Jiang Tian's question made Chen Qingxuan's expression even stiffer.
She thought for a moment, then shook her head vigorously: "No, I've already told him."
"He hasn't come back yet. Could something have happened to him outside?" Zhou Xiaoyu asked again.
Chen Qingxuan continued to shake her head: "He told the production team that he was going to stay outside. What is there to worry about for a man like him? Let's just do our own thing."
Her answer caused Zhou Xiaoyu and Jiang Tian to exchange a glance, their eyes sharing the same unspoken understanding, and they both smiled simultaneously.
Their smiles made Chen Qingxuan feel inexplicably awkward: "What's wrong?"
"No, it's just that your icy demeanor just now was completely different from how love-struck you were two weeks ago. I never expected that someone who talks about their husband all the time would be so decisive and efficient in arguing with him today."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingxuan's expression became even more dazed.
For some reason, she burst into tears.
"I know very well that I'm just burying my head in the sand."
“I’ve seen through Cheng Yize very clearly over the years of our marriage, but there’s always a moment when I think he has his reasons. Like many people say, I’m just a clear-headed romantic. I knew he wasn’t a good match, I knew his parents were difficult to deal with, and I knew my parents didn’t approve of our relationship, but I still married him without hesitation and had two children with him. I ruined a great opportunity myself.”
As she spoke, Chen Qingxuan broke down in tears.
It was because of her indulgence that Cheng Yize took her less and less seriously.
When family issues are not mentioned, she and Cheng Yize have a good relationship, but how can a married couple not talk about family problems?
When in a relationship, people naturally hide their flaws and show their best side.
But when it comes to actually living life, things are different.
Chen Qingxuan originally didn't want to discuss so much, but her love for her child and her own powerlessness made her subconsciously want to discuss her daughter's education with her husband.
The result, however, made her realize Cheng Yize's selfish side.
Cheng Yize was really good at acting before. With his parents around, Chen Qingxuan rarely had the chance to have heart-to-heart talks with him. This show provided a good opportunity for the two of them.
Chen Qingxuan originally wanted to have a deeper spiritual exchange with him and try to reach a consensus on family issues, but he stopped pretending and his most selfish side was completely exposed.
At this moment, Chen Qingxuan didn't want to argue anything; she thought she was too incompetent.
Jiang Tian spoke first: "I can't advise you. We're not in your situation, and saying more won't offer much constructive advice. Life is like drinking water; only you know if it's hot or cold. What you need isn't to complain—of course, complaining is your right, a way to vent your emotions. But coming on this show, everyone needs to consider the practical issue of marriage. If you can accept living with your husband, you've definitely achieved self-consistency. In a sense, you've gotten to where you are step by step because of who you are."
Chen Qingxuan was somewhat taken aback. She thought Jiang Tian would advise her, but she didn't expect her to say such a thing.
Zhou Xiaoyu also stood to the side, pursing her lips and remaining silent.
She agreed with Jiang Tian's words.
In fact, Jiang Tian's words not only stung one person's heart, but also struck a chord with her.
She was telling the truth.
Marriage is a personal choice, as is choosing who you marry and what kind of life you lead.
So what can outsiders say?
By appearing on this show, it's obvious that their marriages are in trouble; they can't deny it.
The romance of a few days ago vanished like a bubble, leaving Chen Qingxuan with a stark reality.
If she can't find a self-consistent point, then even after she finishes recording the show and returns to her family, she will still swallow her anger as before.
It's hard for others to understand her predicament.
All they would ask her was—why didn't you run away?
Yes, why not run away?
Is it the bond between the two children, inner weakness, or financial problems?
In short, there are too many real-world entanglements in marriage.
This entanglement makes it difficult for many people to completely sever ties with a messy and unpleasant relationship.
The main source of revenue for this variety show comes from analyzing the performances of the guests.
They don't delve into the actual problems between husband and wife.
But the most practical issues are the key reasons why couples don't divorce.
After many years of marriage, feelings are no longer a major issue.
In many families, even if someone has an affair, they still continue the marriage.
More importantly, there are the entanglements of interests and issues of principle.
For example, gambling debts, or whether one has engaged in promiscuous behavior and contracted infectious diseases.
"Alright, these problems are too heavy for us. Let's watch a movie and have some snacks today, and put all those heavy problems aside. People can be lazy, but they can't suffer all the time. We are not masochists."
Jiang Tian was clearly in charge among the three, but the other two women did not feel slighted at all.
Sometimes they also hope that a very firm and powerful woman will stand on their side.
Even if they do nothing, even if it's just for everyone to have some fun, at least her charisma can influence them.
Everyone sat down, and Jiang Tian chose an art film that all three of them wanted to watch.
They didn't say anything, they just watched a movie quietly.
The sense of tranquility that emanated from my heart made me so reluctant to leave.
How wonderful it would be if we could always immerse ourselves in that beautiful atmosphere and never have to face the thorns of reality.
Seeing the three of them together, many viewers were a little envious. For some reason, just sitting there, watching a movie, eating snacks, and drinking beer, they could make people feel very happy.
After having their fun, the three of them went to sleep.
A storm has swept across the internet.
The audience began to deliberately attack the guests in the observation cabin, who made them very unhappy.
[Is it too easy to make money off the guests in the Observation Hut? They just sit there, give a few pointers, and they can count their cash?]
[Our membership fees shouldn't go to these kinds of people! And what about their traffic? Why should they easily gain fame? If our guests want to make money, they should go and talk to those three couples face-to-face!]
Yes, we strongly urge the production team to give these guests some work to do, instead of just letting them chatter on and on! They can't offer any constructive suggestions, yet they get all the money and all the good things in the world!
[Program team, please speak up!]
