There was once a friend around who patted his chest and predicted that Gao Lu might be an old girl for life.
The result was so angry that Gao Lu ran out crying on the spot.
But in a few days, when she appeared in front of us with her new boyfriend, everyone was stunned.
The picture is so beautiful that it's a little too hot for the eyes.
This is not the legendary most cute height difference, 18 centimeters difference.
Gao Lu is 180, while her new boyfriend is 162.
When they stand together, Gao Lu looks like a tall man, while the man beside her looks like a petite woman.
When Gao Lu opened her mouth, she immediately broke our impression of her again. Her original rough voice began to learn to converge, with a bit of a little girl's accent and we introduced, "This is my boyfriend, He Shen."
He Shen gave us a slight smile, although he was not tall, but he was also a good-looking man, with a deep dimple at the corner of his mouth.
The guys hadn't gotten over it yet, but they were blinded by their tightly interlocked fingers.
Daho beside me tugged on my clothes and whispered, "It's over, I guess this pair is a bitter lovebirds again, Gao Lu's mom's vision, she hates to find a son-in-law like Yao Ming."
I smiled and didn't reply, I just saw that when Gao Lu and He Shen were together, their eyes couldn't hide the sparkle, as if in their eyes, they could only see each other.
As well as, the fearlessness of the future.

The story of how they met was told by He Shen after we got him drunk at the party.
He said their first encounter was on an airplane.
At that time, He Shen was trying to put a baggage into the upper cabinets of the airplane, but he was not tall enough to put a little bit of effort, like an awkward clown bouncing around.
Two young girls saw him standing on his tiptoes and couldn't help but laugh, and the more they laughed, the louder they laughed.
And He Shen's face was so anxious that he was sweating and red, not knowing what to do.
Gao Lu walked over and put the luggage properly with one backhand, then she leaned over and looked at the two girls expressionlessly and said, "Is it funny?"
Gao Lu is tall, the two girls' laughter was stuck in their throats, feeling cold, as if the air instantly solidified, cold to the extreme, lowered their heads have not dared to raise.
Later it was He Shen who came out and rounded off the scene, only to make the atmosphere less awkward.
Gao Lu and He Shen were sitting next to each other, He Shen had been peeking with his afterglow, and happened to bump into Gao Lu's line of sight, and couldn't help but feel his cheeks reddening, and his brain hadn't thought of how to explain his peeking behavior, but his mouth couldn't wait for a sentence to pop out:
"I really thanked you for just now."
Gao Lu's big hand waved handsomely and laughed: "You're welcome, I've also been laughed at a lot, boldly dislike back is the king."
When it comes to height pain, the two seem to open the box, from early childhood to adolescence to adulthood, and finally to the excitement of the chat, Gao Lu big hand a clap legs, simply hate to saw off their own half of the leg to give He Shen.
After a flash of consternation, He Shen laughed, the corner of his eye can not hide and overflow of joy.
Looking at Gao Lu laughing heartlessly, inexplicably some heartache. Although she is like a hedgehog full of thorns, but all the thorns are only grown after being stabbed countless times.
The two of them left each other's WeChat on the airplane, but because they live too far apart, they have not had the opportunity to see each other again.
It's just that every time He Shen looked at the messages sent by Gao Lu and the various quirky emoticons, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The second time they met was on the roadside at night.
Gao Lu had just come out from a friend's party and was sitting alone on the roadside. He Shen drove by, glimpsed a familiar figure, his eyes lit up, and the car immediately stopped.
As soon as Gao Lu saw He Shen, she could not hold back her tears anymore, and her eyes flowed with a swish. He Shen was so anxious that he quickly took out a tissue and gave it to her, patting her back to comfort her.
Gao Lu asked while crying, "He Shen, do you think I will be an old girl for life?"
He Shen frowned and said, "Of course not, there are still many people who like you."
"Like what?"
"For example, me."
Gao Lu thought her ears were out of order and stopped crying at once, not even realizing that the tissue had fallen to the floor.
As soon as she looked up, a soft thing covered her lips, and nothing could come out of her mouth, and all the whimpering was swallowed back into her stomach.
Later, He Shen, who was drunk, said to us, "I didn't know why I did it, but I just wanted to tell her that she wouldn't be an old girl for the rest of her life, because I was there."
Gao Lu sat on the sidelines, his eyes softly looking at him, full of happiness.
As a result, all of us who wanted to hear the gossip were force-fed a wave of dog food.

But also, as Da Wo said, the first day the two announced their romance to their family, they were strongly opposed by both parents.
Gao Lu's mom saw her daughter find a boyfriend who was shorter than a girl, and directly invited He Shen out, and went home to do a good job of thinking to her daughter.
On the other hand, He Shen's mother is not an oil lamp, she knows that her son is not high enough, she thought to find a girl of about the same height to live, who knows that his son found a higher than their own girl, no matter whether they are standing or sitting together, the more you look at the heart is more uncomfortable.
Three or four times let the son must break up, but He Shen did not listen to anything, how to do still how to do, the old mother angry almost hospitalized.
Gao Lu's mother secretly arranged a number of blind dates, until Gao Lu arrived at the scene only to find that it was tricked again.
Luckily, the other person saw her height and asked, "Miss, how tall are you?"
If the previous dating object so asked, she will be very embarrassed to answer, but now, she not only quickly said 180, but also specially wear a pair of high heels, height of 190, scared dating object before the beginning of the order to beat the drum.
All the matchmakers called Gao's mom and advised her not to fool around, it's good to have someone accept your daughter these days.
Gao's mom was so worried every day that she wanted to marry off her daughter, except for He Shen.
One night, Gao's mom came back from a square dance and found Gao Lu and He Shen sitting on a stone bench in the park, and when she wanted to rush up to separate the two, she found that there was still a little bit of orange light between them.
He Shen held the cake up in front of Gao Lu and said to her with a smile, "Xiao Lu, make a wish."
Gao Lu smiled happily, smiling like a noble princess.
This is the first time since Gao Lu became an adult that Gao's mom has seen her smile so sweetly.
In fact, what kind of son-in-law do you really want?
Nothing more than what her daughter likes.
When they were sitting in the living room the next night, Gao's mom suddenly said, "Let Xiao He come to the house for dinner tomorrow."
Gao Lu froze for a full five minutes before reacting, and couldn't help but give Gao mom a kiss on the cheek, then immediately ran into the room to tell He Shen the good news.

After solving Gao Lu's mom, the hardest thing to handle is still He Shen's mother.
He Shen's mother fell in the bathroom and hurt her leg, Gao Lu heard about it and rushed over from work.
As soon as she saw Gao Lu, the old mother's anger came to a head. She not only threw all the supplements she had sent to the ground, but also gambled and didn't even look at Gao Lu.
The other patients in the ward looked at each other, and could not say anything, just looked at Gao Lu so a tall man carefully nestled in the corner of the ward, did not dare to say a word.
Until He Shen rushed here after working overtime, he saw Gao Lu sitting alone in the corner asleep, full of heartache.
Grabbing her slightly cold hand and putting it to his mouth, he said, "It's all my fault, letting you suffer."
Originally, Gao Lu did not think of crying, listening to him say so, suddenly red eyes, looking at his continuous overtime haggard face, some difficult.
She knows that he works very hard, due to the lack of appearance, lost a lot of opportunities for external performance, so he can rely on hard work to get everything, he will firmly grasp.
Of course, including love.
Gao Lu still rushed to the hospital every day after work, followed by the nurses busy, long time, even the other patients in the ward are a little moved, began to persuade He Shen's mother, there is such a capable daughter-in-law is not satisfied ah?
But He Shen's mother was stubborn and refused to let go, and also refused to give Gao Lu a good face, but her attitude was not so tough compared to before.
On the day his mother was discharged from the hospital, He Shen had something to do, and Gao Lu carried her on his back to the old suite on the eighth floor.
After settling down, Gao Lu was ready to leave, and she hoped that He Shen's mother would open her mouth and call her, even if it was a polite word, but until the door was closed, there was no movement at all behind her.
She ran into He Shen downstairs, who was ready to go upstairs, and her nose suddenly became sore, but she desperately tried to hold back the tears.
She asked, "He Shen, if your mom doesn't like me all the time, what am I going to do?"
He Shen did not say anything, and took Gao Lu to eat spicy crawfish in the neighborhood, lobster is very spicy, spicy Gao Lu a snot and a tear, to the end do not know whether the tears are spicy or crying out, just Gao Lu hugged He Shen for a long, long time, cried into tears.
He Shen said, "Xiao Lu, don't look at my shoulders are not broad, but also for you to block all the unbearable, we will definitely be together."
Gao Lu looked at He Shen, her heart was as warm as soaking in mild lemonade, but it was sour.
Without saying a word, she hugged He Shen's head and kissed him.

On the day of the follow-up visit, He Shen and Gao Lu accompanied his old mother to the hospital. When the doctor saw Gao Lu and He Shen together, he laughed and joked, "Aigoo, you are finally willing to accept this daughter-in-law? It's really hard for the girl."
Gao Lu was immediately shocked out of a cold sweat, not knowing what hurtful words He Shen's mother would say again, and hurriedly pulled He Shen's sleeve to let him round.
Who knows, before He Shen could speak, his mother leisurely spoke, "Such a filial daughter-in-law, of course I want it."
He Shen breathed a long sigh of relief, but Gao Lu on the side was instantly petrified.
She couldn't believe her ears, and froze for half a day before grabbing He Shen's mom's hand and asking, "Auntie, you really don't oppose us anymore? And you don't mind my height anymore?"
He Shen's mom was a little embarrassed, good face, not good to say anything straight, just shook Gao Lu's hand heavily, said: "Something we go home to talk about."
Gao Lu nodded, tears in her eyes, but her face is smiling.

The wedding of He Shen and Gao Lu was held in a small restaurant, which was not luxurious or extravagant, but it was decorated with special warmth.
Before the wedding, a few of our friends secretly asked He Shen's mother how she agreed to their marriage.
The old mother couldn't help wiping her tears at the memory, but she only said:
"My son said that only Gao Lu, could give him the remaining 18 centimeters to make him feel that he is not 162, but 180."
We were shocked to see that the boy was still so good at love talk.
But when they were seen walking onto the stage holding hands, everyone's eyes were moist.
He Shen said to Gao Lu, "Thank you for giving me 18 centimeters of confidence to love you."
Gao Lu said to He Shen: "As long as I like, even shorter you, you are also my covered hero."
162 groom, 180 bride.
But none of us think they are not worthy.
