Summertime

In recent days, Mi is very busy, busy with meetings, business trips, overtime work, and entertainment. Su Xi hardly sees Mi at home. Su Xi often has a vague consciousness when she is half awake and half asleep on the bed. When someone lay down next to her, the smell of alcohol, the sound of sultry breathing, and the touch of the rough stubble on the nape of her neck seemed to disturb Su Xi's sleepiness after she finally recovered. The hot and humid hands with intertwined fingers continued to sleep, and the people beside him would not get close again, but turned around and fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, Su Xi was always alone on the bed. Almost every time she would miss Xiaomi's time to get up, because she knew that Xiaomi would make some breakfast for Tongtong, and then send Tongtong to kindergarten before going to the company.Su Xi doesn't have the habit of breakfast. She likes to go to bed late and wake up late, just like when she was a student.In this way, if Xiaomi is too busy with work, Su Xi will hardly see Xiaomi several times a week.Mi told her that the company has been busy expanding its overseas share recently, and plans to establish a subsidiary in New York. In the future, meetings, entertainment, and business trips in the company will become more and more frequent, so I may not be able to spare much time to accompany her. Su Xi felt bored, so she got together with Xizao more often.

Millet is not at home often, and Su Xi does feel that the days at home are getting more and more boring. Apart from taking care of Tong Tong, Su Xi has almost nothing to do, but now Tong Tong has gone to kindergarten, and her daughter's life has become Working from nine to five, plus Tongtong's mother-in-law loves her granddaughter and likes to take Tongtong home for a short stay every three days, Su Xi is even more leisurely. She has been meeting Xizao almost all this week. For some lunches, she would choose to drive to a restaurant near CouCi to eat with Tibet, or stay overnight at Xizao’s house on a whim. When Xizao is not busy, she likes to watch Xizao cook for herself. When Zao got busy, she would choose to go to the bar, drink a few cocktails, dance, or play billiards with Brother Feng and the others, but Su Xi didn't know why she seemed to become more and more restless. When Xi Zao was with her, this This kind of emotional fluctuation is not obvious, but when she is alone, she will always be inexplicably upset and lost. At first, she thought that her life was becoming more and more irregular, or that she was not used to being alone, but it was not until that Wednesday. At noon, Su Xi had to overthrow all the explanations she thought were reasonable.

That Wednesday, she drove to CouCi as usual, Su Xi didn't call Xizao to tell Xizao, because she knew that Xizao would be waiting for her downstairs in Couci, but when she was near Couci, Xizao sent a WeChat message, and she Said that she couldn't go to dinner with her at noon, Su Xi asked her why, it took a long time for the phone to reply, Xi Zao sent a long paragraph of text, but from that lengthy explanation, Su Xi only saw Zhou Mi's two words.

Zizao wants to eat with another person, and that person is millet.

Su Xi's car was parked on the side of the boulevard, diagonally opposite the car window, Su Xi watched a man and a woman walk out of the gate of CouCi talking and laughing, the familiar man lowered his head and scratched the woman's head affectionately, bent over She opened the car door for the woman, and then the two of them got into the car and drove away. As for the doting smile on the man's face, Su Xi had never seen that kind of smile before. It was so strange, because she had never smiled at herself like this before. Pass.

This time, Su Xi still chose to laugh it off.

At noon on Thursday, Su Xi didn't look for Xizao for dinner. In the afternoon, she called and asked Mi if she would go home for dinner. Mi agreed, but at [-] o'clock in the evening, Mi hurriedly called and told Su Xi that because He couldn't come back for the impromptu meeting at night.

"Understood, come back early tonight."

Su Xi chose to accept it, and accepted it without complaint, but the western food that she spent two hours cooking in the kitchen was dumped into the trash can one by one.

That day, Mi still didn't return home until early in the morning, but Mi, who was drunk on the bed, hugged Su Xi into her arms, and promised her that he would leave work early tomorrow to pick up Tongtong from school, so that Xizao and The two of them had a good time.

On Friday, Su Xi packed up all her emotions, simply packed her luggage, and was ready to pick up Xizao when she got off work. Su Xi thought that a relaxing trip and a trip could clear up her boring mood.But on the way to CouCi, a phone call suddenly rang, disrupting all of Su Xi's plans.

"Hello."

"Hello, are you Zhou Tongtong's parent?"

On the other end of the phone, Su Xi could vaguely hear intermittent crying, and she frowned.

"Yes, I am Tongtong's mother."

"Tongtong said that her father would come to pick her up, but it's been more than half an hour after school. The only child here is Tongtong who has not been picked up. I can't get through to Tongtong's father. Look at you now Can you come over here..."

That call from the kindergarten made Su Xi's originally happy mood turn extremely bad in an instant. She subconsciously called Xiaomi, but after calling three or four times, there was still no answer on that end.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the car had already passed the intersection of Xintiandi. At this time, Su Xi's heart was in a mess and she couldn't bear the rest of the journey. She turned the steering wheel and hurried to Tongtong Kindergarten.

The rush hour on the return trip, and the weekend is approaching, the spacious road is like a blocked pipe, even if the traffic police step up to clear it, the flow seems to be stagnant, getting slower and slower, and the cars in front are always non-stop Braking, starting, braking, the front windshield of the car flashed a red light from the taillights of the car, which made people feel angry for no reason. The sky was getting dark, and rows of tall street lights were already on beside the crowded road. After a while, the surrounding area was filled with pungent car exhaust, which was extremely turbid.Su Xi called Mi's number again and again, but no one answered. She angrily threw the phone at the co-pilot, and irritatedly slapped the horn on the steering wheel, over and over again.

When she arrived at the kindergarten, it was already past [-]:[-] in the evening. Su Xi closed the car door and ran into the school gate in a panic. She saw Tong Tong sitting on the bench outside the doorman, lowering her head as if sobbing. Su Xi's nose twitched. She yelled Tongtong's name loudly. Under the dim light, when the little girl sitting next to the doorman heard her name being called, she hurriedly raised her head, got up hurriedly, and rushed forward to rush towards the person who was running over. Man, the little girl cried even harder.

After some care, comfort, and apology, Tong Tong finally stopped crying. When the two returned home, it was already [-]:[-]. It was only then that Su Xi realized that she had forgotten to tell Xizao that the weekend trip was cancelled. .

Su Xi hurriedly picked up the phone. She wanted to make a call, but after a moment of hesitation, she gave up the urge to press the green dial button. Now she was in no mood and didn't have any energy to explain to Xizao. In the end, Su Xi chose A simple short message instead of a cumbersome explanation.

Explaining is useless, not to mention she has more important things to do.

Just after sending the text message, the phone rang suddenly, and Xiaomi called.

Su Xi answered, the voice on the other end of the phone was anxious and flustered, but the person who answered the phone was expressionless and silent. She just wanted to hear a reasonable explanation.

And what Mi meant was that he was so busy with the company today that he forgot to pick up Tongtong, and the reason why he couldn't answer Su Xi's repeated calls was because he was in a meeting at the time, and the phone Left him in the office.

"I just saw it when I came out after the meeting, sorry!"

On the other end of the phone, those three words, that sentence of sorry, Mi's words were full of apology and remorse, but Su Xi only had bursts of sneering.

"I'll take you and Xizao to Wuzhen tomorrow, okay?"

Mi Mi anxiously wanted to make up for it, to redeem it, but Su Xi no longer needed it.

"I'm not going."

After finishing speaking, Su Xi just cut off the phone, threw it on the sofa, eased her livid face, put her hair up and walked into the kitchen. Tongtong hasn't eaten yet, no matter how angry she is now, the matter between her and Mi must be put on hold. She has to take care of Tongtong first.

"Mommy, your phone keeps ringing."

Holding the Barbie doll in her arms, Tongtong pointed to the sofa and shouted towards the kitchen.

"Leave it alone!"

Su Xi didn't realize how terrifying her sudden voice was, because she didn't see that the daughter behind her was so frightened that her body shook and she didn't dare to speak anymore, her eyes were filled with fear.

When it was almost 21:[-], Xiaomi finally came back.

The two or three dishes on the dinner table were already completely cold. Tongtong was the same as usual. After eating, he lay down on the sofa and watched the cat and mouse on the TV with relish, while Su Xi sat on the dinner table and watched The two or three dishes of dishes on the table were in a daze, and the movement of the pendulum made Su Xi's chest swell. Her breathing became a little short, and her heart couldn't help but become chaotic. She barely touched the rice in front of her. However, those children fell on the seats, and the rice grains and vegetable juices on the dining table made her more and more angry, and even the screams and messy background music from the TV It also became a kind of terrible noise pollution, so that Su Xi almost didn't want to rush forward and smash the TV that made the noise into pieces all over the floor.

The moment Su Xi stood up and walked towards the TV in the living room, the door of the entrance was hastily opened, and a panting face appeared at the entrance of the entrance.

The moment Su Xi saw Mi, the emotions accumulated little by little finally broke out.

Su Xi couldn't help but want to have a big fight, but facing her scolding, questioning, and chattering, Mi always kept her head down and didn't fight back.

He is as useless as before.

But the more Miu was like this, Su Xi became more and more angry. Su Xi couldn't control the corners of her mouth that spoke viciously, and she became more and more unreasonable.

She sarcastically said, "Yes, you are busy every day, too busy to go home, too busy to pick up the children, how can you spare a lot of time to share lunch with Zizao when you are so busy, oh, eat with Zizao It’s become official business for you, too!”

She sneered, "Did you remember that today, your daughter was replaced by Xizao!"

She scolded, "Then you go and live with her, what are you doing running back!"

She roared, "Xizao, Xizao, Xizao, what else can you remember besides Xizao!"

Zhou Mi's silence only got ridicule and sarcasm again and again. Zhou Mi could bear it before, because he knew that Xi's words were just a moment of anger, not from the heart, but this time, Zhou Mi Mi can't convince herself any more, Xi's words are too much, every word she says deliberately adds Xizao's name, full of malice from the bottom of her heart, Zhou Mi can't bear her to hide her deep feelings for herself. Yu Xin's ruthless exposure, and the cynicism and contempt for it.

Except for Zhou Mi, no one can comment on this obscure relationship, no one!

"enough!"

The exquisite ceramic vase placed in the corner of the living room was slammed by Zhou Mi, and fell heavily to the ground. The moment the fragile vase collided with the hard ground, the wreckage and debris instantly flew around, making a terrifying sound of shattering. The scattered flowers were scratched by sharp fragments, and the cold water gushed out to the surroundings splashed Su Xi's ankles, but the water in summer made people feel extraordinarily icy cold for no reason.

Finally, Su Xi's reckless personal attack came to an end. She suddenly realized how stupid her crazy actions were just now. She panicked. She subconsciously took a step forward and made a gesture of extending her hand. She wanted to ask the stranger in front of her to stay

Because Su Xi had never seen such a millet, including the disappointment, anger, and exposed fragility on his face.

"Milk!"

boom--

The door at the entrance was slammed shut, and there was a terrible crash, which made the child who was hiding in the corner, suppressing a small cry, tremble with fright, and began to cry loudly.

Millet did not come home that night.
