Before the winter vacation, Yuan Xu's birthday came first.

As the end of the term was approaching, they were all busy reviewing. Originally, Yuan Xu didn't plan to celebrate his birthday, but Xiang Zhiyuan didn't agree with anything, so he insisted on celebrating him. He made a reservation in advance at a hot pot restaurant with a good reputation. Pick him up to eat.

"You have always studied so hard, you really don't need to work so hard at the end of the semester." Boyfriend taught him very seriously, "Birthday is very important, and my birthday is only once in a lifetime, you know?"

Yuan Xu didn't entangle with him about the many tomes at the end of the law school. He only asked his statement: "Then 19 years old, 20 years old, and 21 years old are only once in a lifetime. Is it so important?"

"Of course." Xiang Zhiyuan said, "So I will spend with you every year."

Yuan Xu was at a loss for words for a while, and was a little moved in his heart, so he lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Because it is a working day, there are still many office workers sitting in the hot pot restaurant at [-]:[-] p.m. city ​​night view.Yuan Xu leaned against the window and looked at it for a while, then said, "I seem to be able to see the hotel where my uncle and aunt stayed last time."

"Well, not far away."

Xiang Zhiyuan took the menu and ticked off some of his favorite meat and bean products, and asked Yuan Xu what vegetables he wanted to eat. Yuan Xu leaned over to take a look, and ticked off a lettuce and a doll with his pen-holding hand. vegetable.

Fengshi, like Rongshi, has almost no winter. In December, they still wear short-sleeved air conditioners. Xiang Zhiyuan just got too hot to cut his hair a few days ago. Now the hair around his neck is shaved close to his scalp. It's short and feels a little prickly, like unshaven stubble.Every time Yuan Xu saw it, he wanted to reach out and touch it, and felt that this behavior was a bit childish, and finally he stared at the back of his neck, and Xiang Zhiyuan's neck felt cold, and asked him: "What's wrong? "

Yuan Xu reached out to touch it and asked, "Is it cool?"

"It's cool, it's much better than before." Xiang Zhiyuan said, "Why is it so hot this year, I want to shave my head."

Imagining his bald head in his mind, Yuan Xu couldn't help but smile.

"Even if I'm bald, I'm still handsome." Xiang Zhiyuan said unconvinced.

"Yes Yes Yes."

While talking, the bottom of the pot and the dishes came out together, the waiter leaned over and said something in Xiang Zhiyuan's ear, his voice was very low, Yuan Xu who was leaning against the window flipping through the end-of-term review PPT couldn't hear clearly.He didn't care too much, put down his phone, stood up, and said to Xiang Zhiyuan, "I'll get the dipping sauce."

Xiang Zhiyuan just received a review material from his roommate, and when he opened it to read it, he said casually, "Get me one too, you know what I want."

"it is good."

There were not many people in the dipping area, so Yuan Xu went over to get a small dish, and quickly mixed the dish according to the two people's habits. When he was about to go back, he heard someone behind him calling him: "... Yuan Xu?"

The voice sounded familiar, and when he looked back, it turned out to be an old acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Ding Yi looked more mature than last time we met, with his hair cut short, wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, without any chain rivets, and not as streamlined as before.He was standing not far away with a saucer in his hand, looking at Yuan Xu with complicated eyes, as if he was confirming if it was him, and after a while he said, "It really is you."

Three years ago at about this time, he brought a group of people to surround Yuan Xu, and was finally caught by the police and sent to the police station. In other words, he had to be imprisoned for a few days and half a month.A long time passed, and he didn't feel much when he saw this person. He just thought of the crowbar and Xiang Zhiyuan's arm that had been hanging for half a month, and said with an uneasy expression, "Is there something wrong?"

He almost wrote the words "It's okay, get out" written on his face. Ding Yi didn't mean to fight at the hot pot restaurant, but he didn't just leave. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "No, I saw you and remembered." I want to apologize to you and... for many things in the past."

"...?"

Yuan Xu froze for a moment, he really didn't expect him to say such a thing.

The little courage Ding Yi mustered up was not enough to say the title "Teacher Yuan", but Yuan Xu had already grasped the spirit and gave him a look in disbelief. The subtext was obvious: "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

It wasn't that he didn't believe that the person in front of him could turn over a new leaf, but that Ding Yi's mouth really didn't look like he could say "Apologize", which made people wonder if he had been pierced by a soul.

Probably because his eyes were too straightforward, Ding Yi couldn't save his face, and reluctantly said: "If you don't believe it, forget it, just say it like this, and leave."

As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave with the saucer in hand, but because he turned too hastily, the soy sauce mixed with minced garlic and coriander spilled on his hand.Ding Yi probably felt ashamed, cursed a curse word in a low voice, kept walking, and left like his butt was on fire.

Yuan Xu looked at him walking away in a little bewilderment, not quite understanding what was going on with this man.

He returned to his seat and asked Zhiyuan, "Why have you been here for so long?"

"Meet Ding Yi."

Yuan Xu briefly talked about what happened just now, Xiang Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and said, "Is this a sex change?"

"I don't know." Yuan Xu also had the same idea as him, "Probably so."

Regardless of whether he really changed his sex or not, at least the apology just now does not sound like a lie.Although he didn't care about it after three years, Ding Yi had already paid the price for his actions after being punched by him and squatting in the detention room of the police station, but he could hear ivory spitting out of his dog's mouth, no matter how much ivory it was. A little out of shape, but still good.

"People always grow up," Xiang Zhiyuan scalded beef for him with a sieve, counted the seconds, scooped it up and put it in a saucer, and said while scalding, "We are both eighteen, how old is he? Well, he's in his early twenties anyway, we need to give the bastard a chance to grow into a normal person."

He wasn't a heinous person in the first place, it was nothing more than a bad environment and self-indulgence. If he had the opportunity to realize his mistakes and apologize, at least he wouldn't have to worry about these things in the future.

Yuan Xu nodded absently, and asked Zhiyuan what was wrong, and he said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking, my dad will be very happy when he hears that."

This hot pot was not too full, so Xiang Zhiyuan's order was more reserved, because there was an after-dinner show.

When the waiter pushed the cake trolley up, Yuan Xu couldn't laugh or cry, and finally realized that Xiang Zhiyuan had been whispering to them all the time.The cake is small but delicate, with a rabbit wearing ruby ​​earrings and red eyes, holding a very large gift box, and a banner with the words "Happy Adulthood" drawn above its head, which looks like From Jiang Ning's handwriting.

Yuan Xu suppressed a smile and thanked the waiter, helped move the cake to the cleaned table, and asked the waiter to light the candles.

"Happy birthday to you, every year has today, and every year has today."

The waiter said, bowed slightly to him, and then left very tactfully.

Yuan Xu was not in a hurry to make a wish and blow out the candles, first looked at Xiang Zhiyuan who was opposite, and asked him, "When did you secretly plan?"

"Just a few days ago," the person who was asked was very honest, and immediately recruited, "I asked my uncle to help draw a picture, and then ordered a cake and a place... Actually, it didn't take much effort, but it's a birthday, a sense of ceremony Still have to."

For some reason, Yuan Xu suddenly remembered that in the first year of high school, Xiang Zhiyuan celebrated his birthday with him, and the other party said the same thing at that time.

"Congratulations Yuan Xu, you have entered a new stage in your life." In reality, Xiang Zhiyuan said words that overlapped with memories, "I am very glad that I am the one who will accompany you on your birthday."

When the candle was about to burn out, Yuan Xu gently blew it out, and said in a low voice, "I'm very happy too."

On his birthday in the first year of high school, he got many gifts from Xiang Zhiyuan.

There are the earrings he is wearing now, which are very valuable; there is a cake that two people can't finish, full of ritual sense; and...

I'm so glad you celebrated my birthday with me again.

Glad to continue to celebrate birthdays with you in the future.

He suddenly felt that he had a lot to say, but he stared blankly at Xiang Zhiyuan's face for a while, and finally the first sentence that popped up was "Can you sing that song for me again?"

Xiang Zhiyuan was taken aback for a while, and said, "That song?"

He only sang to Yuan Xu once, and it was not in tune, and was blown away in the wind, like a secret that was deliberately concealed but could not help but want to get a response.

"Yeah." Yuan Xu nodded, "Sing it to me again, go home and sing."

The electronic organ in the rental house was still in the living room. Xiang Zhiyuan played it briefly, and after finding the tune, he accompanied him and sang the song he sang three years ago.

He still remembered how he felt at the time, but it was different now. Yuan Xu sat next to him, hugged their cat, listened carefully to his singing, and applauded him.

Xiang Zhiyuan reached out to hug him, but Yuan Xu didn't resist, and sat on his lap cooperatively, meeting his eyes.

"Actually, you understand, right?" Xiang Zhiyuan asked him.

Yuan Xu looked at him for a while, then nodded.

"My Cantonese is not good, but it's not that bad."

At that time, I just didn't understand what I wanted, but what Xiang Zhiyuan wanted to say was already in this song.

He still remembers that he was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, and was led by Xiang Zhiyuan across Siji Road. At the end, there was the sound of wind chimes, jingling, without any pattern, like a tune played by the wind, and it seemed that he was a little flustered heart of.

Xiang Zhiyuan smiled and kissed him, without any intention of blaming him, his voice was very gentle: "Tell me that you don't understand."

"I dare not say I understand it," Yuan Xu said in a low voice, "At that time, I thought the song was too heavy, and I couldn't respond."

"what about now?"

What now?Yuan Xu was also asking himself.

Xiang Zhiyuan has already taken 99 steps towards him. In fact, he only needs to complete the last step, but he still wants to take a few more steps, to see the places the other party has walked for him, and to engrave them in his heart.

"I like you, Xiang Zhiyuan."

he said solemnly.

In fact, there are still many things to say, but it seems unnecessary. They have a lot of time in the future, so they can take their time.

"Can we celebrate birthdays together every year in the future? Your birthday, and mine."

Xiang Zhiyuan laughed, and tightened his hands around his waist: "Of course."

"Then I have no objection," Yuan Xu relaxed and lay on his shoulder, smelling the reassuring scent of shower gel on Xiang Zhiyuan's body, and whispered, "Happy birthday to me, my birthday wish has come true."

Now just say the most important sentence and let Xiang Zhiyuan know that he understood.

The author says:

Yesterday I fell heavily and broke my knee, and today I was happy to welcome my aunt again, so that I was paralyzed in bed for a whole day, and I was relieved at night... I barely wrote this chapter, and I was a little dissatisfied. If the article is revised, we will notify everyone to read it again.

This chapter is considered to be a more important chapter before the end. The two children are finally grown up. Congratulations.The last time Xiao Xiang sang was in chapter 45, students who have forgotten it after a long time can look back.
