Luo Zhen's appearance disrupted Ning Rou's whole day's plan.

She had planned to go to the old street first in the morning, and then go to the central street in the afternoon to see if there were any shops recruiting temporary workers. But now, she hid in the milk tea shop to blow on the air conditioner just after arriving in the old street.

Luo Zhen drank a cup of honey grapefruit tea very slowly.

After 10 minutes passed, I only drank a little.

Ning Rou thought it was too sweet, she didn't like it, after thinking about it, she got up and went to the counter alone to order a glass of honey water that was not available in the store.

It's just honey mixed with warm water, no extra sugar.

Two cups of drinks add up to almost 20 yuan.

Putting it on Ning Rou herself, she is absolutely reluctant to spend such a flower.

"Drink this."

Luo Zhen's eyebrows and eyes drooped slightly, the hair on the side of his cheeks swayed slightly, and the skin on his face became more and more white.

The scent of honey floated between the nostrils mixed with a slight heat, and after a while, it penetrated into her heart along the air.

There are not many customers in the store, and there is almost no noise around.

Luozhen picked up the honey water and took a sip. It tasted very good, with moderate sweetness. Even the temperature of the water was 45 degrees, which she was most used to.

In this world, except for Ning Rou, no one can remember her preferences so clearly.

"Thank you."

The sudden thank you made Ning Rou stunned.

Her face was still a little red, and when she raised her eyes, there was a slight embarrassment in her eyes.

Like surprise, like nervous.

Luo Zhen is a person with a strong personality. During their three years of marriage, she occupies an absolute dominant position in their relationship.

For Ning Rou, she was patient and pampered enough, but she lacked a little bit of equality and respect.

She saved Ning Rou's life; she also provided Ning Rou's basic necessities.

Ning Rou has nothing, Ning Rou knows nothing, everything Ning Rou has is closely related to her.

It's like raising a submissive and obedient canary.

Unknowingly, she took Ning Rou's kindness to her as a matter of course.

Even the simplest "thank you" is rarely said to Ning Rou.

The air-conditioning was floating around her body, her arms were slightly cold, and the pink color on her skin was no longer as obvious as when she came here.

"Thank you, it's delicious."

Another thank you, it sounded gentle and sincere.

Ning Rou's back straightened unconsciously.

When speaking, there is a faint light flashing in the pupil, like a gorgeous shooting star across the night sky, beautiful and moving.

"You're welcome."

If I remember correctly, this should be the first time she said these three words to Luo Zhen.

She couldn't explain the reason, but a faint joy welled up in her heart.

During the time in Haishi, she had to rely on Luozhen to survive.

And now, she can use the money she earned to do something for Luo Zhen.

The sense of accomplishment brought about by this transformation is unparalleled.

It also made her feel that the gap between her and Luo Zhen seemed to have narrowed invisibly.

The two sat facing each other, and in the blink of an eye, two hours passed.

Looking at the finished cup of honey water, Ning Rou couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

The flashing smile, clear and shallow, happened to be caught by Luo Zhen.

Ning Rou is still the same as before, she is still so easy to be satisfied, a little trivial thing can make her happy all day.

She seems to never care about all kinds of unfair and malicious injuries imposed on her by the outside world.

11:30, it's time for lunch.

After Luo Zhen finished drinking the honey water, he brought the cup of honey citron tea with excessive sweetness in front of him.

"Have you finished the glutinous rice balls that night?"

sweet dumpling--

Just hearing this word, Ning Rou recalled the taste of sweet soup in her cheeks, and a pair of light gray wet eyes also slightly brightened.

"It's finished."

Luo Zhen saw her docile appearance in his eyes, his heart suddenly softened, and the coldness on his face dissipated quietly.

"what about the taste?"

"like or not?"

The glutinous rice balls were made by a pastry chef who she specially invited from Haishi with a high salary. Both the stuffing and the soup base were made with the best and most expensive ingredients.

Don't say that someone like Ning Rou who loves sweets can't refuse, even she was surprised when she ate it for the first time.

Although she already knew that Ning Rou liked her, but when she really heard that compliment from the other party, she still couldn't restrain a sense of satisfaction in her heart.

"It tastes good."

Only answered the first sentence, but did not answer the second sentence.

Luo Zhen pursed her red lips slightly, her body leaned forward slightly, the tip of her pink nose was slightly raised, and there were gentle waves rippling and flowing in her eyes, and she looked at Ning Rou lightly.

She rested her hand on her chin, and when she loosened her lips, there seemed to be a smile floating on her cheeks, every frown and smile was seductive.

"Like it?"

After the reunion, it was the first time that Ning Rou saw Luo Zhen like this.

Looking at that beautiful face, she couldn't move her eyes away. After a while, she blushed, bit her lip, and responded in a low voice.

"like."

In front of Luo Zhen, she could never tell a lie.

Because Luozhen's eyes can always see through all her thoughts.

It was true five years ago; it will be true five years from now.

Hearing the answer he wanted to hear, Luo Zhen became more and more happy.

She sat up straight, brought the straw of citron tea to her mouth, and took a bite.

After three sips in a row, most of the tea in the cup was gone.

The rest is only a small bite at the bottom.

Obviously can't drink anymore.

Ning Rou frowned, and was just about to say forget it if she couldn't finish her drink, but she didn't expect the straw to come to her lips just as she loosened her lips.

A clear, soft straw with some lipstick on it and a little watery tint.

They are all traces left by Luo Zhen.

She even faintly smelled a faint fragrance.

It's not the fragrance of grapefruit, nor the sweet fragrance of honey, but the fragrance that she will never forget, the fragrance that only exists on Luozhen's lips.

"There's a little left, don't waste it."

The voice that rang in his ears was still cold and powerful.

Ning Rou's heart beat a little fast, and the moment she lowered her eyes, her breathing became short of breath.

She promised to come out to find a job, but now, it looks more and more like a date.

She was still in a daze, another coaxing remark came from the air.

"After drinking, I will take you to the sweet soup shop."

The implied doting tone made Ning Rou's heart gradually fall into confusion.

Momentarily unconscious, she sank again.

Dizzy, he took the straw into his mouth.

It wasn't until the tip of the tongue was covered with the sweetness of honey that I quietly woke up in a trance.

"It's a newly opened sweet soup shop."

"It's at the end of the street where you work."

"Now it's over, they should be open."

Ning Rou was still ashamed of her behavior, Luo Zhen had already stood up from her seat.

For the ambiguous behavior of the two, she always behaved so naturally.

It was as if her reaction was normal, but Ning Rou's nervousness represented a guilty conscience.

Near noon, the sun in the sky was bigger.

It was hot and sunny all around, and no pedestrians could be seen on the road.

Ning Rou didn't have the time to think about what happened just now, seeing Luo Zhen unlock the car, she immediately opened an umbrella beside her.

For Logan, this was another tormenting journey.

After riding for half an hour, we finally arrived at our destination.

Ning Rou has not been working in Xiangchaxuan for a short time, less than two months.

I don't know much about the situation on Donghui Street.

If Luo Zhen hadn't brought her here, she wouldn't have known that there was a small sweet soup shop hidden at the end of the alley at the end of the street.

Sweet Water Tangyuan Shop——

As soon as I heard it, it was very sweet.

Ning Rou stood at the door for a while, and when she saw Luo Zhen pushed the door in, she followed slowly.

This store is small and the decoration is simple, so the consumption level should not be high.

The air conditioner is turned on in the store, and there is air-conditioning everywhere, which is very cool.

The shop is small, and there are few tables inside. There are only three small round tables on the left side, and each table is matched with two stools. It seems that it cannot accommodate many customers.

Even though it was a sugar shop, there were actually two self-service electric adult massage chairs in the small shop.

Ning Rou had seen this kind of chair in a shopping mall, and it was terribly expensive, and she would charge 15 yuan just to lie on it for 30 minutes.

She had never sat before, and had no intention of sitting.

The walls on all sides were painted a pure white, with some small red lanterns hanging on them for decoration. It looked very festive and always felt like a festival.

As soon as Luo Zhen came in, he found a seat and sat down.

There was no customer in the store, Ning Rou stood alone in the middle, with a flustered and awkward expression.

In the past five years, she has never been in any snack bar.

Firstly, it’s because I’m not good at dealing with people; secondly, I’m afraid things are too expensive and I can’t afford them.

Just when he was feeling uneasy, the curtain behind the counter was pulled open, and a young girl came out from inside.

It should be an employee in the store, estimated to be only about 20 years old, wearing white work clothes, and the word 'Sweet Water' is printed on the sleeves of the clothes.

Ning Rou stood where she was, her hands and feet were so stiff that she couldn't even let go.

She turned her head and habitually wanted to ask Luo Zhen for help, but Luo Zhen looked down at the phone, obviously not paying attention to her gaze.

"Hello, do I need something?"

"The unit price list is here."

At some point, the girl stood behind the counter.

Ning Rou pursed her lips, and when she looked up, she saw the girl smiling at herself with her lips bent.

A smile that couldn't be more kind, instantly made her heart relax a lot.

She hesitated for a while, but finally mustered up the courage and returned a smile.

Stepping under his feet, he also stepped forward unconsciously.

If you can't read, you can't read the price list.

Ning Rou stared at the fancy plastic paper on the table, her brows were suddenly frowned.

Before she could look away, the girl took the initiative to introduce the food in the store to her.

"Our Tangshui shop's signature is glutinous rice balls, with sesame fillings, peanut fillings, custard fillings and red bean paste fillings. A serving costs eight yuan and there are ten pieces in total."

"As for the sugar water, it costs five yuan a bowl."

"If you need small ingredients, you can add them. Red beans, red dates, longan, and fungus are one yuan a piece; lotus seeds, hawthorn, taro balls, and honey are one yuan and five pieces."

"Look, what do you need?"

The price, I have to say, is really cheap.

Ning Rou was a little surprised, obviously did not expect the price to be so low.

The girl guessed what she was thinking and explained with a smile.

"Our store has just opened, and it's still in the publicity stage. It's very affordable."

It turned out to be a new store, no wonder the price is so low.

Ning Rou suddenly felt relieved, and quickly ordered two glutinous rice balls.

One is stuffed with sesame seeds, without adding anything; the other is stuffed with red bean paste, red dates, hawthorn, and honey are added to the soup.

A total of 20 yuan.

Ning Rou calculated the price in her mind, and quickly took out two ten-yuan notes from her pocket.

She was about to pay when the girl's sweet voice sounded again.

"Miss, do you want to apply for a membership card?"

"There is no need to recharge, as long as you leave your phone number and name, you can handle it."

"After applying for the card, the first purchase is half price, and if you come back later, you can get a [-]% discount."

It is a very common way to retain customers. Both Xiangchaxuan and bars have such a membership system.

Ning Rou didn't doubt it.

Before she could answer, the girl whispered another word of persuasion.

"You don't need to recharge, and you can still get a discount. Let's buy one, miss."

Really good deal.

Ning Rou didn't hesitate any longer, and finally picked up the pen, leaving her name and phone number.

When it came time to pay, only ten yuan was spent in the end.

It took about 10 minutes to order a meal.

When he returned to his seat, Luo Zhen had already put away his mobile phone.

It was the first time for Ning Rou to come across such a cheap shop, and she felt a little happy in her heart.

Thinking that Baby Ning also likes the sugar water here very much, the smile on his cheek became even more obvious.

Luo Zhen saw that her eyebrows were full of warm and pure joy, and there was a faint smile on her lips.

"what happened?"

Ning Rou was embarrassed by the question, until she sat back on the stool, she gave a soft warning.

"Next time you come, report your name and phone number, and you can get a [-]% discount."

"This is a discount in the store."

Hearing the sound, Luo Zhen laughed lightly, and the corners of his lips curled up again.

"okay, I get it."

The atmosphere suddenly became much warmer.

Soon, the clerk brought two bowls of glutinous rice balls to the table.

The bowl with sesame filling is from Ning Rou; the bowl with bean paste filling is from Luo Zhen.

In the former's bowl, there are only glutinous rice balls; in the latter's bowl, it is full of ingredients.

Luozhen's eyelids drooped slightly, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

Before she had time to speak, Ning Rou put her bowl in front of her.

"Red dates are added in it, wait for me."

As soon as the words fell, the chopsticks were also taken away.

Immediately afterwards, all the jujube pits that fell from the bowl and the jujube pits growing in the center of the dates were picked out one by one.

A full bowl of sweet soup was pushed back.

It was Ning Rou's soft voice that rang in his ears.

"Okay, you can eat now."

Luo Zhen pursed her red lips tightly, her heart felt sore, astringent and painful.

As if, back to five years ago.

Ning Rou's care for her is always hidden in various small details.

So much so that she never found out, never cared about, and never cherished.

She only saw the material wealth she gave Ning Rou; but she never realized that what Ning Rou gave her——

What a precious thing those ubiquitous little cares are.

After Ning Rou finished eating a glutinous rice ball, Luo Zhen still didn't move her chopsticks.

It tastes good, why not eat it?

Ning Rou put down her chopsticks, with some worry between her brows.

"What's wrong?"

Luozhen's fingertips trembled slightly, and only then did he regain his senses.

The sugar water was very sweet, but her heart was extremely bitter.

"It's nothing."

"Thank you."

Today's Logan seems to like to say 'thank you' very much.

Ning Rou was startled, then quickly shook her head.

"You're welcome."

Two bowls of glutinous rice balls, two people ate slowly for half an hour.

There were too many small ingredients in Luo Zhen's bowl, and half of them ended up in Ning Rou's stomach.

"Do not waste."

"Who told you to add so much?"

Ning Rou blushed a little, and let Luo Zhen scoop the red hawthorn pieces and red dates into his bowl.

After eating everything, another 10 minutes passed.

During this period, there has never been a third guest.

The hour hand on the wall points to the position of 02:30.

At the end of the day, I did nothing.

Ning Rou sighed slightly in her heart, maybe she was full and the air conditioner was blowing comfortably, so she started to feel sleepy.

Seeing her propping her head up and her eyelids drooping weakly, Luo Zhen immediately guessed that she wanted to sleep.

It's not even three o'clock now, and I'm sleeping now, so I won't be able to sleep at night.

"Ning Rou—"

With a cold call, Ning Rou instantly woke up.

She seemed to be frightened, and there was a little panic in her expression.

Luo Zhen pursed his lips, he didn't expect to scare people like this, his eyes couldn't help being gentler.

"Sleep later."

When is it later?Where and who is sleeping?

Ning Rou didn't know, but she nodded obediently.

The two stayed in the store like this.

Soon, it was three o'clock.

Ning Rou only saw Luo Zhen go to the counter and say a few words, and there was a slight buzzing sound from the two massage chairs in the store.

Appears to be booting.

Immediately afterwards, before she could react, Luo Zhen stood in front of her and pointed to the massage chair on the right.

"Go and sleep on it."

Sleep on your stomach, isn't it the same?

How expensive is that chair to sit on.

Ning Rou felt sorry for Qian and was about to refuse, but Luo Zhen had already grabbed her wrist and led her to the chair.

"Just treat it as my return invitation to your grapefruit tea, honey water, and that bowl of glutinous rice balls."

A perfect reason.

Ning Rou couldn't refuse.

Luozhen can always persuade her with various words.

"Go to sleep."

Another urging.

Ning Rou struggled for a while, and finally lay down on the massage chair under the strong request of the woman.

At first, she was not used to it.

But sitting and sitting, the experience becomes better.

Expensive things have their benefits after all.

The tiredness of the past few days disappeared quietly amidst the hum of the machine.

Luo Zhen was lying on another chair, with her face slightly sideways, staring at Ning Rou like this until she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep before she got up from the chair.

The girl behind the counter came out at some point.

"Mr. Luo, Mr. Chu just sent the contract. I checked it. There should be no problem."

"Also, should the meeting tomorrow afternoon be canceled or changed to a video conference?"

"Mr. Luo has returned to the company these days, do you want to take the time to go back and have a look?"

Hearing that Luo Zhenting had returned to the company, Luo Zhen's face changed slightly, but his pace was faster.

Not long after, he entered the study opposite the back kitchen.

When she came out again, she had an extra soft wool blanket in her hand.

"Bring me the contract."

"Tomorrow's meeting will be changed to a video conference."

"As for Luo Zhenting, don't worry about him."

The girl is Luo Zhen's personal secretary, named Jiang Rong, who just graduated from university this year and is very agile.

Although she didn't know much about Luo Zhen and Ning Rou, she could guess something inside just by looking at the blanket Luo Zhen was holding.

When she went to get the contract, she brought another thing.

The air conditioner is on outside, and the temperature is a little low.

Luo Zhen put the blanket over Ning Rou, and then returned to the study.

Jiang Rong was already waiting inside.

After handing over the contract to Luo Zhen, she took out another piece of paper.

"Mr. Luo, didn't you say that Miss Ning can only write her own name?"

"Look at this."

This piece of paper is the membership registration form prepared for Ning Rou in advance.

Luo Zhen didn't know what Jiang Rong's words meant, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

It wasn't until the other party unfolded the paper that she realized that the grid on the paper was filled with two lines.

Ning Rou couldn't read Chinese characters, let alone write Chinese characters.

Just his own name, he learned it with difficulty after half a month of Luo Zhen's patient teaching.

Even the psychiatrist said that every time you write a word, it means that Ning Rou is fighting against the subconscious 'monster' in her mind.

This process is not only painful, but also long. Even a mature adult may not be able to withstand such psychological pressure.

To be able to learn the word 'Ningrou' is a miracle in the sky.

Luo Zhen looked at the piece of paper, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone's hands, the pain was so painful that even breathing was painful.

Her eyes were extremely sour.

Inadvertently, the eye sockets were completely red.

The first line on the paper is Ning Rou's name and phone number.

On the second line, there are two other crooked characters written. Every stroke, every stroke is so hard and difficult.

It was obviously distorted to the point where it was almost unrecognizable, but she still recognized it at a glance——

That's her name.

Written by Ning Rou, her name.

She clearly remembered that when they got divorced, Ning Rou could only write her own name.

When did you learn to write the word 'Luo Zhen'?

The only possibility is the five years after the separation.

Almost instantly, her tears fell.

***

When Luo Zhen woke her up, Ning Rou was still having a beautiful dream.

In the dream, there was her, Baby Ning, and Luo Zhen.

It was such a happy dream that even when she opened her eyes, her eyes were foggy.

Logan's eyes were still red.

When speaking, even the voice is a little hoarse.

"time to go."

go?

Ning Rou blinked her eyes, moved her arms lightly, her consciousness was still confused.

"Where are you going?"

She didn't even remember her daughter, she was obviously sleepy.

Luo Zhen's eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't help but smiled lightly.

"It's five fifteen in the afternoon, where do you think we're going?"

The author has something to say: Baby Ning: Good!
