Be in low spirits

Mr. Zhang knows more about the laws than Kong Zhixi, and he is also familiar with the various departments in their company. For this activity, basically, just give Mr. Zhang a notice, and he will come up with an activity plan, and Kong Zhixi just needs to cooperate.

It only took half an hour to complete the popularization of law activities. Kong Zhixi went to the tea room to get some tea and snacks, and gathered a few people from their legal department to chat about gossip. After chatting for a while, I found that everyone in the company was obsessed with the couple, and they were obsessed with Cheng Xi and Li Li. They said that the two had known each other since childhood. Cheng Xi came from a wealthy family, but her health was not very good. Her family treated her as a jewel in the palm of their hands. When she was in school, she met Li Li. Knowing that the two families lived not far away, Li Li volunteered to protect Cheng Xi to and from school. The two had been together from elementary school to high school. After high school, Cheng Xi took a half-year leave of absence due to health reasons. Later, she went to college and began to take over the family business. Li Li became a policeman. This sounded like a beautiful love story of childhood sweethearts getting married, but it was opposed by parents. As for which side of the parents opposed it, these people had never heard Cheng Xi say it. Later, Cheng Xi fell ill and was hospitalized. After several years of treatment, he unfortunately passed away and came here.

Kong Zhixi originally thought that Li Li looked old because of his age and his pedantic personality. It turned out that it was because Cheng Xi was sick and his lover passed away.

At noon, the two of them came out of the office to eat. When the people gathered in the legal office saw the boss coming, they dispersed immediately, leaving only Kong Zhixi and the pile of leftover melon seed shells.

"Uh... understanding the lives of the masses is also a part of political work, right? Haha." She explained to the two of them palely, and picked up the melon seed shells on the ground with her feet, thinking that cleaning it up would not make her look too much of a fuss.

"Just ask the aunt to sweep the floor. Sister-in-law, don't be busy. Aunt, come, please sweep the floor." As he said that, he called the cleaning aunt over.

Her voice of "sister-in-law" attracted almost everyone's attention. Now that the two of them were in the same frame, the people in the office were like having an annual meeting, but the voice of "sister-in-law" was like sending them back to hell. Kong Zhixi felt as if she was being put on a frying pan. She looked at Li Lixiang and asked him to save her. He only knew that at noon, she should call for dinner.

"I'm not hungry, I'll just sweep, you guys eat, haha!" Kong Zhixi grabbed the broom from the aunt and lowered her head to sweep the floor. The two stood at the door of the office waiting. There wasn't a big area to sweep, and it would only take two minutes to finish. They still had to go to the cafeteria to eat together.

Kong Zhixi felt very uncomfortable during the meal. Almost everyone in the company was pointing fingers at these three people. Regardless of whether Cheng Xi was Li Li's ex-girlfriend or not, it was the first time that she appeared in public with Li Li as his lover, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Li Li finally noticed her abnormality.

"Sister-in-law, are you not feeling well? Or is the food not to your liking?" Cheng Xi also asked. The two of them seemed to be in sync with each other at this moment.

"Oh, yes, maybe I didn't sleep well last night. How about I go back and have some rest?" Kong Zhixi took advantage of the situation to back out. She felt that if she was still caught between these two people in the afternoon, she could dig a villa out of it with her toes. The main thing was that these employees in their company would sooner or later kill her with their eyes.

"Let me go with you." Li Li pushed the water cup on the table, thinking that drinking some hot water might help ease her symptoms.

"No need. You still have work to do. I'll just go back and take a nap. You go about your business." Kong Zhixi quickly declined. Originally, she just wanted to find an excuse to stay alone for a while.

"How about I ask someone to take you there, sister-in-law?" Cheng Xi seemed to be very worried about her, but the repeated mention of sister-in-law was like Xiao Li Feidao's knife, stabbing her back again and again.

"Just call me Xiao Kong. Calling me sister-in-law makes me seem a little old. Well, Lao Li, you're busy. I'll go back first. You can eat here tonight. I won't cook for you. You guys take your time eating." Kong Zhixi grabbed her bag, thinking that it would be better to slip away if she could.

"Hey, I...then you should have a good rest." Li Li couldn't leave his work behind and follow her back, so he had to shout at her back. "Why are you running so fast now?" He muttered again after sitting down.

"My sister-in-law is quite interesting." Cheng Xi felt that he had roughly figured out Zhixi's status, and she knew Li Li.

"I didn't hear her say she was feeling unwell this morning. Hope nothing will happen to her now?" Li Li was still a little worried. The murderer of the previous kidnapping case had not been found yet, and the same thing might happen again someday.

Li Li was absent-minded the whole afternoon. Although she called him after returning home, he still felt that something was missing around him. Cheng Xi saw it and kept it in her heart. She hesitated and struggled for a long time, but the moment she saw him, her obsession overcame her reason. They had missed each other in their lifetime, and leaving him here was their only chance for a result. They were childhood sweethearts, and they should have a perfect ending.

After the matter was over, he hurried home. After opening the door, he didn't see Kong Zhixi at home, so he called her and she said she was buying vegetables at the market. He was relieved and hung up the phone. He realized that he had long been accustomed to her being around him. Cheng Xi's appearance made him very happy. When they reminisced about the past, it seemed as if the days of school were back. He admitted that he had been attracted to this weak girl when he was young, but when they met again, he no longer had the mentality of a teenager, and his position was also different.

"Why are you back so early? Didn't I tell you to have dinner there?" Kong Zhixi originally thought that she should have more time of freedom.

"I'm worried when you're not around," he said clearly.

"Oh~ I'm fine. I didn't buy any vegetables. Do you think you're hungry? Do you want to buy some more?" Kong Zhixi just wanted to avoid the emotional hesitation between the two.

"Don't you have anything to ask?" Li Li was a little angry. She didn't seem to care at all about him and Cheng Xi.

"What are you asking? Oh, I seem to have forgotten to buy the soy sauce. Why don't you go buy a bottle?" She put the dishes in the kitchen and took them out bit by bit, pretending not to care about his question.

"You..." He wanted to pursue the matter.

"Oh! By the way, let's buy some pineapples. It seems to be the season for eating pineapples recently." Kong Zhixi just wanted him to end the topic quickly. Li Li had no choice but to look at the bottle of soy sauce next to the range hood, then turned around, changed her shoes and went out to buy the pineapples she wanted to eat.

Cheng Xi sat in the office, looking at the trees outside the window. She knew that Li Li was no longer the Brother Li she used to know, but Kong Zhixi didn't care. It might not be difficult to keep him here, but it might be difficult to make him fall in love with her again.

"Actually, can you remember other things when you are with Cheng Xi?" Kong Zhixi was a little curious. She thought that since they were old acquaintances, perhaps if he had close contact with others, he would be able to remember memories other than her.

"What do you want to hear about what happened in school?" Li Li was a little happy. He felt that she couldn't help but ask. No matter what the reason was, it made him happy.

"So if I meet someone I know, I can actually remember some other things, right?" Kong Zhixi felt that these things should be treated equally, so she could also replicate this method and remember things from the past.

"It's hard to say. You always remember things when you faint or pass out, but it's different for me." Li Li recalled the situations when they recalled those things and came to this conclusion.

"That's true." She didn't have many friends in this world, and she was bored of having to deal with the police station's affairs every day.

"Xixi, do you want me to remember more?" He grabbed her hand and looked at her with ambiguous eyes.

Kong Zhixi frowned. The name Xixi seemed a bit disgusting at this time. His eyes made her feel even more disgusted. She pulled her hand away and said, "Actually, if you think she can help you remember the past, I think you can go there every day. I have no objection. You don't have to worry." After saying that, she forced a stiff smile.

Sure enough, she didn't care.
