Qin Zun worked overtime and rushed home. When he opened the door and saw Tang Shiyao for the first time, he saw a disheveled woman sitting in front of his dining table, pouncing on her food like a hungry wolf.
Perhaps she heard the sound of him opening the door, the other person raised her head, and their eyes met, staring at each other from a distance for a few seconds.
Qin Zun spoke first: "Who are you? Why are you in my house?"
Tang Shiyao quickly put down her chopsticks, wiped the oil from her mouth, and tried to explain: "It's me! I'm Tongtong's best friend Tang Shiyao. We met at the door before."
"oh."
Qin Zun then found a person from his memory. It was true that they had met once before, but when he met Tang Shiyao, she looked completely different from what she looks like now. She was not as disheveled as she is now.
It was no wonder Qin Zun didn't recognize Tang Shiyao right away. She hadn't even combed her hair yet and was still wearing pajamas, looking unkempt. The atmosphere between the two of them was truly awkward. Tang Shiyao immediately said, "Please wait! I'll go wash up first! I have something to tell you later."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and ran up to Tonghua's room. After she finished washing up, she came to the living room and found Qin Zun waiting for her on the sofa.
Tang Shiyao stood two meters away from Qin Zun and explained why she suddenly appeared at his house: "I don't know if Tonghua told you that I stayed here overnight yesterday."
Seeing Qin Zun's lack of reaction, Tang Shiyao continued to talk to herself: "Probably not, otherwise you wouldn't be so surprised when you saw me, haha."
"Then what?"
Seeing the other person so calm, Tang Shiyao felt that her smile was silly. She coughed and said seriously, "I want to ask you a few questions about Tongtong. I hope you can answer them seriously."
"good."
"Excuse me, Mr. Qin, have you been working overtime these days?"
"yes."
"Second question, have you not called Tongtong during these days of overtime? Why?"
Before Qin Zun answered, Tang Shiyao stared straight at Qin Zun, unwilling to miss any expression on his face, which involved whether he was lying about this issue.
Qin Zun frowned. He never liked to explain things to others. It was only because Tang Shiyao said that the question she asked was related to fairy tales that he was willing to waste time answering.
After a long while, Qin Zun finally replied, "I want to see her sooner."
Tang Shiyao understood the rest even without Qin Zun saying anything.
All this man wanted was to work overtime early, finish his work, and then go home early to see Tonghua. During this period, the reason why he didn't call Tonghua was because once he heard the other person's voice, he would feel attached and want to meet her, and he would not be able to concentrate on his work.
I remember that she also went through that stage when she first fell in love.
"The third question is, what are your feelings about fairy tales? Do you want to continue this marriage?"
Qin Zun's lips were almost pressed into a straight line. He never confided his feelings to others in public. He felt that even if it was his wife's best friend, asking this question would be a bit too offensive.
Qin Zun didn't seem to want to answer, so Tang Shiyao took a step back and said, "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, but if you really have feelings for Tongtong and want to keep your marriage going, I hope you can treat her seriously. She's been having a hard time. Although she doesn't say it, I know that you've been working overtime and haven't contacted her during this period, and she's been having all sorts of thoughts in her mind."
Yesterday she chatted with Tongtong, and sometimes they talked about the person who is with her now. She could see a hint of sadness and worry in Tongtong's eyes.
Tonghua has been trying her best to hide her feelings for Qin Zun. As a wife, she wants to contact her husband who is working overtime openly and ask him to take care of his health.
But because of the special nature of their marriage, Tonghua couldn't interfere too much in Qin Zun's affairs. When she received a call from Qin Zun saying that he had to work overtime, and then the other party didn't contact her for several days, she didn't even have the right to ask why. She could only hide the doubts in her heart and not let Qin Zun know.
After Tonghua confided all this to Tang Shiyao, she felt deeply distressed for her best friend.
Even about the quarrel between Tong Hua and her father, Tang Shiyao guessed that Tongtong did not intend to tell Qin Zun, nor did she want Tang Shiyao to tell Qin Zun about it, so when she got Qin Zun's phone number, she did not contact Qin Zun in front of Tongtong.
Even if her best friend objected, she still wanted to ask Qin Zun why for her best friend.
Qin Zun was a smart man. When Tang Shiyao said this, Qin Zun realized something: "Did Tonghua get into trouble during the days I was away?"
Tang Shiyao explained: "Tongtong had a big fight with her father yesterday. She was in a bad mood, so I came here to accompany her. She refused to tell me the specific reason, and I didn't ask any further."
Since Tongtong didn't want her to dig into the matter, she wouldn't ask about it and make Tongtong upset.
I played with Tonghua the whole day yesterday to keep her busy so that she wouldn't have time to let her thoughts wander.
Qin Zun looked at Tang Shiyao with a kinder look: "You helped my wife, I can satisfy you with any reward you ask for."
When Tonghua was in a bad mood and he was not around, Tang Shiyao took the initiative to step forward and help her comfort Tonghua. Qin Zun was very grateful to Tang Shiyao.
Tang Shiyao retorted unyieldingly, "I don't need your reward! Don't forget, before Tongtong became your wife, she was my best friend. Maybe in Tongtong's heart, her and I are much closer than you are. It's definitely not your turn to thank her."
Was this man's inexplicable possessiveness a declaration that Tongtong was his? She, Tang Shiyao, was the first to disagree! He had no right to thank her on Tongtong's behalf.
Qin Zun: "I was not considerate in what I said just now. I owe you a favor. If you need any help in the future, you can call this number."
Qin Zun took out a black and gold-embossed business card from his shirt pocket and handed it to Tang Shiyao.
Tang Shiyao took it and looked at it. There were only two short lines of words on the business card, which read:
Qin
Tang Shiyao appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, she was complaining to the point of bursting with complaints.
Is this really a business card?
That "Qin" means "Qin", right?
And what's the phone number?
Is that their company phone number?
Who would print the company’s phone number on their business card for no reason?
......
Tang Shiyao had so much to complain about that she finally chose to shut up.
