Rhododendron Day
white swan
Smoke filled the whole White Swan Bar.
I have heard of a place where all the people sitting here are lonely people.
You can't believe how many lonely people there are in this city.
Teahouses, theaters and parks on Sunday are nothing more than happy people dragging their children and beating drums for a day.
Only here can you see the happiness of ordinary people.
All the people sitting here are sad people through the ages, and they drown their sorrows in wine.
This is my second visit.
All the people who come to the White Swan are single and have no company. If they want a company, they will look for it here temporarily.
Not long after sitting on the small round table, I ordered a glass of wine and someone accosted me.
"hi." The man said, "Can you sit down?"
I knew at a glance that he had no intention. Although he is a man, I'm afraid he has more female hormones than I do.
I motioned him to sit down.
"You are so beautiful!" He immediately praised me, "Can't you find friends outside?"
"I just came to see."
"This completely different world!" He whispered, "Our greatest pleasure here is evil, but outside, even if we fight, we can see the sun."
"Really?" I said, "I don't understand you."
"We are people abandoned by heaven," he sighed deeply. "Here, a man and a man, even if they are loyal to each other, can't get the sympathy of the world, but outside, the abnormal relationship between men and women with three wives and four concubines can be strongly recognized-it is also illegal, but the layman's eyes are different."
I smiled, and he was speaking for himself.
I said, "Why should you care what others say?"
"So, I'm going my own way. I'm lonely."
"Who is not lonely?" I reminded him, grabbed the wine and gulped it down.
He didn't answer, just tilted his head and looked preoccupied.
The pianist is playing a tune and humming that famous song-a kiss is just a kiss, and a sigh is just a sigh ... when the light dies. "
He raised his head. "My name is Johnny, and you?"
"Lily." I smile.
"You don't look like Lily." He said, "Why are you here?"
"Talk to someone, stay at home all day, and your mouth stinks."
"Have a husband? ! "
"yes."
"He doesn't go home much?"
"Yes, everyone is familiar with this story," I still smiled. "Not only did it happen to me, but there were also complaints."
"Really, the husband is having an affair, there is nothing to argue about. Either divorce or swallow it. Do you belong to the latter? "
"Yes, I can pretend that it never happened." I made another glass of wine.
"Does it hurt?"
"No, just boring."
"You can drink very much."
I smiled again. "You are a very interesting person. What do you do? "
"Civil servants." He blinked.
I looked up and smiled. I really laughed, not faking it.
"Do you really want to know?" He asked, "I'm a writer."
"Writing a novel?" I'm a little surprised.
He didn't answer me. Suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he saw his prey. I looked into his eyes and saw a handsome and tall young man come in.
"I'm sorry." Johnny immediately stood up and turned away.
I sighed, monsters, all monsters.
I am one of them myself. There are many disgruntled women here. They all wear gold and silver, showing off their property intentionally or unintentionally, hoping to attract young men.
Poor thing, all poor things.
We never dare to appear in the sun again. The world in Bai Tianming is no longer ours.
I'll have another drink.
I'm so bored, day after day, I can't think of a way out.
Just as I was leaving, someone came over and said, "Do you mind?"
Why would you mind? Why do you mind coming here?
I looked up. It was that handsome young man just now.
God, what a surprise.
I suddenly became nervous.
He seemed to be an old hand and immediately asked, "Do you want to go out?"
At this time, the music became crazy and deafening.
I nodded.
He paid the bill for me and put his hand on my elbow. We left the White Swan, and all the women around us gave me envious glances.
I'm at the end of my rope. I'm not going to be wrong all the time. I didn't come to see it. It adds a ripple to my depressed life for no reason. I decided to go out with him. He looks very gentle. I'm almost drunk, and I have the idea of giving up on myself.
What's the loss? My husband doesn't love me, and I don't love myself.
In the street, the air is fresh in the middle of the night, and we stand by and watch the sea.
He asked me, "How did you get to that place?"
I laughed, "me? What about you? Why did you go to that place? "
"Find an object." He said.
I won't call. After a while, I said, "Are you seeing someone?"
"The female companion outside is too long-winded. If you don't come, you will wear masks one by one. Why? I don't want to marry them and live with them all my life. Why bother? White swan is the best, no promise, no tomorrow, no hypocrisy. "
He was right, too.
"But it's dawn, and you'll never find the man yesterday."
"What's the relationship? The night will come again and I will find my partner again. "
"Do you feel safe?"
"People who come to the White Swan have long lost their sense of security."
That's true. Like me, what sense of security do I have?
"I feel like a moth to a fire."
The young man smiled. "You are still so naive to use the sentences in the new literary novels."
I laughed too.
"You are a little interesting." He helped me comb my hair. "And she is very beautiful. She shouldn't play the white swan. "
"I am also knowledgeable."
"I see through it, but that's all." He said.
"What's your name?"
He was surprised. "Why do you ask the name?"
"I'm sorry."
"You are really different."
I'm a little embarrassed. Hold hands.
"Where to?" He asked tentatively.
"I want to drink a cup of coffee."
"Coffee?" He seems to have heard the most interesting thing.
"What do you want? Jump into bed at once? " I asked, "I won't do that. I won't waste your time. You can also find a bed partner before the white swan closes. "
He stared at me. "No, it's you tonight. Come on, I'll go for coffee with you. "
"Thank you." I said.
"I hope you will change your mind." He said.
We found a quiet place and sat close together like old friends for many years.
I didn't order coffee. I keep drinking.
"Do you like brandy?"
"Let me check out this time." I don't know his financial situation.
"Never mind, I can afford it."
I'm a little stable. I was lucky enough to meet a gentle young man today, but there is often a wolf hidden under the sheepskin, which is hard to say. But what does it matter? It makes no difference whether it is a wolf or a tiger.
"Very unhappy?" He read my mind.
I nodded.
"Why?"
"The same old tune, my husband is not good to me." I said.
"Look on the bright side." He handed a cigarette.
I shook my head, he lit one and took a sip carefully.
I knew at once that this was no ordinary cigarette.
I said regretfully, "You are only in your twenties. What are your eternal troubles?" ? Smoking this stuff is bad for your health. "
He laughed heartily and kissed my hand deeply.
"You sound like my mother. I have never seen such a lovely person as you. "
I thought sadly: out of date, I am out of date.
"I came out to play." He pointed at my nose. "You too."
"Really?" I asked, "Are you really happy?"
"No more unhappy than sitting at home." He thought about it.
I had to smile bitterly, so did I.
Everyone has a bitter story and he doesn't necessarily want to tell me.
He looked at his watch. "At two o' clock in the morning, you are not tired. Do you want to find a place to have a rest? "
I shook my head. "I didn't wake up until seven o'clock in the evening."
"Why is the day before? Play mahjong? "
"No, just sitting at home drinking."
"You will be an alcoholic, the most beautiful alcoholic."
"I often think, just drink to death." I said, "It's no use. I know that many people in this world are suffering. Children in Africa don't even have enough to eat. We who are full of warmth and lust are not even as good as pigs and dogs. My heart is so depressed that it seems to explode. It is because of the wine that my spirit has not collapsed. "
"You need to talk to someone." He said, "You found it. Tomorrow, you will not be so lucky. I will give you a warning.
Never get in a stranger's car, or you will be scolded. "
I got a cold war. "I'm leaving."
He grinned and had good teeth. "Stay with me. Don't be afraid. I won't force you. "
The world is so unfair, what does it matter if men come out to have sex? Lose a little money at most, but can women be like men? I really doubt it. If you don't do it well, your life will often be in danger.
I shouldn't have come out for a ride. If you really have no patience, taking medicine to commit suicide is simpler and more refreshing.
I said, "I'm going back."
"What, did I say something wrong?"
"No." I apologized. "I feel a little sick. I want to go first. "
"I'll see you off."
"No need." Never, never tell him where I live.
"Why are you suddenly afraid? Did I remind you? "
I don't make any noise, stand up.
"I'll call a car for you." He said.
He called a tram for me and I got on it. I didn't say the address until the car drove away.
I fled and ran home, hoping to see my husband come back and wait for me anxiously.
It's early morning, and it's dawn.
There is no one at home except the servant.
The old servant is cleaning, and it's a little gratifying to see me back. She greeted her. "Would you like breakfast, madam?"
I asked her, "where's sir?"
"Didn't come back."
I sat down. "Give me a glass of orange water."
I am exhausted.
I fell asleep on the sofa.
A residual face.
Wake up at night, look in the mirror and get a fright: This woman, so haggard, who is it?
Not long ago, I was a flower.
I asked, "What about sir? Is Mr. Wang back? "
"I came back to change clothes and went out again."
"Come back for dinner?"
"There is entertainment, don't come back."
"Did you say when you would come back?"
I told you not to wait for him.
I haven't seen him for a long time. I come back at eleven o'clock every morning to change clothes, go back to the company after changing clothes, and then go straight outside. I'll never see him again.
Even if we meet him while changing clothes, there is nothing to say, or we can dig at each other. We didn't argue at all.
This is how our relationship continues?
I can't imagine.
I said to the maid, "I'm going out to wash my hair."
You have to decorate yourself. I had a massage, washed my hair, had dinner, came home and looked as if I had recovered my level. When there is sunshine, it will never belong to me.
When the phone rang, I poured wine and watched TV for a while.
I'll get it. That is a strange woman. "Ha .............................................................................................................................................................., she laughs like a witch.
"Who are you?" I asked, "Who are you?"
"Your husband doesn't love you anymore. He doesn't go home every day. Why don't you divorce him? "
I'm shocked. Who is this?
"You are so cheap, men don't want you, you still stay in his house. You are a parasite. Even if someone steps on your head, even if the man makes you mean, you still dare not move! "
I snapped down the receiver.
I was shaking with anger.
The phone rang again, so I ignored it and poured a large glass of wine.
The phone rang again and again, and I answered it angrily.
"Who are you?" I asked her.
The woman was still laughing wildly, so I had to wait for her to get tired of laughing.
I said, "I won't divorce. I won't do what you want." No matter how much you despise me, you are still my husband's mistress. What's the difference between a wife and a wild woman in this society? It's up to you. If you are willing to be my husband's concubine, you can kowtow to me and call me madam. I'm not getting a divorce. You don't have to laugh anymore. I think you are crazy! " I hung up the phone.
To keep quiet, I unplugged the phone.
Who is to blame?
Blame yourself, blame your husband, blame other women.
I drank a full glass of white wine, put on my favorite evening dress and opened the door and went out.
The maid caught up with him. "Madam, it's so late. Where are you going without rest? "
I gave a wry smile. "I can't sleep, I can't eat. I'm going out for a walk. "
I drove my own car, and subconsciously, I came to the White Swan Bar.
Go in and have a drink.
I'm half drunk.
"hey!" Someone greeted me.
I seem to see an old friend, "great writer, Johnny, how are you?"
He sat down in front of me with a smile.
"There you go again," he said. "Here, you can meet the person you want to see. You won't feel lonely or get used to it. At this time, you will be eager to move? "
I have to nod.
"People are social animals after all, and there are not many lies here."
I smiled at him.
"Yesterday, you left with Billy Zhou. Did you have a good time? " He said mysteriously.
"Billy Zhou, who is Billy Zhou?" I'm at a loss.
The boy's name was Billy Zhou yesterday?
"You are so confused." Johnny complained, "What, you asked him out again today?"
I smiled, noncommittally.
I didn't come to wait for him. I just want to leave the home that doesn't feel like home, avoid my troubles and avoid the crazy phone calls of those women.
It would be better if I could meet him, but I won't be stupid enough to wait for him.
Johnny, talking to me is enough.
"What about you? Are you waiting for him? " I asked some very naughty questions.
Johnny's face turned red.
"Tell me, what do you write about?"
"If you are willing to tell me your story, I can write it."
I smiled. "I have no story."
"Everyone has a story."
"It's just that I'm too monotonous to write about."
"You and Billy Chow-"
"We only had one cup of coffee."
"He will come again today." Johnny said firmly.
I had a drink and felt very drunk, but very comfortable. I stretched and leaned back in my chair.
Johnny said, "You are really a beauty."
I covered my face and smiled. He didn't see me when I got up, but it's certainly not bad now, because now his face is covered with tons of powder. Just pull a woman on the street, put on heavy makeup and wear an evening dress designed by a famous designer. They are all charming beauties.
I didn't say anything.
I want to come here every day, where people respect me, no more than at home, when my husband tramples on me as garbage.
"A woman like you should be cherished like a pearl."
Whether it is true or not, I am moved to say, "Thank you, Johnny, thank you."
[See * * *, why thank you? "He said.
I think he is very realistic. People here are a hundred times cuter than people outside.
Maybe they are just cute at night and fight during the day. They also have enemies.
This is, of course, a place completely divorced from reality.
"It's my treat today." I said.
Johnny roared, "Lily invited a circle today!" "
Everyone gathered around to thank me and I was very excited.
When has anyone ever paid so much attention to me?
Now there are so many people around me, talking to me, laughing with me, cheering together and drinking together. What else do I want?
I drink to them.
"Welcome Lily to the White Swan!"
"Welcome to be one of us."
Someone put a hand on my shoulder and I turned around.
"Billy," I'm a little happy. I seem to have known him for twenty years.
"It seems that you are very happy."
"Yes, I am very happy."
"No longer nervous?" He asked, "No longer afraid that I will plot against you?"
I patted his hand and asked him to forgive.
He sat next to me and said to me, "In the White Swan, we also have a set of rules. Don't worry, thieves have their way, and we will be good to you. "
I believe.
Several women cast envious eyes on me, and I was relieved.
Drunk, really drunk!
Billy asked me, "Do you want to go out for coffee?"
I shook my head: "I'd rather sit here."
"Are you here to wait for me today?"
I wholeheartedly: "No."
"Won't give me a little happiness? You woman. "
"Here, no one is worried about unhappiness." I said.
"Really happy?" Billy suddenly asked me.
"Don't care too much, just muddle along." I'm not drunk enough to faint.
"Let's go out for a walk. It's noisy here. " Billy said.
"I think it's too noisy here." I won't move.
He and I came to White Swan for different purposes. He will choose people, and I will take advantage.
"I want to talk to you." Billy said.
The tone was already imperative. I was unhappy and broke his hand.
He suddenly became angry. "Get out!"
I looked up. "What did you say?"
"I told you to get out!" He obviously drank a lot, too
I retorted, "Why should I listen to you? I don't know you. "
"You don't know me?" He pulled me up. "I spent too much time on you."
Everybody calm down and watch him pull me up from my seat.
I am half awake and open my eyes to those who were friendly a minute ago.
Just at the critical moment, someone came and said, "Let her go."
Billy turned around. "Who are you? Mind my own business! "
"I am her husband."
I looked up in surprise. "Lin Xue!" It's really him. It is really my husband.
I only heard Billy Chow sneer. "There is everything here, except the husband who can't find his wife. Stop joking. Who dares to touch the woman I like in Zhou Bili? "
"Learn the forest!"
"Stand behind me." Lin Xue said.
Billy Zhou pounced on him and was quickly dodged. Immediately after the attack at 56 o'clock, two fists hit his face, and Billy Zhou's mouth immediately oozed blood. He retreated to the bar, gasping for weapons, and Lin Xue took advantage of this gap to pull me up and leave.
I ran out of the road and jumped into the car. Lin Xue immediately started the engine and ran several red lights.
I cried with joy: "Learn the forest."
He sighed and held me in his arms. "It's my fault."
I said, "No, it's my fault. Will you forgive me? "
"I beg your forgiveness, it's true."
I fell on his shoulder and sobbed.
"You didn't go to that place?"
I won't say anything.
"That Zhou Bili is a famous prostitute in that area, and his men control many women." Lin Xue said, "Who do you think he is?"
I fought another cold war.
"There are many women who have been photographed by him and have to obey him. Do you think there are good people in that place? "
"How did you-how did you get there in time?"
"I heard that you have been here, and told the servant to keep an eye on you ... it's as simple as that."
"You, you still care about me?"
"After all, we are husband and wife. Even if we break up, what good will it do me if you fall? "
I calm down.
"I think we should also talk about our relationship."
I am depressed: "It's hopeless."
He nodded: "Let's break up, at least we can both start a new life."
"I don't want a divorce."
"Are you willing to do this? Divorce can calm down. "
I shook my head: "I am not reconciled."
"I am for your own good, I can't leave the divorce. It doesn't matter to me at all, but your life is so depressing that I feel very sad in my eyes. "
"Do you still care?"
"care? If I didn't care, I wouldn't have been almost killed by that Zhou Bili. "
I am silent.
"Can't be husband and wife, can also be friends. Maybe we'd better be friends. " Lin Xue sighed, "after breaking up, you have your own world. You can find a job and study again ... there are still many good things waiting for you to do. "
"You remind me of the story of eating goods to persuade me to hang. Looking at it in the rope circle, the future is so bright, so my body is fooled. "
"Do you really think I want to cheat you into getting a divorce?"
I hugged him and said, "No, Lin Xue, you're right. If I drag on, I will only drag myself to death. Let's separate. "
He was sad, too.
He said: "People are born lonely and have to rely on themselves. The disgruntled women in the White Swan Bar can't save themselves. "
Lin Xue said, "I'm sorry."
"Rome was not built in a day. Do you really believe that I am right? "
"No matter what happens in the future, don't go back to the White Swan Bar."
"No, absolutely not."
We both went home, as if we had met before.
Breaking up in the end is a wise choice.
We are interested in contacting lawyers who have learned to be calm after sitting for a long time.
"Let's get together these days." Lin Xue said.
"Lin Xue," I said, "will you date me after separation?"
"Of course." He was surprised: "Why?"
I cried.
How hard it is to save myself, but my life is still long. I have to do this and leave the White Swan Bar.
Is this ok? I hope you don't accuse me of infringement. I only picked a few articles.
