Soul knot

Manzhu has always kept Lu Yudong's birthday in his heart, and started preparing for it a few days earlier, every year.

Lu Yudong's birthday gift was delivered home on the 26th, and this year's cake will also be delivered to the door at noon on the 29th.

Manzhu will ask for a day off. After picking up the cake, she will go to school to pick up Lu Yudong, and take her to the shop near Wenhai Junior High School, her favorite spicy shrimp in the past.Then, go back home and eat birthday cake together.

After that, whatever Lu Yudong wanted to do, she would accompany her.

Just like in previous years, maybe watch a movie together at home, maybe go for a walk by the river outside, or go to KTV to sing together.

In short, it is time that only belongs to the two of them.

On the afternoon of the 28th, as soon as Manzhu entered the bar, she went up to the second floor and knocked on Mu Shenshan's door.

"I'll ask for leave tomorrow to celebrate Yudong's birthday."

Faced with such a straight-forward leave notice, it was rare for Mu Shenshan to say a word or two like before. He just transferred 3000 yuan to Manzhu, saying that it was Lu Yudong's birthday gift, and asked her to help transfer it tomorrow.

Manzhu glanced at the transfer message, and couldn't help but look strangely at Mu Shenshan up and down.

Mu Shenshan felt a little uncomfortable being looked at, subconsciously took two steps back, held the door with one hand, and took a photo with the mobile phone with the screen in the other hand, to confirm that there was something on his face, and then asked: "What are you talking about?" eyes?"

"Yudong turned 666 last year, so you just transferred [-], three thousand this time?" Manzhu looked in disbelief, "Are you still Mu Shenshan? Haven't you been taken away?"

"Who can take my house away?" Mu Shenshan seemed to have heard some big joke, rolled his eyes, and pointed to Manzhu's mobile phone, "Too many? Come here if you think too much, I'm too fat It hurts, 2334, turn now."

"Not much." Manzhu frowned and smiled, and said softly, "Thank you boss~"

"Don't, don't, don't talk to me in this tone, you can't stand it." Mu Shenshan said, the door of the next room suddenly opened, Yan Zhaomu came out from inside, and bowed his head to turn three thousand for Manzhu.

"Chaomu, what are you again?" Manzhu was taken aback again.

Man Zhu felt stunned by the sudden [-]. Although it was a birthday present from the two of them to Lu Yudong, it was too much, and it was more than her monthly salary.

Yan Zhaomu: "Sister Hong, congratulations."

Manzhu: "Congratulations?"

Yan Zhaomu: "Yudong, she, she..."

Mu Shenshan didn't wait for Yan Zhaomu to finish speaking, he hurriedly pulled him behind him, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Xiao Yudong is one year older." After finishing speaking, he asked tentatively, "Did she say anything to you these two days?"

"What are you talking about?" Manzhu frowned, "Mu Shenshan, what are you talking about today? Is there something you are hiding from me?"

"No, how can it be! Just, just..." Mu Shenshan thought for a while, and said, "Just Chen Yang, Chen Yang said... Xiao Yudong is very happy these days, I thought there was something good Well, don’t you just ask casually?”

"Then the money..."

"It's for you and Yudong."

After hearing this, Manzhu smiled knowingly: "Thank you."

After Manzhu went downstairs, Mu Shenshan and Yan Zhaomu couldn't help but look at each other.

Yan Zhaomu: "Also, are you still talking about it?"

Mu Shenshan shook his head: "Obviously not."

Yan Zhaomu: "Then... then it's too early to send it off." Taking off the single gift, it's too early to send it off.

"Anyway, it's only for one time." Mu Shenshan said, he raised his hand and was about to put a shoulder on his back or something, when he saw Yan Zhaomu swung him away with his backhand arm, turned around and walked downstairs.

"I also want to get out of the order." Mu Shenshan followed behind and beeped softly.

"WeChat, find, find yours, brother, brother and sister."

"Hey, I'm really not Neptune, I'm just popular..."

As soon as Manzhu sat down on the first floor, she felt a little thirsty. Seeing Yan Zhaomu following him, she called out, "Chaomu, bring me a glass of lemon juice."

Yan Zhaomu went to the bar and searched around, and took out a bottle of strawberry-flavored sweet milk, even the bottle had a little powder on it.

Manzhu took a sip from his hand and said, "This is too sweet, do you have lemon juice today?" She just got used to that thing recently, why didn't she make it?

"Drinking too much lemon is not good for your health." Mu Shenshan sat down leisurely at the side.

"Didn't you say it was good for your health last time?" Manzhu asked.

Mu Shenshan nodded and said: "It varies from time to time. When it's cold, you'd better drink less. Honghong, you tend to be irritable. Drink more sweet things. When you're in a good mood, the world will be much better. Right, Chao twilight?"

Yan Zhaomu nodded.

Manzhu always felt that these two people were fooling her, but she had no proof, so she had to take another sip of the strawberry milk in her hand.

At the same time, Lu Yudong, who was supposed to be at school, took the subway home alone.

Manzhu said that she would pick her up tomorrow, but she still chose to go home by herself after finishing her afternoon class.

She ordered a birthday cake for herself in advance, ran to the cake shop as soon as she got out of the subway station, and took it back home.

On the way home, she kept thinking how time flies.

When I first met Manzhu, she was not yet twelve years old, and now seven and a half years later, she is nineteen, and Manzhu is still the same as before, without any change.

Fortunately, she doesn't need to worry about not being able to catch up with Manzhu, nor does she need to worry that one day she will grow old first.

Because she has the most special bond with Manzhu, which cannot be broken unless she dies, so time has never treated her harshly.

She put her 19th birthday cake on the small coffee table in front of the sofa.

This coffee table is only a little higher than the sofa, and it is a bit out of reach when sitting on the floor, and it is too short to sit on the sofa, so I can only buy two small benches, curl my legs, and sit comfortably.

She and Manzhu have eaten on such a small coffee table for so many years, and no one has ever complained, because there is really no room for a dining table in a small home.

At this moment, on the coffee table, there is a brand new laptop with the power cord plugged in.

Lu Yudong squatted down beside the coffee table and pressed the power button.

The moment the computer was turned on successfully, she saw on the desktop a photo of her and Man Zhu when they were traveling in Xianchi, Northern Xinjiang.That photo was captured by a fellow photographer. It was the back view of them standing hand in hand by the fairy pond in the setting sun.

She has always liked it very much, but she never thought that Manzhu also liked it.

Is this a gift for her?

She had always wanted to save money to buy a computer for Manzhu, hoping that Manzhu could use a screen bigger than her mobile phone when she watched dramas and movies on weekdays, but now she has not saved enough money, so Manzhu bought one as a gift for her. she.

The corners of Lu Yudong's mouth could not help but rise, although his fingers were cold, his eyes were full of warmth.

Sitting on the sofa, she stretched out her hand to turn on the little sun on the side, baked her frozen hands in the gradually darkened room, watched the second hand turning by Ke Ke, and waited early for the moment when Man Zhu returned home.

I fell asleep while waiting, so I put on my cotton pajamas, lay on Corgi's butt as a pillow, and squinted on the sofa.

She opened her eyes several times in a daze, but she didn't wake up completely. She only knew that the sky was completely dark, and only a little light could seep in from the window.

At twelve o'clock, she received a birthday greeting from Manzhu. She squinted her eyes and replied, "I love my sister the most." Then she rubbed her eyes, changed her position slightly, and fell asleep again.

The last thing that woke her up was the sound of Manzhu opening the door around 02:30 in the morning.

Manzhu didn't know that Lu Yudong came back by himself, and the lights in the room were not turned on, but the moment she opened the door, she saw Lu Yudong sitting up from the sofa rubbing his eyes.

"Yudong?" Manzhu turned on the light, and asked with concern while changing shoes, "Why didn't you tell me when you came back?"

Lu Yudong smiled, put on her slippers and stood up: "I wanted to give you a surprise, but I saw the surprise you gave me." She said, pointing to the notebook on the coffee table.

Manzhu shook her head and laughed for a moment: "You, you really..."

She took two steps inside and saw a cake box on the other end of the coffee table far away from the little sun. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Our little birthday star even bought the cake himself this year?"

Lu Yudong smiled and said, "Open it and have a look!"

"Why do you make it look like it's my birthday?" Manzhu said, taking off her beige cloak, putting it on the sofa, and squatting down beside the coffee table with her skirt, opened the cake box.

The cake that Lu Yudong ordered was actually a heart-shaped pink cake with strawberries all over it.

When Manzhu saw her, she held her chin with her hands, looked up at Lu Yudong, and said with a smile, "I don't remember you liking strawberries."

"It's beautiful." Lu Yudong said, stepped forward and squatted beside Manzhu, inserted the "1" and "9" candles on the cake, turned his head to look at Manzhu, his eyes shone with anticipation.

Manzhu tapped lightly on the candle with her finger, and the flame started to dance.

As in previous years, she sang a happy birthday song for Lu Yudong. When the song ended, she lightly touched Lu Yudong's arm and said with a smile, "Hurry up and make a wish."

In the past, Lu Yudong would always close his eyes and make a wish that she couldn't hear, but this time, Lu Yudong just remained motionless, staring at her quietly.

After a few seconds, Manzhu couldn't help but panic.

She has never seen Lu Yudong like this.

The number candle was almost burnt out, Manzhu looked at the candle in a daze, then at Lu Yudong: "It's almost half burnt."

Lu Yudong suddenly bit his lower lip, as if he had made some decision.

"When I was 12 years old, I had a wish to have you by my side on every birthday in the future."

Manzhu couldn't help being taken aback.

"Manzhu, I like you. I have always liked you since I was a child." Lu Yudong looked very seriously, "In the past, I always hoped that I would grow up quickly, but when I finally grew up, I lost a lot of courage and gained a lot of courage. concern."

"For so many years, I have been hiding these words in my heart, and I dare not tell you. I have a lot of worries. I am afraid that you don't like me, that you think I am a girl, that you will care that I am just a human being, and I am afraid that it is too early. You think I'm too young, and you're no longer waiting for me when it's too late..."

As Lu Yudong spoke, he seemed to faintly see tears in Manzhu's eyes, but he didn't say anything.

She couldn't help being a little nervous when she didn't get a response, her voice trembled slightly, but she still took a deep breath and continued speaking.

"The best time of my life is now. I want to... give it to you."

"I don't have anything for the time being, but I believe that I will have everything in the future. If you like it, I will work hard and buy you a villa by the sea. We will live together for 30 years. My life is very long, and I I am willing to learn a lot and make money to support you."

"The little uncle said, you have been concentrating on cultivation before, and you wanted to become a flood dragon, but you gave up a lot for me. In the future, I can take care of the family, so you can do what you like. When you go through calamities, I will accompany you. You go to the mountains, I will protect you..."

When Lu Yudong talked here, he squeezed his fists hard, looked at Manzhu, and asked very solemnly: "I have thought about it for a long time, and I only have one wish in my heart. I want to be with you, not like sisters and sisters. It's really being together."

"The two of you, you and I, made an agreement for a lifetime." She grabbed Manzhu's sleeve, her heart full of anticipation and apprehension, "Are you okay?"

The candle flames danced beside him, disturbing people's itch.

Manzhu stared at her with unconcealable surprise on her face, her mouth was slightly open, and her eyes seemed a little flustered.

Lu Yudong asked again: "Is it okay?"

This time, Manzhu finally came to his senses.

She swallowed subconsciously, lowered her eyebrows and said, "I don't want you to protect me, and I don't want you to raise me. It doesn't matter whether it's a dragon or a dragon."

Lu Yudong didn't quite understand what he said, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Just a second before the loss filled her heart, Manzhu held her restless hands instead, and the cold touch made her wake up like a dream.

She heard, Manzhu said to her.

"Just like you said when you were a child, just stay with me all the time." She said, "I will give you whatever you want."

Manzhu: I just received [-] today, and I can buy you anything.

Lu Yudong: No, no, this is not what I want (/ω＼*)
