People have a certain sense of their own death limit. Miao Yu has a very strong sense of this. Maybe it's because she studied art and is very close to heaven, so her perception is better than that of ordinary people. She thought that Peng Yi's life experience must be known to her.
Peng Yi stared at his mother. "N-Never said that. I never knew this person existed."
Miao Yu turned her head and glanced out the window. "On a summer day like this, he and I also started..."
At that time, willow catkins were floating in the air.
Twenty-year-old Miao Yu rides her bicycle to go to the Academy of Fine Arts every day. Miao Yu does not live on campus, her home is nearby. Her teacher said that she is born with spiritual power and will have a good future if she continues to paint.
One day, when Miao Yu was almost at the Academy of Fine Arts, a very handsome young man came out from the roadside with his hands behind his back. Miao Yu was startled and his bike almost fell over. The young man reached out and grabbed the handle of Miao Yu's bike.
"Who are you?" Miao Yu asked.
"I'm the clerk of our street, remember?" he said.
"No - I don't remember." Miao Yu looked at him with surprise and innocence. At that time, she was twenty years old and didn't understand anything.
"That's right. I'm just a clerk at the lowest level. You are the most popular swan in our area, so this is for you." As he spoke, he handed over a transparent mask made of silk. It was very exquisite and embroidered with flowers. It looked delicate and cute. Miao Yu couldn't let it go and she couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Did you give it to me?" Miao Yu asked, also impressed by the boy's attentiveness.
"Yes." The boy didn't say anything. He said he made it himself. If he said he made it himself, Miao Yu would definitely ask him how he did it, which would make him seem very effeminate. So he didn't say anything.
Miao Yu put it on and found it very transparent and breathable. Miao Yu was very happy and it was just right for keeping out the willow catkins.
But after all, it was their first meeting, and it wasn't nice to ask for someone else's things, so Miao Yu had to return them to him.
"Is it appropriate for a grown man like me to wear something that looks like something for a delicate young woman?"
Miao Yu smiled and said yes.
The man was very happy to see Miao Yu agreed to accept it. He raised his wrist to check his watch and said, "I'm out here to do something. I'm going back to work to punch out. Goodbye."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Miao Yu recognized the watch he raised his wrist to look at; it was a famous brand—Meihua.
When Miao Yu saw the watch, he thought that the man should be quite solemn and serious. Why could you judge a man's taste by looking at his watch? But at that time, Miao Yu did not see that he was also a man with extremely high demands on himself. Because now he did not have the financial foundation to afford this watch. This was the money he saved to buy a watch after working for a year last year. If he wanted to develop better in the future, he had to work hard to climb up.
This young man has ambitions and goals in this regard.
Because he worked on the street where Miao Yu lived, after Miao Yu knew about it, the two met often, so they became friends after a few visits. At that time, Miao Yu's father thought that the other party had a stable job and was a civil servant, so he agreed.
He wanted to go to the provincial capital for further studies because he wanted to move up a level and couldn't stay on the streets when he was fifty or sixty.
At that time, Miao Yu was already pregnant, and he needed money to go to school. In order to avoid being expelled from the school, Miao Yu voluntarily dropped out of school. He married Miao Yu before he went to school.
He is continuing his undergraduate studies, which will take two years.
In the past two years, Miao Yu gave birth to a child and went to work in a garment factory to support his studies.
Miao Yu was very happy every day because she always felt that a noble husband would bring honor to his wife, not to mention that he already had a child.
Later, she received the divorce certificate——
Peng Yi's father wanted to be promoted, and he was unwilling to stay in this place for the rest of his life.
Peng Yi's mother cried all night, but she finally understood the truth - men are unreliable.
What's more, in the past two years, the two of them have been together less and less.
She is still the same Miao Yu, but he is not the same person as before.
Miao Yu never forces others to do things, nor does he make things difficult for himself. He knows that a forced melon will not be sweet, so he divorced decisively.
"What happened next?" Peng Yi continued to ask.
Her hands were shaking a little. This was the first time she heard her mother's old stories and her father's stories.
I don’t know if it was because my mother didn’t want to mention that person’s name or what, but from beginning to end, the name “Peng Yan” never appeared in Miao Yu’s mouth.
Peng Yi didn't care what that person's name was, because he had nothing to do with her anymore.
"Later? There was no later. He married the person who could catapult him to the top. Isn't Mom's vision ridiculous?"
"How could that be? I think you are amazing, mom. You dropped out of school to support his education. No matter how many mistakes you made, they were all his fault. You didn't cheat on him. You were loyal to him. It's not your fault. You will never have another man in your life. He has no vision. Besides, when you say this now, I don't have any feelings for him at all. Not close, not even a vague shadow." Peng Yi looked at the catkins outside, which were getting bigger and bigger, like flying snow all over the sky.
But because there is the sun, I feel full of vitality.
Peng Yi returned to the dormitory and lay on the bed thinking about this incident, unable to fall asleep.
I wanted to tell Jiang Yanmin, but I didn't say it in the end.
Everyone has their own privacy, now and in the future.
This was Peng Yi's past experience, and she didn't feel ashamed of it, but she didn't want to tell Jiang Yanmin because it was her private matter and her mother's private matter as well.
