Zhao Ji set off two hours ahead of schedule according to the agreed time.

When he was halfway there, he suddenly received a text message from Li Shi, informing him to change the meeting place, from the "Meet" café to Mrs. Lily's home.

He had to turn around and go downstairs to Mrs. Lily's house, more than an hour before the agreed time.

He didn't have time to go back to his lodgings, and he didn't want to wander the streets.

Seeing that there was a teahouse called "Tea Tasting Tea" nearby, Zhao Ji parked his off-road vehicle and locked it, and then walked to the door of the teahouse, wanting to sit and drink tea and pass the boring time for more than an hour.

Zhao Ji walked in and saw that the teahouse was extremely lively - there were a few tea guests chatting quietly and talking; There are also a few tables of people playing mahjong, and occasionally cheers rang out.

A tall waitress with upright, touching and beautiful facial features came up to greet her warmly, arranged a guide seat, and brought Zhao Ji a cup of bamboo leaf green tea.

Zhao Ji glanced at the waitress's face, as if he had cried—because her eyes were swollen.

He looked a little surprised......

She quickly turned away...... didn't let Zhao Ji see it, put the tea on the tea table, and then walked away.

……

There was a guest sitting next to Zhao Ji, who should be a regular customer who often came here - a chubby middle-aged man with red cheeks.

Seeing Zhao Ji staring at the waitress in surprise, he whispered to Zhao Ji: "This waiter's name is Xiaowei, she is very sad today, her fiancé doesn't want her!" ”

"This is people's privacy, how do you know?"

"Hehe, once this kind of news spreads, it spreads quickly...... I've listened to people too......"

The tea guest smiled...... With that, continue to drink his tea.

Zhao Ji deliberately paid attention for a moment, and deliberately took a look at the waitress named "Xiaowei".

I saw that after Xiaowei brought tea to Zhao Ji, she was close to an inconspicuous corner of the bar.

One hand held her tear-stained cheeks, and the other hand fiddled with her phone anxiously, tears streaming down her fingers.

It looks really pitiful......

If someone shouted for tea, or if there were guests one after another, she would go over to bring water or say hello, and then go back to her place and be depressed.

Xiaowei's sadness involuntarily infected Zhao Ji's mood.

Zhao Ji began to think that the date that awaited him was with a mission - he wanted to make a decision with Li Shi, make his words clear, and never communicate again......

His mind kept tumbling...... Full of an indescribable confusion and contradiction, where can we be happy? He went to this appointment, and he was nervous and not relaxed at all......

The serious problem before him now is easy to say if you talk about the joy and intoxication of love to each other, but if you say that you break up, it is extremely painful, and it is difficult to speak.

I wonder if Li Shi can accept it? …… If he doesn't speak well, will Li Shi have excessive words and actions......

It's an extremely difficult task, how can it not make him anxious?

"She can't mess around with my sister...... That would be playing with fire......"

At this time, Li Heng's words rang in his ears again, and it pierced into Zhao Ji's heart like a sharp arrow.

He saw the river that flowed like a girdle around the town. Didn't he stand here three days ago, on the banks of this little river, and pondered happiness?

Now that his happiness with Li Shi may have become an impossibility,—— Zhao Ji hesitated, he pushed happiness away, he had to push happiness away.

Happiness came too suddenly, but it disappeared too quickly, and he felt uneasy.

Li Shi herself has her extremely enthusiastic mind, her disgraceful life experience in the past, and all the upbringing she has received...... This is indeed a quirky girl who attracts him to like-

To be honest, she scared Zhao Ji.

This feeling has been struggling and struggling in Zhao Ji's heart for a long time.

The appointed time is almost up.

"I must never marry her in any case. She will not be a virtuous wife in the future, she is so inferior, maybe she will become strong in the future...... When the time comes, I will only be the fate of a domestic slave ......"

Zhao Ji finally made up his mind.

"Maybe she must not know that I am already in love with her. As long as Li Heng doesn't say it, she will never know this secret. What if Li Heng says it......"

Whatever, take one step at a time, as long as Li Shi doesn't have problems......

So, he stood up, walked to the front of the bar, and put twenty yuan of tea money in poor Xiaowei's hand...... wanted to comfort her a few words, but when the words came to his lips, seeing Xiaowei's unhappy look, he didn't even say thank you to him, so he gave up.

He looked at his watch, and when it was the appointed time, he walked towards Lady Lily's house......

At this time, on the edge of the sky, there was a narrow white cloud, showing a bright red brilliance.

- It seemed to be filled with a sunset like an evening glow, a little vague and as if something dim and dark floated over the streets.

He knocked softly on the door with his fingers without force, and it opened immediately. The one who opened the door was a spirited, kind old woman.

The old woman staggered ahead and guided...... He stepped up to a threshold that was not too high, it was dark and there were no lights, so he could only grope his way slowly.

"Young people! Please go here!" The old woman said, "She's anxiously waiting for you!" ”

Zhao Ji walked slowly a few steps in the dark, and a skinny little hand grabbed his big hand.

"I guess you're Lady Lily, right?" Zhao Ji asked.

"Yes! I am. "Lady Lily said, "Young man! Don't be afraid, hurry up! After that, he led Zhao Ji up the steep stairs and stopped at the staircase on the third floor.

In the faint light that came in from a small window in the hallway, Zhao Ji saw Mrs. Lily's wrinkled and distressed face clearly—

A sweet, sly smile made her shriveled lips open slightly, and narrowed her dull and old eyes.

Lady Lily pointed to the little door at the end of the hallway, and said, "You go in there." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Zhao Ji walked over alone, and pushed open the small black door that was not sturdy with the stiff and weak movement of one hand.

After entering, there was a "bang", and he casually closed the door.

This small room was dim, but it felt cramped and seemed a little damp, and Li Shi was not immediately seen. He stood at the doorway, and froze, and then he saw—

A small bed rests against the window, heavy green curtains drawn...... Li Shi wore a pink dress with a long shawl wrapped around her body.

She sat on the edge of the bed, saw Zhao Ji come in, glanced at it and immediately turned her head away—like a frightened lamb, she meekly bowed her head in front of her master.

Her breath was short, her heart was racing, her whole body was trembling, and she exuded an irresistible alluring aura.

The girl's posture and aura were infecting Zhao Ji, and he felt an indescribable feeling rippling all over his body. He came over to pity her expression and looked her face in the face.

Li Shi twisted her face to the side again......

"Ashi ......," Zhao Ji called softly.

Li Shi suddenly straightened her waist like an electric shock, and looked at Zhao Ji for a moment, just for a moment—without looking at it continuously.

Zhao Ji quickly took one of her small hands, put it in his palm, and kept rubbing it—because this little hand—like a corpse-like hand...... It was so cold that there was no warmth.

"I—I had hoped we ...... Can...... But ......"

Li Shi opened her mouth to speak, trying her best to smile contrivedly, trying to express that she had already thought of the language, but her pale and weak little lips did not go as she wished.

"I used to think about ...... No...... Now I can't think about it...... Because ......," she said, and then fell silent again.

She couldn't seem to articulate what she was feeling, so she had to stop, her heart pounding.

"Ashi, say whatever you want, okay? Don't hold it in your heart, it will suffocate your heart. ”

Zhao Ji comforted.

He felt that every word Li Shi uttered was intermittent—he was a little anxious, otherwise he would be infected by her emotions, and he might not be able to speak clearly.

Zhao Ji sat on the edge of the bed and sat down next to Li Shi—one hand around her waist and the other holding his.

"Ashi ......" Zhao Ji called softly and gently again, and after the call, he couldn't say anything more.

There was a long silence at first—Zhao Ji continued to hold Li Shi's little hand, wrapped his arms around her soft waist, and looked at her enthusiastically with a pair of affectionate eyes......

Her whole body was still shrunken and shaking...... He seemed to be struggling to breathe.

She was so suppressed that she was about to die, so she bit her lower lip gently, trying not to let herself cry, and tried to hold back the tears that flowed down her eyes......

Zhao Ji still looked at Li Shi.

In Li Shi's timid and pandering motionless posture, there was a helpless, and extremely seductive demeanor that aroused Zhao Ji's pity-

She seemed to be tired and reluctantly moved to Zhao Ji's front, Zhao Ji gently pulled her body, and she fell into Zhao Ji's arms like this.

Zhao Ji's heart softened suddenly...... The psychological defense line has completely collapsed.

"Li Shi......" Zhao Ji said excitedly in a barely audible voice......

Li Shi slowly raised her beautiful Danfeng eyes...... Ah—it's the burning gaze of a woman who fell in love with him,—— who can describe it?

Zhao Ji thought, even the top masters who won the literary award could not describe it.

These eyes, it is praying for happiness, it is in conviction, it is asking for temptation, it is in obedience...... In any case, Zhao Ji couldn't resist these charming eyes.

An irrepressible love fire, like a scorching acupuncture, touched Zhao Ji's whole body and formed an irrepressible emotional warmth.

Zhao Ji immediately leaned down, completely pressed his body against Li Shi, and pressed his lips against hers......
