"Because that's what I live on," Jenny looked at Hibiscus and explained with a smile: "You may not know how difficult it is for people to study abroad in the United States, nor how difficult it is to get a green card in the United States, and of course, how poor I am as a native American,"

Jenny paused at this point, and then smiled wryly: "Not all Americans are rich, for example, like me, my parents divorced, leaving me and my two sisters and a younger brother to live, in order to raise my sister and younger brother, I had to start selling my marriage at the age of 18, and I can get a green card by marrying me, but I must provide a sum of money to me, and I must also support my younger siblings until I get a green card." Waves"

"Our so-called husband and wife relationship, that is, the nominal husband and wife, the man can not fulfill the obligations between husband and wife, but the family responsibilities in life cannot be shirked, and I must take care of my family life."

"Of course, Mu is very good, although we have hardly seen each other again after applying for the marriage certificate, but every month he will transfer the living expenses to me on time according to the original agreement, unlike some of my previous husbands, who always asked me to call/call to urge him to give."

"We met three times, the first time was when the intermediary introduced and negotiated, the second time was when the two parties signed an agreement to apply for a marriage certificate, and this time was the third time, we went to apply for a divorce certificate, and then, Mu asked me to come and see you, and he gave me all the repayment. Wheel"

Jenny's personality is very straightforward, she said that although she sold her marriage to make money and helped foreigners get green cards in the United States, she never looked down on these people, but she thought they were all smart, not to mention that there was nothing wrong with taking shortcuts.

When Jenny left, Mu Hibiscus and Mu Feng sent her to the airport together, and Jenny took Mu Hibiscus's hand and whispered: "Mu is a rare good man, you have to cherish it." ”

She wants to cherish? Mu Hibiscus only felt that Jenny's words were a little funny, she thought that Jenny didn't know Mu Feng, otherwise, she wouldn't have said such things to her.

However, having said that, Jenny and Mu Feng have only met three times in total, and they met either to get a marriage certificate or a divorce certificate, and they have never talked to anything else, so how can they know Mu Feng?

What's more, she and Mu Feng have known each other for more than a year, isn't this, they only learned about it two months ago?

"Actually, you don't need to call Jenny to England to tell me this," On the way back, Mu Hibiscus said to Mu Feng with a smile: "It's not easy to study abroad, I also saw it in some magazine reports when I was studying in China, wouldn't it be better if you told me yourself?" ”

"I'm afraid you think I'm making it up," Mu Feng looked at her and said softly: "I remember telling you that my life is a high-rise building under construction, and I don't allow a single centimeter of error, so I always count every step of my life, and in order to get a green card in the United States, I even counted my own marriage." ”

"Everyone has their own way of life, and you haven't done anything wrong," Hibiscus looked at him sideways and said sincerely, "As Jenny said, only smart people think of taking shortcuts, and ordinary fools probably can't think of this." ”

Mu Feng's face stiffened slightly, then he took her hand, and said in a deep voice: "However, this time, I don't plan to take a shortcut, so, An, if you don't think I'm abrupt, I hope that from today onwards, I can pursue you as a single man." ”

Hibiscus was immediately startled, and when she saw the sincerity in his eyes, she instinctively retracted her hand back, trying to break free from his control.

But Mu Feng didn't give her such a chance, he grabbed her hand and said in a low voice: "I haven't shown my heart to you before, and I haven't clearly pursued you before, mainly because you are a married person when you were in Bincheng, my morality does not allow me to do that, and when you return to singleness, my marriage has not been dissolved, even if my marriage is just an empty shell, but I know that it means that I am a married person, if I come to pursue you at that time, it is a blasphemy against you."

"Actually, I didn't mean to look down on you," Mu Hibiscus hurriedly snatched Mu Feng's words, and then quickly said: "To be honest, for you and Miao, I have never looked at you with colored glasses, on the contrary, I admire you very much and respect you, in fact, it is not easy to reach your realm, you can attack and accept."

Mu Hibiscus never said anything more at this point, no, there was no chance to say it again, because Mu Feng's mouth blocked her chattering mouth without hesitation, and did not give her a chance to continue to ramble at all.

"Hmm" Mu Hibiscus snorted, and immediately dropped her teeth as fast as she could, she didn't know what Lu Dao was for, she almost instinctively disgusted Mu Feng's intimate contact.

"An," Mu Feng was obviously very dissatisfied with her resistance, and had to withdraw his mouth from her mouth, and explained in a low voice: "I don't know what you heard at the door that day, but I just want to tell you that it's not what you heard, Miao is a little crazy, but I'm not the same person as him."

"I'm not interested in you and his story," Mu Hibiscus quickly snapped Mu Feng's words, and then said with a little irritability, "I want to go back to school." ”

"Then I'll send you back," Mu Feng didn't mention Miao anymore, since Mu Hibiscus didn't want to listen, and between him and Miao, it was not clear in a few words, so I would explain it to her slowly in the future.

On the way back, neither of them spoke again, there were a lot of people in the subway, it was crowded, there were no seats, Mu Feng carefully circled a space for her with his arms, I just hoped that she could be more comfortable, even if she was standing, don't crowd anyone.

Mu Feng kept sending Mu Hibiscus to the door of ImperialCollege London, and when they parted, he said to Mu Hibiscus: "Ann, let's take our time, I know that you need to digest it, and I also need some time to deal with the problems between Miao, but I believe that as Professor Yuzu said, the two of us are very suitable for being together." ”

Mu Hibiscus had a sour nose when she heard this, and she only felt uncomfortable, Shi Yan had said similar things to her at the beginning, "I think the two of us are suitable to form a family, that is, to get married!" ”

Stone Rock! Her heart twitched violently again, she had been in London for half a year, and it seemed that she had never thought of him.

And today, when Mu Feng told her that it was suitable, she actually thought of him inexplicably.

She felt a headache again, and the moment she looked up, Mu Feng had already walked away, and he didn't know if he had blended into the crowded street, or if he had already gotten on the bus in front.

Mu Hibiscus thought that she would not meet Tang Miao again, because the relationship between her and him ended with her illness, and even the most basic friends could not be any longer.

And Mu Feng seems to have been very attentive to her since he told her last time to take his time, not to mention that he will come to her every once in a while, but he will definitely come to her on Saturdays.

Alan said, don't learn from my cousin, love is so illusory that it is only suitable for seven or eight year old girls, once you are over twenty-five years old, you will know that in addition to life, in fact, love is not a fart.

Mu Hibiscus was silent when she heard this, but she agreed with it very much in her heart, she thought that the so-called love in her life was probably the relationship with Fang Yichen before she got married, right?

But is that love?

She was actually often confused, because she always felt that there was something missing from the initial relationship between her and Fang Yichen.

But what's missing? But she couldn't speak.

Allen said that time can always consume our feelings, and when we look back at the love of fifteen when we are thirty years old, we feel ridiculously naïve, and even wonder if that person is ourselves?

Therefore, life is so realistic, when a woman is over twenty-five years old looking for a boyfriend, she will consider some things very practically, such as the income of both parties, whether they can buy a house, the two of them will live together in the future, and the cultivation and education of children in the later stage, etc., instead of doing nothing for the sake of the man she loves like my cousin Yimei!

It's not that we don't believe in love, it's just that we're dead to love!

When Alan said this, Hibiscus was flipping through a thick book on ancient architecture given to her by the strange professor, and this book was actually studying ancient Chinese palace structures.

The second senior brother Bai Muhan said to her when he invited her to dinner: "Brother Rui told me about your situation in Bincheng, of course, the master has just died for a year, and it is not possible to marry according to the customs of our side, but if there is a suitable one now, in fact, you can still think about it in advance, come and go first, and when the three years are up, you can get married." ”

Senior Brother Bai's words were extremely vague, but Mu Hibiscus still heard it, meaning that she should not miss Mu Feng.

In April, the Qingming Festival in China is a day for the deceased elders to go to the grave to worship.

And Mu Hibiscus went to Scotland with Mu Feng at this time, because it was Easter and there was a holiday of more than three weeks, which was suitable for tourism at this time.

It's also April, and I don't know if Scotland also perceives the atmosphere of the Chinese Qingming Festival, and it actually rains lightly.

Mu Feng also went to Scotland for the first time, he said that he had been to London before, but he always missed Scotland, this time he finally had the opportunity and had a companion, so-

Just in time for you!

Hibiscus and Mu Feng spent nearly a week in Scotland, making a lot of money in Scotland, and then visited the Royal Palace of Edinburgh and visited the place where the queen and king lived.

And this week, it was raining in Scotland, and the two of them brought umbrellas when they traveled, because Hibiscus wanted to take pictures, so Mu Feng bought an extra-large umbrella, and when the two of them went out, he was holding an umbrella for her.

In the rain, he said, "Let me hold up a piece of sky for you, so that your world will always be windless and rainless!" ”

In front of the castle, he said softly: "I can't afford the castle, but I can do it in a small building with a single courtyard, if you don't dislike it, I will design you the only house in the world, and build it with stone slabs and mud tiles in the southwest!" ”

He was always very gentlemanly, always more thoughtful than her, especially during travels, when she occasionally forgot something for a beautiful scenery, and he always helped her remember.

Allen said that after the age of twenty-five, love is a fart, and finding a man who suits you is far more important than love is a hundred times more important, but the premise is that it is suitable!

She didn't know if Mu Feng was suitable for her, or if she was suitable for Mu Feng, so when Mu Feng told her this, she was a little scared.

So, when he said something similar again, she couldn't help but remind him: "Mu Feng, I am a woman who has been divorced twice."

"I'm a man who divorced once," he quickly snapped her words, then smiled and said, "Can you tell me the difference between two divorces and one divorce?" ”

“”

When Tang Miao came to her, she had just returned from Scotland and was looking at her photos with Alan in Scotland, and Alan was telling the story of Mary, Queen of Scots, whom she knew.

Mary didn't come to her senses until she died, and before she died, she said, "She was afraid of me, and she hated me." She hates me because I'm pretty, and she's not; It's because I have three husbands, and she's never married; I have a son, and she has no children; And also because of many people"

That's when the doorbell rang, interrupting what Alan was foaming at.

Hibiscus froze slightly, glanced at Allen, and saw that she didn't move, and finally she put down the album in her hand and walked over and opened the door.

It's just that what she never expected was that it was Tang Miao, who looked extremely demonic, standing at the door, and he was leaning on the door frame and looking at her at this time.

"Something?" She reacted quickly, looked at him with calm eyes, but jokingly asked, "Are you going to invite me to ice cream cake again?" ”

Tang Miao smiled, extremely bewitching, "Where can I invite you to eat ice cream cake every time, not to mention how expensive that cake is, I want to invite you to read a book this time." ”

"I have read a lot of books here," Mu Hibiscus refused lightly: "I can't read the books that the professor asked me to read, so I don't think I have time to read your books." ”

Tang Miao was still not angry, she still smiled very wickedly on her face, and said softly: "My book is not long, there are no words, it is similar to the comic book when I was a child, it doesn't delay you much, and it will only take about ten minutes to finish it." ”

"Oh, that's right," Mu Hibiscus nodded with a slight groan, "Nacheng, you give me the book, I'll give it back to you tomorrow." ”

"Don't give it back," Tang Miao handed over an extremely gorgeously packaged book to her as she spoke: "This book is for you, if you like it, take it, and throw it away if you don't like it." ”

Hibiscus nodded, took the book, and did not invite him to sit at the door, and he was also interested, and immediately turned away gracefully, as if he had not even been awakened by the wind.

Hibiscus closed the door and turned back, and Alan couldn't help but exclaim, "Although I have seen him many times, I have been amazed every time he has made me." ”

Hibiscus laughed, she couldn't help but think of the brother who jumped off the building in 03, his performance of "Farewell My Concubine" was as amazing, and she liked her brother's sentence the most, "I am me, it is a fireworks of different colors!" ”

Alan smiled and asked, "What book did Red Socks give you?" Can you lend me a look? ”

Mu Hibiscus shook his head, casually threw the book into the drawer of the bedside table, and said lightly: "I don't plan to read it myself, what are you reading?" Have you finished your paper? ”

In a word, Allen's smiling face became depressed, and he stopped gossiping with Hibiscus, quickly turned on his computer, and was worried about her paper again.

Mu Hibiscus didn't plan to read the book Tang Miao gave her at first, but people sometimes wonder, maybe when they were thinking about something, they actually couldn't sleep.

She got out of bed quietly in the dead of night, when Alan had already slept with a slight snoring sound, and she actually took out the book again.

She didn't dare to look in the dormitory, for fear that she would cry out if she saw something shocking, so she put on a coat and quietly went down the stairs to an old tree that she couldn't name.

She sat on the old wooden stool under the tree, holding the book in her hand, and tore open the beautiful wrapping paper on the outside with a half-bang, and then, with the courage to open the beautiful cover.

She had made all the mental preparations, fantasized about all kinds of monsters and strange images in this book, and even thought that it might be even more terrifying than the horror movies she had ever seen.

However, it turned out that so much of her mental preparation was not enough, because the picture she saw when she opened this cover was far more shocking than she expected

The so-called book is actually a magazine made of photos, and every page and every sheet is like the sharpest dagger, silently tearing apart the Mu Feng in her mind.

In the ambiguous room, on the white Persian carpet, Mu Feng pressed Miao under him, and both of them were not wearing an inch

On the wide bed, Mu Feng and Miao hugged each other and slept together, the two of them had their ears and temples grinding, and they were extremely intimate couples

Hibiscus sat there, holding the so-called book in both hands, and his whole body dropped to freezing point in an instant.

It was early summer at the end of April, but she suddenly felt like she was back in the middle of the night in early December.

Why, when you are holding a photo magazine in your hand, do you have the illusion of holding an ice cream cake that can't melt in the snowflakes on the street again?

It was also raining in Ben Thanh in April.

The rain has always been a unique scenery of the Qingming Festival, as if only the drizzle can express people's mood of melancholy and longing at this time.

Shiyan went to the Xishan Cemetery in the evening, it was late, the wind in Xishan was a little strong, and the drizzle did not stop.

He took a bouquet of white chrysanthemums in his hand, held up a black umbrella and walked halfway up the mountain, because the distance was a little far, and because the road was slippery because of the rain, he actually walked for nearly half an hour.

In the evening, the Xishan Cemetery is very quiet, but the flowers stacked in front of each tombstone silently indicate that it was once lively during the day.

He finally came to the tombstone on the mountainside, the so-called feng shui treasure land, in fact, it is far away from other cemeteries, just like the distance between the people who live in villas and the people who live in bungalows.

In front of An Zhengrong's tombstone, several bouquets of flowers have been piled up, obviously, before him, someone has already come to see An Zhengrong.

And the pile of rain-soaked ashes in front of the tombstone is estimated to be something like the dark coin that Shao Minzhi burned to An Zhengrong, and the burned sandalwood and candles are withering more and more in the wind and rain.

He put the bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone, squatted down again, looked at the photo on the tombstone, and whispered: "Dad, I came to see you, I know that I disappointed you, maybe, you don't want to see me." ”

He paused at this point, then stood up and said softly: "But, Dad, I still have to come to see you, because Amu is far away abroad and can't rush back, so you have the right to come to see you on her behalf." ”

With that, he stood for a moment, then walked back to the edge of the cliff beside him.

He remembered that Chenxi was pushed off the cliff by Shao Minzhi in this place, and it was Shao Minzhi's push that completely broke his already crumbling marriage with Mu Hibiscus.

Shao Minzhi pushed Lin Chenxi at that time, or his marriage to Mu Hibiscus?
