don't take my blame

Li Xingyu met the defendant's family members, calmed down their emotions, and returned home after nine o'clock in the evening.

He didn't know why he was so tired today, so when he got home, he simply put a bathtub of hot water, and lay down in it to take a bath.

He bought this house with a loan. The area of ​​two bedrooms and one living room is not big, because he didn't have much free time to decorate, so he bought a hardcover house at that time.

Every night when I come home, it is empty.Li Xingyu tried to learn how to cook. He would cook noodles for himself and learned several dishes.But Li Xingyu still had no interest in doing it.

He doesn't have high requirements for what he eats, as long as he has something to fill his stomach, he won't come back to cook alone after get off work every day, and he doesn't bother to spend half a day in the kitchen on weekends just to make a meal for himself.

Essentially, Li Xingyu is a bit lazy.

He hasn't been in a relationship for seven years.

It's not that he resists anything, it's just that he has never met anyone who makes his heart beat, neither male nor female.This may have something to do with his original personality. He habitually keeps a distance from people. He doesn't have any special close friends, and the scope of contact is almost all within the scope of work.

It is impossible to fall in love at first sight, and cut off the conditions for long-term love, so Li Xingyu remains single without deliberately.

Li Xingyu lay in the bathtub, leaning his head against the edge and fell asleep after a while.

However, sleeping here is always restless. After a while, he dreamed that someone seemed to have entered the room. Thinking that he was still lying naked in the bathtub, he struggled to wake up, but he couldn’t open it no matter what. Eye.

After a while, the man walked to the door of the bathroom. He tried to open his eyes and saw that the person standing at the door was Ji Wen.

Then Li Xingyu woke up completely. He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling for a while. After confirming that he was just dreaming, he stood up to light up the water in the bathtub and turned on the hot water in the shower.

Two days later, the time Chen Yang promised Li Xingyu to pick up the car arrived.

Ji Wen finally took the car keys and planned to send them back to Li Xingyu himself.

Chen Yang stood at the door of the garage with a cigarette in his mouth, and patted him on the shoulder, "Go."

Ji Wen threw away the car keys, and he smiled and asked Chen Yang: "Do you think there is something between me and him?"

Chen Yang didn't speak, but squinted at the word "Xingyu" on the signboard of the garage.

That morning Li Xingyu went to the court to submit an indictment for a house sales dispute case. When he left, he met a familiar judge in the civil court and chatted for a while.

When leaving, the phone rang.

Li Xingyu took out his mobile phone, and when he saw the phone number displayed on it, his finger that was about to connect paused for two seconds.

That's Ji Wen's phone number.

Whether it is him or Ji Wen, they have stayed in this city since graduating from university, and their phone number has remained unchanged.

He had deleted Ji Wen's number during the New Year's Eve of the year after they separated, but he still remembered the last four digits of the phone number clearly.

Because it was quite a long time at that time, he dug up the number countless times, hesitating whether to dial it or not.

In the end, he didn't call Ji Wen, and even deleted the call, but the string of numbers left an impression.

He and Ji Wen didn't leave each other's phone numbers when they met that day, but he did leave a number when he repaired the car in Xingyu, so it's not surprising that Ji Wen would know.

After a brief pause, Li Xingyu connected the phone and said, "Hello, who is it?"

"Xing Yu," Ji Wen said in a gentle tone, "Your car has been repaired."

Li Xingyu knew that it was Ji Wen, but he didn't say anything specifically. He just responded, "Oh, yes, I'll pick up the car this afternoon."

Ji Wen said: "No, I'll drive it for you, are you in the court?"

Li Xingyu frowned slightly, "How do you know?"

Ji Wen said frankly: "I originally wanted to find you at the law firm, but they told me that you had gone to the court, so I thought you might need a car, so I drove here for you."

Li Xingyu said, "No need."

Ji Wen told him: "I'm already on my way, and I'll be there soon."

The court was newly built two years ago, and its address is on the outskirts of the city. Although it is not impossible to get a taxi, it is really not convenient to take a taxi back here.

For Li Xingyu, the days without a car were a bit of a torment.

He took his briefcase and walked outside the gate of the court, and looked in the direction from the city. After less than 2 minutes, he saw his white BMW driving from there.

The driver was undoubtedly Ji Wen.

Ji Wen was not driving fast, and stopped suddenly when he was tens of meters away from the gate of the court.Then Li Xingyu saw Ji Wen open the car door and get out of the car, and walked to the side of the road to help a big sister who was pulling goods on a tricycle pick up a bag of goods that fell on the ground.

The eldest sister thanked him.

Ji Wen waved his hand with a smile, got in the car and continued to drive towards this side.

Stopping the car beside Li Xingyu, Ji Wen pressed the window and unlocked the door and said to him, "Get in the car."

Li Xingyu didn't open the door to get into the car. He stood outside the car and looked at Ji Wen quietly for a while, and said, "Ji Wen, don't you think you've crossed the line a bit?"

The smile on Ji Wen's face froze slightly, and he said, "Xingyu?"

Li Xingyu said: "I am very grateful that you delivered the car to me in person, but I think you'd better get my consent to do so."

Ji Wen took a deep breath, with a helpless tone, he turned off the engine and got out of the car, and said to Li Xingyu, "I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully."

He walked up to Li Xingyu and handed the key to him, "Are you still busy at noon?"

Li Xingyu took the key and did not speak.

Ji Wen relaxed his tone, and said to him: "If you have something to do, go first, I'll just take a taxi back."

Li Xingyu squeezed the car keys in his hand.

Ji Wen said again: "I'm really sorry, there's no need to be angry about a small matter."

Li Xingyu went around the car and sat in the driver's seat, started the car but didn't leave immediately, he held the steering wheel with both hands, turned his head after a while and shouted to Ji Wen outside: "Get in the car, I'll take you back."

The moment he turned his head, Li Xingyu caught the flashing expression on Ji Wen's face.At that time, Ji Wen was not looking at him, but turned his head to look into the distance, his eyes were a little tired, but the moment he heard Li Xingyu calling him, he turned around and smiled at Li Xingyu, saying: "No, you are busy." .”

Li Xingyu said: "I'm not being polite, get in the car."

Only then did Ji Wen open the car door and sit in, saying, "Thank you."

During this short period of time, the conversation between Ji Wen and Li Xingyu was full of "sorry" and "thank you".

After saying these words, the two fell silent, not knowing what topic to start with next.

Ji Wen asked Li Xingyu: "Have you eaten?"

Li Xingyu said, "Not yet."

Ji Wen's next question was a little cautious, "Shall we have lunch together?"

Li Xingyu's hand involuntarily clenched the steering wheel. He wanted to refuse, but the excuse for refusal came casually, "I have an appointment with a client to discuss the case. Where are you going, I will see you off first."

Ji Wen didn't force it, he said, "Okay, I'll go back to the car dealership."

Li Xingyu turned on the radio in the car.

The radio was broadcasting traffic information, saying that there was a car accident on a section of the road into the city, and the road was very congested, and this section happened to be the road they were going to take.

Hearing the news, Li Xingyu didn't continue driving, but made a detour at the next intersection ahead of time.It's just that there is a straight road into the city, and it is the shortest way to go from this road. If you make a detour, it will inevitably delay a lot of time.

Ji Wen knew the way, he sat quietly and didn't say anything.

It's just that Li Xingyu glanced at the time. It was almost one o'clock at noon, and he began to feel hungry. It would take about an hour to go back to the city like this, and he was afraid that his stomach would not feel good.

So in the end Li Xingyu stopped the car near a small Chinese restaurant on the side of the road, and he asked Ji Wen, "Do you want to eat first?"

Ji Wen looked at him, smiled and said, "It's all good."

After stopping the car and entering the restaurant, Li Xingyu went directly to the boss to order.

Ji Wen went to wash his hands first, and when he came out, he saw Li Xingyu sitting down in front of the table, apologized to him, and then went outside to light a cigarette.

When he was studying, he was used to carrying cigarettes with him, mainly for the purpose of giving out cigarettes to others. Later, he started to smoke when he was stressed, and he became addicted to cigarettes without knowing it.

Li Xingyu looked at the back of Ji Wen squatting outside the small restaurant smoking a cigarette. He knew that Ji Wen had been working hard for so many years, and it was not easy to achieve today's results.

After smoking and sitting down, the boss has already served the cooked food.

Ji Wen habitually took out two pairs of chopsticks, washed them with tea and handed a pair to Li Xingyu.

When Li Xingyu took it over, he said to him, "Thank you."

Ji Wen said with a smile: "You are welcome, let's eat."

During the meal, Li Xingyu asked Ji Wen: "Is your mother okay?"

Ji Wen looked a little bitter, "My mother passed away."

Li Xingyu was very surprised.

Ji Wen said: "Pancreatic cancer, it goes fast and is very painful."

Li Xingyu recalled Ji Wen's mother as a kind and gentle woman. Compared with the strong Yan Suling, Li Xingyu hoped that her mother could be like that.

Up to now, Li Xingyu can still remember Ji Wen's mother's smile, but she didn't expect her to be gone.

Mingming Jiwen has now made money, and the family conditions have improved, allowing her mother to relax. Her younger siblings are all studying hard, but Fu did not expect that people would leave the world in such a painful way.

Li Xingyu felt a little sad, he said, "I'm sorry."

Ji Wen looked at him and shook his head.
