Guo Shenglan, a gentle, kind, smart and excellent girl, her life has always been in order. At work, she is a good and respectable colleague, and at home, she is a good daughter with filial piety. Xu Hongfei, her colleague, a sunny and handsome young man, their story is like a beautiful encounter.
They met in an outdoor team building activity organized by the unit. On that day, the sun was shining and the breeze was blowing, and the colleagues divided into several groups for an orienteering competition. Sheng Lan and Hong Fei were randomly placed in the same group. Before the start of the game, Hongfei took the initiative to walk to Shenglan's side, smiled and said, "Let's work together and strive to get a good result." Sheng Lan nodded, and had a good impression of this sunny boy in his heart.
During the race, they need to solve a series of puzzles to find hidden clues. With his keen observation, Shenglan discovered the first clue, while Hongfei quickly solved the puzzle with his excellent logical thinking. They cooperate tacitly and lead all the way. While crossing a dense forest, Shenglan accidentally sprained her foot, and Hongfei immediately helped her sit down, carefully massaged her ankle, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" Sheng Lan shook his head, and his heart was warm.
In that team building activity, they not only won the competition, but also won the favor of each other. Since then, Shenglan and Hongfei have communicated more and more at work. They often work overtime together, discuss projects, and face challenges together. Once, the company took on an urgent project that needed to be completed in a short period of time. Shenglan and Hongfei took the initiative to stay, they worked together, Shenglan was responsible for data analysis, and Hongfei was responsible for program design. In the dead of night, the two of them were the only ones left in the office. Sheng Lan was tapping the keyboard intently, while Hongfei was carefully drawing the design next to him. They occasionally exchanged views and encouraged each other, and that tacit understanding and trust quietly grew between them.
As time passed, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up. Hongfei began to take the initiative to invite Shenglan to eat and watch movies together, and their topics extended from work to life, from movies to dreams. Shenglan found that Hongfei not only has strong work ability, but also has a sense of humor, which can always make her laugh. And Hongfei is also attracted to Shenglan's intelligence and independence, and their relationship quietly grows in these ordinary days.
On a night of overtime, Hongfei suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at Shenglan seriously: "Shenglan, I find that I like to work with you more and more and spend these nights together." Would you like to spend more time with me? Sheng Lan raised her head, met his sincere eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart, she nodded, and the two held hands tightly.
In those days spent together, the relationship between Shenglan and Hongfei gradually changed from colleagues to friends, and then from friends to lovers. Their cooperation is no longer limited to work, and the bits and pieces of life have also become a common topic for them. Hongfei will prepare dinner for Shenglan when she is busy, and Shenglan will bring him a hot cup of coffee when Hongfei is working overtime. They began to share their joys and sorrows and plan for the future together.
As time went on, their feelings grew deeper. On a weekend outing, Hongfei took Shenglan to a peaceful lake. The afterglow of the setting sun sparkles on the surface of the lake. Hongfei suddenly stopped and looked at Shenglan seriously, his eyes flashed with determination: "Shenglan, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, are you willing to marry me?" Sheng Lan's heart beat faster, and she looked at the ring in Hongfei's hand, which shone warmly in the setting sun. She nodded, tears rolling in her eyes, and she knew that this was the moment she had been waiting for.
Since then, they have been preparing for their wedding. Hongfei took Sheng Lan to meet his family, and Sheng Lan also introduced his parents. The two families sat together and talked about the future of their children, in a warm and harmonious atmosphere. Sheng Lan thought that she had finally found her own happiness.
However, just as they are about to enter the marriage hall, Shenglan overhears a conversation between Hongfei's mother and a neighbor. It was a sunny afternoon, and Sheng Lan left work early, intending to surprise Hongfei. She walked into the house lightly, but heard Hongfei's mother's voice from the living room: "Don't worry, Shenglan's family conditions are good, her father is the leader of the unit, and if she marries her, the status of our family can also be improved." The neighbor's aunt echoed: "Yes, Hongfei, this child really has a vision and has found a good daughter-in-law." Hongfei's mother said proudly: "Of course, my son has been smart since he was a child and knows how to choose." ”
Sheng Lan stood at the door, his heart like a knife. She never thought that the person she loved deeply would have such a family behind her. She felt a wave of dizziness, and the key in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Hongfei's mother and neighbors heard the sound and hurriedly walked out of the living room, and when they saw Sheng Lan's pale face, a trace of panic flashed on their faces.
Shenglan's heart was full of contradictions and struggles. She is deeply in love with Hongfei, but Hongfei's mother's words make her deeply suspicious of this relationship. She began to reflect on whether this relationship was just a scene carefully planned by Hongfei? Is she just a tool for him to elevate the family?
A few days later, Shenglan decided to have a good talk with Hongfei. She chose a quiet café, and the two sat facing each other, and Shenglan took a deep breath and told Hongfei what she heard that day. Hongfei's face turned pale in an instant, and he tried to release it, but Shenglan's heart was already cold. What she needs is not explanation, but sincerity.
Hongfei tries to redeem it, and he tells Shenglan that his feelings for her are genuine, and his mother's words and actions do not represent his thoughts. But Shenglan couldn't believe it anymore. She knew that if Hongfei really loved her, he should have stood up long ago to stop his mother's misbehavior. What she needs is a partner who can stand by her side and face difficulties together, not someone who calculates behind her back.
Shenglan decided to break up. She told Hongfei that she needed time to think and replan her life. Hongfei looked at her helplessly, his eyes full of reluctance, but he knew that Shenglan had already made a decision.
After the breakup, Katsu Lan returned to her dorm room, and she began to organize her belongings and prepare to leave the place that was once full of love. She knew that this would be a brand new beginning, a beginning without Hongfei, only herself. She wants to get back to that independent, confident self, and she wants to start living again.
