At night, Ji Xiuyu supported his body and returned home. I changed my shoes at the entrance, looked at the darkness in the room, and turned on the lights. Seeing that the room was empty, it looked deserted.

Since Xia Xizhi moved in, as long as she was at home, she would turn on the lights. No matter how late he came back, the lights were always on. With a bitter smile, Ji Xiuyu took a step forward and walked upstairs.

Back in the bedroom, standing at the door, Ji Xiuyu was stunned for a moment. Habit is a terrible thing, when a person lives in their sight, once they lose it, it will be difficult to accept.

After taking a change of clothes, Ji Xiuyu walked to the bathroom with heavy steps to take a bath. Turn on the faucet and let the water run down his hair. In front of him, the conversation between him and Xia Xizhi when they met today couldn't help but appear.

These days, he knows very well that he has no love for Fan Ranxi. But because of her sacrifice to save her life and her relief from the past, he treated her as an ordinary friend. So there are things he can't turn a blind eye to. But I didn't expect that because of this, Xia Xizhi misunderstood.

With his hands in his hair, Ji Xiuyu closed his eyes and said hoarsely: "This matter, what should be done to solve it?" At this moment, his mind was messy.

After taking a bath, Ji Xiuyu returned to the room in a bathrobe. Lying in the position where Xia Xizhi is used to sleeping, he rested his head on her pillow. The fragrance that belonged to her slowly spread into his nasal cavity. The smell made him miss it.

Gently stroking the pillow with his hand, Ji Xiuyu said heavily: "Stupid woman, why do you doubt my heart for you? I either don't love or love deeply, how can I be half-hearted." ”

He is a self-disciplined man who doesn't like to be left and right. He understands better that between husband and wife, the most important thing is to exchange sincerity for sincerity. The head was buried deeper in the pillow, longing for more of her taste.

The smell gradually dissipated, and Ji Xiuyu could not sleep. Stand up, turn and leave the bedroom. Come to the study, sit at your desk, and get to work. Whenever he is upset, he likes to deal with it in this way.

Concentrate on work, but Xia Xizhi's figure will still appear in front of him. After struggling for a long time, Ji Xiuyu finally couldn't help it and dialed her number. The phone rang for a long time, but it was never answered.

Seeing this, Ji Xiuyu's eyebrows frowned: "Are you asleep?"

Waited for a while, until the cold voice of manual service came from the phone, and Ji Xiuyu put down his phone. Lean back in your seat, propping your head with one hand and your eyes fixed on the front.

The mobile phone rang suddenly, and Ji Xiuyu quickly pressed it to connect: "Hey." ”

On the phone, Xia Xizhi's calm voice came: "Is there something?"

The simple but unfamiliar three words, like a basin of cold water, poured on his body. Seeing this, Ji Xiuyu paused for two seconds before he spoke, saying, "It's a pity, have you slept?"

With a faint hum, Xia Xizhi replied indifferently: "Fall asleep." ”

Hearing this, Ji Xiuyu's heart was a little uncomfortable. He was thinking about her, thinking too much to concentrate on her work, and she was able to sleep peacefully. "It's a pity, let's sit down calmly and have a good talk, okay? Fan Ranxi and I are absolutely innocent. ”

There was silence on the phone for half a minute, and Xia Xizhi said hoarsely: "Xiuyu, I still say that, believe what I see with my eyes." It's not early, I'll go to bed first, and you can rest early. After speaking, Xia Xizhi directly ended the call.

Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, Ji Xiuyu kept calling, but there was no response. Seeing this, Ji Xiuyu leaned there helplessly.

Before I knew it, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Ji Xiuyu got up and went back to the house, and when he was about to go to bed, the doorbell rang downstairs. Seeing this, Ji Xiuyu hurriedly turned around: "Could it be that he came back?" Without having time to think about it, Ji Xiuyu opened his legs and quickly ran downstairs.

Quickly went to open the door, and when he opened the door, Ji Xiuyu blurted out and shouted, "It's a pity!" When he saw that it was Fan Ranxi standing outside the door, a smile instantly condensed on his cheeks.

Outside the door, Fan Ranxi put his hands in front of him, as if he didn't notice his title, and said with a smile: "Xiuyu, I know that you haven't slept yet." ”

Looking at her, Ji Xiuyu's eyes were cold: "What's the matter?"

Raising the shopping bag in his hand, Fan Ranxi replied with a smile: "Passing by a snack bar, I remember that when I was a child, you liked to eat steamed dumplings from that house the most, so I brought some over for you to see." It's still hot, so eat it while it's hot. ”

With one hand in his trouser pocket, Ji Xiuyu said coldly: "No need, I don't like it anymore." ”

Listening to his words, Fan Ranxi was stunned for a few seconds: "In this way, I thought that you still retained the preferences you had when you were a child." Actually, I want to talk to you about grandpa today. ”

Hearing this, Ji Xiuyu frowned: "Yes, grandpa's business." Can you invite me into the house to talk? It's a bit cold this night, after all. ”

Still had no intention of getting out of the way, Ji Xiuyu said expressionlessly: "No, either talk about it here, or get out." Thinking that it was because of her that he had a bad relationship with Xia Xizhi, Ji Xiuyu couldn't have a good attitude towards her.

Seeing this, Fan Ranxi had to stand in place and said, "Grandpa's health is not very good, you know it." The doctor said that he probably only had a few years left. Grandpa has always loved you, so why don't you move back home and live with him. ”

"I have a sense of proportion in this matter. Ji Xiuyu said coldly, "As an outsider, you don't need to interfere too much. ”

Looking at his appearance, Fan Ranxi said bitterly: "Grandpa has always been very good to me and treats me as a future granddaughter-in-law. I failed him, so now, I also want to make amends. ”

His eyes narrowed, and Ji Xiuyu's eyes were like ice: "Grandpa's granddaughter-in-law is a pity, and it has nothing to do with you." If you make up for it, get out of the way. ”

Looking at him in astonishment, Fan Ranxi's eyes were sad: "Xiuyu." ”

Thinking of something, Ji Xiuyu suddenly grabbed her wrist, saw the bracelet, and said questioningly: "Why do you want to buy an identical bracelet, do you want to provoke the relationship between me and Xizhi? Let her mistakenly think that it is a gift from me to you." ”

Before the words fell, Fan Ranxi explained: "No, this is a birthday gift sent to me by my father." It's just that I didn't expect it to be so coincidental that it turned out to be this style. Xiuyu, how are you and Xia Xizhi? Why don't I talk to her about it, maybe I can resolve your misunderstanding. ”

"Not necessarily. Ji Xiuyu put down these two words indifferently, and then slammed the door directly, not giving her any chance to speak.

Seeing the closed door, Fan Ranxi's brows furrowed, and his face flashed with displeasure. Seeing that the lights in the living room went out, Fan Ranxi turned around and left indifferently.
