- 96: The Reluctant Rival December 9, 1989. Whit's grandchildren, Monty and Jenny, arrive in Odyssey for Christmas. An orchestra leader discovers Jenny's exceptional musical ability, which leads to Jenny's rivalry with another musician.
Shen mange exclaimed, and his body was held by Ye Nanxian.
When the two bodies touch each other, a long lost feeling attacks each other again, which actually makes them have a short-term stupor.
Ye Nanxian's wound is actually painful, but at this moment, he feels that it doesn't matter again.
The plane is still bumpy, Song Tao in front of him said in a hurry.
'Mr. Ye, I met the airflow. The plane is bumpy. You...'
Before he finished his words, he turned his head and saw Ye Nanxian and Shen mange holding each other together. He quickly closed his mouth and continued to be mute. However, Shen mange and ye Nanxian quickly let go of each other.
Naturally, ye Nanxian was reluctant to part with him. What's more, after five years as a monk, the man he is holding is his wife, but he can't do anything and dare not to do anything.
Shen mange felt embarrassed, so she sat down and tied her seat belt.
If you hadn't come up and treated Ye Nanxian's wound, and you would not have forgotten about the seat belt, it would have been a bit embarrassing to have such an embarrassing thing happen.
The two men had nothing to say for a moment.
The atmosphere is somewhat awkward. Naturally, Song Tao is not good at saying anything at this time.
The plane took more than an hour to get to Haicheng.
When landing in Haicheng, we can see that Shen mange is worried and excited.
Ye Nanxian put on his coat and hid his injury. In recent years, although Ye's family has made no difference in Haicheng, it also makes some people envious, and there are many enemies. If ye Nanxian is in poor health, it is estimated that many people would like to take the opportunity to kill him.
After all, ye Nanxian is dead, and the Ye family will arrive, and those enterprises will be divided up by other families.
The reality is always so cruel.
Ye Nanxian passes on his coat, and Shen mange can't wait to get off the plane.
The weather outside is a bit overcast, plain and makes people feel uncomfortable and depressed.
After getting off the plane, ye Nanxian held Shen mange's hand tightly and said in a low voice, 'don't be nervous. Everything has me.'
Shen mange wants to take back her hand, but ye Nanxian holds it too tightly, so she can only let him.
Song Tao has already arranged for the car to stare at them.
After getting off the plane, ye Nanxian and Shen mange get on the car directly and drive quickly towards the Shen family.
96: The Reluctant Rival Series
This road, Shen mange has not been back for eight years.When she was just married to the Ye family, Shen mange tried to go back to ease the relationship with her parents, but her father beat her out, and her mother turned a blind eye to it. What's more, she almost died because she made her mother seriously ill when she went back. After which time, Shen mange did not dare to go back.
Every time she took advantage of her mother's shopping or walking around the corner, she secretly looked at her, and even secretly bought something on the back of everyone, so that the servants could give them to their parents in various names. But later, her parents found out that she had bought everything and threatened not to have her daughter.
Shen mange secretly shed tears for countless times, but he can't help it. She couldn't change her parents' stubbornness. At that time, she didn't dare to bother Ye Nanxian and ask him to help ease the relationship.
Later, when she learned that she was pregnant, she was happy to go back and tell her mother that she hoped to let her parents accept her through the child in her belly. Unexpectedly, she was buried in the sea of fire before she could say all this. The difference was another five years.
As time went by, eight years later, she did not know whether her parents had more white hair on her temples, and whether her parents had any major problems.
Shen mange's thoughts are all on her parents. Looking at this familiar street, she can't help but feel some moist in the corners of her eyes.
Ye Nanxian looked at her sad look and stretched out his arm around her shoulder.
Shen mange struggled, but he couldn't get rid of it. Just when he was about to get angry, he heard Ye Nanxian say, 'I'm sorry, you were wronged. After three years of marriage, I was only busy with my work. I never thought about your desire for your parents, and I didn't accompany you back to seek your parents' forgiveness in time. It was my dereliction of duty to be my husband. '
Originally, Shen mange didn't want to hear ye Nanxian say these things. She also felt that she had bought those grievances. Who made her fall in love with this man?
She really gave everything for this man.
But after so many years, when she heard Ye Nanxian say these words, Shen mange's nose was sour, and her tears could not help falling down.
'Dear, don't cry. It's all my fault. If you feel aggrieved, beat me and scold me, just don't cry. Your tears pierce my heart more than a knife. '
Ye Nanxian coaxes Shen man song in a low voice.
Song Tao feels his eyes are almost blind,
he has been with Ye Nanxian for so many years. When has he ever seen Ye Nanxian treat any woman so gently? What's more, these words are really what ye Nanxian said?
Song Tao can't believe it.Shen mange seems to be really aggrieved to the extreme. When he heard Ye Nanxian say this, he was not affectated. He did not intend to be a ninja himself. He bit Ye Nanxian's shoulder directly with a mouth.
'Hiss --'
SHEN mange's mouth is not light. Even if ye Nanxian is ready for psychological preparation, he still can't help but cry out, and his subconscious body muscles are tense. However, he soon realized that Shen mange's teeth had not been loosened. His thick skin and thick flesh should have touched Shen mange's teeth.
Thinking of this, ye Nanxian relaxed his body and let Shen man Ge bite himself.
Shen mange's grievances over the past few years seem to want to be expressed by this one mouthful. The next one is merciless. After a while, she has a faint smell of blood in her mouth. Her tears are salty and salty, and she can't tell her bitter taste.
Ye Nanxian used to spoil her like this.
Although Shen mange doesn't want to admit it, she has to admit that after coming back this time, ye Nanxian has changed. She doesn't know her heart any more and she can't control her heart.
She let go of the string and pushed it away.
Ye Nanxian wants to wipe her tears, but Shen mange pushes her away again.
'Don't touch me!'
This sentence obviously with a trace of rejection, there is no vent of anger, do not know what she is angry.
Ye Nanxian sighed, but still forced her into the arms, can not help but wipe her tears, whispered: 'you cry to see your parents, although they can not recognize you now, but you really want to see them in such a posture?'
This sentence calms Shen mange.
She thought about seeing her parents again many times, but she didn't know whether she should tell them that she was their daughter. Now, with her home in front of her eyes, she was a little afraid of her hometown.
'How have they been these years?'
Shen mange didn't intend to ask Ye Nanxian, but subconsciously he did.
Ye Nanxian said in a soft voice, 'no, not bad. You had an accident five years ago. They almost followed, but fortunately they survived. But it's a lot of relief for the past. If you tell them you're alive now, maybe they'll be happy to accept you
Shen mange did not dare to be so optimistic.
She knows what kind of parents are. Now, especially if she wants to go back to the United States, it is not suitable for her parents to know what she wants to do now. Otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee that her parents will blame her again.
After all, in the eyes of parents, everyone's life is precious.
Shen mange doesn't speak any more, so she is worried.
96: The Reluctant Rival Spy
Ye Nanxian always feels that Shen mange has hidden a lot of worries when she comes back this time. However, she doesn't say anything, and she can't find out anything.
After all, he wanted to say nothing but sigh.
When the car reaches the front door of the Shen family, Shen mange's eyes are wet again.
This is the place where she grew up, where she has lived for more than 20 years. She was once the apple of her parents' eyes, but now she is like this.
It is said that the body of the body by the parents, she is now standing in front of her parents, which courage does she really have?
Shen mange suddenly became timid.
She tightly grasped the handrail of the car, which turned white and even slightly trembled. Her eyes blinked at the direction of the gate, but her feet seemed to be filled with lead and could not move at all.
Ye Nanxian naturally understood her feeling of being near home.
He held Shen mange's hand tightly.
The warm body temperature makes Shen man Ge slightly revived.
Her eyes were confused, timid, excited, and indescribable complexity.
Ye Nanxian's heart is tight.
He took Shen mange in his arms and said in a low voice, 'remember, you are my secretary, Catherine. You are just Shen mange's good friend. You come to visit them as good friends. Only when you tell yourself that, can you make yourself less nervous. I don't know why you don't want to recognize them now, but since you decide to do so, I'll help you
Shen mange's psychology is more complicated.
On the contrary, smart people are not afraid of Nanxian people. He saw at a glance that he didn't want to admit his identity, but he didn't investigate or ask, and gave her warmth and support that she never had before.
Shen mange didn't know how to respond, so she got out of the car with Ye Nanxian stiffly and walked towards the Shen family with some uneasy steps.
The driver of the Shen family is still uncle Zhou. Now he is not young, but his father still hasn't replaced him. It shows how nostalgic he is.
Shen man Ge looks at Uncle Zhou carrying his parents' luggage, but his body is not as good as before, more or less slow.
Looking at his rickety body, Shen mange's eyes are red.She wanted to call uncle Zhou, but something choked her throat and couldn't make a single note.
Ye Nanxian holds her hand tightly, which makes Shen man Ge regain her sense of meaning temporarily.
She can't recognize it now!
She can't say anything!
She is so depressed that she can only follow Ye Nanxian step by step towards the Shen family, and a couple coming across the way instantly turn Shen mange's eyes red.

96: The Reluctant Rival Movie
Soldier in the Rain is a 1963 American comedy buddy film directed by Ralph Nelson and starring Jackie Gleason and Steve McQueen. Tuesday Weld portrays Gleason's character's romantic partner.
Produced by Martin Jurow and co-written by Maurice Richlin and Blake Edwards, the screenplay is based upon a 1960 novel by William Goldman and concerns the friendship between an Army master sergeant (Gleason) and a young country bumpkin buck sergeant (McQueen). The music is by Henry Mancini.
The film was released five days after President John F. Kennedy's assassination, which hindered its box office take.
Plot[edit]
Sergeant Eustis Clay (Steve McQueen) cannot wait to finish his peacetime service and move on to bigger, better things. He is a personal favorite of Master Sergeant Maxwell Slaughter (Jackie Gleason), a career soldier who is considerably brighter than Eustis, but enjoys his company and loyalty.Slaughter is a totally institutionalized lifer, wired into all the perks, back channels, and supply sources an army base can provide filtering through his near autonomous cabin hub.
Eustis is involved in a number of schemes and scams, including one in which he will sell tickets to see an equally dim private named Meltzer (Tony Bill) run a three-minute mile. He inconveniences Slaughter more than once, including a traffic mishap that requires him being bailed out of jail.
Determined to tempt Slaughter with the joys of civilian life before his hitch is up, Eustis fixes him up on a date with the much younger, not-too-bright Bobby Jo Pepperdine (Tuesday Weld). At first, Slaughter is offended, but gradually he sees another side of Bobby Jo, including a mutual fondness for crossword puzzles. Eustis and Slaughter golf together and begin to enjoy the good life.
One night, Eustis is devastated to learn of the death of Donald, his dog. A pair of hated rivals use their status as military policemen to lure Eustis into a barroom brawl. He is beaten two-against-one and is nearly defeated when Slaughter angrily comes to his rescue. Together they win the fight, but the middle-aged, overweight Slaughter collapses from the effort.

Hospitalized, Slaughter delights Eustis by suggesting that they leave the Army together and go live on a tropical isle, surrounded by blue seas and beautiful girls. Slaughter dies, however, and Eustis, a changed man, re-enlists in the Army.

Novel[edit]
| Author | William Goldman |

| Country | United States |
| Language | English |
| Publisher | Atheneum |
| 14 July 1960 |
William Goldman based the novel on his experience of being in the US Army from 1952 to 1954, setting it at the fictional 'Southern' Army post, Camp Scott, in the spring and summer of 1953. He says he was stuck during the writing, and gave it to his then-roommate John Kander to read and it was Kander who suggested the girl character, who is only 14 years old at her first appearance, be made into a major figure. This helped Goldman finish the rest of the book.[1]
Goldman says the publisher put pressure on him to change the ending:
It was one of the first three books of the firm, and they said 'We can't publish this ending. It's a downer. We guarantee you the book won't sell. Will you change it? I said, 'I will absolutely change it, and I will give it a very happy ending, if you can guarantee me the book will sell.' They said, 'Obviously, we can't guarantee that,' and I said, 'Obviously, I can't change the ending.'[2]
Goldman says the character of Clay 'was sympathetic for me. There was a sergeant who was a villain, but I thought Clay was just a nice affable stoop. I'd been in the army. A lot of this stuff is also, as I look back on it, autobiographical.'[3]
The novel received mixed reviews.[4]
Although Goldman went on to become a noted screenwriter, he was not involved in the adaptation.
'They made changes', said Goldman of the film. 'No one says 'Oh, we are going to fuck up Bill Goldman's book.' Most of this stuff I didn't pay any attention to. I don't know that I've ever seen Soldier in the Rain. I must have because I like Tuesday Weld but as a rule I don't look at movies I'm involved with and I don't read books that I've written. One does the best one can and that's it.'[5]
Reception[edit]
In 2011, film critic Craig Butler wrote about the film's theme,
96: The Reluctant Rivals
An absorbing film that deserves to be much better known, Soldier in the Rain is a sometimes uneasy blend of comedy and drama that doesn't always quite come off, but has so much going for it that one is glad to overlook its flaws. A buddy picture set in the peacetime Army, Soldier is concerned with how a strong friendship can develop between two people of differing personalities and aims. Jackie Gleason and Steve McQueen are different types, and the fact that they have such a strong bond may at first seem unlikely, but as the film progresses it somehow seems natural and inevitable. Blake Edwards and Martin Richlin have done an excellent job of adapting William Goldman's novel, and together with director Ralph Nelson have opted to emphasize the character aspects of the material over the plot.[6]
