My name is Xiaoyan. I’m an ordinary urban girl. Every day, I shuttle between the company and my rented house, leading a life as plain as water. Until one day, at a gathering organized by a friend, I met Yuxuan
Yuxuan was like a ray of light shining into my ordinary world. He was wearing a simple white shirt, and when he smiled, there were two deep dimples. His eyes seemed to hide the stars and the vast ocean. At the party, everyone played Truth or Dare. I drew the game and was asked to get the contact information of the opposite sex I liked the most in the audience. My face turned red at once. I hesitated for a long time. I still gathered my courage and walked towards Yu Xuan. He looked at me, his eyes full of smiles, and generously gave me his phone number. At that moment, my heart was pounding like a little rabbit in my pocket.
After the party, we began to chat frequently, from poetry and prose to life philosophy, from daily trivialities to future aspirations. It seemed that we always had endless things to talk about. Gradually, our relationship became delicate. One weekend, Yuxuan invited me to take a walk in the park. The sun was shining brightly that day, warm and cozy on us. Suddenly, he took my hand and my body trembled slightly. But he didn’t break free. He looked into my eyes and said, “Xiaoyan, I like you. Would you like to be my girlfriend?” I nodded shyly. At that moment, I felt like the happiest person in the world.
The time of love is always sweet. We go to watch the sunrise together and wait for the sun to rise slowly on the mountain top. At that moment, the beauty seems as if time has stood still. We would curl up on the sofa together to watch a movie. When we saw a touching part, I would cry my eyes out, but he would gently hold me in his arms and comfort me. We would also cook together. Although we often made a mess of the kitchen, it was filled with laughter and joy.
The road of love is never smooth. Yuxuan’s work is getting busier and busier, and he often has to work overtime and travel on business. We have less and less time to meet, and our chats are often interrupted because of his busyness. I have become sensitive and suspicious, and can’t help but have wild thoughts. Once, when he came back from a business trip, I found that there were frequent chat records with a female colleague on his phone. Although the content seemed fine, it still felt like a thorn was stuck in my heart.
I couldn’t help but start arguing with him, asking if he didn’t love me anymore and why he was chatting so much with other girls. Yuxuan patiently explained that it was just work-related communication and told me not to think too much about it. But I was like I was possessed and wouldn’t listen at all. From then on, our quarrels became more and more frequent, and cracks appeared in our relationship.
For a period of time, Yu Xuan was extremely busy for several consecutive weeks due to an important project. I felt as if I had been forgotten by him, filled with grievance and anger. After he broke up with us again, I finally lost my temper and proposed a breakup. Yu Xuan looked at me with a tired expression, wanting to explain but holding back his words. In the end, he just nodded silently.
After the breakup, I lived in a daze. Every corner was filled with our past memories. Those sweet moments kept replaying in my mind like a movie. I began to regret my impulsiveness and why I couldn’t have been more understanding and tolerant. I tried to contact Yu Xuan, but his phone was always unanswered and there was no response on wechat.
Just when I thought we were completely over, on a rainy day, I happened to run into Yuxuan on the street. He looked very haggard and his eyes were full of exhaustion. We stared at each other in silence for a while. The rain soaked our hair and clothes. I couldn’t help crying and said, “Yuxuan, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been so willful. Let’s make up.” Yuxuan gently wiped away my tears and said, “Xiaoyan, actually, I’ve been reflecting on myself all along. I’ve been neglecting you during this period, and I’m also very sad.” ”
At that moment, we hugged each other tightly, as if all the conflicts and misunderstandings had vanished in this rain. After this setback, we cherished each other even more. Yuxuan learned to arrange his working hours reasonably and spend as much time as possible with me. And I also made efforts to adjust my mindset, becoming more mature and understanding of him.
We still hold hands and walk through one spring, summer, autumn and winter after another. Looking back on those days when we struggled and sank in love, I understand that true love requires mutual understanding and tolerance. Only by working together can we find our direction in the vortex of love and let this love last for a long time.
