Chapter 11: Affection and Sex
She is, of course, one of the main female characters in the book, named Zhang Wanyi's eldest lady.
Although she was born into an old-fashioned family and was taught to be virtuous since she was a child, she was fortunate enough to attend a new girls' high school and university, received a new education, and in the process, fell in love with the vernacular modern poetry that is becoming popular today.
Xu Shizhe is quite talented in creating modern poetry, his poems are fresh, the rhyme is harmonious, the metaphors are novel, the imagination is rich, the artistic conception is beautiful, the mind is elegant, rich in change, and the pursuit of art form is neat, gorgeous, has a distinctive artistic personality, he can even be regarded as a genre of modern poetry.
So it is natural for him to be admired by Zhang Wanyi, the eldest lady.
The amorous Xu Shizhe will never refuse the arms of female fans, and even he will take the initiative to flirt with female fans, anyway, all he loves is their moving bodies, for him, sex may be like eating and drinking, it is an indispensable thing in life.
Xu Shizhe never thought that he would fall in love with Zhang Wanyi, the eldest lady who was extremely attached to him because of his admiration and then because of Zhang Wanyi's love for him, like a moth to a fire, for him and even regretted the marriage contract he had made since childhood, becoming a joke for the whole family, and breaking with the family without leaving a way back......
This can't help but remind Xu Shizhe of his first love, her and Zhang Wanyi's approach is simply two extremes, she easily accepted the family's arrangement, and at the same time chose an honest man who she can fully control very realistically.
Xu Shizhe was obviously moved by Zhang Wanyi's romantic determination, so his love for her also violated the principles he had formulated, and even married her.
When the novel is written here, it seems to be instilling the concept of free love in readers, as if there are really lovers who eventually become married, because Xu Shizhe is indeed in love with Zhang Wanyi, who almost gave up everything for him, and Zhang Wanyi loves him like this, and the two even entered the palace of marriage together, even if this marriage is not supported by two families at all.
But as long as the two people who are married are happy, isn't it enough?
In fact, no matter what era it is, marriage never seems to be a matter between two people, but between two families, and a marriage that is not blessed by the family has some flaws after all, and perhaps after many years, the heat of love fades, and both parties will have remorse.
When Wang Defu writes such a happy and happy free love plot, his words are also romantic, beautiful and warm, just like the text strokes of "Farewell to Kangqiao", the decisive lady who left home and the prodigal poet who turned back compose a healing love song together, and the H paragraph between them has also become an indispensable existence that further pushes the beautiful and romantic atmosphere of the article to a climax!
Wang Defu can confidently say that he really didn't write H purely to write H, but to make the article more full and emotional, as if the love was deep and natural, which seemed to minimize the kitsch of the article.
If the novel ends here, then no matter how romantic and beautiful the writing is, no matter how sweet and healing the plot is, its depth will never go up, and it will not shock the reader's soul, so the next plot, of course, will begin to take a sharp turn!
Xu Shizhe's initial character was the kind of person who could completely separate the spirit from the flesh, so even if he had true love for Zhang Wanyi and even married her, he still did not give up his attitude towards sex, that is, he still needed to have sex with different women, as if he had to eat every day.
He believes that having sex with a woman and sleeping with a woman are two very different, even almost opposites. Love is not manifested through the desire to have sex (which can be the desire for countless women), but through the desire to sleep with her (which can only be the desire for one woman).
He is willing to sleep with Zhang Wanyi, and he can't give up having sex with other women, he feels that he doesn't love those women anyway, and he doesn't take those women home, why can't he do this?
From the perspective of ordinary people, this is a set of sophistry scumbag theories, but when a scumbag does this, at least he will have a weak heart and a sense of guilt, but Xu Shizhe will not have any guilt, and he has not changed his mind about Zhang Wanyi, he really empathizes with other women, just applauds with other women, what's the big deal?
Xu Shizhe, who did not hide his behavior, obviously made Zhang Wanyi, the eldest lady who loved him wholeheartedly and gave up almost everything for him, be seriously hurt after discovering that he did not change his popular behavior at all.
The previous romantic and warm style of writing has become gloomy and heavy, Zhang Wanyi obviously can't be separated from the soul and flesh like Xu Shizhe, although her behavior has been bold and rebellious to the extreme, but she is conservative in her bones, she feels that if she loves someone deeply, she can only sleep with him alone, how can she love him spiritually and applaud others physically?
Perhaps this is also the fundamental difference between women and men when dealing with feelings, when men cheat physically, they often do not have any mental fluctuations, and when a woman cheats physically, her spirit is very likely to have been empathized.
Zhang Wanyi, who was hurt by Xu Shizhe's behavior, often woke up in extremely uneasy nightmares, and there was no way to trust Xu Shizhe anymore, even if he said that his spiritual love for her would never change, and he would never fall in love with any woman again, but he had to have sex with them, just like people can't eat without eating, if he doesn't have sex with them, he will never be easy.
This has become a dead knot between the two that can never be untied, maybe this is the disagreement between the three views.
Among Xu Shizhe's many "sexual partners", there is a stunning actress named "Lu Poppy", she is the most jealous object of Zhang Wanyi, Zhang Wanyi found out that Xu Shizhe was "cheating", also because she read the letters between Lu Poppy and Xu Shizhe, and even the two staged a living spring palace in front of Zhang Wanyi. Of course, it was Zhang Wanyi who spied on her husband and mistress......
Lu Poppy is a very special female character, she constantly chooses betrayal all her life, and chooses to let her life be light and without responsibility. She hates loyalty and any kind of kitsch that pleases the public, but this betrayal makes her feel that her life exists in nothingness.
If the relationship between Xu Shizhe and Zhang Wanyi is a reflection of the "love" in the title of the book "Love and Sex", then the relationship between him and actress Lu Yimeng is pure "sex".
