Shen Yin went to the provincial capital, and Xia Zhengang called her and said that she wanted to get together. Sitting on the train, she remembered something from before.

In the early summer of 2016, Shen Yin graduated from university, when she was still a simple girl, full of expectations for the future, fantasizing about poetry and distance. After more than two months of waiting, she got her first job as a clerk in the tax bureau in the provincial capital. The first few days were long and boring for her. The daily chores take up most of her time, and at the same time, those jobs have nothing to do with her profession. Although the work is tedious, the salary he receives can barely make ends meet for his family. Shen Yuehuan was admitted to high school that year, and the burden on her family suddenly increased, and she had to work part-time after work. Although my aunt was willing to bear part of their child support, she refused.

In those two years, she barely saw the sun, shuttling between the provincial bureau, supermarkets and the homes of several students every day, and even went back for eight days during the Chinese New Year. She has lived in the worst share house, eaten the cheapest noodles, and just hopes that her grandmother and sister can live comfortably.

After Shen Yuehuan entered the third year of high school, she was able to get a scholarship from the school every year, so she stopped working part-time, and changed to a house with a slightly better environment, and she had time to do what she liked every day, but she was still working as a tutor, thinking that she would save enough money for Shen Yuehuan to go to college.

When she graduated from college, her aunt once gave her a good family affair, and she wanted to get her married as soon as possible, so she found someone to help her share the burden of the family. The man was a soldier, named Shi Ke, his family was wealthy, and his parents had agreed to let their family move in, but Shen Yin also refused. At that time, she had just left school and had just experienced the baptism of society, and the stubbornness in her bones drove her to support her family with the labor she earned with her hands even if her life was urgent. Although my aunt had known Shen Yin's temperament for a long time, she still let them meet, but that meeting was carried out without Shen Yin.

It was a Saturday, and it was raining lightly, and Shen Yin had just finished tutoring a high school student and was going to go to a nearby supermarket to buy some vegetables and go home. Suddenly, the wind blew and raindrops the size of beans fell, but the umbrella was powerless to compete with it. She hurriedly ran to the nearest bus stop to hide from the rain, and Shi Ke happened to be there. Although they didn't speak that time, Shi Ke had a good impression of Shen Yin. When my aunt found out, she was very happy and planned to match them. Since then, my aunt has often created opportunities for them to meet.

After a long time, Shen Yin also found clues, for example, she often receives gifts, and her aunt has become very enthusiastic, often inviting her to go to the mall, but her aunt doesn't buy anything, just saying that the dress or bag she likes has just been taken off the shelves. In the end, under her questioning, Xiaohui told her the truth.

It happened that it was also a rainy day, she asked for Shi Ke's contact information from her aunt, and they made an appointment in a café, Shen Yin expressed her gratitude to him, and also expressed her thoughts - she didn't plan to get married so early, not to mention that she didn't want to rely on others for family matters.

But Shi Ke saw her thoughts, he suppressed his disappointment, and said to her calmly: "Shen Yin, in fact, these are just your excuses, you have another person living in your heart, it's just that you don't want to face it." ”

That day, the sky had been gloomy, and the light rain had been pouring down, but Shen Yin felt as if he had been hit hard, and his heart was full of fear.

After Shi Ke finished speaking, he drank the latte in front of him and left.

Shen Yin sat dumbfounded, she tried her best to hide her inner feelings, although she didn't want to admit it, he was indeed telling the truth. That summer, the scenes of Wang Mengliang relieving her are deeply engraved in the depths of her mind and will never linger.

In the evening, when she came home, she saw the notebook in the drawer, and the memories of the past came flooding back, and the figure of the sunny and handsome boy was always active in those scenes.

In the winter of 2018, she often took the high-speed train home due to family reasons. By chance, due to traffic jams on the road, she missed the last high-speed train home, and just when she was disappointed, she slowly walked towards the exit with her suitcase, but was stopped by a man. It turned out that this man happened to be the conductor of one of the high-speed trains between the county and the provincial capital, and after a few pleasantries, she learned that this man turned out to be a fellow countryman, and he happened to be able to give her a ride on the way. At that time, she had been worried about her grandmother's condition, and she readily agreed.

Tang Bai's family lives in the county seat, and when they arrived in the city, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening. Tang Bai was a warm-hearted person, and considering her comfort, he drove her to the door. After that, every time Tang Bai came home, he would call her in advance to see if she wanted to go home.

Gradually, their relationship became acquainted, Shen Yin had a good impression of him, and on the Qixi Festival of the following year, they officially began dating. Less than two months after they started dating, Tang Bai's mother suddenly found her and told Shen Yin that she did not agree with their relationship.

The next day, Shen Yin went to look for Tang Bai, but saw Tang Bai's mother and a beautiful girl happily walking into Tang Bai's office. At that moment, she was calm, sat on a bench in the yard, edited a text message, took out her mobile phone card and threw it into the trash can on the side.

Since then, she has never taken the high-speed train from the provincial capital to the county seat.

Her mobile phone rang suddenly, and it was Xia Zhen calling. Now Xia Zhen is already waiting for her in a bubble tea shop near the high-speed rail station in the provincial capital.

Shen Yin walked into the café, Xia Zhen greeted her warmly in a white knitted dress, "Shen Yin, long time no see, come and sit down." ”

"I'm the same, I heard that you won the championship again this year, and I wanted to come and celebrate for you for a long time." Shen Yin took off his coat and sat opposite Xia Zhen.

"You're also very good, I really didn't expect you to come up with such a great work." Xia Zhen glanced at the time and motioned for the waiter to serve the meal. "The desserts here are very good, you can try them."

Xia Zhen has lived in the United States since he was a child and likes to eat Western food, so he prefers sweets. After some small talk, Shen Yin couldn't help mentioning Zhou Fansheng.

"You see, we've finally met once, so let's not talk about these topics." Xia Zhen changed the subject and said, "How are you doing?" Have you and him considered having a baby? I've seen a lot of American children, but I still prefer our Chinese children, which are very cute. ”

Shen Yin took a sip of coffee, "Huh...... We...... He ...... "She didn't know how to answer."

"Haha...... Don't be so shy, among my friends in the United States, this matter has been considered by both parties before marriage, usually they will have children within a year or two of marriage, and when the children reach a certain age, they will send the children to childcare institutions. Xia Zhen said lightly: "I don't know if it's the same in China?" ”

"Most parents in China don't, and most of them choose to raise them themselves or let the elders in the family raise them on their behalf." Shen Yin explained.

"Oh, I see." Xia Zhen looked envious, "Tonight, you have to tell me about some similar traditions or customs in China." ”

"Okay, then you'll have to be prepared not to sleep tonight."

After they finished eating the dessert, it happened to be eight o'clock in the evening, Xia Zhen took her to the booked hotel, which was a five-star hotel in the provincial capital, she had never been in again, and she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart.

Xia Zhen sat on the sofa and said while removing his makeup: "Oh, today you said that you want to do a mobile phone advertisement, do you have any ideas?" ”

Shen Yin had just finished taking a shower, and her hair hadn't dried yet, so she took out the sketch she had drawn this afternoon from her bag and approached Xia Zhen's side, "This is a sketch, take a look." ”

Xia Zhen put down the makeup remover cotton in his hand, "I'll help you dry your hair first, and I'll look at it later." ”

Her hair was just half-blown when her mobile phone rang, and it was Wang Mengliang calling. "Xiaoyin, where are you? I've been busy during the day, so I didn't answer your calls. ”

"I know, I'm here in Xia Zhen now, you take care of yourself." Shen Yin didn't ask him anything, but he was inexplicably a little angry in his heart. "I'm not very convenient here, let's talk later, good night!" She hung up the phone, her eyes scanning over the twenty or so missed calls on her phone.

After they finished talking, Xia Zhen smiled at her maliciously, "Do you want to drink beer?" ”

Shen Yin nodded, Xia Zhen had already taken out four cans of beer from the refrigerator, opened one of the bottles and handed it to her, "Come, cheers!" ”

She took a big sip, but there was a trace of bitterness in her mouth, and she actually liked the taste when she was half a bottle.

Xia Zhen took out twelve cans of beer from the refrigerator again, "Shen Yin, tonight, we will rest as soon as we get drunk." ”

"Bang!" The sound of wine bottles colliding resounded throughout the room, and Shen Yin's face flushed, "Come, a thousand glasses of wine are less ......than a confidant."
