Chapter 187: I Was Originally a Zero
I was stunned!
Xu Yafei had already taken my hand and walked in.
"I guess you can't sleep, right? I can't sleep either, so I'll just open a room and talk. ”
There is no reason for my trust in him, I just think that he is a person who can keep the bottom line and is worth trusting.
This is an ordinary room, although the room is small, but basically complete, with a separate bathroom, TV, a double bed, a sofa by the window, and a small round table.
The main thing is that it is very clean.
The walls are covered with khaki wallpaper with dark lines, and the lighting is in warm tones.
Xu Yafei walked out to the balcony to smoke, and I followed out.
Below the balcony is the night market, which is very noisy.
Fortunately, the floors are higher, and all the hustle and bustle sounds far away.
"Shen Yu."
Xu Yafei called me, but he stopped talking.
I said, "You don't have to persuade me, I have come to this point not because of one or two things, but because of the accumulation of contradictions all the time, and I have been mentally prepared." ”
Xu Yafei held the railing with both hands and looked into the distance.
"And where are you going? Wherever you go, it's a fresh start, and it's not easy for a woman to start from scratch. ”
I smiled wryly, "I was originally a zero." ”
"Actually, you can leave without leaving."
He rubbed his brow, as if the effects of alcohol were giving him a headache.
I shook my head, "I don't have any reason to stay." ”
Xu Yafei sighed and subconsciously reached out to touch the cigarette.
In fact, I saw him throw the empty cigarette case into the trash.
As if remembered, he gave up looking for a cigarette and put his hand in his pocket.
The wind on the balcony was quite strong, bringing a chill and a faint smell of wine.
I shuddered.
"Is it cold?"
He seemed to notice it, and turned to me.
"A little."
I nodded, and was about to turn around and enter the house, but suddenly he jerked me into my arms.
"Xiaoyu, I love you!"
He confessed with a bit of drunkenness, and was hoarse and affectionate.
I was trying to break free from his arms, but he held me so tightly that he wouldn't give me a chance to escape.
"Xiaoyu, don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you, I'm so afraid that you will be hurt, how can I take the initiative to hurt you?"
I didn't move anymore and whispered, "Xu Yafei, you're drunk." ”
Xu Yafei's bitter laughter came from his ears.
"Yes, I'm drunk, if I wasn't drunk, how dare I confess to you?"
The aroma of wine lingers, mixed with strong sadness, which stimulates my nerves little by little.
"Xiaoyu, I love you, I have loved you for many years, I wanted to say this to you for a long time, but I haven't been able to open my mouth, you say I'm cowardly, I just don't want to disturb your life. But now I feel really distressed to see you unhappy. Xiaoyu, give me a chance, let me take care of you, you go or stay, let me stay by your side, okay? ”
I broke free from Xu Yafei's arms little by little, I was very moved, and I looked at him very seriously.
"Yafei, you have been very good to me since I was a child, and it is the same now, I am really grateful to you, but ......"
"You don't have to say it, I get it."
He took a few steps back, leaning back against the floor-to-ceiling window and looking up into the night.
"I have known for a long time that this is the result, which is why I have never dared to confess to you, I have never heard your answer, I can always hold hope, I can always protect you as a friend, care about you. Little fish, you know what? The scar on your heart is no different from the scar on mine. It's scary to think about it, what would you have done if you hadn't called me tonight? Where are you going? What kind of life will you live in the future? Xiaoyu, I'm really worried about you. ”
The moonlight shone in his eyes, sparkling with crystal.
In fact, I was so moved at this moment, but being moved is not love.
"Yafei, thank you for being kind to me, everyone will grow. I can't rely on others forever, even if it's a road full of thorns, I should break through it myself, I'm not a child, I'm an adult with hands and feet, and the ability to support myself, so don't worry about me. I just beg you not to tell him he's seen me, okay? ”
Xu Yafei looked at me, there was too much helplessness in his eyes, and in the end, he could only say the word "good" with a wry smile.
There was a cold wind, and he seemed to be much more awake, and patted me on the shoulder.
"It's cold outside, let's go inside."
Walking into the house, Xu Yafei took off his coat and lay down on the sofa.
"You sleep in the bed, I sleep on the sofa, sleep."
There were two quilts on the bed, both of which were not thick, but fortunately there was air conditioning in the room, and it would not be cold for him to sleep on the sofa, so I didn't say anything polite to him, climbed into bed and lay down in clothes.
But after lying down, I didn't feel sleepy, and Xu Yafei also opened his eyes and didn't fall asleep.
This was my first night away from Xue Duyun, and I was very embarrassed.
But embarrassment is just the beginning, there is still a long way to go, and for the sake of the baby, I have to make tomorrow better.
At four o'clock in the morning, even the night market downstairs was completely silent, and the sound of even breathing came from the other end of the sofa.
I stepped lightly into bed.
There was Xu Yafei's wallet on the small table, I took a stack of cash from his wallet, took my luggage out of the hotel, and then took a taxi directly to the train station.
When I first arrived in the county town of Linshui, it brought me only malice, and I just wanted to leave quickly.
The railway station is not very peaceful, after getting off the train, I quickly stepped into the waiting hall, the earliest train is half past five, leading to Qinggang City.
"How far is Qinggang from Nancheng?" I asked.
The conductor looked at me in surprise, "It's a ten-hour train ride from here to Qinggang." ”
Ten hours by train, far enough.
After buying my ticket, I waited in the waiting hall for an hour, and finally got on the train to Qinggang and left this nightmarish place.
Leaning against the window, I watched the dawn slowly come, watched the train shuttle through the fields and mountains, and watched the ice and snow slowly melt to bloom.
Qinggang is further south than Nancheng, and spring here comes very early.
As soon as the train entered Qinggang, I already saw spring flowers blooming everywhere.
When I found a random restaurant in Qinggang to finish breakfast and pay, I found that Xu Yafei had a note in his money.
"Xiaoyu, take good care of yourself, call me if you have difficulties, no matter how far away, I will come to you as soon as possible."
On the back is his phone number, WeChat, email and other contact information.
Looking at this note, I suddenly felt that every piece of money brought warmth, and it was also all my guilt towards Xu Yafei.
When you first arrive in a strange city, find a job first, and survival is the most important thing.
Let's solve the problem of Wen compatriots first, and then talk about life ideals.
Fortunately, my belly was not yet pregnant, and no one could tell that I was pregnant.
Perhaps God favored me, and I soon found a job advertisement posted on the door of a TCM clinic, requiring a nursing major and a certain knowledge of TCM.
I feel like this job is just made for me.
When I walked into this TCM clinic, the attending doctor, a male TCM doctor in his sixties and seventies, looked at my graduation certificate, asked a few simple questions, and quickly decided to hire me.
I was genuinely happy at that moment.
It's a good start.
The doctor's surname is Huang, and the building where he runs the clinic is his own, and there is a three-story building in the backyard, which is his family's house.
Dr. Huang's children are all studying Chinese medicine, and they all now work in big hospitals and have their own houses, so this house is currently occupied by Dr. Huang and his wife.
When Dr. Huang learned that I had just come from out of town, he offered to provide me with room and board, and even gave me an idle computer at home.
Since I am also a professional counterpart, I am very handy and have really become a good helper to Dr. Huang, and at the same time, he has also taught me a lot of things, which are exactly what I want to learn in the field of Chinese medicine.
I still can't help but miss Xue Duyun.
I think about work, I think about it when I have free time, I think about eating, and I think about sleeping.
When you see the same car and a similar back, your heart will beat twice.
So I try to keep myself busy and not think about it.
I remember the seagull telling me that if you are brave enough to say goodbye to the past, life will reward you with a new beginning.
A person who lives in the past cannot live a wonderful self.
Since I came to Qinggang, I have had more contact with seagulls.
I told him honestly about my situation, and I often share my life and work with him.
I work during the day and spend most of my evening studying the USB sticks that Zhuang Meiling gave me.
I don't know why Zhuang Meiling gave me this gift at the beginning of the year, but now it seems like a kind of foresight.
At the beginning, because of my professionalism and experience, Dr. Huang generously offered me 4,000 yuan a month, but when I settled the salary, Dr. Huang gave me 5,000 yuan, and I insisted on not wanting it. For me, 4,000 a month, with food and shelter for me, is already very good, but Dr. Huang insisted on giving it to me, saying that I deserve it.
In late spring and early summer, the layers of clothes on my body were reduced, and my stomach slowly became noticeable.
I live under the same roof as Mr. and Mrs. Huang, and I can't hide this problem, so I told them very frankly that I was separated from the child's father and I had to rely on myself.
Since they learned that I was pregnant, they took great care of me, and there was an extra person in the clinic to share the work, and Mrs. Huang often made chicken soup for me.
I don't know when I started, but I don't have an aversion to greasy things, and I try to eat as much as I can every meal for my children to grow well.
I don't know who said that everything must be reversed, and when your fate is at its peak, it means that a turning point is coming.
When I met Xue Duyun, it was a turning point for me, and now I have left him and met the kind Dr. Huang's family, which is also a turning point for me.
I believe this statement deeply.
I also shared with them the idea that I wanted to do TCM cosmetology.
Dr. Huang said with great appreciation, "I support young people to have their own ideals, and when people are young, they should fight hard and fight to promote the culture of traditional Chinese medicine, very good, Shen Yu, I support you, you let it go, I will invest." ”
Dr. Wong's optimism has given me great encouragement and my confidence has increased.
When I'm on vacation, I go and research the market.
Qinggang is also a very large city, and the market potential is definitely not inferior to Nancheng.
At the same time, I bought some books related to business management to recharge my batteries.
I have seen a lot of examples in the book, many excellent entrepreneurs started from a small workshop, I think people really can't be too high, you have to be down-to-earth step by step, and take every step steadily.
Entrepreneurship itself has a certain risk, and if you are not afraid of failure, you are afraid that you will not be able to get up from failure.
Refusing to take the first step, never knowing if you can do it.
I worked with Dr. Huang for four months and got 20,000 yuan, and I didn't spend any money on food and housing, so I basically saved it.
Dr. Huang invested 200,000 yuan, and I promised to give him dividends in the future.
I first rented a small storefront, did a simple renovation, purchased basic facilities, and then hired a clerk.
The second step is publicity, I initially set the target group at the middle and low consumption groups, and Dr. Huang suggested that Chinese medicine is not cheap, on the contrary, in foreign countries, they are very advocating Chinese medicine. And it is precisely the high-spending group that is really willing to take care of themselves, and I think what Dr. Huang said is very reasonable, so I made adjustments to define the consumer group as a female group with more spending power.
At the end of May, I heard that one of the largest clubs in Qinggang was going to hold a cocktail party, and all the people who participated were people with heads and faces.
This is a great opportunity for publicity, but I can't get into it as an ordinary person on such an occasion, not to mention that my belly is already obvious, and it is difficult to go to a drinking party with a big belly without attracting people's attention.
And it was at this time that an opportunity came to me.
