Seeing Xie Zongming like that, my heart trembled, and I couldn't help but reveal a smile at the corner of my mouth. "It's probably because you come home on time every day."

Hearing my words, Xie Zongming laughed awkwardly, and then returned to his usual cowardly and useless appearance.

However, I felt that he was a little unfamiliar just now. Just now, he was hinting at something, whether or not he knew about the matter between me and Zhou Jin.

However...

I thought about it again, and couldn't help but laugh when I saw Xie Zongming picking up the food with his chopsticks.

After dinner, Li Jie invited me to have coffee with her. Her current life is really comfortable.

The next day, around 2 PM, Li Jie and I went to a new dessert shop. It was said that the dessert shop's confectioner had come back from studying in France, so many people came to visit, but the shop owner only received 50 customers a day, so there were not many people in the shop right now.

Li Jie and I leaned against the window while a cat looked out from the French window at us. It looked a little pitiful, but its eyes looked a little like Zhou Jin's.

I couldn't help but smile, and then turned to talk to Li Jie.

"Zheng Xin is looking for a woman again." Li Jie said, her tone sounding a little strange.

I looked up at her, and now she was wringing the dessert on her plate with a spoon.

"But I don't care." Li Jie said.

"That's good." I turned my head to look out the window. The cat was still outside, but there were two more people outside. There were some things in this world that coincidentally happened to be the same.

I know the two people who are standing outside the window now, they are Zhou Jin and Ye Qing.

Zhou Jin squatted down and gave the little cat a can. Ye Qing bent down to look at him, her eyes filled with love and love, but it was as if she could feel my gaze on him.

She looked up at me, and then her smile froze on her face. She stared at me for two or three seconds, then tugged at Zhou Jin's sleeve.

She opened her mouth and said, "Zhou Jin, I suddenly don't want to eat anymore, let's go."

Zhou Jin was feeding the cat, and it was rare for him to have a smile on his face, but after being pulled by Ye Qing, he frowned slightly, and raised his head, looking right into my eyes.

He looked away for a moment, but then looked back at me.

"Let's go." Ye Qing pulled Zhou Jin's arm and said, "I don't want to eat anymore."

Zhou Jin shook his head, gently struggling free from Ye Qing's grasp, and said: "Don't you have something to say? I don't want to go any further. I have to go back to work later. "

"Zhou Jin, let's talk somewhere else." Ye Qing quickly glanced at me and said.

Zhou Jin pursed his lips and said, "You said just now that you finally made an appointment here with great difficulty."

I think Zhou Jin still does not know that Ye Qing came to find me in private. If I were Ye Qing, I would not have told Zhou Jin about this.

"Let's go." Zhou Jin gave me one last look before walking into the dessert shop.

Zhou Jin's face looked even more haggard than before. He was originally not fat, but now he was even thinner than a bamboo pole.

"What are you looking at?" Li Jie suddenly asked me.

I turned my head to look at her. Li Jie looked at me while smiling, and slightly narrowed her eyes.

"Nothing, I think that young boy looked pretty good." I pretended not to care.

Li Jie looked at Zhou Jin and laughed, "It is indeed beautiful, but we are just … …" She let out a faint sigh.

Zhou Jin chose a spot not far from Li Jie and I, and I could vaguely hear their conversation.

"Your brother has called me many times and wants you to come home." Ye Qing said.

"I don't want to go back." His voice carried clearly into my ear, and his voice was a little louder, as if he had said it to me on purpose.

I don't know why, but I, who was especially interested in listening in on their conversation just a moment ago, suddenly didn't want to listen anymore.

"Li Jie, it's getting late." I put down my spoon. "Let's go back."

Li Jie replied with a smile, then she placed her hands on the table and slowly stood up. Her other hand was supporting her stomach, looking extremely careful.

When I saw Li Jie's appearance, I couldn't help but to help her a little. But I don't know if it was because I let her hand go, or some other reason, but I actually wasn't able to support Li Jie. Her steps staggered, and she almost fell down.

Li Jie and I both became pale at this moment.

Li Jie held onto her stomach and carefully stood up, "It's fine, it's fine, I don't blame you."

"Yes." It was probably because I was thinking about Zhou Jin just now, that I failed when supporting Li Jie.

Li Jie and I walked out of the dessert shop together. I did not turn around to look at Zhou Jin as I was worried that Li Jie had discovered something.

When I got home, all I could see was Zhou Jin. He had become haggard and frail, and he was completely immersed in the shadows.

He shouldn't have done that. I cut tomatoes as I thought this.

At that moment, with a shake of my hand, the kitchen knife landed on my fingertip and cut into my flesh. Luckily, I immediately reacted and didn't let the knife strike any deeper.

After I washed my wounds with water, I wrapped up the Band-Aid. As I sat on the sofa to rest, I was no longer in the mood to cook anymore.

That night, Xie Zongming and I ordered a takeout, and from the looks of his eyes, it seemed as though he was blaming me for being too lovable, so he tactfully told me that his sister was a virtuous wife who would raise a child in the morning and cook for her husband in the afternoon. Of course, I didn't pay attention to him at all.

At night, I lay in bed and thought about Zhou Jin, whom I had met during the day. I thought about his expression.

It had been a long time since I'd thought of him since I'd left him, but now that I saw him, it was as if I'd awakened a desire that had been buried deep in my heart.

I want to sleep with him. It was my most explicit desire for him.

I miss the feel of his cool fingers on my skin, the blush on his cheeks when he kisses me, the glitter in his eyes when he's content.

Just as I closed my eyes and was about to fall asleep, my cell phone rang.

As if I felt something in my heart, I immediately opened my eyes and grabbed my phone to see who it was.

But I was disappointed, the person on the phone screen was Ye Qing.

What was she doing on the phone so late? I stared at my phone and wondered if it was because of Zhou Jin.

"Ye Qing?" I picked up the phone.

"Are you still in touch with Zhou Jin?" Ye Qing's voice was ice-cold.

When I heard the tone of her voice, I grew annoyed with her and said coldly, "Aren't you with him? "Now, you actually dare to come and ask me in such an aggressive manner."

Ye Qing remained silent for a while and then continued, "Did he really not go and find you?"

"Nope." I simply replied, "What happened to Zhou Jin?"

"I'm hanging up." Ye Qing avoided answering my question.

"Tell me, what happened to Zhou Jin?" I asked Ye Qing again, this time with a more serious tone.
