Too thin-skinned and easy to lose a wife

Zhao Lu should be glad that the electricity was cut off, so at least Yang Yi wouldn't notice her strangeness.

"It's fine." Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, straightened the fluorescent lamp in his hand, and shone it on her face.

Zhao Lu quickly turned his head away.

Suddenly, there was a tidal wave of cheers outside, and the whole room lit up with a "bass".

"A call is coming!" followed by Yang Yi's joyful voice.

Zhao Lu looked at the incandescent lamp above his head, feeling a little complicated.

Say stop and stop, come and say, this change is too fast, right?

Yang Yi turned off the fluorescent light and said, "I expected it wouldn't last long. Why is your face so red?"

Zhao Lu's heart skipped a beat when she saw her, and he touched his hot face, pretending to be calm: "It was very hot when the power went out just now, don't you feel hot?"

A power outage in summer is indeed fatal, Yang Yi has no doubts about him: "Then I'll turn on the air conditioner."

When the two passed by, Zhao Lu obviously felt her heart beating faster, and she tried to adjust her breathing.

Yang Yi put the fluorescent lamp into the drawer, found the remote control and turned on the air conditioner.

The air-conditioning blew "whoosh" and poured Zhao Lu thoroughly from top to bottom. She woke up instantly, gathered herself together, and said, "Hurry up and move now, lest there will be another power failure later."

Half of the books on the ground are reference books, and half are Chinese and foreign classics.Zhao Lu didn't know how Yang Yi had placed it before, so she picked it up for her and handed it to Yang Yi to put it on the bookcase.

"Have you read all these books?"

"Of course I can't read all of them. Some books were sent by Zheng Hao, and they are still very new. I haven't read them much. Would you like to take a few back to read?"

Zhao Lu is a mediocre person through and through. She didn't like to read since she was a child. After thinking for a while, she decided to follow her heart: "Forget it. I've been very busy recently. I don't think I have time to read if I take it away."

Yang Yi didn't force it.

Among them is a thick English-Chinese dictionary, the cover looks a bit old.Zhao Lu was suddenly reminded by it of his school days, and said, "I used to have one too. This should be used when I was in high school, right? You still keep it after it's broken like this."

Yang Yi explained: "Sometimes when reading materials, I will use English when I don't understand it."

Zhao Lu opened it unconsciously, and his attention was attracted by the graffiti on the first blank page.There are two small animals drawn on the yellowed paper, the painting style is sprouting and cute.

She raised her eyelids, looked at the person opposite, and asked, "Did you draw it?"

The broken hair on her forehead left shadows around her eyes, Yang Yi smiled lightly and said, "I used to be bored drawing for fun."

Zhao Lu pointed to the cute little snake: "Is it you who drew it? I remember you are a snake."

"Yeah." Yang Yi remained calm.

"Then..." She wanted to ask who the pony next to him represented, but she held back abruptly.

After closing the cover, Zhao Lu handed over the dictionary.When she bent down to pick up other books, there was a crisp sound of "stab" in her ear, she suddenly raised her head, and found that Yang Yi had actually torn off the page just now.

Zhao Lu was shocked: "Why did you tear it up?"

Yang Yi rolled the paper into a ball, threw it into the trash can under the table, and said lightly: "The painting is too ugly, Zheng Hao can't find it, otherwise he will definitely use it to laugh at me."

"Ugly...?"

Obviously very cute and cute.Yang Yi made up this reason too far-fetched, right?

The air-conditioning made his back feel cold, Zhao Lu shrank his neck, glanced at the trash can hidden under the table, and said, "If the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when she bent down again, she vaguely heard Yang Yi softly "hmm".

It was past 10:30 after finishing all the books. Both of them were a little tired and walked out of the study.

"Thank you so much for tonight."

"Can you stop being so polite to me? Say thank you and see you later."

Yang Yi laughed: "Then I won't talk anymore, I'll treat you to dinner another day. It's getting late, go back to sleep."

Zhao Lu stretched his face: "Are you chasing me?"

"Yeah, it's a good habit to go to bed early and get up early."

Zhao Lu didn't move, but rolled his eyes and said, "Where's the cat? I haven't seen what it looks like just now?"

Yang Yi searched around but couldn't find it: "Maybe he hid in a corner and went to sleep, or maybe he was frightened."

Zhao Lu had no choice but to give up: "Okay, I'll touch it another day. You go to bed early too, good night."

"Good night."

It is not advisable to do strenuous exercise before going to bed, otherwise it is easy to suffer from insomnia and dreaminess.

Zhao Lu did not suffer from insomnia, but had a messy dream.

In the dream, she was chasing a white cat. The white cat ran fast with agility. She jumped up anxiously and rushed forward, and managed to catch the little thing.

The white cat was round and fat, and "meow meow meow" acted like a baby to her.Zhao Lu felt affectionate, and just as he stretched out his hand to touch its head, the style of the painting changed suddenly, and the white cat in his hand turned into a small green snake, writhing in her palm, opened its bloody mouth and aimed it at her neck fiercely took a bite...

Zhao Lu woke up in a panic, sweating profusely and panting.

The room was stuffy and hot, she wiped the sweat from her brow, and searched for the bedside lamp in the dark.I pressed the switch, but the light didn't come on.

Damn it, the power went out again.

……

In midsummer, it rained again and again.

It was a rare leisure weekend. Zhao Lu and Yang Yi had agreed to go out to eat, but before they could go out, the rain poured down.

The heavy rain outside dispelled the sweltering heat, and the air conditioner in the room did not need to be turned on, so the room was peaceful.

Such a good atmosphere is suitable for staying at home watching movies, teasing cats, shopping and so on.

Zhao Lu didn't sleep very well these few days, and she didn't want to get up again after going to the soft sofa.Fat Ball squatted on her lap, and made a "snoring" sound under the touch of her palm.

Zhao Lu was hypnotized by its voice, his eyes gradually narrowed.

A beautiful figure stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Yang Yi observed the rain for a while and said, "This kind of rain usually doesn't fall soon, why don't we wait?"

There was only the sound of Fat Ball snoring behind him.

After getting no response for a long time, Yang Yi turned around and found that Zhao Lu was not in the state.She drew the curtains, approached quietly, and touched the head that was about to lower.

"Huh?" Zhao Lu woke up with a jolt, "What did you say?"

Yang Yi saw the bloodshot eyes clearly: "Did you not sleep well last night?"

Zhao Lu covered his mouth with his hand and yawned, "I'm having a nightmare."

"What nightmare?"

Zhao Lu lowered his eyes, glanced at her pale lips, and said bitterly: "I dreamed that you bit me."

"..." Yang Yi was stunned for a while, "You're joking again."

Zhao Lu didn't intend to explain, stretched his waist, and said, "It's raining so hard, why don't you go out and order takeaway."

"Didn't you say you wanted to go to the mall?"

That was the original plan.Knowing Yang Yi for so long, Zhao Lu has never gone shopping together.But the heavy rain was too disappointing, the sofa was so comfortable, she didn't want to move at all now, and said with a smile: "You can still go shopping tomorrow."

"The weather forecast says it will rain tomorrow."

"Then...we'll talk about it later."

Zhao Lu changed Fat Qiu's position, and suddenly heard the phone ring.

"Hello?" Yang Yi stood next to her to answer the phone, "Come here now, it's raining and Zhao Lu and I are stuck at home, bring us something to eat when you come."

Zhao Lu watched her put away her phone and asked, "Is it Zheng Hao?"

"Yeah. He came back last night, maybe he's coming to pick up the fat ball."

Zhao Lu's expression froze, he looked at the white cat on his lap, and felt a little bit reluctant: "Is it going to be picked up so soon?"

Yang Yi sat down beside her, stroked the soft fur of the fat ball, and said, "He raised it, and I'm only responsible for looking after it for a few days."

Zhao Lu sighed: "Fat Qiu, you will be picked up within less than an hour of our acquaintance. It seems that you and I are destined to miss each other."

Yang Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Since you like cats so much, why don't you raise one yourself?"

"I live with others, so it's inconvenient to keep pets."

Yang Yi said no more.

Zheng Hao packed a lot of delicious food and came over, including fried dishes and drinks, and the service was thoughtful. He watched them eat while he teased the cat by himself.

Yang Yi called him: "The two of us can't finish eating, so you can eat some too."

"Don't eat, I have no appetite."

Yang Yi didn't think deeply: "Too tired from the business trip?"

Zheng Hao carried Fat Ball to the sofa and let him play by himself, pulled out the chair and sat down, sighing: "How can you still have the appetite to eat after a broken relationship?"

Yang Yi's eyes widened: "When?"

Zheng Hao played with the key ring with one hand, and said casually: "Last week, didn't Zhao Lu dump me on the phone?"

Zhao Lu was sucking glutinous rice balls, a small thing the size of a thumb, she didn't even bite it, "Gulu" swallowed it all at once, stuck in her throat and couldn't get it up or out, her little face flushed instantly.

Yang Yi's face changed suddenly, and he asked her, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Lu pointed to the glutinous rice balls in the food box, and then pointed to the throat, unable to speak out due to the unbearable pain.

Zheng Hao put away the joke: "Are you choking?"

Zhao Lu nodded hurriedly.

Yang Yi glared at him, patted Zhao Lu's back with one hand to help her calm down, and with the other hand picked up the bowl of glutinous rice balls and handed them to her mouth: "Drink some soup."

Zhao Lu finished a bowl of ginger soup before swallowing the glutinous rice balls. She breathed unsteadily, looked at Zheng Hao on the opposite side, and said aggrievedly: "It's your sister, cough, she asked me to do this."

Yang Yi blushed and then turned pale, and said, "Well, it's all my fault."

In order to avoid irritating Zhao Lu by saying the wrong thing again, Zheng Hao slipped away to tease the cat again.A few meters away, he said: "I have to go to Sanya next week, Fat Ball still has to ask you to take care of me."

Yang Yi let out a "hmm", and lowered his head to check Zhao Lu's situation: "Is it better?"

Zhao Lu's cheeks were still a little red, and he stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist, saying, "It's okay, don't take pictures."

The two continued to eat.

The heavy rain finally stopped for nearly half an hour, and Zheng Hao was about to leave with a handful of rubbish in hand.

"I'll go down with you." Zhao Lu followed him into the elevator.

There were only the two of them in the elevator, Zhao Lu thought for a while and asked, "How is your grandfather?"

"I was discharged from the hospital a few days ago, but about me and you... I haven't thought about how to tell him."

With a "ding", the elevator reached the sixth floor.

Zhao Lu pressed the elevator door and looked at him vigilantly: "You'd better find a chance to make it clear to them, anyway, I won't help you in the future."

Zheng Hao pretended to be injured, and put one hand on his chest: "What a heartless woman."

Zhao Lu gave him a blank look.

Zheng Hao didn't care, seeing her standing still: "Why don't you go?"

Zhao Lu bit his lower lip, and asked bluntly, "Is Yang Yi's best friend one year younger than her?"

Zheng Hao was stunned: "You mean Qian Ziyu?"

Zhao Lu nodded.

"It seems so, why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing, just ask casually. Bye." Zhao Lu let go of the elevator door and quickly flashed out.

……

Sound bar.

Business was so good on the weekend night, Zhao Lu walked through the swaying figures, and found He Yun at the bar counter who was lighting cigarettes for the guests.

He Yun whistled to her and said, "I haven't seen you for so long, I thought you were missing."

Zhao Lu smiled wryly: "I was too busy a while ago."

"What are you talking about? Speak up so you can't hear it."

Zhao Lu leaned close to her ear and said, "Go upstairs."

He Yun understood, and put the key into her hand: "You go up first, I will come soon."

Zhao Lu took the key and turned around to leave. In the process, she met Yu Ning and Mimi, and she greeted them.

"Do you want to play together?" Yuning waved her body to invite her.

Zhao Lu refused with a smile, and moved on.

After waiting in the room for more than ten minutes, she went to the bathroom, came out and sat for a while before He Yun came up slowly.

Kicking off her high heels, He Yun walked towards her barefoot, sat down on the sofa, and squinted at her: "What's the matter, tell me."

Zhao Lu was vague: "What's the matter...can I come and see you?"

He Yun snorted: "Come on, I don't know you yet. There are only two reasons for you to come to me. Either you are free, or you have something on your mind and have no place to vent it. Are you busy recently?"

"..." Zhao Lu was speechless.

He Yun lit a cigarette and said slowly, "What's bothering you this time?"

It is difficult to pretend to be deep in front of He Yun, who has seen countless people. Now that he has been seen through, Zhao Lu simply confessed: "Yang Yi, do you still remember?"

He Yun recalled it for a while, and said, "The chick who went to the movies with you? The half-sister of your first blind date?"

Zhao Lu was so surprised that he almost swears: "I'll go, you remember it so clearly."

"In my profession, I deal with people every day. I can't remember people. How can I make a living." He Yun took a puff, blew a smoke ring into the sky, and looked at her, "Have you made progress with her?"

Last time, He Yun tested whether she was interested in Yang Yi, and Zhao Lu was so frightened that she denied it, saying that they were ordinary friends.

Unexpectedly, He Yun spoke surprisingly again, and Zhao Lu couldn't hide from her. She paused and said, "It's just that we are closer than ordinary friends."

"What kind of progress is this?"

"It's not bad." This is the result of her salivating her face to make up for it.

"Are you having trouble?"

Zhao Lu frowned, not knowing how to express it.

"Could it be that she doesn't like women?"

Zhao Lu was a little annoyed by her successive questions, shook his head, and said, "According to my judgment, her sexual orientation should be the same as mine."

He Yun was surprised: "How to judge?"

Zhao Lu thought for a while, and said: "First, she told me that she saw Yuning and her girlfriend kissing in the elevator with her own eyes. When she described it to me, she looked very natural, and she was a girl for Yuning. She doesn't seem surprised at all."

He Yun didn't take it seriously: "It's normal, I wasn't surprised when I knew you liked women."

"..."

"What about the second?"

"Second, my intuition."

He Yun had a strange expression: "Aren't these two things too outrageous?"

Zhao Lu did not give the most crucial piece of information, her eyes flickered, and she said, "Anyway... I can feel that she is the same as me."

"I hope your intuition is correct." He Yun gently shook off the soot, "Since you have found the right target, you can strike with confidence and boldly."

"You said it lightly, how do you get off?"

He Yun leaned lazily on the sofa and looked at her with a half smile but not a smile: "So you came to ask me how to pick up girls, then you have found the wrong person. Since I was a child, others have been chasing me. I didn't do anything."

Zhao Lu moved towards her, and said flatteringly, "Then tell me, how did my cousin impress you?"

He Yun rolled her eyes: "Why don't you ask him?"

"If I ask him, won't he reveal his secrets?"

With a cigarette in one hand, He Yun tapped irregularly on her thigh with the other hand. After a long silence, she said, "Speaking of which, your cousin really did a lot of touching things for me back then."

"For example?" Zhao Lu was in high spirits.

"For example...he got his ears pierced and tattooed his body for me, learned taekwondo to prevent me from being bullied, and asked someone to teach him how to cook in order to help me quit smoking and drinking...There are so many more, I can't think of them for now. Wake up." He Yun's tone was flat, as if he was telling someone else's story.

Zhao Lu was moved by her simple words, and said hesitantly: "Since he has done so much for you, why did you break up with him in the first place?"

He Yun took a deep puff of cigarette and said unhurriedly: "Being touched by someone and then having love sounds beautiful, but not every couple who loves each other can finally come together. Life Not only the rough love, but also the bloody vicious mother-in-law."

This is all a mess.

"Oh—what are you doing?"

He Yun patted her shoulder heavily, and said very seriously: "Are you here to ask me questions, or do you want to hear a story? Talk about yourself, don't try to trick me."

Zhao Lu rubbed the place that was hurt by her, with an aggrieved expression on his face: "I won't ask any more."

In fact, today, she and Yang Yi agreed to go shopping together, but the two of them arrived at the entrance of the mall, and Yang Yi answered a call from a customer, leaving her behind in a hurry.

Zhao Lu was wandering alone on the street. When she passed the 4S store, she went in for a walk and was almost persuaded by the salesperson.Just before the door, she remembered Yang Yi's verbal promise to her, and finally ran out without buying anything.

She didn't want to go home, didn't want to sleep late, and had nowhere to go, so she had to come to He Yun to relieve her boredom.

"Is there any wine on it?"

He Yun raised her chin with a finger with crystal nails on it: "Are you enlightened?"

"What?" Zhao Lu took her hand away.

He Yun stood up and went to the refrigerator, took out a can of beer and handed it to her, and said, "It's very easy to chase a girl, you either get her drunk, or you get yourself drunk, otherwise how do you create opportunities?"

Zhao Lu opened the can and was about to drink it, when he suddenly stopped and looked at her suspiciously: "Why do I feel that what you said is so erotic?"

"Whether it's sex or not, simple and rude is the most effective. How about you invite her over another day and I'll buy her a drink?"

The cold liquid entered her throat, Zhao Lu shuddered and said, "Forget it, she doesn't like this kind of place."

He Yun shrugged: "Then there is nothing I can do, I support you mentally, come on!"

"..."

At the beginning of August, Zhou Yang's B&B was fully decorated, and he gave it a poetic name - seclusion.As the name suggests, it is a secluded residence in the downtown area, with low-key luxury.

Zhao Lu alone is not enough employees, Zhou Yang recruited several experienced partners, Zhang Qiao, Wang Lin, and Liu Dongdong.

In order to welcome the new partners, Zhou Yang decided to welcome them, and the place was set in a very stylish private kitchen.

The atmosphere is lively when there are many people. On the first night, Zhao Lu went upstairs to invite Yang Yi.

Yang Yi hesitated: "Would it be inconvenient for me to go alone for dinner for your internal employees?"

"It's okay. I asked my cousin. It's just a simple meal. We don't talk about work."

Yang Yi smiled and said, "Okay, what time is it at night?"

"Seven o'clock."

Chen Xiaochu's private kitchen restaurant.

Zhao Lu and Yang Yi walked in side by side, and when they reached the door of the box, the two stopped and exchanged glances.

"Aren't you nervous?" Zhao Lu asked her.

Yang Yi was helpless: "It's just eating, so of course I'm not nervous."

"That's good." Zhao Lu raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The next second, the door opened, and Zhou Yang invited them in.

Several other people had already taken their seats, Zhao Lu scanned around, his eyes fixed on a familiar figure, and he was stunned.

Facing the doorway, He Yun put on light makeup, less coquettish and more charming, and waved to her: "Lulu, come to me."

What bureau is this?The two of them reconciled?

Zhao Lu looked at Zhou Yang suddenly.

Zhou Yang looked normal, and said, "Go, the two seats on her left are reserved for you."

Zhao Lu was more puzzled, touched Yang Yi's hand, and motioned her to follow.

As soon as she approached, He Yun took the initiative to help her open the chair, smiling like a fox.

Zhao Lu sat down cautiously, lowered his voice and asked her, "Why are you here?"

He Yun winked and whispered in her ear, "Come and cheer for you." She also glanced at Yang Yi who was sitting next to her intentionally or unintentionally.

"..." Zhao Lu suddenly had a bad feeling.

The author has something to say: I haven't written anything yet, so don't scare yourself.

Hey, it's inconvenient to give spoilers otherwise.

Thanks for the support!
