Siheyuan: Start with a big car

"Brother Weidong, I didn't disturb you, did I?"

Li Weidong was processing documents in the office. When he heard a knock on the door, he casually said, "Come in."

The door slowly opened and Zhang Ke walked in. She was wearing a light blue blouse today, with her hair neatly tied behind her head, looking particularly fresh.

However, there was still a lingering sense of loneliness in her eyes.

Li Weidong was slightly startled when he saw Zhang Ke. He then put down the documents in his hand, stood up, and asked with a smile, "Zhang Ke, why are you here?"

Zhang Ke bit her lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Li Weidong, I...I want to say thank you to you.

If it weren't for you, I would still be in the dark."

Li Weidong waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, this is also my duty.

Moreover, I don’t want to see anyone being wrongly accused, and of course, I don’t want to see someone making a mistake and getting away with it.”

Zhang Ke lowered his head slightly, his hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of his clothes. After hesitating for a moment, he mustered up the courage to say, "Li Weidong, to thank you, I want to invite you to go to the movies. Do you have time?"

Li Weidong was slightly stunned, looking at Zhang Ke's eyes that were slightly nervous and expectant, and hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Zhang Ke quickly added: "This is the latest movie to be released. I heard it's really good."

Li Weidong thought for a moment and realized that he was really busy with work recently.

It would be nice to watch a movie to relax, and besides, it was hard to refuse Zhang Ke's kindness, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, thank you for your invitation."

Hearing Li Weidong's agreement, Zhang Ke's face suddenly broke into a bright smile, and her cheeks blushed, like peach blossoms blooming in spring.

She whispered, "That's great, I...I'll wait for Li Weidong outside the Xizhimen Cinema.

Let's make a deal, see you after get off work." After saying that, she said goodbye to Li Weidong in a hurry, as if she was afraid that Li Weidong would go back on his word, and turned to leave the office, her steps much lighter.

Li Weidong looked at Zhang Ke's departing back, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
...

On the other hand, Li Yuanchao had been detained for seven or eight days and was almost suffocated.

After taking Yang Ting's 500 yuan, he couldn't wait to go to the pub for a big meal.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, he heard people at the next table talking about

He said that the latest movie "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" was being shown at Xizhimen Cinema, and it was very good. Li Yuanchao immediately became interested, and he stood up and walked towards the cinema unsteadily.

When he arrived at the cinema and was about to pay for the ticket, he looked up and saw Zhang Ke.

At this time, Li Yuanchao had no idea that Zhang Ke already knew about his ugly deeds. An expression of surprise immediately appeared on his face and he hurried over.

"Keke, why are you here?" Li Yuanchao asked with a smile, his tone full of intimacy.

When Zhang Ke saw Li Yuanchao, his face instantly turned cold and his eyes were full of disgust. He didn't want to pay any attention to him and turned around to leave.

Li Yuanchao became anxious when he saw this, and he grabbed Zhang Ke's arm and asked, "Ke Ke, what's wrong with you?

I'm your girlfriend, why did you invite someone else to watch a movie? Who is it?" His voice unconsciously rose a few notes, attracting the attention of people around him.

Zhang Ke shook off Li Yuanchao's hand and said coldly, "Who I watch a movie with has nothing to do with you. Stop pestering me."

Li Yuanchao then realized that his tone was too harsh and he lost his composure, so he quickly put on a smile and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Ke Ke, don't be angry.

I just care about you. Did you go to the movies with the sisters in the compound? "

Just then, Zhang Ke saw Li Weidong walking towards him from a distance.

She seemed to have seen a savior, and a trace of joy flashed in her eyes

He quickly walked over, a gentle smile on his face, and took the initiative to greet him: "Li Weidong, you are finally here."

As he spoke, he reached out and smoothed the hair by his ear affectionately.

When Li Yuanchao saw the two being so intimate, he immediately became furious, and the anger in his heart suddenly rose up.

His eyes widened as he stared at Li Weidong viciously. He rushed forward and shouted, "Li Weidong, what do you mean? Why are you with Zhang Ke? Do you know that she is my girlfriend?"

Before Li Weidong could say anything, Zhang Ke was so angry that he was shaking all over, pointing at Li Yuanchao's nose and angrily shouted: "How dare you say that!

Don't think I don't know about the ugly things you did in your relationship with other men and women! From now on, I have nothing to do with you!"

When Li Yuanchao heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that Zhang Ke already knew all this.

His eyes rolled, and he quickly denied it, saying with a wronged look on his face: "Keke, don't listen to Li Weidong's nonsense. He is deliberately framing me and trying to sow discord between us! Don't fall for his trick!"

As he spoke, he reached out to pull Zhang Ke's arm, trying to save the situation.

Zhang Ke shook off Li Yuanchao's arm in disgust, his eyes full of determination.

Li Yuanchao was furious, the muscles on his face twitched slightly with anger, and he reached out his hand again, trying to forcibly hold Zhang Ke.

At this moment, Li Weidong was quick to grab Li Yuanchao's arm, swung him hard, pushed him away, and said coldly: "Get out of here! Don't keep pestering me here."

Li Yuanchao staggered and almost fell.

After stabilizing himself, he was so angry that his face turned red. He glared at Li Weidong and shouted angrily, "Li Weidong, you despicable villain, how dare you steal my girlfriend! Who do you think you are!"

At this time, many young people who were waiting to watch a movie were attracted by the noise here and gathered around.

They didn't understand what was going on and just watched Li Weidong and Li Yuanchao arguing, pointing fingers at Li Weidong.

"What's wrong with this guy? He's stealing someone else's girlfriend."

"That's right, it's too immoral."

Facing the pointing and criticizing of the people around her, Zhang Ke was extremely anxious. She took a deep breath and said loudly: "Don't misunderstand!

I have no relationship with Li Yuanchao for a long time. He is a hooligan! He has sex with both men and women and has done many immoral things. I misjudged him.

I specifically asked Li Weidong to come watch a movie today, it has nothing to do with him!"

When Li Yuanchao heard what Zhang Ke said, he was so angry that his face turned red.

His eyes were red, and he roared at Zhang Ke like an angry beast: "Zhang Ke, stop slandering me! This is all Li Weidong's doing, he is the one who is trying to sow discord!"

However, the onlookers listened to Zhang Ke's words
Looking at Li Yuanchao's frustrated look, the balance in his heart gradually tilted, and he began to point fingers at Li Yuanchao.

"Hey, this guy doesn't look like a good person."

"That's right. Maybe he really did something bad. The girl said so."

"Humph, you are the first to complain. How shameless."

The discussions of the crowd were like sharp blades, stabbing Li Yuanchao.

Li Yuanchao was convinced that Li Weidong was behind all this and he could no longer suppress his anger.

He suddenly yelled, and the muscles in his neck tensed.
Like an enraged bull, he raised his right fist high and smashed it hard towards Li Weidong's face with a whistling sound.

This punch was so powerful that if Li Weidong was hit, he would probably be injured on the spot.

However, Li Weidong was prepared. His eyes were stern and he locked onto Li Yuanchao's movements. Just as the fist was about to hit him,

Li Weidong dodged to the left and rear quickly, while raising his left arm to accurately block Li Yuanchao's attack route, thus removing most of the force of the punch.

Then, Li Weidong took advantage of the moment when Li Yuanchao's old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated, and quickly raised his right leg. His knee was like a sledgehammer, slamming hard into Li Yuanchao's abdomen.

Li Yuanchao was unable to dodge and was hit by the blow. He groaned, his body bent forward involuntarily, and he subconsciously covered his stomach with his hands.

Li Weidong did not stop there. He took advantage of the victory and grabbed Li Yuanchao's collar with his left hand.

He pulled back with force, causing Li Yuanchao to lose balance and fall backwards.

At the same time, Li Weidong clenched his right fist and threw a swift hook from bottom to top, hitting Li Yuanchao's chin.

The punch was so powerful that Li Yuanchao's teeth chattered and a bloody taste instantly filled his mouth.

His body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The crowd watching around exclaimed in amazement, stunned by Li Weidong's quick and agile skills.

"Let's go, Zhang Ke. There's no need for us to waste time here with this little hooligan."

Li Weidong looked calm and spoke to Zhang Ke in a peaceful tone.

After saying that, he gently took Zhang Ke's arm, with natural and gentlemanly movements, and led her towards the entrance of the cinema.

Zhang Ke looked back at Li Yuanchao who was lying on the ground in a state of disgrace.

A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, including disgust and a hint of loneliness for the loss of past love.

However, under Li Weidong's lead imprint, she quickly turned around and followed Li Weidong's footsteps into the cinema.

Li Yuanchao, lying on the ground, looked at the two people's backs gradually going away, the anger in his heart burning fiercely, as if it was going to devour him whole.

His eyes were red as he stared at the direction where Li Weidong and Zhang Ke left. He clenched his teeth so tightly that they almost broke. He squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Damn Li Weidong, I will never let you go!"

Li Weidong didn't take Li Yuanchao seriously at all. This guy was already a trapped dog.

After he and Zhang Ke finished watching the movie, Li Weidong said that since Zhang Ke invited him to watch the movie, he would invite Zhang Ke to dinner. Zhang Ke agreed.

When the two of them left the cinema, night had already fallen quietly, and dim lights were lit up in the streets and alleys.

Seeing that Zhang Ke still looked a little depressed, Li Weidong suggested, "Let's go eat something and relax." Then he took her to the pub they often visited.

The proprietress of the pub, Xu Huizhen, was standing behind the counter wiping wine glasses. She looked up and saw Li Weidong leading a little girl in, and a trace of loneliness flashed across her eyes.

However, she quickly adjusted her mood, put on a warm smile again, and walked up to greet him, "Brother Li, how come you have time to come today, and bring guests with you."

The greatest advantage of Xu Huizhen as a woman is that she can put herself in the right position.

She knew very well that there was no comparison between her and the young girls around Li Weidong.

Her only advantage is that she makes good wine, and she is also very sensible.

Don't make trouble over trivial matters.

Xu Huizhen knew better that if she got jealous, she would only bring trouble upon herself.

Li Weidong smiled and nodded, and said familiarly: "Sister Huizhen, as usual, give us some signature meat dishes and warm up two pots of old wine."

Xu Huizhen responded and turned around to get busy.

When the food and wine were served, Zhang Ke was still in a low mood.

She picked up the wine glass, drank it in one gulp, and then began to angrily denounce Li Yuanchao's various faults.
He became more and more excited as he talked, drinking one glass of wine after another.

Li Weidong felt distressed and quickly advised: "Zhang Ke, don't drink too quickly, it will hurt your body."

But Zhang Ke seemed not to hear it and couldn't stop at all.

Li Weidong tried to persuade her several times, but to no avail. He could only helplessly let her drink.

After a while, Zhang Ke became drunk, his eyes became blurry, and he fell on the table unconscious.

Li Weidong called her softly a few times: "Zhang Ke, Zhang Ke?"

Seeing that she had no reaction, I couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

He raised his head and said to Xu Huizhen, "Sister Xu, please prepare a room for her to rest first."

When Xu Huizhen heard this, she suddenly felt angry.

Li Weidong hadn't come to see her much recently, but now he brought a little girl to drink and asked her to arrange a room for her.

She couldn't help but mutter, "You're so nice. You haven't been here for a long time, and you're looking for trouble as soon as you come."

Li Weidong heard the dissatisfaction in her tone and quickly smiled and said, "Sister Xu, I'm really sorry.

How about I take you for a drive in the suburbs next week when I'm free?"

When Xu Huizhen heard this, her face immediately turned from cloudy to bright, and she smiled happily and said, "Okay, it's settled."

After that, he ran upstairs happily and cleaned up a clean and tidy room.

Li Weidong carefully helped Zhang Ke, who was slumped on the table, up, let her arms rest on his shoulders, and then he embraced her firmly and helped her up steadily.

Zhang Ke was drunk and confused, his head drooping limply, and he mumbled a few unclear words from time to time.

Li Weidong took some effort to half-carry and half-support her through the narrow corridor and came to the room on the second floor that Xu Huizhen had just cleaned.

As soon as he entered the room, he walked towards the bed, trying to make his steps as light as possible for fear of disturbing Zhang Ke.

When he reached the bed, Li Weidong bent down slightly, and gently moved his hands to place Zhang Ke steadily on the bed.

Her hair was a little messy and scattered around her cheeks. Li Weidong gently helped her brush it behind her ears.

Then he reached out and picked up the neatly folded quilt beside him, slowly unfolded it, gently covered Zhang Ke with it, and carefully tucked in the corners to ensure that she would not catch a cold.

After doing all this, Li Weidong stood up, looked at the sleeping Zhang Ke, sighed softly, and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Zhang Ke suddenly sat up and hugged Li Weidong from behind: "Brother Weidong, don't leave."

Li Weidong didn't expect Zhang Ke to wake up suddenly. He smiled and said, "You take a rest first. I'll take you back tomorrow."

Having said this, Li Weidong was about to leave.

Zhang Ke suddenly stood up and threw herself into his arms: "Brother Weidong, I like you. Don't leave!"

Li Weidong was stunned.

The night was quiet.
