Chapter 6: Didn’t you pick up the ring?
"Didn't you get off work at nine o'clock at the latest before? Why are you not home until ten o'clock now?"
Wen Zhixian responded: "A friend came over and sat in the store and chatted for a while."
Gu Yuchen was now completely relieved and she had calmed down.
A smile appeared on his face. Zhixian liked him and had always liked him. He knew it.
Even if there is a conflict, it won't last too long. Besides, she knows her limits and just keeps it to herself.
He pointed to the floor where her house was, "Stop standing here and chatting. Let's go inside and sit down."
They are about to get their marriage certificate, and he expects to get it in the next few days so that they don't have to be separated from each other anymore.
Wen Zhihan looked up in the direction he pointed, looked for a few seconds, then retracted his gaze, finally landing on Gu Yuchen: "Forget it, I'm not comfortable with the opposite sex showing up in my house so late at night."
Gu Yuchen was stunned. When did he become the person of the opposite sex that made her feel uneasy in her eyes?
"We're getting married, what do you mean?"
"I told you clearly last time that I don't want to marry you. Besides, didn't you throw the ring into the trash? If that's the case, what's the point of you coming here today?" she asked.
Gu Yuchen opened his lips slightly and frowned: "You didn't pick up the ring?"
"You threw them all away, why should I pick them up?" How ridiculous.
She was a little sleepy. "If you're ok, I'll go back."
Just as she was about to leave, Gu Yuchen grabbed her wrist with a sinister look in his eyes: "It's fun to be a little bit pretentious, but it's boring if you're too pretentious."
His grip was so strong that it almost broke her bones. She struggled and said, "Let me go."
Gu Yuchen stared at her intently, without any less force in his hands.
She raised her left hand and waved it towards Gu Yuchen's face. He reacted quickly and withdrew his hand, taking a half step back. Her nails only lightly brushed his face.
Gu Yuchen's face was gloomy and frightening: "You hit me?"
She sneered: "I didn't hit you, did I? The slap you gave me last time was a real one. Do you think we can still be together after all this?"
"Why do you keep harping on this matter? Didn't you break my cup first?"
Wen Zhixian didn't know what to say. She was completely disappointed in Gu Yuchen and couldn't say anything. She felt ridiculous and sad. What kind of person was she in love with?
Finally, I just asked: "You really don't understand?"
Looking at her disappointed eyes, Gu Yuchen was panicked for a moment.
"I don't want to talk to you anymore. Go away and don't show up in front of me. If you want to miss the past, go and continue to miss your ex." She laughed, "Oh, not ex, but ex-ex. I am your ex."
After saying that, she went home and lay on the bed. The bedroom was dead silent.
For the first time, I had nothing to say to Gu Yuchen, and I didn’t even want to argue with him.
Did he not understand? Not at all. She understood him. The words he said to her were like bargaining chips on the negotiation table. He avoided the important content and magnified some unimportant things. It must be said that he was a good businessman.
He knew where he was wrong, but he just refused to admit it. He wanted to wait until she bowed her head first, and then he would bring it up. But this time he was wrong. Hitting her was her bottom line, and no matter what he did, it would be in vain.
She stood by the window and looked out at the suffocating darkness. Fortunately, the moon was high in the sky, and although it couldn't illuminate anything, she didn't seem to feel so blocked in her heart.
-
She didn't go to the cafe in the morning. She couldn't sleep last night and didn't wake up until ten o'clock. She was woken up by the phone.
She fumbled for her phone, squinted her eyes and answered the call, saying in a hoarse voice: "Hello?"
"You're not awake yet?"
Qin Zhaoli's phone number.
Wen Zhixian turned over and said, "Just woke up."
"I heard a few days ago that you would be in the cafe very early tomorrow morning. You were busy all day, so I didn't see you in the store today."
"Oh, I slept late today and didn't go." She looked at the ceiling and brushed her messy hair that covered her cheeks.
Qin Zhaoli suspected that she was in a bad mood, or maybe it was because of Gu Yuchen, that bastard. He couldn't say it directly, so he could only ask secretly: "Do you want me to cook for you at noon?"
"No."
Qin Zhaoli said again: "Then come out, we'll have lunch together at noon. Song Kairui has just invested in a restaurant, let's go and get his money for free."
We can't just leave her alone and get bored.
Wen Zhixian said, "Okay, I'll get up right away."
After hanging up the phone, he washed up, changed his clothes, took the car keys and rushed to the address Qin Zhaoli gave him.
When she arrived, Qin Zhaoli and Song Kairui were waiting for her at the door, so she greeted them.
"Why did you wake up at ten o'clock? Didn't you sleep well at night?" Qin Zhaoli looked at her and asked.
She sighed: "I couldn't sleep last night."
After entering the private room and sitting down, Song Kairui looked her up and down and asked, "Did Yuchen come to see you last night?"
Wen Zhihan nodded and rubbed his temples. "I get a headache when I see him now. I don't want to say a word to him. He doesn't understand what I say. Actually, I know he can understand but he just pretends not to understand."
Song Kairui sighed: "I'm waiting for you to continue loving him."
Qin Zhaoli frowned: "Don't bother with him."
After that, she carefully looked at Wen Zhixian's face. Seeing this, Song Kairui also came over and said, "It seems that everything is fine."
Wen Zhixian touched his face and said, "It's not swollen anymore, but..."
She moved her hand to her ear and said, "It still tinnitus occasionally. The doctor said I need to take medicine and it will be better after a while."
Hearing her say this, the two of them were stunned for a moment, "Are you okay?"
"Nothing, much better than before."
Qin Zhaoli said, "Fuck!" and said, "I'll help you slap him."
"I wanted to slap him last night but failed. I'll try again next time," she joked.
Song Kairui smiled helplessly, "Then try your best and strive for success."
"Then you went to see a doctor. Does your mother know?" he asked.
Wen Zhixian's mother is the head of the department of the No. 1 Hospital in the city. If she goes to this hospital, she must not let her mother know.
She shook her head and said, "I didn't go to my mom's hospital. I didn't want them to know."
They were all childhood friends. Song Kairui, Gu Yuchen and Qin Zhaoli were two years older than her, but their families had always been good friends and would often make plans to dine and travel together whenever they were free. She didn't want to ruin the relationship between her parents because of her relationship with Gu Yuchen, and Gu's parents had always liked her.
Qin Zhaoli remembered that their parents were going to have a dinner party tonight. No wonder Uncle Wen and Aunt Shen were there too. It turned out that Zhixian didn't tell them about this.
"What if your parents ask about you and Gu Yuchen?" Song Kairui asked.
Wen Zhixian was hungry, so he started eating right away. When he heard what Song Kairui said, he put down his chopsticks and thought for a while, "I'll tell you when you ask."
