I was dying, and yet I don't remember what happened.I have imagined many ways to die, alcoholism, falling from a building, car accident, terminal illness... I can accept death no matter what, and I have nothing to love in life.But, damn it, I don't want to die so vaguely.I realized that I was about to fall asleep in eternal darkness, and panic grew like vines from my heart and wrapped itself around my body.Can't move.A secret door in my mind seemed to open. I am five years old.It was the first time in my memory that the whole family got together to celebrate my birthday.My mother made a funny birthday hat and put it on my head, and my father brought out my favorite fresh fruit cake.Candles are stuck on the cake, one, two, three, four, five.They were lit one by one by my father, emitting a soft and warm firelight in the light that was deliberately adjusted to the dimmest level.My gift is a robotic reindeer powered by solar energy.It's small, about the size of a 500ml water glass. "It's an intelligent robot that can chat with you to relieve boredom," said the father.After I heard it, I tried to say to the reindeer: "Hello." It immediately said: "Hello." I was amused by its cute appearance, and I couldn't stop giggling.I kept asking it questions one after another, and it always answered fluently.Dad fixed the camera on the tripod and pressed the delayed capture button.He ran to my side and hugged me on either side of me and my mother, and I hugged the reindeer.click.a photo.Later, this photo has been hung on the wall of the entrance of the house.This reindeer also became my best friend my whole life.

I am sixteen years old.I had never participated in any basketball games organized by the school before. As a person nicknamed "Sorry" in the class and a person who was always embarrassed, when the class formed a basketball team, I was embarrassed to sign up.I exist in this class abruptly like a clown. I have no part in anything, but can only be used as a joke for everyone.I was actually pretty good at basketball, and in the days when my parents were out at work, I would just shoot hoops in the yard until I was exhausted.The basket was installed by my father and fixed to the trunk of a very tall tree.I dribble, layup, jump, throw.I can still remember this set of actions when I close my eyes.The day before the basketball game, Zeng Heng asked me after returning to the dormitory: "Hey, Sorry! Have you signed up for the basketball game? Don't you often shoot in the yard? You should like playing basketball very much, right?" With a greasy smile on my face, I felt an unspeakable disgust in my heart.I didn't bother to talk to him, just shook my head.He giggled, "I knew it, the basket your dad installed for you is just for display. Hahaha!" Early the next morning, I went to the sports committee and told me that I would join the class basketball team.The sports committee looked at me, couldn't hold back the smile, and asked me to be a substitute.Fortunately, it was finally my turn with two minutes left in the game.But the girls screamed when they saw Zeng Heng's handsome posture, and the four people in the team cooperated. I was the extra one, and no one passed the ball to me.Until the last three seconds, our class trailed by one point, Zeng Heng missed a jump shot, I jumped up and grabbed the rebound, jumped again, and dunked the ball firmly into the basket.Then, our class won.The crowd was silent for no reason at first, and then burst into cheers one after another: "Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" The students in the class rushed up to lift me up, shouting "Sorry!" ". "Hey, can I not call you Sorry?" I said.But no one heard, they still shouted "Sorry".I was angry and anxious, but smiled from the bottom of my heart.

Then, I was twenty-one.I met Xiao Di for the first time that day.On the university campus where the snow fell in December, I hurried to the big classroom to listen to a lecture with the materials in hand, and accidentally bumped into a person.It's a girl.Wearing a black woolen skirt, long boots, and a red coat, she looked lively in the snow. "I'm sorry." I apologized a bit.She didn't answer, and although I lowered my head, I felt her eyes sizing me up.After a while, she said, "My name is Xiao Di. Excuse me, what year and month is it today?" Then I looked up at her. The hat is all covered.These few sentences she said are very popular opening remarks recently.Those young people who follow time travel TV series love to use this set.I shrugged, as if I understood her rhetoric well, and didn't reply.But her watery eyes made me feel dizzy.

"Hey, this is my mobile phone number." She wrote a line of numbers on a piece of paper and stuffed it into my hand, "Call me!" She turned around and asked as she left, and I nodded numbly.She was jumping and jumping as she walked.Like my reindeer. And then, yes, then I was twenty-five.How real it all is.You can touch Xiao Di, her skin is still warm.The sound of the waves even caused my eardrums to vibrate slightly.She took the ring and said "you're so stupid".The breath of her words licked me, a little itchy.The ring was on her finger... Beep—— There was a long piercing sound.All images disappear.The sound is gone, the breath is gone, the touch is gone.The world went black for a while before I gradually felt my regular breathing.I moved my fingers, and what I touched were instruments, leather goods, and cables.

Oh.I think back.So he reached out to take off the hood, and the tears... couldn't be stopped at all.I know what's up with these machines.They are awesome. Everything needs no words.I know Alan introduced me to one good thing.I unplug the cable from my body and slowly get down from the recliner.We didn't speak, immersed in our best memories, walking back side by side.When we parted, I finally said, "Well, thank you!" "Nothing. I knew you'd like it. By the way, at the bar that day..." "Bar? What bar?" He patted me on the shoulder and laughed softly.
