In Jinan in autumn, the mountains are half yellow, the water is deep green, the sky is so clear that it shines white, and the leaves are as red as big flowers.Warm, clear and dry, happy, exciting, and slightly drowsy.After the Double Ninth Festival, the weather is still so beautiful. Dr. Wen reduced his dislike for Jinan a lot, firstly because the weather is so beautiful, and secondly because Lilin has become his close friend.He didn't feel lonely at all.She led him to all the fun places in Jinan.She tried to teach him a lot of things that he thought rich people should enjoy.He couldn't be idle anymore, because she always had ideas and was willing to spend money.He's used to this, but he's a little scared. Without her, how depressed and boring would he be?I'm used to it.He admitted that she should spend money and he should eat and play for nothing, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all.He seemed unwilling to look for work and seek status anymore, as if the enjoyment and happiness in front of him were enough.If he still thinks about status and job hunting from time to time, it is almost a supplement. He wants to expand his current enjoyment with his own ability and money, such as organizing a very comfortable and elegant small family, buying a car and so on.Thinking about it this way, he sometimes felt that Lilin was not good enough, she didn't have a higher education, and she didn't look very beautiful. If he could buy a car, it seemed that sitting with her would be a bit unsatisfactory.It's questionable whether he'll be able to buy a car, though; no, it's a bit of a dream.Then, since they are eating and drinking, it is best to make do with it.Who knows what my future will be like, it seems inconvenient to throw out the bargains I have already obtained, right?Besides, Lilin was so enthusiastic that she couldn't go without seeing him for almost a day.After seeing him, she had little to say, but she was almost entwined with him—she had managed to give him a kiss on their third meeting.Since she was like this, he seemed to be unable to step back, unable to be indifferent, so he could only admit that this was a life of love.When he couldn't fall asleep, he would doubt her repeatedly, almost thinking that she was a bit vulgar, or that there was something wrong with her.But as soon as he saw her, he found many reasons to forgive her, or he didn't have time to think about it and just played with her.He couldn't play with her without showing some enthusiasm now and then, and he couldn't shake her hand as if he were holding a piece of wood, or kiss her as he would touch his lips to a teacup when drinking tea.No, he'd have to make it look good.He was used to it, he could no longer deny his enthusiasm, and his conscience did not allow him to deny what he had done.He is a little confused.He only wants to succeed in this matter, and there are so many things that are almost impossible here, he dare not let go, and he seems to feel too hot, he has no choice.He could see clearly that she would be engaged to him soon.It is impossible to refuse, and it is a bit awkward to accept.There is no way not to accept it, so it can only flow down like this.That day, playing cards with Mrs. Yang until midnight, he felt very tired; Mrs. Yang advised him to try a cigarette, but he took a puff.Although he didn't enjoy using the cigarette very much, he couldn't help but feel a little grateful for having attracted everyone to be so affectionate to him; who is he?He will teach everyone to serve and love him like this.Although he was opposed to smoking, it was a rich enjoyment after all; he didn't want to take it anymore.But having a bite and playing with it can be regarded as a taste of the hobbies and life of advanced people.If this idea is good, then he must have Lilin, she is the springboard for him to jump on.Besides, these days he has accepted a lot of things he is not used to: a famous actress from an old opera came to Jinan, so Lilin bought the tickets first and then went to ask him out.He has always despised old plays.But after watching it a few times, with Lilin explaining it to him, he also felt a little interesting.Lilin herself is very good at singing, and often hums in her thin voice.He began to suspect that his opposition to old dramas might be a kind of prejudice, which came from ignorance.Having doubted himself so much, he dared not open his mouth to criticize all the things he was not used to, for fear that he would show off again (cut).The enjoyment of rich people is not necessarily good, but they are all particular about size; he has to listen and watch, and stop talking nonsense.This is not surrender, but to be humble and informative, as a kind of preparation for a higher life in the future.In terms of learning, he is a Ph. D., and has reached the highest level, so he does not need to ask anyone for advice; in terms of life, he should not be so self-sufficient and proud.Yes, no matter how I say it, my status is enough to marry the most learned woman, and Lilin is not an ideal person; but she has her advantages, at least she has enriched his life a lot these days, so it must be Give her credit.I am afraid there is no ideal thing in the world, right?Then, she is her, let's get engaged if you get engaged, there is no other way, no!

One day, Dr. Wen and Lilin were wandering in the street.She was wearing extremely high heels, and she could only find the ground with the tip of her toes, so her arms were tightly wrapped around his to prevent her from falling.The more people on the street liked to look at her, the more proud she seemed to be. Every time she said a word, she put her mouth next to his ear, then poked her head out and smiled at him almost mouth-to-mouth.Trying to hide it, but showing a little bit of those black and shiny teeth. Tang Zhenhua came from the opposite side.Dr. Wen saw her from a long distance.It's not appropriate to avoid her; it's not appropriate to say hello to her.For some reason, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.After walking a few steps closer, she also recognized him, and seemed to see his uneasiness and embarrassment. She cleverly ran to the other side of the road.Dr. Wen took Lilin and pretended to look at the goods displayed in the glass window of a department store. He stood there for a while, feeling that Zhenhua had already passed by, and then continued to walk forward.He was very confused.Zhenhua and Lilin fell together in his heart, as if they were on a scale.Zhenhua doesn't have the qualifications to compare with Lilin, so she can't do it anyway.However, meeting her suddenly made him feel Lilin's humbleness.Zhenhua's demeanor and attire seemed to force him to admit this.If he admitted that Lilin was humble, he couldn't help admitting that he was worthless.Zhenhua's shadow was in his heart, he couldn't even breathe freely, he was so congested.

However, he knew that he couldn't let Lilin go.Then, he had no choice but to hate Zhenhua.Originally, there was no reason to hate her, but otherwise it seemed that he could no longer be intimate with Lilin.Zhenhua's bearing and thinking made him ashamed and made him look down on Lilin.He turned around and pointed out Zhenhua's back to Lilin: "Well, Mr. Tang's daughter, despite her inconspicuous appearance, she is quite strong!" He laughed.I thought that with such a smile, I could get rid of the embarrassment just now, but when I laughed halfway up my waist, I was discouraged, the laughter froze in my mouth, and my face suddenly turned red.At the same time, Lilin removed her hand from his arm, and there was an ugly light in her two small black eyes.He began to really hate Zhenhua.

He didn't dare to blame Lilin for being too small-minded, and he was even less willing to plead with her, but she ignored him for two or three days.He couldn't take it anymore.In order to gain ground for himself, he thought it was a sign of her true love for him, and it was unreasonable to be jealous because of love.Well, he is a man, it is inconvenient to fight against women, he has to give her a step first.She cried for a while after all he said and said, and laughed while crying. She couldn't help laughing because she had taken him off his horse.She had no reason to quarrel with him, and she didn't doubt Zhenhua, she just wanted to seize a chance to show him.She is willing to play with him and give him money to spend, and she also has to teach him how powerful she is.Only by combining kissing and hitting can one train a good man, she knows.After this scene, she was very affectionate with him, as if he had been tied to her little finger and played with him casually.He also saw this, but there was nothing he could do about it. He was doing it for money, so what else could he say?On the contrary, he often thinks broadly: he wants a rich woman, and he can get it so easily, it must be a bit of luck, so what is a small bickering!To reach the destination one has to endure the hardships of travelling, of course!

A few days later, he ran into Zhenhua again on the street.Since he was walking alone, he greeted her. "Dr. Wen," she smiled slightly, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Father just wanted to talk to you. He is very busy with that errand. He wants to see you and see if you have any other contacts." .Father only relies on connections!" "I went to the mansion for half a day, and I was not idle, of course it is!" He suddenly stopped the second half of the sentence. "—The more contacts the better?" She smiled again, "Okay, see you another day!"

He didn't say anything yet.He couldn't tell how much he hated this woman, her words were always tinged with thorns; why would a woman hate it so much!He spat violently, as frustrated as if he met a nun when he went out. Her dislike was not limited to her bad-sounding words. As soon as he met her, he immediately wanted to re-evaluate Lilin's value with a different perspective.At this time, he could judge very coldly, and felt that Lilin was wrapping around him like a poisonous snake.Naturally, after a while, he went to look for the poisonous snake again, and forgot about Zhenhua.However, he couldn't be completely relieved, he always wanted to find out some of Lilin's faults, not for anything else, as if it was just to satisfy his conscience.Zhenhua made him embarrassed, uneasy, ashamed, and confused.He couldn't find Lilin's fault, because he didn't dare to look for it, so what if he found it?Mo Ruo is at ease with the situation.But, but, Zhenhua's shadow was always haunting him; he couldn't deal with Lilin, so he hated Zhenhua more and more.

What Dr. Wen would like to know but dare not ask is this: Lilin is a smart and stupid girl.Just like an illiterate person who is good at playing chess and cards, her intelligence is used in the lounge of life.While reading, she can dance, dress up, and act!Show off, lose your temper, be queen.Her money is enough to help her do this to good.In schoolwork, she is stupid.In high school, junior high school, and high school, she barely managed to graduate; it's not so much that she can graduate, it's better to say that the school is embarrassed not to give favors.She wanted to go to university very much, but she couldn't pass the exam.She doesn't want to go to university to study hard, but to prepare herself for a qualification so that she can marry a man like an overseas student.Money, she has it at home; rich businessmen, she is tired of seeing them; so she is willing to ask for an overseas student, or a famous writer or artist.Her little education afforded her only so little vanity.

Apart from this little education, most of her tricks and knowledge came from movies and sentimental novels.She thinks it is the most polite to look up to men with her shoulders up, and it is the most modern to love each other as soon as they meet; her life is a kind of game, and she must find the most exciting, noblest happiness and honor from the game; It is easy and low; all that can be obtained is noble and glorious.Like a grass flower in summer, she has only color but no fragrance. These are enough to make her a modern Lin Daiyu, wearing high-heeled shoes and pondering the sweet dreams of love all day long.When she was in high school, she already had many lovers of the same sex, hugging each other and eating chewing gum.When she was in middle school, she already knew how to write love letters secretly. The letters were badly written, but the letter paper was very particular.It's not entirely her fault that the rich family is out of love.However, she is not as sympathetic as Lin Daiyu, what she thinks of must be tried on the ground, and she has to touch her dreams with her fingers.Old Mrs. Yang often called prostitutes to beat her waist, and Lilin had the opportunity to ask some practical questions.So her dreams were not exactly rosy fantasies, but a kind of oppression, an oppression that made her want to take risks.She is not the girl in white in the romantic poet's mind, she wants some real happiness.Smelling the scent of Parisian perfume and powder on her body, she was quiet, yet impatient, expecting some rough attack, like weeds waiting for a rainstorm in dry weather.

The Yang family kept having foreign students coming, but it was not Lilin's turn, she was the "six" girl.In terms of vanity, she had to wait patiently. She had to ask for a young man with a degree from a foreign university.However, she has nothing to do all day long, so she can afford to be anxious, and her impatience makes her even put aside her ideals, and first solve the relatively humble requirements and desires. She asked Mrs. Yang to hire her a Teacher, make up your homework and get ready for the university entrance exam.A man surnamed Zhu who has not yet graduated from university came to teach her English mathematics.This Mr. Zhu looks very ordinary, but he is not very old.Almost as soon as he entered the door, Lilin caught him.Soon, she became pregnant.

Pregnancy managed to get rid of it.She herself did not like Mr. Zhu.Since she didn't want to talk to him, the Yang family dismissed him casually, knowing that their girl was not prepared for a college student. Dr. Wen came at the right time.In Lilin's eyes, men are not much different, as long as they have a degree, she can nod to the whole Yang family.Besides, although Dr. Wen is not very beautiful, he is not surprisingly ugly.No, not only is he not difficult to describe, but in her eyes he is also a little cute.This is not whether she loves or not, but what she sees from the movie.The honest and well-behaved husbands in the movies are just like him. They are all square and sharp, of medium build, with clean clothes, and they speak and act deliberately to be pleasing... Dr. Wen has this Since it is like this in the movies, Lilin can't think of any reason why she can't like him.Besides, even if this standard is not completely reliable, he is not necessarily uglier than those foreign students who came here before. Lilin must know that her second sister-in-law—a biologist studying in France—looks like a donkey. , but not as respectable as a donkey.Doctors and masters don't always stand side by side with being romantic and handsome, she has already seen it clearly.She couldn't let Dr. Wen go, even if he was ugly, she would have to make do with it, and she couldn't wait any longer.Besides, if you wait any longer, you may not have to wait for a donkey or a monkey.That's him.Her ideals, vanity, impatience, standards, chastity, filth, innocence, sophistication, youth, desire, delicateness, frivolity, all condensed in one place, forming a very fine net, Dr. Wen fell into the net as soon as he appeared .Dr. Natural Wen thought it was just good luck.
