Difficult to return

Lu Mingchen's office is on the 28th floor, with a whole glass wall.He was sitting at his desk, holding a pen in his hand, with many different stamps beside him, and in front of him was a thick stack of documents waiting for his signature and stamp.But the others seemed to be in a trance, staring at the floating clouds outside the wall, sitting motionless for a long time.

The phone vibrated on the table, he came back to his senses, picked up the phone and responded mechanically: "Hello, who is it?"

"...I'm Su Han, don't you forget?"

"I remember."

I still remember, but since I came back from Queen that night, my husband's affairs have disturbed him, and I have long forgotten about this new lover.

"Just remember." The other person asked angrily, "What have you been doing lately, and you haven't responded to your messages."

"busy."

"...Okay. What about today, are you free to meet tonight?"

"Not tonight, sorry."

Lu Mingchen looked at the clouds outside the window again.Those clouds seem to be still, but in such a short time, they have actually drifted far away from their original positions.

"...What do you mean, can you tell me? I was wrong when I threw the watch you gave me on the stage that night. I will explain and apologize to you later. What else do you want?"

Su Han's words brought back bad memories for Lu Mingchen. What was thrown at Song Shuhua's feet that night was not only money and watches, but also colorful condoms.

"I didn't think about it. Su Han, I'm a little messed up for the time being. I'll contact you later, okay?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

After a while, Su Han said: "Brother Lu, have you misunderstood something? It's true that I want to sleep, but it's not to the point where you can come and go at any time.

"I promised to stay with you and not make appointments with others, but you hang me like this, are you going to let me keep the festival for you?"

Lu Mingchen frowned: "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I take back what I said before, and you just pretend you haven't met me before."

Hearing that Lu Mingchen's tone was not quite right, Su Han casually said a word of concern: "What's wrong with you... Did your husband find out?"

"..." Hearing these words, Lu Mingchen suddenly felt enlightened.

Su Han was a little distressed, and continued: "There is nothing between us, so far it is still a pure friendship, you can explain it to your husband..."

"When did Tita take the stage?" Lu Mingchen interrupted Su Han, who suddenly had some guesses.

"what?"

"I mean the drag show, Tita, since when did he start performing on stage at QUEEN?"

"I'm not very clear about this, but I started watching his performance two years ago. What's the matter, you also fell in love with him? I told you there is no show, he doesn't accept guests..."

Su Han's chatter gradually became the background noise, but two years ago, it was the time when Lu Mingchen couldn't bear the loneliness and started cheating on their marriage.So if the husband did such an extreme thing, did he really find out that he was cheating, and then use it to retaliate, or to find a psychological balance? In short, he did such a thing?

"You said he didn't pick up customers, are you sure?"

"..."

"You mean he never picks up customers, doesn't talk to those men, does he?"

"...As far as I know, that's the case, but I don't know if he has his own regular customers in private. It is said that Queen's boss dotes on him..."

Lu Mingchen frowned deeply, and unconsciously raised his voice: "Who is the boss of QUEEN?"

"...The surname is Zhou, and I have never seen him before. I heard that he is straight... I said, are you exaggerating? It's normal to be in love with Tita, but no one knows who you are. If you care about these, it's okay. It doesn't make sense."

Lu Mingchen grabbed the phone with one hand and the hair on his forehead with the other, his cheeks were tense.

"Why don't we delete each other." Su Han brought the topic back to them, "Give me an address, and I'll send you the things you gave me."

"No, what is given to you is yours. There is no need to delete each other, maybe we can be friends in the future."

"I don't care. The main reason is that your husband might misunderstand."

"No. I'm busy, so I hung up."

Su Han's words woke up Lu Mingchen.The cheating and betrayal that he thought he had hidden well, actually couldn't stand up to scrutiny at all.He thought that his husband believed what he said because he trusted him, but he didn't think that the other party might have known it a long time ago, but because he couldn't bear the consequences of divorce, he didn't point it out.The husband can only choose not to delve into it, but to believe it.

Although Song Shuhua is weak and easily deceived, he is never stupid.Lu Mingchen remembered that he was at his father-in-law's house during the New Year, and was pestered by relatives of the Song family to send people to the company.It was difficult for him to refuse, and the old man beside him was even more embarrassed. In the end, it was the husband who secretly called the mother-in-law, the most suitable person, to relieve the siege.

It's always like this, no matter whether the matter is related to him or not, Song Shuhua can always be like a bystander, watching everything that happens calmly, seemingly calm, but actually knows what's going on.But Lu Mingchen never thought of this, he fooled his husband like a fool but still thought he was perfect.

He can be so self-righteous, in the final analysis, Song Shuhua's performance is too calm, and his attitude towards him is exactly the same as before he cheated.If he hadn't seen his husband tell big lies and still be so calm, Lu Mingchen would never have believed that his husband could still be so calm after knowing all this.

If he knew it all along, and he just kept silent because he couldn't bear the price of divorce, Lu Mingchen would think of every bit of these years, feeling annoyed and depressed.Song Shuhua's current state is likely to be driven to a dead end by him.And his current pain can only be said to be self-inflicted.

Lu Mingchen slapped himself hard.

When I go home at night, in the kitchen, as usual, there is the busy back of the husband wearing an apron, instead of wearing revealing clothes, exposing two-thirds of his body to everyone.And the smoke and fire in the house made him so warm and at ease, Lu Mingchen suddenly had a sore nose.

If his cheating was Song Shuhua's nightmare, then Song Shuhua's performance was also his nightmare.He will make up for it in the future, and hope that all this can come to an end.

Lu Mingchen walked into the kitchen for the first time, washed his hands, and planned to help.

Song Shuhua hurriedly stopped: "It's almost over, you go out and rest, you're tired enough after working all day."

Lu Mingchen rolled up his sleeves: "I'll help you."

Song Shuhua's eyes moved from the pot to Lu Mingchen's face, a little surprised.The husband still looked at him, not giving up: "What else needs to be done?"

"No." Song Shuhua gestured to the vegetable basket on the side, "I have prepared everything, and I will eat this vegetable after frying."

Seeing that her husband hadn't given up yet, Song Shuhua was amused by his inexplicable stubbornness, so he could only point to the soup on the stove: "Take it out...it's hot, and put on heat-resistant gloves."

He thought that Lu Mingchen would be sent away, but he didn't expect that someone would come in soon, and he handed over the freshly fried beef.Lu Mingchen turned back again, there was no food to serve, so he stood beside Song Shuhua.

"Tomato pork rib soup, pickled pepper beef, are my favorites."

"Ah."

"What do you like to eat?"

"I?"

"Yeah, you always cook my favorite dishes, what about your favorite dishes?"

"I...have no particular likes or dislikes."

"Is that right?"

"Yeah, what did I lie to you for?" Song Shuhua frowned slightly, a little confused.

Not long after dinner, the two washed up and went to bed.As usual, there are two quilts, one occupying one side of the big bed.Song Shuhua turned his back on his back and was about to fall asleep when he was awakened by a hand that suddenly stretched into his bed.

That hand got in through the quilt, but it was quite regular, touched his hand on his stomach, held it and didn't move.Lu Mingchen was also in a sideways posture, hugging him, but not close.

In the darkness, Song Shuhua opened his eyes, and called her husband's name in a daze: "Ming Chen..."

"Wake you up?"

"Not asleep yet."

Lu Mingchen pressed his fingers from the back of his hand: "I want to hold your hand."

"...Mmm." Song Shuhua turned over and lay down on his back, putting his hands by his side so that it was convenient for her husband to hold.

The two men were lying upright on the bed holding hands, looking at the silence of the ceiling, it was a bit funny.

After a while, Lu Mingchen finally said in a low voice: "Ah Hua, let's live a good life from now on."

It was really abnormal, but Song Shuhua only felt more at a loss: "Is there something I didn't do well?"

"No, you did a good job, but I'm not good enough. I will treat you well in the future and won't make you sad or wronged. In the past, it was me...not good enough."

"..."

"Ah Hua..." Lu Mingchen suddenly turned over and approached, hugged Song Shuhua from outside the quilt, and buried his face in the socket of his shoulder.

He wanted to ask her husband if he loved him all these years, and if he still loved him.But this cowardly word came to his lips, but he didn't say it after all.

Song Shuhua swallowed, thinking that this was a sign of her husband courting, and just wanted to say that he should take a bath again.

He didn't make any preparations in advance on Friday night, and her husband was probably stimulated by something. He barged in a little rudely and hurt him a little. Comfortable.

But tonight, my husband didn't seem to have such a plan. He just hugged him, snuggled up to him, and soon began to take long breaths.

But he himself rarely started to suffer from insomnia.

Lu Mingchen's anomaly, his confession and promise today, coupled with his outrage that night, all made him guess that her husband must have received some stimulation from his new lover.

In the past, when there was a new couple, the husband would have a warm period of one or two months.During that time, he seldom went home, and he also had unprecedented freedom. He could go to performances and be freed from his married life.After two months of novelty, the husband will go home more frequently until he gets tired of it and replaces it.

But this time I only went out for one night and came back, so it must have failed.

It turns out that a man like Lu Mingchen still fails sometimes.
