Then began to divide chopsticks, pots and pans, pots and pans. But it also took the morning with the victory in he...

We got to know each other by chance, he was an athlete when he was a student, once went with a friend to cheer in a competition, he and I knew each other. He's not a romantic person, but he's always there when I need him. You're the man I can be myself, without any cover when I'm around. So in my fourth year of college, I had a boyfriend. He is also a university student, one year younger than me. At first, I was a bit worried because I thought that age might hinder our relationship, I was more mature than my age, so I was even more worried. But in the end, through it all, you and I are together. At that time, we were all poor, we were from the provinces, we went to the city to study, we didn't have a computer, we didn't have a good phone, we didn't even have a motorbike. Every day, he often rides me on his bicycle, sometimes driving me to school, sometimes eating...
