After finishing my work, I felt sleepy and fell asleep almost instantly when I lay down on the bed.

Perhaps because she was too tired, she slept exceptionally soundly that night.

I didn't sleep a wink all night, and slept until dawn.

She got dressed and came out of the house, only to find it quiet all around.

That makes sense. The landlady said that the people living here are all from the surrounding factories, and they've all gone to work at this time, so it's quiet.

After tidying up, Lin Yuyao went out to buy things again.

Divorce won't be easy; it'll probably be a long battle.

Lu Jiangting didn't buy much yesterday, thinking that she wouldn't be staying here for more than a few days and that he would be going to move into the family compound with her later, so he didn't buy many things.

However, Lin Yuyao has to consider staying there for an extended period and also needs to buy cooking supplies.

She struggled for a long time with the decision of whether to buy an electric stove or a coal stove.

The shopkeeper saw her repeatedly examining the electric stove and the coal stove, so he asked her, "Do you live on that old street over there?"

Lin Yuyao nodded. "Yes."

“The old street there often experiences power outages. If you buy an electric stove, you'll also need to prepare a coal stove, otherwise you won't be able to cook when the power goes out. If you have to choose one, I suggest you buy a coal stove, so you can cook regardless of whether the power goes out or not.”

That's the truth.

Lin Yuyao said, "Then I'll take this coal stove. Boss, can you give me a discount?"

The shopkeeper saw that she was dressed in a simple floral dress and looked rustic, like a girl from the mountains. He figured she didn't have much money, so he gave her a cheap price.

When I was giving her change, the shop owner smiled and asked, "Young lady, where are you from? You're so pretty."

Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "I'm from Yushan."

"Oh, that's quite far."

……

After buying all the daily necessities, Lin Yuyao took the exchanged coins downstairs to make a phone call.

She saw it yesterday; there was a public phone booth at the entrance of the residential complex downstairs, and many people were queuing up to make phone calls.

Because it was after get off work hours.

It was during working hours, and there was no one at the phone.

Lin Yuyao held a coin in her hand and began looking for a piece of paper with a number written on it in her bag.

She carefully tucked the paper into a small notebook, dialed the number, and it was answered in no time.

"Hey, who are you looking for?"

Lin Yuyao was a little uneasy. "I'm looking for Fu Huaiyi."

"He's not here, he went to the bathroom. Call me back in ten minutes."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

What a coincidence!

"Hey, thank you."

Lin Yuyao hung up the phone and glanced at the time.

Ten minutes? I wonder if that's enough time for someone to go to the toilet.

Let's wait twenty minutes. After all, it's not cheap to use one coin per play.

Fu Huaiyi and Yi Yunshuo came out of the restroom and chatted as they walked.

"Wasn't the girl that Lao Zhang introduced you to a good one? Why did you refuse again?"

"ugly."

Yi Yunshuo: "..."

"You're so materialistic. Let me tell you, you can't judge a person by their appearance; you have to look inside. That girl may not be that pretty, but she comes from a good family. Her parents both work in government agencies; she's the daughter of a Party Secretary."

Fu Huaiyi: "What does this have to do with me?"

"If you become the Party Secretary's son-in-law, will you still worry about your future?"

"I don't have to worry about my future even if I don't become the secretary's son-in-law."

"Hehe, that's true."

"But what about you? Would you like to consider it?"

Yi Yunshuo: "..."

"I..." He scratched his head sheepishly and said, "I like pretty things."

Ah?

"Judging a person by their appearance is vulgar, as you just said."

"The way you're talking makes it sound like you don't like pretty girls."

When talking about pretty girls, one name suddenly popped into Fu Huaiyi's mind.

That girl was indeed beautiful, exceptionally beautiful.

But she is Lu Jiangting's wife.

She said she wanted to divorce Lu Jiangting, and I don't know how things are going.

"By the way, Lu Jiangting came back yesterday?"

"Yes, why are you suddenly asking about him? Didn't we say we weren't going to play with that kid anymore?"

"Well, I was just asking casually."

Yi Yunshuo seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and chuckled, "Oh, I know, are you thinking about the pretty girls from Lu Jiangting's hometown?"

Fu Huaiyi: "..."

"piss off."

"Hey, don't be angry. It's nothing. Not only do you want it, but I do too."

"Tsk tsk, the tea picker last time was quite pretty."

"So you broke your leg while watching people pick tea?"

Yi Yunshuo: "..."

"It's not broken, it's just a sprain. Don't slander me."

Is there a difference?

Fu Huaiyi didn't even bother to say anything to him.

The two returned to the server room one after the other. They had just entered when someone called out to Fu Huaiyi.

"Brother Fu, I just got a call from you."

"Hmm, who hit him?"

"I don't know. She sounded like a young woman. I told her to call back in ten minutes."

When a young woman approached Fu Huaiyi, no one else thought much of it.

But for some reason, Fu Huaiyi's mind started to wander back to Lu Jiangting's wife.

He kept thinking about other people's wives, and he deeply despised himself.

He said he would wait ten minutes, but in reality, he waited almost twenty minutes before the phone rang again.

"Hello, who is it?"

Judging from that voice, it was definitely Fu Huaiyi.

But when he asked who it was, Lin Yuyao was stumped.

Did she tell him her name?

If she hadn't said it before, and she said she was Lin Yuyao, no one would know who she was.

Does she have to say that she is Lu Jiangting's...someone?

That would be incredibly annoying.

She hesitated and didn't say anything, when suddenly the person on the other end spoke, "Lin Yuyao?"

Lin Yuyao: “…”

He covered his mouth with his hand, afraid of being overheard, and whispered in a low voice, his lips close to his lips.

The sound seemed to be directed directly into her ear.

Lin Yuyao felt inexplicably flustered and gave a soft "hmm".

"I am Lin Yuyao, Comrade Fu. Does what we discussed last time still stand?"

"Of course, how do you want me to help you?"

"I don't know either, I've come to the south of the city."

"You've come to the south of the city?" Fu Huaiyi was quite surprised. "Where are you?"

"I'm on Lingxiang Street..." she briefly told him her approximate location.

The person on the other end immediately understood.

"Wait for me at the department store at the street corner at six o'clock in the afternoon."

"what?"

"That's all. I have to hang up now."

no……

The other person hung up before she could say anything more.

It cost me two yuan to make this call; it really hurts.

Everyone said they were busy, so she couldn't call back. She could only wait until six o'clock to meet them at the street corner.

But... Lu Jiangting will probably be here by then. How can she avoid Lu Jiangting and go see Fu Huaiyi?

Her intuition told her that she couldn't let Lu Jiangting know about this.

Fu Huaiyi wanted to help her, and she couldn't let him get into trouble.

Fu Huaiyi hung up the phone and returned to his seat. Yi Yunshuo craned his neck and asked, "Who was it?"

"No one."

He looked up at the person opposite him, three rows away, where Lu Jiangting was typing away on his keyboard.

Is he rushing to finish his work so he can get out of there as soon as possible?

Fu Huaiyi clenched his fist, turned on the phone, and prepared to find some work for Lu Jiangting.
