guarantee that the friction with Lu Xingxue will not be magnified. As time goes on, it is not impossible to become a resentful spouse with Lu Xingxue. Besides, you still have an agreement to marry, and your relationship has not been put on the table. In case, I am What if, what if she doesn't have that kind of meaning for you, and she plans to divorce and leave as soon as the contract expires?"

Jiang Ci shook her head: "This is not a multiple-choice question. There is no need to pull them out to analyze their pros and cons and compare them one by one. Whether Lu Xingxue likes me or not is not a factor that affects my judgment."

Huo Zhenzhen snapped her fingers: "You are right, the key is not who likes you, but who you like—or who you like now. You have to ask yourself, who is happier with you now, and who Who will give you the feeling of a stable home together? Then when it’s broken, it’s broken, and don’t regret it when you make a decision!”

The phone on the table was on again, this time Huo Zhenzhen didn't look at it, Jiang Ci glanced at the screen and picked it up without thinking.

"Lu Xingxue." That's what she called the person on the other end of the phone.

Huo Zhenzhen just took a bite of the skewered meat, and the meat got stuck in her throat, causing her to cough up an earth-shattering cough.

Jiang Ci turned slightly: "Zhenzhen and I are having dinner... Is grandpa here? No, no, I'm going back now."

After a few words, Jiang Ci hung up the phone, and Huo Zhenzhen wiped away the tears she coughed up: "Haven't you already made a decision? Wen Nian didn't answer the phone, but you answered Lu Xingxue's call quickly."

Jiang Ci explained to her: "Lu Xingxue was allergic at noon today, and I was the victim of it. I'm worried that something is wrong with her."

Huo Zhenzhen: "..."

Huo Zhenzhen sighed: "I used to envy the heroines of idol dramas who are cute, but now that you look like this, I don't envy you any more. One-to-one relationships are the most fulfilling."

Jiang Ci: "Let your one-on-one eat with you, I'll go first, Lu Xingxue's grandpa is here."

Huo Zhenzhen: "I think there's no need to talk about Wen Nian and I's work."

Jiang Ci frowned: "Why do you think so? There's no need. If it's suitable, the next step will be great."

"Do you really think I'm stupid? No matter whether I have the strength or not, the premise of her giving me a job is because of your face. I don't want this to be a factor that affects your judgment, even if it affects it so slightly.—— I have to be neutral!" Huo Zhenzhen squinted her eyes and smiled, and finally waved her hand at Jiang Ci: "Let's go, let's go, remember to take good care of my girlfriend who is allergic because of you."

Jiang Ci hurried home, Aunt Zhuang was busy in the kitchen, Lu Xingxue moved the chessboard to the living room, and was playing chess with grandpa.

"Aci is off work." Grandpa Lu beckoned, and said lovingly, "Come and help Grandpa see, how does this move go?"

Jiang Ci went over, Lu Xingxue was wearing a turtleneck sweater, except for the face and hands, the rest of the skin was covered by underwear, and her face was still red.She stared at Jiang Ci, the self-blame and guilt in Jiang Ci's heart surged one after another, and she subconsciously avoided her gaze.

"Grandpa." Jiang Ci sat down beside Grandpa Lu: "I don't know how to play Go."

"Xiaobai can play chess." Grandpa Lu took off his glasses, put them on the chessboard, and said to Lu Xingxue, "That's not the case. Without foreign aid, you won't give up even a dime."

Lu Xingxue lowered his eyes and smiled.

Grandpa Lu picked up the cane, and remembered something: "Eh? Xiaobai, your...skin care products, didn't you use them for Aci? Don't use them soon."

Jiang Ci didn't understand what he meant for a while, skin care products?

Lu Xingxue spoke, her voice still a little hoarse: "She doesn't use it. And it should be just a case like mine that doesn't apply."

Grandpa Lu disagreed: "Don't take it lightly, allergies can be big or small."

Lu Xingxue: "I know, I won't touch that brand in the future."

The cane was stuck on the floor, and Grandpa Lu said: "We are all together, let's have dinner."

Jiang Ci understood.With the look on Lu Xingxue's face, it was impossible for Grandpa Lu not to ask, and Lu Xingxue concealed the truth from his grandpa.

Grandpa Lu walked slowly to the restaurant, Jiang Ci and Lu Xingxue cleaned up the chessboard together.Jiang Ci picked up white pieces, Lu Xingxue picked up black pieces, their fingers touched on the chessboard, Jiang Ci withdrew his hand, Lu Xingxue lowered his head and said: "...I didn't know that grandpa would come over suddenly, he said go Visiting friends, drop by us on the way back.”

Her hoarse voice tormented Jiang Ci's nerves, and Jiang Ci asked, "Why are you lying?"

Lu Xingxue put his finger in his lips, and then pointed to Grandpa Lu's back, signaling Jiang Ci not to mention it again, lest he hear it.

Jiang Ci turned her head away, feeling sore in her heart, how could she not know why Lu Xingxue lied.Lu Xingxue picked her out cleanly, not letting his grandfather know, in the end, he was still thinking about her.

Grandpa so precious, the only granddaughter, if she knew the truth, even if she didn't express it in person, she would have some thoughts in her heart.

At the dining table, Jiang Ci and Lu Xingxue had their own thoughts, and they had no appetite for the delicious food on the table.

Grandpa Lu looked at this and then at that: "Xiaobai, the company's annual meeting is almost ready, right?"

"It's almost there." Lu Xingxue said as he gave him some vegetables.

"I didn't see A Ci last year. If you have time this year, you might as well go and have fun." Grandpa Lu blocked Lu Xingxue: "You and A Ci should eat more."

Lu Xingxue put the dish back on his plate, hesitated, and gave Jiang Cibu a spoonful.

Jiang Ci couldn't see her being so careful, so she turned around and asked her, "When is the annual meeting?"

Lu Xingxue answered lightly: "No. 20."

"Well, I'll go." Jiang Ci smiled at Grandpa Lu, and added a spoonful of food to Lu Xingxue in front of him.
