Blackening starts from the golden years

The examination room in the first teaching building for the National Postgraduate Entrance Examination.

Walking out of the examination room, Huang Yimei's face was filled with a confident smile. She was going to study for a master's degree in the Department of Psychology at Fudan University in Shanghai.

In the evening, at Yuan Xudong's home, Huang Yime's arms tightly clasped Yuan Xudong's broad shoulders, her pretty face blushing.

After a long time, Yuan Xudong landed beside her, looked at her and smiled:
“Why do you want to study psychology in Shanghai?”

Looking up at Yuan Xudong, Huang Yimei took the initiative to snuggle into his arms and murmured:
"During this exhibition, I met some children with brain diseases and psychological disorders. They are very smart, but have no way to communicate with the outside world. I am very curious about what their inner world is like."

After listening to Huang Yimei quietly, Yuan Xudong gently hugged her, caressing her soft body with his right hand, looking down at her and smiling:
"But this goes against your future career plan."

Looking up at Yuan Xudong, Huang Yimei smiled and said:

"Tina told me that life should be created freely. I want to give it a try."

"Okay, then give it a try. I support you."

Looking at Huang Yimei, Yuan Xudong smiled.

"Well, thank you."

Huang Yimei smiled.

Looking at her, Yuan Xudong then asked:

"But there are so many universities in Beijing, why do you have to go to Shanghai for graduate studies?"

"My brother often says that I can't take care of myself, so I want to take this opportunity to go to an unfamiliar city and study by myself."

Looking at Yuan Xudong, Huang Yimei smiled.

"Are you going on such a long journey alone?"

"Okay, my dad said that the tree will grow as tall as the pot size, and it can only grow up if it leaves home."

"You quit a good job. Are you sure you won't regret it later?"

“People must have the courage to make decisions, and also the courage to accept failure.”

"then what do I do?"

Holding Huang Yimei and pressing her under him, Yuan Xudong looked at her and smiled:
"What if I miss you?"

"If you miss me, you can come to Shanghai to see me, or wait for me to return to Beijing."

Looking at Yuan Xudong, Huang Yimei smiled and said:
"I now understand that love should not be the whole of our life, but only a part of it."

"Huang Yimei."

Yuan Xudong called Huang Yime's name softly.

"Ok?"

Huang Yimei raised her eyes and looked at him.

"You are so cruel."

Looking at Huang Yimei, Yuan Xudong smiled slightly and said:
"I'm going to punish you severely."

"come on."

Looking up at Yuan Xudong who was pressing on her, Huang Yimei smiled eagerly and said:

"I'm not afraid of you."

Looking at her, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but smile, and he leaned down.

……

The next morning, Huang Yimei's mother Wu Yuejiang called her and asked her to go shopping with her, saying that she wanted to buy some things for her to take to Shanghai for her studies.

Huang Yimei didn’t sleep all night last night, so she couldn’t get up now, so she changed her time to the afternoon.

Huang Yimei slept until two o'clock in the afternoon. She quickly got up, washed, put on her clothes, hugged and kissed Yuan Xudong, and then went out with her bag.

Department store.

Huang Yimei was shopping with her mother Wu Yuejiang.

"This is our goose down quilt for all seasons. Take a look."

"Let me see."

Wu Yuejiang wanted to buy a quilt for Huang Yimei and take it directly to Shanghai, but Huang Yimei quickly pulled her out of the store.

"Mom, if you have anything missing, go there and buy more. Shanghai has everything."

“Welcome next time.”

"Thank you."

"You don't need to buy so much. It's like you're fleeing."

"A mother worries when her child is far away. Just think of it as accompanying her shopping to relieve her anxiety."

"No, I'm already this old, it's not like I haven't been to Shanghai before, it's okay."

"No matter how old you are, you are still my daughter. I would be worried if you left home at fifty."

"I'll treat you to dessert. Come on. It's a cure for anxiety."

Huang Yimei smiled, she put her arm around Wu Yuejiang's shoulders and walked into a dessert shop.

……

In a dessert shop.

While eating dessert, Wu Yuejiang looked at Huang Yimei who was sitting opposite him and asked:

"You're going to Shanghai for graduate studies. What does Xiao Yuan say?"

Looking at her mother, Huang Yimei smiled and said:

"Then he must support me."

"You, just do your best."

Wu Yuejiang rolled his eyes at Huang Yimei and said angrily:

"You insisted on going to Shanghai for graduate school. I asked you to go for graduate school before, but you insisted on working. Now that your job is stable, you want to go for graduate school again, and go to Shanghai, which is so far away, to study psychology. You just like to go against your mother, don't you?"

"Oh, I didn't know what to study in graduate school before, but now I know."

Huang Yimei smiled.

"You, you and Xiao Yuan are in a long-distance relationship, is that okay?"

"No problem, I have confidence in him, don't worry."

"I'm talking about you, not Xiao Yuan."

Wu Yuejiang gave Huang Yimei a blank look and reminded her:
"You went to Shanghai to study by yourself. There will definitely be a lot of boys who will pursue you because you are pretty. You have to keep your distance from them, understand?"

"I know, don't worry."

Huang Yimei smiled as she looked at Wu Yuejiang. Looking at her, Wu Yuejiang said angrily:

"It would be strange if I could rest assured. Take care of yourself. Don't wait until you lose something to regret it. You should cherish what you have now."

"Ok, I know."

Huang Yimei smiled.

……

Time passed and soon it was the day for university to start. Huang Yimei went to Shanghai alone to enroll. Originally, Yuan Xudong and Huang Zhenhua wanted to send her to Shanghai, but she refused and insisted on coming to Shanghai alone to enroll.

On the day of freshman registration, Huang Yimei walked into the Fudan campus dragging a suitcase.

"Hello, is this the psychology department?"

"Yes."

"Okay, okay."

"Please fill out the form first."

"Okay, do you want to sign here?" "Yes."

Just as Huang Yimei was signing in at the new student registration office, her pleasant voice caught the attention of Fang Xiewen who was passing by. He was in charge of guiding new students into school.

Turning around and following the voice, he saw Huang Yimei, wearing a black suit and shorts. Her two long, straight, white, tender legs were exposed. Compared with the immature freshmen around her, Huang Yimei was undoubtedly much sexier and more mature. At this time, Huang Yimei had signed her name. She turned around and walked into the campus with the suitcase beside her. When Fang Xiewen saw her beautiful and delicate face, he fell in love with her at first sight. Bah, it should be said that he was attracted by her beauty.

Seeing the pretty school girl, Fang Xiewen simply left the school girl who looked average beside him and handed her over to the other people at the registration office, and he went straight to Huang Yimei.

Walking up to Huang Yimei, he reached out to help her with the suitcase and said with a smile:

"Classmate, where are you going? Let me help you."

"No, I can do it myself, thank you."

Huang Yimei refused directly. She pulled the suitcase behind her, slightly avoiding Fang Xiewen, then walked around him and left dragging the suitcase.

Fang Xiewen kept looking at her back as she left. At this time, two male classmates beside him came over and also looked at Huang Yimei's back as she left and said with a smile:
"Such a beautiful girl, which actress does she look like?"

"Oh my god, those long legs are so white, they are exactly my type."

After watching Huang Yimei's back disappear, Fang Xiewen turned around and looked at his two classmates and said:

"I say, you two, are you welcoming the new bride or choosing a concubine? Don't talk about others behind their backs, okay?"

"We both say whatever we want to say, unlike some people who keep it in their mind but don't say it out loud."

A boy smiled and said that they were all classmates and knew each other's personalities. Although everyone was just talking to each other in a joking tone, many things were obvious from the details. At this time, Fang Xiewen had begun to expose his true nature. He was sanctimonious and hypocritical. In the original book, after he and Huang Yime got married, he had a strong desire for control. He said that the man should be the breadwinner and the woman should be the homemaker. He didn't let Huang Yime go to work or touch money. He was calculating everywhere and was inferior and sensitive in his heart.

As a result, Huang Yimei lived a miserable life. She didn't even have 50 yuan when she wanted to buy something. In the end, she finally divorced Fang Xiewen.

A man like Fang Xiewen is very humble when he is at a disadvantage, and very arrogant when he succeeds. When he was pursuing Huang Yimei, he treated her like a princess, but after they got married, he treated her like his vassal and private property.

Of course, things are different now. With the big villain Yuan Xudong around, a small scoundrel like Fang Xiewen naturally can't make any waves.

"Work, work."

Fang Xiewen said he was working and asked his two classmates to continue welcoming the new students. He sneaked to the psychology department next door, took a look at the new student registration book of their department, and secretly wrote down the name that Huang Yime had just signed.

……

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. Huang Yimei also started her college life again. She felt that everything around her was good, but what she didn't know was that Fang Xiewen had been secretly eyeing her.

He likes Huang Yime, but unlike most people who pursue girls, he has been secretly following Huang Yime for more than a month, just like the perverted men in Korean dramas. He has figured out Huang Yime's study and life trajectories, and has made plans to pursue her. It can only be said that it is all carefully calculated. Just like his classmate said, he doesn't say it, but he keeps it in his heart.

night.

In the girls' dormitory, Huang Yimei wrote an email to Su Gengsheng.

[Susu, how are you these days? It’s been more than a month since school started, and I’m getting more and more used to the climate and life here…]

……

On the other side, at Su Gengsheng's home.

[Susu, how are you these days? It has been more than a month since the start of school. I am getting used to the climate and life here. Although I call home every week, there are some things I only want to tell you. Writing to you is like organizing my thoughts. You are my tree hole. First, I have good news to tell you. I found a job as a waiter in a German beer house. Psychology is the science of studying people. I want to get in touch with real people and society more, and learn while practicing.

Studying is mentally exhausting, working is physically exhausting. I go to work after class every day, and my brain and body are both exhausted. I fall asleep as soon as I return to the dormitory at night. The feeling of returning to campus is both familiar and unfamiliar. The memory of books and classes has not faded, but I am no longer the same person I used to be. There are not many classes in the first year of graduate school. Apart from work, I listen to lectures, watch movies, and go to the library. Being in school always makes people feel very fulfilled. 】

Yuan Xudong was sitting on a chair in front of the computer. As for Su Gengsheng, she was sitting on Yuan Xudong's lap, held in his arms.

After reading Huang Yimei's e-mail full of hypocrisy and petty bourgeoisie, Yuan Xudong kissed Su Gengsheng's lips in his arms, looked down at her and smiled:
"Read the letter to me."

"Susu, how are you these days? It's been more than a month since school started, and I'm getting more and more used to the climate and life here..."

Su Gengsheng was reading Huang Yimei's letter obediently. At this time, Yuan Xudong stood up and pressed Su Gengsheng down on the table in front of him.

"Studying is mentally exhausting, working is physically exhausting, and after class every day I go to work... um..."

She continued to read Huang Yimei's letter intermittently.

"…The feeling of returning to school is both… familiar and strange… hmm…"

……

The next morning, on the Fudan campus in Shanghai.

Walking out of the teaching building, Fang Xiewen caught up with the classmate walking in front of him.

"Lin Hao, I can't take the tutoring job you introduced to me before. How about asking other classmates?"

"You're quitting tutoring?"

Lin Hao was a little surprised. Looking at him, Fang Xiewen smiled and said:
“I got a part-time job at a German beer house, and that’s when I ran out of time.”

"No, you're really good. Why did you suddenly go to work in a beer house? You only make so much money by serving dishes. Why did you give up your white-collar job and do a blue-collar job? What's the idea?"

The real reason was that Huang Yimei worked in the beer house, and Fang Xiewen wanted to take the opportunity to get close to her, so that he could get the upper hand. On the surface, he smiled and explained:
"Tutoring is too comfortable. Try some physical labor to combine work and rest."

"Row."

……

In the German beer house, Huang Yimei couldn't understand Shanghainese, so she met a Shanghainese auntie who ordered food in a coquettish voice. She then criticized her for her poor service attitude. Fang Xiewen quickly stepped forward to help her out.

"thank you."

"polite."

“Are you from Shanghai?”

"No, I'm from the Northeast, from Yanji. I've been in Shanghai for a few years. If you want to learn Shanghainese, I can teach you."

Looking at Huang Yimei, Fang Xiewen smiled. He had known for a long time that Huang Yimei worked in this German beer house, and that he and Huang Yimei were both students of Fudan University, but he did not reveal his identity and pretended to have come here to work by chance.

"Thanks, but no."

Huang Yimei smiled and left. Although she had met Fang Xiewen on the day of enrollment, Huang Yimei did not remember him.

……

At this time, Beijing, Huang family.

After talking to Su Gengsheng on the phone, Huang Zhenhua learned that his sister Huang Yimei was working part-time as a waitress in a beer house.

After hanging up the phone, Huang Zhenhua changed his shoes and prepared to go out. At this time, Huang Jianru and Wu Yuejiang came over and said with a smile:

"Zhenhua, please invite Xiao Su to your house for dinner one day."

"what?"

"We missed your sister."

"If you miss my sister, call her. What does that have to do with Su Gengsheng?"

Huang Zhenhua asked in confusion. Looking at him, Wu Yuejiang said:

"From what you said, tell Rose everything and let her come home to talk about it."

"Oh, she has her own business. She's not my sister's babysitter, nor is she your intelligence agent. There's no need to fight for a meal..."

At this point, Huang Zhenhua finally reacted, and he said helplessly:

"Hey, have you guys gone all the way to the South Pole? I told you, she's not my girlfriend, what's going on?"

Wu Yuejiang said:

"If she's not a girlfriend, then she's a friend. Let's meet each other."

"I won't talk to you anymore. I have something else to do. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Huang Zhenhua hurried out. He liked Su Gengsheng, but he felt that Su Gengsheng didn't seem to like him, so he never dared to confess to her and just got along with her as an ordinary friend.

……

In the evening, Huang Zhenhua asked Su Gengsheng to go jogging with him. While running, he said to Su Gengsheng in a joking tone:

"I told you, my mom is overthinking it if she wants to buy you off with a meal."

"what does it mean?"

Su Gengsheng looked at Huang Zhenhua in confusion.
