Wishing You a Bright Future, Peace, and Happiness

In real life, our story had no beginning and no ending.

The year I met him, I had just turned sixteen. The year I fell for him, I had just turned seventeen. The year we gave each other the cold shoulder until we completely fell out, we were freshmen in college.

In the virtual world, I want to give my youth a chance to let go, an ending, and a blessing.

The first week we knew each other: "Hey, classmate, are you always this aloof?" Ge Cheng turned around and asked the boy sitting behind her. He gave a soft laugh but didn't answer. As the bell rang, he curled up his hands, lowered his head, and went back to sleep.

The first month we knew each other: Every day, Ge Cheng received a message on WeChat from the same person. Every day, it was the same thing: "Are you there? Are you there? Could you take a picture of the homework and send it to me? Thanks!" That was how the two of them first got to know each other.

The first year we knew each other: "I'm so sleepy. It's your birthday today. Can I skip staying up to wish you happy birthday right on the dot?" Ge Cheng hugged her phone and lay on her desk, smiling as she stared at the chat. Just as she was about to give up waiting for a reply, he sent: "Why don't you try?"

I was so lucky to have met you in the midst of my ordinary, flavorless life, Dong Jinan. In the days ahead, may all your dreams come true, and may you always be safe and happy.

Theme: We should look back on every experience in life with gratitude, whether it was good or bad. At least, at some point in the past, we brought happiness to each other's lives.
