Xiao Xue took a slightly heavy step, slowly pushed open the door. Inside the house, the lights are dim, the furniture is old and disorganized, the sofa is piled up with unfolded clothes, the ground is scattered with children's toys, a mess. Husband is lazily nestled in the sofa, eyes staring straight at the TV screen, the beer can in his hand with his every swallow and undulation, Xiao Xue's return as if not realized.
Xiao Xue looked at this lifeless scene in front of her, and a nameless fire suddenly arose in her heart. She thought of her own outside the luxury of the image she tried to disguise, and then look at this in front of the eyes of no pursuit of life, only know the husband, a kind of deep disdain welled up in the heart. Her husband works in a small factory with mediocre efficiency, repeating monotonous and boring work every day, receiving a meager salary, barely maintaining the family's livelihood. For Xiao Xue those unrealistic fantasies and vanity acts, although he has noticed, but because of their own powerlessness and chose to silently endure, which in Xiao Xue seems to be more like her husband's cowardice and incompetence.
Xiao Xue will be in the hands of the bag fell hard on the sofa, dull sound broke the silence in the room. Her husband was startled and turned his head, his brows furrowed and his tone tinged with dissatisfaction, "What's wrong? What's gotten into you again?" Xiao Xue crossed her arms and raised her voice: "Look at you, all you know is to lie here and watch TV all day long, and you don't know to clean up when the house is in such a mess. Look at other people's husbands, they can make money and take care of the family, how about you? What have you done for this family?" Hearing this, the husband's anger in his heart was also ignited, retorted: "I am tired to death at work every day, and I still have to listen to your nagging. What about you? All day in the outside blind, do not know in busy what, this home and you have managed how much?" Two people each argued, each other, the quarrel echoed in the small room, as two beasts trapped in the cage, tearing each other's weaknesses.
Xiao Xue's mind couldn't help but conjure up Xiong Yufang's eyes full of envy and admiration, as well as the fluttering feeling she had when she was being courted outside. She felt more and more that she was out of place in this home, as if she should have belonged to another world, a world full of luxury and glory. "If only I really was a rich second generation, I wouldn't have to live this miserable life in this shitty place." She sighed silently in her heart, her yearning for the kind of life Xiong Yufang portrayed in her mouth growing stronger. She knew deep down that she would have to pay more lies and costs to maintain her false image in front of Xiong Yufang, but at the moment, she was so deep in it that she couldn't pull herself out. She fantasized that one day she would be able to completely change her fate by virtue of her relationship with Xiong Yufang or the benefits she gained from her, so that all those who had once despised her would look at her in a different light, especially the husband in front of her, who made her heart sick. She longs to escape from this ordinary, trivial and quarrelsome family to pursue the unattainable dream of luxury, even if this dream is just a castle in the air, which will be shattered at the touch of a button.
