Invite me to a vacation

Li Jie called out to me before she got out of the car, she grabbed my arm and said affectionately, "Ah Ying, if you don't agree, then I'll come myself. It's been a long time since you went out for a vacation, before you went to school, you said that when you have money, you want to travel the world."

I laughed dryly and carefully grabbed her arm. As soon as she got off the car, I could see her protruding stomach. Her stomach wasn't small anymore and she had high hopes for this pregnancy. If something were to happen, she would definitely be heartbroken.

"Be careful, you still have children in your stomach." I said with slight reproach.

Li Jie laughed, then held my hand and said, "Aren't you here? You won't let me get hurt. "

I could only nod at her words. "You came to let me go to your villa for a vacation."

"Yes." Li Jie pulled me towards the elevator, "You don't know that my family is going crazy because of this child. My mother comes here every day, and she stews this and that for me every single day. My brother also found these recipes from somewhere, and made me drink a big bowl of herbal medicine every day.

"But you can't sneak out for a vacation." I told her that she was round now, with more flesh on her face, and that she didn't look as bitter as before.

She pulled me upstairs and we sat on the sofa and she said, "It's okay, I've got all the nanny bodyguards, I just want to go out with you and when this baby is born, I don't think I'll have the time to come out.

"Yes." I nodded.

After that, I went to the kitchen to cook. Li Jie would help me out from time to time, she would always talk about what happened in university, but I didn't really want to hear it.

"Li Jie is here." The moment Xie Zongming entered the door, he saw Li Jie who was standing at the kitchen entrance and talking to me. He was startled for a moment before he smiled, he looked at Li Jie's stomach and said, "Who would have thought that you would have several children right after graduating from university."

"Yeah." Li Jie didn't seem to be too happy after hearing what Xie Zongming said. The matter of giving birth to a child was enough to cause a person to die, but Xie Zongming always felt that it was a woman's duty to give birth to a child, and thought that giving birth to a child was not a big deal.

In order to avoid embarrassment, I hurriedly said, "Eat, Xie Zongming will bring the dishes in."

"Old Xie, are you free tomorrow?" Li Jie asked Xie Zongming directly from the table.

"What's wrong?" Xie Zongming picked up a bowl of food and said, "Tomorrow is Saturday, our business is usually busy during holidays."

"Then lend me your wife for a day." Li Jie placed a piece of beef into my bowl and said.

Xie Zongming glanced at me and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

"Ah Ying and I are planning to go out for a couple of days." Li Jie said, "Are you going?"

Xie Zongming thought for a while while while while holding the chopsticks, then said, "You guys can go, I might not be free."

"You should come as well. Our two families are just getting together." Li Jie was still trying to persuade Xie Zongming, but I was a little unhappy because I hadn't agreed to anything yet. However, Li Jie's current state was as though I had already agreed to it.

Xie Zongming thought for a while and said, "Then I'll finish my work during the day, go in the evening."

"Yes." Li Jie replied. Then she turned and looked at me.

I lowered my head to eat and ignored her. Now that I didn't want to argue with her, I could only sigh in my heart.

After we finished eating, Li Jie left. Before she left, she even told me that she would come pick me up at noon tomorrow so that I wouldn't need to prepare anything.

I looked at her back as she left and felt that she had changed a lot. She didn't seem like her at all. Was it because I had seen wrongly, or because she had really changed?

Xie Zongming could still remember how I kicked him off the bed. After Li Jie left, he went straight into the room, and I was too lazy to say anything to him. After cleaning everything up, I returned back to the guest room.

Sitting in the guest room, I couldn't fall asleep no matter what. I thought of Zhou Jin and Ye Qing, and wondered what they would do when they saw me together with Zhou Jin. I wondered if Zhou Jin would be able to comfort her.

At one in the morning, my phone suddenly vibrated. I immediately grabbed the phone. The person on the phone was Zhou Jin.

"Zhou Jin, what happened?" I immediately asked Zhou Jin, many possibilities flashing past my eyes, maybe Ye Qing already told me about our situation.

Zhou Jin hesitated for a moment before replying, as if he was considering whether to tell me or not, but in the end he opened his mouth and said, "Ye Qing …. "He committed suicide."

"Did you save him?" I asked anxiously, this girl, Ye Qing, was naturally gentle, she could not think of how to take revenge on Zhou Jin and I, so she could only torture herself.

"I'm back." Zhou Jin's tone was very low.

"That's good." I suddenly didn't know what to say.

This incident was a blow to both me and Zhou Jin.

"Her parents are going to send her abroad." After a long time, Zhou Jin suddenly opened her mouth and said, "They said that they will never let their daughter see me again."

"Then what about your family?" I asked him, since Ye Qing's parents knew about this, then Zhou Jin's parents should also know about it.

"I don't know." This is the first time he has shown such emotion in front of me. I think of his brother, and I don't know what he will do.

We exchanged a few more words, and I told him about my absence for the past two days, just in time to calm each other down.

Ye Qing was about to leave, this was the best opportunity for him to go back on his words.

Maybe Li Jie coming to find me for a vacation was a good thing for me.

"Xia Ying, I'm coming to fetch you." It wasn't even noon yet, but my door was already being knocked as Li Jie's voice came in.

"You came so early?" I opened the door to welcome Li Jie in.

However, Li Jie waved her hand and said, "Go get your luggage, let's go now. The driver is waiting below."

"Alright."

On the way, Li Jie told me that her husband, Zheng Xin, would probably come over at night because he still had something to do during the day.

"This time the two of us can sleep together." Li Jie took my hand and leaned her head against my shoulder. She was very relaxed as she pressed all of her weight onto me.

I looked out the window. Outside the window was a blue sea and a blue sky. Seabirds were flying by the sea.

"Ah Ying, I find that people always have their own obsession." Li Jie suddenly opened her mouth, and her voice was very soft, as though she was mumbling something.

"Hmm?" I replied in confusion.

"The shadow from when I was young will accompany me for the rest of my life. It's not good at all, you can clearly see what it looks like, I've already gotten something a hundred times better, but I just want it." Li Jie said.

I don't know what Li Jie is saying.

Persistence? I am a person who gives up easily. If I can't get something, then I don't want it. I don't want to torture myself.

"Forget it." Li Jie laughed, "The nanny has already gone over. When we get there, we can eat. My aunt's Cantonese food is the best, you must have a taste."

"Yes." I nodded. When I was young, I liked thick red sauce, but now that I'm old, I like lighter things.

Li Jie's vacation villa is by the side of the mountain and the sea, when we walked in, there were already two nannies who had arrived first. They temporarily arranged two rooms and a living room before going to prepare lunch.

The pool was already filled with clean water. Li Jie and I lied at the side of the pool and chatted.

"Have you never been to such a good villa?" I asked Li Jie.
