Chapter 2: Despair and Doubt
At that moment, He Feng felt that his whole body had fallen into the ice cave. A bone-chilling chill instantly spread throughout the body.
Meeting that man was only a few hours ago, and He Feng was sure he wouldn't be mistaken.
In a flash of thought, he immediately thought of the woman he had just seen in room 1217 of the Panda Hotel, with her back to the door, her hands handcuffed behind her back, and kneeling on the ground. Her back is very similar to her wife Zhang Yi. It's just that the woman's hair is tied up, and Zhang Yi usually wears her hair loose. But this difference doesn't mean anything.
Could this be what Zhang Yi said about business trips? She goes on business trips two or three times a month, and almost every time she goes on a one-day business trip.
He Feng didn't dare to continue thinking about it anymore.
At this time, he had an impulse to rush directly to room 1217 of the Yuelai Hotel to see if Zhang Yi was there. But he lacked the courage to do so. He was afraid that the woman who was kneeling on the ground and tasting the other man's bottom with relish was really his wife, and he was afraid that he would open the door and see his wife under the crotch of another man......
Inadvertently, his gaze swept over the wedding photo at the bedside.
In the photo, He Feng, who is in the wind of Yushu, is holding the amorous Zhang Yi from behind. The faces of both of them are filled with the sweetness and joy of love finally coming to fruition.
This is a photo taken shortly after they graduated from college.
He Feng and Zhang Yi were college classmates, and they got married after graduating from college. Three years later, the crystallization of their love was born.
He Feng asked himself, since he was with Zhang Yi, he always put her first in his life.
When he fell in love at school, He Feng had been working part-time outside the school to earn money, buying clothes, bags, and cosmetics for Zhang Yi. Even in order to make Zhang Yi eat well, He Feng only ate one meal a day for a while, and he was so hungry that his stomach hurt every night, so he charged the saved money into Zhang Yi's meal card.
After work, in order to be able to negotiate a few more orders and get a little more commission, He Feng went out to drink with customers three or four days a week. After drinking for a while, I have to run to the bathroom, pick my throat and spit it out and go back to drink. No matter what the customer says, he is always greeted with a smile. Even if the other party is mocking and insulting themselves. At the beginning of the month, I sorted out customer information until the early hours of the morning every day.
In this way, the lives of the two gradually improved. They had their first car, their first house. Despite this, He Feng still felt that he was not good enough. He also wants his wife to be like her colleagues, carrying luxury bags and driving luxury cars to work every day, and when shopping, she will not check the price before buying something, let alone go home to find the same style on a certain treasure.
It was because of these considerations that He Feng resigned at the end of last year to start a business. In the company, I work hard, the boss takes the lion's share, and I can only drink soup with it, but if I do it myself, no matter how much I earn, it is my own.
In order to start a business with his friends, He Feng not only invested all his savings, but also borrowed hundreds of thousands of online loans. But what I didn't expect was that in the first half of this year, I encountered a special situation. Their training institutions are completely unable to open classes. However, the high rent and monthly repayments are as punctual as ever. The days of paying rent and repaying the loan were a great torment for He Feng, and every few days, he had to try his best to raise money to repay his debts.
The day he had prayed for an improvement in the situation had not yet come, and he could no longer hold on. In the end, I had to close the door.
After more than half a year, I didn't make any money, but I lost 1 million.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Yi's work as an assistant department manager in the company during this period of time was not affected, and he had an income of several thousand yuan per month, they wouldn't know how to get through these months.
In the past few months, He Feng has always felt ashamed of his wife and daughter, if he hadn't been tossing around blindly and had to start a business, he wouldn't have lost a lot of money. In that way, the family can still live a normal life as usual, and the well-off is not enough, but there is more than enough food and clothing.
But now, my wife hasn't bought new clothes for several months, and she doesn't dare to go shopping when someone asks her wife to go shopping for several days, for fear that she won't be laughed at if she can't afford to buy clothes. Because of lack of money, my daughter's dance class was also stopped, and a picnic organized by the kindergarten was too expensive, so I didn't participate in it under the pretext that there was something at home. In the past, I would give my parents one or two thousand yuan a month, but in the past few months, this money has also been cut off.
Because of this, how many late nights, He Feng was deeply blaming himself.
Every time his wife and daughter lose their temper with themselves, He Feng bears it silently. He felt that all the fault was on himself.
He even thought that his wife would file for divorce because he couldn't support the family. But what he never expected was that his wife would cheat!
He Feng picked up a box of Hongtashan from the coffee table and lit one. A faint smoke slowly rose, obscuring his vision. Looking through the smoke, the home became a little unfamiliar. It's like his wife, who has shared the bed for so many years and thinks he is very familiar with, actually has another side that he doesn't know.
It seems like...... Maybe...... Possible...... Really......
He Feng remembers very clearly that there were two times last year, on the day his wife came back from a business trip, he happened to be fine at the time and offered to pick her up at the high-speed rail station. But Zhang Yi clearly refused.
I don't know when it started, Zhang Yi's mobile phone didn't leave his hand. I will take a bath and go to the toilet with me. She also has another mobile phone, and her own explanation is to prevent privacy leakage, and she specially set up a new mobile phone card to answer calls for express delivery and takeaway. And sometimes she doesn't want to make a sound on her phone for a day, but now that she thinks about it, it may be turned to silent.
Every time Zhang Yi comes back from a business trip, the first two things he does when he gets home are brushing his teeth and taking a bath. And He Feng was never allowed to go in when he was taking a bath, and once He Feng went in to get something, but Zhang Yi was furious.
There were also a few times when Zhang Yi received a phone call or WeChat notification at night, saying that the company had an urgent matter and needed to work overtime, and then he didn't come back until night.
How could a campus couple who was once envied by so many people become like this?!
Thinking of the campus, He Feng remembered one thing, which was their classmate and Zhang Yi's best friend, Li Sha had a conversation with him.
