Yun Lian lowered his eyes and gave a soft "hmm".

"I'm just sorry, I have an appointment tonight."

Yun Lian immediately said: "It's okay, then..."

"tomorrow?"

"it is good."

Yun Lian: "Yes."

"Ah."

Obviously Xia Zhixing was not in front of him, but Yun Lian felt that the air seemed to freeze, and there was also a bit of embarrassment mixed in.

"I... I'm off to work."

"it is good."

Yun Lian didn't say anything else, and hung up the phone, but the phone seemed to be sick, and she immediately threw it aside.

Before her breathing fully returned to normal, Yun Lian collapsed on the sofa and covered her heart.

What to say?

This feeling.

Yun Lian has met a lot of gentle people, but most of them are gentle because of her status as a big star, and will not show her irritable side in front of her. There are very few people like Xia Zhixing, even through the phone, It can also make her feel the tenderness very straightforwardly.

To put it simply, since Yun Lian first realized that she would be hated as an actress, she didn't pay much attention to it. Except for partners like Qi Yu and Xiao Xiao who basically stayed together every day, the others She has maintained a relatively strange and dull relationship.

She never thought about getting closer to anyone.

Until now Xia Zhixing came.

Formerly her fiancée, now her married wife.

Even if they get divorced later, it doesn't seem to matter.

She wanted to grab Xia Zhixing's tenderness right now, like a person caught in a flood, grabbing the last piece of driftwood.

Xia Zhixing didn't come to her senses for a long time either. She recalled what she just said and still had the last reluctance, and the sense of strangeness in her heart became more and more obvious.

She has never experienced it.

There was water on the tea table, and she took a sip of it, and then slowly calmed down her heartbeat.

Ji Ning's news came over at this time: 【Leaving? 】

【immediately. 】

[Okay, I'll wait for you at the door first. 】

The reason why she didn't agree to Yun Lian's dinner tonight was not random, but she had already made an appointment with Ji Ning.

After returning to the capital for such a long time, Ji Ning asked her out several times, but she had previously shied away on the grounds that she was busy with work, but this time Ji Ning didn't give her a chance at all, so she could only go to the appointment.

But they are not dating, but going to an art exhibition together.

Ji Ning is not a painter, but she is the curator of an art gallery and usually deals with paintings.

When Xia Zhixing drove to the parking lot outside the museum, Ji Ning waited for her for 5 minutes.

As soon as she saw her car stop, Ji Ning came over.

"Zhixing." Ji Ning smiled brightly, "You are such a busy person, it took me a lot of time to ask you out."

While she was talking, she stretched out her hand, trying to pull Xia Zhixing's wrist.

This was a habit she had before, it was only aimed at Xia Zhixing, she just pulled people to her side and let go.

Xia Zhixing dodged it, but she did it naturally, and handed out the bag in her hand: "This is for you."

The air in the capital city in midsummer is hot and dry. Even though it is dusk now, the hot air sticks tightly to people's bodies, which is not very comfortable.

But what made Ji Ning feel even more uncomfortable was Xia Zhixing's behavior.

"What do you want me to do?" Ji Ning's expression froze, and then he smiled again, "This is my wedding gift from you, there is no need to return it to me."

Xia Zhixing's hand hanging in the air has no intention of turning back, her expression is serious: "Ji Ning, you know what you give yourself."

Ji Ning's eyes blurred: "Isn't what I gave you what you hoped most?"

Inside the bag was a long box, and inside the box lay a roll of paper.

Ji Ning went to find a calligrapher Xia Zhixing liked very much, and wrote a line of message

Wish: Divorce as soon as possible.

"It's none of your business." Xia Zhixing's face gradually turned cold, "Take it back."

Seeing her persistence, Ji Ning smiled again, and then took the bag: "Okay."

"Then I'll put it in the car first."

"it is good."

Ji Ning walked forward, Xia Zhixing followed slowly, his stern face finally softened a little.

Even if her impression of Yun Lian has not changed, she will return this gift.

It's true that the calligraphy was written by a calligrapher she likes very much, but it's really out of the hands of others to intervene in the matter between her and Yun Lian.

What's more, she has a good impression of Yun Lian now.

What's more, Ji Ning was one of her former suitors.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhixing's delicate brows gradually frowned, and when Ji Ning put the bag in his car to look over, he put on a calm look.

"Let's go." Ji Ning clapped his hands, as if there was dust on the bag he was holding just now.

Xia Zhixing noticed this detail, said "hmm" and didn't think about anything else.

Returning the wedding present today is her biggest goal.

An exhibition is currently being held in the gallery, which mainly shows meticulous paintings.

Meticulous strokes are fine strokes, which belong to the category of traditional Chinese painting techniques. The brushwork is neat, delicate and delicate, and the colors are diverse.

Ji Ning can't draw, but she knows how to draw.

Xia Zhixing is an ink painting painter, but she also looks at other types of paintings.

Meticulous painting is a category she admires. Although she has never thought about trying it, she also has some understanding of it.

"The paintings in the museum this time were sent in an event I initiated before." Ji Ning said as she walked, "Some paintings are mature, while others are a little naive, but the different styles make this exhibition more interesting." Colorful."

It is not a particularly large art exhibition, so the requirements for paintings are not so high.

Putting up some newcomers' paintings can be regarded as an encouragement.

Xia Zhixing stood in front of a portrait, on which was an old woman mending shoes with calloused hands, and the artist's age and background were introduced below.

This painting is very delicate, and the person who painted it is only 16 years old this year.

Ji Ning stood beside her and smiled: "This little painter came to me two days ago. He has solid painting skills and is quite cute."

"Well, I'll take a look."

Ji Ning recalled: "Zhixing, when you were 16, you drew better than her."

Xia Zhixing's footsteps stopped: "I don't think there is anything to compare."

"Go, go, go."

"Now the truth is not allowed?"

"This is not to tell the truth, but to say something that is unnecessary. If a child was standing in front of you now, would you say that?"

Ji Ning blinked her eyes: "I will. What's the matter? Know your shame and be brave. You can only make progress if you can withstand blows."

Xia Zhixing: "..."

They had already arrived in a corner, Xia Zhixing was interrupted by Ji Ning, he didn't have such a calm mind, he just felt a little noisy.

Ji Ning and her are elementary school classmates, they used to be neighbors, they lived very close together, and went to and from school together, and then Ji's family moved and changed schools, but Ji Ning still often came to Xia's house to play, Xia Jianchuan and Qin Min both She is very familiar with her and very enthusiastic, and even said that she would recognize Ji Ning as her goddaughter, but Ji Ning refused.

At that time, both Xia Zhixing and Ji Ning had already gone to middle school, and the contact between the two was much less than before. Xia Zhixing spent his free time in the study room drawing, basically not looking for Ji, and this situation lasted for a long time , Ji Ning couldn't resist confessing his love to Xia Zhixing until he graduated from university.

That is, five years ago.

Xia Zhixing refused without thinking.

Because she has a marriage contract, she will marry Yun Lian in the future, and she will not fall in love before that, not to mention that she only has pure friendship with Ji Ning.

But this also let Xia Zhixing know a fact.

That is, she needs to marry and divorce Yun Lian as soon as possible, so that she can have more freedom in her relationship. What if she meets someone she likes in the future?

But Yun Lian postponed it, and the marriage has been postponed.

"I'm hungry." Ji Ning's words brought back Xia Zhixing's thoughts, "It's almost there, let's go eat."

Xia Zhixing opened his mouth, and Ji Ning smiled: "I know you don't want to go to a restaurant, there is a newly opened noodle restaurant not far away, it's delicious, should you go?"

"En." Xia Zhixing responded.

When I came out, dusk had already gone down, and the night in the capital had fallen.

But the wind still brought some heat.

Ji Ning was wearing short sleeves, she glanced at the white shirt Xia Zhixing was wearing, and sighed softly: "You, you haven't changed at all, you just like to wear shirts every day."

"Yes."

Xia Zhixing's figure is a bit thin, and he is also thin. The shirt fits well and looks good.

But her temperament is very good, what doesn't look good in her clothes?

Ji Ning cleared her throat before asking, "How are you getting along with her?"

She was very curious about this, because Xia Zhixing almost disappeared after getting married.

Ji Ning knew that this marriage was a bondage for Xia Zhixing, didn't she never think that Xia Zhixing would not have to get married?What age is this, baby kissing is no longer applicable, isn't it?

But unfortunately, Xia Zhixing got married.

And she didn't know who Xia Zhixing's marriage partner was for so many years. She asked Uncle Xia and Aunt Qin, but the other party said it was inconvenient to say.

What's the inconvenience?But Ji Ning was not in any trouble.

But she is still curious now, but not as directly as before.

"Not bad." When Xia Zhixing answered this question, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

The alarm bells in Ji Ning's heart rang.

Although the smile is not very curved, Ji Ning still finds it dazzling.

and……

This was the first smile Xia Zhixing showed since meeting Xia Zhixing today.

But it has nothing to do with her.

Ji Ning clenched her fist quietly, and let go before Xia Zhixing noticed.

She exhaled secretly, and asked again: "Zhixing, don't you have a crush on her?"

Having known Xia Zhixing for so many years, she knows how Xia Zhixing feels. Although the wedding gift is selfish, she also knows that "early divorce" is what Xia Zhixing is looking forward to.

But Ji Ning didn't expect to be returned.

What's more, she didn't expect that Xia Zhixing would laugh when she mentioned this wife she didn't know.

The journey to the noodle shop was not long, but Ji Ning suddenly felt so far away.

Xia Zhixing pursed his lower lip, pondered for a while, and then replied in a very serious tone: "Some people you need to get in touch with before you know what they are like."

"she……"

"She's actually nice and cute."

Ji Ning stopped, and Xia Zhixing walked forward a few steps before noticing that she was behind him.

"What's wrong?" Xia Zhixing was a little puzzled.

Ji Ning pretended to be nonchalant: "I suddenly remembered that I still have something urgent to do, so I have to get busy first."

Xia Zhixing was stunned for a moment, and then expressed his understanding: "Go and do your work, I will go by myself."

"it is good."

As soon as Ji Ning left, Xia Zhixing turned around, didn't go to the noodle shop, but got in the car and went back to the apartment.

Since graduating from college, she has basically stopped living at home. The family bought her an apartment and gave her her own space.

Yun Lian didn't sleep well that night. She was a little excited and excited. She tried to listen to quiet songs at night, but she couldn't fall asleep quickly. She fell asleep after being tired.

After a night without dreams, Yun Lian only felt refreshed after waking up.

On WeChat, there was a message from Luo Anjun: [Lianlian, are you in the capital now? ] Yun Lian didn't know what she was doing with this question, so she had to answer honestly: 【Yes. 】The news from Luo Anjun was more than half an hour ago, after Yun Lian finished replying, he had to wait until the second reply: 【Then I'll come to you to discuss the role. 】Yun Lian raised his forehead, and politely refused: 【An Jun, I'll be in a reunion show when I'm in the group, I don't want the little free time I have left to be related to the new play. 】【I just want to find you. 】

Yun Lian's headache was getting worse, could she not understand this truth?

Of course liking someone means wanting to see her. She has never experienced love, but there are many examples from hearsay and seeing.

But she wouldn't give Luo Anjun the slightest chance, this time she was a little more straightforward: 【Sorry, Anjun, I think you have to distance yourself from me. 】Luo Anjun didn't return this time, and Yun Lian didn't wait, she got up.

The originally good mood was disrupted by Luo Anjun's interruption, Yun Lian looked in the mirror and remembered that he still had to meet Xia Zhixing today.

As if she hadn't seen Xia Zhixing for a long time, Yun Lian looked at herself in the mirror, as if she saw the panic and tension in her eyes.

Inviting people to a thank-you meal on the grounds of being drunk, Yun Lian felt that he could really do it.

This can all be imagined.

After washing up, Xiao Xiao came, holding fresh vegetables and meat in her hands.

Yun Lian waved at her: "Xiao Xiao."

Xiao Xiao thought that Yun Lian was on the menu, and when he walked towards Yun Lian, he was still reporting the name of the dish: "Sister Yun, today I'm eating fish-flavored shredded pork..."

Yun Lian interrupted her, and said with a smile, "Am I a foodie? Just report the name of the dish here without saying a word."

Standing in front of her, Xiao Xiao patted the back of her head helplessly: "Then..."

"Did you never know who my wife is?" Yun Lian thought for a moment.

Even if Xiao Xiao had met Xia Zhixing before, and still said "Teacher Xia", Xiao Xiao didn't know that Xia Zhixing was her hidden wife.

"Yes."

Yun Lian cleared his throat, and took the mobile phone aside: "Well, I'll let her come to my place for dinner tonight, and you can work hard."

Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up: "Sister Yun, do you want to cook a lot?"

Xiao Xiao likes cooking very much, and Yun Lian knows this.

Yun Lian smiled slightly: "Let me see if she is willing to come. If she is willing, ask her what she likes to eat. If you can do it, do it."

"it is good."

Yun Lian put the script on the sofa in the drawer under the coffee table. She stared at her phone, but didn't immediately send Xia Zhixing a WeChat message.

She is struggling, is it better to make a phone call?

Xiao Xiao went to put vegetables in front of the refrigerator, Yun Lian looked around the living room, finally struggled a little, walked to the balcony swing and sat down.

It was also here that he called Xia Zhixing on the night of drinking.

This time it took about ten seconds before Xia Zhixing's voice sounded from the other end: "Hello?"

Yun Lian lowered her eyelids, her other free hand clasped the doll on the swing: "Well, today..."

Before she finished speaking, Xia Zhixing said "hmm", "I know, I'm free tonight."

Yun Lian breathed a sigh of relief. Now that she heard Xia Zhixing's voice, she wanted to clench her fists inexplicably.

"Do you want to eat outside?" Yun Lian didn't wait for Xia Zhixing to answer, "Do you remember Xiao Xiao you saw last time? She is my assistant, but I think she is more suitable to be a chef in a restaurant. The meal was delicious."

"I come."

Yun Lian was taken aback for a moment, then realized: "Oh, oh, then, then I'll send you the address."

Xia Zhixing smiled softly again, and Yun Lian felt that feather floated to his heart again.

"Okay." Xia Zhixing's voice sank slightly, with a very formal look, "Is six o'clock in the evening okay?"

"of course can."

"Yun Lian." Xia Zhixing called her name again.

Yun Lian was stunned: "What's wrong?"

"You just stuttered a little bit."

When Xia Zhixing said this, Yun Lian's face instantly looked like a steamed crab. She almost jumped, but in the end she could only thump the doll in her hand: "No, did you hear wrong?"

"Yes."

Yun Lian snorted softly: "I won't tell you anymore, I'm off to work."

"See you tonight." Xia Zhixing said softly.

Yun Lian didn't reply, so he hung up the phone hastily.

She was also in such a hurry on the night of drinking, but the essence of the two things was different.

Confused that time, sober this time.

Xiao Xiao put the things away, came over and asked, "Sister Yun, what does she like to eat?"

"Ah, this." Yun Lian held the phone, "She said to send me a WeChat message."

Actually she forgot to ask.

My brain suddenly short-circuited.

"Sister Yun." Xiao Xiao asked again, "Is it too hot?"

"Your face is a little red."

Good guy.

Yun Lian had never been told this in person before.

"Really?" Yun Lian raised his hand and touched his face, showing off his acting skills, "Hey, really, let's turn the temperature of the air conditioner down."

"Ok."

Xiao Xiao did not doubt that he was there, walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up the remote control to lower the temperature of the air conditioner, and picked up the fruit knife on the table to cut fruit for Yun Lian.

Yun Lian's throat was a little dry.

Lying is really hard.

The phone screen lit up, and it was a message from Xia Zhixing: [Address? ] Yun Lian then sent her the address, and at the end asked if there was anything she liked to eat.

Xia Zhixing didn't say "whatever you want", but reported two dishes he liked, Yun Lian turned to talk to Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao said there was no problem at all.

But it's only eleven o'clock now, and there are still several hours before six o'clock in the evening.

Yun Lian felt that it was inappropriate for him and Xia Zhixing to continue talking like this, so he simply got off the swing, picked up the script and read it.

It's just that he couldn't concentrate as well as before, Yun Lian got used to it for a while before he reached the previous state.

In this way, time seems to pass much faster.

Lunch, nap.

After Yun Lian got up, she was still sitting in front of the dressing table. After all, tonight was also a thank you meal, which was more formal, and she wanted to put on some makeup.

But Xiao Xiao asked from the side: "Sister Yun, aren't you tired of removing makeup?"

With just such a question, Yun Lian left from the dressing table.

I'm tired of removing makeup, so I don't wear makeup.

Anyway, it's not like she can't see people without makeup.

Seeing the time getting closer, Yun Lian felt that his breathing was becoming more and more irregular.

Xiao Xiao went to the supermarket in the afternoon, bought a lot of ingredients and came back. She has been in the kitchen since five o'clock, except for bringing the dishes to the table, she basically didn't come out at other times.

Yun Lian was left alone in the living room to count the time.

But even if Xiao Xiao was in front of her, Xiao Xiao couldn't understand her.

Yun Lian couldn't understand it herself, but after thinking about it for a while, she felt that the reason for her nervousness this time was because she was crazy about drinking.

Even though Xia Zhixing said that she was not forced to listen, let her not feel ashamed.

But in Yun Lian's heart, she still felt that this behavior made her feel embarrassed.

It's not good to call anyone, but Xia Zhixing.

When the time came to 55:[-], the phone that Yun Lian was holding rang.

She was slightly startled, then swallowed, and answered Xia Zhixing's call.

"Hey?"

"I'll be there just around the corner."

Yun Lian said "ah", "Do you need me to pick you up?"

"Need not."

"I can find it."

"Ok."

The call ended, and Yun Lian patted his heart.

Xiao Xiao just came out with a newly prepared dish: "Sister Yun, is that young lady coming?"

"Yes."

Xiao Xiao looked a little excited: "Okay, I'll cook another vegetarian dish!"

"it is good."

At six o'clock, the doorbell rang.

Yun Lian was surprised.

So punctual.

Say six o'clock is six o'clock.

She stood up, straightened her clothes, and shouted towards the door: "Here we come."

She walked to the entrance, and after some psychological counseling, she opened the door with a smile: "Hello..."

The word "punctual" didn't come out, turned a corner, and changed to: "Why are you here?"

It was not Xia Zhixing who appeared in front of him, but Luo Anjun who was rejected today.

There were teardrops on Luo Anjun's eyelashes, and the tip of his nose was also a little red: "Lian Lian..."

She seemed a little broken, before Yun Lian could react, she stepped forward and hugged Yun Lian: "I'm sorry, can you give me a hug?"

Yun Lian froze, opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, he saw Xia Zhixing appear in front of his eyes.
