On the outskirts of a small city, there lived a man in his forties named Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu is an ordinary employee of a small design company in the city, and he is usually introverted and rarely takes the initiative to communicate with people. He likes to work quietly alone, and always avoids social activities.
However, one day, a neighbor named Li Juan, who had newly moved into the community, broke Zhang Yu's peaceful life. Li Juan is a cheerful and lively middle-aged woman who is always enthusiastic about the people around her. When she saw Zhang Yu, she immediately showed extreme concern and enthusiasm for him, far exceeding Zhang Yu's friendliness to her.
Zhang Yu felt a little uncomfortable about this, he was not used to others approaching him so enthusiastically. But Li Juan didn't mind, and would come to chat with him every day, asking him about his life, work and emotions. Zhang Yu felt a little pressure, but he couldn't refuse Li Juan's kindness.
As a result, Zhang Yu began to experience the trouble of "suicidal socialization". Li Juan always rushed to express her concern and attention to him, couldn't wait to express her thoughts and troubles to him, and never lacked topics, nagging endlessly.
Zhang Yu felt a little at a loss, he didn't understand why Li Juan was so enthusiastic about him, and he couldn't refuse her. He began to wonder if he had missed something and whether he should have given Li Juan more response.
Just then, an unexpected event happened. Zhang Yu learns that Li Juan is actually a widow who has just lost her husband, and she moved to this community to start her life again. The reason why she is so enthusiastic about Zhang Yu is because he gives her a sense of warmth and security at home, making her feel no longer lonely.
This unexpected discovery made Zhang Yu's attitude towards Li Juan change. He realized that he should no longer avoid socializing, but should give Li Juan more understanding and support. So, he began to take the initiative to communicate with Li Juan, share his life and feelings, and became her best friend.
In the end, Zhang Yu and Li Juan established a deep friendship and became indispensable in each other's lives. They face life's challenges together, support each other, and grow together. And this special social experience also made Zhang Yu understand the true meaning of socialization - not one-way taking, but giving to each other and growing together.
However, as time passed, Zhang Yu noticed that Li Juan's behavior was somewhat abnormal. Not only did she appear frequently in his life, but she also began to become overly dependent on him, almost always without his company and support. Zhang Yu began to feel a little suffocated, he felt that he couldn't cope with Li Juan's needs, but he couldn't bear to refuse her.
One night, Zhang Yu received a strange phone call. On the other end of the phone was a man, his voice low and majestic: "Are you Zhang Yu?" I'm Li Juan's husband, and she just told me she's there with you. Zhang Yu was shocked and confused, he didn't know why Li Juan was hiding his marital status from him.
During the conversation, Li Juan's husband revealed an even more surprising fact - Li Juan did not move to this community because she was widowed, but to escape the problems and pressures of her marriage. She has been looking for someone to rely on and confide in, and Zhang Yu has just become her "life-saving straw".
This unexpected truth made Zhang Yu feel extremely shocked and heartbroken. He realizes that he is being caught up in an emotional entanglement that is not simple. He felt right for Li Juan
