Chapter 3 Agreement

  The time had come for Handan's appointment, and she asked me to accompany her to pick out a gift for someone important.

  We walked into a gift shop with smiles, the store gave us a warm feeling, as soon as we entered, the fragrance of flowers hit our noses, making people feel happy. Those exquisite gifts lay quietly in the counter, under the light, they had a sense of beauty.

  Dandan carefully looked at the various gifts on the counter and asked me in a low voice, "What kind of gift do you think I should choose?" She had a slightly hesitant expression.

  I've never chosen a gift for a boy before, you're asking me a headache question! I said to myself.

  Dandan is a lively and lovely girl, she wants to carefully select a gift for her boyfriend, she must have a happy and sweet feeling. As her good friend, I should help her out, but, I still don't know how to choose gifts for boys! It seems that this is my homework to learn.

  "It's still up to you to decide what's good, choose the one you like the most, whatever is sent is a kind intention!" I had no choice but to say so.

  "You're quite good at talking!" Dandan said with a smile.

  She carefully selected gifts with a very serious expression.

  "They have a basketball game, are you going to watch?" Dandan had a very happy look on her face, she must be looking forward to the wonderful day in the future.

  "I'm not going, I want to read a book." I replied without hesitation. I didn't want to be an extra person, so I decided not to go.

  "You can read books at other times too!"

  She saw me shaking my head and started to get anxious, pulling on my arm. "Yi Yi, come with me!" In her anxiety, she actually called out my nickname. Only Dad and Mom call me that! I clearly saw her face turn slightly red, and her big eyes also showed a look of urgency.

  I knew she was a sentimental person, and if this continued, she would definitely get emotional to the point of tears. I understood more clearly that the day he played basketball was so important to her. It's just that I only thought of these things too late.

  After all, we are together because of friendship and should help and support each other because of this friendship! Okay, I was wrong, I should have answered "Go" readily.

  "Alright, alright, I'll go with you, isn't that enough? It's just that I'm unnecessary, what am I supposed to do when you're talking?"

  "It's not excessive at all, think about it, he went to the competition, I'm sitting alone, nobody knows me, there's no one to talk to, how boring!" She actually pouted and started acting coquettishly.

  "That game is over, and you don't care about me anymore." I said casually.

  "No way, you're coming with us afterwards."

  "Not at all, you'll be very annoyed if I did, I'm disturbing you guys!"

  "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I'm happy as long as you're here!" She had an expectant look on her face, as if waiting for that day to arrive.

  So we agreed to go together that day.

  At this time, my line of sight stayed on the white flowers among the blooming flowers. I picked a few branches of baby's breath, lily, white rose and daisy. These pure white flowers looked very good in my hands. White is a symbol of purity. I don't know since when, but I especially like these plain-colored flowers. I like their elegance and refinement.

  She had chosen her gift, I bought these flowers, and then we left the store together.

  I smell the fragrance of those flowers, and the joy in my heart spreads endlessly. At this moment, I am convinced that I am a true flower lover.

  Dandan looked at the gift she bought with satisfaction and a smile. Sometimes she felt that she was also a simple and good girl.

  So we are good friends. Maybe we both have a pure and kind heart, so from the first day of school to now, we have been maintaining our friendship.

  The sky has darkened, the evening breeze gently strokes my long hair, I subconsciously tidy up my clothes, it's still very cold at the end of March, with a large temperature difference between day and night.

  "Dandan, are you cold?"

  "It's not cold." She smoothed her short hair.

  Two girls walked like this on a spring night, in the campus with blooming cherry blossoms. Our hearts must have been warm. She chose a gift for her loved one, and I bought my favorite white flowers. We each felt happy. But the definition of happiness is different in each person's heart.

  Dandan said: "Who gives themselves flowers?" She giggled.

  "Why can't it be? I like it, this isn't sending flowers, it's seeing something you love and buying it to make it your own."

  "Alright, I won't argue with you, you're so beautiful and talented, a great poet."

  "What's so great about it? Stop flattering me all the time, okay?"

  Today, both of us were very happy. After dinner, we strolled around the campus. The campus was quiet at night. We looked up at the stars in the sky and listened to the sound of footsteps on the small path. It made this evening feel even more beautiful.

  "Qing Yi, I know, you wrote in your notebook: 'Like Snow Girl', what's going on? I feel like you're that kind of person, just look at the flowers you bought, pure white."

  "She continued: 'You know what? People get moved three times and they'll cry. In a short period of time, meeting someone three times will create a story.'"

  "Has anyone ever told you that you're moving three times? Has anyone made you meet three times recently?" she asked.

  I listened to her words and fell into deep thought.

  Dandan, let you speak alone now! When did you become an emotional expert? Is it that people who are in love will all become like this?

  I am speechless. I smile but don't answer. Because these are all questions I cannot answer.

  No one has ever said three words that moved me, and no one has made me meet three times. Two words: none. It would simply end all topics, but the doubts left in my heart will not stop until the answer to the question is found.

  Actually, perhaps each of us, when facing the same problem, deep down in our hearts, hopes that the answer is affirmative, which is: there is. Because we all have a longing for happiness deep within us.

  But she said, if not for the encounter, why did I suddenly think of him now, the one who handed me a handkerchief to wipe my mouth with pomegranate juice, and then met again in the library while looking for books? The one who made me remember because of the butterfly, because of the gentle and elegant eyes.

  Went back, passed by the cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms were still in full bloom, and at night they had a unique beauty, while the night when the cherry blossoms bloomed was even more beautiful.
