Chapter 4 3
After graduating from college in 2011, she came to Yuncheng and looked for a job like a headless fly in a strange city where she had no relatives. She went to many places and hit a wall countless times. When she was desperate, she happened to see a recruitment information of a supermarket, so she went to work as a cashier in the supermarket, and soon met her first love.
Young people who drift along will always want to find a companion to cheer each other up and accompany each other. To accompany themselves through the panic of unfamiliarity and the difficult times. Everything will fall into place naturally, just like three meals a day.
It was just after the tenth day of the first lunar month in 2012 in Yuncheng. The spring was still chilly and the early morning sun only revealed a thin thread of golden wool.
She sat on the back seat of Yuhui's electric scooter, pressed against his back, with her hands in his pockets. The cold wind made her nose red, but she didn't feel cold at all.
"Would you like to accompany me to Haicheng?" Yuhui's voice swept across her cheek.
"I do!" she blurted out with an innocent look on her face.
"I'm serious! Think carefully before you answer." Yu Hui frowned slightly.
"Of course I am willing. I am just a cashier. It doesn't matter which city I work in. As long as I can be with you, I will be happy anywhere!" Ye Zhenzhen's thoughts drifted to a distant island. She held her lover's hand, felt the salty sea breeze, and stood under a tall coconut tree...
Ye Zhenzhen is willing to go to the ends of the earth with him, to any unknown corner. Even if it is full of thorns or dangerous shoals, she is willing to go with him. In her heart, love is greater than heaven.
Yuhui said nothing, just focused on riding his electric scooter while looking at the road ahead.
On February 14th, Valentine's Day, the supermarket was filled with sweet love songs, and colleagues were asking each other early in the morning, "Ye Zhenzhen, today is Valentine's Day, what is your boyfriend going to give you?"
She stood at the supermarket checkout counter, looking at the computer calmly, and replied without even looking up, "I just want to be happy with him, I don't care about gifts or anything like that."
"Hey! You are so young and say such boring things. Who doesn't look forward to Valentine's Day? You don't understand romance..."
"Yeah! Who doesn't celebrate Valentine's Day? How dare my boyfriend not give me a gift? I'll make him look bad!"
"It only happens once a year! It's so memorable, we can't miss it."
All my colleagues were beaming with joy and were discussing the matter with sweet anticipation.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't lie. Of course it's good to have it, but it's okay if she doesn't have it! Sincerity is more precious than anything else. Besides, life is long, and she has plenty of time.
In the morning, Yu Hui sent her to work and made an appointment to go eat steak after get off work. Until the end of the get off work, Ye Zhenzhen did not receive any message from Yu Hui, let alone wishing her a happy Valentine's Day. She was a little annoyed and looked at her phone from time to time.
"Do you love me? Yuhui." Ye Zhenzhen didn't understand why she sent this message.
When getting off work, my colleagues were holding flowers excitedly. The roses were blooming beautifully on their own festival, and the eye-catching red color made people salivate.
Everyone was excitedly sharing the joy, and a hint of sweetness lingered in the air.
When everyone looked at Ye Zhenzhen, she could only force a smile.
At this moment, she suddenly looked forward to Yuhui giving her a bouquet of flowers so that she wouldn't be too stand out in front of everyone and could join the crowd to show off her love.
Ye Zhenzhen's cell phone rang.
"Ye Zhenzhen, let's break up!" That breakup message, at a time filled with love, was like an icy sword piercing the heart.
She put away her phone in panic, her heart trembling. She couldn't let her colleagues see this, it would be too embarrassing, too embarrassing...
The chill from nowhere penetrated into her bones, and she was instantly pulled back to the morning when she fell into an ice cave in the north as a child. Endless chill surrounded her, desperately drilling into her limbs, bones, and internal organs.
She didn't remember how she walked through the streets filled with the fragrance of flowers and sweetness, and returned to the attic alone and lonely.
Like most girls who have been broken up with, Ye Zhenzhen kept asking, why? What's wrong with me? Can you tell me? I will change until you are satisfied. As long as you don't leave me, I will do anything.
You are very good, but I am not worthy of you! We are not suitable for each other! Yu Hui said the classic quotes of a scumbag and answered evasively.
"What do you want me to do so that I won't leave you? I can give you my life."
"What do I want with your life?"
Unfortunately for her life, Yuhui is not rare.
Later, Yu Hui was driven into a corner by her persistent questioning and said bluntly:
"If you had three million, I'd stay with you."
She wanted to cry but had no tears. As a cashier who could barely scrape together three thousand a month's salary, how many lifetimes would it take for her to save up three million?
Yu Hui said to her: “Your innocence makes me feel stressed, although I was once attracted by this innocence.
But Ye Zhenzhen, do you understand? Poor people are not worthy of living a simple life, nor are they worthy of having unpolished innocence.
Innocence and beauty are destined to be shattered. For two poor college students like us, it is better for both of us to live realistically. We should wake up earlier while we are still young and everything is still undecided. "
Yu Hui once said that her smile was innocent and carefree, but now that innocence and carelessness turned into a sharp blade, stabbing deeply into her heart.
As countless entangled and unwilling text messages sank to the bottom, and the stubborn obsession to save the relationship gradually subsided, Ye Zhenzhen began to accept the reality that her love was broken and irreparable.
She began to examine her life. People who were in love once thought that love could break everything. It was a sharp blade that cut through all obstacles, and it was Guanyin who saved people from the sea of suffering, and it fulfilled every wish with its indestructible power.
When love faded away, she realized that love was just a butterfly dream, which could not change the situation or save the soul.
A month after the breakup, Yu Hui was about to leave Yuncheng. The night before Yu Hui left, she received a call from Yu Hui, who said nothing but sobbed softly on the other end of the phone.
She felt extremely distressed for Yu Hui's frowned brows even in his sleep, and wanted to smooth out his wrinkles countless times.
She never disliked Yuhui's electric scooter, and sat happily behind him with a bright and innocent smile.
When she didn't have money to take a taxi to a place 20 kilometers away to collect the debt owed to her old classmate, she only took out 100 yuan from the tens of thousands of cash in Yuhui's wallet to take the taxi.
Even after they broke up and knew Yu Hui was about to leave Yuncheng, she still wanted to give Yu Hui a belt as a souvenir.
Ye Zhenzhen cried on the other end of the phone:
"Yuhui, please stop crying. I will be sad if you do this."
"Can I see you one last time..."
Yu Hui suddenly interrupted her:
"Can't!"
When Yu Hui on the other end of the phone refused to see her for the last time, Ye Zhenzhen finally gave up. The man she loved didn't give her roses or surprises on Valentine's Day, nor did he have a candlelight dinner. Instead, he gave her a bolt from the blue, a light breakup text message.
Her love was shattered on Valentine's Day and disappeared the first night Yuhui left Cloud City.
After knowing each other for seven months and being together for two months, her first love and self-esteem, her longings and dreams were shattered into ashes when the spring grass sprouted.
Ye Zhenzhen was determined to make three million. Soon after, she resigned from the supermarket and went to work as a waitress in a KTV, just to make more money. It was said that she only needed to clean, serve tea and water, and order songs, and she didn't have to drink too much, nor would she be taken advantage of by customers. The tips given by customers were her salary, and she could occasionally get high tips.
Money is more important than anything else, more important than anything else! Without selling her body, soul, or breaking the law, making more money seems to be a good choice for her at the moment.
In the early morning, there was the sound of traffic and honking of horns on the road, and the restaurant downstairs was also bustling.
The sun shines through the small attic window, and Ye Zhenzhen wakes up in the hustle and bustle of the world.
The small attic only had a single bed and a small bathroom. Ye Zhenzhen, who was 165 cm tall and weighed less than kg, looked a bit tall in the small attic. She walked very carefully every time, either afraid of hitting her head or worrying about rubbing against the wall.
Fortunately, there is a water heater for taking a shower, and fortunately there is a small attic to stay in. Ordinary young people who have left their hometowns and have no special skills are not qualified to be picky or sensitive.
