Tong Lele looked around and saw a slender man in a gray shirt standing at the table not far behind them.
The light in the restaurant was dim, and his face was hidden in the shadows. Tong Lele couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly for a while, but first noticed his white hair. The hair is cut neatly, and the temples are especially neatly trimmed.
As the man stepped out of the shadows, Tong Lele immediately saw a pair of eyes shining brightly in the dim light. She looked at his face carefully and said in surprise: "Are you Bai Zhouyu?"
"Tong Lele?" The white-haired man seemed to recognize her at the same time.
"You..." Tong Lele said in shock, "Your hair? Why is it all white?"
Bai Zhouyu lowered his head and sneered. Before he could explain, Hua Ling sneered: "There are some good results for those who make money."
Hearing her sarcasm, Bai Zhouyu was not angry, but looked at Hualing gently and said, "It's getting late, let's go home."
"Who wants to go home with you?" Hua Ling stood up from his chair and glared at Bai Zhouyu, "Everyone goes back to his home."
After saying that, Hualin lowered his head and raised his chin at Tong Lele: "I have your phone number, let's talk another day."
Tong Lele didn't know what happened, so she stood up subconsciously: "Oh, okay, I'll call you if you need anything."
Hualing walked quickly outside the restaurant without even looking at Bai Zhouyu.
Bai Zhouyu smiled awkwardly at Tong Lele and pointed in the direction of Hualing's departure. Tong Lele nodded knowingly, and Bai Zhouyu hurriedly chased Hualing.
Just when Hualin was about to reach the door of the restaurant, she heard footsteps coming from behind. She turned around suddenly, her whole body was like a fried hen, her eyes were wide open, her eyebrows were raised, and her face was filled with emotion. She looked a bit ferocious, and couldn't help but startled Tong Lele, who was looking at her not far behind.
"I'm warning you, stay away from me." Hualing threatened sternly, "If you dare to follow me again, I will call the police to arrest you."
Bai Zhouyu still looked unhurried and unannounced, but his tone became extremely soft: "You can't."
Hualin snorted coldly, took out his phone and pressed the 1 button twice in a row.
Seeing that Hualing was serious, Bai Zhouyu hurriedly waved his hand to stop him and said, "Okay, I won't follow you anymore, I promise."
Hualing's finger stopped on the 0 key and stared at Bai Zhouyu. Bai Zhouyu didn't want to anger him, so he took a few steps back: "Then I'll wait until you get home before I go back."
Hua Ling snorted angrily, slammed the door and left, but bumped into Dong Qiangqiang who had just entered the restaurant.
Just as Dong Qiangqiang was about to speak, he saw the angry Hua Ling bumping into him. He was startled: "Hey, you? Have you finished talking to Lele?"
Hua Ling didn't seem to hear his question and rushed to the corner of the street like a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, her figure disappeared around the corner.
"What a weirdo." Dong Qiangqiang shook his head helplessly.
Bai Zhouyu silently watched Hualin's figure in the restaurant. When he could no longer see anything from the French windows of the restaurant, he moved towards the door, as if he wanted to chase him out.
The moment his finger touched the doorknob, he heard someone behind him say: "Bai Zhouyu, can we talk?"
Bai Zhouyu turned his head and saw that it was Tong Lele who was speaking.
He looked outside anxiously and then at Tong Lele, looking very embarrassed.
"Just a few words, it won't take you long." Tong Lele pointed to his table and said, "It's about Hualing."
Hearing what Tong Lele said, Bai Zhouyu was slightly surprised: "What's wrong with Hualing?"
Tong Lele had already sat back on the chair. Bai Zhouyu was hesitating when a person strode past him behind him and walked towards Tong Lele. As he walked, he said, "Lele, do you know who I just saw?"
Tong Lele did not answer Dong Qiangqiang's words, but said behind him: "Sit down."
Dong Qiangqiang was stunned: "Oh, okay."
When he sat on his chair, unexpectedly, another person suddenly sat down next to him. Dong Qiangqiang turned his head and saw a white-haired Asian face.
"Who are you looking for?" Dong Qiangqiang asked.
"I am Hualing's husband, and my name is Bai Zhouyu." Bai Zhouyu extended his hand in a friendly manner, "I know Tong Lele, but I have never met you before."
Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but feel strange: Tong Lele had just finished chatting with the woman, why did the man come again? Could it be that she has started to act like a close eldest sister?
"Oh, hello, Dong Qiangqiang." At this time, he was already feeling hungry. After being polite to Bai Zhouyu for a while, he continued to eat the steak on his plate, but the steak was already a little cold.
"Waiter," Dong Qiangqiang raised the plate with the steak, "please help us heat it up. It will only take 2 minutes. Thank you."
"You just said something happened to Hualing?" Bai Zhouyu hesitated, "What's the matter?"
"Can I ask you a question first?" Tong Lele said cautiously, "If you find it inconvenient, you don't have to answer."
"Okay." Bai Zhouyu thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"Are you and Hualin... having any conflicts?" Tong Lele felt it was embarrassing and uncomfortable to ask someone directly whether they wanted a divorce. After all, this was their private matter and she couldn't get involved.
"Well, a contradiction?" Bai Zhouyu didn't sound surprised at all, "What are you referring to specifically?"
"So, do you really have a conflict?" Observing Bai Zhouyu's micro-expression, Tong Lele couldn't help but believe what Hualing just described to her.
"I don't quite understand what you mean," Bai Zhouyu's expression didn't look like he was pretending to be confused or lying. "Can you make it clearer?"
"You guys," Tong Lele hesitated for a moment and finally summoned up the courage, "do you want a divorce?"
Before Bai Zhouyu could react, Dong Qiangqiang had already sprayed a mouthful of water onto the table.
She has indeed become a close friend.
Bai Zhouyu stared blankly at the table of scraps, his face turned ugly, and after a long while he slowly asked: "Is this what Hualing told you?"
Tong Lele nodded heavily.
"What else did she say?" Bai Zhouyu looked out the window. In the blue-gray night sky, there were stars twinkling in the gaps between large groups of off-white and dark red clouds. "Are they saying that I am addicted to gambling and refuse to change despite repeated admonitions? That's why she was so sad that she was forced to follow him. I divorce?"
Tong Lele looked at Bai Zhouyu in surprise, and began to suspect that he had just eavesdropped on her conversation with Hualing.
"Since you know she wants a divorce, why don't you agree? Is it just because of money?" Tong Lele asked.
Hearing this, Bai Zhouyu suddenly smiled. He raised his hand to pour himself a glass of beer, raised his neck, and drank it in one gulp.
Dong Qiangqiang and Tong Lele looked at the man in front of them suspiciously, believing in their hearts that this man didn't look normal.
But when he put down his wine glass, Tong Lele and Dong Qiangqiang were surprised to see sparkling lights hanging from the corners of Bai Zhouyu's eyes.
Tears?
Dong Qiangqiang and Tong Lele looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
