Rebirth with Love

The weather is a bit gloomy.Autumn in the south is no different from summer. Although it is October, the temperature is still around [-] degrees.It wasn't exactly sweltering heat, but it wasn't easy either.The gloomy weather added a lot of stuffiness to the heat.Luo Rui pulled the collar of his shirt, and walked into a western restaurant called Casablanca meticulously, Qin Yanming had already arrived.Seeing him, he raised his hand as a gesture.Luo Rui bit her lip and walked over: "Editor Qin."

"In private, you don't need to have such a status." Qin Yanming smiled: "You are a disciple of your mentor, and you are considered to be of the same generation as me. You can just call him Big Brother Qin."

Luo Rui smiled unnaturally, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I should have treated you to a meal, but I haven't been free." Qin Yanming put the menu in front of Luo Rui: "Order yourself, whatever you want."

Luo Rui flipped through the menu.Although Qin Yanming looked amiable and approachable, he was still a student of his father.Luo Rui never dared to make mistakes.Qin Yan was about forty years old, and he was the leader of the unit.These two mountains are very high and cannot be easily crossed.

Luo Rui flipped through the menu, and was not very familiar with Western dishes.Turned back and forth again, a little distressed.Qin Yanming seemed to see some clues: "The signature of this restaurant is black pepper steak."

"Oh, let's do this." Luo Rui was a little embarrassed.

"lettuce salad?"

"Ah."

Basically, Qin Yanming is the agent.Fortunately, it was Qin Yanming, Luo Rui didn't feel ashamed.He exhaled lightly, and looked at the senior sitting opposite him.Generally speaking, Qin Yanming is a middle-aged man with temperament.It may be said that he is a middle-aged person, which seems a bit too old. 38 years old, well maintained, looks not too different from Zhou Jiashu.Successful career, happy family, everything is like a role model for young people.

After ordering, we waited for the food to be served.Qin Yanming looked at Luo Rui and smiled slightly: "How is Mr. Luo?"

"He's okay. No matter how busy he is, he still goes to exercise when he wakes up early. He also likes to grow flowers and fish at home."

"These interests are good."

While eating western food, the topics of chatting were nothing more than daddy, things in college and so on.Qin Yanming would always start the conversation, so as not to let the atmosphere become cold.This made Luo Rui feel less alienated from Qin Yanming.

"Can you still get along with Zhou Jiashu?"

Luo Rui had just cut a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth, when Qin Yanming brought the topic to Zhou Jiashu, causing him to almost choke.Reluctantly swallowed the meat: "It's okay."

Qin Yanming looked at him and smiled lightly: "His temper is a bit weird. But he is really a talented person, and he can learn things if he has a good relationship."

Luo Rui could only nod in agreement.Thinking of Zhou Jiashu makes people feel a bit overwhelmed.They met in that way, and they just happened to work under him and learn from him.Luo Rui breathed out quietly, and the speed of eating slowed down a lot.

Qin Yanming went in without knowing it, and poured some red wine for him: "You don't discriminate against gays, do you?"

"No..." Luo Rui hastily denied it.

Qin Yanming smiled: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No." Luo Rui answered honestly.

"Do you like men or women?"

……

This way of asking is really strange.Luo Rui's ears turned red, and he didn't make a choice immediately.When he said the word "woman", Qin Yanming had an ambiguous smile on his face.Luo Rui couldn't help shivering.It's as if his own tricks have already given him a panoramic view.Could it be that Zhou Jiashu revealed something in front of him?

When Luo Rui was cutting the steak absently, Qin Yanming suddenly raised his hand: "Jiashu."

Luo Rui's hand trembled suddenly.Looking back, Zhou Jiashu walked over with the handsome young man he saw in his office that day.

"Editor Qin." The handsome young man greeted first.Qin Yanming narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "Dongwen is also together."

"Could it be that I can't come here to eat?" The young man named Dongwen raised the corners of his eyes and said jokingly.Qin Yanming pursed his lips: "Of course."

"Do you mind if we sit here too?" The young man unceremoniously sat on the empty seat next to Luo Rui.

"You are so generous to sit down, of course Editor-in-Chief Qin will not refuse." Zhou Jiashu also sat beside Qin Yanming with a smile on his lips, and glanced at Luo Rui leisurely.Luo Rui bit the bullet: "Deputy Editor Zhou..."

"This is the art editor Tang Dongwen." Qin Yanming pointed to the beautiful young man.

"Hi, my name is Luo Rui..."

"We've seen it before." Tang Dongwen glanced at him bluntly with his chin propped up: "It's quite juicy. You have to guard against these two wolves, and they will compete fiercely with each other."

Luo Rui stared blankly at Qin Yanming and Zhou Jiashu in front of him, and then at Tang Dongwen.

"Talking nonsense." Qin Yanming frowned slightly, and smiled at Luo Rui: "These people have nothing to hide, and they like to bully new colleagues."

"Don't ruin my reputation, I don't like to bully people." Tang Dongwen smiled, with a touch of coldness in his smile.Luo Rui also pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed twice.Secretly felt that Tang Dongwen seemed to be hostile towards him.I don't know what kind of threat he, a new recruit who just joined the newspaper, can pose to the American editor. Obviously, there is no possibility of competition in the job.

I barely finished a meal.Luo Rui wiped his mouth, feeling relieved.Qin Yanming was going to send Luo Rui back, but Tang Dongwen stood up and suddenly felt dizzy while holding his head.Qin Yanming supported him: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Tang Dongwen said so, but leaned on Qin Yanming like a beautiful woman pretending to be drunk and asking for help.

"Editor Qin send Tang Mei to editor, it's very convenient for me to take the bus." Luo Rui said politely.Qin Yanming glanced at him, then at Tang Dongwen.Tang Dongwen frowned: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, just take a taxi, and I will be fast."

"I'll see you off." Qin Yanming helped Tang Dongwen out.Luo Rui and Zhou Jiashu followed behind.He glanced at Zhou Jiashu slightly, with a cold expression.Seeing these two people leave like this, he also looked helpless.Luo Rui secretly looked down upon this person.He also thought that Tang Dongwen and this person were a fixed relationship partner, and it seemed that they were just people who passed the time together when they were bored.Although he already knew that he was not an affectionate gentleman, but he still couldn't agree with this kind of man who only obeyed the male instinct.

Thinking of instinct, Luo Rui thought of that inexplicable night again, and his ears turned slightly red.He bit his lip and looked at Zhou Jiashu as if nothing had happened: "I'll go this way, deputy editor Zhou, goodbye."

"Goodbye." Zhou Jiashu replied lightly.

Part ways.

The night suddenly turned cold.There was a little wind, which made Luo Rui shiver slightly.I waited for a long time but didn't get a bus. It was as if I had hit an evil spirit. I didn't even get a taxi here.Luo Rui glanced at the time on the phone, it was 76:[-], and the last bus on Route [-] left until [-]:[-]...

Maybe he had missed it, Luo Rui decided to take No. 35 to Yuanjing New Village helplessly.It looks like there are two stations away from the rented place, even if there is no car, you can still walk home.Thinking about it this way, a No. 35 road wobbled over.He jumped into the car without hesitation.

Yuanjing New Village is said to be a new village, but it is actually the first batch of modern communities built in the early 80s.It was trendy back then, but it's old now.Dozens of houses with a height of six or seven floors are surrounded by low iron fences, and the fences are covered with wild roses.The hot and humid weather in the south prolongs the flowering period of these flowers.The whole wall is full of dense clusters of flowers, with thousands of flowers pressing down on the branches.Luo Jin took a deep breath of the green aroma, and couldn't help but want to reach out and pinch a branch.Suddenly, the thorns on the rose pricked his hand.He clicked his tongue lightly, sucking his pierced finger.Lifting her eyes slightly, she saw a pair of feet wearing embroidered shoes in front of her.Luo Rui took a step back subconsciously, raised his head and saw that it was not the female ghost that he thought of first, but an old woman with chicken skin and white hair.She was wearing a buttoned short-sleeved Tang suit. Although she was very old, she looked very good-looking.

The old woman came out of the darkness and saw Luo Rui's face was stunned, she took a step forward and tentatively called out: "Zhuang Fan?"
