【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

"She's better at having fun than me." After saying that, Pin'er took out an envelope from her bag, which she had specifically asked the waiter for at the French restaurant to contain the photos.

“Grandma, these are the pictures we took today.”

Yuanyang hurriedly took out the glasses from the glasses case and handed them to Lady Jia.

Grandmother Jia opened the envelope and found two neatly stacked small square photos inside. She picked them up and looked through them carefully.

"When you go out to play, take more pictures like this for me. I love to see them. I also want to go out to play, but my legs and feet are not so good that I can't do it anymore. You guys should take advantage of your youth to see the world."

Holding a headshot of the two of them, Grandmother Jia said:

"Give me this one. I'll keep it and put it in my big photo album."

"Grandma likes to pick out a few more photos. Tomorrow you can dress up and we can take some headshots. Shui Rong bought me a Polaroid camera today, so I can take photos anytime."

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, go take a shower and have some rest!" Pin'er then said good night to her grandmother and went back to her room.

As soon as Pin'er returned to the room, Xiangyun came back.

"Where did you go to play?" asked Pin'er.

"It's so boring. He actually took me to the ghost market." Xiangyun pouted and threw down a bag.

"Then why are you back so late?"

"I also wanted to come back early, but he actually wanted to take a walk with me, which made me walk a full kilometer. Here are the little gadgets I bought. If you see any you like, keep them and play with them." After saying that, Xiangyun seemed to have run out of energy. She slumped down, took off her clothes, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Pin'er was very interested in the bag, as if the things inside were waving to her and saying: Come and see us!

Finally she opened the small bag, which was filled with all kinds of things: colorful beads, antique folding fans, and butterfly specimens. Among the beads and hairpins, Pin'er also found a large golden unicorn, which looked much larger than the one Xiangyun wore in her previous life, and even larger than the one Baoyu left for her.

"Pin'er, come and take a bath." Xiangyun called her, interrupting her thoughts.

Pin'er walked into the bathroom, and Xiangyun was washing her hair:

"Where did you go tonight?"

"We went to a French restaurant, and then he took me to see Finding Nemo. He said we saw the marine animals in the morning, and we would review what we learned in the morning in the evening." Pin'er said as she washed her face with facial cleanser.

"That's so boring. He really is treating you like a child."

"By the way, I left a lot of delicious food for you."

"I'd better eat less. I'm not like you: you don't have any fat where you should be thin, and you have just the right amount of fat where you should be fat. I only get fat in my belly and face."

"Shui Rong also hopes that I can gain some weight."

"Yeah, most men will say that. But when you have a belly full of fat, they'll start to dislike you."

"Really?" Pin'er quickly touched her flat belly.

"You don't have to worry about those things. You are different from ordinary girls. As long as you are healthy, it doesn't matter if you are a little fat." Xiangyun comforted her.

When she returned to bed, Pin'er called Shui Rong:

"Aren't you asleep yet?"

"Waiting for your goodnight call!"

"Goodnight call?"

"Didn't you ask me to teach you how to date? Dating means sharing your daily life and remembering to say goodnight every day. Slowly, you and I will become one."

"Sharing daily life? I just went to share my daily life with my grandmother." After saying this, Pin'er also laughed at herself.

"Yes, I understand you perfectly. That's what love is like. I really want to know what you've done, what you've thought about, and what you're going to do. I want to know everything about you."

"I understand!" Pin'er's thoughts drifted away again. She almost forgot how she fell in love in her previous life. Did she want to share her daily life? It seemed not. Could it be that she really didn't know how to fall in love?

No matter how hard I try

Still can't keep you

A little bit of laughter

At this moment, I can only recall

Leave me behind mercilessly

Crying eyes in the wind

Farewell to yesterday's love

Maybe I shouldn't have used love in the first place

Now there will be no more infatuation

Destiny

Why bother to sort out right and wrong?

Late at night, in the office of the general manager of Hanhai Culture Media Company, Wang Xifeng sat in her office chair, with a half-drunk glass of whiskey in her hand. On her computer was Jacky Cheung's concert version of "Should Not Use Love".

Secretary Xu Ping knocked on the door and came in:

"Mr. Wang, I haven't contacted Mr. Jia yet. Otherwise, I'll take you home first!"

"You've stayed with me so late. Bring me a glass and have a drink with me!" Wang Xifeng looked at her with tears in her eyes.

Xu Ping walked to the wine cabinet, squatted down and took out a mug from the cabinet below. He walked over and picked up the bottle and poured a glass of wine, and then filled Wang Xifeng's glass with wine:

"Mr. Wang, happy anniversary!"

Wang Xifeng's tears had not yet dried but she was already smiling. She picked up her wine glass and clinked it with hers:

"Sit down and drink."

Xu Ping finished drinking before sitting down on the chair opposite.

"In fact, I have already warned myself countless times not to have any hope in him."

"Mr. Jia may be busy with something, and his phone may be out of battery." Xu Ping comforted her.

"I don't ask him to respond to everything, but when I've accumulated enough disappointment, it's time to leave." Wang Xifeng looked at Xu Ping, but her eyes were empty.

"Don't think like that." Xu Ping comforted again.

"You know what? Before I married Jia Lian, I discovered that he was unfaithful to me. But at that time, the two families had already set a date for the wedding. I thought that since so many relatives knew about it, I had to get married. In fact, I was the one who reconciled with him later. I chose this path myself. On the day we got the marriage certificate, I was very happy, but as soon as I walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, he said: A friend was waiting for him, and asked me to go home by myself."

Wang Xifeng took another sip of wine and continued:

"What I hate most about him is that he knows I will be angry if he does this, but he still does it anyway. When Qiaojie celebrated her birthday at noon, I reminded him that today was our wedding anniversary and asked him to call me after he was done. He agreed very well, but the phone was not connected at six o'clock. If he could have told me in advance if there was something, I would not have waited for him. Why does he always give me hope and then let me down?"

Xu Ping stood up and walked to Wang Xifeng.

"I want to hug you." Xu Ping squatted down and half-knelt on the ground when he said this. He bent down and hugged Wang Xifeng.

"Thank you, I always make excuses for myself and always hold on to hope. After today I will change my ways." Wang Xifeng wiped the tears from her cheeks.

Xu Ping knew that he could not help her except hug her with heartache. Although she was very sad at the moment, Jia Lian would find an excuse to coax her tomorrow, and today's incident would be forgiven, and she would fall into an endless vicious cycle again.

They drank a few more glasses, and when they saw that it was almost time, she asked Xu Ping to take her home.
