Lu Xun once said that unhappy marriages are often not due to lack of love, but to lack of friendship - well, fortunately, there is no Lu Xun and Nietzsche in this world, otherwise Lu Xun would jump up and shout "I didn't say it!", and Nietzsche would hit Shen Huan's head hard with a stick.

But no matter who said it, anyway, Shen Huan felt that Lu Xun's words were very reasonable.

According to a certain psychologist, emotions in friendship can be understood as 8 main elements: joy, mutual assistance, respect, unrestrainedness, acceptance, trust, understanding, and heart-to-heart. In addition to the above elements, there are two indispensable bundles of love, which are passion and care.

Among them, passion can be divided into three components: "being infatuated with the other party", "sexual desire", and "exclusivity", while care includes "always being the opponent's advocate in various disputes" and "giving to the maximum".

Therefore, love is considered a special form of friendship with a unique component and a higher level of affection in the eight dimensions shared by both parties.

These things are basically Shen Huan's perception of love and friendship.

The reason why he didn't accept Benru was because the elements of friendship between him and Benru were basically satisfied, but without the "bundle of passion", he couldn't have an infatuation with Benru, which is the so-called unfulfilled lover.

In Dong Qiao's case, it's just the opposite.

His passion for Dong Qiao is very high, which is the so-called "heartbeat".

If he had been younger, he might have acted on that night last year, saying things like "I like you" or even "I love you" — young people are always impulsive.

But now that he is old after all, it is difficult to say the words "like" and "love" so easily, and he needs to consider many things, such as getting along.

He needs to know whether there are other factors between him and Dong Qiao besides the passion secreted by hormones, whether they can get along, he doesn't want this fire to burn violently for a moment and then there will be nothing left, that is not the love he wants.

And the result of his contact was pleasing to him: he and Dong Qiao were very compatible.

“…… The entrance to the attic was just above the foot of my bed, and every time I lay on my bed at night, I would naturally see that it was dark and swarthy, and I couldn't see anything clearly, like an entrance to another dimension. I still remember one night when the moonlight was very good, and after the lights were turned off, some light spilled down from the windows and the attic, and some images were faintly reflected, and when I looked at the entrance of the attic, it was as if there was a person squatting there looking at me, and the outline of the face was clearly visible, it was a man. ”

Shen Huan said slowly, his tone was deep and a little weird, as if he was telling a ghost story.

Dong Qiao sat opposite him, holding his chin in one hand, listening attentively, his eyes blinked, staring at his face, his face was slightly frightened when he heard this, but he still couldn't help asking, "What is it?"

Shen Huan shook his head, "I don't know, wasn't I still young at that time?" I was so scared that I quickly closed my eyes and went to sleep, and I didn't dare to look at it more, and I didn't go to see it until I got up the next morning, and I didn't find anything abnormal, and I turned off the lights the next night, and I couldn't see it, so I still don't know whether it was the scene of the light reflecting off the object coincidentally at that time, or if there was really such a person who was really squatting at the entrance of the attic at that time." ”

When Dong Qiao heard this, he was a little scared and a little excited, and couldn't help but say: "When you talk about this, I also remember an incident I encountered, which was when I was in college......

Now it was Shen Huan's turn to listen to her.

The two of them chatted here for a long time, and there seemed to be endless words, but what they said was actually some nonsense about their parents' short and past experiences.

In normal times, Shen Huan didn't bother to talk about these things, let alone waste time listening to these boring things, but now it's different.

When the other party was Dong Qiao, even if it was all nonsense, he listened to it with relish, and it felt like it was comparable to the most wonderful movie - his IQ seemed to have really dropped. And when it comes to nonsense, he has a strong desire to talk.

Dong Qiao seemed to be the same as him, when he spoke, she kept staring at him with those flashing eyes, very focused. When she wanted to speak, she said it energetically, and it was Shen Huan's turn to look at her.

Of course, this is a relatively harmonious state, and the two also have times when they grab words and conflict, such as now.

“…… Now that I think about it, I was so bold at that time, I didn't turn on the lights, and went straight to open the door of the small dormitory, but when I opened the door, there was a sound of someone talking in the bathroom on the right. It was pitch black in the dormitory, and it was pitch black in the bathroom, so it was impossible for anyone to be in it, but I did hear someone talking, and the voice was very clear, and I still remember what she said at the time, 'I'll be back in two days, don't worry', and I don't remember it anymore. I was so scared at the time, the cold hair stood up, but at that time it was too late to turn back to the living room and turn on the lights, so I could only quickly open the door of the small dormitory, rushed in directly and turned on the lights of the small dormitory with my backhand, and stayed in it for more than ten seconds before I dared to go out, but I still didn't dare to go to the bathroom, first went to the door of the living room and turned on all the lights, and finally went to turn on the lights in the bathroom. ”

Dong Qiao was obviously talking about a terrifying experience to scare people, but Shen Huan was still safe and sound, she herself was scared with fear in her eyes first, it seems that this incident did bring her a lot of psychological shadows.

Then her face was smug again, "Am I very bold?"

Shen Huan didn't praise her as she wanted, but analyzed rationally: "It may be that someone upstairs or downstairs is lying on the window of the bathroom to make a call, and the voice comes like this." ”

When Dong Qiao heard this, seeing that his proud work was explained like this, he said angrily: "Oh, you're so annoying!"

Shen Huan smiled: "You have such a reaction, which means that you have already thought about this possibility." ”

Dong Qiao rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair, "I don't want to pay attention to you." His head was twisted to the side, not looking at Shen Huan.

Fortunately, the manager has already been pushed away and is not on the side, otherwise I am afraid that I will be shocked again when I see this scene of playing with a spear.

Seeing this, Shen Huan's eyes rolled, and he said categorically: "I think it's wrong, it must be a ghost! You are so bold, if it were me, I would definitely be so scared that I wouldn't dare to go to the bathroom......" He was sincerely frightened on his face, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

After he said this, Dong Qiao turned his head, looked at Shen Huan, and said, "You know how good I am, right?"

Shen Huan nodded again and again and looked at her, "I know, I know." ”

The two of them looked at each other like this, their eyes were sincere, one was proud, and after looking at each other for two seconds, they suddenly chuckled together, and then somehow, maybe they were both a little embarrassed by their respective childish actions just now, and they turned their eyes away, one pretending to arrange the napkin on his legs, and the other was slowly shaking the red wine glass on the table, looking down at it, as if there was a dragon inside.

The scene was rarely quiet, and there was a strange atmosphere flowing in it.

In the end, it was Shen Huan's voice that broke the silence.

"By the way, I don't have your phone number yet. ”

After he "tidied up" the napkin on his leg, he raised his head again and looked at Dong Qiao opposite.

Although from the exchange just now and some of his subsequent temptations, he could see that Dong Qiao had an inexplicable hostility towards Shen Huan and was a little troublesome, but this state of getting along between the two made him feel too comfortable, and his little heart was jumping happily, and he very much wanted to have further contact and development with Dong Qiao. As for her inexplicable hostility towards Shen Huan, she can understand the reason and slowly resolve it in the process of slow contact.

Dong Qiao also pulled his eyes up from the cup and looked at Shen Huan, but he didn't give his mobile phone number immediately, but his eyes wandered, and he suddenly laughed.

"My mobile phone number is not given to people randomly, you have to show some skills......"

Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she looked around again, and finally settled in one direction.

"See the musicians over there?"

Shen Huan followed her fingers and saw that there were several musicians in that direction, violin, cello, accordion, and piano, and from the time the two of them entered the restaurant to the present, these musicians were playing some soothing pieces from time to time to provide the atmosphere, and the volume was well controlled, not only not to disturb their conversation, but also to serve as an appreciation and topic of conversation when there was nothing to say - of course, this situation has not happened between the two of them tonight.

Now they're resting, after all, they're not machines, and they can't play all the time.

"You pick ......"

Dong Qiao was about to exit, when he suddenly changed his tone, "You go and play a violin for me, if I am satisfied with listening, I will give you my mobile phone number." ”

Shen Huan looked at her and saw a look of schadenfreude and anticipation in her eyes.

She seemed to want to see herself make a fool of herself.

Dong Qiao really thinks so.

At the beginning, she may still have stayed in the impression of last year, thinking that this He Jinshui was a very manly non-mainstream youth, but as she got in touch, she found that this was not the case.

Whether it is the hooligan blackmail arranged, or the romantic snow scene, the luxury supercar, the chartered high-end restaurant, the meal, or the subsequent conversations, he has always coped with it easily, he is not surprised to see his supercar, nor is he embarrassed by not knowing how to use Western tableware correctly, which makes Dong Qiao more and more interested in him.

This is obviously not an ordinary killer Matt non-mainstream, there seems to be a lot of hidden behind his exaggerated makeup, mysterious and dangerous, which attracts her very much to find out.

She wondered if this guy, who seemed to have always been able to handle it, could handle it now.

At the same time, this is also out of her competitive spirit: she prepared so much tonight, but it didn't seem to have a good effect, in the contact between the two sides, the rhythm was faintly shot by Shen Huan's empty gloves and white wolf, which made her accustomed to taking the initiative have a rare sense of frustration, and she urgently needed to frustrate the other party's sharpness.

And in the case that Shen Huan is asking her now, it is a good way to let him play the violin.

This kind of musical instrument, which has the title of "after the musical instrument", is very difficult to learn, and judging from the conversation between the two of them just now, He Jinshui did not specifically learn any musical instrument when he was a student, so when he pulls it up, it will probably be as harsh as sawing wood, right?

That must have been embarrassing for him.

Thinking of that scene, Dong Qiao was very happy, happy that he was finally able to cut the momentum of He Jinshui.

That's right, even if it's in love, even if the object this time is a man, she must take the initiative and take the advantage, after all, she has always been used to it.

……

"Are you sure?"

Shen Huan looked at Dong Qiao, who was gloating at him, and suddenly smiled brightly, "It's that simple, I thought it would be so difficult." ”

Seeing his appearance of being a bamboo in his chest, the corners of Dong Qiao's slowly hooked mouth paused, and then he raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows, "It's as simple as that, who made me reluctant to embarrass you?"

The bravado is quite good, there are no flaws to see, and the acting is good - of course, the thick makeup on his face also helps a lot.

However, Dong Qiao has experienced a lot of battles, how can he be easily bluffed?

"That's good. ”

Shen Huan nodded, tidied up, got up from his seat, walked towards the musicians, and after communicating for a while, he came back with a violin in a very heroic posture: he grabbed the fretboard from behind with his right hand, and put the violin upside down as if he was holding a torch, holding the bow in his left hand and carrying it diagonally on his shoulder.

Not to mention how ecstatic this posture is, where does it look like a musician? Like a hunter returning from hunting, the eyes of the musician behind him who had been borrowed from the violin were full of distress.

This piano is his treasure, Soveran Chesco's handmade piano in 2001, priced at 60,002, is his treasure at the bottom of the box, and today is also an important occasion to take it out, but he didn't expect to be treated like this, just looking at him distressed, for fear that the other party would be so unstable in grasping and unstable, one accidentally fell off, and I was afraid that the other party would be treated so vulgarly and break the piano.

"Awesome, master!"

Before Shen Huan walked in front of him, Dong Qiao had already applauded and admired again and again, his eyes were full of smiles, "I can tell at a glance from your posture that you have a deep accomplishment in the violin." I've never seen a catch like yours. ”

Shen Huan looked at her with a smile and said as he walked, "Are you opening your eyes now?"

"Eyes open, eyes open,"

Dong Qiao said repeatedly, the schadenfreude in his eyes became stronger and stronger, "I really can't wait to hear your 'wonderful' piano sound." ”

Shen Huan finally walked in front of her, stood still, clumsily swapped the body and bows with his left and right hands, put the body on his shoulders, and finally stretched his body and bowed to Dong Qiao half-bending.

Shen Huan said with a smile: "This is the song I composed for you after last year's encounter, and it is also an interpretation of my mood at that time, please listen carefully." If it doesn't pull well, please forgive me. ”

Dong Qiao didn't expect this, he was stunned, and then a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

Did he write his own music? And he did it for himself?

Is this a continuation of bluffing or is it really a thing? Could it be that he can really play the violin? Even if he can play, it is not a simple thing to create.

But she didn't show weakness, and nodded directly, "Then come on, I'll listen." ”

Shen Huan also nodded, tilted his head, clamped his cheek rest, and slowly raised the bow in his right hand, and then really began to pull it up.

……
