ex-wife

Chapter 245

"Actually, I don't eat chili anymore. I have a bad stomach these past few years, so I can't eat spicy food." She said lightly, her eyes misty.

Li Jingze's heart stopped beating for a moment, as if the most precious thing in a certain corner of his heart was gouged out with a knife...

Why, do you feel this way?He himself doesn't know.
He stared at Xiaoxi's faint smile, slender shoulders, protruding just right and streamlined collarbone, and the pain began to spread silently and rapidly.

He had this feeling before. It was very painful. It was the second Christmas after Xiaoxi went to France. When he called Xiaoxi, he knew that in far away France, that guy named Feng Lijia had been with him all the time. Looking at her, the feeling at that time was exactly the same as now...

He forced a stiff smile, embarrassed, "I'm so sorry, I don't know... I thought you were still the same as before... Then... let's change places!"

"Forget it! Since you've already ordered, let's eat here. I'll add some non-spicy dishes!" She picked up the menu and beckoned to the waiter.

Xiaoqian has been silently watching these two people without expressing his opinion, and the atmosphere fell into dullness for a while.

The sudden ringtone of the cell phone broke the dullness, it was Xiaoqian's cell phone ringing.

"I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone!" This is the habitual courtesy of Xiao Qian, who has been promoted to the vice president of the company, and he has not forgotten to maintain it in front of his family.

Xiaoxi browsed the menu, only hearing Xiaoqian's intermittent conversation:
"Yes! I am!...the police station?...What happened to my brother?...Okay, I see...I'll be right here..."

After hearing this, Xiaoxi immediately put down the menu and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with the second brother? Let's go together!"

Xiaoqian glanced at Li Jingze, and pressed Xiaoxi's shoulder, "It's okay, that idiot Xiaomi, he drove and parked indiscriminately, and was dragged away by the traffic police including people and cars! I'll go and see and get him out! It's nothing It's a big deal, you guys eat first. Jingze, I'll leave my sister to you, don't make trouble for me, or you'll look good on me!"

"But I'm still worried about Second Brother, Big Brother, I'd better go with you!" Xiao Xi stood up.

"It's really not necessary! You don't believe in your elder brother's ability so much? This trivial matter is nothing to worry about!" Xiaoqian pushed her back to her seat and said, "Aren't you still going to see grandma today? Wait until you leave When the police come back, the hospital probably won’t let you in, so you’d better eat obediently and let Jingze take you to see grandma later!”

Xiaoxi didn't say a word, watched Xiaoqian leave, ordered a few light dishes, and chatted with Li Jingze calmly, asking how Uncle Li and Mama Li were doing, how Jing Yu was, etc. .

The topics between them, the people and things mentioned are so familiar, yet so strange.This made Li Jingze very uncomfortable. From his point of view, he and Xiaoxi were as familiar as the hands and feet of the body. He once swore that his body and skin were his parents.He and Xiaoxi are the hair and skin of the same parents, they are best friends, they are brothers, why did they become what they are today?
"Xiao Xi, are you going to leave this time?" He asked tentatively.

It happened that Xiaoxi's pickled cabbage and fish soup was served, Li Jingze naturally picked up the bowl in front of him, filled a bowl of soup, but put it in front of Xiaoxi, and then brought Xiaoxi's bowl over, it was for himself Sheng's.

Xiaoxi witnessed his coherent movements, which were as natural as before, without the slightest affectation or awkwardness, and couldn't help smiling bitterly. In his heart, he really thought that nothing had changed.
He didn't break it, he took the spoon and gently mixed the soup, and wanted to send it to his lips, but he heard him softly, "Wait!"

"Huh?" She was a little surprised.

"It's still hot!" He frowned slightly, "What do you mean when you grow up, it's different from before, it's not the same!"

She smiled, this time from the heart, because he still remembered her recklessness.

Bending her head down and gently blowing on the oily soup in the spoon, she heard his soft voice echoing like a cloud above her head, "Xiaoxi, haven't you answered me yet?"

"What?" She blew harder, and the soup splashed back into the bowl.

"Are you still going?"

"... I don't know." She really didn't know.

"Why did you leave?" When he mentioned that she suddenly decided to leave four years ago, he felt depressed, and he couldn't find the reason. He clearly agreed to come to his school to be with him.

She paused for a long time, then threw the question back to him, "Why did you stay?"

He paused, a little annoyed, "For your parents, for grandma, for brother, for..."

A series of "for.", it seems that the last "for" should be "for me" But, it seems that this is not the reason.That's right, he and her are indeed very close, but they are really nothing, he will not be the reason for her to stay.This frustrates him a bit.

"Okay! I'll think about it carefully!" She raised her face and smiled happily.The eyes are as clear as a lake, without any ripples.

This look made Li Jingze disappointed again, did he want to see what was in her eyes?no it's ridiculous
He shook his head, put aside a certain idea that was emerging, and returned to a relaxed expression, "By the way, Xiaoxi, your French friend didn't come with you this time?"

French friends?Xiaoxi was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that he was talking about Feng Lijia, and smiled, "He? I've been very busy recently, so I don't have time!"

Speaking like this is suspected of deliberately leading people to misunderstand. She admitted that she did it on purpose, but she didn't know what the purpose was.Maybe it was to cover up his true inner thoughts, maybe it was to stimulate him?No, the second one is absolutely not, she quickly denied it.He didn't have the slightest intention for her, so how could there be excitement?

she laughs at herself as an idiot
Her words really made him uncomfortable, his thin lips were pursed, and he didn't speak.

The two ate their own food silently, Xiao Xi chose light food, he ate hot food, such a difference made him feel very depressed, and even wanted to yell out to vent.

In the end, he said, "What's so good about someone who can only draw cartoons to coax children?"

"Huh?" Xiaoxi looked up at him, her eyes were bright.
