Chen Ke has always felt that he is a lucky person.
Although he lives in a village, his family runs a breeding business and his economic conditions are pretty good.
I went smoothly in school, my grades were top-notch, and I had a friendly and harmonious relationship with my classmates and teachers.
But the luckiest thing for him was meeting Mingyao.
When Mingyao was a child, she had not yet grown up. She looked like a thin and shy girl. She was too timid to resist when bullied.
He helped her drive away the little boy who bullied her.
Thinking about it now, that casual move might have been the best thing he ever did.
The relationship between the two gradually became closer because of this incident, but at that time he only regarded Mingyao as his sister.
After entering high school, Mingyao's appearance became more and more beautiful, and her face was elegant and charming. Even wearing a loose school uniform, you can see her slim figure. Every time the two of them met, he blushed and his heart beat, and their affection gradually grew.
Her character is still shy and well-behaved, and she is not proud of her appearance. Chen Ke knows that this is due to her original family.
More and more boys in the school are focusing on Mingyao. Even in key high schools, there are many young lovers who are secretly dating.
But Mingyao is not very enlightened in this aspect and focuses on studying.
He made an appointment with her to attend a university in the same city. He knew that this was no different from confessing his love.
When she nodded shyly in agreement, he was so happy that he wanted to run around a few times to tell the world.
Now he was finally relieved. Even if they were separated, he knew that she would not be abducted by other boys because she had such a stable character.
After three years of hard work, his college entrance examination results were ideal, more than ten points higher than expected. He ranked first in the school and successfully entered the university of his choice. This is one of the reasons why he feels that he is lucky.
But after entering college, his feelings were completely different.
It was okay when I was a freshman, everyone lived in the same dormitory, and since they were new here, their personalities were quite restrained. Starting from my sophomore year, the gap between classmates began to show.
Some people buy houses and live near the school just for convenience, and some people drive luxury cars to and from school. These are nothing. He can comfort himself that these are just external things.
But the learning ability that made him proud was just mediocre in school. Many people smarter than him worked harder than him.
The roommates in the same dormitory were all locals from big cities and had good educational resources since childhood. Their parents had even planned a route for them to go abroad for master's and doctoral degrees, and they just had to proceed step by step along the way.
Only ordinary people like him need to study hard to change their destiny. It is more likely that the pinnacle of his life is to be admitted to this university.
No matter how he comforted himself, he inevitably gradually became depressed.
The only time that made him feel gratified was when the girls' looks and figures were discussed in the dormitory at night, and he never participated.
Others thought he was not interested, but in fact it was because the girls they were discussing were not as good as one of Mingyao's fingers.
Fortunately, Mingyao is an introvert, so after going to college, she either studied in the dormitory or the library.
Most of the students in the normal university are girls, otherwise Mingyao may not have enough suitors to count.
Graduation is approaching and I am even more in a hurry. My parents naively think that going to a good university will lead to a good job, but they don’t know that the content of university life is rarely directly related to the job market, and the "stepping stones" required by different majors are even different.
Fortunately, Mingyao has been silently accompanying him. He gradually accepted his ordinaryness, found an ordinary job, and successfully started a family with Mingyao.
The classmates invited to the wedding all looked at him with envy and jealousy. Chen Ke knew that this was because of the bride beside him. Mingyao, who was wearing a white wedding dress, was not only gentle and beautiful, but also had a holy and elegant temperament.
The music plays and the two embrace.
Thank God for allowing me to meet you, hold your hand from now on, and stay with you forever.
These were the vows made at the wedding, and they were also his true words.
The days after marriage were warm and ordinary. The two had known each other for many years and rarely had conflicts in their lives, but they also lacked a bit of passion.
But that's how most people live, he told himself.
Once while drinking with a client at the wine table, he met his college senior, Hang Xinran.
Hang Xinran is also very famous in X University, where there are many talents. She has first-class appearance and figure, and her family is very wealthy.
His roommate once gave him some popular science. Hang Xinran’s handbag cost hundreds of thousands. At that time, he couldn’t understand how someone could spend six figures to buy a bag to hold things. Later, he realized that the money was worth more than 100,000 yuan. To others, it's not worth mentioning at all.
At the wine table, Hang Xinran seemed to be in a bad mood. He drank a lot one cup after another, and staggered to the bathroom in the middle. He followed him out with some worry.
"Are you from X University? Are you from the External Relations Department?"
Chen Ke was flattered. Hang Xinran was the vice president of the student union at the time. He didn't expect that she would still remember him.
After the banquet dispersed, they went to the bar to drink and chat.
He learned that Hang Xinran was married and now an executive of a large company. The more they talked, the more they talked, and both of them got drunk.
When I woke up the next day, I found myself lying naked on the hotel bed.
Hang Xinran came out of the bathroom wearing a bath towel, looked at him dumbfounded, and chuckled.
"What? Are you pretending to have amnesia?"
Fragmentary memories emerged in his mind. Although it was Hang Xinran who took the initiative last night, he did want to refuse but still welcomed her, and his stance was not firm.
After the effects of the alcohol wore off, he sat on the bed at a loss.
Hang Xinran comforted him in turn:
"Anyway, we are both married, and we don't need to be responsible for each other. We can just enjoy the moment."
When he returned home from the hotel that day, Mingyao was as gentle as ever and asked him worriedly why he didn't answer the phone last night.
The feeling of guilt overwhelmed him. He didn't dare to look directly into Mingyao's eyes, so he just found an excuse to fool him.
Mingyao never checks his cell phone or doubts him, because that's her character.
After that, he was like a quitter who made up his mind not to do it again every time, but when Hang Xinran contacted him, he couldn't help but go to the appointment.
Just like alcohol and nicotine, Hang Xinran brought a lot of excitement to his life.
As long as Mingyao doesn't find out, it's fine. Many people are like this. He comforts himself and gradually indulges in this game.
Until a sudden car accident happened.
The moment the accident happened, it was like a slow motion scene in a movie. There was a loud bang in my ears, I lost control of my body, and my mind went blank.
I felt in my heart that it was over, that I might be dying.
Before his consciousness gradually dissipated, the last picture that appeared in front of his eyes was Mingyao's soft face, with clear eyes, looking at him with a smile...
Regret came up faster than the pain.
It wasn't until I came into contact with death that I could clearly see into the chaos deep in my heart and know what was most important to me.
He was wrong!
He shouldn't betray Mingyao, he shouldn't betray his oath!
He did those things not because he fell in love with Hang Xinran, but because he was dissatisfied with his own mediocrity and resisted the stagnant life.
If this car accident is a punishment from God, I hope God can give me another chance to make amends.
Fortunately, he opened his eyes again.
In addition to the joy of surviving the disaster, he also felt a sense of rebirth.
My mind is much clearer and everything I see seems brand new.
Chen Ke closed his eyes and made up his mind.
Mingyao, I did something wrong.
But I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you.
