Three Women in the Cage

After hearing this, Xiao Li immediately jumped out of bed and ran towards the school gate without stopping. The boys in the dormitory said he was stupid and they couldn't understand why he liked Zhang Xin.

The people in the girls' dormitory were waiting like they were watching a show, as if they were waiting to see Xinxin make a fool of herself. However, all this was imposed on her by others. If possible, she wanted to hide in the corner and be quiet. But now, she didn't even have the chance to refute and had to passively accept everything.

This feeling of powerlessness made her gradually dislike Xiao Li's behavior, but Xiao Li didn't know that his behavior was already annoying, and he was still so self-righteous and affectionate.

Soon, Xiao Li bought 199 lollipops, not one more, not one less.

He panted and stuffed the lollipop into the dormitory. The person who came to pick him up was Tang Qing.

Tang Qing looked at the lollipop in his hand and said unwillingly: "I have always wanted to ask you a question, can you answer me?"

Xiao Li gasped and asked, "What?"

Tang Qing stood by the dormitory window and said to Xiao Li outside: "Zhang Xin is so thin, without any flesh, and not good-looking. What is it about her that you like? Look at the girls in our dormitory, there are so many well-behaved and cute ones. Are you blind and can't see it?"

Tang Qing joked with a smile, and the roommates inside were all covering their lips and laughing. Xinxin listened to Tang Qing's deliberate jokes and watched her roommates laughing silently. She felt sad and embarrassed. Since when did she become so unbearable in their eyes?

She has never looked at herself in the mirror carefully. Is she really that ugly?

She later looked at herself in the mirror countless times. The self in the mirror was so familiar and yet so strange. She seemed to have never known what she looked like.

I touch my thin face, which has no baby fat, and my eyes are lifeless and dull. Is there anyone who would like me like this?

She also wanted to know what Xiao Li liked about her. Although she didn't want to get in touch with Xiao Li or have a relationship with him, she also wanted to know what her shining points were.

Xiao Li blushed and explained: "Her eyes are big and beautiful..."

Eyes, Xinxin looked at his own eyes and found for the first time that his eyes were really big. There was an unfathomable sadness hidden in his big eyes. Is this what he saw, big and beautiful?

It turned out that what he liked was his own eyes. Maybe he only liked this pair of eyes. Otherwise, how could he not see the sadness in them? Who would like the sadness of others?

Later, Tang Qing always looked at Xinxin's eyes intentionally or unintentionally. Once, on a whim, she put on light makeup for Xinxin, especially around her eyes, where she drew a long line with the tail of her eyes slightly raised. The moment Xinxin raised her eyes, Tang Qing praised her for the first time: "Wow, your eyes are really beautiful and charming. No wonder Xiao Li likes them..."

Xinxin heard this sentence countless times later, and from that moment on, they found the reason why Xiao Li liked Xinxin, because of those eyes.

Later on, besides her eyes, Xinxin was praised the most for her figure. Both men and women would praise her for her beautiful eyes and good figure, but no one ever said that she was beautiful...

Yes, she is not beautiful. Because of her beauty, she even felt inferior and did not dare to accept anyone's love for her, because she knew that others' love might just be for her eyes or figure.

People who are not pretty will not be truly liked by others. They only like a part of you, not your whole self.

Xiao Li still stuffed lollipops into her desk as usual, and their relationship did not develop further. In fact, they didn't even say a word to each other until the end.

But, they always pass each other by coincidence countless times...

Time passed quietly in such tacit understanding, and slowly, the college entrance examination of life finally arrived. Yang Yu attached great importance to Xinxin's exam because it was the last college student she would send.

At this time, the news spread in the village that Yang Yu had sent two college students to school, and he was wondering if he would send a third one. The villagers were waiting with jealousy and envy. They didn't expect that one day, Yang Yu would send one college student after another.

After all, in their eyes, girls should get married early and should not be sent to college. They once laughed at Yang Yu for giving birth to three daughters, all of which were to serve as dowries for others. In the end, they would end up with no one to take care of them in their old age.

They laughed at her and bullied her, but Yang Yu took an unusual path despite the bullying. She fought against the secular world, did not believe in fate, and did not submit to it. She wanted to forge a different path even when everyone was pessimistic about her.

She was about to win, and she was about to win happily in front of those who didn't think highly of her.

Finally, Xinxin lived up to everyone's expectations and was admitted to the University of Finance and Accounting with excellent results.

That year, the most popular rumor in the village was that Yang Yu's family had three college students. Her family was full of academic elites. The woman who was once the most despised finally became the object of their envy. They wished that their own children could also be admitted to a university.

However, their children, after all, did not know what learning and knowledge were, and repeated their path early, getting married and having children.

Yang Yu became a special existence in the village. When they talked about Yang Yu, they were just three college students, their eyes full of jealousy and unwillingness.

Even Zhang's father and mother, who never liked Yang Yu and her daughter, began to show off in front of others, boasting that several of their grandchildren were college students. They told everyone about it, as if this had become their only topic of conversation in front of others.

Sometimes it was so funny, as if they had completely forgotten the contempt and hurt they had felt towards Yang Yu. With the passage of time, they laughed it off as if nothing had happened, trying to repair the precarious relationship and bring everything back to the most intimate position.

But they can just laugh it off, but can the person who was hurt? Those are the shackles that they have used all their strength to break free from, the shadow hidden deep in their mind, how can they just laugh it off and be indifferent?

This year, Yang Yu returned to the village, and everyone in the village came to congratulate her. Those who had laughed at her, beaten her, and looked down on her all gathered around her and kept flattering her: "Second sister-in-law, oh, you are finally back. You are so amazing. Several of your children have become successful..."

Looking at their faces, which seemed familiar yet strange, Yang Yu did not respond to them, but instead looked at them with a sneer.

Even the family behind, who never bothered to talk to Yang Yu, came to flatter her and called her the only sentence in his life: "Second sister-in-law..."

How can these people be so shameful and ridiculous, as if they were not the same evil faces they once were!

Looking at their faces, Yang Yu wanted to laugh. The ugliness hidden deep in her mind was still fresh in her memory, but she could not see any trace of the past. It was clearly the same person, but she felt as if she had never known him.

The same face from the past and now appeared vaguely in front of her eyes, making her unable to tell whether she was still in a dream or in reality.
