After all, he doesn't have anything to do later. After all, he's trying to find an excuse to stay away from me and not disturb me …
After getting into the car, Lu Bancheng stepped on the accelerator without hesitation, turned the steering wheel, and drove away.
After driving for a long distance, he stepped on the brakes and stopped by the side of the road. Then, he leaned against the steering wheel and lay there motionless.
Xu Wennuan drove home after having dinner at Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhi 'ai's house.
When she had moved out of Lu Bancheng's house, she hadn't had enough money and owed Qin Zhi 'ai $800,000, so she hadn't rented a house and had stayed with her parents.
Over the past year, because of the spa's good location and high profits, her salary had increased several times. At the beginning of the year, she had not only paid off her debt to Qin Zhi 'ai, but she had also made a down payment for a small apartment in March.
At first, she hadn't thought about buying a house, but she had wanted to manage her money. She had accidentally talked to Zero about it, and he had recommended that she buy a house.
He had said that in Beijing, nothing was more valuable than real estate.
Due to her limited savings, she had initially wanted to buy a house in the suburbs, but Zero had recommended that she buy a house in the center of the city.
At that time, the down payment had cost her all of her savings, but with the recent increase in property prices, Xu Wennuan was still grateful for Zero's advice.
After returning to the apartment, Xu Wennuan exercised on the treadmill on the balcony for half an hour before taking a hot bath and drinking a glass of warm milk. Then, she climbed into bed and fell asleep.
Perhaps it was because she had run into Lu Bancheng during the day, but the past that had been buried deep in her heart was awakened.
She hadn't had a nightmare in seven or eight months, but tonight, she was having one again.
Startled out of her dream, she clutched the quilt tightly and sat up in bed.
She gasped for air for a while, then rolled her eyes and looked around. When she realized that she was in her own home, she let out a sigh of relief.
Compared to the helplessness and panic she had felt when she had woken up from her nightmares, she felt much better now.
She quickly calmed down, lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and went to the changing room to change out of her sweaty pajamas. Then, she walked to the dining room and poured herself a glass of warm water.
Leaning against the dining table, Xu Wennuan slowly sipped the water and glanced at the time on her cell phone.
Three o 'clock in the morning … She seemed to have suddenly thought of something and clicked into the game.
As expected, he saw a joke from Zero Degrees in his friend's chat window.
Xu Wennuan didn't reply. Instead, she scrolled through the chat history.
Every day, at 3 am sharp, Zero Degrees would send him a joke.
This tacit understanding between him and her … was formed at the end of last summer.
At that time, she and Lu Bancheng had already been divorced for half a month. Because of her psychological problems, she would have nightmares every night. That day, perhaps because she was on her period, she was already in a depressed mood. That night, she huddled under the covers and cried her heart out, unable to stop.
She was afraid that when she went to work the next day with a pair of red and swollen eyes, she would arouse the suspicion of the people in the club. In order to distract herself, she clicked on the game.
Unexpectedly, Zero Degrees was online as well. He replied, "It's already so late. Why aren't you asleep yet?"
She cried so hard that her body went limp, and she couldn't reply to his message. After a while, he sent her another message. "Did you have a nightmare?"
