Chapter 43 Earnest and cowardly, from the beginning to the end

"I'll go back tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is Saturday, and usually Fang Shanmu only returns on Sunday, but this time he suddenly changed his mind, "Go home for dinner tomorrow night." ”

After a long while, Sheng Chen replied to the message: "Why did you come back early? I didn't prepare your favorite dishes, or you don't come back, I still have to purchase, it's troublesome." ”

Fang Shanmu smiled, sensing the surprise other than Sheng Chen's pretended disgust: "No, you can eat whatever you want." ”

"People who say casual are the most picky people. ”

"Don't worry about it, I'll buy some food on the way. ”

"Don't make a fuss, the food you buy is either bad, inedible, not tasty, or too expensive. ”

"People always have to learn to improve, and it takes trial and error to know where the mistakes are. Fang Shanmu smiled softly, "Cheng Pengpeng said that my clothes are too old-fashioned and stereotypical, and they don't quite fit the demeanor of Internet elites, can you help me choose a few more clothes online...... Be younger, in line with the temperament of an entrepreneur, not the style of a vice president of a large company. ”

"Got it...... Since it was Cheng Pengpeng's opinion, why don't you let her accompany you to buy it and help you choose?"

"I'm used to wearing the clothes you bought, and even if I only provide reference advice, I always feel that it is not appropriate to wear it on my body. ”

"Truth?" Sheng Chen quickly issued a sentence, without waiting for Fang Shanmu to answer, and said, "Okay, I'll help you take a look when I have time, but I may not be free, I've been too busy lately." ”

Fang Shanmu knew that Sheng Chen had been really busy recently, in addition to the increased workload in Mengwei's company, he was also helping Jiangbian to do some preliminary work for the establishment of Haojingchang, and he also had to take care of his son, and he had to be responsible for the communication and contact of the classmates' association.

"How does it feel to be busy?"

"It's tiring, but fulfilling, and will forget many things, including you. Now it's the same for me if you don't come back. I now understand how you used to feel, when a person is fully engaged in their work, they become numb to other things, or rather, they don't have much interest. ”

Fang Shanmu didn't reply, his mood was a little heavy. It is indeed difficult for people to empathize, because many things will not know the hardships and experiences without personal experience, now Sheng Chen is working, and it is very likely that he will have a career in the future, why does he feel not happy but lost?

Hasn't he always disliked Sheng Chen for being out of society for too long, he doesn't know what era it is now, and he doesn't know how difficult it is to work and how difficult it is to make money? Now Sheng Chen has adapted to the identity of a woman in the workplace, and he is able to maneuver between the workplace and the family alone, skillfully switching between the identity of the workplace elite and the housewife, but he feels that Sheng Chen is much farther away from him.

Fang Shanmu didn't sleep well all night, dreaming over and over again, dreaming of playing in the ditch in the west of the village in his childhood, studying in the county seat and fighting with people when he was a teenager, going to the provincial capital in high school, and meeting Sheng Chen after college.

In the dream, Fang Shanmu lost to Zheng Yuandong in the competition of love, he was in pain, looking at Sheng Chen and Zheng Yuandong walking hand in hand in the campus, he couldn't wait to rush over and beat Zheng Yuandong and then snatch Sheng Chen.

As a result, Sheng Chen and Zheng Yuandong broke up later, and he once again mustered up the courage to pursue Sheng Chen, but once again lost to Meng Wei! After graduating from college, Sheng Chen married Meng Wei, but Sheng Chen and Meng Wei's marriage did not last long, and soon ended in quarrels and cold wars.

After the divorce, Sheng Chen came to work in Fang Shanmu's company, and slowly developed feelings for him. He never accepted that Sheng Chen had two unforgettable emotional experiences, and she chose Zheng Yuandong first, because Zheng Yuandong was richer than him. Later, he married Meng Wei, because Meng Wei was more stalker than he was thick-skinned when chasing women. Unfair, why are there so many unfair things in the world?

Fang Shanmu's career has been going well, but the emotional road is very bumpy. When he pursued Sheng Chen in college, he unsuccessfully, and rejected Zhou Zhizhi out of overly sensitive self-esteem, and it was not until graduation that he met a girl he liked - Fan Ruolin.

Fan Ruolin is a Shandong girl, who not only dares to love and hate, but also adheres to tradition. She and Fang Shanmu decided to marry Fang Shanmu soon after they met, although Fang Shanmu was slow to heat, but after a long time, he was still conquered by Fan Ruolin's enthusiasm, cheerfulness and generosity, and finally made up his mind to marry her, but he killed another girl - Hua Liunian.

Hua Liunian is a native of Shanxi, and Fan Ruolin is a northerner, but her personality is more stubborn and determined than Fan Ruolin, and she is also more active and bold than Fan Ruolin in terms of feelings. After liking Shangshanmu, she launched a fierce attack on Fang Shanmu, and soon Fang Shanmu fell into it, unable to escape the love network she had woven with one hand.

Fan Ruolin was unwilling to be robbed of her happiness by latecomers, and wanted to compete with Hua Liunian for Fang Shanmu. Fang Shanmu hesitated at this time, according to his own aesthetic and psychological tendencies, he still preferred Fan Ruolin more. But the excitement and novelty brought to him by the flower year made it difficult for him to let go. Although reason told Fang Shanmu that in fact, Fan Ruolin was more suitable for him, he and Fan Ruolin were together, the family was happier and the life was more satisfying, but people were always greedy and not enough to swallow elephants, he wanted to seek a passion in Hua Liunian that could allow him to break the convention, all along, his life was too stable and too step-by-step, without ups and downs and surprises.

Fan Ruolin noticed Fang Shanmu's swaying, she didn't cry, nor did she try to keep it, she just left a letter and said goodbye. Fang Shanmu first felt guilty for a while, and then he and Hua Liunian were happily together. Men are fickle creatures, and their self-blame only lasts for a month before it becomes peaceful.

Soon Fang Shanmu regretted it.

Unlike Fan Ruolin, who takes good care of him and is obedient, Hua Liunian doesn't know housework and is lazy to do, and she loves vanity, and often asks Fang Shanmu to accompany her to travel and shop. At the beginning of a relationship, laziness and greed can be regarded as cuteness and virtue, but after getting along for a long time, it becomes a contradiction in life. Fang Shanmu began to miss Fan Ruolin's goodness incomparably, Fan Ruolin is both sensible and generous, and is generally measured, Hua Liunian is completely just about his own happiness and ignoring other people's emotions Both selfish and feminist, when he decided to break up with Hua Liunian and return to Fan Ruolin, Sheng Chen appeared in his life again.

Fang Shanmu's career is not small, there is a lot of money, but the man who can make money must be very busy, although Fan Ruolin does not ask him to have enough time to accompany her like Hua Liunian, and to have money to spend, she rarely asks for money, but she wants his time, always emphasizing that companionship is the most affectionate confession.

Sheng Chen is different, she has experienced failed love and failed marriage, she knows and understands men better than Hua Liunian and Fan Ruolin, in addition to showing her love to Fang Shanmu, she neither asks him to do anything for her, nor does she want him to accompany her, let alone her money, she just silently accompanies him, cares for him, gives him warmth, and takes meticulous care of him.

Slowly, Fang Shanmu's feelings for Sheng Chen, which had cooled down, warmed up again, although he couldn't accept Sheng Chen's past, but he couldn't do without Sheng Chen's care. He understood a truth, a really powerful woman is to use the net of love to tolerate men, pay without asking for anything in return, and eventually make men lose their ability to live, and raise men into waste money machines in life, and eventually men will end up in her gentle township.

Later, Fang Shanmu made up his mind to refuse Sheng Chen several times, and each time he couldn't hold out for long before he fell again, Sheng Chen's consideration for him was too meticulous, so that he didn't have the courage to escape at all, he could only be serious and cowardly. Sheng Chen is completely a supplement that he is not good at, and what he doesn't want to say, Sheng Chen says for him. What he won't do, Sheng Chen will help him do. He didn't want to worry about the trouble, Sheng Chen came forward to solve it.

In the end, Fang Shanmu succumbed to his habits and chose Sheng Chen. Fan Ruolin left sadly, saying that she would hate Fang Shanmu for the rest of her life. Hate is hate, there must be hate, life is a complex of contradictions, the process of every choice is the process of choice.

After marrying Sheng Chen, Fang Shanmu was happy and content, Sheng Chen was afraid of losing the happiness in his hands again, maybe a person would only cherish the possession and happiness in front of him if he experienced loss and pain. With Sheng Chen's help and support, Fang Shanmu's career is getting bigger and bigger, because Sheng Chen is both virtuous and family-oriented, so he has no worries.

…… At dawn, Fang Shanmu woke up with a smile. When I think back to the situation in my dream, I feel as if I have lost many fragments of my life. If life could really be repeated, would he still choose Sheng Chen as he did back then? But if it is an experience in a dream, and Sheng Chen comes to him after the divorce, in reality, will he marry Sheng Chen and spend his life with her like in the dream?

Fang Shanmu couldn't answer himself. In the dream, he may be very emotional and tender, but in reality, he is very resolute and decisive, and he is also very rational and firm. It's just that he thought about it for a long time and didn't understand why Fan Ruolin and Hua Liunian didn't exist in his dream, if he had to compare it with reality, Zhou Zhizhi seemed to be a synthesis of the two of them.

After waking up, Fang Shanmu went to wash, and suddenly felt that today was much quieter than usual, and looked at the living room, the usual lively scene was gone, and only Gu Hao was brushing his teeth with a blank face.

By the way, Hu Pan and Xu Wenqu moved to live opposite, no wonder the years are so quiet.

Just thinking about it, the door of Hu Pan's room was pushed open, and Cheng Peng Peng came out of it with a big yawn: "Morning, Uncle Fang, don't forget that there are important things to do today." ”

"What's important?" Fang Shanmu looked innocent.

"I'll help you buy clothes. Cheng Peng smiled proudly and raised his phone, "Don't say no! I've already made an appointment with my dress consultant, and he'll help you choose and dress up." Not only for the company's image, but also for the sake of the company's image, aren't you going to participate in the class reunion soon? ”
