Too thin-skinned and easy to lose a wife

Regarding the dress, Zhao Lu was indeed careless.

She remembered that when she went there yesterday, someone told her to return the clothes after the wedding.But because she was drunk last night, she returned home in a daze, and temporarily put this matter behind her.

Zhao Lu was in a daze for a long time at the last two words in the text message, before he could figure out how to answer, the phone rang.

She was taken aback, and seeing that it was her mother calling, she collected herself and pressed the answer button.

"mom."

Wang Xiuyun asked her: "Are you coming back for dinner today?"

Zhao Lu went home almost every week, and she was a little sleepy today. If Wang Xiuyun hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten about it.

She looked at Yang Yi who was stretching beside her, thought for a while, and said, "Go back, I'll go back later."

Wang Xiuyun: "Okay, I'm going out to buy vegetables now."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Lu walked over and asked Yang Yi: "My mother called me home for dinner, do you want to come with me?"

Without hesitation, Yang Yi said, "No, you haven't been to my house before, so I feel embarrassed that I always go to your house for dinner."

Zhao Lu hesitated to speak, turned his mind, and asked, "Then what are your plans for later? You won't be busy with work again, right?"

Yang Yi looked up at the sky and said, "I'm not working anymore, I'll give myself two days off. On such a hot day, I'd better go home and turn on the air conditioner, make a facial mask, and take a nap."

Zhao Lu looked at her wrongedly: "I want to do the same."

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment: "Didn't you just say you were going home for dinner?"

Zhao Lu nodded, and suddenly thought of a very important thing: "You also live separately from your parents, but I don't think I've ever seen the mention of going home to see them."

Yang Yi smiled lightly and said: "When I graduated from university, my mother and Zheng Hao's father resigned and retired early. They traveled all over the world whenever they had time, and now they have flown to Southeast Asia."

Zhao Lu was surprised: "Uncle and aunt... are really young and energetic."

Yang Yi was noncommittal and asked her, "When are you leaving?"

Zhao Lu looked at the time: "Wait a little longer."

Wait until Chen Xi comes to take away the dress.

The sun was getting stronger and stronger, they decided to go upstairs and return to Yang Yi's house together.

"Sit whatever you want, I'll throw the clothes into the washing machine first."

Taking advantage of the time when Yang Yi went to do the laundry, Zhao Lu took out his mobile phone and replied to the previous text message: "Come here now."

Afterwards, they nestled on the sofa and watched TV dramas. The mindless plot made people drowsy.

Zhao Lu yawned, and tapped the shoulder of Yang Yi who was watching seriously: "Is it so beautiful? You are fascinated by it."

Yang Yi said solemnly: "The plot is bloody and nothing to watch, but the villa where the hero lives, the interior decoration is good."

"..." Zhao Lu looked at her as if he had seen a ghost, "I dare you to look at the background after watching it for a long time!"

Yang Yi smiled and said, "Professional habits."

Zhao Lu felt even more bored when she said this about the plot that was originally not available on Xiejie, so he yawned again and said, "You should put on a mask."

"You don't want to see it?"

Zhao Lu muttered: "I thought you wanted to watch it, and it was just to pass the time with you."

Yang Yi was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed, and turned off the TV with the remote control.

"What kind of mask do you want to apply, give me one too." Anyway, being idle is boring.

Yang Yi said, "Then you have to wait until I'm done."

"What do you mean?"

"DIY."

"You don't mind the trouble?"

Yang Yi shrugged and said, "No trouble, I do this often, and it will be quick."

After she finished speaking, she stood up, opened the refrigerator, and took out two boxes of yogurt and two eggs.

"You want to cook, right?"

Yang Yi ignored her teasing and carried these things into the kitchen.

Zhao Lu followed closely and saw her take out a glass bowl from the cupboard, pour in yogurt one by one, and carefully beat in two egg yolks.

Zhao Lu took an empty bowl to help her get out the remaining egg whites, and said, "You can use these to cook noodles at night."

"I think so too."

After Yang Yi finished speaking, he took out a bag of flour from somewhere and poured some into it.Finally mix well with a spoon and everything is done.

Zhao Lu looked at the ingredients in the bowl, and jokingly said, "Buy another oven, put it in directly, and it will be a cake when it comes out."

Yang Yi didn't answer, and continued to stir with a spoon, asking her, "Do you want to try it?"

Zhao Lu raised his chin slightly and said, "You paint it for me, and I'll try it."

"Okay."

"Then I'll help you."

"No problem. But you have to be quick, or the mask will be dry."

Then the two of them went to wash their faces.

After washing his face, he felt much refreshed. Zhao Lu touched his smooth face and said, "Your facial cleanser is better than mine, it's so slippery."

Yang Yi took her hand off and said, "Don't touch it, it's hard to wash it clean, and you'll get dirty again later."

"..." Zhao Lu was speechless.

Yang Yi gestured for her to go to the sofa.

Zhao Lu lay down according to the words, his body bounced up again, his eyes looked around: "Where's the pillow?"

Yang Yi pointed to the balcony: "I took it to dry."

"I don't feel comfortable lying down without a pillow."

"Then don't, you lie on my lap."

Zhao Lu's eyes lit up: "What did you say?"

"I asked you to lie on my lap, why are you so surprised?"

Could it be that she was acting too excited?

Zhao Lu leaned on her tentatively, resting his head on her lap lightly, looking up at her from bottom to top.

This angle is indescribably subtle.

She first saw the bulge on Yang Yi's chest, then her chin, then her mouth, nose, eyes...

The warm touch on her legs and the light fragrance emanating from her body disturbed her mind, Zhao Lu swallowed.

"Why are you so nervous?"

Zhao Lu faltered: "I... I'm afraid that it will be uncomfortable for you."

"You're not heavy." Yang Yi couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't move around later, this mask can easily stain your clothes."

"Oh." Zhao Lu crossed his hands to protect his chest, his body was tense, his eyelashes trembled, "Do you need to close your eyes?"

"It's best to shut up, I think it's strange that you stare at me like this."

"..." To be honest, Zhao Lu also felt very strange, she could feel her heartbeat gradually speeding up under the palm of her hand, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes.

Yang Yi went to get the prepared batter, took some with a brush, and was about to apply it on her face when she was suddenly interrupted by the sudden ringing of her mobile phone.

Zhao Lu suddenly opened his eyes.She was lying on her back, just in time to see the two mobile phones on the coffee table.

Yang Yi reminded her: "I'm looking for you." By the way, he helped her get the phone.

Zhao Lu saw that it was an unfamiliar call, and the number looked familiar, as if it belonged to Chen Xi...

Thinking of this, her heart skipped a beat, she sat up abruptly, hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button.

"Hey?"

Chen Xi said concisely, "I'm here."

Zhao Lu turned pale with shock: "So fast?"

It was only ten minutes since she received her text message.

Chen Xi: "I just happened to be looking at houses nearby, so I stopped by. Which unit and room number do you live in?"

Zhao Lu said lightly, "I'll give it to you now, wait for me for a few minutes."

Chen Xi paused and said, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Lu looked at Yang Yi with complicated emotions, and said, "Someone is waiting for me downstairs, I have to take yesterday's dress to her and return it."

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, without thinking too much: "Then you go."

Zhao Lu stared at the bowl in her hand, hesitating: "How about you wait until I come up?"

Yang Yi pondered for a while, and said, "It will be hard when you come up."

"That……"

"Forget it, next time, don't you have to go home?"

There is no rush to go home at this moment...

But after hearing what she said, Zhao Lu couldn't find a suitable reason to refute, so he bit his lip and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect her to come at this time."

Yang Yi didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, it's not a big deal, there will be opportunities in the future."

"Then... if you can't finish it, you can apply it to your neck after applying it to your face, as well as your hands."

Yang Yi stirred the rice paste: "Understood, you can go quickly, don't make others wait too long."

What a great opportunity, she hasn't had time to enjoy it yet.

Zhao Lu was a little reconciled, before leaving, he said, "Next time I will help you get it first, and let you lie on my lap."

Under the shade of trees at the entrance of the community.

Zhao Lu recognized the Mazda at a glance, and most importantly, Chen Xi was standing outside.

She strode over, handed her the dress in the bag, and said, "I haven't washed it yet."

"It's okay, as long as it's not dirty." Chen Xi stuffed it into the car without looking at it, turned around, and examined her, "I drank like that yesterday, are you okay?"

Zhao Lu shook his head and asked her back: "What about you?"

"I'm fine."

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere is a bit dry.

Chen Xi broke the silence: "I've already arrived at the door, and you didn't invite me to sit up. Isn't it convenient?"

Zhao Lu didn't expect her to ask such a question, his eyes flickered, and he said, "I live with someone else, and my roommate usually sleeps during the day, so it's really inconvenient..."

"The one who went to the mall with you?"

She was talking about Yang Yi.

Zhao Lu: "No."

Chen Xi didn't ask any more questions, and laughed at himself, saying: "I asked you on the phone which unit and which floor you live in just now, but you didn't say anything. I thought you were deliberately guarding against me."

Zhao Lu was surprised: "Why should I guard against you?"

Chen Xi said ambiguously, "You have to ask yourself."

Zhao Lu doesn't like her indifferent attitude: "What I'm saying is the truth. My roommate's work and rest are indeed upside down, and I just want to go home to have dinner with my parents, so I'll bring you something along the way." gone."

Maybe it was because of her tough tone, Chen Xi was choked up, and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I... thought you were still hostile to me."

As soon as she said this, Zhao Lu couldn't help thinking of their awkward conversation at the toilet door yesterday.

Zhao Lu suddenly felt dizzy, and he sorted out his thoughts a little, and said, "Chen Xi, I really never hated you."

"Really?" Chen Xi said softly.

"You rejected me like that in the email back then, and unilaterally cut off all contact with me. What you did did cause me a huge psychological trauma... But having said that, because of this, I am very grateful your."

Chen Xi was startled: "Thank you?"

Zhao Lu smiled easily: "Yes."

"why?"

Zhao Lu took a breath and said: "You may not know that I have always been inferior in front of you. After you said that to me, I fully understood how unbearable I am compared to you. I I have been sad for a long time, and I lost ten catties in that month. After that, I finally figured it out and made up my mind to lose weight. I succeeded, shouldn’t I be grateful to you?”

"..." Chen Xi had complex emotions in his eyes, and was speechless for a long time.

"You don't have to look at me like that. I'm not being sarcastic. I'm serious when I say this."

"sorry."

Zhao Lu said helplessly: "You have been apologizing to me since we met. But Chen Xi, you really don't owe me anything. And... I have forgiven you a long time ago."

"You... forgive me?" Chen Xi couldn't believe it.

Zhao Lu sighed and said: "I will never forget that you are the first person in the class to stand up for me. Moreover, you have helped me a lot no matter in life or study. I will remember all of these. In my heart, how could I hate you?"

The more she talked, the deeper the guilt in Chen Xi's eyes.

Zhao Lu saw that her hand was grasping the car door so hard that it turned white, and he looked away calmly: "Let the past be the past! Don't talk about it, I'm leaving."

"How about I see you off?" Chen Xi stopped her in time.

"Aren't you going to return the dress?"

"It's not urgent. Where is your home?"

Zhao Lu reported the location.

Chen Xi Chen Xi pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry, I just returned to China, so I'm not very familiar with this place. But it doesn't matter, the car has navigation."

She kindly invited Zhao Lu to refuse.

"Ok."

In the cramped space, the atmosphere was even more awkward than before.Chen Xi turned on the radio, but the sound was not loud.

After the conversation just now, both of them deliberately kept silent.

Chen Xi turned on the navigation, and asked Zhao Lu's home address again.She entered the information and said happily: "It's really on the way, your home is relatively close, I'll send you there directly."

"thank you."

"You're welcome."

Silence again.

Unfamiliar pop songs were playing on the radio, which did not ease the awkward atmosphere in the car.

Later, Chen Xi couldn't hold back any longer, and started looking for something to say: "You don't want to tell me about your recent years?"

……

It was rare that Zhao Zhiguo was at home, Wang Xiuyun made some hard dishes, Zhao Lu put down his chopsticks after only a few mouthfuls

Wang Xiuyun looked at the clean, empty bowl in front of her: "This is all you eat?"

Zhao Lu rubbed his stomach and said, "I ate too much at the wedding yesterday, I have to control it."

"That's not bad for this meal, let's get some more food."

Zhao Lu was beaten to death and quit: "No, I'm afraid of getting fat. By the way, Mom, do you still have those photos before I lost weight?"

Wang Xiuyun was puzzled: "Should have had it when I was young, why are you asking this?"

"Just want to see."

Wang Xiuyun did not doubt that he was there, and said, "It's all in the photo album on the bottom shelf of your bedside table, you can find it yourself."

Zhao Lu put down the bowls and chopsticks, stood up, turned around and entered the bedroom, and was shocked when he opened the cabinet.

It was stuffed with things from her childhood, diary, homework, little red flowers...everything that she didn't notice before.

She took out the thick photo album, and when she opened the first page, she saw a photo of herself when the moon was full. Her face was as big as a pot, her belly was as round as a ball, and she was crying loudly.

so ugly...

Scrolling down, one by one makes people unbearable to look directly at.

Those photos witnessed the process of her changing from a little fat man to a big fat man. Obviously the person in the photos was herself, but she felt it was very strange.

She carried the photo album and walked to the mirror. In contrast, she doubted life even more.

"Is this really me?"

It's no wonder that Chen Xi rejected her so resolutely...

Afraid of making himself sick after watching it, Zhao Lu closed the photo album.

When Wang Xiuyun came in, she saw her rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and couldn't help wondering, "What are you looking for?"

Zhao Lu poked his head out of the cabinet and asked, "Mom, why is my swimsuit missing?"

"What are you looking for?"

"Swimming, of course."

Zhao Lu didn't expect that there would be unexpected rewards when she went out today. She just got into Chen Xi's car, glanced out the window, and found that someone was swimming in the community, and she was immediately moved.

Zhao Lu left home around six o'clock and arrived at Liyuan Community. She went up to find Yang Yi, and happened to meet Yang Yi eating noodles.

Zhao Lu asked her, "Would you like some dumplings?"

Yang Yi glanced at her bulging bags and was shocked: "So much?"

Zhao Lu hurriedly explained: "It's not all dumplings, there are other things that belong to me."

Yang Yi understood and continued to eat noodles.

"Aren't you going to ask what it is?"

Yang Yi smiled: "What is it?"

Zhao Lu pretended to be mysterious and put the thick photo album on the table, saying: "My black history is all recorded in it, you can read it."

"Black history? What?"

"You'll know if you look at it."

At her instigation, Yang Yi turned to the first page of the photo album and saw the centenary photo at first glance, and was dumbfounded: "Is this you? It's so cute."

"You...are you sure you're cute?"

Yang Yi looked at the photo, then at her, and said with a smile, "It's very cute. It has a round face, round eyes, and even the shape of the mouth. Has anyone ever told you Like a ball as a kid?"

This doesn't sound like a boast.Zhao Lu's face became hot, and he said, "No, they all said that I am fat."

Yang Yi laughed "puchi" and said, "I was so cute when I was fat when I was young."

"..." Zhao Lu didn't know how to respond, "You continue to read."

Going on, Yang Yi's face changed, his smile faded, and his expression was thought-provoking.

Zhao Lu suddenly became a little nervous, and cleared his throat: "If you have something to say, I can stand it."

Yang Yi looked at the photo, and then at her.The same movement, but the expression is more serious than before.After a long time, he said, "Now I finally believe what you said before. Zhao Lu, you are really inspirational."

She closed the album and returned it to her.

"Didn't you see it?"

Yang Yi shook his head: "Why did you show me this?"

Zhao Lu was confused, he hesitated: "I promised you before, and... I have a question to ask you."

"what is the problem?"

Zhao Lu took a deep breath and said, "After looking at my previous photos, answer me seriously, is it really ugly?"

Without thinking about it, Yang Yi shook her head: "I don't think it's ugly."

"Then change another question." Zhao Lu licked his lips, "If it were you, wouldn't you also fall in love with me when you met a fat girl like me?"

Yang Yi frowned: "Your question is a bit strange. Will I like you when I meet you?"

Zhao Lu panicked, and said, "This is actually just an analogy. You can assume that you are... a man! According to your true inner thoughts, if I confessed to you at that time, would you accept it?"

"..."

"Ok?"

"You make me think about it."

"Think about it, I want to listen to the truth."

After thinking for a moment, Yang Yi said firmly, "No."

"..." Zhao Lu was silent this time.

"You made me assume."

Zhao Lu lay on the table and wailed: "Sure enough, truth is worse than lies."

Yang Yi reached out to touch her head and comforted her: "You have become thinner and more beautiful now, why do you still have to worry about whether you were fat or not before? Could it be that you have been hurt before?"

Zhao Lu grabbed her hand, looked at her eagerly, and said, "Girls like me, do you think there may be few people who have hurt me?"

Yang Yi was choked by her, looked at the hand held by her, and said, "But at least you are different now, you should look forward."

"Yes. Look forward." Zhao Lu let go of her soft hand, put away the photo album, and sighed, "Even you will reject me like that. Now I finally have a balance in my heart."

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing."

The photo album was pressed to the bottom of the swimsuit, and Zhao Lu thought about it, and said: "There is a swimming pool downstairs in the community, do you know?"

"I know."

Zhao Lu blinked and asked, "Can you swim?"

Yang Yi drank the noodle soup and said casually, "Yes, what's the matter?"

Zhao Lu was overjoyed: "The weather is so hot, why don't we go swimming!"
