My name is Chen Xiao. I'm 31 years old, a simple, independent woman in a big city. I work as a designer in a design company and love the freedom of creativity at work, but I'm an introvert in life. As for love, it has become a luxury in my life.
My boyfriend and I broke up two years ago, and since then I've been like an island, isolated from the world. This unforgettable love broke me down. Even after two years, I still haven't completely gotten out of the relationship.
That's when he appears, and he's a guest of Tom, the building's neighbor. Tom is originally from Africa and owns a small shop. Her warmth and sunny smile put me at ease. He is always smiling, both to strangers and to life.
At first we just said hello and slowly started talking. He loves music, basketball and shares his life. His joy shone on me like sunshine and reconnected me with the world.
One time I was sick at home and couldn't get out of bed. When she found out, she came to my house, cooked me chicken soup, and took care of me until I got better. During that time, I felt a lasting warmth, a kind of care, a kind of care, a kind of touch.
With him, I gradually came out of the shadows of the past and began to try to accept new opportunities in life, to love and be loved. I felt the happiness, warmth, and feeling of being taken care of as a woman again.
I understand that there will always be shadows and pains in life, but as long as you have courage and hope, you will definitely find your own sunshine and happiness. I also saw my sun and my Tom.
My story continues, and I hope that my experience can bring light to those who are still struggling in the shadows, and let them know that as long as they continue to face it with courage and hard work, there will still be our sunshine. Especially waiting for us.
This is me, Chen Xiao, a woman who relives the happiness of being a woman under the care of her neighbor's uncle. I want to use my story to show everyone that there is no eternal pain in the world, as long as you are ready to come out, there will always be someone waiting to give you warmth.
Tom was like a lamp that illuminated my dark world. I saw in him the zest of life, the diversity of the world, and myself. He made me understand that happiness is not given by others, but chosen by oneself.
When I found myself and happiness again, Tom was there for me. His tolerance and understanding made me feel safer than ever. I could open my heart to him and confide in him all my weaknesses and imperfections, but he still guarded me like a mountain. Over time, I discovered that I really loved this man. Her gentleness, her tolerance, her strength, her smile...... Everything touched my heart. I longed to share the whole of my life with him, and I can't wait to walk with him through every sunrise and sunset.
Now, I am no longer the woman who hurts, but a woman who is full of hope and confidence. I know that I can face all the difficulties in life if I want to. Because I know that there is someone waiting for me quietly at all times and places, and that person is Tom.
This is my story, a story of re-experiencing the happiness of being a woman under the care of my neighbor's uncle. I hope it will encourage more people to boldly pursue their own happiness and boldly accept different people and things, because you never know that your happiness may be in the next second.
