Chen Songbai sat on a public bench. People coming and going were busy with their own things and no one paid attention to him. He answered Xia Xi's phone and heard her ask, "How is it?"
"I asked her, and she felt very aggrieved. It shouldn't have been her plan." Chen Songbai pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling like he was standing on the edge of a cliff, about to fall and be smashed to pieces in the next second. "Because of this, she even cut her wrists and is now in the hospital."
Xia Xi: “…”
The two chatted for a few words before the call ended. Xia Xi threw the phone on the table. She had overestimated Chen Songbai. How could he ask Miao Yijia directly? If she really did it, how could she admit it?
It is obvious that the honest man Chen Songbai is no match for Miao Yijiajia.
A slender hand appeared in his sight, holding a bowl of fruit. Xia Xi's gaze followed the hand upwards. The sleeves of his white shirt were rolled up, and the veins on his fair arm were clearly visible, which was very beautiful.
Seeing that she had no intention of taking action, Xu Yanfeng fed her a piece of watermelon.
Xia Xi ate a seed and looked down for the trash can. Xu Yanfeng reached out and took it from her mouth. She looked up at him and smiled: "What are you doing?"
Xu Yanfeng: "Spit it out."
Xia Xi hesitated for a second, then spit the watermelon seeds in her mouth with the tip of her tongue into his hand. "Where's Ziheng?"
"In his room, reading."
They had already returned from Su Jinru's place and had just finished dinner, so they were now free.
Xu Yanfeng put the fruit on the table and pulled out a chair to sit next to her: "Have you called Chen Songbai?"
Xia Xi nodded, then briefly explained the current situation to him. Miao Yijia's suicide attempt had completely controlled Chen Songbai, and he no longer dared to speak harshly to her, fearing that it would further irritate her.
"I wasn't entirely sure at first, but after all this commotion, I actually believe Chen Songbai is innocent." Xia Xi held her chin with her hand, tilted her head to look at Xu Yanfeng, her eyes rolling. "But I haven't figured out how to solve this yet. Do you have any ideas?"
Xu Yanfeng shook his head.
Xia Xi raised her hand and placed it on his head, ruffling his hair with her fingers. "You have such a good brain, and you don't know it?"
Xu Yanfeng smiled gently at her praise and analyzed rationally, "Besides Chen Songbai, Miao Yijia is the only person involved in this matter. Chen Songbai doesn't remember anything, so naturally, whatever Miao Yijia says is the truth. Chen Songbai is in a passive position." He concluded, "This is a stalemate."
"But—" He suddenly changed the subject.
Xia Xi's eyes flickered, waiting for his next words, but he seemed to be deliberately keeping her in suspense and remained silent for a long time. Xia Xi became anxious and urged him, "But what?"
Xu Yanfeng glanced at the fruit in the bowl, hinting at something. Xia Xi was speechless, then jokingly cursed him, "Your character!" and fed him a grape. Xu Yanfeng smiled and said, "To deal with this kind of deadlock, there's nothing to do. If it continues, whoever has the stronger purpose will lose their temper first."
Xia Xi pondered it and it seemed to make sense. If he ignored Miao Yijiajia and she couldn't achieve her goal, he would be anxious. When people are anxious, they are bound to reveal their flaws.
Xu Yanfeng: "Next, you just comfort Xia Xuan, and leave the rest to time."
Xia Xi nodded, looking obedient and having learned his lesson.
Xu Yanfeng changed his tone to a gentler one and said to her, "Now that we've talked about Xia Xuan, isn't it time to talk about us?"
Xia Xi thought for a moment and said blankly: "What do we have?"
Xu Yanfeng pointed out: "I saw the household registration book in your bag." He knocked on the table with his hand, "Let me make it clear, I didn't take the initiative to look through your bag, your bag was left in the car, and I wanted to confirm whether you had your phone with you. If not, I can bring it up to you, in case you don't have it when you need it."
He accidentally glanced at the maroon booklet and took it out. It was the household registration booklet. Xia Xi probably had no business needs for the household registration booklet recently, except for...
Xu Yanfeng stood up, washed his hands, wiped them clean, went back to the room, took out his family's household registration booklet and placed it on the table.
Xia Xi casually opened it, took a look, and smiled: "Why is your family's household registration book here with you?" As for her family's household registration book, she asked Su Jinru for it yesterday, stuffed it in her bag, and did not mention it to Xu Yanfeng.
"After sending you to the company this morning, I went back home and my mother gave it to me." After Xu Yanfeng finished explaining, he paused for two seconds, moved his hand over, and hooked it around her little finger. "Why don't we find a time to get the certificate?"
Xia Xi didn't answer.
During the silence, Xu Yanfeng felt a little uneasy: "You haven't made up your mind yet?"
"No." Xia Xi said, "Your parents..."
Xu Yanfeng told her: "My mother is preparing for a divorce."
Xia Xi was stunned, her expression surprised. After decades of marriage, Zhong Yinghong had made up her mind to divorce so quickly, which was quite courageous. A normal person would have to think about it for a while, maybe a few days, ten days, or even dozens of days.
"Then..." Xia Xi was so shocked that she couldn't speak, "Will your father agree?"
"He doesn't agree to a divorce," Xu Yanfeng stated calmly. "But once my mother makes a decision, there's basically no turning back. It might be difficult, but she'll succeed. Xu Guanshan still doesn't believe this matter will become irreversible."
Xia Xi pondered for a moment and expressed her concerns: "Is it appropriate for us to get the marriage certificate now? We don't have to wait for them to handle things?"
Xu Yanfeng: "It will take several months for the two of them to complete the divorce procedures. Saying a few months is an understatement. Judging from Xu Guanshan's current attitude, it could be a year or two."
Xia Xi: “…”
Xu Yanfeng looked into her eyes and relayed Zhong Yinghong's words to her: "My mother has also considered whether it is not a good idea to file for divorce at this time. She is afraid that it will affect our marriage. She is worried that you will mind."
