    Lu Zhi began to make serious plans for the future. Working at home has a safe environment and free time, but he never contacts with the outside world, easily loses touch with society, and will become a "weird" in the eyes of his elders.

    He looked at the deposits in several of his cards, and it would not be a problem to set up a store in a few years.The next step was to choose a location. Lu Zhi took a fancy to several places, and then discussed with Zhou Jin, considering the housing price, location, and whether there were any other colleagues nearby, and finally settled on a place.

    The original store owner sent a picture of the real scene, the decoration style is simple and fashionable, Lu Zhi was very satisfied, and made an appointment for a deal in the next year.

    Before that, Lu Zhi would occasionally be in a daze when he was eating, sleeping, or chatting with Zhou Jin. Zhou Jin got used to it, and when he regained his composure, he could continue the chat.

    "Shen Linchuan can really hold his breath," Zhou Jin knew that he still cared about that bastard in his heart, and didn't deliberately avoid the topic, "Do you think he wants to leave or doesn't want to leave? Say he wants to leave, don't hurry upHurry up for some progress, say he doesn't want to, and don't even make a phone call. This kind of person...is very rare."

    Lu Zhi subconsciously glanced at the empty mobile phone and said, "I don't know if Tan Ming has recovered from his illness. Maybe Shen Linchuan is taking care of him day and night, and he can't get away."

    Zhou Jin said in surprise, "Tan Ming is very ill? Didn't he just have a fever?"

    "I didn't ask, but he said that he was in a coma due to a high fever, and that he might have other illnesses."

    After being quiet for a while, Zhou Jin suddenly said: "It's strange, the two of them haven't been in love for a long time, and they haven't been in contact for so many years. When Qin Ming came back and got sick, Shen Linchuan was so concerned?"

    This question was so heartbreaking, Lu Zhi opened his mouth, feeling that he couldn't explain it, it could only mean that Shen Linchuan hadn't let Tan Ming go.

    Zhou Jin said to himself, "But it's understandable."

    Lu Zhi looked over: "Huh?"

    Zhou Jin said: "I remembered that my mother told me a gossip before. My mother has a female colleague who is in her fifties and is nearing retirement. Her husband has been bedridden for many years.The first love of several months is together, and I heard that the two are very hot, the man desperately buys food and clothes, and promises to spend all the money for her."

    Lu Zhi stepped in and felt that in this nominal marriage, he was almost as dead as alive, and it would be a matter of time before Shen Linchuan got together with his first love, which he never forgot.

    "Is first love so unforgettable?" Lu Zhi asked a question.

    Zhou Jin said: "Unforgettable, think about yourself."

    "I'm different. I haven't talked to Shen Linchuan. I've always been in love with him secretly. It's definitely different from real love," Lu Zhi said.Does it look delicious?"

    Zhou Jin has never been in love, but he has a set of theories when talking about it: "It mainly depends on how far they have developed at the beginning. If there is a skin-to-skin relationship, there will be regrets and longings in my heart for so many years. It is very difficult to forget each other."normal."

    Lu Zhi's face turned pale, and he replied in a low voice, "That's it."

    Zhou Jin immediately realized that he had said something wrong. He scratched his chin and said, "I don't think the two of them should have reached that point. What would three months be enough for? Besides, Shen Linchuan and Tan Ming might not both be adults at that time.The hair hasn't even grown yet, so it's probably just holding hands and kissing on the mouth or something."

    Lu Zhi: "..."

    Zhou Jin stood up abruptly: "Do you want some water?"

    "……drink."

    Zhou Jin took the opportunity to escape from the scene, leaving Lu Zhi alone in his imagination.Shen Linchuan and Tan Ming are not very old, they are both successful in their careers, they are the most suitable couple to fly together, but in Shen Linchuan's eyes, he is just a young child who can't stand any wind and rain.

    Lu Zhi was not educated in setbacks since he was a child, so the fall on Shen Linchuan hit him hard.Shen Linchuan felt that he didn't have much ability, so he was depressed and couldn't think of a way to prove to him that he could be alone.

    Even if he bought the store, he still used his parents' money, and what he used was not his real ability.

    And what is his real ability?

    It is calligraphy and painting that he has given up.

    "Zhou Jin." Lu Zhi called out to the kitchen.

    Zhou Jin heard the sound and rushed over: "Hey, what's the matter?"

    Lu Zhi asked him: "Do you think I can paint in the future?"

    "Okay." Hearing the good news, Zhou Jin was surprised and happy, "You were the number one major in your profession at that time. I always thought it was a pity that you stopped painting. Why did you suddenly figure it out?"

    "It's not that I figured it out, it's just that my hands suddenly itch," Lu Zhi said, "But I haven't held a paintbrush for many years, what if I can't draw well?"

    Zhou Jin patted his chest: "If the paintings are not good, I'll buy them all. If the paintings are good, you can hang them up and sell them. The way to sell paintings is not easy. We can also open classes to teach people how to draw. I'm afraid you have this specialty.Food?"

    Lu Zhi smiled and said, "I'm not afraid." His father is a university professor, and he took him to meet the dean of the art department before. He originally wanted him to inherit his father's career and follow the path of a university teacher.I got married so early, and just randomly joined a design company and just stayed there.

    After chatting with Zhou Jin like this, Lu Zhi suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.He is young, energetic, picks up things he puts down quickly, and has nothing to worry about about the future.

    There were also many better opportunities and higher platforms in front of him. In order to live a stable life with Shen Linchuan, he gave up the olive branch that was given to him. Therefore, what Shen Linchuan said was not entirely correct, he could have had betterHis life was for Shen Linchuan to give up all that, not because he was incapable of reaching that height.

    Therefore, the house that was supposed to be a studio became a studio. Years later, Zhou Jin accompanied him to buy furniture and painting materials. The two of them cooperated to assemble the furniture, and directly decided to work together on this studio.

    Lu Zhixue's Chinese painting, Zhou Jin is good at oil painting, and the two of them don't mind having other painting friends join in. They bought a promotional advertisement online, but they didn't expect someone to call the next day.I can come and meet you.

    Lu Zhi agreed.

    He prepared good tea for entertaining the guests, and chatted with Zhou Jin while waiting for others.Fifteen minutes later, the welcome bell at the door rang loudly, and Lu Zhi turned his head to look over, his expression suddenly froze.

    "It's you?" Lu Zhi couldn't help but ask.

    The person who came was none other than Xie Qing who met when was shopping with Shen Linchuan that day. At that time, Lu Zhi felt that this person had an artist temperament, and he was right.

    Xie Qing's reaction was bigger than his: "Why is it you?"

    Lu Zhi emphasized: "I left my name, and you didn't take a look in advance?"

    "The world is so big, who knows if it's the same name?" Xie Qing hesitated for a moment, but walked over slowly.

    Zhou Jin asked at this moment: "What kind of grievance do you two have?"

    Lu Zhi snorted coldly: "You let him talk."

    "We don't have any grievances," Xie Qingbai glanced at Lu Zhi, and said to Zhou Jin, "Which of you two is the boss?"

    Lu Zhi cleared his throat.

    Zhou Jin waited for Xie Qing to sit down before saying, "Quickly call Boss Lu."

    Lu Zhi crossed his chest and looked at the other side.

    Xie Qing reluctantly called out: "Boss Lu."

    Lu Zhi said bluntly: "I can't afford it, I won't work with rude people."

    "you……"

    Zhou Jin was also curious at this time: "Can either of you tell me something? I'm so heart-scratching."

    Lu Zhi said: "This Mr. Xie Qing is Shen Linchuan's crush. The last time I went shopping with Shen Linchuan, I ran into Mr. Xie. There was some friction between us, and then we broke up."

    "Oh." Zhou Jin suddenly realized.

    Xie Qing said dissatisfied: "Who told you that I have a crush on Shen Linchuan? He told you?"

    "Yes." Lu Zhi said.

    Xie Qing's face was a bit ugly.He remembered some rumors he had heard in the past few days, leaned back, and said to Lu Zhi: "Have you heard that Shen Linchuan has a first love?"

    Mentioning this, Lu Zhi still couldn't get over it. After all, it was a ten-year relationship. It doesn't mean that you can let go of it. He said coldly: "I heard, I also know his first love, what's wrong?"

    "It's nothing," Xie Qing said, "I just heard that his first love seems to have been poached by him to work in his company. Did Shen Linchuan ask you for your opinion?"

    Lu Zhi couldn't help repeating: "Poaching?"

    "Yeah, you don't know?"

    Lu Zhi didn't know.He thought that Tan Ming had at least submitted his resume and followed the normal recruitment path, but he was too naive. Of course, Shen Linchuan had to poach talents like Tan Ming to get them.

    Lu Zhi held up his face and said, "I'm not interested in his business affairs, so I didn't ask any more questions, what's the matter?"

    Xie Qing stared at his face carefully, and finally spread his hands: "It didn't hurt you, it's boring."

    Zhou Jin frowned and commented, "Hey, it's really impolite for you to speak like that."

    Xie Qing had a thick skin and said, "Yes, I'm not a polite person."

    Zhou Jin pointed to the door: "Then please go out quickly."

    But Lu Zhi suddenly said: "Wait, what are your skills? Show us both."

    Xie Qing took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and there were more than a hundred of his paintings in the photo album. Lu Zhi and Zhou Jin looked through them, and they exchanged a look in tacit understanding.Although Xie Qing's character doesn't look very good, but the painting is really good.

    In fact, it made sense, after all, Xie Qing and Shen Linchuan were college classmates.

    Xie Qing asked, "What do you two think?"

    Lu Zhi questioned: "You are an art student, why do you claim to be classmates with Shen Linchuan?"

    "Isn't it okay to have known your name for a long time? Both he and I joined the student union in our freshman year."

    Lu Zhi gave him a thumbs up, and said mockingly, "How did you manage to be so confident in front of me? The marriage certificate between me and Shen Linchuan is fake?"

    Xie Qing asked strangely: "Don't you know what people outside say about you two?"

    "How do you say it?"

    "Shen Linchuan never takes you to attend important company occasions, and he never even takes the initiative to mention that there are already people at home. We all feel that you are a dispensable decoration in Shen Linchuan's heart," Xie Qing said, "I was kind to you at first.Curious, after looking at his attitude towards you, I don’t think there is any need for further understanding.”

    Lu Zhi had been to Shen Linchuan's company once, and had no chance to meet Shen Linchuan's friends and colleagues in private, so he had no way of knowing what their marriage would look like in the eyes of others.The whole set would make Shen Linchuan very tired, so he turned a blind eye and closed his eyes, wanting to live his life in such an ordinary way.

    Unfortunately, Tan Ming is still back.

    Lu Zhi suddenly felt that there was no need to hide from Xie Qing, and he generously admitted: "Shen Linchuan and I are planning to divorce, if you still have thoughts about him, you can try hard on him, it's useless to tell me these sarcasm."

    Hearing this, Xie Qinggang's hand that was about to serve tea trembled.

    Xie Qing frowned and asked, "You two want to divorce? Why divorce?"

    "His first love is back," Lu Zhi said, "What else can I do?"

    Unexpectedly, Xie Qing was more indignant than knowing that he was Shen Linchuan's marriage partner: "The divorce is going to happen after the first love comes back?! You two are so casual?!"

    "..." Lu Zhi couldn't understand his brain circuit, "Who are you on?"

    "No, are you here for real?" Xie Qing confirmed Zhou Jin's eyes.

    Zhou Jin nodded at him.

    "Fuck," Xie Qing scolded, "I didn't expect Shen Linchuan to be this kind of person, who would abandon his wife and abandon his first love when he came back... I thought he was pretty good, but now I give up instantly. Then what will you do in the future?"

    Asked the last sentence, Xie Qing's eyes were full of sympathy.

    Lu Zhi: "...Do you want to change your attitude so quickly? I proposed the divorce."

    Xie Qing opened his mouth and nodded affirmatively: "Sure, he can arrange for his first love to go to work in the company today, and buy him a house and give him gifts tomorrow. You are right."

    Lu Zhi said, "Okay."

    The author has something to say:

    Tomorrow, there will be a thousand-word income list, and it will be updated at 23:00, don’t wait for the babies
