Chapter 96 (2/2)

”Mr. Xiao, don't worry. I won't divorce Si Tong. I'll make it clear to Si Tong.”

”Make it clear? It's been three or four days, and you still don't know that woman. I tell you, if you want to make it clear, you must first break off the relationship with that woman. As for divorce, if your explanation doesn't satisfy me, I'll use coercive means to divorce you.”

Lin Mubei didn't say anything. Xiao Yuan pressed out a small half of his cigarette in the ashtray: ”don't forget Lin's current situation.”

Lin Mubei narrowed his eyes and said, ”I won't forget, but I don't need to be reminded.”

Xiao Yuan stood up. His arrogant attitude aroused a trace of anger, but when he thought of Ye Sitong's advice, he just said, ”Sitong asked you to meet in the porridge restaurant on Dongmen street tonight. If you like, go.” he stopped and said, ”this is Sitong's original words, but what I want to say is that you must go. My only sister is not brought to you for abuse.”

Lin Mubei looked up and looked at him with burning eyes: ”I'll go.”

”Best.” Xiao Yuan threw down a sentence and turned to leave smartly.

Lin Mubei took a mouthful of coffee. It was so bitter that he swallowed it raw.

After work, for the first time, Lin Mubei didn't stay in the company, leaving earlier than the secretary.

That porridge restaurant he knows, Dongmen street, isn't it where he took Ye Sitong last time? In that small room full of Zen, the two of them sat opposite each other with hot green vegetable porridge, which seemed to be a long memory.

The porridge restaurant is still crowded. There is a crowd of people outside. Lin Mubei squeezes in with a suit coat on his arm. At a glance, he sees Ye Sitong sitting at the innermost small table. Lin Mubei walks straight past.

Ye Sitong said in a flat tone, ”are you coming? Sit down first. I've ordered it. It'll be fine in a minute.”

Lin Mubei choked at her insipid greeting, so he sat down silently.

Ye Sitong asked, ”are you all right these days?”

It seemed that a long lost friend suddenly split up. After meeting the usual question again, Lin Mu looked at her and nodded: ”OK.”

”That's good.” Yesi Tong pulled the corners of his mouth and turned his head to look elsewhere.

”You...”

Lin Mubei just said a word, and the waiter of the porridge restaurant sent the ordered green vegetable porridge.

Ye Sitong said thank you. She scooped up a spoon with a spoon and blew air. Her hair fell. She had to free her hand to lift her hair.

Lin Mubei saw her drooping her eyebrows, her eyelashes were dizzy in the rising fog, and she couldn't see clearly.

In silence, ye Sitong took a mouthful of porridge, raised his head, saw Lin Mubei staring at her motionless, and said uneasily, ”don't you like it? I thought you liked it before, and you'd always like it.” she said, smiling and pushing the menu at hand: ”look, order another one, it's my treat.”

Lin Mubei suddenly grabbed her wrist. In her stupor, he whispered, ”I like it very much.”

After Lin Mubei said that, Wu Zi released her hand and bowed his head to drink porridge. It tasted the same as that day, but the atmosphere changed.

Ye Sitong lifted his hair behind his ears again, hung his eyes, and said faintly, ”why? You don't have to embarrass yourself. If you don't like it, just order another one.”

”Ye Sitong, as long as I like something, it won't change any more.” Lin Mubei said faintly and bowed his head to drink porridge.

Ye Sitong was stunned. He didn't speak. He pulled back his hand and gently stirred the spoon in the atherosclerotic bowl.

When he had nothing to say, he ate very quickly. When he didn't need to, Lin Mubei solved the problem. He looked up at Ye Sitong, and there was more than half of the bowl left. He frowned, didn't speak, and leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes slightly.

Ye Sitong said, ”sorry, I eat very slowly.”

Lin Mubei said with a cold face, ”Si Tong, is it necessary for us to have such a division?”

”Mu Bei, you make me feel strange.” Ye Sitong put down his spoon, took out a paper to wipe his mouth, and said bitterly: ”I don't know if you are like this or Lin Mubei before.”

”I am.” Lin Mubei answered without hesitation: ”I've always been, Si Tong. I've never done anything sorry for you. What's said in the newspaper is just exaggeration. Don't believe it, as long as it's not what I said to you personally...”

Ye Sitong leaned back weakly on the chair and laughed sarcastically: ”who should I trust? Mu Bei, I can't believe you anymore.”
