There was a slight problem after that - when I woke up, I had to finish the cake myself.After all, the cake can be eaten again here.It's a sweet annoyance.

And with the worries that did not arise from Tom's birthday, but secretly born earlier, Tom and I got along for a long time, but after such a long time, it seems that there is no time to stop In the end, I pushed this worry back to the depths of my brain.Time travel is something I can't control at all. Instead of worrying too much, it's better to let nature take its course.

Time flies very quickly in the alternation of day and night. I carry out various activities with a kind of energy that I don't know where it comes from every day, and the one that takes up the most of my time is of course studying.

It's not a fun thing to do, but it's something I have to do at this stage.

In fact, I always feel confused in the face of this, so step by step, from elementary school to junior high school to high school, and then university, get a diploma, but after graduation, it is very likely to work in a job that has nothing to do with the university major, so what am I doing? What are you doing all this for?

Many times I have a sense of emptiness and irritability that cannot be dispatched. I especially want to tear up the textbook in my hand, but in the end I still do nothing.I'm not an out-of-the-ordinary person, and I can't do anything too out-of-the-way in the end.I'm so used to this routine that it's really hard for me to break out of the routine.Furthermore, after breaking the rules?What should I do?Why should I cut off the path I am taking if there is no other path?Isn't this suicidal?

I have never told my parents about this kind of confusion. I can only tell the people around me. However, there are many classmates around me who have the same confusion as me. In the end, no one can help anyone else.Apart from complaining together and venting temporarily, there is no use for it.

I didn't tell Tom about this trouble, after all, Tom is so many years younger than me, some things can only be told to people in the same situation.And I don't want to spread such bad feelings on him.Yes, every time I think about it, I just feel bad.Facing young children, of course I don’t want to show my decadence and melancholy, I have to set a good example for my children!

{learn Chinese? }I looked at Tom with some surprise: {Did I hear correctly just now? }

{That's right. }Tom looked at me seriously, a little dissatisfied: {Is it strange that I want to learn Chinese? }

{Uh... a little strange, after all, you didn't show any curiosity before,} I rubbed the back of my head: {Why do you want to learn this all of a sudden? }

{Just preach or not, don’t ask so many why. }

I vaguely saw Tom blushing.At that time, I had a guess in my mind-could Tom learn Chinese for me?

I thought so, but didn't ask. I thought that if I asked, Tom would be shy and give up learning Chinese. After all, he is an awkward child.

{I can teach you,} I nodded in agreement: {But I'm afraid I can't teach well. }

{It doesn't matter. }Tom shook his head: {I'm so smart, even if you can't teach me well, I can learn well. }

This kid really deserves a beating.But for the sake of him learning Chinese for me, or... no, I ruthlessly ravaged|slapped his face, and then he glared at me again.

{Tom, time goes by so fast, I'm done,} Celebrated my birthday with Tom and I put my arm around Tom's neck in bed and gave him a smack in the face.

Tom leaned over and kissed me on the cheek too.

I am so happy that I am about to ascend to heaven.

{Tom, you actually took the initiative to kiss me! } I yelled in shock.

{What's weird,}Tom frowned, trying to hide his embarrassment by being prim: {You've kissed me so many times. }

{But you rarely take the initiative,} I covered my cheeks, my face turned red with excitement: {I'm really super super happy. }

{……as long as you are happy. }Tom spoke in a low voice, but I didn't tell him that my hearing and eyesight have gotten better and better since day and night, and now I can hear Tom talking to himself in a low voice.If you tell him this, he will be furious.

So far, he has muttered a lot to himself to make me happy, even though he thought I didn't hear it.

{Hey, Tom,} I hugged Tom tighter: {This feels really good now... I like you so much. }

{Don't...don't say something embarrassing!Fool! }

{Hey, isn't this bad? }I made a dejected look on purpose: {Then I won’t talk about it in the future. }

{You guys are really...forget it, whatever you want, you can say whatever you like. }Tom blushed, embarrassed and annoyed, and I couldn't help but giggle.

{Do not laugh. }Tom glared at me disapprovingly.

{Okay I don't laugh. } As I said that, I buried my face in Tom's shoulder and laughed so hard that my shoulders couldn't stop shaking, causing Tom to scratch my hair angrily, although he didn't grab it very hard.

"Bang bang—"

{what sound? } I raised my head, looked towards the window, and saw a dark mass outside the window.I took a closer look and it seemed to be a bird.

{What is that? }I was so puzzled, but I didn't have the guts to look over. I've always been hard on living things, and snakes are just one of them.

{coward. }Tom despised me coolly, and walked to the window: {It's an owl. }

{owl? }I'm a little surprised: {What is the owl doing here?Looking for something to eat? }

{It appears to be biting a letter. }Tom opens the window, confused, and takes the letter.However, after Tom received the letter, the owl did not leave, but squatted on the windowsill and began to comb its feathers.

{So there are still people who use owls to deliver letters,} I leaned over: {I thought only carrier pigeons were used. }

Tom lit the oil lamp, and looked at the envelope through the oil lamp.Tom's address was written in detail on the envelope, even the number of rooms from the left in the orphanage was written.Tom and I looked at each other for a while, then opened the envelope.

{What are these? } After reading the letter, I was a little surprised: {Is there any magic school in this world? }

{Should be a lie. } Tom said so, and then the owl standing on the windowsill flapped its wings vigorously a few times, looking very dissatisfied with Tom's words.

{I think it might be true, after all, he writes so seriously. }I stared at the letter for a while: {You don’t want to reply anyway, so I’ll reply to you. }

{……up to you. }

I took a piece of paper and wrote with a pen:

{Dear Mr. Principal:} I paused, and decided to reply in a tone of trusting the content of this letter: {Actually, I have felt that I am different from ordinary people since I was a child. I have a special ability-although everyone thinks that I have a nervous problem,} Tom poked my waist with his finger next to me, I smiled and continued to write: {I think if this ability explodes, I might be able to rule the world in a minute} Tom next to me hit me right now, and then took the pen away from my hand: {Don't write something weird. }

{Yes, yes, I was wrong. }I suppressed a laugh, and turned to another piece of paper, this time I was going to use a serious tone, Tom is really not humorous enough: {I am very interested in Hogwarts school, I have a strange ability since I was a child, but I still don't know what that is.Maybe school can help me untangle my confusion so that I can get a good handle on it.But I have a question, I've never heard of those books, and I don't know where to buy them, what are wands and broomsticks?By the way, does the school have a scholarship system?Can I advance a scholarship?With my ingenuity...} Tom next to me hit me on the head again, I crossed out the words behind the scholarship and wrote: {I will work hard to win the scholarship. }

{Don't make some strange promises...} Tom looked at me helplessly when he saw that I had finished writing the letter.

{If you can advance the scholarship, don't you want it? }I looked at Tom: {Compared with some poor scholarships, I think with your personality, you would be more inclined to advance scholarships. }

Tom looked helpless, but he also agreed. He looked at me, didn't say anything more about this topic, but looked at the owl: {Do you want to send it? }

{of course yes. }I tied the letter to the owl's feet: {Isn't it a waste of time not to post it. }

{Forget it,} Tom looked at the owl and sighed, and after the owl flew away, he turned his head and looked at me again and sighed: {You are happy. }

I couldn't help laughing when I saw Tom looking like a grown-up.
