The obvious questioning tone made Xiao Zhe frown slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

However, before he had time to say anything, Guan Hang asked again, "I heard it just now, it must be Jin Shiqiao, why are you with him?"

Hearing the other party's very unhappy tone, Xiao Zhe's heart burst into flames. He really wanted to ask Guan Hang, what does this have to do with you?Can't I have a private space without the freedom to socialize with friends?But because Jin Shiqiao was still nearby, Xiao Zhe didn't want to get angry with Guan Hang. After all, family ugliness should not be publicized. No matter what his identity is, he should save face for Guan Hang.

"Let's talk about something when you come back."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhe hung up the phone calmly, not giving Guan Hang any further questioning nor giving Jin Shiqiao a chance to spy.

Jin Shiqiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you been investigated?"

Xiao Zhe glanced at him and replied, "Here we are, stop the car, thank you for today."

Jin Shiqiao stopped the car as he said, but still looked at Xiao Zhe firmly, relying on some intuition and guesswork, but said firmly, "What happened? You know how bad you look. ?"

Xiao Zhe was stunned for a moment subconsciously, and then looked in the rearview mirror, his face was reflected in the mirror, still gentle and handsome but slightly tired, but that was all.After examining himself, Xiao Zhe replied, "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't had a good rest these days."

Jin Shiqiao shook his head and said, "Don't fool me, what I said is that you don't look good."

Xiao Zhe couldn't help laughing, and said, "Can you still see through my spirit?"

Jin Shiqiao suddenly stretched out his hand to touch Xiao Zhe's face, Xiao Zhe frowned, and his eyes instantly turned cold, but Jin Shiqiao just adjusted the rearview mirror of the car to face Xiao Zhe's face.

Under his action, Xiao Zhe once again looked at himself in the mirror.That very familiar face was also staring at him expressionlessly at this time, with a trace of indescribable alienation and indifference, and under the cover of these appearances was the panic and anxiety that had been suppressed all the time.

Jin Shiqiao still looked at Xiao Zhe, with a hint of nostalgia and infatuation in his eyes, and he said, "You look preoccupied and tired, and you look like you are struggling. Even I can tell , I don't believe that Guan Hang who lives with you can't feel it, why doesn't he stay by your side at this time? Why doesn't he share your worries?"

Xiao Zhe recovered his confusion for a moment, his expression turned cold again, and he said bluntly, "This is my private and family matter, so you don't need to worry about it."

Jin Shiqiao pursed his lower lip, with a hurt expression on his face, then smiled at himself and said, "I just care about you, don't be so cruel..."

Xiao Zhe pushed the door and got out of the car, then took out his crutches from the back seat, and walked towards the corridor without looking back.

Jin Shiqiao looked at his back, his expression became serious, and he murmured, "I thought you had a good life... If you knew it earlier, you should have done it earlier..."

If you knew it earlier, you should have approached you and your life earlier.Jin Shiqiao recalled that when Xiao Zhe categorically rejected him, he was so energetic and confident at that time, he said that he only loved Guan Hang in his life, he said that Guan Hang would never betray him, he said their feelings Others are absolutely not allowed to intervene, so although I was not reconciled at that time, I had to give up and give up.

At that time, it was the age when it was hard to tell the difference between passionate and promiscuous, but it was the first time for Jin Shiqiao to feel dedicated affection. When he pursued Xiao Zhe with all his heart, it was definitely true affection.But the first time the true love was so rejected and hit, the proud and proud he could not forget it, but he didn't want to stalk him anymore, but he also left Xiao Zhe a word, waiting for him to break up with Guan Hang On that day, I must pursue him again openly.

Jin Shiqiao would occasionally inquire about Xiao Zhe's current situation, knowing that he was doing well, he would feel a little depressed, but at the same time he felt relieved.However, until he heard that he had been in a car accident and was hospitalized, he finally couldn't help it, and ran over to visit him personally. It was also that visit that made him feel that Xiao Zhe seemed to have changed, not as confident and calm as before, but like a Forced by life and pressure to become a nervous and exhausted middle-aged man, he feels restless from the inside out. This is completely different from Xiao Zhe in his memory. This is not the happy and worry-free life he thought. Xiao Zhe!

Jin Shiqiao turned around and drove away. At the same time, he made up his mind that he must figure out Xiao Zhe's current situation. If there is a problem with his relationship with Guan Hang, if Guan Hang really can't take good care of him, then don't blame yourself for preparing for it. It's a stab.

Xiao Zhe got off the elevator, and the moment he entered his house, his injured foot suddenly went limp and he felt overwhelmed, so he staggered and almost fell to the ground.Standing up in some embarrassment, Xiao Zhe put the crutches away, walked slowly to the sofa and sat down.

Bending down and gently pressing his ankles, when he raised his body again, he suddenly and furiously swept everything on the coffee table in front of him to the ground. The ashtrays were smashed to pieces.Xiao Zhe stared at the mess on the ground with a pale face, then collapsed and fell backwards, the whole person sank on the wide and soft sofa, he grabbed a cushion and hugged it tightly, burying his face On the top, I gradually took back my uncontrollable emotions.

As if surprised by his sudden outburst of emotion just now, Xiao Zhe sat on the sofa for a long time before standing up silently, and then began to clean the debris on the floor.Because he couldn't sweep it up, he squatted down and picked them up one by one and threw them into the trash bag.

When picking up the half ashtray, Xiao Zhe was in a daze again. This ashtray... I remember that I chose it myself. When I first lived with Guan Hang, the two spent a lot of thought on arranging it. That small family, but later because of some problems in Guan Hang's business and needing cash flow, they had to sell that house, and sold the first home owned by the two of them.

Unknowingly, my thoughts went back to many years ago, Guan Hang's annoyed and distressed expression was still vivid in my memory, the two moved to the rented house, Guan Hang brought everything he could bring with red eyes, including this Nice looking but very bulky ashtray.Later, this ashtray moved to another house with them, and then moved here together, but it was used less and less often, because there was a child in the family, Guan Hang forced himself to quit smoking, although He hasn't quit smoking completely but he will resist smoking at home.As for the first house that was sold that year, Guan Hang didn't know what thought and price Guan Hang spent to buy it back, and recorded it under Xiao Zhe's name.

The fingers holding the fragments couldn't help but exert force, and the sudden tingling sensation made Xiao Zhe wake up from the trance. He threw all the remaining fragments into the garbage bag and then walked to the bathroom sink after disposing of them. Rinse your fingers before turning on the faucet.Xiao Zhe's palm was washed with warm water, and the half-dried blood was washed away, leaving only a shallow white wound.

On the contrary, the pain calmed Xiao Zhe's violent and frenzied heart. He looked at himself in the mirror, slightly raised the corners of his mouth and tried to show a smile, but with such a pale face and gray eyes, even when he was smiling, he couldn't see it. It didn't feel happy at all.Xiao Zhe stretched out his hand to himself in the mirror, and lightly touched the cold mirror surface with his fingertips, Xiao Zhe asked, "How did you become like this?"

Is it really me who is anxious, flustered, depressed, and looks extremely neurotic?Xiao Zhe shook his head, no...you can't go on like this anymore, if you let yourself go on like this, then what's the point of being alive again?

If you can't cheer yourself up and continue to live optimistically, if you let yourself fall into such a bad state after rebirth, then you might as well just die.

Like enlightenment, Xiao Zhe felt that he suddenly wanted to open up. What was he struggling with before?I want to know when Zheng Yuan and Guan Hang started to betray me, I want to know how they are sorry for me, but what can I do if I know?revenge?After that?It will definitely feel more disgusting and unbearable. In the final analysis, it is still to add to yourself, or let yourself live in entanglement and pain.

Xiao Zhe, who suddenly figured it out, finally smiled. This time, he no longer curled the corners of his mouth reluctantly, but showed a slight smile as if he was relieved.Xiao Zhe turned around and walked out of the bathroom, deciding to prepare dinner himself to welcome the children who were about to leave school.

Because of his own psychological problems, the children were very disturbed during this period. Xiao Zhe couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he thought of this. He was so focused on Guan Hang and Zheng Yuanfan that he forgot that in his own world, children are also the most important.

When Sister Li came in the afternoon and saw Xiao Zhe preparing ingredients in the kitchen, she was taken aback for a moment, and then said happily, "Mr. Xiao, are you going to cook by yourself today?"

"I'll just stew beef, and I'll have to trouble Sister Li to do the rest."

Xiao Zhe nodded, with a slight smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. He was originally gentle and handsome, but this faint smile now has a bit of warmth, making people look like a spring breeze.

Seeing Xiao Zhe like this, Sister Li felt warm in her heart. She quickly prepared the vegetables she bought and said, "Then I will cook a piece of fish, make sweet and sour pork ribs, and stir-fry vegetables. Cook some soup?"

Xiao Zhe shook his head and said, "Don't want the soup, they don't like soup."

Sister Li said, "Then let's add another cold dish, so as not to be enough... By the way, Mr. Guan will come back to eat together today, or is it just you and the two children?"

Xiao Zhe said, "We should eat together. Just follow your original recipe. Both Xinxin and Miaomiao eat a lot now."

Sister Li agreed, and began to prepare silently. However, she noticed Xiao Zhe's relaxed and cheerful appearance from time to time, and finally couldn't help but said, "Actually, it's not easy for a family to live. How can there be a time when the pots and pans don't touch the pans?" I have been working here for several years. I really think Mr. Xiao, you and Mr. Guan are living a good life. They have a better relationship than ordinary couples. Xinxin and Miaomiao are so smart and well-behaved. People are happy to see it.”

Xiao Zhe turned around and smiled at her, and said, "Sister Li, you want to persuade me not to vomit with Guan Hang, right?"

He used declarative sentences instead of asking questions. Sister Li smiled a little embarrassed when she heard it, and said, "Oh, I shouldn't talk about it. This is your private matter, but I have been unhappy for a while. I always feel a little worried, Mr. Guan is not happy if you are not happy, even Xiao Miaomiao is not happy..."

Xiao Zhe still smiled and said nothing.

Sister Li thought for a while, and then said, "There is no overnight feud in the family, and it is better than anything else to be kind and happy."

After saying this, Sister Li really felt that she had overreached, so she shook her head, a little annoyed about too many things, but she finally felt relieved after saying these words.

Xiao Zhe didn't feel much after hearing this, but said suddenly, "Sister Li, I know you are kind-hearted and responsible, and I still have to rely on you to take care of this place in the future."

Sister Li didn't realize that there was anything wrong with these words at all, but replied with some embarrassment, "It should be, why should I say it so politely."
