memory correction

Han Chengyue thought more than once that Qin Yao and Lin Xiao had the same birthday. After all, they were twin brothers, but he and Liu Man were not real blood siblings, and their birthdays were very close. Wang Zhen once said that he was born It was at night, and there was no alarm clock by my side, and I didn't know if it was past twelve o'clock. Maybe he and Liu Man actually had the same birthday.

Because the birthday is so close, after the reorganization of the family, we simply spent it together. Liu Ziping will buy a big cake on his birthday. Liu Man seems to be very unhappy every time, and he doesn’t eat a bite. Han Chengyue thinks about it, no Who would be willing to celebrate his own birthday on someone else's birthday, let alone the brother he hates.

In a blink of an eye, their birthday is approaching again.Liu Man's eighteenth birthday is on Sunday, which happens to be the only day in the week when she has no homework in the third year of high school. However, she may not go home.As soon as she entered high school, she submitted an application to live in school, thinking that she was very unwilling to live with him, the son of the woman who killed her father.

Unexpectedly, Liu Man actually came back that weekend.Han Chengyue works in a convenience store in the morning. When she came home at noon, she was slightly taken aback when she saw the canvas shoes in the entrance. There was no evening study on Saturday night. Even if she had to go back to last night, she should go back. She thought that today was her birthday and came back specially. ?

He took out the gift he had prepared from the room and knocked on Liu Man's door.

"I'm doing my homework, can you leave me alone? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come back. If Brother Lin hadn't asked me for something, and the dormitory had a power outage..."

He had never called him brother before, but he called Lin Xiao next door one by one, and called him very affectionately. Han Chengyue ignored her complaints, said "Happy Birthday" softly, and put the tightly wrapped gift by the door. walked away.

While cooking in the kitchen, he vaguely heard the sound of the door being opened, followed by the ringing of the doorbell. Han Chengyue turned off the fire, walked out of the kitchen, and met Liu Man who had just left the room.

Liu Man was caught off guard, holding the gift in his arms, neither taking nor putting it away. After a battle between heaven and man, he pretended to be nonchalant and put the gift under his arm, and went to open the door.

Lin Xiao was outside the door, carrying a cake and a bag of snacks, "Little birthday boy, please open the door for me yourself! Happy birthday!"

"Thank you Brother Lin!" Liu Man took the cake and snacks.

Han Chengyue looked at the things in her hand, "Put it on the coffee table first." After speaking, he turned his head and left.

"Are you preparing lunch? Let me help too!" Lin Xiao walked into the kitchen without any surprise. Han Chengyue was already familiar with this, but he still couldn't get used to it.

Said he was helping, but Lin Xiao didn't do anything, he washed a few slices of Chinese cabbage slowly.

Han Chengyue caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, "You say you are here to help, but you are actually just here to eat!"

Lin Xiao didn't speak. After he poured all the shredded potatoes into the pot, he patted him on the shoulder and took out a long and narrow box from his chest.

Han Chengyue put the lid on the pot, turned his head to look, and saw a few swashbuckling English letters written on the pitch-black box - and his previous pen of the same brand.

That fountain pen was his first prize in the elementary school group in the city youth calligraphy competition. He used it from elementary school to university. The ink sac was old and often cut off, but he was still reluctant to change it. Not long ago, Lin Xiao asked him to borrow it. Although he felt It's strange, Lin Xiao doesn't like calligraphy, but he didn't ask much, who knows that he couldn't find it later.

"I know your birthday was yesterday, but the goods didn't arrive yesterday, so I brought them together today."

Han Chengyue declined: "Thank you, but I'm still used to picking pens by myself."

"Open it and have a look, this one is very similar to your previous one, both in appearance and writing feel..."

Han Chengyue took the box, opened it and glanced at it. It was indeed very similar, but no matter how similar it was, it was still different.

"Ah, it's burnt!" Lin Xiao exclaimed, hurriedly lifted the lid of the pot, and stirred it with a wooden spatula, "It's stuck!"

Han Chengyue put away the box and snatched the wooden shovel from his hand, "If you keep stirring it, it will all be broken, go wash your cabbage."

I originally planned to fry green pepper potato shreds, but finally made salt and pepper potato shreds. Han Chengyue picked up a piece to try, and the taste was okay.

Lin Xiao lit the candles and went to draw the curtains. With a sound of "shua", the room immediately darkened, and the fire light was reflected in the three pairs of eyes, flickering on and off.

"...Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you!" Lin Xiao sang the whole birthday song by himself, then looked at Liu Man, "Little birthday boy, make a wish! Once this birthday is over, you will really grow up! "

Eighteen years old is an adult, with more rights and greater responsibilities.

Han Chengyue remembered his coming-of-age ceremony on the eve of the college entrance examination, and the principal gave a passionate speech on the stage, "How many days are there before the college entrance examination?"

The students in the audience all replied: "Eighteen days!"

"There are still more than two weeks, and I can do a lot of things, memorize hundreds of more English words, and do a few more wrong questions..." The principal said with a smile: "The college entrance examination determines the fate. Don’t listen to what your parents say. This is not true. There are many people who, without taking the college entrance examination, can earn a living in society and even make achievements in a certain field. Of course, these achievements are not casual, It can be obtained easily. However, for all of you sitting here, those who have applied for the exam and are about to take the college entrance examination, the exam in eighteen days will definitely affect the trajectory of your future life."

"Most of the students are full now. This is definitely not just a number. It means that you can make your own decisions and be responsible for yourself. I always feel that the college entrance examination is just in your year. It’s a wonderful thing, I hope students will take this exam seriously and be responsible for their future life!”

At that time, Han Chengyue didn't take it seriously, but now that time has passed, he has become the one who should be advised. Liu Man didn't seem to be a child who needed parents to worry about his grades. Until his freshman year and her third year of junior high school, Liu Ziping and Wang Zhen Not long after the plane crash, Liu Man failed the high school entrance examination and barely passed the grade line of No. [-] Middle School. After entering high school, he seemed to become more self-defeating, his grades continued to decline, and he even skipped class once.

Liu Man blew out the candles, Lin Xiao opened the curtains, and the sunlight leaked in again, but it didn't leak into Han Chengyue's eyes. Han Chengyue's eyes were dark, "Are you going to take the monthly exam again soon?"

Liu Man didn't care, "So what?"

"A round of review is the best time to check for omissions and make up for gaps and improve your grades. You are still unsure at this time, do you want to experience the feeling of performing abnormally in the entrance examination again?"

Liu Man suddenly stood up and dropped his chopsticks.

Han Chengyue met her angry gaze without backing down.

"I'm only at this level, how can I not perform properly?"

Lin Xiao coughed dryly, "Students with better knowledge now have little room for improvement. After several rounds of review, as long as each link is taken seriously, they will catch up quickly." Lin Xiao stood up and patted the student gently. Patting Liu Man on the shoulder, "However, you have to eat enough to have the strength to study, so don't sit down standing up."

Seeing this, Han Chengyue bent down to pick up the chopsticks on the ground, and went to the kitchen to get another pair.

Liu Man didn't move.

"Don't eat?" Han Chengyue said calmly, "Sure, I'll eat all the sweet and sour ribs."

One move hit Liu Man's Achilles' heel. "you dare!"

The meal was finally finished without incident. Han Chengyue cleaned up the dishes, and Lin Xiao said from the side: "When I leave, can you take this rubbish with you?"

"No, I'll throw it away after dinner."

A scream of surprise came from the living room - "Ah! Little volleyball!"

"It seems that I really like the gift you gave me!" After finishing speaking, he turned and left when he saw that he couldn't help.

Han Chengyue glanced at Lin Xiao's back lightly. Although he bought the gift, it was Lin Xiao who chose it.

It seems that it started from the year when Liu Ziping and Wang Zhen's plane crashed. Lin Xiao would ask himself one month in advance every year if he had any plans for birthday presents.

A month ago, during the summer vacation, Lin Xiao came to the convenience store where he worked to buy water. When he saw his short sleeves and shorts, sweating all over his body, Han Chengyue knew that he was going to play golf. "How many bottles?"

"6 bottle."

"You don't think it's too hot to play in the summer?"

"Isn't this here to buy ice water? By the way, it's almost September again. Have you thought about a birthday gift yet?" Without waiting for his answer, Lin Xiao said to himself: "Send her to Xiangyang Xiangyang Let’s do it! This is the best gift I can think of, if you give it to her, she will definitely be surprised and moved..."

"Come on, can you let me go? There are still customers waiting to check out!"

In the end, he still accepted Lin Xiao's suggestion. Anyway, he didn't know what to give, and now it seems that giving the full set of "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation" is definitely a thankless task. table up.

From this point of view, Lin Xiao is far more suitable to be Liu Man's brother than he is, understands her better than him, and can coax people, probably Liu Man thinks so in his heart.

Think about it this way, Han Chengyue folded the dishes in the sink, walked to the kitchen door, and saw Liu Man and Lin Xiaowo playing with the figurine on the sofa through the half-open gap, and couldn't help but feel a little dazzling , he took a few steps back.

The existence of Lin Xiao seems to remind him of how failed this brother is, but Han Chengyue will never admit it even if he realizes it. It is clear that Lin Xiao is the culprit who caused their family to be broken up. He is close to Liu Man just to let Liu Man Alienate himself even more so that he has no one to sue for his crimes.

In fact, even if he didn't make such a fuss, Han Chengyue didn't really want to mention it in front of Liu Man.

At that time, it happened to be Huang Meitian, and it was raining all the time, lingering, and deserted. Han Chengyue and Liu Man were busy arranging the funeral of their parents, and bought a joint tomb in a cemetery in the suburbs, and buried their parents' clothes.

After finishing her work, Liu Man fell ill like a mountain, and the fever slowly subsided after three days and three nights.The doctor advised not to irritate the patient. The patient is weak and should not have too much mood swings.

Han Chengyue nodded again and again, thinking of Liu Man lying on the bed silently, he was still afraid for a while.

After sweeping the tomb, Han Chengyue went quietly by himself, fearing that she would think of sad things again.

The cemetery has inconvenient traffic and sparsely populated, but the management staff are very attentive. When Han Chengyue goes to visit the grave on Qingming or the anniversary of death, he will always find the tombstone clean as new, and a bunch of blooming white chrysanthemums are placed in front of the grave.

Han Chengyue clenched his fists, and when he was about to move forward, he suddenly heard Liu Man say: "Brother Lin, I want to learn computers like you in the future. The School of Computer and Software Engineering at Lian University seems to be very good, but I don't know if I can do it." Admitted to..."

"Now is not the time to talk about frustration, how will you know if you don't try it?" Lin Xiao pointed to the little figure in her hand, "Hinata is less than 1.6 meters tall, but he can compete with tall players in front of the volleyball court. Who would have dared to believe in a competition of stature?"

Han Chengyue took out his mobile phone and searched for Hinata Xiangyang on the browser. Lin Xiao said before that the little man with the orange hedgehog head was the best birthday present he thought. chain, add to cart.Now, he probably knew why Lin Xiao said that.

"Because of my small size, I have to work harder, try to run faster and jump higher, so that I can stand on the court."

"The examination room is actually the same as the stadium, full of competition. Because of the poor foundation, we must redouble our efforts and catch up, so that we will not regret it in the examination room..."

When Lin Xiao got up and was about to leave, Han Chengyue came out of the kitchen and said, "I'm going out to buy some salt."

Lin Xiao raised his eyes and looked at him thoughtfully. Han Chengyue felt that he seemed to have seen through his true thoughts. Sure enough, Lin Xiao opened the door of his own house, but did not rush in. When he closed the door behind him, he turned his head It seems, "Is there anything else you need from me?"

Although it was punctured, Han Chengyue was not flustered, and his tone was not very curious when he asked, "How do you know?"

"Your kitchen seasoning box is still full of salt."

Seeing the gray room behind him, Han Chengyue couldn't help asking, "Aren't uncles and aunts here?"

Lin Xiao nodded, "Did you hear the sound of the ambulance last night? My brother passed out suddenly, and they are all in the hospital now."

"Are you ok?"

Lin Xiao sighed, "Not once or twice."

"Hopefully it gets better soon."

"Thank you for your kind words." Lin Xiao suddenly realized, "You came with me to ask about this?"

"...Forget it, and, do you like me..." Han Chengyue clearly saw Lin Xiao's eyes widen and his pupils constricted, which was a sign of nervousness.

"Like my sister?"

After saying that, Lin Xiao blinked, then half-bent down, clutching his stomach and laughing.

Han Chengyue was confused, but seeing Lin Xiao smiling, tears came out of his smile, the corners of his eyes were red, as if he had drawn a line with cinnabar.
