Well, today I want to talk about a time when I had a chance to reunite with someone I hadn't seen in a long time, and that's Elen. You know, she's the same age as me, and we used to be best friends. In terms of appearance, she's, uh, average height and a bit overweight. She has a round face, long, black hair, and brown eyes. You know, before that, probably in 2018, she emigrated to Da Nang. So she was studying there, and that's also the reason why we last talked with each other almost six years ago. Well, by then, you know, we got on really well with each other since we had a lot in common. You know, we hardly ever fell out, and we saw eye to eye in most situations. After she arrived in Da Nang, um, we didn't contact each other because, you know, at the time I didn't have a smartphone, so I lost touch with her. Fortunately, you know, two months ago, I ran into her while shopping in a mall. Uh, I recognized her instantly because of a small birthmark on her neck, you know, like it's so unique. Needless to say, I was so surprised and excitedly gave her a warm hug. Then we decided to go to a coffee shop, and we spent the whole afternoon talking and catching up on what we'd been up to until then. You know, she told me a lot about her new life, her new friends, her boyfriend, and you know, that I should, uh, say sorry for not contacting her. Well, of course, she didn't get angry about that. Um, and now we're still friends.
