Chapter 8: Farewell

When the sisters left one after another, leaving Fei Guang alone in the rental house, he gradually regained his nervousness.

The tension has just been retracted, and the excitement has come again. Wave after wave rushed in, wave after wave of fierceness, forcing him to temporarily put aside his confession and forget his original intention for the time being.

The scene in the bedroom brought him a violent visual stimulus - champagne-colored walls, pale orange wardrobes, coffee-colored curtains, elegant murals, chic chandeliers, dazzling, making people look so eye-catching.

The fragrance in the air brought him a violent olfactory stimulation - the overflowing fragrance was refreshing and refreshing, like being under the violet tree in the early morning, fresh and fragrant.

On the bed, he was given a violent tactile stimulus. The silky feel is the bed sheets, the soft texture is the mattress, and the soft light yellow bedding still has some temperature, and in that temperature, there is the smell of old dew.

If the sensory stimulation is not enough to make Fei Guang forget his original intention for a while, then next, these psychological stimulation will be more than enough.

"Tick...... Tick"

A classic Nokia message ringtone shattered Fei Guang's fantasy in the bedroom, and after he subconsciously touched his pocket, he thought that the ringtone was not from his mobile phone.

Not to mention that his Nokia is in the pocket of his clothes in the living room, and he hasn't had time to bring it into the bedroom, just this pleasant high-quality ringtone can tell that the ringtone is not from his mobile phone.

His Nokia is still a well-worn 32 chord, and this ringtone is much ahead of mp3 sound quality.

"Tick...... Backbite! ”

Sure enough, when the bell rang again, Fei Guang took out another Nokia from under the pillow, which was a slide model N97 launched in 2009, with both physical buttons and a touch screen.

It was Chen Lu's mobile phone, she was in a hurry and forgot to bring it.

What stimulates Fei Guang's psychology is the content of the information in Chen Lu's n97.

When he got the phone at first, Fei Guang didn't mean to open it, because he knew that looking at other people's phones was an invasion of privacy and immoral.

However, after the tick-tick message rang two more times, curiosity overcame morality, and he slid away from his phone.

The phone didn't have a security lock, so he saw all the inboxes.

In the inbox, the largest number of messages are sent by a person with a note named Zhang Yang.

Among the messages, there are text messages of varying lengths, as well as MMS messages with photos of different scenes.

In the text message, although there are no too explicit words, no matter how Fei Guang looks at it, it seems to be an obscure ambiguity between men and women. Especially after reading the MMS messages in the MMS inbox, he was more sure.

In the MMS message, there are several photos of the exterior of a high-end villa, a steering wheel with a Cadillac logo, the main entrance of the Sofitel Hotel, a high-end gym, and a high-end golf course. In those photo scenes, there are the same man and different bright clothes, and one of them is a photo with Chen Lu.

That man is vigorous with heroism, luxurious with elegance, and indescribable atmosphere in his style. From the scene where the man is and his bright clothes, it is not difficult to see that he is either rich or expensive.

After reading the SMS and MMS, Fei Guang struggled in pain for a long time, and fantasized about the story between this man and Chen Lu in a variety of plots.

"Perhaps, this is the man who can be worthy of her......"

During the fantasy period, he developed a strong lack of self-confidence in his heart, and the lack of self-confidence eventually escalated to inferiority.

When he was inferior, he wrote a message to Chen Lu with pen and paper, and the message was both a confession and a farewell:

"Lulu, after reading my message below, you have to think carefully, don't rush to give me an answer.

My family is not rich, one could even say poor, and we owe money to relatives because of my mother's medical treatment, which we have only paid off in recent months.

When I first went on a blind date with you, I heard that your family was not very wealthy because of the large number of children. I was delusional that we would be 'the right person', so I was more confident in communicating with you that day, but in fact, I was a less confident person.

Now, after learning about the real situation of your family, and seeing your current standard of living, combined with the real problems of my family, I can't help but feel even more unconfident.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to say that you live a luxurious life, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to guarantee you such a standard of living in the future.

My mom, a little bit isn't normal.

I know that as a son, you shouldn't speak ill of your mother, but I still want to tell you that I think I should let you know the truth.

Now, I will talk about my mother from the perspective of a bystander.

She is not a good wife, nor is she a good daughter-in-law. Over the years of marrying my dad, she has often been-for-tat with my dad, and she has often been at odds with my grandmother. Her life policy is not to work, not to do housework, not to take care of children.

She's not a good mother. She doesn't like children, and even though my grandmother raised me until I was 10 years old and handed it over to her when I was sensible, she still didn't like it very much.

Before I came out to work at the age of 16, in the two years I lived with her, what I heard most was her ridicule, slander, and abuse, and what I saw the most was her selfishness, ruthlessness, and greed.

She is not a good daughter. Because she was a Christian missionary, she often went out and almost never fulfilled her obligation to support her grandmother and grandfather.

In the past two years, because of rumors of the end of the world, she has been out on a mission for a longer time, basically returning home once a month.

She was very determined to believe in religion, and even when her grandfather was away, she did not come back to serve her filial piety, and I kept filial piety for her grandfather for 21 days.

Grandpa's 'Sanqi' was the day before yesterday, so I could only take the train to Guangzhou yesterday at most.

I'm sorry I lied yesterday.

My mom is such a person, and I don't think she can be a good mother-in-law......

Based on my family background and such a mother, I hope you will think carefully about it again and think clearly about whether you want to continue to develop with me.

After all, getting married is not child's play!

Finally, please forgive me for being filthy and looking through your phone information.

Judging from the photos, Zhang Yang should be pretty good, maybe he is a better choice for you.

No matter what decision you make, I hope you are happy in the days to come!

Fei Guang

January 20, 2011 »

After Fei Guang finished writing, he unfolded the message paper and put it on the mat at the door, packed up his clothes and luggage, and left the rental house.

He felt that if he stayed, his presence might interfere with Chen Lu's choice.

He also felt that if he stayed, he might not be able to bear it once he was rejected by Chen Lu in person.

……

Tianhe District, Guangzhou

Impression Art Training School

Auditorium

"This master of Chinese painting, the shelf is really big enough?"

"yes, I said okay at 8 o'clock, it's almost 9 o'clock, and I haven't come yet."

"Master, you always have to put some scores, do you think that a younger brother like us will come and go as soon as he is called?"

"I'm not afraid of being late for a good meal, wait a minute, I heard that this master invited by the school is quite well-known in the art world."

"That's right, the master casually mentions it, maybe it will be enough for us to realize it for several years, it's worth the wait!"

"It won't be a nominal master, in this era, anyone can bear the name of a master, swaggering and deceiving, I can't believe it."

"Probably not, if it was a master of no level, the school would not have summoned so many students here, and the principal is not a person with no knowledge."

"Also, sketch class, gongbi class, freehand class, watercolor class, gouache class, oil painting class, Chinese painting class, as far as I know, it is the first time that the school has combined so many classes!"

In the auditorium of the Impression Art School, Chen Lu, a student of the Chinese painting class, listened to the bustling discussions of the students, and became anxious.

Anxious, not only did she look forward to the master coming to class, but more importantly, after entering the auditorium, she found that her phone had been left in the bedroom.

She was worried that if she rushed home to pick up her phone, she might miss the master's lesson. I was worried that if I didn't take it, Fei Guang might see the information in the mobile phone and misunderstand the relationship between myself and Zhang Yang.

has lived in Guangzhou for more than 6 years, and among the friends she has made, she and Zhang Yang have the closest relationship, so there are most SMS and MMS messages exchanged with Zhang Yang on her mobile phone.

In the text message, there are "Good night Lulu", "When I see the dew on the lotus leaf, I think of you", "Where are you?" I'll pick you up", "Why are you calling?" Did you miss me? Text messages like that. In the MMS, there is a photo of him and Zhang Yang.

Although she herself believes that her relationship with Zhang Yang is an absolutely pure friendship, she is worried that Fei Guang will misunderstand her ambiguous relationship with Zhang Yang after seeing this information.

At this time, Chen Lu believed that there was an absolutely pure friendship between men and women, not only because of her superb skills in disguise, but also because she didn't know men yet. At the age of 22, she is still a daughter, and even before she met Fei Guang, her first kiss was still retained.

……

The relationship between Chen Lu and Zhang Yang started 3 years ago.

At that time, Chen Lu, who loved painting since childhood, had an ideal - to be an art painter, and he had been working hard in Guangzhou for 3 years, but "the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny".

In the three years she spent in this metropolis, the money she earned from part-time work, except for rent, water and electricity, clothing, food, and travel, was not enough for her to go to a painting professional training school.

Although during that period, she referred to painting textbooks, taught herself "sketching" and "colored pencil brush", and used the little money left every month to enroll in a "crash course in painting", but the results were very little, and the progress of painting skills was still slow.

At the end of 2007, just when Chen Lu was discouraged, a man named Zhang Yang walked into her world and pointed her in the right direction.

When they first met, Chen Lu was 19 years old and unmarried.

Zhang Yang is 31 years old, married, his wife is young and beautiful, and he has both children.

That day, when Zhang Yang came to talk, Chen Lu, who was on duty at the front desk of KTV, was copying a character portrait with colored pencils.

Through the big words "well-known Chinese painting connoisseur" on his business card, as well as his deep understanding of painting, as well as the beautiful wife and lovely children who follow him.

Chen Lu judged that Zhang Yang was definitely only interested in approaching himself because he had discovered talented and potential painters.

Sure enough, with the assistance of Zhang Yang, Chen Lu first conducted formal and effective learning at a large-scale art training institution, Impression Art Training School, at a half-price discounted tuition.

After only studying for more than a year, she sold her first work in a calligraphy and painting shop under the leadership of Zhang Yang.

Since selling her first work, Zhang Yang has been objectively helping her improve her painting skills from the perspective of appreciation, so she has improved quickly.

Finally, in addition to learning "Sketch", "Gongbi", "Freehand" and "Watercolor", she also took "gouache" and "oil painting" under Zhang Yang's suggestion, and is now challenging the most difficult subject in this painting - "Chinese painting".

The most important thing is that with Zhang Yang's help and guidance, so far, she has sold 7 works, and the total income has reached 100,000.

Although the income from selling paintings can already meet her petty bourgeois life, her income is unstable, so she has never lost her job as a front desk consultant at KTV.

To sum up, Chen Lu believes that Zhang Yang is her nobleman.

After 3 years of close contact, Zhang Yang has never crossed the thunder pool for half a step towards her, and some only care about life and work, at most, he occasionally makes a small joke in the text message on his mobile phone.

Therefore, Chen Lu firmly believes that Zhang Yang has absolutely no thoughts about her.

Even Zhang Yang once gave her the stage name "Liuyun", which seems ambiguous with his own "Xiaofeng".

Chen Lu still believes that Zhang Yang is a noble person with a pure purpose, an absolutely pure friendship with himself, and a sympathy between artists.
