At this moment, Zhang Ling actually thought of the "Two Theorems of True Love" that Yan Yuan sometimes talked about.
Yan Yuan said that true love is the encounter between soul and soul, and physical intimacy is only its result...
After getting along with Li Xiang during this period, I found that the soul compatibility between the two of them is very high.
Often it only takes one look and one action from the other person to understand what the other person wants to express.
She enjoyed this feeling that had disappeared for many years.
Reminiscing again is like the first love that has always been with you and never left.
As for physical intimacy, it never happened with her first love, so she never thought about having anything to do with Li Xiang.
Because unlike Yan Yuan, she is willing to enjoy the passion and tenderness brought by the body in the name of finding true love.
She firmly believes that if a man and a woman truly love each other, they will be willing to leave their souls and bodies to their true love perfectly after marriage.
Only in this way can we be worthy of the word "true love", otherwise all other true love will be flawed.
You must know that Zhang Ling is not a perfectionist who pursues perfection in everything.
But she is almost harsh in pursuing the perfection of true love!
Theorem 1: Love is a passion of devotion.
When you love someone, you can't help but want to do something for the other person and make the other person happy, and you will absolutely not ask for anything in return.
Li Xiang found out that he had been giving so much to Zhang Ling ever since he fell in love with her at first sight.
Zhang Ling clearly remembers Yan Yuan saying that this standard can be used to measure the proportion of true love in a relationship between a man and a woman, and the rest is just lust.
She and Li Xiang haven't reached the stage of lust yet, and they don't intend to get there, but she has clearly felt Li Xiang's passionate and selfless devotion to her.
After the blind date, she took the opportunity to ask Li Xiang to pretend to be her boyfriend. He helped her father with a lot of housework for her, but she mistook him for a thief and beat him mercilessly.
He still remembered the promise of pretending to be his boyfriend. He first helped him solve the company's rumors, and even used some means to get her to the position of vice president of the group in advance.
At the class reunion, it was like a magic weapon descended from the sky, saving her from fire and water, and for her sake, all the classmates who had bullied her got their due retribution in the end.
Today, I even took the initiative to be Xiaodouzi’s father for a day for her. It also made her spend such an unforgettable and beautiful day.
She had indeed felt Li Xiang's love.
But her first love was like a poisonous thorn in her heart, making her afraid to reveal her true feelings easily.
Or maybe the years of waiting for her first love made her as deeply hurt as Chen Jian, and she didn't want to be hurt again.
Or maybe it's because she still misses her first love, looks forward to reconnecting with her first love in the near future, and is unwilling to continue a new relationship.
Theorem 2: Love is a desire to understand.
When you love someone, you will involuntarily want to know everything about the other person, accept everything the other person experiences and feels as the most precious treasure, and carefully protect it.
Zhang Ling probably temporarily denied that Li Xiang was not her true love because of this theorem.
Because she always regarded Li Xiang as her first love, she restrained herself from getting to know Li Xiang further.
In her mind, first love is Li Xiang, and she is very familiar with the information about first love. So she only needs to force everything about first love into Li Xiang.
She doesn't care if anyone accuses her of being selfish.
Because she cares more about enjoying the happiness it brings.
When you have a very intimate relationship with someone of the opposite sex, but you don't have the desire to understand.
Then the relationship between you is just a romantic marriage.
Yan Yuan often likes to use these words to excuse herself after having sex with those boyfriends, saying that those people are not her true love!
Zhang Ling used to sneer at Yan Yuan's game attitude.
Now that I think carefully about my relationship with Li Xiang, it seems that her views on love are very similar to Yan Yuan's.
Of course, saying this may feel contradictory to the previous expression.
No, this is not a contradiction.
Zhang Ling believes that pursuing the perfection of true love is like a general strategic policy, and the game-oriented view of love is like a specific tactic to achieve the general strategic policy.
The two are the difference between purpose and process.
Some people say, if you often hear people around you, often talking nonsense about how they hate something?
Then this person who is said to be annoying will most likely turn into the person he once hated after many years.
Although I don’t know how likely this statement is?
Zhang Ling has indeed clearly felt that her views on love are gradually aligned with Yan Yuan's.
Maybe this is the reason why people who are close to black are black.
Thinking of this, it was already midnight, and she happened to see the moon like a hook in the night sky through the gap in the curtains that was not completely closed.
Perhaps due to physical drowsiness and fatigue after active thinking, the quiet moonlight shone on her cheek, as if her mother's warm hands were caressing her.
Or maybe it was because the warmth allowed her to let go of herself, which aroused her sleepiness, and her eyelids began to fight involuntarily.
She slowly fell asleep in autosuggestion.
I thought that the next time I opened my eyes it would be a brand new day.
There was a rapid ringtone from the cell phone.
She suddenly sat up from the bed and realized that it was still dark and the sound was not an alarm, but a phone call.
Reluctantly, he answered the phone and heard Yan Yuan's furious voice.
"Zhang Ling, it's bad, something big happened. Chen Jian, who had been unconscious in the hospital bed, suddenly disappeared."
The memory of being at Disney during the day flashed through her mind, and Chen Jian clearly called Li Xiang.
Why was Yan Yuan always unconscious here? She thought she had heard wrongly.
"Who's been unconscious?"
Yan Yuan continued to say with certainty: "Who else could it be? Chen Jian! I just got up and came back at night and found that there was no one in the hospital bed."
"Oh, will you go to the toilet like you?" Zhang Ling asked.
"Impossible! I mobilized the doctors and nurses on duty to search all over the inpatient department but couldn't find him. Do you think he might have had another accident?" Yan Yuan's crying words were filled with a sense of panic.
Zhang Ling said: "Yan Yuan, don't panic, have you called and asked Li Xiang? Maybe Chen Jian has contacted him."
"I don't dare!" Yan Yuan continued to explain while sobbing, "You said you asked me to take his friend to the hospital first, and now he lost his friend without proper care. I really don't dare! Zhang Ling, do you want to?
Why don't you ask for me?"
Zhang Ling obviously felt that Yan Yuan regretted this impulse so much that she was worried to the point of being afraid of Li Xiang.
This kind of fear made Zhang Ling feel a little strange!
Because Yan Yuan has always been fearless.
However, listening to Yan Yuan's heart-wrenching crying, she couldn't ask any questions no matter how many doubts she had.
He could only agree to call and ask Li Xiang according to Yan Yuan's request.
After hanging up Yan Yuan's call, she looked at the time on her phone and he immediately regretted it.
1am.
No matter how you think about it, it feels weird to call a man at this time.
She was a little worried that if she really made this call, Li Xiang would think that she was a woman who couldn't stand loneliness!
She found Li Xiang's phone number and just pressed the green dial button.
At this moment, Zhang Ling felt as if her fingers were instantly petrified and unable to move.
At this moment, Li misses home.
He vaguely heard a noise downstairs and thought a bold thief had come to his home.
So he wore a red and blue striped football cap, held a golf club in his hand, and tiptoed downstairs to catch the thief with his own hands.
This thief is really weird!
They don’t directly steal valuable ornaments at home, they don’t directly go to the bedroom to steal gold and silver jewelry, and they don’t look for safes to steal money.
At this time, he was guarding the refrigerator and eating secretly.
Li Xiang could only think that this thief must have been reincarnated as a starving ghost.
When he appeared behind the thief, he saw that the thief was wearing a nightgown and his head was strangely wrapped in gauze.
Needless to say, this costume must be an alternative method of disguise.
Suddenly, I vaguely heard the cell phone ringing in the bedroom upstairs.
As if he was given a call to action, he decisively swung the raised club, and saw that the club immediately reached the back of the target's head.
A familiar and sudden voice stopped the tragedy from happening.
"Li Xiang, your cell phone rang."
Li wanted to use the golf club in his hand as a crutch and stood on one side, and asked in confusion: "Chen Jian?"
Chen Jian, who looked a bit like a mummy, looked back at Li and wanted to say: "Who do you think you are?"
"I thought my home was robbed!" Li Xiang said, taking off the football cap on his head.
Chen Jian pointed to the golf club with surprise in his eyes and said: "So you are planning to use this thing to greet me? Good guy! Li Xiang, Li Xiang, I find that you have become more and more inhumane to the opposite sex since you fell in love.
"
Li Xiang waved his hand and did not respond directly. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "No, didn't you stay well in the hospital and come back like this to scare me?"
Chen Jian's eyes flashed with words that could not be explained, which made Li Xiang feel that something more tragic must have happened.
Chen Jian did not answer Li Xiang's question, but gestured to the cell phone ringing upstairs that had stopped ringing and said:
"I guess the person calling you right now is Zhang Ling. Li, are you sure you don't want to go upstairs and have a look?"
Li Xiang looked at Chen Jian suspiciously, but after hearing the word "Zhang Ling", he couldn't hold himself still and moved towards the stairs involuntarily.
He was thinking in his mind why he looked at Chen Jian with such determination and directly said who was calling him at this time?
Li Xiang made a preliminary judgment that Chen Jian might have done something outrageous again. This incident must have something to do with Zhang Ling.
Thinking of this, he felt uneasy, a little excited and expectant, and walked towards the bedroom faster and faster.
Back in the bedroom, Li Xianggang wanted to check who called, but the phone screen lit up again because of another call.
That's right, it's Zhang Ling's phone number!
Perhaps his heart began to beat violently because of his happiness, and the hand holding the phone shook uncontrollably, habitually trying to tap the green connect button with his thumb.
What's terrible is that at this moment, I don't know whether it's because of the cell phone or because of his disobedient limbs, so it took him almost ten times to get through the call.
"Li Xiang, you finally answered the phone." Zhang Ling's tone sounded anxious.
Li Xiang said with a little excitement: "Ling'er."
"I'm sorry that I called you so late and disturbed your rest. However, there is really nothing I can do about it."
Li Xiang asked with some confusion: "Is something wrong?"
"Yan Yuan called me and said that Chen Jian, who was living in the hospital, disappeared out of thin air. She was crying alone in the hospital."
"Is this happening?" He thought of Chen Jian's mummy-like attire, and seemed to understand the reason.
This guy Chen Jian must have escaped from the hospital without saying goodbye.
This Chen Jian can really cause trouble for him!
He gritted his teeth, held the phone tightly in his hand, and had the urge to rush down and beat Chen Jian up immediately.
"Yan Yuan asked me to ask if Chen Jian has called you again?"
"I haven't contacted you by phone."
Her tone was obviously a little panicked as she said: "It's over, it's over, such a big living person is lost. How about we call the police to find someone."
"Need not!"
"Hey, Li Xiang, that's your best brother. He's just lost like this, why aren't you worried?" She was very angry at Li Xiang's attitude.
Li Xiang hurriedly said: "Ling'er, don't get excited. I don't mean what you think. You should listen to me first."
"explain!"
"Although Chen Jian didn't call me, he is at my house now. Don't worry about that."
"Really! Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He obviously felt a lot more at ease.
"What happened is this. This guy sneaked in in the middle of the night, wrapped his head in a bandage like a mummy, and hid downstairs alone holding the refrigerator and eating. He looked like he hadn't eaten all day. Look.
It’s very heart-wrenching.”
"Is Chen Jian really that miserable? No, when his head was sent to the hospital, I remember that it was not injured!" She listened to Li Xiang's description and asked with some empathy.
"You have to ask Yan Yuan. Do you think your best friend will bully and beat Chen Jian again? That's why Chen Jian escaped from the hospital without saying goodbye."
"This... shouldn't happen." Zhang Ling really didn't have such confidence in Yan Yuan.
Li wanted to say: "No matter what, it's wrong for Chen Jian to leave without saying goodbye. How about I go down and ask about the situation?"
"Okay, let me also ask Yan Yuan what happened in the hospital today? We'll talk about it later." Zhang Ling hurriedly hung up the phone.
"Goodbye!" Li Xiang said awkwardly looking at the phone screen.
I thought this was not an urgent matter.
It’s too fast to hang up the phone!
Li thought that from this point of view, they didn't look like a couple.
Yan Yuan's phone calls have not been answered.
Zhang Ling was a little worried and hurried to the hospital in the middle of the night.
When I saw Yan Yuan sleeping alone on an empty bed in the ward.
Anger suddenly rushed to her forehead, she quickly came to the bed and raised her hand to give Yan Yuan a hard slap.
When I saw Yan Yuan up close, his face was haggard, his hair was messy, and he was uttering a gibberish.
"Li Xiang, please don't break up with Zhang Ling because of me."
Her eyes instantly moistened because of these words, and her raised hand slowly fell down, covering Yan Yuan with the quilt next to her.
She finally understood why Yan Yuan was so afraid of contacting Li Xiang directly because of Chen Jian's disappearance. It turned out that all this was because of her.
Seeing Yan Yuan's white hands again, they were not only a little red and swollen, but also had some obvious scratches, and her heart suddenly burst into endless sadness.
It is indeed not easy for Yan Yuan, who has never taken care of others, to make up for his mistakes for her.
