The boy and girl were college classmates. Both were in their first love, both were very loyal, and both loved each other. From studying to working, flower reservations, they had been in love for several years! After starting work, the girl developed some material requirements, believing that those requirements were necessary foundations for happiness. However, the boy felt from the current situation that it would be difficult to meet these requirements in the short term. The boy wouldn't lie or make big promises, so he couldn't give the girl too many material commitments, such as sending flowers online. More often, the boy would cook and wash clothes for the girl after work. Occasionally, when the girl was tired, he would even give her a massage. The boy believed that as long as he could do something now, he would do it.
Recently, the boy and the girl had an argument! This kind of argument had happened a few times. On the third day of the argument, the girl said to the boy: "We're not suitable for each other, thank you for loving me!" The boy replied: "Willing love cannot be expressed with a 'thank you'." In fact, the boy wanted to say to the girl: "You're wrong, it should be 'thank you for always loving me!'" And so, the relationship between the boy and the girl came to an end.
The boy returned to his place, unable to sleep deep into the night. He went through his room and found things related to the girl.
First, the boy found a photo in his wallet. It was a picture of the girl taken during high school. In the photo, the girl looked very innocent and cute. The photo was something the boy had asked the girl for during college. Since the moment he got it, the photo had always been in the boy's wallet. He would take it out from time to time, look at it, and smile foolishly.
The second item the boy found was a small plastic bag containing a few sticker photos. These were the only sticker photos the boy took during college, as they were no longer very popular then. In the sticker photos, the boy and the girl still looked carefree, their expressions showing happiness and joy, making them very enviable.
Next, the boy found a ring box in a chest. Inside was a silver men's ring. Originally, it was a pair of couple rings, with the other one belonging to the girl. The boy never wore this ring because his fingers were too thick; only his pinky could fit it. This was the first gift worth over a hundred yuan that the boy bought for the girl by saving money during his studies. The boy always kept this ring in the chest, washing and cleaning it from time to time.
In the chest, the boy also found several outfits given to him by the girl. The boy always thought these clothes were more fitting and comfortable than others. Although some were already quite old, and some even a bit worn out, the boy liked wearing these clothes.
By looking at the objects, the boy placed each one on the bed, quietly gazing at them. Memories flooded his mind, from the first time he invited the girl to attend a lecture, to the first time he gave her flowers to confirm their relationship, to the first kiss, to the scene of the girl's reluctance when the boy first went south to work... Unconsciously, the boy found tears welling up in his eyes.
