Chen Xi thought she was going to marry a gentle and honest man and live a stable life. Until she met Xiao Duo at the pet hospital.
This man, twelve years older than her, was wearing a well-tailored dark gray cashmere coat, but he was squatting on the ground clumsily picking bird food for her parrot. The brothers called him "Brother Xiao", but he asked her with red ears: "Xiaoxi, the color of this sweater... Do you like it?"
Later, Chen Xi learned that this "uncle" who was vigorous and resolute in the outside world had her mobile phone filled with her social updates, and her wardrobe was full of "ideal outfits" that she had casually praised. He responded to every message instantly, stayed up late to learn how to cook her favorite dishes, and even bravely competed with two parrots in order to fit into her life.
"Am I getting old?" Xiao Duo pressed her forehead against hers and asked in a muffled voice during a certain emotional moment, "Still not good enough?"
Chen Xi smiled and kissed his Adam's apple: "Just right, Mr. Xiao."
——It turns out that the best love is when he waits for you to grow up over the years, and you melt him with tenderness.
Concept: The age difference is not a barrier, but a romantic footnote for both directions; true maturity is the courage to take off the disguise for love and be the softest person for each other.
