The President's Tender Trap

During his time abroad, Lu Ming experienced the richness and diversity of culture. Each new experience was overwhelming and led him to deeper reflections on life. Through communication with Su Wan, he shared these new discoveries with her, and their bond deepened through this cultural exchange.

"Su Wan, I attended a local festival celebration today. It was so lively!" Lu Ming said excitedly during the video call with a smile on his face.

"Oh, what festival is it?" Su Wan asked curiously, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.

"It's the Harvest Festival. They hold a parade in the streets, with people wearing traditional costumes and performing various dances. The atmosphere is really lively," Lu Ming said with excitement. "I even tried a local dance. Although I'm not very good at it, everyone was very friendly and encouraged me."

"That sounds really interesting! You must take a lot of photos to show me!" Su Wan responded, with the lively scene emerging in her mind.

"Of course! I took a lot of great photos." Lu Ming smiled, his eyes gleaming with warmth. He began to describe the details of the festival: the decorations lining the streets, the enthusiastic laughter, and the colorful parades.

"I've discovered that people here are very enthusiastic about celebrating festivals. They start preparing weeks in advance," Lu Ming continued. "And during the parade, everyone gives each other food. I also tried many local snacks, and the flavors were amazing!"

"You always find so many interesting things!" Su Wan exclaimed, a wave of longing in her heart. "I hope to experience these in person and participate in these activities with you."

"You'll definitely like it!" Lu Ming answered excitedly, his eyes gleaming with determination. "However, some of the customs here also surprised me."

"For example?" Su Wan asked curiously, wanting to know more.

"For example, during festivals, people sit together and share food and stories, rather than eating separately as we're used to," Lu Ming said. "This made me realize that cultural differences lie in people's attitudes toward life."

"Indeed," Su Wan nodded in agreement, pondering quietly. She recalled her own holiday celebrations back home, which always centered around sumptuous dinners and family reunions. However, Lu Ming's foreign experiences were centered around sharing and interaction.

"I find this kind of cultural collision very interesting," Lu Ming said, his voice full of excitement. "It has taught me how to better communicate with others and understand their ways of life."

"This will make you more open-minded in your future life!" Su Wan responded with a smile, her heart full of admiration. She understood that Lu Ming's life in a foreign country was not only an experience of new things, but also a deep understanding of life.

"I made another interesting discovery," Lu Ming continued. "People here are used to eating with their hands. Although I found it strange at first, I gradually adapted and found that eating this way is quite interesting."

"Eating with your hands? This is so novel!" Su Wan couldn't help laughing, "I can't imagine you eating with your hands."

"Haha, it was a little awkward at first, but once I got used to it, it felt natural," Lu Ming smiled, a warm glint in his eyes. "Through this experience, I've come to understand even more clearly that 'there's no such thing as superior or inferior culture.' Every culture has its own unique charm."

"You're right," Su Wan nodded earnestly in front of the screen, pondering inwardly. Their conversation made her realize that the clash of cultures isn't just about the blending of different customs; it's also about understanding and respecting each other's lifestyles.

In the following call, Lu Ming and Su Wan discussed how to integrate the two cultures in their future lives.

"If we live together in the future, I hope to combine your culture with my culture." Lu Ming said seriously, with a determined light in his eyes.

"Me too, Lu Ming." Su Wan responded with a smile, her heart full of anticipation. "We can learn from each other, share our traditions and customs, and make our lives more colorful."

"For example, during holiday celebrations, we could combine your family gatherings with my tradition of sharing," Lu Ming suggested, his eyes twinkling with creativity. "We could invite friends together, share food, swap stories, and create a new way to celebrate."

"That's a great idea!" Su Wan responded excitedly, her heart filled with anticipation for the future. "I can imagine the scene: we all sitting together, enjoying delicious food, sharing stories, and laughing."

"Also, I hope to incorporate some local elements into my daily life," Lu Ming continued. "For example, I can try making some local dishes at home and give you a surprise."

"That sounds so fun!" Su Wan said cheerfully, picturing Lu Ming busy in the kitchen. "I can also learn to cook some of your hometown dishes so we can enjoy them together!"

"We can have a cooking competition to see who cooks better." Lu Ming smiled mischievously, with a playful glint in his eyes.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to that time!" Su Wan couldn't help laughing out loud, her heart full of longing for the future.

Through these exchanges, Lu Ming and Su Wan's bond deepened. Not only did they share their respective cultural experiences, but their discussions also deepened their understanding and empathy for each other's lives. Through constant exploration and experimentation, their lives were filled with new possibilities.

"The collision of cultures has made us more open-minded and allowed us to better understand each other," Lu Ming said softly, his eyes gleaming with warmth. "I believe our future will be even brighter."

"I believe it too, Lu Ming." Su Wan smiled faintly, her heart filled with determination and expectation. Living in a foreign country, they found a deeper connection through the collision of cultures, bringing their hearts closer together during this journey.

As time went by, Lu Ming and Su Wan began to communicate more frequently. They shared their daily lives and explored cultural differences and integration. Each conversation was a spiritual encounter, strengthening their bond throughout this journey.

"One day in the future, we must experience these cultural collisions ourselves." Su Wan said seriously during a phone call, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.

"Yes, we will travel around the world together and experience the charm of different cultures." Lu Ming responded with a smile, his heart full of longing for the future.

Through these interactions, Lu Ming and Su Wan's lives became increasingly fulfilling. Through sharing and discussion, they gradually formed a common philosophy of life, laying a solid foundation for their future together. No matter how many challenges the future may bring, they will work together to embrace every beautiful moment of life.
