Zhou Yanjing frowned.
The whole table looked at each other in total silence. No one expected that having a drink today would lead to such a scene.
Zhou Yanjing was upset for a while. He put the cup on the countertop, and the glass and marble made a sound. It was not heavy, but it made people shake uncontrollably.
The fragile glass also cracked a tiny crack.
Zhou Yanjing took his coat and stood up, strode through the crowd of people in the bar, and caught up with Lin Yuxi at the door.
He grabbed her wrist: "Are you angry again?"
"No." Lin Yuxi shook him off and wanted to leave.
"You still said no." Zhou Yanjing held her coat and pulled her back with one hand. His grip on her arm became a little tight, and he stared into her eyes, "Why are you angry with me?"
"Angry at me for revealing his thoughts, or angry at me for making things difficult for him?"
Lin Yuxi frowned and looked at him: "You make things difficult for him and embarrass him, isn't it just because of me? Why are you involving others in our affairs?"
Zhou Yanjing was angry because she defended Tan Yu.
And in the clear-cut camp divisions of "the two of us" and "others", a thin hint of sweetness is tasted.
Then the body seemed to be split in two, half angry and half secretly happy.
"It's not that I want to involve him. Do you think I want him to come between us?"
Zhou Yanjing loosened his grip a little, lowered his head, his thick black eyelashes drooping, "If I weren't afraid that you would be angry, I would have been rude to him."
Lin Yuxi didn't appreciate it: "Then do I still want to thank you?"
"No need." Zhou Yanjing smiled and rubbed her chin with his fingertips, "Just be nicer to me. A little bit."
Lin Yuxi slapped his hand away indifferently.
"You always accuse Tan Yu of interfering between us. Have you ever thought that this was not his intention? If you hadn't defaulted on your debt, we would have been divorced by now."
She pulled her hand back and put it in her coat pocket, not giving him a chance to hold it, and she stepped back and distanced herself.
"Zhou Yanjing, no one in this world can predict your changes."
Zhou Yanjing's expression slowly cooled down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"If we get divorced, he can pursue you openly, is that what you mean?"
The anger that had just been suppressed inside was aroused again by Lin Yuxi's words. His voice became lighter and his tone was a bit sarcastic:
"Why, you think that my rotten husband is in the way, and you want to kick me out to make room for him? You know that he has been secretly in love with you for so many years, and you are so moved that you can't wait to be with him?"
Lin Yuxi was a little annoyed: "I'll say it again, our affairs have nothing to do with him."
"Then what are you doing to him?"
"I didn't target him. I just didn't want him to be targeted by you."
"Implicated?" Zhou Yanjing whispered, "He has been coveting you before I knew it. He has been thinking about you secretly for so many years, and you still feel that you have implicated him? Lin Yuxi, are you stupid?"
"So what? Has he done anything in all these years? I didn't even meet him until a few months ago."
Lin Yuxi didn't want to defend Tan Yu, but between her and Zhou Yanjing, it was never Tan Yu or Jiang Nan who was wrong.
"We have been married for three years. Without him, wouldn't our life be like this?"
The fire all over Zhou Yanjing's body was extinguished silently as if covered with snow, but under the surface snow, the remaining heat could still burn people.
"It's my fault." His voice lowered, he approached Lin Yuxi and held her face in his hands, "We will have many more three years in the future. Lin Yuxi, give me a chance to make it up to you, okay?"
"What's the use of compensation after the fact? I still came here in the same way for those three years. If I have a time machine and can start over, then I can give you a chance."
Lin Yuxi looked at him: "But is there?"
She used some strength to push Zhou Yanjing's hand away.
"When you and Jiang Nan were unclear, I never bothered her, so you don't need to bother Tan Yu."
"Let's just let each other go."
Lin Yuxi walked down the steps and saw an empty taxi parked on the side of the road. She walked over directly, opened the door, and turned around.
"When will you figure it out? Call me and we'll get the divorce certificate."
"We don't have much time, Zhou Yanjing, let's get together and part ways."
The taxi drove away in front of Zhou Yanjing. It was just after nine o'clock, when people came to the bar, and people kept coming and going.
Spring has arrived, the winter cold has not faded away, Zhou Yanjing is standing there in the brightly lit street, without even wearing a coat.
He looked gloomy and cold, but his face was truly outstanding. His facial features were deep and three-dimensional. From his black hair to his flat suit trousers, he looked noble in everything. Young men and women who came and went would take a few glances at him.
A man came out of the bar to smoke. He stood not far away and turned to look at him twice.
The third time, Zhou Yanjing didn't turn his head away and said coldly: "If you don't want your eyeballs to be dug out, just stay away."
The man was startled, cursed and prepared to leave.
Zhou Yanjing turned around again, his brows filled with annoyance: "Come back."
The man looked wary and fearful: "What do you want to do?"
Tan Yu came out of the bar and soon saw Zhou Yanjing.
He had a cigarette between his lips, his tall and tall figure standing by the wall, looking away at the crowded and lively street.
Tan Yu came over and stood side by side with him.
The girl passing by together laughed like a silver bell, and the two men were silent.
They were all men, so Tan Yu could certainly see Zhou Yanjing's possessiveness towards Lin Yuxi.
He didn't know what happened between Zhou Yanjing and Lin Yuxi. In short, the various rumors about them in the past few years didn't sound good.
He also didn't know why Zhou Yanjing suddenly changed his mind, but he thought it was just a man's bad nature.
What is unavailable and lost is always the most attractive.
Does Zhou Yanjing really love Lin Yuxi? Tan Yu doesn't think so.
How many men would never forget Lin Yuxi's stunning beauty. How could he neglect her for so long if he really loved her?
Besides, both of them have already gone through the formalities.
Zhou Yanjing couldn't get used to smoking cheap cigarettes, but it would make him feel upset and cold. Everything he smoked would taste the same.
He lowered his eyes and dusted off the cigarette, and said indifferently: "Just say what you want to say."
"Give me a cigarette?" Tan Yu said.
Zhou Yanjing glanced at him and put down the low-quality cigarettes he had just bought at a high price and the lighter that cost 50 cents each in a small store.
Tan Yu lit the cigarette, took a few puffs, and then said: "Yan Jing, I don't deny my feelings for Yuxi, but I never meant to destroy you. After you married Yuxi, I didn't have any inappropriate thoughts. I also had a few girlfriends.”
"The reason why I got in touch with her during this period is because of Xingchen. I was greedy and used her name to get close to Yuxi. I wanted to stay by her side and be a friend."
"Why are you telling me this? Do you want me to confess to you?" Zhou Yanjing felt even more annoyed and looked slightly sarcastic, "Why, there is a sign on my head saying that I will take this business?"
"That's not what I meant." Tan Yu sighed, "I do feel guilty about you. I'm sorry."
"You admitted that it was easy." Zhou Yanjing pulled his lips and said sarcastically, "I guess there is more to say later."
He is smart enough and perceptive enough.
Tan Yu has always done things in a measured way, but today he still broke his principle.
"Yan Jing, I know that I am not qualified to ask about you and Yuxi's affairs. I just stand as a friend and want to say something for her."
Zhou Yanjing asked bluntly and sharply: "Whose friend is your position?"
"It's the same for you or Yu Xi."
Zhou Yanjing took another puff of cigarette, the smoke blown by the wind covering up the emotion in his eyes.
"you say."
"Yuxi is a very soft-hearted person. She is different from you and me. She is smart, but she does not play tricks. She does not have so many twists and turns. Although sometimes people feel distant, she always treats her sincerely. Treating people. Such people are the easiest to take advantage of and the easiest to have their feelings hurt.”
Tan Yu said, "Yan Jing, I know you. You are not a person without grace. Since you don't love her, why don't you let her go?"
The irritation in his chest was getting worse.
They told him to let it go, let it go... He's not a kite flyer, just fart!
Zhou Yanjing took the cigarette from his lips and broke it in half. The burning ashes ran over his fingertips, and he suddenly smiled amidst the stinging heat.
He couldn't tell whether it was a sneer or a bitter smile. He held the cigarette tightly and said:
"I don't love her? Why don't I love her? I love her so fucking crazy."
