Features: Is this what love is? Every day, my heart is filled with lingering thoughts, always looking forward to his arrival at dusk, even seeing the sun amidst a rainy day. Just as we part, I begin to miss him. His fingers seem to twirl around mine, his voice whispers softly in my ear. Sisters never told me that love tastes a little like gingerbread men—sweet and fragrant. The night bus circles endlessly in my life. Every night, that man arrives at the same station at the same time, and together, we form the entire scenery of the bus. When he handed me a box of warm milk, I was almost at a loss. I glanced at him in alarm, but the dim light made it hard to see his face clearly. Desperately, I took the milk, wanting to say something, but he had already walked to the back of the bus and sat down, creating a distance between us. I didn’t insist on anything, nor did I deliberately refuse. The world is full of all kinds of adventures, and mine began with a box of hot milk.
