Liu Xiaofang's words made Zhou Yuan stunned for a moment. He always had this idea before, hoping to change others.
It is said that a word can wake a person up from a dream. This time, Liu Xiaofang's words can be regarded as a wake-up call for him. It is difficult for a person to change himself, let alone others.
Therefore, everyone can only tolerate each other and overcome each other. Even if changes are needed, they should be made unconsciously, instead of always thinking about changing others.
This is simply unrealistic.
Zhou Yuan knew that he could not change others, so he could only change himself.
Li Xiaoxia has been thinking the same thing recently. She has loved Zhou Yuan for so many years and always hoped that a miracle would happen. But after waiting for so long, she found that the past has become the past.
But the reality has not changed at all. What has changed is one's appearance and age, what has changed is the passage of time and the passing of youth.
So when her mother said to her again, "My daughter, every time I asked you to go on a blind date, you always made excuses, giving me this or that excuse. In fact, I know there is someone in your heart, but after so many years, have you waited for him?"
Li Xiaoxia felt as if she was pierced by thousands of arrows at her mother's words. Her heart ached, her head felt dizzy, and her whole body shook.
This time my mom was right. I didn't get the chance, but what should I do? Can I continue to wait?
Obviously, this is unlikely. I am already in my thirties. How long can I wait?
Thinking of this, you think about it and say with some sadness: "Okay, okay, this time there is a suitable one, I will listen to you, and go on a blind date. It's not like I haven't been on a blind date before."
After saying that, he smiled bitterly.
And my mother finally smiled. Li Xiaoxia had refused to go on blind dates in recent years. Seeing that she was often depressed, my mother was also in a bad mood.
It is said that parents are the most compassionate people in the world. If their children are in a bad mood, how can the parents be in a good mood, right?
Now that the child has agreed to the blind date, he has become cheerful, and his parents' mood has also become cheerful.
However, after explaining everything to her mother, Li Xiaoxia dialed Zhou Yuan's phone number and asked him to come out for coffee to discuss everything.
Zhou Yuan didn't know what was going on, so he asked, "Sister, is there something on your mind? Have you been wronged again?"
"What a grievance! Even if there is any grievance, it's between you and me." The other person said and laughed.
Zhou Yuan also smiled. Li Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Please treat me to coffee at the usual place. We'll meet in half an hour. See you there."
"Okay, no problem. I'll leave right away and I'll be there in half an hour."
The old place Li Xiaoxia was talking about was a relatively high-end coffee shop outside their community.
The two of them used to drink coffee there often, and Zhou Yuan was familiar with the people, so half an hour later, he showed up at the door of the coffee shop on time.
But he found that Li Xiaoxia was already sitting steadily inside and waving at him!
"Wow, sister, how come you're here so early?" Zhou Yuan sat on the other person's table with a smile, and then asked the waiter to bring coffee.
"Okay, wait a moment." The waiter agreed and walked over. Looking at Li Xiaoxia, who looked a little sad, she said:
"Did I guess right? You really have run into trouble, right?"
"You guessed it right, idiot! I'm in trouble every day. How could you have guessed it right?" Li Xiaoxia rolled her eyes and waved her hand. "Don't you know? My mom is forcing me to go on a blind date again. I'm already in my early 30s. Do you think I can refuse?"
"You really shouldn't refuse. Everyone has to take this step, whether it's a woman or a man. A successful career alone isn't enough; you also need a happy family. A stable life is the only way to achieve a complete life."
Zhou Yuan tried his best to control his emotions and spoke in a calm manner.
Li Xiaoxia knew he was doing this for her own good, but she was a little unconvinced and said, "After all, you've never considered my feelings and found a girlfriend without telling me.
You always leave me hanging, don’t you think I’m a bitch?”
"No, sister, I have always regarded you as my sister. The friendship between us is sincere, do you know?"
Zhou Yuan gently patted Li Xiaoxia's hand and said sincerely, "Thank you for your affection for me, but to be honest, we are really not suitable for each other.
I am just a rural person. I have been wandering outside for many years. Although I have achieved some achievements over the years, my roots are still in the countryside.
But you're different. You're a city girl, you have a good family background, and you're successful in your career. In short, you have a bright future. You shouldn't always focus on a crooked tree. Do you understand?"
"Bullshit, neck tree, stop calling yourself a crooked neck tree, okay?"
The thing Zhou Yuan said most to Li Xiaoxia was to ask her not to guard the crooked tree.
So Li Xiaoxia became a little disgusted with these words. What should this guy say now? It seemed that he didn't know what to say unless he said these words.
Li Xiaoxia was very upset and didn't know what to do. Then both of them stirred the coffee in their cups, staring at each other like Zhang Fei threading a needle.
You looked at me, I looked at you, and we were speechless. Li Xiaoxia had a lot to say in her heart, but she didn't know how to say it.
Zhou Yuan mainly wanted to persuade her, but he couldn't say it. At the same time, he also understood that it was useless to say it. After all, they had different paths and lifestyles.
The key is that they cannot walk together. This is their fate. One is a white swan flying in the sky and the other is a toad on the ground. One is in the sky and the other is on the ground. There is a complete difference between them.
So they are destined not to be together. Since they can't be together, they can only wave goodbye.
Life is sometimes so helpless. Thinking that there is only pure friendship between them, Zhou Yuan said:
"So we can't be husband and wife in this life, but we are sincere friends. May our friendship last forever. Come, I'll offer you a cup of coffee."
After saying that, he smiled meaningfully, and Li Xiaoxia also smiled, but her smile was a little bitter.
The two talked a lot that day, mainly about Zhou Yuan's persuasion to Li Xiaoxia, to untie her knot in her heart, hoping that she would forget the past, walk out of the shadow in her heart, open the window of her soul, and let the bright sunshine shine in.
Let life enjoy warmth and enjoy the wonderfulness of the outside world.
Faced with someone's good intentions, Li Xiaoxia finally pouted and said, "Can you please say less? You're even more nagging than my mom. Don't I understand what you're saying?"
Sometimes, understanding is one thing, and being able to do it is another. So it’s useless for you to say it. Let’s take advantage of the good times we have now and talk happily, okay?
"Okay, tell me what's up. I'm all ears." Zhou Yuan smiled.
Li Xiaoxia thought for a moment and said, "Of course I am happy! Because I have you as my best male friend.
Having you as a sincere friend is the happiest thing in my life."
After saying that, he laughed.
