"I just hope you have a good life..." He choked out these words.
I stared at him silently for a long time, and then asked him softly: "Are you hiding something from me? Or is there something unspeakable...that you can't say?"
Ye Xing glanced at me, rubbed his face with his hand, and replied in a hoarse voice: "No... no..." The tone was extremely low, so low that it was almost inaudible.
"Really?" I lowered my head and looked into his eyes.
"Really not..." He avoided my gaze and lowered his head deeply.
Seeing his dejected look, I let out a long sigh.
There were no buses at this time, and it was difficult to take a taxi in this area. I couldn't let him stay here all night, so I said to him: "You come to my place to have a rest, and we will leave tomorrow morning."
Ye Xing looked at me and murmured his refusal: "No, I'll just stay here..."
I looked at him steadily and said angrily: "What are you doing here? Do you want to turn into stone and impress me?"
He looked at me with that innocent look, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.
I waved my hand angrily, turned around and walked upstairs.
He thought for a moment, then slowly followed me upstairs.
After entering the room, we were silent. I went to get him a quilt and let him rest on the couch where he lay that day. Then I went back to my room.
The next morning, when I woke up, I found that Ye Xing had left. He bought me breakfast again, this time it was fried dough sticks and soy milk, and he also placed a note next to it, which simply wrote a few words: I
gone.
This time, I didn't throw away the breakfast he bought. Instead, I sat down on the sofa and started enjoying the breakfast.
Actually, my mind had changed by this time. I thought to myself, I couldn't drive this boy away anyway, and he felt guilty about me, so I might as well get off the donkey and enjoy the kindness he was treating me.
Because I was indeed at the lowest point in my life at that time, and I also needed some spiritual comfort and comfort. He felt guilty for me, and I needed someone to accompany me, so let’s just leave it like this and let’s move forward...
There is another reason why I think this way, that is, I always feel that Ye Xing seems to have some unspeakable secrets that he has not revealed to me. I don’t know where his unspeakable secrets come from. Could it be that he and Deng Wenliang are hiding something behind my back?
Human activities?
I wanted to know this very much, so I thought, instead of pushing him far away at this time, it would be better to enjoy his love and care like this, and then see what his plans are next.
At that time, it was not surprising that I had this thought.
After I finally told my parents about my divorce, my mother reacted very violently, and she even burst into tears. She reprimanded me in a hateful tone: "You have ignored everything I told you?
I told you to bear with it, bear with it! It would be better for you to divorce this marriage without saying a word!"
My mother said while crying, I sighed and handed her a few tissues.
My mother took the tissue away from me angrily and didn't look at me as if she was angry.
I know that I have lost face for the two elders. One of the family members is already divorced, and I am divorced again. The two elders cannot hold their heads high in front of the neighbors.
But, how could this marriage continue to last?
"Mom, Deng Wenliang told me directly that he no longer loves me, but loves his assistant..." I explained to my mother the reason for my divorce with all my heart.
Before I could finish my words, my mother interrupted me with a loud roar. She shouted at me: "Did they force you to divorce? Did the mistress break into the house to compete with you for the position of the main wife?"
I admit that this is indeed true. Deng Wenliang has always hoped that the red flag at home would not fall down and the colorful flags would be flying outside. One of the reasons why we finally broke up and forced him to take out those photos to negotiate terms with me was because I insisted on getting a divorce.
Seeing that I didn't speak, my mother stared at me with her eyes, as if she had already told me what was on my mind. She murmured angrily: "I didn't force you, so you took the initiative to move to my home. Is that okay this time?"
As soon as you step away, that little fox on the back will come in!"
I tilted my head and looked to the side, sulking in my heart.
"Why don't you speak?" Seeing that I remained silent, my mother asked me.
"What do you want me to say? People say they don't love me anymore, so what's the point of me insisting on not getting divorced?" I couldn't truthfully tell my mother the scandalous things that Deng Wenliang designed to frame me, but Deng Wenliang cheated and changed his mind.
It's true, this is why I insisted on filing for divorce.
"What can love mean these days? How many couples have been like this all their lives, as long as he guarantees your status as the main wife! Look at you now that you are divorced, how many girls are rushing to marry him, and then
Let’s see what you can find.”
My mother's words were like sharp knives piercing my heart!
I couldn't listen anymore, so I stood up and said to my mother: "Mom, I'm going back first. You and my dad should take care of your health!"
My mother was sitting there with a livid face, still nagging me endlessly, blaming me for killing her first and telling her later, but I was no longer prepared to listen any more, so I strode out of the door of my parents' house.
At that time, I was in such an extremely embarrassing situation. The divorce was not understood and accepted by my maternal family, and my career was also frustrated. I was forced to run the roadside Malatang shop from scratch. You can imagine the hardships involved.
Because a place like a village in the city is a mixed place, with people from all walks of life, and there will inevitably be some gangsters and other scoundrels among them. If I open a shop as a woman and there is no man around me, I will inevitably be attacked by some people with evil intentions.
Bully.
Wei Haichao and Xu Xinnuo, two good sisters, understood my situation best. They both said that they would introduce me to a suitable partner and ask him to help me, so that I would not have such a miserable life.
.
However, it was at the beginning of my business and I had just come out of a failed marriage. I was not physically or psychologically ready to accept another relationship, so I declined their kindness.
However, after all, I am not a strong person. After a tiring day, I also want to find someone to talk to about my grievances and injustices.
Based on the above thoughts, I finally acquiesced in having Ye Xing stay with me.
It may be that I was taking advantage of his guilt towards me, or that I was really feeling empty. In short, the situation at that time made me no longer reject him from entering my life.
***
Ye Xing will come to my store after get off work, and sometimes help us with some laborious tasks within his ability, such as helping to move things, greeting customers, etc.
Since he came, those little gangsters who came to our store for nothing and teased me and Xiaomei with some disgusting and obscene language have disappeared. It seems that to open such a roadside store, there should be one at home.
A man, no matter whether he is a showman or not, can have a certain deterrent effect as long as there is a male citizen standing there.
Although Ye Xing is thin, he is still standing there with a height of 1.8 meters, so having him wandering around the store really makes me feel more at ease.
When people ask me about my relationship with him, I just say he is my cousin.
Ye Xing often comes here, and the happiest person is Xiaomei. The little girl is in the prime of her life and has no immunity to a handsome boy like Ye Xing. Fortunately, Ye Xing is quite relaxed and always talks when she is with Xiaomei.
He is polite and rarely makes inappropriate jokes, so the two of them get along fairly well.
***
On a rest day, Wei Haichao and Xu Xinnuo visited my roadside shop together.
The arrival of these two mature beauties has really enhanced the splendor of my little shop.
I was still wondering how they could be so familiar. Later, I heard from Hai Chao that it was Xu Xinnuo who helped her fight her divorce lawsuit. Because Hai Chao's husband refused to divorce at that time, Hai Chao went to court in anger.
He also found Xu Xinnuo through a friend and asked her to be his client.
The three of us are close in age, so we can talk about everything together.
Two beauties were sitting in my humble little shop, laughing and feasting.
They repeatedly praised me for my ability, but after observing my homework activities for a long time, they all agreed that this job was too hard.
Xu Xinnuo heard that Haichao and I had always had the idea of opening a high-end fast food restaurant. She immediately said that the idea was great and she was willing to invest in it to support us.
In fact, Haichao has always thought that it was too hard for me to open this store, and it would be dangerous to open it so late every day. So now when she heard what Xu Xinuo said, she immediately agreed: "Xiaoman, look at this rich woman Xu Xinuo.
I have promised to help you. How about we find a suitable location and open the fast food restaurant next? Hire someone to operate it, so you don’t have to work so hard..."
I smiled awkwardly and declined with some embarrassment: "The idea of opening a fast food restaurant is indeed a good one, but I feel that I am still in the stage of accumulating experience and funds, so I won't rush that idea for now. Thank you both for your kindness.
.”
Wei Haichao and Xu Xinnuo are both very considerate women. They know that I care about face and don't want to rely on my friends for everything, so they reluctantly smiled and expressed their approval.
Haichao is not busy at work. She usually comes to my store when she has nothing to do. In this way, she will inevitably meet Ye Xing.
When she saw Ye Xing for the first time, her expression was simply dumbfounded.
She knew that Ye Xing had had a relationship with me before, but of course she didn't know about the details that followed. She just always thought that Ye Xing and I were lovers. Therefore, after she saw Ye Xing at that time, while he was leaving, Hai Chao got together.
Whispering in my ear: "Is this the boy playing the piano that makes you obsessed?"
While I was working, I smiled and nodded gently at her.
Haichao said to himself: "No wonder you are so deep and handsome? If it were me, I wouldn't be able to resist it!"
