Soon after moving to the new school building, the school was closed for the summer.

As soon as the summer vacation ended, Hu Zhanyong went back to his hometown in Tianjin, and Chen Wenhai was the only one left in the bedroom. After reading the book for a while, he wanted to go around the school, so he walked towards the school.

When he was halfway there, he happened to meet Feng Baobaoyu.

Feng Baoyu asked Chen Wenhai:

"Are you going to school?"

Chen Wenhai nodded.

"My dormitory has been moved to the school, in a small room next to the hallway. How about I'm going to sit for a while? ”

"Okay."

"Then let's go together."

In order to cut corners, the two of them walked down an alley towards the school.

"Just now, I met Zhang Xuemei." Feng Baoyu said.

"Why hasn't she returned to her hometown yet? She's not going back? ”

"She came back to get something, but she left the key in the dormitory again."

"What then?"

"She had no choice but to look for me, so I jumped in the window and opened the door."

"Isn't her dormitory on the second floor? How did you get in? ”

"I climbed in through the second-floor window, and I found a ladder. When I went in and opened the door, she was very grateful and said that I had helped her a lot! ”

"This can't be regarded as a big help, it can only be said to be a small favor for her!"

"There was a spark in her eyes when she thanked me! I could tell she wanted me to sleep with her! ”

"How can you say that about her?" Chen Wenhai's eyes were on fire, "Is Zhang Xuemei the kind of girl you imagined?" It's you who want to dominate her, and because she tried her best to resist you and didn't succeed, you became angry! ”

"I'm kidding you!" Feng Baoyu said with a hippie smile.

"You'd better not make such jokes in the future!" After a while, Chen Wenhai said to him again: "What I wonder is: why didn't she go to Huang Jianhua? Aren't the two of them good? ”

"Who knows?" Feng Baoyu smiled faintly, "Maybe it's because the two of them are having trouble now!" Feng Baoyu took out a pack of cigarettes from his coat pocket, handed one to Chen Wenhai, lit it for him, then took out another one and lit it for himself, took a puff, and said unhurriedly: "Actually, the two of them are not suitable at all!" ”

"Why do you say that?"

"You still don't understand that? Huang Jianhua is a disabled person, how could Zhang Xuemei marry him? Feng Baoyu continued: "Huang Jianhua is bent on letting Zhang Xuemei marry him, he must have taken the wrong medicine!" ”

"Huang Jianhua should be very clear about his own conditions! He's so whimsical! ”

"He still thinks he's an able-bodied person!" Feng Baoyu took a puff of cigarette, and then continued: "Relying on Qu Ying to support him, Xie Rundong, Gao Lanhua, and Jiao Juhua sympathize with him and treat themselves as fragrant dumplings!" ”

By this time, the two of them had arrived at the school.

Feng Baoyu pointed to the fourth floor, "That hut of mine is there." Let's go and see my cottage go! ”

So, the two of them walked to the fourth floor.

"I just listened to what you meant, it seems that someone supported and instigated Huang Jianhua to chase Zhang Xuemei."

"Huang Jianhua and Qu Ying have a good relationship! Qu Ying thinks: Huang Jianhua is the pillar of our school! ”

"No wonder Qu Ying cares about him so much! But I think it's not easy for Qu Ying to pinch Huang Jianhua and Zhang Xuemei together. ”

"Who's to say it isn't? First of all, Zhang Xuemei is unwilling to marry Huang Jianhua! ”

"You know that, too? I thought you didn't know that! ”

"I can even guess! It's lice on a bald man's head - obviously! ”

The two of them climbed to the fourth floor. Feng Baoyu took out the key from his trouser pocket and opened the door, then stood against the wall and spread out his right hand and said to Chen Wenhai, "Please come in!" ”

After Chen Wenhai entered the house, Feng Baoyu also entered the house.

"This house is small and simple, and it makes you smile!" Feng Baoyu said crepe: "I live in a humble house, and now that you are here, I will make Peng Shen shine!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Chen Wenhai couldn't help laughing, "I can't imagine that you, the teacher who teaches middle school mathematics, will be like the literati in ancient times!" You're more like a middle school Chinese teacher! ”

"Where, where! In front of you, a middle school Chinese teacher, I am simply a class axe! Feng Baoyu took out two cups, brewed two cups of tea, and put one of the cups in front of Chen Wenhai, "Please drink tea!" ”

"Thank you!" Chen Wenhai hurriedly said.

"Recently, I see that your relationship with Zhang Xuemei seems to be very good!"

Chen Wenhai smiled.

"Some time ago, I saw that you two didn't speak, why is that?"

"I can't say a word or two!"

"Some people say you have changed your mind!"

"Do you believe such baseless words?"

"I'm skeptical!"

"Am I the kind of lover who says he will change his mind?"

"Are there still few lovers among you Shanghai men? Shanghai Tang used to be the world of foreigners, and you Shanghai men were spoiled by foreigners! During the Republic of China, Shanghai was divided into concessions by foreigners, does the district where your home is located also belong to the concession? ”

"I don't know! When I was born, Shanghai had been liberated for several years! ”

"Can I ask your father! Didn't your dad come all the way from that era? I heard that when your dad was young, he ate very well in Shanghai, mingled with singers and dancers all day long, and made a fortune on the bright lights and drunken Shanghai Tang! Your dad was like a fish in water on the beach in Shanghai in the 30s! Don't you envy him? At that time, your father was handsome and chic, and the little girl in Shanghai named Wang Chunlan fell in love with your father and wanted to marry him! What I don't understand is: Wang Chunlan is the daughter of a big capitalist, how could she fall in love with your poor father! ”

"You should ask my daddy!" Chen Wenhai said with a grin.

"Can I ask? I don't know him! Feng Baoyu spat Xingzi, "But it doesn't matter, don't I know you?" I can get to know him through you! Honestly, I really want to turn back the clock so that I can go back to that dreamlike era with your father, go to the bar for brandy or whiskey, go to the café for coffee, and feel the drunken dreams of that era! In the summer, the two of us can go to the beach together to blow the sea breeze and drink beer! ”

"Your imagination is quite rich!" Chen Wenhai couldn't help laughing, "You hillbilly is yearning for the erosive life of big cities, especially the international metropolis of Shanghai, which makes you salivate!" Chen Wenhai gushed endlessly: "In the 30s, Shanghai Tang was full of lights and drunken gold, and it was known as the Paris of the East, the Ten Mile Ocean Field and the Paradise of Adventurers!" At that time, there were trams and rickshaws in Shanghai, and the trams "jingle bells" rang all the way on Nanjing Road, and the rickshaws sat the lord, wife, young master, and miss! At night, the neon lights flicker, and the night sea turns into a sea of colorful lights! Shanghai Beach at night is so charming! Anyone who has been to the Bund at night will be enchanted by the stunning scenery of Shanghai at night! In the 30s, Shanghai Tang was mixed, and there were all kinds of people, especially Feng Jingyao, Feng Chengcheng, and Fang Yanyun! They were the most popular people on the beach in that era! They were dominant, and they were in the limelight on Shanghai Tang in that era! Feng Jingyao, a tycoon in Shanghai's industrial and commercial circles, calls for wind and rain, and sometimes what he says is more effective than the mayor! If he gets angry like a roaring lion, if he stomps his feet, the ground in Shanghai will tremble! Fang Yanyun, the first courtesan on Shanghai Beach, is greased and powdered all day long, and she is full of jewels! She shook her lips and tongue in various social places, left and right, and made many men fall under her pomegranate skirt! My father, Chen Hualin, once lived in such an era. ”

"You're showing off your big Shanghai in front of me again!" Feng Baoyu spat on the ground, "I hate you Shanghai little deflated three!" Little red guy, don't be so angry in front of me, sooner or later I will throw you into the Huangpu River to feed the fish! ”

"Do you have what it takes? You hillbilly, if you get to Shanghai, I'm afraid you'll be dizzy! Do you know how many roads there are in Shanghai? The streets and alleys are as dense as cobwebs, and if you go, you are a small fish, and those fishermen can easily catch your little fish! ”

"Don't be rampant in front of you!" Feng Baoyu bared his teeth and shouted: "I know Wang Zhiyuan and Zhu Zhenhua, both of them are my friends, as long as I speak, the two of them will gather a group of little minions to clean you up and beat you all over the ground to find your teeth!" ”

"You're a ruffian!" Chen Wenhai smiled contemptuously, "If you were born in Shanghai in the 30s, you would definitely fall at the feet of Wang Jinrong and be his apprentice!" ”

"You don't talk to me about these useless things!" Feng Baoyu calmed down the anger in his heart, and changed to a hippie smile, and said to Chen Wenhai with a smile: "Do you have a crush on other girls in your heart?" Do you still have contact with that Zhang Peony? Didn't she work at the axle factory? You didn't go to see her? ”

"Do I have to report back to you if I don't go to see her?"

"Don't lose your temper! Don't I care about you? ”

"Thank you for your concern!" Chen Wenhai glanced at Feng Baoyu, "Do you have ulterior motives for pretending to care about me so much?" Do you want to say that I'm still thinking about Zhang Peony, and I'm not sincere to Zhang Xuemei, just playing with her! Seeing that Feng Baoyu was about to speak, he hurriedly stopped: "Don't talk yet, you can speak when I finish speaking!" At this moment, Chen Wenhai felt very heavy, he frowned and said: "To tell you the truth, what I really like is indeed Zhang Peony, but she is married after all!" So, when Zhang Xuemei broke into my life, I couldn't help myself! ”

"I don't understand what you're saying!" Feng Baoyu waved his hand impatiently, "This conversation between the two of us is over for the time being!" ”

"Don't be busy giving the eviction order, I still have something to say to you!"

"What else do you want to say?"

"You'd better not show the peony in front of Xuemei in the future!"

"Why?"

"Lest she misunderstand!"

"What misunderstanding could it be?"

"Thought I was half-hearted with her!"

"What the hell is going on with you two? It's good for a while, it's bad for a while, and it's all messing us up! ”

"How can I tell you?" Chen Wenhai smiled awkwardly, "Some time ago, there was a misunderstanding between me and her!" ”

"You're in a relationship with a girl named Li Yafang right now, is there such a thing?"

"It can't be called falling in love!" Chen Wenhai was even more embarrassed, so he lied: "I am college classmates with her!" ”

"I heard that she is also from Shanghai."

"Yes." Chen Wenhai said distressedly: "Actually, what I really love in my heart now is ......"

"Is it Cao Xiaoyan?"

"You really guessed it right!" Chen Wenhai continued: "Zhang Xuemei doesn't understand the situation and mistakenly thinks I'm playing with her feelings!" In a fit of rage, she said a lot of nasty things to others, and when these nasty words reached my ears, I almost fainted! I couldn't help but cry bitterly when I lost control of my emotions, and I was distorted by people with ulterior motives, saying that my momentary gaffe was a scoundrel! I really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it! My reputation is completely finished! ”

"It's useless for you to tell me this!"

"That day, I felt so uncomfortable that I thought I was going to see Lord Yama! Almost all of them didn't understand what happened that day, and it hurt me! Really, I've been so disappointed since that incident that I've been so disappointed that even though I don't like the people I've introduced me, I've been so bold with them! Chen Wenhai said seriously: "It is never easy to really fall in love with someone, and once you really fall in love with someone, it is not easy to forget her, and it can even be said that it is impossible!" ”

"......" Feng Baoyu smiled after hearing this.

"What are you laughing at? Am I not right? ”

"......" Feng Baoyu smiled again.

"Why don't you just laugh and don't speak?"

"......" Feng Baoyu still laughed.

"I won't tell you!" Chen Wenhai was very annoyed, "Do you think I'm ridiculous?" ”

"......" Feng Baoyu still didn't speak, but opened the lid to drink tea.

"Alas——!" Chen Wenhai let out a long sigh.

Chen Wenhai left Feng Baoyu's hut sullenly.

Chen Wenhai had a fire in his heart and thought, "I really saw a ghost today!" ”

Yes, this world is indeed very complicated, and there are too many people like Feng Weimin! It is impossible for them to understand Chen Wenhai's true feelings for Zhang Xuemei, and they will never be able to understand it! In their eyes, Chen Wenhai's words and deeds are ridiculous, and they even think that Chen Wenhai's words and deeds are a manifestation of abnormal nerves!

This world is too cold, for more than 20 years, in love, marriage and family issues, Chen Wenhai has suffered more setbacks and blows than one time again, making him gradually see the true face of the world!

In the face of lost love, Chen Wenhai had no choice, so in 1997, he resolutely chose to divorce and began the difficult process of fighting for his career!
