At the age of twenty-six, Liu Tinglan was laid off.
The same week, my ex-boyfriend who had disappeared for three years sent a text message: "Are you okay?"
——The man who once grabbed her by the neck and pinned her against the library wall.
She blocked him, deleted his emails, and went on a blind date.
The blind date's name is Gu Yunshu. He didn't say much and didn't cross the line. He walked her to the subway entrance and turned around and left.
He just said this when she said "I want to go to Korea but I'm afraid of being alone":
"A person who is afraid of a strange environment but still wants to go, shows that you are quite brave in nature."
Liu Tinglan was stunned for a moment.
It turns out that someone can talk like this - without possessing, without judging, without making you feel like there is something wrong with you.
Later her sister called:
"Sister, he pushed me. But he said he didn't mean it..."
Liu Tinglan held the phone and suddenly smiled. Smiling, eyes wet.
She told her sister:
"It's not normal to do it. Sister Xin, I've been through it."
This is the story of an ordinary girl emerging from the ruins.
She had been hurt, denied, pinched, and doubted whether she really couldn't do anything well.
But she still got here.
Standing in the autumn wind, holding a silver bookmark in his hand.
There is a line of small words engraved on the back of the bookmark:
"Be like a bird that flies to your mountain."
This is not a cool novel, but a real, slow and healing growth story.
There is no golden finger, just an ordinary girl who finally learned to choose for herself at the age of twenty-seven.
Intent: No abuse, no cruelty, just a story about a girl slowly becoming sober. If you have ever doubted whether you are "thinking too much" in a relationship, this article is for you.
