On the way back, the light of the setting sun sprinkled on the boundless ocean, and the afterglow was s.h.i.+ning magnificently in the sky. Chen Keren and the other people picked up some sh.e.l.ls, took many commemorative photos. Then they packed up and got into the car.

Chen Kexin seemed tired in the car and fell asleep leaning against Chen Keren's shoulder.

Yi Duanfang sat on the pa.s.senger seat and watched the photos with interest.

"It's a pity that the sea is too cold, or I'll go down and have fun," said Yi Duanfang, laughing.

Rolling her eyes at Yi Duanfang, Chen Keren said scornfully, "It seems that you are the only one who has not gone down. Are you afraid of the cold water, or making misbehaviors?"

Yi Duanfang touched his nose with embarra.s.sment and said, "You noticed it. Keke, eh, because playing in the water would spoil my personal image."

"You never ever have a good personal image, okay?"

Yi Duanfang felt depressed.

w.a.n.g Weixi said instantly, "OK, stop talking. Is it uncomfortable for you two not to argue? Keep quiet. Don't wake up the sleeping Kexin."

"Only your wife is a treasure." Yi Duanfang joked.

"Your wife isn't a treasure?" w.a.n.g Weixi retorted.

Chen Keren fixed her gaze on Yi Duanfang, and at this moment, Yi Duanfang felt that he was about to be burned by Chen Keren's glowing eyes.

"Of course she is," Yi Duanfang said, shrugging his shoulders.

Chen Keren smiled with satisfaction and slowly closed her eyes.

Yi Duanfang rolled his eyes at w.a.n.g Weixi, who sowed discord among them several times, which made him have to suffer in silence.

"He is a bad guy, indeed! I am aware of it just now although we have been together for so many years."

When w.a.n.g Weixi was driving, his mobile phone started to ring.

He casually took a look at the caller ID on his mobile phone. Unexpectedly, it was Tong Siqi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Yi Duanfang also noticed that. He frowned and glanced at the two behind him, whispering, "Don't answer it."

w.a.n.g Weixi frowned, thought for a moment, and hung up the phone.

But it seemed that Tong Siqi didn't give up and made a few phone calls in a short time.

"Oh my G.o.d, what does she want to do?" Yi Duanfang said impatiently, "turn your phone off."

w.a.n.g Weixi thought for a while and said, "She had made so many phone calls, what if she really gets into trouble?"

Yi Duanfang made to stop him, but w.a.n.g Weixi had already answered the phone.

"Hi, what's the matter?" w.a.n.g Weixi asked calmly.

"Are you free tonight?" Tong Siqi's voice was weak and hoa.r.s.e as if she had been crying.

w.a.n.g Weixi frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"I want to..."

"If there is anything, just tell me on the phone. I'm going to the movies with my wife tonight, so I don't have free time." w.a.n.g Weixi believed that he would not be used once again, so he interrupted Tong Siqi directly when she hesitated.

But Tong Siqi didn't seem surprised that he would refuse her. She kept silent for a few seconds, then sobbed, which made people feel sad and want to care about her.

Yi Duanfang said glumly, "Why did you talk to her so much instead of hanging up?"

w.a.n.g Weixi stared at him. Yi Duanfang turned around angrily and thought, "You will come to grief for it sooner or later! But what does that confounded woman want to do?"

"Are you ok? What happened?" w.a.n.g Weixi asked with concern.

Hearing Tong Siqi's sobs, he wanted to care about her out of inner feelings, even though he was not supposed to do that. He couldn't figure out that if it was because of guilt or her character as a woman.

The speed slowed down. Chen Keren slightly opened her eyes, glanced at w.a.n.g Weixi, and asked peacefully, "Who is calling?"

Hearing her words, both Yi Duanfang and w.a.n.g Weixi were stunned. Yi Duanfang turned around, smiled at Chen Keren, and said with a gentle tone, "Just a call from the company and is that bothering you?"

Chen Keren shook her head to deny and closed her eyes to continue her nap.

w.a.n.g Weixi looked at Yi Duanfang with grat.i.tude. But Yi Duanfang just gave him a blank look in return, then turned around again.

"Tonight... I'll wait for you at the western restaurant where we usually go. Weixi, I'll be there waiting for you until you come." Tong Siqi sobbed and hung up the phone before w.a.n.g Weixi could react to it.

w.a.n.g Weixi hung up the phone, feeling confused. He thought, "What the devil is the matter? Or she just wants to play a trick?"

w.a.n.g Weixi didn't want to speculate Tong Siqi from such a perspective because he believed that Tong Siqi was still innocent and lovely as before. Although he realized that she had caused a lot of unexpected troubles during this period of time, he didn't really blame or confront her. In addition to the matter that related to Yi Duanfang, he had been trying hard to hold onto his temper because he was terribly sorry for Tong Siqi's great personality change.

Compunction could make a person discommode himself time after time, and even affect the people around him. However, they could not really be cruel to the person who started it.

"What did she say?" Yi Duanfang asked in a low voice.

w.a.n.g Weixi thought about it and said, "She cried, and it seemed that she had something important to turn to me."

Yi Duanfang definitely understood what w.a.n.g Weixi meat. He said unhappily, "Does she mean to meet you? Don't accede her request."

w.a.n.g Weixi said calmly, "Take easy. I know what I am doing."

Yi Duanfang knew w.a.n.g Weixi a lot, who had already answered him when he said like this. "Till now, why can't he be cold-hearted when facing her? It is clear that that event is not his fault. Why does he always allow others to screw up his own life?"

"Didn't we make a deal to watch a movie when we get back?" Yi Duanfang asked worriedly and took a look at the two people in the backseat.

w.a.n.g Weixi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget it."

"It's useless if you just remember it. If you agree to meet Tong Siqi, Kexin will think much of it again," Yi Duanfang said angrily.

w.a.n.g Weixi looked annoyed and said nothing. In fact, his mind was very confused.

Yi Duanfang didn't say anything. He knew it was useless to say so much. w.a.n.g Weixi had always been a sedate person. What made him mind too much was to owe someone. Besides, he had to have blamed himself for that event.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yi Duanfang finally said, "Anyway, I will always be on your side."

w.a.n.g Weixi turned his face, nodded with a smile, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Duanfang."

Yi Duanfang smiled bitterly. "Actually, I have to blame myself for the matter. If I had not been too angry and felt that Tong Siqi was too unreasonable, I would have told her the truth of the matter at that time. Maybe it was not so late at that time. Perhaps, Tong Siqi's hatred may be eliminated.

"So, I'm just paying for it."

"But remember that do not break Kexin's heart and do not make her sad," Yi Duanfang said seriously, "or Keren and I will not let you go."

Chen Keren frowned. She had been pretending to sleep, but when she heard Yi Duanfang's words, she felt happy and warm although she was annoyed by w.a.n.g Weixi's hesitation at this time.

w.a.n.g Weixi solemnly nodded and promised, "Don't worry, nothing in the world is more important than Kexin. I will never make her sad."

"That would be nice if you really think so," Yi Duanfang said with concerns.

When they got home, it's already over eight o'clock. The sun sets early in autumn and winter.

Although Chen Kexin felt very sleepy, she woke up finally.

"Why do we need to come back? Why don't we just go to the movies?" Yi Duanfang reluctantly said, eating an apple on the sofa.

"We have to come back and change clothes because our clothes are soaked in the sea," Chen Kexin rubbed her eyes and said bleary-eyed, "but you didn't go into the water, so you don't have to change."

Yi Duanfang curled his lips and said impatiently, "Go for it quickly."

Then Chen Kexin followed Chen Keren to the bedroom.

Yi Duanfang threw the apple core into the dustbin and said lazily, "Women are trouble."

w.a.n.g Weixi said nothing but silently sat and smoked.

Yi Duanfang looked at him and asked worriedly, "What's the matter? You're not thinking of making excuses to leave to see that crazy woman, are you?"

Under a cloud of cigarette smoke, w.a.n.g Weixi did not say a word. What he could remember was that Tong Siqi said that she would always wait for him.
