We used to date, I never expected we'd be back together. All this breaking up and getting back together, are you playing with life?
"Uncle Rong, I'm back."
Rong Xu's face lit up with joy: "Xiao Yan is back. Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
"Uncle Rong, I can manage on my own. You have things to do." Lu Qingyan was as sensible as ever.
In just one glance, the two, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, became familiar with each other immediately; time hadn't created any distance between them.
Secretary He watched their interaction and said with a smile, "Ah Xu, now that Xiao Yan is back, how about we go out for dinner together tonight?"
Rong Xu looked at Lu Qingyan: "Xiaoyan, what do you think?"
Lu Qingyan shook her head: "No need, home-cooked meals are fine. Uncle Rong, go eat out with Aunt He. I can stay home by myself."
Secretary He looked a little awkward as she looked at Lu Qingyan and said, "Qingyan, I only decided to go out because you're back. I know there's a new restaurant that's pretty good, so I wanted to invite you to try it."
"No need," Lu Qingyan said, going upstairs, entering her room, and locking the door.
The room was furnished exactly as it had been; the bedside table and chairs were spotless, clearly having been recently cleaned. Lu Qingyan lay down on the bed; the blankets still smelled of sunshine, indicating they had been aired out.
Thinking back to her encounters with Rong Xu and Secretary He, Lu Qingyan silently shed tears.
In a daze, she had another dream. She dreamt that she was in her childhood home, cooking for her mother, Ms. Hu. Ms. Hu complained that she had put too much oil in the cooking and grabbed something to hit her: "Look at yourself! You don't do any housework and just think about being lazy. How much oil do we use? Don't you know how to be more economical? You're just greedy and want to steal some for yourself! You useless jinx, I'll spare your life, and you still don't know how to work properly..."
Finally, Lu Qingyan woke up crying. How long had it been since she'd had such a nightmare? She thought she'd long forgotten it, but in fact, she hadn't forgotten it for a single day.
"Uncle Rong," Lu Qingyan said cautiously, pulling the blanket tighter around herself.
As soon as Lu Qingyan returned, Rong Xu dumped a lot of work on her, leaving her no time to relax. However, Lu Qingyan was quite happy; she could do something for Rong Xu now, shouldn't she be happy?
With a job, the sadness from her past relationship faded considerably, and Lu Qingyan looked radiant with sunshine every day.
Seeing that Lu Qingyan was so calm now, no longer asking him about feelings like before, Rong Xu assumed that Lu Qingyan and Bo Jingxi's relationship was progressing smoothly and didn't actually ask if they had reached that point.
A month later, news spread again from Rong Xu's company that Rong Xu and Secretary He had broken up once more.
Lu Qingyan: "..."
Life isn't a sadomasochistic relationship, why make it so complicated?
Why can't we just break up quietly? Why can't we have a long and lasting relationship? Why do we have to go through all this trouble?
At this moment, Lu Qingyan also didn't understand what Rong Xu was thinking.
Even after becoming single again, Rong Xu remains a highly coveted "fried egg" in the entertainment circle. She looks appealing and appetizing, making people want to devour her.
Rong Xu continued to live a simple life, occasionally drinking with Lin Nan. As for Qin Zhi, he had finally overcome countless hardships to bring his wife home, and he was extremely smug, claiming he would never dare to come home late again.
