Chapter 12 Don't Cry Next Time

Wen Zhihan looked at the dishes on the table. In the middle was sweet and sour pork ribs. There was a sour and sweet smell in the air.

"Mr. Qi, aren't you going to eat?" She turned and looked at Qi Yanjing who was putting on his coat.

Qi Yanjing's eyes fell on her. He watched her go into the kitchen, take out two pairs of chopsticks and two bowls, turn around and look at him and say, "It's time to eat."

He stopped where he was, watching her put the dishes and chopsticks in order with a serious look in his eyes, and then walked towards the dining table.

"I just picked up a few ingredients from the refrigerator," he said.

Wen Zhixian laughed and said, "Thank you. I was planning to have these dishes tonight."

She picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in the bowl. She was surprised that it tasted quite good.

I couldn't help but praise him: "Mr. Qi, you are quite good at cooking."

The corners of Qi Yanjing's lips curved up in an imperceptible arc.

Maybe because she had told Mr. Qi about her troubles, the depression in her heart was no longer so strong. She had no appetite at first, but now she was really hungry, so she ate faster.

Qi Yanjing glanced at Miss Wen who was eating seriously. She seemed to be thinner than when he first met her. She had a clear jawline and a long neck. Her already fair skin seemed to glow under the light.

Wen Zhixian felt the gaze and turned to look at Qi Yanjing. He just swallowed the rice in his mouth, blinked his dry eyes, and asked, "Did I eat too fast?"

He shook his head, looked away, and lowered his head to eat. "I just think you're thinner than when I first saw you. Eat more."

She said "Oh" and nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Then she should eat more. A stinky man like Gu Yuchen will never be worthy of making her sad again.

Hearing Miss Wen answering him seriously, he laughed.

In the end, Wen Zhixian finished the whole plate of sweet and sour pork ribs he made.

After dinner, she put the dishes into the dishwasher. When she came back, Qi Yanjing had already wiped the table and placed the vase in the middle of the dining table, adjusting the angle of the vase.

"Mr. Qi, thank you for cooking for me today." She thanked Qi Yanjing.

Qi Yanjing wiped his hands with a tissue, said "You're welcome", looked up at her, and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Wen Zhixian responded, "Then be careful on the road."

As she was about to take him downstairs, she was stopped by Qi Yanjing, "You take a rest, I'll go down by myself."

He stopped at the entrance, turned around and said to her, "Ms. Wen, don't ask a strange man whether he wants to get married or not. Don't let a strange man into your house. There are many people with bad intentions."

Wen Zhixian nodded, "Got it."

He had a lot more to say, but he felt he had overstepped the mark. He was silent for a few seconds and finally said, "Don't cry next time."

Wen Zhixian was dissatisfied and whispered, "I don't like to cry."

It just happened that he saw it every time!

Qi Yanjing pulled his lower lip and laughed briefly, "Oh."

Wen Zhihan felt that he was laughing at him, but he had no evidence.

"I'm leaving." He opened the door and walked out, closing the door behind him.

After getting out of the elevator, I lowered my head and sent an address to my friend asking him to pick me up.

Qin Zhaoli and Song Kairui passed him by. Song Kairui suddenly stopped and looked at Qi Yanjing who was standing outside the gate of the community.

"What are you looking at?" Qin Zhaoli looked in the direction he was looking. He saw a man with an extremely superior figure, but he couldn't see his face.

Song Kairui exclaimed, "When he walked past me just now, I thought he was the guy I met at the banquet before. At first glance, they really look alike."

Just now he passed by them with his back to the light. Qin Zhaoli didn't even see his face and didn't care.

The two of them pressed the elevator button and went straight to the ninth floor. After pressing the doorbell, Qin Zhaoli said, "I don't know if she is awake or not."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened before Song Kairui could say anything.

"Why are you here so late?" Wen Zhixian opened the door and let them in.

Song Kairui handed her the food box he brought and said jokingly, "I'm afraid you'll starve to death at home."

Wen Zhixian took it and said, "Thank you for coming so late."

She placed the lunch boxes on the table, poured them some water, and then sat down.

"Did Uncle Wen and Aunt Shen tell you?" Song Kairui asked.

Wen Zhihan lowered her voice and said "hmm". Although she knew that her parents would not blame her if they knew the truth, she felt uncomfortable with her parents' constant praise of Gu Yuchen. Her first reaction after breaking up with Gu Yuchen was to say bad things about her.

"I told Uncle Wen everything when he called me. I felt so guilty. Aunt Shen is such a calm person, but she burst into tears when she heard that Gu Yuchen hit you." To be honest, she had never seen Aunt Shen like this before.

Song Kairui also said, "It's all Gu Yuchen's fault."

Qin Zhaoli was amused: "Does Gu Yuchen know that his good friends are talking about him like this behind his back?"

Song Kairui shrugged nonchalantly: "I didn't say he was not that."

Wen Zhixian laughed and said, "I don't mean to blame my parents. I was in a bad mood at the time and was very emotional."

Hearing her say this, they felt relieved.

Qin Zhaoli glanced at the time. It was already half past seven. "You should eat first."

"But I've already eaten. I just cleared the table five minutes before you came."

Qin Zhaoli was stunned for a moment, staring at her face. Her eyes were a little red, obviously she had been crying. How could she cook by herself in this situation?

Not to mention Qin Zhaoli, even Song Kairui felt something was wrong.

"With whom?"

She didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I ran away from my parents' house, and Mr. Qi took me back and even cooked for me."

With just this one sentence, Qin Zhaoli and Song Kairui kept asking questions -

"Who is Mr. Qi?"

"Why did he send you back?"

“Why does he still cook for you?”

Wen Zhixian looked at Qin Zhaoli and said seriously, "It's the one who helped me pick up my keys and lipstick and brought them back to me. You saw it in the cafe this morning."

"Him." She changed the subject: "Are you familiar with him?"

"I can't say we're familiar, but we're just casual acquaintances." We haven't even said each other's names, let alone contact information.

Song Kairui still said: "You can't let such a strange man into your house. It's very dangerous."

She nodded: "I know, he told me too."

"Fortunately, the person you met wasn't some beast in human form." He said, as if he had thought of something, "Last time, Gu Yuchen called me and said that you were having dinner with a man. Was it him?"

Wen Zhixian admitted: "It was him, because he sent me a cake the day before yesterday, and I met him at the gate of their school yesterday, so I invited him to dinner, using the money my dad transferred to me."

When she said this, she suddenly found it funny. She couldn't be angry with her parents because of Gu Yuchen's matter.

"Let me tell you, it was so embarrassing. I was leaning on the car window looking at the handsome guys and beautiful girls at the school gate, and suddenly he appeared and asked me why I was there. I was too embarrassed to tell the truth." I felt suffocated, as if I had been caught.
