C52 (1/2)
After eating and drinking to our heart's content, we drove back to the hotel to rest.
On the way to the hotel, we happened to meet the rush hour of work. The road was blocked, and our car was stuck on the elevated platform.
Somehow I wanted to talk to him.
”Thank you for today, I had a good time.”
”Do you like it?”
he asked seriously, looking at me.
I didn't look at him, but out the window.
”You know, this is the first time I've been to an amusement park.”
After saying that, I lowered my head and smiled.
”It's hard to believe, isn't it?” I looked up, tilted my head to his side, and smiled at him.
”As the president of Ye’s, how could I not have been to an amusement park?”
I paused. ”But this is the truth. As you can see, I don't even know what a merry-go-round is. ”
It didn't matter if Jiang Yu wanted to hear it or not, I continued to talk about what happened when I was young.
”When I was young, I grew up with my grandparents. At that time, I was in the countryside and my family was poor. Even the wealthiest children in the village had never been to an amusement park. When I grew up, when I came out to work hard, maintaining my life became the most important thing to do right now. I didn't know it when I was young, so when I grew up, I naturally didn't want it. ”
As I spoke, I smiled in relief.
Actually, I know that now, when I think back to the past, sometimes I feel that I am not that miserable.
If one had never seen heaven, they wouldn't think that hell was so dark.
He did not speak, but chose to listen quietly.
And what I want to say is unprecedented.
”So far, there are a lot of things that even children know, but I don't know. Maybe it's because I received too little in my childhood and knew that I had to settle for the current situation, I couldn't have extravagant hopes, so gradually, I didn't force myself. ”
I looked up at the blue sky outside the window.
Not forcing it, but that doesn't mean I don't want it.
When I was a child, I had nothing, so I envied those who had everything.
After leaving Li Ruyan, I started to go to the factory to work and live my days as a teacher.
I'm tired, but I'm on my own, and at least I'm safe.
At that time, there was no one who was familiar with him. During his free time, he would just go to the duty room and squat on the floor to watch TV shows on the old TV.
Perhaps this was the only pleasure I had at that time.
Later, when he was older and had Lin Mu by his side, he used the first money he earned from working hard and frugally to buy me a cell phone that could watch TV.
I used that cell phone for five years.
After that, Lin Mu left me, leaving the Lin Clan, who had just regained a little bit of its strength.
I didn't know what perseverance I had used to survive those years, but later, when I was free, I would think, Why do people always yearn for unrealistic fragments when they are young?
It was probably because it was a beautiful dream, and the reality of life, would only be cruel to the point of making you bleed.
But I didn't say that.
These are the past I have never mentioned to anyone.
It's all I've ever dreamed of when I was young.
After a while, I walked out from my memories, but found that Jiang Yu's gaze was still fixated on my face.
”What's wrong? Is there something on my face? ” I looked at him and thought it was funny.
