Chapter 203 "When will you leave?"
Mu Jia glanced at Song Mingxi with a hint of suspicion.
Song Mingxi immediately returned to his usual sharp-tongued nature and glanced at Xie Siyan in a sarcastic manner in front of her.
"If I don't come, I'm afraid you'll be completely deceived by him and lose your way."
Mu Jia's heart tightened, and she sighed that what was coming had finally come. She was already worried about how to explain it to Song Mingxi.
But now, in front of three people, with Xie Siyan right next to her, she could only force a smile and explain in a gentle voice, "He didn't lie to me."
Mu Jia felt a little uncomfortable with four people being in the same room.
She didn't want to explain what happened between them in front of Zhou Xu, but she was also afraid that Song Mingxi would ask about the private topics they had discussed between the best friends before.
What's more, no matter what, Song Mingxi and Zhou Xu came to visit the patient, and the ward was not a place for chatting after all.
Xie Siyan couldn't be discharged from the hospital yet. As the person who should be making arrangements, Mu Jia had no choice but to take Song Mingxi's arm and suggest:
"It's still early, how about we go downstairs and have some breakfast and chat while we eat?" After saying that, she looked at Zhou Xu a little awkwardly, "How about... I treat you two?"
Song Mingxi hadn't stood with Zhou Xu since they entered the room. When he heard the proposal, he walked over to her, took her arm and agreed, "Okay."
Then he leaned over to Mu Jia's ear and lowered his voice, "Jia Jia, I have to have a good talk with you later -
How did you get back together with Xie Siyan? If I'm not satisfied with the process, he won't be able to get away with it easily."
After saying that, she glared at Xie Siyan, obviously venting her anger for her best friend.
Mu Jia was already feeling very embarrassed because of the nonsense he had just had with Xie Siyan. Upon hearing this, he nodded quickly and stopped Song Mingxi from continuing.
Zhou Xu was still immersed in the game, seemingly completely absorbed. When he heard they had made their decision, he waved his hand without even looking up, "I'm not hungry. Go ahead."
Mu Jia looked at Zhou Xu hesitantly, and when he raised his hand, his eyes flashed to Xie Siyan.
He himself looked relaxed, feeling refreshed after venting his anger. Seeing that Song Mingxi was clearly here to "question an accusation", he was too lazy to deal with it. He simply leaned back on the bed, like a patient who didn't want to pay any attention to any guests.
Seeing that Mu Jia was still concerned about Zhou Xu, he raised his eyes and looked at her from a distance, then nodded slightly, as if to say something -
"You go, he can stay here."
Since that was what he said, Mu Jia did not hesitate.
Before leaving, she looked at Zhou Xu again.
Zhou Xu seemed to have been sucked away by the game. He didn't finish the game until Mu Jia and Song Mingxi left the ward. He threw the Switch away and lay down heavily on the accompanying bed next to him.
The air was quiet for half a minute.
Zhou Xu suddenly said sullenly, "You don't know how exhausted I've been lately... I feel like my marriage can't hold on any longer."
Xie Siyan raised his eyebrows,?
Zhou Xu complained to himself, "It's a nightmare. It's my fault that I can't breathe at home now. If I hadn't used the excuse of you being sick to come out for some fresh air, we would have already lined up at the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Xie Siyan didn't say anything else. His tone was neither salty nor bland, and he even raised his eyelids: "So you come to my place to hide away?"
Zhou Xu smiled bitterly: "How can this be considered as hiding from the public? I'm just concerned about you!" Then he sat up and walked around Xie Siyan. As the brothers gathered together, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
He looked and looked, but couldn't see what was wrong with Xie Siyan, so he reached out to touch Xie Siyan's chest, but the other party was quick to grab his wrist.
"What are you doing?" Xie Siyan gave him a cold look.
"We are all brothers, let me see what's wrong with you."
Zhou Xu returned to his playful nature.
He has a rich love history and is sensitive to the atmosphere. In fact, there is no need to guess too much. The sudden statement released by China Construction Group, coupled with the photos posted by Mu Jia first, he just can't believe that it was Mu Jia who took the initiative to expose it.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Siyan suspiciously: "Are you pretending to be sick to trick people?"
Seeing that Zhou Xu had come out of his self-pitying sadness, he started gossiping about himself.
Xie Siyan was too lazy to respond, he just lowered his eyes lazily and asked:
"When are you leaving?"
——
Mu Jia and Song Mingxi came to a breakfast shop downstairs from the hospital.
Mu Jia bought breakfast here yesterday. He had the impression that this place had a wide variety of dishes, from steamed buns, millet porridge to stir-fries like Kung Pao Chicken, and they tasted pretty good too.
The two of them each picked a few items in the self-service area, then sat down facing each other with their trays.
Mu Jia looked at Song Mingxi and asked curiously:
"Why did you suddenly think of coming to South City...for vacation?"
In fact, she didn't know the specific reason for their trip, so she chose the word that was least likely to go wrong.
Song Mingxi opened the celery and lean meat bun in his hand, but seemed to have no appetite. He put the bun back on the plate and picked up the spoon to casually stir the soy milk in the bowl.
"I just went out for a walk. I'm almost depressed from taking care of the kids at home every day." She said, looking out the window.
It was the middle of winter, and even in the south, most pedestrians were wearing thick coats.
A couple walked past the window arm in arm, laughing and joking.
Song Mingxi's gaze lingered on them for a moment before he slowly retracted his gaze and coughed softly:
"I'm planning to divorce Zhou Xu."
Like thunder coming out of the blue, Mu Jia didn't expect that she would make a stunning debut. Caught off guard, the spoon in her hand fell into the bowl with a "bang", making a huge noise.
The guests next to them cast surprised glances at them. Mu Jia apologized and cleaned up the mess on the table. She lowered her voice in disbelief and asked Song Mingxi, "What happened?"
Song Mingxi forced a bitter laugh: "You were right last time, I thought it was too simple."
When her best friends reunited, Song Mingxi opened up completely.
"Before I even finished my confinement, his parents started urging me to have a second child, implying they hoped the Zhou family would have a son to carry on the family line. And Zhou Xu? He never said a word, just avoided his parents, leaving me to deal with it all on my own." She paused, her voice lowering. "We recently brought the baby back from the hospital, and he ran away because he was too noisy... and was even photographed with that little celebrity from the past."
Mu Jia thought about Zhou Xu's past of keeping himself clean after marriage and was surprised, "Is there some misunderstanding? Didn't you say before that he was still pursuing you..."
Song Mingxi sneered: "A dog will always eat shit. I shouldn't have believed him." After saying that, she held her chin and turned her face away.
Mu Jia asked softly, "Mingxi, are you... in love with him? Does he know?"
Song Mingxi turned his face away and after a long while, he spoke in a muffled voice.
"Whether he knows it or not, it doesn't matter anymore."
