A Letter to Honey

This post was extracted from my early NetEase blog. NetEase Blog is no longer operating, but looking back, these words are still quite interesting, so I decided to move them over as intact as possible. It is mainly kept as a record; after all, it is from a long time ago, so the quality of the writing, images, and links may all be affected.

This post was originally published on November 8, 2010. I was about 21 years old at the time and was studying in college.

Hello, little one
Are you surprised to see this letter?
I had originally planned to write it to you secretly, but you, silly girl, actually asked me to write one for you. To preserve the surprise of this letter, your brother still decided not to tell you and to write it secretly, hehe.

I have written it, but as for overly sweet and mushy words, your brother really cannot write them, so you will just have to make do with this level for now.

Let me count. Today is November 6. I will mail it to you when I go back to school on the 9th. It should arrive at your school in five days, and should just about make it in time for your birthday. If I have calculated correctly, it should be your 22nd birthday, right? For the first birthday since we got together, it is such a pity that your brother cannot spend it with you… But think about the future, hehe, then we can be together every day…

Isn't love magical? You do not deliberately go looking for it. When the feeling comes, two hearts naturally come together. Mm, it really is magical. As for the two of us, it should count as you chasing me first, hehe. You kept deliberately chatting with me for no reason, and then brought a super handsome guy home. That sounds a little exaggerated, but it also seems destined: at exactly the right time, you asked exactly the right person exactly the right question, and then it became like this, haha.

When writing this letter, we have officially been together for 265 days, which is 6,360 hours, which is 381,600 minutes, which is 22,896,000 seconds. Mm, more than twenty million seconds should count as a long time, right? If I counted one number per second, counting to twenty-two million eight hundred ninety-six thousand would also take 265 days. So we should count as an old married couple, right, hehe. There are still 100 days until one year. At that time, little sister must give me two gifts, one Valentine's Day gift and one anniversary gift. Mm, not one of them can be missing. If one is missing, I will smack your butt.

In these two hundred and a half days, we have actually lived quite happily, haven't we? We have pressed the road together, run in the park together, eaten snacks by the roadside together, climbed Jiuhua Mountain together…… It should count as very happy, right? I do not know what you think, but that is what I think anyway.

Then, in the days ahead, we will also go to Huangshan together, go to Jiuzhaigou together, go to Dunhuang together, and walk through all the places we like. Haha, two happy little ones.

Now your brother has come out to work first. You should focus on preparing for your college-to-undergraduate exam. By the time you graduate from your undergraduate program, maybe your brother will already have achieved a little something. Then you can come out and work with your brother, and then we can buy a little nest of our own….. Hehe. Of course, this is the best-case budget. To guard against the unexpected, your brother has also made Plan B, Plan C, Plan D… Plan Y, Plan Z. This way, no matter what happens, our life will be protected. Just to say one casually: Plan B. If your brother cannot adapt to Shanghai or has a very hard time here, then I will go back to Hefei, find a job near your school, struggle for a few years in a second- or third-tier city, and then settle down back home. We would still be very happy.

Hehe
No matter what
For our future happy life, come on!!!!

Finally, your brother will make you a cake by hand. Hehe, it must be very delicious.
