4 Marriage

She stood up straight in a second with her hands behind her back like a primary school student who had gotten into trouble: "I didn't mean it." He Shen slowly raised his eyes, playing with a small square box in his hand. When he walked over, his eyes were fixed on her. Until he stopped in front of her, his waist slightly bent, and his tone revealed a hint of teasing: "I know." Zhu Yiyi's face was burning. She snatched it from his hand, stuffed it into the drawer, and closed it heavily with a "snap". She kicked the boxes on the ground into the corner, out of sight, out of mind. "...Why don't you throw this away?" Her voice was muffled. "I've been on a business trip this month and forgot." He Shen was a person who would forget to eat when he was busy, let alone such a small matter. Zhu Yiyi was convinced of this. She put the desktop files back to their original positions: "I've searched everywhere, but still can't find it. Maybe the USB drive is not here, I remembered it wrong." "Go look for it in the bedroom?" "No, forget it if it's lost," she really didn't want to continue looking, "I have a backup anyway." Forget it if it's lost. There is a backup. He Shen's eyes were cold, and he changed the subject: "I heard that Miss Zhu's blind date has not been going well recently." Zhu Yiyi paused on her way out, she was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to respond. Talking about blind dates with her ex-boyfriend? What's the difference between talking about backups with your current boyfriend. She chose to play dead. Zhu Yiyi didn't want to stay any longer, "I'm sorry to have delayed Mr. He today, it's getting late, I'll go back first." After saying that, she walked downstairs. Without hesitation at all. Zhu Yiyi went downstairs in slippers, stepping on the fluffy carpet, which felt like a sponge ball in a shopping mall, very relaxing. She was still a little reluctant. Each step costs 10,000 yuan. When she passed the kitchen, she glanced at it casually and paused. Compared with other places, the kitchen was obviously unchanged. After she left, He Shen would not cook by himself, and the pots and pans were restored to their original appearance. It was obvious that they had not been used for a long time. Zhu Yiyi was sure that He Shen would not eat on time after she left. He also had hypoglycemia. "Mr. He...eat on time." The temperature in the early autumn evening in Beijing was very low. The living room was warm, but the balcony was cold. He Shen was smoking on the balcony. He had his back to her, and the joints holding the cigarette were red from the cold. It was night outside, with thousands of lights, and his back was lonely, with only a spark between his fingers flickering. He was even more silent than the night. After finishing a cigarette, he flicked the ash with his fingers and put it out in the ashtray. He just didn't look back. Zhu Yiyi turned and left, walked to the entrance, stopped again, and sighed. I felt sorry for him for the last time. She told herself. "I've kept you for so long today, I'll cook you a meal," she called softly, "He Shen." The person with his back to her finally moved. He slowly turned around and took off his glasses with one hand. His cold brows were a little unruly at this time, "I thought you didn't remember my name." Without the cover of the lenses, there seemed to be something in the depths of his eyes that was about to pour out. That should be what Zhu Yiyi wanted to see most from his eyes a long time ago. But at this moment, she turned her head away. Eliminate the possibility of seeing the last glimmer of it. Zhu Yiyi walked to the refrigerator and opened the door. There was only a pack of noodles, a tomato, and an egg inside. A good cook cannot cook without rice. With these ingredients, she can't even make half a meal. Zhu Yiyi simply cooked half a pot of noodles. She served a bowl to He Shen and one to herself, and the two sat at the dining table for dinner. "It's bland," he said. "Oh, I didn't put enough salt." He Shen ate very lightly, and she made it light on purpose. "Don't you like strong flavors?" "I used to like it," she said, "but not now." He Shen closed his eyelashes and pursed his lips. Zhu Yiyi had worked all afternoon, and was really hungry now, slurping the noodles in big mouthfuls. It was rare that she didn't have pregnancy reactions at this time. During this time, Ms. Zhu sent a message to urge Zhu Yiyi to go home. She ate while replying, making up that she was working overtime. The other side sent a voice message immediately, and she accidentally slipped and clicked it. Ms. Zhu roared: "Zhu Yiyi, are you stupid? Why are you working overtime? You are pregnant now--" Zhu Yiyi suddenly cut it off. Her heart almost jumped out of her throat. She glanced at He Shen guiltily, but unexpectedly, she met the man's deep eyes. It was like a teacher in the classroom was asking questions, and she was the lucky one. Zhu Yiyi choked: "Ahem..." He Shen poured a glass of water over: "Be careful." He patted her back lightly. The moment He Shen touched her, Zhu Yiyi bounced up and retreated several meters away: "I'm fine!" He Shen's hand froze in mid-air, and it took a while to retract it. In a blink of an eye, it was eight o'clock. No wonder Ms. Zhu urged her to go home. Zhu Yiyi walked to the dining table, picked up the bowl and drank the last mouthful of soup, picked up her messenger bag, "Mr. He, I'm going back first." "I'll take you." "No need--" "It's raining outside." When I first came, the sunset was still red all over the sky. Zhu Yiyi didn't believe it, so she went to the window and saw misty raindrops flying all over the sky. It was really raining. This was the first autumn rain in Beijing. After the autumn rain, the temperature will drop for the first time, and the autumn and winter seasons will officially begin. Zhu Yiyi touched her belly calmly. "Okay." He Shen asked her to wait again, and when she changed her shoes, he took a windbreaker from the bedroom, "Wear it." "I have a coat." "It's cold outside." Zhu Yiyi didn't refuse, took it and put it on, "...Thank you." Opening the door of the apartment, the corridor outside was still full of heating as usual. Zhu Yiyi sighed again that it was good to have money. He Shen closed the door, hooked the car key in one hand, "Take the elevator directly to the parking lot." "Oh, okay." Zhu Yiyi just raised her foot, and the elevator door opposite suddenly dinged. There is one apartment per elevator here. Except for He Shen, the owner, other people who have no intersection will not stop on this floor without permission. But the elevator door opened. A beautifully dressed and elegant woman came out, holding a thermos lunch box in her left hand, and it seemed that she was here to deliver food. She saw the man at the elevator entrance and smiled: "He Shen——" The voice stopped abruptly. Because she also saw Zhu Yiyi standing next to He Shen. The smile on Lu Pei's mouth froze: "Yiyi is here too, I thought I saw it wrong." Glancing at Zhu Yiyi wearing He Shen's coat, she casually mentioned: "Didn't you say you broke up? Why are you here today?" A word awakened the dreamer. Zhu Yiyi's expression was very indifferent from the moment she saw her, and now she had no expression at all, "Come to get something, I'm going home first, I won't disturb you to eat." She no longer cared about the reactions of He Shen and Lu Pei, and walked away. "I'll take you there." He Shen followed. "No need," Zhu Yiyi said firmly, "My business has nothing to do with you, Mr. He." She pressed the first floor button and didn't look at him again before the elevator door closed. - When leaving the community, the rain became lighter. Zhu Yiyi stood at the intersection and prepared to take a taxi. A taxi happened to be parked on the street. "Miss, where are you going?" "To the south of the city, how much?" The driver quoted a very low price. Zhu Yiyi was delighted, put away her umbrella, and immediately sat in the back seat. Another saving. Zhu Yiyi began to feel sleepy after getting in the car. Strangely, the car was stable throughout the journey. The driver didn't say a word, and there was no messy music or radio. It was more than a hundred times better than the previous taxi situation, and she felt comfortable all the way home. Arriving at the old community in the south of the city, she scanned the code to pay and got off the car. When entering the community, Zhu Yiyi walked slowly and looked back inadvertently when entering the apartment building. A black car was parked at the door. It looked familiar. She subconsciously thought of He Shen's Bentley. She shook her head in a flash, self-righteous. Zhu Yiyi's figure disappeared in the corridor. The autumn rain was slow and fast, hitting the car body with crackling sounds. After a long time, the car left with flashing lights. - Zhu Yiyi took off her windbreaker, folded it, and put it in her bag. Pushing open the door, the TV at home was playing Temptation to Go Home, Pinru returned strongly and shone brightly at the dance party. Ms. Zhu sat on the sofa and clapped her hands fiercely, cheering loudly: "To torture the scumbag, to kill the mistress!" "To destroy other people's families, shameless!" "To abandon the original wife, even more shameless!" Zhu Yiyi had heard these words since she was a child, and her ears were calloused. She changed her shoes and put her bag in silence, and returned to her room with a reduced sense of presence. "Some people still know how to come back?" Ms. Zhu snorted, "Where were you?" "I said I was working overtime." "You are kidding me. Just now, the girl named Ling Mai from the neighborhood next door, who is your colleague, came to our house to deliver sugar rice cakes and asked me why I didn't see you when I got off work early today." Ms. Zhu turned off the TV and threw the remote control. "Tell me clearly, who did you secretly meet?" "A friend." "What friend?" Ms. Zhu was aggressive. She pursed her lips and said nothing. Ms. Zhu pulled her over, her voice sharp and serious: "Zhu Yiyi, listen to me, you are pregnant now, and the piece of meat in your belly can't be reduced just by saying so!" Thinking of something, her eyes were red, heartache and anger intertwined. After all, she was her only daughter, and she couldn't bear to hit or scold her. She could only persuade her earnestly: "Mom knows that because of mom and your dead father, you have suffered a lot of grievances since childhood. You don't believe in men, don't want to fall in love, and don't want to get married. Mom understands." Zhu Yiyi has been alone all these years. Because of her single-parent family, she has a typical good character and heart, and is also the one who has suffered the most grievances in the group. Later, she went to college, graduated, and went to work. People around her got married and started a family, but she was still single. When Ms. Zhu asked her, she always said "I haven't met anyone I like." She has only one daughter, so how can she not worry. Finally, Zhu Yiyi came back one day and told her that she was in love, and the other party was a very good man. Her eyes sparkled as she said, "His name is He Shen." A very nice and gentlemanly name. Once, the man drove Zhu Yiyi home from get off work. He was tall, and when he opened the car door, he bowed his head slightly and raised his hand to hold the cold door frame, fearing that Zhu Yiyi would hit her head. He had a faint smile on his face when he spoke. He had a refined temperament, calm eyebrows, and a very reliable man in his words and deeds. Ms. Zhu's heart was slightly relieved. But the good times didn't last long. Zhu Yiyi broke up with the man named He Shen. She looked pale and depressed for nearly a week. When asked about the reason occasionally, she avoided talking. She only revealed one thought - She wanted to be single forever. When Ms. Zhu was young, she was single and suffered a lot. How could she be assured that Zhu Yiyi would really be single for life, so she arranged all kinds of blind dates for her. As a result, there was trouble again. Her daughter got pregnant before marriage. "I know my daughter well. She can't have an affair," Ms. Zhu stared at her and asked slowly, "Tell me, whose child is it?" Instantly, the whole world seemed to have pressed the pause button. All was silent. ------------
