Dating After Divorce

Luo Zhen appeared, disrupting Ning Rou's plans for the whole day.

She originally planned to visit the old street first in the morning, and then go to the center street in the afternoon to see if there were any shops recruiting temporary workers, but now it is better. As soon as she arrived at the old street, she hid in the milk tea shop to blow the air conditioner.

A cup of honey grapefruit tea, Luo Zhen drank very slowly.

Twenty minutes passed, and only a little was drunk.

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 cup of honey water that was not available in the store.

Just a fusion of honey and warm water, no extra sugar.

The two drinks cost almost twenty yuan.

Putting it on Ning Rou herself is absolutely reluctant to spend so much.

"Drink this."

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

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

There were not many customers in the store, and there was hardly any noise around.

Luo Zhen took a sip of the honey water. It tasted very good, and the sweetness was moderate. Even the temperature of the water was 45 degrees, which she was most accustomed to.

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

"thanks."

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 cramp in her eyes.

Like surprise, like nervousness.

Luo is really a person with a strong personality. After three years of marriage, she occupies an absolute dominant position in the relationship between the two.

For Ning Rou, she is patient and doting enough, but she lacks a little bit of equality and respect.

Ning Rou's life was saved by her; she also provided Ning Rou's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

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

It's like raising an obedient and obedient canary.

Before she knew it, she took Ning Rou's kindness to herself as a matter of course.

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

The air-conditioning floated around her body, her arms were slightly cold, and the pink on her flesh was not as obvious as it was when she came.

"Thank you, it's delicious."

Another thank you, it sounds gentle and sincere.

Ning Rou's back straightened unconsciously.

When speaking, there is a flash of light in the pupil, like a splendid meteor across the night sky, beautiful and moving.

"You are 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 she felt a faint joy in her heart.

During the time in the sea market, she needed to rely on Luo Zhen to survive.

And now, she can do something for Luo Zhen with the money she earns.

The sense of achievement brought 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 had passed.

Looking at the finished cup of honey water, Ning Rouqing 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 contented, a little trivial thing can make her happy all day.

It seemed that she never cared about the injustices and malicious harm that was inflicted on her by the outside world.

At half past eleven, it was time for lunch.

After Luo Zhen drank the honey water, he brought the cup of honey grapefruit tea, which was too sweet, in front of him.

"Have you finished eating the dumplings that night?"

sweet dumpling--

Just hearing this word, Ning Rou's cheeks recollected the taste of sweet soup, and a pair of light gray wet eyes also lit up slightly.

"It's over."

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

"how does it taste?"

"like or not?"

The glutinous rice **** were made by a pastry chef she specially invited from Haishi with a high salary. Whether it was stuffing or soup base, they used 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 knew that Ning Rou liked it for a long time, but when she heard the compliment from the other party's mouth, her heart was still filled with a sense of satisfaction.

"Taste, good taste."

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

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

Her hand rested on her chin, and when she loosened her lips, there seemed to be a smile floating on her cheeks, and her frown and smile were all seductive.

"Like it?"

After meeting, Ning Rou saw Luo Zhen like this for the first time.

She looked at that beautiful face, and couldn't take her eyes away. After a while, she blushed, bit her lip, and gave a low reply.

"like."

In front of Luo Zhen, she could never lie.

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

This was true five years ago; it will be true five years later.

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

She sat up straight, brought the straw of grapefruit tea to her mouth, and bit it lightly.

With three sips in a row, most of the tea in the cup was lost.

The rest, only the bottom sip.

Apparently he couldn't drink anymore.

Ning Rou wrinkled her brows, just as she was about to say that it would be fine if she couldn't finish drinking, but she didn't expect the straw to come to her lips again just as her lips were loosened.

Transparent and soft straw with some lipstick on it and a touch of thin aqua.

All traces left by Luo Zhen.

She even smelled a faint scent.

It's not the fragrance of grapefruit, nor the sweet fragrance of honey, but the fragrance that she will never forget, the fragrance only in Luo Zhen's lips.

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

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

Ning Rou's heart beat a little faster, and her breathing became rapid when she lowered her eyes.

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

She was still stunned, and there was another word full of coaxing in the air.

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

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

For a while, she was unconscious, and she fell again.

Dizzy, he put the straw in his mouth.

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

"It's a new sweet soup shop."

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

"Now that it's past, they should be open for business."

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 is even bigger.

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

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

For Luo Zhen, this is another tormented journey.

After half an hour of riding, we finally reached our destination.

Ning Rou has not been working in Xiangchaxuan for a long 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 would never 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 dumpling shop——

It's sweet to hear.

Ning Rou stood at the door for a while, and then slowly followed after seeing Luo Zhen pushing the door in.

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

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

The store is small, and there are few tables in it. There are only three small round tables on the left, and each table is matched with two stools, which does not seem to accommodate many customers.

It is obviously a sugar water shop, but there are two self-service electric adult massage chairs in the small store.

Ning Rou has seen this kind of chair in a shopping mall. The price is frighteningly expensive. Just go up and lie down for 15 minutes, and you will be charged 30 yuan.

She had never sat, nor did she intend to.

The walls on all sides were painted into pure white, and some small red lanterns were hung 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 by himself and sat down.

There was not a single customer in the store, Ning Rou stood in the middle alone, her expression a little flustered and a little cramped.

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

First, it’s because I’m not good at dealing with people; second, it’s because I’m afraid that things are too expensive and I can’t afford it myself.

It was at the moment of anxiety that the curtain behind the counter was pulled open, and a young girl came out.

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

Ning Rou stood on the spot, 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 her phone, apparently not noticing her gaze.

"Hello, do you need anything?"

"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 smiled at herself with her lips bent.

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

She hesitated for a while, but finally summoned up her courage and returned a smile.

The footsteps are also moving unknowingly.

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

Ning Rou stared at the fancy plastic sheet on the table, her brows furrowed instantly.

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

"The signature of our Tangshui shop is the glutinous rice balls. There are sesame fillings, peanut fillings, custard fillings and bean paste fillings. One serving is 8 yuan, and there are ten pieces in total."

"For sugar water, it's five yuan a bowl."

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

"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 took the initiative to explain 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 prices are so low.

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

One is stuffed with sesame seeds, and nothing is added; the other is stuffed with bean paste, with red dates, hawthorn, and honey added to the soup.

Twenty dollars in total.

Ning Rou calculated the price in her heart, and quickly took out two ten-dollar bills from her pocket.

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

"Miss, do you want to get a membership card?"

"You don't need to recharge, just leave your phone number and name, and you can handle it."

"After applying for a card, the first purchase is half price, and if you come back later, you can get a 20% discount."

It is a very common way of staying guests. Xiangchaxuan and bars have such a membership system.

Ning Rou did not doubt.

Before she could answer, the girl whispered again.

"You don't need to recharge, you can still get a discount. Miss, let's get one."

Really good deal.

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

When I paid, I ended up spending only ten dollars.

It took about ten minutes to order a meal.

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

It was the first time that Ning Rou encountered such an affordable shop, and she was vaguely happy in her heart.

Thinking that Ning Baobao also likes the sugar water here, the smile on his cheeks is even more obvious.

Luo Zhen saw the pure joy between her brows, and there was a slight smile on her lips.

"What's up?"

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

"Next time you come, report your name and phone number, you can get a 20% discount."

"It's an in-store deal."

Luo Zhen laughed softly, and the corners of his lips tickled again.

"okay, I get it."

The atmosphere suddenly became much warmer.

Soon, the clerk brought two bowls of dumplings to the table.

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

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

Luo Zhen's eyelids drooped slightly, and his brows were lightly locked.

Before she could speak, Ning Rou put her bowl in front of her.

"There are red dates in it, wait for me."

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

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

A full bowl of sweet soup was pushed back again.

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

"Okay, you can eat now."

Luo Zhen's red lips pursed tightly, and her heart was sour, 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 discovered, never cared about, and never cherished.

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

Those ubiquitous little cares are such a precious thing.

After Ning Rou finished eating a dumpling, Luo Zhen still didn't move his chopsticks.

It tastes good, why not eat it?

Ning Rou put down her chopsticks, a little worried between her brows.

"What's wrong?"

Luo Zhen's fingertips trembled slightly, only then did he come back to his senses.

The sugar water is sweet, but her heart is extraordinarily bitter.

"nothing."

"thanks."

Today's Luo Zhen seems to especially like to say 'thank you'.

Ning Rou was stunned, and quickly shook her head.

"You are welcome."

Two bowls of dumplings, two people ate slowly for half an hour.

There were too many small ingredients in Luo Zhen's bowl, and finally half of it went into Ning Rou's stomach.

"Do not waste."

"Who asked you to add so much."

Ning Rou's face flushed a little, and she let Luo Zhen scoop the red hawthorn pieces and red dates into his bowl.

After all was eaten, another twenty minutes passed.

During this period, no third guest came to the door.

The hour hand on the wall points to half past two.

This day, nothing has been done.

Ning Rou sighed slightly, perhaps she was full, and the air conditioner was blowing comfortably, but she actually started to feel sleepy.

Luo Zhen saw her holding her head and her eyelids drooping weakly, and immediately guessed that she wanted to sleep.

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

"Ning Rou—"

With a cold call, Ning Rou woke up instantly.

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

Luo Zhen pursed his lips. He didn't expect to frighten people like this, and his eyes couldn't help but soften.

"Go to sleep later."

What time is it? Where are you sleeping?

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

The two stayed in the shop just like that.

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.

seems to be starting up.

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

"Go to sleep there."

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

How expensive is that chair to sit on?

Ning Rou felt distressed about money and was about to refuse, but Luo Zhen had already held her wrist and brought her to the chair.

"Just treat it as the grapefruit tea, honey water, and the bowl of glutinous rice **** that I invited you back."

A perfect reason.

Ning Rou couldn't refuse.

Luo Zhen 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 at the woman's strong request.

At first, she was not used to it.

But sitting and sitting, the experience feels better.

Expensive things are always expensive.

The fatigue and fatigue of the past few days disappeared silently in the humming sound of this machine.

Luo Zhen was lying on the other chair, her face was slightly sideways, she stared at Ning Rou like this, until the other party closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, then 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 and there should be no problem."

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

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

Hearing that Luo Zhenting had returned to the company, Luo Zhen's expression changed slightly, but his steps were quicker.

It didn't take long before he entered the study room opposite the back kitchen.

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

"Bring the contract here."

"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 private secretary, Jiang Rong, who just graduated from college this year, and is very nimble.

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

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

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

Luo Zhen draped the blanket over Ning Rou before returning 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 was the membership registration form prepared for Ning Rou in advance.

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

It was not until the other party unfolded the paper that she realized that the grid on the paper was filled with two rows.

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

Just his own name, it took half a month to learn it under Luo Zhen's patient teaching.

Even the psychiatrist said that every time she wrote a word, it meant that Ning Rou was fighting against the 'monster' in her subconscious 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 'Ning Rou' is a great miracle.

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

Her eyes were extremely sour.

Suddenly, his eyes turned red.

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

On the second line, there are two other slanted characters, each stroke, each stroke, so hard and so difficult.

It was so twisted that it was almost unrecognizable, but she still recognized it at a glance—

That's her name.

Ning Rou wrote her name.

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

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

The only possibility is the five years after the separation.

Almost instantly, her tears fell.

＊＊＊

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

In the dream, there is her, Ning Baobao, and Luo Zhen.

A dream so happy that when she even opened her eyes, her eyes were misty.

Luo Zhen's eyes were still red.

When speaking, even his voice was hoarse.

"time to go."

go?

Ning Rou blinked, her arms moved slightly, and 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 smile.

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

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