Back to 2006

When Zhen Xin flipped through the photos in the photo album on her phone to show her and Yang Xingyu's clothes drying on the balcony, Qi Meilan looked at the photo of men and women's underwear hanging together on the balcony clothes-drying rod, and she pursed her lips tightly. , because she recognized that the men's underwear in the photo did belong to Yang Xingyu.

Suddenly, she felt her stomach churn.

"vomit……"

As soon as the sound of vomiting came out, she quickly covered her mouth.

Zhen Xin looked at Qi Meilan in surprise, frowned, and then looked at the photo on her phone.

"what happened to you?"

As soon as Zhen Xin asked this question, Qi Meilan's chest suddenly rose and fell, her cheeks suddenly bulged, and although her mouth was tightly covered by herself, she still made a sound of vomiting.

Zhen Xin's eyes were very confused, not knowing what was going on.

"Do you find this photo disgusting?"

Zhen Xin asked with a frown.

"vomit……"

Qi Meilan bent down and lowered her head, covering her mouth with one hand, and waving to Zhen Xin with the other hand, but Zhen Xin couldn't tell what she meant by waving?

Denial?

Or do you want to talk later?

After a while, Qi Meilan gradually calmed down. After breathing evenly, she slowly sat upright and turned to look at Zhen Xin, who also looked at her.

Their eyes met.

A complicated smile appeared on Qi Meilan's face, and she said softly: "It seems that you have won. You are prettier and richer than me, and you are so close to him. Those who are near the water and the towers get the moon first. The ancients do not deceive me. In fact, I have already had a hunch that I can’t compete with you.”

After a pause, Qi Meilan stood up, lowered her head to adjust the satchel on her arm, then raised her eyes to look at Zhen Xin, who was still sitting on the bench, and continued with a complicated smile: "You are right, the three of us really should have a break. , Don’t worry! I, Qi Meilan, am not someone who cannot afford to lose. Since you have won now, I will break up with him soon. Goodbye!"

After saying that, she smiled, turned around and left.

Zhen Xin frowned and looked at her leaving back, then looked at the photo on her phone with doubtful eyes, and whispered to herself: "Is this photo so disgusting in her eyes?"

She squinted at the men's and women's underwear in the photo, thoughtfully, wondering if Qi Meilan saw her and Yang Xingyu's underwear hanging together, which reminded Qi Meilan of the scene of her and Yang Xingyu in bed? So Qi Meilan feels disgusted?

This is possible.

but……

She also thought of another possibility - Qi Meilan couldn't be pregnant, right?

When she thought of this possibility, Zhen Xin felt very uneasy, and there was no joy on her face. Logically speaking, Qi Meilan had just said that she would break up with Yang Xingyu soon, and Zhen Xin should be very happy, but now Zhen Xin is still lingering in her mind. Looking at the scene of Qi Meilan retching several times just now.

The thought that Qi Meilan might be pregnant with Yang Xingyu's child made her heart heavy.

Because in that case, Yang Xingyu would probably choose Qi Meilan for the sake of the child.

Zhen Xin subconsciously lowered her head, raised her left hand and gently pressed it on her lower abdomen.

For several months, she randomly selected a day every month, and when she was having fun with him, she told him that today was safe, so that he didn't need to take safety measures.

In fact, she didn't know if it was safe that day.

She left everything to God's will.

She kept thinking: If God brought them together and she did this, she would definitely be pregnant with his child.

But half a year has passed, right?

Her stomach remained silent.

But her opponent Qi Meilan... showed signs of pregnancy.

Is it really easier to have a baby with a big butt?

When she thought of Qi Meilan's figure, this idea suddenly flashed through her mind.

Zhen Xin sat on the bench by the lake for a long time and thought about it for a long time. Finally, she stood up with a calm expression, adjusted her windbreaker, turned around and walked in the direction of where she parked her car.

……

Most of the facade houses in urban areas are very expensive.

Even now in 2007, the unit price of a facade house in the old city, even if it looks shabby, is easily to yuan per square meter.

The price of front-end houses in Xincheng District is slightly lower, but most of them are more than 10,000 per square meter.

This price stops most ordinary people.

Because these days, many people's monthly income is less than one thousand. Those with more than one thousand are considered to be doing well, and those with more than two thousand are considered to have high incomes.

With such an income and such high housing prices, how can ordinary people afford to buy so many expensive front-end houses?

Therefore, most of those who run small businesses rent houses.

The rent is rising every year, so I have to endure it.

In the past, Yang Xingyu could only endure it, but recently he doesn't want to endure it anymore.

No, this afternoon he came to the sales department of a new property and signed a house purchase agreement accompanied by Jiang Jie, Shan Jing, and Hu Lao.

Today he bought another 42-square-meter front house.

Jiang Jie is the accountant of his company. He is responsible for signing and Jiang Jie is responsible for paying.

This is already the sixth storefront he has bought this month.

The area is not large, but the total price exceeds 60.

Counting the interest on the mortgage loan, it would be over 90.

Without hesitation, he took the signature pen handed over by the sales lady. Under the guidance of the sales lady, he signed his name everywhere in the agreement.

Jiang Jie used the company's official seal to take over the agreement he signed, and stamped the company's official seal on each location that required a seal.

Yes, these front houses were all purchased in the name of the company.

There are two main reasons.

First, this is considered an investment by the company and can offset part of the tax.

Second, if you buy a house in the name of a company, it will be easier to get a mortgage loan. After all, Yang Ji Roast Duck's company accounts are very beautiful. If you buy a house with a loan in the name of Yang Ji Roast Duck, the loan review will be easy.

What's more, Yang Xingyu doesn't just want to buy a few front houses recently, but twenty or thirty. If he buys so many front houses in a short period of time and uses a loan in his own name, he is afraid that the review time will be longer. In contrast, using a company loan It will be much simpler if you do it in the name of the applicant.

evening.

Yang Xingyu returned to Zhen Xin's residence, opened the door and came in only to see several dishes already placed on the dining table, and Zhen Xin in home clothes was still busy in the kitchen.

He was a little surprised, but with a smile on his face, he put on his slippers and came to the kitchen. Seeing that Zhen Xin didn't look back and was still cooking soup on the stove, he leaned behind her and held her in his arms, his face touching her. He looked at the stainless steel soup pot in front of her.

"What kind of soup is this?"

He asked casually, and after he asked, he gently sniffed the fragrance of her hair.

Zhen Xin: "Bayu soup."

Yang Xingyu was stunned, frowning and looking carefully at the milky white soup in the pot. Looking at the endlessly rolling milky white soup, he stared at it for a while, and sure enough he saw the figure of a small bass fish in the churning soup.

He was speechless for a moment.

After a while, he frowned and asked, "Is this pufferfish? Pufferfish is poisonous, can you do it? Do you know how to remove the poison?"

Zhen Xin scooped up some soup with the spoon in her hand, blew on it and tasted it.

When she turned on the faucet and poured water to clean the spoon, she asked calmly: "Don't you dare to drink it?" Yang Xingyu still frowned, "No! Xinxin, this is not a question of whether you dare or not, but whether you will remove it." Toxic? Are you aware of it? This is no joke."

Although the baby puffer fish is not very poisonous and is not as deadly as the adult puffer fish, it is still very scary.

Zhen Xin turned off the flame of the liquefaction stove, put the spoon into the soup pot, peeled off his hands that hugged her, turned around and walked out of the kitchen with the soup pot.

"If you're afraid, don't drink!"

She said calmly.

Yang Xingyu frowned and followed her out of the kitchen. Watching her put the soup pot on the dining table, he felt that Zhen Xin seemed a little abnormal today and her mood was not right.

"What's wrong with you? You don't want to die with me, do you?"

He smiled and made a joke, but his eyes carefully observed her expression.

He is a person who cherishes his life, especially when he has already died once, he cherishes his hard-won life even more.

Zhen Xin took off the apron cloth from her waist, pulled out a dining chair, picked up a pair of bowls and chopsticks from the table, and scooped out a bowl of soup from the soup pot with a calm expression, and also scooped out two small bass fish in the bowl.

Putting the soup bowl on the table in front of him, she picked up another set of bowls and chopsticks and filled a bowl for herself.

After doing this, she raised her eyes and looked at him, "Do you dare to drink?"

Yang Xingyu looked at her calm face and became more and more sure that she was unusual today.

He frowned and looked at her for a moment, then looked down at the soup in front of him. The milky white soup looked quite beautiful, but he was afraid that the more beautiful the thing, the more poisonous it would be!

But he has realized that Zhen Xin is testing him.

Although he didn't know why she suddenly tested him like this, he still understood that if he didn't drink this bowl of soup, his relationship with her might be over.

Since dating Zhen Xin, he has learned a lot about Zhen Xin's character. Her cold personality makes her seem neither impatient nor tepid no matter what she does. After living with her for half a year, she actually didn't follow her. He had a quarrel once.

This is very rare.

Even in the original time and space, those women who were committed to him because of money would sometimes quarrel with him and act a little bit petty when their temper got angry.

But Zhen Xin is not like that.

Yang Xingyu raised his eyes to look at her again, and saw that she was still looking at him calmly. He squinted and looked at her for a moment, and saw that her eyes did not dodge, and there was no emotion in her eyes.

His frown slowly relaxed, and he suddenly pulled out the dining chair in front of him. After sitting down, he picked up the soup bowl in front of him with both hands, looked at her with a calm smile, and said, "I'll drink it! Xinxin, I'll drink it." I believe you, if you really want my life, I will die in your hands."

As he said that, he saw that there was surprise in her eyes, but there was no worry or entanglement in her eyes. He felt a little relieved and really poured two mouthfuls of soup into his mouth.

At this time, the soup in the bowl was still a bit hot. Even if he took a small sip, it still felt a bit hot to his mouth.

So, after taking two sips, he put down the bowl and asked with a smile: "You don't want to drink it in one sip, do you?"

As a professional chef who had studied "Culinary Chemistry", he knew that even if the fish soup was poisonous, it would be very weak and would not kill him.

Otherwise, even if he liked Zhen Xin, he might not dare to drink this soup casually.

He wanted love, but he never intended to risk his life for love.

He couldn't die for love.

Perhaps, deep down, he is the kind of person who loves himself more than anyone else.

Zhen Xin looked at him blankly.

Seeing him pick up the bowl again and start sipping the soup, a complicated smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Then, she herself picked up the soup bowl in front of her and drank in small sips.

To be honest, Yang Xingyu was not surprised when he saw her starting to drink soup, because two opposite thoughts flashed through his mind.

——There should be no poison in this soup, otherwise she would not dare to drink it.

——This soup may be really poisonous. Doesn’t she really want to die with me?

But there is no turning back when the bow is drawn.

At this time, unless he wants to break up with her, he must continue to believe in her.

The most important thing is that his professional knowledge told him that the small fish is not very toxic.

But he was mentally prepared to go to the hospital as soon as there was something slightly wrong with his stomach tonight.

Fortunately, it's very convenient to go to the hospital here, so nothing should happen.

With this thought, he calmed down and finished the bowl of soup with Zhen Xin.

Like her, she also ate the fish in the bowl with chopsticks.

"Do you really believe me that much?"

Zhen Xin casually took out a napkin and wiped her lips, and asked him calmly.

Yang Xingyu actually didn't believe her that much.

But now that the soup has been drunk, of course he will not tell the truth, "Of course! If you really want me to die, I will die in your hands, and I will die without complaint."

Zhen Xin looked at him with complicated eyes.

Sighing softly, a complicated smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he sighed softly: "It seems that I have fallen into your hands in this life."

Yang Xingyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "What should I say? I believe in you so much, isn't that okay?"

Zhen Xin shook her head and smiled bitterly, "It seems like a good thing, but if we don't get to the point of getting married, how can I let you go in the future?"

Yang Xingyu frowned. Zhen Xin's words made him feel that his previous judgment was correct.

She was indeed testing him tonight, and she might really want to break up with him.

"What's wrong with you? Do you want to break up?"

he asks.

Zhen Xin looked at him and shook her head slightly, "No, but there is Qi Meilan between you and me. This is a fact. I am not your only one. Who can say what will happen in the future? There is indeed a possibility that you and I will break up. Maybe, what do you think?"

Normally she almost never mentioned Qi Meilan in front of him, but tonight she did.

Yang Xingyu thought for a while, moved his dining chair next to her, put his arm around her shoulders, and comforted her softly: "Xinxin, don't think so wildly. As long as you don't break up with me, I promise to never leave you in this life."

Zhen Xin was a little surprised. Looking into his eyes, she found that his eyes were very candid and did not flicker at all. It seemed as if what he just said was really sincere.

"Really?"

She confirmed to him.

Yang Xingyu nodded.

He really didn't plan to break up with her. He had already thought about it. He would pester her and Qi Meilan for the rest of his life until the day he died.

How come it’s not a lifetime?

He only lived for 41 years in his last life, and he doesn't know how long he can live in this life. So, since he likes both of them, why should he let go of one of them? (End of chapter)
