Chapter 3 Wife's Attitude
The lonely man got out of the shower and couldn't wait to dry the drops of water from his hair before reaching for his phone.

"Ah."

"Busy."

The reply from Sang Baiyue made him feel discouraged.

Lu Zhenzhong leaned forward on the orange leather sofa and waited.Waiting and waiting, I suddenly became suspicious: Why are you so obedient!He is her husband!

Lu Zhenzhong jumped up, paced around the room, and called Sang Baiyue imposingly.

The phone rang for a long time, but fortunately it was finally picked up before it automatically hung up.

Sang Baiyue's slight panting sounded in his ears, and Lu Zhenzhong was taken aback.

"I'm running." Sang Baiyue said concisely.

"Oh." Lu Zhenzhong paused, "My sister called me today."

"Yes." Sang Baiyue is an only child.When Lu Zhenzhong said "sister", both of them were very clear about Lu Mei.

"My sister said that Dad's medical examination report came out." Lu Zhenzhong paused for a while, there should be Sang Baiyue's questioning here.However, no.

Lu Zhenzhong continued to narrate.

"The result was very bad, and it was suspected that the lung cancer was advanced."

Sang Baiyue's sigh came over.

"Sister hopes we can go back as soon as possible." Lu Zhenzhong subconsciously added "we".Forgive him for the first time facing a major tragedy in his life, instinctively wanting to brace.

"It's not convenient for me to say anything about your family's affairs. Go back by yourself."

"..." Lu Zhenzhong held the phone and couldn't believe his ears.

"Besides, this weekend Zhenqi will also participate in the Rising Star Cup Children's English Speaking Contest. She has been preparing for this for three months. If she gives up temporarily, it will definitely affect her learning motivation in the future."

"..." Lu Zhenzhong swallowed the air, his heart was like a balloon with a hole in it, and he was indescribably frustrated.

Sang Baiyue didn't even ask about his father in detail.

After the phone call, Lu Zhen's center felt more and more disappointed.He threw himself on the spacious double bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Over the years, he often felt neglected by his wife.However, he was persuaded every time by his group of pseudo-married men.Dali, Ah Hui, and Lao Zhang all spoke together, telling him that if he is a man, he must have the consciousness to automatically lower his family status.

Dali, who was forced to work hard in Shanghai in order to let his child go to a bilingual school in Suzhou, did not hesitate to expose his scars, saying that his wife refused to give him a chance to sleep in a bed in the first year of having a child, let alone the same room. In the middle of the night, I fell asleep and crushed the child.He curled up on the couch and slept all year.

"If my wife keeps another cat, my family status will have to be downgraded." Dali grinned.

After 20 years of marriage, the relationship between the husband and wife broke down. In order to establish a correct view of marriage and love for the twin daughters, Lao Zhang, who went home on weekends and pretended to be affectionate in front of the children, reluctantly made it difficult for Lu Zhenzhong to recall a few marital life.

"Men, you have to have a heart, a long-term vision, and don't be fussy. Besides, is it interesting to compete with your own children for favor and jealousy?" Old Zhang loves to pat other people on the shoulder.When he said these words, Lao Zhang rapped on Lu Zhenzhong's shoulders.

Married right after graduation, unable to afford a wedding house and wanting to save money, the husband and wife had to live apart. Ah Hui, who each applied for a company dormitory, had no marital experience to recall, only beautiful aspirations.He stroked his head and felt a slap in the neck: "The heart is too thin!"

The workplace is cruel, but small groups are warm.When a few married and single men meet occasionally after get off work, and have regular dinners on Wednesdays, when spending time together, everyone loves to analyze Lu Zhenzhong.They all agreed that Lu Zhenzhong was the most promising among them to be the first to end their weekend couple status.

Lu Zhenzhong worked hard to get closer to this goal.

His monthly salary card is automatically transferred to Sang Baiyue, even though his wife and daughter are not around, he still shares their expenses generously.Including but not limited to the expenses of various interest classes for daughters, the expenses of honoring parents-in-law during festivals, and the expenses of expensive bags for Sang Baiyue.

Before, it was an honor to spend money for Sang Baiyue, but tonight, it was a grievance.

How could she be so indifferent to his life!

Blame quickly turns to introspection: Has the long-term mid-week separation caused the relationship to fade?
In my heart, a sense of urgency arises spontaneously.

Amidst Lu Zhenzhong's unspoken dissatisfaction, it was time to get off work on Friday.

"Ah Hui, how is your progress?" Lu Zhenzhong walked to Luo Hui's desk.Luo Hui is drawing the 3D model of the part.

Luo Hui took off his glasses, sprayed the lenses with glasses spray, picked up the glasses cleaning cloth, blinked his eyes while wiping to relieve visual fatigue, and said back to Lu Zhenzhong: "It's almost ready. I'm going to find a modeler to print it out tonight. "

"Pay attention to rest." Lu Zhenzhong patted him on the shoulder, "I have to go first."

Luo Hui knew that Lu Zhenzhong's father's condition was not optimistic, so he felt very sympathetic to the little leader.He just graduated, and his father is only in his 50s. Standing with him, he can almost be called a brother.He couldn't believe what he was going to do when his dad suffered a similar fate.

Luo Hui, who was not good at words, nodded heavily towards Lu Zhenzhong.

Lu Zhenzhong bought a set meal at McDonald's and set off from Antingxi with a paper bag.While waiting for the bus, I ate a hamburger and half a cup of Coke, stuffed the next French fries into a paper bag and threw it into the trash can.After throwing it away, I realized that the little girl sitting next to him was looking at him eagerly.

The little girl was about the same age as his daughter, and seeing him softened his heart, and regretted throwing the French fries too recklessly.

A familiar yet unfamiliar sweet and soft voice called out in surprise.

When Lu Zhenzhong raised his head, his eyes met a beautiful face.

"What a coincidence!" Lu Zhenzhong couldn't help but sigh.

The beautiful woman that the four-year-old girl is cuddling with is none other than the duck that she tried so hard to cook back then, ah no, the ex-girlfriend who tried so hard to go to the grave of love together but couldn't.

Lu Zhenzhong had mixed feelings, who would have thought that at such a time and on such an occasion, he would meet Jing Li!

Lu Zhenzhong was a little excited, but Jing Li was calm.

"Who is this?" Lu Zhenzhong could only look at the little girl.

"My second daughter, Zhuzhu." Jing Li straightforwardly introduced, and glanced up and down at Lu Zhenzhong, Jing Li asked with a smile: "Is it possible that you are not married yet?"

Lu Zhenzhong quickly replied: "It's over. My daughter is about the same age as your eldest."

Jing Li smiled, her eyes were clear and unambiguous, as if she had never been his lover for two years.

"Going home alone?" Jing Li asked.

"Something happened at home, so I left in a hurry. Who are you?" Lu Zhenzhong remembered clearly that Jing Li said that she would never live in Shanghai.

Jing Li said that when her youngest daughter was in kindergarten and her homework was not stressful, she took a day trip to Shanghai every now and then to broaden her horizons.The mother and daughter did travel lightly, each carrying a small bag and no luggage.

There was a child at the side, Lu Zhenzhong was very restrained, he didn't mention the past in his mouth, but there were ripples in his heart.If he had been able to persevere and marry Jing Li back then, at least the two parties would not have disagreements on the matter of returning to their hometown.

When the ticket checking time came, the two of them checked and found that they did not buy tickets for the same carriage.

No one made any big moves, said to find someone to exchange tickets, chat all the way and so on.The wind blows the ducks together, the wind blows the ducks away, both of them look like they have no desires or desires.After passing the turnstile, they parted ways and went to their respective compartments.

Only Lu Zhenzhong himself knew that it was good if he didn't meet Jing Li, but after meeting Jing Li by chance, he became even more dissatisfied with Sang Baiyue in his heart.

It was Sang Baiyue who ignored him and ignored him, which made him alone.Although a big man should stand upright and open-minded, he still has dissatisfaction in his heart.

Dissatisfaction fermented in my heart.

For the first time, Lu Zhenzhong felt that he didn't want to restrain his dissatisfaction anymore.
