Chapter 2378: Feeling ashamed of oneself
Xiao Chongyang ran out of the house without looking back.
For the next month, the boss's wife did not harass him, and finally at the end of the month, he could collect his salary.
The boss's wife found the gold watch from under his bed and accused him of stealing. The boss beat him up and threw him onto the street without him getting any salary.
He was penniless, had lost everything, had no money to buy food, and was hallucinating due to hunger.
He saw himself living in a big mansion, served by countless servants, with someone picking out the bones from his fish and making his bed for him. He lived like an emperor.
When I came to my senses and looked around, I found myself lying next to a garbage dump with only a skinny, mangy dog rummaging through the garbage.
He got up and went to look for leftovers, and the mangy dog followed him.
When they reached the snack stand, the mangy dog was kicked away and he was also swept away with a broom.
What does despair feel like?
Despair is when you want to eat other people's leftovers, but others won't give them to you.
He really dreams of becoming rich, but it seems that this dream will never come true.
So I came to the bridge and wanted to be like my mother and end it all once and for all.
Moreover, he had no relatives, so he didn't even need to write a suicide note. He just needed to plunge into it.
But looking at the surging river and his blurry reflection, he suddenly felt unwilling.
Those bad guys are still alive, why should he die? He has done nothing bad.
Maybe when this thought came up, God decided to help him.
That day he still jumped into the river. It was not his own will. He had been hungry for two days and had low blood sugar. His eyes went black and he fell in.
Then I finally met the first good person in my life.
He was an old Chinese doctor who had just got off work and was riding his bicycle across the bridge. When he saw him fall into the water, he didn't say a word, dropped his bicycle, jumped into the river, and rescued him.
The old Chinese doctor asked him why he was so upset. He said he had already let it go, but he was too hungry and felt dizzy and fell into the river.
Later, an old Chinese doctor took him in, taught him medical skills, and allowed him to take the medical school entrance examination.
That's how he became a surgeon.
The old Chinese doctor taught him all he had learned in his life. He got a stable job and lived in a clean dormitory at the company.
He also saved up half a year's salary and bought a camera. He wanted to take pictures of this beautiful world. He wanted to be a photographer in the future.
When he is not working, he walks through the streets and alleys to take pictures.
During his vacation, he bought a train ticket, packed his camera and set off.
It feels so good to crawl out of the mire.
Then he met Lin Wanqing.
It was a chance encounter during a trip.
How could there be such a beautiful person in the world? This was his impression when he first met Wanqing.
He thought narrowly, how much money would it cost to sleep with such a beautiful girl.
Later, after hearing the introduction from his travel companions, he realized that no matter how much money he offered, he could not buy the girl.
Beauty is only one of her advantages. She has many more lovely qualities. She is talented and intelligent. She is a real daughter of a wealthy family.
Her mother is a famous architect, and the tallest building in Haicheng was designed by her mother.
Her father was rich and prestigious. The five most expensive collections in the Haicheng Museum were all donated by her father.
Her ancestors all made great contributions. To this day, there is a street in Haicheng named after her great-grandfather.
Wanqing is different from him in every way and they are not the same kind of people at all.
But they have one common hobby, they all love photography.
Although her works have already been exhibited in photography exhibitions abroad, his works only exist in his own computer.
When standing in front of her, Xiao Chongyang felt nothing but ashamed of himself.
But I also want her more.
Xiao Chongyang could see that she had a rather arrogant personality and probably rarely heard criticism, so he deliberately criticized her work to attract her attention.
The two of them could be said to have "gotten to know each other through fighting". After a heated argument, the girl finally became interested in him.
Soon, he discovered that Wanqing was rebellious at heart.
The reason why I became interested in him was not because he was a photographer, but because he was an ordinary person. Of course, he was actually a little worse off than ordinary people.
She chose to travel around the world because she didn't like other socialites who spent their days just shopping, doing beauty treatments and talking about men. She also didn't want to get married, and she was even a bachelor.
In short, the more he yearned for her world, the more curious she was about his world.
So Xiao Chongyang changed his mind.
He took the young lady to experience the life of ordinary people, took her to the night market, ate at food stalls, and asked her to give up her five-star presidential suite and experience a youth hostel that cost only a few dozen dollars a night.
Xiao Chongyang never knew that his miserable life experience would become his capital in pursuing girls.
In this way, after she experienced the civilian life for two months, the rebellious young lady's liking for him turned into liking him.
When she looked at him, her eyes would sparkle.
Xiao Chongyang felt happy and satisfied, and he truly understood Wanqing.
She is approachable and gentle. She is of noble birth, but she does not put on airs and is extremely disgusted with extravagant life.
She is very kind and hates evil. When she heard about what Xiao Chongyang had experienced, she insisted on teaching a lesson to those who had bullied him.
Then they fell in love.
When Xiao Chongyang asked her to stay overnight for the first time, she refused.
She lives a free and easy life, but she is not a casual girl when it comes to matters between men and women.
Xiao Chongyang liked her self-love very much, and he also knew that the girl was unwilling to stay overnight, probably because she did not trust him enough.
He really wanted to possess her, but he didn't date Wanqing just to have sex with her.
So he chose to respect Wanqing and no longer make unreasonable demands.
This went on until the day of the engagement.
Wanqing chose a restaurant. There was no complicated ceremony. She just had a meal with her family. There were no relatives or anything like that, only her parents and sister.
On the day of the engagement, he was actually very nervous. He came from a humble background and was just a surgeon. How could he be worthy of a girl from such a family?
Therefore, he did not talk about his parents, but only said that they died early and he was adopted by an old Chinese doctor, and then he became a doctor.
Wanqing's parents were very kind and did not show any prejudice against his background. They were very satisfied with him and praised him for his good looks and for working in a respectable profession.
The meal went smoothly until the bill...
Xiao Chongyang rushed to pay the bill, but after seeing it, he realized that he could not afford it at all.
Later, Wanqing saw his dilemma and took the initiative to pay the bill.
They were all well-educated people and did not behave in any way that would embarrass him.
But Xiao Chongyang felt very uncomfortable.
If he can't even afford a dinner like this, what will he do about his future wedding?
What to do with the bride price?
He wanted to be rich, more than ever before...
