The long night accompanied by lightning and thunder is gradually coming to an end. In the early morning after the rain, the sun shines on the earth, bringing a different kind of freshness and warmth.
Wang Weixi made breakfast early. He didn't have time to tell Chen Kexin last night about his week-long business trip. Chen Kexin was hungry early this morning, so he carefully prepared breakfast and planned to talk about this matter with Chen Kexin while having breakfast.
Chen Kexin seemed to be in a good mood. She wore pajamas and tied her hair into a ponytail. She brushed her teeth and washed her face before going to the kitchen. She had a special youthful aura without makeup, and looked even more pure and lovely.
The two of them were eating breakfast happily. This kind of warmth seemed to be the same as when they had just gotten married and they stayed at home every day.
"Wife, the company has given me a task. Asking me and the representative of Jinxiu Company's partner to go to Hainan Island to check out the project. I will be away for a week. Please take good care of yourself during this period." Wang Weixi said gently while picking up some food for Chen Kexin.
Chen Kexin frowned after hearing this: "A week? That's such a long time..." She suddenly lost her appetite for breakfast.
Wang Weixi shrugged helplessly and explained, "I will be on business trips a lot in the future. I am also working to make money so that I can give you the life you want. Honey, I'm sorry, being with you every moment is really a luxury."
Chen Kexin shook her head and said, "It's okay. You work so hard for this family, but I just play at home every day. How can I blame you? Just take good care of yourself outside."
Wang Weixi nodded. It was said to be next week, but it was actually tomorrow. Time was tight, so the company allowed Wang Weixi to come to work later. However, Wang Weixi was very clear about this so-called permission, because his superiors must have heard about him and Tong Siqi drinking until late last night.
So he packed his things for the business trip and took Chen Kexin to the supermarket, buying a lot of snacks in large and small bags. Only then did Wang Weixi finally feel at ease to go back to work.
Before leaving, he took Chen Kexin to the refrigerator and patiently told her that there were all kinds of ingredients in the refrigerator. If she wanted, she could cook it herself. If not, she could go out to eat with her sister-in-law. He also carefully took note of the phone number for water delivery and asked Chen Kexin to put them away one by one.
Chen Kexin listened obediently, with a look of displeasure on her face, and she even joked that Wang Weixi was like an old maid in the ancient imperial palace. Wang Weixi then joked, asking if she was the innocent young lady back then, which made Chen Kexin laugh.
Watching Wang Weixi leave, Chen Kexin sat on the sofa, and loneliness came over her again.
Today is Sunday, and even Chen Keren has to work overtime. Chen Kexin sighed helplessly. How can she let Chen Keren and Yi Duanfang skip work for her? She has watched almost all the anime and heavy-tasting movies. Sigh... She is so depressed.
So she walked around the room again and again, then came to the bedroom, lay down on the bed and started to catch up on her sleep.
Wang Weixi came all the way to the company, but as soon as he entered the company, he saw countless strange glasses staring at him. Wang Weixi just smiled politely at everyone, and then went into his office. At the door of the office, Lan Ling said sourly: "Mr. Wang, you are here, Miss Tong Siqi is already waiting for you in the office."
Wang Weixi was about to say thank you with a smile, but Lan Ling turned around and left coldly.
... ...
Wang Weixi smiled helplessly and hesitated before opening the door. What happened last night was still fresh in his mind.
Now in his mind, he shook his head helplessly, what was coming would come. Thinking of this, he opened the door and walked in.
Tong Siqi, wearing formal clothes, sat on the sofa. She looked completely different from last night, a little more indifferent and a little more rigid.
Wang Weixi walked over, looked at the tea in front of her, and said softly: "Siqi, the tea is cold, right? I'll make you a new cup." Then he picked up the cup of tea, quietly walked aside, changed the tea leaves, and then slowly made the tea and handed it to Tong Siqi: "You can drink it now."
Tong Siqi seemed to be lost in thought. When she heard Wang Weixi's words, she looked up at Wang Weixi as if she remembered something. At this moment, his face was full of a warm smile, no different from usual. Tong Siqi suddenly felt that he was annoying. She had done this yesterday, why did he still put on a nonchalant smile to perfunctorily deal with her today
"You're here. I have something to tell you. Please sit down." Tong Siqi said calmly with no expression on her face.
Wang Weixi sat down and looked at Tong Siqi with some concern, "Didn't you sleep well last night? Why do you look so bad?"
Tong Siqi's face is now yellow, and there are heavy dark circles under her eyes, making her look very haggard.
Seeing Wang Weixi asking this, Tong Siqi suddenly asked with some amusement: "Don't you know the reason?"
Wang Weixi frowned, then shook his head and said, "I always suffer from insomnia. I really don't understand girls' minds. But if I ask Duan Fang, he will definitely know." After saying that, he smiled in a rather artificial way.
This cold joke didn't seem to work at all today. Tong Siqi didn't laugh from beginning to end. She just looked at Wang Weixi in front of her with eyes that others couldn't figure out, until he felt that his whole body was firmly locked by someone, and then she stopped.
Wang Weixi laughed for a long time, and finally felt bored with the role he played. He lowered his head helplessly. It was impossible to say that he didn't know, but was it okay to say this now
"I know, I just don't understand why you did this." Some things, since they have come to the surface, we have no reason to hide anymore. Wang Weixi knew that Tong Siqi wanted to have a good talk with him, instead of pretending that nothing had happened like last time.
Wang Weixi put away his smile and a hint of caution appeared on his face. He looked at Tong Siqi, but didn't know what she was thinking.
After a while, Tong Siqi just snorted coldly and asked, "Wang Weixi, do you want to know the reason?"
Wang Weixi didn't say anything. As a married man, he shouldn't take any reason as a bargaining chip to make mistakes. He didn't want to let Kexin down, even in his heart.
Tong Siqi looked at Wang Weixi's calm demeanor and felt a chill in her heart, but on the surface she remained arrogant and indifferent. "Why would a woman take the initiative to kiss a man on the mouth and take off his clothes after getting drunk? Either she has been lonely for a long time, or she wants to seduce a man, or she really wants to get him. Wang Weixi, which one do you think I am?"
Wang Weixi didn't know how to answer, and he really didn't know whether Tong Siqi loved him or hated him. A woman's hatred would make her lose all her rationality, so Wang Weixi firmly believed that Tong Siqi might want to do this desperately because she hated him, but he didn't accept this idea in his heart, so he has been conflicted recently and didn't know what to do.
"I don't know," he answered honestly.
Tong Siqi's eyes
There was a flash of disappointment in his eyes: "Because I want you."
Wang Weixi thought there was something wrong with his ears. Tong Siqi, who was so reserved, actually said such ridiculous words when she was sober.
Because I want you.
Such a simple reason is too straightforward to accept.
Wang Weixi frowned and asked, "So, why do you want me?"
"Why? Wang Weixi, are you playing dumb? Of course it's because I still like you."
Wang Weixi's face was gloomy and ugly. After a few seconds, he shook his head and said, "Don't say anything more, Siqi. You should know that what you said is meaningless. I am married now, and you are also working hard for your career. One day you will find someone who treats you well."
He took it seriously. Even though he knew that what Tong Siqi said at this moment was probably a lie, he still chose to believe it. Because Tong Siqi's eyes told him that she was not lying at all.
At this moment, his heart was in turmoil, but Wang Weixi appeared calm on the surface and analyzed the problem rigidly.
Tong Siqi frowned, then suddenly laughed and said jokingly, "Do you mean to say that I am seducing a married man now?"
Wang Weixi wanted to reply with a “Isn’t it?”, but after thinking about it, he replied calmly: “No, I just want to remind you that some jokes are better not to be made.”
"What if I say I'm not joking?" Tong Siqi didn't seem to give up. It seemed that this argument could make Wang Weixi sober and let him know that she was not lying to him, but was telling a fact.
Many years ago, she dumped him, but she was not necessarily less hurt than him. After being bruised and battered, she endured the pain in her heart and broke up with him. At that time, watching him leave, her heart was as painful as a knife. But she didn't know at that time that after so many years, she was still so unwilling to let go, unwilling to imagine him and another woman's happy scene.
At that time, I had mixed feelings of love and hate towards him, but in the end, I could only use hatred to express my feelings.
Wang Weixi stood up and said coldly: "You are still drunk. There is nothing to do today, so you should go back and rest." If there was still a trace of panic and throbbing in his heart before returning home last night, what happened after returning home made him realize that he was not qualified to have an ambiguous relationship with anyone. Even if that person wanted to, he would never be the male lead of this play.
In his world, just one Chen Kexin is enough.
"You are so heartless and ungrateful." Tong Siqi said with a bitter smile, "You never asked me why I broke up with you so decisively back then. You also never asked me why Jinxiu sent me as a representative by such a coincidence."
Wang Weixi shook his head and said calmly, "Because I don't think it's necessary to ask."
"Oh? Is there no need? Then, what did you use to comfort yourself? Did you say that I was drunk or something?" Tong Siqi stood up, stood there, and looked at Wang Weixi coldly.
The past
Before I met you, I wanted to know why you had the heart to hurt me. But when I saw you, I was no longer influenced by this curiosity. The past is the past, which can never be retrieved or compensated. It is a meaningless past.
Human hearts have always been so contradictory.
