Time was like the wind, inadvertently passing by in front of you. Although it did not leave any traces, it was a good medicine to heal your heart. It had been more than three months since Gu Cheng and I parted ways. My hurt heart had really been healed by time. The unhappy past had become a distant memory. I was still the optimistic and strong Ye Qiu.
I had Tian Qian to accompany me at work, and Yanzi to accompany me to chat after work. I had a comfortable time during this period of time. The only depressing thing was that Xiao Yang chased after me and tried to please me, causing me to be ostracized by my colleagues in the entire department. Liu Xue even stirred up trouble, saying that my heart was higher than the sky and my life was thinner than paper! Actually, I don't care what others say about me. I just can't bear to see Xiao Yang's sad face in the end. In order to make Xiao Yang give up, I made my stance clear many times, but he still insisted on his own way and expressed his love even more blatantly than before. He brought me breakfast in the morning, asked me out for lunch, and even helped me deal with patients when I was busy. When I was on the night shift, he was even more on guard. He accompanied me on my night rounds and chatted with me. I was chased by him until I had nowhere to escape. What made me even angrier was that Tian Qian actually became his military advisor and gave him advice behind his back. Xiao Yang knew my temper like the back of his hand, which strengthened his confidence in success. Last week, under Tian Qian's instigation, Xiao Yang actually asked the flower shop at the entrance of the hospital to send me a large bouquet of roses. I wanted to throw the flowers into the trash can at that time, but who knew that Tian Qian would snatch them back and secretly put them in my locker. Liu Pei saw that Xiao Yang was so interested in me and was very unhappy. Our previous relationship had also come to an end. She even secretly worked together with Liu Xue to create trouble for me at work. She even spouted nonsense about how unbearable I was. However, her slander of me didn't stop Xiao Yang from pursuing me. On the contrary, Xiao Yang hated the two of them to the bone. Other than the forced communication at work, he didn't chat with the two of them.
Facing Xiao Yang's love and Liu Pei's hatred, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I don't know what kind of sin I committed in my previous life to be so miserable that I had no place in the department. If it weren't for the honest Xiao Zhang and the cute Tian Qian accompanying me, I would have resigned and gone home in despair under Liu Xue and Liu Pei's blatant and covert attacks.
After a whole day of work, coupled with the tension in my interpersonal relationships, I was mentally exhausted. I dragged my legs that seemed to be filled with lead and pushed open the door. I took off my high heels, but before I could put on the slippers on the shoe rack, Mom asked me about my marriage again as if she was interrogating a criminal.
"Qiuqiu, do you have a suitable candidate? Mom is dying of anxiety!"
I sat on the sofa and said casually,"What's the rush?"
"Don't worry. Gu Cheng has already prepared a one-month-old banquet for the child!”Mom angrily sat opposite me. It seemed that she was prepared to fight with me for a long time. It seemed that if I didn't give her some advice tonight, she wouldn't let me go back to my room to sleep.
When I heard my mother say that Gu Cheng was going to hold a one-month-old banquet for the child, my heart couldn't help but turn cold. My mother said that she couldn't do anything but mention Gu Cheng, that bastard. He and Yao Rao were originally married to a child, so what's so strange about holding a one-month-old banquet for the child? If I was willing to have a child, there were many men who volunteered.
Mom saw that I didn't think much of it and angrily knocked on the coffee table. She said sternly,"Did you hear what I said?"
"I heard it!" I poured a cup of tea and turned on the TV. I thought that a wonderful TV show could divert my mother's attention, but I didn't expect her to be livid. She took the remote control from my hand and turned off the TV. I realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly sat up, waiting for my mother's criticism and education.
"You're still in the mood to watch television? You're almost thirty years old. If you don't get married soon, you'll really become someone no one wants!”Mom finished the tea I poured in one go and looked at me with disappointment.
"Who said that no one wants me? It's just that I haven't thought of who to marry yet!" I shouted at my mom. From the day I divorced Gu Cheng, many colleagues in the hospital wanted to introduce me to a partner. Moreover, a man with good conditions like Xiao Yang was chasing after me relentlessly. How could I not be married? If I hadn't been bent on getting together with Lu Kai, I would have married a man who was even more outstanding than Gu Cheng.
Mom glared at me and said sternly,"What are you shouting for? You don't even know who you're going to marry.”
I'm really disappointed in mom. She doesn't believe in her daughter's strength. After all, I'm a beautiful woman and a white-collar worker in the eyes of others. The only regret I have is that I had a failed marriage. However, in today's society, some men still like divorced women. They think that such women know how to cherish marriage and know how to be patient and tolerant, so I've always been optimistic that I'm still an outstanding woman who hasn't lost fans.
"Mom, are you so pessimistic about your daughter? I inherited your good genes and can be considered one of the best beauties in our neighborhood. If I'm willing, my son-in-law can carry a few trucks!”In order not to make mom angry anymore, I started to beat around the bush and flatter her.
This move was indeed effective. His mother's ashen face immediately smiled, and her tightly furrowed brows relaxed."You only know how to flatter, but you really look like me when I was young!”
"Yes, Mom was definitely prettier than me when she was young!”I was prepared to suck up until the end. As long as Mom didn't force me to get married, I would do anything.
"Sigh, I'm old! What's the use of being pretty? You still can't find a partner!”Mom didn't fall for it and went back to her main topic. It seemed that if he did not give her a peace of mind tonight, this serious conversation would not end.
"Mom, don't worry about me. I already have a suitable candidate!”I can't beat my mother, so I can only tell a little lie first to temporarily calm her down, lest she doesn't want to eat or drink for a day and has a headache about my marriage!
When Mom heard my words, she instantly beamed with joy and asked loudly,"What are you doing? Where are you from? Have you ever been married?"
"Mom, check the household register! You're not from the Household Registration Office. Haha!" I smiled and massaged my mother's back. She had been depressed about my marriage recently. Now that I saw her happy face, my heart felt a little better.
"Go to hell. How can you say that about Mom? This is a big matter of your marriage. Mom naturally has to check it out for you. Hurry up and tell me the truth!”Mom laughed and patted my thigh. She was very interested in this ideal husband that I mentioned. If I didn't explain it to her in detail, she would probably lie in bed tonight and fantasize about what her future son-in-law looked like, what his job was, and whether he would bring happiness to her precious daughter.
"Alright, I'll tell you. He's a teacher of the people, a local. He's the same age as me and has never been married!”I carefully reported the candidate I had in mind, Lu Kai, to Mom.
"Teacher, you're good. You're educated and reasonable, but I don't understand why he hasn't gotten married yet. Is there a problem?”In her mother's eyes, there must be something wrong with an unmarried person who was in his late twenties. Now, she was starting to worry about nothing.
"What's the problem? Nowadays, people advocate late marriage. This young man is handsome, smart, and quick-witted.”I thought of Lu Kai in my heart and wanted to use all the good words to praise him.
"That's good. When you bring him to our house, I'll make you guys delicious food!”When his mother heard that her future son-in-law was very outstanding, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
However, I was worried. Lu Kai was about to marry Yun Shu. How could he come with me to see my mother? In the end, it was all for nothing. But right now, I can only calm my mom down first and then slowly think of a way to bring Lu Kai to her. I believe that Lu Kai will be mine sooner or later.
"Mom, he's in charge of the graduating class. The college entrance exam is in two months, and he's been really busy lately. I'll bring him to see you after the exam!”I lied in front of my mom as I pleased. This is a white lie that I had no choice but to tell. I believe Mom won't blame me. Moreover, Lu Kai is indeed teaching a senior high school student.
"Mom understands. The college entrance examination is so important. We can't let him mislead the children!”his mother said.
I put my arms around my mother's neck and smiled."You should be relieved now!"
"Don't worry, it saves me the trouble of begging your Auntie Liu to introduce you to a partner!”Mom smiled and stroked my hair, her eyes full of love.
"You don't have to think about anything tomorrow. If you want to play mahjong, go play mahjong. If you want to go shopping, go shopping. I promise to bring your son-in-law home!”
"Good! It's getting late. Go to sleep. You still have to work tomorrow!”Mom finally let me go. I was so sleepy that I kept dozing off.
"Good night!" I waved at my mom and slipped into my bedroom. I closed the door and fell asleep on the bed. However, when I lay comfortably on the soft bed, I didn't feel sleepy at all. Thinking about what I had promised my mother just now, I felt another burden in my heart. Lu Kai and Yun Shu's wedding was on Saturday, so I really didn't have much confidence in myself. Although Yunshu was already in the late stages of leukemia, Lu Kai's love for her didn't decrease at all. I felt that people who were happy could live long. Perhaps Yunshu would continue to live like this, and I would have to silently watch over Lu Kai like I did seven years ago, burying my feelings for him deep in my heart. This kind of love is a kind of torture. I don't dare to imagine how long I can endure it. Will my soul be shattered by him? I don't lack men in my life. Xiao Yang's passion is enough to melt my cold heart, but I've always felt that my love for Lu Kai is my unfulfilled wish. Seven years ago, because of my shyness and cowardice, I missed him. Now that God has allowed him to appear in my life again, I definitely won't let go easily. Even if I have to wait for him for another seven years, I will give my heart a home and not bring my regrets to my grave!
