No matter how much I resisted, March 25, 2008 was the second time in my life.

As in the past, the sisters in the dormitory were busy forgetting what day it was. Early in the morning, everyone got up from the bed, freshened up, and rushed to the canteen and classroom, starting a new day's "battle mode".

After all, parents are parents, my mother called early in the morning to wish me a happy birthday, and yesterday reappeared, but it was not exactly the same, I was in a somewhat complicated mood on the phone, and I missed my parents very much.

I said to my mother, "Mom, thank you for bringing me into this world, I feel very happy to be your daughter." I love you and Dad! ”

Mom obviously didn't expect me to suddenly start sensationalizing, and her voice on the phone was obviously a little choked, "Yiyi, you are also Mom's greatest pride and the best happiness." ”

Putting down the phone, my heart began to feel a little relieved, in the last twenty years old, I did not express my love for my mother so directly, this time, I made up for the regret.

Unlike in my memory, Xu Zhekai and I had a full day of classes today, and the two of us shuttled between the various teaching buildings on campus, and we didn't even have the opportunity to meet by chance.

In the last class in the morning, Xu Zhekai sent a text message saying that he and his dormitory brothers would have dinner in the faculty cafeteria at noon, and they would have dinner with me in the evening. I replied with a "Okay." ”

I don't know if he knows what day it is in this time and space, I hope he doesn't know, I hope it will pass peacefully, but there are still some expectations in my heart.

In the afternoon, my mood was not high, and the class was full of matches. My mind always recalls the scene of the last 20th birthday night, the shock, throbbing, warmth, and touching, and even a large part of the later resentment towards Xu Zhekai can be erased.

The end of class was approaching, and I was starting to get a little nervous, and I didn't know what it would be like to meet Xu Zhekai in a while.

When school ended, Xu Zhekai texted me, saying that he was waiting for me at the gate of the second teacher.

During the school day, the teaching building was a little crowded, so I rubbed out of the teaching building with the flow of people, looked around, and saw Xu Zhekai standing under the tree on the side of the building.

Yu Han, who came out with me, smiled and said, "The little poplar is standing under the willow tree, what a beautiful scenery in the world!" ”

I smiled and patted her, and Xu Zhekai ran over, and Liu Jia and Xiaoru, who followed me and Yu Han, shouted behind me, "Shen Yiyi, slow down!" The tree is there, and it can't fly! ”

I happily took Xu Zhekai's hand, and he asked me with a smile, "Are you sleeping people talking so badly?" ”

"Where is this! You bully me once, and their spitting stars can drown you! I said to Xu Zhekai seriously.

"I don't dare to try, I choose to believe." Xu Zhekai said firmly.

"What arrangement?" I asked Xu Zhekai a little nervously.

"World Trade Ladder!" It was as if he already had the answer.

"Huh? Right now? I glanced at my watch, and then at Xu Zhekai.

"That's right, it's only five o'clock, and it's less than seven o'clock when we get there, go shopping and eat to relieve the fatigue of the recent days."

I didn't have any reason to object, so I went with him.

There were a lot of people on the bus, so he just flagged down a taxi, sat in the back seat with me, and set off.

On the eve of the evening rush hour, when the car stopped for a while, I looked at the crowd outside the window and said to Xu Zhekai, "Do you have a feeling that people who get off work, although they are tired, their expressions are relaxed." People who go to work, although they haven't started to get tired, their expressions are always tense? ”

Xu Zhekai nodded. He took my words, "Have you ever heard that the mood of going to work is like going to the grave?" If I want to say, this is not appropriate enough, the most appropriate should be the feeling of going to work as if you are going to your own grave. ”

Before I could laugh, the driver couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere in the car was quite joyful for a while.

After encountering countless stop-and-go stops, I finally got to my destination, got out of the car and glanced at my watch, it was already half past seven.

We went to the hot pot restaurant we had a date to have dinner before the winter break. When he came out, the huge canopy on the World Trade Center was already more colorful, and there were still many couples who stopped below looking for their text messages.

I can't help but recall the last time we were here, and although it has only been more than two months, there is always an illusion that it is a lifetime away.

I was looking at the text messages on the canopy in a daze, and suddenly the picture switched, and a fiery red rose pattern appeared, followed by a very familiar sound,

"Shen Yiyi, today is a special day......"

I thought I had misheard, and looked at Xu Zhekai beside me in surprise, and he put his arm around my shoulder and motioned for me to look up and continue to look at the sky.

When I looked at the canopy again, I was completely shocked. The rose pattern disappeared, and the video appeared, and the person in the video was actually Xu Zhekai. Looking at the background, it seems to be on the rostrum in front of the multipurpose hall of the school, where we first met in the debate tournament.

"Shen Yiyi, today is a special day, twenty years ago, you came to this world, from that day, my life has a meaning, the whole meaning of my life is to meet you, fall in love with you, and protect you. I will always be the poplar tree by your side that is worth relying on for a lifetime, happy birthday, Yiyi baby, I love you! ”

The video was played five times over and over again on the huge canopy, and the crowd continued to hear the envious exclamations of some girls. There were also some people around us who recognized Xu Zhekai as the person in the video, kept greeting us, and some shouted "Happy birthday!" at me. ”

I don't know when, my face was already wet with tears. I never thought that after traveling through a time and space, after ten years of reincarnation, another 20th birthday, Xu Zhekai still remembers, and he still surprises me.

I didn't ask him how he knew my birthday, as I used to do, he would have known if he wanted to.

Xu Zhekai gently took out a tissue to wipe the tears from my face, and said to me gently, "I love you, Shen Yiyi, I wish you a happy birthday!" I missed your birthday before you turned twenty, and I will compensate for it with all the time I have to go. ”

My tears welled up again, and I slipped into his arms, my arms wrapped tightly around his waist, and his arms were still so warm, and there was a nice smell of laundry detergent on my clothes. My "little poplar", thank you, no matter the past and the present, thank you for every time and space that surprised me on my twentieth birthday.

Before we went back to school, we bought a bunch of desserts at Paris Baguette, including my birthday cake, and also for his dorm buddies and our four sages.

On the return taxi, the driver listened to the radio, and I rested my head on Xu Zhekai's shoulder, enjoying my time with him closed.

Suddenly came out of the radio Liu Ruoying's singing voice of "So You Are Here", I laughed, remembered the New Year's Eve concert, remembered the confession and beginning of that night, Xu Zhekai hummed softly with the radio "In thousands of mountains and rivers, the sea of people meet, oh, it turns out that you are also here." ”

I smiled and listened, thinking, maybe the fate with Xu Zhekai has not been broken, thousands of mountains and rivers, time and space change, we can still meet in the sea of people, I came here, he is still here, maybe, in a sense, we have never been separated.

The car stopped at the small south gate of the campus, and we walked side by side towards the dormitory, and when the time for the library to close was up, a wave of students who were studying on their own came out, and the campus was not deserted because of the late night.

Sending me downstairs to the girls' dormitory, I took the initiative to hug Xu Zhekai and offered a fragrant kiss.

Xu Zhekai said with a smile, "This kind of treatment can come a few more times." ”

I laughed at him for being insatiable.

Just as I was about to say goodbye and go upstairs, Xu Zhekai grabbed me, took out a small box from my coat pocket and handed it to me. I was about to open it, but he said, "Go back and see!" ”

"So mysterious?" I waved goodbye to him as I spoke, and turned to go upstairs. When I went upstairs, I looked out of the stairwell window and could see Xu Zhekai standing there watching me all the time. I waved at him from the window every time I went up one floor, and I didn't stop until I got back to my bedroom.

Shen Yiyi, Shen Yiyi, normally it should be thirty, and he still does this kind of childish behavior like a little girl.

I laughed at myself in my heart, and I felt very sweet.

When I went to bed, I gave them the small cakes I bought, which reminded them that it was my birthday. Xiao Ru hurriedly shouted, "Oops, oops! I must go out for a meal tomorrow to make up for you, I am too busy to forget! Yu Han and Liu Jia also chimed in. I had a good laugh.

After washing up and crawling into the bed, I opened the small box that Xu Zhekai gave me.

Inside was a ring, the size of my ring finger. I turned on the lamp at the head of the bed and examined the ring carefully, only to find letters engraved on it in the inner ring.

I sat up and looked closer to the lamp to see that it was engraved with "forever love X&S".

I lay back on the covers, my fingers rubbing the bumps in the ring, and my heart welled up.

I carefully placed the ring on the ring finger of my right hand. took a photo with his mobile phone and sent an MMS to Xu Zhekai.

Xu Zhekai replied in seconds: "Do you like it?" Why don't you wear your left hand? ”

"Like. The position of the ring finger of the left hand is left for you. I replied.

"It's a deal."

"Three lives are lucky."

"Good night and happy birthday! Love you! ”

"Good night, thank you for loving me and I love you too!"

I turned off the lights, turned off my phone, and closed my eyes contentedly. In the darkness, the left hand gently held the index finger of the right hand, touching the warm circle.

"Shen Yiyi, happy 20th birthday!"

"Shen Yiyi, happy 30th birthday!"

In the dark, I silently said to myself in the bottom of my heart.

Although I am in this time and space, I still always think of myself as the Shen Yiyi before. It's just that when I'm with Xu Zhekai, I will unconsciously return to the state of a little girl, to be coquettish, to play a scoundrel, to feel his doting, his love, to express my admiration, my own attachment. It's as if time has never gone far, just like nothing has changed in life.

But everything is still different. It's been a long time since I've seen Xu Zhekai in that time and space, after so many years of separation, so many class reunions, he has never appeared. He still looks like he's stuck in his twenties, just like what I see him like now. And what will he look like when he is established? Will it be like other male classmates who are fat and greasy? My "little poplar" probably won't, it should still be so elegant and charming. I want to see him again, whether I don't speak, just look at him.

I rubbed the plain circle in my hand, and silently made a birthday wish in my heart, the birthday wish of thirty-year-old Shen Yiyi:

"If we can go back to that time and space, let's meet again, let me look at him again, and let me know if the thirty-year-old Xu Zhekai has been the same for ten years."
