(Qixi Festival Essay Competition) A letter from a strange man

Chinese Valentine's Day is coming soon, and our circle of friends has exploded. Everyone is discussing a hot topic. Do you remember the most precious gift you ever received? How did you get it?

Remember, remember, a cake made by a boyfriend. The person who spoke was Chen Guo, a pretty girl who was in a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend.

At that time, I was working my summer job far away by myself, and he couldn’t come to see me. But he still wanted to give me the best on my birthday. Later, I heard from his friend that he made this cake alone in the afternoon. I was worried that I wouldn't receive it, so I called to order one.

He bought the materials himself and followed the steps step by step. In the evening, I received two cakes. I was surprised and even more moved.

In addition to my parents, he is a person who can hold me in his hands and love me. That day, I felt very happy. Looking at the shining ring on her hand, Chen Guo smiled happily. After all, she found her husband.

Wow, so happy. We also want such a boyfriend.

Just to attract hatred and envy you to death, Chen Guo said with a smile.

Look at me, look at me, mine is also very good. What I received is a male god boyfriend, and the one who speaks is Xia Yang with an artistic style.

Is it fake?

It's true.

It was on my birthday that my male god confessed to me. Now that Xia Yang remembered it, the smile on his lips could still rise upwards.

I have thought about it ten thousand times, knocking the male god down and ravaging him violently, but in the end I still held back.

Let me go, why did the male god fall in love with you, with such courage and mentality, Chen Guo said carelessly.

There is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world, but the male god only loves this flower. I said with a smile.

Classmate Mu, can’t you stop being polite?

Okay, what about you next? I continued.

The story that followed was still ridiculous. The hero went abroad, and I was alone in a familiar place, wandering around like a child who couldn't find his way home. But time is still a sanatorium, and I still walked out.

It is said that the best way to cure a broken love is to find a new relationship.

After the male idol, a classmate who was not handsome or tall, but was very nice to me pursued me, so I agreed, Xia Yang said with a wry smile.

I asked in shock: Are you not afraid of getting hurt again?

She smiled and replied: Life is like a gamble. How many people are eclipsed here, and how many people can shine brightly here. I just didn’t want myself to lose too badly, so I had to gamble once. However, the rings of fate eventually favored me. I won. I won a happy home and a lover who loves me.

Seeing this, I suddenly thought of what my friend said: If you don’t try, then you won’t even have a chance to lose, so what are you going to bet on the happiness you want?

At that moment, I knew that when we meet the right person in life, maybe we should really take a gamble instead of hiding in a dark corner and saying: I love you very much, or I like you very much. Something like that.

Love must be spoken out loud. Don’t wait until time flies by before you want to say: I loved you back then, but I just couldn’t say it out loud.

I’ll go, this is too bloody, just like acting in a TV series, but with more routines and less sincerity, Dabai complained.

Dabai, could you please tell me what your precious gift is? Don't tell me you don't? Xia Yang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"Why not? It's very special. At least I've been keeping it at the bottom of the box for many years," Dabai said loudly.

Um, what, it’s not a shoe insole, it’s been pressed for many years, I said with a smile.

What do you know, that is a letter from a strange man.

It’s fake,

In what era do people still write handwritten love letters?

Copied?

Is that man teasing you?

Isn’t this a copycat of Zweig’s brother piece “Letter from a Strange Man”?

You all shut up and listen to me, Dabai roared.

You said it, we collectively said it.

At that time, our school did not receive letters or greeting cards from other students from far away every day.

So, you have too. I asked anxiously.

Nonsense, I am a person with an ascetic face. I am obviously a beautiful girl who is loved by everyone and has flowers in bloom, Dabai said proudly.

Seeing the car, the car had a flat tire, let’s get to the point, Chen Guo roared.

I received a call from my classmate that day, saying it was a holiday and a secret letter had arrived for me, so he asked me to pick it up.

As a result, I accidentally picked the wrong one.

What did you do? Don’t you have a name?

Yes, but with the same name.

Is your name important to anyone? Xia Yang said in surprise.

So, I didn’t expect it, so I took it back to the dormitory, Dabai said with a smile.

What is the approximate content of the letter? I asked anxiously.

It’s probably the story of a girl named Maple Leaf who had a crush on Dabai for five years, and finally got up the courage to confess her love. However, Dabai didn’t accept it on the phone, but wrote a letter back to the girl. Dabai said sadly .

Isn’t this the same as me? I have been secretly in love for five years, I said depressedly.

However, you didn’t even have the courage to confess. You even blushed when answering questions in class and still confessed. Xia Yang laughed and said.

I, I, I, don’t stutter. Listen carefully to what others say, Chen Guo said seriously.

What Dabai means is that girls should not waste their youth waiting for him, he is not worth it. Maybe in the future of her life, she will meet someone better than herself. But Maple Leaf didn't know that Dabai was carrying too much.

During winter and summer vacations, he was either at the construction site or working at home. When he was young, his mother and father divorced because his family was relatively poor.

Dad is both father and mother. He was also quite ambitious and managed to get into a good university all the way. At that time, he felt that a good life for his grandmother and father was not far away from home. However, he still overestimated God.

His father was seriously ill, a bit like leukemia. Dabai seemed to cry as he spoke.

How do you know? Is it in the letter? Dabai, I asked in a low voice.

When I received the letter, I saw that the address above was a certain hospital. It happened that I had a relative who was a doctor there, so I asked him about his affairs and found out these things by accident.

Baymax was very happy when Maple Leaf confessed. But when he saw the ventilator inserted by his father, Dabai gave up.

What happened to Dabai’s father in the end?

In the end, with the help of Dabai's teachers, friends, and kind-hearted people in the society, Dabai's father was out of danger. Dabai took a year off from school to take care of his father in the hospital bed. This last piece of news was told to me by my relatives last year, Dabai said after taking a deep breath.

For a man, the most powerless thing is to meet the girl he most wants to take care of for the rest of his life at the age when he is least capable.

For a girl, the most regrettable thing is that at her best age, she meets someone she can’t afford to wait for, I lamented.

That’s why you never returned this letter, Xia Yang cried.

I would rather let Maple Leaf feel that it was Dabai's rejection rather than for other reasons. This is to maintain a man's dignity. Dabai whispered.

Perhaps Maple Leaf is willing to share the joys and sorrows? Xia Yang complained.

But whose parents are willing to hand over their daughter to someone who can’t see a future? Dabai said.

Yes, every parent wants their daughter to live well. Xia Yang said leisurely.

I have kept this letter from a strange man for a long time. After all, it is a stored memory,

Dabai said while looking at the screen of his mobile phone.

Preserved in the starlight, there may be light that we cannot see. We laughed and said.
