You Will Fall in Love with Me Eventually
Some people fall into love, especially the ones who fall first. They are always passionate about love, no matter what the outcome is; they always try first. Today, I want to share a touching love story about “You Will Fall in Love with Me Eventually” with everyone. Welcome to read!
After graduating from university, Su Xiaoxiao worked in an administrative position at a well-known advertising company in the provincial capital.
Over time, her uneventful life became increasingly empty, and the growing loneliness gnawed at her heart and soul. With nowhere else to turn, she found herself in an internet café – the best place for young people to pass the time.
One day after work, after having dinner, Xiaoxiao was about to go out. As soon as she opened the door, she suddenly saw a burly figure blocking the doorway. Her heart skipped a beat, thinking she had encountered a bad person.
Just as she was about to scream, a chubby face turned to her and said, “Hello, I’m not a thief.”
Xiaoxiao was startled again, unsure whether to go back inside or step out, when he added, “I live next door. If you need anything, feel free to ask.” Xiaoxiao nodded, smiled awkwardly, and quickly locked the door and left.
Outside, she let out a sigh of relief. Who admits to being a thief these days? After wandering around, Xiaoxiao entered the internet café. It seemed there was nowhere else for her to spend her time. Living alone, there was a mix of helplessness and a bit of freedom.
Internet romance was common, and Xiaoxiao looked down on this phenomenon, accepting the adoration of a group of online “moths” with disdain. This game, however, became a necessary routine after work every day.
When she returned home, she saw that the tall guy was still standing at the door, but his door was open, and the landlord was installing a lock. He was still grinning. Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him, greeted the landlord, and went inside. This idiot must have broken the lock because he couldn’t open the door, Xiaoxiao thought as she fell asleep with a smile.
Xiaoxiao learned that his name was Niko, from Shandong. He was sent by his company on a six-month business trip. After graduating in English, he worked in international trade and spent a year abroad.
He had given almost all his earnings to his girlfriend. Unexpectedly, after returning to China, his girlfriend got a new boyfriend. In a fit of anger, he seized the opportunity to come here to develop business.
Niko liked Xiaoxiao, and she slowly read love in his eyes. But she knew she would never like him. He was far from her dream partner, so every time she saw his passionate eyes, she would frankly say, “You better not like me. I am strange. The better you treat me, the more I will resent you.”
He always grinned, saying, “I just like you. I know you like me too. One day, you will admit it.” Every time, Xiaoxiao would ignore him angrily, but he always had a way to make her laugh.
On her 24th birthday, Niko dragged Xiaoxiao around the streets and finally went to a jewelry section in a supermarket, declaring he would buy her a gift. Xiaoxiao refused to accept it, but he insisted on giving her a gift. In the end, Xiaoxiao walked away in a huff, and he followed suit.
Back home, he forcibly put the bracelet on her, saying, “It’s not like I’m asking you to marry me. Why are you so agitated? It’s just a birthday gift to keep you as a friend.” Looking at the shining bracelet, Xiaoxiao’s vanity was satisfied, and she said nothing.
Days after work were no longer monotonous and dull. With him as her neighbor, Xiaoxiao’s life seemed more colorful. They competed in making hometown snacks, reminisced about past loves, and discussed their life experiences.
However, Xiaoxiao still couldn’t accept him. Reality and fantasy—she couldn’t figure out which was more important, so she chose to avoid love and reality.
Six months flew by, and Niko was about to leave. On the last night, it seemed they had a lot to say, but both were silent, heads down, eating in silence. Was it the sadness of parting, or the helplessness of sadness? Neither had the heart to delve into it.
“Xiaoxiao, can I stay? I won’t leave, okay?” Niko asked, looking at Su Xiaoxiao.
“No, this place isn’t suitable for your development. You’ll have better opportunities after you go back,” Xiaoxiao said firmly.
“Not even for you?”
“I’ve told you before, I won’t love you. We are better off as friends.” Xiaoxiao responded angrily. Niko said nothing and left.
At the station, Niko refused to board the train, still asking persistently, “Xiaoxiao, can I not leave?” Xiaoxiao hesitated, unable to answer, and just shook her head vigorously.
As the train attendant urged him, Niko hugged her tightly, saying, “Xiaoxiao, can I not leave? I can’t bear to leave you!” Tears started rolling down as he spoke. Xiaoxiao couldn’t answer, so she hid in his arms, crying quietly. She was really conflicted, but it seemed there was no other choice.
As the train started, Niko reluctantly jumped on, shouting to Xiaoxiao, “I will definitely come back!” Watching Niko at the door of the train and the slowly departing train, Xiaoxiao felt a sourness in her heart. After more than half a year together, there was bound to be some emotion.
Returning to life alone, Xiaoxiao suddenly felt unaccustomed. Looking at the locked door next to hers, she often had the urge to knock. She didn’t understand why this half-year memory had become an inescapable habit.
Fortunately, Niko kept in touch with her every day after getting on the train. Xiaoxiao could always feel his presence. But she refused to admit it was love. She told herself it was just a habit.
One day, Niko apologized over the phone. Xiaoxiao, puzzled, asked why.
Amidst the intermittent conversation, Xiaoxiao learned that Niko’s parents forced him to get engaged to his ex-girlfriend. Xiaoxiao knew Niko had liked her since they met.
She also knew that his ex-girlfriend desperately wanted to be with him again. Feeling guilty for the engagement arranged behind his back, he kept apologizing to Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao smiled, shook her head, and looked at the platinum bracelet Niko had given her. Although she wouldn’t admit she liked him, she felt she had the right to help him out of this clichéd story as a friend.
Niko didn’t want to upset his parents. They believed that only this girlfriend, who had liked him since junior high despite her odd temper, would be willing to marry far away. No one else would marry their son, who, despite his overseas fame, came from a poor rural family.
Xiaoxiao understood Niko’s feelings and advised him on the relationship between happiness and marriage, encouraging him to pursue his own happiness courageously. Niko finally smiled, determined to calmly resolve the issue. Xiaoxiao suddenly felt great, having saved a loveless marriage, but then felt pitiful, as her youth seemed to miss out on her own love.
Niko still called Xiaoxiao several times a day, sending countless text messages. This guy showed no restraint, even as a fiancé. Xiaoxiao immersed herself in his adoration, getting used to his daily declarations of missing her and his affectionate voice.
Xiaoxiao started feeling confused. It seemed his girlfriend wasn’t the domineering, tall girl with glasses, but rather the childish, short girl who barely reached his shoulder—herself.
But then Xiaoxiao rebutted herself. He was too tall, too fat, far from her standards. He wasn’t handsome, and most importantly, he was two years younger than her. These were all fatal reasons for her to reject him. Lying in bed, she laughed, imagining her future prince while replying to his persistent texts.
On the afternoon before Christmas Eve, Xiaoxiao, at work, suddenly felt an excruciating stomach pain. Unable to bear it, she asked for leave and left the company, realizing she didn’t know where the nearest hospital was despite passing by a thousand times.
Feeling helpless and in pain, she burst into tears. No matter how strong she appeared, she realized she was just a girl needing care.
Niko’s text arrived on time, providing an outlet for her grievances. For the first time, she called him, breaking her usual ladylike demeanor, crying and complaining about her pain.
In the end, it was his anxious guidance that got her to the hospital. She didn’t know she could be so clueless.
At the hospital, from registration to diagnosis to lying on a hospital bed receiving an IV, Niko kept calling and texting. Even the doctor joked, “Is that your boyfriend? He cares so much about you. He’s a good guy.”
Xiaoxiao nodded, about to explain, but swallowed her words. At that moment, any girl would prefer a moment of vanity.
Always mindful of her diet, she never thought she’d have appendicitis. When the doctor suggested surgery or conservative treatment the next day, she burst into tears.
Feeling lost, she called Niko. After a few rings, the prompt said the user was busy. She thought he would call back
