Chapter 54: All are masters of life
Wei Manwen had completed all the procedures and left the payment desk. She and Robben finally had space to stand together, but they didn't look like lovers. At this time, Wei Manwen was wearing a pair of washed white jeans and a cotton jacket with no style at all. The black jacket on Luo itself was worth more than 10,000 yuan...
Robben took off his jacket and took off the platinum ring on his fingers. He put these on my hand before whispering to Wei Manwen: "Follow me!"
Wei Manwen seemed to have no emotions. She shook her head indifferently and replied: "My parents are already on the way to the hospital. I will go back to Beijing with them, which is my home."
"Beijing is also my home!"
"Robert, we have hurt each other too thoroughly in our lives, and the one who is most sorry for is the other person... I have already told you very clearly last time. I don't want to experience the past, nor do I want to look forward to the future related to you anymore... Let me live my life peacefully, okay?... The man I need is not you, and the woman you need may not be me."
Robben's lips were trembling and unable to speak. I quickly said to him: "Teacher Wei, she is already married... You and Robben should have a lover in the end!"
"My decision has nothing to do with anyone... Live well! Robben, don't look for me anymore. We are not from the same world, not from before, nor from now on." After Wei Manwen said this calmly, she walked towards the exit of the hospital. Robben caught up with her, said nothing, and just followed her.
After walking out of the hospital gate, the sun was still gently scattered in every corner of the city, and Wei Manwen finally stopped. She was waiting for her parents. Robben looked at her earnestly and said, "I know that Zhou Hang just passed away. It is not practical to ask you to have a love immediately, so I am willing to give you time..."
Wei Manwen looked at Robben: "Talking about love?...Is this really important?...It sounds so pretentious!...What I want is to live, life."
"I can give you a life, too."
"Robben...I don't know how to explain it to you, but I really don't have any desire to live with you anymore! I beg you to let me go...I'm really tired!"
Robben stood there, and I was also shocked. Maybe it was because a couple separated for too long, and they experienced life and understood life. Many things could no longer be unified. For Wei Manwen, Robben had never changed. She had transformed from the uninformed girl many years ago to the current mountain village woman who had experienced the hardships of life and tasted the sadness of the world. Perhaps, except for the little pitiful love in her heart, she and Robben had completely lost any place to be unified. After rational analysis, they lived together too hard, and the so-called lovers finally got married and put on them, just a sad and unreal fantasy!
Yes! How could an artist live with a woman who came out of a mountain village? How should their values, worldview, and lifeview be unified? If you really try your best to re-work, it is better to see through the illusion of love and find a suitable person to live in. I think this is also the fundamental reason why Wei Manwen said over and over again that she is tired.
In a relatively speechless manner, a middle-aged couple in their 50s walked towards us. Robben's face turned pale. I had guessed: The person who came was Wei Manwen's parents, otherwise no one could have such a big impact on Robben. Also, they really had the temperament of a scholarly family. Unfortunately, they were reading the books of sages, but they did an extremely stupid thing with the feudal thinking of being a good match. They destroyed the love between Robben and Wei Manwen, which was originally enduring and would have a result.
Wei Manwen's parents have come to us. Wei Manwen seems to be a subconscious action. She approached her parents and stayed away from Robben...
Wei's father held Wei Manwen's face in both hands, and couldn't help but burst into tears. He choked and said, "Manwen... I have suffered for you all these years. It's because my parents are too selfish. I think I hope you are happy from your perspective, but I force you to embark on a thorny road... We should repent to you!"
Wei Manwen had no tears. She shook her head without hatred and said softly: "Dad, you don't need to feel guilty. It's because my daughter used to be too unsighted and too rebellious."
Wei's mother also grabbed Wei Manwen's rough hands and sobbed, as if the sunshine in the sky could not resolve the sadness imprinted by time. Until Wei Manwen wiped away her tears for her parents, until she whispered: "Dad, mom, take her daughter back to Beijing. I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to stay by your side... Please accept me! Forgive me!"
Father Wei and Mother Wei hugged Wei Manwen tightly, but Robben suddenly cried bitterly. He seemed to complain to them in a voice from the soul: "Why... Why did you force us so much? Why can't you give me some patience and even a chance... You dislike me as a musician, without money, without social status... But now I have money and status, but I can't get anything... Can you tell me what I did wrong? Give me an answer and an answer!!"
Father Wei and Mother Wei lowered their heads. Robben's emotions were out of control. He took back his jacket from my hand, took out several checks from it and raised them in his hand, and whimpered, "Did you see it? This is a check worth 150,000 yuan, and it is my reward for doing a commercial performance. This is the salary I received as a music producer, and it also has 100,000 yuan. If I want to, I can do dozens of such commercial performances a year...I want to ask you, is this enough money enough to support a family and support your daughter?...Why can't I give me a little chance and a little time?...You guys say, why?...How many people have you tragic for a stupid decision? Have you seen it again?"
Wei Manwen looked at Robben and replied with a terrible sense: "Robben, don't blame my parents. We did too many things at that time. If I didn't insist on coming to Suzhou to find you, endure loneliness and wait for you in Beijing, maybe, in a few years, you will stabilize your life and come back to find me again, it would be a good story... If you are not optimistic, act smart, and act in that drama with other women in front of me, I will not leave, and I will not suffer from depression after returning to Beijing... It's because we ourselves are too wrong, so I hope you can love a life with a generous heart, which is the best way out... I wish you happiness, happier than me! Goodbye!"
After Wei Manwen said this, she took her parents to the place where the taxi was parked. Robben gritted his teeth and looked silently until the taxi disappeared from our sight. He finally sat on the ground in a collapse, then kneaded the check in his hand and kept repeating: "Why...why...why...why?"
......
Three days later, after the memorial service, Zhou Hang's ashes were sprinkled into the sea, and Wei Manwen quietly followed her parents back to Beijing. She did not give Robben any chance. She heard that she married a divorced university professor in lightning, and then she also found a job as a teacher, continuing the glory of her scholarly family... And this is the final outcome of her story... Unfortunately, I was not fortunate to meet her again. I don't know if she still lives in hidden dangers or is completely happy after choosing again! But the only thing that can be sure is that Robben will always occupy the most secret position in her heart, and gradually become dispensable!
How sad this is! Even Zhou Hang did not understand the truest thoughts in Wei Manwen's heart, so he used his last strength to entrust Wei Manwen to Robben, but it was a waste of time. This woman was unwilling to be dragged down by life anymore. She finally made a bold choice for the lifestyle she wanted!
But my happiness was truly presented to us. She gave birth to a fat boy weighing more than 7 pounds on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I experienced the most special New Year's Day in my life. This morning, amid the sound of firecrackers, I kept guarding her bed with her husband Yao Di.
Her body is so good. After giving birth, she still talked with us for a long time. She and Yao Di had some differences over the child's name. Finally, I said to them with the principle of turning big things into small things: "In my opinion, there are just a few principles to give a name to a child. First, it should be easy to talk, second, it should have a certain commemorative significance, and third, it can facilitate others to remember. Of course, the third point is the most important, because it will help him become an outstanding person like me! ... Haha!"
Because Yao Di didn't know me well and didn't know what kind of routine I was, he said to me sincerely: "Brother Zhaoyang, then please give us a name for this fat boy."
I thought for a moment and said, "This fat boy was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year. I simply called him Yao Chuyi. It is casual, memorable and convenient for memorization. If you calm down and feel it carefully, you will find that this name has a little literary and fresh taste!... It's really good!"
After exchanging a look, he actually nodded in agreement. Perhaps this is related to their relatively casual and free personality. So I believe that this fat boy named Yao Chuyi will definitely live carefree in his future life, because his name is so irresponsible. So in response, he should also have a personality that is not bound by responsibility and burden!
In the afternoon, Robben also came from Beijing and met after he came back... because in this misty forest of life, everyone had already made their own directions.
Just when we were having a hot chat, in the rest room, when she took off her mask, Robben asked in surprise: "Yang Youqi, why are you here?"
Not only was Robben surprised, we were even more surprised, because this woman named Yang Youqi is a female singer in the music industry. She has won several heavyweight music awards in just over a year since she debuted. Her father is a big-name music producer in the music industry, and her mother is also a music professor at a well-known music school. She can be said to be a big-name female singer with a strong reputation!
Yang Youqi smiled at us and said, "Hello, friends of Robben... Let me introduce myself. My name is Yang Youqi. Luo Youqi is my music producer. We already met before he went to the United States! I admire his musical talent very much!"
"Oh...!" Everyone made a sudden realization.
The situation in front of us no longer needs to be speculated... Because no woman will come to find a man for no reason on the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and bravely face the man's friends.
I have to sigh at the power of time. It seems to waste us, but it gives us many opportunities for rebirth... On this day, we welcomed a small life and saw a love with similar interests sprouting...
At this time, Le Yao...isn't it. It was Xiao Yao. She and Cao Jinfei also came here and Yao Di... After that, Xiao Yao (please forgive me for not being able to call Xiao Yao smoothly). After that, Le Yao and Yang Youqi were also surprised. One of them was a big name in the film industry and the other was a super rookie in the music industry. They actually met in a small lounge because of such fate... So after they greeted each other, they started chatting in a rather speculative way.
I am still not used to the environment where there are too many people, especially when they are paired up, so I quietly left the lounge and stood by the window at the end of the corridor and lit a smoke that could burn loneliness... I remembered Mi Cai, and many people who are no longer by my side but have lived well...
I have some insights. In fact, life is not that complicated. We will suffer because of choice and be reborn because of choice... And a true life expert must be someone who dares to choose, such as Wei Manwen, Jian Wei, Le Yao...
And what about me? I am not a low-key person in life. I still persistently choose to wait for Mi Cai... She should come back, she should really come back!
I really longed to let her see how gentle the sunshine is in the winter after she left, how frequently it shines in this world that needs warmth!...
As for time, time has changed a lot, but for us there is nothing... We have never held each other's hands and mouths, nor have we seen each other's bright smiles. We only know that she is like a fish in the business field where we are good at, and I am walking on the road of literature and art in the four seasons!
