Chapter 20 "Love is gone" Chapter 20

A week later, when he was about to leave work in the evening, Tan Xiangming came to the gallery.He took out two plastic bags containing two dog hairs respectively, and took out an identification card, and handed it to Dong Xiaohan at the same time.His expression was more serious than last time, and Dong Xiaohan had almost guessed the result from his expression. "The two dog hairs come from the same dog's body. This is the result obtained by hair experts through the most authoritative scientific method." Tan Xiangming said, looking at Dong Xiaohan.At this moment, Dong Xiaohan stared at the list, his face turned pale in an instant.Dong Xiaohan didn't believe it:

"So, the dog hair found in the car is the hair of Qiao Yu's puppy?" Tan Xiangming said without doubt, "There is no doubt about it." Dong Xiaohan tried his best to restrain himself, but still shouted: "No! This can't be true!" Tan Xiangming said: "Why can't it be true? You can't believe in science?" "Science?" Dong Xiaohan looked at the identification sheet again, suddenly screamed in pain like crazy, and ran out of the gallery. She ran wildly on the main road, and ran to the beach in one breath, threw off her shoes, stepped on the sand with bare feet, and turned around without thinking.At this moment, her brain is in extreme confusion, it can also be said to be blank.For several days, she had been hoping that this was a misunderstanding, but she couldn't get rid of the strange feeling in her heart.Now, that weird feeling has been scientifically confirmed.

Thinking back carefully, Dong Xiaohan only visited Qiao Yu's small house twice.The first time was when the house had just been renovated, and Qiao Yu took Dong Xiaohan to visit. At that time, Qiao Yu didn't have a puppy yet.The second time was a week ago when Dong Xiaohan went to "get" the dog hair.That is to say, the person who brought this dog hair into Lu Xiaokun's car was not Dong Xiaohan. Qiao Yu said with certainty that day that she had never taken Lu Xiaokun's car, and Lu Xiaokun had never been to her new home.And her puppy was taken home from the dog market when she got a new home after marriage, and she never took the puppy back to her father's house.In this way, the other two possibilities can be ruled out. The first one is that the dog hair was not brought in by Qiao Yu.The second type is that although Lu Xiaokun often goes to Qiao Daoheng's house, the puppy has never been there, that is to say, Lu Xiaokun did not bring the dog's hair in by himself.

Who would bring it in?Su Jing?is it possible?Su Jing and Lu Xiaokun have never had any contact.Is it Qiao Yu's father, Qiao Daoheng?Qiao Daoheng was never interested in small animals. Even when he was at Qiao Yu's house, he would never touch the puppy. Moreover, Qiao Daoheng had his own car, so it was unlikely that he would take Lu Xiaokun's car. So, who brought the dog hair in? That smooth jade face, dark almond eyes, charming smile... In Dong Xiaohan's heart, Qiao Yu, who was once so clear, suddenly became blurred.The sea breeze came in waves, blowing the sadness in her heart, stirring up the confusion in her heart, sorting out the messy thoughts... The past like smoke, all the details of getting along with Qiao Yu, piece by piece, piece by piece , bit by bit, all emerge in front of you.

Dong Xiaohan met Lu Xiaokun at Qiao Yu's home.Lu Xiaokun has always been appreciated by Qiao Daoheng, otherwise, how could he be the guest of honor at Qiao Daoheng's family?How could he step up to the next level step by step under Qiao Daoheng's promotion?However, when Dong Xiaohan disclosed her relationship with Lu Xiaokun to Qiao Yu, Qiao Yu did not support it.Qiao Yu said, you are not suitable for him, he is too scheming. Father and daughter, one appreciates Lu Xiaokun, and the other thinks that Lu Xiaokun is too scheming.Why is this so?Without Qiao Yu, I would not have known Chen Feng.After Lu Xiaokun's accident, Qiao Yu even hinted in front of her that Chen Feng might have done it.

And even if Chen Feng did this, it was because he loved you.Why did Qiao Yu think that Chen Feng did it?Qiao Yu also said that Chen Feng's family has a gangster background.She also said that Chen Feng is a philandering playboy.Why, in Chen Ying's eyes, Chen Feng, who is pure and pure, is different in Qiao Yu's eyes?Also, Qiao Yu got millions of dollars from Chen Feng in the name of Dong Xiaohan, Dong Xiaohan asked her to return it, but she donated the money to AIDS orphans on her own initiative... Why did she do this?She is behaving so strangely! If this series of strange words and deeds used to make Dong Xiaohan feel a little bit puzzled and would not cause doubts, but now they have become huge and sharp question marks, hitting Dong Xiaohan's fragile nerves, making her I racked my brains and couldn't think of a reason.

The sound of the tide was rushing, and the white waves crashed into the reef again and again, smashing into foam again and again.The sky darkened, the sea breeze became colder, and the tears on Dong Xiaohan's face also became colder... A piece of clothing was gently draped over her body.Dong Xiaohan turned around and saw Tan Xiangming standing in front of her, his clear eyes were full of concern for her.He looked at her painful face and said, "Either way, Qiao Yu lied to you." Dong Xiaohan was at a loss: "Lying? She has been in Lu Xiaokun's car, but she lied that she hadn't?" Tan Xiangming nodded "Yes." Dong Xiaohan asked: "Why? Why did she lie?" Tan Xiangming said: "So, this is a strange thing, which is inexplicable."

Dong Xiaohan burst into tears: "I have to ask her, why is this happening? I want her to explain to me! Why is all this?" Tan Xiangming said: "You can't ask her directly, there must be something wrong with it." Dong Xiaohan asked, "What's the problem?" Tan Xiangming said, "Could it be that Lu Xiaokun had an affair with Qiao Yu a long time ago?" Dong Xiaohan shook his head: "I don't know, he never said it, and Qiao Yu never said it." Tan Xiangming said, "How can this kind of thing be said?" Dong Xiaohan said, "I've never felt it before." Tan Xiangming said : "Maybe it's more hidden." Dong Xiaohan thought for a while, and said with certainty: "No! I first met Qiao Yu at school, and then I met Lu Xiaokun at her home. If there is something going on between them, I won't feel it. Not." Tan Xiangming said: "You can't feel it, that's because you don't love him." Dong Xiaohan said: "If I didn't love him back then, I wouldn't have married him." Tan Xiangming said: "That's not love. You My love started with Chen Feng." Dong Xiaohan burst into tears suddenly, and shouted: "Don't mention Chen Feng anymore, I can't take it anymore!"

Tan Xiangming stared blankly at her face. After a long time, he said sorry, sat down on the nearby rock, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. Dong Xiaohan ran away from the beach.The men's clothes draped over her shoulders fell to the ground, but she didn't notice.Tan Xiangming stared at her back which was getting further and further away, with an indescribably complex expression on his face.After smoking a cigarette, Tan Xiangming stood up, picked up his clothes from the beach, and strode away. That night, Dong Xiaohan was tossing and turning in bed when the phone rang.Tan Xiangming's low voice came from the phone: "Xiaohan, you have to do one thing now, talk to the police about the dog hair problem immediately." Dong Xiaohan asked: "Send the two dog hairs and the identification results to the person in charge of the case." In the hands of the police?" Tan Xiangming said decisively: "Yes!" Dong Xiaohan asked: "The person in charge of this case is Su Jing, Qiao Yu's husband." Tan Xiangming asked: "Does he have no collaborators?" Dong Xiaohan said: "Yes, they Squadron leader An Li." Tan Xiangming said: "Go to An Li." Dong Xiaohan flatly denied without thinking: "No." Tan Xiangming asked: "Why?"

Dong Xiaohan said: "The police may not believe what I say. An Li and the others always thought I was a bad person, and they might even think that I was framing others. Besides, Qiao Yu and I are so good. If there is nothing I can't talk about, I'd better ask her to be honest. Talk to her carefully, and ask her to understand." Tan Xiangming immediately stopped when he heard the words: "You must not! You can't ask her directly. I understand the relationship between you and Qiao Yu, but now is not the time to be emotional. Don't be impulsive, listen to me That's right, you go to bed first, I will come to see you tomorrow."

Dong Xiaohan stayed up all night.Qiao Yu's beautiful and kind face, like a pair of scissors, cut Dong Xiaohan's sleep to pieces. She kept waking up from her dreams and suffered unprecedented torture and suffering. The next day, it happened to be Dong Xiaohan's rest day, and she was going to find Qiao Yu, but Tan Xiangming knocked on the door early in the morning.He offered to re-examine the two dog hairs.Without further ado, Dong Xiaohan took out two small plastic bags.Tan Xiangming took the opportunity to replace it with two other pouches containing the same dog hair.Afterwards, he repeatedly warned her not to tell Qiao Yu about this matter, and wait for him to come up with a perfect plan before making a fuss about it. Dong Xiaohan temporarily refrained from questioning Qiao Yu.She stood in front of the window, holding the exquisite crystal lamb, kept raising it to her eyes, staring at it for a long time, her eyes full of confusion. In a quiet tea room, Tan Xiangming saw An Li who came in a hurry. "I called you." He said straight to the point.An Li glanced at him: "Who are you from Dong Xiaohan? Is there any important information to provide? Why doesn't Dong Xiaohan come by himself?" Tan Xiangming stated the matter again. After listening, An Li looked at the two plastic bags containing dog hair and a piece of professional appraisal, with clear thinking and sharp eyes, she questioned: "A dog hair, what does this mean?" Tan Xiangming said: "It doesn't mean anything. .But when in doubt, make it clear, isn't that the principle of your work? A very strange thing, don't you think?" An Li returned to the bureau and called Su Jing.After listening to Su Jing finished talking about the work at hand, An Li casually chatted with Su Jing: "Lisheng Company is going to auction that murderous car, do you know about it?" Su Jing shook his head: "I don't know, where did you know that? What?" An Li smiled and said, "How about it, let's make an application, ask the bureau to approve some money, and take a photo of it? I heard that the car is good, like new." Su Jing said: "Everyone knows and avoids it, so you don't shy away from it?" An Li said: "Who are we? What are we afraid of? Su Jing smiled and shook her head: "It's too much to ask the bureau to approve the money to buy a car." An Li said: "I don't think the price will be too expensive. It would be a pity not to buy it. Hey, have you ever sat in that car?" Su Jing asked back: "Have I ever sat down?"How could I ride in that person's car? An Li said: "That person is a frequent visitor to your father-in-law's house, I thought you had taken his car, and I want to talk to you about how I feel." Su Jing said: "How do you feel?"I have never had any contact with that person, and my relationship with my father-in-law is very ordinary. Except for Chinese New Year, I rarely go there.People look down on us. " An Li smiled: "This is also a kind of pressure, how about you make progress. But it's okay, as long as your wife treats you well, you will have everything. Hey, does your father-in-law often visit you at your house?" Su Jingyao Shaking his head: "I went there once. On the night of my wedding with Qiao Yu, after seeing off the guests in the hotel, he went back with us and sat for a while, less than half an hour." An Li asked: "I haven't been there since. " Su Jing said: "He is too busy, how can he have time to visit us? Later, we went to see him. However, I am also busy with work, and Qiao Yu goes there a lot. I go back every three days, so don't worry about daddy being alone. .” At this time, the phone on the desk rang, An Li went to answer the phone, and Su Jing left.After answering the call, An Li closed the door, took out two plastic bags containing dog fur from the safe, placed them on the desk, and fell into deep thought. When Tan Xiangming met An Li again, An Li told him, "Now there is only one possibility, that is, Qiao Yu brought the puppy to his father's house, and Lu Xiaokun went to Qiao's house as a guest. In the car. The situation is reasonable and nothing surprising." Tan Xiangming felt that although it was a coincidence and a little far-fetched, it was not unreasonable.He asked An Li: "So, this dog hair has nothing to do with Lu Xiaokun's death?" An Li said: "It doesn't necessarily have anything to do. Sometimes investigating a case requires rich associations, and sometimes it doesn't. Imagining too much is a bad thing." "I hope I think too much." Tan Xiangming smiled self-deprecatingly, and left. Under Tan Xiangming's suggestion, Dong Xiaohan decided to return to Lu's house and re-examine Lu Xiaokun's belongings.It coincides with April 1st, which is an unforgettable day.In the blink of an eye, it has been a year since Lu Xiaokun passed away.In the early morning, with dew still hanging on the blades of grass, Dong Xiaohan had already arrived at the cemetery.She placed a bouquet of lilies in front of the tombstone, squatted down, and gently stroked the stone with her fingers.The dust that had accumulated on the stele for a year stuck to her fingers layer by layer, and after a while, both hands turned black. Xiao Kun, this sinner came to see you again, if you can forgive her, then tell her, who hurt you?Can you entrust her with a dream?Have a good dream, don't keep entrusting that kind of nightmare!Dong Xiaohan looked at the stele silently, with waves of sadness welling up in his heart. A group of people came from a distance.When he got closer, he stopped behind Dong Xiaohan.Only a thin female voice reprimanded: "Stop acting, my brother doesn't welcome you." Dong Xiaohan turned around and saw Lu Xiaojian, and a girl who looked like a nanny supporting Lu's father.It was Lu Xiaojian who scolded her.Father Lu didn't say a word, but turned his head away, unwilling to look at Dong Xiaohan.Under Lu Xiaojian's gaze, Dong Xiaohan lowered his head.She stood up and stepped back silently.Lu Xiaojian stepped forward, pushed Dong Xiaohan's lily aside, and placed the items he brought in in front of the monument one by one.There are flowers and a lot of food, all of which Lu Xiaokun loved to eat during his lifetime.Father Lu sat down in front of the monument and stared blankly at the tombstone. Suddenly, the old man burst into tears and cried loudly. The old man's incomparably desolate cry suddenly exploded in the quiet cemetery, like ten thousand steel needles piercing Dong Xiaohan's heart.Dong Xiaohan stepped forward to pick up the lily she brought, and hugged it in her arms silently.A few petals were stained. Dong Xiaohan took out a tissue from her pocket and wiped it carefully, but no matter how carefully she wiped it, the petals could never return to their original white and flawless color. When Lu Xiaojian and his group were leaving, Lu's father passed by Dong Xiaohan, stepped on a stone accidentally, and staggered, Dong Xiaohan hurriedly reached out to support the old man, Lu Xiaojian stepped forward and pushed Dong Xiaohan away, holding his father gone.Watching them walk away, Dong Xiaohan carefully placed the lily in front of Lu Xiaokun's tombstone. Lu Xiaojian accompanied his father back home, An Dun took the medicine and food for his father, and helped him back to his room to rest.Then the doorbell rang.The girl who looked like a nanny ran over and opened the door, and Dong Xiaohan stood at the door. Dong Xiaohan said in a pleading tone: "Let me in, please?" The girl ignored her, blocking the door with her hands as if an enemy was approaching, and hurriedly turned her head and shouted into the room: "Miss Xiaojian, come quickly!" Lu Xiaojian When he came out of the house and saw Dong Xiaohan, he immediately widened his eyes: "What are you doing here?" Dong Xiaohan begged: "Xiao Jian, let me in, I have something to tell you." Lu Xiaojian reprimanded: "We tolerate you getting away with it. It’s enough for you, what do you want to do? Come in? You still have the face to enter this door? Go! Don’t let us see you again!” "I've got something to go in, let me in!" Dong Xiaohan said without hesitation, and squeezed sideways into the door.Lu Xiaojian didn't agree, grabbed her by the collar and pushed it out hard.Dong Xiaohan let Lu Xiaojian push and push him, and grabbed the door frame with both hands desperately, as if he had to enter.Lu Xiaojian was completely irritated by her appearance. Lu Xiaojian raised his hand and slapped Dong Xiaohan's face involuntarily. Blood flowed from the corner of Dong Xiaohan's mouth.Her face turned from white to red, from red to purple, but she never said a word, neither fought back nor dodged.She just grabbed the door frame tightly, her feet nailed to the ground, blood and tears mixed on her face, and she let Lu Xiaojian go crazy and violent to her. Lu Xiaojian started to fight, and the hatred and anger that had been suppressed for a year were all vented at this time. Her spirit and body were in a state of madness, and she couldn't stop herself.While beating Dong Xiaohan crazily, she yelled heartbreakingly: "You pay back my brother! You pay my brother back!" Her mournful cry made Dong Xiaohan extremely painful, and also numb the pain on his face. Can't feel it anymore. Suddenly, the neighbors upstairs and downstairs heard the sound, and a group of people surrounded them. Someone stepped forward to pull Lu Xiaojian away, and someone advised Dong Xiaohan to leave quickly.The nanny came to Lu's father in a panic, and the angry Lu Xiaojian stopped.Father Lu was irritated by this situation, the old man trembled all over, pointed at Dong Xiaohan and said in a trembling voice: "You...you...what are you doing back here..." Dong Xiaohan seemed not to hear Father Lu's words, she rushed hoarsely Lu Xiaojian shouted: "You beat me to death, I don't want to live anymore...I've had enough!" Lu Xiaojian cried and screamed: "If you want to die, jump off the roof of the building, don't Come and disgust us!" Father Lu pointed at them with a trembling finger and said, "Do evil! Do you think my old bones are still breathing? Don't you think it's not shameful enough to show yourself?" .Lu Xiaojian slammed the door behind him. Dong Xiaohan wiped away tears and walked into the former bedroom.The furnishings in the room have basically remained the same, but there is no trace of the clothes and items she left here, and all her personal things.Everything about Lu Xiaokun is still there, no matter the clothes and ties in the closet, or the various small objects he is used to putting in the drawers, they are all exactly the same as he was in his lifetime.Dong Xiaohan was moved by the scene and burst into tears. Dong Xiaohan began to rummage through boxes and cabinets, carefully examining all of Lu Xiaokun's belongings.She smashed out all the things in the cabinet and suitcase, and spread them all over the floor. She knelt and lay on her stomach, trying to find something of value from a pile of items. Lu Xiaojian rushed in, and seeing the mess in the room, another burst of anger rushed into her heart, and she asked her what she was looking for.Dong Xiaohan ignored it.Lu Xiaojian grabbed a medicine bottle and threw it at her, and Dong Xiaohan didn't dodge it. Fortunately, it was a plastic bottle, which hit her on the head and fell to the ground, so she didn't get hurt.But she was barely conscious and continued rummaging for what she needed.She hoped to find something like a diary or a computer floppy disk in a relatively hidden place, such as in a coat pocket or in the middle of a suitcase, but she found nothing.Dong Xiaohan got up from the ground, his face was dazed, his legs were so numb that he couldn't stand upright.But she still stumbled out of the bedroom, she didn't care about Lu Xiaojian's insults and beatings, and finally insisted on rushing into Lu Xiaokun's study. She first turned on the computer and checked all the files stored on the computer hard disk, but found nothing of value.She opened the bookcase again and looked at Lu Xiaokun's books one by one.Lu Xiaojian kept yelling and cursing, asking her what she was going to do.Dong Xiaohan turned a deaf ear.Lu Xiaojian rushed forward, trying to drag Dong Xiaohan away from the bookcase.Dong Xiaohan struggled hard and would rather die than leave.In the end, Lu Xiaojian had no choice but to throw a stack of books on Dong Xiaohan's face, and ran out crying. The only harvest of the day was that Dong Xiaohan found a handwritten address book from the bottom drawer of the bookcase.It belongs to Lu Xiaokun.Judging from the paper, the address book is very old. Before Lu Xiaokun was alive, this thing had been replaced by Business Express.But at this moment, Dong Xiaohan flipped through this address book, as if flipping through a treasure.Suddenly, a familiar name jumped into her eyes: Yuan Peng! Behind the word Yuan Peng, there is a string of addresses.An address in a county, a town, a township.Dong Xiaohan burst into excitement, she There is no doubt that this is the Professor Yuan Peng she was looking for after breaking through the iron shoes.Just as Dong Xiaohan was about to put the address book in his pocket, Lu Xiaojian stepped in again, rushed up and snatched the address book from Dong Xiaohan's hand, and said sharply, "Don't even think about taking my brother's things away!" Dong Xiaohan rushed forward and grabbed the address book.She cried and said, "Give it to me! I am useful! Don't worry, I will find the murderer and avenge your brother!" Lu Xiaojian looked angry and mocking: "Revenge? I really want to avenge my brother, You just buy a packet of poison rat and swallow it yourself!" Dong Xiaohan threw herself on Lu Xiaojian desperately, and snatched the address book back. She wandered around in the study, and finally found a ballpoint pen, and tightly protected the address book with her body. Write down Yuan Peng's address.Then, he returned the address book to Lu Xiaojian. Before leaving Lu's house, Dong Xiaohan went to Lu's father, she cried and said: "Father, I'm sorry for you, I owe you all my life, I dare not ask your forgiveness, I just ask you to believe that I am also in pain. Please also believe that I have never forgotten the misfortune that happened to us..." Dong Xiaohan ran out with tears streaming down her face. Accompanied by Tan Xiangming, Dong Xiaohan finally found Professor Yuan Peng.In a small courtyard in the countryside, Yuan Peng was sitting on a rattan chair. To be precise, he was not sitting on a chair, but paralyzed in it.The sun shone on his face as if on a piece of rotten wood.Yuan Peng's eyes are cloudy, his gaze is dull, the corners of his mouth are twisted to one side, and the saliva is constantly flowing out of his mouth. When he saw the visitor, he wanted to signal the visitor to take a seat, but he raised his left hand, but it didn't rise, instead, it kept shaking .This scene made Dong Xiaohan very sad. Yuan Peng could hardly say anything complete.Fortunately, Yuan Peng was still thinking, and he quickly understood the purpose of the guest. He slurred and asked someone to bring a notebook, and when he turned to a page, Dong Xiaohan immediately saw Fang Jie's phone number.That is a foreign number.Yuan Peng told Dong Xiaohan tremblingly that if he wanted to know Xiao Kun, he had better go to Fang Jie, who probably knew Xiao Kun better than himself. Tan Xiangming and Dong Xiaohan thanked each other, left a gift for Yuan Peng, and left. Walking on the small road in the country, Dong Xiaohan said melancholy: "Can you think of it? This is a medical professor who is full of peaches and plums, and a medical expert who has published many academic monographs." Tan Xiangming said: "Yes, you can have nothing. Illness, the most terrifying thing in the world is illness." Dong Xiaohan sighed: "I think what is more terrifying than illness is the human heart." Tan Xiangming nodded: "It makes sense." It was a spring morning, and the bright sunshine in the countryside shone on Dong Xiaohan, but her mood was extremely gloomy.Fortunately, Tan Xiangming worked tirelessly to accompany her to run around, so that her lonely heart constantly felt a little bit of comfort. Dong Xiaohan went to China Telecom to open the international long-distance service at his residence. As soon as he entered the house at night, he hugged the microphone and dialed the unfamiliar long-distance overseas. However, no one answered.From this day on, she called many times, but no one answered each time.For a while, she wondered if Fang Jie was there.One morning, when Dong Xiaohan called again, she decided that if there was still no answer, she would have to go to the countryside to visit Professor Yuan Peng for the second time.Unexpectedly, just as he was thinking so, the phone was picked up. A female voice came from the other end of the phone line.Dong Xiaohan suddenly had mixed feelings. It was Fang Jie.After hearing Dong Xiaohan's self-report, Fang Jie didn't express any enthusiasm. She didn't seem to welcome her phone interview. The two cut to the chase without even a word of greeting.Fang Jie asked politely: "What do you want from me?" Dong Xiaohan said: "Xiao Kun passed away." Fang Jie fell silent for a while, and after a long time, she whispered: "When did it happen?" Dong Xiaohan said : "Last spring." Next, Dong Xiaohan told Fang Jie the whole story of Lu Xiaokun's murder.Fang Jie didn't show any surprise, and there was another long silence.After a while, Fang Jie asked, "Why didn't you notify me until now?" Dong Xiaohan said, "I looked for you before, but I couldn't find you." Fang Jie asked, "Why did I find you now?" Dong Xiaohan suddenly sobbed: " I don’t know either.” Fang Jie asked, “What do you need me to do when you are looking for me?” Dong Xiaohan said, “I don’t think I know many things about Xiao Kun, so I think you might help me.” Fang Jie then asked It was silence, and after a while she said: "Give me time, let me think about it." The phone hung up. Almost with a feeling, Dong Xiaohan felt that there seemed to be some secret buried in Fang Jie's heart, and she was about to say it. Since that day, Dong Xiaohan has made countless long-distance calls with Fang Jie who is far away in the UK.There is no computer in the room, and it is not allowed to communicate through the Internet. Dong Xiaohan mainly eats instant noodles, longxu noodles and Chinese cabbage every day. In fact, she can't taste anything. She spent all the money she saved on long distances across the ocean.In front of Fang Jie, Dong Xiaohan, who has always used self-esteem as a sign, has already worn his face thickly.Face, dignity, nothing else. Dong Xiaohan said to Fang Jie on the phone: "Although you still refuse to say anything, I have a hunch that only you can help me solve many mysteries." Fang Jie asked her: "Are you so confident?" Dong Xiaohan said: " It’s not confidence, it’s a feeling. I don’t know if this feeling is wishful thinking, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, no matter how slim it is, even if it’s only one percent, I’m willing to put in 100 percent effort.” Fang Jie fell silent again. It was like this almost every time, Fang Jie always listened to Dong Xiaohan crying in silence, but she herself said nothing.Sometimes Fang Jie would say impatiently, can you give me time?Don't force me, okay?One morning, Dong Xiaohan got up from a half-dream and half-awake, and called again. She has figured out the rules.If you call Fang Jie at night, Fang Jie's side happens to be in the daytime, and Fang Jie seems to be very busy every day, and she doesn't have time to answer the phone, not even a minute.Dong Xiaohan can only count the time difference, It was late at night on Fang Jie's side, so I could call. Fang Jie's voice came from far away, and Dong Xiaohan couldn't stop crying, weeping unceasingly.In her heart, Fang Jie, whom she had never met, had an intimate relationship with a man with her, which gave her a strong sense of intimacy.This is just her feeling, she doesn't care whether Fang Jie feels the same way, or whether Fang Jie can accept this feeling.She grabbed the microphone and wept to Fang Jie. Fang Jie's attitude has gradually improved from the initial indifference.Now she is willing to take the time to listen to Dong Xiaohan's narration, and she will also persuade her appropriately, but she has never had a deep talk with Dong Xiaohan.At this moment, I don't know if Dong Xiaohan infected Fang Jie, Fang Jie couldn't help crying while holding the microphone.Her sadness seems to be worse than Dong Xiaohan's. Fang Jie cried and said, "Why do you keep telling me your pain? You are too selfish, do you know? It's not easy for me to hang around here by myself, and I'm also in pain, do you know?" Everyone knows Fang Jie went out to study for a Ph.D. In fact, only she knew what she was doing.After five years in England, she still hasn't even entered the school gate.Over the years, she has been working every day and every day. She has to go to the supermarket to sell goods in the morning, do tutoring in the morning, wash dishes in a restaurant in the afternoon, go to the hospital as a nurse in the evening, and can only return to her residence after eleven o'clock at night. Legal status, part-time jobs are all sneaky... This is Fang Jie's life in the UK. Dong Xiaohan stopped crying.She was stupefied, shocked.She always thought that Fang Jie had already obtained a degree, had a stable and high-paying job in the UK, lived at least a white-collar life, and might have found a good husband.Otherwise, why had she stayed in England?She couldn't believe that a dignified master of medicine went to England to live such a life!Dong Xiaohan wiped away the tears on his face, and asked blankly, "Why don't you go to school?" Fang Jie said bitterly: "It used to be my dream to study, but do you know how expensive the tuition fees of British schools are? Do you know how expensive the rent here is? Do you know how much the most basic consumption is required to live in the UK every day? "At the beginning, Fang Jie went to work to study, and she wanted to study after saving enough tuition fees.Later, her mentality changed, and she felt that it was better to make money first, and then return to China after earning enough money, find someone to marry, have children, and have a home of her own... She was too tired and didn't want to read any more books. Dong Xiaohan was strongly shocked.She never expected that Fang Jie went to England empty-handed, and all the tuition fees for her studies had to be saved by working illegally and living frugally.What's even more incredible is that she went abroad to study, but she didn't want to study after she went out.It was only then that she understood why Fang Jie had cut off all contact with all relatives and friends in the country as if she had evaporated in the past few years.Dong Xiaohan asked: "Lu Xiaokun loved you before. When you went out, there was no tuition fee, so he never thought of helping you?" Fang Jie stopped crying, and said with a wry smile: "He? When I love you, I would give you everything, but I left him and became an outsider." Dong Xiaohan was stunned.It seems that Lu Xiaokun immediately transferred all the family's money when he filed for divorce. It was not an impulsive behavior, but a habit in his bones.Otherwise, why did Fang Jie comment on him so much?Fang Jie said again: "But I never talked to him about my situation. After I came out, I had less contact with him, and he didn't know my real situation." Dong Xiaohan asked: "Do you know why he changed careers? Give up his medicine?" Fang Jie said, "Maybe medicine hurt his heart." Dong Xiaohan wanted to ask again, but Fang Jie suddenly said: "I'll talk about it when I have time." Well, I don't have that much time right now." Dong Xiaohan was silent for a while: "Fang Jie, tell me your bank account number, and I will send you the money." By the time he said this, Dong Xiaohan had already decided to donate the money he got from selling the hut to Fang Jie.The sum totaled 95,000 yuan. She hadn't worked for a while, so she spent 5,000 yuan in odds and ends, leaving 90,000 yuan in the bank.She has lived frugally for a year, and she dare not use it unless it is absolutely necessary, because it is the life inheritance from the sale of a relative, so that money is as precious as her life.Now, it's time to put it to use. Fang Jie was obviously very surprised, she never expected Dong Xiaohan to have such an idea.Dong Xiaohan said: "It's not easy for you outside. I will convert 90,000 yuan into US dollars and remit it to you, and give it to you as a gift.But I have a condition that you answer all the questions I ask. Fang Jie said: "90,000 RMB, what do you think you can do for me?" "Dong Xiaohan said: "I can only give so much now, you can say the number, and I will give it to you slowly in the future.You think about it, think about it and give me a call. " Fang Jie burst into tears suddenly. Fang Jie did not reveal her bank account number, and she hung up the phone. Wisps of sunlight shone into the room, shining on Dong Xiaohan's tired, blood-losing, and sad face.She slowly got up from the bed, went to wash listlessly, and a new day was about to start again. Dong Xiaohan converted all 90,000 RMB into US dollars from the bank, and kept a passbook.She was waiting for Fang Jie's call.She thought, Fang Jie could even give up her studies in order to make money, so why can't she talk to Dong Xiaohan about the past for money?Is this worse than washing dishes in a restaurant or working as a part-time job in a hospital? She believed that Fang Jie would definitely call her. One afternoon a week later, after get off work, Dong Xiaohan walked up the stairs tiredly.Walking to the door, I heard the phone ringing in the house.She trembled all over, and quickly took out the key to open the door.She had very little social interaction, Qiao Yu usually called her on the cell phone, and Tan Xiangming also called her on the cell phone.At this time, the landline phone rang, and she had a subconscious feeling that it might be Fang Jie. Dong Xiaohan ran into the house and grabbed the phone. It really was Fang Jie. "Fang Jie, have you finally figured it out? Tell me your account number, and I will remit the money to you tomorrow!" Dong Xiaohan hastily said the words that have been on his mind for many days. "Xiaohan, where are you? Can you come out? Go to the coffee shop in front of Tiancheng University Come, I'll wait for you. Fang Jie's voice came from the microphone very clearly. Dong Xiaohan couldn't believe his ears: "Where are you?" Fang Jie said: "I have already returned to China. I just arrived in Tiancheng yesterday. I want to have a good talk with you." " Dong Xiaohan was very excited.Almost ignoring her thoughts, she grabbed the bag she had just put down and ran out. The coffee shop at the school gate has been around for quite some time.The wooden decoration by the door has become old and white. In the bustling city, by the door of the university campus, the small cafe exudes the vicissitudes of life. Dong Xiaohan got out of the taxi, stepped in, and saw Fang Jie at a glance in the noisy coffee shop.This was the first time she met Fang Jie, almost with a feeling.Similarly, Fang Jie recognized her at a glance, also relying on intuition.Dong Xiaohan never expected that Fang Jie would come back suddenly, and she was so moved that she couldn't find the right words to express her feelings. At the same time, her return made Dong Xiaohan realize that Fang Jie must have something important to tell her. Fang Jie stood up from her seat.She was wearing a pink cardigan, which looked like a pink cloud under the faint light. Dong Xiaohan walked up to her and stared at her with eyes full of emotion. They all wanted to smile at each other, but no one laughed. "Xiaohan?" Fang Jie opened her mouth.借着并不明亮的灯光，董晓晗看到，方婕的脸上写着明显的疲倦，她的年龄应该比自己大几岁，差不多快三十了吧？Dong Xiaohan nodded.听着已经熟悉的声音，她有一种想拥抱方婕的冲动。还没等她伸出手，方婕已经张开双臂，在众目睽睽之下，拥抱了她。这一刻，她们都落泪了。 回忆往事，方婕的眼睛里充满了深情。 方婕曾经刻骨地爱过鲁小昆。那时候，鲁小昆是一个充满活力、朝气蓬勃的帅小伙。他热爱体育，性格开朗，跟他在一起，总是笑声不断，特别开心。那时候喜欢他的女同学有好几个，可他偏偏对方婕情有独钟。方婕跟他走在校园里，总会招来女同学们羡慕的目光，鲁小昆是个细心体贴的人，待她特别好，所以，那时候的方婕总是感到特别幸福。 董晓晗望着方婕，她完全能够体会到方婕当时那种幸福的心情，因为，她自己也曾经如此那般地幸福过。 鲁小昆还是个热心、善良的人。有一年寒假，他和方婕坐火车外出旅游，在硬卧车厢里，他主动把自己的下铺与上铺的一位老人进行调换，那位陌生的老人方便了，而小昆自己却要爬上爬下，邻铺的男人笑他是个傻子，鲁小昆却一点也不在乎。方婕的眼睛里闪烁着泪光：“那时候，我爱他，更爱他个性里那些闪光的东西。” 这一夜，两个女人并排躺在了同一张床上。 在这个城市里，方婕也是无亲无故。得知她要花钱住酒店，董晓晗便提出，如果不嫌弃，可以住到她的住处来。就这样，方婕跟她回到了这个暂时的家。 月光洒在床前，两个人谁都没有睡意。 大学校园里，方婕与鲁小昆度过了一段如诗如画的美好时光。那是一段令人回味无穷的光阴，两人已经约定，毕业后就结婚。可是天有不测风云，一次令人不堪回首的实验，彻底扭转了鲁小昆的人生。“后来，我们分手了。”月光下，方婕的眼神黯淡下来，“你知道我离开他的真正原因是什么吗？” 董晓晗静静地躺着，方婕的身体在她身旁散发着淡淡的香味。董晓晗是鲁小昆的妻子，但却不是他的女人，他生命中的女人只有一个，那就是方婕。方婕在他丧失男性功能后，离开了他，抛弃了他。不，不能说是她抛弃了他，用鲁小昆的话说，是他撵走了她。 “因为他再也不能给你带来做女人的快乐。”董晓晗说出这句话，眼泪又刷刷地往下淌。是的，她是他的妻子，可他却无法给予她一个妻子应该享有的。是陈峰给了她一切。在她的生命里，如果说曾经有过一个男人，那就是陈峰。 听了董晓晗这句话，方婕忽然变得激动起来。她霍地一下翻身坐起，她望着董晓晗，声音一下子提高了许多：“不！晓晗！不是这样的！如果你也这样认为，那就是对我的侮辱和伤害！” 董晓晗霎时愣住了。 难道还有别的原因？ 董晓晗也坐起来，注视着方婕。 月光下，方婕的头发披散着，裸露着的双肩凝脂般光滑，应该说她算得上一个很有味道的女人。这就是丈夫生命中惟一的女人。此时，董晓晗忽然有一种感激涌在心头。她想，如果没有这个女人，自己的丈夫一生该有多么悲哀、多么可怜。他做过男人。是这个女人给了他做男人的感觉。 董晓晗很想向方婕说声谢谢，替自己的丈夫谢谢她。可是，她却说不出口。她为自己的想法感到奇怪。方婕盯着董晓晗，语调激动地问，“他这么说的？他说是因为他有了病，我就嫌弃他，离开他，抛弃了他，是吗？” 董晓晗有些慌，她不明白方婕为什么这样激动。她慌慌地点了点头，又摇了摇头，她低声说：“我不太清楚。我只是偶然听他谈过一次你，他说因为他不行了，你们就完了。后来他就再不对我谈你，也不让我提。” “不是那样的。我离开他，不是因为那件事。”方婕的情绪缓和下来，“我离开他，是因为，我发现，他变了。”董晓晗问：“他的性格大变？变得忧郁？多疑？是吗？”方婕伤感地说：“不仅仅是性格，还有人格。他整个人，从里到外，都变了。”
