Li Ming is a 26-year-old young man from an ordinary rural family. He has been working in a big city for several years, and for the sake of living expenses, he chooses to live in a cheap rental house and spend every day with other migrant workers.
It was then that Li Ming got acquainted with a 45-year-old aunt - Aunt Mei. Aunt Mei is a single woman who also lives in the same rental house because of her work. At first, they just exchanged pleasantries, and they didn't have much intersection with each other. However, a chance encounter changed their lives.
One day, Li Ming returned to the rental house in a low mood because he lost the opportunity to work. He saw Aunt Mei preparing dinner, and her face showed a little tiredness. The scrappy Li Ming took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Auntie, can I help too?" ”
Aunt Mei was a little surprised at first, but soon she smiled and invited Li Ming to join her. And just like that, they made a hearty dinner together. From that day on, Li Ming and Aunt Mei became closer and closer.
Over time, they began to share each other's stories. Li Ming confided in Aunt Mei about the hardships and loneliness of coming to the city to work, while Aunt Mei told about her longing for family and persistence in pursuing happiness.
Despite the considerable age difference, there is a special tacit understanding and dependence between them. In order to get rid of loneliness and predicament, they began to face the challenges of working life together.
During this time, Li Ming gradually found that he cared so much about Aunt Mei, and even developed more feelings for her. Although he tried to suppress the feeling, he couldn't help himself. He once asked himself, "What kind of relationship does a 26-year-old young man have with a 45-year-old aunt?" ”
However, fate does not seem to allow them to continue. Aunt May was unemployed from a workplace and faced the dilemma of homelessness. Seeing her helpless, Li Ming decided to help her. So, he suggested that Aunt May could move in with him.
At first, Aunt Mei hesitated, but considering the current predicament, she finally accepted the offer. Since then, Li Ming and Aunt Mei have started living together.
Together, they have built a new family and shared the pressures and difficulties of life together. Li Ming did his best to create a comfortable living environment for Aunt Mei, who silently provided him with moral support and encouragement.
They had dinner at the table and shared each other's joys and pains; Laugh heartily in front of the TV with a comedy; Chat and comfort each other at the bedside. Gradually, they discover that it doesn't matter how old they are, what really matters is their understanding and companionship.
However, this period of cohabitation was not all smooth sailing. The discussion and criticism in society always surrounds them. Some questioned whether their relationship was ethical, and others mocked their age difference. However, for Li Ming and Aunt Mei, these have become inconsequential background sounds.
They no longer care about the eyes of others, they just want to be able to continue to have this precious feeling. They choose to believe in each other and believe that true love should not be limited by age, gender, or societal beliefs.
To this day, they are still together and continue their part-time jobs. Li Ming is no longer a lonely young man, but has a real family. Aunt Mei also found the sense of belonging and happiness she had been longing for.
