Once, he asked me:＂When is your birthday? ＂
＂Why are you interested in it?＂
＂Nothing that I wish to know.＂
I told him:＂Two months later.＂
＂June what? ＂
I felt weird, though I told him. As a result, what he said shocked me: ＂If you can give me an opportunity to meet you, we can celebrate it together. ＂
I didn’t respond; I couldn’t either. A sorrow welled up from my heart. Nobody cared about my birthday after my mother’s death. He was the first one.

I know you have no time to accompany me, but it doesn't matter.If you will,you can get along with me at weekends. I just want to spend good time with you."
"I have never thought that would be a waste to do anything for you. So take it easy,OK?"
As he was speaking, his tone was gradually lowered, which was as if a yellow leaf blown down by the wind.
When speaking to me, he was very gentle,sensible and polite before. At that time he showed a totally different facet to me, which led to a collapse of my heart. (Continuing …）
