Li Ming, a simple rural youth, dragged his heavy luggage and stepped into the bustling and unfamiliar city of Dongguan. His eyes flashed with longing and uneasiness for the future. The high-rise buildings and the bustling crowd made him feel an unprecedented sense of caution.
Dongguan, I'm coming!He silently told himself in his heart that he was determined to change his fate here.
Li Ming soon found a job in an electronics factory, and life began to fall into a monotonous and hectic cycle: work, eat, sleep. The noise of the factory became his daily background sound.
One weekend, Li Ming met Su Wan at a small supermarket near the factory. Su Wan is the niece of the neighbor's aunt and lives alone for a long time because her husband works in another city. Su Wan was gentle and nurturing, and there was a hint of indescribable loneliness in her smile.
You're new here, aren't you?My name is Su Wan. She greeted Li Ming with a smile.
I'm Li Ming, and I've just been here. Li Ming responded with some embarrassment.
Since then, Li Ming and Su Wan's communication has gradually increased. Su Wan often gives Li Ming some advice on life, and Li Ming will also help Su Wan deal with some family chores after work.
One evening, Li Ming met Su Wan at the door of the supermarket, carrying several heavy shopping bags in her hands.
Need help?Li Ming stepped forward and offered to help.
Thank you, Ming Lee. Su Wan looked at him gratefully, a subtle warmth flashed in her eyes.
They were walking home together, and the afterglow of the setting sun cast a long shadow on them.
Are you Xi here?Su Wan asked softly.
It's okay, it's just a bit lonely. Li Ming replied honestly.
Su Wan smiled slightly, and there seemed to be resonance in her eyes: "Me too, life here always makes people feel a little lonely." ”
Li Ming looked at Su Wan, and a trace of inexplicable emotion appeared in his heart. Their conversations are always simple but meaningful.
That night, Li Ming lay in bed with a lot of thoughts. Su Wan's figure lingered in his mind. He felt an emotional entanglement that he had never felt before, but at the same time, he knew that it could be fraught with uncertainty.
As time passed, the relationship between Li Ming and Su Wan gradually became close. They will share their life chores together, and occasionally have a meal together and chat. But Li Ming always felt that there seemed to be a thin layer of ice between them, both close and distant.
The night in Dongguan is always lively, with neon lights flashing with ** light. But for Li Ming, it all seemed as if it had nothing to do with him. In his world, there is only work and Su Wan.
As the story develops, the emotional entanglements between Li Ming and Su Wan become more and more complicated. The prosperity and loneliness of the city are quietly changing their fate.
Dongguan always has an indescribable charm at night, with neon lights lining the streets flashing with seductive light. Li Ming and Su Wan were strolling through such a night, and their relationship was quietly changing.
Sister Su Wan, what was your dream when you were a child?Li Ming broke the silence and tried to lighten the mood.
Su Wan smiled, as if she was brought back to the good past by this question: "I thought about being a teacher, I like to be with children. ”
So why hasn't it materialized?Li Ming asked curiously.
Su Wan sighed, "Life is always full of all kinds of accidents, like I never thought I would marry so far away." ”
Li Ming didn't know what to say, so he could only listen quietly.
Su Wan turned her head and looked at Li Ming, "What about you?"Do you have any dreams?”
I'm ......Li Ming was silent for a while, and then said slowly, "I want to have my own small shop one day, and no longer work hard in the factory every day." ”
Su Wan smiled and nodded, as if she agreed with Li Ming's dream.
They continued walking, and the sounds around them faded away, leaving only the sound of their conversations.
Li Ming, don't you think there is ...... between usSu Wan suddenly stopped, with a hint of hesitation in her tone.
What's wrong?Li Ming asked a little nervously.
Su Wan looked at Li Ming's eyes and took a deep breath, "Isn't it wrong for us to be like this?"I'm married, and you're ......”
Li Ming's heart jumped suddenly, and a trace of panic flashed across his face, "I'm ......."I don't mean anything else, I'm just ......”
Su Wan shook her head, "I know, I just think that if this continues, we will all get hurt." ”
The conversation between the two stopped abruptly, and the air around them seemed to freeze. Li Ming felt an unprecedented sense of frustration.
Sister Su Wan, I'm ......I'll take notice. Li Ming finally whispered.
Su Wan nodded lightly, but her eyes were full of mixed emotions.
They continued walking in silence, and the night seemed to grow darker. This walk made both of them feel a little heavy.
After returning home, Li Ming lay on the bed and couldn't sleep for a long time. Su Wan's words echoed in his mind. He knew that Su Wan was right, but his heart was involuntarily attracted.
Su Wan was also tossing and turning in her room. Her heart was full of contradictions and struggles. She knew that this kind of feeling should not be, but she couldn't completely resist this kind of ambiguity that gradually heated up.
In the early morning in Dongguan, the air is filled with a faint mist. Li Ming's mobile phone rang suddenly, and it was Su Wan's panicked voice: "Li Ming, my husband is back suddenly, and we ......."We can't go on like this. ”
Li Ming's heart sank suddenly, and he felt an unprecedented sense of loss and confusion.
I ......I understand. Li Ming's voice was low and hoarse.
Su Wan's husband, Zhang Qiang, returned to Dongguan earlier than expected. His return smashed into Li Ming and Su Wan's fragile emotional world like a boulder.
Zhang Qiang is a rugged man, he is full of anticipation for Su Wan's return, but he does not notice the subtle changes in the atmosphere at home.
One night, Zhang Qiang proposed to have dinner with the whole family, and Li Ming was also invited. At the dinner table, the atmosphere was extremely awkward. Li Ming tried to stay calm, while Su Wan avoided Zhang Qiang's gaze from time to time.
Li Ming, I heard Su Wan say that you are doing a good job in the factory. Zhang Qiang said enthusiastically.
Li Ming smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, everything is still adapting." ”
After the meal, Zhang Qiang talked to Li Ming.
Xiao Li, I heard Su Wan say that you are very good to her, and I am very grateful. Zhang Qiang patted Li Ming on the shoulder.
Li Ming's heart tightened, and he didn't know how to respond.
But as you know, she's my wife......Zhang Qiang's tone suddenly became serious.
Li Ming felt a suffocation, and he knew it was a warning.
That night, Li Ming lay in bed, his thoughts were chaotic. He realized that the relationship between himself and Su Wan had reached a point where it could not be continued.
The next day, Li Ming decided to leave Dongguan and start his life again. He found Su Wan and told her about this decision.
A trace of panic and reluctance flashed in Su Wan's eyes: "Li Ming, have you really decided?"”
Li Ming nodded, although his heart was full of pain: "Yes, I have to go." It's good for all of us. ”
Su Wan didn't say anything more, just looked at him silently.
Li Ming packed his luggage, stood on the streets of Dongguan, and looked back at this city that was once full of dreams and ambiguity. He knew his life needed a fresh start.
Su Wan decided to stay and try to repair their marriage with Zhang Qiang. She knows that life always needs to face reality, no matter how difficult it is.
When the train slowly drove out of the platform, Li Ming's heart was full of complicated emotions. This experience, although short, gave him a deeper understanding of love and life.
