Chapter One: Love at First Sight

  New Book Recommendation:

  People often say that great difficulties will not kill you, and there must be good fortune afterwards. Yefeng didn't quite believe in this saying before, because although he hadn't experienced any great difficulties in his life, he had encountered small ones constantly, yet never had any good fortune afterwards.

  Now, Ye Feng firmly believes in this sentence because he has just encountered a great disaster. Not only did he not die in this disaster, but he also gained an unimaginable good fortune from it. This good fortune changed his fate and led him onto a unique path of cultivation.

  It all started with a woman named Liu Meimei, 25 years old, who was as beautiful as her name suggested. At least in Ye Feng's eyes, she was extremely beautiful.

  Ye Feng really liked her, but didn't dare to confess to her. To put it bluntly, Ye Feng had a secret crush on her. It wasn't just Ye Feng; many of his coworkers at the construction site also secretly admired her. Ye Feng was just one of many who harbored such feelings.

  That's right, Ye Feng is just a migrant worker, commonly known as a peasant worker or rural migrant worker.

  Before talking about Ye Feng and Liu Mei Mei's story, let's first introduce Ye Feng's situation.

  Ye Feng was born in a poor mountain valley in Hebei Province, China. His ancestors were all farmers and had never left their hometown valley for generations until his father's generation, when some people began to leave the valley to work in big cities to make money, Ye Feng's father was one of them.

  Ye Feng's grades were good when he went to school, and his Gaokao scores were enough for him to choose a very good provincial key university.

  However, fate likes to play a joke on people by following up a comedy with a tragedy. Ye Feng's father was seriously injured while working outside and had both legs amputated, becoming a disabled person. Not only could he no longer earn money to support the family, but he also needed Ye Feng's mother, who had a disability in her leg, to take care of him personally. Moreover, his stubborn and strong-willed father was clearly unable to accept this reality, leading to a mental breakdown. Although he didn't go mad, he became much older, sometimes clear-headed and sometimes confused, with his body deteriorating rapidly and various illnesses plaguing him. The compensation money for the work injury was soon spent.

  In such a difficult situation, Ye Feng had to painfully give up his dream of going to college and resolutely followed his father's former colleague and fellow villager to Mingzhu City, over 1,000 kilometers away from his hometown, starting his migrant worker career.

  When Ye Feng first started working, he didn't know how to do anything except for having a bit of physical strength. He wasn't a bricklayer or a carpenter, so all he could do was follow his fellow villagers and do odd jobs that only required manual labor, such as carrying bricks, hauling cement, and pulling sand. It was exhausting work but paid very little.

  In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the tide of migrant workers was not yet overwhelming, and as long as one worked hard and conscientiously, many types of work on construction sites could be profitable. Through hard work and study, Ye Feng learned about mortar mixing ratios, material selection and preparation, bricklaying, carpentry, steel reinforcement, electric welding, plumbing, and scaffolding, among other skills, all within less than two years.

  Over the years, Ye Feng had been sending back tens of thousands of yuan to his family and had also saved some money for himself. Although he couldn't afford a bathroom in a commodity house in a big city, he could at least make ends meet. Every year during the Spring Festival, as long as he was free, Ye Feng would return home to visit his parents. Last year during the Spring Festival, Ye Feng even bought a domestically produced mobile phone that was still rare in rural areas for his mother, making it convenient for her to contact him.

  Now, at the age of 25, Ye Feng has become a pillar for his family through his hard work and efforts. He has provided a stable and secure life for his loved ones, although it may be modest, they are all living healthy and worry-free lives. The regret of not attending university is slowly fading away as their living situation continues to improve.

  After a few good days, the mother also started nagging about Ye Feng's lifelong event, always saying that Ye Feng should find a girlfriend, it would be best to find a city girl in the city, if not, there are many reliable and hardworking girls in the village and neighboring villages who can do housework, marrying one as a daughter-in-law is also good.

  Ye Feng understands his mother's anxious mood, seeing him get married and have children has become her greatest wish and the biggest obsession in her heart. His father's health is getting worse day by day, and his grandparents are also getting older. His mother always thinks that if he delays his marriage for too long, it may become the greatest regret of a family member's life.

  But the truth is that Ye Feng was somewhat resistant to marrying a village girl in his heart. After living in the city for so long, he had become accustomed to the fast-paced life of the city and had seen many beautiful young women there. Compared to them, the village girls seemed too ordinary, and he felt that settling for one would be a compromise.

  Although Ye Feng is not a tall, rich and handsome man, he is also not short, ugly and poor. His appearance is not very handsome, but it can be said to be clean and regular, his body is strong and tall. In the words of city people, at most, he is considered a grassroots, a small person living in the lower level of society. Although his identity is humble, deep down in his heart, there are always fantasies about beautiful women returning home, and he thinks that this fantasy is not unrealistic. As long as he is willing to work hard and has opportunities, this fantasy may become a reality.

  But Ye Feng was wrong, fantasies are just fantasies after all. Unrealistic fantasies not only won't come true but will also bring you bad luck. Meeting Liu Meimei made Ye Feng feel as if he had encountered an opportunity for his fantasy to become a reality, and afterwards secretly falling deeply in love with her became the bad luck that he couldn't escape.

  The first time Ye Feng saw Liu Mei, he thought she was beautiful and had a good temperament, with every glance and smile full of charming charm.

  Of course, Ye Feng knew that he thought so because he had an extremely strong affection for Liu Meimei, and this affection could be described in one sentence as love at first sight.

  Ye Feng fell in love with Liu Meimei at first sight, but Liu Meimei initially regarded Ye Feng as if he were invisible. Ye Feng thought this was not her fault, after all, the difference in their identities was too great. She was a rich young lady, while he was just an ordinary laborer. She looked like a celestial being, while he was as plain as grass. She lived in a luxurious villa, while he lived in a simple worker's shed.

  I got to know Liu Mei because the engineering team led by Ye Feng undertook the later-stage greening construction of a luxury villa area, and many owners had already moved in. Liu Mei was one of the villa owners.

  Ye Feng remembered that day he had just finished building the fountain, and his sweaty body was thinking of returning to the simple worker's shed behind the villa district with a group of workers to take a cool shower. At this time, Liu Meimei walked in front of him, wearing a pink tank top, a pair of denim shorts, and a pair of sandals in the sweltering summer heat. She had tied her hair into a ponytail, and her long white legs shone brightly in the sunlight, dazzling Ye Feng so that he didn't dare to look straight at her.

  Actually, it was because Ye Feng thought she was really too beautiful. In front of such a beautiful girl, Ye Feng felt a little guilty, so he didn't dare to look her straight in the eye.

  Liu Mei's first words to Ye Feng were: "Hello, you're the worker who built the fountain, right? Can I trouble you to run an errand for me? My toilet is clogged and I was wondering if you could help me unclog it. I'll give you 100 yuan, okay?"

  Ye Feng agreed without any hesitation and followed Liu Meimei to her villa amidst the whistling of his fellow workers.

  Her home's exquisite decor, luxurious furniture, and expensive appliances made Ye Feng's eyes surge with a hot flow. He was very clear about where this heat came from - it was because he envied her for having such good conditions, envied her for being able to live in such a large and luxurious house.

  If I had to say that I wasn't envious, that would definitely be a lie. Ye Feng isn't so noble, if conditions allowed it, he also likes to smoke 20-yuan Huanghe Lou cigarettes and wear over-100-yuan genuine Levi's. If conditions were even more favorable, he also hopes to experience the nightlife of city people with his workmates, such as singing karaoke, going to bars, or dancing in discos.

  Unfortunately, he doesn't have this condition, and it's unlikely that he will for a very long time to come.

  After helping Liu Meimei unclog the toilet and drain, Liu Meimei gave Ye Feng 100 yuan, but Ye Feng didn't want it, just smiled at her and turned to leave.

  When Ye Feng walked from the second floor of the villa to the first floor and then to the door, Liu Meimei hurriedly chased down from upstairs, smiling and asked Ye Feng: "Since you don't want money, then tell me your name. Let me introduce myself first, my name is Liu Meimei, what about you?"

  "My name is Ye Feng." After saying this, Ye Feng left. It wasn't that he didn't want to say a few more words to her, but as soon as he saw her extremely beautiful face, Ye Feng felt inexplicably nervous and his heart was racing fast. He was afraid of making a fool of himself, so he hastily left.
