Chapter 11 Love and Sex
Of course, she is one of the main female characters in this book, named Zhang Wanyi's eldest daughter.
Although she was born into an old-style big family and was educated on women's morality since she was a child, she was fortunate to go to a new-style high school and university, and received a new education. In this process, she fell in love with the vernacular modern poetry that is gradually popular now.
Xu Shizhe is quite talented in creating modern poetry. His poems have fresh words and sentences, harmonious rhythms, novel metaphors, rich imagination, beautiful artistic conception, elegant thoughts, and changeable. He also pursues the order and beauty of art forms, and has a distinct artistic personality. He can even be regarded as a leader in a genre in modern poetry.
So it is natural that he was admired by the eldest lady Zhang Wanyi.
The romantic Xu Shizhe never refuses female fans to throw themselves into the arms, and he even takes the initiative to flirt with female fans. Anyway, what he loves is their moving bodies. For him, having sex may be like eating and drinking water, an indispensable thing in life.
Xu Shizhe never thought that he would fall in love with Zhang Wanyi, the eldest lady who was first admired and later became extremely attached to him. Perhaps because Zhang Wanyi's love for him was like a moth flying into a fire, he even regretted the engagement he had made since childhood, and became a joke for the entire family, breaking with the family without leaving any way out...
This reminded Xu Shizhe of his first love. Her and Zhang Wanyi's approach was simply two extremes. She easily accepted the arrangements at home, and at the same time, she chose an honest man who she could completely control.
Xu Shizhe was obviously moved by Zhang Wanyi's romantic determination, so his love for her also violated the principles he had formulated and even married her.
The novel is written here, as if it is instilling the concept of free love in readers. It seems that lovers really get married, because Xu Shizhe really fell in love with Zhang Wanyi, who gave up everything for him, and Zhang Wanyi loved him like this, and the two even entered the palace of marriage together. Even in this marriage, they did not receive support from the two families at all.
But isn’t it enough for the two married people to be happy?
In fact, no matter which era it is, marriage seems to be never a matter between two people, but between two families. A marriage that does not receive blessings from family members will eventually have some flaws. Or, many years later, the passion of love fades, and both parties will regret it.
When Wang Defu wrote such a happy and fulfilling free love plot, his writing was also romantic, beautiful and warm, just like the writing strokes of "Farewell to Cambridge". The decisive young lady who left home and the prodigal poet who turned back together wrote a song of love that heals people's hearts. The H paragraph between them also became an indispensable existence that further pushed the beautiful and romantic atmosphere of the article to a climax!
Wang Defu can say with confidence that he wrote H not just to write H, but to make the article fuller and emotional, just as if the love is deep and natural, which seems to minimize the kitsch of the article.
If the novel is finished here, then no matter how romantic and beautiful the writing is, no matter how sweet the plot is, its depth will never rise, and it will not shock the readers. Therefore, the following plot will of course start to take a sharp turn!
Xu Shizhe's initial character was the kind of person who could completely separate the spirit and flesh. So even though he had true love for Zhang Wanyi and even married her, he still did not give up his attitude towards sex, that is, he still needed to have sex with different women, just like he had to eat every day.
He believes that having sex with a woman and sleeping with a woman are two completely different or even almost opposite feelings. Love is not reflected by the desire to make love (this can be the desire for countless women), but by the desire to sleep with her (this can only be the desire for a woman).
He is willing to sleep with Zhang Wanyi, and he cannot give up having sex with other women. He feels that he doesn't love those women anyway and does not take those women home. Why can't he do this?
From the perspective of ordinary people, this is a sophistry theory of scumbags, but when a scumbag does this, at least he will feel guilty and feel guilty, but Xu Shizhe will not feel guilty. He has not changed his mind to Zhang Wanyi. He really falls in love with someone else, just applauding other women physically. What's the big deal?
Xu Shizhe, who did not hide his behavior, obviously made the eldest lady Zhang Wanyi, who loved him wholeheartedly and gave up everything for him, suffered serious injuries after discovering that he did not change his romantic behavior at all.
The romantic and warm writing style before became gloomy and heavy. Zhang Wanyi obviously couldn't be separated from her spirit like Xu Shizhe. Although her behavior was bold and rebellious to the extreme, she was conservative in her bones. She felt that she loved someone deeply, so she could only sleep with him alone. How could she love him spiritually and applaud others physically?
Perhaps this is the fundamental difference between women and men when dealing with feelings. When men cheat physically, they often have no mental fluctuations. When women cheat physically, their spirit has a high possibility that they have fallen in love with others.
Zhang Wanyi, who was hurt by Xu Shizhe's behavior, often woke up in extremely uneasy nightmare and could no longer trust Xu Shizhe. Even if he said that his spiritual love for her will never change and he will never fall in love with any woman, he must have sex with them, just as it is not possible for people not to eat. If he does not have sex with them, he will never be able to feel relaxed.
This has become a knot that cannot be untied between the two. Maybe this is the disagreement of the three views.
Among Xu Shizhe's many "sex partners", there is a stunning actress named "Lu Yingmeng". She is the object of Zhang Wanyi's most jealousy. Zhang Wanyi discovered that Xu Shizhe "cheating" was also because she read the letters between Lu Yingmeng and Xu Shizhe, and the two even staged a living erotic palace in front of Zhang Wanyi. Of course, Zhang Wanyi peeked at her husband and mistress...
Lu Yingmeng is a very special female character. She constantly chooses to betray her life and chooses to make her life light and liberal. She hates loyalty and any kitsch that pleases the public, but such betrayal makes her feel that her life exists in nothingness.
If the "love" between Xu Shizhe and Zhang Wanyi reflects the "love" in the book title "Love and Sex", then the pure "sex" between him and actress Lu Yingmeng.
