Life is more than just living

Han Yidao took Chen Xu's hand and said: "Chen Xu, although it is a tragedy that I was replaced at birth, meeting you is enough to make up for it. Chen Xu, I am lucky to have you. Will you marry me?"

Chen Xu looked at Han Yidao and hesitated for a moment. But she finally mustered up the courage: "I do." Han Yidao's eyes were moist, and he tried to open them wide to prevent tears from falling, "Chen Xu, it's great to have you! You are the direction of my efforts. I am so ashamed of myself I have been cowardly and retreated." Chen Xu shook his head, "I have also given up, so we should not blame ourselves and each other for not persevering. That may not have been the only choice at the time, but at least we have seen our own clearly through the period of separation. Our hearts have chosen each other again."

Han Yidao took out a household registration book from his pocket and said: Pick a good day and let's go to the marriage registration office to get the certificate first. Once the deal is done, no one will jump out to object, and they won't force me to divorce again! I want to hold the wedding next year so I can have time to prepare. Do you think that’s okay? Chen Xu nodded. There are too many things to do now and he is not in the mood to hold a wedding.

Chen Xu asked him, when did you bring your household registration book? Han Yidao said he got it when he went back to transfer the house a few days ago. He said with some shame: "It was a bit embarrassing, so I proposed with my household registration book. I sold the shares in the electrical company and electrical appliance store to Ma Mingchuan to pay off the debt, and the money from selling the house also paid off the debt. I don't have much money now, and I don't even have a decent house." I can’t even afford a ring.”

Chen Xu looked at Han Yidao seriously, "Yidao, I don't want a ring. I don't like it! I won't follow the Western wedding culture. Use the money in meaningful places! You know, I was originally a poor man , which pays more attention to practicality, and I don’t like the ritualistic one." Han Yidao put Chen Xu into his arms, "Chen Xu, I know you are a unique girl. But I am an ordinary man, and I don’t want to appear You are so incompetent, I want to give you everything other women have."

When Cheng Qi heard what Chen Xu said about Han Yidao's proposal, she was extremely excited. She shouted excitedly: "Mr. Han is so powerful. It's so cute to propose with your household registration book!" Zhao Yuhan advised her next to Cheng Qi, "Calm down. One point, why are you so excited about Mr. Han's proposal?" Chen Xu also laughed here, "How excited were you as a party when your husband proposed to you?" Cheng Qi curled her lips, "Don't mention that guy's proposal. It’s really hard to put into words, it was a huge rollover scene.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu and Zhao Yuhan's curiosity was aroused, and they asked Cheng Qi to talk about what happened. Cheng Qi said awkwardly: "There are causes and consequences to this matter. Forget it, don't talk about it." Zhao Yuhan Chen Xu refused to comply and insisted that Cheng Qi talk about it. He also demanded that he could not cut corners and must start from the beginning. Cheng Qi said helplessly:

During the graduation season, Cheng Qi is about to finish her internship and return to school. Cheng Qi, who has never been very diligent, suddenly became busy. She is busy writing internship reports and checking information online every day. Cheng Qi originally said that she would ask people from the company to write the internship report, but Cheng Qi knew that Zhang Jiaqi and the others wrote it themselves. Cheng Qi did not want people in the company to look down on her and thus embarrass Cheng Cheng, so she insisted on writing it herself because she had no practical experience during the internship. It was a lot of work, so it was difficult to write. It took several days to finish, but Zhang Jiaqi finished it during a lunch break. Cheng Qi felt guilty when she printed out the report and took it to the company to have it stamped, because she had never done any of the work mentioned in the report, and was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, she was very successful, so she directly asked where to stamp it, and then said nothing. He stamped the report without saying anything and did not read the report carefully.

In the last semester, I took my internship report and went back to school to prepare for my graduation thesis and defense. I was still very busy. I struggled a lot with choosing a topic for my thesis, and finally settled on one. Halfway through, I couldn’t continue writing, so I had to change the topic. Fortunately, the college hadn’t confirmed it yet. This time Cheng Qi spent every day in the library, saying that she would graduate smoothly. She often receives small advertisements from professional writers, saying they can write papers or undertake plagiarism checking work. Cheng Qi knew that these people were working for money. Although she was not short of money, she wanted to graduate on her own strength, otherwise she would not be able to succeed. Cheng Qi regrets that she doesn't study hard in normal times. It's a blessing in heaven. She doesn't work hard in normal times, but now she has to work overtime. Fortunately, Cheng Qi’s paper passed successfully after several revisions.

Parting is about to begin, let’s take a look at the three roommates: Zhang Tiantian and Chen Xuezheng, the best friends, are inseparable. They were together when they were working, and they applied for a company together through campus recruitment when they graduated. After two failed relationships, Zou Rui turned her grief into strength and finally passed the postgraduate entrance examination and was admitted to a prestigious university in Shanghai. Cheng Qi couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Some people are just passers-by in your life. Even if you live in the same dormitory for three or four years, it won't change this fact. I'm afraid it will be difficult to have intersections after graduation.

Because Chengqi was really busy every day during her internship, and Chengqi was also busy with her graduation thesis, so she didn't take the initiative to call Chenggong even once after returning to school. What she meant was that after graduating successfully, she could return to Chenggong immediately and stay together forever. So even if she successfully called her, Cheng Qi would understand his hard work, say a few words to ask him to pay attention to his body and rest on time, then hang up.

On the eve of the graduation ceremony, Chen Xuezheng suggested that the four of them have a dinner together. Cheng Qi originally thought she would go out to eat, but the other three people unanimously requested to eat in the small canteen where Cheng Qi went every day. Chen Xuezheng announced in advance that everyone ordered two dishes when they arrived. Zou Rui was still busy drinking, so she ordered another box of beer. Cheng Qi said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I can't drink. I promised my brother not to drink." Chen Xuezheng smiled, "What a good boy, don't drink if you don't want to! She's still young, let's just drink. !" After a few bottles of beer, everyone started talking more. Zhang Tiantian burped and said: "Cheng Qi, I know you don't have the bad habits of rich girls in legend, but I don't like you. Tell me why you have such a good life? Chen Xuezheng and I fight for a few dollars every day. We worked here and there for ten yuan, and it was only after we graduated that we came here to eat for the first time, and you had three meals a day here. Your daily life is the source of our envy, jealousy, and hatred, but you have no idea. Tell me about you , It’s really annoying and hateful.” Chen Xuezheng pulled Zhang Tiantian and told her not to say anything. Cheng Qi never knew that just going to the canteen to eat could arouse people's hatred. She looked confused.

Zou Rui also smiled bitterly, "Cheng Qi, now I know you didn't mean it, but don't you know how painful it is for us poor people to live in the same dormitory with you? You crushed us just after the freshman year, and you are ignorant and helpless Sleep. I used my New Year’s money to buy a second-hand desktop computer, but what you brought was the latest laptop. Later I secretly checked online and found that what you took out at random cost more than 10,000 yuan. When school started, you One person brought three mobile phones. It took me two months to realize that that mobile phone was the dream of many college students, and you could have three of them. Chen Xuezheng was ill. In addition to the money to recharge the meal card, the three of us combined I collected a few hundred yuan, but you swiped a few thousand yuan with your card as if it was just a few yuan. Later I heard that your brother even bought you a house on campus so that you could go to school. Although the house here is not big. , but I know the house price here, just a few hundred thousand for a house. Yes! I know you don’t mean to run against us, but I just hate the rich. You don’t like the food we give you, the barrels in the dormitory You don’t want to drink water. You don’t want water after a few sips from a bottle of water. You have money and you can be willful, but have you ever thought about how uncomfortable and sad other people feel!” Chen Xuezheng grabbed Zhang Tiantian but could not stop Zou Rui, so he had to give Zou Rui poured the wine and said, "Come on, let's go one more time." intending to change the topic of Zou Rui. Unexpectedly, Zou Rui picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp before continuing the topic, "I know you are a proud daughter of heaven and you are better at raising children than us, but why do you have to make us feel ashamed! Did we provoke you? You are obviously the one You are a little carrot, but top students from the law school have been chasing you for three or four years. Why are you taking all the good ones? Do you exist just to show how pitiful and ridiculous we are?"

Chen Xuezheng couldn't stop Cheng Qi, so he had to smile at Cheng Qi, "They both drank too much. They don't even know what they said. Don't take it to heart."

Cheng Qi looked at the three of them and thought for a while. She didn't want to say it at first, since they wouldn't have any intersection in the future anyway. But she really didn't think about what Zhang Tiantian and Zou Rui were thinking. She scratched her head, helped the three of them pour beer, poured a glass herself, toasted everyone, and then said as if she had made up her mind. : "I'm sorry, three classmates, I didn't know that my existence has caused you trouble. In fact, I haven't had any friends since I was in elementary school. Because I was young at the time, everyone didn't play with me and thought I was naive. I went to school After college, I thought that people didn’t want to date me because I was too young. Although I don’t know what I did wrong, I felt sorry for making everyone feel uncomfortable. My brother took care of everything and prepared everything for me. , so I had no idea about money. My brother prepared a laptop and a mobile phone. I didn’t know how much they cost. I bought three mobile phones because I was afraid that the phone would run out of battery and not be able to contact me. And I was young at the time, so I didn’t know how much it cost. On the way to college that day, my brother specifically told me not to eat what others give me. So it’s not that I don’t like the food you give me. It’s because I listen too much to my brother’s words and can’t adapt. I’m sorry; because my brother is in business. The environment is not simple. He told me not to drink water out of my sight, so sometimes I don’t want the opened water after it is out of my sight. I don’t know that my behavior will make you unhappy. As for coming to this cafeteria to eat, it’s Because the first meal I had at this school on my first day of school was brought here by my brother, I have been coming here habitually. You don’t usually interact with me much, so you don’t know each other very well, and you don’t like it. It doesn’t matter to me, it doesn’t matter if you hate me, I don’t care about any of this, I’m used to it. But after all, we have been roommates for nearly four years, and I am really sorry for hurting everyone invisibly. I am not a rich second generation, it is my brother who is working hard to make money. He gave me a better life. Because my brother took good care of me, and I was relatively young when I went to college, so I misbehaved. Please forgive me." Everyone did not expect Cheng Qi to lower her attitude. There is no arrogance at all.

Several people were surprised when they heard Cheng Qi's words. They had never heard Cheng Qi say so many words in one breath.

After drinking, Zou Rui stopped pretending to be serious and asked, "Hey, Cheng Qi, I'm curious about what the life of the rich is like. Does your family have many servants?" Cheng Qi smiled, "No. I don't I know what a real rich life is like, but my brother and I live a very simple life: we clean our own house, cook and wash our own clothes.”

Zhang Tiantian also came over, "So, you two brothers are nouveau riche, not nobles. You don't know how to enjoy life!" Chen Xuezheng was really embarrassed. How could these two people say this! Cheng Qi didn't feel dissatisfied, "My brother became rich in a short period of time. He is definitely a nouveau riche."

By the end of the dinner, all three people except Cheng Qi were drunk. Cheng Qi paid the bill and led the three of them back stumblingly along the way.

On the day of the graduation ceremony, the students came to the school auditorium. Even Cheng Qi, who had little contact with other classmates, became much more easy-going. Everyone looked solemn in their uniform academic robes. When the whole class took a group photo together, Cheng Qi's still childish face smiled slightly. She wanted to take a beautiful graduation photo and take it back to show Chenggong. After taking photos, everyone entered the auditorium in an orderly manner. As the host started the show and the audience stood up to sing the national anthem, Cheng Qi suddenly found herself feeling inexplicably melancholy. Next, the leaders of the school spoke, teacher representatives spoke, and graduate representatives spoke. Cheng Qi found that she was somewhat out of touch with the atmosphere of the venue. I don’t have any ideas about my future and just want to fly back and throw myself into the embrace of success. Isn’t it too promising? She was ashamed of her lack of ambition, and felt ashamed of the teachers' teachings and the school leaders' expectations for the graduates. Then I thought, I am an ordinary person, so don’t insist on completing any great mission. Living your life well is also a contribution to society. Next, the student representatives who were awarded degrees walked to the stage. At this solemn moment, only some outstanding student representatives could be awarded graduation certificates and degree certificates by the principal in person. Because there were too many students, the rest of the students had already gathered in various places before the graduation ceremony. The college received it.

At the end of the ceremony, the students took photos in groups of twos and threes. Cheng Qi felt that the whole class had taken a group photo, so she walked out, preparing to find a quiet place to call Chenggong to announce the good news. She didn't go far when she saw Lin Zihao coming to her and asking for a photo. Cheng Qi hesitated for a moment, then agreed. Lin Zihao handed his cell phone to a passing classmate and asked for help. When the phone was returned, Lin Zihao looked at the photos and said to Cheng Qi: "School girl, I have passed the Longcheng City Court Examination. Come and play with me when you have time. Now your brother is going to become your husband, so I, a person with no hope of becoming a husband, can I be your brother?" Cheng Qi looked around and said to him: "Senior, your academic uniform is much prettier than mine." Lin Zihao sighed helplessly, his passion was always hurt ruthlessly , it turns out that being a brother is a luxury, because he doesn’t want to interact with him at all.

Cheng Qi said goodbye to Lin Zihao and turned around to go back to the dormitory to pack her things. But she saw Chenggong, wearing a gray suit, standing not far away, looking at her with complicated eyes. Cheng Qi wanted to appear calm and walked over slowly, but was defeated by the joy brought by this surprise. The corners of her mouth became wider and wider. She walked up to Chenggong and handed over the degree certificate and graduation certificate that were connected together. Successfully took it solemnly, and Cheng Qi looked at him with some distress. Not being able to go to college has always been a pain in Success's heart. It was already June and the weather was a bit hot, but Chenggong came dressed formally in a suit and ties to witness Cheng Qi's graduation. Cheng Qi is surrounded by happiness. She has been by Cheng Qi's side for seventeen years. She has grown from a little beggar to the bachelor Cheng Qi she is today. The things in between are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Cheng Qi graduated, and she could finally hold the hand of Success openly and openly. The two of them walked around the campus for a while, and there were people taking pictures everywhere wearing academic uniforms. Cheng Qi took out her mobile phone and politely asked the passing boy to take a photo of herself and Cheng Qi. Cheng Qi felt a little hot and remembered that she was still wearing her bachelor's uniform. She told Chenggong that she wanted to return the clothes because they were rented. He successfully stopped him and said, "I don't need the deposit. I'll keep these clothes as a souvenir."

At this point, Cheng Qi sighed, "Hey, what happens next is really embarrassing."
