Chapter 39: Shopping with friends, encountering the street
Weekend, ten o'clock, T city center commercial street.
T The downtown commercial street is like the heart of the city, beating with endless vitality and noise. The sun shines down, reflecting the high-rise buildings and the bustling crowds, forming a colorful picture.
The shops on both sides of the street are full of dazzling goods, with neon signs flashing and fashionable windows displaying the latest fashions. People are walking among them, some are carefully selecting goods, while others are rushing on their way.
The coffee shops on the street were filled with the aroma of coffee, people were sitting together chatting quietly, or reading books attentively. Street artists attracted the attention of passers-by with their unique performances, and the sounds of music, singing and laughter intertwined to form a unique urban melody.
I saw her, Lin Xiaoxi, in the crowd. It turned out that their timing was just right.
"There's a traffic jam." Every weekend, the buses are always overcrowded, with all the seats taken and passengers huddled together. I can't help but think: This is probably why I prefer to stay at home? The world outside is too noisy and chaotic.
"It's the same with me. How long have you been here?" She left early, but it still took her nearly an hour to reach her destination. Going out on the weekend is really not easy.
"No, I just got off the bus and walked here." We both don't like to be late, so the time we meet is always just right. This is not accidental, but perhaps it should be said to be a tacit understanding. Who says it's not possible for friends to have a tacit understanding?
"Let's go, let's talk while we walk." We walked hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, together. This innocent friendship is simple and beautiful.
Sometimes, you don't have to go out on weekends, but you want to feel the lively atmosphere. Smiles hang on everyone's face, as if the whole world is full of sunshine and vitality. At least, we still have weekends to enjoy the warm sunshine and dispel the moldy emotions in our hearts. Summer has quietly arrived, and summer clothes and princess dresses have become beautiful scenery in the streets and alleys.
Princess dresses? Puff sleeves? Every time I see them, I can't help but take a second look. However, when I open my closet, I find that most of them are pants. Perhaps I will never be a real princess, but more like a mysterious witch?
Therefore, I don't need to use a princess dress to decorate my innermost feelings. You can't enter my inner world, and you don't have to see my fake smile. The witch's deep affection is only buried deep in my heart.
"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Ayilian always has such a pink tone.
Ayilian, like a fresh and elegant lotus, blooms with unique charm in the fashion trend. This brand weaves beautiful dreams for women with its romantic and elegant style.
Ayilian's design concept combines classical and modern elements, focusing on the carving of details, making each piece of clothing exude a delicate atmosphere. Its colors are rich and soft, such as dreamy pink, fresh blue, and elegant white, as if they are the most beautiful colors in nature.
Ayilian's clothing has smooth lines and fits well, which cleverly outlines the soft curves of women, making them glow with charming brilliance the moment they wear them. Each piece of clothing is like a fine work of art, carrying the designer's hard work and emotions.
Ayilian is not only a brand, but also a life attitude. It encourages women to show their beauty and confidence and pursue inner peace and harmony. In the world of Ayilian, women are the spokespersons of elegance, and they interpret the beauty of life with gentle power.
"Okay, of course! I love this brand. I've seen a top I liked before, I wonder if it's on sale now?" I always like to come to Ayilian. Even if I don't buy anything sometimes, I feel that I can find the feminine charm here and make myself more graceful and gentle.
"Lin Xiaoxi, why do I suddenly find that you have become more and more feminine recently? This change is really eye-opening!" You may have been a little immature and naive before, but now you are more gentle and charming. Just like a blooming flower, exuding a charming fragrance.
Once, she thought that being strong was the only choice, but she gradually forgot how to show the gentle side of a woman. Having been strong for too long, she even forgot that she also had the right to rely on the man in her life, let down her guard, and enjoy the warmth of being loved.
"You don't understand this. Women should live a refined life. Why think too much?" The happiest thing is not to have endless wealth, but to have everything that happens to meet your inner pursuit. Career, love, family, these constitute the puzzle of life, and each piece is crucial.
"Living a refined life? I think your current state is pretty good." Living a refined life? What does it mean to live a refined life? Is it to discover the subtle beauty in the trivial daily life, or to create a peaceful world of your own deep in your heart?
"I feel that my life now is too comfortable, so comfortable that I even forgot that I am not a child anymore." The comfort he gave her made her feel nostalgic, and she really wanted it to be like this for the rest of her life.
However, there is always an illusion lingering in her mind. He seems to be pursuing her, but he has never clearly expressed his feelings.
Is it the ambiguity between lovers that he doesn't say and she doesn't ask? Maybe, or maybe it's just a tacit understanding and temptation between each other. Isn't it said that if he (she) really loves you, he (she) won't play ambiguity with you?
In this complex emotional world, Lin Xiaoxi began to re-examine her life and inner desires. She gradually understood that being strong and feminine are not contradictory, and living a refined life is not an unattainable dream. She must learn to release her inner tenderness under a strong appearance; in a busy life, find her own refinement and beauty. As for the ambiguous relationship, she decided to face it bravely and no longer escape. No matter what the outcome is, at least she will strive for her own happiness once.
"Did he give you the comfort?" The so-called comfort might be more like an indescribable sense of security.
"Oh, maybe, but I really don't understand my heart. Do I love him too?" Thoughts flooded into my mind like a tide. Whenever I recalled him, a warm feeling surged in my heart; when my eyes met his, it seemed that the whole world became peaceful and reassuring. However, deep in my heart, there was always another figure hidden. What was going on? I once firmly believed that I would not fall in love easily again, but why did he break into my heart unknowingly? Every time I think of him, I feel particularly happy.
"Love, love very much, but you can't overcome the barrier in your heart. You thought you wouldn't fall in love with someone easily, but his ambiguity disturbed your love." Love is like a difficult problem. We know that it is difficult, but we still stubbornly look for a solution. Unfortunately, how many people give up halfway through the calculation?
"Maybe? Sometimes I wonder, if it's just him and me, will we be able to go to the end?" Walking hand in hand until we grow old, what a distant yet beautiful phrase!
"Go to the end? A question worth considering." Go to the end? How to define the end? The starting point of holding hands, the end point of walking away from each other?
"But I think Teacher Zhu is really good and very suitable for living at home." He is gentle and elegant, and his every move reveals a mature and steady temperament.
"Hey, Shen Wanning, please don't make it sound like I'm getting married, okay? I'm only 23." Living at home? Why does it sound weird? After all, she was only 23 years old and was not ready to enter the marriage hall so early. She didn't want to care about the trivial daily life, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
"Actually, I think getting married is not a bad thing." Getting married? It sounds like it's far away, but for them at the age of 23 or 24, it's very close.
"What about you? Are you planning to get married?" Marriage is not a bad thing?
"Have you prepared the gift package?" Ready to get married? He didn't want her.
"Always be prepared, are you serious?" Given her current situation, can she really get married? She didn't believe it. Didn't they say there was no future between them?
"I did consider getting married, but he didn't want me to." I imagined how happy I would be when I put on the wedding dress for you, but because he didn't agree, it was just a dream.
"Shen Wanning, can you be more ambitious? When can you say 'I don't want him'?" I really don't know what's so good about him that makes her so devoted to him?
"Can you?" Could she say that? Say no to him?
"I..." Yes, can I do that? Just say 'I don't want him' casually?
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about those men anymore."
"Okay, which dress do you like?" Don't talk about them, don't think about them, just go shopping, just to empty your mind, it's a rare weekend of free time.
"I couldn't find it. Maybe it's from the Lady's Shop?" After walking around the store, I still couldn't find the dress I liked. I thought it must be from the Lady's Shop.
"Lady Shop? It's possible that their styles are too similar." Ayilian, Lady Shop, their ready-to-wear styles are similar to some extent, at least the main colors are the same.
"Let's go." Lady's Square, which is about a hundred meters away, turns left and right.
"Yeah. Wan Ning, shall we go to that restaurant to eat hotpot later?" I like sitting face to face with her, especially in that corner, which seems to have become their secret base.
"Of course, didn't you ask me to treat you yesterday?" She responded with a smile. Unconsciously, they seemed to have gotten used to eating hot pot there, and got used to sitting in that corner and enjoying the scenery outside the window.
"Remember?" he asked in surprise.
"I dare not forget." How dare I forget? Yesterday, I was still complaining about her absence?
"(*^__^*) Hehe...let's go." She gently took her arm, with a happy smile on her face. Because I cherish you, I care about you.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was not dry, but we were already a little tired from shopping, but our hearts were full of satisfaction. Today, we gained a lot, not only buying a pair of beautiful shoes, several fashionable clothes, but also picking up some exquisite and cute accessories.
Time seems to have wings and is passing by rapidly.
It was only after I started working that I deeply realized how precious time is. After all, working time already occupies one-third of our daily life, and various complicated and trivial matters consume another one-third of our energy and time. It is really difficult to squeeze out some time to enjoy my own life.
Until now, I still remember vividly those days when I was worried and anxious all day long in order to find a satisfactory job. At that time, the most abundant thing every day was time, but I was at a loss as to how to spend these free time. Whenever I look back on those confused and helpless years in the past, I can't help but sigh and feel a lot of emotion.
On weekends, the streets are more bustling than on weekdays. Children eat a piece of candied haws with gusto; lovers stroll hand in hand; middle-aged couples walk side by side at a suitable distance. Occasionally, I go out for a stroll alone, not for any other purpose, but just to blend into this lively scene and experience the happiness and joy they have.
All the major shopping malls have also launched discount promotions to attract customers to shop. I looked up casually and saw him across the road, Lu Jinchuan.
I looked over again and it was indeed him!
At this moment, his face was filled with a brilliant smile. Following his line of sight, she was surprised to find that there was a beautiful woman standing next to him. Seeing this, Shen Wanning instantly realized that he was not the only one shopping, but was accompanied by a beautiful woman. She quickly turned her head, trying to hide the bitterness and loss that flashed through her heart.
