Through Thick and Thin
Chapter 3
Lu Chuiqing stared blankly at Zhou Ruiyang, without saying a word for a long while.
Zhou Ruiyang was terrified by his stare, and was about to speak when he saw Lu Chuiqing suddenly lowered his head and splashed cold water on his face.
The cold water dripped into the pool along the tip of Lu Chuiqing's nose. He stared at his blurred reflection in the ripples, and stretched out his hands to look at his skin without any wounds.
Lu Chuiqing straightened up and rolled up her blouse. There was no bloated fat after overeating and fattening after marriage, and there was no sign of pregnancy, only a flat and smooth belly.
Finally, he raised his trembling arms and touched the glands on the back of his neck.
The glands are still intact and have not been marked.
He really went back to seven years ago.
No child, no wish, no marriage, he is still living a life working hard for the future in the ivory tower.
Zhou Ruiyang said cautiously: "Are you okay?"
Lu Chuiqing's expression was in a daze for a moment, since the accident at Zhou Ruiyang's house, he hadn't heard his voice for a long time.What's more, it is still so different, with a young and energetic voice.
Lu Chuiqing didn't answer, he shuffled out of the bathroom, his body was like a rusty gear.He felt that God was teasing him, depriving him of everything he pursued, and now he put the original appearance in front of him.
His expression was in a trance, and his steps seemed to be walking in an unrealistic void.
Lu Chuiqing had been walking out of the hospital gate, the sun was baking on his cheeks, bringing real heat.
His eyes were fixed on the scene in front of him. The wide and neat campus streets, the row upon row of teaching buildings, the young students coming and going, everyone's face was full of vigor and vitality.
He used to be a part of it.
Finally, Lu Chuiqing seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and crouched in front of the hospital, covering her face and choking.Zhou Ruiyang looked at him at a loss, not knowing what happened to Lu Chuiqing, so he walked around him anxiously, trying his best to comfort him.
That night, Lu Chuiqing didn't close her eyes all night.He was lying on the single bed in the dormitory, which was not spacious, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.As soon as he closed his eyes, the terrible car accident appeared in front of his eyes.
He kept looking at the time on his phone, confirming that he was truly living in this world, experiencing everything he had experienced for the second time.
For eight hours at night, Lu Chuiqing thought about many things.He finally had a quiet opportunity to look at his past few years, to look at his relationship with Chen Yuan, to look at what he paid, sacrificed, and what he got.
At dawn the next day, all thoughts calmed down in Lu Chuiqing's mind, turning into a deep breath he exhaled.
At 07:30, Lu Chuiqing woke up without sleepiness.Zhou Ruiyang has to go to his mentor to do projects these days, and his two roommates are also doing internships, so Lu Chuiqing is the only one left in the dormitory.
Lu Chuiqing sat down in front of her desk, and opened the accountant exam review books on the desk.This is the second semester of his first year of graduate school, and it is also the first year he started preparing for the exam. He passed the exam with high scores.
Lu Chuiqing has already figured it out, he no longer thinks hard about the cause and effect of this weird and bizarre situation, and just thinks that God gave him another chance.
Since he is still alive, since he can still sit here, he is not afraid to start over.
Yes, start over.
Lu Chuiqing still misses Chen Yuan and her own child.He wants to say sorry to Chen Yuan, but there are countless possibilities for him now, he will not let himself be so humble anymore.
Now he is still young, without depression or hesitation, he already knows that there is a road he does not want to take, and this time, he will not take this road again.
At least, to become the person he wants to be, he is qualified and confident to pursue other things.
It is not easy for Lu Chuiqing to re-adapt to school life. The heavy review pressure and the homework that he has almost forgotten all made him grit his teeth and force himself to persevere. down.
Back then, he was planning to take the CPA exam in three years and get the certificate, but later he delayed the exam because he married Chen Yuan.This time, he worked hard to complete it after two years of preparation, and set aside more than half a year to prepare for his future.
Lu Chuiqing had to re-adapt to the campus life after seven years as a full-time wife. There was no greeting from neighbors, only classmates who went out early and returned late like him to work hard in the future; There is only a tight study schedule and a library that is always overcrowded.
Zhou Ruiyang felt vaguely in his heart that Lu Chuiqing seemed to be different recently, but he couldn't say exactly what was different.
Zhou Ruiyang thought for a moment, dragged his chair and sat down next to Lu Chuiqing, who was reciting the exam entries, and asked, "I said, buddy, do you really plan to enter this industry in the future?"
"Yes." Lu Chuiqing paused, her voice suddenly softened, her eyes flickered, unfocused, but seemed to see far away, "I have always liked this industry."
Zhou Ruiyang: "Changqing, I think you've...been a little different recently."
When Lu Chuiqing heard Zhou Ruiyang mention this, he felt a little nervous. This was a secret that happened to him, like his protective cover, he would never tell anyone, even his relatives. friends.
Lu Chuiqing pretended to be nonchalant and said with a smile: "Is there?"
Seeing Lu Chuiqing's reaction, Zhou Ruiyang was not sure, and could only attribute it in his heart to the possibility that Lu Chuiqing had been inspired by something recently, as if overnight, he had gained a little more stability and maturity that he couldn't see clearly.
"By the way, the Sheng'an Insurance study project that the school decided before is finally set. It will be next Saturday, and I will study for about a week. I have already signed up." Zhou Ruiyang did not continue this topic, and talked to Lu Chuiqing about the recent school. Postgraduate project, "Are you going too? I remember you said you wanted to go when the project was first planned."
Lu Chuiqing was slightly taken aback. He looked at the date on the phone screen, only to realize that this day had come before he knew it.
Seven years ago, he met Chen Yuan through this project.
Shengan Insurance Company is a well-known multinational insurance group, with good salary and salary, it is an ideal job place for many graduates.
Chen Yuan was the deputy manager of the training department of Shengan Insurance at that time. At that time, Lu Chuiqing and Zhou Ruiyang participated in this research and study project. Chen Yuan personally conducted several trainings for these graduate students.
When meeting Chen Yuan for the first time, Lu Chuiqing had a good impression of him.Chen Yuan is stable and generous, rigorous and conscientious in his work, and he is a gentle and considerate person in every detail of his behavior.
What Lu Chuiqing didn't expect was that it didn't take long for Chen Yuan to take the initiative to contact him, expressing frankly that he liked him, and hoped that Lu Chuiqing could give him a chance to get to know each other and deepen their relationship.
That was the beginning of his relationship with Chen Yuan.
He fell in love with everything Chen Yuan brought him, and also looked forward to their common future.At that time, Lu Chuiqing would never have imagined that he put the shackles on himself and handed over the key to Chen Yuan for safekeeping forever.
Chen Yuan threw away the key directly, and told him gently that he doesn't need to have any worries, he can safely accept his protection and support, and he will give him everything.
Lu Chuiqing never blamed Chen Yuan, because what Chen Yuan wanted was a wife who centered on him and the family. There was nothing wrong with that, but Lu Chuiqing had tried, and he was not suitable for such a role.
Lu Chuiqing lowered her eyes and said quietly: "...I'd better not go."
"Ah? Why?" Zhou Ruiyang was very surprised, "Didn't you say that Sheng'an is also one of your employment goals?"
Lu Chuiqing's eyes drifted: "I... the susceptibility period has arrived."
"Who are you lying to? Isn't your susceptibility period in May?" Although Zhou Ruiyang and Lu Chuiqing have been friends and roommates for many years as a Beta, he certainly knows Lu Chuiqing's susceptibility period clearly, " I urge you to tell me the truth."
Lu Chuiqing: "...well, I don't want to delay my review."
Zhou Ruiyang saw him like this, no matter what the reason was, Lu Chuiqing probably really didn't want to go.Although he was a little disappointed that his friend didn't participate, Lu Chuiqing always had his own reasons, and he didn't force it.
Zhou Ruiyang: "Okay, if I'm selected, I'll bring back some information for you."
Zhou Ruiyang's grade point is very good, and he entered the study program of Sheng'an Insurance very smoothly.On the first night of Zhou Ruiyang's study in Sheng'an, he sent Lu Chuiqing a photo of their group training. Chen Yuan in a suit and leather shoes stood among the students, facing the camera, with a polite smile on his face.
Lu Chuiqing stared at the photo for 10 minutes, and finally saved the photo silently.
Recently, Lu Chuiqing has developed the habit of going to school for running at night, probably because she has lingering fears about her severe weight gain after marriage, so Lu Chuiqing began to pay attention to her diet.
He was walking on the tree-lined road of the campus with a satchel on his back, looking up at the hazy moon hidden in the clouds.
Could it be that because he didn't meet Chen Yuan this time, there are other people around Chen Yuan?
It's been almost a month since Lu Chuiqing returned to seven years ago. Although he felt confused, painful and anxious from time to time during this month, it's not like he couldn't live without Chen Yuan.
In the past, Lu Chuiqing always regarded Chen Yuan as the center of his life, but now it seems that Chen Yuan is indeed a part of his life, but he can never be his whole life.Apart from Chen Yuan, there are countless things he can pursue and think about.
Lu Chuiqing thought in a daze, did he really have to make a wish?
It was absolutely impossible for him to think about this kind of problem in the past.
Finally, Lu Chuiqing sighed deeply.One day in the future, he might meet Chen Yuan again. If at that time he still felt that Chen Yuan was the person he loved the most, then he would pursue his love without hesitation.
But if at that time, he changed, he stood at a higher height, met more people, and met better people, then he would be grateful to Chen Yuan for the touch and love that Chen Yuan brought to him in another life. Joy, courage to face the next hug.
Zhou Ruiyang was terrified by his stare, and was about to speak when he saw Lu Chuiqing suddenly lowered his head and splashed cold water on his face.
The cold water dripped into the pool along the tip of Lu Chuiqing's nose. He stared at his blurred reflection in the ripples, and stretched out his hands to look at his skin without any wounds.
