Chapter 54: The Past of Separation

Before I reached the gate of the garden, I heard the latch of the door. It turned out that he was there and saw her in the dark!

"It's nice you're here so early." He said in the dark, "It's going well, right? ”

"It's so smooth."

He gently closed the gate behind her, flashlight to show her way. The faint light shines on the dark lane, and through the light, you can see that the white flowers are still blooming at night. They walked separately, silent.

"Are you sure you didn't hurt yourself when you pushed your wheelchair in the morning?" She asked.

"Nothing."

"Are there any sequelae of pneumonia?"

"Oh, nothing! It is that the heart strength is not enough, and the lung capacity is not large enough. Most people who have pneumonia are like this. ”

"So you shouldn't be violent?"

"You can't work that hard all the time."

She was silent and walked with a grunt.

"Do you hate Zhang Haifei?" She finally said.

"Hate him, don't! I've seen a lot of people like him, so I don't want to find my own anger. I knew in advance that I couldn't compete with someone like him, so I went with him. ”

"What kind of person is he?"

"Hey, you know better than I do. It's the kind of young gentleman, a little girly, and no eggs. ”

"What eggs?"

"Eggs, men's eggs!"

She was pondering the word.

"Is that the reason?" She asked, a little annoyed.

"When you say a man is stupid, you say he has no brains. When they say that he is poisonous, they say that he has no heart and liver. When it comes to his corpse, it is said that he has no guts. To say that he does not have the wild courage of a man is to say that he has no eggs, that is to say, he is tamed. ”

She pondered for a moment and asked, "Is Zhang Haifei also tamed?" ”

"Tamed, and disgusting, as soon as you rebel against him, he's like that, like most of his kind."

"Do you think you're untamed?"

"Maybe it's not that serious!"

Then she noticed a dim yellow light in the distance, and stopped.

"There are lights." She said.

"I didn't turn off the lights in the house when I came out." He said.

She walked beside him again, but she didn't catch him, so she couldn't tell why she wanted to go with him.

He unlocked the door and they entered the house, and he then bolted the door. She felt like a prison!

On the wall above his head hung an enlarged photograph of a young couple, clearly showing him and a young woman with an unruly face, undoubtedly his wife. Huang Siyao hates this photo.

"Is that you?" Huang Siyao asked.

He turned to look at the zoomed-in photo above his head.

"That's right! It was taken just before I got married, when I was in my twenties. He said as he looked at the picture expressionlessly.

"Like this picture?"

"Like? No! I've never liked this stuff. She took a picture of it, and just did it. Putting this photo can be regarded as a commemoration of youth. ”

As he spoke, he took off his boots again.

"If you don't like it, why do you want it to hang there? Maybe your wife wants to take it. ”

He looked at her, grinned suddenly, and said, "She took all the valuable things away, and left them behind." ”

"Then why did you keep it, is it because of sadness?"

"No, I never looked at it, and I barely knew it was hanging there, and we hung it up as soon as we got to this house."

"Then why didn't you burn it?" She asked.

He turned his head again to look at the large picture. The photograph is framed in a brown frame coated with gold dust, and the appearance is quite indecent. The photo shows Li Guangfu with a cleanly shaved beard and keen eyes, still a young man wearing a suit, not like a professional wedding photo, maybe it was not popular at that time. The resolute young woman beside him was a little bloated, with fluffy curls and a loose satin coat.

"That sounds like a good idea, doesn't it?" He said.

He took off his boots, put on his slippers, stood in his chair, and took off the photograph, revealing a large light-colored mark on the pale green wallpaper.

"There's no need to dust off the dirt." As he spoke, he leaned the frame against the wall.

Then he went to the washing room and got a hammer and pliers. He sat back down, tore off the paper on the back of the frame, and removed the studs that held the back lining in place. He is always immediately engaged and attentive when he gets to work.

He quickly pulled out all the nails, took out the liner on the back, and then took out the enlarged photograph attached to the cardboard. He looked at the picture with a gimmick and said:

"I was like that, like an elementary school teacher, and she was like that, like a. A pedant, a! ”

"Show me!" Huang Siyao said.

He really looked neat, a clean person, the same kind of young man with a clean face twenty years ago. But even in the photographs, his gaze is alert and untamed. And the woman was not so brutal, although her jaw was heavy, her appearance was quite moving.

"You can't keep this kind of thing," Huang Siyao said, "you shouldn't keep it!" It shouldn't have been photographed at all! ”

He tore the photo open on his knee, shattered it and threw it into the fire.

"If you don't get it right, you'll suffocate the fire." He said.

Then he carefully packed up the glass and liners and carried them upstairs. The frame shattered him with a few hammers, causing the plaster powder to spill. When he was done, he picked up the garbage and brought it to the washing room.

"Burn those things tomorrow," he said, "and there's too much plaster on them." ”

Sweeping the floor clean, he sat down.

"Have you ever loved your wife?" She asked.

"Love?" He asked, "Have you ever loved Boss Zhang?" ”

But Huang Siyao ignored his words and insisted on asking him: "But do you care about her?" ”

"Concern?" He smiled.

"Maybe you care about her now." She said.

"Me?" His eyes widened, "Oh no, I can't stand the thought of her. He said quietly.

"Why?"

He just shook his head and didn't answer.

"Then why don't you get a divorce? Otherwise she will come back to you one day. Huang Siyao said.

He looked at her keenly and said, "She won't be within a mile of me." She hates me more than I hate her. ”

"She'll come back to you, don't believe it."

"She wouldn't. It's long before we do! I was sick at the sight of her. ”

"But you'll still see her. There is no legal basis for your separation, right? ”

"Yes."

"That's bad, she'll be back, you've got to accept her."

He stared at Huang Siyao, then shook his head strangely and said, "You may be right. I would be foolish enough to come back to this place. But I didn't have a way out, so I had to find somewhere. A man wanders around, like a loser. But you're right, I have to get a divorce, and I'll leave it. I hate the courts and the judges and all that, but I have to deal with them. I'm going to get a divorce. ”
