The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 400: The Scumbag Helps Each Other to Defend Nuolan
The sofa area of ​​the Lonely Corner bar.

Nuolan, wearing a white dress with a pink suit on the outside, sat down elegantly on the small sofa. On the big sofa next to her, Zhang Wei and Lu Ziqiao were confused, and Guan Gu had a smile on his face but also some doubts.

"Let me introduce you. This is Wensang's ex-wife. Her name is Nuo... Luo... Ruo..." Guan Gu Shenqi, who was still learning Chinese, was a little stuck. Seeing this, Nuolan smiled and took the initiative to say, "My name is Nuolan."

"Yes, Nuolan." Guan Gu Shenqi said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I can't pronounce some words clearly."

"It's okay, you can call me Mrs. Wen like before." Nuolan smiled very considerately.

However, after a moment of silence, Guan Gu Shenqi said, "Didn't you say before... uh, you didn't want me to call you that?"

"That was before Wen Sheng and I divorced. Now that we're divorced, I don't mind calling you that."

"..."

Lu Ziqiao turned his head and looked at Zhang Wei, and whispered: "Lawyer Zhang, this... is there any logic?"

"This..." Zhang Wei shook his head blankly, "I don't know either."

Guan Gu, who was also confused, thought for a while, then laughed dryly and changed the subject: "Oh, let me introduce them to you. This is Lv Ziqiao, and this is Zhang Wei. We both live in the Love Apartment and are Wen Sang's friends."

"Hello, ex-sister-in-law."

"Hello, ex-wife!"

"..."

Guan Gu Shenqi secretly glared at the two of them. What kind of names are these? !

"I'm sorry, they both have mental illnesses."

Nuolan's face froze slightly, but she quickly adjusted herself and smiled, "Just call me Nuolan."

At this time, Guan Gu Shenqi thought for a moment and asked, "Mrs. Wen, why are you here alone? Are you here to see Wen Sang?"

"I... just happened to be passing by after get off work." Nuolan's face looked a little unnatural, "I was just taking a walk."

"Just walk around?" Guan Gu looked a little strange, and asked, "Didn't Wen Sang tell you where he lives?"

"Of course he did. He said he lives in the Love Apartment, so I came to this bar to hang out!"

"..."

After hearing this somewhat inconsistent answer, Zhang Wei asked Lu Ziqiao in a low voice: "Why do I feel that it sounds weird?"

"Me too." Lu Ziqiao replied.

But then his eyes flashed, and he took the initiative to say to Nuolan with a smile: "Nuolan, we all heard Wensheng say that he had a beautiful and gentle ex-wife. We didn't believe it before, but now we believe it."

"Really? Did Wen Sheng tell you that?" Nuolan's lips curled up. She only believed the first two words of Lu Ziqiao's comment on her: gentle? She had gotten the answer from Wen Sheng now.

"Of course, that's what Wen Sheng said." Lu Ziqiao didn't even blink, and then changed the subject and asked, "Since you're here tonight, why didn't you go to the apartment? Or ask him to come to the bar?"

Hearing this, Nuolan's expression became even more unnatural. She didn't tell her ex-husband that she came to the Lonely Corner Bar next to the Love Apartment. After all, her ex-husband had said that they should give each other some space.

She came here on a whim tonight, and she had no intention of meeting Wen Sheng. At least... at this moment when their relationship had just eased, she didn't want to have another unpleasant experience with her ex-husband because of something like this.

But she couldn't control the impulse in her heart, especially after what happened last night...

how to say?

If the reason why Nuolan broke down and wanted to regret and remarry Wen Sheng after divorcing her was more due to the... uh, spiritual needs over the years, then after last night, another reason that suddenly became amplified was the physiological needs.

It is actually a bit inappropriate to say this, because feelings have always been complicated. It is not easy to separate multiple factors and compare and then make choices. Just like before, she mistakenly thought that her ex-husband had a physical illness, but she did not dislike her ex-husband because of this.

But after the actual verification last night, Nuolan felt that although she would not dislike her ex-husband because of that problem, it did not mean that she did not like her ex-husband to become better.

Countless factual cases have proven that a large part of the problems in couples' relationships stems from disharmony in sex, and many other reasons often extend from this fundamental cause.

Even though this was not the reason for the marital conflict between Nuolan and Wensheng before, after last night, Nuolan felt that she was more... attached to her ex-husband.

After all, the two had not had sex for a long time since her ex-husband started to file for divorce, so the sudden passion last night stimulated her long-dormant hormones again, so that less than a day later, she drove to the vicinity of the Love Apartment as if possessed by a ghost.

But after she came here, she came to her senses. If she suddenly rushed in front of Wen Sheng, would he be angry? She had clearly agreed not to harass her ex-husband.

She wanted to see her ex-husband, but was also worried about actually meeting him. This dilemma made her sit there in a daze just now.

Hearing Lu Ziqiao ask her this, Nuolan was silent for a while before she folded her hands on the bag on her lap and replied, "I didn't tell Wensheng that I was here."

Guan Gu asked curiously, "Why? You've been sitting there for quite a long time."

"I was afraid he would be unhappy to see me coming over unexpectedly."

"Why?" This time all three people were puzzled at the same time.

Guan Gu Shenqi quickly asked, "Wensang said that although you are divorced, you still have deep feelings for each other. Didn't he come to see you last night?"

It’s because he came to see me last night that I couldn’t help but want to come to see him today!
Nuolan sighed in her heart, but smiled and said, "He's right. We are still in a good relationship now, but he also said... divorce is divorce. Even though we have a good relationship most of the time, it doesn't mean that some conflicts don't exist. Since we are divorced, we still have to leave some space for each other."

After hearing Nuolan's words, the three of them looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a moment. This was basically the same as what Wen Sheng had told them.

They can't say anything more about the former couple's marriage now.

Guan Gu Shenqi sighed and said, "No matter what, you and Wen Sang are a perfect match in my eyes. I sincerely hope that you can get back together soon."

"Thank you."

"It's okay. If there's anything I can do to help you, just tell me, Mrs. Wen." Guan Gu Shenqi said politely with a silly smile.

"No need for help." Nuolan smiled, and then she seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, just ask me, I will say 'the plants will not run out of salt, the salt will not be used up'."

"..."

After sorting out the meaning of this, Nuolan asked with a smile: "Are you all... Wensheng's roommates?"

"Roommate? I thought it was some other question." Guan Gu Shenqi laughed and replied, "We are not..."

"Actually, they're more than just roommates!" Before Guan Gu could finish his words, Lu Ziqiao at the side suddenly interrupted him.

Nuolan looked at their faces strangely: "What does this mean?"

Ignoring Guan Gu Shenqi who was stunned, Lu Ziqiao continued: "Wen Sheng and I are not just roommates, we are also good brothers who met each other too late!"

"Lv Ziqiao you...hiss!" Guan Gu Shenqi wanted to ask him why he said that, but he was suddenly pinched on the waist, and he gasped in pain.

Zhang Wei also didn't understand, but he was tactful and didn't say anything. Nuolan was not blind either. She hesitated for two seconds and then smiled, "But Wensheng didn't say that his roommates were all boys?"

"Well, this...actually, we are not all...boys." At the end, Lu Ziqiao slowly turned his head to look at Zhang Wei, and made faces at Zhang Wei at an angle that Nuolan could not see, conveying information.

Although Zhang Wei usually acts dully in front of girls, at times like this, he can always quickly get the information conveyed between brothers.

Then, Nuolan saw the handsome guy named Zhang Wei suddenly pinch his fingers together with a charming smile on his face. He gently pushed Lu Ziqiao with his fingers, and then Zhang Wei covered his face and said shyly, "I am so embarrassed!"

"..."

Guan Gu Shenqi was stunned, and for a moment he didn't understand what these two guys were up to.

And Nuolan was so shocked after seeing this scene that she didn't know what to say next.

Fortunately, the blonde bartender came over and said to Nuolan, "Ma'am, is that white BMW at the door of the bar yours? Please move it, a customer's car is blocked."

"Oh, yes, yes, it's mine. I'll go move it now." Nuolan, feeling saved, quickly agreed and stood up and said to the three of them, "I'll go move the car first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nuolan left immediately.

As soon as she left, Guan Gu Shenqi said unhappily: "Lv Ziqiao, why are you lying again? Nuolan is Wen Sheng's ex-wife, please respect her."

"I respect him very much!" Lu Ziqiao said seriously, "But I think I need to respect Wen Sheng even more. Besides, how can what I said just now be considered a lie? At most, it was the truth with a slight deviation."

"You..." Guan Gu Shenqi was confused by his words, so he stopped thinking and asked directly, "What do you mean? You just asked Zhang Wei to do that kind of... disgusting thing."

"Yes, Ziqiao, although I just cooperated with you, I don't understand what you mean." Zhang Wei, who had returned to normal, also asked.

"You guys!" Lu Ziqiao shook his head and sighed, then said, "Zhang Wei, let me ask you, when you went to the Ultimate Bachelor's Night Party, did you tell your fiancée?"

"..." Zhang Wei's face immediately turned bad when the sad thing was brought up again: "Nonsense, can you talk about this kind of thing?"

"So!" Lu Ziqiao clapped his hands. "Who is Wensheng's roommate? Hu Yifei and my aunt, both girls. How can I tell his ex-wife about this?"

"Aren't you too sensitive? Wensang and they are just roommates. Besides, Nuolan doesn't seem like the kind of person who would get jealous." Guan Gu immediately disagreed with Lu Ziqiao's point of view.

"Guan Gu, do you know why your "Love Three-legged Cat" has always been tepid?"

Hearing Lu Ziqiao's question, Guan Gu was stunned for a moment before saying, "Why? Because the audience doesn't know how to appreciate it."

"Wrong! Because you don't understand love at all!"

"..."

Lu Ziqiao's words were quite hurtful to Guan Gu, and made him instantly angry and humiliated.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How come I don't understand love? Do you think a scumbag like you understand love?!"

"I don't really understand love, but I understand women very well." Lu Ziqiao snorted and laughed, "How can you, who has only been in love once and was dumped at the speed of light, understand love? No, it should be said that you understand neither love nor women. It's like the narrative essays you write in school, it is often the words of true feelings that can touch people's hearts the most, because they have experienced it, while those who have not experienced it either pile up a lot of flashy words, or... they can only write 'It was raining heavily that day, and my mother carried me to see a doctor'..."

Lu Ziqiao paused for a moment, and seeing Guan Gu was stunned, he continued, "OK, let's get back to the point. You said Nuolan doesn't seem like the type of person who gets jealous easily. This proposition is invalid from the beginning, because everyone gets jealous, and jealousy doesn't matter whether it's expressed or not. Just like just now, if Nuolan didn't ask if Wen Sheng's roommate was us, then everything would be fine. But when she asked this question, it means she cares about it and will show it."

"Zi Qiao, is it over? Maybe Nuolan was just asking casually?" Zhang Wei expressed his opinion.

"Really? Did you analyze it in context?" Lu Ziqiao looked at Zhang Wei again, "Nuo Lan herself is not sure whether her ex-husband's roommate is a man or a woman. What does that mean? It means Wen Sheng didn't tell her at all. Then why didn't he tell her? It means Wen Sheng doesn't want to say it."

"Why didn't Wen Sheng say this?"

"Didn't you just say you wouldn't tell your fiancée that you were attending a bachelorette party?"

"..."

"Of course, nothing happened between Wensheng and the two female roommates in 3601, but he chose not to tell Nuolan, which also proves another thing, that is, he knew that his ex-wife was a woman who would care about such things!" Lu Ziqiao analyzed confidently. In fact, there was one more thing he didn't say just now, which is that he not only understands women, but also understands scumbags.

Seeing that the two were silent at the same time, Lu Ziqiao smiled again and said, "I know that it would be difficult for your CPU to handle such a problem, so I stopped Guan Gu from telling the truth just now."

"But it's wrong for you to lie like this!" Guan Gu said firmly.

"Does it matter whether you lie or not? What's important is not to ruin their relationship because of your honesty." Lu Ziqiao said, "Guan Gu, if you are in a relationship with a girl, but one day you go out with another girl alone because of a comic strip or other reasons, even if nothing happened between you, but your girlfriend comes to ask us where you went? Who were you with? A man or a woman? Do you want us to tell the truth?"

"I..." Guan Gu, who was a bit stupid, was stuck in his words, but soon he said righteously, "I have legitimate reasons, and I am innocent. What can't I say?"

"That's why I said you don't understand love or women." Lu Ziqiao sneered, "Even you said you need a legitimate reason, which means you know it's not good to go out alone with other girls, so you have to use so-called legitimate reasons to package it. But it happens that women don't care about reasons at all. What they care about most is whether you are alone with other girls."

"Hiss... that makes sense!" Zhang Wei suddenly understood something, but soon he became discouraged and said, "After hearing what you said, I suddenly became afraid of finding a girlfriend. Why does it feel more difficult than my bar exam?"

"That's why they say women's hearts are as unfathomable as the sea? Dating with girls is a profound science in itself. Otherwise, how could there be so many men in the world who are dumped by women for no apparent reason like you? Because you never know when and why you will suddenly step on a landmine!" Teacher Lu gave them another lesson in the little class of picking up girls tonight.

At first, people thought that "The Guide to Picking Up Girls" was just a useless and gimmicky knowledge post, until later...

"But these are just your guesses! Nuolan only needs to ask Wensang to know that we are lying to her!" Guan Gu Shenqi spoke again at this time.

"Then why didn't she ask before?" Lu Ziqiao said calmly, "Didn't you hear what she said just now? She didn't dare to go directly to Wen Sheng, and she said that there were still unresolved conflicts between them, which means that these conflicts were mainly caused by her, so she was passive. If we tell her that Wen Sheng lives with two young and beautiful girls, although it may not necessarily make her take the initiative and Wen Sheng passive, it will definitely aggravate their conflicts."

"As for whether you are lying or not, Guan Gu, it doesn't matter. Maybe Nuolan also knows that we are lying to her. What matters is that Wen Sheng is our neighbor, friend and my future wingman. We have the obligation to help him block the undercurrent from his ex-wife at this moment." The scumbag in the Magic City said so again.

It’s not easy to be out and about, so we need to help each other.

"But……"

"Don't say buts. Do you believe that Wen Sheng will definitely thank us after he knows what happened here?" Lv Ziqiao felt like he was talking to a cow while lecturing these two people. In the end, he could only helplessly say, "Well, let's do a small test later..."

After saying that, Lu Ziqiao lowered his voice and whispered to the two of them.

At this moment, Nuolan, whose face had returned to calm, walked back.

"What are you guys talking about?" As she approached here, Nuolan's face showed a smile again, "You guys didn't order drinks either, what do you want to drink? I'll treat you."

"How can this be so embarrassing? You are the guest." Zhang Wei's face lit up immediately when he heard someone wanted to treat him. "A bottle of beer will be fine."

Fortunately, he had not lost his mind and knew that this was not someone who could be easily taken advantage of.

"I don't need it." Guan Gu Shenqi grinned and then said, "We were just talking about calling Wen Sang over. After all, since you're here anyway, it would be a bit embarrassing if he doesn't come, right?"

Nuolan's face changed slightly, but before she could answer, Lu Ziqiao said, "Yes, it's a good opportunity for you to enlighten Wensheng."

"Enlightenment? What's wrong with Wensheng?" Nuolan asked curiously.

"Wensheng hasn't been in a good state recently. We took him to see a psychologist today." Lu Ziqiao sighed with a hint of worry on his face.

Hearing this, Nuolan's face immediately showed a nervous look, and she quickly asked: "What's wrong with him? Why did he go to see a psychiatrist? What did the psychiatrist say?"

"Oh, we thought Wensheng had some depression, so we took him to see the psychologist, but he said it was nothing serious and it might just be the impact of the divorce. He should be fine after resting for a while." Lu Ziqiao said again.

"..."

Nuolan fell silent, not knowing what to say. She felt that she should see a psychiatrist. After all, no matter how she looked at it, the divorce was making her emotions fluctuate more.

Obviously, I have broken more defenses!
Guan Gu Shenqi looked at Nuolan's face, hesitated for a while, and then said carefully: "Mrs. Wen, how about you wait a moment? We will ask Wen Sang to come down now. Anyway, your car is parked. If there is no rush, let Wen Sang come and talk to you. He rarely mentions divorce, and we don't know how much impact divorce has on him."

"..."

Nuolan pursed her lips, her fingertips subconsciously tightened her bag, a complex look flashed back and forth in her eyes, after a long while she forced a smile and said: "No, I just drove the car out, I can't stay long, and it's getting late, I'd better go back and rest first."

After he finished speaking, Nuolan said no more. He turned around and left, leaving the three people looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a while, Zhang Wei finally responded and said, "She seemed to have forgotten to buy me a bottle of beer."

"What are the test results?" Lu Ziqiao spread his hands.

……

Outside the bar, Nuolan got into her white BMW, sat in the car in a daze for a long time before slowly driving the car out of the garage and leaving.

She naturally saw that many of the things said by her ex-husband's three friends were false, but she did not expose them. Besides the fact that she was really worried that her sudden arrival would make the relationship with her ex-husband, which had just been eased, become strained, she also wanted to hear what other stories these three people could make up.

It’s okay to hear lies. Smart people should learn how to deduce the true information from the lies.

Just like now, she can be sure that Wen Sheng’s roommate must be a woman, and judging from the attitudes of these three people, her ex-husband’s female roommates are either young and beautiful, or there is more than one, or... there is some story between her and her ex-husband.

No matter which one it was, it made her grit her teeth just thinking about it.

Fortunately, it was not exposed. If it was not exposed, there would still be a chance to operate.

She also didn't ask the three to hide the fact that she came here today. It goes without saying that everyone knows which side these three people are on, and it is impossible for them to hide it.

This is a good thing. Although she didn't meet Wen Sheng directly, she also sent the message that she might come over in the future. The downside is that it broke the agreement to keep space with her ex-husband and might irritate Wen Sheng. The upside is that if they didn't meet, it wouldn't irritate him too much. At the same time, she increased her presence to a great extent.

She didn't dare to hit Wen Sheng, but perhaps it could help prevent other people and other things from happening.

But in fact... Nuolan would rather she was just searching for the enemy in the void.

And when she heard that Wen Sheng had just gone to see a psychiatrist, she subconsciously felt that it was impossible, but she didn't dare to gamble.

Naturally, she didn't believe that Wen Sheng would be depressed. After all, even though they had not met many times during the days since their divorce, she could still feel her ex-husband's condition. After getting to know him more deeply last night, she was even less convinced that Wen Sheng would be depressed.

The reason she didn't dare to gamble was that if Wen Sheng really went to see a psychologist, even if he wasn't depressed, it was to some extent because of her problems that caused him to be in a bad emotional state in other aspects.

After all, it was because of her that Wen Sheng was so determined to divorce.

Nuolan suddenly thought of what Wen Sheng said was the one who had really changed...

That's why she was in a hurry to leave, because she was not sure how the relationship between them would develop after Wen Sheng really saw her here.

It would be better and more controllable to follow the previous situation and let her ex-husband come to her house on his own initiative. Last night was the beginning of everything getting better. It would be better for everyone if she continued like this.

But on the Love Apartment side... Nuolan is still a little worried and has to find a way to break the impasse.

……

So, in May, Ms. Nuo's solution to the problem finally showed signs of success.
