I am a 55-year-old middle-aged man named Wu. Not long ago, I went on a blind date and met a 50-year-old woman named Wang. When we first met, something unexpected happened.
In my memory, Wang was a gentle woman. I walked up to her and greeted her with a smile: "Hello, I'm Wu." However, Wang did not give me a friendly response, she did not smile, and she did not even answer my greetings. She looked at me coldly, as if she wasn't happy with me.
I felt a little embarrassed, but I still tried to start a conversation with Wang. I asked, "Miss Wang, what do you think about the blind date?" She pursed her lips arrogantly and replied indifferently: "Men are all the same, and they dislike women at every turn." This answer made me very frustrated, how could I dislike a woman? And, I feel like she seems to have an opinion about my age as well.
We sat down and continued talking, but the atmosphere grew more and more awkward. I tried to ask her some questions about family life, such as being unmarried and not having children, but she didn't take any interest in me. Her brow furrowed, her gaze wandering, as if she didn't care about my question.
I felt humiliated and prepared to say goodbye to her. But the moment I turned to leave, an unexpected event happened. Wang's mobile phone rang suddenly, she hurriedly took out her mobile phone, and when she saw the caller ID, her eyes instantly became solemn.
"It's my mom." Wang said in a low voice. She picked up the phone and listened to the voice on the other end of the phone, her face gradually turning pale. I looked at her expression and it seemed as if something was happening. After Wang hung up the phone, his eyes were already full of tears.
I asked, somewhat distressedly, "What happened?" Is your mom sick? Wang nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, my mother fell at home, and I have to go back to take care of her immediately." "When I heard the news, I felt a glimmer of sympathy. I told her, "Go and take care of your mother, and I'll help you with everything you need to get along with your parents." ”
Wang raised his head, and a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes. She said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wu. I need time to deal with this family's problems and have no way to think about anything else for the time being. I nodded, wishing her mom a speedy recovery.
I looked at Wang's departing back, but my heart was full of concern and longing for her. Although we were only meeting for the first time, this unexpected event gave me a special affection for her. Perhaps, this is where my fate lies with her.
While I was thinking about these things, my phone suddenly vibrate. I saw an unfamiliar number on my phone screen, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation. Did Wang call?
Seeing Wang's back after leaving, I felt an indescribable regret. When we first met, I almost gave up pursuing her because of Wang's dissatisfaction with me. However, this unexpected event made me more concerned and concerned about her.
I decided to call Wang and ask about her mother. After the phone was connected, I asked with concern, "Miss Wang, how is your mother's injury?" There was a hint of choking in Wang's voice: "Her fracture needs to be hospitalized, and I plan to go home to accompany her for a while." ”
My heart tightened for a while, thinking that the indifferent and arrogant woman just now still had such filial piety to her mother, I was deeply moved by Wang.
I said firmly, "Miss Wang, I am also willing to go back with you and take care of your mother." "I don't know why I'm saying that, maybe it's because I feel like I'm in the middle of it.
Wang was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Wu." Hearing this, my heart was instantly filled with endless joy.
We returned to Wang's hometown together. Wang's mother lay quietly in the hospital room with a pained expression on her face. I comforted her in a gentle tone: "Auntie, you must have a good rest, we will take care of you." ”
Wang's mother nodded slightly, she looked at the backs of the two of us and seemed to smile with satisfaction. Wang looked at her mother's expression, her eyes showed tenderness and gratitude, she turned her head and looked at me, and there was a different feeling in her eyes.
In the days of taking care of Wang's mother, Wang and I gradually narrowed the distance between each other. We have gone through the difficult period of my mother's recovery together, and we have also shared the warmth of family and the importance of family affection.
Just as we were getting better, a letter came and broke everything. The letter was written to her by Wang's sister, and I was shocked by the contents. It turned out that Wang's sister had run away from home because of family conflicts and took Wang's son with her.
An unspeakable wave of anger and pain welled up in my heart. I can't understand why someone would be so indifferent and hurtful to their own family? I was sure that I had to stand by Wang's side and help her regain her loved ones.
Although the blind date between Wang and me was not as expected, I always remembered her. A few days later, I received a text message from her in which she thanked me for my understanding and care for her and told me that her mom had recovered.
I felt a pang of joy and wished I could see her again. So, I offered to meet her, hoping to get to know her again. She gladly accepted my invitation.
We chose a quiet café to meet, hoping to use this as an opportunity to get to know each other better. Wang arrived early, and when I approached, she smiled and waved at me. Once we sat down, we started talking about each other's families and lives.
Just when I thought we could get along, suddenly, Wang's brows tightened again. She received a phone call, and someone seemed to be crying on the other end of the phone, and Wang became anxious. She told me that it was her brother who had been involved in the car accident and that the doctor said it was serious.
I felt heartache and helplessness, and I wanted to do my best to comfort her and give her a little strength. However, she became disgusted by my care and comfort for her, and she said angrily, "What can you do? You don't know my brother, you can't help me at all! "I was stabbed by her words, and I wanted to understand her anger, but felt a deep frustration inside.
I knew that she needed the company of her family very much at this time, so I comforted her and suggested that she go home to take care of her brother, and I would do my best to help.
I silently took her to the hospital and waited silently until she called again and told me that her brother was fine. I felt a sense of relief, and at the same time a deeper understanding of her inner world.
