The Pentium Era - South to North

It was the first month of the year, and there were still several seafood stalls open in Omi. The weather was cold, so I ordered Tan Shuzhen’s favorite steamed swimming crab. Manager Mao suggested drinking some wine, but Tan Shuzhen didn’t refuse. Manager Mao asked the boss to bring two bottles. Add rice wine, heat, add shredded ginger and eggs, and serve hot.

Jiafanjiu is glutinous rice wine, which has the function of harmonizing the blood and promoting Qi. It is not as irritating to the throat as white wine. People in the troupe usually drink Jiafanjiu, including Tan Shuzhen’s father, Lao Tan, who used to perform in the background. Put an enamel cup of wine with rice. Before going on stage, he is used to opening the lid of the cup and taking a sip of wine with rice before serving. He told Tan Shuzhen, otherwise he would feel short of breath.

When President Mao ordered this drink, he could tell that he wanted to protect Tan Shuzhen. Tan Shuzhen thanked him for his kindness in her heart.

Although the alcohol content of this wine is not high, after heating and adding shredded ginger and eggs, the heat is very high. After a while, the two of them felt hot all over the body, and the weather was not so cold anymore.

Tan Shuzhen's face turned red, and while she was talking and smiling softly, she looked at Mr. Mao. His eyes were bright and talkative, and he looked particularly charming, which made Mr. Mao's heart tremble.

It was past ten o'clock when they came back from their late night snack. As usual, President Mao asked the taxi driver to go to Hubin Road first. After he got off the car, he took Tan Shuzhen to Qunying Hotel.

When they arrived at the lakeside, President Mao got out of the car. Unexpectedly, Tan Shuzhen also got out of the car. Tan Shuzhen and President Mao said, "We have eaten too much. Let's take a walk to digest."

This was the first time Tan Shuzhen asked us what to do, and President Mao was overjoyed.

It turned out that when they were together, President Mao always asked him to go here and there in a consultative tone. Tan Shuzhen either nodded and agreed, or said no, or said nothing and followed President Mao.

Tan Shuzhen has never taken the initiative to propose something, and she also added one of us, which made President Mao feel that the relationship between the two people has become closer.

It's past ten o'clock in the winter evening, which is already very late. Especially in that era, when the brightness of the city was not as high as it is now, as soon as nine o'clock passes, people will feel that the whole city has dimmed, and those who are still walking on the road People will involuntarily speed up their pace and rush home.

There were almost no people on the edge of the West Lake, and the wind was freezing, but it was just right for two people who had just drank hot wine and were feeling hot all over.

The two of them were walking by the lake. President Mao leaned towards Tan Shuzhen intentionally or unintentionally. Tan Shuzhen did not shrink to the side habitually. This made people subconsciously think that her body was the same as his own and was no longer suppressed. , but longs for openness and acceptance.

President Mao touched Tan Shuzhen's hand with his hand, but this time Tan Shuzhen's hand escaped.

Although the two people were filled with emotions, they didn't know what to say. The two stood by the lake and silently looked at the dark West Lake in front of them for a while, then turned around and walked silently for a while. Tan Shuzhen pointed to the flower bed next to it. A terrazzo chair said, let’s sit for a while?

President Mao said yes.

Tan Shuzhen was struggling in her heart. She didn't know if it was because of drinking. She felt that the atmosphere and state of the two of them were very good tonight. At such a time, it was very suitable for her to have a good and formal talk as she had prepared. Talk without hurting the peace.

Therefore, when President Mao got off the bus at Lakeside, she got off the bus without thinking. After getting off the bus, she suggested taking a walk. After walking, she suggested taking a seat.

President Mao was very close to her, and she did not avoid it. That was because she did not want to ruin the atmosphere between the two of them. If both of them were alert and could not continue to maintain such a relaxed state, the conversation would become stiff and they would not be able to reach each other. Tan Shuzhen has a good talk about the purpose.

From the bottom of her heart, Tan Shuzhen still has a very soft part, a little sympathetic and pitiful for this man. Really, at this time, in Tan Shuzhen's eyes, President Mao is not President Mao, but a man, one of the many men who admire her. Tan Shuzhen has been in the eyes of such a man for a long time, and she is even used to it.

This man was so painstakingly trying to please himself. In order to get him, he almost gave up his own dignity. His purpose was so obvious and his methods were so clumsy. Tan Shuzhen looked at it and felt a little funny and a little pitiful.

No matter what, there is nothing wrong with people liking you.

Tan Shuzhen knew that her next conversation would be a blow to this man. As if subconsciously to balance it, Tan Shuzhen did not refuse him to get close.

But if her hand is held by him, it will give him a wrong signal. Tonight, the relationship between them will not be officially established, but will be over. Tan Shuzhen's nerves will be tense instantly.

Just like that night, in the darkroom in Jinbo, for a short period of time, Tan Shuzhen really felt that her heart was melted. Her heart had been wrapped so tightly that it had a shell, but the lingering and tenderness in her heart was Tenderness is still there, she is also a woman, needs love and needs to be loved. This need will often be transformed into a natural physiological reaction.

At that moment, Tan Shuzhen really just wanted to open herself up freely. What a pleasant tenderness and enjoyment it was. It was not Jin Bo who was looking for her. Tan Shuzhen felt that it was herself who was involuntarily looking for the blurry figure in the dim light. man.

If he had not continued to move and stayed still, Tan Shuzhen felt that the night might have been over. She would not stop. She would continue to search and explore him until her breathing became short and she released all her tenderness and sweetness. .

That night, it would really be the end.

But he was too impatient. When his hand reached out to unbutton her, it was like a switch that clicked on. All the dim and fuzzy things became clear in that moment, and the entire real world became clear. The crowd came, and the rational Tan Shuzhen also came back. She slapped the other person and rushed out of the door.

Everything between them ended here. When Tan Shuzhen was rational, she was very decisive, even a little cold, and would not leave any room for the other party to change.

Tan Shuzhen and President Mao sat down on the chairs.

Two grown men and women each have their own families. When talking, in addition to talking about things in the workplace, they will naturally talk about their own homes and children. Tan Shuzhen is not the kind of person who likes to talk about others behind their backs. , especially when talking to President Mao, it would seem like snitching, and Tan Shuzhen was naturally very resistant to such things.

When talking about the work, and it doesn't involve people, there isn't much to talk about. Most of the topics between the two of them revolve around themselves.

Tan Shuzhen spoke less and listened more. President Mao kept chattering that as long as a man is given time and necessary space, he will show his misery in front of the woman he likes. This is a man's way of showing his misery to the woman he likes. The way you pray and show your love, I am so pitiful that I need you to open your heart.

Women always like hard things, such as men's shoulders, and men always like soft things, such as women's comfort.

They talked about Huang Linghua, and President Mao sighed. He said that when you are young, people are always blind and will pursue things that are not actually important, such as status and future. For this, you will do whatever it takes. , really, I will even betray myself, that’s what I am, don’t laugh.

But when I reached my current age, I realized that those things were actually illusory. Having a home where you can stay comfortably and being with a woman you like is the most important thing, really. My wife and children are hot on the kang, but my wife is not warm. No matter how hot the kang is, my body is scorched, but my heart is still cold.

Tan Shuzhen's heart skipped a beat. She felt that President Mao was also talking about herself, wasn't he?

Tan Shuzhen felt a little pity in her heart, not only for President Mao, but also for herself.

"Are you and Sister Huang really that bad?" Tan Shuzhen asked.

"Do you think she will get better?" President Mao asked back.

Tan Shuzhen laughed softly. This smile was an expression of understanding, so there was no need to say more.

"Don't look at me, I look like a dog during the day, and I walk by one by one. My hair is long and my hair is short. It seems that my hair is omnipotent. But when I get home, I stand on the balcony and think about what to do next. There are still decades to go, and my heart is filled with darkness, and I even have the thought of jumping off the balcony, really."

When President Mao said this, his voice was a little low. At this time, he was very eager for Tan Shuzhen's hand to reach over and hold his hand, but he didn't.

President Mao reached out and held Tan Shuzhen's hand.

Tan Shuzhen was stunned for a moment and put her hand in President Mao's hand, as if to comfort her. She paused for a while. When she felt that the other party's body was about to move, she immediately woke up and withdrew her hand. He gave way to the side.

The movement was subtle, but the meaning of rejection was obvious. Manager Mao used so much force that his punch hit the cotton.

He froze there in embarrassment.

"Elder brother, I have something to say to you. I hope you will listen and not be angry, okay?"

President Mao said yes.

"I'm very grateful to you for recruiting me to the bank, and thank you for always taking care of me. You are a good person, really." Tan Shuzhen paused and continued: "I know you like me, but I want to be with you What you said is that it is impossible between us."

"Why, am I older than you?" Since the words have been opened up, there is nothing to avoid, President Mao asked.

"No, senior brother, I can't say that I like you, but I admit that I don't hate you either. This has nothing to do with age. The difference between us is only a dozen years. If we really love each other, it doesn't matter. ? What I said is impossible, let’s put it this way, if you don’t have a home and I don’t have a home, I think there will still be various possibilities between us, but now, it is absolutely impossible.”

"I can get a divorce."

"But I won't divorce. As long as I'm not divorced, I won't do things that are unfair or unclear. As a person, whether I do things or be a person, I just like it. It’s refreshing, I hope you can respect me, okay?”

As Tan Shuzhen spoke, she looked at President Mao. President Mao looked at her and hesitated to speak. Tan Shuzhen said:

"Besides, you can't get divorced. Don't lie to yourself. As long as Sister Huang doesn't want to divorce, you can't get divorced, right? You actually know it very well."

President Mao was silent for a while and sighed.

"Eldest brother, I respect you very much. I think the relationship between a man and a woman, to put it harshly, is not just about sleeping together. I don't have a brother either. I hope you can always be my senior brother. , okay?"

Tan Shuzhen looked at President Mao and said sincerely that President Mao looked at her speaking eyes and found it difficult to refuse.

He sighed and said, "Okay, I know what you mean. You mean, we can't be lovers, but we can be confidants, right?"

"I can say that, do you agree?" Tan Shuzhen smiled and looked at him mischievously, and President Mao nodded.

"Okay, that's settled."

Tan Shuzhen breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up and reached out to President Mao. President Mao held her hand, but in his heart, why the hell did he still have the urge to pull her into his arms?

The two people turned around and walked towards the Qunying Hotel not far away.

After having said the most difficult words, Tan Shuzhen felt indescribably happy and magnanimous in her heart, and her actions were not so rigid. When they arrived at the entrance of Qunying Hotel, Tan Shuzhen and Chairman Mao were still walking side by side.

On the contrary, Mao Xingchang shrank back.
