Beijing is the hottest in late July. Fortunately, the air conditioner is turned on low. Looking through the glass window, the men in the European-style lounge are talking loudly.
"We talked until very late last night, from Kant to Descartes, and then to the metaverse and virtual currency. I shared with her the love I had when I was 15. I said it was a rare moment of innocence in my life. In the end, we were both tired and curled up on the sofa to watch Rohmer's "Spring Story". When the man in the movie asked the woman: "Is it okay?", I also asked her, "Is it okay?" But I didn't give her a chance to refuse and kissed her directly."
The light shone on Yu Youyang's face, casting a clear shadow.
Yu Youyang's skin is a little looser than when he was young, but fortunately, it shows his temperament, demeanor and charm. His edges and corners are still stylish, his belly is flat, and his slightly receding hairline rounds his forehead. According to his boast, it is sexy in a different way.
Chen Zhuan and Chi Wei looked at each other, and they were used to this guy bragging about his love history.
Yu Youyang likes women. He is keen on having something happen with the women he likes. His figure, appearance, and hobbies completely conform to the stereotype of a scumbag in the world. However, he is not very harmful - he is open and happy about being a scumbag, and he has never bothered to hide it.
Chen Zhuan, Chi Wei, and Yu Youyang have been playing well since college. In addition, they all stayed in Beijing after graduation, and they would meet up every now and then. Now that they are over 30, people of the same age are either married or have children. Only the three of them are still in a semi-single state. In the past two years, they can call the other two people with just a phone call.
At this moment, Yu Youyang vividly described his romantic encounter last night. According to him, the other party was only 25 years old, with a great figure, fair skin, beautiful appearance, and good at dealing with things. One night made him return to the age of 18.
"You can understand, right? That taste... ecstasy!"
Chen Zhuan was distracted.
Yu Youyang continued: "I dated my ex for more than a year. After we lived together, even if she was naked and wandered around the house all day, I didn't feel anything. I really thought I was done for." At this point, he glanced at Chen Zhuan: "So! It's not that we are done for, it's that we are fucking old. I'm not bragging, when I'm 70 years old, as long as I'm still new, as long as I don't get married, then I, ha, am still a good man..."
Chen Zhuan glanced at him and lazily replied: "Vulgar."
"Hey, then what do you say is high-class?" Mr. Yu came over thinking of something, "By the way, your two-year contract with Sheng Yiqing is about to expire? No passion, right? Listen to me, don't renew it , change to a new one, I'll introduce you one."
Chi Wei couldn't stand it anymore: "Tell me if you are immoral, and you still hope that people will get divorced?"
"Can divorce be a bad thing at our age? ! "Yu Youyang glanced at Chi Wei and asked him soul-searchingly: "If you didn't get divorced, would you be able to marry such a good wife now? She is young, beautiful, and the key is that she only follows your lead!" After saying this, he looked at Chen Zhuan who was still absent-minded: "Do you know how amazing this grandson Chi Wei is? ! His clothes every day are matched for him by his wife the night before, and even his mother's socks and underwear are ironed for him. He also brought an aunt to cook for him every day! Chen Zhuan, you learn from me, I found that a wife should really be Find a girl."
"Then go find one yourself, don't drag me along." Chen Zhuan was too lazy to talk to him. He had a deep feeling a few days ago, so he leaned forward and said, "But I have a different understanding of love recently. A high-level thing really happened between us a few days ago."
"What? Wen fell in love?"
Chen Zhuan looked at him blankly, then looked at Chi Wei and said, "Don't we have a fixed date every Friday? The two of us take turns to choose a hotel, have a delicious meal together, and spend the night together. The next day, we go back to our own homes."
Yu Youyang, who was ignored, answered quickly: "I know that you two are called husband and wife, but in fact, there is no difference between you and regular sex partners. A week Meeting once, just for sex, getting married feels like having an affair, you guys are creative. "
"But this time is different." Chen Zhan touched his nose, "It was last week, we made an appointment at Marriott. As a result, I was very busy that day, and she was also very busy. From the time I entered the room until midnight, we were both on the phone and dealing with work, without even saying a word. The key is that she was wearing a... well, very special dress that night." As if remembering something, Chen Zhan curled his lips, "In short, in the end, we both fell on the bed after finishing our work, holding hands and falling asleep together."
"This... what's so advanced? "Chi Wei didn't understand-don't he and Qu Fanyi sleep like this every night?
"Hey, how are you? Newlyweds, do you want me to let you go home early tonight?" Yu Youyang turned the spearhead.
Chi Wei immediately shut up and leaned back on the sofa: "Don't ask me. I don't talk about this topic."
"Brother, you are a doctor. What's wrong with this topic? It's normal."
Chi Wei touched his nose, "No... I could talk about it with Lin Shan before. You know, this kind of thing is out of love, but now with Xiaoyi, it's... a little strange. We are a bit like teammates... It's good to live together. If you have to go further, I..."
"So you haven't... huh?" Yu Youyang was surprised and sat up straight.
Chi Wei didn't deny it.
"Then Qu Fanyi..."
Chi Wei didn't answer and said, "Change the topic."
They knew Chi Wei was conservative and always kept silent about this kind of thing. They had to turn the topic to Chen Zhuan again:
"Anyway, Yiqing and I seem to have never slept hand in hand like this. Except last time..."
"Are you sure it's not because of your health?" Yu Youyang smiled mischievously.
Chen Zhuan ignored him and continued, "I woke up once near dawn and found her lying next to me, breathing very lightly. But when I touched her face, my chest felt warm and I completely forgot about that. We booked a room for one night, not for sex, but to simply lie together and fall asleep. Isn't this feeling much more advanced than sex?"
"Brother, it's not that you don't want to, it's that you can't do it." Yu Youyang sighed and patted Chen Zhuan's shoulder sadly.
"Fuck you." Chen Zhuan put his hand away and shook the cup in his hand: "Seriously, this incident made me feel a lot - I thought at the time that this feeling was quite wonderful, and there was a sense of fulfillment. Hey, you two, what does the first night between a man and a woman where nothing happened represent?"
"I really don't know. If it wasn't for sex, I wouldn't want to sleep with any woman at all. Isn't it good for one person to occupy a bed?" Mr. Yu shook his head.
"Is that so? It's obviously more comfortable to sleep alone. I used to think so too." Chen Zhuan tilted his head and thought for a moment, deeply touched: "But that night, I suddenly understood the true meaning of the word "sharing a bed". The so-called husband and wife, probably, every day, at the moment when I am most relaxed, I hope you can lie next to me. It's good to listen to your breathing quietly."
The air was quiet for three seconds.
Chi Wei and Mr. Yu picked up the wine glass at the same time and took a sip:
"... So disgusting."
"Yeah."
It was almost twelve o'clock when Chi Wei got home.
He stopped in the underground garage for a while and began to calculate Qu Fanyi's sleeping time. She went to bed at half past twelve yesterday and eleven o'clock the day before yesterday-so at this point today, it is likely that she is very sleepy?
Chi Wei hesitated for a few seconds, pulled out the car key, and entered the elevator.
Of course, Qu Fanyi hadn't slept yet.
At this point, Qu Fanyi yawned all the time, but still forced herself to sit on the edge of the bed.
These days, she has read more pornographic novels than in her life. "Sex" is like a huge stone blocking her way to happiness.
A wife's life needs to be carried out step by step, but without sex, it means no offspring, and without offspring, she is a failed wife.
They have already obtained the marriage certificate, but the communication between the two people only stays at kissing and hugging. Fortunately, the conversation with Sheng Yiqing soothed her anxiety to a certain extent. For example, men are not so interested in women, and for example, is she not proactive enough? She took the problem on herself and clicked on Qiu Ning'er's Weibo. Teacher Qiu taught in detail, using various pictures to tell her how a woman should sit on it, how to twist her waist, draw the eight characters, and then move forward and backward. The line between the lower abdomen and buttocks swings softly like a willow in spring.
These days, she specially signed up for a yoga class and practiced flexibility for a day.
After dinner, she took a shower early, applying scrub, shower gel, scented essential oil, moisturizer, and finally perfume. Finally, she mustered up the courage to put on a lace suspender skirt bought from the store recommended by Qiu Ning'er, exposing what should be exposed and what should not be exposed. She dimmed the lights in the bedroom and only left a hypnotic candle on the bedside table.
The bedroom was carefully decorated as an aphrodisiac cave.
Will he be back soon?
The sound of the password lock being unlocked came from outside the door, the sound of the door opening and closing, and the man stopped at the entrance for a while. Qu Fanyi prepared her expression and quickly lay on the bed sideways, her body pressed against the bed, her curves like mountains, revealing an innocent and seductive body.
The bedroom door was ajar, and the footsteps were approaching little by little. Qu Fanyi's chest was heaving because of nervousness. Finally, the door was pushed open--
Chi Wei lowered his head, walked heavily, and didn't even look at her. He fell on the bed with a bang.
"?"
She froze and came over to push him: "Chi Wei, Chi Wei, Chi Wei..."
The man was like a dead pig, impatiently pushing her hand away and humming a few times.
"Chi Wei, Chi Wei, Chi Wei!!" She continued to shout, and was so anxious that she stretched out her hand to hit his face. Chi Wei ignored her and took it hard. Qu Fanyi was so angry that she simply pulled his ear and yelled at him: "You have to take a shower! You didn't even take off your coat, there are so many bacteria on your body! You! Are! A! Doctor!"
After a few seconds, Chi Wei finally responded lazily: "...Then help me take it off."
Help...him...take it off?
She froze.
"No, no..." Chi Wei realized something and subconsciously protected his vitals.
The next second, Qu Fanyi reached out to unbuckle his belt, but he quickly held her back after reacting.
The two of them were in a stalemate, with Qu Fanyi pressing against him with a cool and hot body, and a face that she would not give up, like ice and fire. Chi Wei swallowed his saliva and pried her hands apart, but Qu Fanyi gritted her teeth and touched her directly down. The two of them were wrestling with each other, and Chi Wei pulled slightly, and the fabric on Qu Fanyi's body slid down, sliding to his panic. She didn't care about herself and lifted his clothes. In the end, both of them were ragged, and Chi Wei was defeated step by step, falling into the panic of losing the city gate. Qu Fanyi took advantage of the victory and kissed him on the face.
In the end, they were entangled together.
Chi Wei had no skills and was more clumsy than expected. The shadow of the scented candle was shaking, and Qu Fanyi tried to feel it, but she still had no happiness at all, and everything was awkward. Chi Wei's kiss was simple and cold, like a machine completing a task, caressing the skin, only feeling pain. The room was too quiet, so quiet that it was a little awkward. Qu Fanyi even noticed that Chi Wei was a little nervous, like a poor performer, not daring to look at the audience's expression.
It was different.
It was completely different from what I imagined.
What was different?
The atmosphere, touch, and heart rate were all different!
Even its appearance was completely different from the novel!
At the moment of being honest with each other, she almost screamed: It's so ugly! Oh my god, it's really ugly!
Fortunately, the light was not too bright, and Chi Wei was shy, so he turned off the only desk lamp at the first time. The two people in the dark were flushed and panicked. His body was hotter than hers. Their skin was touching, and tension and fear occupied all of Qu Fanyi's thoughts. She regretted it, like an ignorant child, who triggered the mysterious mechanism out of play and accidentally released the ugly python.
She retreated little by little. She remembered that she went to see a concert with several roommates in her sophomore year, and after the concert, everyone squeezed into the Super 8 Hotel for the night. The small hotel was not soundproof. After nightfall, there was a sudden burst of fierce collisions and high-frequency screams from the next door. For a moment, everyone looked at each other. The slightly more mature girl was the first to react and covered her mouth and laughed. Then Qu Fanyi also understood what happened, and pursed her lips to dislike the woman next door for not loving herself.
"Every girl is a blank sheet of paper." She said at that time, "Purity is one of the best dowries for women. You should give yourself, like a blank sheet of paper, to your husband."
Why do you compare yourself to a blank sheet of paper? Your fate can only be painted by others? This world has created too many beautiful dreams for girls, wedding dresses, diamond rings, promises and vows, and hazy and heart-pounding sex... Marriage has become extremely sacred, tempting you to fall into it. And when the veil was torn off, Qu Fanyi regretted it now.
At this moment, she was like a sacrifice, passive, helpless, and trembling. Chi Wei's tall figure approached little by little, and she closed her eyes tightly, breathing rapidly.
Does it hurt?
Just bear with it for a while... it's no big deal...
"That..." His breath was hot, and his lips stopped at her ear, "I'm sorry."
"Hmm?"
"I, maybe..."
Chi Wei took a step back. He looked at her with a stiff expression, and sweat oozed from his forehead and nose tip probably because of the awkwardness.
His body was more honest than him, and he would never react to someone he didn't love.
"... It's okay... It's okay!"
She shook her head quickly and put her legs together. Chi Wei got up immediately as if he had been pardoned, found some clothes to put on, and quickly slipped into the bathroom.
When the dim table lamp was slowly turned on again, the two people had buttoned their pajamas to their throats. Qu Fanyi was dressed very conservatively this time, and the coquettish dress was stuffed into the trash can by her. They stopped looking at each other and lay down calmly.
On the two-meter double bed, two people lay cramped and alienated, back to back, with the intention of running away when disaster strikes.
The lights went out, and Qu Fanyi's chest felt stuffy. Moonlight shone through the gap in the curtains.
After a while, Chi Wei fell asleep quickly. His steady breathing was deep and shallow beside Qu Fanyi's ears.
She stretched her arm to reach the phone on the bedside table. The memo on her phone contained her life goals after graduation:
(1) To marry a rich, honest and high-quality man;
(2) To have an enviable proposal ceremony;
(3) To have an unforgettable first night;
(4) To have a sensational wedding;
(5) To have a lovely baby;
(5) To have a happy and sweet family for life.
Every time she completed an item, Qu Fanyi would take out her phone and make a small check mark on the memo. Now she has made three checks. But only Qu Fanyi herself knows the pain behind it.
What do you want? Qu Fanyi.
Every time she felt lost, she would ask herself - is it real? Or is it an illusion?
On the surface, she was the envied Qu Fanyi, living in her own ideal, but she realized that the ideal was not beautiful after she realized it. Life is always like this. Only after you get it, you will know whether you really want it.
She didn't know how to make up for her loss at this moment. She took out her mobile phone and checked the balance of her bank card. A long string of numbers became her only comfort. This was what she really got.
The 300,000 diamond ring money was transferred to her account the night before the proposal - Chi Wei didn't remember it until the deadline.
He didn't buy a ring. So he felt guilty and insisted on dragging Qu Fanyi out to choose a ring in the middle of the night. However, the mall was closed at night. The two sat in the car in front of the dark mall. In the end, Qu Fanyi comforted him, "Forget it, just take a toy ring. It's just a ceremony anyway."
"You don't mind?" Chi Wei pinched her hand guiltily.
"I don't mind. Originally, I was in charge of the proposal. It's normal that you forgot the ring."
"Xiaoyi, you are so nice." He lowered his eyes and stroked her hair. Qu Fanyi also lowered her head meekly and gently leaned her head on his shoulder.
"You don't mind?" Chi Wei pinched her hand guiltily.
"I don't mind. Originally, I was in charge of the proposal. It's normal that you forgot the ring."
"Xiaoyi, you are so nice." He lowered his eyes and stroked her hair. Qu Fanyi also lowered her head meekly and leaned her head gently on his shoulder.
After a moment, "That's right!" Chi Wei suddenly said, thinking of something, looking at her with burning eyes: "In that case, you can choose the ring yourself. My mother gave me a budget a long time ago, I will transfer the money to you! Pick one you like and report it to my mother when the time comes!"
...
It's not worth it to spend such a large sum of money to buy a small stone. At that time, she said to herself that it was not worth it, just keep the money.
In the dark night, the only thing that was shining at this moment was the screen in her hand, and her sorrow was hidden in the dark. She thought about it and sent a WeChat message to the salesperson at the jewelry counter: "I want to come and see the diamond ring tomorrow."
The jewelry salesperson replied quickly, and WeChat vibrated in the dark night: "Okay, ma'am, do you have any preferences?"
There must be something that can be held in the hand, right?
If men can't do it, it's better to choose diamonds.
"Big." The mobile phone screen was the only light source in the dark night. Qu Fanyi wrote down the requirements word by word, "The bigger the better."
