Chapter 11 Chapter 06

More than a week later, Chen Zhen went to the seaside hotel to find Zhou Rushui again, asking him to translate a document in Japanese.Chen Zhen thought that giving Zhou Rushui one or two such things might give him some encouragement. When he got there, he opened the door and went in, only to see Zhou Rushui's head bent down on the writing desk. He called out twice: "Rushui," Zhou Rushui didn't agree.He walked to Zhou Rushui's side and heard the sound of sobbing.The man is crying.He wondered why this man was crying?He thought, maybe Zhang Ruolan had something bad to say.But in a blink of an eye he caught sight of an old-fashioned envelope lying on the table.He remembered that yesterday he forwarded a registered letter for Zhou Rushui, which was sent by Zhou Rushui's father.Zhou Rushui's crying must have something to do with this letter.He thought that Zhou Rushui would raise his head soon, so he waited quietly beside him.But after a while there was still no movement, he couldn't wait any longer, so he patted Zhou Rushui on the shoulder.

Zhou Rushui raised his head as expected, his face was covered with tears.He looked at Chen Zhen, his eyes gleamed with melancholy, his face was asking for help, and he was still sobbing. Chen Zhen had never seen Zhou Rushui cry so sadly, and he was also very moved.He wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't think of what words would be effective.He just said sympathetically, "Rushui, what's the matter? You're crying so hard. Can I help you?" Zhou Rushui shook his head, without speaking, picked up the envelope on the table, and handed it to Chen Zhen.Chen Zhen took the envelope, quickly pulled out the letterhead and read it in a hurry.

This is a letter from Zhou Rushui's father, saying that his mother is sick and misses him day and night, asking him to go back immediately.His father had already found a position for him in the provincial capital, as a first-class member of the Finance Department, and hoped that he would return to work soon.There are five large pages of letter paper, and the paper is full of the same set of high-sounding words: After all, it is nothing more than studying abroad for many years, and studying in the East, and of course going back to the province to be an official. It is the right thing to make a name for yourself in the future; if you are always wandering outside without accomplishing anything, you will have let down your father's good intentions in nurturing his children.From this letter, it can be seen that a strict father is reprimanding his son.

The more Chen Zhen read on, the angrier he became.He really wanted to tear up the letter paper, but he still held back his anger and handed the letter back to Zhou Rushui, asking, "What are you going to do now?" "I want to go back," Zhou Rushui replied. This answer was completely unexpected by Chen Zhen.He felt very uncomfortable. Angry, he said briefly, "Okay." Then he asked, "When are you leaving?" Zhou Rushui didn't seem to have heard it, and he didn't look at Chen Zhen. After a while, he still said to Chen Zhen sadly: "Father wants me to be an official, but I really don't want to."

"In this way, I think your going back is a bit of a problem," Chen Zhen said with a sneer. "But my mother is sick, and I have to go back to see her. Going back is a matter of course," Zhou Rushui said, seeming to have a style of pretending to be a filial son, which not only did not arouse Chen Zhen's sympathy, but made him hate it .He thought: "What a filial son." This is not praise, but contempt. "Then it's only natural to be an official, because this way you won't disappoint your father's good intentions," Chen Zhen still said with a sneer.

"I think so too," he said blankly and without thinking, he didn't know that Chen Zhen was laughing at him.But he said again: "But I don't want to be an official. You know I always hate officials." Chen Zhen sneered and said: "If the land returners still go to the city to become an official, the official will not be annoying. If the fairy tale writer enters the Finance Department, all the officials in the Finance Department will return to the childlike life." He said I couldn't help laughing. This time Zhou Rushui understood that Chen Zhen was laughing at him, so he said angrily: "I'm in a turmoil right now, not only did you not help me, but you came to mock me instead, it's really unreasonable."

"Since you have already made up your mind, do you still need my help?" "When did I decide? At this time I don't even have any judgment. You have to find a way for me. You have to decide for me. I really don't know what to do. To be honest, if I want to go back, I can't bear to leave Zhang Ruolan If I don’t go back, I feel sorry for my mother. My mother has worked so hard to raise me up, and I have never repaid her kindness. She is sick and wants me to go back. How can I say no?...But I As soon as I go back, I have to forget all my hopes and propositions. Especially love. I can’t do it anyway if I leave Zhang Ruolan behind and live with that loveless girl.... What do you think of me? Can you decide?..."

Chen Zhen stopped laughing at Zhou Rushui, but said to him in a solemn and sympathetic voice: "I said you have only one way, which is not to go back. Your mother's illness is not serious, but she just wants to see you. You can do it in the future." Take her out. Then you can marry Zhang Ruolan, and you can live with your mother. Isn't it taken care of by both parties?" Zhou Rushui didn't seem to understand Chen Zhen's words, but then shook his head one after another, expressing that this plan would not work.He himself was thinking about a better plan, but in fact his thoughts were only hovering over the new words "conscience", "ideal" and "happiness".

Chen Zhen stopped talking, he knew that his words were of no use here. He planned to leave here immediately, but remembered his mission again, so he took out the document and asked Zhou Rushui to translate it. "I've been restless for the past few days, and now I'm even more confused, and I can't write a single word," Zhou Rushui said, throwing the document on the table, leaving his seat, and striding around the room. "Then I'll ask someone to pick it up tomorrow," Chen Zhen said condescendingly. "Tomorrow? You take the document back, I can't write a single word."

"Then you can get it the day after tomorrow. Anyway, you have to translate it. I originally wanted to ask Renmin to translate it, but Yaozhu has been very ill these two days and he has no time, so he has to find you." Chen Zhen said sincerely He said. "Translator," he read these two words in distress, and then said to himself excitedly: "Translate, maybe I will commit suicide tomorrow, and I will not live in this world. How can I care about other things?" business?" When Chen Zhen heard these words, he knew that Zhou Rushui would not agree, and according to the situation, even if he agreed, it would take a week to finish the translation; slow, it might take two or three months.It would be better to do the translation by yourself, although it is a bit busy, it is also enjoyable.As for Zhou Rushui, this person has never done a happy thing in his life. When it comes to suicide, there is no need to worry about him at this level.He didn't even have the courage to solve a simple problem, so how could he have the courage to commit suicide.

Thinking this way, Chen Zhen felt that there was no need to stay here anymore, so he put away the documents and walked outside without saying a word to Zhou Rushui.But he still couldn't forget Zhou Rushui, and was still thinking about Zhou Rushui.Having already walked out of the gate, he suddenly thought of a good way and went back to the hotel. This time he stopped in front of the door of Room 19 on the second floor.He knocked lightly on the door twice.There was no response from inside.He knocked again and again in succession. "Who?" A familiar female voice came from inside. "It's me," he replied. Footsteps sounded inside, and the door opened. It was Zhang Ruolan's slightly tired face, with slightly drooping eyelids, and fluffy hair. There was a group of faint red cherry blossoms in the corner of the sun on the left. She seemed to have just woken up from a nap.There were a few messy wrinkles on the corners of the lapel gauze shirt. She let him in, seemed a little surprised at his visit alone, but received him politely. One is just waking up from sleep, the other is that there is nothing to say, and the third is that she seems to have expected some unusual mission from him. Although she is sitting diagonally across from him, she lowers her head slightly in embarrassment. , Sometimes I fold the corners of the clothes with my hands, and sometimes I raise my eyes and talk to him. "After all, she is a woman of the petty bourgeoisie. But she is different from Qin Yunyu." Chen Zhen thought as he watched her actions coldly while talking.He couldn't find much gossip to tell her, and then he told her directly why he had come. "Miss Zhang, I'm here to discuss something...you won't blame me for being abrupt?" One is because this matter is very important, and the other is that he is afraid that she will misunderstand him, so he can't help showing excitement when he speaks. Zhang Ruolan raised her head to look at him, but when she heard his words, her face turned red, she buried her head down again, and said slowly: "Mr. Chen, please feel free to say what you have to say, why be so polite." "I'm here to talk to Miss Zhang about love..." He deliberately paused here, peeking at her actions. She blushed even more, and her heart was pounding.She didn't know how to answer him.She raised her head and quickly glanced at his face, and then asked in surprise: "Love? Mr. Chen wants to talk to me about love?" She explained apologetically: "It's a pity that I don't like this That kind of thing is completely inexperienced." When Chen Zhen heard such words, he couldn't help laughing secretly. He thought, "This is another habit of petty bourgeois women. Let's see how she hides it. Maybe she thinks I'm trying to trick her." He went on to say, "I This time I came here for Rushui. I already know Misi Zhang’s attitude towards him. He told me everything.” In fact, this sentence is a lie, what Zhou Rushui told him is only a small part.At this moment, he spoke in a hurry, in order not to be interrupted by her, he himself didn't think it was a lie. "He is now in great distress. Only Mi Si Zhang can save him. His problem only you can help solve.I know Miss Zhang loves him, so you must be willing to help him. ... I know him well, he is a good man, too good to be good, because he thinks he has a complicated problem and he doesn't have the guts to solve it. ... Mieszhang may not fully understand Rushui's life experience and his environment.And he's not telling you the truth. He went on to describe Zhou Rushui's life experience in detail, and then said: "This complicated problem of his has entangled his mind, making him unable to move.If this problem is not solved, he will not be happy for a day, and he will never be able to do anything, and will always be a useless good person... In fact, in my opinion, this problem is easy to solve.And Mieszhang, you are an important role in this problem, so you are the most appropriate to solve this problem.As long as you agree, everything will work out.A woman knows how to deal with that..." She didn't answer, didn't even look up. "I know that Miss Zhang is different from ordinary women, and I know that Miss Zhang is sincerely in love like water, so I came to ask you to do something that ordinary Chinese women are unwilling to do. I hope you come like Slavic women Love him, save him, inspire him, make him forget his past and create a new life. I know you can do that." She still didn't answer. "The reason why I took the liberty to talk to you is because I heard Jianhong say that your thoughts are close to ours, and you also said that you have read my articles. You should be able to understand my feelings." She still doesn't speak. "You may wonder why he didn't come to you to confess his love in person. He doesn't have the courage, so please forgive him... He also loved a few women in Japan, but he never had the courage to tell them Confessing love, the result is to see them marrying someone else and hide at home and cry... In short, he will not have the courage in his life until his problem is solved. If you really love him and are really willing to save him, please ask yourself first Make it clear to him. It may be impossible for other women, but for you, I think you can do it." She just doesn't speak. "Maybe you don't love him, maybe you have loved him and regret it now. Then I was wrong: I shouldn't bother you with these words. Please forgive me, I have disturbed you for a long time," Chen Zhen finally Bitterly speaking, he planned to stand up and leave. Zhang Ruolan raised her head suddenly, her face turned pale, two big tears were embedded in the corners of her eyes, and the tears flowed slowly down her cheeks, her eyes covered by long eyelashes opened and closed quickly.She whimpered, but said to him firmly: "Mr. Chen, I understand what you said... I will always remember your kindness. I promise you, I will do what you say." Her mouth closed again up.They looked at each other for a long time, exchanging meanings that could not be expressed in words. Chen Zhen said goodbye to Zhang Ruolan and came out, and he had never had a good impression of her. He thought: "Although she is a petty bourgeois woman, she still has her beauty." The solution, he can rest assured in the future.This can be regarded as a worry, and his heart is also very happy.
