Latest Realistic Fiction Novel

Central Park was among the first real estate projects launched for the middle class. Not only does it boast small villas reminiscent of Grant Wood's "American Gothic" painting, but it also features a large number of high-quality owners, including celebrities, lawyers, doctors, engineers, and company executives.

This can be seen from the two lines of small Sino-German text in an inconspicuous location on the back of the sculpture at the main entrance of Central Park: "The economic base determines the superstructure."

Karl Marx was certainly not wrong; the economic base determines what kind of villa, what size, and even how many private parking spaces an owner can afford in Central Park, thus forming a hierarchy of contempt.

At the top of this hierarchy are the owners of the first phase, Beverly Hills, such as the Hu family at No. 1. This elderly couple is wealthy and leisurely; even after retirement, they continue to rake in money daily, living an enviable life. However, it's rumored that their only son, who is pursuing a PhD at MIT, has gone mad!

The houses in the second phase, Palm Beach, are a bit inferior to Beverly, but the Sun engineer's family is still considered a winner in the eyes of outsiders. The Sun couple gave birth to three burly young men, each tall, strong, and full of presence. From a distance, they look as sturdy as three calves; who wouldn't praise them? However, this couple came from humble beginnings and decorated their beautiful villa like a farmhouse, truly lowering the aesthetic standards of the entire Central Park.

The house types in the third phase, Napa Valley, are even worse than those in the first and second phases. Owners living here are barely considered well-off, still quite a distance from the middle-class standard required by Central Park.

However, the couple at No. 5, the Cheng family, are like the male and female leads from an idol drama in Central Park. This couple absolutely represents the "three highs" of the new era: high education, high salary, and high颜值 (high颜值 is a Chinese internet term meaning high aesthetic value/good looks).

The handsome man and beautiful woman, wherever they stand, are a sight to behold. Furthermore, this young couple, at a young age, already has a daughter and a son, forming a perfect character for "good fortune." They look like promising new elites in every way.

However, it's rumored that this seemingly glamorous couple is actually living hand-to-mouth paupers with no family savings at all. In short, the lives of the middle class are also a mess of trivialities.

"She's clearly a canary, yet insists on projecting an image of an independent, strong woman. This forced 'feeding of feces' might be counterproductive, wouldn't it?"

From being forced to break a branch to blooming on her own accord, she dedicates her life to writing: the most beautiful way a woman can live is to finally live for herself.

But her rejection was like a sudden blow.

When they broke up, Ke Fan said, "Yi Lingjia, you don't understand, my life can only be controlled by my own hands. I have my own lighthouse to reach."

3. It's a writing style similar to a diary + essays, just for fun.

A writer wife meets an office worker. Everyone says meeting is fate, so what is it when you meet at the gym?

It means we both love fitness. Love at first sight is essentially lust at first sight, but it is just one way for emotions to begin.

Ultimately, it settles into an ordinary routine: eating many meals together, watching many movies together. Two lonely people meet in early summer and part in spring.

A little experience between people is enough.
