In a cold drink shop on the street, the two of them sat on each side of the table. They had been silent for a long time. Apart from drinking, there was almost no conversation between them.
"Have another drink." Wu Bing poked his elbows on the table and gave a friendly suggestion to the woman in front of him.
After saying that, Wu Bing tapped the cups on the table with his index finger. If he counted correctly, Ji Xiaoya just drank seven glasses of cocktails.
This woman's water volume is not small. Besides, she has drank so much, and she is not in a better mood. She has been drinking for a whole afternoon, and she still looks unhappy. It's really interesting.
Ji Xiaoya was still angry. She had no intention of paying attention to Wu Bing. It was none of his business that she drank from her. She didn't invite him to drink with her. He insisted on coming.
Ji Xiaoya sighed. She was about to ask the waiter for another drink. Unexpectedly, Wu Bing raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "Waiter, two more cocktails, Blue Dream."
At this time, Wu Bing didn't mind acting like a gentleman. Seeing that Ji Xiaoya had been drinking alone, he felt a little inexplicable hollow in his heart.
"Why do you care about me?" Ji Xiaoya finally asked angrily. There was always hostility in her eyes. Her vigilance towards this man did not slack off.
Wu Bing did not shy away from Ji Xiaoya's piercing gaze. Instead, he dusted his sleeves naturally: "When a lady needs help, as a man, you should take the initiative to lend a hand."
Ji Xiaoya said "cut" disdainfully. She didn't believe Wu Bing's words. This man had a slippery tone. He was not a good person at first glance.
Ji Xiaoya held her cheek with one hand and turned the small spoon in the wine glass with the other hand. The blue cocktail was foaming bit by bit in the glass. It was also decorated with lemon slices. Indeed. very nice.
"Don't worry. I'll pay for it today." Wu Bing smiled at Ji Xiaoya. With him here, he had no reason to let the woman pay.
"It's up to you." Ji Xiaoya turned the spoon and turned her head to the side. She didn't want to accept any favor from Wu Bing. Besides, was he looking down on her by doing this? She didn't need his charity.
Wu Bing chuckled a few times with interest. He leaned on the sofa behind him and said, "You always reject me like this. I will feel sorry for you."
Hearing what he said, Ji Xiaoya smiled even colder. She didn't accept his words at all: "Wu Bing, can you speak more seriously? I'm in a bad mood and have a few drinks. What's bothering you? .You can go. I didn’t invite you."
Ji Xiaoya thinks Wu Bing is a lunatic + a stalker. Are they familiar? Why are they sitting together drinking? Why should he be responsible for paying the bill? It's inexplicable.
After a while, the two cocktails ordered by Wu Bing arrived. Wu Bing took the initiative to gently push the glasses in front of Ji Xiaoya: "Continue. Miss Match."
Ji Xiaoya grabbed the wine glass and glanced at Wu Bing with a hostile look. Then she lowered her head and continued to spin the small spoon in the glass.
"After these two drinks, don't drink any more. Do you hear me?"
Ji Xiaoya subconsciously raised her head after hearing this. She saw Wu Bing looking at her from the opposite side. His eyes were full of concern.
The sentence just now was the most serious sentence Wu Bing said since they met. Moreover, his tone was filled with a bit of gentleness. There was no joking or ridicule at all.
Ji Xiaoya's emotions couldn't help but calm down a bit.
"Cocktails are also wine. Drinking too much is bad for your health." Wu Bing still maintained a smile and looked at his mobile phone casually, as if he was not moved by Ji Xiaoya's words at all.
Ji Xiaoya's heart palpitated. At that moment, she was even thinking about whether she should say "thank you" to the other party.
Perhaps her personality was too strong and she always kept others away. In fact, that was not Ji Xiaoya's original intention. But when those words came out of her mouth, they seemed to have a sharp thorn.
"How can you help your sister if your body collapses?" Wu Bing put the phone back in his pocket and looked at Ji Xiaoya again.
She had just hit him back with such a strong tone. However, he tolerated all her tempers and was still thinking about her... For some reason, Ji Xiaoya suddenly felt sour in her heart.
"Thank you." Finally, she said this thank you. Ji Xiaoya held the cold glass in both hands. She didn't say anything more. She just lowered her head slightly. Her thoughts became messy.
Wu Bing's smile was a little more pleased: "Isn't this quite gentle?"
Ji Xiaoya raised her eyes and glanced at Wu Bing. However, she couldn't deny the sweet feeling in her heart.
There is always no one who can see through her bravery and protect her fragility. Ji Xiaoya is just an ordinary girl. She also longs for someone to accompany her, support her, encourage her, tolerate her straightforwardness and willfulness...
"I want you to take care of it~" Ji Xiaoya deliberately turned her head to the other side to avoid looking at Wu Bing. But this sentence of "I want you to take care of it" was obviously not as tough as the previous sentence. Instead, it was a bit more naughty and cute.
Seeing that Ji Xiaoya's anger had subsided, Wu Bing finally felt relieved. He picked up the coffee cup in front of him and took a sip. He then said, "What are you going to do next?"
"Ah." Ji Xiaoya hasn't come back to her senses yet.
"I'll ask next." Wu Bing repeated his question again. He put his elbows on the table, clasped his hands together, and placed them lightly on his chin. "You and Liang Ruoqing broke up. What next? Su Han, what are you going to do? what to do."
Just now at the door of Su's house, Su Han resolutely rejected Ji Xiaoya's help. It is probably difficult for the two sisters to communicate with each other anymore. It's no wonder. Ji Xiaoya's attitude is so tough. Of course Su Han will be suspicious. Her purpose is unclear. How could she possibly follow her?
Ji Xiaoya sighed. While holding the glass, she looked at the street scene outside the window and said, "I don't know. I want to help her, but..."
But Su Han's attitude frustrated Ji Xiaoya. Sometimes, Ji Xiaoya really felt that she was superfluous. Why should she interfere in Su Han and Ye Junxuan's affairs? Su Han didn't believe her at all. Nor did she. They will understand this relationship. Their origins have already destined this result. Their mothers are different women, but their fathers are the same. How can they get along with such an awkward relationship?
Wu Bing understood Ji Xiaoya's mood at this time. He didn't say anything more. Instead, he let her calm down. At this time, silence is the best antidote.
"Have you and Su Han always been like this?" After a while, Wu Bing asked tentatively. "I mean, your relationship has never been very good."
"Yeah." Ji Xiaoya nodded. Although she was very helpless about this fact. "I didn't know there was such a sister before. It was probably when I was in middle school that I suddenly knew that there was another sister in this world. Su Han..."
Ji Xiaoya remembers that it was Su Han's mother who came to Ji's house to look for her father. She said that Su Han was seriously ill and urgently needed some medical expenses. The woman cried and begged her father and was almost kicked out by her mother. Her father followed him with hesitation. Su's mother went to the hospital together and helped Su Han pay her medical bills. Later, when she was discharged from the hospital, her father took her for a paternity test. This confirmed that Su Han was indeed Ji Jingyang's daughter, and that she was an illegitimate daughter.
Ji Xiaoya's first reaction was of course repulsion. She had lived a good life for more than ten years, but why did an inexplicable sister suddenly appear? As time went by, the two of them grew up, but the relationship between them also changed. It's getting more and more tense. If it's not absolutely necessary, they won't take the initiative to meet each other.
"Sorry. I shouldn't have mentioned this to you." Ji Xiaoya smiled at Wu Bing. She was a little sad when she was talking just now. She almost forgot that there was an outsider sitting in front of her.
Wu Bing responded with a polite smile: "It's nothing. I understand."
Wu Bing could imagine the grievances between Ji Xiaoya and Su Han. After all, they are biological sisters. There must be feelings. However, they long for each other's care and do not want to be disturbed too much by each other... This kind of blood relationship is really annoying. .
"Su Han... is actually a very good sister. She is kind and brave..." Ji Xiaoya recalled quietly. Then she laughed at herself. She lowered her head and looked at the wine in the glass and continued: "My sister is very harsh. She may misunderstand me."
Ji Xiaoya often regrets what she said. For example, what she said just now in front of Su Han's house was not her intention at all. Ji Xiaoya wanted to help Su Han and hoped that she would live well... but she saw that Su Han didn't trust her. She couldn't help but say those impulsive words.
Her personality really needs to be changed. Otherwise, she will hurt many people around her.
"You think I'm stupid, idiot, stupid..." Ji Xiaoya looked at the table gloomily and said uncontrollably.
Wu Bing has been listening quietly from the side without interrupting.
As a senior lawyer, Wu Bing has met many people. All kinds of people. All kinds of disguises and lies. None of them can escape his eyes. Wu Bing knows best how to see a person's true heart. Ji Xiaoya's heart is not complicated. On the contrary, she is very simple and easily hurt.
"I don't think so. You don't have to think about it so much," Wu Bing comforted Ji Xiaoya. "Besides, having the same father and mother is not your fault at all. You don't have to take it all on yourself."
Wu Bing could tell that Ji Xiaoya's heart was too heavy. She always wanted to bear a lot of things alone. However, she ignored that she was just an ordinary woman. She had no need to be strong. As long as a person bears the weight of her own life, I am already very tired. How can I bear the burden of others?
Hearing Wu Bing's words, Ji Xiaoya's heart became warm. It turned out that there were still people in this world who would understand her.
"Thank you." Ji Xiaoya nodded slightly to Wu Bing. She finally smiled.
