Women are creatures who enjoy love
On October 22nd last year, I flew to Hong Kong. At night, Lingzi, the girl in the same room, and a large group of colleagues from the crew went shopping. I didn't go. Because I have been in Hong Kong many times, I am tired of constantly shopping and shopping.
There is a small record store on the right side of the hotel where our crew stayed, and I often go alone to pick out a few CDs I like. Across from the record store, there is a secluded coffee shop. I like its name and it's called "Talk". I once curiously asked the boss why he used this name. The thin and tall man, speaking less fluent Mandarin, told me that because conversation is the beginning of all beautiful encounters, I smiled and thought deeply.
As I was wandering around, I suddenly saw Eason Chan's new album, which had just been released. I reached out and didn't touch the record, but with the other hand, I met, stood still, and retracted in front of the CD. It was Xiang Wei, who flew to Hong Kong together. He gestured to me to take off my headphones and looked at me curiously, saying, "Didn't you go shopping? I didn't expect we had the same interests, why don't we have a cup of coffee together?" This sentence was written on paper as a question mark, but it came out of Xiang Wei's mouth and became a complete stop. His gaze was filled with anticipation for a positive response. So I nodded and gladly accepted.
Although Xiang Wei and I are in the same company, we have only met a few times because the company has a large number of flight attendants, and it is not easy to frequently encounter the same person flying together.
We chatted for several hours on the opposite side of 'Talk'. Xiang Wei has a clean and sunny face, as well as slender fingers, which I believe are symbols of youth. After all, he has only been flying for three years, and I have already passed the age of wasting my youth. I really enjoy chatting with him, perhaps because chatting with him makes me feel young. A woman who is about to turn 30 always hopes to prove in some way that she is still young. Think of yourself as 30 years old, you should be a stable age. But it seems that I am still confused about marriage, perhaps due to my reluctance, there is still some commotion in my heart.
On the flight that came back the next day, while I was adding drinks to the captain, Xiang Weisai, who was sitting behind him, gave me a note asking me to have dinner tonight. In the crew car, I turned on my phone and four text messages popped up. It was my boyfriend Li Yuan who asked me to get off the plane and called him. I dialed over and told Li Yuan that I had landed safely. If you have anything to do at night, don't come to pick me up.
Xiang Wei and I changed our uniforms, took a taxi to a Western restaurant, and had dinner with him. It was very pleasant and enjoyable.
Half a month later, Xiang Wei said he fell in love with me. I also love him inexplicably, this big boy who is 5 years younger than me. So I called Li Yuan and said we should break up. Because I feel like at some point a long time ago, I didn't seem to love Li Yuan anymore, but there was never a suitable person to appear. And I am a woman who cannot live without love, so I enjoy Li Yuan's love with peace of mind. But today is different, because of Xiang Wei's appearance, I fell in love with him who loves me.
As expected, when I returned home that night, Li Yuan was waiting for me at the door. He asked me, 'Can we talk?' I declined. I dare not, because I don't want to see my heart soften. I really feel a bit reluctant to part with Li Yuan. After six years of love, who would easily give up? However, time has made us too familiar with each other. If it were only for a lifetime like this, I would find it difficult to imagine the mundane nature of life, and it would be difficult to imagine that every day is filled with daily necessities and trivial matters. I don't want to live an unchanging life yet. And Xiang Weicai and I have just transitioned from strangers to acquaintances, and there are too many things we yearn to understand each other. Life is more exciting and enjoyable because of this, and women are the ones who should enjoy love life. I firmly believe that.
