Chapter 223: Mother and Daughter
Obviously, Dong Yulan didn't believe Qin Yi's words very much. But it doesn't matter, because Xia Yuxin believes in him. Qin Yi then turned to Xia Yuxin and nodded at her with a smile. Xia Yuxin still looked a little cramped, she looked at her mother, but quickly turned her eyes away: "You...... How have you been all these years?"
She wanted to say that she hadn't actually blamed you for all these years, and that she had thought about coming to you, but she was worried that her father would be upset, and that she didn't think she should have come to you. Qin Yi said lightly.
Xia Yuxin's hands grabbed her legs uneasily, and she didn't refute.
Dong Yulan glanced at Qin Yi, and then smiled at Xia Yuxin: "It's good, you have to try to learn from me on this point." Sometimes women don't need to rely on men to live well, have their own independent life, go out and see more, and have a greater chance of meeting the person they like. ”
Qin Yi turned to Xia Yuxin and smiled: "Your mother actually wants to say that although she has been doing well on the surface over the years, she is actually not so good. She has been feeling regret and guilt all these years, but not for your father, but for you. She's glad you came this time. ”
Dong Yulan frowned, and sneered angrily: "Why do you say that?"
"There's no doubt that you're living a single life now, right?" Qin Yi smiled, "Back then, you didn't hesitate to abandon your husband and such a lovely daughter for that man, and you had to face the public opinion around you, you must have loved him very much, right? But in the end, you still failed, which makes you feel very desperate, right? So for so many years, you haven't developed with other men." ”
"Oh, why are you so confident that I haven't developed with other men?" Dong Yulan asked dissatisfiedly, holding her arms.
"You're undoubtedly still an attractive woman, and there must still be a lot of men who pursue you, I'm sure of that. Qin Yi smiled and said, "However, none of your whole body is a gift from a man, what does this mean?"
Qin Yi paused and continued: "You should know that there is a big difference between the aesthetics of men and women, and many things can be seen at a glance whether they are selected by men or women, and you don't deny this, right? This means that you must be despairing of the results of the year. ”
Dong Yulan fell silent, and her eyes darkened a lot.
Saying that, Qin Yi smiled: "This is actually not surprising, I can see from the fact that you chose to abandon your husband and daughter back then, you have given up rationality at that time, did not care about the voice of your brain, and chose sensibility, that is, to listen to your own heart." ”
Speaking of this, Qin Yi shook his head and sighed: "However, this kind of absolute sensibility is not a good thing. If you give up rational thinking, it will inevitably lead you into blindness, and I think that the man who attracted you may not be a Chinese but a foreigner or a foreign Chinese, and the two of you sparked in a brief contact and fell into an incomparable love ......"
"He seems to be able to mingle with you in soul, and you seem to see the same world, and you have the same dream at night. It makes you feel that this man must be your destiny. Qin Yi said, looking at Xia Yuxin, Xia Yuxin was also looking at him at this time, with a hint of longing in her eyes, obviously she had also been searching for the answer to this question.
Qin Yi just smiled at her and said softly: "However, I think any relationship is a combination of reason and emotion, a delicate balance. Some people are a little more emotional and some people are a little more rational, but relying on only one of them is bound to blind you, and it will be too late to realize when you find out. ”
Saying that, Qin Yi looked at Dong Yulan and smiled: "You must know this very well, right? You gave up everything to be with him, not only his short life here, but even planned to leave with him to live abroad, but he never thought of maintaining a long-term relationship with you, but only regarded you as a beautiful encounter." ”
"Why do you know this?" Dong Yulan asked a little tiredly covering her forehead, Qin Yi smiled faintly: "Guess, a little logical reasoning and a little simple observation." You used to be a travel experience teacher, you must have met him at work, right? You probably had a relationship abroad, and after returning to China, you met him very coincidentally, which makes you think that the two of you have a fate. ”
Saying that, Qin Yi shrugged his shoulders: "You are the kind of person who is particularly emotional, and you must be very concerned about fate." So this man immediately caught your attention, and after that, the two of you also went on well. And I noticed that there is only one photo of you abroad in your room, which is the ......" Qin Yi pointed to the photo on the side of the TV cabinet.
In the photo, it is Dong Yulan's appearance when she was young, she looks less than thirty years old, but she may be in her thirties.
"It's Prague's Old Town Square, right? I saw the statue of Jan Hus. Qin Yi smiled and said, "Why is there only that one? Because you are a travel experience master, you must go abroad alone, after all, you have to study the travel route." So your photos must be landscapes, and you won't see yourself in your photos. So who took this picture?"
Dong Yulan smiled slightly: "Yes, he took it." He said that when the pigeon flew up from me, I looked like an angel. However, he didn't capture that moment, only this one. That's also the origin of our acquaintance, and although things have all passed, only this photo, I still stayed. ”
Speaking of this, Dong Yulan looked at Qin Yi and asked with interest, "What happened after that?" ”
It's easier to speculate. Qin Yi smiled, "You don't look like the kind of person who will hide it from others, so you must have told that man that you were married, and he said he didn't care, saying that he thought the two of you were real love and other romantic words." And this is also a point that you blindly and did not notice, what kind of man would not mind if the woman is married?"
Dong Yulan sighed, and Qin Yi sneered, "A single man? The first is that the man is also married, while the second is that the man has not thought about being with the other person for a long time at all, but a short-term relationship. Either way, it's already doomed you and him to have no good ending, you should figure this out later, right?"
"Awesome. Dong Yulan clapped her hands and applauded, "So you know everything, huh? That's right, it's the same as you guessed." The man was already married, and when I put everything down and planned to go abroad with him, he began to prevaricate. When he finally couldn't find an excuse, he told me that he was married, but he didn't love his wife, unlike me......"
Speaking of this, Dong Yulan sneered: "A bunch of excuses, shameful loser ......" said, she lit a lady's cigarette and smoked it, and sighed: "Of course, I am the same myself." That's right, I regretted that I was too blind to see the truth, and as you said, I don't feel guilty about Xin'er's father at all. ”
Dong Yulan snorted a little self-deprecatingly: "The reason I was with him back then was more because of the matchmaking of both parents, and I didn't love him." He had a good relationship with my parents and both of them liked him. I thought that after getting along for a long time, I might have feelings, but in fact I didn't. When you don't love someone, the longer you spend with them, the more painful it just becomes......"
As she spoke, Dong Yulan covered her mouth and seemed to be about to choke, but quickly disguised it as a smoking action.
"However, in those days, our love was not as free as your current generation. Dong Yulan said, spit out a puff of smoke rings, looked at Xia Yuxin and smiled, "Having sex with your father is a kind of torture for me every time, but you are the only good thing, I probably stick to it for you." However, when I met that man, I felt that maybe it was time to fight for my own happiness instead of worrying about the opinions of the people around me. ”
Speaking of this, Dong Yulan took another long puff of cigarette: "However, obviously it still failed." So I'm actually quite guilty of you, I didn't witness your growth, I taught you my own lessons, and I hope you don't follow my path. Isn't that what it's like to be a parent? But you must hate me all these years, right? Thinking that I abandoned you back then. ”
Xia Yuxin shook her head and said in a low voice: "No, just like Xiao Yi said, I want to hate you, but I really can't be ruthless, but I understand you very well." If it were me, I wouldn't be able to be with someone I don't love. But I sympathize with my father, he is so pitiful......"
"Pathetic? Perhaps. Dong Yulan lowered her eyelids and smiled, "If I had rejected him back then, all this would not have happened, and he might be happier than now." What do you think of this gentleman?"
"Well, I also think Yuxin's father is pitiful. Qin Yi smiled, "But it's just now, maybe he can meet the person who is really suitable for him in the future? At that time, maybe he will feel that it is good to divorce you in the first place." ”
"Oh, do you think so?" Dong Yulan asked with interest, Qin Yi shrugged his shoulders: "The future is such a thing, who can know what will happen in the future and what kind of people will be met?"
As he spoke, Qin Yi patted Xia Yuxin on the shoulder: "So, you see, it's just two simple sentences, and everything will be revealed." You don't blame your mother, and your mother feels sorry for not witnessing your upbringing. Shall you talk to each other, mother and daughter? I'll go out and get some fresh air, where's your back garden?"
After Qin Yi left, Dong Yulan looked at the route Qin Yi left, then turned to her daughter and said, "It's been really hard for you all these years, I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother." But it's not too late, I'll make amends. ”
"I don't need you to make up for me. Xia Yuxin shook her head, "As long as I can know your true thoughts, but I still hope you can talk to your father." Even if I don't feel guilty, I hope you can apologize to him. Ever since you left him, he has sunk down, drunk all day long, lost his job, and his life is in chaos......"
"Alas, it's hard for you to grow up in such an environment. Dong Yulan sighed and said, "Your dad is like this, too weak, and when he was with me, he was also that kind of humble feeling...... Not like my husband, but more like my slave, as if it was his great honor to be with me. That's what I don't like about him the most. ”
"But, doesn't that mean he cherishes you very much?" Xia Yuxin asked puzzled.
Dong Yulan's gaze became loving, obviously being able to teach her daughter emotionally made her feel good: "Silly child, we are husband and wife, husband and wife need to get along fairly, and he ...... It's humbling. I was a little dissatisfied, as if he would kneel down and apologize at any moment. You should be able to relate to that, right? After all, you've inherited my appearance. ”
Xia Yuxin nodded, and Dong Yulan sighed and said, "Your dad is too unconfident, especially in front of me. In fact, self-confidence is also what he needs the most, if he can be more confident, I probably won't ......"
Speaking of this, Xia Yuxin shook her head, and then looked at the backyard.
At this moment, Qin Yi was teasing a few cats basking in Dong Yulan's backyard in the back garden. Dong Yulan pondered for a while, then turned to her daughter and said, "Xin'er, that man ......" Xia Yuxin nodded, but then Dong Yulan said, "Don't be with him." ”
"Why, what's wrong with Xiaoyi?" Xia Yuxin frowned and asked dissatisfied.
"I can't put it into words, but it doesn't feel right. Dong Yulan said a little anxiously, "He doesn't look like an ordinary person, and his psychological speculation about people is too accurate." You have to know that the man is the one who can play with people's hearts in their hands. ”
"I know, but Xiaoyi is a good person, if you knew him better, you wouldn't think so. Xia Yuxin said solemnly, "Do you remember that I am a teacher now? Xiaoyi is a colleague in my school, he cares about his students very much, and does his best to deal with the troubles of life and growth for them. As for psychology, he is a Ph.D. in psychology from Stanford University......"
"But ......" Dong Yulan frowned: "It's so strange, he has only known me for less than half an hour, and he just observed my visit to my home, and he knows my experience well...... This kind of person is so strange. I can't tell what was weird. I can only say that I have met many people in my life, but he is far more complex than anyone I have ever met. ”
Xia Yuxin said firmly: "My heart tells me that this man is the one who makes my heart move." But as Xiaoyi said, a relationship requires a balance between emotion and reason, so I keep it rational and plan to observe him for a while. ”
"Is that so......" Dong Yulan looked at Qin Yi's back and pondered for a while, and then suddenly smiled: "Stay here tonight, right? Make up for our mother-daughter time, it just so happens that I also want to hear about him." ”
