Chapter 8 71-80

71 When they were sleeping together at night, Yuan Xiaochen suddenly sighed and said, "Faye Wong already said that since all men are bastards, why don't you find a handsome bastard." "Don't praise me." "Hey, hey, hey, what people are talking about is Nicholas Tse, although he is much better than you, but that's all it is, this is also Faye Wong, there are so many handsome guys, why do you have to pick out a black crab shell face, or Not as good as Edison Chen!" "Further up, it's me." "Get out! This handsome guy has nothing to do with you, give up."

"Hey, Faye Wong's matter has nothing to do with you. Don't forget, it's about successful women." "What's the matter? Whether you are successful or not, I will grab you, and I will die with you. If I grab you, you will be a successful woman, understand? Stupid! Men like you are called sluts! Let's go, I'm still a fart!" In a word, my heart tightened when I said it. Only now did I realize that she might be serious about me. "Ask you something serious." After a while, she leaned over. "Ask." I said. "What do you think I am?"

"I——I originally thought that you were just a friend with a gun, but whoever wanted to make you fall in love with three or two times." Hearing what I said, she kicked her legs on the bed happily. "I'm young and beautiful, and I can save money," she said proudly, "That's all you men want!" After that, he grabbed my hair, looked carefully at the bedside lamp, then shook his head and sighed: "Hey, you look so ugly, if I didn't sympathize with you and live with you, believe it or not? You committed suicide long ago!" "Hey, I'm so handsome, I'm so greedy that you almost lose your mind, right?"

"Crazy you! Look at you, when you saw me for the first time, you were so angry that you fell over, don't you really want to grow up like me? However, you are considered happy enough, you can watch it for free for a year or so With a glance at me, luck is really good, why am I not as lucky as you?" "You look good? Don't be ridiculous, you are in the bottom ten of African beauty pageants every year!" We were as usual, but we had a few words of bickering before going to bed, and then went to sleep peacefully. 72 Now that the trump card was suddenly revealed, she was even more unscrupulously happy the next day. As soon as she woke up, she put on a tied-up look and dragged me to the bathroom to take a shower.

"I've wanted to talk about this for a long time! It doesn't matter if you don't like to take a bath, you have to think about it for me. I said why I can't wake up all day long. It's all because of you. Go and wash. Go, and don't forget the super strong laundry detergent and that shoe brush!" When I came out of the shower, she sprayed me with her own perfume at the door, then leaned on me and smelled it around: "It smells so good, so sexy, like a city dweller." Afterwards, I called the gymnasium to book a badminton court for the night, put down the phone and said to me: "You need to exercise your body too, I don't blame you for the poor sex service before, you literati, you look sour That's enough, now that your script is finished, it's time to slowly get on the right track, let's go, let's buy a racket, yours is less than ten yuan, mine can't be less than three thousand."

73 We went to a sporting goods supermarket together. We had agreed to buy only two rackets and a tube of badminton, but unexpectedly we each bought two sets of sportswear and sports shoes, as well as some knee pads and wrist pads and sweat-absorbing cotton socks. They are all high-end products. Uncharacteristically, she insisted on paying the bill, and she didn't think about discounting at all, "I brought up this matter, and of course I use my money. I feel distressed, and I only hope that this huge sum of money will be spent." Worth it." Seeing her spend nearly 3,000 yuan without blinking an eye, I was stunned: "Hey, can I ask how much money you make a month?"

I said to her as I walked out the door of the store. "Listen well, this month I am a villain, the company gave me a notebook worth 34,000 yuan, my salary is 5,000 yuan, the overtime pay is at least 2,000 yuan, and the bonus is 1,000 yuan, and the company pays for me. Medical insurance, housing funds saved for me, and mobile phone bills are also reimbursed. I can’t even add up the odds and ends. Don’t worry, I’m worth a lot, and you won’t suffer if you follow me.” At the end, She put on an earthy smile and laughed. "Hey, listen up, this is the last time." I said quite seriously, and then hugged her and joked, "You know it's a bit hard for me to be a pretty face at my age, although I know you're a rich woman with a good-looking It's ugly and no one wants it, but it's not so miserable that it's upside down, and people will laugh at you if you tell it, how can a woman spend money on a man, idiot!"

"I'm from Beijing!" She answered me, "It's not like those southern girls who love you just to sell you, and they will rely on pornography to earn money from men confidently. They are too backward. Don't you know that Faye Wong gave Nicholas Tse a sports car? We That’s how Beijingers are!” "Don't forget that I'm also from Beijing. Aren't you forcing poor writers to improve their lives? Let's go to Maxim's for consumption! Stop talking nonsense!" 74 At noon, we came to Maxim's restaurant in Chongwenmen, sat in the innermost dining room and ate French dishes, lobster, snail, foie gras, steak and red wine. At the end of the meal, Yuan Xiaochen was eaten up. She encouraged Rubbing over from the opposite side of the table, he sighed and sat down next to me: "Is there any counterfeit money to pay them? If not, let's not come here in the future. This is a place to eat and drink with public funds. Eat in your mouth and hurt in your heart. Do you understand? I'll finish that bottle of red wine later and we'll go, I told

You, I don't like to drink, but I want to stay here for a while to occupy their space. " When paying the bill, Yuan Xiaochen stared at me counting the money from the wallet without blinking, and then looked at the waiter with hatred, as if she wanted to grab the money back, but before the waiter turned around, she gave it viciously. I punched him: "Damn, isn't this the same business as our company? The more luxurious you are, the more you earn. In the future, save your money to buy milk powder for your children. Don't show off in front of me in private, you hear me? Thousands and four hundred yuan! Even a shadow disappeared in more than an hour. If I knew it, I would buy another pair of imported tennis rackets. You can eat a sport with one meal. You can imagine such a thing, I say go Just eat some popular food outside, you have to go inside and be a fool, 1,400 yuan, more expensive than poison!"

"Didn't you spend more than 10,000 yuan for a meal last time?" "Are you sick? It's the company's money. I go to the cash register to sing and open the top Chivas Regal and earn overtime pay! Is it the same? I don't want to play golf anymore. I really want what I eat to stay on me longer After a while, it will be very valuable." She said to me coquettishly, her face still had a distressed look on her face. A few passers-by approached us and separated us. Looking at her swaying figure in the crowd, a trace of tenderness surged into my heart. I like the upright and simple attitude of the poor, and I have an indescribable aversion to vanity and sensationalism. This is predestined and cannot be changed. No matter what I become, the blood of the poor still flows in my veins. I sell my labor to earn money. I hate luxury and extravagance. I like the frugality and practicality of small households. I know, When being at the mercy of various forces in society, it is impossible to maintain face, let alone human dignity, but I still have an attempt to maintain it, and I will always remember this attempt, trying to make a living for this Attempts and quietly struggle.

I went to the front, grabbed Yuan Xiaochen, and we walked forward side by side. At that moment, I already knew that she moved me, just when the sun shone on our faces from the top of the tall building, and when we walked back to the In the shadows covered by commercial buildings, when Yuan Xiaochen turned his head and made a face at me, although I am not a poor person at all now, I know that there is nothing more touching in the world than the joy of the poor. It is a little bit of satisfaction that can be obtained from completely suppressed desires, it is the most precious jewel set in the bottom of life, and it is the true feeling of returning from losing one's fortune. 75 For a while, I felt a lot of emotions, and a determination to die with Yuan Xiaochen quietly rose in my heart-just live and die with the common people, live a simple life, sex and food are everything, and no longer be coquettish Kneading, no more fantasies, no more envy, one day, sex will be lost, in the end, we will die with the rich, bid farewell to the cold and dark universe I know, like all insignificant creatures, that is us duty. "Hey, where are you going?" Yuan Xiaochen grabbed me who was walking wildly. "Ah, I was distracted. There are so many beauties on the street, it makes my testicles hurt." "Ah! You're going to die if you're not awesome!" Yuan Xiaochen shouted loudly, and kicked me casually, "I have doubted your sexual ability for a long time, go tear off the small advertisement on the telephone pole, and return Everyone should study it carefully, maybe the folk remedy can cure your stinky problem!" 76 Yuan Xiaochen and I were full and strolled on the commercial street. The old flower market was knocked down, and the original movie theater and Xinhua Bookstore were moved somewhere. The next stop was Ciqikou. I can’t even remember. This street has completely changed. It became a sea of ​​goods, Yuan Xiaochen led the way, and walked into one shopping mall after another. The various commodities on the counters were shining, casting a kind of rich and comfortable light on the people who shopped in the mall. I saw Yuan Xiaochen Like an automatic searchlight, her eyes scan over every product, and finally focus on some daily necessities that she is interested in. She must be thinking about what I lack, what she lacks, these consumer goods that everyone can have Fascinated by clothes, shoes, towels, bath towels, cosmetics, everything in my opinion is dispensable, she works hard just to increase purchasing power, what else does she care about?Maybe she just wants to find a relative to build her imaginary world, a world similar to others, a small family, a happy family, a good night's sleep on rest days, watching TV commenting on the appearance and behavior of entertainment stars, plus Some popular songs that you won't listen to again when you reach middle age, work hard, come on, let your hair spread out, breathe in the wind like waves, let your flesh gather into an elastic life, not to be recorded life, a life that is ups and downs in the crowds of the city. 77 Look, I'm touched by your poverty, I appreciate your poverty, I appreciate everything you worry about, daily necessities, housing, cars, long distance travel, even if you can't do these things, you will look poor And beautiful, in fact, you are beautiful because of yearning, and, I know, even only yearning is beautiful. 78 When we played badminton in the evening, we were exhausted, but the newly bought sportswear had been changed and the money had been spent, so we had to resolutely finish playing for an hour. When we were tired, we sat down and drank drinks, and the topic was still to comment on those A player who had never met before, Yuan Xiaochen was very excited when he saw a handsome guy who looked like Edison Chen, and turned to look at me with some dissatisfaction: "Hey, if you want to grow like that, I will buy you a more expensive racket and watch him dance." How high!" "He wouldn't have to jump so high if he had a cliff under his feet." It was easy for me to reciprocate. "He must look better at night." "Of course, if his body odor creeps from your underarms to your olfactory system." "Hey, why are you so jealous of other people's merits? Are you afraid that I won't want you? Don't worry, pig liver sauce, I'm not that cruel, but when I dump you, as long as you cry in front of me for a few more minutes, I will be relieved." "Is it worth envying because of body odor?" "Why are you so vicious? It's as if I've heard it. Someone provoked you?" "Before your heart softened, my legs were already weak, and this handsome guy smoked me." 79 When we came out of the gymnasium, it was already dark, but the temperature was moderate. When we walked to the parking lot, we could see the stars when we looked up. Yuan Xiaochen and I leaned against the car to breathe. Yuan Xiaochen ignored my objection and wiped the sweat off my face with a paper towel. Wiping my face with paper towel foam, she looked at me and laughed. "How is it? Pig head cake, how is the effect of this aerobic exercise? Do you want to ask me to check it in the car?" "Just stand outside the car, go, take off your pants, and get on the trunk!" "Then you stand behind me?" "Me? I'm sitting in the driver's seat and calling the police. I'm afraid that I'll be hit by a mentally ill person by backing up." "Get out!" Yuan Xiaochen, who had already pretended to walk to the back of the car, turned around and cursed. Seeing that I didn't respond, she called me in a low voice, "Come here, come here." I walked over, and she was already sitting on the trunk, and then leaning against the rear windshield, I sat with her, looking up at the stars, the parking lot was silent, and no one came, we just stayed like this, posture Like movie stars, we still take a sip of a drink from time to time, and we don’t know whether people who see us will call us romantic or scary. 80 All people, the dead, the living, and those who will be born in the future will all see the same night sky, the same Sirius, the same Big Dipper, the same Vega, and the same light. , and keep it mysterious, just like countless white-collar workers sitting in countless office buildings, you can't see each of them, or, you see it and then forget it.But I can't forget that Yuan Xiaochen is right in front of me, the night wind messes her hair, and the night wind sweeps her face, the silver face can make people forget their troubles, because in my fantasy, she is willing to replace me to worry.
