Chen Ran

After a big fight with Xiaojuan last night, I curled up on the sofa in the living room all night. Xiaojuan is right, it is the first time we have quarreled like this for so many years of marriage, and it is the first time that I have been so angry with her. In fact, I myself feel strange, it's not the first time I've met Xiaojuan, she has always been strong, willful, suspicious, impulsive and doesn't care about anyone, I used to think that girls would be a little bit of a temper, so I tried to be tolerant, but yesterday I heard her talk about Yue'er so unbearable, and even put those superstitious things on her, I can no longer control my emotions. In hindsight, with Xiaojuan's usual personality, it is not surprising that she did this, not to mention that the brand will not cause any actual personal harm to Yue'er, am I also making a bit of a fuss? But when I thought of Yue'er, because she took into account my feelings, she didn't say a word about Xiaojuan's helplessness in the face of Xiaojuan, and even took care of her diet carefully and thoughtfully, but the latter was kind enough to treat her as a donkey, and her eyebrows flew and danced, just because of a few words of nonsense from the fortune teller! I really felt indignant in my heart, Xiaojuan, how could she still give away such a thing to others with false intentions, it was really too much!

Scratching my head irritably, I scrambled to my feet and walked out to the balcony in my slippers, the sky was still gray, and a crescent moon hung obliquely on the horizon, and I was so sleepy that I was about to sink into the halo of dawn. Not far away, a star was surprisingly bright, as if unwilling to be buried by the morning light, and tried its last strength to shine a little light and heat. I took out a cigarette and lit it, and the smoke quickly drifted away in the cool wind, but I was not sleepy. Although I have always been dismissive of Feng Shui numerology, the fortune-telling words that Xiaojuan said last night seemed to express what I have been trying to do in my heart this year, but it is just about Yue'er, how can I admit it; What's more, I am just a brother who is silently waiting for her, because of my marriage, because of the moral bondage deeply rooted in each other's hearts, I have been trying my best to suppress myself to pierce that layer of paper. I have been so restrained and patient, can I still not escape the warning of fate?

Why? As soon as I decided to take a step closer to Yue'er, the reality seemed to show an unbelievable situation, and it shouted at me to stop. Is this a hint? Is it a warning? Did my encounter with Yue'er know that it was a creation to make people, or was there some unpredictable danger ahead that wanted to uproot the unformed seeds in my heart? Yue'er and I don't even have the opportunity to be by each other's side in the name of brother and sister?

Taking a deep puff of my cigarette, I wiped my face, the dry texture of my rough skin rubbing against my palm, making a grinding sound. The moonlight fades in the sky, and the morning light oozes a glimmer or two after the dark clouds are stacked, and then slowly joins together, like golden graffiti on the inky blue curtain, scattered and casual. A new day has come, but I seem to have arrived in another world, yesterday and today, but in just a dozen hours, my mind has been confused beyond recognition, I and Xiaojuan, and Yue'er, in the case of anything out of the ordinary has not happened, has given birth to wisps of entanglement, making people hesitate, making people sigh. It's like this beautiful scenery at this time, far away in the sky but close in front of me, but I can only live up to it.

I don't know if Yue'er knew about the peach blossom chopping, she must not know, otherwise how could she accept it by listening to Xiaojuan's nonsense. But should I tell her? Tell her to throw away the hoodoo, tell her not to believe in the superstition of Feng Shui? But how can I open my mouth and tell her that my wife has a grudge against you? Is it because you think you and I have a great relationship? The wooden sign she gave you is actually a cursed thing, so that you can never make a sound and stay away from me?

Is this possible?

Regardless of the complexity of this, it is difficult to explain clearly, even if it can be broken down, Xiaojuan, she is my wife after all, where do I put her if I do this? Yes, her actions and secret thoughts are indeed despicable, but am I very open? If I didn't really have thoughts about Yue'er, why would I care so much about her words and deeds, and even don't hesitate to fight with words? Isn't it precisely because Xiaojuan's encounter and unintentional retelling touched the most secret nerve in my heart, which makes me feel a nervousness and fear that something I am desperately trying to cover up will be exposed, in the final analysis, it's just that I dare not face myself as a thief!

Alas! I, Chen Ran, have always been open-minded, but I didn't expect to be like this!

The cigarette butt between my fingers had already burned out, but I didn't realize it, and when there was a faint movement in the bedroom behind me, I suddenly came back to my senses, threw away the cigarette butt that was already yellow and black, and turned around and walked into the living room.

The shattering of the house is still the same as last night, reminding me all the time that only a few hours ago, there was an unprecedented dispute here, and my marriage to Xiaojuan, because of this unexpected farce, and the two people in it about those ethereal but true fate feng shui, let the undercurrent under the calm lake gush out without shelter, rushing into a river.

I couldn't bear to see it anymore, so I brought a broom and a dustpan and prepared to clean up the wreckage. At a glance, I caught a glimpse of the peach blossom chop that was kicked and scattered in the corner under the table, the gourd on it had fallen off, and it rolled on the ground with a light touch, the gourd, "Fulu", people say "home and everything is prosperous", Xiaojuan and I are at odds with each other, how can there be any blessing and what Lu, shook his head, sighed, and used a broom to chop the two peach blossoms into a pile and throw them into the trash. The bedroom door suddenly opened, Xiaojuan was carrying a suitcase in one hand and a phone call in the other, and said without looking at me: "Wang Hao?" I'm Yao Xiaojuan, help me book a hotel room for tonight and a plane ticket back to H city tomorrow afternoon."

“…… Um..., um......, I don't live on Chen Ran's side, well, I'll leave after Guo Kai's wedding banquet at noon tomorrow," Xiaojuan looked indifferent, and there was no temperature in her voice, "You can arrange for the driver to give me a ride when you arrive, and if you can't arrange it, help me find a car...... Okay, that's all," he said, put away the phone, and turned around to leave.

"Where are you going?" I couldn't help but ask her.

Xiaojuan glanced back at me, didn't make any answer, just stumbled to get dressed and change shoes, and regarded me as nothing.

"Yao Xiaojuan, let me ask where you are going?!" I shouted at a loud voice. 、

Xiaojuan's back was obviously stagnant, she was silent for a while, and replied without looking back, "Didn't you hear the phone?" I'm going to stay in a hotel. I'll go back to H City tomorrow afternoon. Her voice was not loud, but it was cold and unforgiving like ever.

As soon as I heard it, the fire didn't hit anywhere, and I shouted at her back, "How long are you going to make trouble?!" ”

"What am I going to make trouble until when?!" Xiao Juan put her luggage on the ground, turned around and said angrily, "Did I make a fuss?" I've been talking well, where am I making trouble?! You're alone from beginning to end, okay! Xiaojuan took a step closer to me, "For a few words of fortune telling, for an ordinary company employee, you are angry at me, you quarrel with me, you scold me for being selfish and cunning, and you even say that you have had enough of me for so many years!" …… You ask me how long I'm going to make trouble, and I want to ask you, what's wrong with you, what do you want, I've never seen you like this! Since you don't like me like this, I'm leaving, right?! Save yourself from being suspicious in front of you. I, Yao Xiaojuan, am not such an uninteresting person, and I don't want to look at other people's faces and act! With that, he turned around, picked up his luggage, and walked out.

I grabbed her, "Nonsense! Holding the door with the other hand, "You can't tell the time and the occasion?" Do you know what the whole company is busy with for Guo Kai's wedding tomorrow? Are you still going to make trouble for them at this time? Everyone knows that you live in my apartment, and you Hula Bar suddenly want to live in a hotel alone, what do you say when you ask everyone to look at it?! I turned to her, "And Guo Kai, I have repeatedly said that I want to thank you well, you will pat your ass and leave after a meal, what do you think?" Why are you always so self-conscious and don't care about others?! ”

"That's right! That's who I am! Did you find out today?! Xiaojuan shook off my hand, "Chen Ran, you've been talking for a long time, aren't you afraid that I will lose your face?" Let everyone know that our husband and wife quarreled, and you can't put your face down as a boss, right?! Xiaojuan sneered, "I'm not afraid, I, Yao Xiaojuan, have always been straightforward in doing things, and I won't be as hypocritical as you live!" Her eyes met my eyes hatefully, "I know it, I don't bother to care what others think, I live my own life, it's their business!" ”

"You're ......!" I was so angry that she couldn't speak, stretched out her hand to drag her again, but she pushed hard, I stumbled back a few steps, a corner of the coffee table, but there was a pain in the heart, raised my hand to see, a piece of porcelain plate fragments splashed on the coffee table deeply into the flesh, a moment of blood, ten fingers to the heart, I couldn't help but whisper, one butt sat on the sofa, gritted my teeth to support the pain, the other hand rummaged in the drawer next to the medicine box.

I didn't expect that I would be pushed down and injured by her, seeing my bleeding hands, Xiaojuan couldn't help but be stunned and stopped, but seeing that I quickly took out the alcohol tweezers tape and skillfully treated the wound, she picked up the luggage again, seemed to move her lips, but didn't say anything, and walked away without looking back.

Alas, it is still a day of husband and wife, Xiaojuan is so ruthless, it is really chilling.

I collapsed on the sofa and closed my eyes tiredly, in less than ten hours, Xiaojuan and I actually injured each other again and again, what did I do, I was still planning to get together with her today, why didn't I pay attention and look like this?

The mobile phone rang, I didn't look at it, I picked it up casually, but it was Wang Hao's phone, "Mr. Chen, my sister-in-law just called me to book a hotel room for her and a ticket back to H City tomorrow afternoon,...... This one...... This, huh,...... You know that, right? ”

"Hmm," I rubbed my swollen temples, my voice hoarse and weak, "you just do what she says." After speaking, he threw the phone on the table, exhaled heavily, let her go!
