Chapter 108: Living in the same room "The children are making trouble."...
What an ugly dog.
When He Jinze saw Meng Yuzhi's pet, he couldn't help but feel disgusted. Who knew that this ugly dog, which looked ugly and crazy but was wearing gold and silver, had no eyes at all. After barking at He Jinze a few times, it went into Chi Liuai's arms.
Chi Liuai was stiff.
Just now, she was still making a promise to He Jinze, who, after seeing her and Meng Yuzhi saying good morning on the surveillance camera, rushed home as if facing a great enemy and questioned her whether she had been secretly having an affair with Meng Yuzhi for a long time.
——She and Meng Yuzhi are not familiar with each other at all.
Then, Meng Yuzhi's pet rushed towards Chi Liuai enthusiastically when he saw him.
Meng Yuzhi was not a qualified owner either. He just watched his pet play with a faint smile.
This made He Jinze suspicious, and he carefully observed Chi Liuai's reaction.
Dogs always recognize their owners.
When Chi Liuai saw "Run Fast", a big hole was dug in his heart, filled with guilt, and he quickly knelt on the ground and hugged it.
She would not refuse the puppy's hug just because she would arouse He Jinze's suspicion.
Meng Yuzhi's eyes seemed to show a hint of appreciation as he calmly looked at the scene in front of him. Then he said to He Jinze, whose face was full of "You actually hugged another dog!"
"Jin Ze, come with me."
He Jinze glanced at Chi Liuai, then at Meng Yuzhi.
Inside the study, Meng Yuzhi closed the door and slapped He Jinze.
He Jinze stepped back in pain, his back hitting the wall. He covered his face in shock as he looked at his elder brother, who had actually beaten him in his own home.
Meng Yuzhi retracted his strength, raised his hand to look at the marks on He Jinze's face, which were not deep, then raised his eyes and asked him.
"Do you know why you were beaten?"
He Jinze tried hard to breathe, suppressing his anger: "Why are you teaching me a lesson!"
"I think I have the right." Meng Yuzhi turned around and sat on the leather sofa.
He Jinze followed him: "You have something on your mind! Are you attracted to my girlfriend? You're my big brother, how shameless!"
Meng Yuzhi remained calm and said, "Since you had doubts, you should have asked me earlier."
He Jinze paused. Although Meng Yuzhi looked up at him, his eyes were calm and oppressive, without any loss of momentum.
"Instead of losing your temper at a little girl, is that what you should be capable of?"
"You admit it?" He Jinze sneered.
Meng Yuzhi no longer paid attention to He Jinze and loosened the watch in his hand, as if he was not the one who hit someone just now.
"You haven't answered me yet!"
Finally, Meng Yuzhi took a sip of tea.
"I'm not very interested in your fiancée."
There was a smile in Meng Yuzhi's eyes as he said to He Jinze.
"I have a wife."
He Jinze still had doubts. He touched the stinging spot on his face and came up with an idea.
He still reminded Meng Yuzhi impatiently.
"Brother, you can't abandon your sister-in-law, right? You and your sister-in-law must remain faithful to your marriage, otherwise..."
Meng Yuzhi smiled faintly and said, "Of course, I don't need you to remind me of this."
He Jinze went downstairs and coughed intentionally or unintentionally. Chi Liuai was touching the ugly dog. He Jinze went to pour water again, but Chi Liuai didn't pay any attention to him. He Jinze got angry again. He was the only one who appreciated the whole pitiful performance. He had to squeeze in between Chi Liuai and the dog, pushing the dog aside. Chi Liuai looked up at He Jinze.
Then he said, "You look good today."
He Jinze suddenly became anxious. What did he mean by looking good? It was obviously because he was beaten by Meng Yuzhi. But he suddenly realized that if Chi Liuai knew about such a spineless thing as being beaten, his status would plummet. So he had no words to say and could only vent his anger on the annoying dog next to him.
"Only an abnormal person like my eldest brother would raise such an ugly dog." He Jinze said harshly.
But Chi Liuai ignored him. He Jinze came forward and wanted to continue to belittle the dog with her, in order to imply that Meng Yuzhi had poor taste and was not a good candidate for a spouse, so that Chi Liuai would lose interest in Meng Yuzhi.
"This dog looks very old, just like my brother." He Jinze said, "Old."
Chi Liuai answered slowly: "It's only four years old."
He Jinze glanced at him and said, "Really? I thought he was forty. My brother is already in his thirties. He's old."
Chi Liuai turned away and didn't want to talk to He Jinze.
He Jinze felt so uncomfortable being ignored, and squeezed towards Chi Liuai awkwardly.
"Why are you ignoring me? What's so funny about this dog? He looks just as dumb as his owner."
Chi Liuai's face turned pale, and she was really angry. She picked up the fatter puppy with great effort and showed it to He Jinze from all angles.
"Don't you think he's very agile? He was the running champion when he graduated from pet school!"
It's completely invisible.
He Jinze hesitated to speak.
"It is now a famous champion in the world pet beauty pageant and has been a community treasure hunter for three consecutive years." Meng Yuzhi's gentle voice came from upstairs, following his footsteps.
The power of money, it's that simple.
He Jinze really couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and still stubbornly commented in Chi Liuai's ear - ugly.
Chi Liuai's blood boiled instantly. It turned out that no one could accept his child like Meng Yuzhi did! The memories of having to abandon the puppy, Lin Zhun raising it, and now, under Meng Yuzhi's meticulous care, it had become a world-class athlete in both running and appearance. Chi Liuai couldn't help but feel proud and guilty. Her heart was already choking, and before she could shed tears, He Jinze's provocations came first.
Chi Liuai was so eager to protect his own people that he was irritated by He Jinze's sarcasm and raised his hand to slap He Jinze.
He Jinze covered the other side of his face and frowned.
It’s not that he doesn’t want Liu Ai to touch him in public, but this little bit of force would be misunderstood by Meng Yuzhi as Liu Ai slapping him.
He Jinze was also afraid that Meng Yuzhi would misunderstand Liu Ai. After all, if Meng Yuzhi disagreed with their relationship, it would be a loss.
Therefore, when He Jinze subconsciously observed Meng Yuzhi's expression, he slightly pushed Meng Yuzhi's eyes away from Chi Liuai.
I always feel uncomfortable all over.
Because that is the love, care and appreciation that will overflow.
It's like being proud of seeing a child grow up and become capable.
He Jinze lowered his head and kissed Chi Liuai, and Chi Liuai did not avoid the kiss.
Meng Yuzhi calmly walked past the two of them and went out.
He Jinze was bitten by a dog.
This was probably an accident.
In order to express his apology, Meng Yuzhi used his own private doctor to take care of He Jinze, and during this period he wanted to send the dog away, and He Jinze agreed.
Chi Liuai gave He Jinze a cold look for a long time and even refused to eat at the same table with him. He Jinze had no choice but to take the dog back.
He really hated this ugly dog, and it wasn't directed at Meng Yuzhi.
He Jinze hates anything that can attract Chi Liuai's attention.
That kind of look is enough to just look at him.
Later, He Jinze, who hated puppies very much, also went through many pet competitions and selected a good and excellent contestant. Holding the pet he carefully selected, it was drizzling that day. He Jinze put his coat on the pet, and walked to Chi Liuai with a stern face as if he was holding a child.
He didn't feel like he was trying to be nice, so he said it firmly.
"I still think it looks better."
Chi Liuai pushed aside his wet suit jacket, revealing a snow-white dog underneath. The dog glanced at him with disdain, the same look as He Jinze's.
Chi Liuai named it "White".
He Jinze felt that Chi Liuai's naming taste was as low as Meng Yuzhi's wife's.
Whenever Chi Liuai wanted to touch the ugly dog, He Jinze would squeeze next to Chi Liuai holding "Longbai".
A sentence floated out in a helpless and resentful tone.
"Baby, Mommy doesn't want you anymore~"
Or, proudly hold up this beauty pageant puppy and let Chi Liuai see true beauty.
"I think our child is better looking than the one chosen by Meng Yuzhi's wife."
He Jinze also didn't know why Chi Liuai had been looking at him so harshly during this period of time.
After thinking about it, I feel that the fundamental reason is that Liu'ai likes him too much and always likes to look at him, otherwise why would he have the expression to look at him?
When he thought of this, He Jinze felt an indescribable sense of pride, and secretly competed with Meng Yuzhi.
Meng Yuzhi also felt this.
Whenever He Jinze felt Chi Liuai's love, he would always turn around in front of Meng Yuzhi.
For example, right now, Meng Yuzhi glanced at the slap mark on He Jinze's right cheek, ignoring his proud expression, and asked, "Are you free?"
He Jinze said, "Liu Ai said she doesn't like older men. Of course, she didn't mean you're old."
Meng Yuzhi remained calm and said in a calm tone, "You're not young anymore."
He Jinze was suddenly hit in the sore spot and looked for trouble.
"So we're getting married soon!"
Meng Yuzhi finally gave He Jinze a look.
"Really? Then I will give you a wedding gift." Meng Yuzhi smiled at He Jinze, "Does your fiancée like wine tasting?"
Chi Liuai did have a period of alcoholism.
It took He Jinze a long time to help Chi Liuai reduce his dependence on alcohol.
Now I just enjoy having a drink in the evening.
So, the gift Meng Yuzhi gave was what Chi Liuai liked, and He Jinze took Chi Liuai to the Meng family wine cellar to choose a few bottles of good wine.
It was only on the way that Chi Liuai learned of his destination, and he became extremely uneasy.
Is there anything more terrifying than sitting in Meng Yuzhi's car, being taken to Meng's house by your boyfriend, and choosing a wedding gift?
He Jinze was resistant to the Meng residence. When he entered, he was already thinking about taking good care of Chi Liuai. Seeing Chi Liuai's pitiful pale face, he was even more worried that she would not be able to adapt to the Meng family.
Arriving at Meng's residence and walking through a landscaped courtyard, He Jinze initially had to take care of his girlfriend as it was her first visit to Meng's residence, fearing that she might feel too restrained.
There was no reason for it. Chi Liuai was even more familiar with the layout of the house than he was. Even Meng Yuzhi, who was originally half a step faster than them, slowly moved to the same distance as Chi Liuai. When he said to He Jinze who was squeezed to the back, "Come in", Chi Liuai also followed his host and slightly turned to look at He Jinze.
This scene was very much like a host and hostess entertaining guests, and the perfect match made He Jinze speechless.
I've had this feeling before, for example, how did Chi Liuai know that the ugly dog was a running champion?
Nothing in the layout of the house has changed.
Chi Liuai subconsciously sat back in his original seat and looked at Meng Yuzhi's expression. He seemed not to notice him at all and was just chatting with He Jinze.
This gave Chi Liuai the courage and patience to carefully examine Meng Yuzhi.
Three years later, Meng Yuzhi has become more mature, and the years have taken care of him a lot. His tight skin wrapped around his bones, and he looked indifferent and tired. His slightly lonely temperament gave people the illusion of being close yet distant. Even now, when he cast an unintentional glance at her, with a smile not reaching his eyes, he seemed to be very good-tempered and greeted Chi Liuai with a slightly glazed look, responding to the eye contact. But Chi Liuai didn't feel that Meng Yuzhi cared about her at all. Chi Liuai looked at the original bedroom again and thought of the time they spent together.
Meng Yuzhi looked away and turned the topic to He Jinze's father.
He Jinze didn't have much affection for his father, and he never gave him any love.
After hearing this, Meng Yuzhi said calmly, "Your eyes are like his, very good."
He Jinze thought this was a shame.
His father's romantic affairs have caused He Jinze to bear too many misunderstandings. From childhood to adulthood, in order to get rid of these strange looks and even the pressure from his elders, he has been self-disciplined to maintain a healthy relationship between men and women. Except for the first time he saw Chi Liuai, the feeling was indescribable.
Maybe it was because Chi Liuai was good-looking, eye-catching, and someone that people couldn't help but bully.
It was something he was too familiar with. After seeing Chi Liuai's tears, he always felt as if he owed her something in his previous life and could not ignore her.
"Liu Ai also said that she likes my eyes." He Jinze glanced at Meng Yuzhi, watching his expression.
Meng Yuzhi's expression remained unchanged, and he simply said, "It's getting late."
He looked over He Jinze's shoulder and spoke to Chi Liuai.
"Please come over, Miss Chi. I don't really know what kind of wine young girls like."
Chi Liuai is already certain that Meng Yuzhi has lost his memory.
In the past, Meng Yuzhi would not allow her to drink more than a few sips and get drunk.
"Have you forgotten your headache?" He Jinze finally stopped Chi Liuai who was wantonly wholesale.
As if with Meng Yuzhi's permission, Chi Liuai indulged himself in drinking.
He Jinze's words were useless. Chi Liuai scolded him instead: "Stay away from me and leave me alone!"
She walked around He Jinze in a huff and went to the counter deep inside. Suddenly, she felt a layer of cold wind pressing on her ankles. Chi Liuai felt her back numb, as if a cold light had hit her body. She hurriedly looked back.
"Click--" The safety door lock next to the counter turned quickly and locked.
At this moment, she saw He Jinze running towards her hurriedly through the crack in the door, and Chi Liuai nervously called out, "Brother."
Perhaps there was a power outage, and the light everywhere disappeared in an instant. Chi Liuai was trapped in the silent and dark space, and felt that the air had become much thinner.
It seemed as if someone else's breathing was robbing her of oxygen.
Chi Liuai's heart was beating violently, pressing against his chest and thumping irregularly.
Chi Liuai tried to turn the safety lock.
"You'll hurt your hands."
A man's gentle voice came slowly from the darkness. Meng Yuzhi walked slowly, but he seemed to be very familiar with the route and easily reached Chi Liuai.
There was also a night light in his hand, and the dim light made the man's side jaw look soft. Chi Liuai looked at Meng Yuzhi's eyelashes after he lowered his eyes, his heart sank, and he swallowed silently.
After Meng Yuzhi looked at the lock, he looked at Chi Liuai and said, "The power supply of the safety lock is burned out. It won't open."
The two remained quiet.
Chi Liuai anxiously squeezed himself into the corner near the door, and from time to time, he looked at Meng Yuzhi cautiously with a bright and upright look.
Meng Yuzhi didn't avoid it and smiled faintly at her.
Chi Liuai's hair stood on end.
"Well, I heard that you are looking for your wife?" Chi Liuai looked at Meng Yuzhi's expression.
Meng Yuzhi said, "Yes."
"Why do you think she left you?" Chi Liuai found it difficult to hide his eyes, and his eagerness to ask was somewhat strange, but Meng Yuzhi just responded directly.
"I'm sorry, but I can't answer that question."
Why?
Hasn’t Meng Yuzhi reflected on himself yet?
Chi Liuai was a little unhappy. His originally bitter face wrinkled and he looked at Meng Yuzhi questioningly, his eyes full of accusations against him.
"Why?" The words came out of his mouth, and it was too late for Chi Liuai to regret.
The good-tempered man seemed to be very understanding of the little girl's impulsive temper.
After a moment's hesitation, his answer was gentle and perfunctory, unlike his previous one.
Meng Yuzhi told Chi Liuai seriously.
"I don't want to talk about my wife casually outside."
There was no accusation in the tone, so Chi Liuai didn't feel uncomfortable. The habit of getting along with Meng Yuzhi was engraved in her bones, and she was accustomed to accepting words that would scare others.
"I see. What would happen if you found it?"
Meng Yuzhi placed the lamp at Chi Liuai's feet. Chi Liuai raised her eyes. The man who was looking down at her just smiled faintly without saying a word.
Chi Liuai's face was brushed by the man's drooping woolen coat, and she smelled the familiar scent of grass and trees, simple and cold.
She continued to ask the knot buried in her heart: "If you can't find one, will you find another wife, someone who is very similar to her, and fall in love and get married?"
This is what Chi Liuai did. If Meng Yuzhi gave a positive answer, Chi Liuai thought she would be very sad.
But if Meng Yuzhi denied this idea, Chi Liuai would feel extremely guilty, afraid, ashamed, and even blame himself, and perhaps even worried that Meng Yuzhi's memory would recover.
She couldn't explain the emotion, she looked down at the swaying shadows cast by the dim light, and hid inside.
After a while, the light laughter from Meng Yuzhi's chest echoed above Chi Liuai's head.
She heard the man's helpless laugh and sighed.
Just said: "Children are fooling around."
Chi Liuai loosened his curled toes and found himself curled up in Meng Yuzhi's shadow, as if being hugged by Meng Yuzhi.
