Christmas Eve passed like this, in infinite depression and melancholy, in infinite pain and loneliness.
You Tong didn't sleep all night, so he turned on the radio and listened to a certain music channel. It was a song-on-demand program. There were countless crazy men and resentful women in the world entangled in love and hate. They were constantly cutting and arguing.
The female host's voice was soft and low, with a sense of sadness. There were only a few minutes left in the program, and there was still one spot available to call the hotline. She didn't know why, so she raised her hand and picked up the phone and dialed it.
.
She only planned to give it a try, but she didn't expect it to be successful. When the female host picked up the phone, her heart slowly skipped a beat.
It was approaching 12 o'clock, Christmas was about to end, and she made a wish at the last second.
"I hope...it can snow in Taipei..." You Tong said infatuatedly while holding her mobile phone. She suddenly remembered that day when she and him ran together in the rain after leaving McDonald's. It would be great if it was snow, like that
They don't need to hold an umbrella, and their heads will turn gray accidentally.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t snow in Taipei.
When I was a kid, I only heard one song, a gentle female voice singing "Come to Taipei to Watch the Rain in Winter."
Come to Taipei to watch the rain in winter, don’t cry in a foreign land.
When I go to Taipei to watch the rain in winter, dreams are my only luggage.
The sky is still sky, oh, the rain is still rain, you are no longer under my umbrella, this city is no longer familiar to me.
I am still me, oh, you are still you, just one more, winter.
The streets are deserted but crowded, and there are memories in every corner. If we meet again, there is no need to escape, I will eventually pass by.

The next day, the company went to work as usual. You Tong pretended to be calm and got back into the workplace with great energy.
The end of the year is getting closer and closer, work is getting busier and busier, and the New Year's Day holiday is getting closer and closer. Everyone is in this contradictory mood of expectation and hope, but You Tong only thinks about one thing, she
She wants to be busy all the time and doesn't want to take a vacation, because only being busy can stop her from thinking about what is there and what is not.
After Christmas night, she went back to live in Jinling Century, but Rong Yuchi never went back again.
Rong Xiaochi grew up day by day and learned to swim.
On the day of the end of the year, December 31st, You Tong unexpectedly learned from Rong Chen that today was Rong Yuchi’s birthday. She found it incredible that his birthday was only three days different from hers, but according to the lunar calendar, it was
There is a big difference. The year she was born was a leap month in a leap year, so there was a 2-year difference in their imaginary years. Well, Rong Yuchi was 26 in imaginary years and she was 24. There was a difference of 3 days, but a difference of 2 years.
It's like the relationship between her and him, so close, yet so far away.
When it was time to get off work, Rong Chen called You Tong into the office again, "Xiao Tong, as I told you last time, how have you considered the transfer to the Tainan branch?"
You Tong was suddenly startled, and something suddenly appeared in his eyes. Originally, she asked Rong Yuchi, and he said he would give her the answer on December 24, but she broke the appointment that night, and they broke up on bad terms after that.
After so many days, her answer is still pending.
She has not been having an easy time at the Taipei head office these days. Because of the end of the year, she is not only busy within the finance department, but also has to travel to other departments and sometimes other companies to handle current accounts.
She received countless criticisms and supercilious glances, and she thought that it was really not possible to continue like this.
However, how could she go to the Tainan branch when she and Rong Yuchi were at such a standstill?!
He smiled bitterly and said prevaricatingly, "I'll think about it for a few more days, and then we'll talk about it after the New Year's Day holiday."
"Yeah. That's fine." Rong Chen nodded in agreement, and suddenly said, "By the way, Xiaotong, how do you want to spend your New Year's Day holiday? I made an appointment with Rong Ling and the others to go to Bali. If you don't have any arrangements,
Come with me?!"
"Uh, no, no." You Tong quickly refused and explained, "I'm going back to Tainan to see my grandma during the New Year's Day holiday."
Rong Chen smiled and nodded, secretly admiring her filial piety, "Xiaotong, where is your hometown in Tainan?!"
"It's a small fishing village in the west of Tainan. It's very small."
"How about you take me to see you next time?!" Rong Chen looked very interested.
"Of course."
After chatting casually for a while, it was time to get off work and finally have a holiday.

Back at Jinling Century, You Tong didn't even cook and started packing her luggage. She had a five-day holiday on New Year's Day and planned to leave tonight.
I didn’t have many things, I only brought a few changes of clothes, gifts for my grandma, and a few boxes of health products from Taipei, which are good for my health.
After finishing tidying up and cleaning the house, it was nine o'clock in the evening.
The train was at ten o'clock, so she quickly picked up her bag and went out.
Before leaving, I looked around again and found that Rong Yuchi hadn't come back yet. Where would he go on New Year's Day?! Who would he spend it with?!
He sighed secretly, You Tong, what are you thinking about?!

Four days later, You Tong celebrated his birthday.
Except grandma, no one remembered, no one blessed, and no one celebrated with her, but she still felt very happy. She cooked a table of dishes, four dishes and one soup, all of which were her favorites, and grandma also
She loved food, so she even bought herself a cake, put candles on it and made a wish.
"Well... I hope grandma will live a long life." In this case, there will always be someone in the world that she respects and someone who loves her.
Grandma smiled kindly and murmured, "I hope Xiaotong can find a good home. I hope that man will love her forever and treat her as a treasure in his hand."
"Grandma..." She couldn't help but burst into tears.
