"Hey, wait a minute!" Ye Yiyi suddenly called out to me.
I turned around, surprised to see her. "What's wrong?"
Ye Yiyi walked over and stared at me. "Don't you think I'm a homewrecker?"
I shook my head. "Not really."
Ye Yiyi smiled. "Why not?"
I shrugged. "Just a feeling."
Ye Yiyi laughed.
She came closer and linked her arm with mine.
"Come on, let's go shopping."
...
That day, I spent the whole day shopping with Ye Yiyi and bought a lot of things.
It turns out having money is so great; you can buy anything you want.
So refreshing.
In the evening, Ye Yiyi and I sat in a bar, drinking and chatting.
Ye Yiyi asked me, "Do you know how I got back at Mengxi?"
I shook my head.
Ye Yiyi smiled and started to tell me about it.
In less than two months, she had completely brought Mengxi down.
It was simple; she introduced Mengxi to a whole new circle.
A circle that Mengxi had never encountered before and couldn't even imagine.
A high-end, luxurious, extravagant circle.
Mengxi felt inferior and envious.
She longed to enter this circle but could only rely on Ye Yiyi.
Ye Yiyi deliberately let her suitors humiliate him, then she would comfort him afterward.
Finally, when Mengxi was most dependent on her, she kicked him away.
I asked Ye Yiyi, "Aren't you afraid he will retaliate against you?"
Ye Yiyi smiled, "He won't."
"He is so timid, so cowardly, so pitiful."
"He is just a vine, with no big tree to rely on; he simply can't survive."
I fell silent.
Ye Yiyi looked at me, "Do you think I'm impressive?"
I was silent for a moment and then hugged her.
Ye Yiyi was taken aback.
She cried in my arms.
"Is what I'm doing very bad?"
"My mom will definitely blame me for almost becoming a mistress."
"Is it shameful for me to think this way?"
"Xia Ran, do you think I'm sick?"
I sighed.
I'm not good at comforting people.
So, I could only hold her tightly without saying a word.
Ye Yiyi cried for a long time until she finally exhausted herself.
She lifted her head and looked at me, "Why don't you comfort me?"
I forced a smile, "Sorry, I can't."
Ye Yiyi glared at me, "Then why are you hugging me?"
I sighed again, "I just feel that you are so beautiful, so outstanding, so wealthy, and so young."
"You could clearly live a very happy and joyful life."
"Why are you living in such pain?"
Ye Yiyi fell silent.
She looked at me with red-rimmed eyes.
I sighed and patted her head.
"Don't think too much; just live happily."
"Life is short, don't waste time."
Ye Yiyi stopped talking.
...
Since then, Ye Yiyi often came to hang out with me.
She would chat with me, play with me, and go shopping with me.
However, I was often busy.
After all, I had to make money.
Ye Yiyi didn't mind; she would just wander around near my workplace and wait for me to finish work.
I knew she was a young lady I couldn't afford to offend.
But I wasn't afraid of her.
I don't know why, but I just wasn't afraid of her.
Maybe it was because she had helped me, or maybe it was because she considered me a friend.
...
That day, Ye Yiyi came to my rental apartment for a meal while I was cooking when my phone suddenly rang.
I picked up the phone and saw that it was Mengxi calling.
I frowned.
What did he want?
I answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Xia Ran, it's me..." Mengxi's voice came through.
I replied coldly, "What do you want?"
"I..." Mengxi paused for a moment, "I'm drunk. Can you come pick me up?"
I frowned again, "You're drunk; what does that have to do with me?"
Mengxi fell silent.
After a moment, he sighed, "Xia Ran, are you doing well?"
I replied indifferently, "It has nothing to do with you."
Mengxi fell silent again.
After a long while, he spoke up: "I... I miss you, Xia Ran."
I was taken aback.
I didn't say anything.
Mengxi sighed: "Xia Ran, I regret it."
"I know, I was wrong."
"I shouldn't have treated you this way."
"Xia Ran, can I go back?"
I laughed: "Go back? To where?"
Mengxi whispered: "Home."
I scoffed: "Which home?"
Mengxi fell silent.
I said lightly: "Mengxi, we are divorced."
"Did you forget?"
Mengxi remained silent.
After a moment, he asked: "Xia Ran, can you tell me where Ye Yiyi is?"
I laughed: "Why are you calling me about Ye Yiyi?"
Mengxi whispered: "I blocked her."
"Xia Ran, please, tell me where she is, okay?"
I sighed: "Mengxi, do you know what I'm thinking right now?"
Mengxi didn't respond.
I said flatly: "I'm thinking of throwing you out, you scumbag."
After saying that, I hung up the phone.
Then, I blocked him.
Ye Yiyi laughed beside me: "Well done."
Later, my relationship with Ye Yiyi deepened, and I learned about her story. In fact, she is also a Legal Aid Worker. She has her own career. As for me... I looked out the window at the clear blue sky. It felt like I had nothing at all. For the past ten years, I had been waiting. Waiting for graduation, waiting for a job, waiting for marriage, waiting for divorce, waiting for now. What was I waiting for? I was waiting for the future. But why has the future never arrived?
That day, I sat by the window, gazing at the blue sky outside. Suddenly, an idea struck me. I wanted to become a Legal Aid Worker again. After all, it was my dream during college. Thinking of this made my heart race. I felt a surge of excitement. I could finally break free from my current life. I could finally have a new life. But... I was almost thirty. Could I still be impulsive like those young people and take a leap of faith?
