Chapter 42 Obsession
The north wind was howling, and snowflakes were falling from the sky, covering the earth in no time.
Wang Xiurong brought two large bundles of dry firewood and burned the earthen kang for two hours. After closing the door, the room became as warm as spring.
Li Feng retreated to another bedroom early.
Lin Menghan and the other two chatted for a while before turning off the lights.
Night came on gloomily.
Lin Menghan tossed and turned, her old illness coming back again.
In the hazy dream, the handsome Li Feng, wearing a Chinese-style formal suit, was slowly walking towards a woman who was wearing a red veil and a phoenix coronet.
"My wife—"
The red veil was slowly lifted up.
Lin Menghan looked intently, and a very beautiful face appeared in her eyes.
"Why isn't it me?!"
Lin Menghan felt a pain in her heart and woke up in shock.
Only then did she realize that the room was warm and she had unknowingly broken out in a sweat.
Once I woke up, I couldn’t fall asleep again.
She lay quietly on the bed, looking at the beams, recalling the dream again and again, feeling waves of pain in her heart, as if something extremely precious was lost forever.
Can't!
no!
I, Lin Menghan, have never failed!
She looked around quietly and saw that Wang Xiurong and Lu Chunlan were both sleeping soundly.
So she found her coat, wrapped it around her, and tiptoed to Li Feng's room.
In the room, Li Feng was wrapped in a quilt and sleeping soundly.
Lin Menghan stood in front of the bed, looking at him quietly. The pain in her heart disappeared unknowingly, and was replaced by a deep warmth.
It turns out that this is love.
It turns out that I, Lin Menghan, like men.
It turns out that I really like Li Feng.
Li Feng suddenly felt something and opened his eyes. Seeing Lin Menghan standing at the head of the bed, he was startled and said, "You, what are you doing here?!"
Lin Menghan threw her coat aside, revealing her graceful figure, and said, "Li Feng, I like you."
Li Feng wrapped himself in a blanket, looked at Lin Menghan, and said, "Are you crazy? I have a girlfriend."
"I'm not crazy, Lin Menghan is not crazy. I found that I just like you, and I want to get you!" As she said that, Lin Menghan actually raised her foot, slowly climbed onto the bed, and moved towards Li Feng.
Just like when she was a child, once she wanted to get something, she would take the initiative and fight for it with all her strength, without mercy or hesitation.
"You, Lin Menghan, please calm down, calm down,"
Li Feng felt a headache as he looked at the somewhat bewildered Lin Menghan. He reminded her, "Please think clearly. You and I are just ordinary friends. My girlfriend is Zhao Xinyue. You two are best friends, right? Do you understand?"
"Li Feng, you are mine. I want you, and no one can take you away from me!" Lin Menghan murmured, and pounced on Li Feng.
Li Feng reached out to stop her, but he didn't know where to start. While he was hesitating, Lin Menghan actually pulled open Li Feng's quilt and pressed her whole body against Li Feng, pinning him down.
"Lin Menghan!" Li Feng said coldly in a low voice, "Please show some respect!"
"I love you, I want to have you, is that wrong?"
Lin Menghan looked at Li Feng under her, and her hands seemed to have generated infinite strength, and she wrapped Li Feng tightly around her like an octopus.
When their skin touched, Li Feng suddenly had a reaction.
Lin Menghan's eyes lit up and she was about to take further action.
Li Feng pulled the window with his backhand and it opened suddenly.
A cold wind blew into the house, blowing away all the spring scenery in the room.
"Reporter Lin, please calm down."
Li Feng pushed Lin Menghan into the corner with a cold face, picked up her coat and threw it to her.
Lin Menghan held her coat and looked at Li Feng with a stern face. She felt that the distance between them was getting farther and farther, as if they had never met before.
Her heart ached, and she murmured to herself, "Li Feng, could it be that I don't like beauty?"
Li Feng jumped out of bed and stood at the door, looking at her from afar and said, "Reporter Lin, you are very beautiful and a very kind person. It's a pity that you and I are not destined to be together."
"If we're not meant to be, then why did you treat me like that? You made bets with me, you stole my first kiss, you taught me how to trade stocks... Why? Why did you do all that and then not take responsibility?"
After saying that, Lin Menghan picked up the pillow beside her and threw it towards Li Feng.
Li Feng was stunned and couldn't help asking: "You, you are not that thing?"
"You, you are shameless!" Lin Menghan became even angrier after hearing this. She wrapped herself in clothes and returned to the room.
At this time, the snow had stopped, and a crescent moon hung in the sky. The moonlight was like water, shining through the window and falling on Lin Menghan's tear-stained cheeks.
She turned her head and looked at the room where Li Feng was, and felt as if there were thousands of mountains and rivers between them.
I won't give up.
I will not fail.
I, Lin Menghan, have never failed!
Lin Menghan wiped away her tears, and a determined light shone in her eyes.
The night passed quickly.
The next day, Lin Menghan acted as if nothing had happened, smiling sweetly as she helped Wang Xiurong cook and wash dishes.
Seeing Li Feng about to go out, he followed him and said, "It snowed yesterday, and the roads are not easy to walk on. I'll drive you to visit."
Wang Xiurong listened and praised:
"Yes, it's a good thing Menghan is here, otherwise how could you visit? Wangzhuang and Lizhuang are about thirty to fifty miles away from our home. You should go quickly, the sooner you go, the sooner you can come back. Well, we'll have dumplings for lunch."
Li Feng looked at Lin Menghan carefully and found nothing unusual on her face.
As they were about to leave, Li Feng asked seriously, "Reporter Lin, do you still remember what happened last night?"
"Last night?" Lin Menghan asked in surprise. "What happened last night? Even though it snowed last night, the house was very warm and I broke out in a sweat."
"Also, what's your attitude? You're calling me Reporter Lin again. Please call me Menghan."
"Hmm?" Li Feng frowned and thought to himself, "Could it be...she was sleepwalking last night?"
I heard that sleepwalkers act just like normal people while they are sleepwalking, but when they wake up the next day, they can't remember anything.
“Get in the car!”
Lin Menghan said coldly.
Li Feng hesitated for a moment and sat in the passenger seat.
The two of them drove through seven or eight surrounding villages. Li Feng, carrying white wine, visited each of them and expressed his gratitude.
Lin Menghan leaned against the car door, looking at Li Feng's determined back, and was unconsciously immersed in it again.
As she watched, her expression became more resolute.
They were busy until noon before returning home.
Wang Xiurong let the two into the house and started to cook dumplings. Naturally, there was some greetings. It was not until after three o'clock in the afternoon that Lin Menghan reluctantly returned to City B.
A few days passed in a flash.
Amid the eager anticipation of investors, the stock market opened after the New Year.
Unfortunately, it was not the hoped-for surge, but an unexpected plunge.
On February 18, 2013, the first day of the new year, the Shanghai Composite Index closed with a drop of 0.45%. On the second day, it plummeted 1.6%. After a slight rebound of 0.6%, it experienced another large-scale plunge of 2.97% on the fourth day!
The heavyweight stocks of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, such as banks, insurance, steel, and nonferrous metals, suffered heavy losses, especially Minsheng Bank, which had the best performance in this wave of market. It plummeted for several days, directly falling from 5.39 yuan to 4.42 yuan, a drop of more than 20%!
Li Feng stared at the K-line on the computer and fell into deep thought unconsciously.
Next to him, Zhao Xinyue made a cup of tea and placed it quietly beside him.
“Dang, dang—”
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
