In a very quiet and beautiful small town, there is a pair of very loving lovers. They go to the beach to watch the sunrise every day and to see the sunset at the beach. Everyone who sees them casts envious eyes on them. But one day, in a car accident, the girl was unfortunately seriously injured. She lay quietly on the hospital bed and did not wake up for several days and nights. During the day, the boy stayed in front of the bed and kept calling for his unconscious lover; at night, he went to the church in the small town to pray to God. He had cried all his tears. A month has passed, and the girl is still asleep, while the boy is already haggard, but he is still struggling to support himself. Finally one day, God was moved by this infatuated boy. So he decided to give this persistent boy an exception. God asked him: "Are you willing to use your life in exchange?" The boy replied without hesitation: "I do!" ?? God said: "Okay, I can make your lover wake up soon, but you have to agree to turn into a dragonfly for three years, are you willing?" At dawn, the boy had turned into a beautiful dragonfly. He said goodbye to God and flew to the hospital in a hurry. The girl really woke up, and she was still talking to a doctor next to her, but unfortunately he couldn't hear her. A few days later, the girl recovered and was discharged from the hospital, but she was not happy. She asked around about the boy's whereabouts, but no one knew where the boy had gone. The girl kept looking all day long, but the boy who had turned into a dragonfly was around her all the time, but he could not shout or hug, so he could only suffer her turning a blind eye silently. Summer has passed, the cool autumn wind blows off the leaves, and the dragonflies have to leave here. So he flew down on the girl's shoulder for the last time. He wanted to touch her face with his wings and kiss her forehead with his small mouth, but his weak body was still not enough for her to notice. In a blink of an eye, spring is here, and the dragonfly can't wait to fly back to find his lover. However, a tall and handsome man stood next to her familiar figure. At that moment, the dragonfly almost fell from the air. People talked about how seriously ill the girl became after the car accident, described how kind and cute the male doctor was, and how natural their love was. Of course, they also described how the girl was as happy as before. Dragonfly was extremely sad. In the next few days, he would often see the man taking his lover to watch the sunrise at the beach, and watch the sunset at the beach at night, but he himself could do nothing except occasionally resting on her shoulder. This year's summer was particularly long, and the dragonfly flew painfully low every day. He no longer had the courage to get close to his former lover. The whispers between her and the man, the happy laughter between him and her, took his breath away. In the summer of the third year, Dragonfly no longer visited her lover often. Her shoulders were gently hugged by the male doctor, and her face was gently kissed by the male doctor. She had no time to pay attention to a sad dragonfly, and she was not in the mood to miss the past. God's three-year deadline is coming soon. On the last day, Dragonfly's former lover held a wedding with the male doctor. The dragonfly flew quietly into the church and landed on God's shoulder. He heard the lovers below swear to God: I do! He watched the male doctor put the ring on his former lover's hand, and then watched them kiss sweetly. The dragonfly shed tears of sadness. God sighed:?#20320;Do you regret it? ?#34619; Ting wiped away her tears: "No?" God said with a hint of joy: "Then, you can become yourself again tomorrow." ?? The dragonfly shook his head: "? Let me be a dragonfly for the rest of my life, Pang?? Some fates are destined to be lost, and some fates will never have good results. You don't have to own someone to love someone, but you must love them well if you have someone. Is there a dragonfly on your shoulder?"
