Chapter 54. Friendship encounters
When a woman loses her marriage in middle age, the blow is undoubtedly huge.
Ruo Ning was worried that Shen Rulan would often think crankily at home alone, so she took a stack of materials and asked Shen Rulan to choose an interest class, which were all activities for middle-aged and elderly people to participate in.
Shen Rulan couldn't resist Ruoning, so she chose a calligraphy class, and every day after work, she went to the elderly activity center to attend classes. Originally, I just wanted to reassure Ruo Ning, but I really became interested and distracted after coming and going, but I didn't have time to think about anything else.
After the three-month probationary period, Ruo Ning's work also stabilized, and she began to have the opportunity to handle some small cases independently.
"Ah Ning, do you have time at night?" When he was about to get off work, Koyanagi turned his chair to Ruoning's side.
"Yes, what's the matter?" Ruoning replied while drawing.
Xiao Liu suddenly held Ruo Ning's hand and said, "Great, you must come to the rescue." ”
Ruo Ning looked up at her in confusion, and Xiao Liu Xingxing looked at her pleadingly.
An hour later, Ruoning, Koyanagi, and two other female colleagues were sitting in an elegant café, thinking that if she knew that it would be such a scene in front of her, it would be absolutely impossible for Koyanagi to come.
There were three men sitting opposite the four of them, all dressed up and behaving well, no matter how stupid Ruoning was, she knew that she was coming over to make friends with Xiao Liuyu.
"There are also two colleagues who have a temporary patient, and they may be delayed." One of the men spoke.
Ruo Ning was like sitting on pins and needles, desperately wanting to go, and pulled Xiao Yanagi's sleeve, Xiao Liu turned his head to look at her, lowered his voice and said in her ear: "They are all doctors, it's not bad to know some boys once in a while, please, please, you should sit with us for a while, we have one less person." ”
Ruo Ning was helpless, and when she saw Xiao Liu looking at her with that kind of pitiful eyes, she couldn't make up her mind and left immediately, and said in a low voice: "Then I'll just sit for a while." ”
Koyanagi smiled with satisfaction, and was sitting up to chat with the boy opposite, Ruo Ning tilted his head and looked out the window, bored.
"Miss Qu." One of the men looked at Ruo Ning and asked, "What do you want to drink?" ”
"A glass of boiling water is fine." Ruo Ning responded politely.
Then the man kept chatting with Ruo Ning, Ruo Ning occasionally responded to a sentence or two, Xiao Liu was jealous and envious on the side, and this was the best among the three men.
Ruo Ning didn't know that she was favored, and her expression became more and more empty as she drank the water.
"Sorry, we're late." A male voice interjected between them.
Xiao Yanagi and the other two female colleagues all looked up, and saw the man walking in Zuihou, with a slender figure, a face like a crown of jade, clear eyebrows, a straight nose, and a warm temperament like a slight dew in the morning light, which instantly knocked down several other men, and they were reluctant to move away when they looked at him.
Ruo Ning didn't hear the voices of the three people, and felt strange, so she turned her head away.
As soon as she turned around, she was surprised by Xi Yunsheng's dark eyes, and Xi Yunsheng was even more surprised.
"Ah Ning." Xi Yunsheng called her name and smiled lightly.
Xiao Liu secretly whimpered to herself, and said in her heart that the sky was going to kill her, and she regretted it and brought Ruo Ning out.
Xi Yunsheng asked several other men to move in and sit opposite Ruo Ning, who smiled awkwardly.
Xiaoliu launched an offensive against Xi Yunsheng, asking him for his name, hobbies, and work department.
In their conversation, Ruo Ning learned that Xi Yunsheng went to work in the city hospital after returning to China, and today he was also pulled to replace another person who could not be present.
Xi Yunsheng replied to Xiaoliu's words with a smile, his eyes were still looking at Ruoning, Ruoning was a little embarrassed, so he got up and went to the bathroom under the excuse.
She washed her hands in the bathroom, and Xi Yunsheng was waiting for her against the wall of the corridor.
Ruo Ning raised her hand to brush her hair behind her ear, smiled helplessly, and said, "I was pulled by Xiaoliu today, and it was the girl who had been talking to you just now." ”
"Your colleague doesn't know you're married?" Xi Yunsheng twisted his eyebrows, he never expected to meet Ruoning on the occasion of friendship.
"To be exact, she knew I was divorced." Ruo Ning pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.
When Xi Yunsheng heard the word divorce, he was stunned, he thought about many possibilities when he returned to China, maybe she had children around her knees, maybe she and Ren Shaochen were like glue
All he had imagined was her happiness, and that would not be in vain for him to let go, but things were completely out of what he had imagined.
“weishenme?” Xi Yunsheng asked in a low voice, he looked at Ruo Ning, there was a trace of heartache in his eyes, he knew how much she liked that man, the more she liked it, the more difficult it was to leave.
"There are all kinds of reasons, but it's over." Ruo Ning looked up at him and gave him a relieved smile.
Xi Yunsheng lowered his eyes to look at the smile on her lips and said in a low voice, "Ah Ning, let's go." ”
"Huh?" Ruo Ning raised her eyebrows and asked.
"I don't think you like it either." Xi Yunsheng glanced at the group of men and women from afar.
Ruo Ning pursed her lips and smiled, it seems that Xi Yunsheng also doesn't like friendship.
The two hit it off, quietly left first, and out of the café, they sent separate text messages to inform their colleagues that they had left first.
After sending the text message, the two looked up at the same time, looked at each other, and smiled.
"And now I'll send you home?" Ruo Ning asked Xi Yunsheng.
"Okay, zaijian noodles will be replaced by me to invite you to dinner, and you are not allowed to refuse." Xi Yunsheng smiled and said to Ruo Ning: "Last time, I decided that this time you will choose a place to eat." ”
Ruo Ning chuckled, walked to the car, and said, "Then get in the car." ”
Xi Yunsheng sat in the car, and Ruoning drove to where she wanted to go, he looked at Ruoning's face in the rearview mirror, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
He met her on the first day of his return, and he restrained himself from disturbing her current life, but now that she has no one around her, maybe God gave him another chance.
"What are you laughing at?" Ruo Ning glanced at him and continued to concentrate on driving.
"I suddenly felt that my luck was not bad." Xi Yunsheng looked sideways at her and said.
Ruo Ning didn't understand what he was talking about, so she stopped the car after turning and said, "It's here." ”
Xi Yunsheng got out of the car and looked up, it was a Chinese restaurant, Ruoning walked up to him, and said with a light smile: "After eating foreign food abroad for so many years, you should miss authentic Chinese food very much." ”
Xi Yunsheng knew that Ruo Ning was thinking about him, and the deeper the smile on the corner of his lips, he walked in with Ruo Ning.
The environment here is elegant and clean, and each table is half-covered by a screen, which is very antique.
After sitting down and ordering, Xi Yunsheng sipped tea, and the indifferent bookish taste on his body matched the environment very well.
Ruo Ning raised her head and was about to speak, when she saw Ren Shaochen with an expressionless face and walking towards them.
