Chapter 5 Is he shameless?
The rain lashed everything in a frenzy, pounding against the window frames, walls, leaves, and ground.
On such a terrible rainy day, if it weren't for Chen Li's mess, the three best friends would have spent a rare night together, ordered some barbecue skewers, opened some good wine, and had a heart-to-heart talk, which would have been a real spiritual celebration.
But at this moment, only thick dark clouds floated above everyone's heads.
"Looks like he's really disgusted." Xu Zhuwen, wearing a bathrobe that revealed her beautiful white collarbone, frowned deeply as she listened to the vomiting sounds coming from the bathroom. "I wonder if Qian Song has fed Baiwan yet."
Baiwan is Xu Zhuwen's cat, and Qian Song is her boyfriend. The two are currently living together in a house they jointly rent.
"Why don't you just ask?"
Gao Yinxi took out the food boxes one by one from the bag. The packaging bags were wet from the rain, so she carefully threw them into the trash can. The lunch boxes inside were all tightly wrapped in plastic wrap.
The outside didn't get wet in the rain, and the soup inside didn't spill either.
"I asked, but I didn't get a reply." Xu Zhuwen tossed her phone onto the table in front of her, her face grim and unpleasant.
Gao Yinxi picked up a piece of pig's trotter and took a bite. "I had Yanshu personally go to the 'Liu's Snack Shop' next door to get this. Eat up."
"Liu's Snack Shop" is a 30-year-old restaurant hidden in a small alley, catering mainly to the local residents.
It opens at 5:00 PM every day and stays open until 4:00 AM.
We don't offer delivery; customers have to go to the store to eat or take away if they want to eat there.
It is famous throughout the city because of its excellent dishes and reputation.
Six Senses also provides three meals a day. However, Li Chian has a deep love for the private dishes of "Liu's Snack Shop". Otherwise, in such heavy rain, Gao Yinxi would not have let her younger brother go over to pack the food.
It's only a few hundred meters away, and it's not convenient to drive there.
Xu Zhuwen picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of beef, and put it down again, saying, "I can't eat this."
She downed her drink in one gulp, then picked up the wine jug beside her and refilled her glass. "Can't the data on the phone be recovered?"
Her emotions are easily affected by external factors.
Having just heard about Chen Li's situation, he was furious and wished he could drag his cousin-in-law over and whip his corpse three hundred times. He was too angry to eat.
Gao Yinxi is different; she has always been a ruthless person who remains calm even when Mount Tai collapses before her.
So far, nothing has happened that has made her lose her appetite.
In her daily life, she has to eat on time, whether there's nothing to do or not, and she has to eat well.
“Chi’an still needs us to take care of her. If you don’t eat properly, how will you have the strength to help her?”
Gao Yinxi placed a tender pig's trotter into Xu Zhuwen's bowl. The skin of the trotter had been stewed until it was amber and translucent, as if it were wrapped in honey and gelatin. It reflected an oily sheen under the light and trembled as it clung to the bone. "I've come to see. The motherboard is broken, and it will be difficult to restore."
Xu Zhuwen stared at the piece of pig's trotter that she had picked up, "Oh dear, it's too fatty, I'm not eating it."
Gao Yinxi paused for a second, then used the tip of her chopsticks to pick up the piece of pig's trotter and put it in her mouth. "I don't care anymore, eat it or don't."
A bone was thrown into the trash can next to it.
After finishing a few pig's trotters, she got up again to check on Li Chi'an, still feeling uneasy. But as soon as she reached the bathroom door and raised her hand, she heard a suppressed whimper from inside, like a kitten whimpering in pain.
"Still crying." Gao Yinxi sighed deeply and sat down again.
"I'm so angry." Xu Zhuwen rubbed her chest in frustration.
She vaguely felt a pressure there, neither rising nor falling, making her back ache even when she straightened up slightly.
"That bastard Chen Li, he has the guts to sleep with women, but no money to go to a hotel?"
I'm really going to die, I have to bring this person home.
"Isn't he despicable?!"
"She's a slut who can't control her lower body from messing around." Gao Yinxi picked up a piece of crispy fried spicy chicken from the lunchbox in front of her, put it in her mouth and munched on it. "Poor Xiao Gu, having such a terrible dad."
Thinking of Xiao Gu, Xu Zhuwen got angry again, "Xiao Gu is only six years old."
Gao Yinxi gripped her chopsticks, her pretty face turning cold, her eyes slightly icy, and her delicate nose resembling the peaks of a snow-capped mountain.
"Those who betray sincerity will suffer a thousand needles. Fortune will turn, and Chen Li will see."
"I wish him all the worst, that everything goes wrong for him, and that he has bad luck every day."
"You'll never get rich; you'll be plagued by poverty and get poorer and poorer."
"die young!"
"Nothing will work!"
They might not be able to eat together, but when it comes to denouncing scumbag men, Xu Zhuwen and Gao Yinxi have a lot in common.
When Li Chi'an came out of the bathroom, he saw his two friends huddled on the sofa, cursing and swearing. He felt like crying, but also a little amused.
"Come and eat, it's all your favorite food." Xu Zhuwen moved aside to make room for Li Chian.
"You can continue." Li Chi'an sat down next to Xu Zhuwen, picked up her glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
Gao Yinxi reached out and pinched Li Chi'an's wet face, looking at her as if she were a pale, helpless, pitiful little deer that had lost its way in the forest. "How come you're so obedient? You can't even scold a dog properly."
“Exactly, exactly.” Xu Zhuwen looked at Li Chian with utter contempt.
If her cousin could swear like the two of them, she wouldn't have to worry about this guy's breasts and uterus.
...
At the same time, in the old town of Xianghai City, inside a three-bedroom apartment with mottled exterior walls.
"Dad, you've come to pick me up?" A little boy with fair skin and a round, cute face, wearing a light blue cotton pajama, sat on the sofa. He looked up and saw a young man enter the room. He jumped off the old-fashioned wooden sofa, ran to Chen Li, and hugged his arm.
"Yes, where's Grandma?" Chen Li patted her son's head. "So well-behaved, reading a book?"
"Yes, Dad, there are some words I don't know. Can you teach me?" The little boy was very happy to see his father.
"Which ones don't you recognize?" Chen Li led his son by the hand and sat down on the long wooden bench.
"These few." The little boy raised his hand and pointed out a few unfamiliar characters.
“qi栖, the 栖 of 栖息.” Chen Li gently leaned closer to his son, holding a picture book in his hand.
"Qiqi?" The little boy tilted his head, his round and cute face full of confusion. "I know Qi, but this Qi looks different from that Qi, Dad."
Chen Li rubbed her son's head and laughed, "It's a different kind of 'Qi'. Are there any others you don't know? I'll read them to you together. If not, I'll go find Grandma."
The little boy pursed his lips, "No, Dad, Grandma is hanging up the laundry."
Chen Li took a large cushion from the side and placed it behind her son.
"Why are you so late?" Wang Hui hung up the washed clothes one by one on the clothes rack.
