Diurnal

Shi Qiong has always been elusive, and this time is no exception.

The restaurant had just opened in the morning, and she appeared in a fashionable overcoat and exaggerated sunglasses that almost covered half of her face.

Shi Qiong greeted Fang Ji: "Hi."

Fang Ji: "..."

As usual, Shi Qiong sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows where she could see the streets nearby most clearly. She ordered morning tea and desserts, and was told that it would be okay to wait until half an hour later.

She obviously didn't come for these.

Since this year, Fang Ji has seldom been in and out of the back kitchen, and more often the store manager takes him to familiarize himself with all aspects.Chi Jie plans to open a chain store in a neighboring city, with more categories than here, and the store manager must be transferred there.Fang Ji, as a veteran employee with a long history, was familiar with the work of the front office and the back kitchen, so he was naturally promoted.

In this way, he will spend more time in the front hall, and it is inevitable that he will have contact with Shi Qiong.

"Don't you want to chat with me? You should really want to know the reaction of Shi's house?" There was no one in the shop, Shi Qiong said to Fang Ji from a distance.

Fang Ji couldn't help getting closer. Now that the employees are almost all here, it's inevitable that everyone will spread gossip.

Shi Qiong seemed to be sure of this point. After taking off the sunglasses, she revealed her naturally smiling eyes. The pupil color was the most common dark brown, and the end of the eyes elongated like eyeliner, which was very charming.

However, because of the close distance, Fang Ji noticed some invisible lines in the corners of her eyes.Only on closer inspection can one see that she is indeed not as young as she looks.

Shi Qiong motioned for Fang Ji to sit down with a familiar attitude, but Fang Ji shook his head and refused, saying that it was working time now.

"I believe Chi Jie won't blame him." Shi Qiong brushed her hair indifferently, propped her chin with one hand, and looked at Fang Ji from the bottom up, "Father is very angry, his grandson didn't let the family A time for peace of mind."

Fang Ji still couldn't get used to the woman's way of speaking, and after thinking for two seconds, he realized that Shi Qiong was referring to Ji Shizhou's grandfather.

Shi Qiong smiled and said: "The whole family is worried about him, he is really worrying, isn't he?"

Fang Ji retorted: "It's not what you said, Xiao Zhou has his own plans."

"What's the plan? Does he still want to teach and educate people like Ji Guohua? He's not that material." Shi Qiong asked first, and then said, "Forget it, I don't care about it."

Fang Ji frowned immediately.

He doesn't like talking to Shi Qiong, and doesn't like her casual attitude.Seventy percent of the reason why Ji Shizhou has such a twisted and awkward personality is caused by the person in front of him.

"Seriously, if I give you a sum of money now, will you leave my son?" Shi Qiong said suddenly.

"What?" Fang Ji felt absurd for a while, not only his face was ugly, but even his voice became hard, "If Xiao Zhou said he wanted me to go, I would go, but you are not qualified to make decisions for him."

The implication is to refuse.

Shi Qiong seemed to have known that he would say this a long time ago, and looked out of the window with a bored face, "That's right, after all, Ji Shizhou can spend more money for you than I can give, and I only remembered it later, what happened between you That's why Dad and the others found out because Ji Shizhou paid off a gambling debt for you back then."

Fang Ji's body became more and more tense.

But Shi Qiong continued: "You owe it to your stepfather, right?"

The woman raised her eyelids, and the smile on her lips remained the same, even more meaningful, "You must have a hard time with such a father."

Fang Ji didn't say anything.

Shi Qiong didn't need his support at all, with his hands clasped together, the intricate and delicate patterns on his nails were shining brightly in the morning sun.

"You must have heard from Ji Shizhou that I was adopted by Shi's family. But I was not an orphan from the beginning. After my mother died, I lived with my father. Then my father died..." Shi Qiong suddenly separated his hands , smiling brightly, "Want to know how my father died?"

Fang Ji couldn't keep up with the woman's train of thought, and a very terrifying idea flashed in his mind.

But in the next second, Shi Qiong said: "He died of illness, hahaha, your expression is so funny, he works all day long just to support his family, and he will die sooner or later at such an old age."

"After he died, I was adopted by relatives for a while and escaped. You know, the pig-headed man is not very clean-minded, and I am so good-looking, so I ended up in the orphanage. It was also because I was in a group of crooked people. Li was the most beautiful and talkative, so she was adopted by the teacher's family.

do you know?They chose several children in a row, but I was the only one left till the end. "

After Shi Qiong finished speaking this series of words, she was very satisfied to see the surprised expression on Fang Ji's face.

"What I get now is what I deserve." She said quite proudly.

"...Why did you tell me these things?" Fang Ji felt that these words should not be something he could hear, maybe Ji Shizhou had never heard his mother say these things.

Shi Qiong shrugged: "You can't tell Ji Shizhou, he is my son, and I am his mother."

Fang Ji didn't understand.

Shi Qiong stretched out her index finger and shook it lightly, "We never talk about feelings."

They don't need to chat deeply, let alone pity each other.

Shi Qiong has never felt sorry for Ji Shizhou, not when he was so young, and even less when he grows up.

She has always cared more about herself.Regarding this point, she will always admit it generously. In the past, it was not worth mentioning to her, but now telling Fang Ji is just a whim.Even if the other party told Ji Shizhou everything later, she didn't think it mattered.

But it can't be her saying.

It was as if she was begging Ji Shizhou for forgiveness.

She never thought she did something wrong, so she didn't need anyone's forgiveness.

The truth is that simple.

She just wanted to provoke again and again, she wanted to play pranks again and again, she would appear in the city where Ji Shizhou was located, and drop language bombs one after another at his little boyfriend.

It was so much fun.

Shi Qiong is a complete self-interested person and a pleasure seeker, and the premise of everything she does is to make herself happy.

This time was the same, she lightly narrated the first half of her life, leaving Fang Ji alone in entangled emotions.

"One last question." Morning tea and desserts were placed in front of her. Shi Qiong didn't move a mouthful. She raised her head to look at Fang Ji, who hadn't sat down all along. "Do you really like my son? I didn't say that he has a bad personality." .”

Just after I said that I don't talk about my feelings, I have to ask about other people's feelings.Fang Ji really didn't understand Shi Qiong, but he could answer this question.

Even if Shi Qiong's attitude towards him has always been very frivolous and not serious, maybe he just wanted to make fun of him by asking this question.

Fang Ji had to answer carefully.

Because he was afraid that he would not answer well, and Ji Shizhou would listen to him by accident, and Ji Shizhou had to think about it.

Although Xiao Zhou is very smart, he also likes to think wildly.

The only solution Fang Ji can think of is to respond seriously every time.

Of course I love you.

I will not leave.

I want to stay.

Ji Shizhou is a child who lacks love, and Fang Ji is the most sincere puppy.

Fang Ji said: "Xiao Zhou is very good, not bad at all."

If liking means wanting to be with someone, unless you let go first, unless you don't want me, otherwise I will always be there.

So love is... love is before that, before realizing that it is liking, I want to be with you, there is no time, no deadline, even if you let go first, even if you don't want me, I still want to stay.

"Not only do I like him, I love him very much."

Shi Qiong was not surprised.

She used to think so too.

It would be nice if I could get love by giving up everything, but now I just feel like a fool for thinking that way.

His own son is a big fool.

Now there is actually someone who is stupid with him.

Shi Qiong left without touching morning tea and dessert. Before leaving, she explained: "I'm on a diet."

Fang Ji: "..."

"I will tell him the truth about what you said today." Shi Qiong couldn't help complaining, "He won't hang up on me unless he talks about you."

Without waiting for Fang Ji to respond, Shi Qiong came to a conclusion alone: ​​"He is really not a good son."

But she wasn't a good mother either.

Shi Qiong never said that she would be a good mother, and on the contrary, she never asked Ji Shizhou for anything.

In the evening, Shi Qiong called Ji Shizhou, "The family already knows about you and your little boyfriend."
