"Who is so early?" The birthday party started at 7:30 p.m., and now it's just under 6:30. But as soon as he finished speaking, Xia Zhi thought of who it was.

She ran to open the door, and it was Cheng You standing outside the door.

He handed a few food boxes to Xia Zhi and said, "I made a few snacks for Beibei." ”

Bei Bei heard the doorbell ringing and rushed out of the room: "Dad! ”

Cheng You squatted down and hugged her: "Do you miss your father?" ”

"Dad, come and see!" Bei Bei grabbed one of Cheng You's fingers and pulled him into the room.

Xiao Yiqing was still standing on the sofa with decorations, and when Cheng You passed by her, the two nodded to each other and didn't speak.

Beibei's birthday, Cheng You is definitely coming, she should have her parents to hold a birthday party for her.

"Beibei, what do you see Uncle Xiao gave you a birthday present?"

Su Xiao came to Xiao Yiqing's house on time at half past seven, and there were already seven or eight children in the house, all of whom were children who often played together in the community. Summer Solstice opened the door to lure him in, and Bei Bei ran to them from the children's pile.

Su Xiao put the oil painting almost the same height as Bei Bei on the ground, and the little girl with braids in the painting was clearly Bei Bei.

A group of children all rushed up, and Bei Bei and the painting were clustered in the center, and everyone shouted "wow, wow", and it was not clear what they were shouting.

"That big one would take a long time, right?" Xiao Yiqing asked Su Xiao.

He scratched his head and smiled, "It's okay." ”

Xiao Yiqing said happily: "Hey, then I have to collect it." The rising star works of picture book painters in China will rely on this painting to make a fortune in the future. ”

"Sister Yiqing, don't laugh at me. It's good that Bei Bei likes it, it's not worth it. ”

"Can you delete the word 'sister'? It sounds like I'm old. I'm the same age as Xia Zhi, why don't you call her sister? ”

"I'm his sister!" Xia Zhi reminded, haven't they been sisters and brothers for many years?

"Hmm. Yes. Su Xiao also nodded.

The two glanced at each other casually, and Xia Zhi immediately looked away, this kind of unprepared meeting was awkward and strange.

The birthday party began with the joyful sound of "Birthday Song", the children ate and drank and had fun, the adults gathered in the corner of the house to chat, and a few uneasy parents ran in and out after the children to prevent them from getting into a fight.

It was almost nine o'clock, and the children who participated in the birthday party were finally taken away by their parents one by one, and Xia Zhi, Su Xiao, Cheng You, Xiao Yiqing and Bei Bei were left in the house.

"Daddy! Look at me combing my braids! Bei Bei held her doll "beauty", and after following Cheng You's ass, she was still very energetic.

"Oh! yes, what a clever hand Babe! Cheng You helped Xiao Yiqing take care of the battlefield after the birthday party, and turned back to respond to Beibei.

Su Xiao also helped to put the food scraps on the table into the trash, Xia Zhi slapped the back of his hand violently, gave him a look, and then shouted to Xiao Yiqing, who was busy in the kitchen: "Yiqing, I'm tired of eating, go down for a walk, and send Su Xiao to take a ride by the way." ”

"Oh, good!" Xiao Yiqing only threw out a sentence.

When he went out and went down the stairs, Su Xiao looked back and said, "Are you creating opportunities for them?" ”

Xia Zhi sighed and said, "It's not counted." I'm thinking it's rare for a family of three to be together. They have to have the heart to come back together and don't need me to create opportunities. ”

"They...... Why Divorce? "Xiao Yiqing's divorce, Su Xiao only heard Xia Zhi talk about it later. In his memory, the two got along very well, and Cheng You cared for Xiao Yiqing everywhere.

"Why......" Xia Zhi muttered, "maybe, it is that one day I suddenly found that I didn't love the person I imagined." Maybe she was not just talking about Xiao Yiqing, but also herself.

"That'...... What about you? You okay? ”

She turned her face to look at him, and he looked serene, and she replied, "Very good, too good." ”

"Didn't you reconcile?" His eyebrows twitched slightly, the last time he had sent her back here, the two hadn't seen each other again.

She was busy with work, sometimes even on weekends, and he waited until September, when he didn't hear anything from her, and he went to Xinjiang and stayed for nearly a month before returning to Nanzhou.

After coming back, except for the morning jog every day, he basically didn't go out, locked himself in the house to paint, or do some advertising design. doll

He had no friends and cut off almost all social circles. She suddenly feared that one day, he would quietly disappear like countless past friends in her life.

It's a melancholy feeling. She said sullenly: "Some people get lost while walking, the Tao is not the same, there is no need to force it together." ”

Out of the community and walking along the straight street, Su Xiaomo looked ahead, unable to find a suitable language.

"I'm going back, you can go to the subway station by yourself."

She stopped, he turned to look at her and said, "You can come to me, I've always been there." ”

She said yes, but she knew that she would not take the initiative to find Su Xiao.

Xia Zhi approached the New Year with all her anger, and in January 2016, she felt that it was time to part ways.

She called Han Junxi: "Come out, let's talk about the division of property." ”

Xia Zhi didn't want to go back to their former home, but when she saw Han Junxi, she knew that he had already moved out of Qingya's small residence.

"We said the house was for you." He said briefly.

She was stunned for a while, remembering the scene when she submitted the information to handle the transfer of the house. Oh, that's a prophecy. She also said at the time that he was talking nonsense.

The sourness in her heart wore her water chestnut a little, and she said, "It's not mine, I don't want any more." We sell the house, deduct the mortgage, and divide it up as a percentage of the down payment. ”

Han Junxi smiled sadly: "Xia Zhi, do you really want to be so clear with me?" Don't want to accept the slightest bit of my good? ”

She bit her lip, "I hate it when you put on this look like I'm sorry for you." There is no fault party in our marriage, and it is reasonable to divide the property equally. ”

The corners of his lips hooked: "You said that you didn't say sorry for me, then you didn't." ”

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath to suppress the arrogance in her heart, and when she opened her eyes again, she said, "Okay, if you really think I'm cheating, then I don't want the house." See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau next Monday, don't be late. ”

She stood up and was about to leave, but he crossed the table and grabbed her: "Sit down, can I apologize?" ”

"Let it go." She said.

They sat in the window booth of the café, the afternoon sun was slightly warm, and most of the heat was sifted out by the filter glass, but her back was still slightly wet.

The glass bottle with roses on the table was pushed aside when the waiter brought them drinks, and she stared at the rose at the moment, and suddenly realized that it was a very realistic artificial flower.

She sat down again, she didn't really want to be unhappy like this, she wanted to finish everything she had to say, and she even thought that maybe we could be friends in the future......

She looked out the window, and the traffic in Dananzhou was particularly unreal.

"Maybe you never knew me." She said, "I'm grateful that you've done so much for me, but I don't really need to." ”

"I know, I understand, you need to realize your value, right?" He sighed, "If you want to sell the house, you have to drag it out for a year and a half, so you can sell the house to you at a discount." Before, you gave my brother the 120,000 yuan, which was regarded as the house payment. ”

She still shook her head: "The 120,000 yuan is the money saved by the two of us, not all of it is mine." ”

He smiled and said, "It's equivalent to yours, you know I can't save money." This house means more to you, a woman...... It's going to be tough. ”

"Women, like men, are not difficult or difficult." She gave him a blank look, and in his mind, women were always the second sex after men.

"Then you should satisfy my machismo. I don't want people to know that the woman I keep saying I love was still fighting with her for a house when she divorced me. ”

He lowered his gaze and made no contact with her, she drank the cup of coffee in front of her in one gulp, and said, "You want me to owe you." ”

She rested the cup on the plate, a crisp sound echoing between the two.

"I'm leaving." She stood up and didn't say goodbye to him.

She would accept the house, sell it after the two divorced, and transfer his share to him. If you want to break it, you will break it completely, and she doesn't want him to succeed.

She was afraid that if there was still this house between the two, she would be soft-hearted and would turn back again.

She was really tired and didn't want to love someone anymore.
