subject: North & South [print this page] Jin was getting sad with the graduation approaching. She was from Shenyang. After high school, she came to study in a university in Guangdong. Jin felt very lonely in this city. She had no friend, no relative here. Some times, she felt regretted that she chose this city.
One day, she felt so sick that she could not get up. Her roommates sent her to the hospital. Then her roommates left because they had to attend the class. Doctor said..." it was not very serious, maybe you haven't adapted yourself to the new environment... " Jin felt relieved that she did not get any disease. She did not want her parents worry. She got some medicine, rested for a while on the chair, and then felt better.
In the hallway of the hospital, she bumped into a guy, and made his medicine dropped. She said..."oh, I am so sorry." The guy picked up his medicine, said..." It's ok." He saw the girl in front of him looked very pale. "Are you sick?" "Yeah, I am not feeling well." "Oh, are you studying in this university?" He saw the university card on her coat. "Yes." "Then let me take you to your dorm, I also study there." She accepted.
After that, they became friends. Ren gave her a lot of care. They began dating and then became girl friend and boy friend.
Some people like graduation, but some do not. Jin and Ren belong to the second part of people. Ren already had a very good job here, and his family did not want him to leave this city. But Jin's family wanted her to go back to Shenyang.
Jin called her mother after a long time hesitation. "Mom, I want to stay in Guangdong. I ...." Mother shouted before Jin finished her words. "What? Why? You can not stay there. You have to come back! When you are studying in Guangdong, do you know how much I miss you? How much I am worried about you?"
Jin bought a ticket to go home. On the day she left, Ren showed up. She did not know whether this was the last time they saw each other or not. Will there be another chance? Will he come to Shenyang?
She came back to Shenyang after a long long trip. Before, in winter vacation and summer vacation, she was excited to go home to see her parents. But this time was different, yes, she did miss her parents; but she was further away from Ren. She felt her heart was very heavy during the whole journey.
In a winter morning, she received a package. Her heart almost jumped out when she saw it was from Ren. She opened it and found out it was a down coat. The style was her favorite. Then she found a card in the pocket. The hand writing was so familiar to her. "Jin, how are you? I know the winter in Shenyang is very cold. I want you to be warm. I hope you can wear this coat." Jin could not help crying. "Of course I will wear it, I like it." Ren's words were simple, but they meant a lot to Jin.
Jin put the coat on, it fitted her perfectly. Jin felt glad that Ren still cared about her.
