(continued with the previous article short story "Revealing the Old")
Lin Qiang graduated from university and returned to the provincial capital where his parents were. Due to physical and mental fatigue, he did not look for a job, but decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination. He was in the university where his father was, which was also a well-known university in China. The science major I chose this time was mathematics, and the academic system was three years. In the past three years, he has been focused on studying. His mother said he was stupid in studying, but his father said that he should be like this when studying. Only he himself understands that books are anesthetics, classrooms are healing, and the wounds in the heart must heal slowly. In the past three years, he has hardly ever interacted with anyone. He has never paid attention to other things except to pay attention to whether the girl he likes is married, and even forgot about the change of the four seasons.
He has his own space on the Internet. In the virtual world, he married a girl and also got a marriage certificate . He became a qualified husband, caring for his beloved woman everywhere, and his "wife" also recognized his love, and the little bird stayed with him and flew with him. But he still has to return from virtual to reality, and reality is painful and frustrated.
Lin Qiang's approach is not a pathological one. He knows very well that the virtual world is unrealistic, pure mirage , but he just wants to stay in this world for the time being to satisfy his dreams that cannot be realized in reality. After graduating from graduate school, he chose to study for a doctorate again. During this period, he became much clearer and completely separated from the virtual world. He wanted to prove himself to show others. He no longer fantasizes about marrying that girl, but he does not want to marry another girl, but instead has to focus on his career.
As a doctoral student, Lin Qiang entered the product research and development center after being hired by this new company. According to regulations, he had to work as an assistant for three years, but in just one year, Lin Qiang joined the main creative team, became the main designer in two years, and became the technical director of the R&D center five years later. To sum up the reason why Lin Qiang grew up so quickly, besides being smart and good foundation, he is just focused on doing his career. How can such a person fail to succeed? However, Lin Qiang still ignored an important thing, that is, his father is getting older and older, he is already in his 70s and almost 80 years old.
That year, my father suddenly suffered from myocardial infarction. Because he discovered it in time and rescued it effectively, he saved his life. However, he could only live a semi-self-care state. At this time, the old father was thinking about asking him to get married quickly and he wanted to see his grandson. Lin Qiang knew that his father was not boyish over girls, and his three sisters were by his father's side. Usually, they were taking care of his father, and the three sisters also had children. Therefore, his father already had a grandson and a granddaughter. The reason why he said this was that he hoped that Lin Qiang would get married as soon as possible. At this time, Lin Qiang was no longer young. He got married and started a family and had his own children. He no longer objected. In this way, the leaders of the R&D center were very enthusiastic and soon there was a candidate. This girl also worked in the R&D center and is now in charge of technical consultation in the marketing department. The key is that the two of them are familiar with each other in college. They are both studying mathematics. They are a tutor. However, Lin Qiang is studying for a doctorate and a girl is studying for a master's degree. She is 5 years younger than Lin Qiang, which is also a classmate.
The girl is Gu Qian. In recent years, she has been mainly engaged in careers. At the same time, she is very enthusiastic and has been alone. She admired Lin Qiang very much when she was in graduate school, so she quickly agreed. Lin Qiang actually has no idea about this. It doesn’t matter who to marry. It’s just for the sake of his father. In this way, the two of them have established a romantic relationship. Soon, we met our parents again, and the next step was that our parents urged us to get married and arranged to get them married.
After marriage, the two also had a relatively warm time, respecting each other as guests, and not saying they love each other, but they never make noise, and even have no trivial conflicts. After the daughter was born, the problem gradually became exposed, and from then on, family cold violence began. Because of no emotional foundation, Lin Qiang became self-righteous and didn't care about Gu Qian's feelings at all. Gu Qian was also the kind of person who held something in her heart and would rather bear it than say it out loud. After a while, the two of them were strangers. The couple had only status and no love.Both of them are senior intellectuals, and they don’t make noises or make trouble, and they just waste their time. They are very nice to their daughters and know that their daughter is innocent. Gu Qian believes that she has a girl and a daughter, and she will not remarry even if she divorces. It is better not to divorce, and she can give her daughter a complete home. Lin Qiang was even more open-minded. He got married for his parents at the time, but now, it is also for his parents not to divorce. It is the same whether he gets married or not, so there is no need to divorce. In this way, the marriage between the two was maintained until their daughter was about to go to school. The teaching quality here was not as good as that of the provincial capital. Gu Qian proposed to take her daughter back to the provincial capital, and Lin Qiang had no objection.
The so-called Gu Qian takes her daughter back to the provincial capital, which means that Gu Qian wants to quit her current job and find another job in the provincial capital. The two really want to separate, and some things need to be made clear. Gu Qian's idea is that his daughter should be cultivated in the direction of art since childhood. This is a considerable fee. Lin Qiang said that money is not a problem, he can be responsible for everything, but Gu Qian cannot make a divorce request. Gu Qian said yes, but she also had a requirement, that is, Lin Qiang could not cheat within marriage, and Lin Qiang also said yes. Both of them felt empty-handed, so they signed a husband-and-wife agreement. The two did not divorce or cheat. Once they violated, all the family property and assets, securities, stocks, intellectual property, investments and enterprises under their personal name belong to each other. Gu Qian is easy to deal with. Gu Qian and her daughter returned to the provincial capital and lived at Lin Qiang’s parents’ home. Lin Qiang did not suspect that Gu Qian would cheat. On Lin Qiang's side, Lin Qiang himself asked Gu Qian to give the impression of the company's people, and he was still a complete home and had to come back once a month. In order to prevent Lin Qian from cheating, Gu Qian also had to come back from time to time. This is the whole content of the husband-and-wife agreement.
seems ridiculous, but the living facts happen to two high-level intellectuals. Let’s not talk about why Gu Qian had to sign this agreement for the time being, just talk about Lin Qiang. The divorce between the two cannot be explained to their parents, nor does it fit their own ideas. Infidelity within marriage will directly affect his future. To be more accurate, he will not physically cheat. Because he is a person who loves first and has no love cheating, he is no different from an animal. However, mentally cheating on is not within the scope of the agreement. Not only that, from the day he and Gu Qian got married, he was actually mentally cheating.
This is what Lin Qiang mentioned above can't control himself when he sees Lan Fang. It turns out that Lan Fang's beauty, elegance and understanding are the person Lin Qiang longs for day and night, and this is called love at first sight. He wanted to have a vigorous spiritual love with Lan Fang, which was also called "platonic love" by Lin Qiang. The first question was that it did not violate morality or damage the family. If Lan Fang did not accept this kind of spiritual love, he would be unrequited and return to his college years again.
However, Lin Qiang's spiritual love will not be accepted in secular society.
(Lin Qiang once again deviated from the "normal track" in love, and it is even better than in college, and it is no longer a normal person's heart. I will further describe the results of Lin Qiang's heart in the next article.)
