Chapter 1: Old Acquaintances Who Meet Again

Next Chapter

Once a woman crosses the threshold of 30 years old, her days are torn between work and family, and there are difficult and ruthless characters on both sides, so that you have no time to take care of anything else, and time passes like water. There is no dream, there is no faith, and if there is, it is necessary to convert the economic value, and the reality is incomparable. When youth, love, and dreams become gimmicks in movies and boring tricks to deceive little girls, they will not easily cause a ripple in their hearts. A woman after the age of 30 has impeccable makeup on her face, a dignified and generous smile, gentle and elegant words, and a delicate and capable appearance, but in fact, her heart has long been strong and invulnerable.

Yang Yiran, 33 years old, fair skin, delicate facial features, a pair of clear and bright big eyes, bright and bright, tall and tall, well-proportioned, Chu Chu moving, graduated from a famous university, the eldest daughter in the family, has a younger brother, both parents are intellectuals, with a good family education and cultivation. After graduating, you will stay in the city where the school is located and become one of the many white-collar workers in this cosmopolitan city. 3 years ago, when he was 30 years old, at the strong request of his parents, he married the one who was better in all aspects among his many suitors, and was jokingly called a political marriage by Yiran. Liu Wei is the one who stands out among the many suitors. Liu Wei is 35 years old, Da Yiran is two years old, ordinary appearance, ordinary family, but he entered the society two years earlier than Yiran, much more mature than Yiran, and he is also very clever and diligent. When he pursued Yiran, he was still a young man who had nothing in the society, and it was also an unexpected thing for him to be able to pursue Yiran, just like picking up a treasure, he naturally spoiled Yiran as a princess after marriage. After marriage, Yiran is also happy to be a happy little woman, enjoying Liu Wei's care and a stable and peaceful life.

Whether Yi Ran has love for Liu Wei or not, she may not be able to tell herself. In the junior year, I fell in love with a senior in the same major, and was fascinated by the senior's grace, and the girl who has always been reserved and introverted will also take the initiative to create various opportunities to pursue love. When she was a student, Yiran was as pure as a jasmine, and her gestures emitted a charming fragrance, which attracted the seniors deeply, and the two officially fell in love. It's a pity that the duration of this beautiful love is as short as the flowering period of jasmine. The withered love left Yi Ran with a long-lasting stinging pain in her heart that could not be dissipated. Liu Wei is different, when he pursues Yiran, he creates some small surprises from time to time to make Yiran happy. After marriage, Yi Ran said the same, everything is based on Yi Ran's will, which makes Yi Ran feel at ease. Feelings that can make you happy and at ease should be more like love than feelings that only make your heart hurt. This is also Yiran's philosophy of love, which has become a criterion for choosing a marriage for himself.

In the early morning of this day, as usual, Yiran was watching the entertainment news on her mobile phone while leisurely enjoying the breakfast prepared by Liu Wei. Liu Wei had finished eating early and was washing dishes by the sink with an apron. I also pay attention to Yiran's dining situation from time to time, and at any time, I am ready to wash the dishes and chopsticks that Yiran has finished eating and go to work. Seeing that Yi Ran was only playing with his mobile phone and didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, he anxiously urged: "Wife, hurry up and eat, the porridge is cold, and the stomach will be uncomfortable again after eating the cold rice, and I have to wash the dishes and go to work", Liu Wei looked at his watch, it was almost half past seven. Yi Ran looked up at Liu Wei with a pink apron, washing the dishes neatly, while nagging like an aunt to urge herself to eat, and laughed unconsciously, a 1.8-meter-tall man, he looks very cute with an apron. "Got it, Aunt Liu," Yi Ran said with a smile.

"What? Auntie" Liu Wei protested: "If it weren't for the fear that you would be smoked into a yellow-faced woman, I wouldn't have bothered to do this."

"Even if I am a yellow-faced woman, I am also the most beautiful of the yellow-faced women" Yiran was not convinced.

"Got it, got it, you eat it quickly, I'm really going to be late", Liu Wei muttered, and simply walked over from the sink and picked up chopsticks to pick up the vegetables into Yiran's bowl.

Yi Ran ate a few bites and shouted that he couldn't eat, and when he was full, Liu Wei was like Tang Seng again, and began to talk about how little Yi Ran ate and so on. For three years, this drama has been repeated almost every morning. This is the little day after Yi Ran's marriage, although she didn't say it on her lips, but she was actually satisfied in her heart.

The two packed up and went downstairs, Liu Wei picked up the car and drove Yiran to work. The road to Yiran's workplace was actually not a smooth one. But sending Yiran to work every day is also something that Liu Wei has always insisted on as a boyfriend and husband. So two people have to go out by 7:40 to not be late. It wasn't until the car drove out of the gate of the community and saw that the road conditions on the road were not crowded, that Liu Wei's nervous heart relaxed.

"Wife, I have to work overtime until late at night, and I can't pick you up from work, so I can take a taxi back? Buy something good to eat and don't go hungry. Go to bed early, don't wait for me", when waiting for the red light, Liu Wei said to Yiran with an apologetic face.

"Overtime again? Your company has been so busy lately, do you want to take any big projects?" Yi Ran did not show any displeasure. Recently, Liu Wei has worked overtime frequently and has begun to get used to it. For young people in the metropolis, overtime is commonplace.

"Well, recently, the people in the company have been busy fighting at night, and they have come out of the dark circles, and they are all like pandas", Liu Wei replied with a smile, afraid that Yiran would be unhappy and deliberately adjust the atmosphere.

"Got it, you go home and drive and pay attention to safety, if you are tired, just rest in the office for a while before leaving" Yiran was a little worried about Liu Wei.

"Obey, my wife, or my daughter-in-law is sensible, and she knows that she feels sorry for me, hey, why do you think my life is so good? I wouldn't have saved the planet in my last life. can have such a good daughter-in-law, and all the men in the world will be scum, of course, there must be no exception for my father-in-law, if the mother-in-law is not excellent, she can't train her daughter so well" Liu Wei can still make Yiran happy.

"Okay, don't be poor, I don't know which of your words is true, if it goes on like this, I won't dare to believe a word of your words", Yi Ran said that he didn't believe it, but he still accepted it as a matter of course in his heart.

When he arrived at the door of Yi Ran's company, Yi Ran got out of the car, tidied up his clothes, and threw himself into the battlefield. The workplace is like a battlefield, whether you are a beauty, an old or a weak or disabled, no one will be treated differently because of your own particularity, unless you are a relative of the boss. If not, there can be no mistakes, everyone is like a person who grabs rattan on a cliff to survive, and if he is not careful, he will immediately be pulled down by others and stepped on under his feet, becoming a stepping stone for others to climb up. Yiran is no exception, so once you put yourself into your work, you must always be cautious and strong.

On the days of work, I am always busy, and I don't even have time to take the time to look at the scenery outside the window, I don't appreciate what the sunset looks like, and it's dusk when I look up again. Yi Ran packed up the papers in hand and left work. A man carries a bag and takes a taxi on the side of the road. When I took a taxi home by myself like this, I have been a little bit more recently, although at the beginning, I could enjoy the freedom of being alone, and I felt very comfortable, but there were many times, and I was a little lonely. Without Liu Wei by his side, he is no longer used to it. In the taxi, Yiran was a little angry with herself, and kept repeating in her heart: I can't be a little woman who is attached to a certain man, I can't be carried away by love, even if I am a married husband, I must keep a safe distance in my heart. Although Yiran is full of self-confidence and is very free and easy on the surface, the lessons from the past are there, which makes her still afraid of her feelings. So she decided that she should control the degree of emotional investment, not excessively, once she invested 100% of her feelings, it would be like a fish on the knife board, and only someone would be left to slaughter. Therefore, to treat Liu Wei, even if it is a married husband, it is necessary to calculate that he loves her more than she loves.

When Yi Ran was still making his own little calculations, the phone suddenly rang. Yi Ran instinctively thought that it was Liu Wei calling, and suddenly his heart warmed. took out his mobile phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and he immediately lost it. Yi Ran was completely angry now. The psychological construction I did just now was obviously useless, and I was still expecting Liu Wei to call to care about me.

"Hey, hello" Yiran tried to calm his mood, pretending that nothing had happened.

"Hey." The voice on the other end of the line paused. "Hello. Is it Yang Yufei's sister? ”。

"I am, may I ask who you are? Did something happen to Yufei? Yi Ran became nervous, and he didn't know what happened to Yufei again. Yufei is Yiran's younger brother, 26 years old, and after graduation, he also came to the city where his sister lived, working in a magazine that was not large or small. My younger brother has excellent academic performance since he was a child, but his personality has not been stable enough, saying that the wind is rain, and emotionally he dares to love and hate, and is the style of a standard young man. talked about a little girlfriend named Sayuri, and she is a demon every day. The two of them staged an urban romantic drama all day long, and staged a breakup scene every two or three days. Sure enough.

"Hello, this is No. 570 Furong Road, a seafood food stall, Yufei has drunk too much, please come and pick him up," the person on the other end of the phone said to Yiran.

"Okay, please wait, come right away", Yi Ran hurriedly changed the address with the taxi driver.

About twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the door of the seafood food stall. Yiran hurriedly paid the fare, got out of the car and rushed in. The seating rate of the seafood stalls at this time is not very high, but only a few people are dining. At a table in the corner lay the familiar figure on her back. There were also two waiters standing next to them, both with helpless expressions. Yi Ran walked over and patted Yufei on the back and gently called Yufei's name. Yufei had already drunk too much, lying on the table like a mess of mud, and screaming indistinctly: Lily, Lily...... The bottles on the table were scattered all over the place. When the waiter saw Yi Ran coming, he couldn't help but complain: "Oh, this young man, he has been here since about three o'clock in the afternoon, and he is drinking alone, we reminded him, but he didn't listen to the persuasion and drank like this." We gave him a plate of celery lilies for free, but he kept making a fuss and scared our guests away. It's just quieted down now. "Well, there's a reason why the seafood stalls are so deserted today. Yiran is really quite angry, I feel that Yufei is really embarrassed, and I am very sorry for the seafood food stall. "Please, give me his bills? I'll take him away when I'm done.

"No need, Sister Yiran. I've settled the bill," a voice came from behind Yi Ran, the same voice on the phone just now.

Yi Ran turned around, and standing in front of him was a strange boy. It is a big boy who looks about the same age as Yufei, tall, slender, with clear eyebrows and a sunny smile. "You know me?" This Sister Yiran completely called Yiran blind.

"Yes, Sister Yiran, don't you remember me? I'm Li Junhe, Yufei's junior high school classmate, I played with Yufei every day in middle school, and I often eat at your house" Junhe tried to help Yiran recall the events of more than ten years ago.

"It's Junhe, it's been too long, I've grown into an adult, I really don't recognize you. But I didn't hear from Yu Fei, you are still in contact now", Yi Ran was also shocked by Junhe's sudden appearance. After graduating from junior high school, Junhe went to a different high school than Yufei, and rarely contacted him again. Eleven years have passed, and the shy teenager has grown into an adult.

"However, two guests, this drunken guest is really not very comfortable, you can take care of him first" A waiter couldn't help but remind him when he saw that the two were busy catching up and had no intention of leaving.

"Oh, yes" and Yufei. Yiran almost forgot about this disgraced brother. Two people carried Yufei on the left and on the right, and walked out of the seafood stall.

In the taxi to Yufei's house, Junhe and Yiran chatted about today's chance encounter. After graduating from junior high school, the two entered different high schools, and because of academic tension and new friends with each other, they slowly stopped contacting. After graduating from college, the two coincidentally stayed in the same city. Today, Junhe originally asked his friends to eat at a seafood food stall, but he happened to meet Yufei who was making a lot of noise at a seafood food stall. If it weren't for hearing Yufei calling and shouting at the door: I, Yang Yufei or something, I wouldn't have recognized Yufei. Then Junhe is separated from his friends and left alone to take care of Woofei. Because he didn't know Yufei's address, he took out Yufei's mobile phone and called Yiran.

"Junhe, thank you, I'm glad I met you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to move him. But you really have fate, and now, you can continue to be good friends again. Working hard in the same city, we can take care of each other", Yiran is sincerely happy that Yufei and Junhe can become good friends again. The two teenagers played basketball, played games, and ate together vividly, and eleven years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The two chatted for a long time in the car until they arrived at Yufei's house. Junhe helped Yiran set Yufei properly, and after leaving phone numbers with Yiran, Junhe left. Yiran was left alone to take care of her younger brother.
