Romance
Unable to sleep at night, she wandered around the yard alone.
The moon hangs alone, looking like a pie in the sky drawn by someone else - making a wish for you, making you feel embarrassed, trying your best until you are exhausted, but the result is still so far away.
There was a swing between two sycamore trees, and Ye Yuanyin sat on it. Looking up, it seemed as if the whole sky was shaking.
She leaned her head on the swing rope, closed her eyes, and many scenes suddenly popped into her mind.
*
When she was admitted to Ancheng University, she went to report to the school accompanied by her uncle.
Getting from Jiutao Village to Ancheng is harder than climbing to the sky.
My father had passed away by then. My uncle was a "capable man" in the same village and considered himself knowledgeable. However, after getting off the high-speed train, the uncle and nephew were still dumbfounded by the dazzling signs in the city.
"Comrade, how do I get to Anjo University?"
Keep asking this question as you go.
People with good tempers will explain patiently, while people with bad tempers will just ignore it and even look at it with contempt.
Back then, the farthest they had ever been was the county town, where people would flatter the powerful and bully the weak, but at least they could still communicate in their local dialect. Arriving in Ancheng, their attire and demeanor were so jarring they couldn't even speak Mandarin properly. Thinking back on that embarrassment still haunts her.
The swing was still shaking, and she came to a three-story villa.
The sound of piano came from inside, and the Husky followed the young man to open the door with its long red tongue dragging.
You Jing looked her up and down. At that time, she had been studying at the Academy of Fine Arts of Anhui University for three years. A piece of pickled vegetable put into a dye vat would at least be imbued with some color, not to mention that she herself had good qualifications.
You Jing looked at her as if he were looking at a commodity to be sold. This girl - gentle and quiet, he finally searched out these two words from his font library. He saw that she was wearing a black round-necked T-shirt with the collar curled up from washing, and a white cotton skirt underneath. The word "shabby" was written all over her body.
She was holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms, and the delicate flowers set off her clear face, making her look like a very good girl.
Ye Yuan asked timidly, "Excuse me...does Professor Sun live here?"
"Who are you?"
"My name is Ye Yuanyin, and I'm her student."
"Come in."
You Jing let the person in, and the husky beside her circled around her and sniffed her.
Ye Yuanyin grew up in the mountains and had never seen this breed of pet dog. Just from the appearance of the dog, he was frightened. He thought that rich people would never keep a wolf as a pet, right?
She was afraid of its ferocious appearance and always avoided it.
Once when he came to his home for special training, Professor Sun was not there, only You Jing was there.
Ye Yuanyin hesitated, but finally decided to leave. "Sorry to bother you... I'll come back next time."
"What? Are you afraid of me?" The boy seemed to be about the same age as her. He looked down at her increasingly soft face and suddenly had some mischievous thoughts in his mind.
A nonchalant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and the dog leash was loosened inadvertently. The Husky, which had been locked up at home for a long time, ran towards her.
The panic expression was infinitely magnified, and her uncontrolled body was thrown to the ground. The "wolf" opened its bloody mouth and licked her wantonly, as if it was going to swallow her alive in the next second.
Who would like such a prank?
Ye Yuan clenched his fists and opened his eyes with shame and anger.
The stars in the sky are unaware of sorrow and are still twinkling.

The next day, Shen Meiyue came to chat with her.
"Where do you want to go during the National Day holiday?"
"go home."
“Do you have to be so boring? Isn’t it enough to go home every day? Why do you have to go home during holidays?”
"I mean, back home."
Shen Meiyue's eyes lit up, "I want to go play too."
"No, you don't want to go." Ye Yuanyin said calmly, "It's so poor in the mountains."
"Then I won't go!" Shen Meiyue changed her mind in an instant. "I can't live without the convenience and prosperity of the city for the rest of my life. I can't stay in that remote and poor place."
The elevator opened, and a local courier handed over a bunch of bright red roses wrapped in black lace. "Ms. Ye, please sign for them."
Ye Yuanyin was helpless: "I have said it many times, I refuse."
In the past, he would just leave it in a corner and run away, but now he's used to it. "I'm sorry, I've told you many times, I'm just running errands. Please don't make it difficult for me."
Shen Meiyue grumbled and said sarcastically, "What kind of taste does Chen Yan have? Such vulgar flowers. Throw them away! They're so ugly! I'm afraid they'll give me stye."
Ye Yuanyin studied art and was naturally sensitive to the matching of colors. At this moment, she just smiled innocently and asked without thinking, "Ji Quan - is he familiar with you?"
"You called me here just to ask about her?" Shen Meiyue rubbed her freshly finished acrylic nails with her fingertips and said disapprovingly, "She and I are not the same kind of people."
"How do you say it?"
"Some women may look well-dressed and walk with a firm step, but they are very different in nature." Shen Meiyue looked at her with a calm expression on her face.
"Ji Quan is a capable and capable person under my eldest brother. He earns 700,000 to 800,000 yuan a year, owns a house and a car in Ancheng, and will find a husband who is similar to her. They will have smart children who will go to a good kindergarten, public elementary school, key high school, and a good university, and then continue to work for us after they are released."
"But what about me?" she sighed, then said shrewdly, "I'm different from her. After I got married, I no longer have to work. I sleep until noon every day, exercise for a while in the afternoon, and go to cocktail parties and dances with my husband in the evening. When I'm in a good mood, I go shopping and watch fashion shows abroad. That's it. Do you think it's very different?"
The listeners had mixed feelings, "Yes, a lot."
Shen Meiyue comforted her again: "Brother doesn't like her, don't take it to heart."
Ye Yuanyin smiled: "He likes Zhang Siling, right?"
"Sister-in-law." Shen Meiyue suddenly called her, and yelled again in surprise, "Sister-in-law——"
Ye Yuanyin looked at her with a puzzled look on his face.
"I call you 'sister-in-law'—no matter what tricks you use, you're now a member of our family. As long as you're still here, your life will be glorious and full of joy. Money and freedom are enough. Why do you care so much about your man?"
The implication is that you don't have to care where a man's heart lies.
Ye Yuanyin did not dare to agree, so he automatically removed the "we" from "we".
She is not a part of this family. She has no money and no freedom, but she still hopes to get his love.

After separating from Shen Meiyue, Liu Ying assigned Ye Yuanyin another job.
The president had a social engagement in the evening, so he asked her to go check it out in advance.
As a newbie in the workplace, she knew nothing, let alone table manners. She humbly asked for advice for a long time, but Liu Ying always ignored her.
Fortunately, there are social etiquette teachers who teach online on major platforms, but without practice, you will still fall into pitfalls everywhere.
Chen Di'an was also present at that meal.
Ye Yuanyin was completely stretched to the limit. He couldn't understand a single word about the seating arrangement, the dining rules, or the subtext being tossed between the CEOs. He just stood there like a vase, not presentable enough to be seen on the table, smiling and letting everyone else savour his food.
Fourth Uncle Shen Yuheng would often glance at her lightly, and she would act quickly under his guidance. She thought that if a glance was a stab, she would have been pierced like a sieve, riddled with holes.
So embarrassing.
During the meal, Special Assistant Wang winked at her, and the two of them left for a while in tacit understanding.
Dian Yan'an's eyes followed her to the door, and when she looked back, she saw that Feifan's Mr. Chai's eyes were still glued to her.

Special Assistant Wang looked a little embarrassed, and Ye Yuanyin asked, "How is Mumu?"
"I've already fired the confinement nanny. The one who came to pick up the baby that day was her boyfriend. He's not a normal man." Her expression had calmed down considerably, and she spoke sincerely, "Thank you for catching it in time. This prevented the child from suffering further harm. Also, I'm quitting my job. The money I've saved over the past few years is enough to start a new life in a small city. I'll find an easier job. The child needs me."
Ye Yuan, with his strong empathy, nodded and said, "If it were me, I would probably make the same choice."
"No," Special Assistant Wang laughed. "If it were you, this wouldn't happen to your child." Workplace life is treacherous and unpredictable, and it's rare for someone to speak candidly. "You're not good at serving others. Plan your own career well."
These were words from the heart, and Ye Yuanyin was deeply moved and expressed his gratitude sincerely.
"See you again, Assistant Ye."
"goodbye."
Special Assistant Wang left and General Chai followed him out again.
Some people refuse to cherish what they get easily, but think that things they can't get after working hard are good no matter how they look at them. That's why there is such a thing as hunger marketing.
Mr. Chai is a gentleman, and he asked politely, "Assistant Ye, do you like the flowers I gave you?"
After not seeing her for a few days, she had made great progress and had actually learned how to deal with people. "Boss Chai, I am mediocre and don't deserve your kindness."
"Hey, you can't say that! I just like your pure looks and clean temperament. Don't belittle yourself."
Ye Yuanyin gritted his teeth and said, "I'm married, it's really not suitable."
"I've already told you, don't worry about it." Mr. Chai was very fair. "I have a wife too. I'm surrounded by girls, there's no shortage of them. It's rare to meet someone you truly like and have feelings for. Assistant Ye, I really have a good impression of you. At my age, I can still find my youth in you. You are a priceless treasure."
Ye Yuan was unable to get around his heavy body like a mountain, and he was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat.
He and she were too conspicuous. In the card-type private room, with people occasionally opening the door to come in and out, it was like watching an open-air comedy movie.
The man was getting closer and closer to her. Ye Yuanyin held the phone tightly and had already pressed the three numbers "110" on the screen. She was about to call the police.
"I-I love my husband very much. I can't do anything to let him down."
"What a joke." Mr. Chai's patience was almost exhausted. "At your age, love is certainly a good thing, and countless people would go through fire and water for it, but that's determined by the mating instinct. After living together for a long time, all feelings will eventually fade. A poor couple will have many sorrows. It's better to grasp the practical benefits. What do you think?"
"I don't think so." She backed away, thinking, you came to me for mating, didn't you? Why do you have double standards?
Besides, Chen Dian is a hundred times better than you. Why should I give up the priceless jade to be with you, a greasy pig who disregards women's wishes?
Seeing that she refused to give in, Mr. Chai got angry and reached out to grab her arm.
Ye Yuan was so frightened that he tripped in panic and fell into someone's arms.
Looking up, she saw Liancheng Meiyu supporting her.
