The love you meet at the corner

Love does not need a reason. When love comes, your heart will be struck at a moment to be broken. And open the door of love, often not wisdom and reason, it can sometimes be reckless to the extreme or foolish to the extreme action.

The love you meet at the corner

At the weekend, there was a talk show on TV, the theme was "Love's Choice". The woman who was invited to the scene is a graceful, elegant elderly, her eyebrows have the happiness that can not be hidden, with the corners of the lips slightly curved down diffuse.

   She was talking about a difficult choice she made twenty-five years ago. At that time, she was a flower in the factory, chasing her a lot of boys, her eyes finally fell on Xu Fei and Wang Li two boys.

   Xu Fei and Wang Li look like human beings, and are the technical backbone of the factory, to her are the same love, and the character also the same kindness. Although they all understand each other's thoughts, but never behind the bad, and do not put pressure on her, they said, no matter who she finally chose, will respect her choice and will bless each other.

   I have been indecisive, I did not expect that the turn of events would be an accident. She was caught up in memories.

   That time, the three of them went on a hike together. At first, they followed the group, and after an hour she slowed down because of physical exhaustion, Xu Fei and Wang Li accompanied her slowly up the mountain. Halfway up, they took a wrong fork in the road and went into a primitive forest by mistake.

   Half a day had passed, and they were still in the mountain group. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the accident happened, she slipped into a largely abandoned trap, hungry and tired, she blacked out and lost consciousness for a moment.

   Wang Li and Xu Fei called out to her anxiously from above, but she didn't answer, and Wang Li jumped into the trap despite Xu Fei's objections.

   She fell down the place in soft yellow soil and was not injured, just a moment of shock and fainting. Wang Li jumped down, but landed on a rock and broke his foot bones.

   The trap is four or five meters deep, the trap wall is smooth, the mouth is small and large, now a weak woman and an injured person fell in it, with Xu Fei alone, without the help of tools is impossible to save them out of the trap.

   The sky began to float snowflakes, Xu Fei lying on the ground and shouted, you wait, I will come to save you. After saying that, Xu Fei's voice disappeared.

   The night was dark and the temperature was continuing to drop. She and Wang Li cheered each other up, guessing that Xu Fei must be looking for mountain vines nearby, and would soon come to pull them out. However, one hour passed, two hours passed, five hours passed, and ten hours passed ...... Xu Fei never showed up.

   The host interjected that disaster is the best way to test true feelings. When encountered with danger, one is not hesitant to share your plight, one is to abandon you and flee alone, it seems that this event chose for you.

   At that time, I was thinking the same thing. She smiled faintly and continued to state.

   The temperature continues to drop, despite her and Wang Li being close together, the cold still little by little deprives them of consciousness. Just as they were about to lose their last consciousness, she heard voices calling out to them.

   It turned out that when Xu Fei went to look for the mountain vine, he saw another trap not far from the place where she and Wang Li had fallen. It seems that this forest is often infested with wild animals, and in snowy weather if there are hungry wolves, there is absolutely no possibility of escape for her and the injured Wang Li, who are skinny and weak. And since someone set a trap here, it means that there will be people here, too, and if the judgment is correct, there should be people nearby. He instantly changed his mind, and later proved to be correct. Fearing that no one would come to their rescue in case he had a problem, he took off a piece of underwear, wrote the word help, hung it on a small tree in the place where they fell, and started to look for people.

   At each intersection, he had to use the electrician's knife he carried to cut a piece of cloth from his clothes and wrap it around a small tree on the side of the road as a marker. He walked hard in the wind and snow, physical energy and heat in his body rapidly lost, he still struggled to go in the direction downhill. An hour passed, two hours passed, five hours passed, and eight hours passed ...... When he finally swooped open the door of a house, people were surprised to see the snowman in front of them, with some rags hanging like a madman, and his legs below the knee, completely bare in the snow and wind, it was hard to imagine that he was still could walk in the snow and wind for so long.

   At this point, she paused, as if to quell the emotions welling up in her heart.

   The host said, "This is difficult again, both of them are so affectionate.

   A female guest interjected and said, "What's so difficult about this? Think about it, Wang Li is only the courage of a man, if he had not recklessly jumped into the trap and was injured, he and Xu Fei two big men's strength will be a woman out of the trap is not a difficult thing. In that case, the three of them may have come out of danger, and not nearly all lost their lives. This kind of man, there is no sense of security, how can give him a lifetime? And Xu Fei has the courage and resourcefulness, emotion and righteousness, if not for his resourcefulness to change his mind and leave a signpost, I'm afraid the two people under the trap, have died. And in that situation, he was neither as eager to show himself as his lover, nor his lover was injured as a reason to pull his beloved out first to escape together, not to mention that letting Wang Li and his beloved stay alone together is not a relationship, he was only thinking that he could not let the two of them easily involved in danger. His love is great. Such a man will bring happiness to women. Said the guest of honor turned to her and asked, am I right?

   She nodded her head, I was thinking the same thing at that time.

   The host looked at her smiling face and said, it seems that you have chosen Xu Fei.

   She smiled and shook her head, no, I married Wang Li.

   Why? Everyone at the show was stunned.

   She thought for a moment and said, "No reason. Love does not need a reason. When love comes, your heart will be struck in a moment to be struck through. And open the door to love, often not wisdom and reason, it can sometimes be a reckless or foolish action.

   Her words touched the audience, and the host could not help but applaud her. When the applause stopped, the female guest asked again, "So are you happy? In the long years, have you ever regretted the choice you made?

   She smiled happily, I don't have the chance to regret, it because, since the accident, Wang Li has become very precious about life and living, and has to think twice before doing anything. Now, he is a good leader outside and a responsible father, husband, and son at home.

   The female guest also asked, "What about Xu Fei? A man like him must be successful and famous, right?

   She suddenly felt sad, Xu Fei's ability to work as you said, was very strong, his career soon as the day, but he acted more and more reckless and stubborn. Once, the engineer found a defect in the project he was in charge of and advised him to extend the work period to wait for verification. He was stubborn and said that it was with his excellent judgment and decisive drive that he saved us. The result was a big accident, he was thus imprisoned, and his wife left him.

   Fate, always unknowingly turn the corner. She sighed quietly, I sincerely pray that his fate can turn the corner again, and around the corner can meet love.

   The scene was quiet.

   In front of the TV, a man threw away the knife in his hand. He was released from prison today and was going to clean up the bad woman who rolled up his property after his accident, abandoned his family, and caused his son to wander the streets.
