Chapter 15 Section Fourteen

I arrived on time at the villa where I was dating Song Xiaoyuan. The car I drove was parked outside the villa, together with Song Xiaoyuan's car—the two identical luxury cars stood side by side, like a pair of beautiful twin brothers.In fact they are produced in the same country and in the same factory, even with the same name.I paid two hundred thousand dollars to buy them in the US.In fact, it would cost me nearly half a million dollars to get them running on Chinese soil.Because I settled in China after paying high taxes for them.They are luxurious and expensive, and they are the leaders of the car family.

Each of the two regal cars has its own owner: I use one and give the other to Song Xiaoyuan.I don't understand why I bought a car for Song Xiaoyuan?Someone gave her a car ten years ago, who am I?Although the car I sent is advanced, it is not as good as others. I remember that her first car was given by the very rich Hong Kong man, and I think the second one is also. After that, she changed one every two years.She had just bought a new car when I was about to give it to her.She said that she bought it with her own money, and no one has given her a car now.I said that I now have a new car, which is very beautiful, and I want to give it to the person who deserves it.The car is parked outside the villa now, I wonder if you will take a fancy to it.

Song Xiaoyuan's eyes are sharp: Really? I said of course. I took out the car keys and gave them to her. She readily accepted.Then we came out of the villa.When she saw the car I gave her, it was parked at this place. "Wow! It's so beautiful!" She stretched out her arms in praise. "Tong Han, thank you." She looked at the car inside and out and came back after running a few kilometers and said to me: "I have never driven such a good car, how did you think of buying it for me?" I said: "Many years ago I When I went to the United States, I wanted to buy it for you. But I had no money at that time. I thought that when I had money, I would definitely buy it for you. Now I finally got my wish."

Song Xiaoyuan said: "Tong Han, I will take good care of this car." I said, "What about that car you just bought?" "Get rid of it," she said. "I'll give you this car, and when you get tired of playing with it, will you also dispose of it?" Song Xiaoyuan said, "What are you worried about? Even if you abandon me, I won't hate this car!" Song Xiaoyuan likes this car more than me.For a while she wasn't even seen.As soon as I inquired, she drove out for a ride all day long, running two to three hundred kilometers a day, and lived wherever she was tired or late.A few days ago I heard that she went to Guilin, of course she drove there.But today she came back in a hurry, probably because of my birthday.

The door of the villa was opened by Song Xiaoyuan for me, I guess she was the only one.Her old nanny was fired by her, and a new nanny has not yet been found. And it is impossible for that wealthy Hong Kong man to come again, because he had a stroke when he went to Thailand and is said to have been paralyzed.Now take him back to Hong Kong and be served by his wife.The villa he gave Song Xiaoyuan more than ten years ago was like a ship without a captain, which made Song Xiaoyuan completely free and liberated, and of course I was allowed to come and go. Song Xiaoyuan said that I was a pirate and hijacked her ten years ago.And I said she was a siren who seduced me ten years ago.

Neither of us was wrong. Before I followed her I had nothing, a desperate bum.But after she charmed me and I became obsessed with her, my life or fortune was bright. My luck came when I traded a man's virginity. I lost my virginity in her bed, to the delight and mercy of this rich and romantic woman.She said she must train and make me a man of the upper class. For this she paid to send me to America. She believes that real men also need packaging to stand out, just as real products must have exquisite surfaces to be popular and expensive. So she sent me abroad, and it was the United States.She believes in America, and she only believes in America.

I was like a bird destined to fly in paradise and had no choice but to go to America. I was gilded in America, and of course received scholarship and training.I soon became the great Chinese in the eyes of Americans or the superman among the Chinese, because no one worked harder than me, and no one was smarter than me-hardworking like a farmer, suffering like a prisoner, and like a genius Flexible and dazzling like a star. When I came to the US from China, I didn't have an advanced degree because I didn't go to college.I don't have much money in my pocket, because Song Xiaoyuan asked me to support myself.But after four years, I got a master's degree from Harvard University and made $300,000!I have the all-important diploma and money.

When I returned to China from the United States, I had a crown on my head and a lot of money on my body.The right time, the right place, and the harmony of people.The halo on my crown brings me even greater glory.And my existing capital has earned me amazing wealth!I am a successful man.And behind me, stood two special women—although they were two completely different women, they both loved me deeply.They are always standing behind me, giving me support, consideration, inspiration and comfort.They are proud of me and aging for me. Thirty-nine-year-old Song Xiaoyuan has lost her former youthful beauty.She is standing in an empty villa now, opening the door for me.

"Didn't expect you to come on time," she said. "That is, you think I'll be late?" I said. "I thought you weren't coming?" she said. "You are wrong in both ways." "I misread you again," she said. "Are you acting like you're inviting me to dinner?" She smiled, "Come in." I go into the villa. I stood in the bleak living room of the villa as I stood in the bottom of a ship.Countless things were placed in a mess, as if they were worthless goods.In fact, everything here is famous and expensive: the Italian sofa worth 50,000 yuan, the huge Tang Sancai, the authentic paintings of Xu Beihong and Zhang Daqian, and the invincible herbs and so on.But now these things are scattered and covered in dust.

The huge living room made me feel ashamed, because I couldn't find a clean stool to sit on.Song Xiaoyuan had already gone upstairs, but when she saw that I wasn't following, she came down again.She called me from the step in the middle of the stairs: "Tong Han, come up, come upstairs." "You should get a nanny ASAP!" I said. "I've looked for it," she said, "I've tried several times, but it doesn't work. It's too much!" "What's too much?" I said as I walked upstairs. "It's either too stupid or too tricky," she said. "Some don't even know how to make coffee, and they have been taught several times. If they know how to make coffee, she will taste it first!" "Your nanny is pretty good, why did you fire her?" "She's in a relationship! "Song Xiaoyuan said, "When she was sleeping with me, she secretly called her boyfriend. I was not at home, and she actually got him at home. It's okay!" "Really?" I said, "So The master is romantic, and the servant is also romantic!" "You still say! Don't help me." Song Xiaoyuan scolded. "Still making sarcastic remarks."

"how can I help you?" "Find a better nanny," she said. "I'm so busy," I said. "If you don't look for it, that's fine," Song Xiaoyuan's expression darkened. "I'll live like this!" "Okay, I'll look for it." I said. Song Xiaoyuan turned her head and glared at me, and couldn't help laughing. I went upstairs. Song Xiaoyuan was obviously going to take me into the bedroom, her direction was direct and clear, and my consciousness was also very clear.At this moment, my mind was turning: We should have dinner first, light candles, blow out candles, and eat cake after blowing out candles. I went into the bedroom.I didn't expect dinner and cake to be placed in the bedroom! "You're so ingenious," I said. "Sarcasm or praise?" Song Xiaoyuan said. "Praise, you sure want compliments," I said. "Then you are trying to mock me, it's just that you are hypocritical." Song Xiaoyuan quarreled again. "I don't want to be sarcastic," I said. "I'm just being funny." "Admitted it?" Song Xiaoyuan said, "The meaning of humor is irony. Isn't it?" "Yes, I'm sorry." I said, "I shouldn't be ironic about you." Song Xiaoyuan felt even more aggrieved and said: "I celebrate your birthday sincerely. I cook in the kitchen myself, and I want to cook delicious food for you. When cutting vegetables, my hand was accidentally cut with blood. It was hard to make a few dishes. , to be satirized by you." I hurriedly stretched out my hand, "Where is the injury? Let me see." I held Song Xiaoyuan's hands as I spoke. "Right hand!" Xiaoyuan said.I kept Xiaoyuan's right hand and put her left hand down.Then I immediately saw her injured finger. Specifically, the index finger of her right hand was injured but had been bandaged with gauze.I saw the injured part of her index finger, but couldn't see the wound. "Is the wound deep?" I said. "Not deep!" She was annoyed. "Does it hurt?" "It doesn't hurt!" "It's fine if it doesn't hurt." I said. "I know you want me to hurt," she said. "It hurts me to death, you gloat!" "Xiaoyuan, don't say that." I said. "Just say it," she said. "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't cook for you. Ask for trouble." I read every dish she cooked with a mouth watering look.I even moved the chopsticks to pick up the food and send it to my mouth.Her work is respected by me, just like the work of a literati is admired by the world.She saw that I was eating with such relish, and her anger disappeared. "I don't wash my hands, like a villager," she said. "I'm so lucky today that I don't want to wash it," I said. "When I wash my hands, all the blessings are washed away. Not only do I not wash my hands, I also don't brush my teeth. If I brush my teeth, I won't have this good fortune." Song Xiaoyuan smiled happily. Both her and I became calm, and a birthday atmosphere began to rippling in the bedroom—candles were placed on the cake, red wine was poured into the wine glasses, the soft and soothing melody was heard in the ears, and the two loving men and women were affectionate Looking at each other.At this moment, I feel that there are only two people in the earth, and they are ordinary and pure people.In the eyes of each other, they are not presidents and billionaires, nor are they heroines and rich women.They are fellow lovers.That's all. The candles were lit by Song Xiaoyuan herself—the forty candles that recorded the trajectory of my life stood like a small forest on the fertile soil of the cake. But now they are burning.The blood-red flame burns life or destiny, which cannot be forgotten, grasped or predicted.My life cannot burn.Burning means destruction. So I put out the fire with all my might. Song Xiaoyuan picked up the glass of red wine and held it out to me. "Tong Han, happy birthday to you!" she said.She then sang birthday wishes. In the ballads spread at home and abroad, I also greeted them with a glass of red wine.Two red wine glasses collided and made a "ding ding" sound, like two lanterns attracted by the wind. "Thank you." I said. "Done," she said.Wine red face. Then I lighted the candles off the cake and cut the cake into small pieces.I handed the first piece to Xiaoyuan to repay her kindness. Song Xiaoyuan accepted.Sure enough, only two people ate the lover's cake. "Tong Han, I don't know how many people are looking forward to celebrating your birthday with you today, but I have you all to myself," Song Xiaoyuan said while eating the cake, "Are you blaming me for being selfish and domineering?" "No," I said. "It proves that you are different, and I have a soft spot." "In the past ten years, your birthday has basically only been with the two of us." Song Xiaoyuan said. "Yes." I finished a small piece of cake. "Do you remember when I came to America for your birthday?" she said. "Of course I do," I said. "When I was thirty-two years old, it was my second year in the United States. On the eve of my birthday, you suddenly fell from the sky. When you arrived at my residence, it was already midnight. I couldn't believe it was you!" The reason why I didn't inform you that I was going to the United States, and I went to your place very late after arriving at Harvard in the United States, was because I wanted to catch you and other women on the spot." Song Xiaoyuan said. "But you missed it." "You're lucky," Song Xiaoyuan said, "Who knows if you brought other women back to spend the night at other times?" "Absolutely not!" I said. "Don't talk about bringing a woman back to spend the night, it's just that I haven't even touched a woman's side." "Are you that honest and serious?" "I'm dishonest, I'm superstitious," I said. "I believe that a man who wants to do big things or do big business must abstain from sex and not be lustful for women. But I am a man who only wants to get rich and get ahead, and I can't touch women." "Who is a man who is not lustful?" Song Xiaoyuan said. "No amount of great men can do it, let alone you?" "I'm lustful, but I don't like lust." I said, "I like beautiful women, but I won't sleep with them easily." "Wealthy people are not lewd, that's why I'm not wrong about you." Song Xiaoyuan said. "You came to the United States to stay with me for two months. This is the most comfortable and beautiful time I have lived in the United States." I said: "I enjoyed those two months. I didn't study or work. I stretched out my clothes and opened my mouth for food. You take me to visit America." "At that time, I was in the United States for almost two years, and I hadn't been to any place except Harvard. But you go around in the first week in the United States. We first went to Washington, the capital, and then to New York and Los Angeles. After visiting the big cities in the United States, we went shopping. Rural America. The countryside is just as beautiful as the city, although the two are different. Every time we leave a place, we miss that place.” "Do you still remember that we were in Madison County, Iowa?" Song Xiaoyuan said. "At that time, Madison County was not well-known, because "Bridges of Madison County" had not yet been published and popular, so we went." I said, "We were wandering through Madison County, passing the bridge that was later described by a writer named R. T. Waller. At that time, we didn't know the lingering love story that happened here, let alone the future It will be famous for a novel and a love story, and it will make people who yearn for the true love pilgrimage. We walked across the bridge without thinking, because it was late at that time, and the wind and clouds Mutation. I'm afraid it will rain, so we'll go back to the hotel." "As soon as we got back to the hotel, it started to rain," Song Xiaoyuan said. "Because of the rain, the sky darkened faster. And because of the darkness, I couldn't see the rain. But I heard the sound of rustling rain, and it was raining heavily. The sky was constantly thundering. The walls of the room were buzzing. There was the sound of digging, prying and knocking, and I was so scared that I threw myself into your arms and held my breath. You comforted me and said that it was the sound of raindrops beating the house in a hurry. But I was still afraid. It rained all night , I curled up in your arms all night. You hugged me tightly, as if using your body to shield me from the hail of bullets. At that time, I could only rely on you to survive the restless rainy night. I think I can use money I came to support you, but you were willing to protect me with your life. It was that night that I truly trusted you and... loved you. In the past, whether I was happy and affectionate or promised you, it was just a need for a man Playing with you, because you are beautiful and I am rich and romantic." "Looks like Madson County is a wonderful place," I said. "It can make a rich woman fall in love with a bachelor." "Are you angry if I confess so frankly?" Song Xiaoyuan said. "No, I'm not angry," I said. "You're angry because I said I was toying with you at first. But it's true, I didn't want to lie to you," she said. "But then I fell in love with you, and it's also true." "Is it true or not? We have been here all these years." I said. "We are like sitting in a carriage that keeps going forward. This is a carriage of time. Whether we are in love or not, the carriage will pull each of us to the end of our lives. Now the carriage has pulled me to the forty years of my life. It took me for forty years. I don't know how many more years it will take me? But I'm sure we've gone halfway through our lives, or more than half, because you're almost forty years old. Our Age is like the afternoon of the day." "No, it's dusk for me." Song Xiaoyuan said. "Why?" I said, knowingly asking. "Ask the question knowingly," Song Xiaoyuan said. "Because I am a forty-year-old woman!" "Although you are a nearly forty-year-old woman, you are still different." I said. "No, I'm like other forty-year-old women. My youth has passed away and my face is old. A woman's most brilliant time has been squandered by me. I am poor at the end of the day. Wrinkles crawled on my face, which are so deep that they cannot be repaired. .My looks are no longer coveted. Sadness enters my heart, too overwhelming. My life has no vitality." Song Xiaoyuan said: "If there is any difference between me and other women, it is that they can be wives and mothers, but I can't! I also want to be a wife and mother, but it's too late!" "No, it's too late." I said Say. "Who wants me? Who wants to marry me? Are you willing? Or that paralyzed man?" Song Xiaoyuan asked me forcefully. "When I am willing to marry you, you are not willing to marry me." I said. "You have to wait to marry that Hong Kong man who is kind to you. At that time, he has a wife and can move his feet." "Tong Han, you go! You go, you ruthless guy!" Song Xiaoyuan stood up and hurried me away. I got up and left because I couldn't stand her moodiness. Ever since she discovered freckles and wrinkles on her face, her temperament has become elusive. Sometimes she concentrates on beautifying her appearance—and in the past many years she didn’t need it because she was born beautiful—so sometimes she smashed the mirror when she looked at the mirror, because Song Xiaoyuan, who used to be beautiful and beautiful in the past, was already plain in the mirror Unusual, or impossible to reproduce. The nanny often swept out sharp glass and broken bottles from Song Xiaoyuan's bedroom, which was caused by Song Xiaoyuan's indiscriminate throwing.She also often scolded the nanny, and was critical of the careful and diligent nanny in every possible way, so she finally resigned the nanny. And when she is with me, her temperament is even more changeable and abnormal. When two people are flirting with each other, maybe she will suddenly become furious, just like now. I really want to go, but she wants to keep me, "Are you really going?" she said. "Yes, I have to go." I said, "The City Song and Dance Troupe prepared a show for my birthday, and I promised them to go to see it. It starts at eight o'clock. I shortened the performance time by half an hour." "That's an hour before the show," she said. "I'm going to use this hour for myself," I said. "Find a quiet place, close your eyes, reflect on yourself, or rest your mind." Song Xiaoyuan came running from behind and hugged me, pressing her face against my back. "Tong Han, I have a bad temper. I'm sorry." She said. I am silent. "I won't let you go," she said.I have nothing to say. "We haven't been together for a long time," she said.She touched me with her hand. "You haven't wanted me for a long time." Her hand touched my bottom. "I want you now," she said. She released me discreetly—slowly undoing the strap and gently twisting the button.After the buttons were unscrewed, the clothes on my body fell loose, like blueprints pulled out of a thumbtack and fell. After Song Xiaoyuan carefully performed these decomposition actions, she didn't feel disgusted by me.She is no longer cautious.Her hands and movements became bold and fast, and she took off the objects on my body one by one, like peeling off the skin of a python. By this time she had turned in front of me.Since I was still standing, she squatted down.She started sucking me like blood from a snake. But no matter how much she sucks, I can't get high.My heart is still cold, so my blood and flesh are not excited for her. I stood there in agony and distress, like a tree being ravaged. She finally realized and felt my indifference and numbness, and stopped sucking.She looked up at me, climbed my body and stood up slowly.I saw her lips tremble and twitch.Her eyes filled with tears. "You don't love me anymore," she said. No, I said in my heart, I still love you.But my love is twisted. "You've never been like this," she said. Yes, I thought to myself, I used to be great, really great. "Because I'm old, you don't want me anymore." Song Xiaoyuan said. I don't want you not because you are old, I said to myself, but because your nature has changed.It's getting weird and I can't take it. "Am I right? Because you don't talk about life," she said. No, I said in my heart again, in fact, I was talking to you, and it was from my heart, but you couldn't hear it. "Put on your clothes," she said, "and you will never be so embarrassed again, just like I will never be young again." I get dressed. "Let's go now," Song Xiaoyuan said, "I hope that the songs and dances dedicated to you by the Nanzhou Song and Dance Troupe will make you, a billionaire who loves literature and art,... happy!"
