~ THE END of Epilogue 1 ~
Epilogue 2.1 : Cherished “First Love”
Zheng Xie’s first love came very late. Only in his sophomore year that he publicly acknowledged having a real girlfriend.
In view of his good skin, good net worth as well as civil and military qualification that are good, the so-called love came pretty late.
The reason is pretty general. He had been chased by girls from young until he have grown-up. So he was annoyed by them. Hence, he is not tempted at all.
Even Gao Mo Mo herself is very surprised. She felt that the heaven had drop a piece of golden pie for her.
Who is Zheng Xie? He had difficulty to remember the name of beauties. Even rejecting love letters from others. He actually took a fancy to her. It feels like the fairy tale Cinderella from Grimm’s stories. This freshman Gao Mo Mo, at a glance had a calm personality, average grade points and came from ordinary family…. Really a surprised to everyone.
Gao Mo Mo attracted Zheng Xie this way….
That year in school, the school welcomed a group of students whom were engaged in basketball. Zheng Xie was honored to be sent by the Student Union to coach the women’s basketball team.
Zheng Xie is a good coach. He have very little expression and almost no temper. In the face of the young chattering girls, no matter fat or think, he remain handsome and glamorous while treating them all like cabbage. Later, this cabbage team actually reached the final and won runner-up. Although it is runner-up, the girls college is rare and unknown. Their achievement broke many expectation.
At the celebration dinner, the girls finally stood up and lined up to respect Zheng Xie. Some even sang song for him.
When it is Gao Mo Mo’s turn, the usually shy lanky girl sang ‘Close to you.’ Her singing is adoringly horrible. But she looked very confident and there were pure enchantment too. A little tipsy, while singing, she said loudly into the microphone: “Brother Zheng Xie, today is my birthday. If I could make a wish, if it does not rain tomorrow, please come with me to the mountains to see the maple leaves.”
Everyone whispered and laugh together. They have long planned to tease Zheng Xie today. And this girl caught up in ‘Zheng Xie confession.’ Even Zheng Xie’s buddies whom were present were thinking, ‘I am afraid this child will now be included in Zheng Xie’s blacklist.’
But Zheng Xie reaction was beyond all expectation. He was silent for a second, and then very calmly spoke up: “The weather forecast this morning said, tomorrow would be a sunny day.”
So this was how Gao Mo Mo easily won Zheng Xie’s time to accompany her to see the maple leaves alone. And later, she became his girlfriend.
Unsuspecting girls were very flat. How come no such luck that would fall on their head? And those other girls were more jealous. How come it is not them who caught him?
In fact, in the relationship of male and female, there were a saying that human drinks water and, 冷暖自知. In the eyes of others, the radiant Zheng Xie will never be the same as someone else’s boyfriend. In the morning with a meal waiting in front for the girl, immediately after school will occupy a seat with the girlfriend.
冷暖自知 (pin ying: lěng nuǎn zì zhī) – know by oneself whether it is cold or warm
And he rarely smile, rarely speak. He cannot remember any anniversary. He does not fun and places with many people. He does not like to wait in line in any place and does not like someone standing close to him. He never takes the initiative to hold her hand nor say anything sweet.
But in addition to all these, Zheng Xie is smart, handsome and generous with good temperament with good background.
Although he could not remember any important dates nor her birthday, but often during the non-holiday season, Gao Mo Mo will received a variety of chocolates and expensive doll delivered by Zheng Xie. When she was ill, she will have a large restaurant takeout directly sent to the security room to be delivered to her.
Although he does not like foreign fast food but was willing to accompany her to eat KFC. But he will never line up but handed her the money and let her buy. Although he does not like shopping, he will never go shopping with her but he will be very generous and hand over his bank card for her to go and buy herself. Very occasionally, he even offered to take her to the ice-cream parlor or accompany her to watch a movie.
In short, Gao Mo Mo had always think that he had been perfect. She had been in an unreal state mind, living a day at a time.
Epilogue 2.2 : Cherished “First Love”
Towards the end of the year during the winter, one morning, without prior appointment, Gao Mo Mo appeared in the city where Zheng Xie stayed. On the way to school going through the city, she suddenly want to get off to look around.
She bought the evening train to return. Then she call Zheng Xie to try her luck.
She was lucky. Zheng Xie did not had to travel far. He was not even surprised. She made an appointment to meet at a place. Not a second late, he had appeared in front of her.
Zheng Xie brought her to the parking lot. He personally drove to pick her up. As a sophomore with a car, she is very surprised.
Zheng Xie open the car door for her. As she just sat down into the car, she heard a soft voice: “Hi, 姐姐”
姐姐 (pin ying : Jiě Jiě) – greetings for Older Sister
In the car, sat a little girl. Pale and slender with delicate features. Looking really small. She is looking back at her. She spoke with her hand pressing to half of her face.
Zheng Xie explained: “This is Xiao He He, my sister. Just half an hour ago, she went to the dentist. The anesthetic had not cleared yet.” The little girl nodded.
Gao Mo Mo said: “Hello. We have the same two names structure ah. How old are you?” She remembers Zheng Xie was an only child but she did not ask further.
He He made a ‘14’ with both hands. But she looks nothing like a junior high school students.
“Am I bothering with your plans today? I can actually look around myself.” Gao Mo Mo says politely.
“Nothing. The only task today is to look after this child.”
He He covering her half face that is still under anesthetic and mumbled: “I can play by myself. I do not want to be a light bulb.”
Zheng Xie said: “To be honest, you don’t even think about running around today by yourself.”
While Zheng Xie turned sideways to put on the seat beat, He He pulled her ears and stuck out her tongue, making a face at the back of his head. When Zheng Xie turned around, she immediately restored her cute look.
And then the three of them began the long tour for the day.
The first stop is Ocean Park. Gao Mo MO tried to go along with Zheng Xie in order not to lose sight of him. But Xiao He He looking around like a child, always stays behind.
Zheng Xie always stopped to wait for her. And finally pulled the strap of her bag, just like holding a puppy to get her firmly in sight.
He He this time resisted and said: “I will not wandered off.”
Zheng Xie said: “Recently, there are a trafficking group. Your look is very suitable to being trafficked.”
Gao Mo Mo is very surprised. Because when she went with Zheng Xie, regardless if two person or in a group of people, Zheng Xie always instinctively refused to be close to anyone. If she took the initiative to pull Zheng Xie’s hand, he does not throw her off. But before long, do not know when, she will discover that he had siphoned off his hand.
The second station is to eat. The location is….. KFC. Zheng Xie face is a little speechless.
When he asked Mo Mo, “What do you want to eat?”
Mo Mo said: “Anything. As long as it is convenient.”
He He enthusiastically said: “姐姐, do you like KFC?” with an eager look in her eyes.
Mo Mo carefully consider the situation a little. Although Zheng Xie does not like KFC, but apparently He He loved. So she said: “Well, then we have KFC for lunch.”
He He make the gesture of ‘YEAH’ with her fingers. Zheng Xie then poured cold water on her. “Where to eat has nothing to do with you. Your dentist says that you cannot eat at noon.”
He He said: “The doctor say that I can eat ice-cream at noon and drink iced drinks.”
Zheng Xie frowns at her: “Eating all these cold stuff in winter?”
He He said: “The doctor said, although I cannot eat, I also need to replenish my energy.”
“Then I will send you to get intravenous drip to replenish your energy.”
Gao Mo Mo was surprised. The Zheng Xie that she know, never continuously talk so much. He usually is quiet, not speaking too much.
When He He very generously took away two dollar bills from Zheng Xie’s pocket, she took the initiative and bounce off to queue. Much to Mo Mo’s surprised, Zheng Xie got up and pressed He He’s head. He told her: “Obediently sit down.” Then Zheng Xie actually took the initiative to queue up! This is the first time she saw Zheng Xie queuing! But to He He who obviously did not feel that Zheng Xie lining up to help to buy food is an honorable gesture, also become very picky: “I do not like milk. I want coke.” And continued: “I like chocolate sundae. I do not like the strawberry flavor.”
Epilogue 2.3 : Cherished “First Love”
The third station, to the mall. Zheng Xie waited patiently and review all the doll in the toy area. He He said: “I like the one wearing the yellow color clothes.”
Zheng Xie said: “The pink one is good. Wrap it up…”
He He said: “I like the yellow one.”
The sale staff asked: “Which one do you want in the end?”
Then Zheng Xie said: “Wrap both of them up.” Then he turned around and asked Gao Mo Mo: “Do you have any that you like?”
Gao Mo Mo is not used to this situation.
Passed through the gas station. Zheng Xie got off to refuel. Xiao He He had pro-actively went to sit at the back seat, giving the front seat passenger to Gao Mo Mo.
While waiting, He He had been playing with her new doll while gently humming a song. She sang ‘Close to you’ in a very fluent English.
He He found herself being watched and said frankly: “I am tone deaf. When I was in primary school, my music score had C. Brother taught me this song ten times a day, so that I don’t sing it out of tune. Then I was able to cope with the talent show.”
She saw Mo Mo keeping quiet, so pulled out from her pocket a beautifully packaged candy and handed to her: “Sister, do you like chocolate?” The package of chocolate is very familiar as well as the brand. He He showed Mo Mo the two dolls: “Sister, which one do you prefer? I give you one, okay?”
Gao Mo Mo said: “Your favourite is ice-cream, chocolate and dolls, right?”
He He thought about it and then said: “I also like to watch movies.”
Gao Mo Mo turn the women’s magazines, and read the emotion column that said: most hopeless wait, is not that he will never be as what you wish. But he obviously did it all, is not for you. The article is titled ‘shadow woman’.
Shortly after the start of the new semester, Gao Mo Mo requested for a break up.
Zheng Xie asked quietly: “Are you serious or joking?”
“Seriously.”
“Okay.” Zheng Xie said. He did not ask for any reason nor did he try to retain her.
Many years later, accompanied by her husband while attending a high business meals, Mo Mo met Zheng Xie. She instantly recognized Zheng Xie. But he took a long time before he could remember who she was.
She could then happily showed Zheng Xie her baby pictures. Taking the opportunity, she frankly asked him: “Why did you choose me as a girlfriend then?”
Zheng Xie gave her an answer that is no different from not giving her any answer: “Because at that time, I needed a girlfriend.”
Epilogue 2.4 : Cherished “First Love”
He He’s ‘First Love’
He He has always thought that her first love is Cen Shi. But in accordance to Zheng Xie’s psychological definition of ‘first love’, he has always believed that He He’s first love object is a man named Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo is a very talented young man. He had personally held calligraphy and painting exhibition as a teenager. Often, he leaves a little poem in the local newspaper in small text, so considered as a local minor celebrity. His writings are evil and sharp while his paintings are an alternative. But Xiao He He loved these so much.
When Zheng Xie was heading into his sophomore year that summer, the local television stations organized a month-long comprehensive profile talent competition show. This semi-celebrity actually participated.
Although in he is nothing remarkable in the eyes of Zheng Xie but in He He’s eyes, he is simply a man of God. This is because he is the highest scorer in the painting group, and in the dancing and singing group, he is the highest too. In the calligraphy group, he writes the best and also the most handsome. Moreover, this young man has a melancholy temperament.
He He become a fan of this person to the extend she watched the live broadcast on the TV daily. Once, during the broadcast, there was a sudden power cut. She cried anxiously. Zheng Xie thought that she thoroughly unpromising.
What more unpromising things is yet to come. She had phoned the television stations to protest the unjust judges. She make a total of two calls with the other call with her nose pinched to make it sound different. She even pester Zheng Xie to get her tickets to the live show while holding a handful of flowers for her idol.
Since Zheng Xie went to college, according to his request, He He wrote to him a letter every two weeks. It has to be handwritten and not less than a thousand words.
As he expected, the letter from home, the content is filled with Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo has a single out. The song is ………
Our family Xiao Mo has launched a new poetry and painting sets. The content inside are……
Our family Xiao Mo want to direct and act in a movie. The movie is about…….
Our family Xiao Mo…..
He He more and more daring behavior, later directly copy the text from Xiao Mo into the letter.
Zheng Xie finally became intolerable, and reduce her words requirement is reduced to six hundred words while warning her to not mention the name in the letter.
Still later, he began dating with Gao Mo Mo. As to how both of them had the words Mo, it is purely coincidental.
But Xiao Mo did not hit it big. He confidently invest in his own self-directed and acted in a small budget film. He was hit with a severe blow after the defeat, hence disappeared.
He He was sad after a while and then never mentioned this person again.
After many years later, when Zheng Xie went to the inland city for business, he found vicissitudes of a street painter that look very familiar.
He stopped and looked at him for a long time. He said to the people accompanied him: “This is a very talented people. But a little lofty. Mr Zheng, he is said to have come from your hometown.”
That time, Zheng Xie brought home a gift for He He. It is a very old poetry and signature collection as well as a small He He sketch figurine. The sketch is a picture of her college graduate who was found from the Internet according to Zheng Xie.
He He asked with a puzzled: “Who is Xiao Mo?”
Zheng Xie: “He is your first object of interest.”
He He: “Do not fool me. How would I do something so shameful?”
No matter how Zheng Xie describe her humiliating moments, He He refused to recognize any of them. But she very seriously kept the figurines on the desk and carefully read the Xiao Mo poetry set. And she felt that those poems are familiar.
Then, after 2012, in the entertainment field, there was a man with a melancholy vicissitudes that quickly become popular. He shot his own film, his own records and wrote his own script. He design his own style and was able to write very well. He could draw very well and was touted by media and the cultural circles.
His youth is emerging a middle masquerade that was depressed. And then the hard work of a famous battle to the legend with a concert and news feeds that was well written.
But artist like Xiao Mo are very low-key. In addition to the work itself, he rarely talked about his private affairs.
Until after a few years later when he was more popular, during a talk show, he said: “I want to thank you a girl called Xiao He He and her brother. During my lowest point of life where I completely lost the power of life, her brother met me on the street. He told me that many years ago, his sister was one of my fans. And he hope that I can continue to create good works. At that moment, I suddenly rediscovered the meaning of life.”
This is the most baffling accidental Zheng Xie’s charity that was completed.

“Cheng Shao Rong, this matter is to be kept in this room. If you dare to mention this outside of this place, I will end everything with you!”
Uh, “end” is too ambiguous of a word. Change it.
“If you dare to mention this incident later, I will tell your mother!”
Hey, it is not right. This is a trick that you used to use on me when we were children. Now this trick has no use. Change it!
“If you dare to mention this incident, I will report you to your troops for strong xx!”

Epilogue 3.2 : Special Accidental Episode
She resisted temptation so many time. Including those blue-eyed, green eyed, blond and brunette good looking guys. She observed this little reference to the thousands of words, even writing papers is not an issue. She studied so many portions of the X-Rated piece of postural aesthetics with unique and profound insights. She had illusion of the scene countless of times on how romantic it would be filled with ecstasy….
But now, even breaking her head, she could not remember anything about her first night.
In the gloomy morning bell, in the bathroom, the major G pitch continued to scream.
One will hold onto the seat.
Zhong Lian Chen had many ideas about her future. But the structure may not include the involvement of family interests. Those boring and shameless marriage or a child sleeping in the cot that resulted her in a marriage.
Of course, it cannot be avoided if the interest of the marriage. If she had to marry Cheng Shao Chen, she is tolerable.
Well, she was not so hypocritical. She was an honest person. Of course, that feeling is much better than ‘tolerance.’
But of course this is impossible. Because Cheng Shao Chen never take her presence more important than the laurel tree in the yard of his grandmother.
For instance, he will asked her two years after her junior high is over: “Little love, you have graduated from elementary school.”
Or after she had kept short hair style throughout the year, he would say: “Little love. When did you cut your hair?”
Not to mention that when she was fifteen years old, she summon the courage to seriously confess to him: “I love you, Brother Shao Chen.”
Cheng Shao Chen whom was intently watching the laurel leaves turned and looked at her: “Uh?”
Her crystal clear glass heart had crashed and broken into many pieces.
Although a few seconds later, her little brother Chen miraculously react that she had just said something. And then his reciprocity and casual answer to her: “Oh, I like you.” Then there are some additional conditions: “When you do not give me trouble all the time.”
Zhong Lian Chen innocent crush was never officially received in the field.
The only good news is that, everyone else call her “Little Chen”. Only Cheng Shao Chen called her “Little Love”. What a unique title. Although his intention is to no want their name to be mixed up.
But the sad past did not leave any psychological shadow on her. She happily flirt with variety of guys. Happy to talk about one after another love. But her heart is that the most superb guy must always achieve the following conditions: apathy but not cold. Slender fingers that can play musical instruments. Tall and think that is good in sport. Sound that is magnetic and cold with dimples when laughing.
Zheng Lian Chen’s love is just so boring.
Epilogue 3.3 : Special Accidental Episode
But she is being silly. She never had the fantasy to get together with this little guy, Cheng Shao Rong!
The degree of cousins’ genes should be high, but how is it that they are miles apart in their personality.
But why is the fate of such impermanence. She appreciate that Cheng Shao Chen, whom she see a few times throughout the year. And this contradict this Cheng Shao Rong, where he will appear just like the three daily meals in front of her.
This is because both of them grew up away from their parents. He lived with his grandparents while she stay with her maternal grandparents. In the courtyard, they happen to be comrades and also are neighbors.
So when her grandparents needs to be away and worried that nanny is not able to control her, she would often be sent to their home. So when the old couple is not home, without much financial concern, she was sent to the neighbor house. Often she treat her own home just like a hotel.
If it is not because of this reason, she would never want to be a close acquaintance with this guy, Cheng Shao Rong.
Cheng Shao Rong from his younger childhood days is just like a fine Swiss watch. He acts according to the set of tracks, not a second of bad move. Simply not a slightest error.
His love for the motherland, he is concerned about the collective. He highly respected his teachers and are united with his fella students. In one word, he is simply outstanding! In short, there is not a disadvantage as there are no mistakes. Just a boring guy.
Elementary school, he said: “Zhong Lian Chen, you cannot swear.”
Junior High school, he said: “Zhong Lian Chen, your skirt is too short.”
In high school, he said: “Zhong Lian Chen, girls cannot smoke.”
When in college…… luckily during college years, he was serving in the national service, so he is not around to control.
It is all to blame on him.
Three hours later, Zhong Lian Chen is already sitting on the southernmost tip of the aircraft. She needs to find a blue sky picturesque place to rest for a few days to steady her nerves.
She was spared too hurried, so forget the principle of gender equality. Should have talk less while investigating the charges in the five-star hotel room AA system problems.
But when she went, Cheng Shao Rong’s face is really ugly. If she re-tender the tender spot, she did not know if he would accidentally strangled her.
Her death is a small matter. But the hurt to the country pillar of culture, it would be such a waste.
Zhong Jia Zui respected elders commented to the junior: “Lian Chen, this child is very good-natured.”
We have no misunderstanding on the meaning of the old man. He was never concern about Zhong Lian Chen’s gentle and virtuous character.
The old man subtext: This heartless child. Intuit is not the same as other member of the family.
Zhong Jia Shi is a scholarly brother. A civilian with Confucian mind. He is very attentive and careful with all things except Zhong Lian Chen.
Ms. Zhong’s academic performance had in a year suddenly fell to the tenth place. It shocked the class. Only she nonchalantly said: “It’s all right. Next time I can rocket my progress.”
Ms Zhong learned dance for nine years before she managed to enter quadrennial competition. The day before, she fell and twisted her feet. So she lost the possibility of a huge chance to win. The teacher cried while she gladly said: “Oh hey! Thank goodness it is my foot and not my face. If it is my face, I would be too shameful to see anything.”
Her first boyfriend abandon her and left with her best friend. Her friends are very angry. But she look normal: “Fortunately he did not change his heart after I marry him. If that would had happen, my lost would have been big.”
Because Ms Zhong had this and other liberal-mind. So by the time the plan landed after over an hour, she had already got out of her frustration and the loss of virginity. With a light heart, she looked out at the clouds outside the windows.
Although she is not willing to admit it, but the process of less than melt. Cheng Shao Rong is indeed a very handsome guy. He is tall and good looking.
Rolled between the sheet with such a person, there is really no lost.
If it happens that he is a small person, so ha ha ha, but she had gained from it.
But, she is still troubled. She actually did not remember any details of last night.
It’s her body. How could she not have the right to know!!!!
Epilogue 3.4 : Special Accidental Episode
But Zhong Lian Chen can remember the incident from earlier.
In order to apply for a job, she had come to that city.
Her long-awaited work, which she had did a lot of preparation.
And now she was completely denied any adequate.
Zhong Lian Chen is not satisfied: “Give me a reason.”
Answer: First, Ms Zhong is too beautiful. Second, Ms Zhong net worth is too good.
Fxxk!
As the saying goes, bad. This is really the case.
Then, she met her former boyfriend in an upstart in a hotel, Xiao Ren Dezhi. He disgusted her for a long time. She had severe disorders aesthetics deep inside her.
If she wants to write her own memoirs, this man’s existence would be described as one that brought her a lot of pain.
She wandered at night on the bustling road. The sky suddenly without warning, began to pour rain. She promptly fled to the big hotel underground bar, semi-wet or drenched.
That ambiguous light bar psychedelic music. In order to warm her cold body, she ordered two glasses of spirits and drank them. Then she saw Cheng Shao Rong in the dim light.
Although they have not been too friendly over the past years, but they have also not formally met for many years. After half an hour, they relationship felt very cordial.
Zhong Lian Cheng pat on Cheng Shao Rong’s shoulder: “Yah, Rong er, it turns out to be you. A good boy like you also come to this place!”
Cheng Shao Rong dodge her little claws: “Zhong Lian Chen, you are still the same. Like this, how to get your married?”
Zhong Lian Chen hooked his neck and truffle his hair: “Oh, time flies. Our Rong Er has already grown up. I almost could not recognize.”
Cheng Shao Rong brushed her hand aside: “Zhong Lian Chen, men and women should keep a distance, do you not understand?”
So they separate themselves away by half a meter and continue drinking. There is no idle chat between them.
“Bachelorette should not come to this place.”
“You’re able to come to this place. Why I cannot come? Do not bother me. I am in a bad mood.”
“I am also in a bad mood. So you don’t bother me.”
Things that can put him into a bad mood must be interesting. Zheng Lian Chen love to play her nosy instinct. After an hour, she finally managed to dig out the reason. He just broke up with his girlfriend.
“Jiang Wei?”
“Correct”
“Wow Cheng Shao Rong. She had spent most of her youth years with you. You actually dump her.”
“She dump me.”
A good rejection. Zhong Lian Chen acclaimed in her heart. But with a look of compassion, she said: “Jiang Wei really did not know that you are such a good young man. Holding the flashlight, one also cannot find anything wrong between both of you. Could it be just a misunderstanding? Do you need me to help…..”
“There is no misunderstanding. She claimed that I am too handsome so she don’t feel safe. And she said that my family is too rich, making her depressed.”
Zhong Lian Chen spray the wine out while laughing. “Rong er Rong er, a few years not meeting you, you now have this sense of humor.”
As a result, a few minutes later, someone caused trouble in the bar. Gamba kick boxing. Cheng Shao Rong being a gentlemen guarded Zhong Lian Chen. She was holding the bottle of wine while lying on the shoulder of Cheng Shao Rong watching the enjoyable fighting scene: “Cheng Shao Rong, I bet that the little man in black will win.”
“You are thoroughly bored.”
“If he loses, I will drink this bottle of brandy.”
“Zhong Lian Chen, how come your clothes are so wet?”
“Aiya, stupid! Left hook, right hook!”
Cheng Shao Rong drag her towards the door while she glide her foot along the wall: “You are so naïve. How can you be so childish! Go and shower and then change your clothes.”
Well, her pale memories stop here.

Epilogue 3.5: Special Accidental Episode
Second – Blow up a little difficult
Zhong Lian Chen under the blue sky and fine white sands waves resort and have a leisure tour around it.
Occasionally out of boredom, she would try again to recall the supposedly counted as one of the hallmarks of her life. The scene from that day!
Although her character is habitually careless, but no matter how much, after all, she did inherited her family point of being careful. She also have good thinking genes. Very occasionally, she will also have the research spirit.
She just grabbed her hair while thinking about that day. Ah thinking about it! She only vaguely remembered her tugging away on Cheng Shao Rong. And then they tugged back and forth. And then…… screen is blank.
However, according to her understanding of Cheng Shao Rong over so many years, as well as a profound understanding on her own, plus she is said to have a very good logical reasoning ability, there is no obligation to infer blame. The happening probability distribution are as follows:
Cheng Shao Rong rape her: 5% (or less)
They cannot help and lost themselves: 0%
She rape Cheng Shao Rong: 95% (or higher)
This conclusion really shame her.
But, Cheng Shao Rong is a strong and healthy guy whom is also a taekwondo master. While she is a weak current woman. Her sports scores never pass the edge of the struggle….. then how could she be such a genius, could have made him into submission?
She is able to think openly person. But she cannot stand the problem with no solution. She could not think of an answer and that resulted her into headache. So she makes up a few scenes to comfort herself.
Assumption 1:
Rong Er – Come on. Drunk is a solution to unhappiness. Once you are drunk, you will forget everything.
I will have 1 glass and you have 3 glasses. Why? Because you are a man!
Finger guessing game! Who cheat you… you go and find a witness!
Then, her bad mood melt away after being drunk.
She would then have the best of intention to help him take off his clothes. And then she looked at the sleeping half-naked beauty in front of her. So……… (leaving the omitted part to your discretion)
Assumption 2:
Cheng Shao Rong, let’s wrestle!
Okay, okay. I know. Let’s do judo!
You need to give way to me. Why? I am a woman!
The very gentlemanly Cheng Shao Rong give in a lot to her. She finally pressed him below her body. Her disgraceful because of this hard-won victory got carried away. Dancing, dancing and dancing. Suddenly dizzy, she fell…..
Cheng Shao Wong, why you press me?
Don’t allow me to move? I am bias! I move, I move move move!
Ha ha ha… how red your face is. Cute! Yeah. Let me squeeze. Pinch me, I will squeeze……
She touch left and right, pinch and finally……..(leaving the omitted part to your discretion)
Assumption 3:
Hide the face. Too unbearable. The image is too detrimental!
Epilogue 3.6: Special Accidental Episode
Zhong Lian Chen nearly did not get any news on Cheng Shao Rong for nearly a month.
Although she does not want to get his message, but putting that incident aside, whatever the outcome, they are also considered refresher in the foreign land. He should also just check on her, right?
But thinking about it, it would be awkward if they are in contact. So it is better to just forget about the whole incident. Out of sight, out of mind. Cheng Shao Rong must also had the same thought.
In fact, when Cheng Shao Rong was away in the university, they have kept in touch.
He often handwritten letter and sent to her. Really old-fashioned.
The content of the letter are typically boring and serious. Just like writing a work report.
Such as:
“We run ten thousand meters every day with sandbags.”
“Last week, we train up the mountain. And we found a big python.”
“Someone cannot stand the hostel anymore. So he dropped out. Such a pity.”
Although these letters contain only few words, but being bored in her sophomore, his letter has become her most interesting reading materials. Showing her another part of the sky.
Of course, she rarely reply. Occasionally she will write one back. Lesser than his words.
“Ai, pity.”
“Good luck! Good!”
Later, on her third year, the schoolwork gets really busier. In college years, she sheep graze and overspend in blind love. So finally really neglecting their contact. Only when she returns to her grandmother’s place and he went back to his grandmother’s place, they would meet up and catch up.
Time ah…. From the time… the power of the most powerful thing in the world.
She kept his letters. When she discard waste materials and even love letters that she received from the beginning of junior high school, she only kept his letters.
This is mainly due to Cheng Shao Rong writing is very nice. The words are neat and elegant with demeanor generis. Back then, she thought, if one day she decided to practice calligraphy, it would be easier to practice according to his words. If according to those books, using his to practice makes more sense because those words in those books are very common, and do not highlight her unique taste.
As a result, Zhong Lian Chen forgotten about the whole thing. It was placed at the back of her mind until she received his phone call.
Cheng Shao Rong explained that he had not finished his vacation when he received an emergency call to go back to the troops to participate in a closed training. They were only allowed today to contact with the outside world.
Okay. Zhong Lian Chen admitted that she overestimated him. He is still a child that anilities prudish specimen type. No change at all.
They chat for a while. On the other side of the phone, Zhong Lian Chen hearing the sound of the breathing, knew that he was going to get to the subject.
Cheng Shao Rong halt and with little hesitation, finally said it: “Little Chen you…. Your body, all okay?”
“Uh, what does that mean?” Her momentary reaction.
“I mean….. you have not…..”
After a while, Zhong Lian Chen finally understand.
“Cheng Shao Rong, you mean, you did not take any protective measures?” Her forehead started to sweat.
“How would I know that that day I will…… I though afterwards you ……..” In order not to make things worse: “Not to mention the matter.” She percepts.
“I do not have experience! Why did you not remind me?”
“I am also not aware of the problem until a few days before…….”
Zhong Lian Chen back start to sweat. She grabbed the hair and try to recall her menstrual cycle’s dates.
She is done! She cannot remember. She has always not remember her own menstrual cycle.
She did not speak for a long time. In the phone, the little voice had a melting point of anxiety: “Little Chen, if you really have something, I will face it together with you. You do not keep it to yourself. And you make your own decision. If you want to keep it, then we immediately get married. If you do not want it, then you must let me accompany you to the hospital for surgery.”
Zhong Lian Chen cried out: “You better pray that I am okay, Cheng Shao Rong. Otherwise, you are dead!”
Yet another amusing incident.
Epilogue 3.7: Special Accidental Episode
Zhong Lian Chen realized for the first time the feeling of tossing and turning. Even the eve of the college entrance examination, she never felt such nervousness before.
She was holding on to get into domestic universities, therefore did not had to worry about going abroad.
She took a deep breath and started counting sheep. And then finally, she self-learn Scarlett anesthesia: “Cross the bridge when we get there!” When she finally recite for the 100th time, she finally felt asleep. In her dream, she see the doll that she trashed during her childhood climbing out of the rubbish bin. With his dirty face, he called out “Mummy, hug!” So she was awakened. The sky is already bright.
Then again, she found that the supposedly extremely worried issue that cause her ecstatic, in her muddled state of mind and anxiety, finally came. Her poor new bed linen.
Oh yeah! She is saved.
Zhong Lian Chen is so happy and started reflected her words and deed. She recalled the little attitude of Cheng Shao Rong yesterday that was really bad.
Conscience, she is the real victim here. If it is not because of meeting him, and he dead haunt her, nothing would had happen.
Zhong Lian Chen is something with not much principle and not an ideal girl. But Cheng Shao Rong is different. The incident between them would be considered a stain in his life.
Zhong Lian Chen remember that he seems to be having a difficult flight training today. She began to worry that if he is preoccupied, how dangerous it would be.
So she tried calling him to tell him and make him feel at ease. One, two…. Average one hour of calling him with no success.
This time she was really scared. If anything happen to Cheng Shao Rong, then she would be the murderer ah.
Fortunately, Cheng Shao Rong mentioned in the phone yesterday, MUST contact him no matter what happen. He said that since his phone is not easy to call through, he had left her with the phone number for the camp.
So she hastily dialed the number given.
Who answered the phone is unknown. He do not anxiously asked her questions. Then over the phone, she heard him speaking to through the radio: “Comrades. There is a woman looking for Cheng Shao Rong.”
She was embarrassed but at least she knows that Cheng Shao Rong is fine. Just that at the end of the training, he was called to the heads office.
“You are Jiang Wei?”
“No…..”
“Don’t be shy, sister-in-law. It is not who you are. Shao Rong hide you so tightly, it is only now that we could hear your voice.” She do not know this guy and the nonsense that he is talking about. Nor that she care if he recognize her. He talked for so long, not a chance for her to rebuttal.
The man finally gave her an opportunity to utterance and she said: “Nothing important. Please help me to leave a message to him. Tell him that everything is assured.”
She was about to hang up the line when another person pick up the microphone and said: “Ms Jiang, wait. We want to talk to you about instructor.”
The head hum is getting stronger.
She did not expect that it was a female instructor. Listening to the sound over the phone, sounded like a big sister figure who serious yes loving earnestness said to her: “Little Jiang ah, Shao Rong is a nice guy. You can encounter such guy, it is considered that you are lucky. You better cherish ah.”
“I………”
“Shao Rong these days have been depressed. When I asked him, only then he told me that you have broken up with him. Since you called, that means that there is an opportunity to turn this around.”
“In fact……..”
“We are all women. So I can understand your feelings. Separated in a distance far away, the opportunity to meet is lesser. And Shao Rong has a temper, and does not know how to coax anyone. He will not say sweet words. But look at the good nature of the man, good character is most important. Shao Rong coming from such family background, but he is not arrogance. As a man, he work conscientiously. He never philander and treat each women with polite and respect. A really good kid.”
“He……..”
“Now is the critical period for Shao Rong. He has an excellent opportunity waiting for him. If he drop off the chain this time, it would be a pity. You must be a good support for him.”
叽哩呱啦, 叽哩呱啦……..
叽哩呱啦 means jabbering away
She has been educated by this sister into the world of dizziness. She is afraid to say that she is not Jiang. If the instructor knew that she is the accidental flower that mess up with Shao Rong, she do not know if the instructor will climb over the communication signal line to strangle her.
Ai, why is life so frustrating.
Zhong Lian Chen after the morning of ideological and political education, she began to seriously carry out self-criticism.
She felt that she was being ridiculously too headstrong and too overbearing. If she did not have any temperament, then she would not commit such error.
Although she cannot remember the details, but the Great Wall cannot be built in a day. And Yellow River cannot turn yellow in one day. Certainly because her body have been hidden with depraved factor, so with the right temperature and humidity, then suddenly the ground-breaking germination.
Fortunately, the one she met was Cheng Shao Rong. If she met any bad guy, such as a liar, such as a triad, her tears probably could filled a lake.
To others, there is no problem. She confessed. But this time she had hurt others, harm others’ life.
Epilogue 3.8: Special Accidental Episode
Cheng Shao Rong is someone whom is very loving and loyal to love.
His first girlfriend was a girl with congenital heart disease from childhood. He met her in the hospital. For her, he abandon everything, giving her attentive care.
Back then everyone is young, so no one takes them seriously. Later, before the girl graduated from junior high school, she dies from the disease. Then he was seriously ill for a while. Later, he kept her picture with him all the time. And for many years, there have never been any girls beside him.
Uh, perhaps with the exception of her. Before they started dating, they had already the kind of relationship that eliminate the gender differences in purity and comradely friendship. That also includes the bickering defeating friendships words.
Jiang in fact is her high school classmates.
When they were in high school, she injured her legs. Jiang Wei home is closed to her home. Every day after school, she goes to her home to give her lessons.
Once in the evening, Cheng Shao Rong met them at the door. He said: “So late, it is unsafe for girls to go alone. I send you.”
At that time, Cheng Shao Rong is in third year, and is preparing for the college entrance examination. But he set aside time every night to send Jiang home.
That is how both of them met. Leisurely knowing each other, it is also almost ten years.
Zhong Lian Chen felt that Cheng Shao Rong is not a quitter. He liked Jiang Wei for so many years, he would not casually agree to break up. Sooner or later, he will try to get her back.
But now, she is really puzzled.
Cheng Shao Rong has high morale. He would not just meddle with her. Even now want to marry her without any love-base.
So, now he had already physically betrayed Jiang Wei. He would feel that he is not qualified to go back to Jiang Wei’s side.
Alas, she had spoilt the opportunity for this pair of lovers to reunite.
She was really ashamed.
Zhong Lian Chen felt tangled in the profound review of the feeling. It feels like back then when she was younger and was naughty. She took her grandfather’s precious goldfish out to play resulting in the death of the fish. Because the fish is dead, so she was ashamed. And this time…….
She was tangled and tangled before gradually falling asleep. Just as she was about to hit into the sleeping state, her Donald Duck ringtone sounds awakened her. It is Cheng Shao Rong.
“You were looking for me?” Cheng Shao Rong’s voice sounded a little tired.
“Uh. They thought I was Jiang Wei. I cannot refute. Fearing that it would not be good for you.”
“I understand. Okay. Thank you.”
“How do you know it was me?”
“She does not know this number of mine.”
Well, that of course. Cheng Shao Rong spent very little time at the base training when he and Jiang Wei broke up. She really thought too much.
“That issue. It is alright now. You can rest be assured.”
“I heard.”
“So……” Zhong Lian Chen racked her brain to find the most appropriate vocabulary: “We can now forget about that incident. Take it as it had never happen.”
There is no movement from the other side of the phone.
Epilogue 3.9: Special Accidental Episode
Zhong Lian Chen is an impatient person. The more the other party kept silence, the more anxious she become. She then said: “Cheng Shao Rong, we have grown up. No longer a child. We can be responsible for our own actions.”
Still there is no sound but she heard the other party gasp. Hey, seems like she did not express herself clear. She added: “I mean, I am now an adult. So I can take responsible for my own action. You do not need to be responsible.”
Cheng Shao Rong gently cough but did not make any sound. But the cough is very muddy. It seems that he is uncomfortable.
This really puzzled her. If he is standing in front of her, she would definitely go and smack him.
Unfortunately, he is thousands of miles away from her. It seems very fragile and low, so she had to have patience. She put in effort to bring out her motherly emotions: “Cheng Shao Rong, you know, uh. Moral and material contrast. Only substances basic only. The spirit is the most powerful. That is the general reason why we humans are different from animals. Because our spiritual strength are beyond theirs….” Her philosophy class scores are not high. So she is making herself dizzy first.
Here, Cheng Shao Rong finally spoke up: “What exactly are you trying to express here?”
“I mean. As long as our mind is pure, even….. even in physically……. No, I mean material things. Not so pure, it is excusable. If you fall into the mud, a dip into dirty water, coming out of the bath, you are still you. Nothing has changed.”
Hey, Cheng Shao Rong this guy may not talk much but his understanding has always been superior. He certainly understood what she meant to tell him. Although he derailed physically, but as long as the spirit of derailment…. He is still am highly qualified to return back to Jiang Wei’s side.
As a result, Cheng Shao Rong is even more puzzled with still no movement. Damn. She really want to flatten people.
Zhong Lian Chen thought for a few seconds and quickly come up with new arguments. She felt that if she had to deal with this daily, she can become education experts.
“Cheng Shao Rong, there have been evolution of times. A long time ago, men seeing women’s face is a crime. Have to marry her. Later, touching the hand is considered taking away the virginity. Our country in the ancient time, couples do not even kiss easily. But in the western social culture, kissing is the most basis touch.” She said haltingly for a while before saying: “Kissing is like shaking hand. Shaking hands is like seeing the face. So that men and women, in fact, in the final analysis, kissing and shaking hands is about the same thing. So what happen between us, is similar just different parts only. We really have taken this too seriously. It is so funny…. Ha ha ha ha ha ha…”
Silence ah silence. The atmosphere is so awkward.
Zhong Lian Chen is so depressed to the extend she wanted to cut the phone line and then pretending that she had drop the phone. As she wanted to do that, Cheng Shao Rong finally said something. The most words he had said today:
“Zhong Lian Chen, are you really a woman?”
Damn. She dug her heart out to try to comfort and enlighten him. And he even laughed and taunt at her. X your mother!
Zhong Lian Chen bitterly cursed in her heart, the curse that she never even dared to say out loud.
Then she thought. Mother Chen is a good mother and aunt. Why she scolded the innocent party? Corrections!
So Zhong Lian Chen curse again in her heart:
Damn. X you this Cheng Shao Rong bastard!
Epilogue 3.10: Special Accidental Episode
Third, Zhong Lian Chen’s house has an unwritten rule. When it is Father’s birthday, as busy as one can get, all family must gather to attend the birthday. Unless it is in prison, on the moon or on the battlefield, as far as one is, need to head back to celebrate Father’s birthday.
Zhong Lian Chen is a well behaved person. She came back three days in advance. Birthday celebration is over for a week already but she is still around. Her grandfather is very happy to see that she grew up sensible.
In fact, it is because she had not thought of a good place to go next.
Zhong Lian Chen had graduated for a few years already. She had done a few jobs too, none of which have been long.
On both side of her family, in this generation, she is the only girl. So she is well pampered by all party. Never intended to give any big push to her. So she is happily playing to her heart content.
She is not ignorant. Her grades are good and she also work hard. Just that………
Her first job was as a secretary. Once accompany the clients to the KTV to sing. They had a few drinks. In the corridor, the customers hugged her shoulder and pinch her face. Who would have thought that someone went to tell her cousin brother about it. So the guests and her boss had the misfortune while she was forced to resign.
Her second job is to run for approval. Once the information was not ready resulting in her being scolded. Really unfortunate, a cousin was also at the scene. Later, those who criticize her had to apologize to her in person. Then onwards, every day when she went through the door, countless strange look making her feel like she had been stripped. She resigned.
Her third job is to do sales. In the beginning, there were no result. Three of her cousin heard. They made a few phone calls to help her. So her business volume leaps and bounds and is ten times more than the second in place sales person. Although she was very motivated, although she also hopes to earn more money, but…… she quit.
Her fourth job….. her fifth job…. Forget it. Really unbearable memories.
So from then onwards, she became SOHO owners. Playing everywhere. Thanks to her cousins both maternal and paternal sides. All over the country she was well covered and protected. Should there are any difficulties, just look for these brothers.
Tired, she would write a travel guide and on shopping. And then take a few photos and email to her magazine editor friends. Sometimes, her work would be published. While those royalties are not enough for her extravagance, but always had to prove that she is self-reliant viability (as for those travel, lodging and meals expenses, these are negligible… hahahaha). Even had a brother chasing her asking her to publish a book, claiming that she will be a beautiful writer.
She fled.
That day, she slept in at home and only got up late in the afternoon.
She had stayed up all night the night before playing games. And now it is raining outside, overcasting the day.
Rainy days, it is a waste if do not sleep in.
When she woke up, she was feeling hungry. She got to the kitchen downstairs looking for something to eat. She heard the door open and while eating, heard the voices. Grandmother, mother and aunty are back from their shopping.
Going out to say hello, she heard her mother mentioned her name: “I think this trip home, Xiao Chen is so much quieter and well behaved. It seems that scouring girls will eventually grow up.”
Grandma said: “I don’t think she is well behaved. She must have been tired playing outside. So now taking a good rest.”
Her grandmother knows her the best! She had just wanted to greet them again when aunty said: “Xiao Chen is just like a tomboy running around. There are many boys around her constantly but there seems no one that is worthy to talk about marriage. She herself is not taking it urgently.”
Sigh. It is best that she don’t go out and spoiling the mood. Better to just sit quietly here.
Grandma said: “There is no hurry. Xiao Chen is still young. Let her be for another two years. We have protected and pampered her so well, who is willing to let her out and serve other man.”
Mother said: “We should first find a boy while talking with her. While we watched, it will drag on for a year or so. Then it would just be the right time to get married.”
Grandma said: “That is quite true. So that we do not lose the opportunity for the most suitable person to be taken up. Although there are many man out there, but there are not many that suit our Xiao Chen. Too prestige, afraid that Xiao Chen will have to face difficulty. If the threshold is lower than our home, afraid that she will have to swallow a lot of tough time. If the man at home is not as good as the woman, people will think that we have to force them to meet the eye and in the final analysis feels that we are mistreating them. The best is a good match with a good relations. Even if Xiao Chen makes any mistakes, they would not make things difficult for the sake of the old friends’ relationship.”
Mother said: “Based on what you said, then there is really no one already. Those better boys all already have their respective partners.”
Aunt said: “No. There is. The Cheng family, third son. The one that is a financial officer. From childhood, he had been a good boy. Xiao Chen grew up together with him. Their age are almost similar.”
Mother said: “You must be kidding. Xiao Rong have been with his girlfriend for so many years. According to his temperament, marriage between them is inevitable.”
Aunt said: “They have broken up. The news is absolutely accurate. I heard his aunt said. Xiao Rong admitted it himself. He would not make such joke. If he said so, then they must have really broken up.”
Grandmother said: “Then let them get together. Get the aunty to pull string. From young, I have had always liked Xiao Rong but looking at them for so many years, I do not see him with Xiao Chen. Who knows, how there are possibility of sparks between them. As I have shared before, your father and very much early on had share of heart but we went our separate ways. As the saying goes, distance makes the heart fonder. Maybe this time, they will see eye to eye.”
.
Aunt said: “I have done the initial work. Please do not worry. I had asked Sister Cheng to help to find out what Xiao Rong thinks. You guess what Xiao Rong says? He agreed giving Sister Cheng a shocked. And you know as the result what? Xiao Rong directly said that he is willing to marry Xiao Chen as his wife.
Grandma said: “I know that my view of this child is not wrong. Particularly from childhood, his taste and vision has always been steady. Very different from other children.”
Seeing how much grandmother is praising him, squatting the corner Zhong Lian Chen is covered with sweat.
Epilogue 3.11: Special Accidental Episode
Grandma said: Xin Er, you go through the almanac and take a look at the second half of the year and next year. See if there are any good dates.”
Mother finally spoke up: “We got to listen to the view of Xiao Chen right? If she create any havoc, it would be very embarrassing…..”
Grandma said: “I have watched your daughter growing up. I know here better than you. That little thing, from a very young age, have no backbone. Playing with her, you have to talk about policy along with caressing her hair. She is very clever. You provoke her a little, she will become anti-bone. One could see her from young, constantly arguing with Xiao Rong but not once really had a big argument with him. They get along pretty good. One is because Xiao Rong constantly without her knowledge, let her have her way. And she certainly did not hate Xiao Rong. This is the basic of feelings. So we just have to say the benefits of Xiao Rong in front of her constantly, as well as the benefits of this marriage just to brainwash her. Within a few days, she will agree for sure.”
So, her image in front of her grandmother is so bad. She cried.
Her grandmother is not part of any direct sales organization and ‘brainwashing.’ She cried.
Aunty said: “That is right. For Xiao Rong to marry our Xiao Chen the most crucial part if to get Xiao Chen to agree. As for Xiao Rong, we will always have a way to go and convince him. Xiao Rong can be naughty from time to time but he is cardinal and obedient. As long as he does not hate Xiao Chen, all can be arranged.”
Mother said: “Xiao Rong does not have any irritating qualification. For him to have a heart with Xiao Chen, it is much unexpected.”
These three women, completely treated her like an unsaleable goods ah….. really….. alas. Cannot blame the elders…. Unable to curse them in the heart too…. She simply could not bear it, need to vent her frustration on someone. Cheng Shao Rong then….
Cheng Shao Rong, you this prudish pretending to be a cabbage caterpillar big rascal!
After cursing a few times, she felt that her frustration is reduced. She pricked her ears to listen, the old women are gone.
She crawled out from behind the huge kitchen cabinets, moved her numb feets. She scouted around, really no one around. So she rushed back upstairs to call Cheng Shao Rong.
Anyway, she did not expect to be able to convince her mother, grandmother and aunty. They are determined to dump her to him. It is better to find a way out through Cheng Shao Rong.
This time, he actually picked up after a ring. She asked: “Where are you?”
Cheng Shao Rong mentioned a place name.
“Can you come out to meet up?”
He said that if they make agreement ahead of time, coming out for one hour is not a problem. I have a little favor to ask from you. (Of course, it is a small one, as it is only one sentence).
–Not urgent. We talk about it when we meet. (This dead puzzle, in case he does not talk on the phone, she would want to pinch his neck and kick him.)
–Not trouble at all. Anyway, I was planning to go over there to play. (Yeah, she finally came up with her next destination)
So Zhong Lian Chen secretly called the airline on the phone to book her flight. She surreptitiously began to pack her bag.
The place is known for unscrupulous trafficking decent and young beautiful women. So she does not plan to stay for long.
Zhong Lian Chen had planned very carefully.
Epilogue 3.12: Special Accidental Episode
Zhong Lian Chen had planned very carefully.
After getting off the plane, she went to the hotel to take a shower and something to eat. And then she drove to the cantonment sites where Cheng Shao Rong is at. Based on her experience, the surrounding of the base is where the beautiful scenery are. Finally, recharged and full of energy, she is comfortable enough to sit down and discuss serious matter with Cheng Shao Rong that are related to both of their future happiness.
Her goal is to make Cheng Shao Rong understand that marrying her is a very unwise decision. Not only sorry for him, but for their parents have whom supported them. Most importantly, sorry to the party and people, sorry for the harmonious society. She must do the work and persuade him to put down the burden and scraping the whole idea.
As a result, her plane was delayed for half an hour. When she got off the plane and took the car over, she was still twenty minutes late.
They originally agreed to meet up in the café near his camp. Then when Cheng Shao Rong heard that she had not eaten, change the place to a rotisserie. When she was depressed looking for the place, when she arrived, Cheng Shao Rong was sitting and waiting for her. When he saw her, she immediately got up, dressed in the military uniform, he stood straight and gave her a salute.
Zhong Lian Chen cursed him under her breath.
This is really awesome.
She had always been in a good control. Sure enough, as people said, anyone looks hot dressed in the uniform. When Cheng Shao Rong is not dressed in uniform he is generally handsome. But now putting him in the uniform…. That was awesome! This is her first time seeing him in his uniform.
Zhong Lian Chen is so taken aback that she forgot the purpose of her trip.
Fortunately, Cheng Shao Rong did not forget. He said: “This is the only shop around here that is more formal. I cannot go far. I have only forty minutes. You eat first…..” slightly apologetically.
Wow! He thought that she is the kind that must eat in star restaurant? When she eat out alone, she will also eat roadside stalls, ok? She has no such superficial thing. Oh yes, fill up her stomach first before anything else.
The waiter served the food. At noon, many people are there for a meal, so the service is too slow. She is hungry and took big mouthful of meat. After eating everything on her tray, the next course is still not sent.
She felt slightly embarrassed when she saw Cheng Shao Rong’s place still filled with meat. As a lady, she should not be like a vice-like gluttonous. Such a shame. Fortunately, she is not here to meet anyone else. She had after all done more embarrassing things in front of Cheng Shao Rong in the past.
Zhong Lian Chen looked around to hide her hungry look. Cheng Shao Rong quietly pushed his plate in front of her: “I have not touched these. You eat.” And then he got up to help her take other dishes.
Hey, she had forgotten. This restaurant not only served barbecue meat, but many other buffet dishes as well.
This South American style rotisserie is stationed very close to the barrack. So there are many uniforms brothers and beautiful sisters. It seems that the soldier brothers also have very good leisure life. Her mind quickly turned to the large tracts of American soldiers’ barracks in Aventura stories.
He is back from taking the food. Really touched. She actually remembers what she likes. He took all her favorite food. And he even carefully help her singled out the coriander and ginger. These are the stuff that she don’t eat from childhood.
Zhong Lian Chen gets emotional easily. She got unthinking emotional and said: “Cheng Shao Rong, in the future, whoever marry you is very fortunate.”
“Huh?”
Hey, hell. How could she forgot about the main purpose she is here? Time to get down to business.
Zhong Lian Chen wipe her mouth with the napkin. She then recover into a lady-like posture.
“Cheng Shao Rong, in this world, the most stupid thing is to fix a mistake with another mistake. This is called fixing the wrong with another wrong. Certainly not a negative to make a positive.”
Cheng Shao Rong looked at her quietly, did not speak.
“强扭的瓜不甜, together, we will not be happy.”
强扭的瓜不甜 (pin ying: qiǎng niǔ de guā bù tián) – means Nothing forcibly done is going to be agreeable
Cheng Shao Rong still kept quiet.
Zhong Lian Chen: …………
Cheng Shao Rong: ……………
Zhong Lian Chen: (babbling away)……
Cheng Shao Rong: ………..
Zhong Lian Chen: wu wu wa wa……..
Cheng Shao Rong: ……………
Zhong Lian Chen exhausted her patience: “Are you listening to me?”
Cheng Shao Rong: “I heard every single words.”
Zhong Lian Chen: “I am telling you. I do not want to marry you!”
Cheng Shao Rong: “Xiao Chen, do you have someone in your heart?”
Kao… insulting her. Since she was fifteen years old, she had set a grand ambition. She wants to be independent-minded modern woman, facing this life. In this life facing the handsome men, it is never right.
Epilogue 3.13: Special Accidental Episode
Cheng Shao Rong said: “You do not have any crush in your heart and I do not have a girlfriend. Why do not we try together?”
“There is no love between us, what is there to get married for?”
“In a marriage, affection is needed the most, not love.”
“Because of this round of heartbreak, you wanted to give up. As I said, with a small touch of finger, there will be a whole list of beauty coming to you. Life is very bright and the future would be better. There is no reason for you to be depressed.”
“Xiao Chen, to understand a person, it takes a very long time. And we are no longer young. We know each other almost from birth. We understand each other more than others. There are excellent family foundation between us. Don’t you think so?”
Now she understand. In short, because he is tired, he is too lazy to find another woman to start from scratch again. So she is the best option and he is willing to accept that.
See his big headed person!
……….
……….
………..
“Cheng Shao Rong, I will not marry you.” Zhong Lian Chen emphasized it for the xxx times. It is just so tiring speaking to these type of people.
“…………”
………….
…………..
“Not getting married! I am not getting married!” She stressed for the last time!
Cheng Shao Rong used his watery eyes and stared at her seriously. (Why? What are you looking at?)
The time I have at home is very little. Your life will not change. (This is true)
After you marry me, your family would not keep such a tight hold on you. I can be your shield. You will be free than before. (This makes sense)
You know my family very well. Especially my mum who likes you a lot. So you do not have to worry about in-law relationship. (Yes, ah. This is an important issue. Mother Cheng is an excellent lady.)
You have always like to pester my 2nd brother…. If you marry me, in his sense you are a family member. You can do whatever you want with him. (Shameless temptation. Went as far as selling his loved one. But why is she slowly being influenced by him?)
When I retire in a few years’ time, I can accompany you every day and fly up high. (Cheng Shao Rong, you are too treacherous bird, starting in the rarity of other peoples’ weaknesses.)………….
Time is up for Cheng Shao Rong. He watched her get into a taxi and wave her goodbye.
Zhong Lian Chen before leaving suddenly remembered a very important thing. It is so important that she cannot remember it!
Haiz, unspeakable.
She waited for the taxi to drive about ten meters away. Seeing him turning to walk away through the rearview mirror, she pulled out her cell phone and call him: “Hey, so what is the conclusion of our conversation today in the end?”
Cheng Shao Rong was a little surprised and said: “You said as per what my plans are. Now you have another idea?”
“No.” Zhong Lian Chen gave a hollow laugh or two. “No.”
After an hour later, Zhong Lian Chen becomes depressed while clutching her hair.
She have been conned by the devil. She came here to persuade him to give up the thought of marriage. Why the result turns out differently and she was convinced by him?
And she was convinced without her realizing it. She tried to once again remember the key details but failed.
This guy indeed had magic!

Epilogue 3.14: Special Accidental Episode
In her chaos state of mind, he took advantage and disrupting her mind!
It must be so!
Zhong Lian Chen grandmother always said, it is a year of fate but lots of evildoers. So gave her a lot of red possessions. Red shoes, red belt. Red skirt with red coat. And a very valuable red coral necklace with a ruby bracelet.
As a modernized individual, Zhong Lian Chen does not believe in this belief. Only when she is meeting grandma, she wore the red thread on her wrist.
As the saying goes, do not listen to the old words, one will end up suffering.
So, in the year, she hit bad luck one after another. First, somehow she lost her virginity. And then even losing her freedom.
Zhong Lian Chen is one that would never cry over spilled milk. The main reason is because she hates milk. So when the milk is spilled, she is very happy. People say she grew up as a happy child. She will see the positive of every side.
So she was depressed for a few minutes and then start to analyst the benefits of this marriage.
Cheng Shao Rong said some very reasonable points. She married him would be an advantage for her.
Besides……..
Additional benefits of marrying Cheng Shao Rong – 1:
From her younger days, she have seen many outrageous marriage. Including her brothers. There are friendship, no passion, marriage first then dating… like a pile of joint project.
In the beginning, her small mind cannot accept these, so she once dreamed that she is a pig and her family led her to the market for auction.
Taking into consideration that she had known Cheng Shao Rong almost her whole life, although there are not love, there are always friendship. Unlike her sisters-in-law.
Additional benefits of marrying Cheng Shao Rong – 2:
Although she also drool when seeing a good looking guy, she did not naively hope that her future husband is a handsome one. The ideal and reality is two different thing that she is able to distinguish.
While the process of finding a genuine good looking guy is minimal, she is really lucky. Although good looking cannot be eaten, but definitely better than watching an ugly looking guy eating dinner, right? Appetite would not be so good…
Additional benefits of marrying Cheng Shao Rong – 3:
This marriage makes the whole family very happy. From grandparents, to aunties and uncles to mum and dad…. Although they probably are not because she is going to get married, but because Xiao San (3rd Son) of the Cheng family will be a member of their family. She realized it too. She had never brought into this house any honors, nor make any contribution to the family business after growing up. This time, borrowing the lights of Cheng Shao Rong, she is able to bring some sense of proudness into the family.
Zhong Lian Chen is a very responsible person.
Now that she had figured out the benefits of marrying Cheng Shao Rong, she no longer feels tangled. But now happily waiting to be the bride.
Epilogue 3.15: Special Accidental Episode
She was indeed very responsible. So when she is drooling at good looking guys on television or magazines, her heart felt sorry.
But then thinking about it again, she is just using her eyes to appreciate the handsome looks of the guys. However, she will often able to identify deficiencies in the guys. And then she found Cheng Shao Rong more handsome than those guys.
So with very clear conscience, she continue to flirt with the various type of guys.
Not long after, her grandfather were hospitalized for a minor operation and then went home to rest.
At home, everyone else were very busy with their career. She is the only one that is free, so naturally she stayed at home to look after her grandfather.
At the home of her maternal grandparents, her movement were restrained.
Grandma, as she gets older, she is more difficult. She drag her every day and gave her the latest fashion magazine.
How’s do you want your wedding dress to be? ‘Wai Ya Wang’ is not too bad? Chinese people must support the Chinese people.
This set of jewelry looks good on Xiao Chen. Better than the model wearing this.
Xiao Chen, come and look at this shop. There are more suitable recommendation for honeymoon ah.
Grandfather has another style:
Xiao Chen, come and write a few words for me.
As the saying goes, to see people to see the words, your word cannot tell you the person’s appearance or Mom inherent right.
Take these words and write them every day ten to twenty times. And within a month, your words will go a long way.
Zhong Lian Chen respectfully took the word and paste great big words: “女训”
女训 (pin ying: Nǚ xùn) – Female Training
Feeling the pressure, she went over to Cheng Shao Rong’s grandmother’s house. The two elderly had moved, so no longer their neighbor. However, they are still very close, within the community.
Grandmother Cheng loves her dearly since young. Seeing her now brings a grin and she went to cook for her. She do not have servants to help. She said as she is cooking: “I remember you and Cheng Shao Rong love these dishes that I cook the most.”
Zhong Lian Chen immediately understand the meaning of the elderly. Conscientiously followed the elderly to learn how to cook those dishes. A few days later, she was finally able to make the dishes well in the taste but not the presentation. But still got Grandma’s praise: “As long as the taste is good, the presentation is not important”
Grandmother Cheng like to recollect events. Often Zhong Lian Chen will hear from her the recollection of Cheng Shao Rong’s childhood memories.
Example 1:
Xiao Rong when he is four or five years old, someone gave him a box of chocolates and asking him to share with his brother and sister. There is a total of only 15 pieces of chocolate. He gave Xiao Qing 4 pieces, Xiao Chen 4 pieces, Mandy 4 pieces and only had 3 balance for himself……
Example 2:
When he was six or seven years old, while playing, a naughty child fell into the small pool. Cheng Shao Rong immediately found the valve and release the water……
Zhong Lian Chen remember Grandmother Cheng was in the education work. Yes, pre-school education.
Zhong Lian Chen stayed at home but often accompanied the two elderly people to go to the park to participate in activities. Seeing Grandfather playing the chess, accompany grandmothers dancing, playing gyro with the children and with the puppies scaring the sparrows.
She lived a very healthy and boring life day after day. As she started to feel bored, Cheng Shao Rong is on leave and is coming home. She was so excited, she drove the car to go and pick him up. When she saw him, she gave him a huge hug very enthusiastically, knocking him back a few steps: “Cheng Shao Rong, I missed you!”
Cheng Shao Rong’s last leave was recalled. So this time can continue to take his leave.
Epilogue 3.16: Special Accidental Episode
Thinking about it. He is really in bad luck. Finally able to take leave and come home. Not half way through, lost the nearly a decade relationship and then had to accept the 20 over years friendship, her. However, this also cannot blame the society. Just blame the not so good fate.
Zhong Lian Chen was thinking about this as she was cooking in Cheng Shao Rong’s house.
As a result, she missed the process thought by Grandmother Cheng. The dish she was cooking, got burned.
She did not give up and continue to prepare the second dish. This time she dropped the whole pot.
Cheng Shao Rong comforted her: “It does not matter. Later we will hire a maid. And I can cook.”
They went out to eat. After the meal, they thought they should communicate more to move their feelings up. So they went to the nostalgic childhood play area.
But the city changed so much, they almost got lost. They finally arrived at their common primary school.
Cheng Shao Rong looked up at the huge gingko tree. Zhong Lian Chen bent over to pick up a piece of small fan-shaped leaves from the ground. The original tree was in the middle of the playground, now moved to the edge of the playground. Zhong Lian Chen bent over for too long, and feeling faint. When she was helped by Cheng Shao Rong up, they saw the former teacher, now the headmaster.
The new headmaster actually recognized the two of them and cheerfully said: “Come together to view the alma mater. As a child both of you often come to play hand in hand. After so many years, still coming together. This is indeed a rare classmate friendship.”
They looked at each other.
Headmaster puzzled and said: “Hei, you both did not come together. So happen to encounter each other?”
Later at the school gate, up the very steep road, they saw an old man pushing a tricycle struggling uphill. Together they went to pushed and help. After that, the old man gratefully thanked them. He said: “You two looked alike ah. Laugh also alike. Brother and sisters?”
They looked at each other again.
The puzzled old man asked: “Not brother and sister? Then sister and brother?”
Fourth, Cheng Shao Rong only had three days holiday. Two days were planned to accompany his grandmother and hers.
The first day as a couple does not seem to go well. But it does not matter. Zhong Lian Chen’s grandmother once said, perseverance is one of Zhong Lian Chen’s few advantages.
The next day is the weekend. She pulled Cheng Shao Rong early in the morning to go for a drive. Then she pulled him to the amusement park and got him to line up to play pirate ship, carousel, Space Shuttle, Bumper Car and many more childish games.
In the beginning, Cheng Shao Rong is very co-operative and obedient. Zhong Lian Chen rewarded him with a lollipop, a little rabbit holding a carrot. Her mouth also contain one.
But men does not have magical power. There are always limit to one’s patience. Not long after, he refused to accommodate.
Cheng Shao Rong refused to eat the rabbit lollipop: “It feels like swallowing a life rabbit in the mouth. Very cruel.”
Zhong Lian Chen: “You think you are a monk? Do you want me to give you a ginseng sweet?”
Cheng Shao Rong refuse to play kart: “A bunch of broken iron. What is more interesting about it?”
Zhong Lian Chen: “When you drive a sport car on the road, you are confident that you would not hit anything?”
Cheng Shao Rong refused to play the roller coaster: “Too high, too fast. I am afraid.”
Well…… Zhong Lian Chen did not want to put him into a difficult situation.
Ten seconds later, she realized that she had been fooled. She rushed to Chong Shao Rong side and shook his shoulders.
“Cheng Shao Rong! You as a good pilot, you dare to say that you are afraid of high speed? You you you!!! You think I have a negative IQ ah!”
Cheng Shao Rong eventually did not escape his fate.
Feeling extremely wronged, he said after he got down: “This is not the same as flying an airplane. I fly my own airplane, the result is by myself and others and I am able to grasp the operation, managing it. I do not trust the safety index of recreational facilities……..”
Zhong Lian Chen thought that, he as a soldier, the fear of death is actually showing emotion on the playground. Bringing shame to the people in the army. She dragged him to line up the second time to play roller coaster, in order to train his bravery.
As a result, they are like two child tugging back and forth in a tug of war. Zhong Lian Chen laboriously dragged him two steps forward and then he would take a step back. After a while, she is too tired and was sweating.
Suddenly, Cheng Shao Rong suddenly gently trembled a little. His awkward hands were loose. Zhong Lian Chen had the opportunity to go forward and dragged him several meters. She turned to look at him with a puzzle: “Why?”
“Nothing. We go line up.” Cheng Shao Rong homeopathic pulled her forward.
Zhong Lian Chen subconsciously turn around and looked at the direction where Cheng Shao Rong was looking. Not far away, three young woman was organizing a group of different skin color and hair color children in front of the fairy cave line. The beautiful woman in the milky white shirt wearing a light blue trousers looks a little familiar.
Perhaps not just ‘a little’ only, but very familiar.
Epilogue 3.17: Special Accidental Episode
Her classmates for years, in relationship, have been a very good friend.
Cheng Shao Rong’s ex-girlfriend.
Jiang Wei.
In the evening, when Zhong Lian Chen recall the incident in the day, facing Jiang Wei face to face, there is only one feeling to explain her mood…. ‘guilty’
If one wants to use four words to literate the point, then it is ‘put into the spot’. Of course, the one being caught is her and Cheng Mou Mou.
When she saw Jiang Wei, she was dragged away by Cheng Shao Rong. She pulled away her hand and said to him: “I will go over and say hello.” And then she walked straight to Jiang Wei.
As the two of them were chatting politely, Jiang Wei looked behind Zhong Lian Chen and said softly: “Shao Rong, long time no see.”
Zhong Lian Chen is so stiff, she dare not turn her back to look behind. Not long after, she heard Cheng Shao Rong said: “How have you been lately?”
“Not too good but also not too bad.” Jiang Wei said with a gentle smile.
The other two teachers said: “Teacher Jiang, you chat with your friends first. Wait for us at the exit.”
Jiang Wei reply: “Wait for me. I will be right over.”
Zhong Lian Chen abruptly said: “The weather is hot. I will go and buy cold drinks. The two of you, who wants?” Seeing that there is no responds, she said: “I will go now. I will be back.”
As she was stepping away not far, Cheng Shao Rong said: “Which stall are you going? Don’t get lost.”
Zhong Lian Chen casually glanced at the amusement park map and said: “I am heading to ‘Hummingbird’.”
“Okay. I will come over to find you.”
Zhong Lian Chen search for the snack bar according to the map. As she walked past the door, there was a burst of cold wind blowing. The cold air caused her to shiver.
Yes, the weather forecast said that today is going to be a cold day. Just now how come she was feeling hot? Oh right, being a high-power light bulb to illuminate others, you will first warm yourself.
She ordered the biggest box of ice-cream and ate until her body temperature drop several degrees. And then she ordered a big string of kebab, ate till her mouth are filled with oil. What she is most proud of is her strong stomach. It will never hurt and no matter what she eats, she will never get fat.
Twenty minutes later, Cheng Shao Rong is no-where in sight. She returned to the fairy cave entrance but did not even see his shadow.
Zhong Lian Chen felt that she had slightly overeaten. She thinks that continue playing may end up with her vomiting. So look for a place to sit down, and to call Cheng Shao Rong. When she touched her pockets only she remembered, she did not bring her bag today. Only the phone and some notes stuffed in jeans pocket. Just before, she was feeling uncomfortable while playing roller coaster with the phone in the pocket, hence stuffed the phone into the pocket of Cheng Shao Rong.
Really! She ran to the door to see if Cheng Shao Rong is waiting for her outside. The car is still parked in the same place. Sure enough, he did not leave without her. But she had exited the amusement park, so could not get in except to buy a new ticket.
Poor Zhong Lian Cheng. She did not bring much money today as Cheng Shao Rong was paying for everything. Just now at the snack bar, she squandered too much away. Now the money in her pocket is only enough to take a taxi home.
She wanted to find a public phone to call Cheng Shao Rong but then suddenly remembered that she is a digital idiot. She cannot even remember her own phone number, not to mention Cheng Shao Rong’s number. Every time she just have to take out the phone number from the phonebook and dial from her phone. Now, not only she does not have any coins to make the call, the telephone are all inside the amusement part and none outside.
Point back ah point back! Cannot blame the society.
In fact, there are still other method. Use the amusement park management office to help with a broadcast. But also cannot afford to lose that face ah. Not to mention that Jiang Wei is still inside, she could hear it.
Forget it. Let the old couple catch up more. She can be sensible.
Zhong Lian Chen borrowed from the management office pen and paper. She wrote a few words and slid it under the car windshield. And then she topped a taxi and went home.
After returning home, Zhong Lian Cheng only said that Chong Shao Rong met with an old classmates to reminisce. Then quickly slipped back into her room before grandmother ask more. Her skill is much worse than her grandmother, so she will certainly be able to sense that she is hiding a secret.
Epilogue 3.18: Special Accidental Episode
About the case of ‘losing each other’, a long time after, when Ms Zhong has already become the wife, they noisily argued till there were no new topic of argument, the old incident was brought up.
“You are a bastard. You rarely accompany me out to play, and even lost me!”
“You are a fool. Even the name of the place is wrong, how you expect me to find you?”
“Pictograms only. Using the toes only also can find it. You simply do not want to play with me, deliberately do not find me!”
“Peninsula ‘snack bar’ and ‘bird’ snack bar? You even have the nerve to mention about it. No wonder, I turn around the whole area to look for ‘hummingbird’ also is unable to find it.”
“You have no imagination, you big wood!”
“You are illiterate! Kindergarten children can even read the word that you do not know!”
Every quarrel will lead back to the incident on this day!
Full of spirit of love, Zhong Lian Chen, pulled some books out of the book shelves to read.
A few days ago, grandmother looked at her bookshelf with a frown. She suggested her to read more books on cultivation and to mold her temperament practice. Zhong Lian Chen looked at the pile of books that her grandmother found for her and wanted to vomit blood. She finally went to grandmother Cheng’s house and took a few books from Cheng Shao Rong’s shelves.
As long as it is brought from Cheng Shao Rong, even if it has romantic words on the book, grandmother would not say anything.
As she was reading the book, a bookmark of a simple hard white cardboard fell out. It is a one-sided bookmark with blue ballpoint pen strokes delicate line drawing. It is a very delicate lady figure in the Republican era of a female student. The hair is comb into two braids while wearing a simple biased breasted shirt and pleated skirt with a messenger bag and plain shoes that is lifelike.
The foot of the paper had his signature: ‘Shao Rong’ with the date that was many years ago. Never know that he had this skill. This guy is really amazing.
Zhong Lian Chen secretly burst her belly from laughing. She stood in front of the mirror and comb her hair following the hairstyle. She looked around the drawers for two rubber bands to tie the hair.
Very nice. She had never tried such a simple style.
Then she went to grandmother’s room to look for clothes. Grandmother like Chinese traditional clothing. There are many and grandmother is not fat.
Zhong Lian Chen looked at herself in the mirror admiring her ‘new’ look. She even drag her mother to help her to take a photo. Grandmother Cheng phoned to inform that Cheng Shao Rong is back. He had drank a little too much and is asking if she have time to come and see him.
Zhong Lian Chen just left for his place dressed how she was. Grandmother Cheng smiled looking at the way she is dressed. She even recommended that she dressed like that for the wedding photo. Together with Cheng Shao Rong pretend to be old-fashioned student. She would like to have the framed photo of them like that in the bedroom to see every day.
Cheng Shao Rong was drunk and was fast asleep.
Grandmother Cheng said: “Among the children at home, only Xiao Rong is the most real, so he hardly drink. Last time, Xiao Chen claimed to want to do some experiment, hence got him drunk.”
Zhong Lian Chen asked: “He is a bad drinker?”
Grandmother Cheng said: “Comparing with others, he is okay. But comparing along the Cheng children, Xiao Rong is considered the worst among them. Even Xiao Min can drink better.”
Zhong Lian Cheng imagined them drinking together while Cheng Shao Rong sitting at the site biting the situation. She started laughing.
Grandmother Cheng said: “Xiao Rong is very honest. You see, Xiao Chen has the highest alcohol level of tolerance. The family have not seem him drunk too. He rarely drink to that level. But the last Lunar New Year, maybe because he is in a bad mood, he had a drinking match with Xiao Rong. As a result, Xiao Chen is still okay while Xiao Rong was totally knocked out. He slept for a full day and night.”
Such a poor level of alcohol tolerance and still want to have a drinking match with anyone. He deserve it!
Zhong Lian Chen obediently went to Xiao Rong’s room to take care of him.
It seems that they do have a level of understanding that is too good. While she sleep, he waited for her. Now, he is sleeping while she wait for him.
She sat quietly at the table by the window to read a little yellowed paper, ‘Art of War.’
In fact, she did not read the book as reading it, she is prone to headache. So she is actually only reading at the blank space in the book where Cheng Shao Rong have wrote his remarks. It is very tender as he wrote them when he is still a child.
For example, in the ‘田忌赛马’, next to it, Cheng Shao Rong wrote: ‘The riles of the games, there are loopholes!’. In ‘兵不厌诈’ is written, ‘Do not speak good faith. Shameless!’
田忌赛马 (pin ying: tian ji) – means Scripts and Scribes
兵不厌诈 (pin ying: bīng bú yàn zhà) – means… there can never be too much deception in a war. All is fair in a war. Deceit is not to be despised in a war. In wat, here is no objection to deceit. (all these different way of describing the meaning of this phrase)
She was amused reading it. Enjoying it while laughing. She heard Cheng Shao Rong turning on the bed while murmuring in a low voice.
She stood up and asked: “Are you awake? What did you say?”
It is evening. The sun ray is shining in from the window, in the face of Cheng Shao Rong, reflecting a ray on his body. Zhong Lian Chen is back facing the light. So she could not see his expression while he probably could not see her.
Cheng Shao Rong murmured: “Jiang Wei?”
There were a little buzz at the ears of Zhong Lian Chen. Then she fuzzily heard Cheng Shao Rong saying: “This is such a strange dream.”
Then he fell asleep again.
Zhong Lian Chen secretly grinding her teeth while approaching him. She saw him sleeping like an innocent child. He even had a silly smile on his face as he is dreaming.
Epilogue 3.19: Special Accidental Episode
She is really slow. That bookmark marked the time. It was her summer vacation during high school. And Cheng Shao Rong had received military school admission notice.
That yes, during the summer, their school club have performed some drama. She sent a ticket to Cheng Shao Rong. At the end of the show, he was holding two large bouquet of flowers. Both she and Jiang Wei have copies.
The name of the play is 姐妹花 (Flower Sisters). Both she and Jiang Wei played a pair of separated twin sisters whom because of different circumstances, lead a very different life. She wore a lacy poncho dress with fake curly hair, playing the extravagance eldest sister while Jiang Wei plays the poor female student.
He figure he painted, is not like Jiang Wei but the dress is indeed the costume that Jiang Wei wore that day.
Cut!
Cheng Shao Rong turned over the body and the quilt fell to the ground. She picked it up wanting to cover him. As she was covering him, again he dropped the quilt back onto the ground.
Let him catch a cold and then seriously ill and die. Hum!
Zhong Lian Chen gave some excuse and then went home early. After eight pm, she received a call from Cheng Shao Rong. He sounded refreshed with no sign of drunkenness.
Cheng Shao Rong said: “Are you free? Come out and have some fun.”
“No time. I am busy.”
“Tomorrow I will got to my parents’ place. Go with me.”
“Tomorrow I am busier. I am not going. Not that Uncle Cheng does not know me.”
“What are you doing now? Why do you sound strange?”
“Practice yoga.”
“How come listening to it, sounded like you are practicing boxing?”
“How could you think of me like that… I am a lady…”
In fact, Zhong Lian Chen is practicing dart. In addition to her dance, outside of physical education, this is a sport that she does very well.
She sat cross-legged on the bed and locked the door. There is a dart wheel tied to the male rag doll on the door.
The male doll have a pin wearing a cloth on its forehead. On the cloth there is three words: Cheng Shao Rong.
Zhong Lian Chen very accurately shot the dart to the male doll. Each one hitting its target.
The len turned to Cheng Shao Rong. The time span move to two months later. Back in the single dormitory, the administrator congratulate Cheng Shao Rong while passing to him a courier that was sent by Zhong Lian Chen in the morning.
Cheng Shao Rong from the beginning of the year have been very smooth. He had easily passed a complex process assessment test and also made the first flight test. A few days ago, he and his comrades together in a division have won the technical championship. And then today, he had received the teacher’s reception and recognition hence his rank has risen one level.
Moreover, in less than a month, he would be getting married. Although the subject of marriage is not whom had had plan to marry over the years, but marriage after all is difference from being in love. He is able to marry Zhong Lian Chen as his wife, he felt very contented.
One – Zhong Lian Chen is a woman that he had known his lifetime. He is very clear of all her strength and weaknesses. And he understood that to truly understand a person, it is a long and difficult process. He did not have the strength to re-start again.
Second – Zhong Lian Chen and his family have a deep root. Their grandfathers were once close combatants who had fought against guns. And now they are allies in business. Their union will make the elders very happy.
Three – Zhong Lian Chen has a good personality. She is very independent, like a tomboy. She has her mind all written in the face with a childish temper. Having her in the life, perhaps a little noisier but will never be tired at heart.
He took the courier into his hand. Heavy. Is it that Zhong Lian Chen had sent him the wedding clause that needed his signature? Anyway, she always like to play around.
Opening the envelope. It is really a thick pile of paper. The content is not what he guessed.
That stack of documents are his test scores. Each one has been added annotations. Zhong Lian Chen’s handwriting.
She hates to practice. So it is particularly annoying for her to write by hand. So much earlier on before computer has become an universal item, she had begun using a typewriter to write her diaries and writing a draft.
The test questions are sent to him once a week by e-mail, asking him to complete it.
These are psychological test. Anyway, it does not take up too much time, so he played along with her.
Now, the test results are in front of him.

No 009….
Cheng Shao Rong patiently read each one of it while his heart has a bad feeling. Sure enough, there is a personal letter from Zhong Lian Chen at the end of her. Her rare pen written whole letter.
Cheng Shao Rong,
The test results answers all the problems, so I would not be bother to speak more about it.
If you like to deceive yourself, it is your business.
But I do not want to bring it into my own future.
My life plan is:
To find a love that would love me to death.
Talk about a vigorous love.
I have not thought about what would happen after I get married.
But since the first two have been PASS, it shows that we completely have different ways in life.
It is best that we go our own separate ways.
~~~~~~~
I wish you a life filled with happiness. Goodbye.
P/S1: Yes, we are still good friend, okay? Next time when I see you kindly say hello. Do not be embarrassed.
P/S2: I re-read this again and realized that the words are rude. Not properly considered. But because I am too lazy to re-write it again, so please read the letter while automatically converting it into elegant statement.
P/S3: I have basically settled everything. I did not discussed with you in advance is really embarrassing, mainly because I am afraid that it would affect your examination. Followed by the fear that you would not co-operate. Okay, see all notes on the testimony.
Note: The testimony of collusion with the elders
Cheng Shao Rong have always been proud of his calmness. Taishan collapse in the top without any discoloration.
His first slight coach was a stern man. But at the end of his training, he was delighted by his supervisor. “I have been teaching for so many years, Cheng Shao Rong is the best I have ever seen.”
But now, he holds the pile with seven or eight kinds of fonts with five or six size, drawing a mess of the same note, giving him the feeling of wanting to vomit.
5, Cheng Shao Rong from the beginning of the year have been smooth to this fay where finally there is a little stagnation.
Epilogue 3.21: Special Accidental Episode
He and Zhong Lian Chen started more than two months of long and arduous struggle.
During these months, he also kept to accept the care and inquiry from the elders as well as scolding.
Excessive care and scolding all these, he can withstand. But dealing with ‘inquiry’…. He is an honest and trustworthy good boy. Letting him against the conscience of Zhong Lian Chen to his set of words to flickers the elders, he is indeed not suited.
In addition, the Executive knew that his marriage leave is cancelled. Afraid that he will become depressed, and also afraid he will cause some accident, so simply sent him to train new students.
In theory, he is a lecturer and part-time counselor with not much strength needed. But it takes a lot of time, from day to night. So he had minimal free time.
And there were several female pilots whom are burning their eyes on him every day. He was worried that they would burn a lot on his clothes with their glare.
Occasionally when he has time, he will call Zhong Lian Chen. Analysis, discussion or negotiations. Anyway, the result is always the same. He lost!
Sample 1:
“Xiao Chen, what happened recently?”
“Nothing, just do not want to marry you.”
“Don’t take marriage as a joke, okay?”
“I am not marrying you because I do not take marriage as a joke. The one taking marriage as a joke is clearly you, okay?”
Sample 2:
“Xiao Chen, is there a misunderstood something?”
“Misunderstanding your big head ghost!”
“Jiang Wei and I are already in the past. There is no way we can get together.”
“Well, you have to abandon her. You are not a good man!”
Sample 3:
“I broke up with Jiang Wei because of personality differences.”
“Despite the personality differences, both of you dated for nearly ten years?”
“I…….”
“Is our personality compatible?”
“But we’re complementary.”
“You are shameless with your language sexual harassment. Do you think that I cannot heart it? Get lost!”
“…………….”
Sample 4:
“Let’s find time to talk.”
“Talk about the time from my birth and you have already fallen in love with me. You are just waiting for me to grow up to marry me. And all the other women are substitutes while we are born to be together…..”
“…. You go and drink a cup of water. We will talk in a while.”
“I will not want to talk with you… get lost!”
Sample5：……
Sample6：……
Sample7：……
The boys in the Cheng Family are expected to be independent. And they have to solve their own problems. Not allowed to rely on others.
But in the face of such difficult women, Cheng Shao Rong self-inductance incompetent, so he had to ask for help from two of his paternal older cousin brothers.
He first call the eldest older cousin brother. Because this cousin brother and his personality is similar. And sister-in-law and he are also young acquaintance.
“Big brother, how to deal with a very unreasonable woman?”
“What kind of relationship you have with this woman?”
“….fiancée, wife…. Somewhat of such sort.”
Big brother kept quiet for a while and then said the word:
“Ignore.”
It is as if nothing were said at all! He then had to call the second older cousin brother. This hopefully is his trump card.
Second older cousin thought for a long time before finally carefully reply with only one word:
“Endure.”
He fainted…..
Epilogue 3.22: Special Accidental Episode
At the same time, the Cheng family and Zhong family elders are talking either on the phone or face to face about the two disappointing child absurd marriage.
The first group of people:
Father Zhong: “Lao Cheng, I am sorry. My girl was spoiled by the family since childhood. It is disappointing about her nonsense pertaining the marriage!”
Father Cheng: “She is a girl. Her naughtiness is also called lively. Total opposite of Xiao Rong. This does not blame Xiao Chen. Certainly it is my Xiao Rong whom upset her.”
The second group of people:
Mother Cheng: “It is because Xiao Chen mind about Xiao Rong and Jiang Wei meet up? Xiao Rong said himself that he had really broken up with Jiang Wei. You know, this child is very reliable.”
Mother Zhong: “You still don’t understand Xiao Chen, this child? She forgets things very fast. Let her cool down, once she is tired, it will all be okay.”
The third group of people:
Grandmother Cheng: “You say, how come the children now are so full of nonsense? Even Xiao Rong can upset Xiao Chen to the extend she don’t even want to marry him anymore. And I was hoping to see the next generation of children, my great-grandchildren before I leave this world.”
Grandmother Zhong: “Well, you do not worry. As long as your Xiao Rong still want to marry Xiao Chen, this marriage will still happen. As for Xiao Chen, let her be for a while.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Asking for help that is not a help. After a day, Cheng Shao Rong no longer call Zhong Lian Chen on the phone. He decided to write her love letter. He wrote to her every day. One letter a day. A very short one. He cannot write a long letter.
I really want to spend my lifetime with you. Although I have spent a decade with Jiang Wei, but comparing with lifetime, the decade is very short, isn’t it?
You blame me for not forgetting the previous memories. I admit to it. But the memory is involuntarily. If I say I have forgotten Jiang Wei, do you not will think that I am a scum that is unreliable? You see, I can clearly remember that twenty years ago, we went to climb a mountain and we saw a weasel there together.
Although we both have not spend too much time loving each other but we have our deep friendship and affection. Love in the end will turn into family affection. We are just taking a shortcut. Of course, if you like, we can slowly cultivate.
……
……
……
The weekend is here! Cheng Shao Rong’s team-mate, Shao Gen Jin came to see him. He saw Cheng Shao Rong leaning against the wall with the bent legs while sitting on the bed with a laptop. He is trying to write something while biting a toothpick in the mouth.
“Why? Outside the sun is good. It is a waste cope up indoor. We go out to play.” Shao Gen Jin said.
“Wait for me. Another two minutes.” Cheng Shao Rong quickly browse through what he wrote and then press the ‘send’ button.
Shao Gen Jin probe his head to see. Cheng Shao Rong snapped the computer shut and almost snapped his head together.
“Cheh! So secretive… Who wants to read? Are you writing a love letter or writing a report?” Because Cheng Shao Rong’s reaction is too fast, Shao Gen Jin did not managed to see a word. Very upset, he readily pull out the ‘toothpick’ that is bitten in the mouth of Cheng Shao Rong. “Cool ah you. You think you are the knight in the shining armor?”
The result stunned him. He pulled out a lollipop. Shao Gen Jin is astonished and reach out to touch the forehead of Cheng Shao Rong.
Cheng Shao Rong said: “Writing to my wife whom is angry.” Nauseating, sour to the extent that my teeth almost fell out. Yet some sweet and slightly neutral.
Shao Gen Jin said: “I have told you already not to pretend to be kind to give a false impression. You deserve it! Hahaha…. As they say, do not cheat in the examination! Now, you know how it feels. Hahahaha…. So funny!”
Cheng Shao Rong sighed with resentment while putting away his computer emotionally. “My second brother, after working for a few months once said something to me. At that time, I thought he was extreme. But now I have to admit, his perception is always faster and stronger than me.”
Shao Gen Jin smiling from ear to ear while saying: “What did your 2nd brother said?”
“Brother said at that time, behaving in the line of the current situation.”
Zhong Lian Chen is actually very happy to receive the daily email from Cheng Shao Rong. Although she rarely reply. Occasionally when she reply, it is scolding back: “Smart tongue! You think I am so naïve?”
But one day, she did not receive any email from Cheng Shao Rong. She refreshed the email frequently until night. Did not even sleep well that night. If it is not because the task of military personnel is very detrimental to the interest of the country, she intended to continue with the dart activity that night.
Fortunately, she received two email that night, so she forgive Cheng Shao Rong in her heart.
Not because she is not ambition nor backbone. But because she is open-minded, considerate, gentle and virtuous. She could distinguish right from wrong…. And so on. All these fine traditional Chinese women’s fine virtues. Zhong Lian Chen self-deception thought.
She grew up not a tangled child. When she could not figure out the things, she usually would not think about it.
Epilogue 3.23: Special Accidental Episode
Because of a little jealousy, she decided not to marry Cheng Shao Rong. She forgot that the former girlfriend and the one before is really nothing of a big deal. To put it bluntly, she felt guilty to have been the 3rd party, destructing their relationship.
Although the external behavior of Zhong Lian Chen is very childlike, but in her heart, she is just like a virgin.
Moreover, a few days ago, she met Jiang Wei, so they ate together.
She persuaded Jiang Wei about fate. And do not casually abandoned the almost a decade of love. She repeatedly stressed that she and Cheng Shao Rong’s marriage is purely the arrangement of family. They are definitely not voluntary. Their feelings are very pure.
Sigh. God forgive her good motives. Moreover, she really did not lie. This marriage is indeed the arrangement of the elderly originally. She said she and Cheng Shao Rong really do not have any ‘feelings’ isn’t it? In particular, she stressed the ‘emotional purity’. She really did not say anything else.
Jiang Wei said, in fact, she and Cheng Shao Rong was close to breaking up four years ago. Just because they did not had the heart, and procrastinated, hence never entirely broke off.
Jiang Wei explained, Cheng Shao Rong is an emotional defects yet outstanding young person. Those years they were together, they were not much of a couple. It is more appropriate to say that they were good friends of opposite sex. He does not understand love, only understand the responsibilities and obligations. And she never was successful to gain a spot in his heart.
Finally, Jiang Wei stressed that it is rare to have a lifetime relationship like Cheng Shao Rong and Zhong Lian Chen. So she must take advantage of this to save a good yet exhausting young man.
Zhong Lian Chen and Jiang Wei went their separate way. She recalled Jiang Wei’s words on the road. She suddenly realized that Cheng Shao Rong is pitiful.
This is clearly a hope that the parents have to continuously improve and self-cultivate that eventually become obsessed with ultimate flawed personality of a talented young man case.
Zhong Lian Chen shed a few drop of tears and felt that instead of letting Cheng Shao Rong go with his high-quality appearance to deceive other women, it is better to just let her be the one that needs to endure this.
She intended to wait for Cheng Shao Rong to bring up marriage again before promising him.
But this Cheng Shao Rong, every day revolving around her telling her major principle. But never mentioned the sentence ‘When will you re-marry me?’, really hateful!
Don’t expect her to be the one to say ‘I want to marry you?’ Dream on!
In the end, it is Zhong Lian Chen that brought up the sentence.
She still continue to live a day at a time. In her daze, she stroll around. Checking emails, going online…living her life in a free and easy way. Then suddenly there is a place in China where earth-shattering event occurred. That resulted in tens of thousands of people whom were killed and millions lost their home.
When she recovered from the shock, she realized that Cheng Shao Rong have not wrote to her on time. And the 2nd day also the same.
Although he did not to disclose his whereabouts, she already guessed where he went.
Zhong Lian Chen did not want to recall the suffering that she went through during that time.
She returned to her parents’ place and watched television daily while sobbing. And when she went online, she quarreled with her online friends.
Three days later, Cheng Shao Rong finally gave her a call. The signal is not good, the line could cut off anytime. He said: “Are you okay? Stay at home quietly and don’t go out running anymore.”
Zhong Lian Chen started crying and said: “You must come back alive. You will come back alive and marry me. Or else you wait and see….”
Epilogue 3.24: Special Accidental Episode
Zhong Lian Chen, finding a new life goal, her life is once again enriched.
Her previous days are also very substantial. It should be said that her life has now become more fulfilled.
In the day time, she volunteered to help with the donations statistic and registration of the materials. At night, she habitually waited for Cheng Shao Rong’s phone or mail. But she always failed to wait for them. So she is worried. Worried that he is too tired. Worried about the hard conditions. Worried that he is in danger.
One day, she plans to be part of the volunteer team to the disaster area. She would like to see if she had the chance to see Cheng Shao Rong. Father heard about the news and head over to bring her back.
She suddenly found herself so concerned about Cheng Shao Rong. She is worried about him all the time. Is this the legendary great love?
She had not like Zhang Ai Ling. She thinks that this woman is cool and thin. However, when Cheng Shao Rong used the lesson learned from her when quoting words, she read more to get familiar with the enemy.
Her deepest impression if the 《倾城之恋》 – Love of Allure. It takes the city to fall only to achieve the love of two person together.
And now, she shamefully thought, in such a national distress, she actually achieved her long awaited love.
Right, of course this is love.
Since Cheng Shao Rong do not know how to love, then their love is entirely up to her.
How happy it is to be master of the house!
Many days later, Cheng Shao Rong finally withdraw from the disaster area. His last phone call only contain a few words. He said that he received a new task. He would not be able to contact her for a long time. There is no way of communication.
But there is no danger, so she is not to worry.
When he finished his task, he can take a long vacation. Then they can have their wedding.
Zhong Lian Chen thinks that the blue sky outside the window is particularly blue. The clouds in the sky are white and even the sound of the crickets are beautiful.
She began to seriously plan her wedding. The dresses, rings, flowers as well as the banquet arrangement. Her days are now more fulfilling than before.
The next day, Zhong Lian Chen received a shipment. It is sent from Cheng Shao Rong’s troop but the handwriting is not his.
She open it feeling very confused. Inside the courier, there is a sealed letter. And on the envelope is indeed his handsome writing. One that she had not seen for many years.
Zhong Lian Chen opened the enveloped feeling excited. The words were scribbled but it does seems more chic.
But the content of the letter-
Xiao Chen,
I have thought about it. You are right. We really cannot have a lifetime of love.
Moreover, I really cannot forget Jiang Wei.
I want to marry you, as you say, it is to be responsible to you. And also it is the want of our elders. To make them happy.
But since you are so free and easy woman with lofty ideas, then let’s forget our marriage.
As you say, we continue to be good friends. Let’s not continue the mistake.
I wish you to find the most suitable person soon. To find a vigorous love. And then marry him and have an eternal life.
Yours sincerely.
Salute.
Zhong Lian Chen was shocked! And then she was angered till she trembled.
She fought back her anger and read the letter carefully again.
She studied the thin piece of paper several times. She finally confirmed that she did not misunderstand the meaning of his words. And this letter is definitely his handwriting.
Jerk! Bad guy! Surely he hated her for writing him a letter refusing his marriage. So now he is returning it… a tooth for a tooth!
Zhong Lian Chen first thought is to call him to tell him off. But could not reach him. Oh yes, he had said. She could not contact him for a while.
Premeditated!
Zhong Lian Chen angrily tear the letter into tow and bite it a few time. She then throw it onto the ground and stomp on it a few time. But her anger is still there…. Finally she use the scissors to cut the piece of paper into hundreds of pieces before flushing it down the toilet!
Zhong Lian Chen felt that she should cry but her anger is so extreme, there were no tears. Moreover, the parents are not home. Even the servants are out to buy food. So she do not even have anyone to complain.
She calmed down a little. She felt that she will not tell the others first. It is too embarrassing, that she was dump by a guy.
However, she is about to explode. So she must find a place to breath.
Zhong Lian Chen dug out her perennial suitcase. Very good. Her passport is still valid and the visa did not expire. She want to go somewhere far away to lick the wound.
She left a note for her parents and quickly ran away.
Goodbye Cheng Shao Rong! The next time I come back, if I still remember who you are, I will follow your surname! XXXX!
Epilogue 3.25: Special Accidental Episode
Saying that the heart was severely traumatize, Zhong Lian Chen took the morning flight and fled across the ocean to a place far away.
She telephone the family to tell them that she is safe. But she did not bother to explain to them what had happened. Her cell phone is of course off.
She called her older cousin brother and requested for him to help her to deal with the aftermath. Zhong Lian Chen of course does not dare to face her father and mother.
She stayed in one place for a few days before changing the place. This is to avoid the family from finding out where she is and coming to bring her home. Before she leave the place, she would locate a phone and call to inform them that she is still alive.
Zhong Lian Chen traveled and played for two weeks and her mood improved. Now, thinking about Cheng Shao Rong no longer angered her.
And she thought, fortunately she did not marry Cheng Shao Rong. Or else, next time when she want to go abroad, the process would be troublesome. The health examination and approval procedures will be very complicated.
But….. hey……. Forget it……. TMD….. Really is hell!………….. Pooh!
On this day, when Zhong Lian Chen confirm the next leg of itinerary and is preparing to buy the ticket, the cashier politely said to her: “I am sorry Miss. Your credit card is decline.”
How can that be!
She changed one. Also a failure.
Replace with another one. The same.
Zhong Lian Chen uses her smart head and think. Immediately understand that this is the doing of her family. Because her credit cards are all prepared by her brothers, the set of passwords she do not have it. Moreover, as long as they want to harm her, they will have plenty of ways.
Damn! Her hotel bill is yet settled. Huge amount of money. Of course, she do not have enough cash on her. They know that she rarely keep cash on her. So after careful calculation, this way, she could not escape.
If know that this would happen today, she would have overdraft her credit card yesterday. No, if she know this would happen today, she would not have used the credit card. Now they have found her whereabouts.
She really did not have any sense of crisis ah!
Zhong Lian Chen bitterly returned to her room.
She is not worried about survival. There will certainly be someone who would help her settle the bill. And then bring her home.
But then, she will soon be extradited like a prisoner.
Who would be coming?
Her father? She is done! She might as well directly jump down now. She glanced down. So high. So she gave up the plan. Or pretended to faint? After all, she has low blood sugar. So this should be able to fool them for a while.
Cousin brothers? Better not be them. She is afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions and rushed to bite their neck.
Dad or brother’s secretary? The best are these people. Because they are afraid of her, so she might be able to get her way……
Zhong Lian Chen thought of the next strategies. She felt a little relief but the deep sadness hit her.
Her recent life is somehow every unbearable ah. Drunk and lost it, got cheated into engagement and then….. no unilateral love, and when she finally started to really love the fiancée, she was ruthlessly abandon. And now…. She was framed by her most trusted family. So she could not do anything but stay in the hotel waiting for them to come and bring her home. Because if she escapes now, it may not even require several hours, it may be the federal police coming to catch her.
She is simply more desolated than Xiang Yu. Ah, those are concubine.
She was even more miserable than the little girl who had sold the matches. The little girl could even play with the match to her fantasy. And she whom have just drawn two boxes of matches, choked herself for 5 minutes and also burnt some of her own lock of hair.
Zhong Lian Chen grew more and more aggrieved as she thought about it. She lay down on the bed crying for a while and then fell asleep. When she woke up, she realized that several hours had passed. But those sent to bring her home has not arrived.
This is giving her great mental torture ah. Anyway, give her a knife to kill herself mah.
She pace around in the room and then decided to go out to take some fresh air. This way, she could also take advantage of the Chinese consulate if they are still open. To explore and if necessary, she might seek help from them.
She changed her clothes and was about to leave when there is a call from the front desk saying that there is a friend waiting for her in the lobby.
What a timing. Her earlier shocked and the anger resulted her in missing her lunch. Now, she is so hungry. Even if she wants to escape, she do not have the strength.
Hiding also cannot escape. Zhong Lian Chen pace around her room for 5 minutes and finally reluctantly head down to the lobby.
The one waiting for her in the lobby is a little beyond her expectations. Perhaps it is not right to say ‘a little.’ It should be ‘seriously very greatly’ beyond her expectation!
Epilogue 3.26: Special Accidental Episode
Turned out to be her only ‘crush’ from young, Cheng Shao Chen!
Zhong Lian Chen is shocked to the extend, she only stood there stunned. Forgetting to even say hello.
Cheng Shao Chen said: “Give you half an hour to pack up your things.”
She finally recovered. “No Need. 15 minutes is enough. You wait for me for a while.” Then quickly rushed to the elevator.
Hey, not ah! She planned before how to deal with the person whom were coming to pick her isn’t it? How even now she so honestly submitted herself? Disgruntled distraught!
When Zhong Lian Chen realized this, she is already sitting on the plane heading back to motherland. Now, she really no longer can escape.
Moreover, Cheng Shao Chen timing is so accurate. She did not even get to eat anything, she was already whisked onto the flight. Now really hungry.
“Brother Shao Chen, I am hungry.” She whispered.
“The food will be served shortly. You can have two servings.”
“I hate airline meals.”
“Then you sleep for a while. When you are asleep, you would not feel hungry.” Cheng Shao Chen turned the English newspaper without looking up.
“Why did you not let me have dinner before boarding the plane?”
“If you eat, you will have enough strength. If you run way, it will be strenuous to catch you.”
She feel like crying. Even her dearest Brother Xiao Chen is bullying her. But she was so hungry she did not have the strength to cry.
Zhong Lian Chen cried in her hear. Sob Sob! She is her father and mother, and even her uncle who care so much for the stray cats and dogs unwanted and unloved poor child.
The stewardess finally served the meal. Cheng Shao Chen very politely push his share in front of her.
“I want a very strong cup of coffee and four cakes.” Said Zhong Lian Chen.
Cheng Shao Chen finally turned around and looked at her. He turned to the stewardess and said lightly: “Give her a glass of juice. And give me two packets of tissue.”
Well, although she did not get what she wanted, but her Brother Xiao Chen is still very concerned about her.
After eating, Zhong Lian Chen finally have the strength. She started sharing her recent months of miserable experience one by one to the listening Cheng Shao Chen. She have been holding it back in her heart for a long time without a chance to share with anyone. Finally there is a living person who is listening to her.
The more she share the more aggrieved she got. She first quietly shed the tears. And it turned into whispered sobbing and slowing the tears just flow continuously getting heavier by the minutes.
Cheng Shao Chen is really lacking in sympathy. She cried so miserably but he is indifferent with his eyes still staring at the English newspaper in his hand. But when her tears is about to flow into her mouth, he will reach out to her and wiping her tears with tissues. Really strange, he obviously is not looking at her.
But Cheng Shao Chen is a good listener. He did not tell her to shut up. Not say anything while she is talking. But do not know even if he is listening. No matter, anyway, Zhong Lian Chen pouring her heart grievance out, she already feeling much better.
But of course when she is narrating, she only focus on exaggeration of Cheng Shao Rong’s deeds. And she never mention their one-night stand events.
Later, Zhong Lian Chen realized that Cheng Shao Chen is listening to every words that she said. Because when she mention the letter, Cheng Shao Chen even smiled and with the expression of surprised and laughing: “When did this kid become so bold?”
Zhong Lian Chen cried up in anger and aroused the other passengers in the first-class cabin to turn around and looked at them. Fortunately, there are not many first-class guests.
The stewardess hurried over: “Is this lady uncomfortable? Do I need to do anything for you?”
Cheng Shao Chen waited till her sobbing settled and then patted her shoulder. “Well, well, that letter should not have been written by Xiao Rong. Or he is just teasing you.”
Zhong Lian Chen after the loud cry earlier, could no longer cry. But she still want to pretend to cry: “Sob sob. You are bad people. Even you bully me!”
“Later when you want to cry, find a place and cry loudly just like just now. Just crying is too depressing and is detrimental to your health. People listening to you will also feel uncomfortable.”
Zhong Lian Chen close her eyes and play dead…… No, pretending to sleep.
This flight journey is so long. There are many more hours. She really have no face to see anyone.
The plane finally landed. On the way home, Cheng Shao Chen took her to eat her favourite food. She was very happily eating when someone came to give Cheng Shao Chen tickets. Only one ticket.
Zhong Lian Chen asked: “Brother Shao Chen, where are you going? You want to leave me here alone to fend myself?”
Cheng Shao Chen said mildly: “How could I? Uncle Zhong went on a business trip. I am sending you to him.”
“Which Uncle Zhong?”
“Your father.”
Epilogue 3.27: Special Accidental Episode
Zhong Lian Chen cried again. The countless eyes around the luxurious restaurant turned to look at her.
Cheng Shao Chen raised the magazine in his hand to block his face. He hope that passer-by will think that he has no relationship with the woman in front of him.
But then Zhong Lian Chen went around his side and pulled his sleeves: “You cannot leave me here regardless. Sob Sob. This time, my father will certainly locked me up for at least a month. I don’t want! You bring me along where you go!”
So a few hours later, Zhong Lian Chen successfully escape her father’s influence and is temporary safe.
Getting out of the airport, a spacious car is waiting for them. In the car is also seated a middle-aged woman with a serious expression. She saw them, got up and politely salute. There is still no smile on her face, as if everyone owed her money.
Cheng Shao Chen did not seem to mind. He introduced her to Zhong Lian Chen: “This is Manager Leng.” And to the driver, he said: “I need to first go to the company to attend a meeting.”
In the car, Cheng Shao Chen instructed Manager Leng: “Prepare a credit card for Ms Zhong. Only to be used in this city. Find Ms Zhong a place to stay. Bring her to buy some clothes and necessities within reasonable range. Meet all her requirement.”
Manager Leng nodded earnestly.
Cheng Shao Chen stressed again: “Within a reasonable range.”
Manager Leng nodded again.
Before getting off the car, Cheng Shao Chen took out a bank card and hand over to Zhong Lian Chen. And he confiscated her passport.
Zhong Lian Chen wiped her tears and said: “Brother Shao Chen, they are all bad. You are the best person to me.”
Cheng Shao Chen said: “You be obedient. You are not allowed to be naughty. Not allowed to cause trouble. Or else I would be worst than them.”
Zhong Lian Chen nodded obediently. “I will listen to you, Brother Shao Chen. You are better than Cheng Shao Rong a hundred times.” She thought for a while and added: “A million times better.”
Cheng Shao Chen looked up the sky at the plane in the sky: “The recent inflation is really very powerful.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few days later, Zhong Lian Chen is having dinner together with her older cousin brother, Zhong Zhen Kai and Cheng Shao Chen.
“Xiao Chen this girl. Ran over to the other side of the world. Even the phone is off. Only calling home every two or three days to report that she is safe. The entirely family went through anxious time because of her. Let see how we ‘clean’ her up after this.” That time, Zhong Zheng Kai had a few drinks and said hardly.
“If you dare to touch a single hair of hers in the foreign land, be careful that she goes to the police. At time, you will not even be able to return to homeland.” Cheng Shao Chen coolly said.
“Ah, according to her state that time, the damage is absolutely large. So I worry about it. My uncle told me to go and bring her back. But this ghostlike girl, before I could make a move, she changed place. And how do I have the ability to catch her?” Zhong Zheng Kai said sadly.
“There is method. You guys just did not had the guts to do it. Drive her to the corner without food. Cut all her credit card usage. This girl have never suffered. She certainly would be calling home for help after a few days.”
“Damn! That is my baby cousin sister. Your comrade sister. You are really poisonous.” Zhong Zheng Kai is fully awaken from his drunken state.
“That is why I said you don’t have the heart to do it. So you still wait for her to play outside till she is tired and come home. Sooner or later.” Cheng Shao Chen said without a care.
“You know my sister very well.” Zhong Zhen Kai wiped the amount of sweat. “If I dare to let her suffer a few dare outside there, when she return, she may potentially kill me.”
“I am heading over to where she is for a business trip. You really do not need me to bring her back?” Cheng Shao Chen said casually to Zhong Zhen Kai.
Zhong Zhen Kai almost cried out and rushed to embrace Cheng Shao Chen. “Yes, of course. Brother, you must bring our Xiao Chen home. The sooner the better. I will do whatever you command.”
Epilogue 3.28: Special Accidental Episode
A month later, Zhong Lian Chen and Cheng Shao Rong finally reconciled with some details omitted in the middle.
They will of course as what Grandmother Zhong had said. As long as Cheng Shao Rong really want to marry Zhong Lian Chen, the marriage will definitely happen. The Cheng family children best criteria is keeping their promises even if they have to overcome ten thousand of difficulty to achieve the end goal. Zhong Lian Chen has always been strong on the outside but in actual fact, she is a real ‘chicken’. So the result is inevitable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The beautiful dusk, golden sunset, Cheng Shao Rong hand in hand with Zhong Lian Chen walking through the center of the square fountain. They startled a few pigeons.
Cheng Shao Rong rub her fingers and asked: “Do you want to eat cotton candy?”
Zhong Lian Chen: “Am I that childish? I want to eat candied fruits!”
Cheng Shao Rong went to buy her a lot of candied fruit. All the different tastes. Zhong Lian Chen ate till her ear pained.
Next to them is a pair of couple with white hair, walking while looking at them with a smile. They said: “What a sweet and loving couple. The guy even use candied fruits to make into a bouquet flowerlike to give her.”
Biting into the candied fruits Zhong Lian Chen said: “That lady with the surname Piao, why suddenly become so kind? I thought she would certainly take the chance to stave off the image of both of us, turning us into ugly people. Especially the smart and lovely me. And then make our beautiful story into a beautiful and vulgar absurd script to make money. Why she suddenly turn so nice? I am not used to it!”
Cheng Shao Rong said: “How can the world be so cheap? It is said that her script is written but 2nd brother sent her a cheque of two million with the condition that she destroy the original scrip that was written.”
Zhong Lian Chen whispered a curse. Cheng Shao Rong turned and looked at her. He saw her biting back her tongue.
Zhong Lian Chen said: “2nd brother is very compromising, unfamiliar to his evil forces. He is too kind to this woman.”
Cheng Shao Rong said: “Who knows what guilt that the woman use again him. Or what damage she is using from the trap to try to frame him. You know, 2nd sister in law situation is a little special. So 2nd brother is worried…. Really strange… why 2nd sister in law like the author name Piao so much? Almost as if it is her friend. 2nd sister in law is such a tasteful woman… in short, 2nd brother has a headache because of this.”
Zhong Lian Chen said: “Isn’t her novel finished? The outcome is set. So want to change may not be necessary successful.”
Cheng Shao Rong sighed: “Isn’t there a thing call changing script? A few hundreds of words changed will change the outcome of the story. 2nd brother gave her face. Letting her have her way.”
“It is better to change the two million dollars into coins. Put her into the pit and then bury her with the coins. Then the world would be much cleaner.”
Cheng Shao Rong said: “She is not guilty of evil. But you have to stay away from her. So that you don’t learn her bad habits.”
Zhong Lian Chen thought: “In fact, Sister Piao is not a bad person. Occasionally she have a strange temper. But come to think of it, compared to the security if sister comes, she is good to me. She basically do not bully me and still arranged for some games for me to play while waiting. She really loves me ah….”
Cheng Shao Rong glanced at her: “That is consider a good person? Then you have to please me. Every year when we go and visit 2nd brother for a week, I will chat with 2nd sister in law and you go and handle 2nd brother.”
Zhong Lian Chen: “Really?” Then with a little frustration: “Better not! Later Brother Shao Chen will irritate me.”
Cheng Shao Rong gentle snorted and mutter under his breath to the ears of Zhong Lian Chen: “That is the purpose. To let him irritate you.”
Epilogue 3.29: Special Accidental Episode
The debut of Shao Gen Jin, a soldier in uniform.
Shao Gen Jin: This is how it is. In the implementation of the task into the disaster area, because of the situation with many uncertainties with high risk, we have all the comrades to write a letter. So that should anything happen to the comrades and they are killed, we will send the letter from the organization to the family as their last words. At that time, my mind flashes countless memories of childhood……
General Public: Shao Gen Jin… please get to the main point.
Shao Gen Jin: Yes. Who do you want me to talk about? Cheng Shao Rong…. Oh, he wrote the letter the fastest. After he sealed the letter, later he found another piece of paper and then began to write the second letter…. It is to his fiancée. (Shao Gen Jin took a long pause here…)
General Public: It is departing letter only when something happen to the comrade. Why send it out?
Shao Gen Jin: Blame it on me for being such a good friend. When we wrote those letters, we look dignified and solemn as if we really want to say goodbye to our family. Only when Shao Rong wrote the letter to his fiancée that he had the smile on his mouth. The level is not really high, but we can imagine the content that he wrote…. Must be sweet and loving. Then… we withdraw from the disaster areas and those letters were all given back to everyone. Shao Rong because of emergency was assigned to another assignment in another area. So he asked me to take the letters on his behalf and destroy those letters.
General Public: Oh!
Shao Gen Jin: We are buddies from childhood. And I know him well. This guy is terrible. If not forced, I am afraid this life he will never say any words of love from his heart. My ‘sister-in-law’ would rarely have the opportunity to listen to his heart and loving words, how can miss this opportunity? So I cleverly sent the original letter that he wrote to his fiancée.
General Public: Brother Shao, when Cheng Shao Rong know the truth, did he beat you up?
Shao Gen Jin: We are brothers ah. As the saying goes, brotherhood, such a hand-footed woman, how to hand-foot for the purpose of anti-purpose…. Of course, when he know about the truth, it was a long time after. That time, we were thousands of miles apart. Even if he wanted to beat me, I was beyond his reach…. Cheng Shao Rong has always been healthy, but he suddenly had health problem. He vomited blood slightly. But the appropriate release of the blood is also helpful to him. So he should be very grateful to me, just not good in expressing his emotion. Don’t you think so?
General Public: Time to go. Shao Gen Jin, thank you for your time.
Epilogue 3.30: Special Accidental Episode
Zhong Lian Chen’s wedding is just like how she lost her virginity… it came unknown and unprepared to her.
Initially she had discussed with Cheng Shao Rong and decided to extend the wedding for two years. In the two years, she and Cheng Shao Rong will enjoy the long distance relationship.
Cheng Shao Rong had no comments.
As a results……….
It was only a party. Maternal grandmother’s eightieth birthday celebration at the Grand Hotel where there are a lot of friends and family invited.
Cheng Shao Rong happen to also be on a long holiday.
Someone came over in help Zhong Lian Cheng with the makeup. Grandmother say that she wanted her by her side, so must be properly groomed and dressed up.
The makeup took a long time and also the hair is neatly groomed. Zhong Lian Chen felt strange: “Is it necessary to be so grand?”
And later she was given a milky white dress with many layers. Zhong Lian Chen said: “This is too exaggerated. Not as if I am getting married!”
And then…… announcement was made to the guests of the banquet. Maternal grandmother said with a smile: “Welcome everyone to this old lady eightieth birthday party. But there is a much more important program for tonight that I would like to announce here now. That tonight is my precious baby granddaughter Zhong Lian Chen with another precious child that I watched growing up, Cheng Shao Rong’s Wedding Banquet. We did not notify you in advance is because we wanted to surprise you.”

The hall are filled with friends and relatives. Zhong Lian Chen die not have the courage to escape the marriage. She pretended to be a happy bride nestled in the arms of Cheng Shao Rong.
Her face was smiling but through her clenched teeth, she said: “Cheng Shao Rong, you are dead!”
Cheng Shao Rong said with an innocent face: “I also do not know ah”
In the lounge….:
Zhong Lian Cheng: “How come I don’t know that I am getting married today?”
Aunty: “Oh, sorry. Forgot to inform you both.”
Zhong Lian Chen: “But we do not have any marriage registration ah?”
Aunty: “Fortunately, the guests does not know. Quickly make up for it tomorrow.”
In short, Zhong Lian Chen’s complaint went on deaf ear. So she was inexplicably deceived into marriage.
Epilogue 3.31: Special Accidental Episode
~~~~~~~~~~
In front of the special amateur journalist, Shao Gen Jin said:
A few of the comrades and I are very familiar with Cheng Shao Rong. So we are actually very puzzled for a long time on how Shao Rong and Xiao Chen started their relationship together.
Before this, he occasionally mention the name Zhong Lian Chen. But more as a growing up playmate, also like a younger sister. There were no slightest clue of him loving her. Why so suddenly she became his fiancée. Really a big doubt.
And Cheng Shao Ron was dating a woman named Jiang Wei for many years isn’t it? Although he also rarely mentioned her.
At the same time, Cheng Shao Rong is very tight lipped about the whole thing. We attempted many time to try to force him to share with us but failed.
Well, since there are so many unsolved mysteries, this is just one of it.
I do not want to waste my previous brain cells.
What? Talk about the wedding scene? Oh, okay.
In fact, there is nothing to talk about. It is just like another wedding ceremony.
Just more luxurious, since both side of the family are wealthy.
The bride and groom are more beautiful than average people
The wedding dinner is more delicious.
Yes, I heard a little talk within the family.
“We are finally a real family now.” Grandmother Cheng said. “But cheating them, the children will not rebel back?”
Grandmother Zhong said: “The two children are solid. They will not have any strength to rebel back.”
Shao Rong’s mother said to Lian Chen’s mother: “No matter, it is better than us worrying about it day after day.”
Hey, what is this? I do not understand.
Shao Rong and Xiao Chen are still arguing outside for a while.
Xiao Chen said: “You swear that today has nothing to do with you.”
Shao Rong said: “Have you had enough? This is the third time.”
Xiao Chen said: “Then you make the oath. If you lie today, you will have to endure my lifetime of bully and slave abuse!”
Shao Rong said: “it is necessary to do this oath?”
Ha Ha Ha. But still did not understand.
Yes, at the wedding, I met a particularly beautiful little girl. Simply like the little angel.
The little angel pulled at my pants and said: “Uncle, uncle, you are so handsome. I love you so much!”
I was flattered: “Really?”
The little angel smiled: “Do you have a girlfriend?”
I said: “No”
The little angel smiled and said: “Then I introduce you to a good one, okay?”
I said: “Okay. Where?”
The little angel pointed to her nose: “That is me. You must wait till I grow up. So you must not fall in love with anyone else. You know that you must wait for me to grow up.”
I said: “That…. This…. You must be kidding!”
The little angel said: “You have promised me. A man making a promise that must be kept. Let’s do the pinky promise. If you do anything behind my back, your nose will grow to be as long as the elephant trunk. Oh, my name is Cheng Qian Yu. What is your name?”
This is not an angel. This is a devil!
Let me see, what else happen at the wedding. Ah ah. How can I forget it! I finally met my dream ‘wife’. Let me think of how to describe this… hey, I really regret not learning the language. She is quiet and elegant, a beautiful Dutch with a sweet smile. How come I never get to meet this woman before…….

Zhong Lian Cheng after marriage discussion
A: A forced love confession
Zhong Lian Chen: Cheng Shao Rong, we name our child ‘Cheng Ai Lian’, okay?
Cheng Shao Rong: Are you pregnant?
Zhong Lian Chen: No. Just preparing ahead of time.
Cheng Shao Rong: The name sounded vulgar.
Zhong Lian Chen: Where is it vulgar? ‘Ai Lian’…. Such a meaningful name.
Cheng Shao Rong: In 姑姑 name, there is the word ‘Ai – 爱 (love)’ and your name has ‘Lian – 恋 (love)’. In my family, the re-name of the elders name is not allowed.
姑姑 (pin ying: Gūgū) – means aunty that is younger than his father
Zhong Lian Chen: In short, you do not love me!
Cheng Shao Rong: There we go again!
Zhong Lian Chen: You do not love me! Sob sob sob
Cheng Shao Rong: How is it that I do not love you?
Zhong Lian Chen: How much do you love me?
Cheng Shao Rong: How much you want me to love you is how much I love you.
Zhong Lian Chen: I am very demanding? You are so preoccupied. You never give me any opinion.
Cheng Shao Rong: Oh. Such a heavy statement. I love you so much till I would even return from death. Until the end of time.
Zhong Lian Chen: Ah… this is much better.
Zhong Lian Chen: Please help me to get a cup of soda.
Cheng Shao Rong: Why? Are you feeling unwell?
Zheng Lian Chen: My stomach is feeling discomfort.
B: Abettor
A year later, Zhong Lian Chen showed Cheng Qian Yu her wedding photos.
Cheng Qian Yu: Auntie, your wedding dress is beautiful.
Zhong Lian Chen: When Yu is grown up, you can wear wedding dress too.
Cheng Qian Yu: I want to have ten marriage! So that I can have 10 wedding dresses!
Zhong Lian Chen: You want to marry a person ten times or would like to marry ten different people?
Cheng Qian Yu: I don’t know. What do you think is better, Aunty?
Zhong Lian Chen: Of course, marrying ten people would be best! Us women should have a good youth. Mixing with men, it is indeed sad!
Cheng Qian Yu: I see, Aunty! I will try to make up for your regrets!
C: The wicked first complaint
Zhong Lian Chen called her eldest cousin brother to complaint: Brother Kai, Cheng Shao Rong bully me!
Cousin Brother: Poor Cheng Shao Rong. Finally he has a holiday but he is troubled to death!
~~~~~~~~
Zhong Lian Chen called the 3rd cousin brother: Brother Lei, Cheng Shao Rong bullied me!
3rd cousin brother: Hahahahaha…. Cheng Shao Rong always give in to you. And still you cannot win the battle with him. You are really useless ah….
~~~~~~~~~
Zhong Lian Chen decided to call Cheng Shao Chen instead. She is convinced that the one that cares for her the most is Cheng Shao Rong. And of course now her brother-in-law, Cheng Shao Chen. This is because he will never be like the two bad guys whom would be sarcastic in front of her.
“Brother Shao Chen, Cheng Shao Rong bully me!”
“Oh, this is not good.”
“Brother Shao Chen, you will help me take revenge!”
“What do you want me to do?”
“Skin him and pull out his tendon!”
“It is too hard. You can do it yourself.”
“Oh. Brother Shao Chen, you promised that no matter who is wrong, you will support me.”
“I mean spiritual support.”
~~~~~~~~~~~
After marriage, Zhong Lian Chen no longer run around the world. Her grandparents and Cheng Shao Rong’s grandparents, her parents and her parents-in-law all lives in three different cities. So she takes turn to stay in each cities, just like a precious little one that is highly demanded by all sides of the families.
Most of her time were spent in doing charity. In the protection of the abused elderly women and children. And also for the abused animals.
Occasionally, she would also published some articles in the newspaper and magazines. The response are very good. Along with the city’s cultural circle, there were several people whom are familiar with her background. They supported her and with some added support, Zhong Lian Chen quickly become a noble mystery beautiful yet elegant and generous intellectual good woman model.
Her two most famous articles are her, ‘experience of the relatives’ – ‘urban observation of the reunion – between death and then’. As well as her own personal experience on the childhood ‘Revolutionary friendship and affection for the development of the feasibility of love’. These two articles became hit that year that ripple and resulted in a huge response as well as triggering a wide range of discussion.
Later, a very unscrupulous author plagiarized her creativity and took these two articles infinitely blending in the surface and then printed two boring book titled:《过客，匆匆》and《作茧自缚》
The enthusiastic readers revealed these two books and gave adverse reactions.
Epilogue 1 – Part 1
Xiao He He never like reading as she was growing up. But Zheng Xie really like reading, so he had required He He to like reading as well.

~ THE END of Epilogue 1 ~
Epilogue 2.1 : Cherished “First Love”
Zheng Xie’s first love came very late. Only in his sophomore year that he publicly acknowledged having a real girlfriend.
In view of his good skin, good net worth as well as civil and military qualification that are good, the so-called love came pretty late.
The reason is pretty general. He had been chased by girls from young until he have grown-up. So he was annoyed by them. Hence, he is not tempted at all.
Even Gao Mo Mo herself is very surprised. She felt that the heaven had drop a piece of golden pie for her.
Who is Zheng Xie? He had difficulty to remember the name of beauties. Even rejecting love letters from others. He actually took a fancy to her. It feels like the fairy tale Cinderella from Grimm’s stories. This freshman Gao Mo Mo, at a glance had a calm personality, average grade points and came from ordinary family…. Really a surprised to everyone.
Gao Mo Mo attracted Zheng Xie this way….
That year in school, the school welcomed a group of students whom were engaged in basketball. Zheng Xie was honored to be sent by the Student Union to coach the women’s basketball team.
Zheng Xie is a good coach. He have very little expression and almost no temper. In the face of the young chattering girls, no matter fat or think, he remain handsome and glamorous while treating them all like cabbage. Later, this cabbage team actually reached the final and won runner-up. Although it is runner-up, the girls college is rare and unknown. Their achievement broke many expectation.
At the celebration dinner, the girls finally stood up and lined up to respect Zheng Xie. Some even sang song for him.
When it is Gao Mo Mo’s turn, the usually shy lanky girl sang ‘Close to you.’ Her singing is adoringly horrible. But she looked very confident and there were pure enchantment too. A little tipsy, while singing, she said loudly into the microphone: “Brother Zheng Xie, today is my birthday. If I could make a wish, if it does not rain tomorrow, please come with me to the mountains to see the maple leaves.”
Everyone whispered and laugh together. They have long planned to tease Zheng Xie today. And this girl caught up in ‘Zheng Xie confession.’ Even Zheng Xie’s buddies whom were present were thinking, ‘I am afraid this child will now be included in Zheng Xie’s blacklist.’
But Zheng Xie reaction was beyond all expectation. He was silent for a second, and then very calmly spoke up: “The weather forecast this morning said, tomorrow would be a sunny day.”
So this was how Gao Mo Mo easily won Zheng Xie’s time to accompany her to see the maple leaves alone. And later, she became his girlfriend.
Unsuspecting girls were very flat. How come no such luck that would fall on their head? And those other girls were more jealous. How come it is not them who caught him?
In fact, in the relationship of male and female, there were a saying that human drinks water and, 冷暖自知. In the eyes of others, the radiant Zheng Xie will never be the same as someone else’s boyfriend. In the morning with a meal waiting in front for the girl, immediately after school will occupy a seat with the girlfriend.
冷暖自知 (pin ying: lěng nuǎn zì zhī) – know by oneself whether it is cold or warm
And he rarely smile, rarely speak. He cannot remember any anniversary. He does not fun and places with many people. He does not like to wait in line in any place and does not like someone standing close to him. He never takes the initiative to hold her hand nor say anything sweet.
But in addition to all these, Zheng Xie is smart, handsome and generous with good temperament with good background.
Although he could not remember any important dates nor her birthday, but often during the non-holiday season, Gao Mo Mo will received a variety of chocolates and expensive doll delivered by Zheng Xie. When she was ill, she will have a large restaurant takeout directly sent to the security room to be delivered to her.
Although he does not like foreign fast food but was willing to accompany her to eat KFC. But he will never line up but handed her the money and let her buy. Although he does not like shopping, he will never go shopping with her but he will be very generous and hand over his bank card for her to go and buy herself. Very occasionally, he even offered to take her to the ice-cream parlor or accompany her to watch a movie.
In short, Gao Mo Mo had always think that he had been perfect. She had been in an unreal state mind, living a day at a time.
Epilogue 2.2 : Cherished “First Love”
Towards the end of the year during the winter, one morning, without prior appointment, Gao Mo Mo appeared in the city where Zheng Xie stayed. On the way to school going through the city, she suddenly want to get off to look around.
She bought the evening train to return. Then she call Zheng Xie to try her luck.
She was lucky. Zheng Xie did not had to travel far. He was not even surprised. She made an appointment to meet at a place. Not a second late, he had appeared in front of her.
Zheng Xie brought her to the parking lot. He personally drove to pick her up. As a sophomore with a car, she is very surprised.
Zheng Xie open the car door for her. As she just sat down into the car, she heard a soft voice: “Hi, 姐姐”
姐姐 (pin ying : Jiě Jiě) – greetings for Older Sister
In the car, sat a little girl. Pale and slender with delicate features. Looking really small. She is looking back at her. She spoke with her hand pressing to half of her face.
Zheng Xie explained: “This is Xiao He He, my sister. Just half an hour ago, she went to the dentist. The anesthetic had not cleared yet.” The little girl nodded.
Gao Mo Mo said: “Hello. We have the same two names structure ah. How old are you?” She remembers Zheng Xie was an only child but she did not ask further.
He He made a ‘14’ with both hands. But she looks nothing like a junior high school students.
“Am I bothering with your plans today? I can actually look around myself.” Gao Mo Mo says politely.
“Nothing. The only task today is to look after this child.”
He He covering her half face that is still under anesthetic and mumbled: “I can play by myself. I do not want to be a light bulb.”
Zheng Xie said: “To be honest, you don’t even think about running around today by yourself.”
While Zheng Xie turned sideways to put on the seat beat, He He pulled her ears and stuck out her tongue, making a face at the back of his head. When Zheng Xie turned around, she immediately restored her cute look.
And then the three of them began the long tour for the day.
The first stop is Ocean Park. Gao Mo MO tried to go along with Zheng Xie in order not to lose sight of him. But Xiao He He looking around like a child, always stays behind.
Zheng Xie always stopped to wait for her. And finally pulled the strap of her bag, just like holding a puppy to get her firmly in sight.
He He this time resisted and said: “I will not wandered off.”
Zheng Xie said: “Recently, there are a trafficking group. Your look is very suitable to being trafficked.”
Gao Mo Mo is very surprised. Because when she went with Zheng Xie, regardless if two person or in a group of people, Zheng Xie always instinctively refused to be close to anyone. If she took the initiative to pull Zheng Xie’s hand, he does not throw her off. But before long, do not know when, she will discover that he had siphoned off his hand.
The second station is to eat. The location is….. KFC. Zheng Xie face is a little speechless.
When he asked Mo Mo, “What do you want to eat?”
Mo Mo said: “Anything. As long as it is convenient.”
He He enthusiastically said: “姐姐, do you like KFC?” with an eager look in her eyes.
Mo Mo carefully consider the situation a little. Although Zheng Xie does not like KFC, but apparently He He loved. So she said: “Well, then we have KFC for lunch.”
He He make the gesture of ‘YEAH’ with her fingers. Zheng Xie then poured cold water on her. “Where to eat has nothing to do with you. Your dentist says that you cannot eat at noon.”
He He said: “The doctor say that I can eat ice-cream at noon and drink iced drinks.”
Zheng Xie frowns at her: “Eating all these cold stuff in winter?”
He He said: “The doctor said, although I cannot eat, I also need to replenish my energy.”
“Then I will send you to get intravenous drip to replenish your energy.”
Gao Mo Mo was surprised. The Zheng Xie that she know, never continuously talk so much. He usually is quiet, not speaking too much.
When He He very generously took away two dollar bills from Zheng Xie’s pocket, she took the initiative and bounce off to queue. Much to Mo Mo’s surprised, Zheng Xie got up and pressed He He’s head. He told her: “Obediently sit down.” Then Zheng Xie actually took the initiative to queue up! This is the first time she saw Zheng Xie queuing! But to He He who obviously did not feel that Zheng Xie lining up to help to buy food is an honorable gesture, also become very picky: “I do not like milk. I want coke.” And continued: “I like chocolate sundae. I do not like the strawberry flavor.”
Epilogue 2.3 : Cherished “First Love”
The third station, to the mall. Zheng Xie waited patiently and review all the doll in the toy area. He He said: “I like the one wearing the yellow color clothes.”
Zheng Xie said: “The pink one is good. Wrap it up…”
He He said: “I like the yellow one.”
The sale staff asked: “Which one do you want in the end?”
Then Zheng Xie said: “Wrap both of them up.” Then he turned around and asked Gao Mo Mo: “Do you have any that you like?”
Gao Mo Mo is not used to this situation.
Passed through the gas station. Zheng Xie got off to refuel. Xiao He He had pro-actively went to sit at the back seat, giving the front seat passenger to Gao Mo Mo.
While waiting, He He had been playing with her new doll while gently humming a song. She sang ‘Close to you’ in a very fluent English.
He He found herself being watched and said frankly: “I am tone deaf. When I was in primary school, my music score had C. Brother taught me this song ten times a day, so that I don’t sing it out of tune. Then I was able to cope with the talent show.”
She saw Mo Mo keeping quiet, so pulled out from her pocket a beautifully packaged candy and handed to her: “Sister, do you like chocolate?” The package of chocolate is very familiar as well as the brand. He He showed Mo Mo the two dolls: “Sister, which one do you prefer? I give you one, okay?”
Gao Mo Mo said: “Your favourite is ice-cream, chocolate and dolls, right?”
He He thought about it and then said: “I also like to watch movies.”
Gao Mo Mo turn the women’s magazines, and read the emotion column that said: most hopeless wait, is not that he will never be as what you wish. But he obviously did it all, is not for you. The article is titled ‘shadow woman’.
Shortly after the start of the new semester, Gao Mo Mo requested for a break up.
Zheng Xie asked quietly: “Are you serious or joking?”
“Seriously.”
“Okay.” Zheng Xie said. He did not ask for any reason nor did he try to retain her.
Many years later, accompanied by her husband while attending a high business meals, Mo Mo met Zheng Xie. She instantly recognized Zheng Xie. But he took a long time before he could remember who she was.
She could then happily showed Zheng Xie her baby pictures. Taking the opportunity, she frankly asked him: “Why did you choose me as a girlfriend then?”
Zheng Xie gave her an answer that is no different from not giving her any answer: “Because at that time, I needed a girlfriend.”
Epilogue 2.4 : Cherished “First Love”
He He’s ‘First Love’
He He has always thought that her first love is Cen Shi. But in accordance to Zheng Xie’s psychological definition of ‘first love’, he has always believed that He He’s first love object is a man named Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo is a very talented young man. He had personally held calligraphy and painting exhibition as a teenager. Often, he leaves a little poem in the local newspaper in small text, so considered as a local minor celebrity. His writings are evil and sharp while his paintings are an alternative. But Xiao He He loved these so much.
When Zheng Xie was heading into his sophomore year that summer, the local television stations organized a month-long comprehensive profile talent competition show. This semi-celebrity actually participated.
Although in he is nothing remarkable in the eyes of Zheng Xie but in He He’s eyes, he is simply a man of God. This is because he is the highest scorer in the painting group, and in the dancing and singing group, he is the highest too. In the calligraphy group, he writes the best and also the most handsome. Moreover, this young man has a melancholy temperament.
He He become a fan of this person to the extend she watched the live broadcast on the TV daily. Once, during the broadcast, there was a sudden power cut. She cried anxiously. Zheng Xie thought that she thoroughly unpromising.
What more unpromising things is yet to come. She had phoned the television stations to protest the unjust judges. She make a total of two calls with the other call with her nose pinched to make it sound different. She even pester Zheng Xie to get her tickets to the live show while holding a handful of flowers for her idol.
Since Zheng Xie went to college, according to his request, He He wrote to him a letter every two weeks. It has to be handwritten and not less than a thousand words.
As he expected, the letter from home, the content is filled with Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo has a single out. The song is ………
Our family Xiao Mo has launched a new poetry and painting sets. The content inside are……
Our family Xiao Mo want to direct and act in a movie. The movie is about…….
Our family Xiao Mo…..
He He more and more daring behavior, later directly copy the text from Xiao Mo into the letter.
Zheng Xie finally became intolerable, and reduce her words requirement is reduced to six hundred words while warning her to not mention the name in the letter.
Still later, he began dating with Gao Mo Mo. As to how both of them had the words Mo, it is purely coincidental.
But Xiao Mo did not hit it big. He confidently invest in his own self-directed and acted in a small budget film. He was hit with a severe blow after the defeat, hence disappeared.
He He was sad after a while and then never mentioned this person again.
After many years later, when Zheng Xie went to the inland city for business, he found vicissitudes of a street painter that look very familiar.
He stopped and looked at him for a long time. He said to the people accompanied him: “This is a very talented people. But a little lofty. Mr Zheng, he is said to have come from your hometown.”
That time, Zheng Xie brought home a gift for He He. It is a very old poetry and signature collection as well as a small He He sketch figurine. The sketch is a picture of her college graduate who was found from the Internet according to Zheng Xie.
He He asked with a puzzled: “Who is Xiao Mo?”
Zheng Xie: “He is your first object of interest.”
He He: “Do not fool me. How would I do something so shameful?”
No matter how Zheng Xie describe her humiliating moments, He He refused to recognize any of them. But she very seriously kept the figurines on the desk and carefully read the Xiao Mo poetry set. And she felt that those poems are familiar.
Then, after 2012, in the entertainment field, there was a man with a melancholy vicissitudes that quickly become popular. He shot his own film, his own records and wrote his own script. He design his own style and was able to write very well. He could draw very well and was touted by media and the cultural circles.
His youth is emerging a middle masquerade that was depressed. And then the hard work of a famous battle to the legend with a concert and news feeds that was well written.
But artist like Xiao Mo are very low-key. In addition to the work itself, he rarely talked about his private affairs.
Until after a few years later when he was more popular, during a talk show, he said: “I want to thank you a girl called Xiao He He and her brother. During my lowest point of life where I completely lost the power of life, her brother met me on the street. He told me that many years ago, his sister was one of my fans. And he hope that I can continue to create good works. At that moment, I suddenly rediscovered the meaning of life.”
This is the most baffling accidental Zheng Xie’s charity that was completed.

This time she stopped screaming. She directly rolled herself with the sheets over onto the other side of the bed. Her body on the side across the bed sheets, she declared:
“Cheng Shao Rong, this matter is to be kept in this room. If you dare to mention this outside of this place, I will end everything with you!”
Uh, “end” is too ambiguous of a word. Change it.
“If you dare to mention this incident later, I will tell your mother!”
Hey, it is not right. This is a trick that you used to use on me when we were children. Now this trick has no use. Change it!
“If you dare to mention this incident, I will report you to your troops for strong xx!”

Epilogue 3.2 : Special Accidental Episode
She resisted temptation so many time. Including those blue-eyed, green eyed, blond and brunette good looking guys. She observed this little reference to the thousands of words, even writing papers is not an issue. She studied so many portions of the X-Rated piece of postural aesthetics with unique and profound insights. She had illusion of the scene countless of times on how romantic it would be filled with ecstasy….
But now, even breaking her head, she could not remember anything about her first night.
In the gloomy morning bell, in the bathroom, the major G pitch continued to scream.
One will hold onto the seat.
Zhong Lian Chen had many ideas about her future. But the structure may not include the involvement of family interests. Those boring and shameless marriage or a child sleeping in the cot that resulted her in a marriage.
Of course, it cannot be avoided if the interest of the marriage. If she had to marry Cheng Shao Chen, she is tolerable.
Well, she was not so hypocritical. She was an honest person. Of course, that feeling is much better than ‘tolerance.’
But of course this is impossible. Because Cheng Shao Chen never take her presence more important than the laurel tree in the yard of his grandmother.
For instance, he will asked her two years after her junior high is over: “Little love, you have graduated from elementary school.”
Or after she had kept short hair style throughout the year, he would say: “Little love. When did you cut your hair?”
Not to mention that when she was fifteen years old, she summon the courage to seriously confess to him: “I love you, Brother Shao Chen.”
Cheng Shao Chen whom was intently watching the laurel leaves turned and looked at her: “Uh?”
Her crystal clear glass heart had crashed and broken into many pieces.
Although a few seconds later, her little brother Chen miraculously react that she had just said something. And then his reciprocity and casual answer to her: “Oh, I like you.” Then there are some additional conditions: “When you do not give me trouble all the time.”
Zhong Lian Chen innocent crush was never officially received in the field.
The only good news is that, everyone else call her “Little Chen”. Only Cheng Shao Chen called her “Little Love”. What a unique title. Although his intention is to no want their name to be mixed up.
But the sad past did not leave any psychological shadow on her. She happily flirt with variety of guys. Happy to talk about one after another love. But her heart is that the most superb guy must always achieve the following conditions: apathy but not cold. Slender fingers that can play musical instruments. Tall and think that is good in sport. Sound that is magnetic and cold with dimples when laughing.
Zheng Lian Chen’s love is just so boring.
Epilogue 3.3 : Special Accidental Episode
But she is being silly. She never had the fantasy to get together with this little guy, Cheng Shao Rong!
The degree of cousins’ genes should be high, but how is it that they are miles apart in their personality.
But why is the fate of such impermanence. She appreciate that Cheng Shao Chen, whom she see a few times throughout the year. And this contradict this Cheng Shao Rong, where he will appear just like the three daily meals in front of her.
This is because both of them grew up away from their parents. He lived with his grandparents while she stay with her maternal grandparents. In the courtyard, they happen to be comrades and also are neighbors.
So when her grandparents needs to be away and worried that nanny is not able to control her, she would often be sent to their home. So when the old couple is not home, without much financial concern, she was sent to the neighbor house. Often she treat her own home just like a hotel.
If it is not because of this reason, she would never want to be a close acquaintance with this guy, Cheng Shao Rong.
Cheng Shao Rong from his younger childhood days is just like a fine Swiss watch. He acts according to the set of tracks, not a second of bad move. Simply not a slightest error.
His love for the motherland, he is concerned about the collective. He highly respected his teachers and are united with his fella students. In one word, he is simply outstanding! In short, there is not a disadvantage as there are no mistakes. Just a boring guy.
Elementary school, he said: “Zhong Lian Chen, you cannot swear.”
Junior High school, he said: “Zhong Lian Chen, your skirt is too short.”
In high school, he said: “Zhong Lian Chen, girls cannot smoke.”
When in college…… luckily during college years, he was serving in the national service, so he is not around to control.
It is all to blame on him.
Three hours later, Zhong Lian Chen is already sitting on the southernmost tip of the aircraft. She needs to find a blue sky picturesque place to rest for a few days to steady her nerves.
She was spared too hurried, so forget the principle of gender equality. Should have talk less while investigating the charges in the five-star hotel room AA system problems.
But when she went, Cheng Shao Rong’s face is really ugly. If she re-tender the tender spot, she did not know if he would accidentally strangled her.
Her death is a small matter. But the hurt to the country pillar of culture, it would be such a waste.
Zhong Jia Zui respected elders commented to the junior: “Lian Chen, this child is very good-natured.”
We have no misunderstanding on the meaning of the old man. He was never concern about Zhong Lian Chen’s gentle and virtuous character.
The old man subtext: This heartless child. Intuit is not the same as other member of the family.
Zhong Jia Shi is a scholarly brother. A civilian with Confucian mind. He is very attentive and careful with all things except Zhong Lian Chen.
Ms. Zhong’s academic performance had in a year suddenly fell to the tenth place. It shocked the class. Only she nonchalantly said: “It’s all right. Next time I can rocket my progress.”
Ms Zhong learned dance for nine years before she managed to enter quadrennial competition. The day before, she fell and twisted her feet. So she lost the possibility of a huge chance to win. The teacher cried while she gladly said: “Oh hey! Thank goodness it is my foot and not my face. If it is my face, I would be too shameful to see anything.”
Her first boyfriend abandon her and left with her best friend. Her friends are very angry. But she look normal: “Fortunately he did not change his heart after I marry him. If that would had happen, my lost would have been big.”
Because Ms Zhong had this and other liberal-mind. So by the time the plan landed after over an hour, she had already got out of her frustration and the loss of virginity. With a light heart, she looked out at the clouds outside the windows.
Although she is not willing to admit it, but the process of less than melt. Cheng Shao Rong is indeed a very handsome guy. He is tall and good looking.
Rolled between the sheet with such a person, there is really no lost.
If it happens that he is a small person, so ha ha ha, but she had gained from it.
But, she is still troubled. She actually did not remember any details of last night.
It’s her body. How could she not have the right to know!!!!
Epilogue 3.4 : Special Accidental Episode
But Zhong Lian Chen can remember the incident from earlier.
In order to apply for a job, she had come to that city.
Her long-awaited work, which she had did a lot of preparation.
And now she was completely denied any adequate.
Zhong Lian Chen is not satisfied: “Give me a reason.”
Answer: First, Ms Zhong is too beautiful. Second, Ms Zhong net worth is too good.
Fxxk!
As the saying goes, bad. This is really the case.
Then, she met her former boyfriend in an upstart in a hotel, Xiao Ren Dezhi. He disgusted her for a long time. She had severe disorders aesthetics deep inside her.
If she wants to write her own memoirs, this man’s existence would be described as one that brought her a lot of pain.
She wandered at night on the bustling road. The sky suddenly without warning, began to pour rain. She promptly fled to the big hotel underground bar, semi-wet or drenched.
That ambiguous light bar psychedelic music. In order to warm her cold body, she ordered two glasses of spirits and drank them. Then she saw Cheng Shao Rong in the dim light.
Although they have not been too friendly over the past years, but they have also not formally met for many years. After half an hour, they relationship felt very cordial.
Zhong Lian Cheng pat on Cheng Shao Rong’s shoulder: “Yah, Rong er, it turns out to be you. A good boy like you also come to this place!”
Cheng Shao Rong dodge her little claws: “Zhong Lian Chen, you are still the same. Like this, how to get your married?”
Zhong Lian Chen hooked his neck and truffle his hair: “Oh, time flies. Our Rong Er has already grown up. I almost could not recognize.”
Cheng Shao Rong brushed her hand aside: “Zhong Lian Chen, men and women should keep a distance, do you not understand?”
So they separate themselves away by half a meter and continue drinking. There is no idle chat between them.
“Bachelorette should not come to this place.”
“You’re able to come to this place. Why I cannot come? Do not bother me. I am in a bad mood.”
“I am also in a bad mood. So you don’t bother me.”
Things that can put him into a bad mood must be interesting. Zheng Lian Chen love to play her nosy instinct. After an hour, she finally managed to dig out the reason. He just broke up with his girlfriend.
“Jiang Wei?”
“Correct”
“Wow Cheng Shao Rong. She had spent most of her youth years with you. You actually dump her.”
“She dump me.”
A good rejection. Zhong Lian Chen acclaimed in her heart. But with a look of compassion, she said: “Jiang Wei really did not know that you are such a good young man. Holding the flashlight, one also cannot find anything wrong between both of you. Could it be just a misunderstanding? Do you need me to help…..”
“There is no misunderstanding. She claimed that I am too handsome so she don’t feel safe. And she said that my family is too rich, making her depressed.”
Zhong Lian Chen spray the wine out while laughing. “Rong er Rong er, a few years not meeting you, you now have this sense of humor.”
As a result, a few minutes later, someone caused trouble in the bar. Gamba kick boxing. Cheng Shao Rong being a gentlemen guarded Zhong Lian Chen. She was holding the bottle of wine while lying on the shoulder of Cheng Shao Rong watching the enjoyable fighting scene: “Cheng Shao Rong, I bet that the little man in black will win.”
“You are thoroughly bored.”
“If he loses, I will drink this bottle of brandy.”
“Zhong Lian Chen, how come your clothes are so wet?”
“Aiya, stupid! Left hook, right hook!”
Cheng Shao Rong drag her towards the door while she glide her foot along the wall: “You are so naïve. How can you be so childish! Go and shower and then change your clothes.”
Well, her pale memories stop here.

Epilogue 3.5: Special Accidental Episode
Second – Blow up a little difficult
Zhong Lian Chen under the blue sky and fine white sands waves resort and have a leisure tour around it.
Occasionally out of boredom, she would try again to recall the supposedly counted as one of the hallmarks of her life. The scene from that day!
Although her character is habitually careless, but no matter how much, after all, she did inherited her family point of being careful. She also have good thinking genes. Very occasionally, she will also have the research spirit.
She just grabbed her hair while thinking about that day. Ah thinking about it! She only vaguely remembered her tugging away on Cheng Shao Rong. And then they tugged back and forth. And then…… screen is blank.
However, according to her understanding of Cheng Shao Rong over so many years, as well as a profound understanding on her own, plus she is said to have a very good logical reasoning ability, there is no obligation to infer blame. The happening probability distribution are as follows:
Cheng Shao Rong rape her: 5% (or less)
They cannot help and lost themselves: 0%
She rape Cheng Shao Rong: 95% (or higher)
This conclusion really shame her.
But, Cheng Shao Rong is a strong and healthy guy whom is also a taekwondo master. While she is a weak current woman. Her sports scores never pass the edge of the struggle….. then how could she be such a genius, could have made him into submission?
She is able to think openly person. But she cannot stand the problem with no solution. She could not think of an answer and that resulted her into headache. So she makes up a few scenes to comfort herself.
Assumption 1:
Rong Er – Come on. Drunk is a solution to unhappiness. Once you are drunk, you will forget everything.
I will have 1 glass and you have 3 glasses. Why? Because you are a man!
Finger guessing game! Who cheat you… you go and find a witness!
Then, her bad mood melt away after being drunk.
She would then have the best of intention to help him take off his clothes. And then she looked at the sleeping half-naked beauty in front of her. So……… (leaving the omitted part to your discretion)
Assumption 2:
Cheng Shao Rong, let’s wrestle!
Okay, okay. I know. Let’s do judo!
You need to give way to me. Why? I am a woman!
The very gentlemanly Cheng Shao Rong give in a lot to her. She finally pressed him below her body. Her disgraceful because of this hard-won victory got carried away. Dancing, dancing and dancing. Suddenly dizzy, she fell…..
Cheng Shao Wong, why you press me?
Don’t allow me to move? I am bias! I move, I move move move!
Ha ha ha… how red your face is. Cute! Yeah. Let me squeeze. Pinch me, I will squeeze……
She touch left and right, pinch and finally……..(leaving the omitted part to your discretion)
Assumption 3:
Hide the face. Too unbearable. The image is too detrimental!
Epilogue 3.6: Special Accidental Episode
Zhong Lian Chen nearly did not get any news on Cheng Shao Rong for nearly a month.
Although she does not want to get his message, but putting that incident aside, whatever the outcome, they are also considered refresher in the foreign land. He should also just check on her, right?
But thinking about it, it would be awkward if they are in contact. So it is better to just forget about the whole incident. Out of sight, out of mind. Cheng Shao Rong must also had the same thought.
In fact, when Cheng Shao Rong was away in the university, they have kept in touch.
He often handwritten letter and sent to her. Really old-fashioned.
The content of the letter are typically boring and serious. Just like writing a work report.
Such as:
“We run ten thousand meters every day with sandbags.”
“Last week, we train up the mountain. And we found a big python.”
“Someone cannot stand the hostel anymore. So he dropped out. Such a pity.”
Although these letters contain only few words, but being bored in her sophomore, his letter has become her most interesting reading materials. Showing her another part of the sky.
Of course, she rarely reply. Occasionally she will write one back. Lesser than his words.
“Ai, pity.”
“Good luck! Good!”
Later, on her third year, the schoolwork gets really busier. In college years, she sheep graze and overspend in blind love. So finally really neglecting their contact. Only when she returns to her grandmother’s place and he went back to his grandmother’s place, they would meet up and catch up.
Time ah…. From the time… the power of the most powerful thing in the world.
She kept his letters. When she discard waste materials and even love letters that she received from the beginning of junior high school, she only kept his letters.
This is mainly due to Cheng Shao Rong writing is very nice. The words are neat and elegant with demeanor generis. Back then, she thought, if one day she decided to practice calligraphy, it would be easier to practice according to his words. If according to those books, using his to practice makes more sense because those words in those books are very common, and do not highlight her unique taste.
As a result, Zhong Lian Chen forgotten about the whole thing. It was placed at the back of her mind until she received his phone call.
Cheng Shao Rong explained that he had not finished his vacation when he received an emergency call to go back to the troops to participate in a closed training. They were only allowed today to contact with the outside world.
Okay. Zhong Lian Chen admitted that she overestimated him. He is still a child that anilities prudish specimen type. No change at all.
They chat for a while. On the other side of the phone, Zhong Lian Chen hearing the sound of the breathing, knew that he was going to get to the subject.
Cheng Shao Rong halt and with little hesitation, finally said it: “Little Chen you…. Your body, all okay?”
“Uh, what does that mean?” Her momentary reaction.
“I mean….. you have not…..”
After a while, Zhong Lian Chen finally understand.
“Cheng Shao Rong, you mean, you did not take any protective measures?” Her forehead started to sweat.
“How would I know that that day I will…… I though afterwards you ……..” In order not to make things worse: “Not to mention the matter.” She percepts.
“I do not have experience! Why did you not remind me?”
“I am also not aware of the problem until a few days before…….”
Zhong Lian Chen back start to sweat. She grabbed the hair and try to recall her menstrual cycle’s dates.
She is done! She cannot remember. She has always not remember her own menstrual cycle.
She did not speak for a long time. In the phone, the little voice had a melting point of anxiety: “Little Chen, if you really have something, I will face it together with you. You do not keep it to yourself. And you make your own decision. If you want to keep it, then we immediately get married. If you do not want it, then you must let me accompany you to the hospital for surgery.”
Zhong Lian Chen cried out: “You better pray that I am okay, Cheng Shao Rong. Otherwise, you are dead!”
Yet another amusing incident.
Epilogue 3.7: Special Accidental Episode
Zhong Lian Chen realized for the first time the feeling of tossing and turning. Even the eve of the college entrance examination, she never felt such nervousness before.
She was holding on to get into domestic universities, therefore did not had to worry about going abroad.
She took a deep breath and started counting sheep. And then finally, she self-learn Scarlett anesthesia: “Cross the bridge when we get there!” When she finally recite for the 100th time, she finally felt asleep. In her dream, she see the doll that she trashed during her childhood climbing out of the rubbish bin. With his dirty face, he called out “Mummy, hug!” So she was awakened. The sky is already bright.
Then again, she found that the supposedly extremely worried issue that cause her ecstatic, in her muddled state of mind and anxiety, finally came. Her poor new bed linen.
Oh yeah! She is saved.
Zhong Lian Chen is so happy and started reflected her words and deed. She recalled the little attitude of Cheng Shao Rong yesterday that was really bad.
Conscience, she is the real victim here. If it is not because of meeting him, and he dead haunt her, nothing would had happen.
Zhong Lian Chen is something with not much principle and not an ideal girl. But Cheng Shao Rong is different. The incident between them would be considered a stain in his life.
Zhong Lian Chen remember that he seems to be having a difficult flight training today. She began to worry that if he is preoccupied, how dangerous it would be.
So she tried calling him to tell him and make him feel at ease. One, two…. Average one hour of calling him with no success.
This time she was really scared. If anything happen to Cheng Shao Rong, then she would be the murderer ah.
Fortunately, Cheng Shao Rong mentioned in the phone yesterday, MUST contact him no matter what happen. He said that since his phone is not easy to call through, he had left her with the phone number for the camp.
So she hastily dialed the number given.
Who answered the phone is unknown. He do not anxiously asked her questions. Then over the phone, she heard him speaking to through the radio: “Comrades. There is a woman looking for Cheng Shao Rong.”
She was embarrassed but at least she knows that Cheng Shao Rong is fine. Just that at the end of the training, he was called to the heads office.
“You are Jiang Wei?”
“No…..”
“Don’t be shy, sister-in-law. It is not who you are. Shao Rong hide you so tightly, it is only now that we could hear your voice.” She do not know this guy and the nonsense that he is talking about. Nor that she care if he recognize her. He talked for so long, not a chance for her to rebuttal.
The man finally gave her an opportunity to utterance and she said: “Nothing important. Please help me to leave a message to him. Tell him that everything is assured.”
She was about to hang up the line when another person pick up the microphone and said: “Ms Jiang, wait. We want to talk to you about instructor.”
The head hum is getting stronger.
She did not expect that it was a female instructor. Listening to the sound over the phone, sounded like a big sister figure who serious yes loving earnestness said to her: “Little Jiang ah, Shao Rong is a nice guy. You can encounter such guy, it is considered that you are lucky. You better cherish ah.”
“I………”
“Shao Rong these days have been depressed. When I asked him, only then he told me that you have broken up with him. Since you called, that means that there is an opportunity to turn this around.”
“In fact……..”
“We are all women. So I can understand your feelings. Separated in a distance far away, the opportunity to meet is lesser. And Shao Rong has a temper, and does not know how to coax anyone. He will not say sweet words. But look at the good nature of the man, good character is most important. Shao Rong coming from such family background, but he is not arrogance. As a man, he work conscientiously. He never philander and treat each women with polite and respect. A really good kid.”
“He……..”
“Now is the critical period for Shao Rong. He has an excellent opportunity waiting for him. If he drop off the chain this time, it would be a pity. You must be a good support for him.”
叽哩呱啦, 叽哩呱啦……..
叽哩呱啦 means jabbering away
She has been educated by this sister into the world of dizziness. She is afraid to say that she is not Jiang. If the instructor knew that she is the accidental flower that mess up with Shao Rong, she do not know if the instructor will climb over the communication signal line to strangle her.
Ai, why is life so frustrating.
Zhong Lian Chen after the morning of ideological and political education, she began to seriously carry out self-criticism.
She felt that she was being ridiculously too headstrong and too overbearing. If she did not have any temperament, then she would not commit such error.
Although she cannot remember the details, but the Great Wall cannot be built in a day. And Yellow River cannot turn yellow in one day. Certainly because her body have been hidden with depraved factor, so with the right temperature and humidity, then suddenly the ground-breaking germination.
Fortunately, the one she met was Cheng Shao Rong. If she met any bad guy, such as a liar, such as a triad, her tears probably could filled a lake.
To others, there is no problem. She confessed. But this time she had hurt others, harm others’ life.
Epilogue 3.8: Special Accidental Episode
Cheng Shao Rong is someone whom is very loving and loyal to love.
His first girlfriend was a girl with congenital heart disease from childhood. He met her in the hospital. For her, he abandon everything, giving her attentive care.
Back then everyone is young, so no one takes them seriously. Later, before the girl graduated from junior high school, she dies from the disease. Then he was seriously ill for a while. Later, he kept her picture with him all the time. And for many years, there have never been any girls beside him.
Uh, perhaps with the exception of her. Before they started dating, they had already the kind of relationship that eliminate the gender differences in purity and comradely friendship. That also includes the bickering defeating friendships words.
Jiang in fact is her high school classmates.
When they were in high school, she injured her legs. Jiang Wei home is closed to her home. Every day after school, she goes to her home to give her lessons.
Once in the evening, Cheng Shao Rong met them at the door. He said: “So late, it is unsafe for girls to go alone. I send you.”
At that time, Cheng Shao Rong is in third year, and is preparing for the college entrance examination. But he set aside time every night to send Jiang home.
That is how both of them met. Leisurely knowing each other, it is also almost ten years.
Zhong Lian Chen felt that Cheng Shao Rong is not a quitter. He liked Jiang Wei for so many years, he would not casually agree to break up. Sooner or later, he will try to get her back.
But now, she is really puzzled.
Cheng Shao Rong has high morale. He would not just meddle with her. Even now want to marry her without any love-base.
So, now he had already physically betrayed Jiang Wei. He would feel that he is not qualified to go back to Jiang Wei’s side.
Alas, she had spoilt the opportunity for this pair of lovers to reunite.
She was really ashamed.
Zhong Lian Chen felt tangled in the profound review of the feeling. It feels like back then when she was younger and was naughty. She took her grandfather’s precious goldfish out to play resulting in the death of the fish. Because the fish is dead, so she was ashamed. And this time…….
She was tangled and tangled before gradually falling asleep. Just as she was about to hit into the sleeping state, her Donald Duck ringtone sounds awakened her. It is Cheng Shao Rong.
“You were looking for me?” Cheng Shao Rong’s voice sounded a little tired.
“Uh. They thought I was Jiang Wei. I cannot refute. Fearing that it would not be good for you.”
“I understand. Okay. Thank you.”
“How do you know it was me?”
“She does not know this number of mine.”
Well, that of course. Cheng Shao Rong spent very little time at the base training when he and Jiang Wei broke up. She really thought too much.
“That issue. It is alright now. You can rest be assured.”
“I heard.”
“So……” Zhong Lian Chen racked her brain to find the most appropriate vocabulary: “We can now forget about that incident. Take it as it had never happen.”
There is no movement from the other side of the phone.
Epilogue 3.9: Special Accidental Episode
Zhong Lian Chen is an impatient person. The more the other party kept silence, the more anxious she become. She then said: “Cheng Shao Rong, we have grown up. No longer a child. We can be responsible for our own actions.”
Still there is no sound but she heard the other party gasp. Hey, seems like she did not express herself clear. She added: “I mean, I am now an adult. So I can take responsible for my own action. You do not need to be responsible.”
Cheng Shao Rong gently cough but did not make any sound. But the cough is very muddy. It seems that he is uncomfortable.
This really puzzled her. If he is standing in front of her, she would definitely go and smack him.
Unfortunately, he is thousands of miles away from her. It seems very fragile and low, so she had to have patience. She put in effort to bring out her motherly emotions: “Cheng Shao Rong, you know, uh. Moral and material contrast. Only substances basic only. The spirit is the most powerful. That is the general reason why we humans are different from animals. Because our spiritual strength are beyond theirs….” Her philosophy class scores are not high. So she is making herself dizzy first.
Here, Cheng Shao Rong finally spoke up: “What exactly are you trying to express here?”
“I mean. As long as our mind is pure, even….. even in physically……. No, I mean material things. Not so pure, it is excusable. If you fall into the mud, a dip into dirty water, coming out of the bath, you are still you. Nothing has changed.”
Hey, Cheng Shao Rong this guy may not talk much but his understanding has always been superior. He certainly understood what she meant to tell him. Although he derailed physically, but as long as the spirit of derailment…. He is still am highly qualified to return back to Jiang Wei’s side.
As a result, Cheng Shao Rong is even more puzzled with still no movement. Damn. She really want to flatten people.
Zhong Lian Chen thought for a few seconds and quickly come up with new arguments. She felt that if she had to deal with this daily, she can become education experts.
“Cheng Shao Rong, there have been evolution of times. A long time ago, men seeing women’s face is a crime. Have to marry her. Later, touching the hand is considered taking away the virginity. Our country in the ancient time, couples do not even kiss easily. But in the western social culture, kissing is the most basis touch.” She said haltingly for a while before saying: “Kissing is like shaking hand. Shaking hands is like seeing the face. So that men and women, in fact, in the final analysis, kissing and shaking hands is about the same thing. So what happen between us, is similar just different parts only. We really have taken this too seriously. It is so funny…. Ha ha ha ha ha ha…”
Silence ah silence. The atmosphere is so awkward.
Zhong Lian Chen is so depressed to the extend she wanted to cut the phone line and then pretending that she had drop the phone. As she wanted to do that, Cheng Shao Rong finally said something. The most words he had said today:
“Zhong Lian Chen, are you really a woman?”
Damn. She dug her heart out to try to comfort and enlighten him. And he even laughed and taunt at her. X your mother!
Zhong Lian Chen bitterly cursed in her heart, the curse that she never even dared to say out loud.
Then she thought. Mother Chen is a good mother and aunt. Why she scolded the innocent party? Corrections!
So Zhong Lian Chen curse again in her heart:
Damn. X you this Cheng Shao Rong bastard!
Epilogue 3.10: Special Accidental Episode
Third, Zhong Lian Chen’s house has an unwritten rule. When it is Father’s birthday, as busy as one can get, all family must gather to attend the birthday. Unless it is in prison, on the moon or on the battlefield, as far as one is, need to head back to celebrate Father’s birthday.
Zhong Lian Chen is a well behaved person. She came back three days in advance. Birthday celebration is over for a week already but she is still around. Her grandfather is very happy to see that she grew up sensible.
In fact, it is because she had not thought of a good place to go next.
Zhong Lian Chen had graduated for a few years already. She had done a few jobs too, none of which have been long.
On both side of her family, in this generation, she is the only girl. So she is well pampered by all party. Never intended to give any big push to her. So she is happily playing to her heart content.
She is not ignorant. Her grades are good and she also work hard. Just that………
Her first job was as a secretary. Once accompany the clients to the KTV to sing. They had a few drinks. In the corridor, the customers hugged her shoulder and pinch her face. Who would have thought that someone went to tell her cousin brother about it. So the guests and her boss had the misfortune while she was forced to resign.
Her second job is to run for approval. Once the information was not ready resulting in her being scolded. Really unfortunate, a cousin was also at the scene. Later, those who criticize her had to apologize to her in person. Then onwards, every day when she went through the door, countless strange look making her feel like she had been stripped. She resigned.
Her third job is to do sales. In the beginning, there were no result. Three of her cousin heard. They made a few phone calls to help her. So her business volume leaps and bounds and is ten times more than the second in place sales person. Although she was very motivated, although she also hopes to earn more money, but…… she quit.
Her fourth job….. her fifth job…. Forget it. Really unbearable memories.
So from then onwards, she became SOHO owners. Playing everywhere. Thanks to her cousins both maternal and paternal sides. All over the country she was well covered and protected. Should there are any difficulties, just look for these brothers.
Tired, she would write a travel guide and on shopping. And then take a few photos and email to her magazine editor friends. Sometimes, her work would be published. While those royalties are not enough for her extravagance, but always had to prove that she is self-reliant viability (as for those travel, lodging and meals expenses, these are negligible… hahahaha). Even had a brother chasing her asking her to publish a book, claiming that she will be a beautiful writer.
She fled.
That day, she slept in at home and only got up late in the afternoon.
She had stayed up all night the night before playing games. And now it is raining outside, overcasting the day.
Rainy days, it is a waste if do not sleep in.
When she woke up, she was feeling hungry. She got to the kitchen downstairs looking for something to eat. She heard the door open and while eating, heard the voices. Grandmother, mother and aunty are back from their shopping.
Going out to say hello, she heard her mother mentioned her name: “I think this trip home, Xiao Chen is so much quieter and well behaved. It seems that scouring girls will eventually grow up.”
Grandma said: “I don’t think she is well behaved. She must have been tired playing outside. So now taking a good rest.”
Her grandmother knows her the best! She had just wanted to greet them again when aunty said: “Xiao Chen is just like a tomboy running around. There are many boys around her constantly but there seems no one that is worthy to talk about marriage. She herself is not taking it urgently.”
Sigh. It is best that she don’t go out and spoiling the mood. Better to just sit quietly here.
Grandma said: “There is no hurry. Xiao Chen is still young. Let her be for another two years. We have protected and pampered her so well, who is willing to let her out and serve other man.”
Mother said: “We should first find a boy while talking with her. While we watched, it will drag on for a year or so. Then it would just be the right time to get married.”
Grandma said: “That is quite true. So that we do not lose the opportunity for the most suitable person to be taken up. Although there are many man out there, but there are not many that suit our Xiao Chen. Too prestige, afraid that Xiao Chen will have to face difficulty. If the threshold is lower than our home, afraid that she will have to swallow a lot of tough time. If the man at home is not as good as the woman, people will think that we have to force them to meet the eye and in the final analysis feels that we are mistreating them. The best is a good match with a good relations. Even if Xiao Chen makes any mistakes, they would not make things difficult for the sake of the old friends’ relationship.”
Mother said: “Based on what you said, then there is really no one already. Those better boys all already have their respective partners.”
Aunt said: “No. There is. The Cheng family, third son. The one that is a financial officer. From childhood, he had been a good boy. Xiao Chen grew up together with him. Their age are almost similar.”
Mother said: “You must be kidding. Xiao Rong have been with his girlfriend for so many years. According to his temperament, marriage between them is inevitable.”
Aunt said: “They have broken up. The news is absolutely accurate. I heard his aunt said. Xiao Rong admitted it himself. He would not make such joke. If he said so, then they must have really broken up.”
Grandmother said: “Then let them get together. Get the aunty to pull string. From young, I have had always liked Xiao Rong but looking at them for so many years, I do not see him with Xiao Chen. Who knows, how there are possibility of sparks between them. As I have shared before, your father and very much early on had share of heart but we went our separate ways. As the saying goes, distance makes the heart fonder. Maybe this time, they will see eye to eye.”
.
Aunt said: “I have done the initial work. Please do not worry. I had asked Sister Cheng to help to find out what Xiao Rong thinks. You guess what Xiao Rong says? He agreed giving Sister Cheng a shocked. And you know as the result what? Xiao Rong directly said that he is willing to marry Xiao Chen as his wife.
Grandma said: “I know that my view of this child is not wrong. Particularly from childhood, his taste and vision has always been steady. Very different from other children.”
Seeing how much grandmother is praising him, squatting the corner Zhong Lian Chen is covered with sweat.
Epilogue 3.11: Special Accidental Episode
Grandma said: Xin Er, you go through the almanac and take a look at the second half of the year and next year. See if there are any good dates.”
Mother finally spoke up: “We got to listen to the view of Xiao Chen right? If she create any havoc, it would be very embarrassing…..”
Grandma said: “I have watched your daughter growing up. I know here better than you. That little thing, from a very young age, have no backbone. Playing with her, you have to talk about policy along with caressing her hair. She is very clever. You provoke her a little, she will become anti-bone. One could see her from young, constantly arguing with Xiao Rong but not once really had a big argument with him. They get along pretty good. One is because Xiao Rong constantly without her knowledge, let her have her way. And she certainly did not hate Xiao Rong. This is the basic of feelings. So we just have to say the benefits of Xiao Rong in front of her constantly, as well as the benefits of this marriage just to brainwash her. Within a few days, she will agree for sure.”
So, her image in front of her grandmother is so bad. She cried.
Her grandmother is not part of any direct sales organization and ‘brainwashing.’ She cried.
Aunty said: “That is right. For Xiao Rong to marry our Xiao Chen the most crucial part if to get Xiao Chen to agree. As for Xiao Rong, we will always have a way to go and convince him. Xiao Rong can be naughty from time to time but he is cardinal and obedient. As long as he does not hate Xiao Chen, all can be arranged.”
Mother said: “Xiao Rong does not have any irritating qualification. For him to have a heart with Xiao Chen, it is much unexpected.”
These three women, completely treated her like an unsaleable goods ah….. really….. alas. Cannot blame the elders…. Unable to curse them in the heart too…. She simply could not bear it, need to vent her frustration on someone. Cheng Shao Rong then….
Cheng Shao Rong, you this prudish pretending to be a cabbage caterpillar big rascal!
After cursing a few times, she felt that her frustration is reduced. She pricked her ears to listen, the old women are gone.
She crawled out from behind the huge kitchen cabinets, moved her numb feets. She scouted around, really no one around. So she rushed back upstairs to call Cheng Shao Rong.
Anyway, she did not expect to be able to convince her mother, grandmother and aunty. They are determined to dump her to him. It is better to find a way out through Cheng Shao Rong.
This time, he actually picked up after a ring. She asked: “Where are you?”
Cheng Shao Rong mentioned a place name.
“Can you come out to meet up?”
He said that if they make agreement ahead of time, coming out for one hour is not a problem. I have a little favor to ask from you. (Of course, it is a small one, as it is only one sentence).
–Not urgent. We talk about it when we meet. (This dead puzzle, in case he does not talk on the phone, she would want to pinch his neck and kick him.)
–Not trouble at all. Anyway, I was planning to go over there to play. (Yeah, she finally came up with her next destination)
So Zhong Lian Chen secretly called the airline on the phone to book her flight. She surreptitiously began to pack her bag.
The place is known for unscrupulous trafficking decent and young beautiful women. So she does not plan to stay for long.
Zhong Lian Chen had planned very carefully.
Epilogue 3.12: Special Accidental Episode
Zhong Lian Chen had planned very carefully.
After getting off the plane, she went to the hotel to take a shower and something to eat. And then she drove to the cantonment sites where Cheng Shao Rong is at. Based on her experience, the surrounding of the base is where the beautiful scenery are. Finally, recharged and full of energy, she is comfortable enough to sit down and discuss serious matter with Cheng Shao Rong that are related to both of their future happiness.
Her goal is to make Cheng Shao Rong understand that marrying her is a very unwise decision. Not only sorry for him, but for their parents have whom supported them. Most importantly, sorry to the party and people, sorry for the harmonious society. She must do the work and persuade him to put down the burden and scraping the whole idea.
As a result, her plane was delayed for half an hour. When she got off the plane and took the car over, she was still twenty minutes late.
They originally agreed to meet up in the café near his camp. Then when Cheng Shao Rong heard that she had not eaten, change the place to a rotisserie. When she was depressed looking for the place, when she arrived, Cheng Shao Rong was sitting and waiting for her. When he saw her, she immediately got up, dressed in the military uniform, he stood straight and gave her a salute.
Zhong Lian Chen cursed him under her breath.
This is really awesome.
She had always been in a good control. Sure enough, as people said, anyone looks hot dressed in the uniform. When Cheng Shao Rong is not dressed in uniform he is generally handsome. But now putting him in the uniform…. That was awesome! This is her first time seeing him in his uniform.
Zhong Lian Chen is so taken aback that she forgot the purpose of her trip.
Fortunately, Cheng Shao Rong did not forget. He said: “This is the only shop around here that is more formal. I cannot go far. I have only forty minutes. You eat first…..” slightly apologetically.
Wow! He thought that she is the kind that must eat in star restaurant? When she eat out alone, she will also eat roadside stalls, ok? She has no such superficial thing. Oh yes, fill up her stomach first before anything else.
The waiter served the food. At noon, many people are there for a meal, so the service is too slow. She is hungry and took big mouthful of meat. After eating everything on her tray, the next course is still not sent.
She felt slightly embarrassed when she saw Cheng Shao Rong’s place still filled with meat. As a lady, she should not be like a vice-like gluttonous. Such a shame. Fortunately, she is not here to meet anyone else. She had after all done more embarrassing things in front of Cheng Shao Rong in the past.
Zhong Lian Chen looked around to hide her hungry look. Cheng Shao Rong quietly pushed his plate in front of her: “I have not touched these. You eat.” And then he got up to help her take other dishes.
Hey, she had forgotten. This restaurant not only served barbecue meat, but many other buffet dishes as well.
This South American style rotisserie is stationed very close to the barrack. So there are many uniforms brothers and beautiful sisters. It seems that the soldier brothers also have very good leisure life. Her mind quickly turned to the large tracts of American soldiers’ barracks in Aventura stories.
He is back from taking the food. Really touched. She actually remembers what she likes. He took all her favorite food. And he even carefully help her singled out the coriander and ginger. These are the stuff that she don’t eat from childhood.
Zhong Lian Chen gets emotional easily. She got unthinking emotional and said: “Cheng Shao Rong, in the future, whoever marry you is very fortunate.”
“Huh?”
Hey, hell. How could she forgot about the main purpose she is here? Time to get down to business.
Zhong Lian Chen wipe her mouth with the napkin. She then recover into a lady-like posture.
“Cheng Shao Rong, in this world, the most stupid thing is to fix a mistake with another mistake. This is called fixing the wrong with another wrong. Certainly not a negative to make a positive.”
Cheng Shao Rong looked at her quietly, did not speak.
“强扭的瓜不甜, together, we will not be happy.”
强扭的瓜不甜 (pin ying: qiǎng niǔ de guā bù tián) – means Nothing forcibly done is going to be agreeable
Cheng Shao Rong still kept quiet.
Zhong Lian Chen: …………
Cheng Shao Rong: ……………
Zhong Lian Chen: (babbling away)……
Cheng Shao Rong: ………..
Zhong Lian Chen: wu wu wa wa……..
Cheng Shao Rong: ……………
Zhong Lian Chen exhausted her patience: “Are you listening to me?”
Cheng Shao Rong: “I heard every single words.”
Zhong Lian Chen: “I am telling you. I do not want to marry you!”
Cheng Shao Rong: “Xiao Chen, do you have someone in your heart?”
Kao… insulting her. Since she was fifteen years old, she had set a grand ambition. She wants to be independent-minded modern woman, facing this life. In this life facing the handsome men, it is never right.
Epilogue 3.13: Special Accidental Episode
Cheng Shao Rong said: “You do not have any crush in your heart and I do not have a girlfriend. Why do not we try together?”
“There is no love between us, what is there to get married for?”
“In a marriage, affection is needed the most, not love.”
“Because of this round of heartbreak, you wanted to give up. As I said, with a small touch of finger, there will be a whole list of beauty coming to you. Life is very bright and the future would be better. There is no reason for you to be depressed.”
“Xiao Chen, to understand a person, it takes a very long time. And we are no longer young. We know each other almost from birth. We understand each other more than others. There are excellent family foundation between us. Don’t you think so?”
Now she understand. In short, because he is tired, he is too lazy to find another woman to start from scratch again. So she is the best option and he is willing to accept that.
See his big headed person!
……….
……….
………..
“Cheng Shao Rong, I will not marry you.” Zhong Lian Chen emphasized it for the xxx times. It is just so tiring speaking to these type of people.
“…………”
………….
…………..
“Not getting married! I am not getting married!” She stressed for the last time!
Cheng Shao Rong used his watery eyes and stared at her seriously. (Why? What are you looking at?)
The time I have at home is very little. Your life will not change. (This is true)
After you marry me, your family would not keep such a tight hold on you. I can be your shield. You will be free than before. (This makes sense)
You know my family very well. Especially my mum who likes you a lot. So you do not have to worry about in-law relationship. (Yes, ah. This is an important issue. Mother Cheng is an excellent lady.)
You have always like to pester my 2nd brother…. If you marry me, in his sense you are a family member. You can do whatever you want with him. (Shameless temptation. Went as far as selling his loved one. But why is she slowly being influenced by him?)
When I retire in a few years’ time, I can accompany you every day and fly up high. (Cheng Shao Rong, you are too treacherous bird, starting in the rarity of other peoples’ weaknesses.)………….
Time is up for Cheng Shao Rong. He watched her get into a taxi and wave her goodbye.
Zhong Lian Chen before leaving suddenly remembered a very important thing. It is so important that she cannot remember it!
Haiz, unspeakable.
She waited for the taxi to drive about ten meters away. Seeing him turning to walk away through the rearview mirror, she pulled out her cell phone and call him: “Hey, so what is the conclusion of our conversation today in the end?”
Cheng Shao Rong was a little surprised and said: “You said as per what my plans are. Now you have another idea?”
“No.” Zhong Lian Chen gave a hollow laugh or two. “No.”
After an hour later, Zhong Lian Chen becomes depressed while clutching her hair.
She have been conned by the devil. She came here to persuade him to give up the thought of marriage. Why the result turns out differently and she was convinced by him?
And she was convinced without her realizing it. She tried to once again remember the key details but failed.
This guy indeed had magic!

Epilogue 3.14: Special Accidental Episode
In her chaos state of mind, he took advantage and disrupting her mind!
It must be so!
Zhong Lian Chen grandmother always said, it is a year of fate but lots of evildoers. So gave her a lot of red possessions. Red shoes, red belt. Red skirt with red coat. And a very valuable red coral necklace with a ruby bracelet.
As a modernized individual, Zhong Lian Chen does not believe in this belief. Only when she is meeting grandma, she wore the red thread on her wrist.
As the saying goes, do not listen to the old words, one will end up suffering.
So, in the year, she hit bad luck one after another. First, somehow she lost her virginity. And then even losing her freedom.
Zhong Lian Chen is one that would never cry over spilled milk. The main reason is because she hates milk. So when the milk is spilled, she is very happy. People say she grew up as a happy child. She will see the positive of every side.
So she was depressed for a few minutes and then start to analyst the benefits of this marriage.
Cheng Shao Rong said some very reasonable points. She married him would be an advantage for her.
Besides……..
Additional benefits of marrying Cheng Shao Rong – 1:
From her younger days, she have seen many outrageous marriage. Including her brothers. There are friendship, no passion, marriage first then dating… like a pile of joint project.
In the beginning, her small mind cannot accept these, so she once dreamed that she is a pig and her family led her to the market for auction.
Taking into consideration that she had known Cheng Shao Rong almost her whole life, although there are not love, there are always friendship. Unlike her sisters-in-law.
Additional benefits of marrying Cheng Shao Rong – 2:
Although she also drool when seeing a good looking guy, she did not naively hope that her future husband is a handsome one. The ideal and reality is two different thing that she is able to distinguish.
While the process of finding a genuine good looking guy is minimal, she is really lucky. Although good looking cannot be eaten, but definitely better than watching an ugly looking guy eating dinner, right? Appetite would not be so good…
Additional benefits of marrying Cheng Shao Rong – 3:
This marriage makes the whole family very happy. From grandparents, to aunties and uncles to mum and dad…. Although they probably are not because she is going to get married, but because Xiao San (3rd Son) of the Cheng family will be a member of their family. She realized it too. She had never brought into this house any honors, nor make any contribution to the family business after growing up. This time, borrowing the lights of Cheng Shao Rong, she is able to bring some sense of proudness into the family.
Zhong Lian Chen is a very responsible person.
Now that she had figured out the benefits of marrying Cheng Shao Rong, she no longer feels tangled. But now happily waiting to be the bride.
Epilogue 3.15: Special Accidental Episode
She was indeed very responsible. So when she is drooling at good looking guys on television or magazines, her heart felt sorry.
But then thinking about it again, she is just using her eyes to appreciate the handsome looks of the guys. However, she will often able to identify deficiencies in the guys. And then she found Cheng Shao Rong more handsome than those guys.
So with very clear conscience, she continue to flirt with the various type of guys.
Not long after, her grandfather were hospitalized for a minor operation and then went home to rest.
At home, everyone else were very busy with their career. She is the only one that is free, so naturally she stayed at home to look after her grandfather.
At the home of her maternal grandparents, her movement were restrained.
Grandma, as she gets older, she is more difficult. She drag her every day and gave her the latest fashion magazine.
How’s do you want your wedding dress to be? ‘Wai Ya Wang’ is not too bad? Chinese people must support the Chinese people.
This set of jewelry looks good on Xiao Chen. Better than the model wearing this.
Xiao Chen, come and look at this shop. There are more suitable recommendation for honeymoon ah.
Grandfather has another style:
Xiao Chen, come and write a few words for me.
As the saying goes, to see people to see the words, your word cannot tell you the person’s appearance or Mom inherent right.
Take these words and write them every day ten to twenty times. And within a month, your words will go a long way.
Zhong Lian Chen respectfully took the word and paste great big words: “女训”
女训 (pin ying: Nǚ xùn) – Female Training
Feeling the pressure, she went over to Cheng Shao Rong’s grandmother’s house. The two elderly had moved, so no longer their neighbor. However, they are still very close, within the community.
Grandmother Cheng loves her dearly since young. Seeing her now brings a grin and she went to cook for her. She do not have servants to help. She said as she is cooking: “I remember you and Cheng Shao Rong love these dishes that I cook the most.”
Zhong Lian Chen immediately understand the meaning of the elderly. Conscientiously followed the elderly to learn how to cook those dishes. A few days later, she was finally able to make the dishes well in the taste but not the presentation. But still got Grandma’s praise: “As long as the taste is good, the presentation is not important”
Grandmother Cheng like to recollect events. Often Zhong Lian Chen will hear from her the recollection of Cheng Shao Rong’s childhood memories.
Example 1:
Xiao Rong when he is four or five years old, someone gave him a box of chocolates and asking him to share with his brother and sister. There is a total of only 15 pieces of chocolate. He gave Xiao Qing 4 pieces, Xiao Chen 4 pieces, Mandy 4 pieces and only had 3 balance for himself……
Example 2:
When he was six or seven years old, while playing, a naughty child fell into the small pool. Cheng Shao Rong immediately found the valve and release the water……
Zhong Lian Chen remember Grandmother Cheng was in the education work. Yes, pre-school education.
Zhong Lian Chen stayed at home but often accompanied the two elderly people to go to the park to participate in activities. Seeing Grandfather playing the chess, accompany grandmothers dancing, playing gyro with the children and with the puppies scaring the sparrows.
She lived a very healthy and boring life day after day. As she started to feel bored, Cheng Shao Rong is on leave and is coming home. She was so excited, she drove the car to go and pick him up. When she saw him, she gave him a huge hug very enthusiastically, knocking him back a few steps: “Cheng Shao Rong, I missed you!”
Cheng Shao Rong’s last leave was recalled. So this time can continue to take his leave.
Epilogue 3.16: Special Accidental Episode
Thinking about it. He is really in bad luck. Finally able to take leave and come home. Not half way through, lost the nearly a decade relationship and then had to accept the 20 over years friendship, her. However, this also cannot blame the society. Just blame the not so good fate.
Zhong Lian Chen was thinking about this as she was cooking in Cheng Shao Rong’s house.
As a result, she missed the process thought by Grandmother Cheng. The dish she was cooking, got burned.
She did not give up and continue to prepare the second dish. This time she dropped the whole pot.
Cheng Shao Rong comforted her: “It does not matter. Later we will hire a maid. And I can cook.”
They went out to eat. After the meal, they thought they should communicate more to move their feelings up. So they went to the nostalgic childhood play area.
But the city changed so much, they almost got lost. They finally arrived at their common primary school.
Cheng Shao Rong looked up at the huge gingko tree. Zhong Lian Chen bent over to pick up a piece of small fan-shaped leaves from the ground. The original tree was in the middle of the playground, now moved to the edge of the playground. Zhong Lian Chen bent over for too long, and feeling faint. When she was helped by Cheng Shao Rong up, they saw the former teacher, now the headmaster.
The new headmaster actually recognized the two of them and cheerfully said: “Come together to view the alma mater. As a child both of you often come to play hand in hand. After so many years, still coming together. This is indeed a rare classmate friendship.”
They looked at each other.
Headmaster puzzled and said: “Hei, you both did not come together. So happen to encounter each other?”
Later at the school gate, up the very steep road, they saw an old man pushing a tricycle struggling uphill. Together they went to pushed and help. After that, the old man gratefully thanked them. He said: “You two looked alike ah. Laugh also alike. Brother and sisters?”
They looked at each other again.
The puzzled old man asked: “Not brother and sister? Then sister and brother?”
Fourth, Cheng Shao Rong only had three days holiday. Two days were planned to accompany his grandmother and hers.
The first day as a couple does not seem to go well. But it does not matter. Zhong Lian Chen’s grandmother once said, perseverance is one of Zhong Lian Chen’s few advantages.
The next day is the weekend. She pulled Cheng Shao Rong early in the morning to go for a drive. Then she pulled him to the amusement park and got him to line up to play pirate ship, carousel, Space Shuttle, Bumper Car and many more childish games.
In the beginning, Cheng Shao Rong is very co-operative and obedient. Zhong Lian Chen rewarded him with a lollipop, a little rabbit holding a carrot. Her mouth also contain one.
But men does not have magical power. There are always limit to one’s patience. Not long after, he refused to accommodate.
Cheng Shao Rong refused to eat the rabbit lollipop: “It feels like swallowing a life rabbit in the mouth. Very cruel.”
Zhong Lian Chen: “You think you are a monk? Do you want me to give you a ginseng sweet?”
Cheng Shao Rong refuse to play kart: “A bunch of broken iron. What is more interesting about it?”
Zhong Lian Chen: “When you drive a sport car on the road, you are confident that you would not hit anything?”
Cheng Shao Rong refused to play the roller coaster: “Too high, too fast. I am afraid.”
Well…… Zhong Lian Chen did not want to put him into a difficult situation.
Ten seconds later, she realized that she had been fooled. She rushed to Chong Shao Rong side and shook his shoulders.
“Cheng Shao Rong! You as a good pilot, you dare to say that you are afraid of high speed? You you you!!! You think I have a negative IQ ah!”
Cheng Shao Rong eventually did not escape his fate.
Feeling extremely wronged, he said after he got down: “This is not the same as flying an airplane. I fly my own airplane, the result is by myself and others and I am able to grasp the operation, managing it. I do not trust the safety index of recreational facilities……..”
Zhong Lian Chen thought that, he as a soldier, the fear of death is actually showing emotion on the playground. Bringing shame to the people in the army. She dragged him to line up the second time to play roller coaster, in order to train his bravery.
As a result, they are like two child tugging back and forth in a tug of war. Zhong Lian Chen laboriously dragged him two steps forward and then he would take a step back. After a while, she is too tired and was sweating.
Suddenly, Cheng Shao Rong suddenly gently trembled a little. His awkward hands were loose. Zhong Lian Chen had the opportunity to go forward and dragged him several meters. She turned to look at him with a puzzle: “Why?”
“Nothing. We go line up.” Cheng Shao Rong homeopathic pulled her forward.
Zhong Lian Chen subconsciously turn around and looked at the direction where Cheng Shao Rong was looking. Not far away, three young woman was organizing a group of different skin color and hair color children in front of the fairy cave line. The beautiful woman in the milky white shirt wearing a light blue trousers looks a little familiar.
Perhaps not just ‘a little’ only, but very familiar.
Epilogue 3.17: Special Accidental Episode
Her classmates for years, in relationship, have been a very good friend.
Cheng Shao Rong’s ex-girlfriend.
Jiang Wei.
In the evening, when Zhong Lian Chen recall the incident in the day, facing Jiang Wei face to face, there is only one feeling to explain her mood…. ‘guilty’
If one wants to use four words to literate the point, then it is ‘put into the spot’. Of course, the one being caught is her and Cheng Mou Mou.
When she saw Jiang Wei, she was dragged away by Cheng Shao Rong. She pulled away her hand and said to him: “I will go over and say hello.” And then she walked straight to Jiang Wei.
As the two of them were chatting politely, Jiang Wei looked behind Zhong Lian Chen and said softly: “Shao Rong, long time no see.”
Zhong Lian Chen is so stiff, she dare not turn her back to look behind. Not long after, she heard Cheng Shao Rong said: “How have you been lately?”
“Not too good but also not too bad.” Jiang Wei said with a gentle smile.
The other two teachers said: “Teacher Jiang, you chat with your friends first. Wait for us at the exit.”
Jiang Wei reply: “Wait for me. I will be right over.”
Zhong Lian Chen abruptly said: “The weather is hot. I will go and buy cold drinks. The two of you, who wants?” Seeing that there is no responds, she said: “I will go now. I will be back.”
As she was stepping away not far, Cheng Shao Rong said: “Which stall are you going? Don’t get lost.”
Zhong Lian Chen casually glanced at the amusement park map and said: “I am heading to ‘Hummingbird’.”
“Okay. I will come over to find you.”
Zhong Lian Chen search for the snack bar according to the map. As she walked past the door, there was a burst of cold wind blowing. The cold air caused her to shiver.
Yes, the weather forecast said that today is going to be a cold day. Just now how come she was feeling hot? Oh right, being a high-power light bulb to illuminate others, you will first warm yourself.
She ordered the biggest box of ice-cream and ate until her body temperature drop several degrees. And then she ordered a big string of kebab, ate till her mouth are filled with oil. What she is most proud of is her strong stomach. It will never hurt and no matter what she eats, she will never get fat.
Twenty minutes later, Cheng Shao Rong is no-where in sight. She returned to the fairy cave entrance but did not even see his shadow.
Zhong Lian Chen felt that she had slightly overeaten. She thinks that continue playing may end up with her vomiting. So look for a place to sit down, and to call Cheng Shao Rong. When she touched her pockets only she remembered, she did not bring her bag today. Only the phone and some notes stuffed in jeans pocket. Just before, she was feeling uncomfortable while playing roller coaster with the phone in the pocket, hence stuffed the phone into the pocket of Cheng Shao Rong.
Really! She ran to the door to see if Cheng Shao Rong is waiting for her outside. The car is still parked in the same place. Sure enough, he did not leave without her. But she had exited the amusement park, so could not get in except to buy a new ticket.
Poor Zhong Lian Cheng. She did not bring much money today as Cheng Shao Rong was paying for everything. Just now at the snack bar, she squandered too much away. Now the money in her pocket is only enough to take a taxi home.
She wanted to find a public phone to call Cheng Shao Rong but then suddenly remembered that she is a digital idiot. She cannot even remember her own phone number, not to mention Cheng Shao Rong’s number. Every time she just have to take out the phone number from the phonebook and dial from her phone. Now, not only she does not have any coins to make the call, the telephone are all inside the amusement part and none outside.
Point back ah point back! Cannot blame the society.
In fact, there are still other method. Use the amusement park management office to help with a broadcast. But also cannot afford to lose that face ah. Not to mention that Jiang Wei is still inside, she could hear it.
Forget it. Let the old couple catch up more. She can be sensible.
Zhong Lian Chen borrowed from the management office pen and paper. She wrote a few words and slid it under the car windshield. And then she topped a taxi and went home.
After returning home, Zhong Lian Cheng only said that Chong Shao Rong met with an old classmates to reminisce. Then quickly slipped back into her room before grandmother ask more. Her skill is much worse than her grandmother, so she will certainly be able to sense that she is hiding a secret.
Epilogue 3.18: Special Accidental Episode
About the case of ‘losing each other’, a long time after, when Ms Zhong has already become the wife, they noisily argued till there were no new topic of argument, the old incident was brought up.
“You are a bastard. You rarely accompany me out to play, and even lost me!”
“You are a fool. Even the name of the place is wrong, how you expect me to find you?”
“Pictograms only. Using the toes only also can find it. You simply do not want to play with me, deliberately do not find me!”
“Peninsula ‘snack bar’ and ‘bird’ snack bar? You even have the nerve to mention about it. No wonder, I turn around the whole area to look for ‘hummingbird’ also is unable to find it.”
“You have no imagination, you big wood!”
“You are illiterate! Kindergarten children can even read the word that you do not know!”
Every quarrel will lead back to the incident on this day!
Full of spirit of love, Zhong Lian Chen, pulled some books out of the book shelves to read.
A few days ago, grandmother looked at her bookshelf with a frown. She suggested her to read more books on cultivation and to mold her temperament practice. Zhong Lian Chen looked at the pile of books that her grandmother found for her and wanted to vomit blood. She finally went to grandmother Cheng’s house and took a few books from Cheng Shao Rong’s shelves.
As long as it is brought from Cheng Shao Rong, even if it has romantic words on the book, grandmother would not say anything.
As she was reading the book, a bookmark of a simple hard white cardboard fell out. It is a one-sided bookmark with blue ballpoint pen strokes delicate line drawing. It is a very delicate lady figure in the Republican era of a female student. The hair is comb into two braids while wearing a simple biased breasted shirt and pleated skirt with a messenger bag and plain shoes that is lifelike.
The foot of the paper had his signature: ‘Shao Rong’ with the date that was many years ago. Never know that he had this skill. This guy is really amazing.
Zhong Lian Chen secretly burst her belly from laughing. She stood in front of the mirror and comb her hair following the hairstyle. She looked around the drawers for two rubber bands to tie the hair.
Very nice. She had never tried such a simple style.
Then she went to grandmother’s room to look for clothes. Grandmother like Chinese traditional clothing. There are many and grandmother is not fat.
Zhong Lian Chen looked at herself in the mirror admiring her ‘new’ look. She even drag her mother to help her to take a photo. Grandmother Cheng phoned to inform that Cheng Shao Rong is back. He had drank a little too much and is asking if she have time to come and see him.
Zhong Lian Chen just left for his place dressed how she was. Grandmother Cheng smiled looking at the way she is dressed. She even recommended that she dressed like that for the wedding photo. Together with Cheng Shao Rong pretend to be old-fashioned student. She would like to have the framed photo of them like that in the bedroom to see every day.
Cheng Shao Rong was drunk and was fast asleep.
Grandmother Cheng said: “Among the children at home, only Xiao Rong is the most real, so he hardly drink. Last time, Xiao Chen claimed to want to do some experiment, hence got him drunk.”
Zhong Lian Chen asked: “He is a bad drinker?”
Grandmother Cheng said: “Comparing with others, he is okay. But comparing along the Cheng children, Xiao Rong is considered the worst among them. Even Xiao Min can drink better.”
Zhong Lian Cheng imagined them drinking together while Cheng Shao Rong sitting at the site biting the situation. She started laughing.
Grandmother Cheng said: “Xiao Rong is very honest. You see, Xiao Chen has the highest alcohol level of tolerance. The family have not seem him drunk too. He rarely drink to that level. But the last Lunar New Year, maybe because he is in a bad mood, he had a drinking match with Xiao Rong. As a result, Xiao Chen is still okay while Xiao Rong was totally knocked out. He slept for a full day and night.”
Such a poor level of alcohol tolerance and still want to have a drinking match with anyone. He deserve it!
Zhong Lian Chen obediently went to Xiao Rong’s room to take care of him.
It seems that they do have a level of understanding that is too good. While she sleep, he waited for her. Now, he is sleeping while she wait for him.
She sat quietly at the table by the window to read a little yellowed paper, ‘Art of War.’
In fact, she did not read the book as reading it, she is prone to headache. So she is actually only reading at the blank space in the book where Cheng Shao Rong have wrote his remarks. It is very tender as he wrote them when he is still a child.
For example, in the ‘田忌赛马’, next to it, Cheng Shao Rong wrote: ‘The riles of the games, there are loopholes!’. In ‘兵不厌诈’ is written, ‘Do not speak good faith. Shameless!’
田忌赛马 (pin ying: tian ji) – means Scripts and Scribes
兵不厌诈 (pin ying: bīng bú yàn zhà) – means… there can never be too much deception in a war. All is fair in a war. Deceit is not to be despised in a war. In wat, here is no objection to deceit. (all these different way of describing the meaning of this phrase)
She was amused reading it. Enjoying it while laughing. She heard Cheng Shao Rong turning on the bed while murmuring in a low voice.
She stood up and asked: “Are you awake? What did you say?”
It is evening. The sun ray is shining in from the window, in the face of Cheng Shao Rong, reflecting a ray on his body. Zhong Lian Chen is back facing the light. So she could not see his expression while he probably could not see her.
Cheng Shao Rong murmured: “Jiang Wei?”
There were a little buzz at the ears of Zhong Lian Chen. Then she fuzzily heard Cheng Shao Rong saying: “This is such a strange dream.”
Then he fell asleep again.
Zhong Lian Chen secretly grinding her teeth while approaching him. She saw him sleeping like an innocent child. He even had a silly smile on his face as he is dreaming.
Epilogue 3.19: Special Accidental Episode
She is really slow. That bookmark marked the time. It was her summer vacation during high school. And Cheng Shao Rong had received military school admission notice.
That yes, during the summer, their school club have performed some drama. She sent a ticket to Cheng Shao Rong. At the end of the show, he was holding two large bouquet of flowers. Both she and Jiang Wei have copies.
The name of the play is 姐妹花 (Flower Sisters). Both she and Jiang Wei played a pair of separated twin sisters whom because of different circumstances, lead a very different life. She wore a lacy poncho dress with fake curly hair, playing the extravagance eldest sister while Jiang Wei plays the poor female student.
He figure he painted, is not like Jiang Wei but the dress is indeed the costume that Jiang Wei wore that day.
Cut!
Cheng Shao Rong turned over the body and the quilt fell to the ground. She picked it up wanting to cover him. As she was covering him, again he dropped the quilt back onto the ground.
Let him catch a cold and then seriously ill and die. Hum!
Zhong Lian Chen gave some excuse and then went home early. After eight pm, she received a call from Cheng Shao Rong. He sounded refreshed with no sign of drunkenness.
Cheng Shao Rong said: “Are you free? Come out and have some fun.”
“No time. I am busy.”
“Tomorrow I will got to my parents’ place. Go with me.”
“Tomorrow I am busier. I am not going. Not that Uncle Cheng does not know me.”
“What are you doing now? Why do you sound strange?”
“Practice yoga.”
“How come listening to it, sounded like you are practicing boxing?”
“How could you think of me like that… I am a lady…”
In fact, Zhong Lian Chen is practicing dart. In addition to her dance, outside of physical education, this is a sport that she does very well.
She sat cross-legged on the bed and locked the door. There is a dart wheel tied to the male rag doll on the door.
The male doll have a pin wearing a cloth on its forehead. On the cloth there is three words: Cheng Shao Rong.
Zhong Lian Chen very accurately shot the dart to the male doll. Each one hitting its target.
The len turned to Cheng Shao Rong. The time span move to two months later. Back in the single dormitory, the administrator congratulate Cheng Shao Rong while passing to him a courier that was sent by Zhong Lian Chen in the morning.
Cheng Shao Rong from the beginning of the year have been very smooth. He had easily passed a complex process assessment test and also made the first flight test. A few days ago, he and his comrades together in a division have won the technical championship. And then today, he had received the teacher’s reception and recognition hence his rank has risen one level.
Moreover, in less than a month, he would be getting married. Although the subject of marriage is not whom had had plan to marry over the years, but marriage after all is difference from being in love. He is able to marry Zhong Lian Chen as his wife, he felt very contented.
One – Zhong Lian Chen is a woman that he had known his lifetime. He is very clear of all her strength and weaknesses. And he understood that to truly understand a person, it is a long and difficult process. He did not have the strength to re-start again.
Second – Zhong Lian Chen and his family have a deep root. Their grandfathers were once close combatants who had fought against guns. And now they are allies in business. Their union will make the elders very happy.
Three – Zhong Lian Chen has a good personality. She is very independent, like a tomboy. She has her mind all written in the face with a childish temper. Having her in the life, perhaps a little noisier but will never be tired at heart.
He took the courier into his hand. Heavy. Is it that Zhong Lian Chen had sent him the wedding clause that needed his signature? Anyway, she always like to play around.
Opening the envelope. It is really a thick pile of paper. The content is not what he guessed.
That stack of documents are his test scores. Each one has been added annotations. Zhong Lian Chen’s handwriting.
She hates to practice. So it is particularly annoying for her to write by hand. So much earlier on before computer has become an universal item, she had begun using a typewriter to write her diaries and writing a draft.
The test questions are sent to him once a week by e-mail, asking him to complete it.
These are psychological test. Anyway, it does not take up too much time, so he played along with her.
Now, the test results are in front of him.

No 009….
Cheng Shao Rong patiently read each one of it while his heart has a bad feeling. Sure enough, there is a personal letter from Zhong Lian Chen at the end of her. Her rare pen written whole letter.
Cheng Shao Rong,
The test results answers all the problems, so I would not be bother to speak more about it.
If you like to deceive yourself, it is your business.
But I do not want to bring it into my own future.
My life plan is:
To find a love that would love me to death.
Talk about a vigorous love.
I have not thought about what would happen after I get married.
But since the first two have been PASS, it shows that we completely have different ways in life.
It is best that we go our own separate ways.
~~~~~~~
I wish you a life filled with happiness. Goodbye.
P/S1: Yes, we are still good friend, okay? Next time when I see you kindly say hello. Do not be embarrassed.
P/S2: I re-read this again and realized that the words are rude. Not properly considered. But because I am too lazy to re-write it again, so please read the letter while automatically converting it into elegant statement.
P/S3: I have basically settled everything. I did not discussed with you in advance is really embarrassing, mainly because I am afraid that it would affect your examination. Followed by the fear that you would not co-operate. Okay, see all notes on the testimony.
Note: The testimony of collusion with the elders
Cheng Shao Rong have always been proud of his calmness. Taishan collapse in the top without any discoloration.
His first slight coach was a stern man. But at the end of his training, he was delighted by his supervisor. “I have been teaching for so many years, Cheng Shao Rong is the best I have ever seen.”
But now, he holds the pile with seven or eight kinds of fonts with five or six size, drawing a mess of the same note, giving him the feeling of wanting to vomit.
5, Cheng Shao Rong from the beginning of the year have been smooth to this fay where finally there is a little stagnation.
Epilogue 3.21: Special Accidental Episode
He and Zhong Lian Chen started more than two months of long and arduous struggle.
During these months, he also kept to accept the care and inquiry from the elders as well as scolding.
Excessive care and scolding all these, he can withstand. But dealing with ‘inquiry’…. He is an honest and trustworthy good boy. Letting him against the conscience of Zhong Lian Chen to his set of words to flickers the elders, he is indeed not suited.
In addition, the Executive knew that his marriage leave is cancelled. Afraid that he will become depressed, and also afraid he will cause some accident, so simply sent him to train new students.
In theory, he is a lecturer and part-time counselor with not much strength needed. But it takes a lot of time, from day to night. So he had minimal free time.
And there were several female pilots whom are burning their eyes on him every day. He was worried that they would burn a lot on his clothes with their glare.
Occasionally when he has time, he will call Zhong Lian Chen. Analysis, discussion or negotiations. Anyway, the result is always the same. He lost!
Sample 1:
“Xiao Chen, what happened recently?”
“Nothing, just do not want to marry you.”
“Don’t take marriage as a joke, okay?”
“I am not marrying you because I do not take marriage as a joke. The one taking marriage as a joke is clearly you, okay?”
Sample 2:
“Xiao Chen, is there a misunderstood something?”
“Misunderstanding your big head ghost!”
“Jiang Wei and I are already in the past. There is no way we can get together.”
“Well, you have to abandon her. You are not a good man!”
Sample 3:
“I broke up with Jiang Wei because of personality differences.”
“Despite the personality differences, both of you dated for nearly ten years?”
“I…….”
“Is our personality compatible?”
“But we’re complementary.”
“You are shameless with your language sexual harassment. Do you think that I cannot heart it? Get lost!”
“…………….”
Sample 4:
“Let’s find time to talk.”
“Talk about the time from my birth and you have already fallen in love with me. You are just waiting for me to grow up to marry me. And all the other women are substitutes while we are born to be together…..”
“…. You go and drink a cup of water. We will talk in a while.”
“I will not want to talk with you… get lost!”
Sample5：……
Sample6：……
Sample7：……
The boys in the Cheng Family are expected to be independent. And they have to solve their own problems. Not allowed to rely on others.
But in the face of such difficult women, Cheng Shao Rong self-inductance incompetent, so he had to ask for help from two of his paternal older cousin brothers.
He first call the eldest older cousin brother. Because this cousin brother and his personality is similar. And sister-in-law and he are also young acquaintance.
“Big brother, how to deal with a very unreasonable woman?”
“What kind of relationship you have with this woman?”
“….fiancée, wife…. Somewhat of such sort.”
Big brother kept quiet for a while and then said the word:
“Ignore.”
It is as if nothing were said at all! He then had to call the second older cousin brother. This hopefully is his trump card.
Second older cousin thought for a long time before finally carefully reply with only one word:
“Endure.”
He fainted…..
Epilogue 3.22: Special Accidental Episode
At the same time, the Cheng family and Zhong family elders are talking either on the phone or face to face about the two disappointing child absurd marriage.
The first group of people:
Father Zhong: “Lao Cheng, I am sorry. My girl was spoiled by the family since childhood. It is disappointing about her nonsense pertaining the marriage!”
Father Cheng: “She is a girl. Her naughtiness is also called lively. Total opposite of Xiao Rong. This does not blame Xiao Chen. Certainly it is my Xiao Rong whom upset her.”
The second group of people:
Mother Cheng: “It is because Xiao Chen mind about Xiao Rong and Jiang Wei meet up? Xiao Rong said himself that he had really broken up with Jiang Wei. You know, this child is very reliable.”
Mother Zhong: “You still don’t understand Xiao Chen, this child? She forgets things very fast. Let her cool down, once she is tired, it will all be okay.”
The third group of people:
Grandmother Cheng: “You say, how come the children now are so full of nonsense? Even Xiao Rong can upset Xiao Chen to the extend she don’t even want to marry him anymore. And I was hoping to see the next generation of children, my great-grandchildren before I leave this world.”
Grandmother Zhong: “Well, you do not worry. As long as your Xiao Rong still want to marry Xiao Chen, this marriage will still happen. As for Xiao Chen, let her be for a while.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Asking for help that is not a help. After a day, Cheng Shao Rong no longer call Zhong Lian Chen on the phone. He decided to write her love letter. He wrote to her every day. One letter a day. A very short one. He cannot write a long letter.
I really want to spend my lifetime with you. Although I have spent a decade with Jiang Wei, but comparing with lifetime, the decade is very short, isn’t it?
You blame me for not forgetting the previous memories. I admit to it. But the memory is involuntarily. If I say I have forgotten Jiang Wei, do you not will think that I am a scum that is unreliable? You see, I can clearly remember that twenty years ago, we went to climb a mountain and we saw a weasel there together.
Although we both have not spend too much time loving each other but we have our deep friendship and affection. Love in the end will turn into family affection. We are just taking a shortcut. Of course, if you like, we can slowly cultivate.
……
……
……
The weekend is here! Cheng Shao Rong’s team-mate, Shao Gen Jin came to see him. He saw Cheng Shao Rong leaning against the wall with the bent legs while sitting on the bed with a laptop. He is trying to write something while biting a toothpick in the mouth.
“Why? Outside the sun is good. It is a waste cope up indoor. We go out to play.” Shao Gen Jin said.
“Wait for me. Another two minutes.” Cheng Shao Rong quickly browse through what he wrote and then press the ‘send’ button.
Shao Gen Jin probe his head to see. Cheng Shao Rong snapped the computer shut and almost snapped his head together.
“Cheh! So secretive… Who wants to read? Are you writing a love letter or writing a report?” Because Cheng Shao Rong’s reaction is too fast, Shao Gen Jin did not managed to see a word. Very upset, he readily pull out the ‘toothpick’ that is bitten in the mouth of Cheng Shao Rong. “Cool ah you. You think you are the knight in the shining armor?”
The result stunned him. He pulled out a lollipop. Shao Gen Jin is astonished and reach out to touch the forehead of Cheng Shao Rong.
Cheng Shao Rong said: “Writing to my wife whom is angry.” Nauseating, sour to the extent that my teeth almost fell out. Yet some sweet and slightly neutral.
Shao Gen Jin said: “I have told you already not to pretend to be kind to give a false impression. You deserve it! Hahaha…. As they say, do not cheat in the examination! Now, you know how it feels. Hahahaha…. So funny!”
Cheng Shao Rong sighed with resentment while putting away his computer emotionally. “My second brother, after working for a few months once said something to me. At that time, I thought he was extreme. But now I have to admit, his perception is always faster and stronger than me.”
Shao Gen Jin smiling from ear to ear while saying: “What did your 2nd brother said?”
“Brother said at that time, behaving in the line of the current situation.”
Zhong Lian Chen is actually very happy to receive the daily email from Cheng Shao Rong. Although she rarely reply. Occasionally when she reply, it is scolding back: “Smart tongue! You think I am so naïve?”
But one day, she did not receive any email from Cheng Shao Rong. She refreshed the email frequently until night. Did not even sleep well that night. If it is not because the task of military personnel is very detrimental to the interest of the country, she intended to continue with the dart activity that night.
Fortunately, she received two email that night, so she forgive Cheng Shao Rong in her heart.
Not because she is not ambition nor backbone. But because she is open-minded, considerate, gentle and virtuous. She could distinguish right from wrong…. And so on. All these fine traditional Chinese women’s fine virtues. Zhong Lian Chen self-deception thought.
She grew up not a tangled child. When she could not figure out the things, she usually would not think about it.
Epilogue 3.23: Special Accidental Episode
Because of a little jealousy, she decided not to marry Cheng Shao Rong. She forgot that the former girlfriend and the one before is really nothing of a big deal. To put it bluntly, she felt guilty to have been the 3rd party, destructing their relationship.
Although the external behavior of Zhong Lian Chen is very childlike, but in her heart, she is just like a virgin.
Moreover, a few days ago, she met Jiang Wei, so they ate together.
She persuaded Jiang Wei about fate. And do not casually abandoned the almost a decade of love. She repeatedly stressed that she and Cheng Shao Rong’s marriage is purely the arrangement of family. They are definitely not voluntary. Their feelings are very pure.
Sigh. God forgive her good motives. Moreover, she really did not lie. This marriage is indeed the arrangement of the elderly originally. She said she and Cheng Shao Rong really do not have any ‘feelings’ isn’t it? In particular, she stressed the ‘emotional purity’. She really did not say anything else.
Jiang Wei said, in fact, she and Cheng Shao Rong was close to breaking up four years ago. Just because they did not had the heart, and procrastinated, hence never entirely broke off.
Jiang Wei explained, Cheng Shao Rong is an emotional defects yet outstanding young person. Those years they were together, they were not much of a couple. It is more appropriate to say that they were good friends of opposite sex. He does not understand love, only understand the responsibilities and obligations. And she never was successful to gain a spot in his heart.
Finally, Jiang Wei stressed that it is rare to have a lifetime relationship like Cheng Shao Rong and Zhong Lian Chen. So she must take advantage of this to save a good yet exhausting young man.
Zhong Lian Chen and Jiang Wei went their separate way. She recalled Jiang Wei’s words on the road. She suddenly realized that Cheng Shao Rong is pitiful.
This is clearly a hope that the parents have to continuously improve and self-cultivate that eventually become obsessed with ultimate flawed personality of a talented young man case.
Zhong Lian Chen shed a few drop of tears and felt that instead of letting Cheng Shao Rong go with his high-quality appearance to deceive other women, it is better to just let her be the one that needs to endure this.
She intended to wait for Cheng Shao Rong to bring up marriage again before promising him.
But this Cheng Shao Rong, every day revolving around her telling her major principle. But never mentioned the sentence ‘When will you re-marry me?’, really hateful!
Don’t expect her to be the one to say ‘I want to marry you?’ Dream on!
In the end, it is Zhong Lian Chen that brought up the sentence.
She still continue to live a day at a time. In her daze, she stroll around. Checking emails, going online…living her life in a free and easy way. Then suddenly there is a place in China where earth-shattering event occurred. That resulted in tens of thousands of people whom were killed and millions lost their home.
When she recovered from the shock, she realized that Cheng Shao Rong have not wrote to her on time. And the 2nd day also the same.
Although he did not to disclose his whereabouts, she already guessed where he went.
Zhong Lian Chen did not want to recall the suffering that she went through during that time.
She returned to her parents’ place and watched television daily while sobbing. And when she went online, she quarreled with her online friends.
Three days later, Cheng Shao Rong finally gave her a call. The signal is not good, the line could cut off anytime. He said: “Are you okay? Stay at home quietly and don’t go out running anymore.”
Zhong Lian Chen started crying and said: “You must come back alive. You will come back alive and marry me. Or else you wait and see….”
Epilogue 3.24: Special Accidental Episode
Zhong Lian Chen, finding a new life goal, her life is once again enriched.
Her previous days are also very substantial. It should be said that her life has now become more fulfilled.
In the day time, she volunteered to help with the donations statistic and registration of the materials. At night, she habitually waited for Cheng Shao Rong’s phone or mail. But she always failed to wait for them. So she is worried. Worried that he is too tired. Worried about the hard conditions. Worried that he is in danger.
One day, she plans to be part of the volunteer team to the disaster area. She would like to see if she had the chance to see Cheng Shao Rong. Father heard about the news and head over to bring her back.
She suddenly found herself so concerned about Cheng Shao Rong. She is worried about him all the time. Is this the legendary great love?
She had not like Zhang Ai Ling. She thinks that this woman is cool and thin. However, when Cheng Shao Rong used the lesson learned from her when quoting words, she read more to get familiar with the enemy.
Her deepest impression if the 《倾城之恋》 – Love of Allure. It takes the city to fall only to achieve the love of two person together.
And now, she shamefully thought, in such a national distress, she actually achieved her long awaited love.
Right, of course this is love.
Since Cheng Shao Rong do not know how to love, then their love is entirely up to her.
How happy it is to be master of the house!
Many days later, Cheng Shao Rong finally withdraw from the disaster area. His last phone call only contain a few words. He said that he received a new task. He would not be able to contact her for a long time. There is no way of communication.
But there is no danger, so she is not to worry.
When he finished his task, he can take a long vacation. Then they can have their wedding.
Zhong Lian Chen thinks that the blue sky outside the window is particularly blue. The clouds in the sky are white and even the sound of the crickets are beautiful.
She began to seriously plan her wedding. The dresses, rings, flowers as well as the banquet arrangement. Her days are now more fulfilling than before.
The next day, Zhong Lian Chen received a shipment. It is sent from Cheng Shao Rong’s troop but the handwriting is not his.
She open it feeling very confused. Inside the courier, there is a sealed letter. And on the envelope is indeed his handsome writing. One that she had not seen for many years.
Zhong Lian Chen opened the enveloped feeling excited. The words were scribbled but it does seems more chic.
But the content of the letter-
Xiao Chen,
I have thought about it. You are right. We really cannot have a lifetime of love.
Moreover, I really cannot forget Jiang Wei.
I want to marry you, as you say, it is to be responsible to you. And also it is the want of our elders. To make them happy.
But since you are so free and easy woman with lofty ideas, then let’s forget our marriage.
As you say, we continue to be good friends. Let’s not continue the mistake.
I wish you to find the most suitable person soon. To find a vigorous love. And then marry him and have an eternal life.
Yours sincerely.
Salute.
Zhong Lian Chen was shocked! And then she was angered till she trembled.
She fought back her anger and read the letter carefully again.
She studied the thin piece of paper several times. She finally confirmed that she did not misunderstand the meaning of his words. And this letter is definitely his handwriting.
Jerk! Bad guy! Surely he hated her for writing him a letter refusing his marriage. So now he is returning it… a tooth for a tooth!
Zhong Lian Chen first thought is to call him to tell him off. But could not reach him. Oh yes, he had said. She could not contact him for a while.
Premeditated!
Zhong Lian Chen angrily tear the letter into tow and bite it a few time. She then throw it onto the ground and stomp on it a few time. But her anger is still there…. Finally she use the scissors to cut the piece of paper into hundreds of pieces before flushing it down the toilet!
Zhong Lian Chen felt that she should cry but her anger is so extreme, there were no tears. Moreover, the parents are not home. Even the servants are out to buy food. So she do not even have anyone to complain.
She calmed down a little. She felt that she will not tell the others first. It is too embarrassing, that she was dump by a guy.
However, she is about to explode. So she must find a place to breath.
Zhong Lian Chen dug out her perennial suitcase. Very good. Her passport is still valid and the visa did not expire. She want to go somewhere far away to lick the wound.
She left a note for her parents and quickly ran away.
Goodbye Cheng Shao Rong! The next time I come back, if I still remember who you are, I will follow your surname! XXXX!
Epilogue 3.25: Special Accidental Episode
Saying that the heart was severely traumatize, Zhong Lian Chen took the morning flight and fled across the ocean to a place far away.
She telephone the family to tell them that she is safe. But she did not bother to explain to them what had happened. Her cell phone is of course off.
She called her older cousin brother and requested for him to help her to deal with the aftermath. Zhong Lian Chen of course does not dare to face her father and mother.
She stayed in one place for a few days before changing the place. This is to avoid the family from finding out where she is and coming to bring her home. Before she leave the place, she would locate a phone and call to inform them that she is still alive.
Zhong Lian Chen traveled and played for two weeks and her mood improved. Now, thinking about Cheng Shao Rong no longer angered her.
And she thought, fortunately she did not marry Cheng Shao Rong. Or else, next time when she want to go abroad, the process would be troublesome. The health examination and approval procedures will be very complicated.
But….. hey……. Forget it……. TMD….. Really is hell!………….. Pooh!
On this day, when Zhong Lian Chen confirm the next leg of itinerary and is preparing to buy the ticket, the cashier politely said to her: “I am sorry Miss. Your credit card is decline.”
How can that be!
She changed one. Also a failure.
Replace with another one. The same.
Zhong Lian Chen uses her smart head and think. Immediately understand that this is the doing of her family. Because her credit cards are all prepared by her brothers, the set of passwords she do not have it. Moreover, as long as they want to harm her, they will have plenty of ways.
Damn! Her hotel bill is yet settled. Huge amount of money. Of course, she do not have enough cash on her. They know that she rarely keep cash on her. So after careful calculation, this way, she could not escape.
If know that this would happen today, she would have overdraft her credit card yesterday. No, if she know this would happen today, she would not have used the credit card. Now they have found her whereabouts.
She really did not have any sense of crisis ah!
Zhong Lian Chen bitterly returned to her room.
She is not worried about survival. There will certainly be someone who would help her settle the bill. And then bring her home.
But then, she will soon be extradited like a prisoner.
Who would be coming?
Her father? She is done! She might as well directly jump down now. She glanced down. So high. So she gave up the plan. Or pretended to faint? After all, she has low blood sugar. So this should be able to fool them for a while.
Cousin brothers? Better not be them. She is afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions and rushed to bite their neck.
Dad or brother’s secretary? The best are these people. Because they are afraid of her, so she might be able to get her way……
Zhong Lian Chen thought of the next strategies. She felt a little relief but the deep sadness hit her.
Her recent life is somehow every unbearable ah. Drunk and lost it, got cheated into engagement and then….. no unilateral love, and when she finally started to really love the fiancée, she was ruthlessly abandon. And now…. She was framed by her most trusted family. So she could not do anything but stay in the hotel waiting for them to come and bring her home. Because if she escapes now, it may not even require several hours, it may be the federal police coming to catch her.
She is simply more desolated than Xiang Yu. Ah, those are concubine.
She was even more miserable than the little girl who had sold the matches. The little girl could even play with the match to her fantasy. And she whom have just drawn two boxes of matches, choked herself for 5 minutes and also burnt some of her own lock of hair.
Zhong Lian Chen grew more and more aggrieved as she thought about it. She lay down on the bed crying for a while and then fell asleep. When she woke up, she realized that several hours had passed. But those sent to bring her home has not arrived.
This is giving her great mental torture ah. Anyway, give her a knife to kill herself mah.
She pace around in the room and then decided to go out to take some fresh air. This way, she could also take advantage of the Chinese consulate if they are still open. To explore and if necessary, she might seek help from them.
She changed her clothes and was about to leave when there is a call from the front desk saying that there is a friend waiting for her in the lobby.
What a timing. Her earlier shocked and the anger resulted her in missing her lunch. Now, she is so hungry. Even if she wants to escape, she do not have the strength.
Hiding also cannot escape. Zhong Lian Chen pace around her room for 5 minutes and finally reluctantly head down to the lobby.
The one waiting for her in the lobby is a little beyond her expectations. Perhaps it is not right to say ‘a little.’ It should be ‘seriously very greatly’ beyond her expectation!
Epilogue 3.26: Special Accidental Episode
Turned out to be her only ‘crush’ from young, Cheng Shao Chen!
Zhong Lian Chen is shocked to the extend, she only stood there stunned. Forgetting to even say hello.
Cheng Shao Chen said: “Give you half an hour to pack up your things.”
She finally recovered. “No Need. 15 minutes is enough. You wait for me for a while.” Then quickly rushed to the elevator.
Hey, not ah! She planned before how to deal with the person whom were coming to pick her isn’t it? How even now she so honestly submitted herself? Disgruntled distraught!
When Zhong Lian Chen realized this, she is already sitting on the plane heading back to motherland. Now, she really no longer can escape.
Moreover, Cheng Shao Chen timing is so accurate. She did not even get to eat anything, she was already whisked onto the flight. Now really hungry.
“Brother Shao Chen, I am hungry.” She whispered.
“The food will be served shortly. You can have two servings.”
“I hate airline meals.”
“Then you sleep for a while. When you are asleep, you would not feel hungry.” Cheng Shao Chen turned the English newspaper without looking up.
“Why did you not let me have dinner before boarding the plane?”
“If you eat, you will have enough strength. If you run way, it will be strenuous to catch you.”
She feel like crying. Even her dearest Brother Xiao Chen is bullying her. But she was so hungry she did not have the strength to cry.
Zhong Lian Chen cried in her hear. Sob Sob! She is her father and mother, and even her uncle who care so much for the stray cats and dogs unwanted and unloved poor child.
The stewardess finally served the meal. Cheng Shao Chen very politely push his share in front of her.
“I want a very strong cup of coffee and four cakes.” Said Zhong Lian Chen.
Cheng Shao Chen finally turned around and looked at her. He turned to the stewardess and said lightly: “Give her a glass of juice. And give me two packets of tissue.”
Well, although she did not get what she wanted, but her Brother Xiao Chen is still very concerned about her.
After eating, Zhong Lian Chen finally have the strength. She started sharing her recent months of miserable experience one by one to the listening Cheng Shao Chen. She have been holding it back in her heart for a long time without a chance to share with anyone. Finally there is a living person who is listening to her.
The more she share the more aggrieved she got. She first quietly shed the tears. And it turned into whispered sobbing and slowing the tears just flow continuously getting heavier by the minutes.
Cheng Shao Chen is really lacking in sympathy. She cried so miserably but he is indifferent with his eyes still staring at the English newspaper in his hand. But when her tears is about to flow into her mouth, he will reach out to her and wiping her tears with tissues. Really strange, he obviously is not looking at her.
But Cheng Shao Chen is a good listener. He did not tell her to shut up. Not say anything while she is talking. But do not know even if he is listening. No matter, anyway, Zhong Lian Chen pouring her heart grievance out, she already feeling much better.
But of course when she is narrating, she only focus on exaggeration of Cheng Shao Rong’s deeds. And she never mention their one-night stand events.
Later, Zhong Lian Chen realized that Cheng Shao Chen is listening to every words that she said. Because when she mention the letter, Cheng Shao Chen even smiled and with the expression of surprised and laughing: “When did this kid become so bold?”
Zhong Lian Chen cried up in anger and aroused the other passengers in the first-class cabin to turn around and looked at them. Fortunately, there are not many first-class guests.
The stewardess hurried over: “Is this lady uncomfortable? Do I need to do anything for you?”
Cheng Shao Chen waited till her sobbing settled and then patted her shoulder. “Well, well, that letter should not have been written by Xiao Rong. Or he is just teasing you.”
Zhong Lian Chen after the loud cry earlier, could no longer cry. But she still want to pretend to cry: “Sob sob. You are bad people. Even you bully me!”
“Later when you want to cry, find a place and cry loudly just like just now. Just crying is too depressing and is detrimental to your health. People listening to you will also feel uncomfortable.”
Zhong Lian Chen close her eyes and play dead…… No, pretending to sleep.
This flight journey is so long. There are many more hours. She really have no face to see anyone.
The plane finally landed. On the way home, Cheng Shao Chen took her to eat her favourite food. She was very happily eating when someone came to give Cheng Shao Chen tickets. Only one ticket.
Zhong Lian Chen asked: “Brother Shao Chen, where are you going? You want to leave me here alone to fend myself?”
Cheng Shao Chen said mildly: “How could I? Uncle Zhong went on a business trip. I am sending you to him.”
“Which Uncle Zhong?”
“Your father.”
Epilogue 3.27: Special Accidental Episode
Zhong Lian Chen cried again. The countless eyes around the luxurious restaurant turned to look at her.
Cheng Shao Chen raised the magazine in his hand to block his face. He hope that passer-by will think that he has no relationship with the woman in front of him.
But then Zhong Lian Chen went around his side and pulled his sleeves: “You cannot leave me here regardless. Sob Sob. This time, my father will certainly locked me up for at least a month. I don’t want! You bring me along where you go!”
So a few hours later, Zhong Lian Chen successfully escape her father’s influence and is temporary safe.
Getting out of the airport, a spacious car is waiting for them. In the car is also seated a middle-aged woman with a serious expression. She saw them, got up and politely salute. There is still no smile on her face, as if everyone owed her money.
Cheng Shao Chen did not seem to mind. He introduced her to Zhong Lian Chen: “This is Manager Leng.” And to the driver, he said: “I need to first go to the company to attend a meeting.”
In the car, Cheng Shao Chen instructed Manager Leng: “Prepare a credit card for Ms Zhong. Only to be used in this city. Find Ms Zhong a place to stay. Bring her to buy some clothes and necessities within reasonable range. Meet all her requirement.”
Manager Leng nodded earnestly.
Cheng Shao Chen stressed again: “Within a reasonable range.”
Manager Leng nodded again.
Before getting off the car, Cheng Shao Chen took out a bank card and hand over to Zhong Lian Chen. And he confiscated her passport.
Zhong Lian Chen wiped her tears and said: “Brother Shao Chen, they are all bad. You are the best person to me.”
Cheng Shao Chen said: “You be obedient. You are not allowed to be naughty. Not allowed to cause trouble. Or else I would be worst than them.”
Zhong Lian Chen nodded obediently. “I will listen to you, Brother Shao Chen. You are better than Cheng Shao Rong a hundred times.” She thought for a while and added: “A million times better.”
Cheng Shao Chen looked up the sky at the plane in the sky: “The recent inflation is really very powerful.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few days later, Zhong Lian Chen is having dinner together with her older cousin brother, Zhong Zhen Kai and Cheng Shao Chen.
“Xiao Chen this girl. Ran over to the other side of the world. Even the phone is off. Only calling home every two or three days to report that she is safe. The entirely family went through anxious time because of her. Let see how we ‘clean’ her up after this.” That time, Zhong Zheng Kai had a few drinks and said hardly.
“If you dare to touch a single hair of hers in the foreign land, be careful that she goes to the police. At time, you will not even be able to return to homeland.” Cheng Shao Chen coolly said.
“Ah, according to her state that time, the damage is absolutely large. So I worry about it. My uncle told me to go and bring her back. But this ghostlike girl, before I could make a move, she changed place. And how do I have the ability to catch her?” Zhong Zheng Kai said sadly.
“There is method. You guys just did not had the guts to do it. Drive her to the corner without food. Cut all her credit card usage. This girl have never suffered. She certainly would be calling home for help after a few days.”
“Damn! That is my baby cousin sister. Your comrade sister. You are really poisonous.” Zhong Zheng Kai is fully awaken from his drunken state.
“That is why I said you don’t have the heart to do it. So you still wait for her to play outside till she is tired and come home. Sooner or later.” Cheng Shao Chen said without a care.
“You know my sister very well.” Zhong Zhen Kai wiped the amount of sweat. “If I dare to let her suffer a few dare outside there, when she return, she may potentially kill me.”
“I am heading over to where she is for a business trip. You really do not need me to bring her back?” Cheng Shao Chen said casually to Zhong Zhen Kai.
Zhong Zhen Kai almost cried out and rushed to embrace Cheng Shao Chen. “Yes, of course. Brother, you must bring our Xiao Chen home. The sooner the better. I will do whatever you command.”
Epilogue 3.28: Special Accidental Episode
A month later, Zhong Lian Chen and Cheng Shao Rong finally reconciled with some details omitted in the middle.
They will of course as what Grandmother Zhong had said. As long as Cheng Shao Rong really want to marry Zhong Lian Chen, the marriage will definitely happen. The Cheng family children best criteria is keeping their promises even if they have to overcome ten thousand of difficulty to achieve the end goal. Zhong Lian Chen has always been strong on the outside but in actual fact, she is a real ‘chicken’. So the result is inevitable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The beautiful dusk, golden sunset, Cheng Shao Rong hand in hand with Zhong Lian Chen walking through the center of the square fountain. They startled a few pigeons.
Cheng Shao Rong rub her fingers and asked: “Do you want to eat cotton candy?”
Zhong Lian Chen: “Am I that childish? I want to eat candied fruits!”
Cheng Shao Rong went to buy her a lot of candied fruit. All the different tastes. Zhong Lian Chen ate till her ear pained.
Next to them is a pair of couple with white hair, walking while looking at them with a smile. They said: “What a sweet and loving couple. The guy even use candied fruits to make into a bouquet flowerlike to give her.”
Biting into the candied fruits Zhong Lian Chen said: “That lady with the surname Piao, why suddenly become so kind? I thought she would certainly take the chance to stave off the image of both of us, turning us into ugly people. Especially the smart and lovely me. And then make our beautiful story into a beautiful and vulgar absurd script to make money. Why she suddenly turn so nice? I am not used to it!”
Cheng Shao Rong said: “How can the world be so cheap? It is said that her script is written but 2nd brother sent her a cheque of two million with the condition that she destroy the original scrip that was written.”
Zhong Lian Chen whispered a curse. Cheng Shao Rong turned and looked at her. He saw her biting back her tongue.
Zhong Lian Chen said: “2nd brother is very compromising, unfamiliar to his evil forces. He is too kind to this woman.”
Cheng Shao Rong said: “Who knows what guilt that the woman use again him. Or what damage she is using from the trap to try to frame him. You know, 2nd sister in law situation is a little special. So 2nd brother is worried…. Really strange… why 2nd sister in law like the author name Piao so much? Almost as if it is her friend. 2nd sister in law is such a tasteful woman… in short, 2nd brother has a headache because of this.”
Zhong Lian Chen said: “Isn’t her novel finished? The outcome is set. So want to change may not be necessary successful.”
Cheng Shao Rong sighed: “Isn’t there a thing call changing script? A few hundreds of words changed will change the outcome of the story. 2nd brother gave her face. Letting her have her way.”
“It is better to change the two million dollars into coins. Put her into the pit and then bury her with the coins. Then the world would be much cleaner.”
Cheng Shao Rong said: “She is not guilty of evil. But you have to stay away from her. So that you don’t learn her bad habits.”
Zhong Lian Chen thought: “In fact, Sister Piao is not a bad person. Occasionally she have a strange temper. But come to think of it, compared to the security if sister comes, she is good to me. She basically do not bully me and still arranged for some games for me to play while waiting. She really loves me ah….”
Cheng Shao Rong glanced at her: “That is consider a good person? Then you have to please me. Every year when we go and visit 2nd brother for a week, I will chat with 2nd sister in law and you go and handle 2nd brother.”
Zhong Lian Chen: “Really?” Then with a little frustration: “Better not! Later Brother Shao Chen will irritate me.”
Cheng Shao Rong gentle snorted and mutter under his breath to the ears of Zhong Lian Chen: “That is the purpose. To let him irritate you.”
Epilogue 3.29: Special Accidental Episode
The debut of Shao Gen Jin, a soldier in uniform.
Shao Gen Jin: This is how it is. In the implementation of the task into the disaster area, because of the situation with many uncertainties with high risk, we have all the comrades to write a letter. So that should anything happen to the comrades and they are killed, we will send the letter from the organization to the family as their last words. At that time, my mind flashes countless memories of childhood……
General Public: Shao Gen Jin… please get to the main point.
Shao Gen Jin: Yes. Who do you want me to talk about? Cheng Shao Rong…. Oh, he wrote the letter the fastest. After he sealed the letter, later he found another piece of paper and then began to write the second letter…. It is to his fiancée. (Shao Gen Jin took a long pause here…)
General Public: It is departing letter only when something happen to the comrade. Why send it out?
Shao Gen Jin: Blame it on me for being such a good friend. When we wrote those letters, we look dignified and solemn as if we really want to say goodbye to our family. Only when Shao Rong wrote the letter to his fiancée that he had the smile on his mouth. The level is not really high, but we can imagine the content that he wrote…. Must be sweet and loving. Then… we withdraw from the disaster areas and those letters were all given back to everyone. Shao Rong because of emergency was assigned to another assignment in another area. So he asked me to take the letters on his behalf and destroy those letters.
General Public: Oh!
Shao Gen Jin: We are buddies from childhood. And I know him well. This guy is terrible. If not forced, I am afraid this life he will never say any words of love from his heart. My ‘sister-in-law’ would rarely have the opportunity to listen to his heart and loving words, how can miss this opportunity? So I cleverly sent the original letter that he wrote to his fiancée.
General Public: Brother Shao, when Cheng Shao Rong know the truth, did he beat you up?
Shao Gen Jin: We are brothers ah. As the saying goes, brotherhood, such a hand-footed woman, how to hand-foot for the purpose of anti-purpose…. Of course, when he know about the truth, it was a long time after. That time, we were thousands of miles apart. Even if he wanted to beat me, I was beyond his reach…. Cheng Shao Rong has always been healthy, but he suddenly had health problem. He vomited blood slightly. But the appropriate release of the blood is also helpful to him. So he should be very grateful to me, just not good in expressing his emotion. Don’t you think so?
General Public: Time to go. Shao Gen Jin, thank you for your time.
Epilogue 3.30: Special Accidental Episode
Zhong Lian Chen’s wedding is just like how she lost her virginity… it came unknown and unprepared to her.
Initially she had discussed with Cheng Shao Rong and decided to extend the wedding for two years. In the two years, she and Cheng Shao Rong will enjoy the long distance relationship.
Cheng Shao Rong had no comments.
As a results……….
It was only a party. Maternal grandmother’s eightieth birthday celebration at the Grand Hotel where there are a lot of friends and family invited.
Cheng Shao Rong happen to also be on a long holiday.
Someone came over in help Zhong Lian Cheng with the makeup. Grandmother say that she wanted her by her side, so must be properly groomed and dressed up.
The makeup took a long time and also the hair is neatly groomed. Zhong Lian Chen felt strange: “Is it necessary to be so grand?”
And later she was given a milky white dress with many layers. Zhong Lian Chen said: “This is too exaggerated. Not as if I am getting married!”
And then…… announcement was made to the guests of the banquet. Maternal grandmother said with a smile: “Welcome everyone to this old lady eightieth birthday party. But there is a much more important program for tonight that I would like to announce here now. That tonight is my precious baby granddaughter Zhong Lian Chen with another precious child that I watched growing up, Cheng Shao Rong’s Wedding Banquet. We did not notify you in advance is because we wanted to surprise you.”

The hall are filled with friends and relatives. Zhong Lian Chen die not have the courage to escape the marriage. She pretended to be a happy bride nestled in the arms of Cheng Shao Rong.
Her face was smiling but through her clenched teeth, she said: “Cheng Shao Rong, you are dead!”
Cheng Shao Rong said with an innocent face: “I also do not know ah”
In the lounge….:
Zhong Lian Cheng: “How come I don’t know that I am getting married today?”
Aunty: “Oh, sorry. Forgot to inform you both.”
Zhong Lian Chen: “But we do not have any marriage registration ah?”
Aunty: “Fortunately, the guests does not know. Quickly make up for it tomorrow.”
In short, Zhong Lian Chen’s complaint went on deaf ear. So she was inexplicably deceived into marriage.
Epilogue 3.31: Special Accidental Episode
~~~~~~~~~~
In front of the special amateur journalist, Shao Gen Jin said:
A few of the comrades and I are very familiar with Cheng Shao Rong. So we are actually very puzzled for a long time on how Shao Rong and Xiao Chen started their relationship together.
Before this, he occasionally mention the name Zhong Lian Chen. But more as a growing up playmate, also like a younger sister. There were no slightest clue of him loving her. Why so suddenly she became his fiancée. Really a big doubt.
And Cheng Shao Ron was dating a woman named Jiang Wei for many years isn’t it? Although he also rarely mentioned her.
At the same time, Cheng Shao Rong is very tight lipped about the whole thing. We attempted many time to try to force him to share with us but failed.
Well, since there are so many unsolved mysteries, this is just one of it.
I do not want to waste my previous brain cells.
What? Talk about the wedding scene? Oh, okay.
In fact, there is nothing to talk about. It is just like another wedding ceremony.
Just more luxurious, since both side of the family are wealthy.
The bride and groom are more beautiful than average people
The wedding dinner is more delicious.
Yes, I heard a little talk within the family.
“We are finally a real family now.” Grandmother Cheng said. “But cheating them, the children will not rebel back?”
Grandmother Zhong said: “The two children are solid. They will not have any strength to rebel back.”
Shao Rong’s mother said to Lian Chen’s mother: “No matter, it is better than us worrying about it day after day.”
Hey, what is this? I do not understand.
Shao Rong and Xiao Chen are still arguing outside for a while.
Xiao Chen said: “You swear that today has nothing to do with you.”
Shao Rong said: “Have you had enough? This is the third time.”
Xiao Chen said: “Then you make the oath. If you lie today, you will have to endure my lifetime of bully and slave abuse!”
Shao Rong said: “it is necessary to do this oath?”
Ha Ha Ha. But still did not understand.
Yes, at the wedding, I met a particularly beautiful little girl. Simply like the little angel.
The little angel pulled at my pants and said: “Uncle, uncle, you are so handsome. I love you so much!”
I was flattered: “Really?”
The little angel smiled: “Do you have a girlfriend?”
I said: “No”
The little angel smiled and said: “Then I introduce you to a good one, okay?”
I said: “Okay. Where?”
The little angel pointed to her nose: “That is me. You must wait till I grow up. So you must not fall in love with anyone else. You know that you must wait for me to grow up.”
I said: “That…. This…. You must be kidding!”
The little angel said: “You have promised me. A man making a promise that must be kept. Let’s do the pinky promise. If you do anything behind my back, your nose will grow to be as long as the elephant trunk. Oh, my name is Cheng Qian Yu. What is your name?”
This is not an angel. This is a devil!
Let me see, what else happen at the wedding. Ah ah. How can I forget it! I finally met my dream ‘wife’. Let me think of how to describe this… hey, I really regret not learning the language. She is quiet and elegant, a beautiful Dutch with a sweet smile. How come I never get to meet this woman before…….

Epilogue 3.33: Special Accidental Episode (FINAL)
Zhong Lian Cheng after marriage discussion
A: A forced love confession
Zhong Lian Chen: Cheng Shao Rong, we name our child ‘Cheng Ai Lian’, okay?
Cheng Shao Rong: Are you pregnant?
Zhong Lian Chen: No. Just preparing ahead of time.
Cheng Shao Rong: The name sounded vulgar.
Zhong Lian Chen: Where is it vulgar? ‘Ai Lian’…. Such a meaningful name.
Cheng Shao Rong: In 姑姑 name, there is the word ‘Ai – 爱 (love)’ and your name has ‘Lian – 恋 (love)’. In my family, the re-name of the elders name is not allowed.
姑姑 (pin ying: Gūgū) – means aunty that is younger than his father
Zhong Lian Chen: In short, you do not love me!
Cheng Shao Rong: There we go again!
Zhong Lian Chen: You do not love me! Sob sob sob
Cheng Shao Rong: How is it that I do not love you?
Zhong Lian Chen: How much do you love me?
Cheng Shao Rong: How much you want me to love you is how much I love you.
Zhong Lian Chen: I am very demanding? You are so preoccupied. You never give me any opinion.
Cheng Shao Rong: Oh. Such a heavy statement. I love you so much till I would even return from death. Until the end of time.
Zhong Lian Chen: Ah… this is much better.
Zhong Lian Chen: Please help me to get a cup of soda.
Cheng Shao Rong: Why? Are you feeling unwell?
Zheng Lian Chen: My stomach is feeling discomfort.
B: Abettor
A year later, Zhong Lian Chen showed Cheng Qian Yu her wedding photos.
Cheng Qian Yu: Auntie, your wedding dress is beautiful.
Zhong Lian Chen: When Yu is grown up, you can wear wedding dress too.
Cheng Qian Yu: I want to have ten marriage! So that I can have 10 wedding dresses!
Zhong Lian Chen: You want to marry a person ten times or would like to marry ten different people?
Cheng Qian Yu: I don’t know. What do you think is better, Aunty?
Zhong Lian Chen: Of course, marrying ten people would be best! Us women should have a good youth. Mixing with men, it is indeed sad!
Cheng Qian Yu: I see, Aunty! I will try to make up for your regrets!
C: The wicked first complaint
Zhong Lian Chen called her eldest cousin brother to complaint: Brother Kai, Cheng Shao Rong bully me!
Cousin Brother: Poor Cheng Shao Rong. Finally he has a holiday but he is troubled to death!
~~~~~~~~
Zhong Lian Chen called the 3rd cousin brother: Brother Lei, Cheng Shao Rong bullied me!
3rd cousin brother: Hahahahaha…. Cheng Shao Rong always give in to you. And still you cannot win the battle with him. You are really useless ah….
~~~~~~~~~
Zhong Lian Chen decided to call Cheng Shao Chen instead. She is convinced that the one that cares for her the most is Cheng Shao Rong. And of course now her brother-in-law, Cheng Shao Chen. This is because he will never be like the two bad guys whom would be sarcastic in front of her.
“Brother Shao Chen, Cheng Shao Rong bully me!”
“Oh, this is not good.”
“Brother Shao Chen, you will help me take revenge!”
“What do you want me to do?”
“Skin him and pull out his tendon!”
“It is too hard. You can do it yourself.”
“Oh. Brother Shao Chen, you promised that no matter who is wrong, you will support me.”
“I mean spiritual support.”
~~~~~~~~~~~
After marriage, Zhong Lian Chen no longer run around the world. Her grandparents and Cheng Shao Rong’s grandparents, her parents and her parents-in-law all lives in three different cities. So she takes turn to stay in each cities, just like a precious little one that is highly demanded by all sides of the families.
Most of her time were spent in doing charity. In the protection of the abused elderly women and children. And also for the abused animals.
Occasionally, she would also published some articles in the newspaper and magazines. The response are very good. Along with the city’s cultural circle, there were several people whom are familiar with her background. They supported her and with some added support, Zhong Lian Chen quickly become a noble mystery beautiful yet elegant and generous intellectual good woman model.
Her two most famous articles are her, ‘experience of the relatives’ – ‘urban observation of the reunion – between death and then’. As well as her own personal experience on the childhood ‘Revolutionary friendship and affection for the development of the feasibility of love’. These two articles became hit that year that ripple and resulted in a huge response as well as triggering a wide range of discussion.
Later, a very unscrupulous author plagiarized her creativity and took these two articles infinitely blending in the surface and then printed two boring book titled:《过客，匆匆》and《作茧自缚》
The enthusiastic readers revealed these two books and gave adverse reactions.
