Foreword: If a man is willing to carry a woman up the longest stairs, even without asking for a reason, then what reason does the woman have to refuse him?

She is a city white-collar worker; he is a city porter.

After graduating from high school, they went down completely different paths. However, they still maintained a romantic relationship. Just maintaining it.

During the day, she drinks authentic Nestlé coffee at the office; after work, she eats the cheap popsicles he buys. At noon, she enjoys the exquisite meals at the office; in the evening, he takes her to a shabby restaurant to eat not-so-authentic Lanzhou noodles.

She felt that her life was too inconsistent. This kind of relationship seemed destined for a certain outcome from the very beginning.

Every day he would come to pick her up, then drop her off at the elevator of her white-collar apartment, say goodnight, and leave in a hurry.

One day, she suddenly wanted to be playful and said, “Carry me upstairs.” He looked at the elevator, which was working fine, then turned back and said, “Okay.” He didn’t ask for a reason.

He carried her from the first floor, slowly climbing up.

Halfway up, he got tired and said, “Can we rest for a bit?” She suddenly got interested and playfully refused.

So he really didn’t rest, carrying her all the way up to her apartment on the 13th floor.

She asked if he was tired. He said, “Yes, it’s more tiring than carrying goods.” She knew he was telling the truth and felt a bit touched.

But they still broke up. Sometimes, mere touch of emotion isn’t enough to sustain love.

The city didn’t lack porters, so he returned to the countryside. He would occasionally call her, telling her he was growing vegetables in a greenhouse and had made some money. She listened indifferently. By that time, she had a new boyfriend, one who was her equal in status.

Then one day, he called again, saying he had saved up five thousand yuan, enough to get married in the countryside. She found her eyes suddenly moist.

Her new boyfriend also picked her up from work every day, taking her to the elevator, politely saying goodnight, and then leaving.

One day, she said, “Carry me upstairs.” The boyfriend agreed. The elevator was on the first floor, so the boyfriend picked her up and quickly rushed into the elevator. As she lay on his back, rising with the elevator, her heart was sinking fast. The boyfriend chuckled, seemingly pleased with his humorous little trick.

That day, she didn’t accept the usual goodnight kiss from her boyfriend.

She called him, asking if he had spent that five thousand yuan yet, and found herself in tears. He said he had. She threw away the phone, feeling like she was losing the whole world.

A few days later, she saw him at the elevator door, holding a high-end ring. He raised the ring and said, “Five thousand yuan.” She smiled, then started crying uncontrollably.

She asked, “Carry me upstairs?” He said, “Okay,” then he carried her, step by step, up the stairs. When he got tired, he stayed silent and kept climbing until they reached the 13th floor.

At that moment, she thought, if a man is willing to carry a woman up the longest stairs, even without asking for a reason, then what reason does the woman have to refuse him?
