With a couple, such an occasion made Lin Dong and Chen Meiyu feel a little embarrassed.

Chen Meiyu smiled: "Mr. Lin, it seems that I shouldn't have proposed to come here." ”

Lin Dong smiled: "I'm nothing, Mr. Chen, I'm afraid some little girls are going to be angry with you." ”

Chen Meiyu frowned, looking very incomprehensible.

Lin Dong whispered in her ear: "Mr. Chen, have you seen it?" A couple of boys in front of you just looked back at you. You stole the limelight from the girl's house, can they not blame you? ”

"Poor mouth!" Chen Meiyu said angrily, "You just make it up, I'm in my thirties, how can I compare with them." I saw a girl looking back at you. ”

Queuing up to get on the painting boat, Lin Dong and Chen Meiyu sat on the same bench, Chen Meiyu leaned against the window.

The captain of the boat walked into the cabin, and the hearty laughter attracted the attention of everyone in the cabin, "Everyone is welcome to come to my boat, and then I will talk about the precautions, when the ship arrives, please do not leave the cabin, and try not to stick your head out of the window." Later, we will go around the waterway along the great poet Zhang Ji to the west, and then return to the pier where we departed. If you need a snack, a drink, and a commemorative poker, raise your hand, I've got it all here. Finally, I wish you all a pleasant sightseeing. ”

After a while, a tall and thin girl walked into the cabin with a pipa in her arms, nodded hello to the captain of the ship, and sat down on a stool on the side.

The boat boss started the boat, the speed of the painting boat was not fast, and it was slowly in the center of the river, and the girl was playing the pipa on the side, one by one the notes were drawn from her fingertips, chanting and singing, although it was Wu Nong's soft language that Lin Dong couldn't understand, but the artistic conception was quite gentle and lingering. It's very apt to the scene inside the cabin.

Chen Meiyu turned her head to look out the window, in order to facilitate the night viewing, lights were installed on both sides of the river, although it was not as real as what she could see during the day, but fortunately, she could still see it clearly.

Lin Dong inadvertently glanced at it, saw the lonely look on Chen Meiyu's face, and speculated in his heart. She is beautiful, and she is so rich. What bothered her so lonely?

It will always be difficult for men to understand the thoughts of the girl's family, in Lin Dong's eyes, Chen Meiyu is undoubtedly an all-round strong woman, who is in charge, has excellent ability, has wealth and appearance, and lacks almost nothing. And Chen Meiyu saw so many young men and women in pairs. Thinking of his current situation, I can't help but feel sad, and I don't know if I can find true love in this life.

When she was young, there was a boy who loved her deeply, and at that time she just wanted to climb up, and after many efforts failed, she finally understood that this world belongs to men, and if she wants to snatch a piece of heaven from men, she can only sacrifice a woman's lore weapon, which is her beauty.

Afterward. She resolutely broke up with her boyfriend who had reached the point of talking about marriage, in order not to hurt him in the future, she cut off the love thread, embarked on a road of no return, and began to maneuver among all kinds of men. More and more rich and powerful men fell in front of her and became puppets in her hands.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed. The original dream seems to have been achieved, and she has a big villa. There are more than a dozen expensive apartments, and she still has her own property in her hands, but the money seems to be endless, and her heart is always not satisfied, she doesn't know when she will be able to stop, when she will have time to solve a problem called "love".

A few years later, when the little girl who had just entered the world looked back on the past ten years, she finally found a problem, not that the more money, the happier people are, and she seems to have been kidnapped by money, and she wants to stop but can't stop, so she can only run forward indomitably until she dies of exhaustion and falls on the road of chasing money.

…,

I don't know how long it took, the painting boat circled around and returned to the departure dock, the young men and women began to rush to the exit, Chen Meiyu was still stunned to look out the window, in fact, she didn't see anything in her eyes, her mind had reached another dimensional space, and she had no intention of enjoying the night scene.

Until the young men and women were gone, Lin Dong saw that Chen Meiyu was still sitting there motionless, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Mr. Chen, the boat has landed." ”

Chen Meiyu still did not react.

Lin Dong pushed her, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen......"

Chen Meiyu felt it, suddenly came back to her senses, and looked at Lin Dong, "Oh, the boat has arrived, let's get off the boat quickly." ”

Lin Dong smiled. The two left the painting boat, and another group of people lined up at the ferry, waiting to take the painting boat for sightseeing.

Not far away is the Fengqiao, there is a bronze statue of Zhang Ji next to the Fengqiao, the bronze statue has a wide robe and wide sleeves, wears a black gauze hat, and puts both hands on both sides at will. Under the light, one of the fingers of the bronze statue Zhang Ji shone brightly, very bright.

Chen Meiyu said: "Zhang Ji's talent is the best in the world, many people come here to travel, in order to contaminate his literary atmosphere, they will go to his finger to touch it, and over time, that finger is particularly bright." ”

Lin Dong understood, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I don't want to write an article, otherwise I'll touch it." ”

Chen Meiyu smiled: "Do you see, that finger is shining gold, you might as well touch it, maybe it can protect your wealth." ”

Lin Dong smiled: "That's what I said, then I'll touch it." After speaking, he walked quickly to the front of the bronze statue and reached out to touch Zhang Ji's "golden finger".

Chen Meiyu was amused by him, "You really believe it." The sound of the water under the Fengqiao is surging, the night wind is blowing violently, the two of them stand on the bridge, standing against the wind, Chen Meiyu's hair is fluttering in the wind, Lin Dong stands beside her, bursts of hair incense into the nostrils, very good.

The two were silent for a long time, and Lin Dong opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Chen, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Chen Meiyu smiled: "You have something to do with me." ”

Lin Dong nodded, "I'm not in a hurry, if I can, I'd like to hear your thoughts." ”

Chen Meiyu looked at his face, a little surprised, on such a night, a man inquired about her thoughts, it was not trivial, isn't it...... The rhythm of Chen Meiyu's heartbeat suddenly became very chaotic and fast.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Dong said with a smile: "You said at the Fengqiao Inn in the evening, saying that I am a friend you can make friends with, since this is the case, why don't you tell me what is on your mind." You must know that it is always bad to be bored in your heart. ”

Chen Meiyu was stunned, "Did I say that you are my best friend, why don't I remember?" ”

Lin Dong scratched his head and said with a smile: "Could it be that I misunderstood?" You said you would only take your friends to eat at the Fengqiao Inn, but if I wasn't, why did you take me there to eat? ”

Chen Meiyu sighed: "Mr. Lin, you are good at math." I learned to use the same amount of substitution. ”

"Hehe, I'm a science graduate. This reasoning is not too difficult for me. Lin Dong said with a smile.

The two teased each other, sweeping away the momentary awkward atmosphere just now.

Chen Meiyu exhaled a long breath and said, "Mr. Lin, do you really want to hear my thoughts?" ”

Lin Dong nodded, "Mr. Chen, you regard me as a friend, I just hope to give you some comfort as a friend." I can see that you have something on your mind, say it, even if I can't enlighten you, it's better than holding it in your heart. ”

Chen Meiyu said: "I hope that only you know what I am about to say." ”

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Lin Dongdao.

Chen Meiyu brewed her emotions for a while, "Actually, I really don't know where to start, ten years ago, I had no money, my father died of illness when I was in elementary school, and I grew up with my mother's hard work." I still remember my mother so that I could pay my tuition in time. I sold all the food in the family, but it was still not enough. One night, when I woke up, I found that my mother was not in bed, so I got out of bed to look for it, and when I opened the door a little, I saw the vicious village chief pressing on my naked mother.

…,

At that moment I really wanted to rush out and unload the village chief, but I was a teenager and knew what to do if I did. My mother will never be able to hold her head up in front of me again. My mother's money in exchange for my body has been supporting me through high school, but I am not the material for studying, although I study hard. But he didn't get into college. I grew up in such an environment, so I know better than anyone else the sorrow of a poor family.

I don't want to suffer from poverty anymore. Vow to become a rich person through your own efforts. After stumbling in this society, I realized how difficult it is for a girl with no background to get ahead. For many years, I didn't understand why my mother wanted the village chief to bully her like that and not resist, until later, no matter how hard I tried, I was able to understand my mother and began to think that she was a great mother.

Later, I became a woman who depended on men in the eyes of others, I began to afford good clothes, I began to learn from rich people to go to high-end restaurants, and I began to learn English. There has been no shortage of insults and accusations behind my back, I pretended not to hear, I still circled between men, and some women even said that I was playing with men to break up other people's families, I resisted the pressure, I knew that I was not that kind of woman, I knew that one day I would let them see that I was more powerful than men!

Now, I have money, I don't seem to lack anything, and there are more and more men who are currying favor with me. But my heart is always empty, and no amount of money can fill my empty heart. Seeing that women of the same age have husbands and children, and the family of three is happy, I disdain it on the surface, but I am extremely envious in my heart.

In the past two or three years, my longing for family has become stronger and stronger, but the men around me are all hypocritical to me, and I can no longer find a man who truly loves me. I don't dare to ask for true love, and occasionally when I meet a good man, I think they are coming for my money. On the one hand, I am longing, on the other hand, I am afraid, Lin Dong, do you think my psychology is very contradictory? ”

Lin Dong was undoubtedly a good listener, and he had been listening carefully, waiting for Chen Meiyu to finish what she wanted to say in one breath.

After pondering for a long time, Lin Dong said: "Mr. Chen, I never knew that you still had so many unfortunate experiences, after listening to it, I couldn't help but feel sympathy and pity, not only for you, but also for myself." In fact, like you, I also had a hard life, at that time, I was only thinking about how to become rich, until now I finally have some money, but I found that I lost myself in the process of chasing money, and I didn't know what was most important to me. Money kidnapped me and carried me on and on, and the road seemed to have no end in sight. When we worked hard for our ideals, and when our ideals were realized, we found that the ideals that we had paid a lot for were not what we wanted, and they did not bring us the happiness I expected. ”

Chen Meiyu said: "Yes, I am not happy now, the more unhappy I am, the more I want to keep myself busy, because then I will not have the time and energy to feel lonely." Lin Dong, what is the point of our group of people working so hard to make money? ”

"It doesn't make much sense, it's just that we can't find a place to affirm ourselves, so we can only live in a cycle day after day. Fear of loneliness, fear of loss, seems to have become a common problem for our group. Lin Dong laughed self-deprecatingly, "If a year ago, I would not be afraid to let me go to the construction site to work, but if I am asked to go to the construction site to move bricks now, I am afraid that I will become a deserter if I can't support it for even a week." ”

Chen Meiyu smiled: "I don't think you can enlighten me, but it's really like you said, you will be much happier when you say it." Alas, you really can't have too many things in your heart, otherwise something will go wrong sooner or later. ”

Chen Meiyu hugged her arms in front of her chest, the wind was strong on the bridge, she shrunk her neck, and she looked very cold. Lin Dong took off his windbreaker and draped it on her, Chen Meiyu felt the temperature on her clothes, and looked at Lin Dong distractedly, ten years ago, there was also a man who would take off his clothes for him to wear without hesitation when she felt cold. Ten years have passed, and she can't remember the appearance of that man anymore, and in a trance she feels that it is the appearance of the man in front of her.

"It's windy on the bridge, let's go."

Lin Dong said, he thought that Chen Meiyu would not necessarily wear his clothes, but judging from the results, he thought it was wrong, it seems that a woman's mind is really difficult to guess.

The two got off the bridge, and Chen Meiyu was silent all the way. Returning to the parking place in front of Fuguifang, Chen Meiyu returned the clothes to Lin Dong.

"Mr. Lin, thank you."

Lin Dong smiled, "Mr. Chen, you are polite." It is a gentleman's job to undress a woman, and I have to learn to be a gentleman. ”

"Oh, so if it wasn't me standing next to you tonight, it was another woman, you'd do the same?" Chen Meiyu asked with a smile, she was desperate to get a negative answer.

Lin Dong said: "Just on the matter, how can I be sure of what didn't happen, besides, there must be a girl next to me who is worthy of me." Ugly, I wouldn't do that. (To be continued)
