The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 389 Melancholy is a talent (II) The first fight between two scumbags

In room 3601.

When Wen Sheng pushed the door open, he saw Hu Yifei sitting on the sofa reading a book.

"Yifei, you're the only one here, where's Youyou?"

"Youyou went to audition." Hu Yifei put down the book and asked casually, "I heard from Youyou that you went to your ex-wife's place last night. How is the situation now?"

"It's fine, you'll get used to it slowly."

Wen Sheng thought about it and decided not to tell Hu Yifei about meeting Qin Yumo in the elevator just now. After all, their classmate relationship has not been discussed yet.

Anyway, we are all in the same building, and we will have the chance to meet each other sooner or later.

And he just said a simple hello to Qin Yumo. As for more communication... the elevator still had to go up, so there was no need to delay.

"Wen Sheng, to be honest, you have the best psychological quality among all the people I have ever met." Hu Yifei raised her thumbs up. "You can face divorce calmly, which is much better than the psychological counselor in our school. He almost became a monk because his wife cheated on him!"

"..."

Wen Sheng laughed dryly, poured himself a glass of water, and then skipped the topic and asked, "Today is the last day of the weekend. Why don't you go out and play but stay at home and read books?"

"Ah, the academy has given me a new teaching assignment, and I have to prepare lessons."

Hearing this, Wen Sheng walked upstairs and said with a smile: "Don't universities use Qing Dynasty PPT for classes? Do you have to prepare lessons specifically?"

"Hey, I'm different from them. I must be responsible for my students." Teacher Hu wrinkled his nose, his tone full of conviction.

"Come on, Teacher Hu!"

Seeing Wen Sheng going upstairs to his room, Hu Yifei asked again, "By the way, Wen Sheng, when we were having dinner last night you said you were going to quit your job and take a break. Are you really planning to do that?"

"Yeah... yeah, I just want to play bad for a while." Wen Sheng thought for a moment and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's better to rest for a while." Hu Yifei said with a smile, and she put away her smile only after Wen Sheng entered the room.

Does divorce really have no impact on new roommates?
Teacher Hu was a little worried.

……

After returning to the room, Wen Sheng took a breath. He went back to Nuolan's place at two o'clock in the morning last night. Although he just took a nap, he was still awake until three o'clock. He was still sleeping this morning when he was woken up by his ex-wife again.

It's a rare moment of relaxation, just right for a nap.

In fact, what he said to Hu Yifei just now was the truth. He really wanted to give up.

Ideas like one should make a career after traveling through time or being reborn are only stronger in the previous lives.

But now, he really can't muster much interest, even though the timing is very good now, better than in his previous life, and it is almost the eve of the take-off of many industries, he doesn't have much interest in getting involved.

It’s not that I feel tired, but I feel that there is not much meaning in making another career.

Because since we can be sure that we will leave this world in the future, what is the meaning of everything we do in this world now?

If a person could achieve immortality, regardless of the influence of external factors, the person himself would be in great trouble. Jian Xi had been troubled by the accumulation of memories from several lifetimes, which made his emotions gradually numb. The changes of different identities in different time and space did not cause him to have a split personality, but he would occasionally wonder who he was now.
This predicament would have gotten deeper and deeper until the woman in the piano room in his previous life used Lin Ting's body to pull him out of it briefly.

If that woman had not appeared, after he had experienced his previous life dully, perhaps in this life, perhaps in the next life, or perhaps in some future life, he, the immortal soul, would become increasingly indifferent to the joys, anger, sorrows, and fears of people, until he continued to wander the heavens as a soul without any emotions but filled with countless memories.

Call it an anchor point or be sentimental, that unexpected meeting across time and space meant a lot to him. At least it made him feel that he might not be alone on this journey with an unknown end, and his gradually numb emotions were stimulated and revitalized.

The curse of immortality has been largely eliminated since then.

But time travel and rebirth does not mean immortality, which is also the biggest reason why Wen Sheng wants to give up now.

One of the fundamental driving forces of human behavior is the perception of limited time. Those who live forever may lose the deadline effect, leading to procrastination, laziness, or loss of sense of purpose. Those who are constantly reborn will fall into nihilism. After all, when the careers they have worked hard for in each life are constantly reset to zero with each rebirth, how much motivation will be left to start over again?
Every time he travels through time and is reborn, the feeling of nothingness that everything will be disillusioned will be deepened. Even though Wen Sheng knows that it is wrong to think this way and that it will make him slide into the abyss of nihilism, sometimes he cannot help but think this way, so now, he plans to give up first.

It’s not that he does nothing and just sleeps every day, but he doesn’t have too many ideas of taking advantage of the opportunities of this era to do something big.

After all, with his current abilities, even if he only deals with futures and stocks, he basically won't worry about money.

He had never heard of the music company that his original body had worked for in the future. It was bound to be lost in the tide of the times. In addition, he had never thought about working, so he submitted his resignation report as soon as he got divorced.

But after all, he is also a senior executive of the company, and because it is not a large company, he still holds a small portion of the company's shares, so even if he wants to resign, he has not yet completed the transaction.

As for what to do next, he hasn't thought about it, or he's too lazy to think about it.

But although the timeline of the original drama is quite confusing, it seems that several years have passed. How should I spend this time?
As the bad guy was getting sleepy, thoughts started to come to his mind.

Is there anything he can do that is both suitable for him to be bad and does not require too much energy, but at the same time can arouse his interest a little, relieve his negative emotions and not make him really rot in bed?
It would be best if it could cultivate one's sentiments and benefit oneself quickly.

……

"Yifei, is Wensheng back?"

In the evening, at the Lonely Corner Bar, Hu Yifei and Tang Youyou were sitting on the sofa drinking and chatting, when Lu Ziqiao and Zhang Wei came over.

Hu Yifei glanced at him and said, "I came back at noon, but I stayed in my room the whole time."

"Really? He's actually a otaku?" Lu Ziqiao said happily.

"They had a lot of things to do before, so what's wrong with them taking a rest now? Do you think they are all like you, unemployed vagrants?" Hu Yifei said contemptuously.

"I..." Lu Ziqiao's expression froze, and then he said unhappily, "Why am I unemployed? My job is the great human cultivation project!"

People in the apartment were no longer surprised by Lu Ziqiao's past work as a sperm donor and human drug tester. After all, Lu Ziqiao almost sold his kidney to make money.

Hu Yifei couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard him package that kind of thing like that. She then looked at Zhang Wei and said, "It's Zhang Wei's first day moving in and he's already started reading books for the judicial examination. Why don't you learn from him?"

"Me? Learn from him?" Lu Ziqiao chuckled, then patted Zhang Wei's thigh and said, "If you come to 3602 more often in a day, you will find that there is something else in that law exam book."

"..."

Zhang Wei looked embarrassed. He brushed away Lu Ziqiao's hand and laughed dryly, saying, "Actually... I'm still reading recent judicial cases. It's just that the causes and consequences of these cases are very interesting. I usually read them as extracurricular reading during breaks."

"Really? The protagonists of the cases in these extracurricular readings are all young women with curvy figure wearing bikinis?" Lu Ziqiao sneered, almost saying that he was reading the pornographic magazines in Zeng Xiaoxian's room.

"Nonsense!" Zhang Wei denied it righteously. Seeing the two girls looking at him strangely, he immediately said, "Of course I am looking at judicial cases."

"Then can you share it with us? I love listening to stories the most." Tang Youyou, who loves gossip, said expectantly.

Zhang Wei's forehead was sweating a little, and his expression became nervous, while Lu Ziqiao smiled and said, "Yeah, remember not to accidentally tell the size and color of the protagonist's underwear, okay?"

"Uh... there was a case about a couple breaking up. The girl was a medical student. When they broke up, she stabbed her boyfriend more than 20 times, but the knife avoided vital organs. In the end, the boyfriend was covered in bandages but only suffered minor injuries." Zhang Wei's brain was working rapidly, and in the end he had to make one up on the spot.

"Ah? So powerful?" Hu Yifei exclaimed, and then said to Lu Ziqiao, "Ziqiao, you should do a good job of professional research before you pick up girls in the future, so as not to be stabbed dozens of times and suffer minor injuries one day."

"In fact, there are several levels of determination for minor injuries. Sometimes, even though the victim is covered in blood, it is still a minor injury," explained trainee lawyer Zhang Wei.

Lu Ziqiao touched his neck and arms, and finally said speechlessly: "What does this have to do with me? Who among the girls I date would be willing to hurt me?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Tang Youyou asked Zhang Wei: "Anything else?"

"And... that is..." Zhang Wei rolled his eyes and said, "There was a couple. The husband got divorced because the woman cheated on him and became mentally ill. He broke into the woman's house with a knife and stabbed her more than ten times!"

"This... is also a minor injury?" Tang Youyou asked.

"That's not the case." Zhang Wei shook his head, and before they could breathe a sigh of relief, he added, "The woman's entire family was wiped out."

"hiss!"

The three of them took a deep breath, and then Hu Yifei complained: "Why are all the cases you see so perverted? Either a breakup or a divorce, either a few dozen stab wounds or a dozen stabs to kill the whole family?"

Zhang Wei spread his hands and said, "There's nothing we can do. Nowadays, young people's marriage and love relationships are complicated, and it is a high-incidence area for various criminal cases."

"That's strange. Zhang Wei and Wen Sheng, one didn't get married and the other got divorced. How can it be so normal?" Hu Yifei pouted.

Lu Ziqiao groaned and said, "Who knows if this is normal? Zhang Wei has seen such abnormal cases, and he might become mentally unstable one day."

"..."

As soon as the words fell, Hu Yifei and Tang Youyou looked at Zhang Wei together, with a hint of different meaning in their eyes.

Zhang Wei looked a little unnatural, and he tightened his clothes and said, "I'm a lawyer, and I have a physical examination every year. Keeping a clear and calm mind is a must for me!"

"He's a trainee lawyer!" Hu Yifei teased.

Tang Youyou suddenly asked a soul-searching question: "And if you were calm, Zhang Wei, you wouldn't have drunk too much and missed your wedding."

"..."

Zhang Wei's expression froze, and then he said unhappily: "Can't we get over this topic?" Seeing this, Hu Yifei quickly comforted him: "Let's get over it, let's not talk about this. Besides, it's not your problem, it's Ziqiao's fault."

"Hey, didn't you say we've let this matter go? Why are you still blaming me?" Lu Ziqiao immediately became unhappy.

"Although the incident has passed, your behavior is still very bad!" Hu Yifei said and looked at Tang Youyou, "yesterday your aunt and I wanted to teach you a lesson, but thanks to Zhang Wei's open-mindedness, we didn't care. Don't take this incident as a lesson!"

"That's right, nephew. If your mother knew that you were doing bad things outside, she would definitely cut off your ears." Tang Youyou also nodded and said, "Now that your mother is not here, I, your aunt, will enforce the family law!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Youyou was about to reach out to twist Lu Ziqiao's ears, but unfortunately her nephew was hiding behind Zhang Wei, so she couldn't do it.

At this time, Lu Ziqiao changed the subject and said, "Don't just focus on Zhang Wei's case. Isn't the newcomer Wen Sheng also divorced? Maybe he is the one who is not mentally normal."

Hearing Lu Ziqiao's words, Tang Youyou slapped him on the leg: "Don't talk nonsense, Teacher Wen is very emotionally stable, it would be bad if others heard it."

"That's right, Lu Ziqiao, Wen Sheng can talk about the divorce so openly and his relationship with his ex-wife is good, so don't spread rumors." Hu Yifei also refuted.

Lu Ziqiao sat up from the sofa, shook his hair and said, "He got divorced from his ex-wife even though he had a good relationship with her? Isn't that abnormal?"

"That's their business. They divorced strategically in order to adjust their relationship better!" Ideological and political teacher Hu Yifei said after thinking for a while.

"Yifei, I'm exposing this!" Zhang Wei raised his hand and said, "Last night, Lu Ziqiao didn't get to eat, so he said he wanted...hiss!"

Zhang Wei started to gasp before he could finish his words, and quickly slapped away Lu Ziqiao's hand that was twisting his waist.

But Hu Yifei narrowed her eyes and said, "Lv Ziqiao, what do you want?"

"I... it's nothing!" Lu Ziqiao said innocently, "I just felt that I missed the opportunity to get to know my new neighbors better last night, so I wanted to make up for it."

"Really? What you said had better be true." Hu Yifei snapped her fingers and smiled amid the crisp crackling sound, "If I knew what bad idea you were up to..."

"No, absolutely not!" Lu Ziqiao waved his hands quickly, "We are all part of the Love Apartment, I really just want to get to know Wen Sheng better!"

"My dear nephew, as your aunt, I also need to warn you not to mess with the teacher."

Anyway, except for Lu Ziqiao, everyone was invited by Wen Sheng to have a meal at Xiaonan Kingdom last night. Since they had benefited from the favor, they should at least protect him.

"What are you talking about? I think I heard my name."

Just at this moment, a voice was heard. Several people turned around and saw Wen Sheng, whom they had just talked about, walking towards them with a smile.

"Uh... nothing, it's just that Lu Ziqiao hasn't seen you for a long time and wants to get to know you better!" Hu Yifei replied immediately.

Seeing Wen Sheng looking at him, Lu Ziqiao quickly smiled and stretched out his hand: "Yes, I had something urgent to do last night and missed the opportunity to get acquainted. I am Lu Ziqiao."

The fact that Lu Ziqiao went to pick up girls last night had already been mentioned during the dinner, and Wen Sheng did not expose it. He smiled and stretched out his hand to shake it: "Wen Sheng, I saw him yesterday when I just moved in."

At this point, the two scumbags in Love Apartment, the bright and the dark, officially met.

"You were not here last night, so I didn't invite you to dinner. How about this, if you want to drink something today, I'll treat you." Wen Sheng said with a smile after sitting down.

"Can I really order anything?" Lu Ziqiao's eyes lit up as he knew he would suffer if he didn't take advantage.

"of course."

"Then I'll drink..."

"Cough cough!"

The little aunt coughed heavily and made a gesture of raking her ears with her fingers. Lu Ziqiao's mouth twitched and said, "It's all right. Cocktails are fine."

Wen Sheng glanced at Tang Youyou, and then seeing that Zhang Wei didn't order anything to drink, he asked again: "Zhang Wei, do you want anything to drink?"

"Me?" Zhang Wei wanted to remind Wen Sheng to be careful of Lu Ziqiao, but there was no chance at the moment, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I still have to read the legal provisions tonight, so I won't drink."

"alright."

Wen Sheng didn't force it, so he found the pretty blonde waitress in the bar and ordered two drinks. After thinking about it, he asked for a glass of ice water for Zhang Wei.

After ordering, Hu Yifei asked, "Wensheng, why did you stay in the room for the whole afternoon? I wanted to call you when I came to the bar just now, but I was afraid you were still sleeping."

"I didn't sleep that long actually." Wen Sheng smiled, "I just thought about my future plans after I woke up, and then I forgot about coming out."

"Oh? Didn't you say before that you wanted to rest for a while?"

"Yes, but rest is rest, but you can't just eat and sleep, sleep and eat. People can't be too idle." Wen Sheng, who had stayed in the room for an afternoon, replied.

"It would be great if some people could have the same thoughts as you, so that they don't have nothing to do after eating." Hu Yifei glanced at Lu Ziqiao as he said this.

Lu Ziqiao: "..."

"Then Teacher Wen, what are your plans for the future?" Tang Youyou asked curiously.

"This... I haven't really thought about it yet." Wen Sheng told the truth.

Lu Ziqiao curled his lips, but quickly put away his smile.

At this time, the blonde waiter brought the drinks, and Wen Sheng picked up the glass and asked, "By the way, Youyou, how was the audition?"

When this was mentioned, Tang Youyou drooped her head like a frosted eggplant, so Hu Yifei answered for her: "Youyou didn't pass the audition, and I just comforted her."

"How could that be? Didn't you say at dinner last night that the role you were auditioning for wasn't a supporting role of a rural woman?" Wen Sheng asked curiously.

"It's a supporting role." Tang Youyou sighed, "But the director didn't like the fact that I've never been married and that I can't play a woman well, so he cast me off."

"..." Wen Sheng looked at him strangely, "Isn't this an anti-Japanese war film? Why are you mainly interested in this?"

"Who knows? I heard that an actress before me was rejected because her horoscope was incompatible with the director."

Hu Yifei comforted him, "It's no big deal. Nowadays, people who make movies and write novels have some abnormal brains. Youyou, just change someone else."

"It's not that easy to get a role. Little actors like us always have to wait for the crew to pick us." Tang Youyou said helplessly, "Now I can only try to see if I can get a role in a drama while I'm waiting for the role."

"Drama is good." Zhang Wei also held a cup of ice water to help comfort her, "Drama is a good way to improve your acting skills. Many drama workers become actors and then they become actors."

"I hope so." Tang Youyou looked like she had lost all hope in life, "No matter how high the dimension is, there must be a chance."

Seeing that the focus of the topic was being diverted, Lu Ziqiao looked at Wen Sheng quietly for a while and suddenly interrupted, "Wen Sheng, I heard that you went back to accompany your ex-wife last night. I would like to ask, you...you have such a good relationship with your ex-wife, why do you want to divorce?"

"Lv Ziqiao!" Hu Yifei looked at Lv Ziqiao with murderous eyes. As soon as the other party opened his mouth, she knew that he was definitely up to no good.

Lu Ziqiao's heart tightened, and he quickly tried to make amends, "I just asked casually, not intentionally looking for trouble... Uh, just pretend I didn't ask."

Wen Sheng raised his eyebrows. Many people have asked this question before, including Guan Gu and Tang Youyou at the dinner last night. He didn't expect that Lu Ziqiao would also ask him this question.

After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "It's okay. I said before that the state of this marriage was not ideal for me and my ex-wife. I definitely think that it is because of our personalities that the gap between the love and marriage periods is a bit big, so..."

"Oh~" Lu Ziqiao nodded, and then asked, "Have you ever considered getting back together with your ex-wife?"

This is also a question that has been asked before. Wen Sheng replied: "Of course I have considered it, but it depends on whether she and I are ready to re-enter the marriage relationship. It depends a bit on fate or destiny."

"That……"

"Cough cough!"

Without waiting for Lu Ziqiao to ask again, Tang Youyou interrupted his speech by coughing a few times, and the ear-raking gesture appeared again.

Lu Ziqiao could only smile and say, "Then I also hope that you can find your destiny soon and find out the will of heaven!"

"Thank you."

"Come on, cheers!" Hu Yifei livened up the atmosphere at the right time and raised his glass to clink with everyone.

Wen Sheng smiled and drank his wine, but his eyes glanced at Lu Ziqiao intentionally or unintentionally. The other party's last blessing was really interesting. If it were someone else, they would have wished him and his ex-wife a speedy reconciliation, but Lu Ziqiao did not wish for this. Moreover, the other party emphasized that "exploring God's will" was placed at the end and slightly emphasized the tone.

Isn’t this so-called “finding out God’s will” just looking at one’s own intentions?

This scumbag has something going for him, he should have figured out something.

At this moment, Lu Xiaobu's hand holding the cup was trembling slightly. He was cheering in his heart, because he dared to guarantee with his life that this new neighbor Wen Sheng was definitely not a good man!

Incompatible personalities? Disparity between marriage and love?
This kind of talk may be fine to fool other people, but Lu Ziqiao doesn't believe it a hundred percent. It sounds fine, but this is definitely not the reason a man who acts as if nothing happened after a divorce would make. In fact, a normal man would not give this reason after a divorce!
As for the answer to the second question, he further confirmed his guess.

God's will? Fate? Be prepared?

This is clearly a sign that she has no intention of remarrying!

Taking the opportunity of drinking, Lu Ziqiao took another look at Wen Sheng.

A familiar scent was gradually sensed by his nose.
