He actually brought a woman home

"Isn't it good enough that I've told her so much?" I asked.

Xie Zongming no longer said anything. Maybe he felt that I was unreasonable.

I returned home to sleep, while Xie Zongming drove to work.

I thought it would take a long time to send Li Jie back, but I didn't think that she would return so quickly.

I stood on the balcony and lit a cigarette. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to find Zhou Jin and let him hug me tightly.

I changed into a dress covered with a great deal of brandy and tried to cover the wrinkles that did not exist at the corners of my eyes with light makeup.

I'm exactly eleven years behind him.

With such a gap, many people would think that I had overtaken him. Luckily, what I wanted was only a moment of happiness.

"Zhou Jin, where are you?" I sat on a bench by the sea and waited for him.

"Wait for me." His voice was light but firm.

It was noon, and the sun was shining down on me. The fat cat beside me was already lying on my lap, not holding back at all.

"Hey, come home with me." I pinch his pink paws.

It was a look of disdain that answered me.

"Alright, I understand."

After a long time, I squinted as I calculated the time, trying to figure out when Zhou Jin would arrive.

Strangely, it never occurred to me that he wouldn't come.

He won't miss his appointment. Come on.

"Xia Ying." A soft call woke me from my stupor.

I looked over my shoulder. Zhou Jin was walking toward me, wearing a blue striped shirt. His hair was blowing in the wind, and he was shining in the sun.

"Let's go." He came up to me and held out his hand, as he had so many times before, and he gave me a little haven in this dirty vortex of my family.

"I …" I looked around, feeling more and more people around me, and hesitated, wondering if I should hold hands here.

"Let's go." he added, his eyes clouded and his tone forlorn.

I was silent, and the two of us seemed to be at the North Pole on a sunny afternoon.

But the next second, I don't have to be so conflicted.

Because Zhou Jin took my hand, his grip was very tight.

I looked at him, touched at the moment.

He took me slowly along the boardwalk by the sea, the wind blowing our clothes, the seabirds circling in the sky, as if we were a couple in love.

But only we knew that I was a housewife for five years, and he was my secret lover.

The relationship between us was only physical comfort, and the thought of it made my heart ache.

"Where is your home?" "I promised to take me to your house."

"It's not far from here." Zhou Jin replied.

"Is that so?" I thought about it and asked, "Why did you take so long to get here?" I thought you weren't coming? " The second sentence is a lie. I added in my mind.

"There's something." Zhou Jin replied with an unnatural expression on his face.

"What is it?" I know I shouldn't have asked.

Zhou Jin put his arm around my shoulder and didn't answer.

Zhou Jin's house was located in a villa not far from the sea.

"Is this your home?" I stood in the doorway in disbelief.

"This was temporarily lent to me by my brother." Zhou Jin said he was not happy to talk about his brother.

I remembered the night I was kidnapped by Teng Wan, the man who talked to Zhou Jin. He had a completely different temperament from Zhou Jin, but he was also very handsome.

"Come in." Zhou Jin opened the door.

There was a large flower growing in the small garden. The flowers were growing together in a messy pattern, but they gave off a strange sense of beauty.

As soon as I closed the door, Zhou Jin took my hand once more.

He led me up the three steps to the villa, which was small but delicate.

I looked at the huge French windows and the white curtains dancing in the wind. It felt like a dream.

Although I already knew that Zhou Jin's home was definitely extraordinary, I was still very surprised to see this scene.

Zhou Jin looked at me and smiled.

He opened the door and invited me in. Surprised that I had retreated, I carefully observed the house.

In fact, the house only looked nice on the outside. There were almost no decorations on the inside, only a painting of the walls, a light colored floor, and white curtains hanging from the windows.

I saw easels in the room with the french windows, papers and paints scattered on the floor, and to my surprise I found a grand piano covered in white cloth in another room.

"You can play the piano?" I asked, putting my hand on the piano.

Zhou Jin shook his head. "I don't know how. It's my brother."

"Does this person live here?" I led him out of the room where the piano was kept. Before I left, I looked back at the piano. For some reason, I always felt that the piano was a little lonely in the snow-white room.

"Yes." Zhou Jin nodded, "I don't come here often."

I had a lot of questions to ask, but I didn't want to waste my rare good time on cross-examination.

We sat on the floor, me leaning against his shoulder. It was not cold in the summer, and the two of us could see through the French windows to the sea. The atmosphere was very quiet.

The sky gradually darkened and the dark room became dark. Finally, it was time to leave. Time was always ruthless.

I lay on his lap and looked up at him. "Zhou Jin, I'm leaving."

His whole face was in darkness, and he was looking down at me, his eyes affectionate and gentle, as clear as ever.

I motioned for him to lower his head, and for a moment he lowered it.

I reached for his hair and kissed him on the lips.

"I miss you." I kissed him.

Zhou Jin looked at me, then used both hands to help me up. I lay in his arms, unbuttoning his shirt one by one.

His hand slipped into my skirt, his kiss fell on my collarbone, and I saw his eyes glisten.

What a young body. I sighed in my heart.

I lay on the floor, my arms wrapped around Zhou Jin's back, the drawing paper spread out beside me.

I liked him a lot, liked his body, especially the way his lips trembled when he kissed me, the feel of his cool fingers on my skin.

"I really have to go back." I got up from the floor.

Zhou Jin lay on the ground and grabbed my ankle.

I turned to look at him. His eyes were a little hurt, but he didn't say anything.

I smiled and leaned down to kiss his lips, but he took my waist and tried to do it again.

"Hello." Smiling, I tried to push him away, but I couldn't get a grip on my hands.

I am willing to give this obedient pet a little reward.

His kiss landed on my skin, hot and careful, completely different from Xie Zongming's.

Sweat trickled down my face. His eyes were closed, his cheeks were slightly flushed, and his breathing was heavy.

I didn't really know what sex was until I met him.

Before I married Xie Zongming, I was still a virgin. Before I met Zhou Jin, I only had Xie Zongming.

I remember the tearing pain of his lower body on the first night, caused by his violent entrance.

In fact, in the years I had been married to him, I had barely enjoyed bed service.

He had always believed that women should be pure. Even in bed, it was best to shyly hide instead of enjoying it.

I hadn't realized it before, but the farther I stood, the more I could see him.

So it turns out that the person I thought I loved deeply, the person I thought I would grow old with, was actually so selfish.

I was thinking about this when my cell phone rang. I was walking home.

The phone was showing an unfamiliar number. I picked up the call out of curiosity.

"Hello." I said.

The person on the other end of the phone spoke after a while: "Hello, I'm Ye Qing."

Ye Qing? She was the girl who had once pretended to be Zhou Jin's girlfriend, the simple looking female doctor. Such a woman was really suitable for marriage.

I know Ye Qing likes Zhou Jin, but Zhou Jin feels pity for her.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" I asked curiously.

"I know about your relationship with Zhou Jin." Ye Qing's voice was cold, as if I snatched away something that should have belonged to her.

I smiled to myself and said in a doubtful tone, "Miss Ye, are you sure you're mistaken?"

"I saw you sleeping with him." Ye Qing blurted out, her voice sounding a little anxious.

"So?" I asked, but in my mind I was thinking about what I should do if she wanted to destroy my relationship with Zhou Jin, how I could get Zhou Jin to stand on my side, etc.

"I want to talk to you." Ye Qing's voice was full of disdain, "You're already married, how can you do such a thing?" She didn't seem to understand why I was looking for a lover when I was married.

"Miss Ye..." I looked into the distance, at the dark blue sky, and said faintly, "People can't empathize with each other."

"Stop delaying Zhou Jin, he's so much younger than you." Ye Qing seemed to be angry, she spoke a bunch of words consecutively, but then regretfully said: "Forget it, let's talk about it when we meet."

"Alright." Coincidentally, I also wanted to get to know Zhou Jin and Ye Qing more.

Hearing my answer, Ye Qing seemed to be stunned, she waited for a while before saying, "You're afraid that I would tell your husband about your relationship with Zhou Jin?"

I laughed silently on the other end of the phone. "Miss Ye, I'm very scared."

The call ended.

I guess Ye Qing will not tell Xie Zongming about my relationship with Zhou Jin for now.

I was in a bad mood because of her phone call.

Because I'm older, my time with Zhou Jin can be considered as delaying him?

Because I'm married, so I have to stay home after my husband has found countless lovers?

I thought about Zhou Jin's face, I did not care too much about what Ye Qing thought, the most important thing was Zhou Jin.

But... I was afraid of losing him.

He was so young and so gentle, and I suppose he had a good family, but I was content to have a moment of joy and comfort.

I took a deep breath, trying to dispel the irritation in my brain.

I stood in front of the door and fished in my handbag for my key to open it.

As soon as I entered, I saw two pairs of shoes by the door. One was Xie Zongming's, the other was a woman's shoes, and they weren't mine.

I sneered in my heart, this Xie Zongming is getting more and more promising, and now he is taking advantage of me not being at home to bring the woman back to the house.

I began to wonder if I was being too kind.

I took my handbag and gently took off my shoes and went in.

I saw the TV in the living room on, the boring game on, a bottle of beer on the coffee table.

There were three dishes and a soup on the table. The dishes were already cold.

I walked slowly to the master bedroom. The master bedroom door was tightly shut, and I could faintly hear voices coming from inside.

I took out the master bedroom key from the drawer and held it in my hand. I swore in my heart that if Xie Zongming dared to mess with some wild girl in my bed, I would make him regret it for his entire life.

At this moment, my already bad mood worsened.

I put the key in the lock and twisted the handle.

The door opened.
