Chapter 16: Different Dreams in the Same Bed

Although Bai Xuesong and Chen Hong have gone through the divorce procedures, the two still live in the same room, they basically don't see each other during the day, and there is not much difference between them and the husband and wife at night, the only difference is that the double quilt is replaced by a single quilt. Since they are together, they still have to communicate, and their conversation is no different from before, still focusing on the stories around Chen Hong, and occasionally Bai Xuesong also talks about various people and things he encountered on the way he drove.

Wang Jing's story is still the most frequent topic of conversation, and Chen Hong is very excited every time she talks about it, as if she is talking about a TV series that is being played. Chen Hong's expression skills are extremely strong, and she can explain the usual experience in a delicate and nuanced manner, and the plot is full of ups and downs, which is fascinating. At this time, Bai Xuesong is a good listener, engrossed, and can't interrupt her creative ideas at will, let alone ask questions. But when she finishes telling a story, Bai Xuesong must answer or discuss with her the content of the story, its meaning, future development trends, possible outcomes, and so on. Bai Xuesong, a taxi driver, really doesn't have such a big ability, although he can be regarded as a master who can speak, but things that are too esoteric are not good, so he can only echo Chen Hong every time. Bai Xuesong drove for a day, and listening to those stories about Wang Jing was also a kind of relaxation, but he didn't expect Wang Jing to become the culprit who ruined their marriage.

After Chen Hong was free, she quickly mingled with her girlfriends, who used to be a group of people, but now she is even more arrogant. In the past, if she hung out with her girlfriends too often or had too close contact, Bai Cedar would intervene from the side. Although she didn't listen at all, she would at least give Bai Xuesong some face, but now it's different, she doesn't take Bai Xuesong seriously.

When Chen Hong gets home, she will still talk to Bai Xuesong about the experience of playing outside with a few girlfriends, and she has no avoidance of Bai Xuesong, it seems that the two of them have also become best friends, and they are more intimate than best friends, they are bed friends. Those experiences were mostly about what kind of men they all knew and what intricacies were going on. Whenever this happens, Bai Cedar will ask her two words: What about you? Chen Hong did not hesitate to start talking about her experience, which was no different from talking about others.

Of course, there are some key links that she will not disclose, such as sleeping with men she knows. If she even told Bai Xuesong about this, she would be too lacking in heart. But from her narrative, White Cedar can detect clues that she is no longer the same person she used to be. She is a language teacher, and she pays special attention to the focus and simplicity in her storytelling, and she will tell the ambiguous interactions or the more ridiculous encounters in detail, and pass by the people with whom she might be seriously interacting. Bai Xuesong understands very well that these passing talents are the focus of the story, but he is too lazy to ask too much, so as not to get himself into unwarranted troubles.

Now that he is divorced, Bai Xuesong is no longer afraid to mention these things. Although his original intention was still to worry about Chen Hong, worried that she not only had a story, but also had an accident, sometimes he couldn't help but remind Chen Hong, but every time he was condemned by her.

"There are too many bad people out there, so you have to be careful when you interact with people."

"Who's the bad guy? Why didn't I see it? ”

"Bad guys don't have words written on their heads."

"I think you're jealous, right? If you want to find it, you can also find it, some are beautiful women. ”

"Why are you still so unreasonable?"

"What do you mean? It's like how unreasonable I used to be. ”

"You think you've been very reasonable before, don't you?"

"No, I don't want to be reasonable at all, and people like you have nothing to talk about."

"I'm reminding you for your own good."

"Then thank you, you don't have the power to control me now, I can find whoever I want. Everyone is a bad person, but you are a good person? ”

Usually when she talks like this, Bai Xuesong will no longer pay attention to her, because the more she argues, the more she will be boosted by the result, there is a saying that the wife is loud, although Chen Hong is not tall, but the quarrel is very loud, this is her perennial standing on the podium to lecture and practice a skill. Every time they quarrel, Chen Hong must win in the end, so Bai Xuesong always satisfies her needs and ends with him silently in the end, not to mention the current situation.

In Chen Hong's heart, love is still in the same state as it was more than 20 years ago, two people watching movies and holding hands is already a big rebellion, and visiting the park is the best way to communicate. But after she and Wang Jing attended a few parties, they realized that they were too outdated.

Because everyone has to go to work during the day, the time to communicate is usually in the evening or on weekends, and basically they still stay in the online chat, and sometimes Bai Cedar will also be present, so there is a lot of inconvenience. Although they are divorced, Bai Xuesong also knows Chen Hong's general movements, and sometimes Chen Hong will even take the initiative to tell Bai Xuesong which party he has attended recently and what kind of people he has met. Whenever this time, Bai Xuesong is always sneering and giving her false guidance, most of the time it is repeatedly persuading that the current society is complicated, there are too many bad people outside, and a woman like Chen Hong, who has been working in the school, has no contact with the outside world, and does not understand how terrifying the outside world is, so you must be careful.

"Don't you think I'm stupid?"

"Don't think you're stupid."

"Then I'm going to find someone better than you, why didn't I find those men as bad as you say? I think you're out of balance. You can find it too, I won't interfere with you. ”

"I don't have that idleness. I wish you the best of luck finding someone you like soon. ”

"A must."

Every time the topic is talked about, the ending is pretty much the same. The reason why Bai Xuesong didn't restrict Chen Hong too much was because he didn't take their divorce too seriously. The two people still live together, and formally there is no difference at all from not having a divorce. And Bai Xuesong didn't think that Chen Hong would really have any situation outside, he knew very well what those men outside thought, and few men would accept a woman like Chen Hong.

After Wang Jing knew the news that Chen Hong wanted a divorce, she agreed at first, but after she calmed down and thought about it, she suddenly regretted it. She called Chen Hong to come out to play at the time, completely to relieve her depressed mood, she didn't think too much, let alone think that she would bring Chen Hong to the road of divorce, she felt that Chen Hong's divorce and she had a lot of responsibility, although she discussed it with Chen Hong, Chen Hong also completely denied her statement, but more or less she knew that it had something to do with her. Chen Hong was originally the kind of person who likes to be lively, and has been closed at home for more than ten years, since she came out to play with her, she suddenly opened her eyes and relaxed her mind, although she had also told herself before that she had the idea of wanting a divorce, but it was nothing more than an emotion after the quarrel between the two of them, and now it has become a fact. She felt like she was playing a role in fueling the fire.

At this point, she wanted to explain to Chen Hong, and even wanted to explain to Bai Xuesong, but these were to no avail, and she might even bring trouble to herself, so she finally decided not to take Chen Hong out anymore, and gradually stayed away from Chen Hong. And she realized that Chen Hong wanted to find another one after the divorce, which could be seen from Chen Hong's performance every time they went out to a party together, Chen Hong was very serious about observing the men around her, which was different from Wang Jing's thoughts.

Chen Hong still asked Wang Jing to take her out to play on the weekend, but Wang Jing refused several times, and her excuse was also far-fetched, nothing more than that her parents were not in good health and needed her to take care of them. Chen Hong didn't think much about it, after a few times, she may also realize that Wang Jing deliberately did not accompany her, she decided to talk to Wang Jing, she knew Wang Jing's thoughts.

"Why didn't you take me out to play?" Chen Hong asked bluntly.

Since Chen Hong asked like this, there is no need for Wang Jing to hide it, she said:

"I don't think your divorce has anything to do with me? I always let you go out with me and play with those people, and I broke you. ”

Chen Hong thought that it was true, and her judgment was not wrong, but she couldn't say it too bluntly.

"Don't stink, who do you think you are? Am I so easily taken away? It's like you're so much worse than I am. ”

"Don't be funny, I know there must be a relationship, so I can't let you go on like this anymore."

"I can't say that there is no relationship at all, but the relationship is so small that it can almost be ignored. In fact, I have long wanted to divorce Bai Xuesong, you have seen the two of us with your own eyes, from the realization to the present, I am the kind of competitive woman, he used to be a business and a rental, and I can also show off in front of other sisters, but now you look at him like that, he doesn't seek to be motivated, and he hangs all day long, I don't want to live that kind of ordinary life. What he can give me now can only be plain, I'm still young and beautiful, maybe I think this and do not do it right, but there is nothing wrong with pursuing beauty, right? Our days were so dull, so dull that they were like a pool of stagnant water, and I really didn't want to live like this.

As for what you said about taking me out to play, at first I just wanted to accompany you, and then I also wanted to go out and open my eyes, in fact, those men are no better, but after all, it is a colorful world, which is completely different from my previous life, and it is also the kind of life I yearn for. After I get divorced, I don't necessarily have to find someone to marry, I just want to find a romantic and warm life, which Bai Cedar can't give me, you should understand me, you must not blame yourself, this has nothing to do with you. ”

"Whatever? I won't take you with me in the future, I'll play by myself, or I don't want to go out and play anymore, it's a bit crazy for a while. ”

"Whatever you want, it's okay, I'm alone now anyway, free, and I don't really like that kind of party, it's too messy, I want to find my way out. You remember what I said, we will always be friends in this life, friends who are closer than my husband, my husband can have it, but we must be permanent. Do you remember what we said? There may never be another person in this life who can stay together longer than the two of us, and this has come true. ”
