I am 26 years old and live alone. I always feel like someone is following me when I go home recently. When I found out the truth, I was surprised and happy!
01
I am Xiaoqing. I am 26 years old. I have been studying and working in this city for 8 years. My hometown is more than 2,000 kilometers away from the city where I live now.
In my family, my father is a civil servant and my mother is a doctor. There is also a brother who is a soldier. Ever since I was a child, I have been a good girl in the eyes of my family, the apple of their eye. I am 1.65 meters tall and weigh 55 kilograms. My appearance is above average. Because of his introverted personality, he feels gentle and shy.
When I graduated from college, my parents wanted me to return to them. But I used to be very obedient, but I insisted on staying in this city for the sake of my first local boyfriend. Because of this, I had troubles with my family during that time.
Unfortunately, I insisted on staying, and our relationship still did not come to an end. After working for two years, we separated due to various reasons. I've been sad about this for a long time. I feel like I stayed for him and made a huge sacrifice. Why didn't I get the ending I wanted? I can't understand!
02
When my parents learned about my breakup, they did not blame me. Instead, they persuaded me to return to my hometown to work and live. At this time, my mind has gradually matured. I feel that everything I have been arranged by my parents since I was a child.
I haven't even dealt with difficulties and problems. Now I have to walk my own path in life, and I have to face and bear the wind and rain by myself. I can't rely on my parents all my life, so I decided to stay.
After several years of hard work, I finally adapted and established myself in this city. I recently changed my job with a monthly salary of 15,000. In order to facilitate my work, I decided to move to a community close to my workplace.
After more than a week of searching, I finally found a more suitable community about 2 kilometers away from the company. The price and location of the house felt quite suitable, so I decided to rent it.
After several days of moving and packing, I can finally lie down in bed and have a good sleep. I feel that my life is getting better and better, even my dreams are sweet dreams. But less than a month after moving in, some strange things happened around me.
03
In the community where I live, some are resettled households and some are commercial housing. Because it is located in a prime location, the land area has been fully utilized by the developer. Each floor has 4 staircases and 16 households. During rush hours, the elevators are often crowded and take a long time. Although the property in
community is said to be in good condition, it is a bit old after all, and some facilities are not in perfect condition. For example, the lights in the public areas sometimes do not light up, and the cameras seem to be good and bad.
The owner of the house I rented just renovated it a year ago. The style is more suitable for my taste. The furniture and appliances inside are all new. So I don’t really care about the community environment, and I don’t have many social activities. I am a homebody who only works between 2:00 and 1:00 every day, and I spend a lot of time at home.
It was quite normal when I first moved in. Every day in the elevator, I heard neighbors talking about their children, women discussing food prices and beauty treatments, and elderly people talking about where to get free eggs nearby...
Anyway, I wear a mask every day, so you can’t see my expression; if you don’t like listening, I put on headphones. I don't like to care about them, and I don't want to be bothered by them.
But these days, when I walk through the dimly lit corridor from the elevator to my home, I feel as if someone is following me, and I always feel like a pair of eyes are peeping at me.

I thought it was my illusion before, but this feeling became stronger and stronger later.There was even a time when a cat suddenly crossed in front of me, startling me. I rushed home in panic and locked the door. When I looked out through the cat's eye, there was no one there.
This situation lasted for a week or two, leaving me unable to eat or sleep. I didn’t dare to tell my parents, and I didn’t have any friends around me to talk to. After much deliberation, I could only find the property office and try to find some clues from the surveillance video.
Community Property Management received me warmly, and in order to eliminate my worries, they allowed me to review the videos of the past few days. The security captain accompanied me to watch videos from multiple cameras in different locations for more than an hour, and finally found some clues.
In the elevator and in the corridor, there always seemed to be an old man with white hair. The security captain looked carefully and identified the old man as Uncle Zhang, who lived above me. Captain
gave me a brief introduction to Uncle Zhang. He is a relocation household in this community. He is a very nice person and has a good family environment. He lives with his wife and only daughter. His daughter died unexpectedly in a car accident three years ago. Since then, his wife has become a little confused.
After listening to this, I asked the captain if he could take me to find Uncle Zhang. The captain thought for a while and agreed. What I didn’t expect was that something unexpected happened during this visit.

The captain knocked on Uncle Zhang’s door, and it was Uncle Zhang who opened the door. Uncle Zhang saw an incredible look in my eyes. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Uncle Zhang welcomed us in.
Uncle Zhang’s home is quite clean, and everything is neatly placed. It can be seen that the owner is a very attentive and meticulous person who loves cleanliness. Uncle Zhang's wife was sitting on a chair near the balcony, looking outside in a daze. Out of politeness, I walked over to say hello to her.
But when she saw me, her dull expression suddenly turned into excitement. She stood up and wanted to hug me, muttering: "Daughter, you are back." This unexpected situation startled me, and I quickly hid a few meters away. At this time, the captain and Uncle Zhang followed.
Uncle Zhang quickly said sorry to me, then went to comfort his wife and sent her back to the room to rest. It took a while before he came out. I was very surprised why such a situation happened, so I looked at Uncle Zhang. The captain's eyes were also full of curiosity. Uncle Zhang was silent for a long time before slowly telling the truth.

It turns out that my feeling these days is not wrong. Someone is indeed following me, and the person following me is Uncle Zhang, and the reason for following me is because I look too much like his deceased daughter. In order to verify this statement, Uncle Zhang turned around and took out a photo of his daughter. I saw that it indeed looked like me and was of the same age.
Uncle Zhang continued, that day when he was in the elevator, he accidentally saw my face and couldn’t believe his eyes. There were other people in this world who looked so similar to me. He was not sure, so he waited for me to come back from get off work at a fixed time for several days, wanting to see what I looked like and where I lived.
And the sudden change of face of my wife just now was also because she thought she saw her daughter. After saying this, Uncle Zhang apologized to me and said, "Girl, I'm sorry for disturbing your life."
I quickly said, "It doesn't matter, I just know the reason now." After another word, Uncle Zhang said he would not disturb me again in the future. I didn't know how to respond to him, so I left with the captain.
I thought the matter was over here. Unexpectedly, a few days later, Uncle Zhang knocked on my door with some fruit gifts. I quickly welcomed him in and asked him what happened this time. Uncle Zhang hesitated for a long time before speaking.
He said that since my wife saw me last time, my expression has become much clearer and I can talk to him normally.Uncle Zhang came up with an idea to see if he could establish a special relationship with me, such as asking me to be his goddaughter to help his wife recover.
After hearing this, I felt a little hesitant. I didn’t know whether I should agree or not. I had no specific ideas, but when I saw Uncle Zhang and his wife, who were about the same age as my parents, I couldn’t bear to refuse. So I told Uncle Zhang that I would discuss it with my family, and Uncle Zhang also looked very embarrassed.
After saying a few words, Uncle Zhang turned around and left. I asked him to take the gifts, fruits, and gifts away, but he insisted and refused. Everyone said that in the face of such a situation, should I agree or should I not agree?
I think you should first ask your parents for their opinions. Secondly, if this matter can help others and you have the ability to do it, I think you can consider helping. After all, doing one good deed a day is what everyone should do, and it can be regarded as doing good deeds for yourself. It seems that Uncle Zhang is also a kind person, and your acquaintance is also a kind of fate. Are you right?
