Novel: Sun Xiaoqian’s perfect life—a good story worth recalling

01

Sun Xiaoqian feels that her marriage is unhappy.

She and her husband Wang Ping met on a blind date after work.

When she was in college, she had a boyfriend, and they got along very well. However, when she was about to graduate, due to the pressure of finding a job, and after some painful struggles, Sun Xiaoqian finally chose to return to college. She went to live with her parents, while her boyfriend stayed in Beijing to start a business. This relationship lasted for another two years while the two places were separated, but eventually ended without any illness.

To be fair, Sun Xiaoqian is not particularly beautiful, but she has fair skin, a well-proportioned figure, a pair of almond-shaped eyes as moist and smart as a deer, and a gentle and charming temperament. Therefore, those who chase her after work Quite a few.

But Sun Xiaoqian’s parents always felt that those men were unreliable until they met Wang Ping on a blind date.

Wang Ping works as a physics teacher in a middle school and graduated from a 985 college. His parents are civil servants and his family is well-off. These hardware conditions fully meet the requirements of Sun Xiaoqian’s parents. During the few months they were dating, Wang Ping behaved in a down-to-earth and steady manner, without being utilitarian or calculating. At first glance, he looked like the kind of good man who could live a lifetime.

Sun Xiaoqian, who has experienced the ups and downs of love, has long felt tired. She is not a person with particularly good ideas. She thinks that she has missed her love anyway, so it is better to obey her parents' arrangements, which will save a lot of worry. .

So, the two got married.

Life after marriage was indeed smooth, with a car, a house and children, but Sun Xiaoqian always felt that something was missing.

Wang Ping is very busy at work and always has to make up classes. After class, he either slumped on the sofa or sat in front of the computer playing games.

No emotion in life.

His appearance is not her type either: she wears high heels, Wang Ping is as tall as her, and he is slightly fat, with a flabby belly, no chest muscles, and wears glasses.

Sun Xiaoqian’s hobby is reading novels, especially long foreign novels with romantic plots; she also likes to watch feature films and occasionally catch up on popular TV series.

But none of these husbands were interested.

A while ago, "Nirvana in Fire" was so popular that Sun Xiaoqian was obsessed with it.

That day, on a whim, she pulled him to watch it together, but he couldn't sit still for five minutes. He muttered, "It's boring, it takes a lot of brain power." Then he raised his buttocks and went back to the study to continue spanking. The game was over, leaving Sun Xiaoqian sitting on the sofa with a dark face.

The breath she held in her chest was enough to explode a ton of explosives.

The mother-in-law was sitting at the dining table feeding fruit to her grandson. When she saw that the atmosphere was not right, she hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Oh, he has made up lessons for the students all day, and his brain is tired. Let him go! Let him relax... ..."

Sun Xiaoqian felt that her mother-in-law's words were obviously protective, and she felt even more aggrieved, with tears welling up in her eyes.

No longer in the mood to watch TV series, she walked into the bedroom, lay on the bed, and cried silently.

What’s the point of days like this? Without communication, without communication, life is like a pool of stagnant water.

After that, she banned Wang Ping from playing games.

She accused him of having poor taste, not looking like a teacher at all, and always playing games in his spare time, which would also have a bad influence on the children in the future.

Later, Wang Ping really quit gaming.

Wang Ping, who had given up gaming, had no other hobbies, so he had to start watching TV series. However, his taste in watching TV series was very single, and he only loved spy movies and anti-Japanese dramas.

So, the days after get off work became that Sun Xiaoqian used the computer to watch movies and catch up on popular dramas, and Wang Ping sat on the sofa in the living room like a statue that has not changed for thousands of years, looking at the things that have not changed for thousands of years. Anti-war film.

The bright or dark light from the TV screen reflected on Wang Ping's thick eyes, making it look strange. The sound of gunfire and gunfire filled the living room, making Sun Xiaoqian feel restless.

She sadly found that she and he still had nothing to say.

Not only that, Wang Ping always looked down upon her and expressed disgust in her words.

She wanted to learn how to make cakes for her children, so she bought a lot of equipment and ingredients online, including egg beaters, ovens, butter, molds... a lot.

On the weekend, she got up early and excitedly made cakes for her children.

The first time she used an egg beater, she did not use it smoothly. When the motor was turned on, the eggs and cream foam splashed out, and the cutting board on the wall was splashed everywhere.

Wang Ping saw her and came over and muttered to her: "I said you have that skill, why not learn to cook for the children seriously. Look, you are leaving it everywhere. Mom will have to do it later." Clean it up for you, what are you doing here, you are just causing trouble!"

She suddenly felt like there was a piece of lead stuck in her chest, her good mood disappeared, and she couldn't say a word.

She likes to travel. When she was in college, she would often just put her bag on her back and set off on a whim. Before she got married, she visited many niche places and far-flung scenic spots. She has admired the rapeseed flowers in Wuyuan in May, rowed a boat on Kanas Lake in Xinjiang, and visited the quiet Wuzhen in winter...

But since she followed Wang Ping, she has not been there except for honeymoon trips. After a trip to Yunnan, she never left the province again.

Wang Ping is busy with work and has to make up classes during winter and summer vacations. The most important thing is that he doesn't like traveling and always feels that traveling is expensive and strenuous.

Whenever Sun Xiaoqian mentioned travel plans, he would encourage Sun Xiaoqian to go by herself: "You sign up for a group and go by yourself! Save my share of the money and you can also buy something..."

What's the point of going alone? As a result, Sun Xiaoqian couldn't get angry anymore.

02

Sun Xiaoqian felt that life was boring and depressing, and it seemed that there would never be an end in sight.

She had no choice but to put all her unresolved thoughts and energy into her work.

So Sun Xiaoqian also started to work overtime, took the initiative to work overtime, and worked overtime endlessly.

Sun Xiaoqian works in a foreign trade company and is responsible for writing copywriting and promotional materials for products. She studied liberal arts, has a good writing skills, and has a lot of aura. It turned out that she was determined to be a good wife and mother, and she always had a coping attitude towards work; now, she is fully committed, and her business has quickly grown by leaps and bounds.

The supervisor was full of praise for her copywriting.

The supervisor is a newly transferred person. He is very handsome and tall, and he looks very much like the actor Wang Kai in "Nirvana in Fire". The first time she saw her supervisor, Sun Xiaoqian felt her eyes light up. But it was only a flash in front of my eyes, and I had no other thoughts.

One day, Sun Xiaoqian was working overtime again, writing promotional slogans with pictures for the company's new towels. She wrote so inspiredly that she forgot about the time. When she looked up at her watch, it was already past 8 o'clock. The entire office building was deserted, except for a dim light on her booth. She suddenly felt hungry.

While packing her things, she took out a box of cookies from the drawer.

Supervisor Zhou Yihan walked in: "Still working overtime? Recently, you seem to be always working overtime?"

"Ah, supervisor!" She stood up with a hand in hand Grabbing the biscuit, there were biscuit crumbs on the corner of his mouth. She looks like a cute reckless girl.

Zhou Yihan couldn't help but laugh: "Does the partner have any objections to going back so late every day?"

Sun Xiaoqian curled her lips and said: "My husband is busier than me. Anyway, someone is watching the child. "

"Child? I really can't tell that you already have a child? I thought you were a little girl!"

Sun Xiaoqian lowered her head and smiled shyly. She felt very benefited by his compliment.

Zhou Yihan looked through her newly printed copy again and read sentences such as "gentle touch, like the warm breeze of the ancient city in May", "forest fascination", "spring wilderness", etc. He couldn't help but praise it again : "Your copywriting is very thoughtful! It's so spiritual."

Sun Xiaoqian smiled happily again.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner!"

"Eat?" Sun Xiaoqian shook her head hurriedly: "We've already cooked at home, you're welcome!"

"Let's go, I happen to be hungry too! It's just a meal, maybe I can learn some company gossip from you!"

He put one hand in his trouser pocket and tilted his head. He looked at her with a warm smile on his face.

Sun Xiaoqian felt her heart move. It seemed that she hadn't felt this way for a long time.

Yes, it’s just a meal.

She nodded in agreement.

Zhou Yihan took her to a Japanese food store. The store is decorated in a pastoral style, with pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, surrounded by green trees and cherry blossoms. Coupled with warm yellow lights and blurry music, it feels like you are in a dream.

They were sitting near the pool, and when they leaned over they could see red and white koi swimming quietly in the green water.

"It's so beautiful here!" Sun Xiaoqian looked around as if her eyes were not full.

"I think you will like it here." Zhou Yihan's voice was calm and magnetic.

I thought this meal might be awkward, but unexpectedly, the two of them chatted happily. Zhou Yihan could actually tell that her copywriting was inspired by the works of Zhang Jiajia and Haruki Murakami. They exchanged experiences in literature, film and travel.

Sun Xiaoqian was surprised that a business person could have such profound literary and artistic qualities.

Zhou Yihan also didn't expect that this seemingly innocent girl actually had many ideas in her mind. Originally, he just wanted to thank her for supporting his work, but now, he appreciates her even more deeply.

Sun Xiaoqian felt that time passed quickly when she was with Zhou Yihan, and she felt like she couldn't talk enough.

When she came home at night, she was lying on the bed and smiled unconsciously, like a girl who had just fallen in love. That pounding feeling made her feel like every pore in her body was coming to life again.

That night, she had a dream. She dreamed that she and Zhou Yihan were walking on the streets of Lijiang Old Town with backpacks on their backs, and then they climbed up the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The sun shone down and the snow-capped mountains shone brightly. They cheered and cheered. Zhou Yihan lowered his head and kissed her. She was soft and intoxicated in front of his broad chest...

The son turned over and slapped his little hand with a "slap" On her face, the dream awakened.

The snow-capped mountains, ancient city, and lake were all gone, and only Wang Ping’s slightly swollen face with clear traces of his glasses was visible on the other side of the bed.

"Are you awake?" Wang Ping opened his eyes and asked her.

"Yeah." She forced a smile, fearing that he would reveal her feelings, feeling a little guilty and a little ashamed.

She turned around and sighed softly. It seemed that in this life, some beautiful things could only be relived in dreams.

03

Sun Xiaoqian did not expect that the dream would soon come true in reality.

During the May Day holiday, the company held an outing, and registration was voluntary.

This is the first time the company has held an outdoor activity. The original female supervisor rarely organized activities that had nothing to do with business, but Zhou Yihan was just the opposite. He naturally penetrated his literary and artistic flavor into the company's management.

Sun Xiaoqian signed up without even thinking.

She was so depressed that she wanted to go out for a walk. Of course, I was also subconsciously summoned by that dream. She thought, this is a group activity, you can bravely participate without any psychological burden, it is really the best of both worlds.

On the day of the trip, Zhou Yihan contacted the travel company to charter a minibus. One car was enough for a dozen people in the company.

That day. Zhou Yihan actually carried a guitar on his back. He played the guitar for everyone on the road and led everyone to sing "Let's Swing the Oars".

Looking at the blooming mountain flowers outside the window and Zhou Yihan's warm smile, Sun Xiaoqian felt that this kind of life was what she wanted.

Poetic and beautiful.

In the evening, everyone stayed overnight in the mountain villa that they had booked early. There are more than a dozen rooms in that large villa. After climbing the mountain for a day, everyone was exhausted and returned to their residences early.

Sun Xiaoqian was about to wash up when she suddenly received a text message from Zhou Yihan: "It's still early, do you want to come out and sit down? I'll wait for you downstairs."

She walked to the window Looking aside, he raised the curtains and saw Zhou Yihan wearing a T-shirt and jeans, leaning under the big locust tree in the courtyard.

The back looks like a handsome boy.

She suddenly wanted to breathe the fresh mountain air with Zhou Yihan.

She quickly changed into a light pink dress, pulled her hair up casually, and went downstairs.

They sat on the rocks on the cliff, with the stars in the sky above their heads. Zhou Yihan brought two cans of beer, opened it and handed one to her.

She and he looked at each other and smiled in understanding.

"I didn't expect you to sing quite well."

"Do you still want to listen? But the guitar is in the car, so I can sing a cappella."

She took a sip of beer and said nothing, just tilted her head and looked at him and smiled.

The starry sky in the mountains is so beautiful!

Zhou Yihan suddenly asked: "Where is your husband? Why didn't you bring him with you?"

She looked lonely: "He doesn't like traveling. He is a teacher and he has to go on vacation. Make up lessons for students."

Zhou Yihan nodded and said nothing.

"What about you? Are we separated?"

"I'm divorced, and the divorce lawsuit has been going on for more than a year."

"Why? Because of her Still love you? "

The night is quiet and the air in the mountains is crisp, making people want to open their hearts.

"I don't know whether she ever loved me. However, in those last days, there was definitely no love. Both of them exposed their ugliest sides."

Zhou Yihan looked into the distance with a somewhat desolate look in his eyes.

"For property?"

"Well, for property. I bought the house in full before marriage, but she wanted to share half of it."

"The result "How?"

"Of course she lost the case. I still have the receipts for the house purchase, and the bank payment records are very clear."

Sun Xiaoqian felt a little stunned. Thinking that Zhou Yihan still has such a side, it seems very inconsistent with his literary temperament.

Human beings are really complex animals.

"Why did you get divorced? Is your relationship bad?" She couldn't help but want to get to know him again.

"She is too strong. Her career is better than mine, and she unconsciously brings that strong leadership style to her home. Of course, she is very good and charming. But, I'm very tired when I'm with her. She always wants to regulate me and correct me. In her eyes, my hobbies are unprofessional..."

Zhou Yihan took a sip of beer, Xu Xu said, venting. He felt the depression that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

Sun Xiaoqian's heart was in turmoil.

Perhaps, even she herself did not realize that she actually had an unexplainable hope for Zhou Yihan, so she wanted to get to know him.

However, at this moment, she seemed to see that the fire that had just been ignited in her heart was slowly extinguishing.

She couldn't help but examine herself against Zhou Yihan's words: she didn't have the shrewd and independent ability of Zhou Yihan's ex-wife, but she didn't have any of the common problems in women that Zhou Yihan complained about. No one is occupied.

People who don’t know her are often deceived by her appearance and take it for granted that she has a gentle temperament. In fact, at home, isn’t she just as harsh on Wang Ping?

——She couldn’t understand the hard work he put in. She only knew how to attack his hobbies and ridicule his taste. She asked him to turn over his salary and only gave him two hundred yuan in pocket money every month...

In the same situation, if it were Zhou Yihan, he would have been unable to bear it and divorced her, right?

The night breeze is so cool, there are unknown birds chirping gracefully, the air is filled with the fragrance of mint, and the atmosphere is still romantic.

However, Zhou Yihan didn't know that Sun Xiaoqian had quietly experienced some turbulence in her heart.

04

One day two months later, Sun Xiaoqian and Zhou Yihan went to meet customers together.

Those personal contacts made them work more closely together.

The meeting was very successful and the customer signed a two-year supply order.

After work was over, Zhou Yihan invited her to have dinner together. Still in that chic Japanese food shop, still in that seat by the pool.

Zhou Yihan said: "Next month, I will go to Nanjing. There is a newly opened branch there."

"Oh, congratulations, I should join "Salary?" Sun Xiaoqian's voice was thin and small.

"Come with me. I will recommend you to the headquarters to be a department manager, and your salary will be doubled." Zhou Yihan looked at her, his eyes full of expectation and anxiety.

Sun Xiaoqian did not dare to look up into his eyes, his eyes were too deep and bright.

She pondered, not knowing how to answer.

"Apart from work, I have different feelings for you. I think you can feel it. I know it's a bit too anxious to tell you this now, but I'm afraid if I don't tell you now, I won't No chance." He grabbed her hand and said sincerely: "Xiaoqian, come with me. You are still young, give yourself a chance to live the life you really want to live..."

Feeling the warmth of his palm, Sun Xiaoqian had the urge to cry. She couldn't stand this man's affection.

Damn it, he could always stir up trouble in her heart easily.

The meal was a bit heavy, and even the soundtrack in the restaurant was full of sadness.

He sent her home. Before getting off the car, he grabbed her arm and begged: "Xiaoqian, seriously consider my proposal."

She nodded, Suddenly I felt a little tired.

When she got home, her son had already gone to bed and her husband was still preparing lessons in the study.

The study door was slightly open, and when she caught a glimpse of her husband's unchanging back, she felt a little at ease in her heart.

My husband and Zhou Yihan are two completely different men.

Zhou Yihan's melancholic and poetic prodigal temperament not only intoxicated her, but also made her feel uneasy and uncontrollable.

She was lying on the bed, hugging her son sideways, and his body exuded the fragrance of a fresh bath. It must have been the parents-in-law who gave the son a bath.

Speaking of which, she has a pair of good parents-in-law.

They carefully helped her take care of the children and cooked three meals a day. Although their parents-in-law lived with them, they never interfered in their lives. In fact, they relied on her for everything.

After marriage, she has never cooked a meal independently and rarely gets involved in housework. Therefore, she can naturally maintain the mentality and appearance of a girl without any special maintenance. Unlike her best friends of the same age, she exudes the aura of a married woman.

She thought of her husband again.

Although Wang Ping did not understand Fengqing, he was willing to be controlled by her. Every month, he handed over his salary to her without any loss, and even quit playing games for her for many years.

How could all this be accomplished if it were not for love?

When she gets her period, he will even wash her underwear if she asks. When she was sick, he took good care of her, serving tea and water without a single complaint.

Even when living as a couple, he insists on wearing condoms. After many years of marriage, she had never suffered from an abortion.

I remember one year, she accompanied her best friend to have an abortion. After the operation, my best friend’s face turned sallow and she couldn’t stand up while holding her stomach. At that moment, she felt very relieved when she thought of Wang Ping.

Isn’t his self-discipline also out of his love for her?

And their son, what a cute little angel! Simply the cutest in the world!

How could she bear not seeing him for even a day?

Looking back on her life over the past many years, her romantic literary and artistic temperament has always made her want to find a perfect life.

But what kind of life is perfect?

Can Zhou Yihan give what Wang Ping cannot give?

That night, she tossed and turned and thought about a lot.

For the first time after marriage, she felt that she had grown up again.

05

The next morning, she sent an email to Zhou Yihan.

When the email was sent, she was a little nervous, but mostly she felt relieved.

Before getting off work at noon, she received a reply from Zhou Yihan.

As Sun Xiaoqian read the letter, the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously, but there were tears in her eyes.

Ding dong, her cell phone rang.

It was a text message from Zhou Yihan: "Can we still be friends? I also want to find my own happiness. In this process, I may need your encouragement."

Sun Xiaoqian Smiling, she replied: "Of course. I have broken the illusion about you. I think we will become good friends."

Putting down the phone, she felt that her mood was like a pool of clear water drying out In the sun, warm and clear.

When she came home from get off work that day, Sun Xiaoqian deliberately asked Wang Ping: "Hey, did you keep those payment receipts for our house?"

"Why did you keep them there? Morning Throw it away." Wang Ping found her question incomprehensible.

Sun Xiaoqian walked around behind him and said, "My name is added to the real estate certificate. If you don't keep the bank receipt, aren't you afraid that one day I will divorce you and fight for the real estate with you?" "Sun Xiaoqian tried half-jokingly.

Wang Ping was holding a stick to drain the toilet. He said in a low voice without even raising his head: "My wife is gone, what's the use of just keeping the house?"

Look at him So stupid, Sun Xiaoqian couldn't help but want to laugh: "If my wife is gone, I can still marry again!"

"Marry again? Ever since I met you, I have never had such a plan." Wang Ping answered immediately. , answered casually and firmly.

The toilet was empty, Wang Ping took out the stick, and a few drops of water came out of the toilet and splashed on his face. He was not annoyed and silently put the stick behind the door, turned around and climbed on the water table, turned on the faucet and washed his face with water.

Sun Xiaoqian looked at his fat and bowed back, her nose suddenly became sore, and tears flowed down.
