Chapter 224 Fang Yanyun's views are very traditional
After seeing Feng Chengcheng and Wang Yueqi off, Zhang Dongliang stretched himself. It was really tiring and mentally exhausting to have dinner with these two women.
If Wang Yueqi didn't come today, Zhang Dongliang was going to pour some cold water on Feng Chengcheng.
This is to prevent Feng Chengcheng from heating up too quickly and causing backlash against Zhang Dongliang.
But with Wang Yueqi's interference, nothing was accomplished. They just had a meal. They could only wait until the next time they had the chance to throw cold water on the matter.
This is not the case for Feng Chengcheng today.
It wasn't just a matter of having a meal; the key was that she met the person she wanted to see and talked to him for such a long time.
The person in his dream might have a work to give to him, which made Feng Chengcheng feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. With the departure of Xu Wenqiang, Fang Yanyun thought that she should be heartbroken and calm.
But for some reason, she did not feel depressed. Instead, the figure of a man often flashed vaguely in her mind.
This man was not Xu Wenqiang, nor was he one of the patrons he met in the dance hall, but Zhang Dongliang, with whom he drank and chatted that night.
Fang Yanyun didn't pay attention to these feelings. She thought they were illusions caused by overthinking. It takes time for people who have been hurt to get over it.
But as Zhang Dongliang flashed in her mind more and more often, Fang Yanyun's mind underwent some subtle changes. She found that she actually thought of this man often.
For some reason, Fang Yanyun really wanted to meet this man these days. She wanted to have another long talk with him.
She sent someone to deliver a letter to the man, wondering if he would come.
"Am I too frivolous?" Time passed in Fang Yanyun's anxiety and fear.
A famous person once said: "The best way for a man to forget a woman is to find another woman."
The reverse may also be true for women: "The best way to forget a man is to have a new man."
Zhang Dongliang was still a little surprised when he received Fang Yanyun's invitation.
He thought that when he met Fang Yanyun in the future, they might chat like friends, but he didn't expect to receive an invitation from Fang Yanyun so soon.
When a woman feels empty and lonely, she really needs friends to chat with her.
Fang Yanyun's place was not a dangerous place, so Zhang Dongliang happily decided to go to the appointment.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm so sorry to have the audacity to invite you to dinner."
"Miss Fang, you don't have to be polite. Didn't we become good friends last time?" Zhang Dongliang smiled and helped Fang Yanyun out.
"I don't know why, but when I saw Mr. Zhang, I felt like I had known him for a long time." Fang Yanyun expressed her doubts.
"Actually, I feel the same way, Miss Fang Yanyun." Zhang Dongliang muttered silently in his heart: "Can I say that I knew you when I watched TV dramas when I was a child?"
"Miss Fang, do you know the story of So Close Yet So Far Away?" Zhang Dongliang decided to use his magical power to deceive people.
"Well, I know a little bit." Fang Yanyun listened to Zhang Dongliang's words in confusion, not knowing what he wanted to say.
“Some people stay together for a lifetime, but their hearts still feel far away.
Some people may have only met once, but feel very close to each other in spirit.
This is what I understand as being so close yet so far away. What does Miss Fang think of it?"
Fang Yanyun looked at Zhang Dongliang with a smile on her face without saying anything. In fact, she agreed with Zhang Dongliang's nonsense in her heart.
Sometimes friends are so strange, they don’t need to say much, even if they just sit there, there is a strange sense of tacit understanding.
Zhang Dongliang and Fang Yanyun are in this situation now.
The two of them sat there staring at each other, without any feeling of awkwardness. Instead, there was a kind of tacit understanding spreading between them.
"Aren't you going to cook, Miss Fang? Are you really going to let me starve?"
Fang Yanyun burst into laughter, just like the sun dispelling the dark clouds, and her whole body was filled with a bright feeling: "I'll go find Aunt Wu to prepare dinner."
"Mr. Zhang, thank you for coming here today. I'll toast you a glass."
"We are both wanderers in this world, drifting alone in the ocean of loneliness. I drink this cup with Miss Fang."
Zhang Dongliang's knowledge and talent made Fang Yanyun's eyes light up: "Humph, you lied to me that you graduated from high school, I don't believe it."
"Mr. Zhang, I am in the dust and you are in the human world. Don't you think I am lowly?"
"A speck of dust from the times is like a mountain on everyone's head. When the situation becomes irresistible, saving your life is the top priority."
"Do you think the world now still looks like the world?" Zhang Dongliang said slowly, "It's the devil in the world now."
Fang Yanyun's eyes moistened. She regretted that she had not met Zhang Dongliang earlier and had not invited him to dinner a few days earlier.
"I am Fang Yanyun, and I am grateful for your advice. Please drink this cup to the full, Mr. Fang."
"Miss Fang, you are too kind. Maybe you think too highly of me. I am not the kind of good person you think I am."
"What do you mean, Mr. Zhang?" Fang Yanyun didn't quite understand why Zhang Dongliang suddenly said this.
"Hasn't Miss Fang figured out that I'm a hypocritical playboy?"
"Just this~~just this~~you say that you are not a good person?" Fang Yanyun was a little dumbfounded when she heard what Zhang Dongliang said.
Polygamy is still very common in this era, and so-called romantic talents are even more common.
Many celebrities are frequent visitors to places of entertainment and are proud of it. They do not regard it as a sign that they are not good people.
When Fang Yanyun heard Zhang Dongliang say that he was a playboy and not a good person, she couldn't accept this statement for a while.
"Since ancient times, many talented people have been romantic. Why do you have to belittle yourself, Mr. Zhang?"
"Don't you think I'm a playboy?"
"But aren't all capable men like this? Isn't this normal?"
"But I just hope I'm a playboy, not a womanizer. I'm a typical example of a magistrate who can only set fires but not the people."
Zhang Dongliang specifically explained his meaning to Fang Yanyun.
"Isn't that what men always ask of women? This is normal. Isn't that how society is?"
"I didn't expect that someone as highly educated as Miss Fang would think so."
"I am also a human being if I have received higher education. Besides, I am also a woman."
"Excuse me, Miss Fang, please drink this cup to the full."
"Miss Fang, I have a question, but I don't know if I should ask it or not."
"Mr. Zhang, please speak."
"Miss Fang, I know there was a story about Du Shiniang in ancient times. Of course, I don't hope to meet Du Shiniang, please rest assured about this, Miss Fang."
"I mean, it's easy for many people to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality." Zhang Dongliang considered his words and continued:
"Many people have seen a life of extravagance and luxury, and they may not be able to accept returning to a simple life.
Especially when she was left alone at home while her husband was out having fun, she couldn't accept it."
"Yes, there are many such people. But it depends on the situation~~"
Hi, the Great Wall was not built in a day, and Rome was not built in a day either.
Zhang Dongliang knew that they had to stop talking about this topic today, and going any further would be too much.
