It takes a lot of coincidence for two strangers who have only met each other once to meet again in a big city. Fortunately, coincidences are always everywhere, and soon the young man met the girl for the second time in the elevator of his apartment building and was surprised to find that her newly rented apartment was next door to his. The young man would say hello to the girl he ran into when he was out to take out the trash, chat with the girl in the cafe below the apartment building who was also in the coffee line, give a hand to the girl who was still carrying a large item to her new apartment, and sincerely praise her for the delicious baked cookies she gave him as a thank you gift. Five points of coincidence plus five points of positivity become ten points of friendship and familiarity. This is how many strangers can become friends. But the young man didn't just want to become friends with the girl only. Every time he met the other person's eyes, he felt his heart, which had been empty, fill up a little more and sink a little more. This is a novel experience, he never thought that one day his interactions with people will really use that heart, and the so-called heart to heart, not to give their hearts to each other, but all the good interactions with each other, are put into their hearts. The kind of thing that fills the heart, through time fermentation, turned into the love and admiration. In fact, from the first encounter with her, there was something in the other person that attracted him deeply, he could not say. But it doesn't matter, if it is easy to explain the ins and outs of a relationship, what kind of dazzling love is it? Love is the most hidden thing in this world, it makes the young man's heart heated up to a blazing degree, whether it is a coy blush, or rapid breathing, is the heart of the love of more than can already be filled, find ways in the outward emanations of the way. But what does the girl he adores think? The young man was not sure. Even if she will be amused by the playful words he said, will also be humming the same old song with him when the heart will smile, but the faint despair will always be in the smile lapsed floating between her eyebrows, can not be dissipated. The young man now knows very well that the happiness born of love is not like this, anticipation and fear torment him at the same time, so he no longer feels comfortable in front of the girl, but more stammering, wanting to say something. The girl was more open, and on the night she went to the rooftop of the building to observe the meteor shower, she took the initiative to tell the young man what she was really worried about. "I have a broken crack in my heart." The girl whispered, "I had thought it was okay, but ......" Once she too had a complete heart, a heart full of true love, stemming from a past lover. At that time, she was happy, happy, would guard the stove in the winter nights to make a warm pot of old soup for her lover, and would also lean her head upward when the spring sunshine spilled over her lover's shoulders. But a betrayal and separation ended that love affair, not only knocking over the original love in her heart and losing it, but also shattering the heart itself into several pieces, which took her a long time to put back together. Unfortunately, the heart that was put back together had a small gap, and could no longer hold the fullness of love like it did before. I thought at the time, "If it's cracked, it's cracked, and I'm not going to love anyone else the same way I loved that person anyway.
