Chapter 9 Who is occupying the magpie's nest

In Repulse Bay, the water is calm, the wind is light, and the sun is fierce. Tourists line up in a long line to play the game of touching the God of Wealth. It may be disrespectful to say that the game is because their expressions are so reverent. They clearly believe or are willing to touch the head or hands of the God of Wealth. You can have a prosperous fortune, touch the gold ingot next to the God of Wealth and put your fist in your pocket, and you will be safe. Keyi and Mi'er stayed away from the crowd, walking on the beach with their umbrellas in their hands, when the wind blows, the redbuds on the tree fall down, Keyi picks up one and holds it in her hand, walks slowly, sighing softly : "This is the place where Zhang Ailing walked more than half a century ago, that is, the place where Bai Liusu and Fan Liuyuan walked. Fan Liuyuan asked Bai Liusu on the phone: The moon seen from your window , Is it whiter than the one in front of my window. Those flirting words have changed their taste now, modern people even hate flirting, they just want to hit it off, if it’s okay, if it’s not, then let it go, and they’re impatient with long speeches.”

Mi'er also said: "Among Zhang Ailing's so many novels, my favorite is - how extravagant it is to use Qingcheng to fulfill a love." Ke Yi said: "You don't need to be charming, modern love, even a love letter is a luxury." Mi'er laughed: "Repulse Bay has always been extravagant - this is Hong Kong's feng shui treasure, rich people like to build houses in the middle of the mountain, look at those villas, they are all built by the most famous people in Hong Kong. There is a backing mountain, and there is a shallow water bay in front of you. Water is wealth, and you can count on it to attract wealth. If you look at those people who touch the God of Wealth, they all want to be Li Ka-shing.”

"If you can't be Li Ka-shing, you can be Li Jia." Ke Yi joked, "Honestly speaking, did you come here to touch the God of Wealth before you got married?" Mi'er's smile dimmed: "I didn't intend to come here to touch the God of Wealth, but in Rome, I did want to let Li Jia put her hand into the mouth of honesty... Fortunately, Huihui has also been to Paris." "Oh?" Ke Yi was taken aback, "When did it happen? Why didn't she tell us about it? Where did she get the money?" "It shouldn't be with her own money." Mi'er smiled wryly. "Do you still remember the portrait in her diary? Signed a line in French: For my love. You still asked someone to translate it."

"I remember." Ke Yi suddenly said, "At that time we guessed that she had a French boyfriend, so it turned out that she had really been to France." "I have a similar painting like that. You can buy it everywhere in Paris for five euros each." Ke Yi was puzzled at first, but soon understood: "So it wasn't painted by a lover. You called me to Hong Kong from Beijing like a talisman, just to tell me that Huihui painted a portrait in France? I Think of it as a big discovery. However, I really have a new discovery." Keyi took out the photo copy paper, "Can you tell who is Huihui at a glance?"

Unexpectedly, Mi'er pointed at another person and shouted, "Oh my God, it's Menhai!" "What?" Ke Yi couldn't wake up for a while, "Who are you talking about?" "Men Hai! It's the Zorro I mentioned who can fight and sing! The taekwondo coach of our 'Su Yao Pavilion' once had a relationship with me, and even said he would elope with me!" Mi'er pointed Looking at the boy next to Huihui, he stammered nervously: "This is the man, this man is Menhai, so he and Huihui knew each other! He actually knew Huihui! He was sent by Huihui to avenge me! I deserved to be deceived by him and abandoned by him, so it turned out that he wanted to avenge Huihui!"

Keyi was completely shocked by this unexpected discovery. From the moment she saw the photo, she guessed that there must be a big secret buried in it. Somebody borrowed the dean's hand to give it to her. Bring yourself closer to this secret core.However, all her thoughts were lingering on Xiaohui, but she never thought that the secret was actually about Menhai. Menhai and Huihui grew up in the same orphanage, so his relationship with Mi'er was no accident.Perhaps, he applied for the "Su Yao Pavilion" on purpose, just to get close to Mi'er. "I have long suspected that his origin is unknown, so there is indeed a conspiracy." Keyi remembered, "The last time you told us that the hero saved the beauty, we felt strange, why did those reporters just rush out? Now it seems, really It's a play."

"He is Huihui's friend, but he is always around me. I always have a feeling that Huihui has been by my side since the day I got married, from Shanghai to Paris. Do you remember? Huihui Suicide was on the eve of my wedding. Since then, I have been chasing the road she walked. Where I went, she has been there before; where I have lived, she has lived before; where I have slept bed……" "Stop talking." Keyi interrupted her distractedly, "Mi'er, you think too much." However, Mi'er was like a bewitched bewitch, and she couldn't stop her babbling: "The rose garden in Huihui's photo is very similar to the garden of my villa; Huihui has been to Paris before, and Li Jia has been there before; when I got married The night before, Huihui committed suicide; the man who pursued me was Huihui's classmate in the orphanage; my husband was the one Huihui wanted to marry; my lover was the one who loved Huihui..."

"These are two different things!" Ke Yi interrupted again, "All gardens are the same in the world, and it doesn't mean that both of them have been to Paris. Menhai is Menhai, and Li Jia is Li Jia. Mier, are you too Suspicion, forcing myself to go crazy, and getting into a dead end, this is against me. Even if Menhai pursues you with ulterior motives, it doesn't mean that Li Jia is also a suspect." "It's the same thing, it's the same thing!" Mi'er yelled hysterically.Under the sun, she was trembling all over, her face was pale, she grabbed Keyi's hand and said, "Keyi, Huihui's man is Li Jia, and that child belongs to Li Jia! Huihui committed suicide out of despair, and I killed her." Kill her! Menhai came to take revenge on me, he deliberately wanted to ruin my reputation, he seduced me, persuaded me to elope, just to take revenge on Li Jia with me!"

Ke Yi couldn't help but tremble a little, but still managed to calm down and comforted Mi'er: "Don't be too nervous. Even if Men Hai really has a relationship with Hui Hui, why don't you make another assumption, imagine that the child is Men Hai's?" What? Maybe Menhai is Huihui's lover, that is, the child's father. It's none of Li Jia's business." "No, I have feelings. When I was on my honeymoon in Dalian, Huihui entrusted me with a dream. I thought she was here to say goodbye to me. It turned out that she was going to say goodbye to Li Jia! What Menhai said was very strange. In other words, what's the saying 'the mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind', so he is the mantis, and I am the cicada. I don't know who is the oriole in the photo? It's an out-and-out conspiracy! Everything is planned, he is taking revenge on me, punishing me, and I deserve what I deserve!"

"No, no, no!" Keyi shook Mi'er desperately, hoping that she would calm down, but her own voice was also trembling. The truth hidden behind all the signs was terrible, but it was so reasonable: Huihui loves She fell in love with the handsome and wealthy Li Jia, and always fantasized about marrying into a wealthy family, but Li Jia had no intention of getting married at all, so Huihui impregnated herself and hid herself to wait for the child to be born, hoping that the mother would be more precious than the child; At this moment, she learned about the "flash marriage" between Li Jia and Mi'er from the newspaper, and all her hopes came to naught, especially since the rival in love was her good friend, which made her even have no fighting spirit to win the love. So after giving birth to a child, she committed suicide in despair; Menhai was the life-and-death friend of Huihui's childhood sweetheart. After he learned about the whole incident, in order to avenge Li Jia and Mi'er, he implemented a seduction plan, using his own way to punish him. As a human being, I want Mi'er to taste the taste of chaos and abandonment, while Li Jia is punished by "whoever commits adultery with his wife, his wife and daughter must be adulterous".

The truth gradually came out like a cocoon. Mi'er cried: "Actually, everything has a harbinger. Huihui left her last words to entrust the orphan, who is not good to entrust, but entrusted the four of us, hoping that the child can be adopted by me in the dark, so that he can become Li Jia's son justifiably. She burned all the diaries because she was afraid that I would know the past between her and Li Jia. Fortunately, I was the one who killed Huihui. If I hadn’t married Li Jia, Huihui would not have died; now, we Lost her baby again!" "Even if that man is really Li Jia, everything is not your fault." Ke Yi couldn't help but want to cry, good luck tricks people, if Mi'er's assumptions are true, what kind of tragedy would it be? ! "It was mentioned in Huihui's diary that the man didn't know about her pregnancy. It was Huihui who was going to disappear suddenly and wanted to secretly give birth to the child and meet again; therefore, even if the man was really Li Jia, He didn't intend to abandon Huihui, nor did he intend to hide the child from you, because he didn't know it at all. Besides, it's not certain whether that man is Li Jia. Except for the specious rose garden photo and the Apart from the portrait of Zhang also from Paris, what direct evidence do you have to prove that Li Jia is Huihui's lover?" "Sometimes this kind of thing doesn't need evidence at all!" Mi'er said willfully, "A woman's intuition is the most accurate. Li Jia treats me hot and cold, because what I do is what Huihui has done before. Yes. Once I showed love to Li Jia in the rose garden. He obviously had desires, but suddenly he became indifferent. I never understood, but now I know, that rose garden, Huihui has been there before, maybe, they I used to have sex there before. What I did was remind him all the time and remind him of Huihui's death. Huihui has already done what I wanted to do and I'm just repeating her way Sometimes, I feel that I am Huihui's rival in love, the murderer who killed her; sometimes, I feel that I am her substitute, she is looking at Li Jia through my eyes, through my body... " "The more you talk, the more outrageous it is." Keyi became even more disturbed, "Mi'er, you really should have a good talk with Lu Yu. What you need most now is a psychologist." "It's because of this that I don't want to talk to Lu Yu. She interprets everything as a mental illness. However, you are a writer who lives on inspiration. You said that you believe in ghosts. Don't you think this is true? Is it possible?" "But evidence is still needed." Keyi said calmly, "Mi'er, before you find out the truth, don't think about it. Let's go step by step: first, we must determine whether Li Jia is Huihui's lover; Men Hai asked him what he knew; then, think about the child's problem and continue to track down the child's whereabouts. The person you should talk to most is your husband." "I wanted to ask him face to face several times in Paris, but I couldn't. I was afraid that he would say no, and I was afraid that he would say yes." Mi'er continued to cry, "If he said yes, what should I do? Divorce Do you want to adopt that child and replace Huihui as the child's mother?" "This is the fourth question after confirming the first three questions. Please calm down first, let us think about how to confirm the first question." Ke Yi has already calmed down first, "Don't ask in person, once you make a mistake It will affect the relationship between you and your husband in vain. Don’t you keep Huihui’s diary? You can put it in an obvious place for Li Jia to see, and then observe his reaction; Menhai, tell him face to face, tell him that you don't know anything about Huihui, when you married Li Jia, you didn't even know that Huihui was pregnant with someone else's child." Ke Yi didn't know that while she was testing her husband's secrets for Mi'er, her own marriage was also facing an unexpected test. When Lu Yu got off the plane at Xianyang Airport, he sprained his foot and almost fell off the ladder, but was taken directly from the airport to the hospital by civil aviation staff.She was unaccompanied in Xi'an, so she had to call Professor Qian for help, and Professor Qian took her back from the hospital to her home. At first, Lu Yu still insisted on staying in a hotel, but was dissuaded by the professor's stern words. Professor Qian said: "If Keyi finds out that I left you alone in the hotel, she will lose her temper with me. You don't want to be the target of our husband and wife's war, do you?" Lu Yu agreed.She wanted to call Keyi, but the signal was not available - at this time, Keyi was already in Hong Kong, and because she only planned to go there for two days, she hadn't subscribed to Global Pass. Everything is like a set of Bridges of Madison County deliberately arranged by God, the script and choreography are in place, just waiting for the hero and heroine to follow the script. In the evening, Professor Qian changed Lu Yu's medicine according to the method instructed by the doctor. Lu Yu was a little embarrassed and kept saying, "I'll do it myself." indecent. Professor Qian smiled: "Don't be polite to me. Anyway, I have seen your ugliest side just now." Lu Yu smiled shyly, stretched out her feet to be served by Professor Qian, her heels were itchy, and her heart was also itchy.I couldn't help but think that Keyi described her husband as boring and dull, but in fact, Professor Qian is very easy-going and gentle.Such an easy-going husband, but Ke Yi is still full of complaints, and he really doesn't know how to be blessed when he is in the blessing.Next time you see her, you must persuade her well. Professor Qian asked, "What are you thinking about, so preoccupied?" "I'm thinking about Keyi." Lu Yu said, "Keyi's changes before and after marriage are really quite big, it's like two different people." "Really? What was she like before?" "When she was in college, she was more courageous and hot-tempered than anyone else. She liked to fight and meddle in other people's business, but she didn't know anything about human affairs except poetry and songs. After getting married, she became mature and became I have to hesitate, I am a little hesitant, I am not interested in anything except writing novels and buying clothes, and I complain a lot, and I have learned to complain.” Professor Qian couldn't help but wonder if his wife complained about him?Mostly there are, but I don't know what crimes they are complaining about.He confessed in advance like a record: "It's my inability to let her live a carefree life, and I'm getting more and more impatient. Tell me more about Keyi's past, I like to hear it." The female college student Keyi in Lu Yu's narration is naturally the one that has been beautified through memory filtering, because it also represents the girl Lu Yu's college days.Throughout the four years of college, the two of them were inseparable, talking about everything, and everything they talked and thought was so beautiful and innocent-even if there were bad things, they would be washed away by the tide of memory. Professor Qian listened with emotion. He lives in the university every day, facing countless female college students coming and going, but why is there no girl who is as outstanding as the girl Keyi or the girl Lu Yu in the whole campus? He seemed to see the former Keyi and Lu Yu through the smog of the years, and in his sight, Lu Yu and Keyi gradually became inseparable and merged into one.He has a feeling: Keyi should not leave Dalian, nor should she leave Lu Yu, because Keyi is Lu Yu, and Lu Yu is Keyi. After separation, the two of them become incomplete. Only together can they be together. Only then will she become a perfect woman again. Then, he discovered to his shock: he fell in love with Yue Keyi in Lu Yu's body. For three consecutive days, when Professor Qian was off work, he would see Lu Yu operating in the kitchen with a cane, serving four dishes and one soup and saying, "I can't move my feet, but my skills seem to have improved. Do you want to try it?" The professor wolfed it down with a greedy look, and then praised loudly: "It's delicious!" Then he complained again and again, "I told you to take a good rest, don't move around, why are you so disobedient?" Lu Yu smiled: "You are standing in the kitchen, you obviously haven't walked around, you cook with your hands and not your feet!" Talking and laughing during the meal, it was enjoyable and not lonely.After dinner, the professor washed the dishes, and then washed Lu Yu's feet with water and soaked herbal medicines, and massaged her feet, wiped them dry, and then carefully applied the medicine and wrapped them up.Lu Yu was very sorry, and the professor persuaded: "The ancients said that the kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by the spring. You cooked four dishes and one soup, and I only returned a pot of footwashing water in return. I am already very sorry. After seven or eight years of marriage, I have returned I have never enjoyed the treatment of opening my mouth when I have a meal. We are happy, but apart from making coffee, I don’t even know how to turn on the gas.” Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Over the years, how had she ever met someone who was willing to hold her injured foot and massage it?My heart was agitated, but on the surface I just smiled lightly: "I'm not good at making coffee, but I brought a set of tea sets, so I can invite you to try my tea-making skills." At this time, both of them can't help but have an illusion: as if this is a family, and the two of them are an old married couple, because they are so familiar with each other's past and present - through Keyi.But it is a bridge between the two, but at the same time it is a natural moat, which can be communicated but cannot be crossed.The two stand on the two sides of Tianzhu and look at each other from a distance, and they can never meet. Professor Qian is not a person who is good at communication, but this is the first time for him to be a host and make fun——Lu Yu's virtue of "turning the customer into the center" made him feel "at home", and the two people who reversed their identities seemed to be in the same room. Performing an opera called "Respect each other as guests", almost has the joy of harmony. Wong Kar Wai's classic old film "In the Mood for Love" is being replayed on TV. The lust of middle-aged men and women is unrestrained and restrained, wandering in a small space, lingering in the fragrance of tea. Professor Qian looked at the cheongsam show that Maggie Cheung changed frequently on TV, and blurted out: "If you wear a cheongsam, you must look good." Lu Yu said naturally: "I always wear a cheongsam in the teahouse." After saying that, he felt that he was suspected of being coquettish, so he couldn't help lowering his head and smiling. Professor Qian only felt a slight shock in his heart, and looked at Lu Yu in a daze.Sitting in the teahouse wearing a cheongsam and fiddling with the tea ceremony, Lu Yu must be so beautiful. She is simply a woman, with dusty socks, bright eyes, and a quiet girl like her sister, graceful and clear. Time and space suddenly moved away, as if he was an ancient scholar, studying hard with a volume in his hand, while she was Tianxiang's red sleeve, meandering past the window.Her eyes flicked across his book, so the pages of the book were stained with his love for her. If, if he met Lu Yu at the same time when he met Keyi, who would he choose? Professor Qian suddenly felt that it was not that he fell in love with Keyi in Lu Yu's body, but on the contrary, he fell in love with Lu Yu in Keyi's body.It's because I didn't meet Lu Yu that I fell in love with Keyi; and Keyi is just Lu Yu's prelude, or not a complete copy. Lu Yu should be the real princess in his dream. Professor Qian began to look forward to leaving get off work every day, while Lu Yu waited at home at home. Lu Yu's visit to Xi'an this time was originally for Tong Gang.Tong Gang transferred to Malan Farm in Shaanxi Province to continue reforming through labor. The farm is located in Xunyi, which is very remote. It is an eight-hour drive from Xi'an, and he has to change cars several times and walk a section of mountain road on foot.She was unfamiliar with the road, and now she sprained her foot, so she had to delay.The foot injury made her feel like she was imprisoned in this small building, or exiled to an isolated island, and the only savior was Professor Qian, who was a boat in the ocean, and Keyi was the ocean. Lu Yu has always regarded herself as a disabled person in her heart, but this is the first time, the first time she sometimes shares her pain and comforts her disability.The few days she spent with Professor Qian was a unique experience in her life.In the past, when she was romantic and tactful, there might be countless courtiers under her skirt; but when she was hurt and frustrated, she always endured it alone.Walking alone, her footsteps have already been very tired and hurt, but why did she ever sit down and have a short rest, let alone someone who knows the cold and the heat to help her wrap her wounds? She couldn't help but hope that she wouldn't come back in such a hurry. However, on this day, Keyi finally got a call, saying that she was going back to Xi'an tomorrow. The professor put down the phone and said with a dry smile, "I hope you will come back tomorrow." Lu Yu immediately said, "I'll go to the hotel tomorrow morning." "Then why?" "Then why didn't you just say on the phone that I was staying at your house?" "I……" "If you don't say it just now, you will never say it again." Lu Yu said bluntly, "I will move out early tomorrow morning. When I come back, I will tell you that I have been living in a hotel." Professor Qian lowered his head. He himself couldn't explain why he didn't mention Lu Yu on the phone just now. Did he have a ghost in his heart?Before Lu Yu came to Xi'an, he said not to stay at home, but when he moved in, he didn't tell Keyi because of the signal failure, and he missed the opportunity to talk about it on the phone just now, so, really, never talk about it again. Some things are better not known than known.If you don't speak once, you must be silent forever. Lu Yu has been called Tong Gang's wife for many years, but she has never lived a day of real family life. Living in Keyi's house, she experienced the feeling of a wife for the first time.Especially when standing on the balcony of the small building and looking forward to Professor Qian returning home from get off work every day, she can't help but imagine that this is her own home, and she is the mistress of the house, waiting for her husband to come home.And this is clearly the dove occupying the magpie's nest. Now, it is time to return to Zhao. Menhai disappeared. It turns out that it can be easy for a modern person to disappear.Moved, quit your job, turned off your mobile phone, you can turn around and disappear into the sea of ​​people rolling in the world of mortals, without leaving your back. Mi'er was inexplicably depressed. After all, she still lost to the extras. Men Hai was acting from the beginning to the end, and she entered the play so cooperatively, becoming a vase heroine with big breasts and no brains.No wonder she has never been famous for acting in her life. Her acting skills are too bad. Apart from acting in her true colors, she has no acting skills at all. She became more and more sure that Menhai's appearance was for revenge, and she even suspected that those group photos were taken by Menhai himself, and then sent to her, in order to force her to elope with him.If she had agreed to go far away with him at that time, maybe he would have taken her to some deep mountain and old forest, tortured her in every possible way, and then killed her to silence her, and abandoned her body in the wilderness. Thinking that Menhai might do something that would hurt her more deeply, she shuddered and thought repeatedly like an obsessive-compulsive disorder: If she hadn't married Li Jia, Huihui would not have committed suicide in despair; therefore, Huihui was the one who killed her. If she dies, her ghost will always follow her and Li Jia.As early as the day of the wedding, Mi'er had always felt uneasy: she felt that the shadow of Huihui's suicide would always hang over her married life.Now, that premonition has come true. According to what Keyi said, she wanted to put Huihui's diary in a prominent place for Li Jia to see, so as to observe his reaction.However, it was discovered that the diary was also missing.She clearly remembered that she put it in the drawer of the dresser.Who could have taken it? Mi'er called the housekeeper and nanny to ask, but everyone said they had never seen any diary, and the nanny in charge of cleaning the bedroom even called Yuan: "Miss Ruan, are you saying that my hands and feet are not clean? I have been a domestic helper for five or six years, but I have never lost a needle or thread." "I didn't mean that, I just..." Mi'er felt her mouth dry, "Forget it, you guys go down." But the nanny quit: "If you ask me today, my innocence will be ruined. I really didn't take anything, and I have never seen a diary with a portrait in it, but I have seen a diary. A stack of photos, I put them in the closet." "Photo? What photo?" But Mi'er immediately remembered that what the nanny was talking about was the "evidence of her affair" that fell from the sky.She looked at the nanny suspiciously, wondering if she might have something to do with this unresolved case, but put on a look of indifference and said, "Which wardrobe did you receive? Show me." The nanny sneered and took the stack of photos, and it really was a photo of her and Men Hai.Mi'er knew in her heart that the nanny hid the stack of photos in order to show her merits and help her conceal the "criminal evidence". "Are.If you pretended to her today, would she not be able to fly to the sky in the future?Maybe you should use this as a counterweight to blackmail. Mi'er was secretly annoyed, losing to the leading actor over and over again could be said to be because she was too devoted to her performance, but a nanny can also declare war on her, that would be to underestimate her as a trick.He smiled lightly at the moment, and said with something in his words: "I don't know who sent these photos to blackmail me. I was planning to report the crime, but the photos disappeared. It turned out that you hid them." The nanny immediately became anxious: "I'm not hiding it, I'm putting it away for you, because I'm afraid my husband will see it..." "Why is that?" Mi'er pretended to be surprised, "There is no secret between me and my husband. My business is his business. If someone blackmails me, of course you have to discuss it with him. You can hide these photos from your husband to see, no way. The blackmailer's accomplice?" The nanny was shocked, she couldn't finish her sentence, she just said again and again: "No, how come, no..." Mi'er pondered calmly: "Speaking of which, if the husband hears it, he may not be able to help, and it's useless to worry about it. It's better not to let him know..." "That's right, that's right." The nanny echoed repeatedly, sweat glistening on her forehead. Mi'er was secretly amused, addicted to the drama, waved her hand to let the nanny go away, sat in front of the bay window with her knees crossed, looked at the rose garden outside the window, and thought absently: the rose garden in front of me is the rose in Huihui's photo garden?Where is Huihui's diary?If it wasn't for these workers, it would be Li Jia, which further proves that he is Huihui's lover and the child's father!So, where would he keep his diary? Maybe he is the one who stole the child.No, the day the child disappeared was the day when he held his wedding, and Li Jia was the leading actor of the wedding.But he could have someone else steal the child for him.As for why he stole it instead of adopting it openly, that's easy to explain, because he wants to get married, so he can't make the scandal public. After thinking wildly like this for a long time, Li Jia came back, very angry, and reprimanded the servant for opening the door slowly as soon as he entered. Mi'er was a little surprised. Although Li Jia always seemed to be full of worries, she seldom showed any signs of anger or anger, let alone blame others. What happened today?She forgot what was on her mind, stepped forward and asked, "Didn't you say that the board meeting is held today? It's not going well?" "Gu Jianbo applied to be a member of the board of directors." Li Jia "threw" herself into the luxurious leather sofa and said, "He asked me to sell all the shares in the magazine to him." "Then why?" "He hinted at me..." Li Jia suddenly realized something, and said lazily, "It's okay not to talk about business matters." "I don't want to inquire about your secrets, but we are husband and wife. Even if we can't share weal and woe, we can at least share our worries, right?" Mi'er squeezed over and sat next to Li Jia, showing off her acting skills half-truthfully, "Do you have a lot of things?" Are you hiding it from me?" Li Jia was surprised: "You already know?" "I know a little bit." Mi'er remained calm, "But I want to hear you tell me." "Which part?" "As a wife, what I care most about is naturally my husband's emotional history." Mi'er continued to play with half-truths, "Tell me about the most important sexual history in your life." "The most important thing..." Li Jia meditated, "Once, I met a girl who was as beautiful as a flower. She was different and unique. She conquered me almost instantly and made me fall in love. , I can’t extricate myself, ah, that relationship is really unforgettable.” "and after?" "Later, I proposed to her, and she married me and became Li Jia's married couple." Li Jia laughed. Only then did Mi'er realize that she had been fooled, and she felt sweet in her heart, but she immediately reminded herself that she should stop deceiving herself and others.If Li Jia is really Huihui's lover, then he has been deceiving himself, playing with himself, and he is an actor in vain, so how can he always be deceived by the audience?She decided to make a surprise attack: "Shall we play a game of truth?" "Okay, how to play?" "You ask me a question, and I must answer you with absolute sincerity; and then I ask you a question, and you must also tell the truth. Whoever tells lies will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and limbs will be cut off." "Wow, is there a need to swear such a poisonous oath?" Li Jia disagreed, "What if I can't answer?" "No, if I tell the truth, you must." "Okay, then let me ask you first, if you refuse to answer, don't force me to tell the truth, how about it?" "It's a deal." Mi'er was very serious, "Just ask." Li Jia couldn't help becoming serious, and asked, "After you married me, have you ever liked other men?" Mi'er was taken aback for a moment, speechless for a while.Li Jia smiled: "Is it? It's very difficult to talk about everything." "I liked someone else." Mi'er replied boldly, "It's Menhai, the taekwondo instructor at Suyaoge Fitness Center." Li Jia was a little embarrassed: "I didn't force you to say this." "I am willing to confess." Mi'er said with a pale face, almost tragically, "I was deceived by him, I am very incompetent, if you want to blame me for this, or abandon me, I have nothing to say. " "I won't." Li Jia panicked, hugged Mi'er and said, "Why are you talking so seriously? I won't make it difficult for you. Actually, I knew about it a long time ago, but I never I never blamed you, did I?" "You knew?" Mi'er was very surprised, but she quickly realized, "You drove away Menhai?" "No. He went by himself. I only made a small hint." "What hint?" "I took a group photo of you and sent it to you." "The person who sent the photo turned out to be you!" Mi'er was even more surprised, "Why did you do this?" "I don't want to lose you, but I don't want to hurt you either. I can only take a gamble in this way so that the matter can be settled as soon as possible. Mier, you don't know how to protect yourself. I'm so afraid that things will go on. It has developed to the point of being hopeless. I thought, if Menhai is serious about you, and you decide to be with him, I will not blame you, and I will fulfill you. Do you know? When you When you told me that you would go to Paris for honeymoon with me, I was really touched and very happy, because I knew that you finally decided to come back to me and would not leave me." Mi'er cried: "Li Jia, aren't you angry with me?" "No, since I married you, I will bear everything about you. I have done many wrong things in my life and failed many people, but I told myself from the day I got married: In this life, you are the one I want to protect the most. woman, I will do my best to treat you well." "Li Jia..." Mi'er burst into tears. After half a year of marriage, this is the first time that their husband and wife have confided in each other, and this is such a precious confession.She made up her mind, "I'm sorry, I won't force you to answer any questions anymore. As long as you love me, that's the answer to everything, and I don't need to know anything else." "But you said that if you tell the truth, I must also tell the truth." Li Jia seemed to have decided to go all out, "Mi'er, I have been hiding it for too long, and I am also very tired. What am I Let me tell you everything, your friend Zhang Xiaohui is my ex-girlfriend..." All speculations have been confirmed.All expectations have come true.However, all questions remain unanswered. The beginning of the story couldn't be simpler: Li Jia met Zhang Xiaohui through Gu Jianbo, and the two got along very well, but although Li Jia liked Xiaohui, she had no intention of getting married.And the more Xiaohui kept urging, the more annoying he felt.The two started arguing, and then one day, Xiaohui suddenly disappeared.Li Jia thought it was over, and quickly forgot about this person.Soon, he met Mi'er and fell in love at first sight... "You know the rest." Li Jia said distressedly, "I never knew about Xiaohui's pregnancy. If I had known in advance, I would not have made her suffer so much." "Will you marry her?" "I don't know." Li Jia said painfully, "There is no assumption about this kind of thing. Xiaohui and I have been together for half a year. I like her, but I always feel that she is too scheming and eager for quick success. The more she wants to get married, the more she wants to get married. The more I feel disgusted; but when I met you, I recognized you at the first sight, you are my wife, I want to marry you, and I want to be with you for the rest of my life. This is fate, which cannot be explained. " "I hurt Huihui." Mi'er said with tears, "When we fell in love, it was the time when Huihui gave birth. And the eve before our wedding was the day Huihui committed suicide. She must have heard that we got married. The news is suicide." "We got married too soon." Li Jia sighed, "I lost contact with Xiaohui for half a year, and I didn't know until the morning after we got married when I received a call from Gu Jianbo that Huihui committed suicide, and I still There is a child... This is a trick of fate, not anyone's fault. No one wants such a thing to happen, Mier, don't blame yourself too much." “可是我不能把慧慧的死当作没发生。我不能像你那样漠视生死。慧慧是我的朋友，她因我而死，我不能踩着她的尸骨寻欢作乐。” “咪儿，你说的太严重了！”李佳急了，“慧慧的死已经既成事实，我能怎么办？难道就因为怀念慧慧，就把自己的一辈子做陪葬吗？结婚前，我根本不知道你和晓慧是朋友。后来知道了，又能怎么样？跟你离婚吗？我就是怕你胡思乱想，才要一直瞒着你的。每天和自己的妻子捉迷藏，难道我自己不痛苦吗？你说过要分担我的心事，可是现在我把什么都告诉了你，却只得到你的埋怨，我们怎么同甘共苦？” 咪儿哑了。李佳说的都是大道理，理智上她也觉得他说的是对的，可是感情上，她却怎么也不能回避晓慧的死。 这个晚上，咪儿搬到了客房。她不能在得知真相后还继续和李佳同床共枕，她终于明白为什么李佳会在新婚时“性”趣索然，又长久以来郁郁寡欢了。她知道，李佳并不像他自己所说的那样冷漠无情，他心底的愧疚和负担比谁都重，作为他的妻子，她应该帮助他，安慰他，开解他。 But no.如果他辜负的是任何一个女人，她都可以原谅他；但那个人是小慧，是她的朋友。是李阮联姻直接导致小慧的自杀，是他们夫妻俩联手逼死了小慧，如今，她又怎能漠视慧慧之死再与李佳亲热？躺在李佳的床上，会让她觉得自己是在鸠占鹊巢。 自从结婚以来，他们夫妻就处于一种半凝冻的状态，彼此躲躲藏藏，若即若离；难得今天终于开诚布公，敞开心扉，然而冷冷的暗战，却也同时升级到明朗化了。 李佳痛苦地问：“咪儿，以后你都打算对我不理不睬了吗？” “我不知道。”咪儿也十分痛苦，“你别忘了，小慧的事情并没有结束，她还有个孩子，也就是你的孩子。” “我也一直在找他，还托了私家侦探暗访所有和小慧有交往的朋友。也就是因为这样，才会得到门海的资料的，要不，也不会拍了那些照片……” 咪儿益发羞愧：“李佳，我们两个，都是不折不扣的罪人，将来，会下地狱的。” “如果是跟你一起，我不在乎。咪儿，如果我找到了那个孩子，你会愿意同我一起抚养他吗？”李佳问，“小慧给你留了遗书，她说过希望你能收养那孩子，她是默许了我们在一起的。” “等找到孩子再说吧。” 咪儿绝望地想，她是永远也不可能原谅李佳的，也不能原谅自己，她和李佳的婚姻，从一开始就蒙上了死亡的阴影，注定要受到命运的诅咒，永无解脱之日。 如果可意能够把咪儿和陆雨两边的信息联系起来，那么就不难得出一个完整的结论，得出故事的最终答案：那就是古建波偷走了小慧的孩子，并以此要挟李佳，作为交换杂志社股份的条件。而那个孩子，此刻就藏在大连，古建波的父母家中。只要能找到孩子，并且合法地认父归宗，就可以阻止古建波重金要胁的阴谋。 但是一个误会阻截了她和陆雨的倾心交谈——也许不能算是误会，而只能叫做女人的敏感吧。可意一回到家，就感觉到了一种不同寻常的气息。女人对于自己的家园的捍卫，是靠嗅觉就可以完成的，并且毫厘不差。她敏感地觉察到有外人走进了自己的家，起初她倒也并没有多想，只是随意地问丈夫：“最近谁来过吗？” “没有，没有啊。”钱教授否认得未免太快也太郑重了，“你怎么这么想？” 可意没有深究，接着问：“陆雨已经来西安了吧？她跟你联系了没？” “没有。啊不，联系过一次。”钱教授支吾，“你不是让我给她接风吗？不过我听说她脚扭伤了，走路不方便，就没能请她吃饭。对了，她送了你一套茶具，我给拿回来了。” “陆雨脚伤了？”可意立刻就要给陆雨打电话。 陆雨的声音里有一种形容不出的疏远：“好得差不多了，我已经订了明天的机票，打算回去了。” “回大连？”可意奇怪，“你这次来西安，到底是什么事儿呀？” “已经办完了。”陆雨支吾。她来西安是为了去旬邑劳改农场看童钢，可是伤筋动骨一百天，这脚伤虽然已无大碍，长途跋涉走山路却是不可能，她也只有先回大连，养好伤再来西安了。没能看到童钢，却和钱教授之间摩擦出暧昧的火花，这使她有双重的犯罪感，觉得自己同时辜负了爱人和朋友，不愿意再多说一句话了。 这一次两个好朋友的见面，从头至尾都笼罩着一种怪异的客气和疏远。 可意感觉到了陆雨语气中的冷淡，然而陆雨一向便这么神神秘秘的，她仍然没有往自己身上去想，只是急于弄明白慧慧的事：“你不是说有秘密要告诉我吗？现在可以说了吧？” “现在……”陆雨改了主意，提到慧慧就要说到古建波，而说起古建波的诡计又不得不提起童钢的秘密，“还不是说的时候。” “干嘛鬼鬼祟祟的？”可意不在意地笑，“最讨厌你这个人吞吞吐吐了，倒和我们家钱教授有一比。” “你不要总是抱怨教授，他为人温和儒雅，又善良忠厚，又博学多才，你还不知足。” “呵，你只不过见了他一面，倒总结出这么多优点来。让给你要不要？” “你这是什么话？”陆雨恼了。 可意有些尴尬：“我不是开玩笑嘛，你怎么了？” 陆雨悻悻：“朋友开玩笑，也不是这么个开法。” 可意惊讶，陆雨也太不禁逗了，这不像她。她赶紧取出礼物来缓和气氛：“差点忘了，我在香港给你买了套'迪奥'护肤系列，咪儿送了你一套'迪奥'彩妆系列，我们俩凑成一整套。” 陆雨道了谢，顺口问：“你给钱教授买了什么礼物？” “一只钻表。”可意嘿笑，“3D-GOLD，罗纳尔多戴的牌子。” “那不便宜吧？” “一万八呢。把我心疼得捧着表人神交战了半天，简直像英雄断腕。要知道，我自己想要只'香奈尔'的皮包好几年了，国内卖要两万，香港只要一万二，我站在那儿看了半天，也没舍得买。香港的导购小姐很特别，如果她在招呼另外一个顾客，那么不论你跟她说什么，她都会请你'等一等'。我说'你只要告诉我一声多少钱就好。'她还是说'请等一等'——在招呼一位客人的时候，绝不可以同时应付另一位客人，这就是她们的职业操守。我在香港受到的最大教育，就是排队。” 陆雨大不自在：“钱教授在你心目中的位置是排在你自己前面的吧？自己不舍得买包，倒花大价钱给他买表。” “那倒也未必。”可意坦白地笑，“我给自己买只再贵的手袋，喜欢过了也就过了，照样不会一年四季常用；给他买只名表，他可以戴一辈子。我本来想过买只便宜点的，可后来一想啊，既然舍己助人地决定要让他感动，不如使劲感动他一回，要买就买只贵的，让他一次性感动死算了。” 可意兴致勃勃地讲述着自己的香港见闻，“我和咪儿还特意去看了场人妖表演，门票要一百六一张呢，不过很值，都是从泰妖人妖大赛中选出来的尖子，什么2005人妖皇后，2004人妖最上镜小姐什么的，真是活色生香，风情万种呀，让人看得真是绝望——男人都长成那样儿了，女人可怎么活呢？” 然而陆雨完全不感兴趣，她的思路仍然在那只手表上盘旋：“教授看到手表的时候，感动了吗？” “他呀，一只手戴着表，另一只手捧着，小心翼翼地，不像是手腕上戴了只表，倒像是表带上长了只手出来。”可意哈哈大笑，接着说：“我们去了海洋公园，其实到底是小孩子的玩意儿，没什么好玩的，海豚表演，鲨鱼馆，太平洋海岸……看来看去，都像是又回了一次大连，而且表演水准和规模还不如大连呢。大连被称为'北方香港'，真是没道理，不如把香港称为'南方大连'更合适。简直主次不分，正副颠倒。” 可意说着又笑起来，而陆雨的脸色在笑声中褪至雪白，只觉得可意每一句话都似乎另有所指。她很明白指桑骂槐并不是可意的个性，是她自己在疑心生暗鬼。 与此同时，她清楚地了解到的另一件事是：婚姻有很多种形态，无论是可意如何抱怨教授的乏味也好，或是教授嘲笑可意的懒散，但是他们两个人的心中是有彼此的，而且，他们仍在努力地讨好彼此。 陆雨第二天离开了西安。而可意也几乎同时离开了家。 事情败露在一杯茶上。那天晚上，可意从宾馆回到家，闷闷地说：“本来还想接陆雨过来多住两天呢，可她非要赶着明天就回大连，急什么呢？” 钱教授干笑，给妻子泡了一杯茶来，同时也给自己泡了一杯。 可意一尝，抬起头来：“是铁观音？好香。” “陆雨送的。”钱教授点头赞叹，“观音韵，圣妙香。卢仝《七碗茶》里说：'一碗喉吻润，两碗破孤闷，三碗搜枯肠，惟有文字五千卷'，喝这铁观音的时候，算是真正了解了。”说着，随手拈起一片泡展开的茶叶含在口中，静静咂摸着，眼睛望向极远的远方，又似乎一无所见。 可意忽然就愣住了。这语气，这神态，这含茶叶的小动作，都是陆雨的招牌表现。陆雨和钱教授，决不只是仅仅见了一面那么简单。只见一面，一个人对另一个人的影响不会这么深厚；只是泛泛之交，一个人对另一个人的记忆也不会这么深沉。 铁观音，是陆雨打在钱教授身上的烙印。陆雨，曾经来过自己的家里，在这里住过，为钱教授演练过茶道，同钱教授交流过人生，所以，他们对彼此才会有那样的激赏与认同。 一念既起，可意立刻凭着她女人的直觉，在屋子里发现了陆雨留下的种种痕迹，从那片茶香中看到了自己没来得及参与的整个故事。凭着对丈夫和好友双方面的了解，她完全可以想象得出，她们曾经在这个屋檐下度过了怎样的时光。她知道，他们之间并不至于越轨，然而他们的心，必然曾经碰撞。否则，便无需毁尸灭迹，隐瞒事实。 可意用自己的手臂抱着自己的肩，冷冷地看着丈夫迷醉在茶香中的神情，感到某种疯狂的情愫从自己的心底慢慢升起。丈夫爱上了自己的女友，这是在可意的小说中曾经出现过的情节，如今在她的生活中真实重演了。这让她几乎有种宿命般的悲观绝望，而悲哀的是，她不能明白地询问，因为问了，钱教授也不会承认，那只是逼他说出更多的谎言，同时也是逼自己的好朋友做出更多的背叛。也许他们会歇斯底里地大吵大闹，摔东西，互相指责谩骂，他为了洗脱自己的罪过而挑剔她的懒散，恼羞成怒时会说出一些刻毒的、杀伤力极强的、将来必定让两个人都觉得后悔的话，也许会摔东西，离家出走，甚至大打出手，她会像泼妇一样哭闹，他则斯文扫地气急败坏地撕破所有面具，让彼此看到世间最丑恶的面目。 ——需要那样吗？ 不，即使婚姻破灭，可意也希望可以为自己、为对方保留最后的尊严与尊重。身为作家的悲哀就是，在一件事情开始之前，她已经完全可以预见那事情的结果。因此，她非但不可以像寻常的主妇那样打破砂锅问到底，反而好像自己做了错事一般，要急急地掩饰，远离，逃避，假装什么都不知道，一切都没发生。 岳可意在自己的想象里完成了整个争吵的过程，而最后却一言未发，蜷曲着自己度过了睡在丈夫身边的最后一夜，屈辱的一夜。 泪水打湿了枕巾，她整夜都没有换过姿势。 第二天一早，在陆雨回到大连的同时，可意也前脚跟后脚地离开西安，回到了北京。 而一段本来有可能大白于天下的慧慧遗孤之谜，也被掩埋在错位情谜的真相下，再次同四位好友擦肩而过。
