Since met you

Chapter 1 If life could be better than the first sight (1)
What is Beijing like?

What is written in the book is: Beijing is a city where no one will pay attention to you even if you shout on the road.

But what Ye Shuying firmly believes in her heart is: as long as you shout loud enough, you can always hear your own echo.

"Beijing! I'm coming!" Ye Shuying dragged her suitcase on the road. It was the end of February. She had already put on a thin coat when she was in the south, but she had to wear it again when she came to Beijing. Put on a cotton coat.She took a deep breath, and seeing the cold air coming out, she suddenly had a strong sense of reality that she had finally come to the north, and couldn't help but yelled.

As a result, all the people on the road turned their heads and looked over, their eyes clearly expressed their thoughts at the moment: Is this person crazy?
The book is indeed a lie!Beijing, like any other city, is a city where people will roll their eyes at you if you shout on the street.Ye Shuying shrugged and smiled, and continued to drag her luggage towards the hostel.

Ye Shuying grew up in a small city in Jiangsu. She went to Nanjing when she was in college. In the first 20 years of her life, she never set foot in the northern land. Even if she traveled, she only went further south. This time she came to Beijing by accident. Firstly, because the company she is about to intern at is the place she has been longing for since she was in college, and secondly, because she hopes to have a new possibility in her life, the possibility of leaving the protection of her parents and exploring her own world alone. .

So at dinner one day, Ye Shuying shared her decision, and her father spit out after taking a bite of the meal: "What? What are you doing, a girl, running so far away!"

Ye Shuying frowned: "What! Didn't you go to Yunnan to serve as a soldier when you were young? I don't want to stay in one place all the time. The world is so big, I want to go..."

"If you want to see it, I'll give you some money. It's okay for you to play around and come back to work." Father Ye immediately put on a very open-minded look.

Ye Shuying shook her head: "Didn't you always say that I can't bear hardships? I really want to go out to hone myself, why are you not satisfied? Also, I went to Huatu Culture this time, which is our department It’s a dream place for so many people here. Besides, shouldn’t I go for an internship first? With the internship experience in a big company, isn’t it easier to go back to Nanjing to find a job?”

So in the next two hours, Ye Shuying took the No. 1 posture of the campus speech contest, first talked about how powerful the company she was going to convince people with reason, and then talked about her desire to pursue her dream with emotion, He didn't stop until he was touched, and looked at Dad blinking.

Who is Ye's father?That is the dean of the school, who is notorious for being soft and hard. He sighed and said earnestly: "Oh, if you are a child from Uncle Wang's next door, I would probably be scared if I heard what you said. I was so moved that I cried, and then I said to you, 'Go, go', young people, go for your dreams. But you are my daughter, I..."

Dad, is the uncle next door obviously surnamed Li?You’ve read a lot of Weibo jokes recently, is it really okay to tell the old man next door to black him like this?Ye Shuying kept complaining in her heart, but on the surface she still acted like she was listening carefully. After all, her father was in charge of everything in the family, and she couldn't offend at will.

At this time, Mama Ye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Actually, it's not that no one will take care of you when you go to Beijing. Doesn't President Chen's son also work in Beijing? That child is reliable. If Shuying really wants to go to Beijing, let him take care of him." Just take care of it, won't you?"

"Chen Yushi?" Ye Shuying saw her father sitting opposite frown slightly, and then smiled after thinking about it, "Yes, Youyushi, I forgot. Oh, don't you mean Shuying? ..."

"I don't." Ye Shuying stroked her forehead helplessly.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you go out to exercise." Papa Ye completely ignored her and nodded to himself.

"Father, I know you're thinking about something messy, but I'm not..." Ye Shuying tried hard to bring the topic on the right track.

But Papa Ye suddenly put away his smile at this moment, turned serious again, and took a serious look at Ye Shuying, which made her shut up in fright: "Shuying, this is the first time you have made such a big decision at such an age." , I don’t object to you anymore. Parents certainly want you to be stable, but if you really want to go to Beijing, then come back after making some achievements.” After speaking, she stood up and patted Ye Shuying on the shoulder Went to the study.

Ye Shuying was a little helpless, looked at her mother and sighed: "You said my dad, I told him for two hours and he was still unmoved. When he heard that Brother Chen was also in Beijing, he immediately let go. I think Chen Brother is his own, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Mother Ye smiled, "Your dad actually wants to see your determination. If you give up after just a few words, then we don't have to worry about it. It is said that parents want their children to be stable, but your dad is here After staying in the small city for so many years, I have been very aggrieved, do I hope that my daughter can complete what he has not done?"

"Mom," Ye Shuying ran over and hugged her mother's waist, "My daughter will not let you down."

"Yeah. Take good care of yourself outside. But..." Mother Ye suddenly changed the subject, "That child Yushi is really good, do you want to..."

"Goodbye." Ye Shuying immediately let go, and ran back to the room as if fleeing.

Afterwards, after a strategy for Beijing, she packed her bags and crossed half a map of China to come here.

After Ye Shuying dragged her suitcase for a kilometer, she finally came to the door of the booked youth hostel. There stood a boy in a formal suit, waving at her.Ye Shuying trotted forward in a hurry and called out sweetly: "Brother Chen!"

This is Chen Yushi, the son of Ye Shuying's father who works as the principal of the high school, and what her father called "the most talented student I have met in the past 20 years of teaching". Work in the company, and now I have resigned to start a business after only working for three years, and I seem to be a winner in life.The two grew up together. When Chen Yushi was in high school, he drove Ye Shuying to the junior high school every day and then to his own high school. In addition, both of them studied well. They are already "childhood sweethearts" that adults think are very good. , but you have to say that there is really any love relationship between the two of you...

Anyway, Ye Shuying didn't exist.The elder brother Chen in front of him had a neat suit, a handsome face, and a refined smile. That's the type that a typical middle-aged woman would like, but he was in his prime, so he had to find a romantic and uninhibited one.Ye Shuying looked at Brother Chen's eyes and smiled into a moon, but she was complaining silently in her heart.

"Don't pretend, brother Chen? I'm going to throw up." Chen Yushi reached out and patted Ye Shuying on the head.

"Okay, Old Chen. What do you take me to eat?" Ye Shuying stuck out her tongue.Yes, Old Chen is what she has always called Chen Yushi, because since she was a child, she felt that Chen Yushi was old-fashioned and unsmiling, which was especially worthy of the title Old Chen.

Chen Yushi thought for a while: "There is a good buffet near the International Trade Center, and there is also a Spanish restaurant..."

"I want to eat old Beijing shabu-shabu!"

"roll!"

"Hey, why do you think Beijingers love sesame sauce so much?" Ye Shuying stirred a piece of beef into the sesame sauce, and shook her head in disgust after tasting it, "It's not good. Boss, give it to me." Hoisin sauce."

Chen Yushi sighed, he touched his clothes distressedly, he must smell like hot pot after going back.

"Old Chen, eat and eat." Ye Shuying enthusiastically picked up a piece of beef for him.

"Okay." Chen Yushi finally gave up resisting, and buried his head in eating, "Say, girl, where do you want to go for a while?"

"The World Trade Center, I saw someone proposing there before, and I swiped a whole screen of text messages, so I wanted to check it out." Ye Shuying said.

Chen Yushi nodded: "Okay, it's a normal place after all."

"How do you talk, Old Chen!" Ye Shuying put down her chopsticks.

"Eat fast, eat fast, it will be late later, and the lights on the sky steps will be turned off, then you won't be able to see the romantic swiping text messages." Chen Yushi hurriedly changed the topic.

"Oh." Ye Shuying waved to the waiter, "Boss, another bottle of Arctic Ocean!"

"Great!" Ye Shuying jumped under the huge LED screen of the World Trade Center, surrounded by or not far from high-rise buildings shining with faint blue light, surrounded by some familiar scenes and pictures, as if It has been seen in many movies and TV shows.She almost had an illusion for a moment: this place seemed to be the center of the universe.

"This is Beijing. Great Beijing."

But here, of course, is not the center of the universe, just like the World Trade Center where they are standing now, it is not the real Beijing at all.

"This is not Beijing." Standing beside Ye Shuying, Chen Yushi smiled and pointed to the distance, "Can you see it over there?"

"I see." Ye Shuying nodded, "They are all beautiful buildings."

"No." Chen Yushi shook his head, "I mean the neighborhoods hidden behind those high-rise buildings. Those are some very old houses. You can smell a musty smell when you walk in the corridors. The decoration of the rooms is all upscale. In the 80s, if you lived in it, you could see the dust falling from the ceiling."

"This is Beijing? Old Chen, aren't you talking about the small towns that don't shit around our house?" Ye Shuying opened her mouth wide.

"No." Chen Yushi patted Ye Shuying on the shoulder, "Even for such a dilapidated room, it costs at least 2000 yuan to rent a very small single room."

Ye Shuying's mouth opened even wider.

Chen Yushi looked forward with a smile, looked at the dimly lit city, and said with emotion: "This is Beijing."

"Old Chen, have you ever lived in such a house?" Ye Shuying asked curiously.

Chen Yushi nodded: "Yes, I also lived in this kind of house when I just graduated. An ordinary two-bedroom and one-living room was divided into small single rooms by an intermediary company, and lived in five families. After getting up in the morning, I have to rush to use the bathroom, the room is so damp that mushrooms grow, and a young couple next door quarrels every day, so I can’t sleep well every night. Don’t mention it, it’s painful just thinking about it.”

"I don't want to live in such a house..." Ye Shuying had an ominous premonition in her heart. Although she is currently living in a youth hostel, she plans to start looking for a house tomorrow, and simply thinks that renting a house in Beijing is a good idea. A very easy task.

"Oh, by the way, a former colleague of mine recently resigned and returned to his hometown. He wanted to sublet the house he rented before it expired. Don't you work in Zhongguancun? It's quite close to your place. I told him, I will go to see the house tomorrow. He has already returned to his hometown, but his roommate is still there. That place is in Anheqiao. Have you heard of Song Dongye? It is the one who sang "Miss Dong". It is said that he used to live in Anheqiao. .”

"Oh, oh, I know, it's just..." Ye Shuying was a fan of folk songs when she was in college, and she had already sang with Song Dongye in major music festivals long before "Miss Dong" was bad. Just when she was halfway through speaking, she saw a person rushing over from the side.She hurried away, but the man grabbed her hand.

Ye Shuying looked down and saw a thin young man, probably about the same age as herself, with disheveled hair, slightly long bangs covering her eyes, and a flushed face. She looked drunk.

While grabbing Ye Shuying, he collapsed and muttered to himself, "Don't leave me, don't go."

Ye Shuying was taken aback, and several people around who seemed to be the boy's friends ran over, seeing him holding Ye Shuying's hand and muttering to himself, he didn't know whether to come up and arrest him Walk.Standing aside, Chen Yushi hesitated whether to drive this drunkard away from Ye Shuying.

Ye Shuying looked up at the boy in front of her, her tone was piercing, her eyes were full of floods, she couldn't help feeling pity, she patted the boy's shoulder helplessly, and said, "Okay, I won't go, I won't go Let's go. But let go of your hands first."

The boy cried even more fiercely, holding Ye Shuying's hand tightly: "You said that when a person likes someone at the beginning, he thinks it is for the rest of his life, and he wishes to be with him for thousands of years. But as long as it is alive People, there will always be a day that will make you tired. I am so tired that I don’t want to answer his phone, don’t want to hear his voice, people who don’t want to see him, or even think of him, will feel sick and irritated. I used to want to be with him so much Together, but looking at him now, no matter how you look at it, he is disgusting and ugly. We have been together for so many years, why do you have to leave me? "

"This..." Ye Shuying was at a loss, "I don't know about this either."

"Yeah, you don't know either, and you always say you don't know either." The boy let go of Ye Shuying's hand, fell to the ground, and stared blankly at the sky.

Seeing this, the few people on the side rushed over and dragged him away with hugs and drags.Chen Yushi patted the shocked Ye Shuying: "Scared? Beijing is also a gathering place for literary and artistic youth, and here, you can easily lose your dreams and love if you are not careful."

"That person," Ye Shuying frowned slightly, "it's too hypocritical to be able to utter a series of love sentiments so coherently when drunk. One."

"I can't be so hypocritical. What dreams, love, don't think so complicated." Ye Shuying laughed, "I want to take every step of my life steadily and steadily in Beijing! "

In February 2015, the winter in Beijing was quietly leaving, and a senior graduate student named Ye Shuying officially stepped into the city of Beijing.At that time, she was 2 years old, and she was standing at the top of her youth, ready to meet the best Beijing and the best self.

Originally, Chen Yushi agreed to accompany Ye Shuying to look at the house, but the company had to rush to work overtime because of emergency. After all, as an entrepreneur, he often had to set an example.So Ye Shuying could only look for the address he sent by herself.

"I know that those summers, like youth, can't come back, and what can replace dreams can only be reluctant." Ye Shuying came here humming Song Dongye's "Anhe Bridge" all the way, here is the same as yesterday's World Trade Center Tianjie is different from the moldy dilapidated old building that the senior said. This place is like a small village, surrounded by green mountains and green waters. Listening to Song Dongye's songs, I just feel a breath of literature and art rushing towards my face.

Not bad.Ye Shuying smiled, looked up at the house number - 5, Building 502, it should be here.She was about to knock on the door, but just as she stretched out her hand, the door was swung open.A man was standing in front of her with a toothbrush in his mouth, squinting his eyes and looking her up and down.

"Ah!" Ye Shuying exclaimed, and hurriedly covered her eyes, but recalled it in a flash. Although the boy looked sleepy, but the clothes and pants were well dressed, and he didn't show his chest or legs, and he didn't cover his face. Needless to say, he put his hand down in embarrassment.

"Who are you?" The boy was taken aback by Ye Shuying's action, and took a step back, with white foam flying from his mouth.

"Who are you!" Ye Shuying also took a step back, "I haven't knocked on the door yet, how can you open it?"

The boy was stunned for a moment, unable to understand the logic for a moment, watched Ye Shuying for a while, and said, "You sing too loudly." Then he turned his head and left.

"Hey, hello." Ye Shuying yelled from behind, "Don't go, I was introduced by Chen Yushi to look at the house, he should have made an appointment with you."

"Got it, come in." The boy walked into the toilet, ignored her, and brushed his teeth on his own.
