The elevator door slowly closed, and the two of them walked side by side into the house in silence.
Zhou Ze took a step back slightly and closed the door. Only the two of them were left in the huge space.
It was an inexplicably awkward atmosphere, a test of each other's attitudes when they met again after the last quarrel.
They were already very familiar with this feeling, but they couldn't get used to it.
This time it was Zhou Ze who broke the silence first, which meant that he bowed his head first and sued for peace.
"That." Zhou Ze pointed to the direction on the right, turned on the switch next to the door, and carried the other one behind his back: "I put the flowers brought by my sister-in-law in the kitchen. I don't know what to do with them."
"Well, I'll go take a look." As soon as Wang Yi entered the kitchen and saw the flowers, Lin Zhi had already pruned them very well.
As soon as Wang Yi came out, he found a vase from the cabinet, put the flowers in it, carried it to the living room, stood there and looked around, and finally found a satisfactory position to put it in.
Zhou Ze stayed in the living room, craning his head from time to time to see what Wang Yiyi was doing inside.
Hearing the sound of her footsteps coming out, Zhou Ze immediately lowered his head and played with his phone absently. When he walked in front of him, he pretended to have just seen her and raised his head nonchalantly and asked: "Have you eaten?
Do you want something to eat?”
"No, I have work tomorrow morning." Wang Yiyi refused, pulled the box over from the side, put it down on the ground, sat cross-legged on the corner of the carpet, and began to pack his luggage.
"Oh", Zhou Ze sat on the sofa and stopped playing with his mobile phone. He held his head and looked at Wang Yiyi's back.
He couldn't help but sigh, time is such a good thing, it changes everyone and everything. The past years will eventually be gone forever.
Such a picture has also appeared in his mind. In the home they decorated by themselves, just like now, whether it is day or night, they are doing their own things. Occasionally, when they look up, they can see
other side.
They will argue about the distribution of housework, worry about what to eat for three meals, argue about who will wash the dishes after meals, and argue about what music to play on the stereo, but these are the small frictions in daily life.
, will not prevent them from quietly watching a movie together a few minutes later.
Not far away, Zhou Ze's cell phone vibrated continuously, bringing him back to reality from his beautiful imagination.
Wang Yi turned a deaf ear and just walked around to arrange her things.
Zhou Ze picked it up and saw that it was Yang Bowen bombing on WeChat.
Today he asked Yang Bowen about something. After talking about the matter, it was almost dinner time, so they had dinner together.
After finishing the meal, Yang Bo asked, "Old place? Lao Lin and the others are all here."
"You guys go ahead." In the elevator, Zhou Ze pressed the down button alone.
Yang Bowen still refused to give up: "What are you doing? Wang Yiyi is not here anymore. You even ran away from your family dinner. Now you are scolded by your mother when you go back. We haven't seen you for a long time. Let's go together. We are all acquaintances."
"Today is really bad." There were many people in the elevator. Zhou Ze stood in the corner and typed a few words on his phone and handed it to him: "Wang Yiyi will be back in a while."
Yang Bowen scanned it once and immediately fell silent.
But after getting out of the elevator and until he got on the car, there was no one around. Yang Bowen became reluctant, "You go to pick her up? You didn't ask me to eat with you because you were let go, right?"
Zhou Ze didn't even give him a look. His silence until the end made Yang Bowen frown. He said, "If it were me, I wouldn't go home today, and let her do the same."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Ze glared at him fiercely. Yang Bowen felt the murderous look in his eyes, silently closed the car door for him, made a "please" gesture, and watched him leave.
Not long after this, it happened again.
He used his boasted rich emotional experience to help Zhou Ze solve his problems.
Seeing these words in front of Wang Yiyi, Zhou Ze felt guilty. He quickly deleted all the messages and set Yang Boyen's messages to do not disturb.
Zhou Ze pretended to stand up, stretched, walked into the kitchen, and walked out again to see that Wang Yiyi had closed the second box.
He cleverly put down the water glass, one in each hand, picked up Wang Yiyi's two empty boxes, and put them into the storage room.
As soon as Wang Yi walked to the balcony, she found a dirty clothes basket and brought it in. When she put the dirty clothes in, she saw Zhou Ze coming out after putting the suitcase. She glanced at him and asked, "Do you have any clothes to wash?"
"
"No." Zhou Ze scratched his head in embarrassment and told the truth: "Aunt Miao just came today."
Their family only has hourly workers who come to clean the house regularly. Aunt Miao is the aunt of the Zhou family and usually doesn't come over very often, especially today.
"I just said half of it, you didn't go home today?"
Seeing that the topic had returned to the original point, Zhou Ze simply explained himself: "I saw something from Yang Bo today. I told my mother that I wouldn't go back for dinner, so she asked Aunt Miao to come over."
"Oh," Wang Yi nodded, as if he understood, and then said, "I heard from Sister Qing that the producer also invited you to the celebration banquet tomorrow night?"
"Yeah," Zhou Ze admitted while observing her reaction with his peripheral vision. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he continued calmly, "But I haven't given them a reply yet."
"Whatever you want," Wang Yi pressed the button on the washing machine and closed the curtains on the balcony.
"Actually, we have no connection," Zhou Ze followed her and tried to explain.
Wang Yiyi said "I know everything" and walked back to the room to sit down. "I heard what they said about the theater chain later."
Zhou Ze suddenly became nervous, "Well, listen to my explanation. I didn't want to interfere with your work, but I found out accidentally. Even if I am a bystander, I have no reason to stand by and watch, right?"
As he spoke, his voice dropped a lot, and he did not dare to look directly into Wang Yiyi's eyes.
Wang Yi's expression changed. She couldn't hear a word of accusation against her, but there was something else in her words, "Am I so ignorant in your eyes?"
"No, that's not what I meant." Zhou Ze really didn't expect that after two days of absence, Wang Yiyi's ability to read and understand had changed a lot. For the sake of world peace and to avoid further quarrels, he had to be cautious in his words and actions.
He calmed down and smiled helplessly: "Even if it's not me, the producer will find someone else to solve the problem of scheduling the film. Judging from the final result, there is no difference."
This is indeed the truth. Wang Yi folded his arms and looked at him with a half-smile, waiting for the next words.
Zhou Ze was so frightened by the sight that he hurriedly found a way out for himself: "Okay, I don't have to go anyway, I'm busy."
"You can go if you like. Anyway, it's your relationship with the producer and it has nothing to do with me."
"Really?" Based on Zhou Ze's understanding of Wang Yiyi, he is definitely doubtful about her current attitude. "You are the protagonist of the celebration banquet, there is no need to be absent because of me."
