Chapter 447
At nine o'clock in the evening, there were many people eating and shopping, and there were cars passing by on the road. Seeing that Meng Zixiao was about to pass, Tang Song hurriedly stopped him.

"Stop! Can you still outrun the car?"

Meng Zixiao waved his arm away, his eyes fixed on the car that was leaving in the dust.The cold wind blew by, but his brain didn't cool down at all, and his stomach, which hadn't eaten, was on fire.

Depend on!Tang Song was so regretful, why did he ask this guy out to drink!I have to wipe his ass!

He turned around and went to the convenience store behind to buy two bottles of water. When Tang Song came back, Meng Zixiao slumped against the billboard with half-closed eyes. The faint white light of the light box made his face look like paper. Sad and decadent.

Tang Song handed over the water, and said, "Look in the mirror by yourself and see your virtue, why don't you have a meal together? It's not like catching a rape in bed, what's the matter?"

Meng Zixiao took it and rinsed his mouth. Tang Song would not understand his panic and despair when he saw that scene. Under the intoxication of alcohol, he was in a trance. He almost thought that after many years in his dream, the whole world was completely lost. her desolation.

He made countless calls in the afternoon and she didn't answer, but it turned out that he was... having dinner with Lu Xijue!
Another violent stomach convulsion, Meng Zixiao endured cold sweat on his forehead, retched for a long time while holding the billboard, but when he looked up, there was blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Fuck! You can do it hard." Tang Song wanted to wake him up, so he quickly took out his mobile phone and called 120. He drank so much [-]-degree vodka that his stomach didn't want it anymore.

The ambulance came quickly with the siren sounding, Meng Zixiao's consciousness was already a little loose, Tang Song helped the medical staff put him on a stretcher.Alas, it's late at night, and there are still troubles. It's impossible to go home and coax your wife and children.

The flashing blue police lights also attracted the attention of the surrounding people. A group of youths with dyed yellow hair and smoking were clamoring to walk into the alley ahead. Suddenly, a tall and thin guy stopped in his tracks. After walking back a few steps, he looked at it and said, "Damn it, isn't that my brother-in-law?"

"Brother-in-law? Your inspirational sister?"

"Hey? When did you get married, and you don't invite brothers to see what it's like to see a rich family."

"Hey, soon." After Ding Songquan said, he took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, and gestured with the other hand holding the cigarette, "Go ahead first, I have something to do, see you later." 
At this time, Land Rover had already driven a few streets away.

Concubine Ye leaned her head against the back of the chair, her eyes were still staring at the rear mirror, she was a little confused, was that man just now Meng Zixiao?Back from Singapore?It's a big holiday, why did you come out of the bar with Tang Song?

Concubine Ye lowered her head to unlock the phone, there were several missed calls, one was from Fang Han, and the other five were from Meng Zixiao.

Her phone was muted during the morning meeting, and she kept it in her bag when she went out at noon and forgot to take it out.After entering the hot pot restaurant and ordering food, I saw a missed call. The phone had less than 5% battery left. She planned to return the call from her mother when she got home, and from Meng Zixiao...she was still a little hesitant.

What are you looking for her now?
If it is Meng's mother's lobbyist, forget it.

Fang Jingru called her early in the morning, fearing that she would have an order for the Lantern Festival and asked her to come and get together.Concubine Ye was very embarrassed. She didn't know whether Meng Zixiao had told Fang Jingru about the formal divorce, so she used business as an excuse to evade it.

Now that he's divorced, although he won't be close to each other, it's better to have less contact with the Meng family. It's a pity that the family relationship of several generations has become so unfamiliar, but what if he bumps into him one day and brings a new wife to the door? manage?If you make friends with your ex-wife, no matter how generous a woman is, she will feel uncomfortable.

Before the meeting, she received a call from Lu Xijue, who also invited her to have dinner with her at night. Concubine Ye refused the same without even thinking about it. Fortunately, Lu Xijue didn't insist.

Maybe it seems too pitiful to be alone in City B, and on this kind of family reunion festival, Amy also enthusiastically said during lunch: "Xiao Feifei, come to my house for dinner tonight, my mother is a good cook, let's go together Lively and lively?"

Concubine Ye smiled and said, "No need."

"Don't be polite, it's just a matter of extra chopsticks. The company will leave work early in the afternoon, and we can still stroll around."

Concubine Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I have made an arrangement, so I accepted it kindly."

"Oh, okay." Amy stretched the ending, and leaned over to wink at her, "A date, right?"

Concubine Ye gave a brief explanation of her relationship with Meng Zixiao last time. She just said, "We're getting a divorce," and Amy didn't inquire further.

Concubine Ye smiled, as a default.In fact, she didn't make any special arrangements, and her colleagues were friendly. It is true that some wandering singles would go to their colleagues' homes for the holidays, but Concubine Ye was still a little uncomfortable.

In order to stagger the off-duty rush hour, AOS got off work an hour earlier, and everyone flew away like birds of joy. Concubine Ye sat in the office for a while, finishing the manuscript that was not in a hurry.

When she looked up again, there were only a few people left in the huge office. She was at a loss for a moment, smiled, and picked up her bag and went home.It's still early, you can go to the supermarket to buy some glutinous rice balls, make a big dinner, and then watch movies or variety shows.With rich and detailed plans in mind, see, one's life can be beautiful and fulfilling.

Carrying a heavy shopping bag home, she put the bag on the drawer at the door, put on slippers, opened the refrigerator and stuffed food in an orderly manner, like a squirrel hiding dried fruits for the winter.Her refrigerator is always full, but because she is too busy, there are many expired and broken things, so she can only take them out and replace them.

The weather is cold, and the newly bought quick-frozen glutinous rice balls are still covered with frost. Concubine Ye doesn't really like glutinous rice food. It's sticky and hard to digest. But the festival always needs a sense of ritual. You must eat a few glutinous rice balls during the Lantern Festival Only then is it complete.She put the bag aside and got up to turn on the light to cook.

Before the lights poured down, the sky outside the window first exploded with roaring fireworks, reflecting the colorful colors in the room. Concubine Ye looked out the window for a while, and then returned to the house. There was a solitude.

This is not the first time she spends the festival alone, but it is the first time in China.Even during the cold war with Meng Zixiao back then, the old house of the Meng family was full of people.Meng Zixiao... He should have received the divorce certificate from her, right?

Oh, how could you think of these.The information of the Civil Affairs Bureau has been changed, and the entanglement between her and him has finally ended, and she has truly returned to being alone.

Concubine Ye shook off those thoughts, turned on the gas stove to boil the glutinous rice balls, and when the water boiled, she poured the glutinous rice balls in.There was the sound of chopping vegetables upstairs, red lanterns were hung on the balcony of the unit opposite, people in the room were noisy, and there were children running around in the living room.

Suddenly a firecracker exploded with a bang, and the anti-theft device of the car downstairs also started screaming.

Concubine Ye was startled, and when she came back to her senses, she found that the water had already boiled and overflowed. She hurriedly reached out to lift the lid of the pot, and the steam was released all of a sudden, and the whole room was covered with hot water mist.With her vision blocked, she fanned the steam, but the back of her hand accidentally touched the wall of the pot, and when she retracted her hand suddenly, it caught the handle again, and the whole pot slipped to the ground.

Concubine Ye jumped away with a low cry, but fortunately her winter clothes and slippers were thick, except for the back of her hands, her legs and feet were not burned.The gas stove was sizzling with water, so she hurriedly turned off the fire, and rinsed her hands with cold water.After the turmoil, looking at Xiao Yuanzi lying limp on the ground, I lost any appetite and cooking mood.

After cleaning the ground, she sat on the sofa for a while, and suddenly felt that this life was really boring.

To prevent the bad mood from spreading, Concubine Ye changed her clothes, picked up the bag on the drawer and went out.The back of her hand hurt a little, she didn't want to drive, so she hailed a taxi outside the gate of the community, drove to the busiest commercial area, and wandered aimlessly.

The streets are really crowded with people. In addition to families going out to eat, there are more couples, and there are small vendors selling bouquets of roses. They all say that Chinese people can celebrate any festival except Qingming Festival as lovers. Festival, not without reason.

Concubine Ye felt a little hungry while walking, and the smell of the hot pot restaurant next to her made her stop a little hesitantly. Amy told her about a loneliness scale, what level is it for eating hot pot alone?

She thought, maybe it was a wrong decision to reject Amy's invitation, and she should have the cheek to go through it.

A young couple still wearing school uniforms came out of the hot pot restaurant. The boy gave her a second look. After passing her, the girl questioned: "Is that girl in the back good-looking?"

The boy gasped, and quickly coaxed, "It's far worse than you." Then he added, "The key is still older than you."

Concubine Ye: ...

After being sprinkled with a handful of dog food and shot, she sniffed and looked up at the sky, wanting to chase and beat someone.To show affection is to show affection, why involve her as a passer-by, high school students are amazing, brat!
Suddenly someone tugged at the hem of her clothes. She was a little puzzled by the mid-length coat Concubine Ye was wearing. She lowered her head and saw a cute little bun holding a rose in her hand and said sweetly: "Beautiful sister, that uncle asked me I send flowers to the most beautiful sister around."

Concubine Ye was stunned, her heart almost melted, she took it and said with a smile, "Thank you."

She followed the little girl's chubby fingers and saw a man not far away.

He stared fixedly at her with deep black eyes, without much expression on his face, slightly open black coat, straight black trousers, black boots on his feet, and a black outfit that was solemn but not dull.

Seeing her staring at her in a daze, he walked towards her step by step with his long legs, his thin lips raised, his brows and eyes were slightly gentle, and he joked: "This beauty, can I have a hot pot with you?"

Concubine Ye's expression was blank, and she tilted her head and smiled after a few seconds, then looked at him again and said, "Okay."

The smile on Lu Xijue's face became more and more intense, he bent down to touch the top of the little girl's hair, and said with a smile, "Thank you, little sister."

The little girl smiled shyly, and after completing the task, she ran quickly to her parents who were waiting next to her, hugging her mother's leg coquettishly.

Lu Xijue straightened up, his eyes became deeper and deeper, and a star-like smile flashed in his eyes, "Let's go, or we will have to wait for a seat later."

Concubine Ye suddenly felt embarrassing and regretful, she lowered her head and pinned the hair that was blowing on her lips back behind her ears, she was really bewitched, why did she agree.

When he was struggling in place, an arm came across from the back of his waist, "Hurry up, don't grind."

Concubine Ye walked with his strength, and she asked, "Why are you here?"

"Passing by." Then he turned his head to look at her again, "Are we destined?"

cut.

Concubine Ye didn't seem to believe it.

Lu Xijue did lie.In the morning, I heard Xiao Zhang in the office envy and sigh that they live in City B, and the Lantern Festival makes him even more lonely.Lu Xijue immediately thought of Concubine Ye, her parents hadn't come yet, and the Lantern Festival was not a holiday, so it would be boring to celebrate the festival by herself.He called and was rejected unexpectedly.

Lu Xijue has experienced more times of rejection, so he ignored her perfunctory excuses, and went directly downstairs to wait for someone in her company after get off work.

Concubine Ye probably drove back from the basement. Lu Xijue didn't wait outside the building, so he went to try his luck in her community.

The light was on, and he was hesitating whether to call her first or go upstairs directly, but he saw her coming down after a while, walking quickly, stopped a taxi and left in a hurry.

Lu Xijue thought something was wrong, but he just followed her for half a business district with a lonely face.

The waiter enthusiastically led them to sit down, he handed the tablet for ordering to Concubine Ye, and she was not polite to him, slipping beef, mutton, fish fillet with yellow throat... read out every point softly, and looked up at him.

There was always a smile on the corner of Lu Xijue's lips, "You can do whatever you want, I'm not taboo."

Concubine Ye didn't care about him, after handing the tablet to Lu Xijue, she sipped the sour plum soup and looked around the warm restaurant.

Sure enough, they are all family-friendly, and no matter how bad it is, there is a table for two. This hot pot restaurant, famous for its service, is said to be considerate enough to put dolls on the chairs opposite to single customers to "sit with".Concubine Ye is a little funny, won't it be...more sad?

Lu Xijue returned the tablet to the waiter and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Only then did Concubine Ye realize that the corners of her lips were raised, she hurriedly lowered her lips and said, "It's nothing."

The waiter brought over the pot bottom and side dishes, and began to introduce them enthusiastically, but Lu Xijue politely said: "Thank you, no need."

Concubine Ye looked at him, "You don't need to attend the family banquet tonight?"

"I'm busy with work, and they're used to it." He picked up the sour plum soup and touched the wall of her cup lightly, "Congratulations to you for being single again."

Concubine Ye was shocked, she reacted and asked, "You... how do you know?"

Lu Xijue smiled.

Concubine Ye instantly thought that he belonged to the public security system, she lowered her head and muttered, "Divorced woman, what is there to celebrate."

"Why isn't it worth celebrating, we both should celebrate, you have regained your freedom, and I finally have a chance." Lu Xijue said seriously.When he heard the news, she probably wouldn't understand the pure joy that came from the bottom of her heart.

Concubine Ye remained silent.what to do?She regretted it, can I stop eating the hot pot?

Lu Xijue raised his eyebrows, and said domineeringly: "Please associate."

Under normal circumstances, women have a buffer period after breaking up, and it is not suitable for a quick confession, but it is definitely not like Concubine Ye. If he does not force her, he will just format and delete the past together like Meng Zixiao.

"Lu Xijue, I don't want to think about feelings right now."

She had already used this excuse before, and even said that she was afraid that he would be "little three". Lu Xijue didn't care, and his voice was low and seductive, "We can consider it in the future, I'm just expressing my opinion. You choose." 
The marriage is divorced... What reason does he have to see her?
Concubine Ye: "..."

She was silent for a while, "Actually, I'm not that good."

He sneered and laughed, Concubine Ye straightened up and glared.is it funny?
Lu Xijue stopped his smile, and agreed, "Yes." Then he changed the subject, "But...doesn't hinder me from being nice to you?"

Concubine Ye was speechless.

Lu Xijue was afraid that he would really make her angry or scare her away, so he got up and said, "I'll go to the seasoning plate, what flavor do you prefer?"

She said sullenly: "You go first, I will do it myself."

The waiter came over to help rinse the dishes, and Concubine Ye stared at the meatballs rolling in the red oil with a look of bitterness and hatred.

When Lu Xijue came back after taking the sauce dish, seeing that she was still worrying with her chin on her hands, he scooped up a few slices of beef and put them in her bowl, "What are you doing in a daze, aren't you hungry?"

"Well, uh..." She struggled to organize her words, and continued the topic just now, "You should have had a few relationships in the past few years, right? Actually, maybe it's just an illusion, and I don't have to be so important, right?"

Lu Xijue stopped holding the colander, and laughed angrily after hearing her words, but his tone was cold, "Yes, I'm also picking, maybe I will meet someone I like better someday."

She seemed relieved.

He looked at her, and continued to coldly say: "So...you need to have such a big burden to pick me out first? Why? Are you really worried that I will miss my life if I see Concubine Ye?"

Speaking of the last strong ridicule.

Concubine Ye was stunned, yes, she had a sense of fear for Lu Xijue, and she didn't know what she was afraid of, probably people have the instinct to avoid danger, she had a premonition that this person couldn't be provoked, and instinctively wanted to run away.

The atmosphere is stagnant.

Both of them stopped talking, and the waiter came over again, this time less annoying, "Do you need a refill? Or should we replace it with our freshly squeezed black soybean milk?"

Concubine Ye nodded, but the other party couldn't figure it out, and simply brought two glasses over.

The atmosphere eased somewhat. Fortunately, Lu Xijue didn't mention this matter again, and Concubine Ye also felt that she was making a fuss over a molehill. As he said, he is not a scourge, a fan friend, a playmate...an ordinary suitor, occasionally What about going to the appointment?

When he was about to finish eating, he suggested, "It's still early, go to see the Lantern Festival? It's rare once a year."

Concubine Ye's momentum was greatly reduced, and she nodded in agreement with lack of energy.

It's just... After seeing Meng Zixiao, even this little bit of dispensable interest in playing has disappeared.

Her head was almost stuck to the car window, with an absent-minded look, Lu Xijue tilted his head and asked, "What? Something fell down?"

Concubine Ye came back to her senses, "No. You, take me back, I'm a little tired."

"Really don't go shopping anymore? It should be quite lively."

Concubine Ye shook her head, "Forget it, it's almost ten o'clock when I get back, and I have to go to work tomorrow, and my phone is dead."

She turned on the screen of her mobile phone, as if to prove that she was not just making excuses, the mobile phone's white screen flashed, and it automatically shut down in response.

Lu Xijue didn't force her any more, to deal with Concubine Ye, he had to force her just enough, but not too hastily, otherwise, who knows what grandiose things she would do, she would push her further.

Suddenly, he frowned, and reached out to grab her hand holding the phone. The dinner table was far away, and he didn't notice that the back of her hand was red. "What's wrong with your hand? The pot was hot just now?"

"It's okay, it was hot a long time ago." Concubine Ye raised her hand to hide from the car door, but unexpectedly his palm just brushed against it, and she took a deep breath in pain.

Lu Xijue pulled over, turned on the lights and checked, but luckily it wasn't serious, "Go to the pharmacy to buy some ointment."

"Don't be so troublesome."

He glanced at her dangerously, Concubine Ye fell silent.

After all this tossing, it was already late when she got home. Concubine Ye hurriedly called Fang Han. Her parents had a regular schedule and went to bed early, and she was afraid that they would get sleepy if they waited too late.

Sure enough, Fang Han was still waiting for her call back, and when he got through, he asked, "Concubine, what's the matter? I haven't called back for a long time."

"It's okay, go out to play, the phone just ran out of battery."

"A date? With whom?"

"No, it's just a dinner with colleagues." She made up this lie more and more slipperily.

"Well, it's good for you young people to get together more, don't always be lazy at home..."

Concubine Ye nestled on the sofa to answer the phone, looked up at the ceiling, smiled helplessly, and listened to her mother's rambling for a long time, she only occasionally echoed it, it was nothing more than those things that were always mentioned repeatedly.

"By the way, have you eaten glutinous rice balls?"

Concubine Ye stopped dangling her legs, "Yes, I ate."

"Are the glutinous rice balls made by mom delicious?"

Nani?

Concubine Ye was dumbfounded.

Fang Han seemed to be able to see her expression, "You unlucky child, I wrapped it up in advance and vacuumed it up for you, didn't you miss it?"

That bag of heart food?She stuffed it into the refrigerator freezer.Concubine Ye subconsciously wanted to run over to have a look, but when she was caught by the rope, she realized that she was holding the landline in the living room.

"I'll eat it later."

"Forget it, don't eat too much at night, it's not good for your health."

Concubine Ye said "yes" again and again, she was coaxed by her mother, and went to cook glutinous rice balls again, throwing two into it meaningfully.

It wasn't until she finished her work that she came out that she thought about charging her phone. After turning it on, there was a text message alert, and it was another missed call from Meng Zixiao.

so late?
Afraid that he really needed to find her urgently, Concubine Ye thought about it and called her back.

The phone rang for a while before it was picked up, and a woman's voice came through the radio waves, saying softly, "Hello?"

Concubine Ye moved the phone away and confirmed again that the string of numbers on the screen belonged to Meng Zixiao.

A somewhat familiar female voice suddenly had an answer, she didn't say a word, just pressed the red button to hang up.
