Chapter 7 Chapter VII

That night, I made an appointment with Gina for three chapters. "Originally, I should move out, but I don't have any money around me, Zuo Wensi might come to my door. If you reveal that I live here, I will ignore you for the rest of my life." "What are you two doing?" Gina smiled, "Why show his face?" It looked like she wouldn't cooperate, so I had to tell her the truth. "I can't be with Zuo Wensi anymore." "Why? Because he forgot to send you flowers from Europe?" "Jina, are you ready?" I said coldly, "Listen, because his brother-in-law is Teng Haiqi."

Gina froze, then screamed. "Aren't you keeping a secret for me? I've had enough and I don't want to have anything to do with people surnamed Teng, understand?" "Yunna, you are too unlucky!" "Yes, I am indeed that unlucky." My eyes were red. Gina hugged me tightly.My heart was pierced like a knife, like a dumb man eating coptis, unable to express all kinds of suffering. It was not easy for the two of us to fall asleep, but the doorbell rang loudly in the middle of the night. The two of us woke up in a dream, thinking for a while that it was a fire alarm.

Gina was rubbing her eyes, and I thought about it. "If it's Zuo Wensi," I said, "send him, I'll hide in the closet." Gina went out to open the door, and I quickly hid in the closet, squatting in the pile of clothes. "Who?" I heard Gina ask. "Zuo Wensi. Tell Yunna to come out!" "She's not here. She's gone back to New York long ago." "Someone just saw her the day before yesterday, open the door." "Told you she wasn't here." "I do not believe." "It's 4:15 in the middle of the night, what do you want?"

"I know she's here with you, come in and check for me." "Funny, why should I check my home for you?" "Gina, at least we are friends." "You speak too rudely." "Gina, if you don't open the door, I will stand at the door all night." "Okay, I'll let you in and take a look. Wen Si, the more scary you are, the more useless you are. She knew you would come here, and she has already returned to New York." I could hear the door opening and closing. There was about five minutes of silence, and Wen Si obviously couldn't find anyone.

"Do you want coffee?" Gina asked. Vince cried. Not to mention Gina, even I was at a loss in the closet. "You must know where she is." He whimpered. Gina hardened her heart, "Wensi, there is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world." I closed my eyes, tears streaming down my face. He was sitting on the head of the bed by the closet. "She avoids you deliberately, and it's useless for you to find her." "I was fine the day before I left," he asked anxiously, "what happened?" "Wensi, I have to go to work tomorrow." Gina wanted to dismiss him.

"Gina, you must help me." He seemed to hold her back. "How can others help with emotional matters?" Gina asked back. There was a lot of silence again. I have been standing stiff in the closet for a long time, my legs are gradually numb, and I am really afraid that I will fall out of the closet. "Let's go back." Wen Si was silent. "I'm very tired, Vince, you should be sympathetic to my long-term sleep deprivation." Wen Si couldn't sit still any longer, so Gina had to send him out. They chatted and chatted for a long time at the door, and I endured it all the time.

Gina closed the door heavily and went back to the room, "It's all over," she said. My limbs were paralyzed and I couldn't move. She opened the closet, "what's the matter with you?" "Nothing." I whispered and climbed out. "I thought you were dizzy." She yawned. "Thank you." "You're welcome." She sat down, "Since he has such a close relationship with Teng Haiqi, it is wise to alienate him." "You think so too?" I was like meeting a bosom friend. "Of course," Gina said, "there are so many men in the world, I don't believe that everyone is related to Teng. If you get entangled with his family, you can't live a lifetime. Avoid it."

I sighed, "Go to sleep." Let's get into bed again. Gina said: "Wensi treats you with sincerity." I kept silent and closed my eyes tightly, trying to stop the tears from flowing out. "Actually, as long as he pays attention a little bit, he will know that you live here." Gina said, "There are two quilts on the bed." "Perhaps, he thought it was your boyfriend who stayed here." "Screw you!" I cried all night, and all the tears were sucked by the pillow. When I woke up the next day, a large area was wet and heavy. Gina was washing her face, she said: "Don't go out if you have nothing to do, he will definitely come to you again."

"I want to avoid them," I said. "That's not necessary. This island is not their place yet. If necessary, don't hesitate to call the police immediately." She dressed in a hurry, grabbed her coat, and went out. At the management office downstairs, she called, "Don't open the door, there are several suspicious looking cars waiting downstairs." "It's not waiting for me, is it?" "Why don't you see that I'm not waiting for you?" I had to watch the tape at home. Since then, calls came in every half an hour, and I felt very annoyed. Zuo Wensi has no right to disturb my life. If I decide to leave him, I just want to leave. No matter how obsessed he is, it won't work.

In the afternoon, I was really bored, so I picked up the microphone. "I know you're still here," said Zuo Shudong's serious voice, like a detective who caught a prisoner. I said coldly: "Please don't harass me any more." "You have to see Vince." She was very stubborn. "Miss Zuo, I have always regarded you as a friend. I don't want to turn my back on you, and you don't want to force me too much. Why do you have to make me unable to step down? You invade my life, and I can call the police at any time." She was silent, probably knowing that she was going too far.

"I'm not a child, I know what to do and what not to do." By now my tone was very tough. She said, "But morally, you should explain it to Wensi." "I don't like to explain. There's too much moral to do and I'm not interested." "Why do you harden your heart on purpose?" She still wanted to redeem it. "I have something to do, that's it, please don't harass me anymore." The phone finally stopped ringing. I didn't expect that Zuo Shudong, who is usually gentle, can do it so thoroughly when necessary. She is not an easy woman to get along with. Fight fire with fire.I told myself it was the only way. I found Teng Haiqi. He said, "Wensi is back, you should be careful." "I'm fine, but someone must force me to make an appearance, and make up with Zuo Wensi." I said. "Who?" Teng asked, "Your parents?" "Zuo Shudong." "What?" He jumped up. "You discipline Mrs. Disciplinary Order." "She knows you?" For some reason, Teng's voice trembled. It turned out that he was also afraid sometimes. "No, she only knows that I'm Wensi's girlfriend." I said, "But she went too far, sent a private detective to watch me, reported my address to Zuo Wensi, and pestered me all day—what's going on? Why are you so eager for me to leave Wensi, and she is so eager for me to reconcile with Wensi?" "Leave this to me, and you move out immediately." "Moving requires money, Mr. Teng." "I give you." "I don't want your money, you just tell Zuo Shudong not to bother me anymore" "How much does she know?" Teng was even more anxious. "You can ask her, you are her husband." "The best way is, you go back to New York, and I am willing to support you." "I don't need you to dominate me." "Come out, I want to talk to you clearly." "Teng Haiqi, you don't have the right to order me to go east or west, you two are a little bit wrong, do you think I'm still a pawn under your fingers?" I was annoyed, "Don't bother me anymore, this is my only request .” Ji Nuo came back from get off work and asked me what happened. I replied nothing. I am willing to deal with this alone. It's fine if you can go back to New York, but you can't ask Teng Haiqi for help. I really didn't expect that just after breaking free from one net, I threw myself into another net. I sat in front of the TV with my arms folded, unable to watch anything. Gina said, "If you bite your fingers again, all ten fingers will fall off." "Gah?" I asked. "Poor Yunna." "Poor? Many people feel sorry for not enjoying such intricate emotions." I forced a smile. "How's your job performance?" Gina asked again. "I wore two shoes of the same style with different colors to meet the job, one red and one green. When I saw him, would you still invite me?" "Perhaps people think that's the fashion at the moment." "People need accountants, not clowns." I walked to the window and looked downstairs. Although the building is as high as ten floors, the scenery downstairs is still clear. One corner of the sky is dark gray, very depressing. I noticed a man standing on the corner of the street waiting for a bus. After standing there for a long time, empty cars passed by, but he still did not move.It's about waiting for someone, I think, nowadays very few people are willing to stand there and wait for a woman, it takes more than half an hour to wait. "How about going out for a bowl of noodles?" I asked Gina. "You actually have an appetite?" "Yes, drowning worries in food is the best way." "So what are you waiting for, please." When we came downstairs, just as we were about to cross the road, Gina let out a low cry, pulled me tight, and pointed with her finger. I followed the direction of her finger and saw Vince leaning on the corner of the street. From our perspective, he was wearing gray pants and a gray coat. I realized that it was the man I saw from upstairs. He didn't know how long he had been standing here. Gina wanted to go up to her, but I held her back, "Don't pay attention to him." "Yunna—" "Don't worry, he may not stand here forever," I said, "I don't think he will just take root here." "You want to bet?" Gina asked, "Don't be so heartless, I'll talk to him." She gave me the boss's eyes. "No!" I panicked. "Strange, I love to talk to him, it's my business." She went over to herself. I kick my feet. Women are like this, as long as a man brings a bouquet of flowers and waits for a while, he will immediately soften his heart and ruin a big deal.It's not her who is waiting now, what do you want her to do? I stood in a corner and waited for Gina to come back, deliberately not looking at the two of them. Fortunately, five minutes later, Gina came back. I raised my hand and called for a car. "Where are you going?" the driver asked. I said, "Downtown." I completely forgot why I came out. "He said he would stand there until you spoke to him," Gina said. I said: "The road is not mine, he can stand as long as he likes." "Are you so hard-hearted?" Gina scolded me. "You don't approve of my separation from him." "But he's innocent. You can at least be friends." "Being friends?" I sneered, "Really? Can you really be so generous? Do you think you can?" Gina sighed, "You are so cruel, you want him to wait forever?" "I haven't made any similar requests." I put on a straight face. "What if he's still standing when we go back?" "The road is not mine, I can't control it." "Yunna, in fact, your heart is cut like a knife, isn't it?" "Keep your mouth shut, okay?" Gina resentfully remained silent. I was so annoyed that I vomited blood, what else would I eat?Simply eat without knowing its taste. That day, the two of us deliberately went around in the busy city to escape reality. The weather was bad and started to drizzle.Gina glanced at me, but I pretended not to see it.Wen Si would not be so stupid, he would naturally find a place to shelter from the rain. We were exhausted from walking, and Gina muttered that not only her feet were bad, but her shoes were also soaked. But when we got home, we saw Zuo Wensi standing under the streetlight without moving. I almost screamed. Gina immediately left me and walked to Zuo Wensi. I went upstairs desperately.The heart kept beating as if it was about to jump out of the mouth.It's terrible, how could Wensi be like this. Gina followed and scolded me severely, and I sat silently, a sinner. Not long after, she looked out the window and said, "Okay, Xiao Yang is here." I couldn't help but also opened the curtains. Sure enough, I saw two people standing on the corner of the street, one was Xiao Yang.Gina muttered to herself: "It's so great, how can I stand for so long without getting tired? The power of love is incredible." I don't know if more people will come to accompany Zuo Wenen after a while, maybe they will set up tents, live together on the corner of the street, burn food, listen to music, and develop into a small town from then on. Vince is so stupid, but I can't think of any way to make him go away. Maybe Teng Haiqi could come and pick him up. Maybe the police will tell him to leave. Xiao Yang came up and asked Ji Na to borrow a warmer dress. I heard him say to Gina, "He won't leave unless Yunna tells him to come up." "Then you go ask him to come up and have him a cup of hot coffee." "He won't." "I'll fill you a cup for him." Gina said. I knew that if I softened at this time, all my previous efforts would be wasted, so I stayed silent and fixed my eyes on a book of poems. "No need, I think he will fall down if he survives tonight." Xiao Yang said angrily, I know he would like to shoot me with flying arrows. "Tell him to go." Gina said, "I don't believe he is made of iron. How long will he stand like this? Yunna won't soften, I know her too well." "Yunna, tell me clearly so that I can make him give up!" He came over and grabbed my arm.I shook him off with one hand, "Tell him to give up." "If you die, let him be a fool." Xiao Yang was furious. "How can such a simple matter be made so complicated by you? This is a dispute between me and him, please don't mind your own business, okay?" I yelled, "Get out, get out!" My voice Trembling, tears gurgling down.Xiao Yang forced me, "Why do you want to make Wensi suffer, and you suffer too?" I wiped my tears with my hands, and carried them behind my back for a long time, then turned my head, and said, "I'm going out to live." "Yunna, forget it, please forgive yourself." Gina said, "Outsiders don't understand, but I understand. You can tell Wen Si to let him die." "No." I went back to my room. "You unreasonable woman." Xiao Yang left angrily. I was lying on the bed, my temples were burning, my whole body felt like I was in a fire, my lips were parched and my tongue was dry, and my heart was indescribably painful. After a long time, Gina said, "He's still there." I don't answer. Gina said again, "It's raining." I don't ring. "It's raining heavily." Gina emphasized, "He's a drowned chicken, and I'm afraid he'll get pneumonia." I couldn't help it, "Huo" stood up, grabbed an umbrella, and rushed downstairs. He was sure I would go down to see him. Gina was right, it was raining heavily, and Wen Si was still standing there, his thin shadow like a ghost. I didn't speak to him, but I hailed a taxi and asked the driver to drive to my parents' house. I don't want to watch. Out of sight is pure. Otherwise, he is not sick, but I am really sick.I don't believe he will find this place, I must endure this period of time. Vince did not.Teng Haiqi found me. He gritted his teeth and scolded me: "Do you know how to fall into Gu or something? It made Zuo Wensi like this, he has been sick until now!" I immediately put down the phone. The whole world regards me as a sinner.I don't know where to inspire a burst of courage, I feel that this is the time to meet Zuo Wensi. Both of us were tortured badly, and I thought I'd have a showdown with him, and he'd have to let him know why, if he was going to be a fool. I made up my mind on the road, clenched my fists and rushed forward, feeling hot in my heart. This familiar path, this old house, I try to climb the stairs step by step, he lives on the third floor, I know. I reached out to ring the bell, and was stunned again. Tell him about my past?I hesitate. I squatted at his door for a long, long time without moving. A maid came out and was startled when she saw me, "You, who are you?" I covered my face miserably and did not answer. who am iI am a fallen man. "Hurry up, hurry up, or I will call the police." She thought I was a beggar and a tramp. What a comeuppance. "I'm going, I'm going." I stood up. The maid didn't expect me to be so tall and haggard, so she screamed and fled back into the house. I stood there blankly for a while, feeling scared too. How did I get here?I promised Teng Haiqi to leave Wensi, if I break my promise, he will kill me, I promise he will. I was blown by the cold wind and woke up. I turn around and leave. "Yunna." It was Wensi's voice.I froze and turned my head slowly. "Yunna, is this really you?" He asked, "Is this really you?" He held my shoulders and turned me around, "Are you coming to see me?" I had a face-to-face meeting with him and was startled, this is Wensi?With his sunken cheeks, red eyes, long hair, and gray face, I could barely recognize him. "My God," he said, "Yunna, you've turned into a skeleton, why are you so thin and yellow?" His voice was hoarse. I stared blankly at him, and he stared at me. "Come in, Yunna, come in." I shook my head, freeing himself from his hand. "What's your secret? You might as well tell me in detail." I still shake my head. "I'm leaving." My voice was also dry, and my throat seemed to be filled with sand. "This is my key here, you are welcome to come anytime." I shook my head, dropped my hand, and the door key fell to the ground. "Yunna—" he approached. "You make me think again," I said. "I'm going to think again." He picked up the key, "I put the key under this door felt, you can come anytime." "It's too dangerous." I said, "Don't leave the key anywhere." "It's okay, I don't have anything at home." Wensi smiled bitterly and said, "Remember, Yunna, this door will always be open for you." I laughed miserably and ran downstairs. Wen Si did not catch up.He just watched me from the terrace.Not only did he like me, but he tolerated me, and he knew not to rush me. I found out Zuo Shudong's business card, made an appointment with her, and asked to see her. I need her opinion. She was surprised to see me. "Yunna, is this you? Where did you put the other half of your weight?" I drank coffee and shrank a little. I used to wear this coat enough, but now I still feel cold, probably because I have lost too much weight. She said: "There are two kinds of people who lose weight the fastest, if God helps. The first is cancer patients, and the second is those who are frustrated in love." I murmured, "Do you think there is still hope for Wen Si and I?" Zuo Shudong held my hand tightly, "Of course, he has been waiting for you." "I have my reasons." I said. "Why don't you speak up and discuss it with everyone?" "I am not a pure person." I said regretfully. "You won't be dirtier than anyone else," Zuo Shudong was surprised, "What's wrong with you? You don't look like such a blind person." "I owe people a lot of money and a lot of favors." "If necessary, pay off the debt, if not necessary, repay the debt, I can help you, who do you owe?" "A terrible man," I said tremblingly. She kept holding my hand and keeping it warm. "Who is he?" Zuo Shudong asked, "I don't believe that he is superhuman." I don't ring. "Does he owe you, or do you owe him? There is only a thin line between them. Many people who owe others think they owe him, and many people think that they owe a large debt for no reason and have to pay it back. Have you figured it out? ?” "Will you help me?" I asked her. "I will do everything I can to help Wensi, so I must help you too." "Why?" I asked. She stared at me, and said after a while: "Very well, under such circumstances, you still doubt my motives." "Sorry, I have to be careful," I said. "You have nothing, Yunna, why are you still suspicious?" Zuo Shudong mocked me. I smiled and said, "No, I'm still young, I have time, and I'm not as desperate as you think." She nodded after a while, "Okay, very good, you are very strong, what Wensi needs is someone like you." "So, why do you help me? What good does it do for you that I'm with Wensi?" She thought for a while and replied, "I love my brother, and seeing him happy makes me happy, and he's fine with you, so I'm going to help you. Believe it or not." "I believe you love Vince." "Is that enough?" I nod. "Would you like to see Wensi?" "I'm still conflicted." Zuo Shudong sighed, "At best, it's just that you had a man before, why bother to be so aggressive?" I was very pale, "You are just too open-minded." "Didn't you say you had plenty of time?" I folded my hands on my chest, "Yes, this is my only property." "Let me tell Vince that you would like to see him." She asked me to agree. "Okay, please say I'm thinking about it." "Both of you are like the remaining prisoners in the Nazi concentration camp at this moment, with skin and bones, eyes deep in emptiness and despair." prisoner of love. Father kept asking Wensi why he didn't come to the house anymore. My mother told me: "Gina will bring her boyfriend up today." "Her? Boyfriend?" I was stunned. "Yes," the mother said, "didn't think of it, did you? Speaking of marriage. Her mother doesn't like this boy very much and thinks he is poor, but she doesn't want Gina to waste any more time, so—" "Are you a good character?" I asked. "About Gina's age, a very simple boy with only one older sister. He works as a nurse in a public hospital. He is a native university student himself." "Gina didn't mention this to me directly. She said it indirectly." "Gina's heart is high, I'm afraid she feels a little bit ashamed." "That's wrong. If you're not proud of a person, you can't be with him." "I'm afraid she's got over that, or she wouldn't have brought him to supper." "I want to see this boy, did she say that I'm not allowed to be there?" "No way," Mom said, "You'd better call Vincent over here too." I am silent. "If you like him, it doesn't matter whose relative he is. Everyone can see that you are no longer human." "Mom one by one" "You have nothing to do with Teng Haiqi. You can confess the matter to him. I believe he is not such a stingy person. Such things are rare now." I still didn't make a sound, and after a while I asked, "What kind of food should we invite Gina?" "What kind of food can I make? It's just the most common ones." The mother said, "I really want to see her boyfriend." Gina arrived at four or five o'clock.Very polite, holding a lot of sweets and snacks. It could be seen that it was her idea, because her boyfriend was the most honest. He looks so ordinary, a steady person with ordinary facial features, medium build, and no personality at all. The only obvious redeeming feature is his cleanliness. There are thousands and hundreds of such a person anywhere.I guess he is a teacher, Gina revealed that he is a civil servant, very similar. His surname is Zhang and his name is Jianzhong. It's wonderful, people are like their surnames, hundreds of millions of Chinese people are all surnamed Zhang, he will not be lonely. When I sat down to eat, I realized why Ji Na had to commit herself to Ah Zhang. He puts her first in everything, not only respects her, he regards her as a wall.When she wanted to sit, he would pull out the chair, pick up vegetables for her, pour tea for her, fetch toothpicks for her, and Ah Zhang did these trivial things very naturally.His hospitality is not sensual, and he shows concern everywhere. I suddenly felt that Gina's vision was extremely wonderful. Really, when a person grows up, he must be so practical. Why is it just for the sake of the scenery, seeing people laughing and worrying about others, the most important thing for a husband is to be good to his wife, it doesn't matter if he can't trust his life, modern women have already planned their own life, and don't need to pretend to be someone else.Ah Zhang loves Ji Na deeply, that's enough. This epiphany made me really happy for Gina, she noticed it immediately with a look on her face. After the meal, she pulled me aside and said gratefully, "You don't hate him?" "You're lucky, Gina, he's a decent man." "But like wood!" "He is a piece of wood that loves you." I laughed. She also laughed, "We're almost there." "Congratulations," I paused, "Is he the one you told me about last time?" "Ok." "You will grow old together." I predicted. "But my childhood ideal——" Gina laughed, "a male companion should be tall, handsome, and graceful, with a passion that is dark and windy, and passionately kissing under the bright sun..." I glanced at her, "Didn't you try everything? You should be glad you didn't marry such a big lover, otherwise you would wear a long purple cloak and kiss all day long, and your lips would burst." Gina laughed till she burst into tears. Ah Zhang asked in surprise, "What are you laughing at?" I spread my hands, "Your girlfriend can laugh for fifteen minutes at the sound of a sneeze." Zhang also laughed. "Do you understand now? It's Yunna's mouth that's bothering me." I asked, "Do you feel honored to marry the beautiful Gina?" Ah Zhang shyly replied: "My lifelong wish is to marry Gina and treat her well." There seemed to be a holy radiance on his face. "Great," I patted her arm, "I think my mother would like me to marry someone like that." "But Aunt Yu doesn't like me." The honest man also sued. "How did you meet?" Gina had a look of displeasure, and she said: "After hearing this, my mother sneered, and said: 'Talk to your wife with strength, not with words.'" Hey, Gina also makes sense. "I will work hard," Ah Zhang said confidently, "I will not disappoint her." I said, "You don't have to rush to satisfy her." I pointed at Gina, "The most important thing for you is to satisfy her." Gina suddenly asked, "What about you?" I changed my color and said, "Don't pull me in." "I'll tell Zhang everything about you. He sympathizes with you very much." I immediately became sullen, "Are you finished? I think you are about to sing this story, or publicize it in the form of storytelling." "Yunna, we are all on our own." I brushed her hand away, what right does she have to disclose my private life to the public. That's when I discovered Zhang's second good thing: his composure.He hastened to protect Gina, "Yunna, you really belong to me, besides, three cobblers are worth a Zhuge Liang. If you plan together, there must be a way, right?" His visit to Buddha is the embodiment of justice, so sincere, so enthusiastic, I was moved again, so I had to keep silent. "Zuo Wensi takes care of Zuo Wensi," he said, "Why give up a worthy person for an unworthy person, the worst is to pay back the debt, what are you worried about?" I am stunned. Gina hit the snake with the stick, "Look at how thin you are, let me tell Zhang, you used to be quite a beautiful person." I laughed and cried, "You should go too." Gina said: "You drove us away for no reason. Why don't you go out to have a cup of coffee together and call Wen Si out?" "How can I call him?" "I'll do it." Gina was ready to move. I held her down, "Don't be crazy." Zhang glanced at Gina, "Then let's go out and relax." He said to me. "I will not go." "If you don't go, you have to go." Gina came to pull me. "Don't hate it." "Hmph, I love you only to be willing to do this. Otherwise, whoever is impatient to annoy you will care if you rot into a puddle of thick blood." After hearing this, I felt that it made sense, so I put on my coat and went out with them. The three sat in the coffee room for a long time. Although the two of them didn't kiss each other face to face, the corners of their brows and eyes were like glue. In my eyes, I was happy, but I couldn't help feeling something. When we were kids we all liked gigolo guys. The most important thing is to be beautiful, even long eyelashes are counted, the second is to know how to play, you must be good at driving, swimming and dancing, and then you must be able to talk and coax people comfortably. I'm afraid Ah Zhang failed one of them, but he is better than all the men I have ever seen. Evans is also good, I think of him.No matter what the situation is, he is still gentle. Drinking wine, my heart warmed up and my nerves became more relaxed. As a result, they said they were tired and sent me home, put me at the door, and then drove away in a small car.
