Nice to meet you, the beginning of a "sweet trap".
In 2018, a friend organized a dinner party, and Wu Xie and Tian Zhen met like this.
Wu Xie, 29 years old, programmer, monthly salary of 50,000, with a car and a house, good conditions. Tian Zhen, 21 years old, working at a milk tea shop, youthful and beautiful, can still look good without makeup.
The first time they met, Wu Xie went straight to the point:
When your friend sent me the photo, I fell for you. I didn't expect you to be even more exquisite in person than in the photo.
Tianzhen smiled innocently, "That photo is without makeup, today I'm wearing makeup."
Wu Xie doesn't beat around the bush: "If I don't mind my ordinary looks, I'm willing to spend half of my income on you. You don't have to work or do housework, and I'm willing to spend time with you."
Tianzhen nodded, "Enough sincerity, we can get to know each other more."
Cohabitation life, the dual consumption of sweetness and money
One month later, Tianzhen resigned.
She sent Wu Xie a message: "I quit, you promised to support me."
Wu Xie was delighted in his heart: "Great, come and live with me!"
Tianzhen was also straightforward, directly sending him the Taobao shopping cart: 'These are all things I need to use after moving, fill in your address.'
Wu Xie took a look, and the shopping cart was filled with everything from skincare products to household items, with a total price of 58,000. Without hesitation, he directly clicked to pay on behalf.
After living together, Tianzhen was indeed not idle.
She signed up for personal training classes at the gym, sculpting her abs; learned yoga, improving her temperament; also joined a dance class, making her figure even more charming. Her makeup skills have advanced rapidly, transforming from a pure girl next door to an exquisite goddess. Wu Xie took her out to socialize with friends, and she always became the center of attention, satisfying her vanity to the fullest.
But here's the problem: Wu Xie's monthly salary is 50,000, and he used to be able to save 40,000, but now he's starting to eat into his savings.
He was thinking to himself, "I have to get married quickly, otherwise when my savings run out, how can I marry her?"
The collision of reality and ideal in marriage negotiation
Wu Xie decided to come clean: "Let's set the wedding date, I'm almost 30, it's time to settle down."
Tian Zhen shook her head naively, "Having a baby will affect my figure, I don't want to."
Wu Xie took a step back and said, 'Let's get married first, and whether or not to have children can be discussed later.'
Tianzhen still refuses: "Don't get married, aren't we doing well now? Are you afraid I will run away?"
Wu Xie was anxious: 'With monthly expenses exceeding income, my savings will be depleted sooner or later. How can I marry you then?'
Tian Zhen comforted him, "I don't want a dowry, don't worry. A company recently approached me to be an entertainment anchor, I'll give it a try, maybe it can help reduce your pressure."
The rise of live streaming, the balance of love begins to tilt
In 2019, Tianzhen officially started working as a livestreaming anchor.
She was born beautiful, and with the temperament and talent cultivated by Wu Xie, her account's performance is not bad. Soon, she gained the support of Big Brother Bang Yi, and her income steadily increased.
In 2020, the epidemic broke out, and Wu Xie's company faced suspension of payment, while Tianzhen was thriving in live streaming at home. She sweetly shouted "Thank you, Brother Wang, for the rocket" in front of the camera. Meanwhile, Wu Xie's company was downsizing, and he could always hear "Some attention from the family" coming from the living room while squatting in the toilet debugging.
The most heartbreaking thing is last year's class reunion:
Tianzhen is wearing the Chanel he bought, but sitting in Bangyi's Porsche waving: "Wu Xie, you go back first, I will go to the Bund with the fans for the second round of photos."
All her emotional value has been given to List One, List Two, and List Three. Where else does she have the energy to give to Wu Xie?
Wu Xie felt uncomfortable in his heart, but Tianzhen said, "I am still young and don't want to get married."
After the breakup, the harsh reality and growth
In 2021, Wu Xie proposed marriage again, but Tianzhen still refused.
Wu Xie finally understood: this relationship has been unequal from the beginning. He invested money, time, and emotions, while Tianzhen kept growing, eventually surpassing him.
After the breakup, Wu Xie's work became busier and busier, but he couldn't make money no matter how busy he was. He dared not invest in emotions again until he met a girl who liked him.
He said to me, "Bro, I don't have much feeling for her, but I guess she's the only choice. When I get married, I'll invite you to the wedding."
I comforted him, "During those years, when you were with Tianzhen, there was always a smile on your face. It's not a loss to spend money to buy happiness. Don't think that you are the only one who is a lickspittle; lickspittles are everywhere in this world. You are the lickspittle of your goddess, and your goddess might be someone else's lickspittle. Look, isn't there someone actively licking you by your side?"
The ultimate truth of human nature and reality, love.
Turning 30, I, just like Wu Xie, can't accept this reality: this is just a love scam!
But when I turn 40, I feel like this kind of innocent girl, please arrange a dozen for me. When they become better and more popular because of me, and can take the lead, I take the initiative to leave. After all, people go up, water flows down. Love is very realistic, and people will only fall in love with someone better than themselves. So just follow their human nature, see through it, and don't get caught up in gains and losses.
Maybe ten years later, when they recall the time when they first entered the society and met that "little silly bear", they will say with emotion: "He was really nice to me, I wonder how he is doing now, I kind of miss him."
At the age of 33, Wu Xie is preparing to register for marriage with the blind date girl: "She insists on going Dutch, saying that modern women should be independent." He said this while staring at his phone, and the screen saver was still a photo of him naively burning the steak in the kitchen three years ago.
【Blood and Tears Lesson】
Don't easily say "I'll support you": you can afford to support someone, but not their heart. You think you're supporting your girlfriend, but you're actually helping someone else support their wife.
Love is not an investment: the money and time you put in may not necessarily bring equivalent returns.
Growth is two-way: if one side is growing rapidly while the other remains stagnant, the relationship will inevitably become imbalanced.
Marriage is a reality: love without material foundation is like a house without a foundation, it will collapse as soon as the wind blows.
【Awakening in the World】
At the age of 20, I feel that true love is invincible
Discovered ATM will expire at 30 years old
At the age of 40, I finally understand that the essence of marriage and love is value matching.
