Chen Xuewu listened to the middle-aged man's words, his face flashed a little embarrassed, and then he regained his calm: "This gentleman's words are wrong. Many beautiful emotions in life can not be covered by the love of men and women, and confidants are not limited to the opposite sex, as long as they are like-minded people, in the face of the scenery of elegance and vulgarity, they can also share the feelings of life. ”

"Hahaha..." The middle-aged man couldn't help laughing, "Your brother has a point. But I don't know what you feel about life? ”

Chen Xuewu sighed: "You and I are both peers, we have experienced the changes of this era together, and we must have tasted many bitter and sweet lifes. Isn't there some common sentiment? ”

The middle-aged man couldn't help but look at Chen Xuewu carefully: "What do you do?" ”

In order to impress the other party with Chen Xuewu, Li Chunhong took a few steps forward and interjected: "My boyfriend is a screenwriter. "Love from a Distance", which is currently on the air, is his work. ”

The middle-aged man showed a confused face: "Love from afar? Haven't heard of it. ”

Chen Xuewu immediately said humbly: "It's just an obscure urban drama, of course you don't bother to know." ”

The middle-aged man immediately stood in awe: "I don't usually watch TV dramas. Not to mention "Love from a Distance", it is a TV series that others are familiar with, and I am not very familiar with it. However, I have great respect for the literati who can conceive such stories. As soon as I look at your temperament, I know that you are good. ”

Chen Xuewu said with a smile: "I think you are not bad, if you are not mistaken, you must be a knowledgeable gentleman, right?" ”

The middle-aged man also waved his hand humbly: "Don't dare." I'm just an art teacher. ”

Li Chunhong was curious: "Which school do you teach in?" ”

"Central Academy of Fine Arts!" The middle-aged man replied without thinking.

This time it was Chen Xuewu's turn to be in awe: "The people who can teach there are professor-level lecturers." You must be a famous painter, right? ”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "I can't talk about famous painters, but I am just famous in that circle." ”

Chen Xuewu sighed: "You are already very remarkable. We're kind of peers. But I need to learn from you. ”

The middle-aged man was puzzled: "Why do you say that?" ”

Chen Xuewu explains: "A beautiful picture scroll is like a beautiful text. And a beautiful text is just like a beautiful picture. You are a painter in the art of drawing, and I am a writer. Since there are so many entry points for words and pictures, can't we find something that can resonate? ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then burst into hearty laughter: "Hahaha, you said it well." We are fortunate to meet us today. ”

Chen Xuewu stretched out his hand to him when he saw it, and he also reached out to greet him in a friendly way: "My name is Chen Xuewu, and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"My name is Liang Mengqiao." Middle-aged men also self-registered.

Li Chunhong had been sweating for Chen Xuewu, and then took the opportunity to speak: "If you want to have a good chat, can you change places?" ”

Chen Xuewu immediately chimed in: "My girlfriend is right. If we stand in this dangerous area, if we are watching the scenery, we can get carried away, but if we talk about life, this place is too embarrassing. ”

Liang Mengqiao smiled indifferently: "When you two sing and harmonize, don't you just persuade me to leave the dangerous place?" Actually, you are wrong, although I am in a bad mood, I don't want to kill myself. ”

Chen Xuewu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly covered up: "You are a great painter and a successful person who is respected by the society, of course you can't think about it." I just feel that it is a fate to meet you in this wonderful place, so I want to make friends with you. ”

Liang Mengqiao was a little disapproving: "Don't justify yourself." I've been standing here for over an hour, and if I were looking for a short view, I would have jumped off. Do you know why there are no other tourists here? Because they're all scared away by me. For example, a young couple who passed by just now, the girl saw me standing in such a dangerous place, and she exclaimed in surprise and dragged her boyfriend away. ”

Chen Xuewu glanced back at Li Chunhong, and then teased: "You are standing here, you can't do it to conduct a poll, right?" ”

"What kind of poll?"

"Just observe how the public reacts when they see you becoming suicidal?"

Liang Mengqiao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't have that kind of leisure, but I do have a little trouble, so I want to think quietly like this." ”

Chen Xuewu couldn't help asking: "Then since you have been thinking about it for more than an hour, do you need to find a friend to share this kind of trouble?" ”

Liang Mengqiao was stunned: "Why should I leak my privacy?" ”

Chen Xuewu showed a friendly smile: "You have been thinking like this for more than an hour, since you are still standing here, you will definitely not be able to sort out this matter." Since you can't figure it out, maybe a bystander will guide you. ”

Liang Mengqiao's face immediately darkened, hesitated for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Since you are so enthusiastic, then I am not afraid of the "family ugliness". ”

When Chen Xuewu heard that the other party was because of the privacy of his family, he couldn't help but glance at Li Chunhong in confusion.

Li Chunhong suggested with interest: "In that case. Then let's talk from another place. ”

At a pavilion at the top of the peak, Chen Xuewu and Li Chunhong sat on two adjacent wooden benches with Liang Mengqiao.

Liang Mengqiao slowly told his story with a heavy heart: "When I was young, I graduated from an art college and came to Beijing to develop. My wife is my colleague and a good painter. We worked very well together in our careers, and we got married. However, after three years like this, my wife never conceived a child. We went to the hospital for a check-up. I had just finished my check-up when I was called away by a phone call from a customer. She stayed and waited for the results. When we met up at the rental house in the evening, she told me that there was nothing wrong with me, but that she had a problem. However, she also said that her problem is not serious, and as long as she does a simple treatment, she can have children. I believed it and urged her to heal herself. Because I was very busy with my work, I couldn't accompany her for therapy, but she didn't let me do it at all. However, as she said, after more than a year, she finally conceived a child. Of course I'm excited. She later gave birth to a very well-behaved daughter. Our family of three had a really happy life. Later, I became a little famous and was hired as a professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and my career reached its peak. However, three years ago, my wife suddenly fell ill and died. I took care of her funeral with a heavy heart, and I relied on my daughter for my life. My daughter has grown up and is very sensible, and she was worried that I would be lonely, so she persuaded me to continue the string. I lived up to my daughter's filial piety, and later became friends with one of my students, who, although she was twenty years younger than me, admired my talent and fell in love with her beauty. For my sake, she broke up with a male classmate who had been friends for many years, and left the child she gave birth to. After she graduated, we were officially together. She likes children very much and insists on having one. This time coincided with the promulgation of the country's two-child policy. Naturally, I wanted to fulfill her wish to be a mother again. However, after more than half a year together, her stomach also did not move. She was a little anxious and was going to take me to the hospital for a check-up. I told her that I was sure I was okay because I had already had this checked when I gave birth to my first daughter. She said that she was fine, after all, she had also given birth to a child, so she dragged me to the hospital and had a check-up. Unexpectedly, the hospital confirmed that I was congenitally infertile..."

When Chen Xuewu heard this, he suddenly thought of Cheng Suzhi's husband Lin Yifan, and couldn't help but be moved.

Liang Mengqiao showed a sad expression at this time: "I was stupid at that time. If this is the case for me, why did my deceased wife lie to me at that time? And whose seed did she give birth to? Just when I was troubled by this distress, my new daughter-in-law actually broke up with me because I couldn't have children. Her idea is very realistic, for our couples who have forgotten their love, if they do not have an emotional bond with each other, it is impossible to reach the end of life. As a result, she got back together with that male classmate. I couldn't bear a series of blows, so I came here, and I wanted to let myself accidentally stumble, so I was completely freed. ”

Chen Xuewu asked at this time: "You are an enlightened artist, are you depressed just because of the failure of a marriage?" ”

Liang Mengqiao smiled bitterly: "Is it not just the failure of this marriage? I actually have a deeper affection for my deceased wife. However, she actually deceived me for so many years, and had a child with another man, but I was so stupid that I kept treating this child as my own daughter, and it was until eighteen years. Not only was I cuckolded, but I also raised their daughter for 18 years. Am I feeling better? ”

Li Chunhong showed a sympathetic gaze: "Does that girl know her background?" ”

Liang Mengqiao shook his head: "When her mother left, she didn't reveal this mystery at all, she just told her daughter to honor me well." Alas, if I didn't want a second child, I'm afraid I would have been deceived by this big lie for the rest of my life. ”

When Chen Xuewu heard this, he couldn't help but moisten his eyes and said, "Teacher Liang, you are really a fan of the authorities." Don't you realize that this lie is the love of your deceased wife? ”

Liang Mengqiao looked extremely surprised and said, "What kind of logic are you?" Could it be that she gave me such a big green hat, is it her love for me? ”

Chen Xuewu frowned: "Please stop insulting your deceased wife." Why do you say she gave you a cuckold? ”

Liang Mengqiao glanced at him coldly: "It seems that Mr. Chen's thinking doesn't look like a writer's thinking, if she doesn't cuckold me, then where did the seeds in her stomach come from?" I'm born infertile. “

Chen Xuewu sighed very sadly: "You are really a fan of the authorities." Who said she didn't have to be in an affair with a man when she was pregnant? ”

Li Chunhong's eyes lit up: "Maybe she conceived a child by artificial insemination?" ”

Liang Mengqiao was stunned: "Artificial insemination? ”

Chen Xuewu nodded again and again: "Yes, this only needs the hospital to provide suitable sperm, so there is no need to have sex @ with the sperm provider." I think your deceased wife must have conceived a child through such channels. ”

Liang Mengqiao was puzzled: "In that case, why did she hide it from me in the first place?" ”

Chen Xuewu suddenly said emotionally: "Because she loves you and cares about your feelings very much, she wants to carry out this lie to the end." ”

"Why do you say that?"

Not only did Liang Mengqiao question incomprehensibly, but even Li Chunhong also showed a surprised look. (To be continued.) )
