After two years of failing to pass the English test and his MBA was completely lost, Mo Ren ended his half-hearted life, made up his mind to write behind closed doors, and finally got his wish to blend into the team of writers. With the word "young" on his head, he called himself "the chief scoop of the new and new humans", and in the years that followed, he quickly became famous at an unimaginable rate.

"We're souring you!" When Yu Zipei called to congratulate the publication of the new book, he accused him, "Quite a big person, a drop of dew fell on your face and thought it was tears?!" How dare you write. ”

"Readers love it." He was triumphant.

"The reader's teeth are also sore, and even a person as sour as me can't stand it."

"Who asked you to force me to say sour things when I was young, and now I can't change it, and it's uncomfortable if I don't say it."

"I'm forcing you? I was just unfortunate enough to be chosen by you to be the listener! Now that you're proud, you can not only talk to your heart's content, but you can also get money and love your readers. ”

"The important thing is the girl's affection."

"Yes, that's what you care about most."

"Don't worry, this is just a tentative work, see what kind of goods the readers are, and I still have the real value."

"I'll see."

After the reception that day, Mo Ren called.

"Why did you get mixed up with Qin Wuji again?"

"Didn't you know I was writing a script for their company?"

"It's boring to mix with someone so old."

"I'm working." Yu Zipei's anger is not in one place, he can always be angry with himself. Yu Zipei replied to him, "Besides, maybe I still like the old ones?!" ”

"I'll replace them sooner or later, just wait and see."

He talked to himself and didn't pay attention to Yu Zipei at all, he was always like this, that is, when he loved Yu Zipei the most, Yu Zipei had a feeling that he was enjoying himself and had nothing to do with him. In this regard, Qin Wuji is a hundred times cuter than him! Yu Zipei thought angrily, feeling faintly sad for some reason.

Mo Ren was twenty-eight years old, single, divorced, and had an inexplicable marriage for a year, which was a funny thing for everyone, and it was difficult to determine what Yu Zipei was for him, because he had many explanations for the matter.

The first time he explained to Yu Zipei that his novel needed an illustration of a marriage, he married the first girl he met at that time. A year later, when his novel was finished, he no longer needed marital status, so he divorced.

The second time he said that two months before that, he had proposed to Yu Zipei and was rejected, and he was pleased to hear that Yu Zipei was extremely shocked when he learned that he was married to a strange girl he had just met, and that his marriage was worth it. Now that the goal has been achieved, it will be gone after a year.

The third time he told me that he was in a relationship with the girl nicknamed "Little Widow" to the point where he had no reason not to marry her, which made him extremely frightened. So, when the "little widow" went to Guangzhou on a business trip, he brought home a girl he knew casually who didn't have much beauty. The next morning, when the girl who slept with someone for the first time innocently begged him to "let's get married", he immediately thought that this was an opportunity to get rid of the "little widow", and he agreed.

For Mo Ren, Yu Zipei's only belief is in his kindness, and his explanations are all unbelievable. People always make excuses for their lives, and he is fortunate enough to be one of his excuses. At that time, he was accustomed to blaming Yu Zipei for all the mistakes and pains in his life, which was enough to explain why he proposed and why Yu Zipei refused. Fortunately, his divorce really had nothing to do with my Yu Zipei, and Yu Zipei had neither seen him nor made a phone call in that year, so he escaped the possibility of becoming the culprit.

There is a more specific version of his divorce. - "It's strange that all my friends don't like her. Divorce me every day. When we got married, we were always very poor, and we went to other places to install machines, and the subsidy was only a few dollars a day. I have been married for a year, and we have been together for half a year. Once I went out with the boss and took two cars, I paid for the taxi, the people in their car had no change, and the driver couldn't find it, so I went over and paid the money, about 20 yuan, and my wife was anxious, saying that they were richer than us! Later, this incident made a fuss for several days, saying that I was not doing my job properly and was associated with these gangsters. I was also in a hurry, so I said divorce. My wife is also very stubborn, engaged in science and technology, a tendon, and she will leave when she says it. ”

After Mo Ren became a writer, I had more and more opportunities to meet him, because of the proximity of the circle of life. Ashi was very fond of Moren, and with a connoisseur's eye he was interested and curious about this rare model, and often asked me about his experiences.

As for Yu Zipei, he had a very good conversation with Brother Bin, a friend of Mo Ren, because the two of them had a common hobby - vampires. They often discuss this topic, comparing who has collected more vampire movies and which one is the best. Brother Bing also likes "Frankenstein", and I was not interested in Yu Zipei, so I gave him a copy of "Frankenstein" supervised by Andy Warhol that I bought by chance. It's no surprise that Frankenstein likes Frankenstein, and Frankenstein has always been an intellectual moral question - can people give human life to other things, and with the cloning thing, it's even more necessary to think about it.

Vampires are not a moral issue, it is more essential, so Yu Zipei still collects vampires.

Yu Zipei's favorite vampire movie is everyone's favorite, Coppola's "400 Years of Horror", and Binge's favorite is "Nosferattu" shot by German director Murnau in the twenties, legend has it that the male lead in that movie is a real vampire, he only appears on the set in the evening every day, and finally causes the actress to disappear after the film.

When Yu Zipei's body wants to get desire, he will watch "Four Hundred Years of Horror", it will make the cells of the body tremble, and the blood in it flows, red, it is the favorite of vampire zombies, the liquefaction of life, they slowly rush to the land of desire, and rush to the shelter of desire in your life.

Vampire movies contain everything that interests humans: love and sexuality, faith and betrayal, violence and bloodlust, immortality and redemption. Beautiful, terrifying, fragrant legend.

As Dr. Halsey leads the crowd to destroy Dracula's shelter in the church, Dracula turns into a puff of smoke and has a tryst with Minna. Minna was already asleep, but she felt Dracula's arrival, and she thought she was dreaming, so she obeyed her desires and told him how much she missed him, how much she longed for his touch, and that she was going to be with him no matter who he was, Always...... That's what she said.

It would be perfect to have Jamie Lee Irons play the vampire, Yu Zipei felt like she would wash her neck and reach for him to bite, let his fangs pierce into her soft skin, let his lust drain my blood, and let others think she would be reborn after she died, and then roam with him to the end of time. Picture perfect. Only the matter of "eternal life" is a bit annoying, let's die, dying at the moment of passion is the best death for Yu Zipei.

Vampire movies are also a good restrictive genre, with death against the backdrop, those vulgar lewd laughter has a bit of fun, think about it, every kiss can be fatal, and pornography has become solemn.

A week after the reception, Qin Wuji called again to ask Yu Zipei to have dinner.

That's how the conversation went.

"Write a comedy, is there a comedy story? Somebody wants it. ”

"Yes, how many?"

"It's quite a big tone, tell me about it."

"Now?"

"Not now, I have other things, tell me about dinner in the evening."

"Eat?"

"Half-past six, you're waiting for me downstairs."

Yu Zipei was absent-minded all afternoon that day, basking in the sun on the balcony, cutting her nails one by one under the sun, she couldn't make up her mind about Qin Wuji. Of course, she thinks that all serious things are excuses, excuses for him. As for herself, she hopes to find an excuse for agreeing to his date. The reason for her emotions was not recognized, and the only reason she accepted was work. But it doesn't make sense, she can say to him, "See you tomorrow." ”

In the end, it was another reason that made her quiet ,—— avoid his invitation, that is, cowardice, the ball had been thrown, and if she didn't catch it, she would miss, which was intolerable to her pride.

Well, an Aquarius never flinchs, what is she afraid of? Her life was all about taking on challenges. Yu Zipei was on the corner of the street, watching his white Peugeot drive over and stop beside him.

Yu Zipei's palms have the same "ten" palm print, and she recognizes her intuition, which women call the "sixth sense". Together with the "X" on Jupiter's mound, they prove that Yu Zipei has a sensibility beyond the five senses of eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body, which is often referred to as "intuition" or "sixth sense". Ashi conducted a count among her friends and found that nine out of ten people had this sixth sense to some extent. This speaks volumes about the phenomenon of people being divided into groups, these people are like whales sending radio waves to the outside world, looking for their kind that attracts them, and there are many conveniences in getting along with people of the same kind, at least they can save a lot of tongues, and they usually trust your feelings without any explanation from you.

Based on Aquarius' tendency to rationalize everything, rationalize intuition into a heavy burden for themselves. What kind of attention should be given to intuition in personal life, whether it is worth paying attention to, and if so, to what extent should it be valued, it has always been a difficult problem for Yu Zipei.

A typical example of intuition in life is the white shirt incident.

There was a period when Yu Zipei was very keen on white cotton shirts, keen to wear them, and also keen to buy them, and when he saw white shirts, he wanted to keep them for himself. This shirt is clean and simple to wear, but it is very cumbersome to serve. First of all, in Bangkok, which is rich in heat, it is dirty in one day, and it can not be worn for two days at most, and it needs to be washed by hand, and it cannot be washed with chlorine-containing bleach, and it must be dried in the sun and not in the shade, and the most difficult thing is to iron it flat, because it is a three-dimensional tailoring fashion style, the front and back are wrinkled with the shape, and it is difficult to iron it without long-term practical experience. For so many reasons, Yu Zipei tends to take the white shirt as a luxury in life, a luxury for himself. She always washes these dozen white and bright, identical-looking clothes herself, and then sends them to the laundry outside to be ironed. Having said so much, everyone must understand that the white shirt even reflects her attitude towards life.

One day, Yu Zipei accidentally bought a white long-sleeved shirt with a first-class style and texture at a reasonable price at the Paris Spring Xintiandi Mall in the old town. At that time, it was by accident that she walked through the mall, Yu Zipei had already made an appointment to meet someone at seven o'clock, saw this shirt at six fifty-two o'clock, bought it within four minutes, and walked to the lobby of the Xinnan Hotel at exactly seven o'clock, and the person from the Thai Film Company who asked her to write the script was walking around the lobby.

The matter of writing the script is purely uncomprehensible, but Yu Zipei feels that it is worth it, because he bought this shirt. When I get home in the evening, take it out and throw it in a chair next to the bed, ready to take it to the laundry tomorrow to be ironed. "3690." When cutting the tag from the clothes, Yu Zipei looked at the price and had a strange thought: "If they iron it out, they will compensate according to the price." ”

The next afternoon she delivered her white shirt to the laundromat while the man was busy with his little boy running up and down the steps of the laundrom.

"Be careful, don't get dirty." Yu Zipei instructed him.

"Don't worry."

"It's dirty." Yu Zipei looked at his workbench, the white cushion had turned gray.

"I'll hang it up and iron it." He assured.

Yu Zipei didn't feel comfortable leaving this spotless white thing next to someone else's dirty clothes, but he had to do it.

At dinner she went to pick up the clothes, and he had just ironed them and took them off the hook for me, and she usually paid the money and left, never looking carefully, so she lost the clothes. But out of strange uneasiness that day, she held her shirt up in front of her eyes and immediately noticed a striking blue mark on the collar.

"What is this?"

The first place was discovered, and the second place was discovered, and the third place was found, all in prominent positions on the collar.

"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to be careful? ”

"I'm afraid I'll get dirty, so I'll hang it up and iron it." The shopkeeper looked very aggrieved.

Soon Yu Zipei found the same blue mark on his steam iron, and the shopkeeper reached out to rub it, and was so hot that he violently withdrew his hand.

"Be careful!"

"It's carbon paper." He said.

It was the carbon paper he used to issue invoices that was ironed and then printed on his shirt.

"Didn't I tell you to be careful?" Yu Zipei's tone was flat, and he was actually dizzy.

"I'll wash it, I can get rid of it, just take it and rinse it."

"Can't drift. Don't you read the washing instructions? It says 'no chlorine bleaching'. ”

"Chlorine? What does chlorine mean? ”

"In short, there's also English, which says 'can't be bleached.'"

"White, white should be able to float. You can take it tomorrow, I'll get it for you anyway. ”

The best thing to do is to take the clothes away.

Yu Zipei was very depressed when he walked home with his clothes, and the frustration was so great that it didn't seem to be caused by soiling a piece of clothing. What caused that?

- It's intuition.

Yes, she has a gut feeling, she has a "ten" in the palm of her hand, she has an "X" under her index finger, she knows that this dress is going to be in trouble, she knew it from the beginning, but so what? She can't avoid it, she can't help it in a bad direction, there's nothing she can do. She must have sent it to the laundromat, it must have been the laundromat, and the owner of that laundromat must have misplaced the carbon paper, or misplaced the iron, and in the end the white shirt must have been stained with the collar in her hand.

This is another proposition raised by the white shirt incident - fate.

If you believe that the cross in the palm represents intuition, you also believe in fate.

The shirt sign with "3690" was still thrown on the table, and the most important thing Yu Zipei did that night was to clean the innocent white shirt. She used various methods, using an enzyme-containing collar to clean, soaking it in a laundry detergent containing a photo-effective factor, using a soft brush little by little, tirelessly scrubbing, she was not washing clothes, she was fighting against fate. She knows that this is her life, she doesn't complain, Aquarius life is like this, never complains, everything has to be saved by herself. Even if it is out of control, make a final effort.

But intuition, intuition is a luxury, more than a white shirt to change every day.

Later, I knew what she was afraid of when I stood on the street corner waiting for Qin Wuji that evening, but she couldn't do anything, just as intuition couldn't do anything about the white shirt, and intuition couldn't do anything about the love and pain she was about to encounter.

That day they went to Allenpur for Korean barbecue.

Before going out, Yu Zipei said to himself: "What are you afraid of?" It's just an ordinary affair. ”

I'm afraid I'm afraid it's not!

Yu Zipei told Qin Wuji a warm story of a little person through the squeaky barbecue tray, he said it was good, and asked her if she still had it? Yu Zipei said no, she is not good at writing comedies, she is good at gags at most.

He said let's write this first, write the outline of the story first, and he'll get the money.

"I can't help you more, I'll have to write behind closed doors in a while."

"What about the company?"

"I don't want to care, I'm not in this business."

That night he didn't talk to Yu Zipei, not once, they talked a lot aimlessly, the waiter kept coming to add tea and pour water, he suddenly got annoyed, and he lost his temper like a child: "I said, let's stay by ourselves for a while!" ”

Later, Yu Zipei gradually forgot that she was here to accept the challenge, and forgot that the person sitting across from her was her opponent, and he seemed so gentle and steady that he didn't seem to have any problems at all, and he couldn't even imagine that he had a bad reputation.

From beginning to end, he only said one over-the-top sentence: "You know I've always had a preference for you." But he was telling the truth, and he was so natural and sincere that he was almost helpless, as if he wanted others to understand. So, Yu Zipei had to forgive him.

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, half past nine, it was time to send the girl home.

The revised script was delivered to "Fish Every Day" on time, and they were sent to Hong Kong by express mail. The fax from Hong Kong arrived a week later, saying that the change was very good, No p

oblem.

In the office that day, Qin Wuji took a fax to Yu Zipei and said seriously: "Does this Hong Kong person like you?" No opinion at all?! ”

Yu Zipei was simply angry with him - treat others with himself! thinks that Hong Kong people are the same as him, because they have a "preference" for her, they let their four million go down the drain, they really don't have this kind of love. They really feel good!

Yu Zipei seems to be a little unconvinced, but he has his own principles, and he has never told the Hong Kong people what he said to himself in the car. Or in his bones, he looks down on them, and he looks down on this kind of movie.

When he was about to get off work in the evening, Qin Wuji took a simple handheld computer given by someone else and fiddled with it.

"We have four stars." He said.

"What do you mean?"

"Let's see if we can get along."

"How many at most?"

"Five, but rare."

A man in his forties, like him, was amazed that he could play such a child's trick, or that he often played such clumsy little tricks with girls, a flirtatious gesture, like that of a seventeen-year-old boy. Yu Zipei hid his surprise, translated the English on the display screen very carefully, and pretended to be in his trap.

"You'll be good collaborators and friends."

Yu Zipei didn't dare to look at him, she was afraid that he would see something in her gaze and blush, in fact, I had already blushed for him.

Maybe it was that day that Yu Zipei blushed for him and was moved.

"Men only grow old and don't mature."

Thinking of Qin Wuji, Yu Zipei will think of this poem by Éluya.

Before the weather warmed up, Lan Xinhua returned from France.

Lan Xinhua was not originally called Lan Xinhua, her name was Lan Yijian, and Xinhua was her own name.

Xinhua is a watery girl, saying that she is water is not a description, but that she is indeed water. When she came back from Japan, she bowed her head smoothly, her eyebrows were clear, and she was the most gentle when she bowed her head, and she was not too shy to cool the breeze. When he came back from France, he was very lively, tanned and shiny, his eyeliner was thick and curled, and he was charming and charming, not to mention the avant-garde in France. I can't imagine what it will be like for her to go to Africa and come back! She thought she should marry a chieftain and live near the equator.

According to Axi, Xinhua's life is the main water, and her life is filled with water, she has no concentration, and always goes with the current, so she is destined to drift all her life.

After Xinhua found out, she decided to add some concentration to her life, so she asked Ah Xi for advice. Ashi said that this was not going to help, and she thought that everything should be left to its course. Xinhua borrowed a lot of books from Aimei to read.

Ashi borrowed her book and let it go.

Xinhua studied for a while and decided to change her name to Lan Xinhua, taking the meaning of a high hill to shake the water in her life. She seriously announced to everyone that she hoped that everyone would call her "Lan Xinhua" in the future, and the more she called, the more effective it would be. However, everyone didn't think so, some thought the name was ugly, and some called it to make her happy. She made up her mind to change her passport, and after asking a few times, she knew that it was in trouble. Slowly, the freshness passed, and everyone called her Lan Yijian again. She persevered on her own for a while, and because of the nature of water, she gave up.

But Yu Zipei kept calling her Xinhua, hoping to help her.

Of course, it certainly didn't work out much.

At that time, Xinhua divorced the Japanese and made up her mind to go to France for only one reason - she loved France. There must be a lot of loveliness in France, and it is unknown why Xinhua loves it. Anyway, she divorced, left her young son to her mother in Singapore, and went straight to France, where she married a Frenchman named Alan Telep a year and a half later.

In the early summer of that year, when she returned from France, she was not married to the handsome old man Allen. The story about Lan Xinhua basically depends on Ah Xi to recall, and Xinhua himself has forgotten it.

Yu Zipei first met Xinhua a year ago, she had just returned from Japan, and she hated Japan so much that she didn't understand how she could go to that kind of place and marry a Japanese. Ah Xi reminded her how she praised Japan back then, how elegant the scenery was, how exquisite life was, and how affectionate a man was, Lan Xinhua looked at Ah Xi in surprise and said categorically: "Impossible." ”

Seeing that Ah Xi was so angry that he couldn't do anything, Lan Xinhua waved his hand and said indifferently: "Maybe I forgot." I can't stand it for a day anyway. ”

With Yu Zipei, a person who kept a diary since he was a child and kept every piece of paper, Lan Xinhua didn't even live. Yu Zipei is so obsessed with recording her own actions and feelings, mainly feelings, and those diaries basically do not describe what happened, because she hopes to discover some truth from it, the truth about people. Observing others is of course a way, but it is much more difficult than observing oneself, and requires insight and interest in others (like Ashi). As an unsociable person, she chose to observe herself. She wants to be able to discover how she reacts when things come her way, whether her intuition is accurate about a person, what causes her real anger, what she misses the most, what her inconsistent behavior comes from, and so on.

Xinhua never bothered about this, she only lived in the moment, living in this time, and she was neither interested nor responsible for everything at that time, whether it was behavior or ideas. Ash and her are college classmates, and I saw how she was confused and stumbled through her youth, until she was thirty years old, and she still didn't grow at all. Ah Xi sighed again and again every time she mentioned her past, saying that she was a god, while Xinhua always smiled and interjected on the side as if nothing happened: "Really, there is such a thing? Impossible! ”

Xinhua was robbed twice in France by the pretty young men she accosted on the streets of Paris and in the parks. Think about it, in the picturesque Jardin du Luxembourg, where countless scenes of French movies were filmed, where the sun shines through the thick foliage of the chestnut trees dappled on the stone pavement, and the black-haired French lad meets a charming oriental woman, they greet each other, talk softly, look at each other, love waves, everything is so beautiful.

The only problem was that the French lad took the Chinese girl's wallet.

Xinhua is fearless because she has no memory. It is easy to endure when a person does not know, but once a person knows what will happen to her, she is afraid. That's why the older people get, the less courage they have.

Schopenhauer said of the sufferings of the world: "Man's ability to think, remember, and foresee is the machine that condenses and stores his joys and sorrows." Animals don't have this ability; Whenever it is in pain, it is as if it is experiencing it for the first time. Animals have no ability to generalize such feelings. Therefore how enviable is their indifference, serenity and composure! ”

How enviable Lan Xinhua is!

Xinhua's temperament is so lovely, Yu Zipei liked her almost immediately, after she went to France, she often asked Axi about her current situation, she came back this time, Yu Zipei and Axi inevitably ate and chatted with her, and participated in some art activities. Xinhua has to say that he doesn't know anything about art, doesn't have an aversion, and doesn't have an interest in it. But Ah Xi thinks that she has a keen sense of art, so she doesn't refuse to take her to watch dramas, watch art exhibitions, and buy VCDs, just take a look.
