Sister Li didn't say anything. She just quietly laid in my embrace. After a long time, she lifted her head from my embrace and stared at me. I could clearly see myself in her eyes. Suddenly, she broke free from my embrace and ruffled her messy hair. "Little Sun, rest early. I'm going back."

After saying that, I immediately turned around and left. I hastily stood up and called out to her, "Sister Li, Sister Li."

I called out a few times, but she didn't respond. She just walked out. After a moment's hesitation, I rushed out of the room to make the final effort. She had already entered the elevator and was on her way downstairs.

I immediately returned to the house and leaned on the windowsill to look down. By then, Sister Li had already boarded her BMW and was speeding away.

I sat down, calmed myself, and sent her a message telling her to slow down and be careful. It was an hour after I received her reply. She said she was home and wanted me to rest early.

I lay awake, tossing and turning, thinking about what had happened in the room with Lise that night, and feeling unhappy that I hadn't left her there for the night. He couldn't figure it out, so he sent another message to Sister Li, asking her why she didn't stay at my place during the night.

Sister Li quickly replied, "Little Sun, don't think that way. I'm not looking down on you." I didn't stay because I already had a family. I was a married woman. No matter what my husband does outside, I will never forget that I am a married woman. Even if I go the wrong way, I will never forget to go home. You know, I'm having a very complicated time, living it out in the midst of my mistakes and self-blame every day, and I don't know what to do.

I don't know when I fell asleep that night, but I was exhausted and my mind was full of Sister Li. I dreamt of her again. In my dream, we climbed Mount Hua together. As we climbed, she fell through the air … I was immediately scared awake and was so scared that I was covered in sweat. Seeing that it was about time for me to go to work, I washed my face and rinsed my mouth before going out.

When I arrived at the company, before Bighead and Kiki arrived, I leaned over the table and closed my eyes for a while. When I thought about how I hadn't really started working on the design of Li-jie Cosmetics, I had a lingering fear for the director. I opened the software, first drawing a few simple sketches according to Li-jie's thoughts, then slowly modifying them.

Bighead came to the company and saw me working hard, asking me why I was so early, and if I hadn't slept last night. "Big Sister Du Li, are you together tonight?"

"Nope." Without looking up, I continued to revise my proposal.

"Bullsh * t!" He didn't believe it.

"A dog that lied to you!" I raised my head and spoke in a righteous manner. Bighead glared at me and asked with a puzzled expression, "Where did Sister Li go last night?"

"Going home, where else can I go? I'm a married man, where else can I go?"

"Then this bro will give you a f * cking chance. You're too disappointing." Bighead sighed as he scratched his head.

I said, "Didn't I give you a chance?"

Bighead glanced at Qi Qi and said, "Tsk, a rabbit doesn't eat grass by its nest. Besides, her personality doesn't suit me."

I pushed his head. "Hurry up and get to work."

I continued to modify my plan, opening my QQ from time to time to look at it. Sister Li's profile picture was always dejected, but I still couldn't help but send a message to ask her what she was doing, but it was like a stone sinking into the ocean and didn't reply to me until I got off work.

After work, I left the company. I dialed Li-jie's number, but she turned off her phone. I was a little anxious, after dinner, I went back to my room, leaving a message on QQ. She also didn't reply to me.

This went on for four days. During these four days, I sent a lot of messages to Li-jie, but she didn't reply. She didn't return any calls, and her phone was always switched off. I didn't know what was missing from my body as I slept listlessly into the afternoon. I couldn't understand why Sister Li would ignore me, so I steeled my heart and took a taxi back to Crooked River's home.

At the entrance to the villa complex, I hesitated. Should I go in? In the end, he mustered his courage and entered the villa complex.

Seeing a Mercedes SUV parked in front of her house, she thought she might be home, took a deep breath, and rang the bell.

After a while the door opened and I was about to call Li-jie when another woman appeared in front of me. No, it should be more accurate to say that she was a girl, because she didn't look that old. She was in her twenties and looked like she had just woken up. She had a tired expression on her face as she asked, "Who are you looking for?"

I was startled and asked, "May I ask if elder sister Li is here?"

The woman gave me a disdainful look and turned to shout, "Darling, come and open the door." After saying that, he turned around and walked into the room. Soon, a middle-aged man came down from the second floor and asked, "Who is it?"

The young girl said, "What are you looking for, Sister Li?"

The man came down to me and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

I was a little puzzled and mumbled, "This is Zhou Li's home …"

Before I could finish my sentence, his expression immediately changed and he asked, "Who are you to her?"

It was only then that I remembered this man. He was the one who had quarrelled with Sister Li in the restaurant that day, the husband of Sister Li! That woman must be the legendary Little San right? I quickly racked my brain, not wanting to bring trouble to Li-jie. "Oh, I'm a salesman at the design company. I need to ask her about some business matters."

Only then did her husband's expression lighten a little. "She's not here. She went back to Zhejiang. If you have anything to ask her, just call her."

I said oh, said thank you, and turned away.

As I walked along, I thought about what had just happened. I really felt sorry for Sister Li. How could such a capable and beautiful woman have found such a man? Besides, that girl just now wasn't as pretty as Sister Li. She wasn't as built as Sister Li, wasn't as tall, nor as pretty as Sister Li. The only advantage she had was that she was a little younger than Sister Li.

When I got back from the Qujiang new district, I would call Sister Li every ten minutes or so, but the phone would always be turned off.

In the evening, the sound of rain came from outside the window. Looking at the rain outside the window, I suddenly and particularly miss Li-jie, her beautiful figure often appeared in my mind.

He was so bored at night that he called Bighead and asked if he was going to drink. Bighead was very excited when he heard this. We met at the bar, and when I got there, Bighead was already there, chatting with a yellow-haired woman. I sat down and patted him. When he saw that it was me, he introduced him to the yellow-haired woman as my brother, and the three of them clinked glasses.

Bighead really knew how to stir up the atmosphere. That yellow-haired girl was teased by him to the point of laughing out loud from time to time. I had long gotten tired of hearing all his dirty jokes. I really couldn't laugh at all, so I drank by myself.

Bighead saw me sulking and asked me what was wrong. I said I was fine. From his point of view, we men and women can do whatever we want to each other. We can only be emotional, especially towards those married women. I can't tell him about Li-jie and me.

He didn't know if it was because he was in a bad mood, but it was easier for him to get drunk from drinking wine. I drank a bottle of Chivas with three other people, and then I got a little drunk and lay on the table, not wanting to move. I was surrounded by all sorts of noises, but my mind was very quiet because I was thinking about someone.

After an unknown period of time, someone gently shook my shoulders and asked in a familiar voice, "Zhu Ming, what happened today?"

I looked up and saw that it was Kiki. I wondered why she was here, so I took a deep breath and asked, "Why are you here?"

I glanced at Bighead, who turned his head in a nonchalant way, and said, "Bighead told you to come, didn't he? Why would a girl come here to join in the fun! "

Kiki said, "You think I want to come! If Bighead hadn't told me to bring you back after you drank too much, I wouldn't have come! You don't look like you drank too much. "

I said, "What a joke. Can I drink too much?"

"You sound quite arrogant." "Why don't we go back. It's Monday tomorrow, so don't be late for work."

I looked at my watch. It was pretty late. He looked at Bighead again. He didn't want to disturb him later, so he nodded and said to Bighead, "Bro, let's go first. You take your time."
