Chapter 12: You Are My Tribulation
The entanglement between Han Ruo and Zhuang Bin lasted for more than ten years.
More than ten years ago, he was a senior in advertising in the first year of high school, the number one talent in the School of Humanities, and at the welcome party, he fell in love with Lu Tingting from the Department of Foreign Languages.
That night, Han Ruo fell in love headlong, and when she first entered the university, she was captured by Zhuang Bin, a tall brother from other provinces, with a warm temperament.
Like someone is just that moment, maybe it's the crowd that looks at you more, or maybe it's the smile that suddenly breaks into the bottom of your heart. Vulgar, but true.
Lu Tingting is the flower of the Department of Foreign Languages of the College of Humanities, with a good family education, not only can sing and dance, but also has a bright appearance, and her snow-white skin is rare in the southwest region.
And Han Ruo is just a little mud monkey whose skin has been sunburned by ultraviolet rays and turned into a soy sauce-colored color, with unopened love and ignorant emotional intelligence.
But she followed her instinctive kindness, clumsily liked Zhuang Bin, liked the person he loved, liked it so much that she didn't dare to be jealous of Lu Tingting, and liked to go around the bush to get to know her, appreciate her, and praise her. Although Lu Tingting only regarded her as an overly enthusiastic and self-acquainted alumnus.
Han Ruo, who hid her love in her heart, was so humble that she didn't dare to expect Zhuang Bin to pay much attention to her.
When she was lovesick, she just used the excuse that she liked advertising, and asked the boys in the class to borrow books from Zhuang Bin for professional courses, and then delayed returning them to him, as if she could feel his breath through his books. It's almost perverted, but at that time it was really girlish feelings, obsessed like poetry and dreams.
In the past, she was fierce and arrogant, never knew what a lady was, but after knowing Zhuang Bin, she restrained her wildness, got rid of the wanton publicity that she had cultivated for eighteen years, and quietly became another strange self.
As long as Zhuang Bin can be happy with Lu Tingting, she is willing to seal him into a cinnabar mole in her heart and think about him forever.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Bin had to give her a chance.
She still remembered that night was Chinese New Year's Eve, she had graduated and had a job, thought that everything had settled, and thought that Zhuang Bin and Lu Tingting had lived a happy life as a prince and princess in Shanghai, thousands of miles away. Everything should be a fairy tale happy ending.
That night, she wished him a happy new year, as she had done in previous years.
Drunk, he replied to her in seconds. It was this second time, it was his drunken confiding, which started the only madness in her life.
Lu Tingting went abroad, they broke up, he was very sad, he knew that Han Ruo liked him......
Han Ruo didn't care about the shame after his mind was exposed, she felt sorry for him and asked him to take care of himself.
He asked her if she wanted to be with him, and as long as she came to Shanghai, they would be together......
On January 1 of that year, the first day of the new year, Han Ruo decided to go to Shanghai, find Zhuang Bin, and bravely pursue his love.
She quit her job immediately, and before she had time to convince her parents, she hastily packed up her clothes and money, and set off for Shanghai, thousands of miles away, without hesitation.
Impulsive, reckless, and leaving no way back, so what? How can there be so much reason in love!
The courage to go to the end of the world for love may only be once in a lifetime. If you miss it, you may never have the opportunity to do something with such longing for the rest of your life.
That year, the train from the southwest to Shanghai took 30 hours, dreary and dirty, but she survived all the way, knowing that someone was waiting for her.
In Shanghai, where life is unfamiliar, the waves of people are heavy and heavy, like busy ants living according to their instincts.
Han Ruo was at a loss when he first arrived, he couldn't take the subway, he didn't dare to take the subway, he couldn't read the map, and the mobile phone was the earliest smartphone with simple functions.
She stumbled and asked for directions, kept asking for directions, spoke Mandarin with an accent, and blushed all the way to his district.
However, she suddenly became cowardly, and did not dare to go to him in disgrace, for fear of increasing his burden and embarrassing him.
She used the meager savings she had saved from her work to rent a six- or seven-square-meter pavilion in Mingde Village on Ruijin 2nd Road.
The room is low enough to hit the ceiling with a lift of your hand; The house is not soundproofed, especially since the floor is a thin layer of wooden planks, and everyone below can hear every move; The house is peculiar, cold in winter and hot in summer. The scariest thing is that there are rats in the room......
But she was still happy, and with a place to live and settle down, she went to look for a job, found a job, and everything was ready for nothing.
But Zhuang Bin has never mentioned the topic of coming to Shanghai since Chinese New Year's Eve, and she has not told him that she came to Shanghai at the first time.
After coming to Shanghai for a week, she finally told her frankly, I came to Shanghai, does what you say still count?
He said, count.
They're together.
Later, he takes her into his life, into his residence, and meets his master, partner, landlord and roommate, Melinda.
That year, from her hopeful entry into Shanghai in January to her heartbroken heart in December, her life was turned upside down in one year.
She was determined to chase love for thousands of miles and elope for thousands of miles, thinking that coming to Shanghai was the beginning of happiness, they would always be together in peace, he would be her lifelong lover, but he didn't give her stability.
Their sweet life lasted for half a year, and in the summer, he quit his job without warning and went to Beijing, and she was only informed before he left. He wanted to give it a go, and he felt that his talent was not limited to that.
At that time, Han Ruo didn't know that Melinda had also resigned and gone to Beijing, until she saw Melinda in Zhuang Bin's Beijing rental house later, and her heart was rubbed by this gravel.
She tried to pretend that everything was a coincidence, and tried to behave magnificently for Zhuang Bin's face, but she didn't know that she would end up bloody from this gravel.
Zhuang Bin entered Beijing alone with enthusiasm and talent, but he misjudged the situation. Beijing, that's the imperial capital, how can it be so easy to mix.
Melinda chose to enter a film and television company as a literary planner, with the entry treatment of a newcomer. But Zhuang Bin chose to bury himself in writing novels and scripts, trying to directly knock on the door of cooperation with film and television companies with original works.
Six years later, when Zhuang Bin succeeded, he looked back and saw that he was right to do so, but six years ago, he was forced to lose his mind by cold receptions again and again.
Not everyone is Melinda, and not everyone can see the pearl because of his passion for life. What he wrote was scolded by others for being worthless, and he didn't get a penny.
In such a situation, his temper became worse and worse, his patience became less and less, and his anxiety became heavier. But Han Ruo still didn't know the seriousness of wanting to quit his job in Shanghai and go to Beijing to find him.
He dispelled Han Ruo's idea of resigning in time, but Han Ruo still didn't worry about him. As long as it is a weekend or holiday, she must go to Beijing to find him, do his laundry and cook, and try to make him happy.
