Li Shiyi lowered her head and looked at her feet, wondering what she was thinking.
Liu Weicheng, who came to the other party's house again, subconsciously looked around after entering the house.
It is different from the scene I saw for the first time in my memory. It can be seen that the living room that Wu Yong destroyed last time has been tidied up again by Li Shiyi.
A single mother lives with her children, and the whole room is kept very clean. Although there are children's picture books, toys, etc. on the coffee table and sofa, this does not affect the tidiness of the entire living room.
Li Shiyi walked past Liu Weicheng, who was watching, and first returned to the kitchen. When she came out again, the kitchen knife in her hand had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the mobile phone tightly clutched in her left hand.
Seeing Li Shiyi holding the phone in her hand, Liu Weicheng thought of something.
He took the initiative to ask.
"What will you say when the police arrive later?"
"..."
Hearing Liu Weicheng's inquiry, Li Shiyi acted obviously stunned, then slowly lowered her eyes and opened her mouth to explain.
"I didn't call the police. What I said just now was just to scare him."
"Didn't call the police?"
This time it was Liu Weicheng's turn to be surprised.
Looking at Li Shiyi who remained silent after saying she didn't call the police, he suddenly felt outrageous, just like the moment he and Zhao Xuanying received a call on their way home.
He didn't understand why the other party didn't choose to call the police.
"Why? Are you still worried that your marriage will not end like this? Then have you considered the feelings of your child? Yunyun is still so young, and you let her watch this all day long?"
"..."
"You have to complicate things that can be solved by calling the police. I can come this time, but what about next time? How are you going to solve it if I don't come?"
Besides, I've only met you a few times, so I can't help but think you look familiar.
After Liu Weicheng finished speaking, he added something in his mind.
Just as he thought, he and Li Shiyi had only met a few times, and at best they could only be regarded as slightly familiar strangers.
If it were other people, how many people would choose to help when this happens?
If you can help me this time, what will you do next time?
Looking at the silent Li Shiyi in front of him, Liu Weicheng suddenly felt like he hated iron. Even if he didn't think about himself, he should think more about his children.
If he hadn't heard Yunyun crying when he answered the phone, he wouldn't have chosen to come all the way to get involved in this muddy water.
When he opened his mouth, he didn't notice Li Shiyi's slightly shaking shoulders as he was already above him, and continued shouting.
"Why don't you just call the police..."
"How could I not do it if it worked!"
Liu Weicheng's words were interrupted by crying shouts. Li Shiyi, who was standing in front of him, suddenly seemed to have an emotional breakdown, and her body fell limply to her knees on the ground.
He curled up and covered his face with his hands.
He seemed to be suppressing the urge to cry.
"Mediate, mediate! We can't get divorced, and they can't deal with this situation! It's not like I haven't tried it, I've tried it many times... He will come out in a few days, and then continue to repeat
…”
"..."
There was an obvious vibrato in her voice, and Li Shiyi's emotions seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
At this moment, she was kneeling on the ground, looking like a helpless child...
"I don't want to live like this either... I also want Yunyun to live a good life..."
"I can't help it...he keeps pestering me..."
"I have no choice at all...I'm so scared..."
"..."
Her voice became lower and lower, and at the end of her speech, tears flowed down her fingers, clearly reflected in Liu Weicheng's sight.
Liu Weicheng, on the other hand, listened to the other party's description word for word. It was not until Li Shiyi's cry that he suddenly realized...the current situation.
From the beginning, he used his own set of ideas to speculate on the other party.
Having never experienced marriage, he didn't know what the problem was. In his mind, calling the police would solve everything.
But now it seems...not so.
The dissatisfied mood just now dissipated quietly, and his voice seemed to be stuck on a cassette. Liu Weicheng just opened his mouth but no words came out. He looked at the helpless woman in front of him and felt a little panicked for a moment.
I stretched out my hand, wanting to say some words of comfort...
The bedroom door was pushed open violently, forcing him to take back his outstretched hand. He turned his head and looked around, and saw a small figure rushing over and quickly throwing himself into Li Shiyi's arms.
"Mother……"
Yunyun's voice made Li Shiyi respond in pain, and she lowered her hands that were covering her face, and opened her arms to hug the child in front of her.
The scene of mother and daughter embracing each other made Liu Weicheng feel like an outsider.
After waiting for a while, Liu Weicheng made a gesture to squat down, wanting to comfort Yunyun who was lying in his mother's arms, and to comfort the children who were tortured by the disagreement between their parents.
Who would have thought that when he bent down, he picked up half a brick used as a weapon from the roadside and fell out of his back pocket.
After making a muffled sound of "Winter", half of the brick rolled twice on the floor and came to Li Shiyi and the child.
Attracted by the noise, Yunyun, who had buried her face in her mother's arms, also poked her head out to take a look.
The mother and daughter both had tears on their faces that had not yet been wiped away. They both looked at Liu Weicheng, who was bending over and about to squat down...
"Uh...what..."
Breaking the touching scene of mother and daughter embracing, Liu Weicheng laughed awkwardly, then picked up the fallen brick and shook it in his hand. He didn't know what to do with the brick.
I am at a loss for words.
It took a long while before I finally managed to hold back a sentence.
"It's better to be more solid with weapons, even though they're not used."
"..."
A "poof" sound came. Seeing Liu Weicheng's serious explanation, perhaps because he suddenly relaxed after the matter was resolved, Li Shiyi laughed uncontrollably.
The tense nerves were relaxed, and she, who had tears in her eyes not long ago, now seemed like a different person, a bit like the scenes in movies and TV shows where the protagonists laugh after being rescued.
Yunyun, who was lying in her mother's arms, looked back and forth between the two of them unclearly, and grabbed her mother's clothes with her little hands harder.
She seemed to want to ask her mother why she was smiling, but the young girl didn't know that this tug caused Li Shiyi's already thin collar to go down even further.
And Liu Weicheng perfectly took in the leaked scene in front of him.
He took a deep breath.
Slowly look away...
Another sneak peek.
"Thank you for tonight."
As if she didn't notice Liu Weicheng's gaze, Li Shiyi raised her hand to touch the tears at the corner of her eyes, and then gently moved away her daughter's hand holding the collar.
The rebound of the fabric covered the spring light again.
The emotion of pity arose, and Liu Weicheng suddenly felt disappointed, but the next second he looked directly at Li Shiyi in front of him and waved his hand slightly.
He looked like nothing was wrong.
"It's okay, but don't take what I just said too seriously. After all, I don't understand much either."
"Um……"
In response, Li Shiyi's mood had improved a lot. She supported the child and slowly stood up from the kneeling position. She stood facing Liu Weicheng and held the child's little hand tightly.
They looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.
After Liu Weicheng realized that the time was almost up, he was ready to say the words to take the first step.
But before he could speak, Li Shiyi, who was standing in front of him, suddenly asked in a low voice.
"Would you like a cup of tea?"
"..."
When these words came into his ears, Liu Weicheng was slightly stunned. He was about to say the words of rejection, but Yunyun, who was holding her little hand by her mother, came over and gently held his hand...
The child's little hands were soft, and the small one seemed to provoke Liu Weicheng's fragile nerves.
Looking at the mother and daughter who seemed to have not yet recovered from the phobia, Liu Weicheng nodded after a long time.
He responded.
"Then...I'll leave after drinking."
