Romantic stories with deep meaning
She was a girl with a graceful and refined temperament. Many boys liked her and surrounded her. She neither rejected nor accepted anyone; she was always calm and treated everyone the same.
This went on for years. Boys would come and go in her life—some left, and others joined the pursuit—but her indifference gradually frustrated them, and one by one, they left. In the end, only one boy remained by her side.
This boy had been her friend from the day they met. When there were many boys around her, he would distance himself, calling her once every ten days or so just to check in. But when there was no one else around, he would reappear in her life, caring for her closely, accompanying her. When new suitors emerged, he would quietly step back.
She noticed all of this, of course. One day, she asked him why he did this.
He replied, “I don’t want you to feel lonely.”
Such an ordinary sentence nearly brought her to tears. But she thought, to truly love someone, this alone is not enough.
Among all her suitors, he was the most ordinary: ordinary looks, ordinary job, ordinary family background, even his personality was so ordinary, yet there was something solid and dependable about him.
However, it was he who had stayed with her all along, from her vibrant youth at 20 years old, to now, at 28, when she had entered the category of an older woman.
In her heart, she believed that he might be the one to accompany her for the rest of her life. But there was still one final question in her heart. Over all these years, she had never been in a relationship because she had been waiting for the person she deemed worthy to ask this question.
In a calm tone, as if telling a story unrelated to herself, she said: “There was a girl who, at the age of 16, encountered a criminal by the reservoir. In her desperate struggle, the criminal pointed to the reservoir and said to her, ‘Either jump in and drown, or submit to me.’ Faced with the choice between life and shame, the girl ultimately chose shame.”
She then asked him, “Was the girl’s choice the right one? If you were her lover, would you have wanted her to jump in and die, or accept the shame?” He immediately understood that the girl was her. At that moment, he finally realized why she had always rejected love over the years. She said, “You don’t have to answer me right away. I’ll give you 12 hours, you can tell me tomorrow. If you don’t want to answer, that’s fine too.”
The next day, he came with a bouquet of roses. He said, “If the person I love faced such a situation, I would want her to choose life for me. What is chastity compared to life? I cannot bear to see my beloved leave me because of so-called chastity, so please, choose life for me.”
She threw herself into his arms, crying. All these years, she had been questioning whether her choice back then was the right one, especially when recalling that unbearable scene. But today, she was finally relieved and grateful that she chose life, for it allowed her to have the most beautiful love in the world.
