Ten years old dream, a prosperous house, full of fleas. The house is an 800-square-meter townhouse, the bungalow is located in the prosperous area of the center of Y, each room has large floor-to-ceiling windows, the window is a small garden full of wisteria and lavender, the sun shines through the linen curtains, and the house is slightly cool and warm.

This house is also the only evidence of Mengshi's mother's ten-year marriage, although she once had a dream dream of happiness. Mengshi's mother was born extremely beautiful when she was young, and the man who chased her was either rich or handsome, she didn't work hard when she went to school, and as soon as she graduated from high school, she married Mengshi's father, who was born in a wealthy family. In the first few years of their marriage, they were as affectionate as honey, and he helped her with almost everything in life, and the family hired housekeepers, chauffeurs, and maids, and she was spoiled so that her hands did not touch the sun. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, when Mengshi was 3 years old, her grandfather died of illness due to overwork. Dad separated from a few brothers, and the American dream was hot that year, and he went to the United States to start a business with enthusiasm.

However, when he got there, he found that the reality was more skinny than ideal. In American society, it is not as people preach that a good life can be achieved through unremitting struggle, and only a few people get rich after all. He quickly spent all the savings he had brought with him, but he didn't get them in his account for a long time. The wealth gap and racial discrimination in that land overwhelmed him, and he had to cut back on food and clothing, and even rented a basement. What kind of extravagant life he lived in China, and finally he couldn't bear the hardship. That year, he left with the thoughts of his wife and children, but finally brought back the news of business failure and a bewitching and beautiful new love.

When Mengshi was eight years old, the fact that her father was having an affair was finally discovered, her parents divorced, and the court awarded the house and two young children to her mother. In order to support a pair of children who are waiting to be fed, Mengshi's mother used the private money she had saved in the past to buy a nearby store, and ran a convenience store by herself who left early and returned late. And now that the two children have grown up and have been admitted to university, she is determined to find a stable job for them, preferably a 9-to-5 iron job bowl, so as not to be displaced for half a lifetime like herself.

What worries her the most is Mengshi, and she finds that her daughter is becoming more and more like what she was when she was young, which makes people look more and more amiable. This also made her start to give Mengshi Zhang Luo a blind date early, she didn't want to be too rich, she was afraid that her daughter would repeat her mistakes, and she didn't want her flesh and blood to be bullied on other people's doors. She especially objected to the poor children approaching her daughter, she always suspected that they were trying to get their own property, which she had earned for most of her lonely life.

And Mengshi has always been a person with ideas, she inherited her mother's good looks, and she also knows her mother's every step. My brother has already got a girlfriend, where does the money for the marriage come from? Don't you want your mother to take it? She also inquired about it on the side, and the bride price standard in her sister-in-law's hometown in the future is less than 1.8 million, and if her mother wants to save face, she will definitely not be lower than this number. She also understands that her mother will not empty her coffers for her brother's marriage, which means that the bride price obtained by Mengshi's marriage needs to be used to pay for her brother's marriage.

Mengshi naturally doesn't want her happiness to be replaced by the ticket to her brother's marriage, she loves her relatives, but she also has the right to be her own master. She decided to find someone who loved each other to marry, even if she didn't inherit any of the family's property, and escaped from the shackles of her original family.

Although her family is wealthy, Mengshi's scars are far greater than her pleasures. In Mengshi's young inner memory, her father cared very little about her. The damage caused to her by her original family made her extremely lacking in love, and Mengshi had no sense of belonging since she was a child. For Mengshi, life is like a dream, and the pain of the past made her tears into poetry.

In the eyes of the childhood Mengshi, security is a luxury. In order to fill the huge black hole in her heart, she tries premature love at a rebellious age. The boy was the captain of the school basketball team, and that deep attachment also gave her a brief period of joy, and she thought that vigorous love would last forever, but in the end she realized that it was just youthful frivolity. Both he and she paid a heavy price for this, and the boy was disqualified from a key high school, and she was forced to transfer to a junior high school in another city. She often wanders alone in strange cities, eating and shopping alone, how lonely she was at that time!

She felt like the world was about to collapse. One day wandering around the mall, she happened to hear Pu Shu's song, which was her favorite "Those Flowers". "That laughter reminds me of my flowers, quietly blooming for me in every corner of my life, I thought I would always be by his side, today we have left in the vast sea of people......" At that moment, Mengshi suddenly forgot where she was, she collapsed and squatted in the corner, beside the pear blossoms and rain, and the pedestrians in the mall looked at her with surprised eyes. By the time we've cried enough, it's getting late outside the mall. She wiped away her tears and returned to her dorm room as if nothing had happened. She felt much better, and the emotions that had been accumulated for a long time finally exploded. At that moment, she instantly understood that even if life was a mess, she had to grit her teeth and live it, and happy days would come eventually.

She spent her dark middle school years in a situation where no one helped her, and she felt that her heart was almost unconscious. That's when she got her wish and went to the university of her choice, and happened to meet Eucalyptus, her kind. Mengshi sometimes envies Eucalyptus blue, because she has everything she can't hope for. This little girl's personality is very similar to herself, and she even doubts that if she was born in a family like Lan Eucalyptus, she can be as innocent and cute as Lan Eucalyptus. They're the same kind of people in their bones. Mengshi's world seems to be prosperous, there are many people who want to be close to her, but few people understand her, and Lan Eucalyptus is a true friend who really walks into the depths of her heart.

Since the first day she met Lan Yu, Meng Shi has treated her as her own biological sister, and Lan Yu is even closer to her brother in Meng Shi's heart. Mengshi's brother is very attentive, and this has been carried over to his father. God gave him a well-mannered appearance, but he was defeated in it. Unlike his father, he is a playboy who knows how to deal with his elders. He knows how to please his mother better than Mengshi, he does what the elders like to see, and if the elders hate it, then he does it behind his back. As a result, most of the money in his mother's account went into his pocket as pocket money. He used the money to date the women he liked, and the current girlfriend who reported to his family in college was his twenty-seventh girlfriend, and these girlfriends were only the part he made public. Mengshi's mother chose a blind date for her, and most of them were such men.

After Mengshi went to high school, he heard about his father's recent situation, he was abandoned by the junior after his career failed, and it seems that he has been very unhappy in the past few years, which Mengshi secretly heard in the mouths of several relatives when she went to a relative's house for the New Year. Although the former gentleman no longer has any residential assets in Y City, there are still a few shops. Even if his business is not good, he can still survive on the rent money he collects. He is no longer as spendthrifty as he was when he was younger, not only because he doesn't have so much money to spend, but also because the years are urging people to grow old, even if he still has a lot of money, his body and mind have wandered for most of his life, which is enough.

He wants to live in the villa he lived in before he went abroad, and look at the children under his knees, even if he doesn't go back to live, it's good to meet. After many inquiries, he finally asked for the mobile phone numbers of his son and daughter from his ex-wife's friend. He first called his son with trembling hands, but the bastard boy hung up the phone as soon as he learned his true identity. In Mengshi's brother's opinion, the enemy who has been close to his mother for many years is dangerous, because it is very likely to affect his marriage to Bai Fumei, whom he carefully selected, this marriage can not only allow him to be a son-in-law for the rest of his life, but after a period of stability, he can still secretly meet all kinds of women, such a life is something he can't get even if he tries his best!

Mengshi's father naturally couldn't think of this, he thought that his children still hated him, so he dialed his daughter's phone number with even more guilt. Meng Shi was stunned when she learned that the other end of the phone was her biological father who she hadn't seen for many years, and tears flowed down, she had something to say to him, from 8 years old to 18 years old, a whole ten years, and how many decades does a person's life have? She was silent for a long time with tears in her eyes, but she still didn't speak, and always listened to her father silently. She didn't know whether to tell her mother the truth, in fact, she also understood that her father did owe her mother when he was young, but the bigger reason was because her mother didn't choose to be independent earlier. After all, love is just a gust of wind, you can't grasp it by grasping it alone, and only by making yourself better can you prolong the shelf life of love.

She began to plan for her future. The time in college seems to be long, but it actually flies quickly, and Mengshi feels that she should plan for graduation in advance. Her environmental art major sounds lofty, but the content is empty, and the real counterpart work is designing public places such as museums and gardens. And how many fresh graduates can receive these orders as soon as they graduate? So she felt like she couldn't sit still. Not to mention those goals that are too dreamy, she must at least ensure that she can support herself after graduation.

She has set her sights on the decoration industry, planning to apply for a job as a designer for a home furnishing pavilion or decoration team after graduation. Housing prices are so expensive now, almost every family has to find someone to decorate after buying a house, and if you have this job, you can at least ensure that you can have no worries about food and clothing. In order to find a job in a few years, Mengshi began to browse the requirements of decoration design positions in advance, or search for videos on the Internet to learn a few design software. When she has time, she will also borrow some avant-garde home design books in the library, and share them with Eucalyptus if she thinks they are good.

Mengshi knew in her heart that finding a job was only the first step to realizing her dreams, and she did not plan to be limited to the field of decoration design for the rest of her life. After her life has settled down, she wants to open a café, preferably selling light meals and floral arrangements, and acting as a studio on weekends to hold literary parties or something. This idea came about because as a senior literary and artistic young woman, she usually likes to visit all kinds of high-quality coffee shops, and she especially loves those nostalgic and retro feels, or negative ion coffee bars full of plant flavor, which are quiet and fresh and lovely. Then pick up some records of different styles, and the music full of memories will play leisurely, which makes people's hearts ripple.

If liking can only make Mengshi list one thing as an alternative, then the trend of the social environment is the main driving force for her to make up her mind, maybe this is too rational, but sensibility and rationality can only be mixed together to make people walk more steadily. Being impartial and mastering the heat is a bit like the golden mean advocated by the older generation. How much it took for Monesh to realize this! The brick-and-mortar store of the future may not be as good as e-commerce, but there must still be a place for the restaurant industry. In her opinion, if you want to be based on society, you must first become better and have a career that can reflect your own value, which is also to be able to stand by his side in the future on an equal footing, although it is not entirely because of love to improve yourself.

Mengshi can't predict who her future partner will be, but she hopes to have a common language with him. The hope in Mengshi's heart projected a majestic figure in reality, which gradually coincided with Zisong's appearance. Zhang Zisong and the men in her life circle are indeed different, and their acquaintance is a destined accident for Mengshi. That day, Zisong came to Mengshi's school to play with his iron buddy, who is the current chairman of the Student Management Committee, and the two were classmates in high school. And Mengshi happened to be sorting out the documents in the office of the Life Management Committee, and when Zisong saw her, she immediately felt that this was the girl she was looking for. Love is sometimes very simple, as long as he likes it, she has it all, maybe this is love at first sight. Since then, Zisong began to come to his buddy's school frequently to play, and after the chairman of the student management committee learned of Zisong's intentions, he privately praised him for his good vision and helped his buddy to connect or come up with ideas.

In fact, the sensitive Mengshi saw Zisong discover the secret that he liked him from the first time, but because she was reserved, she chose to remain silent for the time being. Zisong is a graduate student at a key university nearby, and when talking to him, people will feel his maturity and stability, and his gestures are a little humorous and elegant, and Mengshi quietly adds a little favor to her in her heart. She was tired of those fools who only knew how to have fun, and she was even more reluctant to put her future in their hands. Finally before the National Day holiday, Mengshi received his courteous confession, but she decided to observe and test him first, so she blushed and said that she would reply after the holiday. Zisong saw that she did not refuse, and understood that there was still hope, so he waited for good news.
