If love can be booked

It was her birthday at the weekend, and she thought they could finally celebrate her birthday together, but she didn't expect that he would leave her behind as usual.

I spent the whole afternoon wandering outside, enjoying the breeze, trying to calm myself down. Then, I got really tired, so I went to a nearby supermarket and stayed there for a long time, buying groceries and preparing to treat myself.

The longer I stayed outside, the more I missed the warmth of home, and this was exactly the warmth he had never given me.

Who doesn't like to celebrate their birthday? But once you leave home and venture out on your own, few people will remember your birthday. Maybe only on this day will you suddenly realize: Oh, it turns out that today is your birthday!

Gradually, I began to hate celebrating my birthday, because every year on this day, he could not be with me. Every time this time came, I could only hide in the corner and cry secretly. In fact, it’s not that I haven’t received gifts, but when I need him the most, he is always not by my side. Even a simple hug can make me feel extremely happy...

What I expect is not some fancy, carefully wrapped gift.

You abandoned me again? Chu Haoyang, you abandoned me again.

Do you really think that I am strong and don’t need you at all?

Ding Dong, at this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang. Could it be the gift from Lin Xiaoxi that has arrived? I thought to myself.

"Miss, your express delivery has arrived, please sign for it."

"Oh, thank you." As expected, it was the courier.

I don't think I had any expectations, because I knew you were already on a business trip at that time. But at that moment, a trace of longing still surged in my heart, hoping to see you, but it wasn't you after all.

After unpacking, a beautiful crystal ball appeared in front of me. Its accessories were elegant purple, which is my favorite color. Surrounded by pink roses, it was beautiful. What was even more surprising was that there was a pair of cute dolls in the crystal ball, hugging each other tightly. When I turned on the switch, pleasant singing sounded, lights flashed, snowflakes fluttered, and it seemed as if I was in a dreamlike world.

There are many crystal balls on the desk, and they add some new members every year. Some of these crystal balls are purchased by myself, and some are given by Xiao Xi. Because she knows how much I like crystal balls, the styles she gives me every year are different. But I didn't expect that this year, the two of them would like the same crystal ball.

WeChat delivery thanks:

Shen Wanning: Xiaoxi, I have received your gift and I like it very much. This crystal ball is the one I have been eyeing for a long time.

Lin Xiaoxi: Happy birthday, I knew you would like it. The first time I saw this one, I knew you would like it.

She could always easily touch her deepest emotions, as if they were the closest lovers in their previous life.

I just cooked some porridge and fried some tomato and eggs to make this simple dinner. When I eat alone, I often find it troublesome to even light a fire and cook. I sit at the table, eat dinner, watch the computer, listen to music, and enjoy this moment of tranquility.

Suddenly, her cell phone rang and she got up and went into the bedroom to answer it.

"Mom." It turns out they still remember, happiness is written on their faces.

"Happy birthday, daughter. I was just telling your father today that in the blink of an eye, our little girl has grown up." The children are growing up and are no longer around. Although I feel gratified, I can't help but miss my daughter.

My child, no matter where you go, no matter how tall and mature you become, you can never escape your parents' deep concern for you.

"Yeah, we've all grown up. Mom and Dad are old." Time flies, and in the blink of an eye we have grown up, and Mom and Dad are getting old. Years have mercilessly carved the most real marks on their faces, with crow's feet quietly creeping up the corners of their eyes and more and more white hair.

"Don't worry, Mom, you still look very young!" I said with a forced smile, but my heart was filled with endless emotion. While we were growing up, our parents were silently enduring the passing of time.

"Your father and I are both in good health now. He actively participates in various physical exercise activities when he is free." The mother continued, revealing a hint of relief in her tone. Today, the community cultural atmosphere is becoming more and more intense, and the countryside is no longer what it used to be. It is developing towards the direction of modernized countryside. This not only improves the overall appearance of the countryside, but also pays more attention to the spiritual civilization construction of farmers.

"That's great, you should exercise more at home!" I responded quickly. Exercising more is essential to staying healthy, especially for middle-aged and elderly people, lack of exercise may lead to a series of health problems.

"I know, but I'm worried about you being alone out there. If I had known there was no one to take care of you, I wouldn't have let you run so far away." Mom said with some self-blame, her voice choking. She felt very distressed that she couldn't even spend her birthday at home away from home.

I listened to my mother's words quietly, tears welling up in my eyes. Although I was in a foreign country, my parents' love and concern had never diminished. This deep affection was like a warm force that always accompanied me forward.

"Mom, everything is fine here and I have a stable job. You don't have to worry about me." They had always disagreed with them being so far away from home, but the reason they decided to come to this city was just to be closer to him. However, the opposite happened and he became more and more distant from them.

"Your dad said that tomorrow is our little princess' birthday. We must eat something good and don't be reluctant to spend money. Do you understand?" Seeing his precious daughter gradually grow up, the heart that had been worried for decades can finally settle down a little.

"I know. Where's Dad?" In fact, she did take good care of herself on her own. She just thought about some things occasionally, and there was nothing serious.

"Your dad is out. He said he was going to buy some fish. We will celebrate your birthday together at home tomorrow." She ran out without listening to advice, and kept saying that her daughter loved eating fish the most.

"Haha, my dad is still like this. Don't worry, I will definitely eat fish obediently tomorrow." She has always loved eating fish, but she didn't expect that they would always remember it in their hearts. It was a simple and ordinary sense of happiness.

"Mom, you must take good care of yourself, and don't forget to eat on time!" She knew that her parents were busy all day and sometimes even forgot to eat, and they were her deepest concern. I guess all children in the world are like this, right? They all hope that their elderly parents can live a better life.

Only when parents are well can children feel at ease.

"By the way, let's invite Chu Haoyang to our house for dinner when we have time." Although she didn't like the man very much, it was obvious that Wan Ning liked him very much, otherwise she wouldn't have chased so far to find him.

"Got it, Mom." Recently, talking about marriage seems to have become an unavoidable topic in every phone call. However, even she herself is not sure about this relationship, so how can she easily bring him home?

Twenty-four is an age defined by society as having grown up. However, growth is often accompanied by unspeakable pain and regret.

That year, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was not dry. You held my hand gently with your warm palm and said to me firmly: "From now on, I will protect you." At that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped and we were the only ones left in the world. However, in that same year, fate ruthlessly tore apart our beauty. He resolutely said break up, turned around and left, never looking back. What was left to me was only endless pain and longing.

Su Yu, how are you doing now? Do you occasionally think of me in the past? How I wish I could get news from you and know your current situation. If time could go back, if I knew earlier that you were ill, perhaps I would choose to stay with you without hesitation until the last moment of my life. Even if I could only have one more minute, I would be satisfied. However, the reality is so cruel that it makes people suffocate. You silently endure the torture of illness, but you never tell me a word. This makes me fall into deep guilt and self-blame, as if I was pushed into an abyss of no return, and I can't find a way out.

Do you know how much I hate your self-righteousness? Do you understand how much I hate to be separated from you? Why didn't you even give me a chance to say goodbye? Didn't you promise to fulfill all my wishes? You entrusted me to Chu Haoyang, but he didn't love me. Don't you know that? Except you, no one in the world is willing to love me.

Is this fate? I don't deserve the right to be loved? In this lonely world, I wander alone, trying to find the answer, but to no avail. Perhaps love is just a luxurious dream, and I am destined to be lost in the dream.

You know what? These years, I have not been happy at all.

Once, I naively thought that I could love someone with all my heart, without expecting anything in return. I found that I couldn't do it. I was tired, really tired, very tired.

If one day, I miss you, will you blame me? Will you be dissatisfied with my willfulness? Or, will you abandon me?

You're probably going to blame me, right?

A salty duck egg, you eat the egg white and I eat the egg yolk; a TV, you never fight with me for the remote control, but watch with me quietly; when playing chess, you are the only one who allows me to regret my move tolerantly, and then patiently teaches me how to make a better move; when playing, even if I deliberately cheat and pretend to fall, you will believe me without hesitation and ask me with concern if it hurts; you once said that the fireworks in the sky are as gorgeous and beautiful as the time of parting; every little thing about you is still vivid in my mind.

You once said it didn’t hurt, you once said it didn’t matter, and I believed it.

It's silly, isn't it? But you said you hope I'm happy, and I really try my best to show you the brightest smile and be the happy girl in your mind.

"Ding-ling-ling..." The phone rang. It was Lin Xiaoxi.

Oh, I miss you again! After so many years, you are still in my heart.

It seems that I can no longer fall in love with anyone else, just because your presence has left such a deep mark in my heart...

"Hello, Xiaoxi." I quickly wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, tried to calm down, and told myself to be strong.

"Wan Ning, happy birthday." She returned to the dormitory dizzy and checked her phone. It was almost eleven o'clock. Shen Wan Ning's birthday was tomorrow, so she wanted to send her blessings as soon as possible.

"Thank you." Lin Xiaoxi would always send her blessings on every birthday.

"Sister, you are one year older. What should I do? You are almost an old woman. I have to sell you out quickly." Lin Xiaoxi said drunkenly. Is she drunk? Otherwise, why would she say such nonsense? And still want to sell her out?

"Lin Xiaoxi, can you please take care of the 'old woman's' mood?" Shen Wanning deliberately put the emphasis on the word "old" and muttered to herself: Am I that old? I'm only 25 years old!

"Okay, okay... Wan Ning, I think I really give up this time." Lin Xiaoxi's tone sounded helpless and resolute, as if making this decision made her very painful, but at the same time she also felt relieved.

"My heart aches so much." Lin Xiaoxi choked up and said, tears had already blurred her eyes. As long as I can't see him happy, maybe I can slowly give up.
