Chapter 9: Remembrance Day

The two of them are just together.

There are no vigorous confessions, no thrilling fights, well, everything is so bland.

When they were freshmen, they still lived in the school dorm room, and nothing changed. It's just that now he really became her boyfriend, and they can stick together every day.

Eat together, sit together in class, and when they are sick, they also accompany each other.

In the days when her stomach hurt, he was in a hurry, asked several people, bought brown sugar and asked people for help. After all, it was the first time for him to face this kind of thing as a boyfriend, and he was at a loss for a while.

Later, in their sophomore year, they discussed it and decided to rent a room outside so that they would have more time in the world together.

He took her back to meet her parents during the winter vacation of her freshman year, and the family was very happy with her. So for the fact that they shared the house, the family did not object, but even sent a sum of money.

Since it is renting, the monthly expenses are still quite large.

She had not yet told her family about him - her father had been abroad for a long time, and her mother had not cared much about her. She never liked the family, so she didn't tell them.

There's no need for that.

He comforted her, after all, this is not a trivial matter, let's send a message to say it.

She had always listened to him, but in desperation, she sent a text message to her mother.

I still didn't mention him, I just said that I had a boyfriend and now I want to share a house with him.

It took days to receive a response, which was simple and very much in line with her status as a mother.

"Decide for yourself!"

As a mother, I have never cared much about her. Sure enough, it still hasn't changed.

Since both families had been notified, they picked a rental house near the school that was not very big.

This room is on the 10th floor, with one living room and two bedrooms, plus a kitchen and bathroom.

Although it is simple, the rent is still a bit high, according to their previous budget, it seems to be a lot higher.

However, he believes that as long as he is with his loved ones, he can make this place a home together, which is happiness.

So he secretly found a part-time job to deliver food to others without telling her. Working hours are from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

At this time, she happened to have something, so she didn't tell him in detail, so he didn't ask much.

Girls, there will always be times when you need to be alone.

This is also what he wants, he has been worried about his daily expenses, and now he can find a part-time job to earn some money.

Putting together the daily belongings in the house, they celebrated the day at a small restaurant - they finally had a place to call home.

Where is home? Where there is him and her, it is home.

Every afternoon from five to eight o'clock, this home is pitch black.

He worked hard to deliver food and take that meager salary to live. Sometimes when he was riding on the road, he would also think about her and what she was doing now.

The days passed like this, and they ended their college careers in that room, and it was there that they began their respective graduate school lives.

He still delivers food from 5 to 8 p.m., and he still doesn't ask her about her, and he doesn't tell her what he does every day.

Daily life is like a template, constantly repeating and coming again, and at their rare table, the topic is either learning knowledge, or the daily routine of rising prices and rents.

His savings, after working for so long, are still pitiful, but he has saved a lot, plus the living expenses sent by his family, he can barely support the family.

Every time she pays the rent, she also contributes a part of the money. Sometimes more, sometimes less, not fixed.

There were many times when he didn't want her money, but she refused.

Maybe she's working part-time, too?

He also thought about this issue, and mentioned it a few times intentionally or unintentionally, but she cleverly changed the topic.

She's smart.

After college, they went to graduate school for another four years. Because something happened in between, they won't be able to graduate until next year.

This day is her birthday.

On this day eight years ago, she became his girlfriend.

The latter thing was a complete coincidence. He didn't know her birthday, and when he asked her when it was before, she shook her head and said she didn't know.

I don't remember what happened last time, she said that her birthday was the day they were together.

I missed the first few times, but this time I must do it well!

He didn't go to work that day and asked his boss for leave in the group.

Leaving school, he turns a corner and goes to the bakery to pick up the cake he had ordered for her.

Not much cream, but a lot of fruit.

She loves to eat fruits. After many years of getting along, he already knows her very well, and he even knows the size of her fingers, otherwise how can he secretly buy her an engagement ring?

After all, he has limited savings and can't buy her the best, but he believes that she will like it.

He hid in his bedroom, turned off the door and the light, and created the illusion that there was no one at home - usually he was the first to arrive home because of his work.

He glanced at the time, and it was half past six.

He didn't want to come out and wait, he has always been a very meticulous person, and he was afraid of that one in ten thousand accidents.

When she gets home, she won't know the surprises in the bedroom, wait until she walks into the bedroom and turns on the light.

Seeing him holding a cake in one hand and a ring in the other, she must be very moved, right?

He seemed to have seen her happily hugging him and crying with joy, and he had also seen him put on a ring for her, and finally, she took his hand and walked to the festive red carpet together.

She is even more beautiful in her wedding dress......

Thinking about it, he fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but he was suddenly alarmed by the ringing of his mobile phone.

At first glance, a colleague called and asked him about his work.

Hanging up the phone, he paid special attention to the time, it was already half past eight.

No, he's usually home at half past eight, why hasn't she come back yet?

It stands to reason that I should be home at a quarter past eight.

Will you go shopping?

After all, today is their eighth anniversary.

Thinking so, his nervous heart relaxed a lot. But why still jump so fast? He was also a little confused.

Still relieved, he picked up his phone and sent her a message.

"Where have you been? I'm home, why didn't I see you? ”

After a while, "Ding! ”

She sent a message - "I want to buy something to eat, I'm a little hungry today, do you want me to bring it for you?" ”

"No need, I'm not hungry, come back early after you eat, stay safe!"

After sending this sentence, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he is thinking too much, he should have not slept recently.

However, half an hour...... An hour passed, and she still didn't come back.

He was a little worried again.

Call her directly.

"Hello, the user you dialed is turned off......"

Broken! Nothing really happened!

He hurriedly grabbed his phone and rushed out.

On the big clock in the living room, the minute hand moved slightly, and the time was set at 9:43.

And in a taxi in the distance, she looked at her mobile phone that automatically turned off because it ran out of power, and she was also a little worried.

I went to several stores to buy this food, and before I knew it, an hour had passed.

According to his character, if he can't get through to her now, he will definitely be in a hurry.

"Master, is it okay to trouble quickly? I'm in a hurry. ”

The driver nodded and increased his speed slightly.

She sat in the back seat with a big bag of rescuers in her arms.

He said that he liked to eat this, but he couldn't buy it nearby, so she asked a lot of people and went to many stores to buy this.

Today is an anniversary, so he must be super happy to see this!

She couldn't help but smile faintly at the thought of his happy appearance.

She paid attention to the display in front of the taxi, it was already 9:42.

The taxi was much faster, and when she turned, she subconsciously freed up one hand to hold on to the seat in front of her.

The sound of the car horn is deafening......
