salted fish marriage

It was half a month later that Qin Ling found out that Tong Beibei didn't believe in love and didn't like to be confessed to pursue it.

Originally, Jia Rui had something to do that day, so he wanted to ask him for a relationship and treat him to dinner.

Qinling went.

What Jia Rui wanted to ask was very simple, and Qin Ling agreed directly.

Jia Rui offered a toast to Qin Ling, and said with emotion: "I'm really honored by Brother Bei."

Qin Ling reciprocated with a toast, and his words were very good for Jia Rui: "You and Beibei have such a good relationship, and Beibei used to be in the same dormitory thanks to your care."

Jia Rui smiled and waved his hands: "It's not considered caring, brother, of course he helped me, and I helped him."

Mentioning Tong Beibei, the two chatted.

Jia Rui: "Brother Beibei has a good temper and is kind. Let alone me, the other two people in our dormitory who have a similar relationship with me also like Beibei."

Qin Ling thought of the classmates in the French class who were chatting and laughing with Bei Bei.

Qin Ling smiled and said, "Everyone likes him very much."

Jia Rui: "Yes, he was very popular when he was in college, and many people chased after him."

After a while, he laughed, "Don't mind Lao Qin, I'll just say it casually."

Qin Ling: "It's okay."

Thinking back to the past, Jia Rui said with emotion: "There are so many chasing Brother Bei."

Jia Rui: "We are only a few girls in civil engineering, almost all of them have asked me to send love letters to Brother Bei."

Qin Ling listened, found it interesting, and asked, "Have Beibei seen it?"

Jia Rui said "Hi" and said, "I didn't read it, I sent it back. A girl's heart is like a broken petal, falling down."

Jia Rui thought of something, and said: "Oh, yes, there are also boys. There is a boy in our department who wrote a love letter to Brother Bei. He was so persistent. It took two full years to write. I feel like God I had to be moved by him, but in the end Brother Ren Bei was completely unmoved."

Qin Ling bent his lips: "He doesn't like it."

Jia Rui nodded: "No."

Jia Rui drank a little too much, his mouth was twitching like a machine gun.

"Brother Bei was really 'ruthless' before, he ignored anyone who chased him."

"But after I graduated soon, I figured out why."

At this time, Qin Ling didn't take the phrase "ruthless" seriously, took a sip of wine from the glass, and asked, "Why?"

Jia Rui whispered: "Because of his family."

Qin Ling paused.

Jia Rui: "You should also know that Brother Bei's old man abandoned his wife and made his mother miserable."

"Brother Bei, influenced by his family, he doesn't believe in love."

Jia Rui: "I even asked him."

"He said he felt that the relationship was quite illusory."

"It's quite serious to ask me, how do you define 'like' and 'love'?"

Qin Ling listened, thinking in his expression.

Jia Rui didn't pay attention, and continued to say, "So when I found out that Beibei married you, I was really happy."

"I just thought, he used to be stubborn, if he didn't meet someone he really likes this time, could he marry you?"

"Impossible, right?"

Qin Ling didn't say anything, picked up the cup and took a sip of wine.

On the way back, when Lao Zhang was driving, Qin Ling lowered the car window, letting the cool night wind blow on his face and woke him up.

What Jia Rui said at night really messed up his heart with a stick.

Beibei, doesn't he believe it?

It turned out that it was for this reason that I had been single for many years.

Qin Ling felt a little bored, stretched out his hand and tugged at the neckline several times.

Lao Zhang glanced at it from the rearview mirror and asked, "Are you uncomfortable?"

Qin Ling: "Nothing."

Qin Ling always remembered what Jia Rui said.

One day, he went home to pick up a document left in the study, and when he entered the door, Beibei was not at home, and the aunt hired by Beibei was mopping the floor.

This was the first time that Aunt Zhao and Qin Ling met at home. As soon as the door opened, the two looked at each other. Aunt Zhao called out "Master" stiffly, and Qin Ling nodded.

Qin Ling went upstairs to get the documents and was about to leave immediately. He passed by the living room and saw Aunt Zhao. He suddenly remembered that Beibei had said that the aunt he invited had been a nurse and had taken care of his mother in the hospital. He stopped, turned around and said, "It's convenient to ask Do you have something?"

……

"Bebe, Bebe is sensible."

Aunt Zhao chatted about the past, rambling on and on, unable to stop.

"His mother was already dying in the hospital at that time."

"He didn't give up at all, and stayed in the hospital every day."

"Mother and child are also pitiful, meeting that kind of man."

"His mother felt guilty before she passed away, so don't worry about her only son."

"His mother told me that under the influence of her and his biological father, Beibei didn't believe in feelings or love since she was a child."

"But before his mother died, she very much hoped that he could find a companion to spend his life together safely and happily."

"I was worried too."

"I heard that he got married after the next year, and I'm quite happy for his mother."

……

"President Qin, President Qin?"

Li Meng called several times in succession before Qin Ling came back to his senses.

Li Meng doubted what he had just reported, and how many words did the boss, who was in a daze, hear.

As a result, Qin Ling closed the document directly, and Shen Si didn't belong to the Tao: "Let's do this first."

Seeing that Qin Ling's expression was not right, Li Meng quickly asked, "Would you like a cup of coffee?"

Qin Ling said "Yes", and Li Meng went out.

The office was quiet again, Qin Ling leaned back in the chair, with a pen in his hand.

He suddenly thought, if he confessed his love to Beibei now, how would Beibei react?

Will you reject yourself like rejecting the boy who wrote love letters for two years?

In the evening, Qin Ling and Chu Huaiyan met at Qing Bar.

The two men sat side by side in front of the bar, with similar figures and close backs, and even the dullness of drinking seemed to be carved out of the same mold.

Chu Huaiyan asked Qin Ling: "Why do you have a wife and I don't?"

Qin Ling turned his head, what's wrong.

Chu Huaiyan then asked: "Why did you and Tong Beibei get married so quickly? Is there a secret?"

Qin Ling drank and ignored Chu Huaiyan.

Chu Huaiyan: "Hey, tell me about it."

"I'm so miserable, can you give me some sympathy?"

Qin Ling gave: "I think it's suitable, after discussing it, we'll get married."

Chu Huaiyan: "How did you discuss it?"

Qin Ling: "RV, household, these."

Chu Huaiyan turned to Qin Ling and asked, "You did mean to give [-] a month, right?"

When Qin Ling was drinking, he didn't care about his answer, and said, "Well, fifty thousand."

Chu Huaiyan scolded angrily: "I'm fucking with Min Heng, and the monthly rent is more than [-]."

"100 is tied to you! [-] million but no one likes me!"

Chu Huaiyan quit, "Can a man like you have a wife?"

Qin Ling was also thinking: can a man who abandons his wife and son, causing his children to not even believe in their feelings, exist in this world?

Chu Huaiyan: "Damn it."

Qin Ling: Damn it.

Chu Huaiyan: "You said if I propose again now, will he agree?"

Qin Ling asked: "If I told you that the majority of good men in this world are still there, would you believe me?"

Chu Huaiyan shook his head: "I don't believe it."

Qin Ling pushed the wine glass and stood up.

Chu Huaiyan: "Hey! Where are you going?"

Qin Ling: "Go home and accompany my wife."

The wife herself is doing yoga on the yoga mat in the living room.

When Qin Ling opened the door, he saw this scene:

Tong Beibei is wearing a light blue close-fitting yoga suit, her chest is close to the mat, her back is straight, her knees touch the ground, her feet are facing the sky, her instep is straight, and her leg is straight and tense under the support of her chest and knees Facing the sky, stretch your arms forward on the pads, with slow movements and graceful postures.

This set of movements perfectly shows the advantages of Tong Beibei's figure and the slenderness and softness of her body.

Just looking at it, Qin Ling felt like he was about to change.

Tong Beibei saw Qin Ling when he was resting his movements. He got up from the yoga mat and walked out from behind the sofa. He glanced at the clock on the wall out of the corner of his eye, showing a little surprise, and asked, "It's so early today?"

It's only seven o'clock.

Qin Ling looked at Tong Beibei silently, and stretched out his hand to him, Tong Beibei passed it tacitly, Qin Ling hugged him: "Yeah."

Tong Beibei was sweating lightly, and the tip of his nose was wet. He was about to wipe it off, but Qin Ling raised his hand to wipe it off for him, and asked at the same time, "Are you done?"

Tong Beibei: "Well, it's all right."

Qin Ling put his arms around his slender waist, patted him, and said patiently: "Go take a bath first."

Tong Beibei observed Qin Ling's face.

Qin Ling said warmly: "What's wrong?"

Tong Beibei looked back at him and asked, "What happened?"

Qin Ling: "I don't look good?"

Tong Beibei took another look: "It's not bad, it's different from usual."

Qin Ling said softly, "What's the difference?"

Tong Beibei: "You seem to have something on your mind today."

"It's okay." Qin Ling patted Tong Beibei's waist again, "Go take a bath, don't catch a cold."

When Tong Beibei came out, Qin Ling had already helped him put away the yoga mat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and was sitting in front of the sofa peeling apples.

Tong Beibei sat over with the fragrant water vapor on her body, and Qin Ling raised her eyes immediately.

Tong Beibei took a bite of the sliced ​​apple on the plate, raised her eyebrows and looked at Qin Ling: "Huh?"

Qin Ling signaled him: "Come here."

Tong Beibei ate an apple and walked around the coffee table and sat down. As soon as she sat down, Qin Ling leaned over and sniffed at Tong Beibei's neck, rubbed the tip of her nose lightly, and said, "It smells so good."

Tong Beibei ducked timidly.

Qin Ling kissed him on the neck, and then handed the half-cut apple to Tong Beibei, who took it.

Qin Ling tidied up the fruit peels and garbage trays on the tea table, and said to Tong Beibei in a casual tone: "Jia Rui has something to do with me a few days ago, please ask me to have a meal."

Tong Beibei listened, nodded, and ate the apple.

Qin Ling: "It's simple, I agree."

Tong Beibei: "Yes."

Qin Ling: "Afterwards we ate and talked about your college days."

Tong Beibei: "Yes."

He took a bite of the apple, chewed it, and asked while eating, "What are you talking about about me?"

Qin Ling turned around and looked at Tong Beibei: "At that time, you rejected a boy who wrote you love letters for two years in a row."

Tong Beibei had an impression and nodded: "Well, what then?"

Qin Ling tidied up the tea table, sat back and chatted.

He said: "No more, just chat casually."

Then asked: "For two years, you didn't give me a chance, so 'ruthless'?"

Tong Beibei said casually: "It's a little bit, but I basically refused everyone at that time."

Qin Ling: "Why?"

Tong Beibei: "I don't want to fall in love."

"Why don't you want to talk?"

Qin Ling already knew the reason, but he wanted to hear from his partner.

Tong Beibei shrugged: "There is no specific reason, I just don't want to talk about it."

After a pause, "I was young at that time, and my thoughts on feelings were a bit extreme."

Qin Ling guided: "Extreme?"

Tong Beibei ate the apple and said, "Well, at that time, I felt that such things as feelings were illusory. It was quite uncertain, and I didn't believe it."

"So I refuse whoever chases me, and I myself don't like the idea of ​​whoever pursues whom."

"now what?"

"Now," Tong Beibei thought for a while, "it's okay now."

After thinking about it, I said, "At least I'm not as negative as before."

Qin Ling heard the voice: "I still don't believe it, do I?"

Tong Beibei paused when she gnawed on the apple.

He felt that this topic was a bit inexplicable, unlike what Qin Ling would usually talk to him about, but he didn't think too much about it.

"Probably." He answered vaguely.

Qin Ling put forward a hypothesis: "If we are not married, but just acquainted, and have no blind date, and I chase you and confess to you, will you reject me?"

Tong Beibei didn't even think about it: "Yes."

Qin Ling: "Because of 'negative', because of 'unbelief'?"

Tong Beibei nodded.

Qin Ling continued: "What about now? If I say I like you."

Tong Beibei gnawed the apple slowly.

He thought about it while eating, and said slowly: "It's not so fast."

Qin Ling's heart sank.

Tong Beibei nodded again and said, "I accept."

Qin Ling's heart followed suit.

Tong Beibei further said: "We are husband and wife, we are already married, I'm not that bad, I'm not bad, it's okay, slowly develop a relationship, you will like me, it will be a matter of time."

Qin Ling always felt that there was something wrong with these words, and he couldn't taste it for a while.

Until Tong Beibei followed up and said: "But our relationship is different from the relationship you just said about the boy who wrote me a love letter for two years and chased me."

Tong Beibei: "This kind of relationship between us can be regarded as a long-term cultivation. I quite believe in this kind of relationship."

Tong Beibei: "The kind that chases after me is considered 'love'—you obviously don't know me, and you don't understand me, but you can say you like me just because you've met me a few times."

"I don't believe this."

Qin Ling finally realized what was wrong.

Tong Beibei said that the relationship they will cultivate is the same as his previous understanding of marriage and relationship, which belongs to the relatively stable and peaceful relationship cultivated in getting along.

This feeling is more like a family relationship than love.

The one that Tong Beibei didn't believe was "love" to be precise, and to be more precise, it was his current feelings for Tong Beibei.

Qin Ling suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his heart.

Enduring those stinging pains, he looked at Tong Beibei and asked, "What if my feelings for you are not the first one you said, but the second one?"

Tong Beibei was taken aback for a moment, and an inexplicable expression suddenly appeared on his face.

He chewed the apple in his mouth unhurriedly, blinked, and looked blank: "The second kind? No."

Qin Ling's eyes locked on Tong Beibei: "Why not?"

Tong Beibei took it for granted: "Because when we got married, your attitude towards our relationship was the same as my attitude towards this marriage."

The implication: Since it's the same, I didn't even fall in love with you, and I'm still cultivating a relationship with you after marriage, how could you fall in love with me, and it's still love?

Pfft——Qin Ling got another sword in the heart.

Qin Ling silently covered his heart, not giving up, and said: "Suppose I fall in love with you now."

Tong Beibei took a bite of the apple, looked back at Qin Ling calmly, and said in a chatty tone, "Farewell."

"That's what young people like to do."

"One of us is 28 and the other is 33. The combined age is enough to step into the coffin with one leg."

"Let's play it safe."

Tong Beibei added: "I don't want love, and I don't need it. What I want is a stable relationship and a mature relationship."

Qin Ling's chest was covered with swords, blood flowed all over the floor, and he was still struggling: "I'm asking about your attitude."

"I fall in love with you, and you will reject me?"

Tong Beibei took a bite of the apple, and made a crisp sound, which fell in Qin Ling's ears, like a judge's hammer held by a judge on the trial bench, following the words he heard next, it hit the ground again and again. His heart.

"I will refuse."

"I do not like this."

"I don't like it very much."

"You mustn't, I will be angry."

"Maybe I will divorce you."

clean it.

Qin Ling, who left for more than an hour and claimed to go home to accompany his wife, went back and forth.

Not only did he return, he also asked the bartender to serve a glass of alcohol with a low alcohol content in a muffled voice after sitting down.

Chu Huaiyan turned his head: "What's wrong?"

Qin Ling didn't say anything, but after the bartender put the mixed wine on the bar and pushed it over, he picked up the wine, stretched out the wine glass, touched him directly, raised his head after the touch, and drank it all in one gulp.

?

Chu Huaiyan: "What are you doing?"

Qin Ling raised his head and finished drinking, and put the cup on the bar counter with strength.

He stared straight ahead expressionlessly, and with a chill all over his body, he said in a deep voice, "I'm broken in love."

"..."
