[Brother Jiang, are you home? I brought you some late-night snacks~]
At the same time as this message was sent, there was a knock on the door outside the villa.
Shi Xi opened the door and saw Lin Zeran standing outside, carrying a late-night snack and chatting happily.
"Brother Jiang, let's have barbecue tonight."
Shi Xi glanced at Lin Zeran, who was all smiles and seemed ready to feast, then at the bulging barbecue bag...
I was a little puzzled.
Unexpectedly, even though Xiao Wanjun was in the hospital, Lin Zeran still had the mood to go out for barbecue with him.
"Come in," he said, stepping aside to Lin Zeran.
Who cares what he's thinking? He's just hungry anyway.
The two set up the barbecue and took two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator.
While eating, Shi Xi casually chatted with Lin Zeran.
"By the way, Brother Jiang, how are things between you and Xiao Wanjun now?" Lin Zeran asked casually, while chewing on a piece of roasted meat and observing the expression on Shi Xi's face.
"We broke up," Shi Xi said expressionlessly.
Lin Zeran's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but after two seconds she suppressed the upward curve of her lips and said, "It's better that we broke up."
"Xiao Wanjun is not suitable for you, Brother Jiang."
Upon hearing this, Shi Xi looked at Lin Zeran, showing no intention of continuing the discussion. His brows furrowed deeply, while Lin Zeran simply watched him quietly.
Finally, Shi Xi took a deep breath. "You're right."
"Xiao Wanjun... he's not right for me."
After he finished speaking, he stood up to get another bottle of Coke, only to see Xiao Wanjun standing at the door at some point.
"I'm here to return something." Xiao Wanjun's expression was indifferent, and she didn't care about Lin Zeran's hostile gaze sitting to the side.
Shi Xi pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and realized that he probably hadn't said anything he shouldn't have.
Then he nodded to Xiao Wanjun.
"Since you feel it's inappropriate, President Jiang shouldn't provoke others." Xiao Wanjun's eyes turned cold as she looked at Shi Xi, "lest you harm yourself and others."
Shi Xi's face paled, and she opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
What's there to explain? His mother's life was between them, and there was no possibility between him and Xiao Wanjun no matter what.
Shi Xi couldn't help but complain to 999 in her mind.
"I feel like I'm a tragic heroine in a Qiong Yao drama right now."
999 […That's a good description, don't use that next time.]
As Xiao Wanjun looked at him, the last faint glimmer of light in her eyes vanished completely, and her heart grew heavier and more sorrowful.
So what did he come here for? He used the excuse of returning something, but wanted to see Shi Xi again, to ask him how he viewed their time together, and to test Shi Xi's attitude once more, hoping that the other party would change his mind.
But the answer was only three simple and cold words: not suitable.
Xiao Wanjun took out the brooch he had treasured for a long time, placed it on the shoe cabinet, glanced at Lin Zeran who was giving him a triumphant look, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "Here's your brooch back."
Xiao Wanjun gave Shi Xi a deep look, then turned and left without any hesitation, her back view resolute and decisive.
"Brother Jiang..." Lin Zeran frowned and softly called out to Shi Xi, who was staring blankly at Xiao Wanjun's back.
"It's okay, let's keep eating."
Shi Xi stood up, took a bottle of cola from the refrigerator, and the two chatted casually for a while.
But Lin Zeran could clearly sense that Shi Xi was distracted.
