A Ten-Year Love Expedition
A mysterious woman – Tina.
In recent years, the ten-year love expedition between the popular entertainer Richie Ren and Tina has taken the entertainment world by storm. Who is this mysterious woman and what is the story behind this vibrant love?
In the fall of 20xx, Richie, whose ancestral home is in Jiangxia District, Wuhan, returned home for the first time to hold a concert. During the concert, his parents also returned to their hometown for a visit. Reporters met them at Richie’s aunt Ren Bixia’s home in the Dongting Community, Wuchang. Perhaps due to their trust in local reporters, Richie’s father exclusively revealed to the author the little-known love story of his son and his future daughter-in-law Tina.
A Dominant Love,
I Respond to You with Romantic Candlelight in the Evening
In 1994, Richie was studying in the Physical Education Department at Taipei Cultural University. Because his parents were both elementary school teachers with modest incomes and had three children to support, they were under significant financial pressure. The sensible Richie not only lived frugally at school but also worked part-time to ease his parents’ burden.
In his sophomore year, Richie worked at a musical instrument store in Taipei, managing and selling instruments. His easygoing personality and attentive service attracted many performers, including celebrities, to the store. Richie was diligent and eager to learn; besides managing and selling instruments, he also taught himself music theory and played the guitar quite well. He often played the guitar shyly while selling instruments, and the melodious sound frequently drew passersby to stop, making the store’s business exceptionally good.
One day, a tall, fashionable girl came in to buy a guitar. Richie seriously helped her choose one, but after paying, she didn’t leave. Richie asked if she was dissatisfied with the service. The girl looked at him and said, “Yes, I don’t know how to play yet!”
Unable to play the guitar yet coming to buy one, Richie couldn’t help but laugh.
“You play the guitar well; can you teach me?” The girl’s request was a bit domineering, yet Richie couldn’t refuse.
“Why do you want me to teach you? I’m not that good.” Richie teased her.
“You’re not good?” The girl laughed. “Who doesn’t know that you’re the famous big brother from the Physical Education Department?”
Richie then learned that her name was Tina, a junior in the Decoration Department from an ordinary family in Taichung. She had noticed him long ago, and for this reason, Richie agreed readily.
From then on, Tina came to learn guitar from Richie every weekend. Each time, she brought delicious food and the latest music magazines.
However, Richie gradually noticed that Tina was more interested in chatting with him than in learning to play the guitar. So, he earnestly advised her that if she was coming to learn, she should take it seriously and not waste time. Though his guitar skills weren’t excellent, he didn’t want to mislead her.
Initially, Tina listened obediently, but soon she started to argue, saying, “I want to talk with you, so what?” showing her spoiled side. It turned out that she had a secret: she had developed a strong crush on Richie due to his honesty and artistic talent at school.
But Richie had no idea about this and continued to advise her earnestly not to be childish. Despite Tina’s repeated hints, Richie didn’t understand, which left her very sad and disappointed.
For several weeks, Tina did not come to learn guitar as usual. Richie was puzzled and called her, but she didn’t answer. Finally, a well-informed friend hinted, “Hey Richie, are you dense? She likes you!” Reflecting on Tina’s behavior, Richie finally realized the truth.
