It was night, half past ten. Ou Yunlang, who was lying on the bed, had insomnia again as usual, and he put the plush doll he held in his hand on his chest, which had been with him for many years. He has a habit of holding a Doraemon plush doll in his hand when he sleeps, and today is no exception.

The past resurfaced in front of his eyes. When he was a child, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, their family would spend it with the Shen family's big house and second room. Three generations, three big families together, that person is a lot of very lively. These children are the focus of the party and the object of flaunting among the adults. Ou Yunlang's mother Zhao Ruilin is the only daughter of Shen Ziyin's aunt and grandmother, Zhao Ruilin and Ou Zhanming have been living in their parents' house since they got married, and after marriage, there is only Ou Yunlang's son. The Shen family's big house is also Shen Ziyin's family, Mrs. Shen has two daughters and a son, and after the three children form a family, the person is very prosperous, and the children of the three families add up to seven. The second room of the Shen family is full of children, and after the children got married, each family also gave birth to two children. The total number of children in these families is 12.

Ou Yunlang's childhood was very unhappy. Although his father Ou Zhanming has a smiling face, his personality is very competitive. Especially in terms of his son's reading and education, he pinned great hopes on his son, and he hoped that his son would get ahead. Ou Yunlang not only has to complete the homework assigned by the teacher every day, but also spends an hour every day to attend interest tutoring classes. The innocent and carefree child is overwhelmed by these every day, and what makes him even more terrifying is that as long as he does not do well enough, he will be exchanged for endless scolding and sarcasm from his father.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, when he was twelve, the three families still got together as in previous years, and this time it was the turn of the Shen family's second room. After chatting about work, the adults asked each other about the children. Shen Ziyin's aunt's son and Ou Yunlang were born in the same year, the same age, although they are no longer in the same school, they are in the same grade. After the parents of the two families said their children's respective achievements, it was really the so-called joy and worry. Ou Yunlang's grades were a little lower than others, and he was immediately scolded and ridiculed by his father. After the quarrel, Ou Yunlang, who was full of grievances, secretly came to the garden of the second room of the Shen family alone and shed tears.

"Cousin Yunlang, aren't you happy?" asked a little girl in a pink padded jacket.

Ou Yunlang hurriedly wiped away his tears and pretended to be casual, because he didn't want to be laughed at by a little girl. Hurriedly said, "No, why are you here?"

"I admired the tweed in the garden. The little girl replied.

"Why didn't you go in, I heard that you took the first place in this exam, don't you want to hear praise?"

"I studied for myself, and there was no need to be recognized by others. The little girl replied.

Her answer surprised Ou Yunlang very much, he didn't expect an eight-year-old girl to say such an intriguing thing.

"Then you study so well, your family must like you very much. Ou Yunlang asked curiously.

"No, Dad always told me that no matter how good you are, you won't be liked by everyone. Because everyone's heart is so small, she can't accommodate too many people. The little girl shrugged her shoulders, and her immature face had a little more maturity that she shouldn't have at this age.

At this moment, Ou Yunlang was no longer sad, because the little girl's words comforted him. In his eyes, the little girl was like a lovely angel.

"Cousin Yunlang, I give this to you, it's my best friend. The little girl took out a Doraemon plush doll from her pocket and handed it to him.

Ou Yunlang hesitated for a moment and did not reach out to take it. He was amused by the little girl's childish behavior, and thought that how could people be friends with toys. "It's your good friend, I can't take it away." Ou Yunlang declined.

But the little girl was very persistent and insisted on giving him the doll. "Cousin Yunlang, you can take it, I have another one at home, it will bring you happiness." ”

Ou Yunlang heard the little girl say this, so he accepted the doll, because he was also eager to be happy.

It was another year of Chinese New Year's Eve, Ou Yunlang was 13 years old, the little girl was 9 years old, the little boy gave a set of Doraemon comic books to the little girl, the little girl was very happy, and asked him to read the comic book with her, and the little boy gladly accepted. In the days that followed, they became good friends who talked about everything.

He was 14 years old and the little girl was 10 years old. The little girl told him that she would go to England to study after the Chinese New Year. The little boy was sad and wanted to cry, but the little girl smiled and comforted him, saying that they could contact him often by e-mail in the future.

He was 15 years old and the little girl was 11 years old. On this day of Chinese New Year's Eve, the little girl did not return from England, and the little girl's family said that the little girl did not return until two days later. So they didn't see each other. Although they didn't meet in person, they were connected every day.

He was 17 years old and the little girl was 13 years old. On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, he really wanted to confess to the little girl and tell her that he liked her. But he swallowed the words again, and he was afraid that he would scare her away. Although he did not confess, he gave her a necklace with their initials engraved on it. The little girl said she liked it.

He was 18 years old and the little girl was 14 years old. He told her that he was going to apply to a university in SH so that he would have the opportunity to see her in England.

He was 19 years old and the little girl was 15 years old. After the holiday, the day before the little girl was about to return to the UK, they took a car to SH city together, because every time the little girl went to the UK, she had to take a bus to SH city to take a flight. He took the little girl to the university where he studied, and they walked around the school playground and chatted on the campus benches. It's like a little couple.

He was 20 years old and the little girl was 16 years old. He flew to England on the eleventh holiday. They reunited in the UK, and the little girl was pleasantly surprised and hugged him for a long time without letting go. Ou Yunlang wanted to kiss her very much, but in the end he ended up worrying.

He was 21 years old and the little girl was 17 years old. He flew to England twice a year, and every time he parted ways with the little girl at the airport, the little girl would cry like a child.

He was 22 years old and the little girl was 18 years old. This year, he has been working, every day is very busy, and he has so much to learn. But he still found a few days to visit her in England. At the age of 18, she is more beautiful and gentle.
