The corner of fate
My name is Zhang Wei, I come from an ordinary working family, my parents are down-to-earth and hard-working workers, and they have built a warm home for me with their hard-working hands. Since I was a child, I have been instilled with the notion of "trying to change my destiny". After graduating, I chose to stay in the city and work hard as an IT project manager.
As the years went by, my parents began to worry about my marriage. In their eyes, I was already old enough to start a family. At their urging, I participated in many blind date events, but each time I ended in disappointment. Those blind dates were either incompatible or lacked common topics, which made me gradually lose confidence in blind dates.
It wasn't until that weekend afternoon, when the sun was shining through the clouds that I was invited to an outdoor blind date organized by a friend. Originally, I didn't have much hope, but when I walked into the event, a figure caught my eye.
Her name is Lin Ya, she is tall and elegant, wearing a light blue dress, like a blooming summer flower. Her presence rippled in my otherwise peaceful heart. I plucked up my courage and walked up to her and tried to talk to her.
"Hello, I'm Zhang Wei, it's nice to meet you." I smiled and held out my hand to her.
Lin Ya raised her head, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then shook my hand politely. "Hello, I'm Lin Ya." Her voice was crisp and melodious, like the sound of heaven.
We sat down in a quiet corner and started talking. I found that Lin Ya is not only outstanding on the outside, but also rich on the inside. She loves to travel, photography, and philanthropic causes. We talked very speculatively, as if there was an endless topic to talk about.
However, just as I was immersed in this pleasant conversation, Lin Ya suddenly changed her words and asked, "Zhang Wei, do you think there is a big gap between us?" ”
I was stunned, wondering why she would suddenly ask such a question. I tried to find the answer in her expression, but the look in her eyes kept me elusive. I cautiously replied, "I think we have a lot in common, so why do we feel like there is a gap?" ”
Lin Ya sighed and said, "Maybe it's my delusion." I always felt that we came from different worlds, and our lifestyles and values were very different. ”
I was stunned, I didn't expect her to have such thoughts. I tried to explain, telling her that we are all ordinary people and that we all have the right to pursue happiness and dreams. But Lin Ya didn't seem to be moved, she said lightly: "Maybe you're right, but I still think we're not suitable." ”
My heart sank to the bottom, I didn't expect this blind date to end in such a way. I tried to redeem it, but Lin Ya had already stood up and was ready to leave. I shook my head helplessly, looking at her distant back, my heart full of loss and helplessness.
In the days that followed, I tried to put this blind date experience behind me, but Lin Ya's figure always lingered in my mind. I started to ask myself, was I not good enough at something? Am I really not worthy of love?
However, just when I was about to give up, an unexpected phone call shattered my peace. Lin Ya's voice came from the other end of the phone, and she asked me to meet, saying that she wanted to talk again.
I rushed to the agreed place excitedly, only to see that Lin Ya was already waiting for me there. She looked at me with a complicated glint in her eyes. She told me that when she went back, she thought about it and felt that there wasn't really that big of a gap between us. The reason why she thinks like that is because she has been hurt and has some distrust of feelings. But my sincerity and persistence gave her hope, and she decided to give me another chance.
I listened to her and was thrilled. I told her that I would use all my sincerity and hard work to cherish this opportunity and not let her be hurt in any way.
Since then, we've started dating frequently. We watched movies, went shopping, traveled, and had many great times together. We understand each other, support each other, and grow up in each other's company.
However, life is always full of unknowns and uncertainties. In the process of getting along, we also encountered many difficulties and challenges. But it is these difficulties that make us cherish each other's feelings more and strengthen our determination to be together.
In the end, we overcame all the difficulties and came together. With the blessings of our relatives and friends, we entered the palace of marriage and started our new life.
Looking back now, I really appreciate that outdoor blind date. If it weren't for it, I might never have met a good girl like Lin Ya. At the same time, I also understand a truth: love is not something that can be obtained by luck, but requires us to find, cherish, and manage with our hearts. Only in this way can we reap our own happiness.
