Dear baby - something with such a low probability of existence in today's society can actually happen to me. I have to say that my luck is really too good! In the words of my senior sister, if I were lucky enough to buy a lottery ticket, I would not be able to justify not winning 1.8 Million. But this "good luck" makes me miserable! In order to get rid of the so-called "fiancé" who was six years younger than me, I fled all the way from China to abroad, and then sneaked back into China from abroad. I went around and around and tried my best, but in the end I couldn't escape the grasp of fate. The senior sister said that "childhood sweetheart" is not a wonderful fate that everyone deserves to have. If you don't cherish it, God will not tolerate it. But many things and many truths are like the moon in the water or the flowers in the mirror, easy to understand but difficult to understand. I persistently wanted to challenge fate, unwilling to stop even if I was scarred, but I never noticed that there was a person who was also going through the wind and rain for me. It is often difficult for people to discover the beauty that is close at hand, because people always like to look into the distance and are tireless. It wasn't until the epidemic hit that I truly realized how short life is and how long time is.
