On a winter night in Dongguan, it was cold and windy, and I lived alone in a rental house. I was immersed in the hot blanket that night when I suddenly heard a slight knock on the door outside. I wondered who would knock on the door at such a late hour
I put on my padded jacket and walked to the door, looking out through the cat's eye. It was pitch black outside, and only the figure of a woman was visible. My heart tightened, what can a woman do outside at such a late hour?
I hesitated, but decided to open the door. As soon as the door opened, a cold wind blew in my face, and I saw a young woman standing in the doorway, wearing a thin coat and her hair a little messy from the wind.
Excuse me, can I go in and take shelter from the cold?She asked me with some trembling. I saw that she was shivering from the cold, and I couldn't bear it, so I let her into the house.
I poured her a cup of hot water and asked her why she was out so late. She told me that her name was Xiaofang and that she was a girl who came to Dongguan to work. I fell out with my family because of something tonight, and I ran away from home on impulse, but I didn't expect to come out and find out how cruel the outside world is.
I couldn't help but sigh a little after hearing this, and I was also a little worried about her. It's so late and it's dangerous for a girl to be outside. I wanted to keep her with me for the night, but she was a little hesitant. I knew she might be worried about her safety, so I promised her that I would never think anything wrong of her.
Xiao Fang agreed to stay overnight after I persuaded her. I found her a quilt and let her rest on the couch. I went back to bed and went back to sleep.
That night, I tossed and turned, and it was hard to sleep. Xiaofang's experience made me feel very uncomfortable. I didn't know how to help her, so I could only pray silently that she would get through this time safely.
The next morning, I woke up early to prepare breakfast for Xiaofang. After eating, she said that she was leaving, and although I was reluctant, I respected her decision. I dropped her off at the door and told her to be careful.
Later, Xiaofang sent me a text message telling me that she had arrived home safely. I was relieved too. Although Xiaofang and I have only met that side, her experience has made me deeply realize the hardships and difficulties of life. I hope that she can be strong in the face of difficulties and setbacks in life and find her own happiness as soon as possible.
Looking back, the city of Dongguan has given me many memories and experiences. Those who once accompanied me are now separated, but I believe that our fate and friendship will never disappear. Just like that cold winter night, Xiao Fang knocked on my door and made me understand the impermanence and preciousness of life.
Now I have left the city of Dongguan and started a new life and journey. But I will still miss those who have been with me, and that cold and windy winter night, the day when I got to know Xiaofang. Although we no longer have a connection, I hope that she can live happily and no longer go through the trials and hardships of the past.
