COLD RAIN

CHAPTER 36

Most people have many ideas about the “future” when they are young. Of course, Pon was not an exemption.

He used to love to think about it and he was not much better now either.

A slight difference from the others was that he didn’t just think about it but tried to put it into practice.

The online painting competition that he’d participated in at the end of the last year finally announced the list of winners on the eighth day of the New Year.

Pon won the best creative award for his unique idea. There were two ways to receive certificates and bonuses, on-site or by mail. After thanking everyone for their blessings in a post on Weibo,

Pon booked a high-speed rail ticket to S City, quietly preparing to go to get the prize by himself.

Along the way, he was going to take a trip to the company address given by a certain someone.

If he could see that someone, he would just say hello and have a little chat. If he couldn’t see him, he would drop off his stuff and leave, which was fine too, as long as his regards were delivered.

At the end of the year, Sammy had a health problem and spent a few days in the town’s small hospital on IV but there wasn’t any improvement.

When he heard about it, Dora-Hum-Hum helped contact the relevant experts in the city and asked them to come to check on her.

After they prescribed some medicines, she got much more comfortable within just two days.

So now Dora-Hum-Hum was not only a friend of Pon but also a great benefactor of the Kitjaruwannakul family.

At that time, Pon, who accidentally discovered that Weibo could also send voice messages, thanked him for his kindness and shyly sent his first voice message to Dora-Hum-Hum: “Hum-Hum, do you have many friends? You even have friends who are doctors so far away.”

He thought that the other party would also reply in a voice message but still got a text:
No, you are the only one.

Although Pon didn’t believe it, he was touched by being “the only one”.

Dora-Hum-Hum was indeed very kind to him, offering to help, responding to his requests and always returning messages in seconds, as if he really considered him his only friend.

Sincerity was repaid with sincerity, and one must treat others well with this in mind.

Before setting off, Pon spent most of the day making a 6-inch small cake, decorating it with several circles of lace border, painted fireworks in the middle and a rose pattern on the side.

He didn’t want to draw roses at first, but Hum-Hum liked them.

Thinking that it was just his goodwill, not actually gifting him giving him red roses, Pon awkwardly painted two roses, and their petals were as red as his face.

Before leaving, he took a plate of previously prepared chocolates from the fridge and brought them with him.

Pon thought about Valentine’s Day approaching, he didn’t know if Hum-Hum had chased his crush back. If he had, he would invite the two of them to eat together. If he hadn’t, he would comfort Hum-Hum with dessert.

It was perfect.

He thought of meeting an online friend as a simple matter, having a meal together at most, so he didn’t tell anyone and went on his way alone carrying an insulated bag with the cake and chocolates.

He was on the morning high-speed rail, and not long after the train started, he received a good morning message from Dora-Hum-Hum: Morning, are you up yet?
