My name is Li Ming, I am 28 years old, I am a white-collar worker, and I work for a large company in the city. Although my family is not wealthy, it is still passable. I work in other places, and every year I go home for Chinese New Year, reunite with my family, and experience the traditional flavor of the New Year.
During the Spring Festival last year, due to the impact of the epidemic, I found a girl named Xiaoyu through a "rent a girlfriend" platform a year ago to accompany me home for the New Year. I didn't rent my girlfriend because I was lonely, but I wanted to give my family an explanation and prevent them from urging me to go on a blind date.
Xiaoyu is a cheerful and lively girl, and she gets along very well with me. On the way home, we talked speculatively and shared each other's life experiences and feelings.
"Why do you want to rent your girlfriend home for the New Year?" Xiaoyu asked me curiously.
I smiled and said, "My parents have been urging me to go on a blind date, so I had to find a girl to deal with it." ”
Xiaoyu listened, smiled and patted me on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay, I'll accompany you for the New Year, and your parents won't urge you anymore." ”
At home, Xiaoyu behaves very generously and gets along well with her family. She helped with the housework and had a great chat with my parents, and I felt the joy and warmth of the family.
However, on the third day after we arrived at home, the government issued a notice on epidemic prevention and control, requiring all outsiders to quarantine and observe. We were placed at home in self-isolation and unable to go out.
During the quarantine period, Xiaoyu and I had many wonderful times together. We cooked, watched movies, and chatted together, as if we were a loving couple. I began to discover that Xiaoyu was not the "rented girlfriend" I imagined, but a kind and gentle girl, and her company made me feel the warmth of home.
After the quarantine ended, Xiaoyu and I did not become lovers, but the relationship between us became deeper. On the day she left, I couldn't hold back my tears, thanking her for giving me such warm companionship when I needed it most.
After Xiaoyu left, I returned to work in the city again, but my heart was full of thoughts and gratitude for her. Perhaps, this short experience will become the best memory of my life.
Thank you for your support!
