I'd take 20 more year just to have another three days with you.
I am willing to trade 20 years for 3 days with you.
——"Labor Day", in 2013,
Xiao Zhao encountered countless strange flowers in his long blind date. Every time the blind date is over, listening to her talk about her wonderful experience has become a fixed topic for us unknowingly.
The object of this blind date is introduced by the leader. In her words, it is "human communication", which is essentially the scope of "entertainment", so I don't have much expectations.
If it was as she expected, as soon as the other party appeared in front of her, it gave her the impression of being inferior.
He came to the company to pick her up from get off work and drove a big red Beetle.
"Which pure man can drive a red beetle?" Xiao Zhao's tone was full of contempt.
When the other party got out of the car, Xiao Zhao's face became square. He wore an old mid-part, looking thin and short from a distance. Xiao Zhao stepped close to him on high heels, and there was no height difference at all. Along the way, Xiao Zhao didn't want to speak in a sullen mood.
Depressed all the way to the restaurant, the two of them met and said a few lukewarm words, and every air molecule was full of embarrassment. The other party came back from the bathroom halfway, and obviously wiped his hair back with water, and there were a few small droplets of water hanging from the tips of his hair.
Xiao Zhao desperately wanted to escape, took advantage of the gap between the other party's use of the bathroom, and sent me a WeChat message for help.
Jianghu rescue, save first and then talk about it. I resorted to the most old-fashioned method, calling her to urge her to come and comfort me under the guise of a conflict between husband and wife.
After I came, I told her about a movie I just watched recently called "Love Holiday".
The film tells the story of a middle-aged woman named Adele. After her divorce, she was devastated and could not stay at home. She relied on her 13-year-old son Henry to help her.
Once, the mother and son went shopping in the supermarket together, and met the fugitive Frank. Frank needs the help of his mother and son. Adele saw that the visitor was not good, and there was blood on her body. She wanted to refuse, but Frank used Henry as a threat. Adele had to.
After that, Frank temporarily hid in Adele's house. With Frank's arrival, the lives of the boring mother and son begin to take a positive turn. Frank taught mother and son to make peach pie, made them breakfast, helped Adele fix the car, taught Henry to play baseball, plastered walls in the basement, acted like a part of the family, and did what a master should do . The mother and son tasted the mainstay of the family, and gradually became fond of Frank. Adele even, under the encouragement of Frank, took a dance step that she hadn't danced for many years and danced closely with Frank.
In just three days, Adele and Frank fell in love. Adele is even more desperate, planning to take Henry and flee to Canada with Frank and fly away.
However, Frank's whereabouts were exposed, he was caught by the police, and he was imprisoned again for 25 years. After being released from prison, Frank struggled to find Adele and found that the other party had been waiting for him in the same place. The two have already seen each other for a long time, but their love has just begun.
If all the encounters of love in the world are a coincidence, then the coincidence between Adele and Frank can never be said to be beautiful. The film puts Frank in an extreme situation—a prison escapee. And aside from the inside story, he's also a terrifying murderer. Anyone else would never have thought of falling in love with a murderous fugitive who threatened his son's life. However, things took a new turn in their close days. In constant contact and observation, Adele found that Frank was gentle and gentle, and hard-working. If it weren't for the crime, it would not be an exaggeration to describe him as a "good man". Although there were many crises and fears when they met, Adele finally let go of her guard and gained a beautiful love.
Xiao Zhao seemed to understand something after hearing what I said. At this time, the other party sent a message saying that he had a good impression of Xiao Zhao and hoped to meet again on a date. Xiao Zhao looked at me, smiled and replied "Yes".
The second date was much smoother than the first. The other party took a taxi to pick up Xiao Zhao from get off work. The red Beetle was originally the car of the other party's sister-in-law. The car was repaired at the repair shop for a week. He helped his sister-in-law pick up the car and drove over for a date.
This time, the other party relaxed a lot, not only took the initiative to find topics to talk about, but also had a wealth of knowledge reserves and a wide range of coverage, which made Xiao Zhao sincerely admire. She found that the other party has been engaged in design work all the year round, is not good at interpersonal communication, and does not like small talk, but once he has mastered the topic, he talks incessantly and speaks quite insightfully, and sometimes even makes Xiao Zhao feel ashamed.
With the second time, the third time and the fourth time are logical. After many contacts, Xiao Zhao discovered many advantages of the other party. For example, he would definitely pick him up at Xiao Zhao's company every time he went on a date, and then he would definitely deliver Xiao Zhao to his door before he was willing to leave; he would ask Xiao Zhao every time he ordered food. Are there any taboos, dishes that I want to eat, and tastes I prefer; every time I pay the bill, there is no flickering, no shirk; every time I watch a movie, I choose the original English version that Xiao Zhao loves. In addition, Xiao Zhao also found that the other party's serious work is still very charming.
I laughed and asked her, "What about the middle score?"
Xiao Zhao said, "I'll take him to change his hairstyle tomorrow. This is really annoying no matter how you look at it."
I laughed even more.
When the famous Japanese model couple Miura Yuka and Yamaguchi Baihui first met, Yamaguchi Baihui's first impression of Miura Yuka was "not amiable". When prose master Zhu Ziqing and his wife Chen Zhuyin met, Chen Zhuyin felt that the old-fashioned beam shoes that Zhu Ziqing was wearing were rustic. When Zhao Wei was introduced to Huang Youlong, he said that his "name sounded like someone from the rivers and lakes".
Some people like it at first sight, and some people don't. It may be inconspicuous at first, or even full of negative comments, but after getting to know him deeply, you will find that there is an invisible beauty in him. This beauty is sometimes the connotation, sometimes the experience, and sometimes the story behind him. In any case, you will be deeply impressed by this beauty. It will not fade with time, but as time goes on, it will emit a light that can only be honed by time.
The so-called love at first sight is just an idea. People who can see at first glance are either good-looking or have exposed wealth. Beauty has a fresh-keeping period, and wealth has a day when it is empty. Only a person's inner beauty can ensure that time will not be let down.
External beauty can be seen at a glance, but inner beauty can only be understood in close encounters. A beautiful love doesn't need to mind how it starts, as long as you understand that a truly long-term and happy love is determined by the characters and qualities of both parties.
The real beauty will not pass away and will not be let down. It will stand up to the scrutiny and polishing of the years, bringing you infinite sincerity and beauty. And this kind of beauty may not be when we meet.
