Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 3 No matter how small a mosquito is, it’s still meat

The previous life of "The Temptation to Go Home" was filmed at the end of 2008.

It caused quite a stir after it aired.

Although its content may seem insignificant to later generations, it is relevant in today's era of relative lack of entertainment.

A story involving love and revenge is bound to stir the audience's emotions.

During her high school years, she was quite a prominent figure at school due to her good looks, excellent academic performance, and kind personality.

I've made a lot of friends.

Unfortunately, he later started dating Lin Wanran and gave up continuing his studies.

However, although Liu Changcun did not attend university, he still keeps in touch with many of his former high school classmates.

One of them currently works at a television station.

It can be considered a connection.

Liu Changcun still has the other party's contact information, and he briefly met the other party at a class reunion a few years ago.

Girls change a lot as they grow up.

The girl who used to wear glasses and only knew how to bury herself in books all day now has a job with a very good income.

Looking back, Liu Changcun, who was once very famous in school, is now doing relatively poorly.

Time keeps passing by.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Changcun had been sitting in front of the computer typing on the keyboard for more than three hours.

If customers hadn't come into the store, he probably could have continued in this state.

The book was placed on the table.

The slight noise brought Liu Changcun, who was focused on typing, back to reality.

Looking up at the opposite side, I saw a woman who looked gentle but had a slightly haggard face.

Her long, straight black hair was simply tied up with a hair tie, with a few wispy strands left around her slender neck.

Her face looked haggard, and her beautiful eyebrows and eyes revealed a deep weariness.

He was wearing a white t-shirt and an apron similar to those worn in a kitchen.

Her lower body was obscured by the cashier's cabinet, and only her dark blue trousers could be vaguely seen.

The woman met Liu Changcun's gaze and first gave him a smile.

He then raised the bottle in his hand.

He gestured for him to look.

"I've finished reading the book I borrowed last time. The story was very interesting."

After saying this, she placed the obviously refilled plastic bottle on the table.

He gently pushed towards where Liu Changcun was.

"This is lemon tea that I made at home... I put it in the freezer at the store for a while."

"It's cool and refreshing, very good for relieving the summer heat."

The woman's voice was quite pleasant.

I don't know if it's because she's too tired, but her voice sounds very tired.

As the bookstore owner, Liu Changcun naturally remembered who the woman in front of him was.

Ning Mengyao, an employee of the flower shop next door.

Last year, when the other party first joined the flower shop, she was unfamiliar with the business and picked out the wrong bouquet for a customer who came to buy flowers. She was scolded by the angry customer, but Liu Changcun stepped in to help her out.

It was considered that I had done the other party a small favor, and thus the two of them were in contact.

In the following period, Ning Mengyao often came to the bookstore to rent books, and occasionally she would bring Liu Changcun, who was in charge of the store, some small gifts as a way of thanking him.

This refilled bottle of lemon tea is probably the gift for this occasion.

Next to the computer at the cashier's counter, there was a plastic bottle that had been trimmed in half.

A few wilted flowers were stuck in the vase.

It was also a gift from Ning Mengyao.

Liu Changcun had been married for fifteen years, and he was the only one who ever gave his wife flowers. The first flower he ever received was from someone he wasn't even close to.

I felt inexplicably sad, but this feeling didn't last long.

Liu Changcun first thanked them, then accepted the lemon tea offered to him.

I was just about to ask if I wanted to borrow a new book this time, but my keen eyes noticed the expectant look in the other person's eyes.

Follow the line of sight.

Liu Changcun noticed that the other person was looking at the cup of lemon tea.

She paused, then hesitated before speaking.

"Won't you try some?"

"We can drink it later, there's no rush."

"All right……"

She responded softly, looking somewhat disappointed. Then she prepared to leave the bookstore.

I thought the other person would rent another book after returning it, but to my surprise, they turned around and left.

Upon seeing this, Liu Changcun immediately realized what was going on.

Having spent almost the entire morning at the bookstore, even if Ning Mengyao was there to borrow books, she still brought some revenue to the store.

In order to seize the rare customer who was visiting now, Liu Changcun grabbed the bottle containing lemon tea without saying a word.

He drank it down in an instant.

He gulped down several large mouthfuls, or perhaps he had been typing on the keyboard for too long.

As the cool lemon tea slid down his throat, Liu Changcun realized that his body had been thirsty for a long time.

"Ha~"

I took a deep breath; the lemon tea in my hand was surprisingly delicious.

Even having tasted numerous teas from later generations, he surprisingly gave them a good review.

"Refreshing and cooling... with a slightly sweet aftertaste, delicious."

"really?"

Seeing Liu Changcun drink lemon tea, Ning Mengyao, who was about to leave the bookstore, stopped in her tracks.

Upon hearing the feedback from the first person to taste it, a rare smile of joy appeared on his tired face.

He clapped his hands happily, seemingly celebrating his success.

Ning Mengyao chuckled and murmured softly to herself.

"That's great... this way I can prepare more for my husband."

"..."

Although they were whispering, there were no other customers in the bookstore at that moment besides the two of them.

Therefore, when they were almost face-to-face, it was difficult for Liu Changcun to avoid hearing the other person's rambling.

He had heard about Ning Mengyao's marriage before.

However, in the past year, he has never seen her husband come to pick her up from get off work.

Although the lemon tea the other party brought was delicious, he was somewhat annoyed by the fact that he was being treated like a guinea pig.

Ning Mengyao was clapping and celebrating slightly when they met, and Liu Changcun noticed the ring on her ring finger.

As far as I can remember, the other person wasn't wearing a ring when we first met.

So much so that when they first met, he always thought Ning Mengyao was an older, unmarried woman.

It was a casual question, as if asked out of curiosity.

"Why are you wearing a ring today? I've never seen you wear one before."

"This is it~"

The way she spoke trailed off showed that Ning Mengyao was very satisfied with the wedding ring on her ring finger.

The silver band holds a small, sparkling micro-diamond.

It's clearly not a very expensive style.

He gave it to me after he received his first paycheck.

Although she was stating the facts, Ning Mengyao's tone sounded more like she was showing off.

Liu Changcun remembered what Ning Mengyao had said.

She and her husband also started their relationship in college, but neither of them went to university after graduating from high school.

She is 29 years old this year, and 5 years younger than Liu Changcun.

She got married the year before last, when she was 27 years old.

All told, they haven't been married for more than two years.

Their relationship, which started in college, dragged on until they were almost thirty before they decided to get married.

Liu Changcun was unaware of the details, and since it was Ning Mengyao's private matter, he didn't inquire further.

Looking at the happiness radiating from Ning Mengyao's face, Liu Changcun, who had just divorced Lin Wanran, could only find it laughable.

Feelings don't necessarily need to be taken too seriously.

Just like his predecessor, he loved his wife so much, but in the end he was still abandoned.

Who knows when someone's heart might change?

Seeing Ning Mengyao still so happy, Liu Changcun, unable to bear seeing her love-struck look, couldn't help but raise his hand and tap the table.

After the other party finally calmed down, he lowered his voice and asked as calmly as possible.

"Miss Ning, would you like to borrow a few more books to read this time?"

Even though he wouldn't make much money lending books, Liu Changcun still hoped the other party would lend him a few more.

Even a small mosquito is still meat.
