Chapter 17 What are you doing?
The sudden sound of the mobile phone broke the delicate atmosphere between the two.

Jiang Chi heaved a sigh of relief and realized that the voice came from the pocket of the windbreaker. From her angle, she saw the man's jaw move twice.

"You take it."

Jiang Chi was still a little scared. He grabbed the man's sweater sleeve with one hand, and fumbled for the phone in his pocket with the other hand. He took it out and tapped on it. A woman's voice came across,
"Xie Cun, let me tell you, if you don't come back this week, you will never go home for the rest of your life."

……

Jiang Chi didn't figure out what was going on, and he didn't dare to act rashly, feeling that he had taken a hot potato.

The man said to the person on the phone while holding her and walking towards the elevator,

"Go back this week."

The voice of the woman opposite suddenly became louder.
"I can't control you anymore, can I? You're almost thirty and you don't have a date yet. You're not happy to let you go home."

She knew who it was.

But in her impression, mother Xie seldom speaks so aggressively.

Jiang Chi silently tugged on Xie Cun's sleeve, and saw three words written on the small sign standing at the elevator door - under maintenance.

Xie Cun glanced at the sign lightly, and carried her to the stairs. Mother Xie didn't care if there was any reply on the phone, and continued,
"I almost forgot about the serious business that made you angry. I heard that you have a partner. In order to give you a blind date, my mother has recognized all the daughters in the community and colleagues' homes. Why are you at odds when you quietly have a partner? The family said, amuse me, right? I have a lot of free time all day, right, I just find someone for you!"

Jiang Chi saw Xie Cun frowned, and a man's voice came from above his head,
"Where did you hear it from?"

Jiang Chi suddenly had a bad premonition, swallowed, and heard Mother Xie on the phone say,
"Just the sister-in-law of your community."

Xie Cun noticed Jiang Chi's absent-mindedness, hugged him a little tighter to prevent him from falling, and walked up the stairs,

"Which one is Mrs. Guan?"

Mama Xie paused and said,
"Which one do you care about her? What's going on with the object."

Xie Cun replied impatiently,

"No object, don't mention it."

Mama Xie was quiet for two or three seconds, and Mama Xie's suspicious voice came from the phone again,

"What are you doing over there, what are you breathing for?"

The topic about the object is over, Xie Cun's tone improved, and he said,
"Go upstairs."

Mother Xie muttered a few words in a low voice, but Jiang Chi couldn't hear clearly through the phone, and then the phone was hung up.

Jiang Chi put the phone back into the windbreaker pocket, just as he wanted the other party to put him down, to show that she could go by herself, when he looked up, he saw the door of his house.

"..."

Jiang Chi stepped on the ground, and his injured foot didn't feel any force or pain.

Xie Cun picked up the clothes she handed over and made a gesture to leave, Jiang Chi hurriedly said,

"Wait a minute."

The man turned his back, and his eyes fell on her.

Jiang Chi licked his lips unconsciously, explaining,

"I'll return your clothes."

The clothes were distributed at the entrance where the door was opened, not far away. Jiang Chi unscrewed the door lock, turned on the light, ignored the bread rushing to him, took the clothes, walked back to the door with small steps, and handed the clothes over. .

Xie Cun looked away from the white cat lying on her shoulder, and said,

"Ah."

Jiang Chi closed the door, stroked the cat, and walked slowly to the living room to turn on the TV.
