As for Yingzi, she graduated with excellent grades after three years of college, and her guidance counselor advised her to study for another year to get a bachelor's degree.

After thinking it over again and again, she decided to give up. Her family could not support it financially and was already heavily in debt for her to go to college.

Her mother also told her that Xiongzi was working in Hai City. At this time, her job search destination had been determined.

The counselor's repeated persuasion was of no avail. Feeling guilty towards the professor and reluctant to leave the school, she finally rushed to Hai City alone with her luggage.

The person who was most angry during this period was Lao Chen. Lao Chen had asked her eldest brother to ask many people to find her a good job in the city, so she could go to work when she returned home.

Unexpectedly, she went to Hai City without saying a word.

Yingzi, who had just arrived in Hai City, rented a house in a dark basement with a classmate named Xiaomei.

Originally, she wanted to go find Xiongzi, as she already knew the address, but Xiongzi had just started working and she didn't want to bring any burden to him.

However, there are waves of people coming to the big city of Hai City to seek their fortune, and there are even more waves of graduates heading south to make a living.

Yingzi and Xiaomei submitted their resumes in the crowded job market during the day, and delivered steamed buns with boiled water at night. However, such a hard life still did not allow them to find suitable jobs.

Half a month passed and they had very little money left. They had no choice but to give up their majors and apply for clerical jobs, but the competition for clerical jobs was just as fierce.

After several failed interviews, Yingzi was finally selected by a company manager from among more than 100 resumes and became a clerk in the human resources department.

As for Xiaomei, it was another half month later and only after Yingzi said a lot of good things to the human resources manager did she get hired into the factory as a warehouse keeper.

Fortunately, the factory provided food and accommodation, so Yingzi and Xiaomei lived together in a staff dormitory with eight people in a room, and finally started their first job in life.

The two people who had just entered the factory also went through a long period of adaptation, especially Yingzi because she was not very proficient in computers at school.

A month later, she got her first salary and enrolled in a computer training class. She worked during the day and learned computer at night.

Three months later, Yingzi was finally converted to a regular employee after her probation period. After the job was settled, she decided to go find Xiongzi.

It was a Sunday morning. She got up very early. She had already found out that Xiongzi's factory was about an hour's bus ride away from her, which was relatively close in Hai City, a big international city.

Yingzi was sitting on the bus, looking at the tall buildings and the hustle and bustle of traffic along the way. Her mind was filled with the figure of Xiongzi. It was the scene of meeting Xiongzi, full of excitement and sweetness.

It's just that I still feel a little sad sometimes. Life in this big city will be extremely difficult.

It is even more difficult to have a piece of sky of their own. Both she and Xiongzi will have to pay a huge price!

Thinking about meeting Xiongzi, her face flushed.

What does Xiongzi look like now after not seeing him for more than three years?

Just as she was thinking about it, the bus announced that it had arrived at the station. Yingzi looked at the time and saw that it would arrive in one hour and fifty-two minutes, so she got off the bus with the crowd.

After getting off the bus, she walked along the street for a long time and asked several passers-by before she found the factory where Xiongzi worked. Yingzi looked towards the guard room and saw Xiongzi on duty at a glance.

Although he looked energetic in the security uniform, he had lost his youthful naivety. The moment Xiongzi saw Yingzi, the air froze.

In the year after Yingzi found Xiongzi, they spent a happy time together and it felt great to rely on each other.

Although they lived in poverty, even in a big city like Hai City, with their salary, they didn't know whether they could buy a bathroom after working for ten years.

Yingzi didn't care either, because it was a habit she had developed since childhood, and she felt at ease as long as Xiongzi was around.

Every weekend Yingzi would dress up beautifully and take the bus to Xiongzi's place, and Xiongzi's colleagues would also joke around with her.

"Your little girlfriend is here again!"

Yingzi's face would blush again, and Xiongzi would smile shyly, neither confirming nor denying.

In the summer, Yingzi and Xiongzi would often go to street stalls to drink iced mung bean soup for 50 cents a bowl. When it was Xiongzi's turn to be on duty at night, Yingzi would not go back.

In the evening, Xiongzi would buy each of his colleagues a bowl of mung bean soup, and sometimes hot and sour noodles.

Xiongzi lived in a dormitory with two people in one room. His colleagues in the same dormitory consciously moved into other dormitories and gave their room to Yingzi.

Yingzi was the only one staying in the dormitory that day. What Yingzi always reminisced about was that Xiongzi would go to the water room to fetch hot water on time and then pour water for Yingzi and put a towel in place.

After Yingzi finished washing, he would carry the water to pour it out. When Yingzi turned around to hang the towel, Xiongzi would quietly take it from her.

Because the place where the towels are hung is high, that kind of tacit understanding is innate, and only they themselves know it.

Of course, some things happened during this year. Yingzi met several suitors, but she rejected them one by one.

That day, Yingzi accompanied her colleagues to visit their fellow villagers, and one of the boys fell in love with Yingzi at first sight.

After that, every day when it was time to get off work, there would be a young man on a motorcycle waiting at the factory gate.

Xiaomei heard from her colleagues that the young man's family was quite wealthy and he was a good person as well.

Together with my colleagues, I persuaded Yingzi that they could try to get along with each other. If she wanted to live a life with a house and a car in Hai City, this person was a good choice.

But Yingzi flatly refused, and the young man gave up after persisting for a few months.

Another time, a colleague invited his uncle's family to dinner, and Yingzi and Xiaomei were among them.

Unexpectedly, my colleague's aunt's younger brother also came. He was said to be a talented man. After working hard in Hai City for several years, he had bought a small house and was looking for a partner.

Afterwards, the aunt's younger brother asked his colleagues about Yingzi's situation many times and tried to make an appointment through his colleagues, but Yingzi refused every time. The colleagues felt it was a pity.

Of course, Xiongzi didn't know about these things. Yingzi only wanted to be with Xiongzi, and Xiaomei often scolded her for being stubborn.

Things in the world often don't develop in the direction you expect.

Whether in the hearts of Yingzi, Xiaomei, or even her colleagues, they all feel that she and Xiongzi will have a happy ending and will receive everyone's blessings.

Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

The work of a security guard is dull and tedious, not to mention any future in it. Handsome in appearance and strong in heart, Xiongzi is constantly working hard. He uses his rest time to study for a junior college through self-study.

Yingzi also signed him up for computer lessons, which made Yingzi feel very gratified.

Yingzi's performance at work was also recognized by her leaders and her salary increased significantly.

The peaceful days were disturbed by Xiongzi's parking incident.

On that hot noon, Xiongzi was on duty at the gate. A small red car drove into the factory. According to convention, unfamiliar cars entering the factory had to register, so he carried the registration book and walked towards the car.

There was a young woman sitting in the car. She was just about to back the car into the parking space. Perhaps because she had poor skills or she had just learned how to do it, she tried many times but failed.
