The promises I once made

Listen to the journey of your heart, the pictures of the past are frozen in your mind, and every touching story unfolds in the journey of life.

The first time we met was in the busy second semester of our senior year. At that time, you were a well-known talented student in our grade. Once I was studying in the classroom and you walked into our class to find one of your classmates. Friend, he and I happened to be discussing homework, and you also participated. In this way, we got to know each other in the sea of ??questions, and it seemed that we touched the rhythm of each other's heartbeats. From then on, we had many encounters: I saw you among the crowded people in the cafeteria almost every morning. You would buy an extra portion and hand it to me without hesitation. I was very shy and at a loss when I handed over the money. Hand it over and you always say no. Every time I encounter a problem in my homework, you always patiently explain it to me in detail and draw inferences until I fully understand its meaning. Gradually, we had more tacit understanding without dialogue. We would eat, study, play table tennis, shuttlecock, etc. together.

The time together always flies by. The college entrance examination is over. You are admitted to the ideal Northern Jiaotong University, and I am admitted to an undergraduate college in the south. The long distance between the north and the south makes it difficult for us to meet each other. Reluctant to give up. We have not held hands once but it seems that we have completely possessed each other. We have not confessed to each other once but it seems that we have come with a promise. I decided to study in my senior year and go to a city very close to you. You also expressed your willingness to be quiet. of waiting for me. From then on, we were separated from each other and began to express our concern and longing for each other through letters.

The SARS virus suddenly struck when I was a senior in college. According to the origin of SARS, economically developed cities were the first to be targeted. You wrote to tell me about the situation in Beijing: your class has been quarantined and closed, and you told me to pay attention to diet and protection when going out. If you have not escaped this disaster, you must live a good life. A few short lines of words reveal the pure and selfless love between us. I understand what you mean, so I wrote in the reply: "If you survive, I will try to find you soon; if you are unfortunate enough to be Even if I catch the virus, I will still go to you. "The love at that time was very pure and true. We found courage in our commitment. The dark clouds were blown away by the wind, and the haze was dispersed by the sunshine, making everything calm. Through hard work, I was successfully admitted to a university in the north that is very close to you. At this time, love and affection are surging warmly in my heart. I can no longer hide the love and joy in my heart. This is the first time for you who are not good at words. Say those three words to me: "I love you!"

Getting on the moving train, my heart is moving towards you, because our distance is closer and our hearts are closer. The roads I have walked and the things I have done are hidden in my pocket and are within reach, romantic, touching, bitter and pulsating.

I once touched you: We made an appointment on the phone to meet for the first time in college. Before that, I had never even traveled far away. I don’t know where I got the courage to set foot alone for the first time. Go to Beijing to find a bride. Since my train arrived at around five o'clock in the morning, you went to the train station the night before to surprise me. At that time, the October night in the north had already cooled down. You ignored all obstacles and slept in the waiting room that night. . I didn't think much about it when I got out of the car. I took a taxi and went straight to your school, hoping to surprise you. When I got off the bus, I realized that I had mistakenly gotten into a black car and he had charged me for the expensive fare. , I started to be a little scared but I couldn’t resist the joy in my heart. I dialed your dormitory phone number at your school's security office, and the signal returned was that there was something wrong with the phone, so I couldn't contact you. The timidity in my heart began to increase sharply. I told the guard about you and asked them to help me find your whereabouts. The guard reluctantly told me: little girl, this is a university, not a junior high school. There are tens of thousands of students in it from all over. , finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack, let’s do our best! I tried to leave you a message on **, but due to my clumsiness I couldn’t operate a computer; I tried to find a hotel to stay in before finding you, but I was afraid of being cheated again and didn’t dare to go far; I tried to contact other classmates in Beijing , but all ended in failure; a thought flashed through my mind, and I dialed the first and last digits of your phone number, and finally got some news from you: It turns out that you went to the station to pick me up the night before. At this time, I realized that we had passed each other at the station. Now I can only wait at your school. Waiting and waiting. I am really about to collapse, but I am not willing to go out alone for the first time and return empty-handed. I just hold on at the school gate until dusk. I remember it is time. It was time for dinner, and the doorman excitedly told me: They have contacted you. I saw you walking towards me from the winding path of the school. At this time, I could no longer suppress the grievance and fear in my heart. Tears flowed down my cheeks. I found that you were crying too. It was your first time to pull a baby. I held my hand and solemnly declared: "Promise never to lose me again."

You have also moved me: the love between us has never been thought of in return, and the details of life have made me sad. We get to the deepest parts of each other. Every time we were traveling together on the train back to my hometown, you were afraid that my health would be too much and that I would be tired. You were responsible for all our luggage. You looked as if you were fleeing, with one bag on the left and one on the right around your neck. Still hanging a bag and you have no complaints.

Since I would get motion sick on the 48-hour long-distance train, you always let me lean on your solid shoulders. Even if your hands were numb, you just pinched me lightly for fear of disturbing me, and served meals throughout the journey. You took over the task of delivering water, and I became a passenger on this train enjoying the most advanced VIP service. The envious and moved looks from other people made me even more certain: I will rely on this man by my side for the rest of my life. on the shoulders.

Surrounded by moving waves again and again, we spent four happy years in college. We still remember the excitement of climbing the Great Wall for the first time, going to the Old Summer Palace and the Summer Palace to experience history for the first time. The feeling of picking up the maple leaves with my own hands, the kindness of going to Tiananmen Square for the first time, the first time of visiting Peking University and Tsinghua University, let us be immersed in happiness. Occasionally there will be bitter quarrels and tears, but More touching. The reluctance to leave each time, you kept waving to me out of the window on the train, I kept chasing your train track on the platform, our clothes were soaked with tears, and my heart was in heartbreaking pain. , you promised me at that time: we will never be separated after we graduate. The happiness when we met makes me have endless aftertaste. You took me to the classroom where you often go to study, taste the so-called delicacies you often eat, those sweet promises we made together, trees, stars, the Great Wall, a bowl Rice noodles bear witness to the imprint of our love. Occasionally we will get angry because of our own stubbornness and get separated because of trivial matters, but that is just the spice of life and does not change the taste of our happy love. It makes us cherish and care for each other even more. We still remember that we were under the locust tree in your school. , you once promised me: We will live together forever. If there is an afterlife, we will still be together.

There are no earth-shattering weeping ghosts and gods, only ordinary touches and joys and sorrows, but they bear witness to our most pure love. This was my first relationship and it lasted until I graduated from college. Later, due to various reasons, we separated painfully under the background of "people are in the world and can't help themselves". Now you are a married man, But that "woman" was replaced by someone else.

We are grateful for the years we have gone through and the beautiful promises we have made. Although some have been realized and some have been deeply buried, the moment we made the promises came from the bottom of our hearts. Sincerity is enough.

My youth is wonderful because of you, and happy because of those promises!

Listen to the journey of your heart and start a new one; close a window and open a door, we are all sailing!
