"Jingle~" The bear gently pushed open the door of a flower store.

"Ah, a visitor, please, what kind of flowers do you need to buy?" The cat, who was originally looking down and gently stroking the petals of the flowers, heard the doorbell and looked up at the bear with a gentle smile and soft voice.

At the first glance of the cat's smile, the bear instantly blushed, dispelled the original idea of a casual look, and stammered, "I ...... came to see the flowers."

The cat heard the bear's reply and laughed as the bear was at a loss for words.

The cat wiped the tears of laughter out of his eyes: "Come to the flower store not to see the flowers, to see me?"

You're better looking than the flowers, the bear thought secretly in his mind.

"I'll just look at ......," said the bear.

"Look at it, look at it, tell me which bouquet you like." The cat greeted.

Bear nodded a head, in this small flower store back and forth several rounds, flowers did not see much, but secretly looked at the cat several times, a glance after a glance, as if never enough to see the same.

"This bouquet, right?" Finally, the bear pointed to a bouquet of flowers and said to the cat.

"Ah, light green hyacinths, a flower I recently bred especially, how discerning."

The cat skillfully wrapped the flowers, tied a pretty bow with a light blue ribbon, as she had done countless times before, and handed them to the bear: "Here."

Many of the customers would say thank you after buying the flowers and leave with a smile on their face, and the flowers might be given to themselves, to their loved ones, or perhaps to someone important or desirable.

However, the bear did not take it, his eyes averted and said, "It's a flower for you ......"

Then, with his head bowed, the bear sent the flowers into the cat's arms and turned to run away.

"Ding bell ~" the bear did not dare to look the cat in the eyes, almost fell away.

The cat hooked the corners of his mouth, hugged the flower to his chest, buried his head in and inhaled deeply, the flower was fresh, emitting the freshness of the dew and the fragrance of the flower, so beautiful, just like their encounter.

The bear was in such a hurry that he didn't even notice the cat's reddened earlobes.

What a funny bear, thought the cat, with a sweetness in his heart, no one has ever sent me flowers yet ...... So, will he come again tomorrow?

You see, we had just met and were already looking forward to the next reunion ......

In the following months, the bear came almost every day, at first to buy flowers, then to send flowers, and then to chat with the cat "without thinking", sometimes there was no business, the bear would sit with the cat for an afternoon chatting, the bear gradually occupied the cat's life.

In fact, Bear is a writer, he has a lot of whimsical ideas, will write some funny and playful little sentences.

But when he meets the cat, he becomes clumsy and inarticulate. He cannot say the witty words in the article, but only blushes, and then gradually becomes red in the cat's gentle smile, and finally says goodbye in a hurry, and then looks forward to seeing each other tomorrow.

Since there are some words that cannot be said, let's write them down.

So, when the cat receives flowers, it always finds some small cards, sometimes with a big smiley face drawn on them, just like the bear facing the cat who can't say anything, but can only giggle in a silly way.

Or some charming poems or small sentences, sometimes shy and subtle, sometimes straightforward and warm, which always imply what the bear wants to say to the cat.

"Your smile, as warm as the spring sun."

"After I met you, I realized that you are my whole world."

"Whenever I see you, my heart leaps like a mountain full of flowers."

"Your smile is as fresh and beautiful as that light green hyacinth."

......

That day, the cat and the bear chatted as usual.

"The flowers here are like expectant women waiting to be taken away by whichever gentleman they like, full of hope and apprehension, so who do you want to take away today?" The cat smiled and asked.

"I ...... think, I want to take you away, you are the most beautiful flower in my heart, can you?" How could the bear not hear the deep meaning of the cat.

"If I am also a flower, then ...... of course ...... I can," said the cat.

So, the bear and the cat got together, and it started with love at first sight, and they fell in love.

Even if they are together, the bear still does not forget to prepare small surprises for the cat every day.

A small card, a bouquet of flowers, or, perhaps, a ring ......

Everything was so beautiful that the bear and the cat lived happily together for many, many years.

Until that day came.

That day, the cat came back late from the flower store, and the bear angrily questioned the cat.

The cat stammered and could not say anything.

In fact, he should have thought of it, the cat has always been very punctual home, why was it late that day.

The cat walked and suddenly forgot the way home, she tried desperately to think but could not remember, tossed back and forth for a long time before she could barely remember.

The cat was terrified because in the end she would forget herself and the bear, but she couldn't control it, and her memory declined like a wilted flower, withering petal by petal.

When the cat was not too sick, the bear would ask, "Who are you?" The cat said, "I don't know."

The bear asked again, "Who am I?" The cat would smile and say, "You are a bear, my favorite bear."

I wouldn't forget you even if I forgot myself, Bear ......

Later, the bear asked, "Who are you?" The cat said, "I don't know."

The bear asked again, "Who am I?" The cat said, "You are familiar, but I don't know who you are ......"

The cat would no longer smile at the bear, and her gaze became dull day after day.

How terrible it is that the person you love the most forgets about you, treats you like a stranger, but can do nothing but watch the person you love the most go step by step into the abyss.

When the cat was on its deathbed, a bit of starlight suddenly appeared in its eyes, and the bear trembled and put its ear to the cat's mouth.

The cat gasped and said, "Forget ...... forget me, Bear, if ...... you can't forget, just ...... go on a trip and see the sights I haven't seen the scenery ......"

Silly cat, how can I forget you, my world corner is your traces, how can say forget on forget? I will probably always remember you until my heart stops beating, and only death can stop me from thinking about you.

The cat's voice is getting lower and lower, inaudible breathing ......

The bear buried the cat on the slope of a mountain with flowers, and then set out on a journey alone.

The bear began his journey alone, he has been to the sea, looking at the azure sea, smelling the slightly salty sea breeze, but thinking about the cat.

He went to the mountains, looking at the red sun rising, the sea of clouds floating, where is the cat?

Have also been to the valley, see the flowing water murmuring, mountain flowers, everywhere, the cat will like it here ......

The bear became a windy bear, and every time he went to a place the bear would write to the cat and tell him what he had seen and heard, just as he had done when the cat was still there.

Everyone only saw a bear covered with wind and rain, but no one knew that he had ever settled down.

At last, the bear came to a beautiful valley where, strangely enough, light green hyacinths were blooming, the sun was shining brightly, the flowers were crowded together, and a large sea of flowers swayed in the wind.

The light green hyacinths were the flowers that the bear had first given to the cat.

The bear has traveled a lot and seen a lot of scenery that many people can't see in their lifetime, he is so tired, weak, even the bones are sore.

The sun was so warm that it reminded the bear of the cat's smile, so beautiful.

Bear didn't want to go any further, he missed the cat, he wanted to see the cat, this time, he wanted to tell the cat himself about the beautiful scenery!

In a trance, a picture flashed in front of Bear's eyes, when they had just met, and their hearts were plotting to spend the rest of their lives together ......

"Dingbell~" the doorbell rang again.

"Excuse me, what kind of flowers do you need to buy?"

"I ...... came to see the flowers ......"

You are better looking than the flowers ......

"Today, who do you want to take away?"

"I ...... I think, I want to take you ......"

"You are the most beautiful flower in my heart."

Finally, the bear collapsed in the middle of a mountainous sea of flowers, with a smile on his face
