Liu Yu is an old young man. Some time ago, he was introduced to Yao Jie. Like Liu Yu, Yao Jie became a "leftover woman" due to various reasons. A pair of leftover men and women together, each other impression is good, soon entered the stage of marriage.

When it comes to marriage, Liu Yu is sad. Why? Because in this city, he has no house, no car, no ticket! Yao Jie was in the same situation with him. They thought: "Isn't naked marriage popular nowadays? Maybe we should get married naked too. It's fashionable and cheap."

The so-called naked marriage, popular point said is what ceremony also do not, two people get a certificate to live together on the line.

Liu Yu's parents were very happy and said, "You are doing something new. We support you. Let's put two tables of wine at home. Please invite your relatives and friends."

Liu Yu said: "Everything is simple, simply even this also save it."

The father said, "Well, I'll send you the money I saved for the banquet and buy some furniture." Soon enough, my father sent me ten thousand dollars.

Liu Yu said to Yao Jie proudly, "You see, this is ten thousand yuan saved. Otherwise this money is not free to eat, this is the benefit of naked marriage!"

According to Yao Jie's idea, two people travel nearby, also count as a marriage. Liu Yu agreed, but when he asked for leave, the leader said, "The company is very busy these days. If you agree not to take wedding leave, the company will triple your salary for that time. The company can give you extra time off when the rush is over. Young people have plenty of opportunities."

Liu Yu agreed. He came back and said to Yao Jie, "Why don't you ask for a wedding leave and ask for three times your salary? The extra money adds up to a decent appliance." Ms. Yao seemed reluctant, but did not object.

Yao Jie moved into Liu Yu's rental house, and the two were married. Although the day is dull, but live happily. After years of being single, the feeling of "home" made them feel fresh and warm.

One day, when two people pass by a wedding photograph studio, Yao Jie stops the pace. Liu Yu looked up, a giant advertisement, a couple of new sweet embrace.

Yao Jie grabbed his arm and said, "Let's take a wedding photo. Everyone in my office has one." Yao Jie beseeching eyes let Liu Yu some heart, but he turned a thought, married all, still take what wedding dress photograph? So a little form is so important? So said: "We want to naked marriage, simply naked a complete, lest let a person joke, wedding photos also avoided it."

But Yao Jie's feet seemed to be stuck. She stood still and gently shook his arm: "It's on sale. It doesn't cost anything." The bright thing in Yao Jie's eyes softened Liu Yu's heart. He quickly smiled and pulled her away. "Do you really believe those deceptive tricks? They said they were on sale, and you took them, and they promised you one fancy after another. Come on."

In fact, Liu Yu is not a stingy person, but when people talk about marriage, it is how much money they spent, how much debt they carried; I, on the other hand, am not only debt-free, but have saved some money for later life. Even better, telling others about your "naked marriage" is not only not humiliating, but also fashionable.

Liu Yu thinks the marriage is worth it. He talks about the benefits of "naked marriage" to everyone he meets.

The new feeling of the newlywed in the past, two people's feelings gradually return to the insipid. Although married not long, but Liu Yu felt is an old married couple.

He sometimes felt as if there was something missing in his life, but he comforted himself by saying, isn't that what life is all about? Indeed, he enjoyed it. Isn't it nice to have everything in order at home and a growing bank balance?

On a trip to Hangzhou organized by Liu Yu's company, he found a beautiful silk scarf in the mall, which cost a lot of money. Liu Yu thought it must be very beautiful to wear on his wife's neck, so he bought it. When he paid, his heart ached. On her way home, Liu Yu received a call from her sister saying she was getting married. Sister married, a red envelope is not good, so Liu Yu did not think about it, said: "I bought you a beautiful silk scarf."

When he got home, Yao Jie helped him unpack and dug out the silk scarf. She said "wow" in surprise. Liu Yu said, "It's a wedding gift for my sister." When he saw the light in Yao Jie's eyes go out, he felt guilty. He thought that next time he had a chance, he would remember to buy her a gift. However, after a long time, he forgot about it, and Yao Jie did not mention it again.

Liu Yu was sent to another city for three months because of his job. In order to contact customers, he bought a local mobile phone card. On the evening of the end of his Posting, he checked his phone bill and found he had enough for a few minutes. But it's already past 9 p.m., so who should I call for a few minutes? He thought of Yao Jie.

These three months, because of busy work, I rarely go home. Because want to save money, also did not call, occasionally send a text message, is also routine. For example, "I am so tired after talking with the client all day today", Yao Jie replied with similar content. In fact, he often thought of his wife, but not too used to say "disgusting" words, so the text message ability Baba.

I tried my home phone, but it rang for a long time. He was confused. Maybe in the bathroom, he thought. After a while I called again, but still no one answered. He's in a hurry. Where would she be at this time of night? He remembered that she did not usually go out at night. He began to dial her cell phone, although the answer to ask for money, but also not so much.

The phone is working.

"Wife, where are you? I missed you." He felt his voice tremble as he said this. At the same time, he wondered how he had uttered the words so naturally that they seemed to slip out of his mouth. Just that moment of worry, let him realize that he is really miss her, the phone did not come for a long time to answer. Moreover, he faintly heard Yao Jie's sobs.

Liu Yu was in a panic. He was anxious to ask again and again: "Wife, what's wrong with you, are you wronged?"

Yao Jie still did not speak, Liu Yu was anxious to get up from the bed. Finally, he heard Yao Jie's voice: "If you really miss me, come back right away. I'll wait for you at the cross street." It was not loud, but it was clear, as if it were spoken word by word.

He had never heard Yao Jie speak in such a tone, and the phone was cut off. He jumped up, put on his clothes and went straight to the station, but the late train had already left. Fortunately, it was not far between the two cities, so he decided to take a taxi.

When the driver offered the price, he didn't even bargain. Although this time, in a single blow, he used up three months of saving money, but he did not care, because he wanted to see Yao Jie right away, right away!

He got out of the car at the cross street. It was raining lightly, but he did not find Yao Jie. The girl THAT WEARS RED WINDbreaker stands IN THE street, that figure lets A person move. He hit himself on the head. What time is it? He's still thinking!

At this moment, the girl turned around and it was Yao Jie! He had never seen her in it before. His wife looked so beautiful from the back...

Yao Jie stood in the rain without an umbrella. Her face was wet and her lips were blue from the cold.

Seeing Liu Yu, she cried. Liu Yu held her in his arms: "Don't cry, don't cry, I am not back? Tell me what's going on."

Yao Jie smiles through tears: "What matter also have no, is miss you. Come, I'll take you to meet someone." Liu Yu doubt unceasingly, this late at night, to see who ah?
