In the summer of 2022, I will return to Vietnam to play from early August to October 13, 2022, nearly two and a half months. Linh still stays in Germany. We've only known each other for more than half a year and yet we've been "disappeared" for two months kkk. When I return to Vietnam, I'm like a fish in water - friends, family, everything to go and do. And people in Germany are sad and sad.
Besides, there's also a time zone difference. Many times, after a little argument, we have to wait all day or even a few days before we can talk again because online hours don't coincide. Being in a long distance relationship for a short period of time is enough of a challenge.
Yet he still silently prepared gifts and ordered cakes to celebrate his birthday 😊.
I flew back three days before my birthday. As soon as I entered the room, I saw a large gift box placed right on the bed, carefully wrapped. Looks like you're very well prepared. At that time, I was both embarrassed and excited hahahaha. But I still decided not to open it — I had to open it on my birthday.
When the day came, the two of them went to receive the cake first, then when they got home they started opening gifts.
Opening layer after layer, wrapping paper, big box, small box... opening and closing but still haven't seen the main dish.
And then I finally saw it.
That is the purple iPhone 14 Pro Max — just released in early October, currently extremely hot and sold out. Most orders are not available, you have to wait for the right time to "hunt" for them.
Actually, besides my grandparents, parents and uncle, this is the first time in my life that someone else has given me a gift of such great value. Normally, if someone invites me to a restaurant meal, I feel embarrassed, let alone an expensive phone like that.
Because it is so valuable, I am both happy and stressed. Not because of the item, but because of the feeling that someone puts so much effort and seriousness into you.
At that time, I thought, maybe it's not just a birthday gift. It's like a way to say: even if we're far apart, even if there's a time zone difference, even if we quarrel a few times... we're still appreciated.
Not only was it the first gift of great value I had ever received — it was also the first time I clearly felt that I was being loved seriously and kindly.
