It was a sunny day, and I was busy helping out in my family's small workshop, and the sound of hammers hitting iron was heard one after another. My father and the local matchmaker, Mrs. He, were sitting on a bench next to me, discussing my marriage.
I didn't like this traditional way of blind date, and I always felt a little outdated, but in my father's expectant eyes, I still agreed to participate.
The scheduled blind date location was at the most lively teahouse in town, and I changed into a clean and neat white shirt, and I was inevitably a little nervous. Sitting in the corner of the teahouse, I tried to make myself look less obtrusive.
Soon, a lady named Liu Mei appeared in front of me, her smile was bright and a little mischievous, and she seemed to have a different plan for this blind date. I took a deep breath and prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.
After Liu Mei sat down, we exchanged pleasantries politely. She didn't seem to be expecting much from this traditional blind date, but there was a sparkle of curiosity and challenge in her eyes.
The teahouse was filled with people and the aroma of jasmine tea, and my heart was full of uneasiness and curiosity. Soon, Liu Mei began her "little test".
First, she asked me to sing a song in public. Although I felt sudden, I tried my best to keep my composure and chose a simple ballad. My voice was slightly out of tune, but I tried to ease the tension by adding some humorous body language.
The audience was stunned for a moment, then burst into warm laughter. Next, Liu Mei came up with several idiom puzzles, each of which was more difficult to answer than the previous one.
I tried to think about it, and although there were idioms that I could only explain vaguely, I tried my best to express them in a light-hearted way, hoping to make up for my ignorance with humor. I could feel that Liu Mei was testing me, but I didn't know her true intentions.
As time passed, the atmosphere inside the teahouse gradually relaxed. Although I was embarrassed by a series of challenges facing Liu Mei, I tried not to let that affect my opinion of her.
I began to notice that every time I answered a question, Liu Mei's eyes would flash with a glint of approval, which surprised me a little.
After a bit of a challenge, our conversation finally became more natural and deep. We talked about our families, hobbies, and hopes for the future.
Liu Mei revealed to me that she actually has reservations about the traditional way of blind date, and her quiz is to get to know each other more realistically in a less formal environment. Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh because I also had the same opinion about this form of blind date.
As our conversation deepened, I began to realize that Liu Mei was not a simple challenger, but a smart, funny, and thoughtful woman. Although her approach confuses me at first, it also shows her independent and non-conformist character.
Our blind date proceeded in this unusual way, and although it started out with awkwardness and uncertainty, it gradually turned into a process of mutual understanding and appreciation.
We had a great conversation, and it wasn't until the lights in the teahouse began to dim and the noise around me faded that I realized it was getting late.
Liu Mei's eyes flashed, and I could feel that her opinion on this blind date had changed a lot. I suggested if we could continue our conversation at another time, and she smiled and nodded.
At that moment, I realized that this blind date might be the moment I walked out of the teahouse, and I felt that the burden in my heart seemed to be much lighter. Liu Mei's suggestion of "we should meet again" when they parted made me feel an unprecedented expectation.
Over the next few weeks, we met frequently, each time choosing a different location and activity, from a walk in the park to a visit to a museum, and each encounter allowed us to get to know each other better.
As our relationship deepened, I noticed that Liu Mei seemed to be hiding something from me. By chance, I stumbled upon an unsealed letter in her bag.
It said that she might need to go to another place to develop the opportunity, and it made me feel uneasy. That night, we sat on a bench by the river, and I decided to ask her openly and honestly. Liu Mei was a little hesitant to face my direct question, but in the end she confessed her plan.
There was a hint of helplessness in her voice: "I participated in a training program before and had the opportunity to go to Beijing to develop. I didn't tell you because I'm conflicted myself and don't know whether I should take this opportunity or stay here. ”
The news shocked me, but more than anything more about the reluctance to lose her. Our feelings are deep enough that any thought of separation is overwhelming.
I held her hand, and my voice was firm and sincere: "Liu Mei, I don't know where your dream will take you, but I hope to be able to go with you." Whether it's Beijing or anywhere, as long as you're there, it's my home. ”
After Liu Mei heard this, tears welled up in her eyes, and she shook my hand back tightly. Her voice was choked and full of gratitude: "I've been thinking about how I could be willing to leave you. I think we can face the future together, no matter how uncertain it may be. ”
At that moment, our hearts and minds touched each other deeply. All doubts and insecurities are dissolved, replaced by infinite hopes and anticipation for the future.
We sat on the benches by the river for a long time until night fell completely. Under the starry sky, our hearts are tightly connected, as if in this quiet night, we have foreseen our own bright future.
A few months later, our wedding took place in our hometown, and friends and loved ones came to witness the occasion. We chose a simple and welcoming ceremony, as we wished, without too many elaborate decorations, everything seemed so close to life, real and natural.
At the wedding, I made a promise to Liu Mei that no matter what challenges we face in the future, we will walk hand in hand. Our story begins with a challenging blind date, goes through misunderstandings and candid conversations, and finally comes together.
Our union is not only the union of two people, but also the combination of two attitudes towards life: one is the respect for tradition, and the other is the exploration and innovation of the future.
As the wedding ended, we looked at each other and smiled, our hearts full of expectations and dreams for the future. With everyone's blessings, we stepped into a common life and were ready to meet every tomorrow.
