woman in front of the mirror

Chapter 10 Directions

Yi Han is waiting for Shi Hui to take her to buy clothes.

She took out a small leather bag with slender double shoulder straps that she had bought when she was just in college. It was a bit expensive for her at that time.Because there was one of the same style that was carried by a person she felt envious of at that time.It was a young woman who had studied abroad. In the middle of winter, she was queuing up to buy train tickets, and Yi Han happened to be standing behind her.Yi Han didn't get to see what she looked like during the whole process. He saw that she was dressed in black first, with a slender coat covering her calf, which was only wearing a pair of leggings, with a ball head tied on her head, and a wide pair of skirts around her neck. brightly colored scarves.Yi Han learned from her chat with the other person on the phone that she planned to develop in China in the future.

Yi Han was only admitted to an ordinary university. She knew that she had no ability to do better, but she also wanted to know what it would be like to be better.So she took note of the backpack behind the woman in front, and she gave herself a chance to carry it too.

It still looks good in her hand now.She has taken great care to clean and preserve it.Today, she discovered that its capacity is actually pitifully small, and usually can't even accommodate a larger magazine.

She wasn't going to carry it out later.

Shi Hui took Yi Han to a large shopping plaza, and they took the elevator together, and she told Yi Han that she could just take the one she liked.She asked Yi Han where she wanted to go at night, and Yi Han remembered that once she and Ming Jia wanted to go to a bar, but they couldn't go in because they were wearing jeans on their legs, so she replied that she wanted to go to a bar .

In the evening, Shi Hui chose for Yi Han a European-style leather pink skirt with puff sleeves, pleated hem, just below the knee; and sandals; she approached her and saw that she was wearing a little gray eye shadow, and the rest of her face was not too much makeup; She took off the pins and put her hand up into her freshly coiled hair.

She took her to a bar.

Yi Han just entered this bar, and saw brightly colored lights everywhere inside, the crowd gathered around the bar and on the dance floor, the clothes they were wearing were a little unclear; The young man, with pomade on his head, clean and slender fingers, turned back and forth between the huge glass counter full of various drinks behind him and the customers opposite; Some people played the guitar, and some beat the drums rhythmically, and the electronic piano next to it gradually sounded. It was a male voice with a slightly hoarse voice singing a classic old song; some people looked up at him, I applaud him from time to time, agreeing that he sings very well; there are also some people gathered at the bar a little far away from the stage, chatting with the people next to them, with an expression on their faces that seems to be communicating smoothly .

Shi Hui took her down two flights of stairs to the basement floor of this bar.

The lower layer of light is slightly obscured, but it is always stable and will not change; the smell of the air is simpler and relatively quiet; some leather sofas and coffee tables are evenly arranged in the middle, which are specially designed for people to rest and eat of.

Shi Hui ordered a margarita for Yi Han, and she took out the women's cigarettes she carried in her bag, took out a slender one, and lit it only for herself.

Yi Han raised his eyes and looked at the other people around them a little. He saw that their clothes were a little loose, and their sitting posture was relatively casual, but their expressions were quite serious and serious. Hearing that they had been communicating softly, he couldn't hear what they were saying clearly.

"What are they talking about?"

"House speculation, stocks, famous cars, famous watches, international news."

"Israel."

"Why are you talking about Israel?"

"Because it's a developed country."

"Do they even know about Israel? I still only have a half-knowledge about many things around me."

Shi Hui smiled at this time, and Yi Han saw her flawless face through the slightly drifting smoke around her, and there were a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes.

"Also, how men need to be successful, and how women need to be successful, so that the next generation they produce will be excellent."

After Shi Hui said this, she stopped smiling, but the few fine lines around her eyes seemed to be still there for the time being.

Yi Han thought of her age, thought of the tightness of her waist in the night, and thought that maybe she had no children.

In the days when Yi Han couldn't wait for Shi Hui, she was alone.As before, she picked up the phone and wanted to say something in the chat space. She had some new experiences recently, but she knew that on the one hand, she couldn't describe them in detail, and on the other hand, she felt that she couldn't explain them clearly.

But she received a chat message from Ming Jia.Ming Jia went to a company's headquarters for an internship, where there were a lot of talented people. She almost only served tea and water and guarded the printer every day. She asked Yi Han how he was.Yi Han said that her colleagues were easy to get along with, and one or two were very patient with her and told her carefully about their experience and skills, and she had already adapted smoothly.

Ming Jia said that she had already found a place to live and would move out of the old campus soon. She asked Yi Han to meet her when she was free.

She was packing in the dormitory of the old campus when Yi Han opened the door and walked in.

She saw that Yi Han's hair was up in a strange way; she was wearing a white dress, she approached her to take a closer look at her clothes, and found that it was double-layered, with a layer of fine lace fabric on the outside; she Also see the stiletto sandals on her feet.

"Yi Han, you have an affair."

Yi Han didn't answer her immediately, but she laughed at her, his round eyes became a pair of crescent moons.

Ming Jia was originally laughing with her, but when she smiled, she changed her expression and changed into a serious expression that Yi Han had never seen before.

"Yi Han, you look so uneasy."

"I don't understand your uneasy words."

"You remind me now of when I broke up with someone else."

"He was very willing to spend money for me the first time he met me. At that time, I thought that his income was stable, so I accepted it. Later, he asked me out. I went, but I also met his mother at the same time. His mother was also willing to spend money on me just like when he first met me, and only bought a pure white down jacket for a few thousand yuan. I put it on later, thinking of their generous appearance, but I I can't feel at ease. I settled the money they spent on me, used it myself for a while, and handed it over to him after collecting it all. By the way, I also proposed to break up, but he quarreled with me for a long time. He said at the time His words scared me a lot, he said that he and his mother had already calculated how many children we would have in the future."

"He also said that his mother didn't like me, but he did like me, so it was really hard for her to accept me."

"It occurred to me later that our split may have been thanks to his mother's reluctance."

"I was joking when I told you about asking your boyfriend to buy you lipstick. The nature and duration of a relationship are very important at the beginning, and it is likely to guide the future development of two people."

"Yi Han, have you really thought about where you want to lead it?"
