Shared time with Xiaoying
My name is Lin Hao, I was born in an ordinary small town family, my parents are middle school teachers, their rigorous academic attitude and profound cultural heritage have shaped my calm and introverted character. After graduating from university, I came to this bustling metropolis with dreams and passions, hoping to find my own place here.
When I first arrived, the first thing I had to solve was accommodation. After some searching, I found an apartment in the heart of the city. The apartment is elegant, convenient, and what attracted me the most was that there was a spare room, and the landlord agreed that I would share a room with a girl named Xiaoying. I thought that sharing a room with girls might allow me to better understand their world and add some new colors to my life.
Xiaoying is a working woman who came to the city a few years before me. She has long jet-black hair and bright eyes, which always give a warm and intimate feeling. Although we came from different backgrounds, we quickly became friends because of common hobbies and topics.
The days of sharing a house with Xiaoying were an eye-opener for me. She is not only a smart and capable woman, but also an artist who knows how to live and enjoy life. Her room is always filled with books, music, and art, giving it a sense of serenity and elegance. She loves to travel, and every time she comes back from a business trip or vacation, she brings back some interesting souvenirs and stories to share with me what she has seen and heard. Under her influence, I also began to pay attention to travel and photography, trying to record the beautiful moments of life with my lens.
In addition to the bits and pieces of life, Xiaoying often shares her workplace experience and life insights with me. She told me to maintain a humble and dedicated attitude in the workplace, and constantly improve my professionalism and skill level. In interpersonal communication, we must learn to empathize and respect the feelings and needs of others. These suggestions are undoubtedly a valuable asset for me as a newcomer to the workplace.
However, sharing a house with a girl is not always easy. Sometimes, we also have some small frictions due to some differences in living habits. For example, I like to read or write at night, while Xiaoying is used to going to bed early and waking up early. Sometimes I stay up too late and accidentally disturb her rest. I am deeply sorry for this and try to adjust my schedule so as not to disturb her rest.
In addition, Xiaoying is a person who has high requirements for the living environment. She likes that her home is clean and spotless. I'm more casual, on the other hand, and sometimes I forget to clean up my room or wash my clothes. This made her a little upset, but instead of blaming me directly, she patiently reminded me and helped me tidy up the room together. Under her influence, I also began to pay attention to the hygiene and cleanliness of the home, and strive to make our living environment more comfortable and beautiful.
However, just as we were getting used to and enjoying this shared life, an unexpected piece of news shattered the peace. One night, Xiaoying suddenly told me that she was moving out. She said she had found a more suitable place to live and was closer to the company. When I heard the news, I was shocked and reluctant. We've become so used to each other's presence and company that it's really hard for me to accept being separated all of a sudden.
The night before Xiaoying moved out, we sat in the living room and talked for a long time. We reminisced about the moments we had when we first met and the good times we had together. Xiaoying said that she cherishes this friendship very much and hopes that we can all have a better life in the future. She also gave me a beautiful gift as a souvenir and told me to take good care of myself. At that moment, I deeply felt her sincerity and kindness, as well as the deep friendship between us.
The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight poured into the room through the curtains, I woke up to find that Xiaoying had left the place, leaving only an empty room and an indescribable emotion echoing in my heart. At that moment, I realized that sharing a house with Xiaoying was not only an unforgettable experience, but also a valuable life experience, which taught me to respect and understand others, and also made me cherish the people and things around me more.
In the days since Xiaoying left, I began to live more independently and deal with various problems. I began to pay more attention to my inner needs and emotional state, trying to find my own lifestyle and values. I also started to be more involved in social activities, make new friends, and expand my social circle. These experiences have made me more mature and confident, and I have a better understanding of what I want.
Although Xiaoying has left my life, her influence will remain in my heart forever. I deeply admired her kindness, sincerity and independence, and made me cherish every day I had even more. I believe that in the days to come, wherever I go, I will continue to move forward with the good memories of sharing a house with Xiaoying.
