CHAPTER XLV
When do people choose to panic?
I curled up in the dark red single sofa, not thinking about Jiang Beisheng's idea of going to Shanghai, but planting all my thoughts in his anxious questioning, thinking and wondering.
Although Jiang Beisheng and I have long said that this is a marriage that allows each other to hide something, I still care very much, what is he afraid of?
The last question is also what I am most worried about: In the long run, will Jiang Beisheng become the second Mo Jia in my life?
The second Mojia?
This shocking thought suddenly made my spine cold, I reached out and touched it, cold sweat continued, and I quickly sat up straight and sent a rescue message to Garfield: Cat, in daily life, who will you lose self-restraint and show panic?
After waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, Garfield belatedly replied with two words: a lot.
I was sitting precariously holding my phone in the palm of my hand, and my two eyes were like two nails nailed to the "lot" on the screen, and I was a little stunned.
The length of a woman's speech always increases in proportion to the depth of her pleasure. For example, no matter who asks something, as long as she answers with nonsense and opens her mouth, it proves that she is in the same mood at the moment as a bird with wings on her wings, on the other hand, when you ask the most sincere doubts in the most serious grammar, she chooses the most ordinary words and puts together the shortest sentences to reply, not to mention how bad her mood is, at least it proves that she is in a bad mood at the moment and has no time to pay attention to you.
I've always been a good girl who is reasonable and considerate of her friends and kind-hearted. If it were in normal times, I would have retreated silently with self-knowledge, but today, it was so unlucky, from opening my eyes in the morning to this moment, no matter what people I met or things I encountered, none of them could be called smooth.
As the saying goes, horizontal and vertical are unlucky, and there are not many unlucky ones.
I came back to my senses and typed a long paragraph of the past without hesitation: if I had to answer this question, the answer would be wonderful and complex. For example, if a mouse or cockroach suddenly pops out of the kitchen, I will panic, I will panic when I am shy but my salary is far away, I will panic when I forget to bring my mobile phone when I go out, I will panic when I collide with a fairy, she will not be as effective as me, I will panic, Nanako will get back a bunch of photos of a man and decide to choose a husband for me, I will panic, and I will panic when her weight soars mercilessly in the red light warning of the electronic scale...... With enough time, I can say three days and three nights without the same. Isn't it amazing?
Two quarters of an hour later, Garfield called me directly, and I pressed it twice in a panic before I could get the phone through.
"Cat, I must affirm that I did not mean to ......"
"The courier called me at eight o'clock this morning and asked me to go downstairs to pick up an urgent shipment. ”
If my best friends and I were to have a highly educated, successful, and prosperous Garfield, there would be no doubt that we would be the one at the top of the pyramid of the four.
In order to be worthy of this glory, she also warned me many times when I was angry and ruined my image: Don't and can't lose your upbringing at any time, because you can't be someone else's queen without regrets, and you can't be the best version of yourself is stupid.
If she was right and right, she really shouldn't have interrupted me without asking anything.
I clung to my phone and coughed, "Cat, you listen to me." ”
"Today you have to listen to me. ”
I was startled, and then I realized Garfield's abnormality: "What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"
"There's nothing wrong with that, I just want you to stop talking and be a quiet mute and listen to me. ”
If this sentence had been uttered by Garfield in a commanding or arrogant tone, I would have chosen to hang up without saying a word. But she wasn't, and I listened intently, and sure enough, I heard a soft choked voice.
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva as if it was me, not her, who was choking.
“…… When I went downstairs to pick up the package, I was still thinking, could it be that the clothes I bought online have arrived? I wasn't unhappy at all, until I signed and opened the document bag, do you know what it is?"
I'm tempted to blurt out: What?
When the words came to his lips, he remembered that the role he was playing at the moment was that of a quiet mute, so he had to swallow the words back.
After a moment of silence, Garfield spoke in a voice that grew deeper and deeper.
"It's the divorce agreement that Wei Siming sent me. ”
I closed my eyes sadly.
Wei Siming is not only Garfield's first love, but also very likely to become her ultimate love.
Their acquaintance was destined.
Ten years ago, Garfield went to Huizhou due to a failed exam, we thought it was a sad story, and it wasn't until a year later, when Garfield took Wei Siming back to his hometown in the east of the city, that we had an epiphany, this is a love story.
Wei Siming is a year older than us, and is an indigenous person in another third-tier city next door. Also because of the failure of the exam, he went to teach at the private school in Huizhou a year earlier than Garfield.
It's about love that is at work, and when they came back, they lived up to expectations and became in-service public teachers. The fly in the ointment is that he is a public teacher in his third-tier city, and she is a public teacher in her third-tier city.
It is said that love is at work, and there are too many words of complaining, and no one of us who has a tacit understanding has complained much. Although the distance between the two places takes two and a half hours to fight, in the first three years of intense love, the five-hour drive back and forth did not stop them from wanting to get married.
This is a lover who eventually became married, but they argued endlessly over whether the marriage house should be bought in her or his third-tier city. In the end, Wei Siming won by virtue of "it is his duty to support his family as a man, and it is his responsibility to settle down and start a business, and he resolutely does not allow himself to marry into a foreign city and become a son-in-law who is inverted".
It was the victory or defeat of this quarrel that completely exposed Wei Siming's shortcomings and shortcomings as a traditional man. Such drawbacks and shortcomings are bound to not tolerate Garfield's unconventional ambition and unease with the status quo.
That's an afterword.
I took a deep breath, and Garfield's sigh flickered and flickered: "Fox, it's fake not to be sad, and it's fake to be sad, so I decided to put it on hold for the time being, not to sign, because I have to figure out whether I'm more upset than sad, or more relieved than not relieved." ”
It's probably more difficult than not sad.
Otherwise, a woman who is still young and resolute and decisive will not choose to separate and not divorce indefinitely.
As for Wei Siming, I dare not hesitate to affirm that it is also more difficult than not sad for him to make this choice, otherwise, he would not have lived like a missionary in the days of separation.
Compared with not loving and breaking up, this kind of obviously in love, just because the male protagonist and the female protagonist or the female protagonist and the male protagonist cannot reach an agreement, and choose to part ways of the husband and wife conflict, I was pleasantly surprised to find that being a silent mute is still a wise move to save worry and effort.
"As for your panic," Garfield said suddenly, "fox, as long as it has nothing to do with men, all panic is allowed." Are you because of men?"
In front of smart people, trying to get through by plugging and beating the department is really in vain.
I lied in my heart: "No, not a man. ”
"Man? What man?"
As soon as the words fell, a surprised tone flashed in with a figure quickly.
