Too thin-skinned and easy to lose a wife

After listening to Yao Ling's words, Zhao Lu almost bit her tongue. After a while, she regained her voice: "What did you say?"

It was impulsive at first, and it takes courage to repeat it again.Before the news from the circle of friends could be sent out, Yao Ling held the mobile phone at a loss, and said falteringly: "Recently there was...a handsome guy who got very close to Sister Yiyi, and everyone said he was her boyfriend. ..."

It is indeed big news that Yang Yi has a boyfriend, but based on his understanding of the other party, Zhao Lu knew that there was something tricky about it as soon as he heard it.

Either these people are spreading rumors, or Yang Yi deliberately misunderstood.

Zhao Lu didn't know what kind of situation it was.She lowered her eyes, staring at the rice in the bowl, lost in thought.

"Who are you talking about?" Wang Lu, who was ignored by others, interjected.

Zhao Lu didn't make a sound.

Yao Ling secretly watched Zhao Lu's every move, but was interrupted by Wang Luyi, the tension in her heart relaxed slightly, she laughed heartlessly, and said, "You don't know him."

Wang Lu didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing that Zhao Lu was silent, Yao Ling didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, put the phone aside, and picked up the chopsticks nervously.

However, Yao Ling's words were not groundless.

After going to the Xinyue psychological counseling room, Yang Yi's dusty mind was opened. When she realized that she had opened her heart in front of a strange man and shed tears in front of that man, she regretted it.

She didn't have time to clean up her embarrassing mood, hurriedly avoided the man's sight, left the panicky empty office, paid the money at the front desk and left.

Afraid of revealing her secrets, after leaving, she thought about it and sent Lin Chao a message: "Please don't tell anyone about today's affairs, including my brother."

Lin Chao replied to her: "Don't worry, the customer is God, and keeping confidentiality for customers is our service tenet."

Yang Yi is a person who pays attention to efficiency. When she thinks that something is disturbing her life, she will discard it as quickly as possible, and then devote her precious energy to meaningful things.

But once she calmed down, the words Lin Chao said to her suddenly broke through the barrier she set up by herself, and lingered in her mind.

"You want to bless them both together?"

"Are you willing?"

"Stop kidding yourself, if you don't like it, then why are you crying?"

……

Lin Chao is right, she has very complicated feelings for Zhao Lu.She hurt her, owed her, wanted to make up for it but didn't know where to start, wanted to stay away but couldn't forget it...

She knew that it was no longer possible between them, so when Yao Ling was drunk and expressed his affection for Zhao Lu in front of her, Yang Yi really wanted to make them happen.But she dared not make a move.

She was a little afraid of seeing Zhao Lu, so she always used her hard shell and the mask she was good at to disguise herself. Every time she was ridiculed by Zhao Lu, she felt a little relieved, and at the same time, a certain place hurt like being pricked by a needle. .

How to do it?What else can she do besides silently blessing and pretending to be a stranger as always?

Yang Yi, who has always had a clear goal, met Zhao Lu, and she became incompetent.

She arranges a lot of trivial tasks for herself, so that she has no time to think about it.

Under her busy schedule, she didn't have time to touch her phone, so she missed the message from Lin Chao: "I didn't help you, and I shouldn't charge you money. When are you free, I'll return the money to you .”

After getting off work at noon, Yang Yi walked out of the office. When he passed the front desk, he happened to see someone who was supposed to be sitting in the office playing games, and was beaming with joy and telling cold jokes to the girl at the front desk.

Attracted by the giggles of the girl at the front desk, Yang Yi stopped in her tracks.

Lin Chao turned his head and saw her, and restrained his indecent expression for a second, put one hand in his pocket, raised the other hand, and greeted her politely: "After waiting for you for a long time, you finally came out."

Yang Yi was not surprised: "Wait for me?"

Lin Chao left the girl at the front desk and walked towards her, saying, "Didn't you read the text message I sent you?"

Yang Yi didn't know, so she picked up her phone and finally found the unread text message.After browsing the content, she frowned and said, "I took up your time and paid by the hour, which is reasonable, why should I pay it back?"

Lin Chao shrugged: "Isn't it written clearly? I can't help you."

"..." Yang Yi didn't know how to respond, and didn't really want to mention what happened that day, "If you don't want it, just donate it."

"Tsk—" Lin Chao rubbed his chin and examined her, "Then who do you want to donate to?"

"It's up to you." Yang Yi didn't want to talk to him, and walked around him to leave.

Lin Chao stretched out his hand to stop it, but retracted it when he didn't meet anyone, and said, "I've been waiting for you for half an hour, and I haven't even eaten lunch. Are you treating me like this?"

The curious gaze of the girl at the front desk was about to shoot her through her body. In order to solve the trouble as soon as possible, Yang Yi simply said, "All right, I'll treat you to dinner."

Lin Chao's eyes lit up: "Is it real or not? Where to eat? Chinese food or Western food? Actually, you don't need to invite me, I can just invite you."

"Canteen." Yang Yi's light words interrupted his reverie.

"canteen?"

The big pot of rice in the cafeteria was a bit unbearable for Lin Chao.When she was queuing for dinner, Yang Yi saw his painful and disgusted expression. She pretended not to know, took two dishes at random, and waited for the young master.

Lin Chao really didn't know what to eat, so he finally ordered bitter gourd spare ribs and a vegetable like Yang Yi.

It was already past meal time and there was no one in the cafeteria. Yang Yi casually found a table and sat down, glanced at Lin Chao who was facing a frowning face, and smiled lightly: "Let's eat as soon as possible, I'm in a hurry, I can't invite you to dinner."

Lin Chao smiled far-fetchedly, and said, "It's okay, it actually looks quite...delicious."

"Then eat."

Master Lin Chao swallowed the sticky rice with difficulty.

That was the first time they had lunch together. Yang Yi didn't expect that the scandal about Lin Chao's pursuit of her would spread in the company.

In fact, it is no wonder that others talk too much, because after that, Lin Chao came to her again, and this time the reason was even more outrageous.

Lin Chao came to her with an earring and said, "Auntie the cleaner found it in my office, did you drop it?"

With black lines all over Yang Yi's face, he said, "No."

Lin Chao didn't give up, and pretended to look at her ears, and then found that Yang Yi didn't even have pierced ears.

Now it's embarrassing.Lin Chao put away the earring and scratched his hair.

After a moment of silence, Yang Yi motioned him to take a step to speak, and said bluntly: "Zhao Lu is a woman."

"What?" Lin Chao, scratching his head and thinking about finding a step for himself, didn't realize it for a while.

Yang Yi looked around to make sure there was no one around, and she said word for word: "I'm not heterosexual, I like women."

"..." Young Master Lin Chao, who was eager to court, was scared away by her words.

In the few days after being harassed by Lin Chao, Yang Yi heard gossip from time to time, and some bold ones even ran to her to ask her for confirmation, and Yao Ling was among them.

Compared with other people's gossip, Yao Ling's eyes were a little weird when he asked her questions.

"Sister Yiyi, does that psychiatrist like you? I heard from them that you seem to be dating now..."

"Who did you listen to?" Yang Yi asked her indifferently.

Yao Ling was a little speechless, as if he didn't dare to look at her: "It's been spread in the office, but I don't think it's possible."

Yang Yi wasn't sure if his blunt tone had frightened her, so he calmed down a little, and said, "It's nothing, don't listen to their nonsense."

When Zhao Lu heard the news from Yao Ling, five days had passed since Lin Chao harassed Yang Yi for the last time, so she had never seen any men and women chasing each other.

It happened to be Qixi Festival on Saturday, and the company organized all employees to go to the hospital for a physical examination. Zhao Lu didn't eat breakfast, and only drank a glass of water before passing.

Because he had to rush home after the physical examination, Zhao Lu almost went to the hospital while he was working.She was the first to arrive, and then other colleagues came one after another.

When drawing blood, Zhao Lu heard her colleagues complain behind her: "Some companies hold social activities on Qixi Festival, but our company arranges physical examinations, which is really unique."

Zhao Lu smiled and said nothing, took the cotton swab handed over by the nurse to press the bleeding needle hole, and went to the next inspection item with the physical examination sheet.

Because I went early and there were not many people, Zhao Lu got it done in less than half an hour.She walked out of the hospital alone, feeling very hungry. Seeing someone selling breakfast at the entrance of the hospital, she walked over and said, "I want a meat bun and a vegetarian bun."

"Okay." The breakfast seller was an aunt, who quickly opened the drawer to fill her with buns, with a smile on her face, "Do you want to drink? Soy milk, corn juice, and yam juice are available."

"Is the soy milk cold or hot?"

"Both, which one do you want?"

Of course it's going to be cold on a hot day, Zhao Lu opened his mouth to speak, when suddenly a familiar light fragrance penetrated his nose.She thought she was hallucinating after being drawn a tube of blood, and she caught a glimpse of a figure approaching from the corner of her eye, and she looked over abruptly.

Yang Yi hadn't had time to take off the professional suit on her body. She stayed in the ward last night and slept soundly, her clothes were wrinkled.Her hair looked a bit dull, her face was pale, her lips were deeply lined, and the dark circles under her eyelids made her look haggard again.

She walked over slowly, not noticing the person standing in front of the breakfast stall, squeezed the swollen eyebrows, and said to the aunt, "I want a piece of corn."

"Wait a minute." Adhering to the first-come-first-served rule, the aunt looked at Zhao Lu expectantly, "Girl, do you want room temperature or ice?"

"It's cold." Zhao Lu said dryly, keeping his eyes on the person who suddenly approached him, thinking, "Why is she here?"

The next second, Zhao Lu suddenly thought of something, and his puzzled eyes became complicated.

Suddenly hearing a familiar voice, Yang Yi, who was in a trance, paused, tilted her head and bumped into Zhao Lu's deep eyes, and she was slightly stunned.

The aunt didn't understand what happened between the two, she handed over the packaged things and said, "Your six yuan, your five yuan, take it."

The aunt relieved the siege instantly with a word, Yang Yi hurriedly stopped talking, took out five yuan from the bag and handed it over.

The two paid the money, took the things, turned around and left, like strangers.

It's normal, isn't it always like this?They each go their own way without disturbing each other, they should have gotten used to it long ago.

Zhao Lu silently comforted himself, opened the car door, and began to eat buns while the air conditioner was blowing.

Halfway through the gnawing, she found a worn-out car passing by her eyes, and she recognized it as Yang Yi's car.She didn't know what was wrong with her, so she put the unfinished breakfast aside, started the car and followed.

The car in front was not in a hurry, Zhao Lu followed cautiously, scolding himself for being abnormal, while pretending to be nonchalant.

She was going back to Qingshui Homeland to pack her luggage, so she stopped by anyway, so how could it be counted as stalking?

In the end, the two cars arrived at their destination one after another, and it was inevitable that they would meet in the elevator.

After entering the elevator, the two of them remained silent in tacit understanding.

When the elevator arrived, Zhao Lu walked out unceremoniously, as if she was eager to escape that oppressive space, she took big steps.When she took out the key and was about to open the door, she was surprised when she suddenly heard the meow of "meow meow meow".

That orange cat has obviously been taken away by its former owner, why is it still meowing?

Zhao Lu pricked up his ears to listen, only to realize that the meowing came from the door behind her.

Yang Yi also has a cat?

After hesitating for a second, Yang Yi had already walked over.Being stared at by Zhao Lu, she was very puzzled, but she didn't say anything.

She went straight to the door, and suddenly heard the person behind her say, "You... have you gone to see Aunt Lan?"

In many cases, people's behavior always reacts before the brain. Even Zhao Lu can't figure out why he took the initiative to talk to her, but the words have already been spoken, and it is too late to regret.Fortunately, with her back turned, Yang Yi couldn't see her annoyed expression.

Yang Yi shook her hand, and the keychain slammed together. She pretended to be calm: "Yes."

"Is she okay?"

"Not good." Yang Yi inserted the key in and twisted it three times.

As the door opened, the meow of "meow meow meow" became clearer, and a fat, white cat ran over and looked up at Yang Yi.

Isn't this the fat ball?Zhao Lu's eyes widened.

Long time no see, this guy seems to be getting fat again.Zhao Lu didn't have time to think about why Fat Ball appeared here, and the surprise overwhelmed everything else, so she called out tentatively: "Fat Ball?"

I don't know if Fat Ball can understand people's words. It looked over with sharp eyes, and swept to Zhao Lu standing behind Yang Yi. Say hello to old friends.

After barking for a long time, seeing that Yang Yi ignored it, Fat Ball, who had been hungry all night, shifted his target, walked towards Zhao Lu with small steps, and rubbed her feet affectionately.

The long-lost sense of familiarity made Zhao Lu overwhelmed with emotion. She even forgot that she had to draw a clear line with Yang Yi now, squatted down, and reached out her hand uncontrollably to touch Fat Ball's head.

Fat Ball rubbed her face against her palm, sniffed her fingers, smelled a smell of meat buns, stuck out his tongue and licked it.

Zhao Lu's fingertips trembled slightly, and her excitement gradually calmed down. She looked up at Yang Yi: "Is it hungry?"

Yang Yi shyly turned away: "It should be."

Fat Ball, who was neglected and hungry all night by his owner, got a big bowl of cat food and a can of cat food.Zhao Lu looked at his own child, squatting aside to watch it eat with caring eyes.

"I'll take a shower first."

Before Zhao Lu came back to his senses, Yang Yi had already entered the bathroom with a change of clothes.

Zhao Lu looked at the door that had just closed, then at the white cat who was eating happily, and muttered cheekily: "You let me in."

Of course, she knew that Yang Yi only let her in to watch Fat Ball, and she didn't dare to touch or look at it, so she could only stay with Fat Ball in a law-abiding manner.

Covered by the sound of "crashing" water, Zhao Lu whispered to Fat Ball: "Is Zheng Hao on a business trip again?"

Fat Ball's attention is all on food, so of course it's impossible to talk to her.

Zhao Lu stroked the fur on its back, and said to himself: "No, even if Zheng Hao is on a business trip, Chen Xi should have time to take care of you. So why are you here?"

"..."

In fact, this matter is really related to Chen Xi.

That day Yang Yi secretly went to the counseling room, and it was almost noon when she came out. She adjusted her mood and drove back to her parents' house.

Their family gets together once a week for a family reunion dinner.Zheng Hao was helping Qin Yushan in the kitchen, while Yang Yi and Chen Xi were sitting on the sofa chatting.

"Don't you have it? Play less with your mobile phone, it's not good for children."

Chen Xi, who was scrolling through Moments, looked at her like a ghost: "Who told you that I have it?"

Yang Yi nodded her chin in the kitchen: "Mom said so."

"Ahem——" Chen Xi restrained her face, and said seriously, "That was a misunderstanding. My aunt postponed it last month, and my mother thought it was pregnancy, but she went to the hospital for an examination, but there was nothing."

Yang Yi couldn't help laughing.

Chen Xi brushed and felt bored, so she clicked into Zhao Lu's circle of friends, and saw the latest post with nine cat clips on it.That was the day Yao Ling picked up the orange cat. After Zhao Lu took the photo, he posted it on Moments, showing off that he had a cat.

Chen Xi paused his fingers, and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Zhao Lu picked up a cat, did you know that?"

"I've seen it." Yang Yi said lightly.

Hearing her strange tone, Chen Xi thought for a while and lowered his voice: "Is this the end for you two?"

"Have we started yet?"

"..." Chen Xi was silenced by her.

Chen Xi was really not reconciled, she could see that Zhao Lu hadn't let go of Yang Yi completely, and she could also see that Yang Yi was forbearing on purpose.She felt that these two people were really awkward, so she thought about helping them out again.

Before the dishes were ready, Chen Xi's mind was running fast, and he said solemnly: "Your brother and I are preparing for pregnancy, and it's not suitable to keep pets. Can you help us raise Fat Ball first?"

Yang Yi didn't suspect him, and asked, "Where's the dog?"

Chen Xi said without changing his face: "The dog wants to slip away, you don't have time to take care of it, I will leave it to my parents."

So, under Chen Xi's disturbance, Yang Yi went to Zheng Hao's house that day and brought Fat Ball over.

Chen Xi originally hoped that the two cat owners could find some common topics, but they didn't know that Zhao Lu's orange cat had already been taken away.

In just a few minutes, the cat food in the bowl was wiped out by Fat Ball.This guy might be thirsty, so he swaggered to another empty bowl that was overturned by it, and found that there was no water in it, turned around, and gave Zhao Lu a "meow".

Zhao Lu had no choice but to pick up an empty bowl to get water for it.

The kitchen and the bathroom are next to each other, Zhao Lu approached step by step, and the sound of the water became clearer and clearer.When she thought of Yang Yi taking a bath inside, she felt a little embarrassed, she walked lightly, for fear of making a sound, she only turned on the faucet a little, and continued with the bowl like a thief.

After finally getting half a bowl of water, she tiptoed over, but couldn't find Fat Ball.

This guy didn't know which corner to play in, Zhao Lu squeezed his throat and called to it: "Fat ball?"

Fat Ball didn't respond.

The living room is only so big, Zhao Lu can see it all at a glance.

Yang Yi opened the bedroom door when she was looking for clothes before, and the half-hidden door was forcibly opened a crack, it seems that there is a high chance that the fat ball is inside.

Zhao Lu had the nerve to enter her bedroom, thinking that the fat ball would not escape anyway, so she put down the bowl filled with water, and couldn't help but glanced at the closed bathroom door again.

The cat has seen enough, and it is really shameless to stay in other people's homes.Taking advantage of Yang Yi not washing well, Zhao Lu decided to leave quietly.

As soon as she took a step, she suddenly heard a strange sound of "thrilling and stabbing".She looked over subconsciously, and found a short, fat cat's paw sticking out from under the half-hidden door.

The cat is an incomprehensible creature, Zhao Lu only thought it had found some kind of fun, she was speechless for a while, and was about to leave, when suddenly something entangled in the cat's paw caught her eyes.

She seemed to have misunderstood, the fat ball was not playing with the crack of the door at all, it might just be because something was stuck there, and it was desperately stretching its claws to dig in and out of the narrow crack of the door.

The cat's paws were too fat, and the fat ball was cut off its sharp claws, and finally the thing was pushed outside by it.

The sound of "thud, thud, thud" stopped abruptly, and a necklace lay quietly on the white floor.

A necklace pendant with the letter "Y" hangs on the slender chain, and the red diamonds tightly inlaid on it are still dazzling, shining brightly into view.

Seeing that thing clearly, Zhao Lu's pupils shrank slightly, and his breathing stagnated.

It was a 30th birthday present that she had cruelly thrown into the trash can before they parted. It was originally intended to be given to Yang Yi...
