Tong Yifei's back was facing Ling Jie the entire night. She didn't whisper to Ling Jie at night like she did in the past, chatting about the latest entertainment news. Ling Jie was already used to such days, but he really couldn't get used to Tong Yifei's sudden change.
When he woke up in the morning, Tong Yifei also woke up. She did not hug him like before. She walked past him coldly without making a sound.
Ling Jie thought that she was going to cook and said to her back. "Tong Yifei, don't cook in the morning. I'm not eating.”
"Suit yourself. If you don't want to eat, my son will.”Tong Yifei did not turn around.
Ling Jie lowered his head and didn't say anything. He packed his things and went out. He was still waiting for the bus at the bus stop. He looked at the cars coming and going on the road, and his heart was filled with despair. Ling Jie's heart was restless throughout the day as he kept staring at his phone.
Bai Ye laughed at him." You've been staring at your phone all day. Have you abandoned your wife?”
"Go to hell, you're spouting nonsense." Ling Jie was annoyed." Don't bother me. I'm so annoyed now."”
"Hey, tell me. Did you quarrel with your wife?”White Night asked.
"Hey, Bai Ye, why do women look the same before marriage and then different after marriage?”Ling Jie asked White Night, scratching his head in confusion. "Tell me, why are the feelings I had before we got married gone now?”
"This is a mysterious question.”Bai Ye sat down on Ling Jie's desk. "Look, it's said that a person's personality is related to her living environment.”
Ling Jie's heart lit up. He suddenly felt that there were times when Bai Ye's words were reliable. He changed his posture and sat down again, asking Bai Ye seriously. "Then tell me, how big will the impact be?”
"It's hard to say." White Night said. "Look at how many newlyweds get worn out in the first year of marriage.”He sighed and patted Ling Jie's shoulder with a regretful look." Bro, everything's fine. Don't let yourself be worn out in the first year."”
"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory." Ling Jie was unhappy when he heard White Night say this. He felt a little uneasy.
Just as he finished speaking, the phone rang. Bai Ye's mouth was knotted to both sides as he pointed at the phone. "Speak of the devil. Your wife is here to inspect the work.”
After saying that, he slipped back to his seat.
Ling Jie looked at the ringing phone and lowered his head, not knowing what to do. The phone kept ringing. Ling Jie held the phone in his hand and was worried. Tong Yifei wouldn't give up until she got what she wanted, so she picked up the phone. Tong Yifei's voice wasn't as cheerful as usual.
"My mom called us back for dinner today.”Tong Yifei didn't give Ling Jie a chance to speak. "Come over directly after work. I'll wait for you downstairs.”
"Hey, I'm not sure. Tong Yifei." Ling Jie called out, but he heard a toot sound coming from the phone.
He took out his phone and looked at the call log that was less than a minute old. Tong Yifei actually dared to hang up on him. If it was in the past, he wouldn't have picked up the call. In the past, when Tong Yifei called him, it would take an hour. Every month, she would pay a lot of phone bills. Ling Jie thought that if he and Tong Yifei had spoken less nonsense at that time, the phone bill would have been lower, and he would have been able to squeeze out some money to buy a house.
If he had said less at that time, he wouldn't have nothing to say now.
If he had spoken less back then, he wouldn't be so eager to talk to Tong Yifei now.
After work, Ling Jie took a few buses to reach Tong Yifei's house. When he arrived, it was already very late. When Ling Jie reached Tong Yifei's house, he looked up at the balcony. He used to look at Tong Yifei like this too. Back then, they didn't dare to let their family know that they were together. Every time they sent Tong Yifei home, Tong Yifei would lean on the window sill to look at him, talk to him on the phone, or go upstairs alone, talking to him on the phone about looking at the moon together.
At that time, the romantic life was always happy, but now it had been moved away.
Ling Jie walked a few rounds around the Tong family's building before Tong Yifei walked over with her bag.
Tong Yifei walked to Ling Jie's side. Ling Jie followed her and spoke to her, but Tong Yifei spoke first. "Ling Jie. If you don't want my parents to know about us, just have a good meal with me and don't talk to me.”
"Hey, I'm not sure. Tong Yifei." Ling Jie pulled Tong Yifei back. "I shouldn't have argued with you last night. I'm sorry. Don't be angry.”
Tong Yifei shook off Ling Jie's hand and said. "I understand. Let's go back and talk about this.”
"But…" Ling Jie was about to say something, but Tong Yifei had already left.
He followed her without saying a word. He knew Tong Yifei's temper. She was very stubborn. If she ignored him, she would not waver no matter how much he begged her. It had happened before. Ling Jie simply ignored Tong Yifei, waiting for her to pass the threshold in her heart. Tong Yifei also came over to talk to him.
Old Tong opened the door when she entered. Tong Yifei hadn't been back for more than half a month, and Old Tong called out to her when he saw her. "Wretched girl. If we didn't call you, you would have probably forgotten about us.”
"Of course not." Tong Yifei hugged Old Tong's hand.
Old Tong greeted Ling Jie when he saw him standing at the door. "Lingjie, come in quickly. When your mom heard that you were coming back today, she bought a lot of vegetables. She's just like that. She says whatever she wants, but she loves you more than anyone else.”
"I know." Tong Yifei said. When they reached the living room, they heard Mother Tong calling out to Tong Yifei from the kitchen. She followed them out without even putting down the things in her hands.
When he saw Tong Yifei, he was both surprised and happy. He circled around Tong Yifei and said after a long time," Yo, Tong Yifei, why don't you grow taller but look thinner? Did you not rest well?"”
Tong Yifei was very happy. She hadn't been home for a long time, and she felt that the house was filled with warmth. "No way. You've gained weight, but you don't allow me to lose weight. It'd be bad if I became fat after giving birth.”
Mrs. Tong pointed at her head and scolded," What do you know? If you're pregnant and your health isn't good, the child's development will also be affected.”After she finished speaking, she went to talk to Ling Jie and gave him some guidance. "And you, Lingjie. Didn't I tell you to take good care of Tong Yifei before she left? Why didn't you take it to heart? This is your child, your idea. Really."
After saying that, someone continued to mumble," Why don't young people nowadays pay attention to these things? It's like they forget to eat when they start working. Old Tong, don't you think so? Even if you're busy, you have to eat on time.”Mother Tong nagged at Old Tong. Old Tong's eyes were fixed on the bridge of his nose as he nodded in agreement. "Yes, you're right." He turned around and instructed Tong Yifei. "Did you hear that? Lingjie is not having it easy. You have to remember to take good care of him.”
Tong Yifei was stunned for a moment before she nodded stiffly. She glanced at Ling Jie from the corner of her eye before she forced a fake smile. "I understand."
After saying that, Tong Yifei smelled a strange smell. She took a whiff and asked," What's that smell?"”
At this moment, Mother Tong cried out in surprise. "My vegetables are burnt."
Mother Tong ran away nervously. Old Tong was giggling on the sofa with his glasses on. He gestured for Tong Yifei and Ling Jie to sit down and went to pour them some water. Then, he turned on the TV and watched the news broadcast. He chatted with Tong Yifei and Ling Jie about daily life and national affairs.
Old Tong had always maintained this habit. Although Tong Yifei was familiar with this habit, she was really not interested in national affairs. Who, who, who visited China, who, who, who died today, the country's leader went to the funeral ceremony, which country had a disaster. In her opinion, these were all small things that happened all over the world that were important to others but had no effect on her.
She left Ling Jie and went to the kitchen. As expected, Mother Tong was busy cooking. She bought a lot of vegetables and prepared a lot of things. Tong Yifei leaned against the door and looked at the dishes." Mom, do I get to eat so much delicious food every time I come back?"”
"Isn't that nonsense? You don't come back often, so how much can your father and I eat?”Mother Tong lowered her head to cut her own vegetables while raising her head to talk to Tong Yifei. "Why do you ask that? It feels like I didn't eat anything good at the Ling family.”
"That's not it. It's just that no matter how good it is, it's not the best home.”replied Tong Yifei.
"Alright, I know what you're thinking.”Mother Tong dragged out her tone. "Don't forget that I raised you up. Your father can't hide anything from me. It would be strange if you had a good life in Lingjie. I was afraid that you would be bullied, so I asked Lingjie to bring you back.”
Tong Yifei's heart trembled when she heard this. If Lingjie's mother could talk to her like this, she would be willing to do anything for her, even if she had to do everything for her. However, Lingjie's mother, Yongyun, would never treat her like this." The older the wiser."”
"Of course." Mother Tong straightened her back." I'm exhausted."”She didn't know why, but her gaze fell on Tong Yifei's hand. She saw that Tong Yifei's hand was red and swollen, and she asked. "What happened to your hand?"
Tong Yifei lowered her head to look at her hand, which she had hidden behind her back. "It's nothing. I injured myself while cooking.”
Mother Tong didn't believe it. She put down the knife in her hand and wiped her hands on her apron. She dragged Tong Yifei's hand over and saw her swollen hand. It was a shocking sight. Mother Tong's gaze became unfocused as tears welled up in her eyes. He grabbed Tong Yifei's hand and looked at her without moving his eyes.
There were also knife wounds and rough skin. Tong Yifei's hands were not like this in the past. Her skin was soft and tender.
Her heart ached as she looked at him.
