It seems like I don't exist in this world. I always feel out of place in this world. It's like I came here just to wait for someone, waiting for someone who may not even exist.
"Xue Ying, how did you clean the room? Look, there are still strands of hair on the floor!"
It's like this again. I look at the man lying on the sofa, feeling increasingly powerless in my heart. Is it resignation? It seems like I've gotten used to it.
"Okay, I'll tidy up now."
I picked up a tissue paper and picked up the hair on the ground. The hair was short and yellow, not mine, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Look at you, you can't even clean the floor properly. What can you accomplish? You're always thinking about this and that. Do you have the ability for that? You even wanted to work in Beijing before. Let me tell you, just find a job near home and stop thinking about all these unnecessary things..."
"Okay, I got it. I'll go wash the dishes now."
"Alright, finally you understand a little. Girls should be diligent, have some insight, learn to cook, and clean up, so that when you get married in the future, others won't look down on you."
I didn't speak, just looked at my rough hands from doing housework all day, and listened to the joyful chatter of my sister and parents in the living room. How happy they are, and that sense of powerlessness comes back again.
"Hello, may I ask who is calling?"
"Okay, Xue Ying, you're such a busy person. It's only been two years since you graduated, and you've almost forgotten about me. Whenever I message you on WeChat, it's either no response or you're always busy. Hmph! Let me tell you, our class is having a reunion, and this time you must come. Otherwise, I'll end our friendship!"
"Alright."
"Must dress up beautifully. If I find you've lost weight or become ugly, I won't let you off easily."
"Okay"
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I know you're a very busy person."
I looked at the phone I just hung up and the table full of documents. This kind of Feeling came again, as if I had fallen into the deep sea. This suffocating and powerless feeling is getting heavier and heavier. I'm so tired, so tired. I really want to be buried in the deep sea like this, never to be found by anyone, leaving me alone to be quiet.
"Ying Ying, Ying Ying!"
"Huh?"
I looked up at the girl in front of me, just as cute and bright as I remembered, shining like a little sun.
"What's wrong? The homeroom teacher called you several times!"
"Homeroom teacher?"
"Xue Ying, are you feeling unwell today? If you're not feeling well, go to the medical room and rest. There's no need to force yourself."
I looked at the gentle older sister in front of me, she looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her before. The surroundings were both unfamiliar and familiar, and my head hurt.
"Sis, you finally woke up. Your colleague just called me and said you fainted from low blood sugar and were taken to the hospital. You scared me. Did you skip breakfast again? No matter how busy you are at work, you can't skip meals. You work near home and have everything you need. I don't understand why you have to push yourself so hard all these years."
Xue Tingting cut fruit while looking at the woman in bed.
"Okay, I understand. I will pay attention in the future," I said as I took the apple in my hand.
"You always say you understand, but you keep repeating the same mistakes. I don't know you anymore."
"Good Tingting, sister will definitely pay attention in the future. Oh, by the way, I found the figurine you mentioned last time, it will arrive in two days."
"Really! Sis, I love you so much~"
Saying that, Xue Tingting pounced. "Ahem! Ahem!"
"Dad, why did you come over? I'm fine, you don't need to worry."
"Alright, just sit down. You're not young anymore. Uncle Wang's son is the same age as you. You should meet up with him when you have time. If you both get along well, you should get married sooner. It's better for a girl to settle down and marry someone stable, instead of being busy outside all the time and never at home."
"Dad, I don't want to get married yet," I said softly, lowering my head in resistance.
"What do you mean you don't want to? How old are you already if you don't get married now!"
"Father, sister is still sick, can we talk about it another day?"
"What 'another day'? Xue Ying, have you ever considered who raised you all these years? What are you thinking all day? What do you want to do? What qualifications do you have to be picky? I've found the best for you, don't overthink it. I've given you your cousin's WeChat, chat with him more often, being safe and stable is better than anything else."
"I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"
"Uh, I know," I replied softly, tears uncontrollably streaming from my eyes. Was I feeling wronged? Maybe a little, but in reality, there was nothing to feel wronged about, right?
"Alright, every time I talk to you, you end up crying. You've been working for years and haven't made any progress. Ting Ting, take care of your sister. I have to go, Xue Ying, remember what I told you."
"Mm."
"Sis, are you okay? Dad is just like that, don't take it to heart."
"Okay, I know. I'm fine. You go back first, I'll handle some documents." I wiped away my tears, picked up the notebook next to me, and started organizing the materials. Only this way could I block out those things that I was powerless to change.
"Okay, then I'll go first, sister. Give me a call if you need anything."
I looked at the closed door and the vibrating phone, and smiled. Am I feeling wronged? Maybe. But haven't I already gotten used to it?
So, I spent some time with Wang Hao. He's a pretty nice guy, very courteous. He also gives me small gifts on holidays, and he doesn't pry into my personal life too much. Similarly, I don't pay too much attention to his life. We seem to be like old friends, very comfortable to be around, and we never argue. But compared to other couples, it seems like something is missing between us.
"Are you really okay not going to your class reunion?"
"It's okay, the company has arranged a business trip recently, so I can't go. Besides, I don't remember many of those friends, so it would be awkward to go." I said casually while tidying up my clothes.
"Okay, I'll go with you. These are the two movie tickets that Ting Ting bought. We both have nothing to do tomorrow, so why not go together to watch it?"
I looked at the guy in front of me, who was inviting me to watch a movie with a serious expression. It felt like I had seen this scene before, and before I knew it, I had agreed. Feeling
"Um, Ying Ying."
I looked at the man in front of me, his phone constantly vibrating. I had already guessed to some extent, so I wasn't exactly disappointed. I hadn't expected anything in the first place. In the world of adults, emotions are the least worthy of mention.
"It's okay, Wang Hao, if you have something to do, go ahead and take care of it. I can go see it by myself."
"I'm sorry, Ying Ying, there's a sudden urgent matter at the company that I have to deal with. I have to rush back. I'll treat you to something delicious next time."
As he spoke, the phone rang again on his end.
I looked at his conflicted expression and smiled faintly, "It's okay, you go ahead and take care of your business. I'll go in first."
I sat in the waiting hall and casually threw two movie tickets on the table. Do you want to go watch? Forget it. I didn't tell Wang Hao. I just saw the incoming call alert for his ex-girlfriend. He seemed so anxious. Their relationship should be pretty good, right? I laughed at myself. Haven't I been used to being alone for a long time?
"Sister, you forgot to bring your movie tickets."
I turned to look at the little girl standing next to my table. In her hand were the two movie tickets I had just thrown on the table. Her eyes were watery and cute.
"They're not mine, you've got the wrong person."
"Sister, you're lying. I just saw you throw the tickets on the table. Don't you want to go? But my brother said this movie is really good, and we've already bought the tickets. Wasting money is not good, sister!"
I couldn't help but laugh at the little girl's childish words. "Okay, sister won't waste money."
I picked up those two movie tickets for "He." The name is quite unique, but based on my understanding of my own little sister, it's probably a romance film. Oh well, since I'm already here, I might as well go and check it out.
And so, I went in with the movie tickets, thinking that worst case scenario, I could just take a nap and consider it a rest. But the moment I saw the opening credits of the movie, I was stunned.
"I seem to have been waiting for someone all along, waiting for someone who may or may not exist. Luckily, I have finally found them."
