Chen Dong has always believed that he is a rational and responsible man. However, on the evening after the rain, a chance encounter led him into an extramarital affair from which he could not extricate himself.
Her name was Lily, a woman with long, wavy brown hair and deep eyes. That day, Chen Dong was alone in the corner of the café sipping a cup of mocha, and Lily casually walked into his sight. Her smile, like the warm sun of spring, melted the defense line in his heart.
At first, Chen Dong just regarded her as an ordinary encounter, a beautiful passerby. But as time went on, they began to run into each other frequently, from cafes to bookstores, from parks to movie theaters, as if the whole world was creating opportunities for their encounters.
Lily is a smart and interesting woman, and her conversation and laughter make Chen Dong feel the passion and vitality that he has not seen for a long time. In her company, Chen Dong seems to have rediscovered his young self, the teenager who dared to take risks and pursue his dreams.
However, Chen Dong is well aware of the immorality and danger of this relationship. He has a family, a wife, and children, and they are the most important people in his life. He tries to struggle, trying to escape this unruly love, but every time he makes up his mind to end the relationship, Lily's tenderness and tears make him soften his heart again.
Extramarital feelings are like a kind of drug addiction, which makes him want to stop. He fell into deep self-blame and pain, on the one hand, guilt and responsibility for his family, and on the other hand, attachment and reluctance to Lily.
Until one day, Chen Dong's wife accidentally discovered his secret. Her eyes were full of disappointment and pain, and at that moment, Chen Dong woke up like a dream. He realizes that he almost ruined the whole family for the sake of momentary passion and happiness.
He learned from the pain and decided to end this affair once and for all. He confessed his decision to Lily, and although his heart hurt, he knew it was the only way out. Although Lily was reluctant, she also understood his choice.
Chen Dong returned to his family and began to work hard to make up for his mistakes. He cherishes his time with his family even more and strives to play the role of a husband and father. And Lily has also become a beautiful memory in his life, although it hurts, but it also makes him know more about cherishing and responsibility.
He understands that the reason why it is difficult to quit extramarital feelings is that it is not just a simple emotional entanglement, but also a test of human nature, morality and responsibility. In this ordeal, he almost lost himself, but fortunately he finally found his own direction.
After that, Chen Dong never contacted Lily again, and he devoted his whole mind to work and family. He strives to be a better husband and father, trying to make up for his past mistakes with his actions.
Time passed slowly, and Chen Dong's family gradually regained the harmony and warmth of the past. His relationship with his wife is becoming more and more harmonious, and their children are growing up healthy and happy. Whenever he recalls that extramarital affair, Chen Dong feels a heartache, but he also knows that it was that experience that made him cherish everything he has now.
And Lily also completely disappeared from Chen Dong's life. He didn't know if she was still in the city, if she had a new life. For him, Lily has become a distant past, a scar that will never be touched again.
Today, Chen Dong has learned how to face his past, how to learn from it and move forward. He knows that everyone has their own weaknesses and temptations, but the key is how to make the right choices and take due responsibility.
In this tortuous emotional journey, Chen Dong paid a heavy price and gained valuable life experience. He understood the dangers and consequences of extramarital affairs, and cherished his marriage and family even more. At the same time, he hopes that his story can serve as a warning and inspiration to those who are facing or will face similar difficulties.
