C164

After hanging up the phone, Shi Lei told the waiter the table number. The waiter then led Shi Lei to table 116.

The moment he saw Li Tongxi, Shi Lei was stunned for a moment.

She was wearing a simple, light white dress with a black belt tied around her waist. She wore a tassel knit cardigan, and her long, supple hair fell over her shoulders.

She wore simple and elegant black sandals, and her long, plump legs were folded under the dining table.

Under the warm red light of the candle, Li Tongxi's eyebrows, eyes, and forehead shone brilliantly.

Spring half peach blossom, a divine beauty, this was a kind of soul-stirring beauty.

"Sit." Li Tongxi looked at the slightly dazed Shi Lei, and the corner of her mouth slightly raised.

In that moment, Shi Lei suspected that the woman seated in the dim light was Li Tongxi.

How could this be Li Tongxi?

In the past, Li Tongxi's attire was very conservative.

In this aspect, she was the complete opposite of the Lin Qiumo who was as famous as her.

Therefore, her attire today was far out of Shi Lei's expectations. Although it was still not as bold and avant-garde as Lin Qiumo's, to her, it could be said that she had made great progress.

More importantly, she had just smiled at him.

Was this woman stupid?

"Tongxi?" Shi Lei shouted uncertainly, afraid that he recognized the wrong person.

"Sit down, what do you want to eat? One of you would recommend the knives, axes and steaks here. " Li Tongxi pointed to the other side of the table, and indicated for Shi Lei to sit.

Only now did Shi Lei confirm that he was not mistaken.

Although she was still unable to adapt to Li Tongxi's condition, there was no doubt that the woman in her seat was her.

Shi Lei had wanted to fill up his stomach immediately, such as some rice and noodles, but hearing Li Tongxi's recommendation, he decided to give it a try.

"Then let's make it with the knife, axe, and steak." Shi Lei said to the waiter who was standing by the side.

"Then open the bottle and go rich 707." Li Tongxi said.

Shi Lei was stunned.

This woman still wants wine?

Was he plotting against him?

When a man has ideas, he would think of ways to make a woman drink. That's reasonable.

"Tongxi, I might... "I can't really drink that much." Shi Lei said in embarrassment.

This was the truth. Ever since he got drunk at KTV, Shi Lei realized that his alcohol tolerance was low and he could no longer return to his normal state.

In this regard, he was extremely vigilant. He believed that this was a sign that the illness of his "innate yang meridians" would gradually recover.

"It doesn't matter, people don't get drunk when drinking red wine." Li Tongxi said. She didn't understand what Shi Lei meant.

Shi Lei could only accept his fate.

As a man who had a wife and was in his twenties and yet had no wife by his side, he had been living under a lot of pressure in the capital.

The hens and hags around him might crush him one day, and he would sleep helplessly in someone else's bed.

Seeing Shi Lei not saying a word, Li Tongxi did not have the intention to take the initiative and speak.

Holding his cheek with one hand, his eyes focused on the couple beside him who were happily eating their meal. No one knew what he was thinking.

"In the past, I was the same." Li Tongxi suddenly spoke, her voice was weak and her tone was long.

"What?" Shi Lei put down the lemon juice in his hand and looked up at her.

"I said before, I was as happy as she was." As Li Tongxi was speaking, her gaze was fixated on the girl at the table across from him.

The girl was young and pretty with a blissful smile on her face. She whispered something to the man in front of her and covered her mouth from time to time.

Shi Lei understood now, he could see his original self from this girl.

After experiencing such a huge setback in her emotions, Li Tongxi had chosen the latter, and lost all confidence in her love.

She no longer believed in love, but that didn't mean she didn't want it anymore.

Thus, when she saw the happiness of others, she would reveal this feeling of nostalgia.

"Is this woman the real woman?" Li Tongxi asked in a daze.

"No." Shi Lei immediately denied it: "A person like you is also a real woman." He originally wanted to say something to prove the basis of his words, like I've given you acupuncture, I've seen many places with you, you should be fat, you should be thin, you should be half fat and not thin, you're definitely half fat and not thin …

However, he could not say any of that. It sounded like consolation, and in Li Tongxi's ears, he had already become a rogue.

Li Tongxi shook her head and said: "That's not it, I should be happy being a woman, but I can't enjoy being a woman. She's different. She can laugh, she can cry, and she can occasionally act like a spoiled child. I don't even know or have forgotten about these things. "

Hearing Li Tongxi's words, Shi Lei's heart clenched, it was a little painful.

Xu Zhimo said: At least once in your life, you should forget yourself for someone's sake.

He did not seek results, nor did he seek peers, nor did he seek past possession.

I don't even ask you to love me, but to meet you in my most beautiful year.

Had those poor women paid too heavy a price for this?

"It will be fine in the future. Definitely." Shi Lei gave her a firm look.

"Him? Which him? " Shi Lei couldn't react for a while.

But, seeing her gloomy expression, he suddenly understood and asked: "It's Xiu Hao?"

Li Tongxi was surprised at first before saying, "I didn't think that you would still remember this name."

"I only remember two types of people, people who helped me, and people who hurt me." Shi Lei smiled and said, "Wounding my friend is equivalent to hurting me indirectly, so I can still remember."

"Thank you." Li Tongxi said sincerely.

In this world, if someone can remember your scars, just like his own wounds, then life is not too desperate.

Shi Lei asked: "Did he look for you?"

"Nope." Li Tongxi shook her head: "A friend told me this. He's such a proud person, how could he take the initiative to look for me?"

Pride?

Who doesn't have that kind of thing?

A man's true pride was not in being noble to women he had hurt, but in not letting them get hurt at all.

"Then what do you plan to do? Go back to him? " Shi Lei asked. Even if he didn't wish for Li Tongxi to turn around, from the point of view of a friend, he still wanted to help her analyze the current situation, and see what she was thinking.

At the start of the treatment, Shi Lei was just acting as a therapist. Now that Li Tongxi was more or less recovered, but was immediately faced with the next problem, Shi Lei felt that it was necessary to treat this as a side effect.

The sequelae are within the responsibility of the doctor.

Li Tongxi shook her head and said, "I can't go back, and I don't want to."

Shi Lei nodded his head: "It's good that you can see it clearly, but you don't have to blame yourself. With your good condition, you won't need to worry about not finding better men."

After hearing that, Li Tongxi's eyes flickered.

In the end, he stared at Shi Lei, but at this time, Shi Lei lowered his head and took a sip of the drink in his cup.
