After receiving a call from Wen Shizhong, Leng Qingxi was a little surprised, since Leng Qingxi moved back to live here, the two of them almost never contacted each other again.

Leng Qingxi knew that Mu Xuncheng and Wen Shizhong were very good friends, and she didn't want to let Wen Shizhong and Mu Xuncheng have any estrangement because of herself.

Therefore, she can only stay away from this friend.

Wen Shizhong called to ask Leng Qingxi to have time to meet.

Leng Qingxi didn't know why Wen Shizhong suddenly asked him out, after all, the two of them hadn't seen each other for so long, and it didn't seem good if they refused.

So she casually promised him that she would call him when she was free.

Putting down the phone, Leng Qingxi didn't take it to heart. She packed her things and got ready for bed.

Before going to bed, she habitually walked to the living room, wanting to sort out her design draft, and walked to the table, only to remember that her draft was gone.

She walked back to the house in despair, and lay down on the bed depressed.

When she went to work the next day, Leng Qingxi had forgotten Wen Shizhong's phone number, and it wasn't until she was busy with a day's work and when she sat at her desk that she saw that Wen Shizhong had already made two calls to herself.

She remembered that she had promised Wen Shizhong, she sighed and returned the phone.

The phone rang and was picked up, and Wen Shizhong's warm voice came from the other side of the phone: "Why Xiaoxi, don't you answer my phone?" He joked lightly, with a little grievance in his tone.

"What, I've been busy today, so I have time to look at my phone." Leng Qingxi explained.

"Oh, I thought it was because I didn't want to see me, so I didn't even answer my phone." Wen Shizhong said.

"How so?"

"So, are you free tonight?" Wen Shizhong asked reluctantly.

"Tonight, I'm ......" Leng Qingxi's brain was running rapidly, hoping to think of something, but she was really not good at lying, and after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't come up with a suitable reason.

"That's fine, okay, I made an appointment tonight, I'll pick you up after work, and we'll go to dinner." Wen Shizhong interrupted Leng Qingxi's words and said to himself.

"But I ......" Leng Qingxi still wanted to struggle, but Wen Shizhong didn't give her a chance.

"Okay, that's it, I'll pick you up after work, you can think about whether to eat Chinese food or Western food." After speaking, he didn't wait for Leng Qingxi to agree, and hung up the phone.

Leng Qingxi looked at his mobile phone, was stunned for a while, and said helplessly: "Where is this appointment with me, this is obviously a kidnapping." ”

Having said that, Leng Qingxi still called Lao Zhou and told him that he was going to work overtime tonight.

In fact, whether he said it or not, it was no different, anyway, the other party would not bring his own food, she did this, just to let Mu Xuncheng stop bothering herself, if he knew that he was going out to eat with others, he would definitely ask who the other party was, if he knew that it was Wen Shizhong, he would have to spend a lot of time, so she simply blocked the other party's mouth first.

After getting off work in the evening, Leng Qingxi deliberately waited for his colleagues to leave before he went downstairs.

What are you kidding, she is enough to attract everyone's attention on weekdays, and she doesn't want to spread any more scandals in the company.

She sneaked downstairs, looking around until she was sure that her colleagues were gone, and then she walked out of the building.

Wen Shizhong's car was parked far away opposite the company building, and he could be seen waving warmly to him from afar.

Leng Qingxi trotted and came to Wen Shizhong's car, Wen Shizhong teased: "I don't see it, you still have the potential to be an agent." ”

Leng Qingxi blushed and said, "Don't make trouble, I don't want to be seen by my colleagues." ”

"Then get in the car." Wen Shizhong opened the car door for Leng Qingxi and made a gesture of invitation in a chic manner.

Leng Qingxi bent over and got into the car.

Wen Shizhong drove the car, and the two of them came to a nearby Western restaurant.

After sitting down, Wen Shizhong asked Leng Qingxi: "What do you want to eat?" ”

"Whatever, just eat a little." Leng Qingxi smiled a little unnaturally.

"Alright then, just two steaks and a bottle of red wine." Wen Shizhong said to the waiter beside him.

"Well, you don't need wine. Don't you have something to say to me? Leng Qingxi sat opposite Wen Shizhong, like sitting on pins and needles.

The two of them sat facing each other, and Leng Qingxi found that the corners of Wen Shizhong's mouth were blue.

She hesitated, but still asked with concern, "What's wrong with your face?" ”

Wen Shizhong subconsciously touched the corners of his mouth and said with a bright smile: "Oh, it's nothing." ”

"How could it be nothing?" Leng Qingxi asked in disbelief. Looking closely, she realized that not only the corners of his mouth, but also a bruise on his forehead.

"Do you really want to know how this was done?" Wen Shizhong suddenly put away his smile and looked at Leng Qingxi very seriously.

Wen Shizhong has always been a very warm and cheerful friend, and when he suddenly looked at himself like this, Leng Qingxi felt a little uncomfortable.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Leng Qingxi lowered his head and whispered.

Wen Shizhong's body leaned forward: "No, I must tell you." ”

Leng Qingxi couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Wen Shizhong's gourd: "What are you asking me out for?" ”

"I'm ......" Before Wen Shizhong could finish speaking, the waiter came over with the food: "I'm sorry, sir, miss, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

Wen Shizhong's words were interrupted by the waiter, and when the waiter put away his things and turned to leave, Leng Qingxi asked, "What did you want to say just now?" ”

"Nothing." Wen Shizhong said very frustratedly: "The steak here is very good, you eat more." ”

Leng Qingxi nodded, and did not ask.

For a moment, all that remained on the table was the sound of knives and forks and plates clashing.

"How are you doing?" Wen Shizhong asked for a long time.

"It's okay, anyway, my life is like that, you know, Mu Xuncheng won't let me live too happily." In front of Wen Shizhong, Leng Qingxi felt that there was no need to hide it, he was Mu Xuncheng's friend, and he should know Mu Xuncheng's character best.

"Looking for him, sometimes it is very awkward, but his heart is not so bad, it's just that many times, he doesn't know how to express it, and he doesn't know how to get along with the people around him." Wen Shizhong excused Mu Xuncheng.

"Whatever, anyway, there is no relationship between us, I think he also told you that there is only a two-year contract between us, and once it ends, I will have nothing to do with him."

Wen Shizhong nodded, indicating that he knew.

"It's you, you asked me out today, wouldn't it be to say good things for Mu Xuncheng." Leng Qingxi said half-jokingly.

Wen Shizhong smiled and shook his head, of course not, although there was no affection between Mu Xuncheng and Leng Qingxi, he would not say good things about his rival.

"Didn't you ask me about the wound on my face?" Moon decided to use a roundabout tactic. "This wound was beaten by someone else."

"What? How so? Leng Qingxi asked in surprise.

"Do you know who hit me?" Wen Shizhong continued to ask.

Leng Qingxi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Is it looking for a city?"

"What? Mu Xuncheng, there was a fight between you? ”

"That's right, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and that day, we all drank some wine, and we didn't agree with each other, so we started to do it." Wen Shizhong smiled bitterly: "Speaking of which, I have been friends with Xuncheng for so many years, and I didn't know that he was so ruthless." ”

"Between you, is it because of what happened last time?" Leng Qingxi asked incredulously.

"Yes and no." Wen Shizhong replied.

"Yes or no."

"It's because of you, but not because of that day, because I confessed to him that I liked you, and I said that if he didn't cherish you, I would do better than him, so, we fought." Moon continued to drop bombshells.

Leng Qingxi listened to Wen Shizhong's words, and didn't react for a while, just looked at Wen Shizhong blankly, and asked stupidly, "What do you like?" ”

"I said, I like you." Wen Shizhong said softly. "I don't want to see you get hurt, and I don't want to see you sad, if Xuncheng can't take care of you, I'm willing to replace him."

"You, you, you're not kidding." Leng Qingxi stammered, she had always regarded Wen Shizhong as a very good friend, and she never thought that one day, he would say such things to herself.

"Aren't you amazing? and Xuncheng never showed weakness in the face of confrontation. Wen Shizhong said with a smile.

"How is this the same, Wen Shizhong, don't make fun of me, I'm miserable enough now." Leng Qingxi still said stubbornly.

"It's a joke, I'm serious." Wen Shizhong said softly: "I have known you for a long time, but you have known me for a long time, Xuncheng's attitude towards you makes me very angry, but sometimes, I will be very happy, because it is precisely because of this that I can chase you justifiably." ”

"But, aren't you afraid that Mu Xuncheng will turn against you?"

"Looking for the city, it's good if he's angry, you're a rare good girl, I can't miss you because of this. Moreover, don't you have no feelings for the city? Wen Shizhong looked at Leng Qingxi with expectation.

Leng Qingxi had recovered from the shock at this time, she stabilized her mind, but she didn't know how to talk to Wen Shizhong.

When she and Wen Shizhong met for the first time, they didn't have much of a good impression of this big boy, and of course Leng Qingxi also admitted that this was because of her attitude towards Mu Xuncheng. However, in the process of getting along slowly, she really regarded Wen Shizhong as her friend, and his sunshine and warmth made Leng Qingxi feel very comfortable.

But in the face of such a sudden confession, what should I say?

If you don't handle it well, you may lose this friend in the future.

She looked at Wen Shizhong's burning gaze and sighed: "Shizhong, I really regard you as my good friend, and Mu Xuncheng and I are indeed a transactional relationship, but you have also seen that since we have become friends, it has had a great impact on your relationship, and I don't want one day, you really turn against me because of me." ”

Wen Shizhong wanted to open his mouth to refute something, but Leng Qingxi stopped him.

"Don't talk yet, listen to me first, Mu Xuncheng and I do not have feelings, but I have promised him that in these two years, I will play the role of a wife. Therefore, I don't think about emotional matters until we get divorced. ”

Wen Shizhong expected that his confession would be rejected, but he didn't expect to be rejected so simply.

"Qingxi, do you think this kind of life is really what you want?"

"It's really not what I want, but I also fight for what I want, Shizhong, I hope that we can always be friends, you don't embarrass me." Leng Qingxi smiled.

"I will not give up, I still firmly believe that I am the one who can give you happiness, and I will always wait for you." Wen Shizhong said unwillingly, not swayed by Leng Qingxi's words at all.

Leng Qingxi shook her head, but found that Mu Xuncheng's figure flashed outside the window, and when she looked carefully, there was nothing, and a bad premonition came to her heart.
