From high school to college, I experienced two failed relationships, either because of a different personality or because of a lack of mutual understanding. After working for two years, I feel that I am no longer a big deal. It's time to find someone who can live with me. I have no intention of continuing those ethereal relationships. In 2006, I entered my current unit with one new employee who had to adapt to everything from scratch. I am tired from working every day and rushing around various construction sites, and I don't have the heart to think about dating and getting married.
In September, a relative of mine came to Xiangfan for training. While chatting with his roommates, he asked each other if there were any single young people around him. My relatives think of me, and the roommate thinks of his cousin's daughter, Wanting, who is a high school teacher. When the two of us got together, they thought we were a good match in terms of age and profession, so we made the decision.
After my relatives returned, they gave me Wanting's number. That night, I sent her a text message and shared my basic information with her. After waiting for over an hour, there was no movement on the phone. I thought this thing was going viral again, but when it was almost 10 o'clock, she replied to a text message saying that she had just had time to reply in class. In this way, we sent text messages to each other for nearly an hour and set a place for our first meeting.
I almost missed my first meeting
We arranged to meet on a bridge. I arrived early that day and waited at the bridge for a long time without anyone coming. So I dialed her phone and walked towards the other end of the bridge.
I saw every girl passing by who didn't answer the phone, thinking she had broken the date. Unexpectedly, after the phone was connected, she said she was in the middle of the bridge. As I turned around, I saw a woman of medium height standing there with a smile on her face, and I had just passed by her. Almost, we passed by. We looked at each other and smiled, like old acquaintances we had known for a long time. She suggested going to Yuliangzhou to have fun and also tasting the cheap and delicious chicken soup there.
Wanting came out to work early and looked a bit more mature than me. She is a person with a strong sense of career, always serving as the homeroom teacher for her graduation class and spending almost every day with her students. Others introduced her to many people, but she was too busy with work to settle down. In this way, she became one of the few elderly single young women in the school. In 2007, the principal firmly refused to let her take on the graduation class again, giving her time to solve her personal problems first. So there's this date, and you have to thank our principal! "She smiled, and the atmosphere became much livelier. After returning that day, I took her home and was still immersed in the daytime dating. I was so confused that I took the wrong bus.
Climbing on a date surpasses thousands of scenery
The next date will be tough for me, who is not very athletic. On the second meeting, she proposed to climb the Martyrs' Tower. After finally climbing to the top of the mountain, I was so hungry that I asked her what she wanted to eat. She said she was losing weight and didn't eat lunch, so I had to keep her hungry.
The third time I climbed the mountain, I was still tired and hungry. With these two lessons learned, I quickly bought some dry food before my fourth date to prepare for a rainy day. Who knew this time she said she wanted to climb Wudang Mountain, and I was startled. The altitude of this dating location is getting higher and higher.
In order not to spoil her fun, I had to buy a ticket to Wudang Mountain. It was already midnight when we got there, so we found a hotel to stay. The next morning, take a car up the mountain. On the cable car, I saw a fiery maple leaf outside the window. It was already late autumn in November, and the autumn scenery was beautiful, while the person in front of me was even more beautiful. My heart moved and I took the opportunity to confess to her.
She smiled shyly and didn't say anything, instead making me nervous. For several days after returning, we had no contact, and I calmly pondered our relationship. Is she the one who can spend my whole life with me? On Singles' Day, we shared our thoughts with each other. She admitted that she will be very busy with work in the future and cannot take too much care of her family. After hearing her say this, I understand that she has accepted me in her heart and she has started to consider our future.
Romantic proposal, happy boat sets sail
To commemorate this iconic event, I am pondering what gift to buy for her. But she dares not buy expensive jewelry or anything like that, and she will definitely not accept it. With a brainwave, I selected a beautiful diary and jotted down every detail of our interactions, including every text message. She was so surprised that she couldn't speak when she gave her a large book that was full. I am proud to surprise her so much.
On Christmas day, we arranged for all our friends to go to KTV together. When everyone was enjoying themselves, the box door opened and a little girl handed a large bouquet of roses and a card to Wanting's hand. I loudly said the words on the card in front of my friends: "Wanting, I will always love you!" She was so moved that she almost cried. Watching her happy smile on her face, I whispered to myself that I wanted to give her a lifetime of happiness.
After the first heavy snow in 2008, she officially introduced me to her parents. Her mother broke her waist a month ago and still insisted on cooking a big and delicious meal for me. I deeply feel the warmth of this family. I remember an article that said, in one's life, one must search for four people: the first is oneself, the second is the person you love the most, the third is the person who loves you the most, and the fourth is the person you spend your entire life with. However, in real life, the last three people are usually not the same person. I am very fortunate that after meeting Wanting, my search can come to an end.
