The living room was eerily silent, save for the crunch of rain falling on the windows. Jane slowly finished eating the re-cooked dumplings. She ate a little bit, packed up the dishes and chopsticks and came out, seeing that Zhou Qi had no intention of leaving, she went to make two cups of strong tea.

Zhou Qi politely said thank you.

The two were speechless for a while, Jian Yi looked at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the cup, and drank them in small sips. There was a boring variety show on the TV, and Jian Yi's eyes fell on it, and he didn't know how much he watched without moving.

Before the cup of tea was finished, Zhou Qi's mobile phone rang. He took one look at it, picked it up, and went to the balcony with his teacup.

Zhou Qi's phone call lasted for 20 minutes, and instead of subsiding, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. Zhou Qi didn't stay any longer, sat for a moment and then got up to leave.

The two who used to be husband and wife are now very polite. Jian Yi sent her out, Zhou Qi hesitated for a moment, and said, "If there is anything from the company that needs my help, just call me." ”

With his current status, this promise is undesirable to many people. But he knew very well in his heart that Jian Yi would not call him.

Jian Yi nodded and politely asked him to pay attention to safety on the road.

Zhou Qi left, and the door closed. Jian Yi exhaled slightly, and she even felt that she didn't even feel like herself a little anymore. People who used to be so close to each other will feel uncomfortable even staying together at this moment. Polite as a stranger.

Jian Yi stood quietly for a while before going to the kitchen.

Zhou Qi came back with her just now and didn't clean it up, she planned to pack the dishes given by the old lady and send them to Peng Tongyuan tomorrow. He didn't go out, he should be at home these days.

Thinking of Peng Tongyuan, Jian Yi's heart sank. She thought he was hiding something from her, and she was going to ask tomorrow when it passed.

Jian Yi cleaned up at home in the morning, and drove out to Peng Tongyuan at noon. But he wasn't at home, Jian Yi pressed the doorbell and no one answered, took out his mobile phone to call him, but no one answered his phone either.

However, the neighbor's aunt saw her, greeted her warmly, and told her that Peng Tongyuan didn't seem to be at home for the past few days, and there was no light at home last night.

He obviously said that he would deal with work at home without leaving anywhere, where did he go now?

Jian Yi wondered in her heart, planning to go to the new house and come back later. The new house had been renovated for months, and she would stop by from time to time to check it out, planning to move back when it didn't have any taste.

Jian Yi stayed in the new house until the evening, put some miscellaneous things according to the neighbor's method of removing formaldehyde, and simply wiped the dust.

She didn't know if Peng Tongyuan was going home, so when she got to the parking lot, she called him again and asked him if he was going home. She called at noon, and he still hasn't called her back, I don't know if he's busy or what.

This time, no one answered the phone for a long time, and when Jian Yi was about to hang up, Peng Tongyuan's voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Ah Yi." ”

His voice was a little weak, as if he had just been subjected to vigorous exercise.

"What are you doing? You weren't at home when I went to you at noon, are you back now? Jian Yi asked.

"I didn't do anything, I just moved something heavy." After a slight hesitation, he said again: "I'm still on the company's side, and I guess it will be a while before I get home." Is there anything wrong with you? ”

"Then I'll wait for you, grandma asked me to bring you something to eat."

Peng Tongyuan was still a little hesitant and said, "Okay, I estimate that it will take almost an hour to go back." If you don't have anything to eat, you can find a place to eat first. ”

Jian Yi sighed and nodded in response.

Jian Yi waited for more than an hour before Peng Tongyuan came back, he didn't drive, he took a taxi back. After the car stopped, he hurriedly got out of the car, his handsome face showed apologies, and said, "There is a little traffic jam on the road, which makes you wait for a long time." ”

Jian Yi said that it was okay and asked, "Why didn't you drive?" ”

She opened the trunk as she spoke, and pulled something out of it.

Peng Tongyuan opened the door and said, "There is a problem with the car, and it has not been sent for repair, so it is very convenient to call a car." ”

He turned around and reached out to pick up something in Jian Yi's hand. Jian Yi didn't let me, and said, "It's okay, there aren't many things, I'll just carry it." ”

Peng Tongyuan didn't insist, and went forward first. After entering the house, he turned on the light and took Jian Yi slippers to change. He took the things that Jian Yi carried and put them on the dining table.

He quickly poured a glass of water for Jian Yi, and Jian Yi took it. I didn't pay attention when I was outside, but then I noticed that his face was a little pale.

She couldn't help but ask, "Is your cold still healed?" Why is your face so pale? ”

Peng Tongyuan sighed, reached out and touched his face, and said, "Is there one?" I'm a little busy today, and I can't eat, so I guess it's a little hypoglycemic. ”

Jian Yi didn't eat outside, but she ordered takeout. She looked at the time and saw that the takeout was still five minutes away, so she put the things on the table in the refrigerator first and asked, "Isn't it a holiday?" What are you busy with. I heard from the aunt next door that you haven't been home for a few days, and the lights haven't been on. ”

Peng Tongyuan smiled slightly and said, "At home, I just came back to have a little fun." There was a problem with an order on the company's side, and it has been processing it for the past few days, and I am so busy that I am dizzy. ”

Peng Tongyuan seemed to have a headache, reached out and pressed his eyebrows, and asked Jian Yi: "Do you want to live here tonight?" ”

Jian Yi sighed and said, "I want to go back." I ordered takeout, ate it and went back. ”

Although Peng Tongyuan said that he hadn't eaten much today, he didn't seem to have much appetite. Halfway through Jian Yi's meal, he didn't move much.

Jian Yi looked at him and asked, "Isn't it to your liking?" ”

"No, I guess I'm hungry." He said with a wry smile. Probably because he really didn't have an appetite, he put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "I'll eat later." ”

He got up and poured a glass of water.

He was quite tired, and there was some tiredness between his eyebrows. Jian Yi didn't stay here for long, and after quickly finishing eating, he cleaned up the garbage and said goodbye and left.

Peng Tongyuan, as usual, sent her to the door and watched her start the car. It wasn't until her car disappeared around the bend in the alley that he withdrew his gaze and stood there for a moment before turning back into the house.

Jane Yi was on her way home when she received a call from her mother, Jian Lan, who looked at it for a while and pulled over to the side of the road and picked up the phone.

Jian Lan on the other end of the phone didn't wait for her to speak, and took the lead in asking, "Are you free tomorrow night?" Without waiting for a simple answer, she continued: "Tomorrow is the birthday of the old lady of the Fan family, and your Uncle Fan hopes that you can attend." ”
