Liang Shi: "?"
Why is it different from what I imagined?
Liang Shi gave Zhao Xuning a look, wondering how she had offended the other party.
Six years of dating, and they've only been broken up for a short time?
It was clear that every time they met, there was affection in their eyes. In every corner where no one else could see, Shen Hui's gaze towards Zhao Xuning was filled with longing.
Liang Shi had met with them before. What misunderstanding could prevent them from sitting down and talking it out?
Liang Shi decided to make another effort for them. "Zhao Xuning is so good, it would be a real shame if you didn't want her. She's a high-class beauty outside, but she's incredibly gentle at home."
Shen Hui: "Oh, I've had everything you have now. What are you showing off?"
Liang Shi: "That is in the past tense, not the present tense, much less the future tense."
“My future doesn’t need Zhao Xuning,” Shen Hui said coldly, then glanced at her watch. “If you want to brag to me about how great Zhao Xuning is, then let’s end this here.”
Zhao Xuning called her: "Chen Hui".
Shen Hui glanced at her, cold and distant, said nothing, and turned to leave, only to see her as soon as she turned around...
Shen Hui suddenly smiled and waved towards the door, "Hi, beautiful."
Xu Qingzhu raised an eyebrow at her, unusually sweet-talking, "Pretty sister."
Liang Shi: "..."
Her body stiffened, and she slowly turned to look at the doorway.
Xu Qingzhu, dressed in casual clothes, stood there, first greeting Shen Hui, and then looking at Liang Shi.
...
An awkward atmosphere hung in the air.
Zhao Xuning also came over, and Xu Qingzhu asked, "Dr. Zhao, are you done? Can you leave now?"
Zhao Xuning nodded: "Okay, let's go."
"Pretty sister," Xu Qingzhu called to Shen Hui, "I'll treat you to breakfast."
Shen Hui looked at her, then at Liang Shi, and nodded: "That's fine too."
Liang Shi & Zhao Xuning: "..."
For a moment, Liang Shi wanted to disappear into the ground. On the way to the breakfast shop, Liang Shi quietly asked Xu Qingzhu, "When did you arrive?"
Xu Qingzhu chuckled: "When you were telling Dr. Shen how happy you were with Dr. Zhao."
Liang Shi: "..."
This is probably the most valuable data ever collected from a large-scale human suicide scene.
Liang Shi still held a sliver of hope, "Then why didn't you call me?"
Xu Qingzhu chuckled, "Teacher Liang acted so earnestly, I was completely captivated."
Liang Shi: "..."
"I just wanted to set Zhao Xuning up with his ex-girlfriend," Liang Shite explained sincerely. "I really tried my best."
"Yes, I tried." Xu Qingzhu patted her on the shoulder. "I tried my best to deliver the worst acting performance of my life."
Liang Shi: "..."
Xu Qingzhu smiled, "Dr. Zhao must be thinking of taking a knife to kill people and silence them right now."
From Xu Qingzhu's tone, Liang Shi not only detected sarcasm but also gloating.
Liang Shi tried to turn around and look at Zhao Xuning, only to see Zhao Xuning obediently following behind Shen Hui.
As she looked over, Zhao Xuning looked up and met her gaze, then made a snapping gesture towards her neck.
Liang Shi felt a chill on his neck and moved even closer to Xu Qingzhu.
There was nothing she could do; it was her first time doing something like this.
I hope Zhao Xuning is doing well.
real.
From the bottom of my heart.
Liang Shi felt he was working very hard, but... it seemed... his efforts were a little off-target.
Zhao Xuning can understand, right?
//
The breakfast shop was packed with people, and four people were huddled around a small table.
Xu Qingzhu spoke first: "I've recently fallen in love with xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), you can all have them, right?"
Liang Shi immediately agreed, "I'll have the mushroom filling."
Zhao Xuning and Shen Hui simply nodded, handing over the ordering to Xu Qingzhu.
Xu Qingzhu clearly hadn't been to places like this many times, but she had a confidence that allowed her to command the entire room, giving people the illusion that she had been there many times and knew this kind of place very well.
Seeing this, Shen Hui understood everything.
I was putting on an act for her just now; no wonder every word I said was a provocation.
Tsk.
Shen Hui sneered inwardly. When she sat down, Xu Qingzhu said, "Let me introduce myself first. I am Xu Qingzhu, and this is my wife, Liang Shi. I am an Omega, and I am friends with Dr. Zhao."
The explanation is very clear.
Most people don't introduce their gender when they meet.
Shen Hui looked at Liang Shi, crossed her arms and smiled, "And you, Miss Liang?"
Liang Shi: "..."
She coughed softly and forced herself to introduce herself: "I'm Liang Shi, and this is my wife. I'm an Alpha, and I'm with Zhao Xuning..."
Liang Shi paused, a belated sense of shame welling up inside her, especially under the dual pressure of Shen Hui and Xu Qingzhu's gazes. She chose to apologize first, "I'm sorry, I was just acting. Zhao Xuning and I are just friends, the kind of friends that are as pure as can be."
"I really admire Miss Liang's attitude towards her friends." Shen Hui's voice was calm, revealing no emotion. "To be able to sacrifice to this extent for a friend, that's impressive."
Liang Shi: "..."
She felt that Shen Hui was cursing, but she had no evidence.
Moreover, this sentence is very similar to Xu Qingzhu's style, and it would not feel out of place if Xu Qingzhu said it.
"It's because it seems like there's still a little spark between you two," Liang Shi explained, "so I wanted to give it a push."
Shen Hui said coldly, "An illusion."
Liang Shi: "..."
Zhao Xuning sat to the side without saying a word.
This ordinary morning was the first time Zhao Xuning and Shen Hui had breakfast together in three hundred days.
Liang Shi and Xu Qingzhu sat opposite them. The breakfast shop smelled of porridge, and steam rose into the air. People came and went, chatting and laughing. The four of them ate their meal in peace.
Shen Hui finished eating first, and Zhao Xuning frowned beside her, "You only ate this little bit?"
"I'm not hungry," Shen Hui replied.
Zhao Xuning pursed her lips and placed another one on her plate.
As Shen Hui looked over, Zhao Xuning whispered, "Shen Hui, the last one."
This sentence brought back memories of when they were in college. Neither Zhao Xuning nor she knew how to cook, and neither of them were diligent enough to eat breakfast every day.
If she stayed up late the night before, or if Zhao Xuning bullied her badly, Shen Hui would definitely be hungry the next morning.
When they first got together, Shen Hui said she wanted to eat breakfast, but Zhao Xuning would always hug her and do it again. The two of them always seemed to have endless energy in that room.
After finishing, Zhao Xuning wanted to hold her while she slept, saying that they would eat after she woke up.
Anyway, she never gets to eat breakfast.
Then one time, she did that again, and Shen Hui cried from hunger.
While Zhao Xuning was asleep, she felt tears falling on her face. She wiped them away and found that it was Shen Hui crying.
His voice was hoarse from just waking up. He held her in his arms, kissed her face, and gently stroked her waist. He asked her softly, "Wife, why are you crying?"
Shen Hui wouldn't let her hug or kiss her, and sobbed, "I'm hungry."
Zhao Xuning said, "If you're hungry, just order some food."
"I want to eat dumplings from the No. 7 canteen," Shen Hui said.
Zhao Xuning: "..."
The cafeteria does not deliver meals to customers.
Zhao Xuning was so lazy back then; he had no desire to get out of bed and go to the cafeteria to buy food.
But Shen Hui's tears seemed endless; she insisted on having dumplings from the Seventh Canteen, and wouldn't accept anything else.
Zhao Xuning, growing impatient, snapped at her, "Why are you being so dramatic?"
Shen Hui was stunned.
A few seconds later, Shen Hui got up and dressed, her body covered in marks from Zhao Xuning's antics, especially on her shoulders and back.
Shen Hui often said that Zhao Xuning was like a dog, always biting and nibbling in bed, but her tongue was indeed very useful, as flexible as a snake.
Shen Hui was also coquettish in bed, but Zhao Xuning was willing to serve her then.
Zhao Xuning was too lazy to cater to his usual fussiness.
So Shen Hui got up and dressed, and Zhao Xuning asked her where she was going.
Shen Hui didn't argue with her, but just said in a low voice, "Go buy dumplings."
But she was exhausted from the night's activities, and Zhao Xuning had a severe hangover from the previous night, making her much hungover than before. As a result, Shen Hui's hunger was also much greater than before.
She couldn't bear it anymore; she was so hungry that she cried because she felt wronged.
