In the third year of my marriage and strange bedfellows with Zhou Xu. The white moonlight who kicked him
for a bright future came back and even sent me their
record of opening a room.
I was suddenly relieved for the first time. After
sleeping for three years, he is no longer the top of my heart that I can’t reach
.
What’s the saying? The man in hand is less valuable than grass (not to say that grass is not
good).

“What are you doing?”
The bar’s moving head lamp was dark, and I was depressed to receive the WeChat of Kaolin Flower.
My heart trembled, and I replied, “I’m thinking of you.” There was an eerie silence from the other end, and just when I thought I was going to be embarrassed again, he launched
another attack:
“At home?” After
being married for so long, it was really my first time to check my position. I didn’t dare to neglect it. I immediately replied,
“Well, honey, I’ve ironed your shirt for you.”
Comes with a cat meme asking for praise.
“I see you. Nice wiggle. Come and have a drink.”
「……」
I suddenly raised my head and looked for a circle. Under the flickering light, the flower of Kaolin
with a loose expression raised its glass to me.
This Kaolin Flower is my husband Zhou Xu.
He took the three standards of the campus literary man: good appearance, good study and poor family.
And I, like all the vicious female two of the campus text-stupid people, more money, draw the key
points, more money.
So it is not difficult to understand why Zhou Xu, after being dumped by his first girlfriend, would be
willing to compromise and be picked up by me, a licking dog.
I looked at myself with two big black eyes in the mirror, looked down at the provocative message from my husband’s
first love in my mobile phone, and sighed. “After all, what you get is not your own. Do you feel comfortable sleeping at night?”.
I really want to answer truthfully, peace of mind, Zhou Xu sleeps very well at night and never snores.
But I still feel suffocated.
At this moment, Zhou Xu is lying in bed, but I have to endure the panic that I may lose
him at any time. I have forgotten how many years I have endured.
“Zhou Xu, I want to divorce you.” I murmured, and I was startled.
Zhou Xu put his arm on his eyelashes and gave a slow hum, until he felt something was wrong again.
Then he sat up suddenly, and his clear eyes sank in an instant: “What did you
say, Hsu An-yi?” In a
flash of lightning, I smiled again.
I’m asking you, eat or eat eggs? What kind of eggs? Fried or boiled? The dog has
been licking for a long time, and his tongue is stiff. In the
middle of the night, his cell phone lit up. The
man beside him got up quietly, picked up his cell phone and went to the toilet.
I opened my eyes and sighed.
In fact, you don’t have to do this. In the past few years of living with Zhou Xu, I have found that he doesn’t
love me. He can give me everything I want, including respect, tolerance, decent respect
, and even do not mind raising the next generation with me.
Except for warm and sincere love.
I picked up my cell phone, and sure enough, I received another text message from the woman.
“Your husband is talking to me.”
So what? Shall I send a pennant to thank you?
Endure and endure, the nose is sour, the eyes are sour.
Finally, he put out his mobile phone and got into the quilt.
I do not know how long, half asleep and half awake, I feel a soft touch on my forehead
, a shallow knock.
Divorce is probably impossible to divorce, but it can not be pushed to please the mother-in-law. When
I came to the nursing home with a thermos bucket, I was turned away.
The nurse said the old lady was on her lunch break and asked me to wait.
I looked up at my watch. It was nine o’clock in the morning.
Good. Even this old lady bullied me.
I rubbed my stiff legs and felt that it was better to stand outside and enjoy the breeze than to sit inside and listen to the old
lady talking about her ex-girlfriend. Anyway, in the eyes of the old lady, I can’t compare with the woman
she watched grow up.
“Teacher Hsu.”
Someone called out to me, and I looked around. At this time, the nursing home was supposed to be quiet
.
And the boy seemed to fall from the sky, bringing down the leaves one after another.
He was sitting in a tree.
“Don’t you remember me?” He looked at me with my mouth wide open and
said, “Your student, Hsu Ming-tse.” I have no impression of
Xu Mingze, but I
remember his comely and harmless face.
When I was teaching the graduating class, this guy’s luck in love really gave me a lot of headaches
.
But his grades are good, and his father is the vice principal of the school.
In a word, he is a student whose reputation is not very good and who is difficult to discipline. Fortunately, he has not had any major events during my term
of office. Although he is occasionally naughty, he is really a good boy.
“What a coincidence.” “Why are you here?” I asked in surprise. He pointed upstairs and deliberately lowered his voice. “My mother is convalescing here.” Only then did
I notice that someone had checked in next door to Zhou Mu, who had been empty all the time. When
I didn’t know how to comfort him, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a
deep scratch on his white neck, and the blood had stained his snow-white collar. Just as
I was about to call someone, Xu Ming stepped forward. He was so tall that I could only look up at
him.
“Shh.” He even laughed, “Teacher Hsu, I don’t want my mother to see it.”
I dragged him to the nearest hospital.
The little boy was still a little boy, and he stressed all the way that he was all right, unaware of the surprised eyes cast by passers-by
.
“All right, I beg you, don’t say anything. Come on, get in there.”
Hsu Ming-tse’s eyebrows slightly twisted: “I’ve already graduated from university. Teacher, can you not use this coaxing
tone?”
I laughed and nodded honestly, “I’m sorry.” He
bent his lips, but stopped, only a pair of eyes with a sparkling smile, very simple
. I
don’t know why, but I didn’t dare to look, so I lowered my eyes. Sitting on the stool outside, waiting for him to come out, staring at the shoes coming and going
, I soon saw a pair of familiar shoes.
Zhou Xu has never been interested in dressing up, so maybe he doesn’t care how the shirt
appears clean on his bedside every day, and how
the custom-made shoes can fit so comfortably.
It’s like he never cared how much I cared about the woman next to him.
Zhou Xu obviously did not expect me to appear here, and his footsteps stagnated for a moment.
But Zhou Xu is Zhou Xu, even if the old love and new love meet in a narrow way, they will soon regain their
calmness.
Perhaps, who is the new love is not certain.
Anyi, what are you doing here? Are you sick? Lin Yiwen’s face was pale, and her
palm was still bleeding near her wrist, but she came to care about me first.
I stared at Zhou Xu’s hand on her arm and said calmly, “You told
me that the company has an early meeting today.”
Chou Hsu was noncommittal: “Something happened, so I sent Yiwen to the hospital first.”
“Anyi, we..”
“Listen to Zhou Xu.” I interrupted, unrelenting, “I want you to come with me
to the nursing home now. Don’t let me take care of your mother alone. Now, right now.”
Lin Yi-wen’s eyes quickly turned red, and she even leaned more and more precariously toward Chou Hsu’s arms, but her mouth was understanding: “Chou Hsu, you go. I’ve already arrived at the hospital. It will be all right.”
Zhou Xu frowned, as if to endure my vexatious behavior: “Anyi, I’m just seeing Yiwen off..”
“Yiwen, Yiwen!” I completely lost control and shouted hysterically, “Doesn’t she have a last name?”? Is she an orphan? You’re the only one who can bring her to the hospital? Who do you think you are? The hero who saved her?
Miss, this is a hospital! Don’t make any noise! Several nurses hurriedly pulled me away, passers-by pointed at me, and even many people took out their mobile phone videos.
Zhou Xu just looked at me, cold and heartless, and immediately took Lin Yiwen to see a doctor.
I wiped my tears with the back of my hand. Xu Ming ran out at an unknown time. His wound had not been bandaged yet.
He took me from the nurse’s hand carefully, like a fragile glass ball.
The nurse shook her head disapprovingly and said, “Miss, even if you have something to do, you can wait until you get out of the hospital. Don’t make a scene in the hospital.”
Xu Ming patted my back with a slightly stiff hand, apologized for me in a gentle voice, and used both hard and soft means to make those people delete the video. He was good-looking and sweet, and as soon as he came out, he immediately coaxed the nurses from ear
to ear.
I stared low at my toes, as if. People who are good-looking and smart are always
attractive.
Just like Zhou Xu and Lin Yiwen.

“I’m sorry.” I held the steaming teacup and sighed, “I shouldn’t have been
so..” Out of control. I’ve disgraced you.
Hsu Ming sat beside me, trying to put on a relaxed tone: “Teacher Hsu, this
is tit for tat. I don’t know how many times I’ve let you down before.”
I shook my head. “It’s different …” Actually, I don’t know why.
“What?”
“I don’t know why.” My voice trembled as I gathered my courage. “As soon as I touched
that woman, I couldn’t help myself.”
Her name is Lin Yiwen. She is my college classmate and Zhou Xu’s childhood sweetheart. We were friends before we
met Zhou Xu.
She is lively and cheerful, and she is worthy of the school beauty.
But I’m the only one who knows what Lin Yiwen is. When I was young, my parents died early, thanks to the care of other elders in the family, Grandpa also entrusted
a trust agency to leave me considerable assets early.
That’s why I’m doing well, at least in material terms.
If you don’t think about it, how can orphan without parents be so rich? It’s
wrapped.
“She looks just so-so, too. I guess she’s good at that?”
“Yeah, who caught her in a bald old man’s Cayenne last time?”
Vague but precise attacks are overwhelming.
I didn’t expect that such an outrageous rumor would spread so widely, which seriously affected my life
. Every day when I walked on the road, I would encounter inexplicable eyes and pointing.
Even the counselor, who had never been in charge, warned me openly and secretly to behave.
They all guard against me, I am the source of infectious diseases, I am the aid
girl who recognizes money but not people, I am the poor and annoying person who has gone astray.
I can’t argue, and I don’t know where to start.
I don’t have a parent to back me up, and I’m trying to explain, but it’s more like a dying argument.
I became an island completely, and joy was separated from me by a transparent
wall that could not be seen or touched. I
beat as hard as I could, only to be looked down upon and despised. Fortunately, I have a friend, her name is Lin Yiwen. She knew I wasn’t the bald man’s mistress
, and she was the only one who knew that my family actually had some money.
She’s good at comforting people. She tucks me in when I’m asleep.
In fact, I was
very grateful and liked her until another friend of mine from another school found out who started the rumor. I even began to call her sister.
Unfortunately, the person who spread the rumor was none other than Lin Yiwen. Instead of getting
her the punishment she deserved, more people came to blame me.
“Who is to blame if you don’t make it clear?”
“I don’t think it’s all Yiwen’s fault. It must be Hsu An-yi who’s always showing off. If
I were you, I’d wonder where all that money came from.” “
I said,” Why is she so proud? It turns out she’s a young lady. Only Yiwen doesn’t dislike
her and is willing to be friends with her. ” Only then did
I know that it was either right or right. With a sullen look on his face
, Hsu Ming comforted me in a soft voice: “It’s all over.” Don’t
think any more.
I sniffed, and my laughter was worse than tears. “Yes, it’s all over, but after all
these years, I still feel terrible when I see her.”
Hsu Ming lowered his eyes cautiously. “Well, does the teacher know about these things
?” “Why don’t you know?” I lost my mind for a moment and couldn’t help but taunt, “They hadn’t broken up at that
time.”
I like Zhou Xu because of Lin Yiwen.
Speaking of which, this woman is really my nemesis.
It was the day of the election of the Minister of Arts and Culture, when I had just won the first prize in the city ballet and violin
competitions.
I admit that I have an intentional element. I just don’t want her to be comfortable. I
have to fight for everything she does. Even if I can’t fight for it, I will feel sick of her. Although
Lin Yiwen is smart, but in the end the family is ordinary, can not afford to hire a good teacher, can take out
the award is very few.
It’s just that school competition doesn’t look at strength, it looks at connections.
Sure enough, although her face was as green as a prairie, she still sang loudly all the way and was about
to win the minister.
At this time, the young man in black, who had been watching the vote in the back row, suddenly stood up, half
bent down and knocked on the table of the ticket collector, and asked for an empty ticket.
He glanced at me in silence and wrote his name slowly.
My face, which had been red because no one voted, slowly returned to normal. I know he is Lin Yiwen’s boyfriend, I also know he is the vice president of the student union,
he voted for me, I will win.
Sure enough, I turned the tables in the last period of time and narrowly beat Lin Yiwen.
Lin Yiwen ran out crying.
After a long time, I finally got my wish to be with Zhou Xu, and I asked him why
he chose me.
He made light of it because it was fair.
What a beautiful word, but why can’t he be fair
to me now? On the way
back to the nursing home, we were silent all the way, and when we were finally about to leave, Hsu Ming-tse
suddenly said, “Teacher Hsu, I think you look better than that woman.”
I froze for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: “If you want to make me happy, just say so. Kids
can’t lie.”
He looked at me quietly, without any expression, which made my heart beat a little faster.
A handsome guy is a handsome guy, and looking at a handsome guy is really a test.
“I’m serious.” He handed me the thermos bucket he was carrying for me, rolled up his sleeves
, and made a gesture of cutting down with a knife. “You see, her wound is like this
, deepening downward at three o’clock. Normally, it’s impossible to get this kind of wound.”
“Didn’t you just take a look?” I exclaimed. Hsu Ming puts down his sleeve and sighs: “Aren’t you focusing on the wrong thing?”
So the point is.. Did she do it on purpose?
As soon as she entered the old lady’s room, she was beaten by Yin and Yang.
“Can’t pretend anymore?” The old lady snorted, “Why do you say you bring
me soup every day? What about today’s soup?”
Feeling a bit like laughing, I retorted, “You don’t drink every time anyway, so why waste
anything?”
She opened her eyes and glanced at me, becoming more and more impatient. “Why don’t you look for reasons
from yourself, like Yiwen..”
I said, “Oh,” and I didn’t want to say to her, “I’ll go first.” After
thinking and thinking, I leaned on the door and glanced back at her. “If your son
had married Lin Yi-wen, what chance do you think you would have been able to live in such a good nursing
home?” At the door,
I met Hsu Ming-tse, who had been waiting for me for a long time. He held up a thermos bucket and returned it to me. He smiled
and said, “The teacher is much better at his work.” For a moment,
I was attracted by his clean and pure smile, and I forgot what “diligence” really
meant. I Hei Hei two, resist the impulse to stand on tiptoe and rub his head, after exchanging numbers, patted
his chest and promised to send him soup tomorrow.
Hsu Ming, on the other hand, shook his head and asked shyly, “I’d rather not. It takes a lot of time
to make soup. I might as well sleep a little longer. I heard..” You girls love to sleep late, don’t
you?
I was slightly stunned, heart way, really sweet, no wonder there are so many peach blossoms.
The next day I turned off the alarm clock and slept until ten o’clock.
It was Zhou Xu who sat on my bed and woke me up.
He leaned over to talk to me, and I pulled my arm away and rolled over coldly.
“Still angry?” He hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, “It was an emergency. I didn’t
have time to ask you why you were in the hospital.”
I looked him in the eye and said, “I’m pregnant.”
Really? When? He jerked to his feet, looked at
me with surprise and concern, and even reached over to my forehead.
I dodged and just kept staring at him, watching all his emotions recede
until he became as expressionless as I was.
I tugged at the corners of my lips: “Fake.”
“I lied to you, so let’s get a divorce.” I added. “Anyi, you can’t play with your marriage.” After a long time, he only said such a
perfunctory sentence.
“Aren’t you the one who trifled with marriage?” I laughed. “When she left, you got married with just
one person. When she came back, you went up again without hesitation
. Why are you so cheap?”? Isn’t it a divorce? I’d like to see if Lin Yi-wen will still want you if you
leave the house clean.
“Hsu On Yi!” Zhou Xu seemed to have been poked in the soft rib, and his eyes were violently red. “What
do you mean?”? You’re saying I’m nothing without your Hsu family, aren’t you?
I bit my lip and stopped talking.
Of course not. Of course,
the Xu family has a little money, but Zhou Xu has been expanding his business territory over the years, and
today’s Xu family has long been completely different from the Xu family in the past.
I also know that it is impossible for him to leave the house
clean after he has finally reached his present position.
But I really want to know if the woman who dumped Zhou Xu
for a place to study abroad would dump him a second time because of money.
I have a cold war with Zhou Xu.
He seemed to think that I was just taking things too hard for the moment and was determined to leave me like this for the time being. Also, when licking a dog for a while, it is difficult to turn over again.
Who would have thought that I would
let go so easily because that woman came back after so many years of silent love for a man who was not easy to get.
It was so easy, who let that woman be Lin Yiwen, who let him tell me that he would try to forget when he got married
.
If this is his effort, then I don’t think I need to wronged myself any more. The itch of
three years, a joke, is it only his week that itches? After
another late-night text message of “Don’t wait for overtime”, I didn’t prepare any more delicious meals
, nor did I sleep on the sofa and wait foolishly. I looked at myself in the mirror as I
changed into a tight dress with suspenders that I would only wear before marriage.
I’m not beautiful, but fortunately I’m not ugly either. In the past few years when I was a housewife, I still kept exercising.
I have a good figure, plus the bonus of a rich woman. I don’t believe it. I don’t believe that only Zhou Xu can
sway from side to side and be happy on both sides.
Deliberately avoiding the bar where I got drunk last time, I picked a slightly smaller bar and
drank the wine slowly in my hand.
The first man appeared earlier than I thought, and I looked at him twice sideways. His
skin is not as white as his, his nose is not as straight as his, and even his temperament is a million miles away from his
.
Adhering to the belief of not losing, I sat for three hours and none of them could see it. I sighed deeply, and sure enough, money alone was useless, and I had to be strong. A
sense of powerlessness and frustration swept through my heart, and I had forgotten that there was a man sitting opposite me who I had “fished
.”. Seeing that I had been silent for a long time,
the man thought I had drunk too much and made a rash gesture to reach out
and embrace my bare shoulder.
I dodged without a trace: “I should go home, or my husband will come to me
.”
“You have a husband?” The man stared at me in astonishment.
I was too lazy to talk to him and was about to leave with my bag, but the man grabbed my bag belt,
apparently drunk and crazy. Just as
I was about to scold my mother, Yu Guangzhong saw Bugatti speeding past outside the shop.
It was Zhou Xu’s car, and I didn’t care to pester him, so I threw the man away and ran out.
Still too late, I watched it disappear into the night, while
my phone vibrated twice.
“Zhou Xu, you’re going to open a room with me.”
My hands trembled so much that I couldn’t hold my cell phone tightly, and my teeth slowly made a “gurgling” sound. At that moment
, I was so cold, and the coldness that spread from behind to the apex of my heart made me lose all my remaining reason.
Just destroy it. Just finish it all together. I turned back and caught a glimpse of my eyes on the mirror wall of the bar, with a deep and dark
flame.
Standing in front of the drunkard, I gulped down his whiskey and stared at him defiantly
.
He slowly looked up at me, his eyebrows and eyes stretched, and his eyes behind the frame were clear and bright, but he
was not the man just now.
Awful.
Seeing that he frowned slightly and seemed dissatisfied, I stepped back awkwardly.
“Teacher Hsu.” The familiar voice lingered in my ears, and I turned around a little dizzy.
The man who could hold my arm was Xu Mingze, whom I hadn’t seen for a few days.
He said a brief hello to the man and helped me out.
“Is this your brother?” I was already getting a little drunk. “I didn’t know President Hsu had
such a big son.”
“Mmm.” Xu Ming did not seem to want to mention much, and frowned tightly.
“What’s the matter?” My brain got dull. “You..” Why are you here?
“Me?” “This is my bar,” he said lightly. “I should have asked the teacher why
I was here.”
He glanced at me, immediately took off his coat and put it over my shoulder. After a moment’s deliberation, he said,
“Still wearing this..” Such cool clothes. “I don’t know what to do.” I murmured, “I really don’t know what to
do. I just had a fever in my head.” After
seeing that message, the anger and revenge had already disappeared, and at this moment,
I just felt very sad.
I was so stupid just now that I wanted to retaliate against Zhou Xu with my own body. How could I be so
stupid? When the cold wind blew in the
early morning, I was afraid for a while.
It’s a good thing I didn’t.
“Teacher.” He looked at me, his delicate white skin looking
even more flawless under the orange street lamp. “You don’t have to hurt yourself if you want to get back at him.”
I stared at him.
Hsu Ming, on the other hand, looked into the distance without looking at me. After all, isn’t it the teachers themselves
who are suffering and they are not the same person? Teachers have a bottom line, but they don’t.
That’s.. Sounds familiar.
He knew what I was trying to do. He knew. The shame of
being seen through made me blush.
“I believe that teachers can come out on their own and don’t need to rely on anyone else, right?”
He asked earnestly. It’s like coaxing a cat to stand on the roof. Come here, yes. Come a little more..
What a good boy.
“Thank you.” I said, “Really, thank you.” My nose is sour. For
many years, I can’t remember, since my mother left, no one has been so patient or even spoiled to comfort me when I make
mistakes. “How could you be so stupid?”
Zhou Xu would only say coldly.
“Let me take you home.” Xu Ming finally turned his head, his slightly long broken hair covering
his eyebrows, and his eyes were round and slightly raised, with a kind of pretty innocence.
“Please give me the honor of seeing my beautiful sister home.”
I finally couldn’t help smiling. It was almost dawn when
I woke up.
Xu Ming supported his head with his hands and closed his eyes.
We’re still in the car. As soon as
I stretched, he woke up. His eyes were flushed and his voice was low
. “My sister has finally woken up.”
My heart gave a sudden jump and I said “hmm” in embarrassment. I always sleep very hard, especially last night I drank so much wine that I thought he should
send me home, but I couldn’t wake me up, so I had to make do with it all
night. When
I got home, Zhou Xu had already come back.
He watched in silence as I walked past him in a man’s coat.
“Where have you been?”
As I shook off my heels, I glanced at him in the mirror. “Strange, does this have anything to do with you
?”
Zhou Xu’s face quickly sank: “If you don’t go home in the middle of the night, the smell of alcohol is overpowering.
You..”
“Your little lover has already sent me a text message.” I wiped off my lipstick with my bare hands,
turned around and looked at him frivolously. “It’s just that you’re much faster than him, so
you can come back earlier than me. You’re pretty awesome.”
Zhou Xu’s eyes suddenly rose like a flame of anger. He grabbed my wrist, dragged me
into the car, and rushed out without saying a word.
No matter how hard I struggled, he closed his lips tightly and his side face was full of hostility
.
I simply closed my eyes and rested.
It turned out to be a nursing home. Lin Yiwen squatted on the ground to wash Zhou Mu’s feet, happy, Zhou Mu’s face is a sincere smile I have never
seen before.
“Mom was sick last night. Why didn’t you answer the phone when the nurse called you? Fortunately, Yiwen came to see
her.” Zhou Xu said in a deep voice, “I did work overtime yesterday, and she wasn’t a lover
, and she didn’t spend the night with me. Should you say thank you to her?”
“Forget it.” “I’m not lucky to have such a
daughter-in-law,” said Mother Chou bitterly, looking at my dress.
All kinds of feelings welled up in my heart, and I almost swallowed the blood and said with a smile, “Old lady, do you like Lin Yi-wen so
much?”
Lin Yiwen lowered her eyebrows and kept silent.
I suddenly understand that even if I say what is the use of text messages, she can say that this number is not
her, I am framing her.
What a smart guy.
So.
“Do you know why Lin I-wen dumped Zhou Xu?”
“Hsu On Yi!”
“Anyi..”
I snapped, “Shut up, everybody!”
I looked at Chou’s mother and pointed at Lin Yi-wen, saying, “You’re a good daughter, and for the sake of a place to study abroad at public expense, you don’t hesitate to hook up..”
Zhou Xu covered my mouth. I didn’t sleep well all night. At this time, I was so haggard that I almost fainted in the next moment. It was not
until this moment that I finally woke up.
Lin Yiwen’s weight in his heart is how heavy, he would rather his mother has been misunderstood that I am a mistress, would rather be ridiculed by the green, will not tolerate others to say that Lin Yiwen is a little bit bad. The day
she left, I found him drunk in the bar, he said, I don’t hate her, I just miss the simple and naive one.
She left for a year, and he finally decided to cheer up. I stayed up late with him to revise his graduation thesis over and over again. I was so tired that my eyes were swollen like light bulbs. Finally, I said, “Anyi, let’s try it.”. Two and a half years after
she left, his mother was hospitalized for an acute illness. I went around asking people to introduce doctors. I was so busy that my feet did not touch the ground. The day I found out that it was a benign disease, we were all relieved.
He said with red eyes, “Anyi, I seem to like you a little.”. Not long after the
engagement, I dug out their old photos in his book. He said, “I’m sorry, Anyi. I think she will occupy a corner in my heart all my life, but I will work hard. Do you want to believe me?”? When the lawyer came to talk about divorce, he said, “Anyi, you really think too much. We are really
just ordinary friends.”.
When I first saw Lin Yiwen, I certainly did not know that this person would become a shadow over my
life in all directions.
Chou Hsu’s eyes were filled with disappointment: “Anyi, it’s not that you don’t know. My mother is not in good health, and
she watched Lin Yi-wen grow up. She really can’t hear what you’re saying, and you promised
me you wouldn’t tell her, didn’t you?”
“Yes.” I sneered, “I’m going back on my word, can’t I?”
Out of the lawyer’s office, I wandered aimlessly on the road, with Zhou Xu’s voice still
in my ears:
“I don’t mean to blame you, Anyi. Now that we’re married, I must want to be with
you.”
I’m sorry.. I think we should calm down with each other. I will read the divorce agreement carefully
. If it comes to divorce. I hope there will never be such a
step. What could he do
if he did?
Passing a cafe, I caught a glimpse of a familiar side face through a layer of glass.
It is a very handsome and delicate face, with a magic that people will never forget.
It’s him, Xu Mingze’s brother. Thinking of the embarrassment of that day, I quickly turned my head and walked forward with my head down, but it was still too late
.
“Anyi?” A not unfamiliar voice abruptly stopped my steps, and I stiffly
turned around.
Lin Yiwen and Xu Mingze’s brother stand shoulder to shoulder, really handsome men and beautiful women, very pleasing to the eye.
I wanted to turn around and leave, but I didn’t. I was rude enough at the bar last time.
“I’d like to introduce you to my boss, Hsu Ming-yi.” Then she turned to look at
him again, with the kind of bright smile I know very well. “This is my college classmate, and her
name is..”
“No..”
“How do you do?” Xu Mingyi opened his mouth to interrupt my words and reached out to
me slowly. Don
‘t you remember me? I held out my hand suspiciously.
“I’m Hsu Ming-yi.” He gave my hand a slow squeeze.
The gesture was so vague and strange, but so fleeting that it made one wonder whether it really
existed. He smiled shallowly and quickly withdrew his hand.
I didn’t want to think about it, so I turned around and left.
9
I promised Zhou Xu that I would give each other a month’s cooling-off period. In fact, I have secretly begun to entrust Xu Mingze’s people to do property liquidation and bank flow investigation with Zhou Xu.
I am not Zhou Xu, my ability is limited, really divorced may not be as good as now, so I want to get back the part that belongs to me, I have prepared for the worst.
If there is a transfer of property or uneven distribution, I will show all the evidence that they are still entangled, go to court, and then use all means to get Zhou Xu out of the house.
Xu Ming is right, once the interests are involved, even the naive love brain has to force itself to sober up.
I drove to the sanatorium, and it was time to meet Xu Mingze.
He was dressed in a dark gray sportswear, as if he had just played ball, and his temples were still wet.
He nodded slightly to me and introduced me to an old man beside me, who was the director of the nursing home.
“Sister, you are so stupid.” After the dean left, he shook his head quietly.
I know he’s talking about the fact that I’ve been supporting my mother in an expensive nursing home since before we got married, but all I can think about now is, when did he start calling me sister?
I never knew Xu Mingze played golf so well. In my impression, he was still the little boy who drew faces on his exercise book and pretended to be ill to skip physical education class. “Hsu Ming-ze.” At halftime, I asked him, “Why are you helping me?”
His eyes were half closed, as if he had been thinking for a long time before he said slowly, “Do you know
how to put an end to a person’s secret love?”
“It should be knowing that the other person has someone he likes.” I said calmly, unfortunately, when I
first met Zhou Xu, he had liked Lin Yiwen for many years.
“No.” He shook his head slowly, his eyes shining, and said in a tired and cool voice,
“It’s her wedding candies. I have to praise them. They are really sweet.”
This eye light is sincere and straightforward, I see some heartbeat disorder, hurriedly turned his head.
I didn’t know you were so.. A painful past. I’ve been holding it for a long time, but
I can only hold out such a nonsense.
Xu Ming rubbed the club and gave a low laugh, noncommittal. The
January period is coming soon. The
results of the survey showed that there was no problem with the company’s financial flow. I was relieved and the next step
was to concentrate on the divorce.
Zhou Xu obviously didn’t realize my determination until now, and he personally
cooked Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs for me on the day I came home.
I fiddled with the spareribs in the bowl with my chopsticks, and as soon as I looked up, I looked at him
. There
seem to be thousands of words, but they are always obscure and calm. It’s the Zhou Xu I know, the Zhou Xu that is as cold as ice, and the Zhou Xu that can’t be covered with heat.
I put down my chopsticks. Do you have any contact with her? Or did she ask you to help her
find a house, find a job, or take her to the hospital?
“Anyi, you don’t have to look
at me like that. Even if I do help, I’m just helping. She’s not in my heart
..”
“So there isn’t?”
Looking at his eyes, which seemed to acquiesce, I laughed and said, “That’s right. If she catches
a better one, she won’t come to you again.” Between
us.. Can we not talk about her?
I stood up and put the divorce papers in my bag on the table. Before I left, I suddenly remembered
something:
“Chou Hsu, I never liked Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs. The person who liked it was Lin Yi-wen
.”
Lin Yiwen is really a haunting woman.
The clerk looked at us with great embarrassment. There were no outsiders present
at the moment, and Lin Yi-wen didn’t bother to pretend to be in harmony. “I don’t think Miss Hsu is in the mood to buy such a red bag right now,” she said
with a gun and a stick. The three words “Miss Hsu” are accentuated.
She knows I’m getting a divorce.
Strangely, my heart doesn’t ache at all.
I looked at Lin Yiwen, who had taken on a new look all over her body. In fact, I was thinking that Xu Mingze’s
brother really didn’t look like a man who would be willing to swipe a card for a woman like Lin.
Lin Yiwen saw that I did not respond, and directly asked the clerk to wrap it up and walk away.
My doubts Xu Ming did not answer me, but said with a smile that the teacher was waiting to see the good play
.
He didn’t call me teacher for a long time, and I began to feel a little uncomfortable.
Not long after, Xu Mingyi’s company had a big event. Financial reconciliation at the end of
the month, liquidity disappeared six figures, Xu Mingyi leisurely told
the staff to call the police.
Then, Lin Yiwen, who had been in the company for a whole month, was arrested.
It is said that when she was caught, she cried so hard that her makeup was blurred. She shouted Xu Mingyi’s name,
cursed him as a scum man, and framed her to sleep in vain. At this point
, Hsu Ming-yi frowned invisibly.
“Miss Hsu, I’ve done too much for you. My reputation has
been ruined by that woman.”
I listened to the whole process and stared at it in an incredible way: “This is the legend …” Fishing law enforcement?
Hsu Ming-yi gave a short laugh: “Who told her to be so stupid as to write a password on her back and then dare to swipe it? Probably she’s been pretending to be my girlfriend for a long time. She’s delirious and can’t tell the difference between true and false. I can’t get my things with a face.”
She.. Get used to taking shortcuts. I stirred the hot tea in the cup with indifference.
Hsu Ming-yi knocked on the table and said, “I didn’t come to see you today for anything but to tell you that my appearance fee is not cheap, and I won’t give a discount even if I am my brother.”
I looked up at him. “How much?”
“You’re hopeless.” He stood up, glanced at me in silence, and said to himself, “I don’t know what he sees in you..”
Wait for him to go out very far, I just wake up from a dream, he means, all this is Xu Mingze instigated?
“What is this?” Xu Ming only glanced at the card on the table and continued to read with his head down.
“Make it up to you.” I deliberately wanted to pretend to be relaxed. “The teacher can’t let you suffer losses. If it’s not enough, I’ll make up for it.”
“Teacher,” he looked up at me meaningfully, “there are some things I can’t say right now. When you come here to find me on the day you completely put it down, I will always, always wait for you.”
“Put it down?”
“Yes, put it down.” I was almost defeated and ran away
that day. His eyes were too heavy and ambiguous. On the day of the
divorce, Zhou Xu admitted that he would fill the public money for Lin Yiwen and try to get her
lenient treatment. Not surprisingly,
I nodded my head and signed, “Your money, of course, you can
spend it however you want.”
Zhou Xu wanted to speak and stopped, and his eyes flashed slightly.
I stood up and stared at him for a moment.
“If you look closely, you’re really ordinary.”
“What?” Zhou Xu looked at me in astonishment.
“Perhaps it is the love I have given you that has given you a different light.” I talk to myself.
“I heard that your mother knew that Lin Yi-wen was in prison, and she was so angry that she was hospitalized.” I looked at him
with pity for the last time. “Remember to pay for the sanatorium for five years.” All the empty joys of the
past are true and gone.
I don’t think that divorce, breaking up and denying the past can start a new life.
It’s just to get my wonderful life back on track.
Determined to put down the day, it is like finally waiting for the long-lost sunshine to shine on my body.
Xu Mingyi called me, saying that he saw Zhou Xu and his mother in the hospital. His mother looked very ugly, as if she was seriously ill.
His tone was very gloating.
I said, “Hmmm.” “I don’t think I’ll die. The old lady is carrying it.”
“Well, when Zhou Xu paid the fee, I went to the old lady’s place and listened to her. Guess what?”
“Hmm?”
“The old lady told people that she had a hard life. When the orphans and widows couldn’t afford to send Chou Hsu to school, they borrowed money from usurious lenders. If they couldn’t pay, they were almost beaten to death. Guess who paid the money back?”.
I didn’t guess. I just whispered, “Hsu Ming-yi, you’d better go and see your mother more often when you’re free. The sanatorium..” It’s pretty boring. I
have known Zhou Xu for six years. He didn’t want me to know. I didn’t know before, and I don’t want to know in the future.
“What?” Hsu Ming-yi muttered, “His mother is his mother, and my mother is my mother.”
Later, Xu Ming and I went to travel together to relax.
At the windy seaside, I asked him tentatively about his mother, but he told me all about it very frankly.
His mother intervened in his father’s marriage as a third party, and he didn’t find out until his senior year.
Not to mention the impact of the three outlooks, just having his mother say to him, “If it weren’t for you, we would have broken up, and I wouldn’t have to be the third party that everyone shouts to beat,” is enough for him to fall into complete self-doubt.
“I didn’t even know..” I looked at him guiltily and tried to untie him. “Your mother..”
“I hate it.” His face is calm, but his words are shocking. “A large part of the reason I hate the world is that there are adults who only care about their own pleasure and completely ignore responsibility, morality and ethics. They trample on love and marriage.”
I looked at him nervously. The night wind ruffled his hair. His eyes were still quiet and peaceful.
You don’t.. Hate the world..
“I don’t hate it anymore.” He smiled shyly, and there was a shallow pear vortex on his lips. I was stunned.
“Teacher Hsu,” he looked down at me. “What about you? Are you willing to believe in love
again? My heart was beating fast as I stared at
him.
“I’d better say it directly.” He reached over and stroked the corner of my eyebrow, which was very warm.
“Anyi, can you think about letting me chase you?”
I stepped back, and his eyes immediately darkened. Only a moment later, his eyes
lit up again with a smile: “Teacher, I’m joking with you.” Unable to
say whether I was happy or sad, I found an excuse to run away in a hurry.
I tossed and turned, and my heart was in a whirl.
Zhou Xu occupied my whole youth, and all the feelings, even I even tried to find the missing affection
in him.
Lin Yiwen once scolded me for my lack of love and flattering personality. I always knew that I was such
an annoying person. When
Xu Ming looked at me, he had a hazy and depressed feeling. Didn’t I really know that there was something else besides the teacher-student
relationship?
I think I am aware of it, but I force myself not to think too much, wishfully
hoping that there will be one more person who is good to me.
But I forgot how unfair it was to him.
I packed up my things overnight and went back to China, leaving a letter. Before I
can respond, I think I need to wake up my mind. Anyway, I can’t repeat the same mistakes. It was eleven o’clock in the evening when
I got home, and the moment the light came on, I realized something was wrong. The
air was thick with the smell of alcohol and tobacco. I picked up a vase and walked slowly to the bedroom.
Actually, I can guess who it is.
Here is the first money Zhou Xu earned to buy the wedding room, very small, but also very suitable for timid people like me to live alone, so Zhou Xu left it to me.
There are memories of our past everywhere, another key, which I haven’t had time to take back yet.
“Anyi.” Zhou Xu turned his back to me, his voice was calm, and if he listened carefully, he might hear something strange.
He said, “You burned our wedding photos.”
I froze for a moment and shrugged carelessly. “Do you want me to sleep in your face?”? Sorry, I can’t do that.
Zhou Xu was silent and did not speak for a long time, so long that I had no patience to continue waiting, and turned to go out to find another place to live. How can you be so fast.. You did so soon..
I stopped. But
he choked up and could not say the second half of the sentence. For the first time in his life, I heard his voice
trembling like this, his tone of questioning and grievance.
My eyes were a little warm, not because of his words, but because I remembered.
I think of the past here, every night waiting for Zhou Xu to go home, every morning for
Zhou Xu to iron his shirt.
Where is it fast? In the past, I have endured
all your indifference, indifference and indifference for six years.
In the future. Never again.
I didn’t relent, and I didn’t look back.
I closed the door.
[Zhou Xu Fan Wai]
The door is closed.
She’s getting out of here.
At that moment, all the repressed thoughts in Zhou Xu’s mind suddenly came out. He suddenly stood up
and stumbled out of the door. He drank too much wine, and his world was spinning.
He closed his eyes and leaned against the wall, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the living room decoration, which was sky-blue wall
cloth.
“Zhou Xu, what color do you like?” When she got married that year, Xu Anyi
, who had always been careless, offered to be responsible for the decoration of the new house. What did
he say? He forgot.
In short, it’s either “it’s fine if you like it,” or “it’s up to you.”.
He seems to be.. I have no patience with Xu Anyi.
The first time I saw Xu Anyi, she stood on the platform stubbornly, even if she did not vote for her, she
still straightened her spine.
Every time the votes were counted, there would be a snicker from the bottom.
She bit her lip and blushed like a tomato.
He gave her the ticket because of his principles.
Xu Anyi smiled at him with tears in her eyes.
It’s strange that someone will cry when he votes.
Lin Yiwen left crying, he did not have the mind to coax her, the brain has been hovering is that
pair of crystal eyes, holding back tears, there is a special strange beauty. Mother called and urged him to send money back.
Lin Yi-wen wiped away her tears and laughed again. “Chou Hsu, I’ll let my mother give it to Auntie.
It’s more convenient.”
Zhou Xu did not hesitate: “No.”
No, the Zhou family owes the Lin family enough.
The two families are neighbors, and Zhou Fu and Lin Fu are colleagues. Zhou Xu was only six years old when his
father died in the line of duty. Zhou’s mother was born beautiful, but she didn’t know how to live.
She soon squandered all the things left by Zhou’s father.
Zhou Xu, like a little beggar, followed his mother, a big beggar, to borrow money everywhere, and was looked down upon and
bullied. When she
borrowed money, Mother Zhou went to gamble and spend it.
He would be shut out of the house and wander around the world like a ghost.
Fortunately, there is Lin Fu.
Zhou Xu lived in the Lin family for many years. Lin’s father had no son and trained
him as a son. He was almost his second father. He, who was
not rich, carried the future of his two children by himself.
He and Lin Yiwen are getting closer and closer, in fact, the two families have long had the intention to marry each other. Maybe he liked Lin Yiwen, if he knew what it meant to like her.
Lin Yiwen had only been abroad for a few months, and he had almost forgotten what she had said to him
when she left.
He only remembered that she said she was not willing to live an ordinary life and marry such a
lonely and cold-blooded man.
He doesn’t blame her.
He is so afraid of losing that he is never willing to give easily.
Once again met Xu Anyi, this time, her smile is no longer restrained, but not stingy
, without reservation. It was a little annoying to pester him
all day, but occasionally she fell asleep
after chirping beside her, which was also very cute.
After some time, they fell in love, and he was cold to everyone
, even to his mother.
Xu Anyi often cried because of his dullness and coldness.
He often caught her wiping her tears alone, but he just watched in silence.
Liking him is a hard thing to stick to and not worth it at all. He doesn’t believe anyone
can do it. The night before the
engagement, she held their photos and broke down in tears. Zhou Xuxin throbbed slightly and told her deliberately that she
would always be in my heart.
In fact, what he wants to say is that you should go quickly.
Everything about his past, about Lin Yiwen, he kept silent, he had already
learned how to bury the pain quietly.
He pushed her away clumsily. He wanted her to leave to prove that he didn’t deserve to be loved.
He braced himself and opened the door.
Xu Anyi stood on the side of the road to stop the car, and now she was still in tears.
Zhou Xu wanted to catch up, but the next moment, someone held his girl tightly in his arms and
wiped away her tears.
“Hsu Ming-ze.” She looked up at him and her voice was full of grievance. “I..”
The man named Xu Mingze lowered his head and kissed her gently.
Zhou Xu stood still slowly.
He’s the coward.
