"I will definitely not disturb you. I'll sit next to you and wait. However, when you're done, we'll have supper tonight." As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Zhicheng sat down on the sofa, his eyes fixed on Qi Yun's pretty face, and said with a chuckle.
Chapter 0245 The Cat's Meow in the Middle of the Night
As night fell, there was a crescent moon in the sky. It was the end of June and the beginning of July, the season of late spring and early summer, the temperature was suitable and the air was clear. There was a round table and two bamboo chairs in the courtyard. In the middle of the round table were several small dishes and a bottle of foreign wine. Fang Zhicheng and Qi Yun sat opposite each other, smiling at each other from time to time, clinking glasses and drinking the wine. Qi Yun's face was flushed in the cold moonlight. She put down the wine glass in her hand and said with a smile: "I haven't been so relaxed for a long time. It feels like I'm back in my student days, camping with my classmates. Time flies, and I've grown old without realizing it."
Last month, Fang Zhicheng moved his family from the hotel to this three-room tiled house. After his own maintenance, the tiled house has become very human, especially the courtyard. Fang Zhicheng spent a lot of time and effort, leaving a brick and stone corridor in the middle and a large area on both sides, where many flowers and plants were planted. In the center of the courtyard, there is a ginkgo tree that has lived for decades. Fang Zhicheng put a round table under it, and occasionally he can hold an open-air tea party here in the evening, which is quite charming.
Fang Zhicheng picked up a peanut, put it in his mouth, and smiled softly: "County Magistrate Qi, don't be sad, you are not old at all. The reason why you feel old is that you don't balance your life and work well. If you have a rich life, you won't feel tired when you work."
Qi Yun smiled, stroked her forehead with her hand, and sighed softly: "My life was pretty good before, but it was because you suddenly came into my life and disrupted everything for me?"
Fang Zhicheng sighed, stared at the bright moon in the sky, and said with a wry smile: "County Magistrate Qi, I didn't provoke you. On the first day I came to Dongtai, you got into my bed. Now that I think about it carefully, I'm afraid you had planned it all along, right?"
"Nonsense!" Qi Yun blushed and said angrily, "I was sick. Does anyone use illness to seduce others?"
Fang Zhicheng tilted his head, touched his chin, and smiled, "I don't know. I'm such a smart person, if you use simple methods to lure me, how could I be fooled? You must have used illness to win my sympathy first, and then slowly hooked my appetite, and finally let me, a little white rabbit, fall into the mouth of you, a big bad wolf."
Qi Yun rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng, frowned and glared at him, and said unhappily, "You, this is called taking advantage and still acting cute. I was really blind to get on your boat."
Fang Zhicheng chuckled twice, and suddenly said seriously: "County Magistrate Qi, it would be great if we could stay like this forever."
Qi Yun was slightly startled, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she suddenly thought of her husband again. Her smile was bitter, and she sighed: "Xiao Fang, how about we make a promise?"
"What agreement?" Fang Zhicheng narrowed his eyes and asked softly.
Qi Yun's expression was somewhat solemn. Her eyes drifted to the wine glass in her hand. She looked at Fang Zhicheng with a complicated expression and asked, "If one day you get tired of me, please tell me. Then we can go our separate ways and never contact each other, okay?"
"No!" Fang Zhicheng shook his head firmly. "Why should we ruthlessly erase the marks that have been engraved in our hearts?"
Qi Yun stared at the night in a daze, pondered for a while, and said, "But there is no future between us. You have a girlfriend, and I have a husband."
Fang Zhicheng smiled, patted the table weakly with his hands, and sighed: "Okay, then, everything will be done according to your wishes."
Qi Yun smiled absentmindedly and sighed, "Why? Do you feel that talking about these things in such a romantic environment is a bit of a letdown?"
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and whispered, "Relationships shouldn't carry baggage. We are together because we are attracted to each other. If one day there is no attraction between the two sides, then we will naturally part ways amicably."
After hearing what Fang Zhicheng said, Qi Yun's face changed slightly, and she immediately raised her glass and sighed, "Cheers to a good breakup!"
Fang Zhicheng suddenly reached out and grabbed Qi Yun's hand, whispering, "It's too early to part ways amicably."
Qi Yun rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng, slapped his hand away, and said angrily, "Every time I talk to you seriously, you always ruin the mood."
Fang Zhicheng tilted his head and said innocently, "When did I ruin the mood? I just felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing. A little more physical contact would help dilute the depressing atmosphere."
Qi Yun snorted coldly, glanced at him, and whispered, "You're too good at talking. I can't argue with you." After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked gracefully out of the yard.
Fang Zhicheng was a little anxious, and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Qi, what are you doing?"
Qi Yun didn't turn around, and said calmly: "I'm going out for a walk. It's boring to sit in the yard, and I'm going to be taken advantage of by some little pervert."
Fang Zhicheng turned his wrist, glanced at his watch, and sighed, "It's already ten o'clock. It would be very dangerous to go out for a walk now!"
"Don't bother me, it has nothing to do with you!" Qi Yun walked out of the yard in a blink of an eye.
Fang Zhicheng had no choice but to chase after her. When he got out of the courtyard, he found that Qi Yun was nowhere to be found. He knew that Qi Yun was deliberately playing hide-and-seek with him, so he grinned bitterly and could only be patient and search slowly.
It was late at night and County Magistrate Qi was in a really good mood to play hide-and-seek with himself!
Although the moonlight was bright, it was late at night after all. There were only sporadic lights on the road, and it was impossible to tell whether there were people in the dark.
Fang Zhicheng walked fifty or sixty meters and found that there was still no sign of Qi Yun. He couldn't help but feel anxious. He cleared his throat and said, "I'll count to three. Come out quickly, or I'll call your name."
"one two three… "
Qi Yun still didn't show up. Fang Zhicheng sighed and was about to call Qi Yun's name when he heard a "meow" from a small alley not far away.
The sound of this meow was full of charm, hazy and sweet, causing people to tremble slightly in their hearts.
Fang Zhicheng laughed out loud and muttered in a low voice: "Whose kitten is this? It's meowing in the middle of the night, which makes me feel itchy..."
He followed the sound and walked over. Qi Yun was standing in the deep alley with a smile on her face. She sighed and said, "I was just rehearsing with you just now. If one day I suddenly leave without saying goodbye, you must never chase me out."
Fang Zhicheng did not respond. He walked to her side, reached out and touched Qi Yun's pink cheek, and whispered, "Okay, stop making trouble. Let's go home..."
Qi Yun's eyes were filled with tears, her long eyelashes trembled, and she said softly, "Please carry me back."
Fang Zhicheng nodded, bent down, and held Qi Yun in his arms. Qi Yun leaned her face against Fang Zhicheng's chest like a well-behaved cat. Fang Zhicheng joked, "County Magistrate Qi, call me again, just like before..."
Qi Yun raised her eyes and glanced at Fang Zhicheng, with countless tenderness in her eyes. She closed her eyes, nodded and sang: "Meow..."
Fang Zhicheng was struck by lightning. He quickened his pace and couldn't wait to carry Qi Yun home.
…
In a private room of a high-end club in Yunhai, more than a dozen people gathered together to play dice. The loser had to drink a penalty drink.
Lu Wanyu sat at the farthest end of the sofa, looking a bit out of place. Sitting in the middle of the crowd was a young man under 30 years old, wearing a white shirt, holding a cigarette in his hand, and occasionally clinking glasses with the people around him. He glanced at the corner and saw Lu Wanyu sitting there alone, and smiled and said, "Wanyu, why are you sitting so far away? Come over here and sit."
