I was stunned. I didn’t expect that my words would actually touch Zhang Yin. She shook the wine glass in her hand. The dim light and the broken hair on her forehead covered her eyes, making it difficult for me to see her gaze clearly. .
I smiled dumbly. I didn't expect that this strong woman would reveal her vulnerable side in front of me without any reservation.
The look on her face was a little complicated, and she took a sip of wine. After a while, she returned to normal.
I thought hard about how to comfort her, smiled bitterly, and sighed:
"Actually, I think life is about balance. Not only is love a balance, but so is life. We are destined to be unable to escape from work and life. If you invest too much in your career, your career may be successful, but you ignore it. If you have a family, you can make money again if you don’t have money, but I think family and health are the cornerstones of a person’s success.”
Zhang Yin showed a wry smile, and her smile was empty: "Nowadays, the pace of life is so fast and so busy. If you don't work hard, you may fall behind others at any time."
I silently picked up the wine glass, and an indescribable helplessness surged from the bottom of my heart.
My parents have taught me this sentence since I was a child. Over time, it seems that falling behind others becomes a failure. We are driven forward by the fast-paced life. Mortgage, car loan, and various household expenses make us exhausted. We keep moving forward desperately, not daring to stop and rest for a moment. Maybe only in the dead of night, one A cigarette and a bottle of wine can temporarily put our worries behind us.
I took a sip of wine and drank in the sorrow of life in this fast-paced city.
"Sister, have you ever thought that our unwillingness to fall behind others is actually a kind of comparison? It is more important to study when we are in school, to work after graduating from college, and to compare who makes more money and who lives in a bigger house. Gradually, we will start to compare whose children study better. In fact, comparing back and forth is just putting a burden on ourselves. Each of us has a different path, so there is no need to compare with others."
Zhang Yin was stunned, unable to refute. Under the half-dark light, her eyes were a little complicated, and then she showed a relieved smile, spit out a mouthful of fragrance from her full lips, and sighed:
"You are right. I have made money, but I am not happy at all. My child has become depressed due to too much pressure from study. Over the years, I have only focused on making money, and I have even ignored the simplest happiness around me. "
I smiled and said, "So I feel that even if Feifei and I don't get together in the end, I have tried hard and at least I don't regret it. I'm lucky to meet some people." ap.
When people reach thirty, as their experience (beatings) continues to increase, many things gradually become easier to understand. Maybe there is no right choice in the world, so just accept the situation as it comes!
The drink lasted until eleven o'clock in the night, and Zhang Yin and I left the bar crookedly. The brandy was so strong that I felt dizzy. After taking a taxi all the way, I successfully got carsick.
The physical exhaustion and dizziness made me feel that I could no longer support myself. After getting out of the car, I sat down directly on the curb.
After blowing the cold wind for a while, I felt better, at least the feeling of nausea was gone, but my body was still very heavy.
I took out my mobile phone and originally wanted to call Lin Feifei for help, but then I thought about it and my fingers on the buttons suddenly froze.
Lin Feifei is going to fly the fourth section of the Dafa today and has to get up and go out at four o'clock. I don't want to make her poor sleep worse, so I hesitated for a while, so I sent a message to Zhou Shutong and asked her if it could be convenient. Lou.
Zhou Shutong had just finished the live broadcast at this time, so I had to trouble her.
After a while, Zhou Shutong's slender figure finally appeared at the gate of the community.
Her snow-white skin stood out in the darkness of the night, and the sound of slippers scraping against the ground gradually became clearer and clearer. She walked up to me and squatted down, and asked with concern: "You didn't throw up, did you?"
"Swallow."
Zhou Shutong frowned in displeasure, then handed me a bottle of mineral water: "Can you stop being so disgusting! Have a drink of water first!"
I took the mineral water and drank it for a few sips. I felt better immediately.
.
I laughed drunkenly and said, "Sorry! I'm troubling you so late!"
"It's okay, I just finished the broadcast and I'm having a midnight snack! Can you leave now?"
"I'll give it a try! Actually, I didn't drink much. It was mainly due to motion sickness, which made me feel uncomfortable."
As I explained, I stood up. Zhou Shutong saw that I was walking like a cat and hurriedly supported me.
She said she was holding my arm, but she was very measured and only held my arm carefully without too much physical contact.
I felt a little sorry for letting her go downstairs in the middle of the night. As I walked forward crookedly, I explained to her apologetically:
"I'm so sorry. I should have looked for Feifei, but she had to fly to the fourth section of the university and had to get up at around three in the morning, so I didn't dare to disturb her..."
Zhou Shutong didn't care and said with a smile: "You don't need to explain, I understand. One of my former roommates was a stewardess. It's very hard to fly to the fourth section of the university. Let her sleep a little longer!"
"Long live understanding!"
She helped me walk to the door of my house. I held the door with one hand and flipped the key in my pocket with the other hand, when the door suddenly opened from the inside.
The door opened slowly, and Lin Feifei's unpainted face suddenly appeared in front of her.
The moment she saw Zhou Shutong, her expression slowly darkened.
My mind was a little confused. Looking at the face with complicated emotions in front of me, I was stunned and asked: "Feifei... why are you awake?"
Lin Feifei's eyes swept across Zhou Shutong's face and finally landed on mine. She said lightly, "I was woken up by the prompt from the taxi app. The background message said you got off the car. I watched you for a long time." I didn’t go upstairs. I was just about to call you when I heard the door knock, so I got up and opened the door for you. Why is Shutong here too?”
I quickly explained: "Oh, I drank too much and sat on the side of the road for a long time. You flew to the fourth section of the university today and got up early. I was afraid of waking you up, so I asked Shutong to help me."
"Oh oh oh, come in!" Lin Feifei's tone was emotionless.
I staggered into the door, and Zhou Shutong said goodbye wisely.
After entering the door, I felt that the atmosphere at home was a little solid. After a short ideological struggle, I decided to explain it first.
"Feifei, actually I..."
Lin Feifei interrupted me calmly, "Okay Yu Bin, no need to explain. I didn't misunderstand. I'm going to sleep for a while. I'll get up in two or three hours."
After that, she walked towards the bedroom calmly. My heart sank.
She said there was no need to explain, but the sound of Yu Bin just now made my heart sink unconsciously...
