Ye Tong and I grew up together, and we were inseparable from childhood to adulthood. We are like a pair of close brothers and sisters, trusting each other and taking care of each other. My family was not wealthy, and the cost of going to college put me under pressure. Just when I was anxious, Ye Tong offered to help me work and earn money so that I could successfully complete my studies.
"Xiao Ming, stop worrying about tuition. I will help you earn money and let you go to school with peace of mind. "Ye Tong cares about me as always.
"However, you have to go to work every day after school and come back to do housework, and I am really worried that you will be tired. I couldn't help but frown.
"It's okay, I'm healthy. If you study hard, you will definitely have success in the future, and it is worth it. Ye Tong smiled and comforted me.
College life began quickly. I often can't help but sigh that without Ye Tong's help, I am afraid that I would not have been able to enter the university campus at all. We live in a small rented house outside of school, and every day she is busy with work and I am busy with classes and homework.
"You're working overtime again today? You look so tired. I asked with concern.
"Well, I just got back from the supermarket. But it doesn't matter, as long as you can study smoothly, I feel very gratified. Ye Tong smiled tiredly.
"Do you want me to cook? "I quickly got up and prepared to make dinner.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you. It's great that you're here to help me. Ye Tong said gratefully.
We get along well, like brothers and sisters. Sometimes, when I see Ye Tong's tired appearance, I will take the initiative to help her with housework, even if it is just a simple wipe of the table.
"You've worked so hard today, go and rest, I'll clean up. I said softly.
"Thank you, Xiao Ming. It's great to have you here, and I really appreciate you. Ye Tong held my hand, his eyes full of gratitude.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the four years of college have passed quietly. We worked hard together and we both graduated. I got a good job and earned enough to make ends meet. I couldn't wait to tell Ye Tong the good news, but found that her contact information was no longer available. I inquired around and learned that she had left the city long before she graduated, and she had not been heard from since.
I felt a huge sense of loss in my heart, wondering why she had suddenly disappeared or how she was doing. I live alone in this strange city, and I always miss Ye Tong in my heart.
A few years have passed in a hurry, and although I have achieved success in my career, I always feel that something is missing in my life. Until one day, I met Ye Tong on the street. Her appearance has changed a lot, there are more traces of vicissitudes on her face, and her eyes have become dull.
"Ye Tong, is that you?" I shouted in surprise.
She looked at me with a look of confusion in her eyes. "Xiao Ming, is that you?"
"It's me, it's me!" I excitedly stepped forward and shook her hand, "Why are you here? We haven't been in touch for years. "
Ye Tong lowered his eyes and muttered, "I'm sorry, I really don't have the courage to see you again." "
Hearing Ye Tong's words, I instantly understood everything. It turned out that she left because she felt ashamed and helpless about her situation. During the college years we spent together, she has been working silently, exchanging her hard work for me to be able to successfully complete my studies. But after graduating, she couldn't find her dream job and her life was in trouble. She didn't want me to see what she was like now, so she chose to hide it.
I hugged her tightly and said, "Ye Tong, no matter what your current situation is, I will always support you and never abandon you." "
Ye Tong burst into tears and whispered, "Xiao Ming, I'm really sorry. I was so inferior that I didn't want you to see me like this. I was afraid that you would think I was a failure, so I chose to run away. "
"It's okay, I understand your thoughts. You don't need to be sorry for that, I will always be your dearest friend. I gently stroked her face with my hand.
We found a quiet café to sit down and have a good chat. Ye Tong told me that after I successfully found a job, she also tried to find a suitable job opportunity, but repeatedly hit a wall. She felt that her abilities were limited and she could not do most jobs, so she had to choose to work odd jobs to make ends meet.
"I was really struggling and didn't know what to do. I didn't want you to worry, so I chose to stay away from you and struggle alone in this strange city. Ye Tong said in a choked voice.
I gently held her hand and said, "Ye Tong, I know that you have always been a proud girl, and you never want others to see your weakness. However, no matter how you are doing now, I will always be there for you and support you through the difficult times in front of you. "
"Xiao Ming, you are really good. I sincerely thank you for your continued support and understanding. Ye Tong's eyes flashed with tears of emotion.
We looked at each other and smiled, our eyes full of warmth. We decided to rent a small house again and live together. I will take care of Ye Tong wholeheartedly and let her regain hope in life.
I would encourage her to try what she loves and find her own career direction.
"Ye Tong, do you have any dreams, have you never had the opportunity to pursue them?" I asked with concern.
"Dreams, I don't really know what I want. Over the years, I've been on the run for survival and rarely had the opportunity to think about my future. Ye Tong sighed.
"Then it's time to think about it. Do you have any specialties or hobbies?" I encouraged her.
"I've always loved cooking. Since I was a child, I learned to cook from my grandmother, and I have a lot of experience in this. Ye Tong's eyes lit up.
"That's great! Why don't you try to open a small restaurant? I can help you with some of the start-up capital. I excitedly proposed.
"But I don't have any experience in opening a restaurant, so I'm afraid I'm going to fail. Ye Tong said hesitantly.
"It's okay, we can take our time. As long as you are determined, you will be able to succeed. I took her hand and said firmly.
Looking at the rekindled flame of hope in Ye Tong's eyes, I also felt extremely relieved in my heart. I know that the road will be long and there will be many obstacles. But as long as we support each other, we will be able to move towards a better future.
We started to get ready to start a business. I helped Ye Tong find a suitable venue and also secured a loan for her. The rest of the decoration and operation are all handled by her. Despite the arduous process, Ye Tong never gave up. She dedicates herself to her work every day, accumulating experience bit by bit.
Sometimes, when I see her tired, I take the initiative to help her with some of the work.
"You're too busy today, go get some rest, I'll clean up the restaurant." I said softly.
"Thank you, Xiao Ming. It's great to have you here, and I really appreciate your continued support. Ye Tong looked at me gratefully.
Day after day, finally, Ye Tong's small restaurant gradually became famous with everyone's support. There is an endless stream of customers, and business is becoming more and more prosperous. I watched her gradually transform from a confused and helpless girl to a confident and calm strong woman, and I felt extremely relieved in my heart.
"Xiao Ming, I really appreciate your help to me all the time. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today. One night, Ye Tong couldn't hide his excitement.
"It's satisfying to see you regain your passion for life. It's all the result of your own efforts, and I've only given some modest help. I laughed.
"What about you? Do you have a dream of your own? Let's work together to make it happen. "Ye Tong cares about me in turn.
I was silent for a moment and said, "My dream is to be by your side all the time and watch you realize your ideals step by step." "
Ye Tong's eyes flashed with tenderness, and she hugged me tightly, "Xiao Ming, you are really a precious friend." I will cherish you forever. "
I will always be by Ye Tong's side, and I will not hesitate to give whatever she needs. We depend on each other for our lives, and we will be in love with each other until we grow old together.
Time flies, and a few years have passed in the blink of an eye. The restaurant we ran together is now a well-known gastronomic landmark in the city, and business is thriving. And my relationship with Ye Tong is getting deeper and deeper, just like relatives.
One day, in the middle of the busy restaurant, Ye Tong suddenly said to me: "Xiao Ming, I have something I want to tell you." "
"What's wrong? I looked at her quizzically.
"Actually, I've always liked you. Not just as a friend, but as a man. Ye Tong blushed and said softly.
I froze, my heart pounding. It turns out that over the years, I have been hiding my feelings for her, and it turns out that she has always secretly liked me.
"Ye Tong, so am I. I never told you that it was for fear of ruining our friendship. I took her hand and said sincerely.
"And now, would you like to be with me?" Ye Tong looked at me with anticipation in his eyes.
"Of course, I do! I've always wanted to be with you. I hugged her excitedly.
Since then, our relationship has taken to a whole new level. We are no longer just close friends, but lovers who are attached to each other. We share the bits and pieces of life together, support and encourage each other. Sometimes, I would joke that if it wasn't for her help, I wouldn't have been able to finish my studies and I wouldn't be where I am today.
"Yes, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be where I am today. Ye Tong said with a smile.
"I've always been grateful to you, though. If it weren't for you, I might still be worrying about life right now. I said seriously.
"Fool, haven't we been helping each other all the time? Ye Tong reached out and gently poked my forehead.
We looked at each other and smiled, our eyes full of warmth and love. Over the years, we have gone through ups and downs together, but in the end we still hold hands to get to where we are today. Our feelings have become so integrated into each other's lives that they are inseparable.
Sometimes, when I look at Ye Tong's busy figure, I will feel a wave of regret in my heart. If I had been more proactive, wouldn't I have missed out on so many years of happiness?
"What's wrong, Xiao Ming? Ye Tong noticed my strangeness and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I'm just wondering if I had been braver and wouldn't have missed out on all those years. "I'm honest.
"Don't say that. Regardless of the past, the important thing is that we are together now. Ye Tong comforted me gently.
"You're right. We are the most important now. No matter what happens in the future, I will always be there for you. I held her hand tightly.
Another spring came, and we decided to get married. On this day, family and friends gather to bless our union. I looked at Ye Tong in a wedding dress, and my heart was full of happiness and gratitude.
"Xiao Ming, would you like to go down with me?" Ye Tong's eyes flashed with tears of happiness.
"I do, I want to be with you forever. I responded to her with the most sincere tone.
In the next road of life, Ye Tong and I will spend it hand in hand. No matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we will support each other and overcome them together. We will always cherish this hard-won feeling and create a better future for us together.
