fourteen

Recalling that when she was with Lan Lan and Lan Qiao siblings today, Lin Wanqing's eyes were sometimes full of tenderness, and sometimes faint sadness.

Thinking of the way she looked at herself when she looked at herself eating like her brother, she thought she must be homesick, and she couldn't quite understand this emotion, a lonely prodigal son who was used to wandering.

"Nope." Faced with Wen Yan's question, Lin Wanqing covered up.

"Don't you miss your brother, don't you miss your parents? You see that Lan Lan and Lan Qiao are close to each other today, and I am very envious of them, and I want to go home to see them. Wen Yan said warmly.

Lin Wanqing only turned her back to him and didn't speak, Wen Yan stepped forward, only to see Lin Wanqing's eyes were ruddy, and two tears had fallen.

"Go away." Lin Wanqing said angrily to Wen Yan who was close to her.

Wen Yan hurriedly walked away, found a few pieces of paper, and returned to Lin Wanqing and handed it to her.

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have said this. You girls are not as hard-hearted as our men, and they are easy to get homesick. Wen Yan blamed himself, and asked Lin Wanqing again: "Don't you go home often?" ”

"You think they're all like you, and they're going home." Lin Wanqing said scoldly.

"Each has its own misfortunes, you can't go back if you have a home, and I dare not go back if you have a home." Wen Yan sighed.

"Why don't you dare to go back?" Lin Wanqing wondered.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday that I wouldn't be welcomed?" Wen Yan said helplessly.

"What's the big deal, is there still a grudge?" Lin Wanqing was puzzled.

"Don't say it, my family is really red when they see me." Wen Yan teased.

"How is that possible? Why? Lin Wanqing said with a puzzled face.

"Because...... Because I'm a single dog. Wen Yan said with a smile.

"What!" Lin Wanqing was surprised at first, and then laughed out loud.

"That's what they call me, and they're united and despise me together." Wen Yan smiled awkwardly.

"I don't understand, why are you alone?" Lin Wanqing asked.

"Why can't I be alone?" Wen Yan asked casually, as if he had been asked too many questions like this.

"Your conditions are very good, you don't have to worry about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, you want to have a career, you want to have wealth, you have a good age, you have a dignified appearance, except for a little talkative, love to ridicule, I haven't found any big problems, isn't it good?" Lin Wanqing commented.

"Is this just for marriage? I want to state that I am not a talker, because I want to make the problem clear, so I talk a little more. Wen Yan retorted.

"The most important thing is that you are in the business of solving other people's emotional problems, if you know that your own feelings are not arranged, how can others trust you? You are convinced that love exists and happiness is possible. Lin Wanqing analyzed.

"It's not that people who have to be married can experience the contradictions of life and feelings, it's not that they have committed a crime to know what criminal psychology and personality are, I can recognize it, and I can give analysis and treatment from the level of psychology, and I am a professional in this regard." Wen Yan explained.

"I think you can get treatment first." Lin Wanqing joked.

"Why do you say that? I suspect I have a mental problem, but I'm a psychiatrist. Wen Yan laughed.

"What does it have to do with whether you're a psychiatrist or not? Who says psychiatrists don't have mental illness? Lin Wanqing asked rhetorically.

"If I have a problem, people in the company won't be able to see it? They are all for psychological counseling. Wen Yan said with a smile.

"They may not tell you if they see it, who cares about you, and they are afraid to say it and touch your bad head. Even if you're gay, it doesn't affect their work. Lin Wanqing retorted.

"What do you say, the more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes. I've been talked about a lot, and you're adding fuel to the fire. Wen Yan said sensitively.

"I'm just describing it, others won't care so much about your emotional problems, except for using it as a talking material." Lin Wanqing said with a smile.

"Alas, what a terrible thing people say." Wen Yan sighed.

"Then you should put this on the agenda." Lin Wanqing suggested.

"What's on the agenda?" Wen Yan asked.

"Find a good man to marry." Lin Wanqing said with a happy smile.

"I found out that you know a lot about humor." Wen Yan stared at Lin Wanqing and smiled.

"You are only allowed to make fun of others, not others." Lin Wanqing put away her smile and said.

"Of course not, my face is like an iron wall, I can make fun of me, as long as you are happy." Wen Yan laughed at himself.

"Why don't you want to find someone to marry in a down-to-earth manner?" Lin Wanqing asked casually.

"How do you know I haven't thought about it? I've been alone for too long and used to it. Wen Yan responded.

"If you don't try, how do you know if two people are together, you won't like it?" Lin Wanqing persuaded.

You're right, but the cost of trial and error is too high. I've been lonely for a long time, and I feel that I can't fall in love anymore, and I don't dare to take action. Wen Yan confessed.

"That's because you haven't met anyone who makes you get carried away, maybe you've never been in a relationship at all." Lin Wanqing guessed.

"When I was in school, I started to fall in love, and when I was working, I started to go on blind dates, and they all ended up without a problem. Later, I found that I had low self-esteem and had nothing, so I wanted to build a career first, and after I had a career, I found that I was past the age of love. Wen Yan said slowly.

"I didn't expect your love history to be so rich." Lin Wanqing was surprised.

"Who doesn't have a few passages in the past. Don't you? Wen Yan said casually.

"I'm different from you, I know it's impossible, so I'm too lazy to think about it." Lin Wanqing blushed slightly and said, Wen Yan didn't know what bothered her, and she was not in a hurry to ask clearly, now the conversation between the two is very close to that between friends, and I believe it will get better and better.

The meal was cooked, and the two had a beautiful dinner together. Wen Yan waited in the study, Lin Wanqing cleaned up the kitchen and went to the study.

"Is there anything else going on today?" Lin Wanqing asked.

"Let's read, start now. What books do you usually read? Wen Yan motioned for Lin Wanqing to sit down and said.

"I've only read a few classical classics back and forth, and some Tang and Song poems." Lin Wanqing said shyly.

"I think so. You're going to start reading something different today. See the bookshelves on this wall? All the above books have contributed to my career, and the essence of 'Aishe' is in every internal column I write, "The Magic of Love", and all my thoughts, solutions to problems, and skills to deal with problems are the inspiration of this book, so that I continue to carry out thought experiments. I'm going to re-read the books on this wall, there are books from different subjects, and you have them to read for me, and even if you have read them, please revisit them. Wen Yan said seriously.

"Let's get started." Lin Wanqing didn't mind and repulsed, and immediately agreed.

"Let's start with the novel and experience different emotions subjectively." Wen Yan pointed to a book on the table and said.

Lin Wanqing picked up the book and looked at it, it was Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, published by Shanghai Translation Publishing House, and then asked, "Do you want to read this?" ”

"Yes. Have you read it? Wen Yan asked.

"I've heard of it, but I haven't read it. It's a romance novel, right? Lin Wanqing said as she flipped through the book.

"I can't seem to refute that it's romantic, but it's far beyond what people usually think of as romance, it's full of practical significance and cultural characteristics, and it will also have guiding significance for your girls' view of love and marriage. It's easy to read, and it's engaging. If you read on, I'm sure you'll love it. Wen Yan said.

"Do you want to read the text directly?" Lin Wanqing turned to the preface of the translation and asked.

"Just read the preface today." Wen Yan said.

"Where to start with Jane Austen? The famous English writer Virginia Woolf famously said, 'Of all the great writers, Jane Austen is the most difficult to catch in the moment of greatness.' Lin Wanqing began to read carefully. Wen Yan lay on the chair and closed his eyes and listened attentively, until Lin Wanqing thought he was asleep, raised her voice and read the last two paragraphs: "Throughout "Pride and Prejudice", it can be said that Austen has profoundly exposed the material reasons that determine the marriage relationship, and even all human relationships, but this kind of exposure, in this comic world novel, is not fierce, not sentimental, not morally indignant, not cynical, but mocking. Austen's sarcasm permeates the entire book, playing a key role in the characterization and the soul of the narrative. But this kind of ridicule is not a play on words, nor does it go around in circles on abstract characters, but revolves around the revelation of people's real relationships.

In short, the depth of observation and the eloquent irony of Pride and Prejudice are condensed into a masterpiece of realism that shines with comedic brilliance, and is no slouch in the ranks of the world's most famous works. After reading the book, Lin Wanqing tiptoed to Wen Yan, wanting to see if he was really asleep, so she approached Wen Yan's face, Wen Yan suddenly opened her eyes, and for a moment, Lin Wanqing immediately turned around and sat down, very ashamed.

"Do you think I'm asleep?" Wen Yan sat up and said with a smile.

"Not so sure." Lin Wanqing said.

"Listen." Wen Yan said, repeating the last two paragraphs that Lin Wanqing read just now, from beginning to end.

"You can never forget it!" Lin Wanqing said in surprise.

"I don't have that special skill, and my memory is not very good." Wen Yan said with a calm smile.

"And how do you remember that?" Lin Wanqing said strangely.

"Just like the classical classics, Tang and Song poems that you read repeatedly, this is also a good book worth reading repeatedly, I have read it many times, so I remember it." Wen Yan said with a smile.

"You've read them all over, why do you want me to read them to you?" Lin Wanqing said angrily.

"As I just said, some books are worth reading repeatedly, and listening to you read them doesn't seem to have the same flavor as what I read, which is quite interesting. And you haven't read it yet, you have to read it, and working by my side means keeping the same mind as me, not to mention that reading is beneficial and harmless, and maybe there are unexpected gains. Wen Yan said with a smile.

After the conversation, Lin Wanqing went back to rest, Wen Yan went out, and Lin Wanqing didn't ask him what to do. Early the next morning, Lin Wanqing got up early and was about to go buy breakfast, but she bumped into Wen Yan coming in with breakfast.

"Why are you so early every day?" Lin Wanqing wondered.

"'Mo Daojun walks early, and there are more early pedestrians', the early bird has worms to eat." Wen Yan chanted.

"Early worms are eaten by birds." Lin Wanqing said casually, Wen Yan laughed, handed the breakfast to Lin Wanqing, and asked her to take it to eat. He picks up flowers and plants in the yard and feeds the fish in the tank.

"What time to get out?" Lin Wanqing finished breakfast and came to the courtyard to ask Wen Yandao.

"How do you know you're going out?" Wen Yan asked with a smile.

"Guess." Lin Wanqing replied.

"It's getting more and more tacit, 'the heart is clear'." Wen Yan said happily.

"What nonsense. Is there anything to look out for? Clothing or something? Lin Wanqing asked carefully.

"Casual clothes are fine, preferably looser sportswear, and we're going to an event, a very physically demanding activity." Wen Yan reminded.

"What activity?" Lin Wanqing asked.

"You'll know when you get there." Wen Yan pretended to be a mysterious way.

The two went back to change their clothes and went out together.

"What are you doing when you go out so early in the morning and so late in the evening?" Lin Wanqing still couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.

"There were few people during these two periods, so I went to the nearby swimming pool to swim." Wen Yan replied.

"Then you really like to swim." Lin Wanqing said casually.

"I think swimming is the best form of exercise, at least not for me. I sometimes wonder if I was a fish in my previous life, but I like to swim so much in this life. Wen Yan said with a smile.

"No wonder you have a bad memory, it turns out that you belong to a fish." Lin Wanqing teased.

"I'm seeing that we're getting more and more alike." Wen Yan heard some funny words from Lin Wanqing and said happily.

"Who is like you, I have a good memory." Lin Wanqing argued.

"I don't say memory, I mean hobbies, words, or anything else waiting to be discovered." Wen Yan said with interest.

"I don't want to be like you, living a retirement life in advance." Lin Wanqing said bluntly.

"You think my life is like retirement? Why? Wen Yan was quite surprised.

"Don't you think? Your life is very regular, the pace of work is slow, raising flowers, growing grass, feeding fish, reading, exercising, isn't it very similar to the retired elderly? Lin Wanqing commented.

"Do you think I'm old?" Wen Yan asked.

"The face is not old." Lin Wanqing replied.

"Does a healthy lifestyle have to be for the elderly? I see, because young people are not like this, they are either exhausted or they are sexually indulgent. If I am classified as an old man because I cannot be with them, it is an obvious logical error, and I cannot agree with it. I have my own cultural beliefs and my own habits, which is my pursuit, not to get by. Wen Yan said seriously.

"I'm just talking about it, you're too serious." Lin Wanqing smiled.

"I've sensed the crisis from you, so I'm sensitive to everything I say the same thing." Wen Yan said with a smile.

"What do I have that makes you feel in danger?" Lin Wanqing said confusedly.

"Because you're so young." Wen Yan said frankly.

"I still envy you for having such experience and ability, as you said, people can't have everything." Lin Wanqing said with relief.

"I feel so much better when you say that." Wen Yan said with a smile.

"You're trying to find a balance." Lin Wanqing also smiled.

"Can you swim?" Wen Yan asked Lin Wanqing.

"No, it won't." Lin Wanqing replied.

"Want to learn?" Wen Yan asked with a smile.

"You don't want to pull me to swim with you, do you?" Lin Wanqing guessed.

"I have such a good workout, I have to share it." Wen Yan excused.

"I'm going to think about it." Lin Wanqing hesitated.

"It's okay, never force it. I also have a suggestion, when you communicate with me at work in the future, you should speak faster, at least twice as fast as usual, and if you like to listen to books, I also recommend that you speak faster. Wen Yan said seriously.

"Why?" Lin Wanqing said unexpectedly.

"It's very simple, save time, do things in one minute and do things in two minutes, doesn't you get more time? Don't worry about whether slowing down will affect the listening content, science confirms that it will not, but it will make people grasp the main point. It's so magical, you might as well try it. Wen Yan explained.

"Okay." Lin Wanqing nodded, thinking about how many things Wen Yan had in his head.

Coming to a school-like place, Wen Yan parked the car and took it

Lin Wanqing walked to the door.
