Chapter 43: Chapter 43

Name:She Belongs To Me Author:妲婴
Huo Zhenzhen hooked up the opening cover, and didn't say what he wanted, Xiao A refilled her with tacit understanding and delivered the water cup to her hand. Huo Zhenzhen smiled and drank the water, returned the cup to Little A, and said to Jiang Ci: "Wait, my sister will take you to eat delicious food soon after finishing it."

Then put on the mask again and lowered his head to color the remaining part of the customer's calf tattoo.

It took a long time for Jiang Ci to react, "Oh", and walked vainly to the small sofa meeting the guests, groggy.

After Huo Zhenzhen was finished and washed his hands, Jiang Ci leaned against the armrest of the sofa and fell asleep under his coat.

Huo Zhenzhen went up and touched her forehead.

"What's wrong? Sister Aci is sick?" Little A leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Huo Zhenzhen tried his forehead temperature again, and said uncertainly: "I don't seem to have a fever?"

Little A: "When she first came in, I didn't think she was in good condition and her face was very bad."

Huo Zhenzhen posted it again and tried the temperature again. Jiang Ci opened his eyes in a daze, "...Zhenzhen?"

Huo Zhenzhen: "What's the matter? Where is it uncomfortable?"

Jiang Ci: "I didn't have a good rest in the evening. I adjusted two sessions in the afternoon and I was a little tired."

Huo Zhenzhen: "Then get up when you wake up, let's go out for dinner."

Jiang Ci made an "um" sound, and slowly put on his coat. Huo Zhenzhen took Jiang Ci's arm affectionately after finishing packing, and took her downstairs with her.

"Little A and us--" Jiang Ci looked back at Little A.

Little A laughed out a row of white teeth, the sun was shining: "You go, I will keep the shop."

What else did Jiang Ci say, Huo Zhenzhen took her out: "Little A, this is a visionary, don't disappoint him."

Jiang Ci: "Huh?"

Huo Zhenzhen: "You're still ‘ah’? You look like this. Since you are not sick, you have something on your mind? He didn’t go deliberately so that you can tell me what you want."

Jiang Ci also did not deny: "Oh."

Huo Zhenzhen followed her: "Oh."

The two of them didn't go far, so they went to a porridge shop not far from the studio. Huo Zhenzhen felt that the porridge was not tasteful enough, and asked the barbecue shop next door to send a lot of skewers.

She drank beer and barbecue to accompany Jiang Ci to drink porridge, Jiang Ci did not speak, she did not urge.

The neon lights were all on, there was a lot of people in the small restaurant, no one was talking at their table, and Jiang Ci's phone rang in his pocket first. She took it out and turned off the sound until the brightness of the screen went out without answering.

Huo Zhenzhen craned his neck, wondering: "Wen Nian? Why don't you pick it up?"

Jiang Ci put down the phone: "...I don't know what to say when I answered it."

"You two have a conflict?" Huo Zhenzhen took a sip of beer: "Speaking of Wen Nian, I went to the party last night to find out that it was a celebration party for her to return to singleness organized by her friend. But she didn't play. How long it’s been missing, we'd better look for it.

The spoon in Jiang Ci's hand touched the mouth of the bowl, and in a crisp voice, she raised her head and said, "She came to me last night."

Huo Zhenzhen wondered: "What are you looking for? Didn't you say no, you want to see your mother with Lu Xingxue?"

"She..." Jiang Ci pursed her lips, speaking slowly, and speaking with difficulty: "She took me to Yushui Nanyuan, and she bought the house where I lived before."

Huo Zhenzhen saw her in a trance, and the more he thought about it, the more something went wrong: "She? Buy the house you used to live in?"

Jiang Ci: "Yeah."

Huo Zhenzhen stopped eating, and said vigilantly: "What does she mean?"

Jiang Ci looked down: "Didn't you guess it."

Huo Zhenzhen inhaled a big breath of air-conditioning: "...Fuck me!"

She leaned over and lowered her voice: "Is it what I think?"

Jiang Ci focused on what Wen Nian said to her last night and told Huo Zhenzhen. Huo Zhenzhen's mouth was open all the way, and his face was "fuck".

"It's no wonder that I didn't go home today, and I came here all my heart. Wen Nian on the left hand, Lu Xingxue on the right hand,...No, before I saw you, it seemed that Wen Nian had completely let go of Wen Nian. When she turned her head, did you shake?

"I don't know." Jiang Ci said, "I'm sure I like Lu Xingxue, but to Wen Nian... I can't tell how I feel about her now. I just feel distressed. I can't breathe when I think of the past. Get angry."

Huo Zhenzhen: "After all, it is the person you have loved for so many years.... If I were you, I would bury my head in the sand and start for a month. Isn't this crazy?"

Although Huo Zhenzhen's statement is exaggerated, Jiang Ci is indeed evading reality.

The porridge in the casserole was steaming, and across that layer of heat, Jiang Ci's expression was a little fuzzy. Huo Zhenzhen swept away the leftover empty lottery, hesitated and said: "...I, let me say a few words, if it makes sense, you can listen to it. If you think it doesn't make sense, you can forget it."

Jiang Ci cheered up and looked at Huo Zhenzhen: "Well, I'm listening."

Huo Zhenzhen: "Wen Nian...Wen Nian was able to abandon you in order to seize power at a young age, which shows that she has a lot of scheming. Looking at her methods, is it terrible to think about it now? Marriage, pregnancy, miscarriage, divorce, this set After the process is over, she is already a pivotal figure in the four seasons. Now she is standing firm, but no one can say whether she will abandon you again because of something else. No one can guarantee this. Right? And the relationship will change. You are not the same you used to be, and she is not the same she used to be. If you stay together, you won't necessarily be happy. Maybe it's just obsession."

Huo Zhenzhen drank a few sips of beer to moisturize his throat, and then continued: "Lu Xingxue's side looks smooth and dangling. It is the perfect marriage partner, but you have a dead knot of warm thoughts in your heart. It’s the best. It’s hard to guarantee that it won’t magnify the friction with Lu Xingxue. It’s not impossible to become a resentment partner with Lu Xingxue after years of age. Besides, you still have an agreement on marriage, and your relationship is not on the table. In case, I am Just in case, what if she doesn't mean to you in that respect, and prepare to divorce and leave when the contract expires?"

Jiang Ci shook his head: "This is not doing multiple-choice questions. You don't need to pull them out to analyze the advantages and disadvantages one by one. Lu Xingxue's dislike of me is not a factor that affects my judgment."

Huo Zhenzhen snapped his fingers: "You are right, the key is not who likes you, but who you like - or who you like now. You have to ask yourself, who is happier with you now, and Who will give you the feeling of a stable home when you are together? Then when you decide, don't regret it!"

The phone on the desktop turned on again. Huo Zhenzhen didn't look at it this time. Jiang Ci glanced at the screen and picked it up without thinking.

"Lu Xingxue." She called the person on the other end of the phone.

Huo Zhenzhen only took a bite of the kebab, so the meat stuck in her throat, causing her to cough earth-shattering.

Jiang Ci turned sideways slightly: "I and Zhen Zhen are eating... Grandpa is here? No, no, I'm going back now."

After a few words, Jiang Ci hung up the phone, and Huo Zhenzhen wiped away the tears he coughed up: "Didn't you have made a decision? Wen Nian did not answer the call, but Lu Xingxue gave you the call and you answered quickly."

Jiang Ci explained to her: "Lu Xingxue was allergic at noon today. I was killed by me. I am worried that something will happen to her."

Huo Zhenzhen: "..."

Huo Zhenzhen sighed: "I used to be envious of the heroines of idol dramas that everyone loves. Now looking at you like this, I don't envy them anymore. The one-on-one relationship is the most complete."

Jiang Ci: "Let your one-on-one eat with you, I'll go first, Lu Xingxue's grandfather is here."

Huo Zhenzhen: "I don't need to talk about the job with Wen Nian."

Jiang Ci frowned: "Why do you think that? No need. If it's appropriate, then it will be great."

"I'm really stupid? No matter whether I have this strength or not, the prerequisite for her to give me a job is to look at your face. I don't want this to be a factor that affects your judgment, even if the influence is so lost.—— I have to be neutral!" Huo Zhenzhen squinted and waved to Jiang Ci at the end: "Let's go, let's go back and remember to take care of my girlfriends who are allergic to you."

Jiang Ci rushed home, Aunt Zhuang was busy in the kitchen, Lu Xingxue moved the chessboard to the living room and was playing chess with her grandpa.

"Aci is off work." Grandpa Lu beckoned and said lovingly: "Come and help Grandpa see, how do you move this chess?"

Jiang Ci passed over. Lu Xingxue was wearing a turtleneck sweater. Except for his face and hands, his skin was covered by clothes and his face was still red. She stared at Jiang Ci, and the self-blame and guilt in Jiang Ci's heart were surging one after another, and she subconsciously avoided her gaze.

"Grandpa." Jiang Ci sat down beside Grandpa Deer: "I don't know Go."

"Xiaobai can play chess." Grandpa Lu took off his glasses, put them on the chessboard, and said to Lu Xingxue: "That's no more. Without foreign aid, you won't give up any more."

Lu Xingxue lowered his eyes and smiled.

Grandpa Lu picked up the walking stick, and remembered something: "Eh? Xiaobai, what about you...skin care products, didn't you use it for A Ci? Don't use it anymore."

Jiang Ci didn't understand what he meant for a while, skin care products?

Lu Xingxue said, her voice still a little dumb: "She's useless. Moreover, situations like mine that are not applicable should be just an example."

Grandpa Deer disagrees: "Don't take it lightly, allergies can be big or small."

Lu Xingxue: "I know, I won't touch that brand in the future."

The stick stuck on the floor, and Grandpa Deer said, "We are all here, let's have dinner."

Jiang Ci got it. With this look on Lu Xingxue's face, it is impossible for Grandpa Lu to not ask, but Lu Xingxue concealed the truth from Grandpa.

Grandpa Lu walked slowly to the restaurant, Jiang Ci and Lu Xingxue cleaned up the chessboard together. Jiang Ci picked up the white pieces and Lu Xingxue picked up the black ones. The fingers of the two touched on the chessboard. Jiang Ci retracted his hands and Lu Xingxue lowered his head and said, "...I don't know that Grandpa will come over suddenly, he said go. Visit friends and take a look at us on the way back."

Her hoarse voice tortured Jiang Ci's nerves, Jiang Ci asked, "Why lie?"

Lu Xingxue pointed her finger to her lips, and pointed to Grandpa Lu's back, beckoning Jiang Ci to stop mentioning it, lest he hear it.

Jiang Ci turned his head, feeling sour, how could he not know why Lu Xingxue lied. Lu Xingxue picked her out cleanly without letting Grandpa know. After all, he was still thinking about her.

Grandpa is so precious to the only granddaughter. If he knows the truth, even if he doesn't express it in person, he will have some ideas in his heart.

At the table, Jiang Ci and Lu Xingxue had their own thoughts, and had no appetite for the table full of delicacies.

Grandpa Lu looked at this, then at that: "Xiaobai, the company's annual meeting is almost ready, right?"

"It's almost there." Lu Xingxue said, arranging vegetables for him.

"I didn't see A Ji last year's meeting in previous years. If you have time this year, you might as well go have fun." Grandpa Lu blocked Lu Xingxue: "You and A Ji eat more."

Lu Xingxue put the dishes back on her plate, hesitating, gave a spoonful of **** porcelain cloth.

Jiang Ci couldn't see her being so careful, so he turned around and asked her, "When is the annual meeting?"

Lu Xingxue replied lightly: "No. 20."

"Well, I'll go." Jiang Ci smiled at Grandpa Lu, and added a spoonful of food to Lu Xingxue in front of him.
