Text: Chapter VII
"Lingshan, don't faint!" Lingzhen sat on the edge of the bed, stared at Lingshan in a daze, surprised, and lowered her voice and said: "If you are acting on the spot, I don't care about you, anyway, it doesn't hurt to have an extra boyfriend, but if you are serious, I am against it, I am resolutely against it!" β
Ling Shan sat in the swivel chair in front of the desk, she subconsciously turned the chair, holding a nail clipper in her hand, and she had already cut ten fingers bare.
"Lingzhen," she said, "I tell you this, only because there are no secrets between our sisters, and besides, I thought that you were as young as I was, at least, not so conservative and ......stubborn as the minds of the elders."
"It's not a matter of conservatism and stubbornness!" Lingzhen interrupted her, sincerely, earnestly, and earnestly said: "Our parents are by no means conservative and stubborn kind of people, Mom and Dad are open-minded enough, they have never interfered with our friends, you remember when I graduated from high school, I fooled around with Ah Jiang and them, although my mother was anxious, she didn't stop it, and after the incident passed, Mom said that she hoped that we would have a good and bad distinction between right and wrong, and didn't want to detain us like prisoners." β
"Mom has been a prisoner." Ling Shan said, looking at Ling Zhen with a deep groan. "The story between you and Ajiang can't be compared to mine, can it? Ah Jiang is a little Taibao, Wei ......" "Wei Pengfei is not necessarily a gentleman!" Lingzhen burst out.
"Sister," Ling Shan frowned. "How do you say that?"
"I'm talking too much." Lingzhen said, groaning. "Ling Shan, think about it, how much do you know about him? How much do you know? β
"That's a lot." "A lot? It's all superficial, right? He has a good job, a lot of money, and a good economic environment, you know. What about behind the scenes? What is his character? Who are his parents? What disease did his wife die of? Don't you think this person is a bit mysterious? I ask you, how long has his wife been dead? β
"I don't know." "Don't know? How can you not know? β
"It was a cruel thing to mention his wife, and I think he can't forget his wife to this day." "Hah!" Lingzhen was even more excited. "It's cruel to him to mention his wife, but isn't it cruel to you if he doesn't mention his wife? Lingshan, don't be stupid, there is no woman in the world who can compete with the dead for favor! β
Ling Shan shuddered. "Mom often said that everyone has a kind of cheapness," Lingzhen looked at Lingshan tightly. "What is lost is often the best, and what is not gained is even more precious. Lingshan," she said, running her fingers around Lingshan's long hair. "You have to think clearly, I have no objection to you making friends with him, but don't let him take advantage of you, I have a gut feeling, he is very dangerous!" "He's definitely not the kind of person who wants to take advantage of girls," Ling Shan couldn't help but defend Wei Pengfei, her eyes misty, looking at the lamp on the table. "In fact, he has been evading my ......" "Retreat is advance, this person is strong!" Lingzhen interrupted her again.
"What's wrong with you? Sister? Ling Shan said angrily: "You always think from a bad place, don't you think you are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?" β
"He's not a gentleman!" "How so?" "If he's infatuated with his wife, he shouldn't tease you......"
"He's not teasing me!" "So, you're teasing him?"
"Sister!" Ling Shan's face flushed.
"Well, I won't attack him!" Lingzhen lay down, resting her head with her hands on her head, her eyes looking at the ceiling. "I was thinking that there was always something wrong with his story. When he came back from studying abroad, he found that his wife was dead, and his wife should still be cold, and he was already thinking about another girl. She turned her head, looked at Ling Shan, and said angrily: "I hate Zhu Ziqing the most!" β
"What does this have to do with Zhu Ziqing?" Ling Shan was surprised.
"Zhu Ziqing wrote an article to the deceased woman, commemorating the wife who had done her best for him and died, the whole text was full of words and was extremely moving......
"I know." Ling Shan said: "In the end, he said that he did not go to his wife's grave this year because his remarried wife was a little uncomfortable. β
"We've discussed, haven't we?" Lingzhen said: "Actually, you should remarry, and it doesn't matter if you change your mind, you just shouldn't write an article to the deceased woman." I hate hypocrisy! "You mean, Wei Pengfei is fake?"
"I don't criticize Wei Pengfei, so as not to affect the feelings of sisters!" Lingzhen said: "I only advise you to keep your eyes open and your mind clear, you are a fan of the authorities, and I am a bystander!" Let me tell you, that Wei Pengfei is not simple, definitely not simple! If you don't play on the spot, you should find out the ins and outs of him, love will make people blind! You're not like me, I've been messing around with Ajiang for a while, what about you? You haven't been vaccinated at all! Ling Shan glared at Ling Zhen, silently coming to her senses, she felt that Ling Zhen's words really made sense. Although it was a little harsh, it was heartfelt, and she bit her lip and pondered silently. When Lingzhen saw her face, she knew that her will had been shaken, she reached out and grabbed Lingshan's hand, and asked sincerely:
"Ling Shan, how far have you gotten with him?"
Ling Shan shook her head in distraction. "It's not about β anything remarkable β to the degree."
"That's good, keep your distance from men to be safe."
"You think he's poisonous."
"Unreliable." Lingzhen patted her on the knee. "To be honest, although that Shao Zhuosheng is a little stupid, he is a very good person. I've been dating you for two or three years, why don't you like him? "He's an insulator." "What insulator?" "No electricity." Lingzhen smiled. "It doesn't matter if you don't have electricity, it's better than being electrocuted! No electricity is great, no light and no heat, but electric shock is life-threatening! β
"I'd rather be electrocuted, I can't stand a life without light and heat!"
"Don't let illusions get carried away!" Lingzhen said, rolling her eyes thoughtfully. "Lingshan, it's almost Christmas, this doesn't affect our original plan, right? If you don't spend Christmas with us, I'll never forgive you! Lisong has already booked a seat in the center, you and Shao Zhuosheng, me and Lisong, the same as last year, we should have a great time! "Are you doing everything possible to pull me and Shao Zhuosheng together?" Ling Shan asked: "I remember, you once criticized Shao Zhuosheng for opening his mouth on the wooden characters, and it was written as a 'stupid' word!" "He's been improving a lot lately!" Lingzhen hurriedly said: "Last time, I bought a set of records for my little brother, Zhang Zhang is what my little brother likes to listen to!" β
"Little brother, don't you like to listen to records?"
"Why not? He went to sleep as soon as he heard the symphony. β
"When did you become a pro-Shao faction?"
"Tonight starts!" Ling Shan glared at Ling Zhen and sighed.
"Lingzhen, is Wei Pengfei so terrifying?"
"I don't know." Lingzhen frowned in confusion. "I just don't think it's right, heβand his grumpy daughter, it's not right anyway. Lingshan, listen to me, I don't want you to break up with him, as long as you keep your distance from him......"
"Okay," Ling Shan gritted her teeth, "I'll listen to you!" β
"So, what do you say about Christmas?"
"What do you say? Listen to you too! β
Lingzhen breathed a sigh of relief and stroked the back of Lingshan's hand with a smile.
"This is a good sister!"
Ling Shan glanced at Ling Zhen. "Don't tell Mom and Dad." She said.
"Of course," Lingzhen said, "this is a secret between our sisters, and, what do you say it does?" I guess in three months, this matter will be a thing of the past for you, just like what happened to Ah Jiang and me at the beginning. β
Ling Shan dropped the nail clippers in her hand, stood up, walked to the bed, and lay down on the bed, she also pillowed her head with her hands. Looking at the ceiling, he said in a low voice: "That's not like." "That being said, it would be almost impossible for Ling Shan not to be affected by Ling Zhen's words. Since childhood, there has been an innate intimacy and understanding between Lingshan and Lingzhen, and Lingshan not only loves this sister, but also respects her. I was also quite convinced of what she said. Therefore, Lingzhen's criticism of Wei Pengfei was quickly planted deep in Lingshan's heart, making her distressed, making her uneasy, and making her full of contradictions and doubts. It was a Saturday afternoon, and Ling Shan was staying at Wei's house again. Wei Pengfei has been going home almost every day after work recently, he has refused those unnecessary entertainment, quit the habit of going to the restaurant, and even he rarely drinks a glass of wine at home. He said to Ling Shan, "Let me live again for you!" You won't like a drunken lover, I want to quit drinking, I'm going to be sober forever - come and appreciate your goodness! β
Lovers' sentences are always sweet, always warm, and always intoxicating. Ling Shan listened to these words in a kind of contradictory pain, but asked herself repeatedly in her heart: "Is he dangerous?" Is he mysterious? Is he inappropriate? β
In the afternoon of this day, because it was Saturday, Ling Shan did not have a class. Wei Pengfei's factory was working overtime, he didn't come back, he only talked to Lingshan on the phone:
"Don't leave my house, I'll be back before six o'clock, please have dinner!" "It's the weekend," she said, "how do you know I don't have another date?" Sure to be able to have dinner with you? He was silent for a moment and said, "I don't care if you have a date or not, I'll be back before six o'clock anyway, wait for me or not, it's up to you!" If you don't wait for me ......"
"How?" She asked. "I won't eat dinner!" And he said in a sala, and his tone was like a chu.
He hung up, and she sat there and was stunned for a moment. He was a powerful character, and he knew how to penetrate her weakest part. Sighing, she looked at Chu Chu, Chu Chu was doing her homework, this child was the same as her father, she had changed a lot, although, occasionally she would still throw a tantrum by yelling, but, most of the time, she was well-behaved and obedient, especially in front of Ling Shan.
"Auntie, my pencil is broken!" Chu Chu said.
"Where's the pencil sharpener?" Ling Shan opened her pencil case and couldn't find the knife.
"No, no!" "You always lose things! What about Ah Xiang? Go and ask Ah Xiang to find a pencil sharpener! Go! β
"Ah Xiang buys bread and goes!" "Oh." She stood up, trying to find a pencil sharpener.
"Daddy's study." Ling Shan walked into Wei Pengfei's study, she had hardly been to this room, the house was not big, there was a large desk by the window, on the table there was a pen holder, a note, a ruler, and a stapler...... There was a row of bookshelves against the wall, most of which were forging-related reference books, and she glanced at them curiously, and there were actually a lot of literary books, all of them; There are Gide's complete works, there are Turgenev's, there are Hemmingway and Remarque's. She walked to the desk, found the pencil sharpener in the pen holder, and was about to exit the study, when Lingzhen's words suddenly sounded in her head:
"How much do you know about him? How many do you know? β
She returned to the desk, with a sense of guilt, she gently opened the drawer in the middle of the desk, which was littered with charts, business cards, paperclips, triangular rulers, instrument boxes and other miscellaneous items, she flipped through them, and there was nothing to attract attention. She opened the drawer next to the desk, there was a row of four drawers, the first drawer was full of all kinds of "wrench designs", what "movable wrench", "water pipe wrench", "hybrid wrench...... She was dazzled by it. She opened the second drawer, it was all "sleeve design", she was bored, and then opened the third drawer, it was actually "pliers design"! She closed the drawer and thought to herself, there is nothing difficult about this Wei Pengfei to understand, he is just a high-level "blacksmith", specializing in making all kinds of iron! Thinking about it, she couldn't help but smile.
Turning around, she was ready to go out, but, subconsciously, she turned her head again, opened the last drawer, and at a glance saw that there was not a single illustration, but a drawer of letters and notebooks. She was stunned, she really found what she was looking for, but she didn't have the courage to look through it. Standing there, she hesitated for about ten seconds, and finally, she reached out and flipped through the envelope, thinking, I only need to look at the envelope, this look, only to know that it is Wei Pengfei's family letter, it seems that it was written by his parents, and the cover is written "Kaohsiung Wei Ji". Unable to suppress the curiosity in her heart, she took one casually, took out the letterhead, and wrote with a beautiful brush in one hand:
"Peng Fei Wu'er:
After receiving the letter from my son on the 18th, I am very relieved to know that everything is going well and the work is good. Chu Sun is stubborn, and he still needs to be strictly disciplined, don't let him lose his mother, and neglect to teach......"
Ling Shan hurriedly looked at it, there was nothing wrong with it, the father was quite kind and reasonable. She put the envelope back in the envelope and returned it to its place, feeling calm and relieved. Smoothly, she flipped through the stack of notebooks again, and suddenly, there was a booklet tied with a ribbon, which attracted her attention, she picked up the booklet, and on the cover, it was Peng Fei's handwriting, writing:
"Aitong Miscellaneous"
Aitong? Is this his wife's name? Is it her diary? Miscellanies? Why is the cover actually Wei Pengfei's handwriting? She couldn't help herself, she sat down at her desk, and when she opened the first page, she saw a few lines of inscription:
"When Huang Ju bloomed, the wounds gathered and scattered, and before the flowers, he said that he had a deep wish, and he had not seen Jin Ying again, and he was lovesick all night. Luo with one heart and one heart to knit it, with easy to become a pair, people hate to become a pair of late, if you want to write a pink paper book, don't complain, the tears have already been full! β
She looked at these lines in a daze, like the cover, this is Peng Fei's handwriting, presumably, when he wrote these lines, his heart must be dripping blood? "If you want to write a pink paper book, don't complain, the tears have already been full!" So, this is what he asked after she died? She felt a sour and astringent emotion pass through her heart, what? I was jealous of a dead man. She remembered Lingzhen's words:
"There is no woman in the world who can compete with the dead for favor!"
She gasped and flipped the page. She found that below were fragments of miscellaneous notes, neither diaries nor letters, but apparently fragmentary records and miscellaneous feelings, which read:
When I first met Xintong, I was always puzzled by her two eye waves, and I had never seen a girl with more charming eyes than her. Every time she smiles at me, I can't give up, the ancients had the so-called eyes that want to flow, her eyes can be deserved, as for "a smile to the city, and then a smile to the country" is not an exaggeration. I often forgot her age, and one day I said to her:
"Xintong, I'm too tired to wait for you to grow up."
She actually replied: "Then, don't wait, I'll marry you today!" β
She was fifteen years old. Xintong likes music, likes to hold the guitar in his arms, and sings with the strings. Her voice is soft and moving, and her voice is slightly hoarse and slightly magnetic. One day, she said:
"I'm going to make a song for you!"
I was so excited that I got carried away. She did it, and sang it to me, and the lyrics went like this:
"I know a fool, he's tall and big, he doesn't speak sweetly, and when he sees me, he's stupid! He said that I was like a morning glow, and I was a toad, and I smiled at him, and the toad became mute! β
Xintong is like this, she is funny and happy, talented, even if it is a joke, it is wonderful. Now that she is gone from me, I can no longer ask anyone to sing to me: "The toad has become dumb!" "The saddest thing in life is just life and death.
Ling Shan closed the booklet suddenly, feeling her heart beating short of breath and tears welling up in her eyes, she remembered that he had also compared herself to a "toad", it turned out that this was his specialty! However, what really hurts her heart is not this incident, but his infatuation with "Xintong", it seems that compared with Xintong, he is probably less than one percent of Xintong's in his mind! Xintong, she suddenly frowned in confusion, why is the cover "Aitong", and the inside is "Xintong"? Yes! A flash of inspiration flashed in her heart, and it suddenly dawned on her. Xu Zhimo has "Ai Mei Xiaoza" and "Ai Mei Diary", and Wei Pengfei has "Ai Tong Miscellaneous"! Xintong is her name, and Aitong is his emotion! With so much affection, what status does Ling Shan have? She threw the booklet into a drawer, got up and wanted to leave, but, after all, she was not reconciled, she picked it up again, and turned another page.
Xintong likes to wear soft silk clothes, especially white, in summer, she often wears a white silk dress, wide and loose, she only ties a belt around the waist, she is slender and slender, so casual dress, is also graceful. Every time I hold her soft little hand, I am reminded of the poems of my predecessors:
"Ice muscles and jade bones, cool and sweatless."
It is rumored that this sentence was written by Hou Shu Mengchang for Mrs. Hua Rui, and it is expected that Xin Tong must be as good as Mrs. Hua Rui compared with Mrs. Hua Rui back then. Every winter, Xintong is not afraid of the cold at all, she doesn't like to wear a coat, she thinks the coat is bloated, a white sweater, a thin skirt, is her coldest weather makeup. Walking on the street, she sighed, it became a white mist, she smiled happily and said: "Pengfei, you love me, just catch this fog!" β
I really reached out to grab it, and she rolled into my arms with a smile, her hands around my waist, and she rubbed me and shouted, "You're a fool of fools!" It's my cutest fool! "What time is it? I'd love to be a fool again, as long as Xintong returns! In this life and this life, there will never be a second woman who makes me as tempted as Xintong, never! Because, God only created one Xintong!
The only one and only Xintong!
Ling Shan didn't have the courage to read it anymore, so she threw the book into the drawer, and she slammed it shut, then turned around and rushed straight into the living room. Her vision was blurred, and her eyes were full of tears. Chu Chu raised his head and shouted happily:
"Auntie, did you find the pencil sharpener?"
"Wait for Ah Xiang to come back and help you sharpen!" She screamed vaguely, gritted her teeth, and rushed out of Wei's house. She couldn't stop her tears from closing her eyes, and wiped away the tears with her hands, and at this moment, she understood what "jealousy" was, what "sadness", what "pain", and "heartbreak"!
went home directly, she immediately dialed a phone call to Shao Zhuosheng, with tears in her eyes, but she said clearly: "Come and pick me up, let's go to dinner together!" β
