In a quiet town, Li Gang, a young man in his prime, is facing a thorny problem. Whenever he returned home, the expectant look in his parents' eyes always made him feel guilty. They hope that he will soon be able to start a family and lead a stable life. However, for Li Gang, finding a suitable partner is not an easy task.
In order to temporarily appease his parents' anxieties, Li Gang made a decision: rent a girlfriend to go home to temporarily meet his parents' expectations. So, he contacted a girl who was willing to play his girlfriend through the Internet, and the two parties agreed on a ten-day lease period, as well as a high rent per day.
Ten days passed in a flash, and Li Gang's parents were full of praise for this "girlfriend", and the girl seemed to enjoy this family warmth. However, when the lease expired and Li Gang was ready to end the scene, he found that things were not so simple.
The girl was reluctant to leave, she told Li Gang that she liked the family atmosphere here, liked Li Gang's parents, and she even began to fantasize about being a part of the family. She proposed to Li Gang to reduce the rent and continue to stay, but Li Gang firmly rejected her.
"I don't have the money to rent you anymore," Li Gang said helplessly, "Moreover, our relationship is only a transaction based on money, and there is no real emotional basis." ”
But the girl doesn't give up, and she tries to convince Li Gang to give her a chance to develop their relationship. "Can't you just give me a chance?" she pleaded, "we can try to cultivate a relationship, and maybe I can really be your girlfriend." ”
Li Gang fell into deep thought, he knew it was a tricky question. On the one hand, he didn't want to hurt the girl's feelings, and on the other hand, he didn't want the lie to continue. He felt like he was caught in a vortex from which he could not escape.
"I didn't know what to do," Li Gang sighed, "I just wanted to make my parents happy, but I didn't expect it to be like this." ”
This story is a wake-up call for us: in the pursuit of superficial perfection and meeting the expectations of our parents, should we also think about what true happiness is, whether it is an illusion built up with money and lies, or a long-term relationship based on real feelings?
Li Gang's predicament also reminds us that every choice in life can have unintended consequences. In the face of this situation, how should we choose: whether to continue with this lie, or to face the reality and find a real solution?
In the end, what path will Li Gang choose? Will he continue to entangle with this girl, or will he decisively end this farce? No matter what choice he makes, we all hope that he can find his own true happiness.
