On a warm weekend afternoon, 25-year-old Li Xiaoli was sitting on the sofa in her living room, intently watching the news on her phone screen. Her good friend Wang Fang, a lively and cheerful girl, came over with two cups of hot tea.
"Hey, Xiaoli, why are you sitting here alone in a daze? Come and relax with a cup of tea. Wang Fang handed the teacup to Li Xiaoli and sat down beside her.
Li Xiaoli raised her head and showed a faint smile at Wang Fang, "I'm fine, I'm just watching the recent news and learning about social dynamics." "
"Gee, why are you always so serious? Relax once in a while. It's the weekend, so why don't we go out shopping, buy some new clothes, and have a good meal?" Wang Fang looked at Li Xiaoli expectantly.
Li Xiaoli thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I just want to go out for a walk." "
The two girls happily walked out of the house and walked along the familiar street towards the business district. The colorful shops on both sides of the street attract passers-by to stop and watch. Li Xiaoli and Wang Fang were picking out their favorite clothes in various clothing stores, and from time to time they let out exclamations and laughter.
"This dress is so beautiful, I think it suits you perfectly, try it out!" Wang Fang took a light blue dress and handed it to Li Xiaoli.
Li Xiaoli took the clothes and walked into the fitting room to carefully look at herself in the mirror. "Well, it's really good, I like it." She nodded in satisfaction.
The two girls wandered through the shops again, and finally picked out a lot of items they liked, and walked happily towards the restaurant.
"What should we eat today? Do you have anything you'd like to eat?" Wang Fang asked.
"I've been craving pasta lately, why don't we try it at that new Italian restaurant?" Li Xiaoli proposed.
"Okay, let's go there. I've heard that their pasta is super delicious!" Wang Fang said excitedly.
The two girls pushed open the door of the restaurant, and the interior was exceptionally warm and full of exotic atmosphere. They were ushered into a window seat, eager to look at the menu.
"Wow, it looks so tempting! I order this tomato seafood pasta, what do you order?" Wang Fang asked.
"I ordered this creamy bacon pasta, and it sounds pretty good." Li Xiaoli said and closed the menu.
The waiter quickly served two servings of hot pasta, and the aroma was overflowing. The two girls tasted with great interest, and from time to time they let out sounds of admiration.
"It's really delicious! The taste of this restaurant really didn't disappoint me. Wang Fang praised while eating.
"yes, it tastes really good. Let's come here often to eat in the future. Li Xiaoli couldn't help but admire.
The two girls chatted over a delicious dinner and talked about their recent lives and work. They encourage and support each other, as if they can feel each other's happiness.
In the restaurant, Li Xiaoli and Wang Fang chatted while enjoying delicious pasta.
"By the way, have you made any progress in your work lately?" Wang Fang asked curiously.
"Well, it's going well. Recently, the company had a big project to do, and I was assigned to participate in it, which was quite challenging. Li Xiaoli nodded lightly.
"Wow, that's awesome! You're sure to do a great job. You must be tired from working so hard lately, right? Why don't you take advantage of the weekend to relax?" Wang Fang said with concern.
"It's okay, I'm a bit busy, but I'm still enjoying my job. But you're right, it's important to relax once in a while. Li Xiaoli smiled slightly.
The two girls chatted while eating, bursting into bursts of laughter from time to time. When they were done, they checked out and left the restaurant, walking slowly down the familiar street.
"It's been so much fun today, it's been a long time since we've been so relaxed." Wang Fang stretched and said with satisfaction.
"Yes, it's rare that we can find time to have a good chat, and I feel a lot more relaxed physically and mentally." Li Xiaoli couldn't help but smile.
The two girls chatted for a while, and before they knew it, they had walked downstairs to Li Xiaoli's apartment.
"Then let's go here, you go back and rest, see you tomorrow!" Wang Fang waved at Li Xiaoli.
"Okay, you can go back and rest early. See you tomorrow!" Li Xiaoli watched Wang Fang leave, and then pushed open the door of the apartment.
The moment she opened the door, Li Xiaoli felt that something was different in the house. The light in the living room was a little dim, and her husband Li Gang was sitting on the sofa, his face a little gloomy.
"You're back." Li Gang said coldly.
"I'm back, what's wrong, you look a little unhappy?" Li Xiaoli asked with some confusion.
"Not happy? Of course I'm not happy! You went out with Wang Fang all afternoon today, and you didn't even call me!" Li Gang's tone was a little excited.
"Ah, I'm sorry, we played so much that we forgot to call you. Don't be angry, we just went out for a meal. Li Xiaoli hurriedly explained.
"Just going out for a meal? You think I don't know what you two are up there going on?" Li Gang stood up with a little doubt in his eyes.
"What are you talking about? We're really just normal friends chatting, how can you think that?" Li Xiaoli was a little puzzled.
"Hmph, friends chatting? I think you two just have some ulterior secrets! Have you forgotten the last time I found out you were looking at that disc?" Li Gang said with a sneer.
Li Xiaoli suddenly understood that her husband was suspecting that there was some improper relationship between her and Wang Fang. She hurriedly explained, "We've explained that to you many times, we really just saw it by accident, and there is nothing wrong with it. Why are you always so suspicious?"
"Suspicious? Hmph, I don't believe you two are innocent! I think you're hiding something from me!" Li Gang's tone became more and more excited.
"Can you calm down? We really didn't do anything, why are you always so suspicious? We've been good friends for years, don't you believe me?" Li Xiaoli was also a little angry.
"Trust you? Why should I believe you? You two are avoiding me all at once, there must be some ulterior secret!" The more Li Gang spoke, the more excited he became.
"I really didn't hide anything from you! Why don't you believe me?" Li Xiaoli also raised her voice, and the two fell into a fierce quarrel.
The atmosphere of quarrel spread in the small apartment, and Li Xiaoli and Li Gang both had blue faces and high emotions.
"Why don't you believe me? We're husband and wife, don't you trust me a little bit?" Li Xiaoli's eyes were filled with tears, and her tone was full of grievances.
"Trust you? Do you think I'm a fool? What I see is the truth, there must be something unsightly between you and Wang Fang!" Li Gang said with a sneer.
"What the hell are you trying to say? The two of us didn't do anything, why don't you believe me?" Li Xiaoli was emotional, and her voice improved a lot.
"Hmph, you think I don't know what you two are up there to do? I think you just have some shady secret!" Li Gang stared at Li Xiaoli, his eyes full of suspicion.
The two men were arguing louder and louder, and the sharp and piercing sound echoed in the small apartment. Neighbors looked over and couldn't help but feel worried about the couple.
"What is it? What the hell are you trying to say?" Li Xiaoli asked anxiously.
Li Xiaoli was suddenly shocked by this question, her eyes widened, and she looked at her husband in disbelief, "Are you crazy?" The two of us are good friends, how can we be lovers?"
"Hmph, do you think I don't know what the two of you have to do with each other? Did I find out last time that you were looking at that kind of disc as a fake?" Li Gang's eyes were full of jealousy and anger.
"I've told you so many times, it was just an accident, the two of us didn't do anything!" Li Xiaoli felt helpless and hopeless, and she really couldn't understand why her husband was so suspicious.
"Accidents? Do you think I'm going to believe you? I think you just have some shady secrets to hide from me!" Li Gang's voice grew louder and louder, as if he was about to shatter the entire apartment.
"What the hell are you trying to say? What exactly do you want to suspect? We really didn't do anything, why don't you just believe me?" The tears in Li Xiaoli's eyes finally fell, and she felt that she was about to collapse.
"Trust you? Hmph, I think you two are just fooling around outside, cheating behind my back!" Li Gang slammed his fist on the table, making a loud noise.
"Are you crazy? The two of us really are just friends! Why are you always so suspicious?" Li Xiaoli cried and said.
The two men quarreled one after another, and the neighbors poked their heads out, worried about what would happen to the couple.
Just then, a familiar figure appeared at the door. It was Wang Fang, she heard the movement upstairs and hurriedly ran up.
"What's going on? What are you two arguing about?" Wang Fang asked anxiously.
"Get out of here! This is a matter between husband and wife, and you don't need to worry about it!" Li Gang glared at Wang Fang fiercely, his tone full of hostility.
"What? Are you arguing? What's going on?" Wang Fang looked at Li Xiaoli suspiciously.
"It's nothing, you go quickly, it's our family's business." Li Xiaoli wiped her tears and tried to get Wang Fang to leave.
"No, I'm not leaving! What the hell happened to you two?" Wang Fang insisted on knowing the truth.
"Don't pretend you don't know! You two must have some shady secrets!" Li Gang suddenly pointed at Wang Fang, his voice full of anger.
"What? What secrets do we have? What nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Fang looked dazed.
"You two are just fooling around outside, cheating behind my back!" Li Gang's voice became higher and higher-pitched, as if he wanted to swallow the whole world into it.
"What? What are you talking about? Li Xiaoli and I are just ordinary friends, nothing happened between us!" Wang Fang was also anxious and didn't know how to explain.
At this moment, a loud bang suddenly sounded, and Li Gang slammed his fist against the wall, making a deafening sound.
"You two get out of here! I don't want to see you two again!" Li Gang roared angrily, his eyes full of madness.
In Li Gang's angry state, Li Xiaoli and Wang Fang were at a loss. The two girls looked at each other, not knowing how to resolve the fierce conflict in front of them.
"Li Gang, can you calm down? We really didn't do anything, why don't you believe us?" Li Xiaoli tried to persuade her husband in a calm tone.
"Don't believe you? Hmph, I think you two are hiding some nasty secrets from me!" Li Gang's eyes were red, as if he was about to pounce in the next second.
"Li Gang, calm down! We really didn't do anything, why don't you believe us?" Wang Fang also anxiously persuaded him.
"Shut up! You two are just fooling around outside and cheating behind my back!" Li Gang suddenly rushed towards Wang Fang and grabbed her neck tightly with both hands.
"Ahh Li Gang, you let her go!" Li Xiaoli screamed in horror and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Li Gang away.
But Li Gang completely lost his mind, he stared at Wang Fang deadly, his eyes were full of madness and jealousy, "You two are just fooling around outside, cheating behind my back!" I'm never going to trust you again!"
"Li Gang, please let her go! We really didn't do anything, you let her go!" Li Xiaoli cried, tears streaming down her face.
At this moment, a powerful force suddenly attacked from behind, dragging Li Gang off Wang Fang's body. It turned out that the neighbors downstairs rushed up after hearing the movement and worked together to subdue Li Gang.
"Hurry up and call the police! This man is crazy and he wants to hurt us!" Li Xiaoli shouted anxiously.
After a while, the police arrived at the scene. They quickly brought Li Gang under control and took him away. Li Xiaoli and Wang Fang were sent to the hospital for examination.
In the corridor of the hospital, Li Xiaoli sat in a chair and burst into tears. Wang Fang gently patted her on the back, trying to comfort her.
"Xiaoli, don't be sad, it's not your fault." Wang Fang said softly.
"No, it's all my fault. I should have told Li Gang earlier that nothing really happened between us. Now he's like this, it's all because of me!" Li Xiaoli choked up.
"Don't say that, it's not your fault at all. Li Gang's actions are entirely his own problem, and you shouldn't blame yourself for it. Wang Fang comforted softly.
"But if we hadn't done that, maybe it wouldn't have happened. Now Li Gang has been taken away by the police, and it's all because of us. Li Xiaoli said sadly.
"Xiaoli, don't think like that. The two of us did stumble upon the disc, but that was in the past. The most important thing now is to make Li Gang understand that nothing really happened between us. Wang Fang held Li Xiaoli's hand.
But how could he believe us? He's completely out of his mind. Li Xiaoli lamented.
"We'll find a way. The most important thing now is that you take care of yourself and don't be sad. Wang Fang gently hugged Li Xiaoli and tried to give her strength.
At this moment, a doctor walked over, "Ms. Li Xiaoli, I have something to discuss with you. "
Li Xiaoli wiped her tears and looked up at the doctor, "What's the matter?"
"When we checked on your husband, we found that he may have some mental problems. We recommend that you arrange for him to have a professional psychological evaluation and treatment as soon as possible. The doctor said.
"Mental problems?" Li Xiaoli asked in surprise.
"Yes, based on our preliminary judgment, your husband may have some severe symptoms of delusion. We recommend that you take appropriate measures as soon as possible to avoid more serious consequences. The doctor said solemnly.
Wang Fang gently held Li Xiaoli's hand, "Don't worry, I will always be by your side." We will definitely find a way to solve this problem. "
Li Xiaoli looked up at her friend, her eyes full of gratitude, "Thank you, Fang." I don't really know what to do. "
"Don't worry, we'll figure it out. Believe that everything will be fine. Wang Fang comforted Li Xiaoli softly.
At this difficult time, Li Xiaoli felt that she was not alone. With the support and companionship of her friend Wang Fang, she believes that she will be able to overcome this difficulty and get everything back on track.
