I sat in the yard, closed my eyes, and remembered that unforgettable summer ten years ago. At that time, I had just returned from studying abroad and wanted to develop my career at home. No one expected that a chance encounter would make my life trajectory take a 180-degree turn.
"Nothing, just remembering the summer we met. I took the teacup from her hand and took a deep breath.
"Oh, you'll have to tell me the story, I've almost forgotten how we met. Emily said with a smile, and that lovely and innocent smile made my heart fall into her heart again.
Emily had just come to China from the United States as an exchange student, and she was curious and enthusiastic about everything here. With dazzling blonde hair shining in the sun, she has a lovely and innocent face, and her bright eyes sparkle with a desire for life. I was so attracted to her that I had only one thought: I had to know her.
So I mustered up the courage and went up to talk to me. "Hello, my name is Wang Zheng and I am a graduate of this university. I see you here and wonder if you need help?"
Emily was a little surprised, but quickly regained her composure. "Hello, my name is Emily, I'm an exchange student, and I'm not familiar with this place yet. She replied in fluent Chinese. I found that she was not only sweet-looking, but also had a very beautiful voice.
We chatted and laughed, it turned out that she had come to China to learn Chinese and was fascinated by the culture and customs here.
We talked about our interests and found that there were a lot of similarities. Time passed quickly, and we reluctantly said goodbye. Before leaving, I plucked up the courage to ask for her contact information.
"Absolutely. Emily smiled and left the number on my phone, "See you next time." "
"Hey Emily, let's have dinner together this weekend? I know a nice Sichuan restaurant. "
"Okay, I like Sichuan food the most! Emily's text message came back quickly.
We chose a quaint Sichuan restaurant with a window seat and a great view. Emily wore a braided hair and a plain dress, which was very quiet and generous. We ate and chatted, and the topic extended from each other's hometowns to living habits, values, and other aspects.
Emily is a very knowledgeable girl with a unique mind and insight. She has a deep understanding and love for Chinese culture.
"To be honest, I admire the diligence and wisdom of the Chinese. Your culture is long and vibrant. Emily said.
"Yes, we have an old saying that 'the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade'. We should cherish the precious heritage left to us by our ancestors. I said seriously.
We found that although we lived in different countries, there was an amazing resonance in our hearts. We talked and laughed as if we had been friends for a long, long time. When we parted, I plucked up the courage to invite her to make another appointment, and she smiled and said, "Of course, we still have a lot to talk about." "
When I got home, I lay in bed with Emily's shadow in my head. I remembered the attentive look on her face, the sparkle of her eyes in the dim light, the row of white teeth she bared as she bit a straw and drank a Coke. My heart jumped with excitement, as if a fawn was dancing in it. I told myself, this is love, this is a wonderful feeling, it makes people's hearts move.
Since then, we've been more and more frequent, occasionally meeting up for a walk around campus or a café for a chat. We gradually became more and more talkative, knowing each other and knowing each other.
At one point, we sat side by side on a bench in the playground and watched the sun set.
"Emily, what do you say is your biggest dream?" I asked softly.
"My dream is to be able to integrate Chinese and Western cultures and influence the world in my own way. Emily said with a firm look in her eyes, "I want more people to understand China's traditional wisdom, and also let China better integrate into the international community." "
"That's an amazing ideal. "My ideal is to make a difference in my career and contribute to the development of the country." "
We encourage and support each other, as if we are destined to fight side by side and create a better future together.
After graduating from university, I got my wish to work for a well-known company with a decent salary. Emily, on the other hand, chose to continue her studies and enrolled in one of China's top master's degrees in translation. Although the trajectories of our lives are different, our feelings are getting deeper.
One day, I suddenly made up my mind that I proposed. First of all, I secretly inquired about Emily's measurements, secretly measured the size of her hand, and then began to delve into the knowledge of buying diamond rings on the Internet. I also called my friends and asked for some advice and advice on the proposal.
"Dude, you've been together for so long, Emily is a good girl, you just let it go!" My friends encouraged me.
When everything was ready, I secretly rejoiced, and when the opportunity was ripe, I proposed to her.
A week later, on the weekend, I invited Emily to dinner at a lakeside building outside the city. It's a secluded location, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, perfect for this romantic occasion. We had a drink by the lake and enjoyed the sparkling scenery on the lake.
At that moment, I took a deep breath, pulled a small velvet box out of my pocket, and knelt down on one knee in front of Emily.
"Emily, we've known each other for over three years now. In the past three years, you have touched me with your innocence and kindness, attracted me with your wise and unique insights, and charmed me with your beautiful and moving appearance. You are the most precious gift from Heaven and the greatest luck in my life. I am willing to spend the rest of my life to love, care for you, and take care of you. Will you marry me?"
Emily's eyes widened, tears rolling in her eyes. She nodded excitedly and let me put the diamond ring on her. I stood up and hugged her deeply.
Although the proposal was successful, the following days did not go so smoothly. When I broke the news to my parents, their reaction was beyond my expectations.
"Are you crazy?marry a foreigner?!" Mother's eyes widened, and her face was full of anger, "The cultural background of the two of you is too different, and it will only be very difficult in the future!"
"That is, you don't understand the language and have different living habits, how will you get along in the future? What if she doesn't adapt to life in China and gets divorced?" My father chimed in.
I tried to explain to them that Emily had a deep understanding and love for Chinese culture, but they just wouldn't listen. In the end, my mother gave an ultimatum: "Either give up this family business, or cut off relations with us from now on!"
I was helpless, and my bright future was about to be shattered. When Emily found out, she reached out to my parents in the hope of changing their minds.
"Uncle, aunt, I understand your concerns. Emily said sincerely, "I am from the United States, and the Chinese culture is very different, but I have an immense love and affection for Chinese culture. Since I was a child, I have been fascinated by Chinese philosophy and literature, and I have long wanted to experience it for myself. "
"Living in China in the past few years has made me fall in love with this land even more. I learned Chinese, learned about Chinese customs, and tried my best to integrate into local life. Although I sometimes feel helpless, Wang Zheng is always by my side to encourage and support me. We have mutual understanding and tolerance. "
"I know that international marriages do face some challenges, but as long as we work hard, we can be happy. I have decided that I will marry Wang Zheng no matter what, and face all the challenges in the future with him. "
Emily's sincere words touched my parents, and their attitudes began to change.
After a lot of hard work, we finally gained the recognition and blessing of our family. My parents also organized a grand wedding for us and invited relatives and friends to watch the ceremony.
On the day of the wedding, Emily wore a white lace dress, and her graceful figure shone in the sun. She was dressed up for over an hour, eager to impress me. And I also wear a suit and leather shoes, and my hairstyle is meticulous, trying to create a handsome image.
In the presence of the pastor and family, we solemnly exchanged rings and made a vow of eternal life. When I kissed Emily, the audience erupted in applause and cheers. My friends came forward to congratulate her, and my mother burst into tears and praised Emily.
"Thank you, daughter, may you grow old together and love forever!" Mom said and gave Emily a warm hug.
The days after marriage were enjoyable. Emily quickly settled into our family and got along well with her parents. She is considerate, always takes the initiative to share the housework, and often cooks some delicious Western food for her family. I am dedicated to my career in the hope of providing a stable financial foundation for my new family.
Although sometimes there are small differences due to cultural differences, we always resolve them with tolerance and understanding. Not only did Emily learn a lot about Chinese traditions, but I also began to learn about the Western way of life. We have grown in mutual understanding and our relationship has grown.
Once, while we were watching TV in the living room, Emily suddenly leaned over and grabbed my arm affectionately.
"Honey, when do you think we're going to have a baby?" She asked with a smile.
I was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I think now is a good time." "
"Great, I can't wait to be a mom!" Emily jumped up for joy and kissed me on the cheek.
After Emily offered to have a baby, we started preparing for it. The first thing is to prepare for pregnancy and create a good environment for the future little life.
We start to recuperate, exercise more, rest more, and eat nutritious foods. At the same time, I also looked up a lot of knowledge about preparing for pregnancy on the Internet, and learned that you should choose to have sex during ovulation and maintain a good attitude.
"Honey, let's go buy some folic acid today, it's very helpful to prepare for pregnancy. "I said to Emily one day.
"Great idea! I can't wait to have a baby. Emily replied happily.
So we went to the pharmacy arm in arm and bought a lot of nutritional supplements, ready to prepare for the next step of pregnancy.
"Honey, I'm pregnant! We're going to be mom and dad!" She said to me happily.
I was immediately shocked by the deafening news, and immediately burst into tears of emotion and hugged Emily tightly.
"Great, my darling, we finally have a child of our own! I cried tears of joy and kissed her on the cheek.
Pregnant Emily is like a round little angel with an incomparable brilliance. She often touched her lower abdomen, which was gradually bulging, and her eyes were full of anticipation and joy. And I take care of her all the time, for fear that she will be hurt a little bit.
Nine months passed quickly, and Emily's belly was already holding up her clothes so big that she could go into labor at any time. One morning, she was in excruciating pain, and I quickly called an ambulance to take her to the hospital for delivery.
Just then, a nurse walked out with a relieved smile on her face: "Congratulations, you're a healthy little boy!"
I was so excited that I almost jumped up, and I ran into the delivery room, only to see Emily holding a pink baby, smiling weakly but happily.
"My dear, our son is so beautiful. She whispered, her eyes full of love.
I stepped forward and carefully picked up the child. He wrinkled his little face and slept peacefully, as pure and unblemished as an angel. I lowered my head and imprinted a kiss on his smooth forehead.
"My precious son, Daddy will always protect you and bless you to grow up healthy and happy. "
Since then, our lives have added a new member, and our home is filled with unprecedented warmth and joy. Every night, I would sit on the couch with my baby in my arms, humming a little song, and waiting for Emily to cook. Emily, on the other hand, is a virtuous wife and mother, who keeps the house in good order and always loves her children with love.
Sometimes I sit down and quietly reflect on the whole process of our acquaintance, acquaintance, and love. Those sweet memories are like shining pictures, forever fixed in my mind.
I know that all of this originated from that midsummer encounter. If I hadn't mustered up the courage to strike up an accosting Emily, we might never have met. And now, we have formed a small family full of love and live a happy and fulfilling life.
