    Hu Xinrui came to Pengcheng from the small market town of her hometown with a dream. When she first entered the society, she was optimistic, cheerful, lively and laughing every day. Every morning before she went out, she smiled at herself in the mirror and said, "Come on. Xinrui!"

    But as time passed, the ignorant little girl grew up year by year and became the old leftover girl in everyone's mouth. She seemed to be getting further and further away from her original dream, but the most terrible thing was that she felt sick.

    I have a disease called urban congestion, and a disease called urban apathy...

    Part of a person's ability will disappear, such as the humor that no one supports, the righteousness that has suffered a lot of losses, the self-confidence that is not appreciated, the effort that is not rewarded, and the love that is not answered.

    These abilities are replaced by heartbreak and new abilities to protect yourself.

    Just like Hu Xinrui's current appearance, she disguised herself as a careful hedgehog, not only afraid of hurting others, but also afraid of being hurt by others.

    The late-night subway was still full of people returning home late, and everyone was expressionless and swaying with the moving subway.

    The wall-mounted advertising machine on the subway did not know when it was replaced with a new advertisement. The bored Hu Xinrui stared at the advertising machine, but was quickly attracted by the content inside.

    On the TV, a lonely figure was sitting on the bay window, glanced at the neon outside the window, picked up the mobile phone and asked: where is the artery in the hand, the more specific the better.

    Does she want to kill herself?

    The camera cuts to a conversation between a workplace beauty and the boss of a newsstand.

    "Boss, I want a Bazaar."

    "I left this for my daughter, let's go, don't bother me!"

    The newsstand owner threw the magazine on the table and said impatiently to the girl.

    A slightly sad narration sounded: "Everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, no one will care about your feelings."

    The girl was sad and picked up the book and left.

    The camera shot again to a driver who was driving to meet the customer. He was talking carefully to Mr. Wu, who was on the other end of the phone. Just after hanging up, he suddenly found a traffic policeman beckoning him to stop in front of him. He hung up the phone and fastened his seat belt. Facing the oncoming traffic police, his expression was gloomy. He didn't wear a seat belt while driving and even made a phone call. It was definitely another ticket.

    President Wu's call rang hurriedly from the side, but he didn't dare to pick it up.

    Zhou Bubu's narration sounded again: "Everyone lives carefully, no one will care about your situation."

    The picture cuts to an office building, and the little brother who was rushing to deliver the food quickly caught up with the elevator, and the others covered their noses in disgust. Just as they entered the elevator, the overweight alarm sounded.

    "In the crowd in a hurry, you are not special at all and will not be given preferential treatment."

    The delivery guy could only get off the elevator, and helplessly glanced at the order on his mobile phone. There were only 3 minutes left for the order. For this order, he would be fined.

    A frustrated girl appeared in the camera with tears in her eyes, holding a wine bottle and stumbling on the snowy street alone, causing passers-by to watch and take pictures.

    Tears welled up.

    Narrator: "Your suffering is just a joke in the eyes of others."

    As soon as the camera turned, the rags on a tricycle scratched a luxury car.

    A bald elder brother with a big gold chain got off the car, touched the scratches in distress and scolded: "You are blind!"

    The tricycle master who got into the accident stood by tremblingly, and kept repeating, "I'm sorry boss, how much money I'll pay."

    The bald-headed elder brother roared when he heard the words: "What do you pay for the broken cart!"

    After speaking, the bald-headed brother opened the trunk, took out an iron rod and walked towards the tricycle master. He looked around in a panic, hoping that someone could help him, but everyone looked at him indifferently.

    The narration interprets this scene well: "In a world of indifference, everyone has nowhere to run."

    The small print on the black screen is particularly eye-catching: This world, will it not be better?

    The camera cuts back to the girl who originally asked about the location of the artery. Her question on the Internet was quickly answered by netizens. Messages popped in one after another, and the girl quickly picked up the phone.

    "Little cutie, I've hidden your arteries. I'll show you when you smile."

    The girl's eyes tightened.

    "Just buy a bottle of Artery and read it upside down, fool, there are more fun things than Artery. Are you unhappy? I'll cook the porridge for you. The porridge I cook is delicious."

    After reading this, her eyes were already red.

    The boss of the newsstand saw a pickpocket who was about to steal beside the girl who bought the magazine, so he scolded the girl and drove the girl away.

    A passerby took a photo of the drunk girl, and then Aite called the police and informed them that it was cold, so hurry up and come here!

    The driver who was stopped by the traffic police thought he was going to get a ticket, but the traffic police just told him that he did not close the fuel tank cap and reminded him to drive safely.

    The originally soothing background piano sound gradually intensified, not abrupt, but very warm.

    The girl who wanted to commit suicide burst into tears as she watched the messages sent one after another by netizens.

    "You don't have to know this, the doctor just knows it, we love you!"

    "Your arteries are hidden for me, and I'll show you when you smile!"

    "You are in the artery in my heart!"

    The elevator door of the office building opened, and the dejected delivery boy stood at the door. A man came out of the elevator and patted him on the shoulder: "Come in, I'll take the stairs!"

    The delivery boy looked at the back of the other party in disbelief, with a complicated expression.

    The tattered tricycle master thought that the luxury car driver would use an iron rod to teach himself a lesson, but the bald-headed brother just smashed his tattered tricycle with an iron rod, and then shouted: "It's even!"

    The onlookers let out a good-natured laugh.

    The narration lit up: "The world is not as good as it seems, but it seems... not so bad."

    The piano sounded suddenly.

    The police found the drunk girl lying in the snow for the first time;

    The girl who wanted to commit suicide covered her mouth and looked at the messages sent by netizens on her mobile phone, leaving tears of regret and happiness;

    The tricycle master couldn't believe that the bald-headed brother didn't ask him for compensation, his eyes followed the departing luxury car, and the bald-headed brother who was driving showed a smile where no one saw him;

    Smiles bloomed on the faces of the traffic police, the drivers, and the girls who bought magazines.

    When the drunk girl woke up, she found herself in the hospital and saw a police officer in a dark blue uniform helping her register. The police badge on her shoulder had never been so conspicuous!

    The delivery boy played by Zhou Beibu seemed to be moved by the righteous passers-by. He frowned and seemed to want to cry, but he showed a moved smile.

    The screen returned to darkness again, and a line of small white characters lit up: "In this world, there are always people who secretly love you, to those ordinary little warmth in life."

    After Hu Xinrui read it, she felt that something warm was flowing on her face, she reached out and touched it, was it tears?

    She wiped away her tears in embarrassment, turned around and found that there were already people standing beside her. Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and found that their eyes were all red, and a man smiled and handed her a tissue.

    For the first time, Hu Xinrui felt the care and warmth from strangers in this city that did not belong to her.
