If love can be booked

Tuesday was sunny, with no extra clouds in the sky. Occasionally I looked up at the scenery downstairs. There were not many cars on the street, but there were still crowds of people. On the TV wall opposite, it was written that on October 22, so-and-so got married... October 24? October 24th in the lunar calendar... Suddenly, tears welled up in my eyes. Today was his birthday.

It turned out to be October 24th, it was October 24th. His smile, the big locust tree, the tree was still there, but what about him?

Get up, bewildered, and leave the office...

Where did he go? Where is he? He left her and went away... He is no longer in her life... Su Yu, I wish you a happy birthday...

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the dessert shop. Oh, his birthday? A forgotten birthday...

"Miss, miss...what flavor do you want?" the clerk asked enthusiastically, but found that the young woman was staring at the cake in a daze.

"What flavor?" She murmured to herself, her mind drifting away. What flavor? I wonder what flavor he likes...

The clerk smiled and introduced: "This one is vanilla flavored, and the taste is fresh and pleasant; this one is blueberry flavored, sweet and sour; and this one is our latest mousse cake, with a delicate and smooth taste. Which one would you like?"

"I...do I have any chocolate flavor?" She asked softly, seeming a little unsure. Deep in her memory, she remembered that he liked the taste of chocolate.

"Yes, over here..." The clerk pointed to the cabinet opposite, where cakes of various flavors were displayed, including chocolate and fruit flavors.

“I want this…” Her eyes rested on a heart-shaped chocolate cake, one heart, two people.

"Do you want something engraved on the cake for you?" the clerk asked attentively. In order to leave a special blessing for a special person, they will carefully engrave beautiful words on the cake. Last time, someone customized a 16-inch cake, which was engraved with 999 roses, symbolizing eternal love.

"Is it okay? Then... the youth of seventeen." Seventeen-year-old youth... seventeen years of life, you know? Seventeen years old... is the starting point of our lives...

"'Seventeen years old', huh? Okay, wait a moment..." Seventeen years old...

"Then I'll also prepare seventeen candles for you, okay?" In the Mood for Love...

Seventeen years old... is too cruel for me... I hate the seventeen years I have with you. If we can't be together, why did you come into my life? If we can't be together, why are we destined to meet? If we can't be together, why did you say forever? If we can't be together, why do I still have hope in my heart?

"Thanks…"

Carrying the cake, I walked on the busy street, watching the pedestrians coming and going, wandering on the street like a lost child, feeling confused and helpless. I didn't know where to go, where was the place that belonged to us. Where was the big locust tree that had witnessed countless memories?

City Railway Station, no tickets for the day...

My mind keeps echoing with your words: "No matter where you are in the crowd, I can always spot you at a glance." But now, I can't find you no matter how hard I try.

I really want to find you, even if it's just for a glimpse. However, no matter how hard I try, I can't find your trace. If I could go back to the past, I would definitely hold your hand tightly and never let you leave. I burst into tears, ignoring the strange looks around me.

You no longer told me to be happy, and no longer asked if anyone bullied me; you no longer held my hand to go to school, and no longer told me those bad jokes; you no longer carried me home, and you no longer thought about me... I hurt you deeply, didn't I? You are blaming me, right? You must be blaming me for abandoning you... It must be like this, because I didn't believe you, and you chose to fulfill it after all... But it burned my heart... For a long time...

Where can I go to celebrate your birthday with you? I have no home... I don’t have you... I have nothing... Where can I go? I... I don’t miss you at all... I don’t miss you...

In a corner of the park, candles are lit...

Time flies, and now you are no longer the innocent seventeen-year-old boy, but in my memory, you will always remain at that beautiful age.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." I sang the birthday song softly, and the song echoed in the air, as if traveling through time and space, back to the good times we once spent together. Every word of the lyrics carries deep blessings and attachment, hoping to be conveyed to your heart.

Tears wet my eyes unknowingly and slid down my cheeks.

"Su Yu, happy birthday..." I muttered silently, praying silently in my heart, hoping that you can feel my blessings and care in heaven.

Suddenly, a breeze blew and blew out the candle. I sat quietly, feeling the silence and loneliness around me. It seemed that I was the only one left in the world, immersed in the memories of the past.

"Do you have a birthday wish? It must be lonely?" I asked softly, as if you were right next to me and could hear my words. However, all I got in response was silence and endless loneliness.

"One day I think I will give up everything to be with you...this time...will you still wait for me foolishly?" I murmured to myself.

A person’s Happy Birthday song, a person’s cake, and a person’s world.

Ding ding ding... The phone keeps ringing. Jin Chuan... I'm sorry, I don't want you to see me like this, selfishly wanting to throw myself into your arms, but I can't... I... just want this moment to belong to him... At least for that moment in my life... I will think of him...

I'm sorry, Jinchuan... I just don't want you to worry, I don't want you to see my crying eyes. I'm really not strong, at least when I think of him, I still burst into tears.

Text message, Lu Jinchuan: Where are you? I'll pick you up...

I didn't get her reply, so I turned on the location of my phone and it showed a park. In fact, when I bought a phone last time, it was a couple model, so I bound it to location sharing.

She didn't answer his calls. If it wasn't because she had something to do, then she must have just cried or was crying. Shen Wanning, just because I don't ask doesn't mean I don't know. How long do you think you can lie to me like this? Do you think... I don't feel bad?

Shen Wanning: Jinchuan, I'm sorry, I won't be going home tonight.

Jinchuan... I really don't know how to face you now? You must hate me now, right? You must think I am being unreasonable? You must be angry with me too, right? Sometimes, just sometimes... I also want to not be a burden to your emotions.

Ding ding ding… the phone keeps ringing… I’m sorry… I’m really sorry…

Lu Jinchuan: I will always wait for you to come back home.

Shen Wanning, when can you treat me as your man? The man who shares your worries. I don't blame you, I just blame myself for losing you in the crowd, so that you have someone else to protect your life.

He said that he would always wait for him at home. Jinchuan, why are you so nice to me? I don't deserve it, really not worth it.

Tears wet my cheeks, I cried without caring about my image... It must be very sad to be alone in a world? When you miss me, do you cry loudly? Do you miss me too?

Tired of crying...

Walking silently, on the noisy streets, like a wandering soul. The sidewalks, the shadows of the trees, the sunlight...

I waved to a taxi and headed downtown. At that time, I always went to the coffee shop alone, I always went shopping alone, I was always indifferent, I was still alone, at that time...

After a 20-minute drive, I suddenly felt like I was back in time...

He and she were in a bridal shop, and her coffee spilled all over the floor. As time goes by, I can no longer find the original appearance.

"Wan Ning?" As if seeing her back, a complex emotion surged in my heart. Shen Wan Ning, this name echoed in my mind, as if with a familiar yet strange feeling. The Wan Ning in my memory always had a deep entanglement with me, but at this moment she seemed so lonely and desolate.

When you think of someone, does he also think of you? It sounds like Chu Haoyang's voice. It must be an illusion, right? Just like she often hears his voice from time to time...

"Wan Ning..." He walked through the crowd and stopped in front of her. There were still tears in her eyes, as if she had just cried.

"Haoyang, I'm so scared, I'm really so scared..." She threw herself into his arms, which was the chest she loved deeply, but now it had lost the warmth she was familiar with. She was afraid that happiness would come too quickly...

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid... I'm here." He gently hugged her shoulders, feeling her fragility. He had always known her fragility, but fate had destined them to be only friends, not lovers...

"Today is...his birthday, today is his birthday..." His birthday...

"Okay, don't cry, he will be sad." At that time, his eyes were shining with sincerity, and his tone was firm and gentle. He just wanted her to be happy, even though he knew that one day she would know the cruel truth, and by then, she might hate him... But all this could not stop his deep concern and love for her.

"Have you forgotten? His biggest wish is to see you become a real sunshine girl..." I still remember that time, he once solemnly promised her: he must make her become that energetic, positive and sunny girl. However, now he broke his promise and failed to fulfill his original promise.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." She whispered, tears streaming down her cheeks. The story of the sunny girl and the happy boy seemed like a beautiful dream, but the reality was so cruel. Su Yu, do you know that I have been trying to keep myself happy, because you once said that as long as I am happy, you will feel happy. But what about now?

"Have you eaten yet?" At around seven in the evening, his eyes fell on her, revealing a hint of worry. He knew in his heart that she must not have eaten yet.

"Let's go... go eat." He said softly, as if afraid of disturbing her fragile heart.

She always wanted to eat hot pot before, but he never had time for her. Every time he went to a hot pot restaurant, she was as excited as a child...Now he is busy taking care of Su Miao. For six months, she has been inseparable from someone by her side. The two of them are simply happy...

"Thank you for remembering that I like hot pot..." At that time, he was always so busy. It turned out that all this was just because of not loving her enough, just like him, no matter how busy he was at work, he would take time to enjoy dinner with her.

"Wan Ning...Are you happy with him?" If Lu Jinchuan can accomplish the mission that I cannot complete for me, it would be a kind of comfort to him.

"Well... I'm very happy." The happiness he gave me... was too beautiful, I was afraid it would break if I touched it...

"He is really good to me, but I am afraid that he is not as happy as I imagined." I am really afraid that in the world of love, I am the only one immersed in happiness, while he is not happy...

"Silly girl... he is very happy, just like in love." During that shopping trip, he and they were only separated by a street, but they could still keenly sense the deep happiness in the corners of his eyes.

"I have seen it on the way to the "Blooming Season for You" theme restaurant..." He looked at her confused eyes and explained softly. At that time, there was only him in her eyes, and her satisfied smile was very charming.

"Oh..." He had seen her before. She hadn't seen him for a long time.

Ding ding ding... The cell phone kept ringing, but she didn't want to answer it because hearing his voice made her sad.

"He must be worried about you..." He called, right? The phone kept ringing...

"Hurry up and answer it?" He knew what she was thinking, and he also knew that she didn't want him to feel sad for her...

"Hello..." She pressed the answer button, but there was no sound from the other end. But it didn't sound like the call was hung up either. Faintly, she could hear his breathing...

She called out again with some confusion: "Hello?" Then there was the sound of the call being hung up.

Shen Wanning, just let me know that you are okay... You fool, why do you always keep things from me? In front of me, you don't need to pretend to be strong, because there is really no need... How could I dislike you? You can show your true self and cry without any image...

"Uh, disconnected..." This man called and hung up without saying a word?

"That means he just wants to make sure you are safe..." He is a thoughtful man.

"Oh." He knew all that? And he chose to indulge her temper and willfulness?

"Eat quickly, I'll take you home after you finish." She is happy, right?

"No, why don't you go back quickly? Su Miao is still waiting for you at home..." I don't know since when, I have always been afraid of causing trouble to him. I have always been very sensible, so sensible that he thought I didn't need his company.

"Haoyang, I wish you all the best." In the world of love, there is no right or wrong...only whether you are really willing to love each other?

"Okay then... call me if you need anything." He has been out for a while...

"Well, bye." Everyone has their own expectations in their hearts...

She sat alone in the Huayanghong Hotpot Restaurant for a long time. It had been a long time since she was alone, so she just sat there thinking about her worries and him. She knew the ending, so why not just let him go?
