"I used to wonder why I could only say two of the three wishes I made for the birthday cake, and the third had to be kept in my heart. You tell me that the third wish is the one that you most want to fulfill but know that it will not come true. That way, even if it doesn't happen, you won't feel sad and disappointed. ’

It's been your 731st day back home, two full years. I haven't seen you since you left that graduation season. You're doing well, and the fans should be proud of your much higher level of music. In fact, after you returned to China, I deleted Weibo, and I always wanted to take the initiative to forget some warmth, so that I could adapt to the days without you. But even if you use ins, I can always brush your dynamics, so I know, today you flew to Berlin, tomorrow you are in LA.

In fact, I have seen those WeChat of yours, and I remember that there was one you asked me,

'Why don't you reply?' ’

I feel that the whole 3 years and 10 months from the day I met you were stolen from your whole bright and brilliant life, and you need to endure some darkness that you have never been exposed to. Obviously, you yourself are under a lot of pressure, but you still have to spend part of your time sorting out my life for me.

I changed my phone number again and left Boston. I didn't tell you about the school I attended as a graduate student, just let me leave your life, and I'm grateful that our destiny trajectory met once, and that was the brightest light in my life. Now, I still don't have any friends, not because I don't want to get to know them, but because I find that I finally accept my friends, but I can't accept parting. I don't want to go through that parting again. So I'm still alone.

I can't help but miss you, though, so I only allow myself to indulge once a year on your birthday, plugging my old SIM card into my phone and logging in to all my social apps. On this day, the whole world is celebrating you, and I, looking for evidence that you have been in my life. I'm afraid I'll forget the moment you handed me the candy, the first time you got angry with me, the first time we went to the playground together.

It's 12 o'clock New York time, and it's my 24th birthday. Did you call it a day? Don't skip your meal on time. That's not good for your health. Oh, I saw that you actually updated ins rarely,

'How's life going?'

The days slipped away day by day,

I'm about to forget what college life is like,

Happy everyday。 ’

Is it because of me? Are you saying happy birthday to me? Will you miss those days too? Let me tell you what I wish for this year. The first is to get the qualification certificate of pastry chef, and the second is to successfully graduate and succeed in the doctoral examination. The third wish......"

Ye Tang made a large part of the above passage visible only to himself, and published it on the account of the old ins. She brought the cake to the floor-to-ceiling window, where there was a small night light left for her by Wang Yuan. She solemnly made a wish and blew out the candle without turning on the light.

She was uncomfortable when she first arrived in New York, where the nights were too bright and noisy to be as peaceful as Boston. Later, I got used to it, but I was always a little out of place, like a quiet area in the city, but it was getting more and more silent. Kerwin would come to see her sometimes, and she couldn't understand why Ye Tang would cut off contact with Wang Yuan. In this era of developed Internet, there is no impossibility if you don't want to.

However, she couldn't figure it out, she just felt that she had to do it, like a plot that belongs exclusively to Chinese. You see, Wang Yuan is still alive and well without me. Someday, you will be shouted out by the country you have been to in the depths. Ye Tang finished eating the cake and lay down on the bed.

"My third wish is: I hope to see you tomorrow morning."
