On this day, my parents arranged a blind date for me again. I was mentally prepared in advance, and despite the resistance in my heart, I still went hard.
When I walked into the blind date café, a polite man smiled at me and said hello, you must be Xiaoli, I'm Zhang Ming. Yes, hello, I'm Xiaoli. I responded politely, but I was a little nervous.
We ate and chatted and found out that there was still a common language. Zhang Ming was very interesting, and we talked about our respective jobs and hobbies. Your work sounds interesting, and I've always been interested in this field. Zhang Ming said. Yes, I enjoy my job and although it can be hectic at times, I feel a sense of accomplishment. I said with a smile.
I paused, hesitantly saying this, I have indeed been thinking about this for a long time. I hope to find a like-minded partner in the future and build a warm family together. But I also understand that this requires a high degree of alignment of values and lifestyles on both sides.
Zhang Ming nodded, I totally understand. In fact, I was also looking for someone to spend the rest of my life with. My job is relatively stable, and my family conditions are good, I believe I can give you a stable life.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but frown. Although Zhang Ming's conditions seem good, I always feel that what he says makes people feel stiff and rigid. I hesitated for a moment and said cautiously I understand your thoughts, but I feel that marriage is not just about material conditions. I hope to find someone who can truly understand and appreciate me, and our values and lifestyles must be highly compatible in order to build a happy family.
I took a deep breath and patiently explained that I understand your thoughts, but I feel like marriage is much more than that. I hope to find someone who truly appreciates me, and we need to agree on our values and lifestyle in order to truly build a happy family. But shouldn't you go along with your parents' wishes? They certainly want you to marry someone who is in a privileged position. Zhang Ming said with some persistence.
When I heard this, my heart suddenly became heavy. I know that my parents have been thinking about me and hoping that I can find a stable partner. But I also understood that I had to stick to my ideas and find someone who would really make me happy.
I was silent for a moment, and finally solemnly said that I understood my parents' concerns, but I also had to stick to my choice. I believe that only by finding someone who truly appreciates me and who is highly compatible with my values can we build a happy family.
When I got home, I sat alone on the couch, and my mind kept replaying today's blind date process. I began to question myself, should I really be too picky, should I compromise and reluctantly accept this seemingly good object in front of me? Maybe I should really listen to my parents and choose someone with good family conditions. After all, I'm almost thirty, and if I continue like this, I'll be more and more lonely. I said to myself.
Just when I was immersed in my inner struggle, my friend Xiaohong called and cared about my current situation. Hey, Xiaoli, what's wrong with you? I don't seem to be happy to hear your voice. Xiaohong asked softly.
I told her about today's blind date experience, and Xiaohong listened quietly, occasionally sighing. Xiaoli, I can understand your troubles. This kind of social pressure and family expectations can really make people feel helpless. However, you can't give up on your pursuit. However, I am almost thirty years old, and if I continue like this, I will become more and more lonely. Maybe I should listen to my parents and choose someone with good conditions. I said helplessly.
Xiaohong pondered for a moment Xiaoli, I know you are very confused now, but I think you should stick to your own ideas. Marriage is not just a contract, but a life choice for two people. If you reluctantly accept someone who is not the right person, I am afraid that you will have a miserable life in the future. However, my parents kept pushing me. They wanted me to find someone with a good family. I said helplessly. I understand the feelings of parents, but you also have to stick to your own ideas. Only you know what kind of person can truly make you happy. Believe in yourself and believe that there is always a happiness waiting for you. Xiaohong said mildly.
After listening to Xiaohong's words, my heart gradually calmed down. Yes, I can't give up on my quest easily, just because of the pressure around me. I have to believe in myself, stick to my own standards, and wait for someone who can really make my heart tick. Thank you, Red. You can always give me strength. I'll think about it and won't compromise easily. I said gratefully. That's good, Lily. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will always have your back. Xiaohong said warmly.
With Xiaohong's support, I gradually adjusted my mentality and regained my expectations for the future. I decided to stop blindly catering to my parents' demands, but to stick to my own standards and wait for someone who would really make my heart flutter.
A few months later, at a friend's birthday party, I accidentally met a man named Li Kit. We quickly chatted and found out that we had many hobbies in common, talked and laughed, and had a great evening. Wow, I didn't expect you to like this band too! I've always loved their music. Li Jie said excitedly. yes, their songs are amazing, and I've been following them all the time. Are you also a fan of them, I asked pleasantly. Of course, I have a collection of each of their albums. It's such a coincidence that we share so many hobbies. Li Jie said with a smile.
We talked more and more speculatively, and we felt like we both had a good feeling for each other. After the party, Li Jie took the initiative to ask me out for dinner. I gladly accepted the invitation, and the two of us had a very speculative conversation, and both developed a crush on each other.
After that, we often saw each other in our spare time and slowly walked into each other's lives. I found that I really liked Li Jie, he was empathetic, gentle and considerate, and he was very much in line with my values. Our relationship grew deeper and deeper, and we finally made our relationship officially established a month ago.
Just when our relationship was in full swing, my parents suddenly took a negative attitude. Xiaoli, you've been busy meeting that Li Jie lately, and we're worried that your relationship is developing too quickly. Father said solemnly. Dad, you don't know Li Jie, he is a very good person. Our values and lifestyles are very compatible, and I really like him. I explained sincerely. However, Li Jie's family conditions are not superior, and we are worried that if you marry him, life will be difficult in the future. Mother said worriedly. Mom, I know your worries, but I really like Li Jie. Even if life is a little difficult, as long as we love each other, we will definitely get through it together. I said pleadingly.
My parents couldn't accept it, and they even threatened that if I insisted on being with Li Jie, they would no longer recognize me as a daughter. I was in a predicament like never before, and my heart was full of struggles.
Eventually, with strong opposition from my parents, I had to ask for a temporary breakup. Li Jie understood my situation very well, and although he was very sad, he still respected my decision. We agreed to wait for our parents' opposition to subside before continuing our relationship.
In the days that followed, my heart was tormented. Feeling helpless and frustrated by my parents' opposition, I began to question whether I had made the right choice. I also realized that in modern society, the issue of marriage and love has gone far beyond the free choice of individuals, and the pressure of family and society has become a factor that cannot be ignored.
I thought about it repeatedly, whether I should listen to my parents' advice and choose a person with a superior family background who can reassure my parents, or stick to my heart and continue to walk with Li Jie. I understand that no matter which choice I make, it will bring varying degrees of cost and pain to my future.
During these torturous days, I was often immersed in inner struggles. I love Li Jie, but I am afraid to go against my parents' wishes. I know that if I choose to be with Li Jie, I may disappoint my parents and even be disapproved of by them. But if I give up Li Jie, I will lose the most sincere desire in my heart.
I communicated with Li Jie privately many times, hoping to convince him to understand my situation. I know you're in a tough situation right now, but we've come this far and I really hope to keep going with you. Li Jie gently shook my hand and said. I also wish, but you know that the opposition of my parents makes me feel very helpless. I said helplessly. Xiaoli, I understand your situation. My relationship is genuine, but I also understand that the most important thing is to be recognized by my family. Li Jie said seriously. Are you willing to wait for me, wait for me to convince my parents to accept our relationship? I asked eagerly. I will always wait for you, no matter how long it takes. Li Jie said firmly.
Hearing Li Jie's promise, my eyes couldn't help but moisten. How I wished I could be with him right away, but the realities of the predicament prevented me from making a decision. I can only pray that my parents will understand and accept Jeffrey.
During these difficult days, I often asked my friend Xiaohong for advice. Xiaohong, I really don't know what to do anymore. My parents refused to accept Li Jie, and I didn't want to disappoint them. However, I really like Li Jie. I said in a choked voice. Xiaoli, I can understand your pain. However, I feel like you have to stick to your choices. Even if it seems difficult right now, as long as you truly love each other, there will be a way. Xiaohong said softly. However, if I persist, my parents may not recognize me as a daughter. I said helplessly. Then make them angry. As long as the two of you truly love each other, they will eventually understand and accept it. Believe in yourself and believe in your love. Xiaohong said firmly.
With Xiaohong's encouragement, my heart gradually calmed down. Yes, I can't give up my happiness just because I'm afraid of offending my parents. I want to believe in myself, believe in Li Jie, and believe that our love will eventually overcome everything.
So, I took the initiative to communicate with my parents again and tried to convince them to accept Li Jie. Mom and Dad, I know you're worried, but trust me. Lee Kit is a great person and our values and lifestyles are very compatible. Even if the current economic conditions are not too good, as long as we love each other, we will definitely work together to build a happy family. I say this sincerely.
The parents were still frowning. Xiaoli, you are so naïve. Marriage is not only about feelings, but also about material foundations. Li Jie's family conditions are so ordinary, we really can't let go of our worries. Mother said stubbornly. However, I really love Li Jie. If you don't accept it, I can't give it up. I said pleadingly.
My parents fell silent, and they were clearly still weighing my words. I know it's not going to be easy for them. But my heart longs for their understanding and support. Finally, my father spoke slowly. Well, since you're so insistent, we can't force you. But you have to make sure that your life is stable and that you don't worry about us. Father said with a sigh.
When I heard my father's words, I burst into tears. Thank you, I will manage our life well and I will not let you down. I hugged my parents tightly, and my heart was filled with gratitude.
Finally, after a painful struggle, I made my choice. I decided to stick to my heart and move on with Lee, even if it might disappoint my parents. I believe that only by following the call of the heart can we find happiness that truly belongs to us.
After my parents reluctantly agreed, Li Kit and I re-established our relationship. We all deeply feel that this relationship is not easy to come by, and it needs to be cherished.
We often go out together, and in the process, we get to know and appreciate each other better. I have always admired your love of life, and you can always find your own fun outside of work. I say it from the bottom of my heart. Xiaoli, I also appreciate your dedication and pursuit of your career. We have differences in some ways, but it is this difference that makes us more complementary. Li Jie responded gently.
In getting along, we found more in common. We all love the outdoors and explore new things. Sometimes we go hiking together and relax in nature. The scenery is really beautiful today, let's take another group photo, I said excitedly. Okay, let's watch the sunset at the top of the mountain later. Li Jie said with a smile.
In the process of getting along, the relationship between me and Li Jie has become deeper and deeper. We will share the bits and pieces of our lives with each other, and pour out our inner troubles and joys to each other. Sometimes, I would confide in Lee Kit about my parents' concerns about our relationship. I know you've struggled, but trust us to get through it. Li Jie said warmly as he shook my hand. I believe in you, and I believe in our love. I will always support you. I said gratefully.
With the company and support of Li Jie, my heart gradually calmed down. I have come to believe that as long as we cherish each other, we can create a happy future together.
Just as our relationship became more and more stable, our parents gradually accepted our relationship. Xiaoli, we have seen that you and Li Jie have been together during this time, and we think that he is indeed a good candidate. We will do our best to support you. Father said sincerely. Mom and Dad, thank you for your understanding and support. I really appreciate it. I said excitedly.
With the support of my parents, my relationship with Li Kit has become stronger. We started planning our future together, discussing getting married and buying a house. Xiaoli, when do you think it is more appropriate for us to get married? Li Jie asked gently. I'd like to wait until our business is more stable. We need to be well prepared for the future. I replied seriously. Okay, then let's take our time and take it one step at a time. Li Jie said with a smile.
In the process of preparing for the wedding, we also often discuss with our parents. Mom and Dad, do you have any ideas, and we'll do our best to accommodate your requests. I humbly say it. Child, we will take your opinions into account. The most important thing is for the two of you to be happy. Mother said mildly.
In the end, with the blessing of my parents, Li Jie and I successfully completed the wedding. This is a moment of happiness that we have finally ushered in after many trials. We hugged and danced, feeling the warmth and attachment of each other. I silently made a promise in my heart: no matter how many difficulties there are in the future, I will work hand in hand with Li Jie for our bright future.
Life after marriage is not all smooth sailing. We are also constantly faced with challenges and difficulties. Sometimes, I get depressed because of the stress of my job. My dear, I know you've been tired from work lately, but please don't give up hope. As long as we support each other, we will be able to get through this. Li Jie comforted me gently. Thank you, Jay Lee. With you by my side, I feel incredibly warm and safe. I hugged him tightly.
