The town in the early morning, quiet and peaceful. The sun shines through the sparse clouds and sprinkles every inch of land by the creek, giving the land a golden coat. Li Xiaozhi, an ordinary office worker, habitually comes to the river every day for a walk and enjoys this rare quiet time.
Recently, Li Xiaozhi's love life does not seem to be going well. The relationship between him and his girlfriend Xiaofang becomes delicate, and he often feels confused and uneasy. Today, he decided to come to the creek and try to clear his thoughts.
Li Xiaozhi sat on a stone by the river, watching the river flow slowly, but his heart was turbulent. He began to think back to the bits and pieces of himself and Xiaofang, trying to find the root of the problem. In the process, he realizes that Xiaofang's behavior seems to fit certain characteristics of "fake sex".
Li Xiaozhi recalled Xiaofang's attitude towards him, she always behaved very enthusiastically, but sometimes seemed a little cold. He remembers one time when he needed to work late because of work, but Xiaofang didn't show much care and support, instead complaining that he didn't have time to spend with her. This left him disappointed and confused.
In addition to this, Li Xiaozhi also found that Xiaofang often avoided some topics about the future. Whenever he mentioned topics such as getting married or buying a house, Xiaofang always changed the topic or perfunctory. This made him wonder if Xiao Fang really wanted to spend her life with him.
In the process of thinking, Li Xiaozhi gradually realized the seven manifestations of men's fake sex. He began to compare these performances with Xiaofang's behavior, and found many similarities.
The first manifestation is that there is only a focus on superficial care and enthusiasm, but a lack of real support and understanding. Although Xiao Fang is very enthusiastic about him on the surface, she often only stays on the surface and does not have an in-depth understanding of his inner needs.
The second manifestation is to avoid topics about the future and be unwilling to take responsibility. Xiao Fang always avoids discussions about the future, which makes him feel uneasy.
The third manifestation is that they turn a blind eye to their partner's shortcomings and shortcomings, and are unwilling to face and solve problems. Xiao Fang always seems to selectively ignore his shortcomings and shortcomings, which makes him feel very unappreciated.
The fourth manifestation is to focus only on your own feelings and needs, ignoring your partner's feelings. Xiao Fang only thinks about her own feelings and needs many times, ignoring his feelings.
The fifth manifestation is a lack of real communication and exchange, and always dealing with problems with silence or perfunctory. Xiaofang always chooses to avoid or perfunctory when facing problems, which makes him feel helpless.
The sixth manifestation is that the expectations of the partner are too high and the reluctance to accept the true state of the partner. Xiao Fang always seems to have high expectations of him and is unwilling to accept his true state.
The seventh manifestation is a lack of real commitment and responsibility, and an unwillingness to work hard for the future of the partner. Xiaofang's lack of real commitment and responsibility at many times made him feel very unsure.
Through comparison and analysis, Li Xiaozhi finally understood the problem between himself and Xiaofang. He realizes that Xiao Fang's love for him may just be a fake sex, lacking real understanding and support. This left him disappointed and distressed, but he also knew that he needed to make a decision about whether or not to continue the relationship.
By the river in the early morning, Li Xiaozhi made a difficult decision. He decided to communicate openly with Xiaofang once and tell her about his feelings and findings. He hopes that Xiaofang will seriously consider their relationship and make a wise choice. No matter what the outcome is, he hopes that he and Xiaofang can find true happiness.
