Chapter 105 (6): She had absolutely no rationality of her own mind.

Zhuang Fuyao was very conflicted during this period.

She couldn't deny that during the time she lived with Liang Huaixu, she had actually developed feelings for him, and more than once thought that she should go with the flow and rekindle their old flame.

But another voice told her to calm down, that the current happiness was only temporary, and that marriage involves more than just love; it also involves the mundane realities of daily life.

Even if the person standing in front of her now is a young Liang Huaixu, can she be sure she won't repeat the same mistakes?

The answer is no.

Their failed marriage was a mystery; it ended without clear right or wrong, like a veil of mist that left her uncertain about how to hold on. So even given another chance, she still wasn't sure.

She was in a bad mood and didn't want to see Liang Huaixu all the time, so she simply went to stay at her grandmother's suburban house for a while.

Grandma Zhuang still found it strange.

My granddaughter usually stays for about three days when she comes to visit, but this time she's been here for so long. She said a while ago that she would be too busy to come over.

When she noticed her granddaughter staring blankly at a variety show on TV, Grandma Zhuang finally realized something was wrong and asked in a serious tone, "What exactly happened?"

No.

"You still say no? You don't usually like watching variety shows, but I specifically counted today, and you've been staring at the TV for half an hour."

"..."

Zhuang Fuyao felt that her grandmother was indeed her grandmother; she couldn't hide it any longer, so she had no choice but to tell the truth, "It is indeed a small matter..."

"Is it related to Xiao Qin?"

Zhuang Fuyao looked puzzled. "What does this have to do with him?"

"So how are things going between you and him?"

"Nothing much, neither of us was interested in the other."

"That shouldn't be the case. How could anyone look down on my granddaughter?"

She chuckled, "Grandma, do you think your granddaughter is a heartthrob?"

Grandma Zhuang pinched her granddaughter's cheek, "Isn't she a heartthrob!"

After chatting for a while, Grandma Zhuang noticed that her granddaughter was in a better mood, so she asked, "Fufu, do you still remember Xiao Liang?"

"No, how could that be? That's impossible!" Zhuang Fuyao lowered her head and picked at her nails, denying it repeatedly.

She feels that she's been regressing in her ways lately.

In the five years since her divorce from Liang Huaixu, she has never lacked suitors, all of whom are outstanding and handsome, but she just doesn't feel anything for them. She once thought that she had closed her heart and locked away love.

Who would have thought that being provoked by the younger version of Liang Huaixu would reveal her true colors? She wasn't as rational as she thought she was.

Zhuang Fuyao let out a breath and made a decision, "Grandma, are there any other blind dates?"

Grandma Zhuang thought her granddaughter had come to her senses and was overjoyed. "Of course there are! What kind do you like?"

Zhuang Fuyao wondered if she had some kind of attraction to younger brothers, which was why Liang Huaixu had stirred her heart so deeply.

"Someone younger than me, with a youthful vibe, tall and handsome. I don't care how much money he makes, but he needs to spend more time with me and know how to comfort people and provide emotional value."

The more Grandma Zhuang listened, the more uneasy she felt. Why did this sound so much like someone looking for a gigolo? She tapped her granddaughter on the head, saying, "You're getting more and more indecent."

Zhuang Fuyao cried out in pain and said innocently, "How am I being indecent?"

Grandma Zhuang glanced at her and said, "Is this your standard for finding a husband? It sounds like you're looking for something improper..."

"..." Zhuang Fuyao thought to herself, "This is truly a miscarriage of justice."

-

Grandma Zhuang was getting on in years and didn't know many young people, so she entrusted the matter to her son.

After hearing what his mother said, Zhuang Shaoping couldn't believe it at first. He only dared to go back and tell Ji Lan after confirming it was true several times.

So within two days, Zhuang Fuyao received a huge stack of documents, making it seem like she was an HR person recruiting talent.

Ms. Ji has a very wide network of connections, and all the people she finds are talented young men who are both good at their jobs and handsome.

Zhuang Fuyao quickly flipped through the photos, deciding to start with the one who started the company, looking at the information and pictures. He seemed to be similar to Liang Huaixu.

A couple of days ago, her car was hit and sent to the 4S shop for repairs, so she had to take a taxi there. She had just opened the taxi app when a car sped past her, then slowly reversed and finally stopped next to her.

The driver's side window opened, revealing a face that was all too familiar.

Where are you going? Shall I give you a ride?

She said no, but Liang Huaixu pretended not to hear, got out of the car, pulled her into the passenger seat, and then carefully fastened her seatbelt.

What are you doing! Are you sick?

How did you know?

Sensing the unfriendly look in someone's eyes, Liang Huaixu smiled and said, "Even if we're roommates, we can still hitch a ride, right?"

Zhuang Fuyao regretted the harsh words she had just blurted out, but she didn't want to talk to him anymore.

After driving for a while, Liang Huaixu asked her where she was going.

"Hailanji".

"Where are you going and what are you doing?"

Zhuang Fuyao glanced at him. "Is this something you should ask about roommates?"

Liang Huaixu shrugged. "Then I won't ask."

Zhuang Fuyao deliberately brought up the topic: "Going on a blind date."

The air pressure inside the car seemed to freeze for a moment.

Liang Huaixu picked up the iced Americano next to him, took a sip, and quickly masked his emotions. He smiled and said, "Sure, it's yours."

The second half of the journey was spent in silence.

Zhuang Fuyao met a blind date who was similar to Liang Huaixu: a graduate of a prestigious university, a company owner, and a man of refined manners with a touch of nobility.

I thought she was familiar with this type of person and that the blind date would go smoothly, but after only ten minutes, I felt extremely uncomfortable. Every word she said exuded a strong sense of superiority.

Before she could say two words, the other person steered the conversation back to her, talking about his achievements at work and where he owned property in Jiang City…

She knew that blind dates were like this, but she couldn't help but wonder if love could really exist between people who were matched based on such conditions.

Moreover, other people's achievements and wealth are not of much concern to her; what she cares about more is whether she can be happy with this person. And in just a short while, she felt unhappy.

Ugh, another incredibly boring blind date.

Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice. There was some distance between them, but the voice was so familiar that it was hard for Zhuang Fuyao not to notice it.

"Sir, are you waiting for a friend or are you alone?"

"I'm alone, please give me the same one as that lady."

The waitress followed the customer's gaze and saw a man and a woman sitting there. She showed a gossipy expression, but quickly concealed it with her professionalism, and smiled politely, "Okay, please wait a moment."

Zhuang Fuyao quickly sent Liang Huaixu a message: 【Why are you here?】

Liang Huaixu: [I've come over for dinner.]

Zhuang Fuyao was speechless for a moment, then closed her phone.

Two seconds later, the phone vibrated a few more times.

Liang Huaixu: [You wouldn't refuse, would you?]

Liang Huaixu: [Sister, you're so domineering! I'm offering to be your driver for free, and you won't even let me eat.]

Zhuang Fuyao: "..."

She discovered that Liang Huaixu had indeed developed some of the art of teasing.

Afterwards, he even summarized the shortcomings of her blind date compared to him, and finally "thoughtfully" gave her a suggestion: "Why don't you come to me?"

Zhuang Fuyao wanted to refute, but couldn't.

Because Liang Huaixu was telling the truth, that person was indeed inferior to Liang Huaixu in every way. She stared blankly out the window.

Her phone vibrated twice; her cousin, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly sent her a message.

Zhuang Fuyao immediately cheered up and said to Liang Huaixu, "I'm not going home. Just drop me off at the roadside around the corner."

"Any more blind dates planned? I happen to be free, I can go with you and even help you choose someone."

Zhuang Fuyao was speechless and glanced at him. "My sister is back in China. I'm going to see her."

-

After getting off the bus, go into a small alley, and you'll find the hidden gem of a quiet bar that Zhuang Fuyao discovered while exploring shops with her cousin.

Zhuang Fuyao waved her cousin's hand, "Let me see, are there any broken arms or legs?"

Huang Jiayu laughed and scolded, "Can't you speak properly?"

"I was just worried about you. I hadn't heard from you for several months, and I was so anxious that I was about to call the police. In the end, my uncle called me and said he had contacted you, so I didn't call the police."

Huang Jiayu scratched his nose. "It happened so suddenly, we didn't have time to notify them."

She recounted the whole story of how she escaped to the island, and then asked, "Are you really going on blind dates? I couldn't believe it when my dad told me."

"Don't even mention it, I don't believe it myself, but I really just came back from a blind date."

Huang Jiayu gave his sister a meaningful look, "Tell me your story."

"Sigh." Zhuang Fuyao sighed deeply and began to tell her cousin the whole story.

After Cheng Beibei's death, her cousin became her only confidante, and she recounted the dramatic events she had recently encountered.

Of course, she kept Liang Huaixu's soul-transmigration a secret.

It's not that I don't trust my cousin, but I feel that it's better if fewer people know about this. If more people know, even if they don't mean it, they might accidentally let it slip.

The two sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they chatted enthusiastically, then drank some alcohol, becoming very excited.

It's different from the hustle and bustle here.

In the parking lot near the bar, Liang Huaixu smoked one cigarette after another, a stark contrast to his tolerant demeanor when he took Zhuang Fuyao to her blind date during the day. His eyes held a hint of jealousy and envy.

Neither Qin Zhenglin nor this guy today is good enough for her, but they can still go on blind dates with her.

He didn't even get a chance.

During their time together, he could sense that Zhuang Fuyao was different from before, and he could also sense that she wasn't as happy as she used to be.

Every time he thinks about this, he feels resentful towards his future self, for not being able to protect the person he loves.

Besides that, she was also very jealous.

He might even be jealous of himself, jealous of the timeline in which he had her companionship from his twenties to his thirties.

These are things he doesn't have.

He was very unwilling and didn't understand. When Zhuang was with him, she was clearly very relaxed and happy. There were no irreconcilable conflicts between them, so why couldn't they get back together?

He didn't think he was any worse than these men who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Since he was able to tell Zhuang Fuyao that he would consider him, he must have been fully prepared and confident that he could manage this relationship well.

He is unlikely to fall in the same place twice.

Two hours later, when he saw Zhuang Fuyao come out, he got out of the car to greet her and said hello to Huang Jiayu.

Huang Jiayu exchanged a few pleasantries with him. Her sister had drunk quite a bit, and she felt relieved to hand the person over to Liang Huaixu.

Liang Huaixu: "Let me take you home."

Huang Jiayu smiled and said, "No need, I have an appointment with a friend for an evening event."

"Okay." After saying goodbye to Huang Jiayu, Liang Huaixu took Zhuang Fuyao into the car. While helping her fasten her seatbelt, he smelled a strong odor of alcohol.

That's quite a lot of drinking.

When they got home, he went to make her a hangover soup and urged her to drink it.

After Zhuang Fuyao finished drinking, she wanted to take a shower, but he stopped her, saying, "Rest for a while before you shower."

Zhuang Fuyao, still dazed from drinking, asked, "Why?"

"I'm afraid you'll faint."

"oh……"

After resting for half an hour, Liang Huaixu went to help her adjust the water temperature.

"You can go in now, but don't take too long to shower. If it takes more than twenty minutes, I'll barge in."

Zhuang Fuyao asked, puzzled, "Why did you barge in?"

She cursed, "You scoundrel."

"..."

Liang Huaixu frowned, feeling a headache coming on, but didn't bother arguing with the drunkard. While she was taking a shower, he went to another bathroom.

He washed himself very carefully to get rid of the smell of smoke. When he came out, it was exactly twenty minutes later, and Zhuang Fuyao still hadn't come out yet.

He waited two more minutes but was still a little worried. He couldn't worry about that anymore and went straight in to take a look.

In the steamy bathroom, she fell asleep leaning against the edge of the bathtub, her cheeks flushed like a peach blossom from the alcohol.

"Fufu."

"Hmm?" Zhuang Fuyao responded, half-asleep.

After confirming that the person hadn't fainted, Liang Huaixu breathed a sigh of relief, rolled up the bath towel next to him, dried her off, carried her to the bed, poured a glass of water and placed it on the bedside table, and then went to his desk on the living room balcony to work.

Today, I had to postpone a meeting until tonight so I could accompany her to her blind date.

It took an hour to finish.

During his break, he originally intended to go to the second bedroom, but then felt uneasy about her sleeping alone, so he turned around and went to the master bedroom instead.

Zhuang Fuyao was half asleep when she opened her eyes and was suddenly surprised to see Liang Huaixu changing his clothes.

With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his muscles rippled as he took off his clothes, creating a wild and beautiful effect.

She thought she was dreaming, so she moved closer and hooked his bare back with her toe, and smiled.

Liang Huaixu froze.

Looking back, a surge of heat rushed up my face.

He had just carried Zhuang Fuyao to the bed and forgot to dress her...

He didn't dare to move an inch.

Seeing his dazed look, Zhuang Fuyao was not happy. In her previous dream, he had been so passionate and proactive. What was wrong with him today?

"Come here." She beckoned.

Liang Huaixu's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he dared not move.

Unable to get his attention, Zhuang Fuyao pulled him onto the bed and sat directly on his waist. Faced with her being so proactive, Liang Huaixu, who had been flirting with him in the car just a few days ago, suddenly became indifferent.

His heart raced, and he said nervously, "Fufu, you're drunk."

"I'm not drunk, I know who you are."

"who I am?"

"Liang Huaixu, my ex-husband."

"Hmm." Liang Huaixu's voice was hoarse.

At this moment, Zhuang Fuyao suddenly reached down and grabbed.

Liang Huaixu was startled and quickly grabbed her hand. He grabbed it so tightly that he couldn't control his strength.

This only excited Zhuang Fuyao more, making her think that Liang Huaixu in her dream was playing some kind of game with her. So she increased her strength, using her martial arts skills to completely subdue Liang Huaixu with her softness.

Liang Huaixu's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes darkened with melancholy.

He should have stopped her, but he couldn't bear to.

If he misses tonight, they might really just be friends from now on, and he doesn't want to be friends with her.

This was a multiple-choice question that required no thought, so he obeyed his instincts and stopped resisting, letting her play with him as she pleased.

Only at the very last moment did I discuss it with her, saying, "We can't go in; we haven't prepared the necessary tools."
