poppies in the attic

37.

The so-called "wouldn't fall in love with someone without any scruples for granted" meant that Xiang Jin would no longer accept ideas and sayings such as "Does there still need a reason to fall in love with someone".It is a ridiculously endearing privilege of youth.For a fully grown woman, this kind of thinking is only ridiculous, not cute, it is very absurd.

At this age, you can love anyone, but you can't love without reason.

In any case, today is not Wu Pengzhi's fault, and Wu Pengzhi should not be harshly judged, but should also reflect on himself.Wu Peng was inappropriate just now, could it be that he was inappropriate?

Xiang Jin can't use Argus' standards to demand Wu Pengzhi, and shouldn't expect Wu Pengzhi to have a high artistic quality.Although this is the trait that Xiang Jin desires.

It is completely understandable that Wu Pengzhi could not appreciate Xiang Jin's paintings 15 years ago. However, 15 years later, Wu Pengzhi's understanding of Xiang Jin's paintings is still at the level of "beautiful", which disappoints Xiang Jin.This was the reason why Xiang Jin's interest was waning just now.

Xiang Jin reminded herself to be tolerant, and she couldn't understand what Wu Pengzhi said.Everyone's understanding of this vast world is extremely limited.Can't be harsh on anyone.

"Then you come to my place, let's do it again." Xiang Jin replied to Wu Pengzhi's WeChat.

"Great, where are you?"

"Old place, do you remember the address?"

Wu Pengzhi replied with an emoji of fainting.It never occurred to her that Xiang Jin was still where she was.

When Xiang Jin watched the fatty black bear with plateau red fall down, he smiled.Replied one, "You are only cute when you are fat."

Wu Pengzhi didn't reply anymore, she was driving the speeding car.

Xiang Jin stood outside the house waiting for Wu Pengzhi, and opened the yard door for her.This made Wu Pengzhi flattered.

The appearance of the house has not changed, but the furniture has changed, becoming less, simpler and more refined.

Wu Pengzhi suddenly felt that Fang Ming was a very good man.The mistakes he made back then may really be forgiven.Rather, it was his own tragedy, too.Wu Pengzhi understood Xiang Jin's painting better, and also understood Xiang Jin's affection for Fang Ming.

They habitually come to the attic, neither in the living room nor in the conservatory, and the attic is the most comfortable.Because nothing has changed in the layout here, only new workbenches and chairs have been replaced.

"Let's do it again, where do we start?" Wu Pengzhi asked.

Without Wen Shaohui's dazzling presence, Wu Pengzhi regained his wit.

"Pengzhi, how are you doing?" Xiang Jin entered the scene quickly enough, and with a serious expression, he didn't even laugh.

"Not good. What about you?" Wu Pengzhi didn't need to change this line.

"It's not good either." Xiang Jin said seriously.

Wu Pengzhi immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"I'm not having a good time, but you are very happy." Xiang Jin's serious expression loosened.

"Anyway, you're sitting here now in good condition, with success and fame, and the bad things in the past are not so important." Wu Pengzhi said with confidence.

"It makes sense. Anyway, all the hardships I have suffered have been rewarded. Those hardships are not worth mentioning."

"No, no, I still have to mention it. Ah Jin, tell me about your hardships, I want to know." Wu Pengzhi really spoke eloquently.

"I lived in a basement for a long time and was hungry and fed, and I had another long time crying because I couldn't draw well, I was lonely all the time, and I was in a car accident and broke a rib."

Wu Pengzhi was dumbfounded, she never imagined that Xiang Jin's past 15 years were like this.Her heart ached.Even for the past events, Wu Pengzhi still felt pain.

Xiang Jin continued, "I also fell in love with a woman, but was rejected."

Xiang Jin stopped, and asked Wu Pengzhi with a smile, "Do you feel better now?"

"Not good. I take back what I just said."

"Take it back, do you want to do it all over again?" Xiang Jin asked jokingly.

"No." Wu Pengzhi looked at Xiang Jin resolutely, and said, "There is one more question, why did you leave without saying goodbye? If you let me stay by your side, at least the third and fifth items can be avoided."

"The third and fifth?" Xiang Jin had no choice but to stretch out a hand and began to snap fingers.She obviously doesn't remember words as well as pictures.

"It's loneliness, and being rejected by a woman." Wu Pengzhi felt that Xiang Jin's gesture of snapping fingers was cute, but she just wanted to say it, especially for the last one, and she felt uncomfortable again.She wanted to know what kind of woman that would make Xiang Jin take the initiative.She is not convinced.

"Most people can't support a painter, and the painter can only support himself by himself." Xiang Jin said.

"This should be your reason for rejecting me, not the reason for leaving without telling me."

Xiang Jin had to admit that Wu Pengzhi was actually very eloquent.

"I leave without saying goodbye for your own good. Sometimes, the more you explain to the other party, the more you insist. Once I leave, you can't talk to me, and the intense feelings will slowly disappear. I think, saying goodbye without saying goodbye is not A stupid way. Sometimes words can hurt more than things themselves."
