Because she had just broken up with her best friend, even though they were “two-timing lice” and had played together since they were little, catching cicadas and oranges, and being mischievous like boys. As they grew older, they became closer and closer, to the point where they thought nothing could affect or interfere with their friendship.
Until a drinking party on the mountain, you promised to play together forever, to live like two men. That promise was made when both of you were in a state of excitement and of course neither of you could see everything in the future.
Then, for a reason that could be called silly, when you came back from a long trip, you gave her a gift that made her misunderstand. So the two of you didn't see each other for a week, then a month, then a year, and then everything just passed by with time. And she realized that, in fact, they didn't need each other that much.
Sitting down to drink coffee with him to confide, he said: Forever is an adjective that should not be used because who knows what will happen in the future. In the story “How far is forever” by author Diep Lac Vo Tam (China), when the character Lang Lang loves peach blossoms the most, it is not because of the romantic scene of falling flowers before her eyes but because of the moment of blooming, bringing its brilliant but fleeting beauty. Lang Lang said: “The moment of shining is eternity”.
She widened her eyes: Now you still have time to read romance novels, didn't you say before, you never bothered to read that kind of crap.
He laughed: “Never” is also a word that should not be used because it has a completely negative meaning. My neighbor, when angry, scolded his child “I never want to see your face again” - that sentence will haunt the child in his adolescence. Whatever you do, as the Chinese say, always leave a door open for people, don’t close everything, block all escape routes. Just like I rarely say “Goodbye” - goodbye - but prefer to use “See you later” - see you later - because it has a more positive meaning. That is just one of my principles.
She also laughed: It's okay, you're terrible! But have you ever thought: If you were born and raised in a different environment, what would your fate be like?
He shook his head firmly: Never!
