Chapter 13 page thirteen

It's too easy for a person to do stupid things. Before I knew it, I did another stupid thing, and I really regretted it. Without much effort, Fang Fang met Meng Yaping. The decision to go to Meng Yaping was made almost without thinking.At the time it felt absolutely necessary, perfectly reasonable, even hopeful.As long as it can be proved that Meng Yaping really intervened, it can be further proved that there will be a harmonious family without a third party. She didn't feel that this visit was a bit inappropriate until she saw Meng Yaping.She is very thin, very yellow, about 30 years old, ordinary, she is not conspicuous in the crowd, she is not like a woman who can please men, and she is not like the romantic ones that are often seen in novels or movies the "third party".

Talking is tough.The two sat in the same room for a few minutes, unable to speak.Finally, Fang Fang said: "Do you know Liu Shuhuai?" "Why are you asking this?" "I want to write an article introducing him and his family." "You should go to their house." "I want to know him as a person." "You should go to him himself." "I talked to him." "He introduced you to me?" "No. I just heard that you used to know them better." She neither denied nor admitted, and sat silently.Nostalgia, sadness, guilt, secret joy, all kinds of tastes seem to exist and seem to disappear.Like a erratic cloud, like a confused fog.

"Comrade Xiao Meng, don't worry. I promise, I won't write you in. What I want to write is him, their family, not you." Meng Yaping stared blankly at Fang Fang, as if admiring a painting - a young, beautiful and graceful girl.She is not a painting, she is talking, her words are very powerful, and instantly opened the long-closed heart.The past is like smoke, time erodes memory, time takes away pain, everything is over.At this moment, when someone mentioned it suddenly, the memory that was supposed to sink into the bottom of my heart suddenly came up little by little, and the wound that was thought to be healed was torn open one after another.

"We don't have that kind of relationship, he is a good man, he didn't even touch me!" Meng Yaping shouted. Fang Fang was shocked.All of a sudden, I regretted it, not because it was "somewhat inappropriate", but because it was very presumptuous, very abrupt, and very absurd.What right do you have to pry into other people's privacy, not to mention that has long passed.Why do you need to come to this hurt girl, she has nothing to do with the safety of Liu Shuhuai's family. "Comrade Xiao Meng, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked you, and I shouldn't have come to you at all. Well, let's not talk, okay? Don't make you excited because I came. Really, no Talk about it, I don’t want to know anything.”

Fang Fang stood up and wanted to leave, but Meng Yaping was taken aback, almost smiled, and said: "Actually, I have nothing bad to say. Since you have already asked, I should tell you..." She told a very ordinary story.There is no twists and turns of the plot, no enamored love, no lingering feelings, only a little hazy... "I met him at a friend's house. There were many people there that day. He was very talkative and said a lot of interesting things. Later, at this friend's house, I saw him again. This time, it was just me and him It’s a guest. My friend is busy cooking, so we just chat in the room. He knows a lot, and the conversation is very good. What impressed me the most is that he didn’t despise women, and it’s not because I’m a woman. Yes, I don't bother to talk about it. Originally, I was very reserved when I got along with men I didn't know well. But when I was with him, I was not at all restrained..."

Fang Fang listened attentively, feeling her sincerity. "Later, we got to know each other better, and we also had contacts with each other. I went to his house, and he also came to mine. I teach Chinese, and sometimes I need to read some books, so I go to him, and he is always willing to help. Of course, I admit that you don’t have to find him for lesson preparation. However, he is enthusiastic and can explain a lot of things I don’t understand, which is very attractive to me. As for me to go to him, is there a kind of shamelessness? I don’t think so. I really didn’t think of anything else. I’ve seen his lover and his children, and I didn’t think of anything else at all.”

Fang Fang believes what she said is true.The person sitting in front of her was not a frivolous woman at all.She is so demure, so responsible, and she has nothing to do with Fang Fang's image of a third party. "Of course, I also found out later that his wife didn't welcome me. I also found out that he was not so happy at home. He seemed to have no one to talk to. Sometimes, in her house, in front of his wife, he He said very little. After I left, he sent me out, instead he talked endlessly, looking very happy, as if he finally had a chance to say what he had been holding back for a long time."

"What did he say?" "Actually, it's nothing important. He just 'talked' about everything." "What did he say to you?" Fang Fang had already forgotten the oath just now. "No, he never expressed anything. Of course, he also said what he thinks of me. He said that he likes to talk to me because I am patient, can listen to him talk, and can find common ground. topic. And, he said he had a feeling that we were all sharing in a fun while 'talking'." "and after?" "Later, there were a lot of discussions. In my school and in his unit, there were people who said some nonsense. I was very angry, but he didn't care. After a while, there were more and more bad words. I wrote to him I wrote a letter and asked him to come out for a talk. At that time, I really had a heavy burden on my mind. I don’t understand, it’s already the 1980s, why can’t a little communication between men and women be allowed? Could it be, except for couples? With friends, can't there be friendship except love?"

The more Meng Yaping talked, the more excited he became. After a long time, Fang Fang asked carefully: "Received your letter, did he talk to you?" Meng Yaping shook his head. "Did he write you back?" Meng Yaping shook his head again. "Why is that?" Meng Yaping still shook his head, and said again: "Probably he also succumbed to the pressure of public opinion."
