On New Year's Eve of the millennium, He Hui and I were both drunk, and Brother Guohui carried us back home one by one.
From that day on, I no longer thought about love matters. Before graduation, I wrote a book seriously, and the title of the book was called My Teacher Ruan.
I hid all my feelings for her with respect and used my limited language to describe the kindest and most wonderful teacher Ruan in my heart.
When this book came out, even my mentor was shocked.
He shook his head and sighed and said to me, "Boy, I didn't expect you to hide it so deeply. How can my daughter compare to such feelings? I once felt very sorry for you. Is this how you repay me?"
I apologized to him and told him frankly that I would not be able to bear the consequences if such feelings were revealed, and I also hoped that my tutor would keep it a secret for me.
He knows me so well that he can tell at a glance what kind of signals my behavior and writing give off.
My mentor promised to keep it a secret for me, and he also saw that I had given up on this relationship that could not be exposed to the sun.
During graduation season, my advisor talked to me and hoped that I would stay on as a teacher, but I refused.
Because I still remember the agreement I made with Teacher Ruan. I want to become the editor-in-chief of the most famous newspaper in the country and take charge of the literary cause of Xinhua Country.
At that time, I didn’t know that the literary world had so many twists and turns. I just kept the promise I made when I was a child when I gave up my shameful relationship.
In 2003, my fourth uncle and aunt were named two of the top ten outstanding figures in the country.
I remember that this had always been Fourth Aunt’s dream. Although she never said it out loud, I once saw what she wrote in her notebook.
Although until now I still don’t know why she knew about this award at that time, I sincerely congratulate her on achieving her wish.
This year was an exciting year, but also a year of major disasters for New China. The outbreak of SARS caused panic among the people.
My fourth uncle and fourth aunt became the main force in calling on everyone to unite and fight against SARS.
I also responded to the call and became a glorious volunteer. When I was infected with the epidemic, I thought I was going to die.
My family members took turns calling me to encourage me to persevere.
The nurse who has been in charge of our area smiles optimistically every day. She tells us that there have been many cases of recovery and as long as we don’t give up, we will definitely get better.
Her smile is particularly healing, and for us SARS patients, her smile is what we like to see most every day.
When I was at my worst, I was so weak that I couldn't move in bed. She was so gentle when feeding me that it made me feel like the illness wasn't so scary after all.
We finally managed to overcome this SARS epidemic, and I made a banner for the young nurse.
She accepted it generously, but still said, "The ones who should receive the banner are the doctors and volunteers like you. Doctors treat patients and save lives, and you volunteers rush to the front line regardless of your own safety. I really admire you."
"Is that so? Then Nurse Xiao Dong, can you treat me to a meal?"
She was a little surprised, but agreed happily.
Since then we became friends and would go hiking and exercise together in our spare time. She said that a good body is the foundation of everything.
When I was with her, I slowly discovered that life is full of surprises. Smile at life, and life will smile back at you.
We got along very well and our friendship quickly grew. She would tell me some interesting things that happened in the hospital and take me to exercise. She loved life very much.
Because of my acquaintance with her, I feel that my originally boring life has become much more colorful.
Even my friends and family have noticed that I am different.
My mother once said to Fourth Aunt when chatting: "The girl that the child liked before is married. He has been obsessed with her for so many years. I think this one is okay. After all, they have been through life and death together. I think I will have a daughter-in-law soon."
Fourth Aunt was also very happy for me.
My brothers all started to congratulate me on finally getting over it. I don’t know if I have really gotten over it or not. I just felt that my feelings in the two relationships were different. When facing nurse Xiao Dong, I felt very sweet in my heart, just like she said that life is sweet.
I can't help but laugh when I see her. She seems to know some kung fu. The first thing she does every time we meet is to touch my funny spots.
I thought we would continue to have such a plain relationship, and our feelings would slowly heat up, and finally we would find a suitable time, and I would invite her to spend the rest of our lives together, and she would accept it calmly.
Later we will form a family, and maybe have two beautiful and lovely babies. Our babies will still love life, and we will live a simple and warm life.
But these are just what I thought.
In 2008, a major earthquake occurred in the hometown of the girl I liked.
Before I could comfort her, I heard the news that she had applied for support for the earthquake-stricken areas.
I heard that supplies were extremely scarce and that there was a chance of encountering aftershocks or landslides when I went to provide support. I became anxious. After so many years, I had finally gotten over that relationship and fell in love with a girl like this.
I ran to ask my uncle and aunt for help.
Fourth Aunt said: "We have donated money to the earthquake-stricken areas, and supplies have been delivered in large quantities. Don't worry, Xiao Dong is a medical worker, so she will be relatively safe."
Her comfort made me feel a little relieved.
My fourth uncle asked me to sit down and started to talk to me about what happened between me and Nurse Xiao Dong. In fact, everyone in my family knew it very well, but my fourth uncle still went through all this trouble. Sometimes I really don't understand them.
