The ups and downs of the urban jungle

A good friend got married, and they lived in the same compound. As a best friend who had grown up together, Lin Bing actually never showed up. Because Hou Shuyuan was busy with her marriage, she didn't have much time to think about and find out the reason. It was only when I met Lin Bing's parents occasionally and inquired about them that I found out that Lin Bing had gone home and had been shutting himself up at home. He said he was feeling unwell, but this was definitely not the reason.

Her parents gave her favors and blessings, but Lin Bing never showed up. It almost made my parents unable to step down in front of their leader. The parents had no choice but to lie and say that their daughter was not in good health these days to cover up their appearance. On the contrary, when Hou Shuyuan heard that her good friend had gone home a long time ago and was not in good health, she stayed at home. She even ignored relatives, friends, and the groom, and came to visit her with gifts.

As a good friend since childhood, they had already done this, so naturally Lin Bing could no longer shut people out. The two of them closed the door and whispered about each other.

It has been almost five years since the two separated after graduating from high school. In the past five years, except for occasional gatherings when we go home during the holidays every year, each of us has our own new circle, and our meetings are not as intimate as before. In five years, each other has changed a lot, and life has slowly brought them into different worlds.

Lin Bing became lost and confused, while Hou Shuyuan got closer to reality and lived realistically. Her husband was snatched away from others by herself.

"Snatched it?"

"yes! He is almost an old man, and his daughter is only a few years younger than me. When we were getting along, he hadn't left yet!"

"Then - aren't you acting as a mistress?"

"What mistress? That means sour grapes if you can’t eat them! If a man can't control himself, he comes to us. What's wrong with the mistress? The mistress is also beaten by Zhou Yu. One is willing to be beaten and the other is willing to suffer. Men, don’t you struggle all your life just to enjoy yourself? If you have the conditions, who doesn’t want to find a young and beautiful woman? Why don't they talk to these men if they have the ability? Why are you taking it out on us? The mistress deserves to die, is it against the law? Doesn’t marriage law all stipulate that emotion is the basis of marriage? Now it has become that marriage is the foundation of emotion. That is, those incompetent men and abandoned resentful women are the ones who make excuses for mistresses and mistresses all day long."

"But——"

"not worried! I'm not stupid either. If he hadn't promised to marry me, I wouldn't have played with him!"

"You - you are - a third party intervening, isn't it destroying other people's families?"

"steal! There are many families like this in China now. Haven’t you heard that marriage is the grave of love? If I don't interfere with this kind of unfortunate family, others will do it; if he doesn't look for me, he will look for someone else, so why should I pretend to be stupid? No interfering, no interfering!"

"Are you - at ease?"

"I said, miss, what age is this? Are you really still living in a dream? People of our generation are all fighting for life now. Only those who love to fight will win. If we don’t fight, we will only wait for death. Look at you, the conditions are so good, but they are all wasted. If you don't realize it, you will die miserably and it will be too late to regret."

"I? What's wrong with me?"

"What’s wrong with you? You are really sick now, not even mildly, okay! After I finish all this mess, I will find a special time to treat you! We have been good sisters since childhood, and I can't die just watching you be so confused. I know you, I know the root cause of your problem, believe me, I will definitely help you cure it."

Hou Shuyuan's words were specious, sharp yet intimate. Lin Bing kept feeling depressed when she got home, and couldn't find anyone to talk to. Fortunately, Hou Shuyuan was her childhood sister after all. She suddenly felt that now, Only Hou Shuyuan is a true friend, and she especially needs such a friend now.
