Xia Zhen calmly told the story of Xia Baiping and Zheng Fan:

"When I finally met Zheng Fan, I knew that he was still the same affectionate and romantic poet I had back then. Back then, he did not hesitate to gamble his life for love. Now, for the sake of love, he is willing to give up everything he has accumulated in half his life.

Back then, no one could shake him for any reason. Nowadays, there is no reason to stop him.

Sure enough, he was very resolute and filed for divorce. He can leave the house without any savings, real estate, and all common property.

Xiaoping was forced to the edge of the cliff and resorted to all means. Fighting, threatening, and complaining to school leaders, I don't think I need to elaborate, you can imagine Zheng Fan's situation now.

But even if his job is about to be lost, his reputation is ruined, and everyone is talking about it, he still insists on divorce.

I had a deep conversation with Zheng Fan once, and I asked him why he stayed in a hotel instead of just living with you. He said that he is selfishly pulling you into the mud and that the only thing he can do for you is to give you a clean future.

I finally no longer have any illusions about their marriage, his greatest merit is the persistence, passion, and fearlessness of love, but when he does not love someone, this is also the most decisive cruelty.

That night, I persuaded Xiaoping to let it go, but she didn't want to face it, saying that she would never divorce even if she died.

I thought she was just talking, but I didn't expect that she really committed suicide by taking sleeping pills while I was asleep. She left a suicide note and would never divorce even if she died.

I informed Zheng Fan that he was now in the hospital with Xiaoping.

And I, I have no choice but to come to you, to ask you, quit, and to save my sister's life. ”

Zhang Nanyan was shocked by Xia Baiping's madness, and also deeply sympathized with Xia Baiping, feeling guilty. But now that there is a person who is fighting for her and the whole world, what right does she have to back down?

She said to Xia Zhen guiltily, "I'm sorry. It's me who I'm sorry Mr. Xia...... However, I couldn't quit and I followed Mr. Zheng's decision. ”

Xia Zhen sighed and left helplessly.

Zhang Nanyan spent another half month in torment.

These days, she is condemned by her conscience all the time, she has made the biggest mistake and deserves to be scolded by everyone, and she even prayed that Zheng Fan could choose to return to Xia Baiping.

On the other hand, she inevitably still has a trace of extravagance, after all, she loves Teacher Zheng, if she has never had it, then she can die. However, she obviously has the best love in the world, happiness is close at hand, and the tips of her fingers have touched the edge of happiness, which is the only dream she has suffered and insisted on pursuing!

She wants to be happy, too!

Zhang Nanyan selfishly decided that as long as Zheng Fan didn't give up, she would stick to the end! Even if she is destined to be scolded by the world and bear a lifetime of infamy, she will never back down!

In the end, however, she broke her word.

Half a month later, Zheng Fan finally came to see her, although he was tired and thin, he was overjoyed. As soon as they met, he hugged Zhang Nanyan tightly and said continuously: "I'm free, we can finally be together." ”

It turned out that Xia Baiping threatened Zheng Fan with suicide, and Zheng Fan felt guilty when he found out, and immediately rushed to the hospital to take care of Xia Baiping. He took care of him without complaint, but he never agreed to get back together. Xia Baiping cried, smashed things, scolded him and beat him, and he endured it in silence.

Gradually, Xia Baiping had no choice anymore, and with Xia Zhen's persuasion, Xia Baiping's heart was like ashes and she agreed to divorce.

She decided to follow her sister back to Canada to live after the divorce and leave here completely.

Xia Baiping's body recovered and was discharged from the hospital, but she didn't know how long and in what month her psychological trauma would heal.

Zheng Fan skipped these things lightly in a few words, but even if he didn't say it, Zhang Nanyan could imagine how thrilling things were. His emaciated face and tired spirit all illustrate the pressure and guilt he has endured these days.

"You sit down for a while, and I'll cook."

"Okay, I'm really hungry."

When Zhang Nanyan cooked as fast as she could, and came to ask Zheng Fan to eat, she saw that Zheng Fan was already lying on the bed and falling asleep.

He was lying under the bed with one leg hanging and his elbows in his arms, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Zhang Nan couldn't bear to wake him up, so he gently helped him take off his shoes, put his legs flat on the bed, and then pulled the quilt to help him cover it.

Zhang Nanyan sat on the edge of the bed and quietly looked at the sleeping Zheng Fan.

She couldn't believe that she was really about to have a happy life?

She thinks a lot, including that after getting married, she will be a virtuous wife and create the warmest family for him. She will take care of his life and make him eat well, dress well, and rest well. She will respect him, love him, and make up for his loneliness for more than ten years.

Is this true? Isn't it a dream?

She was suddenly afraid, afraid that all this was just an illusion.

No, it's true, he's right in front of his eyes.

This night, Zhang Nanyan was worried for a while, smirked for a while, and looked at Zheng Fan stupidly all night. It wasn't until dawn that she was finally extremely sleepy and fell asleep on the edge of the bed.

Before she slept for two hours, she woke up with a spirit, and the first thing she did was to reach out and touch it in a panic. Touching Zheng Fan's warm hand and seeing that he was still asleep, Zhang Nanyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Nanyan's movements alarmed Zheng Fan, he opened his eyes in a daze, and shouted: "Little Swallow." ”

"I'm here, you can sleep again."

Zheng Fan was really sleepy, and he was exhausted for a month, but at this time he finally felt at ease and couldn't wake up.

He vaguely answered, his eyelids closed.

Zhang Nanyan looked at her watch, it was seven o'clock, she got up and washed, planning to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

Out of the door, she walked easily towards the vegetable market.

The vegetable seller in the vegetable market, who was familiar with her, greeted her from afar: "Girl, there are fresh bamboo shoots today, can you have some?" ”

Zhang Nanyan selected white and tender bamboo shoots, yellow-orange-orange carrots, and oily green vegetables, filled several bags for the eldest sister to weigh.

"People are in good spirits at happy events, little girl, this is a good thing?" The eldest sister said happily.

Zhang Nanyan blushed embarrassedly and smiled, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

After buying vegetables, she bought fish, shrimp, and meat, and did not return home until she could no longer lift her hands.

Although the food in her hand was heavy, her steps were relaxed and joyful, because she was walking towards a happy future.

Just as Zhang Nanyan was about to walk downstairs, she suddenly stopped.

She saw that in front of her, there was a graceful and wealthy figure.

Xia Zhen faced Zhang Nanyan and smiled: "Xiao Zhang, hello." ”

"Hello." Zhang Nanyan didn't know how to face Xia Zhen, so after saying hello, she lowered her head and waited for Xia Zhen to speak.

"I think Zheng Fan must be at your residence."

Zhang Nanyan acquiesced.

"I came to you with a reluctant request, and I hope you can agree." Xia Zhen said.

"I'm sorry, I ...... I can't agree, I told you, I obeyed Mr. Zheng's decision, and since he chose me, I would not betray him. After Zhang Nanyan finished speaking, she lowered her head guiltily.

Xia Zhen said sincerely: "You misunderstood, I didn't come to convince you." I'm going to take my sister out of here and go back to Canada for treatment. In this hospitalization, the doctor has diagnosed that my sister has severe depression, and she will do all kinds of unreasonable behaviors because of depression, so I ask you not to blame her, this is not her intention. ”

The first time Zhang Nanyan heard the word depression, she never knew that a bad mood could also hurt people's lives.

Not only Zhang Nanyan, the society widely does not pay attention to mental health, or even ignores it, for depression patients, most people are dismissive, blaming them for having nothing to do, too idle to think cranky, and full of food, because of this, patients like Xia Baiping are not effectively treated, and eventually cause tragedy.

Fortunately, Xia Baiping was rescued, and with professional treatment and the company of her relatives, she will get better little by little.

"I'm sorry......" Zhang Nanyan felt very guilty, she didn't know what else to say except to apologize.

"It's not your fault, and it's not Zheng Fan's fault alone. If you want to blame it, blame fate. ”

"Fate?" Zhang Nanyan thought blankly: "I have always hated fate for being unfair to me, but it turns out that everyone has their own misfortunes...... Is this really to blame fate? ……”

Xia Zhen begged Zhang Nanyan to see Xia Baiping, saying that this was Xia Baiping's last wish before leaving.

Zhang Nanyan couldn't bear to refuse, so she had to agree and go to Xia Baiping's house with Xia Zhen.

When she arrived, she saw that the room was a little messy, and a woman who looked like a nanny was packing her luggage.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xia Zhen thanked the nanny.

The nanny waved her hand again and again and said, "It's nothing, Teacher Xia is also my sister-in-law after all, thanks to her and my brother helping me, I can earn money for my son to be admitted to university, I remember this great kindness." ”

Zhang Nanyan understood that it must be Mr. Zheng's relatives who asked him to take care of Xia Baiping.

The nanny glanced at Zhang Nanyan and felt very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

Xia Zhen said to Zhang Nanyan: "She's in the bedroom, you can go in." ”

Zhang Nanyan walked into the bedroom.

Xia Baiping sat quietly in front of the window, looking at the maple tree in front of the window.

It's the season of red maple leaves again, and the red leaves of the trees are falling scattered.

The scene in front of her made Zhang Nanyan feel like a world away.

The first time she walked into this home was in the late autumn season, and at that time, Xia Baiping also looked at the red leaves like this.

They also talked about the autumn leaves in their hometowns. Zhang Nanyan talked about the pentagonal maple in her hometown, and Xia Baiping recalled the sweet-as-honey maple sugar in the depths of her memory......

How could they have thought that in just one year, their relationship would turn into enemies.

Zhang Nanyan snatched Xia Baiping's husband and destroyed a family. At this moment, facing a poor betrayed wife, Zhang Nanyan was condemned by her conscience.

"I remember when I told you that my hometown is full of maple with compound leaves, and the sap from its trunk can be boiled into maple sugar, which is very sweet. Now, I'm going home. ”

Xia Baiping said faintly.

Her current state is very rational and calm, and she is like two people who were crazy before.

Xia Baiping turned her head and looked at Zhang Nanyan and smiled: "Don't be afraid, I've taken medicine, and I haven't been so sober for a long time." ”

"Teacher Xia, I'm sorry." Zhang Nanyan muttered.

"I don't blame you, I blame me, I brought you together." Xia Baiping's voice was full of regret: "I know Zheng Fan, he likes you, but he won't do anything deviant." You're a good boy too, and if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be together even if you had a crush on each other. Alas, there is no regret medicine in the world, I can only accept it. ”

Xia Baiping said calmly: "I called you here, just to say what is in my heart, although you broke up my family, I feel that you are the only one who will understand me." Would you like to listen to a very old-fashioned, long-ago story? ”
