We agreed to meet at a café. I arrived at my appointment time that day and saw a man in a white shirt sitting in the corner waiting for me.
When he saw me, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.
"Hello, I'm Zhang Xiwei. You're Aunt Liang, right? He looked at me with warm eyes, and his voice was low and magnetic.
"Yes, hello. You can just call me Aunt Liang. I replied with a slight smile.
Once we sat down, the chat was unusually pleasant. Xiwei is a businessman, and although he is more than ten years younger than me, I admire his ideas and insights.
"Aunt Liang, do you have any hobbies?" Xiwei asked me.
"Actually, I don't have any special hobbies, I like to read, cook and look for information on the Internet." I said with a soft smile.
"Wow, Aunt Liang is very connotative! I've heard that you are a very responsible person. Xi Wei complimented.
I felt a little embarrassed, but an inexplicable fire ignited in my heart. Maybe it's because of my age, it's been a long time since anyone complimented me like that.
Over the next few hours, we talked a lot about it and felt closer to each other. Time flew by, and it was nine o'clock in the evening.
"Aunt Liang, are you alone? Do you want me to take you home? Xiwei asked sincerely.
I hesitated, but I wanted to say yes. I haven't experienced this feeling of warmth for a long time.
"Okay, you can send me home." I said with a smile.
We were walking down a wide sidewalk. Xiwei reached out and gently shook my hand. I looked at him with some emotion, feeling that it was a kind of warmth that I had not seen in a long time.
On the way home, we had a great chat. Walking into the room, the familiar furniture and furnishings made me feel a sense of security.
"Xiwei, do you want a cup of tea?" I asked gently.
"Okay, Aunt Liang, what tea do you have?" Xiwei replied with a smile.
Before you know it, it's late at night. We continued to chat and talked about sleeping. I thought it was a little funny, but I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Xiwei, aren't you going home?" I asked with a smile.
"Aunt Liang, I fell in love with you at first sight, and I want to be with you." Xi Wei said seriously.
It took me a long time to react, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised. Someone developed feelings for me so quickly?.
"Xiwei, we've only known each other for a few hours, are you sure you want this?" I asked with some hesitation.
"Aunt Liang, will you agree?" Xiwei looked at me firmly.
I was silent for a while, not knowing what to say. This decision came as a surprise to me. But what kind of reason can you refuse love?
Eventually, I decided to say yes to Xiwei, and we lived together that night.
When I woke up the next morning, Xiwei was already gone. I sat on the edge of my bed, thinking about what had happened last night, my face full of confusion and confusion.
When I got out of bed and got dressed, and when I walked out of the room, I unexpectedly met my son Liang Feng. He stood in the living room, looking at me with a disgruntled expression.
"Mom, why did you come back so early?" Liang Feng's tone was marked with obvious reproach.
I explained a little awkwardly, "Son, I met someone last night, and we had a good conversation, so we decided to be together.
Liang Feng's face became even more ugly, and he glared at me: "Mom! How can you cohabit with a stranger so rashly? ”
I feel a little wronged, I'm just pursuing my own happiness, am I wrong?
"Liang Feng, you don't know the relationship between me and Xiwei, we understand each other and support each other." I tried to explain.
"Mom, can't you just think about the impact of your family? It's so irresponsible for you to do that! Liang Feng's voice became more and more excited.
I felt my emotions start to spiral out of control, and I didn't mean to hurt my family.
"Liang Feng, you can't rely on me all the time, you should have your own life, instead of always accusing me!" I retorted emotionally.
Liang Feng was stunned for a moment, a painful expression flashed on his face, "Mom, I'm not blaming you, I'm just worried that you will get hurt."
I looked at Liang Feng, and suddenly a feeling of understanding him came to my heart. He has always been a dutiful son, and his concern is out of concern for my physical and mental health.
"Thank you for your concern, son. But life is all about making my own choices and decisions, and I need to try something new.
Liang Feng glanced at me, his eyes revealing disappointment. "Mom, you're going to regret it." He turned and left the living room, leaving me alone to fall into deep thought.
I sat on the couch and thought back to that moment last night. Xiwei gave me a feeling of warmth and attention that I hadn't felt in a long time, but now I began to doubt my decision.
I began to regret it.
What's next? Should I face my decisions and be held accountable for them? Or retreat and return to your familiar life?
I froze in place, and my feelings began to get complicated. I want to have love, but I also don't want to let myself feel miserable and abandoned.
I decided to call Xiwei to find out what had happened to him. But when I got through the phone, I heard a strange female voice.
I decided to find out what Heewe's true purpose was. So, I researched his background and also found contact information.
I found this contact, a woman named Li Shan. She was young and beautiful, but she had a resolute expression.
Li Shan glanced at me and sighed: "Aunt Liang, I am Xiwei's sister. He left because of some family disputes in our family involving a large sum of money.
My heart began to become heavy, I did not expect that such a complicated family dispute was hidden behind this blind date.
"Li Shan, what does your family's problem have to do with me? Why did Xiwei get involved with me? I asked impatiently.
Li Shan sighed, and her expression became complicated: "Aunt Liang, I know this is a huge burden for you.
I don't know if he left for the sake of the family, but I can tell you that he meant it to you.
I listened to Li Shan's words quietly, and the contradictions and confusion in my heart gradually dissolved. Maybe the real purpose of this blind date is not as simple as I thought.
I sat on the edge of my bed in a daze, not knowing how to deal with this sudden situation. Although I agreed to Xiwei's invitation, I realized now that I didn't know him at all.
Sleepy-eyed, I went into the kitchen, hoping to find some breakfast. However, when I opened the refrigerator, I was surprised to find that there was almost nothing inside.
Just as I was about to wake him up, there was a knock on the door. I was overjoyed, thinking that Xiwei was back.
Standing outside the door turned out to be my son Xiao Ming! He looked at me with a surprised expression on his face and said coldly, "Mom, how could you live with a strange man?" Did you have such a bad upbringing? ”
I scratched my head in embarrassment, not knowing how to explain it. Xiao Ming lowered his voice and continued: "Mom, my sister and I found a photo of you and Xiwei together, and we are very worried that you will be deceived.
I fell silent, my heart tangled. How could I be so careless about cohabiting? I know almost zero about Xiwei, and now I don't even know his real name.
Xiao Ming sighed, looked at my lost expression, and said softly, "Mom, do you know? We're all worried about you.
I nodded silently, tears rolling in my eyes. I was so impulsive, too innocent, I didn't expect that a split-second decision would have such consequences.
Xiao Ming approached me, gently hugged my shoulders, and comforted, "Mom, don't be sad. We'll help you out.
I raised my head and looked at Xiao Ming's mature face, my heart full of gratitude and remorse. Yes, I need to face reality and find Xiwei's true identity.
When I woke up the next morning, Xiwei was already gone. I sat on the edge of my bed, thinking about what had happened last night, my face full of confusion and confusion.
A few days later, Xiwei showed up at my door again, but this time with a small child. He claimed to be the father of my child, named Zhang Jinlin.
"Aunt Liang, I didn't tell you, I have a seven-year-old son." Xi Wei said apologetically.
"Aunt Liang, please accept us, we really need you." There was a hint of begging in Xiwei's eyes.
I hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and accepted them. In the days that followed, I did my best to adapt to this new family.
However, problems followed. I found that Jin Lin was far more dependent on Xiwei than he was close to me.
I felt like I had become redundant in this family, and loneliness and helplessness filled my heart.
"Aunt Liang, can I not call you mother? I just want to call Daddy. Jin Lin's words hit my heart like a cold hammer.
I deeply realized the deep family relationship between Xiwei and Jin Lin, and the bond between them made me feel inferior and lonely.
As the days passed, I began to feel more and more that I had lost the meaning of my existence in this family.
