Jasmine

At the bar, before he had time to ask Xiaobai, Xiaobai opened his mouth first: "Xiao Ran, who did you buy this delicious food for? Such a big bag?"

Xiao Ran hurriedly took out a bag of potato chips from the bag, and handed it to Xiaobai, "Of course I bought it for you, Miss Bai!"

Xiaobai looked at the potato chips in Xiao Ran's hand, then looked at the big bag again, pouted and shook his head, "I don't think so, forget it, I'd better not compete with some people for potato chips. You also leave it to her to eat!"

Xiao Ran stepped forward with a smile on his face, "It's really for you, take it quickly! Put the bag there, take whatever you want, and there are fruits in it."

"Then I'm really being impolite?" Xiao Bai said with a smile, with the corners of his mouth slanted.

Xiao Ran nodded.

Xiaobai tore open the bag of potato chips, squeezed a piece into his mouth, smashed it, said "delicious", then squeezed a piece out of it and fed it into the mouth of the girl opposite.

The girl's cheeks were flushed, and she avoided it with embarrassment, said something to Xiao Bai, and then sat back at the dining table.Xiao Bai smirked, put the potato chips just now into his mouth, and blinked at the girl who just sat down.Turning her head, she asked Xiao Ran, "Are you ready for your birthday present for Sister An?"

Xiao Ran pursed her lips and smiled.

Xiao Bai continued to ask: "Then how are you going to live for her?"

Xiao Ran rolled his eyes, and said to Xiaobai: "Miss Xiaobai, do you think this is good? We can form a heart shape with petals on the opposite beach in advance, and let Sister An blindfold her eyes, and then, There is a person responsible for bringing her to the heart-shaped center, while she took off the blindfold, we set off fireworks, dragged the birthday cake, sang birthday songs, and walked towards her together..." Xiao Ran was intoxicated in the scene he imagined .

Xiaobai also started to talk: "It's best to be a night with a bright moon and few stars. We can also take two bottles of red wine, sit on the beach, watch the moon, and talk happily..."

The two of them narrowed their eyes slightly, as if you were already in the birthday scene, someone knocked Xiao Ran's head from behind and said, "Wake up quickly! Have you two watched too many TV dramas?"

Before Xiao Ran and Xiao Bai came back to their senses, the man said again: "Xiao Bai, you are fooling around with her, right?"

"Hey! How is this nonsense? I think Xiao Ran's idea is good. I said that you haven't had a good birthday for several years, why don't you make a fuss this time! Besides, don't you think Xiao Ran's idea seems familiar? After Xiaobai finished speaking, he smiled at Xiaoan with deep meaning in his eyes.

Xiao An pressed her hand on Xiao Ran's shoulder, trembling slightly as if shocked, Xiao Ran turned her head to look at Xiao An, saw her pursing her lips, a emptiness appeared in her eyes, paused, Xiao An He let go of his lips, forced the corners of his mouth up, and said half-jokingly: "You think the beach is your own? Don't say that fireworks are not allowed, even if they are allowed, it is the peak season now, so many tourists are there, what are scattered on the beach? The petals on the sand were trampled by tourists a long time ago."

Xiao Bai lost interest by Xiao An's words, and left a sentence "You are really boring." Then he ran to chat with the girl just now.

Seeing Xiao Bai running away, Xiao An turned to look at Xiao Ran who was still in the bar, and asked lightly, "Do you think so too?"

"Huh?" Xiao Ran was stunned by the question for a moment, wondering whether Xiao An wanted to ask her that she also felt that he was not interested, or whether it was about the birthday scene just mentioned.

Xiao An smiled and didn't continue to ask. She turned around and shook her head, walking like a kitchen.

Looking at the back of Xiao An walking away, Xiao Ran always felt the meaning of the sentence just now, and wanted to ask more clearly, so he hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up, "An... Sister An" Xiao Ran called after Xiao An.

"Huh?" Xiao An heard Xiao Ran's shout, stopped in her tracks, and looked back.

"No... I don't think so." Xiao Ran looked at Xiao An seriously, his eyes were crystal clear.

☆, birthday

Friday arrived as scheduled, and after a busy week, Xiaoan's birthday was ushered in.Xiao Ran skipped class early in the morning and ran back to the city to get the bracelet. He held the bracelet in his hand, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then tried it on his own wrist. Then he showed a smile, and asked the salesperson to pack it beautifully. The gift box was carefully put into the interlayer of the backpack, and he didn't dare to carry the backpack behind his back, holding it tightly to his chest.

After walking out of the shopping mall, I went to the best cake shop in the city. Looking at the dazzling birthday cakes on display, I always felt that it was too ordinary.Xiao Ran asked the clerk if there were any other styles of cakes. The clerk gave Xiao Ran a thick cake album. Xiao Ran searched carefully and found a heart-shaped birthday cake with a few layers of cream squeezed out on the surface. A rose, so delicate, Xiao Ran lingered on this page, and finally pursed his lips and turned over.Continue to turn backwards, and a fresh and elegant cake came into view, "Okay! That's it, since you can't give the heart-shaped one, then choose it!" Xiao Ran muttered in a low voice, and said Went to the clerk to order a cake.

It was past noon when he returned to school, and Hua Zi was about to leave the dormitory to go to class, when Xiao Ran came in with a backpack in one hand and a cake in the other.

"Just came back?" Hua Zi held a book in his arms, greeted Xiao Ran, then turned his head and thought about what happened in the morning, and continued, "I didn't dare to sign for you when the teacher was standing next to you in the morning." Hua Zi said I feel a little embarrassed.

"Forget it, if you don't sign, you don't sign!" Xiao Ran shrugged and continued walking into the dormitory.

Hua Zi stopped, turned around and looked at Xiao Ran, hesitating for a while, and continued: "The exam is coming soon, don't keep absent from class."

"Well, I got it." Xiao Ran carefully placed the cake on the table, and then said, "I'll go directly to the store in a while, you go there early after class, don't tell Xiao An and the others that I skipped class."

Hua Zi patted his forehead, shook his head and walked out of the dormitory, "It's really hopeless."

Just after a wave of customers in the afternoon, Xiaobai clamored to close the door, "This money is endless, but birthdays only come once a year!"

Xiao An looked outside the door and hesitated, Xiao Bai also walked outside, turned over the "open" sign, and then said: "Okay! Mr. Birthday, let's cook a big meal for us early today!" He stroked Xiaoan's shoulder and pushed him into the store.

Xiao Ran was also very nimble today, he had already cleared the table and tied up his apron, as if he was going to help out in the kitchen.

"Are you sure you want to go in and help?" Xiaobai walked up to Xiao Ran, looked Xiao Ran up and down, and said worriedly.

Xiao Ran nodded vigorously.

Xiao Bai poked his head forward again, and leaned into Xiao An's ear and said, "I think you should choose me to help! If this kid enters the back kitchen, I probably won't be able to eat this dinner before twelve o'clock."

When Xiao Ran heard this, she pouted immediately and called out to Xiao An: "Sister An..."

"Okay! Okay! Don't bully the children, just let Xiao Ran help me!" Xiao An smiled lightly, patted Xiao Bai's hand on her shoulder and said.

Xiao Ran pouted and made a face at Xiao Bai, then took Xiao An's arm and walked towards the kitchen.

Xiaobai looked indifferent, spread his hands, and slowly walked to the sofa beside him, nestled in the sofa with his legs crossed, and started chatting on WeChat with his mobile phone.

"Sister An, I've peeled the garlic and I'll put it here." After peeling all the ingredients, Xiao Ran went to get the vegetables.Standing in the kitchen with Xiao An this time was very different from the last time, Xiao Ran always put the things he needed in the right place before Xiao An could speak.

Xiao An looked at Xiao Ran squatting down to pick the vegetables for a while, and helping himself to set the dishes for a while. He was very busy, and a smile appeared on his face. shouted.

"Hey!" Xiao Ran replied crisply with beads of sweat on his forehead.

"If you're tired, go out and rest for a while! I'll do it myself." Xiao An poured the vegetables in the pot into a plate, looked at Xiao Ran and said.

"It's okay, I'm not tired." Xiao Ran had a bright smile on his face that was flushed from the heat in the kitchen.

"I'm not tired, look at the sweat." Xiao An held the pot in one hand, and gently stroked the sweat beads on Xiao Ran's forehead with the back of the other hand.

Xiao Ran was startled, stared at Xiao An's eyes wide-eyed, his face turned even redder, not only red but also hot, he quickly wiped his face with his hands, and said with a smile: "Really... really not tired , it’s just getting hotter.”

Xiao An withdrew her hand with a smile, and turned to the sink to wash the pot.Xiao Ran also turned around following Xiao An, looked at Xiao An's side face, and called softly: "Sister—" Xiao Ran was so old, except for his own mother, no one had ever wiped his sweat like this, but The look in which her mother wiped her sweat was totally different from the look in Xiao An's eyes when she just looked at her. Xiao Ran was obsessed with Xiao An's eyes. It was a bit like a sister's love for a younger sister, and a bit like a lover's emotion.Xiao Ran lost control for a moment, and couldn't help calling out "sister".

The water in the faucet was rushing, but it still couldn't cover up Xiao Ran's softly yelled word.Xiao An didn't raise his head, but the movement of his hands paused for a moment, and he replied lightly: "Huh?"

Only now did Xiao Ran come back to his senses, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, scratching his head and wanting to continue calling him, "I'll call you sister from now on, okay?" Xiao Ran's tone was both tentative and general. Be naughty.

Xiao An nodded, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "You can call it whatever you want!"

"Yeah! That's great." Xiao Ran jumped up instantly, wanting to hug her sister, but seeing the oil stains on her hands, she stood back with her hands spread out.He just smiled foolishly from the sidelines and kept calling "Sister, Sister, Sister..." all the time.

"It's really a child." Xiao An shook her head, thinking, "Just let this child call her sister, and she will be so happy." She couldn't help but smiled, and walked back to the stove with the pot in her hand, "You If you keep shouting like this, I won't agree to you!" Xiao Ran teased Xiao Ran with a serious look.

Xiao Ran quickly pursed his lips, not daring to continue screaming.Seeing Xiao Ran's cute appearance, Xiao An couldn't help laughing again.

Xiao Ran went out with the dishes, and saw that Hua Zi and Han Yaxin had also arrived, and they were sitting in a corner.Looking sideways, Xiaobai was already asleep on the sofa with his mobile phone in his arms.Xiao Ran deliberately raised the volume and shouted to the hall: "Dinner is ready!" Xiaobai was so frightened that he almost fell off the sofa, Huazi also poked his head out suddenly, and shouted to Xiao Ran: "What is your name? Ya! It scared me to death!"

Xiao Ran cast a glance at Hua Zi, put the dishes on the table, and said unhurriedly: "I want you little slobs to eat!"

"Are we lazy? That's not to create opportunities for you to get close to someone." Hua Zi pulled Han Yaxin to the dining table, turned his head, saw Xiao An coming out of the kitchen, and immediately stopped talking.

Xiaobai also walked towards the dining table in a daze, not forgetting to pull a chair for himself, looked at the rich dishes on the table, but there were no bowls and chopsticks, and ordered Huazi like a master: "Huazi, Go get the bowls and chopsticks." He sat down on the chair instead.

Huazi glanced at Xiaobai, and obediently ran to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Xiao Ran looked at a table full of dishes. Although he didn't cook it himself, he also had his own hard work. He felt a sense of accomplishment. He stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. mouth, sucking and exhaling straight, but he just couldn't bear to spit out the meat in his mouth.After finally eating the meat, I didn’t forget to say a few words about its deliciousness, which made the people next to me laugh out loud.Regardless of others, Xiao Ran stretched out his hand to pinch another piece, this time he was smart, he put it to his mouth and blew it, and then said to Xiao An: "Sister, open your mouth, and try this." The cold Xiao An really followed Xiao Ran's words and opened her red lips, and the meat entered her mouth, Xiao An had a warm smile on her face.After swallowing the meat, he realized that everyone was looking at him, and his fair cheeks turned rosy in an instant.He pursed his lips, put away his smile, put on a calm expression, and took a few steps back to pull the chair.

Xiao Bai glanced at Xiao An, then at Xiao Ran, dragging the chair with his feet on the floor, and moved closer to Xiao An, "What's going on?"

Xiao An gave Xiao Bai a white look, and said coldly: "It's okay."

"Hey! Tell me!" Xiaobai leaned closer with a shameless face.

Xiao An ignored her, pulled the chair aside, and told Xiao Ran to sit between Xiao Bai and herself.Xiao Ran looked at Xiao Bai and put the chair over with a little embarrassment, then said to Xiao An: "Sister, I'll go get the cake out."

Xiao An stopped Xiao Ran: "Xiao Ran, take it later! Let these hungry wolves eat some food first."

"Okay, sister!" Said Xiao Ran and sat down beside Xiao An.

Xiao Bai didn't give up, and dragged her chair along the floor to move to the other side of Xiao An, and said to Xiao An, "Sister—she wants to sit next to you!" That "sister" The sound of the words is very long.

Xiao An still didn't talk to Xiao Bai, but Xiao Ran couldn't hold back anymore, and blushed up to the ears.Huazi also saw something strange, and joked: "Xiao Ran, why does the name change every time you enter the kitchen and then leave the kitchen?"

"Where... how has it changed, isn't it the same name before!" Xiao Ran said with a blushing face.

"Okay! Don't tease her, let's eat!" Xiaoan took the chopsticks from Huazi's hand and said.

Everyone was seated, and Huazi was busy greeting the beautiful senior sister beside her, and the senior sister also didn't see her, and sat there generously and started eating.Xiao Ran picked up the wine bottle and poured red wine into everyone's cups from Xiao An, and finally poured it into his own cup, put down the wine bottle, and sat beside Xiao An.

Xiao Bai raised one corner of his mouth and picked up the glass of red wine that had just been poured into it. With warmth in his eyes, he said to Xiao An beside him in a soft voice: "Ann, happy birthday! I hope you will be as happy as today in the future heart."

Looking at Xiaobai, Xiaoan bit her lips, slowly picked up the wine glass in front of her, lightly knocked it against Xiaobai's glass with a crisp sound, said with a smile, "Thank you!" She drank the red wine in one gulp, and when the glass fell, Xiao An's eyes sparkled, she picked up the wine bottle and poured herself another glass, and drank it down again, as if she wanted to drink all the sorrow to her stomach However, why was she sad? Just now, she clearly had a smile on her face, but what memories of Xiao An's memories were brought back by just saying "Happy Birthday"?

Xiao Bai picked up the chopsticks and picked up Xiao An's favorite dishes, put them into Xiao An's bowl, patted Xiao An on the shoulder, and motioned Xiao An to order, then picked up another chopsticks dish for himself, and ate with his head down.

Xiao Ran saw this scene in his eyes, and Xiao Bai saw that Xiao An's eyes were soft and charming. Xiao Bai knew many things about Xiao An's past, which Xiao Ran didn't know. Xiao Ran wanted to know everything about Xiao An, and wanted to make Xiao An I lived in Xiao An's heart by myself, but I felt that this idea was a bit out of reach, and there was Xiao Bai in front of her, Xiao Ran felt a little sad in his heart. Seeing Xiao Bai's caring for Xiao An, there was something in his head. A thought suddenly appeared, is Xiao Bai and Xiao An really a couple?However, the first time she met Xiao Bai, she clearly said that Xiao An was not her girlfriend!Xiao Ran felt that his relationship with Xiao An had just taken a step forward, but was suddenly pulled away by Xiao Bai, his face sank instantly, and he lost the excitement he had when he was cooking with Xiao An just now.He held the wine glass in his hand and poured red wine into his mouth, only to feel a sour liquid flow from his mouth into his heart.

☆, make a wish

The lights went out, and the hall was dark. Xiao Ran dragged the birthday cake with both hands and walked out slowly from the bar. The birthday song was floating in the hall, and the weak candlelight flickered slightly, showing a faint orange color. The candle seedlings also danced gently, swaying their bodies, driving away the fear of darkness with a little bit of starlight, and bringing warmth to people's hearts with soft light.

The candlelight is getting closer and closer to Xiao An, reflecting Xiao An's hazy cheeks. She is smiling at this time, and she is more joyful than her usual faint expression, but this joy is not full, and mixed with a little helplessness and loss , always let people see that the corner of the mouth that is obviously raised has a heavy burden, and the smile is so heavy.

Xiao Bai put his arm on Xiao An's shoulder as usual, and whispered: "Be happy, just like before, everything will pass."

Xiao An smiled at Xiao Bai and nodded.

The cake was placed in front of Xiao An, and a group of people gathered around, clamoring for Xiao An to make a wish.

"No, I don't have any wishes." Xiao An waved her hand and wanted to blow out the candles.

"How can this be done! You have to make a wish on your birthday, it's only once a year. Sister An, hurry up and make a wish! It will definitely come true." Hua Zi stopped Xiao An and dissuaded her.

The people around also nodded their heads in agreement.

Xiao An looked around at the people, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and was about to say something, then hesitated for a moment and let go of her hands, saying silently: "Let's forget it!"

"Maybe. Maybe it can come true." Xiao Bai looked at Xiao An quietly and said as if he knew Xiao An's wish.

Xiao An pursed her lips, clenched her hands again, and closed her eyes.After a while, he opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and blew towards the burning flames. Immediately, the hall entered darkness again.When the light came on, Xiao Ran who was standing opposite saw Xiao An frowning tightly, and then slowly opened his eyes, which were moistened.

"Birthday, cut the cake!" Xiao Bai lay on the table, his mouth was almost glued to the cake, he looked at the cake eagerly, and said to Xiao An.

"Grandma, get up quickly, your saliva is dripping on the cake, how can we eat it!" Huazi stretched out his hand to pull Xiaobai, who refused to move an inch from the table.He licked his lips with his tongue, looked at the cake and said, "I just want to drool on it, so that the whole cake will be mine."

"That can't be done! No matter what, birthday stars have to eat cake!" Seeing that he couldn't pull Xiao Bai, Huazi stretched out his hand to cover Xiao Bai's face, for fear that Xiao Bai would really stick his saliva on the cake.

Xiaobai dodged Huazi's fleshy little hands left and right, and said casually: "This woman is not afraid, anyway, she doesn't dislike me."

Xiao Ran lost his mood after hearing this, but he didn't want others to see it, so he forced a smile and stayed silent, watching Huazi and Xiaobai making a fuss.

The cake was cut into pieces, and Xiao An distributed it to everyone. Xiao Ran sat on the side holding the cake in his hand, squinting at Xiao An from time to time.She saw that Xiao An had seldom spoken since she made a wish, as if her mind was full of worries.

Holding the cake, Xiao Ran was about to stand up and sit beside Xiao An, when he saw the people on the table get up, Xiao Ran took a step to sit next to Xiao An, and whispered something in Xiao An's ear.Xiao Ran sat back again, pursed her lips, and stared straight at Xiao An's direction.

"Hurry up! Let's go out to play after eating." Xiao Bai turned around and saw Xiao Ran holding the cake and looking at Xiao An motionlessly, "This kid, no one sees it that way!" Xiao Bai Thinking in his heart, he urged Xiao Ran to eat the cake.

Xiao Ran gave Xiao Bai a hard look, and for some reason, he began to hate Xiao Bai more and more in his heart. He obviously cared about Xiao An in every possible way, but he still wanted to flirt with him everywhere. He took a bite of the cake, and threw the paper plate into Xiao Bai's hands.

Xiaobai looked at the paper plate full of cream in his hand, and then at Xiao Ran who had an angry face, a little confused, so, "How did I offend her?" Turning around and looking at Xiaoan, suddenly thought of something, the corner of his mouth With a smirk.

Cleaning up neatly, Xiaobai fulfilled the promise before the meal, Xiao Ran and Xiaoan cooked, and she and Huazi were in charge of washing the dishes.However, Hua Zi was sitting on the side with her beautiful senior sister, chatting hotly!It seems that they don't remember the previous division of labor at all.Xiaobai looked at Huazi, shook his head helplessly, and walked into the kitchen by himself.

Xiao An stood at the door, looking thoughtfully at the opposite sea, Xiao Ran approached Xiao An with a cup of tea.

"Sister, have a cup of tea to soothe the hangover." Xiao Ran handed the teacup to Xiao An.

Xiao An smiled and took the teacup: "Thank you!"

"You're welcome, you drank a lot today, are you okay?"

"I'm happy today, so, drink more, it's okay."

"That's good."

Xiao An smiled lightly.After a while, Xiao An looked outside the door and said lightly, "Can you accompany me for a walk across the street?"

"Okay." Xiao Ran nodded in agreement.

The two walked side by side across the street to the beach.

The sea at night has faded from the brilliance of the day, like an old man lying there quietly.Under the twilight, it puts away the galloping tide of thousands of horses, and silently faces it.The breeze blew, and there was a heavy smell of the sea in the air.Xiaoan rested his hands on the cervical spine, and gently shook his head from side to side.

"Sister, are you tired?" Xiao Ran looked at Xiao An distressedly and asked.

"It's okay." Xiao An said as he tore off the rubber band tied to his hair, and his hair fell loose in an instant, casually draped over his shoulders. Xiao Ran looked at Xiao An's thin cheeks and smooth jawline against the dim yellow streetlights. , and thin lips...

"Do you know? The scene you told Xiaobai before, I did that before." Xiao An turned her head and looked at Xiao Ran's eyes, Xiao Ran was still looking at Xiao An's eyes. With thin lips, seeing Xiao An turn around, he immediately moved his gaze up to Xiao An's eyes, and then looked away for a moment.

"Really?" Xiao Ran swallowed, calmed down, and continued, "Should it be for a girl? How did it turn out? She should be very happy, right?"

Xiaoan stopped, facing the sea, the sea breeze gently blowing her hair, she closed her eyes slightly, as if she had made great efforts, and said: "There is no result, and there probably won't be any in the future." .”

"What does this mean? Xiao An did it to her ex-girlfriends? Are they separated now?" Xiao Ran couldn't help but secretly happy when he thought of this, but then Xiao Bai's smirking face appeared again in his head, "Could it be that Xiao An is right? Did Xiaobai do this? By the way, when I mentioned this, Xiaobai seemed to ask Xiaoan if he had known him before? Could it be..." Xiao Ran didn't dare to think about it anymore, she didn't want to confuse this matter with Xiaoan. She didn't want to see that Xiao An's girlfriend was Xiao Bai.Xiao Ran frowned, rubbing her temple vigorously with one hand.

After a long time, Xiao An opened her eyes, stared down at the silver ring on her right ring finger, sighed deeply, and gently stroked the other silver ring on her right thumb with her left hand.Looking sideways, Xiao Ran saw that the two rings were almost identical in style. Xiao Ran wanted to see more clearly, but the lights on the beach were dim, and Xiao An kept rubbing the ring with her left hand.

After a long time, Xiao An raised his head, put his arms around his chest, smiled at Xiao Ran, and said, "Some things are the most beautiful only when you imagine them." Shaking her head, with a sneer on her face, she turned around and continued, "Xiao Ran, let's go back! Aren't they going out to play?"

"Sister!" Xiao Ran called Xiao An, took two steps forward, and stood in front of Xiao An, "Today is your birthday, you should be happy."

Xiao An smiled, "I'm very happy today, thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday."

Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "You lied to me, you are clearly unhappy."

"Silly boy, I just remembered some past events, and I'm really not unhappy." Xiao An smiled and stretched out her hand to touch Xiao Ran's head, but she stopped before touching the hair, her hand clenched into a fist in the air, and then I took it back.

Xiao Ran squinted at the hand in the air, looked at Xiao An and said, "Sister, I will celebrate your birthday every year from now on, okay? I will make you happier every year." Xiao Ran inserted his hand, Put it in the pocket, and said to Xiao An: "Sister, close your eyes."

Xiao An frowned slightly with a smile on his face, squinted his eyes, and asked Xiao Ran: "What are you going to do?"

"Sister, just close your eyes first!" Xiao Ran acted coquettishly, with the other hand placed outside trying to cover Xiao An's eyes.

Xiao An subconsciously took a step back, avoiding Xiao Ran's hand, "Okay, okay, then I will close my eyes." Saying that, he closed his eyes.

Xiao Ran tilted her head and leaned over to look in front of Xiao An for a while, making sure that Xiao An had really closed her eyes, and then took out the box from her pocket.A beautifully packaged box appeared in Xiao Ran's hands. She slowly opened the box and took out the bracelet that was carefully customized for Xiao An.Xiao Ran stretched out his hand to grab Xiao An's right hand, but as soon as he touched Xiao An's hand, he felt Xiao An's hand shrink back, Xiao Ran raised his head and glanced at Xiao An, Xiao An still closed his eyes, but frowned even more tightly Yes, half clenched fists, hanging there.

Xiao Ran pursed her lips, and cautiously stretched out Xiao An's hand again, this time Xiao An didn't withdraw her hand again.Xiao Ran put his four fingers into the palm of Xiao An's right hand, held Xiao An's fingers, and slowly pulled them towards his body. Then he loosened his hand, opened the bracelet with both hands, and looped the bracelet around Xiao An's slender wrist. Hook the joint with the backhand, and seeing the bracelet on Xiao An's wrist complement each other, holding Xiao An's hand, said softly: "Sister, happy birthday!"

Xiao An slowly opened her eyes and looked at her wrist. An exquisite platinum bracelet was worn on her wrist, adorned with a few silver jasmine flowers, and rested on Xiao An's fair skin. It exudes the faint fragrance of jasmine, which is fragrant and refreshing.

☆, seaside night talk

"Xiao Ran, what is this?" Xiao An lowered her eyes, staring at the bracelet on her wrist, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly.

"This is Xiao Ran's first birthday gift to my sister. I wonder if my sister likes it?" Xiao Ran bit her lip, staring at Xiao An's expression carefully.

The moment Xiao An raised his head, he met Xiao Ran's dark eyes, which were as crystal clear as a child's, without any flaws. "I like it" Xiao An said in a faint tone, a smile floated on his face, before the smile spread, his brows frowned first, and he continued, "But, this gift is too expensive, I can't accept it."

"Sister——" Xiao Ran was a little anxious, after thinking about it for so long, he finally thought of a gift that he was satisfied with. If Xiao An refused to accept it, wouldn't it be a waste of his thoughts!

Xiao An touched the bracelet with his left hand and wanted to unhook the hook. Xiao Ran put his hand on Xiao An's and held it tightly, "Sister, I made this specially for you, you must accept it." Ran stared into Xiao An's eyes with a nervous and expectant expression.

"But... but you are still a student, how can you let you give such an expensive gift, and, as an older sister, I have never given you a gift, how can I accept your gift." Xiao An was held tightly by Xiao Ran Her hands were a little nervous, and she wanted to withdraw them, but found that Xiao Ran's grip was too tight, and she couldn't pull them out at all.

"It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not, as long as my sister likes it." Xiao Ran patted the back of Xiao An's hand lightly, the tension on his face eased, and he continued with a smile, "Isn't this just in time for my sister's birthday?" There is no priority, if my sister wants to give a gift, just give me another one when I celebrate my birthday." Xiao Ran let go of Xiao An's hand.

"When is your birthday?" Xiao An didn't untie the hook, and put down her left hand.

"Next year" Xiao Ran stuck out his tongue playfully towards Xiao An after finishing speaking.

Xiao An and Xiao Ran continued walking along the coastline, chatting casually, and forgot what they said they were going back just now after such a fuss.They walked and chatted more and more slowly, and there were fewer and fewer people on the beach.

"I heard from Huazi that you were always among the top grades in school before college?" Xiaoan folded her hands behind her back, sometimes looking at her own toes, sometimes looking up at the sky, stepping on the soft sand, chatting about Xiao Ran with great interest.

When Xiao Ran heard that Xiao An had inquired about him, he suddenly burst into laughter, with a smug smile on his face, "That's right! I was considered a dominator in school, and I used to be in school. It's all over the place." Xiao Ran jumped in front of Xiao An, gestured with his hands, walked backwards in small steps facing Xiao An, and talked about her troublesome deeds in school with a smile on his face.

Xiao Ran did study well before going to university, she was very smart, and Ran's mother was very strict, watching her study every day.Xiao Ran is the kind of person who will study hard when someone is staring at her, and will be lazy and playful when no one is watching her. Especially since she was young, she loves to play and has a lot of hobbies. Mother Ran has noticed it all. I don't object to her hobbies, but set a rule for her that she must get the top three in the class in each subject before she can learn her interest courses.Xiao Ran was also very competitive, she didn't fall behind in her studies, and she also took a lot of interest classes.

Xiao Ran counted Xiao An's interest classes with her fingers, "painting, roller skating, guitar, calligraphy, writing, street dance..." Xiao Ran became more excited as she talked, and even danced some simple street dance steps on the beach. Xiao An pursed her lips and smiled.

"Can you still roller skate?" Xiao An asked Xiao Ran, picking one out of Xiao Ran's many hobbies.

"Yes! I also participated in a youth roller skating competition." Xiao Ran stood up straight, scratched her head, and continued embarrassedly, "But I only got 12th place."

"It's pretty good too, you must be not a professional." Xiao An smiled, looking at the infinitely youthful, lively and cute little girl in front of her, she liked it more and more, thinking to herself, "It's nice to have a sister like that." "And I feel that she is a bit like me back then. I used to like to play so much and wanted to learn everything, but except for a few things, I didn't learn anything else.However, since those things passed, the things I once loved so much have completely given up.She thought of the roller skates under her bed. She hadn’t seen the sun for many years. Thinking about those shoes had brought her infinite joy and good memories, and brought her to sweat profusely on the school playground. I can't help but have the urge to take it out and slide it.

Xiao Ran tilted her head and looked at Xiao An's thoughtful expression, and asked doubtfully, "Could it be that my sister also likes roller skating?"

Xiao An smiled at Xiao Ran, but did not reply.

Xiao Ran seemed to understand what Xiao An meant, and quickly clapped his hands, "Then let's go skating together someday."

Xiao An nodded slightly.

"Yeah! That's great." Xiao Ran laughed even more happily, jumped up, and in a moment of excitement, stretched out his hand to grab Xiao An's arm.Xiao An was quick-witted and instantly pulled his arm out of Xiao Ran's surroundings.Xiao Ran stood aside for a moment, stared blankly for a long time, and finally stared blankly at Xiao An who seemed to be surprised, and said, "Yes... I'm sorry..."

Only then did Xiao An regain his composure and looked at Xiao Ran. The little girl in front of her looked like a child who had made a big mistake. She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and looked at herself with lightly raised eyes. Xiao An thought that she was being too aggressive The action frightened her, and she reached out to touch Xiao Ran's head, but withdrew her hand and only touched her shoulder, "It has nothing to do with you, it's my problem." Xiao An patted Xiao Ran's shoulder, turned around, Then he said, "I'm not used to being touched."

Xiao Ran looked at Xiao An's back, and didn't know what to say for a while, "Xiao An is not used to being touched by others, but...but she obviously slept in the car with Xiao An that night! And Xiao Bai doesn't often Would he put his arm on Xiao An's shoulder? Then... In Xiao An's heart, Xiao Bai is his own, and she is still the 'other'..." Xiao Ran couldn't help pursing his lips, wondering At the same time, there was more soreness, and the teeth bit hard on the thin lips, and the mouth was filled with the smell of blood.

Xiao An seemed to sense that Xiao Ran was not following, and when she turned to look over, Xiao Ran was already more than ten meters away from her, "Xiao Ran!" Xiao An called softly.

Xiao Ran raised her head, only to realize that she hadn't followed Xiao An. Standing in the distance, she let out a long breath and ran after her.

"What's wrong?" Little
