Chapter 6 Chapter 5 The Taste Gone with the Wind

Gu Gu was sleeping at Weng Xinliang's feet. Weng Xinliang was drinking coffee again, but he didn't know which cup it was. He would have diarrhea after drinking coffee, so he was very busy and had no time to think about other things.He used this method to calm himself down.He felt that running away was a very irresponsible thing, and there should be an explanation, so he mustered up the courage to call Chen Yu again, hoping that she would be fine if she wasn't at home, but Chen Yu came to answer the phone—— "Hello—" Chen Yu picked up the phone. Weng Xinliang didn't know what to say to her.

Chen Yu didn't make a sound, she knew it was Weng Xinliang. Weng Xinliang held the receiver for a long time, but still didn't know how to speak, so he finally hung up. Chen Yu was very disappointed, there was nothing to say between them. At noon the next day, Hu Xiaodie came to see Weng Xinliang. "I have found a house for you, and you can move now." "So fast?" "Same building as me." Hu Xiaodie found Gu Gu Gu: "Hey, whose dog is this? It's very cute." She squatted down to play with Gu Gu Gu. "be mine." "Is it yours? When did you get a dog? What's its name?"

Weng Xinliang picked up the suitcase and called Gu Gu: "Gu Gu, let's go." "Cuckoo? The name is really strange." Hu Xiaodie began to doubt the origin of Cuckoo. Weng Xinliang moved to Hu Xiaodie's building, and he lived on the sixth floor. "Go back to the clinic, I'll clean up the place for you, and it will stay here too." Hu Xiaodie said to Weng Xinliang, hugging Gu Gu. "Thank you." Weng Xinliang said. "You seem very unhappy." "no." "You regret choosing me." Hu Xiaodie said. "Don't be stupid." Weng Xinliang said, "I'm at work."

Hu Xiaodie took off the dog leash for Gu Gu Gu, and accidentally found a note in the small leather bag on the dog leash. People usually write the address and put it on the pet. Home.The note had an address and phone number on it. Hu Xiaodie dialed the phone number on the note. "Hello—who are you looking for?" Hu Xiaodie recognized that it was Chen Yu's voice, this Chow Chow really belonged to Chen Yu, Weng Xinliang must have met Chen Yu last night. "Hello—" Chen Yu thought it was Weng Xinliang again. "Are you Chen Yu?" "I am, who are you?"

"I'm Hu Xiaodie, do you remember who I am?" "Remember." Chen Yu said coldly, she didn't expect her to come to the door, "What can you do with me?" "Do you have time to come out for a cup of tea?" Chen Yu also wanted to meet this woman.They met and waited in the coffee room of a hotel in Admiralty. "What do you want to drink?" Hu Xiaodie asked her. "Water." Chen Yu said.She noticed that Hu Xiaodie was smoking Camel cigarettes. "I'm going to switch to another brand. Weng Xinliang doesn't like me smoking such strong cigarettes." Hu Xiaodie said.

"Really? What do you want from me?" Hu Xiaodie lowered her head. "Don't you have something to say to me?" Hu Xiaodie raised her head, her eyelashes filled with tears, this was beyond Chen Yu's expectation, losers don't cry, but winners do. "I'm sorry." Hu Xiaodie said. Chen Yu didn't expect her to apologize to her. "You didn't apologize to me." "Weng Xinliang is my first boyfriend and also my first man." Hu Xiaodie said. Weng Xinliang never told Chen Yu about this, she suddenly felt a little ashamed, because Weng Xinliang was not her first man, in this point, she lost to Hu Xiaodie.

"I left him that day. He was hurt a lot. He went to Japan for many years. We met again recently. You know, a man can't forget a woman who hurt him so much—" Chen Yu was silent. "I also didn't expect that after many things, we finally came together again." Hu Xiaodie said. Chen Yu thinks that this woman is really powerful, she was originally the third party between her and Weng Xinliang, but now she said that she and Weng Xinliang had only been separated for a while, and now that they are back together, Chen Yu is the third party ,outsider.She is just a passerby between Hu Xiaodie and Weng Xinliang.

"I know you and Weng Xinliang had a very happy time, and he said the same thing." Hu Xiaodie said. "What did he say?" "Yes." Hu Xiaodie said, "He is a good man, he doesn't want to hurt you." "That's what he said too?" Chen Yu resentfully said. "He's not good at saying goodbye, so he left without telling you clearly. He's at my house now." "He is not good at saying goodbye!" Chen Yu sneered, could it be that if he is not good at saying goodbye, he can just leave? Chen Yu pretended to be cool and said: "It is unnecessary to say goodbye."

"Do you hate me?" Hu Xiaodie asked Chen Yu. "Why should I hate you?" Chen Yu asked back.If she wanted to hate, she only hated Weng Xinliang. "I'm not as strong as you, I really envy you. I can't live without him." Hu Xiaodie said pitifully. Chen Yu suddenly understood why Weng Xinliang chose Hu Xiaodie, because she was weak, gentle and in need of protection, while she herself seemed too strong, Weng Xinliang thought she could bear the pain.Strong women are often the losers in love. "Can you tell me one thing?" Chen Yu asked. "What's up?"

"Who proposed the first date after you reunited?" "He." Hu Xiaodie said. Chen Yu gave up, stood up: "I have something to go first." "Hey, what kind of dog food does Gugu eat? Gugu is very cute." Hu Xiaodie said, "I'm afraid it won't be used to the new dog food." "Let it try a new taste, it may never like the old one." Chen Yu expressed his feeling. "I'll take good care of it." "It wasn't mine in the first place." Chen Yu said, she suddenly thought that this sentence might have another meaning, and corrected: "I mean Gu Gu."

"I understand." Hu Xiaodie said. "goodbye." "Chen Yu—" Hu Xiaodie called her to stop. Chen Yu turned around. "Thank you." Hu Xiaodie said. Chen Yu laughed: "You don't need to thank me, I didn't give him to you." Hu Xiaodie watched Chen Yu leave, her hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, she had never negotiated with another woman, she was lucky enough to meet a very kind woman, Chen Yu believed her lie.In order to get Weng Xinliang, she will do whatever it takes. God will have mercy on her, because she is out of love. Chen Yu was sobbing in the taxi, she had never had experience negotiating with another woman, there was a huge gap between strength and weakness, she lost.It was Weng Xinliang who took the initiative to associate with Hu Xiaodie, he was not forced but betrayed her on his own initiative.She hated herself why she took the initiative to fall in love with this man that day, she just used him to pass through the sad days. Hu Xiaodie feeds Gugu with the new dog food, but Gugu doesn't seem to be interested in eating it.It misses its mistress. When Weng Xinliang came back, he saw the new dog food on the table and said to Hu Xiaodie, "It doesn't eat this kind." Weng Xinliang took out two cans of another brand of dog food. "Oh, so it's this brand, I'll find out later." "Guess where I went today?" Weng Xinliang shook his head. "I'll go out and buy daily necessities for you." Hu Xiaodie pointed to more than a dozen shopping bags on the ground, "The feeling of buying underwear, toothbrushes and other daily necessities for you turned out to be very happy. How could I not realize it before?" Hu Xiaodie threw herself into Weng Xinliang's arms and said, "Don't leave me." She said it was pitiful, but her voice was weak but seemed powerful enough to melt any hard-hearted man. Ma Le received a call from Chen Yu in the early morning. "Come to my house, come quickly." Chen Yu said on the phone. Ma Le didn't know what happened to her, so he rushed there, Chen Yu came to open the door, Ma Le was startled when he entered the room, there were ten chow chow dogs several months old drinking milk in the living room. "What the hell are you doing?" "I used all my savings to buy dogs, 6,000 yuan per head, 60,000 yuan in total." Chen Yu was busy wiping their mouths. "Where's Gu Gu?" "Return it to Weng Xinliang." Chen Yu said. Ma Le squatted down and asked, "Have you met Weng Xinliang?" Chen Yu shook his head: "I left Gu Gu Gu at his door and ran away, I was afraid to see him." "Why do you buy so many dogs? When they grow up, they won't be able to squeeze into this room." Marle said. "Why don't you scold me for spending all my savings on buying dogs?" Chen Yu asked Ma Le. "As long as you feel happy." "Thank you." Chen Yu said tearfully, "I met Hu Xiaodie today." "What did she say?" "Anyway, I'm out. Marle, can you lend me the money? I want to go to France to find Titi. I'll use four chow chows as collateral." "No." Ma Le said, "I want ten as collateral." "Okay." Chen Yu said. "If you don't come back, I will destroy them all." Marle said. "Thank you." Chen Yu said tearfully, "I will be back." "You'd better come back." "There is one more thing for you." Chen Yu took down the cage, "This lovesickness, please return it to Weng Xinliang for me." Five days later, Ma Le sent Shen Yu to the airport. "You don't need to come back in a hurry." Ma Le said, "I won't kill your ten little babies yet, but when you come back, you will be happier than now." Chen Yu hugged Ma Le. "This time it's your turn to hug me." "Yes, I hugged you." Chen Yu said. Chen Yu wept on the direct flight to Paris, and Titi died in the air crash with a happy heart. They were also taking this flight. Will they have the same fate?Chen Yu suddenly hoped that there would be a plane crash, and she would die on this waterway. If so, Weng Xinliang would probably miss her.Unfortunately, things backfired and she arrived safely in Paris.She doesn't want to go back.She didn't tell Ma Le that she had quit her job at Ocean Park.If it is not difficult for her to stay in Paris, the Chinese restaurant run by Titi's parents will be willing to take her in as a waitress or something. A month has passed, and the fish has not returned yet, and one of the chow chows fell ill, and the disease spread to the other nine chows.Ma Le took them to find Weng Xinliang. "You bought so many dogs?" Weng Xinliang was surprised. "These dogs are all fish sinkers," Marle said. "Oh." Weng Xinliang nodded, "Are you together?" "She went to Paris," Marle said. "I just took care of the dogs for her. She said she would come back." Weng Xinliang felt a little sad. At this time, Hu Xiaodie came in. "Ma Le, what a coincidence?" "My dog ​​is sick." "Wow! You raise so many dogs by yourself?" "It's lonely." Marle said. "I bought vegetables, how about having dinner together tonight?" "You are so happy!" Ma Le said to Weng Xinliang. Weng Xinliang knew that Ma Le was deliberately teasing him. "Come and eat." Weng Xinliang said, he was determined to make peace. "Okay." Ma Le understood Weng Xinliang's meaning. After all, they were good friends, and it would seem that he was too petty to turn his back on a woman, and a woman who was a friend. "I have to send these ten little babies home to settle down first." Marle said. "We'll be waiting for you at home. This is my address." Weng Xinliang wrote him the address, "It's seven o'clock, okay?" "Okay." Marle said. "We're meeting at seven o'clock," Hu Xiaodie said. Weng Xinliang helped carry the Chow Chow into Ma Le's car. "Did Chen Yu look for you?" Weng Xinliang asked Ma Le. Ma Le shook his head: "She won't think of me." "What is she doing in Paris?" Weng Xinliang asked. "I don't know, how are you and Hu Xiaodie?" "I can't disappoint another woman." Weng Xinliang said. "You only failed one woman." Ma Le got into the car: "See you at seven." Hu Xiaodie came out and asked Weng Xinliang: "Have you and Ma Le ever had a dispute?" "why would you say so?" "You two didn't seem to be so polite before, is it because of Chen Yu?" Weng Xinliang told Hu Xiaodie the truth and was speechless. "Ma Le always falls in love with the women around you." Hu Xiaodie said with a smile. "nonsense." "I hope I'm talking nonsense!" Marle brought ten chow cubs home and fed them medicine one by one, never thinking that he would become their slave.He can only treat them as the whole savings of the sunken fish, and in this case, he will be happy to take this responsibility. When the phone rang, he thought it was Weng Xinliang calling to urge him. "Hello." Ma Le answered the phone. "Hi, is that Marle?" This voice is very familiar. "Are you Chen Yu?" Ma Le asked excitedly. "Yes!" Chen Yu said. "Is it really you? Where are you?" "I'm in Paris." Chen Yu said. "Are you still not coming back?" Chen Yu didn't answer, just said: "I work in the Chinese restaurant opened by Titi's parents. It's lunch time, and I suddenly remembered that I haven't contacted you for a long time." "How are you?" Marle asked her. "Okay." Chen Yu said. Marle heard her say good afternoon to the guests in French. "Where are my ten cubs?" Chen Yu asked Marle. "They are sick, I just took them to see a doctor." Ma Le suddenly remembered that he had said something wrong, and Chen Yu should have thought that he had just met Weng Xinliang.Sure enough, Chen Yu was silent for a while. "When will you come back to pick them up? I'm so annoyed." Ma Le deliberately forced Chen Yu to tell the date of his return. "I'll call you again, bye." Chen Yu hung up. Ma Le was very disappointed, she refused to leave even her phone number. Chen Yu is busy dealing with lunchtime customers at a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown in Paris. The biggest advantage of this job is that he is so busy that he falls asleep when he gets home, so he doesn't have to think about it.It was indeed today that she suddenly thought of Marle.The only thing she can't forget is Weng Xinliang.This trauma does not know until that day it will heal. Chen Yu lives in a building over 200 years old near the restaurant.On rainy days, water seeps everywhere in the room, and Chen Yu simply ignores it. Anyway, on a sunny day, open the window, and the accumulated water will evaporate automatically.The unemployed man in the next-door unit raised a lizard about three feet long, which looked very scary, and its skin was already creepy.One night, Chen Yu came back to her room and lay on the bed, feeling her thighs were itchy. She lifted the quilt and found the big lizard crawling on her thighs. The unemployed man called out, cursing him with a series of Cantonese swear words.Back in the room, she didn't dare to sleep on the bed, preferring to lie on the ground with stagnant water. This was when she hated Weng Xinliang the most, and she felt that all these sufferings were given to her by Weng Xinliang.She was also jealous of Titi, she died when a man loved her the most, and she died so suddenly, so quickly, almost certainly without pain, but she herself had to suffer this kind of suffering that was more painful than death. Hu Xiaodie made a few side dishes for Weng Xinliang and Ma Le to drink. Ma Le ate with his heart full of thoughts, and he missed Shen Yu. "You live together now?" Ma Le asked Weng Xinliang. "She lives upstairs." Weng Xinliang said. "When I came out, I just received a call from Chen Yu." "How is she?" "She works alone in Titi's parents' Tang restaurant, you go and see her." Weng Xinliang sighed, "What should I tell her? Tell her I'm with another woman now?" "You really don't love her at all?" "She often reminds me of Titi. As long as I'm with her, I can't forget Titi. It's unfair to her. With Hu Xiaodie, I won't think of Titi." Weng Xinliang said. "I'm asking if you ever loved her?" Marle said. "Yes." Weng Xinliang said. "I thought not." "Who do you think I am?" Weng Xinliang said. "Chen Yu may not know that you have loved her, go and pick her up!" Weng Xinliang was noncommittal. Suddenly there was the sound of overturning the dishes in the kitchen, which startled Weng Xinliang and Ma Le because it came so suddenly. "I'll go in and have a look." Weng Xinliang walked into the kitchen. Hu Xiaodie knocked over a few dishes and stood there at a loss. "Are you okay?" Weng Xinliang asked Hu Xiaodie. "I hear everything." Hu Xiaodie turned around and stared at Weng Xinliang. Weng Xinliang was speechless. "Go, you go and pick up Chen Yu, I'll go!" Hu Xiaodie said. "Don't do this!" Weng Xinliang pulled Hu Xiaodie. Hu Xiaodie rushed out of the hall and walked in front of Ma Le. When Ma Le saw Hu Xiaodie standing in front of him, he was very embarrassed. "You are not welcome here." Hu Xiaodie said to Ma Le. Ma Le knew that she must have overheard the conversation between him and Weng Xinliang just now, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks and stood up slowly. "Xiaodie!" Weng Xinliang stopped Hu Xiaodie. "Weng Xinliang won't pick her up." Hu Xiaodie emphasized. Weng Xinliang embarrassed Hu Xiaodie and didn't know how to explain it to Ma Le. "I'll go first, goodbye." Ma Le said to Weng Xinliang and Hu Xiaodie. Weng Xinliang sent Ma Le out. "I'm sorry." Weng Xinliang said awkwardly. Ma Le left with a wry smile, he felt that he was suffering this kind of humiliation for Chen Yu, since it was for Chen Yu, this kind of humiliation was nothing. "What are you doing?" Weng Xinliang asked Hu Xiaodie. "I'm sorry." Hu Xiaodie cried and said, "I'm afraid of losing you. I'm afraid you will really go to her." "Many things can no longer start from scratch." Weng Xinliang said. "Let's get married!" Hu Xiaodie said as she leaned against Weng Xinliang. Weng Xinliang is not mentally prepared to get married at all, he feels that he is currently in chaos. "You don't want to get married?" Hu Xiaodie asked Weng Xinliang. Weng Xinliang didn't know how to answer to satisfy her. Unexpectedly, Hu Xiaodie didn't get angry because he didn't respond, she lay softly on his lap and said: "I'm already very tired." "I know." Weng Xinliang gently stroked her hair.Hu Xiaodie has a great advantage, she is never aggressive and knows how to advance and retreat.It is difficult for a man to refuse such a woman. "I will apologize to Ma Le tomorrow." Hu Xiaodie said. "No need." Weng Xinliang said. The next day, when Ma Le was practicing in the recital hall, he received a call from Hu Xiaodie. "I'm very sorry about what happened yesterday." Hu Xiaodie said, "Do you have time? I'll treat you to dinner to make amends." In fact, Ma Le didn't blame Hu Xiaodie, in order to show his feelings, he had to go on this date.In order to accommodate Hu Xiaodie, they had lunch at the airport restaurant. "Sorry, I lost my temper with you yesterday." Hu Xiaodie said. "It's my fault, I shouldn't mention Chen Yu in front of you." "You like her very much?" "No." Marle denied with a flushed face. "I know Weng Xinliang still hasn't forgotten her." Hu Xiaodie said. "He has chosen you." Marle said. "This is exactly my pain. He stays with me, but he thinks about other women. Is Chen Yu in Paris?" Marle nodded. "This morning, as long as I knew there was a plane coming from Paris, I was worried that one of the passengers would be a sunken fish. Marle, I love him very much." Hu Xiaodie said through gritted teeth. "I won't tell Weng Xinliang about Chen Yu again." Ma Le promised Hu Xiaodie. Ma Le didn't want to miss the call from Chen Yu, so he specially applied for a service from the telephone company, which could transfer the phone number at home to the paging station, so even if he was not at home, Chen Yu would not be afraid that he would not be found. After two months, Chen Yu still didn't call. The ten chow cubs grew bigger day by day, filling up a house several hundred feet away. Ma Le had no choice but to put five of them in a pet hotel. They are only fostered at a friend's house, and there are only two left.He had been to Ocean Park to ask when Chen Yu would come back, and they said she had quit her job before going to France.Ma Le suddenly realized that she might not come back. In the middle of the month, he received a letter from Chen Yu from Paris.The letter said: Marle, have you ever read the story of the singer Arion in Greek mythology?Poseidon had a son named Arion, who was an expert at playing the lyre. One day, he participated in a music competition held in Tenarus, Sicily, and won the championship. People who admired him gave him many valuable gifts. Take all his prizes and kill him.Arion said to the captain: "Please allow me to sing the last song." The captain agreed, and Arion, wearing a gorgeous robe, went to the deck and begged the gods to bless him with passionate songs. At the end of the song, he jumped into the sea. However, his singing attracted a group of music-loving dolphins, and one of the dolphins carried Arion on his back.He caught up with the ship that night, and returned to Corinth in a few days.Dolphin is unwilling to part with Arion and insists on sending him to the court.In the court, it lived in glory and wealth, and soon lost its life.Arion held a grand funeral for it. Over the past few days, I suddenly realized that I was the dolphin in mythology, and I gave Weng Xinliang a ride on his saddest day.I shouldn't live with him, I will lose my life because of it. Marle, have those ten chow chows grown a lot?Please sell them, and I will return the money to you.What about Acacia?Has Acacia been returned to him? The envelope was not addressed. Ma Le looked at Acacia in the cage, he was always reluctant to return it to Weng Xinliang.He selfishly wanted to keep it for the time being.Now is the time to return it to its original owner.Ma Le let it eat a rich lunch, and then took it to Weng Xinliang. "I thought Chen Yu let it go." Weng Xinliang said. "She asked me to return it to you before she left." Weng Xinliang put the birdcage on the operating table, Xiangsi flapped his wings twice in the cage, and blew a series of notes, which were the notes Weng Xinliang blew to the dolphins. "Why does it sing this song?" Weng Xinliang was surprised. "Is this a song? It seems to be just a string of notes. After I brought it home, it has been blowing this string of notes. Maybe someone taught it." Ma Le said. Weng Xinliang knew that Chen Yu taught it.He once taught her to play this string of notes. He didn't take this trivial matter to heart, but she remembered it.Weng Xinliang hung the birdcage in front of the window, and Xiangsi was still blowing the string of notes that sounded sad at the moment.He actually only now understands this woman's deep affection for him, and he has never cherished it. Ma Le sends tickets to Chen Yu in Paris for every concert he has a part in performing.On the envelope, it was written to Ms. Chen Yu, a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, Paris.Every time, Ma Le makes a new and different idea on the envelope, hoping to attract the postman's attention and deliver the letter to Chen Yu.Originally, he could ask Weng Xinliang the address of Titi's parents' restaurant, but he promised Hu Xiaodie that he would never mention the matter of Chen Yu to Weng Xinliang, and he also didn't want Weng Xinliang to know his affection for Chen Yu.He didn't want to go to Paris to find her, he didn't want to disturb her life, he would rather wait for her to come back happily.He didn't sell the ten chow chows, he expected their owners to come back. Occasionally he would meet with Weng Xinliang, but he resolutely never visited his home again. "Is there any news about Chen Yu?" Weng Xinliang asked him. "She wrote a letter back." "How are you and Hu Xiaodie?" Ma Le asked Weng Xinliang. "Very good, very calm." Weng Xinliang said with a smile. "Or she is more suitable for you." Acacia in front of the window is blowing that string of annoying notes again. "Time is always tricking people." Weng Xinliang said. "Have you ever read the story of the singer Arion in Greek mythology?" Ma Le asked Weng Xinliang. "No." "You should see it." That afternoon, Weng Xinliang went to the bookstore to buy a copy of "One Hundred Greek and Roman Myths", and found the story about the dolphin saving the singer Arion.Did Ma Le read this story by himself, or did Chen Yu ask Ma Le to tell him to read it?Chen Yu was the dolphin who saved him in distress, but now they broke up. Weng Xinliang called Ma Le that night and asked him, "Is Chen Yu back?" "Maybe she won't come back," Marle said. "So what if she comes back? Do you want to be caught between two women again?" Weng Xinliang was speechless. "There is a concert this weekend night, will you come? One section is my solo." Ma Le said. "Come on, I will definitely come. This is your first solo performance." Weng Xinliang said. "Then I'll send you the tickets." Marle said. "No, I'm afraid the mail will be lost. Let's make an appointment to meet and I'll pick it up." Weng Xinliang said. Weng Xinliang asked Ma Le to have dinner at Stanley Restaurant, which was the first time he had dinner with Titi and Shen Yu. Before going to the appointment that day, he went to Ocean Park to visit Miss Da Zongmei whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Da Zongmei's assistant told him: "It's a coincidence that you came. A dolphin ran aground in Shi'ao today, and Miss Da Zong went there." When he first met Chen Yu and Titi, a dolphin happened to be stranded, and it was already two years ago. Weng Xinliang walked to the Ocean Theatre. Today's performance is over. He went to visit Rick and Triss by the pool.Rick and Triss seemed to recognize him, they moved closer to him and wagged their tails.Triss' stomach was a little swollen, and the trainer told him that Triss was pregnant and that she would be quarantined from tomorrow to prevent other dolphins from hurting her. "Oh." Weng Xinliang responded, he didn't expect such a big change, and the love between Rick and Triss had already blossomed.They used to be the witnesses of his love with Shen Yu. When leaving the park, Weng Xinliang passed the diving pool. He suddenly remembered why he went to the Ocean Theater first and forgot the diving pool on this day?Every time he passed the park, he went to the diving pool first, because Titi's shadow was there.He thought that the woman he loved the most was Titi, but in fact he didn't know Titi well, just because her sudden death made him unable to forget her.But after Chen Yu left, he missed her more and more day by day.He never noticed when she was by his side. That night, he and Ma Le drank a lot of wine. "Don't you need to call Xiaodie and tell her you're with me?" Ma Le said. "She never cared about me." "Then you can go anywhere?" Ma Le said with a smile. "Yes, I can go anywhere, except Paris." Weng Xinliang said with a smile. "Have you ever woke up and found that the person you love is not the one sleeping next to you?" Weng Xinliang asked Ma Le. "I haven't tried courting a prostitute," Marle said. "That's not what I meant." Weng Xinliang laughed, "I know I love her when she no longer sleeps beside me." "Don't you think it's too late?" Ma Le asked Weng Xinliang. Weng Xinliang nodded in frustration. Ma Le handed over two concert tickets to Weng Xinliang: "You and Xiaodie come together." Weng Xinliang took a taxi home alone, and heard the news of a dolphin stranded on the beach of Shek O this morning on the radio news broadcast. He felt that it seemed to be a message from a sinking fish brought to him from afar.Back home, he collapsed drunkenly on the sofa, and Hu Xiaodie took a hot towel to cover his face. "Why are you so drunk?" Hu Xiaodie asked him. Weng Xinliang curled up on the sofa, Hu Xiaodie wiped away the tears on Weng Xinliang's face with a hot towel. Ma Le played Elgar on the balcony, and the two chow chows were his audience. I don't know if Chen Yu in Chinatown in Paris would hear it.He thought, she probably really won't come back.Every concert, her seat is empty, has been half a year. On the evening of the weekend, Ma Le put on his gown and was ready to go out. The audience filed in. Weng Xinliang and Hu Xiaodie came together and sat in the front row.Weng Xinliang caught a cold after getting drunk that day, and coughed continuously for several days.The hall was full, except for one seat in the middle of the first row. Ma Le played to the empty seats, Chen Yu will not come back.His solo was actually only for one person, but that person couldn't hear him. Weng Xinliang held back his cough, his face flushed, but he didn't want to leave the stage during the horse music solo. After the horse music solo, the audience applauded warmly. "Ma Le seems to have improved a lot, and his feelings are very rich!" Hu Xiaodie said to Weng Xinliang. Ma Le's music for one person received applause from the audience. Not long after the ensemble started, Weng Xinliang finally couldn't help coughing twice. "I'll go out for a while." He told Hu Xiaodie. "Are you okay?" Hu Xiaodie asked him. "It doesn't matter." Weng Xinliang walked out of the concert hall, coughing heartily.At the end of the corridor, a woman he knew appeared. "How are you?" Chen Yu asked him. Weng Xinliang kept coughing, he was completely unprepared to see Chen Yu again at this place and at this moment.Standing in front of him, Chen Yu has become thinner and more beautiful, her hair has grown a lot longer than before, her eyes are different from before, the eyes in the past were very lively, but today's eyes are a bit bitter.She was wearing a long black dress and carrying a delicate black leather bag. Where did she come from?Has she been in Hong Kong, or has she just returned from far away Paris? Weng Xinliang coughed so hard that his face flushed and he managed to suppress his coughing. "Are you uncomfortable?" Chen Yu asked him. "Yes. When did you come back?" "I just came back." Chen Yu said. "Long time no see." "Yes, it's been a long time." "How are you? I heard you work in Titi's parents' restaurant." Chen Yu thought of the lonely days in Paris, and the big lizard that the unemployed man put on her bed, and said with a smile: "Life is always going to pass." Weng Xinliang bowed his head and remained silent. At this time, Hu Xiaodie came out from the concert hall, wanting to see if Weng Xinliang was not feeling well, she saw Chen Yu, and also saw Weng Xinliang who hung his head silently.Hu Xiaodie was not as shocked as Weng Xinliang, she never thought that Chen Yu would come back, she was always ready for Chen Yu to come back, she never underestimated the enemy. "Are you okay?" Hu Xiaodie put her hands on Weng Xinliang's back. Weng Xinliang covered his mouth with a handkerchief, trying to hide his absence. "I'll go in first." Chen Yu walked into the concert hall. Hu Xiaodie stood beside Weng Xinliang silently. "Go in." Weng Xinliang said. Seeing Chen Yu standing in the back row of the concert hall waiting to be seated during the break, Ma Le excitedly greeted Chen Yu with his eyes, and Chen Yu waved to him.Weng Xinliang thought that Chen Yu had already flown to Ma Le. Ma Le never thought that Chen Yu would show up at all, since the first concert ticket was sent to her in Paris half a year ago, Ma Le was disappointed every time.When hope was getting slimmer, she actually came back, sat in the seat he had arranged for her, and blessed him with a smile.For the first time, Ma Le felt a passion from the deepest heart in his music, which made him almost forget that he was one of the performers in the orchestra and Shen Yu was one of the audience.He seemed to only see her in the audience. Weng Xinliang sat behind Shen Yu, almost smelling her hair.Her hair had visibly lost the smell of pool sanitizer.He never thought that one day he would look at her from behind with another woman beside him.In the huge concert hall, it seems that there are only three people - him, Chen Yu and Hu Xiaodie - a knot that cannot be untied. After the performance, all the troupe members took a curtain call, and the audience dispersed one after another. In the huge concert hall, there were really only three people left at this moment——Chen Yu, Weng Xinliang, and Hu Xiaodie.Ma Le came out from the backstage and broke the deadlock. "Chen Yu, when did you come back?" "Just arrived, how are you?" Chen Yu said. "Okay, what about you?" Marle said. Chen Yu smiled and nodded. "I thought you couldn't receive the ticket I sent you." "You only write about the Chinese restaurant Chen Yu in Chinatown in Paris. There are many Chinese restaurants in Chinatown!" Chen Yu said. "I don't have your address! How did you get the tickets?" Ma Le was busy talking to Chen Yu, only to realize that he had ignored Weng Xinliang and Hu Xiaodie who were standing all the time.He regretted inviting them, if he knew that Chen Yu would appear, he would never have invited them. "How is it? Was the performance just now brilliant?" "You are the best this time." "Yes, it was the most wonderful time." Ma Le looked at Chen Yu affectionately. Weng Xinliang looked very uncomfortable, and said to Ma Le: "It's getting late, let's go back." "Oh, all right," Marle said. "Goodbye." Weng Xinliang said to Chen Yu. Watching Weng Xinliang and Hu Xiaodie leave together, the sourness in Chen Yu's heart is getting stronger and stronger, she finally can face this reunion with seemingly calmness. "I'm sorry, I thought you wouldn't come, so I invited them—" Marle said. "It doesn't matter." "You haven't told me how you received the tickets I sent you." Ma Le asked Chen Yu. "Chinatown is good because there are many Chinese restaurants, but the postman who delivers the letter is a regular customer of our restaurant." "Then you have been receiving letters from me?" Chen Yu nodded. "Why did you come back now?" Chen Yu said: "This night is your solo performance. Unfortunately, the plane was delayed and I missed it. I'm sorry." Ma Le looked at Chen Yu, he had been waiting for more than a hundred days, and today she came back for him, which meant that she decided to accept his love.He couldn't help himself, hugged Shen Yu tightly and said: "I love you." "Ma Le, I'm sorry—" Chen Yu said shamelessly. Ma Le suddenly realized, and lowered his hands. "Thank you for caring about me, I know you treat me well—" "Needless to say." Ma Le sat down on the chair in frustration. "I did come back for you this time. Besides Titi, you are my best friend, so I don't want to use you to accompany me through the painful years. You should be happy. I finally stood up strong and finally agreed Let's face it, I still love that guy in my heart." Marle bowed his head and remained silent. "Ma Le." Chen Yu sat beside Ma Le: "You will understand me." Ma Le looked at Chen Yu, without saying a word for a long time, he finally understood that he would never get her. "I really don't understand what is good about Weng Xinliang, just because he is more handsome than me?" Ma Le smiled wryly. "Don't ask me." Chen Yu smiled wryly. Ma Le stood up: "Where's your luggage?" "I have no luggage." "So where do you live tonight?" "Go back and live with my parents. I didn't have a good relationship with them before. During my stay in Paris, I realized that only family love will never change. There are benefits to being broken up." "Do you want to visit a group of friends?" Ma Le asked Chen Yu. "Friend? Who is it?" "Did you forget that you have a bunch of dog friends?" "Chow Chow? Didn't you sell them?" "Not yet. Want to see it?" "Okay, let's go now!" 马乐带沈鱼回家，两头松狮扑到他身上，每只有百多磅重量，它们已经不认得沈鱼了。 “哗，已经这么大只了！还有其他呢？” “这里放不下，其他的寄养在宠物店，有几头放在朋友家里。” “马乐，谢谢你。”沈鱼由衷地说。 “你有什么打算？”马乐问。 “如果海洋公园还要我的话，我想回去。” 翁信良和胡小蝶在计程车上一直默不作声。胡小蝶一直垂着头，她看得出，翁信良仍然惦念着沈鱼，当天，她用了诡计把他从沈鱼手上骗回来。她以为翁信良爱的是她，但她终于发现他爱的是沈鱼。 车子到了大厦门口，两个人下车，翁信良拉着胡小蝶的手。胡小蝶感动得流下眼泪，她刚刚失去的安全感又回来了。 沈鱼在岸上发号司令，力克首先跃起，跳过藤圈，随后的四条海豚一一飞跃过去。沈鱼跳到水里，跟力克一同游泳，力克把她背在身上，凌空翻腾，全场观众鼓掌，其他训练员也呆了，他们没见过力克表演过这动作，只有沈鱼见过。那夜，力克背着她，翠丝背着翁信良。 这是今天最后一场表演，观众陆续散去，观众席上，只剩下一个人。那个人从座位上站起来，向沈鱼挥手，他是翁信良。 沈鱼没想到她和他竟然再次在海洋剧场见面。沈鱼跑上梯级，来到翁信良面前。 “马乐告诉我，你在这里上班。” "yes." “你好吗？” “你来这里就想问我这个问题？” “不，有一句话一直想跟你说。” 沈鱼凝望翁信良，她知道不该期望他说什么，但她却希冀他会说一句动人的话，譬如：“我爱你”或“我们从新开始好吗”之类。 "I'm sorry." Weng Xinliang said. 沈鱼咬着牙：“我们这段情，就用'对不起'来做总结？” Weng Xinliang was speechless. “我说不出你有什么好处，缺点却有很多。”沈鱼说。 “我读过海豚救了阿里翁的故事。” 沈鱼苦笑：“给你什么启示？” “我希望你快乐。”翁信良由衷地说。 “谢谢你。”沈鱼说：“我从前以为我们无法一起生活的原因是你太坏，后来我才知道是我太好。” “你还戴着这只手表？”翁信良看到沈鱼戴着他送给她的那只海豚手表。 “是的，这只表防水。” 沈鱼从翁信良身边走过，一直走上梯级，离开剧场，把她爱过的男人留在微风里。她不敢回头望他，泪水从眼眶里涌出来，不能让他看见。她记得翁信良说过，味道总会随风而逝。 (full text)
