Marriage in crisis

Because you can't detect any utilitarianism in her conversation, let alone any purpose.

There is no central idea at all, it's just like friends who hit it off at first sight, who really meet by chance and happily spend time together!

Moreover, it was she who took the initiative to leave. She looked at the exquisite little watch on her wrist and said to me with a smile, "Oh! Look how time flies. It's been more than two hours! I'm sorry to have delayed you!"

What she said was very natural and made people feel very comfortable. This was the right balance for a first acquaintance, and she got it right.

I quickly responded to her, "No, I'll do a round of inspection in the morning, meet up with friends in the afternoon, and then pick up the kids."

I smiled cautiously, but in my heart I was thinking, is this the end?

"That's right! Relax yourself, don't be too tense! Money is not earned in a day or even in one go, just let it go! Learn to enjoy life!"

She said it in a relaxed manner, with a hint of friendship between people of different generations, "Then let's stop here today! I won't bother you anymore!"

"How about we have a meal together? It's already lunch time!" I hurriedly and sincerely tried to persuade him to stay, "And let me play the role of a good host!"

"Thank you in advance. No! I have an appointment! We have a long way to go. It's great to know that you are still in Qingcheng. If it's convenient for you, I will make an appointment with you in advance when I come next time." Song Li reached out and took his bag. "I came to Qingcheng to work and relax at the same time! It's so good here, I'll just come here to recharge!"

After she finished speaking, she stood up, and I quickly stood up as well, "Qingcheng doesn't have any other friends?"

I asked this on purpose.

"We have many work relationships, but as for friends...you are one!" She smiled at me lovingly, and her smile was very genuine, unlike the awkward one that Xing Zhili had at the beginning.

Then he said sincerely, "It's a pleasure to chat with you! We have something in common!"

I smiled, "That's great! When are you leaving?"

"I'm not sure yet. There's nothing urgent in the capital, so I'll stay for a few more days!" Song Li said.

"Then where do you live in Qingcheng?" I walked out side by side with her.

"We do have a house here. After all, we have business here, so it's more convenient," she explained, and then added, "It's in the middle of the mountain!"

"Oh! Then we are closer. I also have a place halfway up the mountain, but it's vacant now. I live in Jinding Guanlan. But yours is also very close to mine!" I said casually.

"What a coincidence?" Song Li paused, "Then you can come and visit me when you have time!"

What she said was to let me go to her place and sit for a while, not to say, I will visit you some other day! This is where she is better than Xing Zhili.

"Okay!" I agreed readily without any pretense.

"I haven't received your call yet!" Song Li stood at the door, as if he had just remembered something, and smiled at me and said, "I didn't expect that we are really destined to meet in such a big city like Qingcheng."

I quickly called her and she called back.

This chance encounter ended in a separation that was still unsatisfactory, and the timing was mastered to perfection.

I watched her leaving figure disappear from my sight. I turned around and winked at Chi Xi. She understood and soon walked straight to the car and drove away.

I returned to She Hui's shop.

She Hui asked, "Who is this woman?"

I didn't answer her question, but asked her, "What do you think of this woman?"

She Hui raised her eyes and glanced at me, "That depends on what aspect!"

"What was your overall impression when we first met?" I said directly.

"This woman is not simple. There is another pair of eyes behind her eyes!" She Hui said it very directly, but I felt it was particularly accurate.

I just smiled and didn't say anything. She Hui looked at me in confusion and asked, "What's wrong? What I said is wrong?"

"Not only is it correct, but it's also accurate! She's very intellectual and gentle, and gives people a stable and reliable appearance, right?" I looked at She Hui and asked, but before she answered, I continued, "But, in fact, it's the feeling you said, there is another face behind her mask."

"Who is it?" She Hui asked, "Not just any soldier, right?"

"Wang Xiaoxia's stepmother!" I said directly. I had nothing to hide from She Hui.

"Ah?... Then I'm lucky enough to see the real-life version!" She Hui stopped what she was doing, walked over, handed me a glass of lemonade, and then sat next to me. "I've heard that this woman is quite extraordinary. It turns out to be her! She really lives up to her reputation!"
