My name is Zhang Qiang, and I was 25 years old at the time, in the prime of my youth. The family conditions are not bad, my parents are teachers, and I have received a good education since I was a child. After graduating, I worked in a state-owned enterprise and lived a stable life, but my relationship was never settled. My family watched me get older and started to give me a blind date.
To be honest, I've always been a little resistant to blind dates, and I always feel like ducks being driven to the shelves, with no freedom at all. But I couldn't resist the persuasion of my parents and relatives, so I had to bite the bullet.
On that day, the sun was shining, and I came to the promised park with a neat suit and a nervous mood. In the distance, I saw a girl in an army green tracksuit sitting on a bench, and the sun shone on her, looking particularly heroic. My heart moved, isn't this the ideal type in my mind?
I walked over and said hello to her. She looked up, bared a mouthful of white teeth, and smiled brightly. We chatted, and I found out that she was not only beautiful, but also had a cheerful personality, and we had a lot in common. She told me that her name was Li Mei and that she was a female soldier who had just been discharged from the army.
As I chatted, I suddenly felt as if there was an inexplicable tacit understanding between us. I secretly rejoiced in my heart, can this blind date really be successful?
At this moment, Li Mei suddenly stood up and said, "Why don't we come to Bibi to see, who can run 10 laps around this park?" ”
When I heard this, I was stunned, and I thought to myself, why did this girl suddenly make such a request? I usually exercise, but it's still a bit hard to run 10 laps at once. However, looking at her expectant eyes, I was embarrassed to refuse, so I had to say yes.
So, we started this peculiar game. I ran lap after lap as hard as I could, while Li Mei kept a constant pace and followed me unhurriedly. By the time I reached the fifth lap, I was already exhausted and out of breath, but seeing that Li Mei was still persistent, I had to grit my teeth and continue running.
Finally, we finished 10 laps. I was so tired that I almost collapsed on the ground, but I felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment in my heart. Li Mei walked over, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Not bad, I didn't expect you to persevere." ”
I gasped and said with a wry smile, "Are you testing me?" ”
Li Mei smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a test, I just want to see if you have perseverance and determination." After all, life is like this run, and sometimes we need to persevere a little bit to see better scenery. ”
I listened to her words, and my heart suddenly brightened. It turned out that she was not deliberately embarrassing me, but telling me a truth in this way: in the face of difficulties and challenges in life, we need to have persistence and perseverance in order to go further.
Since then, I have gained a deeper understanding and understanding of Li Mei. We started going on frequent dates, watching movies, shopping, and eating together. I found that she was not only strong on the outside, but also gentle and considerate on the inside. Our feelings are getting deeper and deeper.
Soon after, we decided to get married. At the wedding, Li Mei wore a white wedding dress, which was so beautiful that it made people's hearts move. I looked at her with happiness and contentment.
Recalling the blind date experience, I was full of emotion. If it weren't for that peculiar request made by Li Mei, maybe we wouldn't have so many stories and memories. She taught me a valuable truth in her own way: in the face of difficulties and challenges in life, we need to have perseverance and perseverance in order to reap more happiness and beauty.
Today, we have been married for many years, and life is still as sweet as ever. Whenever I think back to that blind date experience, I will thank Li Mei for the inspiration and changes she brought me. She is not only my wife, but also my mentor and friend, accompanying me through every stage of my life.
