Leying pushed a cart full of packed clothes up the slope.
In the clothing wholesale market underground at the train station, the long ramp made her exhausted every time. To make matters worse, maybe the bundles were not strong this time, and a large bag of clothes rolled down the ramp. go. She stopped in the middle of the slope, not knowing whether to stop picking up clothes or push the cart to the top of the slope first.
The bag of clothes was rolling to a person's feet. Le Ying shouted down: "I'm sorry I bumped into you. Please help me take a look first."
The man hesitated for a moment, but he still moved the bag smoothly. He walked up the ramp, put the clothes on Le Ying's cart, and then worked with her to push the cart up. Le Ying put down the car in his hand, wiped the sweat from his head, raised his head and said "thank you" to the man.
The man opposite did not speak, but kept staring at her. Then, he suddenly said: "You...are Le Ying, right?"
Le Ying patted the dust on his body. The man in front of him was wearing glasses. Wearing suits and leather shoes, he looks quite like a social elite. It took a lot of effort for her to find the corresponding person in the warehouse of memory. "Ah, Chen Zhenyi."
Meeting her college classmates in such an embarrassing situation, Le Ying was a little embarrassed. She smiled and said, "Thank you, old classmate, I will treat you to dinner another day."
Chen Zhenyi's eyes flashed with surprise. Guang, jokingly said: "You don't have any sincerity in what you say. There won't be that day another day. It's better to choose a day than to hit it. I'm hungry, let's go eat noodles together."
There are many fly restaurants near the train station. Leying took him to a ramen restaurant. Chen Zhenyiyu ordered a plate of beef and a portion of broccoli. They each ordered a bowl of ramen and chatted with the noisy crowd and greasy table around them.
When she was in college, Le Ying was good at singing and dancing, and her family was well off. She was the dream lover in the eyes of many boys. Some of them pursued her with great fanfare, while others loved her implicitly and passionately.
Chen Zhenyi belongs to the latter. He writes a love letter to Le Ying every week. He has good writing skills and beautiful handwriting. Even the way Le Ying flips his hair is so cute. Le Ying is very moved every time he reads it. However, Chen Zhenyi, who comes from a northern county, is introverted and not outstanding in appearance, so he is not Le Ying's ideal type. In the end, she packaged his love letters and sent them back to him, ending his wishful love.
Le Ying later found a senior who was handsome and from a good family. His parents also knew Le Ying’s parents, so they were a good match. The two got married as soon as Le Ying graduated. She knew that many classmates called her snobbish and realistic behind her back, but she didn't care.
But things are constantly changing. Not long after graduation, Leying's father, who was the vice president of a real estate company, was banned due to financial problems. His mother could not bear the sudden blow and passed away. Before Le Ying could wipe away her tears, her husband filed for divorce again. Fortunately, they had no children and could easily separate.

Changes came one after another, leaving her no time to breathe, so she had to accept them all. Originally, she relied on her father's relationship to teach in a technical secondary school. After her father's accident, her school colleagues and leaders criticized her. Later, she simply resigned and opened a children's clothing store. If I don’t have money to represent branded children’s clothing, I wholesale some clothes from the clothing wholesale market at the train station, and then sell them online and offline at the same time.
Life forced her to lower her head and crawl forward in the dirt. Therefore, although the class group has been very lively since graduation, Le Ying is the most silent one. She has never revealed her current life to her classmates. What can
have to say? To be miserable or to win sympathy? Life is not about knowing one's own ups and downs. If you tell it, apart from becoming someone else's gossip, apart from receiving worthless pity and some inexplicable and unexplained schadenfreude, what else can you get?
Chen Zhenyi prospered after graduation. He first worked in a securities company, and then opened a company in partnership with his friends.Compared with most of the classmates in the class who were still working for others, this boy who was silent and introverted back then became a boss and achieved a perfect counterattack.
Sure enough, life is like chess, unpredictable. Leying sighed that day while unpacking and registering.
WeChat beeped: Beauty, remember to hang that shiny silver-gray down jacket in the C position. Shiny colors are popular this year. Also, that purple velvet vest should be hung in a conspicuous place. It’s a hot item this year, so you’re right.
Wholesaler Lao Zhou is getting more and more nagging. Le Ying replied with a "thank you" and began to hang up the clothes. It was already nine o'clock in the evening when everything was done. She bought a sesame seed cake at the door, ate it with the lukewarm water in the cup, and started working on Taobao again.
Life forces people to grow up. Once upon a time, she was such a proud girl. She never thought that one day she would kiss strangers online and be ecstatic about selling a piece of clothes.
Chen Zhenyi began to come to Le Ying frequently, pursuing her blatantly, sending her flowers, expensive cosmetics, bags and clothes, but Le Ying stopped her. She said, "Look at how busy I am now, how can I have time to take care of myself."
Her hair was tied back casually, and her face looked old and tired due to staying up late and lack of maintenance. . It had been five years since they graduated, and Le Ying was only twenty-six or seven, but now, she was no longer what he remembered.
Chen Zhenyi sighed in his heart, but pretended to be relaxed and said: "You are a woman, why do you make yourself so tired."
Le Ying gave him a helpless smile: "I have to live first." Look at him She hesitated to speak, but immediately said: "No, you must never say that you support me."

When she was a teenager, Le Ying relied on the protection of her family. They gave her a princess-like life, so that she never knew The world is suffering. After graduation, she relies on her husband, who provides her with material things that she never lacks. But when disaster strikes, everything that belongs to her is gone, and in the end she can only rely on herself.
While helping her hang up the ironed clothes, Chen Zhenyi said: "Next week will be the fifth anniversary reunion of our class. We agreed to get together every year when we graduated. In so many years, you have never attended. The class monitor knows that I am with you. When contacted, they all said that they must let you go this time. "
Le Ying said: "I didn't mean not to go, it was because I had something to do. "
She knew that others thought she was marrying well. I live a happy life, so I am aloof and disdain to get together with my classmates. But he didn't know that she really had difficulties.
Chen Zhenyi said: "Go, I will accompany you this time."
Le Ying thought for a while and said "Okay".
The class reunion was held at a relatively luxurious hotel in this city. When Le Ying and Chen Zhenyiyu appeared together that night, it still caused quite a stir. The male classmates all slapped Chen Zhenyi meaningfully, with a probing smile: "Okay, you kid, you actually come with our beautiful girl Le Ying." The female classmates were relatively reserved, praising Le Ying's beautiful clothes, including The bag looks good. There were still female classmates who were not rich enough to ask: "Le Ying, isn't it allowed to bring family members? Where is your husband?"
She looked at their probing eyes, took a sip of water, and said lightly: "We left early."
After a moment of awkward silence, the clever female classmate raised her glass and said, "It's good to be divorced. Are we Leying afraid that we can't find a better one?"
Leying looked at Chen Zhenyi, who was talking easily among his classmates. His career was The most gorgeous robe for a man, he got rid of his restraint and shyness and became decent, dignified, stable and elegant. Several female classmates who were not yet married looked at Chen Zhenyi with implicit eagerness to try.
Because Le Ying did not attend the class reunion after graduation, the monitor proposed to punish Le Ying with three cups. Le Ying was about to accept the punishment, but Chen Zhenyi grabbed the wine glass and said, "Don't make it difficult for a girl. She doesn't know how to drink. I drank on her behalf.""
Amid the booing of the crowd, Chen Zhenyi drank three drinks in a row... Finally, Chen Zhenyi drank too much, and the squad leader gave Le Ying the task of sending him home.
She called Didi and sat side by side with Chen Zhenyi. In the back seat. The car slid like a fish on the empty street in the middle of the night. He rested his head on her lap and murmured: "Why didn't you promise me in the first place? Do you know how hard I work to be able to stand with you? Have you ever regretted your original choice? "
He talked about this while drunk, but she had no way to answer. Le Ying asked herself: Have you ever regretted it?
No, she has never regretted it. At that moment, the senior was her best choice, regardless of her family background. It was a spiritual connection. They once went to Japan to see cherry blossoms and watch the sunset on the San Francisco Sea Bridge. The happiness at that moment was enough to last her entire life. No one could predict what would happen next. . Who can stand in the present and point fingers at the past? She can only follow her own heart.

Leying’s Taobao store received malicious negative reviews. The buyer sometimes said the quality was poor, and sometimes said . Formaldehyde has a strong smell, so I advise everyone not to buy her clothes.
Although Leying’s clothes come from the wholesale market, the quality is absolutely guaranteed. She was so angry that she complained to Chen Zhenyi, He asked: “How much money do you earn from this in a month? "
She said a number, and he said, "Why should I be so angry? How about you go back to school and teach. I know the principal of a technical school..."
Before he could finish, Leying interrupted him and said, "I quite like how I am now, free and unrestrained. "
Chen Zhenyi ruffled her hair: "You are still so stubborn. "
The negative review was like a fly in Le Ying's heart. She couldn't help but tell Lao Zhou, who said: "You won't walk if you step on dog poop? There are all kinds of birds in the forest. You should report it to Taobao customer service immediately. First, the bad reviews will be deleted. Second, you will seriously explain to the customers that if you have a glass heart, don’t do this job. "
Lao Zhou never has anything nice to say. After hearing this, Ke Ke Ying couldn't help but feel enlightened.
Speaking of which, Le Ying could not do what he is today without Lao Zhou's guidance. At that time, she had just gone When it comes to wholesale clothes in the wholesale market, I don’t know the depth of the water. The shop next to me almost sold her clothes wholesale at the retail price, but Lao Zhou waved his hand and said: "Well, it’s not easy for a little girl. You." Just stop bullying her. "
Lao Zhou is divorced and single. Although he is a bit glib, he has a good heart.
A few days after the class reunion, a female classmate in the class who had always had a good relationship with Le Ying contacted Le Ying on WeChat and asked: "They all said that you and Le Ying Are Chen Zhenyi together?
Le Ying was noncommittal and just said: "What's wrong?" "
female classmate said: "I heard that he has been single for so many years after graduation because of you. However, I also heard something from others. I heard that the boys in Chen Zhenyi’s dormitory once made a bet, saying that whoever can catch up with you will be the boss of the dormitory, and the people in the dormitory will contract him for a year. breakfast. "
Le Ying did not expect that there would be such a version of him chasing her. But she no longer cares about the emotional details. As long as she can reach the destination, what does it matter where she started from?

Le Ying Inviting Chen Zhenyi to go with her to the wholesale market at the train station, Chen Zhenyi readily agreed without saying a word.
At 5:30 the next morning, Le Ying and Chen Zhenyi had already arrived at the wholesale market on the underground floor of the train station. When she woke up, the place was already bustling with people. Le Ying took Chen Zhenyiyu to the wholesale points where she often went. Her hair was disheveled, and she was discussing this year's new clothes loudly with others, and was stingy at other times. After bargaining with the shop owner, she took out her calculator, clicked it, and said with a slightly flattering smile: "Boss, please wipe off the change for me. We are old friends, and I will come to your place to buy goods next time."
She dragged her big luggage bag, packed the selected clothes quickly, and dragged it onto the luggage trolley .
When she arrived at Lao Zhou's shop, Lao Zhou raised his eyebrows and asked: "Hey, big beauty, this is Your little boyfriend? "
Leying said "Bah", "Stop talking nonsense, this is my college classmate, come here to experience life. " She was wittily chatting with Lao Zhou while picking and choosing quickly.
Chen Zhenyi was dazzled by the sight, even a little dazed. The woman in front of him was still not the Le Ying he knew.
After several hours of hard work, Le Ying finally ended the fight before eleven o'clock.
She was still eating noodles at the noodle shop. She was so hungry that she slurped down her meal. After that, she wiped her hands and pinned her messy hair. Behind his ears, he said with a wry smile: "Zhenyi, do you see clearly? This is who I am now, this is my life. I am no longer the happy person I used to be. My dad was sentenced to ten years. There will be stains on me that will never be washed away. I will definitely have to support him after he is released from prison. This is why I work so hard. No matter what others do No matter how you look at him, he will always be my dad. Are you sure that I am still the Leying you like? "
Chen Zhenyi was hit by Le Ying's words. After a long while, he said: "You don't know, you were once the goddess in the hearts of all us boys.
Le Ying said: "The goddess is just a figment of your imagination. Which goddess doesn't need to eat, drink, have sex, or calculate daily necessities?" After a pause, he said, "Zhenyi, we are not suitable. Don't come to me again in the future." "
She got up, paid the bill, and drove away in her shabby minivan.

Chen Zhenyi never came to see her again, nor did he chat with her on WeChat. One night, he sent a message Photos of Ying dancing solo on stage when she was in college.
html Photos from the 1900s. Under the bright lights, the white swan she played was noble and cool, like an unattainable dream.
However, after the performance, she finally fell from the clouds. , from a white swan to an ugly duckling.
It is not that she is not moved. Because of his infatuation and perseverance over the years, maybe marrying Chen Zhenyiyu will be a good choice for him. There is three points of admiration for her. The curiosity caused by the distance, the pity for her at the moment, and the satisfaction of vanity.
But when they face each other day and night, can his feelings for her still withstand the test of trivial life. ? He never understood her. Just like he had written so many love letters to her, he praised her intellectual beauty for wearing black-rimmed glasses, but he didn't know that she had to wear them just because of my shortsightedness. I brought her so many meat skewers, but I didn’t know that she hadn’t eaten mutton since she was a child.
And Leying had been in reality, and she had always known that understanding is deeper and longer than love.
She deliberately exaggerated. She deduced her vulgar and worldly side in front of Chen Zhenyi, completely shattering the myth he had built in his imagination. Now, he can finally let go and turn around to pursue his own happiness. For him, this is nothing. A kind of relief? And for her, it was also a kind of fulfillment.
She looked at the photo for a while and clicked to delete it.
Two years later, Le Ying saw Chen Zhenyi again, sitting with Lao Zhou in the mall. The stairs went down, and Chen Zhenyi went up along the elevator next to him. The moment they passed each other, she recognized him. She wanted to call him, but she saw him glance across her face, and then turned his head away without looking away. .
He no longer remembered her.
She smiled mockingly, and Lao Zhou next to her pulled her down the elevator and said, "Is she your former lover? Don't look at it, I think I'm much more handsome than him. "
She kicked him, and he yelled exaggeratedly.
Yes, she still chose Lao Zhou. He had seen her struggling in the mud and had walked hand in hand with her. She was not his goddess. , but he is a fellow traveler.
He is her best and most realistic choice at the moment.
