Be in low spirits

Li Li took the slippers, threw them in front of her, and said with a gloomy face: "Why don't you wear shoes?" She sighed, put on her shoes, tied on an apron, and went to cook.

After thinking for a while, he still spoke: "Did you go to see Fu Yan?" The rice cooker was covered as he finished speaking. "Yeah." She answered softly, trying to pretend that she didn't care. "Why did you hide it from me?" He didn't know why, but he felt a little panicked and annoyed.

"I should ask you this question!" She stood in front of him, looking him in the eye, wanting to know the answer. "What did he say to you?" He didn't know what happened, but this look scared him.

"You were the one who gave me the medicine that night, right? Why?" She knew that once you asked some questions, you couldn't take them back, but if she didn't ask, she would always have a knot in her heart. He didn't know that one day this matter would be exposed, and he didn't know that this day would come so soon. "Zhixi, listen to my explanation, it's not like that."

"You explain, I'll listen." She also wanted to hear his explanation. "I..." He didn't know how to explain, the fact was indeed like this, "These... These are not important..." He grabbed her shoulders, desperately hoping that she would not pursue the past. "You deceived this marriage!" She originally thought that she liked him, but when she heard him admit these facts in person, she realized that she didn't, she was just deceiving herself.

He held her in his arms, trying to grab something, "No, you...you believe me, I..." He wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start. "What do you want from me?" She was a little indifferent, and this embrace only made her feel sick.

"I just wanted you, so... I used some tricks..." He didn't dare look into her eyes, he knew they must be full of disappointment. She didn't want to continue, it turned out that she had never thought of continuing from the beginning.

"Let's get a divorce." She should have a free soul and should not be bound by this damn marriage, not to mention it was a marriage that was deceived.

She finally said it out. She had endured it for so long, but she finally said it out. "No!" He made up his mind, grabbed her shoulders and kissed her fiercely. Kong Zhixi frowned and tried to break free, but he held her tighter.

His kiss was so overbearing that it almost took her breath away. She blushed and the rice in the rice cooker began to emit steam. He still felt it was not enough, so he let her go and threw her horizontally on the bed. Kong Zhixi's heartbeat quickened and she wanted to escape, but he locked the door. At this moment, she seemed to have never known him before and became scary.

She took the opportunity to slap him when he tore off her apron, grabbed the quilt and covered herself with it, curled up into a ball, and cried in grievance. "You are the one who asked, you are the one who asked." She sobbed, hoping to arouse his reason.

It was like this every time, and every time he felt frustrated. It seemed like he had never won against her. He calmed down, sat on the edge of the bed, and stopped forcing her. "You're right, I cheated into this marriage." He also felt uncomfortable, as if a big stone was pressing on his heart.

Kong Zhixi wiped the tears from her face stubbornly, "What do you want from me?" She couldn't understand how she had provoked him and why he had to deceive her in this way?

Li Li sighed, "I don't know. When I saw you at the airport, maybe I was attracted by your vigorous vitality and free soul. I wanted to pull you to my side at that time. Later, after getting to know you better, I wanted to see you often. I thought about finding reasons to appear in your life. However, I found that you never seemed to pay attention to me. Even when I worked out, found topics you liked, and did things you liked to do, you seemed to only know that I was from the criminal police team." He wiped his face with his hand, turned around and looked at her. He wanted to climb onto the bed and tidy up her hair. Seeing her shrink into the corner again, his heart was filled with regret and self-blame, and he sat back down.

"Why do you have to use such means?" She hugged herself again. Her heart felt like it was being squeezed by someone. It was painful and tight.

He paused for a long time, but still didn't answer. When she asked, his only self-esteem was thrown away by her. "Let's all calm down." He tidied himself up, opened the door and walked out.

Kong Zhixi hid in the corner, still trembling. When did this marriage begin to change?

Li Li was also sitting in the car, wondering why he couldn't control himself every time he faced her. Things weren't that bad, and he could explain it to her. What was he afraid of? Didn't they live peacefully for two years after marriage? Even if they didn't see each other often, at least she was by his side, quiet and peaceful. Was he asking for too much?

Kong Zhiting called her. She sniffed, wiped her tears, and answered the phone: "What's wrong?"

"Sister, Mom and Dad are arguing. Do you want to come over and try to persuade them? I can't stop them by myself." She was so anxious that she jumped in the room. She didn't dare to speak too loudly, and she had to keep an eye on the two people outside the door from time to time.

"Just wait." She threw back the quilt, packed the rice from the rice cooker into a bag and took it away.

When she got home and opened the door, the two old people were sitting at the dining table with their eyes wide open, not saying a word. She went to the kitchen to serve herself some food, sat down to eat, and said, "Dad, don't you have to be on duty?"

Kong Zhiting also served herself some rice and took it to the table to eat. "Your father only knows how to be on duty and go on missions, and doesn't care about anything at home!" Kong's mother also put down the bowl in her hand.

"Didn't I tell you that I'll be back after the mission? Why are you still making a fuss? A birthday is just about eating a cake, right? How long does it take? I didn't say I wouldn't accompany you, and we're already an old married couple. It's you who's making a fuss." Kong Zhixi kicked his father and glared at him. "Mom, do you want us to celebrate your birthday together?"

"No, I just want your dad to spend a day with me." Kong's mother seemed to have been holding back for a long time. "Look, I've already said it, one day is impossible, I have to complete my mission and go to work!" Kong Jianping began to complain about himself, and then he was kicked again. "Mom, one day is not realistic, it's been so many years, you see?"

"Why are you two like this? Was it me who made trouble? When will you get together for my birthday? What did I do?" The chopsticks were slammed on the table. Mother Kong didn't eat her meal and sat on the sofa to watch TV with tears in her eyes.

The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. This was over. They were completely offended. Kong Zhixi leaned over to her father and whispered, "Did you buy a gift?"

Kong Jianping also whispered, "The money is all with your mother. Where can I get the money to buy gifts?" After that, the two looked at Kong Zhiting again. She put down her chopsticks, leaned closer and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me."

"How about you give the money to buy a present for Dad, and buy a cake for Mom as well, and then you move out on Mom's birthday?"

"Why? It was clearly my dad's fault. I paid for it, but why do I have to move out?" Kong Zhiting was a little indignant.

Kong Jianping and Kong Zhixi clapped their hands, and the money for the gift and cake was in their hands. Then she put some dishes in Kong's mother's bowl, brought it to his father, shook her head, winked, and asked him to take it over to coax his wife. His father sighed, took the bowl over, and she also took her sister's hand and went out to find a midnight snack.

Kong Zhiting chewed the skewers and said, "Mom is not that easy to appease, right? Will you be self-defeating?" She replied without even raising her head, "Mom doesn't really want Dad to accompany her all day, she just wants to show some attitude. As a police wife for so many years, shouldn't she know whether Dad has time or not?"

"My brother-in-law wouldn't coax you in the same way, right?" When she mentioned her brother-in-law, she never thought that she was also the executioner who facilitated this marriage.

"No coaxing." She paused and replied unhappily.

Seeing this, Kong Zhiting guessed that the two had quarreled. She gossiped with interest: "Fighting?" Kong Zhixi took a few skewers and said, "Pay the bill after eating. I have to go on duty." She left, leaving the younger sister wailing: "Why do I have to pay for everything? My money is also hard-earned money!"
