After rebirth, abstinent ex-husband can't move anymore

After Shen Yizhou returned to the office in the morning, he remembered Xia Qingyuan telling him to go home early, and realized belatedly that it was his birthday today.

So, I felt very motivated at the end of the day and was somewhat looking forward to the arrival of the evening.

However, when he returned home and looked at the decorated courtyard full of festive atmosphere, he suspected that he had gone to the wrong place.

As soon as he entered the living room, cheers came: "Happy birthday!"

Shen Yizhou: "..."

Xia Qingyuan stood in the middle of the crowd with some worry: "Yi Zhou, happy birthday."

Shen Yilin wore a hula hat that Ling Lin had dressed up for him, which looked like an African savage. He led Tao Nianxi, who was also dressed in the same style, and jumped out: "Hoho, big brother, happy birthday!"

For a moment, Shen Yizhou wanted to run away.

He quickly reacted, nodded and smiled at everyone: "Thank you everyone."

His eyes fell on a tall figure in the crowd, and he locked his eyes on it without moving.

Qi Jinzhi raised the cup in his hand towards him, his eyes wanton and idle.

Shen Yizhou raised the corners of his lips, half-smiling but not smiling.

Suddenly, sparks flew everywhere.

The interaction between the two was watched by Xia Qingyuan who was standing to the side.

Are these two people making secret glances in front of her now?

Do you think she died?

It must be Qi Jinzhi who took the initiative to hook up with Shen Yizhou. Just now is the best proof of how normal her man is.

With this thought, she stood in front of Qi Jinzhi, smiled at Shen Yizhou and said, "The dishes are ready, shall we prepare to eat?"

As soon as they heard it was about to start, everyone started looking forward to it.

Xia Qingyuan started preparing the evening dishes today in the morning. Aunt Wu and Ling Lin helped in the process. Later, a few people came, all from the courtyard. When they saw it, they invited each other to come together.

People are helping, people are chatting, people are looking after the children, and the aroma of the food in the kitchen is constantly entering the nose, attracting greedy insects everywhere.

Everyone was well-educated, and they all resisted going to the kitchen to lift the lid of the pot.

However, Xia Qingyuan served some of the prepared food and asked the adults to feed the children first.

When the adults who were feeding their children saw their children eating bite after bite, they wanted to pour the contents of the bowl into their own mouths. They were so greedy.

There were a lot of people at home, so Ling Ye went to the house and moved a long table, leaving the children who had eaten enough to sit down.

The table full of dishes was an eye-opener for everyone, some of which they had never seen before even in restaurants.

Placed in the middle is a large pot of beef offal brought back from the store, as well as red dates, Codonopsis, mushrooms and chicken soup with a layer of yellow oil.

In addition, there are Pu'er tea braised pork, garlic pork ribs, lamb stir-fried with green onion, sweet and sour pork loin, beer duck, lemongrass grilled fish, fried river shrimp with leeks, wrapped tofu, cold water-based poplar, pickled bamboo shoots and water spinach. The staple food is rice and sour. Spicy rice noodles...spicy or non-spicy, Sichuan style or Cantonese style, catering to everyone's taste.

The children were playing in the yard, and the adults were eating and chatting inside. It was so lively.

There was a table full of dishes, and everyone almost had to hold on to the wall to walk away after eating.

After the meal, the women helped clean up, while the men looked after the children and chatted.

Because there were women and children, the men were very conscious not to smoke. They all took this opportunity to get acquainted with people they had come into contact with at work.

Compared to Shen Yizhou who was sitting in the middle seat, Qi Jinzhi had already gone out to the courtyard and was smoking alone.

He leaned on the fence, next to the clematis planted by Xia Qingyuan, which was now climbing the fence and blooming with the last flowers of the year.

He longs for excitement but doesn't like excitement.

Because he knew in his heart that even the excitement that was close at hand would never belong to him no matter how close he got.

Just like when he was a child, during the Chinese New Year, when he saw other children's parents gathering together and laughing and laughing, he would quietly lie down at the window and peek with envy.

When Zhou Mo found out, he would grab his ears and scold him: "Is that what you can see? Are you envious of others? If you have the ability, ask your dad to come see you! Do you know that your dad doesn't want you?"

Know!"

Qi Jinzhi was young and didn't understand why he couldn't even visit other people's homes to celebrate the New Year, but he bit his lip and refused to shed a tear despite being slapped on his body.

Listening to the laughter in the room, Qi Jinzhi felt an inexplicable feeling of dryness in his heart. He put out the cigarette butt and was about to find a reason to leave. When he turned around, he saw Xia Qingyuan coming out of the kitchen.

There were still some water stains on her hands, and she was standing a few meters away looking at him.

The lighting in the courtyard was a bit dim, but the light from the living room made up for this deficiency, exposing her entire face to the light.

The quiet and bright face, the slightly frowned eyebrows, and the worried eyes made his heart calm down in an instant.

Qi Jinzhi's hand inserted into his trouser pocket slowly clenched into a fist, feeling the urge to be desperate.

His toes were pointed in the direction of Xia Qingyuan. As soon as he took a step, Feng Wan came out to the door and called her: "Qingyuan, the Xiaoji Decoction seems to be better. Why don't you come and take a look?"

Xia Qingyuan was startled and quickly responded: "Okay, here we come."

When Xia Qingyuan just came out, she saw Qi Jin smoking alone, closing his eyelids and looking in the direction of the living room.

She also looked towards the living room and saw Shen Yizhou at a glance.

His heart skipped a beat, wondering what he was thinking about Shen Yizhou again.

Before he could speak, Feng Wan stopped him, and Qi Jinzhi could only nod his head and go into the house.

Qi Jinzhi looked at Xia Qingyuan's graceful back, hesitated to speak, and finally did not stop her.

He laughed at himself, lost interest in staying any longer, went in, said hello and left.

He walked alone on the path of the compound, the lights dim, which seemed to better conceal his loneliness.

He looked at one place and paused.

In front of Qi Jinzhi, Xie Ziyi was standing.

She let her hair hang loose and wore a white dress. If Qi Jinzhi hadn't been mentally strong enough, she might have been shocked.

Under the illumination of lights and moonlight, it seemed that there were tears on her face.

Qi Jinzhi didn't intend to ignore her.

He lowered his eyelashes and walked towards her without looking away.

Just when he was about to surpass her, Xie Ziyi spoke: "Isn't it uncomfortable to be left out?"

Qi Jinzhi only stopped for a second and continued walking forward.

Xie Ziyi turned around with him and continued: "Isn't it painful to just watch and not be able to take it as your own?"

As she thought, Qi Jinzhi finally stopped after she heard this sentence.

Xie Ziyi looked at his arrogant back, feeling a sense of revenge: "So what if you like her no matter how much you like her? She is already married! You have the ability... hmm!"

A pair of slender and cold hands suddenly pinched her slender neck, making her so uncomfortable that she could not speak, and her throat felt like burning pain.

Qi Jinzhi looked at her with cold eyes: "What other rumors do you want to spread?"
