There is a Tongshu Alley in the south of the city. There is a store at each end of the alley - a cultural and creative store and a motorcycle repair shop. They face each other across the street and have different horoscopes.
Thirty-three-year-old Lin Haiyan is as sharp-tongued as a knife. Her daily hobby is to criticize others, argue with others, and make trouble for the boring guy in the car repair shop opposite. Thirty-two-year-old Yan Yan, as his name suggests, is boring, hard, and can't say a word for a long time. He can't name three people after living on the street for five years. His only social interaction is to quarrel with Haiyan.
She thinks he is rigid and has no vision, and he thinks she talks too much and makes trouble. They would choke each other when they met, and they would have a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. The whole street got used to it.
Until one rainy day, he put the umbrella into her arms and said "long-winded".
When her electric car had a flat tire, he helped her fix it for free after get off work, saying with a cold face, "Don't park in front of my door next time."
Until she was bullied, he stood silently in front of the store and scared the troublemaker away without saying a word.
He never said a soft word, never made a promise, never crossed the line. But her tires are always full of air, there is always someone to clear the debris in front of the store, and there is always someone following her on her way home every night.
She said: "Wooden, want a companion? If we don't get married, we won't be tied up, and if we don't live together, there won't be any trouble. We can just fight each other every day to relieve our boredom."
He thought for a long time and said, "Okay. But I won't change, cajole, cross the line, or say soft words."
This is a story about two people with tough mouths and soft hearts, using the stupidest way to give each other the most stable companionship.
There is no domineering president, no Cinderella counterattack, no bloody car accident and terminal illness, no cohabitation certificate wedding.
