Now that they are divorced, they have the freedom to pursue happiness, so Lu Wenzhou really can't say anything.
That position no longer exists.
He leaned over and whispered, "Drink less. You haven't even eaten yet. Drinking alone will hurt your stomach."
Lu Wenzhou ignored him and drank several cups in succession.
Tang Lin sighed softly.
When the dinner ended, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. He was helped into the car by Tang Lin and Wang Hui. His steps were unsteady and his eyes were a little blurry.
It was drizzling outside and his hair was a little wet. Wang Hui got into the car, took out two tissues and handed them over, but he saw that the person in the back seat had his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep, so he retracted his hand.
The car started up and slowly entered the main road. Lu Wenzhou suddenly said, "Let's go to her neighborhood."
Although no name was mentioned, Wang Hui knew who his uncle was talking about, so he asked the driver to drive to Zhou Tao's community.
But Zhou Tao has already moved out of that old neighborhood. After all, there is no elevator and the security is poor. Now that she is famous, it is very unsafe for her to be followed home by illegitimate children if she lives in such a neighborhood.
The car stopped downstairs of her building. Lu Wenzhou looked up and saw that there was no light on her floor. He just sat in the car and waited until twelve o'clock, but there was still no light.
In the end, he couldn't help it, so he asked Wang Hui for his cell phone and made a call.
The phone rang for a while, and then the call was answered. A nasal voice came from the other end, as if the person had answered the call in a daze in his sleep, and probably had no idea who was calling.
"Um, who is it?"
She asked.
Lu Wenzhou didn't dare to speak for a moment, fearing that she would hang up the phone after hearing his voice.
He didn't speak for a long time. Zhou Tao looked at the caller ID and suddenly lost all sleepiness. She didn't know why Lu Wenzhou would call her in the middle of the night. She asked carefully, "What's the matter?"
"I'm downstairs from you, can I... go upstairs and have a drink of water?" The question sounded a little humble.
The other side replied: "I am no longer in that neighborhood. I have moved to another neighborhood."
Lu Wenzhou was speechless, "Where is the new community?"
Zhou Tao smiled and said, "It seems unnecessary to tell you. We probably won't have much contact in the future, and Mr. Lu doesn't need to know where I live."
She returned all the pain he had once inflicted on her so decisively.
Only then did he realize that she had been in this state of mind before.
I increasingly despise my former self.
"Just as ordinary friends..."
"There's no need for us to be ordinary friends, Lu Wenzhou. There's no need for that."
She is very direct, and she is always gentle on the outside but strong on the inside.
Because of the alcohol, Lu Wenzhou's voice and posture softened. He whispered, "Don't do this to me, okay?"
Zhou Tao sat on the bed, lit by the bedside lamp. She rested her elbows on her raised knees, her fingers threaded through her long hair, and sighed, "Lu Wenzhou, what did I do to you?"
Lu Wenzhou was choked up and couldn't speak. After a long while, both of them were silent. He spoke first: "Sorry to bother you. I'm going to hang up now."
He hung up the phone, then threw it casually, and the phone hit the car window. The hearts of the two people in the front seat trembled.
Wang Hui thought, Master, how many cell phones are you going to scrap tonight
Zhou Tao on the other end of the line put down his phone, sighed, and sat for a long time with his knees hugged, looking at the rain outside the window with a dazed look. For a moment, he lost his sleepiness.
This is a high-rise apartment by the river. She sat on the bay window and had a very far view. The lights seemed to be on the horizon. Rain was pouring on the windows. She put on a song and listened to it.
In fact, she can also write songs, lyrics and music. She wrote some when she was in college, but none of them were released. It’s just her personal hobby.
Only this one, 'Hug', was written by her for Lu Wenzhou.
At that time, she had just married him and was full of expectations for their married life. She wrote this song enthusiastically and went to the recording studio to record a demo, wanting to play it for him.
I waited but never got the chance.
After waiting for a long time, they returned to the Lu family mansion together. Under the old man's request, they lived in the same room. She took out her cell phone and played this song for him.
His expression was calm, without any ups and downs.
After listening, she asked him if it sounded good.
He said it was not nice.
