Chapter 480 The confidant in the bathroom (2)

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“What do you think of the movie “Fickle Love”?”

I didn’t know why Wu Lefeng suddenly changed the subject. But fortunately, I had long expected that he would inevitably ask me this question, so I watched the movie seriously earlier: “Very good. It’s funny, and there are also some thought-provoking scenes…”

“Not this,” Wu Lefeng interrupted me without waiting for me to finish, “I want to ask what your understanding of Fickle Love is after watching it?”

“I don’t quite understand your question…”

“Let me ask in another way. Do you think the young white-collar worker is disloyal?”

My answer to this question was yes, but… thinking that after the three girls left him, he recalled the time he spent with those three girls alone and revealed a smile that seemed happy yet gave people infinite sadness, the word “yes” just stuck in my throat, and I couldn’t say anything.

“You are right. Being in love with two women is no excuse for a man to be unfaithful, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t love both women wholeheartedly, right?” Wu Lefeng suddenly changed the topic back to the movie, “Mr. Chu, do you think the ending of Fickle Love is complete? Who do you think was the girl who returned to the young white-collar last? Was it his girlfriend, or the lady from the rich family, or the female imposter?”

Wu Lefeng was a little emotional, speaking faster and faster. It even made me a little nervous inexplicably, “Every audience has a different answer in their hearts. But as a movie, the ending should be very satisfactory…”

“You didn’t answer my question,” Wu Lefeng pressed: “Who do you think she was?”

“I…” I smiled bitterly: “I don’t know.”

Wu Lefeng smiled dubiously, “Do you really not know, or you simply don’t want to know?”

Those words hammered my heart heavily. I couldn’t help looking at him in shock. “I don’t know, and I don’t want to know.” Knowing that I wouldn’t be able to fool him, in the end, I just answered honestly.

Because of that damn ending, I have been feeling tight-chested after watching the movie. No matter which girl returned to the young white-collar worker, it would be an unsatisfactory ending for me, because the young white-collar worker could only stay with one girl. In the end, only one girl would get happiness. As for the young white-collar worker, was such incomplete happiness really something he wanted?

At this moment, I suddenly thought about what Hu Yan said to me, ‘When you rejected one girl because you felt that it was unfair to another girl, wouldn’t it be unfair to you and that girl as well?’I clearly knew that what I wanted was the happiness of four people, but I dared not admit it.

“Me too,” Wu Lefeng nodded and continued, “Not just me, even Mu Rui and Hu Yan also don’t know. What we know better than you is just that, that hand was neither the rich girl’s, the girlfriend’s, nor the imposter’s. That was Avril’s hand.”

“What!?”

“Are you surprised?” Wu Lefeng shook his head and smiled: “Actually none of those who truly understand Fickle Love know it, and they also don’t know whose hand it was. Otherwise, it would not be a comedy, but more like a tragedy. The young white-collar worker’s feelings towards those three girls were sincere, and the three girls’ feelings towards him were also sincere to him. So why couldn’t they be together? So when filming the last scene, Hu Yan temporarily decided to let Avril play it. When I asked him why, do you know how he answered me? He said that he didn’t want to know the answer, nor did he want to find the answer for the young white-collar worker. He did it not to fool the audience, but to fool himself.”

“Is it…?”

Wu Lefeng smiled at me, “It seems to be very profound, isn’t it? In fact, it’s very simple. Everyone knows what the perfect ending for this movie should be. You know it, I know it, and Hu Yan knows it as well. But Hu Yan didn’t dare to direct it. He was afraid that people would criticize him, saying that such a thing would never be accepted in reality. However, it’s undeniable that those who would criticize him would also want this perfect ending. It’s just that some people would refuse to admit it. Since everyone, in reality, wants the perfect ending, then do you know what prevents them from accepting it? It is the people themselves.”

It’s the people themselves? Wu Lefeng’s words were too absurd, but I didn’t know how to refute them. His words seemed to penetrate a thick dark cloud that shrouded my mind. I seemed to have a sense of clarity, but I didn’t know what I understood.

“Did you hear Mu Rui’s words when you were in the cinema? Tong Feifei likes me… But I think her feeling towards is not like, but a kind of distorted admiration. She said that she joined the entertainment industry just so that she would be able to act in the same movie with me. It was a coincidence that she was recruited by Mu Rui’s film company. Mu Rui treated her like her own little sister, taking care of her as much as possible. She didn’t even hide our relationship from her…”

Wu Lefeng sighed and continued with a smile. However, although he was smiling, his smile was terrifying. Behind his smile, I could clearly sense the uncontrollable anger and annoyance, “But Tong Feifei betrayed Mu Rui! Knowing that I already have a family and Mu Rui, she still refused to give up and kept harassing me. After I rejected her, she became even more aggressive. She got the role of the female lead in Fickle Love by shameless means and used Mu Rui’s relationship with me to threaten me to act in the same movie with her. I thought she just wanted to use the filming to increase the chances of getting closer to me, but I didn’t expect that she was much more complicated than I thought. On the one hand, she kept getting close to me in front of Mu Rui, and on the other hand, she deliberately spread the information about my relationship with Yi Ting and Mu Rui and Rui Rui. She deliberately created public opinion, forcing me to deny the relationship with Mu Rui under the pressure of the media. She’s such a… such a… sigh. Forget it, there is no point in saying it. She is young, but her scheming ability is not something you can imagine…”

It turned out that this was the reason why Wu Lefeng worked with Hu Yan.

Then I heard Wu Lefeng continue to say: “Why do you think I am being threatened by her? And why do you think that I would tolerate her again and again? It is all because of myself. Because I can’t get rid of the constraints of society. Yes, I have been living together with Yi Ting and Mu Rui, and this is a matter between the three of us. We should not care about what others would think and say. I know this clearly, but my actions are not always under my own control. Why? Why can’t I break free from the restraint of society? I always asked myself this question, but I could never get an answer. So when you told everyone that you have two girlfriends, I was shocked. I admire you and envy you. I want to know why you have such courage?”

Because one of my two girlfriends is fake… This was the truth, but I couldn’t tell him this now.

Wu Lefeng shook his head again, with a little disappointment in his eyes, “But my judgment seems to be wrong, Mr. Chu, you haven’t completely freed yourself from the restraints of society. It is true that you dare to say and do it, but I always feel that you are also confused in your heart. You are not as free as I thought…”

I smiled bitterly: “There are rules of society that we must follow, who can completely break free from them? But…” I stopped smiling and said with a serious face: “Your words made me suddenly understand one thing: it seems that the question without answers is just us refusing to face up to the answer, and the answer that we are not willing to face up to is just our own true thoughts. You are right. Not only is it not profound, but it is the simplest truth. The so-called courage is to face our true self.”

“Face… our true self…” Wu Lefeng repeated my words in a low voice. Then he suddenly laughed, patted me on the shoulder, and said: “Mr Chu, you are right. It is actually very simple. We just made it complicated. Haha, this is great, really great. Earlier on, I was not afraid that you knew my secret because I wanted you to tell everyone about it. After all, I’m really tired of hiding it. But now, I don’t want you to do that anymore. However, it is not that I’m scared of you exposing my secrets. I just don’t want to lose the opportunity to make friends with you. Haha, Mr. Chu, you are very young, but you understand some things much more clearly than me. More importantly, we have a lot of things in common. It’s really great to be able to meet you!”

I didn’t understand why he was excited, but I understood what he said. .. He didn’t want me to expose his secrets now because he didn’t want to lose the opportunity to make friends with me. In other words, it meant that originally, he wanted me to expose his secrets so he could shift his hatred towards me…

“Mr. Chu, do you know what my understanding of ‘Fickle Love’ is?” Wu Lefeng returned to the original question.

I rubbed the sore shoulder that was patted by him, and smiled reluctantly: “I don’t know….”

Wu Lefeng smiled and said, “Love is always fickle, but fickle love is also loyal.”

“Love is always fickle, but fickle love is also loyal.” Hearing this, I felt like a huge wave suddenly surged in my heart, and the thick dark clouds that shrouded my mind dispersed instantly.
