Tao Li couldn't contact Ai Xin for several days, and her phone was rarely turned off, probably because she was in a bad mood and was autistic at home.

He asked Meow Meow to run away yesterday to go to Ai Xin's house to have a look, but when she came back, she told herself that there should be no one at Ai Xin's house, and there was no response when she knocked on the door or rang the doorbell.

After finishing his work early today, Tao Li decided to go by himself. However, as soon as he opened the door, he smelled a strange smell.

"Damn, Ai Xin won't die at home, right?" Tao Li smelled the weird sour smell, and the idea came to him immediately, and he quickly snorted three times and touched the wooden table at home.

Following the smell, Tao Li touched all the way into the kitchen, and then breathed a sigh of relief. There are some crisper boxes on the cupboard, which contain all kinds of meals, which should have been delivered by Aunt Cai before. The food had been left open in the heating room for an unknown number of days, and it had already gone bad and gave off a disgusting smell of rot.

Although Aunt Cai has the password to enter Ai Xin's house, she never comes in by herself, and rings the doorbell every time. Tao Li estimated that Ai Xin should have been at home these days.

He glanced at the living room, turned and went straight into the bedroom, and when he opened the door, he saw that the quilt was neatly folded on the bed, and the room was empty. The toilet door was open, and you could see at a glance that there was no one inside.

Tao Li thought about it, Ai Xin was the most likely to be in the study. But he is still a little hesitant, no matter how close friends are, there will be their own privacy space, for Ai Xin, the study is her privacy. Even though he participated in the renovation of the study, he had entered it several times, but that was when Ai Xin accompanied him, and he had not entered the study alone.

He opened the door a little nervously, there was no headlight in the room, the candlestick on the desk was lit with candles, and the room was filled with a strong smell of lily. Tao Li breathed a sigh of relief, and Ai Xin was really in the study.

There were two layers of thick yoga mats in the study, on which Ai Xin was lying with her eyes closed, but she was not sleeping.

"What's coming?" Ai Xin's slightly hoarse voice echoed the dimly lit room, revealing a hint of mystery.

"Come and see you. Tao Li sat at the desk, looking at the thick layer of incense ash in the incense table, and next to it was an open box of incense sticks, and there were no more than a few left.

"Oh. Ai Xin answered in the dark, still lying on the ground, not wanting to get up or chatting in the slightest.

Knowing that she wanted to be alone and quiet, Tao Li was still worried and didn't dare to leave, so he sat quietly at the desk and played with his mobile phone. After about thirty minutes of playing, Ai Xin opened his mouth when Tao Li used up all the energy to kill happiness.

"I and him, it seems to be ...... Broke up. Ai Xin's voice still sounded calm, without a hint of waves, as if she was just saying "I'm eating".

"Oh. Tao Li put down his phone, even though he knew that Ai Xin couldn't see it, he still nodded, but didn't ask more. If Ai wants to say it, she will say it, if she doesn't want to say it, she can't ask no matter how she asks.

Sure enough, Ai Xin seemed to have just informed Tao Li of this, and did not have any mood to share, so he closed his mouth after speaking, and the room became quiet and mysterious again.

The incense lit on the incense stand was about to burn out, Tao Li took out a new incense stick from the box, and was about to light it, when Ai Xin suddenly opened his mouth again: "No need to light it." ”

"Oh, good. Tao Li put the incense back in the box and watched her sit up from the darkness, silent for about ten seconds.

"Tao Li. Ai Xin called out to him.

"Hmm. ”

"Have you ever hated me for a moment?"

"I want to think about it......" Tao Li quickly recalled the past and shook his head: "It seems that there really hasn't been, not even when you are annoyed, but there are times when you are not angry." ”

"I have. Ai Xin let out a delicate laugh in the dark, and her voice was still unwavering and steady: "When I first knew you liked me." ”

"Hey, I'm too annoying. Tao Li touched the back of his head: "Just like you, you have to be hated." ”

"Not really. Ai Xin shook his head, paused, and then continued: "I hate you because I like you a lot." ”

"Tell me, if you said this earlier, wouldn't we be done?" Tao Li let out a short laugh in the darkness, but he knew that it was just to hide his panic.

"Can we make it...... You know better than I do, don't you?" said Ai with a smile in his heart.

"Yes. Tao Li nodded, there were some things between them that didn't need to be said, and it was already a great happiness for him to be able to maintain his current state.

"I know you too well, you are used to weighing the pros and cons, calculating the gains and losses, including feelings. If it's too easy to chase, you're not interested, and if it's too hard to chase, you're not interested. I know very well that if one day, I am with certain interests, you will not hesitate to choose to give up on me. You can give me the most perfect love, but you can't give me the firmest choice. ”

"It's human nature. Tao Li shrugged, he had felt guilty, but that feeling never lasted. For him, only profit is eternal, and this is the only thing his father taught him.

"I know I'm not disappointed because of you. Ai Xin sighed, "I'm disappointed because I have the same thoughts as you. Although I think you are not bad, once there is a greater benefit in front of me, I will choose to give up on you. When I saw you, I remembered that I was a person as realistic as you. I'm disappointed in myself. ”

Tao Li opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say a few words to comfort Ai Xin, but found that his brain was blank and he couldn't think of anything. Ai Xin is not wrong at all, the two of them are too similar. The reason that can prompt the two of them to have been dating for so many years is that this tacit understanding never needs to be broken. Many times you don't even need to speak, and with a look, the other party can understand your feelings. Both of them are smart people, and both like to interact with smart people.

What's more, the environment in which they grew up allowed them all to have the minds of businessmen. In most cases, benefits and rewards come first to them. Under such a consensus, the two have a lot less conflicts between ordinary friends.

"Are you trying to say that you don't think about him like this?" Tao Li smiled. If he and Tong Yu have similar status in Ai Xin's heart, maybe he will still have a trace of jealousy. But this distance has been far away, and he can only envy it.

"Probably not. There was a hint of hesitation in Ai's words, and she herself was not too sure about this matter.

"Anyway, before I do a lot of things, I'm thinking about him. Consider his work, his future, his thoughts, his preferences......" Ai Xin paused, a little annoyed: "I just forgot to consider his mood." ”

"Just thinking about him, you're going to have a hard time, and so will he. ”

"Hmm. Ai Xin nodded, she had gradually understood why Tong Yu was so angry in the past few days. Although she hadn't figured out a solution yet, she knew that this matter would not come in a hurry.

"Anyway, we still have to eat first......" Tao Li looked at her, estimating that his mood had almost recovered, and quickly mentioned this matter. Looking at the pile of rotten leftovers in the kitchen, Ai Xin should have not eaten for at least two days.

"Nausea, I can't eat. Ai Xin touched his empty stomach and looked in Tao Li's direction: "What to eat?"

"Let's go, take you out. ”

Tao Li stood up, walked to the door of the study and stopped. After waiting for a few seconds, he heard footsteps behind him, and then he smiled reassuringly and walked out of the study.
