My name is Zhang Xiaomei, I am 46 years old, and I live alone in a quaint and upscale community. As a senior project manager, I have a busy job, but I have a good income, with an annual salary of up to 500,000 yuan. I've always been focused on my career, so I'm still single.
My best friend Xiaofang often advises me: "Xiaomei, you are 46 years old, it's time to find a partner." It's not good to be single, you should give yourself more choices! "I smile every time, but I'm actually hesitant inside. I'm used to my own pace of life, should I change my life in pursuit of so-called "happiness"?
Just last week, Xiaofang came to urge me again: "Xiaomei, you must come to that blind date tomorrow!" The man's conditions are very good, 45 years old, he is a lawyer, he is gentle and elegant, he is very knowledgeable, I think you two are quite a match. This is a rare opportunity, so go and meet it! ”
I thought about it for a while, but I agreed: "Okay, let's see this last time!" After that, I really don't want to go on a blind date again, so you helped me arrange it. ”
The next day was Saturday, and I started my makeup an hour early, after all, I wanted to make a good impression. Finally, I came to the café where I had agreed with Xiaofang, sat down quietly, and waited for the mysterious man to appear.
My heart began to beat faster and I rubbed my fingers nervously. What kind of person will it be? Can we talk? What if he doesn't like me? All sorts of cranky thoughts floated through my mind. I tried to tell myself that I didn't have to be under too much pressure, that I was just meeting each other this time, and that if it wasn't suitable, I would just say no.
As the minutes ticked by, my anxiety grew stronger. More than ten minutes have passed since the appointed time, and he has not yet appeared. Did you scare away from my bad blind date? Just as I was about to get up to leave, a man hurriedly ran over: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" You know the traffic in Beijing, it's hard for me to get there on time. ”
I took the business card and smiled slightly: "Hello, I'm Zhang Xiaomei, I'm glad to meet you." You may be seated. ”
Li Zhenyang sat down across from me and beckoned the waiter to order two lattes. I looked at him, and the first impression was good, and it gave him a very stable feeling.
I'm sorry for being late. I was supposed to leave early, but there was a sudden traffic jam on the road, and I was almost half an hour late on the elevated road. Li Zhenyang explained apologetically.
It's okay, I've just arrived. It's true that the traffic here is not smooth, so if we continue to contact in the future, it's good to go out early. I said with relief.
That's good, I'm also worried that being late will make a bad first impression on you. Li Zhenyang smiled.
Li Zhenyang is a very humorous person, and his speech is funny and vivid, which can often make me laugh. He told me interesting stories about his work, such as helping a woman who had suffered domestic violence to apply for a protective order, and the angry husband of the other party actually rushed into the courtroom and scolded him, and was detained by the judge on the spot; On another occasion, when he went to the detention center to meet with the prisoner, the prison guards mistook him for a relative of the prisoner and coaxed him to come out.
I said to them, "Brother, if I am really a relative, you guards are not professional, is this worth it?" Li Zhenyang imitated with a smile, "The prison guard looked embarrassed and asked me to leave quickly." ”
I was amused by him and giggled, and I felt that the atmosphere was gradually losing its tension. Li Zhenyang is very good at talking and very self-contained, which left a good impression on me.
Time passed quickly, and late at night, Li Zhenyang offered to send me home. I hesitated, but agreed, after all, the two of us had a good conversation.
In the car, we continued to talk about our families and upbringing. Li Zhenyang told me frankly about his ex-wife, the two had no children, and the relationship did not grow in the end. "My biggest wish now is to find a partner who is a true match and spend the second half of my life. Li Zhenyang groaned.
I nodded, indicating that I understood his thoughts. If you have been alone for a long time, you will inevitably be lonely. "I have similar thoughts, hoping to meet someone who understands me and loves me. It's not easy to go on a blind date, don't let it go when fate arrives. I laughed.
The car quickly arrived at my neighborhood. Li Zhenyang parked the car, hesitated, and said, "Xiaomei, I had a good chat tonight, you are a very good girl." Would you like to go up and sit for a while? I can help you make the meal. ”
I hesitated, and the request was a bit ambiguous and sudden. But on second thought, Li Zhenyang did leave a good impression on me, he was a polite gentleman. So I agreed to his request.
Okay then, sit down for a while. I'll get you something to eat. ”
We took the elevator up to my apartment on the tenth floor. After entering the door, Li Zhenyang took the initiative to look at the decoration of my home and praised: "Your home decoration is really good, simple and chic Nordic style." ”
Thank you, I went to Scandinavia during my study tour, so I changed the style of my home to this. I poured Li Zhenyang a glass of red wine, and the two of them sat down on the sofa in the living room.
By the way, what do you want to eat? I had ham sausage and cheese in the fridge to make a sandwich. I asked enthusiastically.
Okay, I'll just eat whatever I want, no need to prepare it. Li Zhenyang said with a smile.
So I prepared a ham and cheese sandwich for him, and the two of us chatted while eating. Li Zhenyang told a few more interesting anecdotes about lawyers, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. I also feel a lot more relaxed.
After eating the sandwich, Li Zhenyang took the initiative to pour me a glass of red wine, and the two of them continued to talk in the dim light. I noticed that Li Zhenyang looked at me with gentle eyes from time to time, and his words also revealed his good feelings for me.
Xiaomei, can I say that? When I first saw you, I thought you were my ideal woman. Pretty, smart, humorous, mature and cute. It was my pleasure to meet me tonight. Li Zhenyang said.
My heart beat faster and my face burned slightly. Li Zhenyang's straightforward expression made me a little overwhelmed, but I also felt that it felt good to be understood and appreciated.
The distance between us was unconsciously close, and I could even feel Li Zhenyang's warm breathing. When his hand covered mine, my whole body trembled, but I didn't refuse.
Xiaomei, I know it's sudden. But can I kiss you? Li Zhenyang asked in a low voice, looking at me with burning eyes.
I nodded, and he slowly leaned closer, his lips touching mine. I closed my eyes and my heart was beating like thunder. The kiss quickly deepened, and I felt like I was completely immersed in it.
When the kiss ended, my mind was still blank. What happened? I actually had a relationship with a man I met for the first time! Reason tells me that this is sloppy and irresponsible, but emotionally I feel that Li Zhenyang is a person who makes my heart move.
Sorry, I was in too much of a hurry. Li Zhenyang also looked embarrassed, "I didn't mean to bring you **, just impulsively." If you find it difficult to accept, I'll leave now. ”
I understand Li Zhenyang's good intentions, and I don't blame him too much. "It was sudden, for both of us. But it's happening, so let's talk about how to deal with this relationship. ”
Li Zhenyang nodded: "My behavior just now made you embarrassed, but I want you to know that I really like you." It's not just the physical attraction, it's your inner being, your intelligence, your temperament that fascinates me deeply. I sincerely want to pursue you. ”
I could see Li Zhenyang's intentions, but I still said cautiously: "Thank you for your sincerity, but you also understand that we have only met for the first time, and it is not necessarily a good thing for us to develop too fast." Why don't we calm down, get to know each other slowly, and see if this relationship can go a long way? ”
Li Zhenyang thought for a while and agreed with my opinion: "You are right, we should not advance the relationship too quickly. Then let's follow your ideas, keep in touch, and slowly develop the relationship. I'm going to take my leave tonight, I won't bother you during this time, and you can think about our relationship. ”
I am grateful to Li Zhenyang for understanding my thoughts and leaving me enough time and space. When he got up and was about to leave, I still couldn't bear to be like this He said: "Li Zhenyang, I don't completely deny everything that happened tonight. Give me time to think about it and I'll get back to you. ”
Li Zhenyang nodded, said goodbye to me and left. The moment the door closed, I let out a long breath, my mind still thinking in a mess. In my sleep, I dreamed of Li Zhenyang's face and the moment when we went crazy over and over again.
Early the next morning, I sent a message to Li Zhenyang, expressing that I was still sorting out my thoughts and hoped that he would not blame himself. To my surprise, Li Zhenyang quickly replied, saying that he fully understood my feelings and would not put any pressure on me.
Xiaomei, whatever your final decision is, I will respect it. I really think there is a fit between us, and if you feel the same way, you might as well give this relationship a chance to develop. If you need time to think about it, I'll keep waiting. In any case, I wish you a happy life. Li Zhenyang's words reveal a mature and steady character.
After reading the information, I couldn't help but smile slightly. Maybe this unexpected encounter can really be a happy turning point in my life. I decided to give Li Zhenyang and our love a chance.
After careful consideration, I decided to send a message to Li Zhenyang, saying that I wanted to meet and talk again.
Li Zhenyang soon asked me to meet at the café before. The moment I saw him, my heart still beat hard. "Li Zhenyang, after thinking about it these days, I think it is possible for us to develop. "I mustered up the courage to speak my mind.
Li Zhenyang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, with a happy smile on his face. "Xiaomei, do you know how important your words are to me? I've been worried lately that you're going to choose to leave. I'm really happy to hear your reply now. ”
I laughed too. Maybe I already have the answer in my heart, but I just need time for reason to accept it.
But we still need to take our time, start dating, and get to know each other well. I gently reminded.
You're absolutely right. Li Zhenyang nodded, "I will ask you to go to the most romantic restaurant and the most atmospheric movie theater, so that you can feel the happiness of being cared for." ”
Since that day, Li Zhenyang has taken me to experience one beautiful date after another. Sending me to and from work, going out on weekends, and chatting every night. He was like a perfect gentleman, and I was more and more conquered by him.
Two months later, we went to an amusement park on this day, and Li Zhenyang said that he had something important to discuss with me. As we sat in the carriage of the Ferris wheel, he suddenly got down on one knee and took out a chalmof velvet box.
Zhang Xiaomei, these two months together are the happiest time of my life. I am truly in love with you. Will you marry me? Li Zhenyang confessed.
I covered my mouth in surprise and nodded, tears beginning to well-fall in my eyes. "I do! I said excitedly.
Li Zhenyang put on the diamond ring for me, and then hugged me tightly. "Thank you for wanting to spend your life with me, and I will pamper you with all my love. ”
In this way, Li Zhenyang and I embarked on the palace of marriage. Looking back on our encounter now, I am even more convinced that this was God's arrangement. Thank God for letting me meet Li Zhenyang and giving us the opportunity to fall in love. From now on, we will work together to spend every important moment of our lives until the end of our lives.
Life after marriage is as sweet and happy as when we first met.
Li Zhenyang would drive dinner to my company when I was busy with work; I'll pick him up and go home with him when he's working late into the night. We work out and swim together on a regular basis to encourage each other to get fitter. Every week we also found time to do chores together, I did the laundry and cooking, and he cleaned and mopped the floors.
Wife has worked hard! "Li Zhenyang would always give me a big hug after I finished my housework, and then we would snuggle up on the sofa and watch TV series and movies. Sometimes they quarrel over different interpretations of the plot, but they quickly reconcile.
We would also go to the supermarket to buy together, and Li Zhenyang would follow me with a shopping cart, throwing my favorite snacks into it from time to time. "My husband is the best! "I would praise him sweetly. After that, we would walk home while eating the fruit we had just bought.
We also travel a lot on weekends. Last spring we went to Japan and took a group photo in front of the Kyoto shrine in full bloom; We went to Mauritius last summer and dived in the turquoise waters; Last winter we went to Northern Europe to see the Northern Lights. Every trip makes our love deeper.
No matter how you go in the future, I hope you are by my side. Li Zhenyang once said seriously.
Me too, dear. I held his hand tightly.
Until one day, Li Zhenyang excitedly told me that he was going to adopt a child and add some vitality to our lives. I readily agreed.
Soon, a 3-year-old boy named Ozawa became our son. He is clever and cute, and has become the little sun of our lives. I would sing to him and tell him stories; Li Zhenyang would make him toys and teach him to write and draw.
Looking at Ozawa's innocent smiling face, I thank God for allowing me to meet Li Zhenyang and give us such a happy life. It all started with that crazy blind date night. I am truly grateful to Li Zhenyang for his love and companionship with me, and I will give back to him with all my heart.
