The programmer and his woman

I didn't follow her and rode home alone, but my anxiety and restlessness burned like a raging fire. The next day, right after class, I couldn't hold back my urge to find Xiaoxia. After saying hello to Teacher Qi, I immediately pushed my bike out and headed for her place. However, just as I was about to set off, the sky suddenly changed.

The originally clear sky was now covered with dark clouds and thunder rumbled, as if nature was brewing a huge storm. Judging from the situation, if it rained, it would definitely be a downpour. I hesitated, should I leave now, or wait until the rain stopped and the sky cleared? I anxiously looked at my watch, then looked up at the dark clouds, feeling conflicted.

Just as I was struggling, my phone suddenly vibrated and a text message came into view. I clicked it and saw the content that made my heart tighten - it was a voice message before parting. I was stunned for a moment. Could it be from Xiaoxia? Was she leaving? Or was she breaking up with me? I swallowed nervously and dialed the number provided in the text message with trembling fingers.

After the call was connected, I pressed the "1" button as prompted. Then, a familiar and gentle voice rang in my ears: "I thought about it for a long time last night, and I finally made a difficult decision. I'm sorry, I still choose to leave." Hearing this, my mind went blank, as if I was hit hard by something. Xiaoxia is gone? Is she really gone?

I no longer cared about the wind and rain outside, I jumped on my bike and rushed to Xiaoxia's residence. At this time, the thunder was even more deafening, as if it was going to tear the whole sky apart; the rain was also heavier, like countless silver needles pouring down from the sky, hitting my face and body, hurting me. But I no longer cared, I only had one thought in my mind - I want to find Xiaoxia!

The pedestrians on the street had long disappeared, leaving me alone riding in the rain. The rain flowed down my cheeks and mixed with my tears, making it difficult for me to see the road ahead. But I did not stop, because I knew that only when I found Xiaoxia could I feel at ease.

Finally, I rode to Xiaoxia's residence, panting, and banged on the door with all my strength, but all I got in response was silence. There was no movement from inside the door, and I realized that Xiaoxia had left. This fact hit me like a heavy hammer in the heart.

I sat powerlessly on the stairs, as if my body had been drained of energy. Tears, like a flood bursting through a dam, rolled down one by one, dripping silently onto the floor, each drop filled with my sorrow and pain.

I tried hard to control my emotions, but the grief in my heart was like a violent storm, making it hard for me to breathe. I finally gave up and burst into tears. My cries echoed in the empty corridor, and my voice became louder and louder, as if I wanted to vent all the pain.

Just then, I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. I realized that I had lost my composure. It was really embarrassing for a grown man to sit here and cry like this. But at this moment, I didn't care about that anymore. I just wanted to release my pain.

So I buried my head deeply between my knees, trying to hide my vulnerability. But my crying became even clearer, as if announcing my pain to the world.

I saw the man stop in front of me, his brows furrowed, as if he was puzzled about my condition.

"Is it Wang Dong?" he asked tentatively.

I looked up and saw that it was Xiaoxia. She hadn't left and was still here. I was filled with indescribable excitement and joy. I quickly stood up and hugged her tightly in my arms.

"Xiao Xia, don't go!" I almost choked as I said this, tears welling up in my eyes again.

Xiaoxia was startled by my sudden action. She struggled and said, "Oh, you are soaked. Let me go first. What's wrong with you? Come, let's go inside and talk."

Only then did I realize that I had lost my composure and let go of her awkwardly.

"Oh, yes, let's talk inside." I responded hurriedly, pulled her into the house and closed the door.

Sitting in the house, I still couldn't calm down. I held Xiaoxia's hand tightly, fearing that she would leave me.

"Xiao Xia, I can't lose you, please don't leave me, okay?" I said almost begging.

Xiaoxia looked at me with confusion in her eyes: "What's wrong with you? When did I say I wanted to leave you?"

I realized my misunderstanding and quickly took out my wet phone. Fortunately, the phone was protected by a cover, so the inside was not wet and could still be used normally. I quickly flipped through the text messages and found the voice message, and opened it to show Xiaoxia.

"This is not sent by me." Xiaoxia said in surprise after reading it.

I carefully checked the text message again, and sure enough, it was not Xiaoxia's mobile number, but an unfamiliar short number. I realized that this might be a scam, so I immediately called the operator's customer service number.

After the call was connected, I described the situation in detail. The customer service staff immediately apologized and explained: "Sir, I am very sorry for the trouble you have caused. This text message is actually a deceptive text message sent by a value-added service provider. When the user calls back, a certain fee will be deducted. We have received many similar complaints today and have punished this value-added service provider accordingly. We will also return the fees deducted from you today as soon as possible."

After listening to the customer service staff's explanation, I was completely dumbfounded. It turned out that this was all a scam, and I was the one who was deceived. I cried several times because of this. I was immediately filled with anger and cursed the value-added service provider for being so unethical.

Xiaoxia looked at me in such a mess and couldn't help laughing. She said while laughing: "Wang Dong, you care about me so much, don't worry, I won't leave. But you see your clothes are all wet, take them off quickly, otherwise you will catch a cold."

I then realized that my clothes were still wet and sticking to my body, and a chill came over me. I unzipped my backpack and checked my computer bag. Fortunately, the computer bag was made of waterproof material, and the computer and documents inside were not wet at all, which made me feel a little relieved.

"Go to the bathroom, take off your clothes and take a hot shower. I'll turn on the water heater for you." Xiaoxia said with concern.

I nodded, quickly took off my wet clothes, and went into the bathroom. The hot water poured over my body, and I felt comfortable and warm. I didn't feel cold just now because of the tension and running, but now I found that my body was already cold after pouring hot water on it.

Just as I was enjoying the comfort of the hot bath, Xiaoxia pushed the door open and came in. She held my wet clothes in her hands and said, "Where are the clothes? Throw them over here and I'll rinse them with clean water for you, otherwise they will go bad in a while."

Ah~! I suddenly realized that I was still standing naked in the bathroom, and I couldn't help but yelled awkwardly: "You go out first, I have no clothes on."

Xiaoxia didn't seem to care. She covered her mouth and smiled: "Why are you like a woman? It's not like I haven't seen your private parts before." Although her words were a bit rude, I could feel her concern and intimacy for me.

I thought about what she meant, and suddenly remembered the embarrassing scene in school. Yes, when the skinny guy was stripped of my pants, it was Xiaoxia who put them on for me. A girl could do such a thing for me, I should have taken the initiative to confess to her a long time ago. Thinking of this, I was moved. Just as I was thinking about my own things, I heard Xiaoxia shouting: "Wang Dong, throw all your clothes in this box and put it at the door. I will take it later." Xiaoxia pointed to the laundry basket next to her and said. I followed her instructions, put the wet clothes in the basket, and then took a towel from the box she handed over.

I dried myself with a towel and suddenly thought of a question: "I'm done washing, but what should I wear?" I asked awkwardly.

Xiaoxia seemed to be prepared. She picked up a piece of clothing and said, "Oh, yes, why don't you wear my clothes."

"You're so thin, how can I wear your clothes?" I was a little skeptical.

"Don't I have baggy clothes?" She pointed to a baggy piece of clothing in the closet.

I took the clothes and tried them on, but found that they were still a little small and I couldn't wear them.

"Then try this one." Xiaoxia took out another one.

I tried again, but it still didn't work and I couldn't lift it up.

"I only have these few pieces of clothes. If this one doesn't work, then you'll have to come out naked. I have no clothes to give you anyway." Xiaoxia spread her hands, expressing helplessness.

I picked up the last piece of clothing and found it was a dress. I smiled awkwardly and said, "It's a dress."

"It's just this one thing, you decide for yourself." Xiaoxia seemed a little helpless.

I hesitated for a moment, but finally put the dress on. It didn't fit me well, but it was barely wearable.

"Hahaha, what you're wearing is so funny." Xiaoxia looked at me and couldn't help laughing.

I touched my nose a little embarrassedly: "Stop, stop laughing, it's all your fault, why are you still laughing?"

Xiaoxia walked up to me and patted my head gently: "It's all your fault that you're so stupid. You still blame me. Hahahaha."

I looked at her helplessly: "You are still smiling, isn't it because I care about you too much?"

Xiaoxia suddenly stopped, looked at me seriously, and then kissed me on the face: "Don't worry, dear, I now know how you feel about me. You care about me so much, I will never leave you, and I will never say I want to leave you again. I promise you."

I felt her tenderness and a warm feeling surged in my heart.

Xiaoxia suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Wang Dong, do you have classes tomorrow?"

"Yeah." I nodded.

"I don't know if these clothes can be dried in this way. If they can't be dried, you will have to wear a skirt to go to school to give lectures tomorrow, hahahaha." Xiaoxia started teasing me again.

I looked at her helplessly: "You... are making fun of me again, right?"

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Xiaoxia patted my shoulder and continued, "Since you are like this now, I have no choice but to keep you here. Come cook with me later, and I will let you taste my cooking skills."

Xiaoxia's busy figure in the kitchen always makes people admire her. She is skilled and every movement is so smooth, as if she is playing a silent movement. This agile way of working is undoubtedly closely related to her participation in housework since she was a child. Under her hands, delicious dishes are quickly formed, exuding tempting aromas, as if telling her story.

I walked to the dining table and couldn't wait to taste the food Xiaoxia cooked. The delicious taste instantly filled my mouth, and I couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh, Xiaoxia, your cooking skills are really good. Every dish is so delicate and tastes so wonderful, it's simply amazing."

Hearing my praise, Xiaoxia smiled faintly. But then she sighed again, as if she was lost in some memories. She said softly, "Yes, I have been helping my family cook since I was a child. At that time, I was only six or seven years old, and I had already started to try to be busy in the kitchen. In addition to cooking, I also had to work in the fields and do almost all the housework. If you can marry me, you can enjoy your life."

I listened to Xiaoxia's story silently, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of respect in my heart. I smiled and said, "Just for your cooking skills, I must marry you home as my wife."

However, my words seemed to bring back Xiaoxia's sad memories. She lowered her head and was silent for a while before she said, "Actually, sometimes when I think of those days, I still feel a little sad. But I also understand that those experiences made me stronger and more independent."

I tried to change the subject so that Xiaoxia would not be immersed in the sad mood. I asked: "By the way, Xiaoxia, have you used the notebook I bought for you? How do you feel about it? Is it easy to use?"

Xiaoxia raised her head, a smile flashed in her eyes. She said, "Yes, I used it. I even used it to watch some movies yesterday. There were so many weird movies on it that I couldn't watch them all."

I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard this. I smiled and said, "Oh, really? That laptop is an old one I bought in a hurry. If you feel that the system is not working well or there are any other problems, please tell me at any time and I will reinstall the system or replace it with a new one."

Xiaoxia looked at Wang Dong, a trace of concern flashing in her eyes. She said softly: "Wang Dong, it looks like your clothes will take some time to dry. I'm afraid you'll have to stay at my place tonight."

I stared into Xiaoxia's eyes and asked softly, "Xiaoxia, there is only one bed and one quilt here. We have to sleep together. You don't mind, do you?"

A blush appeared on Xiaoxia's face. She lowered her head and whispered softly, "Didn't you say you would marry me?" Her voice was a little shy, but also full of determination.

I smiled, looked at her lovingly, and replied, "Yes, Xiaoxia, I will marry you. I will protect you with all my love forever."

Xiaoxia raised her head, tears sparkling in her eyes. She smiled and said, "It's okay, since I'm yours, let's sleep together." Her voice was full of trust and dependence.

We slept in each other's arms, and the sound of each other's heartbeats was particularly clear in the silent night. I gently kissed Xiaoxia's forehead, and her hair exuded a faint fragrance that intoxicated me.

Xiaoxia snuggled in my arms and asked softly, "Wang Dong, will we love each other forever like this?" Her voice was full of expectations and longings for the future.

I nodded vigorously and replied, "Yes, we will love each other forever. No matter how many difficulties and challenges there are in the future, I will hold your hand tightly and face them together."

After hearing this, Xiaoxia's eyes sparkled with happiness. She hugged me tightly, as if she wanted to merge me into her body. She asked again, "You won't abandon me, right?"

I held her hand tightly and said firmly: "Don't worry, Xiaoxia. I will always protect you until the day we get married. You will be my bride, Wang Dong, and I will give you a happy home."

Witnessed by the moonlight, we made a promise to each other. At that moment, time seemed to stand still, with only the sound of our heartbeats and each other's breathing echoing in the room. We hugged each other tightly and fell into a sweet dream together.
