Chapter 18 Twenty-four bridges are still

When many people saw Mary, they could not believe that she had a ten-year-old son.Look at her, with fair skin, a flat belly, a graceful figure, and a sweet smile.The most provocative thing is a pair of eyes, actually with a naive girlishness. Of course, when Mary meets her friends, she doesn't deliberately mention her son.I have to mention it when I occasionally receive a call from the nanny, and most of the people who hear it have an expression of "I was shocked at that time". Mary married early and had her child at twenty-three.When my son was three years old, he got divorced.It was a wrong marriage, and Mary now thinks of her ex-husband with only two shots.One is that he drove her on a motorcycle and yelled "Mary, I love you"; the other was that she was knocked to the ground by him, and her right cheek and self-esteem were severely trampled.

Mary that year couldn't believe how divided her life was.How can someone who loves you hurt you so much? This "then" can be replaced by many other words.Like "deep".People who love you deeply will hurt you deeply.Like "no".People who don't love you won't hurt you. Later they divorced and the children belonged to Mary.Because of the child, the two entangled several times, until the ex-husband had a new love, and the new love also had a child, and Mary's life calmed down. Because of her disheartened heart, Mary didn't go to work again, and she didn't want to find a second love.After her son was sent to kindergarten, she opened a Taobao shop at home to sell clothes.Her high school classmate Jiang Jin's family owned a garment factory.With his resources, Mary imitated many big-name clothes.Mary has a little talent for making clothes without a teacher. There is no need to buy genuine products. Mary follows the photos and makes decent clothes.

The clothes were brought back from the factory, and Mary herself acted as a model and took pictures in front of the mirror.Jiang Jin walked around her Taobao store and said, "Well, I'll be your photographer." Mary said, "Okay, here you go." Mary is a standard clothes rack that looks good in anything. Jiang Jin brought back the new Canon 6D, which was hot to the touch, and learned while shooting.The two were out shooting all day, and it seems that taking photos is not work, but fun.The best photos of Mary under Jiang Jin's lens were all candid shots.She has a side face with vertically long hair, her eyes are lowered, and her red lips painted with MAC are slightly raised.It seems to be wronged, and it seems to be asking for a kiss.

It was when Jiang Jin's messy breathing betrayed his messy lust while looking at the photos in the study of Mary's house.He held Mary's face in his arms all of a sudden, and said to her, "Did anyone tell you how good-looking you are?" Before Mary could answer, Jiang Jin's kiss came over her. Mary responded, as if she had foreseen this day in her heart: they would take off the coat of friendship and go to bed. It's just that Mary is not sure whether she also likes Jiang Jin.It was undeniable that she loved the soul throbbing of being with him physically and mentally.But when it was all over, she got up to take a shower, and the shower washed her, and her doubts.

After a long time, Mary and her thirty-nine-year-old blind date talked about Jiang Jin. Mary said: "He must have loved me for a long time." For a long time, Jiang Jin was not even a friend to Mary, but just a high school classmate.He sent Mary home for three years, quietly, like a stalker.Mary remembers that she was in love with a boy at that time, and she went to the alley every day after school.One day, Jiang Jin passed by them on a bicycle and said to her: "You go home quickly, your father is waiting for you at the entrance of the alley." Mary was so frightened that she quickly separated from her boyfriend and ran towards the alley.Although Mary spared her father's beating that time, she didn't have a good impression of Jiang Jin.She was a little scared at the thought that she was being followed.

After graduating from high school, the boyfriend who took away her first kiss never contacted her again, and Jiang Jin was the one who kept asking for warmth and asking for a meeting. In the winter vacation of freshman year, high school classmates reunited and sang in KTV.Jiang Jin sang "Xiao Wei", but changed Xiao Wei's name to Mary.Everyone knew that he liked Mary, and they made a match with booing and laughing.But Mary patted him on the shoulder in front of everyone and said, "Ah Jin, let's be good friends and buddies for life, shall we?" He vaguely remembered Jiang Jin's bitter smile, but he didn't nod.

Mary also couldn't explain why she just didn't accept Jiang Jin.Probably a kind of pride and conceit that many girls will have unconsciously.Many years later, Mary compared herself to the Internet and found that she was a so-called "green tea bitch" when she was young. In her life, there has never been a shortage of men who will continue to love her.The year she rejected Jiang Jin, she was in love with a man from the Northeast.Of course, she couldn't remember many things between them.I just remember that he is old man, always domineering, and always likes to brag. After that, Mary fell in love, fell in love, got married, and had children non-stop.During that time, she only received a few messages from Jiang Jin on the Internet.One was when she got married, he said congratulations.One is after she gave birth to a baby, he asked: "Like you or like him?" Another is when she divorced, he asked: "Do you need help?"

The first two Marys didn't reply, but the last one, Mary said: "Help me find a lawyer, I want a child." Probably from then on, Jiang Jin became an important man to Mary.Mary had had sex with many men, but they were not important.After having a relationship with Jiang Jin, she didn't feel that they were getting closer because of it.But Jiang Jin became very important in the two years after Mary's divorce.There are phone calls almost every day, about the children's affairs, in the store, and some men's work at home, she always looks for Jiang Jin.She never felt embarrassed looking for him, even took it for granted, like he owed her.

Maybe it was because she deliberately felt that the two of them got what they needed.She used his body, and he used her body. Tracing back to the source, it was because she was a divorced woman with a child at that time, and he already had a fiancée chosen by his parents. Mary knew that neither she nor Jiang Jin could do anything about reality.So every time, after they embraced each other deeply and reached the softest shore of each other, Jiang Jin would feel depressed.And Mary always comforted him like this: "Don't say sorry to love." One summer afternoon, the sun was shining brightly.Mary was editing pictures in the room, and Jiang Jin was calling outside the door.As soon as she opened the door, she saw him sweating profusely.

"What's the matter?" asked Mary, "running so fast?" "I'm going to get the certificate tomorrow." "Oh." Mary nodded, then smiled again, "Just because of this?" Then she saw Jiang Jin get excited, and the ice coke he was drinking was thrown on the ground by him.He jumped over from the sofa and grabbed her shoulder.She felt the strength in his hand was increasing, and heard him growl out of anger and despair: "You don't know what you lost! Do you have a heart?!" Mary nodded, indeed it seemed that something important had been lost by her.

The result with Jiang Jin was foreseen by Mary and accepted in her heart.Fortunately, Taobao’s business is very good, renting an office, recruiting customer service, and contacting new garment manufacturers.If you have money, you can earn it desperately, so you don't want to bother about what you lost. Later, Mary heard from another high school classmate.Jiang Jin was beaten on the leg by his father with a steel pipe because of his marriage and family quarrels, and he wore steel nails for several months.Of course, he compromised in the end and got married with his girlfriend with steel nails. The wedding was grand and lively. Goodbye, it's a year later.The 10th anniversary party of high school graduation, the person in charge of the party is very considerate, only remembering classmates, family members are not allowed, and it is strictly forbidden to drive to show off your wealth and children. Mary saw Jiang Jin at a glance in the crowd, and met his gaze.It was so strange, Mary turned around and adjusted her breathing quietly. Her heartbeat was so fast, like Cinderella who had been enchanted and was about to see through her disguise. All night long, Mary waited. Finally the party was over, standing at the door of the clubhouse, Mary wrapped her scarf.Jiang Jin leaned over and asked her with a playful smile: "Miss me?" Mary smelled his familiar scent and almost fell over.She has kept her loneliness for a whole year, and it is even more grand at this moment.So she wanted to stand on the opposite side of morality and be self-willed for a while. She opened her arms to him and said, "Well, I miss you very much." In Jiang Jin's arms, Mary was full physically and mentally.For the first time since my divorce, being single isn't all that fun. Jiang Jin didn't want to go home that night, so Mary pushed him back and forth, comforting him and saying, "If you want us to have a future." Jiang Jin jumped up and went home. Mary was left tossing and turning on the big bed alone.The shame of being involved in someone else's family tormented her.She knew it was wrong, but the next time Jiang came to look for her, she would still open her arms to him.Love is the poppy of the body, which cannot be pushed away at all. Then one day, she received a call from a stranger, only a woman scolded with a sneer, "Shameless." After hanging up the phone, Mary pressed her hands to her eyes.She was putting on makeup at the time, and had an appointment with Jiang Jin for dinner at night.Her heart ached, and she didn't dare to open her eyes to look at herself in the mirror. But she still put on a beautiful makeup, smiling and looking forward to it all night.It was a perfect night, when she came out of the hotel, under the moonlight, she took the initiative to kiss him.That lingering kiss almost used up all her strength and took her breath away. It feels like countless hearts are shattering in the air while shouting "I love you". Love is letting go and not letting you down. Mary broke up with Jiang Jin with a text message.The words were so decisive that there seemed to be no room for maneuver.It happened that the new house was decorated, moved to a new house, and changed the number.Mary disappeared from Jiang Jin's world. This is another two years. Taobao has been doing business, but the business is not as good as before.Mary opened a dessert shop and a coffee house, and she is still busy every day.Most of the time, the dessert shop is run by trusted staff, and Mary stays in the cafe. The cafe is not big, it is also a book bar, there are many books, and most of the people who come here are young artists.There is a long table in the middle of the store. Occasionally, companies will bring their employees to have seminars with desserts and coffee. That's how I met Jiang Jin by chance. Both inside and outside the bar were stunned.Mary found that her heart was still, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Long time no see." Where his ring finger is, there is no ring.Mary already has a blind date.Thirty-nine years old, divorced, no children.Treat Mary's son very kindly. After closing late at night, Mary sat alone at the bar and drank some tequila.When I am slightly drunk, I want to cry.I don't know how to explain it to myself, fate is playing tricks, or I am not brave enough for love.Mary and her blind date talked about Jiang Jin.Of course the latter was aware of the longing and heartbreak in her plain voice, and chose to let go. Jiang Jin did not come to see Mary again.Until a month later, she received a text message from him, "I broke up with my girlfriend." Then I received another small package, which contained a ticket to Yangzhou and a piece of yellowed composition paper. It was a weekly diary she wrote when she was in high school. The teacher once read it on the podium: "After many years, I hope that I can go to Yangzhou once in March when everything is recovering, see the Slender West Lake, and walk across the Ersi Bridge. , Tracing back to the eight monsters of Yangzhou, try Yangzhou fried rice. It is best if you have a lover to accompany you, if not, just feel youthful alone, and then meet your lover. "It is said that you will get what you believe in. Those who believe in love will get love." Mary read the girl's original intentions over and over again, and Jiang Jin's face became clearer and clearer over and over again. Yangzhou is really beautiful.Forest City, the air is bitter.Mary took the beautiful bus to find the scenery in her mind. Then she finally ran into Jiang Jin in front of a bus stop that was not considered a tourist attraction.He was so caring, he found a way for her to love, let her just be brave, follow the guidance of her heart, travel through the rings of time, and love for the first time like meeting for the first time. Mary walked toward him, lucky to have found a lover in the midst of the ages and the crowds. The twenty-fourth bridge is still there, the heart is shaking, and the cold moon is silent. The world is contradictory.There are good and bad trajectories for any one thing.The same thing, seen by different eyes, suffered by different circumstances, is actually a different feeling. It's like two sides of a coin, one is a rational number and the other is an emotional flower. Understanding is the most powerful weapon between people. In order to love you better, so, I want to understand you.
