Blind Date Turned Proposal

Josie was taken aback, and she thought about their era’s context. “Was it a blind date?”

“Yes. In that era, arranged marriages were common. In the blink of an eye, several decades have passed.” He sighed nostalgically and continued, “Looking back, there was actually no love between us at the beginning. But it was quite enjoyable to live that way, with quarrels and fuss, negotiations and compromises.”

Josie burst into laughter upon hearing that.

“I remember the fiercest argument I ever had with her was when I wanted to resign and go teach voluntarily in another place. Our child was only three years old then. We argued so fiercely that it felt like the house was about to collapse.” He was reminiscing, and a hint of pride could be heard in his tone when he added, “Guess what! In the end, I won the argument.

The gentle elderly woman scoffed lightly. “What’s the point of winning an argument? You were only there for two days.”

He expressed his dissatisfaction by saying, “I missed the child.”

In his youth, the elderly man was full of kindness and ambition. He thought his willpower would allow him to stay in the mountains for a long time, but unexpectedly, he collapsed after just two days. When, people are alone, they don’t care about anything, and they’re willing to endure any hardship. However, once they encounter warmth and get used to that warmth, they become incredibly vulnerable.

Josie couldn’t help but say, “You must’ve missed her too, right?”
