Chapter 272: I Don't Know What Tomorrow Will Look Like
Su Yifan and Yu Zheng were idling on the side of the road, suffering from mosquito bites. Cheng Shuixin was lying on the armrest of the seat and looking out of the car window, the brightly lit world hides a lot of secrets, and it also makes people want to hide many of their emotions inside.
Yang Bingbing looked up at the rearview mirror, and Cheng Shuixin's expression was unprecedentedly melancholy, which made her feel a little curious.
"What's wrong with you?"
Cheng Shuixin supported her face with one hand, shook her head slightly and replied, "It's not much, I just feel a little tired." β
"It's not like you." Yang Bingbing felt that she still knew Cheng Shuixin, "You usually have a lot of work than today, and it's not like this." β
Cheng Shuixin looked at Zhang Yao, who was already asleep, and gently patted the little junior sister's arm with her hand and said, "You're right, you still have something in your heart." β
Yang Bingbing didn't ask Cheng Shuixin to say it, so she turned around and looked at her quietly.
Cheng Shuixin was a little unbearable by Yang Bingbing's gaze, and waved her hand: "Oh, it's nothing more than those things that spray me anonymously, it's nothing." β
Of course, Yang Bingbing remembered the comments that Cheng Shuixin showed herself that day, and subconsciously asked, "Appeared again?" β
"Every day." Cheng Shuixin is actually not bothered by this, she doesn't want her troubles to be clearly felt by Yang Bingbing, so she can only choose another topic that makes her slightly annoyed, "At first glance, I have put a lot of effort into it, and the proxy IP is different every time, and it is very troublesome to track down." β
"Let's ask Su Yifan for help." Yang Bingbing suggested, "He should be able to have a good way." β
Cheng Shuixin glanced at Su Yifan outside the car window, shook his head and said, "Forget it...... He's annoying enough, don't bother him. β
Yang Bingbing seriously insisted on his opinion: "I think this kind of thing is the most reliable to find him." β
Of course, Cheng Shuixin knows that finding Su Yifan is the most reliable, and it can also minimize the impact of the whole thing and make it easier to protect herself. But since she said that to Su Yifan yesterday, she is really not in the mood to have another thing that annoys Su Yifan.
"Actually, Su Yifan already knows the way." Regarding Yang Bingbing, Cheng Shuixin is still willing to explain, "He said that he wanted to help me solve it, I don't think there is really any need for him to toss this kind of thing with him." β
Yang Bingbing also remembered Su Yifan's special face that day, and smiled: "Okay, your own opinion is the most important." β
Cheng Shuixin had already sat up straight, which was completely different from the lazy and even melancholy just now.
"Don't worry, I'll say if there's a problem."
As soon as Su Yifan, who had finished talking with Yu Zheng, got into the car, Yang Bingbing directly issued an order to the young man in the passenger seat: "I'll send Zhang Yao, and today you send Cheng Shuixin home." β
Su Yifan just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yang Bingbing with a stern look.
"No problem." Su Yifan decided to obediently obey the leader's arrangement, Yang Bingbing would not be anxious with herself under normal circumstances, and no one would take her if she was really anxious.
No one else has any objection to Yang Bingbing's arrangement, after all, it is the female driver who is really the most tired today. The more than six-hour drive back and forth is not a joke, if it weren't for Su Yifan's business, Yang Bingbing wouldn't have to work so hard to wronged himself.
After kicking Cheng Shuixin and Su Yifan out of the car, Yang Bingbing looked back and made a gentle and slightly weird smile at Cheng Shuixin, and drove away with Zhang Yao.
Su Yifan stood on the side of the road, watched the car go away, and smiled bitterly at Cheng Shuixin who was standing beside him: "It seems that we have been abandoned." β
Cheng Shuixin smiled and said, "Then take a walk?" β
Of course, Su Yifan couldn't ask for this kind of thing, he was actually worried about Cheng Shuixin's attitude all day today, and when he heard Cheng Shuixin talking to him like this, his mood finally became much better than before.
It's not the first time the two have walked the streets side by side, and they're all familiar with everything around them. It's nearly 10 o'clock at night, and the traffic is much less than during the rush hour, with only a street lamp stretching into the distance as far as the eye can see. The pedestrians who walked with their heads down did not squint, and everyone seemed to be able to hide their emotions in the darkness and quietly spy on everything around them.
After walking not far, Cheng Shuixin suddenly said: "I used to think that Yang Bingbing didn't care about these things, but now it seems that she doesn't care, it's just that it doesn't involve her life, and she doesn't bother to pay attention to it." β
Su Yifan understood what Cheng Shuixin was talking about, Yang Bingbing must have seen that something was wrong between himself and Cheng Shuixin today, and wanted to leave a separate space for himself and Cheng Shuixin to solve the problem.
Cheng Shuixin didn't care whether Su Yifan responded to her or not, and continued: "I have asked myself before, if I have the conditions like her, can I do better than her, and now it seems that this question has been answered." β
"There are some things I can never do better than her."
After a pause, Cheng Shuixin turned her head to look at Su Yifan, who had been silent, and smiled again.
"It's weird, I'm still messing with you today, why do I have to tell you these words, right? But if you think about it, there are so many things that I can only say to you. β
Su Yifan knew in his heart, as Su Xiaoqing said, the current Cheng Shuixin's heart is full of all kinds of contradictory feelings, and the accumulation of these moods makes such a seemingly mature girl finally fall into the clichΓ© of hesitation.
"Accompany me for a cup of coffee?" Cheng Shuixin's depression was only for a minute, and then she returned to her energetic self, "I haven't been there for a long time." β
Su Yifan nodded: "Okay." β
I don't know what time the coffee shop without a faΓ§ade in Ludao is open until now, anyway, when the two of them go, there are still a lot of people in the whole store. Many couples whisper in semi-private spaces made up of book frames, while seemingly successful middle-aged and charming women sit in public places and gossip.
After showing their membership cards, Su Yifan and Cheng Shuixin chose a secluded corner, just like they chose every time Su Xiaoqing came.
"Actually, the stuff here is just the middle and upper level." In addition to her work recently, Cheng Shuixin's appreciation of food and coffee has also been greatly strengthened, "The environment is really important - you see that balding old man over there is the boss of Sanhe Gold Store." The old man in the plaid shirt over there is the vice president of the Calligraphers Association. β
Su Yifan was already quite familiar with this set, nodded and said, "A symbol of identity, normal." β
Cheng Shuixin smiled and shook her head: "If I hadn't known you and Sister Qing, I'm afraid it would take at least another five years for me to have the opportunity to come here for coffee, it's not a matter of money, it's a matter of mentality." β
"And now?" Su Yifan asked.
"Everything is so good right now." Cheng Shuixin said in a low voice, "It's so good that it feels like a dream." β
Su Yifan said: "Damn butterfly, I had a damn dream. β
Cheng Shuixin could understand what Su Yifan was saying, it was an essay about life, written by an American, and the text borrowed Zhuangzi's philosophy of life to talk about life without so many heavy burdens, and you shouldn't think about it. This article was recommended by Cheng Shuixin in the Literature Club, and Su Yifan didn't forget it after reading it.
Perhaps, Su Yifan has not forgotten everything about Cheng Shuixin, he remembers everything.
"If that's the case, I think it's pretty good." Cheng Shuixin said with a smile, "It's a pity that the reality is still too heavy for people to fly." β
Su Yifan didn't speak, he looked at Cheng Shuixin, looking at this girl who once made him feel that the world was a lot better.
When the coffee came, Cheng Shuixin stirred it gently with a small spoon, and suddenly asked, "Didn't I mention my family to you?" β
Su Yifan shook his head: "No." β
"I was a mom when I was a kid." Cheng Shuixin didn't do any foreshadowing, and said bluntly, "You also know the way, there are many parents who are eager to live their lives for their children, and I unfortunately met one." β
"My mother used to work in a daily newspaper, and after becoming the editor in charge of the corporate edition, she co-founded a cultural company, specializing in undertaking all kinds of outdoor advertising. Now you see that the first few large LCD screens in our city were invested by her. Now she is in a semi-retired state at the daily newspaper, and she has been sick for a long time. Half of the identity in the system is good, as long as you bypass the wall of not being able to open the company, you can always mix well. β
Su Yifan nodded, he had always suspected that Cheng Shuixin's family should have one or all of them were cultural people, so as to create such a beautiful girl who loves literature and art. Now it seems that he guessed correctly, Cheng Shuixin is still greatly influenced by his mother.
"My mom wanted me to get ahead from a young age, and no matter what way it was, she always wanted me to be the brightest one." Cheng Shuixin said lightly about herself, and she couldn't see any emotions, "When I was a child, I learned to dance, sing, paint, and play the piano, and I tried everything, and finally came to the conclusion that it was not suitable for those methods, and as a result, my childhood was almost ruined." β
The topic of ruining childhood has a similar shadow in the hearts of almost all peers, and there are still a few people like Su Yifan who are free-range. Su Shen and Gu Ying are also typical intellectuals, and their requirements for children are outrageously low. Su Yifan sometimes watched other people's children being asked harshly and called it love, and even wondered if he was sending it with phone bills......
"Later, when I grew up, I was more curious and wanted to know everything. My parents took me around, but they just wouldn't let me make the decisions on my own. Cheng Shuixin paused when she said this, looked at Su Yifan, and there was a bit of loneliness in her smile that Su Yifan could understand, "Since then, I have made up my mind to at least make them feel that I am excellent, I can make my own decisions, and I can reassure them." β
"You did it." Su Yifan said.
"That is, I just passed." Cheng Shuixin said, "My mother's requirements for me have changed now, and she especially hopes that I can become the kind of person who is sought after by many people, and then marry into a wealthy family." β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Su Yifan feels that this is almost the dream of many parents of beautiful girls, of course, people may not be as frank as Cheng Shuixin's mother and willing to say it directly.
"So you see I'm doing so many things, it's really for myself." Cheng Shuixin looked at Su Yifan's eyes and said, "I want to get rid of my mother's expectations, so I can only work hard to prove myself." β
Su Yifan persuaded: "There are no parents who don't love their children, maybe they won't ask you so much if they understand you." β
Cheng Shuixin smiled: "Understand? That's the hardest of all, right? If you can really understand, how can there be so many contradictions. β
Su Yifan was silent, he knew that Cheng Shuixin was right. Many efforts do not necessarily bear fruit, and the dialogue between the two generations is one example.
"So I don't know what tomorrow will look like." Cheng Shuixin frowned, looking pitiful and cute, "I'm more afraid of change than you, I hope you don't blame me." β

I'm frail and sick, and I'm not getting better, so I'm asking for a red ticket
