Family Emotional Stories: The Fastest Love
He went to participate in the “Best Good Man” selection event held in the city. Initially, he didn’t want to go, but under her strong insistence, he agreed to give it a try. She was afraid he might give up this opportunity, so she followed him closely all the time.
There were hundreds of men signing up, and three challenges awaited them.
The first challenge was a review of materials. The host read his materials and smiled at him with approval.
He looked at her in the audience, and she was also looking at him. Although she had a smile on her lips, her eyes were wet, filled with infinite gratitude.
The second challenge was a couples’ telepathy test. According to the event rules, the wife would prepare a dish and mix it with other pre-made dishes. The man had to identify the dish prepared by his wife.
Before the event started, he asked the host, “Can I switch roles with her? I’ll prepare the dish, and she will guess.”
The host nodded and said, “I’ll make an exception for you.”
So he stood at the preparation table, and as soon as the signal was given, he swiftly mixed the dish like a skilled chef. He was the first to finish. Despite the dish looking almost identical to the pre-made ones, she accurately identified it.
He passed the second challenge smoothly.
By the time they reached the third challenge, only ten men remained.
The host brought the ten men and their wives to a pavilion. Just as he was about to announce the content of the third challenge, the pavilion started shaking. The host’s face turned pale, and he shouted, “Oh no, an earthquake!”
The city frequently experienced sudden, unpredictable earthquakes. As soon as the host finished speaking, some couples had already started running hand in hand, while a few men left their wives and ran off.
He ran faster than anyone else. At that moment, he seemed like a bullet shooting towards the exit.
The host watched their backs and shook his head in disappointment. Then he said into the microphone, “Friends, the earthquake is fake. This pavilion is independent and equipped with a shaker, which is the third challenge.”
The people who had run stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with shame.
He paused, then took a few more steps before stopping to listen to the ground. Confirming there was no real earthquake, he returned.
At this moment, the host pointed to the only man who hadn’t moved and said, “Now, I announce that he is the winner of this event.”
It was an old gentleman, about sixty years old, the oldest participant in the event. The old man was his neighbor and a good friend.
The old gentleman, blushing, said, “No, I didn’t run because I didn’t hear clearly due to my hearing impairment, and my legs are not good, so I couldn’t run fast. Actually, the real winner is this man.” As he spoke, the old man’s hand pointed to him.
The old man then made a request to the host to read his materials aloud. The host thought for a moment and nodded.
His materials were written by her. She said she was an unfortunate person. Her father died in a car accident when she was born, and her mother raised her with great difficulty. However, a few years ago, her mother had a stroke and was bedridden. Her greatest fortune in life was meeting him. Not only did he treat her with great care, but he also took meticulous care of her mother. Because her hands were affected by the cold, making her fingers numb, he handled all the cooking at home…
After reading the materials, the host sighed and said, “I can see he is a good man, but our event rules require passing all three challenges, and in the third challenge, he was the first to run away when I shouted ‘earthquake.'”
“No!” At this moment, she, who hadn’t spoken, stepped onto the stage with red eyes and said, “He didn’t run away because I know he was rushing home to carry my bedridden mother to safety.”
It turned out that this man, who ran the fastest, was the true good man.
