On May 3, Wu Dao and Si Baifang went to the Summer Palace and the Old Summer Palace. Looking at these two historical buildings, they both felt a lot of emotion.

After two days of shopping, Wu Dao and Si Baifang felt a little tired, so they changed their original plan, and on May 4, they no longer went to the scenic spots, but rested in Weixiu Garden in the morning and went to the Beijing Book Market in the afternoon. Both of them were very fruitful at the book market, buying three books each. Si Baifang said to Wu Dao:

"I like Beijing more and more, there are so many historical sites and cultural atmosphere, I want to come to Beijing to work and live if I have the possibility in the future."

On May 5th, Wu Dao and Si Baifang's last day in Beijing, they decided to visit Xiangshan, and most importantly, the Cao Xueqin Memorial Hall.

Si Baifang only knew that there was a Cao Xueqin Memorial Hall in Xiangshan, Beijing, but he didn't know the specific location, and mistakenly thought that the memorial hall was in Xiangshan Park. Wu Dao also neglected to confirm to Jing Like that after he and Si Baifang arrived at Xiangshan by bus, they went straight to the gate of Xiangshan Park, bought a ticket and walked in.

Wu Dao and Si Baifang looked at the road map on the ticket and found that there was no Cao Xueqin Memorial Hall on it, so they went back to ask the staff of the scenic spot, who told them that the Cao Xueqin Memorial Hall was not far away in the Beijing Botanical Garden, not in Xiangshan Park. Wu Dao said to Si Baifang:

"Now that we've arrived here and bought our tickets, let's take a look at the park first. In the afternoon, we will go to the Botanical Garden to see the Cao Xueqin Memorial Hall. ”

"Well, although we went to Xiangshan Park by mistake, there may be an unexpected gain. Fortunately, the tickets here are cheap and there is nothing to lose. Si Baifang said.

"Perhaps, this park is destined for us, let's go."

Wu Dao and Si Baifang toured in Xiangshan Park. As they thought, the park wasn't their original destination, but it was a great place to visit. They took group photos at Jingcui Lake, Yingluo Rock, Shuangqing Villa and other places.

When I came out of Fragrant Hills Park, it was already noon. Wu Dao and Si Baifang had lunch outside and walked to the real destination of their trip, the Beijing Botanical Garden. Fortunately, the distance was not far, and they arrived quickly and bought tickets to enter immediately. Seeing the tickets, Wu Dao unexpectedly found that there was also Liang Qichao's tomb in the botanical garden, and he was even more full of expectations for this park.

The scenery of the botanical garden is also very good, and the distance from the Cao Xueqin Memorial Hall is getting closer and closer, Si Baifang looks very happy, and she also learns to call a few times when she hears a bird in the tree. Looking at the happy Si Baifang, Wu Dao remembered the scene of picking mushrooms with He Hua in Mingzhu Lake, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Finally came to the Cao Xueqin Memorial Hall in Huangye Village, Wu Dao and Si Baifang carefully inspected every landscape, and they had a deep feeling in their hearts. The sentence "The Red Chamber is a dream, not a dream, and the history is affectionate but ruthless" made Wu Dao fall into deep thought, and he said to Si Baifang:

"The Red Chamber is a dream but not a dream, and Qingshi seems to be affectionate but ruthless. Before I went to university, I had not read the original work of Dream of Red Mansions except for excerpts from Chinese textbooks. It wasn't until my freshman year that I read the book in its entirety for the first time, and I was hooked and read it three times in a row. Sometimes, I feel like a person who has been living in the dream of the Red Chamber and does not want to wake up. ”

"I feel that way all the time. Every girl in the Grand View Garden has a high talent, they are far away from the distractions of the world, and they take poetry as fun all day long, which is a paradise. I often feel that there seems to be a connection between me and Lin Daiyu that is difficult to describe in words. Sometimes I even feel that I am Lin Daiyu. Si Baifang said.

Wu Dao wanted to say that he also found his shadow in Jia Baoyu, but remembered that Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu were destined to be inseparable, and they were not together in the end, so he didn't say that sentence, instead:

"Dream of Red Mansions is really a great book that cannot be replicated, and everyone can find their own shadow in it."

After seeing the Cao Xueqin Memorial Hall, Wu Dao and Si Baifang returned the same way. Walking in front of Cao Xueqin's statue, Si Baifang proposed that the two of them take a group photo here. Wu Dao found a passer-by and helped them take pictures. The helpers thought that Wu Dao and Si Baifang were a couple, and said to them when taking pictures:

"You guys be close, the boy can put his arm around the girl's shoulder."

Wu Dao had never had such an intimate act with Si Baifang on his shoulders, and after listening to the words of the photographer, he deliberately hugged Si Baifang's shoulders, like a couple. But Si Baifang immediately moved a step outward, as if to avoid Wu Dao, and the passers-by who helped take the photo took a photo at this moment. Wu Dao clearly noticed Si Baifang's actions just now, and remembered the love tragedy between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, he suddenly felt that this was the best time to confess to Si Baifang, there was no place more suitable than here, and Mr. Cao Xueqin should be allowed to witness his love for Si Baifang. Wu Dao took the camera from the passerby who helped take pictures, said "thank you", turned to look at Si Baifang and said:

"Bai Fang, Je t'aime."

"What did you say?" Si Baifang didn't know that Wu Dao spoke "I love you" in French.

"I speak Je t'aime in French. There is one thing that I have buried in my heart for a long time, and I have never told you, I like you, and when I first met you, I liked you. Wu Dao couldn't say the word "love", so he chose "like".

Si Baifang heard Wu Dao say that she liked herself, she was a little surprised at first, and then she showed a very angry look, she said to Wu Dao:

"Wu Dao, I misread you. I always thought that you were different from others, only you really cared about me, and there were no other intentions, it turned out that you were no different from them. I told you that we are friends of the heart, and you covet my body, and you let me down so much. ”

"Baifang, I'm not coveting your body, I like you from the bottom of my heart, not only your body, but also your soul, I like everything about you."

"Don't say that again, or we'll no longer be friends. I also want to tell you that I have already thought about it, I will never get married for the rest of my life, and no one will be able to chase me. If you don't want to ruin our friendship, don't say you like me. ”

Wu Daowan didn't expect his confession to be such a result, he only felt like five thunderbolts, and he didn't know what was going on in an instant and where to go. They originally planned to leave the Cao Xueqin Memorial Hall and go to Liang Qichao's tomb to pay respects, but Si Baifang walked towards the gate of the Botanical Garden, and Wu Dao also followed. Along the way, the two men didn't say a word.

After getting on the bus, Si Baifang still didn't say a word to Wu Dao. After returning to Weixiuyuan, she also went directly to the dormitory. When it was time for dinner, Wu Dao went to call Si Baifang, and she said the first sentence to Wu Dao:

"I'm not hungry, go eat. I'm so tired that I want to rest early in the evening. ”

Wu Dao didn't want to say anything, so he and Jing Like went to dinner. Jing Like didn't know if what Si Baifang said was true or false, but seeing that Wu Dao was preoccupied, and as long as he had a small amount of food, he guessed that something must have happened between the two of them, so he was like this. During the meal, Jing Like said to Wu Dao:

"Where did you and Si Baifang go today?"

"We went to Xiangshan." Wu Dao said.

"Did something unpleasant happen to you? Si Baifang doesn't eat, and you are also very unhappy, as long as you have so little food. ”

"Si Baifang and I originally wanted to see the Cao Xueqin Memorial Hall today, we mistakenly thought that the memorial hall was in Xiangshan Park, and after arriving in Xiangshan in the morning, we directly bought tickets and entered Xiangshan Park. Once inside, we realized that we had gone to the wrong place. ”

"Xiangshan Park is also a very famous attraction, go to the wrong place, you can also take a look."

"Yes, it wasn't where we wanted to be at first, but we had a lot of fun there. After lunch, we went to the Beijing Botanical Garden, where we visited the Cao Xueqin Memorial Hall. ”

"The Cao Xueqin Memorial Hall is in the Beijing Botanical Garden, and I've been there."

"The memorial is inside. After Si Baifang and I went in, we were very happy at first. ”

"What happened next?"

"This matter starts with my acquaintance with Si Baifang. I met her by chance. Si Baifang's experience is legendary, she is a very talented girl, but because her family is too poor, she went to Jeju to work after graduating from junior high school and became one of the countless working girls. Later, she took the self-examination with perseverance to get a bachelor's degree and went to a private middle school as a teacher. ”

"In the past, you only said that you met a strange woman, but I didn't expect her experience to be so legendary."

"Yes. Si Baifang did not go to a full-time university, so she thought of taking the graduate school entrance examination at Jeju University, and also looked for the list and contact information of the newly admitted graduate students on the Internet. When I worked in the town government, I worked as a publicity officer, and I often sent emails to the newspaper, so my email address was easy to find online. Si Baifang sent an email to my mailbox, telling me about her experience and dreams of going to graduate school, hoping that I could help her. I was so touched by her experience that I decided to do my best to help her. Unexpectedly, when I first met her, I fell in love with her. ”

"Si Baifang is indeed a girl worthy of love. In my opinion, the two of you are still a good match. ”

"I never told her that I liked her, and I thought about it, and I confessed to her after she finished the graduate school entrance examination. When I visited the Cao Xueqin Memorial Hall today, I finally confessed. ”

"What was the result?"

"That's what it looks like now."

"What did she say to you, did she not like you?"

"She didn't say she didn't like me, she said that we were friends in the heart, and she wouldn't accept me, and she wouldn't accept anyone, because she had already thought about not getting married for the rest of her life. After that, she didn't say a word to me, except for the first two. I don't know why that's happening. ”

"Si Baifang is a rare talented woman, she may have some knots, it's better to slow down and talk about it first."

"That's it, that's all it can be."

After eating, Wu Dao and Jing Like went to Yanyuan for a while and talked about their life ideals by Weiming Lake. After returning to the dormitory, Jing Like said that he had written two words to give to Wu Dao. After Wu Dao took it and opened it, he saw that there were two poems on it, one of which was taken from Han Yuefu:

The withered fish wept across the river

When to repent

Writing books with bream

Teach each other to be cautious

Another is taken from nineteen ancient poems:

It's not a chapter all day long

Weeping like rain

The river is clear and shallow

It's a little bit different

Yingying in the water

The pulse is silent

"Before you and Si Baifang came to Beijing, I wrote these two words, thinking that I would give them to you when you came." Jing Like said to Wu Dao.

"I didn't expect that the content of these two poems happens to be so consistent with my current situation." Wu Dao said.

"My original intention, the first poem is to warn us to be cautious, and the second poem uses love to write about our friendship."

"Ricko, I understand, thank you."

On May 6, Wu Dao and Si Baekfang returned to Jeju by train. As Wu Dao imagined, Si Baifang was very cold to him and would hardly take the initiative to talk to him. After arriving at Jeju Railway Station, Wu Dao wanted to send Si Baifang back to Gaoyang Middle School, but she didn't let him send it.

Wu Dao regretted it very much, he shouldn't have confessed to Si Baifang, from now on, I was afraid that it would be difficult to see her again.
