My name is Li Hao, I am 28 years old, and I am an ordinary white-collar worker. I live in a small community, and I don't know my neighbors very well, so I only meet and say hello once in a while.
One night, I had just come home from work and was about to take a shower when the doorbell rang suddenly. When I opened the door, it turned out to be Uncle Wang, the next-door neighbor.
Uncle Wang is a middle-aged man who has lived here alone since his divorce from his wife. He has a daughter named Wang Yuxin, a college student who usually goes to school in other places and rarely comes back.
When Uncle Wang saw me, he said embarrassedly, "Li Hao, hello." I have something I want to discuss with you. ”
I thought to myself, this Uncle Wang doesn't usually talk to me much, why did he suddenly come to me today? Is there some trouble?
I let him into the house and poured him a glass of water. Then ask him what the hell is going on.
Uncle Wang said, "Actually, that's the case. My daughter is coming back for the Chinese New Year in the next few days, but I have something to do here and have to travel for a while. So I wanted to ask if you could help me take care of her. ”
I was a little surprised when I heard it, thinking that this Uncle Wang was too irresponsible. His daughter came back for the New Year, but he was going on a business trip. And what about his daughter? Do you want to spend the New Year at home alone?
Uncle Wang saw my doubts and quickly explained: "Actually, this business trip is also a temporary thing. I was planning to celebrate the Chinese New Year with my daughter, but suddenly there was an urgent project to deal with at the company. If I don't go, it may affect my work. ”
As you know, the economy is not going to be good right now, and it's hard to find a job. It's hard for me to support myself on my own, let alone provide for my daughter's schooling. That's why this business trip is very important to me. ”
Don't worry, I'm just out for a few days and I'll be back soon. I'll compensate you then. Can you help? ”
Uncle Wang said it very sincerely, and his situation was really difficult. I sympathize with him in my heart.
However, it would be too embarrassing for me to help him take care of his daughter. I don't know his daughter at all, how can we live together?
And I'm also a single man, living with a young girl, if something happens, how can I be responsible?
Just when I was hesitating, Uncle Wang took out his mobile phone again and showed me a **.
It was a picture of his daughter's **, she was very beautiful, with big eyes, black hair, **fair, and a sweet smile.
Uncle Wang said: "This is my daughter's **, her name is Wang Yuxin, she is 20 years old this year, and she is a sophomore. She has a good personality and is very sensible, and she will not cause you trouble. Look at how cute she is, can you refuse her? ”
I looked at that **, and I couldn't help but feel a little shaken. Wang Yuxin is indeed a beauty, if you live with her, there may be some unexpected surprises.
But I still don't think it's a good fit, after all, we don't have anything to do with each other. How can I live with a strange girl?
Just when I was in conflict, Uncle Wang suddenly knelt down, hugged my legs, and cried and said, "Li Hao, you can help me." I beg you. My daughter is the only one with you. If you don't, I really don't know what to do. ”
Uncle Wang did this, and I was even more embarrassed to refuse. I quickly helped him up and said, "Uncle Wang, don't be like this." I promise you. I promise you to help you take care of your daughter. ”
After hearing this, Uncle Wang immediately said happily: "Really? Did you really say yes? That's great! Thank you so much! Don't worry, I'll make it up to you. You're such a nice guy! ”
After that, he hugged me and cried gratefully. I was also embarrassed by him.
That's it, since you have promised others, you can only do your best. Anyway, it's only been a few days, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
The next afternoon, Wang Yuxin returned. Uncle Wang brought her to my home and explained the situation to her.
When Wang Yuxin saw me, she was a little surprised and said, "It turned out to be you." I still remember you. You're the handsome guy next door. ”
I was a little confused and wondered how could she remember me? Have we met before?
Wang Yuxin said: "Actually, we have met before. It was the summer vacation two years ago. When I came back to see my dad, I met you downstairs. You were wearing a white t-shirt and jeans and carrying a black briefcase. ”
I was just returning from shopping at the supermarket and bumped into you in the elevator. There were only two of us in the elevator. You also gentlemanly helped me press the floor button and said hello to me. Wang Yuxin said.
What did you say at the time? I asked.
You said at the time, 'Hello, I'm Li Hao next door.' Then he looked at me with a smile. Wang Yuxin said.
Oh, yes? How come I don't remember? I said awkwardly.
How could you not remember? I was so impressed with the look in your eyes at the time. Your eyes are bright and bright, like you can see through people's hearts. Wang Yuxin said.
Is it? How did you feel at the time? I asked curiously.
I was a little nervous and a little excited. Because you're handsome, and you're very polite. I think you're a very attractive man. Wang Yuxin said.
Are you sure? Then why didn't you contact me later? I asked.
Because I don't think you're interested in me. You just greeted me politely and didn't say anything more. And you didn't take the initiative to keep your ***. Wang Yuxin said.
That's because I don't want to bother you. You seem busy, and you're not very familiar either. I'm afraid you'll think I'm harassing you. I explained.
Actually, you don't have to worry. I wouldn't mind. If you offered to talk to me at that time, or asked me out for dinner or something, I would definitely say yes. Wang Yuxin said.
Are you sure? And now? If I asked you out for dinner now, would you say yes? I asked tentatively.
After Wang Yuxin heard this, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and her eyes flashed with expectation.
"Absolutely," she said. As long as I'm with you, I'm willing. ”
After saying that, she stretched out her little hand and gently shook mine.
At this moment, Uncle Wang suddenly came back from outside. He saw the two of us holding hands, sitting on the couch, and said with a surprised face, "Oh, what's going on?" ”
We were all a little embarrassed, so we quickly let go of our hands and stood up.
Uncle Wang said, "I see. You two already know each other. That's great. Li Hao, this is my daughter Wang Yuxin. Yuxin, this is Li Hao next door. ”
We both nodded, indicating that we already knew each other's identities.
Uncle Wang said: "Li Hao, in fact, there is another reason for asking you to help take care of Yuxin this time. ”
What's with? I asked.
Uncle Wang said: "Actually, I have always felt that you and Yu Xin are quite a good match. So this time, I want to take the opportunity to let you get in touch more and see if you can develop into lovers. ”
What the?! "We were all stunned.
Uncle Wang said, "Don't be shy. Actually, I've long seen that both of you have a crush on each other. If you can be together, I will be relieved. ”
Dad, what are you talking about? How can you do that? Wang Yuxin said dissatisfied.
Yuxin, don't be angry. I'm for your good. Li Hao is a good man, capable and responsible. If you are with him, you will be happy. Uncle Wang said.
But Dad, we've only known each other for a short time. We need time to get to know each other. Wang Yuxin said.
Then take your time. But don't delay too long. After all, time waits for no one. Uncle Wang said.
With that, he patted me on the shoulder and walked out of the room smiling.
Wang Yuxin and I glanced at each other, and we both felt each other's heartbeats racing.
We all know that this can be a beautiful start.
We looked at each other and smiled, and we all had an indescribable sweetness in our hearts. We decided to go out for a meal first and then come back for a chat. We walked out of my house, holding hands, toward a nearby restaurant.
On the way, we introduced each other to a little bit about ourselves. I told her that I was a programmer and liked to read books, listen to **, and play games. She told me that she was a sophomore majoring in psychology and that she liked to draw, sing, and dance.
We found out that we had a lot of common interests and hobbies, and we had a great time chatting like old friends. We also found that we had a lot of different places, like fresh fruit, which made us find it interesting. We appreciate each other's strengths and tolerate each other's weaknesses.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we ordered two of our favorite dishes and continued chatting. We talked about our families, friends, studies, jobs, dreams, futures, and more. We find that we have a lot of similar thoughts, like soul mates, and we have a clear heart. We also found that we had a lot of different opinions, like seasonings, which made us feel very flavorful. We respect each other's choices and support each other's dreams.
After eating, we went to a nearby park again and sat on a bench. We leaned together and looked at the stars in the sky. We talked about our childhood anecdotes and laughed back and forth. We talked about our current confusion and confided in it without any scruples. We talked about our expectations for the future, and our eyes flashed with hope.
At that moment, I suddenly felt her hand gently grasp mine. I turned my head to look at her, and she turned to look at me. Our eyes met, and I saw the tenderness and love in her eyes. She saw my steadfastness and courage.
I gently pulled her closer to my arms, and she took the initiative to lean against my chest. I lowered my head and kissed her lightly on the forehead. She looked up and responded softly on my lips.
It was then that I heard her say softly:
Li Hao, I like you. ”
I said with emotion:
Wang Yuxin, I like you too. ”
