She tiptoed to grab the man's shirt at the chest, intending to pull him aside by the neck so she could talk to him alone.
Her posture had to be domineering, making Shen Shixun bend over and follow her. Unexpectedly, as soon as she tiptoed and grabbed the man's collar, he immediately grabbed her hand and took it off his collar.
"Say it here."
He's still busy.
"Why didn't you tell me you resigned? Are you not going to take responsibility? Are you trying to leave the ancient city and run away when I'm not looking? You don't want to take responsibility for me or the child in my belly, and you don't want to keep your previous promises. Do you think I can't do anything to you if you run away and don't sign the divorce agreement?"
Shen Shixun was stunned and stood there dumbfounded. "Xiang Nanzhi, are you sick in the head?"
"Then why didn't you tell me you resigned?"
Did you ask?
"Should I ask about something this important?"
They don't live together and weren't very familiar with each other before, so why should he tell her? Besides, it's only been a few days, and he hasn't had a chance to tell her yet.
Should I just make a random phone call and tell her that I've quit my job and moved?
Those who knew him thought he was being sincere, while those who didn't thought he was saying these things to ask her for help.
"Xiang Nan knows you shouldn't be unreasonable."
"You didn't tell me anything, and you're saying I'm being unreasonable?"
Shen Shixun didn't look at her, but lowered his head to take pictures and look at the scratches on the car. Xiang Nanzhi tried to grab his phone, "What's wrong, Shen Shixun? You've climbed up the social ladder now, you have a car to drive."
“Xiang Nanzhi”.
He looked down at her and tossed her his phone. "The car is rented."
"If you're going to pick up girls, renting a car to save face is getting more and more vulgar."
Shen Shixun was completely unwilling to speak. He was indeed too lazy to explain to her, and he shouldn't have tried to reason with a woman.
He took the car keys, moved the two cars apart, and drove away right under her nose without even glancing at her.
Xiang Nanzhi's car was also scratched quite a bit, but she didn't care at all. She got in the car and chased after him. When she saw him heading towards the city, her heart pounded.
A short while later, they arrived at the entrance of a residential area, and a woman got into the car with her child.
Xiang Nanzhi was furious. She called him, but the man didn't answer and drove to another place.
The woman and child got out of the car, picked up their bags, and left. Xiang Nanzhi, unable to bear it any longer, stopped the car at the intersection and went straight to them, shouting, "Stop! Don't leave! What's your relationship with me?"
She is somewhat paranoid, and she is also somewhat paranoid towards her family.
Xiang Nanzhi tried to stop the woman who got out of Shen Shixun's car, but the man grabbed her and laughed angrily, "Xiang Nanzhi, when are you going to stop going crazy?"
It can be very docile when it's docile, but when it goes crazy, it's like a rabbit on stimulants.
"What is your relationship with her? Who is that woman? What is your relationship with that child? You don't have any relatives or friends in the ancient city. Don't lie to me."
She was so serious and determined, it was as if the matter wouldn't be over until she got to the bottom of it.
"Ride-hailing services".
Xiang Nanzhi frowned, "You..."
If she had looked a little closer, she would have noticed the ride-hailing sticker on the side of Shen Shixun's car, but she was too busy being angry and following him the whole way, and she lost all reason when she saw a woman get into his car.
"Are you calm now?"
Shen Shixun let go of her hand and got into the car, leaving her alone, bewildered in the wind.
"Whose car is this? It's blocking the way."
"Just because you have money doesn't mean you can park anywhere you want."
"Beep beep beep!"
With horns blaring incessantly, Xiang Nanzhi, standing at an intersection, quickly returned to his car.
What kind of ridiculous situation is she making?
Xiang Nanzhi has embarrassed himself in public more than once or twice recently.
After calming down, Shen Shixun found a roadside barbecue stall and sat down. The man sat in the chair, and Xiang Nanzhi sat opposite him. Because he felt guilty, he didn't say much.
She didn't know he had suddenly changed jobs, nor did she know that this man was so good at making good use of his time. He was exhausted from working on the construction site, yet he still drove a ride-hailing car. He was practically courting death.
She sleeps until she naturally wakes up every day, and occasionally draws one or two design drafts. Even when she gets tired, she perseveres for a little while and feels that she is working very hard.
I've gotten so used to being lazy that I get the illusion that I'm working incredibly hard whenever I try to be a little more diligent.
The man tossed the menu to her, saying, "Take a look and see what you want to eat."
"How can a pregnant woman eat from this kind of roadside stall?"
Xiang Nanzhi had never eaten in a place like this before. It was right next to a main road, with cars passing by and kicking up clouds of dust.
She could let go of that small restaurant from before, at least it was indoors. She never quite understood why anyone would come to eat in places like this.
Shen Shixun put the menu down and said, "What do you want to eat? When I asked you, you said anything was fine."
“I said whatever, but I didn’t really mean whatever. You don’t even know what pregnant women should eat or what they should be careful about. Last time you rubbed safflower oil on me, and this time you brought me to a place like this to eat. I have serious doubts about your intentions.”
"Xiang Nanzhi..."
"Forget it, I'm too magnanimous to hold a grudge against you."
Shen Shixun was amused by her and stood up from his chair. "Let's go then."
Where to?
The man took her to a nearby Chinese restaurant, where they ordered chicken soup and a few other home-style dishes.
For Shen Shixun, the food was quite good, but Xiang Nanzhi found it rather bland.
She didn't offer any opinion, but looked at the man opposite her and said, "Next time you change jobs, you have to tell me, and you have to tell me when you change where you live."
"good."
He kept looking at his phone while eating. "Go home first, I have something to do."
"It's so late..."
"I still have orders to fulfill, and I'll be there soon."
After he finished speaking, he ate for a few more minutes, then put down his chopsticks. There was still more than half of the food left. Xiang Nanzhi was stunned for a moment. "Are you that busy? Shen Shixun, have you run into some trouble?"
He didn't answer her question. "You can drive back by yourself later."
Xiang Nanzhi's belly wasn't showing yet, but the baby would be born smoothly in a few months. He would take on the responsibility of being a father and work two jobs to earn money for the baby's milk powder.
"Shen Shixun, I haven't been to your place yet!"
Xiang Nanzhi also walked out of the restaurant, saying, "You just left like that? I haven't even gone to see where you're staying yet."
"No need to look anymore, that place is more dilapidated than the previous one."
"I want to see it! Give me the key!"
Xiang Nanzhi bit his lip. What did it mean to be even more dilapidated than before? In this ancient city, was there any place more dilapidated than where he had lived before?
Shen Shixun didn't want to argue with her anymore. If he didn't give it to her, she would definitely think that someone was hiding in the house. "I only have this one key, don't lose it."
——
Xiang Nanzhi drove to another suburb, a small town, and asked for directions all the way before finally finding Shen Shixun's place. It was an old building that had been built long ago and was specifically rented to migrant workers from other places.
