Chapter 82 Chapter 82 "Have you investigated me?" ...

After returning home from the set, Shen Xiyu felt very tired.

Hotpot heard the sound of the door and came to the door following the smell.

This cat was strange. Initially, it wasn't very close to Shen Xiyu, but after Liang Qi left, it often clung to her. It was as if it knew that she was the only one it could rely on from now on.

It grew bigger day by day, moved slower, and became fatter.

"I don't know if he can recognize you when he sees you now." Shen Xiyu picked it up and curled up on the sofa.

The only response she got was "Meow~ Meow~".

Shen Xiyu held his phone in a daze.

Her finger stopped at Lin Yang's contact information, then moved to Qin Yiyan's contact information.

There are so many ways to find him, but Shen Xiyu is not very brave.

I didn't expect that she would be so cowardly one day.

There was a "dong dong dong" sound coming from outside the door. It didn't sound like knocking on the door, but sounded like someone outside was moving something heavy.

Shen Xiyu remembered that when he was chatting with the landlord some time ago, the landlord mentioned that the house opposite had been rented out.

Their building has three households on the first floor, but Shen Xiyu has never seen anyone living in the other two rooms since he moved in.

The first floor is quite quiet. Shen Xiyu has not slept well during this period. He hopes that the other party is quiet. After all, the sound insulation of this house is not very good.

After being stunned for a long time, thinking about this and that, Shen Xiyu suddenly felt like eating the oden downstairs. Fortunately, she hadn't changed into her pajamas yet, otherwise, this lazy person like her wouldn't want to move again.

Hotpot hasn't been out for a day, so I took it out for a walk.

Every time he went out for hotpot, he was much happier than Shen Xiyu, and he would rush ahead of her. Sometimes she felt that if he could reach the door handle, he would have wanted to open the door himself.

"Don't be impatient." Shen Xiyu was changing her shoes, and Hotpot kept pushing her. "If you're impatient any longer, I won't take you with me."

Hotpot was indeed well behaved, but he was still scratching the ground with his claws, looking impatient.

"Look at you, you monkey." Shen Xiyu opened the door and let it out.

The construction work across the street was still going on, and Shen Xiyu saw several movers bringing in luggage, box after box.

She couldn't help but take a few more glances out of curiosity. There was really a lot of luggage. It must have taken almost an hour to move it, and so many workers were carrying it together.

Hotpot turned the corner before her.

"Slow down." Shen Xiyu had no choice but to quicken his pace to chase it.

Turning the corner, what caught my eye was a hot pot rubbing against a pair of leather shoes.

How could this fat cat recognize its owner so easily? Shen Xiyu simply didn't want to admit that this was his cat.

"Hotpot, come here quickly." Shen Xiyu looked up along the man's legs, "Um, I'm sorry..."

The man was no longer wearing casual afternoon clothes, but a formal suit, with a tie tied tightly around his collar, covering his Adam's apple. Shen Xiyu couldn't help swallowing.

"You, why are you here?"

"Can't you come?" Liang Qi bent down and wanted to pick up the hot pot, but it dodged him and ran to hide behind Shen Xiyu's legs, only sticking out its little head to peek at Liang Qi.

But what it doesn't know is that with its current huge body, its mother can't stop it at all.

"Are you ready to go out for dinner?" Liang Qi saw that the hot pot was avoiding him, so he didn't insist on hugging it. Instead, he looked up and asked Chen Xiyu.

"Let's go downstairs and have some oden." Shen Xiyu was a little unsure of Liang Qi's intention. This situation couldn't be another chance encounter, but because of what happened at noon today, she felt a little guilty in front of him, so she was embarrassed to ask him anything.

Seeing Liang Qi staring at him without saying a word, Shen Xiyu asked tentatively, "Together?"

"good."

Although he spoke little, he agreed very quickly.

*

Two people and a cat sat by the window, with two boxes of steaming oden in front of them.

This scene seemed familiar, Shen Xiyu thought.

She's been reminiscing about the past far too often lately.

Shen Xiyu had been busy all day, and now that he sat down, he didn't want to be tense when talking to the people around him. That would be too tiring.

"It doesn't recognize me very well." Liang Qi was the first to bring up the topic.

Shen Xiyu didn't look at the hot pot in his mouth, but tilted his head to look at him.

"A cat's memory is very short. The time you exist in its memory is too short."

"It's a good thing you don't have a short memory."

Shen Xiyu knew what he was talking about and smiled softly.

"It's a little funny that you're eating oden here in a suit."

Liang Qi lowered his head and looked at his serious black suit, which seemed a bit out of place.

"I had a sudden meeting this afternoon and didn't have time to change it," he explained.

When saying this, Liang Qi still felt a little resentful. Everything had been arranged, but he was called back this afternoon because of something.

"You left the set this afternoon without even telling me when."

Speaking of this, Liang Qi's eyes were very sharp, "What do you think?"

"Are you angry?" Shen Xiyu leaned forward and looked at him with a playful smile.

"No." Liang Qi turned away from her, "I just haven't experienced Shen Zuo's hospitality."

He didn't even call my name, it seemed like he was really angry.

"I'm so annoyed by Chu He. It's so embarrassing. I can't bear it anymore and can't stay here any longer." Shen Xiyu softened his voice, "Please forgive me, okay?"

"You want me to forgive you?" Liang Qi looked a little arrogant.

"Yes, please be kind and forgive me, Mr. Liang."

Just as Liang Qi knew best what Shen Xiyu would fall for, Shen Xiyu also knew best what to say to discourage him.

"Then tell me why he bothers you."

“…”

Seeing Shen Xiyu speechless, Liang Qi became interested. He knew Shen Xiyu's emotional state over the years very well, so how could he not know what their relationship was? He just wanted to hear Shen Xiyu say it himself.

He wanted to see how much Chu He meant to Shen Xiyu.

But Shen Xiyu didn't know that Liang Qi knew the whole story. In her opinion, this was a life-threatening question.

But facing Liang Qi's inquiring gaze, she decided to tell the truth. She couldn't lie about such things. If she wanted to have a serious talk with Liang Qi, she had to overcome this hurdle.

"He's my ex-boyfriend."

Liang Qi raised his eyebrows, "And then?"

Shen Xiyu narrowed his eyes, "You don't look surprised."

Liang Qi didn't want to hide it. He just wanted to see if Shen Xiyu would tell him the truth. Now that his goal has been achieved, if he lied to her again and let her know, she would definitely be unhappy.

"Yes, I've heard of it."

"Not many people know about me and him." Shen Xiyu asked him, "How did you know? When did you know?"

"There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall, and besides..."

Liang Qi turned his head and looked at the traffic outside the window.

"All coincidences and fate are deliberately planned by someone. My intentions are not pure, Shen Xiyu."

The air quieted down. This was a test, a cautious, silent game between two people. Testing each other and their own weight.

"Meow~"

The silence was interrupted by hot pot.

"Want to go out and play?" After all, they had been together day and night for so many years, and Shen Xiyu saw through its little thoughts at a glance, "Don't run too far."

After she finished speaking, Hotpot ran out happily.

"Can it understand what you are saying?" Liang Qi saw that after Hotpot ran out, it really only ran within the sight of the two people.

"Don't look at it as stupid." Chen Xiyu stuffed a string of fish tofu into his mouth, his cheeks puffed up, "It's quite smart. If you spend more time with it, it will get close to you. After all, it liked you the most back then."

"Then will I have a chance to get close to it?"

Shen Xiyu secretly sighed in his heart, this Liang Qi is really now climbing up the pole when there is a pole, and climbing down when there is a step. But it is also his fault for giving him this step.

"That depends on you."

Although it was not a direct answer, Liang Qi still knew that he got the answer he wanted.

Chen Xiyu picked up the topic just now, "Have you investigated us?"

As soon as Liang Qi admitted that he knew about their affairs, Shen Xiyu guessed it. This was actually within her expectations. Liang Qi would not fight an unprepared battle. Although this may not be said in a proper way, this is what she meant.

"It's not really an investigation." Liang Qi said tactfully, "I just made a few inquiries."

"Oh?" Chen Xiyu asked with a smile, "What did you find out?"

"You two have been secretly in love for half a year."

"Yeah." Chen Xiyu admitted, but also quickly explained, "But we haven't been in touch since we broke up, and I don't know why he did this today."

Liang Qi certainly knew that they had no contact after breaking up, but he didn't tell Shen Xiyu.

"Why did you break up?"

"Who are you asking me?" Shen Xiyu teased him deliberately.

"As..." Liang Qi suddenly leaned close to her ear and lowered his voice, "As a one-night stand."

Shen Xiyu didn't expect him to say that, and shrugged, "Not in this capacity."

"Then can I do it as a suitor?"

"Mr. Liang is pursuing me?" Shen Xiyu asked knowingly.

"Can't you see?" Liang Qi leaned forward and straightened up.

"No."

Liang Qi pretended to think, "Then I'll be more obvious next time."

Shen Xiyu was just joking with him and had no intention of really hiding it from him.

"When we were together, I had a character filter for him. He brought the character I wrote to life, and he pursued me so hard, so we ended up together in a daze." Chen Xiyu briefly talked about their past, "The breakup was also expected."

Liang Qi could tell that Shen Xiyu was avoiding the main point, but he just wanted to confirm that Shen Xiyu had no feelings for Chu He, so he didn't want to hear her keep talking about that guy.

"You owe me a meal at noon today." Liang Qi didn't ask any further questions.

Shen Xiyu didn't expect that the matter would be easily revealed.

"You don't have anything else to ask."

"You can tell me when you want to." Liang Qi didn't dwell on it. "After all, it's me in front of you, not him, right?"

“…”

"I'm off on the weekend. Do you have time? I'd like to treat you to a meal." Shen Xiyu answered his previous question.

"I'm free every day."

"I've been wanting to ask you this all day. Have you been unemployed lately?" Shen Xiyu asked doubtfully, "Your company must be very busy."

"My latest job is to keep an eye on your crew," Liang Qi replied, "to see how my first step into the film and television industry is going."

Shen Xiyu found that Liang Qi was much more lively than the previous times they met. He no longer had that gloomy aura that seemed to be staring at her in the dark at any time, but when she turned around, he smiled gently again.

The shadow of the past is coming back little by little.

The man in front of her was completely new, but also the Liang Qi she was familiar with.
