Chapter III

At Lu Shengnan's current age, her family is not happy about her achievements in work, but every year when she goes home during the Spring Festival, she will arrange a blind date mission; at the age of twenty-four or five, she made excuses that she could still drag on because she was busy with work, and her family no longer paid attention to any excuses for her since last year, especially her mother's tears really made her helpless.

It's not that she doesn't want to fall in love and get married, she has tried to get along with two people, and they are not bad, but whenever others try to hold her hand, Lu Shengnan always has a feeling of self-loathing, and others slowly find out her resistance, so it's over.

After dealing with the things in hand, Lu Shengnan leaned in the swivel chair casually, looked at the snowflakes fluttering outside and began to sigh, it's almost the Spring Festival again, don't go home, her parents will worry that she will be alone in this city for the holidays; I was wondering whether to sign up for a foreign study to avoid this Spring Festival, when the mobile phone on the desk rang, and I reached out and slid the answer button, "Hey, which one?"

"Lu Shengnan, I'm Zhang Li, are you done?"

Zhang Li is Lu Shengnan's roommate in high school, and she settled in H City after finishing college; she works as an accountant in a state-owned enterprise and is also a part-time accountant at Lu Shengnan's firm, and she spends half a day every weekend to sort out the accounts.

Because of the relationship they have had since high school, they are naturally old friends at the level of girlfriends, and they speak very casually; listening to her excited tone on the other end of the phone, Lu Shengnan replied lazily: "I'm basically done, and I don't have anything to do in the afternoon; what's the matter, your husband gave you a holiday today?"

"Tomorrow is not the weekend, I took half a day off with the unit, we went out for a walk, Wang Yuyang came over to eat with us at noon, and then took me home. What do you want to eat? Slaughter my husband today!" Zhang Li asked with a smile on the other end of the phone.

"There's nothing special you want to eat, isn't there a good western restaurant near your unit? I'll pick you up for coffee, and it's not easy for you to take a taxi on a snowy day." ”

Zhang Li happily agreed: "My dear, you still feel sorry for me! Call me when it's time to call me, see you later." ”

Lu Shengnan went to the underground parking lot to pick up the car, and twenty minutes later he picked her up at the door of Zhang Li's unit and drove to the Western restaurant.

As soon as she got in the car, Zhang Li stretched out her hand to the heater in the car and said exaggeratedly: "Lu Shengnan, your car is really not bad, rich people are good! Hey, who would have thought that Lu Shengnan is actually a strong woman now?"

This is almost a topic that Zhang Li will ridicule every time she sees Lu Shengnan, Lu Shengnan is too lazy to pay attention to her, concentrate on driving, the road is too slippery on a snowy day.

When they arrived at the Western restaurant, the two ordered coffee and chatted and waited for Wang Yuyang, Wang Yuyang was Zhang Li's first love and Xiao Rui's classmate; he and Zhang Li were admitted to the same university, got married after graduation, and now have a one-year-old daughter.

Zhang Li looked at Lu Shengnan and couldn't help but look disgusted: "Lu Shengnan, how many times have I told you, can you put on makeup and go out? At least put on light makeup." ”

Lu Shengnan is wearing jeans today, a dark blue sweater, the neckline and cuffs of the white shirt are turned out, the jacket is a long camel-colored cashmere coat, and a pair of coffee-colored casual boots are under his feet, this outfit is very neat with her short hair; she has never lost weight since she lost weight in the third year of high school, and even feels thinner and thinner, which may be related to her habit of staying up late; fair skin, neatly trimmed eyebrows, a pair of starry eyes slightly raised at the corners of the eyes, and slightly plump lips are only coated with colorless lip balm.

Zhang Li on the opposite side has long hair parted sideways, her skin is as delicate as jade, a pair of almond eyes under the willow eyebrows are shining under the long eyelashes, and her lips are lightly opened; inside the red down jacket is a black professional skirt, black stockings with black high-heeled leather boots, a standard professional beauty.

Compared with Zhang Li's delicate makeup, Lu Shengnan took a sip of coffee and said to her: "I didn't arrange a client today, so I just looked at the assistants' drawings in the office and where I needed makeup." ”

The two of them looked out the window at the snowflakes that were blowing and quieted down.

Zhang Li looked at Xuehua and suddenly asked her: "Lu Shengnan, do you remember the scene when the four of us went on a date in the park in our small town in the second year of high school? It seems that Xiao Rui bought you sugar gourds to eat at that time." ”

Lu Shengnan looked out the window quietly, and did not answer Zhang Li's question, she would not remember how many times she dreamed back at midnight was the scene of that person at that time.

"Lu Shengnan, are you ready to close yourself off like this until you are old? Yes, you are a successful woman now, you don't need to rely on a man to raise you, don't you need a companion? Do you know, many times I really feel sorry for you. ”

"Zhang Li, can we stop talking about this topic? Your husband is almost here, let's order food first." Lu Shengnan picked up the recipe and looked at it.

How could Zhang Li not feel sorry for her, they spent their youth together, during the time when Xiao Rui lost contact, Lu Shengnan looked for him like crazy, and then he still couldn't stand it and asked Wang Yuyang to make up a reason to appease her; Now, the girls in a dormitory in high school are all married and have their own families, and only Lu Shengnan is still alone.

The two of them were looking down and studying the recipe, and Wang Yuyang's voice came: "Wife, you have been here for a long time, right? It's snowing today, is it cold?"

Zhang Li was sitting right opposite the staircase, and when she heard Wang Yuyang's voice, she looked up at him and said, "It's not cold, Lu Shengnan went to pick me up, husband, why are you ······?"

Lu Shengnan looked back at Zhang Li stunned, Wang Yuyang walked in front in a navy blue suit, and there was a person behind him: a tall man of more than one meter and eight looked slender and straight, with black hair, narrow phoenix eyes under thick eyebrows, thin lips slightly pursed, and a black business casual dress made the visitor look dignified and reckless.

Wang Yuyang walked next to Zhang Li and pulled out a chair while smiling and said, "Look who is coming······?

Lu Shengnan Huo Ran got up and picked up his coat and said, "I'm sorry, I still have some things, let's go first, you eat slowly." After speaking, he walked to the staircase, held the solid wood handrail of the staircase and walked quickly downstairs to get into the car, and after starting, the white off-road vehicle roared away.

The three people in the restaurant stood there stunned, and after a while, Zhang Li asked uncertainly, "Are you Xiao Rui?"

Xiao Rui smiled bitterly and nodded: "It's me." The person just now was Lu Shengnan?"

Zhang Li glanced at him and turned to her husband: "Wang Yuyang, why didn't you say that Xiao Rui came over today?"

Wang Yuyang hurriedly comforted Zhang Li: "Wife, don't be angry first, don't I want to surprise Lu Shengnan? Isn't Lu Shengnan still waiting for Xiao Rui after so many years of being alone?"

After snorting coldly, Zhang Li picked up her mobile phone and dialed Lu Shengnan, but no one answered the phone, and she still didn't answer when she called again······
