It's dark at night, and the city's clothes are quietly stained by darkness. Only sporadic lights cast a faint light on the sleeping land, reflecting on the sleeping streets. Occasionally, there were a few laughters in the night sky. They were people who came home late and got drunk, having fun in the hazy night, gently disturbing the quiet night.
The dance floor is still a sea of people, and the beat of music is stirring in the air, like an invisible magician, pulling people to dance in the sea of notes. Under the subtle anesthesia of alcohol, everyone's thoughts on the dance floor were wandering in this hot land, and even gradually disappeared in the hot wind of the dance floor.
Zhang Yunxin felt very tired, almost physically and mentally exhausted. As the night deepened, the classmates gradually dispersed, but she did not have the courage to go to the hotel next door, where she did not want to face Wen Qing, her good friend for four years in college.
She staggered downstairs without anyone accompanying her. Her heart felt like lead, her steps were falling with every step, and she didn't have the courage to face those familiar eyes.
Zhang Yunxin walked downstairs sadly, her body stumbling along with her thoughts. She did not accept anyone's company.
She booked a taxi on the mobile taxi-hailing app before going downstairs. When the driver arrived, she sat in the back seat unable to suppress her sadness and couldn't help but cover her face and burst into tears.
The driver felt the atmosphere was strange and asked cautiously: "Little girl, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
It was late at night, and at the door of the nightclub, there was a beautiful young woman in front of her, covering her face and crying sadly.
This picture alone is enough to make people suspicious. This driver is really a warm-hearted and kind person!
Seeing that Zhang Yunxin didn't answer, the driver asked again: "Little girl, don't be afraid. The evil in this world cannot defeat justice. If you have just been wronged or bullied, we can call the police." , I can accompany you."
How could Zhang Yunxin not understand the true meaning of the driver's words? He clearly saw himself crying like this and was worried that he had just been bullied, so he wanted to take him to the police to seek justice.
Zhang Yunxin shook her head and cried, "No, thank you, Master! We have a graduation party today, and I feel reluctant to part with it, so I cried."
Hearing Zhang Yunxin say this, the driver finally felt relieved. Then, while waiting for the traffic light to turn green, he threw the tissue into the back seat and continued to drive intently.
Zhang Yunxin was filled with emotions. There were indeed many good people in the world. What about herself? Can she be considered a good person or a bad person?
Zhang Yunxin sat leaning against the car window. She cast her gaze deeply toward the street outside the window, feeling boundless regret deep in her heart.
She was once Wen Qing's best friend, sharing laughter, secrets and dreams with each other.
However, because of her temporary jealousy and selfishness, she destroyed this extremely precious friendship. She betrayed Wen Qing. She knew clearly that Wen Qing had no experience in love. She also knew that Wen Qing was most likely going through something terrible in the hotel room at this moment, but she still chose to do so. You must continue on the path you choose, even if you cry or kneel.
During her four years of college life, Wen Qing cared for her like a sister. Although her birthday was older than Wen Qing's, Wen Qing was so beautiful...
These memories appeared before her eyes like a movie.
When she first came to study in City B, Zhang Yunxin was full of wonder and desire to explore this new world. At that time, she was not as beautiful, fashionable and elegant as she is now.
At that time, Zhang Yunxin was not called by this name, but was bound by an outdated name - Zhang Ling. This name, like her previous fate of poverty, haunted her.
Whenever she heard others using the old-fashioned name "Ling" to point fingers, she remembered those harsh sarcasms, as if needles were piercing her heart...
She once heard a senior sister comment mercilessly: "As soon as you hear the name Zhang Ling, you can tell which small place it comes from."
For her, the name Zhang Ling is a shame, a bondage, and a shadow that she wants to get rid of.
Later, she thought of many ways, and after countless struggles and struggles, she finally found the opportunity to change her destiny and completely erase the name "Zhang Ling" from her life. In her household registration book, "Zhang Ling" became her previous name, and the new name "Zhang Yunxin" officially became a new chapter in her life.
Suddenly moving from that unknown small county town to a big city, Zhang Yunxin felt novel and excited about everything she didn't know. Her understanding of the world is almost blank, and she even made many jokes. At that time, she was naive and simple at best, but stupid and earthy at worst.
At that time, only Wen Qing would stand up to defend her. Although people around her always took pleasure in making fun of her, Wen Qing had never done so and would even advise everyone to be kind to her classmates. Wen Qing was her first warm feeling in this school and this city. She even treats her better than her family does!
Zhang Yunxin's so-called family members are always thinking about how to squeeze out the remaining value from her, but Wen Qing is not stingy with her.
Everyone listens to Wen Qing. She always speaks in a gentle voice, but she has a strong sense of power.
Zhang Yunxin is always filled with emotion. It turns out that only rich people can gain a foothold in this society. This sense of strength filled her with longing and yearning for the future, and also inspired her to keep moving forward.
In this real society, we cannot blame others for being too snobbish, because money is often the first condition for gaining respect from others. I would like to ask, when faced with your poverty, vulgarity, philistinism and selfishness, how can others understand and affirm your abilities through these characteristics? Moreover, in this world, excluding the factors of natural and man-made disasters, most poverty is often caused by personal laziness or other bad habits.
Therefore, the contempt the rich have for the poor is not simply looking down upon their poverty, but showing disdain for the characteristics that lead to poverty.
Zhang Yunxin had her own thoughts deep in her heart, but she never revealed them to anyone.
She gradually understood that in this world, everyone lives with a mask, and the true heart does not necessarily need to be shown to everyone. However, Wen Qing was an exception. She did not look down on Zhang Yunxin because of her background. The two were tired of being together all day long and were inseparable.
After the military training of her freshman year, Wen Qing did not live on campus anymore. Instead, she bought an apartment not far from the school entrance and moved into it.
As Wen Qing's loyal follower, Zhang Yunxin naturally moved into the apartment with her. However, sometimes she feels more like Wen Qing's maid, just like those maids who served young ladies in ancient times. This idea is not groundless, because others also feel that the relationship between Zhang Yunxin and Wen Qing is like that of master and servant.
In fact, Wen Qing had never thought about it this way, and she didn't know that Zhang Yunxin actually thought of herself this way. In Wen Qing's heart, they are more like close friends, with no barriers or distance between them.
She never regarded Zhang Yunxin as a maid or follower, but was sincerely grateful to her for accompanying her through the time of adapting to the new environment. In Wen Qing's view, the friendship between them is pure and sincere, without any entanglement or trade-off of interests.
Zhang Yunxin's eyes were full of pain and unwillingness. She imagined that if she stood in Wen Qing's position, she should be able to live peacefully in the years to come.
If she were a carefree, aloof young lady with a spacious mansion and a luxurious life, she believed that her heart would be as pure and beautiful as an angel. Every morning, she would wake up in a mansion of hundreds or thousands of square meters, wear a palace lace nightgown, say hello to the cute birds, and say hello to the warm sun.
However, these are just fantasies to her. She could never do it. She was not Wen Qing, or even Zhang Yunxin. She was Zhang Ling - the Zhang Ling who had struggled silently for many years in a small town in the county, the Zhang Ling whose parents often quarreled and lived in poverty.
Under the cover of night, Zhang Yunxin returned to her newly rented apartment lightly. This is her safe haven, a product of her meager income and compromise with the world. Although this apartment belongs to her, it is also a shared space between her and other people. It is shared, but they can each find their own position in the battle of life.
Without waking up the other people in the quiet apartment, Zhang Yunxin walked into her cabin silently. The air in the room was filled with heavy silence, with only her slight breathing lingering in the air. She didn't light the lamp or break the silence. She just used the dim light outside the window and walked to her little bed in a familiar way.
Without changing out of her daytime clothes, she fell tiredly onto the bed. The quilt on her body seemed to be a line of defense, isolating her from the world. However, the pain and struggle in her heart surged towards her like a tide at this moment, which was unstoppable.
Zhang Yunxin's body trembled in the darkness, and the quilt soaked with tears became the traces of her silent tears. Her heart was troubled by endless thoughts, like thousands of troops running wildly but unable to find an exit. She struggled helplessly in the dark night, unable to calm down. Every thought was like a sharp sword, penetrating her heart and making her miserable.
That night, she didn't close her eyes, letting endless thoughts and pain overwhelm her.
Soon, the sky became a little brighter. When the dawn begins to spread in the east, the faint white fish belly seems to indicate the beginning of a new day.
