Chapter 14 4. Oedipus complex

When Pei Xiaolong walked out of the campus alone carrying his schoolbag, it was dusk.Autumn evenings always come quickly.The sunset is burning like a flame, covering half of the sky in the city, as if it is playing the last colorful movement, but it is constantly reducing and dimming, which evokes a sense of the distance beyond this city. desire. Suddenly, a girl rushed out from the sideways of the street. She waved her schoolbag excitedly, as if she was about to hit him on the head.He was startled. "Hey, idiot, I asked people to wait for you for a long time!" Pei Xiaolong opened his eyes and saw that it was the girl who passed the note to him in class today and blinked, her name was Huang Minmin. The big ghostly eyes were full of charming, aggressive, and ruthless, three different kinds of seductive gazes.

"Strange! I didn't make an appointment with you, so I told you to wait for me." Pei Xiaolong replied coldly. "Then why didn't you tell me your cell phone number?!" the girl said angrily. "Don't say I don't have that stuff, if I do, why should I tell you?!" Pei Xiaolong walked forward without hesitation, and the girl said behind his back: "You bastard!" Seeing that Pei Xiaolong was still ignoring him, he became anxious, and rushed forward in three steps and two steps, standing in a "ten" He stopped him and said, "Hey, new here, you have a personality, how about we make friends?"

"We can't afford it!" Pei Xiaolong said with a sullen head, and then hurried to the bus stop. The girl was really in a hurry, so she chased after her, and said, "Hey, don't run away, I'm new here, there's never been a boy who would reject me..." The bus stop is always crowded, a lot of people are chaotic.It was time to get off work, and when I managed to catch a car, everyone squeezed into the car door like canned sardines.When Xiaolong squeezed against the car door, the girl just arrived with her schoolbag. She cleverly pushed her way through the crowd and got in front of Pei Xiaolong.Xiaolong took her by the back and pushed her into the car door. The girl excitedly instructed him: "Hold on, push on!"

Seeing that the two were about to squeeze in and the car door was about to close, Pei Xiaolong suddenly slid down and slipped back to the station.The car door closed with a bang and started, the girl was so anxious that she knocked on the window door desperately. Pei Xiaolong waved to her in the darkening twilight, showing a mischievous and weird smile. Pei Xiaolong returned home and rang the doorbell.It was my mother who opened the door, and she seemed a little anxious to wait.Xiaolong had a burst of impulse and hugged her in his arms! ... He pictured himself as a grown man, picking up his mother like a child, but his staggering steps made her giggle, but she was very proud of her son.

"How is it, Xiaolong, how are you doing at school today?" "En." He answered vaguely, thought for a while and said, "A new acting class teacher has arrived." "What's your impression?" She looked at his hair, and slowly stroked it with her fingers, "I said her impression of you, or your impression of her?" Xiaolong didn't say anything.Children of this age don't like to talk about school with their parents.This is a well known secret.She didn't ask any further questions, but said to him quietly: "Your father cooks for you by himself."

Just at this moment, he heard footsteps, turned his head slightly, and saw his father coming out of the kitchen with oily fumes, he couldn't help but move, broke free from his mother's arms, and walked into his study . "Aren't you going to have dinner together?" His father stopped him. "No. I have a lot of homework to do. Just bring the food to my room." "Ugh……".The father sighed, shook his head and said to his wife, "This is the child of today. Not bad at all, only child syndrome! Look at your spoiled son." "Aren't you also used to him?!" The mother retorted, "Which family's children are not so weird now? Slowly address him."

After dinner, the night outside the window was already thick.Father also returned to his room. He wanted to rest his body and mind, so he used a CD to play a piece of classical music he liked.The melodious melody floated in the room, and then went through the window, into the thick night. At this time, Pei Xiaolong walked into the room and turned off the music.Father froze for a moment, turned on the music again, but adjusted the volume very lightly.Xiaolong didn't give up, and turned it off again.Father is annoyed now!He shouted in his mouth: "Okay! You are against the sky! Boy, your bones are itchy."

He grabbed his son and slapped him in the air.Pei Xiaolong raised his head stubbornly, looking at the slap in the air.Father gritted his teeth and tried in mid-air, but couldn't fall.At this time, my mother rushed into the room and shouted: "Look at you two, you two are really fighting. Hurry up and stop!" The father was so angry that he could only yell at his wife: "Look, this is the rebellious son you taught! I don't know what evil happened to him today, so I just dealt with his father like this!" The wife said: "Why are you yelling? Don't be ashamed, it makes the neighbors feel uneasy. Xiaolong has to do his homework, so you can't hold back and don't listen to that thing?!"

Then he said to his son: "Xiaolong, how could you treat Dad like this, you are too unruly. Why don't you confess to your dad soon?!" "I was wrong!" Pei Xiaolong said abruptly, and went back to his room. The couple stared blankly and looked at each other. The father said: "I said this child is sick, you should take him to see a psychiatrist as soon as possible." Mother said: "Perhaps, what kind of anger did you get at school today? It's really a little bewitched!" "How come the older you get, the more rebellious you become?" The father was stunned for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Maybe, he already knew the secret of his birth?"

His wife quickly pressed his lips with her index finger, and said in a low voice, "This is absolutely impossible, don't guess!" It was not until late at night that the mother came into the son's room.She didn't say a word, just put her arms around her son's head quietly.And Pei Xiaolong was trying his best to suppress his feelings for her.He hardly saw, too, a tear, slowly running down his mother's face--a big teardrop, which enlarged the pores where it flowed, as if it had been in a secret deep well. In the midst of it, it was only now that it emerged, a sharp dull pain flashed in her heart, and even tears could not relieve it.

Xiaolong seemed to be aware of his mother's emotional changes, and he couldn't help comforting his mother guiltily: "Mom, I was wrong. I really shouldn't have treated Dad like this. I just feel so annoyed inside." "Mom knows." There was a sad smile on the mother's face, but she still felt relieved for a moment, like a refreshing wind blowing in her heart, she told her son: "Mom will go on a business trip again soon, this time to go abroad. , with a medical team to the Middle East. What I am worried about is your studies. Xiaolong, your English is not good, and it is difficult to get into a good university. I want to ask a teacher to help you with tutoring." Pei Xiaolong remained silent.The mother continued: "I heard that there is a teacher in your school who also graduated from the university where my mother studied before. My mother's classmates and professors in that university are inquiring for me. If I can inquire, See if you can find a suitable tutor for you." The son listened quietly, noncommittal.However, he suddenly lowered his head and asked his mother: "Mom, can I really not sleep next to you in the future?" His mother scratched the bridge of his nose and said with a smile: "You are a boy, you are old enough to live independently. Besides, do you want your father to be jealous?" "Then..." Xiaolong thought for a while and asked again: "Mom, can you let me hug you again?" Mother knew that his "eccentricity" was coming again.Others' children like to grab their mother's hair, or hug their mother's neck and other parts of their body to fall asleep; while their own son likes to sleep with his mother's calf since he was a child, and sometimes even uses his mother's toes as a feeding bottle head to lick or gnaw on.However, now that her son has grown up, she feels a little shy.She just lowered her head and agreed softly. Pei Xiaolong leaned down, and bare his mother's skirt to his knees, revealing a section of plump and well-proportioned calves, with obvious bulges and beautiful lines, very smooth and white, with green tendons and blood vessels, just like the dots on a map Rivers, staggered distribution.The smell from the muscles he had known since childhood reassured and fascinated him.He thought blankly: This is the mother's leg... Yu Meilin and her boyfriend are watching a movie in the theater. Exquisite theaters and expensive ticket prices make the audiences watching movies in the theaters always sparse, and there will never be a full house day.Gone are the glory days of the crowded and noisy movie theaters of the sixties and seventies. However, Yu Meilin felt that the deserted theater made her feel more comfortable.When the music in the film plays melodiously and slowly, in the dim and gentle light, it gives people a feeling of confusion and a desire to be hugged and kissed. Her boyfriend Cheng Yifen is her classmate in college. The two have been in love for many years, but there are very few opportunities for intimacy.The boyfriend also works in a Hong Kong-funded company and often travels between Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Guangdong. This is one reason why the relationship between them cannot heat up quickly. Yu Meilin was next to her boyfriend, and she hoped that he would bow his head and secretly give her a kiss, because in the dim light, there was nothing unnatural or shy about doing so, and it was more comfortable here than in the park or on the street. It is private, more poetic and stimulating, as if people are watching from the abyss. This is how Yu Meilin gave him hints. She wrote on the palm of his hand, kicked him, pinched his arm, scratched his armpit, while her boyfriend always looked around shyly, as if waiting for the next one. great opportunity. The opportunity finally did not come, and the movie ended.Opportunities don't know their value and fleetingness until they are lost.Yu Meilin felt dissatisfied with her desires, so she told her boyfriend: "Go away from me and don't touch my hand." Knowing that she was angry, her boyfriend comforted her and said, "Lin, we can find a place where there are no people. In a movie theater, there are so many people, I'm really not used to it..." "I just like being in the cinema." Yu Meilin said coquettishly. "But I'm really not used to it. I've never been taught that way since I was a child." The boyfriend argued embarrassingly. When Yu Meilin heard this, she became angry.She said teasingly: "Yes, you are a child of a decent family, a good son of your mother. Your mother said that you are not allowed to touch a girl's hand casually, and you are not allowed to kiss a girl's mouth before marriage. In short, you can't , one thousand, ten thousand are not allowed. Oedipus complex!" The boyfriend scratched his head in embarrassment, speechless. Yu Meilin said again: "I'm really surprised, how could I find a boy like you as a lover?" "Why, do you regret it?" The boyfriend felt at a loss. Seeing him like this, Yu Meilin laughed out loud.Where she feels his "weakness" may be where he is "safe" and cute. Seeing her smile, Yifen boldly said, "Lin, go see my parents next weekend. In this way, we can get engaged as soon as possible." Yu Meilin gasped and said, "I told you earlier, I won't go. Before I become your daughter-in-law, I don't want to accept the scrutiny of my future parents-in-law." Yifen didn't want to make the atmosphere that had already calmed down become rigid again, so he changed the subject and said, "I remembered one thing, you told me last time that psychological counseling requires supervision. I have a very good friend , introduced me to an excellent psychologist named Cong Changmin, a doctor of psychology who came back from studying in Japan. I heard that he is very successful. My friend said that he can introduce you to meet him and let him be your psychological supervisor. What do you think? how?" Yu Meilin said coquettishly: "You don't think I'm sick, so you set up a trick to make me see a psychiatrist?" "This is the biggest unjust case in the world. How dare I do it? You didn't entrust it first. Besides, I will have to come and see my heart disease in the future." The boyfriend argued.Then he remembered one thing and said: "By the way, there is a 'white-collar psychological salon' tonight, Mr. Cong Changmin will also be there, shall we go and have a look?" Yu Meilin originally wanted to spend the night alone with her boyfriend doing nothing, but she was very curious about the "Psychological Salon", so she wanted to see it. The salon is in an old villa.There are several chic parlors with elegant decorations, and the large parlor on the first floor is full before eight o'clock in the evening.Beautiful tapestries are hung on the surrounding walls, and the tapestries are dotted with various bright patterns, which look exotic.When Yu Meilin and the others entered, they smelled a faint fragrance of flower essence. It is said that an "aroma therapy" was performed in the living room before. In the salon meeting in the living room, someone was reading a new poem called "Contradiction", which was avant-garde and striking: "What kind of contradictory life do we have? The isolated attitude of living in the high-rise, the narrow concept of the highway; the house is getting bigger and bigger, the family is getting smaller and smaller; the life is comfortable and convenient, but the time is tight; the communication is getting faster and faster, and the communication is getting less and less. We are so busy purifying the air but not seeing the polluted mind, more and more big shots and smaller personalities; we talk too much, do too little, hate too much, love too little, plan too much So much, so little done; we go fast, we don't stop and wait... "What kind of contradictory lives do we have? Love is sold everywhere, but we can't find the one we should love; the closet is full, but we always feel that there are still a few things missing; Small; we finally found a family, but suddenly found that love was gone; we were finally able to buy a car and drive, but found that there was no smooth road; we always complained that our ears were not quiet enough, but we lost ourselves as soon as we left the phone; our In my heart, there are always two voices; I want more and better tomorrow, but I miss the past with nothing..." Yu Meilin thinks the point of view of this poem is sharp and sharp, but she thinks it is a bit cynical and lacks poetic taste and artistic conception, so she doesn't like it very much.While her boyfriend was looking for Cong Changmin, she changed to another living room for the party. The atmosphere there is more relaxed, and a group of people are doing a small test called "love psychology", which is required for all newcomers.The person who wrote the question used "house", "tiger", "rabbit" and "myself", asking Yu Meilin to make up a short story based on her intuition.Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Yu Meilin readily agreed. She thought for a while and said, "I saw a cute little rabbit, but a tiger was chasing me fiercely. I was so scared that I quickly threw the rabbit to the tiger, and then ran to hide in my house..." Everyone burst into laughter, and the host quickly said to her, "Wow, I never thought you were such a timid person! Let me tell you, the tiger represents your husband or wife, and the rabbit represents your lover." , and the house represents your family. It seems that you will be a 'man-management' family woman in the future. And you will not have any affairs in the future." After hearing this, Yu Meilin felt that it was acceptable. At this time, her boyfriend also came in and told her that Dr. Cong Changmin was not here today, but he had made an appointment via mobile phone to meet the day after tomorrow.Yu Meilin thought: just right, let her boyfriend do it too, and test him by the way. The boyfriend didn’t refuse, and his story turned out to be: “In the deep mountains, I saw a tiger chasing a cute little rabbit, I quickly opened the door, let the rabbit run in and hide, and then drove the tiger away ..." When Yu Meilin heard her boyfriend's story, she was not only disappointed but also very sad, so she secretly called him "heartless" and "a heartless person".She glared at him fiercely, making her boyfriend bewildered.But she saw that everyone was laughing, and it was not easy to get angry on the spot, so she wanted to wait until she got out of this place before "cleaning up" him. At this time, another well-dressed and imposing man broke in. Everyone saw that he was a young entrepreneur who had been "exposed" frequently in newspapers and magazines recently. It was said that he had a successful career and his net worth approached hundreds of millions of yuan. .So everyone clamored for him to make up the story again.He thought for a while, and said boldly: "I was in the forest, and I saw a vicious tigress. I followed the hero in "Water Margin", and beat it to death. When I got home, I opened the door. When I looked at the door, wow! The whole room is full of rabbits!" After hearing this, everyone laughed out of breath.But Yu Meilin became more and more angry. She didn't want to stay in the salon anymore, so she winked and told her boyfriend to back out with her.She was going to give him a good beating.
