Chapter 1

At 7 o'clock in the evening, in a small private room in a restaurant in Haizhou City, Maureen and her husband Fang Tianlei were sitting at both ends of the table and talking.

The meals on the table looked hearty, but only a little bit of each dish was taken away.

Maureen is forty-one years old and works in an administrative department of a university.

Her husband Fang Tianlei is three years older than her and is a teacher at a key high school in Haizhou.

The two have a daughter with good academic performance, named Duoduo.

Originally, this family was a model family that was envied by most people around them.

However, not long ago, Maureen accidentally learned that her husband seemed to be outside.

Facing such a thing, Maureen did not lose her mind.

She calmly collected some evidence, and then played a card with Fang Tianlei.

When Fang Tianlei saw that Maureen knew, he no longer wanted to hide anything and told her everything that Maureen wanted to know.

Naturally, both of them agreed to divorce, and Fang Tianlei quickly packed up his things and moved out.

A few days later, Duoduo, the daughter who lives in the school, went home.

When she first got the news, she couldn't believe her ears.

However, seeing her father and mother does not seem to have broken up like many divorced couples, which makes her mood a little calmer.

After considering who to live with in the future, she finally chose to follow Maureen after a long time of consideration.

That night, Fang Tianlei made an appointment with Maureen for dinner, which was a farewell meal, and to discuss the last issue.Especially in terms of property division.

Maureen, I know I'm sorry for you.But please forgive me for not being able to leave the house with purity.

Maureen nodded calmly and said:

Well, I understand.You make a lot more money than me, and you really carry it on our family.You are wrong with cheating, but I definitely have a responsibility to break up the marriage and become what it is now.

I know, I don't care much about my family.Since I mentioned it the year before yesterday, I have done even less about this family.To be honest, I owe you too.Now, even if we both do not owe each other.According to my idea, yours belong to you and mine belong to me. You can divide the difference as much as you should.

Then your car belongs to you, my car belongs to me, the house...even if it is given to Duoduo.The deposits at home are shared by three of us.

no problem.

Fang Tianlei took a deep breath and said:

Thank you, and you are willing to give me a decent amount.

Maureen curled her lips slightly, shook her head and said:

It’s nothing, divorce is something like that every day and every place, and not every couple has to fight to the death.After all, we had a pretty good life in the years before us.Then when you separate, there is no need to tear your face.Your decency is exchanged for your efforts to this family over the past decade, not me.

Fang Tianlei stared at Maureen for a few seconds, and there seemed to be memories in his eyes, as if there were aftertastes, and as if there were sighs.Finally, he also said with a smile:

It’s different for those who do administration, and there is nothing wrong with this.

Of course, I didn’t rely on my relationships, so how can I do without some real skills?

Seeing that the atmosphere was eased and the main thing was finished, both of them felt a little hungry, so they continued to chat while eating.

There were laughter interspersed in the voices of the conversation from time to time, and it was impossible to tell that these were two people who were about to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to file a divorce.

Two days later, Maureen and Fang Tianlei officially completed the divorce procedures.In the parking lot, the cars of the two people were very close.Fang Tianlei looked at Maureen who had already walked to the car and stopped her.

Maureen.

Um?

In the future, can you still be a friend?

Maureen paused for a few seconds and said:

If you want to see Duoduo, you can come to my place anytime.

OK, thank you.

At the exit of the parking lot, the two cars drove in two directions.A marriage comes to an end.

After the two divorced, Maureen told her parents about this.

The anxious mother of Mo quickly pulled her wife and rushed to Haizhou.

With his parents here, Maureen doesn't have to worry about his life.

However, although she was very casual when she divorced, she still had some knots in her heart.

Whether at home or at work, my condition has never been very good.

The supervisor is also a lesbian, ten years older than Maureen.

She saw that Maureen was in a bad state, and after asking, she found out that Maureen was divorced.

Seeing that Maureen could not concentrate on her work now, the leader suggested that she take advantage of the summer vacation to go out for a trip and relax.

When Maureen went home and told her parents, the old couple had the same idea.

So, after Maureen finished all the work at hand, she bought a plane ticket to Siji City, Nanhai Province.

At noon that day, at Haizhou Airport, Maureen was saying goodbye to her parents and daughter Duoduo.

Mo's mother held Maureen's hand and said:

Linlin Ah, since you have decided to go out for a trip, you must relax and adjust your mentality.

Maureen smiled and patted her mother's hand, saying:

Mom, don't worry.After all, I am still a person in his forties and can take good care of himself.

Mo's father said:

If possible, it would be the best.You don’t have to worry about your home, just have a good time.

Well, I'm not worried. I'm not worried about having my dad here, I'm relieved if I have one hundred.

After Maureen said that, she looked at her daughter Duoduo again, and the little girl immediately said:

Mom, don’t worry, I will definitely study hard.

Haha, it seems that in your heart, mom will not say anything else except studying.

Of course, I will be in my third year of high school next semester. What else can you care about besides studying?

After hearing this, Maureen suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but she did not show it. Instead, she touched Duoduo's head and said:

Of course it's not just learning.You have to remember that you will soon be an adult. You can’t just take care of you, but you have to learn to take care of your grandma and grandpa, do you know?

Well, I know.Don't worry, mom.

After Maureen said goodbye to her parents and daughter, she hugged her, she pulled the box and walked to the security check.The old couple pulled their granddaughter until Maureen's figure disappeared from sight.

After a few hours of traveling by plane and then changing cars, Maureen checked into the hotel she booked.

After taking a simple shower, she lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling for a while.

Before coming, she only thought about a famous tourist city like Siji City, but she had never been there, so she chose this place.

But after she came, she didn't think about what to do.

When I was at work, I kept wanting to have a holiday, but when I really had a holiday, I didn’t know what to do during the holiday.

Looking at the sun outside, Maureen decided to have a good sleep first.

The consequence of busy work is lack of sleep, which is just taking this opportunity to make up for your sleep.

After waking up, I went downstairs to eat something casually, watched the show after I came back, and then continued to sleep. I spent this on the first day.

Anyway, it’s my holiday, so I can do whatever I feel comfortable.

The day passed quickly.

The next morning, Maureen fell asleep.

After sleeping together for more than ten hours, she felt that her spirits were obviously much better.

Even the sun that made her feel hot yesterday has become a symbol of a good mood at this time.

She put on sunscreen, put on a dress on her outside, took some belongings and water, put on sunglasses, and went to the beach.

Now, it is the off-season for the Four Seasons City, and there are not many people.

Maureen casually found a beach chair under the parasol and sat down, turned off her phone, and read the book.

The weather in Siji City is very hot during the summer vacation, but the sea breeze under the parasol is not too hot.

The beach without many tourists was no longer noisy, and the sound of waves and seabirds made Maureen feel relaxed and happy.

Maureen has always liked to go out for travel.

Mo’s father and mother are both university professors and their family is in good condition.

When Maureen was in college, she would find a place to play during holidays.

Later, they got married and had children. When my daughter was young, the three of them also went to many places to play.

However, since Duoduo entered the third year of junior high school, this activity has been temporarily cancelled.

She had originally thought about where the three of them would go to have fun after their daughter's college entrance examination was over.

Now, it is unknown whether they will go out for a trip, but at least they will definitely not be the previous family of three.

Thinking of this, she felt that her emotions had begun to change again, so she quickly forced herself not to think about anything related to Fang Tianlei.

Maureen just stayed on the beach while basking in the sun.

It was not until the sun was about to set and the sunset was shining on the sea that she felt that her belly was already empty at this time and it was time to have supper.

Returning to the room and putting down his belongings, Maureen went downstairs to prepare for dinner.There are not many people in the restaurant.

She ordered some food casually and ordered another bottle of beer, and ate and drank.

Originally, she wanted to let alcohol suppress her boredom.

But unexpectedly, after drinking for a while, my mood did not improve.

So, after drinking one bottle, she asked for another bottle.

I drank a total of five bottles.

Maureen, who felt that she was already a little drunk, shook her head and stopped drinking.

After buying the order, I prepared to go back to my room.

Who knew that when she was about to reach the door, there was a sound of the door opening coming from beside her, which scared her.

Maureen's feet softened and her body fell to the side.

This time, she suddenly became much more awake, but she couldn't do it if she wanted to maintain a balance.

careful!

Just when she was about to fall, her arms supported her body that was about to fall to the ground and helped her stand back.

Maureen looked back and saw that she was a young boy. She seemed to be less than thirty years old.

The boy grew tall, had very white skin, and was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.He is a little handsome, but he is far from the level of school grass.However, his agile figure and clean temperament are very attractive.

Thank you.

Sister, are you drunk?

Maureen looked at the boy in front of her and always felt that she had seen him somewhere.But after searching all my memories, I still found nothing.She nodded when she heard the boy ask her.

……Um……

Are you alone?

Um……

If you are a person, you should pay more attention, otherwise no one will help you if you hurt them.

The boy picked up the room card from the ground and handed it over to Maureen.Maureen took it and opened the door to get into the house.However, just as she was about to close the door, the boy spoke again:

Sister, I...I am also alone, and I live in this room opposite you.If possible, uh... these days... um... can you play with a companion?

Maureen looked back at the somewhat cramped boy and suddenly felt that he was a little cute.

Thinking that I am now a divorced single, even if something really happened, I would not suffer any loss with an old woman in her forties and such a young man.

Although reason told her that she could not agree to such requests from strangers casually.

But under the influence of his first look of favor, Maureen agreed.

OK, then add WeChat first.

Ah?Ah OK!good!

The boy quickly took out his cell phone and added his WeChat friends with Maureen. The boy seemed very excited and his mouth kept up.

Sister, I want to go downstairs. If you need me to bring you something, please tell me.

Haha, OK.By the way, brother, what do I call you?

Ah…I…my name is Gu Zhiyun.

Gu Zhiyun...well...it sounds nice.

Uh...thank you...

Maureen looked at her boy who seemed to be afraid to turn to her, and couldn't help but smile:

Brother, don’t you ask your sister what her name is?

Ah?I forgot...uh...I forgot.

You can call me Sister Lin, remember.

Yes, remember.Then... sister... Ah no, Sister Lin, I'll go down first.

Well, bye bye.

The boy walked to the corner and waved his hand to Maureen, then disappeared from Maureen's sight.

Maureen saw it very clearly that this boy named Gu Zhiyun obviously had a good impression of him.

Although she didn't know where she would attract a young man.

This kind of expression that looks a little immature and even a little stupid makes her recall the green years of her student days, which is something that people who have entered society and have been educated by life cannot pretend.

So, with the alcohol that had not yet dissipated, she made a decision silently in her heart.

If something really happens, let it happen.

I have been a good girl since I was young. Now, no one here knows me, so I can just indulge.

Soon, Gu Zhiyun's news came.

Looking at the text on the screen, Maureen could almost imagine his happy, expectant and cautious expression.

Thinking about it, when Fang Tianlei was in love with him, it seemed that he had never acted like this.

So Maureen happily chatted with Gu Zhiyun on WeChat.

After the two of them casually talked about some travel guides about Siji City, Maureen began to tentatively ask him about some of his situation.

Zhiyun, how old are you this year?

It's twenty-eight.

Oh, it doesn’t look like Ah, I feel like you are only about twenty-five years old, probably just graduated from graduate school.

Thank you sister for your praise.

Are you a student?

No, I used to be a programmer at Zhongzuo Company.

Oh, that's amazing.I heard that Zhongzuo Company has at least 200,000 yuan a year.

Well, with these, it’s very tiring, so last year I felt that I had saved a lot of money over the years of work and added some stock gains, so I quit.

Then you are not working now?

I am writing novels now, so I am a freelancer.Fortunately, I was lucky. The first book was more popular and it was not much less than the original one.

After talking about this, Maureen couldn't help but think that the boy was in a very good condition, tall and fair-looking manner, and his figure was also good. If his income was really as he said, he could really be considered a player who was able to act recklessly in the blind date market.

If I were a 20-year-old young girl now, I might have pursued him.

It depends on your conditions. You have both money and time. You should not lack a girlfriend. How could you come here alone?

Sister, to be honest, the last time I fell in love was nearly ten years ago.

real?So long?It's not a lie.

Really, it's been so long.When I was in high school and when I was in college, some girls liked me because I was good at studying, and I also had two girlfriends.But later on, I didn’t have much free time.

When I was in college, my academic tasks were heavy, but after I went to work, I had heavy work tasks.I am already very tired every day just completing what I have to do and I don’t have time to fall in love.

Maureen thought to herself, no wonder this boy is a little bit inexperienced, it turns out that he is busy all the time.

But this is just right. I drank too much today and was a little unrestrained and could say something I didn’t usually say.

In this way, the two of them can continue to chat.

So now you have time, so come out to try your luck?

After posting this sentence, Gu Zhiyun did not reply immediately.Maureen waited for more than a minute, thinking about what was going on, and the reply message arrived.

My greatest luck is to meet Sister Lin.

Maureen was a little surprised and a little happy.

The reason was that although she felt that Gu Zhiyun had a good impression of her, she didn't expect that he would dare to say it out so quickly.

I am naturally happy because I am in my forties and can still attract boys who are more than ten years younger than me.

Since she learned that Fang Tianlei had cheated, she has become a little suspicious of her charm.

Now, Gu Zhiyun's words have made her feel confident again.

Thinking of this, Maureen decided to continue chatting like this.

My mouth is so sweet. Do you know how old my sister is this year?

I guess you should be five or six years older than me.

Haha, you are really good at speaking.I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm two or five or six years older than you.

Ah?Really?I don't believe it.

Really, I'm already forty-one this year.

I really can't tell, sister, you are so young.

No matter how young she is, she is actually an old woman.How about it, do you still want to flirt with me now?

I want to not only flirt, but also chase.

Maureen thought about it for a while and typed a line of words into the input bar.

It depends on your performance over the past few days.

At this moment, she was ready to happen to Gu Zhiyun.

Anyway, I met this little boy by chance at a place so far from my home. No matter what happens, I just treated it as a romantic encounter.

After leaving here, there is no need to contact you again. It is also good to leave a good memory.

The two of them chatted for a while, and Gu Zhiyun took the initiative to say that they would not disturb Maureen's rest.The first WeChat exchange between the two also came to an end.
