My Crush Also Has a Crush on Me!-Chapter 215: Mr. Shen’s Love Diary

2010.7.7, Saturday, cloudy.

Nai Tuanzi’s brother is not yet 10 years old; the little boy no longer likes the nickname Little Ball, declaring it unmanly and threatening to run away from home if anyone continues to call him that.

He even calls his second uncle "bro" and flips their seniority, but it’s amusing how the boy is becoming more rascally by the day, having already jokingly pledged eternal love to the little girl downstairs named Little Xingyao.

The two children are of the same age, but Little Huixing was born two months earlier. He says that in ten years, he will go to her house to ask for her hand in marriage. I remember he used to say he hated Little Huixing downstairs for her constant crying since he found it annoyingly noisy.

Later on, he changed his tune, saying he now loved girls who cry, claiming Little Huixing cries just to get his attention, and that he has the girl’s ways all figured out.

I don’t know where he gets his confidence from, probably has something to do with his second uncle.

After all, his eldest uncle Fu Yi is mature and steady, his youngest uncle Wen Tian is gentle as jade, but the second uncle...

I heard that Little Huixing’s parents downstairs are getting a divorce, and the little girl went with her father. Unluckily, the boy named Shen Tingfeng is heartbroken; he has to part with his childhood sweetheart.

That kid stole the purse his mother gave me to present to the little girl, saying it’s a token of his commitment. I was furious; that was hand-sewn by the girl for me, a token of love from his mother to me.

Then I thought about it and let it go; it’s good as long as she’s by my side.

2010.3.9, Monday, rainy.

This morning, I was woken up by her crying; she was huddled in my arms, clutching my pajamas, smearing snot and tears all over, saying she dreamt I died in a fire and held onto me, crying for a long time.

No matter how I tried to soothe her, she could not be consoled. Ever since that dream, she’s been fretful about me, making me afraid too - afraid I might inadvertently perish in a blaze.

Because I have so much to cherish,

She went to a parent-teacher conference for our son today. His academic performance is just like mine, um... not like his mother the underachiever.

Also, our son has grown taller, thankfully inheriting my height—I told her she was a bit short, and she got so angry.

2010.8.9, Thursday, torrential rain.

Our wedding anniversary and her birthday are on the same day; she said she had a surprise for me tonight. I cleaned up thoroughly, only for her to show up in ancient attire, playing the guzheng for me...

I...

I love her so much.

2010.11.19, Tuesday, overcast.

We had our first big fight.

She was so angry she moved back to her mother’s, and I rushed over to coax her in the middle of the night. It took a long time, and she showed no reaction until I acted roguishly; that’s when she melted, turns out that’s her thing.

2010.1.29, Friday, light rain.

Another new year; fortunate to spend another New Year with her. I feel pretty guilty because I often can’t be there for her and our son due to work. I’m very lucky, she’s very understanding.

But the more considerate she becomes, the guiltier I feel.

2010.10.28, Wednesday, foggy.

Today I saw again what it means ’for a mother, strong is just the base.’ She has always been pampered, petite, neither tall nor plump, speaking softly and looking incredibly sweet.

Nai Tuanzi had a fever, and she managed the older one while caring for the younger one, taking Nai Tuanzi to the hospital by herself.

When she came back, she was carrying the little one in her arms and leading the older one by the hand. Fortunately, the little boy was well-behaved and didn’t cause any trouble for his mother.

2010.12.16, Tuesday, blizzard.

Haha... today on a mission, I rescued a girl from a fire. She happened to be at a nearby mall with the two kids, probably guessing when I would emerge, so she got close to the fire.

From afar, she saw me carrying out the girl, and then she got jealous. She wasn’t like this before; she understood what my job entailed.

Later, I realized that the girl in my arms had an interest in me... I didn’t notice. I couldn’t feel much through the protective suit, just the girl’s intense heat.

2010.2.14, Wednesday, sunny.

For some reason, each time I go out on a call, I’ve started to fear not coming back. After thinking long and hard, I made a decision.

2010.2.18, Thursday, overcast.

I resigned. To be honest, I’m a bit reluctant to let go, but I think it’s enough. From graduating college at 23 to 50 years old, I’ve given 27 years to the fire department. I think it’s enough—I just feel like I’ve owed her a lot.

After resigning, I want to take her traveling, spend more time with her.

2010.12.9, Saturday, sunny.

I truly wish to be with her forever.

2010.3.9, Monday, sunny.

She will always be my little girl.

Forever...

2010.2.13, Saturday, light rain.

I hope to accompany her for a very, very long time.

But...

2010.9.5 Sunday, overcast.

Unconsciously, I’ve spent a lifetime with her. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Content.

2010.10.28, Friday, light snow.

Fireflies are romantically fragile.

She strived to give me light.

2010.11.27, Thursday, sleet.

She cried so sorrowfully; I’m also very sad. It’s regrettable that over the years, I haven’t spent much time with her.

2010.12.13, Friday, sunny.

My time accompanying her ends here, which is very sad...

I’ve left her behind.

One last introduction: "My name is Shen Liguang, 25 years old, a graduate from B University, and I’m a firefighter. My mission is to protect the people, to protect you."

"Nice to enter your world."

"And you?"
