Chapter 6 Chapter Six

Geng Lin returned very late to the house he and Lou Hong temporarily rented. The room was not only empty but also had an unpleasant smell.This shows that Lou Hong has been drinking heavily since she left here, otherwise the house would leave the smell of Lou Hong's perfume and some smells from the street outside, because Lou Hong likes to open the windows even in winter. He called Lou Hong's home. After leaving Liu Yun, he couldn't bear to stay alone in this room without TV, without stereo, only a semiconductor, no, he only had one thought, to break the empty state of mind in front of him.

"Excuse me, is Lou Hong here?" "Which one are you?" Lou Hong's mother was on the other end of the phone. Her overly calm voice left a deep impression on Geng Lin. He couldn't even imagine that this rational woman would become his mother-in-law. "I'm her colleague and I want to ask her something about the unit." "Well, she's not here." "Can you tell me where she is?" Geng Lin lied calmly, "Because things are a little urgent." "Exactly, I don't know too well. She walked with a female classmate and said she was going out to relax. I think it was probably to go shopping."

Geng Lin was somewhat surprised. Lou Hong's mother did not interfere with Lou Hong's spare time life, but she sounded like a domineering woman. "Why don't you leave your number and I'll let her contact you when she comes back." Lou Hong's mother said. "Oh, no, thank you, I'll figure it out." Geng Lin put down the phone and thought of the "behind" bar. He had this premonition that Lou Hong must be there. Before he walked across the park to the bar, he imagined what Lou Hong might be doing at the bar: singing, getting drunk, arguing loudly with people, sitting quietly in a corner crying...

The bar was very deserted. There was a young man with long hair in a leather jacket sitting in front of the bar, and then a couple sitting in the coffee seat and whispering.Geng Lin was disappointed, he didn't expect that he would guess wrong.He wanted to leave, but the third son had already greeted him, so he had to go over and ask for a bottle of beer. "Why are you here so late today?" the third son asked him. "Busy." He prevaricates, wants to drink a few sips of beer before paying the bill and leaving, he wants to continue looking for Lou Hong. "Hey, tell me," the third son followed Geng Lin's words, but turned to the long-haired young man and said, "Everyone says they are busy, but they are all busy. Tell me, who is busy in this world?" ?"

"It's all fuss." The long-haired boy said, "You earn money to spend it, he chases women," he said, pointing at Geng Lin as if they were friends who couldn't get any better, "It's for divorce, I Painting is for the sake of being famous, being famous and then becoming unknown, it's all a fucking big circle." "That's right," said the third son.At this time Wu Gang came out from the room.Seeing Geng Lin seemed a little surprised, but still smiled at him decently.Geng Lin thought of the person who called Liu Yun again, and for some reason, he had a strange feeling for Wu Gang.

"Hahaha……" The laughter came from the only corner where there were people, and without turning his head, Geng Lin could be sure that the laughter came from Lou Hong's heart.Apart from her, Geng Lin didn't know any other woman who could laugh so recklessly. Wu Gang gave the third son a wink.The third son immediately said: "Shall I change it for you with something more powerful?" Geng Lin smiled and waved his hand.He thought he couldn't make a mistake when he entered the door. The person sitting with his back to the door was a man. "The boss treats you." The bartender added another sentence, and Geng Lin waved his hand again and left the bar.

What he saw was Lou Hong sitting there with a foreign man.One of her hands was covering the guy's face at the moment, and her hand was covering the guy's hand again.Seeing Geng Lin, Lou Hong didn't take off his hand either. Standing in front of them, Geng Lin looked at the foreigner. He thought that this unlucky guy was at most twenty years old, so he said to Lou Hong: "I admire you so much, you even tease children." Lou Hong's hand was still on the opponent's cheek.She said unhurriedly: "Everyone has his own ambitions. Just as some people like to tease old women, I like to tease children."

Geng Lin didn't know how to answer Lou Hong's words, he just stood there.At this time, the foreigner asked Lou Hong what happened in English, while still covering Lou Hong's hand. "He said you are a child, let me stop teasing you." Lou Hong translated for him. The foreigner stood up excitedly and said loudly to Geng Lin: "You are insulting me, you have no right to say that I am a child, what are you?" His English is not very fluent, so Geng Lin judged that he is not British or American. "Okay," Geng Lin said in English, "you are not a child, but she is my wife."

After hearing this, the foreigner immediately took his hand away, and Lou Hong immediately took his hand away. "I'm not his wife." Lou Hong explained to the foreigner in English, but the foreigner was finally confused.He looked around, raising his bony shoulders again and again.At this time, Wu Gang came over, and the foreigner seemed to see a savior, stood up, shrugged his shoulders to Wu Gang twice, and then said a few words to Wu Gang in blunt Chinese, as if he knew a hundred years ago that Wu Gang would not English, and never will be. "Chinese, too complicated."

"You are really a foreigner." Wu Gang said. "Too complicated, they are too complicated." When the foreigner said this, no one could understand what he understood. Geng Lin and Lou Hong entered the park, and they walked towards the other gate silently.Geng Lin hoped that they would go back to their hut and give him a chance to explain everything in order to comfort Lou Hong. But Lou Hong stopped in front of the grass where she once lay naked.Suddenly, she felt that time became concrete before her eyes.Here's where they started it all, and maybe this is where it should end today.

Geng Lin guessed Lou Hong's emotional changes, and immediately put Lou Hong in his arms.He hugged her hard, and harder.Every time he hugs her like this, she finds strength in it, the conviction that their love will last a long, long time.But today Lou Hong calmly asked a question in his strong embrace: "Can you sleep with me here now?" Another couple clinging to each other passed by not far in front of them. Geng Lin hesitated for a moment, did not answer, and still hugged Lou Hong. "You want to say that what I'm asking now is too much?" Lou Hong broke away from Geng Lin's embrace. "Let's go home, go home, you are naked, let me hold you well." Geng Lin tried to approach Lou Hong again. "Don't worry, I'm just teasing you. I won't ask you to do your duty to me again. Twice a day is too much for everyone, isn't it?" Lou Hong's words hurt Geng Lin. "How do you say such ugly words?" Geng Lin asked. "You have done such an ugly thing, why don't you allow me to talk about it?" "What did I do?" Geng Lin asked loudly, as if Lou Hong had just made an unfounded reprimand. "Ask your wife, don't ask me! We're settled, from now on, you are you, I am me, don't bother me anymore." After Lou Hong finished speaking, he turned around and ran away. Geng Lin just wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he chased after Lou Hong. Geng Lin never expected Lou Hong to run so fast.He started chasing her in earnest.Lou Hong spread her long legs and ran gracefully, passing through the shaded corridor, the lawn, and the coiled old trees under the moonlight.When Geng Lin was about to catch up with Lou Hong, he deliberately slowed down. He wanted to see more of Lou Hong running, and the movement of her raising her hand to push away the low branches made him excited.He feels that Lou Hong has inexhaustible feminine beauty, and he never wants to lose her.Before he stopped running, he had already decided in his heart: no matter what, he would find a way to get Lou Hong back to the hut, no matter what she said, he would admit it and apologize unconditionally. Tonight, Geng Lin wanted to be with Lou Hong all night. After Geng Lin chased after Lou Hong like a bandit robbed Mrs. Yazhai and stuffed her into a taxi, his wish to stay with Lou Hong all night came true.Even he himself didn't understand why Lou Hong called her mother and said that she was staying at her girlfriend's house, and why her mother believed it without doubt.So he asked Lou Hong: "Why did you say you would leave me first, and then do so much for me?" Geng Lin took off his coat for Lou Hong. "Because you look like a robber." "Do women like rough men?" "Stop talking nonsense, I don't like rough men, but I like men who love me with all their heart." Lou Hong put her feet on the head of the bed, "There is no man who can run so far behind me." "I used to do long-distance running in college." Geng Lin said. "What?" Lou Hong jumped up and put her arms around Geng Lin's neck, "me too, we are really a match made in heaven, a match made in earth." Geng Lin took advantage of the situation and hugged Lou Hong, and said sincerely: "Then let's stop arguing and get over the current difficulties. We will live together forever and give birth to a daughter for me." Lou Hong let go of Geng Lin and sat back on the bed. She looked at Geng Lin as if she was looking at a respected old leader: "Can you do something for me?" she asked. Geng Lin smiled and nodded, imagining in his heart the wonderful house tonight and the long night after this wonderful night, they could hug each other all night, fall asleep together, sleep into a distant dreamland, and wake up together again. "Turn off the overhead light, turn on the floor lamp, turn on the bedside lamp, light the candle, and put on the soft music from the harp." Geng Lin did it one by one, and he felt irregular heart palpitations while doing it.Liu Yun is also a woman who can create an atmosphere, but she has never had Lou Hong's superior attitude.This arrogant but decisive and bold order made Geng Lin feel fresh and intoxicated.When Geng Lin finished all this, Lou Hong pushed him down on the sofa, and she sat on the bed beside her.She said seriously: "Now let's open up." Lou Hong's words seemed to have given Geng Lin a blow in the head, and he knew that sooner or later the time had come that he couldn't escape.He thought, is there not a good woman in the world who is tolerant?He was devastated, but there was nothing he could do, he didn't know what made him so weak, it didn't occur to him at this moment that it was love. "Does it have to be talked?" He tentatively. "You don't have to," Lou Hong said, "but, let's separate." "Let's talk about it then." Geng Lin lowered his head and wanted to light a cigarette, afraid that Lou Hong would be disgusted, so he held back. "Are you sleeping with Liu Yun?" Lou Hong is worthy of being Lou Hong, and she poked you where you are tired. "What do you want me to say? You ask such a stupid question." Geng Lin muttered. "You don't need to say anything, I will understand when you say that." Lou Hong has become a judge at this time, her mind is quick and powerful, and the thorns in her words seem to be soaked in poisonous juice, "I I also want to know, why are you doing this?" Geng Lin didn't answer, a thought flashed in his mind to drive this woman out, but his thought came from his head, not from his heart, so it was pale and powerless. "Are you willing?" Lou Hong was aggressive. "I think so, Lou Hong." Geng Lin tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, "You are too young after all, I don't know how to explain to you about the marriage, it is not as simple as being in love. After so many years, Has been tangled into something very complicated, can you understand me?" "Yes." Lou Hong replied.Geng Lin's eyes lit up, and he was about to continue, but Lou Hong interrupted him. "But I don't understand why you want to build such a complicated marriage with a girl like me who doesn't understand marriage at all." Lou Hong herself was a little surprised, she actually uttered such complicated language when she was arguing.She thought that maybe she was born with the ability to express simple ideas in complex ways. "Because I love you." Geng Lin had no choice but to retreat. "So you sleep with me?" "Of course." Geng Lin said without thinking. "So you love her too." Lou Hong whispered, as if she had estimated the lethality of this sentence before speaking. "Enough." Geng Lin stood up and walked around the house like a trapped animal. Because the room was too small, he couldn't walk around like he often wrote in the book. "That's exactly what I want to say." After Lou Hong finished speaking, she also stood up, put on her coat and was about to go out, Geng Lin rushed over, grabbed Lou Hong, shook her, and said: "She's also a woman, do you understand? The situation was too sudden and specific, and I couldn't be so cruel. Even if you don't understand me, you should understand Liu Yun, because you are also a woman." "Of course I understand her, and I don't think there is anything wrong with her request. The key is you!" Lou Hong shook off Geng Lin's hands holding her arms again. She couldn't think that she would shake him off like this in her life. how many times. "What can I do?" "Before you say you want to marry me, you can sleep with her, because I have no right to ask you to do so, but after that, after you clearly told me that you want to marry me, you still do this, you don't Do you think you are too bad?! You want to please both sides, how is this possible! Let me tell you that if kindness is hypocritical, it is more detestable than viciousness." Geng Lin just sat on the ground, he felt that what Lou Hong said made sense.But he can't get action instructions from reason all the time, how much he hates certain moments in life, in these moments any reason can influence you, so what can you do.He felt suddenly so weak that he even discovered a new reason why he needed Lou Hong and couldn't live without her: she was stronger than him. Geng Lin's attitude of surrender softened Lou Hong, and she also sat opposite Geng Lin. "You're right." Geng Lin said, "I promise I'll never go back again. Or I won't go back if I don't have to." "I don't want you to promise, of course you can go back, you can even stand in the middle of your home and call me confidently, saying that I am at my home." "I'm confused, what do you want from me?" Geng Lin complained, "Besides, it was your idea to go to see Liu Yun. You asked me to go back and stop her from doing stupid things." "Did you stop her?" "I told her she wouldn't do that." "Of course, if you go back to sleep with her every day, she won't do that in her life." "Then what do you want me to do?" "I want you to respect yourself and know what you're doing." Geng Lin was speechless. "If you still want to give her hope, then don't come and tell me that you love me and marry me. When you respect her as a woman, please don't forget that I am also a woman. Young women need to be treated too Empathize, be held accountable." When Lou Hong said this, tears welled up in her eyes. Geng Lin stood up, turned off the music, and approached Lou Hong. "Come here," he pulled her into his arms, "you know what I am, I can't be that bad. What you just said is right, and I accept it all. But you should believe that I am sincere to you. Now that I have I left Liu Yun, and I didn’t think about turning back. I know, it’s not easy, but I chose. I love you, and I think it’s worth it now. So, please don’t forget, I am a person who can A man who is responsible for you, a woman. Trust me." Lou Hong left his embrace after hearing this.Lou Hong looked at Geng Lin's eyes suspiciously, as if there was an invisible thread connecting their four eyes, and they didn't look away.Then, Lou Hong was like a proud queen, but she threw herself into Geng Lin's embrace with utmost tenderness.
