Saint Valentine’s Day is coming when I got a regular text from one of my best friends, “How will you celebrate this festival?”
“I will celebrate it by myself.”I answered.
“Same here. Another Valentineless Valentine’s Day.”
“Yeah.”
“But it is okay.I have already been used to it after 120 Valentineless Valentine’s Days.”
“120?”I asked curiously.
“Besides the Saint Valentine’s Day imported from the western culture, there is our Chinese traditional lover’s day, i.e., the Double Seventh Day. In addition, there are two holidays we Chinese people habitually celebrate as lovers’s day—the Mid Autumn Day and the Singles Day. So altogether there are four Valentine’s Days in one year. I’m 30 years old now, so there have been 120 Valentine’s Days in my life by far, isn’t it true? ”
Yes it is very true, there are surprisingly so many romantic days reminding our loneliness? 

The atmosphere in the office gets very subtle from the first second of the working day, while everyone seems to be on the mysterious telephone calls now and then, many bunches of roses sending in, and many invitations being refused. The dinner buddies seem to have forgotten about their ways of social life at the same time. Since we have waited for so long, sine it is such a ceremonious day, every one decides to treat it seriously, and prefer to celebrate it by his own to spending it with a random date.

Kevin across my desk is a handsome and easygoing guy with thousands of friends. I heard him making calls all day long, “Tracy, could you go for a dinner with me? You are busy? Okay, talk later.” “Stella, do you still remember that I owe you a romantic dinner at that French restaurant? Next time? Ok bye. ” “Hey Carol, I know you like hagêndás, right? Oh you have a stomachache...I will call you next time.”

After many failures I finally heard his joyful voice when it is almost the off time, “Okay dokey movie theatre~~~~Doris, you know I love movies…yes you are right the most adopted type in art film is love story…better suited today, a special sweet holiday. Ok 7pm at the Huaxing movie theater. Bye. ”

His excited voice could be heard in the entire office, as well as the voice at the other end of the line, “Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is power off, please dial later. Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is power off, please dial later…”

On the following morning, I asked Fiona next to my desk how did she spent the romantic night.

“Oh forget it.” she said, “I didn’t know what I would do even we swiped off work. When I walked out of the office building and saw people holding roses in arms, a brilliant idea came across my mind. I immediately rushed to a florist store, and bought a huge armful of roses to sell in the Wangfujing area.”
“you made a fortune, did you?”
“No way. There WERE many people there planning to buy roses, but there were MORE people selling roses. The competition was very intense. The sun set, the roses started to fade, and I began to feel hungry. So I determinedly decided to give up this rose business and dispatched my roses to people free of charge.”

So in the busy street on the Saint Valentine’s Day, we saw a beautiful young girl in white clothes and long silky hair standing in the sunset, with fading roses and gave it to everyone that passed by.

As to myself, how did I spend that romantic night? I said I were on a diet, and lost all the dinner invitation. When I got back home, I suddenly felt so hungry that I opened the frige immediately and grabbed every food I could put fingers on and stuck them into my stomach. In no time, the entire 130-litred frige was cleared up by me before I sat down to ponder why the orexis of loneliness has such a huge volume.
