On the Best Ways to Punish a Playful Ex

Xie Yaran's "elope" was just a casual term, referring to their leaving privately, but to Shen Zhengying, the word "elope" had a specific and special meaning.

After the farewell, she often thinks what would happen if she followed Hu Lai's proposal on New Year's Day.

Go with her like the first time, don't ask the destination, don't ask the return date, just leave immediately.

Xie Yaran originally only intended to send a message, but felt that Lin Fangqin, who specially invited them, was too careless, so she called.After she finished making the phone call, she saw Shen Zhengying dazed and lost like a girl, she couldn't help laughing.

Touching her arm, Xie Yaran said: "I apologized to Lin Fangqin, she understands very well, just let me give her a discount next time. What about you, what are you thinking?"

Shen Zhengying withdrew her mind, walked out with her, took a few steps and said, "I want to elope."

"Elopement will most likely be regrettable. Go out frighteningly, complain about each other and go home, so don't even think about it. The person who asks you to elope is probably uneasy and well-intentioned."

"It's not what you think, she, what she said was symbolic." Xie Yaran's words were beyond Shen Zhengying's expectation, "I thought you would say that you should elope."

"It's not the old society, you need to elope to break the shackles of the family. Modern people, you are your own. When the fun is good, it's fine to live a serious life." Xie Yaran looked at her thoughtfully, and it was him again, isn't it? Unexpectedly, "Someone really asked you to elope. Shen Zhengying, you impress me. Come, tell me, how have you been all these years, and what's going on now."

A person's life is full of ups and downs, and different stages have different sorrows, joys, sorrows and joys. In summary, it is only a few words.

After graduating from university, she got married and gave birth to a son, went on to become a teacher, and got divorced. Now her son is studying for a graduate student, and she continues to be a teacher in a college.

Xie Yaran's half life was considered to be magnificent, no matter which part of it will be amazed, and recently there is a little girl who admires and longs for it. From her mouth, everything is ordinary: "Traveling around, taking pictures, and continuing to wander around and take pictures after graduating from university. A shop is a small business."

"Not married and have no children?" Shen Zhengying was curious, how free and easy.

"Became married, divorced, no children, well, it's an open relationship now."

The two called a car to Xie Yaran's shop, regardless of Shen Zhengying's thoughts, Xie Yaran uttered a fashionable word.After finishing speaking, I remembered that Shen Zhengying and her were of the same generation. I haven't seen her for such a long time, so I don't know how to accept it.To the group of people at the party, this word was no different from sex. I don't know if Shen Zhengying would find it too exciting.

When I led the person into the store and took her to the corner of the second floor, she frowned and asked: "Is it the open relationship I understand? In a relationship, there is no one-to-one constraint, and the other party can find a third party or other People having sex or bonding?"

Xie Yaran burst out laughing: "As soon as you explained it, I immediately felt a high-level academic sense. Yes, yes, it is an open relationship that you understand."

"Can people really have an open relationship? I've only seen it in film and television works and online posts, such as "Fatal Woman", but it failed in the end, and both husband and wife found it impossible to do it. Human possessiveness, is the relationship beyond human nature really achievable?"

Beckoning Linda who is on duty today, Xie Yaran explained: "When a person realizes that one person cannot satisfy all needs, instead of sneaking around, it is better to make an appointment with someone who is willing to make a contract. For me, the past two or three years until now No problem. What will happen in the future, will my mind change, will his mind change, everything is unknown. However, we don’t share partners like the couple in American dramas. Mind eating sandwiches, salads and red wine dinner?"

"I don't mind." What to eat is second, talent is the most important, even though Shen Zhengying doesn't like cold food for dinner.After she was seated, she took a sip of the lemonade poured by the waiter, and noticed that the background music in the shop was the possibility of love that she heard in the car on New Year's Day.

"I want to give you the whole world, and I don't want to wait for a moment. I want your heart, but I'm afraid it won't come true..."

After listening to it again and again, Xie Yaran asked Linda to bring her signature sandwiches, salad, cheese, snacks and red wine and asked, "Why repeat this song?"

Linda got used to listening to it, and was busy in the store again. The customers didn't complain, and she didn't notice that the background music was repeated again and again. The boss only remembered it when she asked, and replied: "Miss Hu came to ask for it this afternoon, but I forgot to tune it back. "

"Nerves. Change it, it gives me a headache."

Linda has an accent in Mandarin, and Xie Yaran is too used to correcting Ms. Hu as Ms. Fu every day. Shen Zhengying thought it was a certain Ms. Fu, and asked naturally: "Your open relationship partner?"

Xie Yaran was surprised, and looked meaningfully at this old classmate whom she hadn't seen for 30 years, "It's a pretty girl who often comes to the store recently."

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Didn't expect you to talk about these topics so easily and naturally. I always thought... you were homophobic."

Homophobia is the homophobia of the deep closet.

Shen Zhengying didn't hear her subtext, but said with a smile: "It's so old, it can be seen everywhere in the school, and sexual orientation is also mentioned in class, how could it be homophobic, and it's not my parents."

When she mentioned her parents, she paused, and Xie Yaran went on to say: "Your parents, especially your mother, terrified me when I was young. Do you remember the little girl in her class?"

"I remember, how could I forget. I still remember the little girl with two braids, and the braids were tied with flowers. They were two small balls. It was a rare thing for me, so I was very impressed. My mother is the head teacher. , I don’t know who to listen to give a small report, so I drag people outside the classroom to scold her: Are you gay with Wang Yue.”

"You even remember the name?" Xie Yaran put the sandwich in front of her, and skillfully poured her wine.

"I remember that sentence, my mother said that you know it's a disease, it's a pervert. The voice is sharp and harsh."

"I also remember your mother's tone, just like Aunt Tiger's. You were sitting by the window at that time, so you should have seen it better."

"That little girl's expression of wanting to cry but holding back, I can't forget even if I want to." After eating a piece of tuna fish sandwich, Shen Zhengying realized that he was really hungry, so he took another piece. .

"That was when we were studying in the past. If it is now, you can complain to your mother and apologize in minutes."

"More than that, it must have been forwarded more than [-] times on social media. Maybe those in our family were all fleshed out."

Shen Zhengying's second change is that she has become lively and can joke. Before, she was silent and talked to her in a low voice.And before, she definitely wouldn't do something like wolfing down a sandwich while talking.She would say: My mother said that eating like that is not good.

At that time, she was kind of cautious and cute.

Now she is a little more casual and innocent than she was when she was young.

Xie Yaran smiled, "You really were frightened by that scene."

The hand stretched out to the beef sandwich retracted, and wiped her mouth and hands with a wet towel, Shen Zhengying looked into her eyes and said, "Yes, I was very scared, and I had nightmares for several nights, in which I was thrown on the road by my parents On the Internet, people come and go, no clothes, just being pointed at by people. Until now, I still have the dream of not wearing anything and being surrounded by people."

Shaking Shen Zhengying's hand, Xie Yaran sighed: "Poor Zhengying."

She never thought that that incident would have such a big impact on Shen Zhengying.I just happened to think of such a possibility when I recalled the scene at that time countless times.

Shen Zhengying shook her head, "Damn it. At that time I was really scared, and I was extremely inferior at that time, living under the shadow of my parents was not counted, and there were people who often bullied me. Well, the one named Shen who came today, and His brother. They said it was useless for me to go back and tell my parents, because my parents are his brother's teachers, and would rather believe his brother than me, even though my parents just criticized his brother. This is not the most ridiculous, the most ridiculous I think they're right."

"You never said that."

"I couldn't say it at the time. How do you want me to tell you that I am not popular, and even my parents don't like me? Then how can I be friends with you? Xie Yaran, I didn't want you to say this today Sympathy, just wanted to tell you why I had that reaction at the time. I always felt from the bottom of my heart that no one would like me."

"That's when I told you that I like you."

"I was very happy at that moment, but in a blink of an eye I doubted, really, you really like me like this, and then I was afraid, so I backed away. So when you asked me if I hated you, I didn't say."

Shen Zhengying remembered that Xie Yaran's face went from smiling to extremely disappointed, and finally seemed to be about to cry.

After draining the red wine in the glass, Xie Yaran exhaled and said, "I thought you hated me, so I didn't tell you about the transfer. For a long time, I thought you hated me, and I was so sad."

"I'm sorry." What Shen Zhengying didn't say was that she went to look for Xie Yaran after she transferred to another school.She has been to their alley many times, but she can't find where she lives after searching.I also waited at the entrance of the alley, but there was no one.

Pour another glass of wine for Shen Zhengying and herself, Xie Yaran said: "I went back to school in the third year of junior high school and waited for you at the place where we met for a long time. Where have you been?"

"I was there, I didn't go anywhere, I hid secretly to see you. How long have you been waiting, how long have I been watching."

"I didn't expect you to be so promising."

After drinking a large glass of wine, Shen Zhengying smiled, "I didn't expect that either. All these years I've always thought, I hope you hate me, so it won't be too sad, but I don't want you to really hate me. It's hypocritical, huh? "

"Damn it. What happened to you when you got married? I remember when you were young, you said that your parents hoped that you would continue to study and go to graduate school. Calculate your son's age, and you should have gotten married quite early."

"For the first time in my life, I was rebellious. After graduating from university, I got married and had children."

Xie Yaran is angry, this is considered rebellious...

"Don't look down on people, it's rare for me." After two glasses of wine in a row, Shen Zhengying was a little drunk, with a rich expression, and gradually let go.

"Later, did you continue your relationship after the divorce?"

"A person like me has no right to fall in love." Shen Zhengying pointed at her neck, "Look, invisible shackles. Sometimes I feel despicable and always hurt others. You are, and so is she..."

"Him? That was a heartbeat, and then ran away? Poor Zhengying. Tell me, who has the vision to fall in love with you so much."

"It's just unlucky." Thinking of Hu Lai, Shen Zhengying was sad, but couldn't help laughing, "She is a little girl with a lot of ego, but she is like a light, a warm and fiery light. Before seeing you today , I have never seen a person as lively as her, full of vigor, moving forward, never seems to hesitate, and looks very good-looking."

"What happened next?" Xie Yaran wanted another bottle of white wine. The friends she hadn't seen in 30 years gave her too many surprises, so she had to rely on wine to digest them.

"Later, that's it. I messed up. I didn't dare to think about the future with her. I tried, but it didn't work. Every time I think about it, I feel scared."

"What are you afraid of? The little girl wants to give birth to you? Or use your son's sperm?"

Shen Zhengying gasped.

"Look at you, your face is pale with fright. What makes you feel scared when you think of it?"

"Age, son, both parents. We have no future."

"The life in front of me is not good, so I think it's so long ago. Dao begets one, one, two, two, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, you have not yet reached a lifetime. A dignified university teacher, the heroine of a standard old-fashioned romance novel Thoughts. To put it bluntly, today you don’t know what will happen tomorrow, and in such an environment where epidemics are constantly appearing, if you die like this, will you not regret it later? Do you regret it?”

Often walking through old shrines, photographing countless Buddha statues, subtle influences, Xie Yaran is also somewhat detached, and does not intentionally avoid death when speaking.

"But... I can't stand other people's eyes, and I still remember my dream."

"Who's looking at you? You're the one who examines yourself all the time. People die when they're addicted to it. You have to have an addictive one at least."

"But……"

"Don't be too much, let's get drunk first if we have wine today."

The two drank three bottles of wine, and even Xie Yaran was 30% drunk. [-] years of past events, I thought everything had been let go, until I actually faced it, I realized that I was short of breath, and now I am finally at ease.

Shen Zhengying was even better. He kept drinking three sentences about how good and beautiful the little girl was and how much he missed her. He also muttered that she was not trustworthy and that she was the only one who agreed, and then went to look at others in a blink of an eye.

Xie Yaran couldn't listen anymore, so she clicked on the phone album to show her Hu Lai's lonely and thoughtful silhouette, "I don't believe it's better than mine."

Originally, Shen Zhengying drank too much alcohol, and his vision was blurred. When he saw Hu Lai's face, he rubbed his eyes and sat up straight, even the drunkenness disappeared.

"you this?!"

What's the meaning! ! !

"Hey, I just met a little girl. I came with my friends. It's a pity that she won't be my model."

"She, she, she, won't be the object of your open relationship."
