Chapter 1 Alone in Love

Next Chapter

Tonight was deep, and when I looked up, the sky and the earth at this time seemed to be separated by a thick navy blue curtain, and I could hardly see any light.

Yao Siman stood by the bedroom window, his godless eyes glowing with a gloomy color.

She raised her white hands, lifted the double curtain of colorful butterflies dancing faintly, and stared thoughtfully at the group of pedestrians dancing on the street below.

They sang in pairs, laughed, stamped their feet happily, clapped their palms occasionally mischievously, and wandered under the dim street lamps, reflecting the flickering light of the colorful Christmas lights.

Looking at these cheerful figures downstairs, Yao Siman's heart became more and more sour.

In a few moments, 2020 will come, and she will soon be running for three.

In this way, she settled in France with her parents, and unknowingly spent twelve years of cold and summer exchanges.

Thoughtlessly, she slowly fixed the curtains between her palms on either side of the window, and then returned to her desk and sat down.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw herself in the mirror.

Yao Siman has an innate melancholy temperament.

She was born with fair skin, a delicate face, and a pair of beautiful eyes, which were clear and seemed to be unstained with a trace of mundane color.

Under the nose, there is a thin and moderately soft lips, revealing a light pink, although it looks a little lacking in blood, but it does not lose its unique delicate beauty.

It's a pity that the only fly in the ointment is ...... It was the red butterfly-shaped birthmark on the right side of her face.

In fact, according to today's developed plastic surgery technology, the red birthmark on Yao Siman's face can be removed with a laser.

The so-called love of beauty is shared by everyone. When it comes to Yao Siman, she is also a person who loves to dress up.

However, she insisted on keeping this eye-catching birthmark to this day.

Her puzzling behavior was only because of the words he said in her ear more than ten years ago......

She looked at herself in the mirror in a daze, gently stroked the birthmark on her face, her two eyebrows rose slightly, a layer of mist quietly oozed out of her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curled with a very good-looking arc.

A distant and beautiful past came to an end in her mind, followed by countless other memories flashing in her chaotic mind, and her heart suddenly welled up with all kinds of feelings.

In the middle of the night when she was so alone, she always thought about him.

But somehow, tonight's miss for him is extraordinary, extraordinarily rich......

It is precisely because Yao Siman knows that she has a young figure hidden deep in her heart, so she has resolutely chosen the road of singleness in the past 12 years, and has never been willing to accept any overtures from other members of the opposite sex.

Although Yao Siman has had some inferiority complex since he was a child, he has always been very assertive.

Now that she knows that she can't give others her sincerity, she will definitely not intrude into other people's emotional worlds again......

In this life, she only wants to find a person with one heart and spend her life together.

It's a pity that that one person still missed it somehow after all......

"Xiaoman?"

At this time, a familiar voice came from outside the door of Yao Siman's bedroom.

When Yao Siman heard this, he hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and calmed the sorrow in his heart.

She slowly got up, turned her voice and walked softly to the door, opening it.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Looking at Yao's mother's expression, although she already had a guess in her heart, she still pretended not to know.

Over the years, although Yao Siman has not said it, he knows that his excessive stubbornness towards the past feelings in his heart has hurt Yao's mother to some extent.

Therefore, Yao Siman is a little apologetic for Yao's mother.

And for so many years, Yao's mother only knew that her daughter had not been able to find a suitable partner for a long time, but she didn't know that the development of this matter was not providential, but man-made.

It is not surprising to say that Yao's mother was kept in the dark, after all, Yao Siman is too deeply hidden.

In the minds of Yao's mother's generation, a person must find a suitable partner to live with.

The so-called "men should get married, women should get married", in the eyes of Yao Siman's parents' generation, is a wise saying, and it is also the most correct way for a person to behave in this world.

Yao Siman knew that he was unable to successfully instill his "rebellious thoughts" into his parents' established thinking, and he also knew that once the truth was discovered, he would undoubtedly add insult to the already chaotic family of three.

It is because Yao Siman sees things very transparently, so she always uses her own unique way to deal with the various marriage urgings she faces in reality.

It's just that in recent days, the careful Si Man Yao has clearly felt that the look of regret and unease has appeared more and more frequently in Yao's mother's eyes......

People are not plants and trees, not to mention facing his biological mother, Yao Siman naturally can't turn a blind eye.

Therefore, when faced with Yao's mother's look, her heart was always inexplicably filled with complicated waves, and her heart was uneasy.

In fact, Yao Siman is also a filial daughter, gentle and very family-oriented.

In the late autumn of 2008, she had just turned 18 years old and had just entered her sophomore year of high school.

However, she had no choice but to leave her homeland and go to France.

Since then, he has been wandering in other countries.

Yao Siman successfully obtained a driver's license a year after coming to France, and helped her parents open the first clothing store, and she was responsible for all kinds of miscellaneous things inside and outside the store.

It's a pity that due to Yao Siman's family's lack of experience, coupled with the wrong location, the business of the store has been extremely bleak since it opened.

At that time, she was looking forward to improving her business every day, but she had no choice but to squander her hard-earned savings for many years in just half a year.

Yao Siman clearly remembers that when he was most embarrassed, his father still secretly took the little money left in the family to gamble outside.

As soon as I go out, I don't go home all day.

At that time, Yao's mother blushed at home and yelled hysterically at her father, Yao Siman is still unforgettable.

As a daughter, Yao Siman can only secretly feel sorry for her mother's unladylike encounter in her heart, but she can't change anything.

She can neither get rid of her father's gambling habit, nor interfere with the marriage of the older generation.

In that dim time, Yao Siman could only endure the depression in his heart alone.

Fortunately, the business of another new clothing store opened later was quite good.

So, Yao Siman and his family of three slowly accumulated some savings in the past seven or eight years, and also bought a small family in France, and life gradually became comfortable.

Over the years, Yao Siman has supported this small family with a thin body, and has worked hard to take care of all the things in his store, big and small, and has always been hardworking and willing.

For his father, Yao Siman has a trace of resentment hidden in his heart.

As for her mother, she didn't want her to worry about money anymore.

Now, seeing that the business of the store has stabilized, parents who do not understand French can finally deal with those customers who come to the door in a so-so way.

Yao Siman thought in his heart that he would go out and find a job again, so as to add more income to his family.

After all, Yao Siman's family's original property in their hometown had been destroyed by Yao's father more than ten years ago.

But Yao Siman knows very well that although Yao's mother never says anything, she still very much hopes to buy a small family in China that can spend her old age in peace.

It is precisely because of this reason, and in the face of today's high housing prices in China, Yao Siman naturally wants to plan for his parents' old age earlier.

However, although Yao Siman's life has greatly improved compared with the past years, his home is still noisy and noisy.

Yao's father will still secretly take some money from the store, and he will still disappear inexplicably.

Yao Siman is not an unfilial daughter, but in her concept, she has always believed that marriage should not be a bargaining chip for children to be filial to their parents.

Therefore, although she knew that her mother was worried about her marriage, she always "rebelled" and secretly rejected those "suitable partners" who were kindly introduced by individual people.

She sometimes doesn't understand it.

Shouldn't marriage be a contract between two people who are in love with each other to the depths of their love and decide to stay together for the rest of their lives?

Why are many people reluctant to live for their children, and some people live together for the happiness of their parents, and there are even many people who just want to live together, so they just find someone who can live and get married......

For Yao Siman, unless she is the love of her heart, she will never be with anyone because of the worldly "should".

Her temperament is so resolute, she can't play a fake show to a person she doesn't love, and she doesn't want to pretend to live happily for others.

Since she was a child, her mind has been extremely simple, just to live as she pleases......

Yao's mother held her mobile phone and pulled Yao Siman to sit down on the edge of the bed.

"Come on, Xiaoman, add this person's WeChat."

Saying that, Yao's mother reached out to Yao Siman to ask for her mobile phone, and continued: "When I mentioned your matter to Li (Yao Siman's cousin) today, she sent me this young man's business card in WeChat, saying that she knew the roots. I look pretty good, or ...... Let's talk? ”

Yao's mother sat next to Yao Siman and said to herself.

Yao Siman didn't say much, unhurriedly took out his mobile phone from the pocket of his pajamas, and added the other party's friend in front of Yao's mother.

"Look, add it, right? I'll talk to that guy. ”

Yao Siman meekly "accepted" Yao's mother's "kindness" and said lightly.

And Yao Siman knows very well that as long as he chats with people on WeChat, he expresses less opinions and says more words such as "oh" and "um", this person will definitely not need three or two days to send it quietly.

This is a secret trick that she has tried and tested many times over the years.

Although she also felt that it was not good to treat her mother like this, after all, it was the lesser of two evils.

Rather than allowing the two generations to rigidize their relationship with each other because of their different ideologies, it is better to be like this.

Although Yao Siman's behavior seemed to be a bit deliberate, he also successfully protected the peaceful coexistence between their mother and daughter.

After Yao's mother completed the task, she was about to get up and go back to the room, but she felt a little uneasy, so she explained again, "You have to behave well this time!" Don't stop talking, you need to know you're thirty now! Serve more snacks! ”

Yao's mother patted the back of Yao Siman's hand, and asked with a serious face.

Yao Siman was silent thoughtfully for a moment, and nodded against his will.

Seeing this, Yao's mother got up and left with a soothing face.

"Mom, do you really think that marriage can make people happy?"

Unexpectedly, just as Yao's mother stepped out of the bedroom door, Yao Siman looked at her departing back with deep meaning, and suddenly spoke in a low voice.
