Back to the prime of life

Chapter 82 Love is worth living

This is a bit of bad luck.

Yin Anyan and Zuo Shuya looked at each other, hesitating and not knowing what to do next.

The feeling of embarrassment seemed to materialize at this moment.

"Secretary Yin, please help me get it. It's close." Lu Changge spoke quickly. They couldn't let the two of them just look at each other like that.

Fortunately, she was quite obedient and turned around and left.

Zuo Shuya smiled faintly, sat down, and didn't look at Lu Changge.

After waiting for a while, he asked, "Why do you call her Secretary Yin?"

"Her father is the secretary, so I just called her Secretary Yin for fun."

Zuo Shuya was a little surprised when she heard this, "Is An Yan's father so powerful?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense. He's just a township secretary. Counting the town government's gatekeeper, he doesn't manage many people."

"That's not the case. This time we encountered a deputy mayor, and it took quite a while."

Yin Anyan said: "Changge told me about this. Thank you, Sister Shuya. That person must have scared you when he came over earlier."

"Fortunately."

Lu Changge: "I'll call and ask if that Zhou guy is doing well."

"Yes, yes." Yin Anyan agreed.

The two of them sang in unison and spoke to others as if they were a family.

In fact, the rhythm was normal, and after getting through the awkward moment, Lu Changge gradually relaxed.

Zuo Shuya also acted normal. She even gossiped about them and asked, "An Yan, you and Mr. Lu went to the same high school, right?"

"Yes, we were in the same class for our second and third years of high school, classmates for two years."

"Classmates of two years?" Zuo Shuya chuckled and teased Lu Changge, "Mr. Lu, you've been secretly eyeing An Yan since high school, right? Tell the truth, were you secretly in love with her back then?"

This……

You can't really blame her.

The truth is that she didn't understand the situation, and she was even more unaware of the existence of Li Ruoqi.

Sometimes Yin Anyan would also talk to him about this matter, and go over all the details about him and Li Ruoqi, including whether they held hands, kissed, had sex, etc.

Anyway, every time it is mentioned, she has to say a few words.

"Sister Shuya, you don't know this. At that time, he was deeply in love with someone else."

Lu Changge began to cover his face.

Zuo Shuya was also shocked. "Ah? There is such a thing? Impossible, I don't believe there is anyone more beautiful than you."

"You can find out by asking him."

"Really? Is this true?"

"The past is the past. We must look forward to the future." Lu Changge sniffed twice and immediately changed the subject, "Well... I'll go get some water."

"Let me do it."

No, they both said at the same time!
"I'll pour it myself, and no one of you can move!"

Eat a meal, and leave it to wait for the old man? He hasn't even tasted what the food tastes like.

Fortunately, the second time wasn't so awkward. Zuo Shuya winked at Yin Anyan, "So it's true?"

"It's true." Yin Anyan was also a simple-minded person. He said, "That girl has a bad reputation. I don't even know if she calls him or sends him QQ messages or anything like that."

"How could this be?!" Zuo Shuya didn't know if it was because of her ex-husband or something, but she immediately empathized with him. After Lu Changge poured the tea, she said, "Mr. Lu, you actually liked someone else!"

Lu Changge was also convinced, "That was all in the past, why bring it up again?"

"Then tell me, why did you like Li Ruoqi instead of me at that time?" Yin Anyan asked.

Zuo Shuya chimed in, "This question is very important. An Yan's first love must be you, right? What about you? Girls really value their first love."

"No, how come you two formed a united front?" Lu Changge was a little dumbfounded.

Zuo Shuya said, "Of course. We are all fragile girls. We have to fight together against you, the big bad wolf."

"I surrender, I surrender."

Anyway, just don't torture him like you did just now.

We have to thank Zuo Shuya for this. As a veteran, Lu Changge had already sensed that she had some other thoughts, but she didn't reveal any of that throughout the whole process.

In the complex relationships, she stands in a very standard position.

So this meeting went smoothly and was very happy, at least on the surface.

But after Lu Changge and Yin Anyan left, silence and loneliness came over her. Zuo Shuya sat back at the dining table. Her mind was wandering, and she didn't know what she was thinking. There was only a chandelier on the ceiling of the restaurant, and she was the only one in the space illuminated.

At some point, she suddenly started to clean up the dishes, but in fact she was almost in a daze and didn't even know what she was busy with.

The clock hanging on the wall ticked forward, and there was only one figure in the room, appearing in the kitchen and then in the living room.

Suddenly, the alarm clock she bought rang, and the sound was so loud that it was scary.

This startled her awake.

She set up this clock to be a good customer service representative. After all, in recent months, more and more people have been inquiring about her Taobao store, and among the vast number of netizens, all have different schedules, and she needs to respond promptly.

She had no other choice but to prepare this alarm clock, so that she could remind herself every once in a while to check if there were any new visitors. If she accidentally fell asleep, it also had a wake-up function.

So after the alarm rang, she walked into the studio as usual, but when she pushed the door open, she found it was empty.

Yes, Lu Changge has asked Hui Chuankun to look after the store.

She hadn't had time to turn the alarm back on.

Looking at this room, she was suddenly reminded of the past. All the things had been moved away, and Lu Changge had a girlfriend. From then on, the frequency of his visits would definitely decrease significantly.

There is a saying that all good things must come to an end. She certainly knew that the previous situation was unsustainable, but it happened so suddenly that she only realized it now.

This should be called distance estrangement. It is nothing to her. She has experienced more outrageous things.

But she had just started a new life, had just made new friends, and had just felt that her days seemed more colorful.

But in the end, it seems like I'm still alone.

Zuo Shuya sat back on the sofa, took off her shoes and curled up in the blanket, leaving only her fair and round calves exposed. She flipped through her phone, wondering whether she should call Chen Rong to chat.

But I didn’t press it later.

In the end, to her surprise, Lu Changge actually sent her a QQ message with only eight simple words: Thank you for the hospitality, have a good rest.

And she replied: There are only two things in the world that make our life worth living, and they are love and art.

Lu Changge later replied to her: Maugham was wrong, there is nothing worth living for.

Yes, Zuo Shuya’s words came from Maugham’s “Of Human Bondage”.

Seeing that Lu Changge understood, she couldn't help but laugh. She had never chatted with anyone like this before, and it felt wonderful.

Later, she changed her posture and lay on the sofa for a while. After thinking for several minutes, she suddenly started typing quickly as if she had gathered all her strength:
I believe Maugham more, he is a celebrity!
