2006: School beauty loves me again

My mother-in-law's surname is Meng, Xiaoqiao Naihe.

Every time a pot of soup is cooked, it takes a thousand years to drink it all.

Every time she drank it, Po Meng would think of the memory of leaving the underworld.

Every time she said goodbye to Yama, Yama would say: OK, drink a bowl of soup and then you can go.

After Meng Po drank, Yama said: Go ahead and have another pot.

When Fangyuan returned to the dining table, the eating and drinking had already ended. Shen Ningfei was chatting with the three elders alone. Seeing him coming back, Qin Gang rolled his eyes and pulled Zhou Fenfang under the table. The couple exchanged a few words and then stood up to leave.

The housekeeper took care of the kitchen waste. Wu Yu left the moonlight and evening breeze to her daughter and Fangyuan, and went back to her room to rest.

The exclusive housekeeper of No. 1 Courtyard is a tall middle-aged woman who is diligent and very discerning. She quickly led people to clean the backyard and then left.

Fangyuan took Shen Ningfei's hand and asked her to sit on his lap.

"The stone bench is cool."

Shen Ningfei used to be shy about this kind of intimate gesture, but not anymore. Naturally, she sat over and held Fang Yuan's hand.

There are warm yellow light strips on the fence, which creates a romantic atmosphere at night.

Having just untied the knot with Qin Wanyu, Fangyuan felt a mixture of guilt and relief. This feeling had happened... many times in the past, and he was basically used to it.

But holding Shen Ningfei in his arms, his guilt increased. Under the evening star, he told his silly wife the story of King Yama and Granny Meng.

After listening, Shen Ningfei lowered his head and said with a smile: "I thought it was a ghost story, but it turned out to be very romantic."

"Do you think it's romantic? Don't you think the King of Hell is selfish?"

"I don't think so." Shen Ningfei smoothed her hair, pursed her lips and smiled, and asked him again: "Do you think you are selfish?"

Fangyuan nodded, but said: "But I can only be selfish."

Shen Ningfei said: "I know."

Fang Yuan tightened his arms and put his face against her chest.

Shen Ningfei stroked his short hair, and the palm of her hand itched. She smiled.

Fangyuan said: "We will never be separated."

Shen Ningfei asked with a smile: "Jingyi said you should never believe what a man says when you are in love."

Fangyuan said: "Then we will never be separated in this life."

"Okay." Shen Ningfei sniffed his nose and asked him, "Are you full? You didn't eat much at night."

Fangyuan said: "When I'm full, I'll eat you if I'm hungry again at night."

Shen Ningfei smiled and shook his head, "Mom is here, don't mess around."

After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked: "Wanyu just invited me to her home."

Fangyuan nodded and said, "Can we decorate it here?"

"The styles are different, so what's the difference? It's just that the host's house is comfortable. Did you have a good relationship in high school?"

"It's okay," Fangyuan answered vaguely, "You know, I was very busy in high school and it was difficult to have time to stay in school."

Shen Ningfei didn't ask further and said, "She gave me a gift and I want to return the gift. What do you think of the perfume?"

Fangyuan said, "It's okay to give perfume to girls."

Shen Ningfei said: "But she doesn't seem to use perfume and cosmetics much."

Fangyuan knew this, "It doesn't matter if you wear perfume."

Shen Ningfei asked: "Do you know what flavor she likes?"

Fangyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Shen Ningfei looked at him with a smile, "I know, I can smell her scent, it's very special."

-

Zhou Fenfang was always sullen on the way back, no matter how Qin Gang coaxed her, he couldn't coax her.

After entering the door, Zhou Fenfang took a look and heard the sound of piano music upstairs, so she knew her daughter was upstairs. She lowered her voice and turned around to glare at Qin Gang.

"What a bad idea you have. That Wu Yu is not easy to get along with at first glance. If my daughter is wronged by the mother and daughter, I don't care whether you work or not, I will definitely seek an explanation."

When Qin Gang heard this, he smiled and said, "That boy Fangyuan should be sensible. You can go there later..."

As he said that, he pointed to the upstairs in a mischievous manner, "Check your tone."

Fangyuan is not an emperor. As a woman and a mother, Zhou Fenfang cannot accept this messy family relationship no matter what. She places all her hopes on Qin Wanyu. Women should be self-reliant. She only hopes that her daughter can escape from this evil fate as soon as possible. .

Upstairs, Qin Wanyu's thoughts were swirling.

A woman trapped in love can wash away all her troubles through beautiful feelings. Today is the first time that Fangyuan responds to her feelings head-on. Qin Wanyu is elated.

Bandari's song was playing in the CD player, and it was also playing under her fingers. The double-row keys had no pedals, but her little feet in slippers still followed the rhythm bit by bit, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a way that she couldn't hide. smile.

The shoulders, waist, and belly seemed to still have the warmth of Fangyuan's big hand, making them tingle and tingle.

That rascal……

Fangyuan wanted to go even further to get that half of the kiss, but Qin Wanyu didn't do it.

She was looking forward to it, looking forward to the day when the yard would be filled with pink roses and she would be so excited that she couldn't help but kiss him.

She was still thinking about Liu Su. At first, she felt that going abroad seemed to be a smart and free choice, but now it seems... right? She wasn't sure.

She has made her heart clear, both herself and Fangyuan have made it clear, but the knot in Shen Ningfei's heart will not go away in a short time, but is it just Shen Ningfei? It seems that Shen Ningfei is never the only one.

When Shen Ningfei didn't show up, weren't Chen Wan and the others there?

Qin Wanyu had a blind bullet in her hand, and her confused thoughts had already flown elsewhere.

It's strange, why didn't Chen Wan and others take it into consideration before?
It was late at night, she stopped playing the piano, and had played the CD in a loop twice. When she returned to the bedroom, she saw her mother lying on her bed in her pajamas, reading a book. Qin Wanyu didn't say anything, took a change of underwear and went to take a shower, but after returning My mother is still here, and she is very strange.

Zhou Fenfang closed the book in her hand. It was a not-too-thick copy of "Siddhartha" that she took from her daughter's bookshelf to read.

She raised her eyes and looked at Qin Wanyu, "Come and lie down. Mom will sleep with you tonight."

Qin Wanyu went around to the other side and got on the bed, and asked, "Did you and dad quarrel again?"

Zhou Fenfang rolled her eyes, "How old do you have to be to keep arguing? Mom asked you..."

Mom asks you. As soon as these three words came out, Qin Wanyu's heart skipped a beat as if on conditioned reflex.

"Mom asked you, do you like this house?"

Phew... "I like it. The environment here is so good, of course I like it."

"Do you like being a neighbor with him?"

"..."

"He seems to have a very good relationship with that girl Shen."

"..."

"Talk to mom, what do you think?"

Under the quilt, Qin Wanyu's feet were curled up tightly. She didn't know how to respond. She couldn't answer these questions.

Zhou Fenfang let out a long sigh. It would be difficult to answer without answering. Just answer.

She looked at her daughter, wondering.

In terms of appearance, my daughter is even more beautiful than when she was young, and in terms of knowledge, my daughter is also first-rate.

It is said that the curse that a woman cannot escape in her life is to meet the wrong man. She asks herself that she has never made a mistake in her love choice...

That's not right, yes, I didn't make a mistake, but wasn't the previous danger also caused by feelings...

Twenty-one years later, she felt that she was protecting her daughter with all kinds of obstacles, but feelings still slipped through to her daughter through every possible opportunity.

"I've read half of this book. It's very interesting. I saw you drew a lot of sentences on it. Do you like to record like this when you read?"

Zhou Fenfang patted the novel aside.

After changing the topic, Qin Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief again.

"Well, I'm used to it. Some good quotes have to be read over and over again to remember them."

Zhou Fenfang asked: "If you remember the principle, can you use it?"

Qin Wanyu turned her head and looked at her mother. After a while, she leaned on the bedside, smiled blankly, and said, "Yes."

"Oh? Have you used the principles in this book?" Qin Wanyu looked at her mother puzzled. In her heart, the principles that the author wants to convey to the readers in each book are not one-sided and the stories are all in one direction. It is open, like a square, and readers can come in, look, and go out from all directions.

Zhou Fenfang said: "The gap in status changes, fear and anxiety, and the sinking after material life changes again..."

Qin Wanyu knew what she was going to say, shook her head and interrupted: "No, the theme of this book is the pursuit of eternal self."

Zhou Fenfang asked: "What self?"

"Atman," Qin Wanyu said: "the most basic concept of Indian philosophy, self."

Seeing that her mother didn't quite understand, she knew the opportunity had come.

"The author Hesse elaborated in a letter to a young man in 1943: Each of us has two selves. Who can always know where one of them begins and where the other ends? He is A truly wise man.

Our subjective, experiential, individual "self" - if we think about it for a moment, we will find that it is always changing and changing as we please, and it is largely dependent on and influenced by the outside world. What this self teaches us - as the Bible often says - is that we are a rather weak, stubborn, frustrated caste.

Next comes the other self, which is hidden within the previous one, merged with it, but in no way confused with it.

This second sublime, divine self is not an individual, but that part of us that we occupy in God, in life, in the whole, in the non-ego and the superego.

These are the author's original words, which are written in the postscript of this edition. You will know after reading the entire book. "

Zhou Fenfang smiled and said, "Mom knows you are smart, and I can't compare to you. But when you are middle-aged, your mother knows some wisdom about life better than you. Some things will be very painful in the future if you continue to do so."

Qin Wanyu said: "The wisdom I understand should be the ability to think harmoniously and unified at every moment in life, the preparation of the soul to feel and integrate this unity, an ability, and a secret art. Mom, this sentence The words are also said in this book.”

After chewing for a while, Zhou Fenfang said calmly: "Mom is old, and I can't help you anymore."

Qin Wanyu hugged her arm and rested his face on her shoulder. After bathing, mother and daughter looked more like a pair of sisters.

"You identified him?"

Qin Wanyu shook her head: "I don't know the future you mentioned, and no one knows. Maybe one day I won't like it, maybe I will like it forever, but at this moment, I am sure, Mom, I want to try, Wait and see the answer.”

Zhou Fenfang said: "Not all questions have answers. The answers life gives women are often... make do."

"I don't want to give in, so I have to wait."

Zhou Fenfang didn't speak for a while. She had already thought of words to persuade her daughter before entering the room, but except for the opening remarks, every subsequent sentence was different from what she expected.

She dimmed the bedside lamp and lay down.

The mother and daughter were pillowing on both sides. Zhou Fenfang stared at the ceiling for a long time, "Wait, it's the stupidest thing that a woman can do. It's worthless."

"Love is not worthless. It comes from nature and is a necessity. The desire for love should be nurtured, pain should be tasted, and stupidity should be practiced."

"..."

Only then did Zhou Fenfang realize that her daughter was really smart. She had already thought of every possible direction she could ask.

"How long do you have to wait? One year, two years? How many more years do you have until your best years?"

"I'm not afraid of waiting until I'm forty. At forty, I'm just as old as I am now."

Qin Wanyu's words came with a slight smile, and Zhou Fenfang was completely speechless.

Thinking about it conversely, being hopeless seems to be a compromise.

"Go to sleep."

The next day, Shen Ningfei took Fang Yuan with her to plant roses in Courtyard No. 3.

There is no technical content in growing roses. Just choose some suitable corners and scatter them. The important thing is pruning during the growth period. Whether they look good or not depends on pruning and maintenance.

Fangyuan didn't understand, but the two girls seemed to have done enough guides online. The tiny seeds were scattered like dust and became invisible, but they still carefully discussed where and how to cut them, as if they had already seen In the future, the garden will be full of flowers.

In the next few days, Fangyuan stopped asking Wu Yu to cook. She cooked every day herself, trying to leave a more perfect impression on her mother-in-law in case the harem group exploded one day.

The perfume that Shen Ningfei gave to Qin Wanyu was bought online and arrived in the mail on the fourth day.

It was a bottle of handmade perfume with exquisite packaging. It cost one thousand yuan. The packaging was not exquisite, but the taste was really... unique.

To be honest, Fangyuan was shocked when she first smelled it. It was exactly the same as the natural fragrance on Qin Wanyu's body.

He curiously asked his silly wife: "You have the talent to be a perfumer."

Shen Ningfei said: "I have always liked this taste, but it just doesn't suit me."

The relationship between her and Qin Wanyu is getting better and better. In the past few days, the two of them have almost been together. When Fangyuan took photos of Shen Ningfei, Qin Wanyu occasionally appeared in the photo.

When I went to Pingyao to participate in an exhibition, the professional teacher asked them to submit 6 to 9 photos. Each person could submit photos, and then the teacher would choose the best quality for processing and printing. However, Fangyuan missed the pre-selection period, so the teacher asked him to hand in any photos. , just go on it - a masterpiece from around the corner will always attract traffic to come and take a look.

But Fangyuan has strict self-requirements. Good guy, once the photo is rubbish, won’t it be his own reputation that will be damaged?
Why is the dean so vicious? !
Therefore, every photo in Fangyuan has been carefully composed and rehearsed. In the nine pictures featuring Shen Ningfei and Qin Wanyu, they are not the protagonists.

Some are back figures, some are standing far away among the rocks, and some even have only shadows or a pair of eyes.

After two days and two nights of intensive revision by Fangyuan, both Shen Ningfei and Qin Wanyu were dumbfounded when the finished product was taken out.

Looking at the computer screen, the two girls frowned.

Shen Ningfei: "This is..."

Qin Wanyu: "Why?"

Fangyuan clicked her tongue twice and said, "This is art, and only art can participate in exhibitions. I can't just use nine stickers to judge awards, right?"

Shen Ningfei asked: "What do these photos want to express?"

Qin Wanyu nodded and said, "Yes, what do you want to express?"

Fangyuan thought for a while and said: "An emotion."

"What emotion?"

"To put it bluntly, it's not called art."

"..."

August 2008, 8, 8pm.

The audio-visual room on the basement floor of Courtyard No. 1 was used for the first time. The large projection screen was connected to the computer. Accompanied by Qin Wanyu and Shen Ningfei, Fangyuan crossed her legs and chewed popcorn, happily watching the opening ceremony.

When the national flag was raised and the national anthem was played, I happened to test out the second-generation Dolby surround sound effect, which was great.

Ink and wash write the history of China, and the ultra-high-definition picture is impeccable.

When they were playing the fou, the two girls who were proficient in musical instruments didn't know what it was. Fangyuan didn't pretend, saying that she didn't know either, and asked them to look it up online.

"Fou. Strike the Fou."

Fangyuan said: "Do you know whether it should be green, fat, red and thin? I know."

After the 2,008 extras demonstrated the charm of Tai Chi, Shen Ningfei came on stage.

The dress is gorgeous. In the close-up, Shen Ningfei's young and charming face is displayed in front of the world's audience. Fangyuan is smiling. Qin Wanyu pulls Shen Ningfei and secretly points at him.

Shen Ningfei smiled helplessly. She couldn't explain what she felt in her heart, but this indescribable feeling... She put her eyes on Qin Wanyu's face. She was used to it.

When Shen Ningfei walked to the center of the stage, the director cut the camera to several VIP viewing seats in the Bird's Nest.

Needless to say leaders, Chen Wan and Li Muzi's figures flashed past, making Fang Yuan smile even more.

Among them, he also discovered another familiar face, the handsome Belgian guy who bought the third-round lead of FLY Group at the Icelandic auction.

Oh, it looks like he is a political figure. Fangyuan thought that he should ask for a guest list later.

The screen is too big, and what Fangyuan sees can also be seen by others.

Shen Ningfei didn't say anything, but Qin Wanyu playfully kicked Fang Yuan.

"Why don't you go?"

Fangyuan even stuttered, "Believe me, watching it live is definitely not as comfortable as watching it in front of a screen."

After singing "As You Wish", the whole audience was in an uproar, not shouting, but full of applause.

Amid the flashes of all the world's top media, Shen Ning walked off the stage gracefully.

In the penultimate program, the dreamy earth is rising, and the space heroes deliver their dreams.

In the end, the theme song remained the same, it was still oil and rice.

Next comes the entrance ceremony.

When the fireworks in the sky stopped, Qin Wanyu also got up and returned home, and Shen Ningfei handed over the escort task to Fangyuan.

Halfway there, Fangyuan dragged Miss Qin into the familiar grove. (End of chapter)
