There is a pregnant woman at home

When Xiao Xiao and Bai Xiaocai entered the door, Ye Chenger was holding the little meatballs to greet them.

The little princess pursed her lips and looked displeased, but since the person holding her was regarded as her favourite, she took it easy and didn't get angry.

The mother and daughter of the Ji family plunged into the crowd early and couldn't see their shadows. Ye Chenger, who had been "welcoming guests" for two hours, let out a soft breath, put the protagonist of the banquet into Xiaocui's arms, and knocked He beat his arms and legs, and smiled as naturally as possible: "Come?"

Xiao Xiao nodded: "En."

On the contrary, Bai Xiaocai, who was extremely boring in my impression, did not speak for the first time.

In fact, in the eyes of the rich, this so-called "hundred-day banquet" is just a small party to connect with each other and talk about business. Even the banquet scene is set in the gazebo near the outdoor garden, decorated with flowers and colorful decorations. Lamps, snacks and various beverages are placed on floor-to-ceiling trays. Everyone can stand or sit, eat, drink or chat as they please, but it is also very free and comfortable.

The three of them held a glass of wine each, and found a place where there were fewer people to stand. They were silent for a long time, but they didn't seem to know what to say.

For a moment, Xiao Xiaoxian still smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for such a long time, you are fine, aren't you?"

Ye Chenger nodded: It's good, it's just that I've been a little tired recently, and I'm a little confused, I can't see the way forward, I can't find it, the end.

"You..." she started, then paused, and when she said that again, it became: "Are you all doing well?"

Xiao Xiao reluctantly opened the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Well, it's good." For some reason, Ye Cheng'er saw that smile a bit bitterly.It was inexplicable again, she began to feel that even the atmosphere around her seemed to be a little awkward.Because, after being speechless again, the three of them once again fell into a suffocating silence.

Ye Chenger still felt somewhat self-conscious about his master, so he reluctantly tried to find something to say.

"Uh, you... came together?"

Xiao Xiao was startled, and then realized what she was referring to. After nodding, she explained: "Our hospital has several places, not only me and her, but also... other colleagues."

"Oh."

Unsurprisingly, he was silent again.Ye Chenger suddenly felt strange, no matter when they were friends before or when they were lovers later, she and Xiao Xiao never fell into such an embarrassment.But why did the situation change so much when he retreated from a lover to a friend again?

I used to hear people say that it is difficult for lovers to be friends again after breaking up, especially when one of them has no love but the other still has love.

If you stick too close, you will feel awkward and uncomfortable, after all, you no longer have that level of intimacy; but if you are too far away, you will appear unreasonable, because no matter what, there was such an intimate time, why? Can turn her face and treat her as a stranger?

Ye Chenger faintly began to understand, but seemed to have some new doubts: Then why, when she and Ji Luojue retreated to the position of friends, did she not face such a dilemma?

Maybe it's because... At that time, they still didn't forget each other...

Just as she was thinking, her mother, the protagonist of tonight's banquet, finally came over with a glass of wine, and helped Ye Chenger out of the situation by the way.

"You are here?"

Ji Luojue's smile was very natural, and there was nothing unusual about it, as if the two standing in front of her were just good friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and there was no other meaning besides that.Ye Chenger almost suspected that before the banquet started, her eccentric sentence "Wouldn't it be nice to give you a chance to meet your ex-girlfriend whom you've been thinking about so much?" was purely a figment of her own imagination.

"Luo Jue," Xiao Xiao smiled naturally, "Long time no see, you are beautiful again."

They are all able to exchange pleasantries in a calm manner. Could it be that... only you are a different kind?

"Hehe, Xiao Xiao's speech is still the most pleasant, no wonder so many people like it." Ji Luojue said, without a trace, she glanced at Ye Chenger who was standing opposite. He showed his loyalty, but his eyes quickly moved away.

"Then you guys talk first, I still have guests, come back later."

Xiao Xiao quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, you are busy, Xiaocai and I have something to do, we will leave after a while."

Ji Luojue was already about to leave, but when she heard the words, she turned back, looked at the two of them, and teased with a chuckle, "Could it be my invitation tonight, so what's wrong with you two?"

Xiao Xiao was slightly stunned, and after a while, an unnatural look flashed across his face: "The two of us... can something good happen. It's business, and we will go back to work the night shift soon."

Business... maybe even she didn't realize that this sentence had inadvertently revealed something.

Ye Chenger knew that Xiao Xiao never lied, so she and Bai Xiaocai should really have nothing to do.It's just that from her unnatural behavior, it can be seen that Bai Xiaocai has never been idle for the past two months, and she probably has been launching an offensive all the time, but the effect seems to be not as perfect as imagined.No wonder she was so preoccupied and morose all night.

Ji Luojue exchanged a few more casual words, then turned around and went back to greet other guests.

Xiao Xiao watched her walk away slowly, until her back was submerged in the crowd again, and then asked softly: "Cheng Er, you and Luo Jue, haven't you made up yet?"

She used the word "reconciliation", as if the two had just had a little conflict like an ordinary couple, and they could recover in the blink of an eye. What's even more inexplicably sad is that, in such an understatement, she It erased all traces of his existence in this relationship.

Ye Chenger shook her head: "No." She has always been determined, and her courage has never faded. It's just that she has done so many things recently, but it seems to have hit the cotton with a punch. She completely let go of her strength and let her I gradually lost my way in a daze.

"Actually, it's not easy for Luo Jue, and it's hard to love you all the time. No matter what, I hope you don't give up lightly."

Ye Chenger always felt that Xiao Xiao seemed to have something to say, but she hesitated for a long time, and what she finally vomited always made her puzzled, so she could only answer in a daze, and then asked: "In the future...do you have anything to say? Intend?"

Xiao Xiao smiled softly: "Do you mean work, or, something else?"

"Uh...you have everything, I hope you..." She originally wanted to say happiness, but the words turned into a light and light sentence: "Okay."

A person who has killed other people's happiness with his own hands, what qualifications does he have to say "I hope you are happy" here?

"Well, the job is pretty good now, and I may stay in Beijing recently. As for other things," she intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Bai Xiaocai, who had never said a word: "Let's go with fate. At least for now, I don't have any other ideas .”

Ye Chenger expected that she was not a person who could get out of the relationship easily, and he hated himself even more in his heart. He really shouldn't have "provoked" her so casually back then.

But what can I do then, a big mistake has already been made, even if I regret it, nothing can be undone.

The two casually said something else, after which Xiao Xiao and Bai Xiaocai stood up and said goodbye.Ye Chenger wanted to send them out, but Xiao Xiao smiled lightly and raised his hand to stop them: "No, you can help Luo Jue greet the guests, and if you have time, contact me again."

Ye Chenger found that after the reunion in Beijing, during the two meetings, whether Xiao Xiao spoke or laughed, he became very light and light, and completely lost the cheerfulness and straightforwardness of the past.

She felt uncontrollably uncomfortable and depressed for no reason.I have lived in a daze for nearly 30 years. I have achieved nothing in my career. In my life, I depended on others. Not to mention love, I went around for four or five years before I found out which one I really wanted, but I missed it for no reason. arrive.He even indirectly hurt another innocent and kind girl. Up to now, she has lost her lover and lost her friends. How can it be described as a failure? !

After sending the two away, Ye Chenger walked to an empty corner and stood alone. The more he thought about it, the sadder he felt, he simply picked up the wine glass in front of him and poured it into his mouth regardless.Those clear and mellow liquids can still feel some taste at first, but slowly, even the tongue begins to numb, and it becomes tasteless.

The noise gradually decreased a lot, until finally, it returned to calm.Ye Chenger thought he had fallen asleep by accident, and when he turned around to look in a daze, he realized that it was night and all the guests had dispersed.

She shook her head and got up, thinking that she should take the little princess to take a bath and change clothes at this moment, and then send her back to her room to sleep.But before she took two steps, she staggered, but fortunately, a hand suddenly reached out from her side and gently supported her.

"Thanks...thanks." Tongue was tied, and his articulation was a little unclear, probably because he was paralyzed by alcohol.But what's the use of just numbing the tongue, the feeling in my heart hasn't improved at all, so it's really unreliable to say that drinking to drown your sorrows.

She muttered and complained a few words, and it was only after a while that she realized that the person supporting her seemed to have been silent all this time.Maybe I didn't hear it?Thinking of this, she raised her head and said, "Thanks...huh? Mrs. Ji?"

Her head was a little foggy, and her vision was not clear enough, so she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, and when she put it down, she realized that the person in front of her hadn't changed.Then it's not an illusion... It's just, why did Mrs. Ji appear here?Could it be that he deliberately blamed himself not only for not entertaining guests well, but also for having the guts to get drunk?

Ye Chenger was a little guilty, and subconsciously opened his mouth to explain: "Mrs. Ji, I..."

"Drink so much wine. Why, in a bad mood?"

ah?Ye Chenger froze for a moment: It doesn't sound like a blame, what do you mean?

"How come you haven't improved at all for so many years. Apart from worrying about cowardice and escaping later, what else can you do?"

There is a saying called "wine is strong and courageous". For some reason, Ye Chenger's courage suddenly surged at this moment, and he didn't even want to retort: ​​"What you said...wrong! Why didn't I improve? I have traveled thousands of miles After chasing... over here, and making up my mind to let Luo Jue accept me again, how...how can I say that I haven't improved?"

"Oh?" The graceful and luxurious Mrs. Ji crossed her arms and looked at her for a long time: "If you are willing to chase, it means you have made progress? Is it rare for my little Jue to be chased since she was a child? But who has succeeded?"

"How can it be the same? I... Luo Jue has feelings for me, but for them... no!"

Mrs. Ji snorted softly through her nose: "Do you still know that she has feelings for you? It's not as stupid as I imagined. It's a pity that she has no brains."

Ye Chenger was dumbfounded by being scolded, Madam Ji gave her a look of resentment, and said speechlessly: "I really don't know why Xiaojue fell in love with such a stupefied young man like you? It's been so many years, what is she?" Don’t you understand people? You have a hard mouth and a soft heart, and you always refuse to bow your head easily. You are so bitter and have no bottom line to lower your body all the way to cater to her. When will you be a head?”

Ye Chenger nodded, then shook his head again, his eyes were full of confusion and thirst for knowledge, and he asked blankly, "What do you mean?"

"Don't know yet?"

"do not know."

Mrs. Ji looked over with a look of "disgust", and made the final explanation with the little patience left: "Her personality needs to be suppressed, not catered to. The more you cater to her, the more arrogant you will be, then this road is even more difficult. I'm headless, do you understand?"

Want to suppress, can't cater to?Could it be that... Ye Chenger looked up, and saw Mrs. Ji's last sentence: "You must know that when you meet the strong, you will be strong!"

Then turned around and left lightly...
