Yao Feipeng sat quietly on the sofa in the living room, his eyes unfocused and looking ahead numbly.
In front is the direction of the bedroom. The bedroom door is open, and his wife Liu Liqi is sitting on the dressing table, painting her eyebrows.
She pursed her lips, turned her head, and looked at herself in the mirror from all angles. After a few seconds, she decisively took out a tissue, dipped some makeup remover in it and applied it carefully on her lips several times, then changed it to a color she had tried before.
After another ten minutes, she finally stood up, walked out of the bedroom, and picked up the bag on the sofa. Yao Feipeng stood up and followed her out of the door.
When she turned around, Liu Liqi's eyebrows raised slightly, and the glint of her gaze quickly cut a hole in Yao Feipeng's body like an extremely sharp knife. His heart beat a few times unconsciously.
"You're a coward. All I do is stay at home and pretend to be dead. I work so hard outside every day that I can't even get a hot meal when I get home. I think you should die as soon as possible to avoid wasting food and being criticized!"
"I've never seen such a useless snack like you! Even your own work requires your wife to help you! Have you ever seen anyone go to a class reunion to ask for help? They all go there to show off and compare with each other. Who did it? No matter how big the business is, how big the promotion is, who marries a good husband and who marries a beautiful girl. When we get there, we don’t have any shame, and we humbly ask others to introduce us to jobs. Really, if you tell me, you will laugh to death!"
"I was really blind before marrying you! What a miserable life I have! I will be bound to you, a stupid stupid pig, for the rest of my life! If you die early, I might as well die!"
The two of them changed their shoes at the entrance. Yao Feipeng didn't dare to look up again. He was afraid of the knife-like gaze. So he lowered his head and kept staring at the toes of his shoes.
Without saying a word, he followed his wife out of the community and walked to the side of the road. Liu Liqi stopped a taxi neatly, and the two of them got into the car. Yao Feipeng opened his mouth, his voice hoarse, like clockwork in disrepair: "Go to Yelan Hotel."
The driver seemed to be a talkative and cheerful person. As soon as he heard the address, he exclaimed: "Hey, that's the most upscale hotel in our city. I haven't even entered it yet! Hehe!"
Yao Feipeng forced out a smile: "It's because someone else is treating us that we have the chance to go."
"Trash, the gap between humans is bigger than the gap between humans and dogs!"
The atmosphere in the car suddenly cooled down, and the driver seemed to feel something and stopped talking.
It's the rush hour right now, and the city center is bustling with traffic. Their car can only be submerged in the traffic, stopping and going. The outdoor temperature was only five or six degrees, but Liu Liqi pressed down the car window and let the cold wind rush in.
Yao Feipeng mustered up the courage to take a look at her. Liu Liqi's head was leaning alone against the car window. The taxi stopped and stopped, and her head was floating leisurely, as if wandering in those dizzying lights and shadows.
Since the creation of cities, day and night have gradually become reversed, and the vibrant sunshine has gradually become less intoxicating and fascinating than the colorful neon lights. People have learned to hide their secrets and emotions during the day and then indulge in them at night.
Yao Feipeng also followed her example and looked out the window.
The taxi was driving on the wide road, but even if he raised his head to the highest position or even stretched out the window, he could not see the roof of the building next to him or the building sign hanging on the top - he was put into a small iron box. Inside, the lid of the box limited his field of vision. He couldn't even see the sky, and he was worse than a frog in the well. Yao Feipeng felt like an ant crawling in the valley. The buildings on both sides were about to collapse, crushing him to death.
He felt dizzy and had to look away to see if there was anything around him that could make him feel at ease. When you open your eyes, you always want to see something, either good or bad. Then he saw another bombshell - the fare meter in the front row was constantly changing, and it kept rising with his throbbing temples, but in the process, the car only crawled a few meters. He moved his hips uncomfortably.
It's finally late at night. But before he entered the door, the brilliant light emanating from inside was about to force Yao Feipeng back. Liu Liqi stepped forward and held his arm, preventing him from running away immediately.
Yao Feipeng didn't even raise his eyes when he felt the sword-like gaze coming from beside him.
"Country dog! Country bumpkin!"
The young and beautiful reception lady had a stylized smile on her face, but Yao Feipeng clearly saw them and laughed in his heart: "Country dog! Country bumpkin!"
One of them stepped forward in high heels. Her voice was sweet and light: "Do you two have an appointment?"
Liu Liqi held her head high and ignored her.
Yao Feipeng felt that he must be like the eunuch next to the Queen now. He replied: "On the sixth floor, a private room reserved by Mr. Fang."
A glimmer of light suddenly flashed on the receptionist's face, and her smile became even bigger. She hurriedly led the two of them into the elevator, pressed the floor button, and escorted them all the way to the door of the room on the sixth floor before reluctantly leaving.
There were already seven or eight people in the room talking together. When they saw someone coming in at the door, they all looked this way.
A bejeweled and elegant woman saw the two of them and did not stand up. She just sat in her seat and waved to them and shouted: "Qiqi, here!"
Liu Liqi also saw her, walked up to her with a smile and gave her a gentle hug. The woman's name is Li Yun, and she and Liu Liqi were once roommates in the same dormitory. They slept with each other throughout their high school careers, and shared private whispers on countless nights that they could no longer remember.
Li Yun has a cute round face and big, lively eyes. She was as cute as a doll when she was studying. Now she has a more mature charm. Just sitting quietly in a crowd can make you the center of attention. Of course, most of the credit goes to the diamond rings and necklaces on her hands and neck that are more dazzling than the crystal lamp above her head.
Liu Liqi's temperament is very different from hers. She doesn't have Li Yun's ability to get close to everyone. The thing I was most proud of when I was in school was my grades, and I was loved by the teachers because of it. In the end, like most good students, I went to a key university and worked in a pretty good company, day after day, year after year. One year. She seems to have changed little today from when she was studying, she is still simple and beautiful.
"It's such a pity that something like that happened to your family. Are you feeling better now?" Li Yun asked carefully, like a little girl who loves to act coquettishly. No one, no matter how sensitive their mind, would blame her. .
Liu Liqi looked at her sincere eyes and didn't know whether to nod or shake her head. In the end, she could only show an embarrassed smile.
"Is this your husband?" Li Yun saw Yao Feipeng following him and smiled even sweeter: "What a handsome guy!"
Yao Feipeng's smile was probably even more embarrassing than Liu Liqi's. He reluctantly said hello to the people in the room, gave his name and made a brief introduction before falling silent again.
Silence is his armor, but many people will use words to attack other people's armor, so he hopes that the whole world can be silent.
Li Yun pulled Liu Liqi to talk: "Don't worry, your husband is in such good conditions, has such a high degree of education, and has worked in a large factory before. Finding a good job is not a problem at all, and he doesn't need help from others to introduce him! However, Now that you have spoken, I will personally keep an eye on my husband and ask him to keep an eye on you. Just wait for my good news!"
Li Yun's tone was cheerful and lively, as if she had completed the entrusted matter.
I don’t know when it happened years ago, but the group of high school classmates who had been silent for a long time suddenly became active. I don’t know who took the lead. People who have lived together more than ten years ago, people who have retained a memory together, sometimes just a spark can rekindle the dusty years of youth.
In this way, with an excuse, the former classmates started chatting again, and the once estranged relationship seemed to be getting closer. Those who do well are modest and show off, while those who do poorly are either euphemistic or straightforward in seeking to hug someone's lap. It was at this time that Li Yun learned about the changes and difficulties that had occurred in Liu Liqi's family, and offered to help.
Li Yun's newly married husband is a big shot. He owns a group company, including the Yelan Hotel, which is also an industry in his name. Although he had an ex-wife and son who were more than 20 years older than herself, this opportunity fell on her. "I thought about it for three days and three nights, but I couldn't think of a reason to give up." This is what Li Yun said when the two of them were chatting on WeChat.
Now, Li Yun is three months pregnant, and nothing can drive her out of this glittering castle.
Only if the other party can open his mouth can he accept it. Otherwise, wouldn't he become a beggar? Liu Liqi told Yao Feipeng this way, and she naturally understood that Li Yun had said it first to take care of her face, so that she would not be so embarrassed. She has always been thoughtful and meticulous, so everyone loves Li Yun. .
"It's all your fault, I almost became a beggar!" Yao Feipeng accidentally touched Liu Liqi's eyes again.
Before he started eating, Yao Feipeng felt his stomach was rumbling and he felt nauseous.
