After receiving a call from the guard at the door, Ruan Bin came to see him. Jiang Hao probably knew Ruan Bin's purpose.
Xiao Fang said worriedly: "Chief, are you seeing me or not?"
Jiang Hao looked at the time and said, "It's about time. I have nothing else to do here. You can get off work."
“Chief, what about Ruan Bin??”
"I'm going home too." Jiang Hao said.
Xiao Fang nodded and reluctantly stopped asking. He regarded the chief as his idol and a real hero. He wanted to follow him all his life.
As night fell and the street lights gradually turned on, Jiang Hao drove through the woods and came to the door.
Ruan Bin's car was parked on the roadside. This was the first time in a long time that he came to the army to see Jiang Hao.
"Hello, Chief, go slowly, Chief." The guard at the door paused and saluted respectfully.
Jiang Hao nodded and drove out.
Ruan Bin's car followed slowly.
The old place, the bar.
As soon as they got off the car, Ruan Bin rushed up and punched Jiang Hao in the face. Jiang Hao couldn't stand still, and his back hit the car door with a "pop". The corner of his mouth hurt, and he tasted the smell of blood on the tip of his tongue.
He touched the corner of his mouth with his tongue and smiled nonchalantly, "You know everything?"
Ruan Bin was still angry and grabbed his collar and asked: "You just hang out with Xiao Tianai? Jiang Hao, you are not such a person. Do you know what your responsibility is? You have a family, you
You have a wife and you have self-control, so you shouldn’t do such immoral things.”
Jiang Hao still smiled, casually, "I am also a human being, a man, you understand."
"I don't understand!" Ruan Bin said frantically, "Yes, I admit that I am not a good person. I don't know how to cherish. I missed it and fell. I regret you so much that Min Yi married someone else.
You know? Do you know how much I regret not confessing to her earlier?"
Of course Jiang Hao understood that Chen Minyi was his ex-girlfriend, and the woman behind her was obviously Qiao Xinwei. He smiled bitterly and said, "Bin, you finally told the truth."
"If it weren't for you, I would really want to take a look. Xinwei is a good girl, can she let you ruin her like this?"
"I...have nothing to say."
Ruan Bin let go of him, shook his head and sneered. He took a breath and asked seriously: "Tell me, what are your plans?"
"Let's talk over a drink?"
"good."
The bar was too noisy, so they bought two dozen cans and left. They went out to find a secluded small park and drank beer while enjoying the cold wind and watching the night.
Jiang Hao said: "I can't say much about this matter. In short, what you have seen so far is that Xinwei and I will divorce, I will leave the house, and I will marry Tian Ai. I don't know at the moment.
It will end if necessary.”
Ruan Bin was confused, "What do you mean?"
"That's what I mean, that's all I can say."
"Ahao, do you have any difficulties?"
Jiang Hao smiled bitterly, leaving only a bitter smile, "I don't have any hard reasons, I just feel that I am so sorry for Xinwei, and I want to give her the maximum compensation."
Ruan Bin hit the point when he said, "No matter how much you give her, it will be useless."
"Have you visited her?"
"She was absent from work for three days without any reason. Both of your phones were turned off. We were all worried that something had happened to her, so I went to your house to look for her. I didn't see her. I saw her friend who said she hadn't been home for three days and three nights.
Half a step out of the room, not eating, drinking, or talking."
Jiang Hao choked his throat, causing her pain, which was more uncomfortable than killing him. He was suffering at the moment that life would be worse than death.
Ruan Bin added: "I don't think you look cool and relaxed now, so why were you like this in the first place?"
As expected of Fa Xiao who grew up together, Ruan Bin still understands him quite well, "Bin, don't ask, I really can't say any more."
"Ah Hao, you have your own reasons, right? I don't believe you are such a person."
Jiang Hao shook his head and kept shaking his head, "If we are brothers, don't ask anymore."
Ruan Bin was speechless. Based on his understanding of him, if he refused to say anything, he would never be able to ask anything. He said with something in mind: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, the people who want to beat you are waiting in line."
The team is waiting, you'd better be careful."
Jiang Hao smiled bitterly and raised his head to drink.
——
It was late at night, Jiang Hao dragged his tired body back home. The living room was pitch dark. He turned on the light and looked around. No one was there. Arnold and Xiaozhi were not there, otherwise they would definitely rush out to chase him away.
Is it because Xinwei doesn't want them to accompany her? He thought, she always doesn't want to trouble others, even in her most difficult time, she has to endure it by herself.
The heating has not been turned off yet, and the house is as warm as spring.
He vaguely heard the sound of rushing water from inside. He walked over and gently knocked on the bedroom door twice. When there was no movement, he pushed it in.
When he opened the door, the sound of water stopped and there were footsteps in the bathroom. He said softly: "Xinwei, are you taking a shower?"
Qiao's heart trembled, and the comb in his hand fell to the ground. He would come back.
Four days and three nights, the pain has not passed, and most of the impulse has gone.
Qiao Xinwei put on her pajamas and went out. Jiang Hao stood at the door at a loss, his eyes were red and bloodshot, his face was haggard, and he smelled of alcohol. She asked, "Do you want to wash it? If you do, I won't."
Cleaned."
Her tone was very calm, and he almost thought that nothing had happened. Her indifference and strength made him happy, but also frightened him. He was afraid that she would give up on him.
Jiang Hao nodded, "Yes, I'll wash it."
"Okay, I won't care about the bathroom." Qiao Xinwei wiped her hair with a towel and walked past him while wiping it.
Jiang Hao didn't dare to look at her. When she passed by, he smelled a familiar scent. He watched her walk by. Her back was thin and weak, but she could withstand all the sufferings that he thought were unbearable.
He had the urge to go up and hug her, but in the end he suppressed it.
Qiao Xinwei walked towards the kitchen, walked a few steps and suddenly stopped and asked, "Do you want noodles? I'll prepare it next."
Jiang Hao said in surprise: "How about you go down? Why don't I do it?"
"You wash yours and I'll do it," she took a deep breath, her voice trembling a little, "I haven't cooked a decent meal for you for so long, and I don't think there will be any chance in the future, so late.
There is nothing to eat at home, only noodles. Today is the last time I cook it for you. My cooking skills are limited, so you have to make do with it."
"Okay." Jiang Hao also choked up.
The hour hand had already pointed to one o'clock, and Jiang Hao took a bath and came out. When he walked to the living room, he saw Qiao Xinwei busy in the kitchen. She tied up her wet hair without blowing it dry, and the water in the pot boiled.
, the hot noodle soup is filled with aroma.
"Need help?"
"No, you wait."
Jiang Hao nodded, rarely looking like she was in a hurry, "Take your time, don't be in a hurry."
Usually when she is alone, she either eats dumplings or cooks something casually. It is easy to deal with alone. After he comes home, he takes over the kitchen, buys vegetables, cooks and washes dishes. He does everything.
The ingredients are boiled cabbage and fungus, sprinkle with a little chili powder, add minced garlic and shredded ginger, pour hot oil over it, and two large bowls of spicy noodles are ready.
The two sat facing each other, and Qiao Xinwei said regretfully: "I was distracted, and the noodles were a bit mushy. I guess they don't taste very good."
"It's okay." Jiang Hao picked up the chopsticks and mixed the noodles. The heat was rising and it smelled quite fragrant. However, after taking a bite, there was an indescribable expression on his face.
It's too spicy, too salty, too sour, but it's also a little sweet.
Qiao Xinwei didn't ask him whether it tasted good or not. She knew her own level, so why bother others? She had said before that her cooking skills were limited and he had to eat it himself.
She ate the noodles silently, slurping and smelling delicious.
Jiang Hao thought about it for a while. He put a lot of spicy noodles, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar, but not minced garlic and shredded ginger. His and her noodles were obviously different.
He didn't say anything and continued to eat. Even if she gave him rat poison today, he would still eat it.
The atmosphere was quite strange. Qiao Xinwei was eating alone, not talking, showing no guilty conscience, and not being attentive. The kettle was in her hand, but she was indifferent. Jiang Hao was coughing there, which made his nose runny and tears almost flowed out.
However, he coughed and continued to eat. He choked and coughed while eating, and finally his face turned red after eating.
After eating, Qiao Xinwei put down her chopsticks. Her stomach was finally full. Her eyes were always looking at the bowl of heavy-flavored fried noodles, which was her masterpiece. She said calmly: "Jiang Hao, you want a divorce."
, I can only agree. Fortunately, we have no children and no common property, so it is easy to divorce. The house and car are your property before marriage, and I don’t need it. I will sort out my things and take them away. What is left behind is useless.
You can throw away the things, donate them, whatever you want to do with them."
Jiang Hao's tongue was already numb and his throat was burning. After hearing this, he quickly interrupted and said: "The house and car belong to you. It was my fault first. I will give these to you. I know you will not go back to your parents' home. You
Where can I live if I don’t have a house?”
"Thank you for your concern," her tone was obviously lively, with a hint of gunpowder, "How do you know I won't go back to my parents' home? Don't say you know me, even if I said I knew you, I wouldn't have guessed that you would.
You divorced me because of Xiao Tianai, so you are not qualified to say you understand me, and my life no longer needs your arrangements."
Jiang Hao was speechless. He seemed to be in no position to speak at this moment.
Qiao Xinwei softened her tone. It was difficult to talk about things when she was excited. She regained her composure, "The decoration, decoration, and furniture here are all designed and arranged according to Xiao Tianai's house. Even the perfume on the dressing table
They are all exactly the same as the ones she used. Of course, I threw away that bottle of perfume a long time ago. If you think I can still live here after something like this happened, then you really overestimate me."
Jiang Hao was speechless. The house was prepared for marriage. He started preparing it before he met her. He admitted that at that time, he still missed Xiao Tianai in his heart. It was also his carelessness. He didn't want this to be a big deal to her.
She never spoke of the biggest and most helpless pressure and shadow.
