Extra: Cheng Shuang - Chen Yifan
Before the age of thirty, Cheng Shuang's life was bleak.
When she was two years old, her parents died. Her uncle took over the house and compensation money left to her by her parents, but felt that she was redundant. Her aunt took her to the street, saying that she was going to buy her some candy and asked her to wait there.
Instead of waiting for her aunt, she waited for human traffickers.
She was too young at that time and deliberately forgot. She only vaguely remembered that many children were locked in a small dark room, some with broken hands and some with broken feet.
She should be thankful that her parents gave her a good example.
The traffickers said she was good-looking and could be sold for a good price. However, that year the country cracked down on human trafficking and conducted strict inspections, so they were transferred from one city to another.
When she was seven years old, she was asked to steal things and become a pickpocket. She refused, so she was beaten every day and locked up in a small dark room. She was not beaten to death because she was pretty, and those people were thinking of finding an opportunity to sell her for a good price.
Later, they found a buyer and agreed on a price. Perhaps thanks to her parents' blessing, the police arrived when she was stuffed into the car.
She was sent home, but her uncle was unwilling to raise her. Her grandmother took her home because she didn't want the villagers to criticize her uncle.
Her grandmother didn't like her. She was used to not having enough food or being beaten. She just wanted to go to school, but her grandmother said she had no money.
When I was in despair, my parents appeared again.
Her parents donated money to the village to build roads before they died. The village chief took pity on her and used his connections to get her a funding spot at the school.
This opportunity changed her life. She met an extremely good person.
Shen Yifan's mother, Shen Hong.
Chen Hong sponsored her. After hearing about her experience, he often visited her, bought her clothes, and took her out to dinner. When her grandmother passed away in the third year of junior high school, her uncle became jealous of her sponsorship money.
She remembered that day very clearly. Her uncle forced her to find various reasons to ask Chen Hong for money. She refused, and her uncle almost beat her to death. Later, Chen Hong rushed in and held her in his arms.
The fire poker fell heavily and fiercely on Shen Qing's back. She gritted her teeth and refused to let go until Shen Yifan's father came with the police.
Chen Hong brought her to Haicheng, let her attend high school in Haicheng, let her live at home, and prepared a separate room for her, decorated like a princess's room, with a closet full of new clothes.
Her voice was very gentle, "Shuangshuang will have a home from now on."
They really gave her a home.
Chen Hong took care of her meticulously, and Shen Yifan's father treated her as his own daughter. Countless nights, she would wonder if her parents had returned.
…
Shen Yifan lives in the high school dormitory.
Cheng Shuang first saw him on the day she was brought home by Chen Hong. He was wearing a light-colored sportswear, his facial features were overly handsome, and he looked very young. His pair of dark eyes fell on her.
She was nervous and scared at the time. After all, she was a terrible outsider. She invaded his home, shared his parents, spent their money, and ate their food.
If he hated her, scolded her, or beat her, she could accept it.
But he walked over, put his palm on her head and rubbed it gently, he smiled at her, "You are Cheng Shuang, I am Shen Yifan, call me brother."
After he finished speaking, Chen Hong hit him and said, "Cheng Shuang is one year older than you, you have to call her sister."
Shen Yifan never called her sister, but always asked her to call him brother. She was inferior and afraid of offending him, so she did whatever he said. Therefore, she called him brother throughout high school.
He was really good to her at that time.
Chen Hong gave her the bigger room in the house and asked him to move to the smaller room. He was not angry, saying that boys can live anywhere. He also had no objection to all the delicious food and drinks in the house being given to her, saying that she was too thin and should eat something good.
She was bullied at school and didn't dare tell Shen Hong and the others at first. Later, Shen Yifan accidentally saw the wound on her arm and asked her what happened. She was afraid of troubling them, so she just said that she fell.
Shen Yifan didn't say anything, but he didn't believe it either.
He was in a key provincial high school. She hadn't done well in the transfer exam, and her school was a bit worse than theirs. They were not in the same school, but there was a junior high school classmate of Shen Yifan in their class.
He put eyeliner in front of her.
Once she was blocked in the equipment room. He kicked the door open and came down like a god. He beat up all the men and women one by one and forced the abuser to apologize to her.
That day, he carried her home.
He was wearing the white shirt uniform of Haicheng High School. His arms held her steadily. His hair on his forehead was wet with sweat. The high-spirited young man had a tense expression on his face. He scolded her all the way during the half-hour journey.
"Are you stupid? Don't you know how to tell others when you're being bullied? Cheng Shuang, don't you think of us as family? I'm telling you, next time you don't tell others, I'll beat you up!"
She didn't dare say anything, but just reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
She wiped it carefully, and his scolding voice became smaller and smaller, and finally became gentle.
"I'm not trying to be mean to you, but you have to learn this lesson. You have such a beautiful mouth, you can't keep it closed all the time. You have to learn how to complain."
Knowing that she was being bullied at school, Shen Yifan took He Zheng to their school to fight with the school bully. After becoming famous, he spread the word.
"Cheng Shuang is under my protection, Shen Yifan. Whoever dares to bully her again will be punished!"
He would go to their school every week to bring her snacks and intimidate her former bullies. She spent her high school years safely under his protection.
At that time, Shen Yifan stirred up huge waves in her heart and had a fatal attraction to her.
…
Cheng Shuang knew that Shen Yifan's target was Haicheng University.
She was not smart, even stupid. She tried her best and when she received the admission letter from Haicheng University, her eyes were filled with tears.
Shen Yifan was also very happy. He took her to eat hot pot and used his saved pocket money to take her to see the concert of her favorite singer.
In college, he treated her as well as ever.
He often invited her to dinner with He Zheng, and gave her all the gifts he received during the holidays. If she was sick, he would come over immediately with just a phone call. She posted on her Moments that she wanted to watch the sunrise at Beishan, and he would take her there on a very cool motorcycle on the weekend.
He was so nice to her that her roommate joked, "Shen Yifan doesn't look like your brother, he looks like your boyfriend. Does he like you?"
She also began to think that Shen Yifan liked her.
She felt inferior in front of Shen Yifan, so she really struggled for a long time before she decided to confess her feelings. She mustered up the courage because there was a girl pursuing Shen Yifan at that time.
The pursuit was very noisy, impetuous, and a very bright and outspoken girl.
She was nervous and worried, so she was ready to take a gamble, but the night before she opened her mouth, Shen Yifan sent her a message.
"I'm in love, Xu Xiaotian from our department. When you are free, bring her to meet you."
That night, Cheng Shuang couldn't sleep the whole night and cried until her pillow was wet. She was just glad that she hid her feelings well, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
After Shen Yifan started dating, she began to avoid him. She went to the library and took part-time jobs, making herself busier and busier, so busy that she had no time to meet him.
He noticed it, but he didn't have time to care about her.
He started a business with He Zheng and also had to accompany his girlfriend, so she was insignificant.
After graduation, she went to work at Huayang Advertising, which was far away from Minghe and the Shen family. She rented a house outside and went back to see Chen Hong and others during the holidays. She also deliberately staggered her time with Shen Yifan.
She thought that time would pass silently, and one day, they would each start their own families, and she would let go of that wrong love.
As a result, everything was ruined on Xu Xiaotian's 24th birthday.
…
Shen Yifan has complicated feelings towards Cheng Shuang.
The day his mother brought Cheng Shuang home, she was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans. She was skinny and looked malnourished. Although she was one year older than him, she looked a few years younger than him.
He had never seen such a frightened look, so timid, uneasy, self-deprecating and lifeless.
There are still unhealed wounds on his face.
His mother told him about Cheng Shuang's experience. He couldn't imagine how unlucky a person had to be to encounter so many disasters. He felt sympathetic and distressed and vowed to take good care of her.
He has always treated her like a younger sister.
She spoke very little and kept everything to herself. He didn't know that she liked him, but he just wanted to give her the best and couldn't bear to see her being bullied.
When Xu Xiaotian was pursuing him, he was actually not keen on dating. He just thought Xu Xiaotian was beautiful and had a cheerful and generous personality.
At that time, he and He Zheng were the only ones in their dormitory who were not in a relationship, and they were even ridiculed. He agreed to Xu Xiaotian in a fit of anger.
I didn't expect that she was such a vicious woman.
He Zheng kept reminding him that Cheng Shuang was not the type of person who would drug him. He wanted to believe her, but there was evidence and witnesses. After all, no woman would set up her boyfriend to sleep with someone else.
He was also angry. He had been so nice to her, but she humiliated him.
As a result, he actually encountered such a speechless thing.
The night he learned the truth, he felt mixed emotions, and guilt towards Cheng Shuang filled his entire chest.
When I got home, Cheng Shuang was cooking in the kitchen.
He hugged her from behind, buried his face in her neck, and kept saying sorry. He didn't know how many times he said it. Her body stiffened and she asked him what was wrong.
He spoke with difficulty, "Xu Xiaotian admitted that she gave you the wine back then. She was the one who schemed against us."
He didn't ask for her forgiveness. She could punish him however she wanted as long as she didn't divorce him. He didn't know when his feelings for her began to deteriorate. He only knew that he didn't want to divorce her.
He should have seen himself clearly sooner and realized that he loved her.
Cheng Shuang let him hold her in his arms, and was silent for a long time before she slowly said:
"Chen Yifan, I don't love you now. I have been compromising because your parents are good to me. Even so, you won't leave me?"
I don't love you now.
For the first time in his life, Shen Yifan felt a heart-wrenching pain.
In the past, he completely didn't understand why He Zheng was so desperate for Wen Ruan, but now he understood. His heart felt like it was being gripped by someone's hand, the pain was beyond his capacity and he could hardly bear it.
He turned her over and kissed her hard. He heard himself say, "It doesn't matter. I love you."
…
When Cheng Shuang was pregnant, Shen Yifan was especially cautious.
Cheng Shuang had strong reactions in the early stages of pregnancy. She was sleepy, had a sensitive sense of smell, could not smell anything with a strong smell, and her mood was up and down.
Shen Yifan took a long vacation to take care of her, doing everything himself, learning to make nutritious meals, accompanying her shopping to relax, and meeting any of her requests.
In the second trimester, Cheng Shuang became more fragile, sensitive, clingy, and had a more discerning taste for food. Shen Yifan treated her like a porcelain doll and took care of her. It was tiring, but he also felt happy.
The little guy is very troublesome. At night, when she falls asleep, he will lift up her nightgown and mutter to her belly, telling her to be well behaved and stop bothering her, otherwise he will be beaten in the future.
Soon slapped in the face.
The smile on his face has never disappeared since his daughter Pengpeng was born.
Even when the little girl scratched his face and even peed on him, he would still grin and not be willing to hit or scold her, and let her bully him.
His life should be complete.
Except Cheng Shuang doesn't love him.
He spent many years trying to warm her heart again, but her attitude towards him was always indifferent. He had heard her conversation with Wen Ruan.
Wen Ruan: "Do you really not love Chen Yifan anymore? Then will it be tiring for you to live with him?"
Cheng Shuang: "There are different standards for judging the happiness or unhappiness of a marriage. For example, you and He Zheng are in love, so you are very happy. For example, Zhang Tongtong can now support herself and her children, so she is also happy."
Cheng Shuang: "For example, Shen Yifan and I, I don't love him that much anymore, but I am very satisfied with my current life. I enjoy this state, so I am also happy. Even without love, family affection can maintain a marriage."
Shen Yifan felt very sorry that he had disappointed Cheng Shuang.
It was his own fault, and he would spend his whole life making up for it.
