(Back to Chapter 50 of the lower part of the text)

Wu Dao and Meng Yihong reunited in Shen Yuan. Wu Dao said to Meng Yihong:

"The love tragedy of Lu You and Tang Wan, we are very clear. Yihong, God chose to let us meet again in Shen Yuan, there must be a meaning. Let me take care of you in the future, and I will never let you leave my side again. ”

"Wu Dao, God let us meet here again, maybe it really has some meaning. However, I can't answer you right now. In a few days, I'll give you an answer. Meng Yihong said.

"Why can't you give me an answer right now?"

"You'll find out in a few days."

"Okay. Yihong, do you remember, today is my birthday on the solar calendar, and our meeting here is the best gift God has given me. ”

"Of course I remember that today is your birthday. I'll celebrate your birthday with you in the evening. ”

"Okay."

After leaving Shen Garden, Meng Yihong took Wu Dao to find a hotel near Shen Garden to celebrate his birthday. She also bought Wu Dao a birthday cake, and both of them drank some wine. Wu Dao was happy to be reunited with Meng Yihong from the bottom of his heart, but Meng Yihong seemed to keep a certain distance from him, which made him puzzled and sad.

After eating, Meng Yihong wanted to return to his home. Wu Dao saved Meng Yihong's phone number in his mobile phone, added WeChat, and then said to her:

"Yihong, I'll send you."

"No, my place is near here." Meng Yihong said.

"Yihong, I told you that I want to be with you, very seriously."

"I know."

"Can't you just give me an answer right now?"

"I said it, and I'll give you the answer in a few days."

"You're not going to disappear again, are you?"

"Not anymore."

"I'll return to Fangzhou tomorrow morning, when can we meet again?"

"In a few days, I will go to Fangzhou to find you."

"How many days?"

"Three or four days at most, it should be soon."

"Yihong, you won't lie to me, will you?"

"My words count, and I will not break my word."

"Good. I'll send you my current address on WeChat. ”

"Okay, I'll see you in a few days, and I'll give you a satisfactory answer then."

"Yihong, I'll wait for you back in Fangzhou."

Meng Yihong took the bus back to her residence, and Wu Dao watched her get on the bus before taking a taxi back to the hotel.

The next morning, Wu Dao took the high-speed train back to Fangzhou.

Two days later, in the afternoon, Meng Yihong called Wu Dao. Wu Dao was very excited when he saw that it was Meng Yihong's call, he said:

"Yihong, have you arrived in Fangzhou?"

"Yes, I've already returned to Fangzhou." Meng Yihong said.

"Where are you now?"

"I was in a hotel near Fangzhou University. I have sent the hotel address and room number to your WeChat. Didn't you say you wanted an answer, you come to the hotel and I'll tell you the answer. ”

"I'll go right away."

Wu Dao opened WeChat and saw the message sent by Meng Yihong. The hotel is very close to Fangzhou University, he didn't have classes, so he went to the hotel at that time. Wu Dao was looking forward to seeing Meng Yihong again, expecting Meng Yihong to give him an answer.

When he came to the hotel, Wu Dao's heart was pounding, and he walked to Meng Yihong's room step by step. Wu Dao rang the doorbell with a trembling hand, expecting Meng Yihong to open the door. The sound of walking came from the room, and as it got closer, the door opened.

Standing in front of Wu Dao was not Meng Yihong, but a middle-aged woman. She was not tall, thin, and had a melancholy look in her eyes. The middle-aged woman said to Wu Dao:

"Wu Dao, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Wu Dao was stunned, he couldn't believe his eyes, it was Si Baifang who opened the door. He said to Si Baifang:

"Baifang, how could it be you?"

"It was Teacher Meng who asked me to wait for you here."

"What about Teacher Meng?"

"She's gone. However, she left a letter for you, right in the room. ”

Wu Dao walked into the room, and Si Baifang picked up a letter from the table and handed it to him. Wu Dao opened the envelope, took out the letter from it, and looked at the text on it:

Wu Dao:

When you read this letter, you must have already seen Si Baifang. She's the answer I gave you.

You must want to ask, why did I know Si Baifang. It all started a few years ago. After I arrived in Zhejiang, I lived a semi-reclusive life, but I occasionally participated in literary activities, and at one of the events, I met Si Baifang by chance.

I've seen Si Baifang in photos, and her name is so special that it's hard to find someone with the same name. At that time, the moment we met, I concluded that she must be the person you have been in love with all your life.

Si Baifang and I fell in love very closely, and it can even be said that we hit it off at first sight. I told Si Baifang about you, and she was very sad when she knew it.

Si Baifang also told me about her, she has experienced two failed marriages over the years, and finally understands that you are her only trusted friend and the most important person. But she can't go to you because she doesn't want to disturb your life anymore. She just wanted to live alone like this.

After the last reunion in Shen Yuan, you talked about you and said that you wanted to be with me. I know you're telling the truth. But I also know that although you also like me, the person you love most in your heart has always been Si Baifang.

After we separated, you went back to Fangzhou the next day, and I also took the train to Beijing to find Si Baifang. I told her about your decades of experience and told her that the person you love has always been her. Si Baifang finally agreed to go back to Fangzhou with me and meet you.

Si Baifang wants to hear you tell her in person that you still love her and want to be with her. As long as you say it, she will stay and marry you and never be separated again.

Wu Dao, I know, you will not let me down. You tell Si Baifang that you still love her. She's waiting for your answer.

There is one more thing, about Shi Qingqing's car accident, you have been blaming yourself. Si Baifang and I went to the traffic police team to check the files of the year, the car accident was completely caused by the other party's drunk driving, the speed was very fast at that time, and it was almost impossible to avoid any driver. A copy of the file is with Si Baifang, and she will hand it over to you.

I have returned to Zhejiang. You are welcome to come and see me with Si Baifang.

Meng Yihong"

After reading the letter, Wu Dao said to Si Baifang:

"Baifang, is Teacher Meng really gone?"

"Yes, she's gone." Si Baifang said.

"Did she say anything when she left?"

"She asked me to tell you that everything she had to say was already in the letter. Wu Dao, do you have anything to say to me? ”

"Baifang, I really didn't expect Teacher Meng to bring you here. Did Teacher Meng tell you about the matter between me and her? ”

"Having said something, she said that you and her used to be colleagues and neighbors."

"Looks like she didn't tell you all. Back then, I loved Mr. Meng. It's just that because she is too old and has infertility, she has always refused to accept me, and finally left Fangzhou. A few days ago, I met her again by chance in Shaoxing. ”

"I see. It seems that I should not have come here. I'll accompany you to find Ms. Meng, I know where she lives in Shaoxing. ”

"Baifang, let's take a look at Teacher Meng's letter first."

Wu Dao handed Meng Yihong's letter to Si Baifang, and she looked down.

After reading the letter, Si Baifang turned his eyes to Wu Dao again. Wu Dao said to her:

"Baifang, I didn't expect that the answer Yihong gave me would be you. However, Yihong is right, I have never forgotten you over the years. The cotton shoes you made for me and the Buddhist beads you gave me are all kept intact. ”

"I have always kept the jade bracelet you gave me, but I didn't wear it because I was afraid that it would break. What I want to say to you, Mr. Meng has already said it for me in the letter, can you tell me the answer? Me and Teacher Meng, who do you love more? ”

"I didn't understand it before, but now I know it. For Yihong, I have both love and my brother's dependence on my sister. I've been in love with you since the first time I saw you. For decades, the person I love the most has always been you. Baifang, I love you. ”

"Wu Dao, I love you too."

Wu Dao and Si Baifang hugged each other for five minutes. After separation, Wu Dao said to Si Baifang:

"Baifang, we have been separated for twenty years. In the past 20 years, have you lived a good life and have you had children? ”

"My life is not good at all without you. As Ms. Meng wrote in her letter, I experienced two failed marriages. After Xu Jinfeng and I got married, it was okay at first, but then the contradictions became bigger and bigger. Because I came from a poor background, my family looked down on me, and our marriage only lasted a little more than two years before it ended. ”

"Why didn't you tell me back then?"

"Because I don't want to disturb your life anymore, that's so unfair to you. Really, Wu Dao, you are the last person I want to hurt in this world. After the divorce, I left the bank where I worked and went to another bank.

A few years later, I got married again, and I thought that marriage would last long. Unexpectedly, just when I was pregnant, he had an extramarital affair. I immediately knocked out the child and divorced him. ”

"Have you been working in a bank?"

"A few years ago in the bank. After two failed marriages, I thought about my life and returned to literature to find a place for my soul. I spent a lot of time studying ancient Chinese poetry, and I also wrote a lot of poems in the old style, and I also gave myself a pen name called Sining. Then I went to work in the Writers' Association. When I participated in a literary event, I met Ms. Meng. ”

"I once read a collection of poems in the old style called "Selected Poems of Sining". Baifang, is that the book you wrote? ”

"You've read it, and that's an anthology of poetry that I published. Wu Dao, I heard Teacher Meng say that your current son is not biological, do you plan not to tell him all the time? ”

"If you can keep it hidden, it's best, and when you can't hide it, tell him again."

"That's fine."

On Saturday, Wu Dao and Si Baifang invited Wu Yisheng to dinner in the hotel. Wu Yisheng remembered that he had seen Si Baifang when he was young in many photos at home, and there was one photo of Wu Dao holding Si Baifang's shoulder, so he opposed their marriage.

Wu Dao told Wu Yisheng what happened at the beginning, and gave him a copy of Shi Qingqing's car accident file. After knowing the truth of the matter, Wu Yisheng accepted the marriage of Wu Dao and Si Baifang.

Si Baifang returned to Beijing, retired early, and came to Fangzhou to live with Wu Dao.

Wu Dao and Si Baifang did not have a wedding, but invited their most important friends to a meal. Jing Like, Zhao Wu, and Meng Yihong all came to drink their wedding wine.

Two years later, Wu Yisheng went to Beijing to attend university, and Wu Dao and Si Baifang went to Beijing to see him off. The two of them came to the Cao Xueqin Memorial Hall again and wrote the poem:

There is no need to mention the wind and rain in the third year,

In the dream, the plants and trees are the same.

Mo Dao's heart has been separated for a long time,

Return is you also poetry.
