Chapter 17 page seventeen

Everything in this world has an end.This is also a kind of closure.It's over, it's over, it's all over... If you go out early on Sunday morning, you will definitely not receive that call.However, he didn't go anywhere.Didn't buy shampoo, didn't go to an art exhibition, even gave away an invitation to a new product fair, didn't go anywhere. I'm in a bad mood and don't want to go anywhere.What Li Suoling said last night made Fang Fang even more uneasy.Why did she say those rambling words, such as affection, sympathy, love, all these messy things, and be careful about yourself.what does she mean?She mean me?It means I have a crush on him... nonsense!However, I went to talk to him again and again, really for "in-depth interviews" and "work needs"?Why hasn't it been so "deep" before?No, don't lie to yourself.Work does not require me to "deep" into his heart, or because he has a charm that attracts me to visit his inner world.Even so, so what?What about him?how does he treat me ...Where did I think of it!It's all the fault of Li Suoling, it's all the fault of her playing tricks and causing people to think wildly.

Right here, the call comes: "Comrade Fang Fang? I'm Liu Shuhuai. I'm in the park opposite your newspaper office. Can you come out? I want to talk to you again." She put down the phone, changed clothes, combed her hair, and ran to the park.In the park, apart from the old people practicing boxing and dancing swords, and the mother pushing the stroller, there are just couples who don't see anyone else.There are hardly any Bachelorettes.She suddenly felt that she shouldn't come.What are you here for?Is it an interview?Is it a tryst?It's not clear at all. However, she couldn't help but still went to the agreed place, to a piece of grass by the lake.As she walked, she warned herself: You have to be careful, you can't go any further.

Liu Shuhuai changed into a spring jacket today, and greeted him from afar: "I regret it when I put down the phone. Maybe I shouldn't ask you out and waste your time." "It doesn't matter." "I come here every Sunday morning to take a walk and get some fresh air. For those of us who are engaged in technical work, life is too monotonous. Either I am bored in the drawing room, or I am bored at home. People are almost bored It's ripe. It's really nice here, with grassland and lake water, I like water best." They walked to the lake.Liu Shuhuai walked ahead, Fang Fang kept a certain distance from him.She thinks this is better.Walking side by side, in the eyes of others, it will definitely be considered... However, in the front and back, in the eyes of others, it may be considered even more... She felt that she was always at odds with herself today, and she couldn't find the feeling she should have.No, you can't go with him, you can't listen to him, you have to take the initiative: I am a reporter, he is the subject of my interview, I should ask him.

Fang Fang took a few steps and asked: "You asked me out, what do you want to talk about?" "By the way, I want to tell you, the third condition of an ideal family..." "I also want to tell you..." "No, listen to me first, the third one is the most important..." "What I'm going to tell you is by no means unimportant." Liu Shuhuai stopped and asked: "What are you going to tell me?" Fang Fang also stopped and said: "Zhang Fenglan came to see me." She thought he would be surprised, uneasy, and ask what Zhang Fenglan said.To her surprise, as if he had heard something that had nothing to do with him, he just raised his hand and walked along the lakeside and said:

"What I want to say is the most important thing. In an ideal family, both men and women need one or even a few friends who can talk about everything. I'm talking about friends, not lovers, not the so-called "extramarital affairs" that are popular nowadays. Do you think , the husband and wife, for a long time, stay together day and night, tired of watching, tired of listening, and don't want to say anything. And everyone has a lot of thoughts in their hearts, and they want to find someone to talk to. If there is a close friend, what? I can say everything, and after I finish speaking, my heart will not be so blocked, my breath will be smooth, and it will be easy to go home. This is too important for an ideal family."

Liu Shuhuai spoke eloquently and confidently.Fang Fang was extra careful and only answered four words: "I don't understand." "Yes, I'm afraid it's not easy for you to understand. From ordinary family life magazines or articles, you can only read some dogmatic explanations: husband and wife should treat each other with sincerity and talk about everything. , There shouldn’t be any secrets, and there shouldn’t be any hidden things. In fact, this is all nonsense! Everyone has their own privacy. What I’m talking about is not necessarily something shady, but more of a hidden idea. Or something subconscious. As long as we recognize that everyone has a right to privacy, then there is no reason to deny a married person his or her privacy by making it public to his or her wife or husband. And the fact that publicity is absolutely No benefit. For example, did I have another girlfriend before I got married, and to what extent; or whether my wife had a boyfriend before marrying me, and to what extent, it is inconvenient to disclose .There is no need to disclose it! All disclosure, especially the disclosure of those details, is frank but frank, and that family is enough! What positive significance will there be?"

Without allowing Fang Fang to interrupt, Liu Shuhuai talked eloquently by himself: "Of course, this is just an example. In fact, in family life, not to mention social life, there are many things and feelings that are inconvenient to tell each other. For example, when I saw a young and beautiful woman on the street, I I think she is very beautiful and attractive, do I need to tell my wife? It seems that there is no need. There are also some things that the other party is not interested in and does not want to hear, so I have no choice but to keep silent. However, a person has certain Feelings, or certain opinions, can’t be kept in the heart, it has to be spoken out. This requires friends, intimate friends, friends who talk about everything.”

Fang Fang finally found a chance to interject: "I know you've had friends like that." Liu Shuhuai was taken aback. "I met Meng Yaping." Hearing the name Meng Yaping, Liu Shuhuai finally fell silent.He walked slowly along the lake, and after a while he said: "Your investigation was meticulous and accurate." "I'm a reporter." Fang Fang felt a little smug that she had the upper hand. "That was a very good friend of mine in the past. She was considerate." Liu Shuhuai's steps became slower and lighter, as if his feet were not a piece of grass, but a piece of friendship.

"Since she is a very good friend, why did you forget her?" Liu Shuhuai stood still blankly, his empty eyes seemed to only see a pool of water in front of him, he sighed: "Friends can only be friends." The chairman of the "Kan Association" no longer talks.The brisk figure disappeared instantly, only the pair of legs were still moving forward slowly and mechanically. Fang Fang suddenly regretted it, why did she think of Zhang Fenglan?Why mention Meng Yaping?Helplessly destroy his morning sun-like interest.He is tall on the outside, but timid like a child on the inside.In an instant, he was like a young seedling that had been hit by a hailstorm, and could no longer lift his spirits.

She really wanted to say something to comfort him and dispel the cloud in his heart.However, what can she say?She scrupulously searches for topics: "If it's unfortunate for two people to live together, why can't they separate?" As soon as the words came out, Fang Fang regretted it.What kind of caution is this? You simply don't know the importance. How can you discuss such an issue with the person in front of you! Liu Shuhuai didn't care at all, and just asked lazily: "You mean divorce?" "The same can be said." "Divorce is easier said than done." He replied lightly.

"Of course, divorce is very difficult in our country..." Fang Fang tried her best to turn the topic into an exclusive one, and talked about her research on this issue as if she was at a meeting. The more she talked, the more she felt unsure, but she only had Going on, "There is still mediation, investigation, and court. Many private matters have to be made public and ruined..." He let out a long sigh, interrupting her eloquence. "Ah!——I admire those divorced people. They have courage, they live seriously, and they take marriage seriously. Well, even though my family is not ideal... Well, I have seen it through. The bird broke its wing and fell. "I have to go now." "I should go too." he's gone.She thought he would say something else, but he said nothing.
